Match Type: Standard Match Rules: Victory by submission, pinfall, or knockout.
----
This was a big match in the making - one that would mark multiple firsts in LAW. For one of its participants - E'isa, the Endless X - it would be her debut match in the company; one that would showcase her skills to a whole new audience and set the stage for a new chapter in her career. But for her opponent, Maxine Rossi, it was her first match since joining the newly-christened Morgan Dynasty, stepping into her new role as enforcer for Cynara Morgan and a key player in her plot to take back control of a wrestling world she once enjoyed the favor of. Maxine didn't know anything about her opponent tonight, or what she could expect from her - but then, she didn't need to. No matter who E'isa was, she wouldn't stand a chance once she got into the ring with the World's Sexiest Love Machine - all she would serve as was an example for what was in store for anyone who got in the way of the Morgan Dynasty!
"Coming first to the ring, from Los Angeles, California! At 6'2, weighing 180 pounds, and representing the Morgan Dynasty...MAXINE ROSSI!" Spoiler
Music
As her music blared over the speakers, Maxine came through the curtains and down the entrance ramp, her hands raised to greet the fans - who showered her with cheers and boos alike; in truth, Maxine didn't care about what they thought. She already had the wealth and the success, and with Cynara's money backing her up, she was made for life. Now, she was out to show off what she could offer to her new employers, as she stepped into the ring, giving her behind a smack to draw more attention to her assets. "All right, who's out there? Who wants a faceful?" she taunted - an interjection that garnered a few more cheers from the action she promised!
"YO ROOKIE YOU'RE UP!" Someone backstage would yell signaling it was time. E'isa would walk up to the ramp, anxious and full of nerves. Feeling like a lot was on the line for her here. It would be her first time making an appearance on this stage! She would sit back on the ramp behind the curtain for a second and contemplate if she was ready but then look back at her journey and realize she was. "If anyone can put on a show on this stage it's ME!" She let out a battle-cry that would be heard into the arena! Which everyone would hear including Maxine who seemed visibly confused.
HAILING FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANNIA! "THE ENDLESS X... EISAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Then her music hit and her energy would completely change. Spoiler
Entrance Theme: Spoiler
She would come out and throw both hands in the air before crossing her arms in an "X" to an ovation that would surprise her? As she didn't know people were really looking into her come-up before this debut.
She would stop halfway down the arena and take it all in! Feel the air in the arena and realize she is indeed a star and the show is about her before anyone else. Then she'd look down at Maxine in the ring and an evil grin would emerge. "THIS CHICK ISN'T READY FOR THE TRAIN" She'd think to herself smiling menacingly. "AM THE TRAIN! and you're just here to LET ME SHOW THESE PEOPLE what this ENGINE is packing MAMA" She'd begin to let out an evil laugh as she continued her pacing to the ring, entrance theme booming as Maxine was confused as to what was so funny. She'd make her way to the steps into the ring before raising her arm up to another ovation as she felt the crowd. She wanted all the eyes on her even in her debut. She'd climb the steps and slide into the ring before looking Maxine up and down before smiling. E'isa would then do something shocking, she'd put her hand out as a gesture of respect which confused Maxine? Maxine would look at it hesitant for a couple seconds before looking like she would attempt to meet her gesture. But before their hands would meet E'isa would take her hand back and rub her curls. "You made me wait to long.. don't you know not to leave stars waiting amor?" E'isa winked before heading back to the corner turnbuckle to stretch before the official start.
The moment Maxine heard E'isa issue the battle cry, she turned her head toward the curtains. Her opponent was ready to make her first impression in LAW a big one - before she'd even shown her face, she was hyping herself up! When she did make her entrance, that didn't disappoint either - she came storming down the entrance ramp, rallying the crowd behind her as she threw a few taunts in Maxine's direction. And the crowds were ready to meet her - they cheered on every step she took, and every threat she hurled at her opponent. This was E'isa's first match in LAW, and for many watching this was the first time they had ever seen her. No one knew what she could do, or if she'd be any good. But right now, in their eyes, she might as well have been a reigning champion, and everyone greeted her as such. If E'isa was this fired up for the match, she had to have promise - and her enthusiasm alone was all she needed to convince everyone this match could well see Maxine meeting her match!
Seeing such a display, the former porn star raised an eyebrow. She looked E'isa up and down. Without a doubt, she was confident, determined - bombastic, even. She had a way to get the fans behind her. When the management told her she was facing a debuting rookie, Maxine would've been forgiven for thinking she was being fed a hopeless jobber, but one look at E'isa was enough to tell her she wasn't that. But whether she was or not, it wouldn't change anything. Maxine was just as confident that her victory was assured - if anything, E'isa's confidence was only going to blow up in her face.
Indeed, Maxine didn't know what to think of E'isa holding out her hand - after how combative she had been, such a friendly gesture seemed out of place. She was half-expecting this to all be a setup for an ambush or a cheap shot. It took a few moments for Maxine to get her thoughts straight enough to offer a hand of her own...but by that point, E'isa had already jerked her hand back. And insisted she was the star, no less. This time, Maxine's eyes narrowed on her. Yes, she'd made up her mind. The ordeal had given her a good idea of what she could expect from her opponent. And she was ready to make her choke on that overconfidence of hers.
With the two women heading to their corners, Maxine's gaze was fixed on E'isa. "Hon, I must say...you've got the showbiz thing down pat, but calling yourself a star? Really?" She took a few stretches of her own before resting her arms over the top rope and leaning back in the corner. "There's only one star in this ring, and by the time this match is over, you'll know who that is, alright..."
*DING DING DING*
The moment the bell rang, Maxine pushed herself to her feet, where she was quick to move in toward the center of the ring. Bending at the knees and lifting her hands, she leaned closer, offering a test of strength to E'isa. Now it was time to see what she really had to offer...
E'isa would step up ready and willing to show out and prove she belongs. Not only to Maxine and the crowd but to the most important person herself!
She'd walk up ready to lock up in a battle of strength and give Maxine a taste of what's to come.
*EXTENDS TO LOCK UP*
"She's got a nice look and an even nicer figure.. But there can only be one true star in this ring and only one winner hand raised at the end.. Time to show her why it isn't her"
E'isa would attempt to overwhelm Maxine right out the gate! Using her strength to send that always needed message to her opponent.
"Just like they always told me.. Show em off the rip what you're packing and it might surprise then.. And give an immediate opening"
Even as E'isa was leaning in to return the lockup, Maxine's eyes were wandering up and down over her form, studying every inch of her body, her posture, and her motions. She knew better than to let her guard down, of course, but when Maxine was already convinced of her own superiority, she saw no reason to believe she had anything to worry about. She'd show E'isa soon enough that she was no one to mess with - and that the newcomer would regret the flippant disregard she had shown for her. In fact, she was already licking her lips with anticipation at the thought of taking E'isa down, and proving the price of her opponent's arrogance. But E'isa was just as determined to make a strong showing - and she would make that clear enough when she shoved at Maxine with all her might, pushing the former porn star back!
The force of the push was enough to make Maxine go teetering backward. She wasn't ready for it - and in that moment, it almost took her whole footing out from under her. Her eyes went wide - for a fleeting moment, the thought that maybe she had underestimated her foe ran through her head. But she wasn't going to let that stop her, either. It would only be a minor setback in the way of proving her rightful place in this ring!
Gritting her teeth, Maxine shoved back at E'isa with just as much force, attempting to drive her backward and reverse the momentum! If E'isa wanted to show Maxine she wouldn't let herself be pushed around, Maxine wanted her to know she wouldn't have it easy!
E'isa would feel like she'd gotten a good start and rattled Maxine for a moment. The cocky Latina would take a moment to admire her form.. not paying attention to her surrounding or opponent! Feeling something off but unsure what. She would try to focus back on Maxine then see her coming to shove back.. Feeling it wouldn't be more than she could handle the Latina would attempt to hold her ground! But then she'd get pushed with what felt like equal force! She'd bounce into the ropes, wanting to respond she'd lean into her momentum attempting to catch Maxime off guard. Her usual offense would usually mean going full throttle at someone with her body and arms but feeling it might be predictable. E'isa would opt to not use her arms and go for double dropkick.
"THIS'LL SHOW HER!"
Feeling the wind and full momentum of not only her own speed but the added boost the Maxine shove gave her. She'd jump into her hoping to drop her off this kick and bring the energy right back to her side! As she felt this could be a catalyst for her to show off more and more of what she had to offer in her bag of tricks.
The match had begun with the two women joining hands, each of them pushing up against one another with all the force they could muster. Right from the get-go, it seemed to be neck and neck - E'isa was holding Maxine back, but the former porn star dug her heels into the mat, pushing back against her with enough force to completely counter out her momentum. Both women were strong - and more importantly, both of them were committed wholeheartedly to winning this match. They couldn't allow themselves to come up short!
Maxine would end up winning out, however, when she shoved her opponent with enough force to make her go stumbling backward. That brought a smirk to her face, and she dusted off her hands with a sense of smug satisfaction - that would be all anyone needed to see to be sure that Maxine would emerge the stronger, tougher, and better woman between the two. But E'isa was about to show them something, too - she wasn't just big; she could move surprisingly quickly for a woman of her size. And that was something she'd put to the test when she shot herself off the ropes, bouncing back toward Maxine with her feet extended for the dropkick!
It all happened so quickly, Maxine had no way to prepare herself - not before the soles of her opponent's feet buried deep in her chest! All the momentum she carried was behind her, and it proved enough to throw Maxine off her feet, causing her to land on the mat with a thud. A cry of "Oooh" could be heard at such an impressive display from E'isa. But Maxine wasn't going to let that stop her now - glaring in her foe's direction, she went to roll over to the side before getting her hands and knees underneath her and pushing herself back up.
"Don't get cocky, now!" she snapped, settling back into a stance as she kept a watchful eye on E'isa. "It won't be that easy!"
E'isa, feeling confident, watched as Maxine got back up. She met Maxine's gaze, knowing that Maxine was not an easy opponent.
"We'll see about that she said."
The Latina prepared for her next move, wanting to keep the fight up close and personal, which was her style, unless she was the one rushing her opponent. She stepped in, hoping for a reaction or a counter from Maxine before making her next move. She believed that if Maxine took the bait and closed the gap, she could catch her off guard. E'isa used these first few interactions to assess what would and wouldn't work against her opponent.
E'isa had just demonstrated that she was quick on her feet - and when she could gather that momentum behind her, she could draw on it to make sure her blows would land that much harder. Maxine had found that out the hard way when the impact threw her off her feet. But she was far from finished, and she quickly rolled out of the way and got to her feet. Now, Maxine knew what she could expect from her opponent - and how important it was that she didn't underestimate her. This early in the match, she still had plenty of stamina left in her, and she wasn't going to let it fail her now.
In fact, when E'isa came toward Maxine, the former porn star was convinced she could use that same momentum against her! A smirk came to her face when she realized how well everything was playing into her plan. As soon as she was in range, she would duck down and try to throw her arms around E'isa in an attempt to latch onto her. If that worked, she'd throw herself backward and toss E'isa head-first into the canvas for a German suplex!
E'isa was fully immersed in her momentum, her focus laser-sharp on Maxine as she approached, confidence radiating from her every movement. She felt certain that she could make a solid connection.
"SHE'S ABOUT TO FIND OU..."
Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. E'isa was caught completely off guard when she realized that Maxine had been anticipating her approach. In an astonishing display of skill, Maxine used the Latina’s forward momentum against her, executing a perfectly timed counter. E'isa stunned, glimpsed Maxine’s smirk, and came to the harsh realization that she had walked right into a trap.
Before she could process the turn of events, Maxine expertly latched onto her waist. With calculated precision, she harnessed all of E'isa's energy, combining it with her own to throw her backward with incredible force. E'isa’s body flipped in the air, and she landed headfirst onto the canvas, the impact of the German Suplex reverberating through the arena. The audience gasped collectively as they witnessed the severity of her fall, recognizing that the force had temporarily knocked the wind out of her.
“UGHH!”
The technique and force caused E'isa to flip over onto her stomach, feeling dazed and disoriented from the collision. Maxine, on the other hand, appeared to have unlocked a new level of understanding in their match. She seemed to have deciphered the Latina's approach to an extent, leaving her opponent visibly shaken and the crowd buzzing with anticipation for what would unfold next.
E'isa trying to regain her composure, turned her head. Her face pressed to the side of the canvas, her irritation bubbling beneath the surface. Not only had Maxine successfully anticipated her movements, but she had executed her counter with a level of finesse that few could achieve. E'isa lay on the canvas, grappling with feelings of frustration and disbelief, searching for answers as to how she had been outmaneuvered.
