Spoiler

Raya sat backstage, waiting for the moment she’d enter the ring. She was curious about her opponent this time, the name “Lovestar” suggested something to do with love obviously. Regardless, she didn’t care that much, she only needed to do her job and get a much needed victory, if she couldn’t even get one here then what hope did she have at staying in law? In a sense, this was a do or die match, to determine whether she really was fit to continue. After all, losing wasn’t something she enjoyed, and it damn well wasn’t what she planned the result of tonight to be.

When the time came, she walked out into the arena, making her way calmly into the ring. It was only as she walked up the steps that she realized that this calm had been odd for her, for the first time she didn’t feel the weight of nerves tearing her apart. Was this the result of experience or finally having the taste of victory under her belt? It didn’t matter, regardless she could use this to give herself momentum.

Raya entered the ring and stood there, ignoring the crowd, ignoring the announcers calling her name, fixated on nothing but the match as she waited for her opponent to make her entrance.

The arena lights dimmed just slightly…then—


A vibrant salsa trap beat hit the speakers!

Lovestar New Theme Music

The stage exploded into pink and neon lights, hearts pulsing across the titantron as the name LOVESTAR flashed in glittering script. The crowd shifted from curiosity to full-on energy in seconds.

And then—she appeared.

Lovestar stepped out with a confident sway of her hips, her masked face tilted with a knowing smile. She didn’t rush. She glided, owning every inch of that stage like it was hers.

Her fingers danced in the air to the rhythm, teasing, playful, every movement matching the beat. She spun once, letting the lights catch her before pointing out to the crowd—

“¿Me extrañaron, mi gente?~”



The crowd popped, cheers rising louder as she laughed softly and began her walk down the ramp. Hearts pulsed around her, matching the aesthetic from her gear—pink, radiant, almost glowing under the lights.

Lovestar blew a kiss to the fans on one side…then the other—

“Muah~ para ustedes… porque yo sé que vinieron a verme, verdad?”

She winked.

Halfway down the ramp, her eyes finally locked onto the ring…onto Raya.

Her expression didn’t harden—no. It softened, almost amused.

“Ahhh… so tú eres mi oponente tonight…”

She placed a hand over her heart dramatically.

“Qué linda… pero tan seria, mami.”

Lovestar stepped up onto the apron with effortless grace, wiping her boots before slipping through the ropes. Once inside, she walked a slow circle around Raya, not threatening—just studying.

Then she stopped in front of her.

She tilted her head.

Smiled.

And gently blew a kiss straight at Raya.

“Muah~”

Her voice dropped just enough to feel personal.

“Don’t worry, okay? I’ll go easy on you… maybe~”

A playful shrug followed.

“Pero si no puedes keep up… no es mi culpa, corazón.”

Lovestar backed into her corner, still smiling, still dancing slightly to the fading beat of her music—eyes never leaving Raya, like she’d already decided this was going to be fun.

Raya was slightly taken aback by the spectacle that had been taking place before her, was she here to wrestle or put on a show? Judging by that entrance, the latter looked more likely. Of course, Raya didn’t mind since that would just be an advantage to her.

When Lovestar finally stepped out, Raya couldn’t take her eyes off of her. She watched as her opponent swayed her hips in confidence before spinning and pointing to the crowd as she started speaking, although Raya couldn’t understand the actual words being spoken, but she didn’t care much for them. She waited still, tapping her leg on the mat as if trying to get the other woman to hurry up, but of course Lovestar’s focus was far from being on Raya, until suddenly their eyes locked, causing Raya’s face to flush slightly as she tried to remain cool but failed.

“Wha-I-I don’t know what exactly you’re talking about, but I ain’t no “mami” got it?” She said while stuttering slightly, her eyes darting away from Lovestar’s the moment the other woman winked at her.

Then, as Lovestar entered the ring and stopped just in front of her, Raya took a small step back and gulped in an uncharacteristic shyness. Usually, she’d be more than willing to engage in a war of words prior to a match’s start, but tonight she simply felt like her tongue was tied up, having almost no words for the other woman, she could do nothing but stare as her opponent had easily taken control of this interaction and gotten under her skin before the match had even started.

“Shut up!” Raya responded, “you better not go easy, because I’ll be sure to make you regret it, and trust me I won’t take that as an excuse from you after I obliterate you!”

As the match started, Raya considered just charging forward right at the woman to make her pay for the way she had toyed with Raya so easily, but she remained composed and reminded herself of her previous matches and what had happened to her after she let herself be goaded by her opponents. And so, she instead stood there and put her arms up, offering Lovestar a test of strength in a collar and elbow tie up, wondering if she would even go for it despite Raya’s clear advantage physically. Regardless, Lovestar's response would tell Raya just what kind of opponent she had in store.
