As Raya sat backstage, she tried to take in deep breaths. Her nerves were on fire and her body was shaking. She couldn’t believe tonight was really happening. Raya was actually about to face off in a match against Kyoko Akan, the woman who’d bodied everyone in the division and was the greatest champion that law had ever had according to herself. Despite the fact that she had now lost her middleweight belt, Raya hadn’t lost an ounce of the respect she’d had for the woman.

But she also knew how dangerous Kyoko could be as an enemy, and although she knew she was playing with house money, Raya did want to put on a good performance and maybe even win, not just to impress the belly queen but for her own goals as a law wrestler. Her losses were racking up and she was beginning to stagnate, and a thunderous performance against such a star might be exactly what she needed.

Raya wondered what she would say to her opponent right before the match started. She didn’t want to be too complimentary and make her think that she was a pushover, but she also didn’t want to be too over aggressive in her trash talk and antagonize her needlessly. She thought for a while but blanked until finally it was time for her to walk into the arena. Another thought came into her head that this was the first time she'd ever taken a non standard match at law. She thought it might feel weird or off in some way. So far it hadn't, but she'd wait til the match started before reserving judgement.

Raya had always been callous when it comes to the crowd, she’d always acted as if they didn’t exist, and to a certain extent it was true that the crowd was a nonfactor to Raya, but tonight as she walked out into the arena, she felt exposed as the crowd roared. She tried to blur out the noise, not wanting to find out if those screams were cheers or boos. She took a deep breath and walked towards the ring, and as she entered would stand there and listen to the announcer introducing her while she would wait for her opponent to show up.

Kyoko Akan was pissed, she had everything and now it had come crashing down around her. Now instead of taking on the best of the best and touring the world she was facing a relatively new face like she wasn't the best there ever was in this place. Not a title match, not a high stakes fight, just a...match. The Belly Queen couldn't stomach this post reign era, she wanted it to end already and she was going to make sure that the world knew she was still a champ no matter what any record showed or what anyone said.

Kyoko's music hit and instead of the usual flair and posing she did or showboating the Belly Queen came marching out with murder on her eyes. Getting to the ring in record time and stomping up the steel steps Kyoko stepped up to the Raya woman and glared at her. "So you're the one they want wasting my precious time after all this?" Kyoko asked looking her for up and down. "You know what, nevermind it's not important, no matter what you're dead anyway." Kyoko hissed turning her back on her opponent and going to her corner to prepare herself.

Raya watched as Kyoko came out furiously, walking to the ring without wasting a single moment. She gulped and prepared herself, and when Kyoko stepped up to her she felt a bit intimidated, but that slight fear turned to anger as her opponent quickly dismissed her.

It was absolutely humiliating, knots formed in her stomach as she listened to the woman who then turned her back to Raya and walked back to her corner. Kyoko’s arrogance was what Raya usually liked to see but now that she was on the receiving end it felt much different than as a spectator.

“Y-you know what?” Raya said in a mixture of anger and embarrassment. “I was gonna come out here and say some bullshit like “you’re still the true champ in my book” but fuck that, I’m not some pathetic worm you can just step over like you did everyone else! I’m gonna waste as much of your so-called precious time as I want!”

When the match started, she’d come out swinging right off the bat. She would immediately launch herself at Kyoko with reckless abandon, looking to grab at her and bring her down to the ground. It was a foolish move, all the lessons she’d learned about biding her time and not leaving herself wide open from the get go had gone out the window the moment she had allowed her emotions to get riled up by her opponent for what seemed to be the millionth time, and against such a foe as Kyoko any small mistake could prove to be fatal, in other words it was the worst possible time for Raya to lose her cool!
