Today presented Jem with an auspicious opportunity, indeed. She had joined LAW in order to further her reputation and career as a streamer, and what better way to do that than by pursuing (and hopefully obtaining) what was sure to become one of the most coveted prizes at the League of Anime Wrestling: the LAW Middleweight Championship!



Clad in her usual dress that she enjoyed wrestling in, the eccentric blonde patted her face and brought her hands to her side before smiling and hyping herself up with a pep talk. She awaited backstage ready to make her entrance! "Woo! No amount of sponsorships or donations are gonna compare to the feeling of going for the gold...! Well...I guess they'll compare when they increase exponentially as a result of the fame and attention gained from coming close to or winning the gold, but first! This qualifier!" As she talked herself through her mindset for the night, Holland's signature entrance theme would play and she'd bounce into the arena to the sounds of praise and cheers of an adoring fan base. She'd begin to casually make her way down the ramp. She stopped once to hug a fan that was wearing a shirt with the url to her twitch channel. Finally, she'd make it to the ring and roll under the bottom rope and take her place in the corner. The blonde firecracker would climb the turnbuckle and continue waving to and acknowledging her adoring fans for a moment before asking the referee to fetch her a mic.

After receiving it, she'd beckon her opponent for her qualifier match to make her way to the ring via a short promo. " Jem Holland would like to battle! And she's looking to become Middleweight Champ! All I have to do is get past a bunch of other women who are looking to do the same! So whoever you are! Large or small, tall or wide, short or stout, come out and start this bout! See me in this ring so you can GET SET! A quick pause would follow so that the audience, or the members of which that were familiar with her and her catch phrase at least, could finish the line with her. "TO GET WRECKED!" After finishing up and invigorating the audience, she'd return the mic and take her place in her corner to await her foe's arrival.

Aisha watched from backstage, as Jem made her entrance, addressing the crowd once she had reached the ring. The girl seemed...eccentric, yes. That was a good word for it. It didn't seem like anything Aisha couldn't handle though. The diva had fought her fair share of strange women in her career, and as far as she was concerned, Jem was just one more name to add to that list.

When the time finally came, Aisha took a deep breath, steadying her nerves and making her entrance into the arena.



She stepped out from the gorilla position and onto the entrance ramp, holding her head high and clutching a microphone in one hand. She wore her usual ring attire, and a slight smirk on her face, and raising her microphone to her lips she began to address the younger woman in the ring.

"Hey! You!" She began, making sure her voice was strong and loud, to get the gamer's attention. "Let me tell you something! There's no way you're going to become the Middleweight Champion around here, girl, and you do you want to know why?" She took a quick pause, almost as if giving Jem the chance to respond, before speaking back up against quickly.

"Because that title is gonna be mine, girl, and not you or any other woman in this company is gonna get their hands on it before I do!"

With those words said, the diva threw her microphone to the side and started down the ramp, exploding into a run until she had reached the ring. She slid right under the ropes and sprung up to her feet, flashing Jem a grin as she headed to her corner. Once there, she started to bounce up and down on her heels, throwing a few quick punches at the air as she waited for the bell to ring, the Rose eager and anxious to get the match under way!

The appearance of a foe that seemed to be every bit as confident as Jem was - another women that was steadfast in her quest for the title, spurred the crowd on even more! The audience cheered loudly after Aisha threw her mic to the ground and dashed down the ramp before sliding into the ring. Holland would return Aisha's confident grin with one of her own. As her fellow blonde began warming up in the corner with some bouncing and shadowboxing, Jem would nod and mouth to her: 'Oh! I like you!'.

Jem would do some stretching of her own as she and her opponent awaited the sound of the bell. The audience would clamor in anticipation of the start of this contest. Jem wasn't sure of who she was up against exactly. But she was determined to try her best. When the bell sounded, the streamer broke into a run and dashed towards the Rose.

"Time to back up that smack talk, scrub!" Jem declared as she approached Aisha. If she got in range, she'd jump off the ground and attempt to seize momentum early by hitting her opponent with a Running Dropkick!

[Lunaspark]

When the bell rang, Aisha began to move towards the center of the ring, moving to meet Jem. She stayed light on her heels as she moved, taking a moment to glance over the other blonde and size her up. She was taken aback though, at Jem's sudden taunt, the diva stopping in place with a confused look on her face.

"Scrub?! Who you calling a scrub?!"

Of course, that moment of confused left Aisha wide open, a perfect target for Jem's dropkick. The diva was struck right in the center of her chest, and with wide eyes and a loud 'oof' of pain and shock, she went tumbling down onto her back.

She laid there for just a few seconds, trying to comprehend what had just happened, then quickly tried to rise again, trying to get back on her feet but knowing fully well that she was open to Jem's follow-up.

[winner3]

Jem's attempt at taking initiative early on seemed to pay off. The streamer was able to rush her opponent and hit her in the chest with both bare feet via a Running Dropkick. After landing the move, Jem would fall to the canvas and quickly work her way up to her feet while smiling with the satisfaction of having hit the move. She'd approach Aisha as the diva was rising up to her feet and wrap her arms around her head to help guide her foe to her feet.

Jem would attempt to follow up with a stiff forearm to side of Aisha's face! She'd try to knock her foe in the direction of the corner of the ring, asserting herself verbally in this attempt should it be successful.

"I'm calling you a scrub, lady! Watcha gonna do 'bout it?"

If Holland were able to get her foe in the corner, she'd grab hold of Aisha's arms and throw them over the top rope before attempting to hit her with a stiff chop, aimed at her upper chest area, just above her bosom!

[Lunaspark]

Aisha's head reeled backwards as Jem's forearm slammed into it, and the diva began to stumble backwards, straight towards the corner that Jem had aimed her at. She could hear the gamer girl yelling at her, but she was trying to ignore her taunts, trying to focus on the match at hand.

She was feeling a little dazed though. The one-two combination of the dropkick and the forearm to her face was leaving her a little dizzy, perfect for Jem to take advantage of.

Soon enough, her arms were thrown over the ropes, leaving the blonde trapped in place. Jem's chop slammed against Aisha's bare skin, and the diva's body shuddered. She cried out, and began to slump down, hanging against the corner as her opponent very clearly took the lead in their match.

Jem continued to smile as she took command of this match up early on. Her fans in particular were vocal about her success thus far. After hitting Aisha with a stiff chop across the chest, Holland raised an arm to acknowledge them and quickly returned her attention back to her foe. Aisha was sliding downwards and Jem didn't want any of them. She grabbed the diva by her sides and attempted to prop her up in the corner yet again as if to set her up for another strike!

"You're still looking scrubby! Come on, where's all that fire from before?!" She'd say before prepping herself to unleash a plethora of mixed strikes on her opponent in the corner. Jem would attempt a series of punches and chops in an attempt to wear Aisha down. If she was able to keep her opponent at bay, the referee would step in and ask her to remove her foe from the corner. This would prompt Jem to grab hold of Aisha's hand an attempt to send the woman across the ring with an Irish Whip. The young wrestler attempted to send her opponent to the turnbuckle opposite from them. If successful in doing this, she'd run after her Aisha and to leap into the air with the intention of keeping her momentum via with a Body Splash to her foe in the corner!

[Lunaspark]

Jem's wild combo of strikes would find their mark, each punch and each chop hitting Aisha hard, each blow causing the crowd to cheer a little louder. Aisha bit her tongue though, bearing the brunt of the strikes as Jem hammered upon her. She could bear this. The diva was tough, and even though Jem's strikes stung like hell, she knew she could weather this storm.

She breathed a sigh of relief as the referee finally stepped in, but that relief was short lived. In the next few seconds, she was flung across the ring and went flying to the opposite corner. She turned outwards just before hitting it, her back slamming against it and forcing her to grunt rather loudly, but now? Now Aisha knew she had a chance to turn things around.

When Jem came flying at her again, the blonde took a deep breath, gathering her energy and waiting for just the right moment to strike. When the streamer leaped towards her with the splash, that's when Aisha finally acted. Her long, toned leg flew upwards to meet the gamer, Aisha trying to slam her boot into the woman as she jumped through the air towards her!

[winner3]

Jem's command of the match thus far was being asserted through cheers and her own intense demeanor. Holland was taking it to Aisha with a successive strikes and an attitude! After sending her fellow blonde towards the corner, the streamer dashed towards her foe and leaped into the air. The flaps of her dressed waved as she soared and prepped herself to sandwich her opponent between herself and turnbuckle!

But Aisha would see to it that she wouldn't be kept on defense much longer! The Diva raised her slender yet powerful leg and in one effective motion, nailed Jem in mouth with a kick resembling a Big Boot! The force of the kick was augmented by Jem's running start and jump. Rather than Splash her foe in the corner, Jem would find herself falling to the canvas just in front of Aisha!

"URGH!" Jem groaned as she came crashing down.

She held her jaw and remained faced down for a short time. The audience gasped and then cheered in reaction to the strike! Many were impressed with how Aisha managed to seize this opportunity to turn the tides!

[Lunaspark]

Aisha sighed deeply in relief as her boot connected with Jem's face, sending the woman sprawling to the mat before her. The tables were turned, and now the Diva could begin to turn things around, and take advantage of the match.

Like she should have done from the start.

She stepped forward, and then dropped to the mat beside of Jem, lying close to her. Her arms reached out, and the blonde tried to slide them around Jem's face. She was trying to pull her into a simple crossface hold. Nothing fancy, nothing too damaging, but hopefully enough that Aisha could wear her down and get a bit of rest herself.
