Chapter 48: It’s Your Fault!
The moment Rob heard the crowd’s reaction to Diana’s music he knew that this segment was going to be epic. The crowd was truly invested in the segment. It was one of the most important ingredients in creating something great. And having it present, Rob knew that if the performers did good, this segment was going to be epic.
Rob watched as Diana made her usual way into the ring. Diana had been out for over three weeks. And last week she had merely rushed into the ring to save Joselyn. So, her entrance took some time as she pandered to the crowd and played up to them.
Diana slowly made her way into the ring and got a microphone in her hands. She looked around at everyone present with a small smile on her face. The crowd absolutely adored her as they started chanting Diana! Diana! Diana!
Diana took it in good grace and she posed a bit with her championship before clearing her throat. The crowd went silent waiting eagerly to hear her speak. They know that there must be something important for her to be in the main event.
"When I came out here last time, I wanted to prove myself as a fighting champion. And to that effect, I challenged the entire locker room backstage. And I wasn’t disappointed. There indeed were a few takers, and boy, oh boy, didn’t we go on to make history!!!"
The crowd roared in approval.
"Whether it was Evelyn or Selena, they brought their A-game to <Break Out>. They gave me one hell of a fight. But... But, in the end, I prevailed. Even with the odds stacked against me. Even with less than one-third of a shot at success. Even with facing two opponents instead of one. Even with being considered as an underdog heading into that match... I prevailed."
The crowd once more started chanting Diana! Diana! Diana! Diana rode out the chant with a smile on her face and gracefully acknowledged the crowd by raising her championship belt.
"I prevailed..." Diana shouted. "I prevailed the war with two of the absolute best this business had to offer. I beat the odds and stood at the end of the match as still the LWC Women’s Champion!!!!"
The crowd was truly riled up by now.
"Me, Evelyn, and Selena, we all put our bodies on the line. Went to war. Tore up each other. And goddamnit we made fucking history," Diana said impassionedly causing the crowd to cheer.
"And then what happened? Dacey Surestone happened..." Diana said scowling at the crowd.
