Cancelled

Arjuna nervously waited backstage, switching the weight of her body between her legs, crossing her arms in an impatient motion. She wasn’t sure about what she was doing there and was starting to get impatient, getting mad at her agent. Her manager just texted her last night telling the Canadian-Indian to be there that day at that exact time.

“Some strong fighter is going to do something. We are not sure but if it is an open challenge it may be the chance you wanted to take the spotlight. Good luck, tigress.”

Arjuna still wasn’t sure that this was what she needed at that time. She indeed wanted some good oportunity to rise in front of the public and shine with her best light against some powerful rival, but she knew nothing about the person doing some promo tonight. What if she was all bark and no bite? She didn’t want a pushover, the Indian needed a real fight, a really strong rival to clash against.

And it looked that the Indian was just going to get exactly what she wanted. From her hiding spot she noticed a tall and fit blonde woman walk confidently to the ring. The woman knew how to use aesthetics to reinforce the strong and imposing image she wanted for herself. Her blonde hair looked shiny and taken care of but also wild, and her outfit revealed how strong she was and was adorned with what it looked like her personal logo. Also one of her arms was wrapped in a glove that made it look like some kind of prothesic robotic arm. All of that gave her confident look an even more menacing aura, like she was able to control any situation. She looked dangerous but also calm, like a big predator so sure of itself it doesn’t need to raise its guard while walking around.

On her way Astrid took some time to bathe on the appreciation from the crowds. That, that was exactly the thing Arjuna was after. Getting to get a good win and loss ratio meant nothing if she wasn’t able to get the public’s love. Back in her home Canada Arjuna got to win some tournaments, but the scenario wasn’t as big and crowded as the world prestigious AFW and most likely no one knew her, but there was this woman getting all the love from the thousands of people crammed in that stadium. She wanted that for herself, and maybe by challenging that woman she would get the chance of really showing her best by fighting a strong rival.

Luckily for Arjuna, the Golden Haired Dragon was there just to issue an open challenge. She proudly stated her prowess and how she woudl prevail against any challenger. It looked like Astrid wanted so bad to validate her reputation as a tough fighter. She also knew how to get the crowd on her pocket, the Dragon made sure that whoever got to step to the challenge she would have the crowd against her.

Spoiler:

There was nothing to be done. This is what the Indian wanted, so when Astrid finished her speech and stood defiant, waiting for someone to just come out from the very curtains she was waiting behind she gave the signal to the sound operator, then her entrance theme began and she stepped on the ramp. She was wearing one of her secondary attires, a red outfit that exolted her ample breasts and her firm stomach and some spandex-like stockings that highlighted her long legs. It fitted her like a glove and she felt confident and reassured in that piece of attire. She catwalked confidently to the ring as the crowd looked surprised at first that someone they didn’t know accepted their loved Dragon’s challenge.

When she was closer to the ring Arjuna got a mic from a commentator that was dazed at the ebony beauty that just appeared in front of him. Her “Thank you.” adorned with a soft, elegant smile made the man melt, but Arjuna was just stepping inside the ring. She made through the ropes in a motion that highlighted her well toned legs and then stood in the ring, close enough to Astrid so everyone could have a good look at that new challenger.

“What a wonderful display, Dragon.”, Arjuna stated unironically while making a soft clap for the blonde. “The looks, the staging, the challenge… Everything looked perfect and I think everyone in here should congratulate you for that, right?” The crowd reacted at her words by roaring and clapping at Astrid once more, but this also served Arjuna to get some points in front of everyone.

“I have to admit that when I got a scoop that someone big was going to issue a challenge I didn’t take that info seriously. I thought some pushover wanted some attention, but now I see I was mistaken. That is why I stepped forward.” She made a dramatic pause so the crowd mumbled about her, still unsure of what her intentions were. “I stepped forward because you, Dragon, captivated me in the same way you did to this crowd, and some fire awakened in me. You claim that you want to test your limits and those are some words I could live by myself, so I challenge you. Let us face each other in combat and determine who is stronger!” After she lowered the mic the crowd exploded in an enthusiastic round of applause. Of course Arjuna was still behind Astrid in fan numbers, but that small promo just gave her some new supporters just as she wanted. She looked at her rival directly in the eye, waiting for a retort coming from the Dragon as the public went silent so the blonde could speak.

Arjuna grinned at her rival as she used those first moments to evaluate Astrid’s character. It was obvious that the blonde woman wanted something like that to happen so the Norwegian had everything planned so the events unfolded the way they happened. Astrid knew that she had some love coming from the crowds so anyone challenging her just at the moment she was getting the respect of the crowd would be seen not only as a challenge to a match, but as a challenge for the public’s love.

That was exactly what the Indian wanted. It was actually a dangerous bold strategy, but Arjuna wanted to act daring. The people on the stands and paying to see a show liked brave and daring wrestlers, and being as new as she was seeing this woman that hasn’t been in many matches stand up to a challenge of that category was going to attract some attention. There was some to lose, of course, but Arjuna had also a lot to win. This was a statement, her way of saying that a new girl just arrived to town.

But Astrid wasn’t going to be scared easily. Far from that, the blonde retorted in the simplest of ways. If Arjuna had shown some of her speech skills and used them to get the crowd’s attention the Golden Dragon used that to make her look like she was all bark and no bite. It was true that the Indian babe had found a way to talk her way into that match, but in the end only fighting she could settle things and show what she was made of. The public roared in approval at Astrid’s statement.

Arjuna couldn’t look like it but she was a quite proud person and it was relatively easy to get on her bad side. When someone did Arjuna’s response would be getting sassy at her oponent, and that encounter was just a duel of peacocks flaunting their feathers at each others. But as facts remained: at that moment Astrid had bigger and brighter feathers, and the Indian didn’t like that.

“Hmph!” Arjuna pouted as she felt slightly ridiculed by her rival’s comment and by how she returned the mic signaling that the conversation was over. But she would have the last word. “You look strong, but let’s see who talks that big when we are done with our match. But you don’t want to talk, you want to fight so...”Arjuna returned the microphone as well and made a challenging gesture at Astrid, telling her to come at the Indian whenever she wanted.
