It was a few days before the coming Full Throttle show. The sounds of Coheed & Cambria’s “Ten Speed” hits the arena as through the curtains steps the current Rose Champion herself. The” Iron Rose” Sarah Andrews-Cross, title held high as the radiant smile shines for all to see. The crowd immediately reacts in an enormous uproar seeing the newly crowned champion, as she stands one hand holding the strap for all to see high above her head, her opposite hand raised as well, fist clenched signaling just how happy she was at this moment to have finally accomplished her life long dream. After soaking in the appreciation given by the fans here on this night for a few moments, she readily begins her way towards the ring area, the title thrown over her shoulder as she steps in a high speed walk, both arms extended as always for her favorite part of all of this. Interaction with the fans. The smile on her face grows every second of the way, almost having to suppress the laughter growing inside of her.
Within moments she had arrived at the ring, making haste climbing the ring steps, entering the ring just as the crowd’s vocal eruptions become even louder. The look on her face was priceless. This was the exact moment she had wished for and waited for her entire life. To be in front of the greatest fans on the planet, holding the top women’s title of the industry and sport she loved so much. She quickly makes her way to the opposite side of the ring, climbing the turnbuckle in seconds, as once again she hoists the belt above her head one more time, smiling out into the sea of the APW faithful. Yet this time she doesn’t take as much time interacting with the fans as usual. There was news to be delivered to the challenger for her Rose title this week. So slowly descending from the turnbuckle, she receives a microphone from ring side, and slowly turns, the smile still on her face making her way towards the center of the ring. Shifting the title from one shoulder to the other, she raises the microphone just as the music begins to die down in audible level, and speaks…
“Well you all saw last weeks Rose title match up and…”
The crowd erupting into cheers again, screaming the given monikers of both women who partook in the bout in question. Sarah lightly nods her head before glaring out over the sea of people once more, then continues on…
“I know, I know…Quite the contest it was. I mean who would have thought that Jenn would choose a match type that goes hand in hand with my nickname itself? Definitely not something I expected. She really proved that she without a doubt knows what this is all about. Entertaining you all by any means necessary. She did the unthinkable. Putting the “advantage” in the hands of the challenger. Now…We all know the rematch is this week at Full Throttle, and I’ve been hearing the questions of course. What match is it gonna be Sarah? What are you gonna do to counter act her chosen match type? How are you doing to top what Jenn did by putting herself out there like she did?”
She pauses, lightly flipping a bit of her hair out of her vision before going on…
“I’ll tell you what I’m going to do. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.”
Instantly the crowd gets a confused look on their faces, the cheers almost hushed completely before she chimes in again with…
“Don’t get me wrong. I commend Jenn for doing what she did. Without a doubt it took guts to do it. But what am I going to do for an encore? Hm? Jennifer is a competitor through and through. Doesn’t matter WHAT match type I choose really when you think about it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have something in mind for my first title defense. Not at all. I’m going with something that I know we both are pretty balanced in for the most part. Something we both could POSSIBLY win in. 15 Minutes Jennifer. You and Me. Ultimate…Submission. Something we both are well versed in to at least give these fans a show before I RETAIN my title…And go on to Game Over the reigning…APW…Rose…Champion.”
Once again “Ten Speed” hits the arena again, as Sarah raises the title above her head once again to the fans cheers hearing the small announcement. A few more moments of showing off the title, and Sarah had found herself at the ring steps again, making her way back down to the arena floor. Within moments of exiting the ring she began her way back up the ramp, smile on her face showing the confidence she had in her thoughts about the coming rematch at Full Throttle. Now it was time to prepare for what was to come.
