Katherine sat outside the meeting room as she eagerly anticipated the start of her meeting with Spencer Adams and the FightSmart brand representatives. Spencer had provided her with a basic outline of his vision for the brand and asked her to attend a meeting at the Ritz-Carlton today at 15:00.
Would Rhianna be here? She thought to herself, having seen the press release, understanding that the global star was involved with the brand. Katherine picked up her phone to quickly check her appearance using the camera; sheโd done a good job covering the bruises sustained during her title-winning performance at Uprising.
She then peered down at her bag; the Television Championship was inside, a smile formed on her face. Despite still being on a high from winning her first championship, she already had her first challenger on her mind - Hunter.
As much as the meeting excited Katherine; she was keen to return to Tap or Snap to resume her training. Hunter was a wily veteran; whose power game proved to be challenging during their previous encounter - which Katherine ultimately won.
As she caressed the leather strap with her hand; Katherine hypothesised that if he was truly a Hall of Fame member, heโd learn from his previous mistakes and come up with a better game plan. Oh, he can tryโฆ
Finally, the meeting room door opened and out stepped an excited Spencer Adams.
โSorry to have kept you waiting, Kat. Letโs have a chat, weโd love to have you come aboard,โ said Adams. โThereโs someone else here who is keen to meet youโ.
So, Hunter, I saved you a crumpet and a mug of tea.
You know, because the last time we played this game you did the whole British presumption thing. Maybe after dropping you on your head and beating you - perhaps humble pie is your favourite snack of choice?
It mustโve been humbling having this, in your own words, โmediocre talentโ, getting the better of you two weeks ago, and now I have a leg up as I begin putting together my own impressive legacy.
But Iโve spent enough time mulling over the things you said about me in the past, because well Hunter - things have escalated somewhat since we last danced together.
Two weeks ago, I was deep in the scrum of new talent here in Action Wrestling, clambering to stand out, to break away from the crowd.
Yes, beating an alleged Hall of Famer got me halfway there, but dethroning an Action Wrestling legend? Well now, I stand out from the crowd as the forty-second Television Champion in this great promotion's history.
How the hunter has suddenly become the hunted.
To many, that kind of pressure would be too much of a burden, and theyโd crack. A wrestler with your resume, you too must be starting to feel that pressure build. Youโve already lost two whole weeks after I beat you on Clash, can you afford to waste much more time playing second fiddle to The English Rose?
I saw you at Uprising, lurking in the shadows, taking it all in. It really must have pained you watching me become number forty-two, that couldโve been you after all.
When I spoke before my match with Hawkins; if I became champion, I vowed to respect all my opponents. Despite myself questioning your credentials - I do respect you.
I respect that as a veteran of this great sport, you will accept that Iโm not your average rookie, that Iโm an impressive talent - afterall, I heard those words leave your mouth during your interview with Jade.
I also anticipate you will learn from your mistakes, a simple power offence will not be enough to beat me.
However, this is whatโs going to happen now, my love.
So, Iโve just had a really productive business meeting with Spencer Adams and Rihanna of all people. They want me to be a focal point of their new sports brand, FightSmart.
Why? Because theyโve seen me perform in the ring, they know the passion I hold for this business therefore they feel Iโm someone worth backing.
I canโt imagine you were invited to joinโฆ
I think Iโm going to accept their offer, once Alan deals with all the legal stuff, and then Iโm going to go to my home-from-home - Tap or Snap.
Iโm going to train even harder than I did for Hawkins because I am acutely aware that there would be nothing worse than falling at the first hurdle, by losing my first defence.
Number forty-two is a fighting champion; I fear no one. I vowed I would respect all challengers, and I will show you that respect by preparing as hard as I possibly can in the gym ready for Monday night.
I desperately hope you take me seriously this time, Hunter. Perhaps you should avoid belittling me for my gender, nationality and age because in truth last Monday, you lost to the young, crumpet eating, tea drinking British girl. That doesnโt make you sound so tough now does it? Maybe we can retrospectively add that to your old Hall of Fame speech.
Better yet, for two matches in a row, the former multi-time champion and Hall of Fame member got defeated by the forty-second Television Champion - I like the sound of that much more.
Rihanna was so lovely, Katherine thought to herself as she sat outside the Ritz-Carlton, contemplating whether she would sign with FightSmart whilst awaiting her Uber. She thumbed through the documents within the expensive-looking binder provided; a PDF version had already been sent to Alan, her fatherโs solicitor.
Then she closed the folder and continued to focus on Hunter, knowing the hard work as champion had only just begun, and it would all mean nothing if she fell at the first hurdle. He will not take this from me.
As her Uber arrived, Katherine received a text message which she opened as she climbed into the back of the car.
