With the door closing behind her still dressed in her blue abaya, Jana Rikar looks over and sees West McFadden standing beside of a vehicle. She runs over to him and kisses his cheek as he holds out her phone. She takes her phone and hands him her hijab.
The camera abrupt switches to show Jana on her phone.
Jana slides a hand over her shoulder and opens her abaya, revealing an ECWF T-shirt underneath.
Jana pulls off the remainder of her abaya and tosses it over her shoulder. West grabs it out of the air as she walks onward.
She gives a quick smile.
Jana raises an eyebrow and turns her head with a slight smirk.
Jana points down at her shirt and walks past a few people, who look at her strangely as she continues.
She stops, with a stoic West in the background behind her.
She throws up two fingers.
“Be right back.”
The camera abrupt switches to show Jana on her phone.
“I’m sure everyone’s a little surprised that I’m in the Wartime Rumble. But the bigger surprise is just about to be revealed.”
Jana slides a hand over her shoulder and opens her abaya, revealing an ECWF T-shirt underneath.
“Sorry to disappoint some of you but I’m not that kinda girl. But Ashton Rossi, I am the type of opponent you should worry about. It’s my first match in an ECWF ring and I wanted to make sure I knew what to expect at the Wartime Rumble… and Beyond.”
Jana pulls off the remainder of her abaya and tosses it over her shoulder. West grabs it out of the air as she walks onward.
“It’s my debut in ECWF, and yours as well, Ashton. Now I’m not sure what else you’ve done in the business, but you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t know what you were doing, because I’m sure you’re not gonna try the ‘My husband’s a wrestler, so I’m a wrestler too’ card. Even if you were just here because of him, that doesn’t mean a thing. You still gotta get in the ring. You still gotta run the ropes, work the holds, hit the moves and try your best.”
She gives a quick smile.
“That’s what people thought about me though. They took me at face value as opposed to delving into what really makes me tick and finding out a whole lot more. “She’s just here because her man is here.” That was 7 months ago. He’s not in my life now, but wrestling is, as are two championship victories. Somebody who takes that next step further going to see that Jana Rikar is actually a wrestling lifer.”
Jana raises an eyebrow and turns her head with a slight smirk.
“Yes, I may have only been in the business for 7 months, but I grew up in the business. My family is the business. People wanted to call me just a cheerleader. Well, this cheerleader has won a ladder match for a title and a Falls Count Anywhere match for another title as well. I've traveled the world around and now... I'm here in the ECWF.”
Jana points down at her shirt and walks past a few people, who look at her strangely as she continues.
“At first I thought it was just going to be for the Rumble. Then, as I looked at it more and more, i decided that I'm looking for another place… and another championship. Now to think that I’m just gonna waltz in here and win, that’s just silly. I'm going to make my mistakes. I'm going to fall. I'm going to lose. I'm going to get beat up. That’s just life.”
She stops, with a stoic West in the background behind her.
“And everybody thinks that this little girl who doesn't have any business being in the ring, and is going to get hurt because they think that’s all I am --- Well, that's gonna be their downfall. Just like it will be your downfall, Ashton. You're bigger. you're stronger you're faster. But in this case I might actually have a little bit of an edge since I've been in the rain for the last seven months non-stop, training, working, learning. I've even added a move since I started from 7 months ago. It's not much of one but it is enough and will be enough to take home my first victory in the ECWF.. So Ashton, as somebody told me “welcome to the big time” but don't take me lightly. Fourteen others have taken me lightly and only three didn't. Kind of odd how that turns into a 14 and 3 record... Also pretty simple. Because all it takes is 3 seconds. I just have to be better than you for 3 seconds, whether you Tapout or whether I pin you - 1 2-3 - is all it takes.”
“… Tick Tick Boom goes the Dynamite!”
She throws up two fingers.
“Be Well!”
