These were the moments Fiona wrestled for, the reason she'd left other sports and other pursuits behind to become a professional wrestler. Ada Eberhard had pushed her to her limit, right to the edge of a defeat, but Fiona found a way to hang on, keep fighting, and pull off a fantastic victory. She didn't wrestle her best match, she made mistakes and paid the price for them, but even her opponent's dirty tactics weren't enough to keep her down.

She nearby stumbled when she first tried to stand, but found her footing and let the referee raise her hand in victory, her expression one of relief, gratitude, and straight up joy. She'd won a lot of fans tonight by showing her character; that rush of feeling their cheering wash over her made all the pain worth it, and guaranteed she'd keep coming back for more. This was only the beginning of her NMW journey, and she was [i]so[/i] relieved to have started it off on the right foot.

She headed to the corner turnbuckles to celebrate and let the fans get some better shots of her, feeling more energetic by the second. She'd be sore tomorrow, but that thought didn't even cross her mind. [i]I just won in Madison Square Garden. Gonna need a day or two for this to sink in.[/i]

She'd be on the radar now for a lot of people, fans and wrestlers alike. Every big win in wrestling came with its own set of new opportunities, as well as new consequences and challenges. [i]Bring it on, NMW.[/i]
