Kendra blinked, her eyes at first moving down to the tile floor and then back up to Gordon’s round mug. “A… promo and an introduction, Mister McKinney?” Kendra asked.

“Yes! Just think for a moment,” Gordon said excitedly, reaching his arms out and pulling both women against him, his sweaty palms on their shoulders, “Fiona Chevalier, just off her unexpected win over The Neon Diva, arrives in Los Angeles, California to declare herself and her intentions to the NMW [i]fanverse[/i] and then polishes off a fine performance on the mic by introducing Kendra Snipes and letting everyone know that Defiant Dream is [i]back[/i]. Which Kendra then accents with a win over a choice opponent!”

He turned his head to Fiona and asked with a twitch of his right eye, [i]“It sounds too good to even think about refusing, right?”[/i]
