“Was is really [i]that[/i] obvious?” Kendra asked with a low chuckle. 

“Actually… don’t answer that,” she said quickly, “Me getting the attention of the ref at just the right time allowing Choi Minji to take out her partner… Like, no way it was a coincidence, right?”

Kendra scraped her shoes against the concrete floor, eyes downcast for a moment before she looked back up at Fiona.

“Minji DM’d me just before the show and said she wanted to talk with me backstage. Naturally, I was hesitant at first but she insisted it ‘wasn’t what I might think’. So, I took the risk and met her. And we had a [i]long[/i] talk. The short of it is that Choi Minji wasn’t happy about Shin signing on with NMW and breaking up their tag team. So, she decided to sabotage Shin Choon-hee’s debut match and championship run as a parting middle finger to her now-former partner. She suggested that I distract the official at just the right time so she could make a move to ruin the match for Shin. And I agreed.”

Kendra paused, letting Fiona soak in what she had revealed then adding, “Before you yell at me I just want you to know that originally I hadn’t planned on interfering in your match. But I saw Minji’s offer as just… too good of an opportunity to pass up. And I mean… think about this; Choi Minji was going to betray Shin anyway. Why not play it to your advantage?”

Kendra stiffened up slighty as she finished, clearly expecting a tongue lashing from her partner.
