Fiona had been thinking something similar. The first two months of NMW had seen steady and significant growth in viewership and fans, and it was clear that the brand was off and running successfully. That was bound to entice new talent to want to sign, and it gave management greater resources to bring people in. So while Fiona was surging in popularity at the moment, it wouldn't be long before more competition arrived to try to muscle their way in and knock her down a peg.

"Most of my headaches are already here," she pointed out, thinking about the Beatifics, Ash, Shin, Tanya, all women that had fiercely opposed her and weren't about to stop now. "Maybe they go for one of the weirder ones from NMWW, Scato or Shadow Claw or someone they know won't align with us." She felt confident she could handle either of them given how much she'd improved, though.

"Honestly, I'm more worried they'll hire more of the old CSW roster, to give Raven some backup." With the men's title not going the way the Deguaras wanted, Fiona felt like they'd be eager to keep the women's title secure in the meantime. "She's terrifying on her own, but with a faction following her orders? It'd be hard to keep them from ruling the whole division."

Raven didn't seem like an easy woman to get along with, but her success was bound to make some leeches want to attach themselves to her for their own benefit. Cronies looking to advance their own careers by getting on her good side. That was the last thing Fiona wanted to deal with right now.
