I had just finished stretching when my music hit. Rhea wished me luck and I walked out, timing my entrance somersault perfectly. I ran down to the ring and - as always - jumped up onto the apron. Hooking my right leg over the middle rope and anchoring my ankle under the bottom, I swing upside down throwing my arms out infront of me with my hands up in devil horns and sticking my tongue out. I caught sight of Gunner and waved at him as I made my way into the ring properly. 

I'm pacing around the ring waiting for Dana when her entrance music hits. She does her entrance and makes her way into the ring glaring at me. I just smirk at her and wait for the bell to ring. After a few moments, the ref signals for the bell and as soon as it's rung me and Dana locked up.

~~Pre-match game plan~~

Going into this match I had a game plan. I was going to let Dana Brooke think she has the upper hand all throughout and right as she thinks she's won, I'm going to turn the tide and steal the win from under her. I was going to put on one hell of a performance, considering Gunner was in the audience.

~~Back to the Match~~

Me and Dana had been going back and forth for about 5 minutes now when Dana "caught me off guard" and kneed me in the stomach causing me to bend forward. She grabbed the back of my neck and threw me into the turnbuckle. She proceeds to flip me round and speared me twice, causing half the crowd to chant for Dana and the other half chanted for me. I slide down to the mat holding my back, making it look like I was in pain. She pulls me up and set me up for a Samoan Driver, excuting it perfectly she pulls my legs up for the pin. The ref starts counting but just before they could reach 3, I kicked out leaving Dana in a state of shock.

That gave me the advantage.

I quickly stood up, made my way to the opposite turnbuckle and waited for her to stand. I charged at her and drop kicked her in the chest, causing her to fall back in to the turnbuckle and down on the mat. I swiftly dragged her into the middle of the ring and climb to the top rope, I stare straight at Gunner smirking and successfully excute a Jeff Hardy Swanton Bomb. I follow with a pin but she somehow kicks out so I line her up for my finisher.

The crowd starts chanting, "Hellfire Slam, Hellfire Slam, Hellfire Slam." so I give them what they want. I pull her up over my head and rotate on the spot before I stop and look at Gunner. I slam her down onto my knee and roll her up for the second time. I pay no attention to the ref or Dana or anything else, I just keep looking at Gunner, "1... 2... 3..." I hear from the crowd and the bell rings. I can't hear my music over the crowds roars but the ref helps me up and lifts my hand in the air. 

After a few moments of celebrating in the ring, I slide out and make my over to Gunner. He jumps the barricade and meets me halfway pulling me into a huge hug, lifting me up and spinning me around making me laugh. He puts me down and we walk up the ramp, me high-fiving fans on the way up. Once backstage I'm greeted by Rhea, Damian, Finn and Dominik congratulating me on my win. I wish Damian good luck with his match and told Rhea that me and Gunner would be back when I have changed and cleaned my face.

Gunner and I talked all the way back to my locker room. I got changed into one of my cropped Rhea Ripley tops, black sweatpants, my black vans and threw on my black hoodie before asking Gunner to put my gear into my bag whilst I take my make-up off. He agreed and once I was down I grabbed my purse, my phone and we headed back to the gorilla to watch the rest of Damians match.

A few minutes later, Damian won his match and The Judgement Day made their way backstage. I gave Damian a hug and congratulated him on his win. We talked for a few moments before they all headed back to their locker room to change, I told Demi I'd meet her at my car to which she nodded and walked away. Me and Gunner headed to my car talking and laughing, turns out Gunner was staying at the same hotel me and Demi were so I offered to drive him back with us instead of calling an Uber.

About 15 minutes later Demi walks over to us and I explain that Gunner is at the same hotel so he's be riding with us. She was okay with it so we packed up the car and drove back to the hotel.
