❝ Jordan, this is my boyfriend, Johnny Gargano. ❞
-
Jordan was backstage, stretching.
Tonight, she was wrestling for Pro Wrestling Guerilla. This would be her first time wrestling for a promotion other than Shimmer, and while she wouldn't call herself nervous, she hadn't actually talked to anybody since she had gotten there.
When she heard noise, she brought her head up, blowing her bangs out of her eyes. A tag team match had just ended, and a flood of people were now making their way backstage.
Content that no one seemed to be approaching her, Jordan brought her head back down and continued stretching.
"Hey."
She would've ignored the voice if she hadn't heard footsteps coming toward her. She looked up to see a blonde girl walking over. She was one of the people who had just come backstage, and she was still trying to catch her breath. Jordan stood up.
"Hi?" Jordan said, although it came out sounding like a question. When she had yelled "hey" at her, she wasn't sure if it was a greeting or if she was simply trying to get her attention.
"You've wrestled in Shimmer, right?" She smiled.
"Tonight is my first time not wrestling for Shimmer," She told her, laughing a little. "I'm Jordan. Jordan Lee."
"Candice LeRae," She introduced herself. "So, this is your first time wrestling a guy then, huh?"
Jordan shrugged. "Technically."
"Well, I'm sure you'll do great," Candice said, smiling. "I just wanted to come over and introduce myself because I haven't actually seen you talk to anyone since I've gotten here. I need to go find my boyfriend – I'm not sure where he's hiding – but hopefully I'll see you around!"
Jordan said goodbye as Candice walked away.
While Jordan had been trained by a guy – Claudio still checked up on her every now and then – she'd never had an official match with a guy before. Shimmer was an all-female wrestling promotion, so she'd only ever wrestled other women.
She would be wrestling Rich Swann, who she had met before this event. He was pretty nice, and she had seen him wrestle before, so she had no worries.
A match had just started, and she knew that she would be performing next. She stretched for a few more minutes before she was finally ready.
The match ended, and after a few minutes, Rich Swann walked out.
