"Sandro," she began, her voice steady but emotional. "I think I speak for all the women here when I say thank you. What you've done… it means the world to us. We've all been working so hard, and to know that someone believes in us enough to put their own money on the line… that's something special. I can't speak for everyone, but I don't see this as you trying to buy anything. I see it as you standing up for something you believe in, and that takes guts."
Nicole and Brianna joined April at the front of the group, their faces reflecting a mix of gratitude and admiration. Nicole was the first to speak, her voice filled with emotion. "Sandro, what you've done is something truly incredible. We've always known how much you love this business, and the fact that you'd go so far to support us means more than words can express."
Brianna nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with appreciation. "We know who you are, Sandro. You're not the kind of person who'd try to buy your way to the top. You've always been about the love of the sport and the people in it. What you've done for us, for the women's division, it's beyond anything we could have hoped for."
April, still standing close to Sandro, added, "We're lucky to have you in our corner. This isn't just about the money; it's about believing in us when so many others wouldn't. You've shown that you're willing to fight for us, and that's something none of us will ever forget."
As Sandro took in their words, he could see the sincerity in their eyes, and it touched him deeply. But before he could respond, the rest of his friends, Nick, Kofi, Drew, Sheamus, and Stu, all stepped forward, each of them eager to show their appreciation.
"You've earned our respect, Sandro," Nick said, his voice full of admiration. "What you've done takes a lot of guts. You put yourself out there, not just for your own benefit, but for the benefit of others. That's something special, man."
Kofi was next, his voice full of pride. "You've always been a stand-up guy, Sandro. We all knew you had a big heart, but this… this is on another level. You've done something amazing here, and we're all proud to call you our friend."
Drew nodded in agreement, his usually stoic expression softening. "Respect, mate. You've shown us all what it means to care about this business. You're not just in it for yourself you're in it for all of us here."
Sheamus, always straightforward, added with a grin, "You've got balls, fella. Big ones. And you've proven that you're willing to put those balls on the line for what you believe in. That's something we all can admire."
Stu, the last to speak, looked at Sandro with a seriousness that underscored his words. "You've done something that few would have the courage to do, lad. You put your money, your reputation, everything on the line for something you believe in. That's what makes you a true friend and a true champion, no matter what happens in the ring."
Sandro was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from his friends. He had always believed in the importance of honesty and integrity, and hearing his friends express their trust in him was incredibly moving. He took a moment to gather his thoughts, his heart full of gratitude.
"Thank you," Sandro said, his voice thick with emotion. "Thank you all for trusting me, for believing in me. I promise I'll never hide anything from you again. We're in this together, and I'll always be upfront with you, no matter what."
A collective smile spread across the faces of his friends, and Sandro felt a deep sense of connection with each of them. He knew that this moment was something special, something that would strengthen their bond going forward.
As the mood in the room lightened, Sandro turned the conversation to the future. "Now, let me tell you all about the plan we've come up with for the Divas Championship. Next week, we're going to announce the title with a big event, a battle royal, and an eight-woman tournament to crown the inaugural champion."
The announcement was met with a wave of excitement, especially from April, Nicole, and Brianna. "That's amazing!" Nicole exclaimed. "Do you know who's going to be in the tournament? Who's going to win the title?"
Brianna chimed in, her enthusiasm was palpable. "Yeah, come on, Sandro! You've got to have some inside info. Who's going to be in the battle royale? Do you have any idea who's going to win?"
Sandro couldn't help but smile at their eagerness. "Slow down, slow down," he said with a chuckle. "I wish I could tell you, but I don't actually know who's going to be in the matches or who's going to win. I only suggested the match types and how to promote them so that the fans will tune in next week."
There was a brief moment of disappointment on their faces, but it was quickly replaced by determination. "Well, if we don't know who's going to be in it, we'll just have to make sure we're ready," April said, her voice full of resolve. "We're going to train harder than ever and make sure we're in that tournament."
Nicole and Brianna nodded in agreement. "We're going to give it everything we've got," Nicole added. "This is our chance to prove ourselves, and we're not going to let it slip away."
After thanking Sandro and the others, the three women headed off to begin their training, determined to earn their spot in the tournament. As they left, Sandro watched them go, feeling a swell of pride in his friends. He knew they had the talent and the drive to succeed, and he couldn't wait to see what they would accomplish.
Over the next few days, the atmosphere in FCW was electric. Word had spread quickly about the upcoming women's championship, and the anticipation was building. After returning from Stamford, Dusty and Steve worked tirelessly to finalize the details of the tournament, ensuring that everything would be perfect for the big announcement.
Sandro, meanwhile, continued to focus on his training and his matches, knowing that he needed to stay in peak condition if he was going to continue his winning streak. But even as he pushed himself in the gym and in the ring, his thoughts often drifted to the women's championship. He was excited to see how the fans would react, and he was hopeful that this would be the start of something truly special for the women of FCW.
As the day of the big announcement approached, Dusty and Steve began subtly teasing the women's championship on FCW programming and house shows.
They dropped hints about the upcoming event, suggesting that something big was on the horizon. The fans quickly picked up on these hints, and speculation started running wild on wrestling forums and within the Florida wrestling community.
In the days leading up to the announcement, Dusty and Steve had informed the women's division about the tournament and battle royal. Every female wrestler in FCW would have a chance to enter the battle royal, but only a select few would compete in the tournament.
The eight women chosen for the tournament were Angela, Nicole Bella, Brianna Bella, Maryse, Natalya, Alicia Fox, Rosa Mendes, and Tiffany.
When April's name wasn't announced as part of the tournament, she tried to hide her disappointment, but Sandro and the others quickly noticed. They gathered around her, offering words of comfort and encouragement.
"You've got nothing to worry about," Sandro said, his voice full of support. "You're an incredible wrestler, and you're going to prove it in that battle royal."
April smiled, appreciating the support of her friends, but what none of them knew was that Dusty and Steve had approached her personally before the announcement.
They had told her that she would win the battle royal, but it had to be kept a secret. Even more surprising, they had planned for her to enter at number one, ensuring that her victory would be an impressive one.
With this knowledge in the back of her mind, April kept her composure and focused on her training. She knew that she had a huge opportunity ahead of her, and she was determined to make the most of it.
On the night of the big announcement, the FCW arena and live television were packed with fans eager to see what was in store.
The show started like any other, with matches that showcased the talent within the promotion. Sandro had a match against Joe Hennig, a hard-fought contest that ended with Sandro picking up the win after hitting Joe with his finger The Dragon's shit ended their 10 minute match.
After Sandro's match, Dusty and Steve took to the ring, with the microphone in Dusty's hand while Steve had brought the Divas Championship that was hidden under a dark cloth. The crowd erupted in cheers, showing their love and respect for the two legendary figures.
Dusty let the noise die down before he began speaking."Ladies and gentlemen," Dusty began, his voice filled with emotion. "Tonight, we're not just here to witness great wrestling. Tonight, we're here to make history."
The crowd quieted down, hanging on Dusty's every word."For too long," Dusty continued, "the women of FCW have been overlooked. They've been working just as hard as the men, putting their bodies on the line, night after night, and it's high time they got the recognition they deserve."
The crowd began to murmur, realizing where this was heading."Tonight," Dusty said, his voice rising with excitement, "I'm proud to announce the creation of the FCW Divas Championship!"
The arena erupted in cheers as Steve revealed the new FCW Divas Championship belt, a beautiful title that represented a new era for women's wrestling in FCW. The fans were on their feet as they heard the news and saw the championship. The reaction was everything Dusty had hoped for, and more.
Dusty held up a hand to quiet the crowd. "But that's not all. We're not just handing this title to anyone. Starting after this, we're going to have a full battle royale of the FCW women's division tonight and start next week an eight-woman tournament that will determine the first inaugural FCW Divas Champion!"
The energy in the FCW arena was electric as the announcement of the FCW Divas Championship Battle Royal and eight woman tournament next week sent waves of excitement through the crowd.
This was a historic moment, and the fans knew it. The introduction of the Diva's championship marked a new era for the FCW women's division, and the anticipation was palpable.
As Dusty and Steve left the ring, the championship belt glistened under the bright lights, symbolizing the beginning of a fierce competition. The title was prominently displayed at ringside, a tantalizing prize for the women who would soon battle it out.
The ring announcer took center stage, his voice booming through the arena, "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is the FCW Divas Championship Battle Royal! The winner of this match will advance directly to the finals of the tournament, where she will face the two women who qualify through the upcoming eight-woman tournament in a triple threat match!"
The crowd erupted in cheers, fully aware of the implications of this match. The woman who won tonight would have a significant advantage, earning her spot in the finals and a much-needed break while her future opponents fought their way through the grueling tournament.
Just as the crowd's excitement reached a fever pitch, April's entrance music blared through the speakers. The arena exploded with cheers as April, one of the top babyfaces in the women's division, made her way to the ring. Her charisma and connection with the fans were undeniable. She high-fived fans along the ramp, a beaming smile on her face, but there was also a determination in her eyes. She knew how important this match was, and she was ready to give it everything she had.
As April entered the ring, she took a moment to soak in the atmosphere. The crowd chanted her name, and she nodded in appreciation, knowing that their support would fuel her throughout the match. But she was also aware that this battle royal would be one of the toughest challenges of her career. Ten women would enter, but only one would emerge victorious, securing her place in the championship finals.
Suddenly, Alicia Fox's music hit, and the mood in the arena shifted. The crowd's cheers turned to boos as the cunning heel made her entrance. Alicia reveled in the negative reaction, taunting the fans as she strutted down the ramp. Her confidence was unmistakable, and she was determined to make her mark in this match.
As Alicia entered the ring, she locked eyes with April, and the tension was immediate. The two women had a long history of animosity, and this battle royal was the perfect stage for their rivalry to reach new heights.
The bell rang, and the match was officially underway. April and Alicia wasted no time, immediately engaging in a fierce exchange of blows. The crowd was on the edge of their seats as they watched the two women go back and forth, neither willing to give an inch. Every punch, and every slam was met with a roar from the crowd, and the intensity of the match was evident from the start.
April, known for her resilience and technical prowess, managed to get the upper hand, whipping Alicia into the ropes and hitting her with a dropkick that sent her crashing to the mat. But Alicia was quick to recover, using her agility to dodge April's follow-up attack and counter with a stiff kick to the midsection. The battle between them was relentless, with each woman trying to throw the other over the top rope, but neither could quite gain the advantage.
