CH 022: Forfeiting the match

Tasha could see Ajax inching his way toward the ring, and with each step, her confusion deepened. She couldn't understand why he was here. He was still injured, his head wrapped in bandages, his movements sluggish and cautious.

She had assumed he'd be resting, recovering from the brutal defeat he had suffered at Dave's hands. But instead of resting, Ajax was walking toward the ring, determination etched on his face. Why? What was he thinking?

As Ajax got closer to the ring, Tasha's concern grew stronger. He was clearly still in pain, his injuries far from healed. She wanted to rush to him, but for some reason, she stayed in her spot, confused and slightly worried. 

Finally, Ajax reached the ring. The referees, seeing the state he was in, helped him climb into the ring, supporting him as best as they could. Ajax immediately raised a hand, signaling that he had something to say, which only added to Tasha's mounting anxiety.
