>Hell in a Cell submission match. Yes, I know.>You know, it's funny. What she spoke of me was somewhat correct.>I, probably more than any woman in the WWA, have had nothing but good fortune.>I allied with the face of the league. I waltzed into title shots that, realistically, I didn't deserve. I met face to face with some of the most wicked in this entire corporation and lived to tell the tale. Even now, I've bonded with the tag team champions.>EVEN NOW, Raquel Durango has more to lose than I do. "Never pinned, never submitted," as she says.>Despite tasting failure in the ring more than most, I truly am blessed. And I thank the kami every day for it.>So...why is it that I've failed?>Is it the curse of the WWA, Shogun Aina, receiving her comeuppance? Is it that I'm simply too weak to act upon my blessing?>...really, I don't 100% know the answer myself.>But what I DO know is that, while I don't want to walk this path alone, I do want it to end with glory.>I'm grateful that people, living and dead, have put their faith in me. I don't understand WHY they did, but I'm sick and tired of letting them down.>And I think...I think this is the way I start to carry those hopes with me. Especially Skelly Skelly.>By locking myself in a cell against a woman who has never lost, and only leaving once she's made me admit defeat, or I push her past her seemingly non-existent limit.>And contrary to her claims, while I'm doing it without my allies, I am not alone. As a matter of fact, this battle is something I must do myself.>I think me and Raquel Durango have both fought against insurmountable odds, in and out of this company. I really do. And I think that's exactly why I need to win this fight.>To prove that my good fortune was not squandered, and that I am not bad fortune incarnate.>To prove that I'm more than just a Stellar Star.(1/2)
