Tam Nakano

★ 16/9/2023 - EWA USA - Tam Nakano defeats Yuka Sakazaki
~ In her first match back, Tam Nakano took on the Magical Girl herself, Yuka Sakazaki. Both women gave it their all, but it was the Top Kawaii in the Cosmos who brought home the victory when all was said and done after a swift Violet Shoot left Yuka seeing stars. Another win in the books for EWA's shining star! ~

★ 7/10/2023 - EWA USA - Asuka offers Tam a chance
~ A couple of weeks later in an interview on EWA USA, Tam lets her thoughts on the EWA Women's Champion, Sasha Banks, become known, commending The Boss on her fighting spirit and unwavering valor. She insists that a match between herself and Sasha would be an honour, and should they ever get the opportunity to go head-to-head? It would be a match for the record books. Overhearing Tam, the Empress of Tomorrow interjects herself, assuring Tam that Sasha Banks isn't worthy of her praise before mocking the Top Kawaii in the Cosmos for her child-like appearance and quirks. Instead, she offers Tam the chance to join herself, Io Shirai and Kairi Sane on their quest to take over EWA's women's division, promising to turn her into a feared competitor and a dominant force within the wrestling world. ~

★ 21/10/2023 - EWA USA - Tam Nakano defeats Baby D
~ With Asuka's offer in mind, Tam went on to face Baby D on EWA USA, making easy work of the local superstar before finishing her off with the Violet Shoot. As Tam celebrated her victory however, Asuka, Io Shirai and Kairi Sane came waltzing out to the ring, demanding an answer. Tam maintained that, while thankful for the offer, she simply couldn't turn her back on the EWA Universe in the pursuit of glory. She had seen the awful things that Asuka and her entourage had done and refused to walk down the path of darkness. Naturally, the Empress of Tomorrow didn't take too kindly to the rejection and immediately attacked Nakano, blinding her with the Green Mist and only relenting once EWA security arrived on the scene. ~

★ 31/10/2023 - All Hallow's Evil - P-Chan goes missing
~ All Hallow's Evil had garnered a reputation befitting of its name throughout the years in EWA, and for the Top Kawaii in the Cosmos that reputation held true. What started off as an innocent apple-bobbing competition hosted by Tam and P-Chan quickly turned into a night of untold horrors when P-Chan mysteriously vanished seemingly into thin air. Tam spent the rest of the night searching for her beloved companion to no avail until a familiar face sprang into action. Flanked by Io Shirai and Kairi Sane once more, Asuka relished in Tam's panic, further mocking the Twilight Dream and the panda she had "misplaced". Tam accused Asuka of kidnapping P-Chan to which the latter vehemtly denied, warning Tam once more of the trouble her childish whims would land her in before making their exit. With a clenched fist, Tam swore to rescue her best-friend, no matter the cost. ~

★ 12/11/2023 - Sunday Night SLAM! - The search continues...
~ Though her search for P-Chan continued the following week, Tam was no closer to finding her companion, opting instead to hand out missing posters in hopes that someone might be lucky enough to happen across her friend. She soon caught the attention of backstage interviewer Byron Saxton who soon revealed Asuka's intentions of participating in the Queen of the Ring Tournament. Though the tournament was the last thing on Tam's mind at first, she figured that if P-Chan's kidnapper was at the tournament, then perhaos P-Chan would be too. She knew she had to compete, even if the chance of P-Chan being there was slim to none. ~

★ 18/11/2023 - EWA USA - Tam defeats Chelsea Green and Alexa Bliss
~ With renewed vigor, Tam participated in the first round of the Queen of the Ring tournament, taking on both Alexa Bliss and Chelsea Green in a Triple Threat match. A hellacious battle ensued between the three women, with each wrestler proving just how badly they needed to win. Each woman brought their own unique skills to the match. Tam demonstrated her technical prowess with lightning-fast strikes and expert grappling. Alexa relied on her cunning and mind games to outmaneuver her opponents and Chelsea Green brought her raw power and size advantage over her opponents, holding her own and refusing to back down in the face of overwhelming odds. As the match reached its climax however, it was Tam Nakano who prevailed in the end - her unyielding determination and relentless drive helping her secure the win when all was said and done. Unhappy with the result, Chelsea took it upon herself to attack Tam after the match, specifically targeting her arm in a sadistic attempt to injure the Twilight Dream. Though one step closer to a match against EWA Women's Champion Sasha Banks, P-Chan was still missing with no sign of him anywhere. Where could he be? ~

★ 26/11/2023 - King of the Ring - A dream is dashed
~ Finally, after months of blood, sweat and a whole lot of tears, Tam's hard work was seemingly beginning to pay off having made it to the Queen of the Ring tournament finals. She was scheduled to face off against Toni Storm - a woman Tam knew to be a fierce competitor and perhaps her toughest opponent to date. As she readied herself backstage, her mere presence soon captured the attention of Chelsea Green. Still bitter about the outcome of their match, Chelsea threatened to finish what she started the week prior, referencing Tam's visibly injured arm. The Top Kawaii in the Cosmos refuses to back down, maintaining that she isn't afraid of Chelsea Green and that she will go on to become the Queen of the Ring whether injured or otherwise. Before Tam could utter another word however, The Empress of Tomorrow came charging at the Twilight Dream from behind, unleashing strike after strike upon a defenseless Tam before sending the latter crashing through a nearby table! Bloodied and bruised, Tam was in no fit state to compete that night and was forcibly removed from the Queen of the Ring tournament finals. The news devestated her to the core. Now, not only was P-Chan taken from her, but a future title shot for the EWA Women's Championship was snatched from her grasp too. Chelsea Green took Tam's place in the tournament with Toni Storm proving to be victorious in the end, guaranteeing her a match against Sasha Banks at a later date. ~

★ 10/12/2023 - Sunday Night SLAM! - A wild P-Chan appears!
~ Taking much pride in the brutality she had inflicted upon Tam Nakano, Asuka addressed the EWA Universe, vowing to tear apart the very foundation that EWA had been built on and threatened to build it anew with her own brand of dominance, fueled by chaos and unquenchable power. As her speech continued however, the Empress of Tomorroww noticed a certain something hidden behind Kairi's back. P-Chan. Asuka demanded to know Kairi's reasonings for stealing the stupid toy, with Kairi insisting that it would be a great way to poke fun at Tam Nakano. Asuka tells her to dispose of the panda, however the appearance of P-Chan coaxes an injured Tam Nakano out from backstage! Keeping her distance at the head of the ramp, Tam let her feelings be known, condemning the trio for their sick part in the tortuous games they had been playing with her. She vowed to get her revenge, promising the three women that somehow, some way, she would take all of the hurt and pain they had inflicted upon her and reimburse it tenfold. In the midst of the back-and-forth, Kairi came up with an idea: a ladder match at SuperBrawl, with P-Chan hanging above the ring as the prize. Sickened by the idea of her best-friend being used as nothing more than a bargaining chip, Tam accepted Kairi's challenge, and warned Asuka that, when the time comes for them to go head-to-head? Tam will take something from her that can't be won back. Her pride. ~

★ 16/12/2023 - EWA USA - The match is made official.
~ With tensions between Asuka and Tam reaching boiling point, the pair reluctantly agree to meet with an EWA official to arrange their match at SuperBrawl. The temporary custody of P-Chan is handed over to the official as Tam and Asuka share a couple of heated words, each woman more determined than ever to embarrass the other at the final PPV of the year. With the date set and the match officialized, it was now or never. The biggest match of her EWA career was approaching. She knew what she had to do. ~

★ 24/12/2023 - Sunday Night SLAM! - Tam receives and early "present"
~ SuperBrawl was only one week away and the EWA Universe had become worried that Tam might not be cleared to compete following the attack at the hands of Asuka at King of the Ring. In the weeks that followed, Tam had appeared with her arm bandaged up and tonight was no different. Backstage interviewer Todd Grisham brought these worries up with Tam herself, with the latter confirming that, while she might not be 100% yet, she'll continue to work hard in the days leading up to her match, preparing herself for the final showdown with the Empress of Tomorrow. Finally, after months of abuse from Asuka, Kairi and Io, it would soon be time to take the fight to her tormentors and win back her beloved P-Chan all in the same night. It didn't take long before Io Shirai made her presence known however, informing Tam that Asuka felt she had perhaps let things get a little too heated and handed over an early Christmas present as reparation. Confused, Tam opened the present only to be horrified at its contents. Sitting there at the bottom of the box was what looked like the severed arm of a stuffed animal. Tam was expectedly horrified at the sight, assuming it to be an arm belonging to P-Chan before tossing the "present" to the ground. Thankfully, Todd assured Tam that the severed "arm" was nothing more than a discarded sock with some wool stuffed inside. The Top Kawawii in the Cosmos sobs - a culmination of all the suffering she had made to endure these past couple of months. This was the last straw. No more games. No more presents. It's time that the Empress is ejected from her throne. ~

★ 31/12/2023 - SuperBrawl XXIII - The Twilight Dream vs The Empress of Tomorrow
~ Tonight was the night. The night it had all come down to. With P-Chan hanging above the ring, Tam whispered a silent prayer to the divines above, begging them to watch over her as she stood face-to-face with her rival. What ensued was a vicious battle between two formidable athletes with months of unbridled tension boiling over into this final match. The pair brought everything to the table - every technique, every hold, every ounce of willpower - leaving nothing to chance as they pushed their bodies to unfathomable extremes. Kairi proved to be a nuisance for Tam throughout the majority of the match, with the Top Kawaii of the Cosmos finally having enough and drilling Kairi with a mean thrust kick, sending the latter crashing into the ladder and causing Asuka to fall to the canvas! Kairi and Asuka bicker back and forth briefly following the misstep - The Empress cursing out her minion in Japanese as the cracks in the foundation began to form. As the match reached its climax, Tam and Asuka found themselves slugging it out between the ladder, with Asuka managing to fend off the Twilight Dream long enough to scale the ladder with assistance from Kairi. As Asuka reached the top however, a sudden shift in sentiments struck Kairi like a bolt of lightning and before she knew it, she was shoving The Empress of Tomorro off of the ladder and out of the ring! With Asuka temporarily incapacitated, Tam wasted little time in climbing the steel ladder and reaching for P-Chan, pulling him down from the hook and winning the match! At long last, the best of friends were reunited once more. Tam hugged P-Chan into her chest as she let out sobs of relief, vowing never to let him leave her sight again. After months of torture at the hands of The Empress, Tam had finally exacted revenge. No longer would she be the happy-go-lucky little girl so easily passed off as nothing more than a nuisance. She proved to the entire EWA Universe exactly who she was that night and what she was capable of, emerging as a force to be reckoned with - a warrior with a heart of gold and fire in her eyes. ~
