Just before the match

In her office, Tanya was talking to one of her "inner circle". This time, it was her personal scientist, Elizabeth.

"Ms. McVan, I have to ask. What if Alessandra isn't bluffing?"

Tanya rubbed one foot up and down her leg. "I've dealt with the mob before, though I'd hoped I was done with it. Suffice it to say, having her waltz into my office and demand seven trillion dollars isn't their usual MO. No, I think I know what the deal with Ales is."

"Oh?"

"I think Ales is either the girlfriend or concubine of one of the Don's nephews. She's a member of the Family, but not as high ranking as she'd like to be, so she decided to try and bluff me and raise her standings. Of course, it didn't work."

Elizabeth took off her glasses and began to polish them. She always had to be done something while she was thinking.

"So, wouldn't it be a bad idea to antagonize someone so close to the upper levels of the Family?"

"I think..." Tanya said, "that she might have been set up. Convinced I was a softer target than I am. I do believe that the mob would be appreciative of me putting her through the wringer enough to **** some humility down her throat."

"But if they'll really be angry with her..."

"And that's why I booked her to fight Cammy instead of, oh, Rochell, or Casey, or one of my big draws."

"Of course." Tanya didn't expect Elizabeth to be bothered by this heartlessness, and she wasn't. "What rules will they be fighting under?"

Tanya smiled. "A 20 minute Ironwoman match. Submissions and Orgasms both count. If Cammy wins by 5 or more, she gets a Midcard Title shot. If she should win by 15 or more, she can have a shot at the Womens Title. As for Ales, she knows her performance here will influence what she ends up making per match."
