Same night...
The arena of underground wrestling thrummed with enmity and excitement, its dim lighting casting long shadows over the spectators who gathered in anticipation of the night's brutal contests.
The air was thick with the scent of sweat and adrenaline, a palpable tension gripping the crowd as they waited for the fights to begin.
Ivan, Alexei, and Nikolas made their way towards the ring, cutting through the throngs of spectators.
As they entered, loud cheers erupted from the audience.
Alexei and Nikolas were legends in these underground battles, their reputations forged in blood and violence.
Ivan, on the other hand, was not as popular. He kept himself out of fights, his prowess in combat a well-guarded secret.
Alexei had a formidable presence as he stepped into the ring first. His opponent, a muscular brute named "Crusher," awaited him, the sneer on his face betraying his confidence.
