THEME SONG: “Strength of a Thousand Men [Instrumental Core Remix]” by Two Steps From Hell
ENTRANCE: “Strength of a Thousand Men [Instrumental Core Remix]” by Two Steps From Hell hits as a blinding light appears coming from the entrance. The silhouette of a tall, female figure stands at the top of the ramp. When the blinding lights go out, there stands Gaia Galanos with a towel over her head. Many in the crowd cheer, thanks to her highly successful career as an MMA fighter in GCC. There is a noticeable section of people booing her though as well making their own presence known. As she begins walking to the ring, an entourage of her corner people surround her and escort her to the ring. Upon her approach of the ring, she stops as each person of her corner wish her a good fight and embrace her. One places a mouthguard in her mouth before she kicks off her Adidas sandals, removes her sweats, and her TundraMMA t-shirt. After the referee checks her for any foreign objects and ensures she has her mouthguard, she enters the ring. Gaia takes a moment to move around the ring, taking in the atmosphere.

WRESTLING STYLE: Gaia likes to isolate limbs to submit her opponent via her two main submissions, the Cross Armbar and the Ankle Lock. She also tends to work on the neck as well in case an opportunity to hit her opponent with the Brainbuster arises.

TRADEMARKS: [Try to cap it at 15; you can go over, but let's not get too carried away.]
GALANOS CLUTCH. Regal Stretch
LEG-TRAP GERMAN SUPLEX. Executed if her opponent doesn’t tap to the Ankle Lock; Gaia pulls them into a German Suplex with their leg trapped against her body.
HEAD KICK TO TRAPPING GERMAN SUPLEX. Catches her opponent with a hard Head Kick which causes her opponent to turn perfectly for her to trap her opponent’s arms and execute the Trapping German.
DIVING MOONSAULT. On rare occasions, Gaia may execute a high flying Moonsault from the top rope.
CAPTURE SUPLEX. A specialized Exploder Suplex executed with the opponent’s leg trapped in the T-Bone-style clutch.
TRAPPING GERMAN SUPLEX. German Suplex executed with the opponent’s arms trapped within the body lock making it harder for them to kick out of the hold.
TIGER SUPLEX. Hold or release.

THE SEISMÓS KNEE. Gaia hits her opponent with a vicious knee strike usually to the chin or the head.
CROSS ARMBAR. Gaia usually grounds her opponent with a takedown followed by some ground and pound to set her opponent up for this painful armbar. She is just as dangerous with this submission though when she’s on the defensive.
BRAINBUSTER. Gaia has one of the most damaging Brainbusters in the business making it a perfect fit for a finisher.
ANKLE LOCK. Exactly what it sounds like, an ankle lock.

BRIEF HISTORY: Over the past few years, Gaia Galanos has been very focused on her MMA career. She has racked up a 7-3 record in Global Combat Championships, including a featherweight title reign. She’s one of the most popular and highest paid fighters in the league. Prior to her switch over to MMA, Galanos had a very successful wrestling career where she was known for knocking off a year long reign with the Girl Power Wrestling World Title by Jo McFarlane while simultaneously holding United Wrestling League’s Queen of Wrestling Championship (the league of which GPW was a member).

After the closure of GPW, she spent her time in the wrestling world as a journey-woman, traveling around wrestling matches while making a bigger name for herself. She would eventually go on to win the World Crown Championship before the opening of United Kingdom Wrestling Federation.

In UKWF, Gaia teamed up with Night Train Ayano to collect the UKWF Tag Team Championships. In singles, she was very dominant, going undefeated in the company despite never getting a shot at the United Kingdom Championship. When UKWF had to close its doors, Galanos was undoubtedly on an inevitable course for a title match.

The closure of UKWF lead to some decision-making for Gaia Galanos. She had always wanted to enter the octagon to fight in MMA so she pulled the trigger. Gaia Galanos signed with Global Combat Championships. After a recent loss to Misty DeMeans—the current GCC featherweight champion—Gaia finds herself still hunting for her second featherweight championship. The loss hasn’t deterred her, however. Instead, it has only motivated her to get better. As a member and coach of TundraMMA, she definitely has the resources to facilitate that as she continues her hunt.
