RINGSIDE INFORMATION
Theme Music: ‘Mark My Words’ by Doll Skin
Special Entrance:
Lights cut out and smoke fills the stage as “Mark My Words” by Doll Skin begins to play to cheers from the crowd. Then we see Raven Roberts walk out with a pair of large black wings on her back. She throws her arms out and poses for the fans.
“I was born into this,
Won’t hesitate to use my fists,
Break the cuffs around my wrists,
Again...”
Raven then goes to walk down the ramp, eyes fixed on the ring. She makes her way down and Walks up the ring steps.
“I’ve been waiting here for months
To get the nerve to give you what
You deserve for what you’ve done,
Again...”
She climbs up the corner turnbuckle from the outside and throws her arms out to the sides, posing at the top as the crowd cheers.
”I always get my revenge,
I’ll come out on top... in the end
MARK MY WORDS”
She unlatches her wings and they fall to the ground as she looks out over the crowd once more. She jumps down from the turnbuckle and goes to stand on the second rope for the hard cam before hopping down and walking to her corner.

BIOGRAPHY
Raven grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. Her mother believed in classic southern elegance and entered Raven and her sisters in beauty pageants regularly. Raven found herself an outcast most times, mocked by the other girls before shutting herself out. This would lead to regular beatings from her mother. She discovered wrestling at 16 with her high school sweetheart who was killed only a year later. She decided to live out this dream and pursue wrestling as a career. When she turned 18, she gathered everything she had in a backpack and ran away. She took busses to Las Vegas where she met her wrestling idol, Vivian Marshall, and her future mentor and friend, Shayna Jackson. Raven didn’t have a natural gift in the ring, but she never gave up. She practiced every technique hundreds and thousands of times, taking her losses as lessons across the independents before finding her stride as a competitor and making something of a name for herself. In March of 2018, Raven got her first major contract with REVOLT! Pro Combat, which quickly merged with her current promotion, Elite Answers Wrestling.
