Not every reaction to DRC’s first-night announcement was measured. Kaishi Tatami, DRC’s high-flying showcase talent, posted a short video within minutes of the news going out — mid-jump, mid-laugh, barely able to get a full sentence out before cutting to the next shot.

“Twenty of us, one night, everybody watching — this is exactly why I signed,” she said, still catching her breath. “I don’t care who’s across from me on July 31st. I care that it’s finally happening.”

It’s the kind of energy DRC’s locker room has needed since the roster came together — official confirmation that at least one competitor is treating the wait as over, not just shorter.
