{A black screen. After some time, We get the usual intro, then we get more LAW event highlights, and then Gabby Camacho, Mackenzie Roberts, The Naughty Girls, and Chacalita holding up their respective titles. We cut from that to a live wide shot of the audience as they cheer wildly as "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera playings We go to Troy and Duke, already sitting down.}
{"Frontline" by Pillar begins and the fans jump to their feet as soon LAW Champion Gabby Camacho soon parts the curtain with the smile on her face and the LAW title over her shoulder. She calmly walks down the aisle and gets into the ring soon takes the mic}
Gabby: Que pasa San Antonio!
{Cheers.}
Gabby: I come to you tonight, and I fully realize that I'm am not invincible. I lost last month to Chacalita and I've just been shaking my head over it ever since. But I know a true champion, must recover from loss. So, I'm standing right here, to talk to the next in line for my LAW title. Keira Fisher
{Cheers for Keira.}
Gabby: Keira, I told you to handle your business, and you did. You want a shot at this, you got it. I know Megan already confirmed it, but I wanted you to hear it from my mouth. I'm ready for this fight at Queen of the Ring. And if you want this championship, you'd better be prepared to for the fight of your life.
{Cheers as, "The Phoenix hits and Keira soon walks out, a determined look on her face as she basically powerwalks to the ring. She soon takes the microphone as her music dies out.}
Keira: Gabby, I've waited for YEARS for this moment. I wanted this shot for a long time. *Keira sighs a bit as she says* Keira: I'm going to give you everything I got. All I ask from you is this. Do NOT hold back. I'm your friend. I understand. But, I do not want you to hold back on me. If you do, then I will be mad.
Gabby: As far I'm concerned, we're cool. But when this is on the line, we're not friends.
Keira: That...came out of nowhere. Did I piss you off?
Gabby: Keira, let's just be clear. I don't have any issues with you personally, but professionally, you are trying to take this from me. I do not take that lightly. If you think for one second I'm going to let a friendship stand in the way of being the LAW champion, you have another thing coming. I like you, I respect you, but this means the world to me. Just like I told Kate Steele, if you want to take this from me, you'd better be prepared to kill me to do it.
Keira: That's why I want you at your best, Gabby. You're right. You got something I've been wanting since day one. I only had one shot at it. I'm not anyone you faced in the past. I've got better, Gabby. I don't want to kill you. Killing is the easy way out. I'm sorry, Gabby. But in order for me to finally become Champion. Well...you know my motto. B.A.B.
{Keira sighs a bit.}
Keira: Either way. No matter what. Whoever wins...
{Keira points to the crowd.}
Keira: They win. Even you know that
Gabby: Lots of people have tried to break me Keira, and all of them have failed. And I hate to break it to you, but at Queen of the Ring, you will fail too.
Keira: Funny, people have said that to me too. That I'll fail. That the odds are against me. Funny, I love my odds. Gabby, don't take me lightly. Trust me. If you do, you'll be staring at the lights.
{Keira finishes with this.}
Keira: All roads lead to the final destination. Mine, is to become LAW Champion. Not just for me, but for my wife and my soon to be Son. I'll see you then.
{Keira softly drops the mic and exits the ring. She walks up the ramp, leaving Gabby there.}
{The match starts off even before the bell rings with Latoya Hixx pushing Wolverina. It barely affects the much bigger and stronger newcomer in Wolverina. Wolverina answers with a hard shove of her own, one that sends Hixx down the mat with a thud. Hixx is back on her feet instantly and takes down Wolverina with a hard tackle and stays on Wolverina with a ground and pound. Hixx lifts and throws Wolverina into the corner then charges at her. Wolverina counters with a sharp elbow that sends Hixx stumbling backwards. Wolverina springboards out of the corner and kicks Hixx right in the mouth. Wolverina goes for a pin hoping to secure a quick and easy win but Latoya Hixx kicks out at one and a half.}
{Latoya Hixx tries to roll out of the ring but Wolverina snatches her up, won’t let her leave. Hixx fights back, holding to the ropes with all her might and when Wolverina is finally forced to release the hold, she wastes little time in going for a knee to the face of Hixx that sends Hixx rocketing off the apron onto the outside mat. Wolverina goes the outside to retrieve Hixx and throws her back into the ring. As Wolverina tries to enter back into the ring, Hixx gives Wolverina a taste of her own medicine and knocks Wolverina off the apron. Hixx goes out and throws Wolverina back in the ring. Once inside the ring, Hixx wraps up Wolverina hold body scissors rear choke combo that sends them both crashing to the mat. Wolverina fights out of it, prying the arm and legs of Hixx off her and drags the Hixx to her feet as she stands. Hixx still manages to keep control and slam forearms into the back of Wolverina before sending her into the ropes. Wolverina ducks under the clothesline easily but on the second go-around is met with a hard dropkick that sends her ass over head and into a heap in the center of the ring. Hixx goes the cover but Wolverina throws her shoulders up at the two.}
{Wolverina flips over to her stomach but Hixx is quick to lift Wolverina to her feet. Wolverina fights back with a right, then a left, then a right, then another right. Latoya Hixx weebles and wobbles and Wolverina throws her into the ropes. Upon her return, Hixx is put down by Wolverina with a spinning sidewalk slam. Hixx sits upright, clutching her back. Wolverina adds to the pain with a soccer kick to the Hixx’s lower back. Hixx crawls away and as she slowly stands, Wolverina smacks her head first against the mat with a running bulldog. Wolverina goes for the cover but Hixx gets her shoulder up just in time.}
{Latoya Hixx rolls away into the corner and climbs to her feet using the turnbuckle. Wolverina leaps, ready for a splash as soon as Hixx turns around, but Hixx slides out of the corner letting Wolverina crash head first into the turnbuckle. While in the corner, Wolverina is assaulted with a ten-count of punches. Hixx pulls Wolverina out of the corner by her hair rocks Wolverina with a rolling uppercut then a quick snap kick to her stomach. Hixx tries to lift Wolverina not once, not twice, but three times before Wolverina pushes her away, traps her in a headlock, and knees her in the gut over and over. She wraps her up quickly and just drops her with the Platte River Plunge. Wolverina goes the cover and gets the three. She leaps to her feet and celebrates her win.}
{We find ourselves backstage in the AT&T Arena in San Antonio, Texas. To be more precise, the scene opens up in the catering area. The Steele women have taken over the kitchen as there’s a special guest in the building tonight: the owner of the Steele Bakery chain, Kate’s very own Scottish mother, Gwendolyn Steele. Gwendolyn smiles as Kate stands next to her wearing an apron. Her hair colour of choice for tonight: Blonde. Gwendolyn stands there shaking her head in disgust as she looks at Kate.}
Gwendolyn: Kath-Lyn, what did I tell you about leaving that in the oven for so long?!
Kate Steele: Mom, I got it. Just relax!
Gwendolyn: No, you don’t… You know, pumpkin, if you actually paid attention when people are trying to help you, you wouldn’t be in as big of a mess as you are in now.
Kate Steele: Yes, mom!
Gwendolyn: Now where is that husband of yours…? Theodore?!
Teddy Steele: My name isn’t Theodore. Teddy is just a bloody nickname.
{Teddy stands just off screen, out of view.}
Gwendolyn: Why are you faking an accent? My daughter really has you that wrapped around her finger? I see she took after me.
{Gwendolyn chuckles.}
Teddy Steele: I am not a bitch boy!
Gwendolyn: Right… Less talking, more baking.
{Finally, Teddy walks into the scene. He wears an apron that reads, “Best Chef.” He smiles as he opens the oven, places some oven mitts on his hands, and pulls out a pan of cupcakes, and a huge scrumptious red velvet cake. Todd places the assortment on the counter and Kate’s eyes light up as Kate goes to stick her finger in the cake but she is instantly smacked away by her mother.}
Gwendolyn: Don’t touch. That is for our guest.
{Kate pulls away her hand and looks at it.}
Kate Steele: For who?
Gwendolyn: Amy Jo Smyth. Don’t you think she deserves a cake?
Kate Steele: Not your red velvet cake/ Look, mom, me and her don’t really get along. She kinda glitterbombed me and -
Gwendolyn: And you threw dye all over her! Which was cruel. You are better than that. Getting three people to take out one person.
{Momma Steele shakes her head in disappointment.}
Gwendolyn: Tonight, I want you to offer all of these to her as a peace offering, and you need to be apologetic for what you did. Do I make myself clear?
Kate Steele: Yes, mom!
Gwendolyn: Good. Now let’s have everything sit for a bit, cool. And when you are ready go reach out to her, you take this to her.
{Kate Steele turns so that her mother cannot see her roll her eyes. Todd gives his wife a wink.}
{As the bell sounds, the women dance around the ring and each other, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Kate Bass and Hope Harris meet in the middle and lock up. Harris slides Bass into a side headlock but the spunky Bass fights back, wailing Harris in the ribs with multiple hard punches and throwing Harris into the ropes. Cali-Kate doesn’t reap the rewards when Hope Harris returns with a shoulder block for her. Harris lifts Bass to her feet and throws into the turnbuckle. Then into the next turnbuckle. Then the next one. In the final one, Kate Bass comes bouncing out and meets a powerful clothesline from Hope Harris. She hooks the legs but Bass throws up her shoulder easily.}
{Kate Bass climbs to her knees, holding her back. Hope Harris helps her up the rest of the way, to her feet, and whips Bass into the ropes. Bass jumps, springs off the second rope, and comes down on Harris with a lariat. Bass grabs Harris and puts her on her back, goes for the cover but it barely yields a two count.}
{Hope Harris is helped to her feet by Kate Bass and then eats right hand after right from Cali-Kate before being pushed into the ropes and trapped against them. Harris gets control and throws Bass into the corner. After only one forearm from Harris, Bass throws Harris into the corner. The women keep fighting for position, throwing each other into the corner and adding in punches. Harris finally gains the upper hand and pulls Bass out of the corner. Bass counters quickly, turning herself around, and puts Harris down with a side Russian legsweep. Bass stays down for the cover but only gets a two.}
{Both women get to their feet on their own and it doesn’t take long before they exchange punches. Cali-Kate gets control and sets Hope Harris dazed. Kate Bass springboards off the second rope, catches Harris around the neck, and takes her down with a headscissors takedown. Using momentum, Harris rolls to her feet and stands in a haze with her back to Bass. Bass charges, slides, and hits Harris with a chop block, bringing Harris to her knees. Kate Bass follows that up with a shining wizard and goes for a cover. Hope Harris kicks out violently at two, sending Kate Bass flying away from Harris.}
{Hope Harris climbs to her knees as Kate Bass stands over her. Harris takes Bass off guard with a rollup. Bass is able to kick out and flip to her feet while Harris stays on her knees. Bass approaches and once again, Harris catches Bass off guard with an uppercut that sends Bass flying back. Harris then flips Bass with a sunset flip and nails her in the back of the head with a shoot kick. Bass falls flat on her back. Harris climbs up the turnbuckle, perches, and waits for Bass to get to her feet. As soon as she does, Harris leaps, and catches Harris with a Diva Drop, a diving neckbreaker,
And rolls over for the cover. Only a two count leaves Harris looking frustrated.}
{Kate Bass climbs to her feet using the ropes as Hope Harris grabs her by the hair. Harris attempts to throw Bass into the ropes but Bass counters, throwing Harris into the ropes. Bass catches her just right, takes flight, twirls, and hits Harris with the Comic-Kaze. Bass hooks the leg and gets the three.}
{Jamilyn Cornett is seen sitting down near the stage, apparently trying to calm herself before her impending match. Her eyes remain closed as her Pokemon Trainer costume draws more than a little unwanted attention.
From one woman in particular.
As she adjusts her legs, a shadow is cast above her, but while under most circumstances she'd have at least asked what they wanted, Jamilyn doesn't even acknowledge the other person.
Kenzi eyed Jamilyn, the expression on her face unreadable. After the last two weeks between them, she wasn’t even certain how to even begin a conversation. Instead of saying anything, she just plopped down beside the woman who had done everything in her power to make Kenzi love her…then shoved her aside for the amusement of her enemies. Anyone else would have been enraged at the callous woman, but Kenzi wasn’t…she was in love with her and had wanted nothing more than the best for Jamilyn Cornett. Kenzi forgave Jamilyn and tried to move on, but when circumstances again pushed them together, Jamilyn again told Kenzi that she loved her. Whether intentional or not, Kenzi theorized that this meant that Jamilyn was ready to be free of her Starpoint Girls…the only thing that was apparently keeping them apart. Kenzi sighed, looking down at her hands as she did.}
Kenzi Grey: I know you don’t want to be here…with me. Everything between us was a game for you…but it wasn’t for me. The last two weeks have been hell...and all I want is for it to stop. I want you to tell me that you don’t love me…so I can move on…
{She paused, looking over at Jamilyn with tears welling up in her eyes.}
Kenzi Grey: …if you don’t…if you keep up this lie…I don’t how much longer I’ll be able to endure it. I feel like I’m going crazy inside, don’t you get that?
JMC: It ain't that simple, Mackie....
{Jami could be heard sniffing.}
JMC: I know you want me to tell you I don't love you...but I can't. It may have started out as a scam...but I did fall in love with you. You and I have a lot in common, we both suffer the same psychosis...and if we'd gotten together before Juliana...maybe even before Taryn...it could have worked. It was just a wrong-place-wrong-time situation. You need to move on from me...go be with the woman who has been there for you through everything. Be with Tina, Mackie...for me at least.
{Jami looks over to Kenzi, and her blue eyes are sparkling with water.}
JMC: For what it's worth...I've not been right since that punch to the head from Alexis...so you need to get out of here before things get bad.
Kenzi Grey: Alexis? THIS ISN’T ABOUT ALEXIS BLAKE!
{Kenzi dropped her head and tears rolled down her face as her shoulders quivered and something inside her broke.}
Kenzi Grey: Why couldn’t you lie about loving me? YOU BITCH!! WHY COULDN’T YOU JUST LIE?!!
{Kenzi got to her feet, her entire body shivering as she confronted JMC, face to face.}
Kenzi Grey: I told you what would happen Jami…I TOLD YOU WHAT I’D DO!! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!! YOU CAN’T FORCE ME TO STOP LOVING YOU!!
{Jami tried not to look at Kenzi, not wanting to see the anguish on her face.}
JMC: Mackie…I can’t change, okay!
{Kenzi pulled at her hair as she paced back and forth, her hands becoming fists and pounding at her thighs. She stopped in front of JMC and knelt down in front of her, angrily wiping the tears from her face as she did. She took Jamilyn’s face into her hands, forcing her to look her in her eyes.}
Kenzi Grey: I’ll take them away Jami…all of them…I’d do it…don’t you believe me?! DON’T YOU?! I’VE DONE IT BEFORE WITH…
{JMC got to her feet, putting her own hands over Kenzi’s holding them there as she stared right back, her eyes glistening with tears.}
JMC: With Alex? Is that what you were going to say? The way you got rid of Hannah Paul? How did that end for you Mackie? How did that end for you and Alex? If you try to take away my girls…it won’t end the way you want it to…
{Kenzi glared at her in utter hurt and confusion.}
Kenzi Grey: Why?! Why won’t it?! TELL ME!!
{JMC paced back and forth, struggling with the words…how to say it…how to make her understand. There as only one way to do. She stopped, looking right at Kenzi.}
JMC: I’m addicted to it Mackie…I’m addicted to all of my girls…every one of them! I can’t stop…I tried with you…but I couldn’t stop! I knew that if I tried to stay…with you…only you…eventually the itch would come back and I’d hurt you Mackie…I’d hurt you again! That’s why you have to let me go.
{Kenzi stood there, searching her face for any sign of a lie, but she could find none. Jamilyn had been upfront about her problem, but Kenzi still wasn’t satisfied.}
Kenzi Grey: YOU NEED TO TRY AGAIN! YOU NEED TO TRY HARDER! I’LL HELP YOU JAMI…I’LL HELP YOU! If I get rid of them…if I get rid of all of them, then you’ll be free! Then you can give all of your love to just me!!
{JMC grabbed onto her hand, holding her there as she looked into her eyes.}
JMC: Mackenzie...
{Jami pulled the shaking Kenzi into her arms. For the first time Kenzi appears less like a raging fanatic and more like a lost and confused girl, the first time LAW fans have really seen her like this.}
JMC: Listen...I'm not saying I don't understand where you're coming from...but look at it from my view. I want to still be your friend even after all we've been through. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you...and I'm sorry I couldn't live up to the promises I made to you. But I can't shut off these feelings…these urges that I get when they come over me! I can’t control it Mackie…I tried…I tried to do it for you…but I couldn’t…so I said terrible things to drive you away. I told the entire world that it was all just a game…I said I never loved you to drive you away.
{Kenzi dropped her head, crying as she relived the moment when Jamilyn, Cali-Kate, and Jenny Tuck had all reveled in her emotional torture. The backlash had been immediate, but Kenzi forgave her, still proclaiming her love, but keeping her distance.}
JMC: Kenzi…I did that because I really DID love you…I thought that the hurt I caused you that night would be less than this…if you saw that I couldn’t stop, that I wouldn’t stop. I want to stop hurting you Mackie, I swear, it’s all I want to do…but…I need my girls, I need all of my girls. You refuse to be one of them…and that hurts me too…but I understand. I need you to understand…I need help…I want help…but I can’t be with you right now, even though you want it. You can never trust me…because I can’t trust myself…I’m sorry…I’m so sorry for everything…
{Kenzi stared at her, so many emotions passing by so quickly. Rage, devastation, hopelessness. Jamilyn held her tightly, rocking slowly back and forth.}
JMC: You deserve someone who can love you back the way you want. Someone to love just you. I want to be that person…I really do, but I can’t, no matter how hard I try, I can’t. Let me be there for you as a friend…that is all that I can give you…
{Jami moved back and kissed Kenzi on her forehead as she stepped away from her, possibly for the last time for all they knew.}
JMC: I have to get ready for my match....just....before I go....I'll understand if you can't be friends with me...I want to be....but I understand if we can't, okay Caramel?
{Jami waited for a response, but Kenzi just stood there, unmoving. She nodded, and turned to walk away. As she did, Kenzi ran up behind her, throwing her arms around her as she whispered in her ear.}
Kenzi Grey: …thank you…
{Kenzi kissed her on the cheek, then let her go…in every sense of the word, though both parted still parted with tears in their eyes.}
{The participants for this match were each accompanied by a member of the Grey family, with Bobbi London wheeling Sidney Grey down to ringside and Kenzi Grey accompanying Brittany Williams down to the ring. As both women stood at ringside with their respective Grey, it was apparent that this was much more than a simple Breakout Title Qualifier. Sidney Grey was directing Bobbi to injure Brittany Williams, the daughter of her first rival in LAW, Christina Millar. As both women entered the ring, the size difference was something to behold with nearly 200 pounds separating the two. Bobbi attempted to offer a good natured handshake, but Sidney would have none of it, telling the massive Aussie to maul the daughter of her former rival.
Bobbi went into pursuit mode as Brittany sped around the ring, avoiding Bobbi as she tried her best to keep her distance, but eventually she found herself trapped in the corner. Brittany tried to duck out of the way, but Bobbi caught her with one hand and lifted her into the air, sending her hard into the turnbuckles. Bobbi proceeded to lay in the heavy lumber on her diminutive target as she tried to cover up. As she hit the mat, Bobbi let up for a moment, only to have Sidney scream for her to stomp her out. Bobbi reluctantly began driving her heavy foot down on Brittany like a rapid-fire piston, hammering her into the canvas. The referee administered the 5 count as Brittany was clinging to the ropes for dear life. As Bobbi backed off on the count of 4, Kenzi pulled Brittany out of the ring and down to the floor as she attempted to help the girl collect herself.
Sidney wheeled herself around the ringside area, lambasting her daughter as she told her to put Brittany back into the ring. Kenzi refused as she put herself between them, but Bobbi reached through the ropes and grabbed Brittany by her hair and pulled her up and back into the ring, slamming her hard to the mat. Bobbi picked Brittany up and pressed her over her head, but Brittany fought out and managed to slip down behind the big Aussie. Brittany fired a hard forearm into Bobbi that hardly phased her then she fired another and another. Bobbi took a step back then bowled over Brittany with a standing clothesline as she charged forward. Bobbi stood over her and started to go for the pin, but again Sid screamed for her to stay on the attack. Bobbi picked up Brittany and slammed her down. Bobbi built up a head and steam, rebounded off the ropes and leapt high into the air, dropping a massive leg drop.
Bobbi bounced off the empty canvas as Brittany rolled out of the way at the last possible moment. Kenzi screamed for Brittany to go on the attack as she started laying in hard kicks. As Bobbi weathered the blows and started to get up, Brittany hit the ropes and nailed her with “The Boom Headshot” round kick that knocked the off balance behemoth over and sent her rolling onto her back. Brittany wasted no time rebounding off the ropes with a springboard lionsault nailing Bobbi with the “Stay Down Noob.” Brittney goes right into the pin as the referee counts…ONE…TWO…THR…
Bobbi launches Brittany off of her, sending the much smaller woman flying halfway across the ring. Bobbi rolled to her feet, pounding the mat in anger. Brittany climbed the turnbuckle and launched herself at Bobbi with a flying crossbody block, but Bobbi caught her in midair, then readjusted as she sent Brittany crashing to the mat with an exploder suplex. The smaller woman hit the mat hard and immediately rolled out of the ring. Bobbi moved quickly going right after Brittany, only to find Kenzi blocking her path to buy her friend some time to recover. As Kenzi and Bobbi exchanged words, Sidney Grey wheeled herself over, approaching the still shaken Brittany from behind. A roar went up from the crowd as Wolverina ran down the ramp and put herself between Sidney and Brittany, warning the aging star against interfering as the crowd cheered.
Bobbi picked Kenzi up and sat her aside as she grabbed Brittany and tossed her through the ropes and back into the ring. She stopped as she faced off with Wolverina, warning her away from Sidney, then going back into the ring, still watching after her crippled employer. Sidney screamed directions at her and cursed at Wolverina and the fans. Bobbi was ready to end the match quickly as she grabbed the nearly lifeless Brittany and perched her on her shoulders, carrying her to the corner as she climbed up to the second turnbuckle, then positioned her for a super fall-away slam as Sidney continued to egg her on. Wolverina, having heard enough, grabbed Sidney’s chair and started pushing her away from ringside and back up the ramp as the fans cheered and Bobbi yelled for her to bring her employer back. The distraction was enough for Brittany to start to fight wiggle knocking Bobbi off balance, causing her to fall with the much smaller woman landing right on top of her. The referee dove in for the count as Kenzi reached into the ring and held Bobbi’s feet from the outside, dangling off the floor as she used all of her weight to prevent the kick out as the referee counted; ONE! TWO! THREE!
Brittany scrambled out of the ring and fell right into the arms of her Kenzi. Kenzi held Brittany, who was barely able to stand as Bobbi sat up with a look of shock on her face and Wolverina stopped pushing Sidney, taking the time to wink at the woman and clap her hands as she walked away, satisfied with the result. Kenzi helped Brittany to the back, smirking at her mother as Brittany gave her the finger while then walked pass. Sidney screamed in anger as Bobbi rolled out of the ring, apologizing to her employer.
The action turned to the announce team…}
Troy Franklin: Not the most impressive win for Brittany Williams, but it is a win none-the-less thanks in large part to Kenzi Grey and newcomer Wolverina who settled a score with Sidney Grey tonight!
Duke King: Troy, don’t minimize what B-Brat was able to do out there against a monster of a woman who should have beaten her in under a minute! Tonight, Brittany Williams solidified herself as the top contender in the Breakout Tournament for me!
Troy Franklin: Do you even listen to yourself talk?
Duke King: No I don’t Troy!
{Troy rolled his eyes.}
Troy Franklin: This match is in the books but we are going to see Kenzi Grey in action later tonight taking on Mackenzie Roberts in a non-title match. You have to wonder how this will affect any support she was hoping to have from her mother or Bobbi London. She may be on her own out there…Brittany Williams looks to be in no condition to accompany anyone!
Duke King: Kenzi Grey is a machine inside that ring…she doesn’t need help to win matches!
Troy Franklin: She needs miracles Duke…and there are none on the horizon for her! Folks, we will be right back after this commercial break!
{Kate Steele holds a tray of freshly fried pink frosted donuts, complete with rainbow sprinkles as she stands in front of Amy Jo Smyth’s locker room door. She can’t help but grin evilly as she knocks on the door and waits patiently for somebody to answer. The door opens, Amy Jo Smyth sees who’s standing there, and quickly slams the door. }
Amy Jo Smyth: Fuck off.
{Kate, however, begins to grow upset. Steele is done being polite and motions to Teddy, who stands with her, holding a tray of cupcakes in his hands. She whispers something to him and it isn’t long before he cracks a grin.}
Teddy Steele: Don’t worry, babe, I made this batch with laxatives in it. IF she wants to play games with you, she’s going to pay for it. We will make her shit her brains out. Hopefully right in the middle of her match, too.
{Kate smiles in return as she decides to open the door as she looks inside with the tray of donuts in her hand.}
Kate Steele: Listen here, AJS, or whatever wanna you call yourself. I made some nice, delicious donuts. Look, it’s your favourite, too. Pink frosting with sprinkles but you weren’t nice. These delicious donuts gone to waste just like… I don’t know… THAT!
{Kate drops the tray as she makes all of the donuts fall on the floor as Teddy walks inside with the tray of cupcakes in his hand. Smyth just stands there, watching, stone-faced, unmoved, and a lot unimpressed but very much alert.}
Teddy Steele: Way to be rude, bae. Listen up, Amy Jo Smyth. I know we didn’t really have the best first meeting, we’ve had our differences, but I want to make that up to you. With these warm, freshly baked cupcakes. Please take them as a peace offering.
{Teddy puts the tray down on the dressing table against the wall. Smyth looks at them, then back at Smyth.}
Amy Jo Smyth:Y’all done?
{Smyth folds her arms in front of her chest.}
Kate Steele: Enjoy them. They were made by my mom, a professional baker.
{Smyth nods.}
Teddy Steele: Her mom… Hm. She makes the best red velvet cake around. You never had anything like that.
Amy Jo Smyth: Great. Thanks for that fascinating bit of information. It will surely come in handy one day in the land of I don’t give a shit.
Todd Steele: You should try it. Those are the best damn cupcakes you’re ever gonna have.
Amy Jo Smyth: Please leave before I remove you.
{Kate Steele makes an upturned face and makes a sound. Teddy Steele stares at Amy Jo through tight eyes.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Y’all that stupid? Are you looking for me to drown you in the toilet?
{Kate turns on her heel and exits. Teddy follows slowly, never taking his eyes off Smyth as he does.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Manners don’t cost, Ms. Steele! Rude as fuck.
{Smyth slams the door behind them.}
{Jamilyn Cornett’s music could be heard playing in the backstage area as Alexis Blake approached the Gorilla Position with fire in her eyes, ready to take down the Coldfire Phoenix. As she stood there, she was approached by Kenzi Grey, still looking distraught and shattered after the dissolution of her ‘exclusive relationship’ with Jamilyn.}
Kenzi Grey: Alexis…I need to talk to you!
{Alexis whirled around on Kenzi, more than ready for a fight.}
Alexis Blake: I TOLD YOU TO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!
{Kenzi held up her hands.}
Kenzi Grey: Look…I know this thing between you and me isn’t settled…but this thing between you and Jami…it needs to be over, okay? I had a talk with her a few minutes ago…it explains everything. She’s sick Alexis…she has an addiction and she can’t hel…
Alexis Blake: Do you think I’m stupid?! EVERYONE CAN SEE THAT YOU DUMB BITCH!! But I’m going to beat her ass for what she did to me…feel free to watch!! You’re going to be next!!
{Alexis turned to head through the curtain as her theme music began to play. Kenzi grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, angrily pointing up at the much taller star.}
Kenzi Grey: ALEXIS, JAMI IS SICK!! YOU NEED TO JUST LET THIS GO, OKAY?!
{Alexis’ temper flared as she shoved Kenzi back, sending her stumbling back into the wall. Alexis pointed right back at her.}
Alexis Blake: LAST WARNING BITCH!!
{Alexis turned to head out to the ring, but Kenzi sprang to her feet, charging after Alexis. At the last moment, Kenzi went down and fell right into the back of Alexis’ leg, causing it to buckle awkwardly as she floor screaming in pain. Kenzi got to her feet quickly with her hands going nervously to her head as she looked around and saw the cameraman right behind her along with a few shocked looking staffers.}
Kenzi Grey: OH MY GOD! GET SOME HELP! ALEXIS HAD AN ACCIDENT! CALL A TRAINER OR A DOCTOR! GO! GO!
{Alexis continued to hold her leg as she cursed at Kenzi, using words so foul that in conjunction with the beeped language her mouth had to be pixilated. Kenzi paced back and forth trying to calm her down.}
Kenzi Grey: I’M SORRY…IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! I SLIPPED…I SWEAR!!
{Alexis lunged for Kenzi causing the reality star to have to jump back to escape.}
Alexis Blake: I WILL KILL YOU!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I’LL KILL YOU!!
{Kenzi continued to apologize until help arrived and Kenzi was escorted out of the area. The scene turned to the announcer’s table as Troy and Duke watched what happened from their desk monitor.}
Troy Franklin: Well…thanks for Kenzi Grey this match is off and Alexis Blake might be seriously hurt! There has to be some punishment for what she just did!!
Duke King: WHOA!! Easy Troy…we both saw what happened there, Kenzi slipped and fell into Alexis Blake’s leg! It was a total accident! Hell…if anything, Alexis assault Kenzi first…per her usual M.O.! She’s the one that should get punished here!
Troy Franklin: Are you HIGH?!! Kenzi did not want this match to happen and now…IT’S NOT HAPPENING!!
Duke King: It was an ACCIDENT!!
{Troy throws up his hands in frustration.}
Troy Franklin: Folks, we’ll update you on the status of Alexis Blake as soon as we can. Please stand by as we try to get the show back on track!
{After commercial, the scene cuts back to Jamilyn Cornett and Cali-Kate. Jamilyn is visibly frustrated, still upset over what happened earlier in the night, while Kate is moving her arms, preparing for her match.}
JMC: I’m just so pissed right now! With everything going on, this was my one chance to show I could still be taken seriously as a wrestler, and now I don’t even have that! Oh, Amy Jo is gonna have a FIELD DAY with this!
Kate: Yeah, but that wasn’t your fault, Jamibug. You apologized to Kenzi and made up with her, you showed up tonight, they can’t ask much more of you than that.
JMC: Yeah, sure, asking for a match, getting it booked, and then the match never getting to happen. Between this and the last few weeks, I don’t think this can POSSIBLY get any worse.
?: Excuse me!
{A stagehand approaches the two.}
Stagehand: Miss Cornett, the GM’s been looking for you for a while now. You’re to see her in her office right away.
JMC: Okay….I’ll be right there.
{The stagehand points down the hall.}
Stagehand: Third door to your right. Try not to keep her waiting too long...she didn’t seem like she was in a pleasant mood.
{The stagehand walks away as Jami sighs.}
JMC: (muttering) I must have been excruciatingly cruel to puppies in a previous life….
Kate: Do you need me to tag along?
JMC: No….I think I know what this is about...you go ahead and get to your match.
Kate: Okay...I’ll see you backstage, right?
JMC: Assuming I still have a job by the end of the night...the way my luck--
Kate: Jami...that’s the kind of talk she expects. You gotta think more positive than that.
JMC: (taking a deep breath) You're right, Katiekat. You go ahead, I’ll catch up later.
{The two girls share a quick kiss before Kate rushes off to the ring. Jami, meanwhile, heads toward MHK’s office, not exactly knowing what to expect, but preparing for the worst case scenario. Cornett comes to the temporary office door of L.A.W general manager, Megan Helms-Helms-King. She knocks and takes in a deep breath as she waits.}
MHK: It's open.
{Cornett opens the door slowly, peering in carefully. In the office, Helms-King is sitting at a desk, reviewing what looks to be legal paperwork. Jami stands behind the chair in front of the desk, her hands clasped in front of her, her posture straight.}
JMC: You wanted to see me, Megan?
{Helms-King looks up.}
MHK: Ms. Cornett. Sit.
{Helms-King points to the chair as she shuffles around some paperwork and removes her glasses, places them on the desk. Cornett wastes little time, sitting down in the chair, her hands on her thighs. She takes a deep breath and looks to Helms-King with almost a blank face, as if not sure what to expect at this point.}
MHK: Why do you think I wanted to see you, Jamilyn?
JMC: To discuss my actions the last few weeks, of which I have been making amends for. I regret everything I’ve done, and I’m sorry for all the peop--
{Helms-King puts up her open palm.}
MHK: I'm gonna stop you there… This has got to stop. You're adult, Jamilyn. It's time to grow up. You cocked up. Big time. There are consequences that long-winded apologies and self-deprecation will not fix.
{Cornett nodded with understanding.}
JMC: With all due respect, had I been allowed to finish, I would have said that I was sorry for all the people I hurt, and I’m willing to accept any and all consequences. You’re right, Megan… I am an adult. And an adult accepts the consequences of their actions, no matter how severe they might be.
MHK: Jamilyn, I cut you off because I don't want your apology nor explanation. Nobody does. I have zero desire to hear it. Mainly because your past apologies and so-called moments of clarity and maturity have been vapid. You don't listen well, do you? Does anything reach you?
{Cornett sits for a moment, as if she is a child thinking back on what she did wrong, but shakes her head and snaps out of it.}
JMC: Amy Jo was starting to - before I ruined it.
MHK: And what else are you willing to ruin? Because you're well on your way to ruining your career in L.A.W. and bloody fuckton of relationships and these young girls’ - these Starpoint Girls’ lives. Do you ever think before you do? Think of others? It's pretty clear you haven't been thinking about yourself.
{Cornett’s face starts to show signs of irritation as her nostrils flare up a bit.}
JMC: You don’t think I’m aware of that? Tonight was supposed to be my way of getting back on track, of showing I was more than a body. That got ruined because of actions I caused. And as for thinking of others, well considering everything I’ve been trying to do for my friends, I’d say I think of others a lot more than I think of myself. I don’t think I’m ruining their lives; if anything I’m trying to keep them from ending up like me.
{Helms-King rubs her eyes.}
MHK: You're not getting it. These girls are fighting for your attention. That's all they care about, think about, want for. Forgive my wording here, but you've got them on a leash. They deserve better than that, then fighting for your attention. You deserve better than having to play savior or pretending to play savior to these girls. They need real love. While you're off being the knight in white armor to these dozens of girls, you have no time for yourself, to work on yourself, to love yourself. AJ told you this and I wholeheartedly agree, you are substituting these girls for a love you need to give yourself and in them distracting yourself. At the same time, you're letting your career in the ring go sideways for them, for whatever pursuit you have there.
{Cornett folded her arms, her mouth going to one side of her face.}
JMC: And you’re automatically assuming these girls aren’t already with themselves? Several of them don’t even care if I’m there half the time, they have their own relationships going on. I don’t understand where you keep trying to tell me that I don’t love myself and require these girlfriends in order to function...
MHK: You just proved my point there. They don't care if you're around and they have other relationships. You're getting sometimes attention and that's good enough for you. That's not a relationship. I have no problem with polyamory, but that's just… That's not how it works. That's more a fuckbuddy or a… When it's convenient situation. You think that's what you're worth so that's what you take. You don't know your worth, Jamilyn. You don't love yourself to know what it is and how it should make you feel. You deserve better. You deserve to be the most important thing, the first thing in your lover’s life. But you don't ask for more, you don't - you don't think you're important enough to be first, you don't put yourself first so no one else does.
{Megan sighs heavily, looks at Jamilyn through the eyes of a mother.}
MHK: You deserve to be happy. This can't possibly make you happy.
{Megan pauses, recoups.}
MHK: I'm still your boss, however. Mr. Dupree said it clear as day that the excessive… Hooking up needs to cease so work on that, okay? But the major issue here is that you're not well. Everyone can see it. You cannot focus on getting well if you're wrapped up in that nonsense. Let's get to the bottom line here, Jamilyn. You need help.
{Megan Helms-King picks up, puts on her glasses and pulls papers in front of her.}
MHK: Jamilyn, how well do you know this Drake guy? The lawyer?.
{Cornett, however, temporarily ignores MHK to address the other point she made.}
JMC: As for my career, I’ve had one match since I signed with this company. I wasn’t booked a couple weeks ago, and tonight’s match got scrapped because my opponent didn’t make it to the ring. I’m sorry, but to say my personal life is affecting my career when I’ve only been truly booked once in two months’ time is a bit of a stretch and overestimating what I’ve been able to do since I signed back at Validation. I WANT a chance to prove myself. I WANT the opportunities to expand what I can do here and at this point, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get to that point.
{Cornett lowers her hands and puts them on the arm of the chair.}
JMC: Drake… Used to be a longtime family friend of ours. It’s because of him I even got out of that rapist stepfather’s house to even try to be normal. At least, that’s what I thought.
MHK: Well, after his little exploit this week… I'm not sure he's got your best interest in mind. On top of that, I went through your contract again with the intention of making changes with my lawyers - which were made - and there were a number of, let's call them inconsistencies that were noticed. They've been corrected, however, and don't worry about them. I would suggest that you find new legal representation, though.
{Helms-King hands Cornett a copy of the contract. Cornett looks it over and starts making faces as if she’s trying to process what she’s reading. Megan chuckles.}
JMC: Drake’s already been fired. I don’t trust anyone willing to do what he did. And I see that my paycheck has been reinstated…
MHK: Your paycheck was never not instated. We were paying you. Well, your check went to that teen thing but we've decided that it'd be best to pay you directly at this point and time.
JMC: Fair enough. But there are a few things I’m not sure I understand. Like this here.
{Cornett points to a particular clause on the contract.}
JMC: I have no idea what this means at all.
MHK: Honey, I can't see what you're pointing at from all the way over here. What does it say?
JMC: Something about a ‘mental health program’. I mean, I knew I was a few coins shy of a 1UP, and I had been doing counseling...until last LAW, when my recovery made me skip the last few sessions.
MHK: What is a one-up?
{Cornett looks up at her confused. Megan looks back at her just as confused.}
JMC: I’mma take a wild guess you’re not familiar with video games that much…
MHK: My daughter plays them but in my day, we went outside and it wasn't just to find Pokemon with our phones.
{Megan looks Cornett up and down, gives her a short stare. Cornett looks down and chuckles a bit, suddenly remembering she’s in her Pokemon White Trainer gear, hence Megan’s mention of Pokemon.}
JMC: In all fairness, I’m not big on that app myself. Basically, I knew I wasn’t fully okay in the head, but I thought I’d been doing pretty well considering the circumstances. The last few weeks have really been my biggest challenge up to this point, but now that I’m back on my medication, I should be--
MHK: Here we go again with the long speeches. Jamilyn, it is now mandated that you go weekly therapy sessions in order for you to work in LAW. It's for the best. For you, especially.
{Cornett nods and reaches for a pen to sign the new contract almost instantly.}
MHK: You need to put you first and this is first step toward that. You've got a lot of things to overcome and this will help.
{Cornett looks up to Megan with a deadpan look in her eyes.}
JMC: If I had any arguments to that, I’d have already walked out the door.
{Cornett opens the pen and writes her name and initials on the lines required and hands the contract back to Helms-King without incident.}
JMC: I’ll call my counselor first thing Monday to restart my sessions. If need be, I’ll provide documentation of my visits.
MHK: No need. I've already been in touch with with your therapist. The two of us will have weekly chats about your progress. Nothing personal, just that you're going and that you're working toward changes. For as much as a mother likes to know what's going on in her child's life, she also knows when they need space and privacy. My only interest is that you're getting well.
{Cornett nods, her eyes starting to water up.}
JMC: Maybe if I had a mother like you in the first place, I wouldn’t need this to begin with. But okay. I’ll go to the therapy sessions. I do have a lot that I need to work on.
MHK: We all do. It's just a matter of knowing when we need help doing it.
{Cornett nods and stands up, beginning to walk to the door, when she stops about half way. She turns back to Helms-King.}
JMC: For what it’s worth… Some of what AJ said stuck. Just in the wrong way. Hopefully this will help me understand what she truly meant. No matter what she does or says….she’s still one of the best friends I’ve ever had.
MHK: You may not believe it, but she really does have your best interest at heart. She just… She's rough around the edges. If you knew more about her, you'd understand why. But, I'll let her know you said that.
JMC: Somehow...I think I already do understand. Thank you.
MHK: She's a hard egg to crack.
JMC: She’s not the only one.
MHK: Thank you for your time, Jamilyn.
{Cornett shook her head.}
JMC: No...thank you for caring enough to push back. I think I needed that more than anything this week.
MHK: Momma takes care of her cubs. Even if they don't like it.
{Megan winks at Jamilyn, who giggles a bit in return.}
JMC: You sound like my stepmother...who I owe a big apology to now.
MHK: Might wanna get on that, like the first thing you do when you get outta this office.
JMC: Two steps ahead of you on that.
MHK: Cheers, kid.
{With that, Cornett resumes her walk out of the office, not exactly somber, but seemingly more calm than she had been going in.}
{“Gimme Your Applause” by Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, & Christina Aguilera begins to play as lightbulbs flash all through the arena. Kenzi walks out, not her usual cheerful self. This time see is accompanied by Dani Chow, her Publicist and Attorney as she headed to the ring with a folder under her arm.}[/font]
Troy Franklin: And here we go…what is this all about?!
Duke King: Couldn’t tell you Troy, but it looks serious!
Troy Franklin: I doubt that…
{Kenzi and Dani get into the ring as Beth Harris hands them a microphone.}
Kenzi Grey: Hello San Antonio…
{The fans boo her, despite the mention of their hometown.}
Kenzi Grey: I’m sorry…I don’t have any jokes for you people tonight because there is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed…and I…I…
{Kenzi suddenly seems overcome with emotion and Dani consoles her and then takes the microphone to continue to address everyone.}
Dani Chow: Ladies and gentlemen…this past Thursday the owner of LAW, Mr. Lucas Dupree put out a press release concerning the negative press that LAW has received surrounding the on-going ups and downs surrounding the relationship between Jamilyn Cornett and my client, Ms. Kenzi Grey. Now…we completely understand that Mr. Dupree would be upset at any negative press that the company receives and we totally believe that he should take action when it is warranted…however…his statement crossed the line and it has caused Ms. Grey personal distress and harmed her reputation!
{Troy looked at Duke in confusion.}
Troy Franklin: What is she talking about?
Duke King: Just wait…I’m sure you’ll find out!
{Kenzi continued to fight back tears as Dani consoled her.}
Dani Chow: Lucas Dupree posted an official statement in which he declared, as a statement of fact…the following, and I quote; “…but the fact that Ms. Grey, and Ms. Cornett continue to try and form relationships and be increasingly promiscuous is appalling and completely over the line.”
{Dani stopped as Kenzi burst into tears, forcing the woman to embrace her to calm her down. Dani continued to hold Kenzi as she went on.}
Dani Chow: Mr. Dupree crossed the line when he stated as FACT that my client was being increasingly promiscuous. In essence…the owner of this company slandered my client by referring to her as a whore in an official LAW press statement!
Troy Franklin: WHAT?!!
{The crowd immediately began to chant; WHORE! WHORE! WHORE! This immediately cause Kenzi to cry even harder. Dani did her best to console Kenzi before again addressing the issue.}
Dani Chow: It’s unfortunate that LAW has taken this hurtful and unfair action against my client, but the consequences of their actions have been even more damaging than they know! This poor girl is anything but promiscuous and has been forced to endure an endless stream of harassment because of the baseless comments made by Mr. Lucas…as it concerns Ms. Grey! The General Manager of LAW expressed concern over the harassment…but demanded that proof be provided to her of this harassment…
{Dani held up the envelope she was carrying.}
Dani Chow: Since last Thursday, my client has received exactly 1,959 explicit images of genitalia sent to her in conjunction with requests for sexual liaisons! My client is a public figure and these false allegations against her have made her a virtual recluse! She can’t go anywhere without being harassed or being followed, being constantly propositioned for sex! This is a young vulnerable woman and the actions of Lucas Dupree…reckless and inaccurate have put Ms. Grey at great personal risk! LAW needs to be accountable for their actions!
{“Just like Fire” starts up and LAW General Manager Megan Helms-King walks down the aisle with a stern look on her face and a microphone in hand.}[/font]
Megan Helms-King: STOP! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!
{The fans cheered as MHK climbed the steps and entered the ring.}
Megan Helms-King: Ms. Chow or whatever you claim your name is, that will be enough of this! You may represent Ms. Grey, but you are not a member of LAW, so you will not get into a LAW ring and spout propaganda! When Ms. Grey made those claims of harassment I told her to provide it to me for verification…because, let’s be honest…she has been known to bend the truth!
{The fans cheered as Dani opened the envelope and started pulling out screen shot after screen shot and handing them to MHK. The cameras were forced to pixilate the graphic images as she did.}
Dani Chow: From Chick_Magnet469; “Hey Kenzi, since you like getting the D…why don’t you send me a picture of your giant P?!
{She held up the picture then handed it to MHK.}
Dani Chow: From POON_GOD; You is a slut…praise Poon God’s mighty staff…you is a slut…suck it!
{She handed over the picture and pulled out another and frowned as she looked at it.}
Dani Chow: From Clown_F*cker19485. Wait…before I read this, I didn’t know that were that many people who wanted the name Clown_F*cker! Anyway…they wrote; Kenzi Grey, you are a giant hoe…how many clowns can fit inside your giant pu…
{MHK snatches the picture out of Dani’s hands and then the envelope as well.}
Megan Helms-King: THAT WILL BE ENOUGH!
{MHK flips through the envelope, shaking her head in disgust at the pictures inside. She closes it and looks at Kenzi.}
Megan Helms-King: Kenzi…was this all sent to you after Thursday’s announcement? Please be honest?
Dani Chow: Ms. King I…
Megan Helms-King: One more word and I’ll have you thrown out! Kenzi…answer me!
{Kenzi peeled away from Dani, taking the microphone away from her as tears continued to roll down her cheeks.}
Kenzi Grey: I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO DESERVE BEING CALLED PROMISCUOUS BY LUCAS DUPREE!! I’M NOT A WHORE!! HE SHOULDN’T HAVE CALLED ME THAT!!
{MHK sighed, shaking her head.}
Megan Helms-King: That was not what the statement said. He was only referring to the situation. It wasn’t a personal attack on you or anyone else.
Kenzi Grey: I’m not a whore…
{The crowd immediately began chanting; WHORE! WHORE! WHORE! Kenzi ran into Dani’s arms, covering her face as the fans insults bore down on her. MHK looked around at the crowd and while she wasn’t convinced that either of them were telling the truth, the shouts from the fans couldn’t be ignored. She gestured for silence and after a moment or two, they settled down.}
Megan Helms-King: What do you want? Are you trying to sue the company, because if you are, you can think again! We have our own…
{Dani raised her hand to stop her as she took the microphone from Kenzi, making sure it was okay to speak. MHK rolled her eyes then gestured for her to go ahead.}
Dani Chow: Kenzi loves this business and she loves LAW. That being said, she doesn’t feel that LAW has had her best interests at heart. This just highlights a continuing pattern of LAW trying to push her from its ranks. Perhaps if she were given an opportunity to show that she’s more than what Mr. Dupree falsely reduced her to…then maybe she could take advantage and start to heal. Perhaps something small…like…an opportunity to challenge for the Chaos Championship!
{The crowd groaned and MHK shook her head with a smirk on her face.}
Megan Helms-King: Do you think for one moment that a bunch of pornographic pictures and a trumped up story are going to be enough to buy your way into a title shot? I DON’T THINK SO!
{The fans roared and clapped, but MHK wasn’t done.}
Megan Helms-King: In LAW, opportunities are earned and not handed over through extortion! Tonight, Ms. Grey has an opportunity against the Marquee Champion. Should she win that match…maybe there could be a conversation about possible title contention, but it WILL NOT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!
{The fans roared and cheered.}
Troy Franklin: Good for MHK! She has moxie! I like it!
Duke King: She’s ignoring the fact that Kenzi is being harassed because of the LAW press statement! This is terrible!
{MHK folded her arms, her expression softening.}
Megan Helms-King: Ms. Grey…I sincerely believe that you do need help and I think that it is the responsibly of LAW to ensure that you receive it. I am directing that you receive regular therapy sessions at the expense of the company. These sessions will be recorded and your progress will be provided to me and me alone so that I can personally monitor your improvement. But I warn you…if I do not see any change…we will consider every option, including termination of your contract. Do you understand?
{Kenzi pulled away and looked at MHK, sniffing and wiping her eyes. Suddenly she ran at MHK and threw her arms around her, nearly knocking her off balance. MHK looked surprised and slightly annoyed, but she accepted the show of affection as acceptance. She narrowed her eyes at Dani and gestured for the woman to leave the arena as she escorted Kenzi to the back.}
Troy Franklin: Well…Kenzi tried to extort a title match out of LAW, but the General Manager saw right through that attempt and gave her therapy instead! Good for her!
Duke King: EXTORTION?! Kenzi has been harassed and you heard it here from the fans tonight! LAW is lucky it didn’t get sued! And as for the ‘so-called’ extortion, MHK didn’t say no to Kenzi getting a title opportunity…she said that a win tonight would put her in the conversation.
Troy Franklin: Well…she’d have to beat Mackenzie Roberts first…and I can’t see that happening! She better stick with getting mentally healthy first!
Duke King: We’ll see Troy…
Troy Franklin: Folks, we’ll be right back!
{The bell sounds and both Amy and Lightning step in to meet each other at the middle of the ring. They start things off with a friendly handshake then go about circling one another until Lightning makes the first move in gripping her arms around Amy's waist and stepping in behind suplexing her down to the canvas. Ignis cheers her on from the outside as Lightning looks to continue the assault bringing Amy up and burying a knee into her gut. Smyth coughs out as the Welsh Suplex Girl makes good on her name delivering up a standard plex dropping Amy back first this time. Lightning follows up with a pinning attempt only to score a one count.
Once more Lightning goes to bring Amy up but the Jersey native isn't having it this time as she grips hold of Lightning's wrists, puts a boot to her gut and sends her up and over with a monkey flip. Lightning is quick to her feet but Amy is quicker as she collides through the former tag champ with a hard hitting clothesline. Amy doesn't waste any time in bringing Lightning to a vertical base so she can light up her chest with a few knife edge chops. Amy then presses Lightning to the ropes and sends her running across to the other side catching her with a sleeper hold slowing the momentum of the match down to a crawl. Despite Lightning's best efforts, Amy simply refuses to let go of the hold as soon Lightning begins to fade. The ref goes in to check dropping her arm once...twice...but that's it as Lightning powers back out much to the adulation of her partner.
Lightning battles back with a few well places elbow shots into Amy's gut breaking free of the hold before hitting some nearby ropes for momentum coming in with a stiff forearm shot across Amy's jaw. Amy doesn't go down though as she only staggers back. Lightning continues her assault clubbing a blow across the back of Amy who soon pushes her away and quickly kicks in a back flipping pele kick. The crowd is left stunned before Amy comes in with a sudden Super Kick to finish the deal and earn herself a pinfall victory.}
{The cameras come into focus and as they do we are taken to the backstage area. The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to the sight of Zelda Knite and she is wearing a Kansas JayHawks basketball jersey. She is holding a microphone in her hands as she smiles.}
Zelda Knite: “Hello everyone this is Zelda Knite… Better half of EMF… FIRST EVER LAW TAG TEAM CHAMPiON! And tonight I guess that makes me an interviewer! But tonight we aren’t here today to talk about achievements but we are here on the road to Crystal’s redemption. We are here to watch Crystal clean her mess up after that disgusting train wreck.”
Crystal Millar: “Wow why don’t you keep burying me some more why don’t you?! Some best friend you are!”
Zelda Knite: “Sorry I am not Wendy House… I am not the one with the shovel… ANYWAY after being massacred by a bunch of goombas that are in the form of her ex husband, ex sister in law, and even her own little flesh and blood. Our young heroine… Who has lied about her age…”
Crystal Millar: “IT’S ONLY 1 YEAR Z… 1 YEAR!!!”
Zelda Knite: “Right… The same woman who will be turning 30 this year but will have you believe she’s turning 29… Has no idea where her husband is nor we don’t even know if he wants her back. But one thing I do know… There’s only one man on this planet who can get under Crystal’s skin enough that he might actually light something up within her and make her productive. A man who has made it a habit or tormenting Crystal to no end, but he’s the only man who can actually make her look good. Trust me I tried for the past six months… After all the beatdowns she can be someone else’s problem… But that man is none other than DANIEL POLLASKI!!! So… We are looking to get him to take Crystal on as a client again. To bring her to the promised land so she wouldn’t be ousted in the first round like those Spartans... “
Crystal Millar: “STOP WITH THE LOW BLOWS… SPARTY DID NOTHING TO YOU!”
Zelda Knite: “Now we are standing out here right outside Wendy House’s locker room. We saw Wendy leave it a while ago but we know Daniel is in there… So consider this the Dan for Crystal’s manager 2016 campaign and it starts right now!”
{Crystal seems nervous as she shows herself on the camera. She grimaces as she holds a sign upwards that reads “I Need Dan In My Life 2015…” While Zelda holds up a “Polla Bear 4 Crystal Manager 2016” They walk back and forth in front of the door. As Crystal looks at her Washington Huskies shirt that she has on.}
Crystal Millar: “I can’t wear this… This is just bad…”
Zelda Knite: “Just follow the script!”
Crystal Millar: “... Dan Dan HE’S OUR MAN… HE’S THE MANAGER WITH A PLAN… D A N… D A N… THAT’S HOW IT’S SPELLED… AND WHEN IT COMES TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PAC TWEL…. I CAN’T SAY IT Z… I JUST CAN’T….”
Zelda Knite: “ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK… ROCK CHALK JAY HAWK!”
Crystal Millar: “WE WANT DAN! WE WANT DAN!”
{The girls walk back and forth in front of the door as they keep the signs held upright as they make as much noise as they possibly can.
A whirring sound can be heard, and both Crystal and Zelda gape in astonishment as a robot- little more than a speaker atop a pole with a wheel base, rolls up to them. Before either woman can react, a voice recording begins to play.}
Pollaski’s Recorded Voice: “Hi! You’ve reached the locker room of Daniel Pollaski. I’m unable to come to the door right now, but if you leave your name and business after the beep, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Oh, and if you’re Crystal Hilton standing outside my door begging me to manage her instead of preparing for her match tonight… in the words of the great Shania Twain- “That Don’t Impress Me Much!””
*BEEEEP!*
{Crystal however was upset as she looked at Zelda and she immediately started to rip her Huskies shirt off.}
Crystal Millar: “Listen here you little shi…”
Zelda Knite: “Yelling isn’t going to get him to manage you… Relax calm thoughts Crystal…”
Crystal Millar: “First of all I am a Millar not A HILTON… Just because I might be separated from my husband doesn’t mean we are divorced… Second open the damn door… I am not dancing in front of the damn door for you to not pay any attention to me! I am a star… A legend. A 2x Hall of Famer, and most of all the SILVER SCREEN QUEEN! Now open up the damn door… Stop playing games or Magic the gathering or even Pokemon Go for that matter, and you come out here. Say you will be my manager so we can move on!”
Zelda Knite: “I said calm! That wasn’t calm! When I think of calm… I think of Final Fantasy 10 and….”
Crystal Millar: “Not in the mood for a video game reference.. I am just in the mood for a certain someone to give me some ATTENTION!
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!*
Generic Female Voice: Thank you for your message. Please vacate premesis before intruder protocol is activated and flamethrower mechanism is activated! Have a nice day!”
Zelda Knite: “Oh God we set off a trap… Run Crystal run! If there’s one thing I hate more than SNAKES...God not Snakes! Anything but Snakes! It’s setting off the booby trap…. “
{Zelda runs away as Crystal is standing there dumbfounded.}
Crystal Millar: “Really Indiana Jones now?! Z… Dan is bluffing there’s no way he could ever rig something like…”
*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!*
{Crystal’s claims are cut off in a scream as flames come GUSHING out of the pole, the robot rotating in a 360 degree arc, filling the entire corridor with spinning jets of fire. Still screaming, Crystal staggers back, nearly falls, but catches her balance, and runs as far and fast as she can. Several seconds after she’s gone, Daniel Pollaski comes walking around the corner. He takes one look at the robot jutting flame into the hallway, sighs, and pulls out his cellphone, shutting the flames off in just a couple quick seconds. He looks over at the camera- his face half in wry amusement, half in exasperation.}
Pollaski: And Mom said I was wasting my money when I invested in that Silicon Valley Startup.
{And with that, the obese manager steps around the now-inert robot, opens up the door, and enters his locker room/office, and slams the door behind him. And the show cuts elsewhere.}
{Backstage, Amy Jo Smyth has snuck into the catering kitchen for the arena. The large, beautifully decorated red velvet cake sits on the counter, unattended. Smyth smirks as she snatches the thing up and quickly escapes. The cake sits on the counter in the catering kitchen. Kate and Todd Steele walk into the kitchen, laughing. Kate spots the cake and rubs her hands together, ready to slice into it.}
Todd Steele: Are you sure? Your mom said not to touch it.
Amy Jo Smyth: Actually, your mom said we could all share it.
{Kate and Todd turn around quickly to look at Smyth. Smyth leans up against the door frame of the kitchen door, holding your stomach.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Your mom is a very lovely woman. She convinced to eat the cupcakes, that I’d never had anything. You were right. I’ll give you that much. Now she wants us to sit down, share the cake, have a chat, ya know, work out our differences.
{The Steeles giggle but quickly cover it up.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Whatta ya waiting for? Go on. Slice that bad boy up. I can’t wait to try it.
{Amy Jo Smyth starts to rub her stomach.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Stomach’s acting up, but, y’all, there is always room for cake.
{Kate Steele grabs a knife and quickly inserts it into the thing. As soon as she reaches the center, the entire thing explodes. A mess of cake, icing, glitter,and blue liquid flies everywhere, getting all over Kate and Todd, the most of it covering Kate. Kate screams, covers her eyes, drops the knife, and starts flailing around. Todd wipes the cake from his eyes and looks at Smyth. Smyth looks back at him, smiling.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Y’all think I’m that stupid? Really?
{Kate starts crying, moaning. Smyth moves forward, takes a carton of eggs off the counter.}
Kate Steele: I can’t see! Oh, my God, I can’t see!
Todd Steele: What - what did you do?
Amy Jo Smyth: Eye for an eye, Mr. Steele.
{Smyth takes out an egg and smashes it over the head of Todd before he can even react.}
Amy Jo Smyth: What’s the phrase? You got egg on your face?
{Todd cries, throwing his arms around. Smyth then throws an egg at Kate, nailing her in the head. She falls back, smacking into the counter, sending flour and sugar and sprinkles everywhere, including all over her. Smyth moves forward, starts throwing more flour, sugar, and eggs on Kate.}
Amy Jo Smyth: I’m making a cake. A Kate Cake!
{Smyth starts laughing and grabs a baking sheet. As Todd approaches her, she slams it over his head. He falls back, out cold. Kate gets to a standing position but slides on the mess on the floor. She reaches out for Smyth, but Smyth takes a hold of her hand, flips her around, and quickly wraps her arm around Kate’s neck.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Hush now, little baby. Don’t say a word. Momma’s gonna bake you a cake. Or, some shit like that.
{Kate slowly fades out, unconscious, and Smyth lets her fall to the floor. Smyth gives her a good kick to the ribs and then dumps the rest of the cake all over her. A large puddle of blue food coloring falls on on her face, turning her blue.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Now you really are Grover. Too bad it ain’t cookies, then you’d be the Cookie Monster.
{Momma Steele enters the room and her face instantly goes to one of shock and dismay.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Hey, sorry about your cake.
{Smyth laughs.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Really, though, I’m so sorry about your daughter and that you have to put up with her.
Momma Steele: No. No. I’m sorry.
{Momma Steele puts her hand over her mouth and shakes her head.}
Momma Steele: What’re we gonna do about this mess?
Amy Jo Smyth: Which one? Your daughter or the reason why I don’t bake?
Momma Steele: Both, I suppose.
{Amy Jo Smyth starts to walk toward the door, brushing off her hands.}
Momma Steele: I don’t know what happened, or when it happened, but this ain’t my daughter.
Amy Jo Smyth: It’s that hair dye. I’m tell ya, rots the brain.
Momma Steele: Here I thought it was too much sugar.
Amy Jo Smyth: Please, I live on sugar and caffeine.
{Momma Steele laughs and then stops. Smyth leaves the room, walking with a sense of pride.}
{Mackenzie Roberts is showing off her title when Kenzi Grey takes advantage of the situation and attacks Roberts from behind with a forearm smash. The title goes flying and the referee quickly calls for the bell. Grey punches Roberts all the way into the corner and once there, chokes Roberts with her foot as she uses the ropes for leverage. The referee fights with her to release but to no avail. That is until he threatens her with disqualification and Grey releases the choke. Kenzi then attempts to climb up the turnbuckle but can’t quite get any balance, winds up wrapping her legs around Roberts’ neck, and falling backward. Both of them crash to the mat but Grey rolls up to her feet.

Roberts can’t believe it and growls with anger. She lifts Kenzi, whips her into the corner, and when she comes bouncing out, hits with the Hero Kick. Roberts wastes no time in going for the cover. No count comes; the referee is distracted by the appearance of Miyoko Oshiro on the apron. Roberts spots Oshiro and the two start exchanging words. It doesn’t take long for Roberts to exit the ring and give chase. The referee starts the ten-count and Kenzi starts to stir.}
{Kenzi Grey sits in the ring, laughing at Mackenzie Roberts running around after Oshiro. Roberts is forced back into the ring by the count and as soon as she does, Grey grabs her by the leg, stands, and pulls off this strange side suplex. Roberts starts grabbing her knee, yelping in pain. Kenzi Grey continues laughing.}
{Alexis Blake appears now, hobbling down the entranceway toward the ring. Kenzi stands, holding her head and she starts yelling at Blake. Blake starts swinging the crutch under the ropes, trying to hit Grey. The referee doesn’t know what to do. Mackenzie Roberts climbs to her feet, favoring her knee but working it out.

{"Frontline" by Pillar begins and the fans jump to their feet as soon LAW Champion Gabby Camacho soon parts the curtain with the smile on her face and the LAW title over her shoulder. She calmly walks down the aisle and gets into the ring soon takes the mic}
Gabby: Que pasa San Antonio!
{Cheers.}
Gabby: I come to you tonight, and I fully realize that I'm am not invincible. I lost last month to Chacalita and I've just been shaking my head over it ever since. But I know a true champion, must recover from loss. So, I'm standing right here, to talk to the next in line for my LAW title. Keira Fisher
{Cheers for Keira.}
Gabby: Keira, I told you to handle your business, and you did. You want a shot at this, you got it. I know Megan already confirmed it, but I wanted you to hear it from my mouth. I'm ready for this fight at Queen of the Ring. And if you want this championship, you'd better be prepared to for the fight of your life.
{Cheers as, "The Phoenix hits and Keira soon walks out, a determined look on her face as she basically powerwalks to the ring. She soon takes the microphone as her music dies out.}
Keira: Gabby, I've waited for YEARS for this moment. I wanted this shot for a long time. *Keira sighs a bit as she says* Keira: I'm going to give you everything I got. All I ask from you is this. Do NOT hold back. I'm your friend. I understand. But, I do not want you to hold back on me. If you do, then I will be mad.
Gabby: As far I'm concerned, we're cool. But when this is on the line, we're not friends.
Keira: That...came out of nowhere. Did I piss you off?
Gabby: Keira, let's just be clear. I don't have any issues with you personally, but professionally, you are trying to take this from me. I do not take that lightly. If you think for one second I'm going to let a friendship stand in the way of being the LAW champion, you have another thing coming. I like you, I respect you, but this means the world to me. Just like I told Kate Steele, if you want to take this from me, you'd better be prepared to kill me to do it.
Keira: That's why I want you at your best, Gabby. You're right. You got something I've been wanting since day one. I only had one shot at it. I'm not anyone you faced in the past. I've got better, Gabby. I don't want to kill you. Killing is the easy way out. I'm sorry, Gabby. But in order for me to finally become Champion. Well...you know my motto. B.A.B.
{Keira sighs a bit.}
Keira: Either way. No matter what. Whoever wins...
{Keira points to the crowd.}
Keira: They win. Even you know that
Gabby: Lots of people have tried to break me Keira, and all of them have failed. And I hate to break it to you, but at Queen of the Ring, you will fail too.
Keira: Funny, people have said that to me too. That I'll fail. That the odds are against me. Funny, I love my odds. Gabby, don't take me lightly. Trust me. If you do, you'll be staring at the lights.
{Keira finishes with this.}
Keira: All roads lead to the final destination. Mine, is to become LAW Champion. Not just for me, but for my wife and my soon to be Son. I'll see you then.
{Keira softly drops the mic and exits the ring. She walks up the ramp, leaving Gabby there.}
{The match starts off even before the bell rings with Latoya Hixx pushing Wolverina. It barely affects the much bigger and stronger newcomer in Wolverina.

Wolverina goes the outside to retrieve Hixx and throws her back into the ring. As Wolverina tries to enter back into the ring, Hixx gives Wolverina a taste of her own medicine and knocks Wolverina off the apron. Hixx goes out and throws Wolverina back in the ring. Once inside the ring, Hixx wraps up Wolverina hold body scissors rear choke combo that sends them both crashing to the mat.

{We find ourselves backstage in the AT&T Arena in San Antonio, Texas. To be more precise, the scene opens up in the catering area. The Steele women have taken over the kitchen as there’s a special guest in the building tonight: the owner of the Steele Bakery chain, Kate’s very own Scottish mother, Gwendolyn Steele. Gwendolyn smiles as Kate stands next to her wearing an apron. Her hair colour of choice for tonight: Blonde. Gwendolyn stands there shaking her head in disgust as she looks at Kate.}
Gwendolyn: Kath-Lyn, what did I tell you about leaving that in the oven for so long?!
Kate Steele: Mom, I got it. Just relax!
Gwendolyn: No, you don’t… You know, pumpkin, if you actually paid attention when people are trying to help you, you wouldn’t be in as big of a mess as you are in now.
Kate Steele: Yes, mom!
Gwendolyn: Now where is that husband of yours…? Theodore?!
Teddy Steele: My name isn’t Theodore. Teddy is just a bloody nickname.
{Teddy stands just off screen, out of view.}
Gwendolyn: Why are you faking an accent? My daughter really has you that wrapped around her finger? I see she took after me.
{Gwendolyn chuckles.}
Teddy Steele: I am not a bitch boy!
Gwendolyn: Right… Less talking, more baking.
{Finally, Teddy walks into the scene. He wears an apron that reads, “Best Chef.” He smiles as he opens the oven, places some oven mitts on his hands, and pulls out a pan of cupcakes, and a huge scrumptious red velvet cake. Todd places the assortment on the counter and Kate’s eyes light up as Kate goes to stick her finger in the cake but she is instantly smacked away by her mother.}
Gwendolyn: Don’t touch. That is for our guest.
{Kate pulls away her hand and looks at it.}
Kate Steele: For who?
Gwendolyn: Amy Jo Smyth. Don’t you think she deserves a cake?
Kate Steele: Not your red velvet cake/ Look, mom, me and her don’t really get along. She kinda glitterbombed me and -
Gwendolyn: And you threw dye all over her! Which was cruel. You are better than that. Getting three people to take out one person.
{Momma Steele shakes her head in disappointment.}
Gwendolyn: Tonight, I want you to offer all of these to her as a peace offering, and you need to be apologetic for what you did. Do I make myself clear?
Kate Steele: Yes, mom!
Gwendolyn: Good. Now let’s have everything sit for a bit, cool. And when you are ready go reach out to her, you take this to her.
{Kate Steele turns so that her mother cannot see her roll her eyes. Todd gives his wife a wink.}
{As the bell sounds, the women dance around the ring and each other, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. Kate Bass and Hope Harris meet in the middle and lock up. Harris slides Bass into a side headlock but the spunky Bass fights back, wailing Harris in the ribs with multiple hard punches and throwing Harris into the ropes. Cali-Kate doesn’t reap the rewards when Hope Harris returns with a shoulder block for her. Harris lifts Bass to her feet and throws into the turnbuckle. Then into the next turnbuckle. Then the next one. In the final one, Kate Bass comes bouncing out and meets a powerful clothesline from Hope Harris. She hooks the legs but Bass throws up her shoulder easily.}

Bass catches her just right, takes flight, twirls, and hits Harris with the Comic-Kaze. Bass hooks the leg and gets the three.}
{Jamilyn Cornett is seen sitting down near the stage, apparently trying to calm herself before her impending match. Her eyes remain closed as her Pokemon Trainer costume draws more than a little unwanted attention.
From one woman in particular.
As she adjusts her legs, a shadow is cast above her, but while under most circumstances she'd have at least asked what they wanted, Jamilyn doesn't even acknowledge the other person.
Kenzi eyed Jamilyn, the expression on her face unreadable. After the last two weeks between them, she wasn’t even certain how to even begin a conversation. Instead of saying anything, she just plopped down beside the woman who had done everything in her power to make Kenzi love her…then shoved her aside for the amusement of her enemies. Anyone else would have been enraged at the callous woman, but Kenzi wasn’t…she was in love with her and had wanted nothing more than the best for Jamilyn Cornett. Kenzi forgave Jamilyn and tried to move on, but when circumstances again pushed them together, Jamilyn again told Kenzi that she loved her. Whether intentional or not, Kenzi theorized that this meant that Jamilyn was ready to be free of her Starpoint Girls…the only thing that was apparently keeping them apart. Kenzi sighed, looking down at her hands as she did.}
Kenzi Grey: I know you don’t want to be here…with me. Everything between us was a game for you…but it wasn’t for me. The last two weeks have been hell...and all I want is for it to stop. I want you to tell me that you don’t love me…so I can move on…
{She paused, looking over at Jamilyn with tears welling up in her eyes.}
Kenzi Grey: …if you don’t…if you keep up this lie…I don’t how much longer I’ll be able to endure it. I feel like I’m going crazy inside, don’t you get that?
JMC: It ain't that simple, Mackie....
{Jami could be heard sniffing.}
JMC: I know you want me to tell you I don't love you...but I can't. It may have started out as a scam...but I did fall in love with you. You and I have a lot in common, we both suffer the same psychosis...and if we'd gotten together before Juliana...maybe even before Taryn...it could have worked. It was just a wrong-place-wrong-time situation. You need to move on from me...go be with the woman who has been there for you through everything. Be with Tina, Mackie...for me at least.
{Jami looks over to Kenzi, and her blue eyes are sparkling with water.}
JMC: For what it's worth...I've not been right since that punch to the head from Alexis...so you need to get out of here before things get bad.
Kenzi Grey: Alexis? THIS ISN’T ABOUT ALEXIS BLAKE!
{Kenzi dropped her head and tears rolled down her face as her shoulders quivered and something inside her broke.}
Kenzi Grey: Why couldn’t you lie about loving me? YOU BITCH!! WHY COULDN’T YOU JUST LIE?!!
{Kenzi got to her feet, her entire body shivering as she confronted JMC, face to face.}
Kenzi Grey: I told you what would happen Jami…I TOLD YOU WHAT I’D DO!! YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME!! YOU CAN’T FORCE ME TO STOP LOVING YOU!!
{Jami tried not to look at Kenzi, not wanting to see the anguish on her face.}
JMC: Mackie…I can’t change, okay!
{Kenzi pulled at her hair as she paced back and forth, her hands becoming fists and pounding at her thighs. She stopped in front of JMC and knelt down in front of her, angrily wiping the tears from her face as she did. She took Jamilyn’s face into her hands, forcing her to look her in her eyes.}
Kenzi Grey: I’ll take them away Jami…all of them…I’d do it…don’t you believe me?! DON’T YOU?! I’VE DONE IT BEFORE WITH…
{JMC got to her feet, putting her own hands over Kenzi’s holding them there as she stared right back, her eyes glistening with tears.}
JMC: With Alex? Is that what you were going to say? The way you got rid of Hannah Paul? How did that end for you Mackie? How did that end for you and Alex? If you try to take away my girls…it won’t end the way you want it to…
{Kenzi glared at her in utter hurt and confusion.}
Kenzi Grey: Why?! Why won’t it?! TELL ME!!
{JMC paced back and forth, struggling with the words…how to say it…how to make her understand. There as only one way to do. She stopped, looking right at Kenzi.}
JMC: I’m addicted to it Mackie…I’m addicted to all of my girls…every one of them! I can’t stop…I tried with you…but I couldn’t stop! I knew that if I tried to stay…with you…only you…eventually the itch would come back and I’d hurt you Mackie…I’d hurt you again! That’s why you have to let me go.
{Kenzi stood there, searching her face for any sign of a lie, but she could find none. Jamilyn had been upfront about her problem, but Kenzi still wasn’t satisfied.}
Kenzi Grey: YOU NEED TO TRY AGAIN! YOU NEED TO TRY HARDER! I’LL HELP YOU JAMI…I’LL HELP YOU! If I get rid of them…if I get rid of all of them, then you’ll be free! Then you can give all of your love to just me!!
{JMC grabbed onto her hand, holding her there as she looked into her eyes.}
JMC: Mackenzie...
{Jami pulled the shaking Kenzi into her arms. For the first time Kenzi appears less like a raging fanatic and more like a lost and confused girl, the first time LAW fans have really seen her like this.}
JMC: Listen...I'm not saying I don't understand where you're coming from...but look at it from my view. I want to still be your friend even after all we've been through. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you...and I'm sorry I couldn't live up to the promises I made to you. But I can't shut off these feelings…these urges that I get when they come over me! I can’t control it Mackie…I tried…I tried to do it for you…but I couldn’t…so I said terrible things to drive you away. I told the entire world that it was all just a game…I said I never loved you to drive you away.
{Kenzi dropped her head, crying as she relived the moment when Jamilyn, Cali-Kate, and Jenny Tuck had all reveled in her emotional torture. The backlash had been immediate, but Kenzi forgave her, still proclaiming her love, but keeping her distance.}
JMC: Kenzi…I did that because I really DID love you…I thought that the hurt I caused you that night would be less than this…if you saw that I couldn’t stop, that I wouldn’t stop. I want to stop hurting you Mackie, I swear, it’s all I want to do…but…I need my girls, I need all of my girls. You refuse to be one of them…and that hurts me too…but I understand. I need you to understand…I need help…I want help…but I can’t be with you right now, even though you want it. You can never trust me…because I can’t trust myself…I’m sorry…I’m so sorry for everything…
{Kenzi stared at her, so many emotions passing by so quickly. Rage, devastation, hopelessness. Jamilyn held her tightly, rocking slowly back and forth.}
JMC: You deserve someone who can love you back the way you want. Someone to love just you. I want to be that person…I really do, but I can’t, no matter how hard I try, I can’t. Let me be there for you as a friend…that is all that I can give you…
{Jami moved back and kissed Kenzi on her forehead as she stepped away from her, possibly for the last time for all they knew.}
JMC: I have to get ready for my match....just....before I go....I'll understand if you can't be friends with me...I want to be....but I understand if we can't, okay Caramel?
{Jami waited for a response, but Kenzi just stood there, unmoving. She nodded, and turned to walk away. As she did, Kenzi ran up behind her, throwing her arms around her as she whispered in her ear.}
Kenzi Grey: …thank you…
{Kenzi kissed her on the cheek, then let her go…in every sense of the word, though both parted still parted with tears in their eyes.}
{The participants for this match were each accompanied by a member of the Grey family, with Bobbi London wheeling Sidney Grey down to ringside and Kenzi Grey accompanying Brittany Williams down to the ring. As both women stood at ringside with their respective Grey, it was apparent that this was much more than a simple Breakout Title Qualifier. Sidney Grey was directing Bobbi to injure Brittany Williams, the daughter of her first rival in LAW, Christina Millar. As both women entered the ring, the size difference was something to behold with nearly 200 pounds separating the two. Bobbi attempted to offer a good natured handshake, but Sidney would have none of it, telling the massive Aussie to maul the daughter of her former rival.
Bobbi went into pursuit mode as Brittany sped around the ring, avoiding Bobbi as she tried her best to keep her distance, but eventually she found herself trapped in the corner. Brittany tried to duck out of the way, but Bobbi caught her with one hand and lifted her into the air, sending her hard into the turnbuckles. Bobbi proceeded to lay in the heavy lumber on her diminutive target as she tried to cover up. As she hit the mat, Bobbi let up for a moment, only to have Sidney scream for her to stomp her out. Bobbi reluctantly began driving her heavy foot down on Brittany like a rapid-fire piston, hammering her into the canvas. The referee administered the 5 count as Brittany was clinging to the ropes for dear life. As Bobbi backed off on the count of 4, Kenzi pulled Brittany out of the ring and down to the floor as she attempted to help the girl collect herself.
Sidney wheeled herself around the ringside area, lambasting her daughter as she told her to put Brittany back into the ring. Kenzi refused as she put herself between them, but Bobbi reached through the ropes and grabbed Brittany by her hair and pulled her up and back into the ring, slamming her hard to the mat. Bobbi picked Brittany up and pressed her over her head, but Brittany fought out and managed to slip down behind the big Aussie. Brittany fired a hard forearm into Bobbi that hardly phased her then she fired another and another. Bobbi took a step back then bowled over Brittany with a standing clothesline as she charged forward. Bobbi stood over her and started to go for the pin, but again Sid screamed for her to stay on the attack. Bobbi picked up Brittany and slammed her down. Bobbi built up a head and steam, rebounded off the ropes and leapt high into the air, dropping a massive leg drop.
Bobbi bounced off the empty canvas as Brittany rolled out of the way at the last possible moment. Kenzi screamed for Brittany to go on the attack as she started laying in hard kicks. As Bobbi weathered the blows and started to get up, Brittany hit the ropes and nailed her with “The Boom Headshot” round kick that knocked the off balance behemoth over and sent her rolling onto her back. Brittany wasted no time rebounding off the ropes with a springboard lionsault nailing Bobbi with the “Stay Down Noob.” Brittney goes right into the pin as the referee counts…ONE…TWO…THR…
Bobbi launches Brittany off of her, sending the much smaller woman flying halfway across the ring. Bobbi rolled to her feet, pounding the mat in anger. Brittany climbed the turnbuckle and launched herself at Bobbi with a flying crossbody block, but Bobbi caught her in midair, then readjusted as she sent Brittany crashing to the mat with an exploder suplex. The smaller woman hit the mat hard and immediately rolled out of the ring. Bobbi moved quickly going right after Brittany, only to find Kenzi blocking her path to buy her friend some time to recover. As Kenzi and Bobbi exchanged words, Sidney Grey wheeled herself over, approaching the still shaken Brittany from behind. A roar went up from the crowd as Wolverina ran down the ramp and put herself between Sidney and Brittany, warning the aging star against interfering as the crowd cheered.
Bobbi picked Kenzi up and sat her aside as she grabbed Brittany and tossed her through the ropes and back into the ring. She stopped as she faced off with Wolverina, warning her away from Sidney, then going back into the ring, still watching after her crippled employer. Sidney screamed directions at her and cursed at Wolverina and the fans. Bobbi was ready to end the match quickly as she grabbed the nearly lifeless Brittany and perched her on her shoulders, carrying her to the corner as she climbed up to the second turnbuckle, then positioned her for a super fall-away slam as Sidney continued to egg her on. Wolverina, having heard enough, grabbed Sidney’s chair and started pushing her away from ringside and back up the ramp as the fans cheered and Bobbi yelled for her to bring her employer back. The distraction was enough for Brittany to start to fight wiggle knocking Bobbi off balance, causing her to fall with the much smaller woman landing right on top of her. The referee dove in for the count as Kenzi reached into the ring and held Bobbi’s feet from the outside, dangling off the floor as she used all of her weight to prevent the kick out as the referee counted; ONE! TWO! THREE!
Brittany scrambled out of the ring and fell right into the arms of her Kenzi. Kenzi held Brittany, who was barely able to stand as Bobbi sat up with a look of shock on her face and Wolverina stopped pushing Sidney, taking the time to wink at the woman and clap her hands as she walked away, satisfied with the result. Kenzi helped Brittany to the back, smirking at her mother as Brittany gave her the finger while then walked pass. Sidney screamed in anger as Bobbi rolled out of the ring, apologizing to her employer.
The action turned to the announce team…}
Troy Franklin: Not the most impressive win for Brittany Williams, but it is a win none-the-less thanks in large part to Kenzi Grey and newcomer Wolverina who settled a score with Sidney Grey tonight!
Duke King: Troy, don’t minimize what B-Brat was able to do out there against a monster of a woman who should have beaten her in under a minute! Tonight, Brittany Williams solidified herself as the top contender in the Breakout Tournament for me!
Troy Franklin: Do you even listen to yourself talk?
Duke King: No I don’t Troy!
{Troy rolled his eyes.}
Troy Franklin: This match is in the books but we are going to see Kenzi Grey in action later tonight taking on Mackenzie Roberts in a non-title match. You have to wonder how this will affect any support she was hoping to have from her mother or Bobbi London. She may be on her own out there…Brittany Williams looks to be in no condition to accompany anyone!
Duke King: Kenzi Grey is a machine inside that ring…she doesn’t need help to win matches!
Troy Franklin: She needs miracles Duke…and there are none on the horizon for her! Folks, we will be right back after this commercial break!
{Kate Steele holds a tray of freshly fried pink frosted donuts, complete with rainbow sprinkles as she stands in front of Amy Jo Smyth’s locker room door. She can’t help but grin evilly as she knocks on the door and waits patiently for somebody to answer. The door opens, Amy Jo Smyth sees who’s standing there, and quickly slams the door. }
Amy Jo Smyth: Fuck off.
{Kate, however, begins to grow upset. Steele is done being polite and motions to Teddy, who stands with her, holding a tray of cupcakes in his hands. She whispers something to him and it isn’t long before he cracks a grin.}
Teddy Steele: Don’t worry, babe, I made this batch with laxatives in it. IF she wants to play games with you, she’s going to pay for it. We will make her shit her brains out. Hopefully right in the middle of her match, too.
{Kate smiles in return as she decides to open the door as she looks inside with the tray of donuts in her hand.}
Kate Steele: Listen here, AJS, or whatever wanna you call yourself. I made some nice, delicious donuts. Look, it’s your favourite, too. Pink frosting with sprinkles but you weren’t nice. These delicious donuts gone to waste just like… I don’t know… THAT!
{Kate drops the tray as she makes all of the donuts fall on the floor as Teddy walks inside with the tray of cupcakes in his hand. Smyth just stands there, watching, stone-faced, unmoved, and a lot unimpressed but very much alert.}
Teddy Steele: Way to be rude, bae. Listen up, Amy Jo Smyth. I know we didn’t really have the best first meeting, we’ve had our differences, but I want to make that up to you. With these warm, freshly baked cupcakes. Please take them as a peace offering.
{Teddy puts the tray down on the dressing table against the wall. Smyth looks at them, then back at Smyth.}
Amy Jo Smyth:Y’all done?
{Smyth folds her arms in front of her chest.}
Kate Steele: Enjoy them. They were made by my mom, a professional baker.
{Smyth nods.}
Teddy Steele: Her mom… Hm. She makes the best red velvet cake around. You never had anything like that.
Amy Jo Smyth: Great. Thanks for that fascinating bit of information. It will surely come in handy one day in the land of I don’t give a shit.
Todd Steele: You should try it. Those are the best damn cupcakes you’re ever gonna have.
Amy Jo Smyth: Please leave before I remove you.
{Kate Steele makes an upturned face and makes a sound. Teddy Steele stares at Amy Jo through tight eyes.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Y’all that stupid? Are you looking for me to drown you in the toilet?
{Kate turns on her heel and exits. Teddy follows slowly, never taking his eyes off Smyth as he does.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Manners don’t cost, Ms. Steele! Rude as fuck.
{Smyth slams the door behind them.}
{Jamilyn Cornett’s music could be heard playing in the backstage area as Alexis Blake approached the Gorilla Position with fire in her eyes, ready to take down the Coldfire Phoenix. As she stood there, she was approached by Kenzi Grey, still looking distraught and shattered after the dissolution of her ‘exclusive relationship’ with Jamilyn.}
Kenzi Grey: Alexis…I need to talk to you!
{Alexis whirled around on Kenzi, more than ready for a fight.}
Alexis Blake: I TOLD YOU TO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!!
{Kenzi held up her hands.}
Kenzi Grey: Look…I know this thing between you and me isn’t settled…but this thing between you and Jami…it needs to be over, okay? I had a talk with her a few minutes ago…it explains everything. She’s sick Alexis…she has an addiction and she can’t hel…
Alexis Blake: Do you think I’m stupid?! EVERYONE CAN SEE THAT YOU DUMB BITCH!! But I’m going to beat her ass for what she did to me…feel free to watch!! You’re going to be next!!
{Alexis turned to head through the curtain as her theme music began to play. Kenzi grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, angrily pointing up at the much taller star.}
Kenzi Grey: ALEXIS, JAMI IS SICK!! YOU NEED TO JUST LET THIS GO, OKAY?!
{Alexis’ temper flared as she shoved Kenzi back, sending her stumbling back into the wall. Alexis pointed right back at her.}
Alexis Blake: LAST WARNING BITCH!!
{Alexis turned to head out to the ring, but Kenzi sprang to her feet, charging after Alexis. At the last moment, Kenzi went down and fell right into the back of Alexis’ leg, causing it to buckle awkwardly as she floor screaming in pain. Kenzi got to her feet quickly with her hands going nervously to her head as she looked around and saw the cameraman right behind her along with a few shocked looking staffers.}
Kenzi Grey: OH MY GOD! GET SOME HELP! ALEXIS HAD AN ACCIDENT! CALL A TRAINER OR A DOCTOR! GO! GO!
{Alexis continued to hold her leg as she cursed at Kenzi, using words so foul that in conjunction with the beeped language her mouth had to be pixilated. Kenzi paced back and forth trying to calm her down.}
Kenzi Grey: I’M SORRY…IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! I SLIPPED…I SWEAR!!
{Alexis lunged for Kenzi causing the reality star to have to jump back to escape.}
Alexis Blake: I WILL KILL YOU!! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I’LL KILL YOU!!
{Kenzi continued to apologize until help arrived and Kenzi was escorted out of the area. The scene turned to the announcer’s table as Troy and Duke watched what happened from their desk monitor.}
Troy Franklin: Well…thanks for Kenzi Grey this match is off and Alexis Blake might be seriously hurt! There has to be some punishment for what she just did!!
Duke King: WHOA!! Easy Troy…we both saw what happened there, Kenzi slipped and fell into Alexis Blake’s leg! It was a total accident! Hell…if anything, Alexis assault Kenzi first…per her usual M.O.! She’s the one that should get punished here!
Troy Franklin: Are you HIGH?!! Kenzi did not want this match to happen and now…IT’S NOT HAPPENING!!
Duke King: It was an ACCIDENT!!
{Troy throws up his hands in frustration.}
Troy Franklin: Folks, we’ll update you on the status of Alexis Blake as soon as we can. Please stand by as we try to get the show back on track!
{After commercial, the scene cuts back to Jamilyn Cornett and Cali-Kate. Jamilyn is visibly frustrated, still upset over what happened earlier in the night, while Kate is moving her arms, preparing for her match.}
JMC: I’m just so pissed right now! With everything going on, this was my one chance to show I could still be taken seriously as a wrestler, and now I don’t even have that! Oh, Amy Jo is gonna have a FIELD DAY with this!
Kate: Yeah, but that wasn’t your fault, Jamibug. You apologized to Kenzi and made up with her, you showed up tonight, they can’t ask much more of you than that.
JMC: Yeah, sure, asking for a match, getting it booked, and then the match never getting to happen. Between this and the last few weeks, I don’t think this can POSSIBLY get any worse.
?: Excuse me!
{A stagehand approaches the two.}
Stagehand: Miss Cornett, the GM’s been looking for you for a while now. You’re to see her in her office right away.
JMC: Okay….I’ll be right there.
{The stagehand points down the hall.}
Stagehand: Third door to your right. Try not to keep her waiting too long...she didn’t seem like she was in a pleasant mood.
{The stagehand walks away as Jami sighs.}
JMC: (muttering) I must have been excruciatingly cruel to puppies in a previous life….
Kate: Do you need me to tag along?
JMC: No….I think I know what this is about...you go ahead and get to your match.
Kate: Okay...I’ll see you backstage, right?
JMC: Assuming I still have a job by the end of the night...the way my luck--
Kate: Jami...that’s the kind of talk she expects. You gotta think more positive than that.
JMC: (taking a deep breath) You're right, Katiekat. You go ahead, I’ll catch up later.
{The two girls share a quick kiss before Kate rushes off to the ring. Jami, meanwhile, heads toward MHK’s office, not exactly knowing what to expect, but preparing for the worst case scenario. Cornett comes to the temporary office door of L.A.W general manager, Megan Helms-Helms-King. She knocks and takes in a deep breath as she waits.}
MHK: It's open.
{Cornett opens the door slowly, peering in carefully. In the office, Helms-King is sitting at a desk, reviewing what looks to be legal paperwork. Jami stands behind the chair in front of the desk, her hands clasped in front of her, her posture straight.}
JMC: You wanted to see me, Megan?
{Helms-King looks up.}
MHK: Ms. Cornett. Sit.
{Helms-King points to the chair as she shuffles around some paperwork and removes her glasses, places them on the desk. Cornett wastes little time, sitting down in the chair, her hands on her thighs. She takes a deep breath and looks to Helms-King with almost a blank face, as if not sure what to expect at this point.}
MHK: Why do you think I wanted to see you, Jamilyn?
JMC: To discuss my actions the last few weeks, of which I have been making amends for. I regret everything I’ve done, and I’m sorry for all the peop--
{Helms-King puts up her open palm.}
MHK: I'm gonna stop you there… This has got to stop. You're adult, Jamilyn. It's time to grow up. You cocked up. Big time. There are consequences that long-winded apologies and self-deprecation will not fix.
{Cornett nodded with understanding.}
JMC: With all due respect, had I been allowed to finish, I would have said that I was sorry for all the people I hurt, and I’m willing to accept any and all consequences. You’re right, Megan… I am an adult. And an adult accepts the consequences of their actions, no matter how severe they might be.
MHK: Jamilyn, I cut you off because I don't want your apology nor explanation. Nobody does. I have zero desire to hear it. Mainly because your past apologies and so-called moments of clarity and maturity have been vapid. You don't listen well, do you? Does anything reach you?
{Cornett sits for a moment, as if she is a child thinking back on what she did wrong, but shakes her head and snaps out of it.}
JMC: Amy Jo was starting to - before I ruined it.
MHK: And what else are you willing to ruin? Because you're well on your way to ruining your career in L.A.W. and bloody fuckton of relationships and these young girls’ - these Starpoint Girls’ lives. Do you ever think before you do? Think of others? It's pretty clear you haven't been thinking about yourself.
{Cornett’s face starts to show signs of irritation as her nostrils flare up a bit.}
JMC: You don’t think I’m aware of that? Tonight was supposed to be my way of getting back on track, of showing I was more than a body. That got ruined because of actions I caused. And as for thinking of others, well considering everything I’ve been trying to do for my friends, I’d say I think of others a lot more than I think of myself. I don’t think I’m ruining their lives; if anything I’m trying to keep them from ending up like me.
{Helms-King rubs her eyes.}
MHK: You're not getting it. These girls are fighting for your attention. That's all they care about, think about, want for. Forgive my wording here, but you've got them on a leash. They deserve better than that, then fighting for your attention. You deserve better than having to play savior or pretending to play savior to these girls. They need real love. While you're off being the knight in white armor to these dozens of girls, you have no time for yourself, to work on yourself, to love yourself. AJ told you this and I wholeheartedly agree, you are substituting these girls for a love you need to give yourself and in them distracting yourself. At the same time, you're letting your career in the ring go sideways for them, for whatever pursuit you have there.
{Cornett folded her arms, her mouth going to one side of her face.}
JMC: And you’re automatically assuming these girls aren’t already with themselves? Several of them don’t even care if I’m there half the time, they have their own relationships going on. I don’t understand where you keep trying to tell me that I don’t love myself and require these girlfriends in order to function...
MHK: You just proved my point there. They don't care if you're around and they have other relationships. You're getting sometimes attention and that's good enough for you. That's not a relationship. I have no problem with polyamory, but that's just… That's not how it works. That's more a fuckbuddy or a… When it's convenient situation. You think that's what you're worth so that's what you take. You don't know your worth, Jamilyn. You don't love yourself to know what it is and how it should make you feel. You deserve better. You deserve to be the most important thing, the first thing in your lover’s life. But you don't ask for more, you don't - you don't think you're important enough to be first, you don't put yourself first so no one else does.
{Megan sighs heavily, looks at Jamilyn through the eyes of a mother.}
MHK: You deserve to be happy. This can't possibly make you happy.
{Megan pauses, recoups.}
MHK: I'm still your boss, however. Mr. Dupree said it clear as day that the excessive… Hooking up needs to cease so work on that, okay? But the major issue here is that you're not well. Everyone can see it. You cannot focus on getting well if you're wrapped up in that nonsense. Let's get to the bottom line here, Jamilyn. You need help.
{Megan Helms-King picks up, puts on her glasses and pulls papers in front of her.}
MHK: Jamilyn, how well do you know this Drake guy? The lawyer?.
{Cornett, however, temporarily ignores MHK to address the other point she made.}
JMC: As for my career, I’ve had one match since I signed with this company. I wasn’t booked a couple weeks ago, and tonight’s match got scrapped because my opponent didn’t make it to the ring. I’m sorry, but to say my personal life is affecting my career when I’ve only been truly booked once in two months’ time is a bit of a stretch and overestimating what I’ve been able to do since I signed back at Validation. I WANT a chance to prove myself. I WANT the opportunities to expand what I can do here and at this point, I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get to that point.
{Cornett lowers her hands and puts them on the arm of the chair.}
JMC: Drake… Used to be a longtime family friend of ours. It’s because of him I even got out of that rapist stepfather’s house to even try to be normal. At least, that’s what I thought.
MHK: Well, after his little exploit this week… I'm not sure he's got your best interest in mind. On top of that, I went through your contract again with the intention of making changes with my lawyers - which were made - and there were a number of, let's call them inconsistencies that were noticed. They've been corrected, however, and don't worry about them. I would suggest that you find new legal representation, though.
{Helms-King hands Cornett a copy of the contract. Cornett looks it over and starts making faces as if she’s trying to process what she’s reading. Megan chuckles.}
JMC: Drake’s already been fired. I don’t trust anyone willing to do what he did. And I see that my paycheck has been reinstated…
MHK: Your paycheck was never not instated. We were paying you. Well, your check went to that teen thing but we've decided that it'd be best to pay you directly at this point and time.
JMC: Fair enough. But there are a few things I’m not sure I understand. Like this here.
{Cornett points to a particular clause on the contract.}
JMC: I have no idea what this means at all.
MHK: Honey, I can't see what you're pointing at from all the way over here. What does it say?
JMC: Something about a ‘mental health program’. I mean, I knew I was a few coins shy of a 1UP, and I had been doing counseling...until last LAW, when my recovery made me skip the last few sessions.
MHK: What is a one-up?
{Cornett looks up at her confused. Megan looks back at her just as confused.}
JMC: I’mma take a wild guess you’re not familiar with video games that much…
MHK: My daughter plays them but in my day, we went outside and it wasn't just to find Pokemon with our phones.
{Megan looks Cornett up and down, gives her a short stare. Cornett looks down and chuckles a bit, suddenly remembering she’s in her Pokemon White Trainer gear, hence Megan’s mention of Pokemon.}
JMC: In all fairness, I’m not big on that app myself. Basically, I knew I wasn’t fully okay in the head, but I thought I’d been doing pretty well considering the circumstances. The last few weeks have really been my biggest challenge up to this point, but now that I’m back on my medication, I should be--
MHK: Here we go again with the long speeches. Jamilyn, it is now mandated that you go weekly therapy sessions in order for you to work in LAW. It's for the best. For you, especially.
{Cornett nods and reaches for a pen to sign the new contract almost instantly.}
MHK: You need to put you first and this is first step toward that. You've got a lot of things to overcome and this will help.
{Cornett looks up to Megan with a deadpan look in her eyes.}
JMC: If I had any arguments to that, I’d have already walked out the door.
{Cornett opens the pen and writes her name and initials on the lines required and hands the contract back to Helms-King without incident.}
JMC: I’ll call my counselor first thing Monday to restart my sessions. If need be, I’ll provide documentation of my visits.
MHK: No need. I've already been in touch with with your therapist. The two of us will have weekly chats about your progress. Nothing personal, just that you're going and that you're working toward changes. For as much as a mother likes to know what's going on in her child's life, she also knows when they need space and privacy. My only interest is that you're getting well.
{Cornett nods, her eyes starting to water up.}
JMC: Maybe if I had a mother like you in the first place, I wouldn’t need this to begin with. But okay. I’ll go to the therapy sessions. I do have a lot that I need to work on.
MHK: We all do. It's just a matter of knowing when we need help doing it.
{Cornett nods and stands up, beginning to walk to the door, when she stops about half way. She turns back to Helms-King.}
JMC: For what it’s worth… Some of what AJ said stuck. Just in the wrong way. Hopefully this will help me understand what she truly meant. No matter what she does or says….she’s still one of the best friends I’ve ever had.
MHK: You may not believe it, but she really does have your best interest at heart. She just… She's rough around the edges. If you knew more about her, you'd understand why. But, I'll let her know you said that.
JMC: Somehow...I think I already do understand. Thank you.
MHK: She's a hard egg to crack.
JMC: She’s not the only one.
MHK: Thank you for your time, Jamilyn.
{Cornett shook her head.}
JMC: No...thank you for caring enough to push back. I think I needed that more than anything this week.
MHK: Momma takes care of her cubs. Even if they don't like it.
{Megan winks at Jamilyn, who giggles a bit in return.}
JMC: You sound like my stepmother...who I owe a big apology to now.
MHK: Might wanna get on that, like the first thing you do when you get outta this office.
JMC: Two steps ahead of you on that.
MHK: Cheers, kid.
{With that, Cornett resumes her walk out of the office, not exactly somber, but seemingly more calm than she had been going in.}
{“Gimme Your Applause” by Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, & Christina Aguilera begins to play as lightbulbs flash all through the arena. Kenzi walks out, not her usual cheerful self. This time see is accompanied by Dani Chow, her Publicist and Attorney as she headed to the ring with a folder under her arm.}[/font]
Troy Franklin: And here we go…what is this all about?!
Duke King: Couldn’t tell you Troy, but it looks serious!
Troy Franklin: I doubt that…
{Kenzi and Dani get into the ring as Beth Harris hands them a microphone.}
Kenzi Grey: Hello San Antonio…
{The fans boo her, despite the mention of their hometown.}
Kenzi Grey: I’m sorry…I don’t have any jokes for you people tonight because there is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed…and I…I…
{Kenzi suddenly seems overcome with emotion and Dani consoles her and then takes the microphone to continue to address everyone.}
Dani Chow: Ladies and gentlemen…this past Thursday the owner of LAW, Mr. Lucas Dupree put out a press release concerning the negative press that LAW has received surrounding the on-going ups and downs surrounding the relationship between Jamilyn Cornett and my client, Ms. Kenzi Grey. Now…we completely understand that Mr. Dupree would be upset at any negative press that the company receives and we totally believe that he should take action when it is warranted…however…his statement crossed the line and it has caused Ms. Grey personal distress and harmed her reputation!
{Troy looked at Duke in confusion.}
Troy Franklin: What is she talking about?
Duke King: Just wait…I’m sure you’ll find out!
{Kenzi continued to fight back tears as Dani consoled her.}
Dani Chow: Lucas Dupree posted an official statement in which he declared, as a statement of fact…the following, and I quote; “…but the fact that Ms. Grey, and Ms. Cornett continue to try and form relationships and be increasingly promiscuous is appalling and completely over the line.”
{Dani stopped as Kenzi burst into tears, forcing the woman to embrace her to calm her down. Dani continued to hold Kenzi as she went on.}
Dani Chow: Mr. Dupree crossed the line when he stated as FACT that my client was being increasingly promiscuous. In essence…the owner of this company slandered my client by referring to her as a whore in an official LAW press statement!
Troy Franklin: WHAT?!!
{The crowd immediately began to chant; WHORE! WHORE! WHORE! This immediately cause Kenzi to cry even harder. Dani did her best to console Kenzi before again addressing the issue.}
Dani Chow: It’s unfortunate that LAW has taken this hurtful and unfair action against my client, but the consequences of their actions have been even more damaging than they know! This poor girl is anything but promiscuous and has been forced to endure an endless stream of harassment because of the baseless comments made by Mr. Lucas…as it concerns Ms. Grey! The General Manager of LAW expressed concern over the harassment…but demanded that proof be provided to her of this harassment…
{Dani held up the envelope she was carrying.}
Dani Chow: Since last Thursday, my client has received exactly 1,959 explicit images of genitalia sent to her in conjunction with requests for sexual liaisons! My client is a public figure and these false allegations against her have made her a virtual recluse! She can’t go anywhere without being harassed or being followed, being constantly propositioned for sex! This is a young vulnerable woman and the actions of Lucas Dupree…reckless and inaccurate have put Ms. Grey at great personal risk! LAW needs to be accountable for their actions!
{“Just like Fire” starts up and LAW General Manager Megan Helms-King walks down the aisle with a stern look on her face and a microphone in hand.}[/font]
Megan Helms-King: STOP! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!
{The fans cheered as MHK climbed the steps and entered the ring.}
Megan Helms-King: Ms. Chow or whatever you claim your name is, that will be enough of this! You may represent Ms. Grey, but you are not a member of LAW, so you will not get into a LAW ring and spout propaganda! When Ms. Grey made those claims of harassment I told her to provide it to me for verification…because, let’s be honest…she has been known to bend the truth!
{The fans cheered as Dani opened the envelope and started pulling out screen shot after screen shot and handing them to MHK. The cameras were forced to pixilate the graphic images as she did.}
Dani Chow: From Chick_Magnet469; “Hey Kenzi, since you like getting the D…why don’t you send me a picture of your giant P?!
{She held up the picture then handed it to MHK.}
Dani Chow: From POON_GOD; You is a slut…praise Poon God’s mighty staff…you is a slut…suck it!
{She handed over the picture and pulled out another and frowned as she looked at it.}
Dani Chow: From Clown_F*cker19485. Wait…before I read this, I didn’t know that were that many people who wanted the name Clown_F*cker! Anyway…they wrote; Kenzi Grey, you are a giant hoe…how many clowns can fit inside your giant pu…
{MHK snatches the picture out of Dani’s hands and then the envelope as well.}
Megan Helms-King: THAT WILL BE ENOUGH!
{MHK flips through the envelope, shaking her head in disgust at the pictures inside. She closes it and looks at Kenzi.}
Megan Helms-King: Kenzi…was this all sent to you after Thursday’s announcement? Please be honest?
Dani Chow: Ms. King I…
Megan Helms-King: One more word and I’ll have you thrown out! Kenzi…answer me!
{Kenzi peeled away from Dani, taking the microphone away from her as tears continued to roll down her cheeks.}
Kenzi Grey: I NEVER DID ANYTHING TO DESERVE BEING CALLED PROMISCUOUS BY LUCAS DUPREE!! I’M NOT A WHORE!! HE SHOULDN’T HAVE CALLED ME THAT!!
{MHK sighed, shaking her head.}
Megan Helms-King: That was not what the statement said. He was only referring to the situation. It wasn’t a personal attack on you or anyone else.
Kenzi Grey: I’m not a whore…
{The crowd immediately began chanting; WHORE! WHORE! WHORE! Kenzi ran into Dani’s arms, covering her face as the fans insults bore down on her. MHK looked around at the crowd and while she wasn’t convinced that either of them were telling the truth, the shouts from the fans couldn’t be ignored. She gestured for silence and after a moment or two, they settled down.}
Megan Helms-King: What do you want? Are you trying to sue the company, because if you are, you can think again! We have our own…
{Dani raised her hand to stop her as she took the microphone from Kenzi, making sure it was okay to speak. MHK rolled her eyes then gestured for her to go ahead.}
Dani Chow: Kenzi loves this business and she loves LAW. That being said, she doesn’t feel that LAW has had her best interests at heart. This just highlights a continuing pattern of LAW trying to push her from its ranks. Perhaps if she were given an opportunity to show that she’s more than what Mr. Dupree falsely reduced her to…then maybe she could take advantage and start to heal. Perhaps something small…like…an opportunity to challenge for the Chaos Championship!
{The crowd groaned and MHK shook her head with a smirk on her face.}
Megan Helms-King: Do you think for one moment that a bunch of pornographic pictures and a trumped up story are going to be enough to buy your way into a title shot? I DON’T THINK SO!
{The fans roared and clapped, but MHK wasn’t done.}
Megan Helms-King: In LAW, opportunities are earned and not handed over through extortion! Tonight, Ms. Grey has an opportunity against the Marquee Champion. Should she win that match…maybe there could be a conversation about possible title contention, but it WILL NOT HAPPEN RIGHT NOW!
{The fans roared and cheered.}
Troy Franklin: Good for MHK! She has moxie! I like it!
Duke King: She’s ignoring the fact that Kenzi is being harassed because of the LAW press statement! This is terrible!
{MHK folded her arms, her expression softening.}
Megan Helms-King: Ms. Grey…I sincerely believe that you do need help and I think that it is the responsibly of LAW to ensure that you receive it. I am directing that you receive regular therapy sessions at the expense of the company. These sessions will be recorded and your progress will be provided to me and me alone so that I can personally monitor your improvement. But I warn you…if I do not see any change…we will consider every option, including termination of your contract. Do you understand?
{Kenzi pulled away and looked at MHK, sniffing and wiping her eyes. Suddenly she ran at MHK and threw her arms around her, nearly knocking her off balance. MHK looked surprised and slightly annoyed, but she accepted the show of affection as acceptance. She narrowed her eyes at Dani and gestured for the woman to leave the arena as she escorted Kenzi to the back.}
Troy Franklin: Well…Kenzi tried to extort a title match out of LAW, but the General Manager saw right through that attempt and gave her therapy instead! Good for her!
Duke King: EXTORTION?! Kenzi has been harassed and you heard it here from the fans tonight! LAW is lucky it didn’t get sued! And as for the ‘so-called’ extortion, MHK didn’t say no to Kenzi getting a title opportunity…she said that a win tonight would put her in the conversation.
Troy Franklin: Well…she’d have to beat Mackenzie Roberts first…and I can’t see that happening! She better stick with getting mentally healthy first!
Duke King: We’ll see Troy…
Troy Franklin: Folks, we’ll be right back!
{The bell sounds and both Amy and Lightning step in to meet each other at the middle of the ring. They start things off with a friendly handshake then go about circling one another until Lightning makes the first move in gripping her arms around Amy's waist and stepping in behind suplexing her down to the canvas. Ignis cheers her on from the outside as Lightning looks to continue the assault bringing Amy up and burying a knee into her gut. Smyth coughs out as the Welsh Suplex Girl makes good on her name delivering up a standard plex dropping Amy back first this time. Lightning follows up with a pinning attempt only to score a one count.
Once more Lightning goes to bring Amy up but the Jersey native isn't having it this time as she grips hold of Lightning's wrists, puts a boot to her gut and sends her up and over with a monkey flip. Lightning is quick to her feet but Amy is quicker as she collides through the former tag champ with a hard hitting clothesline. Amy doesn't waste any time in bringing Lightning to a vertical base so she can light up her chest with a few knife edge chops. Amy then presses Lightning to the ropes and sends her running across to the other side catching her with a sleeper hold slowing the momentum of the match down to a crawl. Despite Lightning's best efforts, Amy simply refuses to let go of the hold as soon Lightning begins to fade. The ref goes in to check dropping her arm once...twice...but that's it as Lightning powers back out much to the adulation of her partner.
Lightning battles back with a few well places elbow shots into Amy's gut breaking free of the hold before hitting some nearby ropes for momentum coming in with a stiff forearm shot across Amy's jaw. Amy doesn't go down though as she only staggers back. Lightning continues her assault clubbing a blow across the back of Amy who soon pushes her away and quickly kicks in a back flipping pele kick. The crowd is left stunned before Amy comes in with a sudden Super Kick to finish the deal and earn herself a pinfall victory.}
{The cameras come into focus and as they do we are taken to the backstage area. The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to the sight of Zelda Knite and she is wearing a Kansas JayHawks basketball jersey. She is holding a microphone in her hands as she smiles.}
Zelda Knite: “Hello everyone this is Zelda Knite… Better half of EMF… FIRST EVER LAW TAG TEAM CHAMPiON! And tonight I guess that makes me an interviewer! But tonight we aren’t here today to talk about achievements but we are here on the road to Crystal’s redemption. We are here to watch Crystal clean her mess up after that disgusting train wreck.”
Crystal Millar: “Wow why don’t you keep burying me some more why don’t you?! Some best friend you are!”
Zelda Knite: “Sorry I am not Wendy House… I am not the one with the shovel… ANYWAY after being massacred by a bunch of goombas that are in the form of her ex husband, ex sister in law, and even her own little flesh and blood. Our young heroine… Who has lied about her age…”
Crystal Millar: “IT’S ONLY 1 YEAR Z… 1 YEAR!!!”
Zelda Knite: “Right… The same woman who will be turning 30 this year but will have you believe she’s turning 29… Has no idea where her husband is nor we don’t even know if he wants her back. But one thing I do know… There’s only one man on this planet who can get under Crystal’s skin enough that he might actually light something up within her and make her productive. A man who has made it a habit or tormenting Crystal to no end, but he’s the only man who can actually make her look good. Trust me I tried for the past six months… After all the beatdowns she can be someone else’s problem… But that man is none other than DANIEL POLLASKI!!! So… We are looking to get him to take Crystal on as a client again. To bring her to the promised land so she wouldn’t be ousted in the first round like those Spartans... “
Crystal Millar: “STOP WITH THE LOW BLOWS… SPARTY DID NOTHING TO YOU!”
Zelda Knite: “Now we are standing out here right outside Wendy House’s locker room. We saw Wendy leave it a while ago but we know Daniel is in there… So consider this the Dan for Crystal’s manager 2016 campaign and it starts right now!”
{Crystal seems nervous as she shows herself on the camera. She grimaces as she holds a sign upwards that reads “I Need Dan In My Life 2015…” While Zelda holds up a “Polla Bear 4 Crystal Manager 2016” They walk back and forth in front of the door. As Crystal looks at her Washington Huskies shirt that she has on.}
Crystal Millar: “I can’t wear this… This is just bad…”
Zelda Knite: “Just follow the script!”
Crystal Millar: “... Dan Dan HE’S OUR MAN… HE’S THE MANAGER WITH A PLAN… D A N… D A N… THAT’S HOW IT’S SPELLED… AND WHEN IT COMES TO COLLEGE FOOTBALL IT’S ALL ABOUT THE PAC TWEL…. I CAN’T SAY IT Z… I JUST CAN’T….”
Zelda Knite: “ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK… ROCK CHALK JAY HAWK!”
Crystal Millar: “WE WANT DAN! WE WANT DAN!”
{The girls walk back and forth in front of the door as they keep the signs held upright as they make as much noise as they possibly can.
A whirring sound can be heard, and both Crystal and Zelda gape in astonishment as a robot- little more than a speaker atop a pole with a wheel base, rolls up to them. Before either woman can react, a voice recording begins to play.}
Pollaski’s Recorded Voice: “Hi! You’ve reached the locker room of Daniel Pollaski. I’m unable to come to the door right now, but if you leave your name and business after the beep, I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Oh, and if you’re Crystal Hilton standing outside my door begging me to manage her instead of preparing for her match tonight… in the words of the great Shania Twain- “That Don’t Impress Me Much!””
*BEEEEP!*
{Crystal however was upset as she looked at Zelda and she immediately started to rip her Huskies shirt off.}
Crystal Millar: “Listen here you little shi…”
Zelda Knite: “Yelling isn’t going to get him to manage you… Relax calm thoughts Crystal…”
Crystal Millar: “First of all I am a Millar not A HILTON… Just because I might be separated from my husband doesn’t mean we are divorced… Second open the damn door… I am not dancing in front of the damn door for you to not pay any attention to me! I am a star… A legend. A 2x Hall of Famer, and most of all the SILVER SCREEN QUEEN! Now open up the damn door… Stop playing games or Magic the gathering or even Pokemon Go for that matter, and you come out here. Say you will be my manager so we can move on!”
Zelda Knite: “I said calm! That wasn’t calm! When I think of calm… I think of Final Fantasy 10 and….”
Crystal Millar: “Not in the mood for a video game reference.. I am just in the mood for a certain someone to give me some ATTENTION!
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!*
Generic Female Voice: Thank you for your message. Please vacate premesis before intruder protocol is activated and flamethrower mechanism is activated! Have a nice day!”
Zelda Knite: “Oh God we set off a trap… Run Crystal run! If there’s one thing I hate more than SNAKES...God not Snakes! Anything but Snakes! It’s setting off the booby trap…. “
{Zelda runs away as Crystal is standing there dumbfounded.}
Crystal Millar: “Really Indiana Jones now?! Z… Dan is bluffing there’s no way he could ever rig something like…”
*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!*
{Crystal’s claims are cut off in a scream as flames come GUSHING out of the pole, the robot rotating in a 360 degree arc, filling the entire corridor with spinning jets of fire. Still screaming, Crystal staggers back, nearly falls, but catches her balance, and runs as far and fast as she can. Several seconds after she’s gone, Daniel Pollaski comes walking around the corner. He takes one look at the robot jutting flame into the hallway, sighs, and pulls out his cellphone, shutting the flames off in just a couple quick seconds. He looks over at the camera- his face half in wry amusement, half in exasperation.}
Pollaski: And Mom said I was wasting my money when I invested in that Silicon Valley Startup.
{And with that, the obese manager steps around the now-inert robot, opens up the door, and enters his locker room/office, and slams the door behind him. And the show cuts elsewhere.}
{Backstage, Amy Jo Smyth has snuck into the catering kitchen for the arena. The large, beautifully decorated red velvet cake sits on the counter, unattended. Smyth smirks as she snatches the thing up and quickly escapes. The cake sits on the counter in the catering kitchen. Kate and Todd Steele walk into the kitchen, laughing. Kate spots the cake and rubs her hands together, ready to slice into it.}
Todd Steele: Are you sure? Your mom said not to touch it.
Amy Jo Smyth: Actually, your mom said we could all share it.
{Kate and Todd turn around quickly to look at Smyth. Smyth leans up against the door frame of the kitchen door, holding your stomach.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Your mom is a very lovely woman. She convinced to eat the cupcakes, that I’d never had anything. You were right. I’ll give you that much. Now she wants us to sit down, share the cake, have a chat, ya know, work out our differences.
{The Steeles giggle but quickly cover it up.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Whatta ya waiting for? Go on. Slice that bad boy up. I can’t wait to try it.
{Amy Jo Smyth starts to rub her stomach.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Stomach’s acting up, but, y’all, there is always room for cake.
{Kate Steele grabs a knife and quickly inserts it into the thing. As soon as she reaches the center, the entire thing explodes. A mess of cake, icing, glitter,and blue liquid flies everywhere, getting all over Kate and Todd, the most of it covering Kate. Kate screams, covers her eyes, drops the knife, and starts flailing around. Todd wipes the cake from his eyes and looks at Smyth. Smyth looks back at him, smiling.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Y’all think I’m that stupid? Really?
{Kate starts crying, moaning. Smyth moves forward, takes a carton of eggs off the counter.}
Kate Steele: I can’t see! Oh, my God, I can’t see!
Todd Steele: What - what did you do?
Amy Jo Smyth: Eye for an eye, Mr. Steele.
{Smyth takes out an egg and smashes it over the head of Todd before he can even react.}
Amy Jo Smyth: What’s the phrase? You got egg on your face?
{Todd cries, throwing his arms around. Smyth then throws an egg at Kate, nailing her in the head. She falls back, smacking into the counter, sending flour and sugar and sprinkles everywhere, including all over her. Smyth moves forward, starts throwing more flour, sugar, and eggs on Kate.}
Amy Jo Smyth: I’m making a cake. A Kate Cake!
{Smyth starts laughing and grabs a baking sheet. As Todd approaches her, she slams it over his head. He falls back, out cold. Kate gets to a standing position but slides on the mess on the floor. She reaches out for Smyth, but Smyth takes a hold of her hand, flips her around, and quickly wraps her arm around Kate’s neck.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Hush now, little baby. Don’t say a word. Momma’s gonna bake you a cake. Or, some shit like that.
{Kate slowly fades out, unconscious, and Smyth lets her fall to the floor. Smyth gives her a good kick to the ribs and then dumps the rest of the cake all over her. A large puddle of blue food coloring falls on on her face, turning her blue.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Now you really are Grover. Too bad it ain’t cookies, then you’d be the Cookie Monster.
{Momma Steele enters the room and her face instantly goes to one of shock and dismay.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Hey, sorry about your cake.
{Smyth laughs.}
Amy Jo Smyth: Really, though, I’m so sorry about your daughter and that you have to put up with her.
Momma Steele: No. No. I’m sorry.
{Momma Steele puts her hand over her mouth and shakes her head.}
Momma Steele: What’re we gonna do about this mess?
Amy Jo Smyth: Which one? Your daughter or the reason why I don’t bake?
Momma Steele: Both, I suppose.
{Amy Jo Smyth starts to walk toward the door, brushing off her hands.}
Momma Steele: I don’t know what happened, or when it happened, but this ain’t my daughter.
Amy Jo Smyth: It’s that hair dye. I’m tell ya, rots the brain.
Momma Steele: Here I thought it was too much sugar.
Amy Jo Smyth: Please, I live on sugar and caffeine.
{Momma Steele laughs and then stops. Smyth leaves the room, walking with a sense of pride.}
{Mackenzie Roberts is showing off her title when Kenzi Grey takes advantage of the situation and attacks Roberts from behind with a forearm smash. The title goes flying and the referee quickly calls for the bell. Grey punches Roberts all the way into the corner and once there, chokes Roberts with her foot as she uses the ropes for leverage. The referee fights with her to release but to no avail. That is until he threatens her with disqualification and Grey releases the choke. Kenzi then attempts to climb up the turnbuckle but can’t quite get any balance, winds up wrapping her legs around Roberts’ neck, and falling backward. Both of them crash to the mat but Grey rolls up to her feet. As soon as Roberts stands, Grey kicks Roberts in the gut, bounces herself off the ropes, and actually successfully lands a swinging neckbreaker. Kenzi goes for the cover. It barely gets a two count.}
{The two women stand and Kenzi Grey slaps Mackenzie Roberts across the face. Roberts punches Grey in the face over and over again until Grey can barely stand and tops it off with an off-the-ropes leaping punch. Grey begs for time and mercy from the referee and Roberts. Roberts takes a few steps back and faces the crowd in disbelief. Kenzi Grey has no problem leaping to her feet, grabbing Roberts by the hair, and tossing her across the ring. Grey goes for a cover but it barely a one count before Roberts throws Grey off her.}
{Kenzi Grey stomps her feet on the mat and then starts arguing with the ref. Roberts gets to her feet, reaches out to grab Grey but Grey does some kind of modified suplex, putting Roberts on her back with a boom. Grey goes for another cover, gets another one count. Roberts rolls away, looking annoyed. Kenzi starts fighting with the referee again. Roberts has had had enough, pushes the referee outta the way, grabs Grey by the head, and plants Grey with an underhook implant DDT. Roberts’ cover get a two count.}
{Roberts leaps to her feet, grabs Grey, and throws Grey into the corner. She follows that up with a leaping splash into the corner on Grey. Kenzi comes tumbling out of the corner and Roberts climbs up the turnbuckle. Roberts leaps and hits a turning Grey with a dropkick. Roberts waits for Grey to stand and as soon as she does, grabs Grey by the head, runs, and slams her down with a bulldog. Roberts is far from done as she climbs up the and leaps with a leg drop. Kenzi rolls out of the way, letting Roberts land flat on her ass. Kenzi Grey leaps to her feet and kicks Mackenzie Roberts in the back of the head, setting her down flat. Grey climbs up the turnbuckle now, barely staying balanced, and leaps. Roberts rolls out of the way now, letting Kenzi Grey land on the mat. Roberts moves quickly, grabs Grey, lifts her to her feet, throws her into the ropes, and when she returns, Grey is put down with a powerbomb. Roberts stays for the cover but Grey gets her shoulder up.}
{Mackenzie Roberts now seems annoyed at the count and gives the referee a long stare. Roberts lifts Grey to her feet, slams her forearm into the back of Grey, and then slams Kenzi Grey down with a bridging German suplex. The cover only results in a two count. Roberts can’t believe it and growls with anger. She lifts Kenzi, whips her into the corner, and when she comes bouncing out, hits with the Hero Kick. Roberts wastes no time in going for the cover. No count comes; the referee is distracted by the appearance of Miyoko Oshiro on the apron. Roberts spots Oshiro and the two start exchanging words. It doesn’t take long for Roberts to exit the ring and give chase. The referee starts the ten-count and Kenzi starts to stir.}
{Kenzi Grey sits in the ring, laughing at Mackenzie Roberts running around after Oshiro. Roberts is forced back into the ring by the count and as soon as she does, Grey grabs her by the leg, stands, and pulls off this strange side suplex. Roberts starts grabbing her knee, yelping in pain. Kenzi Grey continues laughing.}
{Alexis Blake appears now, hobbling down the entranceway toward the ring. Kenzi stands, holding her head and she starts yelling at Blake. Blake starts swinging the crutch under the ropes, trying to hit Grey. The referee doesn’t know what to do. Mackenzie Roberts climbs to her feet, favoring her knee but working it out. Grey grabs the crutch being swung at her by Blake and pulls it into the ring. Miyoko Oshiro jumps on the apron, gets the attention of the referee. Kenzi Grey turns around and slams the crutch into Mackenzie’s head. Roberts drops and Grey throws slides the crutch out of the ring. Oshiro directs the attention of the referee to the cover. Grey hooks the leg and gets the three count. Kenzi Grey leaps to her feet and celebrates her victory. The victory is short lived, though, when Alexis Blake climbs up the ring steps, ready to go after Kenzi. Oshiro and Grey make a quick exit.}
{The bell sounds as Abby and Crystal start, Kayla and Seria in their respective corners. Crystal takes control from the lock up with a side headlock. Abby quickly backs her into the ropes, and shoots her off into the ropes and takes Crystal off her feet with a shoulder block. Abby backs up as Crystal slowly rises. The two go to lock up again but Abby quickly kicks Crystal in the gut and staggers her with a hard right hand. Abby turns to Serai as if asking for her approval, but Serai points at Crystal who nails Abby when she turns to face her again with a hard right hand of her own. Crystal staggers Abby with more rights before whipping her into the ropes and catching Abby with a leg lariat on the rebound. Abby rolls to the outside near Serai, who simply points her the way back into the ring. Abby takes offense, and eats a baseball slide for her troubles from Crystal! Abby staggers back into the ring as Serai tags herself in, pointing at Crystal to fight her, Crystal squares up, but Kayla tags herself in, and the fans boo.
Kayla enters and shoos Crystal out of the ring, but turns right into a Serai clothesline. Serai then takes a cheap shot at Crystal, knocking her off the apron. Crystal jumps back up and the ref has to keep her out Abby nails Kayla as she gets up and Serai and Abby get some stomping in on the downed Kayla. Serai then hits a nice suplex on Kayla and covers. 1…..2… Kayla kicks out.

Kayla makes the cover! 1….2…. Serai kicks out herself. Kayla gets up and quickly nails Abby off the apron, before ducking a Serai clothesline and tagging Crystal! Crystal hits a springboard dropkick on the way in! Serai gets up and eats a nice spinning heel kick as well! Serai rolls to the outside where Abby is there. Abby and Serai argue and then Crystal takes them both out with a double suicide dive!
Crystal tosses Serai back into the ring and then waits on the apron. Crystal goes to springboard again, but Abby snatches Crystal’s leg and causes her to face plant into the ring! Serai wastes no time and drops a couple of elbows before tagging Abby back in. Abby waits and then hits a nice step up enziguri to Crystal and covers! 1…..2…. Crystal rolls the shoulder. Abby then continues to show boat with Crystal is down as Serai yells at her to tag her, or go for the pin and stop wasting time. Abby then flips Serai off and goes for the Abstinence [Hero’s Welcome] But Serai stops her and levels Abby before planting her with the Judgement of Osiris! [Muscle Buster] Serai flips her off before kicking Crystal in the face for good measure! Crystal stumbles back into Kayla, who quickly tags herself in and covers the fallen Abby for the 1……2……3! Kayla celebrates while Serai simply walks away disgusted. The ref raises Crystal and Kayla’s hands, and then Kayla turns around and SPEARS Crystal! Kayla leaves alone to major boos.}
{The match begin with all 4 women brawling in the ring. Silent Rage wasting no time clearing house, and then following the stunned Naughty girls to the floor. Rachel takes Kat into the steel post with Lucy takes Katie into the ring steps. Silent Rage enters with Katie and then hit a double flapjack!

Lucy shrugs it off and turns and nails Katie, dropping her off the apron. Lucy then charges Kat, only for Kat to back drop her over the top rope to the floor.
Kat stumbles outside, as Lucy slowly got up, and then Kat rammed her back-first into the ring apron before tossing Lucy back in. Kat drug Lucy over to Katie and tagged her in. Katie entered and stomped Lucy a few times, before impressively picking her up for a body slam. The move appeared to hurt Katie’s back as she quickly tagged Kat back in, who dropped a knee across Lucy’s forehead and covered. 1……2…. Lucy kicks out. Kat tags Katie and they hit a double scoop slam and then double elbow on Lucy before Kat exits. Katie begins kicking at Lucy’s left leg to hobble her, and then locks in a modified knee bar, clamping down on the hold. Lucy refuses to quit. Even when Kat holds Katie’s hands for added pressure. Lucy is able to make it to the ropes, and breaks the hold. Katie stands pleased with herself as she then attempts to powerbomb Lucy, but Lucy is too big! Katie quickly goes to tag Kat, but gets caught by a belly to back suplex! Lucy crawls over and tags Rachel, just as Katie tags Kat! Kat runs into a back drop on the way in, and Katie eats a dropkick!

Katie tosses Rachel into the ring, where Kat is up and hits the Hold and Release [Modified Curb Stomp] and covers Rachel! 1……2……3!
The Naughty Girls quickly roll out of the ring as their music hits. Candi already having collected the titles and handing them to the champions as the show fades.}
