The camera picks up with Kai seated backstage near a monitor, a black towel over his head and his wrappings undone as he allows himself to rest following the Hellacious 6 Pack Challenge Match. He'd won. He'd managed to go out there and do exactly as he swore he would all those weeks ago and won. And now he finds himself one step closer to his endgame.

Leaning a little closer to the monitor, he watches the ending moments of the Global Championship Match and it's aftermath with narrowed eyes, his lips pursing into a thin line of annoyance as he watched the brick come into play, and the ultimate result.


CAMERAMAN: Kai! Can we get a quick word with you?

Kai's shoulders tense and he twitches in annoyance, but other than that he makes no acknowledgment of the camera's presence as he continues to watch the monitor.

CAMERAMAN: Alright, um.. Earlier tonight, you pulled off a Big Win as you defeted Mark Storm, Kehlani Ray, Beth Keaton, Jackson Magnum, and Elijah Black in the Six Pack Challenge and earning yourself a place in the Golden Opportunity Ladder Match. How does the win feel, knowing that you’ve punched your ticket into a match with Championship Implications-

KAI: That I’m not done.

Kai didn’t bother turning his attention away from the monitor to address the cameraman, and missed the flabbergasted look on the man behind the camera.

CAMERAMAN: Wha… huh? Y-you mean that you’re not happy with the match or…?

Bringing his hands up and folding them under his chin, Kai continues to watch the monitor diligently as he speaks

KAI: This is only the first step... one that means I'm able to get the chance that I so desire. But it doesn't end here. I won't end when I'm standing atop a ladder, clutching the Golden Opportunity Briefcase to my chest while looking down at the destruction and battlefield of broken bodies and ladders mangled beyond repair. It won't end in the months following Destiny while the Global Champion, be it Kol or Sullivan, are fighting off challenger after challenger while having my name in the back of their head, knowing that it will only be a matter of time before I come for what rests on their shoulder. It won't come when I finally decide to cash it in.

Kai turns to look at the camera, a deathly determined look in his eyes.

KAI: The end of this for me? The end will be my music playing after a bloody war and me looking down at the Championship I've chased and chased for so long... That I've devoted every waking moment of my life to ever since I was an undersized boy helping breakdown ring sets in Japan, to locking myself inside of a gym for hours, even days at a time as a teenager, that I've broken myself down to the bare bones, down to the seams that hold my very being together for the last ten years, is mine.

Pushing himself out of the seat, Kai rolls his neck and gains a few pops, before looking at the camera.

KAI: This ends with me being able to say that I've finally, finally dragged my broken body the top and become Champion. Or it ends with my career dying a sudden death in the ring. But for now... having done as I said I would and go through five others to put myself into position and have a chance - a legitimate chance to get there... it's a start.

He turns and begins to walk away, leaving the camera man alone with the replay of the end of the show playing as the scene begins to fade.

Caitlin Bellamy is backstage, lazing on a crate. She's laid out with her feet up, humming to herself as she looks at her phone and chews on some gum. A crew member then walks up, looking a bit nervous.

WORKER: Uh, Caitlin, we need that crate would you mind?

Before he can even finish his question, Caitlin sits up and spits the wad of gum right in his face, sticking it right to his eyelid. The crew member and several near by workers all look in a bit of disgust at the act as Caitlin cackles at it.

CAITLIN BELLAMY: Get the fuck out of here.

The worker leaves as he pulls the wad of gum, at least tries, off.

CAITLIN BELLAMY: Ah they are such pussies. What did I tell you folks? What did I say? I said I was gonna embarrass Cali out there. Once again she proved she can't win. I, on the other hand, can. What does that say? All of our success as a team? Was because of me. Winning in Air? Me. Reason we got signed by HKW? Me. I was the talent. She was there for me to use.

Now I move onto Defiance to continue my winning ways. With that Destiny Cup coming up, I plan on adding that to my trophy case. What a way to start off the rebirth of my career huh. My future sure is looking bright. Destiny cup here I come. Bye Cali. Enjoy the bottom of the barrel where you belong with the rest of the unwanted filth.

Caitlin smirks as she hops off the crate and walks off.

Cameras open up to a well lit parking lot attached to the arena where Decay just finished taking place. Rows of what appear to be rental cars assumedly this was the talents parking section. A set of boots clicked off the ground in the distance only to reveal it was Ryan Lecavalier who was leaving the arena. She had wrestled both AG3 and Fowler for the Television title. Her efforts came up short, but one of her calculations didn’t go according to plan. Dressed like she was possibly going to go out after the show she noticed the two cameramen trained on her. She was wearing a Cayler Sons F**KIN Problems Snapback (that was worn backwards), while she wore a white dress shirt with a bowtie that was undone and was there for aesthetic effect. That only followed her leather jeans that were made of several different materials while the knees were distressed, her shoes were also designer, she chose some type of high fashion loafer that only added to the style choice.

CAMERA MAN: Hey Ryan, could we get your thoughts on tonight? Most people are talking about it on social media a lot ever since it happened. They’ve been dubbing it “The Assist” online.

When she turns around to acknowledge her pursuers, she reveals her makeup that makes her look rather pale but it’s done out of dramatic effect. The dark smoky eyes paired with the razor sharp eyeliner while she was glowing somewhat. Her dark colored lips didn’t help either, the maroon shade only acted as an anchor point for some reason or another.

RYAN LECAVALIER: I really don’t want to do this tonight guys.

There was a look of visible disgust on Ryan’s face still she managed to keep her cool. Remaining steady she continues through the parking lot with both cameras trained on her. Making a b-line for her rental car was smart, but they still needed to know her intentions after the fact.

CAMERA MAN: C’mon, we’re just trying to do our job. Why not make your intentions known? You’re pretty much sending mixed signals as is…

Ryan continued walking until she heard the last part of the Camera Man’s sentence. That’s when she pivoted on right her foot, viewers saw that the camera zoomed out showing her agitated face.

RYAN LECAVALIER: You really want to know my opinion?

CAMERA MAN: Yeah – it would be nice.

Saying nothing else Ryan walked up to the camera man who fixed onto her as her rental car was now seen within the background of the shot, her shoes were heard clicking off of the concrete of the parking structure.

RYAN LECAVALIER: Do you mind if I hold this for a second?

Ryan motioned forward for the Camera guy to hand over the camera.

CAMERA MAN: I don’t know…It’s pretty expensive.

RYAN LECAVALIER: How much do they run for?

Ryan shot an inquisitive look back at the camera and not the man behind it.

CAMERA MAN: …Ten-thousand dollars?

She smirked then.

RYAN LECAVALIER: Exactly. It’s a little known fact, but I’ve got a film degree. I think I know how to work the camera—

Her smile widened as he was heard sighing before handing it off. Ryan looked into the lenses as he smile faded slightly before turning around filming towards her car. Walking forward a few paces she was a good distance between herself and the cameramen. Looking back at them she stared at them for a second before sending the camera sailing through the air, as it headed towards the windshield of the rental car. The camera collided and it was audible as the camera shattered the glass of the rental car completely.

A few seconds later the feed jumped to the second camera guys camera as Ryan looked rather unapologetic for just destroying HKW property. Reaching down into her pocket she reached for what was assumed to be her cell phone. Pressing one of many buttons she hit speed dial and began speaking to the person who obviously answered.

RYAN LECAVALIER: We need another rental car, don’t ask why.

Ryan made a face at the camera.

RYAN LECAVALIER: How bout I just grab my bag out the back and we’ll order another rental car? It’d be easier for them just to deliver another one.

A few seconds go by and Ryan gets off the phone with whoever she’s talking to. Looking at them she then pulls out her rental car keys and hits the alarm, disarming it, and goes into the back seat for her gear that she already stored there previously before she decided to wait for her wife to get done with whatever. Feinting a fake and nervous smile she shouldered her bag onto her right side and walked back towards the entry point of the parking lot.

It didn’t feel like she thought it would—

There was no mistake about it, that night, she and Michael Alexander had become apart of HKW’s rich history. Two successful Lionheart Championship defenses; it was a feat that had never been achieved before.

Were there seeds of doubt going into match? Yes, a couple. Regardless of how she felt about him personally, Michael had transformed and proven himself to be worthy competitor and challenger. His match with Taryn Willow served as an example of his prowess. And of course, he had pinned Nina in that six-man tag team match.

However, fear and doubt cripples success, she knew that. Therefore, she did her best to push those thoughts out of her mind. She focused on the advice that her brother gave her before her first wrestling match in Knoxville Wrestling Institute, “live in the moment.” She knew that the past was important, but this match was in the present. This match was a special event in and of itself, and she was determined to treat it as such. And of course, she was determined to walk away the victor.

In her mind, Nina assumed that she’d ecstatic after the match. She thought she’d be high on Cloud Nine. However that wasn’t exactly the case…

She had taken quite a beating on the head throughout the match; perhaps her thoughts and emotions were jumbled for that reason. Or, maybe that feeling of “highness” would come a day or two later. No, she wasn’t ecstatic; however, as she sat on the locker room bench holding the title, she did feel a great sense of pride.

Pride...

Her goal had always been to make that belt just a little bit more prestigious; she and Michael accomplished that goal that night. And, maybe that’s why the belt felt just a bit heavier. Or again, it could have been all those shots to the head.

Pride...

Her thoughts moved to Michael for a moment. It seemed as if their saga had met its conclusion, at least for the time being. Nina pondered over the questions Tiffany Jay had asked her. Even after the hellacious match, she couldn’t say that she respected him, not fully. However, that night he proved a few things to her:

  • That he was talented

  • That he was no pushover
  • That he’d be able to hang with just about anyone in HKW

  • That when the time was right, he would be a single’s champion


Pride...

Her brain moved on to another thought. A small smirk came to Nina’s face as she flicked a bit of dried blood of the belt’s faceplate. And, while she was proud, she had been in this position before. She knew exactly what was coming. As the Lionheart Championship grew in prestige, so would the number of challengers. They won’t really give a fuck about her, but they would care about taking that belt.

NINA STOKES: How about that…

Nina stood to her feet, stilling holding onto the belt. She then reaches for her Adidas gym bag. Once the bag’s strap is affixed to her shoulder, she runs her fingers across the bandaging on her forehead. Her smirk reappears.

NINA STOKES: I welcome challenge.

The scene shifts to another area backstage at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA. This time, it's Tiffany Jay that's on our screens as she stands in front of a locker room door.

TIFFANY JAY: Hey everyone! Tiffany Jay here backstage at Decay. We're all still in shock at what we saw during tonight's main event between Zero McHannon, Alexa Corra and Kol, who is our new HKW Global Champion after cashing in his GO Briefcase. But the Global Championship wasn't the only title to change hands this evening. Earlier on tonight, Project Continuum, the team of Levi Chambers and Felix Vialpando, won the Tag Team Gauntlet to become the new HKW Global Tag Champions. However, that match was mired in controversy after the actions of the Distorted Archetypes, who had been eliminated from the match. Right now, I'm outside the locker room of the former Global Tag Team Champions, the Super Mario Wrestling Bros. Let's see if I can get a word with them.

Tiffany turns and raises her left hand to the door before politely knocking. She waits a few seconds, but there's no answer. So she knocks on the door again. Tiffany puts her ear towards the door when she hears footsteps slowly making their way towards the door. Tiffany clears her throat before stepping back. After the door slowly opens, a disheveled, beaten and bruised Max Powers steps into the doorway. His disappointment is clearly visible.

TIFFANY JAY: Max, I just want to say that we're all proud of the fight that you and Landon put up tonight, given everything that happened. We were all looking forward to seeing a great tag team match. Unfortunately, the Distorted Archetypes ruined what could've been a great showdown between yourselves and Project Continuum. How are you both feeling after such a brutal assault at the hands of Cyrus and Amber?

Tiffany raises the microphone to Max's face. But he doesn't respond. He just stares vacantly at her.

TIFFANY JAY: Alrighty. Well, I don't know if you've been made aware. But GM Perello has announced a huge match for SubVersion 19. After what happened in tonight's Tag Team Gauntlet, he's made a Loser Leaves Town Match between the Distorted Archetypes... and the SMWB. If you could be so kind as to give us your thoughts?

Max continues to stare at Tiffany. Finally, he lets out a labored sigh before turning around and slamming the door in Tiffany's face. Tiffany lowers her head with disappointment before turning back towards the camera. She raises her head back up and addresses the viewing audience.

TIFFANY JAY: The SMWB are understandably upset over what happened here tonight. I'll try to get a word with them in the coming days. But right now, I'm getting word that one of our cameramen has caught up with another SubVersion superstar. Take it away!

Womp, womp.
Gnarls Robinson stands off-center, inside of a locker room. Running water could be heard in the background, but the focal is on him. His intense eyes peer past his shades. He soon turns his head to peer at the individual, but then back at the camera.

GNARLS ROBINSON: Thanks, Tiffany! We're backstage here with Sophie El, who successfully--

Gnarls is interrupted by the sudden gaze of the Hybrid Champion. She doesn't look mad, but she's clearly unsettled. He stops midway, putting his hands in defense.

SOPHIE EL: I wouldn't call it successful, Robinson.

GNARLS ROBINSON: Sorry, sorry, miss El, uhm, you kept your belt, tho, right?

Sophie stops the returning water and raises her head. With a flick of her hair, water splashes onto Gnarls, who audibly rears away from it.

SOPHIE EL: I kept my belt, yes, but that's not what a champion does. A champion defends their belt. They make sure they win. I only kept the belt through means that I had no control over. Because of one petulant bastard who cannot take a loss, who had no affairs in my business. WHO STOLE MY WIN AWAY FROM ME.

Sophie paused, realizing that she was yelling.

SOPHIE EL: I'm sorry.

She shakes her head.

SOPHIE EL: I'm tired of being the person who sacrifices everything. I'm tired of people being able to do what they please when it comes to me. I'm tired of being the victim of thievery. So you know what, it's time that I take from them. Wait for Subversion; none of them will like what happens.

She heaves her championship over her shoulder. She then takes off, leaving Gnarls to be shocked by her words.

GNARLS ROBINSON: Well, damn.

Cameras catch A.G. III storming out of the trainer's room after being made to go through some customary post-match check ups due to the barrage of offense she'd taken from both her opponents at the conclusion of the ITV Championship triple threat match. Clearly in a sour mood, she starts ranting at the camera crew as she makes her trek down the hall.

A.G. III: This is some load of bullshit. Straight bullshit I tell you and you know why? Because --

The video cuts to static before a message reading "This video has been edited for time. We now resume it later on."

A.G. III: -- And that's just the start of the problem I got with the damn Mongolians. But lemme tell you bout tonight. Yawl might recognize JACKASS Fowler as a champ, but I don't. He not the champ of my Television. I signed up for a triple threat match not a handicap match!

She exclaims, gesticulating wildly.

A.G. III: That was what we had for a while and then somewhere in the middle of me bashing his stupid limey face into the mat, the two of them realized they couldn't beat me alone so they decided to both concentrate they attack at me. That was a violation of the rules of the match, the structure and the motherfucking Geneva Convention! I do not accept that result!

Cocking her head, she yells at a member of the crew off camera.

A.G. III: You think this funny? That I'm playing? I got clout! I'm a ambassador for the State of Florida tourism bureau! There's power here and if people don't respect the fact I was robbed of a title and some my brain cells due to crookery I can change the whole fate of the country! I'll run spots to make sure as many of my people down in Florida get out and vote for Trump on Tuesday as I can! What then? What will happen to Ryan LeCav and her beloved mangled up manlady parts then? I was gonna support Gary Johnson because I don't know what Aleppo is either so I can relate to him, but if I ain't named ITV Champ by disqualification by Monday morning I gonna get the word out and ruin yawls country just like my dreams got ruined!

Her face turning almost as bright red as her hair, she continues ranting.

A.G. III: I'm the Champ!!! I'm the Champion of Television!!! I hold all you futures in my hands, so you best bow down and dance for me! Dance like the little --

The video cuts out again and elevator style music starts playing as a generic photo of Beth Keaton skinning the cat in this year's Interbrand Cup battle royal envelops the screen, along with a message reading "Please Hang On! We'll Be Right Back!" Finally we come back and the R.I.P. member is struggling to push a door open, before finally realizing she needs to pull. As the door swings wide open and she departs, she's heard continuing to scream.

A.G. III: I'M THE ATV 3 CHAMP! PUT THAT DAMN RESPECK ON MY NAME!
