Catch up with the HKW superstars after SubVersion goes off the air only on Evolve! Watch as the action from SubVersion spews backstage after every show with comments from the HKW stars and officials. Maybe we'll even see a brawl break out!

The camera fades in as we see a shot of the men’s locker room. It’s currently empty and unoccupied. The camera cuts over to a particular locker on the right side of the room. A metal placard runs across the top of the locker door; it has the word “Gifted” written on it.

As the pan camera pans downward, we spot a loose-leaf piece of paper also attached to the locker’s door with a magnet. The camera zooms in a bit, allowing the paper’s words to be read:

Quote:
 
Hmmmm—I suppose even the gifted fall, sometimes.

Marcus, I don’t say that to throw salt on that freshly caused wound. I said that because the sentiment rings true, even for me. I know go as far to say that I am gifted or some kind of savant—however, I’m damn a good at what I do out there in that ring…

And even I falter and stumble at times.

—You know Marcus, my time spent in the Lionheart Division, my time spent as the Lionheart Champion, it’s truly been something grand. During the course of my reign, I’ve shattered old records, fortified some brand new records, and have put on the best performances of my entire career.

In few weeks, I will have held the Lionheart Championship for an entire year. That’s a truly remarkable feat, if you think about it. If I wanted to be arrogant and braggadocious, I believe I’ve more than earned the right. If I wanted to get on some type of platform and berate the people that have doubted me, well, I’d be somewhat justified, wouldn't lie.

Do you know why I haven’t?

You see, I’ve seen what happens when a person gets to proud. I’ve seen what happens when a person views themselves as untouchable. I’ve witnessed what happens when someone abruptly descends from Cloud Nine and cracks their head on the pavement.

I didn’t desire to be that person. So, I’ve done my best to keep my hubris in check. I would advise you to do the same. You may not care to hear that right now, but it might be helpful to you in the future. Yeah, I realize in this realm (professional wrestling) you and I are enemy combatants; but outside of it, we are kinda’ close. Therefore, I do care what happens to you. I don’t want to see you fall into the same trap as others, the same trap that’s hinder me a couple times in my lifetime.

Marcus, before our match tonight, you claimed that you say doubt and searching in my eyes. However, you were mistaken. What you really saw was conviction and resolve, as evidenced by our match tonight…

In a few weeks, you and I shall meet at Unleash. And when that date approaches, I won’t be frightened or intimidated. I will give you the fight of my life, the fight of my career, just as I’ve done with every single challenger that I’ve squared up with in that ring.

But please know this Marcus, I can almost guarantee that our bout will be much more intense than those previous bouts. You are hungry. A win here would vanquish some of those old demons that have been plaguing and haunting you. And me? I’m still hungry too. I need the world to understand that the Lionheart belt is one the best championships, not just in HKW, but in this entire industry.

Let’s see who’s hungry wins out, hmm?

PS: You instructed me to wear new shoes. To commemorate tonight’s bout, I’m going to leave them here for you. They are a custom pair of ASICS CAEL V7.0s; and they are a swanky colorway. See you at the pay-per-view, big guy.


The camera pans downward. True to her word, that pair of ASICS is resting on top of a box. The camera lingers on the shoes for a bit before it fades out.

The camera cuts in shortly after the last view to a ice pack around his head wrapped ‘Gifted’ DeMarcus Gresham standing in front of his locker already seeing the shoes and rips the paper off the front of his locker to read it. Already knowing who it’s from due to the handwriting he reads….

reads…

reads...and stops.

A chuckle and a smirk. Is all the reaction given before he takes a seat and starts untying his wrestling boots.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: Once again you show your hand. Unnecessarily so as usual.

The chuckle grows a little louder as he gets his first shoe off.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: Gifted doesn’t fail. He adjusts. What is considered downfalls to you are never the pits for I. Which is why I am Gifted. Nina Nina Nina, all the time you’ve spent with me and yet...you still haven’t gathered it.

A look of pity crosses his face as he tisk, tisk, tisks

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: All these words, after desperate action. Misunderstood. So misunderstood. Alarming in fact.

Getting his shoes completely off he rubs at the ice pack on his head from where Nina’s kicks hit their mark above his temple. Looking at the shoes Nina left his smirk grows a little wider.

DEMARCUS GRESHAM: Indeed, a sufficient acquisition of funds. One will pay monumental amounts for the shoes of Nina Stokes last night leaving as the Lionheart Champion. Appreciated.

Scene fades as he stands and walks out of frame.

Dirty Waters

Tiffany Jay beamed ear to ear as she stood by backstage, alongside a victorious Beth Keaton and Cyncity. She turned to the two wrestlers, addressing them.

TIFFANY JAY: Beth, Cyn, that had to feel good to get some payback on WRESTLENIUM tonight.

Keaton nods.

BETH KEATON: We did good, yeah, the two of them have a lot of talent but they’re trying to get attention the wrong way. Hopefully they learned that the best way to make a name for yourself is by working hard in the ring, not doing other people’s dirty work and attacking people. Because taking shortcuts and trying to mess with people’s careers is how you feel the Warhound’s bite-- awoo.

She puffs her chest out trying to look tough after referencing the tag team’s multiple attempts to inflict head trauma on Beth and Cyn, both of whom have a history with concussions.

TIFFANY JAY: I have to say too, the two of you worked really well together for it being the first time you’ve ever tagged. Could we see more of you as a team going forward?

Instantly, Cyncity pulls the microphone her way.

CYNCITY: Nothing against Beth or anyone else in this bizzyness, but I only has one tag team partner and her name is Cordelia Stevenson. You’ll never see me teaming with anyone else unless I end up in one of those whacky Lethal Lottery thingies.

A devious grin forms on Cyn’s face as she turns toward Beth, the microphone still positioned underneath her chin.

CYNCITY: But this has never been about me finding a new partner or anything like that. It was about someone believing that I was actually sorry for all the things I did, and Beth right here--

Cyn points at her...friend?

CYNCITY: --she was the first person to hear me out. She started the trend of almost everyone liking me again, and I can’t thank her enough for it.

A blink, then a smile forms on Cindy’s face.

CYNCITY: And because of me, it looks like Beth is off the Unleash card because she was too busy helping me against those two stupidheads Wrestlefestival!

She glances over at Tiffany and whispers ‘is that right?’ before she faces Beth again.

CYNCITY: But I has an idea! Since yooooou’re not doing anything at Unleash, and I’mmmmm not doing anything at Unleash…

A short pause.

CYNCITY: Why don’t we give the world a first time ever match! Beth Keaton against Cyncity! No stipulations, no gimmicks--

She looks over at Tiffany and asks ‘can I say that word?’

CYNCITY: --no other baloney. Just two of this brands elite going one on one to see who is the better woooooooooooman.

Beth eagerly nods her head, before slowing down, trying not to look so eager.

BETH KEATON: I was looking to test myself before those two came along and uh, that sounds like a pretty great way to do that. Heck, we’ll tear the house down at Unleash, because I know we’ve both got our focus in the right place right now, which is performing at the highest level in the ring.

She beams.

BETH KEATON: You’re on!

A beat skips before she clears her throat, adding.

BETH KEATON: Awoo.

As she finishes, Tiffany steps to the forefront.

TIFFANY JAY: We’ll have to see if it gets made official--I can’t see why it wouldn’t--but it looks like we just got another big match for Unleash! Beth Keaton vs Cyncity one on one for the first time!
