With his relationship woes with Sapphire repaired, is Genesis ready to take on the challenge of facing the Best in the World at Slammiversary?
  
  
• Newcomer Kayda Erikson defeated Sapphire in her GZWA debut. What does she have to say about her opponent tonight after the events that transpired after their encounter? 
  
  
• During last week's ReAction, Taryn Terrell was attacked by Maria Kanellis. Will she finally break her silence and reveal her intentions of the attack? 
  
  
• After some foul play from The MisFits, Kat defeated Morgan Davis. In a surprising turn of events, Interim Commissioner Mariah injected herself into the action when The MisFits motioned to injure the Georgia Peach to even the odds. What do The MisFits and Queen Bee Mafia have to say after the events that transpired tonight? 
  
  
• The hatred between Paige and Laura Jackson has shown no signs of ending, resulting with the GZWA Owner booking a one-on-one match between the two at Slammiversary. What does the Diva of Tomorrow and Tattooed Beauty have to say to the newly added match to Slammiversary's match card?
  
  
• Newcomer Josiah Christiansen stole the win right from underneath the noses of Tyler Storm and Keri Cruz of INked in his GZWA debut. What choice words does Josiah have for his competition tonight? 
  
  
• In Mariah's on-air Job Performance Review, GZWA Chairman Xion Zeros and the returning Serena Dent fired Mariah as acting Interim Commissioner, but rehired her as an active competitor on the GZWA roster as Serena Dent is back as acting Commissioner for GZWA. What does the other members on the roster have to say about this turn of events, along with their blockbuster announcements for Slammiversary?
   
• In the finals of the Women's Championship Tournament, Raven defeated Tennel Blade to earn the coveted #1 Contender spot to face Mei Long at Slammiversary. That is until GZWA Chairman Xion Zeros announced a final match for the next Primetime, pitting Raven against Amber Torres, where winner takes all. To stack the odds even more against her, reigning Women's Champion Mei Long will be the acting official for the match. How will The Ultimate Vixen cope with all of her walls coming down around her, especially after Amber unleashing the skeletons from out of Raven's closet?
  
  
• In a rematch of the 3-on-3 tag team match of the previous episode of Primetime, Victor Phillips, Leon Torres, The Enigma, Danielle Bradley, Carnage, and Television Champion Mike Bradley were more caught up fighting each among their teammates than against their opposition. This caused the match to result in a double count out for both teams. Now that GZWA security has finally gotten all of these individuals separated, do they have any choice words for what happened tonight?
  
  
• With a minor assist from Mei Long, GZWA World Heavyweight Champion AJ Styles defeated El Arrendajo Ardiente in tonight's steel cage main event. The question on everyone's minds is why is this masked luchador so persistent on making Styles' life a living hell? What does AJ Styles have to say about the GZWA Chairman's change to his title defense at Slammiversary?
  
  
• After Trent Lewis' schemes have brought into the light and Genesis and Sapphire now happily reunited as a couple, what is next for the King of Controversy and Crown Jewel?

(Remember this topic is NOT just limited to these points, newcomers feel free to "react" on the events of this most recent GZWA program and/or introduce your characters in-character if you're a debuting Superstar/Diva and didn't appear in the most recent show results.)

[The Bradley Clan]

Mike Bradley is being escorted by GZWA security to his locker room after tonight's 6-person tag match devolved into chaos. He's still mouthing off even after his sister Danielle and Carnage are well out of sight.

"You fucking rent-a-cops are lucky Danielle and I have a restraining order between the two of us! Otherwise, I'd be trampling all your asses and tearing her limb from limb!"

At this moment, Thomas Morning approaches Mike.

"Mike, tonight's match was utter chaos to say the-"

"Clusterfuck, Morning! Clusterfuck is the word! Carnage and Danielle let their egos get the best of them, but I look at it this way: they still don't have momentum going towards Slammiversary. I'm still champ, I'm still in the driver's seat, and I'm still in the game more than both of them combined. One more Primetime, where we might as well have this tag match again, then Slammiversary, and I'll show everyone I'm not a fluke! Now would you pigs unhand me so I can get packed and head for the airport? Jesus Christ!"

Mike wriggles free of the security guards and slams the door to his locker room behind him. Before the cameras shut off, he can be heard yelling...

"FUCK!!!"

[The Bradley Clan]

Danielle Bradley is being escorted to her locker room by GZWA security. Unlike her brother, she's relatively silent, shaking her head along the way. Christy Hemme is waiting for her at the door.

"What do you want, bitch?"

"Danielle, it seems as though you can't stay on the same page as your brother for these tag matches. You two almost came to blows tonight, which would have resulted in you losing your spot in the triple-"

"Shut the fuck up, Christy! I know what was at stake. Listen, Mike doesn't get it, Carnage doesn't get it, and most importantly, Christy, YOU don't get it. I'm working my ass off, trying my best to put aside my differences with these two lugnuts and win a match, and all of a sudden, the match turns into an absolute shitstorm! If those two would take their heads out of their asses, maybe we could come up with a win over those three curtain jerkers!"

"To be fair, Victor Phillips, Leon Torres, and The Enigma couldn't stay together as a unit either."

"Which is why we should have won the match. But noooo, Mike and Carnage have to get all up in each other's shit and cost us a victory! Truth be told, I hope those two little boys rip each other's intestines out. Then I'll be there to clean up the mess at Slammiversary and become Television Champion.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get packed."

Danielle breaks free of the security guards' grip and slams the door to her locker room.

[Heartbreaker]

Tonight’s episode of Primetime wasn’t a good one for Lise Starr. Not only did she lose to Amanda Cortez via her dirty tactics, but AJ Lee exposed Lise’s dark secrets of her past to the world and burned her belongings in a barrel. Because of this, Lise Starr couldn’t shower after her match and she was still dressed in a baby-blue variation of her attire and thanks to a shot with brass knuckles, a small bandage on her forehead. Outside in the hallways, she was leaning against her locker room door, arms folded and looking down at the floor, looking miserable.



CM Punk approaches her locker room slowly, stopping beside Lise. He clears his throat to get her attention. As she looks up slowly, he utters. "....Sorry and junk."

Raising her eyes up towards Punk, Lise rolled her eyes and grabbed the plush toys, throwing them to the floor. "I don't want any gifts..." Suddenly, she stepped towards Punk and tightly hugged him. "I forgive you though. Maybe I overreacted to that bullshit from the other show so I'm sorry about that. A lot's happened since then, so my mind's been everywhere too, starting with that psychotic bitch named AJ Lee. Did you see what she did!? I am gonna brutally kill her."

CM Punk sighs in relief. "And here I thought this was going to be a lot harder than this." He pets her on the head and adds. "AJ being a fruit loop isn't news to me, or have you forgotten that I was at the wrong end with her in the past." He pauses briefly after realizing what he said. "Wow... that didn't come out right. When I say at ends, I don't mean that we were... intimate. C'mon, I wouldn't go that far with her. Just look at her! She has the body of one of my 15 year old fangirls!"

"Punk, do you think I'm stupid? Don't you remember? "Text messages that aren't fit to be said on the USA Network" or whatever the line was? Besides, you're CM Punk. What girl couldn't resist going that far with you?" She'd said with a sigh, before running a hand through her hair. "Not only only did she burn my belongings that I brought to this arena but AJ told the entire world deep, dark stuff about me. What happened with my parents, being estranged from my dad, the shitty job I used to do and the abusive relationship I was in a few years ago..." Her eyes began to get a little teary. "I can't let her get away with everything she's done."

He comforted her with his arm draped over her shoulders. "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... I used to date AJ Lee. Believe it or not, she shared with me some secrets that she swore to kill me if they ever came public... You know, since you plan on ending her anyway mind if I share a few stories with you?"

After hearing Punk's words, she wiped the tears away from her eyes. "Hmm... go on. I already know a lot about AJ, however you definitely know some stuff that only a girl shares to somebody she's intimate with." She lightly smirked. "So, go on."

CM Punk smirks. "Wow, I thought she would brag about that threesome she had with Cena and Nikki... C'mon let's talk in private in your locker room. We don't want those ReAction pervs spoiling this surprise."

"Eww, gross... Anyway, I love your idea so let's totally discuss it in my locker room but I think there's a lot of catching up we gotta do which would definitely cheer me up after a horrible night where I had to deal with that foot freak Amanda and Cray-J." Lise Starr opened the locker room door and held one of Punk's hands. "Another thing, before we get to that, Slammiversary is very soon so I am going to make sure I put AJ's head on a stick, just like you will with Genesis. Think of this also as a way to prepare for our matches, if you know what I mean."

CM Punk shook his head. "I don't swing that way, Lisey. I only put girls on my 'stick'... get it right."

She glared at him, showing her annoyance. "You know what I'm trying to say, you'll kick his ass. Whatever…" Lise dragged Punk into the locker room, ending the segment.

[Tyler Storm]

The ReAction crew finds Tyler Storm after the show ends and even though he lost, he still has the cocky smile on his face.

Rc:Hey Tyler, Do you mind if I ask you a few questions.

Ts:Sure thing Jhonny!

But my names not Jhonny.Its Steven.

Steven sounds too biblical for me, What about Randy, Would you mind if I called you Randy?

R?:I guess you can.What do you think about new comer Josiah Christiansen being the winner of the triple threat match? And can you comment on you two teaming up during the match to combat INked?

I think its great that he won his debut match.Can't say I don't wish it were me, but as long as INked are still punks I might just make it my mission to see they don't ever win again.I think we worked well together considering that we haven't tagged together before, but we both got tired of INked.So as long as Keri didnt win I was happy.I want to wish josiah good luck in GZWA, and who knows when we will tag up again.As for INked...Just watch yourselves.Just like lightning, You won't see me coming.

The scene fades as Tyler was away.

[❤Rose❤]

After the show is over Amanda and the Kat are back in their locker room. Still a bit damaged from that match, but pretty satisfied with the result, Amanda sits down on the couch and looks at Kat.

"Ok Hun, this night has been awesome. Not only that we took two wins tonight, no, I also wiped the floor with this stupid bitch Lise. And you did awesome too against this stupid Morgan. Now I think everybody knows that it's better not to mess with us."

She smiles over at Kat, who looks off as Amanda continues speaking.

"Yeah ..it was an awesome match. The only thing that bothers me is that the rest of your former friends thought they had to get involved too. Shit, and my stupid sister also had to interfere. Ok, it was awesome that she got fired for her stupid actions, but I think it's time that we teach her a lesson now."

Kat folds her arms and nods nonchalantly, rolling her eyes. "We should cut her head off and drink the blood from her corpse..."

Amanda laugh out as she hears this. "Haha, yes, that would have been fun. But I think as a shrunken head she would be awesome too. At least better than running around here and talking crap about us."

Kat crushes her hands into her fists and speaks deeper. "Oh nobody'll be talking crap about us, because they'll die..."

Amanda looks at her and smiles in a mean way. "Well, yes. Hopefully. So we should rip them in parts, as earlier as better. I really have enough of these morons. They go on my nerves. And it's time that they see that nobody can stop the MisFits."

Kat stands up and strokes her hand across the wall rubbing her forehead across it. "Exactly...I may have the same name as a feline, but when I get on my hands on your sister, it'll be like a dog chewing on a hunk of meat..."

No a Amanda stands up and walks behind Kat. She whispers in her ear. "Well, that's good. This way I don't have to make my hands dirty and nobody can say that I fucked up my own sister."

"My hands won't be dirty either...Because I'll be using my mouth as well as my hands to tear everything apart." Kat slides her hand across the wall, clawing it with a dead look on her face.

"Eww ...don't you think that this is disgusting?" Amanda giggles lightly as she runs her fingers through Kat's hair. "But I love this thought."

Kat puts her head back, looking at the ceiling blankly. "Blood is the greatest thing to bathe in, especially when it's the blood of someone I despise..."

"Haha, blood is awesome, but for a bath I would know something else, but this we can do when everything is over. Haha." Amanda winks at Kat and licks her lips.

Kat chuckles and rubs her hands through her hair as she walks to the door. "I just like causing people pain. It's fun hearing the screams."

"There you're right. Some violence is always good. I love this too." She looks over to Kat and winks at her.

Opening the door, Kat looks out and stretches her arms. "I'm gonna head out and break some people right now. Later, boss."

Amanda watches her leaving and laughs. "Then have some fun."

[Kayda Erikson]

AJ Styles is limping backstage after his steel cage match against El Arrendajo Ardiente when the ReAction crew catches up with him.

AJ, with everything that El Arrendajo Ardiente has put you and Mei Long through, how did it feel to finally get your hands on him in a steel cage?

AJ takes a moment to reflect, before answering the question.

You know what? It feels pretty good. El Arrendajo Ardiente has been nothing but a thorn in my side since he arrived, and I feel like he finally got what he deserved tonight. But tonight, isn't the end. Oh, no! It's only beginning. At Slammiversary, that's when it all ends...and when all is said and done? I'll still be champion.

Any thoughts on Mei's title defense at Slammiversary?

I know Mei will be fine out there. We both have been champion for over a year, and we're going to do our best to keep it that way. Speaking of Mei, I'm sure she's probably waiting for me. I'll catch up with you guys later.

Thanks, AJ.

[INked™]

Keri Chanel and Greg are seen backstage. Greg is sitting down icing his head. The sound of a match going on can be heard as the group acknowledge the reaction crew.

.:RC:.
First off guys, Greg great showing out there tonight. It seems as if Tyler doesn't like you guys around here much. Why is that?

.:Greg:.
I honestly don't know what his problem is. We are just some fun having kids. Me and Keri never meant anyone any harm that didn't have it coming. In all honesty, I think it has less to do with us and mire to do with someone else amongst us.

Greg gives Chanel a side eye and looks back at the reaction crew.

.:Greg:. Look guys gonna cut this short tonight. My head is killing me. See ya later.

Keri and Greg get up and walk away while Chanel stays behind

.:Chanel:. Look there might be something going on and it might be my fault. I don't know just yet but i'll keep you guys posted. Promise.

Chanel smiles and crosses her fingers and then walks away as the scene fades

[♡☈ɑ√əη]

“It was MY choice! I don’t see how it even should’ve involved you!..................Did you call just to yell at me about this?.............Ma, I can’t deal with this right now. It’s bad enough Amber did this on live TV, it’s just too much with you and dad down my neck about this. Bye.”

*With that, Raven abruptly hung up on her mother. no doubt that she’d be getting an earful about that at a later time. Raven eyes cut to the side, side-eye the ReAction crew rushing up to her. They slow down catching the glare that obviously says that she does not want to be bothered. They continued to approach with caution as the look on Raven’s face hasn’t changed a bit.*

"Um……..well…..Ra…." *he clears his throat dodging eye contact not to feel intimidated and do his job but he could feel Raven’s look either way* "Raven, tonight was a bittersweet night for you. On one hand you advanced to the finals and won in the Women’s Championship Tournament. On the other you had it pulled away from you and put on the line on the next Primetime against Amber. Also, Amber has dug up a personal part of your past as you’ve done her the past few---"

*the interviewer stopped mid-sentence as he saw Raven’s feet walk closer to him. Raven snaps her fingers in his face telling him to at least look her eye-to-eye doing this interview. He looks up only to catch a cold glare from the brown eyes of The Ultimate Vixen.

"I am not worried about next week. I’m facing the same woman that couldn’t beat me to secure her own spot. I’m going up against who I’ve already beaten so I just have to do the same thing on the next Primetime. No biggie. I have no problem beating Amber, the thing is how badly I’m going to beat her. She’s only been in a ring with me once, but this next time around I’m feeling more giving of an ass beating. And as for what happened between her and I tonight? No fucking comment. Move."

*Raven commanded them as she pushed them to the side herself walking away, wanting to say no more on the subject*

[Darklord Enterprises/The Cobra]

The ReAction team catches up with "The Python" Dustin Holt to get his reactions.

ReAction: Dustin, what did you think of your protege's performance on PrimeTime?

Dustin Holt: There is a reason I brought Josiah here and that reason is because he is special. Tonight is the first for him to really take control of his career.

R: You three were signed to a fed that basically you guys go. Why did you decide to come to GZWA?

Dustin: Its no secret that Josiah, Connie and myself were in another company which is why i never debuted here in GZWA. Now that we are no longer contracted to that sorry piece of shit,
the three of us look to show them why we were the best they had to offer.

R: When will you debut?

Dustin: Whenever Z needs a big name on the marquee then i will debut or whenever he sees fit. The Python will be coiled and ready.

R: Thanks for your time

Dustin: No problem

[♡☈ɑ√əη]

The scene begins with the sound of yelling able to be heard throughout the entire backstage area of the GZWA arena. As we take a closer look and listen we see that the source of the yelling is a phone conversation being had by Raven and Victor Phillips, via speaker phone. With the controversy that was revealed about Raven’s past recently on Primetime, it’s obvious that tensions are high with the couple.


vic| ARE YOU KIDDING ME, RAE? ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME? HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT THIS?

rae| Okay, I really need the dial of your voice to turn from Jennifer Hudson down to Michael Jackson. What did you want me to tell you, Vic? That there was more to Leon and I fooling around before you & I ever met? I am not about to apologize or feel sorry for something that happened before us.

vic| Are you really trying to pass this off as a minor thing? This isn't "Me and Leon, had a dog that I never told you about"...I think the fact that a guy that we deal with every week, was the father of your unborn child, deserves mention. I, I just don't belie...

Victor pauses mid-sentence as he is truly lost for words at the moment.

rae| Look! This was a decision I made a LONG time ago, okay? I don't see how this has to affect us in anyway now.

vic| You know what Rae, it's clear that the importance of this situation isn't getting through to you. I'm not saying you have to be this open book because that's not you, but something like this shouldn't have been brushed under the rug. But I'm not going to waste my breath trying to get that into your stubborn head. So call me when you ARE ready to talk.

rae| UGH! Whatever!

Just like that Raven hung up on her end not knowing if Victor did that same and at this point, not caring if he did.

[Kayda Erikson]

All the doors down the hallway of the GZWA locker room are shut with the exception of the door closest to the main area. This door is cracked a bit, and an eerie glow is emitted from the room. As the ReAction crew get closer, music can be heard along with a female voice singing along to the lyrics.

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I'll love you till the end of time.

The ReAction crew get closer to the cracked door, pushing it open slightly to reveal The Unholy Angel, Kayda Erikson sitting on the floor of the locker room facing away from the door. There are three candles behind her, one on each side of her and presumably a couple more in front of her all lit with their flames glowing as bright as her hair, illuminating a small area of her locker room. Sensing she's being watched, Kayda whips her head around making eye contact with the interviewer, who stands slightly uncertain as to what her reaction will be. Instead of being angry, Kayda smiles much to the relief of the interviewer, who releases the breath he was holding.

You must be here to talk to me about what happened tonight.

The interviewer nods, and after he does, Kayda blows out the candles surrounding her, leaving the room in total darkness.

It's simple really. When you play with fire, sooner or later, you're going to get burned.

Kayda turns the light on in her locker room, but blocks the interviewer's view of what she was involved with before he interrupted, as he tries to get a glance around her.

Ms. Erikson, would you mind sharing what you were doing before we interrupted?

I'm sorry, but it's a little personal. I guess you could say, it's a little obsession I have.

A smile crosses over The Unholy Angel's face, as the light catches her eyes, causing a slightly evil twinkle to reflect from them. The interviewer remains silent wanting her to continue, but she claps her hands together, and leads him towards the door.

Now, back to what happened tonight. Sapphire talks about being the so-called Crown Jewel, but her crowning achievement was sleeping with Genesis when he was the Television Champion. That's the closest to gold that she's ever been. She says that she'll wrestle against men and women. Well, Kristine, it sounds great on paper, but I think we'd rather not know what you do in your time away from the ring. You think that just because I'm new, I don't know what goes on here?

Kayda pulls a small pill bottle from her pocket, and sprinkles the contents on a nearby table. A white crystal like substance that she forms into messy lines before pretending to snort them. Next, she pulls a water bottle from under the table, and unscrews the top. She sniffs the contents before backing away as if a pungent odor is being wafted into her nose. She then proceeds to take a huge gulp of the contents, before chucking the bottle in a nearby trash can.

Still think I don't know? Except what you were using wasn't just sugar and water. You think you're the best wrestler back here? You have to earn it, Sapphire. You can't just open your legs to everyone, drink and use drugs in your own little world and pretend like everything's okay.

All of a sudden, Kayda leans forward and catches herself on the table. Her breathing becomes heavy, and she closes her eyes before her fingers slip from the table and she falls to the floor shaking as if she's having a seizure. The interviewer drops the microphone, and kneels down beside her.

Oh my God, Kayda, are you all right? Kayda, can you hear me?

Kayda immediately stops shaking and opens her eyes, still lying on the ground. A sick smile forms on her face, much to the surprise of the interviewer, and The Unholy Angel rises to her feet laughing.

Of course, I'm all right. Now, Sapphire, on the other hand? She's going to get what she deserves. Sieben Mal. (Seven times)

Kayda rubs her hands together and laughs as she walks away humming to herself while the interviewer is noticeably distraught over Kayda's mockery of Sapphire's overdose.

[Justice]

The ReAction cameras find "The Voluptuous Vixen" Justice at home. Justice is sitting comfortably between two of the Chimbos who have crossed their arms forming a chair while a third is behind the Vixen providing back support. Justice is dressed casually in a tight baby tee and leather pants watching Primetime.



Hello Miss Justice. Our viewers would like to know why the co-owner of GZWA doesn't feel the need to attend her own shows.

A smirk crosses the Vixen's face as she watches ZX and Serena Dent fire Mariah from her position as General Manager of Primetime.

Miss Justice! Excuse me, but we have questions for you.

Again Justice acts as though the man is not even there.

A little while later, the 6-man tag rematch appears on the screen and Justice leans forward slightly, watching intently. When all hell breaks loose, Justice bursts out laughing.

Aaaaahhhhhhhaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaha!

Justice is violently convulsing in her makeshift chair created by the Chimbos and pointing at the screen. The co-owner is laughing so hard that tears are starting to pour out of her eyes. Thomas Morning appears on camera, looking more than a little annoyed.

Well, it looks like we won't be getting any answers today...

Thomas draws his hand across his throat in a motion to cut as Justice in the background bursts into a new fit of laughter, even louder than the last.

[Xion Zeros]

Note: This is a VERY lengthy experiment that I wanted to do for ReAction. I would like to thank ❀ℋine 'ea❀, Kayda Erikson, and Tia Brooks for their contribution this segment.

On the other side of the wooden door, a few knocks erupted before creaking open, revealing "The Georgia Peach" Morgan Davis in a casual black maxi dress. Her lips were curled, and her eyebrows lowered, expressing her anger over her loss at Primetime. She refused to get interviewed, or else she would be afraid of punching one of the interviewer’s in the face unintentionally.

However, Morgan saw another change once she entered her room’s office, or what was becoming her former office. The area contained boxes of Mariah’s possessions placed on the desk. Another sight that Morgan witnessed was a woman behind those boxes, reclined on the chair with her head resting on her hands. Her emotion remained a mystery. Morgan’s anger had shifted into curiosity, taking a step closer to solve the clues of what this woman was thinking.

“Mariah?”

Mariah hid her face within her hands as she cried. She looked up briefly to acknowledge Morgan’s presence before pulling her knees up close to her chest and burying her face back within her hands.

Between sobs, she spoke softly, “I’m here…”

Morgan blew out a forceful sigh with her lips. Morgan was well aware of the news that transpired in Primetime. That Mariah was no longer the Commissioner. No more putting business into breaking all of the rules. No more requesting matches. This was something Morgan would worry about, especially when she knows hardly anything about Serena Dent.

Even worse was how Mariah was reacting to it all. Drops of tears flowing down her eyes, ruining her black eye shadow, and smearing along her cheeks.

Loyal Morgan was quick to come to her aid, snatching a box of tissues from Mariah’s cardboard box, before placing it in front of Mariah, and traveling behind Morgan, giving her many pats on the back. Even “patting someone’s back” was out of Morgan’s character, and even she was surprising herself at how counselling she was becoming.

“I know this has been a….. difficult time for you, Mariah. No longer working as the commissioner and all. Even I saw that you worked really hard with your position, only for it to be taken away from you.”

Mariah perks up a bit at Morgan’s uncharacteristic form of comforting her before surprising Morgan. She took the tissue and carefully wiped around her eyes before erupting into laughter as tears still ran down her face. Mariah’s laughter confused Morgan.

“I appreciate your kind words and you taking the time to be here for me, Morgan, but the truth is… I’m not crying because I’m upset. These are tears of joy. You haven’t had the pleasure of knowing Serena as long as I have, but she did me a huge favor tonight. I don’t know what is Xion’s problem as of late, but he was mere seconds away from firing me for getting involved in your match earlier tonight. Instead, Serena gave me the tool that we have been needing for a while now in this fight against the MisFits. Now that I’m officially back on the active roster, I can get in the ring and fight side-by-side with my sisters in this group just like I have wanted to do for months now.”

After the sound of Mariah being satisfied over becoming a part of the diva roster, Morgan herself was equally satisfied as well, and also feeling relieved that Mariah still had guts over the changes in the administration, and Mariah’s own personal live. Morgan struck a smile on her face before sitting on the edge of the desk.

“I shouldn’t have known that you weren’t that type of bitch to cry over a loss. I almost doubted you.”

Mariah smirks, “I’m not Kat - quick to call herself the toughest and roughest of us all, but ran off crying like spoiled brat when didn’t get what she wanted. I'm done trying to understand what Kat's problem is.”

Morgan proceeded to roll her eyes, feeling irritated over the name.

“You know what? The chapter of even giving a damn about that crazy bitch is through.
I done being friends with Kat period, especially after the bullshit that happened tonight!”

Mariah nodded enthusiastically, “She made it painfully obvious that she doesn't want anything to do with us when she tried to break your arm. At Slammiversary let's make sure we burn the book on this matter completely.”

“Exactly,“ Morgan adds, “Let's make sure her reality show gets CANCELLED! That bitch is gonna get hers!”

Mariah folds her arms,”Hmph. The only reality she's going to get is the harsh reality with my foot up her ass.”

Mariah adds as she grins, “Let’s make sure this beating we give The MisFits is the ‘DaBomb Dot Com,’ eh?”

“Absolutely. After you finish up here, how about we grab a bite to eat?”, Morgan would conclude.

"That sounds lovely, bestie. Just let me take this call. I catch up to you right after," Mariah retorted before she excused herself to answer her vibrating iPhone.

---

A few days have past since the Primetime in which we saw "The Crown Jewel" Sapphire, at both her lowest point and her highest point all in the same night. First, her known addiction to cocaine and vodka caused her to violently overdose, however, out of the lowest point, came the highest, when her boyfriend, Genesis, realized that he was still in love with her.

Now, Sapphire is at her apartment in Melbourne Beach, FL and she’s taking some time to recover after being released from the hospital a day or so ago. She sprawls across her living room couch, sighing heavily. She knows who she needs to call, and although she pulls out her phone, she’s apprehensive about dialing. Once she does, she lifts her iPhone to ear listening to a few rings, taking a breath and slowly releasing it as she hears someone pick up.

Immediately, Sapphire heard a barrage of profanities in Spanish before she heard Mariah switch to a language she could comprehend.

"Kristine, I should kill you for even picking up such a dirty habit! But I thank the Lord that you're alright, even more so that you have your Prince 'Not-So-Charming' back in your life. I swear, I don't know what I'm going to do with you..."

As she heard Mariah screaming in both languages into her ear, she pulled the phone away a few inches. She glanced down at the ground, knowing she was right, pangs of guilt hitting with every heartbeat.

“Yeah, I’m okay, Mariah. Thanks. I know, and I feel like shit too. I was clean for so long, and just one night with that stupid piece of -- I don’t even have a word for him. Anyway, I want to clean up again. Especially, since Genesis and I are back together. He deserves to be with someone who lives a clean and healthy lifestyle. I love him too much to hurt him anymore. Plus, I still have unfinished business in the ring after tonight."

A heavy sigh escapes Mariah’s lips before she comments, “Well… I don’t know if you heard the news or not, but I’m not Interim Commissioner anymore. Serena came back and fired me on the spot… only to rehire me as a wrestler on the active roster. So… who knows, maybe I could get a chance to whip you into shape after I wipe that smile off Katie’s face. I don’t want to see you back in that ring until you have a clean bill of health from the doctor.”

“I know,” Sapphire sighed, “Gen told me while I was recovering. I’m grateful that you’ll be active again, but I hope Serena knows the shit I’ve had to deal with recently.”

Sapphire takes another breath at the mention of Katie’s name. On one hand, she feels really bad knowing that she used her in a way, but on the other, after what she did, she knows she deserves it.

“Anyway, I hope you make Katie pay for what she did, turning her backs on you guys like that. If I knew that’s what she planned to do, I would have pushed her off that building when I had the chance to. I promise that I won’t compete actively until I’m clean and sober. For several reasons. But, I will be in that ring next Primetime to discuss what happened tonight after my match. Oh, and if you haven’t already seen Kayda’s ReAction, you might want to take a look. Just in case you need inspiration to kill someone. Of course, the joke’s on her. She mocked my past, but what she doesn’t know is that I took the liberty to find out a little about hers. Her closet is loaded with skeletons and on Primetime, they’re all going to be exposed.”

She smiles and laughs knowing that she’s going to get revenge and this is seemingly a new start for her.

“Kristine… about you and Katie… What exactly happened between you two? The only thing I got the jest of is that she felt like used toilet paper after being with you. That’s how it seemed like to me when I tried to ask her what was wrong. To be fair, she didn’t have all of her marbles to begin with, but I guess it didn’t take much to drive her over the edge, especially with my crazy sister in the driver’s seat of that crazy train…”

“Well, that makes two of us who didn’t have it all together at that point. I really did like her, and she helped me to take my mind off of Genesis...in the right now. I don’t know, I guess maybe if it was a different time and a different place, things could have possibly been better between us. In a way, I can’t help thinking that it’s because of me that she went off and joined Amanda’s little group. Amanda and I never saw eye to eye, and it’s because of her that this whole thing started. Well, it’s my fault that the whole thing happened. She just spoke prematurely and caused Gen to shit bricks before I could even explain anything. I don’t know, MiMi. It just seems like nothing’s going my way lately, and then I have Little Miss Firecrotch all in my face now. I really need to just get myself focused again...which I will very soon.”

Mariah shook her head as she leaned against the wall, “Don’t place all of the blame onto your shoulders. I’m just as guilty as you or anyone else is on Katie’s psychological breakdown. I allowed my position to distract me from what was truly important. That’s why I blame myself for not realizing that both you and Katie needed me. Now look where it got both of you.I’m going to remedy these mistakes, starting with Kat at Slammiversary. I promise, Kristine, I’m going to make this up to you too.”

“I know I let Katie down. She trusted me, and I told her that what she and I had wasn’t just a one time thing. I wanted more with her, I really did and I never meant to hurt her, but that’s just it. It’s all I know how to do. Anyway, I don’t blame you at all, MiMi. It was my mistake to even go out with Trent Lewis in the first place.”

She takes a moment to think back on that night, and shakes her head sighing in embarrassment.

Mariah lightens the mood, “Oh, please. You could definitely have done worse than Trent. You could have slept with Carter. (Both share a laugh) Seriously though, about Genesis… You can place the blame of getting you all screwed up with him - in more ways than one - on me. It was my fault that I broke up with Genesis in first place and put him on the market again… Well, on second thought… I guess you can thank me for that one.”

Sapphire can’t help but smile, knowing everything Mariah said was the truth.

“I do thank you, but I want you to be happy too. I promise when I get my shit together, things are going to be different with me too. Anyway, I’d better get going. I told Gen that I’d call him while I’m packing. Thanks for everything. I’ll see you on Primetime.”

Mariah teases, “Of course, you don’t want to keep Loverboy waiting…” She looks at her Caller ID and notices another incoming call and smiles at the name that shows up. “Well, what do you know… Little girl lost finally broke her silence. Don’t mention it, Kristine. Let’s try to do lunch before the next show. Call me when you arrive at the arena, okay?”

“Sounds good, and I will. Take care.”

Sapphire pulls the phone away from her ear and presses the button to disconnect, before dialing Genesis’ number.

After hanging up with Sapphire, Mariah greets her caller, "Howdy, stranger. Long time no see. You don't write, you don't call, I'm starting to wonder if you don't even care about our little family anymore..."

The voice on the other end happens to be Tia Brooks. Tia let's out a slight sigh, "Sorry MiMi, I know I should have contacted you and the girls some way, but I have been so focused. I have been on the road of repackaging myself. I want to return with a bang. Leave everyone in the GZWA Universe speechless. Of course The Queen Bees have been on my mind, same as Tennel. I have been tuning in, I seen what's been going on. I'm just waiting for the right moment."

"You sure picked a fine time to leave us high and dry, girl. I can forgive you... and I'm sure Morgan will too after you buy her a bottle of that champagne she likes... but we're concerned about your well-being. Is your back all healed up? Did we do anything in particular to scare you off?" she grinned.

Mariah took a deep breath and added, "We lost Katie..."

"Why would Katie wanna leave the coolest chicks in the wrestling business? Hope some sense comes back to her. As for my back, I feel about 95% fine. But you know I am a tough cookie, so the extra 5% needed doesn't matter. Like I said, I'm not going to be gone too long, just trying to find the old Tia Brooks. Don't worry though, I'm not talking about the backstabbing bitch that I use to be either. I'm talking about the one who kicked ass and took names. The rebel punk chick who didn't give a damn on what authority thought. It won't affect us one bit. It is the edge that I need back into my life to get my way back to the top."

"I'm not worried about that Tia Brooks coming back. If she was coming back then she would have left us for CM Punk ages ago. I hope you find what you need, Tia - and soon. I won't lie. This isn't looking too good with The MisFits having the numbers advantage against just Morgan and me. We'll do what we can in your absence though."

Mariah adds, "When Katie tried to break Morgan's arm, that's when it was painfully obvious she doesn't want anything to do with us anymore. No second chances. I'm just going to put the bitch down."

"You do that! No one crosses the QBM, even if it was one of our own. Don't worry, you got my word to never do such a thing. Queen Bee Mafia for life. I know I need to get in touch with Tennel as well. Poor thing must be lost without her mentor."

"I tried to give her a motivation speech prior to her match in the finals, but I wasn't sure it was a good enough substitute for the real deal. I haven't seen her since after everything that went down tonight."

"Thanks for trying though. I'm sure she will bounce back, she just needs to stay focused on herself and stop worrying about little ol me. Same with you ladies. Destroy the MisFits the best way that you know how. I will be back soon."

"We'll do our best. Keep in touch, Tia. And make sure you take care of yourself, okay? We don't want anything to stop you from coming back home to your friends."

"You got it, gurl! Talk to you later and tell Morgan, I'll take y'all out for a victory party."

"Sure thing," smiled Mariah as she hung up her iPhone and eagerly raced down the hall to catch up with Morgan Davis.
