ReAction -- Primetime 3-21-14

[Xion Zeros]

This Episode's Topics:

• Tonight's opening contest saw newcomer Drew Blood defeat Travis Century, but who was the mysterious masked Superstar watching at ringside and what did does he want in GZWA?
  
  
• "The Marvelette" Lauren Riley and "The Canadian Firecracker" Ruby Cooper put the Divas division on notice with their amazing contest tonight, which ended in a draw. What emotions are going through these two Divas' minds after this match?
  
  
• Diva fans rejoiced at the vignette that confirmed the news that Lita would be debuting on the GZWA roster in the near future. What does the other members of the Divas roster have to say about the Queen of Extreme joining GZWA?
  
  
• The Fallen ("The Anti-Diva" Paige & "Emo-Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs) defeated INked (Greg Ramirez & Keri Cruz) in a spectacular Hardcore Match in their second round appearance of the Tag Team Tournament. How will INked bounce back from this loss in the Losers' Bracket?
  
  
• "The King of Controversy" Genesis continues to torment "The Unholy Angel" Kayda Erikson. driving her to lose her temper in their match later that evening. Will Genesis' tormenting ever cease and what is this secret that he is constantly hanging over her head?
  
  
• Newcomer Stacie Sanchez-Torres defeated Tennel Blade in her GZWA debut. How is Tennel Blade coping with her loss? What is next for the self-proclaimed "Sexy Senorita"?
  
  
• GZWA Women's Champion "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven faced off against "The Black Widow" AJ Lee in a match that ended after Raven refused to release her submission hold on AJ Lee, who clearly did not submit, but managed to secure a rope break. Raven expressed some choice words for the Black Widow before the recently rehired "Heartbreaker" Lise Starr stormed the ring for payback. It's obvious that there is bad blood between all of these women, but does this turn of events mean that the Black Widow has to worry about the combined threats of both The Ultimate Vixen and the returning Heartbreaker? And where does the #1 contender to the Women's Championship, "The Beautiful Dragon" Mei Long, fit in all of this?
  
  
• Despite the excellent performance from all four teams, The Fallen ("The Anti-Diva" Paige & "Emo Warrior" Jimmy Jacobs) were able to walk away as the winners after defeating INked (Greg Ramirez & Keri Cruz w/ Chanel Rodriguez), The Bradleys (Danielle Bradley & GZWA Television Champion "Meta" Mike Bradley), and Ladies of Doom ("The E.N.D." Endee Leights & "Lady So Divine" Delta Madison). What stipulation will The Fallen choose for their upcoming second round match?
  
  
• "Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson continued to show her dominance by disposing of Alexis McCarthy backstage. The MisFits continued to make mischief on tonight's broadcast as  "Hardcore Harlot" Amanda Cortez caused The Bradleys ("Meta" Mike Bradley & Danielle Bradley) to lose against the Ladies of Doom ("Lady So Divine" Delta Madison & "The E.N.D." Endee Leights), thanks to her interference. The Ladies of Doom can't be sitting well with Amanda's method to her madness, so what is going through their minds after tonight's match-up? The Bradleys showed some instability in their team after the match, which saw Mike and Danielle arguing over Mike losing his temper. Is there trouble in paradise between the Bradley siblings?
  
  
• "Five Count Fiend" Big E Langston defeated "The Black Dahlia" Joe Black to maintain his winning streak. Big E was set to team-up with the returning CM Punk to face off against The Enforcers, but was taken out before the match even started. Will Big E Langston return to GZWA after the injuries he suffered tonight?
  
  
• After another distraction from GZWA Women's Champion "The Ultimate Vixen" Raven, Amber Torres allowed her temper to get the best of her and allowed "The Beautiful Dragon" Mei Long to steal the win right from underneath her nose in tonight's triple threat match. After the result, Amber took her frustrations out on "Straight-Edge Vixen" Tia Brooks, who was merely trying to approach her as a friend. Will we see the relationship between Leon Torres and Amber Torres come to an end after Raven's foul play?
  
  
• "Voluptuous Vixen" Justice experienced the wrath of "The Hardcore Monster" Carnage that was served first-hand to the Chimbos and especially to Carter, but somehow managed to sneak away with a win in tonight's Steel Cage Match when Carnage threw Carter into the cage wall and knocked both Justice and Carter down to the floor. Will Carnage vengeance end here or will Justice find a way to stop the Hardcore Monster for good?
  
  
• Samuel Shaw offered to come to Nikki Bella's aid in tonight's Tag Team Tournament bout between the newly formed Extreme Juggalos ("High Flying Extremist" The Enigma & "Straight-Edge Juggalo" Ryan Kendrick), but John Cena promptly refused his offer by force when Shaw couldn't take a hint. Will Shaw's quest for a new 'interest' end here or will he find another Diva to suit his unique needs?
  
  
• GZWA World Heavyweight Champion "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles defeated "The People's Champion" Hano Eiyu after an unexpected assist from "The King of Controversy" Genesis. Was Genesis looking out for his own best interests for Final Encounter or merely settling the score between himself and Hano Eiyu?
  
  
• Tonight's broadcast ended with an impromptu addition to the Tag Team Tournament, which saw the returning "Best in the World" CM Punk team up with "The Dark Savior" Suicide. The unlikely duo defeated The Enforcers (Dequan Wallace & G-Money Briggs) after Dequan accidentally took out the GZWA Chairman Xion Zeros. Who would have thought that tonight's Primetime broadcast would end with the Best in the World sitting on the top of the world with the GZWA Chairman and The Enforcers defeated?

(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.)

[Justice]

It is very late and the arena is dark. Primetime has been finished for a few hours now. There is barely a soul left in the building. Even the janitorial staff have finished for the day and gone home. The ReAction crew themselves have finished with their last segments and are about to go home themselves when they notice that there is still one well-lit hallway in the backstage area. Wondering who could still be at the arena at such a late hour and more importantly, what they are doing in the dead of night, the crew walks down the hall to investigate. They hear quiet shuffling noises from behind the door to the office of the co-owner Justice with an occasional strange noise that sounds something like a ripping sound. To everyone’s surprise, the door opens and the Vixen emerges carrying a cardboard box.



Oh bloody hell. I was certain you blokes had retired for the evening. I suppose this is an appropriate time as any to explain what you have stumbled upon here.

Justice sighs while she sets the box down beside her. Groans can be heard as Justice stands, still feeling the effects of her main event match earlier. When she looks into the camera again, Justice seems sad, almost defeated. An unusual look for the Vixen.

My recent dealings with the Board are secret to no one. They are not happy with the direction that Xion has chosen to walk in recent weeks and have been pressuring myself to enlighten him in addition to correcting what they feel are “gross errors in judgment”. I fail to understand how any of this is my concern but they made it such.

One topic that was not offered for public consumption which led to some of the… louder… discussions that I have had recently with the Board. As of midnight tonight, my own contract as an on-air talent expires. At this time, I have not been offered a new contract to peruse. When I confronted the Board about this oversight, they plainly stated that they feel it is in everyone’s best interests that I not be “distracted” from the goal of bringing this company back in line with minor things such as world titles, aiding and protecting our champions, bringing in paying customers, et. Al. This will be my last on-air segment for GZWA.

Gasps can be heard from off-camera. A few quiet comments are picked up by the microphone like “Are they serious?” and “Justice makes us too much money” and “Sales are gonna drop. Fast.” Justice stoically weathers the comments and waits for them to stop before she continues.

I am in complete agreement with all of these sentiments. However, there is precious little I have the ability to do in this matter. In my final moments, I would like to address a situation or two. Firstly, Mister Carnage. Do not feel abandoned by the Board’s actions. I have already seen to your situation. You have evolved greatly in the time that we have worked together and while I shall greatly miss our… interactions… your efforts shall not go forgotten nor unrewarded. I have arranged for you to be a challenger for the Television Championship alongside Miss Cortez.

Justice rolls her eyes.

Mister Bradley. Please refrain from using this as a launching pad for yet another delusional rant about how hard your life in GZWA is because of me. The fact of the matter is, you have lived an exceptionally charmed life since attaining that title. You have had NO challenger until recent weeks when Miss Cortez has taken up the challenge. Also, allow me to remind you that the Television Championship has traditionally been a threesome affair. In addition, you seem to find yourself with enough free time to challenge for a second title at the expense of the duties that are required by carrying the Television Championship. Consider this as your wake up to the realities of carrying a title.

Justice takes a deep breath. Afterwards, her face softens a little and a small smirk appears.

Mister distrustful Styles. The short time that we have interacted has been fun. I do wish to assure you that my only agenda was to assist you in recovering from the actions of our former Women’s Champion as quickly and painlessly as possible. I am sure that there is a long lineup of slappers… Divas… that would be more than willing to take my place at your side. I can only hope that you have learned from your interactions with me and will show them the same mistrust and suspicion. Best of luck to you mate. I will be watching.

Justice puts her co-owner’s face back on.

I am sure that most of you are curious about the appearance of Suicide and that a number of you have surmised about how it is that he is able to appear in GZWA. You would be correct. It is by my hand that he has cause to be present. Since I am no longer able to directly influence the shenanigans in the ring, he will be my “champion” of sorts and will bring justice in my stead.

Justice sighs deeply once more.

To all of the GZWA fans, I say thank you. Regardless of whether you adored me or abhorred me, you have supported me in every federation I have worked for and every dizzy scheme that has ever been produced in my “empty-headed” brain. It is exceedingly difficult to walk away from you all, especially under these circumstances. Please remember that I have loved every lord and lady that has ever cheered or booed me. And to my lovable, misguided mate….

Justice is unable to maintain her professional demeanour anymore. Her face falls and tears start welling up in her eyes.

I shall see you in the boardroom Monday morning.

Justice quietly picks up the box at her feet. She inhales deeply through her nose and loudly exhales through her mouth. With as much class as she can muster, the “Voluptuous Vixen” carries her box towards the exit.

[❤Rose❤]

After the show is over Amanda hangs around in the backstage area and waits for her team so that they can go home. She didn't had a match, but she had been the guest commentator in Bradley's tag match and she had managed it to cost him the win and so she's in a really damn good mood. Just as she lights a cigarette a camera team approaches her and she smiles into the camera.

“Oh, I bet you wanna know why I did this …”

Again she smiles, but it's in a mean way and before anybody can talk she continues.

“That's pretty easy to explain. A few weeks ago I challenged this motherfucker and I'm also the no.1 contender for his title and what does he do? He's ignoring me and he acts like nothing bad can happen to him. It seems that he thinks that his title is safe and that he can go for the tag titles too, but there he's so fucking wrong.”

The dark haired girl winks into the camera.

“His title isn't safe and he will never win this tag team tournament. I will take his title the next time I meet him in the ring and really soon Laura and Casey will be the new tag team champions. In this company is no room for losers like Bradley and his fucking sisters. They don't belong here, they belong into the trash and that's what I wanted to prove.”

Now Laura, Casey and Rosé are seen in the backstage area and Amanda waves at them. A last time she turns back to the camera.

“And now you must excuse me …”

She turns around and walks over to her friends, then the scene fades to black.

[Deleted]

Backstage in the GZWA arena, AJ Lee can be seen being tended to by medical staff, keeping her balanced on their shoulders as she weakly coughs and is practically dragged to the medical office. Her eyes are shut, as she clearly still shows signs of being blinded after Lise Starr poured lemonade on her in the middle of a harsh assault mimicking AJ’s own attacks on her. Despite the care and help from the staff, AJ aggressively uses her arms to push them off from her, making her collapse into the wall, barely able to stand. She speaks in a quiet but croaky voice from damage to her throat as she slides on the wall.

“Leave me alone... I can take care of myself... Get away from me!”

Now literally swatting her arms like an annoyed bird towards where she believes the medical crew are located until they reluctantly agree and leave her on her own, AJ continues to drag herself across the wall. She grunts angrily while quietly speaking to herself, with her voice still coming out in the form of a painful sounding rasp while she attempts to restore the sight of her stinging eyes.

“Everyone in this place hates me... They keep trying to get rid of me or hurt me. Raven almost took me out of the game when she attacked me from behind and she almost ended my career by breaking my back before I could take her precious title from her...Then she said all that stuff... Is she right? What's wrong with me? Now Lise is back and she's already trying to kill me...”

Exhausted and in pain, AJ drops to her knees and holds her stomach before brutally dry heaving on the floor, leaving her lying on the floor and coughing wildly. Barely able to move, she raises her arm and grips onto a stage production box, using it to drag herself up to a moderately standing position. She leans on the box and punches it to emphasise her resolve. She begins speaking despite being alone in silence. Her voice comes in a slightly louder pitch but remains guttural.

“No, I’m not licked. Not yet... Raven didn’t finish the job. After her cheap tactics and trying to break me by insulting me, I’m still standing... And I’ll be back for her soon enough to take that title from her for good. As for you, Lise... I was supposed to be done with you... But I guess you still want more of me. Alright then, if that’s how you wants to play sis, then I’ll deal with you next time. Oh yeah... You’re not gonna get away with this. No way... You humiliated me and you hurt me again, Alyssa... And I’m going to repay the favor again…”

Now letting out quiet giggling, AJ limps her way off camera, somehow retaining her strength and conviction, opening her burning eyes as she leaves. As she walks, her hands grip into fists as she walks, and she still continues to emit long and painful sounding coughing.

[The Bradley Clan]

Mike and Danielle Bradley are making their way back to their locker room in complete silence. Christy Hemme and the ReAction crew are waiting for them, but Danielle shoots them a glare.

"We are in no fucking mood, Christy! Fuck off! All of you!"

They back away respectfully, but keep the camera on from a distance.

"Mike, I think that you sometimes forget you're the Television Champion. And when you're champion, you've a got a huge fucking target on your back! You can't be a passive-aggressive weenie when people try to get in your shit! When they hit, you hit back harder! But don't let it cost you a match!!"

"You think I don't know that?! That fucking bitch insulted my wife!! Nobody gets away with talking shit about my family!! NOBODY!!"

"Look, to make matters worse, Carnage is getting another shot at the title thanks to Justice. What are you going to do about that?"

"Carnage couldn't do shit to me last time around, who's to say things will be any different? Listen, we need to make a plan to get back at Cortez... THAT FUCKING CUNT!!"

Danielle grabs Mike by the shoulders.

"Mike! Calm down! You're smarter than this! Listen, I think you need to take your game to the next level. You know you're the best, so you better damn well act like it!"

Mike nods in agreement. Then the proverbial light bulb turns on over his head.

"Next level, eh?... Shortstop, I don't need to take my game to the next level. I AM the Next Level. You know what? Enough of this "Meta" shit. From now on, GZWA better refer to me as "The Next Level" Mike Bradley. I'm gonna fucking come out of the gates next week on fire. We're going to win out in this Tag Team Tournament, I'm going to show Cortez and Carnage who's boss, and whoever's left destroyed in our path, they won't soon forget what we're all about!"

"Now you're talking! That's the Mike I know!"

The Bradleys embrace, then retreat to their locker room.

[Deleted]

After the match,a shocked,scared and confused Nikki Bella made the fastest way she could possibly get to her locker room.We spot a returning John Cena coming behind the curtains and screaming fans



And stops someone in the back to ask where Nikki's room was.One of the workers whispers and points before he nods.Nikki was leaning behind the door sitting down



Still confused about everything tonight.She sighs taking her hat off placing it on the floor and thinks for a moment. "What is he doing back here?" "What does he want?"

A lightly knock startled her and a familiar voice made her almost melt

Nikki?I-it's me...

Nikki missed that voice of his for months.She couldn't help but to debate whether or not to let him in.She's still mad for him about what happened between them.But the other half can't wait to hold him once again.She remains silent before as John sighs and continues

I-I know you must questions about why I showed up tonight.I'll answer them and any ones you have,I just want to know if your okay,a-after what happened....

He says knowing he probably already blew it.He came back for a reason,but that reason isn't even opening the door.He rubs his head after removing his hat.And walks around the hallway.Nikki bites her lower lip,not hearing another word making John "maybe I should leave" he thought to himself.Just as he begins to walk away the door opens up as it fades to black with him staring

[DELT∆]

The reaction crew was able to get some time with the Ladies of Doom to get their thoughts on their match on Primetime. LOD2k14 were able to get the win, only by interference by Amanda Cortez, causing a DQ over the Bradley’s. Without a doubt, Endee and Delta would be disappointed by their cause of win.

Christy Hemme approached the ladies who were casually talking with two other young women. Delta saw Christy and welcomed her over, with Endee moving towards the camera and their acquaintances standing beside them.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you guys.” Christy apologized, thinking she was interjecting Endee and Delta’s personal time.

“No, it’s fine.” Delta put her arms around the two unknown women. “Let me introduce you to the Sisters of Doom… Our older sister, Stefanie.”

The camera panned on to Stefanie, a woman with dark brow hair, wearing a white shirt with “Anti-Socialite” in black text. She half-smiled and waved into the camera.

“….And this is our half-sister, Jeanette.” The camera then panned on to the next woman who also had dark-brown hair. Her frame was tiny, only being a inch or two taller than the tiny Endee. She wore a denim jacket and white singlet top underneath. She saluted the camera and laughed casually.

“I’ve heard that your clan is very big.” Christy joked. “Nice to have you here at GZWA girls.”

“It’s a big deal because Stefanie hates watching wrestling, we had to drag her to watch us wrestle tonight.” Endee teased her older sister.

“Hey now, I’ve watched you guys wrestle plenty.” Stefanie rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Everyone smiled and laughed for a moment before Christy started the interview.

“So girls, it must have been disappointing to have win via disqualification, what are your thoughts?”

Delta crossed her arms obviously not impressed. “It’s annoying. You see, I know Mr. Nickname police has beef with Amanda. I’ve seen the two of them say the word “fuck” more times than the movie Wolf of Wall Street week in and out.”

“I heard that Mikey call Amanda the C – word, that’s not very nice.” Endee shook her head in her nanny state.

“Hey, he is taking it to the next level, he needs to step it up with his insults.” Delta joked.

“Maybe Mike should worry about his own agenda because there is no way the Bradley’s will advance in the tag tournament at this rate with Amanda creeping around. “

“So technically, you guys did win, so we should go out and celebrate.” Jeanette spoke up into the microphone.

“…And that’s what we will do. There will be no fucks given about Amanda or Mike.” Delta nodded her head, while Endee shook her head at Delta’s use of the word fuck.

“Thank you for your time ladies.” Christy said to conclude the interview.

Delta thanked Christy and all four ladies walked off with the camera fading into black.

[Heartbreaker]

After Primetime ends, CM Punk and Suicide are shown exiting through the curtain and are greeted by Christy Hemme and the ReAction camera crew.

"First of all, welcome back to GZWA, Punk. Where and how did you manage to make all of these miracles happen in one night?"

"I don’t know. Maybe it’s my charming personality, or maybe somebody up ‘there’ likes me, but this is the top floor in this arena and I’m pretty sure Sting isn’t creeping around in the rafters. Now Suicide on the other hand…" Punk turns towards his masked companion to see that he already has disappeared. “I swear I have to learn how he does that… It would be pretty cool for playing as Batman around Halloween.” Punk scratches his head. “So I guess you’re not going to get a word with him, but I’m more than happy to take full credit for tonight’s victory over GZWA’s so-called ‘authority’. I suppose they haven’t evolved far enough along the evolutionary chain to hold a candle against me.”

"We all saw you get offered a new contract by Justice, who surprised the GZWA Nation earlier by stepping down as an active competitor, but were you aware that she gave Lise Starr a new contract as well?"

“Of course, I did. It was all part of the plan. I told Lise that I had all of this figured out and I NEVER disappoint. By the way, Christy. Seems like Cena resolved that issue you had with the Shawshank Redemption that was hanging over your shoulder...”

Christy looks away from Punk nervously. “Yeah, I suppose so…”

Right then, Lise Starr approaches Punk and Christy, with her arms folded. She smirks. “Bet AJ didn’t see that happening. So what did you think of my big beatdown on Cray-Jay?” Lise asks, looking at Punk.

CM Punk smirks. “Someone is proud of themselves tonight, aren’t we?” Punk thinks for a moment. “It was kinda messy, yet creative and artistic in the ferocity of the attack. I give it a B+, since you are a B+ player...”

Lise rolls her eyes and lightly punches Punk in the shoulder, she then takes him by the hand and walks away from the curtain, heading into the arena’s hallway. “All joking aside, I need to say how much you made me happy tonight... despite the whole Juggs thing. You stuck to your words and got our jobs back. Because of you, I don’t have to go back to Australia. It means so much to me.”

Punk merely shruggs. “I told you that you worry too much. And that thing with Justice was just to piss her AND Carter off while I rubbed it in Xion’s face that I was getting our jobs back and there was nothing he could do about it.”

“Well, I gotta say, that seems pretty reasonable. Just… thank you. Thank you so much. I don’t know how to repay you. I mean there’s something I can do if you know but I’m being serious.” She chuckles. “Would you enjoy me finally ending AJ at Final Encounter?”

CM Punk shakes his head. “Shame on you, Lise. Business before pleasure. I think everyone will have a happy ending when you put down Ole Yeller down for good. Besides, that IS a good question. Exactly HOW are you going to repay me? You’re already living with me rent-free and scotch-free with no strings attached. I rehabilitated you from your little alcohol problem. I got you your job back and renewed your passion for wrestling. You’re racking up quite a tab here, Miss Lucia.”

Lise looks at Punk with an expression of annoyance. “Yes, you've done a lot for me but it’s shown that keep down, CM Punk does have a heart.” CM Punk’s eyes widen. “SHUT UP! YOU LIE!” Lise laughs. “Relax, Hulk Punk.”

“You were the one who wants to skip on AJ’s grave Wizard of Oz style after Final Encounter.”

“After Final Encounter, AJ means absolutely nothing to me. I thought months ago that was it but she kept pushing and pushing. I’m making sure this is over once and for all. I want to move on to newer, better things.”

“Like marriage…”

“You got my job back, we don’t need to get married.” Lise says, chuckling. “We’re not the marrying type.”

Punk adds. “What are YOU talking about? Bryan wants us to go to that thing remember? I promised him we would be there.”

“Social events aren’t really my thing… Besides, I got a whole lotta preparing to do for the next show. Think I already got something up my sleeve… anyway, let’s get out of here. We need some privacy.” She holds onto Punk’s hand again and they start walking out of the scene together.

CM Punk can be heard saying one more thing. “I swear if you drag me to Hot Topic again, I’m going to leave you. Those fangirls wouldn’t leave me alone the entire time we were there.”

[Kayda Erikson]

The parking lot is pretty abandoned after the show is over. Most of the talent had gone to the local restaurants to grab a bite to eat, and only a few cars remain. One of which, a silver VW Jetta, has the engine on with unfamiliar music able to be heard through the slightly cracked windows. As the camera zooms in, Kayda Erikson can be seen sitting in the driver's seat, her hands on the steering wheel, crossed at the wrists. She glances up, and without turning the volume down, begins to speak.

Ich habe nichts. I have nothing. Everything that I held dear to my heart, I was forced to destroy tonight. For the simple pleasure of a sick, twisted man that I'm forced to obey. But do you hear that? Are you listening?

She stops speaking and motions with a finger to come closer, as she turns the volume up in the car. As it plays, Kayda laughs, almost cackling as it plays. She cracks her knuckles, and smiles. Her eyes grow wider as she soaks in the music, a dark evil tune but with a familiar voice.

Erik, meine Liebe, sing for me. With your voice, am I set free! Your words give me the strength I need! You see? This -- This is Subway to Sally's newest CD, Mitgift. You thought you destroyed everything, didn't you Genesis? Well, this CD hasn't left my car since I got it and because of that, it got spared the fate from tonight.

She pulls out the CD case, opens it and kisses the picture of Eric in the middle, before holding it close to her body.

This is all I have left after tonight. Of course, this is all I need. I am The Unholy Angel, and Erik has come through for me once more. He has taken my heart, made it whole again and replaced what I thought was long gone. Erik, mein Engel, heute Abend war nur der Anfang.

Kayda smiles, holding up seven fingers in her signature "Sieben" taunt.

Sieben ist meine Zahl!

With that, she turns the volume up full blast, backs out of the parking space and drives off into the night.

[Xion Zeros]

OOC: Thanks to SinCityDollz for Brooklyn's dialogue

Primetime is over and GZWA Chairman Xion Zeros is shown shoving the medical staff away as he held an ice pack on his neck after he and The Enforcers lost tonight to CM Punk's foiling his plans.

Dequan Wallace | The Enforcer
"Boss, I'm SOOO sorry for what happened out there. I thought we had that match in the bag."

G-Money Briggs | The Enforcer
"Who would have thought the REAL Suicide would have shown up?"

Xion Zeros | GZWA Chairman
"Shut up! SHUT UP!! Enough of your excuses. I don't care if we have to cripple them the next time, but I will NOT stand with both them winning this tournament."

The Enforcers try to speak up but Xion Zeros shoves them aside and heads down the hall, only to bump into the last person he didn't want to see in his sour mood.



Brooklyn had a epic smirk on her face as she walked passes medical staff talking and shaking there head at the Chairman. Brooklyn stopped right in front of him and said loudly, "Poor Xion, you don't look so good."

Was that bad? Well maybe a little bit but she couldn't help herself. She stepped back when he looked up at her. Brooklyn gave him her famous glamorous smile before she added, "I guess it would be rude to say, you have seen better days."

Xion grits his teeth and utters, "And you've gained weight, you cow! Get out of my face... I don't have the time nor the patience for your foolishness tonight."

His anger didn't scare her, but made her burst out in laughter. This was rich and she was loving every minute of it. If CM Punk was here right now, she would have hugged him. "Tsk...tsk. Xion, your temper is showing. I don't think Tiana would like the way your talking to me." She gave him a mocking smirk.

Xion snaps, "Don't you dare bring up our daughter when you're standing in front of me mocking me. How about you make yourself useful and get lost?"

Brooklyn rolled her eyes the moved to sit next to him. She crossed her legs and locked eyes with Xion saying "Not even in your wildest dreams..." Brooklyn then winked at him before asking "So I guess Punk got one up you this week.... and gave you a nice shiner. So does these mean your going say you're done pretending to play wrestler with the boys in the ring?" Brooklyn paused for a moment then added, "Believe it or not, Tiana isn't the only person who cares about you..."

Brooklyn didn't know why she said it but she realized that it was true the moment it left her mouth. Xion was left speechless for a moment before he stormed off in the opposite direction towards his office, mumbling, "I don't have time for this..."

(A few minutes later...)

Xion is shown kicking his office door open to find Serena Dent sitting on his desk with a clipboard.



Serena Dent | GZWA Commisssioner & Personal Assistant to GZWA Chairman
"I hate to be the one who say it first, but I told you so... I warned you about making me regret giving you the majority shares in the company. Now look at the mess you got yourself in tonight."

"Silence, Serena. Punk's win tonight was a fluke - nothing more, nothing less."

"Oh I'm sorry that your precious little ego is damaged, but you're going to want to hear this, Mr. Zeros. These matters cannot wait and you need to hear this now, despite the condition you're in right now."

Xion sighs heavily as he slumps down into his chair while still holding the ice pack to his aching neck.

"After that vicious beating that she received from Carnage, Justice has officially stepped down as an in-ring competitor on the active roster, claiming that she is siding with the Board to help bring order back to this company."

Xion interjects, "Good riddance..."

Serena sighs, "I'm not done yet... She made a few changes before stepping down as an on-air talent. She added Carnage to the Television Championship Match at Final Encounter and named Suicide as her 'knight' of justice."

"What the hell... So, the Board allowed her to override me and make a drastic change to the match without consulting ME first?"

"The Board stated that since you were preoccupied with your 'situation' with Phillip Brooks in the ring and choose to allow her to make that call. In all honesty, she did rob him of the win in the past, so it's about time that mistake was remedied."

"Ugh..."

"I'm finding it rather odd that Suicide's contract was filed and approved weeks ago by company records. Were you aware of this, sir?"

"More of that woman's meddling, I suppose. It's no matter. From here on out, things will be done MY way without any of that overly-inflated eye sore's trying to ruin my fun. The GZWA Nation and even the locker room thought it was funny that CM Punk humiliated me and my Enforcers out there. Let's see who's laughing after I start reinforcing my authority around here.
