ReAction -- Primetime 4-4-16

[Xion Zeros]

ReAction's Topics:

• The Bradleys reunited tonight after Mike Bradley dumped Tyler Breeze to the curb and welcomed back his sister Danielle to the GZWA Nation. Victory slipped through the Bradleys' fingers as the team of SM Raye and Stefan Konrad Raab picked up the win after pinning the team of Ryan Kendrick and Sting. What are the thoughts of the tag teams already established for the Stardom Tag Team Classic after this match?
• Alicia Fox and Nikki Bella announced the entry of Team Bella for the Stardom Tag Team Classic. Are things about to get foxy and fearless in GZWA?
• The team of Maryse Ouellet and Alex McFly defeated the team of Ashley Wonder and Ashleigh Cash in tonight's Stardom Tag Team Classic preview match, whereas Maryse shocked the GZWA Nation of her genuine intentions to act as a team player with the Fire-Bred Babe. What is going through the minds of these women after this match?
• After a back and forth contest, Blake Harper defeated Didgitz in singles competition. While Blake Harper has confirmed her entry into the Stardom Tag Team Classic with CM Punk as her partner, will we see Didgitz participating in the tournament?
• Tonight's First Blood Match between Lilith Danielson and Joanna Tarzanna ended after the Shooting Star broke a beer bottle over the head of the Jungle Girl, but that didn't stop these two Vixens from wanting to continue to wage war until security kept them separated. It's obvious that there's bad blood between these women but when and where will we see them go head to head again?
• After Veda Scott made some rather "colorful" comments prior to tonight's main event concerning those who oppose the Machine, Team Champions (Ry Drake, GZWA Television Daniel Widdel, GZWA Vixen Champion Delta Madision, and GZWA Tag Team Champions Laura Jackson & Casey Cortez) defeated Team Machine (GZWA World Heavyweight Champion Carnage, Victor Phillips, Beth Phoenix, and the Enforcers) in a landslide fashion in a classic Survivor Series style 5-on-5 elimination tag team match. Will these five rebellious competitors continue to align forces against the Machine or will they go in their own separate ways as the Stardom Tag Team Classic is going to be the focus of GZWA programming in the coming weeks?

At Primetime Casey and her team could take the win and even though they have had their difficulties, they could show that the champions are the dominant team in this match. So the tall blond is really satisfied and in a good mood. Now the match is over, Casey has taken a shower, and now she's on her way to the parking lot, to drive back home, as she gets stopped by a camera team. She's no fan of endless speeches or interviews, so she makes them a sign to shut up, but she starts to talk.

“Ok, I know what comes next. Maybe you should just interview one of the persons who like this endless talking. Prolly it won't be too hard to find one.”

Foe a moment it looks like she would walk away, without saying anything, but then she continues.

"But one thing I will tell you. I won't team up with these wannabe champions again. Yes, you understood me right. I don't respect them and, to be honest, I don't like them. Ok, this week we worked together, but it was only to stop these idiots, called The Machine. Our team work was pretty good and I'm glad that we could show these people what they are, some sore losers and nothing more.
But now it's enough of this childish crap, all the feuds and this idiotic stuff. I have better things to do than to play with all these idiots. Yes …we are champions and we don't play with children.”

For a moment she pauses and takes a deep breath before she continues.

“And now I'll tell you what we will do now. As you prolly know, Laura and me, we are the champs for more that one year now and we will do everything that this won't change. Now they have this tag team tournament and we will be a part of it and we will make sure that we will be the winning team at the end. The MisFits are the most dominant stable in this company and there's nothing and nobody who will be able to stop us. We destroyed every team that came into our way during the last year and this year we will continue with what we can do best, with kicking asses.”

She winks at the camera team, but before any of them can her ask her anything, she turns around and walks off.

["The Iceman" Konrad Raab]

Because the newly named Konrad Raab had to leave straight after his match last night, the GZWA camera crew caught him being in Los Angeles the day after Primetime show to talk about his plans for the future of GZWA and what he has in mind as he begins to speak on camera as he stands outside of the Hollywood walk of fame.

Konrad Raab: "I apologise for leaving straight after my match yesterday as I got a match here tomorrow night in another promotion I wrestle in. I've been very quiet lately around here when it comes to having camera time and I know I should talk about the match I had with SM Raye this week, but this is not the case since me and him know we are most likely the most experienced team out of the lot in this Stardom Tag Team Classic and I'm always looking forward to new challenges which is exactly what I'm going speak about and even the explanation of why I've changed my name to Konrad Raab."

Konrad took a bit of a breather for a bit as he looks around to see a few fans in the company he's wrestling in tomorrow waiting for his autograph, but he continues to speak.

Konrad Raab: "The reason why I've changed my name to Konrad Raab and what I spoke about new challenges is because I've put my name down to represent Ground Zero Wrestling Association along with the other ones I'm apart of in the upcoming wrestling competition called Manifest Destiny where I'd be going up against 63 other wrestlers from different wrestling companies around the world. It's a great chance for me to promote GZWA to the level that it needs. I think if I can do well in the tournament all through May, it will hopefully give GZWA the attention it needs."

Even the wrestling fans that are standing to wait for Konrad's autograph cheered on the announcement and he continues to speak again.

Konrad Raab: "Plus I'm known as Konrad Raab in one of the other companies as well so I thought might as well stick with Konrad all throughout my career from now on. I can't wait to wrestle for the company and to make sure GZWA gets the attention it needs and people knowing who I am and what I did best to represent this great company in front of the entire world. I have a lot of work to do today so I need to go and I will see every GZWA wrestler in the ring very soon."

The GZWA camera crew left Konrad as he spent sometime signing autographs to the fans of another company he's wrestling in tomorrow and posed for pictures before he does some skateboarding to promote a match he's wrestling in for another company tomorrow night.

[❤Rose❤]

“Well, to be honest, I didn't take much care about what happened at GZWA since my loss against Serai. I had my daughter Kiara back and that was all I was caring about. So the next weeks I spent with a long family vacation, but now I’m back and it's time to come back to business.”

Like usually, Amanda is still at home and has finished her breakfast with her family. Her kids are now on their way to visit some friends, Rose is at her flower shop and Amanda is alone at home. She looks at the chaos on the table and sighs, but then she laughs.

“Oh shit, what a mess. But I really love it and I've missed all that chaos in the past.”

Now she begins to clean the dishes.

"They can really keep me busy. Haha, I don't even have the time to go to the gym.”

About one hour later Amanda is ready with cleaning up and now it's time to relax a bit. Ok, now she could do some training, but like usually, she is too lazy. So she sits down on a deck chair, lights a cigarette, and just enjoys the nice and warm weather.

“But I think it's time to end this lazy life now. I want a come back at GZWA and I will get one. They overlooked me for such a long time, I've always been the underdog there and I never really had success there, but now it's time to change this. I'm sick of getting overlooked. Damn, it's so fucking long ago that I had a title match and I'm not even close to getting a title. Damn, that really sucks.”

Now it seems that her good mood is gone and Amanda growls, but then she just shrugs.

“But anyway, now comes this tag team tournament and there I will see how everything develops. I had planned to take Rose as my partner, but now I'll take Tyler and Rose will be our manager. I think as a mixed tag team our chances of having success are much bigger. Yes, we will win this tournament and then we will go for tag gold or maybe I even get booked in a normal title match. Well, we will have to see how it develops.”

Now Amanda leans back and wants to relax a bit, but her cell phone rings. She answers the phone call and her jaw drops down. The car of her kids doesn't work anymore and now they ask her to pick them up. Amanda sighs, but then she stands up and walks to her old truck and the scene fades to black.

[❤Knightmare INC]

Nikki,Alicia



Interrupted Team Bella's conversation backstage after the show.Noticing this time they were without Brie Bella.So,you'd assume things be back to normal?

Where's Brie? The camera crew asked curious but what Nikki didn't see was Alicia rolling her eyes.

She is on her way home.Nikki said hopefully for good this time.What made your sister come towards the ring in the first place? Nicole sighs wishing she could answer that question but she couldn't.

H-but Alicia was going to cut her train of thought to speak for her.Nikki,I got this.I really understand where Brie is coming from I do.But she needs to let go of the past.Its time now for others to help out her sister now.

You know Brie thinks Alicia is trying to hurt you Nicole.The reaction crew pointed out.Both team Bella let out a scoff.Are you serious? Alicia said trying to get Nikki on her good side.I know how my sister can be at times.Nikki starts to say,finding this statement ridiculous.But Alicia and I have known each other for years.She could never hurt me or Brie.

And why would I even want to when you guys welcomed me into your group with opened arms? Foxy replied sharing a hug.Nicole released the hold looking back in the camera.Brie is just a overacting protective momma and can't let go at some things.

So,when you two are apart of the stardom tag team tournament.Brie won't be coming down to help you?

They both look at each other hoping to say she won't,but...they can't.

Honestly,I don't know if she will or not.I unlike my sister don't know where her mind is set right now.What I do know...is yes Foxy and I have entered the tournament.

This would be your second time correct?

Nikki nods her head agreeing.It would be,but I have to pull out due to my partner bailing on me last minute.But this time I have Foxy...who smiles nodding her head continuing her train of thoughts

I don't know how far Nicole and I will go.I've never been in a gauntlet that featured male competitors in the mix.So to me this is a new experience.But I am willing to try new things.Who knows...it might be a fun journey together.As long as we don't loose...referring to her temper tantrum.Nikki giggles with it fading as Team Bella walks away hoping to be one step closer in the tournament round

[Xion Zeros]

Veda Scott nervously enters the office of the GZWA Chairman immediately following her ejection during tonight's main event.

"Mr. Zeros... I know it looks bad, but I can explain..."

Xion holds up a single finger to silence Veda while he drinks his glass of scotch and watches the members of Team Champions manage to topple and defeat the Hardcore Monster.

Brooklyn shook her head, "That didn't seem to go according to plan..."



Veda Scott turned to the Chairman, "I didn't account for Reby Sky 2.0 to get so physical out there tonight. I wasn't prepared for that outcome. As for the rest of these shortcomings, it was a matter of favoritism from the referee out there. It wasn't our fault that the official was biased..."

Xion cuts her off, "I've heard enough..."

Veda continues, "But Mr. Zeros, I can explain!!"

"No need for your excuses, Veda. I have no problem with this result."

Even Brooklyn Glamorous looks surprised as Veda Scott's eyes widen with shock.

Xion stands up from his desk and walks around in front of it to stand before Veda Scott face-to-face.

"Why should I be mad? You did as you were told. You riled up the sheep and turned them loose like rabid dog against the Machine. It's not your fault that there were some complications in that match. To be quite honest, I was beginning to become bored with this game."

Veda Scott looks confused, "Game?"

Brooklyn chimes in, "Xion and I have played chess at every event since getting back together and not once I have bested him, despite coming close on several occasions. Recently, he has grown bored with the game since he wins all the time, so I understand what he is getting at."

Xion continues, "It's not that you're not a worthy adversary, it's that I enjoy the thrill of the hunt... It bores me to always win. In this situation, I'm glad that the sheep finally bit the hand that feeds them. Otherwise, this dynasty that we are building will be weak without crushing any and all obstacles in our way. If we can't find any, then we shall set handicaps to provide suitable sport."

Veda's mouth merely hangs open, "I don't understand, Mr. Zeros... You WANT us to lose?"

Xion shook his head, "You're thinking too small, Veda. Whether you all win or lose are no consequence to me, what matters to me is that you are challenged. Only then the Machine will continue to evolve and operate more efficiently for a better future for GZWA."

Brooklyn adds, "In other words, it's sink or swim time. Rocky Romero and his girlfriend who should be working at Lee Nails instead of wrestling couldn't cut it, so I'm sure the rest of our organization would not want to suffer the same fate.

The first challenge should be everyone having their eyes on the prize of my Stardom Tag Team Classic. We would love to see the finals of that tournament with nothing but the members of the Machine vying for the prize of my tournament.

Who knows, I might lace up the boots and enter Mary's Reina de Reinas Dos tournament..."

Veda Scott pushes her glasses up from the end of her nose smiling, "Yes, someone has to end that excessive boasting from Delta Madison from winning last year's tournament. Kurt Angle, she is not - not like she won the thing with a broken neck."

Xion smirks, "There, there, ladies. No need to be getting ahead of yourselves. Let's focus on the present. Rise to Stardom now, then we shall truly be celestial beings after the Machine lays waste to the opposition."

Brooklyn smiles, "Sounds good to me."

[Deleted]

Backstage we see the "Shooting Star' Lilith Dainelson after her first blood victory against Joanna. She spoke



"Is it over? I don't know, if she wants more. I'll glad lay her out in any stipulation, but after her bloody face today I think she would be wise to stay away. I am tired of spending all my time in the jungle anyway. I should be moving onto bigger things, I should be allowed to shine like the shooting star I am. GZWA needs darkness, the light must be put out. The only small hope of light will be my star shining. Plus honestly GZWA you have me as Joanna's travel partner. "Hey remember that time I busted you open" isn't the best conversation starter in the car, nor is hearing her work on her Tarzan roar while I'm trying to drive. That is why I want to send out this question s anyone in GZWA as fucked up as I am? Does anyone hear have a thirst for blood, because if so hit me up. We could run this bitch, pretty easily. I've only seen one person who can come close and let's just say I don't even know if he is as dark as me. So until I have more blood to spill, I'll see you next time GZWA."

[DELT∆]

The GZWA Reaction crew caught up with the Vixen and Queen of Queen’s Champion shortly after that controversial 10 person Survivor Series style match at Primetime. Delta had a light purple floor length coat with her hair in a messy bun. She had her Vixen’s Championship on her shoulder and her Queen of Queen’s title belt placed nearby at camera view.

Delta greeted the camera with a smile. “I may have won this battle but the war is only getting started.”

“You see, Beth thought she was a strong contender to my Vixen’s Championship but from that showing I don’t quite believe her. She attempts to be all brawn but she can’t back it up, she doesn’t impress me at all.”

Delta sighed, rising up her free hand and studying her fresh manicured fingers briefly.

“She’s simply leeching off The Machine to make herself somewhat relevant and she’s not doing a good job at it. She’s wasting my valuable time, she’s wasting the fans time and she’s wasting the opportunity of other women in GZWA. Sorry Beth, you need to try harder to get on MY level. If you really want a shot at my Vixen’s Championship you need to step it up because you’re a joke.

Delta gave a defiant frown, expressing her lack of concern about Beth. Delta’s face lightened up, now moving on to a different subject.

“You know what I’m happy to hear, the ladies are starting to throw their name in for the upcoming Reina de Reinas Tournament. Brooklyn and Maryse are the top contenders to ‘decrown’ me and all I can respond with is bring it on. I’ve had such a great run as your resident Queen and I’m extremely happy to see someone else step up. I want to see the new crop of girls claw it out and make a name for themselves. But it doesn’t mean I won’t go down without a fight, I’ll gladly remain your Queen for another year. And personally, I don’t want that to happen - I want that FIGHT. I want to take that challenge and I want that decisive loss. I’ve gone through hell of a lot to earn these accomplishments. I had my detractors from day one and that didn’t stop me, I kept on fighting, I kept on clawing to get to the position I am now. If you think I’m just another blonde with big boobs then you’re sadly mistaken. You can hide behind stereotypes to discredit me but it certainly won’t change anything. No one can claim this accomplishment, since I’m the first and only person to do so. Will someone else do this feat in the future? Maybe, probably, I can’t predict the future. I raise the challenge, come on ladies, step it up…. Knock me off my pedestal.”

Delta grinned into the camera, reaching out towards her Queen of Queen’s belt and resting it on her forearm. The camera then panned closer to leaving the image of the belt before the scene ended.

[Victor Phillips]

OOC: Sorry for this super late promo and honestly I wasn't even sure if this is where I should put it but I figured this was more of a "ReAction" to Primetime than anything going on with the upcoming Livewire. Still trying to whip myself back into shape with this whole thing so bare with me everyone.

The scene begins in the parking lot of the Wells Fargo Center which was the host of the most recent addition of GZWA Primetime. The quiet scene is disrupted by a familiar interviewer and cameraman who appear to be looking for someone. They survey the parking garage before motioning off camera to someone.

|-Interviewer-|

Hey there he is...

They sprint in the direction of this "mystery" man before he gets into his car.

|-Interviewer-|

Excuse me, do you mind if we get a word? It seems tonight was big for you and things didn't go as planned.

The man turns around to reveal himself to be The Statement Victor Phillips who just shakes his head when he sees the familiar face of the interviewer

|-Victor Phillips-|

You again kid? Didn't we go through this a few weeks ago?

The interviewer takes a pause, clearly nervous about the situation before continuing

|-Interviewer-|

Well I just thought that maybe we just got off on the wrong foot last time around and maybe we could..

Victor stops the interviewer in his tracks with his raised hand

|-Victor Phillips-|

Look it's not going to happen, so why don't you call it a night, hop on your bike and head home?

The defeated interviewer once again sulks away much like the last time he encountered V.I.P and his cameraman goes to follow him before Victor Phillips stops him (the cameraman) with a hand on the shoulder.

|-Victor Phillips-|

Whoa, whoa, whoa Kodak, I never said that you could go. Oh and hand me that mic.

Victor Phillips grabs the microphone before turning the front of the camera his way.

|-Victor Phillips-|

Alright you know the drill, make sure you get me when I say...My name is Victor Phillips and ladies and gentlemen I am your V.I.P.

Victor Phillips chuckles to himself before continuing

|-Victor Phillips-|

You know, I've been waiting all night for a camera to be pointed in my direction because I have quite a bit to talk about. But how about we start with current events because I hear that "The Resistance"...

Victor feigns laughter before continuing

|-Victor Phillips-|

I hear "The Resistance" picked up a dominating win over the big, bad Machine tonight. I say I hear because clearly I wasn't involved in whatever match those chumps dominated because all I remember is Ry Drake having to resort to fooling that hack of a ref that I knocked him out with a chair to get me disqualified from the match. Kudos man, you really showed me.

Victor Phillips sarcastically applauds Drake's efforts

|-Victor Phillips-|

I'm sure you think that after that I'm ready to back down or something on calling you and Widdel out? Sorry to say that I'm not that easily impressed.  I'm still coming for that GZWA Television Championship because I'm still the man that'll bring some respect to that title and you two are still just roadblocks on my way to getting it.

Victor pauses for a moment as he thinks back

|-Victor Phillips-|

But you know what, I hear that my comments about you guys being pushovers and cakewalks have rubbed a few people the wrong way.

|-Victor Phillips-|

Speaking of which, hey Ivory I caught your show, tell my man Sam we'll catch up soon. But Lisa, you wanted to know what happened to that guy that put a division on his back and made people tune in? He's standing right here. I called out Widdel but make no mistake about it, if Raab, Kendrick, Bradley or even my good buddy Ry Drake want to step in my way then they are welcomed to get knocked down. You say I have a new found cowardice but you've got me all wrong. See because one thing that I want to make clear, I'm not skipping the line, I'm pushing through it.

Victor once again pauses as he went off on a bit of a tirade and wants to get back on track

|-Victor Phillips-|

But back to the matter at hands. First off, Drake you've got my attention now. Maybe you're not a cakewalk but you're still not The Statement. So you can bring all your little tricks and you can threaten to pop me in the mouth as many times as you want but the fact remains that if it comes down to me versus you, then you might as well just call it a night.

Victor shrugs as he moves onto his next focus, Daniel Widdel

|-Victor Phillips-|

As for you young Danny, I want to make something clear, Victor Phillips doesn't have to follow in anyone's footsteps. You may have taken the Television Division and put it on your back but the reality is you've taken it as far as you can. Let me put it in terms that you can relate to kid, you're the kid who worked his hardest all year in school on a project to get the C- grade and everyone is proud of you for that because that's the best you can do. But I'm the guy that takes the same project as you and turns it into an A+ with ease.

Victor chuckles before continuing

|-Victor Phillips-|

You see the Television Division is my project and I am going to take it further than you ever could because I'm just that good. You can fight it as much as you want but you are looking at the next GZWA Television Championship because that's what's best for the future of GZWA.

Victor's eyes focus onto the camera with an intensity that only he can display

|-Victor Phillips-|

So rage against the Machine if you like, resist if you must, but eventually you'll come to grips with the fact that the future belongs to the Machine.

[❤Rose❤]

Since her huge loss against Serai Amanda didn't had a match at GZWA, but she got her stepdaughter Kiara back and now her chaotic little family is complete again and so she is more than happy with her life. Most of the time she has spent with them, being lazy and just having fun at the beach, where she lives. Now it was Mother's Day and also her sister Mariah and her mom visited her.
Like usually Amanda is a bit chaotic, but they all were happy to be together and so it has been a wonderful weekend. But now Mariah and her mom are back home at NY, Jacobi and Kiara are in high school again, at least Amanda hopes so, and she is alone with her wife Rose again. The next day she spends with cleaning up and after she's done, she sits down and takes a deep breath.

“Damn, so much work …we really need someone to help us with all this …”

As Rose hears this she laughs out and slaps Amanda playfully on her ass.

“You shouldn't be so lazy. Besides your modeling stuff you have nothing to do, so this little house work really can't be too much for you.”

But Amanda sees this in a different way and shakes her head.

“Not true, this is hard work and it keeps me busy all day. You think that it's done with some photo shootings, but that's not true, it's so much more work. I have to look good and so I need a lot of time. Getting a make up, getting manicures and pedicures, trying on new clothes, buying new shoes, ….”

Hearing this, Rose roles her eyes.

“It's really unbelievable that you are busy with such stuff. It's nothing more than hanging around and being lazy.”

Now Amanda pouts. She puts her hands on her hips and glares at Rose.

“So you think that I'm lazy? That's mean and that's not true. And don't forget that I cleaned up the whole house while you were relaxing with all your flowers in your flower shop.”

The petite young woman sighs and rubs her back.

“And now my back hurts. I really could need a massage …”

Now Rose smiles. Amanda is lazy and can be a pain in the ass, but she still is cute and Rose loves her.

“Ok, so lay down, my little hard worker.”

Mandy giggles and lays down on the massage table they have. She closes her eyes and smiles happily.

“Oh, and my feet hurt too after running around all day.”

Now Rose winks.

“Don't worry, I'll take care for all your hurting body parts, my poor baby.”

She takes some massage oil and pours it over Amanda’s back. Then she rubs her back and massages it gently, so that Amanda moans and purrs.

“But we still should talk about how it goes on.”

Amanda turns her head a bit and raises an eyebrow.

“Whatcha mean?”

While Rose continues her massage, she begins to explain wha she means.

“Well, you still are a wrestler and you didn't had a match for months. I think this should change.”

“Why that? I'm happy with my life.”

Now Rose playfully slaps Amanda’s ass.

“I know, but you would be more happy is you would fight again.”

Amanda shakes her head and protests.

“No, I don't need this stress week after week. I had this in the past and it was annoying.”

But Rose ignores Amanda's comment. She still rubs Amanda's back and now she traces all her tattoos gently with her finger tips so that Amanda begins to squirm and giggle.

“Hey, that's mean. You know that I give up and do everything you want when you do this with me.”

“I know.”

Rose only smiles and continues with what she does. In the meantime Amanda has goosebumps everywhere and is in heaven. She still giggles and squirms, but then she turns her head and smiles at Rose.

“We can talk about it, but only if you don't stop this here. Hehe, I want a nice long massage and this all day. Then I'll do everything you want.”

"Don't worry, I won't stop. At least not till the kids come back home. But seriously, look at what is going on at GZWA. It's really a shame. Your stupid sister still is tag champion, and wit the other titles it isn't much better. All these idiots don't deserve it to be called champions. You should really come back and show them what wrestling is.”

Now Rose massages Amanda's ass and her legs and the pretty young woman moans.

“That's true, they aren't real champions, they are only laughable. But why should I be the one who kicks their asses? I'm in this business for almost ten years now and sometimes I feel so old. I think the younger ones should do it.”

“Because you can do it. And you aren't too old. Just step out there and show them what you can do. Make your family proud and make the fans proud for standing behind you for such a long time.”

Rose still rubs Amanda’s legs and now she reaches her feet and massages them. Mandy wanted to answer, but now she only moans and Rose smiles.

“So I see your reaction as a yes.”

Amanda has her eyes closed and relaxes completely.

“Shit, Shit, shit …Yes. But only if you don't stop this.”

And now Rose laughs a bit.

“It's so easy to convince you and to show you what is the best for you.”

Amanda makes cute noises now and it's a mixture between moaning and giggling.

“There you are right. Make me happy and I'll do everything you want. But it's true, it becomes time to show them what real wrestling is. Maybe a good start will be this tournament. Tyler is pretty young, but I think he is good in the ring and he could be a good partner. And then I still have you as my manager. So I think our chances to win the tournament are pretty good. And then we will see how it develops, maybe tag gold or maybe even a singles title, even though I really don't wanna fight against the guys again.”

“But you already did that. You faced Carnage and many others, so you can do it again.”

Amanda wants to protest, but Rose spiders her fingertips over her foot bottoms and now Mandy giggles louder. She curls and wiggles her cute toes.

“And you will do it. You are better than your sisters and all these others. And we are a great team. I'll be in your corner and you'll get all the support you need.”

Still giggling and squirming Amanda enjoys what Rose does with her, but now she manages it to speak.

“Ok, ok, I think I have no choice when you torture me. Hehe, but don't stop it.”

And Rose doesn't stop. Amanda is so cute when she giggles and moans and Rose loves it to touch her soft and sensitive skin.

“I don't stop my cute little champion.”

A smile comes into Amanda's face.

“Hehe, but it's a long way till I'll hold gold again.”

“Doesn't matter, you can do it and you will do it.”

Before Amanda can reply again, Rose runs her fingers under and in between her toes and now she really laughs and struggles, but Rose traps her ankles. So Amanda can't do anything and is helpless, but she loves this feeling. She wiggles her feet, clenches her small fists and laughs her pretty head off.

“Hehe, yes, you won ..I do everything you want.”

Slowly Amanda is really turned on and she already thinks of continuing the fun in the bed room, but then the door opens. Rose stops to tease and tickle Amanda and they both look up. They have completely forgotten the time and it's already afternoon, so Jacoby and Kiara came back home from high school. As they see what goes on, they only laugh. Jacoby only winks at Rose.

“Oh, is it time again to torture my mom?”

And Rose shrugs.

“Well, I wouldn't call it torture. I just had to convince her to return back to the ring and I think I had success.”

Now Kiara claps her hands.

“Yay, that's really great. I'd love to see her as the champion again. We are so proud.”

As she sees that her whole family wants her return to the ring, Amanda has no choice anymore.

"Ok, ok, I got it. I'll do it.”

Now she tries to look at her kids in a serious way.

“But don't you guys have homework to do?”

Kiara looks at Jacobi and than back at Amanda.

“Nope, already done. We can stay here with you now.”

She knows exactly that Amanda wants some time alone with Rose, but it's fun to bother her a bit.

“And I can make us a coffee.”

Now Amanda roles her eyes.

“Damn, no coffee. If you have no homework, then you can do some work in the garden.”

And now Jacobi laughs.

“This we did already in the morning, before school.”

Amanda sighs. Sometimes kids can be annoying and she doesn't know what to do. But then Jacobi and Kiara laugh.

“But don't worry, we will meet some friends is a bit, so you two can continue where you have stopped.”

Now they turn around and leave Mandy and Rose alone and the scene fades to black.

The scene begins with Rocky and Mei in a red locker room, preparing to leave the arena. Mei Long is already in casual attire: plain red blouse, black pants, and a messy high bun. With his back turned from the camera, Rocky Romero is seen near an opened locker with only fitted blue jeans.

Silence fills the room, until Mei gains a curious question to ask Rocky.

"Hey, Rocky."

Rocky turns to Mei

"How do you feel?"

"Uh….

Rocky shrugs.

"Bien."

Mei seems relieved at his surprisingly honorable response to their loss, but before she can celebrate it, she hears a stampede approaching the door, rising in volume. Mei softly pushes out a deep breath.

"Here they come."

Rocky rushes into a dark gray t-shirt before showing a look of disgust and standing next to Mei. After Mei realizes this, she looks up to him.

"You ready, Rocky?"

Rocky shrugs once again.

"I guess….."

Someone knocks on their door. Mei, always being the most tolerable one, heads to the door to the answer it. A camera and flashing light shining to her face, while an unknown shadow appears to them.

"Excuse me, Mei Long and Rocky Romero. You wouldn't mind us asking you a few questions."

"I don't mind.", Mei responds with patience.

"So this has been the first Primetime match since you all's return, but also your first Primetime loss. You have any thoughts about what transpired out there?"

"This loss, while insignificant to our status in GZWA, is still very telling to how we will vanquish in the tournament. How this may prove to be a challenge to us. I can admit that I overestimated myself out there, but I can understand why. Myself against the likes of Sting, Raab, Kendrick, and Raye? The moment I knew Sting countered my Dragon's Kiss was when I made the realization that we are going to need much more than we bargained for."

"What about the Bradleys?"

"The Bradleys? For one, I'm glad that Danielle has returned in full form. Second, the audience can believe that Danielle seems customary for me, but even she ventures the same path as I do. Even if she says that she doesn't partake in being involved with a division consisting of entirely women, she still makes sure that if anyone steps into that ring, she will give it her all, and that is exactly what she did tonight. This will prove to be interesting, nonetheless, because of Mike taking out the weakest link in favor of someone who shares similar chemistry as him, and not similar personalities and conflict. It shows that they have dramatically progressed since they left as well."

"But….before we discuss anything else….."

Mei looks at Rocky with a smile on her face. The eye-to-eye signal for "handing the mic", which Rocky notices and is quick to receive. Rocky looks back to the interviewers with the same expression.

"…..we're taking a trip to Italy and leaving tomorrow morning, so if there is anything else you gotta say, hold that thought till we come back, soooo……hasta luego!"

Rocky gives the segment to a close….by a slamming door, while the Reaction crew stands there, confused.
