“IN THE TWENTIES” hits out of the speakers in the arena and Kassidy Hayes saunters out onto the stage with a grin on his face and microphone in hand.
He spreads his arms out to soak in the adulation of the Kasstians in the crowd before looking down at the stage beneath his feet and admiring the Kasifix below his feet.
Kassidy paces back and forth on the horizontal axis of the kasifix before stopping dead center and taking a seat, the music fades out before Kassidy begins to speak.
Kassidy: Francis, get out here.
The music begins to play again for a moment but Kassidy motions to cut the music off and Francis walks out from the back. Kassidy tosses back the microphone to Francis and Francis clears his throat.
Francis: Ghouls and Ghoulettes, your Lord and Savior, Kassidy Hayes.
A mixture of cheers and boos can be heard through the crowd.
Francis: There has been chatter, rumors, and claims about false proceedings of Kasstianity’s future and tonight we set them straight.
Francis: First-most is that Kasstianity will never die. Thee resistances to Kasstianity is merely a futile attempt to stop the inevitable growth that Kasstianity will continue to have.
Francis: Quartz can go locker room to locker room and ask people to take up arms against us, that we are not to be trusted, that Kassidy is a bad person but that is coming from a man who on a flip of a hat can change his alignment with a different color stripe in his hair.
Francis: Kassidy has been, is, and will always be a Man of his word. He has proven time and time again that his word is that of gospel, so when I tell you that Kassidy isn’t going to stop till either Quartz takes his place next to him or Kassidy takes what Quartz holds dear, then You should believe it.
Francis: Chris Greene put his faith in Kassidy, he joined this family and now instead of being stuck beside that imbecile Joe Deaver, Chris has been a major highlight amongst Kasstianity.
Kassidy makes a heart with hands and mouths “I love you Chey Chey”,
Francis: As for Rust Cohle’s claims, Kassidy had nothing to do with Mujera joining Kasstianity, Alexa brought Furiosa and Mujera together for their trio and they achieved exactly what they set out to.
Francis:
They made sure the Women’s Championship was removed from one Flojo and unlike the power struggle and selfish greed of CQC, The women of Kasstianity are proud of the success of each other, not themselves.
Francis: Mujera and Alexa are going to come out and show just how well they work together, and pick up another Victory as a team tonight when they come out here next to show Van Park that facing two competent women is a lot harder than jumping one Ashley Moore.
Francis: Mujera has a new family Rust, and we were there for her at her lowest and raised her back up, Where were you?
Kassidy can be seen mouthing “She's my little sister now Rusty”, before chuckling. Kassidy stands up and takes the microphone from Francis.
Kassidy: MAXX EDWARDS! Hear me now, I’m not done with you either. You won the match at Red Sun yet something came over you at the end and you gave in to the darkness of your heart, you busted me open and I can only hope you enjoyed the taste of my blood for now I am in you and you are in me, to remain forever.
Kassidy: I haven’t even truly gotten started because Chris and KD are just the start; Scotty X, Hanzo, C Note, and Sheldon Tremblay, you are the heirs of my gaze without guiding lights.
Kassidy: Let me guide you.
A spotlight hits Kassidy as he spreads his arms out wide, dropping the microphone down into Francis’ waiting hands. Kassidy and Francis leave the stage with the spotlight following them until they have gone behind the curtain.
Backstage, Jasmin Kaffee is waiting outside the women’s locker room. From the way her hand is resting against it, she’s been knocking for a minute now.
Jasmin: Debbie, I know you’re in there, come on now. You wanted to talk, so let’s talk.
The door swings open, nearly cleaning Jasmin’s clock as a still irate Gramazon steps into view, glaring down at the former MMA fighter with a withering gaze.
Debbie: Absolutely amazing that I can’t hear from you for weeks when you’re the flavor of the month for some manchild boys club, but the second you want to talk to me, I gotta deal with you literally beating down the door.
Debbie: After that garbage you and your little boyfriend pulled last week to get back at me, you better just be glad I haven’t Valmont on you yet.
Jas waves her hands, trying to calm Debbie down and explain, but the Gramazon refuses to relent.
Debbie: Yeah girl, I know all about your little plan to get back at me. You ain’t about to come up here and gaslight me neither.
Debbie: Here I thought you were who you said you were, just a lonely, misunderstood rookie trying to find a place.
Debbie: You ain’t nothing but a snake and you neve-
Finally, Jasmin shouts Debbie’s name loudly to cut her off, trying to speak her piece.
Jasmin: Debbie, if we’re going to talk, then you need to let me TALK
The sudden outburst of anger clearly makes Jasmin uncomfortable, and she pauses a bit before continuing.
Jasmin: I know what it looks like. What it sounds like. That’s why I actually came to talk to you, this time. I'm sorry that it's taken this long. I was in a bad place, and that doesn't excuse anything, but it's the truth.
Jasmin: Since Wrestlelution I haven’t felt like I could trust anybody. I got thrown to the curb by every person I ever trusted, and now that I’ve finally found a place, I guess CG’s just… jealous? Bitter? I don’t know what’s going on. I wish I did.
Jasmin: I wish there was something I could say to ease your mind, but clearly, you’ve made yours up. But Debbie, if I wanted to get back at you, if I wanted to hurt you? I could have done it a long time ago.
Jasmin sighs, standing up to the other woman with a stern look on her face. She still has to look up a bit to look Debbie in the eye, but she’s clearly grown some backbone.
Jasmin: But I’m not Flojo. I’m not Marisa. I’m not any of these other girls that’ll take shortcuts or jump you from behind or try and get inside your head. I’d like to think you ain’t either.
Jasmin: So if you think I’m this terrible person who’s only out to get you? Fine. Let’s get at it one more time. Just you and me. You name the stipulation, you name the time, I’ll show up.
Debbie scoffs at the idea and shakes her head.
Debbie: I cannot believe you think I’m that dumb, right now. Unreal.
Debbie slams the door in Jasmin’s face, who is taken aback by the reaction. She stands facing the door, a heartbroken look on her face as we fade back to ringside.
TAG TEAM TURMOIL
VAN PARK vs. KASSTINAITY
The following segment was previously recorded.
We find ourselves in the streets of New York, it’s the day after Halloween and a young Jordan Trance can be sighted walking around. He pauses in front of a costume shop.
Jordan: 80% sale? Don’t mind if I do!
Jordan peers in the door, his eyes lighting up with delight.
Jordan: That’ll do perfectly!
Jordan rushes into the store, the bell on the door losing its marbles at the force he charged in. When he emerges he’s clutching a bag, grinning from ear to ear.
Jordan: Just wait until the Judge gets a look at this! It’s sure to remind him of the good times we had.
