The bell sounds after a competitive match and the music begins to play, Aerith sits up from the pinfall, a look of disbelief on her face, almost like she doesn't know what just happened.

The camera pans around, showing the welts and lacerations on her back from Flojo’s vicious chair shots earlier on.

A smile begins to spread across the debutants face as she realises she's won, the referee approaches to check on her and she leaps to her feet, trapping him with a hug as she begins to celebrate.

Her hand is raised in victory and she covers her mouth, pinching herself still not quite believing it. She paces ever so slightly, not sure what to do as with the heel of her hand she wipes tears from the corner of her eyes.

Slowly, Flojo picks herself up from the ropes, rubbing her jaw as the referee too checks on her, plucking errant table splinters form the woman.

Aerith continues celebrating, oblivious until she turns around, stopped in her tracks by the loser.

Flojo looks at Aerith with pain on her face and begins to ask for a Mic.

Flojo: Hey man, nice shot.

Flojo begins to gingerly pace around the ring as if she has something else on her mind.

Flojo: You know, we may not know each other but I think I need to get this monkey off my back.

Flojo continues after wiping blood off her nose

Flojo: I've been in a dark place for the last couple of weeks.

Flojo shakes her head, looking at the canvas for a moment.

Flojo: Ever since I got here, I let a certain elite group of people gas me up thinking that people legitimately liked me.

Flojo: I have been losing matches and losing friends. Bates said he wanted to step outside my shadow or whatever.

Flojo: Even though he's very generic. Cassidy was let go because she wasn't needed.

Flojo pauses.

Flojo: My in ring skills left a lot to be desired. In fact, people didn't have much to say about my matches...knowing this, I still wanted validation.

Flojo: I got crushed by ShowBlitz and suddenly I wondered if I should stick around. It's amazing that this in spite of all that, I'm on Turmoil’s promotional materials.

Flojo: Thankfully this match gave a new perspective….Yeah, it's like that poem “do not go gently into that good night…

Aerith, whispering to herself: Rage against the dying light… My husband used to say that a lot.

She continues to let Flojo speak.

Flojo: The road to wrestlelution is paved in gold for some people, however, mine will be paved in blood. I am going to let my light shine bright around the OCW universe.

Flojo begins to point at Aerith.

Flojo: Let those scars…remind you all of what I'm capable of.

Aerith nods solemnly, extending a hand towards Flojo as a token of respect, the pair shake in the middle of the ring as we go back to the announcers.

Vincent Valmont can be seen in his street clothes walking backstage to get ready for his big rivalry match tonight. Just outside of the camera frame we hear a voice of a woman.

Gene: Is that really Vincent Valmont? I didn't think you existed until seeing you with my own eyes. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Gene, and I'm the girlfriend of Capo. I'm filling in for this tonight’s episode of Speak Easy! It’s been quite busy tonight for tonight's big show. Do you mind if I catch a few answers for a few of my questions for you?

Valmont: Sure why not. I like questions.

Gene: My research shows that you just returned to OCW and so is the returning Leonheart, Is it fate that you both meet again, maybe even for the last time given the history between the two of you?

Valmont: Well that's true I have a big match tonight against Leon tonight. Our history is pretty rich, and deserves recognition.

Valmont: On the other hand since he's returning he'll become another chapter in which to close in my career with a great victory in a great match against a returning legend.

Valmont: Fate or not it'll be nothing, but amazing in the end. No matter who wins this battle.

Gene: “You said close your career”, is this the end for Vincent Valmont? Or were you being figurative instead of literal?

Valmont:

Gene: I see.. Just like I also see that you shaved. Not a bad look. Now onto my next question. Do you think your ready to start going into the title hunt here on Turmoil?

Gende: Do you have anything left despite your last match in which you didn't fight like your normal self.

Valmont: A part of me wants to say yes. I'm ready to go, and challenge the very best that Turmoil, or OCW itself has to offer.

Valmont: I'm getting back into my form, and shaking off all the ring rust. One win doesn't define me, nor does one loss.

Valmont: At this stage of my career I have a lot left to offer, and it's only a matter of time before I reach my full limit inside that ring, and become hard to deny.

Gene: Spoken like a true competitor and as Capo likes to say “You can't deny greatness”.

Gene: So you're a former heavyweight champion. That can't be ignored, but it's time to start a fresh path. Maybe that will happen for you this evening.

Valmont: True indeed….

Gene: So that will lead me to my final question, and that's what is next for Valmont after tonight, and leading into Wrestlelution?

Valmont: That's a simple answer. I want to become who I used to be inside this ring. One day, one match at a time. Each outcome will be different, but in the end I will gain so much more. Everyday I’m training to be prepared for the right moment.

Valmont: As for this years Lution, I want to build momentum towards it so not only will I be on the card, but I am prepared to have a big match. No matter who, or why. I want the competition to push me, and I want management to take notice that the beast still sleeps inside of me.

Gene: Any chance you have seen Austin Lee??

Valmont: No, I have not….

Gene: Valmont, it's been a pleasure!! Bring it tonight!!!

Karissa makes her way towards the ropes and snatches a microphone from the stage hand. Beginning to vent her frustration immediately as she makes her way back to the center of the ring.

Karissa: Know what ? I am sick and tired of allowing other people to walk all over me. Having them tell me what I should do to make in this business. As they make me out to be a joke or just use me to keep track of one of the “more important” wrestlers in the back.

Karissa pauses as she looks out towards the crowd.

Karissa: It is 2018 and I am demand I get treated with some Damn respect as a female competitor here on Turmoil. This is suppose to be the birth of the new era in Turmoil…. And what do they have me doing worrying about if someone has showed up or not….

Karissa frustration finally starting to disappear as she continues to vent.

Karissa: I deserve to be treated just as any other competitor in the back of that locker room and not told to be some joke who struggles to complete sentences and can’t walk more then 5 feet without falling over.

Karissa: I should be a role model for all of these women and little girls in the audience here tonight, show them it’s alright to embrace who you are…. But no I was told if I act like a klutz it would help my chance here in OCW.

Karissa: Oh maybe I should just become some cheap stripper with a gay boy toy…

Karissa: Could I shave my whole head, run a shit bar and stuff a sock down my trunks?

Karissa: Could just marry my way into OCW and then I would get all the shots or just claim I am someone’s sister from Ireland to get myself notice…

Karissa: What if I just become the girl next door or the blonde angel sent from the heavens to go missing….

Karissa: No..No…No…No!

Karissa: I am going to be just me Karissa Dawson, the best female in ring competitor here on Turmoil…

Karissa: love it, hate it, I do not care. I will not stand for this injustice anymore I am not going to let someone dictate what I do with my career anymore…

Karissa turns her attention to the ramp.

Karissa: If any of you have a problem with that then I suggest you bring yourself down to this ring and I will show you first hand what I am willing to do as I fight for equality….

Karissa: As I kick you in the head over and over again, and then lift you up and drive you precious skull straight to the match….

Karissa: I am the queen of Old School ladies and gentlemen, it's not just words on a shirt either.

Karissa: Fear the mistress of the Gotch Style piledriver….

Karissa throws the microphone outside of the ring, throwing her arms wide as she stands in the ring taunting the crowd….

	Oh my word!

Gene calls Cheryl Stixx on the phone and asks Cheryl where she and Riley are:

Gene: Hey, girlie!! Capo got me out here doing interviews for Speakeasy tonight at T200...There are some FINE GUYS BACK HERE!!

Cheryl: Gene you are so crazy!!! How are you? I don`t know about Riley, to be honest… But I`m here with Danny, he's doing my hair for tonight.

Gene: Tell him I need my edges done….Capo sweated me out last night...

Cheryl and Gene laugh…

Cheryl: I`m glad you called, Gene. I wanted to ask you a favor… So, you think you can meet me Riley after my match tonight? I might need the two of you, you probably heard about Valkyrie, she`s a prettier and actually talented Flojo.

Cheryl: I feel that I'm going to end her tonight, but if that doesn't happen we'll need a plan.

As Danny is still doing the hair for Stixx tonight in walks Riley Quinn. She walks up to Cheryl and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

Cheryl: Oh, Riley’s here Gene, I gotta go now, call you later girl! Bye-bye!

With that Stixx hangs up and turns her attention to Riley.

Quinn: It is utter bullshit. The biggest show in OCW history and they left me off of it.

Riley seems to be a little feisty tonight as she slams her hand on the table.

Quinn: All I have done is defeated everyone they have put in front of me. Hell they even had no more opponents for me and they made me face off against Gene of all people.

Quinn shakes her head in disgust.

Quinn: What did ShowBlitz already beat everyone on the roster. Do they really think Valkyrie is going to be their diamond in the rough. Do they think she is going to take us down by herself. If that isn’t laughable then next you are going to tell me Donald Trump is the President of the United States…

Riley pauses as she realizes that he is the President.

Quinn: Oh wait. Make America Great Again! I think it is time for ShowBlitz to raise the roof tonight and make an example out of Valkyrie. Let’s end this before we give her a glimmer of hope.

Scene closes….

As Gene is looking at her phone from being hung up on abruptly she sees Wrex passing by…

The following was pre-recorded earlier in the day at 9:52am.

The arena is empty apart from the cameramen people working against the clock and Stacy Clark who is sat in the ring. Someone is sat next to her but we can't make out who the person is as the camera is zoomed in on Stacy's beautiful face.

Stacy Clark: "Hello ladies and gentleman. We have a special treat for you as sitting next to me right now is OCW legend, the Penguin man himself... Leonheart."

The camera starts to pan out as we see Leon. Leon waves to the camera.

Stacy Clark: "Leon it has been nearly a year since we last saw you in OCW. At Riot 500, we saw you come out just moments after Drago won his match against Mugen.

Stacy Clark: Now from what we all saw, it looks like you and Drago are going to have a match at Wrestlution 12. What the world wants to know is are you back or are you just back to fight Drago?"

Leonheart: "Well Stacy, as you know it's Wreslution season and if you look at my attendance record. I have made ten Lution appearances. That's more than anyone in the history of OCW excluding the owner Jayson Sensation.

Leonheart: Now what you and everyone else around the world saw is correct. I am back and I am here to fight Drago Cesar on the biggest stage of them all... Wrestlution!"

Stacy Clark: "Then I am guessing the rumors are correct and after your match with Drago at Wrestlution. You will be gone?

Leonheart: "I'll be completely honest with you Stacy. OCW has always been my first love and I have been doing this for a hell of a long time. You know more than anyone here Stacy how I have spoke about retirement to only come back time and time again."

Stacy Clark: "That's true, you made a career out of it. I get the feeling that it's different now though so do you plan to retire for good after Wreslution?"

Leonheart: "I don't know if I am just old now Stacy but all the other times, I always had that motivation, a strong desire to be the absolute best here and time and time again.

Leonheart: I would back that up and give you everything I had in that ring every night. Every time I left and thought I was done, I would always get the itch to come back but you're right, this time it's different."

Leonheart: "A couple of years ago, I got a bit of bad news about my eyesight and on that day Stacy, my life changed just like that.

Leonheart: My vision is slowly deteriorating and there isn't anything I can do to stop it. I have gone through so many emotions from being angry, sad, to depressed but over time you just have to learn to accept what life throws at you.

Leonheart: That's why I resigned with OCW back in 2016 because I had to keep going. I needed that distraction and this place has helped me more than you can imagine."

Stacy Clark: "I'm sorry Leon."

Leonheart: "Don't be, I'm not looking for sympathy. There are so many people out there battling all sorts of shit that life throws at you.

Leonheart: You just got to keep going and take each day as it comes."

Leonheart: "Let's move on Stacy. I live with a lot of regret and my biggest one is what I did to Versus last year.

Leonheart: What I did was unspeakable so I had to go and take a hard look at myself in the mirror. It's amazing how so much can change in a year but I like to think I am a better person now and that's all thanks to Versus. He showed me the way to enlightenment."

Stacy Clark: "Do you still speak to Versus Leon? We have not seen him for along time."

Leonheart: "I do but Versus hasn't been the same recently. Shortly after I left Stacy, Versus went up against former OCW champion... Drago Cesar. That night Drago broke Versus."

Stacy Clark: "In what way?"

Leonheart: "Versus has always been the life and soul of this place. He brings out the best in everyone here. The atmosphere and energy he brings to this place is like no other.

Leonheart: When he fought Drago, he lost a part of himself. In all the years I have known Versus. I have never seen him doubt himself, ever."

Leonheart: "Drago Cesar is like no other man. Everything Drago hits, he destroys!"

Stacy Clark: "Then why do you want to fight him at Wrestlution?"

Leonheart: "Because I have too!"

Stacy Clark: "No you don't. Before this interview, you said so yourself that you feel you're not ready to get back into the ring tonight against Vincent Valmont. You only have a few weeks to prepare for Drago and you saw his match with Mugen. Drago is in the best shape of his life!"

Leonheart: "Look Stacy... I know what I said and Drago is going to beat me with an inch of my life at Wrestlution, no questions about it."

Leonheart: "Last year I may not have won a match but I when I fought Nate Ortiz at Certified Greatness 2017, I was at my very best and I gave Nate everything I had but I still lost!"

Leonheart: "Drago Cesar is one of the best to ever step foot in OCW but Stacy. He's not unbeatable and you know if I can get back to the level I was at last year with a clearer mind. I can beat Drago!"

Stacy Clark: "What if you don't beat him? What happens to Leon?"

Leonheart: "Honestly Stacy, I don't know but what I do know, is if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything."

Stacy Clark: "I guess only time will tell."

Leonheart: "Tonight I take a trip down memory lane as I fight Vinnie V and yes I am rusty as hell. So I am going to go train with all my penguin friends and get ready. That's if we're done here?"

Stacy Clark: "Thanks Leon and good luck for tonight. Yeah we're done and when you say penguin friends you don't actually mean penguins right?"

Just then, a group of penguins come down the ramp and run around the ring flapping their wings with joy.

Stacy Clark: "Now I have seen everything."
