THE PROVING GROUNDS SHELDON TREMBLAY
vs.
CODY HAGEN
Shianne Lovelace is seen bouncing and shadow boxing ahead of her massive Street Fight against the House of Faith. Stepping behind her, she hears Deborah approach with a serious look on her face.
Deborah: Shianne.
Shianne: Legs.
Deborah: Listen girl… I know I’ve been a real piece of work towards you before.
Deborah: But before we go out there, I wanted you to know… Last week? I meant what I said.
Deborah: I do really want to put our beef behind us and give you a match. One on one. No tomfoolery. To be honest, it’s something you should have gotten a long time ago.
Deborah: I know you understand… Next weekend, I have to do this first.
Deborah: But once I smash Joanna and you handle business with River?
Deborah holds up the championship and nods to her partner for the night.
Deborah: It’s me and you for this World Championship. The best woman WILL win.
Deborah: …But tonight, it’s all about beating those two down in Madison Square Garden.
Shianne relents an affirming nod and continues stretching and preparing. Deborah looks a little disappointed, but nods back and steps in front of her to head into the gorilla position.
Shianne: Legs?...
The champion stops and turns her head over her right shoulder. Shianne sighs.
Shianne: You ain’t gon’ ever be in my good book, but you’ve a tiny smidge of my respect. Let’s teach these faith freaks what real pain is like… and then? I ain’t skippin’ a day in the gym ‘fore I get to kick ya ass again.
Deborah perks up as she fistbumps her long-time rival and the two head through the curtain.
BELLEas CLARK EFFECT
The scene opens with Anthony Martin pacing back and forth, visibly upset. Mass Effect, the OCW Tag Team Champions, are leaning against the wall, seemingly unbothered. A-Mart storms up to them.
A-Mart: What the hell was that last week? You attacked Paul Harris for what? I expected more from you guys. I thought we had mutual respect!
Devon Flash: Respect? We expected you to help us out or at least lay down. Someone had to suffer for that. We spared you because of our past ties, A-Mart. You should be grateful.
A-Mart: Grateful? Devon, you didn’t lay down for me during the Triple Threat match for the C-Note North American Invitational. You pinned me! I could've beaten C-Note and been a champion right now. We wouldn't even be having this discussion!
Devon Flash: That was different, A-Mart. This is about OUR business and THESE titles. It’s not the same thing.
A-Mart: Bullshit it isn’t! Look, you had your chance to avoid this when I texted you about finishing what Aries started, with me leading the way. You ghosted me! Me! I was a champion by myself before both of you assholes. You think I’m gonna wait around for an opportunity? Paul and I don't agree on too much but we both know how important championship gold is.
RyVaughn: Enough of this. Ghosted you? Look Anthony, we were never in GSS to be buddies.. Aries said he’d fast track us to greatness. That’s why we were there hard stop. The truth is we never understood your role in the group, and we sure as hell don’t see you as a threat or a leader.
A-Mart: Not a threat? I pinned you, Ry. Remember that or did I drop your big ass on your head too hard?
RyVaughn: Oh, I remember. It pisses me off like nothing else could. If we ain't have to prepare to send two dorks to Tag Team Heaven, I’d get some payback right now but you're just going to have to wait.
A-Mart: I have no problem waiting because after Wrestlution 18, it doesn’t matter who holds the titles. Paul and I will be at the front of the line, ready to show everyone why we’re the real team to watch for.
RyVaughn and Devon Flash exchange a cold glance before smirking arrogantly. A-Mart turns and walks away, his resolve even stronger.
CUT TO COMMERCIAL.
