Following the events of High Stakes X Jessie found herself embroiled in a feud with Australian Bombshell/wife of Ben Jordan Evie Jordan and it didn’t take long for things to get personal between them with Jessie questioning how Ben put up with her and Evie flat out saying that Jessie should’ve been killed by her adoptive father all those years ago, in the week’s that followed the following happened, Jessie challenged Evie to a match at Inception IV (then known only as the first Supercard of 2021), Evie accepted and then it was made into a match that was quickly becoming Jessie’s specialty, the Chamber of Extreme.
The Christmas break followed but if you thought that things would cool off over the Holidays, you were wrong as Evie opened the year with a vicious attack on Jessie that left her hospitalized for the week after, and then at the Go Home Show Jessie retaliated interfering in Evie’s Street Fight against Char Kwon and whilst Jessie failed to cost Evie the match, Jessie would have the last laugh by unleashing a brutal assault on Evie that culminated in Evie being sent through glass doors by Jessie, now the stage was set for the Chamber of Extreme Match! Can Jessie win her first match of 2021?

You know what’s a great place to be in the middle of a fucking pandemic? A hospital! Yes, that is sarcasm, how did you guess.
As Jake said the previous day on Twitter, I woke up not long after I arrived at the hospital but since I woke up before the pain meds kicked in my initial words were vulgar to say the least, I did at least get a laugh out of two things since then, Jake’s tweet about not repeating what I said on Twitter being one of them, the other?
Bill Barnhart saying that he was going to easily beat Ben Jordan, it’s saying something when even the two nicest women on the SCW Roster (Team Hero) are having a good laugh at your expense, that’s all I’m saying.
And before anyone asks, yes, I’ve seen the card for Climax Control, and there’s no prizes for guessing which of the matches has my attention, sure, the main event will probably be fun to watch purely to see how far Andrea pushes her luck with Team Hero and the Zdunichs but it’s Evie’s match against Char Kwon that I’m most interested in for obvious reasons and since it’s a street fight, I can potentially cost Evie the match in retaliation, and that’s IF I’m discharged by then.
All in a day’s work, I guess.
“Well, Jessica, I have good news and bad news.” The doctor assigned to my care informed me and I rolled me eyes, yeah, I know he was probably just reading my name from the chart sheet but being thirty years old doesn’t make me hate my full first name any less. “The good news is, you’ll be out of the hospital on Sunday Morning.”
“Good, I won’t miss Climax Control and just call me Jessie.” I informed the doctor who nodded at my request. “No one refers to me as Jessica, not even my closest family members.”
“Understood Jessie.” The doctor nodded in understanding before continuing. “The bad news is, that attack left you with a severe concussion, I won’t discharge you if you fail a concussion test, that means……...”
“Doc, I’m a professional wrestler and I’ve been wrestling for twelve years.” I interrupted him with a frown on my face as I shifted my weight. “I know what a concussion test is and what it entails, that won’t be my first concussion test and it won’t be my last.”
“Ahh, yes, off course, my apologies but explaining these things is just second nature to me.” The doctor nodded as he got the idea at which point, I saw Keira standing behind him. “I didn’t mean to insult your intelligence Mrs. Salco,”
“I’m used to that.” I muttered to myself as I thought back to the numerous times the bosses have hindered my attempts to achieve my goals. Whether he heard me say that or not I’m not sure because he left the room without another word and Keira stepped in. “One of these days, we’re going to stop meeting each other in hospitals Keira.”
“That’ll be the day.” Keira nodded in response before sitting next to my bed. “Jake and Shane managed to buy you a new iPhone, it became obvious that Evie wasn’t going to say for a new one fairly quickly.”
“Fucking cheapskate.” I grumbled to myself before running a hand down my face. “Don’t you have a Main Event to prepare for?”
“That can wait until later.” Keira assured me and I nodded in response. “I heard what the doctor said about you being discharged, even if you pass that test you should take it easy.”
“I know, at least I’ll have a few hours to prepare my revenge plan.” I nodded with a frown on my face before running a hand through my hair. “So, have you and Roxi figured out a plan for dealing with Andrea in the main?”
“We agreed that it’ll depend on what she does.” Keira nodded as she shifted her weight. “If Andrea calls it down the middle and acts like a normal referee, we’ll treat her as such, they’ll be tension sure, but we should be able to work through it.” Keira added before frowning. “We also agreed that pigs will fly if that happens.”
“I was about to say, if that actually happens then you should ask Andrea what she did with the real Andrea.” I scoffed in response before sitting up. “And if she lives up to everyone’s expectations in the worst way?”
“It’s likely that she’ll show bias towards the Zdunichs given her issues with Roxi, if she does and it gets to the point where she tries to cost us the match then we’ll deal with her.” Keira explained and I nodded as I got the idea. “We’ll know the details come match time.”
“We’ll know one thing for sure, the bosses will watch that match whilst eating handfuls of popcorn.” I scoffed and Keira quickly nodded before the conversation shifted towards other topics.

Cathartic, Noun,
involving the release of strong emotions through a particular activity or experience.
Whilst I watched the Main Event of Team Hero vs. the Zdunichs on the monitor backstage following the chaos that was the ending of the Street Fight between Evie and Char Kwon I went to the trouble of googling the meaning of cathartic via the Cambridge dictionary, why?
Because I can’t think of a better word to describe my thoughts towards my revenge attack on Evie, oh sure, the boys may have been shocked by how far I took it but try telling me with a straight face that Evie didn’t deserve that attack, I’ll wait all week if I have too.
Well, okay, I’ll wait until I tape my first promo for Inception IV but that’s it!
Anyway, after I spent a good minute laughing my ass off at Andrea getting bit hard by karma (and Team Hero) after screwing with Team Hero for the entirety of the match I regained my composure just in time for Team Hero to return to the backstage area, however as I was gathering up my shit to head home Keira walked up to me.
And she wasn’t happy.
“Jessie, what the hell was that?!” Keira asked and I gave her a confused look. “Don’t play dumb, me and Roxi saw your attack on Evie during and after her match against Char Kwon.”
“Oh, don’t act like you don’t know exactly what that was!” I defended myself as I marched up to the World Bombshell Champion. “That was justice! That bitch put me in hospital for a week and you expect me to let that go unanswered?! If anything, I just upped the stakes for the Chamber of Extreme Match!”
“You call kicking Evie through several glass doors justice?!” Keira demanded as she put her hands on her hips. “You realize that you could’ve ended her career by doing that, right?!”
“And I’ll do it again if I could.” I retorted as I folded my arms. “Evie made it personal for me from the start, she had to know what she was getting into when she made that quip about my upbring! And as far as I see it, it’s not much different from the attacks you’ve made against rivals, or do I need to remind you off the fact that I was reluctant to invite you and Roxi to my wedding because Amy was going to attend?”
“And things were getting heated between me and Amy, I remember.” Keira nodded as she thought back to that summer. “But I never took it as far as you did.”
“Because you never had a rival bring your family life into a rivalry!” I interrupted her and Keira paused. “And before you point out the obvious, yes, I brought Ben into it first but he’s in the business, it’s only a matter of time before someone brings up the fact that Evie’s fucking a male member of the roster!”
“That may be right but if you are trying to better yourself then you just took about ten steps back.” Keira reminded me and I, for once, was rendered speechless when I heard that. “Your better than this Jessie, just remember that an eye for an eye………...”
“Makes the world go blind, I know the saying.” I nodded and Keira left without another word, seconds later the boys approached me, and I turned to them. “Let’s head home, I don’t want to spend another second here!”
“You know she’s right Jessie.” Shane responded and I quickly turned to her. “I get wanting to get revenge, but you took it too far tonight!”
“And a co-worker wishing that you had died years ago ISN’T taking things too far?!” I snapped at my husband as I quickly turned to him. “You agreed that she needed to pay for that attack last week, don’t give me that bullshit!”
“That doesn’t mean you should sink to her level.” Jake responded with a turned to my much bigger brother. “The full card for Inception IV was released whilst you and Keira were arguing, the match between you and Evie is still going ahead.”
“What? She couldn’t get a doctor’s note to excuse herself from the match?” I asked mockingly before we left without another word.

*promo time*
It’s been a long fortnight but I’m finally ready to cut my first promo of the year, and boy, do I have a lot to say.
“So, if I’m reading this right, Evie cam tell me that I should’ve died years ago at the hands of my asshole of an abusive father and everything’s fine but the moment I attack her in retaliation for a brutal attack the week before is the moment I’ve gone too far? I wasn’t aware that wrestling had adopted the public school system’s approach to the bullying problem! But despite the brutal attacks that we’ve visited on each other Evie, our Chamber of Extreme Match at Inception IV is still going ahead, do you know that means?”
Go ahead, guess.
“It means that we’re going to have to make those attacks look like a pillow fight! And to quote one of my favourite horror movie villains, oh yes, there will be blood! So much blood, that people will think that this was Violent Conduct instead of Inception IV but that begs the question, where did all this bad blood start between us? On the service, the answer seems obvious, it started when you interrupted my promo on the Climax Control after High Stakes X. right? Wrong!”
Dead wrong.
“It goes back a lot further than that, to the days where you were going by the name Evie Baang and were in the middle of your first World Bombshell Championship reign, I can’t remember the details, but I had managed to get a World Bombshell Championship shot against you and anyone whose looked at the history of the World Bombshell Championship knows that it didn’t end with me finally winning that belt, rather it ended after you cheated to win.”
Yeah, I still remember that.
“It cooled off for a while after that, but you reignited the flame when you interrupted me at the post High Stakes X, problem is? You reignited the flame by emptying a gas cannister full of gasoline onto the flame and were surprised when you got burnt! You made this personal Evie, more so than I did because whilst I did bring Ben into it first, he’s been on the SCW roster for years and pretty much everyone knows him as an SCW mainstay, my abusive adopted dad on the other hand?”
I asked as I shook my head.
“Whilst he and Krystal’s dad can serve as poster boys for why parenting licenses should be a thing, he hasn’t been a part of my life in years, hell the last time I saw him, he almost killed me! And once again I must ask, how is my attack taking things too far when you brought it upon yourself? Not just with that reference to my dad but with that attack you inflicted on me the week before that left me in hospital for a week?”
And speaking off the attack.
“I was barely conscious when you were telling me this but it’s still fresh in my mind, you will never have your year, you will always be SCW’s chew toy, first off, I thought it was Apple Coren who was SCW’s chew toy? She must be on the fast track to a worse win/loss record than me, right? But back to the point, were your words meant to demoralize me heading into our match? Was it your attempt to beat me down verbally and physically? I’ve got bad news Evie, you only succeeded in beating me down physically!”
That’s right!
“Why? Because if anything, your words only motivated me to prove you wrong! Not only in the Chamber of Extreme but in the year to come! This WILL be my year, I WILL silence the many, many critics I’ve accumulated in the SCW locker room and I WILL redeem myself for my past failures! In fact, that’s going to be my mindset for the rest of the year, redemption! Because my late New Year’s Resolution is to turn my reputation around completely by the end of the year! And it starts with you!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“This feud started innocently enough, then you went and made it personal between us Evie and the only way it can be resolved is in the Chamber of Extreme Match, a match that I am undefeated in and I don’t see that fact changing any time soon! Evie, you may be everything I hope to be in the fact that you’re a former World Bombshell Champion but as far as I’m concerned, it’s not a question on if I’m going to win that title this year, it’s when! This is the “Unsainted Angel” Jessie Salco signing off and Evie? Whilst you lay in the hospital bed recovering from my attack on you last week on Climax Control, keep this in mind, what I’ll do to you in the Chamber of Extreme will make that look like nothing!”
I walked off as the scene fades.
