Broken Pieces
Rage Room
New York City, New York
The neon sign above the entrance flickered with the words "Rage Room." Alexandra glanced up at it, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension. She hadn't expected her friend Miles Kasey to suggest such a place, but after everything she'd been through lately, maybe smashing a few things would be therapeutic.
"Are you sure about this, Miles?" Alexandra asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty as they approached the entrance.
Miles grinned, his eyes gleaming with mischief. "Trust me, Lex. Sometimes, breaking stuff is the best way to let out all that pent-up frustration."
With a nod, Alexandra followed Miles into the rage room facility. The interior was dimly lit, with sturdy walls lined with various objects waiting to meet their destructive fate. The air hummed with anticipation, and Alexandra could feel her heart rate picking up.
"Pick your weapon," Miles said, gesturing toward a rack filled with bats, crowbars, and sledgehammers.
Alexandra scanned the options before settling on a sturdy bat. She tightened her grip, feeling a surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins.
"Let it all out, Lex," Miles encouraged, stepping back to give her space.
Taking a deep breath, Alexandra stepped up to a table piled high with glassware, old electronics, and ceramic plates. Without hesitation, she swung the bat, shattering the objects into a cacophony of destruction. The sound echoed in the room, mingling with her grunts of exertion.
With each swing, Alexandra felt a weight lifting off her shoulders. The frustrations of her failed relationships, the disappointments, and the heartache all fueled her swings. She imagined John's face on the objects she smashed, then Justin's, and she let out a primal scream as she swung harder.
Miles watched with a mix of awe and amusement, occasionally cheering her on or offering words of encouragement. He knew that Alexandra needed this release, a way to purge herself of all the emotions swirling inside her.
After several minutes of relentless smashing, Alexandra paused, sweat glistening on her forehead. She looked around at the carnage she'd created, a mix of satisfaction and exhaustion washing over her. She found herself breathing heavily, she dropped the bat to the ground and turned to look at her friend, someone who understood it.
"Feel better?" Miles asked, a playful grin on his face.
Alexandra chuckled, her breaths coming in heavy. "Yeah, I think I do."
As they exited the rage room, Alexandra felt a sense of catharsis she hadn't experienced in a long time. The weight on her shoulders had lightened, and she knew that, at least for now, she had let go of some of the pain and anger that had been holding her back.
"Thanks, Miles," she said, offering him a grateful smile.
Miles clapped her on the back. "Anytime, Lex. We all need a little destruction therapy now and then."
Together, they walked out into the evening air, the echoes of shattered objects fading behind them. Alexandra felt a newfound sense of clarity and determination, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead with renewed strength.
“You would think our job would give us enough of a release. But honestly, lately it's been bothering me more than anything else.”
Alexandra felt the cool evening breeze against her skin as they walked away from the rage room. Despite the physical exhaustion from the intense session, she also felt mentally refreshed, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She glanced at Miles, grateful for his friendship and the unexpected therapy session.
As they strolled down the sidewalk, the city lights casting a warm glow around them, Miles turned to Alexandra with a thoughtful expression. "You know, Lex, sometimes the best way to move forward is to let go of the past."
Alexandra nodded, her mind still processing the whirlwind of emotions she had just unleashed. "Yeah, I think you're right. It's time to stop dwelling on what could have been and focus on what's ahead."
Miles smiled, his eyes reflecting genuine camaraderie. "Exactly. And speaking of what's ahead, I have a feeling that things are about to turn around for you. You've been through a lot, but you're stronger than you realize."
His words resonated with Alexandra, reminding her of the resilience she had always carried within her. She straightened her posture, a newfound determination shining in her eyes. "You're right, Miles. I'm not going to let past heartaches hold me back anymore. I have goals to achieve, and nothing's going to stop me. I need to look past what’s happened and focus on the Blast From the Past."
Miles chuckled, giving her a playful nudge. "That's the spirit, Lex! Now, let's grab a bite to eat and celebrate the start of a new chapter."
They continued their walk, the city bustling around them. Alexandra felt a sense of optimism growing within her, fueled by the support of her friend and the cathartic release she had just experienced. The night held promise, and she was ready to embrace whatever challenges and adventures awaited her.
Making the Call
Hotel
New York City, New York
The scene opens with Alexandra Calaway sitting in her hotel room, a determined expression on her face as she dials Alexander Raven's number. After a few rings, the call goes to voicemail. She clears her throat and begins to speak. This was risky, but she had to take the chance.
“Hey, Alexander. It's Alexandra Calaway. I know, I’m the last person you want to hear from, but..”
She took a deep breath. “Look, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I wanted to talk to you about the Blast from the Past Tournament. This could be our chance to break out of the rut we've been in, to show everyone what we're truly capable of if we team together one more time. I know we can do this. Do you really want your legacy to have that red stain of our loss?”
She pauses, gathering her thoughts before continuing.
“You and I both know that we're forces to be reckoned with in that ring. Together, we can create something incredible, something that'll shake up the entire wrestling world. But we can't do that if we're stuck in our own heads, doubting ourselves. I’ve moved on from all that bullshit, have you?”
Her tone becomes more urgent, a hint of frustration seeping in.
“So, I'm asking you to get off your ass, Alexander. Stop dwelling on the past and start focusing on the future. We have a chance to make history, and I refuse to let that opportunity slip through our fingers because of pride or ego. Be it yours or mine.”
She takes a deep breath, her voice softening.
“Think about it, okay? Give me a call back when you get this. Let's do this, Raven. Let's show them all that last year was a fluke. That we are the best.”
With that, Alexandra ends the call, her determination unwavering as she sets her sights on the upcoming challenge. But the voicemail wasn't enough for Alexandra. As she hit the end call button, she realized she needed to do more. She couldn't leave it all to chance, not when so much was riding on this partnership.
Determined to make her point clear, Alexandra picked up her pen and a notepad. She started jotting down ideas, plans, strategies. She wanted Raven to know that she was serious about this, that she believed in their potential as a team. After what seemed like hours of brainstorming, Alexandra finally had a solid plan. She grabbed her phone again, this time typing out a text message to Raven. She kept it short and to the point, just like her voicemail.
"Raven, I left you a voicemail. Listen to it. Let's meet up and discuss our strategy for the Blast from the Past Tournament. This is our chance to shine. - Alexandra"
She hit send and waited, the anticipation building with each passing second. She knew that if Raven could see things from her perspective, if he could grasp the magnitude of this opportunity, they could turn things around. The weight of uncertainty settled heavily on Alexandra's shoulders as she sat in her hotel room, staring at her phone after leaving a voicemail for Alexander Raven. She couldn't shake off the nagging feeling that Raven might have already given up before even considering her proposal. The thought gnawed at her, fueled by past encounters where their disagreements had led to dead ends.
"He's probably sitting there, listening to my message, and thinking it's just another one of my crazy ideas," Alexandra muttered to herself, frustration lacing her voice. She had poured her heart into that voicemail, urging Raven to see the potential they had as a team, but there was a lingering doubt that it might fall on deaf ears. “God damn it Raven.”
As minutes ticked by, turning into hours, Alexandra's anxiety grew. She knew Raven's tendency to retreat into his own thoughts, to dwell on past failures rather than embracing new opportunities. It was a pattern she had observed, one that made her question if this attempt to reignite their partnership was futile.
"I can't do this alone, at least not according to the rules. My partner has to be in it too." Alexandra muttered, her fingers tapping restlessly on the table. The Blast from the Past Tournament was fast approaching, and she needed Raven's volatile violence in the ring. But more than that, she needed his belief, his commitment to making this work.
With a sigh, Alexandra decided to distract herself, scrolling through old matches and memories of their past encounters. It was a bittersweet trip down memory lane, reminding her of the chemistry they had in the ring when they were in sync, when they trusted each other's instincts.
"I hope he remembers those moments," Alexandra murmured, a faint glimmer of hope mingling with her concerns. She knew that beneath Raven's stoic exterior, there was a wrestler hungry for success, for recognition. But whether he was willing to set aside differences and take a leap of faith remained to be seen. “Because, I know, we can do this, if he would just focus and keep his mind in the game.”
The silence of the room echoed her thoughts, the unanswered voicemail hanging in the air like an unresolved chord. Alexandra couldn't help but wonder if this was the end of the road for their Blast From the Past partnership or if Raven would surprise her with a change of heart. Only time would tell, and Alexandra braced herself for whatever outcome awaited them in the days to come.
Queens Blog: Reflections from Normandy: A Journey of Redemption and Resilience
Hotel Room
Normandy, France
Greetings, Sin City Wrestling fans and fellow warriors of the squared circle. As I sit here amidst the serene landscapes of Normandy, France, with the echoes of history reverberating through the air, I find myself reflecting on the path that has led me to this momentous occasion—the Blast from the Past Tournament.
This tournament holds a special place in my heart, not just because it showcases the legends of our sport but because it represents a chance at redemption. Last year, I teamed up with Alexander Raven in this very tournament, and while our partnership was formidable, it didn't yield the results we had hoped for. But as the saying goes, failure is not the end; it is the beginning of something greater.
This year, fate has brought Alexander and me back together as partners once again. The universe works in mysterious ways, and perhaps this reunion is an opportunity for us to rewrite our story, to turn the tide in our favor, and to show the world the resilience and determination that define us both.
Reflecting on the past year in Sin City Wrestling, I am reminded of the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned. It has been a journey unlike any other, filled with moments of glory and moments of adversity. From epic battles in the ring to personal struggles outside of it, each experience has shaped me into the competitor and the person I am today.
One of the defining moments of this past year was my rivalry with Julianna DiMaria for the SCW Bombshell Championship. Our feud was intense, fueled by passion, ambition, and a thirst for greatness. While the outcome may not have been what I desired, the journey itself was a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the bonds forged in the heat of competition.
As I prepare for the Blast from the Past Tournament, I carry with me the lessons learned from every victory and every defeat. I carry the determination to rise above adversity, the resilience to bounce back from setbacks, and the unwavering belief in my abilities and those of my partner, Alexander Raven.
To my fellow competitors in the tournament, I extend my respect and admiration. We are all here because we share a love for this sport, a passion for competition, and a drive to leave our mark on history. May our battles be fierce, our performances be legendary, and may the spirit of competition unite us in camaraderie and sportsmanship.
As the sun sets over the horizon, casting a golden glow upon the ancient cliffs of Normandy, I am filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement for the challenges that lie ahead. The Blast from the Past Tournament awaits, and I am ready to seize the opportunity, rewrite my story, and etch my name in the annals of wrestling history once more.
To all the fans who have supported me on this journey, I say thank you. Your unwavering loyalty and passion fuel my drive to succeed, and I promise to give my all in every match, every promo, and every moment in the spotlight.
Here's to the Blast from the Past Tournament, to redemption, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of Sin City Wrestling.
Yours in strength and determination,
Alexandra Calaway xoxo

The sands beneath her feet whisper tales of resilience and triumph, stories that resonate with her own journey in the world of professional wrestling.
As she gazes out at the vast expanse of the beach, her thoughts drift to the upcoming Blast from the Past Tournament. A tournament that holds a special significance this year, as fate has paired her once again with Alexander Raven, her former partner, turned rival turned partner again. The news of their pairing came as a surprise, but Alexandra is no stranger to unexpected alliances and the challenges they bring.
The waves crash against the shoreline of Normandy, a symphony of relentless power echoing the intensity that Alexandra Calaway brings to the ring. Standing amidst the historic sands, her gaze is focused, her mind sharp as she envisions the battle ahead.
"Alexander Raven," Alexandra begins, her voice carrying a blend of respect and anticipation. "We've danced this dance before, haven't we? The clash of our forces, the clash of our wills—it's a story etched in the annals of Sin City Wrestling. However, we didn’t work as a team last time and for that, you blamed me. But I won’t let your venom destroy us. This time, we will make it to the end."
She turns to face the camera, the winds tousling her hair as if mirroring the tumultuous journey she's been on. "The Blast from the Past Tournament is upon us, and fate has once again intertwined our paths. But this time, it's different. This time, we can stand united, ready to rewrite history.

The past between Alexander and Alexandra flashed through her mind. Quick snapshots of how the last Blast from the Past tournament went for them. Alexandra’s focus had been off.

"We've been on this battlefield before," Alexandra's voice carries a determined edge, her eyes reflecting the fire of determination. "But this time, things are different. This time, we won't falter.

With the beach serving as her battleground, Alexandra draws parallels between the historic battles fought on these shores and the upcoming tournament. "Just as soldiers faced adversity on these sands, we two will face formidable foes in Jamie Dean and Shay Owens. But mark my words, our resolve is unyielding."
The memories of past encounters with Raven flash through her mind, a montage of rivalry and mutual skewed respect.

Because that’s all I know."
Alexandra took the time to read some of the questions that were coming in. Wanting to give her fans the time they deserved to ask whatever they wanted to know.
"Alex, what's your favorite part about being a wrestler in Sin City Wrestling?"

"Are there any dream matches you're hoping to have in the future?"
Now that was a question she already knew the answer to.
"Absolutely! I'd love to get another shot at the Bombshell’s World Championship. I know I blew it last time, but there’s always the chance of another shot after the Blast From The Past Tournament is over."
She laughed softly, knowing to never say never in this industry. Did she want another shot at it, of course. Would she get it, absolutely.
"How do you stay motivated and focused during tough times or setbacks?"
She took a few moments to think on that one, knowing that she would be honest.
"It's all about perspective and resilience. Setbacks are part of the journey, and I use them as fuel to push harder. Surrounding myself with a supportive family, friends and fans also keeps me motivated."
She smiled and answered another question.
"Any advice for aspiring wrestlers looking to break into the industry?"
She gave another few moments to pause, thinking it through. But in the end, honesty was always the best policy to this question.
"Stay dedicated, work hard, and never stop learning. Building relationships, both inside and outside the ring, is crucial. And always remember to have fun and stay true to yourself. And for god’s sake, keep the drama in the ring. Nothing screws your chances like unnecessary drama."
The interaction with her fans continued to be lively and engaging, showcasing Alexandra's connection with her supporters and her passion for wrestling.
