It seemed as so Cassie was going to miss out on her second High Stakes, not to mention her second Supercard in a row after missing Violent Conduct the month before, as when the card for this year’s show was made public the twenty two year old’s name was nowhere to be found and to make things worse for Cass? Candy, someone she viewed as not putting in nearly as much effort as she did, had made the card against the returning Amelia Reynolds!

However the storm she subsequently kicked up on Twitter after voicing her frustration seemed to pay off in Cassie’s favour as the bosses added her to one of the existing matches and made it a Triple Threat, the match in question? What was previously a singles contest between former Bombshell Internet Champion Bella Madison and former Mixed Tag Team Champion Bea Barnhart, thus making the match a Triple Threat, can Cassie get the win?

This is fucking ridiculous.

When I missed the Violent Conduct Card last month I thought the bosses were still concerned about the damage my bad leg has sustained in the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match when I hit Bea with the Heir to the Wolfe (Running Powerbomb into a Lungblower) blowing out the knee in the process even through they had put me in a singles contest against Andrea Hernandez the week after that match, did I lash out in the seg I taped for the show? Yeah, but as far as Twitter was concerned I stayed quiet and just focussed on helping Harper prepare for her title defence against Alicia weekend.

Setting aside the fact that Alicia is now the champ I headed into the following cycle hoping things would be better, especially after I beat two former champions in Lilith Locke (which ended up being her last match with the company) and Candy at the first Climax Control of the cycle and faced Frankie Holiday in her first World Bombshell Title Defence a week later, and then?

Nothing, nada, zip.

Maybe it was the fact that they were holding two tournaments at the same time for the remainder of the cycle following the first Climax Control of the cycle but after the biggest match of my career to date I saw my Climax Control bookings dry up faster than a woman within five feet of The Troll while Harper dealt with her saga against Mercedes, I helped her out against Mercedes and Crystal when they attacked Zenna Zdunich after her non-title match against Mercedes but then, when the card for the Supercard was announced?

I wasn’t on it, instead several lesser talents like Candy, the Metal Maniacs and Bea Barnhart were booked and this time? I wasn’t staying quiet, and off course because I dared to speak up for myself I’m being labelled a cry-baby.

”Who the fuck does that sanctimonious prick think he is?!” I muttered to myself as I tried to take my frustration out by playing Elden Ring on my PC, keyword being try. ”Christian really thinks that being a former champion is a valid reason to book Candy over me? That bitch hasn’t held a title in years and half asses everything she does while I literally wrestled Andrea fucking Hernandez on one leg a week after I blew it out mid match? Fucking joke!”

“Cass, you know I can hear you in there.” Josh called out from the other side of the door to me and I rolled my eyes, he and Harper had popped round an hour  ago to discuss our plans for the Supercard and Josh’s upcoming speech after he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame but the moment my absence from the card and my tweets came up was the moment I locked myself in my room and pretty much told them to fuck off. “We can talk about this!”

”What the fuck is there to talk about?!” I snapped back as I glared at the doorway. ”The brain trust in charge overlooked me again and when I vented on twitter suddenly I’m the bad guy?!”

“You went after one of the most beloved Bombshells on the roster.” Josh called back and if I could roll my eyes any harder? I would, but right now I’m trying to beat one of the hardest base game bosses in Mohg: Lord of Blood. “And you’re telling me that you didn’t expect backlash?!”

”Backlash from who?! Idiots who think it’s still 2020 even though the world hasn’t gone to shit?!” I snapped back as I turned my attention away from the screen. ”I don’t care that both me and Candy are PWS: Apex Alumni, so’s most of the modern roster, what I care about it the fact that Candy hasn’t given a single solitary fuck about her SCW Career since she came back and Christian still thinks she’s more worthy of a Supercard Slot than me!”

“Not everyone can make the Supercards, we both know that! Maybe you should’ve listened to reason……………” I heard several phones going off at once, mine, Harper’s and Josh’s and it was enough to distract me long enough for Mohg to finish me off. “Did you get that Cassie?”

”Yeah, yeah, hold on a sec!” I called back before grabbing my phone off the computer desk and having my character rest at a Lost Site of Grace, it was a short text message from SCW, the kind that really only came about once in a blue moon, bit the subject couldn’t be clearer. ”CARD SUBJECT TO CHANGE: Cassie Wolfe has been added to the match between Bella Madison and Bea Barnhart.”

“Can I come in or not?” Josh asked and after turning off my PS5? I unlocked and opened the door. “Are you happy with yourself?”

”Happy that Christian has come to his senses? Yes, happy that I’m inevitably going to be called a tantrum throwing toddler for daring to call out this bullshit?” I quickly shook my head. ”No but way too many wrestlers on the roster are all too happy to tow the company line and are afraid to call out bullshit when they see it! I stood up for myself against an idiotic decision that again proved that Mark was the brains of the operation and not Christian!”

“In the real world this would be insubordination and you’d get written up, not given an opportunity to prove them wrong.” Josh responded as he shook his head and I rolled my eyes. “I can only do so much as your manager Cass, ultimately the decision lies with Christian!”

”You’re about to be inducted into the SCW Hall of Fame and Jessie’s doing your induction speech! Don’t give me that shit!” I responded s I brushed past the much taller man. ”Come on, don’t we have a meeting to continue?”

“We do, but this discussion isn’t over.” Josh responded as he let out a deep breath. “Harper did the same thing at Inception only to a lesser extent, I’m supposed to be guiding your careers and this happening whenever you get denied opportunities to compete doesn’t help you case!”

”Sometimes the bosses need to be reminded that they’d be nothing without hungry young talents like me!” I snapped back before going down the stairs to the living room where Harper was waiting. ”And Christian definitely needed to be put in his place after all the shit he tweeted!” I added before heading down the stairs.

Hero Academy, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 29th of October 2025, 13:00pm

So yeah, how has your week been?

Since I got added to the High Stakes Card on Monday I’ve pretty much stayed off twitter to focus on my training, same goes for Harper and her match against Mercedes and Victoria for the Bombshell Internet Championship though we’ve been trying to make it so that we’re not training at the same place on the same day.

Today? Harper’s training at Josh’s private gym elsewhere in the city and I’m at Hero Academy getting some reps in before we head out to Tucson for High Stakes, anyone who knows me knows that my personal history is tied to this place’s formation but to summarize: I initially trained under retired British Wrestler Matthew Kennedy who’s claim to fame is being one of the first Roulette Champs, at the time he was managing my older half sister Krystal during the tail end of Krystal’s title reign and sought to use me to control Krystal better.

Long story short? It backfired, he hasn’t been seen in years, Team Hero brought his place out, rebranded it Hero Academy and I went on to be the first wrestler to graduate, the second? Harper, yeah, there’s a reason we call ourselves Young Justice.

Since then there’s only been one other graduate: Ayden Lionvale, daughter of some b-movie horror actress from Hollywood who’s been tearing up the indies for the past month or so and before now it had been a couple of years since the last graduation so yeah, the standards for graduation are really high here.

”98…………..99………………….. I muttered to myself as I did some pullups, helping me with my workout was Thea, a taller girl who not only towered over my 5ft 3 ass but was a former basketball player to boot. ”100!”

“Well, if nothing else Cass, your abs will look amazing for High Stakes.” Thea teased me with a grin before the redhead pulled me up. “Any regrets over the twitter storm?”

”As far as getting me booked? No, as far as Josh and the rest of the roster goes?” I only shrugged my shoulders before taking a sip from my drink. ”Maybe they were right and I’m too angry/stubborn to admit it but I stand by what I said on Twitter, candy’s just here to collect a paycheque rather than put in any actual effort!”

“Not saying I disagree but you did ruffle a few feathers among my fellow trainees.” Thea admitted as she folded her arms and motioned towards the other trainees, both make and female. “You’d be surprised at how many of them count Candy among their favourite wrestlers.”


”Let them, and if they ever graduate and make it to SCW they can learn firsthand why the old saying “never meet your heroes” rings especially true in wrestling, no pun intended!” I added before motioning to the Hero Academy banner that hung above the rings and Thea barely supressed a chuckle. ”But right now? I’m focussed on getting as much prep done for the Triple Threat against Bea and Bella at High Stakes as I can before I head out to Tucson with Josh and Harper.”

“Meant to ask actually.” Thea asked as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. “Were you surprised that they made that match a Triple Threat by adding you and not Amelia and Candy’s match?”

”Way I saw it? Christian was either going to add me to Amelia’s return match or put me in something else and use the drama as a setup for a match between me and Candy at the next Climax Control.” I shrugged my shoulders before shaking my head. ”You know, knowing how much that man loves drama.”

“Understatement of the year, am I right?” Thea responded with a grin before motioning to the ring. “Up for a sparring match?”

”Always.” I responded with a grin before following the taller girl into the ring.

Cassie’s promo room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 29th of October 2025, 21:00pm

*promo time*

Yeah, I had a lot of things on my mind heading into this promo.

”Look, I have been outspoken for about as long as I have been an adult woman, when I see bullshit, I call it out and as of late? No bullshit stunk more than the fact that I literally had to fight for my spot on High Stakes!” I stated before the green screen behind me showed Candy. ”Especially when a woman who hasn’t given a shit in years gets on the card without a second thought

And off course when I decided to speak out against this crap? The spineless few who’s rather kiss the bosses’ rear end than do what’s right ganged up on me!” I stated before the green screen showed my face alongside Bea Barnhart and Bella Madison. ”Fitting that I am now facing one those who decided that no, I shouldn’t get away with this without being called a cry-baby alongside someone arguably just as  bad as Candy in Bea Barnhart!”

Yep.

”You know Bella? I actually used to think that you had a backbone before this whole episode but I guess Christian took that from you when you finally won a title!” I scoffed as I folded my arms. ”I mean seriously, are you that blind to the bullshit that was happening? I’ve busted my ass for over a year now, I already missed the one year anniversary of my Supercard debut because Christian suddenly has a “what have you done for me lately” attitude towards me but rather than call him out you take his side?

I guess Laura Phoenix has all the balls in the Madison family after all! Oh wait, your mother took his side too so she’s full of shit as well!” I added as I shook my head. ”Believe me Bella, I’m going to take pleasure in beating you up come High Stakes! Maybe then Christian will finally get his head out of his ass but I doubt it!”

And lest we forget?

”And here’s where the “former champions deserve special treatment” argument REALLY falls apart, because yes, Bea is a former Mixed Tag Champ but does anyone honestly remember her reign?” I asked before putting a hand up. ”Don’t answer that because that’s a trick question! Her reign practically lasted all of five minutes before Queen Alicia Lukass used her Queen for a Day powers to practically gift wrap the titles for Austin James Mercer and Tempest!

And yet, she keeps getting booked because fuck logic!” I declared as I threw my hands up in disbelief. ”Bea? You’re one of the biggest jokes on the roster and no one is laughing with you! I would’ve had you pinned the first time we met in Ibiza if hadn’t blown out my knee taking you out but now? My knee’s stronger than ever and I will take you down!”

It's that simple.

”Getting myself on the card after Christian randomly decided that over a year’s worth of hard work suddenly wasn’t good enough for two Supercards in a row was one mistake corrected even if it took Christian’s idiotic decision making to be called out for what it was for this Triple Threat to happen! And the ass kissers on the roster wonder why I took to twitter to call out this bullshit!” I declared angrily as I folded my arms. ”Spineless cowards like Bella who’d rather tow the company line than actually see my point will pay soon enough and Bea? She’ll just be a casualty!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”But please, continue to preach on about hard work being rewarded when this shit happens!” I scoffed before glaring at the camera. ”And trust mem the fact that Amelia Reynolds was the only one who saw this shit for what it was, me advocating for myself against management’s bullshit, isn’t lost on me either! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and rose tinted nostalgia goggles for the fucking pandemic? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And Bella and Bea? You ladies had better be ready because I’m pissed off and Hungry Like The Wolfe!”

I turned off the camera as the scene fades.

Much to Cassie’s frustration, she got snubbed when it came to a spot on the Violent Conduct card while the likes of the Metal Maniacs, Candy and Crystal and Seleana Zdunich but with the High Stakes Cycle starting anew? The Aussie found herself in action at the first Climax Control of the cycle in a Triple Threat Match, one of her opponents was Candy who had lost to the now former Bombshell Roulette Champion Victoria Lyons in a Buried In Sand Match, her other opponent? Lilith Locke who had unsuccessfully attempted to take back the Bombshell Internet Championship from Mercedes Vargas, can Cassie get the win?

Josh’s gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 22nd of September 2025, 14:00pm

What a fucking difference a year makes, right?

Last year when I signed my contract with SCW I found myself in a bit of a weird spot, after I tried to get off the ground with two open challenge attempts that were ignored by the Bombshell Roster while the bosses couldn’t wait to have Raine not only make her debut but take part in the Proving Ground Tournament which I was also apart of as part of my debut match, which I lost, and then I got a match against Raine after she won the Proving Ground Tournament, which I lost via knockout, but despite that I still got booked for that year’s Violent Conduct show!

And in case any of you are wondering who the fuck Raine is? Don’t waste your brain cells, that idiot rage quit the company after she lost the title match against the then Bombshell Internet Champion Julianna DiMaria and hasn’t been seen since.

But me? Despite only winning a handful of matches since then I never once failed to get on a Supercard! High Stakes? I was one of the first Bombshells announced for the Bombshell High Stakes Battle Royal, Inception? Lost to Crystal but still got on the card, Blaze of Glory? Easily the biggest match of my career as I was one of the six women in the Elimination Chamber Match for the World Bombshell Title and, well, you get no prizes for guessing how that ended for me! Into the Void? Despite initially being booked for a singles match against Seleana because of all the crap that went down between us I was in the Queen for a Day Ladder Match and lost.

I finally got a win on PPV at the Summer XXXTreme cruise by beating Seleana in the opener, right after I turned twenty two to boot, and yet, when it came to the penultimate Supercard of the year Violent Conduct? Nope, nada, sorry, nothing for you Cass, we’ve got to book wastes of space the fucking Metal Maniacs instead, seriously, how in the holy name of fuck do those idiots still have contracts?!

And don’t even get me started on the Zdunich marital spat #6942069! Seriously, does anyone give a shit about that marriage? Never mind the fact that they had the “bright” idea to book them in a Mud Pit Match!

Seriously, the only reason I didn’t say anything about that bullshit and join in on the backlash was because I was worried that speaking out against someone as petty as Christian would actually get me fired!

But hey! At least I’m finally getting booked this week on Climax Control! Against Candy and Lilith Locke and Candy! Yay! Now I know how Krystal felt after she got left off what was meant to be her first Blaze of Glory back in 2021!

“Hey! Hay! Take it easy Cass.” Josh intervened as he saw that I had been putting excessive force into the kicks I was aiming at the punching bag, I didn’t even notice the pain in my legs, not even my bad one, because I was mostly running on adrenaline! “You’re going to hurt yourself at this rate and then they’ll pull you from the Triple Threat!”

”Like that stopped them when I blew out my knee in that Roulette Contenders Match last month in Ibiza!” I grunted in annoyance as I glared at Josh. ”Oh what’s that? Cassie may have reinjured her bad knee delivering the Heir to the Wolfe on Bea? And it was targeted by Alicia earlier in the match? Ah, she’ll be fine to face Andrea Hernandez in one of her last matches in the damn company!” I scoffed as I rolled my eyes and Josh just shook his head. ”And even after I lost that match they still had the nerve to leave me of the Violent Conduct card?! Fucking joke!”

“Not everyone can make a Supercard card.” Josh sighed as he ran a hand down his face and if I could roll my eyes any harder? I would. “You know it, I know it………….”

”But they had plenty of room for those wastes of oxygen known as The Metal Maniacs AND for a clash of two former World Bombshell Champions that people only gave a shit about because it was made a mud pit match for five minutes!” I snapped at Josh as I folded my arms and stood up to my taller manager. ”And where were you during this time? Oh that’s right, giving all your attention to Harper’s Roulette Title Reign which lasted barely five minutes! Considering you’re the manager for both members of Young Justice? You’ve been doing a lousy job of managing me since Harper set her sights on Victoria!”

“Look, I get your frustration but my managing of Harper had nothing to do with your lack of direction!” Josh insisted and I just rolled my eyes in response. “And if I could get you on the Supercard? I would’ve but it was ultimately Christian and Evelynn’s decision.”

”The same brain trust booking Mud Pit and Metal Maniacs matches in 2025 while far more deserving Bombshells like me are being told to wait for High Stakes?!” I scoffed as I shook my head before letting out a deep breath. ”Seleana hasn’t been relevant in years and Crystal is leaching off Mercedes’s late career resurgence since that fluke win back in April! How in the fuck are they more deserving of a spot on one of the last Supercards of the year than me?! Maybe Mark Ward really was the brains of the operation!”

“Have you at least tried to get in contact about Christian about your frustrations?” Josh asked and I simply shook my head. “Is that a no?”

”I tried! And the only response I got, if you can call it that, is when I got the new card text last night to let me know about the Triple Threat Match!” I sighed before grabbing my phone and showing him my failed attempts at contacting Christian and Evelynn. ”And don’t even bother blaming the new signees to the company, between Ryan Ketys, Zenna Zdunich and Brandon Hendrix not to mention Alexander Raven’s return they couldn’t have been that busy!”

“Contract negotiations take time, I spent the post Supercard week off negotiating new contracts for you, Harper and me.” Josh responded with an exasperated sigh and I shook my head. “And that took me all week! Just focus on the Triple Threat for now and we’ll get back on track, I promise!”

”I’d better!” I responded before I resumed my workout.

Local Café, Long Beach, California
Friday the 26th of September 2025, 12:00pm

So yeah, I’ve had a lot stewing over past two weeks, all because of Christian’s bullshit priorities over which Bombshells actually deserve spots on Supercards.

Take my opponents for example, Lilith Locke has been lost since Kevin Carter left the company and granted, she got the Internet Title Match against Mercedes and Diamond because Mercedes got the title back under bullshit circumstances (and Diamond scored the mother of all fluke wins over Frankie Holiday) but she squandered that chance and Candy? She’s been a flop ever since she came back! Hell she peaked during the Pandemic!

And yet somehow she was brought back five years later, go figure.

“So Tell me Cass.” Josh stated as I fished he last bit of my food and I looked up at him. “Are you feeling any better about the Violent Conduct situation now that we’re in the city where Climax Control will take place on Sunday night?”

”Gee, I don’t know, I only went from one scorching hot city to a slightly cooler one on the coast.” I muttered sarcastically before taking a sip from my drink. ”And yeah, I’m used to warmer climates, born and raised in South Australia and all that, but I’m trying to focus on this Triple Threat on Sunday night and you’re dragging me away from my training every other day.”

“Because I’m worried Cass.” Josh explained and I gave him a curious look. “If you keep pushing yourself like this you’re going to burn yourself out like Krystal did last year, only at a faster rate than she ever did.”

”Except Krystal was the longest reigning Bombshell Roulette Champ before Victoria broke her record.” I reminded him as I shook my head, the café was pretty close the coastal area of the city and I found myself glancing out towards the ocean. ”You know what Krystal told me the last time we spoke? She and Makayla were planning to move back to Adelaide at some point, no idea if it’s got anything to do with everything that’s gone on since the current idiot in chief took power or if it’s to put as much distance between herself and SCW as she can but even so.”

“Given that they are an openly gay married couple? Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a bit of both.” Josh commented with a nod and I had to admit that he had a point there. “But if anything you’re proving my point, even Harper takes breaks from training every now and then she’s a military brat.”

”Not to mention her taekwondo and amateur wrestling background.” I added with a nod before the waitress came over with the bill. ”Meanwhile I’m a former stoner who played soccer in high school and has a porn addiction and a bad leg who’s ready to lash out when I get around to filming my promo for the Triple Threat, somehow? We make a great team.”

“Stranger things have happened in wrestling.” Josh reminded me before he paid for our meal on one of his cards. “And trust me Cass, as long as you pace yourself? You’ll turn things around by this time next year!”

”I fucking hope so,” I grunted before we got up and left.

Cassie’s hotel room, Long Beach, California
Friday the 26th of September 2025, 21:00pm

*promo time*

As I got ready to cut my first promo in weeks? Well, I have a lot of things on my mind.

”Violent Conduct, one of the last Supercards of the year and arguably one of the most important given that it’s the last stop before High Stakes and you’d think Christian would want his best and brightest on his first show post Mark Ward.” I commented as I folded my arms with a scowl, on my face. ”Nope! I got snubbed off the card while the Metal fucking Maniacs get to bend over the rulebook like a female porn star AND we get Crystal and Seleana’s latest pointless marital spat!

Tell me what’s wrong with that picture, I’ll wait.” I stated before shaking my head. ”Actually? FUCK THAT! I’ve waited three fucking weeks for another match and I’m through waiting! And what does my patience reward me? A Triple Threat Match against the Bombshell Division’s latest one hit wonder Lilith Locke and someone who hasn’t been relevant in years in Candy!”

Yep.

”I’d make a point by saying that those two also made the card over me but Lilith at least had a good reason, namely that Mercedes indulged in her new favourite hobby of screwing over more deserving bombshells!” I added before shaking my head. ”Oh wait, you squandered it and got pinned by Mercedes, my bad! And to think I was almost on your side Lilith! Trust me, I’m looking forward to using this match to make a statement at your expense!”

And as for Candy.

”Honest question here, was anyone really excited to see Candy return to SCW earlier this year?” I asked hypothetically as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”And no, Christian in his mad dash to fix his clusterfuck of a Women’s Elimination Chamber Match where only me and Mercedes actually qualified for the match doesn’t count! Seriously Candy, you haven’t been relevant since the pandemic and now you come back? I was a seventeen year old college student having to my computer studies from home because of lockdown when people cared about you in SCW but sure, take a spot that could’ve gone to me instead!”

I shook my head.

”Actually? Scratch that, I meant to say that it should’ve gone to me! I’ve been busting my ass for over a year, wrestled a former World Bombshell Champion one week after I blew out my knee in a match and that’s how they repay my hard work? Denying me a payday because the Metal Maniacs showed up?!” I scoffed as I ran a hand down my face. ”It would almost be funny if it wasn’t loaded with such bullshit! But at least in the Triple Threat? I get to set things right!”

It’s that simple.

”And by that I mean kicking the asses of a one hit wonder and a has been of course!” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Because after this Sunday I will be overlooked no more and the only women standing in my way right now are Candy and Lilith Locke, opportunity is knocking and it’s a collect call for yours truly!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”And when I do win this match? Maybe then Christian will realize how crap his whole “what have you done for me lately” attitude towards Supercard bookings is! But somehow? I doubt it!” I stated as I shook my head. ”Candy, Lilith? You ladies, to me at least, represented everything wrong with the Violent Conduct Card: valuing the stars of yesteryear and flash in the pans over some of the hardest working women on the roster! To all m fans? In a world of fake queens and the Metal Maniacs getting Supercard bookings in 2025? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess, and to Lilith and Candy? Be ready because I’m Hungry Like the Wolfe!”

I turned off my camera as the scene fades.

Cassie came up short against Andrea Hernandez but now? She faced another former World Bombshell Champion! Only this time? She was facing the winner of the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match from the start of the cycle and the #1 Contender for Harper’s Bombshell Roulette Championship Alicia Lukas! This mirrored a similar situation that happened during the Summer XXXTreme Cycle when Cassie faced Victoria Lyons in what ended up being Victoria’s last non-title match as Bombshell Roulette Champion, can Cassie get the win?

Cape Greco, Cyprus, Greece
Wednesday the 20th of August 2025, 09:00am

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before.

I ain’t got much going on at the moment and Harper’s heading into a big title match at the upcoming PPV so the higher ups decided that it would be fun if I, Harper’s best friend and partner in crime , faced her opponent at the PPV on one of the last Climax Controls of the cycle! Yep, you guessed it, this week I’ve got Alicia Lukas again only this time it’s in singles competition and Josh is reeling from being attacked by Crystal Caldwell at Mykonos this past weekend.

Oh and rather than me facing the Roulette Champion? I’m facing the Roulette Champion’s #1 Contender! The fact that Alicia technically defeated me (in other words? She pinned Seleana to win the match) to earn the shot at Harper just makes this more personal, especially since it was her attacks that caused me to have the leg problems heading not my match against Andrea a couple of weeks ago!

So yeah, this cycle hasn’t exactly been great for me but at least I’m past the crap with Seleana that haunted me in the latter half of the Viking Era Tour and throughout the Summer XXXTReme Cycle and I’ve had a pretty crappy year, can’t you tell?

At least my leg has healed completely from the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match, though I wouldn’t be surprised if Alicia went after the leg again.

”Let me get this straight Josh.” I commented as I folded my arms and Josh turned to me, we were both in our swim wear for reasons that’ll soon become apparent. ”Your idea of helping me prepare for the match against Alicia, is cliff diving.”

“That and it’s a fun activity to take your mind off things.” Josh responded as we reached the area where we were to cliff dive from. “I took Harper out Cliff Diving yes and she loved it.”

”Uh huh, and I’ll bet good money that she was screaming internally all the while.” I responded as I looked down at the water bellow us. ”Are you sure that’s safe?”

“Cass, you opened the Viking Era Tour by cutting a promo in a dormant volcano.” Josh reminded me as he folded his arms. “And now you’re worried about safety?”

”We had a guide with us for that trip into the volcano and the authorities in Iceland told us that it was safe.” I reminded him as I put a hand on my hip and Josh nodded as he conceded that I had a point. ”With this? we’re flying blind! Literally since we’re jumping off a cliff!”

“I get your point but there are ways to do this safely, you may have noticed that we’re on the lower cliffs and not higher up.” Josh responded as he pointed to the higher cliffs in the area and I nodded. “They advised me and Harp to start small and work our way up.”

”You mean like wrestling training? I asked as I folded my arms and Josh nodded. ”I know I was a prodigy in training but they still started me off with the basics.”

“Exactly, now I’ve checked the water and it’s safe to do so, and don’t do flips.” Josh added as he looked towards the water. “I know flips are part of your wrestling move set Cass but there’s a difference between jumping off as turnbuckle and jumping off a cliff.”

”Be honest.” I commented with a smirk and Josh raised an eyebrow. ”You never thought you’d be saying the sentence “there’s a difference between jumping off a turnbuckle and jumping off a cliff” when you decided to start managing me and Harp, didn’t you?”

“No, you’ve got me there.” Josh chuckled and I grinned in response. “Always feet first and upright, stand tall and don’t run or overjump.”

”Saying “stand tall” to a woman who you tower over is definitely a choice.” I deadpanned before Josh walked up to the cliff’s edge. ”Anything else?”

“Yeah, jump like this.” Josh responded before jumping off the cliff with his body straight like a pencil, arms to his side and his legs straight with his toes pointed, I ran to the side of the cliff on instinct and saw him emerge out of the water below. “See? Easy!”

”If I die here my mom’s going to kill you Josh!” I called after him before mimicking his dive, pulling it off successfully, I emerged from the water and splashed some at Josh. ”Don’t give me a heart attack like that again!”

“Figured it was easier to show you.” Josh responded and I rolled my eyes before we swam back to land and got changed.

Local Café, Cyprus, Greece
Wednesday the 20th of August 2025, 12:00pm

A few hours and a a quick dry off later and we were at a local café for lunch because as it turns out? Jumping off cliffs is a great way to work up an appetite.

Okay I was hungry anyway and Greek Food is still as delicious as I remember it from the last time SCW was in Greece (back in 2022 when I was still in training) but even so.

”If this is what we’re up too in Cyprus ahead of a random ass match against Alicia.” I commented after finishing my food and Josh looked up at me. ”Then I hate to imagine what you’ve got in store for me when we hit Miami Beach for Violent Conduct in a few weeks’ time! And that’s assuming I make the card at all!”

“It’ll be the one year anniversary of your first SCW PPV Match.” Josh reminded me and I nodded as I thought back too what was, ironically, a Roulette #1 Contenders Match that featured me and Seleana. “I don’t think you’ll have to worry about missing the show.”

”You say that but Harper got shafted last year and that was the one year anniversary of Jessie’s last SCW Match.” I reminded Josh as I shook my head and Josh nodded as he got the idea. ”Which led to Harper getting her first SCW Contract! Of course, as champ she won’t have to worry about making the card this year but I’m in the opposite camp.”

“That is one benefit of being a champion in SCW, they always try to fit to you onto any given PPV Card.” Josh nodded in agreement and, well, he should know since he is a former SCW Wrestler himself. “But don’t worry Cass, even if you don’t make the card I’ll find you something to do when we’re in Miami.”

”Just keep me away from Florida Man while we’re there.” I responded as I rolled my eyes and Josh chuckled. ”Wrestling is crazy enough as it is.”

“Agreed.” Josh nodded before our main course arrived.

The Tomb of the Kings, Cyprus, Greece
Wednesday the 20th of August 2025, 16:00pm

*promo time*

It may be a UNESCO World Heritage site, but it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a Metal AF name and that’s why I chose to do my promo here.

”The Tombs of the Kings, the one UNESCO World Heritage Site with a name that sounds like a metal album, tell me I’m wrong.” I commented as I folded my arms and looked around the area where I had decided to film my promo. ”But it is fitting that I cut my promo for my next match here because my opponent is someone who was once the queen of the Bombshell Division many a moon ago, both in the sense that she’s a former Queen for a Day Winner and World Bombshell Champ, only now?

The once mighty Alicia Lukas can’t even get out of the Bombshell Roulette Division.” I commented as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Excuse me while I play my World’s Smallest Violin.”

I proceeded to mimic playing, well, a world’s smallest violin.

”Yeah, in case you can’t tell? I have no sympathy for how far Alicia has fallen since her return to SCW.” I added as I patted my bad leg. ”The fact that she fucked up my leg during the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match back in Ibiza probably has something to do with it, I’ll let you be the judge of that, but there’s also the fact that she went straight after Harper upon hr return because clearly, a younger, hungrier woman getting the spotlight is a bad thing, right?

Oh what’s that? You targeted her because she’s Jessie’s cousin? Says the Bombshell who helped get her meathead of a sister a contract a few years ago! And where exactly is Zoey Lukas now?” I asked hypothetically before shaking my head. ”Don’t answer that, no one cares, and before you say you had nothing to do with Zoey getting a contract? Does anyone actually believe that?”

Nope.

”So in other words Alicia, not only are you a bitter old has been but you’re a hypocrite to boot!” I added as I folded my arms. ”I’m just gonna go ahead and say it, if you hadn’t gone after my bad leg in the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match? I’d be Harper’s challenger, not you, it was only because I blew out my already injured knee taking Bea out of the picture that I was vulnerable to Seleana’s Kattoga which led to you ensuring that that finisher didn’t secure Seleana the win for the hundredth time this year!

Seriously, how has Seleana been employed this long?” I asked before shaking my head. ”But trust me Alicia, this Sunday I’m entering our match with a healthy leg and I’m ready to sow you how the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match would’ve ended if not for my bad leg.”

It’s that simple.

”And sure, this is a case of “Second Verse, Same as the First” for me considering I faced Victoria Lyons right before she lost the title to Harper at Summer XXXTreme and you’re set to be Harper’s first challenger at Violent Conduct but there’s going to be a key difference come Sunday.” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Care to guess what that difference is?”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”I’m not losing this match, plain and simple!” I declared confidently before folding my arms. ”I’m not about to risk another cycle where I’ve lost a majority of my matches Alicia, hell I’m not even thinking about the act that you’re challenging Harper at Violent Conduct heading into this match, I’m thinking about avenging a loss that was beyond my control! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and bitter old hypocrites? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And Alicia? Be ready come Sunday because I wil be Hungry Like The Wollfe!”

I turned off my camera as the scene fades.

Cassie picked up the win over Seleana at Summer XXXTreme and it seemed like the beef between the two women had been settled, however later that same night Harper would shock everyone by dethroning Victoria and winning the Bombshell Roulette Title, becoming the first Hero Academy graduate to hold gold in SCW in the process! But with Victoria seemingly moving up the ranks and setting her sights on the Bombshell Internet Title, that left Harper in need of a challenger for her first defence.

And come the first stop of the Party Hard Tour in Ibiza, Spain? That challenger would be decided in what had to be the most unique stipulation the bosses have ever come up with: the Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match! The match starts with a dance off but as soon as the dance off ends? A No DQ Match Starts! And Cassie was one of the four women competing for that shot! Her opponents? Former World Bombshell Champion Alicia Lukas, Seleana and the ever persistent Bea Barnhart! Can Cassie get the win?

Cassie’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Sunday the 27th of July 2025, 18:00pm

Let’s talk about Summer XXXTreme shall we?

It took me under a year but I finally won my first match on an SCW Supercard and on the one year anniversary of my SCW contract signing! But at the same time? it got overshadowed.

Why? Two title changes happened that night, both in the Bombshell Division, the Bombshell Internet Title Change wasn’t surprising, I had figured that it would be a matter of time before Mercedes dropped the title to someone younger but I figured Bella would win it back after losing it to Mercedes at Into the Void, instead? It was Lilith Locke, the newest Bombshell in the match, who got the win.

No, what was surprising was that just over a year removed from the start of her Roulette Title reign? Victoria Lyons’s reign with the title had ended, she had tasted defeated at Harper’s hands and now? Harper was not only the youngest Bombshell Roulette Champion in the company’s history but she was also the first Hero Academy graduate to win gold in an SCW Ring! Suddenly when we got back from the cruise all the praise was heaped upon Harper, she even got her own banner hung up at Hero Academy.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous.

Harper wasn’t the first Hero Academy Graduate, that was me, I graduated in the fall of 2022 and after the first fed I joined was a non-starter I quickly found my footing elsewhere, even winning two championships in my rookie year.

Look, I’m not going to rant about how the MPW TV Title Reign ended, that’s well-trodden turf and you know it, but after Harper graduated? She seemed to eclipse me, I only had to outlast Keira Fisher in my graduation match, she had to out last both members of Team Hero AND Jessie Salco in a gauntlet graduation match! In her rookie year Harper won three titles and granted, she only holds onto one of those three titles these days because the fed folded while she was champ but the point still stands.

I was the first, yet I’m being overshadowed by the second, jealousy? Resentment? Take your pick, either way? Something’s brewing inside me.

“So Cass.” Josh called out to me and I looked up from my phone, Josh had been helping me and Harper pack ahead of the trip to Ibiza for the first stop on SCW’s Party Hard Tour and while nothing was really concrete at the moment? I was waiting for the first card announcement of the tour. “Ready for the trip to Ibiza?”

”Yeah, yeah, just waiting to see what I’ll be up too, if anything.” I responded with a shrug as I set my phone aside. ”The start of one of the last tours of the year is next week, after this we’ve only got High Stakes and then the end of year shows, anticipation’s running rampant!”

“I know the feeling from my days as an SCW Wrestler, never gets old.” Josh responded as he sat down in a chair. “Harper has been practicing her first promo as champion in front of a mirror all week long.”

”That doesn’t surprise me, Charlotte said she did the same thing in the leadup to her post title win promo.” I responded as I thought back to my older half sister and former Bombshell Roulette Champ Krystal, or Charlotte if we want to use her birth name. ”Then again Harper doesn’t even know if she’s got her first defence.”

“True but that never stopped Krystal.” Josh pointed out and before I could respond my phone went off, it was the new card text. “Gues we’re not waiting that long.”

”Nope.” I responded before I went through the card. ”Well, one of the new champs in the Bombshell Division is defending her title but it’s Lillith and not Harp, so she can rest easy…………..” I trailed off as I read the rest of the card. ”What the actual hell?!”

“What?” Josh asked and I passed him the phone, it didn’t take him long to find the match in question. “Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match: You against Alicia, Seleana and Bea?!”

”Yup, and the winner will be Harper’s next challenger.” I nodded in response as Josh passed the phone back to me. ”She’s not on the card so she wouldn’t have gotten the text but you might want to let Harper know.”

“I will, assuming she hasn’t seen the card for herself since SCW tends to tweet about these things.” Josh nodded as he folded his arms. “How are your dance moves?”

”I don’t dance, I mosh!” I responded as I rolled my eyes. ”I guess I can turn that nightclub’s dancefloor into a mosh pit but even so! Why?”

“Once we’re in Ibiza? I’m arranging for dance lessons.” Josh responded after thinking for a moment. “For both of you.”

”Both? But Harper isn’t in the match.” I pointed out and Josh nodded. ”Wait, you’re suggesting that she insert herself in the match?”

“It’s No DQ once the dance off finishes, and she can, if she wishes, try to influence who her first challenger will be.” Josh responded with a nod and I frowned. “And I know that could screw you over in the long run.”

”At which point it’ll be the High Stakes Battle Royal all over again.” I responded with a frown as I leaned back. ”I think we should talk this out when we get to Ibiza, at least use the flight to Spain as an excuse to plan things out.”

“Good idea, and I’ll let Harper know.” Josh responded before we resumed the pack.

Dance Studio, Ibiza, Spain

Tuesday the 29th of July 2025, 11:00am

Is it weird to dance with a woman who I could potentially challenge for the Bombshell Roulette Title? Probably, then again this whole match is weird.

As it turns out? Harper wasn’t exactly impressed by Josh’s suggestion that she use the No DQ Stipulation to essentially pick her first challenger and shot that down faster that The Troll gets shot down on dates! She didn’t reply to Josh’s tweet about it because she pretty much forgotten about it due to everything going on since she won the title and Carter reminded her via her own tweet.

Needless to say, Harper took angry tweeting to a new level but we’re still signed up up dance lessons for the week so here we are! And as it turns out?

Harper’s a worst dancer than me!

”Yesh Harp, I thought being a martial artist involved hand eye co-ordination!” I commented to Harper once we had taken a break and Harper rolled her eyes. ”You have to be the whitest dancer I’ve seen lately and I spent most of the cruise in the nightclub.”

”I’m just gonna go ahead and assume that you mean at night since, well, last I checked night clubs don’t open during the day.” Harper snarked and I just shook my head. ”Besides, I was just as much a tomboy in high school as I am now, not much time for dancing when I’m trying to better myself at athletics!”

”Maybe but think about how much skill goes into even the most advanced dances.” I commented before I took a sip from my drink and Harper nodded as she realized that I had a point. ”Why do you think there’s so many wrestlers out there with backgrounds as dancers?”

”True, and if nothing else these dance lessons will improve our footwork regardless of how the match turns out.” Harper nodded in agreement as she glanced over at the Bombshell Roulette Title that was currently draped over a chair. ”The fact that I won that thing from Victoria is weird enough, the fact that they’ve already set up a match to determine my next challenger is unreal, any idea what you’ll do if you win?”

”I mean, Alicia’s the closest thing I’ve got to competition in this match if we’re being honest but this is also the first time she’s been booked in a while.” I commented with a shrug as I leaned back. ”So long as we can avoid a repeat of the High Stakes Rumble? I won’t complain.” I added and Harper nodded in agreement before the instructor came up.

“Ladies, you ready to hop back in?” The instructor asked and we nodded before returning to the studio.

Cassie’s hotel room, Ibiza, Spain
Tuesday the 29th of July 2025, 21:00pm

*promo time*

As I got ready to shoot my promo I definitely had a few things on my mind.

”You know, if I ended this cycle by winning my first title in SCW? I’d be ecstatic, I’d do a victory dance, a merry jig, a Raindance of rejuvenation, a ho down of humbleness a most marvellous mosh pit, a legendary line dance, okay you get the idea!” I commented as I ran a hand through my hair. ”We have seen a lot of crazy match types since SCW Opened its doors, but a Disco Inferno Dance of Death Match for a shot at Harper’s newly won Bombshell Roulette Championship pitting me against Alicia Lukas, Bea Barnhart and Seleana Zdunich? WHAT?!”

I shook my head.

”You know it’s bad when I’m wondering what the bosses are smoking! The idea is that the match will kick off with a dance off before launching into a No DQ Match, again, what?!” I asked s I shook my head again. ”I swear they didn’t make this a Roulette Rules Match because Guy’s defending his title in the opener! But yeah, this puts me in a precarious position because Harper is my teammate and friend! What do we do if I win?”

Good question.

”And I’m sure the cynical old farts like Alicia Lukas will answer that there’s no friends in wrestling or some shit!” I added as flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”What’s the matter grandma? Grumpy that you haven’t been relevant since Amber Ryan broke your records? You were always critical of Krystal during her Roulette Title Reign because of the quality of her challengers but now that Krystal’s gone and I’m here now you’re interested in the Bombshell Roulette Division? Guess we’ll see if you handle little old me!”

Next up Bea.

”But at least Alicia held a title longer than it takes me to grab a drink from my hotel room’s mini fridge which is more than I can say for Bea freaking Barnhart!” I commented as I shook my head. ”Out of all the bombshells in SCW Bea? You are definitely one of them, and that’s not a good thing! Your one title reign was barely a blip in the record books and since then? You’ve stared at the ceiling lights more than anyone else in this company, this will be no different!”

And lastly?

”I’m only saving Seleana until last because this is my third straight match against her and I’m getting sick of it.” I stated bluntly as I folded my arms. ”First you faced me and Harp in that tag team match, then the grudge match at Summer XXXTreme and now this! I don’t really count Queen for a Day because we both lost that match but still! You really think this will be different? Think again!”

It's that simple.

”I guess all I can say at this point about this match is Burn, Baby Burn!” I added before humming the song that went with that line. ”And now I’ve got that old disco song stuck in my head! But hey, at least it’s more relevant than either Alicia or Bea or popular than Seleana at this point! Low bar? Maybe, but I’m not lying, am I?”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Because once everything’s said and done? “The Rebel Princess” will need a new title, how does “Queen of the Dancefloor” sound?” I asked playfully as I grinned at the camera. ”Either way? That title shot’s mine! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and the bosses letting the intrusive thoughts win? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And to Alicia, Bea and Seleana? Be ready because I’m hungry like the wolfe!”

I turned off my camera as the scene fades.

Though Cassie did pick up the win in Young Justice’s Tag Team Match against Diamond Caldwell and Seleana Zdunich the young duo haven’t seen much action since then, in fact they’ve been busy with issues that started during the Viking Era Tour: Harper’s ongoing war with Victoria Lyons had only intensified because Lyons hadn’t pinned Harper during the Queen’s Gambit Match at Into the Void while Cassie was out to solve her issues with Seleana that started mid-way through the Viking Era tour! In fact, Cassie had gotten so restless that she had requested a warmup match at the Go Home Show before Summer XXXTreme and the bosses apparently decided to kill two birds with one stone.

How? By booking a non-title match between Cassie and Victoria for the Go Home Show in Grand Junction, Colorado! The match wasn’t being contested under Roulette Rules but a win here could radically alter the Roulette Title Match that was scheduled between Harper and Victoria for this year’s Summer Spectacular, can Cassie shock the world and get the win over a woman who is easily the most dominant fact of the Bombshell Division? Especially since the match was happening a few days before her twenty second birthday?

Backstage at Climax Control 429, Boulder, Colorado
Sunday the 29th of June 2025, 21:00pm

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how I came about signing my SCW Contract this time last year, give or take a month or two.

The main one seems to stem from the fact that I arrived right as my half sister Krystal was on her way out of the company, the truth is Krystal’s contract didn’t expire until this past February and she chose not to renew it, as for why she disappeared? She had arranged to take some time off ahead of the show because she had nagging injuries to deal with and during said time off she reevaluated whether or not she actually wanted to return because of how far her stock had fallen since the start of the new year and well, you know the rest.

The other misconception is that people think that I got my spot on the roster because Krystal was the longest reigning Bombshell Roulette Champion before Victoria came around! And yeah, I am related to Krystal through marriage (and initially thought I was her younger cousin but that is a LONG story) but I had already built up my reputation outside of SCW before then, hell, I was a double champion during my rookie year!

Just don’t talk about how my first (and thus far, only) singles title reign ended, that shit still pisses me off! The point is? I had been on SCW’s radar for a while, the main things keeping me from signing up sooner were one: at the time I was living in Reno and that was one hell of a commute to Vegas and two: I still had some lingering bad feelings from that attack at 2023’s Blaze of Glory that basically led to Krystal’s “I’m a Bitch” phase.

Sure, I was still living in Reno when I signed with SCW but that didn’t last long as Josh managed to find me a decent sized house in a non-HOA neighbourhood back in Vegas, and since then? I’ve been trying to carve my own path as a Bombshell.

”There you are!” I greeted Harper as I walked up to her and Harper grinned before clapping hands with me. ”Man, you really took it to Victoria and Kate tonight!”

”Yeah, well, I wasn’t about to let them get the one up on me.” Harper responded as she leaned against the wall and I nodded in response. ”Any idea what they’re going to do about you and Seleana? You’ve been calling her out just as long as I’ve been going after Victoria this cycle  but I’ve at least heard from Victoria! And Kate to a less extent.”

”I haven’t heard anything from either the bosses or Sel, not even sure if the match will go ahead at this point.” I responded as I shook my head and Harper nodded as she got the idea. ”Worst case scenario I guess is that we end up in another multi-woman match but if that does happen I might just say screw it and move on! and hey, at least you ensured that Kate had a very bad night tonight!”

”True, but knowing her? She’ll probably try to flex it like “still unpinned or haven’t been submitted”, like beating Bea is a flex!” Harper responded with a scoff as she rolled her eyes. ”We both know that streak would’ve ended it Amelia wasn’t the third wheel in the match!”

”Ironically taking advantage of the same mistake that got her brother pinned in the opener.” I scoffed but before I could say anything else? I felt my phone vibrate in my jeans’ pocket, and at this time of night on a Sunday that hosted a Climax Control? That could only mean one thing. ”Sounds like the bosses have granted my wish for a warmup match.”

”My phone didn’t go off so I’m guessing it’s not a tag match of sorts.” Harper responded before we dug our phones out, Harper was right, she hadn’t been booked for the Go Home Show but I had, Harper went to pocket her phone again when she saw the look on my face. ”Why do I get the feeling that your match is going to complicate things?”

”Because there’s a good chance it will!” I responded as I shook my head and Harper’s frown deepened. ”I’m facing Victoria in a non-title match.”

”Wait, what?!” Harper asked before taking the phone from me to confirm for herself. ”Non-title like you said, standard rules, I haven’t been mentioned anywhere except for the match description, what are they playing at?”

“Looks like the SCW Text system has beaten me to the punch.” We looked up and saw Josh approaching us with a neutral expression on his face, as the manager of both me and Harp? It was safe to say that he had a lot of thoughts about this situation. “Cass, I’ve been talking with Mark and Christian since your segment aired, they had their hands tied after what Logan did to those local guys but they decided to throw this match together because of your connection to Harper.”

”And I’m guessing they said nothing about me and Seleana?” I asked and Josh nodded to confirm my suspicions, I shared a look with Harper before adding, ”Okay but where does that leave us? I thought Kate Steele was going to be the third wheel in Harper’s match at Summer XXXTreme but now it’s being advertised as a one on one match between Harper and Victoria.”

“I’m not sure, they weren’t exactly forthcoming.” Joshua responded as he shook his head and me and Harper nodded. “You’re both my charges of course and you both being in the Roulette Title Match at one of SCW’s biggest shows would raise my stock as a manager while raising your stocks, but Cassie needs to beat Victoria on Sunday before they even think about that, not to mention it’ll be your last match as a twenty one year old woman.”

”Yep, turning twenty two exactly five days later.” I nodded in response as I folded my arms. ”Mom’s already got me a Switch 2 for my birthday, she accidentally spilled the beans on that when I had a vid chat with her on Friday, so I guess on one hand we can count this as an early birthday present for me.”

”While only making things more complicated for me.” Harper responded as she let out a deep breath. ”So much for this issue potentially being resolved at Summer XXXTreme.”

“It could still be resolved, Cassie’s involvement in the Roulette Match is dependent on her beating Victoria this Sunday.” Josh assured Harper and I frowned as I folded my arms. “And you have something to say about that I bet.”

”I mean, yeah! The Bombshell Roulette Title is the only belt I haven’t competed for since I signed with SCW last year.” I responded as I thought back to my previous matches. ”My official Supercard debut was against Luna, Alexandra and Seleana in a Tables Elimination Match to determine Victoria’s challenger for last year’s High Stakes but that’s the closest I’ve gotten, then I was in the High Stakes rumble but I could’ve gone after any title in the division if I won that thing, then I had my match with Crystal, then the Elimination Chamber and finally the Queen for a Day Match, notice anything missing from hat list?”

“A Roulette Title Match? Of course, if you had won the tables match, the rumble or the Queen match then we’d likely be telling a different story.” Josh responded with a nod and I had to admit, he was right. “I know you mentioned  that you wanted to go after Victoria if you won the rumble, but what about the Queen for a Day match?”

”If you mean “have I figured out what I would’ve done if I had grabbed the crown instead of Alexandra”? I was torn between a match with Victoria or Mercedes to be honest.” I responded with a shrug and my companions nodded. ”I know it’s the ultimate “King/Queen for a Day” cliché but that was the first thing that came to mind when we were in Paris that weekend, of course we all know how that turned out but either way? We’ve got training to do.”

“Indeed, we’re in Grand Junction for the Go Home show next week so I expect you two to be ready.” Josh nodded in response before he started to walk off. “Until then? Let’s get going.” Josh added before we left the arena.

Boy oh boy, did THIS escalate quickly!

Hero Academy, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 2nd of July 2025, 14:00pm

Well, it’s official folks, we’re one week away from my turning twenty two! Well, a week and two days but hey, who’s counting, am I right?

But as much as I want to just focus on the fact that I’ll be celebrating my birthday on the cruise? I think you can guess what’s also on my mind right now, yep, you got it, it’s the match with Victoria at the Go Home Show!

I’ve been training with Josh and Harper for most of the week since the match was announced but today? I went back to my old stomping grounds, the school where I homed my craft as a wrestler! Well, after that PTA Gym bullshit but well, we haven’t seen Matthew Kennedy since the tail end of 2023 so yeah.

Anyway, I knew exactly who I wanted to train with, because I’m a petite woman (5ft 3 and 118ibs to be precise) going up against a woman five inches taller and 52ibs heavier than me and I need someone close that that height range.

”Hey Thea.” I greeted the red headed trainee and she looked up from the weight machine, for those don’t remember? Thea was one of two Hero Academy trainees me and Harper trained with in preparation for the tag match between us and Seleana and Diamond, Thea was selected as our sparring partner because she’s a former Basketball Player turned wrestling trainee who had taken to wrestling like a duck to water, meaning that she was perfect for my purposes. ”How goes training?”

“Going good, and I figured you’d come looking for me at some point this week.” Thea responded before setting the weights down and sitting up on the bench. “Because between me, Seleana and now Victoria? You can’t seem to escape the tall babes lately.”

”Funny, I thought we were just out of pride month.” I snarked as I shook my head and Thea laughed. ”Besides, I’m one of the shorter bombshells on the SCW roster right now, most of the women tower over me.”

“Yeah, good point!” Thea admitted before standing up and yeah, I was like a little girl next to Thea. “You want to to spar? Let’s go, just don’t assume that I’m a big lumbering giant because I can actually reach the top shelf, there’s a lot more to basketball than just being tall and knowing how to handle a ball!”

I bit my tongue on making any sex jokes regarding that last quote, Thea hadn’t really revealed her sexuality or if she was even seeing anyone for that matter so I wanted to play it safe. ”Yeah, I know, we sparred before, remember?”

“Maybe, but that’s pretty much what everyone else expects when they realize I’m one of the tallest women in the room.” Thea scoffed as she shook her head before I joined her in one of the training rings, Thea stepped in using the classic “big wrestler with long legs” approach and I rolled in. “Though I will admit that stepping into the ring like that will never get old.”

”Until you take too long and the rope bounces up against your snatch.” I commented dryly and Thea winced. ”Happened once during Hero Academy’s early days, the poor girl quit on the spot.”

“Note to self, don’t spend more than a few minutes getting into the ring like that.” Thea grimaced because shaking her head. “Ready when you are Cass.”

The match that followed was exactly as I expected, Thea was tall sure but she was the kind of athletic tall girl that could keep up with shorter girls like me, sure, she was green but it was clear that the Hero Academy trainers thought highly of her.

And yeah, she’s smoking hot too, there was a brief moment where Thea lingered a bit too long where our faces were inches part from a pin attempt but that was brief and we got back to training before long.

And honestly, I needed a sparring partner like Thea for matches like this!

Cassie’s Promo Room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 2nd of July 2025, 18:00pm

*promo time*

As I stood inside the promo room ready for my promo against the champ I had a few things on my mind to say the least.

”You know, when I said that I wanted a warm up match for Summer XXXTreme and my match against Seleana, I wasn’t sure what to expect.” I admitted as the green screen behind me showed a big question mark. ”Apparently the bosses decided to kill two birds with one stone! Not only did they grant my request but they’re using this warmup match to hype up Harp’s match at Summer XXXTreme, how?

By putting me against Victoria Lyons.” I commented ass I shook my head. ”I swear between this and Alexandra I simply can’t escape my fellow PWS: Apex alumni! But anyway, Victoria is someone I’ve wanted to face anyway, since the Viking Era Tour in fact, but since Harper was busy with her in Paris? I let them be.”

But………..

”But do I need to remind you of what happened the last time I was in a ring with Victoria? Go on, guess.” I shook my head as the green screen showed Harper slamming the chair into my back. ”Victoria used me as a human shield in her little war against Harper, I was mad at first because of that because, well, chair shots to the back hurt like a bitch, shocking, I know.

But I realized that Harper wasn’t at fault for that by the time Into the Void rolled around, though to be fair the fact that I was also dealing with the Seleana situation didn’t help matters! no, instead I focussed my anger on the bitch that orchestrated that whole situation in the first place and trust me Victoria, I’ve been waiting for a chance at revenge.”

But how?

”One idea I had was to book me against you if I won Queen for a Day at Into the Void, pretty sure I don’t need to remind you of who won it instead and regardless of whether Harper took the title from you or not? That was in my plans.” I added as the green screen showed me with a photoshopped crown on my head. ”But nope! We got to enjoy another feew weeks of you holding the title.

Only your reign has hit shaky ground Victoria! Sure, Frankie had a little help from Harper but that was still a loss, then you lost to the Harris brats and the week after that? You got dunked by something I could smell from the backstage area.” I commented with a grin as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Do you know who held the record for longest reign before you Victoria? My older half-sister Krystal, and just like you? She lost an important match during the final days of her reign, in other words? The Queen’s reign is about to end!”

Yep.

”It would be poetic if a Wolfe ended the reign of a Lyon, kind of a bookends kind of deal, but alas, this match is non-title.” I added as I folded my arms. ”But you seem to choke the most when the gold isn’t at stake Victoria, your first oss was to Luna in a non-title match and set a precedent for others to follow: you lose before your next title match and then retain the title, right?”
It's that simple.

”It would apply to this cycle, except this is the first time you’ve lost more than one match in a row,” I stated as I looked at the camera with a cocky grin. ”And as someone who is a former champ myself? Babe, I haven’t seen this many cracks appear since there was a plumbers convention on the strip! It took over a year but you are finally slipping Vicky, allow me me to help drive the last nail in that coffin.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”The coffin for your title reign that is! And after I win? Who knows? Maybe Kate will get the shaft and it’ll be Young Justice vs. Vicky for the gold? I mean honestly, was the world really clamouring for a Kate Steele return?” I asked before shaking my head. ”Don’t answer that, we all know the answer! But in the meantime Victoria we’ll make do with the following battle: A Lyon vs. A Wolfe, and the Wolfe’s about to go all “Long Live The King” on the Lyon Queen’s Ass! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and champions on the decline? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess, especially since that princess is about to show a delusional queen why she’s Hungry Like the Wolfe!”

I turned off the camera as the scene fades.

Into the Void was almost here and with it came the Queen for a Day Ladder Match that pit Cassie Wolfe against Seleana Zdunich, Seleana’s wife Crystal, Kat Jones, Julianna DiMaria and Alexandra Callaway! The prize? The ability to book their own Climax Control during the next cycle, can Cassie get the win and what would the 21 Year Old book?

Local café, Paris, France
Wednesday the 21st of May 2025, 12:00pm

You know those “big match jitters” that you tend to get the week before a Supercard match? Well, I’ve been struck hard by them since the week started.

And sure, you could see it as a form of karma because of that comment I made about Seleana’s kids back in Denmark (and yes, I still regret those comments) but whatever you call it? The pressure of being in the Queen for a Day Match against Seleana, her wife Crystal, Kat Jones, Alexandra Callaway and Juliana DiMaria at Into the  Void this Sunday is getting to me a bit, you want to know how?

Monday night? Slept like a baby, Tuesday night? Didn’t get to sleep until around 3:00am and managed to sleep right through breakfast even with Josh’s repeated attempts to wake me up! By the time I finally woke up it was nearly half eleven so after rushing through my morning routine and getting dressed I had to settle for getting brunch in the city because the hotel restaurant is only open for dinner and breakfast.

And no, I’m not waiting another five or so hours before I eat anything, I’m small as it is (usually averaging out at 118ibs) and if I lost any weight I’d start worrying about anorexia and shit, not exactly the kind of thing I need as a twenty one year old wrestler for one of the biggest feds in North America!

Hopefully my sleep schedule gets back to normal before Into the Void rolls around but since we’re mid-way through the week? I don’t have my hopes up, on one hand Kat, Crystal and Seleana have all been quiet since the match was announced but on the other hand that still leaves me with Alexandra and Julianna to worry about, a former Roulette Champion and someone who I’ve faced more times than anyone else in SCW and a former World Bombshell and Internet Champion.

Yeah, no one said winning Queen for a Day was gonna be easy!

Anyway, joining me for Brunch was Joshua and while Harper had decided to take a lazy day after eating (in her own words) a mountain of falafel yesterday that left us to our own devices today.

“So Cass, feeling a bit better after your lie in?” Josh asked me as I took a sip from my coffee. “I was half tempted to see if I could get Gojira to play outside your hotel room at one point to see if that would’ve woken you up.”

”And I would’ve been too tired to even throw a pillow at you the moment you opened my hotel room door, never mind headbang to the best modern metal band from France.” I grunted before letting out a yawn. ”Seriously, I’m not sure what time exactly I fell asleep last night, I just know that it was after 3:00am.”

“Restless night?” Josh asked with a knowing look and I nodded in response. “Real question is, match nerves or guilt over that comment?”

”At this point? I’m tempted to answer that with a question of my own, “why not both?”.” I responded with a sigh before stretching my arms with a yawn. ”I mean, in the grand scheme of things the Queen and King for a Day Matches only have any lasting impact if you use the power to book yourself in a title match and win or otherwise engineer a title win, that or make being queen your whole personality like Victoria after she won last year’s match, but it’s still a pretty major match and the same goes for the King for a Day Match.”

“True enough, and if Guy has his way he’ll be the first ever 2x King for a Day,” Josh nodded in agreement as he shifted his weight. “Have you given any thought on a potential card if you do win?”

”Not exactly a great thing to ask someone already operating on low sleep.” I commented dryly as I brushed some hair out of my face. ”I tried to brainstorm some ideas over the weekend by bouncing ideas with Chat GPT but it kept getting details wrong and I gave up after it tried to book Mercedes vs. Bella in a rematch for the fifth time in a row.”

“That sounds about right for an AI to be fair.” Josh commented with a dry chuckle and I shook my head. “You didn’t think to ask Harp?”

”She’s got enough on her plate with the Roulette Title Match, besides, if she wins I might just use my powers to book her first defence.” I responded with a shrug and Josh nodded. ”Not against me, I had an easy opponent in mind, just need to make my mind up between Bea Barnhart or Candy.”

“Or both? I mean, Krystal did beat them both in her Roulette Title Qualifier so if nothing else it would be a nice call back.” Josh suggested and I nodded upon realizing that that wasn’t a bad idea. “Or maybe some sightseeing will stir some ideas.”

”That does sound good but I’ve already been to the Eifel Tower and I don’t want to do obvious locations like the Louvre on a promo day either.” I responded as I shook my head and Josh nodded as he got the idea. ”Any ideas?”

“I might have a few.” Josh nodded as he took a sip from his drink. “Leave it with me.” He added before the conversation drifted off.

Sainte Chapelle, Paris, France
Wednesday the 21st of May 2025, 15:00pm

By the time we got to the chapel I had officially (and finally) woken up thanks to all the coffee that I had drank back at the café, and sure, I had to take a bathroom break after a while but it was worth it since it meant that I wasn’t walking around one of the most iconic cities in the world looking and acting like a zombie.

You think I’m kidding about that? Nope, you should’ve seen me before me and Josh arrived at the café!

But yeah, it took us a bit of time but we are here at the Sainte Chapelle, a place I had never even hard of until Josh found it, and well? My words can’t really do this place justice.

Gothic Architecture? Check, floor to ceiling stained glass windows? Check, only downside? The next opening slot was 15:00pm, an hour removed from when we arrived at the place but it was worth the wait.

And besides, after coming this far I wasn’t about to turn around.

”Man, this place is epic.” I commented to Josh as I looked around the Sainte Chapelle’s interior. ”Err, would I get in trouble for saying “holy shit” in a Chapelle?”

“If there was a time to find out, now’s the time.” Josh teased me and I could’ve sworn I heard the psycho music from that old film but that quickly died down. “So, what do think? Good place for your second promo?”

”Nah, it’s not good.” I responded with a teasing grin as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”It’s perfect! Just need to get the creative juices flowing.” I responded as I shook my head. ”What do you think?”

“You’re a smart girl, you’ll figure something out.” Josh assured me and I nodded in response as I looked around the place some more. “What do you want to get out of winning the match?”

”Shouldn’t that go without saying? I’ve been trying to get a win on PPV since I debuted for the company last year.” I asked as I folded my arms and Josh nodded. ”Besides that? I’ve been the Rebel Princess since I graduated from Hero Academy in 2022, isn’t it about time that I ascended to the Rebel Queen? And no, I’m not changing my nickname, Rebel Princess sounds a lot cooler than Rebel Queen, just saying!”

“I’ll take your word for it on which nickname sounds cooler.” Josh responded as he shook his head with a chuckle. “But what about the stakes?”

”Winning the match is definitely going to be a feather in my cap, especially after I fell short in three different multi-women matches on PPV, my PPV debut in that Roulette Rules Tables Contenders Match against Alexandra, Luna and Seleana? Finished third, High Stakes Rumble? Finished third after Aleesha eliminated me, and, of course, the Elimination Chamber.” I stated as I ran a hand through my hair. ”Considering that was my last Supercard match I don’t think I need to bring up the fact that I finished third again, I think it’s about damn time that I broke that streak.”

“You have the talent, the experience is just lacking and will come with time.” Josh responded with a nod as he looked around the Chappelle. “And you’ve been wrestling for three years at this point so it’s coming, slowly.”

”Don’t I know it.” I responded with a grin before sighing. ”But as long as I can at least put on a good showing while dealing with Seleana and Crystal? ” I asked hypothetically as I let out a deep breathe. ”Hopefully that’ll be enough.”

“I know it will, don’t worry.” Josh nodded before we continued to walk around.

Sainte Chapelle, Paris, France
Wednesday the 21st of May 2025, 17:00pm

*promo time*

As I stood there in front of one of the big ass stained glass windows with my arms crossed I definitely had a few things on my mind.

”Beautiful, ain’t it? And it can all be yours for the low, low price of…………..” I trailed off because I could’ve sworn I heard thunder in the distance. ”Okay, note to self, don’t joke about selling stained glass windows in a motherfucking Chapelle! Okay, look, jokes aside, welcome to the Sainte Chapelle, and to any French viewers I’m sorry if I butchered that pronunciation!

What can I say? My main languages are sarcasm, English and jokes, notice a distinct lack of French in there?” I asked with a grin as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”But you guys know the drill by now, I initially thought I was going to be booked in a singles match against Seleana after those comments I made back in Denmark and, well, I was kinda right because we were added to the Queen for a Day Ladder Match, joining Seleana’s wife Crystal, Kat Jones, Alexandra Callaway and Julianna DiMaria! Now, we’re into the second week of the Supercard Build so maybe I’ve got some more material than I had during week one?”

Prepare for disappointment.

”Nope! Because half the field are MIA and one of them is Seleana, irony, she is a cruel mistress.” I commented as I shook my head. ”Kat, Crystal, Seleana? It’s like the three patron saints of disappointing Bombshells aint it? And if they aren’t going to say much about the match? I’m not going to say much about the three of them, but that doesn’t mean I’m ignoring them.”

Kat, someone who was a key figure when I was training, oh how the mighty have fallen! Crystal, again, she’s a fucking Hall of Famer! How? Why? I mean she didn’t even make the Blaze of Glory Card, that’s how far her stock has fallen! And Seleana?!” I scoffed as I shook my head. ”Considering everything that happened in the leadup to the show? I expected a lot more from her! At least me, Alexandra and Julianna are putting in the work though!”

Yep.

”Alexandra, a bombshell who I’ve had more matches against since I joined SCW than I care to count! Julianna, they kept teasing potential matches between us, didn’t they Julianna? Well, the time for teasing is over.” Cassie added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”And the time for action will be this Sunday at Into the Void, I’m a high flyer, this is a ladder match, do I even need to say that I’m in my element in this match?

No, I don’t, I’m practically going to be like a kid in a candy store once that bell rings!” I added as I grinned broadly. ”Others see this match as pure chaos, me? I see it as my perfect playground and this Sunday I will show the world, Kat, Seleana, Crystal, Alexandra and Julianna exactly what that fucking means when I win the Queen for a Day Ladder Matcgh and start planning for my episode of Climax Control!”

Oh what plans.

”I’m not gonna say too much right now, not because I’m keeping my cards close to my chest about those ideas, but because I need to come up with those ideas first!” I admitted as I grinned confidently. ”And of course, I need to win the match first as well and my opposition won’t make this easy for me, we have one Hall of Famer, controversial as she may be, in Crystal, we have a former World Bombshell and Bombshell Roulette Champion, even if those reigns happened six years ago, in Seleana, we have a former Bombshell Roulette Champion who did fuck all after her reign ended in Kat, we have Alexandra, another former Bombshell Roulette Champion and the only 2x Champion in the match who held the same title twice and so far nothing else, and Julianna DiMaria, former World Bombshell and Internet Champion!

And then there’s me, the only wrestler in the math who’s yet to win a title in SCW.” I sighed as I shook my head. ”Go ahead, make those “one of these things” jokes, I know you want too! But that just means that I have more to prove than the rest of the field! Will I use my powers to try to rectify that fact by booking myself in a title match in the next cycle? Honestly I don’t know, haven’t planned hat far ahead because I’d rather not shoot myself in the foot before the match begins! But I’m not saying that it won’t happen either!”

It's that simple.

”Do you know the significance of the Sainte Chapelle guys? Because while I had to learn it from me and Josh’s lovely tour guide, it still fits as far as the match I’m promoting is concerned.” I added as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Back in the day this was a Royal Chapel built for kings, and if that’s not a perfect correlation to the Queen for a Day Match? I don’t know what is! And this is a perfect spot for “The Rebel Princess” to stake her claim to the queen’s throne, is it not?”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Not that I’m ditching the Rebel Princess title or anything, it has a much better ring  to it than Rebel Queen and besides, unlike the reigning queen? I don’t plan on making the fact that I won this match my whole personality!” I stated as  I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Because it’s time that the queen abdicated her throne to the Princess! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and potentially pissing off god? Be yourselves, shun the Rebel Queen Title and be a Rebel Princess! And to Kat, Crystal, Seleana, Alexandra and Julianna? Be ready because as far as that crown is concerned? I’m Hungry Like The Wolfe! Why? Because I Just Can't Wait To Be Queen!”

I turned off the camera as the scene fades.

Cassie was robbed off her spot in the Blast from the Past Tournament when Mikah used a rope assisted pin to get the win and advance to the next round but the young Aussie was far from done as SCW arrived in Stockholm, Sweden where she was set to take on another wrestler from the Elimination Chamber Match: Mercedes Vargas!

However not all was well in the Young Justice camp: over the past two weeks Cassie’s partner in crime Harper has been harassed by Victoria Lyons, seemingly having earmarked Harper as one of her next challengers for the Bombshell Roulette Championship but also sowing the seeds of doubt as to whether Josh was showing preference to Cassie or not, can Cassie get the win despite all of this?

Cassie’s hotel room, Oslo, Norway
Monday the 21st of April 2025, 11:00am

Referees make bullshit calls in every other match yet act surprised when they get called out on it, and yes, I’m talking about my last match!

If Drew had done his job properly then I’d be in the semi-finals and Mikah would’ve fucked off to wherever she came from but no, he somehow missed the fact that Mikah was using the ropes for leverage and again, the bosses wonder why wrestlers like me get pissed off at the referee core!

Off course, that’s not the only bit of drama that happened during that show in Iceland!

I wasn’t present for Harper’s initial confrontation with the Lyons, that much is obvious, what wasn’t obvious was that Victoria wants Harper to be one of her next challengers and me and Josh are being dragged into the mess by virtue of Victoria trying to turn Harper against us.

Whatever Victoria’s game is? I don’t know and neither does Harp, but I’ve got my own match to worry about next week as we travel to Stockholm, Sweden for SCW’s third stop of the Viking Era Tour, my opponent? Another wrestler who was in the Elimination Chamber at Blaze of Glory, in fact she was the Bombshell I eliminated right before Andrea eliminated me from the match and went on to lose the title to Kayla, that’s right, it’s Mercedes.

Between that tag team match, the chamber and this match it seems I can’t escape the old bitch, doesn’t it?

”So, we at least know what Victoria was getting at last week thanks to that in ring seg.” I commented to Harper as she turned to me. ”Except there’s definitely more to it than just the Roulette Title.”

”That much is obvious!” Harper grunted before stretching her arms a bit. ”I didn’t even have my eyes set on the title, I was just planning to take this cycle as it came like I usually do, but when Victoria brought up her title last night? I had to jump on the opportunity.” Harper added before leaning back in her chair. ”This Queen’s Gambit thing makes it sound like Christian has more in store for Victoria but I won’t know for certain until Sunday night, speaking of, you have that match against Mercedes to worry about.”

”And considering Victoria mentioned both me and Josh a few times since this whole mess started?” I responded with a frown as I folded my arms. ”What exactly is stopping them from showing up towards the end of the match in a repeat of what happened during your rematch with Kayla?”

”Nothing really, I can try to stop them off course but it’d still be two against one.” Harper responded as she shook her head and I nodded in agreement. ”I guess that gave me more ammo in case I get round three against Kayla, which at this rate will probably happen during the first tour of 2026, but given how vicious Vincent has shown himself to be? Somehow I doubt he cares about SCW’s intergender rules.”

”If nothing else he’d get a hefty fine for it! But in the meantime I have my own match to worry about.” I responded before I stood up and turned to Harper. ”And frankly the only way this could be a perfect storm of bullshit is if Guy with a Cape is the ref.”

”You’d think, or at least hope, he’s too busy with his own Blast from the Past Match with J2H to take part in that but apparently not.” Harper sighed as she shook her head and I nodded in agreement. ”So, plans for the Mercedes match?”

”Go out there, show the world why Mercedes should be in a retirement home and not championship matches, win and deal with any crap from Victoria as it comes.” I responded with a shrug and Harper frowned. ”What do you expect me to say Harp? Victoria is keeping her cards close to her chest as far as her motivation for this whole thing goes and for all we know? It could extend past Into the Void, I know Josh will have something to say about it after he confronted the Lyons after last night’s main event but he’s my manager too and this week? My match needs to be his main priority.”

”I get that, but he’ll also need to have my back in case the Lyons try anything on Sunday.” Harper responded before letting out a deep breath. ”Gonna be a busy weekend for Josh, ain’t it?”

”True that, and at least there aren’t any volcanos in Sweden for me to jump down.” I responded with a grin and Harper laughed a bit before shaking her head, before long we were packing up and getting ready to leave Norway for Sweden and the next part of the tour but one thing was for certain.

The next few weeks, at most, were gonna get messy.

Wildlife Safari, Stockholm, Sweden
Wednesday the 23rd of April 2025, 14:00pm

I’m a simple girl who loves food and animals, so when Josh proposed this trip to me and Harp? Well, how could I refuse?

Granted, we’re not going to see stuff like lions or alligators in the Swedish Countryside (at least I fucking hope not) getting to see boars, moose and dear this close was bound to be cool, as cool as going in a volcano? I doubt it, that’s going to take a lot to top, especially since I cut my Blast from the Past promo from that volcano.

But I’m not saying that I won’t try to find a spot with some wildlife in the background for my promo either, why? Same reason as why I did the volcano promo in the first place, how often am I going to get a chance to do that?

And yes, just to remind you guys, these are officially sanctioned tours I’m talking about, Josh wasn’t taking any chances.

“Ahh, here we are.” The guide, a local guy called Sven, said as he pointed us towards some moose that were grazing nearby. Harper started taking some pictures of the animals on her phone as did I. “This moose heard has been active in the area for some time now.”

”So how are moose as wild creatures?” I asked Sven after taking a couple of more pictures. ”Are they aggressive or not too bad?”

“Depends, if your threatening their young then moose can get aggressive and bull moose in particular can be territorial, it’s best to give the animals space.” Sven explained and we nodded as we got the idea. “Why do you ask Cassie?”

”I was hoping to film a promo with some wildlife in the background, not really interacting with them but just as a cool background feature.” I explained to Sven who nodded as he got the idea. ”After I filmed that promo in a volcano over in Iceland? I feel like living on the edge.”

“Ahh I see, wait, what?!”  Sven did a dozen double takes after hearing that last part but it was at that point that Josh chimed in.

“It was an official tour, with a guide and everything.” Josh explained and Sven nodded as he followed along. “We went inside a long dormant volcano, only one inactive enough to allow for such tours.”

”Besides, if I went in an active volcano I wouldn’t be alive, would I?” I chimed in and Harper shook her head in disbelief that I had to say that. ”And even if Josh wanted me dead, there’s a lot of easier reasons than chucking me in an active volcano.”

“I suppose you have a point there.” Sven commented with a nervous laugh before we resumed hiking. “Let’s get to the campfire meal, then we’ll return to this spot for your promo Cassie.”

”Sounds good.” I responded with a nod before we continued up the trail, as we did though Josh turned to me. ”What?”

“Are you going to bring up the volcano promo whenever I take you out on a trip for the remainder of this tour?” Josh asked with a raised eyebrow and I grinned sheepishly. “Just asking Cass.”

”It’s like I said at the time, how often is an opportunity like that going to come around?” I asked with a shrug and Josh considered my answer. ”Besides, this is my first full overseas tour with SCW since I made my debut, I may as well milk it for whatever it’s worth.”

“I suppose so, just try to avoid giving tour guides heart attacks.” Josh teased me and I shook my head with a laugh before we continued up the trail.

Stockholm Safari, Stockholm, Sweden
Wednesday the 23rd of April 2025, 15:30pm

*promo time*

I was back in front of the moose heard and they were all just chilling and not paying much attention to me, granted I was a safe distance away from them but still.

”From the Bombshell who gave you a promo from inside a dormant volcano comes…………..a promo in front of a heard of grazing moose.” I said as Harper (my camerawoman for the promo) showed the moose behind me. ”Okay look, Sweden doesn’t exactly have any animals as dangerous as a volcano and I’m sure the people of Sweden are thankful for that fact, but if I’m going to be a daredevil adventurer style bombshell on these tours? I need to find something to fill that itch!

But on that subject? Let’s talk about my last match, and how I got robbed by an old bitch and a referee who needs Lasik eye surgery like yesterday!” I commented with an annoyed grunt as I folded my arms. ”That match was highway robbery, plain and fucking simple! But at least this week I get to take out my frustration on a Bombshell who’s been around nearly as long as Mikah, hey thee Mercedes, been a hot minute since we last shared a ring huh?”

Yep.

”First there was that tag match against Andrea and Kayla which, despite Mercedes’s claims to the contrary, she cost us, then there was the Elimination Chamber Match that the tag match was hyping, remind me, how did that end for you Mercedes?” I asked hypothetically as I looked at my nails playfully. ”Oh yeah! I eliminated you with the Wolfe Hunt after Andrea and Kayla had already hit their finishers on you! Now granted, I didn’t last much longer but you try being one of the first wrestlers in the match going the distance!

And no. the fact that I’m saying this to another wrestler from the Bombshell Elimination Chamber Match at Blaze of Glory isn’t lost on me, but guess what? The point still stands!” I added before smirking at the camera. ”I suppose after those two encounters it was only a matter of time before we had our first singles match Mercedes but as much as I hate to repeat what I said in the leadup to Blaze of Glory? You’re still a spent force.”

Yep.

”This is well trodden land by this point Mercedes but the Bombshell who once dominated the division is long gone. Replaced by a shell of your former self.” I motioned to one of the moose. ”Hell those things have a better chance at winning a title at this point than you do, sorry but it’s a simple fact! Actually? I’m not sorry because respecting your elders is moose shit and respect is earned.

Which is appropriate considering your recent record can be compared to those moose droppings over there!” I added as I pointed to the field in general not expecting Harp to actually zoom in on moose crap, understandably? She didn’t. ”How many times have you gotten opportunities like the Elimination Chamber Match and squandered them? Bonus points if they were just given to you at random! Too many to count? Thanks for making my point for me!”

You know it.

”My own record when it comes to titles in SCW hasn’t been great but I at least put in a lot more effort into my title matches than you’ve done in years!” I insisted as I folded my arms. ”In fact, here’s a neat little tibbit I learned about moose during this little trip, they live for about fifteen to twenty five years, which means at least one of those moose has lived a whole lifespan since the last time you were relevant in the division Mercedes.

The truth hurts, doesn’t it?” I asked with a teasing wink as one of the moose momentarily glances in my direction before resuming it’s grazing. ”And let’s not try to predict the future that way because talking about you in general is headache inducing Mercedes! But in the end? The only thing that’ll hurt more than the truth, and possibly being knocked down and stomped on by those things, is the fact that a girl who only got old enough to drink last year, at least in the us, is about to kick your ass for the second match in a row!”

It’s that simple.

”Not gonna lie, I kinda wish there was a donkey back there just so I could make an ass pun! Oh well, what can you do? At least it’d be a better donkey than the new Shrek trailer!” I commented before shaking my head. ”But yeah, Mercedes? I need to win this match after I was just robbed in my Blast from the Past debut! And while your continued presence on the roster provides a real time Blast from the Past?

How long until people realize just how sad and pathetic you’ve become in recent years Mercedes?” I asked bluntly as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”The only bombshell in the same standing as you is Bea Barnhart! Do you even realize how low on the totem pole that makes you? Your one rung above the newcomers who have never wrestled here before, yeah, it’s that bad!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Talk about a fall from grace, am I right?” I asked with a grin as I paced around for a bit. ”Of course I’m right! Just because I’m one of the youngest members of the Bombshell Roster doesn’t mean I can perceive shit and this Sunday I’ll show you why any one of those moose would make for a better opponent than you Mercedes!

I am off course joking, those things are fucking massive and I’m pretty sure attempting to hit them with a Double Underhook DDT, AKA my finisher the Wolfe Hunt, will end in tears and a hospital visit if I’m lucky!” I added as I shook my head. ”And it would still be a better match than what I can drag out of Mercedes! To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and ancient bombshells with overinflated egos? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And Mercedes! Get your ancient ass ready because I’m Hungry Like the Wolfe!”

Harper stopped recording as the scene fades.

The week of Blaze of Glory XII was finally here and with it came the biggest match of Cassie’s career to date! Not only was it the Main Event but Cassie was facing Kayla Richards, Candy, Necra Octavian Kaine, Mercedes Vargas, Candy and the World Bombshell Champion Andrea Hernandez for the World Bombshell Championship in the Elimination Chamber Match! Can Cassie shock the world and win the title?

Backstage at Climax Control 416, San Diego, California
Sunday the 16th of February 2025, 18:00pm

It’s been over a month since I qualified for the Elimination Chamber Match by beating Alexandra and to be honest? It still doesn’t feel real.

I mean, yeah, I had help from Victoria Lyons as she wasn’t exactly thrilled at being ignored in favour of what was (at the time) an unknown prize and yeah, we would later learn that the match would be for the World Bombshell Title and the Main Event of Blaze of Glory but at that point? I just wanted to get a win under my belt, I have said that I wasn’t happy with how I won the qualifier match and that is the truth, I would’ve preferred a clean win.

But in the end? I got the win, and after a giant clusterfuck of a qualification process, I’m in a World Bombshell Title Match against five Bombshells who have all held titles in the past, including the reigning and defending champ.

No pressure right?

”Holy shit! I did it!” I muttered to myself after returning to the backstage area following the qualifier, at that point I wasn’t even thinking about the fact that Victoria had cost Alexandra the match, the only thing that mattered was that I had stamped my ticket to Blaze of Glory, all without Josh being at ringside for the match because he was managing Jessie at Wrestleleague on the same night that weekend. ”And all without Josh at ringside!”

”Congrats Cass, you did it!” Harper congratulated me as she walked up to me with a big grin on her face before we shared a big hug. ”Who knows? Maybe I’ll get a qualifier next week?”

”And endure the possibility of the High Stakes Rumble part two? I think I’ll pass.” I responded as I shook my head, ironically in hindsight? Harper getting a qualifier match probably would’ve made the whole process go a lot smoother, at the very least Christian wouldn’t have been scrambling to find replacements for two weeks in a row. ”I mean yeah, eliminating you would be a lot more involved than just throwing you over the top rope but my point still stands.”

”Yeah, I guess you’re right.” Harper nodded in agreement as she folded her arms, off course she would later earn herself a shot at Bella and the Bombshell Internet Title on he same show but that wasn’t until the end of the cycle. ”So, aside from me, who else would you not want to see qualify in the coming weeks?”

”I’m not even sure if Tempest still wrestles for the company so she’s out, Prudence would just be a pain to deal with and definitely not Bea.” I responded after thinking for a minute and in hindsight? Maybe I should start playing the state lottery considering none of them qualified, hell only Prudence got a match and she lost to a pregnant Bobbie! ”As for who I want to face? That’s a great question, I can’t shake the feeling that the World Bombshell Title will be involved somehow but if Andrea is added, does Kayla join her?”

”That would fill in the other two slots, but that still leaves two other slots to fill.” Harper nodded in agreement as she thought for a moment. ”I know Necra returned tonight but would they give her a qualifier so soon?”

”She is a Hall of Famer and former champ from back in the day, and let’s face it they didn’t waste any time in throwing me into the title picture after I showed up at Summer XXXTreme.” I responded with a nod as I thought over the roster. ”Think I’ll just wait to see how the rest of the qualifiers play out, I mean, how chaotic can it be?”

”I think you just jinxed the rest of the qualifiers.” Harper joked and yeah, hindsight? Maybe I did, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that. ”At least we know Josh will be proud of you when he gets back from managing Jessie at Wrestleleague!”

”Yeah, proud and ready to make me train my ass off in the coming weeks!” I responded with a grin and Harper nodded in agreement. ”Shall we celebrate with something to eat in catering?”

”Sounds like a plan.” Harper responded with a grin before we walked off.

Look, the fact that me and Mercedes ultimately ended up being the only participants in the women’s chamber match that earned their spot through qualifying matches may have made that whole conversation hilarious in hindsight but the match, after several weeks of scrambling, was set! Me, Mercedes, Kayla, Andrea, Necra and Candy! World Bombshell Title on the line! And yeah, after the weeks ticked on I couldn’t help but feel like I was in over my head but I wasn’t going to drop out of a chance of a lifetime.

And who knows? Maybe I’ll walk out of Blaze of Glory the World Bombshell Champion?

In case you haven’t noticed? The past month has been crazy as fuck! Basically everything that happened after my controversial win over Alexandra at Climax Control 416 has felt like a whirlwind to say the least and now I’m gearing up for the biggest challenge of my career.

Again, heading into the match with Alexandra, I wasn’t thinking about the chamber of whatever was at stake, I just wanted to secure myself a win! And while the result was tainted I’m still in the chamber match and I’m in position to possibly win the World Bombshell Championship! Just gotta get past Candy, Necra, Mercedes, Andrea and Kayla first! While the task is daunting the fact is that I’ve got just as good a chance as anyone else in the match.

Okay granted, I’m pretty sure some heads will explode if Mercedes is the last Bombshell left standing but still!

“Cass, I know the match on Sunday is intimidating but you have to stay focussed.” Josh instructed me after I took a break from training and I nodded. “This is the biggest match of your career, you have fought hard to get here and I know you’ll do well.”

”It’s not that I don’t think I’ll do well in the chamber.” I responded as I shook my head and Josh nodded. ”It’s just that the reality of the situation is setting in, I’ve got a one in six chance of becoming a World Champ this Sunday, how many other women my age can say that?”

“True, but diamonds are made through pressure.” Josh assured me and I grinned in response. “The bosses booked that match between you and Alexandra because they thought Alexandra would be a shoe in for the title, you proved them wrong.”

”And now’s my chance to prove everyone betting against me in this match wrong?” I asked before letting out a deep breath, thinking about an even that happened two years ago that haunted me. ”Do you remember the last time I was on Blaze of Glory?”

“Last time?” Josh asked with a confused look on his face and I nodded. “I thought you signed with SCW last Summer?”

”I did, but for a while, back when Krystal was on the Bombshell Roster? I basically acted as a hanger on for her, accompanying her to shows and all that.” I explained before letting out a deep breath. ”Then came Blaze of Glory X two years ago, the night Krystal joined the Saviours and attacked me just because I wanted some answers from her.”

“Right, I remember now, Krystal’s allegiance with The Saviors was ultimately short lived but her actions that night had ripple effects throughout the rest of the year.” Josh nodded as he got the idea before he frowned. “You never got over that attack, did you?”

”Hard to get over someone you looked up to and helped you through training turning her back on you like that.” I sighed before I let out a deep breath, ”Me and Krystal are on much better terms these days, she even called me when I was setting up the Home Gym last week to wish me luck in the chamber match, but it’s still a bad memory that I associate with the event that’s hosting the biggest match of my life.”

“Look, Cass, I’m no professional but you can’t let that haunt you forever.” Josh assured me and I nodded after letting out a deep breath. “Krystal was going through a lot during that time but she’s moved on, so can you.”

”Do I even need to point out what Krystal went through to move on? And hell, it was a while before I could even forgive her.” I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair. ”Who knows? Maybe I can use the chamber as some kind of aggressive therapy? If nothing else it’ll cost a hell of a lot less than going to see a therapist!”

“Is that including medical bills or not?” Josh asked dryly and I just shook my head. “And remember, therapy or not, you’re still fighting for the biggest prize in the Bombshell division.”

”Don’t I know it!” I responded before I resumed training.

*promo time*

As I got ready to cut my second promo for the Elimination Chamber Match I had quite a bit on my mind.

”You know, I was nervous as fuck during week one, just think about it for a second: most of my opponents have years of in ring experience over me on top of the title situations that I brought up during week one.” I stated as my five opponents appeared on the green screen behind me. ”But as we enter week two? A flood of memories came flashing back, and none of them good!

Need I remind you of what happened two years ago at Blaze of Glory?” The green screen showed Krystal’s attack on me at Blaze of Glory X, an even that set the tone for the rest of the year in more ways than one. ”Time heals all wounds or so they say, me and Krystal have since made amends but for the past two years? This incident has haunted me! And given how crazy fucking expensive therapy bills are? I’m going with an alternate treatment: taking it out on my opponents on root to HOPEFULLY winning the World Bombshell Title!”

And on that note?

”And I’m sure you’re not thrilled at being reminded of Krystal’s existence Andrea, the animosity between you and her is practically legendary!” I added as the green screen showed Andrea’s face. ”Unfortunately I felt that it was inevitable that I bring her up during the lead up to the match, and yeah, I could resolve all this by seeing a therapist about my issues, but why waste money like that?

After all, seeing a therapist won’t potentially see me winning the biggest prize in the Bombshell Division by the end of the night!” I added as I smirked a bit. ”I may have had a defeatist attitude during week one but with tis motivating me now? I feel like I can take on the world! Or at least take the World Bombshell Title!”

Speaking off!

”You know, I’ll be the first to admit that “Kayla having a grudging respect for me after wrestling me once” wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card, especially since the first match was a preview for the Chamber Match itself!” I scoffed as Kayla’s face appeared on the green screen behind me. ”Life can be funny like that sometimes huh? Here’s another example for you Kayla: here you are, entering the chamber wanting to take back “your” title as if the World Bombshell Championship was named after you or something!

Granted they may as well rename the Mixed Tag Team Titles so that they are named after you and Finn’s team that only you two can pronounce the last name off but I digress!” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”But back to my point: wouldn’t it be funny if, after all your bluster? Lil old me was the one who eliminated you from the match Kayla? Your ego will tell you otherwise but it can happen and before you know it? You’ll be back to square one!”

And now for the others.

”And speaking of egomaniacs: I’m going from one who at least has credibility to the woman who’s easily the most delusional wrestler in this match!” I added as Mercedes’s face appeared on the screen behind me. ”Oh Mercedes, no matter how many times you drop the ball, no matter how many times you get beaten, especially in title matches, you get up make an excuse and come back for another round, the blackmail you have on the bosses must be something fierce!

But the truth is Mercy? Father time is coming for your ancient ass!” I stated with a smirk as I paced around a bit. ”And where will you go after you lose this one? Who knows and frankly? Who cares, this is my time to shine!”

And now for someone from the same era.

”As for you Necra? What’s there to say? You’re like Mercedes except you got out while you were still ahead and now you’re back.” I stated as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”I’ll admit, I don’t have as much to say about the last two opponents in the match as I do about Kayla, Andrea or Mercedes but for two different reasons, in your case?

It’s the fact that you are before my time.” I admitted honestly with a shrug. ”I know or what you’ve accomplished in SCW don’t get me wrong but I still have over a decade of wrestling to catch up, based on what I’ve seen so far? I am looking forward to going up against you but you are someone who’s back catalogue I need to catch up on.”

And finally?

”As for you Candy? You didn’t exactly have much to say in general during week one, did you?” I asked hypothetically as Candy’s face appeared on the screen behind me. ”Which is kinda surprising when you remember how you were added to the match! At least Necra made her voice heard but you? Nope, nada, nein, not a single peep.

And as a fellow PWS: Apex Alumni? I’m disappointed.” I admitted with a shrug before flipping some hair over my shoulder. ”Hopefully you prove me wrong during week two but until then? I look forward to going up against you in this match.”

It’s that simple.

”Going into this match I thought I was in for a Chamber of Horrors, but now? I’ve realized one thing: diamonds are made through pressure and who in this match has more pressure on her shoulders than me?” I asked hypothetically as I folded my arms. ”No one! That’s who! Everyone with an opinion on this match is expecting either Andrea to retain, Kaula to win back the title or hell, either Mercedes, Necra or Candy to shock everyone.

But me? No one expects the small, petite twenty one year old from down under to walk out the champion.” I added before grinning broadly. ”Which will make my win next Sunday all the more shocking!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”This is now about more than just a title match to me, it’s about exorcising old demons attached to Blaze of Glory as a whole! And now, two years after someone I looked up to threatened to potentially end my wrestling career?” I shook my head as I thought back to that fateful night. ”I enter the chamber against Kayla, Necra, Candy, Mercedes and, of course, the World Bombshell Champion Andrea as a woman on a mission! I was a nineteen year old girl and barely a year out of wrestling school when Krystal attacked me, and now, two years later?

I return as a twenty one year old woman, ready to shock the world in the main event of this year’s edition of that very show!” I added as my opponents’ faces appeared on screen again. ”To all my fans? Don’t let life’s obstacles get you down because I let that incident haunt me for two fucking years! But more importantly? In a world of fake queens and therapy through violence? Be yourselves and be a rebel princess! And as for Andrea, Kayla, Mercedes, Candy and Necra? Be ready because I’m Hungry Like The Wolfe!”

I turned off the camera as the scene fades.

While the result was controversial thanks to the interference by Bombshell Roulette Champion Victoria Lyons? The results were in the history books: Cassie had defeated Alexandra Callaway to earn her spot in the Elimination Chamber Match at Blaze of Glory! And over the next few weeks the slots would be filled: Mercedes Vargas won the very first qualifier over Crystal Zdunich, Bobbie Dahl defeated Prudence Pierce to qualify, Kayla Richards and Andrea Hernandez were added to the fray after it was made a World Bombshell Championship Match and Candy was added after she won her return match over Ms. Manners.

However, Bobbie subsequently pulled out of the match when it was revealed that she was pregnant meaning that there was still another slot in the match to be filled! And to make things interesting? The bosses had booked a Strange Bedfellows Tag Team Match for the penultimate Climax Control of the cycle, in one corner? The World Bombshell Champion Andrea Hernandez and former World Bombshell Champion and Mixed Tag Team Champion Kayla Richards, in the other? Cassie and 2x Hall of Famer and former champion Mercedes Vargas! Can Cassie score the upset?

If you had told me, following my loss to Crystal at Inception VI, that I’d follow that up by challenging for the World Bombshell Championship at Blaze of Glory? I’d probably call you insane.

But that’s how it worked out three weeks ago at the first Climax Control of the Blaze of Glory Cycle: my match with Alexandra was one of two qualifiers being held that night (the first being Mercedes vs. Crystal in the opener) for the Bombshell Elimination Chamber Match! At the time no one knew what the prize for the winner was, the only thing that was announced at Inception was the fact that Blaze of Glory was going to host SCW’s first Elimination Chamber matches.

Could’ve sworn they had done such matches back in 2019 but I digress!

But yeah, heading into my latest match with Alexandra I wasn’t feeling that great about my chances considering that before that match I had yet to beat her,, whether it was in singles, multiperson, you get the idea! Hell I was almost wishing that I had been facing Mercedes instead because at least she was a fresh opponent.

And now to address the elephant in the room: yeah, Victoria Lyons cost Alexandra the match and I booked my ticket to the Elimination Chamber that night, ironically joining Mercedes as the first two women to qualify! Was I happy about how it went down? No, I would’ve preferred earning my spot fairly and I made that clear to Alexandra on Twitter later that night, at the end of the day a win’s a win, but the other qualifiers wouldn’t be so cut and dry.

The third qualifying match was supposed to be between Seleana Zdunich and Song and take place the following week, I say supposed too because both women had travel issues and the match got cancelled! Fast forward a week and a new qualifying match was announced: Bobbie Dahl vs. Prudence Pierce, Bobbie went on to win that match handily so surely, with Candy being announced as the latest entrant following her win over Ms. Manners in last night’s opener, the match was set in stone, right?

Surprise! Bobbie wrestled Prudence while pregnant and now she’s out of the match too! Though given how far Prudence has fallen from grace since her Blast from the Past win I shouldn’t be too surprised that she got her ass kicked by a pregnant woman!

Apparently there’s going to be an announcement this week but in the meantime, do you wanna know what me, Mercedes, Candy and whoever they pick as Bobbie’s replacement is will be fighting for? Here’s a hint, I mentioned it at the beginning! That’s right, it’s the World Bombshell Championship and the first two slots are being taken up by the champ Andrea Hernandez and the former champ Kayla Richards!

In the words on Ron Burgendy: Boy, That Escalated Quickly!

And speaking of this week: the bosses in their infinite wisdom have decided to create a bit of hype for the matches by booking two Strange Bedfellows Tag Team Matches featuring wrestlers from both chamber matches! In one corner: Kayla and Andrea, in the other corner: me and Mercedes.

Yeah, I’m not thrilled about this! honestly I would’ve taken Candy as a partner any day of the week!

”How is it that a cycle where I’ve only wrestled twice is shaping up to be one of the wildest of my SCW Career to date?!” I grunted to myself as my dog Sandy looked up at me from her laying position. ”Qualifying for a World Bombshell Title Match at my first Blaze of Glory, all the trouble the bosses have had finding wrestlers to fill in the last two slots after Song and Seleana’s travel issues and Bobbie’s pregnancy announcement? Almost makes me envy the guys, at least their match doesn’t have this much drama!”

“And you have been wondering when you were going to wrestle a Barnhart to be fair.” Josh pointed out as he entered the room and I glanced over at him, Josh had arrived about an hour ago to strategize for the elimination chamber match, at least that was the plan before I learned through Mercedes’s tweet that Bobbie was no longer in the match due to her pregnancy. “That said any strategy we were going to discuss was thrown out the window by Bobbie’s pregnancy announcement.”

”Leave it to me to go get a snack immediately after I filmed by bit for the aftermath of Bobbie’s match against Prudence.” I commented as I shook my head and Josh nodded in agreement. ”If I had known the catering line was that long I would’ve stuck around a bit longer! And look, I’m happy for Bobbie and all but this makes me glad that I’m both single AND gay!”

“True, less chance of a pregnancy derailing your career for most of the year that way.” Josh nodded in agreement as Sandy stood up and joined me on the couch. “Or the entire year depending on what month you get pregnant in.”

”Yeah, Bobbie got pregnant in March, that should mean that she’ll give birth around December, factor in recovery time which Harp told me was a big factor as to why Jessie didn’t return to wrestling for about a month after she gave birth to April.” I did the math in my head quickly before leaning my head back. ”We probably won’t see Bobbie on another SCW show until next January at the latest, of course I’m more focussed on that last slot in the chamber and who exactly will fill it now.”

“Candy’s already been confirmed as a participant so she won’t be announced, there’s also newcomers like Aaron Asphyxia and Lillith Locke that could get a sink or swim moment.” Josh reasoned and I nodded in agreement. “Or they add Harper to the match and it becomes the High Staks Rumble 2.0.”

”Ugh, on one hand, that whole saga led to me getting my first title match in SCW, on the other hand? That’s a headache that I’m in no hurry to relive!” I groaned as I thought back to the tail end of 2024/start of 2025 and my last tag match. ”And don’t even get me started on that tag match between Young Justice and Aleesha and Bella! And of course, that brings me back to my latest tag team match, me and Mercedes vs. Kayla and Andrea.” I sighed in frustration before I started stroking the Golden Lab that was sitting next to me. ”AKA one of the few instances where I’d rather team with my dog than another wrestler!”

“I know Mercedes’s history with Hero Academy is rocky, especially factoring in the fact that I had started managing Harper when she had that match against Mercedes at December 2 Dismember.” Josh nodded in acknowledgement and I let out a frustrated sigh. “But you’re teaming against the current World Bombshell Champion and the former champion, are you sure you can’t put your differences aside?”

”Have you seen what that bitch has tweeted?!” I asked pointedly before grabbing my phone, finding the tweet it question and showing it to Josh. ”She’s talking about carrying the team because I’m the youngest and least experienced wrestler inn the chamber match! As if she hasn’t been stinking up SCW cards for years and choking whenever she does get a title opportunity!”

“I’ll agree that this isn’t a great start.” Josh nodded in agreement as he read Mercedes’s tweet and my reply. “But if you enter this match divided Kayla and Andrea will take advantage of that! Don’t forget, Kayla held the Mixed Tag Team Championship with Finn for almost an entire year before Miles ended their first reign and Andrea has been around a lot longer than you.”

”They don’t have to deal with an over the hill 2x Hall of Famer with delusions of grandeur!” I countered as I rolled my eyes. ”Not to mention Mercy’s been coaxing on that past success for years at this point! Granted, Krystal was just as guilty of this but at least she tried put in an effort to make sure that her title reign wasn’t her only enduring legacy, and at this point Victoria’s on the fast track to beating her record!”

“Have you talked to Krystal about that?” Josh asked and I shook my head. “Just haven’t had time?”

”She brought it up once, when I showed up to last year’s Summer XXXTreme Cruise with a new SCW Contract in my hand.” I explained as I thought back to that weekend with a sigh. ”All she said was that she had made peace with the fact that someone was bound to break her record at some point long ago, whether she thought it’d happen so soon after her SCW Contract expired is another matter.”

“Victoria still has several more months before she gets to that point and for all we know Alexandra could end her reign at Blaze of Glory like she did to Bobbie during last year's Blast from the Past Tournament.” Josh reminded me and I nodded n agreement. “And if she does then you do have a claim to a title shot since you beat her to earn your spot in the Chamber match.”

”Assuming of course I don’t win the World Bombshell Championship.” I responded as I shook my head. ”I know the odds are against me when you look at who else is in the match but stranger things have happened in this sport.”

“Of course, and I’ll be there to help you reach that goal.” Josh nodded in response to my statement before the conversation drifted off.

Speed Dating Service, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 6th of March 2025, 13:00pm

On one hand I wanted a break from training and to get back on the dating scene after the breakup with Zoey and Becky, on the other hand? Well, this has been a bust.

It was hard enough finding a speed dating service that catered to lesbians like me but all the women I’ve talked too have either been much older or didn’t share my interests, so yeah, not a great start.

”Okay, we both like dogs, am into fitness.” I commented as I glanced at the attractive woman opposite me. ”What are your thoughts on metal? I love the stuff.”

“Ugh! That’s Satan’s music!” She responded and yeah, that was another dud. “But I can save you by throwing you into the arms of our lord and………..”

”Yeah, no, this ain’t gonna work.” I interrupted her as I shook my head and she stopped dead in her tracks, followed by an awkward silence as we waited for the three minutes to expire. ”Seriously, how can you be gay and claim to be Christian after everything conservative Christians have done to screw over gay people?” I muttered to myself after she moved on, a quick glance around confirmed that she was the last chance for the day. ”Should’ve stuck to online dating.”

Once the speed dating meeting had concluded I met Josh at his car alone. “Judging by your body language? That didn’t go well.” Josh commented as I walked up to him and I nodded.

”I appreciate you finding this service for me but it was a dud.” I sighed as I folded my arms. ”Had the best shot with the last woman because she volunteers at a animal shelter, loves dogs and was into fitness, but when I brought up metal it was game over because she described it as Satan’s Music.”

“That’s rough but they’ll be other opportunities.” Josh assured me before I got into his car and he joined me. “At least for now you can focus on the tag match.”

”True, and with my opposition and my partner? I need all the help I can get.” I sighed as I leaned my heads back against the headrest. ”If nothing else this was a welcome distraction from being stuck with an over the hill tag partner but still.”

“I know the partnership with Mercedes isn’t ideal to say the least, but if you want to bit Kayla and Andrea? You need to put up with it.” Josh responded with a nod of understanding before he started to drive off. “For now let’s get back to the gym so you can train.”

”Great idea.” I nodded in agreement before Josh drove off.

Cassie’s Promo Room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 6th of March 2025, 21:00pm

*promo time*

Knowing that the tag match could very well set the tone for the Elimination Chamber Match I was entering this with a lot on my mind.

”You ever look at a match and wonder “what did I do to piss off Christian?”, well, those were my exact thoughts when I saw this Strange Bedfellows Tag Team Match!” I stated as the green screen behind me showed me, Mercedes, Kayla and Andrea. ”Look, I get he’s trying to create some more hype for this match and considering the clusterfuck the qualification process has been since me and Mercedes’s matches during week one I’m pretty sure Christian is close to drowning his sorrows in alcohol at this point but still, pairing me with Mercedes?

I know the match happened two years ago, but do you remember the last time Mercedes shared a ring with a Hero Academy graduate?” I asked before the match graphic for Harper’s match against Mercedes at the last December 2 Dismember appeared on the screen behind me. ”Yeah, it wasn’t pretty and you expect us to get along, never mind go up against the current World Bombshell Champion and the former World Bombshell Champion?”

Seriously!

”And because Mercedes is about as delusional as they get, she’s talking about carrying the team because I’m the youngest and least experienced wrestler in this match by a country mile!” I groaned as I rolled my eyes. ”The same Mercedes who hasn’t held a singles title in years? The same Mercedes who’s the poster girl for the perpetual challengers club? The same Mercedes who is treated as a joke by everyone BUT the bosses.

I swear, I’d be laughing if that idea didn’t piss me off to hell and back!” I added as I shook my head. ”And yeah, I haven’t held a singles title period, in fact unless one of the new girls gets added to this thing I might well be the only Bombshell in the Chamber without a title reign to her name, but I’ve put in a hell of a lot more effort in the past few months than Mercedes has in years!”

As for my opponents?

”But since this is a tag match I can’t really talk about it without bringing up the opposing team, one who’s had an iron grip on the mixed tag titles and another who’s had an iron grip on the Bombshell Internet Championship! I’d almost be tempted to call this team The Iron Hand!” I stated as Kayla and Andrea’s pictures appeared on the screen behind me. ”As for what I think of them? Well, Andrea’s turned over a new leaf since she was last in SCW and Kayla is the biggest bitch on the roster who’s an active wrestler.

Sorry Brooke Shields but managers don’t count!” I added as I shook my head. ”And no, I don’t mean the actress! But as far as wrestling is concerned? Andrea and Kayla are two of the best on the roster which again leads me to ask just what did I do to piss off Christian so badly that I got stuck with Mercedes as  my partner? Did Christian bet all his money on Alexandra beating me in my qualifying match and doesn’t want to punish Victoria for some reason?”

It’s that simple.

”Whatever the reason is, one thing is for sure: in both this match AND the Elimination Chamber, name of last participant notwithstanding, I’m the Odd One Out! I’m the only one in both matches, again barring the last participant, who hasn’t held a title in SCW and it hasn’t been for lack of trying either!” I added as I rolled my eyes. ”But does that mean I’m backing down from my opponents? Both in this tag match and in the chamber?

HELL NO!” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”No one expected me to win the Chamber Qualifier against Alexandra but here I am, who’s to say that I can’t repeat history at Blaze of Glory?”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”But we’re not talking about the Chamber Match just yet, we still have this Strange Bedfellows Tag Team Match and the fact that I’m stuck with Mercedes Vargas as my partner.” I added as I set out a deep breath. ”And look, Mercedes can talk all she wants about carrying this team to victory, if she wants to live in her deluded world of fantasy? Let her!

But I’m living in reality and if anyone’s carrying this team to a shock win? It’s going to be me!” I added as I threw up the devil horns. ”And let’s be real. The only contribution Mercedes will make towards the end is if and when she costs us the match, probably after I got tired of her pompous ass! Too all my fans? In a world of fake queens and Argentinian wrestlers who’s ego far outweighs their talent and relevancy? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! But to Andrea and Kayla? Be ready because I’m hungry like the wolfe!”

I turned off the camera as the scene fades.

It was the week of the first Supercard of the year and Cassie’s match against Crystal Zdunich was at the forefront of her mind, especially after the controversial loss she and Harper suffered at the hands of Aleesha and Bella, can Cassie get the win?

Josh’s Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 29th of January 2025, 13:00pm

So, now that I’m officially moved back into Las Vegas and don’t have to take an eight hour drive just to train at either Hero Academy or Josh’s gym, what have I been up too?

Training off course.

I missed most of the first week of training because I was getting things set up for the move back to Vegas so once I got settled into my new home here in Vegas I started pushing myself even harder to make up for that fact, look, Supercard matches are hard enough to prepare for normally but when you’re going one on one with a Hall of Famer for the first time ever? The pressure increases tenfold.

Even if said Hall of Famer is easily the most controversial member of the Hall of Fame this side of Jessie Salco! Hell, Crystal was THE controversial Hall of Famer before Jessie was inducted as part of the Class of 2022 and at least Jessie has made it clear that she regrets some of the more controversial aspects of her wrestling career!

Crystal on the other hand? Well that’s a different story, or at least a more complicated story.

For several years it was never really clear which version of Crystal we were going to get, the nice friendly Crystal or the mean bitchy Crystal! The last time we saw her go full bitch mode was back in 2022 (appropriately enough) starting when she ended Chole Benton’s career as a wrestler at that year’s Summer XXXTreme and seemingly ended when she lost out on Most Hated to Masque.

She says she’s changed but from what I’ve heard, not many people believe that but me? Outside of that tag match after High Stakes and (off course) the High Stakes Rumble itself I haven’t really interacted with Crystal that much, will that change over the course of the next cycle?

Who fucking knows? I just want to put the bullshit with Aleesha behind me!

“You’re doing great Cass, but I’m worried.” Josh called out to me after I took a break and I turned to him. “I know you’ve been pushing yourself hard since the move but if you push yourself too hard you’ll injure yourself much like Aleesha did during her first year with SCW.”

”Yeah, allegedly.” I muttered under my breath as I rolled my eyes. ”I can’t help it if the move took up most of my training time last week, never mind the fact that I would’ve had to travel eight hours just to get my training done.”

“Those days are over, remember that.” Josh reminded me and I nodded in response to his statement. “And maybe we should’ve scheduled the move for the Christmas break instead.”

”I was thinking that during the week admittedly.” I nodded in agreement as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”But all that aside? I need to train hard for my match against Crystal.”

“I know and you have been working hard.” Josh nodded in response before I started pulling on the ring ropes to warm up for my next round of training. “Between here and Hero Academy? You have been working your butt off since the move, but if you injure yourself?”

”It’ll be all for nothing, I know the risks Josh.” I responded as I shook my head and Josh frowned. ”But say what you will about Crystal’s antics over the years? She’s still a Hall of Famer for a reason, even if most of  the roster doesn’t really take her seriously.”

“I can’t speak for either the men or other women on SCW’s roster, but she is a hell of a talent.” Josh responded as he leaned on the ring apron. “And she’s done this long enough to know the ring inside and out, she will give this match her all.”

”That I don’t doubt, I think a good chunk of the roster wants to make a good impression on the first Supercard of the year.” I nodded in agreement as I leaned my head back. ”And as long as I don’t get any distractions………….”

“Cassandra Thompson, why aren’t you answering your phone?” I groaned as he familiar voice rang out and my mom stepped into view, this wasn’t like the Go Gym or Hero Academy, Josh’s gym had an open door policy and anyone could come in, including family members. “I had to ask Harper about where you were.”

”Mom, I told you over text about the move back to Vegas, and I’m twenty one!” I protested as I turned to my mom. ”And I know you know about my match with Crystal.”

“I still expect you to answer your phone.” My mom retorted as she approached the ring. “And we have a matter to discus, something important.”

”Is it really more important than training for my next Supercard match?” I asked and mom gave me *that* look and I sighed. ”Josh?”

“You can take five, you were on a break anyway.” Josh assured me and I got out of the ring to meet with mom.

Outside Josh’s Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 29th of January 2025, 14:00pm

So, I kinda realized that my mom, up until this point at least, hasn’t factored into my SCW Career that much.

First, some background to get you up to speed: I was eighteen years old when I decided I wanted to be a wrestler, at the time I was living with my parents in Las Vegas having moved from Australia two years prior and their only condition for agreeing to enrol me was that I enrolled at a community college so I’d at least have a backup plan but since they couldn’t afford the Go Gym they settled for the PTA Gym, run by former SCW Superstar “Prime Time” Matthew Kennedy.

To make a long story short? I found out in a roundabout way that I was related to Krystal Wolfe, at the time the Bombshell Roulette Champion, initially I was led to believe that we were cousins but in reality we’re half sisters (and that’s an even longer story) but in the end? Matthew was brought out and the gym became Hero Academy, with me going on to be the first graduate, it was a long hard journey to get there and my mom was there every step of the way.

In her own “Aussie Soccer Mom” way off course!

Since I turned twenty one she’s taken something of a step back since I’m no longer the teenaged stoner metal chick who happened to be a wrestling prodigy (and hell, I’m not even a stoner these days, I gave that stuff up because of how limited it made my travel options) so yeah, I was a bit surprised when she showed up at the gym to say the least.

”Ten missed calls over two hours?” I sighed as I looked at my phone and then back at my mom. ”It didn’t occur to you that I might be training? I told you during the Hero Academy days: most training schools don’t let their students bring their phones out of the locker room.”

“I know but a text would’ve been nice.” My mom sighed and I just shook my head. “And I wanted to talk to you about your love life.”

”Seriously?! You interrupted my training for that?!” I asked with a incredulous look on my face. ”If this is about grandchildren then that ship sailed after I came out as a lesbian.”

“I know and it’s not about grandchildren, I know it’s unlikely to happen and I’ve accepted that.” My mom responded with a nod and I let out a deep breath. “I just want my daughter to be happy and you haven’t even thought about getting another girlfriend since you broke up with Becky and Zoey.”

”That was less a breakup and more us realizing that we were drifting apart and that Becky and Zoey just wanted to be a regular couple.” I sighed as I shook my head and my mom nodded. ”And I haven’t been focussed on my love life because my SCW Contract has taken up all of my time instead.”

“I understand that Cassie but you can’t stay single forever.” My mom responded and my frown deepened. “And wrestling can’t be your whole life.”

”Maybe, maybe not, and before you ask? I’m not dating another wrestler, whether it’s Harp or another member of the roster.” I responded with a frown as I folded my arms. ”I’ve seen way too much drama happen because of that. Not to mention the stiff competition we’d face for Couple of the Year, innuendo not intended.”

“True enough but it’s worth considering.” My mom assured me and I nodded. “Can I at least watch my daughter train?”

”You may as well whilst you’re here.” I responded before leading her back into the gym.

Cassie’s promo room, Las Vegas, Nevada

*promo time*

As I got ready to cut my final promo for the match I had one question in mind.

”Let’s be honest Crystal, what exactly brought us here?” I asked bluntly as I folded my arms. ”And don’t say our SCW Contracts, it’s my job to be the smartass here, not you! I mean what really brought this match together? I thought my beef over the past cycle was with Aleesha, not you! But I guess the bosses felt the need to throw us in a match didn’t they? And hey. I don’t mind.

So long as I get my first win of the year off course.”

I added with a big grin on my face.

”We’re both polar opposites off course, you’re a wrestling veteran and a hall of famer, I’m a hotshot rookie who hasn’t even been in the company for a year yet but I’ve already made waves in the Bombshell Division.” I stated with a smirk a I looked directly at the camera. ”But when you get right down to it? We’re both female high flyers so we should really steal the show on Sunday night, the real question is off course.

Who’s coming out with the win?”

It’s that simple.

”The young and hungry rookie or the old but still motivated veteran? And yes, I know I’ve been a wrestler for two years but that still counts as a rookie in my book.” I added before I folded my arms. ”For me the answers simple: it’s gonna be me! I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain from winning this matchup Crystal but what will you lose?

Well I’d say dignity but most would argue that you lost that with the La Rosa Ardiente stunt.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Either way we’re both hungry for our first win of the year, I just happen to be fighting for my first Supercard win as well and at Inception VI? I will pick up that win over you at Inception VI and move onto the rest of the year, after that? Who knows?” I asked with a shrug of my shoulders. ”To all my fans? In a world of fake queens and Hall of Famers that most of the roster hate? Be yourselves and be a Rebel Princess! And to Crystal? Be ready because I’m Hungry Like The Wolfe!”

I turned off the camera as the scene fades.
