”Pop quiz folks: who’s the biggest joke in the Bombshell Division? And anyone who said Krystal Wolfe can officially go fuck themselves.

If it took you this song to come to Bea Barnhart then I don’t know what to say! That idiot’s only relevant when she’d riding Bill’s coattails because at least he has some credibility in the men’s division, being a former Roulette Champion and all that, but Bea? In the past however long she’s been in the Bombshell Division Bea has held exactly one title, the Mixed Tag Team Championship with Bill in a reign that’s only really notable because it set up the monster reign of Austin James Mercer and Tempest, yet somehow she keeps getting opportunities, her most recent being a Bombshell Roulette Title Match against Bobbie and, well, I don’t think I need to tell you how that ended.

She must have one hell of a piece of blackmail on the co-owners to not only be kept around this long but to keep getting chances in the spotlight, chances they now that she’ll fail at.

That’s where I come in, I get to be the latest Bombshell to try to drag anything out of that useless bitch.

And just for an extra kick in the teeth, it’s the opening match, I can’t even remember the last time I competed in an opener but it must’ve been during the early days of my Roulette Title Reign at least, and I know what you’re going to say: “being in the opener sets the tone for the rest of the show and is a huge honour” “it’ll be light work for you Krystal, what’s the big deal?” the big deal is that I should be above this shit by now!

Oh beam you have no idea the hornet’s nest you kicked when you signed up for this matchup, don’t you? Don’t worry though, you’ll soon get a lesson in violence.”

The scene opens in Krystal’s Las Vegas home where the Aussie is busy going over her TikTok analytics with Kelly and Hayley.

”Okay, things are looking good on the last TikTok vid we did.” Krystal commented as she leaned back in her computer chair and her sidekicks grinned in response. ”Right before I face the one experienced Bombshell at the bottom of the Bombshell Division’s totem pole, can’t wait to see what bullshit Bea makes up about me.”

“Aye, that does seem to be her whole personality, well, that and her infinite title shots.” Kelly responded as she shook her head and Krystal nodded in agreement. “Any idea why they stuck you in an opener against her?”

“No and I do want to know why because I should really be above this bullshit by this point.” Krystal responded as she shook her head and her sidekicks nodded in agreement. ”Do you girls know how long it’s been since I last opened a Climax Control? Don’t answer that, because that hasn’t happened since the early days of my Roulette Title reign!”

“And that was three years ago.” Hayley nodded in agreement as she sat down on the couch and rested her hands behind her head. “Which was also the last time you wrestled Bea, wasn’t it?”

”Yeah, I wrestled her three times in 2021, one in the Triple Threat that led to my reign, again in my second defence and then in the five pack challenge that served as one of my last defences.” Krystal nodded in response as she thought back to her early days as an SCW Bombshell. ”This is the first time I’ve fought her in singles competition though but all those matches have the same thing in common: I won all those encounters.”

“Well, yeah, if you hadn’t won those defences then your reign would’ve been a lot shorter.” Hayley nodded in agreement and Kystal frowned. “What? What did I say?”

”Oh nothing! You just reminded me of how my Roulette Title Reign ended in 2022, or the fact that I never got a proper return match with Ruby until after her short as reign had ended.” Krystal grunted in response and Hayley winced at the Aussie’s tone of voice. ”It doesn’t matter, because 2024 will be when I will finally have my Year of the Wolfe and no one is going to stand in my way!”

“I don’t know, Tempest did a pretty good job at standing in your way at My Bloody Valentine.” Kelly pointed out and Krystal glared at her. “Shutting up now!”

”Watch what you say Kelly or I might tell Tempest that you want another crack at her the next time we’re at the Go Gym!” Krystal warned her at which point the Irish girl wisely shut up.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Is this really what I’ve been reduced too? Wrestling Bea Barnhart in the opening match of the penultimate Climax Control before Blaze of fucking glory? No, I won’t allow thus to become my fate for the foreseeable future.

Not when I’m wrestling the potential future of the division in Erika Moore at the PPV at least! Now I know what you’re thinking, it can’t get worse than this right? Well, off the three Blaze of Glories that have aired since I signed my SCW Contract in 2020, I’ve only wrestled twice, once against a washed up legend and again against someone who rage quit the same night that I beat her because she stood up for her piece of shit friend.

Off course, that last match got vastly overshadowed by an event that took place earlier that night that basically set me on my current path but I digress.

Let Bea make up all the bullshit that moron wants, the one thing that she won’t be able to deny is how badly I beat her empty head in on Sunday.

And Erika? You’re about to learn what it’s like to have a winning streak cut short!”


Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 20th of March 2024, 11:00am

It was Wednesday morning at Krystal’s home and the Aussie wrestler was checking her e-mails at her computer.

”New Patreon subscriber, new YouTube member, new Twitch subscriber, stuff from Bandcamp.” Krystal muttered to herself as she went through the e-mails in her Gmail account. ”Things are slowly but surely building up.”

”Glad to see that you are taking this seriously.” Makayla commented as she entered the room and Krystal glanced over at her girlfriend. ”Not so sure about the wrestling side of things.”

”The SCW brain trust has me wrestling Bea Barnhart in this week’s opener, how exactly am I supposed to take that seriously?!” Krystal grunted in response as she turned to face Makayla. ”And don’t even get me started on wrestling that newcomer at Blaze of Glory!”

”I mean, Erika’s been impressive since her debut.” Makayla pointed out and Krystal frowned in response. ”Besides, what’s the problem with opening a show exactly?!”

”The problem is that the last I wrestled in an opener on Climax Control was three years ago!” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Makayla let out a deep breath. ”And I’m very certain that that dates back to before my Roulette Title reign!”

”Do you mean your first Roulette Contenders Match that basically set up Royal Purple to win the title and then lose it too you or the Triple Threat that basically set you on the path to becoming champion?” Makayla asked as she folded her arms and Krystal just shook her head. ”I was still living in Australia at the time, remember? Don’t blame me for getting some details mixed up.”

”Does it really matter? The only thing that matters is that I should be above matches like this!” Krystal insisted as she let out an angry grunt. ”Hell, Harper Mason has been after a return match with Bea for months and they have her wrestling the other Crystal, do they even pay attention to what their own talent is saying?!”

”Either that or they didn’t want to give the commentators a headache by having two Crystals wrestling the same singles match! And yes, I know you spell your name with a K instead of a C but they still sound the same when said out loud!” Makayla responded with a frown and Krystal shook her head. ”And in case you’ve forgotten, we’ve got a little anniversary coming up in May.”

”If you mean Cara and Zosia’s first birthdays, I haven’t forgotten, nor have I forgotten that I wasn’t allowed to attend their birth because of everything I was doing on SCW TV.” Krystal pointed out that fact and Makayla sighed as she shook her head. ”I still haven’t forgiven your extended family for puling that shit, I know we were separated but they were still my daughters.”

”And Penelope still thinks that I’m a fool for taking you back, we can rant about that until the cows come home.” Makayla sighed before their German Sheperd Garrus entered the room with his tail wagging and Makayla started stroking him. ”Though compared to your family mine’s practically full of saints, wasn’t your dad dying the last time you heard from them?”

”Last I heard from Kai? The bastard’s just hanging on but the docs at the prison all agree that he’ll be lucky to make it to June.” Krystal responded with a grunt and Makayla nodded. ”Anyway, I’ve got an idiot’s ass to kick this Sunday but I have some things to get off my chest as well.”

”I’m just glad that you’re not repeating the mistakes you made last year.” Makayla responded before she started to walk off. ”Because that whole saga was started by you keeping things like that bottled up rather than talk about shit.” Makaya added before she walked off.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”What do you expect me to say about Bea Barnhart at this point?

One of the worst records in the division yet still manages to find herself in title matches and that’s not even counting her husband Bill, constantly makes up shit about her opponents that just isn’t even remotely true and refuses to admit when she’s wrong, yet she’s always trotted out whenever a champion needs a challenger or if there’s a show in need of a filler match, really, take your pick and she’s probably done it in SCW.

Well, aside from actually holding a title, no one in SCW would let Bea taint a title just by touching it for more than a second and really, that one time she stole the SCW Bombshell Roulette championship from me will be the only ever time she’ll hold a singles title in SCW.

It’s a simple fact of life, Bea Barnhart is a waste of oxygen and everyone will be better off when her and her moronic husband finally retire! I am counting the days on my calendar until that happens as we speak.”

Oh boy.

”Is this really what I’ve been reduced too? Opening a random Climax Control against Bea fucking Barnhart?! What? Was Taylor Sweet too busy getting her walking papers? Kallie too busy being a beacon of positivity in the division? Or ”Candy 2.0” as I like to call her? God help us if Mark decides to give her control of Climax Control for a cycle!” Krystal asks as she shakes her head. ”They really are scraping the bottom of the barrel here, aren’t they? I’m just going to say this now, I am above this bullshit!”

Krystal says with a scowl on her face.

”Bea, do you even realize how you are viewed by the rest of the division? You are a joke and the punchline stopped being funny long ago!” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”You constantly spread lies about your opponents, in fact I’m half expecting you to say that I’m from New Zealand instead of Australia, that’s how much of a reputation you have, and don’t even get me started on your place in the perennial challengers roster! At least Mercedes Vargas is a former champion, at least Seleana Zdunich has her wife to leach off of, what do you have Bea? Oh, that’s right, one Mixed Tag Team Title reign.”

Krystal shakes her head.

”A mixed tag team title reign that was nipped in the bed because Alicia Lukas felt like using her Queen for a Day Powers to do a favour for Mercer and stuck him with Tempest in a Mixed Tag Team Title Match, I’ve taken shits longer than your one pathetic reign Bea!” Krystal grunts as she flips some hair over her shoulder. ”Yet you keep getting shot after shot, opportunity after opportunity, every time you fall short and every time you get up and get ready for your next ill-gotten opportunity, blackmail is a magical thing, isn’t it Bea? Because I can’t imagine how you keep getting shots otherwise!”

Shame.

”Yet far more deserving, honest and talented Bombshells have to wait their turn because it’s time for your bi-annual title shot, I’m not saying that someone like Kallie would’ve been a better challenger for Bobbie than you, oh wait, I am, she would’ve gotten more height on that Crossbody off the top of the cage at least! When I talk about influencing the division for the better Bea? It’s idiots like you that I talk about because you outstayed your welcome years ago.” Krystal adds before she spits to the ground. ”When I said that I should be above this bullshit I meant it! My Roulette Title Reign record has stood for three years, no one has come close to it in the Bombshell Division and this is the best they’ve got for me? Bea Barnhart in an opening match? What a fucking joke!”

It's that simple.

”This match is an insult to me and I refuse to see it any other way, and in case any of the brain trust in the Bombshell Division decide to jump all over me for this comment? I don’t give a fuck because I’m speaking the truth.” Krystal said as she shook her head. ”And at Climax Control I will show the whole division why that is a fact! Erika, I’m sure you’re going to watch my match against Bea closely so consider this a preview for the match at Blaze of Glory.”

And with that Krystal decided to wrap things up.

”And try not to rage quit when I beat you and end your undefeated streak, my last Blaze of Glory opponent can tell you all about that.” Krystal added before returning to her car. ”And Bea? Whilst the rest of the division hopes that you beat me because god fucking forbid that I have success ever again, I’ll be wondering how the fuck you are still around because “The Nightmare Dressed Like a Day Dream” Krystal Wolfe is above meaningless opening matches with the likes of a lowlife like you! But I will beat you at “Influencing the Division Part II: Same Old Song And Dance" because I kick ass for the content!”

Krystal got in her car and drove off as the scene fades.

”So yeah, let’s talk about that Fatal Four Way Match, shall we?

The fact that the title was going to change hands couldn’t have been more obvious really because out of me, Courtney, Luna and Tempest, only me and my fellow challengers could be bothered to promote the match! And between Courtney losing the Bombshell Internet Championship to Tempest and Oz choking in his title rematch against Miles? Well, it wasn’t exactly a good night for Jet City, was it?

Now Tempest is running polls to determine how next two challengers and me and Luna are nowhere near the title scene, Luna I could care less about because that little bitch is as pathetic as they come, but me? I don’t know if you heard but I’ve been waiting three fucking years for my next title reign and I’m through waiting, and if Tempest won’t give me the time of day? Well, I guess I’ll turn my attention to the next person up.

By whom I mean Julianna DiMaria, the illustrious World Bombshell Champion has just survived her first defence of the year against Alexandra, another woman on Tempest’s list, and this matchup of ours will be a non-title match, that said? Nothing says making a mark in the division like breaking a champion’s undefeated streak.

I should know, same thing happened to me three years ago! But more importantly? After all the things that bitch has said about me? I’ll take great pleasure in shutting her up.

Especially if this win gets some attention my way from the bosses.”

Krystal and Makayla where in the bar ran by former SCW Bombshell Jessie Salco enjoying a few drinks, Jessie was in the bar but mostly stayed to the back on the bar due to her pregnancy, only really coming out if something went wrong but her manager had everything under control tonight.

”So, this “wrestling influencer” idea.” Makayla said as she glanced over at her girlfriend and Krystal nodded as she took a sip of her drink. ”You really think it could work?”

”I’m more or less just throwing ideas at the wall at the moment besides, I’ve already laid the groundwork with the new “Nightmare Dressed Like a Day Dream” thing I’ve been pushing since the tag team match and at the moment? It seems like the next logical step.” Krystal responded as she set her drink down on the bar. ”Besides, with Kelly and Hayley being my backup more or less? Things should get interesting.”

”I still can’t believe that your using a Taylor Swift song as your theme.” Makayla commented as she shook her head and Krystal glanced over at the Greek Australian woman. Before shaking her head. ”Yes, I know it’s the I Prevail cover but my point still stands! I would’ve expected that from someone like Veronica Taylor!”

”Makayla, I love you but never compare me to Veronica Taylor again, she might have been my first major rival in the SCW Universe but I’ve far eclipsed that has been.” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Makayla quickly nodded in response. ”I don’t even want to be compared to that idiot positively, that’s how far removed she is! And I’m not saying that because it’s been years since Veronica was an SCW Bombshell either!”

”I know but my comparison still stands.” Makayla responded as she shook her head and as Krystal went to take a sip from her drink her phone went off. ”New card text?”

”Can you think of any other reason why I’d get a text at this hour?” Krystal asked as she unlocked her phone and Makayla nodded in agreement before Krystal checked the text. ”Only match I know about for sure is Team Go’s Mixed Tag Team Title shot.”

”Right, and that was set up weeks ago.” Makayla nodded in response to Krystal’s comment as the Aussie read through the card with one hand and took a sip from her drink with the other, said drink nearly ended up all over the bar as she saw the semi-main event. ”Based on that reaction? You’ve been booked in an unexpected match.”

”And then some, I’ve got Julianna in the semi-main event, it’s literally the only non-title match in a sea of title matches.” Krystal added before showing Makayla the match. “Both Roulette Titles and the Mixed Tag Team Titles are on the line, the latter is the one we knew about in advance, but Julianna on the other hand? And hell, this is Julianna’s first title match in six months, everything else has been a title match!”

”You know what that tells me?” Makayla asked after going through the rest of the card and Krystal shook her head. ”The bosses are trying to protect Julianna as Kayla gets set to challenge her at Blaze of Glory, you could use this as an excuse to throw a spanner in the works.”

”Because that worked so well against Alexandra when she was set to challenge Julianna last month.” Krystal responded with quite a bit of sarcastic venom in her voice as she leaned back in her chair. ”And I’d better get to planning with Kelly and Hayley.”

”Yeah, tomorrow! Because this is one of those rare Sundays where we’ve managed to go out for something other than wrestling.” Makayla reminded Krystal and the Aussie frowned before nodding. ”Besides, didn’t those two decline to come with us because they were too busy?”

”Considering I’ve had my suspicions about those two being a closeted lesbian couple? Depends on what you mean by busy.” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Makayla nodded in agreement. ”I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been out as bi since my SCU days or what but the signs could be seen from space if you ask me.”

”Oh I agree! When they were over at the house learning how to cook from me during the Supercard break I could’ve sworn I interrupted them as they were going to make out at least twice.” Makayla responded as she shook her head and Krystal nodded. ”The fact that some gay people still need to keep it hidden frustrates me to no end and I’m saying that as a gay woman who had to be talked into coming out by you!”

”Sadly we’re still going to get that as long as there are idiots who think that gay people are child groomers or some shit.” Krystal grunted in response before shaking her head. ”Enough of that bullshit, let’s just try to enjoy the rest of the night.” Krystal added as she offered Makayla a toast which Makayla accepted.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Stop me if you’ve heard this before: an overconfident, undefeated champion who has turned away a few challengers by this point gets put in a match against another competitor, non-title, and gets their undefeated streak snipped just like that.

No, I’m not talking about my Champion vs. Champion Match against Andrea Hernandez at the height of my reign, I’m talking about this week’s non-title match against Julianna.

Whilst the circumstances are different, Julianna was undefeated before she beat Courtney for the title for one thing, my opportunity here speaks for itself! Courtney may or may not be gone, I don’t give a shit to be honest, but I’m here to display one simple fact to that arrogant bitch who calls herself champion.

I will be wrestling’s first influencer and I am the bitch who will throw a wrench into hers and Kayla’s plans!”


Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada

It was the day after Krystal found out about her non-title match and since she had gone to Neon Knights with Makayla to have a good time without getting drunk they didn’t have hangovers to deal with allowing Krystal to meet with her charges relatively early.

”Hayley, Kelly, I have a couple of questions for you two.” Krystal commented to the two girls as she sat opposite them, her dogs Tali and Garrus getting plenty of fuss from the two eighteen year olds. ”You enjoy whatever you were too busy with to come out with me and Makayla to Neon Knights?”

“Err yeah! We just got a lot of work done and relaxed for the rest of the evening.” Hayley responded with a nod as she glanced over at the Irish girl. “Plenty of hard, sweaty work but we got it done in the end.”

”Uh huh.” Krystal responded before she leaned back in her chair with her arms crossed. ”And I’m guessing you heard of my upcoming match for SCW?”

“The non-title match against Julianna? Yeah, we saw it when we were going through the Climax Control card.” Kelly nodded in response as she leaned against her hand. “Why? Do you want us to help you win or something?”

”Only as a last resort, you guys will be my guests, we don’t want you to get banned from SCW a week into our new partnership.” Krystal responded as she shook her head and the two girls nodded. ”I’m still working on getting manager licenses for you guys, until then? Lay low and don’t do anything drastic!”

“You got it.” Kelly responded as she brushes some hair over her shoulder and Hayley nodded in response. “By the way, what happened to that British chick who was managing you last year? Jessica?”

”I don’t know, I haven’t heard a peep from her since that one show in Rome.” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Kelly nodded. ”And frankly? That’s something I’d sooner forget considering the wedge it drove between me and Makayla.”

“Breaking rookie’s arms in those public workouts didn’t help.” Hayley muttered under her breath but quickly backed off when she saw Krystal glaring at her. “Err, never mind! Forget I said anything.”

”Little tip girls if you want to stay on my good side? Don’t bring that saga up beyond the broad strokes, that may have gotten attention on me but it also almost got me fired after the last workout.” Krystal pointed out and the girls quickly nodded as they got the idea. ”And before you ask? No, the bosses didn’t draw much distinction between me and Sin back then.”

“Right, got it, not bringing that up like ever!” Kelly quickly nodded in response and Hayley soon joined in. “Right Hayley?”

“Right, not making that mistake again.” Haylay readily nodded in agreement before Krystal grinned to herself.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Nothing like having a pair of minions to do the dirty work for me, questions about their sexuality and the nature of Kelly and Hayley’s relationship aside off course.

Whether or not they’ll help me beat Julianna in the long run remains to be seen but if all goes well on Sunday? I won’t need their help and my first singles win of the year will be a huge one, no matter what.

Julianna is so fucking arrogant, she probably thinks that she has the match won already, I’ll put that bitch in her place on Sunday night.

Because I’ll be damned if I let any newcomer to the Bombshell Division talk to me the way Julianna has!”


Krystal’s room, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 26th of February 2024, 21:00pm

*promo time*

To topple a queen.

”Title reigns can be fickle things, can’t they? You can be on top of the world, successful defence after successful defence, banger match after banger match, then it’s over and everyone’s like “what have you done for lately?”, in part I’m talking about my own title reign all those years ago, and how the bosses weren’t willing to shift from their precious plans because a certain moron screwed me out of a title! Sorry, I’m still mad about that, but this Sunday a certain champion is going to get a taste of how that feels.” Krystal commented as she rested her hand on her cheek. ”Isn’t that right Julianna?”

Here we go.

”You’ve certainly had a hell of a start in SCW Julianna, came from out of nowhere, wet undefeated in several matches including Roxi Johnson, dubious circumstances or not, and before we knew it? You were the World Bombshell Champion.” Krystal did a round of mock applause. ”Congrats on topping the reign or a Bombshell who had defeated such worthy challengers as: a forgotten Go Gym Graduate who got the luckiest Blast from the Past Pairing ever, Ariana Angelos when she was at her worst, a never was like Zoey Lukas, Keira who was about to retire for good and off course, you.” Krystal added as she shook her head. ”But what about you Julianna, who have you swatted away so far?”

Good question.

”Courtney because rematch clauses only exist for champions the bosses like apparently, Mercedes because god knows she’s gotta get a shot somehow, Bella because some people get lucky, Bea because god knows what blackmail the Barnharts have on the bosses to keep getting so many title shots and off course, Alexandra, your last defence.” Krystal stated before shaking her head with a frown. ”I’ll give you credit for having better competition than Courtney at least Julianna but have you really been tested as a champion?”

Let’s answer that.

”In this Aussie’s opinion? No, the Bombshell Division is in need of change, and whilst Harper’s a sweet kid, she’s nowhere near ready to be the face of that change, not yet at least.” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”How long are near do wells like Mercedes and Seleana going to find themselves in the title picture for, huh? Or to put it another way? This division needs a serious shakeup and you may not believe it Julianna, but the change will start when I beat you on Sunday!”

It’s that simple,

”Laugh all you want Julianna because I’ve been meaning to shut that mouth of yours for months!” Krystal added as she glared at the camera. ”Don’t you think I’ve seen the shit you’ve said about me? “not as good as she thinks she is”? “Krystal Meth”, what? Were you binge watching Breaking Bad when you came up with that one? “embarrassed for Alexandra if she lost to me?”? That one in particular is a favourite of mine because it exposed just how ignorant and moronic you are! Because last I checked? It wasn’t you who set a Bombshell Roulette Title Record that no one has been able to come close to in the two years since it ended, it was me, and I’m going to shove those words right down your fucking throat!”

And with that Krystal decided to wrap things up.

”And trust me Julianna, I won’t serve those words with salt and pepper either, it’s going to be the blandest meal of your life, just like your title reign so far, bland!” Krystal kicked back in her computer chair and looked right at the camera. ”Because I’m going to start using my status as an influencer on social media for the better of the division, a process that’s going to start from the fucking top with you Julianna at Influencing the Division Part I: New Day! Why? Because it'll be a new day for the division, courtesy of the “Nightmare Dressed Like a Day Dream” Krystal Wolfe, why? Because I kick arse for the content! See you on Sunday bitch!”

Krystal turned off her webcam as the scene fades.

« on: February 11, 2024, 07:06:10 PM »
”You know what I hate? Aside from losing? So called champions who don’t put the effort in for every match, I’ll give credit to Bobbie, Peter, Miles, and Juliana, I may not get on with a majority of those wrestlers but they at least care about the titles they hold, they at least give each defence everything they’ve got.

The same can’t be said for Courtney, she’s made no secret of her disdain for the Bombshell Internet Championship but until now she’s put in the effort to keep her hands on it, whether it was against Ariana or Luna in her first two defences, but now that she’s facing three ither women for the gold she can’t be bothered to put the effort in?

What does that tell you about the kind of woman Courtney is?

Say what you will about Luna and Tempest, they put the effort in, they made their voices heard but our esteemed champion? The one who could very well lose the title she so despises to someone who she thinks isn’t worth her time? This just reinforces my belief that I will be the Bombshell Internet Champion after Sunday night.

And if a certain idiot with a briefcase decides to try to ruin my moment? Her head will be kicked all the way back to south London!”


Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Sunday the 11th of February 2024, 11:00am

It was an average Sunday in Krystal’s home in Las Vegas, or at least as average a Sunday could be when it was the last Sunday before a big PPV and Krystal was competing in a title match against two challengers and an absentee champ.

”So Courtney’s gone AWOL and no one’s heard a peep from her?” Makayla asked as she walked into the living room where Krystal was sat watching this week’s SCW promos on her laptop. ”At least tell me Luna and Tempest spoke?”

”They did, so I’ve at least got some competition heading into this Fatal Hour Way Match.” Krystal responded with a grunt as she shook her head. ”Remenver the Roulette Title Reign? Setting aside how it ended because I can rant, and have ranted, about that until the cows come home but you remember how much effort I put into making the Bombshell Roulette Title mean something.”

”How could I forget? You basically opened every other Supercard Cycle in 2021 by asking who was going to step up next!” Makayla responded with a nod after thinking back to those days. ”It ultimately took Keira to end that reign after two hundred and seventy days at least, what are you getting at Charlotte?”

”If there’s one thing I hate more than losing, it’s champions who don’t put the effort in, at least the other champions in SCW care about the titles they defend.” Krystal responded as she let out a deep breath. ”Miles fought tooth and nail to finally win another singles title, Peter’s basically doing what I did with the Bombshell Roulette Title only with the men’s division title, Bobbie has waited years to get her hands on her first title and she’s making every moment count, Julianna has been unstoppable since she arrived in SCW and her title reign is more evidence of that, and what is Courtney doing for her first PPV as champion?”

”Posting photos of her on a beech somewhere without mentioning where she is and basically telling the Bombshell Roster to fuck off, that’ll make her popular with the bosses for sure.” Makayla responded with a frown as she walked around couch and sat next to me. ”How far of is Courtney from the hundred day mark?”

”Not sure but she can’t be that far off, when Ari won it she said her hundred day mark was at the end of January and Courtney beat her for the title, so I’m using that as a basis.”  Krystal responded with a shrug and Makayla nodded as she got the idea. ”One thing’s for sure, when I win the title next Sunday I’ll be out to make Myra Rivers’ reign look like look like it was a one and done defence! And it won’t matter who the bosses throw my way or when and where Georgie decides to use her briefcase!”

”I just don’t plan too far ahead, that’s been your downfall in the past Charlotte.” Makayla reminded Krystal and she frowned before nodding in response. ”So what’s the deal with you and these Go Gym students? Kelly and Hayley? I know you broke Kelly’s nose last week but now Gabriel expects you to mentor them?”

”Kelly more so but you got the general idea, Gabriel wants to see if I can sort out Kelly’s attitude problem and stop Hayley from becoming a taller, American version of Kelly.” Krystal responded with a nod as she leaned back in her chair. ”I’m going to meet with them tomorrow and talk with them in detail about it, Kelly has cooled down since them but yeah, this is going to be interesting.”

”So long as this doesn’t turn into another Jessica Stevens situation! Not in the sexual sense since they are a decade younger than you but in the sense that it drove us apart.” Makayla responded before quickly elaborating when she saw the look Krystal was giving her. ”Anyway, I’m off to get started on lunch, want anything in particular?”

”Nothig much, just make it taste good.” Krystal responded with a shrug and Makayla nodded before she walked off.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Remember when this title was held by someone who gave a crap? Good times, and now I get to win it back for the Go Gym.

The only promos I haven’t watched like are Tempest’s and Luna’s and I’ll be saving those for when next weekend rolls around and My Bloody Valentine is finally here! Though based on what Luna has said about me on Twitter and my past experience with Tempest? I think I can guess what they said.

As for the champ herself? I’m half expecting Courtney to drop off the face of the earth completely either before or after My Bloody Valentine, just based on what she’s posted on Twitter and the fact that she couldn’t give a damn about her third defence, she had made no secret of the fact that she hates the Internet Title and views it as a consolation prize but this? Basically dropping the title that better women before her have poured their blood sweat and tears into?

This makes me sick! It almost makes me wish that Georgie would take her out before the match and cash in her briefcase, at least then we’d get that out of the way too!

As for this match? The fact that Courtney has apparently decided that this match isn’t worth her time does basically guarantee that they’ll be a new champion after My Bloody Valentine and if you ask me? It’s been too long since the title as held by an Australian.

I suppose we can count our lucky stars that Bea Barnhart isn’t the one that Courtney decided to drop it too! But it does bag the question, will Luna and Tempest win it?

Hah! No! that title is as good as mine and I bet it’ll just eat away at Luma that someone from her least favourite city in South Australia is the new champion instead of her.

Like I care what someone from the city famous for Mardi Gras thinks!”


Outside the Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 12th of February 2024, 18:15pm

It was after the Go Gym had closed for the day and Krystal was waiting in the parking lot for Kelly and Hayley to come out of the gym as they had planned.

”The Go Gym closed fifteen minutes ago.” Krystal muttered to herself as she checked the time on her watch. ”What’s taking those two so long? Getting changed out of their wrestling gear shouldn’t take that long.” Krystal added as she started looking up YouTube videos to pass the time. ”If they take any longer I’ll go in there and look for them……..”

“Like you’d get past Despy.” Hayley’s voice broke my train of thought and I glanced up, the two young women were standing right there, Kelly was wiping something from the side of her neck but Krystal ignored it. “And yeah, Gabriel’s told us about the arrangement.”

”I’m gonna be honest with you two, I wasn’t a fan of the idea after what happened between me and Kelly last week but this is literally the only way I’m going to stay in Gabriel’s good graces.” Krystal explained as she folded her arms and the two Go Gym students nodded. ”And I’m guessing he basically told you the same thing?”

“Yep, I didn’t move all the way from Ireland to get expelled so I’m going to make this work come hell or highwater!” Kelly responded with a nod before she stuck her hand out for a handshake. ”Saying that, only real way this is gonna work is if we put the whole breaking my nose thing behind us, up calling it evens on that?”

”Sure.” Krystal responded before accepting the handshake firmly. ”But another crack like that and I’ll make sure Gabriel’s the first to know, and I don’t think I need to elaborate on the outcome of that, do you?”

“Nope, got your message loud and clear.” Kelly responded with a frown before I motioned for them to get in my car. “So where are we going anyway?”

”You two are going home, as am I because Makayla was cooking dinner before I left.” I responded and the girls nodded as they got the idea. ”Makayla does want to meet you guys at some point but I’m not at the point where I trust you guys enough for that, what with me having three daughters and two adult dogs back home and all.”

“Yeah, I get it.” Kelly nodded in response as she and Hayley made themselves comfortable in the backseat after buckling up and Krystal started driving off. “At least this is better than seeing my dreams going up in smoke.”

”Not arguing with that.” Krystal responded as she drove around. ”By the way, what was taking you guys so long? And what were you wiping from your neck Kel?”

“Oh, I had to give my headband a thorough wash, too much sweat, it was also what I was wiping from my neck.” Kelly responded and Krystal raised an eyebrow. “You know how tough the training regimens get in the Go Gym!”

”Uh huh.” Krystal responded whilst sounding unconvinced but let it slide. ”Now onto my other question, do you guys want to start coming with me to SCW shows starting from My Bloody Valentine or not.”

“Definitely yes, we want to see the Go Gym get some gold back.” Hayley responded with a nod and I grinned in response. “But in what capacity? Your sidekicks or just as guests like the week where you teamed up with Tempest?”

”Haven’t made my mind up on that you but we’ll see.” Krystal responded with a nod as she resumed driving. ”We’ll see what happens at the PPV in any case.” Krystal added before she drove off.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”A record setting Roulette Champion reduced to being a babysitter for two unruly Go Gym Students, what can go wrong? Either way, I’m sure Gabriel finds some amusement in this!

However they might have some use going forward but that is beside the point, my next match is easily my most important one yet and I’m not letting the Internet Title slip from my grasp again! At least this time around I can pretty much guarantee that they’ll be a new champion since no one’s heard a peep from Courtney.

I’ve already made my thoughts on that joke of a champion known, same goes for my fellow challengers Luna and Tempest, Tempest will probably disappear for a few months again after this but Luna? She’s a persistent little cockroach, almost like Jessie was during her younger days only less obsessive with titles, not saying muh but still, she will find a way to get under my skin again.

And she will lose again.”

*promo time*

Well, well.

”See this? this scenery represents all the fucks Courtney gives about the division that made her relevant!” Krystal pans her camera around the empty surroundings before focussing it on her. ”How else do you explain Courtney going silent ahead of her third and soon to be final defence? Or her only posts on Twitter being about how she’s done for some fucking reason, makes us wonder why she wasted our time, doesn’t it Luna and Tempest?”

Honestly!

”Let me make one thing clear, I have no patience for champions like Courtney, the types that put in minimal effort and expect to get away with it, well, I’ve got bad news for Courtney because I’m not going to let her get away with this shit.” Krystal added as she leaned against her car. ”That said, I at least know that Luna and Tempest will give me a fight worthy of a championship match, does that mean they’ll beat me? No, but at least they are putting more effort in than the so called champion.”

Speaking of whom.

”Courtney, I’ll keep this as brief as your title reign, where did this attitude come from exactly?” Krystal asked with a frown on her face. ”You turned away Ari in her rematch, beat Luna after she went to town on your leg, both in Main Events and yet you suddenly don’t give a crap? I don’t understand you and I look forward to sending you back to obscurity.”

For good with any luck.

”The last time I was a champion was in 2021, but I still took pride in my reign, you can’t even say that! Hell you’ve outright called the Internet Title a consolation prize.” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”And trust me Courtney when I take the title from your ill-deserved hands? It’ll be my Roulette Title Reign all over again, in other words? A far more memorable reign than either of yours! Is it any wonder why people say Fenris is the only reason you’re a Blast from the Past winner?”

Next up is Tempest.

”Ahh Tempest, I’m sure you’re not so amused by Courtney’s lack of care for her title as I am!” Krystal said as she paced around for a bit. ”The fact that there’s a good chance that a champion who only got her previous World Bombshell Title Reign because she was carried to the Blast from the Past finals by a Go Gym Graduate is likely to lose her second title to one of two Go Gym Graduates is pretty ironic, wouldn’t you say Tempest? But the real question is, who?”

Good question.

”You have the size and power, I have the speed, agility and power to spare, if it comes down to between us then it’ll at least be an interesting matchup, not to mention our third ever meeting.” Krystal said as she sat on the roof of her car. ”But I’m extra motivated by the crap Courtney is pulling here and my losing streak against you will end at My Bloody Valentine, until then? See you at My Bloody Valentine, and may the best Aussie Go Gym Graduate win!”

Last up is Luna.

”And now for someone I wish I could forget about, the one who dumps on my home city of Adelaide when she originates from the most overrated tourist spot in the world, who else but Luna, am I right?” Krystal shakes her head as her ran a hand through her hair. ”Luna, if there’s one thing you love more than moping about your pathetically short title reigns, it’s your blind hatred for Adelaide, have you even been to Adelaide? Don’t answer that, because I’ve already had enough of your crap!”

But.

”But I will give you SOME credit Luna, you are the modern day Jessie Salco, not in that you’ll be a Hall of Famer one day but rather the fact that you are a pathetic, persistent cockroach much like Jessie was in her younger days! Don’t take it from me if anything Jessie would agree with me.” Krystal added as she blew a stray strand of hair out of her face. ”I’ll keep this brief but I look forward to stamping you out on Sunday Night Luna!”

It's that simple.

”I was already motivated from how long it’s been since my last title reign, but now that Courtney has shown her true colours? I look forward to putting her down at Then Let Me Part IV: Two Years Too Long.” Krystal added as she folded her arms. ”Why two years? Because that’s how long it’s been since I was last champion and I’ve waited too long to get back in the champions circle!”

And with that Krystal decided to wrap things up.

”And I’ll be damned if Courtney spends another second after the PPV in that very circle!” Krystal added as she started to make her way over to her car. ”As for Luna and Tempest? As far as I’m concerned? They are bumps in the road! Especially large ones in Tempest’s case but bumps in the road none the less! And at My Blood Valentine V I will run them all over to become the new Bombshell Internet Champion as “The Nightmare Dressed Like a Daydream” Krystal Wolfe!”

Krystal got in her car as the scene fades.

”What is an oxymoron?

Webster’s Dictionary describes it as a figure of speech that combines contradictory words with opposing meanings, someone as stupid as Ruby Steele would call it an insult to oxen or try to use it as an insult against someone she disliked, which is basically anyone but her wife at this point, but you want to know what I see as an oxymoron?

A champion who holds onto a title she hates yet refuses to give it up.

I’ll admit, I was surprised when I found myself thrown into the Bombshell Internet Title scene following the match against Alexandra but more to the point, I find myself facing three people who have plenty of reasons to hate my guts.

Courtney, the aforementioned champion, can’t get over the fact that I did the Bombshell Division a favour by presenting her talentless wife from stinking up more arenas whenever she tried to wrestle, sure I was under the control of Sin at the time but don’t act like Ruby didn’t have that coming, she had been phoning it in for ages at that point and she was already terrible to begin with! Thing is? Courtney can’t get it through her thick skull that I wasn’t in control of my actions and, well, you know the rest.

Tempest, a woman who I never got on with to begin with and the animosity only grew after I attacked Aiana and Cassie last year, calling our relationship tumultuous is putting it mildly but at least she was smart enough to see the value in setting our differences aside to beat Courtney and Luna in that tag team match several weeks ago., but that alliance died the moment Tempest got the pin on Luna and Tempest will be dealt with in time.

And last but not least, Luna! I’m not even sure what her animosity against me is about, we’ve only wrestled three times before now, once in that World Bombshell Title Qualifier Series, again in the Golden Briefcase Ladder Match and most recently in the aforementioned Tag Team Match and my opinion towards her is basically meh, she has talent for sure but she seems to be a modern day Jessie Salco with how short her title reigns were, if I had to point to a weak point in this match, it would definitely be Luna.

And then there’s me, the Aussie Bombshell from Adelaide who’s out to break a three year long title drought, surrounded by enemies and arguably with the least to lose in this match, Courtney stands to lose the Bombshell Internet Title, Tempest stands to lose her thousandth title match, Luna stands to be a choke artist again, me? The only thing I stand to lose is more of my pride as I’m sent back to the drawing board once again, but in the end?

I will be the Bombshell Internet Champion!”


Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Tuesday the 6th of February 2024, 14:00pm

It was an average day at the Go Gym and for Krystal? That meant preparing for her title match at the PPV as best she could.

”Okay, Kelly? Hayley? Carmen? This is meant to be a test run ahead of my title match in two weeks.” Krystal instructed the four rookies as they stood in a corner each, Kelly and Hayley were, off course, fairly well trained at this point but Carmen was a newcomer, a Peruvian who moved to Vegas to train at the Go Gym. ”Carmen, you are new here but in terms of size? You’re the closest have to Tempest without asking Tempest herself and, well, I don’t want Tempest to have any insider knowledge to my strategies heading into the Four Way.”

“Si, I get it, Tempest is dangerous enough as it is.” Carmen nodded in response as she warmed up, Carmen wasn’t as tall or big as Tempest but she was still the tallest woman in the match and had been a CrossFit athlete and power lifter before she started training at the Go Gym. “I’m pretty strong so I’ll see what I can do to emulate Tempest’s style.”

“I don’t get why I’m the one playing Courtney’s part.” Kelly complained as she folded her arms with a huff. “I know I have an attitude problem but Courtney makes me look like a saint.” The Irish girl added and Krystal shook her head.

”That may or may not be true Kelly but your style is also closest to Courtney’s.” Krystal responded and Kelly nodded as she started warming up. ”Any questions Hayley or can we get started?”

“Err, yeah, just the one.” Hayley stated as she moved to the middle of the ring and Krystal grinned as she started measuring Hayley up. “I guess I’m playing Luna’s part because she’s the one your indifferent too?”

”Pretty much, also?” Krystal launched out of the corner and nailed Hayley with a spear, knocking the wind right out of the young rookie’s sails. ”Match starts now.”

Kelly and Carmen shared a look before they launched themselves at Krystal and started trading blows with the Aussie, Carmen, being the least experienced member of the three trainees, lacked the refinement in her style that Kelly, Hayley and Krystal had but she had the strength to make up for it as she demonstrated a couple of times by swatting aside Kelly whenever she tries to start something with her, eventually Hayley recovered from the surprise spear and started climbing a nearby turnbuckle.

“Hey guys?” Hayley called out to the trio and they looked up. “Remember me?” Hayley added before launching off the top rope and hitting a high cross body on all three of her opponents, considering her experience level? Hayley got a lot of height on the move and it was executed beautifully.

”Good job on that crossbody Hayley, you’re coming a long way already.” Krystal complimented the trainee who grinned as the Aussie sat up and the others picked themselves up. ”Though Luna wouldn’t have warned us before doing such a move or fallen for that spear set up.”

“Yeah, yeah, don’t we have a sparring match to get back too?” Hayley complained but before Krystal could respond Kelly spoke up as the Aussie picked herself up.

“Yeah, you might want to watch yourself Krystal.” Kelly replied as she started straightening out her ponytail which had come a bit lose during the match. “We don’t want you to start acting like Sin again?”

”What did you just say?” Krystal asked as she slowly turned her head towards Kelly who hesitated. ”Go on, I’m waiting.”

“All I said was that we don’t want you to start acting like Sin!” Kelly defended herself as Krystal got progressively angrier. “So what? Are you gonna go all Si………”

The next thing Kelly knew, she was facedown on the matt, clutching her nose in pain after Krystal cheap shotted the Irish student with a forearm to the nose, Kelly looked up at Krystal with a look of shock as Krystal loomed over her with an enraged look on her face. ”Don’t go there again Kelly, or you’ll get a lot………”

It was then Kelly realized that there was blood trickling down from her nose and after feeling it, she realized that Krystal’s forearm had broken her nose, enraged, Kelly picked herself up. “Oh, you want to play that dirty, huh?!” Upon realizing how ugly this could get, Hayley and Carmen quickly put themselves between Kelly and Krystal, Carmen holding the Irish girl against the ropes and Hayley pinning Krystal against the turnbuckle. “Get the fuck off me Carmen!”

“And risk this situation getting any uglier? I think now.” Carmen responded as she shook her head at which point Gabriel came out of his office. “Oh, wonderful! It appears I spoke too soon!”

”Can someone tell me what exactly is going on here?!” Gabriel asked as he glanced between the three women. ”I thought I could trust you with those three students Krystal but things have already gotten out of hand?”

”Things were going well, until Kelly made a couple of snide comments about me and Sin.” Krystal responded with a frown and Gabriel’s frown deepened. ”I retaliated with a forearm to the nose that ended up breaking it, Carmen and Hayley are just keeping things from escalating further.”

“Si, and Kelly wasn’t exactly making it easy on me before you came out.” Carmen nodded in response as Kelly started to calm down. “Kelly started it with the comment.”

”Hayley, Carmen, you are now sparing against each other, Kelly, go to the medic and get that nose looked at.” The three trainees nodded before Kelly left the ring and Hayley and Carmen started working out. ”Krystal, my office, now.” Gabriel added and Krystal nodded before leaving the ring.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Krllu may be angry at me now but down the line? She’ll realize that if anything? She got off easy with a broken nose.

That sparing match was supposed to talk me prepare for the Fatal Four Way for the Bombshell Internet Title at My Bloody Valentine, instead it’s gotten me in hot water with Gabriel, not exactly the first time this has happened either, hell if I had a dollar for every time I got in hot water with Gabriel and Tempest was involved in some way? I’d have two dollars.

I know that’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice!

Either way, the fact remains, this is going to be my first title match of the year ad I need to make it count, I’ve waited three years to get my hands on another title and frankly? That’s three years too long!”


Gabriel’s office, the Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Tuesday the 5th of February 2024, 14:30pm

Krystal entered Gabriel’s office with a frown on her face before sitting down without a word.

”I don’t know why you’re choosing to talk to me instead of the Irish brat in need of a reality check.” Krystal commented with a frown as she leaned back. ”You know how I feel about that whole Sin debacle from last year, Kelly’s comment got exactly what it deserved, and it’s not exactly the first time she’s stepped out of line, or do I need to remind you of her “bright idea” to challenge Tempest to a match twice and drag Hayley along for the second?”

”I will deal with Kelly about that comment once the medic has tended to her nose, and you are correct, Ms. Moore’s attitude does need some serious adjustment if she’s going to be a Go Gym success story down the line.” Gabriel responded with a frown as he shifted his weight. ”Not unlike a certain Australian from Adelaide when she was still training at the Go Gym.”

”What exactly is that supposed to mean?!” Krystal asked with a tilted head of confusion as she folded her arms. ”If you’re referring to how I was after I first moved to America, then you already know the story behind that.”

”Yes, you were still dealing with your anger issues from the terrible circumstances of your childhood, that is well documented at this point Charlotte.” Gabriel nodded in response and Krystal frowned. ”And as far as I’ve been able to ascertain, the issues with Kelly don’t stem from the same place, she comes from a loving family, her mother even paid her way to move here.”

”Gabriel, you realize the jokes I can make about that, right?” Krystal asked with a scoff as she smirked. ”That her family got so sick of Kelly’s attitude that they used her desire to train at the Go Gym to get her out of their hair.”

”Yes, and you’re hardly the only one who’s made that joke, I will return to the matter of Kelly in a moment.” Gabriel commented as he leaned forward. ”Four women, one title, three people who can be charitably called volatile towards you, what are you doing to prepare for this match?”

”Same thing I do every title match, train my ass off and hope for the best.” Krystal responded as she shook her head. ”Off the three, Courtney’s the only one I’ve never wrestled one on one, my first encounter with her was that tag match.” Krystal added as she leaned back. ”This will be my fifth time wrestling Luna and third time in a multiperson match, if you remember Ariana wrestled Luna in her one and only Bombshell Internet Title Match, a match that indirectly led to this mess.”

”You are correct, Ariana cost Courtney her rematch for the World Bombshell Title, Courtney went after the Internet Title to punish Ariana and that led to this four way in a sense.” Gabriel nodded as Krystal leaned back in her chair. ”Remember one thing about this title match, Courtney doesn’t need to be pinned or submitted to lose the title, and the sooner we can get that title back in the Go Gym’s camp, the better! Now, back to Kelly, I want you to take her and Hayley under your wing.”

Those words nearly made Krystal fall out of her chair from shock. ”Err, excuse me?!” Krystal asked with a voice crack to emphasize just how shocked she was by this. ”This is the same girl who’s nose I just broke and Hayley not nearly as bad as Kelly, why are you doing this?!”

”Because I am almost at my wits end regarding you and Kelly, Kelly is a talented girl but her attitude problems haven’t improved, I fear the day may come that I have no choice but to expel her from the Go Gym sooner rather than later and whilst you have graduated Charlotte? You are much in the same boat.” Gabriel responded as he placed his hands on the desk. ”Another incident like that and you will be banned from the Go Gym again, and this time? There won’t be a second chance.”

”So we’re basically both on thin ice and this is our last chance?” Krystal asked and Gabriel nodded. ”And Hayley?”

”She is less problematic but I believe Kelly has a toxic influence on her, if Kelly’s attitude improves then there’s no reason why Hayley’s shouldn’t either.” Gabriel explained and Krystal nodded as she got the idea. ”For now? I need you to go home early and avoid further contact with Kelly, I will give her the same message and offer I just gave you and I will let you know if she accepts.”

”Somehow I doubt she’ll refuse it, see you tomorrow Gabriel.” Krystal responded before she left Gabriel’s office.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Me? Mentor a girl who’s a decade younger than me and with an attitude problem almost as big as my home country? Right before a PPV Title Match? And they say Gabriel doesn’t have a sense of humour.

I guess I’ll find out if this will actually be a thing tomorrow but how is mentoring Kelly and Hayley supposed to help me prepare for Luna, Tempest and off course, Courtney? Hell, Tempest used those girls are her personal weight machines several weeks ago so I doubt they will want to get involved.

I know PPV Hype time tends to be some of the craziest times on the average SCW Callender, especially with My Bloody Valentine kicking off the season, but what will happen next?

One way to find out.”


Walking down a hiking trail, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 6th of February 2024, 11:00am

*promo time*

What a mess.

”Riddle me this, what do you get when you take four Bombshells, including one who the other three absolutely hate, stick them in a Bombshell Internet Title Match together on PPV and see what happens? You get Courtney Pierce’s third defence against me, Luna Pasilno and Tempest, that’s what you get!” Krystal commented as she folded her arms. ”And I’m sure the prospect me getting my ass kicked by all three have certain members of the roster tickled pink! The kind that never got it through their thick fucking skulls that I actually was trying to be a better person after the Sin debacle and threw it back in my face when I got frustrated over losing one match!” Krystal scoffs as she shakes her head. ”The joke will be on those idiots when I’m the last Bombshell Standing and I’m the Bombshell Internet Champion!”

Sorry, not sorry.

”Let’s look at my opposition, Courtney Pierce, the spoiled brat of the Bombshell Division, fakes an injury because she can’t cut it at the top after winning the 2018 Blast from the past Tournament, came back and lost to everyone, left again, came back and finally ended the tedium of Roxi’s infinite title reigns, had an unmemorable reign and threw a fit when she lost, I think you know the rest! Tempest, the Go Gym Graduate who’s only talent is being big and strong, and guess what? Never liked her either, and as for Luna?” Krystal shakes her head. ”I guess Raven’s been feeding her lies about my home state of South Australia, more specifically Adelaide, and yet still hates me specifically for reasons.”

Krystal shakes her head.

”I guess my little campaign to win Most Hated at last year’s Year End Awards did have some effects after all, even if I did lose it to a cranky old man.” Krystal scoffs as she folds her arms. ”But enough stalling, let’s go over these ladies one by one because I do have something to say about each woman, and who better to start with that the champion herself?”

You know it.

”Courtney, your idle threats amuse me because you don’t have the balls to try to break my arm and for what? Taking your useless slut of a wife out of action? Please, I did the Bombshell Division a god damn favour!” Krystal shakes her head with a frown. ”History won’t remember Ruby as a Blast from the Past Winner they’ll remember her as the failed wrestler who hitched her ride onto a spoiled brat of a champion and never looked back! And honestly? If you had never come back? I don’t think history would’ve been too kind to your Blast from the Past win either Courtney.”

The honest truth.

”You were carried to the finals by a future Hall of Famer in Fenris, you realized that you weren’t good enough to win the gold in 2018 and fucked off for several years claiming an injury, and you want people to view you as one of the best?” Krystal shakes her head. ”Don’t think I’ve ever met a wrestler as delusional as you Courtney, and that includes The Troll, and once I take the title from you? The rest of the roster will realize that fact as well.”

Next up Tempest.

”Tempest, you were useful to me in one capacity so thank you for scoring me my first win of 2024, I’ll repay you by kicking your ass in this match!” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”It’s like I told you when the bosses booked that tag team match a few weeks ago Tempest, we’ve never been friends and he ship has sailed long ago but when it comes to us as enemies? We have quite a storied history, wouldn’t you say?”

Story time.

”First match: my second as an SCW Bombshell and your first, one of many losses I suffered during my first few months on the Bombshell Roster! Second meeting, last year’s Into the Void, I don’t think I need I need to go over that match again, and then, there was the last time we were in a Bombshell Internet Title Match, I nearly eliminated you only to get dumped out by Ari! Off course you soon followed but more to the point, will this be the match where you brak your singles title curse?” Krystal asked before shaking her head. ”No.”

Last but not least, Luna!

”Ahh Luna, the enemy I never knew I had, the newest Bombshell out of the four in this match, Alexander Raven’s hanger on, I can call you many things but here’s one that will stick: a failure.” Krystal stated as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”How long did it take you to break that losing streak? Too long, am I right? I’ve been there but unlike you I didn’t break it with a Bombshell Roulette Title win, though I did get close, but my reign didn’t last two weeks either!”

Here we go,

”Sure, go ahead and brag about winning the Bombshell Roulette and Bombshell Internet Titles in the same year, and hope and pray that people don’t look too closely into it, oops! I have, and it’s not a pretty sight.” Krystal states as she folds her arms. ”Bombshell Roulette Title Reign: lasted two weeks and lost it on a random Climax Control, spent the next few months trying desperately to get back into a title picture, only to have the same thing happen with the title we’re fighting for! But hey, at least that one ended at High Stakes! You know what you are Luna? Pathetic! And if you somehow get out with the title? I’ll personally be counting down the days until you lose the title again! Until then Luna, enjoy being the butt of everyone’s joke!”

It’s that simple.

”The deck is definitely stacked against me in this match but I’m more than ready for the challenge! Have a title drought that lasts three years will do that to you!” Krystal adds as she shakes her head. ”Courtney, Luna, Tempest? You three aren’t getting in my way of my long overdue title reign and at My Bloody Valentine I will walk out the Bombshell Internet Champ!”

And with that Krystal decided to wrap things up.

”Do you know how much this has been eating away at me? Don’t answer that, because I’ll make that fact very clear when I’m walking out the Bombshell Internet Champion! And Georgie? I fucking dare you to try to cash in on me when I win that title because I will whack that title so hard upside your head you’d think you were Dick van Dyke doing a poor Cockney Accent!” Krystal adds as she makes a belt motion around her waist. ”And as for Courtney, Luna, and Tempest? Hate me all you want, because when I’m Bombshell Internet Champ at Then Let Me Part III: Unforgiven I will be undeniable! Because they call me a nightmare dressed like a day dream but in reality? I’m the next Bombshell Internet Champion Krystal Wolfe! And I’ll see you all at My Bloody Valentine!”

Krystal turns off her camera as the scene fades.

(Tempest was used with Chris’s permission)

”Have you ever looked at a match and said to yourself “okay, how did I piss off the bosses this week?!”? Well, that’s how I feel about this upcoming tag team match that pits me and a fellow Go Gym Graduate against Courtney Pierce and Luna Pasilno, so what’s the problem? Things are just peachy between me and the other Go Gym Graduates right?

My partner is Tempest.

Me and Tempest have always had a rocky relationship, from being her first ever opponent back in 2020 to offering to interfere on Bella’s behalf when she took on Tempest during the Go Home show for 2021’s Violent Conduct event, and let’s not even get started on when I attacked Ariana and Cassie last year and incurred Tempest’s wrath.

Though to be honest, Tempest is the lesser of three evils here, Courtney could never work as my partner because of that whole “breaking her wife’s arm when I was possessed by Sin” thing and Luna’s too inconsistent to be a reliable partner, Tempest, to her credit is a former Mixed Tag Team Champion and had the longest reign with those belts when she teamed with Austin, on paper she’s one of the best partners I could ask for in this match, assuming that she doesn’t yeet me into the third row on principle.”

Oh yeah, the whole reason why this match was created to begin with, it seems that he bosses want to have a Fatal Four Way for the Bombshell Internet Title at My Bloody Valentine and even though I lost my match to Alexandra tonight, I’ve been selected as the fourth woman in the match, this tag team match is basically a glorified preview!

Nothing like getting a pin over the Bombshell Internet Champ to deliver a blow to Court’s ego I guess, especially when you remember that she’s been at war with Ari for months on end!”


Backstage at Climax Control 382, Denver, Colorado
Sunday the 14th of January 2023, 21:00pm

It was backstage at Climax Control after a rather chaotic night and Krystal was on her way to her car when she got a FaceTime Call.

”Makayla? Wonder what this is about?” Krystal muttered to herself before answering the call. ”Hey, I’m just on my way back to the car park as we speak, I’ll be back in Vegas by tomorrow afternoon most likely.”

”Hey, it’s cool! I just wanted to see how you were taking the loss to Alex.” Makayla responded and Krystal frowned as she leaned against the wall. ”Because saying that you didn’t take the losses to Bella and Georgie gracefully is the understatement of the century, but Cassie said that the only tweet you put out was about this tag team match.”

”Oh don’t mind me Makayla, I’m just trying to avoid another crucifixion by social fucking media!” Krystal responded bitterly and her ex-wife just shook her head in response. ”And that tag team match? Don’t even get me started, I haven’t gotten on well with Tempest since we signed our first SCW contracts in 2020 and that was before all the shit that happened last year! How exactly do the bosses expect me and Tempest to coexist?! Courtney and Luna may hate each other for reasons I’m not entirely sure off but they at least have a better chance of working together as a team!”

”And it’ll be a cold day in hell before you and Courtney can work together after Sin forced you to break Ruby’s arm last year, and Luna? God knows where her mind’s been at with Raven’s disappearance!” Makayla shook her head as Krystal failed to notice a looming shadow over her ”I know you hate the fact Charlotte but Tempest is simply the lesser of three evils in this match!”

”I don’t know what I hate more that fact or the fact that you have a point about Courtney and Luna!” Krystal responded as she shook her head before taking a step back and bumping into someone. ”Ugh, what now?”

“Is that anyway to treat another Go Gym graduate?” Krystal stops before turning around and seeing Tempest right behind her. “I heard your ranting to Makayla I see you’ve learned about the match.”

”And by extension, this match we’re apparently going to have at My Bloody Valentine.” Krystal grumbled as she looked the taller and larger Bombshell up and down. ”Let’s face facts Tempest, the likelihood of us being friends is just about equal to The Troll winning the World Heavyweight Title, but we are both professionals and we can work together towards a common goal in this tag match.”

“Professional? Cute, coming from the Aussie who lost it over losing a match twice.” Tempest scoffed and Krystal growled. “But you are right, we both want that precious momentum heading into this fatal four way, to that end I suppose we can call a truce.”

”Yeah, for now.” Krystal responded apprehensively. ”On that note, any idea why Courtney and Ruby are suddenly so interested in you?”

“No clue, I thought their beef was with Luna and I just got caught in the crossfire, I didn’t exactly take kindly to that.” Tempest responded as she shook her had and Krystal nodded. “I guess they’ve moved on from making Ari’s life hell at least.”

”Guess so, but I don’t think Ari’s moved on either.” Krystal responded as she shook her head. ”We’d better keep an eye out for our Greek American friend, she hasn’t exactly been subtle about her hatred of Courtney since she tried to break Ari’s hand, coincidentally getting a Bombshell Internet Title Match between you and her cancelled in the process.”

“The wrestling world just works like that sometimes.” Tempest responded as she shook her head. “I’ll be expecting you at the Go Gym first thing Tuesday morning, if we are going to win this thing then we had better start training.”

”Agreed, but just so I can get one thing straight?” Krystal responded and Tempest turned to the Aussie. ”As far as this tag team match goes? We’re allies, but as soon as it’s over? All bets are off, are we clear?”

“Naturally.” Tempest nodded in responded with a nod before she walked off and Krystal resumed her chat with Makayla.

”What is it about that woman that’s so intimidating in and out of the ring?” Makayla wondered with a shudder and Krystal just shook her head. ”At least you’re on the same page with Tempest as far as this match goes.”

”Yeah, but we’ll see how long that lasts once the bell rings, all it’ll take is one moment of miscommunication and wham, our partnership is deader than the Go Sisters.” Krystal responded with a frown as she entered the car park. ”I’ll call you back when I get to the hotel, we’ll figure things out from there.” Krystal added and Makayla nodded before she hung up and Krystal hopped in her car.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”I swear the bosses get their jollies from booking matches like this!

One woman I hate, one woman whose wife hates me and happens to be the champ in a sea of challengers, one woman I’m indifferent to but hates the champ and I’m caught in the middle of this uneasy alliance with Tempest!

They were probably cackling as they put this match together! Thing is? I’m technically the neutral third party in this, the beef is between Courtney, Luna and Tempest but I’ve been thrown in for reasons I can’t wrap my head around!

Least I’m getting my first title shot of the year out of this!”


Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 17th of January 2023, 09:00am

Krystal showed up to the Go Gym that day as she had promised but she arrived just in time to see Tempest powerbomb one of the trainees and leave her in a heap, as Krystal neared the ring she spotted another trainee shaking her head.

”So what’s the story here?” Krystal asked the trainee as she motioned to the trainee who was just about peeling herself off the matt. ”I didn’t think Tempest would be starting without me, especially not against Kelly.”

“Oh, she did intend to just do some light workouts until you showed up, well, light workouts for Tempest at least.” Hayley responded as she shook her head before motioning to Kelly who had retreated into a corner. “And then Kelly started talking trash about Tempest, within earshot of Tempest, when Tempest confronted her Kelly didn’t back down, saying that she could beat her in a fight, Tempest dared her to prove it and well, just look.”

”Kelly’s the same height and weight range as Cassie, why would she think that was a good idea?!” Krystal asked with a facepalm and Hayley just shook her head with a laugh. ”Maybe she’s had some sense beaten into her?”

“Nah, fuck that!” Kelly’s thick Irish accent responded before she charged at Tempest, but the Irish girl’s bravado was cut short when Tempest laid her out with a lariat, sending the headband she had on around her head flying across the Go Gym. “You know what? I’m good, you win, OW!”

”We’re not even three weeks into the new year, how am I getting “dumbest things I’ve heard all year” candidates already?!” Krystal asked with an exasperated sigh before Hayley rushed over to help Kelly out of the way, once Kelly was close enough to Krystal the Aussie looked her over, Kelly was a strong and athletic girl but she was covered in bruises and matt burns and had to be tended too by Hayley. ”So Kelly, what did we learn today?”

“That Tempest hits like a mac truck on steroids?” Kelly groaned as tried to make herself comfortable, the Aussie knew that Kelly had a reputation for being a good student with an attitude problem but even this seemed like a new low for the Irish lass. “And I should stick to my weight class when picking fights?”

”Maybe not that second part since there aren’t many bombshells in Tempest’s weight class.” Krystal responded not noticing that they  were being  approached by Tempest from inside the ring. ”But if you do decide to pick a fight with Tempest again. Maybe don’t go all Leeroy Jenkins with your tactics?”

“Are you done talking to my punching bag?” Krystal turned to Tempest who was leaning over the ring ropes, Kelly did her best to not look up at her tormentor. “Because I know you’ll be smarter about our sparring match than Kelly was.”

“You Powerbombed me so many times that Heyley was keeping count!” Kelly complained and Krystal shook her head with a chuckle. “You didn’t really give me a chance!”

“You were the one who decided to open the match with a Hurricanrana and I needed to teach you a lesson.” Tempest responded simply and Kelly grimaced. “By the way, your headband landed on the other side of the Go Gym.”

”Want me to go get it?”  Krystal offered but Tempest shook her head, making the message clear, Hayley was at least kind enough to go get Kelly’s headband whilst Krystal entered the ring. ”Do I even want to know what Kelly said to set you off?”

“No.” Tempest responded as she shook her head and Krystal nodded. “All you need to know is that the little girl got a painful lesson about punching above her weight class.”

”And it’s like I said to Kelly, there’s not many women who are in your weight class in this sport.” Krystal commented dryly as she started warming up. ”Even so, I’m not going to let you turn me into a permanent imprint on the matt like you did with Kelly!”

“How cute, you assumed that Kelly had a choice in the matter.” Tempest scoffed but the two women started sparring and the medic checked on Kelly.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Considering the last time Tempest wrestled in SCW was in the bi-annual Black Friday Brawl, Tempest wasn’t exactly in a playing mood today! Then again I could’ve guessed that from the state she left Kelly in! pretty much the only thing that saved me from Kelly’s fate was the fact that I’m more experienced than Kelly and have wrestled Tempest twice.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that I got out of the match unscathed, it’s Tempest after all, but compared to Kelly who had most of her battle wounds visible thanks to her crop top and yeah, I got off a lot easier.

Good thing too, because unlike Kelly I’m teaming with this woman on Sunday!”

*promo time*

How?

”I didn’t think my night at this past week’s Climax Control could get any worse, then this match got announced, pitting me and another of Courtney’s challengers at My Bloody Valentine V against Courtney and the third challenger Luna Pasilno.” Krystal commented as she folded her arms and leaned against her car. ”So what’s the catch? Everyone knows that I’ve spent the past two years give or take on the title hunt and so far the only title I haven’t gone after are the Mixed Tag Team Titles, finding a decent partner is the main problem there, but therein lies the problem with this tag team match, my partner, Tempest!”

Krystal shakes her head.

”For those who haven’t followed my career since I signed with SCW back in 2020, me and Tempest get along like oil and seagulls!” Krystal stars as she flips some hair over her shoulder. ”And if I had to go over every single reason why, we’d be here until next January! But let’s compare my options, we have Courtney who’s wife’s arm I broke last year when I was possessed by a demon, yeah, that was a crazy time, and as for her partner Luna? Why would I want to team up with someone as inconsistent as Raven’s cheerleader?!”

Honestly!

”In other words, Tempest is the lesser of three evils and the fact that we both Go Gym Graduates helps I guess and considering Courtney’s recent war with another Go Gym Graduate it seems she can’t stay away from us!” Krystal adds as she starts to pace around. ”And what’s the point behind this tag team match? Besides the bosses deciding to torment four Bombshells at once? Because me, Luna and Tempest are going to be challenging Courtney for the Bombshell Internet Championship at My Bloody Valentine V, this match is glorified preview!”

A trailer if you will.

”And off course, Ruby’s going to be at ringside for this match, meaning that she’s going to be out to get some misplaced revenge on me, I guess I can hold out hope that Tempest will send her running again.” Krystal added as she shook her head. ”But there’s one thing I don’t get, why am I in this match? Last I checked, the beef was with Tempest, Luna and Courtney, I’m basically being thrown into this match because reasons, which begs the question, what will the scene look like when I win the title from Courtney? I don’t know but I can give you a preview of this on Sunday!”

It’s that simple.

”Because if Courtney thought her problems with the Go Gym were over, she’s wrong, they are just beginning.” Krystal adds as she heads towards her car. ”This match may be a preview but it will be a preview that won’t end in the champ’s favour, it really boils down to who takes the pin or submission, Luna, or Courtney? Because if Luna takes the pin from either me or Tempest then Courtney will hide behind the fact that her partner couldn’t keep up, but if Courtney takes the pin?”

And with that Krystal decided to wrap things up.

”Then it won’t bode well for the new Bombshell Internet Champion at My Bloody Valentine V, will it?” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”Because a champion entering a title match on PPV after suffering a loss to one of her challengers doesn’t seem like a good sign to me, does it Courtney? Luna? You’ll just be along for the ride because I’ll be focusing on Courtney and I’m sure Tempest will agree! The winds of change are blowing in SCW and soon, at Then Let Me Part II: Greater of Two Evils, the face of the new generation of Bombshells will be the new Bombshell Internet Champion!”

Krystal gets in her car and drove off as the scene fades.

”So yeah, 2023 was definitely a year, wasn’t it? I got divorced, superkicked Cassie, got possessed by a demon at some point, the Bombshell Roster still treats me like crap even after Sin has been long since erased from my being and just to rub salt in the wound? Two underserving choke artists hot opportunities that should’ve been mine, Bella choked on the World Bombshell Title Match as I predicted and Georgie’s already starting to choke as she carries around that Golden Briefcase.

Not as good as I think I am my ass!

You know what they say, New Year, New Me, well if I had a nickel for every time that was followed through on I’d have less money in my account from the time the fine for breaking Ruby’s arm was paid (and that payment was finally paid off last month) but I guess I’m just going to focus on me heading into the New Year and that starts with a Bombshell who’s coming up to her first year in SCW: Alexandrea Callaway! Seems the old bitch with access to the fountain of youth has set her sights on the World Bombshell Championship heading into the new year, well I’ve got championship aspirations of my own and I’m going to put a damper on hers.”


Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 8th of January 2024, 13:00pm

The Christmas holidays had been relatively quiet for Krystal and Makayla, well, as quiet as the holidays when they had one six year old stepdaughter and two wins to looks after.

But with the new year upon them Krystal and her girlfriend were ready to start anew, in and out of the ring, where that path would take them they didn’t know but whatever it was, Krystal felt she was ready.

”I see Bella’s out there starting her bullshit again.” Krystal grunted in annoyance as she went over Twitter on her computer., Krystal shakes her head before switching to her YouTube app. ”There’s gotta be something I can watch to take my mind off things, dealing with the Bombshell Roster is enough of a headache to put up with in general these days.”

”You were the one who decided to alienate most of the roster for most of 2023, hell for a while you were an island all to yourself in Grand Junction.” Makayla pointed out as she walked up to her girlfriend with a pair of coffee mug in hand, Krystal took hers and started taking sips from it. ”And you did go back to badmouthing Bombshells the moment you lost that match to Bella.”

”We both know that I’ve done a hell of a lot more to earn that title match than Bella’s ever done even without that spoiled little princess spending most of 2023 on maternity leave!” Krystal pointed out with a frown as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”And speaking off, Alexandra seems intent on showing that the bosses are incredibly selective when it comes to people booking their own title matches, not naming names.”

”You don’t need to I know who you’re talking about.” Makala responded as she shook her head and I nodded. ”And off course the last time you were in a ring with Alexandra was when you stole that win from her over London Underground.”

”The woman’s forty years old and has been wrestling since the late nineties, she should know by now that a win’s a win.” Krystal pointed out as she shook her head and Makayla gave her a surprised look. ”What? Are you really that surprised that a woman that long in her career got signed to SCW? Mercedes is ten years older than her for fucks sake and she’s in the Bombshell Roulette Title Match!”

”No, I’m more shocked that someone as old as my youngest aunt looks as good as she does!” Makayla responded as she shook her head. ”Seriously, her, Team Hero, Jessie, and several other names I’m probably forgetting, how are they all older than us yet still look at least half their age? Do they have access to the fountain of youth? And yes, I realize that Jessie would be a teenager if she were half her age but that’s beside the point!”

”Fuck if I know! That’s probably just one of wrestling’s great mysteries that’ll remain unsolved for as long as this sport goes on!” Krystal responded with a shrug before checking her laptop again. ”Either way I’ll be going to the Go Gym at some point this week, need a catch up chat with Gabriel and, off course train, not just for the match but my future plans, I’ve got a lot of stuff on my plate and the SCW Calendar year has just begun.”

”Hopefully nothing that’ll be a repeat of last year.” Makayla responded and Krystal shook her head before getting back to work.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”How quickly people seem to forget the things people do for them, when I first contacted Alexandra she was at the end of her leash in SCW, a string of humiliating losses, including a debut loss to Bea Barnhart of all people, not exactly an auspicious start for someone start for someone with World Bombshell Title aspirations, isn’t it?

What Alexandra doesn’t realize is that she owes her current success to me! I picked her up when her Bombshell Career was in the gutter, I secured her that first win, I was the one who set her on her path to success, but now that she’s gotten her success in SCW she wants to pretend that I never helped her?

Big mistake.”


Go Gym, Last Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 10th of January 2024, 17:00pm

The Go Gym was as busy as ever but Krystal had been called into Gabriel’s office right as the day was winding down.

”Happy New Year Gabriel.” Krystal greeted her mentor/trainer as she entered his office with her arms crossed. ”But I somehow doubt you called me in just to catch up.”

”Perceptive as ever Charlotte.” Gabriel responded before he motioned for Krystal to have a seat and she did so. ”You were making good progress, then you lost it after that loss to Bella.”

”No, I started stating facts and the Bombshell Division didn’t like the fact that those faces were coming from my mouth!” Krystal responded with a grunt as she leaned back in her chair. ”Exact same thing happened when Georgie won the Golden Briefcase yet I don’t see anyone coming to her defence after she lost her match against Bella on Sunday, it’s almost like they realize that I had a point all along!”

”Or perhaps it’s because Georgie appears to be the one Bombshell who isn’t on Social Media, besides, you’ve got more pressing concerns.” Gabriel responded and it didn’t exactly take me long to figure out what he meant. ”Alexandra has her eyes on the World Bombshell Title but you seem to have title aspirations of your own, ones you haven’t made public.”

”Maybe because it’s the same title aspirations that I’ve had for a little under two years?” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Gabriel frowned. ”It’s been over four years since I signed that contact with SCW, so far the most notable things I’ve done is set new Roulette Title Records that, in the two years since my reign ended, haven’t even come close to being matched, never mind beaten, and be possessed by a demon, I’m not going to sit here and let some bitch at the top dismiss me on the back of two fluke losses!”

”You keep using those words, as if it was a mask for how you truly feel.” Gabriel responded with a frown and Krystal just shook her head in response. ”But back to the point, you’re sharing a ring with Alexandra for the first time since that tag team match against London Underground, the very match that ended Alexandra’s losing streak if I remember correctly.”

”Yeah, that was Alexandra’s first match since that viewer’s choice match against Luna and my match against Tempest, but I think we’re missing the bigger picture here.” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”Namely? Where would Alex be if I hadn’t handpicked her as my tag team partner for that tag team match? Before that match she had lost several of her matches, including her debut against Bea, at least when I ended my losing streak in 2021 I did it on my own and won my first title a lot sooner.” Krystal added as she folded her arms. ”She won’t admit it but Alexandra owes all her success to me!”

”I’ve heard a lot of things over my wrestling career, both inside the ring and out, another wrestler taking credit for another wrestlers success after one match is a new one.” Gabriel commented as he shook his head but Krystal stood her ground. ”Besides, shouldn’t you also worry about Ruby?”

”You mean Courtney’s little puppet and the one who wears the pants in their relationship who got her arm broken when I was possessed by Sin? Setting aside the fact that SCW was a lot better off without that idiot on its roster, her problem is with Sin not me, and Sin isn’t coming back!” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Gabriel nodded. ”And if she does a pick a fight with me? She’ll regret it, and quickly find out that I’m not the same Bombshell she faced in 2021!”

”You off course mean your SCW PPV debut.” Gabriel responded with a nod as Krystal shifted her weight. ”And we off course know what happened after that streak ended, the question is, will 2024 be the year where you win your next title?”

”I think we both know the answer to that, because I’m sick of just falling short of the finish line at this point!” Krystal responded before checking her phone for the time. ”Now if you excuse me, it’s just past six and I need to head home.”

”Indeed you do, send Makayla my regards.” Gabriel responded with a nod before Krystal left his office.

(Krystal’s inner thoughts)

”Three years, three long years, yet I still remember the night I won my first title in SCW like it was yesterday! I went through a lot, more so than most new Bombshells on the roster, but the point is? My records have stood for three years, no one has come close to even matching those records yet some people are so quick to dismiss me because of what I’ve done recently rather than celebrate what got my name in SCW’s history books.

Again, call me what someone even breaches one hundred and fifty days as Bombshell Roulette Champion and then we’ll talk about who’s not as good as they think.

To tell the truth? I thought it was going to be Alexandra who at least got close to breaking my records, hell, our career trajectories have been are pretty similar really, we both started with a bit of hype, both lost in the first round of Blast from the Past, broke the streak with a multi woman match (Triple Threat Match for me, Tag Team Match for Alexandra) and we both ended the last Climax Control of the year as Bombshell Roulette Champions.

Then again, I actually managed to hold my title through to the new year, Alexandra didn’t even last until the end of the year.

That said? Alexandra may have her set at the top of the card but I have title aspirations of my own and I’m out to spoil her little party, good luck with that title shot Alex.

Because you’re going to need it.”

Wednesday the 10th of January 2024, 21:00pm

*promo time*

Well, well.

”Let’s face facts here folks, a business like wrestling is the kind of business where egomaniacs thrive, just look at J2H’s little stunt from last week’s Climax Control! But I didn’t think there’d be so many fragile egos in SCW’s Bombshell Division but I guess people don’t like facts being spewed when it’s being thrown out by those who they don’t like.” Krystal comments as she rolls her eyes. ”Speaking of facts, here’s another one for you, Alexandra Callaway would be NOTHING in SCW if I didn’t take pity on her and yet here she is, under a year later setting her sights at the top of the Bombshell Mountain, pity she’s got me as her first stop on her ascent!”

This will be good.

”We both have the same goals Alexandra, we want a title to our names, and I want to shut up certain idiots on the Bombshell Roster who treat the best year of my wrestling career like it doesn’t matter, but you? You can’t stand to be without a title for more than five minutes hence why you had to steal our esteemed champion’s spotlight, but here’s the thing Alex, I can give you the spotlight and I can take it away just as easily.” Krystal added as she flipped some hair over her shoulder. ”Confused? I guess wrestling that mega match against Bobbie did more damage than you thought, eh Alex?”

And now to explain.

”Let’s rewind the clock back to the first Climax Control after last year’s Into the Void, you were so desperate to break a losing streak that you teamed up with a Bombshell who was hated by everyone else in SCW, not just the Bombshell Roster but SCW in general, I gave you that credibility when I picked up that win over London Underground and you ran away with it, never once thanking me for dragging you up to a point of relevancy in the Bombshell Division!” Krystal states adds before shaking her head with a chuckle. ”Then two weeks later I cost you that Mixed Tag Team Qualifier, well, my music at the time cost you but it still allowed you to get distracted, now I’m not taking total credit for that because I have no idea how a show like SCW is put together on the production side of things but the message was clear, what Krystal giveth, Krystal can take away just as easily!”

And now to the modern day.

”Yet it took us several months to finally get a match against each other, funny that, isn’t it?” Krystal asks as she folds her arms. ”But that long wait won’t pay dividends for you Alexandra because I’m out to do one thing in this match and that’s but a damper on your plans for the World Bombshell Championship! See Alex, I’ve got title aspirations of my own, now that the New Year is upon us I’m done waiting whilst others steal my spotlight!”

Oh yeah, one other thing?

”Just one last thing, no one cared when I was actually trying to be a better person after Violent Conduct but now that I’m being a bitch again suddenly I’m the talk of the town? If you want me to be a bitch again, fine, then let me be evil, just don’t come crying to me when I leave a pile of broken bodies in my wake as I ascend up the Bombshell mountain!” Krystal adds as she flips some hair over her shoulder. ”And Alex? If you think that you can use me as a stepping stone up to the top? Stop thinking that because I’m going to throw you off the mountain!”

It's that simple.

”I mean, you apparently have access to the fountain of youth, hopefully you’ve got an elixir of eternal life on your person as well!” Kystal adds as she shakes her head with a grin. ”Because who knows what will happen after I beat you on Sunday Alex? Will the bosses change their previous plans and focus on the bigger picture? I doubt it but a win over someone with World Bombshell Title aspirations will definitely kick off my year the right way!”

And with that Krystal decides to wrap things up.

”And from there? Who knows? Maybe you’ll pick up some steam against Ms. Manners? Kandy Kaine? Harper Mason? What I’m basically saying is that you’ll be set back to square one as I ascend to the top of the pack!” Krystal adds as she walks towards her car. ”Sorry, but that’s just how things work normally, not everyone gets to set their sights as high as you after losing a title Alex and I think it’s time you got knocked off your high perch by the face of a new generation of Bombshells Krystal Wolfe, and that will happen at Then Let Me Part I: Denied! See you in the ring!”

Krystal turns off her camera and drives off in her car as the scene fades.

It was the week of the final SCW Show of 2023 and Krystal was all set to win the Golden Briefcase, especially since only two her opponents, Seleana, and Georgie, had promoted the match whilst Luna was strangely quiet! And amongst the backlash against Krystal’s apparent entitlement following her loss to Bella Madison in the final World Bombshell Title qualifier of the year, she was arguably extra motivated to prove them wrong! Can Krystal win?

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Sunday the 10th of December 2023, 13:00pm

I bet those idiots don’t even realize what this shit has done to me.

I’ll admit, I was angry and pissed off after I lost the qualifier to Bella and yes, I used my promo to vent that anger, at which point every fucking Bombshell and their mother piled on top of me because how dare I show passion for this sport.

Then again, when I did the opposite this time last year after I lost the World Bombshell Title Match to Masque!

Honestly? I don’t know what the rest of the SCW roster wants me to be at this point, either they want me to show passion or they want me to shut up and just go with the flow, as if everyone wants me to be perfect after my record setting run with the Bombshell Roulette Title two years ago.

The fact that the bosses joined in only makes it worse, were my actions this year partially motivated by Sin? Yeah, I’m not denying that at this point, but there was still a lot of pent up frustration during those last few months that I took out on everyone and anyone and right now? I have one end goal for this year.

If you guessed the Golden Briefcase, then you’re absolutely correct, but I still had a lot to consider for after I won that damn thing! Good thing December 2 Dismember is the last show of the year because I can at least use the Christmas holidays to plot after I win the ladder match!

After that? Well, we’ll see when the time comes.

”And they wonder why I don’t use my wrestling twitter account much these days.” I muttered to myself as I read through the tweets that had been made against me in the wake of my first promo for the match, sometimes I wonder if this shit is worth it given how much of a toll my mental health has taken these last few years. ”At least Jessie got discharged from hospital.”

”I heard about that from Cass, good to know Jessie is on the mend.” Makayla commented as she entered my computer room and then frowned when she saw the tweets I was looking at. ”Are you still fuming over the comments other SCW Wrestlers have made on Twitter following your last promo? I told you the script for that thing was a bad idea but did you listen? No!”

”You don’t get it Makayla, if I had let that match pass without incident people would be claiming up and down that I don’t give a shit!” I insisted as I turned my chair around and stood up to face my ex-wife. ”I’m currently in a no win situation with the Bombshell Roster and I figured venting my frustrations was better than having a repeat of everything that happened earlier this year!”

”And I’m not denying that but that promo may have flushed all the work you’ve done to redeem yourself since Violent Conduct down the damn toilet.” Makayla responded with an exasperated sigh and I nodded in response. ”Jesus Christ Charlotte, maybe try listening to me next time.”

”Right, and I should listen to someone who can’t even train to become a wrestler because of her heart problems because?” I asked with a frown as I shook my head. ”You don’t know what it’s like Makayla, your just a fan of wrestling who used to be married to a wrestler, I do and I’ll trust the opinions of my fellow wrestlers a lot more thank you very much!”

”Right because people who willingly get kicked in the face for a living are clearly better decision makers than a former culinary student! Just look at that pissgate nonsense for a prime example of this!” Makayla responded with sarcasm dripping off her voice and I had no response to that. ”Besides, I did say that I wanted to talk about that, didn’t I?”

”What’s there to talk about? I’ve been living with you since Violent Conduct, we haven’t even talked about restarting our relationship yet even though Rachel still calls me mommy and the twins……..” Makayla cut me off in the best way possible, namely by kissing me on the lips, not a full on make out or anything but the intention was clear as day. ”You actually want to get back with me? After everything I’ve done over the past year?”

”I wanted things to be back to the way they were before Blaze of Glory for a while now, I just wasn’t sure when the time was right.” Makayla explained as she brushed some of her long blonde hair over her shoulder. ”Charlotte? I don’t care about what titles you win or what major matches you compete in, at one point you were the woman I loved but you nearly threw that all away because of your misguided quest to secure a better future for us, I’m not saying we should get remarried right away, but I am saying that I want us to go back to being a lesbian couple, if that’s what you want off course.”

I had to think about my answer for a minute, but I responded the same way Makayla did, only with a lot more passion, sadly the one thing that stopped us from clearing the desk and having sex atop it was the fact that the dogs needed to be fed and Garrus, being a German Shepherd, knew how to open doors, shame too because I almost had Makayla’s top off by that point.

This may not have been the early Christmas gift that I wanted, but I’ll take it!

I’ll give SCW credit, they know how to make the holidays seem special, well, more special than usual.

After everything that happened last week I was half tempted to delete my Twitter/X account and just follow the goings on in SCW through Cass, because it seems like I can’t open my mouth on that damn site without someone jumping down my throat and besides. Elon’s managed to turn a once popular site into a wasteland within a year of buying it so it’s not like I’d be missing much! But in the end, it came down to the simple fact that I’d have to enter my password first.

And after the elephant incident in India last year I’m about done with that level of headache!

So why am I at Jessie Salco’s bar this close to Christmas? It’s not like Jessie’s around anyways due to her recent health scare and all? Well the truth is that I got a test to meet someone here for a truce of sorts, I guess it would be cliché to call it a Christmas Truce, especially since Christmas Eve is still a week away, but that seems to be exactly what it is, and furthermore? It’s the last person I expected such a truce from.

Here's a hint, remember when my bitch phase started? Well, there were two women I attacked that night, one was Cass and we me made up once the Sin saga ended, but the other? Yeah, you guessed it, the truce was with Ariana.

Yeah, I was shocked too!

”Where the hell is she?” I wondered to myself as I sat at the bar, to Jessie’s credit, she had managed to take the bull by the horns when opening her bar, the place was packed and the food smelled delicious, the bar staff were all friendly too. ”Beginning to think she’ll never show up.”

“Waiting for someone?” The bartender who had been serving me, a young woman with dark hair wearing a crop top and booty shorts, asked as I turned to her. “You’ve been looking towards that door since you got here?”

”It’s a long story.” I responded as I shook my head and the bartender nodded in understanding. ”So, Jessie really lets you work in that outfit huh?”

“Says the professional wrestler.” The bartender countered and I had top admit, she had a point! Though my wrestling outfit consisted of a crop top and long pants so it wasn’t as revealing as hers. “Besides, I gotta make tips somehow.”

”There’s a joke there about some of the male patrons but I’m sure you’ve heard it before.” I responded dryly getting a laugh out of the bartender. ”Look, if she shows up, tell her that I headed home okay? She’s a Greek American woman, bit taller than me, waist length black hair, olive skin?”

“Oh you mean Ariana?” The bartender asked and I nodded, I kept forgetting that I was dealing with a bartender who had primarily sought employment here because she was a huge SCW fan, the door to the bar opened and she looked up. “There she is now.”

I turned around and sure enough, there was Ariana, her hand was still in a brace from Courtney’s attack and the Bombshell Internet Championship wasn’t with her, presumably she left it at home to avoid it getting stolen, but she was there standing in front of me. ”Glad you could make it Krystal, traffic was murder.” Ariana stated simply before she looked straight past me and at the bartender. ”The room I requested is free, right?”

“Yeah, follow me.” The bartender responded before leading me and Ari off to a side room, once we were inside she closed the door at Ariana’s request and I turned to her.

”Okay, what the hell is this about Ariana?” I asked bluntly as I folded my arms and Ariana leaned against a table. ”We haven’t spoken since the second Climax Control after Violent Conduct and I distinctly remember you saying that any friendship we had was dead.”

”You mean that statement I made whilst it felt like everyone was dog piling me for trying to take matters into my own hands?” Ariana glanced at her damaged hand and shook her head. ”No pun intended.” Ariana added as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”What do you think this is about Charlotte? I asked to meet you here to discuss a truce.”

”Peace talks between two former friends turned rivals at a bar owned by a Bombshell notorious for two things, her obsession with the World Bombshell Title and being a vindictive bitch?” I asked with a raised eyebrow and Ariana nodded. ”You realize the irony in that, right? The only thing keeping it from being even more ironic was if Jessie herself was here to oversee the peace talks and I’m assuming we both know why she isn’t here or won’t be at December 2 Dismember VI?”

”If you mean Jessie’s health scare then yeah, I saw her original tweet about it when I was at the same hospital for a checkup on this.” Ariana commented before holding up her braced hand. ”I just wanted to meet on neutral ground, the Go Gym and Hero  Academy are hardly neutral and the Gold Coast Cassino is too public, to say nothing of the possibility of us running into London Underground, this seemed like a good place.”

”That’s all well and good but why? And why now when I’m about to compete for a briefcase which could let me go after you, presuming you get your win back over Courtney off course.” I pointed out and Ariana nodded in response. ”That never occurred to you?”

”Just to get it out of the way? If you win the briefcase and decide to use it against me after I beat Courtney on Sunday?” I won’t hold it against you, it’ll be within your right as the briefcase holder after all.” Ariana responded as she shook her head and I nodded as I keened against the wall. ”As for why? We’re both going through the same thing, I’m being demonized for getting revenge against Courtney, like costing her a World Bombshell Title Math and you’re getting the same treatment because you vented your frustrations.”

”There’s a big difference between a choke artist getting a fluke win and a paper champion using her injured wife to help her retain the title Ariana, we both know that.” I responded as I shook my head and Ariana nodded. ”And what’s the point anyway? I have no interest in reviving the Go Sisters team, even if the bosses bring back the Bombshell Tag Titles!”

”Hey, even I’ll admit that that was a failed experiment! Our one win was against the Metal Maniacs for fuck’s sake and they haven’t been seen since then, hell they didn’t even get our team name right on the Summer XXXTreme card!” Ariana pointed out as she shook her head and I nodded in response. ”Though admittedly that might’ve been because we didn’t have an official name at that point! And even setting that aside, time heals all wounds anyway and hell, you made up with Cass, your own flesh and blood.”

”You do know the whole reason for that was blood is thicker than water, right?” I asked before shaking my head and then extending my non dominant hand out for a handshake, why? Because Ariana’s dominant hand was the one in the brace and I wanted to make it as easy as possible. ”For now, the truce is on, besides, I’ve just started dating Makayla again and I want to enter the new year with as much of a clean slate as possible.”

”And I can’t think of a more loaded task than that after the year you’ve had.” Ariana responded before accepting the handshake. ”So, we’re at a bar, we may as well get something to drink/eat whilst we’re here.”

”Never thought you’d ask.” I responded before we returned to the bar, grabbed a table and placed our orders.

*promo time*

May as well do it in here, right?

”You know, there’s a saying I heard recently that comes to mind given my treatment by certain members of the Bombshell Roster, and for what? Because I vented my frustrations last week rather than let them boil over again? I swear this division is full of fucking hypocrites!” I commented as I shook my head. ”No sin is forgiven until it is punished, and that’s definitely the vibe I got from everyone else in the Bombshell Locker Room, why does it matter anyway? Because after I beat Luna, Georgie and Seleana on Sunday, all eyes are going to be on me and the Golden Briefcase.”

And for good reason.

”After all, that briefcase comes with a power I’ll hold over the rest of the Bombshell Division, or more specifically? It’s champions, Alexanra, Ariana, and Julianna if the champions retain on Sunday and Bobbie, Courtney, and Bella if new champs are crowned on Sunday.” I stated with a frown on my face. ”And because no one likes it when I speak the truth about their new favourite Bombshell and her track record in title matches? That’s all I’m going to say about Bella for now, instead? I’m shifting my focus to my competition in this match!”

Starting with Luna.

”Then again? I’m not sure if there’s anything to say about Luna without repeating my talking points from last week, because she certainly didn’t have anything to say about me, Georgie, or Seleana.” I stated bluntly as I folded my arms. ”What’s the matter Luna? Raven’s got your tongue? Worried that you’ll fail again? Who knows at this point? And frankly? Who cares? Not like anyone had you predicted as the winner anyway.”

Next up is Seleana.

”I’ll give Seleana credit for actually having something to say this time around, pity most of it was about how everyone views your wife as the joke she is!” I commented as I shook my head. ”How you put up with that idiot is beyond me Seleana but the most you had to say about me and the others who are actually in this ladder match is that you’ve faced us before and know what we are capable off? Pathetic, almost as much as your attempt at recapturing the days when you were actually a threat to the champions of the Bombshell Division!”

Last up is Georgie.

”Oh Georgie, Georgie, Georgie, you think your head hurts now just from listening to me talk? At least your actually talking, unlike our first match Georgie! But more to the point? After I’m done with you on Sunday? Your headache won’t be from hearing me brag about being the Golden Briefcase holder.” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”It’ll be from when I bash your head into the ladder so many times you think that the current British Government is the best you Brits have!”

Really.

”The main takeaway I’m getting from the past two weeks is that no one cares if I’m trying to be good, but everyone loses their minds when I lash out at anyone.” I stated as I folded my arms. ”What Krystal do you idiots want? The good two shoes who tries to treat each of her opponents with the same level of respect? Or the jaded bitch who is sick and fucking tired of everyone criticising me when I try to do anything for myself?! Because quite frankly? The Bombshell Roster is pushing me that way right now!”

It’s that simple.

”The road to hell is paved with good intentions, I tried to be a better person in the wake of that Sin bullshit and what did it get me? My millionth rematch with Roxi Johnson? A pointless match against Georgie? Every other Bombshell acting like nothing has changed about me? I gotta ask, what’s the fucking point?” I asked bluntly as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Especially when you consider some of the pans I have for when I win the Golden Briefcase on Sunday Night, if the Bombshell Roster didn’t hate me before? Just because I pull no punches when I’m pissed off? Then they will hate me even more in the New Year.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”But that isn’t for another two weeks, and I’m not in the business of revealing all the cards I have in my hand just yet.” I commented as grinned cockily. ”After all, I’ve got Lena, Seleana and Georgie standing in between me and that briefcase, and at The Path To Redemption Part IX: The Path To Hell? Well, let’s just say that the path to redemption will take a darker turn and the rest of the Bombshell Roster will have no one to blame but themselves for how I act in the new year! Luna, Seleana, Georgie? See you on Sunday!”

I left the room as the scene fades.

Krystal was certainly confident heading into her match against Bella, after all, their previous encounter with each other had all ended with the Aussie getting the win, but to the shock of Krystal Bella had managed to break the losing streak and was now Julianna’s challenger at December 2 Dismember VI! But where did that leave Krystal? It left her facing several women she has secured wins over since the demon Sin was excised from her.

Namely? Luna Pasilno, Georgie Robertson, and Seleana Zdunich, but this wasn’t just a regular Fatal Four Way Match, oh no, it was the Golden Briefcase Ladder Match! The briefcase ensured that it’s owner would get a shot at any title he/she desired over the next year and after last being held in 2018 the briefcase was making a return for both divisions! Can Krystal secure this golden opportunity? And what will the Ausie do with the briefcase if she wins?

Well, that was a turn up for the books.

I thought I would have the match with Bella well in hand, I’ve beaten her every other time we’ve wrestled and she’s just gotten off maternity leave whilst I had spent the majority of the year wrestling at my usual high level, instead? Bella’s now in the December 2 Dismember VI Main Event against Julianna after she somehow countered my Ray of Redemption finisher into the Ashes to Ashes!

It was a long, hard fought match, I’m not going to deny that, but Bella somehow managing to score two fluke wins in a row? That I didn’t see happening! Julianna was all but guaranteed to enter 2024 with the title still around her waist now but that math result left me with one thing on my mind.

What the hell was I going to do now?

This year I haven’t missed a single PPV, Inception VI is the only real outlier because I was left of the official card but made my way back onto it through the Open Invitational Clusterfuck for the Bombshell Roulette Title that saw the end of Ari’s reign, but for the second Supercard cycle in a row I’ve lost a match that would’ve guaranteed me a spot on the Supercard and I’ve been left wondering what was next?

Ariana had her title defence against Courtney, Harper was taking on Mercedes in their grudge match, pretty much every potential new opponent was occupied at the Supercard save for three women I’ve faced since Violent Conduct: Luna, Georgie, and Seleana, but was I really going to have to put up with another rematch with Seleana? Georgie was a disappointment when I faced her and Luna is pretty much my only decent opponent of those three women.

Besides, with Roxi seemingly retiring and Keira getting pregnant recently? My opponents pool is getting rather shallow.

”Great, just fucking great.” I grumbled to myself as I sat in my rental car, the car’s stereo playing Lutharo’s “Hireath” album blasting through the car’s speakers thanks to my Bandcamp app. ”Bella’s getting a shot that she’ll inevitably choke at and I’m stuck without a purpose heading into the Supercard, again, something needs to change in the New Year because this is getting old fast.”

Almost on que my train of thought got interrupted, as well as the album, by a phone call and I saw it was a Facetime call from Makayla which I answered. ”Well, that didn’t go as planned, did it?” Makayla greeted me after I answered the call and I frowned as I leaned back against the car seat. ”Mybe you shouldn’t have gone for a finisher your still perfecting.”

”Don’t! just fucking don’t!” I grunted in response as I ran my free hand down my face. ”I’m already pissed at myself for how the match against Bella went, I don’t need to be reminded of it by my ex-wife.”

”Don’t take your frustration out on me Charlotte, I’m just trying to help!” Makayla responded as she shook her head and I frowned in response. ”Have they announced any other matches for December 2 Dismember VI yet? I know they announced the return of the Golden Briefcase for the men’s division earlier.”

”I saw that too, should be interesting to see who comes out on top in that.” I responded as I shook my head but before I could add anything else? I got a text, not the new card text but it did have the December 2 Dismember VI logo on it accompanied by my name in a match. ”Makayla, you wouldn’t happen to know next week’s State Lottery numbers, would you?”

”No, why?” Makayla asked and I took a screenshot of the text before sending it to Makayla. ”Huh, you’re in the Bombshell Golden Briefcase Match, against four women you hold wins over.”

”Yeah, Seleana, Luna and Georgie, kinda surprised Georgie’s in the match since she hasn’t won a match since the High Stakes Cycle, against Seleana no less, and her last match was a loss to Kandy Kaine.” I responded before shaking my head. ”Seleana and Luna I can understand at least since they were in the Qualifier Series as well but Georgie is definitely the outlier in this match.”

”Maybe the bosses felt like making it a truly international affair?” Makayla offered and I gave her a raised eyebrow. ”Think about it Charlotte, you’re Australian, Seleana’s Swedish and Georgie’s British, throw the American Luna into the mix and you’ve almost got a World Cup feel to the proceedings!” Makayla explained and I shook my head, she wasn’t dumb but even that was reaching. ”Hey, if you’ve got a better explanation for how they chose the participants I’d love to hear it.”

”As big a reach as that is, I’ve got nothing better to add to that discussion.” I admitted as I ran a hand through my hair. ”Look, I’m flying to Vegas first thing via Kayfabe Airlines, we’ll talk then but I also want to get a chat in with Gabriel about, well, guess!”

”Didn’t you say that the Go Gym’s closing for the holidays right after December 2 Dismember VI? That seems like as good a time as any to me.” Makayla offered with a shrug and I nodded in response. ”Besides, this is the twins’ first Christmas so I’d prefer it if you’d spend more time at home.”

”Kinda hard to do when I have a match like this in front of me at the last PPV of the SCW Callender Year.” I pointed out with a frown before shaking my head. ”We’ll talk more in the morning Makayla, but until then? I’m heading back to the hotel for some shuteye.”

”Already? It’s not even 10:00pm.” Makayla pointed out and after glancing at the time on my home screen I realized that she was right. ”Unless you’re planning to spend the rest of the night catching up on Twitter and YouTube.”

”That and Watcher of Realms, that Gear Raid Stage has been kicking my ass all weekend.” I responded as I shook my head before I realized something. ”Don’t take this the wrong way but why do you care about me spending time with the twins? I thought we weren’t going to try to pick up the relationship where we left off for a while yet.”

”I’ll admit, that was on my mind, but after you told me about Keira’s pregnancy announcement? I started to rethink some things.” Makayla trailed off and I gave her a raised eyebrow. ”We’ll talk more about that as we head into the new year, until then, just try to not veer off the deep end again.”

”I’ll try, see you tomorrow.” I responded before we hung up and the album resumed, I proceeded to drive off without another word but a lot of thoughts running through my head.

Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 4th of December 2023, 13:00pm

I decide to vent my frustrations over last night’s loss on Social Media and suddenly I’m back to being a bitch.

“She’s a sore loser” “she threw her toys out of the pram” “so much for redemption” and my favourite one because this came straight from Christian’s mouth (I’d almost say horse’s mouth except he’s more like a jackass) “should I go with my original plan and just swap Krystal and Bea’s matches around?”, all I’m saying is that I’ll be saving those receipts for the next time Courtney throws a tantrum and it goes without comment!

I guess the only upside to Christian’s idea is that Bea’s opponent would be a fresh opponent for me, on the other hand? Who the fuck is Ms. Manners?!

But based o the fact that I’ve heard nothing from them since I woke up to see those tweets this morning I’m just going to take them for the empty threats they are and train for this ladder match! Or at least I would if Gabriel hadn’t called me into his office before I could even start warming up.

”Gee, I wonder what you could’ve possibly called me in here for.” I commented dryly as I entered the office and Gabriel sat at his desk with his elbows leaning on the desk and his fingers interlocked. ”The Go Gym isn’t closing for the holidays until after December 2 Dismember VI so it couldn’t possibly be to wish me a Merry Christmas! And my birthday was last month so you’re late to that party.”

”Setting aside the fact that I wished you a Happy Birthday when you showed up at the Go Gym that day, and the fact that I have to wish Chelsea Skye a Happy Birthday tomorrow.” Gabriel responded before motioning for me to take a seat and I did so. ”Makayla called ahead when you told her about coming here to train, she wanted me to talk to you about the attitude you’ve had since you lost to Bella.”

”Oh what? I get possessed by a demon once and I’m not allowed to express my frustrations anymore?!” I asked pointedly before I sat down opposite Gabriel. ”I thought I had been making it clear that I had moved past all of that shit after my last match against Keira?!”

”Oh really? Because the way you’ve talked since you came into my office had told me that the only thing that has changed is the fact that your no longer going by “The SA Slayer” monicker.” Gabriel asked and my frown deepened as I met his gaze. ”I know what you are like Charlotte, you tend to get in your own head after losing a match that you were sure that you had in the bag, it happened during your first two Blast from the Past Tournaments, it happened when you lost the Bombshell Roulette Title and yes, I am well aware of the circumstances surrounding that loss, I could go on but we’d be here all day.”

”And your point is?” I asked as I folded my arms. ”I’ve been an extremely competitive woman ever since I entered this sport, you know that as well as I do, it only started becoming an issue for you since my frustrations boiled over back in March.”

”And this is exactly why we are having this conversation because I don’t want a repeat of that as much as Makayla doesn’t want a repeat of that!” Gabriel responded pointedly as his frown deepened. ”You suffered a setback with the loss to Bella but the Golden Briefcase Match will afford you an opportunity to make right by it! Provided off course, you win the ladder match.”

”Have you seen my opposition in the ladder match? Luna, someone I just beat, Georgie, someone I’m shocked they still keep around and Seleana, someone who I beat at the last Supercard, never mind all the other times I’ve beaten her.” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Bella was a fluke and lightning won’t strike twice for either of those three women!”

”And suppose you do win the briefcase, what do you plan to do with it? This isn’t the Queen for a Day Match Charlotte because you can take your time with your plans for after you win.” Gabriel reminded me and my frown deepened. ”It’ll allow you to go after either of the singles titles at any point, or maybe even the Mixed Tag Team Titles if you can find a make partner willing to help you out.”

”I’m pretty sure the only way that will work is if I team with the winner of the men’s Golden Briefcase Match, and I’d rather not team with Bill Barnhart thank you very much! And I’m not even sure if I can trust Rodrigo Afonso, Matty Mallow or Justin “don’t call me Decent” Smith!” I pointed out and Gabriel conceded that I had a point. ”As for the briefcase itself, I’ll worry about that after I win because knowing my track record? Planning to far ahead has often been my downfall! Now, can I go train?” I asked and Gabriel nodded before I left his office to train for the ladder match.

*promo time*

Well, this fucked up my plans.

”You know, when I woke up this morning I didn’t think I’d be saving this many receipts for the next time things don’t go Courtney’s way and she throws a temper tantrum but here we are!” I stated as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”But whilst Bella scored the biggest fluke win of the year since Georgie vs. Roxi, I’m over here making my plans for 2023 already and those plans start with this Golden Briefcase Match, especially when my opponents are Seleana, Luna and Georgie!”

Funny that.

”For those keeping score at home, that’s three women who I’ve beaten over the past few months, hell, Georgie was my first opponent after the whole Sin Debacle ended, Seleana was my opponent at the last PPV and Luna was my last beaten opponent!” I added as I folded my arms. ”What can go wrong? Well considering I’m in the Golden Briefcase match and not the World Bombshell Title Match? A lot! So, why waste any more time? let’s get this started, shall we?”

Starting with Luna.

”It seems we can’t escape each other Luna, shame too, because if Bella hadn’t gotten so fucking lucky you might have had a chance at winning this thing.” I commented before shaking my head. ”First time didn’t really count because we weren’t the final two in that Battle Royal, second time I beat you on what should’ve been the start of my journey to championship gold and now that we’ve reached the third and final time, at least for this year, it won’t be the charm for you!”

Next up is Seleana.

”Speaking of Bombshells who I can’t escape, Seleana, no matter who many times I kick your ass we somehow keep getting booked against each other, hell you would’ve been my opponent last night if you had beaten Bella.” I added as I folded my arms. ”Not to mention that this is our second PPV Meeting this year and our fist was literally just two months ago! But it’s the same situation as Luna for you Sel, you won’t repeat what Bella did.”

Last up is Georgie.

”And now for the odd Bombshell out, because out of me, Seleana and Luna, not only is Georgie the only one in the match who’s never held a title in SCW but she’s only faced me once, a match that I won I might add!” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”But if there’s a bigger choke artist in SCW than Bella it’s your Georgie, because no matter how many opportunities get thrown your way, be it Bombshell Roulette, Bombshell Internet and eventually World Bombshell Title when they decide to randomly give you a shot at that, you always fail, and this Golden Briefcase Match is no different.”

But as for me.

”Idiots call me entitled, fools call me a sore loser, bitter old fucks who run the company even considered swapping me out for Bea Barnhart but that has yet to happen, it seems I’m the only one who sees the truth about me, in that I’m a passionate driven wrestler who has been judged from on high for too long!” I added as spat at the ground. ”And for what? Having a bit of an ego? Go into literally any wrestling locker room in the world and you’ll find egos that eclipse mine! Being proud of what I’ve accomplished? I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware that taking pride in your work was a bad thing! But make no mistake, when I’m holding that Golden Briefcase I will make the lives of every Bombshell Champion miserable until I decide to cash it in and guess what? Luna, Seleana, and Georgie don’t have what it takes to stop me!”

It's that simple.

”I should be in that Main Event but I guess SCW’s still in the business of awarding fluke victories to underserving Bombshells! But you know what? I don’t give a shit, because I’m going to put my training in the building behind me to good use.” I said as I motioned to the Go Gym. ”And that starts with Seleana, Luna and Georgie, three women I’ve beaten before and three women I’ll beat again, 2024 will be the Year of the Wolfe and that Golden Briefcase is my key to making it happen!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”I’ve ranted enough about how a choke artist is in my spot in the Main Event but for now I’ll leave my three opponents with this.” I added as I walked towards my car. ”Luna may no longer have Vanity but she’s shooting for the moon if she thinks the Golden Briefcase is hers, Seleana is still clinging on to old glories whilst not putting in the effort to relive them and she won’t get a chance this time, and if there was ever a case of a pity party getting a wrestler added to a match, it’s Georgie! And at the Path To Redemption Part VIII: Not What I Planned, those three fools won’t get in my way, the winds of change are blowing and with that briefcase? I’ll be in a pole position to be the face of the future, see you at December 2 Dismember VI!”

I got in my car and drove off as the scene fades.

Krystal was one step closer to closing out a rather chaotic year with a World Bombshell Title Match against Julianna DiMaria, especially since the champ had successfully retained the title against Mercedes Vargas in this past week’s Main Event (though not without a little help from Harper Mason) but more importantly? On the same night as Julianna’s match against Mercedes the other World Bombshell Qualifier was held between two women who had challenged Krystal for the Bombshell Roulette Title, namely? Bella Madison and Seleana Zdunich.

That match was won by Bella and now, for the first time since Krystal’s Roulette Title Reign ended, the Go Gym Graduate and the second generation wrestler were set to face off one on one, the winner moving on to challenge Julianna for the World Bombshell Championship! Krystal was unbeaten against Bella though their first match, which was non-title, ended in a Disqualification after Mercedes interfered, a match that Krystal was out to avenge! Can Krystal win?

Is it me or does SCW tend to get more eventful around the holiday season?

I’m not saying that because the biggest show of SCW Calander Year traditionally takes place around this time of year, for one thing this year’s High Stakes was several weeks ago and that wasn’t even the closing Supercard of the year! No, instead I’m talking about what’s been going on the past few weeks because it seems that most of the other members of the Bombshell Division have turned up the violence in their matches/encounters.

Who knows? Maybe that damn Mariah Carrey song about Christmas is to blame!

Jokes aside? After the chaotic year I’ve had, I’ve mostly been trying to keep it nice and simple, wrestle whatever matches got assigned to me, try to stay out of other’s business as much as I could, the whole shebang.

Off course, that was before me and Luna were booked in the first qualifier to determine Julianna’s first Supercard challenger.

Which is funny when you remember that I was Masque’s last challenger as World Bombshell Champion last year before Amber did away with her for good at Inception VI, and no, that didn’t end well either, honestly? I’m not sure how that match or the tag match between me and Ari against Masque and Blackthorn got nominated for Match of the Year either! But back on topic, there wasn’t any indication that there’d be another qualifier so when I beat Luna I assumed I had my ticket booked for December 2 Dismember VI, needless to say? The second qualifier between Seleana and Bella threw a wrench into that idea tonight.

At least I can say that I’m finally getting a rematch with Bella with the only real stip being that the winner will be Julianna’s next challenger, and with Bella just coming back from maternity leave and my bitch phase well and truly over? I’m glad that no one will interfere.

And speaking of interference.

”You know, it’s funny Harp.” I commented as I watched the teenage Bombshell walk past me and she stopped in her tracks. ”I could’ve sworn you said something about being booked for Empire Pro tonight.”

”Yeah, and I’m appearing on both shows thanks to the magic of Kayfabe Airlines.” Harper responded as she turned to me and I kicked off the wall to face her. ”I basically showed up here for me and Jessie’s interview with Rocky, then flew out for the Empire Pro show, which I won’t be able to talk about until it airs, flew back just in time for the finish to the Ariana/Bea match and used Julianna’s interview to sneak out there and get under the ring.” Harper explained as she shook her head and I nodded as I got the idea. ”Not something I’m in a hurry to do again because it’s seriously fucking cramped under that ring, I only knew when to strike because I was watching a live feed of the show on my phone with my headphones in.”

”And I’m guessing that’s how you kept up with the goings on in SCW whilst you were at Empire Pro tonight?” I asked and Harper nodded in response. ”Look, I get that you got your pride and ego hurt thanks to Mercedes’s antics these past few weeks, but I’ve got my own stuff with Julianna to worry about after I beat Bella, can you at least promise me that you’ll stay out of my business whilst you deal with Mercedes?”

”Well, it’s not like you have a match against Mercedes lined up anytime soon, besides, I’m not gonna deny that a Worl Bombshell Title Match is on my bucketlist but I’m still working on proving myself to the bosses, never mind something like that!” Harper assured me and I nodded in response. ”So, how was your Thanksgiving?”

”Could’ve sworn I covered this last week but I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, what with me and Makayla being Australian and all.” I reminded Harp and she nodded as she got the idea. ”In other words, it was just a normal day for us, how about you? I know it was rough for obvious reasons.”

”It’s like I said on Twitter, I mostly spent it with Carter, Ariana, Miles and Carter’s mom and grams, Jessie literally missed the deadline to offer something similar by a second but she was okay with it because it meant I was socializing with other SCW Talent.” Harper responded with a shrug before sighing. ”Honestly? I’m more worried about my first Christmas without my parents, that going to be ten times as rough as my birthday and Thanksgiving rolled into one!”

”Take it from someone who lost her mom when I was in my teens, it never gets easier, the only thing you can do is try to stand proud and honour their memories.” I assured Harper and she gave me a thankful nod. ”That said? I know you follow me on Twitter, drop me a DM if you ever need to talk.”

”Thanks, I appreciate it.” Harper responded with a small smile and I nodded in response. ”So you think you can beat Julianna? And will you use the loss to Mercedes against her?”

”Have to get past the qualifier first, and Bella’s no slouch in the ring, as for that idea if I do get that far? No.” I responded as I shook my head and Harper gave me a curious look. ”That would be a low blow for one thing, and besides, I know what it’s like to have something like what happened to Julianna happen to me, if anything I sympathize with her, you?”

”Assuming this is some alternate universe where I somehow ended up in the qualifiers when my record isn’t even in the double digits yet?” Harper asked and I nodded in response. ”I’d probably say the same, being a champ myself? I’d hate to have that happen to me.”

”Good to know we’re on the same wavelength, by the way, where’s Jess?” I asked as I looked around for Harper’s manager. ”I was expecting to see her waiting for you in the crowd.”

”She came with me to the Empire Pro show and flew back, only downside? She was jetlagged and opted to sit the rest of the show out.” Harper explained and I nodded as I got the idea. ”I sent her a text with the summarised results for the matches she missed but I don’t know if she got it.”

”Well, if your heading back to the hotel to check on her? I’m coming too, want to get an early night, big title match and all.” I responded and Harper nodded before we walked off.

This was definitely shaping up to be a hell of a way for SCW to end the year.

Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 27th of November 2023, 13:00pm

I’ve lived in the US since I was eighteen, and it still feels weird to get asked about a holiday that I don’t celebrate because I’m not originally from America.

Given that it was just last week? You’ve probably worked out that I’m talking about Thanksgiving, I was never really a fan of the holiday because of the historical events surrounding it but than again there’s a good reason why Colonialism is a thing of the past to begin with! Still, it was a quiet day for me and Makayla and with the Go Gym closing for the holidays right before December 2 Dismember VI? I’m getting in as much training as I can.

Yeah, potentially wrestling for a World Bombshell Title opportunity at the end of a chaotic year tends to turn your focus up to eleven, who’d have thought?

As for who I was training with? The real question is who wants to train with me? Me and Gabriel may have made amends the week before High Stakes but the other graduates and prospective students have been slow to welcome me back into the fold, some of the new girls like Kelly have been willing to give me a second chance but from what I’ve heard? That Irish student is on thin ice as well because of a nasty argument she had with Ariana during the lead up to High Stakes.

There’s two things the Go Gym is good at, producing top tier wrestlers like me and Ariana and drama queens, again, like me and Ariana.

”One of these days I’m going to find a sparring partner who isn’t this damn punching bag.” I muttered to myself as I steadied the punching bag with my hands, pretty sure I mentioned that I took boxing lessons to learn self-defence before I decided “fuck it, I’m moving to America to enrol at the Go Gym” and whilst I haven’t had boxing lessons in just under ten years now? I can still punch pretty hard as the indents in the punching bag will tell you. ”Not much good for training for a World Bombshell Title qualifier.”

“Well yeah, that thing can’t hit back.” I glanced over and saw a new girl that I had seen around the gym lately, just hadn’t had the chance to chat with her, a shorter girl with long messy black hair and blue eyes. “Your Krystal Wolfe right?”

”Do you see any other Australian women with blue hair in this building?” I asked sarcastically and the girl let out a nervous laugh. ”Yeah, that’s me, and if all goes to plan? You’re currently talking to the soon to be SCW World Bombshell Champ!”

“That’s if you get past Bella and Julianna off course.” The youngster responded as she looked at her nails playfully and I shook my head. “Pretty sure they punch back unlike that punching bag!”

“I’ve wrestled Bella before and she hasn’t shown any signs that maternity leave has slowed her down, and Julianna? That bitch is the World Bombshell Champion for a god damn reason.” I responded as I shook my head and she nodded in response. ”Unless off course they are somehow still stuffed from Thanksgiving Dinner by the time I wrestle them! By the way, I don’t think I caught your name.”

“Oh right, sorry, my name’s Hayley.” Hayley introduced herself and I nodded in response. “So err, you want to spar?” Hayley asked as she motioned towards the ring and I hesitated, she was clearly a raw rookie and sparring with her wouldn’t have the same effect as sparring with another graduate but well, I’ve already gone over the fact that I’m not exactly on good terms with the,.

Guess it’s better than nothing I guess. ”You’re on, but just because your new doesn’t mean I’ll go easy on you.” I responded before we headed into the ring and started sparring, the fact that Hayley was a newbie was glaringly obvious, as was the fact that I was outclassing her at every turn, still she was a good sport and the few times she did manage to keep up with me? She did show some promise.

And there’s one person who just had to ruin it. ”Watch yourself Hayley, or you might end up with a broken arm.” We glanced up and saw Ariana standing on the apron, prominently showing her braced hand as she leaned on the ring ropes. ”I mean, your opponent did go on a war against rookies for most of the year!”

”Yeah but at least I waited for a chance to challenge for the World Bombshell Championship to drop into my lap.” I responded snidely and Ariana only had one response, namely flipping me off with her good hand. ”Don’t you have a zoo of stray animals to look after back home?”

”Don’t you have a broken marriage to fix?” At Ariana’s one response the whole gym went silent as they turned to my former friend with shocked looks on their faces, me? I nearly lunged at her for that low blow but Hayley got in between us and she quickly hopped off the apron. ”Good luck against Bella and Julianna, I’ll enjoy being the only Go Gym Graduate to currently hold a title in the meantime.”

”At least until you bitch and moan about losing to Courtney again.” I called back and Ariana said nothing in response, she just flipped me off again, I didn’t interact with Ariana again for the rest of the night and I mostly just spent it sparring with Hayley.

*promo time*

Well then.

”In the span of the few weeks that have passed since High Stakes, two things that I didn’t expect but I’m not complaining about happened, one: I beat Luna in a World Bombshell Championship Qualifier in a bit of a mini tournament that SCW’s hosting to determine Julianna’s next challenger.” I commented as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Two: I’m facing someone who I haven’t wrestled in two years in my second qualifier, in fact the last time I wrestled this woman was when I was the Bombshell Roulette Champion, yeah, you know who it is, it’s been too long Bella.”

And now for the uncomfortable elephant in the room.

”Look, I said some things about you that I’m not proud off earlier this year, off course that was back when I had a damn demon inside me but who’s counting?” I asked sarcastically as I shook my head.  ”Not me and definitely not the women I faced towards the end of that saga! Look, I know there’s no amount of apologizing that can make what I said right Bella, all I can say is that the things I said about you were fucked up and I’ve moved past it.”

To put it mildly.

”Beyond that, let’s talk about our match history, shall we? We first wrestled right after I won the Bombshell Roulette Title, that was a non-title match that I seriously wish was my first defence and not just because my record at the end of it all would’ve been even more impressive, because Mercedes Vargas decided that she just had to get involved.” I commented with a frown as I shook my head. ”I guess causing wrestlers who are infinitely more relevant than her to lose via disqualification is a hobby considering her recent antics with Harper! After that we didn’t wrestle again until SCW’s first show outside of Las Vegas since the Pandemic alongside Mercedes in my third defence, fast forward a whole cycle and a major social faux pas on my part and we wrestled again at that year’s Violent Conduct, in a Glitter Lightsabre Duel Match!”

Seriously.

”I swear if there’s one hiring I could retcon from SCW’s history for that one reason, it would be Candy! But I digress, we didn’t meet again until one of my last defences, that five pack challenge at the High Stakes X Go Home Show, to be honest? I’m not sure if I should count that clusterfuck in our little series of matches, but considering your dropped out of the Open Invitational Scramble because you got pregnant at the start of the year? I guess it’ll have to do as far as counting our encounters go.” I added as I folded my arms. ”Do you see a pattern here yet Bella? No? let me spell it out for you.”

Here we go.

”Our one normal match got ruined by outside interference, our encounter after that was a defence of the title I held at the time that also featured the woman who interfered in our match, a match that would’ve featured a third challenger if Violet didn’t drop off the face of the earth by the way, our next match was one of the worst gimmick matches I’ve ever been in and considering that my first defence was a mud pit match? That’s saying something! And our last encounter? You were one of four challengers for my title, and you still lost to me after I kicked our and another opponent into an open grave, that is something that’s been eating away at me for the past two years, every time we are set to wrestle? Something works against us having a nice, clean match!”

I swear.

”Tis the danger of the Bombshell Roulette Division I guess, and just so we’re clear? I don’t regret my reign as the Bombshell Roulette Champ, that reign put me on the map for fuck’s sake! But just because it was the thing that made people stand up and take notice of me doesn’t meant I don’t have regrets about it, and I’d be here all day if I had to list them all.” I added as I stared into the camera. ”And you’re at the centre of several of those regrets Bella, that and the title itself.”

Yep.

”Granted, I was the Bombshell Roulette Champion at the time and there’s always an element of risk in that division, but I respect you too much as a talent to let that slide Bella.” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Maybe now, after two years of waiting, we’ll finally know who the better woman is with no outside bullshit! We both know Julianna’s going to watch this match closely because whoever wins here will be her next challenger but I don’t think she’s the type to get personally involved like that! Granted, we’ve yet to see her truly pissed off at someone but I’m sure that’ll change soon.””

It’s that simple.

”So yeah, basically? This match is about who challenges for the World Bombshell Championship at December 2 Dismember VI, but in terms of my pride? This match is about answering a two year old question.” I said as I started to walk towards my car. ”Who’s the better wrestler, me, or Bella Madison? And there’s only one way we’re going to settle this and get that question answered once and for all, by meeting at The Path to Redemption Part VII: Old Face, New Goals.”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Why that title? Because you may have wrestled me when I was just breaking out as a wrestler Bella but my goals have changed a lot since then! Back then it was all about proving myself as champion and to silence my critics, now? It’s about finishing a story!” I added as I approached the car door. ”The story of how I’ve waited a whole fucking year to get back in the title scene and the fact that I have to wrestle someone who was one of my first opponents the last time I was champ isn’t lost on me, the winds of change are blowing Bella, and unless you get the fuck out of the way? You will get trampled underfoot by the face of the new generation of Bombshells Krystal Wolfe!”

I got in the car and drove off as the scene fades.

10
Krystal hadn’t seen any action since she got the win over Seleana at High Stakes but that was about to change this week because Krystal had been picked as one of the women who will face off in an attempt to qualify for a World Bombshell Title Shot at December 2 Dismember IV on the 17th of December, but who was the other woman? The enigmatic former Bombshell Roulette and Bombshell Internet Champion Luna Vanity! Luna and Krystal last faced off in the Battle Royal to determine the new Bombshell Internet Champion, a match that Luna won only to drop the title to the runner up Ariana Angelos two weeks later at High Stakes and winning all three major titles in the same year would do a lot for Luna, can Krystal get the win?

Backstage at Climax Control 377, Primm, Nevada
Sunday the 12th of November 2023, 21:00pm

There’s only one word that comes to mind when asked to describe tonight’s Climax Control and that is chaotic.

You know a show’s been eventful when Bea Barnhart getting a win over Kat fucking Jones is the least shocking moment of the night but here we are, Ariana and Courtney’s war only escalated, Mercedes decided that wailing on Harper with a cane and getting disqualified for it, an impromptu Bombshell Internet Title Match between Tempest and Ariana being thrown out because Courtney decided to try to break Ariana’s hand.

Sad thing is? If I was going the whole bitch phase now it’d fit rather nicely!

But I gotta be honest, I’ve been kinda restless since High Stakes, Seleana proved to be an even bigger disappointment than usual and the fact that I haven’t seen action over the past two weeks hasn’t helped matters! Anyone who paid attention to me when I was the Bombshell Roulette Champion knows that I’m the kind of wrestler who thrives on competition and the fact that I’ve spent the last few weeks twiddling my thumbs waiting for a match has been killing me!

But my prayers have been answered, and not by the usual source either.

”Wait, what the hell is this about a qualifier?!” I asked myself as I read the tweet from Julianna, seems that the new World Bombshell Champion was eager to defend her title again after Ariana, so eager that she had beat the new card text by literal milliseconds, how do I know this? because I got the new card text as I was reading Julianna’s tweet and switched to my text messages.

Sure enough? There it was, nestled right between the two Mixed Tag Team Matches (including tonight’s original Main Event) was my next match, a World Bombshell Qualifier that pitted me against Luna, despite a rocky start Luna had managed to make a name for herself as one of the best young talents on the Bombshell Roster winning the Bombshell Roulette and Bombshell Internet Titles a few months apart from each win, granted, she lost both titles in her first defence two weeks later (to Jessie and Ariana respectively) but that was still nothing to sneeze at.

Two Bombshells who have had rocky years to say the least fighting to face the newest Bombshell on the block who is not only undefeated but won the World Bombshell Title in her sixth match with the company, wrestling can be weird like that sometimes.

My train of thought was interrupted by a FaceTime call from Makayla which I answered. ”Hey Charlotte, so, what the hell is going on at Climax Control this evening?” Makayla asked and I could only shrug.

”You’re asking me? For the first time in months, I’m on the outside looking in as far as all the crazy shit that’s happening in the Bombshell Division is concerned!” I responded as I shook my head and Makayla nodded as she got the idea. ”It’s almost like Jessie’s wrestling career was the only thing keeping the rest of the division sane!”

”Relatively sane, we both know the kinds of characters wrestling can attract.” Makayla corrected me and I had to admit that she had a point. ”Then again Jessie’s cousin seems to be the most normal girl in the division right now.”

”Even then, Harp’s a military brat with a background in martial arts and high school wrestling, just saying.” I pointed out before quickly shaking my head. ”I at least have some good news about next week’s show, well, good and better news would be more accurate, the good news is I’m finally getting a chance to wrestle again after I beat Seleana at High Stakes, the better news? It’s a World Bombshell Title Qualifier against Luna.”

”Well, Luna has put on some real bangers against Ariana but I’m not sure how that better……..wait, World Bombshell Title Qualifier?!” Makayla asked as it hit her and I nodded in response. ”Is this like the Roulette Qualifiers that led to you winning the Bombshell Roulette Title two years ago?”

”I don’t think so, there was no mention of another qualifier in the card text and besides, I earned that shot in a Triple Threat Match, not a singles match.” I reminded Makayla and she nodded as she got the idea. ”Not sure how me and Luna were selected to be honest, even without counting the stuff away from the ring I’ve had a rocky year and Luna only has it slightly better than me because she at least won two of the three major titles.”

”Both reigns ending two weeks later in her first defence at that.” Makayla nodded as she got the idea whilst I leaned against the wall. ”And let’s be honest, if we were going to ask the bosses anything about the Bombshell Title Scenes, it would be how the likes of Bea Barnhart keep getting chances in spite of how low she is on the totem pole.”

”True, hell it was said on the card that Bea was going to be Ariana’s first challenger next week before Courtney tried to break Ari’s hand, sometimes I think they just pick the names for title matches out of a hat.” I responded with a nod as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Anyway, I had better get going, need to head back to the hotel, check out and get ready for the near forty minute drive back to Vegas, what’s been happening on your end?”

”Not a lot, mostly just getting stuff set up for your birthday on Thursday.” Makayla responded as she shook her head and I nodded, with everything that had been going on these past couple of weeks I had almost forgotten that my birthday was a couple of weeks after Ariana’s birthday, could be worse though, my birthday could be in December. ”Girls are doing good, dogs are being their usual selves, should be a chill night.”

”Let’s not jinx that, there’s still a forty minute drive between me and Vegas, a lot can happen in that time.” I responded with a nod and Makayla made a murmur in agreement. ”I mean hell, a lot happened tonight and I’m wondering what the hell will happen at next week’s show in Flagstaff at this rate!”

”Yeah, tonight’s episode was definitely one of the more chaotic in recent memory.” Makayla nodded in agreement as I made my way to the parking lot. ”See you when you get back Charlotte.”

”See ya.” I responded before I hung up on Makayla and headed towards my car.

After the year I’ve had? Winning the World Bombshell Championship to cap it off would be absolutely perfect, but I had two major obstacles in my path before I could claim the top prize in the division.

The first one couldn’t be more obvious, Luna had proven herself to be one of the best wrestlers to enter the Bombshell Division in years, the fact that she won the other two major titles in that time said it all really and she’s had bangers against my fellow Go Gym Graduate Ariana before, my match against her shouldn’t be any different really.

As for Julianna? In some ways she reminds me of myself when I broke the losing streak and went on to win the Bombshell Roulette Title, in that she’s already becoming cocky! Now, I’m not disputing that she’s earned the right to be cocky when you consider that her hit list includes Roxi Johnson but someone was going to bring her down to earth eventually, I guess that someone was gonna be me.

I just had to book my ticket to December 2 Dismember V first!

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 16th of November 2023, 11:00am

Another birthday has come and gone, and almost three years to the day where I signed my first contract with SCW to boot.

Looking back to when I signed that contract in late November/early December of that year? I had no way of knowing how my SCW Career would turn out, I had been spinning my wheels in SCU up to that point and I took a big gamble on myself when I decided to enquire with Mark and Christian about signing with SCW, a gamble that didn’t really start paying off until the following April where I finally broke my losing streak and win the Bombshell Roulette Title at that year’s Into the Void.

If you don’t know how  the rest of my story went from that point then you need to look up my name in the SCW History books, that one reign broke a record Sam Marlowe set with multiple reigns, that one reign put my name on the map as one of the Go Gym’s best graduates, that one reign’s length and number of defences has yet to have any of the reigns that have come since then come even close, not even my fellow Go Gym Graduate Ariana Angelos was able o get anywhere near it when she held the title.

Okay, to be fair she did lose the title in that Open Invitational Match but that’s beside the point, my point is what I’ve done since that reign ended.

The reign ended in early 2022 and I’ve ranted about how it ended so much that I’m sure you are sick of it, since then I’ve fallen into something of a rut, in 2022 alone I challenged for several of the Bombshell Titles including serving a Kayla Richards’ first challenger in first reign with the Bombshell Internet Title, Kat Jones’ second challenger in her one and only Bombshell Roulette Title Reign and one of the many Bombshells who failed to end Masque’s reign of terror, as for this year? Aside from entering myself in the aforementioned Roulette Title free for all my title aspirations pretty much dried up because I was so busy wreaking havoc on the rest of the roster, that only changed when I entered the Bombshell Internet Title Battle Royal during the last cycle and I wasn’t one of the final two.

The point to that little history lesson is this, I’ve been defined by that reign for too long, it’s time I added to my legacy, it’s time I won another title and this match against Luna is just the first step before that point!

”Great, I managed to sleep in on my birthday.” I grumbled to myself after I leaned over and saw the time on my alarm clock, I let out a yawn before I sat up in bed ready for the day ahead. ”I’d better get dressed before Cass pops over.”

”Charlotte are you up yet?” Makayla’s voice rang out from the other side of the door and I yawned again. ”I know it’s your birthday but your twenty seven, not seventeen, and I need to get breakfast ready for you.”

”I literally just woke up, give me a minute!” I called back as I shook my head before getting out of bed. ”And it’s not like you got yourself pregnant for my birthday for the second year in a row, right?”

”Oh hell no! The headaches I got from my family for basically treating two baby girls as a birthday gift was not worth it!” Makayla responded with a grunt before she opened the door right as I was starting to get changed, I’d say “luckily I still had my night clothes on” but this time last year wee were a married couple, I’ve seen her naked, she’s seen me naked, we’ve gotten to know each other on a biblical level you get the idea! ”Besides, after everything that transpired this year? You’re lucky that I’m even celebrating your birthday with you Charlotte!”

”Good point!” I responded with an annoyed sigh and Makayla nodded. ”Has Cassie arrived yet? She’s staying with Harper for the week last I checked, isn’t she?”

”Yeah, they are training for Rampage’s Season Finale on Friday, or as much as Team Hero will let Harper train after she was attacked by Mercedes, she should be here soon.” Makayla nodded in response before she left me to get dressed.

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 16th of November 2023, 13:00pm

Me and Makayla’s relationship may have been under repairs since Violent Conduct IX but one thing will never change, she’s a fantastic cook.

As far as birthdays went, this one was pretty low key, I got some PS5 Games (namely God of War Ragnarök and the new Spider-Man game) alongside some new streaming equipment as my gaming mic was on the fritz and I needed a new camera for both my streams and filming promos but it was still a good day, capped off with Makayla cooking me some delicious food.

Before all of that though? Cassie was coming over.

”Hey Cass, glad you could make it.” I greeted Cass and she grinned as she entered the house to be greeted by Garrus and Tali, and then her own dog Sandie came in and it was a doggie playdate before long. ”How’s Harper holding up?”

”Don’t know if she’ll be ready for Young Justice’s match at the Rampage Season Finale or her match against Courtney on Sunday but she’s fine otherwise.” Cassie responded as she shook her head and I nodded as I got the idea. ”More importantly? Happy Birthday sis.”

The fact that Cass was my half sister rather my younger cousin was still taking some getting used too, especially considering how I found out about that fact but we were on much better terms now than we had been for a good chunk of the year. ”Thanks Cass.” I thanked her before we went into the living room with the three dogs and sat down. ”And much like how Ari got her title match right before her birthday, I’m getting a World Bombshell Title Match qualifier just after mine.”

”Yeah, against the same Bombshell Ariana beat for the title to boot.” Cassie nodded in response before she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”Think you can beat Luna?”

”She’s a hell of a talent, but Luna has had the same problems I had when I entered SCW in late 2020, off course I didn’t end my losing streak by winning a title only to lose it two weeks later, I ended it by winning a title qualifier and then winning the title and holding it for nearly a year.” I responded as I shook my head and Cassie nodded as she got the idea. ”Can’t believe they brought back the Briefcase Bonanza Match for Peter’s last defence, hell at the late he’s going he might do what I did in the men’s division.”

”I think we won’t have much to worry about there unless he brings out an SCW Wrestler from obscurity to act as his manager for a few months, I can see it now: Peter Vaughn managed by Lucian Frost!” Cassie joked and I just shook my head with a chuckle. ”Though I doubt that will have the same end as your partnership with Matthew and Marty did.”

”I bloody hope not! Otherwise I’ll be tempted to sue Peter for Gimmick Infringement!” I joked and Cassie had a good laugh at that one. ”But seriously, I’m just ready to put the past year behind me, ending it by winning the World Bombshell Championship would be a pretty sweet way to do it, especially if it means ending Julianna’s winning streak before she gets too arrogant for Christian’s liking.”

”You’re still sore over that comment Christian made during the height of your reign, aren’t you?” Cassie asked and I frowned before nodding. ”I mean, he was kind of right.”

”Right or not, I had broken a six month losing streak by earning that title shot, defied everyone’s expectations by surviving my first defence only to get the title stolen from me by Bea Barnhart in the closest that idiot will ever get to winning a title, and set new records in the Bombshell Roulette Division, as far as I’m concerned? I fucking earned the right to be proud of my accomplishments and for Christian to judge me from on high for that is fucking bullshit!” I grunted in response as I shook my head and Cassie winced as she realized just how sore I was about that. ”And if I get past Luna and dethrone Julianna at December 2 Dismember V? all the better, because it means I can finally do it all over again.”

”Yeah well, just don’t go off the deep end this time.” Cassie responded as she shook her head and I gave her a curious look. ”There’s only so many veteran Bombshells I can run too, especially now that Keira, Jessie and Laura have retired and don’t get me started on Mercedes who I wouldn’t consider even if she gave Harper a taste of her wood.” Cassie added before realizing what she just said and facepalming. ”I really should’ve worded that better.”

”You think?!” I teased Cass and she just shook her head before the topic rifted elsewhere.

Outside the Go Gym, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 16th of November 2023, 21:00pm

*promo time*

Well, would you look at that.

”Gotta say, I was expecting to see action after being left off two Climax Control shows in a row, what I wasn’t expecting was said match to be a World Bombshell Title Qualifier.” I commented after turning my camera on. ”I guess the bosses realized that my birthday is in the third week of November and decided to give me this match as a birthday present, either way, me and Luna are about to go at it with a shot at Julianna DiMaria’s World Bombshell Title on the line.”

This will be good.

”So Luna, what it’s like being a one and done champion twice in one year? I wouldn’t know anything about that because my one and only reign cemented my name in the SCW Record Books as one of the longest reigning Bombshell Roulette Champions in SCW History, oh, I’m sorry, is this too soon?” I asked with a grin before shaking my head. ”It’s not too soon for me, I’ve spent the past two years trying to recapture the magic of my first full year as an SCW Bombshell and I’m sorry to say Luna that you won’t get in my way.”

Not at all.

”That’s not to discount you as a talent Luna, you’ve put on bangers against Ariana Angelos among others, you were nominated for Most Improved in the Year End Awards just a few weeks ago, the same award I won in 2021 alongside Future Star of the Year.” I added as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Oh, look at that, I’m comparing myself to you again Luna, there’s a reason I’m doing that though and it’s not because we’re former Bombshell Roulette Champions, it’s because we have more similar than you realize.”

Want me to explain?

”Think about it for a second Luna. I entered the company with a losing streak, you entered the company with a losing streak, I got my first win in an SCW Ring by earning a shot at the Bombshell Roulette Title, you ended your streak by ending Chrystal Hilton’s last ever reign in SCW, thanks for hat by the way, you did us all a favour by ensuring that we’ll never have to deal with she of many names having an iron grip on a title again, but that’s where the similarities end.” I added as I folded my arms. ”Because we both know all too well how difficult it is to hold onto a title after winning it, I had to work my ass off to hold the title for as long as I did, you? Well it’s like I said, you’re a two time one and done champ.”

Ouch.

”I mean, you did set your own record after you won the Bombshell Internet title, by having the shortest reign ever with the Bombshell Internet Title, truth hurts, doesn’t it?” I asked as I stretched my arms a bit. ”It’s because of those facts that we have two very different goals in this qualifier match, I want to win my first title since 2021, you’re just hoping that the third time will be the charm by taking the title from Julianna, it all comes down to one simple question, who wants it more?”

The billion dollar question.

”The Australian Bombshell who had her record setting reign ended in a bullshit manner by a bunch of attention starved morons or the two time one and done champion from Bew Orleans who is out to prove that she isn’t a fluke champion or a choke artist?”  I asked as I folded my arms before motioning with my head towards the Go Gym. ”My training at the Go Gym helped prepare me for matches like this but what do you have to back you up?”

Good question.

”From where I stand? The kind of determination that would make Jessie Salco in her prime do a double take but the real question is Luna, will it be enough?” I asked as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”There’s only one way that we can find out and that will be when we step into the ring on Sunday, as the one singles match sandwiched in between the two Mixed Tag Team Matches, but personally? I don’t think you have what it takes to beat me Luna.”

Sorry.

”I’m sure your ager to prove me wrong but I’m looking at it realistically, who had the record setting reign with the Bombshell Roulette Title? Me, who had the two shortest reigns of 2023? You Luna, and this isn’t going to go your way either.” I added as I folded my arms. ”Now, will our match be a banger? Off course it will, some of your best matches of the year was against Ariana and I graduated from the same wrestling school as her, but in the end? You won’t be able to keep up.”

It's that simple.

”With all due respect Luna? I’m looking at this match as it were a birthday present to myself, certainly helps that I’m filming this promo on my 27th Birthday.” I added as I grinned a bit. ”Feel free to wish me a belated Happy Birthday after I defeat you on Sunday Luna, because I’ll at least be gracious enough to leave you with all of your teeth intact, now, your pride?”

And with that I decided to wrap things up?

”That will be up for debate, but at The Path To Redemption Part VI: Happy Birthday To Me? One thing won’t be up for debate!” I stated as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”The fact that I will be the next World Bombshell Champion because the winds of change are blowing through the Bombshell Division and as the face of the next generation of Bombshells? That title is mine! See you in the ring Luna!”

I got in my car and drover off as the scene fades.

High Stakes XII was finally here and so was Krystal’s latest matchup against Seleana Zdunich, Krystal has won every other singles match against Seleana to date but this was the first time the two Bombshells would be facing off on PPV (not counting the open invitational match from earlier this year), can Krystal still get the win or will Seleana break her streak of bad luck?

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Tuesday the 17th of October 2023, 18:30pm

Why is it that ever since my first High Stakes match, all my opponents since then have proven to be a disappointment?

People may point to my little feud with Char Kwan as “evidence” that my reign wasn’t as strong as people remembered, but I’ll remind you, Char Kwan wasn’t just another defence for me, she made it personal! First by dispatching Azurine Vebbins (in what ended up being Azzy’s last match in SCW) with my Long Rest finisher and then by attacking Ariana to get to me! Keep in mind, that was before Sin made me admit that I had been using Team Go to get ahead.

Yes, there was some truth to that, I never said I was perfect alright? But even then, the attack angered me to no point because Ari was still an SCU Roster member at that point as was Carter, it still made my defence against Char Kwan all the more satisfying alongside the Future Star and Most Improved awards.

As for the past two years? Well, the fact that my feud with Mercedes was a dud goes without saying, that woman basically shows up to collect her paycheques whenever she’s booked these days and her half assed effort in the Battle Royal confirmed that! But Seleana? This isn’t like her, she’s at least put the effort in the last few times I’ve faced her, in singles and in multiwoman matches, hell she was Ari’s challenger this time last year but has her bad luck this year beat her down that bad?

Hopefully Seleana proves me wrong come bell time but I have my doubts! Hell I’d face Harper instead if given the chance because she still has a fire in her that’s yet to be put out!

”Okay, what’s in the news today? Nothing weird I hope.” I muttered to myself as leaned back in my chair at the kitchen table and went through my Twitter feed. ”The Israel-Gaza war is still raging, Makayla will have some strong opinions about that given that her family is Jewish, Bandcamp’s laid off half of its workforce, fuck you Epic Games……”

My train of thought was interrupted by a knock at the door and that combined with Garrus’s barking and he and Tali racing off towards the door to greet the new visitor caused me to fall over and land flat on my back, you’d think I’d be used to falling like this given how long I’ve been wrestling for but alas, I’m not. ”Charlotte can you get the door? I literally just got out the shower and I’m drying my hair.” Makayla’s voice rang out and I groaned as I started to get out of my impromptu laying position. ”Charlotte?”

”Just gimme a minute, fell out of my chair when the doorbell rang.” I called back before I stood up and dusted myself off, when I left the kitchen I saw Makayla at the top of the stairs clad in only a bath towel wrapped around her torso with a hair dryer in one hand and a concerned look on her face. ”I’m fine before you ask, but you might want to get dressed since we’ve got company.”

”Yeah, good point.” Makayla admitted before pointing to her still wet hair with her free hand. ”But I still need to dry off my hair before I put any clothes on, if they ask just tell them that I’ll be ready in a minute.”

”Fair point, wait, why did you have a shower now?” I asked before checking the time on my iPhone. ”It’s just gone 18:30.”

”I know, too make a long story short? A kitchen mishap occurred whilst I was cooking dinner and I got food stuff all over me, and I do mean all over.” Makayla explained with an exasperated sigh and I gave her a raised eyebrow. ”It was a lot faster to hop in the shower and grab a change of clothes whilst letting you handle the plating up for you, the girls and the dogs.”

”I’m not even going to ask how someone who graduated from culinary school managed to screw something up that badly whilst cooking and not have any burns on her body.” I responded as I shook my head in disbelief and whilst Makayla went into her bedroom to get dressed/finish dying her hair I went off to answer the door, and if I was still sitting down for some reason? I would’ve fallen out of a chair again upon seeing who it was, why?

Well, for one thing, it was a man who I hadn’t spoken too in months, not since he confronted me during one of the shows in Scotland earlier this year. ”It has been too long Charlotte.” Gabriel greeted me once I had gotten over the surprise and opened the door and the dogs raced out to greet him. ”I hope you are doing well after that whole Sin debacle.”

”Well let’s see, the last we spoke I pie faced you and we would’ve come to blows if not for SCW’s security team, I broke a young girl’s arm after the first public workout and you made amends with Jessie right before she won the Bombshell Roulette Title for the last time.” I responded before calling the dogs in and standing aside to let the German Shepherd and Golden Labrador return to the house. ”Anything I’m missing or is that the gist of it?”

”We’d be here for the rest of the night if we were to list all your indiscretions from this past year, I vote we leave it at that.” Gabriel responded as he shook his head and I quickly nodded in agreement. ”May I come in?”

”Err, sure.” I responded after hesitating briefly and letting Gabriel in, at this point Makayla had gotten her hair sorted out and had changed into her evening wear but when she saw Gabriel walking through the house? She nearly fell down the stairs from the shock, only just managing to regain her balance before she lost her footing. ”Hey, if you think your surprised Makayla imagine how I feel!”

”I don’t doubt that for one second Charlotte.” Makayla responded as she shook her head before hopping off the last few steps and walking up to Gabriel. ”I’m afraid you just missed dinner Gabriel, otherwise I’d cook you up something now.”

”That’s fine, I had dinner before I came over.” Gabriel assured my Greek Australian ex and she nodded in understanding. ”But I will take a cup of tea, I need to chat with your wife.”

”That’s fine by me, but I’m not officially back together with Charlotte yet.” Makayla explained and I suddenly got very, VERY uncomfortable because I knew exactly what she was talking about. ”We’re still figuring things out but for now? We’re housemates.”

”Yeah, that was another casualty of the bitch phase I went through, which I’d be regarding as a mistake even without the Sin shit attached.” I sighed in response as I rubbed my arm uncomfortably. ”Can we not dwell on that and just get to business? This is already uncomfortable enough as it is.”

”Of course, lead the way.” Gabriel nodded in understanding before I lead them into the kitchen.

Tuesday the 17th of October 2023, 19:00pm

Calling this moment surreal was putting it mildly.

The last time Gabriel paid me a home visit was when I last challenged for the Bombshell Roulette Title in singles competition, if you need a refresher? That was the time where I checked myself out of hospital barely a day after a brutal match (off Christian’s design because why wouldn’t it be) in a vain attempt at getting some training in.

To make a long story short? I had barely reached the Vegas outskirts before Christian called Gabriel to let him know what had happened and told me in no uncertain terms that the match against Kat Jones would be called off if I didn’t pass a concussion test, I passed said test but lost the title match but the Roulette Wheel must’ve had a sense of humour that weekend because it landed on Stretcher Match.

A fact that I’m sure had the bosses laughing their asses off at for the rest of the night.

Anyway back to the present day, with that bit of context in mind it should be no surprise that Gabriel’s home visits are rare, the first time he visited me was right after I had moved to the US from Australia and that was to see if I was settling in okay, aside from that and the aforementioned incident? Gabriel never really came to visit me and his other students because he was too busy running the Go Gym, more often than not when a graduate needed advice on an upcoming match they went to him which meant a visit to his office at the Go Gym.

In other words? It felt weird having my trainer sit at my kitchen table waiting for my ex wife to make him tea.

”Let’s get the basics out of the way first Charlotte, Keira filled me in on what happened between you and Sin.” Gabriel explained as he sat down at the kitchen table and I nodded before sitting opposite him and resting my arms on the table. ”If you had just been honest about the whole situation from the start perhaps things could’ve worked out differently.”

”That’s just it Gabriel, no one was more surprised at Sin taking over my body than me.” I sighed in I ran a hand through my long, blue hair. ”Marty and Matthew didn’t exactly kidnap me in the dead of night, tied me to a chair and then cast the spell that resurrected Sin in my body, for one thing considering Marty is an out of shape middle aged man who’s main form of exercise is likely waiting in at a fast food joint and that Matthew, despite being taller, heavier, and stronger than me, is a long retired wrestler? I’m pretty sure I could’ve taken them both in a straight up fight.”

”Assuming off course they didn’t come equipped with weapons in that scenario or threatened Rachel, or both.” Makayla chimed in and we glanced over at her. ”I was still in the early stages of my pregnancy at the time, I wouldn’t have been able to help Charlotte without jeopardizing the twins’ health if they did go for the loud approach.”

”I appreciate that, but we’re going to play “what if” in regards to their involvement we’d be here all night.” Gabriel nodded in understanding before he turned to me. ”Back to the matter at hand, I know you’ve been trying to rebuild the burnt bridge between us Charlotte but I needed to be sure of one thing before I came to see you.” Gabriel added and I nodded as I followed along with what my trainer was saying. ”I needed to make sure that you were genuine in your repentance, it’s as you said yourself, half the stunts you pulled between Blaze of Glory and Violent Conduct would’ve gotten anyone else arrested.”

”And yet here I am, still with a spotless criminal record, still a US Citizen with dual Australian citizenship, and don’t even get me started on how that would’ve affected any potential extradition process, don’t think I need to say that I’m not an expert in that field!” I responded as I shook my head and Gabriel nodded in agreement. ”It’s a weird business that we’re apart off, isn’t it Gabriel?”

”Indeed.” Gabriel nodded with a chuckle before Makayla brought him his tea and myself a coke. ”As for what triggered my desire to welcome you back to the fold Charlotte? It was a combination of things, your confrontation with Ari after her controversial actions at the start of the cycle, your promos against Roxi and the other competitors in the Battle Royal, the match against Georgie was hardly a factor because she’s the only new opponent you wrestled in singles action this cycle.”

”And if it weren’t for Ari dumping me out when I was trying to eliminate Tempest from the Battle Royal I’d possibly be facing two new opponents this cycle since the winner and the runner up of that Battle Royal are facing off at High Stakes, I know Ari and Luna will tear the house down but I’ve been trying to get back in the title scene for a lot longer than Ari so I can’t help but feel a bit bitter about it.” I explained with a frustrated sigh and Gabriel nodded in understanding. ”Speaking of Ari, is anything being done about her? I imagine that the last thing you want is a repeat of my situation from 2022.”

”I’ll spare you the details for now but I had to give Ariana an ultimatum last week, either she gets help or she’s no longer welcome at the Go Gym.” Gabriel explained catching both mine and Makayla’s attention, that wasn’t exactly a threat that Gabriel made lightly to say the least. ”From what her husband has told me she will be getting help following High stakes, regardless of whether she’s the Bombshell Internet Champion by then or not, but along those same lines? The other reason I came here today was to yell you that your ban from the Go Gym has officially been lifted, you can start training there again from tomorrow.”

As happy as I was to finally put that behind me? I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be that easy. ”Gabriel, have you forgotten how much I’ve managed to anger the other Go Gym Graduates since I attacked Cass? That mini program I had with Tempest, London Underground’s tag team match against me and Alexandra, my attacks on Ari, that one time I made Despy cry and when I outright admitted to using Team Go to get ahead, you may be willing to forgive me but I doubt the others will be so quick.” I pointed out as I shook my head. ”And that’s not counting the graduates who live outside of Vegas, I know Chelsea watches SCW programming often but Adrienne’s been quiet on Social Media for months.”

”I haven’t spoken to Adrienne since she left SCW, I don’t think she ever got over how fast her mental health declined during her time there.” Gabriel responded as he shook his head sadly. ”As for Chelsea? We keep in regular contact, her band’s in the middle of recording their label debut so she’s going to be busy for the rest of the year, but the others? That’ll take time but they’ll come around.” Gabriel added before he finished his tea and stood up. ”There’s only one thing left to do.”

”And that is?” I asked and I quickly got my answer as Gabriel offered me a handshake which I accepted without another word.

I knew the last few weeks of the year weren’t going to be easy, but since when was anything in life worth having easy?

*promo time*

What’s there to say?

”I didn’t think my disappointment could be topped when I learned that my opponent for this year’s High Stakes was Seleana, then there was not a single peep from Seleana and I was proven wrong.” I commented as I shook my head before motioning to the area around me. ”Hell, this desert is the only thing more barren than my opponent’s comments, I only hope that for night year’s High Stakes I get an opponent who actually gives a shit!”

Honestly!

”You know it’s bad when the most interesting promo battle I’ve had at High Stakes to date was with Char fucking Kwan! Like Mercedes and Seleana, I had history with Char, like Mercedes and Seleana, Char was the latest in a long line of challengers for my Bombshell Roulette Championship, like Mercedes and Seleana, Char faced me at High Stakes but unlike Mercedes and Seleana Char actually put a fucking effort in.” I commented as I shook my head. ”And you know it’s especially bad when I’m favourably comparing a never was like Char Kwan to a two time hall of famer and a future hall of famer! I can only hope that this isn’t a sign of things to come for Seleana because at one point I held her in high regard.”

How the mighty have fallen.

”Back when Seleana challenged me for the Bombshell Roulette Title at Disney World I considered her to be my toughest challenger up to that point, that throne was quickly taken from her when Keira stepped in but still.” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Fast forward over two years later and what a difference time has made, Seleana is on an irreversible slide into irrelevancy and I’m slowly but sure making a name for myself away from the Bombshell Roulette Division!”

Disappointing.

”I don’t really have much else to say at this point Seleana, other than the vague hope that my opponent for my fourth High Stakes will be a hell of a lot more interesting than my opponents for my second and third High Stakes!” I commented with a sigh as I shook my head. ”At least I’d get a decent promo battle against Luna if I was the runner up instead of Ari, at least I’d have some good back and forth with Laura but I can’t even say the same for you Seleana, and if there’s anything more disappointing than anything an apathic opponent for one High Stakes? It’s having an apathic opponent for two High Stakes in a row!”

Seriously!

”Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a former World Bombshell and Bombshell Roulette Champion in Seleana Zdunich! Only she’s never beaten me and this match is shaping up to be like the previous encounters only less interesting!” I commented with a frown as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”To go from someone who, in our first match, was an opponent who I thought stood a real chance of ending my reign, to someone who’s remained quiet for High Stakes is quite the decline Seleana, I hope you get out of this spiral before it’s too late.”

It’s that simple.

”After all Seleana, no one wants to see you become a Swedish Mercedes Vargas!” I commented as I started walking towards my car. ”And by that I mean a Has-Been who clings onto past glories in a vain hope that people will overlook what a joke you’ve become not realizing that it’s far too late for that! Trust me Seleana, that’s not a fate I wish on anyone but at the rate you’re going?”

And wth that I decided to wrap things up.

”It’s a matter of when, not if you finish that decline.” I said as I leaned against my car. ”But it’s not too late to turn things around Seleana, remember that as I continue on The Path to Redemption Part V: Always Bet On Me against Seleana because Seleana has proven time and again that she can’t hang with me! The winds f change are blowing Seleana and as the voice of the new generation of Bombshells? I will blow past you! See you on Sunday!”

I got in the car as the scene fades.

Krystal had managed to last a decent amount of time in the Battle Royal, outlasting favourites to win like Kat Jones and Sam Marlowe only to be eliminated whilst she was in the middle of eliminating Tempest! In the end the Battle Royal came down to Ariana and Luna with Luna managing to win her second title in SCW and, as per the rules of the match, Ariana would serve as Luna’s first challenger at High Stakes.

But where did that leave Krystal? Well, the Aussie was still on the card and taking on someone else who had come up short in the Battle Royal, namely Seleana Zdunich, Seleana and Krystal had faced each other before, most notably when Krystal was the Bombshell Roulette Champion and Krystal was in search of challengers in the lead up to her first High Stakes, can Krystal get the win and keep her High Stakes winning streak going?

Always next time, right?

Since my reign with the Roulette Title ended last February that’s been the story of my SCW Career to date as far as the title scene goes, since then I’ve only had a taste of the Roulette Gold twice, first when I challenged Kat Jones for the Roulette Title in the leadup to last year’s Summer XXXTreme and again when I entered myself in the Open Invitational Match at Inception VI at the beginning of the year, outside of those two instances? I’ve been hanging around the Internet and World Title Divisions since.

Which sucks because, due to how my reign ended, I have a lot of unfinished business in that division.

Tonight’s Battle Royal was another case of me competing in the Internet Title Division, no matter who won the match one thing was certain, that would be a new Bombshell Internet Champion at the end of the next and her first challenger would be decided immediately afterwards.

Much as I’d like to say that I’m entering my third High Stakes as a Bombshell Roster Member with that title around my waist? Ariana had other plans, she caught me whilst I was trying to eliminate Tempest from the match and if she was trying to help me throw out the biggest threat in the match? She had a funny way of showing it! In other words? I’m pretty sure that was Ariana’s revenge for the attack that set in motion the events that would take up most of my 2023.

Now Ariana’s got her wish in a way, she’s challenging for a title at High Stakes, not the World Bombshell Championship as she would’ve preferred (and that’s a whole new can of worms) but the Bombshell Internet Title as she’s challenging Luna in what’s sure to be an absolute banger! But that left one question for me, what was in store for me at High Stakes? This was to be my first Supercard since the whole Sin saga ended at Violent Conduct and unlike 2021 where I defended the Roulette Title against Char Kwan and 2022 where I had that one sided rivalry with Mercedes Vargas? I had no idea what, if anything, I was doing at High Stakes!

Gotta say, I’m not a huge fan of this feeling.

”The bosses should be releasing the card for High Stakes at any minute.” I commented to myself as I waited beside my rent car in the parking lot, I was flying back to Vegas first thing in the morning and I needed to get as much sleep as possible if I was going to be alert and ready for the flight. ”The last time I had no idea what I was doing at a Supercard was last year’s Violent Conduct in India and I ended up missing that show.”

”If only that was the only bad thing about that show.” Cassie’s voice rang out and I glanced over my shoulder spotting my Italian Australian half sister approaching me from behind. ”Or do I need to remind you of everything that happened at the feast Ari threw for Carter?”

”Nope, and I’m still pissed at myself for not noticing the signs a lot sooner despite being an abuse survivor myself.” I sighed in response before I turned to face Cass. ”And on that note, what are you doing here Cass?”

”Oh come on! SCW’s hosting a Climax Control right on my doorstep and you expect me to NOT buy tickets for me and my girlfriends?” Cass asked as she motioned over her shoulder and I glanced up, seeing Zoey and Becky talking amongst themselves across the parking lot from us. ”When I saw you hanging around I told them that I wanted to chat with you and that if they start having sex behind me I’ll be pissed.”

”I’ll let you know if they start getting frisky with each other.” I commented as I shook my head and Cassie grinned in response. ”So, what’s on your mind? You’ve seen for yourself that my bitch days are behind me.”

”I don’t know, you can still come off as a bitch at times on your Twitch Streams.” Cassie teased me and I just rolled my eyes in response. ”Though seriously? We were rooting for you to win the Bombshell Internet Title after everything that’s happened this year.”

”We? As in, you, Becky, and Zoey?” I asked with a raised eyebrow and Cassie nodded. ”Funny, because when I paid you a visit the week before my match against Georgie they were so deadest against me seeing you that you basically had to browbeat them into letting us talk.”

”Everything that’s happened since Violent Conduct changed that minds about you, including everything Ari has said over the past few weeks.” Cassie explained and I frowned at my former friend’s name being mentioned, but before I could say anything else? My phone went off and I grabbed it from my jeans pocket. ”Either that’s a text from Makayla or they’ve released the full High Stakes Card.”

”It’s the High Stakes card, and much like my last singles match, it’s against someone I’ve wrestled before and just had a match against.” I responded as I looked at the third match on the card and second Bombshell Division match. ”Though this time around? The last match literally just happened; I’m facing one of the other competitors from the Battle Royal.”

”Well, that rules out Luna and Ariana for obvious reasons, Tempest?” Cassie asked and I shook my head. ”Mercedes? Sam? Kat?”

”Okay, I’ve got a flight to catch in the morning and I don’t feel like playing the guessing game with you for the rest of the night, Sam and Mercedes are facing off AGAIN, this time in a regular singles match, Kat and Whisper are serving as Team Hero’s final opponents and Tempest isn’t even on the card.” I responded after going through the rest of the card and Cass nodded as she got the idea. ”And you’ve probably figured it out by process of elimination but I’m facing Seleana.”

”At least they are keeping some continuity between the other Battle Royal participants, and hey, an easy win for you is a lot better than being left off the biggest show of the year, right?” Cassie pointed out and I had to admit, she was right. ”So, what’s your take on the whole Ariana situation? From what I’ve seen and heard, they are calling her you 2.0.”

”I don’t know what’s going on with her, I haven’t spoken to Ari or any of the other Go Gym Graduates in months.” I responded with a deep breath and Cassie nodded. ”It’s not like I haven’t tried to reach out to Gabriel since the Sin debacle ended but he’s yet to return my calls, beginning to wonder if I nuked the bridge I had built with him when he confronted me in Scotland?”

”Hey if he was willing to make amends with Jessie after the whole “Jessie Deserves Better” debacle? Than nothing’s impossible, right?” Cassie pointed out and I had to admit, she had a point, Cassie was just shy of fourteen when that happened off course but she was still an avid SCW watcher. ”And hell, you threatened to end my career at Blaze of Glory yet we’re talking in the parking lot after Climax Control.”

”Yeah, can we just never speak of that again? And skip over that segment entirely if we ever find ourselves in a Blaze of Glory marathon?” I requested and it didn’t take my half sister long to agree to that idea, then I spotted something across the parking lot and grinned. ”I need to get going Cass, and besides, remember when I promised I’d warn you if Zoey and Becky started getting frisky?”

”Oh don’t tell me…………..” Cassie trailed off before she turned around, it wasn’t as if her girlfriends were making out or stripping each other’s clothes off, but the way they were looking and holding onto each other? There was foreplay and there was “these girls are literally seconds away from choking each other with their tongues”, Becky and Zoey fell into the latter category. ”For fuck’s sake! I TOLD YOU GUYS TO NOT START WITHOUT ME!”

I had to laugh as I saw Cass run across the parking lot to stop Becky and Zoey from going any further without her but I wasn’t about to stick around to see if that progressed into a three way, both because I had a flight to catch like I said and because whilst I’m related to Cass through marriage? I wasn’t about to stick around and watch my little sister have sex in public.

My relationship with Seleana from a wrestling point of view was an odd one, I didn’t wrestle the Swede for the first time until after Violent Conduct had come and gone, by which point I was well into my Roulette Title Reign and they had decided to give me a bigger challenge than any of the other Roulette Division regulars, well, the regulars at the time, I won that match and every other encounter I’ve had with Seleana since, including the five pack challenge which served as my last defence before my first High Stakes.

Following that match, there was a gap between matches between us, just over two years at that and right after my third consecutive elimination from the opening round of the Blast from the Past Tournament, during the early days of my bitch phase and before that we met in the Open Invitational Scramble, counting the Battle Royal this marks our sixth match against each other, I’ve only technically lost two, the Battle Royal and the Scramble, but the very nature of those matches meant that a whole bunch of people were going to lose those matches anyway.

Would the fourth time in singles competition be the charm? I doubt it but after Bea got her surprise win over Harper? I’m not leaving anything to chance.

The further I get from my first High Stakes back in 2021, the more it seems like a distant memory.

I’m not saying that I peaked in 2021, it’s just taken me a bit longer than I would’ve liked to regain any momentum from that year and considering that was my first full year in SCW as a Bombshell? That’s saying something.

As for this year? Do I even need to go over it again?

One things for sure as we speed towards 2024, that will be the year of my redemption, it’ll be a slow progress and the Sin debacle ended too late in the year for me to make any serious headway in the remaining two months, especially with the Christmas break that will follow High Stakes, still, if I can end my last Supercard of 2023 with a win? I’ll be a step in the right direction, especially when you remember that, off the five SCs that have taken place thus far, I’ve only won a match at one of those events.

Even then, Ruby’s incompetence cost me the match at Summer XXXTreme and as I said before, the Open Invitational Scramble was going to leave a lot of Bombshells on the losing side of things by its very nature anyway.

”Almost two full years since I asked Makayla to marry me.” I muttered to myself as I looked at the date of this years High Stakes on my computer’s Callender. ”A marriage that Sin nearly made me throw away in a vain attempt to get noticed, god I wish I had never recruited Marty and Matthew.”

”Let’s be honest, you’re hardly the only one to wish that.” Makayla commented as she shook her head and I glanced over at her as she sat on the couch. ”And it’s like you said, you likely would’ve met Cass again without their help, fate has its way with things sometimes.”

”I said it once and I’ll say it again, fate has a funny sense of humour, just look at how we got together officially.” I commented as I shook my head and Makayla frowned as she realized what I was getting at. ”You helped a borderline anorexic goth girl with undiagnosed autism escape her shitbag of a dad and just a few months after his trial for the murder of her mother among others, including Cassie’s biological mom, you started dating her, need I say more?”

”No, but you did leave out the part about me nursing you back to a healthy weight for a girl of your height, just saying.” Makayla reminded me and I had to agree, normally I kept my weight around the midpoint of the ideal weight for a woman who’s 5ft 5 anyway but it was still a lot healthier than I was after I escaped. ”Almost makes me wonder why you cheated on me with Jessica.”

I sighed, I knew this was bound to come up sooner or later but it was still awkward as all hell. ”Keira told you that I wasn’t completely in control of my actions, right?” I asked and Makayla nodded without hesitation. ”Besides, you had literally just told me that you wanted a divorce whilst I was in London for Into the Void, even without Sin I wasn’t exactly thinking straight!”

”And I could never bring myself to make the divorce official because I still believed that there was good in you.” Makayla pointed out that fact and I had nothing to say about that. ”Do you have any idea how much pressure I was under from my family to divorce your ass after you made out with Jessica live on PPV? Believe it or not, barring you from seeing the twins after they were born and not even telling you that I had gone into labour until I had Penelope call you on my behalf was a compromise!”

”A compromise that led me to using my old house keys to sneak into the house just to see them, I still don’t know how I didn’t wake up the dogs.” I commented with an exasperated sigh as I ran a hand through my hair. ”Maybe that was an early effect of Sin’s magic at work?”

”If that was Sin’s magic then we should count ourselves lucky that the worst thing it did to Tali and Garrus was give the doggos a good night sleep.” Makayla nodded in agreement as she glanced out to the garden where the German Shepherd Garrus was laying around with the Golden Lab Tali. ”I should probably let them in before I get started on dinner, nights are getting shorter and all that.”

”Yeah, sure.” I responded with a nod before Makayla stood up and made her way over to the door to the back garden. ”But for what it’s worth Makayla? I’m sorry that the first thing I did after you announced the divorce was have sex with another woman, if it makes you feel any better? Jessica hasn’t even tried to contact me since that show in Rome, I think she’s ready to wash her hands off the whole saga.”

”It’s a shame really, she was a good wrestler before her injury but her stint as your manager was probably her one and only chance at getting an SCW Contract.” Makayla commented as she shook her head and I nodded in agreement. ”And your apology is accepted Krystal.”

Makayla didn’t say much to me over the next couple of hours, her first priority was bringing the dogs in and once they were inside the house she got to work on dinner for me, the girls and off course, the dogs.

What was I doing in the meantime? Well, the conversation with Makayla had left me with a lot to think about.

*promo time*

Well, well.

”It’s funny, I didn’t think my Path of Redemption would lead me to so many familiar faces, yet that’s exactly what happened after my win over Georgie.” I stated as I held three fingers. ”Street Fight against Roxi? Check, last week’s Battle Royal practically being made up off my Rogues Gallery from this past year? Check, and now it’s come full circle because for the third High Stakes in a row? I’m wrestling someone I’m familiar with, g’day Seleana, we really need to stop meeting like this.”

This will be good.

”I mean seriously, there’s two Bombshells the bosses just love to book me against, if it’s not Roxi, it’s you Seleana.” I commented as I shook my head. ”Only, whilst my one and only win over Roxi is not something I want to talk about again, you’ve only failed to beat me twice Seleana and those two occasions were matches where we weren’t the only participants and no matter who won, there was going to be a lot of disappointed Bombshells, aside from those two matches? I’ve beaten you time and time again.”

Funny.

”And it’s funny, because if it weren’t for the fact that our last meeting was when I was going through my bitch phase? I’d be running out of new things to say about you Seleana.” I commented with a shrug as I looked into the camera. ”Because I can only wrestle the same woman so many times before I need a change of scenery! I will grant that our singles matches have been spaced out enough so that it has yet to get too old, but how long before that changes?”

Good question.

”Who knows? Maybe with new wrestlers like Harper and Jane and incoming talent like Kandy Kline? I’ll finally start getting some new competition once the dust has settled on High Stakes?” I asked as I folded my arms. ”Because during this whole cycle my only fresh competition was Georgie and Luna, Georgie was a disappointment and is only getting that shot at Alexandra because she got a fluke win over you a couple of weeks ago, Luna? I was so focussed on trying to get Tempest out of the Battle Royal that I didn’t get a chance to test myself against her before Ari threw me out, something’s gotta change!”

It's that simple.

”And that change starts at The Path To Redemption Part IV: The Chips Are Down! I’m not a gambling person but considering this is High Stakes and it’s taking place right here in Las Vegas? The gambling reference seemed apt.” I commented as I shook my head. ”But as the late, great metal god once said, if you like to gamble, I’ll tell you I’m your gal, you win some, lose some, it’s all the same to me!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Sorry, I had “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead stuck in my head just now, but it’s fitting isn’t it? We’ve faced each other so many times, you’ve never beaten me, only ever failed to win multiperson matches that involved us where we both lost, as much as I’d like to say, “that’s the way I like it baby, I don’t wanna live forever” and continue the Ace of Spades references? I’d be lying.” I stated honestly with a shrug. ”Because these rematches are getting old fast, the winds of change are blowing and as the voice of the revolution? If I never wrestle Seleana again for the rest of the year after I beat her at High Stakes? It’ll still be too soon! See you at High Stakes Sel!”

I walked off as the scene fades.

Krystal’s loss to Roxi Johnson in the Streetfight would not mean the end of her journey through the Climax Controls leading up to High Stakes, because Aleesha Jones had suddenly injured herself during training forcing the bosses to vacate the Bombshell Internet Title and scramble to find a new challenger for High Stakes and champion, what was their solution? An eight woman Battle Royal that would serve as the Main Event for the Go Home Show, and on top of all that? Krystal’s opponents were faces from her past:

Krystal’s former Saviors Ally Kat Jones, her fellow Go Gym Graduates Ariana Angelos and Tempest, Mercedes Vargas, Seleana Zdunich, Zoey Lukas, Sam Marlowe, and Luna Vanity! This is Krystal’s first title shot in months, her last only happening because she had opted to take part in the Roulette Invitational Match at Inception VI all the way back at the start of the year! Can Krystal make the most of this and win?

Backstage at Climax Control 374, San Francisco, California
Sunday the 1st of October 2023, 21:00pm

Remember my first High Stakes cycle as a member of the Bombshell Roster? Back when I was the Bombshell Roulette Champion and the only thing I had to worry about was avenging Ari following Char Kwan’s attack? Fun times.

So much has changed in the past two years that it’s not even funny! Never mind the fact that my friendship with Ari was shattered when I attacked her and Cass at Blaze of Glory earlier in the year, this year’s High Stakes Cycle has managed to make that look quaint by comparison and all in the same night.

How you ask? How about a night that ended in in the now former World Heavyweight Champion being fired for attacking the SCW Refs! I’ve definitely had my disagreements with Jasmine, Jacob, Drew and ESPECIALLY Dawn but not even at my worst did I ever strike them, hell the closest I got to putting a hand on them was when I threw Dawn out of the ring that one time! As for tonight’s events that directly affect me? I lost the Street Fight to Roxi after she caught me in a Small Package, I knew it was going to be a tough fight heading into that match but that wasn’t the end of it.

Because as it turns out? The World Heavyweight Championship wasn’t the only title being vacated this week, the Bombshell Internet Title had been declared vacant after Aleesha injured herself during training and whilst I have no love loss for that woman? I can only imagine how much that sucks! But that injury gave me and seven other Bombshells an opportunity because next week in the main event the new champion and her challenger for High Stakes was being decided in an eight woman Battle Royal and in case you can’t tell? I’m one of those eight women! But who are the remaining seven?

Kat Jones, Tempest, Mercedes Vargas, Seleana Zdunich, Luna Vanity, Zoey Lukas, and Ari! See a pattern there? With the exception of Luna these were all faces from my past, Kat Jones was my Saviours teammate for five minutes, Tempest was another Go Gym Graduate who faced me at Into the Void, Mercedes Vargas was someone who I had faced several times, most prominently during my Roulette Title Reign, Seleana Zdunich was another former challenger of mine who I had faced during the Unsolved Mysteries Tour and Zoey Lukas was my one and only opponent during this year’s Blast from the Past Tournament.

And Ari? Do I really need to go over my history with Ariana at this point? At one point we were pretty much inseparable, now look at us! Our last conversation ended in a shouting match!

So yeah, this match may as well be labelled “Krystal Wolfe faces her Rogues Gallery”.

”One Climax Control has thrown the bosses’ plans into chaos.” I whispered to myself as I looked at the Main Event on the New Card Text, considering that I was beginning to doubt whether I’d ever see title contention again for the rest of the year? This was definitely a pleasant surprise, circumstances be damned. ”Guess they weren’t as iron clad as we all thought.”

“Just the woman I was looking for.” I glanced up and saw Roxi approaching me and promptly pocketed my phone, the Hall of Famer was in her street clothes as opposed to me who was still in my wrestling gear having not had a chance to get changed due to the medics wanting to check on me following the Street Fight. “It’s been quite a night hasn’t it Krystal?”

”You can say that again, and judging from the look on your face, you’ve seen the card for the Go Home show?” I asked Roxi and the redhead nodded to confirm that. ”Then you know what’s ahead of me, with the exception of Luna it’s practically a who’s who of people I either pissed off or wronged during the time between Blaze of Glory and Violent Conduct!”

“And you’ve got Aiana’s volatile nature to deal with as well.” Roxi nodded as she got the idea and I frowned as I thought back over the past few weeks. “I can’t help but feel that I started her on this path when I told her that she wasn’t ready for the World Bombshell Title.”

”It’s either that or my attacks on her at Blaze of Glory and after Into the Void, take your damn pick.” I responded bluntly as I folded my arms. ”Putting that aside for a moment, you never answered my question, I nearly murdered you when we faced off in Rio, hell if I had I wouldn’t be here right now because my ass would either be in jail or an insane asylum yet you bear no grudge.”

“I thought I did when I said that I wasn’t one to hold grudges.” Roxi pointed out and I swiftly shook my head in response. “It’s clearly bothering you Charlotte, let’s hear it.”

”What do you expect me to say?! That because I brought Matthew Kennedy and Marty  McFarge out of obscurity for the final few months of my Roulette Title Reign I almost caused the end of the world?! That for a little over five months I terrorized Bombshells and young aspiring wrestlers alike?!” I asked bluntly as I messaged my forehead, feeling a migraine coming on as I thought back over those five months. ”Not to mention attacking my own flesh and blood to start it all! Cassie has forgiven me, Makayla has forgiven me, you have even less reasons to forgive me than they do especially since Makayla was pregnant with twins during the first two months of my bitch run!”

“That reminds me.” Roxi responded as I let out several deep breaths and I glanced up at her. “How are the twins doing? Cara and Zosia right?”

”Makayla was worried that there’d be health complications because they were born a week premature, thankfully both girls are healthy and growing up faster than I can keep track off.” I admitted as I brushed some hair behind my ear and Roxi nodded. ”But can we get back on track?”

“Off course, look, me and Keira acknowledge that we messed up when we didn’t check on you after your reign ended, if anything we’re trying to prevent history repeating itself with Ariana but you’ve seen how she’s reacted.” Roxi responded and I nodded along as she talked to me. “And most importantly? I know it wasn’t you behind the wheel during that match in Rio, I know it was Sin and she’s gone for good.”

”That’s it?” I asked with a mild scoff as I shook my head in disbelief. ”Sin might have been in the driver’s seat but it was still by my hands that the match in Rio went so dramatically wrong! And yes, I saw it all, Sin made sure that I had a front row seat for each and every atrocity she committed whilst in control of my body, but now that you’ve excised my demon, it’s water under the bridge?”

“I know it’s a lot to take in, but believe me Charlote, I meant every word of that.” Roxi assured me and my frown deepened as I looked the Hall of Famer over. “You and Ari are the future of this business Charlotte, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.”

”Who? You and Keira?” I asked as I went to walk away. ”Because that’s gone so well for Ari! If you excuse me Roxi, I need to get back to the hotel because I have a long flight back to Vegas to catch first thing in the morning and I want to be well……….”

The next part was something I didn’t expect, one moment I was walking away from the SCW Hall of Famer, the next? She had grabbed me by my shoulder and spun me around to face her. “I didn’t say we were finished.” Roxi stated simply as I stared her down. “No one said that carving a path like mine and Keira’s was going to be easy, you’ve hit roadblocks, Ari’s hit roadblocks, Cassie and Harp have hit roadblocks, it’s how you overcome those obstacles that matters, and this Battle Royal is your chance to get back in the title scene after being in a title drought for a good chunk of the year.”

”Beliieve me, the fact that I’ve only had two title shots this year compared to the three I had last year hasn’t gone unnoticed.” I responded as I shook my head.  ”Especially when Ari has had what? Three chances at winning a title since she lost the Bombshell Roulette Title? I know I was dealing with the Sin shit at the time but I wasn’t even on Courtney’s radar when she was picking her challenger for Violent Conduct IX and I’ve been a Bombshell longer than most of the women she listed!”

“Use that frustration and turn that into a win, that’s all I can tell you for now.” Roxi advised me and I nodded in response. “I’ll let you go for now but I’ll keep my eye on you, same goes for Keira and Ari, have a safe flight home.”

”Thanks.” I thanked Roxi before I headed off towards the parking lot, this wasn’t how I expected to end the last Climax Control before High Stakes but then again I doubted the bosses expected to be put into this situation, Michael’s firing, Aleesha’s injury, all that was left was for something to happen to Calvin and the chaos would come full circle in no time.

Calvin was set to defend his title this week as well, maybe he could break the curse that seems to have befallen his little clan?

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 2nd of October 2023, 11:00am

Not even twenty four hours after the Battle Royal was announced and a lineup change had been announced, and it’s not a Bombshell pulling out at the last minute either, rather? It’s a Bombshell being added.

That Bombshell was Sam Marlowe and in the process the bosses had managed to reinforce the idea that this match was me against my rogues gallery, if you remember, Sam was the one who eliminated me from the 2022 Blast from the Past Tournament essentially spelling the beginning of the end of my Bombshell Roulette Title Reign! A thing that many Bombshells were quick to celebrate because of how arrogant I was acting! Because how dare a young Bombshell have a record breaking reign and be proud of everything she had accomplished!

Why yes, I am still sore about that, why do you ask?

But more to the point? This match just got a little tougher, Sam may not have been the same Bombshell she was all those years ago but she was still a Hall of Famer for a reason and when you throw her name in with all the other Bombshells in the match?

Yeah, there was no getting around it, this match had just gotten a lot tougher.

”Just what I needed heading into my first title match since January.” I muttered to myself as I read the tweet from Christian, it wasn’t the fact that the match had been changed that had annoyed me, the “Card Subject To Change” disclaimer had been a part of wrestling for as long as I could remember, hell that was how I got on last year’s Violent Conduct card after Jessie didn’t feel like wrestling Sam yet again! It was rather the fact that said title match had just been made so much harder. ”They went and added another Bombshell who I’ve pissed off in the past year to the match.”

”Somehow I doubt Courtney is willing to give up the World Bombshell Championship just for a shot at you.” Makayla chimed in as she walked into the kitchen and I glanced up at my Greek Australian wife. ”So, who have they added to the Battle Royal?”

”Sam Marlowe.” I responded as I brushed some of my hair over my shoulder and Makayla nodded. ”So to recap, we have my Saviours ally for five minutes, my first opponent since Blaze of Glory, Tempest, Ari, Seleana, Mercedes, Luna and Seleana.” I added as I shook my head. ”Not counting Mercedes and Luna? It’s practically a who’s who of people I pissed off since Blaze of Glory.”

”Gotta admit, it’s a hell of a coincidence, but it’s definitely a coincidence, every woman in that Battle Royal is a former champion in SCW, well besides Zoey unless Queen for a Day counts as a championship, and Sam’s a Hall of Famer.” Makayla reasoned as she folded her arms. ”Besides, Sam was probably meant to be in the match from the get-go but Michael’s firing likely left the bosses not thinking straight, it would explain the typo in the card at least.”

”Typo?” I asked before I got my phone out to look at the card again, I hadn’t even noticed it at first but it was true, Kat Jones had been called Kay Jones and they had apparently neglected to correct it even whilst adding Sam to the match. ”You’d think they’d have someone proof read the card so mistakes like this wouldn’t happen.” I commented as I put my phone away and Makayla shrugged.

”Yet she who has never made a typo in her entire life even without proof readers cast the first stone.” Makayla responded and I went to respond but couldn’t find the words. ”Yeah, I thought so, now if you excuse me? I need to use the kitchen because I’m preparing lunch for us and Rachel.”

”Guessing Cara and Zosia have already been fed?” I asked and Makayla nodded to confirm that. ”You do that, I’ll go check on the twins before I start playing Mario Maker 2.” I added and Makayla nodded before I went off to do just that.

*promo time*

This will be interesting.

”I’m honestly not sure who was more surprised that this match came about, me and the eight other Bombshells in it or the bosses themselves.” I stated as I sat down on the hood of my Nissan Quash Quai. ”But whatever plans the bosses had for Aleesha Jones and her Bombshell Internet Title Reign at High Stakes went out the window when she got injured in training, I have no love lost for Aleesha and you’d only need look at my Twitter Exchanges with her to see why but I will say that I wouldn’t wish a title reign ending due to injury on anyone! That said, this does provide me with a hell of an opportunity because the winner of this Battle Royal and the runner up will square off at High Stakes in the winner’s first defence!” I stated before sighing. ”I just gotta outlast Kat Jones, Zoey Lukas, Tempest, Luna Vanity, Sam Marlowe, Ariana Angelos, Mercedes Vargas and Seleana Zdunich to do it!”

No pressure.

”Want to know what most of those women have in common? In some way or another, I’ve angered them over the past year with my actions between Blaze of Glory and Violent Conduct! And off course, they are in the Battle Royal but that goes without saying.” I stated as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”But if you ask me? There’s no one more motivated to win this Battle Royal than me! I’ve spent a good chunk of the year watching on the sidelines as other Bombshells got opportunities, from choke artists like Georgie Robertson to people who haven’t quite lived up to the hype like Laura Phoenix, do you have any idea how frustrating that was?” I asked hypothetically as I folded my arms. ”Well? I’m done waiting on the sidelines!”

Here we go.

”You ladies had better believe that I’m taking this opportunity by the horns and winning the Bombshell Internet Championship! Not even the combined strength of Tempest and Zoey Lukas will be able to get in my way!” I added as I hopped off the hood of my car and started to walk around. ”I’ve waited well over a year to get back into title contention, that ends this Sunday! And as I get ready to start going over the other women in this match? Why don’t I start with a returning face?”

You’re up Kat!

”I guess the saying’s true Kat: retirement in professional wrestling may as well be a paid vacation! Either that or you have nine lives like your namesake.” I stated as I looked my nails absentmindedly. ”We’ve wrestled once before, when you were the Bombshell Roulette Champion and I foolishly checked myself out of hospital thinking the Go Gym would let me train whilst injured! We both know how that ended but the question is, can you keep up with me whilst I’m healthy? One way to find out!”

Next up is Luna.

”And as for Luna? She’s the one Bombshell in this match who I can confidently say that I have no strong feelings about one way or another!” I stated as I shook my head. ”I don’t know what your alliance with Alexander Raven is about Luna but from what I’ve seen? He’s clearly the more talented one, he’s one title away from winning a Triple Crown, you held the Bombshell Roulette Title for a cup of tea and have struggled to get back in the title scene since then but since we’ve never wrestled? You’re the one who I want to face most because you are at least fresh competition! We’ll see how it turns out in any case.”

Next up Zoey.

”And speaking of underachievers, it’s Zoey! Tell me Zoey, how does it feel to be in the shadow of a sister who’s about to enter the Hall of Fame?” I asked bluntly as I folded my arms. ”Look, Alicia’s a bitch who’s never respected me but she definitely earned that Hall of Fame spot, but at the rate you’re going Zoey? The question becomes, will you join Alicia in the Hall of Fame when it’s all said and done? I don’t think so, and this Battle Royal will be another testament to that!”

Next up Tempest.

”Well, I had to address the elephants in the room at some point, because also in this match are two fellow Go Gym Graduates who have a grudge against me! I’ll get to the unstable one in a sec but Tempest is my main focus for now.” I said as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”I don’t think I need to remind anyone of the story behind my last encounter with Tempest, we had a PPV Match and everything! But the thing with Battle Royals Tempest is that the biggest threats in the match are logically targeted for elimination from the get-go, and I don’t see this ending any better for you as long as the other women in this match use their brains!”

Next up Ariana.

”And off course, there’s Ariana! The one who I attacked at Blaze of Glory and set the whole rest of the year in motion for the two of us!” I stated as I let out a deep breath. ”I’ll address that and my other actions over this past year once I’ve gone over everyone but Ari? Seriously babe, get some fucking help! You’re not doing yourself any favours when you go on rants like you did at Climax Control! My personal prediction for Ari? Either she makes it all the way or everyone gets tired of her shit and eliminates her, and the smart money is on the latter!”

Next up Mercedes.

”and we are back to the underachievers! But at least this one has been in the Hall of Fame! Twice as she’ll be so quick to remind you! And it’s funny because I had a small feud with Mercedes during last year’s High Stakes build!” I stated as I shook my head. ”A small feud that still makes me question why the bosses keep someone so obviously past their prime around! Mercedes? We’ve faced each other five times! And I only lost the first match because neither of us were involved in the deciding pinfall! That doesn’t bode well for you does it Mercedes? At least I can guarantee that you’ll get a random as fuck title shot before the end of the year!”

Next up is Sam.

”And speaking of last year, here’s someone who I had a serious hate boner for through most of 2022, Sam “sorry I’m late to the party” Marlowe!” I stated as I shook my head. ”Our last physical encounter was when I attacked you at the Into the Void event back in May, want to know why I never followed that up? Besides being involved in far more important shit with Keira? You didn’t impress me in either match, and so I deemed you not worth my time! I’m sure your eager to prove that assessment wrong Sam, but is it really wrong?”

Last up is Seleana.

”And here to round out the underachievers is Seleana Zdunich! How she went from losing a Roulette Rules Match to Georgie to being a potential Bombshell Internet Champion is beyond me!” I stated honestly as I threw my hands up in disbelief. ”Unless you were added to the match on your past merits off course Seleana but honestly? At the rate you’re going people will end up forgetting that you’re a former Roulette and World Champ! And that’s not a good sign for a former champion! Sure, I’ve had my ups and downs since my reign ended Seleana but at least I give a shit! At least I put an effort in unlike someone who just shows up to collect a pay check like you!”

Stacked match.

”Regardless of my personal feelings about any of the women un this match? You gotta admit, this match is stacked as fuck!” I added with a grin on my face. ”All but one of the women in this match have held titles during their SCW Careers and that one is debatable if you don’t count winning the Queen for a Day Match as a title! But regardless? I’m out to get back to a position I’ve been denied for too long, the position of title holder in SCW!”

Can I do it?

”But between a returning Bombshell and several other hungry women? Can I do it?” I asked as I started walking back to my car. ”There’s only one way we’ll know that for sure and that’s too head into this Battle Royal ready to throw down with some of the best women’s wrestlers on the roster and Mercedes Vargas! And trust me, I’ll do everything in my power to walk out the new champion!”

It’s that simple.

”And once the dust settles? Not only will I be the new champion but I’ll know who my first challenger will be! And looking at the other women in this match? It’ll be a hell of a match at High Stakes no matter what, that’s for damn sure!” I said as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Granted I don’t want to wrestle Mercedes Vargas for the second High Stakes in a row but I’ll take on whoever fate decides will be my first challenger! I’ve waited two young years to enter High Stakes as a champion again and I won’t let it go to waste!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Has there been an Australian born Bombshell Internet Champion in SCW before? I’m sure Mercedes will inform us one way or another but if I end up being the first after this match? Then that will make my victory all the sweeter!” I stated as I walked back towards my car. ”Because as far as title shots go? My 2023 has been as barren as the Nevada Desert and not nearly as hot! But as the face of a new generation of Bombshells leading the charge as the winds of change blow at The Path to Redemption Part III: Facing the Past? That’s about to change for the better! See you ladies on Sunday!”

I got in my car and drove off as the scene fades.

Following a win over Georgie Robertson at the first CC of the cycle Krystal found herself without an opponent for the next three weeks whilst she watched her friend Ariana go off the deep-end, well now Krystal was back in action as she had a return match from the Violent Conduct Cycle ahead of her, Krystal’s opponent? Roxi Johnson! Their last match ended with Krystal nearly killing Roxi whilst she was under the influence of Sin but now that she was free, maybe the match will be normal? Well, as normal as a Street Fight can be that is! Can Krystal win?

Krystal’s hotel room, Fresno, California
Sunday the 23rd of September 2023, 23:00pm

What a cycle this has turned out to be.

I watched my former friend lose her mind over night and destroy several friendships in the process, I saw Jessie’s cousin debut and subsequently lose her second match to Bea, I saw Mark make two hated rivals be forced to team with each other in the Main Event and promise to not attack each other during the course of the match or be fired, they say Christian has the sadistic sense of humour but I’m beginning to think that he gets that from Mark!

And to think, I thought my redemption was going to be the most interesting thing about the High Stakes Cycle at first.

Climax Control ended two hours ago and I’ve been in my hotel room since, just staring at the ceiling as I lay down on my bed, I’m a night owl, anyone who’s seen me game on Twitch or being Australian even though I’ve lived in the US for almost nine years now but neither my gaming habits nor me still not being used to the US Time Zones after all these years were keeping me up, no, it was the match that the SCW brass had seen fit to book me in.

A rematch against Roxi, in a Streetfight no less.

I’m sure you guys remember my last rematch against Roxi, I may not have been in control of my body at that point but I still had the best seats in the house to witness Sin nearly kill an SCW Legend using my body, since I came back I had been debating with myself whether I should count that as a win on my win/loss record for obvious reasons but now they were running it back again.

Remember what I said about Mark and Christian having dark senses of humour? Well, if tonight’s Main Event was Exhibit A in that trial, this rematch was Exhibit B.

”How exactly am I going to kill time for the next half hour?” I asked myself as I looked at my Twitter feed, aside from my tweet about the Roxi match I wasn’t up for much interacting, besides, dealing with the Bombshell Internet Champion’s lack of filter was too much of a headache right now. ”Still not sure if I’ll find a place for me on the High Stakes card, at least last year I had that joke of a rivalry with Mercedes to tide me over.”

My train of thought was interrupted when I got a video call from Makayla and got out of bed before heading straight to the laptop, why? Because I really disliked trying to do video calls on my phone and once I woke up my laptop I answered the call. ”Hey Charlotte.” Makayla greeted me as I sat down in the chair, my hair was a mess from lying on the bed but frankly I couldn’t be bothered to give it a brush. ”I take it you saw next week’s card?”

”You mean the latest evidence of the bosses love for putting me against Roxi?” I asked as I ran a hand through my hair and Makayla nodded. ”I’m surprised their doing this rematch so soon, it’s barely been a month since I last faced Roxi and we both know how that match ended.”

”I’m still never showing that or the public workouts to our daughters whilst they are still young, when they get older? You can answer their awkward questions then.” Makayla responded with a frown as she brushed some hair over her shoulder. ”Frankly? Between that and the whole thing with Ari I’m wondering what the hell’s gotten into the Go Gym’s Water Supply lately!”

”I haven’t been to the Go Gym in months so your guess is as good as mine.” I responded with a shrug and Makayla conceded that I had a point. ”Maybe the issue is that the Go Gym grads are reluctant to talk about their problems? I know that was part of the reason I snapped and Ari’s had mental health issues for years, who knows what the others are hiding.”

”If you want to play armchair psychologist with either Tempest or Fenris? Be my guest!” Makayla responded as she shook her head and I had to admit she had a point. ”Saying that? Didn’t Fenris tweet about heading back to Iceland?”

”I think so, and his injury might have a lot to do with it, either way we probably won’t see him again until we’re well into 2024.” I responded with a nod as I brushed some messy hair over my shoulder. ”But back to Roxi, if we can even count the Sin Match then that means I have one win over her, a win that comes with one hall of a fucking caveat.”

”True enough and based off Roxi’s reaction? Maybe she doesn’t count it?” Makayla suggested and that was a possibility, pretty much the only time I’d ever want a win over a Hall of Famer to not count to boot. ”We should probably worry about whether that match counts down the road, when we’re going over your career with our daughters and all that.”

”By “down the road” I take it you mean “when they are old enough to either go to college or start training to become wrestlers” and not “a few months from now”?” I asked Makayla and she nodded to confirm that that was what she meant. ”Either way, getting an actual win over Roxi will get me on the right track! Georgie’s good but she’s nowhere near Roxi’s level.”

”Which is probably why she’s stuck in perpetual challenger purgatory right now.” Makayla nodded in agreement before yawning a bit. ”We’ll talk more when you return to Vegas tomorrow, I know you tend to stay up late Charlotte but try to get an early night.”

”I’ll try, good night.” I responded before we ended the call and I put the laptop to sleep, not long after that? I was in bed, trying to get some sleep this time.

Does time heal old wounds? We’ll find out next week.

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 25th of September 2023, 16:00pm

So, away from SCW, what have I been up too since I got my body back from Sin?

I’ve mostly been trying to repair the burned bridge with the Go Gym but so far they haven’t returned my calls, not about to pay them a visit either after Ariana’s recent drama so in other words? I’ve been keeping to myself since I got my win over Georgie earlier in the cycle.

How has that gone? Well, me and Makayla aren’t back to being a lesbian couple, much less a married one, but she hasn’t thrown me out of the house despite everything I did between Blaze of Glory and Violent Conduct so we’re still on good terms, Cassie has definitely matured a lot since she joined EWC which was evident in how quickly she had accepted my apology but the fact that we were half sisters rather than older cousins was still taking some getting used too.

Her girlfriends on the other hand? Yeah, Becky and Zoey still haven’t come around, and I haven’t even tried with Cassie’s stepparents so yeah, it was a slow healing process.

”Jessie’s launching her bar and grill this week, maybe I can convince Makayla to attend.” I muttered to myself as I leaned back on the sofa and looked at my phone, our German Shepherd Garrus was laying at my feet being a relatively chilled out dog. ”Any ideas Garrus?” I asked the doggo and he looked up at me with a tilted head.

”If I can get a babysitter for Rachel and the twins? Definitely, if not? We’ll have to go another time.” Makayla commented as she entered the lounge with a cup of coffee for me which I gladly took. ”Said babysitter would have to be good with dogs off course, I’d ask Ari since her house is turning into a Noah’s Arc of sorts but we’ve both seen how quickly her mental health has gone downhill.”

”Remember me and Ari’s match last year at the Christmas Special? The one against Masque and Blackthorn?” I asked with a slight shudder and Makayla nodded in response. ”She told me that her family has a history of mental health problems of the women’s side, nothing serious enough for a member to be institutionalized, at least as far as she knows, but still pretty scary.”

”No doubt about that.” Makayla commented as she shook her head. ”She always seemed so normal when we spoke, do you know if she’s ever told anyone else?”

”Carter would be my first bet for obvious reasons, Gabriel too but I haven’t spoken to him since our little chat in Scotland.” I added before I took a sip from my drink. ”I’ll worry about her another time, but for now I’ve gotta worry about wrestling one of her idols.”

”Surprised Roxi hasn’t said anything about Ari yet, she’s taken a special interest in her since their title match.” Makayla admitted as our Golden Labrador Tali joined us in the lounge, she did a big stretch before laying down across from Garrus. ”That’s right Tali, lay down in the most inconvenient spot for momma to get up from.” Makayla commented as she stroked the dog and Tali wagged her tail. ”Almost miss the days when I was in the final stages of my pregnancy, the dogs didn’t get in the way as much back then.” Makayla admitted as she let out a sigh. ”And I do wish you were there for the twins’ birth.”

”Between everything that was going on with me at the time and your family? It would’ve taken an army at least.” I responded with a frown as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”So, how exactly did you address the whole “lack of a father” thing whilst at the hospital for the birth? Surely some of the nurses had to be curious.”

”I’ll admit, that wasn’t something I planned for, I was hoping your prescience would explain it once it became clear that you were my wife but we both know what happened there.” Makayla sighed as she thought back to the fateful day. ”I eventually decided “fuck it” and told them the truth, that I was a lesbian who got artificially inseminated, some older nurses did give me some judging looks but the younger ones were understanding.”

”Sounds about right.” I muttered with a grunt as I started stroking Garrus with my foot, after a few minutes of that he rolled onto his back expecting a belly rub and I was happy to give him one. ”So, what does your family think of the whole Sin situation? I know your family’s Jewish but I don’t know much about the religion outside of the basic facts.”

”To be fair? I don’t really practice the religion. I mean, I’ll attend a cousin’s Bar Mitza if I’m invited [but that’s not something that comes around regularly.”/color] Makayla admitted with a shrug and I nodded as I got the idea. ”Some are sceptical if that was really what happened, Sin didn’t really behave like a demon would normally in their eyes, Penelope pretty much shrugged and went “that explains a lot”, so far? She’s the only one who knows that you’ve moved back in with me.”

”Guess the others will find out when………” I caught myself mid-sentence and Makayla gave me a raised eyebrow. ”If we get back together, I’m pretty sure I would’ve noticed if you had started dating someone else by now.”

”Penelope tried to get me to sign up to a number of different dating sites after I filed for divorce, Greek dating sites, Jewish dating sites, Greek-Jewish Dating Sites, Pregnant Women dating sites, yes, they actually exist, and off course, lesbian dating sites.” Makayla sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. ”I kept telling her that it was too early for me to move on, I eventually admitted that I was hoping things would work out when I was in hospital after the I gave birth to Cara and Zosia.”

”Gee, I wonder why she didn’t tell me when Penelope called me to tell me that the birth had gone well considering the twins were a week premature.” I muttered to myself and Makayla just shook her head. ”You’re not going to pull a similar stunt for my twenty eighth birthday, right?”

”Oh god no! setting aside the reaction from my family when they learned that I had gotten pregnant artificially as a birthday present to you? I wasn’t prepared for how hard pregnancy actually is! Half tempted to ask Bella how her pregnancy went if I run into her to be honest.” Makayla admitted as she quickly shook her head and I nodded in understanding. ”Besides, I’m going to do something a bit more low key this year, after the crazy year we’ve had? I just want the final two months to be relatively normal!”

”No argument there.” I nodded in agreement before Makayla went off to make a start on dinner.

Outside Hero Academy, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 25th of September 2023, 21:00pm

*promo time*

Oh boy.

”To whoever came up with the phrase “time heals old wounds”? if I ever meet you, I want to punch you in the face.” I commented as I stepped into view outside Hero Academy. ”Because I’ve got a lot of old wounds that time is really dragging its heels when it comes to healing! But this Sunday? Maybe I’ll get a chance to heal a wound that was inflicted relatively recently, not on me but on one of the women who own the training school behind me!” I added as I motioned with my head towards Hero Academy. ”It’s been a hot minute since we last wrestled, hasn’t it Roxi?”

Here we go.

”The old wound I’m referring to is, off course, our last match, and that’s if you really count it as another chapter in our unofficial rivalry considering Sin was in control of my body at the time.” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”I’m not going to sugar coat it Roxi, I know there’s blood on my hands, not just your blood but every person I’ve hurt since Blaze of Glory, your blood just so happens to be the most prominent!” I stated as folded my arms. ”Not to mention a blood debt that I’ll be paying well into the new year thanks to the SCW Brass taking that huge ass fine out of my paycheque!  But you’ve seem to have forgiven me for all that.”

Why?

”What exactly have I done to earn your forgiveness Roxi?” I asked bluntly as I glanced over at the school. ”I wasn’t the one who expelled Sin from my body, that was Whisper, and since then the most I’ve done is kicked Georgie’s ass at the start of the cycle!” I added before shaking my head. ”And frankly? Bringing up your loss to Georgie at this point is like beating a dead horse, except some Bombshells are continuing to beat it as it’s being taken into the glue factory! My point is Roxi, I’ve been on a Path of Redemption since Violent Conduct, and you have no real reason to forgive me, even less reasons than Keira or Ariana!”

Among others.

”Let’s be honest, you could probably build a whole new wrestling promotion with the list of people I’ve pissed off this year alone! Just give me a better name than “Krystal’s Enemies Wrestling” and we’ll be all set!” I added as I shook my head. ”Which off course brings me back to the original point: why? Why the sudden forgiveness? Because so far I’ve done fuck all to gain anyone’s trust back! Anyone in the wrestling business that is, it’s surprising how forgiving family can be after they learned that you’ve been possessed by a demon for at least a year and a half!”

Strange world we live in.

”Throw in the fact that the bosses, in their infinite wisdom and unending sadistic sense of humour, made this match a street fight when it’s not even been a month since THAT No Disqualification Match! The matches are basically the same, it’s just that you come as you are for the Street Fight.” I added before looking down at my attire which, whilst casual, wasn’t really suited for combat. ”And no, I won’t be wearing this outfit to the match, not really practical combat attire but then again, what is?” I asked before running a hand through my hair. ”But there is one thing I know for sure Roxi, you’ve been on a downward spiral as of late, you lost to Julianna DiMaria after getting blasted with Brass Knuckles for fucks sake, I won’t be as sneaking as to smuggle them in by hiding them on my person, but I will do whatever it takes to win Roxi!”

And that’s the truth.

”And honestly I’m still not sure how Julianna walked around with those things in one of her wrestling boots, but more to the point Roxi? Like it or not and circumstances be damned, my win-loss record says that I have a win over you in the last cycle, what’s stopping me from doing that again this Sunday at Climax Control?” I asked as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”Not in the exact way mind you, I don’t normally go out of my way to murder Hall of Famers in a wrestling match! But one way or another Roxi? This match is mine!”

It's that simple.

”I just know that whole Sin saga is going to haunt me for the rest of my fucking life, but at least this Sunday I can put one of those lingering demons to rest.” I added as I held up a finger to the camera. ”Whether or not my last match against Roxi counted! I’m sure Team Hero has their own opinions about whether or not that match should count and I have my own, but a win this Sunday will at least allow me to excise that demon from my thoughts!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”Roxi? This Sunday our Streetfight is more than just a wrestling match, it’s about healing old wounds.” I said as I looked at Hero Academy again. ”You and Keira took over Cassie’s training after Matthew’s wrestling school imploded, for that I thank you, but this is more for me than anything else Roxi and the sooner you realize that? The better, because the Winds of Change are blowing in SCW and I, Krystal Wolfe, am leading the charge for the new generation, will I continue my success at The Path To Redemption Part II: Old Wounds? One way to find out, see you on Sunday!”

I got in my car and drove off as the scene fades.

Only one word could be used to describe Krystal’s match against Keira, climatic! But in the end, Sin had been purged from Krystal (and the world) for good leaving the Aussie Bombshell to ruse the last few months of 2023/early 2024 to try to rebuild her reputation in SCW after going scorched earth on it for months on end! And that first step began at the first Climax Control of the High Stakes Cycle where Krystal was taking on Georgie Robertson is singles action! Georgie was coming off an unsuccessful bid to end Jessie Salco’s reign with the Bombshell Roulette Title, a reign that would end at Violent Conduct at the hands of Alexandra Callaway, and was left off the Violent Conduct card as a result, can Krystal get back to her winning ways?

Krystal and Makayla’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 28th of August 2023, 18:00pm

Where do I even BEGIN to describe the last five months of my life?

I thought I was in control of things as we headed into this year’s Blaze of Glory, I had been recruited into The Saviours, I was all set to settle my score with Chelsea LeClair, Makayla was just two months away from giving birth to Cara and Zosia, our beautiful twin baby girls and Cassie was going to be my guest that night on top of all that.

I don’t think I need to remind you of how that night ended.

From officially joining The Saviours at the start of the night to my attack on Cassie and then Ariana? I still thought I was in control, Cassie was still coming off that whole saga with MPW and it was clear to me that my attempts to get through to the then nineteen year old weren’t working, then I dropped the girl I now know as my half sister with a Superkick in the middle of the ring and threatened to end her wrestling career with a steel chair attack! And when Ariana ran out to save the day? I laid her out too, hitting my Running Powerbomb on her and driving her into a stack of steel chairs.

I THOUGHT I was in control, but in reality? Sin was manipulating my actions, I was practically a puppet on her strings, taking advantage of my issues at the time, namely Cass and MPW and Ariana seemingly replacing me as the Go Gym’s new golden girl, and basically using them to fuel my actions! As for those public workouts were I hurt so many up and coming female wrestlers that I’ve lost count? Yeah, Sin had a hand in those too.

And don’t even get me started on breaking Ruby’s arm! Waking up from that nightmare to find a massive fine from the bosses waiting for me, wasn’t fun! But the key part is? That’s all over, Sin is gone, I talked to the bosses and they agreed that they would take a cut of my pay check each month until the fine is paid in full! Thank god I’ve got the Twitch and YouTube Channel to fall back on because I’d be broke otherwise!

Well, that and the money Jenny has given me over the years, as tempting as it was to spend that mountain of cash at once? It was instead saved up in my bank account for emergencies, something Jenny’s lawsuit almost ruined before Makayla stepped in.

And speaking of Makayla?

”Will she even take me back?” I muttered to myself as I walked up the driveway to the house, I don’t think I need to tell you how difficult things have been but to summarise? My actions under Sin’s influence caused me to miss the birth of the twins, almost cost me my marriage to Makayla, and got me barred from seeing the twins to the point that I had to use my key to get in the house just to see them, throw in the fact that it was late at night and yeah, Makayla was probably fearing the worst. ”After all the fucked up shit I’ve done since Blaze of Glory?”

I didn’t even reach the front porch before the front door opened and Makayla stepped out, it didn’t take me long to realize that our dogs Tali and Garrus had sensed my arial and were at the door forcing Makayla to push her way past them. ”Keira already explained everything that happened in that match, if it could even be called that.” Makayla stated as she looked me over, compared to how she looked in the weeks following the twins’ birth? She was back to her normal look for lack of better term though her long wavy blonde hair was currently tied up in a ponytail. ”But I still want to hear it from you before I let you into the house Charlotte, and before you ask? It’ll be a while before I feel comfortable enough to say that our relationship is back to what it was before Blaze of Glory.”

”To be honest? I had a feeling you’d say that.” I sighed as I folded my arms and Makayla nodded. ”Where do you want me to start exactly? Because this shit dates back to the week before you told me that you were pregnant with the twins.”

”I know about that and Marty and Matthew sneaking into our house to start that whole saga! Keira and Roxi interrogated them after all was said and done.” Makayla responded before shaking her head. ”Or at least tried to interrogate Marty, he apparently lost his mind at some point while Sin kept him prisoner and was ultimately carted off to a mental institute, likely for the rest of his life.” Makayla admitted and I nodded in response remembering that as clear as day. ”Look, I’ll make this easy for you, Keira told me that your actions for the most part were influenced by Sin, everything from your attacks to that relationship, if you can even call it that, with that Jessica woman, was she correct?”

”Basically yeah, and I know it doesn’t excuse most of the stuff I did since Blaze of Glory but it is what it is.” I responded with a nod as I brushed some hair over my shoulder. ”And as for Jessica? The last time I spoke to her was on that fateful night in Rome, I don’t know where she’s disappeared too because Keira didn’t tell me and when I tried calling her she blocked my number.”

”Who needs enemies when you have friends like that? Benefits or not.” Makayla commented as she shook her head before folding her arms. ”And based on that, it’s safe to assume that the “friends with benefits” situation you had with her is over?” Makayla added and I nodded in response. ”You still made out with another woman on PPV before I even had a chance to file the divorce papers and whilst I was heavily pregnant, if I’m going to let you back into this house I need your assurance that something like that will never happen again and yes, that includes the attacks as well! Do you understand how big a headache you gave me whilst I was trying to defend you on Twitter?!” Makayla added before frowning. ”Or whatever that idiot calls it nowadays.”

”Kay? You know how short my temper is, and you know that’s a knock on effect from my fucked up childhood as well.” I responded bluntly as I blew a stray strand of hair out of my eyes. ”For those reasons I can’t guarantee that I’ll never lose my temper on Climax Control or an SCW PPV again but I can guarantee that it’ll never get that bad again for as long as you live.” I added and Makayla considered my words for a moment as she folded my arms. ”I know I fucked up everything I had going for me before Blaze of Glory, I’m trying to make amends for that, at least let this be my first step!”

That was all the convincing Makayla needed because she let me into the house without hesitation, off course the dogs were there waiting for me as was Rachel and whilst I had a long road to redemption in front of me? It was at least a start.

The next step was the Go Gym, easier said than done considering I kicked off this whole saga by attacking a fellow Go Gym Graduate, disrespected Gabriel when he confronted me in Scotland and tormented Despy over his love of Gummi Bears,  and don’t even get me started on flat out admitting that I had been using Team Go to get ahead over the past three years or so.

Should I even bother?

Regardless of the answer to that above question, I had one more bridge to mend before I could really get started, at the time I knew her as my younger cousin from just outside of Adelaide who had followed me into the wrestling business during the peak of my Roulette Title Reign and was having great success on her own, now I knew that she was in fact my younger half-sister, to make matters worse? I had missed her twentieth birthday back in July.

There was no getting around it, I needed to make amends with Cassie and fast.

Outside Cassie’s home, Reno, Nevada
Tuesday the 5th of September 2023, 16:00pm

Bet your wondering why it took me a week to do this, especially considering Reno’s a (relatively) short drive from Vegas at just under seven hours, well, I tried calling Cass first.

Every time I got through, it was either Becky or Zoey who answered and they would quickly hang up when they heard my voice, I tried twice more on Sunday (before I learned that I was facing Georgie Robertson next Sunday) and yesterday but when those attempts failed? I finally said fuck it and took the long drive up to Reno, hell I would’ve gotten here sooner but I needed to stop by a diner in Tonopah (a small town in between the two cities) to grab breakfast, but the point was? I was here now.

And Cassie’s girlfriends weren’t exactly pleased to see my car pull up to the driveway.

”Girls, I literally just drove straight from Vegas to here, I know you lived in Vegas before you moved to Reno, you know how much of a trek that is.” I commented as I messaged my forehead in annoyance whilst Zoey and Becky blocked my way onto the path to the home the three girls shared, Becky wasn’t a wrestler, she wasn’t even an athlete, Zoey seemed to be eternally in Hero Academy despite being a student there for just under a year, in other words? I could take them on paper but attacking them unprovoked would just add more fuel to their fire. ”Can you stop being unreasonable and let me talk to Cass!?”

”Oh I’m sorry, I must’ve missed the part where not letting a person who attacked my girlfriend unprovoked she her was unreasonable!” Zoey responded as she rolled her eyes and I ran a hand down my face. ”And yes, we remember that MPW saga well, but that doesn’t excuse you threatening to end her wrestling career!”

”And don’t even get me started on the mental trauma that attack caused her!” Becky added as the Aussie walked up to me. ”We’ll give you the money to refuel your car for the journey back but you just wasted those six-seven hours, go home!”

”Or you two can stop being such bitches and let me see my half-sister!” Cassie quickly interjected and the girls turned around to see Cass marching up the pathway with a frown on her face. ”Seriously, I’ll be twenty one next year! I don’t need you to babysit me!”

”But the whole saga started with Krystal attacking you Cass!” Becky pointed out as she turned to my half-sister but even I could see that Cass wasn’t backing down from this. ”We don’t care if she’s your half-sister, we’re not letting you see her!”

”And I’ll just remind you of who had the metaphorical balls to get revenge on Krystal during the Summer XXXTreme build up.” Cassie responded bluntly and once they realized that they were fighting a losing battle Becky and Zoey stepped aside to finally let me onto the property. ”Charlotte? Follow me, Becks, Zo? I don’t know, go play with Sandie in the back yard or something but give us space, got it?”

”Got it.” Zoey nodded reluctantly as did Becky before the two girls went on the merry way.

Cassie’s living room, Reno, Nevada
Tuesday the 5th of September 2023, 16:45pm

I wasn’t sure where Becky and Zoey went after my little spat with them, all I knew was that they were gone for at least two hours and since Sandie spent time with us in the living room rather than with them as Cassie suggested? It was safe to say that they weren’t playing with the Golden Labrador.

”Let me get this out of the way, I wanted this chat with you since that incident in Rome, it didn’t exactly hurt that I celebrated my twentieth birthday earlier in the week either.” Cassie admitted as she plopped down on the sofa and I sat opposite her. It’s funny, I never really noticed her Mediterranean looks before Cass discovered that she was half Italian but well? It was kinda obvious, Cass always had darker skin tone compared to others in the family, even her mom but I just assumed that she tanned a lot. ”When I saw that thing with Chelsea it just kinda clicked, you know? But obviously I was back stateside by then.”

”And even if you could stick around, you were preparing for your debut at that Scars and Stripes show for EWC.” I nodded as I got the idea and Cassie said nothing as she started stroking her dog. ”Look Cass? I know there’s a lot to cover even without getting into the attack at Blaze of Glory so I’ll just start there, okay? I’m sorry for everything that happened that night, you still needed a wakeup call after the saga with MPW but that was way over the top.”

”Don’t even get me started with MPW! I’m still pissed that I never got a rematch for the TV Title before that fed closed!” Cassie groaned as she messaged her forehead in annoyance and I said nothing in response. ”Otherwise? Apology accepted but there’s one other elephant in the room we need to address, namely the fact that we’re sisters instead of cousins.”

”You have any idea how often that scene has played in my head since that night? And that just leaves me with some big questions, like why did your mom, or aunt, deceive you?” I asked and Cassie quickly nodded in agreement. ”And was your mom a victim of my dad’s?”

”Thing is? I can answer both questions with one word: yes.” Cassie responded as she let out a deep breath. ”I have no fucking clue what he timeline was between my mom’s death and yours, but she gave me to my aunt to get me out of that hellhole before it passed the point of no return, you’re what? Six, seven years older than me?”

”I’ll be turning twenty eight in November but considering your next birthday will be your twenty first? You’re not that far off.” I pointed out and Cass nodded in response. ”Look, I’ll keep this short and sweet, I’m going to focus on rebuilding my reputation for a while, I don’t care how long it takes and I know from last year’s Most Hated co-winner that some people will probably never forgive me.” I added before glancing over at the front door and it didn’t take Cass long to figure out what I meant. ”And that’s if I ever get there to begin with! But I at least started off well with you and Makayla.”

”At least I know that shit’s sorted.” Cass nodded in response to my statement before grinning a bit. ”And on the plus side? Your next match is against that perpetual choke artist Georgie Robertson.”

”Yeah, if there’s anyone I can start rebuilding my momentum from? It’s her.” I nodded in agreement before the topic shifted away from SCW for a bit, by the time we were done it was dinner time and I didn’t feel like getting a meal out on the way back to Vegas so I stuck around and helped the girls cook up a meal.

Wasn’t anything as good as what Makayla cooks up on a regular basis (she’s the former chef, not me) but it was at least good enough to mend the fences with Zoey and Becky too.

Walking down the streets of Reno, Nevada
Tuesday the 5th of September 2023, 21:00pm

*promo time*

Oh boy.

”What the hell do you expect me to say SCW?” I asked bluntly as I walked through the streets. ”These past six months I’ve committed acts that would get me arrested at any other jobs, I’ve alienated my friends, family, my fellow wrestlers, and for what? Glory? Jealousy? The influence of a fucking demon? All of the above? I’ll leave you to ponder that question for now folks, because my rebuilding period has begun and first on my list is Georgie Robertson.”

This will be good.

”Georgie, Georgie, Georgie, if they looked up the definition of “wasted potential” in the dictionary your face would be right there next to it.” I commented as I shook my head. ”Over a year has passed since your SCW debut and in that time you’ve had several title opportunities and scored the shock upset off the year when you defeated Roxi at Inception VI! Now we do have that in common but for obvious reasons, I’m choosing not to talk about that match, I was in a bad place, that’s all I’m saying, but as thoroughly beaten as this dead horse is Georgie? The fact still remains that you’ve squandered that momentum!”

Sorry, not sorry.

”So many title opportunities, so many chances to make something off yourself and you fucked it up each and every time! For fuck’s sake, you had to answer Jessie’s open challenge to get your last title shot!” I added before shaking my head with a chuckle. ”And not only did you lose? You were one of several Bombshells left off the card, sad really!”

How the mighty have fallen.

”And don’t think for a second that I’m going to take it easy on you Georgie, because I’m in search of the same thing as you: momentum and I’m not about to see you squander more opportunities because you don’t know what to do with them!” I stated as I ran both hands through my hair. ”If you ask me Georgie? You’re a classic case of too much, too young, too fast! And I’m not quoting that Airbourne song just because they happen to hail from my homeland of Australia! For one thing, they are from Victoria, I’m from South Australia, two completely different parts of the country! But more to the point, you’ve been given too much for your experience range, your too young to know what to do with it and it’s happening too fast!”

Get the picture?

”At least when I signed with SCW in 2020, I made sure to spend a few years toiling on the indie scene beforehand so I knew what the fuck I was doing when I arrived! According to some idiots, including our new Bombshell Internet Champion, I still don’t have a clue but they will soon be proven wrong!” I stated bluntly as I folded my arms. ”And you will be my perfect punching bag for this match Georgie, because as soon as you make the one mistake you consistently make whenever you lose a match? I’ll be on you like a shark that smelled blood in the fucking water.”

It’s that simple.

”I’ll give you credit for persistence and tenaciousness but that’s about it Georgie, because until you get your act together I won’t give you credit as a talent!” I stated as I leaned against a nearby wall. ”What do I mean by that? Stop wasting your opportunities, actually do something beyond being a tough chick from South London, show the SCW Universe why you were signed in the first place and why the bosses keep you around, until you do? You’ll continue to get stepped over by hungrier, more determined women on the Bombshell Roster, including yours truly!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”My days of being the ultimate bitch may be behind me but make no mistake, I have in no way lost my edge and this Sunday? I’ll use Georgie Robertson as a crash test dummy to show the Bombshell Roster EXACTLY what I mean!” I stated bluntly as I kicked off the wall and continued walking down the streets. ”Because you see Georgie? It’s one thing to have talent in the ring, it’s another to know what the fuck to do with it and you’ve demonstrated time after time that you have no clue what to do with your talents! The winds of change are blowing in SCW and I, Krystal Wolfe, will be leading the charge for the next generation at The Path To Redemption Part 1: Back to Normal? We’ll soon see, won’t we? See you on Sunday Georgie!”

I walked off as the scene fades.

The final battle between Keira and Krystal was almost here and with the fate of the world at stake the stakes couldn’t be higher! Will Sin triumph and usher in her new world of Sin? Or will Keira do away with her oldest enemy for good?

Inside Krystal’s mind

So, pop quiz everyone: what’s your definition of hell?

For me it’s being stuck in this cage for weeks on end and when I finally get some company in this prison of mine? It’s the former managers that got me in this mess to begin with.
 
As for how Matthew and Marty are doing since they were imprisoned here? Matthew’s kept to himself, Marty?

Marty’s lost his god damn mind no I’m not kidding.

“Sin will save us all Sin will be the Savior of this world.” Marty muttered to himself as he rocked back and forth. He had been like this since Saturday (I think, you try keeping track of the time in this place) and I could only look at him in pity. “Sin will save us all Sin will be the saviour of this world.”

”Is it bad that I miss his perverted tendencies?” I asked Matthew as I ran a hand down my face and Matthew nodded in agreement. ”At least he had his mental faculties intact back then!”

“I’m inclined to agree with you Charlotte.” Matthew sighed before Sin appeared in front of us. “And speaking of Sin.”

“I see I have a follower already.” Sin cackled as Marty ran up to the bars with a massive maniacal grin on his face. “One down, many thousands more to go.”

”Your first follower is a maniac who has clearly lost his mind, not exactly a good start.” I muttered in response and Sin scowled in response. ”What do you want Sin? Aside from the obvious.”

“What I want is almost at hand.” Sin cackled in response and I frowned in response as did Matthew, Marty? He dropped to his knees and looked up towards the sky in a paying motion, almost made me tempted to put him out of his misery right there and then. “Violent Conduct IX is this weekend, and soon? There will be No More Heroes.”

”We’ll see about that.” I responded as I shook my head before Sin disappeared again and I sighed. ”None of this would’ve happened if I had never hired you idiots as my managers, I hope you realize that.”

“What of Cassandra?” Matthew asked and I glanced up at him. “She was originally training at my wrestling school.”

”I would’ve found her eventually, we both lived in Vegas at the time.” I responded as I shook my head and Matthew said nothing in response. ”Either way, we’d better hope that Keira eliminates Sin once and for all.”

17
Krystal/Sin nearly went through with her promise to publicly execute Roxi Johnson but Keira’s last minute intervention saved the day! But now they were going to do battle with the fate of the world at stake as that was one of Krystal/Sin’s requirements for stopping her brutal attack on Sin, that the match would take place in Sin’s World! And now the stage was set for the final match between Krystal/Sin and Keira! Can Krystal/Sin be stopped?

Inside Krystal’s Mind
Monday the 14th of August 2023, 09:00am

You ever feel helpless? Because thar is how I felt watching Sin control my body against Roxi.

I’ll admit, under literally any other circumstances I’d be absolutely ecstatic after scoring a win over Roxi Johnson, scoring a win over a Hall of Famer and Grand Slam Champion who, unlike Mercedes Vargas, hasn’t lost a step in the past few years? That’s the kind of momentum you can’t buy, especially when you are a young Bombshell like me or Georgie Robertson! Off course, there are some differences between me and Roxi and I’m not just talking about the fact that Georgie’s British whilst I’m Australian.

For one thing I wouldn’t have squandered that momentum like Georgie did after she kicked off the year with that huge win, but the other difference? I never would’ve tried to kill Roxi in the middle of the ring.

But that’s exactly what Sin did last night and I had no choice but to watch on, the following morning Sin appeared in front of my cage cackling all the way.

“Well, well dear Krystal, it’s almost time.” Sin taunted me as she walked up to my cage and I glared at her. “Once I am done with Keira, you will be gone for good.”

”You won’t win Sin!” I responded as I glared at Sin and the demon scoffed in response. ”Keira will defeat you again!”

“Fool! I have already won!” Sin declared triumphantly as she stretched her arms out to the side. “Soon, the New World of Sin will be upon us and you be gone forever.”

”If you’ve already won, then why am I still here?” I asked Sin and that one question put an end to the demon’s bluster in a hurry. ”You told me as such during the lead up to the match against Ruby, the moment you do away with Keira is the moment I’m gone for good, yet here I am, still waiting in this cage for that moment to come whilst all you do is taunt me.” I added and Sin scowled in response. ”Admit it Sin, if you were as powerful as you say you are, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation!”

“SILENCE FOOL!” Sin bellowed as she increased the heat on my cage bars causing me to wince in pain. “I may not be able to kill you right now, but I can literally reduce you to a pile of sentient ash! You will be able to think, look around, but talk? No, you won’t be able to so much as scream! There’s just one thing keeping me from making that dream a reality.”

”And that thing is what exactly?” I asked as the cage bars cooled down before it dawned me. ”You need my body to be completely intact.”

“As satisfying as it would be to shut you up for good in such an horrific fashion, you are correct, if I did that then all my efforts will for naught! Now I can’t guarantee that your physical body will be functional if I were forced to leave after I did that to you so don’t count your blessings yet!” Sin added before she held up her hand and went to snap her fingers. “But I will grant you one reprieve, for you will not witness the death of your world alone.”

”I won’t?” I asked before Sin snapped her fingers and two more cages appeared next to mine, I looked at them and quickly recognised their occupants. ”I would’ve preferred being reduced to a pile of ash thanks!”

“You don’t get a choice in the matter.” Sin reminded me as Matthew Kennedy and Marty McFarge, my former managers from the last days of my Roulette Title Reign, groaned as they came too. “Enjoy conversing with your new cellmates.”

With those final words Sin disappeared from view and I leaned back against the cage wall looking directly at Matthew. ”So Matt, how does it feel to be the one who thoroughly fucked over the world in the name of revenge?” I asked the former wrestler who looked up and scowled as he recognised me.

“I have nothing to say to you Charlotte.” Matthew responded dismissively and I glared at him. “You killed a business that I had spent years building, bankrupted me with those lawsuits and for what? So some brat could get different trainers?!”

”The same crat who I would’ve taken straight to the Go Gym if I had known that you were using Cass as a pawn against me?” I asked pointedly as Marty started to look around. ”And for the record? That brat just signed a contract with a globally recognised company, maybe you’ve heard of them, EWC? She’s making more money that you ever saw as her trainer.”

“I always knew that Cassandra was a prodigy, but her naivete was easy to manipulate.” Matthew scowled as he glared at me. “Where are we anyway?”

”Believe it if you want too, or don’t, I don’t give a fuck frankly! We’re trapped inside my mind.” I responded as I glared at the two men at either side of my cage. ”And thanks to that spell you idiots cast? You have no one to blame but yourselves.”

“You have no proof that we cast the spell that revived Sin.” Marty tried to assert himself and I glared at him. “What reason would we have……….”

”Oh, I don’t know, revenge maybe?” I asked as I folded my arms. ”And save it! Sin showed me the footage of the night you broke into me and Makayla’s home to cast that spell on me, including that disgusting suggestion you made oh and by the way? When you suggested raping me and Makayla? Makayla was three months pregnant with twins!”

“When did she give birth?” Mattherw asked and I turned my attention back to him. “Just humour me Charlotte.”

”She gave birth in the middle of May to two beautiful healthy baby girls called Cara and Zosia.” I informed him bluntly and Matthew nodded s he got the idea. ”The girls are almost three months old now and growing fast.”

“I figured that part out for myself thank you, but that’s not why I’m asking.” Matthew sighed and my eyes narrowed. “There was a chance that if the spell was cast in the presence of a pregnant woman then some essence of Sin would like inside them………..”

I didn’t care if Matthew was almost a foot taler than me or outweighed me by over a hundred pounds, I still reached through the cage bars and pulled his face up to the bars to face me. ”Listen to me you son of a bitch! If you did ANYTHING to hurt those girls I will destroy you as soon as we get out of this mess! And you know what? The same goes for you Marty!”

“What did I do?!” Marty insisted but backed down when I glared at him.

“You made yourself clear, now let me go.” Matthew responded before I let him go and Matthew sat down in his cage. “And pray that that Keira woman will do what’s necessary.”

”Let’s hope so, because if Sin has her way? The Fall of Team Hero Part II: Keira’s Destruction will be well underway come Violent Conduct.” I responded before we all sat back down.

Krystal/Sin had been on a rampage since Sin took full control of Krystal in Rome starting with Ruby Steele! Krystal’s match against the controversial Bombshell ended by ref stoppage after Krystal used  The Crippler to break Ruby’s arm  forcing the ref to end the match but she was far from done! The following week Krystal/Sin hosted a public workout in Beijing China in another match that had to be stopped for her opponents’ safety after she brutalized that young competitor Hayley Chambers from bell to bell.

However following the public workout Team Hero would come to the aid the poor girl after Krystal/Sin attacked SCW’s commentary team Belinda and Jason and after an attempt by Krystal to break Keira’s arm with The Crippler was interrupted by Roxi Johnson Krystal issues a challenge to Roxi for a No DQ Match at the Go Home Show for Violent Conduct where the match would be the penultimate one of the night, second only to Jessie’s title defence against Georgie Robertson! Can Krystal be stopped.

Inside Krystal’s mind

What does one do when they are literally trapped within their own mind?

That question has been on my mind since Sin took full control of my body in Rome, turns out? Sin had thought of that and had arranged for me to have front row seats to not only “my” match against Ruby Steele but that public workout against Hayley Chambers the following week.

Oh yeah, the workouts.

They were initially started when Goth got injured and one of the Blast from the Past Quarter Final Matches got cancelled, Mark and Christian needed a time filler if they wanted to fill out the time so they grabbed four local girls, told me that I’d be taking them on in an elimination gauntlet match and, well, you know the rest, I won the match with ease but continued the assault after the match hitting each girl with my finishers.

The Hope Destroyer on Beth Rogers to end the match, the Eternal Rest on Andrea McKenzie and The Ides of March on Chloe Richardson to send a message, and then, came Jenny’s turn, the first girl who’s arm I broke with The Crippler.

What if I told you that that wasn’t my idea? I wanted to leave it at the workout but Sin’s influence drove me to continue the attack! Was it planned by Sin? Knowing that it would lead to the return of her old enemy Keira? Who knows? Sin hasn’t exactly been forthcoming with her motives since she trapped me in here, but the weeks wore on and the public workouts got worse, girls sent flying over the top rope with the Ides of March, through tables, onto exposed concrete after being launched into another girl and that was before I broke the arms, or tried to, of whoever was unfortunate enough to be left standing.

All under the influence of Sin, and I have my former managers to thank for it.

“Well, well, how is my dear captive?” Sin’s voice rang out and I glanced up seeing the twisted version of me walking up to my cage with her arms crossed. “Have you gone mad yet?”

”If you were trying to make me go mad from boredom then maybe you shouldn’t have put that screen up.” I responded as I rolled my eyes before motioning to the screen in front of my cage. ”What do you want Sin? And don’t say World Domination, or the deaths of Team Hero, or any other cliché villain bullshit.”

“It’s almost like you can read my mind.” Sin responded as she grinned before marching up to my cage. “I wanted you to have a front row seat, because I’m going to pay your darling ex-wife a visit.”

”YOU LEAVE MAKAYLA OUT OF THIS!” I demanded as I grabbed the bars of my cage. ”She has nothing to do with……….” I screamed out in pain as Sin increased the temperature on the bars and I quickly let go off them.

“How soon you forget that I am in control here.” Sin reprimanded me as she knelt down in front of my cage. “And you are wrong, that bitch has locked my out of your Twitter Account with your dear sister’s help and now they will pay.”

”You bitch!” I cussed at Sin as I rubbed by burning hands, Sin soon used her healing magic on me before she turned to the screen. ”Why me?! And why Makayla?!”

“Do I really need to show you the footage of when Matthew and Marty cast that spell again?” Sin asked as she turned to me and I shook my head. “And Makayla will just be another casualty in our war with Team Hero, just like Ruby, and just like Hayley.”

”You mean that girl from my old high school?” I asked as I glared at Sin and Sin turned to me. ”You didn’t think I recognized her? She had contacted me months before I attacked Cass hoping to follow me to the Go Gym only to balk when she realized just how much money the whole process would cost her.”

“I was counting on it.” Sin responded as she leaned against an invisible wall. “She sought a trainer in her hometown and got her training there, she literally just had her first match before I selected her as my victim.” Sin added as she looked at her nail. “It’s a shame that that commentator prevented me from completing my work, I had such sights to show that foolish girl!”

”Hellraiser.” I commented simply and Sin turned to me. ”Did you really think I wouldn’t recognize a quote from one of my favourite Horror Movies?”

“Ahh yes, that bastardization of what real demons are about.” Sin chuckled to herself before turning on the screen. “Now then, shall we watch?”

”Again, your acting like I have a choice.” I responded as I shook my head but once Sin had her attention away from me I started concentrating.

She wasn’t the only one who could use magic, I wasn’t quite saw what I was doing but I had to do something before it was too late.

Makayla’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Monday the 7th of August 2023, 17:15pm

It was a quiet evening that night when Sin showed up at Makayla’s home and started walking around the house, inevitably catching Makayla’s attention.

”Is someone there?” Makayla called out upon hearing the commotion downstairs, then she gasped upon seeing Sin and quickly turned to Rachel who was at her side. ”Rachel, no matter what your mommy loves you, okay? But I need you to go hide now!”

“Mommy?” Rachel asked in a scared tone upon seeing the look on Makayla’s face before she quickly nodded and ran into the spare bedroom where Zosia and Cara lay in their crib.

”Well, well, look who’s all alone?” Sin asked through my voice as she climbed up the stairs and Makayla span around to face her. ”Once you are out of the way I will have my access to the world back!”

”Leave Charlotte’s body at once Sin!” Makayla demanded as she glared at Sin. ”And leave this world to never return!”

”NEVER!” Sin responded before she sprinted up the stairs at an inhuman speed and grabbed Makayla by the throat. ”No one will save you this time Makayla! Say your goodbyes!”

”You first bitch!” Without warning Harper Mason tackled Sin to the ground with a running spear forcing Sin to let go off Makayla, Harper tried to keep the demon restrained using her high school wrestling techniques but Sin overpowered the teenager flying. ”I don’t know who this Sin is, but you will not get away with everything you’ve done!”

”Foolish girl! Don’t you realize that it’s already too late………” Sin trained off before a metal bat connected with her back driving her to the ground, Sin quickly recovered and turned to see her new attacker. ”YOU?!”

”Hey I’ve got an order here for a bat shoved right up a demon’s ass.” Cassie commented as she waved the bat around and Makayla helped Harper up. ”Did anyone order that or should I just leave it for curb side pickup?”

”Harper? Cass?!” Makayla asked as she looked between the two girls with a look of shock on her face. ”But how? You girls should be in Chicago and Greece!”

”I’d say it’s a long story but I’m not even sure if that covers it!” Cass admitted as she shook her head before glaring at Sin. ”Either way? Young Justice are here to stop you Sin!”

”Young Justice? The pale imitation of my true enemies?!” Sin scoffed as she glared at the two young women. ”Enough of this! Once your trainers are out of the way I will be back for you fools and especially you Makayla!” Sin declared before the lights in the house went out, when they came back on? Sin was long gone.

”Okay, does anyone want to explain to me what the fuck just happened?!” Harper asked as she let out several deep breaths and Cassie let the bat drop to her side. ”One minute I was enjoying some Chicago Deep Dish pizza in, well, Chicago, the next I’m here fighting off a demon!”

”Same goes for me and Patras, just replace pizza with some Greek Street Food.” Cassie added before she leaned against the railing. ”More importantly? Are you okay Makayla.”

”I’m fine, you girls intervened before she could do any serious damage.” Makayla assured the two girls and Harper and Cass nodded with grins on their faces. ”And at least let me make you girls some food since your rescue interrupted you’re eating.”

”I’m not even sure how long we’ll be here for but I’m not complaining about having food cooked for me by a culinary student.” Harper responded with a grin and Cassie quickly nodded in agreement before the trio went downstairs.

Monday the 7th of August 2023, 17:30pm

Sin had been transfixed, almost in a trance like state, as she watched her attempted attack on Makayla, but the moment she was forced to retreat by Young Justice? She immediately turned to me with a hateful glint in her eyes.

“YOU!” Sin bellowed as she marched up to her cage. “What did you just do? Where did those girls come from?!”

”Heh, what do you know? My hunch about that spell worked.” I chuckled as I folded my arms. ”Turns out that Matthew and Marty’s little spell left me with some magic of my own, I just needed to summon those girls and your plans were foiled!”

“You have no idea what forces you are dealing with Krystal!” Sin snarled as she marched up to my cage. “Give me one good reason to not exterminate you right now!”

”Because you still need me! Otherwise, you would’ve done away with me after you took over my body in Rome, right?” I asked pointedly and Sin hesitated. ”You had no reason to keep me alive, yet here we are, having this conversation, the truth is that without me all your schemes would be for naught, wouldn’t they?”

“Until Team Hero are dealt with? Yes!” Sin snarled before she stormed off. “And that will happen sooner than you think, those foolish bosses of yours have granted me my wish, I’m facing Roxi in a No DQ Match on Sunday!”

”Good luck with that! If I could never beat her, what hope do you have?” I asked Sin but she was long gone by that point, leaving me alone in the cage once again.

In front of the Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio di Janeiro, Brazil
Monday the 7th of August 2023, 18:00pm

*promo time*

Sin suddenly appeared in front of the world famous Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil, armed with a camera and ready for her promo.

”Christ the Redeemer, quite the impressive statue, pity it won’t save anyone from the New World of Sin!” Sin declared as she folds her arms. ”Ruby was but the first, Hayley Chambers was a sacrifice, but now? The real war begins, and it starts with my next match!” Sin added as she walked around the statue. ”And thus begins The Fall of Team Hero Part One: The Murder of Roxi Johnson!”

Such a shame.

”You were a fool to get involved to begin with Roxi! You should have stayed out of your wife’s business but instead you offered yourself up as a sacrifice.” Sin added as she folded her arms. ”If only you knew the horrors that I had in store for you Roxi, it’ll make what I did to that foolish girl known as Hayley Chambers look like Child’s Play and when all is said and done?”

It’s that simple.

”There won’t be enough of you left to fit inside a matchbox.” Sin added as she ran a hand through her hair. ”Hope you’ve said your goodbyes to your loved ones Roxi, to Nate, to all your trainees, to Keira, because they will never see you again!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”I am keeping this short and sweet but your fate won’t be quick and painless Roxi, you will suffer as a martyr for my cause!” Sin adds as she holds up her arms in a pose mocking the statue she’s in front of. ”And thus, the first steps towards the New World of Sin will begin, all praise the New World of Sin, all praise the pain and suffering I will inflict on Roxi as I demonstrate once and for all why all who cross me will beware the ides of march!”

With those final words Sin and her camera disappeared from view as the scene fades.

Climax Control Archives / “The Return.”
« on: July 17, 2023, 07:21:38 PM »
Climax Control 366 started off like any other edition, albeit one hosted from the Roman Colosseum in Rome, but it ended unlike any other, to the point where the fantastic Main Event between Jessie Salco and Laura Phoenix for the Bombshell Roulette Title found itself being overshadowed by it! Why? Because in the midst of Chelsea Skye’s surprise appearance to get revenge on Krystal Wolfe for her wife, it was revealed that Krystal had been possessed by a revived Sin and no one know for how long! Even worse? Sin had completely taken over Krystal’s body leaving little of the Aussie’s true self left.

But that wasn’t the only attack Krystal committed that evening as Krystal sought revenge on Ruby Steele for costing them the match against Keira and Whisper at Summer XXXTreme only to be saved by Seleana Zdunich before Krystal could break Ruby’s arm! Well, the noses took one look at that situation and decided “let’s book a match between those two” and it was set for the second Climax Control of the Cycle, a rematch from Inception IV two years ago! Can Krystal win?

Unknown Location
Unknown Date and Time

I honestly can’t remember anything.

The last thing I remember before blacking out was getting a headache after Keira kicked me to break my submission hold on Chelsea, at first I figured that Keira had given me a concussion but the next thing I knew, I was in a jet-black cage, surrounded by flames.

Yet, somehow, I wasn’t feeling the heat from the flames and when I touched the cage, it was cool to the touch, something was definitely off.

”Where am I?!” I called out to the darkness that surrounded the cage, the only light being provided was the flight from the flames but then I heard footsteps coming from the darkness and I tried to adjust my vision to see who it was, it wasn’t until she came right up to the flames that I recognized her. ”SIN?!”

Her form was different, before her appearance looked like Keira if Keira died her hair black with dots in her eyes, this time? Her hair was read, not a natural red like my natural hair colour but blood red. Scars lined her face and she had visible burn marks on her arms. “One year.” Sin scowled as he eyes narrowed at me and I gave her a confused look. “I waited nearly a whole year for this to take place and even now I’m not at full strength.”

”What the hell are you talking about?!” I demanded as I glared at Sin. ”I thought you were dead, the whole wrestling world thought Keira killed you alongside the rest of your minions.”

“Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth? They are all gone for good, I thought I sensed the sin of lust in that girl you targeted last night, Chelsea was it? But Keira interfered before I could investigate further.” Sin added before a sadistic grin spread across her lips. “I suppose you want to know where you are, I trapped you within your own mind, you’ll watch on, helpless to do anything as I slaughter your friends and family using your own hands!” Sin added as I glared at her. “And you can thank a certain former manager of yours for it.”

”Matthew Kennedy?!” I asked as it dawned on me and Sin nodded as a screen appeared behind her. ”What’s he got to do with anything?! He was bankrupt by the time Jenny’s lawsuit was done with him, he faded into obscurity after the students’ lawsuit was settled!”

“Those are true, but you forgot one thing, if a person desired something hard enough, they’ll go to any lengths to see it through.” Sin responded as she leaned against an invisible wall. “You were desperate enough to check yourself out of hospital the week before a Roulette Title Shot, the one against Kat Jones I believe?.”

”What are you implying? That Matthew and Marty did something to me during that brief hospital stay? I’d remember my former managers going out of their way to visit me after all they’ve done!” I demanded and Sin cackled as she shook her head.

“No my child, that happened later in the year, seven days before your twenty seventh birthday.” Sin responded as she shook her head and I immediately felt a cold chill go down my back. “And what a lovely birthday present Makayla had for you, the news that she was three months pregnant and with twins no less! I remember when you snuck into her house just so you could see the twin girls, such lovely little faces.”

”YOU STAY AWAY FROM THEM YOU BITCH!!” I demanded as I grasped the bars of my cage angrily and Sin laughed in response. ”Makayla, Rachel, Cara and Zosia have done nothing to you!”

“Let me make one thing clear, you are NOT in a position to make demands of me!” Sin said angrily as she marched up to my cage. “I am in control of your body, your mind, your actions, your decisions, your consequences, and as my power grows.” Sin smirked before grabbing me by the chin and pulling my face up to the bars. “So will your suffering!”

All of a sudden, the bars turns super-hot and my flesh burned almost immediately, I was able to pull my hands away from the cage but Sin held my face to the bars and all I could do was let out a muffled scream due to her grip on my chin, this lasted about a minute before she finally let go and let the bars cool down leaving me severely burned on my hands and face, at least for five minutes before Sin healed  my wounds, which, off course, felt like an eternity. ”What the hell do you want Sin?!” I demanded as I started to regain my composure. ”What is your end game?”

“What I want is your body, and not in a sexual way either! Keira destroyed my original vessel, Matthew and Marty may have revived me but I am nowhere near close to my full power.” Sin responded as she folded her arms. “And once I am back at my full power? You’ll be erased from history, no one will remember you, your friends, family, co-workers? They will have no recollection of you, only Sin! No one will even remember that title reign you took so much pride in, that nine-month period will be a blank record in the SCW History Books for the Bombshell Roulette Division.” Sin smirked as she walked up to the screen. “All because you, in a moment of weakness, hired a former wrestler and his business partner to be your managers.”

”When?!” I asked as my eyes narrowed. ”When did this all start?!”

“November the 9th, 2022, exactly one week before your birthday.” Sin responded as the screen turned on, I remembered that week’s Climax Control well, it was the week of Ariana’s final title defence of the year against Jessie Salco, she would go on to lose the Bombshell Roulette Title in the New Year thanks to the open invitational clusterfuck that was won by the other Crystal. “Shall we see?”

”Do I have a choice?” I asked sarcastically and Sin shook her head.

Krystal’s home, Las Vegas, Nevada
Wednesday the 9th of November 2022, 11:00pm

Off course, I didn’t know that Makayla was pregnant by then, she wouldn’t reveal that fact until the following week, the week where I challenged Masque for the World Bombshell Title.

At that point, me and Makayla were fast asleep in our bed, the dogs were downstairs probably dreaming of chasing squirrels or something like that, Rachel was in her own room down the hall and, well, you get the idea.

What I don’t remember is two masked figures sneaking into our room.

“Do you have the book?” Matthew whispered to Marty as they approached our bed and Marty nodded before handing it to Matthew. “One wretched spell and our revenge will be complete.”

“Can’t we get revenge on them he old fashioned way? They are so beautiful, at least………” What Marty was implying was enough to make my skin crawl, especially in hindsight knowing that Makayla was only a few months into her pregnancy at the time, but thankfully Matthew shot his disgusting suggestion down.

“No, if we do anything to harm them the spell won’t work, not even the devil itself would be able to revive Sin if that happens!” Matthew said angrily and Marty wisely (and thankfully) backed off, the next few moments were filled with Matthew reading a spell from the book, I could neither read or understand Latin but the intent behind his words was as clear as fucking day, especially as several small ghostly figures swirled around Matthew and the spell got louder.

Yet somehow, it woke no one in the house or the neighbourhood up, and after several minutes my mouth opened on it’s own and the spirits flew in! Once the final sprit entered my mouth it closed shut for the rest of the night. “Is it done?” Marty asked and Matthew nodded before marching his former manager out of the room. “What now?”

“We sit on the sidelines and wait.” Matthew responded as he glanced over at my sleeping form. “The process should take until July to complete, until then Sin will be slowly exerting her influence over Krystal, at some point she will snap completely and go rogue, by then Sin will be using her emotions and feelings against her.” Matthew explained as the two men left the home without disturbing either of the dogs, Garrus and Tali were still fast asleep despite the former being a German Shepherd with intruders in the house. “By July Sin will take a hold of her completely.”

“But what about us?” Marty asked as they left the house and raced towards a waiting car which sped off once they were inside. “What do we get from this?”

“Sin promised us great rewards for this service.” Matthew nodded as they buckled up. “We will be on top of the mountain again.

Inside Krystal’s mind
Unknown time and place

As the screen turned off I was left with a lot to think about, and Sin was going nowhere fast so I grabbed the opportunity in front of me.

”What kind of reward did you promise them?” I asked as Sin laughed to herself. ”And why has no one heard from them since?”

“I did promise them an award, that much is true.” Sin cackled before she frowned, “They betrayed you when they tried to sabotage your career, they betrayed Cass when they tried to use her as a bargaining chip to keep you in line, and worst of all, they betrayed humanity when they even entertained the idea of reviving me.” Sin said before grinning sadistically. “So I rewarded those fools exactly as a traitor deserves.”

As soon as the words hit me, my blood ran cold, and I immediately looked at my own hands. ”You didn’t?!”

“Oh don’t worry Krystal, I didn’t use your body for that, my power wasn’t strong enough.” Sin responded as she started to walk off. “But what you do need to know is that they will never be seen again! And to think, your bosses were kind enough to spoon feed me my first victim.”

”My bosses? Mark and Christian booked me this week?” I asked and Sin cackled again. ”Against who?”

“Ruby Steele, they are feeding that little lamb to the slaughter all because you attacked her.” Sin responded as she started to walk behind the screen. “Not something I planned for but you have quite the history with Ruby, don’t you? Your first major rival in Sin City Wrestling, the woman who replaced you as Mark Storm’s partner in Blast from the Past, the woman whose minions assisted Diamond Steele in ending your Roulette Championship Reign, my, my, why on earth was she your first pick?” Sin asked rhetorically before laughing. “Oh yes, because you have no allies left, Go Gym? Burned that bridge to the ground, Saviours? You were barely in that group for a cup of coffee, any of the new girls? At this point the only one foolish enough would be that new girl, Juliana DiMaria?”

”Me and Ruby will never be friends, but if you so much as harm one hair on her head……..” The bars heated up again and Sin mockingly did a “tut, tut” motion with her hand.

“Forget your place already? Welcome to your new home Krystal, you will never see the light of day again.” Sin taunted me before she disappeared into the darkness, leaving me alone in the cage. "Once I take care of that fool known as  Ruby and before you vanish for good, Krystal. I will let you see with your own eyes one last sight, the end of Keira! For you see Krystal, once she dies, you will die!"

I had already viewed my alliance with Matthew and Marty as one of the biggest mistakes on my wrestling career to date, but now? I may as well update that to “life”.

*promo time*

So much has changed.

”Hello dear viewers, you may see Krystal Wolfe on your screens but she is not home, I am Sin, I have returned after three long years.” I stated as I folded my arms. ”Get used to this! because you will never see Krystal as you knew her again! I am in control of her body, I am in control of her will, I am in control of her actions and soon, I will be fully reborn in this body and them the world will weep as it breathes its last breath!” I said with a laugh as I turned my head to the side. ”And Krystal’s employers were kind enough to serve me my first victim in a silver platter, hello dear Ruby, do you want to play a game?”

My first victim.

”Ruby, you have wrestled my vessel before, in fact you were her first rival in Sin City Wrestling, but don’t go into this match expecting the same Krystal you wrestled all those years ago, instead, expect nothing but violence and desolation in your future!” I stated as I folded my arms. ”For you see Ruby, I will not just be out to defeat you on Sunday, I will be out to send a message! Not just to the Bombshell Locker Room, not just to Keira, Roxi or whoever else has a vested interest in what’s going on with me, but to the whole world for once I am done I will remake the world in my image.”

And you will be the first.

”An image of chaos, an image of destruction, an image or brutality, an image of Sin!” I cackled menacingly as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Little girl you have no idea of the horrors that will await you once that bell rings but you will learn soon enough, and trust me Ruby, the only outrageous thing about you after this match will be if there’s anything left of you.”

If you’re lucky.

”A new age of darkness has descended upon Sin City Wrestling, and you can all thank one of the original Roulette Champions for it, you know, if you ever find Matthew Kennedy, he has been a bit hard to find since last November.” I stated with a cackle as I lowered my eyes. ”And Ruby? Make no mistake, your first mistake was screwing over my vessel, your last mistake was to antagonize her, your final mistake was too accept this match, and there will be no mistakes once that bell rings.”

Remember.

”You know what the sad irony is? Krystal did nothing wrong, all she wanted was to be respected by her peers, all she wanted was to be held in the same regard as the likes of Devona, Evie Jordan, London Underground, Fenris, Ariana Angelos, HB Carter, the list goes on! But because you chose to treat her like her accomplishments meant nothing? You drove her to desperation you drove her to seek the services of two former members of the SCW Roster to serve as her managers.” I scoffed to myself as I turned my head to the side. ”You created the monster you see before you, you created Sin reincarnated in Krystal’s body and when the dust has settled on a fallen world and Ruby is recorded as the first victim? They will all point to that one moment in time when they treated a newcomer from Australia like she was beneath them, to the point where they belittled her in her grandest moment, jealousy perhaps? Or just the simple fact that they saw a younger, hungrier Bombshell doing what they never could, you decide, before it’s too late!”

Make it fast.

”But you had better make your decision quickly because I will not be so merciful as to grant Ruby a swift end to her suffering on Sunday!” I added as I ran a hand through my hair. ”And come Sunday night, you will all know the name of Sin, you will all know the bringer of your destruction, you will all know the fate that waits those stupid enough to get in the ring with me, it’ll almost be cathartic to see someone as widely hated as Ruby left in a bloody heap wouldn’t it? Until you fools realize one thing, Ruby was just the start, what do I have in store for the rest of the Bombshell Division?”

It’s that simple.

”You will find out soon enough SIN City Wrestling, appropriate that I would manifest in such a company, and that I would make my glorious return within, I may have been late to the kill, but Ruby will be early for the slaughter.” I stated with a sadistic grin on my face. ”I have waited three long years for this moment Ruby and I will savour every last moment of your agony, I will morsel every second of your suffering, if you’re lucky? Then maybe your precious wife will save you, but that title of hers can’t save her from me!” I added as I folded my arms. ”the only thing that can save you is my mercy, and it’s laughable to think that I have any mercy to spare!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”But ultimately it seems I have you, the Bombshell Roster, to thank for my resurrection, for you see, none off this would’ve been possible if you had treated my vessel with a single monochrome of respect! But fear not, for your world may suffer slowly, I will grant Ruby and any other fools that get in my path a quick end!” I added as clenched a fist and held it to my face. ”The return has been three years in the making and by the time I am done, no one will remember a time before Sin for all those who get in my path will beware the ides of march!”

I walked off as the scene fades.

Climax Control 355 would end up being another eventful night for Krystal, the Aussie Bombshell not only threatened (indirectly) Carter’s mom and grams in a backstage segment that saw Carter get physical with her but Sarah Blaze would almost beat her in a public workout only to get screwed over by Jessica Stevens leading to Chelsea Skye making her SCW debut to make the save for her wife and lay down a challenge for the next Climax Control and to make matters worse Krystal would lose to Whisper in a fierce match!

But before that there was Summer XXXTreme XI and the annual summer spectacular was playing host to Whisper’s SCW PPV Debut as she and Keira were teaming up to take on Krystal and Ruby, can Krystal get the win back?

Where the fuck am I?!

I could’ve sworn I was going to bed a few minutes ago but now I’m finding myself in some literal hellhole, there was no other way I could describe it because I was surrounded by flames and in front of was a massive crimson castle.

Either this is a dream or the devil decided to skip several steps after the last Climax Control!

”Where the fuck am I?!” I wondered out loud as I looked around, then a figure cloaked in shadows emerged from the castle. ”Who…….”

“My name is unimportant because you are what matters Krystal.” The figure responded and I quickly recognized the voice as the one who possessed me during my last promo and caused me to attack Makayla. “And you have done well so far.”

”I never wanted ANY of this!” I snapped at the figure as I glared at it, I couldn’t really tell if the figure was a woman like me and the voice wasn’t helping either. ”I just wanted to split off from Team Go, join the Saviours and try to break out on my own, you ruined everything!”

“Did I? You were being chafed by The Saviours from day one, and I’d say that the way you broke off was perfect.” The figure responded as it shook it’s head and I frowned as I glared at it. “And breaking those weaklings in those workouts was just the icing on the cake!”

”All the bridges I had built, burned because you, whatever you are, came into my life!” I snapped at the figure as it began to step forward. ”No more! I am done with you!”

“No, you’re not.” The figure responded before it stepped out of the shadows, she was almost the splitting image of me, same blue hair and everything but the key difference was the red cat-like eyes. “We are just beginning.” She added before forcing a kiss on me, but that was where this vision left off and why?

Because it was a dream.

Krystal’s apartment, Las Vegas, Nevada
Thursday the 22nd of June 2023, 09:00am

So yeah, I’ve been keeping this under wraps but I moved back to Vegas at the beginning of the week, as I said before, without Hell’s Gate to train at I literally had nothing to do in Grand Junction and despite the incident and the ongoing divorce proceedings, Makayla had helped me get a small apartment here in Vegas.

Said apartment was filled with my surprised scream as I jolted awake, I glanced over at my phone and saw three things, the time and a pair of text messages.

”Several missed calls from Cass and a text from Jessica, is Cass still after that five grand from the public workout?” I wondered out loud as I thought back to that incident several weeks ago, we hadn’t talked since then but I was able to confirm through Cassie’s stepmom that it was true, me and Cass were actually half sisters and we were only related by marriage, aside from that? I had put it out of my mind and decided to focus on Jessica’s message by calling her and putting it on loudspeaker. ”Hey Jess, sorry if I sound tired, I literally just woke up.”

“Having a bit of a lay in?” Jessica asked and I shook my head before Jessica switched over to FaceTime to see me better. “You weren’t kidding huh? I’ll keep this short since you obviously need to get ready and shit, you remember Marty and Matthew?”

”You mean the second biggest mistake I’ve made? Right behind joining The Saviours?” I asked as I got out my bed and started brushing my hair. ”Last I heard from them, the lawsuit had driven them to bankruptcy and they had faded away into obscurity, why do you ask?”

“I’ve been getting calls from a lawyer who claims they represent those two, don’t ask how they can afford a lawyer after your lawsuit left their finances in the shitter, she said that they were moving back to England and, well, I think it’ll be better if I just show you a screenshot of what she showed me.” Jessica added before she sent me a screenshot over text and I checked it.

I wasn’t really sure what to make of it, most of the writing was in Latin and I’m fluent in English alongside knowing a little bit of Greek (thanks to my marriage to Makayla) but Latin was another question entirely. ”Jessica, you know Latin’s a dead language, right?” I asked as I switched to Jessica’s facetime. ”How can you expect anyone to understand that? I’m only fluent in English for fuck’s sake!”

“I was wondering the same thing but she included a version that they had run through Google Translate.” Jessica responded before sending me another pic and I checked it out.

This had started to put a lot of recent events into a whole new context, because the text was about demon summoning and implanting them into another person’s body, but it also raised a few more questions as well. ”Why was something like this in their possession? Matthew and Marty are carny pieces of shit but they always seemed to be grounded in some semblance in reality!” I added and Jessica could only shrug her shoulders in response.

“I’m only telling you what that lawyer told me, I can give you her contact info if you want to check her out for yourself.” Jessica responded and I quickly nodded at that idea, Jessica sent me another text and sighed. “So what’s the latest between you and Makayla? I noticed that you had moved back to Vegas.”

”Yeah, I’m back in Vegas but I’m laying low and living separately from Makayla, there isn’t exactly a shortage of people who want to kick my ass in SCW, especially after that incident with Carter, Miles and Ariana.” I responded with a nod as I ran a hand through my hair. ”Ruby seems to be the only one on my side right now and she’s only doing this tag match because she hates Keira.”

“My question is this, why did you go with a roster member? Why not someone unexpected like Masque or Amber Ryan?” Jessica asked and I frowned before shaking my head.

”Aside from the fact that neither of those women have been seen or heard from since their last reigns as World Bombshell Champion ended? Amber is too closely tied with Mac and Masque is someone who I wouldn’t want to be in a ring with again even if we were the last wrestlers on Earth.” I responded as I shook my head and Jessica nodded. ”Otherwise? I would’ve contacted them long before Ruby even volunteered herself!”

“Would’ve been less annoying at least, anyway I had better get going because I need to get some food in me, talk to you later.” Jessica responded and I nodded before she hung up, even though Jessica had seen me naked a few times (and vice-versa off course) I used my newfound privacy to get dressed for the day.

It was only after I put on my “Within Temptation” crop top that I got another text, initially I thought it was Jessica again but no, it was Cassie again and this one I couldn’t ignore. ”I’m waiting downstairs and I’m not leaving until we talk, see you soon Charlotte.” Cassie’s text message was accompanied by several missed calls, calls that I must’ve missed due to being on the phone with Jessica.

I wasn’t about to keep her waiting much longer, I grabbed my jacket and headed downstairs ready to face my cou……….I mean half-sister.

Usually I come out here much later to cut promos, but it’s useful when two young women want a chat in piece! Especially when those women just found out that they are half-sisters.

”Okay, how about we start from the top?” I asked Cassie as I walked in front of the Quash Quai and she nodded as she leaned against the door. ”When exactly did your mom tell you the truth?”

”Mom told me at the beginning of May, I told Keira a few days later and she spread the word to Harper and Jessie.” Cassie responded with a nod as she folded her arms. ”They were going to tell me sooner but then you re-entered my life, turns out I’ve been living with my aunt and uncle all these years and I’ve got some Italian blood in me.”

”That does explain why you and your parents have a darker skin tone than the rest of the family I guess.” I responded with a frown after thinking it over. ”Dae I ask what happened to your birth mom?”

”Same fate as yours, one of ger final acts was to give me to Ruth and Erick before she was killed.” Cassie responded with a deep sigh as she glanced to the side. ”I was still a baby at the time, I never even met my birth mom! I didn’t even know what she looked like before my stepparents showed me a pic of her holding me as a baby! But I can at least say that I got my looks from her.”

”That’s all well and good Cass, but what does that mean for us?” I asked as I folded my arms and Cassie paused. ”You humiliated me when you returned to Climax Control several weeks ago, I nearly ended your career with a steel chair.”

”At least you’ve finally come around to how fucked up that was.” Cassie responded as she shook her head. ”I don’t know if we’ll ever get back to the way things were before you attacked me Charlotte, but even after everything you’ve done since then? I still believe that there’s some good left in you.” Cassie added before she motioned to the car. ”I just hope that you realize it before it’s too late.”

”Maybe, maybe not, but I’m guessing you’re ready to head home.” I responded and Cassie quickly nodded in response before we got in the car. ”For now? We’ll keep this convo between us.”

”No argument there!” Cassie responded before we drove off, about an hour into the drive I had to pull over because I was getting a searing headache which Cassie caught onto quickly. ”Charlotte?!”

“Eliminate he weakling my puppet.” The demonic voice rang out in my head and I quickly shook my head. “No one will miss her!”

”GET LOST!” I screamed and the pain and voice stopped, I took several deep breaths before I turned to Cass who had a look of obvious concern on her face. ”I’d say it’s a long story but I don’t even think that’s doing it justice.”

”We have what? A two hour drive to Vegas? Tell me on the way.” Cass instructed me and I nodded before we drove off, me telling Cass everything that had happened recently along the way.

What she was going to do with that info was anyone’s guess.

*promo time*

Back here again and for my promo at that!

”Year one, my first Summer XXXTreme, I became one of only two Bombshells to date to retain the Bombshell Roulette Title in the Ultimate X Match, I’m pretty sure that you guys know the rest of that story by now.” I said as I folded my arms and leaned against the car’s bumper. ”Year two, last year’s Summer XXXTreme, I had to make do with a tag team match against the Metal Maniacs, quite the fall from grace right? Well, many would argue that I had an even bigger one this year but going from wrestling two of the Bombshell Division’s biggest jokes to wrestling two legends of the sport? Tell me, who really had the fall from grace here?”

You know what I’m talking about.

”I will say this, those who had “Whisper making her SCW debut” on your bingo cards for 2023 had better try playing the state lottery because that is some prediction!” I stated with a slight laugh before shaking my head. ”All vecause I made some idiot cry over gummi bears of all things! Feel free to tell Despy this for me Whisper: THEY ARE FOOD! GUMMI BEARS ARE MEANT TO BE EATEN! Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move on to the relevant shit!”

Starting with…….

”Let’s get the obvious out of the way, Whisper won our match last Sunday because I was still tired from the Public Workout, how else do you explain me failing to beat her several times? Well I’m not making the same mistake at Summer XXXTreme, I’m pretty sure the bosses don’t want a repeat of what happened to Chelsea Payne all those years ago, and with Ruby at my side?” I asked as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”We can’t lose! Whisper may have win the battle but in the end? I’ll win the war!”

But she’s not my main focus.

”And to think. If Keira had stayed retired none of this would’ve happened, but no, she too exception to me wrecking a few rookies and here we are, two cycles into the Keira Johnson come back tour, hey! At least it’s going netter than London Underground’s!” I scoffed as I rolled my eyes. ”I was really looking forward to silencing you once and for all in a singles match Keira but this will have to do for now! And just to reaffirm this? it’ll be a cold day in hell before I go after anyone under the age of eighteen, your kid Nate is safe!”

Why?

”You see Keira, you may blast me for giving up motherhood for glory but here’s the fact, I’m still a mother! As of last month I am a mother of three beautiful girls, I wouldn’t want that happening to them and I wouldn’t do that to anyone else’s kid!” I added as I shook my head. ”But I guess my word isn’t worth more than the sand beneath my feet these days so I’ll have to demonstrate that fact on the cruise! And getting the win along the way will make it all the sweeter.”

It's that simple.

”Me and Ruby don’t like each other, that should be obvious, but we’re united in a common goal, beat up a pair of retirees! Only this will happen  in a wrestling ring aboard a cruise ship and we won’t get arrested for it!” I added with a slight laugh to myself. ”I swear to god this business can be seriously fucked up at times! But one thing’s certain, me and Ruby will get the win!”

And with that I decided to wrap things up.

”And it’s going to take more than two semi-retired wrestlers to stop us! I hope you realize that Keira and Whisper? You got a taste of what I can do when we faced off in Yuma on Sunday Night, at Summer XXXTReme? I’m serving up a full course meal of pain!” I added as I flipped some hair over my shoulder. ”Because the old guard won’t be around forever and eventually the new blood will have to take its place! And at Summer XXXTreme I’ll happily speed the process up as Keira and Whisper beware the ides of March!”

I got in my car and drove off as thescene fades.
