”Well, well, what a fine mess I’ve found myself in.
Apparently Ruby Steele hasn’t gotten over the fact that I did the division a favour and demanded to face me at Summer XXXTreme under her new name Prudence Pierce and that has led me to this match against Bella Madison.
Just like the old days.
Why do I say that? Because I’m fighting her in a Roulette Rules Match in this week’s opener, anyone who knows my career in SCW knows that I made my career in the Roulette Division through most of 2021 into 2022, Bella challenged me three times during that period, first time was when SCW started doing shows outside of Vegas again following the dark days of the pandemic were she challenged me alongside Mercedes Vargas in my first main event as champion, then she challenged me again at Violent Conduct in singles action and if I had to go over that whole mess again I’d be driven to alcohol! Last time she challenged me being I lost the title to Keira was in that five pack challenge against Johanna “One Hit Wonder” Krieger, Bea Barnhart, Seleana Zdunich and off course Bella.
The fact that my reign continued for months afterwards should tell you everything you need to know about how those matches ended! Hell, Bella was even my first opponent as champion but we don’t talk about that non-title math because it ended in disqualification after Mercedes interfered, great start to a career defining reign right? Then again my early days as champ wre plagued by idiots (Andrea included) claiming that I’d be a one and done champion.
A 273 day reign that smashed the records set by Sam Marlowe in one go and that no one has come close too since says hi.
But this matchup against Bella comes with extra stips, beyond whatever shit the Roulette Wheel throws at us, I win, I get to name the stipulation for the match against Ruby, Bella wins, she’s added to a title match she’ll inevitably flop in, yeah, the Roulette Title Match at Summer XXXTreme.
Considering Mercedes is also in that match they may as well put a damn participation trophy on the line as well.
In other words? Bella had better get ready to hope for a filler match at the show and Ruby? Well, I have some ideas……….”

We see Krystal pulling into the drive of Cassie’s home in Reno, Nevada, it is the day after Cassie’s 21st birthday and she has a few birthday gifts for her.
”First birthday in my life was on the Summer XXXTreme cruise, second was right in the middle of that European tour and this year? She just gets wasted here in Nevada.” Krystal commented as she shook her head with a bemused grin on her face and grabbed the bag with the gifts. ”Least we’re on better terms than we were last year.”
Krystal walked up the driveway and knocked on the door, Zoey answered the door while Becky kept Cassie’s golden lab Sandie at bay. ”Oh hey Krystal, here for the birthday girl?” Zoey greeted her and Krystal grinned. ”Because I can’t think of any other reason why you’d travel over to Reno considering it’s eight hours from here to Vegas.”
”Nah, I just felt like spending most of yesterday taking an eight hour trip by car and crashing in a motel because I didn’t have the money for air travel due to my SCW pay check not coming in yet and the NPWA being a nonstarter.” Krystal responded as she held up the bag of presents. ”So on a scale of 1-10 how hung over is the birthday girl?”
”About a hundred.” Becky responded with a sheepish grin before Krystal was let in, Krystal could here Cassie moaning from the living room and glanced over at Becky. ”She didn’t even make it to the porch before passing out, I was half tempted to leave her out there.”
”Until we realized that Cassie was lucid enough to tell Becky to fuck off.” Zoey responded with a grin before leading Krystal into the living room were Cassie was lying on the coach watching tv. ”How’s the headache babe?
”Was feeling a lot better before Sandie started barking.” Cassie groaned as she sat up. ”Hey Krystal, here with my birthday presents? Don’t mind me, I’m just regretting every choice I made last night.”
”You’ll get used to them the more you drink, but you should’ve listened to those older wrestlers.” Krystal responded as she shook her head. ”So, what’s new aside from the fact that it’s all downhill from here?”
”Not much, just waiting for the headache to pass, I here they have you doing Roulette Matches again, and against Bella.” Cassie commented and Krystal nodded to confirm it. ”Think they’ve got you in the division again?”
”Doubt it, haven’t had a whiff of a title since February and my last singles match for the Roulette Title was that one I checked out of the hospital for.” Krystal responded with an annoyed grunt as she shook her head. ”By the way, don’t do that, it’s a good way to annoy both your bosses and your loved ones.”
”And that’s an understatement if I’ve ever heard one.” Cassie responded as she shook her head before going through the gifts. ”But hey, maybe this will be your chance to finally resolve that unfinished buisines.”
”We’ll see, but for now I gotta deal with Ruby holding a grudge over me doing the Bombshell Division a favour.” Krystal responded as she shook her head and Cassie grinned before she started opening her presents.
(Krystal’s internal thoughts)
”Some people get way too much preferential treatment from the powers that be and Bella’s right at the top of the list.
There’s others off course, Bea, Mercedes, Seleana, half the perpetual challengers club in both divisions! The list goes on but Bella’s the cockiest about it, she just gets a pass because of who her mommy is.
But I guess it’s okay to be a cocky wrestlers when your mom wasn’t murdered by your piece of shit dad and is instead a famous wrestler who did fuck all in SCW before retiring after losing to a girl who isn’t even old enough to drink!”

*promo time*
We see Krystal leaning against the hood of her car as she starts her promo.
”Bella, Bella, Bella, how many opportunities are you going to waste before they realize that you’re not even in the same league as your overrated as fuck mom? And no Laura, I won’t keep your name out of my mouth because if you had raised your idiot daughter better maybe she’d be a better wrestler?” Krystal scoffs as she shakes her head. ”Everyone knows your win over me was a fluke and we have the title match against Julianna as proof! And this time? I’m shutting you out of another wasted opportunity at Summer XXXTreme.”
Krystal starts pacing around.
”I’m not even fighting for a spot in the damn Roulette Title Match, because the powers that be have decided that an incident caused by Sin is a good enough reason for a grudge match against Ruby! I’m in this Roulette Rules Match to pick a stipulation for that match, I’m basically your gatekeeper to getting in the Roulette Title Match Bella.” Krystal added before smirking. ”And what’s your record against me for these Roulette Rules Matches or hell, just Roulette adjacent matches? Oh yeah, zero wins for you four wins for me!
And yet some idiots will say that I’m not as good as I think I am, when in reality that describes you perfectly!”
Krystal flips some hair over her shoulder.
”So please, try to get another undeserved title match, it’s not like I haven’t been busting my ass for years trying to get in the champions’ corner where I fucking belong! In fact Bella? Why don’t you go get knocked up against because at least then you weren’t stinking up the joint!” Krystal adds as she folds her arm. ”Literally the only thing you have going for you is who your mommy is, and she retired last year because she realized that she never had it in the first place! Some of us didn’t have that luxury, some of us had to scratch and crawl for everything we had.
Some of us had to bury our own mother at the age of eighteen because of the actions of our dad, so yeah, I have a message for Alicia: if you’re looking for nepotism babies, try looking here at Bella rather than Jessie’s cousin!”
It’s that simple.
”In case you can’t tell Bella? Seeing people coast of the success of their parents is a personal pet peeve of mine to say the least, especially when they don’t have a fraction of mommy’s meagre talent!” Krystal starts walking towards the car. ”Hope you’ll have a comfy ringside seat ready for the Ultimate X Match Bella because there’s no way in hell you’re getting in that thing! Not when I can literally name a dozen bombshells more deserving than you and I’m not even counting myself in that equation, because sooner or later Bella? The bosses are going to realize what I already know!”
And with that Krystal decided to wrap things up.
”That you are nothing but a nepotism baby and that putting you in any title match is a waste of everyone’s time, because if you were any good? You’d have your first singles title years ago.” Krystal steps towards her car. ”Instead? Your just coax of Laura’s joke of a legacy! I’ll see you in the ring on Sunday Bella where I’ll kick ass for the content and Ruby? Get ready bitch! I have something special planned!”
Krystal got in the car and drove off as the scene fades.
