After The Television Title Match
Kyrie King burst through the locker room doors following a gut-crushing defeat at the hands of Tatiana Jolee who had captured The Television Championship in the process. He’s livid as he screams out in sheer frustration.
Kyrie King: FUCK!
Kyrie walks up towards a set of lockers as he rears back and balls up his right fist, then delivers a LOUD and HARD shot to the steel locker. His punch leaves a dent in the locker and his hand throbbing from the impact, he bursts out again.
Kyrie King: SO FUCKING CLOSE!
Kyrie walks over to the sink and bangs his hands down on it and then looks into the mirror as he balls up his left fist this time about to punch the mirror but a hand grabs his arm followed by a sweet voice that brings Kyrie to a freeze.
Sweet Voice: Wait! Hurting your other hand won't make things better, and I'm sure everyone else in the locker room would appreciate it if you didn't break the mirror. It's bad luck.
Kyrie turns around and sees the sweet voice to be Vanessa Rivers. Kyrie looks embarrassed for a moment as he thought she would be the last person to see him like this.
Kyrie King: So how long have you been standing there?
Vanessa Rivers: Long enough to be spooked by you almost breaking your hand on that locker. Please don't be so upset. You did great out there tonight even in a loss. I'm sure the fans saw your future potential.
Kyrie looks away in thought before turning back to Vanessa.
Kyrie King: It's not about disappointing the fans or higher-ups, it's the fact all my life I've been looking to make my parents and village proud of me ever since that day…
Kyrie hesitates to finish his sentence as he walks over to a bench and sits down, still holding his hand, Vanessa follows behind slowly and stops just a few feet away from the bench.
Kyrie King: I don't talk about my personal life a lot but the reason I take it so hard is that, in the fight for a lot more than fame and glory, I'm fighting for a group of people that was silent year's ago in South Africa, I can almost still hear my parents scream and the smoke from the village as it but to ashes. I pledged to fight for them, to dream for them, and to compete for them because they no longer can do none of those things. So when it came time for me to honor that I failed in more ways than anyone can imagine.
Kyrie holds his head down and shakes his head in frustration. Vanessa walks up to him and lifts his head up with her finger.
Vanessa Rivers: I'm so sorry to hear that, and I know for a fact that you didn't fail them. I'm sure your parents and village are proud to see how far you've already come. Besides, you were young back then and there was nothing you could do to stop that tragedy. So don't put so much pressure on yourself. Now let's go binge watch anime before you punch something else.
Kyrie smiles for a moment then grabs his gear and bag, then walks out the locker room with Vanessa as the scene fades.

Kyrie is seen taking off his MMA gloves as he gets done with his workout for the day. He takes a seat in a chair then picks up a water bottle and takes a few sips before beginning to speak.
Kyrie King:It's been three nights since I failed to Capture The Television Championship at Monday Night Clash. I've spent days replaying what went wrong in my head over and over again as a record stuck on repeat. There was no time to feel sorry for myself or to think about what ifs because my redemption was around the corner because someone in management must think highly of me for giving me another shot at immortality.
Kyrie takes another so from his water.
Kyrie King: Now this time Odin's big old ass won't be in my way when me and Jolee lock-up this time in the ring, it will be a beautiful clash of different styles that will tell a story of two warriors looking for the same outcome. I know what the Champion represents and how hard she's worked over the last twenty years to make it in this business and to stand where she is today, it's been no easy road for her as she came up through the Canadian scene. She busts her ass to get into Action Wrestling and has even doubled her work ethic to bounce back from early shortcomings but now I must try to duplicate what she did this upcoming Monday Night Clash, I must channel the souls of my people and use it as the fuelI need to become Champion! I must dig deep and find the fire in me to overcome her superior technical skill, I must win or everything I've been training for since I got on that boat will be all for nothing, my peoples voices will go silent with disappointment and I can not live with that. So TJ I look forward to what I believe will be a banger of a match and a great classic with you but I'm coming in to win by any means, so if I have to stretch you out until a bone pops or cut off your air supply when I wrap my arms around your neck, I will do it to become Champion, the gloves are off TJ I'm bringing knowing but ruthless unimaginable pain to claim The Television Championship..
Kyrie sips his water as the scene fades out.
