Rita: Winless!
AW Staffer: Ms. Stevens, there’s no alcohol allowed back here!
?: Ms. Stevens. A quick word if you don’t mind
Rita: What’s in it for me?
?: I..I’m sorry?
Rita: What’s your name?
?: Devan.
Rita: What’s your question, Devan? You didn’t come running over her to rub a loss in my face or something, did you?
Devan: I actually meant to congratulate you on another impressive performance.
Rita: Whatever you say, man.
Devan: I also heard that word just came through that you’re set to take on both Wasabi and Super Spicy to kick off next week’s go home show. Any thoughts on strategy, perhaps something to help you pick up your first win?
Devan: I’m alright, thank you.
Rita: Right, so what do I do differently? Why would I do anything differently, Devlin?
Devan: It’s Dev-
Rita: Yeah, I heard you the first time. My first couple fights could’ve gone better, obviously. I’m not some fucking wishy washy cunt though. They call me Rita Nasty for a reason. I am who I am regardless of what happens as a result of that. I’m not going to change up my game to adjust to a shitty meme of cultural appropriation or some Aaron Barrett looking poser who dyes his hair with Berry Blast Splat like some kind of white trash scene girl. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not thrilled about my shit record, but this isn’t the moment where I wave the white flag, not even close.
Devan: So we should expect you to notch that first win next week?
Rita: I’m not gonna tell you otherwise. I firmly believe I’m winning my third match and every match after it. If you carry a loser’s mentality, that’s all you’ll ever be. At the end of the day, the only person that’s gonna beat Rita Stevens is Rita Stevens. Jaice Wilds, QDT, Wasabi, Super Spicy..the names don’t mean shit to me and neither do past results. I let past competition escape, that’s my only mistake. I correct that by beating the absolute fucking tar out of the next guys.
Devan: Wasabi is currently 2-0 to start his respective career and has a lot of momentum going into your triple threat contest while Super Spicy has the advantage in overall professional tenure and experience, so it should be a fun match between three competitors really looking for what would surely be a huge win in the landscape of the 201 division, very excited to see it all play out.
Rita: Devon, is it?
Devan: ...Devan, actually.
Rita: You sound like a fucking goob.
I found myself stumbling backstage fresh off a second straight loss to start off my AW career, grasping at the back of my head as I split between personel. I reaches under a nearby small tablecloth, retrieving a stashed bottle of vodka before continuing towards the locker room.
I heard the voice of some square, bowlcut bitch from near Gorilla and answered back with a rearview middle finger. I lifted the bottle and let it run down my open throat, opposite hand reaching for the locker room door.
?: Ms. Stevens. A quick word if you don’t mind
The intern interviewer in front of me was blurred and meek, my vision fucked up more from post-match cobwebs than the early stages of shitfacing my feelings away.
Rita: What’s in it for me?
?: I..I’m sorry?
Rita: What’s your name?
?: Devan.
Rita: What’s your question, Devan? You didn’t come running over her to rub a loss in my face or something, did you?

Devan: I also heard that word just came through that you’re set to take on both Wasabi and Super Spicy to kick off next week’s go home show. Any thoughts on strategy, perhaps something to help you pick up your first win?
I took another long swig before tilting the bottle towards the intern.
Rita: Right, so what do I do differently? Why would I do anything differently, Devlin?
Devan: It’s Dev-

I kick the locker room door open, yanking the scrawny grad student forward by the shirt collar and letting the door drift shut behind us.
