I.
Sun Tzu once said “In the midst of chaos there is also opportunity.” The Wrestler of the Year tournament was exactly that. Lockhart retires and allows Elias into the second round. Lissie beat Gravedigger to get a World Title shot without cashing in the briefcase. Geri attacked Lissie and Pandora recently. Action Wrestling was spinning into a world of complete chaos. They say everything happens for a reason but I am having trouble seeing what the reasoning of all of this is. All I know is I have to prepare for my match in Las Vegas this week against KOS. Was I scared? No. Was I nervous? A little bit. Would I fail? We would soon find out. All I know is I had to give it my all, win or lose.

The scene opened on Kennedy Matthews sitting in a dark room. She smirked as she spoke. ”What a ride Wrestleseason has been. I took out Karlie Nash and almost killed Hajeet. I came within moments of becoming the Action Wrestling World Champion. Hey, Torture, Camilla, do I have your attention now? If not, surely I will when I defeat KOS this week. KOS and I are trending in opposite directions. You see, KOS was seeded very highly in the Wrestler of the Year tournament and yet lost to a man who had to be voted in by the fans in FPV. KOS why should I take you seriously? Because you are the star of a new AW Network original? So is Karlie Nash and I ended her path to the top just as quick as FPV ended your advancement in the Wrestler of the Year tournament.”
Kennedy laughed as she shook her blue hair side to side. ”I can hear people already telling me that I am not stepping into the ring this week with Hajeet or Karlie Nash. I know this. I know KOS is a formidable opponent but, unlike him, I am not looking past him. He sees my name across from his on the card and he shrugs his shoulders, don’t you KOS? You are looking past me because I am not Lissie Hope. You see me as weak and almost as a cakewalk but that was the Kennedy Matthews of old. I have been reborn and no one is going to use me as an easy stepping stone. No more will I be the one seen as jobber to the stars. I have the mentality of a mother and that is not an easy will to break. I will break down your mind in our match this week and, in turn, your body will be broken as well. I am the mother of all creation. Now face me and let’s show the world how far I have come and how far the mighty has fallen.”
Kennedy paced back and forth as she looked into the camera again. ”It is kind of funny, really, KOS, that you are across from me this week. A week late as I like to say. It should have been me vs you in the Wrestler of the Year tournament last week but fate, and the fans, would not make it so. I have put my trust in our wonderful fans and I feel soon my stars will all align. I just have to keep proving my worth. In all honesty, KOS, I have nothing against you and I wish you nothing but the best in life. However, life has decided to fuck you over and put you across the ring from an unstoppable machine this week.
Lately I have lost only one match since I came to the realization of who I am. That one loss was to Dandy DiVito in a World Title match. Who have you beaten of relevance lately KOS? Hell, when was the last time you wrestled at all prior to your embarrassing loss last week? I have been predominately featured all throughout #WrestleSeason while you did a whole lot of nothing. Seems the winds of change have blown and a new era is taking over the scene in Action Wrestling. Odin is no longer dominant. Lissie Hope is about to become the World Champion and Kennedy Matthews is relevant. Action Wrestling is about to get a whole lot more interesting and frankly, KOS, I don’t see much hope for you or the old heads. It is 2019 and it is the year of the Matthews!”
Kennedy stood up and walked off as she left a solitary blue rose on the floor, almost like a calling card she had been there.

II.
It had been a week since my best friend announced she was returning to action soon. She told the world and I was so proud to be right there by her side. Inside the ring we stood once more and addressed the Action Wrestling Community. I may not be the Queen anymore but Estrella, Lissie, Geri and I would ALWAYS be the Royal Family. We would never forget. A bond was formed at Evolution and though we all have our own goals and aspirations, our paths would always be linked one way or another. When one of us win, we all win.

Kennedy Matthews sat alongside Estrella Luiz at a small cafe in Las Vegas. The two women were eating some lunch and discussing Estrella’s beauty line. Kennedy was all smiles as they talked a bit. ”I can’t believe it Estrella. You have come so far in your recovery and in your confidence. When we were in WCF you hid your face from the world behind that lucha mask. I understand why but now you are embracing your beauty by teaming with a great marketing team for your new cosmetic line and profiting off of the beauty I have seen all along. I mean, there is a reason Lissie wants to fuck you.”
The two friends shared a laugh as Estrella looked down at her phone. She shows Kennedy a bright red shade of color. ”This is All-In, the shade I made for Lissie.”
She switched the picture on the phone to a green hue. ”This is Miller’s Tale for Geri. Self explanatory, I know.”
Kennedy laughed as Estrella reveals a royal blue. ”This is your color. I call it Mother Rebirth. I figured this matches your hair and just matches your personality.”
Kennedy teared up a bit. She hugged Estrella. A massive bodyguard walked up. ”Don’t touch Miss Luiz please.
Kennedy looked on in a confused manner. ”Really, Hector? You have known me for ages!”
Estrella looked at Kennedy. ”Kennedy, he is on edge. He has to protect me after.. Well you know. Just don’t pay him any mind. Papa makes sure he is near me so I can be protected and live my dreams.”
Kennedy nodded and looked into the distance. She sighed as she laid her head down on the table. Estrella massaged Kennedy’s scalp a bit. Kennedy looked up. ”Stop Estrella…” Kennedy shook her head side to side as she stood up. ”I’d hate for Hector to get mad at you too.”
With that Kennedy walked off and the scene ended.

Friends forever huh? Estrella and I have been through so much and now I am sitting here writing in my diary and wondering what my friend is even thinking. Estrella has her own thing going on and I am so proud of her but everyone needs someone by their side sometimes. So with that being said, I still hadn’t talked to Geri since she attacked Lissie so I don’t know if she is my friend anymore. That leaves Lissie. Lately Lissie and I had been even closer than ever. Since Dandy had put a bounty on Lissie’s head, someone had to look out for her.

The scene opened to show Kennedy Matthews and Lissie Hope sitting in Kennedy’s hotel room. Kennedy looked around and glanced at Lissie’s briefcase. Lissie shook her head. ”What Kennedy? Huh? You thinking of cashing in the bounty? I will take your fucking head off.”
Kennedy sat back in her chair. ”Lissie, not at all. I am wondering once you beat Dandy this week, what happens to the briefcase? I mean, do you become the first World Champion to also hold the briefcase? Does Torture strip you of it? Is there a match to determine a new All In holder?”
Lissie clutched the briefcase tighter to her chest. ”No one will take this briefcase from me until I am done with it. I like to think of it as an insurance policy. If I lose my title I can cash in and win it right back. I just don’t need all of these people trying to take it from me.”
Kennedy could tell Lissie had been sleeping less and less worried that someone, ANYONE would try to cash in on Dandy’s bounty and retrieve the briefcase for him. Kennedy brushed against Lissie’s shoulder. ”Lissie look…”
Out of reflex Lissie flung her arm back conking Kennedy in the bridge of the nose. Kennedy’s eyes teared up a bit from the impact. Lissie dropped the briefcase momentarily to check on her friend. ”Kennedy, I am sorry. Look you can’t just do that. I am on edge and you know it..”
Kennedy yelled at her friend. ”Fucking really Lissie? It is just me and you here. You can fucking relax. God damn! Just relax for a fucking second.”
Lissie, obviously irate at this point, argued back. ”You don’t get it Ken. When you won your shot you couldn’t have anyone take it from you for a little bit of cash from Dandy and Yazmin. You didn’t have the whole fucking locker room trying to take your damn head off. You got to have your shot without any consequence. I don’t get that luxury.”
Kennedy nodded as if to agree with Lissie but her words said otherwise. ”You are right, Liss. I have had zero consequence in this ring. I have given and lost nothing.”
Kennedy grasped her stomach as she spoke again. ”Sometimes, Liss, I get these flutters as if my baby is moving but you know what.. She isn’t fucking there. I am empty and yet people like you act as if I have given nothing to this sport and to this company. Just leave. I need to rest.”
Lissie looked at Kennedy before speaking. ”You may be able to guilt trip others but we both know who is at fault for your miscarriage. So don’t bring that shit at me.”
Lissie walked out and slammed the door.

IV.
The time had come for me to prove, once again, that I was the real deal and that everyone who judged me was extremely wrong. Never again would I be the laughing stock of the company or of my family. I would finally prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that I velong here amongst the big boys. That I belong to be in the ranks of the Dandy DiVitos and Lissie Hopes of the world. That I had surpassed Odin Balfore and Alex Richards. Now was my opportunity to prove that I belonged to be mentioned alongside the Tortures and Gravediggers of the wrestling business. I had to finally etch my name in the annals of history. KOS just happened to be on the other end.

Kennedy Matthews sat on the balcony of her Las Vegas hotel room. She shook her head side to side as she took a sip of her drink. She sat it down on her table beside her as she spoke. ”Each and every week I keep hearing that it will be the week that the fire inside Kennedy Matthews is extinguished. I keep hearing that so and so would be the one to end me. Happened with Karlie Nash. Happened with Hajeet. Happened with Dandy. What happened? I am stil;l here and ready to fight another day. People say it all the time. Dandy beat you. Doesn’t that sting a little? With loss comes realization. I realized that I am a proper main event star in this company and no one can take that from me. I broke gender barriers in Saudi Arabia and I almost left with the Action Wrestling World Title firmly within my grasp. It just wasn’t meant to be.. On that night. Believe you me, I will one day hold that title and wear it around my pretty little waist but for now I am not focused on the World Title or any destination really. A few weeks ago I begged for a challenge and this is one of those challenges.
King of Slabs is it? I mean what does that even mean Spencer? What are you trying to be royalty of? When I was the Queen, the wrestling world was on watch. More people believe Hajeet to be royalty than you. Truth hurts, doesn’t it Spencer? When you take away your foolish nickname you ultimately are left with a sour taste of the man you were supposed to be. You take away your nickname and you are a lost soul who’s body committed suicide long ago. You are nothing more than a spirit and a shell of who you once were. Spencer, you can hang out with Andre Aquarius all you want, it won’t make you relevant again. Your final days of relevance are here. When you are yet another stepping stone on Kennedy Matthews’ ascent to the top maybe you can be on my highlight reel or my AW Network Special.
What will happen, SPencer, after I defeat you on Clash? Will you drop down to the Cruiserweight Division? Nah, I doubt it because since QDT has returned there it will be his division once more. Will you run and cower? Nah. You have too much pride for that. I am sure Geri still has the ACTUAL World Title that Kyle Cameron threw at her a few months ago. Maybe I can talk her into giving it to you. All I know is that you will not be another notch in my loss column. I am finished losing to nobodies and has beens. I have to return to that form that beat Noble Savage in the Glory US Title Tournament. I need to return to my WCF Hardcore Title Reign days and channel my inner demon. Sure, I may be a nice person but when you step into the ring with me, you step between the ropes with a woman who would DIE for this business. You step into the ring with a woman who was born into the business. You were moilded into a wrestler, I was born to do this. On Clash I will beat you or I will just hurt you so bad that you won’t be able to move.
Turmoil is right around the corner and the two of us don’t want to be sitting at home watching others have all the fun do we? Spencer, this is our opportunity to earn a match on the show and I will be damned if I let a little coward like you ruin it for me. I will be at Turmoil. Can the same be said for you Spencer? What would you be willing to sacrifice to be the best in this business? The answer for me is simple, I would give up the very air in my lungs to be at the top of the mountain again. My path is rocky but still very clear. You are the beginning and Dandy is the summit. I will keep climbing until I reach the base camp at the peak of the mountain we call Action Wrestling. I will kick Dandy off the top and you will soon see that the Royal Family formation was a sign of things to come when Lissie, Estrella, Geri, and I all stand at the top of the mountain and we will do it TOGETHER!
If tomorrow, your career was over, which it very well may be stepping into the ring with me, would Andre still have your back or is he just around while you have big things going on? Estrella’s injury has shown we will always be close, as will Lissie. Geri, I can’t speak for, but I know the three of us will be together until the end of time. We have an unbreakable bond that you or no one else here can say. On Clash, we finally will see what happens when the King steps into the ring with the Mother of All Creation. We will have an important announcement after the match. The King is Dead.. the Mother has taken his place. I may not wear a crown on my head anymore but I am more fitting to lead Action Wrestling into the future than you are. You know what they say, If the crown fits...”
Kennedy laughed as she placed her old crown on top of her head for old times sake as the scene faded out.
