Sara Pettis is backstage in gorilla when a beaten and broken man stumbles through the curtain and collapses on the ground in front of her. That man is her husband, The Raging Dead. She goes to check on him as medical professionals rush over. It is a somber scene, everyone unsure if he is even breathing. The camera is unable to get close enough to get anything of value, until Sara gets up and shoves the camera man back.
โNO! FUCK THE AW NETWORK!โ
She goes back to her husband, who at least has his eyes open.
โWhatโs going on?!โ
โHis breathing isโฆ shortโฆ and he may have a few broken ribs. Itโs to be expected after that hellacious match.โ
She drops down on her knees, by his head, and she looks down at him.
โAre you happy now? Are you FUCKING happy?! Was all that worthโฆ THIS?!โ
He looks up at his angry wife and silently gives her a thumbs up as the medic puts an oxygen mask over his mouth. Through the irate tears, Sara canโt help but smile.
โYouโฆ son of aโฆ bitch. Iโd say donโt ever do this to me againโฆ butโฆ you knowโฆโ
She briefly chuckles and kisses him on the forehead, before being interrupted by Jenna Bauer.
โExcuse meโฆ Mrs. Gustโฆ
Sara sighs and wipes away her tears, then stands up and approaches Jenna.
โFirst of allโฆ the nameโs Pettis. Itโs 2020, Jenna. We donโt have to take their last names. Secondlyโฆ WHAT?!โ
โIโm sorry to interrupt you at such a critical time butโฆโ
โYouโre not sorry. Itโs your job. I get it. What do you want?โ
โFirst and foremostโฆ welcome to Action Wrestling. We just got word that you penned your contract earlier today, and you will be competing exclusively for the Cruiserweight Division. What are your thoughts on potential opponents in the coming weeks and months?โ
โI have no thoughts on them right now. Why would I? My husband nearly died out there.โ
โWasnโt heโฆ already dead?โ
Sara sighs and ignores the question. She turns and goes back to her husband.
โI just have one more question, Sara. Would you like---โ
Sara basically shoots fire out of her eyes at Jenna.
โFinish that question and Iโll break your fucking jaw.โ
Jenna scurries off and Sara turns back to her husband, who is now seated on a bench as his ribs are being taped up. He removes the oxygen mask and looks up at Sara.
โHow are you feeling?โ
โIโve been betterโฆ but Iโve also been worseโฆโ
โYou scared me to death out there. All these years laterโฆ what you do is still hard to watch.โ
โYouโve been in this business since birth, Sara. How is ANY of this hard to watch?โ
โItโs still real to me, damnit!โ
They share a laugh, that is interrupted by Saraโs phone ringing. She pulls it out of her pocket and reads the screen with a smile.
โItโs for you.โ
She hands him the phone and he answers it.
โHi, Lexi. Iโmโฆ fineโฆ ishโฆโ
Szene verblasst.
