Alice sits in the back of an SUV, being driven to an unknown location. She stares out of the window into the night.
“So here I am, back stateside. I didn’t think I’d travel back across the Atlantic again so soon, but yeah, shit happens. The Mongrel turning up to your house in the middle of the night, that changes your plans”.
“My whereabouts has been a mystery; was the ‘Hard as Fuck Girl’ and her children alive or had they become yet another Walter statistic? Well, I’m here so clearly my maternal survival instincts kicked in and we got out of there”.
“Truth is, I love this sport despite the pain it has caused my family. It stole my husband from me, stole the children’s father. It was never my dream to become a wrestler; it was James’s. But when you’re left on your own with two children, you have to provide for them cause no one else is gonna. Fathers come and go, but a mother will never abandon her cubs, she will scratch and claw with her last breath to provide for them, so that’s why I followed James into this world”.
“And it turned out, I was quite good at it”.
Alice pulls out her phone and opens up her emails, revealing a contract offer for XIII.
“Final Girl Battle Royale for the Woman’s Title, this is the perfect opportunity to show Action Wrestling exactly why I, Alice, was the breakout star of CruiserClash this year. I didn’t ride the coattails of my husband, no I forged my own path by concealing my identity from the public. I built up an impressive record despite the shit he put me through including attempting to sexually assault me on the eve of my US Title match against Wesley”.
“How things have changed, how far he has fallen. As much as he broke my heart, as much as he hurt me and the children, hell, I even had to watch him parade Emily Deschanel in our faces, I still think deep down that he loves me, because I’ll probably always love him”.
“Despite all that crap though; I was the star of CruiserClash, it should have been myself entering Evolution III as the Cruiserweight Champion. I’d represented CruiserClash with pride in the Battlebowl match, even getting to the finals and finishing fourth. I then went on to finish third in the Cruiser Havoc Rumble. Both those performances show that without a shadow of a doubt I’m the favourite going into this match, there ain’t a damn thing the other ten girls can do to hold me back”.
“There’s supposed to be eleven of us, though, after the events of last week's Clash, I’m not sure if Claire Hawkins will even be able to make it. God damn girl; you had the opportunity of a lifetime having been chosen by James to be in The Lost Breed. But honey this is a results-based business and it’s fair to say you under-delivered every single time. Be grateful James had you sealed in a barrel and dumped in a river, cause the last girl he disposed of, Emily, he stabbed her and left her bleeding out in my bed”.
“Sara Pettis, I really like Sara, we’ve not interacted before, but I was a big fan of her husband, The Raging Dead. I was devastated when the news came down about his passing. Hats off to you for trying to continue his legacy in the ring, it’s brave. Trouble is, you're not as good as him and you are without a doubt the second best husband-wife duo in the company after yours truly. Barbs aside though, I do like you, maybe we can tag together at some point?”
“Karlie Nash and her sidekick Nikki, shit these two are still underwhelming time and time again. And continuing to stumble into title-winning situations, two-time Cruiserweight Tag Champions., we know you're more lucky than deserving. Reign one, you beat Flop in a handicap match after QDT abandoned him. Reign two, you beat Dragon Skrue after they both get a case of Montezuma’s Revenge after two weeks in Mexico. The world knows Karlie you're just some gob-shite dyke who ain’t got a hope in hell of ever reaching your potential, and your little friend is just here to make up the numbers”.
“Sierra, the girl thinks she’s a villain but she hasn’t got a clue what true villainy looks like. Trust me, hun, once you’ve seen the things I have, you quickly realise you're a little girl trying to play with her Barbie’s in a woman’s game. Vebbins, I forgot you were even on the roster, you’ve been here a while but have made zero impression. And for Slater, Aurora and Nidra; you're all simply here to make up the numbers, your role is to help pad my stats. I’m fairly sure your roster bios will soon be in the Alumni section”.
“And finally we have the Women’s Champion, Spayde Martinez. Well done, you managed to build up a little bit of momentum whilst I was away. But only a little bit; you still embarrassingly lost your debut and you’ve been unable to legitimise that title, it’s currently merely a prop. Luckily for the belt, and the woman in Action Wrestling, I’ve come home to take my place on the throne”.
“I should have been Cruiserweight Champion going into Evolution instead of Bolas, I never once received my rightful title opportunity. At XIII, I promise, for the sake of my children that I’ll grasp the opportunity with both hands and be the Final Girl, and become the new Women's Champion. And when I do, I’ll make it a legitimate title because a credible woman will be holding the belt”.
The SUV stops; after a moment the driver exits and opens the door for Alice. After taking a moment to compose herself she leaves the vehicle and looks up at the building in front of her: AOD, Inc.
