Jansen Myrrh
Gonna need you to sign so that they can be at all the shows. Thanks!
Jansen picks up her bag and scurries along with the crew in tow behind her leaving Robert Mack holding the envelope and scratching his head.
In the corridor, Anaquin Adams is preparing for her upcoming Death Match with Reaper, and is doing a bit of stretching, psyching herself up for her final wrestling match. Coming down the corridor from the locker room, heading out to watch the rest of the show, one of MHW’s newest signees Daphne James steps into the corridor and spots Anaquin just as Anaquin spots her. A curious look crosses Anaquin’s face as she stops her stretching and approaches Daphne.
"Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams
Hey.
Daphne James
Howdy!
Anaquin squints her eyes a little.
"Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams
I think I’ve seen you before…
Daphne James
Oh yeah? I'm Daphne! Or Daph! Either way works.
Daphne extends her hand with an excited smile.
Anaquin glances at the hand for a moment and then reaches out to accept the handshake.
"Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams
Anaquin. Adams. I’m sorry I’m being weird, but I’m certain I’ve seen you somewhere before today.
Daphne James
That’s strange. I don’t think I’ve met you before.
"Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams
Are you sure we haven’t met?
Daphne James
No. I don’t think so. I would totes remember you. You got awesome hair and tats!
Anaquin’s eyes light up for a moment almost as if she remembers something and then… shakes her head. Whatever she thought wasn’t it apparently.
"Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams
Well, okay then. But there is something about you. But, I should get back to my preparations. Good luck here in MHW! I’m sure you’ll do well. Oh hey, and I love your hair too. I did green once before.
Daphne James
Thanks! Good luck in your match tonight! Kick some booty and maybe we can hang later!
With that, Daphne disappears back into the arena as Anaquin grabs an arm and stretches it.
"Universal Superstar" Anaquin Adams
I know I’ve seen her somewhere.
MHW Ultimate Champion Skrabz appears to the side of Anaquin Adams, causing her to stop stretching again as she makes eye contact with him and slightly turns to fully face him. Skrabz puts his fist out, holding his Championship belt over his shoulder with his other hand. Skrabz nods at her, and she bumps his fist with her's before Skrabz walks past her. The cameras then cut to the Shieldmaidens' locker room where we see Alex “Bullet” Carbajal, MHW Tag Team Champions, Samantha “Titaness” Hamilton and Jackie “Bandit” Layton, MHW Hardcore Champion, “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire and Becca “Bruiser” Maguire all getting ready for their huge match against the Coven later on. It quickly becomes apparent that something is a little off as Bruiser is on the other side of the room to the rest of them with her back towards the group and the rest of them keep glancing over to her, all of them looking rather concerned. Eventually, Bruiser’s wife, Psycho, approaches her.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire
Ye bae alright, Bex?
Becca "Bruiser" Maguire
Aye…
Bruiser doesn’t make eye contact as she continues lacing up her boots, Psycho looks back to the rest of her fellow Shieldmaidens, clearly none of them believe that Bruiser is telling the truth.
"Psycho" Saoirse Maguire
Bex?
Bruiser shoots her wife an angered look.
Becca "Bruiser" Maguire
I said I’m fine, Sorsh!
Samantha raises an eyebrow, now knowing for certain the last thing Becca is at that moment is anything close to ‘fine’. Her arms cross over her chest as she towers beside Psycho.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
Your words and tone clearly say otherwise. Come now, what is it? We’re about to go into a huge match. Whatever’s bothering you, get it out now before we enter the ring.
Bruiser finishes lacing her boots and stands before finally turning to face her fellow Maidens for the first time all evening.
Becca "Bruiser" Maguire
Just… forget it… ya’ll wouldn’t understand anyway. Just let me use my aggression to kick the ever lovin’ shite outta those Coven bitches and THEN we’ll fuckin’ talk!
Shaking her head, Bruiser grabs a roll of wrist tape and begins to wrap it around her wrists. Now a visible frown, something that is seldom seen around the Maidens, appears on Samantha’s face.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
We wouldn’t understand?
Sam's tone is incredulous as she shakes her head.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
Why not fucking try testing that theory first before assuming something like that, yeah?! Maybe I may not, you might be right. But your own wife and your other sisters … I’m sure one of us will understand. Now seriously …
Sam's arms move off of her chest as she stretches them out beside Bullet, Psycho, and Bandit, helping point out whom she’s referring to as she continues speaking.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
Talk to us already. But don’t insult us like that. Save those and more for Coven, yes. Fuck sakes though, there’s no shame in getting whatever’s obviously on your chest off it.
Bruiser uses her teeth to tear the wrist tape and once she’s finished wrapping up her wrists, she tosses the tape back into her duffel bag.
Becca "Bruiser" Maguire
I know ya’ll wouldn’t understand coz every single fuckin’ woman in this locker room is either a champion or a former champion! Don’t ya’ll see?! I’m the fuckin’ weak link here! My knee is shot to bits! I’m losin’ matches left, right and fuckin’ center! I’m drinkin’ heavily… I can’t keep my fuckin’ anger in check… I couldn’t save my fuckin’ sister or my parents! There!
Bruiser motions to the camera.
Becca "Bruiser" Maguire
Now the whole fuckin’ world knows! The whole world now knows that Marchand was fuckin’ right about me!
Sam almost immediately scoffs as Bruiser begins explaining herself. But she remains quiet, only speaking up after Becca’s had her say.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
We wouldn’t understand?
Sam's head shakes a few more times.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
What bullshit! We certainly -- well, I understand. More than you ever know.
Finally, Sam turns around, looking between the others with an apologetic look. Her gaze lands and remains on Psycho as she mutters the following softly under her breath.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
Excuse me for this. I don’t normally do these things, but it’s obvious your wife needs this.
Without offering anymore of a hint or warning, Sam turns and faces Becca … and brings her right hand down on her sister’s cheek.
Samantha "Titaness" Hamilton
I actually understand a lot more than you even begin to know! Championships take time to earn. If we’re sticking to
