vs. Tyler Tucker



==========
Off Camera
==========

Back in Boston, Massachusetts, at the special private gym owned by Angelica Jones herself, we see the self-named and self-made woman, The Dragon of The Sisterhood, Angelica Jones sitting on the edge of a wrestling ring.  A few feet away she watches as her younger sibling, the other half of the Sisterhood, Kayla Jones, laces into a heavy bag that dangles from the ceiling.

The concrete floor is gray and the walls are painted an off-white color, at least the walls that still have paint on them, as most of the paint on the walls have begun to peel.  There is a standard wrestling set up in the center, weights scattered all over the floor.  At one of the far ends of the room is a red heavy bag.  In the background we see a standard wrestling ring.  The ring has black ropes and a black apron but the mat is a Carolina sky blue.

Breakdown is coming up and Kayla Jones will be competing against Tyler Tucker of Adrenaline Rush.  Truth be told, this is exactly where she and Angelica have wanted to be for a long time.  They wanted to be squarely in the tag team division, they wanted to be active participants in the movement to revitalize tag team wrestling, not just in Supreme Championship Wrestling but in professional wrestling in general.  Kayla was sidetracked with the United States Championship, Television Championship, and the Best of the Best Tournament.  Angelica was sidetracked with the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament and the Best of the Best Tournament.

Now the distractions are all but over and Kayla and Angelica are not just back in the tag team scene but they finally have their guaranteed shot at the world tag team titles, by virtue of their win over the champions this past Breakdown.  A date with Autumn and Gable is now in the Sisterhood’s future, but before they can think about that, they have to deal with Adrenaline Rush.

The Sisterhood has unfinished business with Adrenaline Rush and their friend Stacy Kissinger.  They want some of Angelica and Kayla and that’s fine, The Sisterhood will gladly oblige.  And this coming Wednesday on Breakdown Kayla Jones will go one on one with Tyler Tucker of Adrenaline Rush.

And there’s no one better to prepare Kayla for this match than her older sister Angelica.

Angelica Jones is a thirteen time world champion and a member of three separate professional wrestling halls of fame.  Angelica has competed on the grand stage before on many occasions.  Angelica has battled many types of competitors, from brutal violent hardcore grapplers, submission artists, high flyers, to all rounders, Angelica Jones knows how to do it all inside of the squared circle.  If anyone can prepare Kayla for Tyler Tucker, it will be Angelica.

This is a match Kayla feels as if she needs to win.  She and Angelica want to finish this business with Adrenaline Rush and Stacy Kissinger once and for all.  She does not want to give them any excuse to keep in their business and a victory over Kayla or Angelica individually would give the Adrenaline Rush members reason to continue hounding and harassing The Sisterhood.  Angelica and Kayla, after all, could be the next SCW World Tag Team Champions.  But if Kayla loses here and now to Tyler Tucker, then this may bring about a title defense in the future against Adrenaline Rush.

Not that Kayla has anything against facing them as many times as she has to.  Ultimately, at the end of the day, she’ll do whatever she has to do for the best of the team, but if she can get rid of Adrenaline Rush right here and right now on Breakdown by defeating Tyler Tucker then she’ll do it.

“Harder!  Harder!”

Angelica exclaims as she watches her sister continues to pound away.

“Picture Tucker!  Yeah!  Picture your opponents as you lay into that bag!”

Kayla nods her head as she continues to throw hands.   A few moments later Angelica hops up off of the ring apron and approaches her younger sibling.

“Ok, stop.”

The younger Jones does as she is told and stands there, catching her breath as she waits on her next instructions.  Angelica points to a bar with weights attached.

“Lift the weights.”

“How many?”

“Just until I say stop.”

Jones kneels down and picks up the bar.  Then she begins to lift, up and down, up and down; Angelica smiles with pride as she watches her sister and tag team partner perform as instructed.

“Good.  Very good.”

After about twenty reps, Kayla puts the bar down.  Angelica frowns.

“Did I say you could stop?  Keep going.”

“Not right now.”

Kayla states in between deep breaths.

“I just need to…”

“Need to what?”

Angelica asks, sounding rather frustrated.

“Do you need to rest?  I hope that’s not it because you can be damn sure  Tyler Tucker won’t let you rest.”

Kayla nods her head.

“I know.”

“Do you?”

Angelica places her hands on Kayla’s shoulders.

“We need this win, sis.  The Sisterhood needs this.  We built up a lot of good momentum by beating Autumn and Gable.  We cannot afford for you to squander it by losing to Tyler Tucker.”

Kayla smirks.

“Kind of like how YOU lost to him in the Shot of Adrenaline Tournament?”

Angelica blushes embarrassingly.

“That’s different…”

“How is it any different?  I mean, you lost by disqualification but that’s it.  He didn’t pin you or make you submit.  But he still beat you.”

Kayla shakes her head.

“It’s no different, sis.  It’s no different whatsoever.”

“Fine, then avenge my loss!”

Kayla chuckles lightly.

“This isn’t about avenging a loss, either and you know that just as well as I do.”

Angelica sighs and nods her head.  She steps away and lets Kayla go back to work on the bag.  Kayla switches from the fists to the feet as she begins working her martial arts kicking skills against the heavy bag.  Even Angelica can’t help but look on rather impressed at what her sister is managing to produce here today.

“Aunt Kayla!”

Kayla stops what she’s doing and turns to the direction of the voice.  A grin spreads across Angelica’s face as she acknowledges the visitor.  Wearing a royal blue dress with a hemline that stops just below the knee is none other than Angelica’s daughter, Kayla’s niece Corey Jones.

“Corey!”

Kayla approaches Corey and embraces her with a hug.  After breaking the hug Kayla gazes down at her niece and smiles.

“What are you doing here?”

“There’s nothing wrong with wanting to watch my favorite aunt train for her match, is there?”

Kayla tilts her head to one side and smirks.

“Oh so I’m your favorite aunt now, am I?”

Corey shrugs.

“Look at my options!”

“True…”

Angelica steps in between Kayla and Corey.

“This is a surprise.  I thought you didn’t want anything to do with us.”

Corey sighs and nods her head.

“You’re right, I didn’t, but what you said and what you did these past few Breakdowns, the way you’ve turned yourselves around…”

Corey nods.

“…well I’m proud of you guys.”

On Camera
==========

The camera feed begins to roll.  We are outside in the bright sun when Kayla Jones steps into the scene from stage left.  The redhead is wearing a black long sleeve sweater, a knee length black ostrich feather skirt, and her feet are comfortably encased in black high heeled pumps with a sling back.  Her long red hair hangs unrestrained to shoulder length.  Jones steps to the center and then turns to face the camera.  A confident gaze is etched across her lovely features.

“Me and Angelica have been telling you for weeks on end now that The Sisterhood is not just serious but we are deadly serious.  We have been telling you for quite awhile now that the games and the jokes are over and that we are recommitting ourselves to this sport, to Supreme Championship Wrestling, and to the tag team division.  We have been telling you that we are dedicated to once again becoming SCW World Tag Team Champions.  But did anyone believe us?”

She shakes her head.

“No, no one believed us.  No one thought we had seriously dropped the games.  But then again, we brought a lot of that on ourselves didn’t we?  I mean, me and Angelica were the one who brought in Taco and Bell, we were the ones who started the Free Botswana bullshit, that was all on us and you have every right to doubt us and to doubt our sincerity.”

Kayla smirks.

“Actions speak louder than words and it will be the actions of The Sisterhood that force the SCW tag team division to sit up and take notice and take us seriously once again.  And this past Wednesday on Breakdown, we defeated Gable Winchester and Autumn Valentine.  We defeated the SCW world tag team champions.”

She pats herself on the chest.

“So do you believe us now?  Are you ready to take us serious now?  The tag team division in SCW has been put on notice.  Autumn and Gable couldn’t accept the fact that we had changed, that we were a force to be taken seriously, and you saw what happened to them.”

She taps her right leg.

“I kicked Gable’s teeth down his throat.  Now all Angelica and I need is just one shot.”

She holds up one finger.

“One opportunity is all we need at the tag titles and we will defeat them again, for a second straight time, and then we will be two time SCW World Tag Team Champions.  But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.  There are still other teams and other individuals out there who want a piece of the Sisterhood, who perhaps, like Gable and Autumn, are not prepared to accept the fact that The Sisterhood is back and badder than ever.”

“Badder is not a word.”

Kayla rolls her eyes as she hears her older sister’s voice.

“I know that, Angel.  It’s just a figure of speech!”

“Oh.”

Kayla sighs.

“Anyway, we are back and we are back to basics, we are back to doing what we do best and that’s simply kicking ass inside that squared circle.  Autumn Valentine and Gable Winchester learned that first hand this past Breakdown but apparently the team known as Adrenaline Rush doesn’t believe us.”

Jones shakes her head.

“Craig Thomas and Tyler Tucker, you boys do not believe us and you have to see it for yourselves.  You have to experience The Sisterhood firsthand.”

Kayla laughs lightly.

“It’s funny, because it seems that, no matter what, no matter where, no matter how, The Sisterhood and Adrenaline Rush always find themselves in each other’s company.  When we were the champions we fought.  We continued to fight even after we lost the titles.  I even managed to get into a bit of a struggle with your friend Stacy Kissinger.”

She tilts her head to one side.

“Stacy…I still owe you that rematch I promised you.  Name the time and place and we’ll settle it once and for all.”

She points a finger at the camera.

“But this is about you, Tyler…you’re the one who stepped up to the plate to face me.  Sisterhood against Adrenaline Rush, part four or part five or whatever.  Point is, we have done this many times, Tucker.  Our respective teams are no strangers to one another and if it comes down to it, if we become SCW World Tag Team Champions again, we’ll gladly defend the belts against you and Craig.  But for now, for purposes of this match between you and me on Breakdown, I have a suggestion.”

She shakes her head.

“Let’s drop the animosity.  A good professional rivalry is usually good for a tag team division to flourish and that’s what The Sisterhood wants.  We want to build back up tag team wrestling in this sport, not just here in SCW.  That’s all we’ve ever wanted.  Maybe we went about it the wrong way…”

“That point is arguable.”

Kayla turns her head to the right, glaring off screen at the direction of the voice of her older sister.

“Shut up, Angelica!”

“Sorry.”

Kayla rolls her eyes.

“…look, we admit we went about certain things the wrong way.  We admit that.”

“Speak for yourself.”

Kayla ignores her.

“Point is, we do admit our mistakes and we admit we haven’t done anything to benefit tag team wrestling.  But we’re ready to change that right here and now and it starts with The Sisterhood and Adrenaline Rush.”

She holds up one finger.

“Just for starters we have Money In The Bank…Lexi Von Aaron, Chanel Hunter, and Lenore Price Mason.”

She holds up a second finger.

“And in a direct response to them we now have Honor Code…Shaun Cruze and AJ Helms.”

She smirks.

“Now I don’t know about you boys, but I’m not about to just sit back and let them shape tag team wrestling in their image.  This coming Breakdown is an opportunity for the two of us, Tyler, to serve notice to anyone bothering to pay attention that exciting, high energy tag teams like The Sisterhood and Adrenaline Rush still OWN this tag team division!”

She shakes her head.

“But I’m not going to let up on you.  You’re going to get the best from Kayla Jones and I expect the same out of you.  I want the best from Tyler Tucker.  I want the two of us to put on a show for the fans and for the guys in the back that they won’t soon forget. But be aware, Tucker…”

She taps her right leg and a confident gaze forms across her lovely features.

“…this foot is made for kicking.  I kicked Winchester’s head off his shoulders and if you’re not careful, you’ll suffer the same fate, boy.  I’m fired up and ready to go.  I’m ready to prove my doubters and critics wrong…”

She points at the camera.

“…doubters and critics that I suspect include you and your boy Craig and your friend Stacy.  I admit, I’ve earned the doubt and the critique.  I’ve earned every bit of it.  But I’m prepared to earn the trust of the SCW locker room back, I’m prepared to earn the trust of the SCW fans back, and Tucker, if that means going toe to toe with you, having one hell of a match with you, and if that means kicking your teeth right down your throat…”

She snickers.

“…then by God I’ll just kick your teeth right down your throat.  And I promise you one other thing, Tucker, I promise you that win or lose, I will shake your hand when all is said and done.”

She shakes her head.

“This isn’t a game!  This isn’t a joke!  This is very real because it has to do with the very fate of tag team wrestling.  Are we going to sit back and let children define this sport for the next generation?  Tyler Tucker and Kayla Jones can help usher in a new age of competition and sportsmanship into tag team wrestling.  We can define this sport with our own brand of high energy high impact athleticism.”

She points at the camera again.

“But it all depends on you, Tucker.  It all depends on you and what you decide to bring to the table on Breakdown.  I can guarantee you that I will bring my very best to the table on Breakdown.  You will get the absolute best of Kayla Jones and you had better expect it if you know what’s good for you.  I’m deadly serious, Tyler.  I am not holding back and I am not underestimating you.  Not this time.  Never again.  And you had better come prepared for me, because I am going to unleash hell, Tucker.”

Kayla gazes intensely into the camera.

“We may be changed.  We may be different people in terms of our personality and our attitude but at the end of the day we’re still the same competitors who want oh so badly to become SCW World Tag Team Champions and you, Tyler, you and Craig are still obstacles in our path.  You are still my opponent and I am going to do to you what I do to all of my opponents.  I am going to defeat you.  I am going to kick you in the jaw and then I will pin you.  And I will end you.”
