Last week was an emotional roller coast for The British Bombshell. She walked right into SCW Apocalypse and defeated Drake Hemmingway of The Jackals. He had a size and power advantage and had been planning to send her to the hospital, but in the end it was the British Bombshell who dropped Drake on his head and it was Glory’s hand that was raised in victory. First defeating The Jackals in the eight person tag, then defeating Drake Hemmingway one on one at Apocalypse, getting back to her winning ways felt good for Glory Braddock. But as sweet as victory in professional competition can be, she still had to endure the potential bitter taste of painful and bad memories a few days later in her own home of London, England.
Yes, Glory Braddock had been approached twice by Thomas Gage, a man whom she had a romantic relationship with when they were both teenagers. During one of their passionate nights of love making Thomas would end up getting Glory pregnant. The pregnancy would frighten Thomas away and send him running for the hills. Glory was forced to raise the child, Melinda Braddock, practically on her own with sole help of Glenn Braddock, Glory’s father. Thomas remained off the radar for twenty years until he finally reappeared and twice asked to see his and Glory’s daughter. Despite her reluctance, The British Bombshell did agree to a reunion. And that meeting took place just a few days following her one on one victory over Drake Hemmingway.
The meeting went well enough. Thomas poured on the charm and while Glory still is not fully convinced of his change of heart, Melinda Braddock seemed to be genuinely happy to have met her father. She seems to buy into her father’s sincerity about being a changed man and about wanting to make up for his past, wanting to atone for his sin of abandoning Glory and Melinda. Melinda Braddock appears to once again be happy, which is at least one good thing to come of this; for poor Melinda has not truly been happy since she lost the love of her love, Archie Van Stanton, several months ago in a home invasion. The return of her father has at least in part helped raise Melinda’s spirits.
Glory Braddock is still worried that Thomas will let her down. He already ran off and abandoned her once before. He swore that he would not do so again but Glory isn’t ready to believe him just yet. Plus she isn’t quite sure what Thomas’s true agenda actually is; does he just want to be back in Melinda’s life or does he want more? Does he want Glory back as well? She wishes she could have gotten more answers but there was little time. Glory Braddock was needed back in North America. In Toronto, Ontario for Breakdown she will be competing one on one against Diamond Steele. Plus she will find out her potential fate for the next installment of the Trios Tournament. Braddock won the Trios Tournament in back to back years. If she gets chosen for Trios again and wins again, this would be the third year in a row she won the prestigious tournament.
So The British Bombshell finds herself back in Miami, Florida. Her luxury home has its own private gym and that is where the blonde beauty finds herself right now. She is in purple shorts, white shoes, and a plain white t-shirt. Her long blonde hair is pulled into a ponytail in the back. She is at a heavy bag furiously attacking it with right hands, left hands, and occasionally mixing in a few kicks for good measure. The look upon her face is one of intensity and that is because she does not see a heavy bag in front of her. She sees the object of her aggression; no, not her opponent coming up on Breakdown, not Diamond Steele. When Glory looks at that heavy bag, she sees Thomas Gage. She looks at that heavy bag and sees Thomas, she thinks of how he abandoned her when she was pregnant, she thinks of how now twenty years later he shows up and wants to suddenly be a part of Melinda’s life. It brings anger into Glory’s heart and soul and she unleashes that anger upon the heavy bag. Braddock’s intense workout has her so focused she doesn’t even notice her husband walking in.
Kurt Logan had planned to get some work out in himself. He is dressed in black workout shorts, shoes, and no shirt. He smirks knowingly as he watches his wife furiously attack the heavy bag. He has seen her like this before. This is nothing new for him. He folds his arms over his chest and chuckles. A few moments later Glory does finally figure out that she is being watched. She stops her assault on the heavy bag. She sighs and turns to face her husband who now has a big grin on his face.
“Don’t stop on my account, Glory. You were teaching that bag a lesson it won’t soon forget.”
“Funny, mate. Real funny. What are you doing down here, anyway?”
“Dawn [Logan] fell asleep watching a movie. So I figured why not come down here and workout? Just because I’m not an active wrestler doesn’t mean I don’t want to stay in shape. You never know when I may decide to make a comeback.” He winks knowingly. Glory chuckles as she approaches her husband. They lock lips in a brief but passionate kiss.
“I know that’s a lie.”
“You think you know me so well, eh?”
“Yes.” Braddock nods her head. “You love me and our children too damn much to ever come out of retirement. That girl up there, Dawn, you love her too much to come out of retirement and force her on the road all day every day just so you can relive your glory days.”
Kurt chuckles lightly and nods his head. “You’re right, I would never do that to Dawnie or Mel. Or to you.”
Glory kisses him on the lips again. “And that’s why I love you. There is more to being a parent than just having similar DNA. I wish Melinda knew that.”
“Care to talk about it?”
Braddock sighs. She turns and walks over to a bench that is set up against a nearby wall. She sits down. Kurt sits down next to her. Glory picks a towel and wipes the sweat from her face. “I’m just worried that Melinda is setting herself up for disappointment with Thomas.” Glory shakes her head. “I’m afraid I made a mistake in letting her meet him.”
“You didn’t make a mistake.” Kurt states, wrapping an arm around his wife’s shoulder to comfort her. “Did Thomas make a mistake? Damn right he did. But he is still Melinda’s father and Melinda is a grown woman, she is an adult, she has every right to get to know him if she wants.”
“Yeah and that’s another thing, I feel terrible leaving her alone there in Europe in such close proximity to her father.” Braddock growls with a hint of frustration in her voice. “I should have stayed there with her!”
“Did you forget what I said about Melinda being a grown woman now?” Kurt says as he smiles knowingly at his wife. “You have to trust her judgment. Besides, she is not alone. She has her aunt. Didn’t your sister promise to look after her?”
Braddock nods her head. “Yeah, I suppose Chastity will make sure nothing happens. But still…”
“What would happen? He may be a jerk for running out on you but he is still Melinda’s father. Surely he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her.”
“You don’t know him like I do.” Glory says, shaking her head. “But you’re right, he is her father. I would like to think he wouldn’t do anything. And Chastity is keeping tabs on Mel; so anytime I want an update on Mel I can just call Chastity.”
“Right and besides, you have responsibilities here and now of your own. You want to stay active. You told me that yourself, you said that you preferred to remain active rather than take any sort of break. I questioned your decision at the time but you’ve proven me wrong. You worked excellently with Lucas, Cannon, and Christy in defeating The Jackals. You defeated Drake Hemmingway at Apocalypse. Now you have another match, this time against Diamond Steele on Breakdown. Now do you still want to remain active?”
“Yes, of course.” Glory nods her head definitively.
“Then you need to stay here and trust your grown up daughter to make her own decisions, you need to trust your sister to take care of her if needed, you need to just learn to let go and trust.” Kurt leans over and kisses Glory on the cheek. “Believe that everything will be ok.”
Braddock forces a smile on her face. “Ok, Kurt, I’ll try. It’s just hard to cut the apron strings, you know? It’s hard not to want to try to maintain control of everything. Then again, my dad was like that. I suppose I get it honest, at least.”
“And you always resented him for not trusting you more. You resented him for trying to control everything. You don’t want Melinda to grow to resent you the same way you resented your father, do you?”
Braddock shakes her head. “No, no I don’t.” She stands up, so does Kurt. “It’ll be tough but I am going to trust Melinda to handle herself when it comes to Thomas. But that doesn’t mean I trust him. I’m not sure if I will ever trust him.”
“You don’t have to trust him, Glory. From what you’ve told me, I can’t blame you for not trusting him. But you should trust Melinda. Be there for her when she needs you, but you should still trust her and if she wants to give him a chance, let her give him a chance.”
“And if she’s wrong?”
Kurt sighs. “Sometimes we learn valuable lessons from the mistakes we make.”
“But at what cost?”
“Your sister is there to make sure nothing bad happens to her.” Kurt places his strong but comforting hands upon Glory’s shoulders. “Just give your daughter the chance to step out on her own and make her own life decisions. You are here for her now but one day you won’t. She will have to learn to do this on her own eventually. You can’t be there to hover over her all the time and protect her all the time.”
Tears are forming in Glory’s eyes. Kurt immediately embraces his wife in a tight hug. “It’s ok, Glory. It’s ok.”
“I know you’re right, Kurt. I want to let go and let her make her own decisions. I want to let Melinda walk on her own. I don’t want to become like my father. It’s just so hard to do that with Thomas back in the picture. I know what he did to me. I know how he let me down and I don’t want that to happen to Melinda.” She shakes her head. “I can’t let that happen to her.”

We open inside of a production studio. The cameras are locked upon a plain blank set with lights set up nearby. A few moments later and the clicking of heels on concrete floor can be heard. Then ‘The British Bombshell’ Glory Bradddock steps into the scene from stage left. The beautiful blonde is wearing a black knee length skirt, white silk blouse, black blazer, and black patent leather high heel pumps. Her long blonde hair hangs straight to past the shoulders. A confident grin is etched across her face as she stops dead center in front of the camera.
“Apocalypse has come and I want to just say that I feel absolutely fantastic. I am riding high on cloud nine and what wouldn’t I be? I did exactly what I said I would do; I marched right into Denver, Colorado and got myself a hard earned win. Furthermore I exposed one of the Jackals, Drake Hemmingway, for the fraudulent piece of crap he truly is.” She chuckles. “Drake, mate, you talked about how you were going to send me to the hospital? You ran your mouth as if you were planning to break me in half. Yet here I am, looking better than ever. Hell, I look like a million bucks.” She points a finger at the camera.
“But you were humbled at Apocalypse. You didn’t send someone much smaller than you to the hospital. Instead you got your ass kicked all over Denver by someone much smaller than you. I hope that serves as a lesson not only to you, not only to the rest of your little Jackal pals, but to anyone else who thinks that they can push The British Bombshell around. I have made a career out of getting back up time and time again and fighting all comers, of defeating the toughest of challengers. Did you think I would sweat you, Drake Hemmingway? Did you think I would sweat any of your Jackals? I don’t sweat you. I don’t sweat anyone in SCW. And the challenge I laid out on social media weeks ago is still there for anyone who wants to face me…just give me a call, I’m not that hard to find, and I will fight you. But if you step up then be prepared to bring your best because you will be facing one of the very best professional wrestlers in the world today.”
Braddock chuckles. “That brings me to Diamond Steele. I don’t believe we’ve met but I look forward to meeting you and facing you in the ring at Breakdown. After fighting a bunch of tantruming gimp children for the past month or so I am definitely looking forward to what hopefully will be a normal, respectful, wrestling match. Imagine that? A normal wrestling match! You don’t see that nowadays? It seems that there’s always someone out there who wants to interfere in something that has nothing to do with them, or someone who wants to spit in the face of tradition by introducing a little anarchy and carnage instead of simply wrestling. I don’t know you, mate, but I am an optimist and I am the kind of person willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. So maybe, just maybe, you and I can actually have a wrestling match on Breakdown that doesn’t devolve into chaos.”
“And for you this must be a great opportunity. If you have any kind of intelligence within you then you will know enough to do your homework. You will know that I am a former SCW World Champion, a former SCW Adrenaline Champion, and a two time Trios Tournament winner. And as it turns out, Trios Tournament is returning and the brackets will be announced on the same night we face off. If I’m chosen for the tournament, I guarantee that I will win the bloody thing three years in a row. I can say all of that with confidence because I know how good I am. I know that there are very few who can match my technical ability inside that ring. If you want evidence just look at what I did at Apocalypse. A big monster, or maybe I should say a big bully named Drake Hemmingway, he thought he could push me around. Instead I made him my bitch, dropped him on his head, and beat him in the center of the ring.”
“What were you doing at Apocalypse?” Glory asks curiously. She pauses, as if waiting on an answer. She smirks. “Oh that’s right, you weren’t there. Now that’s not intended to disparage you or disrespect you. We all have runs of bad luck. You had a match at Rise To Greatness, but you lost to Crystal Zdunich. In fairness I also had a match at Rise To Greatness and I, too, lost. We both had opportunities since then to rebound and that’s where we go our separate ways. You lost to Jessica Tremor. But I fought side by side with Cannon, Knight, and Christy Matthews to take down The Jackals. Then I defeated Drake Hemmingway at Apocalypse. Now you have another chance to make a statement, another chance to prove your worth to Supreme Championship Wrestling. It is quite an opportunity you have in front of you, Steele.”
“Can you seize this grand opportunity before you, mate?” Braddock shakes her head. “I’m not sure you can. You have yet to prove yourself in SCW. But me, I have proven myself time and time again as someone who can seize upon opportunities. And I will seize upon this opportunity to once again prove myself as one of the best wrestlers on this roster. That’s what you are to me, Diamond. You are an opportunity. But me? What am I?”
Braddock shakes her head. “I am not merely an opportunity. And you are definitely not going to make a name for yourself in SCW at my expense. Like I said, ever since Rise To Greatness we have gone our separate ways and we will continue to go in those separate directions. Me? I am going to continue my winning ways and you will once again go down in defeat. You will again fail to seize upon a great opportunity presented to you because you will not outwrestle me, you will not outthink me, and you will not defeat me on Breakdown.”
“What is this match for me? It is my time to serve notice to anyone else out there who may doubt my guts, my courage, and my will to win. The Jackals doubted me, so I took the fight to them. Drake doubted me and I dropped him on his head. And if you doubt me, Diamond, then I may drop you on your head too. Or maybe I will make you tap out to the Shekhinah Glory? Either way the end result is the same; I will be victorious, continuing my climb back to the top, and no one will stop me.”
Glory shuts her eyes. “Sic Semper Tyrannis…”
