Much is on the mind of Glory Braddock. Her mind has been weighed down heavily with the recent events of both her professional and personal lives. Where Supreme Championship Wrestling is concerned, The British Bombshell knows that she must focus first and foremost on Gavin Taylor. He has been very game and has earned some impressive wins lately. Now he is facing Braddock one on one on Breakdown from Seattle, Washington. Defeating the self proclaimed All Star should be her top priority. Unfortunately The British Bombshell finds herself distracted by another issue that seems to be of equal or greater importance; namely the SCW World Tag Team Championship currently held by Amelia Blythe and La Pequina Luz, Light in the Darkness. Braddock had held the tag titles alongside Brittany Lohan until Retribution. But neither Braddock nor Lohan were pinned or made to submit to lose the titles. They lost them in a triple threat when Ravyn and Syren were beaten by Light in the Darkness. Now there is a really good chance that Braddock and Lohan might not get another tag title opportunity for a long time and this does not set well with The British Bombshell. Not one bit. It doesn’t set well with her not only because she feels they were never truly beaten but also because she feels partially at fault for this scenario. It was Lohan’s idea to try and take out Ravyn and Syren, to try and put them on the shelf. But Braddock was reluctant to follow through. She hesitated. Now Glory is second guessing herself; should she have been more aggressive and ruthless? Should she change tactics going forward against not only Gavin Taylor on Breakdown but perhaps in a potential rematch for the tag team titles if she can convince CHBK, and Light in the Darkness, to grant them a rematch?
This should be the only problem Braddock is dealing with; especially considering the perpetrator of the car bomb that targeted herself and her friends, Francis Taylor and Melody Murphy, has been apprehended by authorities. Unfortunately the arrest only brought about more questions. The criminal was Andrew Meadows, a friend from the dark criminal past of Glory’s husband Kurt Logan. Glory had never heard of him before and, this made her realize, there is much about his past that she has never been told about. Kurt insists that there is nothing to know but she senses that he is holding something back. She senses that there is some reason he does not want to confront his past. He also argues that he doesn’t even know how to contact any of his family if he wanted to; but Glory doesn’t believe that for one second.
Lately there has been only one confidant, other than her husband, that she trusts more than anyone else, and whose advice she values above anyone else’s; the woman who she looks up to as a mother: Aphrodite Noel. Braddock and Noel were once fierce rivals but that was before Glory needed her help to save her company. Over a period of time working with her, Glory grew to admire her. That admiration became love. And when Aphrodite declared that she wanted a family of her own, Glory agreed to give her exactly that; she became Aphrodite’s adopted daughter. No one holds the kind of influence over Glory Braddock that Aphrodite holds. Glory would do anything Aphrodite asked of her. Anything at all, because Glory trusts her and her judgment above anything else. This is what brings The British Bombshell to the front door of Aphrodite’s Orlando, Florida home.
Glory Braddock stands dressed in a soft, flowing pink sundress that cascades gracefully to her ankles. The bodice of the dress hugs her curves delicately, accentuating her feminine form without revealing too much, while the sweetheart neckline adds a touch of romance to her ensemble. The piece is adorned with intricate floral patterns, each petal painstakingly embroidered in shades of blush and rose, lending an air of whimsy to her attire. Completing her ensemble are a pair of strappy sandals, adorned with tiny pink blossoms, which she wears with effortless grace. She rings the doorbell. Almost immediately it is opened by Aphrodite’s servant, Darrell.
“Hi Darrell.” Glory speaks, smiling warmly.
“Good morning.” He steps aside and motions for her to enter. “Come in, I will let your mother know you have arrived.”
Aphrodite’s staff is used to this strange relationship shared between Glory Braddock and their employer Aphrodite Noel. Glory follows Darrell through the door, through the hall, and into an opulent living area. Darrell makes another exit, presumably to retrieve Aphrodite, while Glory Braddock finds a seat on a plush comfortable cream colored sofa. Glory’s mind races while she waits. Part of her is anxious to get some much needed advice from a trusted confidant. At the same time she is nervous. Aphrodite worked hard with Brittany and Glory, helping them to secure the SCW World Tag Team Titles, and Glory feels at least partially responsible for the fact that they no longer have them. Will this woman, her mother, agree and fault her for the defeat? But Glory doesn’t have much more time to think or worry about any of that. She can hear footsteps entering the living area. Glory immediately rises up off of the sofa and turns in time to see Aphrodite Noel approaching.
“Good morning, Gloria.” Aphrodite says cheerfully. “You look positively radiant.”
“Thank you, Mother.” Glory cutsies out of respect. Aphrodite then embraces her in a gentle hug. After breaking the embrace she motions for Glory to sit.
“Sit down, my child. I will have Darrell bring us wine.”
“No thanks, Mother. That won’t be necessary…at least, not right now, anyway.”
“Oh? You aren’t running off so soon, are you?” Aphrodite asks. “You told me you were visiting and it sounded rather urgent.”
“It is.” Glory sighs as she sits back down. Aphrodite sits down next to her and pats her on the back.
“It’s quite alright, Gloria. I have an idea of what is bothering you.”
“You do?”
“Of course I do.” Aphrodite nods her head. “You and Brittany lost the tag team championship, titles that WE worked hard to obtain. Am I on the right track?”
“Yes.” Glory says quietly, nodding her head. “Team Desire has a match against Light in the Darkness but not us, not me and Britt. We’ve beaten Team Desire countless times. Light in the Darkness have never beaten us straight up. How is that fair? And instead of facing the tag champs, I am facing Gavin Taylor.”
“I cannot argue with you about CHBK’s poor booking ability. This match between Light in the Darkness and Team Desire defies logic. As far as Gavin is concerned, do not look a gift horse in the mouth, my daughter. This could be a big opportunity for you.”
“But I committed myself to Britt, to Twisted & Sadistic.” She shakes her head. “And I refuse to give up on the tag titles.”
“You don’t have to give up on them.” Aphrodite shakes her head. “Look at SCW lore and how many competitors were co-holders of the tag titles and held singles gold in the past. If they can do it, so can you. Who is to say you do not deserve an opportunity against Selena Frost for the SCW World Title? Or against Deanna and the United States title? Or the Television, Adrenaline, or Underground Titles? Why not you? Defeating Gavin…which we both know you can do…is a step in that direction. But as far as the tag team titles are concerned.” She points an accusatory finger at Glory. “That, my dear, is your fault.”
“My fault?” Glory asks. She had a feeling that Aphrodite would agree that it was her fault. Still, hearing it stings. Aphrodite nods her head in confirmation.
“Brittany and I have had our differences, this much is obvious, but I happened to agree with her strategy when it came to Dark Fantasy. Ravyn and Syren were completely unworthy of sharing the same air as you two. You should have injured the both of them and had you followed through, Retribution would have been just been Twisted & Sadistic against Light in the Darkness and you would have won. Instead you couldn’t pull the trigger and as a result Dark Fantasy was beaten at Retribution and YOU lost the titles.”
“I know…” Glory can feel the weight of Aphrodite’s eyes judging her “...but I didn’t feel right about it, Mother. I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do.”
“Right and wrong sometimes have to be ignored. Sometimes you have to be ruthless and more aggressive…like your mother.” She grins knowingly. “Perhaps we can work on that. How does that sound?” She snaps her fingers. Darrell returns to the room, this time carrying two glasses of wine. He hands one to Aphrodite and one to Glory before leaving. Glory shakes her head.
“I’d rather not…”
“Oh I insist.”
Glory sighs and sips her wine. Aphrodite smiles before sipping on her wine. She sighs. “See? Don’t you feel better?”
“A little. And maybe you’re right about that, but unfortunately SCW is the least of my concerns right now.”
“Really? Do you have trouble at home?” Aphrodite asks. “Usually you invite me to your house. It didn’t escape my notice that you came here to see me. Is Kurt giving you any problems?”
“Kind of.” Glory nods her head. She sips her wine again before telling the story. “When Kurt and I were just dating, I introduced him to all of my family, even my extended family. He even grew to accept the bond you and I share.”
“Eventually, yes.” Aphrodite remarks. “It took him long enough.”
“But what bothers me is the fact that I never really met any of his family. I met his sister, Katherine, but that was only because she happened to be a wrestler too. I never met his parents. After it was revealed that one of Kurt’s former childhood friends Andrew Meadows was responsible for the car bomb, I thought it might be a good idea to actually get to know his family. But he is very resistant on even trying to find them. He insists that they aren’t even alive…” she shakes her head “...but I don’t believe that. I sense that he is hiding something.”
“What do you need from me, my child? My advice or a favor?”
“A favor.” Glory states. “Use your resources to locate his family, at least his parents. If they are alive, find some contact information. I would love to meet them and, maybe, try to get them and Kurt back together again.” She takes Aphrodite by her hands. “I know the importance of having family in one’s life.”
“I will do what I can, Gloria. But if I may suggest, you may already have access to his sister.”
“Really?” Glory asks curiously. “How so?”
“Didn’t Katherine wrestle for GCW for a short time?”
“Yes…” Glory’s eyes light up “...so HR should have information on her.”
“Precisely.”

Seattle, Washington
On Camera
==========
The camera feed begins to roll. We are in the picturesque setting of Seattle, Washington. Nearby the Seattle Space Needle towers overhead, a landmark that Seattle is well known for. As the camera pans out to get a better view it eventually catches sight of a familiar figure. We zoom in and spot none other than “The British Bombshell” Glory Braddock. The beautiful blonde turns to the camera, acknowledges its presence, and smirks. The British Bombshell is wearing denim jeans, black boots, a royal purple t-shirt, and a black jacket. Her long blonde hair flows unrestrained to past the shoulders.
“So with Breakdown coming to this great city of Seattle, Washington, I just couldn’t help myself. I had to stop by this historic landmark, a place that Seattle is well known for.” She motions to the Space Needle in the background. “The Space Needle! Isn’t it grand? I know I love it. This great big tower, a symbol of human architectural achievement. But it also points high into the sky, perhaps symbolic to some how humanity continues to reach towards the stars? Of course my opponent tomorrow night fancies himself as an All Star. Gavin Taylor certainly has deluded himself into thinking that his All Star is just going to keep going higher and higher.” Braddock chuckles softly and shakes her head. “I certainly look forward to dashing his hopes and dreams and bring his delusional ass back to reality. But Gavin, my boy, I will get back to you in a moment. I have a more pressing matter to deal with; namely two others who believe that their stars are rising right now in Supreme Championship Wrestling. Amelia and Luz…” her voice trails off. Braddock’s face grows more serious as she pauses for a moment.
“...how does it feel? I’m sure it feels great to be tag team champion again but seriously, think about it for a moment, how does it REALLY feel? You may be the champions but what did you really do? You beat Dark Fantasy, a team you already beat twice before. This marks your third victory over those clowns. Now if CHBK ever gives those two bird brained buffoons another title shot then I might start questioning the logic behind CHBK’s decision making. Ravyn and Syren surely are OUT of the title discussion now after failing three times in three straight title matches. But then there’s our champions, Amelia and Luz, who conveniently negotiated a match with NO rematch clause? A match where they did not beat the reigning champions to win the titles?” She shakes her head. “I call bullshit on that and I call bullshit on your supposed tag title reign. Here are some facts. You have NEVER beaten us in a straight up team on team tag match. There was always some other shenanigans involved. If either of you have the first ethical bone in your body, and if either of you have any ounce of courage, you will not hide behind that pathetic bullshit ‘no rematch’ crap and you will defend the titles against Twisted & Sadistic. Straight up. No shenanigans. But I have a feeling you two will conveniently find a way out of accepting our challenge. After all, the one time you did face us straight up, we BEAT YOU for the tag team titles. And you KNOW that the same damn thing will happen again.” She holds up one finger. “All Britt and I need is one shot against you. Just one shot because we have your number.” Braddock’s smirk returns to her face.
“Now back to you, Mr. All Star Pain in the Ass. You really drew the short end of the straw on this one, buddy, because not only are you facing me but you are facing me when I am in a really foul mood. If you recall, we already have quite the history with one another. Remember when I was Adrenaline Champion? You were the top contender for my title. You stepped up and guess what? You couldn’t get the job done. Just like you couldn’t get the job done against Xander Valentine at Retribution. That’s been your modus operandi lately hasn’t it? You reach for the stars, just like this Space Needle here, and yet you fail oh so miserably. Now sure, I wasn’t victorious at Retribution, either. But at least I can take solace knowing no one in the match could actually beat me. Xander whipped your ass all over, Gavin. Now you look to rebound and against me of all people?” She chuckles and shakes her head.
“It’s quite laughable, Gavin. You couldn’t beat me back then. You couldn’t beat Xander at Retribution. You definitely won’t beat me tomorrow night when Breakdown rolls into Seattle. I understand that in the wrestling ring anything can happen. And maybe a year ago, you could have reached into your bag of tricks and pulled out a miracle of some sort. But things have changed and I am not the same person I was back then. Hell, I am not the same person I was since Retribution. Retribution opened my eyes and helped me realize my one fatal flaw, the one thing that I lacked and a result had been holding me back this entire time…”
“...ruthlessness and aggression.” Braddock pauses and then grins. She shrugs her shoulders. “Ok, I lied, that’s TWO things, but you get the point! I still love this business, I still love the fans and their passion for this business, but I realize that I have been going easy on my opponents for far too long. While others are ruthlessly and aggressively seeking dominance in SCW, I have been too content. That has changed, Gavin, and you are the poor unlucky bastard who gets to see firsthand just how much I have changed since Retribution.” She points back at the Space Needle.
“See that? That symbolizes the rise of Twisted & Sadistic back to the top of the tag team division, Gavin! Britt and I, we will rise back up and reclaim our top spot by being truly TWISTED AND SADISTIC as advertised. But you? You will continue on the downward spiral Xander put you on at Retribution. In fact, I will finish the job that he started. I will put you down and be done with you. You are not an All Star, Gavin. You are just a nuisance that I have to deal with tomorrow night. Instead of Twisted & Sadistic in tag action against the champs, the champs get an easy night while I get your annoying ass.” She grins devilishly. “But that’s ok, I will enjoy making an example out of you. You will serve as an example of what happens to anyone who tries to screw around with Twisted & Sadistic.” She points a finger at the camera.
“Luz, Blythe, I hope you pay very close attention tomorrow night. Pay attention to the lessons I learned from Retribution. Because I don’t give a damn about any no rematch agreement. Britt and I will beat you down until you give us the rematch we deserve. Because you know it, I know it, everyone knows it…Light in the Darkness CANNOT defeat Twisted & Sadistic. You never can and you never will.”
