La Pequena Luz vs. “The One” Kirsten Scott

[TheOne]

{PROMO}

Each day, each night, each match, they become harder.  And it's to be expected when you're the one who is being asked to go out there, night in, night out, and defend a championship in the BIGGEST promotion in this business.  And yeah, I feel it.  I have battle scars.  I feel my muscles ache.  I have the training staff putting me back together and keeping me as healthy and in shape as I can be for each match.  And I could give it up at any moment, you know?

I really could...

I could sacrifice this title for my health, and simply walk away and plan for something more, but I don't.  I go out there.  I go out there and continue to take the pain and take the beatings I expect because I know that when all is said and done, those will only make me better and stronger.  But the one thing I don't do, the one thing I pride myself is having, is a sense of honor...

Which leads me back to Breakdown, and Alexis Quinne...

Alexis... Our paths were supposed to cross with you bringing your A game to the ring, and pushing me to my limits, and what I saw in the ring was you, rolling around the outside of the ring, acting like you had nothing left.  Initially, I just thought you didn't have what it took to step up to me, and were taking the easy way out, but then, someone said I should watch it back.  It's something I don't usually do because I'm too critical of myself, but they insisted I see what I needed to see, and I saw what Sarah Wolf did.  I saw her mist you in the eyes and blind you...

And that...

That I am not OK with...

You see, I said this before our match, and it's plain and simple... More and more people are trying to stick their noses into my business because they have a personal agenda, or they want to be the one who stops the person from achieving their ultimate goal.  In this case, I think it's a little of both.  I think you and Sarah have a bit of a past, but I also think she's got a bit of a greedy bone in her body, and wants to take from you, the opportunity to take me out.  And honestly if she's going to try and get her way this way, fuck her, she can go to the back of the line because this championship over my shoulder, it doesn't work like that... You EARN your way to me...

Now having said that, Alexis, I believe you have earned your way to me.  I believe you have earned a right at this title.  So, if I still have this title coming out of Breakdown I give you my word that you and I will cross paths again and I won't hesitate at putting the title on the line.  I won't berate you.  I won't say you don't deserve it, by using the trope that I've "beaten you before," because I know Sarah Wolf took you out.  I don't know why, and I don't care.  I'm willing to fucking say she can eat a bag of dick and take her janky input on my business elsewhere because I'm on a mission to do something special...

And THAT is be the GREATEST Television Champion Supreme Championship Wrestling has ever seen...

And if people like that involve themselves in my business, and ruin my chance, or put doubt in the eyes of anyone, that I am doing what I am setting out to do, guess what, they will be refused service.  Because I may be the 7-11 Champion of SCW, and open 24/7, 365, defending it more than any other belt in the business, but I have the right to refuse service.  And Sarah Wolf, consider yourself someone who isn't getting a Slurpee anytime soon because you crossed "The One" in HER WHEELHOUSE by trying to inject yourself where it didn't belong.  If you had EARNED your chance, if you had PROVEN yourself, you would be on my radar.  Now you're simply on security's surveillance to be removed from my presence going forward...

And let that be a warning to everyone in this business... You want a shot at me, prove yourself.  Don't hope for SCW to draw your name out of a hat, because they're running short on candidates to keep me busy.  You earn your shot.  You call your shot.  You MAKE your shot.  You don't go out there and fuck over someone else's, thus fucking me and MY legacy over as well.  Because then, and only then, do you become someone I would do the same to... I would find the corner-cutting way to ruin YOUR CHANCE, simply because that's the precedent you created.

This title isn't something you just get to have as a jump start, anymore... This belt isn't something you get to USE, just so you can say you've been a champion... This belt MEANS something, now, and I will continue to prove it, night in, night out, and never stray away from someone, big or small, rightful or random, who crosses my path...

Kirsten lifts the championship, having been on one shoulder, to the next, before continuing.

... But it does bring me to a bit of a weird moment, where I kind of am at a loss for words, and that's this coming Breakdown because, you see, I have an opponent.  I'm defending my championship.  I am doing what the Television Champion is expected to do, but, there is a bit of a conundrum when I say with the utmost respect, who on God's green Earth is La Pequena Luz?

Seriously, I am at a loss...

I have gathered she's a female Luchador and outside of that, I don't know much about this woman.  Which means I am a bit of a loss when it comes to how to prepare.  Because when you look at a Luchador, male or female, they present their own list of challenges.  They create their own sense of risk involved with every match.  They typically are the high fliers who want to run ropes, fly high, and create a sense of awe with every move they make...

And on top of that, they tend to make it sexy...

But what good does that do me?

Honestly, not much...

You see Luz is walking into this match with me with a major advantage because I don't know her background.  I don't know her style.  I've been told she's a tag specialist, but this isn't that kind of match.  That means she's bringing HER forte to the ring, and not her team's.  That means she is coming to the ring with a gameplan that just involves her, and most likely an aerial assault that I will have to adjust for on the fly.  Which also means I am going to have to get out of my comfort zone to prepare for an attack that isn't in my wheelhouse.  I am someone who fights.  I am someone who grapples.  I am someone who is willing to grind someone into submission, and yet, people who sacrifice life and limb tend to have a bit of that, "je ne sais quoi" to themselves where, they just don't care about their bodies, pain, or what they go through in order to get ahead...

And yeah, that kind of makes me a tad on the nervous side of things...

But I will also say that has been my entire career here, in SCW...

I walked in with no training... I walked in here with no expertise... I came in here wanting a fight and wanting to change a system that reminded me of my past so much, that it rekindled that fire within me.  So fear, nerves, none of that even registers for me.  I expect it.  I need it.  I YEARN for it.  I want it to be the catalyst that drives me every time I walk out there, and every time I either knock someone out, or choke someone out.  Why?  Because without the doubt inside, you have nothing to fear.  You have nothing to make you continue to get better and question yourself.  So a high flier, a Luchador, someone who is going to take me out of my comfort zone is just what I need to continue to improve...

And Luz... I hope you're ready to be that person...

Because when you come down that ramp, you may be doing flippy shit, and making yourself into some Cirque du Solei spectacle.  You may be doing everything you can to get in my head from the very start.  And for that, I'll thank you in advance because if you succeed it'll piss me off even more.  Anyone who actually CAN get me into my head pisses me off and makes me immediately begin to dissect you and your abilities bit by bit.  I begin to find your weaknesses even before the bell sounds.  How?  Because everyone shows them.  It's a matter of translating them and understanding them.  So you can bring the pomp, the circumstance, the wow factor, and I will ultimately find the ultimate way to ground you...

And once you're grounded... All flights will be canceled for the night, and you'll be hitchhiking back home to Mexico!

You see, Luz, you're coming into a match with some advantages, yes, but I also believe a lot of disadvantages.  The fact you're a tag team specialist, the fact you're someone who relies heavily on the person watching your back doesn't serve your purpose here.  This is, as they say, mano a mano.  You and I only.  No friends to watch your back or tag in when you've been grounded from flight school  Instead, you're responsible for your own successes and failures, and I ask you this simple question...

Are you ready for that?

Like I said, you don't have a history that I'm as well versed at knowing.  And while that may be because your skills as a tag team specialist are not where I ventured into may be why I don't know, it still reflects the fact you're walking into a match where your skills, your reflexes, your initial reactions to situations, aren't going to benefit you.  What happens when I hurt you and you turn to the corner, and nobody there to tag in?  What happens when you're ready to pull off some flippy-shit double team move, and you don't have the person you need to facilitate the flippy-shit part?  Can you truly exist alone in a ring, with someone like me, and something this prestigious on the line?  Can you show the world that "The Little Light" can shine brighter than that of the team she is a part of, and glow on her own?

Or will you be a bulb that loses its filament and simply goes dark?

These aren't questions I have for you, Luz.  These are questions I know you have for yourself.  This is your biggest moment on your own and you have to rise to the occasion.  You have to step up and show the world that you're not someone who NEEDS a partner, but can stand, or fly, on her own two feet.  Because if you don't, if you have the rug pulled out from under you, that light will burn out quicker than a birthday candle at a kid's pizza party.  But if you can hang with Kirsten Scott, you'll immediately go from someone just known for her tag team prowess, to someone who, win or lose, can be considered someone ready for a run on her own in the future.

The opportunity is there for you...

The problem, however, is that you're running into a champion, determined for greatness...

You're running into a champion, determined to make history...

You're running into a champion who, once Breakdown is said and done, will make bigger waves than anyone could imagine...

But... Before those waves, you're running into a champion who is ready to teach you fact from fiction.  And the fiction is that someone who brings something new to the world of Kirsten Scott can blindside her and take advantage of her lack of experience.  Where the facts are, that is what everyone has done so far, and this title is over my shoulder for the second time.  So I would say that makes FACTS outweigh FICTION... Just like death... Taxes... And "The One" Kirsten Scott!
