The broadcast opens with an establishing shot of the OCW Unleashed set and the arena at large. The camera circles as a cascade of pyrotechnics explodes into life – we are live on Rush TV and the capacity crowd is going nuts. We cut to the ring where our OCW World Heavyweight Champion is standing, apparently ready to deliver a speech to the audience. Pugh is in his wrestling gear – a true champion is always ready after all – and he looks confident.

Pugh: Tonight. Is about progress…

He takes a deep breath

Pugh: See… four years ago – I stood in the ring after the first main event in OCW Unleashed history – my first main event in my OCW career. I’d just beaten Ace Angel, and I was on top of the world… and why?

The fans start a small Ace Angel chant – those of them who remember of course

Pugh: …because I understood what it meant to carry the show – understood what it meant to be the guy. Unleashed was the opportunity that I seized with two hands and now…

He pats the OCW Championship belt that’s resting across his shoulder.

Pugh: I’m here…

He pauses for a moment as the fans start a “this ain’t Riot” chant

Pugh: Unleashed means something to me because it was the start of my path to the top. See – others had Ambition… but you know who Unleashed spawned? Well let me remind you – Unleashed spawned me. Unleashed spawned Sean McGee. Terry Romero… hell in 2012 – The Steve made his in ring return on this damn show… and yeah… I’m going on a bit – but my point is this.

The fans are still cheering from mention of The Steve

Pugh: Tonight, we reopen the proving ground. Tonight we define ourselves a new era for professional e-wrestling. Tonight we throw the gauntlet down. If you want to show you deserve to be in OCW – then come to this show. Fans. New York City – this is not OCW as you know it…

He smiles

Pugh: …this is OCW UNLEASHED…

We immediately cut to ringside with our announce team as the fans erupt – ready for a night of OCW action!

	And with that, we welcome you to OCW Unleashed - Live on RushTV. I'm John Rivers and I'm back again!
	I'm sure the people are thrilled... I'm Double S and this is our first match...

Sophia was now the champion. Just thinking it brought a smile to her face. Champion. A long road of triumphs and brief disappointments had led to her finally being called, Champion. 

But things seemed different. The smiles of support had taken on a peculiar shape. The upturned mouths almost seemed be strained. The eyes of peers now seemed brimming of, well, it seemed to be contempt. 

Fake laughs filled the women’s locker room. Fake laughs and fugitive glances, never caught eye to eye but always sensed on peripheral of her vision. She had since retreated to the rooftop, quiet and peaceful it offered her a respite from the confusing mess below. She was convinced that this was her own secret, but the slam of the door broke that falsity. 

Ashley Blain: Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you. 

Sophia watched hesitantly, unsure of Blain. 

Blain walked up to her: May I sit down?

Sophia nodded. 

Blain took her seat overlooking the parking lot. The city rose in front of them in a beautiful display of blended colors. Blain took in a deep breath of fresh air. 

Blain: Different isn’t it? 

Sophia: What do you mean?

Blain: Having the title. She glances down at Sophia’s title, draped across her lap: It changes things doesn't it? 

Sophia looks at Blain with stern eyes: No. Same as before. 

Blain: Oh. Well I’m happy to hear that, I hope it stays that way...hey, can I tell you a secret?

Sophia nodded her head suspiciously: Sure. 

Blain: We’ve met before, I mean. Months ago. It wasn’t long after you arrived. We were actually all in the back, you, me. A few other girls. And we were having a chat about...who deserved what. I said one thing. Played my part, after that I left. I didn’t want to be a dominio, which is what the GM made us. Dominos in his little game. All the doe eyed idiots played along, they were happy to have a chance. Happy to be princesses, admired and sought after. 

Sophia continued to listen, nodding her head slowly. 

Blain: I admit, at first I thought you were just one of the fools. Just another princess with the looks.

Sophia flicks Blain off. She laughs. 

Blain: But as the dominoes started falling, and hearts were broken, and eye liner began to run, Sophia just kept fighting. I thought to myself that must be tough. On one side are men who demonstrate no appreciation for her and on the other side the more successful she becomes the more resentful her old friends become. So when you won at Lution…against that olderish lady, I saw it as a “screw you to the men” and demonstration of dominance over the girls. And I admire that that. And I want you to know that I support you, B supports you. And all that resentment that is harbored towards you means nothing because they can’t touch you. 

Sophia: I can appreciate that... And I do remember that conversation. You seemed pretty cool... Different from the others.

Sophia: See here's the thing. Sometimes I just have this irking feeling that we aren't taken seriously. It's almost like "oh hehe sure, let's just let these chicks come in and play their game of dollies, how cute." 

Sophia: Now let 'me' let 'you' in on a little secret. What a lot of people don't know about me is that I have somewhat of a hard time relating to these girls. I've always had fun just being 'one of the guys' so to speak. And, well... All some of them care about is their next meal ticket, or the hottest new shade of lipstick. Hell, Madison ruined a man's whole life! 

Sophia: Perhaps having this title means I lead the women's locker room, but do I really feel like one of them? Now, don't get me wrong... I couldn't be more thrilled about being the one to introduce the very first Turmoil Women's title. I'm excited to keep being a part of building this division and this brand. Just a bit uncertain of what the future holds... But I'm gonna fight like hell finding out. 

Blain: You know what that's called.

Sophia: Ugh...... Thirst?

Blain chuckles.

Blain: No no, not quite. Hunger. Hunger for success. Hunger for accomplishment and building something that will mean something not just now but down the road. 

Sophia nods in consideration. She fiddles with her hoodie strings, and props herself up with her elbows as she leans on the rooftop ledge. 

Sophia: Hmm yea... Maybe some of these ladies don't know it about themselves, but shit, I know I'm ‘not’ just another doe eyed broAHD from BAWSTAHN. 

Blain immediately gives a quizzical look to Sophia, which soon turns into a smirk

Blain:.... I knew you were from Massachusetts but all this time I thought you were from SAUGUS! And Never heard the Boston accent come out until now.

Sophia catches herself in the moment and chuckles as well. 

Sophia: Ha yea... It tends to slip out when I'm riled up, heheh. 

Blain puts her fist out for a fist bump: Steal the show? 

Sophia obliges Blain: Steal the show.

The scene opens with a view of Dennis's dressing room from the view of a slightly opened door. One would think they would have paid more attention to such a thing after Joe. Dennis plants one boot on couch before pulling up his knee pad. He takes a pause to savor the moment. The pair had come a long way in such a short amount of time.

Dennis: We did it, didn't we?

Madison looks up from her tablet, pausing it right at the moment Pugh pins Ortiz. She smiles at him.

Madison: We did, all on our own. We're a hot commodity now. To be featured on two season premiers within a span of seven days? Not many can claim such a thing. I mean sure it was last minute for what ever reason...but we're here. With another shot as Tank, no less.

She waves the tablet back and forth. 

Madison: And just think...in four...maybe five years, we'll be beating Pugh in the main event of Wrestlelution. Shattering that glass ceiling!

Dennis: Shattering that glass ceiling! Nothing can stop us now. 

Madison: Nothing. 

The overly confident dynamic duo share a high five before Dennis returns to his primping and Madison goes back to watching Wrestlelution Ten.
