Attrition: Divas Title Match

[Dominic Reynolds]

Madison Simmons vs. Velvet Sky vs. Lyara Jayde vs. Destiny Knight
(Thy WWE Divas Championship)

Three very competent divas, all who have what it takes to be champion are going to do what none have been able to do so far, defeat the impressive Lyara Jayde with the Divas Title on the line. Lyara seems to take her game to the next level when her title is on the line, will this night be the same? Or are we going to see a new champion finally get crowned.

The scene opens up and Destiny is seen inside of the garage seated right in front of Eric’s desk. A weight set along with some video tapes is seen surrounding the desk. She has a TV on top of a big file cabinet placed right next to the desk as she leans back on the office chair she is seated on. She lets out a sigh before starting to speak.

It all comes down to this, four women wanting the same piece of gold. Only one has the ability to walk out of Attrition with that peice of gold, and that someone is going to be the one that wants it the most. How about I start off with the most decorated of them all, Lyara Jayde Storm. When talking about you, no one needs to explain the reason why you look like the odd one out of the group. You and Myself don’t come off as Divas an athlete of our caliber is wasting her time trying to reach for a title that is too small for her. I was expecting to see you asspiring to bigger things, but was surprised to see you down here. I can’t even explain in short how much of an honor it is to have you in the same ring as myself. It’s people like you and Ana that inspired me to give wrestling a second chance. I was able to see that women are capable of succeeding in a man’s world, as they used to call it, and wanted to join the action. I looked up to you as both a role model and as a competitor that I wanted to face at least once, and we have done this many times haven't we Lyara? Unfortunately, we have to share it with two other women.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, this is the dream match I’ve been wanting for a while. Unfortunately, surrounding events in our personal lives delayed the eventual match up from happening. Since you left to "find" yourself, you missed me finally becoming the athlete that Stalker II and you knew I could become. The shyness of being new to this business was finally wiped away and exposed on a big stage. Granted, I lost that match against Valerde', but I wouldn’t count out a second chance at redemption. Every time I face off in a ring, I get closer and closer to my destiny. The destiny to become a Champion once again and hold that Championship with pride. The destiny to give the people someone to be proud of. This match could very well be between us two. Allow me to congratulate you on all that you have done. All distractions aside, you can rest assured that I can make sure this match ends up being a match everyone remembers months later. When I first started in this business, I grew up idolizing you when I would travel with my boyfriend while employed in Z.X.W. before our firing. This match is where it all begins; this is where I can see if all that hard work was in vain or if I have truly reached my true potential. As if facing Lyara Jayde Storm wasn’t enough of a thrill and a dream come true at that, imagine defeating her? God, I can’t even put into words how exciting that would be, but I don’t want to jump ahead.

Lyara I’d say my chances walking in are pretty good. I have waited several years for this opportunity, you could bet your ass I’m going to make sure this match lives up to its hype. I want to give Thy a Champion to be proud of, which means that these are the times when I often do the unthinkable. This is where all compassion and sympathies die. Don’t take it personal; when it has to do with Championships, respect has no place. The focus and determination of wanting to succeed is too big to ignore. I’m sorry, but I can’t let something this big slip past me. I’ll still talk to you after the match, but this is where the competitor comes out. Good luck, I’m sure you won’t need it, but I don’t want you to think of me as a complete asshole.

Destiny takes a drink from a can of Sprite that’s sitting in front of her on the desk. She then places it right back on the desk and smirks.

From the veteran of this group we go to the opposite, the one that in effect is the new kid on the block. Madison Simmons reminds me a lot of myself in her ring style and her attitude. I’m sure our styles could play into a pretty good quality match. You have had a pretty interesting start to your career as well, but we all know that when titles are placed in my path, it’s not often that I lose. Sure, you have defeated your fair share of big names, but it doesn’t get bigger than the former number one contender. If you want to cement yourself as a threat in this industry, you have to get through me first. As you’ve been able to see, that’s a hard task in itself. You want to give me your speech about me being overmatched like the rest of the gutter sluts? Go ahead and try it, because when I am doubted is when I am at my best. Although our backgrounds are similar, experience is where it stops. I now know what it takes to return to that position. If you were to win and become the Diva's Champion, you would be in for a ton of surprises. You are a very talented athlete and very versatile. Desire and motivation is not enough to pry her hands away from that Championship.

When you depend on your wrestling skills alone with such a top caliber athlete, they have a counter for literally everything. With each match I’ve had, I’ve come closer to reaching my dream of holding gold on my own on a big stage. Third time is the charm, I’m more than determined to claw my way there. Sure, you could go ahead and tell me your past and say that you have had enough trials and tribulations to be overlooked again, but in this case it wouldn’t work. Why? Because you’re talking to your clone, I’ve had my trials and tribulations as well, yet you don’t see me boring the hell out of people with my past. No, I use it as study material to not make the same mistake again. If I get the chance to wrestle you one on one, it would be a treat for sure, but like I said to Lyara, it wouldn’t matter in a match of this big importance. Whether we are clones or opposites, it wouldn’t matter. What would matter is me keeping my eyes on the prize and that’s what I’m planning on doing, regardless of what offensive rebuttal you might have in mind.

Destiny leans back and takes another drink of her Sprite before shaking her head and preparing to speak.

Which brings us to our final competitor. Velvet Sky, are you actually going to show up this Sunday and try to take the Championship you feel you rightly deserve, or are you going to play your games and run again like a little bitch?

Scene fades to black.

Scene I

"So You Think You Can Take Me?"

The scene opens up in the Thy WWE arena as we see the thousands of fans in attendance as they wait in anticipation of the arrival of Sweet Nightmare Lyara Jayde Storm who has been deep in training for days on end especially for the upcoming PPV Attrition for her match with her opponents Velvet Sky, Madison Simmons and Destiny Knight Lagos.



Don:

Welcome to another exciting Thy WWE show...I am Don Pickles



Phil:

I am Phil Latio and do we have a show ready for you tonight!


Don:

That's right Phil but one match in particular has the fans and locker room tonight on the edges of their seats... Attrition is only just a few days away and we have a power packed action filled card lined up especially for you our Thy WWE fans


Phil:

Yes the match up between the fearless Diva's champ, Madison Simmons, Velvet Sky and Destiny Knight Lagos for the Diva's division title holder. The sheer tenacity and dominance of Lyara has been an unstoppable force in the division here for some time now. My guess is this could be anyone's match...but I have to go with our champ on this one, Don



Don:

*talking into his headphone*

Well Phil...business is about to pick up...I just received word that the champion herself is going to be making an appearance tonight before the match to address her opponents and the Thy WWE Universe at large



Suddenly......the stage, ramp and ring are lit ablaze with fire and smoke as Lya's music blasts through the arena









We see the Thy WWE Diva's Champion, The Sweet Nightmare Lyara Jayde Storm standing on the top of the stage looking around at the fans. The crowd erupts into cheers of "Sweet Nightmare". The Jamaican beauty walks through the smoke as though she has no fear of it, making her way to the ring as the fans continue to cheer her on. She then enters the ring doing her famous ring entrance and signals for a microphone. She is given a mic and begins to speak.....


Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

So Madison, you claim that you are the *doing the finger quotes* shit, huh? What have you done recently to back that up? Not a damn thing!!! You call yourself the "Quintessential Diva"? Are you fucking kidding me, chica? What is exactly quintessential about you? Your "relationship" with the so-called "World's Greatest"? Please don't make me laugh. Luckily I haven't eaten yet or I would be seriously be hurling right now.

She runs her fingers through her honey blonde hair as she thinks for a minute before continuing on with what she has to say.

Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm


Then again, looking back on things; you two seem to have some things in common being that the closest you both have come to touching gold in the past few weeks is the jewelry that he wears and that he buys you. So I guess that I can see why you two are so joined at the hips. You weren't worth the money you are getting from Gunn and you aren't worth shit now!!!! Well I am the real deal and tonight you will learn to never make claims that you can not back up.

The crowd gets behind Lyara as she continues to speak her mind regarding her competition at Attrition. You can hear the determination in her voice and see the focus on the champion's face.

Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

Let me make it known right now, Destiny...I am glad that I get to face you. This is something we have both wanted for a long time: the opportunity to go head to head and test our limits to see who really is the best out of the two of us. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that we have reconciled our differences and that we are friends again. When it comes down to gold being on the line, we both already know what the deal is. I know you won't hold back on me and you know I won't hold back on you either. That is the way we both want it to be. We have fought side by side in PCW for years; we captured gold separately as singles competitors and as tag partners. We are both hardcore divas to our very souls. I have not forgotten anything your late father has taught me and I hold those teachings close to my heart. I only hope that our fight does your father's legacy justice.

The crowd erupts into "Stalker" and "PCW" chants in honor of the late great Stalker Knight.

Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

Just because you three made it this far to challenge me doesn't mean shit to me. In my first match here, I captured this title and I held on to it ever since. Yea I lost a match to Angela Salveti. But unlike most Divas, I am still here kicking ass and taking names. Oh btw Velvet, we all know the reason why you didn't last long in TNA was because you didn't quite cut it and management got tired of seeing your legs spread wide open! Talent had nothing to do with it...otherwise you would still be in there! Your best bet is to go back to the beach and work on that tan...

Tonight you three are going to learn a valuable lesson....when you play with the Sweet Nightmare....GET READY TO PUT TO SLEEP AND....


*the crowd yells GET LAID THE FUCK OUT!!!!!*


Scene II

"I Hope You Are Prepared...I Know I Am..."
The scene opens with a screen void of color as it crackles to life. The white snow gives way to several sayings by celebrities and philosophers with a common running theme:

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. ~M. Kathleen Casey

If you're going through hell, keep going. ~Winston Churchill

A bend in the road is not the end of the road... unless you fail to make the turn. ~Author Unknown

Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known. ~Garrison Keillor

You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Turn your wounds into wisdom. ~Oprah Winfrey

Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. ~Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~Barbara Bloom

As the last saying fades, we see our Thy WWE Diva's Champion in meditation as she prepares herself mentally for the battle that lies in wait for her. Her mind is focused and clear with one goal in sight: to leave Attrition the same way she came...as the Thy WWE Diva's Champion. She rises up from her floor and stretches to ready herself for her Tai Chi exercises.

As she goes into the stances, she flows in total sync with her mind and soul in perfect nirvana. She transitions from one pose to the next effortlessly, centering herself even further as her mind looks ahead to Attrition.


Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

"I know that there are detractors that are counting on me to lose this match. I even know that are those who are expecting me not to even show up. I got a surprise for all those who are awaiting my down fall. It is not going to happen. This is my time to shine and to show these people that I am not a flash in the pan...to show them that I am not living in my cousin Layla's shadow but in fact that I am surpassing her in every way."


She continues her routine as she does every day. Her movements become even more fluid and flowing as she goes from one to the next, her breathing in perfect timing.

Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

"Madison, I know you think this match won but I hate to disappoint....wait a minute...no I don't especially if you are the one to be disappointed. This match will be your toughest yet. We have not come face to face since Ascension in the battle royale; you know...the match you swore up and down that I "cheated" in. So you really have no idea of what else I am capable of. I have grown even more in my ring skills since our encounter that night. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that you wouldn't believe."


Lya finishes up her Tai Chi and settles in to do her yoga. She sets up her mat and begins her positions.


Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

"Velvet, you had a lot of strong words to say during our "run in" at the hot tub a few months back. Let's see..."you deserve this title and to keep it warm for you" I think it was. Lately you have taken the silent approach. That must be really hard for you not to have anything to say. Maybe it is that you finally realize that you are not the best in women's wrestling. You may be one of the best....you are far from being the best there is. Chris Jericho you are not....not by a long long shot. Your best bet, Velvet, is to go back to TNA where you had a chance. Your luck just ran out here."


The concentration on Lya's face is evident as she continues her yoga exercises. She is extremely focused on her match; her mind is clear of all distractions allowing her to look ahead to what lies in wait at Attrition.


Thy WWE Diva's Champion//Lyara Jayde Storm

"Destiny, out of all my opponents in this match...it is you that I have the most respect for and that is due to our history as friends and partners. We have pretty much done it all together: we trained together, we lived together, we fought together, we kicked ass together and we have been champions together. Out of the three of you, it is you that I am looking forward to locking up with the most."

"You see...I know that you will give me the competition I crave and be honorable about it. I know without a doubt that you will not stoop to deplorable tactics to win against me. I know for a fact that if by chance you should happen to best me, you will have earned that victory honorably and with integrity. So like you, I do hope that we are the last two standing in this match. I know what you can do and you know what I am capable of. So I know that we both will give the fans their money's worth and then some. Having said that.....see you all at Attrition and come prepared. I can guaran-damn-tee that I will bring it and deliver like I always do."

The scene fades out as we see our Diva's champion continuing her exercises.

That time had finally arrived, the time were Madison Simmons went to Attrition to take on Lyara Jade Storm and Destiny Knight for the women’s champion she had been eager to hold on to for quite some time now. It all started off when Madison Simmons she did the unthinkable and defeated every single diva on the roster…..Well, almost. Now all who was left was Destiny and Lyara, and that’s how she got to have the number one contenders spot for the women’s championship which is being held by Lyara Jade Storm. Madison Simmons was the last diva standing which was the start of her young career. She was more than happy to be at the stage of being a number one contender – all she wanted to do now was win a the champion. Thanks to her countless wins Madison Simmons is now getting to that stage to rightfully call herself a true women's champion.

Last week on Monday Night Raw Destiny and Lyara did the unthinkable and they beat Madison and her useless partner, Velvet in a tag team match; although it was a tag team match they had gotten the pin, that delt quite a blow to Madison’s chances of winning at the PPV. Especially now that the duo knew they could beat Madison, there was a possible chance that they could do the exact same thing but this time WIN or even retain the women’s champion. There were no chances getting in Madison Simmons’s way now. It was Madison Simmons against Lyara and Destiny with the women’s championship on the line. Three of the divas eyes were on the prize which was to become the women’s champion; to be the top of the divas division and it all started now. In theory the only thing which probably stood in her way was her new “boyfriend” Brian Gunn...

Attrition had finally arrived and the cameras began to zoom around the sold-out arena with mixtures of fans cheering for their favourite superstar and/or diva or basically trying to catch everyone’s attention. Mixtures of brightly coloured neon signs stood out in particular from the crowd – half of the reason was because they were wearing the superstar’s merchandise which well always seemed to be black in this case. Continuously the cameras zoomed around each member of the audience giving them half a second of fame at the slightest showing the sold-out arena for the pay-per view which was in New York City. The cameras then ended up outside giving you a full shot of the arena they were in with the “New York” logo suddenly appearing. Not hesitating anymore the cameras ended up back around the arena scanning through the audience once again. Although just before anything else revolving around the audience happened, the screening system changed to Madison Simmons who was walking down the hallways feeling awkward wearing the “Brian Gunn” T-Shirt which her new “boyfriend” demanded for her to wear. Her facial expression was slightly disgusted at the top but she just looked straight ahead of herself with the words “up next” appearing in the bottom right hand corner. The cameras got into position awaiting Madison Simmons’s entrance.

The upbeat them blurred around the arena with the crowd getting onto their feet for the Quintessential Diva roaring her with boos from which looked to be like every audience member fan or no fan. The cameras got into position preparing themselves for Madison Simmons’s entrance who seemed to be a under dog so far, she was glad she was a under dog because Madison Simmons could relate to near enough every under dog in the business. A person who’s not expected to win, yet, steals the spot light just the same. The black curtains began to scuffle with Madison Simmons then throwing them behind her with a spotlight going into the center of the ramp way. The Quintessential Diva skipped into the center of the ramp way stopping there and then looking to the left of her also raising her left arm into the air pointing sky-high. The crowd continued welcoming Madison Simmons to New York City with boos masked with cheers coming from each and every single one of the audience members. Madison Simmons had followed the rules of her new “boyfriend.” And she still continued to have that “Brian Gunn” top on which was demanded by Brian Gunn of course although she had... “Re-modified” it to become more Madison Simmons. Although she wasn’t going to wear it for long... Millions of flashes from throughout the arena began to bounce off of Madison Simmons with everyone wanting that one shot of the bubbly diva. Madison Simmons began to skip down the ramp way almost looking towards the audience extending her arm and slapping the palm of her hand against some of the fans. Her eyes glanced over towards the other side also doing the same showing respect for her fans. She continued walking down the memorable ramp way with that smile across her face finally making it down to the ringside pointing to a few members of the audience and waving to them. The Quintessential Diva lifted her knee up onto the canvas side placing her hand onto the bottom rope helping herself hop up onto the canvas. Madison Simmons stood at her full-height on the canvas side with her hand placed on the top rope supporting her balance. She leaned forward lifting her left leg over the bottom rope then pulling herself into the ring. Madison Simmons skipped to the center of the ring smiling once again towards the audience as her theme tune came to an end. Madison Simmons walked over towards the ropes, asking for a microphone from one of the staff at ringside. She took the microphone walking back to the center of the ring, extending her arm and speaking into the microphone with that calm tone added to her voice.

Madison Simmons: “ Aw guys, you’re amazing! I wish I could just... Hug each and every single one of you! ( The crowd unexpectedly cheered for Madison Simmons new attitude. ) But please if you try and get into the ring I’m sorry but the security guard will have to do his uh OR HER! Job by kicking you out! ( She held her free hand up innocently. ) Heeey I just follow the rules I’ll give each one of you a super Madison Simmons hug if I win the women’s champion eh, eh? ( She let out a small wink. ) And believe me they’re something... ( She looked around the arena. ) Woah this place is like huge! I’ve gotta hand it to you congratulations on selling this thing out! Once ya’ll gone I’m gunna try and see if this place echo’s. But thanks for making me feel welcomed here guys! You didn’t realise how nervous I was back then I felt like I was going to barf! But don’t worry It’s passed now! You all didn’t pay to see the magical vomit of Madison Simmons did you? ... Well I hope you didn’t because that would be waaaay creepy! Ya’ll here to see Madison Simmons kick Lyara and Destiny’s butt? ( Another cheer came from the audience. ) I thought so! You don’t know how much of an honour it is to be here I’ve always dreamed of standing in front of a sold-out audience. Back when I was riiiight up in the nose-bleed section I remember saying to my dad that I wanted to wrestle here and now. HERE I AM! ( She chuckled. ) On that note HI DAD! ( She let out another giggle. ) I’m not out here for that reason though Attrition is like NOW and I’ve got probably one of the biggest matches in my career EVER here. Against that... ( She raised her eye brow. ) Idio... ta? ( Her eyes opened wider with a smile growing on her face. ) I got that right! Lyara. ( The crowd had a mixed reaction after Madison Simmons mentioned that name. ) Yep that’s right, boo Madison and her lacky Destiny. Boooo, booo, BOOO! ( Another chuckle came from here. ) Boo you Lyara. My point is I’ve got a match against Lyara and Destiny for that women’s championship WHICH may I add. I should of beat her and her little plastic loving friend Destiny MONTHS ago. Sooo technically her title should already be mine. ”

Madison Simmons took a pause for a second letting the audience soak up all what she had said so far. Her eyes glanced quickly around the arena still with that exact same smile on her face. She moved the microphone down from her lips circling the ring for a second or two. The crowd tried to start a small chant for Madison Simmons but it didn’t last an amazingly long period of time because then Madison Simmons raised the microphone back up to her mouth and continued speaking from where she had left off which was on the subject of Lyara and Destiny.

Madison Simmons “ Yep anyway... Let me say this right. ( She began putting on a Lyara accent. ) Lyaaaaaaara Stooooorm. She’s driven me up the wall, all she’s does is complain! And moan! Then more complaining! I’m not sayin’ that it’s wrong or anything it’s just... She can’t back up her own words. The plastic lover Destiny Knight complained saying that she’d be able to “beat me.” And if my lil’ ol’ memory jogs back to that triple threat, I essentially beat her! Case closed there argument is invalid. ( Another giggle came from her. ) Although my dream it’s finally coming true. At Attrition for all the people who always got taken for granted I’m gunna win the women’s champion and then we can celebrate... We can turn down the lights... Light a few candles then switch on my Xbox 360 and then I’ll be able to kick all of ya’lls BUTT’s at CoD. I’m sure you all are like me, sick and tired of all of these divas walking around acting like they’re already the top of this business when they’ve just recently signed. Mhm I don’t have a big “welcome” sign on my anywhere do I? Because I feel like I do. When I’m around all of these “new” divas they seem to treat me like a doormat. Just because I’m the most petite doesn’t mean I’m un-noticeable. I’m not thaaat small! I know it may seem it! And I know it may seem that I had to get this shirt... Custom made but that’s a total different story! A total different story indeed!"

Taking another small pause Madison Simmons moved the microphone back down from her lips nodding to her head at what she had to say almost agreeing with herself. She stood there tall well... Small but she was happy to have gotten where she is in a short period of time. It was about time people got some positive attitude in this company and not all the other divas that didn’t have a funny bone in their body AT ALL. Madison Simmons was the bubbly diva which people could rely on to help them and to relate to them in some way. After a short second of silence Madison Simmons continued to speak into the microphone, smiling away.

Madison Simmons “ I hope you can agree with me when I say this but I’ve gotten so far since being here don’t you think? ( They cheered. ) Aw you guys really do make me blush! Lyara needs to get out of her little dream and enter the real world. Yaaknow where everybody hates her and has no respect for her what-so-ever. ( The crowd where shocked at what she had just said. ) I’m kidddiiing... I don’t know how Lyara has prepared for this match... I’m excited but nervous totally nervous! Perhaps the duo of Lyara and Destiny did last minute training like I did? ( She had a serious face, but then she suddenly burst out laughing. ) ... Maybe not! They’re probably in there locker room not giving the title match a care in the world. In fact considering Angela BEAT her last week there’s a good chance she’s going what I was recently doing and squeezing in more training. There’s not much for me left to say I’m extremely nervous for this match I swear I don’t even dare to look up to the screen because I probably look like I’ve seen a ghost. A Lyara ghost. ( She then shivers. ) Dreams do come true so far my career has kicked off with a bang. Not exactly a “bang” but still a bang. I can feel the butterflies going around in my stomach and they’re not friendly. It’s not like those cute, innocent butterflies you see on Tom and Jerry. Nope, it’s like thick metal butterflies which you’d expect to see on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They’re not nice; they’re the worse! This is my first proper time in New York City where I get the chance to look around Yaaknow. Empty my purse in all the game shops here. ( She moves onto the final words. ) Big things come in small packages even if I don’t win tonight at Attrition you won’t see the end of me because. There is NO getting rid of me! What so ever! ”

Those last words had come out of Madison Simmons’s mouth dropping the microphone onto the canvas as it echoed through the entire arena. The upbeat theme tune hit around the arena once again from where it cut off just a few moments ago. The Quintessential Diva raised her arm into the air pointing to some members of the audience. Madison then awaits for her title match to start with a brief smile across her face. The Quintessential Diva thought...no, she knew this was her time to shine!
