 "#ANDNEW REVO1 WORLD CHAMPION SARA PETTIS!!!" "FATE SEALED! PETTIS WINS!" "SECOND GENERATION STAR WINS TITLE!" "UGH!! NOT SARA PETTIS!! REVO1 IS TANKING!!" "SARAH PETISS SUCKS! BOYCOTT REVO ONE!!!!!" The headlines have varied since Christmas Chaos… but the reality remains the same. For better or worse… I am your Revolution1 World Champion. This is my first major championship in… oh wow… ten years?! That's longer than most of the talent on this roster has even laced up their boots. I feel like a relic when I'm around these kids… but I'm only getting started. My second wind is in full effect and I'm raring to go. I'm ready to take on the world. Let's start off by addressing the "controversy" at Christmas Chaos. I use the term loosely because I don't see it like others saw it. Others saw me resort to a dastardly act in order to secure my rightful place atop Revolution1. The reality of the situation is I did unto Damien what he would do unto me. I used fire to fight before he could even light a match. All of the mind games he played were for naught. Through and through. I prevailed. There is no time to rest. To kick off this new year… it all comes full circle when I go up against Maggie Lockheart. She and I were destined to meet again, and how fitting it is that the stakes are this high. If you recall… she and I met up at the end of the Remembrance Battle Royal… where she won and punched her ticket to destiny. Then, of course, as runner-up… I ended up on the same path. The main difference is it only took me five seconds to win my title… while she endured her hardest-fought match to win hers. As we approach this historic unification match… we should be seen as equals… but I know the truth. I know the world views me as lesser because she was the main event at Christmas Chaos… and not me. She fought valiantly to win her title… and I seemingly took the easy way out. I can't change how people feel about me… but I can do my damndest to remain atop this organization after next week's supershow. A supershow, huh? It seems like there have been more supershows around here than regular episodes of Sin or Legacy. I guess it's fitting the brands are being merged then… which opens up the possibility for the Undisputed Revolution1 World Champion to reign supreme over the entire company. Once the dust settles on this match… there is a huge worry that is looming. No matter the outcome… there will be nobody left to challenge the throne. Over the last few months… Maggie and I have both disposed of any top contenders. Admittedly she fared better than I did… but I had Khaos disrupting my path every chance he got. The sentiment remains the same. We have done all we can do… and the final battle of our collective journey is… each other. When we were the final two at Remembrance… there was no way of knowing at the time that four months later we would have laid waste to all viable competition. Yet here we are. Virtually untouchable. Neither of us has been bested since we first met at Remembrance. One hundred and twelve days between our first encounter and our fated encounter. Uniting the brands is a twist in this saga that I did not see coming. While I was perfectly content with casually competing every other week, Fate has brought me to a point where I am confident in my ability to carry this company on my shoulders. There is a bright future ahead of Maggie Lockheart… but the present belongs to me. After a lifetime devoted to this business… I am finally back to where I need to be in order to take on the world by myself. No ghosts holding me down. No family holding me back. I am the one this company needs at the moment. All of the shady business in the last few months didn’t derail my momentum and here I stand… YOUR Revolution1 World Champion. This was meant to be… and there is much more where that came from. Tune in to the Supershow of Supershows for the showdown of the immortals when the face of the company is solidified. Her face is mine and mine alone. Search deep within and you will feel the truth, Maggie. Months ago, you said you didn’t want to stop me from realizing my true potential. Well, you’re looking at that true potential, sweetheart. I am in my element like never before. So now that your name is across from mine and mine alone on this card… I offer up the fairest of warnings I can possibly give you. Step up to me if you choose, but in the end… it’s look what you just made--- *BANG* **BANG BANG** ***BANG BANG BANG*** The pounding on the front door continues until our heroine has had enough. She aggressively opens the door in a rage and she is met with a joyful, talking hug from--- Sara: OHMYGOD LEXIIII!!!1 The young woman is known to the wrestling world as Lexi Sparkles… and she is the eldest daughter (that we know of at least) of former Trinity Wrestling Pure Champion Raging Dead. Sara: I didn’t know you were back in town! That town is Bayside, the home of our heroine. Lexi: My trip got cut short because the twins have one last job to do in [redacted] before their contracts are finally up. Sara: Well, good for them. They’ve busted their asses for too long to sit in catering every week. What are you up to this week? They head into the living room. Lexi: I was hoping I could tag along with you to the Sin and Legacy Supershow actually. Sara: That’s great! I was just finishing packing actually. Then it’s off to--- She pauses, scratching her head. Sara: Ummm honestly, I don’t know where the event is. I’m sure I wrote it down somewhere. It doesn’t matter where it is… because any house will be my house once I am Undisputed Revolution1 World Champion. Lexi: You sure you can beat her? Maggie looks like one tough nut to crack. Sara: That’s what they said about Khaos… and then I cracked him over the head with a steel chair. Lexi: Yeah… but that was a special match. If you hit Maggie with a chair, won’t it be a disqualification? Sara: Mayhaps. Lexi: And that’s a risk you’re willing to take? Sara: Mayhaps. As always… I’ll let Fate decide. Lexi: You sure put a lot of faith in Fate. Don’t forget that Fate took my father from us. They both get quiet… and that quiet is broken when Sara’s partner Jason enters the living room dressed in a towel. Lexi’s eyes widen at the sight of this chiseled man-made-god. Lexi: Ohh uhh hii, Jason. Our heroine smiles. Sara: What’s the matter? Have you never seen a man in a towel before? Jason: Canadians wear towels, too, ya know. The trio shares a laugh. Jason: Hey, Sare… I got an email while I was in the shower. That guy got back to me about the tryout match and I--- Sara: That’s awesome! You’ve got to take it! Jason: You sure? It means I’ll miss your match tomorrow. Sara: It’s totally fine. Lexi is going with me. The twins are finishing up at [redacted] and that freed up Lexi to come with me to… uhh… where are we going anyway? Jason: I put your travel itinerary on your phone. Just change my info over to Lexi’s and you should be good to go. Lexi: This is going to be so cool! It’s been too long since we’ve hung out at a show! And then they--- We were all in for dark days ahead if Khaos had remained champion. You could all see it. Nobody was brave enough to stand up to him. That includes you, Maggie. You had the golden ticket. You could have saved this company and liberated the championship. Instead you sought after the… Legendary Championship? That was a peculiar choice, based solely on how odd that looks on a resume. It sounds like a participation trophy. Jin was an honorable champion who carried around a consolation prize. What was it about… all of that… that drove your decision to not challenge Khaos for the REAL championship? It's just odd to me. Had I won Remembrance… the choice was blatantly simple. I suppose it all ended up as it needed to… to bring us to this very moment in time. Fate decided that you would dominate Legacy while I would flounder on Sin until it was time for the two of us to capture championships on the final show of 2021. Now we kick off 2022 as equals... but are we really? I have the better championship... but you had the better match. Your match was voted Match of the Year, right? That's amazing! Congratulations, Maggie! Let's follow that up by having the 2022 Match of the Year tomorrow night, huh?! If there are any two on this roster who can pull off such a thing... it has to be us... right? Look at the landscape on what will soon be one unified roster. There are few who are close but none truly like us, Maggie. What an exciting time to be part of history. One thing I hope for... is that when the dust settles and the rightful ruler sits atop the throne... the conquered will not be forgotten. I would hate for you to have worked so hard for so long... to be reduced to a faded memory of what a prominent champion you could have become one day. Mayhaps you need to let out what lurks beneath the surface. Where or where has Jenova been hiding? I’ve only heard whispers of her existence… but I have yet to meet her. Is she in there Maggie? Is her Black Legacy going to meet the Child of Fate tomorrow night? How much do I have to push you to pull her out? Could the glory of becoming Undisputed Revolution1 World Champion be enough to drive her to the surface? I genuinely want to know… because that will be Fate’s truest test of my durability, I believe. Like Giles Corey… all I am asking for his more weight. Pile on everything you’ve got, Maggie. Even if that means bringing Jenova along for the ride. Just know that there will be turbulence and I will do everything necessary to put… you… down. You saw what happened when Khaos crossed me at Christmas Chaos. You know that I am willing to go to any lengths to secure my place among the stars. I am prepared to go to the depths of the darkest corners of my soul to put… you… down. While you went through Hell with your match at Christmas Chaos... I see this as a much bigger challenge. Your trajectory from Remembrance brought you to that match and it was a sink-or-swim scenario for sure. Congratulations on not drowning, Maggie. You need to realize that by comparison... Jin was but a mere hurricane... whereas I'm a world-breaking comet headed straight for you. But hey. You could always follow in Damien's footsteps. Don't look up. You need to be ready for anything, as I can assure you that I will be, too. You can my belief in a benevolent and cosmic being such as Fate all you want. At the end of it all when there is nothing... your disbelief will be a miniscule atom floating in the abyss. Where will I be? Glad you asked. I will be at the right hand of Fate, overseeing the regeneration of all that ever was. When that happens... it won't matter that I was the Undisputed Revolution1 World Champion. But right now... in the present... it sure matters. The world needs me more than I need it. So does this championship. So does this company. And so do you, to be honest. Are you willing to make the same sacrifices to remain on top of Revolution1? That’s the truest question. This is not going to be a walk in the park for either of us… but the key difference between us is that I am willing to burn the park to the ground to get what I deserve. My name on the marquee is what I’m after, Maggie. Fate has brought me this far and the rest of the way is on me to prove that it made the right choice. What kind of grand champion would I be if I were to lose in my first outing as champion? Similarly, the question could be pointed right back at you. This isn’t self-doubt talking. This is self-preservation talking. There is a huge difference and you know that I--- We are taken to Bayside Cemetery in Ozone Park, New York. This is birthplace of Monster Mash, a bizarre event that was held under the Trinity Wrestling banner in October 2019. It is where our heroine’s mother is buried… as well as your departed husband. Before her trip to unify the top two championships in Revolution1, our heroine has decided to visit her husband’s grave while Lexi waits in the car. As she stands before his tombstone, a cold shiver courses through her body… and not from the winter air… but rather the feeling that somebody… or something… is watching her. She looks around and sees no-one… and yet… the feeling remains. She sighs and looks to his tombstone. Sara: It’s been a while, huh? The holidays were hectic. My bookings have been hectic. That could all be over tomorrow. Unifying the titles is a big deal and I don’t… I don’t know if I’m ready for it. I talk a big game but sometimes… I get the nagging feeling like it’s all a fantasy. I wake up and I don’t recognize my life. I turn over and you’re… you’re still not there. I sometimes don’t know what’s up from down. When I look in the mirror… I sometimes see through it to an unrecognizable version of myself. Through all of the things that I don’t know… what I do know is I have to see this journey all the way to the destination. When that destination is the Undisputed Revolution1 World Championship… there is obviously life after that… right? If I lose… the tension will subside. If I win… am I strong enough to do what needs to be done? A cold whisper travels over her shoulder and she closes her eyes. It sinks into her soul, and she nods her head. Sara: Ich verstehe die aufgabenstellung. Das ende. And then there were two. No Cerise. No Khaos. No Jin Min-jun. Just the two of us. You and I. Two of the very best to ever do it… and somehow both Alaskan natives. I don’t remember anything about the earliest days of my life… but I do remember my last trip “home”. Jason took me there on a surprise trip late last summer, shortly before my return to Revo1 actually. We visited the home where my mom gave birth to me, and it still looks like the pictures she left behind. Nome is such a beautiful place to live… but there’s just too much of me in New York that I don't think I could ever go back. Is that how you feel about Fairbanks? I apologize for not taking the time to discuss this with you before now. I imagine there are very few pro wrestlers who were born in forty-ninth state. Our differences are few and far between, Maggie. That’s what makes this match far more interesting than you versus Khaos… or me versus Jin… or even Jin versus Khaos. For such a monumental match to take place… the world deserves the very best possible pairing… and they’ve damn sure got it. The cream rises to the top, Maggie. We worked tirelessly for months to make it to this moment… and I am going to kick off 2022 by becoming the Undisputed Revolution1 World Champion. Now, I know you’ll say the same about yourself… and I’m sure you believe in yourself as I believe in myself. We are both going to talk in circles until it’s time to step into the squared circle. The time for talk is almost up… and then it’s time to throw hands. I need you to understand that these hands… these weathered hands… have fought so hard and for so long that there is almost nothing they cannot handle. Did you see what these hands did at Christmas Chaos? They swung a steel chair and ended the World Championship reign of a man known for his mind games. All of his most dastardly tactics were wiped away in an instant by that steel chair, swung by these small hands. These hands are small, I know… but they’re not yours. They are my own… and I am never broken. Through the neck injuries and concussions and broken bones and lost loved ones and… and… and… and… I am never broken. Let that sink in, Maggie. Let is course through your soul as you search for the strength to do what Mephistopheles himself could not do. I am never broken. Are you ready for what’s coming your way? I sincerely hope so. As confident as I am that this is going to be the continuation of the greatest period of my career… defeating you when you’re not at your best would tarnish the celebration that will inevitably come when I raise both championships high in the air. My name is Sara Nan Pettis. Embrace it. Remember it. Get fucking used to it. Maggie… The revolution is in my hands. This one’s for--- |
