The scene opens to the hospital room where Becca “Bruiser” Maguire was taken to last night after the Caged Turmoil match pitting the Shieldmaidens against the Coven. Bruiser is lying down in bed, wearing a neckbrace, as sitting beside her is her wife and fellow Shieldmaiden, “Psycho” Saoirse Maguire. Bruiser slowly opens her eyes and looks around the room, taking in her surroundings before looking over to Psycho who has a hold of her hand with her head down.
BruiserWhat the fuck happened?
PsychoTh’ Coven surprised us…
Bruiser slowly sits herself up in bed, holding her neck due to the dull pain in it.
BruiserThe last thin’ I remember was someone chokin’ me from behind with a chain. Please tell me that despite them surprisin’ us that we still managed to put those bitches in their place.
Psycho lowers her gaze in shame.
PsychoI dinna bae saein’ any oter way out… I tapped tae stop Frost from puttin’ ye out more…
BruiserWait, what?! Frost?! As in Alastair Frost?!
Psycho nods, still looking away guiltily.
PsychoAye, tha bae him.
Bruiser’s fists clench in anger.
BruiserI’m gonna fuckin’ kill him on AMMO!
She looks at her wife, who is still looking guilty and Bruiser sighs, allowing the anger to simmer before she takes hold of Psycho’s hand.
BruiserI’m sorry I let thin’s get to the point where ya’ll felt ya had no choice but to tap on my behalf. I should be the one feelin’ guilty for puttin’ ya in that situation. I was so fuckin’ Hell bent on provin’ that I wasn’t the weak link o’ the group. Ya’ll have nothin’ to be ashamed o’.
PsychoI couldna lose ye as well….
Bruiser squeezes her wife’s hand a little.
BruiserI know… come here and give ya fool o’ a wife a kiss and a hug. I’m still feelin’ too groggy to move that much.
Psycho nods, moves in closer, leans over and hugs her wife.
PsychoI love ye, Bex!
BruiserAnd I love ya too, Sorsh.
The two share a passionate kiss before Psycho re-takes her seat.
BruiserSo have ya heard anythin’ from the doctor on my condition? I don’t wanna be out with another fuckin’ injury already.
PsychoTh’ doctirs bae callin’ it touch an’ go. I tink they would bae much happier if ye were nay booked on Sunday this soon after but, ye are. I tink we should get ye a follow up wit Gata in a few days an’ sae whot she tinks. Ye might jes bae sore by then anyway.
BruiserOh I’m havin’ that match on Sunday regardless o’ what I’m fuckin’ told. I’ve spent enough time on the injured list and Frost deserves a fuckin’ beat down for what he did.
Psycho nods knowingly.
PsychoShould still go sae Gata fer a follow-up. She might aeven bae able tae give ye cortisone or sumtin’ tae make sure ye get trough yer match.
Bruiser nods.
BruiserAye, I will. So was there anythin’ else I missed last night other than Frost costin’ us the win?
PsychoSam was taken, they found her in th’ boiler room, so I was told. I wasna there fer it.
BruiserShit… is she okay?
Psycho starts to shrug.
PsychoI… dinna know?
BruiserWell hopefully I’ll be able to get my ass outta here soon. Who’s takin’ care o’ RJ?
PsychoTibs was baefore th’ show. I tink Aoife an’ Hairicin picked him up after.
Bruiser nods.
BruiserRight. Well… how about ya’ll contact Bullet and find out if Sam’s okay and then see if ya can grab the attention o’ one of the doctors and let ‘em know I’m awake so we can find out when I can get the fuck outta here, aye?
Psycho smiles.
PsychoAye, I kin do tha…
Psycho stands to her feet and takes her cell phone from her pocket as she makes her way out of the room as the scene fades.

The scene re-opens to the inside of one of the appointment rooms where we see Bruiser sitting on the bed and looking around the room as she awaits Dr Catalina Carbajal, also known as La Gata Negra, to the Shieldmaidens and Chrome Dragons, to return from checking out her neck injury.
BruiserFuckin’ hate hospitals.
Not long after the phrase escapes her lips, the door opens and in walks Gata with an x-ray of Bruiser’s neck that she puts up onto the film viewer. She also has a clipboard in her hand that she quickly looks over and seems to make a few notes with her pen.
BruiserPlease tell me it’s good news, Gata… sorry… Doctor Carbajal.
La Gata Negra
You have just enough of a contusion for it to be a…
She pauses, allowing herself the first smirk Bruiser had ever seen from the woman.
La Gata Negra
A pain in your ass.
BruiserAs if I don’t have enough pains in my ass already…
Bruiser chuckles a little.
BruiserSo, does that mean I’m gonna be cleared to compete on Sunday? Coz I’m facin’ the fuckin’ scumbag who was responsible for my neck bein’ the way it is.
La Gata Negra
I would clear you to compete tonight if it was necessary. I would advise you not to compete for another week, but I will not stand in your way. You are healthy enough to do so if you so desire.
Bruiser nods and folds her heavily tattooed arms across her chest.
BruiserAll right then… so… would ya’ll recommend I take somethin’ before my match? Just to make sure I’m at least free o’ pain while I’m kickin’ the ever-lovin’ shite outta this ass hole?
La Gata Negra
That depends on your current pain level.
BruiserKinda depends on what I’m doin’, so maybe since I’m gonna be competin’ in a match, and since my opponent knows fine well that my neck ain’t gonna be one hundred percent, might be best to get somethin’.
La Gata Negra
You have no history of drug abuse yourself, yes?
Bruiser shakes her head.
BruiserSmoked a bit o’ weed durin’ my college days but other than that, never touched anythin’ else.
Gata nods and writes her a prescription.
La Gata Negra
This should get you through the weekend.
Bruiser gets to her feet and takes the prescription from Gata.
BruiserCheers, Doc. I’ll catch ya later… hopefully under different circumstances.
La Gata Negra
Try to return in one piece?
Bruiser chuckles again as she makes her way towards the door.
BruiserI’ll do my best, lass.
Opening the door, Bruiser then leaves the room as the scene fades.

The scene re-opens to the lounge where we see Bruiser sitting in a chair facing the camera, a small table in front of her with a bottle of water resting on top of it. Looking into the camera, Bruiser intwines her fingers together and shakes her head.
BruiserYa know… when this match was first announced before Black Magic… I had already started thinkin’ o’ what I wanted to say to my opponent, Alastair Frost. I was gonna comment on how much I respect him not only as a person and a competitor, but for also bein’ a soldier. I have a lot o’ respect for the men and women who fight for our country, and even though I barely got the chance to know him, I knew that my grandfather was a soldier and he fought in World War II.
She picks up the bottle of water, unscrews the cap and takes a drink of the clear liquid.
BruiserI’ll admit… I still do respect ya for ya service to our country… but after what ya’ll did to me at Black Magic? That respect I had for ya as a person and a competitor as gone out o’ the fuckin’ window! Which honestly seems to be a somethin’ that happens often in this company. The amount o’ people outside o’ my Shieldmaiden sisters that I respect here is growin’ smaller and smaller. All because o’ the decisions that these people end up makin’.
Resting her elbows on her thighs, Bruiser leans a little further forward, maintaining eye contact on the camera.
BruiserWhat do ya’ll expect to achieve from bein’ a part o’ the Coven, lad? Do ya honestly believe they give a flyin’ fuck about ya? It’s clear from how Black Magic ended that Jansen Myrrh created the Coven for her own gain. I fuckin’ called that the next target was gonna be Skrabz… and what does Skrabz have in his possession? The Ultimate Championship. The pinnacle o’ Mile High Wrestlin’.
Bruiser picks up the bottle again and takes another swig.
BruiserWhat do ya’ll think is gonna happen if Jansen manages to overcome Skrabz and takes the Ultimate Championship from him? She’s gonna fuckin’ get rid o’ ya… coz she’d have no reason to keep ya around anymore. And that’s the difference with the Shieldmaidens… we hold most o’ the fuckin’ gold here in Mile High but we are still a unit, we are still sisters coz THAT is what is the most important thin’ to us aside from our families.
She balls up her fists and begins to crack her knuckles.
BruiserYa’ll made a big fuckin’ mistake stickin’ ya nose into our business… not only did ya cost us the win in our own fuckin’ backyard… but ya made my wife suffer. Ya’ll forced her to submit so she didn’t have to go through the fuckin’ pain o’ losin’ me so soon after losin’ her own brother!
Bruiser closes her eyes and rolls her neck, taking a deep breath in and slowly exhaling as she re-opens her eyes.
BruiserI’ll give ya credit where credit is due… ya’ll have proven to be a force to be reckoned with since ya debut and are currently undefeated. Well I hope ya’ll are enjoyin’ that undefeated streak o’ yours as well as enjoyin’ ya handiwork at Black Magic, lad. Coz come Sunday… in my AMMO debut? I’m gonna make ya wish ya’ll had never been fuckin’ born! I’m gonna make ya beg for mercy when I get my hands on ya and wrap ‘em around ya fuckin’ throat and make ya’ll feel exactly how I felt at Black Magic when ya almost choked the life out o’ me with that chain!
Taking some more gulps of water, she crushes the now empty bottle in her hand.
BruiserFrost? This Sunday at AMMO? Ya’ll are cruisin’ for a bruisin’... and ya’ll can kiss goodbye to ya fuckin’ undefeated streak, lad!
And with that, she tosses the crumpled up bottle at the camera and the scene fades.
