Triple Threat Match

Wednesday October 6th
Zdunich Mansion
Hollywood, Hills
Los Angeles, California
6:00 AM PDT

Crystal Zdunich was up bright and early. It had been a few days since the events of Throw Down had happened and the Afro-Mex beauty definitely wasn’t in the right state of mind. It had been three days since she had dropped the ball in the Rise of the Phoenix tournament but more importantly than that she had failed to protect her wife. Her own daughter Brittany Williams had not only decided to place her hands on her but she also attacked Seleana as well. As if that wasn’t enough her own best friend Stephanie had decided to jump in as well. Crystal felt empty inside. She didn’t say a word to anybody, and on top of that she wasn’t eating. Her family was desperately worried about her but Crystal didn’t care. The only thing on her mind was the fact that she failed to protect the person closest to her.

Everybody in the Zdunich mansion was asleep except that of Crystal Zdunich. She had made her way to the bathroom where she closed the door behind her. Her eyes shifted over to the scale. She drew in a long deep breath before she decided to step on it. After being on it for a few moments the screen on the scale read “110 lbs”. Her eyes moved to that of the mirror as she took a long glance at her reflection. Her reflection just grinned in return as it spoke to her.

Hilton: Look at you, you are a fucking wreck. You haven’t been eating and you lost five pounds because of this. You are nothing but one big fuck up. Had you just done things in only the way that perfection can deal with it. You wouldn’t be in this mess.

Crystal looked at the reflection as she quickly backed away. She shook her head as she started to snap back at her reflection.

Crystal: Shut up! You don’t know what you are talking about! I...I….

Hilton however just smiles rolling her eyes in return.

Hilton: I what, are you ready to finally admit that you need me?! I don’t know what it is about your undying need to feel accepted or acknowledged. Had you just done things my way this wouldn’t even be an issue right now. Your daughter would know that her place is being your daughter, on top of that Stephanie would fall right in line. Everything would be as they were meant to be. However your indecisiveness is just ripping you apart. Instead of being that dominant Bitch who knows she is the MAIN EVENT, the STAR, and the FEATURED ATTRACTION. You rather be content with being the has-been and it’s sickening. Just let me be free… Let me come out and play, and I promise this would all be settled.

Crystal however kept her eyes on her reflection. She took a deep breath as she screamed back at the top of her lungs.

Crystal: I don’t fucking need you! I never did need you. I will make things right and I will do it on my own merit. Yes things might suck but I will bounce back. I will figure out a way. I just can’t let you do WHAT you want to do. All you do is hurt people and the last time I caved into your desires all it got me was at war with my wife. I won’t ever hurt her again…

The arrogant Hilton in the mirror just shakes her head in return.

Hilton: Bitch you really think you won’t hurt her?! You may not have struck the blow this time but it was YOUR family that placed her hands on her. Your daughter beat the shit out of your wife! She is a reflection of who you are and at the end of the day it’s as if you delivered the blow yourself. You want to make things right but it’s all one big mess. Your wrestling career isn’t where it needs to be. You know it will only be a matter of time before everybody starts chanting #FREESELEANA like they always do on Social Media. They are going to drive it right into the fucking dirt. They are going to attack you over and over again. I get it though… YOU GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT!!!!

Hilton laughs some more looking back at Crystal.

Hilton: You know what you need to do Christina… Just let me come out and play. Unleash your inner Crystal Hilton… Let the Rose Goddess out and we will show everyone why Perfection Never Fails. What other choice do you really have?! You want to seem weak.

Crystal sighs, closing her eyes before she confidently looks back at her reflection. She opens the medicine cabinet looking at all of her various medicines to treat her Dissociative Identity Disorder. The reflection can’t be seen at this point but it definitely can’t be heard.

Hilton: Bitch you think the Anti-Depressants, the Anti-Psychotics, and Anti-Anxiety medicine is going to make me go away?! You know I WILL never go away. No matter how much you try to numb it I will always be there… I will be there to pick up the wreckage of your fuck ups and make it right in my own way. I have been with you through five terrible divorces and if I have to have my way to make it a sixth then so be it! People will always respect Crystal Fucking Hilton!

Crystal however closes the cabinet as she keeps her eyes locked on the reflection. The tears stream down her face as she looks in the mirror.

Crystal: No… That’s where you are wrong. I don’t want to be Crystal Hilton anymore… I gave up being that woman three years ago when I got married. I am Christina Zdunich… I didn’t realize it until today but when I got married it no longer became about being what I selfishly wanted. It is about sacrifice and knowing that my wife and I are one…

Hilton; Oh! So that’s how it is… I guess since you have your Bitch you don’t really need me anymore. I have seen this tape play out so many times and it’s like you are a rat stuck in a maze. You are going to make the same mistake over and over again because that’s what you always tend to do. What makes this time any differently?!

Crystal let’s the tears escape her eyes as she just let’s them stream steadily down her face.

Crystal: Because this time I am willing to make the decision that I don’t want but the ONE that will protect her the most… I am going to let her go…

Hilton: Wait! Christina I know you better than that. Just let me do what I do best and…

Crystal: No...I have to do this and finally make things right…Relying on what YOU want has always been my problem and I have to do something different...

With that the reflection disappears and it is replaced with Crystal’s regular reflection. She could see she was a sobbing mess but this was all for the best. She had spent quite some time in the bathroom and by the time she got out an hour had passed. Crystal looked towards the bed and realized Seleana was gone. Perhaps it was better this way. Christina walked towards the closet where she had found a suitcase. She opens it and begins to stuff as much of her clothing as she could in there. She had to do this as quickly as possible. If she could pack and leave before Seleana returned it would have been for the best. Crystal continued to pack up her things and that is when she heard the door open to the bedroom. Crystal didn’t need to turn around to know who it was standing in the doorway. However, that is when she heard the strong Swedish accent of her wife.

Seleana: Estrellita?!

Crystal’s heart was torn in two. She really didn’t want to do this but she knew she had to do this. More tears rolled down her cheek. She loved hearing her wife trying to speak Spanish to her. It was adorable but she had to stand strong and not show any emotion. That is why she kept her back turned and continued to pack her things.

Seleana: Star?!

Crystal packed even more things as she didn’t say a word. She couldn’t showcase to Seleana how she had been feeling. She didn’t even want to tell her that she lost five pounds because of all of this. She just kept to herself in hopes that she could finish packing as quickly as possible.

Seleana: Chickie?!

Crystal quickly snaps back as she tries her best to hold up one finger. She sobs but she wipes her tears as she answers back with attitude in her voice.

Crystal: Could you just wait one FUCKING second?!

With that she was finally finished with packing. Seleana was taken back as Crystal grabbed her huge suitcase and walked right past her wife. She didn’t bother to acknowledge her as she made a beamline straight for the door. She passed by the other woman in their relationship Alexandra Caldwell who stood there with her arms folded.

Alex: Crystal what’s going on?!

Crystal is about inches away from the front door and it is at that moment that Seleana calls out to her.

Seleana: Star, would you please talk to us, talk to me? You haven’t said a word, you haven’t eaten anything in days. What is going on?!

Crystal throws the bag towards the door. She slowly turns around to face the two women. More tears begin to flow down her eyes as she gets right in Seleana’s face and looks up into her eyes.

Crystal: You want to know what is going on?! It’s the fact that I am a failure…

Seleana: You aren’t a failure. If it’s about the Rise of the Phoenix tournament you can turn things around. I believe in you. You always make things work and…

Crystal quickly cuts her off as she shakes her head.

Crystal: It has nothing to do with that! It’s the fact that all I ever seem to do is HURT YOU! If it’s not me directly it’s my family. I don’t have things in control and it really sucks. I appreciate the both of you so much. Even when I don’t believe in myself or the world is against me you two stand against the minority and you have my back. I love that more than either of you could fathom.

Alex: No doubt… We got your back because you are DAT GIRL

Crystal however shakes her head looking at the both of them.

Crystal: But since seeing the way the closest ones in my life turn on me and on you. Whether it’s my daughter, or going back to my sister Mariella. The fact doesn’t change that they are both extensions of me and it’s wrong for either of you to go through the cancer that is Crystal Zdunich, Lopez, Millar, Rose, or whatever I wish to be called this week. It still doesn’t change the fact that I am a bad influence for the both of you and you could both do so much better without me.

Seleana is taken back as she looks back at her wife.

Seleana: Christina…

Crystal: Don’t Christina me you know it’s the truth. Seleana you have so much potential. When we first met one another I will admit I just WANTED to have something because I couldn’t stand the thought of being alone after things didn’t go the way I wanted with Jonathan. When Stacy introduced you to me I saw someone who would have made a perfect trophy at my side. I saw a bounce back and perfect eye candy. It was convenient to have you by my side. I promised the two of us would have an amazing time together. I would teach you how to wrestle and we would conquer tag team wrestling together but it just seemed to be a fucking lie. I was only out for myself… Always did and always will be.

Seleana: Star…

Crystal: I am not done talking! You stood up for me countless times and all I did was stab you in the back because I just wanted to be World Champion and was willing to do whatever it took to get it. Even when you won a title I had to get involved because it benefitted my ego. It was all wrong and truthfully I am proud of who you have become. You are strong, courageous, and an amazing mother to our daughter.

Crystal turns her attention over to Alexandra.

Crystal: And you… You have always been that girl and I can’t help but notice you constantly tweeting you don’t know what happened to your wrestling career. At one point you were absolutely dominant but something caused you to change and you haven’t found your footing since then. I know what the problem is and I had been too selfish to say it because it never suited me. What changed is that you let me cause you to stray off the course. Had you focused less on me and more on what you need to do, you would be where you need to be.

Alex: What are you saying Crystal?!

Crystal let’s tears run down her cheek as she keeps her eyes locked on both of them.

Crystal: I am saying that after thinking about it for the past couple of days. I know people will be quick to say #FreeSeleana and truly I hated that saying. I hated seeing it all over my social media but thinking things through it is the right decision.

Crystal slides off her wedding band as she opens Seleana’s hand and places it inside of it.

Crystal: So I am making the right decision and I am going to free you from it all. Both of you are officially freed from having me in your lives. There’s no reason why I should constantly be a cancer in both of your lives. Seleana you especially have been on this ride for far too long and you deserve nothing but the best. I don’t want people to sit there and think you have Stockholm Syndrome because you chose to be by my side. So I am releasing the both of you. You are free to live your lives however you see fit and to do it being free of the drama that is Crystal. I will always love the both of you but I just don’t deserve either of you… Bye…

With that Christina grabs her suitcase as she keeps heading towards the front door. The two women are stunned as they watch Crystal walk out the door. Footsteps could be heard coming from the other room and it is that of her ten year old daughter Aurora.

Aurora: Mommy?!

Crystal however closes the door behind her as the tears overwhelm her. She couldn’t let them see the mess that she was. She knew they would be better without her. She opened up the doors to her 2021 pink Lamborghini and threw her bag inside. She was inches away from leaving the house when she heard crying. Crystal turned her attention and could see her daughter in law Sofia with baby Isabella in her hands. Isabella was crying loudly.

Sofia: Look Bella it’s Grandma…Maybe Grandma wants to hold you?!

Crystal however quickly closed the door as she pulled away. She left it all behind as she was freeing her entire family from the mess that was her. She had to figure out things on her own as she did about 80 down a quiet rich pedestrian area.









On Camera

The cameras come into focus and as they do we are treated to the image of Crystal Zdunich sitting in what looks to be a Hollywood movie star chair. She looks into the lens of the camera very emptily as she doesn’t show any signs of life or anything. She takes a long deep breath as she finally decides to speak.

“Hello MHW Universe this is your girl Crystal Zdunich and I know it won’t be long until I step into the ring at Black Magic and fight my daughter on Halloween night. To be honest I know it must be exciting for the world to see. Everybody will want to see what happens when mother steps in the ring against daughter. It could be amazing, and it could be a match that is filled with nonstop high flying action among other things. However as good as that might sound on paper to be honest I just don’t have the same energy when it comes to competing in that match. A mother never wants to be placed in a situation where they have to fight their own daughter.”

Crystal just shakes her head as tears begin to roll down her cheek. She doesn’t bother to wipe them as she continues to speak.

“It is a tough situation and I never expected for her to turn her back on me like she did. The night she attacked me was the night my heart shattered into pieces. If she had just placed her hands on me it would have been fine. I would have been able to deal with it and figure things out. However she did the unthinkable. She placed her hands on my wife. She hurt Seleana and that doesn’t sit well with me. Seleana is the best thing to have ever happened to my life. She is the mother of our daughter Aurora and is the kindest soul you will meet on this planet. Yet once again because of the fuck ups that are because of me. She is caught in the crossfire and an extension of me has hurt her once again…”

More tears flow from her eyes and she appears to be a sobbing mess. Crystal tries to keep her cool so she can get through the promo.

“After seeing Seleana on the receiving end of something she doesn’t deserve because of me and my family. I had to do some soul searching. It also doesn’t help that the entire social media was against me with the constant tweets of #FreeSeleana over and over again. Following that lost to Hairicin for three days I didn’t say a word. I didn’t eat or drink a single thing. I lost weight over it and I truthfully I was a wreck because I was thinking about what happened to Seleana. After taking a long glance into the mirror that is when I came to the conclusion that the best thing might be to separate myself from Seleana. Perhaps everybody was right and she does deserve better and her freedom. I don’t want the world to think she’s weak and suffers from Stockholm syndrome because she’s attached to me. That’s why I made the hardest possible choice I could imaginable and I walked away. I walked away to focus on myself and to figure out where do I go from here…”

Crystal finally wipes the tears from out of her eyes as she looks back into the camera.

“Maybe the time away will help me put things back into perspective so I could get back on the right track. I just want to think the fans because on Elevation you all cheered for me and it really warmed my heart. On top of that I want to thank the professionalism of Seleana because despite what we are going through at home she still was out there by my side. It really warmed my heart and I have been feeling good about myself especially considering I was able to put that backstabbing best friend Stephanie in her place. However it’s one thing to fight your best friend and it’s another thing to stand in the ring one on one with your daughter. I know it won’t be long until that happens and honestly I don’t know what I am going to do when I get placed into that situation… That is something to still think about…”

Crystal waves her finger as she keeps her eyes locked on the camera.

“However before we get to that match I have one huge roadblock standing in my way and it comes in the form of being in a triple threat match with Psycho along with Azurine Vebbins. How am I feeling into this match?! To be honest even if we take away what I have been dealing with personally because of my daughter, I feel I want to pick up where I left off with my huge Elevation win. I want to keep the ball rolling and build up a little streak for myself. I would be lying if I said I didn’t have a chip on my shoulder. I was just in the Rise of the Phoenix tournament and I gave everything in my heart to emerge with a win. It was my vision to walk into this company, win a tournament and showcase that I am ready to gain the top spot. Nothing would turn me away and the road to the top was clear cut…”

Crystal shrugs her shoulders.

“However that wasn’t meant to be because Katrina Knox was able to get the best of me. She outwrestled me and I have to live with that. I won’t even claim that she had to get Hardcore to do it because she didn’t. She did it straight up. I won’t be that type to cry over why I lost or even make excuses. At the end of the day I simply was beaten, I was outwrestled. That doesn’t mean the show is over though. It doesn’t mean my final destination won’t ever come to fruition. All it means is on the way to get to where I need to go I have to go through a small detour. I have to go through some extra hurdles to get what I want.

I might be an emotional wreck…

I might have been through some shit because of my intermediate family…

Hell I might not have been eating and dealing with some shit…

But…”

Crystal takes a long deep breath. She makes sure the tears are completely gone as she speaks confidently.

“But one thing I know for a fact is that I am NOT a quitter and if I really want something I will work hard for it. I know Azurine Vebbins and Psycho are coming for a fight and will do whatever it takes to rain on my parade. That sounds all good but there’s no reason to be down because the sun will always come up and I just need to keep on riding. The best thing I can do is overcome the both of them so I can build momentum for my eventual showdown with my daughter.

Now this match will be no walk in the park. Azurine Vebbins has been one of the main pioneers of this company. She is a former Ammo Champion along with a former Throw Down Champion. She knows what it is like to be successful and I can respect that. She is also a Hall of Famer in this company and that in itself means she is someone that can’t be taken lightly. When push comes to shove in the thick of things you know she will be in for a fight. However there is also a side of her that even questions if she is content in her place in this company.”

Crystal shrugs her shoulders throwing her arms up in the air.

“Like she seems to be very sweet but on that last edition of Throw Down she got knocked the hell out in under a minute. If it was me I would be totally embarrassed if it happened to me. I don’t give a damn if she was standing in the ring with one of the most dangerous individuals in the entire company. I would be insulted if that happened to me, and I would try to do everything in my power to bounce back. Take my debut for example. I came into this company riding on my high horse of what I did outside of the company. I thought I could live by name sake alone and in my first match I got embarrassed by Samantha Demars. I could have let that become the narrative to follow me for the rest of my time here but I didn’t. I bounced back. I won some matches and become a finalist in the Rise of the Phoenix tournament. Now I am here to pick up where I failed and bounce back. My question to Azurine is does she have that same drive and dedication to do the same?!”

Crystal shakes her head.

“In her own way I know she likes to wrestle. She loves to promote what she is in, and every single freaking international day in the entire world. OMG its hug this person day, pancake day, flip a coin day. She is focused on so many different days but what her mind should be locked on is MHW day because that is when she needs to show up and show out. You can’t be content with just being a Hall of Famer. You need to be hungry for more and I doubt that’s you. However that woman is ME and I am hungry for more. I refuse to be denied and I will pick myself back up and win. I won’t rest until I am the best and if I have to do it at your expense so be it. I refuse to stay down and dwell in the land of mediocrity. Take some notes because honestly you could learn something…”

Crystal nods her head as she speaks some more.

“And of course there’s the other woman I need to worry about in this match and that’s Psycho Maguire. Psycho is a pioneer in this company. She just like Azurine Vebbins is a Hall of Famer in this company and if I am correct I believe she is in the Hall of Fame for two separate things. One for being a member of the most dominant stable the Shield Maidens and the other reason for what she has done as an individual. She is the inaugural Hardcore Champion here which isn’t surprising because I have seen her at a different company and she has dominated the Hardcore scene as well. That’s not surprising to me. On top of that she is also a former Throw Down Champion as well. She has the ability to be a champion and is a dangerous woman no matter what company she is part of.”

Crystal just shakes her head with a smirk.

“I respect Psycho. Hell she was able to do what I haven’t managed to do recently and that’s give Brittany the beating she deserved. Hell at that time I was still by my daughter’s side and I had to get involved because it was bad but Psycho didn’t care. As soon as I was ejected she continued to give Brittany the beating of a lifetime. Perhaps I could have learned something. If I was able to channel what Psycho did and really let Brittany take more of those beatings instead of trying to protect her I wouldn’t be in this situation that I am in…

So I respect that Psycho because you always bring it. However when it comes to facing me you don’t have what it takes to beat me. As good as you are and despite all the accolades you might have had in this company. It still doesn’t change the fact that in the opening round of the Rise of the Phoenix Tournament I beat you in the middle of the ring. It definitely was a match for the ages and it is one that could have gone either way. At the end of the day I was the one that won! I was the one who had my hands raised in victory and I know it’s been eating at you since then. This is your chance to rectify that lost. Will you be able to rise up and take me down?!

I highly doubt that… Not because you don’t have that ability but because deep down I am the one who wants this more. I need this the most. This is all about bouncing back and showcasing to the world that no matter what I am put through the rose will always find a way to blossom. Just because I lost the Phoenix tournament doesn’t mean I still can’t rise from the ashes like one. Consider this match me putting things back into perspective and getting back on track. I will stand back up. I will fight, and I will prove why I am one of the best women in this company. Watch out ladies because on Throw Down you are officially walking into Crystal Country, and nobody gets to leave until I stamp out your passport with the ass kicking of a lifetime. Brace yourselves a new day begins and it’s time to rise up once again…”

Crystal is very focused as we fade out on her looking deep into the cameras.
