RECORDED AFTER LAST WEEK’S DYSTOPIA MATCH
**--This scene opens up as we see Jonny Cedrone and Gloria leaving the trainer’s room after his brutal match with Chris Matthews. Gloria has a tight grip around Jonny’s waist while holding up Cedrone under his right shoulder. He holds the International Championship with his left hand while the two try to manage walking down the hallway with the noticeable limp that Jonny has. Jonny sees the camera…--**
“Hold on a second baby. Hold on.”
**--They stop as Jonny tries to get a balance on his right leg. He looks into the camera--**
“Mr. Matthews, you have my utmost respect sir! You gave me everything you had and you took everything that I gave you! There have been plenty of people that I’ve faced in the past that has given me fights, but you are among the elite my friend! At some point down the line, I’m sure that our paths will cross again and rest assured that we will put each other through the same Hell that we just put each other through. I’d love to stand here and tell you that the outcome will be the same – me getting my hand raised in victory – but you and I both know that neither one of us can lay that claim beforehand. We’re that evenly matched!”
**--Jonny has to regain his balance--**
“I just wanted to say thank you for the match and I hope you do well in your future here in World Wrestling Headquarters Mr. Matthews. You deserve it!”
“Oh! By the way…I’m sorry about the headache man. I hope you’re good!”
**--Gloria and Jonny begin to walk off camera but Jonny stops once again--**
“Oh! So, I just heard who I’m facing at the next Dystopia. You earned this shot a long time ago and you have certainly shown the world that you’re deserving of the Championship that you hold so dear at the moment! You’re a fantastic wrestler and a superior athlete! I just hope you don’t think that I’m going to be easy pickin's judging by what you see at this moment.”
**--Even through the pain, Jonny manages to sport a grin then a more intense, focused look as he holds the International Championship up proudly for the camera to see--**
“Because I will walk through Hell and back again to defend this Championship. All the pain in the world won’t be able to keep me from getting in that ring on the 23rd. I’ve been looking forward to this match for a long time and I wouldn’t miss it for the world! I’ll see you then….Ms. Matsuda.”
**--Jonny and Gloria continue their way off camera--** RECORDED ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE THE BIG MATCH
**--The scene now opens up in the streets somewhere. There’s busy traffic buzzing by, the pedestrians are in a hurry to get where they need to go, and taxi & Uber drivers’ horns are filling the air with the sounds of impatience. Then we cut to see Jonny and Gloria Cedrone walking down one of the sidewalks in this hectic environment. Jonny’s dressed in black dress-pants and a gray, silk, short sleeved shirt with the International Championship decorating his right shoulder. Gloria’s dressed in a black dress that looks like it was painted on. They’re walking down the sidewalk, hand-in-hand, with Jonny on the outside and Gloria on the inside as Jonny is walking with the slightest of limps on his left leg. The camera view changes to now being in front of the two, angled upwards as Jonny begins to speak.--**
“So, we’re a week removed from that hellacious fight I had with Chris Matthews.”
**--Jonny looks down into the camera--**
“By the way, I’m glad to hear that you’re doing okay brother!”
**--Jonny looks back up to watch where he’s going--**
“Now we focus on the next obstacle in our path. Next week I take on one of the greatest performers, one of the superior athletes, and one of the most amazing wrestlers that this business has to offer in Stephanie Matsuda!”
**--Jonny looks down at the camera again--**
“Ms. Matsuda. The War Queen. The WWH Women’s Champion. You’ve been to war a few times haven’t you?”
**--Jonny looks at his International Championship, resting on his shoulder, then back up to watch where he’s going again--**
“So have I! I’ve seen your matches with Ms. Jonae. Each time you step into the ring, you bring everything you have! I respect that. You don’t expect anything but the best from your opponents! And I respect that as well. You do whatever’s necessary to win and once again, I respect that. It’s clear to see that you have my respect Ms. Matsuda. But the question here isn’t about respect. The question is whether you have what it takes to win this Championship from me. Are you able to pull out that ‘big win’ like you say that you do so many times?! So far in your career here in World Wrestling Headquarters, you’ve certainly proven that you can.”
**--Jonny once again looks down at the camera--**
“But will you do it this time?”
**--Jonny looks at the International Championship then back to where he’s going--**
“This is my first taste of Championship Gold here in the World Wrestling Headquarters. I promise though that it won’t be my ONLY taste. Ever since I signed the contract to come into the World Wrestling Headquarters, I’ve made it no secret that I want to make it all the way to the top of this company and become the World Champion.”
**--Once again, Jonny looks down into the camera--**
“A goal that is quite obviously mutual, isn’t it Ms. Matsuda?”
**--Jonny looks up again--**
“I saw your AceTV segment last week on Dystopia Ms. Matsuda. I find it a little interesting that you seem to have your eyes set on the big prize while overlooking what’s standing right in front of you – in the here and now. You and I have never crossed paths in the past Ms. Matsuda, so I hope that you’re not thinking that I’m going to be some easy stepping stone for you to use on your way to the top. If you are…”
**--Jonny and Gloria stop walking and Jonny looks into the camera--**
“…You’d be making a terrible mistake. Ya see Ms. Matsuda, much like yourself, I’ve been to war too. In fact, every time I’ve stepped foot in the ring since I made my debut in the World Wrestling Headquarters, it’s been one battle after another – one war after another. The battles I’ve had with Ms. Jonae and Mr. Lyons Jr. The war that I just went through with Chris Matthews. And let’s not forget about the war that I went through with Mr. Spencer to win this prestigious International Championship! The only International Championship that counts by the way. I’ve earned this Championship through pure wrestling & fighting abilities, courage, pride and strong will. Attributes that will help me to continue holding this Championship and continuing my journey to the top of the World Wrestling Headquarters.”
**--Jonny looks up again as he and Gloria continue walking--**
“As I’ve said Ms. Matsuda, you and I have the same goals in mind. In all reality, if you don’t have the goal to be the World Champion, what are you doing in this sport? Knowing your competitive nature, I’m sure you’d agree. I’m also sure that you’d agree that no matter the amount of respect that’s there between two competitors, it goes out the window after the ringing of the first bell. The gloves come off and it’s every person for themselves, isn’t it Ms. Matsuda? We each do whatever we need to do in order to get that win.”
**--Jonny pauses his speaking for a brief moment to collect his thoughts, then continues--**
“I have to admit Ms. Matsuda, I’ve been looking forward to this match ever since you won the number one contendership. I look forward to having matches with people like you Ms. Matsuda. If you don’t know by now, I pride myself in having the best match on the card. Every time I step through those ropes, that ring becomes my canvas, and every movement in that ring becomes my paintbrushes, and my opponent and I paint pictures for the world to see and be entertained by. That’s one of the things that I want this Championship to represent. I want it to represent the best wrestling that this company – no – that this industry has to offer.”
**--Once again Jonny and Gloria stop walking as Jonny gazes into the camera--**
“Ms. Matsuda, I’ve been in the ring with some of the best wrestlers and fighters that this business has ever seen! A few of them right here in the World Wrestling Headquarters. Next week, I get the honor and the privilege to face yet another one – in you! Without a doubt, I know that you have what it takes to beat me. And without a doubt, I know that you will bring everything you have into Dystopia next week and try your best to do just that. We can have a mat classic. We can have a fight. We can have whatever it is that you wanna make it Ms. Matsuda. Hell, we can have any kind and every kind of match all wrapped up into one if you want! I just can’t find the words in the English dictionary strong enough to describe just how proud, how honored and frankly, how excited I am for next week! But while I have no doubt that you CAN beat me – the question is now – WILL you be able to beat me?”
**--Jonny kinda runs in place for a brief moment to show the world that his knee is okay. He rotates his shoulder to show the world that it’s okay. He continues speaking into the camera--**
“I’m not going to be easy pickin’s for ya Ms. Matsuda! After the war that Mr. Matthews and I just went through, you thought that you’d just be able to swoop in and just pick the meat off the bones, didn’t ya? As you can see, it won’t be that easy Ms. Matsuda. Every offensive move that you make, you’re going to have to fight for it. Every upper-hand you get, you’re going to have to fight for it. If it’s fate that you win, you’re going to have to fight for it and earn it Ms. Matsuda. Things that I know that you’re not afraid to do! You’ve earned each and every win that you’ve ever had in your career! Honestly, I don’t know a lot about your past nor do I know much about your career outside of World Wrestling Headquarters. But if what I’ve seen so far is any sign of your success in the past or elsewhere, then I know for a fact that you’ve fought hard and have earned each and every accolade that you’ve ever accomplished!”
**--Jonny proudly holds the International Championship up towards the camera--**
“I welcome the fight Ms. Matsuda! I welcome everything that you’re going to throw at me in order to try to wrestle this Championship away from me! But rest assured that you’re going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands. This Championship means more to me than you can imagine Ms. Matsuda. I fought hard to win it and I’m going to fight hard to keep it. I represent everything that’s good in wrestling. I represent everything that’s good in the world. Above all though, I represent the people! And I’ll be damned if I’m going to let them down Ms. Matsuda.”
**--Jonny throws the Championship back over his shoulder--**
“Bring everything that you’ve got Ms. Matsuda, because I plan on bringing everything that I’ve got as well! I mean it when I say that I’m looking forward to seeing you in the ring Ms. Matsuda because I know that you will bring everything you have and I know that it’s going to be one helluva of fight and one helluva match! You’re one of the greatest that this company and that this business has ever seen! Now that’s not me blowing smoke up your shorts, that’s just cold hard facts! Without a doubt, you deserve this opportunity and you’ve earned it! Sadly for you though, you’ve also earned the right to be denied the right to be called the International Champion. That right belongs to me and me alone Ms. Matsuda!”
“All in all though, I’m going to leave you with this. I wish you the best of luck and may the best person win! I’ll see you next week Ms. Matsuda!”
**--Jonny and Gloria walk off camera shot as the scene cuts to a snowy feed then to black--**

Dystopia Promo #1
“Promises”
The camera opens to the War Room Dojo in Brooklyn, NY. Sitting across from each other is WWH Dystopia Interviewer Faith Wilde and current WWH Women’s World Champion, Stephanie “Cloud” Matsuda. The War Queen is dressed in her ring gear with a War Room Dojo jacket over her outfit. Her blue-dyed hair is tied in a bun with the long end of her bangs parted to the side. She just finished performing an advertisement spot for her main sponsor, Champion for her C9 clothing brand. Fortunately for Wilde, it was a perfect time for her to conduct an interview with the heard to reach multi-champion. Faith Wilde: Hello WWH fans and Dystopians around the world. This is Faith Wilde and I’m here with the reigning Women’s World Champion for over five months, the War Queen herself, Stephanie “Cloud” Matsuda!Stephanie laughs and waves at the audience. Stephanie Matsuda: Thank you for the introduction. I couldn’t have done it better myself. Wilde: Well it’s my job to present the greatest superstars in the best light possible. Speaking of which, news has been buzzing with your accomplishments as of late! You’re currently sitting on several titles at the moment.
Matsuda: Yeah...you could say that. I have to be honest - the beginning of this year saw me come off some major losses in December. One of those defeats came from the hands of the former Affliction Champion Fenrir Ragnarsson, I...thought I had him, you know? Ragnarok interfered in our match, but I had my own people on my side. The match was a mess, but I gave it my all. It didn’t help that the prior week, I lost my X-Division Championship over in France. I was starting to believe the negative things people were saying about my place in this business, how I was washed up and I was overdoing it by being signed to more than one place. I had to fight my way out of my own self-pity Faith. I had to remind myself why I came to World Wrestling Headquarters in the first place. It was to become the Women’s World Champion - one of the few remaining in this inclusive business of ours. I remembered that the day I signed my name on the dotted line, I made a promise to defeat Renee Jonae and become your champion. Now not only have I’ve done that, but I successfully defended my title against her. Now mind you, Renee is one of the best women’s wrestlers in the world. She’s proven that by earning another shot against yours truly. What I’ve accomplished was no easy feat, but what got me through was my drive to fulfill the promise that I made to myself. The drive is what got me to have a second successful defense against Belladonna Hunter. And somehow in-between that time period, I earned a shot at the International Championship. Jonny Cedrone’s International Championship.
Wilde: About that. You’ve gone on the record to say that you wanted to be the first woman to hold both WWH World titles simultaneously, but yet you have a rare opportunity to win the only singles title not held by either your or Havoc on the Dystopian brand. What do you think of your chances?
Stephanie nodded a few times as she considered the question. Matsuda: Jonny’s been with WWH since January, right? Since then, he’s held his own. He started things off by beating Blake Anderson of all people, who was one of the hotter prospects from last year. Hell, he defeated Renee Jonae, who apparently has become something of a rival for me. So yeah, he’s demonstrated that he can get the job done. He’s teamed with and lost to Vincent Lyons Jr. who would become something of a rival for him you could say.I earned my glory back at War of Attrition, while he didn’t. He couldn’t pluck the title off Jacoby the first time, but through hard work and determination, your boy finally did it. At Dreamstate, Jonny’s dreams become reality. He topples over the nigh immovable obstacle known as Jacoby Spencer and has secured that title for himself. Jonny is one of the big boys, now. But now, the dream...is over.Stephanie sighed and shook her head. Faith had a look of concern on her face as she leaned forward. Matsuda closed her eyes for a moment and opened them to reveal an expression different from the friendly one she had earlier in the interview. Faith was looking into the serious eyes of The War Queen. Wilde: What do you mean by that?
Matsuda: Remember what I mentioned earlier about promises? Well, these things have a tendency to evolve, or outright change. Sometimes I make new promises which supersede the original we made to ourselves...
There’s a moment of silence between Faith and Stephanie before the women’s champ continued. Matsuda: My goal isn’t only just to elevate this women’s championship that I hear over my shoulders, but every championship on Dystopia. When I defeat Jonny Cedrone only Havoc and I will be left standing. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what happens next.Wilde: There can only be one?A wicked grin appears across Stephanie’s face. Matsuda: You said it, not me. Jonny definitely realized what’s at stake, but I wonder if he realizes how much this match means for me. While I want the World Championship proper for myself, securing the International Championship brings me one step closer to becoming Havoc’s absolute equal on Dystopia. And unlike Chrissy Sabertooth, I don’t need an entire stable to make that happen. I’ve gotten this far by my own hands, something Mr. Cedrone can relate to. But that’s where our similarity ends. While our goals lead us to the same destination, how we achieve those said goals is a different story. Now while this is Jonny’s first defense, I’ve successfully defended my belt twice over. I’m a War Queen in her third world title reign. Heh, in fact, I’m currently in my fourth and FIFTH world title reign.Faith almost laughed in disbelief at Stephanie’s last sentence. Wilde: Wait, what!?Matsuda: I know, crazy, right? If you take a gander at what I’ve accomplished in other places, you’ll see what I’m talking about. But right now, this is a WWH interview. The divine difference between Jonny and me is that I’m a battle-tested champion who developed a knack for belt collecting. I mentioned earlier this year that 2020 is #BLZNSZN and so far I’ve told no lies. Hey, I don’t underestimate good ‘ol Jonny Boy. He will come at me with everything he has. He will test my will and my wits at every turn. When we come to blows, I’ll have to stay on my toes. I didn’t get this far in my career to not evaluate my opponent before entering the ruin.Wilde: What would you say is the difference between you and Jonny’s fighting styles?
Matsuda: Jonny’s all power, which at his size is a fearsome thing indeed. But, he’s quicker than you think he is. There’s also a level of technicality you wouldn’t expect. Basically, to beat Jonny Cedrone you have to stay alert. It’s no secret that I’m at a severe size advantage, but I’ve beaten men bigger than him. Jonny and I will both be rolling the dice, but in the end, I’ll be the one calling Yahtzee. In this new age of WWH, I’ve had the luxury of sitting back and watching the change in scenery. We’ve had the alliance of Havoc and Nikki Caldwell. I watched the brutality between Jonny and Chris Matthews in their first match. Both men gave it their all and it ended in a double countout. Kudos to both men for running it back two weeks later. Jonny is a beast when he wants to be. He’s going to be looking for a straight-up brawl, but I’m going to put ‘ol Jonny Boy through his paces. I’m going to make him work for every inch because this International Championship match will be his first and ONLY defense. I hate that he was forced in this situation, that he’s facing me when I’m at the absolute peak of my career. Winning a match will take more than just size and power. The Queen’s Road philosophy is designed to outlast one’s opponents. I have the stamina of men three times my size. What wild decide the outcome of this match is whether or not the current International champion will be able to keep up with me? Chris Matthews was his biggest challenge yet, and as much as I respect Matthews, he and I are not the same. In fact, nobody’s doing what I’m doing right now. Your world champion proper is probably the closest thing to 2020 Stephanie Matsuda, but some could say even that’s a stretch. Forgive me if I’m coming off as arrogant, but I’m just stating facts. Jonny’s confidence has gotten him far in this industry, but I made a promise. And now, I’m about to make another one: I promise to defeat Jonny Cedrone and become your second WWH International Champion.
Wilde: Do you think you’ll be a better champion than Jonny?Matsuda: Without a doubt, sweets. That doesn’t mean Jonny is a bad champion, per se. But the International Championship is an evolution of several other titles in this industry. Before it was the Utopia Championship, meant to represent the blossoming of one’s career. It was a spawn of the unification High Stakes and Imperium titles over on Sanatorium. Bless Martina Vespucci for bringing the Utopia title over to Dystopia so that one day I can seize it into my own hands. Also, bless Jonny for becoming the International Champion. This belt has seen a lot of changes since last year, and I think it’s high time for a more permanent transition. In my eyes, the International Championship is meant to be seen. It’s meant to be defended more often than the world titles, a chance to provide others an opportunity to showcase their talents. With that said, the belt needs a recognizable face. Someone to draw eyes to World Wrestling Headquarters. With me as your International Champion, it’ll attract the attention of those who want to test their mettle against The War Queen. What will follow will be some of the best matches you’ve seen. I wasn’t kidding when I said I wanted to create a dynasty, Faith. My girls Serenity and Jocelyn are the tag champs, so we already have a foothold into Dystopia’s present and future. This isn’t just about domination, Faith. It’s about steering Dystopia into a direction where it’s more about the action in the ring than the B.S. backstage politics. There are those who want to manipulate Dystopia for their own ends, but at the end of the day, it’s the fans who decide where we go from here. Us fighters, people like Matthews, Jonae, Cedrone, and Lyons, we understand that we’re the middle ground between the people and the powers that be. There are those like Havoc who want that power for themselves. I’m not naive - there’s a time where he and I will meet face to face here in WWH, and it won’t be in a tag match. If anything, this title match will decide the role I’ll play in the coming days. Wilde: Hmm, interesting. If you had more power in the company, what would you do?Stephanie sat back in the chair, thinking to herself. As she rubbed her chin, she began to speak. Matsuda: If anything, I can promise you this. If I did have more power, I would balance the dynamic, level the playing field. If me being the Undisputed Champion of Dystopia will bring us that kind of future, then so be it. Jonny seems to want to be a voice for the people. As for yours truly, I’m already doing it on multiple platforms. I could walk away from the industry right now and be hailed as a legend. But, now it’s not just about securing a legacy anymore. If there’s a promise I had to keep it would be to build upon my legacy as much as possible. Career-wise the years ahead of me is just as long or short as the years behind me. It depends on whether your a glass half full person or a glass half empty. Either way, one day all of this will be over. It’s my duty to ensure that The War Queen reigns over Dystopia as justly as possible. That much I can promise the fans. And Jonny? If you’re watching this, I promise to take the WWH International Championship off your hands.Stephanie smiled at the camera, returning to her relaxed self. Matsuda: Know it. Understand it. Believe it.Wilde: Thank you for sitting in with us Matsuda, and we look forward to your match this Sunday.The camera fades as Faith and Stephanie began to talk among themselves.
