TRIXIE'S HOME - TRIXIE'S TRAINING ROOM - LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

Standing in front of her ring with the apron fashioned to be a black design with the glimpse of pink ropes stands Trixie. Her T-Shirt on, cut at the stomach and a pair of black yoga tights on with some running shoes on as she shows her sweat she's worked up from the cardio workout she's done after.

TRIXIE:
"We saw HOW Nora Harris beat Patrick at Odessa. We totally saw how it happened. One word and that was a moonsault."

Trixie smiles, flashing pearly whites as she rests her hand on her hip and wafts her ponytail with confidence. She then takes a little sigh, letting out a big breath and her eyebrows raise only slightly as she looks down to her shirt, the Prime Girl shirt she started wearing and sold off her Trixie Brand site, originating from EWC and not the Defiant Shirt she had in her closet, causing her to click on her absence from the promotion.

TRIXIE:
"It does feel like forever since I've been back in Defiant, with the final DARC match done until they sort out things, it's so good to see Jana has booked me back to appear here. My last match didn't go off with such a hitch and I didn't get to face Aidan for the title match as planned. So far my only losses in Defiant have come from the champ. "

Her smile slowly dwindles to a positive straight face, a quick nod as if to say "yeah, so…" and Trixie gives the camera a raised hand as if she's reaching for the next point.

TRIXIE:
"Lets not forget my opponent has had herself the title opportunity as well, one that Max earned. We've both been on two separate paths, she got a fatal four way where I took on the champ herself and now we're set to face off at Resurrection.

Some differences between me and Nora are the fact I'm taller, just that bit older but as far as I'm aware, she's not had any wrestling accolade yet. I know exactly what that causes, hunger. She'll see me running myself wherever I can and wish she could have another chance at Aidan by trying to pin my shoulders to the mat. Yes, Nora too faced Aidan and is in the same boat as me, eager for another shot."

Trixie's positive straight face turns to her hazel eyes being narrowed for a second as she stresses her goals have not dwindled since her loss and she's eager to climb the ranks again with this PPV match.

TRIXIE:
"But I have no issues with Nora, heck I would have said Go Bootylicious too if I wasn't priorly engaged in a backstage brawl…which I walked out the winner I will add. I won through picking the spot, timing, luring and being overall smarter than my opponent, maybe Jan's experience is rubbing off on me.

That's a key to winning. The moonsault I mentioned where Nora won against Patrick, whom I know is a class guy but new to the wrestling ring. The moonsault against me would totally be met with double knees, experience, picking my spot, luring Nora in to make a mistake.

Because this event is a big one, last PPV Nora didn't make it to the final and now she's main evented a TNT Show, had herself a win in pro wrestling over Patrick, she's becoming a valuable win for me. I could beat anyone in the world but it wouldn't matter. I could beat Nora Harris and that is pushing my stock up in Defiant Wrestling. May 28th, I have my schedule clear because I know Nora's not some up and comer whom I can stretch, do my thing and win against. Nora is Nora Harris and it is my fondish wishes since the card came out to be known as one of the women to defeat Nora. Aidan, Heidi and soon, me.

I'm in this match to win it, because I'm the one coming off the Aidan loss and the one who didn't have another booking, I downright refuse to become irrelevant and Nora is going to be a clear ticket to my path. My path of getting back on track here in Defiant Wrestling. Nora is a high value opponent, thank you Jana for giving me her because we'll talk business after it.

And lastly, Nora, I have to say you'll not be in the ring with Patrick, he's a great writer, a friend of yours, I will not be a friend between the ropes. I'll be the tough Prime girl who opened up my main event with an absolute brawl and walked out a winner. I'm bringing that fighting spirit, game, tenacity to this fight and storing it up to truly test how bootylicious matches up with my Trixietastic Wrestling ability. I guess we'll find out at Resurrection, won't we?"

[Nora]

“You know, I’m more familiar with the wrestling business than I’m being given any sort of credit for, and that’s bothersome. It’s rude, too, but I can forgive it because I do know who’s who and what’s what. Part of being a wrestler has nothing at all to do with actually being in the ring and you know, doing the actual thing! One of the first Twitter interactions I had shortly after I signed with Defiant was someone telling me that because I’m proud of my booty being well, really bodacious, that I was what was wrong with wrestling. As if he couldn’t comprehend someone that was confident in themselves and liked looking good being able to wrestle.”

Nora’s voice held a firmness that wasn’t often heard from the Cutie with the Booty, or Noradorable as Patrick liked to call her. She stepped in front of a GoPro she’d set up and put her hands on her hips, shaking her head one time to make her long curls bounce.

“I’m the one that calls myself the Tiny with the Heiny, for goodness sake! I know how to take a joke, and I know that you can’t take what your competitor says to you to heart or you’ve got no business being a wrestler. People assume a lot of things though, like that I somehow despite being a Harris, and despite starting my training with family that they forgot to somehow teach me the basics before releasing me out in the wild like some feckless pixie right out of Neverland who just left Pixie Hollow. Are you kidding me right now? Like I don’t know where YOU guys trained but where I trained if we didn’t know how to do it all we didn’t get graduated! I not only know how to put a ring together and break it back down and pack it up, I know how to calculate the difference that city taxes make in the cut we get off of our merchandise sales, if we’re lucky enough to have any!

I paid my dues, I worked my booty off… well not off but that’s the saying. Which is why I get upset when people act like this business owes them anything, because that’s not how it works. See, I get that some of you see the Harris name, and might know Kyle, Brian, and Megan who currently work out of Carnage Wrestling. Or Ickle Miss Picklepuss who knew my cousin Saffron back in Vegas. But while my cousins got me started, I was trained, honed, and polished as a wrestler by Erlich Böhmer himself. Now he’s a guy that earned his reputation in the ring, and turned around after he retired and opened a few training schools, you know the way it goes. You can say you don’t know who he is, and that’s fine - some of us I hear, didn’t grow up fans of wrestling, or didn’t know more than their own local territories.”

Nora held up her hands and snapped her fingers, shaking her curvy hips, her yoga pants showing off her form as well as giving a hint to where she was going after she was done.

“It’s fine, if you don’t know who he is, but you’ve likely heard about another famous woman he trained - Phoenix Wrestling’s diamond, Aurora. Out of all the people he could have personally trained, Mr Böhmer chose me. I may be the tiniest woman to wrestle in Defiant, but he saw something in me that made him choose to spend his time working with me. Trixie, she may not care who trained me even if she’s marginally aware of some of what I can do. My professional matches after all, number the exact amount that I’ve had in Defiance! You’d have to be pretty uhm clueless to not be aware of them. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against Trixie. She was kind to me, after we both joined, she took time out to say hi and that’s rare. There are a lot of people in it that don’t care about anyone but themselves, if they’re even self-aware enough for that.

Frankly some of you aren’t even as self aware as Skynet. Yeah, I said it. But come on. We’ve got people in here that can’t fathom how the business works from day to day, have no idea how to do any real match prep or training, and couldn’t tell you which way a turnbuckle bolt rotates to tighten it in - but they think they’re going to make a lasting impression, that they’re going to be the ones to create a legacy, that is if it doesn’t interfere with their plans to become models or actresses or whatever. It’s a way for them to get their little painted faces and fake smiles out there in front of cameras and that’s it.

It’s not a dream for them, like it was for me, or for Patrick who is still my… well, he’s the best friend I’ve got in wrestling, and I definitely count him in that close circle of people that I trust with all my heart. He worked his tail off to get here, even after he was told he never would. Sure, it wasn’t for him after he did it but that doesn’t take the heart, the desire and the hard work he put in to get him here away. It’s not that hard to figure out, he took a chance and followed his dream and now he’s got a new dream. I’m proud of him and that doesn’t change either.”

Nora smiled sweetly, almost angelically, the kindness of her soul shining for a few moments before her expression got stern, and her voice firm again.

“So Trixie, while I get that you’ve held a few belts - I won’t devalue them by calling them trinkets either, even if that’s what they are at the end of the day - and I get what you’re capable of in the ring on a good day? If you think for a second that I’m going to be some pushover victory for you, that I’m going to be a stepping stone to the next level, a doormat or a rung on a ladder that serves a purpose only to take you to new heights? Oh honey, you have got another think coming! I’m not some wet-behind the ears greenie right off the street, even if I am still wide-eyed and happy just to BE here. I know what I’m doing in that ring, and I just get better every match.

While I haven’t gotten a chance to get in a ring with Aidan yet? That will happen for me, because I’m frankly too good for it not to happen, and if I want something? None of you are going to keep me away from it ever again. Get it? Got it? Good.”

She clapped her hands together and made a ‘dusting off’ motion.

“So let’s put this all aside, and Trixie, I promise you a good match. I won’t try to cheat or hurt you, but I need you and everyone else to understand something. Just because I won’t stoop, and I won’t take shortcuts, doesn’t mean that I don’t know how to deal with people that do. Maybe I won’t set you on fire or stick my thumb in your eye, or kick you in the crotch, but I will take you down to the mat, and I will twist you up like a pretzel in one of my submission holds and I’m tiny, Trixie - and that means I can swarm over you and you’re not fast enough or strong enough to throw me off. This is going to be a whole lot of fun, just go into it with a far more open mind and we’ll get through this just fine.”
