Showdown Redemption Promo #4

"Sage Advice"

Philadelphia, PA

(Taking a break from training, Cloud is having lunch with one of her former trainers, 187 at the famous Tony Luke's cheesesteak spot)

187: So this is your first time in a scramble match?

Cloud: Yeah. I don't know too much about it other than the rules themselves. You won one for the CAW title back in '08. What was it like? How did you prepare?

187: To be honest ma there's no real way you can prepare for a scramble. Maybe focus on your cardio to keep up with the competition. What I did during the match was provoke my opponents into using up more of their energy than me. I saved my big moves for when they lacked the stamina to counter my attacks. To conserve your energy, focus on quick executions. Perform your aerials only if you can hit more than one target. Towards the end of the match wait for someone to get desperate and then make your move.

Cloud: (nods) Make sense.

187: You got this Cloud. Just stay focus and pay attention to your surroundings.

Cloud: I'm always focused. Whatever concerns I've had prior to my training are now out the window.

Pittsburgh, PA

(The camera opens up to Cloud driving past the city limits sign on the highway. She carefully looks to her right, looking for the right exit)

Here we are. In twenty four hours the "Lucky 7" of EAW will meet face to face inside the PNC Arena. #SpecialistScramble has been the #1 trend in the past three hours. Everyone from Suplex Kings to Sports Center is talking about their pick to be the inaugural champion. No matter how this goes down, I'm proud to take part in this moment of EAW history and would like to thank James Shields for giving the chance me to display my talents for the world to see.

Words can't describe why I feel the Specialist Championship should be around my waist. It just feels natural. Maybe it's because of the purpose the title aligns with my own interest: overcoming the odds in any situation. I was raised by someone who beat the odds and I intend to do the same Saturday night.

(Yawns as she turns right on the next exit)

I'm going in as the one who pinned the Vixens champ post House of Glass. I'm quite certain that victory has me in consideration as number one contender after Eris. It's not set in stone, but I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

Speaking of Eris, you're beginning to grow on me. I saw your TV interview earlier and you have a natural way about you that pulls the fans towards you. You, Cailin, and myself are the biggest prospects to win this thing at the moment. I can only hope that if I lose one of you two get the victory. I believe either of you will bring honor back to our beloved division, at least until I take my rightful place in a one-on-one situation.

Not to say the rest of you don't stand a chance, but right now it's not just about individual glory. We are at the apex of a revolution, a dawn of a new age of women's wrestling. I accepted the offer to join this federation because I knew EAW would be at the helm, just like it has with everything else. I can't let the selfish nature of women like Raven, Maria, and Lumen ruin this wonderful era in our sport. It's bad enough Ms. Kaline's false reign has gone unanswered by Tarah herself. Maybe Eris can answer the call.

(Pulls onto a main avenue)

Lately Haruna, it seems you're standing at an edge of sorts, wondering if you should jump off into the dark depths below. I'm here to tell you don't. Even if tomorrow night isn't your night, don't turn to darkness. Maybe I'm overthinking things, but you have so much to offer. This division than you think.

(Pulls up in front of a hotel. She gets out and tosses the valet her keys.)

I'm tired to think about anything else at the moment, but this will be the last the EAW universe hears from me until after I win the title. Anything else I need to say will be done by my fists Saturday night.

(Walks into the hotel)
