Estrella Luiz completely broke Razzles Mars' heart.
She'd misled the newcomer to Action Wrestling. Their relationship started as being friendly. Spending time together before the show, promising to spend more time together after. Razzles had been hopeful that Estrella would have some kind words of encouragement for her after a difficult loss to James Nightingale left her feeling embarrassed and disappointed. What she was met with was a lead pipe crushing the back of her skull and Estrella standing over her.
Estrella used Razzles to send a message to Kennedy Matthews. And in doing so, Estrella betrayed Razzles.
It was unlike anything that the Queen of Candyland ever experienced. She'd always been well-liked by her peers. She was polite, respectful, she paid her dues and a night she'd looked forward to for her entire life had been brutally ripped away from her by a wolf in sheep's clothing. Regaining her focus when it came to compete in the gauntlet at Turmoil had been a taller task than she expected. Estrella had sworn to her so many times that she would not be leaving with the Television Championship that part of her was starting to believe it.
Confidence was a huge part in becoming a champion, and Estrella was working hard to assure that Razzles had none. And to her credit? It was working. Mars wasn't the kind of girl who had a lot of confidence to begin with, and after being tricked and betrayed, then battered? To see the way Estrella laughed about it, and made jokes about it, like it was nothing? That was devastating.
It left Razzles at a crossroads of how to handle it. Two paths that she could take, and for a few days? She wasn't sure which one was calling her more. But now? After some time away, to reflect on the hurt in her heart? The decision was made.
Turmoil - AW Television Championship
November 24, 2019
RAZZLES MARS: We were a sisterhood. Estrella told me that we were friends. We had plans made to go on an take over the Tag Team Division. To defeat IllumiGnarly, become tag champions, make those belts personalized and our own. Estrella nodded her head, and she played the role like we were fine. But in the back of her mind, she had no intentions to make any of those dreams a reality. She had every intention to batter me with that pipe. And what's worse is that she hid it behind a smile.
Razzles hand lingers on the back of her head. Vibrant pink curls threading themselves through her fingers while she winced. Checking again just a precaution. The gaping cut in her head had long-since healed, but it still felt so fresh in her heart.
RAZZLES MARS: And for the past seven days that's followed, Estrella's made no secret of telling me how she feels. That I was never her friend, that she was doing me a favor. And I think, somewhere deep down, she believes that she was. It doesn't matter if it's wrong or right, her mind is set. I can't control how she feels. I can only control how I feel, and what I'm to do next.
Strawberry Clobbler turned a rare, serious expression to the camera.
RAZZLES MARS: I don't believe in revenge. Not from a place of weakness despite what some people may think. But because I don't need to jump anyone from behind to prove that I belong out there in that ring! For me? The sweetest revenge is success. So when I was announced as being part of this gauntlet, with the Television Championship on the line, Estrella was there. Digging her heels in the ground to make sure that I felt worthless, because she knew if I went into that match, full steam ahead, not only would I be leaving as Television Champ... but she wouldn't be leaving the ring of her own accord.
Her brow furrows, her lips tighten. Seriousness etched on her face.
RAZZLES MARS: It was a solid attempt, but you failed. I'll be out in that ring tonight! And not only am I going to do everything that Estrella Luiz says I can't by becoming the TV Champion, but I am going to take personal pleasure in making sure that Estrella does not. While I've got a great deal of respect for Mr. Holt... I think... honestly, I'm not quite sure what he's saying most of the time...
A soft blush followed, then a momentary faltering of her harsh expression in favor of something much softer.
RAZZLES MARS: He has something that I need in order to be respected. And while I know that someone like Hot Shot Wayne Austin thinks I'm a joke, he called me so himself, I know he wants this too. I know that Flop has the same issues I have, where people see him and expect him to not ever here and a TV title would help him gather a bit of legitimacy. Judge Tennison? Even more of the same. But what's just a championship to them? It's legitimacy to me. It means absolutely everything. I didn't come to Las Vegas to let Estrella laugh me out of the desert two weeks in a row. This isn't an option for me. It is do or die. To fail means that everything that Estrella said about me was right...
A momentary pause happened. Razzles letting the words of her mentor, Kennedy Matthews, ring through her head. A gentle reminder that she was enough, and that the cruel words of Luiz were inconsequential.
RAZZLES MARS: She's NOT right. I need to prove that to her. I need to take away what she wants more than anything; even more than I wanted for our sisterhood to be real. Success is the ultimate form of payback. Ruining Estrella's night is a taste of her own medicine after ruining our friendship. Last week, we may have asked why, Estrella, why? At Turmoil? We'll say: Razzles Mars. Television Champion!
