[[ SCREEN FADES TO BLACK]]
(You see a beautiful fireplace lit up in the center of Maddox's Las Vegas penthouse and you can hear the crackling of the fireplace, if you were a fly on the wall, you would smell toasted marshmallow wafting through the penthouse. The camera turns and there's Maddox, Candy, Maddox's mother Fatima, Candy's sister Mercedes all sitting there finishing up a Christmas dinner, glasses of wine next to each person)
MADDOX
Thank you all so much for coming tonight. It really means a lot that even during this unprecedented time, we can all be together, safely.
CANDY
Agreed. It means a lot to have you here.
FATIMA
I'm only here because of you. Anytime I can get out of Brazil, I'll take It.
MERCEDES
Seriously, anytime I can get out of Denver, ill take It too.
CANDY
You're always with me.
MERCEDES
No lies there.
MADDOX
Now, granted, we're coming off of a loss at Vendetta, however, Candy and I both had a great match and we have a great pick in this Dirty Santa selection.
CANDY
They knew what they we're doing. The only way to truly destabilize you was to go at It together. You had hunger in your eyes to win babes. We all saw It but they just had a better plan at the end of the day. You were literally HANGING on for dear life. You were like....BIIIIIITCH.....I aint going down without a fight.
MADDOX
You're damn straight. But, yeah, still, fuck them.
(He laughs and Fatima shoots a look at Maddox and his eyes widen)
MADDOX
I get It from you.
FATIMA
You tell lies.
MADDOX
Mmhmm.
(Fatima rolls her eyes)
MADDOX
See?
CANDY
Oh, I saw.
(They all laugh together)
MADDOX
Truly, Jester and Nathan...well, ya know what Jester got me. But a congrats to Nathan for winning. You deserved It in the end.
CANDY
Girl, Jester got me too.
MADDOX
Honestly, I think I LOLed when Jester's Santa promo came out. The dude has officially lost It. Mexican Egg Rolls? Girl, I aint even Mexican. The nerve.
(He laughs)
MADDOX
But do you think I stay this sexy by eating Mexican Egg Rolls? If anything, your boy is ordering some greasy ass Chinese food and getting some REAL egg rolls. Mexican's don't make egg rolls. White people!
(He smirks and shrugs his shoulders)
CANDY
Honestly though...what person was sitting up one night and was like, ya know what? How.....in the world.....do we make....a MEXICAN egg roll? What can we put in It? White people innovation at its finest. Also...me not having a personality, laughable. Ya girl makes up for about 50% of the dryness that is here at UPW.
MADDOX
You don't have to defend that. We all know. But truly, Jester would only know about Mexican egg rolls because he IS a crazy ol white man. People from Detroit be on some different shit.
CANDY
No lie.
FATIMA
I do not understand American's sometimes. Weird choices.
MERCEDES
I've grown up here and I still say the same thing.
MADDOX
However, It was fucking funny. He roasted everyone. It's like he put together his own Christmas Roast and nobody had to pay for a ticket. Thank you for the entertainment. The best part was watching him demolish The Fisted Clan.
FATIMA
The fisted clan?
MADDOX
You dont wanna know.
(Maddox, Candy and Mercedes all chuckle together while Fatima is clearly left out of the joke)
FATIMA
I'll take your word for It
CANDY
Speaking of.....
MADDOX
GIRL! The TOM FOOLERY OF IT ALL!
CANDY
The gaggery.
MADDOX
First OFF! PIXI! SIN CITY CHAMPION!
CANDY
Iconic right?
MADDOX
That's what happens when you let your ego get to your head. You get WAY AHEAD of yourself and the rest of the world catches up to you and then BAM, KARMA BITES YOU AND BITES YOU HARD!
FATIMA
Poor kid.
CANDY
No, fuck that.
(Fatima shoots a look at Candy)
CANDY
I dont know why you pretend that word is new to you. Stop playing for these cameras.
(Fatima shoo's Candy away with her hands and continues at her plate)
CANDY
He ran his mouth about this and that about he's the standard and yadda yadda boo yadda. Then he got into that ring and Pixi made work of him. It may have been a great match but she still beat him. She sat you down in the seat you needed to be sat down anyways.
MADDOX
Humble pie tastes like shit sometimes but you still gotta get a slice every now and again.
CANDY
Truly
MADDOX
It was satisfying watching Pixi deliver It too.
MERCEDES
Agreed. She's bad ass, mate.
CANDY
What? You go to Australia for a month and now you're Australian?
(Mercedes flips Candy off)
MADDOX
It's the universe righting its wrong.
(He pauses)
MADDOX
But....THE TRUE GAG OF THE NIGHT! First of all, CJ Walker defeating Bishop. I....I mean....he did It!!! Good for him! He did what a lot of people COULD NOT do when that title was on the line.
CANDY
I honestly feel kinda bad for CJ though.
MADDOX
I truly do too. He fought hard for that. I normally can't stand listening to the guy but I'm proud of the guy. He's done a lot of editing and a lot of work and he fucking beat Bishop. Won that championship and then you have slime ball Diaz rolling up and cashing in his prize out of nowhere. LITERALLY taking his friends championship and being like....mmhmm. Look at me now.
CANDY
The energy in the building was palpable.
MADDOX
But lets dissect things here. Kid Diaz did NOT truly earn that championship. Yes, he cashed in his prize. Fair. He pinned CJ, fair. However, under the circumstances, he looks like a big ol coward to me.
MERCEDES
But did we not expect that from him?
CANDY
Very in character for him.
MADDOX
When you look at the history books and people read about UPW and they see you cashed in your prize to come down to a DOWNED CJ Walker via Jester and a chair shot to take that win...you're a joke. Yeah, you're the Openweight Champion but....eh...your win was pathetic. But he'll talk about being the greatest and the Apex and he won, so he's the champion..we should all bow down to the King Of The Seven Realms and kiss his ring and pet his dragons and we should all head to the gallows cause the rest of the locker room is nothing compared to him.
CANDY
He'll bask in his glory. We all know he will. So let him.
MADDOX
Truly. He has a lot of people with their eyes on that title so the odds of him holding onto It for very long are slim to none. Diaz is NOTHING like Bishop. Diaz WISHES he could be like Bishop but only time will tell if he can be.
CANDY
Bishop must be PIIIIIIIISSED honey!
MADDOX
Did we not see this happening though?
CANDY
Oh we all did, we predicted this ages ago. I think they are probably thinking and going to say "You're expecting the Black Hand to crumble but we will celebrate our members successes!" Some type of political boring bullshit that no one believes. Bishop is already probably personally plotting his revenge on Diaz.
MADDOX
It's all so juicy. I can't wait to watch It all unfold or better yet be apart of It unfolding.
CANDY
Oooooh...sounds fun.
(Fatima raises her hand to stop everyone talking)
FATIMA
There's no good that lasts forever nor evil that ever ends
(They look at her confused)
FATIMA
We sit here and talk about how happy we are at peoples losses and talk about the potential conflict that will resume from this. Good will happen but It will not last forever. You are excited that you are seeing this people lose. Which, I understand. We all have our enemies and sometimes its exciting to see your enemies fall. But the evil will never end. They will always be your enemy. The earth is not thirsty for the blood of the warriors but for the sweat of man’s labor. Put in the hard work to succeed for you.
MADDOX
So deep sometimes mom.
FATIMA
I only want to see you soar.
MADDOX
I'm flying
CANDY
We're flying.
FATIMA
True. However, even dragons can be shot down from the sky. Which you JUST reminded me of talking about Game of Thrones.
(They all laugh)
MADDOX
I feel like I mostly know what you're talking about but I'm still going to relish in the fact that two people who have made our lives and everyone else's lives here at UPW a living hell, have lost their gold which they bragged about hard. Dragons do get shot down from the sky. It's just a matter of timing. You may be the Apex but the HIGHER you climb and the further you fall. The fall from grace is not always an easy one. BUT, we know they are just as hungry as we are. We are all fighting for different things but the same things.
CANDY
Agreed. We always put in the hard work. Forever will do that. But they truly got what they had coming to them.
MADDOX
Aside from all of that...Vendetta was exciting. Was a great event and we're getting ready to head into the New Year. We obviously have so many goals that we are waiting to accomplish. We're excited. We don't know what gift we're going to end up with but hopefully it's something that will truly benefit both of us in someway shape or form.
CANDY
Plus the awards that are coming up soon. Hoping we come away with something.
MADDOX
Who knows. We'll see!
MERECEDES
Ya'll are winners in my eyes, mate.
FATIMA
Most days.
MADDOX
Oop. See, I told you my mom was shady. That's where I get It from.
CANDY
Mmhmmm!
(They all laugh)
MADDOX
With all of that being said, Vendetta is done. 2022 is on the horizon. We kicked some ass at Vendetta and had a good match. We bring the entertainment per usual. A lot left to fight for. New people joining UPW! UPW is growing which means more drama and ass kickins to give out. Here's to success, happiness and health for us all. Merry Christmas to you loves!
CANDY
Merry Christmas!
FATIMA
Feliz Natal!
MERCEDES
Merīkurisumasu!
CANDY
Girl...you're worldly huh?
MERCEDES
You already know!
MADDOX
Le'ts finish this dinner.
FATIMA
Amen.
