The stream cuts in on Hayley Halsey, who as usual, is in an unhappy mood all things considered. She maintains this angry glare as she begins to express her thoughts.
Hayley Halsey: Ridiculous! Everything is ridiculous! But, I shouldn’t worry too much. I mean, tonight, I get the chance to beat Griffin Hawkins and that’s going to be a blast when I do and prevent him from getting any closer to MY National title. I will get to him soon… but I wanted to address the SCREWJOB that happened with my match against Noavrra! You all want to pretend that it didn’t happen and that she actually EARNED the title shot that she had against Alicia Monroe… but… that’s not what happened! I have maintained repeatedly that I grabbed the rope ON TIME and I’ve been mocked for making such an outlandish claim.
HOWEVER…
I have… EXCLUSIVE VIDEO EVIDENCE that I am telling the truth… here… show the footage…
[STATIC]
The scene cuts to that ‘controversial’ pinfall where Hayley did grab the bottom rope right at the three count.
Hayley Halsey (voiceover): There it was in real time! Close, right? The first point of emphasis I want to cover is the count. Let’s focus on the three count and… can we get a stopwatch on that, please?
The footage returns to the beginning of the count with a stopwatch clock added in the upper left corner. The count is replayed with the running clock and when the count is complete, the stopwatch displays “2.7” and the frame freezes again.
Hayley Halsey (voiceover): 2.7! Yeah, JUST a little too fast. Maybe the guy has a reflex that’s like, a tenth of a second quicker than the normal referee. Who knows! I’m going to reset the clock here and focus on the time it took for me to grab the rope.
The clock and the clip resets and the video plays again with more of an emphasis on Hayley grabbing the rope. The clock on the upper right of the screen says “2.4”
Hayley Halsey: As you can see, I DID grab it in time! By three tenths of a second! If you’re STILL not convinced… we’re going to run it ONE more time in slo-mo!
The footage plays one more time which shows Hayley grabbing the rope and the referee’s hand possibly being millimeters off of the mat, but not conclusively.
[STATIC]
Hayley Halsey: See that? You can just BARELY see some space between hand and mat. “BUT IT’S NOT CONCLUSIVE”. That was the point of the clock, damn it!
Hayley takes a pause before she begins to focus on the task at hand tonight.
Hayley Halsey: Griffin Hawkins has been a stalker and a harasser from the day that he came here! He does nothing but provoke me but the biggest offense of his, aside from all of that, is making a claim for the National Championship the moment that he walked in the door! No! He doesn’t get to make that claim! I do! I was the one that was basically SCREWED in my last match! I was the one that was DENIED an opportunity at the National Championship due to referee incompetence! But the powers that be want to brush it off and just have Noavrra and Alicia fight for the title again because they just weren’t fucking good enough to beat each other for it?
No!
This National Championship chase for me doesn’t end because THEY say so! This only ends when I say so! If I have to cripple someone like Griffin Hawkins along the way, so be it but tonight, I get to shove it all right back up his ass! I’m going to make him regret every time he tried to make a fool out of me. Because ultimately, at the end of the day, the only one that is going to look like a fool is HIM! I’ll show him who REALLY deserves to be in National Championship contention!. I’ll make him regret ever putting his name in the ring! I’m going to get another chance at that National Championship on MY terms! There won’t be any gimmick match crap or referee blindness to hold me down! No matter how much the powers that be want to make it all about Alicia and Noavrra, at the end of the day, the one that’s going to get the last laugh is ME!
Tonight? You’ll see exactly what I mean!
At this point, Hayley leaves the studio, having said all she wanted to say. The stream cuts and fades to black afterward.
