>"But another thing we have in common is that we both came up short.">"There's no shame in that. Priscilla Divine is a great wrestler, and anyone can beat anyone here on any night.">"But you know me, I'm Carmody Jefferson, and I don't stay DOWN. I keep moving! I made myself a star! I renegotiated my contract, I grabbed the spotlight, I took the big matches, I've been on the front page and the center stage every chance I get. And I've got a lot of enemies, and former friends, and rivals: people who're watching me with suspicion and jealousy, because while they were putting in the work, paying their dues, and looking up at the top of the Waifu Wrestling Alliance, hoping someday they'll get there, I decided that's where I belong!">"Because the funny thing is: training, paying your dues, putting in the miles, building a foundation: all that's stuff's IMPORTANT, don't get me wrong. But it ain't what makes you a star. BEING A FUCKING STAR is what makes you a star! And that's why I'm out here, week after week, putting my name on the map!">"But Miss USA..... you've been gone a while. Maybe you needed a sabbatical. Maybe you got your bell rung by Priscilla a little bit worse than anybody knew. Or maybe you didn't know what to do, after losing to Priscilla Divine? Maybe you even lost your nerve a little?">"But you're in luck. Because Cupid's arrow has tied you to ME in this Blind Date Match, and now the match is made: Carmody Jefferson, one-on-one with Miss USA! The One to Watch, against the baddest belle from bell to bell, the last two women to challenge for the WWA World Championship, going head to head!"
