I was on the best run of my career before that dog fight match. A match I was forced into. A match my heart was never truly in as I was forced to put hands on my sister. Now that's behind me, all I want is to get back to where I was before it and show the world that the real number one star in this company isn't a pampered self proclaimed Angel, a past her prime mother who'd be better off staying in the office or some reject from another company trying to find relevance by parading around with my name. And I can't think of a better way to do it than by claiming a prize more valuable than the titles those women hold. The B1. I'm in it and I'm in it to win it."
"That's great news, Ms. Kade," Alphonso replies. The next question is an easy one to remember for him. It's the same one he tried to ask Cassie in the parking lot. "Are you at all worried that the fact all three members of The Widowmaker Society will be competing in the B1 could cause friction between you three?"
Cassie bursts into laughter. "Friction between us? Just because we'd be wrestling each other? Don't be ridiculous. This isn't some cutesy friend group bullshit destined for a stellar implosion, or a bunch of sycophants divinely sucking on the teat of a narcissistic benefactor. Kasumi is a Widowmaker because I fought her myself and decided she was worthy, and she knew from fighting me that she wanted to be on my side. Kelly? The same, and easily one of the most resilient women I've ever gone up against. So wrestling my girls won't cause any issues, because we've done it already. But you know, even though they've both wrestled me, they've never wrestled each other. I'd love to see that."
