Anything Goes

[Ben M]

At Fanniversary, Nikki Cross had been unsuccessful in her quest to win the Women's Title, as she had got herself disqualified. At Survivor Series, she had another shot; but she wasn't happy about the match. Backstage at the American Airlines Center, Nikki was arguing with her manager, Don Callis.

Nikki Cross: It's my title shot, Don. I don't want to share it! It's not fair!

Callis nodded sympathetically.

Don Callis: I understand, Nikki. But Liv Morgan beat you. Jimmy Havoc says giving her a title shot is the right thing to do. We don't have to agree with it, we just have to accept it. Besides, being a triple threat means it's no DQ.

That made Nikki feel better. She grinned.

Nikki Cross: So I can use whatever weapons I like, and the referee can't do anything? Nice. Tables, and ladders, and bears... oh my!

Callis looked confused.

Don Callis: Do you mean chairs?

Nikki thought for a moment.

Nikki Cross: Bears would be more violent. What about bears with chairs?! Can you imagine the carnage?

Nikki laughed to herself. Callis sighed.

Don Callis: It would certainly be a sight to see, but I don't think you'll be allowed any bears in the arena tonight. I'm not even sure there are bears in Texas. You can hurt them with your bear hands though, I know you like that. Remember, anything goes...

Nikki looked excited.

Nikki Cross: Anything?

Don Callis: Well, within reason...

Nikki and Don were interrupted when Matt Striker entered with a cameraman.

Matt Striker: Nikki, can I...

Before he could ask Nikki any questions, Nikki kicked Striker hard in the groin, causing him to keel over in pain. She then grabbed the cameraman, pushing him over and taking the camera.

Nikki Cross: It's not your camera any more, cameraman. It's my weapon! Nattie, Liv... what's out! Lights, camera, ACTION!

Nikki laughed maniacally as she raced off with the camera. Callis followed, leaving Michael Cole and the cameraman down and out in the locker room area.
