Not Intimidated
Posted: Mon Aug 07, 2017 3:36 pm
"Little Miss Bliss... Five Feet of Fury... Blissed Off..."
The scene opened in a darkened room. Alexa Bliss' nicknames had been scrawled on the wall repeatedly, to the point where every inch of the wall was covered with the words Nikki Cross had spoken. Nikki looked around the room with wide-eyed wonder as the camera zoomed in on her, then turned to face the camera and smiled.
Nikki Cross: You think you're sooooo clever, don't you Alexa? Trying to be fierce, making everyone think you're tough even though you're only five feet tall. Do you think you intimidate people with your play on words about being "Blissed Off"?
The smile faded from Nikki's face and she raised her voice aggressively.
Nikki Cross: Do I look intimidated to you?!
She laughed to herself, then shook her head.
Nikki Cross: I grew up in Glasgow, sweetheart. I've had to deal with pissed off people my whole life. I've seen people get stabbed just for looking at someone the wrong way, and I learned how to survive. So I'm not intimidated by a Barbie doll like you, with your bleached her and your colourful extensions. You can talk, and talk, and talk, but me? I prefer actions.
Nikki screamed and began punching and kicking the wall. After a couple of minutes, she stopped. She stepped back and looked down at her right hand, which was bleeding. Nikki laughed, then licked the blood before turning back to the camera.
Nikki Cross: There are a few things you need to know about me, Alexa, so listen carefully. The first one, you've probably already figured out, but in case you haven't...
She whispered softly into the camera.
Nikki Cross: I'm crazy.
She laughed and licked her bloody hand again, then held up two fingers.
Nikki Cross: The second thing you need to know is that I'm not intimidated by anybody. It doesn't matter whether you're five feet tall or seven foot two, if you weigh 100 pounds or 500 pounds. I will fight you. And I fight to win.
Nikki's knuckles were still bleeding. She rubbed her finger over her knuckles, then touched the camera, leaving a bloody fingerprint on the lens.
Nikki Cross: The third thing you need to know about me is that I'm not just here to collect a paycheque and make up the numbers. I want to be the best, and I am going to run through every single woman on this roster. I came here to be the EBWF Women's Champion. People always say the champion has a target on their back, and that may be true – I've sure as hell got my eye on Natalya - but as far as I'm concerned, everyone has a target on their back. Because the other women in EBWF are my competition. The people I have to beat if I want that title. I've already taken out Poison, Liv Morgan and Rebel, but they're small fish compared to you, Lexi. I've seen the way you carry yourself, you think you're better than everyone else. You think you're special, but you're no longer the champion and you're no longer the queen.
Nikki held up four fingers, and grinned manically.
Nikki Cross: The fourth thing you need to know is probably the most important. Alexa, you need to know that you've never been in the ring with anyone quite like me. When you were busy being a bodybuilder, I was training to be a wrestler. I didn't get hired because I look like a sparkly princess, EBWF hired me because they saw what I was capable of. They knew a woman like me would make people take notice. I'm going to make sure you notice me Lexi, but when we meet in the ring tonight, I'm going to seal it with a Glasgow Kiss.
Nikki blew a kiss to Alexa... then headbutted the camera, cracking the lens and bringing the video to an abrupt end.
