It was in January of 2020 that the Cerebral Lassassin better known as Becky Lynch made her return to the EBWF alongside her best friend, her partner in crime, her other half, the Satanic Diva also known as Winter. At the 2020 Royal Rumble, Becky was the runner up in the Women’s Rumble. On the road to WrestleMania XIX, Becky had soundly defeated then-Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler. With the victory over the Women’s Champion, Becky had began lobbying to be added to the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania XIX.
When the idea was shot down, mainly because of Trish Stratus not wanting to be upstaged by the bigger star and the better performer, Becky set out on a mission to become the Women’s Champion by any means necessary. She lowered herself to participating in the Queen of the Ring tournament despite the fact that she had beaten everyone in her wake. To the surprise of no one, Becky Lynch won the 2020 Queen of the Ring tournament.
The match for the 2020 SummerSlam event was set between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus. It seemed like the hard work that Becky had been putting in was about to pay off and that she would get the title reign that she so richly deserved, but alas it did not happen, and why? The answer was very simple. It was due to outside interference from Natalya. Yes, Natalya cost her the Women’s Championship.
In response to that, Becky Lynch started parading around a Women’s Championship belt and declared herself the Real Women’s Champion much to the delight of the EBWF fans and the dismay of EBWF management. It was also around this time, the late summer/early fall of 2020, when Becky started breaking out into Hollywood. Her first film, a film based on the 2003 Manhunt video game, was a smash hit. The doors flew open for her. She also starred in a film based on the very first Saints Row video game. It was another smash hit.
Hollywood was literally breaking down her door in order to get her for movies, tv shows, commercials, anything and everything. The amount of money that Becky made with one movie was enough for her buy herself out of her EBWF contract and then some. She could have just said, “Fuck it,” and left EBWF, but like she has said, her reason for staying was because of her fans.
In the months since SummerSlam 2020, Becky Lynch had been lobbying, been goading the company to give her one more match with Trish Stratus for the Women’s Championship. However, it never happened due to Trish being a “chickenshite” in the words of Becky.
At the turn of the year, January 2021, Becky found herself in the Women’s Rumble once again. Once again, she was passed over for someone less deserving than her. In 2020, it was Trish Stratus. This time, it was Raquel Diaz. On the road to WrestleMania, Becky Lynch once again beat the Women’s Champion in a one on one match. Unlike 2020, Becky was added to the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania. Mostly because Trish was not there to politic.
Once again, Becky felt like her time was coming, that all of the hard work that she put into two careers at once, burning the candle at both ends, would pay off. When the match came, Becky and Raquel pinned Tam Nakano. While Becky pinned Tam first, the referee declared Raquel Diaz as the Women’s Champion. With righteous fury, Becky attacked Raquel and took the Women’s Championship, because Becky won it.
It didn’t take long for Becky to realize why the referee declared Raquel Diaz the winner. As was revealed on the Warfare after WrestleMania, Raquel had transferred quite a hefty sum to the referee of the match for the Women’s Championship at WrestleMania. In short, Raquel bribed the referee.
In the ensuing months, Raquel and Leva Bates cowardly attacked Becky Lynch and stole Becky’s championship. Raquel decided to make the claim that Becky bribed the referee at WrestleMania, which makes absolutely no sense and fell on deaf ears because of Raquel’s family’s mantra of “Lie, Cheat, and Steal.”
While Raquel and Leva bored the shit out of people in a match that hardly anyone cared to watch, Becky was back in Hollywood finishing up a movie based on Gears of War. It was announced that Becky would wasting her time in another Queen of the Ring tournament. Just like in 2020, Becky won to the surprise of no one.
Again, Becky was slated to fight for the championship that she won at WrestleMania but was fucked over due to corrupt officiating. She was supposed to fight the Paper Champion at SummerSlam but was arrested because she exacted some revenge on Leva Bates and Britt Baker for costing her a match. She destroyed their car and set it on fire.
This time in jail caused the Cerebral Lassassin to miss SummerSlam. The company had to scramble to send someone else out to face Raquel while the crowd was deafening with their chants of “We Want Becky” much like when the crowd chanted “We Want Flair” during Great American Bash in 1991.
Now that Becky is out and her legal problem is behind her, she now looks forward to Fanniversary. She looks forward to ending this near two years of hell of getting what belongs to her, the EBWF Women’s Championship that she won at WrestleMania XX.
With it being an I Quit match enclosed in a Hell in a Cell, that leaves Becky Lynch no error. She knows that it’s definitely do or die time, and she’s not planning on rolling over and dying when she’s so close to the belt she won and had stolen from her through bribery at WrestleMania.
So, now the question is thrown. Who will be the one to utter the phrase “I Quit”?

Scene 1: The Opie Radio Podcast
Starring: Becky Lynch, Winter, and Gregg “Opie” Hughes
The scene opens up with the legendary shock jock, Gregg Hughes also known as Opie. He is sitting in front of his microphone in a booth for his podcast, and boy, does he have a treat for everyone today.
“Welcome to the Opie Radio Show Podcast. I don’t need any introduction, but just in case, I’m your host, Opie. This week, I’m somewhere special. This week, I’m coming to you live from the site of one of EBWF’s biggest shows of the year, Fanniversary. I can’t think of having a big show like this without my guests today. One is the biggest star in wrestling and in Hollywood. The other is the Devil. I’m talking, of course, about Becky Lynch and Winter.”
Sitting right next to him is none other than the duo collectively known as Fire and Ice, the Cerebral Lassassin better known as Becky Lynch and the Queen of Chaos also known as Winter.
“I know the big shows usually bring out a lot of stars, but I never thought I’d see ya here, Opie. I’m shocked. I guess that’s why yer a shock jock.” Becky says while shrugging her shoulders.
“It’s not my first time working for a pro wrestling company, but I’m guessing you’ve heard of me.” Opie says in response.
Winter raises an eyebrow. “Heard of you? I’m the reason why you have a career. I’m the reason why you and Anthony met. The devil comes in many forms and this woman is the form I’ve taken for the last thirteen years.”
Opie makes a face that basically says ‘Meh, point taken.’ Becky chuckles a little bit before responding to Opie. “Yeah, I heard of ya. I used to listen to yer show with Anthony when I came to the United States. I even managed to track down a copy of Demented World.”
“Oh, you did, did you? After the compilation was released, neither me nor Anthony made any residuals.” Opie says with a laugh. “If I may ask, what was your favorite bit from that?”
Becky and Winter look at one another before looking back at Opie. “I will answer first. My favorite was the bit that made fun of Ronald Reagan.”
“My favorite bit was the Green Bay Pizza bit.” Becky says with a laugh.
“I had as much fun doing the prank calls as you both did listening to them.” Opie says. “But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because I want to interview you, Becky. How about a little bit about your past?”
“Well, I was born and raised in Dublin, and I joined a wrestlin’ school run by Fergal Devitt. I made my debut in November 2002 at the age of fifteen. I wrestled all over the world. I retired fer a few years, went to college, graduated, and returned to wrestlin’. I’ve been wrestlin’ ever since.”
“So, you’ve been under your current contract with the EBWF since January of 2020. What’s it like working for them?”
“It’s hit er miss just like every other job. Ya gotta take the good with the bad, though it seems like more bad happens to me than good in EBWF. The only good I really feel is just the adrenaline rush from the crowd. Just to hear them singin’ along with my theme, to know that they’re forever in my corner, it’s what helps get me through. That and my best friend Winter. I’ve been extremely popular whenever I was around in EBWF and that’s what led me to Hollywood. I’ve acted in multiple movies already and they were all hits. That took my popularity to new heights. The kind of popularity that very few get to experience like Dwayne Johnson, Hulk Hogan, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.”
“You brought up how more bad happens to you than good. Care to elaborate?” Opie asks. “I mean, you do seem like you have an axe to grind. Can you tell me and my listeners more about that?”
“I have to say that it does get tirin’ havin’ to butt heads with people on a near daily basis. It seems like it’s happened since I returned nearly two years ago. When I returned, I did want to be a Heel, but it didn’t work. People just kept cheerin’ me, no matter what I did. They piped in boos over the cheers I got like how WCW would pipe in cheers over the boos that Hulk Hogan got in 1995. They tried everythin’ to make me the villain, because that’s what I wanted but crowd reactions said different. I knew it wasn’t workin’. That didn’t stop them or me from tryin’. It’s like when people caught on to Stone Cold in 1996-1997 before he officially turned Face the same night that Bret Hart officially turned Heel. The whole story that ran through the Spring and Summer of 2020 was I thought that Trish was duckin’ me. That came about because I beat the then-Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler, and I asked to be added to the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania.”
“And it didn’t happen.” Opie concludes.
“Right. So, to this day, I think Trish Stratus had somethin’ to do with that. That’s where a lot of the frustration came from on my end. So, with my intelligence, I figured to let my legit thoughts on the whole situation come out on live TV. I brought up how she was an absentee champion, and she was. I brought up how she was too chickenshite to face me, and she was. I gained enough traction that they told me, ‘Hey, we’re puttin’ ya in the Queen of the Ring tournament’ and I really didn’t want to because I thought it was a waste, and I said so. They tried to make me the villain over that and the crowd just kept eatin’ up what I had to say. In the lead up to SummerSlam, the crowds were very pro-Becky to the point where they worked overtime to pipe boos in over the cheers I got while also piping in cheers over the boos that Trish got. One week, they told me that I’m Pillmanizin’ Trish’s arm and then I’ll beat her in ten seconds with the Dis-Arm-Her. You know, to try to give that lost cause some sympathy. The crowd wasn’t givin’ her any sympathy. They were givin’ her chants of ‘You Deserve It’ which they piped in boos over.”
“And then what happened?”
“SummerSlam came and the crowd was hot fer a Becky Lynch win. Does it happen? Do they give the people what they want? No. They told me they’re gonna have Trish retain thanks to Natalya, and it was much to the delight of no one in the audience. I asked, ‘Are we comin’ back from that? Am I gettin’ another title shot?’ They told me, ‘No. It was a one and done.’ So, that angered me and that’s what led to my paradin’ around the Real Women’s Championship belt, because Trish fooked off until the Royal Rumble thus handicappin’ the division. Meanwhile, I was there day in and day out every week even with my Hollywood career takin’ off, so I deserved to be the champion. I deserved to be champion because one, I’m there every week even with a Hollywood schedule, which is a lot more work than bein’ a mother. Two, I beat Trish in less than ten seconds. Three, Trish needed Natalya to beat me. That’s all that went through my mind durin’ that time. That, and that this company slighted me again. They continued slightin’ me this year.”
“What did they do?”
“First, they said to me, ‘Just like last year, yer in the final four of the Women’s Rumble.’ I asked if I’m winnin’ considerin’ the fact that crowds everywhere are clamorin’ to see me win. Why did I even ask? I was told, ‘No. Yer gonna be the second runner-up. We’re givin’ the win to Raquel Diaz’ who hadn’t been seen much in fook knows how long. I finally got a break that I earned. They said, ‘Yer beatin’ Tam Nakano tonight and we’re addin’ ya to the WrestleMania title match.’ My first thought was, ‘Why the fook didn’t ya do this fer me last year. Oh wait…’”
“What happened at WrestleMania was that you pinned the champion.”
“Yeah. WrestleMania came around and I pinned Tam Nakano first yet Raquel had her hand raised and was awarded my title. I wasn’t told what would happen, so my reaction was very genuine. I was incredibly angry that I was slighted once again by the company and I took my belt. I provided legitimate evidence of bribery on behalf of Raquel Diaz under her real name. She had sworn up and down that she didn’t do it. She tried to pin it on me, and nobody believes her, and why the fook would ya believe her? She was caught transferrin’ money from her account to the referee’s and she’s not takin’ the blame fer it. I know that ‘Lyin, Cheatin, and Stealin’ is the Guerrero family tradition, but I didn’t think narcissism would be either. There’s an acronym that suits Raquel to a tee. It’s called DARVO.”
“DARVO?”
“DARVO stands fer Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It fits her. She denies bribin’ the referee. She’s attacked me verbally and physically, both in cowardly fashion I might add. Finally, she’s tried reversin’ the victim and offender, and no one bought it because everyone knows better.”
“How did you come about the championship match you’re in now?”
“The original plan in the works was I was supposed to face her after WrestleMania, but it didn’t happen because my father died and I had to take a sabbatical. When I returned, I was told that I have to give the belt back or I’d be suspended. I coulda just walked because my Hollywood career’s goin’ so well, but then that would leave the crowds in utter boredom because I’m not there. So, I invited Raquel to come take it from me. I was attacked and taken off TV. After they took me off TV so Raquel and Leva could have a match that no one remembers or cares to remember, they told me ‘We’re bringin’ ya back fer the Queen of the Ring tournament.’ I was dead set against it. I was like ‘I already did it last year. I don’t care if I’m supposed to win, I really don’t want to be a part of it.’ This was a case of my bein’ dragged kickin’ and screamin’ into doin’ it. I didn’t want to do it because it honestly makes me think I’m gonna be slighted again. Like ya really needed a spoiler, I won. Then, the match was supposed to happen at SummerSlam in a Hell in a Cell match.”
“Oh yeah, it didn’t happen because you were arrested. Did you really torch that car?”
“Yes, and I’d do it to them again. Last I knew, they had to hitchhike from the arena.” Becky says with a laugh. “For Fanniversary, I plan on gettin’ what’s mine, what should have been awarded to me at WrestleMania, the EBWF Women’s Championship. This time, a Hell in a Cell I Quit match. I’ll say this right now. If ya hear the words ‘I Quit’ comin’ from me mouth at Fanniversary, be skeptical. Be VERY skeptical, because if Raquel Diaz would go to the trouble of bribin’ a referee to be awarded a title she didn’t win, ya can best be damn sure that she’d try somethin’ to make it seem like I said ‘I Quit’.”
“On our final note. Is there anyone you think we, myself and my listeners, should keep our eye on?”
Becky and Winter look at one another and then back to Opie. “Alexa Bliss. She’s someone that should have an eye kept on her. When she returned, she seemed like she lost a few steps. The first time I faced her, it felt like a night off because she wasn’t how she was before. The last time I faced her, she really brought it. I won, but she put up a hell of a fight. She gave me a great fight.”
“And that is why I said that she improved. It was not a backhanded compliment like some like to think. They were words of encouragement. She seems like she’s gained a step or two in the right direction, that she’s slowly but surely returning to form.”
“I look forward to the day that she does return to full form, because that would be a match fer the ages.”
“Well, that’s all the time that we have here. Becky, Winter. Thank you for joining me.”
“Thanks fer havin’ us.” Becky says as she and Winter stand up and walk out of the booth.

Scene 2: Autograph Session
Starring: Becky Lynch and Winter
The duo collectively known as Fire and Ice, the Cerebral Lassassin also known as Becky Lynch and the Devil better known as Winter are at their autograph signing during its closing moments. While one would expect the closing moments to have less and less people, such is not the case when it comes to Becky and Winter. In fact, with it being the closing moments of the autograph session, more and more people showed up.
The place was packed to the brim with people looking to get an autograph and a picture with the tremendously popular duo at the beginning of their autograph session. Now with it being the last few minutes, even more people are there looking for an autograph and a picture.
“This…” Becky says as she looks at Winter. “This is what makes it all worth it. To put a smile on the faces of these people. Men, women, non-binary, what people choose to identify as, children. To make them all happy with just a picture and an autograph, to make their day like that, it makes my day much better.”
“Yeah, I can see why you enjoy this so much. It can be very therapeutic. I feel invigorated by this. I feel invigorated by a glass of scotch, but this is a very acceptable alternative.” Winter says as she signs a picture of herself for a little girl.
As the little girl walks away, she can be heard. “Mommy? What’s scotch?”
The mother, perplexed by the question, looks at Winter, the latter of whom makes shifty eyes. Before Winter can answer truthfully and descriptively, the mother answers with “It’s a big people drink, honey.” The mother and daughter walk away.
The clock chimes and it is now six o’clock in the evening. An announcement is made over the PA System. “Ladies and gentlemen, it is now six o’clock and the autograph session is over. Thank you for joining us.”
The crowd lets a collective groan before Becky walks over to the booth where the PA System is and grabs a microphone. “No way. Everyone, stay put because me and Winter aren’t leavin’ until we sign all of yer autographs and take all of yer pictures.”
The crowd cheers as the Cerebral Lassassin makes her way back to her table and sits next to Winter. Winter looks at her and just smirks before nodding her head. “Well, looks like we got a long night.”
Becky looks at Winter with a grin and responds. “Yeah, and these people deserve it. They take the time and money to come see us, either at a show or an autograph session like this, so why not?” With that said, the duo of Fire and Ice continue to sign autographs and take pictures with each and every fan. Slowly, but surely, the area depletes. It is not until one-thirty in the morning that every person had an autograph signed or a picture taken or both.
As Becky and Winter are both about to leave and go to their penthouse at the Hilton Hotel, they notice a little girl and her mother at the door. The little girl is asleep in her stroller. “Can we help ya?”
“Yes. My daughter is a big fan of yours and we were looking to get autographs, but she’s asleep.” The mother says.
“I’ll tell ya what I’ll do.” Becky says as she grabs the remaining dual pack of action figures containing action figures of Winter and herself. Becky signs the side that her action figure is on and Winter signs the side that the Winter action figure is on before Becky hands it over to the weary mother. “I’ll give this to ya fer her.” The mother takes the pack of action figures and places it into her bag.
Becky and Winter turn and start to leave before they hear a small voice. “Becky, wait!” Becky and Winter stop in their tracks, and they turn around to see the groggy little girl. The two women approach the stroller and they lean down to come face to face with her. The little girl hugs the both of them and the mother quickly takes out her phone to take a picture.
Becky reaches into her pocket and pulls something out before putting it into the little girl’s pocket. The little releases Becky and Winter. “Get some sleep. It’s a big day tomorrow.” With that said, Becky and Winter walk away.
Meanwhile, the little girl reaches into her pocket and pulls out what Becky put into it. “What do you have?” The little girl looks at the tickets before handing them to her mother. The mother’s eyes widen and her jaw drops, dumbfounded. “Oh, my god. Front row tickets and backstage passes?” The little girl squeals.
While Becky and Winter walk away, they look at one another grin.

Scene 3: Locked Up
Starring: Becky Lynch
It is a mere three hours away from the pay per view extravaganza better known as Fanniversary, one of the biggest pay per views of the year. The importance of Fanniversary is comparable to that of WrestleMania. It is another show where the EBWF goes all out. Stars of the past and stars of the present all come out in order to serve the fanbase, to give the fans memories for good and ill.
Out of all of the stars in EBWF, none shines brighter than the Cerebral Lassassin better known as Becky Lynch. The arena will be packed with people that want to see Becky Lynch triumphantly regain what she won at WrestleMania, the EBWF Women’s Championship.
However, it will not be just a regular match. It will not even be a regular Hell in a Cell match. It will an I Quit match that will take place inside of the Hell in a Cell. Given her recent legal problems that prevented her from fighting Raquel Diaz at SummerSlam, one has to wonder if anything has changed from her short stint in jail. As was once said, jail changes you, but has it changed Becky Lynch? Is she the same person she was before her short time in jail? Has she become more feral? Has she become soft?
With the matches she’s had since she got out, one can say that she has changed, that she has become, that softness is antonymous to Becky Lynch. If anything, her short time in a cage has hardened her. One has to wonder if that will do her any good when comes to the I Quit Hell in a Cell match.
Yes, people are looking for good memories and the best memory that they can have is of Becky Lynch finally raising the Women’s Championship that she won at WrestleMania high above her head. Will tonight be a triumph for Becky Lynch and the EBWF fanbase as a whole or will it be a moment of tragedy as the paper champion, Raquel Diaz, worms her way to continuing the reign that she never earned?
The scene starts out with Becky Lynch standing in the middle of the ring. The ring is surrounded by the cage that is used for the Hell in a Cell and will be used in the I Quit match tonight. Becky looks around at the steel structure that is currently enclosed on the ringside area.
“Ya know, if I were anyone else, I’d be fearful when it comes to standin’ in the middle of this cage. But ever since my short time in jail, I’ve become more accustomed to bein’ locked in a cage. Bein’ locked in a cage like this changes ya. When yer locked in a cage like this, it’s when ya find out who ya truly are. In a cage, yer either broken beyond belief or ya fight to survive. With the brief stint I did in jail, I fought to survive. I fought to show that I run the cage just like I’ve been fightin’ to survive the last twenty two months and provin’ that I run this division.”
Becky slowly walks toward the hard camera. “And bein’ surrounded by four walls made of steel could make someone uncomfortable. It could make someone feel claustrophobic, but I’m not one of those people. When I stepped into this cage, it was more of a ‘Welcome home, Becky. Welcome to Hell. We’ve been expectin’ ya in this house of torture’ because no one tortures their enemies like me. When it comes to torture, I learned from the best. I learned from the Devil herself, Winter.”
“Fer months, ya’ve been runnin’ around with my property, Raquel. Ya paid off the referee at WrestleMania to declare ya the winner when I pinned Tam Nakano first. Ya keep tellin’ people, more so yerself, that I opened an account under yer real name and paid the referee with my own money. Ya know what? That was such a terrible lie that even yer own father, Eddie Guerrero, would shake his head at ya. That was a terrible lie especially fer a Guerrero. Ya enlisted Leva Bates to aid ya in stealin’ my belt because yer too much of a coward to fight me yerself.”
A sinister looking grin forms on the face of the Cerebral Lassassin as she approaches the door to the cage and grabs it. “But ya know what? When this door slams shut…” Becky slams the cage door shut. “And yer locked in here with me, yer goin’ to come to the realization that there’s no place to run and that there’s no place to hide, and I’ll have my vengeance. I’ll beat ya like a redheaded stepchild.”
Becky opens the door and steps out of the cage. “By all means, please try to escape this structure that I call ‘home.’ When you manage to worm yer way out, you’ll come to another realization…” Becky looks up at the roof of the twenty two foot high cage. “That there’s no place to go but up…” Becky says as she starts climbing up the side of the cage.
Once she reaches the roof, Becky pulls herself up onto it and stands up on the roof. “When ya get up here, I’ll be waitin’, Raquel. That’s when I’ll complete my vengeance by beatin’ ya, batterin’ ya, and bloodyin’ ya to the point that ya resemble Rocky Dennis. The pain will only stop when ya say the magic words… ‘I QUIT!’ If ya haven’t said those words by then…” Becky points to the hard camera side (aka the south side of the arena), the north side of the arena, the entrance side of the arena (the west side of the arena), and finally, the east side of the arena. “All I’ll have to do is wonder where yer landin’, because I have no problem with throwin’ ya off the structure that I call home. When I do, I’ll have taken sweet revenge, and yer goin’ to utter the words ‘I QUIT’!”
The Cerebral Lassassin sits Indian style on the roof of the Hell in a Cell and says these final words. “It’s been twenty two long hard months since I returned. I’ve had to deal with Trish Stratus winnin’ the Rumble in my place, Trish keepin’ me out of a title match after I beat the then-Champion, Natalya screwin’ me outta the title, not gettin’ a rematch because Natalya screwed me outta the title, yer winnin’ the Rumble in my place this year, yer bribin’ the referee to declare ya the winner, yer usin’ Leva Bates to steal my title, and now it comes to a head. To echo what I said earlier. There’s no place to run if ya could run, there’s no place to hide, there’s no Leva Bates to help ya, and there’s no officials to be bribed. Just Becky Lynch’s purgatory.”
When the idea was shot down, mainly because of Trish Stratus not wanting to be upstaged by the bigger star and the better performer, Becky set out on a mission to become the Women’s Champion by any means necessary. She lowered herself to participating in the Queen of the Ring tournament despite the fact that she had beaten everyone in her wake. To the surprise of no one, Becky Lynch won the 2020 Queen of the Ring tournament.
The match for the 2020 SummerSlam event was set between Becky Lynch and Trish Stratus. It seemed like the hard work that Becky had been putting in was about to pay off and that she would get the title reign that she so richly deserved, but alas it did not happen, and why? The answer was very simple. It was due to outside interference from Natalya. Yes, Natalya cost her the Women’s Championship.
In response to that, Becky Lynch started parading around a Women’s Championship belt and declared herself the Real Women’s Champion much to the delight of the EBWF fans and the dismay of EBWF management. It was also around this time, the late summer/early fall of 2020, when Becky started breaking out into Hollywood. Her first film, a film based on the 2003 Manhunt video game, was a smash hit. The doors flew open for her. She also starred in a film based on the very first Saints Row video game. It was another smash hit.
Hollywood was literally breaking down her door in order to get her for movies, tv shows, commercials, anything and everything. The amount of money that Becky made with one movie was enough for her buy herself out of her EBWF contract and then some. She could have just said, “Fuck it,” and left EBWF, but like she has said, her reason for staying was because of her fans.
In the months since SummerSlam 2020, Becky Lynch had been lobbying, been goading the company to give her one more match with Trish Stratus for the Women’s Championship. However, it never happened due to Trish being a “chickenshite” in the words of Becky.
At the turn of the year, January 2021, Becky found herself in the Women’s Rumble once again. Once again, she was passed over for someone less deserving than her. In 2020, it was Trish Stratus. This time, it was Raquel Diaz. On the road to WrestleMania, Becky Lynch once again beat the Women’s Champion in a one on one match. Unlike 2020, Becky was added to the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania. Mostly because Trish was not there to politic.
Once again, Becky felt like her time was coming, that all of the hard work that she put into two careers at once, burning the candle at both ends, would pay off. When the match came, Becky and Raquel pinned Tam Nakano. While Becky pinned Tam first, the referee declared Raquel Diaz as the Women’s Champion. With righteous fury, Becky attacked Raquel and took the Women’s Championship, because Becky won it.
It didn’t take long for Becky to realize why the referee declared Raquel Diaz the winner. As was revealed on the Warfare after WrestleMania, Raquel had transferred quite a hefty sum to the referee of the match for the Women’s Championship at WrestleMania. In short, Raquel bribed the referee.
In the ensuing months, Raquel and Leva Bates cowardly attacked Becky Lynch and stole Becky’s championship. Raquel decided to make the claim that Becky bribed the referee at WrestleMania, which makes absolutely no sense and fell on deaf ears because of Raquel’s family’s mantra of “Lie, Cheat, and Steal.”
While Raquel and Leva bored the shit out of people in a match that hardly anyone cared to watch, Becky was back in Hollywood finishing up a movie based on Gears of War. It was announced that Becky would wasting her time in another Queen of the Ring tournament. Just like in 2020, Becky won to the surprise of no one.
Again, Becky was slated to fight for the championship that she won at WrestleMania but was fucked over due to corrupt officiating. She was supposed to fight the Paper Champion at SummerSlam but was arrested because she exacted some revenge on Leva Bates and Britt Baker for costing her a match. She destroyed their car and set it on fire.
This time in jail caused the Cerebral Lassassin to miss SummerSlam. The company had to scramble to send someone else out to face Raquel while the crowd was deafening with their chants of “We Want Becky” much like when the crowd chanted “We Want Flair” during Great American Bash in 1991.
Now that Becky is out and her legal problem is behind her, she now looks forward to Fanniversary. She looks forward to ending this near two years of hell of getting what belongs to her, the EBWF Women’s Championship that she won at WrestleMania XX.
With it being an I Quit match enclosed in a Hell in a Cell, that leaves Becky Lynch no error. She knows that it’s definitely do or die time, and she’s not planning on rolling over and dying when she’s so close to the belt she won and had stolen from her through bribery at WrestleMania.
So, now the question is thrown. Who will be the one to utter the phrase “I Quit”?

Scene 1: The Opie Radio Podcast
Starring: Becky Lynch, Winter, and Gregg “Opie” Hughes
The scene opens up with the legendary shock jock, Gregg Hughes also known as Opie. He is sitting in front of his microphone in a booth for his podcast, and boy, does he have a treat for everyone today.
“Welcome to the Opie Radio Show Podcast. I don’t need any introduction, but just in case, I’m your host, Opie. This week, I’m somewhere special. This week, I’m coming to you live from the site of one of EBWF’s biggest shows of the year, Fanniversary. I can’t think of having a big show like this without my guests today. One is the biggest star in wrestling and in Hollywood. The other is the Devil. I’m talking, of course, about Becky Lynch and Winter.”
Sitting right next to him is none other than the duo collectively known as Fire and Ice, the Cerebral Lassassin better known as Becky Lynch and the Queen of Chaos also known as Winter.
“I know the big shows usually bring out a lot of stars, but I never thought I’d see ya here, Opie. I’m shocked. I guess that’s why yer a shock jock.” Becky says while shrugging her shoulders.
“It’s not my first time working for a pro wrestling company, but I’m guessing you’ve heard of me.” Opie says in response.
Winter raises an eyebrow. “Heard of you? I’m the reason why you have a career. I’m the reason why you and Anthony met. The devil comes in many forms and this woman is the form I’ve taken for the last thirteen years.”
Opie makes a face that basically says ‘Meh, point taken.’ Becky chuckles a little bit before responding to Opie. “Yeah, I heard of ya. I used to listen to yer show with Anthony when I came to the United States. I even managed to track down a copy of Demented World.”
“Oh, you did, did you? After the compilation was released, neither me nor Anthony made any residuals.” Opie says with a laugh. “If I may ask, what was your favorite bit from that?”
Becky and Winter look at one another before looking back at Opie. “I will answer first. My favorite was the bit that made fun of Ronald Reagan.”
“My favorite bit was the Green Bay Pizza bit.” Becky says with a laugh.
“I had as much fun doing the prank calls as you both did listening to them.” Opie says. “But that’s not why I’m here. I’m here because I want to interview you, Becky. How about a little bit about your past?”
“Well, I was born and raised in Dublin, and I joined a wrestlin’ school run by Fergal Devitt. I made my debut in November 2002 at the age of fifteen. I wrestled all over the world. I retired fer a few years, went to college, graduated, and returned to wrestlin’. I’ve been wrestlin’ ever since.”
“So, you’ve been under your current contract with the EBWF since January of 2020. What’s it like working for them?”
“It’s hit er miss just like every other job. Ya gotta take the good with the bad, though it seems like more bad happens to me than good in EBWF. The only good I really feel is just the adrenaline rush from the crowd. Just to hear them singin’ along with my theme, to know that they’re forever in my corner, it’s what helps get me through. That and my best friend Winter. I’ve been extremely popular whenever I was around in EBWF and that’s what led me to Hollywood. I’ve acted in multiple movies already and they were all hits. That took my popularity to new heights. The kind of popularity that very few get to experience like Dwayne Johnson, Hulk Hogan, and Stone Cold Steve Austin.”
“You brought up how more bad happens to you than good. Care to elaborate?” Opie asks. “I mean, you do seem like you have an axe to grind. Can you tell me and my listeners more about that?”
“I have to say that it does get tirin’ havin’ to butt heads with people on a near daily basis. It seems like it’s happened since I returned nearly two years ago. When I returned, I did want to be a Heel, but it didn’t work. People just kept cheerin’ me, no matter what I did. They piped in boos over the cheers I got like how WCW would pipe in cheers over the boos that Hulk Hogan got in 1995. They tried everythin’ to make me the villain, because that’s what I wanted but crowd reactions said different. I knew it wasn’t workin’. That didn’t stop them or me from tryin’. It’s like when people caught on to Stone Cold in 1996-1997 before he officially turned Face the same night that Bret Hart officially turned Heel. The whole story that ran through the Spring and Summer of 2020 was I thought that Trish was duckin’ me. That came about because I beat the then-Women’s Champion, Shayna Baszler, and I asked to be added to the Women’s Championship match at WrestleMania.”
“And it didn’t happen.” Opie concludes.
“Right. So, to this day, I think Trish Stratus had somethin’ to do with that. That’s where a lot of the frustration came from on my end. So, with my intelligence, I figured to let my legit thoughts on the whole situation come out on live TV. I brought up how she was an absentee champion, and she was. I brought up how she was too chickenshite to face me, and she was. I gained enough traction that they told me, ‘Hey, we’re puttin’ ya in the Queen of the Ring tournament’ and I really didn’t want to because I thought it was a waste, and I said so. They tried to make me the villain over that and the crowd just kept eatin’ up what I had to say. In the lead up to SummerSlam, the crowds were very pro-Becky to the point where they worked overtime to pipe boos in over the cheers I got while also piping in cheers over the boos that Trish got. One week, they told me that I’m Pillmanizin’ Trish’s arm and then I’ll beat her in ten seconds with the Dis-Arm-Her. You know, to try to give that lost cause some sympathy. The crowd wasn’t givin’ her any sympathy. They were givin’ her chants of ‘You Deserve It’ which they piped in boos over.”
“And then what happened?”
“SummerSlam came and the crowd was hot fer a Becky Lynch win. Does it happen? Do they give the people what they want? No. They told me they’re gonna have Trish retain thanks to Natalya, and it was much to the delight of no one in the audience. I asked, ‘Are we comin’ back from that? Am I gettin’ another title shot?’ They told me, ‘No. It was a one and done.’ So, that angered me and that’s what led to my paradin’ around the Real Women’s Championship belt, because Trish fooked off until the Royal Rumble thus handicappin’ the division. Meanwhile, I was there day in and day out every week even with my Hollywood career takin’ off, so I deserved to be the champion. I deserved to be champion because one, I’m there every week even with a Hollywood schedule, which is a lot more work than bein’ a mother. Two, I beat Trish in less than ten seconds. Three, Trish needed Natalya to beat me. That’s all that went through my mind durin’ that time. That, and that this company slighted me again. They continued slightin’ me this year.”
“What did they do?”
“First, they said to me, ‘Just like last year, yer in the final four of the Women’s Rumble.’ I asked if I’m winnin’ considerin’ the fact that crowds everywhere are clamorin’ to see me win. Why did I even ask? I was told, ‘No. Yer gonna be the second runner-up. We’re givin’ the win to Raquel Diaz’ who hadn’t been seen much in fook knows how long. I finally got a break that I earned. They said, ‘Yer beatin’ Tam Nakano tonight and we’re addin’ ya to the WrestleMania title match.’ My first thought was, ‘Why the fook didn’t ya do this fer me last year. Oh wait…’”
“What happened at WrestleMania was that you pinned the champion.”
“Yeah. WrestleMania came around and I pinned Tam Nakano first yet Raquel had her hand raised and was awarded my title. I wasn’t told what would happen, so my reaction was very genuine. I was incredibly angry that I was slighted once again by the company and I took my belt. I provided legitimate evidence of bribery on behalf of Raquel Diaz under her real name. She had sworn up and down that she didn’t do it. She tried to pin it on me, and nobody believes her, and why the fook would ya believe her? She was caught transferrin’ money from her account to the referee’s and she’s not takin’ the blame fer it. I know that ‘Lyin, Cheatin, and Stealin’ is the Guerrero family tradition, but I didn’t think narcissism would be either. There’s an acronym that suits Raquel to a tee. It’s called DARVO.”
“DARVO?”
“DARVO stands fer Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender. It fits her. She denies bribin’ the referee. She’s attacked me verbally and physically, both in cowardly fashion I might add. Finally, she’s tried reversin’ the victim and offender, and no one bought it because everyone knows better.”
“How did you come about the championship match you’re in now?”
“The original plan in the works was I was supposed to face her after WrestleMania, but it didn’t happen because my father died and I had to take a sabbatical. When I returned, I was told that I have to give the belt back or I’d be suspended. I coulda just walked because my Hollywood career’s goin’ so well, but then that would leave the crowds in utter boredom because I’m not there. So, I invited Raquel to come take it from me. I was attacked and taken off TV. After they took me off TV so Raquel and Leva could have a match that no one remembers or cares to remember, they told me ‘We’re bringin’ ya back fer the Queen of the Ring tournament.’ I was dead set against it. I was like ‘I already did it last year. I don’t care if I’m supposed to win, I really don’t want to be a part of it.’ This was a case of my bein’ dragged kickin’ and screamin’ into doin’ it. I didn’t want to do it because it honestly makes me think I’m gonna be slighted again. Like ya really needed a spoiler, I won. Then, the match was supposed to happen at SummerSlam in a Hell in a Cell match.”
“Oh yeah, it didn’t happen because you were arrested. Did you really torch that car?”
“Yes, and I’d do it to them again. Last I knew, they had to hitchhike from the arena.” Becky says with a laugh. “For Fanniversary, I plan on gettin’ what’s mine, what should have been awarded to me at WrestleMania, the EBWF Women’s Championship. This time, a Hell in a Cell I Quit match. I’ll say this right now. If ya hear the words ‘I Quit’ comin’ from me mouth at Fanniversary, be skeptical. Be VERY skeptical, because if Raquel Diaz would go to the trouble of bribin’ a referee to be awarded a title she didn’t win, ya can best be damn sure that she’d try somethin’ to make it seem like I said ‘I Quit’.”
“On our final note. Is there anyone you think we, myself and my listeners, should keep our eye on?”
Becky and Winter look at one another and then back to Opie. “Alexa Bliss. She’s someone that should have an eye kept on her. When she returned, she seemed like she lost a few steps. The first time I faced her, it felt like a night off because she wasn’t how she was before. The last time I faced her, she really brought it. I won, but she put up a hell of a fight. She gave me a great fight.”
“And that is why I said that she improved. It was not a backhanded compliment like some like to think. They were words of encouragement. She seems like she’s gained a step or two in the right direction, that she’s slowly but surely returning to form.”
“I look forward to the day that she does return to full form, because that would be a match fer the ages.”
“Well, that’s all the time that we have here. Becky, Winter. Thank you for joining me.”
“Thanks fer havin’ us.” Becky says as she and Winter stand up and walk out of the booth.

Scene 2: Autograph Session
Starring: Becky Lynch and Winter
The duo collectively known as Fire and Ice, the Cerebral Lassassin also known as Becky Lynch and the Devil better known as Winter are at their autograph signing during its closing moments. While one would expect the closing moments to have less and less people, such is not the case when it comes to Becky and Winter. In fact, with it being the closing moments of the autograph session, more and more people showed up.
The place was packed to the brim with people looking to get an autograph and a picture with the tremendously popular duo at the beginning of their autograph session. Now with it being the last few minutes, even more people are there looking for an autograph and a picture.
“This…” Becky says as she looks at Winter. “This is what makes it all worth it. To put a smile on the faces of these people. Men, women, non-binary, what people choose to identify as, children. To make them all happy with just a picture and an autograph, to make their day like that, it makes my day much better.”
“Yeah, I can see why you enjoy this so much. It can be very therapeutic. I feel invigorated by this. I feel invigorated by a glass of scotch, but this is a very acceptable alternative.” Winter says as she signs a picture of herself for a little girl.
As the little girl walks away, she can be heard. “Mommy? What’s scotch?”
The mother, perplexed by the question, looks at Winter, the latter of whom makes shifty eyes. Before Winter can answer truthfully and descriptively, the mother answers with “It’s a big people drink, honey.” The mother and daughter walk away.
The clock chimes and it is now six o’clock in the evening. An announcement is made over the PA System. “Ladies and gentlemen, it is now six o’clock and the autograph session is over. Thank you for joining us.”
The crowd lets a collective groan before Becky walks over to the booth where the PA System is and grabs a microphone. “No way. Everyone, stay put because me and Winter aren’t leavin’ until we sign all of yer autographs and take all of yer pictures.”
The crowd cheers as the Cerebral Lassassin makes her way back to her table and sits next to Winter. Winter looks at her and just smirks before nodding her head. “Well, looks like we got a long night.”
Becky looks at Winter with a grin and responds. “Yeah, and these people deserve it. They take the time and money to come see us, either at a show or an autograph session like this, so why not?” With that said, the duo of Fire and Ice continue to sign autographs and take pictures with each and every fan. Slowly, but surely, the area depletes. It is not until one-thirty in the morning that every person had an autograph signed or a picture taken or both.
As Becky and Winter are both about to leave and go to their penthouse at the Hilton Hotel, they notice a little girl and her mother at the door. The little girl is asleep in her stroller. “Can we help ya?”
“Yes. My daughter is a big fan of yours and we were looking to get autographs, but she’s asleep.” The mother says.
“I’ll tell ya what I’ll do.” Becky says as she grabs the remaining dual pack of action figures containing action figures of Winter and herself. Becky signs the side that her action figure is on and Winter signs the side that the Winter action figure is on before Becky hands it over to the weary mother. “I’ll give this to ya fer her.” The mother takes the pack of action figures and places it into her bag.
Becky and Winter turn and start to leave before they hear a small voice. “Becky, wait!” Becky and Winter stop in their tracks, and they turn around to see the groggy little girl. The two women approach the stroller and they lean down to come face to face with her. The little girl hugs the both of them and the mother quickly takes out her phone to take a picture.
Becky reaches into her pocket and pulls something out before putting it into the little girl’s pocket. The little releases Becky and Winter. “Get some sleep. It’s a big day tomorrow.” With that said, Becky and Winter walk away.
Meanwhile, the little girl reaches into her pocket and pulls out what Becky put into it. “What do you have?” The little girl looks at the tickets before handing them to her mother. The mother’s eyes widen and her jaw drops, dumbfounded. “Oh, my god. Front row tickets and backstage passes?” The little girl squeals.
While Becky and Winter walk away, they look at one another grin.

Scene 3: Locked Up
Starring: Becky Lynch
It is a mere three hours away from the pay per view extravaganza better known as Fanniversary, one of the biggest pay per views of the year. The importance of Fanniversary is comparable to that of WrestleMania. It is another show where the EBWF goes all out. Stars of the past and stars of the present all come out in order to serve the fanbase, to give the fans memories for good and ill.
Out of all of the stars in EBWF, none shines brighter than the Cerebral Lassassin better known as Becky Lynch. The arena will be packed with people that want to see Becky Lynch triumphantly regain what she won at WrestleMania, the EBWF Women’s Championship.
However, it will not be just a regular match. It will not even be a regular Hell in a Cell match. It will an I Quit match that will take place inside of the Hell in a Cell. Given her recent legal problems that prevented her from fighting Raquel Diaz at SummerSlam, one has to wonder if anything has changed from her short stint in jail. As was once said, jail changes you, but has it changed Becky Lynch? Is she the same person she was before her short time in jail? Has she become more feral? Has she become soft?
With the matches she’s had since she got out, one can say that she has changed, that she has become, that softness is antonymous to Becky Lynch. If anything, her short time in a cage has hardened her. One has to wonder if that will do her any good when comes to the I Quit Hell in a Cell match.
Yes, people are looking for good memories and the best memory that they can have is of Becky Lynch finally raising the Women’s Championship that she won at WrestleMania high above her head. Will tonight be a triumph for Becky Lynch and the EBWF fanbase as a whole or will it be a moment of tragedy as the paper champion, Raquel Diaz, worms her way to continuing the reign that she never earned?
The scene starts out with Becky Lynch standing in the middle of the ring. The ring is surrounded by the cage that is used for the Hell in a Cell and will be used in the I Quit match tonight. Becky looks around at the steel structure that is currently enclosed on the ringside area.
“Ya know, if I were anyone else, I’d be fearful when it comes to standin’ in the middle of this cage. But ever since my short time in jail, I’ve become more accustomed to bein’ locked in a cage. Bein’ locked in a cage like this changes ya. When yer locked in a cage like this, it’s when ya find out who ya truly are. In a cage, yer either broken beyond belief or ya fight to survive. With the brief stint I did in jail, I fought to survive. I fought to show that I run the cage just like I’ve been fightin’ to survive the last twenty two months and provin’ that I run this division.”
Becky slowly walks toward the hard camera. “And bein’ surrounded by four walls made of steel could make someone uncomfortable. It could make someone feel claustrophobic, but I’m not one of those people. When I stepped into this cage, it was more of a ‘Welcome home, Becky. Welcome to Hell. We’ve been expectin’ ya in this house of torture’ because no one tortures their enemies like me. When it comes to torture, I learned from the best. I learned from the Devil herself, Winter.”
“Fer months, ya’ve been runnin’ around with my property, Raquel. Ya paid off the referee at WrestleMania to declare ya the winner when I pinned Tam Nakano first. Ya keep tellin’ people, more so yerself, that I opened an account under yer real name and paid the referee with my own money. Ya know what? That was such a terrible lie that even yer own father, Eddie Guerrero, would shake his head at ya. That was a terrible lie especially fer a Guerrero. Ya enlisted Leva Bates to aid ya in stealin’ my belt because yer too much of a coward to fight me yerself.”
A sinister looking grin forms on the face of the Cerebral Lassassin as she approaches the door to the cage and grabs it. “But ya know what? When this door slams shut…” Becky slams the cage door shut. “And yer locked in here with me, yer goin’ to come to the realization that there’s no place to run and that there’s no place to hide, and I’ll have my vengeance. I’ll beat ya like a redheaded stepchild.”
Becky opens the door and steps out of the cage. “By all means, please try to escape this structure that I call ‘home.’ When you manage to worm yer way out, you’ll come to another realization…” Becky looks up at the roof of the twenty two foot high cage. “That there’s no place to go but up…” Becky says as she starts climbing up the side of the cage.
Once she reaches the roof, Becky pulls herself up onto it and stands up on the roof. “When ya get up here, I’ll be waitin’, Raquel. That’s when I’ll complete my vengeance by beatin’ ya, batterin’ ya, and bloodyin’ ya to the point that ya resemble Rocky Dennis. The pain will only stop when ya say the magic words… ‘I QUIT!’ If ya haven’t said those words by then…” Becky points to the hard camera side (aka the south side of the arena), the north side of the arena, the entrance side of the arena (the west side of the arena), and finally, the east side of the arena. “All I’ll have to do is wonder where yer landin’, because I have no problem with throwin’ ya off the structure that I call home. When I do, I’ll have taken sweet revenge, and yer goin’ to utter the words ‘I QUIT’!”
The Cerebral Lassassin sits Indian style on the roof of the Hell in a Cell and says these final words. “It’s been twenty two long hard months since I returned. I’ve had to deal with Trish Stratus winnin’ the Rumble in my place, Trish keepin’ me out of a title match after I beat the then-Champion, Natalya screwin’ me outta the title, not gettin’ a rematch because Natalya screwed me outta the title, yer winnin’ the Rumble in my place this year, yer bribin’ the referee to declare ya the winner, yer usin’ Leva Bates to steal my title, and now it comes to a head. To echo what I said earlier. There’s no place to run if ya could run, there’s no place to hide, there’s no Leva Bates to help ya, and there’s no officials to be bribed. Just Becky Lynch’s purgatory.”
