Off Camera
South Beach, Miami, Florida
Ever since the end of last year things have been great within the Zdunich household. Not only was Crystal and Seleana’s relationship stronger than it had ever been but Crystal really felt like she was at the top of the wrestling world. She was the Splat Multiverse Champion, she had just become the Sin City Roulette Champion, and it wouldn’t be long until she would be defending her ECWF World Women’s Championship. Things would be picking up even more as she had just become the number one contender for the Uprising Silver State Champion and she would be competing for the TIA World Women’s Championship in a month. The Zdunichs were in town for ECWF’s World War Pay Per View. Crystal smiled as she walked side by side next to her Swedish wife as the two of them took in the sights of South Beach. Crystal held the ECWF Women’s Championship over her shoulder as she giggled at her wife.
Crystal: Isn’t life great my dear?! I really can’t believe that my wrestling career is going in the way that it’s going. I really feel like I am achieving all of my dreams. It’s all been amazing but I doubt any of this would have been possible without you at my side. You are my rock and I am happy that we will be able to celebrate five years of marriage together. I love you so much my little Swedish fishy.
Seleana smiles back at her wife.
Seleana: Ja? Jag älskar dig också!
Crystal smiles as she leans over and kisses her wife on the lips and as soon as she does the wrestling couple is treated to flashes from multiple cameras. The paparazzi seem to be taken photo after photo of the couple as Crystal continues to grin.
Crystal: I can’t picture how life would be without you in it. You complete me and I know that it is hard for me to share my feelings a lot. However one thing I can say is that these five years have been some of the very best of my entire life. I know I put you in bad situations often but the real me doesn’t want to push you away. I always want you at the hip. You are my spouse, my life partner, and are definitely my better half. I just wanted to talk you up a bit because you deserve it.
Seleana: You should not worry so much. You are not going to be abandoned at the first hint of bad. You are better than you think at things.
Crystal nods her head as she keeps her eyes on her wife.
Crystal: That might be true but sometimes I don’t think I am. Those situations have always been bad. It all started when I cheated on you with Alexandra. You could have walked away from our marriage and everything right there but you didn’t. You stayed the course. On top of that whenever I mess up or have an emotional outburst it doesn’t seem to bother you. You just keep smiling and are able to keep the faith. I don’t know how you do it or how you even get the strength to be you.
Crystal shakes her head with a sigh.
Crystal: I am grateful that I can wrestle and I have so many individual accomplishments but part of me feels like I lied to you. I promised that we would have success together. I vowed that we would actually become a tag team together and that the Hollywood Angels would fly together. I still haven’t teamed up with you yet like I want for us to do. I just want to really make things up to you. I want you by my side for every step of the way. I want you to always be my manager but in return I want to see you accomplish the things you want. You are an amazing mother to Aurora and I know she wants to see you holding gold at some point.
Seleana: Things will work out, ja? Though, I am keen to team with you sometimes!
Crystal nods her head at Seleana in return.
Crystal: That’s what I really want for you as well.
Crystal looks at her ECWF Championship as she cracks a grin.
Crystal: This title has helped revitalize my career this year. It has helped me establish a confidence that hasn’t gone away. I feel as great as I ever have been and the title wins just keep stacking up. I keep on bringing stability to my career but more importantly I feel like I am bringing great stability to our marriage. If we are partners in life we certainly can be partners within the ring. I know deep down that is what you really want. I see us having tag team gold and being able to dominate that scene together. After all, I doubt anybody would ever stop us together right?!
Seleana: Ja!
Crystal looks at their surroundings as the two of them walk in the direction of the beach.
Crystal: Isn’t all of this great?! I mean we are going to have a meet and greet on the beach. The fame, and the fortune is certainly a nice touch, but the true prize is having you right by my side. I feel nervous about having to defend my championship. I have been champion here for the majority of the last year or so but I feel nervous about this match. I need to win this match to go on to defend this title in the biggest shows of the year. However if I do win and somehow Dawn or Kate wins this rumble match. I would have to step into the ring with one of them.
Crystal shrugs her shoulders.
Crystal: I don’t know how I would feel about having to face the Godmother of our child or even the woman that you are training. I feel there would be alot of pressure going into a match such as that.
Seleana: I would just hope none of you get injured.
Crystal: I wouldn’t hope for that either but you know how I wrestle babe and you know how much I am willing to put my entire all into making sure I accomplish what I need to do. I don’t wish any injuries on anybody but at the end of the day I have to do whatever it takes to defend the title.
Crystal grins as she looks right at Seleana.
Crystal: The same way that you did whatever it took to win in your match against me. I still remember that right hand, and you made me cry out in submission from your move. Perhaps I should be excited because the thought of fighting somebody who you personally trained is something that could be amusing. You know I wouldn’t hold back.
Seleana nods knowingly.
Seleana: Ja… I do.
Crystal: Good… Anyway how often is it that we get to enjoy beautiful Miami Florida together?! Aurora is with Alexandra and we have these next two days to ourselves. Besides this meet and greet, and of course me defending my championship. Why don’t you give me a good reason that I should go out there and successfully defend my championship.
Crystal’s eyes open up.
Crystal: I mean you laid out on the beach getting a tan in a bikini sounds amazing but also I think the two of us should rent a cabana. That way the two of us could… Well….
Crystal smiles.
Crystal: I think we need it.
Seleana: Ja?
Crystal: Ja… We make noise and get complaints like on cruise si?
Seleana smirks playfully, almost puring her next word.
Seleana: ¡Sí!
Crystal chuckles as she grabs Seleana by the hand.
Crystal: That’s what I like to hear. Let’s go babe. Let’s get this meet and greet out of the way so that we can get to what we really want to do. I have a great feeling it’s going to be a really great time out here on South Beach.
With that the two of them head towards the beach to take care of whatever obligations they have planned. With that we slowly fade out on the smile of Crystal Zdunich.

The cameras come into focus and we are able to see Crystal Zdunich on the beach in Miami Florida. She holds the World Women’s Championship over a shoulder as she is clad in a bikini. She runs her hands through her long blue hair as she begins to speak.
“Good evening to all of my precious stars and starlets out there. I know all of you know who I am but if you don’t I will be happy to tell you exactly who I am and what I bring to the table. My name is Crystal Zdunich and I am your World Women’s Champion. I have been champion for the better part of the past two years and I have taken down every challenger that has risen up against me. Even when I wasn’t at my best and I was in a situation when I lost the title I was quick to avenge that lost and I put the title back where it belonged, that being right around my waist and my shoulder. I am the epitome of a fighting champion.
Whoever tries to challenge me for this title I quickly answer the call and I bring out the best wrestling that I possibly can. I guess you can say that I have helped elevate the women’s division in ECWF. Yet as much as I have been quite the champion and as much as I poured into this company I feel like I am not cherished like I should be. It just seems like people don’t respect me and nobody is taking me seriously like they should have.
What more do I have to prove that I am the best of the best?! I have beaten Latoya, I have beaten Claire, I have beaten Marina, and lord knows I have had JJ’s number on numerous occasions. I have taken out the very best and I don’t plan to stop. Not now and certainly not ever. Now it seems like I have somebody else that will be standing in front of me because at World War Four I will be defending my Women’s World Championship against the next Women’s World Contender. I will be in the ring against Roxanne.”
Crystal smirks as she nods her head and claps her hands.
“Can we just take this moment to give Roxanne a round of applause because she has earned her way into getting this big title opportunity? For starters she came into this company by beating my wife’s protégé Dawn Warren a long time ago. She made quick work of her and has since worked her way up the ladder to eventually get into this match with me. A few weeks ago she has managed to beat Sarah Frost and now she has the chance of a lifetime. She can accomplish all of her dreams and fantasies in one single match.
If she beats me she will be a World Champion. Everything that she has worked so hard for she will have accomplished and it will be a dream come true. It all sounds very surreal and honestly you should be very proud of yourself Roxanne. You earned this and it’s always a good thing. Let’s not get too carried away though because winning a chance to be here is one thing but actually managing to get the job done is a different beast altogether. After all you only beat Sarah to get here and I have nothing against her but let’s be honest. Sarah is a woman that most people seem to beat. So it was clear cut that you were in fact going to be the woman that would meet me next.
If you ask me I think you are foolish for giving up your chance to be in the Wartime rumble. You are putting all of your eggs in the basket of beating me and that’s not necessarily going to happen. You are only what 22 years old right now?! It’s crazy to think that I have a daughter that will be turning 22 this year but I guess that all comes with the territory of me having a child when I was basically a child.
You are still very green behind the ears and I have over seventeen years of experience of being in this business. Seventeen years ago I was in my father’s gym in Mexico perfecting my craft of being a wrestler. I would say that it has definitely led me to a lot of success and I stand before you as a woman who has held over 21 World Championships. Hell it’s crazy that I have one less world championship than years that you have experienced on this Earth.
I am not saying that you aren’t good or anything like that but I have an experience factor and I personally think that I am going to be too much for you to handle. You are merely just a kid and I am a woman who is a star. I bring all of the star power and I am not going to let this star burn out just because you feel like you are in a good position right now.
What makes you think that you have any chance of stepping into this ring and beating me?! Winning one match won’t give you the momentum that you need. I bring all of the energy and I am definitely the best women’s wrestler in this company.
If I had my way I would finally get the respect that I deserve. This company would put me in the ring with Heather Haze and with Nakita so that I can prove it to the entire world. I feel like I am still chasing after trying to be the best because they haven’t given me the matches that I wanted yet. Until I get what I want I feel like I just have to keep plowing through all of these people who don’t really deserve to be in the ring with me to prove a point.
It’s nothing personal Roxanne… Trust me when I say this is nothing but business. I feel like I am kept in a box and I am hell bent on trying to fight Nakita. I am desperate to fight Heather because that’s the match that I really want. You need to improve a bit before you are truly ready to be in the ring with me. I am building myself up to be one of the best wrestlers in the world.”
Crystal grins as she holds her World Championship and holds it high into the air.
“I am not just standing before you as the ECWF World Women’s Champion but I am also the Splat Multiverse Champion and am also the SCW Roulette Champion. Whatever I touch turns into gold and it is apparent by all of the titles that I have around my waist. ECWF is no different and I will continue to raise the bar and integrity of this Women’s division. I will do so by remaining as champion which in turn strengthens the level of competition in this company.
Another reason why I doubt you will stand a chance to beat me is because the two of us are scheduled to fight at World War 4. It was at this very event when I got my huge break in ECWF. I stood in the ring with 19 other women and I emerged as the winner of the Wartime Rumble. I also am a woman who has held the World Women’s Championship on two separate occasions. Some women don’t even become World Champions but I managed to do it twice already.
I have been built and primed to be in the spotlight and I am not ready to depart from that moment just yet. On top of that holding this title and getting past this event is part of the only way for me to have a big match at the biggest Pay Per View of the year so losing is definitely not on the table at this moment. So that is why I need to break through and keep on being a dominant champion.
Some day you might be a World Champion and I will cheer for you when you realize your dreams and you have that storybook ending, but on the night of World War 4 the Age of Fall will not be crowning a Women’s World Champion. You will not be taking my title. I will still be a champion and my ticket will be punched to going onward to defend my title against whoever might win this rumble.
Through the thick and the thin nobody, and I mean nobody will ever cause this rose to wither away. I am the burning rose and I am ready to set the entire world on fire… Flame on!!! I wish you the best of luck because you certainly will need it. When I burned everything up and the smoke clears you will see me standing tall with the championship raised high above my head. You will hear the announcer screaming AND STILL CHAMPION… It will be at that moment that you will know that I truly am the best of the best. Lights Camera Actions…
It’s showtime… It’s time I keep doing what I do, and showcasing that I am the best women’s wrestler in this company today.”
With that being said Crystal raises her championship high into the air as we slowly fade out on this image.
