As Todrick Tabor-Ramsey navigated through the aisles of the party supply store, her phone notifications began to light up incessantly. Glancing at the screen, she saw the announcement of her upcoming match against Stitches, accompanied by Pogo The Clown. The internet was already abuzz with theories and comments, some supportive, others less so.
Amidst the colorful balloons and party decorations, Todrick decided to address her fans and detractors alike. She found a quiet corner of the store, set up her phone, and went live on Instagram.
"Hey Rockstars! It’s ya girl Todrick," she began, her voice calm and composed. "I've seen the announcements and your comments about my upcoming match against Stitches, and I wanted to take a moment to talk about it."
She paused, choosing her words carefully. "First off, I want to say that I'm honored to step into the ring with Stitches. He's a formidable opponent, with a unique style that commands respect. This isn’t about underestimating him or taking the match lightly. Every competitor in the WGWF deserves respect, and Stitches is no exception."
Todrick scanned through some of the comments coming in live, acknowledging both the positive and negative remarks. "I see some of you think this match is the WGWF ‘feeding’ me to Stitches, or mocking me by having me face a clown because they think I am a clown. Let’s set the record straight, in wrestling, as in life, you face challenges head-on, no matter the form they take. Stitches is a legitimate competitor, and I’m preparing for this match just as seriously as any other."
Her expression turned reflective. "I’ve had a tough run lately, no denying that. My match with Mac Bane didn’t go as I’d hoped. But let me remind everyone – he had to cheat to win. He had his feet on the ropes, and still, it was a close call. That's not something I’m embarrassed or ashamed of. That's a testament to my resilience and skill."
Continuing her live session, Todrick delved deeper into her recent match with Mac Bane, addressing the speculation and commentary that had been circulating.
“You know, there's been a lot of talk about my match with Mac Bane," Todrick said, her tone becoming more introspective. "I’ve read the comments and heard the whispers. Some say I was outmatched, but let me tell you something, I took Mac Bane to his absolute limits. He threw everything he had at me, and still, he couldn’t put me down without resorting to underhanded tactics.”
She paused, letting the weight of her words sink in. “That match, it wasn’t just a physical battle; it was a testament to my will, my resilience. Sure, the record books might show a loss, but anyone who watched that match knows the real story. I pushed Mac Bane like he’s rarely been pushed before. Every move, every counter, I was right there, matching him step for step.”
Her expression hardened slightly, a mix of pride and defiance shining in her eyes. “I stood toe-to-toe with one of the best in the WGWF, and I did it on my terms. I showed Mac Bane, and everyone watching, that Todrick Tabor-Ramsey is not someone to be underestimated. He may have won the match, but he had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to do it. Feet on the ropes? That's not victory; that's desperation.”
Todrick’s gaze shifted, speaking directly to her fans and critics alike. “So, for those wondering if I can bounce back, if I can face Stitches and come out on top, don’t doubt me. I’ve faced giants before and stood tall. Mac Bane was a challenge, but he was also a lesson. A lesson in persistence, in never backing down, no matter the odds.”
She leaned in closer to the camera, her voice laced with unwavering confidence. “Facing Stitches, it’s another chapter, another chance to prove myself. And I’m ready for it. I’m ready to step into that ring and show the world that a setback is just a setup for a comeback. Mac Bane may have had his moment, but now it’s my time. It’s time for Todrick Tabor-Ramsey to remind everyone why I am and always will be a force to be reckoned with in the WGWF.”
The comments and reactions continued to pour in, a mix of support and skepticism. Todrick addressed them with grace and poise.
"This match against Stitches, it's an opportunity for me to regain momentum as we head into the new year. It's a chance to prove that no matter the setbacks, I am and always will be a main event talent. My recent matches, they’ve been against top-tier opponents, and I’ve held my own every time."
She leaned closer to the camera, her gaze firm. "To those who doubt me, who think this is a step down, I say watch closely. I’m stepping into that ring with one goal, to win. Not just for the sake of victory, but to show that I’m a fighter, through and through. Facing Stitches, it’s not a setback; it’s a challenge, and I embrace it wholeheartedly."
Todrick's confidence was unshakable, her determination clear in her voice. "I’m going into this match with my head held high and my focus sharp. Stitches is stepping into the ring with a main event girl, with someone who’s faced the best and still stood tall. So, let’s put the theories and the rumors to rest. This is about competition, about the sport we all love. And I'm here to compete, to entertain, and to win."
As she wrapped up her live session, the reactions from her fans were coming in left and right, her Rockstars showing up in droves, their respect and admiration for her evident in their comments.
"Thanks for tuning in, everyone. I’ll see you all at Monday Night Brawl. It’s going to be a match to remember. This is “The Cutie With The Booty”, Todrick Tabor-Ramsey, signing off."
As Todrick ended the live session, the comments and reactions were overwhelmingly positive, a testament to the respect and admiration her fans had for her. She had addressed the critics, shared her perspective, and set the stage for her upcoming match. Turning off the camera, Todrick felt a renewed sense of focus and determination. She was ready to face Stitches, ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead, in the ring and beyond.
As Todrick pulled into the garage, Austin was there to meet her, taking the bags from her hands with a supportive smile. The atmosphere at home was a mix of the usual family dynamics and the lingering tension from an earlier incident involving the twins, particularly Dominic.
As she walked past Dominic, the little one turned away, still upset from their recent disagreement. Todrick couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt mixed with frustration. Dominic had been quite the handful lately, his latest mischief involving unlabeled cans strewn across the pantry floor. Despite her irritation, she knew that reacting with anger wouldn’t resolve the situation. “Dominic, I love you, but you’re still in trouble,” she said firmly, passing by him.
From behind, Daniel entered, barely containing a grin at his younger brother’s predicament. “Looks like someone’s still in the doghouse,” he commented, not missing a beat.
Austin, ever the peacekeeper, shook his head at the family dynamics unfolding and set down the party supplies. He then gently took Todrick’s hand, leading her upstairs to the privacy of their bedroom, away from the family commotion.
Once inside, Austin turned to Todrick, his expression softening. “I watched your live stream earlier,” he began. “You handled everything with such dignity and grace. Addressing the fans, the critics, talking about the match with Mac Bane and your upcoming challenge... It was impressive, Toddy.”
Todrick sighed, a mix of relief and appreciation washing over her. “Thanks, Austin. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, with the match and everything at home. I just want to set the right example, in and out of the ring, especially for the kids.”
Austin wrapped his arms around her, offering a comforting embrace. “And you are. You’re an incredible wrestler, an amazing mom, and the best partner I could ask for. Dominic’s little rebellion, it’s just a phase. We’ll get through it, like we do everything else…together.”
He pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes. “As for Monday Night Brawl, I have no doubt you’re going to do great. You’ve got the skill, the determination, and the heart of a champion. Mac Bane, Stitches, whoever it is, they don’t stand a chance against you.”
Todrick smiled, leaning into his embrace. “Thank you, Austin. That means the world to me. I’ll go into that match with everything I’ve got. And as for Dominic, well, we’ll navigate that too. One day at a time, right?”
Austin nodded, kissing her forehead. “One day at a time. Together.”
As they stood there, wrapped in each other’s arms, the challenges of wrestling and parenthood seemed a little less daunting. With Austin’s support and belief in her, Todrick felt ready to face whatever Monday Night Brawl would bring. They were a team, in every sense of the word, and together, they were unstoppable.
