Chelsea didn’t win the Extra Lives Battle Royal, but she did make it to the final five securing her spot on the card! But before she could think about that and what it would mean for her career, Chelsea was in tag team action at EXP 31 teaming with Emily Sims to take on Kennedy Matthews and Jason Ryan! Chelsea had taken on Jason Ryan several times since she hit the mainstream and only failed to beat him once in a match that ended in a draw, can Chelsea’s team win?

So, how has your weekend been?
Mine started like any other, meeting with the band for rehearsals for upcoming shows, discussing porno ideas with Jade, training for my upcoming matches, all that fan stuff, but there was one big caveat, Sarah was graduating from her wrestling school that night and had requested that I go down to Vegas to be there, I had initially thought that I was going to be there for support since the school in question wasn’t that far from where I had trained all those years ago and several of my fellow graduates from that school were helping out since the regular trainers had taken some time off.
Well, I was half right at least! Because when me and Sarah showed up at Hero Academy she dropped a Bombshell, she wanted me to be her opponent for the graduation match which was essentially a five-minute test for the potential graduate against an experienced wrestler.
To make a long story short, Sarah lasted the full five minutes joining a nineteen-year-old wrestling prodigy from Australia called Cassie as the first two graduates from the school! And you’d think the drama would end there, right? Well, no, Sarah followed that up by asking me to marry her and I off course said yes!
We got back to Chicago this morning via Kayfabe Airlines after “celebrating” both occasions the night before, and if you want to know what I mean by celebrating, look up one of my porn videos! Preferably one that I’ve done with another woman for accuracy’s sake! Since then, we’ve been making sure that everything was in place at home before I called Liz and got her to gather my other sisters at her house so me and Sarah could tell them the news, as for my parents?
It'll be a cold day in hell before those assholes get invited to my wedding and luckily my sisters are in total agreement with me on that point!
”I just have one thing to ask before we head in.” I stated as I turned to my fiancé after pulling into Liz’s driveway, Liz was the one with the biggest house out of the four sisters, so it was an easy choice when it came to gathering my sisters. ”And as soon as I say that another thing pops into my head! How long had you been planning to ask me to marry you Sarah?”
”For a couple of months at least, but like I said, you were always away, either wrestling for EWC or another promotion or filming a porno, sometimes both.” Sarah explained and I nodded as I got the idea, my hands had gloves on them because it was a fairly cold day in Chicago but it did make keeping the secret until I was ready to reveal it to my sisters a lot easier. ”When you told me that you were going to be in Chicago for a while I took the chance, Keira telling me that I was ready for graduation just gave me the opportunity I needed.”
”Well, when you put it like that I can see why you were so eager to get in the ring with me! Just wish that I could change certain things about this.” I sighed as I glanced towards the sky and whilst it didn’t take Sarah long to realize what I meant, I still felt like I needed to say it. ”Like Justin being alive to see his baby sister get married!” I added, and Sarah placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
”Justin would be proud to see how far you’ve come Chelsea, never forget that.” Sarah assured me, and I grinned in response. ”What was the other thing that popped into your head?”
”Great, I got so side-tracked that I forgot what I was going to ask.” I sighed before I went to open the door. ”Let’s head in. I’m pretty sure we’re going to be here all day otherwise.”
”Right behind you.” Sarah responded before we got out of the car and went up to the front door, when I rung the doorbell Chloe was the one who answered the door and she off course was happy to see us before she led us into the living room where Liz and Toni were waiting for us. ”We understand that this is last minute, but Chelsea couldn’t wait to drop the news.”
“It’s fine, we weren’t doing that much anyway.” Toni responded as me and Sarah sat down opposite them ad Chloe sat next to Liz. “Besides, considering how busy Chelsea is most of the time? We weren’t about to miss a chance to sit down and chat.”
“Even if it’s probably nothing major, it’s not like you guys are getting married, right?” Chloe chimed in and me and Sarah shared a look before I went to remove the glove that was covering the hand with my engagement ring on it, Chloe was probably joking when said that but when she saw the ring on my finger? Yeah, her jaw dropped and so did Liz and Toni’s. “No way!”
”Sarah popped the question to me last night after she graduated from Hero Academy.” I explained with a massive grin on my face as Sarah showed off her engagement ring. ”I don’t think I need to say what my answer was!”
”Obviously we haven’t set the date yet, but we’ve already decided on Italy for our honeymoon.” Sarah continued as she shared a grin and I took a moment to study the reactions of my older sisters to this life altering news, they were obviously all joyed for me but in terms of hiding that fact it went from: Chloe, Toni and Liz in descending order. ”I think the fact that you guys are getting invites goes without saying, but Chelsea quickly realized that she should tell you guys before she went and posted about it on Twitter.”
“Yeah, if we had to find out about our baby sister getting married through her twitter account, we would’ve had words, let’s leave it at that.” Toni responded with a dry chuckle and whilst I knew she was joking I could honestly see that coming from Liz since she was the oldest of the four sisters and all that. “Even still, congrats Chelsea! I know you make a lot of money through your EWC contract but if you need any help with wedding expenses we’ll be happy to help.”
“Especially since it’s pretty clear to me that our parents won’t be invited.” Liz chimed in and it didn’t take me long to nod in agreement. “On that note, have you told your bandmates yet? Or Jade and her production company?”
”The fact that we came straight here after we came back from Las Vegas should answer that question for you honestly! And no, just because I’m getting married doesn’t mean I’m giving up porn, since I signed with the EWC it’s pretty much become a hobby for me anyway.” I admitted as I brushed some hair over my shoulder before an idea popped into my head. ”Speaking of my band………”
“You want to see if you can get them to play at the wedding?” Chloe asked with a sceptical look on her face which was shared by my older sisters. “Are you sure a Death Metal band would be appropriate? And you’re not playing your guitar at your own wedding!”
”There would be fill ins for me and Sarah on secondary lead and main vocals and besides, Taylor’s a professional guitar teacher when she isn’t playing in the band and Julian and Trent are both classically trained musicians with a love for metal, plus they would’ve learned the classics after picking up the guitar for the first time.” I pointed out and those facts actually gave my older sisters some pause, maybe I was breaking through to them. ”Julian actually has a really good classic rock style singing voice for whatever that’s worth.”
“We’ll think about it and discuss it with the extended family once word of your engagement gets out, you actually managed to talk me out of outright rejecting the idea so take that as a small victory.” Liz responded and once Chloe and Toni nodded in agreement with Liz I figured that was the best I was going to get at that moment. “Though now I’m picturing a bunch of hardcore metalheads doing the dance to “My Girl” by the Temptations!”
”I’m going to have to look that up later to help with that mental image!” I admitted sheepishly and after staying over for breakfast we were soon on our way, next stop? The band’s rehearsal space at Studio 11, both because we had a gig to rehearse for and because we needed to break the news to them.
As for Jade’s company? They were overseas scouting new talent and wouldn’t be back until the weekend was over and I’d prefer to tell them in person!
Studio 11, Chicago, Illinois
Saturday the 11th of September 2022, 13:00pm
Been a while since I was so nervous heading into a band practice, hell I think the last time I was this nervous was when we were rehearsing for Krawling Khaos’s debut show.
But it’s been over a year since then and now I’m nervous about telling my bandmates about me and Sarah’s engagement! Which is odd considering that I was nowhere near this nervous when I was getting ready to tell my older sisters and I’ve literally known Chloe, Liz and Toni my whole life! In the end me and Sarah opted to approach it like any other band practice and drop the bombshell in the middle of it and so far it’s gone well.
But it was high time that we told them and fittingly it was after we had rehearsed Swamp Witch Cult, the first ever song that we had played live as a band.
”So, before we continue with the band rehearsal, me and Sarah do have some news for you guys.” I stated after Taylor had finished the outro riff and me and my gir………fiancé (that’s going to take a while to get used to) turned to the rest of the band. ”it’s regarding our trip to Las Vegas yesterday.”
“Look, unless you filmed some more porn down there and may have gotten pregnant, we don’t care what you did Chelsea.” Julian responded jokingly and I shook my head with a slight chuckle. “Okay, what’s it about?”
”We told you guys about my graduation from Hero Academy, right?” Sarah asked, and the rest of the band nodded before we showed off our engagement rings. ”Well let’s just say that my graduation wasn’t the only life changing event that happened whilst we were in Vegas! I asked Chelsea to marry me after our graduation match, the fact that we’re both wearing engagement rings should tell you how it went.”
“Holy shit! No kidding?” Trent asked with a big grin on his face as he came out from behind the drumkit to get a better look at the engagement ring. “I’m guessing it’s too early for the wedding date to be set?”
”We literally just told my older sisters so yeah, it’s too early.” I explained, and the rest of the band nodded as they got the idea. ”And that’s not even the best part, I may have been able to sweet talk my family into letting Krawling Khaos be the wedding band, you guys are getting invites either way and there will be fill ins for me and Sarah for obvious reasons but at least this way you’d get a sweet payday out of it!”
“Guessing we’ll be sticking to the wedding classics like My Girl and not blasting out Church of the Red Harvest?” Taylor joked and whilst the mental image of a mosh pit happening at my wedding was funny, Taylor did have a point. “Either way we’ll be happy to come, after the crap you put up with when you were dating Ross you’ve earned some happiness Chelsea.”
”Ross, dealing with wrestling’s bullshit, depression, anxiety, Justin’s death and everything my parents said and did in the aftermath, my parents in general……..huh, do you think I could sue happiness for some serious backpay?” I asked half-jokingly and the rest of the band just shook their heads with a chuckle. ”Seriously though, I reckon we should celebrate with at least a few drinks once our rehearsal time’s up!”
“Sounds great to me!” Julian nodded in response before we resumed our practice launching into the title track from our second album Church of the Red Harvest.
The World’s End Camden, London, England
Thursday the 22nd of September 2022, 11:00am
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks since we made our engagement/plans to marry official.
The most drama that came out of it came from my family, remember I’m the black sheep of a family that mostly consists of Christians and fortunately the majority of them didn’t bat an eye when they found out that I was marrying another woman, the only ones who did were my parents and they kicked up such a fuss that they’ve pretty much been disowned by my whole family as a direct result, and after the crap they put me through growing up? Especially after Justin’s death?
Yeah, I’m not shedding any tears!
The least amount of drama came from when I finally got around to telling Jade and the rest of the crew that I film porn with! She was worried that I was going to be stepping back from porn because of the engagement but those fears were set aside when I pointed out that Sarah had done porn herself and I was still doing it whilst working for international companies like the EWC, other than that? She was happy for us, and we assured her that she and the rest of the cue were getting invites.
Will be interesting to see how the older members of me and Sarah’s family react to the company I keep, ESPECIALLY Renee!
Speaking of EWC, that’s the whole reason why I’m in England! I’m scheduled to compete in the EWC Rumble and I figured that it would be a good excuse to fly out early and check out London’s metal scene, the fact that I’m doing the same week as the Queen’s funeral has not been lost on me but the locals who didn’t recognize me for my wrestling work took me and Sarah to be a pair of American tourists, those who did recognize me as a wrestler both realized that I was here for the rumble and asked me for an autograph.
Gotta love fame sometimes.
”Okay, so as a venue The Black Heart isn’t great, unisex toilets cramped cubicles, the hole nine years of badness but at least the sound quality’s decent.” I commented as we checked off a venue of the list and looked at the others, this had been what we were doing all week long, just getting a feel for London’s metal scene by checking out the smaller venues. ”The Underworld is a place where wi-fi goes to die but they Fleshgod Apocalypse playing on the 2nd so it can’t be that bad of a venue.”
”If we’re not doing anything that weekend maybe we can check out that show? Not like you can’t afford to fly out here!” Sarah nodded in agreement as I took a sip from my drink. ”As far as Camden goes that just leaves larger venues like the Roundhouse and the 02 Forum Kentish Town, we still have Islington to check out though the main venue we’ve heard about from there is the 02 Academy Islington.”
”And from what I’ve googled, that’s a pretty big venue, and Battle Beast played there last Wednesday.” I commented whilst kicking myself for not flying out sooner and checking out that show, it was at that point that an idea popped into my head. ”What if I used my EWC earnings to organize a UK tour for Krawling Khaos? We have a lot of fans here in the UK I bet we could pack the Underworld.”
”We’d have to talk that out with Nadia and the rest of the band but I’m sure she can organize it and they’d definitely be down for it, what are you thinking for support acts? Local talent or fly out some other Chicago bands?” Sarah asked, and I had to think about that one, luckily it didn’t take me long to decide on a answer.
”I’m thinking local talent, I bet the UK scene has a lot of great bands that would jump at the opportunity!” I responded with a grin and before long we were talking about the logistics of such a tour, how hard can it be right?
Chelsea’s hotel room, London, England
Thursday the 22nd of August 2022, 12:30pm
*promo time*
This will be a fun warm up.
”If the fact that I managed to finish in the final five of the Extra Lives Battle Royal proved anything, it’s the fact that there’s nothing micro about my transactions!” After I dropped the title of the promo I face-palmed hard. ”Yes, that really was the best video game reference I could come up with for this promo, but the point is that thanks to my success in that Battle Royal means I’m getting a Courage Championship Contenders Match at Tri-Force Heroes! But before I get to that matchup I’ve got a warmup in my sights! See, this week at EXP 31 I’m teaming with Emily Sims to take on Jason Ryan and Kennedy Matthews in tag team action!”
This will be good.
”In other words, I’m teaming up with a woman who teamed up with me when my beef with Riley Heart started to take on a guy who’s only ever failed to beat me once and that was because of a mutual knockout and a gal who I’ve never faced before, I almost feel sorry for Kennedy because she’s getting dragged into this.” Dragged into what you ask? I’ll explain as I flip some hair over my shoulder. ”Dragged into the latest round of Jason Ryan being my personal punching bag that is!”
Seriously!
”How is it that we keep getting booked against each other Jason? We’ve faced each other fuck knows how many times over the past year and as I just said, the only time you failed to beat me in a wrestling match was that one time where we knocked each other out!” This is getting ridiculous, but I persisted on as I folded my arms. ”What’s your deal Jason? Do you have a fetish for being beat up by petite girls whilst a bunch of people watch? I’m not here to kink shame, I’m just wondering why you keep signing up for matches against me when you’ve won exactly zero of them! And will it be different this time around? Only if you mean different as in “this match will have a decisive winner” and that decisive winner will be me!”
And as for Kennedy?
”Okay, to be honest? When I sat down to cut this promo I didn’t realize that I was emanating from Kennedy’s hometown of London, England, well I did but I mean that I didn’t realize it was her hometown!” Anyway, let’s move on as I shake my head. ”it’s a coincidence before anyone asks! I’m in London for my next EWC show and I figured I may as well as well get the promo done whilst I’m here! Anyway, Kennedy is a relative newcomer to Level Up but by no means does that mean I’m going easy on her, I mean I’m not going easy on Jason “Chelsea Skye’s personal punching bag” Ryan so what makes you think I’m going easy on the Brit that he’s teaming with? Exactly! And aside from that, we’re the same height, you’re a little heavier than me and you wrestle a technical style, if nothing else Kennedy that means that we’ll be an interesting matchup if we ever square off in this match!”
It's that simple.
”If it sounds like I’m looking past this matchup, it’s because I am! I’ve got a much bigger match at Tri-Force Heroes in my sights and Jason and Kennedy, ESPECIALLY Jason, are basically a bump in the road to that destination!” Large, human shaped bumps in the road but bumps in the road nonetheless as I rolled my eyes. ”Sooner or later the higher ups will tire of pairing me with Jason in any capacity because it’s been repeatedly proven that a guy who is much bigger and taller than me can’t hang with a petite girl who happens to be a former Olympic Level Gymnast, sad, isn’t it?”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
”But not as sad as this fact being the only thing Jason Ryan’s career is remembered for in the years to come! Kennedy just happens to be the latest schmuck that the bosses sweet-talked into trying to carry the dead weight that is Jason Ryan to a win!” I added as I looked at my nails playfully. ”Key word there is try because “The Nightmare Angel” Chelsea Skye is getting tired of humiliating the same guy over and over and he’ll never learn better! And as you two watch the Skyes above I’ll happily show him why the Skyes the Limit for the millionth time!”
I left the hotel room as the scene fades.

”And from what I’ve googled, that’s a pretty big venue, and Battle Beast played there last Wednesday.” I commented whilst kicking myself for not flying out sooner and checking out that show, it was at that point that an idea popped into my head. ”What if I used my EWC earnings to organize a UK tour for Krawling Khaos? We have a lot of fans here in the UK I bet we could pack the Underworld.”
”We’d have to talk that out with Nadia and the rest of the band but I’m sure she can organize it and they’d definitely be down for it, what are you thinking for support acts? Local talent or fly out some other Chicago bands?” Sarah asked, and I had to think about that one, luckily it didn’t take me long to decide on a answer.
”I’m thinking local talent, I bet the UK scene has a lot of great bands that would jump at the opportunity!” I responded with a grin and before long we were talking about the logistics of such a tour, how hard can it be right?

*promo time*
This will be a fun warm up.
”If the fact that I managed to finish in the final five of the Extra Lives Battle Royal proved anything, it’s the fact that there’s nothing micro about my transactions!” After I dropped the title of the promo I face-palmed hard. ”Yes, that really was the best video game reference I could come up with for this promo, but the point is that thanks to my success in that Battle Royal means I’m getting a Courage Championship Contenders Match at Tri-Force Heroes! But before I get to that matchup I’ve got a warmup in my sights! See, this week at EXP 31 I’m teaming with Emily Sims to take on Jason Ryan and Kennedy Matthews in tag team action!”
This will be good.
”In other words, I’m teaming up with a woman who teamed up with me when my beef with Riley Heart started to take on a guy who’s only ever failed to beat me once and that was because of a mutual knockout and a gal who I’ve never faced before, I almost feel sorry for Kennedy because she’s getting dragged into this.” Dragged into what you ask? I’ll explain as I flip some hair over my shoulder. ”Dragged into the latest round of Jason Ryan being my personal punching bag that is!”
Seriously!
”How is it that we keep getting booked against each other Jason? We’ve faced each other fuck knows how many times over the past year and as I just said, the only time you failed to beat me in a wrestling match was that one time where we knocked each other out!” This is getting ridiculous, but I persisted on as I folded my arms. ”What’s your deal Jason? Do you have a fetish for being beat up by petite girls whilst a bunch of people watch? I’m not here to kink shame, I’m just wondering why you keep signing up for matches against me when you’ve won exactly zero of them! And will it be different this time around? Only if you mean different as in “this match will have a decisive winner” and that decisive winner will be me!”
And as for Kennedy?
”Okay, to be honest? When I sat down to cut this promo I didn’t realize that I was emanating from Kennedy’s hometown of London, England, well I did but I mean that I didn’t realize it was her hometown!” Anyway, let’s move on as I shake my head. ”it’s a coincidence before anyone asks! I’m in London for my next EWC show and I figured I may as well as well get the promo done whilst I’m here! Anyway, Kennedy is a relative newcomer to Level Up but by no means does that mean I’m going easy on her, I mean I’m not going easy on Jason “Chelsea Skye’s personal punching bag” Ryan so what makes you think I’m going easy on the Brit that he’s teaming with? Exactly! And aside from that, we’re the same height, you’re a little heavier than me and you wrestle a technical style, if nothing else Kennedy that means that we’ll be an interesting matchup if we ever square off in this match!”
It's that simple.
”If it sounds like I’m looking past this matchup, it’s because I am! I’ve got a much bigger match at Tri-Force Heroes in my sights and Jason and Kennedy, ESPECIALLY Jason, are basically a bump in the road to that destination!” Large, human shaped bumps in the road but bumps in the road nonetheless as I rolled my eyes. ”Sooner or later the higher ups will tire of pairing me with Jason in any capacity because it’s been repeatedly proven that a guy who is much bigger and taller than me can’t hang with a petite girl who happens to be a former Olympic Level Gymnast, sad, isn’t it?”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
”But not as sad as this fact being the only thing Jason Ryan’s career is remembered for in the years to come! Kennedy just happens to be the latest schmuck that the bosses sweet-talked into trying to carry the dead weight that is Jason Ryan to a win!” I added as I looked at my nails playfully. ”Key word there is try because “The Nightmare Angel” Chelsea Skye is getting tired of humiliating the same guy over and over and he’ll never learn better! And as you two watch the Skyes above I’ll happily show him why the Skyes the Limit for the millionth time!”
I left the hotel room as the scene fades.
