DISCLAIMER: I do not know any of these people in real life. This is just a story that my horny brain came up with.

The AEW crowd roared as I stood in the corner, watching Matt Hardy soak in the cheers. He had his arm slung over Isiah Kassidy's shoulder, hyping us up before our match against The Acclaimed and Billy Gunn for the AEW Trios Championships. Hardy's enthusiasm was palpable, but I could feel the weight of it--his words about loyalty, his self-congratulatory tone.
"This is it, boys!" he said, grinning like we were some wholesome feel-good team. "Tonight, we bring those Trios Championships home!"
I didn't even bother hiding my smirk as I adjusted my wrist tape. Kassidy stayed quiet, his face unreadable. I didn't blame him. He had been carrying Hardy's baggage for far too long. It was time for us to make some noise.
_______________________________________________________________
The bell rang, and it was chaos right from the start. Kassidy's high-flying offense had the crowd on their feet as he tangled with Anthony Bowens. Matt and Billy pulled out all their veteran tricks against each other, while I dismantled Max Caster with strikes.
But every time Matt called for a tag, I ignored him. I had a point to prove, and I wasn't about to let him hog the spotlight. The frustration in his voice was almost funny. Kassidy hesitated a few times too, leaving Hardy to take hits he shouldn't have.
When it came down to the finish, Hardy was in the ring with Billy. He hit the Twist of Fate and motioned for Kassidy to help him close it out.
"Come on, Isiah!" Matt shouted, desperation creeping into his voice. I watched as Kassidy stepped into the ring, his hesitation turning into resolve. And then it happened.
A superkick. Kassidy's boot cracked against Hardy's jaw, and the look of betrayal on his face was priceless. The crowd erupted in shock, but I wasn't done. I slid into the ring, delivering my Wolf's Fang knee strike straight to Matt's skull. He dropped like a sack of bricks.
Zay and I didn't stick around to watch the fallout. We left the ring and walked up the ramp as the crowd booed us out of the building. Behind us, Billy hit the Fame-Ass-Er and pinned Matt for the win. But that didn't matter; the world had just witnessed something much bigger.

Wednesday came fast. Standing in the center of the ring with Kassidy by my side, I soaked in the sea of boos surrounding us. It was beautiful, really. The sound of betrayal, of shattered expectations.
I slowly raised the mic to my lips, grinning wide. "Last Saturday, y'all witnessed the end of an era--and the beginning of a revolution."
The crowd's jeers grew louder, but I didn't care. "For too long, Isiah Kassidy was trapped in old ass Matt Hardy's shadow. For too long, he played the role of the loyal sidekick while Matt basked in his spotlight."
I passed the mic to Zay, and he didn't hesitate. "Matt Hardy told me to believe in loyalty. To believe in him. But what has loyalty gotten me? A career defined by carrying Matt's legacy instead of building my own. Zion showed me the truth: to break free, you have to drop the dead weight that's holding you back. And Matt Hardy? You are the epitome of dead weight."
I leaned into the mic, my voice dripping with arrogance. "Matt, your story is over. This is our time now. The pack doesn't wait for the weak to catch up. The pack moves forward."
The boos were deafening, but I smiled wide. This was only the beginning.

A few days had passed since we solidified our heel turn. The energy was electric in the convention center I found myself in, completing my contractual duties at a meet and greet. I sat at my booth, signing merch and taking photos with fans, basking in the mixture of cheers and boos I'd earned after betraying Matt Hardy.
To the left of me was Ruby Soho, who had a bright smile that contrasted her grungy, punk rock aesthetic; to my right, was Saraya, a modern day icon and trailblazer for women's wrestling. Together, they were The Outcasts, a heel tag team that were in a prominent position on the card.
As the meet and greet continued, I couldn't help but steal glances at Saraya. She was wearing just a thin, black tank top that struggled to contain her large, pale breasts and some faded black jeans. Saraya peeped my not-so subtle glances and smoked slyly at me, almost daring me to say something.
When there was a break in the crowd, I leaned back casually and said, "You know, Saraya, I've got to admit--your energy in the ring is electric. But out of the ring? Even more impressive."
Saraya raised an eyebrow, her smirk growing into a full smile. "Oh, is that so, Wolfie? Trying to butter me up?"
"Not trying," I replied, my tone confident. "Just simply stating facts."
Ruby, sitting nearby, rolled her eyes but giggled. "Someone's laying it on thick," she said.
Saraya chuckled, ignoring Ruby's comment. "Well, I've been told I'm quite the distraction. But you're going to have to work harder than that if you want to impress me, Wolfie."
"Trust me, I never back down from a challenge," I said, locking eyes with her.
Our chemistry was undeniable, and Ruby watched the exchange with an amused shake of her head. "You two are ridiculous," she muttered, before returning her focus to signing merch for a fan.

The line of fans began to dwindle to a trickle as the meet-and-greet came to a close. I leaned back in my chair, stretching my arms as Saraya caught my eye again. Her smirk had only gotten sharper throughout the day.
"So, Wolfie," she said, tilting her head and giving me a playful once-over, "is all of this charm just for the fans, or do you save some of it for after hours?"
I grinned, meeting her gaze without hesitation. "Well, Saraya, I don't like to play favorites...but I can make an exception for you."
Ruby, sitting a few feet away, groaned with exaggerated annoyance. "Oh, here we go. You two have been eyeing each other all day. Just get it over with already."
Saraya laughed, her eyes sparkling as she leaned closer to me. "You're bold, Zion. I like that. But boldness only gets you so far."
"Good thing I've got more than just boldness," I shot back. "Why don't you let me prove it?"
