Inside of the new NGW Training Facility, Austen Blackwell is working with one of the trainers. He runs the ropes, and hits a spinning heel kick. Immediately, he kips up and heads for the ropes.
Austen: Here we go!
He leaps off and the trainer moves, as Austen lands awkwardly onto his foot as his knee buckles.
Austen: Shiiii-
Austen does not finish the word as he grabs his knee and falls to his back. Mercedes had been watching, as she quickly gets up, to rush over to the ring.
Mercedes: Austen, are you alright?
He looks to be in pain clutching his knee as the trainer hurries over to check it out. She goes to climb in so she could check it too.
Mercedes: Is it alright? He’s not hurt again is he?
Austen: Let me up. Let me up.
The trainer tries to help him up.
Trainer: Be careful. Don’t want to re-injure it.
Austen: LET ME UP!
Austen shows some anger as he did not want to allow himself to get hurt again.
Mercedes: Austen let him help you. He needs to check it out.
Mercedes goes to move closer so she can try to get him to stop. Austen tries to fight it off.
Austen: I am fine!
He slowly hobbles around the ring a bit.
Austen: See? I am not getting hurt again.
His leg buckles and he falls again to the mat.
Mercedes rushes over to his side, as she gets down beside him.
Mercedes: Austen damn it, as your boss I am saying have them check out your knee.
She looks at him, as she was trying to be stern.
Austen: Fine!
He pushes on his hands and sits on the ring, extending his leg out. The trainer comes over to check on his leg and knee. He works it out, extending it. Pulling it back, and extending it again. Austen cringes some.
Trainer: Well it looks like he just came down wrong on it. Perhaps over-exerting it. Or hyper-extending it. Take the rest of the day off. See how it feels tomorrow.
Austen: Tomorrow? No. I need to train more, today!
Mercedes looks at him, as she does not look happy.
Mercedes: Austen do not make me pull the boss card again. You will be fine if you don’t train the rest of today. Rest your knee.
He says nothing as he scoots off onto the ring apron. He grabs his water bottle and throws it in frustration. There was obviously more going on in his head, and the trainer did not know what to say. Mercedes slides out, as she walks over to him. She looks at him.
Mercedes: Babe talk to me. What’s wrong?
Austen: I am so…
He yells out in frustration.
Austen: I just keep losing. Now this? Hopefully I am fine for Unscripted…
Mercedes: Do what the trainer said, and you should be. Just relax, and let things happen. You will get a win, just need patience.
Austen looks over to her.
Austen: Mercedes. Can you take the boss suit off for a second and be my girl?
He lowers his head.
Mercedes: Austen I am saying that as your girl….
She looks at him as she frowns.
Austen: It is just so frustrating. You keep thinking I will win. Or have a breakout match. And I haven’t. I’ve been topped time after time after time.
Mercedes: Austen, it will happen. I know it will. I have seen others who hardly could win, than bam they got that one win, and kept winning. It may not happen right away, but it will. You need to believe it, need to have that confidence as well.
He nods his head.
Austen: Yeah. But who’s to say this is the right path for me?
She moves a hand to his heart.
Mercedes: Listen to what your heart says Austen. What is it telling you?
She looks him in his eyes.
Austen: To keep trying.
He sighs.
Austen: I hate giving up. You know that.
She smiles at him.
Mercedes: Well then listen to it. Your heart led you to me didn’t it?
He nods.
Austen: It did.
He slowly rubs his knee.
Austen: I just…
He lets out a deep breath.
Austen: It’s been tough.
Mercedes nods her head.
Mercedes: That is normal though. Life is tough. If it was easy, the world would be full of rainbows and unicorns. It’s not.
Austen breaks a small smile.
Austen: Help me to get change, babe?
He tries to stand up.
Mercedes: Of course I will baby.
She moves so she can help him standing up. She helps him up as she helps him hobble off towards the locker room to get a shower and to get changed..
Austen: Here we go!
He leaps off and the trainer moves, as Austen lands awkwardly onto his foot as his knee buckles.
