Elina Cartel vs. Tiami Erickson
2018 did not end well for Tiami Erickson in Elysium.

During that match Tiami was attacked by the returning Elina Cartel in a shocking turn of events. Tiami will attempt to get her revenge on the former Hybrid Champion but what can she expect from The Inquiring Mind and her new attitude?

The impact of a flourish of color on the eyes can be felt right before displaying a portrait of Tiami Erickson and Erik Holland. It’s a vividly painted portrait displaying the two locked, arm in arm, in what appears to be a romantic embrace. The sound of Elina Cartel’s voice can be heard. “Young love. Love in its infancy. During this period of time the heart feels more than it has ever felt before. There’s a yearning for sustenance unmatched by even the emptiest stomach. Thoughts revolve around the significant other and what could come. Breath bated, shallow, and anticipatory. Yes. This warmth felt is almost confounding. Still, deep in the back of the mind exists doubt. This is what makes it ‘exciting’ and ‘dangerous’. These feelings may fold in and become their devastating counterparts in an instant. Match this doubt with the realization that her man, Erik Holland, couldn’t best Shido, the man she trivialized mere weeks prior...”The sound of Elina’s soft laugh echoes. “Tiami Erickson certainly believes her’s is a true love. The undeniable truth. Preparation for marriage, procreation, and a long life together has already engaged. She, on the coattails of ‘her man’ can move on through her life a ‘hero’, regardless of whether or not her own career has amounted to much, which it has not. The delusion of true love keeps her hopes high even as she is forced to submit in multiple matches, meanwhile, boasting wins in only contests with the most mediocre of opponents. Yet, the fact remains that she no longer has to worry, thanks to the man she follows. Yes, she is elevated by ‘her man’ and the ‘love of her life’ Erik Holland. How idyllic.”Without a moment’s notice, the portrait of Erik and Tiami catches fire. From the bottom edge, to the top, the portrait is burned away to reveal yet another portrait, this time of Erik and Tiami, with child. “What a future they could have together. Tiami and Erik--our heroes. The undaunted ‘difference makers’ of Elysium. Now they can produce offspring to carry on their bloodline. They can repopulate the world in their image. Yet, the doubt, deep in the back of Tiami’s mind still exists.”The portrait changes only minutely, with Tiami’s loving gaze morphing into a quizzical expression. Holland remains unchanged. “Will Erik Holland see Tiami the same way once she has mutilated her own body by giving birth to his child? What if this child isn’t what he wants? What if it was all a mistake? What if other women start catching his eye? What will happen then? How will Tiami respond? She never progressed as a professional wrestler. She plateaued thanks to the fact that Erik Holland carried her, all the while, ignoring her lack of actual in-ring expertise. Is this love truly meant to be? Can it stand the test of time?”Now Elina’s tattooed hand enters the scene to pull away the portrait of Erik and Tiami with child. The portrait is crumpled up and thrown away to reveal yet another portrait. This time, of Tiami by herself, with a toddler, and she looks absolutely exhausted. “Assuredly, the time will come when Tiami no longer knows the warm embrace of Erik Holland. She will tell you now that they’re ‘forever’ and will never separate, but this is merely an example of her denial. Theirs is a doomed relationship. Tiami will find herself with a child she secretly despises and an ex husband who doesn’t support her. Where will she work? Where will she go? Is she still pretty enough to obtain a new caregiver? Can she once again step back into the ring? Perhaps her future is one with Walmart or an equal employment opportunity. Her thoughts turn from ‘dominating the wrestling world’ to ‘making a living wage’. Pitiful.”Again, Elina laughs softly, this time, there’s a heinous snicker mingled within it. “Yet, it could be worse for Tiami. Much worse.”Again, Elina’s tattooed hand pulls the portrait from the frame and crumples it up, before throwing it away. Now the same image is displayed, only this time, painted beside her is a slightly fatter, slightly balder version of Erik Holland. “Yes, for Tiami, it could be much worse. She could still be stuck with a Holland who has not only blown up his career, but with it, destroyed any financial security she expected when she spread her legs. Yes. His looks and prowess have been crushed within the jaws of time; she now finds herself with two children to look after. Suddenly she finds that she can’t cook ‘good enough’ she can’t make him ‘happy’ and ultimately, she’s just not good enough. Nightmare realized - she wasn’t good enough in the ring and she’s not good enough in the kitchen. Her curse is her decision to pin all of her hopes on a man the likes of Erik Holland.”The last image is pulled away to show a portrait of a gravesite. “And what does Tiami Erickson have to show for her life? Wins over two forgettable opponents and the sound of the times she tapped out echoing in her ears. Can one boast being the ‘main squeeze’ of a former champion? Is this something that can go on a resume? When they read Tiami’s eulogy, what will they say? ‘She was, for a moment, a Pretty Badass’ or ‘What she lacked in actual ability, she made up for with plastic surgery’ or even ‘She laid with a former champion and somehow elevated herself to a memorable position’. What kind of a memorium is this?”Again, that snicker is heard, this time, it sounds more like the angry call of a wolf, than an actual laugh. “Yours is a bleak future, Tiami. I am merely the next step in your inevitable depreciation.”END

[]"What do you stand for Elina?"
[Scene opens to Tiami, standing out in the snow and cold. She is seen walking, the camera moving up and down as she continues walking.]
"The better question is what do you think you stand for? Do you stand for grace, righteousness and the better man? The answer to that is simply no. You stand for everything wrong with SHIDO and that was proven at Nightfall. I have no idea what your agenda was coming out and laying your hands on me. Really, I still think about it to this day. I often wonder what exactly I did or said to come across your radar and in honesty?
I was not needing the extra attention. You sure have mine however."
[She shifts the camera, the sun bouncing off the snow as a very bright light. When she shifts the camera back to her face her pace has gone a bit quicker to get to where she needs to be.]
"All you did was rile a beast inside me, Carter. You sure talk a load of shit about Erik and not a whole lot about me. The fact of the matter is I am not riding coat tails of anyone. If you wish to call my integrity out, be a woman and call me out on it. not the little scared girl, scared to lose her relevance. I saw it at Nightfall. You were scared. Scared to lose the relevance you have. You see me as a threat.
You are a smart woman. Yet ninety percent of people peg me as an underdog, not threat."
[She finally makes it to her destination, a small house. She gets inside, turns a light on and then slams the door shut to get in from the cold. She sets the phone down and starts shedding all of her winter gear before finally picking the phone back up, walking around a bit.]
"Its people like you Elina that never truly appreciates a good underdog story. I do though, especially when I am the underdog with one hell of a lot to prove. For as much as you hype up my family and all that, you didn't really figure out how far I would go, how much I am willing to hurt and how much I will sacrifice for this business. No, you wanted to make this personal. Doesn't phase me as much, many have tried to make it personal. I mean, did you even study my wrestling background?"
[She chuckled slightly.]
"My dear Elina, you have stuck yourself in something you honestly didn't need to nor want to. My beef was only with SHIDO for what he did to me. However, I have been graced with your presence in the ring so let me make one thing clear. I am not there for a win or a loss. I am here for my justice, and that is with a pint of blood. I say let us start with the woman. Let me see how far I can push SHIDO. Should I just go all out and do what he did to me? Really make a statement with your body on a stretcher? Should I start smaller? A scratch here, drive you through the announce table, then send you back to him a bloody heap? I mean, all possibilities are endless.
My mind is on revenge, however, not simple matches.
If that can not be honoured? Then I start taking a count until my end is met.
SHIDO on a pike, Elina;s blood on my hands.
Daybreak is coming Elysium, courtesy of me."
[The screen then cuts out and then to black.]
