Rusty Rose Vs Laydy Kniles / Zharina Faces Off With Jasmine & Nelfariana

Rebellion Week 2: Rusty Rose faces off against Laydy Kniles as the two represent Tristan and Mary respectively. Prior to the match, Rusty and Valkyrie both briefly reminisce on where they were about this time two years ago and Rusty admits she does find herself wondering who would have won between them had it been a one on one match. Valkyrie says that they have time left to ask the right questions and find out. The two seem to non-verbally agree to challenge one another. --- The view then shifts to the back area where Nelfariana and Zharina are confronting one another backstage and are engaged in a back and forth brawl where Zharina hits Nelfariana with a metal tray and manages to throw her into some production crates. Nelfariana then recomposes herself and charges at Zharina, spearing her into the side of a table, which causes Zharina’s back to arch and she attempts hitting Nelfariana’s back with various objects until she relents. Zharina then pokes Nelfariana’s eye, which makes her back off. As Zharina recomposes herself, Jasmine steps in the middle of them and tries talking them down, to which Nelfariana seems the least open to listening. However, Jasmine asserts that the fighting between them is going nowhere and nothing is being achieved. “Nelfariana, tell me what you hope to gain by beating Zharina’s ass?” Jasmine asks as she lightly shoves her before turning to Zharina. “And you… I have my misgivings with you. Including you stepping in the middle of what was between her and me.” Jasmine says as she points to Nelfariana. “But I understand the anger you felt then and still feel now. I know what Sebastian meant to you, but he’s not gone in the sense that you can’t call him up for advice. You fought your damnest, Zhar, and that is something to be proud of even if you didn’t emerge the victor.” Jasmine says to Zharina, which does seem to give her pause. “None of us are in the right with each other!” Jasmine says loudly. “We all just saw Eillie out there standing up to the real problem! She’s out there doing what we should be doing! Instead, look at us! Doing the same tired shit our parents did! Fight amongst ourselves for nothing more than ego and directionless anger! We! US! We lost Sebastian as our family’s guiding voice. We only have our own voices to heed now… Sebastian is gone and soon Raiya will be too. The original founders of The Tarek Dynasty will soon be figures of the past and what comes in its place will be determined by us!” Jasmine says as she looks at either of them and holds her hands out, gesturing for them to remain calm. “I’m not asking for the three of us to suddenly get along again, I know we’re well past that point, but at the very least we can all take a step back and re-evaluate ourselves and what it is we’re even fighting over.” Jasmine says as Zharina and Nelfariana look at one another and then at Jasmine and relax themselves. Zharina then extends a hand to Jasmine, which she takes, but Zharina knees her in the gut and then takes a metal bar laying on the ground and hits Jasmine with it as Nelfariana watches. Jasmine groans in pain as Zharina looks at Nelfariana and smiles at her. Nelfariana appears apprehensive, but Zharina offers her the bar, which Nelfariana takes and is about to hit Jasmine with it, but Zharina then kicks Nelfariana’s jaw and beats her down as well. Zharina stands over both of them and wipes her hair from her face and laughs to herself as she shakes her head and kicks Jasmine down while Nelfariana grips her own head. “Fuck your offers of peace, Jasmine. If you know we’re past those, then stop wasting your breath and our time with offering them! And ‘we’? No… We didn’t lose anything. I DID! I’m the one who put the family first! Me! Not you two! You don’t get to grandstand at me like I’ve been the selfish one!” Zharina says angrily and then lifts her foot off of Jasmine and exhales a deep breath. “I will say this to you both, however… I’ve lost everything there ever was to lose. All I have left is my rage and I will use that rage to bring about a reckoning. And not just on you two, but on every single person who thought they could bring me down. Before the end, I will be the one you two acknowledge!” Zharina says as she walks off, leaving Jasmine and Nelfariana writhing on the ground.
