Lorrrrrd! 👒

I can honestly say that I knew this week was gonna be some shit when I first heard that I had apparently been going all about this acting like I somehow wasn't facing off against the longest-reigning Answers World Champion of all time. 🙄 My ego was getting in the way, my intentions of winning in the main event this time around when it came to a World Title were apparently clouding my judgment of just who the fuck Kassidy Heart was or is, and the arrogance that I'd been bringing to this has just been far too much! ...Lol, ok. Quite honestly, I don't know what else to tell you on that front, Kassidy. 🤷‍♀️ If you think that I'm honestly underestimating you and that it's me who doesn't know who the hell she's actually dealing with, then I guess that's what the narrative is gonna be this week despite me having felt like I've made it clear. I'm at the point where I feel like it couldn't be any clearer, but at the end of the day and once we reach the end of all this, it's not going to be something for me to be concerned about after the fact. I'm gonna stand by what I've said - that I can win, that I can force you to take this loss, that I can succeed in retaining the Universal Women's Championship and maintaining my spot on top of the women's division - because that's how I'm coming into this, knowing for a fact that I know I'm facing one of the best to ever do it like I somehow haven't suggested or said that enough even before now when I said this would be a big Pain for Pride match for this title's history. I also said you'd be my biggest challenge yet. But oops! There goes my unrestrained arrogance getting out of hand - again. 🙃 Fucking ugh, I hate it when that shit happens because it's like I'm not in control of my actions or whatever when I get like that. 😔 ...But if that's the way you feel, then fuck, I guess that's just the way it's gonna be, Kassidy, because I'm not changing my stance. And I know what you'd probably say, that you wouldn't want your opponent so easily swayed anyway when they've promised to put up such a fight 🙄 - but the point is that I really think you have shit twisted about my approach to all this. Not that you haven't studied me like you've needed to, not that you haven't done everything you possibly can to have shit I do in the ring scouted - just that it's starting to border on being funny as fuck to me that I'm going into this has having my confidence oddly taken as some weird, uninformed arrogance. But whose fucking fault is that? Surely not mine! 🤷‍♀️ I know that I'm going to get you at your best, I know that you're going to want to stop at nothing until you're the one with the Universal Women's Championship - you're really going out your way to make a point to me about me somehow not really taking any of that into account. 🤷‍♀️ It's fine though, really, because if this is the shit I'm gonna get then I'll deal with whatever the fuck is coming my way like I was always going to.

I mean, it sure beats having to listen to you open your mouth and say some stupidly dramatic shit about how the only way you can seemingly get any genuine respect is by practically being on the verge of death and nearly killing yourself in a match. But I don't know what the hell you want from me - other than the Universal Women's Championship, obviously 😌 - when I'm really just speaking on the way you're coming at me, having made it out to be like I came into this with the honest thought that you just.... wouldn't be a challenge. 🥴 Maybe after hearing me say that I basically don't get Kassidy Heart the way that she is now without other people taking advantage of her for their benefit or, in some weird fucking way with DEDEDE, for yours just as much as his, you felt some type of way. It's not like I lied when I said it. Or maybe it was something else, like something as simple as me saying that I can be better than you at Pain for Pride and come through with the proof in the form of an actual win. But if anything's caught me off guard from you this week, it was that absolute shit. I had to genuinely laugh behind it because I thought it was actually pretty funny, honestly 🤭, and I first I thought you might be joking but here we are - again - coming back around to this idea that I'm actually underestimating you, so you just have to let me know you've got me figured out. I'm sure we're both aware that neither of us is necessarily trying to reason with each other, but when I'm hearing you say what you have to say after I've literally pointed out that I'm aware of who I'm facing and what you're after, it really confuses the fuck out of me in a way that makes me question what else you're trying to prove. Not really my focus though, nor will I give a fuck when it's all said and done, because I'm secure in handling my business how I want and how I'm going to have to do it. I know I've shown that this season in other ways, whether that was defeating The Visual Prophet at Operation: Doomsday because I so much as even thought to assert myself for an opportunity, defeating Bethany Blue regardless of the roll she'd been on and despite the shit StarrStan had left at our feet for us to make sense of, coming back around to defeat SOSA Henderson after whatever the fuck it was that he ultimately turned that build-up toward House of Glass into - all because I knew what it'd showcase. Thinking about StarrStan's weird-ass behavior this season when it came to Operation: Doomsday with his expectation for me to lose so Viz could be appeased and his unexplained bullshit as far as Road to Redemption goes, I knew what the gauge going by last season was and it was that maybe my fortitude had been worn down. I wasn't going to assume that the expectations were going to be astronomically high, not after that shitshow, but I sure as fuck knew that what it really came back down to was me and what I was going to make of all this as it played out. One way or another, I was obtaining success because even if certain people didn't see it for me, I was getting it for myself. It didn't come in the form of a World Heavyweight Championship win, no, but that wasn't what mattered to me in the aftermath; it was going to be how I persisted in all of the months after and I sure as fuck have. Maybe you would think that with what I've done that I didn't - or don't - have much else to prove, I'm sure there are people who think the same about you at this point - and yet, here we are. The both of us insisting on making another moment, more history for ourselves. I could see why you'd ask me about it, especially now that I've finally gotten myself a Hall of Fame induction after the fucking disaster that was last season, but before I had any idea that that could be coming my way this season at all, I had to take myself further and get myself the fuck up because of what I knew all of this has meant to me - and I'm looking to push myself to go even further against even more.

I don't know what I did to have this reputation where I just brush shit off like none of it weighs heavily at times on me, maybe it was because Empire seemed so toxic at a point in Season 12 that so much negativity took precedent and I didn't complain about shit too much if at all - but it only gave me the impression that people assumed maybe I didn't care as much and I remember being told that outright at one point. "Oh, Andrea lost? She'll have moved on two weeks later, so it's no big deal because she doesn't care at all about like this I do. 🙄" "Oh, Andrea lost her championships in such a short time? She'll just get another opportunity so it's probably whatever for her and she'll be fine, lol. 😄" I can honestly say that after Season 14 came to an end, I wasn't thinking about anything like that. I wasn't thinking about opportunities that I couldn't honestly say I would've expected to come my way, I sure as shit wasn't thinking about a Hall of Fame induction at that point - it was really fucking with me that I had somehow gotten to a point with myself where I had brought down two other women who deserved so much better not just for a way to close their season but from me just as much. It bothered me that I had also cost Harlow Reichert a potential Specialists Championship win, just to get back at her over something neither of us had any real involvement in with Xavier's injury. I didn't think I'd find myself getting that personal with anyone this season, but I did wonder, what happens if I even get a feeling that shit is starting down that road again? What if last season's drama really does hold me back knowing how I felt about all of it? Even without those questions, another was how the hell do I answer for the shit that happened? I couldn't know but I was at least willing to go into the season and achieve something, even more for myself; I wasn't looking for a championship to validate how I felt about all the shit that had gone down, I'd already accomplished plenty some others who come through here will never get to say they did, but what more I could and can do was always going to be personal to me knowing I'd have my shit together. With no one but myself having my best interests sincerely at heart, whatever I was going to do was going to be solely on me and I was going to push myself for it against any amount of bullshit that could've transpired - and it sure did in some annoying ways. No matter what, I was seeing to it that I did all that I needed to come out on the other side of it prevailing - this is also that for me. The person who really took me the fuck down last season was honestly and truly me - I was responsible for my own downfall and it was ugly as fuck, but coming off the back of all that, I've been entirely responsible for where the fuck I'm at now this season going into this match and I'll be responsible for putting you down next for my next accomplishment.

I absolutely do take a whole lot of pride in having gotten myself here, especially after everything and where I was. If I wanted to crack jokes though about your team of people and that entire situation you've got going on with them guiding you into being great, you'd really know. Like, do I think it's a bit ridiculous that a grown ass woman firing her social media manager resulted in things getting just a little bit shakey in the Adams' household for a few seconds, or that she needed one in the first pace? Sure. 🤷‍♀️ Do I think it's odd that we have to hear that you faced some sort of scolding for actually giving attention to an opponent in a match you're going into? Absolutely. 🤷‍♀️ All this shit for someone else to say that they made you. 🙄 I'm not gonna say that it hasn't worked out well for you or that it hasn't gotten you the results you wanted, but I'm more than willing to go in and show you not only could I be an exception to the idea that this is gonna be another moment where you get exactly what you want, but for myself just as much in showing that being the best here and truly letting you know all this time later that I really was able to bring myself over you is something that I didn't have to doubt.
