Redemption Story Chapter One - A New Chapter Wednesday, April 22
(The scene opens inside a hospital, as doctors and nurses rush around hurriedly to the rooms. As a nurse walks into one of the rooms, we see the patient name on the door reads Russow.)
Nurse: Hey, how we doing?
Audrey Russow: Eeady to have a baby.
Daniel Russow: Is there anything else you can give her for pain?
Nurse: Sorry, we are only allowed to give so much.
Audrey Russow: It’s fine.
(Audrey winces as she scoots you’re in the bed.)
Audrey Russow: Are we still on schedule?
Nurse: Yes, the doctors should be here shortly to start everything. Just hang in there.
Audrey Russow: Thats what ive been telling myself the past nine months.
(Daniel leans over and gives Audrey a kiss on the forehead.)
Daniel Russow: Just a bit longer.
Audrey Russow: I still don’t see why you HAVE to have a match on Tuesday...surely they are aware your wife is having a baby...ya know since I was the head trainer and all…
Daniel Russow: It’s part of the deal I made. It is supposed to help lead to something for Sestiny. And if it wasn’t for the fact RJ and Emery are in town, I wouldn’t go. And I’m not leaving till Monday morning. I’ve already got my flight back booked for after the show. So, I’ll be out of there pretty quickly.
Audrey Russow: Are you sure?
Daniel Russow: Yeah, I gotta get back in time to spend my wife’s whole birthday with her.
(He leans down and kisses her forehead, as she smiles.)
Audrey Russow: Mt birthday isn’t until Thursday. You could come home on Wednesday.
Daniel Russow: Maybe I have something I need to be in town the day before for.
Audrey Russow:......
Daniel Russow: What?
Audrey Russow: What are you up to?
Daniel Russow: Noooooothin.
Audrey Russow: Uh huh…
Daniel Russow: Don’t worry about it.
(She seemingly decides to drop it and lays beck in the hospital bed.)
Audrey Russow: Are you going to try to talk to your brothers and Nick?
Daniel Russow: Maybe, everyone is probably, justifiably gonna be looking for Mattie and protecting the other girls. Another reason I’m glad you’re not gonna be going with me.
Audrey Russow/ Why’s that?
Daniel Russow: Our daughter needs her father. That wouldn’t happen if something were to happen to you cause I’d kill whoever did it.
(Audrey reaches up and puts a hand against Daniel’s face.)
Audrey Russow: I know you still have that rage. But we are about to be parents baby, so try to keep it in check unless absolutely neeed.
Daniel Russow : If something happens to you, there would be nothing keeping it from coming out…
Audrey Russow: Nothing is gonna happen to me, we have plenty of fans that wouldn’t let that happen, and you wouldn’t either.
Daniel Russow: You wish they were all here, don’t ya?
Audrey Russow: I do...feels weird without Cam here. But I have you here, and I would have raised hell had they said no.
Daniel Russow: Yeah that’s a fight I’m not even taking.
Audrey Russow: Smart man.
Daniel Russow: I married you, sounds pretty smart to me.
Audrey Russow: Easy tiger.
(Audrey winces once more.)
Audrey Russow: I love this girl but I am ready for her to come out. I’ve had enough scares.
Daniel Russow: Still not sure why you didn’t wanna tell anyone about those. I mean I guess none of them were super serious, just kinda confused me.
Audrey Russow: You know our friends, had they known they would have constantly been like “Are you okay?” over and over again.
Daniel Russow: Yeah but...when we thought you had the virus...I mean yeah you didn’t but still…
Audrey Russow: We got through it. I’m just glad you were home during that. One good thing coming from the company taking a month off.
Daniel Russow: Yeah, I’m just glad you’re okay. I was scared to death.
Audrey Russow: I’m fine though, and In a few hours we will have our baby girl.
(There is a knock on the door, and the doctor walks in.)
Daniel Russow: Hey doc, how’s everything looking?
Doctor: Well, I was coming in to say that we are going to go ahead and start. We need to induce you soon.
Audrey Russow: Is everything okay?
Doctor: Well, the baby is starting to shift into a not so easy position, so we just need to get things going the sooner we can.
(Audrey can sense Dan’s grip tightening on the bed rail. She puts a hand over his as he looks down at her.)
Audrey Russow: It’s going to be okay.
(She looks over at the doc.)
Audrey Russow/ Lets get things started.
. .. … .. .
A few hours later…:
(We come back to the room, as now it’s filled with nurses and doctors. There is a lot of commotion going on, as Daniel is standing by Audrey holding onto her hand.)
Doctor: Okay, one more big push here.
(Audrey strains as everyone encourages her. After a one time, the most glorious little cry can be heard, that causes tears to instantly form in Daniel’s eyes, as he looks down at Audrey and smiles from ear to ear before leaning down and hiving her a kiss. He puts his forehead to hers as they stay like that for a moment. After a moment, they are interrupted by a sentence they have been waiting months to hear…)
Nurse: Would you like to hold your daughter?
Audrey & Daniel: Yes!
(Audrey is banded a tiny little baby, in a swaddle. She too has happy tears welling up in her eyes as she looks down at her newborn baby girl.)
Daniel Russow: She’s beautiful.
Audrey Russow: She’s perfect.
Nurse: Do we have a name?
(Audrey and Daniel look at each other, then down to the baby. Audrey smiles as she looks down at her.)
Audrey Russow: Aurora Jade…
Daniel Russow: Aurora Jade Russow.
Nurse: That’s lovely. We are gonna finish getting her cleaned up and check everything out then bring her back to you two.
Audrey Russow: I don’t want to let her go…
Daniel Russow: They have to check her out babe.
(Audrey is fixated on baby Aurora, when she seemingly snaps out of it, and looks at the nurse.)
Audrey Russow: Can Daniel holdin her first?
Nurse; Oh, of course!
(Audrey reaches up and hands Aurora over to Daniel, who holds the tiny baby in his hands. He looks down with the warmest smile.)
Daniel Russow: Hello, Aurora. I’m your dad. Anything you ever need, I’m here for you.
(Daniel hands Aurora to the nurse, before turning back to Audrey.)
Daniel Russow: We did it.
Audrey Russow: I love you.
Daniel Russow: I love you too, beautiful.
(The nurses go to take care of Aurora. As we leave our scene.)

Redemption Stiry Chapter Two - Sharing Wisdom Saturday, April 25
(Our scene opens inside the Russow household. It’s early in the morning, and we find Daniel Russow in the workout room, as Rodney James walks in.)
Rodney James: Why am I not surprised you’re up at 6 am working out?
Daniel Russow: I have a match on Tuesday. gotta make sure I’m ready. Em asleep?
Rodney James: Yeah, Audrey and Aurora?
Daniel Russow: Yeah, manages to get up without waking them up. You wanna join me?
Rodney James: I knew that was coming…
Daniel Russow: Hey ya been stuck inside the past how long? Ever since you stopped your wrestling training ya haven’t worked out as much.
Rodney James: You holding that against me?
Daniel Russow: absolutely not. You got the chance of a lifetime to follow your dreams. Besides a career in music is definitely easier on your body than one in wrestling.
Rodney James: If it wasn’t for my music, I probably wouldn’t have met Em.
Daniel Russow: Ya care about the girl?
Rodney James: Honestly? Like there’s you guys, but outside of that she’s the most important person in my life. The distance has just been getting to us. It sucks living across the country from each other. It’s been so great this past week being in the same place as her.
(Daniel walks over to a weight machine and starts using it.)
Daniel Russow: Sounds like you need to move back to LA.
Rodney James: I will eventually. I came here to help out with Aurora.
Daniel Russow: Brother, don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the hell outta you for everything you’ve done for us, but if she makes you that happy, you gotta go be with her. We’ll be fine.
Rodney James: You kicking me out?
Daniel Russow: Haha, nah. Just giving you some advice.
Rodney James: I couldn't do that to Audrey.
(Daniel stops and looks at Rodney.)
Daniel Russow: Who do you think told me I should say something to you?
Rodney James: What? When did she say that?
Daniel Russow: When we were at the hospital on Wednesday.
Rodney James: And you’re just now telling me?
Daniel Russow: Timing is a thing. Besides I knew I had time. And we gotta plan for Thursday.
Daniel Russow: Does she have any idea?
Daniel Russow: I might have let it slip that I’m doing something. But she doesn’t know what.
Rodney James: Should probably try to keep it that way.
Daniel Russow: Well first I gotta get through this match with Miles.
Rodney James: Think you’re ready for it?
Daniel Russow: Hope so. Miles hasn’t had a match on tv since mid February, so it’ll be interesting to see where he’s at. With everything happening with Mack and Mattie, has everyone on edge.
Rodney James: Yeah that stuff is….
Daniel Russow: Mack is justified in whatever he does to those bastards. Whatever it is, they deserve worse.
Rodney James: Daaaark…
Daniel Russow: I have to stop myself from thinking about it, cause my mind goes to if it was Audrey what would I do?
Rodney James:...do I wanna know?
Daniel Russow: Probably not. Let’s just say there’s a reason I managed to thrive given my upbringing.
Rodney James:...I’ll take your word for it.
Daniel Russow: Good call, Now you wanna help me train for this match?
Rodney James: Ah yeah bro. Let’s go.
(The scene fades with the two starting to train.)

Redemption Story Chapter Three - Reflectuon to Redemption Tuesday April 28
(The scene opens inside an empty arena. It’s a few hours before the show, and Daniel is out in the ring, testing out the rooes and getting a feel for everything. He runs the ropes a couple of times, before stopping and leaning against the ropes. He’s looking out at the empty seats when he notices a cameraman watching him.)
Daniel Russow: Let me guess, website exclusive content?
Cameraman: They need a promo from you.
Daniel Russow: Alright. Let me know when you’re rolling.
Cameraman: Good to go.
(Daniel walks around the ring for a second, slowly walking against the ropes and rebounding off them, before he starts to speak.$
Daniel Russow: Sixty-three days...it’s been sixty-three days since I had a match in this ring. Just over two months. It wouldn’t have been that long, but due to the “ongoing global situation” it is what it is. It’s been a little longer for my opponent, Miles.
(Daniel stops for a moment.)
Daniel Russow: Ya know, last year wasn’t exactly my year. It started out at Destiny last year, some people thought it was gonna be me facing the Aussie, but then Jenn and Mike got added to it, and the Aussie came out with the title. Fast forward a few...questionable...outcomes. Fast forward to Last Rites. It was again gonna be me versus the Aussie. But this time, management decided after the Irishman got a win, that he’d be injected into the match...again skewing the one-on-one match. We go to the show, and due to a convenient set of handcuffs, the Irishman wins the title.
(Daniel shakes his head.)
Daniel Russow: So now it’s a new year, and already it’s been a hell of a ride for me. Hell, the past month alone has been crazy. I lost a very important person to me, I had a kid...plenty of ups and downs.
(He goes back against the ropes.)
Daniel Russow/ Miles, I like you, kid. I got nothing against you, really. But this isn’t about that. This is a redemption story. This is my redemption story. . I don’t know what I’m doing at Destiny this year, but best believe I’m doing something. Last year at Destiny, the Aussie took the spot I believed I should have. This year...I ain’t letting anyone take my spot. As I said, I’ve had a lot of highs and lows, but there is still a lot of rage inside me. There’s still that violent side of me just aching to get out. I’ve kept it buried for months now, but before long, I’m gonna have to let it out. I can’t guarantee it won’t try to make an appearance this week Miles.
(He looks right at the camera.)
Daniel Russow/ I’m kind of on a roll going into this match, and I’m looking to continue my winning streak. It’s really nothing personal against you Miles. You just happen to be the guy that is standing across the ring from me. When I step in here tonight, I’m not just gonna be thinking about you. I’m gonna be thinking about this past year. I’m gonna be thinking about everything I’ve been through, everything I’ve endured. I’m gonna be thinking about Destiny last year. I’m gonna be thinking about Last Rites. I’m gonna be thinking about my daughter, and I’ll tell you now. Those things combined are gonna bring a fight you just ain’t ready for, kid. Get ready, buckle up. You’re gonna be in for one hell of a fight.
(Dan stares intently into the camera before the cameraman stops recording.)

Following Demons Run Bronx, NY
“WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!”
It’s all he could muster out sitting there watching the end of Demons Run. Quickly grabbing his phone, he dialed the only number he could think of and of course it went straight to voicemail.
“Mate, fucking call me.” Completely flustered he screamed out again as he ended that call and starting scrolling through his list, “Dammit...where are you....”
“Miles?”
Miles Kasey mumbled to himself as Nessa looked at him with worry. His hands were physically shaking so badly, he fumbled the phone only to catch it quickly to keep trying to call, “Finally....” he clicks hard on the screen and once again...voicemail, “Russow, it’s Milo, look I know things are crazy right now but I need to get out there. As soon as you can, give me a call...” he hits to end the call and whips his phone across the room, “SHIT! I should have been there.”
“You couldn’t have known...” Nessa says trying to comfort him but Miles just stands up and begins to pace the room.
“Yes I should have. I should have been at his side from the moment that fucker attacked the others. Now fuck only knows what’s going on, if they are even alive or what...I should have never left that house after that son of a bitch tried that....” Miles stops for a moment and you can see the look of fear in Nessa’s eyes, “I’m sorry love, but I have to go out there with them and it’s going to suck cause fuck only knows when I’ll be back.”
“Well....” Nessa stands up and walks over to him, “...I’m going too.”
Miles shakes his head, “No way! It is way too dangerous.”
“Look around! It’s fucking dangerous to matter what! If I stay, he could just as easily get to me but if I go,” grabbing his hands tightly, “I’m still around you and....who knows...maybe I can be of some use to you guys. I’m not a wrestler but I do swing a mean wrench when I need too.”
Miles laughs just a bit as he pulls Nessa into a hug, “At this rate, we’re going to need all the help we can get.”
Nessa looks up at him, “I’ll start packing.” Before he can say another word she takes off for the bedroom.
“....I just hope we’re not too late.”
The Prodigal Asshole Returns Las Vegas, NV
“Las Vegas.........Not exactly what I wanted to come back to.
I should have been there, I should have been here in Vegas at Demons Run. The next time Mack sees me, I’m going to let him kick the shit out of me because I fuckin’ deserve it. But....”
We see Miles looking out the window of his new home for the foreseeable future.
“APEX doesn’t feel the same. I came back and greeted everyone after getting tested. But things were....different. There is an air missing, there is a sadness, there is evil there is....it’s not right. Mattie is an amazing woman and for this to happen to her....”
Just the thought of it makes Miles grip the curtains so hard, his knuckles turn white. He pulls down tightly but the curtains just tighten up, instead of coming down on top of him.
“I can’t find my mate either....the one man I promised to help no matter what. Do you have ANY IDEA HOW MUCH I HATE MYSELF?! It’s been eating at me since I witnessed it on TV. ....then....a message. Welcome back Miles, you get to face Daniel Russow....new daddy. ....congrats by the way, mate. I saw the picture....she’s beautiful.”
Miles just sighs and leans his head against the window banging his head a couple of times to try and see if that 10 cent head of his is still working.
“But I need you to really think about this for one moment. I need you to use your Russow instincts and grasp the concept that this isn’t like before. War has been declared in PWS...it’s us against them. Bullshit aside, we are heading into this bitter ugly war and none of these matches are going to mean a fucking thing. And everyone on this roster is going to have to either stand by us, stand by them or get fucking pushed to the shadows....again.”
Miles chuckles.
“See, the shadows don’t scare me.....in fact I was held hostage by them and almost practically called them a friend. I cannot imagine you are ready to go back there, being a new daddy and all. Your little girl needs her father....and I hope and pray that you don’t get caught up in the shadows of this war. My father did years ago...it cost my sister and I an entire lifetime with him. Don’t let it happen to you, mate. Don’t. Let us, the new generation, take this one for the entire group because no matter what we all have....we have nothing to lose. ...you do.”
Miles growls almost in frustration and punches the window but it does not crack. He just looks up at it as to say “Seriously?!?”
“Damn bulletproofs....Daniel, I want to give you one hell of a welcome back match....for both our sakes. Cause in a way, this is my return too after a lot of time off. I have a lot of built-up frustration ready to unleash on you in that ring. In fact I almost welcome a knock down drag out fight, because I know that is what you are good at. I want you to be back, I know you need the ring as much as I do. But I am not one that is going to just lay down, especially I have so much lost time to make up for.”
Miles looks out towards the Las Vegas strip, you can barely see the off blue color of his tired eyes.
“I have to redeem myself....for no one but myself.”
.....we’re coming Mattie. Wait for him.
