Chapter 88: A Satisfying Kick
Rob’s new pickup truck came in really handy when it came to going to and fro from work. As much as he grumbled with Dacey about it, he kinda enjoyed driving in his new pickup. It gave him a kind of country feel.
The next two days passed in a blur as Rob immersed himself in work. This episode of <Fyre> was going to be a pivotal moment. Rob had his hands full in planning things for the women’s division.
This episode of <Fyre> was important for two reasons. One, the follow-up of Diana’s character development must be done properly. If not, things wouldn’t be as good as he hoped. This might even affect his long-term plans.
The other one was the match between Evelyn and Selena.
LWC has built it for weeks and a proper payoff must be given to that. He had haggled for a bit and somehow managed to get Robin to give 20 mins for the women’s division as a whole.
His plan for Dacey and Diana was simple. He was only making them do the cameo for the episode. The real deal would be the match between Evelyn and Selena. Rob knew that the best thing he could do to establish both of them as legitimate contenders for the LWC Women’s Championship and also not spoil the momentum they both had built up until now, was to give them enough time.
Hence he had allocated around 17 mins for the match in a chunk. Both Evelyn and Selena had been pleased with the allocated match time when Rob informed them on Monday regarding it.
Ever since his announcement, both of them have been pouring their brains together and coming up with numerous spots to make the match an out-and-out banger. Rob warned them not to have too many repeats of their prior encounters and left them at it.
Both Evelyn and Selena knew that this was a huge opportunity for them. They knew that having more than a quarter-hour of time for a single match for the women’s division was truly pushing the envelope as it is.
They also knew that Rob was giving them prominence and taking time away from the others to let them shine a bit. After all, they knew what the final plan for the PPV was going to be. So, they knew that they needed to capitalize on this one as much as possible.
Rob could see their drive and hunger in the manner they went about the preparation. He was gratified to see them working hard. His biggest fear to date was not running out of storylines or ideas to dazzle the audience with. No, it was the fear of being let down by the performers after he had set a great stage for them with storytelling.
Hence, he had always kept one eye on the performers’ preparations.
