~With Masami~

On the way to Full Sail, I received a text from Hunter about the match I have with Raquel at the tribute episode to Carlo and I couldn't believe what he wanted me to participate in.

On behalf of the NXT roster, your match with Raquel for the NXT Women's Title, you get to choose the stipulation.

I immediately thought of one that would honor Carlo and make him proud: a fucking Deathmatch. Carlo has been a Deathmatch wrestler during his time out of WWE and I think it might be the best time to pay tribute to him by doing this match.

The barbed wire match I've had with Bliss and Bayley at Survivor Series was exhilarating and it made me want to do more matches like that.

It's a Deathmatch, Hunter. I want to do this match in Carlo's honor and try to win the title for him.

I can't object. If this is what you want, it's fine by me. Raquel was asking what match you would want since it's dedicated to Carlo and how important this show is.

Tell her I said thank you and I'll be getting there in a minute.

Alright. See you then.

We stopped texting and I got the armband I needed to wear for tonight as well as the gear I planned out.

I think everyone would recognize piece of clothing because this was the actual jacket that he wore the night Kaori and I won our first tag match together, debuting for the Black Lotus Triad in NXT.

I was the one who's the fiancée of Carlo so this would be the most appropriate to wear for this occasion. I loved him so much, and I'll continue to do so.

And also, just to get this out of the way, I'm not gonna remarry in the future, because simply, there's no one that can replace Carlo. Sorry Evil!

I wanted to dress like my fiancé tonight and this would pay tribute to him even harder.

When I arrived, everyone was giving out hugs to me and I noticed what they were wearing around their arm:

I couldn't be even more thankful for the love and support that I was given and I had to make sure I thank everyone before the show's over.

I saw Hunter and he immediately walked over and hugged me as I returned it.

You doing okay, Masami?

Yeah. Just trying not to burst into tears.

I understand that. I told Raquel about the match and she was all for it.

Thanks.

Hey, you are winning tonight and I have Joe Pesci, Carlo's grandfather here tonight, along with his father so try to stay as respectful as you can be.

Masami!

I saw that Joe was walking towards me with compassion.

Hey, Joe.

It's okay, kid. Call me your grandfather. Come here, gimme a hug.

I did and it felt so good to be close to Carlo's family. Joe and his son never saw me differently and welcomed me with open arms.

Why don't join us for some catering, help you get your mind off of it?

Alright. See you Hunter.

Don't worry about it.

He hugged me again and I returned it before he walked away and I joined Joe and his son for some catering.

We truly appreciate you putting on this show for Carlo. He would be so proud of you right now.

Thank you.

What made you attracted to him? Just curious.

We've been friends when he came to Japan back in a company called World Wonder Ring of Stardom. It's an all-female wrestling company. He would train with us and when I told him about my other ex-fiancé beating me and giving me a broken nose, he lost it. Carlo didn't want to see me that way and that's what made me attracted to him: his loyalty and his willingness to help others up when they're down.

They kept listening as I kept talking.

Carlo was the perfect gentleman and when those claims came out back in 2013, he was just so upset and he came to Kaori and I for venting. We would always listen and try to help him. When he had Hunter sign him to NXT, Carlo wanted to pay us back and he had Hunter sign us as well. I'll never forget this act of kindness.

What made you want to be his future wife before he passed?

It's just everything we went through together: his torn ACL, the claims resurfacing, and people looking at him differently. He was so close to wanting to end his own life twice and I was there to stop it from happening. I loved him so much and I couldn't let him hurt himself.

Then, a song idea for the video NXT has put together was perfect. I texted Hunter quickly and he approved of the song.

Carlo was the man I loved too much and I can't believe he's gone.

We don't get to be here very long. I know that I'm still getting older and somehow I'm still here. Masami, I welcomed you to the family because of how sweet and kind you are. Anything you need, ask away.

Thank you.

I hugged him as I needed to get ready.

I have to get dressed. See you guys in the outside?

Absolutely kid.

See you out there.

Ciao.

I hugged them one more time before I got in my gear for tonight.

Here's the match card I helped with putting together:

Proud N' Powerful vs Legado Del Fantasma w/ Santos Escobar

Karrion Kross vs ?????

Yurei and Doku (c) vs Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae: NXT Women's Tag Team Championship

Turned out Lucha Underground sold the rights to our old names to WWE and we got to be named those names once again.

Alayah vs ?????

Bronson Reed (c) vs Johnny Gargano

Hitokiri w/ ????? vs Raquel Gonzalez (c) w/ Dakota Kai; Deathmatch for the NXT Women's Championship

The first match was up next as Santana and Ortiz got repackaged as Proud N' Powerful, which is really cool if you ask me.

When they entered, they had new theme music and wow, it sounded pretty badass!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

They entered like they usually do, but instead of wielding their Puerto Rican flag, they wielded a flag that said "R.I.P. Carlo De Luca".

It made me choke up and almost made me cry, but I had to hold back my tears because I have a match later on tonight.

When Santos and his crew came out, he had a mic and it seemed like he wanted to talk shit about tonight.

Seriously? How can Carlo be suitable for NXT to pay tribute to? He's a pedophile, not a wrestler!

The crowd were angry as Joe, I can tell, he wants to whack him. And I don't blame him because this is Carlo's life we're celebrating not some Spanish penis pumping wienies.

We should be celebrating me! Not some jackoff from New York!

Hey Santos! You keep on talking and we'll hurt your arm worse than Carlo did at Beast In The East!

That got everyone behind the two New York Puerto Ricans and Santos had to say this.

I don't remember any of that because for one, he's dead, and two, he's in hell!

That enraged Ortiz and Santana so bad that they went out of the ring and started beating the shit out of the three! They deserved that because nobody disrespects Carlo's legacy and they don't have the right to say that he's in hell.

Once the two threw Santos in the ring, he was trapped by the two savages.

I think there's someone who you need to apologize to!

I don't apologize for nothing! I mean what I said!

Just like that, they gave Santos the Streetsweeper and focused on the two other jackoffs.

~10 Minutes Later~

Santana was locked in a headlock by Mendoza as Ortiz was just cheering him on and trying to get the crowd behind them. Santana was able to get out of it by giving a stunner and a clothesline to Mendoza!

Santana tagged Ortiz and Mendoza tagged in Wilde, who was getting destroyed by Ortiz!

Ortiz was just going all out on Wilde and gave a picture perfect Moonsault from the top rope and yelled at the camera...

CARLO! YOU'RE THE BEST! THE BEST! THE BEST! THE BEST!

He had a tear in his eye at the last yell and he covered Wilde before Santos broke the pin by laying his foot on the rope, claiming it was Wilde who kicked out.

The crowd booed before he went towards Joe, who was staring a hole into Santos' head with anger written on his face.

What's a washed up mob actor gonna do huh?! You ain't shit!

He pushed Joe's head away, which only pissed him off even more while Escobar was just smirking with cockiness. When he turned around, Joe wielded a bat and hit Santos right in the nose, breaking it, making everyone go berserk!

Oh! HA HA!

This is amazing!

This is terrible!

HIT HIM AGAIN! HIT HIM AGAIN!

And Santana with a spear to Santos!

Joe Pesci with a baseball bat to Santos' face! Look at that guy! He deserves to be escorted out of the arena!

Santana have a fist bump to Joe before getting back in the ring and they were able to put Mendoza, the legal man, away with the Streetsweeper!

Ortiz covered him...

ONE! TWO! THREE!

The bell rang as Proud N' Powerful celebrated their victory and Ortiz was just getting emotional about tonight as they paid tribute to my fiancé, Carlo De Luca!

Their arms were raised as they kept wielding the flag they brought to the ring. They kissed the flag and wielded up as Ortiz kept yelling "The best" all the way to the point that he lost control of his emotions and Santana had to comfort him on the way to the back.

It was time for Karrion Kross to face an opponent that was close to Carlo, but my God, wouldn't it be the best moment ever.
