History was made tonight at the new XHW Arena. Shannon Marks has reached an elite status that no one has..Shannon Marks is now the seven time champion. Shannon was definitely feeling the pain throughout her body as her daughter hits like a freight train. She was limping back towards her locker room as she was holding her title on the side of her hip. Shannon Marks leaned against the wall as she winced in pain, knowing that she might think about an ice bath or a cabana boy for a massage. She hugged the wall slowly as she got closer to her locker room. She tilted her head to see PERSON in front of her. She was too exhausted to fight anyone, that didn't mean she wouldn't throw hands if she was provoked.  Shannon Marks: Are you gonna give me a massage or is there something else on your mind, I'm trying to get to my locker room...Shannon Marks groaned from the pain from the steel cage match still looking at PERSON ANYONE MAY CONTINUE |

Of course, it was a certain Luchadora, who was so excited that she didn’t even realize how sore the new champion was currently. She came bouncing down the hall, full of energy before landing right in front of Shannon, shaking her by the shoulder.
Chica Mystika ”You did it Senora Shannon! That was one of the greatest matches I’ve ever seen! I mean she threw you across the ring, and you still didn’t lose, and she jumped on the top of the cage, and then you were like, “Come here!” And almost jumped right out of the ring! Dios Mio! Eso fue genial!“

Shannon was mustering the strength to give Chica a hug in appreciation. She tried to smile through the pain with little success..it was her daughter, but they both did exercise what most would call a new level of "tough love."
Shannon Marks:
I didn't lose, I overcame my girl who dominated the division. She didn't lose because she got the best of me that she requested.
Shannon was the "Bad Bitch" that didn't mean she wasn't humble enough to admit that her daughter built a new standard to "Hell in a Cell" even if it was a steel cage match. |

Chica didn't lessen in excitement at all, even after seeing how she struggled to even hug her. The luchadora held onto Shannon, jumping next to her with a tight grip.
Chica Mystika "That was some of the best that I've ever seen from any of you two...thank you for inspiring me. I just wanted to congratulate you."
She sported such a warm smile while guiding Shannon to her locker room.

Shannon Marks:
Thank you..you helped too, I learn from everyone so I cannot just take everything for myself.. though that match was worth more than Carver's ten thousand dollars and that's something I plan to curdle his whiskey about.
Shannon was using Chica Mystika to lean on as they made their way to her locker room. She was still wincing as the pain stretched into her ribs with every step.

Chica continued to guide Shannon to her room like she was in the nurse's ward, getting her inside of the locker room with enough leftover energy to sit her where she asked. When she heard that Shannon could learn from her though, her eyes sparkled and lit up like it was Christmas.
Chica Mystika "You learned from ME!? I-I don't know what to say...that's got to be the highest honor. I mean I still remember watching you on TV as a little chica...do you need...water or...a massage or something...anything at all?"
She was still stuck in starstruck mode.

Shannon Marks:
Coffee please, I learn from everyone I compete against. I'll never be the high flying angel you are, but I still have to face the odds with everyone
Shannon was truthful with her, she wasn't the high flyer
Shannon Marks:
If I can inspire and be inspired..that itself is a high honor |

Chica ran to the concession area right outside the locker room as if she were her assistant, getting her a large styrofoam cup of coffee.
Chica Mystika "Well, I guess I just knew that I was never going to be a power house...so I knew I had to work with what I did have..."

Shannon could smell the coffee that Chica brought in while she was in her chair trying to mitigate the internal bruising that bright
brought her to her destiny.
Shannon Marks:
Thank you, you've got a lot to work with...how old are you?? |

Chica Mystika "Oh well I finally turn 21 in February, I'm almost a Valentine's baby..."
She says with a smile while handing her off the coffee.
Chica Mystika "But I've been doing this in Mexico since I was 14."

Shannon Marks:
How did you get into this business when you should've been doing teenager things, I mean as a teen I was just starting to get used to Atlanta life from being adopted??
Shannon was genuinely puzzled how she got into wrestling, though her story was more of it was this or possibly jail |

Chica Mystika "Well...I've always loved this business for everything that it's worth, since I was a little chica. Mi papa always wanted to be a part of it, but...he had a lot of medical problems, and he had a lot of kids to take care of. We would sit and watch the luchador fighting league every week until it just stayed in my head. He still worked for me to go to the schools at 15, and, I guess eventually it did get to him. He's been very sick lately, but everyone keeps telling me to stay here and live my dream. And I'm kind of, a big support for them right now, I have siblings and mi papa's expenses too...it's a lot but at least I can do what I love to support them."
She spills out everything, a tear threatening to spill down the side of her mask.

Shannon Marks didn't have the picture perfect childhood either. Her mother was an alcoholic and her father abandoned her which led to her being adopted by a Black American family that was serving in the military.
Shannon Marks:
This is still new to me, I hadn't joined a federation ever... it was more of I can get into fights and either go to jail or make XHW history... we can guess my decision |

Chica Mystika "Was this really not what you wanted to do? It all seems to come so naturally to you...like you were born for it."
She was really trying to fathom how one of her heroes didn't start the way she thought she did.
Chica Mystika "No lo vi venir...well, it's still making sense. You showed to be so strong, someone for other girls to look up to, and you're still the greatest female wrestler in the XHW!"
She continued with her spiel, eyes practically sparkling while fawning over Shannon.

Shannon Marks had sipped her coffee while looking at her "mini churro," like not exactly the same stance as her adopted daughter, but someone close.
Shannon Marks:
Well I was given an option between a scout watching me in handcuffs being escorted to the big house or signing my name on the dotted line. I didn't expect to be elite, but I'm here and I'm excited that I can inspire you and my daughter.
I look at being here more of a blessing in disguise.. |
