ROXANNE PRE-MATCH INTERVIEW

Dok Hendriks has a big smile on his face. He's standing backstage next to the Women's World Champion, Roxanne. She is dressed in her midnight-blue wrestling gear and has her red hair down around her shoulders. Her Tripwire leather jacket is open to show the Women's Belt.

Dok: Helloooo, Roxanne! Tonight... another big title defense. This time against a surging rookie, named Venus Victrix!

Roxanne: You got that right, Dok. (points to the belt) This belt is the most prestigious prize in the sport for women wrestlers. And Venus Victrix, in just her short time, has MORE then earned her chance at supporting this title.

Dok: She bested Heart Attack last TNT to gain this shot.

Roxanne: Taking NOTHING away from Venus, H.A. seemed OFF her game. Her mind wasn't in the match.... and now she's not in THIS one. Venus Victrix IS in this match... and when the final bell rings, she'll KNOW she was in the fight for her life, because her body will be REMINDING her of it for DAYS!

Dok: Speaking of... uh... body..... well.....uh... GOLD-DUST! We heard her remarks on Superstars. What is your reaction to THAT!?

Roxanne: This is a touch situation. I don't want to come up here and bash lifestyles or insult anyone. But let's sum it up as quick as we can. Gold-Dust... that isn't my style. End of story.

Dok: Okay. Now we also heard the recent challenge AGAIN from Womankind. She wants another Exocism Match.... and she doesn't want the title.

Roxanne: I heard her. And like I said.... I mopped the mat with Womankind at WrestleMania IV. And I moved on. I don't know what this 'master' has been feeding her... but it makes her PERSISTENT! WOMANKIND.... the answer is... NO! When I wrestle... I have a responsibility. I am the WORLD Champion... and when I lace up the boots, it's to defend the honor of this title for myself, all of the champions that came before... and for all the thousands of Rock-a-holics across the land. And that means I get the TOP competition in the world... and THAT'S how I want it! Womankind.... you're on your way. You're a FINE athlete... a little STRANGE... but fine. Get in line. Work your way back up to the top..... then we'll clash again.

Dok: She's not going to be too happy about that.

Roxanne: That's a fact. But she'll have to deal with it. Just like Wild Chylde said... there are plenty of deserving wrestlers that are in line for the title shot. I know Womankind said that she doesn't WANT the title.. just me.... but I've got to prepare for the contenders. If she becomes a contender.... I'LL WIPE HER OUR.... AND SEND HER BACK TO HER MASTER AGAIN!!!!

Dok: Venus Victrix!

Roxanne: VENUS.... WELCOME TO THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION!!! HOPE YOU SURVIVE... THE EXPERIENCE!!!!

Dok: LET'S GET OUT TO THE RING!!!

Just then, Corey Major comes in. He speaks quietly with Roxanne, motioning his hand over his head and making a gesture 'down' with it. Roxanne shakes her head. He continues to speak with her as they walk off... and finally.... she agrees with something. Dok looks at the camera and shrugs.
