Brooklyn Jericho yelled at Jake Hager as the two watched her father's ten-minute match against Jungle Boy. On-screen, the Inner Circle was built to be obnoxious heels, and she was no different. When her father was struggling, she interfered.

Well, she interfered in the form of Jake Hager, seeing that the guy was huge.

When Luchasaurus neutralized her big friend, the blonde was left to pick up the pieces. She yelled in frustration as she stepped up to the dinosaur, knowing exactly how crazy and delusional it was, before Marko Stunt ran in front of her and yelled for her to leave the duo alone.

Brooklyn smirked, her confidence oozing. Over the few months AEW has been on air, the crowd had taken a liking to her character though she hadn't yet wrestled on television yet.

That was to come.

"You better back up, boy," she warned, loud enough for the cameras to hear as the crowd gasped.

When the small boy remained still and unwavering, Brooklyn hit him with an elbow to the face before picking him up and body slamming him into the floor. The pop from the crowd made her laugh before Aubrey kicked all of the extras out of the match for the remainder of the ten minutes.

Brooklyn argued with the female referee, but was forced to the back where she fist-bumped the boy she threw to the ground and blushed at her friends who cheered for her. Angel ruffled her hair as he side-hugged her, making her laugh as she hugged him back.

Angel and Mike had become her brothers and bodyguards through their travels. They were hard-edged but clearly cared for her as she did them. They got along great with Jon, whom Brooke had been hiding behind since her birthday two months prior.

Yes, she kissed Tyson. No, they hadn't talked about it.

Brooklyn Irvine had been so adamant on her feelings for him that she lost him. He couldn't even look at her anymore. In her head, all she could think was that Tyson Smith was disappointed in himself for stooping so low.

Was she really that bad?

"Brooke's been beating up these guys so bad she's growing hair on her chest," Sammy joked, causing the group to laugh.

She smiled, but deep down she felt dirty, ugly—her eyes found Tyson's and he wasn't smiling; he was staring blankly at her shirt. The shorter girl sighed, looking away from Tyson and towards an amused Jon.

"Just wait until these guys start swinging back," he warned, knowing he was going to give her a taste of her own medicine until Tony denied it. They understood his worries since the company was so new, but they knew the segment would have stolen the show. Jon continued, "come on, Brooke, Renee's waiting for our call."
