“Of course, yes.” Gordon nodded, “But just so you understand, Fiona, it will probably be some few weeks before Defiant Dream gets a tag team match.”

“Why?” Kendra asked impulsively.

“Narrative reasons.”

“‘N-Narrative reasons’?”

“Let me explain,” Gordon replied, raising his hands in front of his face in an open-palm gesture, “Fiona was a central figure throughout much of August. Of five shows this past month she featured in [i]three[/i], one of which was a qualifying triple threat cage match for the brands’ first ever championship fight. Fiona… missed her shot in Chicago. Just like how Elena Zamora did in Las Vegas a few days ago.

“As a member of production,” Gordon smiled, “it makes no sense to toss her - or Elina - back out there right on the heels of missing such a golden opportunity. No, it’s better to leave the fans wondering. To make them [i]crave[/i] seeing their favorite bounce back someday soon in the wake of one such as Raven Veyn seizing power. ‘What happens now? Is this the end? Where, oh, where has Elina or Fiona gone after missing the gravy train?’”

“I sometimes forget about the performative aspect.” Kendra mumbled.

“And that’s why you are not in production!” Gordon snickered, clapping his hands back together against the top of his desk.
