THE MERCEDES SHOW
BACKSTAGE
BRAELYN MONROE: Ugh it’s been so long since I’ve been on TV, I mean yea I’ve done the reality stuff but interview wise, nah.
Braelyn sighs, staring into the mirror while the hairdresser touches up her hair.
BRAELYN MONROE: But the only way I would do it if she does it and that’s why I’m here and I’m sure she’s going to ask the questions I never thought I would answer but I guess it’s time now.
Braelyn smiles taking one last look in the mirror, she gets up from the chair and makes her ways towards the stage as the scene cuts to the main stage where Mercedes is shown.
MERCEDES: I’ve known this lady for about 2 or 3 years now, I met her during her time in Pride and since then we’ve kept a close friendship. Even though we don’t see each other a lot, when we do it’s like we’ve never missed a beat. Tonight I want to ask her everything I could possibly think of and more, so I hope she’s ready and I hope you watching at home and the people here enjoy tonight’s guest.
Mercedes smiles.
MERCEDES: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome BRAELYN MONROE!
Saved By Khalid plays in the background as Braelyn makes her way out onto the stage, she walks over as hugs Mercedes before sitting down next to her.
MERCEDES: I finally got you here.
BRAELYN MONROE: Only for you.
MERCEDES: Thank you. But this was needed Braelyn, I remember when you first bursted out on the scene you were everywhere. But after that stint with Pride it’s like you kind of fell off or at least disappeared from the world. Slowly you stayed off of Social media and then out of nowhere you popped up on Star’s reality show.
BRAELYN MONROE: Which you of course recommended me for.
MERCEDES: I did.
BRAELYN MONROE: Great experience.
MERCEDES: It was, Star wanted new faces and people she knew would make the show great. A lot of people don’t know your life and I feel like you should be more opened with that especially for the things you do.
BRAELYN MONROE: I like being private, but I also like to have fun. All my friends will tell you I bring nothing but great energy and love when I’m in the room. So when I decided to do the show, I wanted people to see that side of me instead of the Twerker they met when I first stepped out on the scene.
MERCEDES: But dancing is your passion, you’ve never stripped but you’ve appeared in videos and also held dance classes.
BRAELYN MONROE: Dancing is one of my passions yes, i actually have my own dance schools in Vegas and I’m thinking about opening one in LA. As for videos I did a few but not many, it was never really my thing but more of favors to close friends.
Braelyn smiles.
MERCEDES: I’m guessing wrestling is the other passion.
BRAELYN MONROE: I have many passions but yes you can say that. I grew up watching wrestling and I had family that were involved in the sport also. So it was natural for me to want to do it also.
MERCEDES: So why is it we haven’t seen you compete since Pride?
BRAELYN MONROE: Ha.
Braelyn pauses, laughing to herself, she knew the question about Pride was going to come up.
BRAELYN MONROE: You know I don’t know why I haven’t returned to the ring. I guess when I left Pride and what happened there it just kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. And then I saw what my friend Brandon Young went through during his stint in Four Corners and again that just made me not want to wrestle.
MERCEDES: Yes you two started off in Pride together and ask left the company at the same time.
BRAELYN MONROE: Yes, but when we left, he decided to continue his wrestling career while I decided to take a break. I received multiple offers but I just wasn’t ready.
MERCEDES: What’s stopping you now?
BRAELYN MONROE: I think now I want to make cautious decisions, I just don’t want to up and join a company and basically run into the same
Issue again.
MERCEDES: Can you break down and tell us what happened with Pride and your departure?
BRAELYN MONROE: It’s been so long I can’t even remember, all I know was I felt under appreciated, under pushed and just disrespected at one point. In the beginning I was unstoppable and treated with respect but then all of that changed.
MERCEDES: What was the final straw?
BRAELYN MONROE: Disagreement with management but behind the scenes, it wasn’t just one incident it was multiple.
MERCEDES: That’s understandable. But I’ve seen you wrestle and you are phenomenal in the ring, your still young so I don’t think you should let that go to waste.
BRAELYN MONROE: It has been heavy on my mind, but never say never. I appreciate the compliment though, i do miss it sometimes.
MERCEDES: So besides wrestling and the reality show, What else has been going on? Are you dating?
Braelyn chuckles.
BRAELYN MONROE: I wish, but my dating life sucks.
MERCEDES: I find it hard a pretty girl like
yourself has trouble dating.
BRAELYN MONROE: Well believe it girl because I do.
MERCEDES: I want to run down a list of men you have been rumored to be with or date and I want to confirm or deny and if you deny then would you date?
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh gosh I’m scared.
MERCEDES: Jules Erving?
BRAELYN MONROE: For some reason I just knew you were going to say his name first but yes he was my boyfriend.
MERCEDES: Y’all would make a cute couple, what happened?
BRAELYN MONROE: We just kind of drifted apart I guess, it was always some excuse of why we couldn’t spend time together so it was a mutual decision to just leave it alone. He’s a sweet guy though an he’ll always have a special place in my heart.
MERCEDES: Aaron Matthews, I wonder if we’re related since we both have the same last name.
BRAELYN MONROE: You never know but Matthews is such a common last name.
MERCEDES: And were probably all related.
Both Mercedes and the crowd laugh.
BRAELYN MONROE: But no we never dated, we are friends.
MERCEDES: With benefits?
BRAELYN MONROE: It was nothing more, I think we were trying to get to that point but it just never happened.
MERCEDES: What is up with these guys?
BRAELYN MONROE: I don’t know honestly, I think dudes expect for me to be this wild girl off jump but that’s not my personality. I have a wild side but I don’t need to show it 24/7.
MERCEDES: Emilio?
BRAELYN MONROE: Who hasn’t that man dated?
MERCEDES: Me.
BRAELYN MONROE: Emilio is sweet, I would never say anything bad about him. We never officially dated but we had and have a close relationship. If I could honestly believe that Emilio would be 100 percent faithful at all times then I would definitely entertain a relationship with him but he’s a bad boy.
Braelyn smiles blowing a kiss at the camera.
BRAELYN MONROE: That’s my buddy though, he’s another one who holds a special place in my heart. He tells me all the time to get back in the ring and that he would help me train but I just don’t know.
MERCEDES: A lot of people believe in you, you just have to believe in yourself.
BRAELYN MONROE: If the right place comes along then I may entertain the idea, like I said before I miss being in the ring, I just wasn’t going to jump in with just the first contract thrown at me.
MERCEDES: You’re really good friends with Brandon Young aka my baby fathers husband, that sounds so weird to say but anyway how did you two meet?
BRAELYN MONROE: Wow that is weird if you think about it, but I’ve known Brandon since we were kids. We both grew up in Vegas, went to the same school and even skipped classes together. He’s family to me.
MERCEDES: I can see that you two have a great relationship, and you’ve even appeared on a couple episodes of #theLIFELAMIA with him.
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh yes that’s my brother and I would do anything for him. I know at the time he wasn’t getting along with a lot of the cast mates so he needed someone to film with and I told him I would do it.
MERCEDES: Do you plan on doing anymore reality tv?
BRAELYN MONROE: Who knows? If the opportunity presents itself then I wouldn’t mind doing it honestly. But nothing has really caught my eye.
MERCEDES: So Alex J?
BRAELYN MONROE: What bout her?
MERCEDES: One is the guys that I had on my list as a rumored boyfriend was Jeremiah Kingston and I know at one point those two were together. There’s always been rumors that you two have this hatred for each other so I want to know the tea.
Braelyn rolls her eyes.
BRAELYN MONROE: So I guess this is like a two part question, you asking me if I dated Jeremiah Kingston and If I’m beefing with that girl you named.
MERCEDES: Oop the shade.
BRAELYN MONROE: It’s not shade, I just don’t give out free publicity. But to answer your first question Jeremiah and I did date for a short period of time but I Decided to end that because of some stuff I found out.
MERCEDES: What stuff?
BRAELYN MONROE: I won’t say, because I’m not the type to air out people’s business but we just didn’t work out, were still friends though.
MERCEDES: So you have a lingerie line, a lip gloss line and I hear your also painting now?
BRAELYN MONROE: I still have my lingerie line Monroe Risqué, and yes Lyn Cosmetics is officially a brand and has expanded to not only lip gloss, but makeup to. As for the painting that’s something I’ve loved to do since I was a baby, I’m just now showing it off because my friends felt like I should share it with the world.
MERCEDES: The paintings are amazing, you should sell the work.
BRAELYN MONROE: Who says I don’t?
Braelyn smiles giving off a small hair flip, she looks over at the crowd and back to Mercedes.
BRAELYN MONROE: I’m smart and I know I have many talents that could make me money, I pick and choose which one I want to use.
MERCEDES: And there’s nothing is wrong with that. Now this is where I named this week’s HATER OF THE WEEK and you know each week It’s someone different and I’m not holding back tonight.
MERCEDES: Tyrese, baby boy what is going on in that little milk dud head of yours? Lately all I’ve seen you do is cry and cause a scene on social media, now don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with a father wanting to see his child but the way you carrying on and spilling tea is just crazy baby. Then you cried broke but come to find out that was all a lie. Now I don’t know if your seeking attention or not but your looks alone and your acting will keep us watching boo so simmer down a bit before you start loosing fans.
Mercedes smiles winking at the camera.
MERCEDES: Yes he deserved HATER OF THE WEEK because he has been trippin lately. Anyway back to Ms. Monroe, so whenever you decide to get back in the ring, I hope I get front row seats to see this return.
BRAELYN MONROE: Ha, I’ll make sure I get you some tickets that is if the return ever happens.
MERCEDES: I think you should, I’m sure the fans would love to see you in that ring again. Don’t get me wrong we love seeing you dance and make your club appearances but we want to see the Braelyn from Pride but an improved version.
BRAELYN MONROE: I really appreciate that because it makes me feel like people really paid attention to the hard work I put in when I was in the ring.
MERCEDES: I give credit where it’s due and trust you deserve it, which is why I’m pushing so hard for you to get back in the ring. I respect anyone who works hard and I’ve seen the work you’ve put in.
BRAELYN MONROE: Again thank you.
MERCEDES: So what’s next for you?
BRAELYN MONROE: I just want to keep living life the way I Want to, I have a few more goals to accomplish but I can honestly say I happy where I am in life. I hope to snatch a few more acting gigs and maybe travel a little more because there’s still a lot of places in the world I want to visit, other then that I’m fine.
MERCEDES: And?
BRAELYN MONROE: Oh yes and get back in the ring one last time, ha I know that’s what you wanted to hear.
MERCEDES: Yes I did babygirl, But Braelyn This has been great and I appreciate you stopping by again.
BRAELYN MONROE: Anytime, I’m grateful you even asked me to be here.
MERCEDES: Of course, and I want to thank the audience for tuning in. Join us next week for another explosive show!
Mercedes waves and blows a kiss at the audience and camera. All Things Go by Nicki Minaj plays as the credits begin to roll and the scene fades to black.
