Know for sure? Of course not. But it’s a reasonable guess. She doesn’t know they hate Sabrina, but everyone knows they want the TV title — they did a promo at the beginning of the show to that effect. Helping them get it is plenty for her to go on in that regard. From her perspective (presuming that it ends up Sabrina vs. a Hell’s Belle in a TV title match):

1) I want to hurt Sabrina. Costing her the belt will do that.
2) I want to be a Hell’s Belle. But right now they don’t care about me. They want the belt? Hmm….
3) Good twofer for me! I screw Sabrina over AND help the Belles get something they want. The former gives me personal satisfaction, the latter helps my career (since the Belles are the top heel stable). It also gets me more noticed by the crowd — maybe they wouldn’t love me, but being hated as a heel is kind of the point, right?

Man, so many great observations, comments and ideas going on. I purposefully have refrained from commenting because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything. Whoooo, Steamboat and Flair has some great matches! I started watching wrestling in 1987 and more often than not, I enjoyed the NWA more than WWF. Steamboat was criminally underused in the WWF.

Where’s Sun? The very next time we see her, it should give an indication what she’s been up to. As far as locker rooms, there’s not enough for everyone to have their own, but some of the ‘bigger’ names have their own locker room. Other girls have to share.

Brooke definitely doesn’t want Sabrina to know how much she dislikes her and she feels that Vincent is still her ace in the hole in getting rid of Sabrina and possibly engendering support from the Administration. Even when Brooke isn’t thinking about the Hell’s Belles, she’s thinking about them but not in the ways you might suspect.

Butâ€¦ if she were to cost Sabrina a match against a Hellâ€™s Belle and in the process ensures that they win the TV title? That would at the very least pique their interest I think.

I’m pretty sure it would!

The point I was trying to make was that Brooke doesn’t know this.

They turned down Brooke because she hadn’t done anything to garner their attention. She wasn’t getting the push Sabrina was, and she hadn’t won any matches in Rival Angels. But… if she were to cost Sabrina a match against a Hell’s Belle and in the process ensures that they win the TV title? That would at the very least pique their interest I think. Remember, it would be done in a manner where the Belles couldn’t help but notice, as it would happen right in front of them. Even better if she does it in a manner like tossing one of the Belles a chair or something to use.

Nothing is set in stone in wrestling. The Belles turned her down flat? Then she has to do something to change their minds about her. Giving up after the first try is a guaranteed failure, and frankly Brooke doesn’t have anywhere to go but up from here.

Only Krystin and Brooke? whereâ€™s the â€œShinobiâ€ â€œLil Dragonâ€ Sun? on Episode 20 I notice theyâ€™re all together in the same locker room.. now Sunâ€™s match is finsh why sheâ€™s not with them?

In the shower?

One thing about all the Brooke-&-Hell’s-Belles-vs.-Sabrina speculations:
At the moment, Brooke has no idea that an open move against Sabrina might endear the Hell’s Belles to her. In episode 31 the Hell’s Belles even offered Sabrina a membership in their team while outright turning down Brooke. So there’s not really any reason for Brooke to expect that antagonizing Sabrina would help her to get the Belles’ favorable oppinion.

Likewise, the Hell’s Belles have no way of knowing about Brooke’s antipathy against Sabrina (and neither does Gabrielle, although she might be in a position to expect such antipathy).
