The scene opens up inside an empty Madison Square Garden. The ringside seats are all out and set where they’re supposed to be. The ring’s assembled but the canvas and the ropes aren’t on quite yet. In fact it’s eerily quiet in here. Almost as if everyone’s on a union break or something. We see someone sitting in a chair at ringside. It’s Jonny Cedrone. He’s wearing a suit with the top button or two not buttoned and is holding the US Championship over his shoulder. He’s just sitting there. Staring at the ring.
“Madison Square Garden. The Mecca Arena.”
Jonny slowly looks around the entire arena then looks back at the ring. After a moment he looks down at his Championship and gives it a loving pat before clutching the Title in his arms.
“The amount of historical wrestling moments that have happened in this building.
Wow! In a couple of nights AW invades this place in the Go-Home episode of Monday Night Clash. A historical night before an even more historical night.
Evolution 6!
At Evolution 6 I defend The People’s US Championship against three individuals that will stop at nothing to pry this Championship from our possession. Dionysus, Jesse Lee and Joule Ortiz. Three formidable opponents. Three hungry individuals. Three wolves on the prowl.
But before then we’re all involved in a test of sorts. Some of us are on the same sides. My tag team consists of Dionysus and Doc Holiday while on the opposite side of the ring stands Jesse Lee, Joules Ortiz and Ellie Austin.
Ellie Austin and Doc Holiday have their own heat with one another. With such a fight scheduled for Evolution 6 between Austin and Holiday, their focus will be on one another so they’re not a factor in the story between the rest of us. Now I’m not saying that Ellie Austin is a pushover by any stretch! I personally believe that she has the future and the wrestling world by the balls! In fact I would suspect that this is only the beginning of a loooong story between the two as both of them have bright futures ahead of them here in AW and I’m sure their stories will intertwine way more often down the road.
But as for Dionysus, Jesse Lee, Joules Ortiz and myself. This story has unfolded so many times throughout history. There’s a huge match coming up at a pay-per-view so let’s throw all of the competitors in the ring to watch everything breakdown before our very eyes. And with the situation being as volatile as it is, I don’t believe we’ll come up short of absolute carnage by the end of the night Monday night.”
By this time the camera has zoomed in as close as it wants to on Cedrone. His grimace is that of acknowledgement and contentment at the moment.
“The question is though, at what point will it all go south? At what point will things go from people on their respective sides have the same goal, the same mission, to having a vendetta? Will we all get along long enough to get the job done THEN everyone shows what they’ve got? Or will the match turn to chaos before any harmony can be shown?
I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I don’t have a target on my back. I know I do. I know that at least three of those people in that ring with me on Monday night have their sights on me and only me. I’d even venture to say that even though Ellie and Doc have their focus on each other, they too will have something to say. Everybody wants to make their presence known! I get that. I respect that! Do what you have to do! I know that I constantly have to have my head on a swivel! No question about that!
But I’m also not going to sit here and tell you that I’m only focused on the stories behind this match. I’m also here to win. I’m here to show those individuals in that ring Monday night and everyone across the globe that I’m a worthy US Champion; that I deserve to carry this precious Championship. And with that I am here to win this match and take that momentum into Evolution 6 where I will successfully defend her against all odds!
So Dionysus and Doc, obviously this is the first time that we have tagged together and more than likely the only time it’ll ever happen, but no matter what our differences are, if you’re about that win at all, the only way we can get it is to get on the same page. If after the match you want to show me who you really are, then be my guest! But before that final bell rings the three of us have to be a team in order to get that win because standing across the ring from us are three individuals that can and probably will get along long enough to get the win.
Well, two individuals and Jesse Lee.
I mean c’mon. Jesse Lee? Being a team player? Who are you trying to kid?! If she had it her way, she’d annihilate everyone in this match, including her tag partners! Ellie and Joule, Jesse would probably eat you alive before she’d even come close to being your friend in this match.
I dunno. The more I talk about it the more fun this match is sounding. The mystery. The drama. The suspense. It’s like a cinematic masterpiece! To everyone involved in this match I hate to spoil the outcome for you all but here it goes…”
Jonny slowly stands up and drapes the Championship over the guardrail on which he leans on and stares deep into the camera
“No matter what kind of shenanigans happen here on the 12th, I will stand tall and will still be YOUR Champion. Today. Tomorrow. Forever.”
The scene fades to black
