The scene begins with Evander Cage in a boiler room at an unknown destination. The mystery cameraman gives him the signal that the camera is now recording as Evander stares into the lens with a serious look on his face.
Evander Cage: Wembley Stadium. Action Wrestling. The biggest event thus far in this company. I’ve been given an opportunity to become the number one contender for the Television Championship. A title that I came very close to winning before. I have to admit that my heart hasn’t been in the ring as much over the past month, the passion hasn’t been there and I have been questioning whether or not this is something I want to continue doing? But something amazing happened. I saw the light and the light showed me the way. There has been a transformation—a renewing of my mind, a healing of my broken heart, a feeling that I complete again and a reassurance that this is my destiny. You see I am coming to London, England, I am coming to the greatest stadium in the world and I am coming to crown myself the number one contender for the Television Title and when I become the number one contender I will go on and become the Television Champion and when I win that title there is not a man or woman on this planet that will take it from me.
Evander pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath before continuing to speak again.
Evander Cage: We can sit and trade words with each other, Kennedy Matthews, go back an fourth over who is the better technical wrestler because that’s what the people want isn’t it? They want to feel hyped! Truth is I know what I am capable of doing inside the ring and sure I talk a lot but I am prepared to back it up. You think you can enter that ring and take me out? End my career? You can’t. You can try but it won’t happen. You see many, many people in the past have tried to do exactly that and I will give them credit they came close but I still stand. The only way I’ll be taken out is if I tie a rope around my neck and do the job myself. But that’s not going to happen. Because I found the light. On Sunday in front of eighty thousand people, they too will see the light and feel what I am feeling right now. IT WILL BE AMAZING. You sense it? How about you, Apex? Do you feel it? Do you feel it calling your name? We’re all very special.
Evander reaches into his pocket and pulls out a Queen of Hearts card. He stares at it for a moment before slowly licking it and then proceeding to tear the card and throwing the pieces on the floor.
Evander Cage: Kennedy Matthews is the Queen of Wrestling. Great. I am the King of Wrestling. This Sunday I will be crowned the King. Don’t get me wrong, I ain’t an idiot. I know what talent is and Kennedy Matthews you’re very talented. You’re one of the best in this company. I know you’re going to bring everything you have. I LOVE YOUR PASSION. It’s really moving. I have a tear in my eye when I hear about the blood you bled and the sweat you sweat and how professional wrestling runs through your veins and your mother being apart of the business pregnant with little baby Kennedy. Sweet Kennedy Matthews. Very touching. You think I lucked into this industry though? Maybe Apex did. Apex with his size and power and his impressive background in sports and a body of the Greek Adonis. Action Wrestling management were drooling over him. We don’t have to like to each other, sweet Kennedy, but don’t ever doubt my passion and what I have sacrificed to have a career in this business. It’s been twelve years and I am still here. All the ups and downs and I am still here. This is my time. My moment. I’ve been chosen for glory and nothing will get in my way at receiving that. It’s my purpose to win this Sunday. Whoever is holding that Television Championship after Turmoil, then you better be prepared that I will be coming to obtain what is rightfully mine and I don’t care if it’s Bishop or Chase Jackson who has the belt around their waists, it will only be temporary. I am the King, I have the light guiding me and on Sunday everyone at Wembley Stadium and everyone watching around the world will witness a miracle.
Evander stops speaking and stares at the camera for a moment in silence before the scene comes to an end.
