The scene opens to the backstage area where Reo Raijin is taping his wrist as he prepares for his match tonight with his partner CJ Phoenix and his opponents Richard McCoy and Sierra Silver. Nate Burleson walks up to Raijin with a microphone and a camera guy.
Nate Burleson: Hey, Raijin you got a few minutes.
Raijin: Nah, Nate I got to get ready for my match. I’ve got to concentrate on getting to Turmoil.
Nate Burleson: Well, actually this is about Turmoil.
His attention now peaked Raijin looks up and actually listens to Nate.
Raijin: What do you mean it’s about Turmoil? That isn’t going to be set until after my match tonight.
Nate Burleson: Well, there’s some rumors swirling around backstage that Soldado Fortuna wants you in the ring at Turmoil.
Raijin again begins taping his wrist loosing interest in what Nate has to say.
Raijin: I’ve already beat him.
Nate Burleson: Yeah, true, but rumors are saying he wants you in the ring even if you win tonight.
Raijin: Why would I do that? I’ll have the shot at the Cruiserweight Tag Team titles that both I and CJ Phoenix want. I don’t need a match with Soldado.
Nate Burleson and Raijin both turn and look as Soldado Fortuna walks into the locker room.
Richardson: This isn't about what you may or may not need Reo...this is about what we want. You and I both know Soldado had you beat until you had to resort to the cheapest trick in the book, the old mist to the eyes. You had to blind my client in order to beat him...and we're just supposed to accept that loss? Not a chance.
Now of course you don't have to accept another match with us Reo but all that proves in my eyes is you know you got a fluke victory and you're terrified of the prospect of facing Soldado again.
Raijin laughs.
Raijin: Fluke? I could beat Soldado Fortuna, win the Cruiserweight Tag Titles, come backstage, wipe off the sweat, and then beat Jonathan Cade Keeton in the parking lot. If he wants a match at Turmoil he needs to go look elsewhere.
Raijin goes to get up and leave but Soldado blocks the way and Victoria closes the door.
Richardson: It sure would be a shame if something were to happen that stops you from making it to Turmoil, something like, say, a freak lead pipe to the knee...
Victoria pulls a lead pipe that she'd been hiding behind her back and hands it to Soldado.
Richardson: So do we have our match, Raijin or are you going to be watching Turmoil from the comfort of your hospital bed?
Raijin looks at the pipe, then at Soldado, then at Victoria. Finally, a smile creeps over his face.
Raijin: You've just made the biggest mistake of your little AW careers. Big boy and his lady wants a match that bad. Okay, let's do this and I'll send you back home to the slums of Tijuana and your daddies money.
Victoria smiles.
Richardson: See, that wasn't so hard, was it?
Richardson and Soldado walk out of the room.
Raijin turns back to Nate Burleson.
Raijin: Looks like I'll be wrestling at Turmoil in two matches. Baby boy Keeton is going to be getting that status that he thinks he needs me to have. I might just have to go after his cruiserweight title if he's actually capable of winning it. And then you know, dominate, the entire division.
Raijin laughs and then walks away.
Nate Burleson: Hey, Raijin you got a few minutes.
