Camera fades in as UWL Report Abby Joseph is trying to catch up with new UWL Television Champion, Daron Smythe, who looks like he's trying to exit the building quickly, rolling luggage in hand, title belt over his shoulder, and talking on his phone to someone unknown...
Abby: Daron! Daron! Can I get you for a moment before you leave?
Daron: *indignant at being interrupted from his phone call* Is it important? I have places to be...
Abby: Are you kidding me? This is a much different tone and amount of respect you've shown over the past several months...
Daron: *talking to the person on the phone* Hey...can I call you back? *clicks the end call button and turns back to Abby Joseph* If we are talking about respect, how about you respect someone when they're on the phone, willya?
Abby: Regardless, tonight seems to be a... shift in your behavior, your mannerisms, your attitude...
Daron: Can't you see what's going on here, Abby? The winds of change are blowing. We are back to being the UWL! The energy around here in completely different, revitalized, reenergized. Tonight was about self-preservation. Tonight was about establishing myself and moving forward in the pack. People are climbing up the ladder around here. There's a new World Champion, and you know what that means? A brand new set of challengers...
Abby: Are you calling out new UWL World Champion, Billy Danielson?
Daron: Oh, not...yet. While I'm still relatively new here, I've been here since July and I can see the lay of the land. If you try to climb too quickly you can get a little slap on the wrist. I'll bide my time. It's Robb Daniels time now. Can he make Billy Danielson's storybook tale have a nightmare ending? I can't see it happening that quickly, but it wouldn't surprise me. No, I'm going to sit back and watch the story unfold. If it isn't Robb Daniels, you know Caleb Hart's buddy Anthony Cross is going to be in the mix. Oh, no, it's not the right time...yet.
Abby: Well, if that's not the play, then what is next? Have you heard UWL officials are talking to Nick Danger about a potential rematch?
Daron: A rematch...a...REMATCH?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Nick Danger shouldn't have even been Television Champion in the first place! Did he even pin the champion to win? Huh?!
Abby: No, but the rules of a three way match state...
Daron: So you and everyone else is quick to call me out on my behavior, yet Nick Danger didn't even defeat the champion to win the title? That sounds very, very selective to me. Typical UWL good ol boys club stuff...
Abby: How can you even say that considering you piledrove Nick Danger on the floor, blindsiding him?!
Daron: Are you serious? That four way match was MINE, but as Nick Danger is about to be tossed out, he grabs me in desperation and pulls me over the top rope with him. Hell, he's lucky all he got that night was a piledriver!
Abby: And what about tonight, huh? He had you beat in the center of the ring...
Daron: That's interesting that you say that, Abby. Who did the referee count three for? Whose hand did the referee raise at the end of the match? WHO IS THE NEW UWL TELEVISION CHAMPION, ABBY?!
Abby: Well, you...but...you used, a chain...
Daron: Wait a minute! Did you see, that just moments before that, Nick Danger attempted to get himself disqualified by hitting the referee!
Abby: HEY! You pushed Nick Danger into that referee...
Daron: I did no such thing! I merely evaded Nick Danger's attack! Look, I understand I'm not part of the "golden era" of the UWL and not one of the "favorite sons" around here, so a lot of people are upset, but there's something you and everyone else around here is going to have to get used to. I am #1 Daron Smythe. I am the UWL Television Champion. My destiny? Is to be the UWL World Heavyweight Champion, the only variable is time! Now this interview is OVER!
