The show opens scanning across the arena.
Cliff Morris - Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to UWL!!!!
The camera cuts across the arena once more.
Cliff Morris - This is UWL 26 and tonight we kick off the 2022 Coronation Cup!! Joining me as always, Logan Acker.
Logan Acker - Tonight we kick off the Coronation Cup and we will find out who'll take that climb and grab the cup. Will be someone claiming a shot at the UWL Championship or will it be the current ROA Champion Jackson Burnside. We will find out.
Cliff Morris - I am excited to kick off a new era with the kick off to one of the most historic tournaments in all of wrestling! Before we go to the ring let's hear from the Horizon Champion Billy Danielson!!
"I'm in a very special position here..."
The voice of The Franchise rings out, as we fade into the scene. Billy Danielson stands before a UWL banner with his UWL Television title thrown over his shoulder.
Billy Danielson - "Tonight, I am not just a wrestler. I am not just a champion. I am not just the future winner of the Coronation Cup... I am the flag bearer that gets to usher in this new era."
Billy snaps his fingers and a loud pop is heard above him. Suddenly, a UWL banner unrolls to cover the old UWL one. He also drops his UWL Television title to the ground, and a stagehand hands him his new UWL Horizon Championship. Danielson looks behind him and at his new title with a smirk.
Billy Danielson - "They could have chosen Jackson Burnside. They could have chosen Caleb Hart. However, they chose me. The powers that be chose me, because they knew that whether it's Universal Wrestling League, UWL, UWL, or any other name you can throw onto my shoulders, I'd carry it proudly! They knew they could count on The Franchise to make the first UWL match mean something, because that's what I represent... New Horizons!"
Danielson pats his RoA Horizon Championship with pride.
Billy Danielson - "But technically, tonight isn't about THIS Horizon... is it?"
He pauses for a moment.
Billy Danielson - "Tonight is about tradition. More so, it's about breaking and redefining traditions."
Despite the the enthusiasm and pride coming from Danielson, he gets a little somber.
Billy Danielson - "This is my 4th Coronation cup. The first one was back in 2016, where I swept Hall of Fame names like Craig Williams and Shawn Stevens... and Robot. It was my rookie year, but I had just won my first tile and I was riding high. I may not have won the tournament, but beating those names would build the confidence I needed to become the wrestler I became today."
Billy laughs because there's a bit of historical irony with his first Coronation Cup.
Billy Danielson - "I know we aren't supposed to talk about that tournament, and I understand that, but I wish it was my other 2 Coronation Cup runs that could get forgotten instead. I wish there were alternate version of those tournaments held elsewhere, because those runs were horrific. Two straight years of someone interfering in my matches to cost me my shot at the Coronation Cup in the very first round. It's almost pathetic."
Billy shakes his head. He's never been in a Coronation Cup that hadn't been marred by controversy, but this year was going to be different. He could feel it. A new company name, a new look, a new format. It was all the makings of a great run for Billy Danielson.
Billy Danielson - "That all changes tonight though. The tradition of my Coronation Cup runs getting ruined by others is over. The tradition of Billy Danielson not winning this damn tournament is over. Tonight is about change and whether Sage Jenkins likes it or not, she's going to be the first victim of it."
