The Kid has a shot?

Abby Joseph: Hey, UWL fans! Abby Joseph here with an Instagram exclusive. I'm standing next to the one and only Nova Jackson, who's got a few words for our current TWN Champion, Cyrus Rinaldi.


Nova Jackson: Thanks, Abby. [pauses, smirks] Ladies and gentlemen, let’s talk about our so-called “champion,” Cyrus Rinaldi. Cyrus, you love to remind us of your twenty-year career. But it took you all this time to finally get a taste of gold. Makes you wonder why, doesn’t it?


[Nova starts pacing slightly, maintaining eye contact with the camera.]


Nova Jackson: If we took you at your word, you’re supposed to be Superman or something, the unstoppable force. I almost got sick listening to you go on about deserving a shot at the UWL World Championship. Why? Because you beat the current champion once? What have you done lately besides making a joke of that title just holding it?


[He pauses and scratches the back of his head while slightly looking up at the camera.]


Nova Jackson: Cyrus, you blame everyone else for your shortcomings—promoters, younger wrestlers, even the fans. But let’s be real. You’ve been held back not by a grand conspiracy, but because everyone knows the truth about you. You’re a champion now, yet all you do is worry about others' opportunities. Are you starting to see a pattern here?


[Nova points to the camera, his expression focused, poised.]


Nova Jackson: You disrespect that championship by complaining about other divisions. That championship has been around almost longer than I have. It was fought for in my own state, I was just but a year old when that happened. I bet that also pisses you off, that someone as young and new to the company as I am, getting a shot at your championship. I know you won’t show face, pretending like it doesn’t bother you, like you’ve done most of your career.


[Nova steps closer to Abby, addressing her and the camera.]


Nova Jackson: You claim to be a smart competitor, but you’re just scared. Scared that without your underhanded tactics, you’d be exposed as the fraud you are. That’s why you’ve spent your career in bingo halls and VFWs instead of earning respect in the big leagues. I represent every wrestler who grinds day in and day out, not for fame, but for the love of this sport. I fight with integrity, heart, and respect for the fans and my fellow competitors—something you clearly know nothing about, Cyrus.


[Nova’s tone grows more intense as he addresses the camera directly, his eyes burning with determination.]


Nova Jackson: You see wrestling is more than just a job to me. It's my passion, my life. Every bump, every bruise, every moment in that ring is a testament to my dedication. I’ve watched you coast by, relying on shortcuts and cheap tactics. But that ends now. You’re looking at a new era, an era of true competition and respect. When I step into that ring with you, I’m not just fighting for myself. I’m fighting for everyone who believes in the purity of this sport, for every fan who cheers from the heart, for every wrestler who puts in the work without cutting corners.


[Nova steps back, taking a deep breath, his eyes still locked on the camera. He shakes his head, a look of genuine disappointment on his face.]


Nova Jackson: You can mock me, you can underestimate me, but when the bell rings, none of that will matter. What will matter is who has the heart, the will, and the skill to stand tall. And Cyrus, I promise you, it’s not going to be you. I’m coming for that title, and I’m coming with everything I’ve got. No tricks, no gimmicks, just pure wrestling.


[He pauses, letting his words sink in.]


Nova Jackson: So, keep running your mouth and playing your games. When we meet in that ring, no amount of cheating or trash-talking will save you. I’ll show you and everyone else that real champions are made from hard work, not hollow words. I’m fully prepared to make this ugly, so, get ready, Cyrus. Your time as champion is about to run out.


[He steps even closer to the camera, his voice dropping to a near whisper, full of intensity.]


Nova Jackson: So get ready, Cyrus. Your reign is over. The era of Nova Jackson is just beginning. And that’s not just a guarantee. It’s inevitable.


Abby Joseph: Wow, strong words from Nova Jackson. This is going to be one match you don’t want to miss. Stay tuned, UWL fans!
