Backstage for the first time in months, we see Billy Danielson standing in front of a UWL banner. Coming off a big win at Starrzone and ultimately finishing off his 5 Year Anniversary Celebration Open Challenge undefeated, Danielson had quite a bit of momentum going into tonight. Knowing this, he had that arrogant smirk on his face as he looks into the camera.
Billy Danielson - Everyone already knows who I am. Everyone already knows who I beat. Everyone already knows I am the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! So ideally, I don’t have to say much.
Danielson rolls his shoulders, showing off his massive traps and deltoids. A bit more flexing is just further proof that he’s an arrogant son of a bitch. He goes back to his promo though because statements cannot be made by flexing.
Billy Danielson - When you look at this roster, you don’t see a lot of GREATS. You see a few goods, A LOT of mediocres, but that’s about that. James Edwards isn’t on my level, I proved that a few weeks ago. Robb Daniels isn’t on my level, I’ve proved that for years by running his company under his nose. Arch Stanton, Something Burnside, The Midcard Union known as Pheonix, I could go and run through the whole roster verbally because NOBODY is on my level.
A pause and a bit of a scoff from Danielson would make the transition in his statement.
Billy Danielson - But I won’t do that because I’m going to run through them all PHYSICALLY and throw everyone out of the ring, just like we knew I would.
That arrogant smirk on his face just grows on the face of Danielson.
Billy Danielson - I am the only person here that has proven time and time again to be a true FRANCHISE face of every company I walk into, and my homecoming to UWL will be no different. Cassidy Holiday or whatever her name is had a great woohoo moment, and I’m sure it made everyone feel all warm and fuzzy, but after I win this Rumble tonight, I’m going to be the strike of 12 for the little cinderella, because NOT EVEN SHE IS ON MY LEVEL and I WILL be UWL Champion.
One final pause for dramatic effect, because he’s a douche liken that…
Billy Danielson - That all starts tonight, as I beat the entire roster, and start making sure that things… ARE ABOUT TO GET GREAT!!!
He pops for himself for a second, and internally, you could feel AJ Knight pop for the old catchphrase back.
Billy Danielson - THAT’S RIGHT I’M BRINGING THE CATCHPHRASE BACK!!! GOD, IT IS GREAT TO BE ME!!!
Big laugh from Danielson, as he walks away in a cocky strut.

Starrzone 12-12-20
Fury turns and gets Azalo up off the mat and sends him into the ropes. He leans over throwing him with a back body drop. Azalo grimaces in pain on the mat. Fury goes to make a tag but he gets it by Nizbel cutting him off keeping him from making a tag. Nizbel throws him across the ring. Fury lays against the ropes. Taylor comes in and Azalo comes up hitting him. They lock up falling to the mat. James Mason gets up onto the ring apron. Lotte grabs his legs and jerks him down the gold club flies into the air. Azalo has the golf club as the referee is distracted by Taylor and Nizbel. Azalo covers Fury, the referee counts.

The viewers are transported to Hotel California’s garden. Lotte appears, dancing and twirling around. She notices the viewers watching and comes to a stop, waving at everyone.
“Hello, my lovelies,” she says in her sing-song tone, “It is SO GOOD to see all of you again. Come! Come! I have something to show you.”
Lotte dances away and leads the viewers a short way, deeper into the garden. She arrives at a well. Even in the darkness it’s clear there’s something wrong about this place. Nothing grows around the well, in fact a wide ring of ground is barren all the way around it.
Lotte dances up to the well and twirls around it, singing, “Come closer, my lovelies. COME CLOSER. There is no need to be frightened.”
She places her hands upon the well and it begins to glow. Bending over it, Lotte looks inside.
“Oh Azalo,” she calls into the well.
“Azalo.”
“Oh Nizbel.”
“Nizbel.”
Lotte lets out a giggle and claps her hands with delight. She twirls around the well one more time and then leans back over the well.
“Oh my pretty, pretty boys. Won’t you come out and play?”
“Play!”
“Play!”
Two sets of hands reach up and grab onto the ledge of the well. Lotte takes a step back and claps her hands once more as two grotesque men come out, covered in tattoos and faces a sickly green. In their mouths hang the UWL Untited States Tag Team Titles, which are covered in a green ooze that appears to be dripping from their mouths. Lotte beckons them to her side and the duo climbs out of the well and crawls to her side.
“It has come to my attention that I have not formally introduced my pretty little boys to all of you. How rude of me. How VERY RUDE indeed. Allow me to introduce Azalo…”
“Azalo.”
“...and Nizbel...”
“Nizbel.”
“..., the Herkmen.”
“Herkmen.”
“Herkmen.”
She strokes their heads and giggles.
“And they are your new United States Tag Team Champions. Isn’t that lovely?”
She takes the titles from the Herkmen and shows them to the viewers.
“In anyone else’s hands, these championships are little more than trophies, but in the hands of my pretty, pretty boys, these become talismans of power.”
“Power!”
“Power!”
“You have all taken us too lightly, believing that Kalidah…”
“Kalidah!”
“Kalidah!”
The Herkmen cringe at the sound of his name and hide behind Lotte. She doesn’t appear to notice, or even care, but continues speaking.
“You believe that Kalidah and I are just ‘characters’, merely created to play mindgames and nothing more. Soon though, my lovelies, you will realize just how wrong you are. These talismans in my hands, they are just the beginning. We have so much more planned for all of you. SO MUCH MORE!”
She hands the title belts back to Azalo and Nizbel and strokes their cheeks before turning back to the viewers.
“Tonight in the Universal Rumble, expect chaos…”
“Chaos!”
“Chaos!”
“...and destruction. The winner receives a future World Title match, and while Kalidah might not care for titles, even he realizes what a power talisman that championship is. So tonight, we will do WHATEVER it takes to win and fulfill our next part of our plans.”
Lotte signals to Azalo and Nizbel to rise to their feet and stand at her sides.She starts making motitions with her hands and red mist begins to rise up around them.
“A word of advise, my lovelies. Beware the red mist.”
She starts laughing, menacingly, and the Herkmen echo her as the mist envelopes them and they all disappear. When the mist clears though, Kaildah is standing there and stares at the viewers.
“RUN!”

Aiden Prince is seen standing in front of a backdrop that has the UWL banner. Prince is already in his wrestling gear, consisting of long pants that fade from black to white with gold trim around his crown logo and the words “Legacy” and “Feature Attraction”. As always, Prince is flanked by his bodyguard and hired muscle, Desmond Black. Just off to the right, clutching a microphone in hand and giving a look of disdain to Aiden is the backstage interviewer, Abby Joseph.
Abby Joseph: I’m here with Aiden Prince, who...
Aiden interrupts her.
Aiden Prince: First, eyes up here, I see them wandering already. Secondly, I know there’s been this tension between us, so I brought a peace offering.
Aiden holds his hand back and snaps his fingers. Desmond produces a black t-shirt that Aiden unfolds and holds out for the camera. The shirt has the crown logo of Aiden Prince, and reads “The Featured Attraction” across the top, then below it says: “Undefeated”.
Aiden Prince: Just for you, I figured I’d give you the distinct honor of introducing my new t-shirt for the world to see. That right there, before the end of this show, will be the top selling t-shirt of 2021 here in UWL.
Abby takes the shirt, looks it over, then curls her nose.
Abby Joseph: Undefeated?
Aiden Prince: That’s right, I’m UWL’s only undefeated superstar.
Abby Joseph: But, you’re not undefeated. You were beat by James Edwards...
Aiden Prince: I wasn’t beaten. It was a technicality that I’ve had stricken from my flawless record.
Abby Joseph: A lot of people are saying that you’re dodging James Edw...
Aiden interrupts.
Aiden Prince: Next question.
Abby Joseph: I think the people want this one answered.
Aiden Prince: I refuse to talk about Jamie Edmonds...
Abby Joseph: James Edwards...
Aiden Prince: That’s what I said, I refuse to talk about Jamie Edmonds, so either move on, or this interview is over, and once again you’ve wasted both of our time.
Abby lets out a frustrated sigh, rolls her eyes, but moves on.
Abby Joseph: Fine, but let’s say in this fictional little world you are truly undefeated, you’re not the only superstar that’s undefeated.
Aiden Prince: Are you insane? Name one other superstar here who’s undefeated.
Abby Joseph: What about Jake Mason...
Aiden Prince: Jake Mason? Is that supposed to be a joke?
Abby Joseph: He’s undefeated.
Aiden Prince: Maybe, but is he a superstar? A star maybe, but there’s nothing super about him. Next question, this line of questioning bores me.
Abby lets out a more audible sigh, this time really catching the look of Prince, who scowls at her for a moment, but then transitions it into a smile.
Abby Joseph: Fine, what about this Universal Rumble, how do you feel you fair in this?
Aiden Prince: Finally, a good question. I knew there was a reporter hidden in there somewhere. How do I fair? This battle royal is all but mine. It’s such a certainty, there’s been an online petition that has millions of signatures already to force UWL to officially rename this match the “Aiden Prince Rumble of Greatness”...it’s just a matter of my lawyers and UWL’s lawyers working on the trademark. This match is all about showcasing my abilities and giving the people a chance to see what true greatness is. It’s also a way for UWL to fix the mistake they made when the failed to book me in the main event at Starrzone.
Abby Joseph: I saw that petition. It was started by Ty Richie and only had about...
Aiden Prince: It doesn’t matter who started it. What matters is it happened! I don’t think you get it. They can line up this whole roster against me in the Aiden Prince Rumble of Greatness, and I’ll put every single one of them over the top rope. I’ve already shown I can toss anyone over that rope with ease, just ask Jamie Edmonds. It’s my birthright to be at the front of the line. It’s my place in the natural order of things to carry, not only this company, but the entire wrestling world, to heights it’s never experienced. Anyone, or anything that tells you any different...they can answer to the big man back here behind me.
He nods to Desmond Black.
Aiden Prince: Now once again, you’ve spoiled this interview with all the wrong questions and you’re constant “I wanna lick your abs” eyes and I don’t feel comfortable in this interview anymore...this is over...
Aiden walks past her, with Desmond behind him on his heels. As they step out of the camera shot, Abby looks directly into the camera.
Abby Joseph: What...a....douche.....

Bryan Moltres, Dave West, Jeremy Riggs, Matt Ryker, Shawn Leland make their way down to the ring. They all stand in the middle of the ring.
Bryan Moltres - I will cut right to the chase. It seems like we ruffles some feathers here in UWL at Starrzone.
The crowd looks on.
Bryan Moltres - We finally after months of being here got people talking about us. We had to become five bodies that thought with a singular thought to get all you people to talk about each one of us.
The crowd boos. Moltres waves his arms for them to shut up.
Jeremy Riggs - At Starrzone we talked to one person, Lauren Parker. Mrs. Parker you are just like us. These people around here don't respect you. They don't give two shits about you. Do they know that you're a former two time Television champion? No because none of these so called newbies take the time to check out anything that deals with the history of this place. They sit in their own worlds concerned about their so called, "Push" and their time in front of the camera to five a damn about anything that happened before they got here. They want to talk about what they see as oversights as it pertains to this place. Do you people want me to go on.
The crowd starts booing even louder.
Dave West - As my brothers in arms have said. No one in this place gave a damn about us until we became one and told the truth. It's the truth because we all know it. Do you want us to start naming names to get more attention? Huh? Do ya?
West hands the microphone off to Leland.
Shawn Leland - No don't do that to them West. These idiots couldn't take have the truth thrown up in their faces. They can't hand reality.
Leland looks at Ryker who has his hand stretched out for the microphone.
Matt Ryker - Now we've finally came to me. Poor Matt Ryker who's lost his way. First he turns his back on his tag team partner and former best friend. Now he's standing beside a group of misfits who ramble on and on about newbies who can't do their research about the all powerful and great UWL. It's facts that we're based around. The fact is that newbies walked in off the street from nowhere and think their owed the world. They think their opinions matter. First do your research about UWL. Second get in line behind all of us and we'll show you how things are done around here. All you people asking, "What's our mission?" "What's objective?" Here's what you need to know. We are the Phoenix and we will rise above!
They all stand arm and arm with their arms in the air as the fans boo them.

Backstage, AJ Knight approaches the tumbler cage where they draw the numbers for the Universal Rumble. AJ sticks his hand in looking intently as he rifles through. He pulls out a number as suddenly the lights begin to flicker behind him. Eli Buchanan appears and peaks over AJ’s shoulder.
ELI BUCHANAN
Hey AJ! How’s it going? Ol’ buddy, ol’ pal. What number did you get?
AJ gives Eli a tense glare.
AJ KNIGHT
I haven’t looked yet. Where’s your creepy ghost sidekick?
Eli shrugs his shoulders and laughs.
ELI BUCHANAN
Do you mean, Lotte? Hell if I know. She’s probably singing into a well or something.
AJ rolls his eyes.
AJ KNIGHT
So are you going to draw a number or are you just here to chat?
Eli places both his hands on his chest and gasps.
ELI BUCHANAN
Do I sense a note of hostility in your voice, AJ? It sounds like someone around here is a sore loser and it isn’t me for a change. (laughs)
AJ rolls his eyes.
AJ KNIGHT
Coming from the guy who invented a whole new persona because I kept kicking his ass that’s rich. I’ll tell you one thing though: Tonight, I’m leaving the winner, and I’m dumping your sorry ass out to do it. That’s a promise!
ELI BUCHANAN
AJ, I’m flattered, but you must realize the world doesn’t revolve around you, my friend.
Eli walks over to the drum and reaches in for a number. He looks at it and chuckles, before turning back to AJ.
ELI BUCHANAN
You were only an obstacle to overcome before we could continue onto our main objective. I’d rather put this all behind us, but if you ever want to go another round I’m sure Kalidah will be more than willing to oblige.
Eli draws his number, and the lights flicker. Eli disappears during the flicker, leaving AJ by himself, still holding his number as we head to commercial.

Aiden Prince is shown backstage at the State Farm Arena, with Desmond Black on his heels. The slick dressed superstar walks with a casual purpose as the camera follows him. It’s Desmond who breaks the silence.
Desmond Black: This is bound to end up in a physical confrontation, you understand that right?
Aiden laughs.
Aiden Prince: Hardly. This is what we do, and we do it well. Trust me, we trained together, I know her better than she knows herself.
Then he slaps Desmond on the arm.
Aiden Prince: Besides, this will be fun.
It’s that moment it becomes apparent where he was heading, as he stops at a door with the name “Lilith Rising” taped to it. Aiden puts on his best smile and knocks on the door.
An angry, guttural noise is heard from within before the door opens up, revealing Sadie Graves standing there. She gives Aiden a sharp, measuring look.
Sadie Graves: You stir her up, Prince, you and Black get to help clean up what she breaks. Got it?
As she steps aside, Lilith Rising is seen further into the room, dressed only in black spandex, laying hard strikes to a heavy bag.
Aiden holds his smile and walks into the room nonchalantly. He glances around at her accommodations.
Aiden Prince: Not bad...my rooms bigger.
She lays one last hard kick and turns to Aiden, grabbing a towel as she wipes the sweat off.
Lilith Rising: Walk away, pretty boy. I’m not in the mood.
His smile turns to a frown.
Aiden Prince: Actually I just came to give you my condolences...in a respectful way.
She tosses the towel to the side as she takes a few strides closer.
Lilith Rising: Blow me, Prince. I don’t need your condolences. I didn’t lose.
Aiden Prince: You may not have lost, but you certainly didn’t win, while I did to put myself undefeated. So yeah, my condolences.
Lilith Rising: Keep it up and it’ll be you I ask for next. You know all you did was beat a man I already softened up for you. So you’re welcome.
Aiden Prince: Yes, but I beat him in style, because that’s what I do, I win and I win in style. But I didn’t come here to gloat, well, only to gloat. I came here to offer a helping hand.
She gives him a suspicious glare before letting out a sigh.
Lilith Rising: I should’ve expected your attitude so I guess I’m listening.
Aiden Prince: People like me and you need to stick together. Here.
He hands her a card.
Aiden Prince: My lawyer. He’s good, with even a hint of a persecuted finish and he can have the match stricken from your record. No draw. Clean record and still undefeated. Voila. You’re welcome.
She slides the card into her waist band and shakes her head.
Lilith Rising: You’ve known me for how long? Do you really think that’s the route I wanna go? For a second there, I thought you might have actually had a good idea. You disappoint me, Aiden.
She steps back, running a hand through her hair.
Lilith Rising: You used to be a little better at devious. Just saying.
Aiden Prince: You want real, you want to talk business, get rid of the cameras and we’ll talk. And I think you’ll like what I have to say. It’s a real revelation even if I say so myself.
Lilith nods to Sadie and smiles.
Lilith Rising: A real revelation, huh? I think I have an idea…
Sadie quickly ushers the crew outside, closing the door as the scene fades out.

Today was the day that team madness would be in their very first Rumble. They weren't teaming together for once. The rumble is every man and woman for themselves. Alex and Echo were sitting on one of thoses black storage containers backstage. Alex and Echo were already for there match. They both have a team madness t-shirt on. That said, 'Lets Rumble'. They had a game of Battleship setup.
ALEX MONROE -
I'm ready this time. (Smiles)
ECHO LAYNE -
Are you sure?!
ALEX MONROE -
Yes.
Alex and Echo had their game all set up. They never really tried to one up each other. If echo wins alex will be happy. And if Alex wins echo will be happy.
ALEX MONROE -
B2?
ECHO LAYNE -
NOPE. A3?
ALEX MONROE -
UGH! you sunk my battleship.
Echo lets out a scream. She was happy she got Alex before she got her. Just as echo was about to make her move. A girl stops right by them. Alex turns her attention to the girl.
ALEX MONROE -
Need something? Can't you see we are kind of busy.
ECHO LAYNE -
YEAH! I'm trying to beat Alex at battleship. I'm winning!
The girl couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
ELENA TAYLOR -
I didn't mean to interrupt. I was just passing by and saw you playing battleship. I haven't played that game since I was a kid.
Both Alex and Echo would tilt their heads at the new girl. Was she even a wrestler here. Obviously Team Madness hasn't seen Twitter to see that the new girl was Elena Taylor and she will be making her debut in the Rumble.
ALEX MONROE -
OH my God Echo your not winning!
ECHO LAYNE -
I will! If this girl goes away! She's ruining it. (smiles)
ELENA TAYLOR -
Hello...you know I'm standing right here. Oh my isn't going to happen tonight? Team Madness turns on each other? Cause obviously you both want to win. How is that going to work if it comes down to just you two?
Alex and Echo look at each other. They heard this before. Just because they are not teaming together tonight doesn't mean they are turning on each other.
ALEX MONROE -
What is your name?
ELENA TAYLOR -
it's Elena Taylor.
ECHO LAYNE -
Okay ELENA! let's clear something up. Team Madness will never and I mean never turn on each other.
ELENA TAYLOR -
Are you sure? Because the rumble is every man and woman for themselves. It's not a tag team match. So one of you has to toss the other out.
Alex would stand up and she was getting frustrated with Elena.
ALEX MONROE -
OKAY Elena. I'll tell you what is going to happen. Team madness is going to go out there and toss as many of the UWL roster out as quick as we can. Then I hope you're left standing in the ring with me and Echo. Then the two of us are going to toss you over that top rope.
ECHO LAYNE -
YES! then you'll see exactly what Team Madness is capable of.
Echo and Alex both smile. They will always have each other's back no matter what. Elena didn't know what to say. She was trying to stir the pot. Elena's smile quickly turned into a smirk as she stepped forward towards the battleship game and smacked it right off the crate. Before walking away quickly.
ALEX AND ECHO (together)
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!
Scene would fade .

The show cuts to ringside and the new UWL World Champion Casey Holliday is standing in the center of the ring with the championship in her hands. She’s soaking in the incredible ovation from the crowd as well as the fact that she’s experiencing one of the happiest moments she’s ever going to have in her career. She takes in the cheers from the audience before she begins to express her always candid and honest thoughts.
Casey Holliday: It’s a brand new day, in a brand new year, for UWL! Now, before I get into what I really want to say, I do want to give a quick shout to Robb Daniels for Starrzone. He gave me EVERYTHING that I was hoping he would and then some. He gave me exactly what I wanted. At Starrzone, I beat the best and there’s no way I can sugar coat that. I beat the one man dynasty that had a stranglehold on this championship for the better part of the year. I beat the two-time UWL Wrestler of the Year. We may not have our personal agreements and we may have our differences, but as a professional wrestler, Robb Daniels was and is one of the very best in this company for a reason and to get the biggest win of my entire career, on UWL’s grandest stage, making the history that I did. At Starrzone, a journey came to an end. For me, a five year odyssey became complete. It was five years ago on Thursday when I made my mainstream wrestling debut… I was just this anonymous in an open invitational battle royal in Montreal who was merely trying to win the prize money to pay for her father’s hip replacement surgery, 20 years of age, no experience. I was supposed to be an early exit from that battle royal…
And out of 30 plus people?
I finished 5th…
A couple of months later, after that company signed me, I was a Trios tournament champion after just five matches… and that’s when I realized that I very well had the prodigal talent to be experiencing what I am experiencing right now. The road was difficult for me to get here, don’t get me wrong on that. I will be the first to admit that at various points in this journey, I made my own journey more difficult than it needed to be and it took me years and years for me to “get it”... and when I came to this company, I finally did.
UWL is the one company where I finally grew up and became a true professional wrestler. I never imagined that things would go for me the way that they did. I never imagined that I would make the history that I have… with being the first woman ever to win both the Coronation Cup and the UWL World Championship… with being the first Coronation Cup winner to win the title in their first try. My father… when he trained me for this… when I went through the obstacles that I went through early in my career and didn’t know how to handle him… I admit that I frustrated the hell out of him so much. At one point, our relationship broke down and we weren’t talking to each other. But obviously, time healed everything and it’s like it never happened and for all the frustration I put my dad through… I know that he’s watching this right now and I know that he’s the proudest father in the world!
Casey takes a pause and soaks it all in some more, the mention of her father making her emotional for just a few moments before she continues.
Casey Holliday: I made everyone that ever stuck with me through thick and thin incredibly proud of me. About nine months ago, prior to my United States Championship victory, I cut a promo that drew a hell of a lot of buzz… when I proclaimed myself the “wrestler of NOW”... and it seems like that was my big breakout promo because everything really started to fall into place after that and NOW? The proof is right here… that I am NOW… I am IT… tonight marks the dawning of a NEW era in this company where I’M the franchise NOW!
NOW? I’m the one that has the target on her back and I embrace that shit with EVERY fiber of my soul.
NOW? I’m the one that’s going to lead this company into the future.
NOW? I’m the one that’s the best in this company and that is going to remain a fact as long as I have this world championship and I’m not someone that is going to back down. I’m not someone that is going to cower in fear of anyone and pull some underhanded bullshit to keep this title with me. I’ve grown up to be a respectable, honorable, franchise player of this company and just because I’ve won this doesn’t mean that I will rest on my laurels because one journey ends… and another begins… and the brightest era of my career IS that journey. My journey as the UWL World Champion… it’s going to be the toughest journey that I’ve ever had… but I know in my heart… I know in my soul… that as one of the best damn wrestlers in the world, I’ve got EVERYTHING it takes to meet EVERY challenge in the eye and overcome it!
So… I’ve got a message for everyone in that big rumble later tonight. Do what I did! Step the fuck up! Don’t take this opportunity for granted. Do what I did and grab that damn ring! The wrestler in that match that does it the most… that wants it the most… they’re going to get to face ME…
I’ll be waiting for whomever wins that match… and let me tell you something… I busted my ass to have my moment… and I’m not going to let ANYONE take it away from me…
Because NOW?
UWL is about to become the most competitive it’s EVER been in its history… and I’m up to the challenge of leading this company to a new era!
Casey confidently throws the microphone aside and raises her championship in the air to raucous cheers from the audience. She maintains her usual swagger and confidence on her face as she leaves the ring and walks up the ramp knowing that she’s going to have it incredibly hard going forward, but also knowing she is more than up to the task...

The scene opens up in the hallway in the backstage area and sitting on a production crate is the new UWL United States Champion, Emma Douglas, the belt slung across the lap as she holds it there. Her spiked gas mask set down next on the crate by her side. Her fingers lightly drum across the face of the belt, a small smug smile comes across her face, a satisfied one.
Emma Douglas - Do you know what this is?
She taps the belt with a few fingernails.
Emma Douglas - This is vindication. I spent at least six months of being talked down to. Being laughed at and called an idiot because my point of view didn't align with Cross'. Because I knew I was better than him, deep down in my core and hadn't been given the proper stage to show him and the world how far I'm willing to go. At Starzone, I finally had that platform and you see the results. Right here.
She lets out a small light laugh.
Emma Douglas - I didn't win it for the glory and the honor. I won it because I'm a spiteful stubborn woman and wasn't about to give up after being told time and time again how I should stay in my lane. Not just by Anthony Cross but by Robb Daniels as well. So this is me spitting in their faces. This is me being defiant and doing things my way and getting results. I might not have won that Coronation Cup, but this is a close second in terms of doing alright for myself stepping out of Daniels' shadow.
She shakes her head.
Emma Douglas - But that's definitely in my rear view mirror, I can look onto other things, like this Universal Rumble. Something the entire roster, or at least most of the roster is involved in. And I don't mean to pat myself on the back too much, but I dare say outside of Casey Holiday, there isn't a soul in this company on a bigger roll than me. And you all saw what can happen if I get enough freedom to do things my way? People get put out for an extended period of time. So you're giving me a match with a whole bunch of potential victims at my fingertips?
She lets out a laugh.
Emma Douglas - Now that just sounds like Christmas to me. I've told people time and again, I'm an agent of chaos and I see so many opportunities to create as much violence as I can in a short period. Winning might be the ultimate goal but it isn't the end all be all like it might be for some. So I don't care whom tries to step up to me in this Universal Rumble, be it Arch Stanton, James Edwards, Kalidah, or even that new group of guys calling themselves The Phoenix. Not a single one of y'all intimidate me. I've seen so much worse. So bring the fight, just know, I have zero problems punching right in the mouth and laughing my head off about it.
Emma chuckles to herself and stands up off if the crate, tossing the United States Championship over her left shoulder. As she turns to walk away, she comes face to face with AJ Knight, she nods her head towards him.
Emma Douglas - What do you want?
She gives him a flat stare as the scene fades to black.

UWL Saturday night returns from commercial. The crowd's attention is drawn to the video screen, which has just come to life.
The background looks to be an office, with wood paneling covering the walls. The words 'earlier this week' can be clearly read on the bottom right of the screen.
Sitting in opposite chairs are John Thompson and Abby Joseph, both dressed business casual, looking as though they are in the middle of a serious conversation.
Abby Joseph suddenly looks towards the camera, with a wide smile on her face.
Abby: "Ladies and gentlemen tonight I am here interviewing John Thompson in his home. As you recall at Starrzone John was brutally chokeslammed to the arena floor."
Abby makes a motion.
The video on the screen changes to Starrzone, and the match between Ryland Moore and Thompson. Thompson had just attempted his finisher, when Ryland caught him with that earth shattering chokeslam.
The video switches back to Thompson and Abby. John's lip has gone very thin, and his nostrils are flaring.
Abby: "John, that was a brutal slam. Can you give us an update on your condition?"
Thompson: "The doc said I suffered injuries to my neck and back. I can feel it too man it still hurts, but he said I'd only be out about 8 weeks. Doc says I'm ahead of schedule, and when I get back I only have one thing on my mind."
Abby: "What is that John?"
Abby asks, looking towards the camera for effect.
Thompson: "When I was walking out of the arena Ryland Moore was standing there, with his lackey Ramirez. Dead ass the dude told me he tried to cripple me. That didn't sit well with me."
Abby looks surprised at this revelation.
Thompson: "I told him he's going to regret his decision. See, I'm not done with the guy, not by a long shot. When I get back he's going to have hell to pay."
Abby: "Have the two of you agreed to set up a match?"
John Thompson shakes his head.
Thompson: "No, but it won't be a regular match. I'm going to beat the hell out of him, and this time I'm going to challenge him to a street fight. We'll see just how big and bad he is."
Abby nods her head looking intrigued.
Abby: "When do you plan on this street fight taking place?"
Thompson smiles maliciously.
Thompson: "Only the strong survive."
Abby: "That would be very fitting."
Thompson nods his head again.
Abby: "You heard it here folks. John Thompson intends to challenge Ryland Moore to a street fight at only the Strong survive on March 20th."
Thompson] and Abby continue to look at the camera, before the shot fades to Black, and UWL Saturday night heads to another commercial.

Billy Danielson - Everyone already knows who I am. Everyone already knows who I beat. Everyone already knows I am the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! So ideally, I don’t have to say much.
Danielson rolls his shoulders, showing off his massive traps and deltoids. A bit more flexing is just further proof that he’s an arrogant son of a bitch. He goes back to his promo though because statements cannot be made by flexing.
Billy Danielson - When you look at this roster, you don’t see a lot of GREATS. You see a few goods, A LOT of mediocres, but that’s about that. James Edwards isn’t on my level, I proved that a few weeks ago. Robb Daniels isn’t on my level, I’ve proved that for years by running his company under his nose. Arch Stanton, Something Burnside, The Midcard Union known as Pheonix, I could go and run through the whole roster verbally because NOBODY is on my level.
A pause and a bit of a scoff from Danielson would make the transition in his statement.
Billy Danielson - But I won’t do that because I’m going to run through them all PHYSICALLY and throw everyone out of the ring, just like we knew I would.
That arrogant smirk on his face just grows on the face of Danielson.
Billy Danielson - I am the only person here that has proven time and time again to be a true FRANCHISE face of every company I walk into, and my homecoming to UWL will be no different. Cassidy Holiday or whatever her name is had a great woohoo moment, and I’m sure it made everyone feel all warm and fuzzy, but after I win this Rumble tonight, I’m going to be the strike of 12 for the little cinderella, because NOT EVEN SHE IS ON MY LEVEL and I WILL be UWL Champion.
One final pause for dramatic effect, because he’s a douche liken that…
Billy Danielson - That all starts tonight, as I beat the entire roster, and start making sure that things… ARE ABOUT TO GET GREAT!!!
He pops for himself for a second, and internally, you could feel AJ Knight pop for the old catchphrase back.
Billy Danielson - THAT’S RIGHT I’M BRINGING THE CATCHPHRASE BACK!!! GOD, IT IS GREAT TO BE ME!!!
Big laugh from Danielson, as he walks away in a cocky strut.

The viewers are transported to Hotel California’s garden. Lotte appears, dancing and twirling around. She notices the viewers watching and comes to a stop, waving at everyone.
“Hello, my lovelies,” she says in her sing-song tone, “It is SO GOOD to see all of you again. Come! Come! I have something to show you.”
Lotte dances away and leads the viewers a short way, deeper into the garden. She arrives at a well. Even in the darkness it’s clear there’s something wrong about this place. Nothing grows around the well, in fact a wide ring of ground is barren all the way around it.
Lotte dances up to the well and twirls around it, singing, “Come closer, my lovelies. COME CLOSER. There is no need to be frightened.”
She places her hands upon the well and it begins to glow. Bending over it, Lotte looks inside.
“Oh Azalo,” she calls into the well.
“Azalo.”
“Oh Nizbel.”
“Nizbel.”
Lotte lets out a giggle and claps her hands with delight. She twirls around the well one more time and then leans back over the well.
“Oh my pretty, pretty boys. Won’t you come out and play?”
“Play!”
“Play!”
Two sets of hands reach up and grab onto the ledge of the well. Lotte takes a step back and claps her hands once more as two grotesque men come out, covered in tattoos and faces a sickly green. In their mouths hang the UWL Untited States Tag Team Titles, which are covered in a green ooze that appears to be dripping from their mouths. Lotte beckons them to her side and the duo climbs out of the well and crawls to her side.
“It has come to my attention that I have not formally introduced my pretty little boys to all of you. How rude of me. How VERY RUDE indeed. Allow me to introduce Azalo…”
“Azalo.”
“...and Nizbel...”
“Nizbel.”
“..., the Herkmen.”
“Herkmen.”
“Herkmen.”
She strokes their heads and giggles.
“And they are your new United States Tag Team Champions. Isn’t that lovely?”
She takes the titles from the Herkmen and shows them to the viewers.
“In anyone else’s hands, these championships are little more than trophies, but in the hands of my pretty, pretty boys, these become talismans of power.”
“Power!”
“Power!”
“You have all taken us too lightly, believing that Kalidah…”
“Kalidah!”
“Kalidah!”
The Herkmen cringe at the sound of his name and hide behind Lotte. She doesn’t appear to notice, or even care, but continues speaking.
“You believe that Kalidah and I are just ‘characters’, merely created to play mindgames and nothing more. Soon though, my lovelies, you will realize just how wrong you are. These talismans in my hands, they are just the beginning. We have so much more planned for all of you. SO MUCH MORE!”
She hands the title belts back to Azalo and Nizbel and strokes their cheeks before turning back to the viewers.
“Tonight in the Universal Rumble, expect chaos…”
“Chaos!”
“Chaos!”
“...and destruction. The winner receives a future World Title match, and while Kalidah might not care for titles, even he realizes what a power talisman that championship is. So tonight, we will do WHATEVER it takes to win and fulfill our next part of our plans.”
Lotte signals to Azalo and Nizbel to rise to their feet and stand at her sides.She starts making motitions with her hands and red mist begins to rise up around them.
“A word of advise, my lovelies. Beware the red mist.”
She starts laughing, menacingly, and the Herkmen echo her as the mist envelopes them and they all disappear. When the mist clears though, Kaildah is standing there and stares at the viewers.
“RUN!”

Aiden Prince is seen standing in front of a backdrop that has the UWL banner. Prince is already in his wrestling gear, consisting of long pants that fade from black to white with gold trim around his crown logo and the words “Legacy” and “Feature Attraction”. As always, Prince is flanked by his bodyguard and hired muscle, Desmond Black. Just off to the right, clutching a microphone in hand and giving a look of disdain to Aiden is the backstage interviewer, Abby Joseph.
Abby Joseph: I’m here with Aiden Prince, who...
Aiden interrupts her.
Aiden Prince: First, eyes up here, I see them wandering already. Secondly, I know there’s been this tension between us, so I brought a peace offering.
Aiden holds his hand back and snaps his fingers. Desmond produces a black t-shirt that Aiden unfolds and holds out for the camera. The shirt has the crown logo of Aiden Prince, and reads “The Featured Attraction” across the top, then below it says: “Undefeated”.
Aiden Prince: Just for you, I figured I’d give you the distinct honor of introducing my new t-shirt for the world to see. That right there, before the end of this show, will be the top selling t-shirt of 2021 here in UWL.
Abby takes the shirt, looks it over, then curls her nose.
Abby Joseph: Undefeated?
Aiden Prince: That’s right, I’m UWL’s only undefeated superstar.
Abby Joseph: But, you’re not undefeated. You were beat by James Edwards...
Aiden Prince: I wasn’t beaten. It was a technicality that I’ve had stricken from my flawless record.
Abby Joseph: A lot of people are saying that you’re dodging James Edw...
Aiden interrupts.
Aiden Prince: Next question.
Abby Joseph: I think the people want this one answered.
Aiden Prince: I refuse to talk about Jamie Edmonds...
Abby Joseph: James Edwards...
Aiden Prince: That’s what I said, I refuse to talk about Jamie Edmonds, so either move on, or this interview is over, and once again you’ve wasted both of our time.
Abby lets out a frustrated sigh, rolls her eyes, but moves on.
Abby Joseph: Fine, but let’s say in this fictional little world you are truly undefeated, you’re not the only superstar that’s undefeated.
Aiden Prince: Are you insane? Name one other superstar here who’s undefeated.
Abby Joseph: What about Jake Mason...
Aiden Prince: Jake Mason? Is that supposed to be a joke?
Abby Joseph: He’s undefeated.
Aiden Prince: Maybe, but is he a superstar? A star maybe, but there’s nothing super about him. Next question, this line of questioning bores me.
Abby lets out a more audible sigh, this time really catching the look of Prince, who scowls at her for a moment, but then transitions it into a smile.
Abby Joseph: Fine, what about this Universal Rumble, how do you feel you fair in this?
Aiden Prince: Finally, a good question. I knew there was a reporter hidden in there somewhere. How do I fair? This battle royal is all but mine. It’s such a certainty, there’s been an online petition that has millions of signatures already to force UWL to officially rename this match the “Aiden Prince Rumble of Greatness”...it’s just a matter of my lawyers and UWL’s lawyers working on the trademark. This match is all about showcasing my abilities and giving the people a chance to see what true greatness is. It’s also a way for UWL to fix the mistake they made when the failed to book me in the main event at Starrzone.
Abby Joseph: I saw that petition. It was started by Ty Richie and only had about...
Aiden Prince: It doesn’t matter who started it. What matters is it happened! I don’t think you get it. They can line up this whole roster against me in the Aiden Prince Rumble of Greatness, and I’ll put every single one of them over the top rope. I’ve already shown I can toss anyone over that rope with ease, just ask Jamie Edmonds. It’s my birthright to be at the front of the line. It’s my place in the natural order of things to carry, not only this company, but the entire wrestling world, to heights it’s never experienced. Anyone, or anything that tells you any different...they can answer to the big man back here behind me.
He nods to Desmond Black.
Aiden Prince: Now once again, you’ve spoiled this interview with all the wrong questions and you’re constant “I wanna lick your abs” eyes and I don’t feel comfortable in this interview anymore...this is over...
Aiden walks past her, with Desmond behind him on his heels. As they step out of the camera shot, Abby looks directly into the camera.
Abby Joseph: What...a....douche.....

Bryan Moltres, Dave West, Jeremy Riggs, Matt Ryker, Shawn Leland make their way down to the ring. They all stand in the middle of the ring.
Bryan Moltres - I will cut right to the chase. It seems like we ruffles some feathers here in UWL at Starrzone.
The crowd looks on.
Bryan Moltres - We finally after months of being here got people talking about us. We had to become five bodies that thought with a singular thought to get all you people to talk about each one of us.
The crowd boos. Moltres waves his arms for them to shut up.
Jeremy Riggs - At Starrzone we talked to one person, Lauren Parker. Mrs. Parker you are just like us. These people around here don't respect you. They don't give two shits about you. Do they know that you're a former two time Television champion? No because none of these so called newbies take the time to check out anything that deals with the history of this place. They sit in their own worlds concerned about their so called, "Push" and their time in front of the camera to five a damn about anything that happened before they got here. They want to talk about what they see as oversights as it pertains to this place. Do you people want me to go on.
The crowd starts booing even louder.
Dave West - As my brothers in arms have said. No one in this place gave a damn about us until we became one and told the truth. It's the truth because we all know it. Do you want us to start naming names to get more attention? Huh? Do ya?
West hands the microphone off to Leland.
Shawn Leland - No don't do that to them West. These idiots couldn't take have the truth thrown up in their faces. They can't hand reality.
Leland looks at Ryker who has his hand stretched out for the microphone.
Matt Ryker - Now we've finally came to me. Poor Matt Ryker who's lost his way. First he turns his back on his tag team partner and former best friend. Now he's standing beside a group of misfits who ramble on and on about newbies who can't do their research about the all powerful and great UWL. It's facts that we're based around. The fact is that newbies walked in off the street from nowhere and think their owed the world. They think their opinions matter. First do your research about UWL. Second get in line behind all of us and we'll show you how things are done around here. All you people asking, "What's our mission?" "What's objective?" Here's what you need to know. We are the Phoenix and we will rise above!
They all stand arm and arm with their arms in the air as the fans boo them.

Backstage, AJ Knight approaches the tumbler cage where they draw the numbers for the Universal Rumble. AJ sticks his hand in looking intently as he rifles through. He pulls out a number as suddenly the lights begin to flicker behind him. Eli Buchanan appears and peaks over AJ’s shoulder.
ELI BUCHANAN
Hey AJ! How’s it going? Ol’ buddy, ol’ pal. What number did you get?
AJ gives Eli a tense glare.
AJ KNIGHT
I haven’t looked yet. Where’s your creepy ghost sidekick?
Eli shrugs his shoulders and laughs.
ELI BUCHANAN
Do you mean, Lotte? Hell if I know. She’s probably singing into a well or something.
AJ rolls his eyes.
AJ KNIGHT
So are you going to draw a number or are you just here to chat?
Eli places both his hands on his chest and gasps.
ELI BUCHANAN
Do I sense a note of hostility in your voice, AJ? It sounds like someone around here is a sore loser and it isn’t me for a change. (laughs)
AJ rolls his eyes.
AJ KNIGHT
Coming from the guy who invented a whole new persona because I kept kicking his ass that’s rich. I’ll tell you one thing though: Tonight, I’m leaving the winner, and I’m dumping your sorry ass out to do it. That’s a promise!
ELI BUCHANAN
AJ, I’m flattered, but you must realize the world doesn’t revolve around you, my friend.
Eli walks over to the drum and reaches in for a number. He looks at it and chuckles, before turning back to AJ.
ELI BUCHANAN
You were only an obstacle to overcome before we could continue onto our main objective. I’d rather put this all behind us, but if you ever want to go another round I’m sure Kalidah will be more than willing to oblige.
Eli draws his number, and the lights flicker. Eli disappears during the flicker, leaving AJ by himself, still holding his number as we head to commercial.

Aiden Prince is shown backstage at the State Farm Arena, with Desmond Black on his heels. The slick dressed superstar walks with a casual purpose as the camera follows him. It’s Desmond who breaks the silence.
Desmond Black: This is bound to end up in a physical confrontation, you understand that right?
Aiden laughs.
Aiden Prince: Hardly. This is what we do, and we do it well. Trust me, we trained together, I know her better than she knows herself.
Then he slaps Desmond on the arm.
Aiden Prince: Besides, this will be fun.
It’s that moment it becomes apparent where he was heading, as he stops at a door with the name “Lilith Rising” taped to it. Aiden puts on his best smile and knocks on the door.
An angry, guttural noise is heard from within before the door opens up, revealing Sadie Graves standing there. She gives Aiden a sharp, measuring look.
Sadie Graves: You stir her up, Prince, you and Black get to help clean up what she breaks. Got it?
As she steps aside, Lilith Rising is seen further into the room, dressed only in black spandex, laying hard strikes to a heavy bag.
Aiden holds his smile and walks into the room nonchalantly. He glances around at her accommodations.
Aiden Prince: Not bad...my rooms bigger.
She lays one last hard kick and turns to Aiden, grabbing a towel as she wipes the sweat off.
Lilith Rising: Walk away, pretty boy. I’m not in the mood.
His smile turns to a frown.
Aiden Prince: Actually I just came to give you my condolences...in a respectful way.
She tosses the towel to the side as she takes a few strides closer.
Lilith Rising: Blow me, Prince. I don’t need your condolences. I didn’t lose.
Aiden Prince: You may not have lost, but you certainly didn’t win, while I did to put myself undefeated. So yeah, my condolences.
Lilith Rising: Keep it up and it’ll be you I ask for next. You know all you did was beat a man I already softened up for you. So you’re welcome.
Aiden Prince: Yes, but I beat him in style, because that’s what I do, I win and I win in style. But I didn’t come here to gloat, well, only to gloat. I came here to offer a helping hand.
She gives him a suspicious glare before letting out a sigh.
Lilith Rising: I should’ve expected your attitude so I guess I’m listening.
Aiden Prince: People like me and you need to stick together. Here.
He hands her a card.
Aiden Prince: My lawyer. He’s good, with even a hint of a persecuted finish and he can have the match stricken from your record. No draw. Clean record and still undefeated. Voila. You’re welcome.
She slides the card into her waist band and shakes her head.
Lilith Rising: You’ve known me for how long? Do you really think that’s the route I wanna go? For a second there, I thought you might have actually had a good idea. You disappoint me, Aiden.
She steps back, running a hand through her hair.
Lilith Rising: You used to be a little better at devious. Just saying.
Aiden Prince: You want real, you want to talk business, get rid of the cameras and we’ll talk. And I think you’ll like what I have to say. It’s a real revelation even if I say so myself.
Lilith nods to Sadie and smiles.
Lilith Rising: A real revelation, huh? I think I have an idea…
Sadie quickly ushers the crew outside, closing the door as the scene fades out.

Today was the day that team madness would be in their very first Rumble. They weren't teaming together for once. The rumble is every man and woman for themselves. Alex and Echo were sitting on one of thoses black storage containers backstage. Alex and Echo were already for there match. They both have a team madness t-shirt on. That said, 'Lets Rumble'. They had a game of Battleship setup.
ALEX MONROE -
I'm ready this time. (Smiles)
ECHO LAYNE -
Are you sure?!
ALEX MONROE -
Yes.
Alex and Echo had their game all set up. They never really tried to one up each other. If echo wins alex will be happy. And if Alex wins echo will be happy.
ALEX MONROE -
B2?
ECHO LAYNE -
NOPE. A3?
ALEX MONROE -
UGH! you sunk my battleship.
Echo lets out a scream. She was happy she got Alex before she got her. Just as echo was about to make her move. A girl stops right by them. Alex turns her attention to the girl.
ALEX MONROE -
Need something? Can't you see we are kind of busy.
ECHO LAYNE -
YEAH! I'm trying to beat Alex at battleship. I'm winning!
The girl couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
ELENA TAYLOR -
I didn't mean to interrupt. I was just passing by and saw you playing battleship. I haven't played that game since I was a kid.
Both Alex and Echo would tilt their heads at the new girl. Was she even a wrestler here. Obviously Team Madness hasn't seen Twitter to see that the new girl was Elena Taylor and she will be making her debut in the Rumble.
ALEX MONROE -
OH my God Echo your not winning!
ECHO LAYNE -
I will! If this girl goes away! She's ruining it. (smiles)
ELENA TAYLOR -
Hello...you know I'm standing right here. Oh my isn't going to happen tonight? Team Madness turns on each other? Cause obviously you both want to win. How is that going to work if it comes down to just you two?
Alex and Echo look at each other. They heard this before. Just because they are not teaming together tonight doesn't mean they are turning on each other.
ALEX MONROE -
What is your name?
ELENA TAYLOR -
it's Elena Taylor.
ECHO LAYNE -
Okay ELENA! let's clear something up. Team Madness will never and I mean never turn on each other.
ELENA TAYLOR -
Are you sure? Because the rumble is every man and woman for themselves. It's not a tag team match. So one of you has to toss the other out.
Alex would stand up and she was getting frustrated with Elena.
ALEX MONROE -
OKAY Elena. I'll tell you what is going to happen. Team madness is going to go out there and toss as many of the UWL roster out as quick as we can. Then I hope you're left standing in the ring with me and Echo. Then the two of us are going to toss you over that top rope.
ECHO LAYNE -
YES! then you'll see exactly what Team Madness is capable of.
Echo and Alex both smile. They will always have each other's back no matter what. Elena didn't know what to say. She was trying to stir the pot. Elena's smile quickly turned into a smirk as she stepped forward towards the battleship game and smacked it right off the crate. Before walking away quickly.
ALEX AND ECHO (together)
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!
Scene would fade .

The show cuts to ringside and the new UWL World Champion Casey Holliday is standing in the center of the ring with the championship in her hands. She’s soaking in the incredible ovation from the crowd as well as the fact that she’s experiencing one of the happiest moments she’s ever going to have in her career. She takes in the cheers from the audience before she begins to express her always candid and honest thoughts.
Casey Holliday: It’s a brand new day, in a brand new year, for UWL! Now, before I get into what I really want to say, I do want to give a quick shout to Robb Daniels for Starrzone. He gave me EVERYTHING that I was hoping he would and then some. He gave me exactly what I wanted. At Starrzone, I beat the best and there’s no way I can sugar coat that. I beat the one man dynasty that had a stranglehold on this championship for the better part of the year. I beat the two-time UWL Wrestler of the Year. We may not have our personal agreements and we may have our differences, but as a professional wrestler, Robb Daniels was and is one of the very best in this company for a reason and to get the biggest win of my entire career, on UWL’s grandest stage, making the history that I did. At Starrzone, a journey came to an end. For me, a five year odyssey became complete. It was five years ago on Thursday when I made my mainstream wrestling debut… I was just this anonymous in an open invitational battle royal in Montreal who was merely trying to win the prize money to pay for her father’s hip replacement surgery, 20 years of age, no experience. I was supposed to be an early exit from that battle royal…
And out of 30 plus people?
I finished 5th…
A couple of months later, after that company signed me, I was a Trios tournament champion after just five matches… and that’s when I realized that I very well had the prodigal talent to be experiencing what I am experiencing right now. The road was difficult for me to get here, don’t get me wrong on that. I will be the first to admit that at various points in this journey, I made my own journey more difficult than it needed to be and it took me years and years for me to “get it”... and when I came to this company, I finally did.
UWL is the one company where I finally grew up and became a true professional wrestler. I never imagined that things would go for me the way that they did. I never imagined that I would make the history that I have… with being the first woman ever to win both the Coronation Cup and the UWL World Championship… with being the first Coronation Cup winner to win the title in their first try. My father… when he trained me for this… when I went through the obstacles that I went through early in my career and didn’t know how to handle him… I admit that I frustrated the hell out of him so much. At one point, our relationship broke down and we weren’t talking to each other. But obviously, time healed everything and it’s like it never happened and for all the frustration I put my dad through… I know that he’s watching this right now and I know that he’s the proudest father in the world!
Casey takes a pause and soaks it all in some more, the mention of her father making her emotional for just a few moments before she continues.
Casey Holliday: I made everyone that ever stuck with me through thick and thin incredibly proud of me. About nine months ago, prior to my United States Championship victory, I cut a promo that drew a hell of a lot of buzz… when I proclaimed myself the “wrestler of NOW”... and it seems like that was my big breakout promo because everything really started to fall into place after that and NOW? The proof is right here… that I am NOW… I am IT… tonight marks the dawning of a NEW era in this company where I’M the franchise NOW!
NOW? I’m the one that has the target on her back and I embrace that shit with EVERY fiber of my soul.
NOW? I’m the one that’s going to lead this company into the future.
NOW? I’m the one that’s the best in this company and that is going to remain a fact as long as I have this world championship and I’m not someone that is going to back down. I’m not someone that is going to cower in fear of anyone and pull some underhanded bullshit to keep this title with me. I’ve grown up to be a respectable, honorable, franchise player of this company and just because I’ve won this doesn’t mean that I will rest on my laurels because one journey ends… and another begins… and the brightest era of my career IS that journey. My journey as the UWL World Champion… it’s going to be the toughest journey that I’ve ever had… but I know in my heart… I know in my soul… that as one of the best damn wrestlers in the world, I’ve got EVERYTHING it takes to meet EVERY challenge in the eye and overcome it!
So… I’ve got a message for everyone in that big rumble later tonight. Do what I did! Step the fuck up! Don’t take this opportunity for granted. Do what I did and grab that damn ring! The wrestler in that match that does it the most… that wants it the most… they’re going to get to face ME…
I’ll be waiting for whomever wins that match… and let me tell you something… I busted my ass to have my moment… and I’m not going to let ANYONE take it away from me…
Because NOW?
UWL is about to become the most competitive it’s EVER been in its history… and I’m up to the challenge of leading this company to a new era!
Casey confidently throws the microphone aside and raises her championship in the air to raucous cheers from the audience. She maintains her usual swagger and confidence on her face as she leaves the ring and walks up the ramp knowing that she’s going to have it incredibly hard going forward, but also knowing she is more than up to the task...

The scene opens up in the hallway in the backstage area and sitting on a production crate is the new UWL United States Champion, Emma Douglas, the belt slung across the lap as she holds it there. Her spiked gas mask set down next on the crate by her side. Her fingers lightly drum across the face of the belt, a small smug smile comes across her face, a satisfied one.
Emma Douglas - Do you know what this is?
She taps the belt with a few fingernails.
Emma Douglas - This is vindication. I spent at least six months of being talked down to. Being laughed at and called an idiot because my point of view didn't align with Cross'. Because I knew I was better than him, deep down in my core and hadn't been given the proper stage to show him and the world how far I'm willing to go. At Starzone, I finally had that platform and you see the results. Right here.
She lets out a small light laugh.
Emma Douglas - I didn't win it for the glory and the honor. I won it because I'm a spiteful stubborn woman and wasn't about to give up after being told time and time again how I should stay in my lane. Not just by Anthony Cross but by Robb Daniels as well. So this is me spitting in their faces. This is me being defiant and doing things my way and getting results. I might not have won that Coronation Cup, but this is a close second in terms of doing alright for myself stepping out of Daniels' shadow.
She shakes her head.
Emma Douglas - But that's definitely in my rear view mirror, I can look onto other things, like this Universal Rumble. Something the entire roster, or at least most of the roster is involved in. And I don't mean to pat myself on the back too much, but I dare say outside of Casey Holiday, there isn't a soul in this company on a bigger roll than me. And you all saw what can happen if I get enough freedom to do things my way? People get put out for an extended period of time. So you're giving me a match with a whole bunch of potential victims at my fingertips?
She lets out a laugh.
Emma Douglas - Now that just sounds like Christmas to me. I've told people time and again, I'm an agent of chaos and I see so many opportunities to create as much violence as I can in a short period. Winning might be the ultimate goal but it isn't the end all be all like it might be for some. So I don't care whom tries to step up to me in this Universal Rumble, be it Arch Stanton, James Edwards, Kalidah, or even that new group of guys calling themselves The Phoenix. Not a single one of y'all intimidate me. I've seen so much worse. So bring the fight, just know, I have zero problems punching right in the mouth and laughing my head off about it.
Emma chuckles to herself and stands up off if the crate, tossing the United States Championship over her left shoulder. As she turns to walk away, she comes face to face with AJ Knight, she nods her head towards him.
Emma Douglas - What do you want?
She gives him a flat stare as the scene fades to black.

UWL Saturday night returns from commercial. The crowd's attention is drawn to the video screen, which has just come to life.
The background looks to be an office, with wood paneling covering the walls. The words 'earlier this week' can be clearly read on the bottom right of the screen.
Sitting in opposite chairs are John Thompson and Abby Joseph, both dressed business casual, looking as though they are in the middle of a serious conversation.
Abby Joseph suddenly looks towards the camera, with a wide smile on her face.
Abby: "Ladies and gentlemen tonight I am here interviewing John Thompson in his home. As you recall at Starrzone John was brutally chokeslammed to the arena floor."
Abby makes a motion.
The video on the screen changes to Starrzone, and the match between Ryland Moore and Thompson. Thompson had just attempted his finisher, when Ryland caught him with that earth shattering chokeslam.
The video switches back to Thompson and Abby. John's lip has gone very thin, and his nostrils are flaring.
Abby: "John, that was a brutal slam. Can you give us an update on your condition?"
Thompson: "The doc said I suffered injuries to my neck and back. I can feel it too man it still hurts, but he said I'd only be out about 8 weeks. Doc says I'm ahead of schedule, and when I get back I only have one thing on my mind."
Abby: "What is that John?"
Abby asks, looking towards the camera for effect.
Thompson: "When I was walking out of the arena Ryland Moore was standing there, with his lackey Ramirez. Dead ass the dude told me he tried to cripple me. That didn't sit well with me."
Abby looks surprised at this revelation.
Thompson: "I told him he's going to regret his decision. See, I'm not done with the guy, not by a long shot. When I get back he's going to have hell to pay."
Abby: "Have the two of you agreed to set up a match?"
John Thompson shakes his head.
Thompson: "No, but it won't be a regular match. I'm going to beat the hell out of him, and this time I'm going to challenge him to a street fight. We'll see just how big and bad he is."
Abby nods her head looking intrigued.
Abby: "When do you plan on this street fight taking place?"
Thompson smiles maliciously.
Thompson: "Only the strong survive."
Abby: "That would be very fitting."
Thompson nods his head again.
Abby: "You heard it here folks. John Thompson intends to challenge Ryland Moore to a street fight at only the Strong survive on March 20th."
Thompson] and Abby continue to look at the camera, before the shot fades to Black, and UWL Saturday night heads to another commercial.
