Backstage in the hallowed Halls of Madison Square Garden, mere moments after the conclusion of the Crowned Royalty finals. The crowd is still roaring, a blend of elation over Lyza Reye’s victory, coupled with vitriol over Cyncity’s attack on her after the match. The door of one of the locker room’s slams open, and out of it stalks a very displeased looking Shane Atwater, his brow furrowed, a scowl on his face. Bryant Gordan rushes up to the three-time World Champion, cutting off his exit as the camera cuts in on the pair.

BRYANT GORDAN: Shane! Any thoughts on tonight? How are you feeling after your match with Emilio?!

Shane doesn’t speak for a moment. He lets his bag slump to the floor, clear tension in his movements as he searches for the proper words.

SHANE ATWATER: Unsatisfied.

He lets the singular statement hang there a moment, before continuing before Bryant can fill the space with another question.

SHANE ATWATER: That’s...That’s what I’m feeling right now. Unsatisfied. And that...Look. Right now, this shouldn’t be about me. You shouldn’t even be back here talking to me, right now. Lyza Reyes is the winner of Crowned Royalty this year. She put in the work. She shocked the world, more than once out there tonight. I’m not going to take a single, solitary thing away from here. She deserves it. She earned it, and she damned sure earned better than the way Cyn just treated her out there…

He shakes his head.

SHANE ATWATER: ...She’s the Champ. She deserves the glory. But that...That is not why I’m feeling what I’m feeling right now. Anything could have happened out there. Hell, even if I’d…

Another pause as Shane bites back some clear bitterness over not being able to qualify for another Crowned Royalty final, before he continues again.

SHANE ATWATER: Even if I’d come out of my match with Emilio, who knows what could have happened? Maybe Lyza Reyes catches me, like she caught Cyncity. Maybe she’s still out there celebrating right now. Doesn’t matter. I just…

Shane paces for a second, pushing a hand through his hair, clearly agitated.

SHANE ATWATER: I don’t like loose ends. I don’t like...I don’t like leaving things unfinished, Bryant. I went out there, to go to war with Emilio Vialpando. To have the match that he and I, and that crowd, deserved. To give them a fucking wrestling clinic, befitting of a place with the history the Garden has. And we sure as Hell did. For 30 minutes. 30 minutes...30 minutes, and nothing to show for it. I don’t like that feeling, Bryant. 30 minutes, we went to war...and neither of us...NEITHER OF US...get to walk out of here with our hand raised. NEITHER OF US...get to go home, satisfied….and that...Goddamnit, that...

In a rare moment, Shane lets a hint of anger slip, slamming an open palm against one of the equipment boxes in frustration.

SHANE ATWATER: 30 minutes, Bryant. 30 minutes, with no resolution. No proof. I went out there with something to prove...and I left...we BOTH left...with nothing to show for it. So yeah. Congratulations to Lyza Reyes. It was a Hell of a performance for her. Hell, for everyone in the tournament. But yeah. “Disappointment” doesn’t begin to cover it. “Unsatisfied” doesn’t begin to cover it, Bryant.

There’s a heavy sigh from Shane, as Bryant shifts almost uncomfortably.

BRYANT GORDAN: ...Sooo….What’s next? For you, I mean. Destiny is ju---

Shane cuts Bryant off, his words cold and simple.

SHANE ATWATER: What’s next...is getting some Goddamn satisfaction.

With that, Atwater re-shoulders his bag and makes his way out of the frame, leaving Bryant Gordan to watch after him with a bemused look.

Backstage in Madison Square Garden Riley Lynn is seen with the medical staff making sure that she didn't suffer any serious injuries from the fall she took off the ladder. Interviewer Bryant Gordan makes his way over with his microphone prepared to get Riley’s thoughts.


BRYANT GORDAN: Riley we saw you speak your mind about Hunter and Fr-


Riley cuts him off flagging away the medical staff that was examining her.


RILEY LYNN: Who the Hell does Francesca think she is huh?! She had some nerve coming out there and running her fucking mouth! I AM NOT A D LIST WRESTLER! This is exactly what I was talking about out there. People have no respect for ME.


Riley adds emphasis on herself patting her chest. She squints her eyes at the interviewer before asking him a question.


RILEY LYNN: Tell me Bryant do you think I deserve to be called a D LIST wrestler?!


BRYANT GORDAN: Well I-


Riley cuts him off once again assuming that he would agree with her.


RILEY LYNN: EXACTLY I don't! I've worked my ass off in this company and all I get is DISRESPECT! I don't deserve it! HELL, I shouldn't have to have to fight Droopy the dog and the yapping Flee-xican chihuahua for a title shot!


Riley stops herself going into a thought before arriving at her bright idea.


RILEY LYNN: You know what I should do…?


She says looking over at Gordan with a devious smile. He shakes his head not knowing what she should do.


RILEY LYNN: Hell, I'll tell you what I'm GOING to do!


Riley pauses and laughs to herself thinking about how brilliant her idea must be.


RILEY LYNN: I'm going to put MY name on the Fight WINTERS APP!


Riley nods her head thinking that hearing it out loud sounds even better than in her head.


RILEY LYNN: Maybe then I won't even have to fight for the Championship GO. #LevelUp


Riley says laughing again pushing Gordan before she leaves the scene. Gordan looks at the camera and addresses it.


BRYANT GORDAN: Well, there you have it ladies and gentlemen.

Brian Stryker

It's December 27th, 2016. The 11:00 Action news is on with Anchorman Wolf Dancer.

NEWS REPORTER: We go live to Sheena Martin who is reporting from TRYP by Wyndham in New York City covering a breaking news story. Sheena.

The woman named Sheena is waiting for her delayed cue as she stands in front of what appears to be several cop cars outside the hotel building. Several cops are standing outside conversing with hotel staff as they wait.

SHEENA MARTIN: Hi Bob. I'm standing outside TRYP by Wyndham where just moments ago cops were called to stop a fight that seems to have escalated here cause a large amount of damage to the hotel itself. The police have not figured out how or why this fight started, but one of the people involved, Brian Doughtery, has been taken into police custody.

Just then two cops are walking Brian Stryker out of the hotel. His arms are cuffed behind his back as he appears to be screaming at someone who's still in the hotel. One cop is holding a plastic palm tree in his hand with an evidence tag on it.

BRIAN STRYKER: THIS ISN'T OVER YET REYN YOU FUCKBOY! I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS FROM HERE TO TIBET AND BACK!

Stryker gets into the cop car without resistance as they give him a quick word as he shrugs. The cops nod and close it as it drives off.

SHEENA MARTIN: While reports on WHY this happened have not come to light, it has been told that Brian Dougherty was staying at the hotel with his wife and son, when a man who Dougherty knew, kicked in the door and the two started to fight in the halls of the hotel. While several potted plants, tables, and pictures were destroyed in the melee, no one was seriously hurt. Both men have been taken into custody. More on the story as information becomes available.

The cameras show static for a long time before things stabilize and show a completely pummeled Jason Mentez being assisted but in reality nearly carried by his mentor and RISE trainer, Arkia Fisk-Jones out of Madison Square Garden. The cameras are catching them as past through the backway doors.


JASON MENTEZ: ...They ok?


ARKIA FISK-JONES: They are fine Jason. I checked. He did it to lure you.


JASON MENTEZ: ...How...how you get here so…


ARKIA FISK-JONES: I’m learning to stick close on your showdays. I was at your gym in Queens. I know you don’t want anyone near but you are catching an extraordinary amount of beatings. No one else gives a damn so, here I am.


JASON MENTEZ: Wouldn’t be...my career...if...if I didn’t. FOE.


Mentez slurs out a chuckle as the cameras zoom out catching Jermaine Marks jogging forward as Jason and Kia reach the Lincoln Continental escort.


JERMAINE MARKS: DAAAAAAAAAMMMNNNN HOMEY!!! You got knocked the fuck out!!


Arkia gets slightly defensive stepping forward with Jason’s arm around her shoulders but Jason places his hand on her arm as a sign to chill.


JASON MENTEZ: Yeah...good investigative work.


JERMAINE MARKS: Now chill chill, no need to get angry or sarcastic. Although…


Jermaine takes a up and down look at Arkia Fisk-Jones.


JERMAINE MARKS: Mmm...might be worth the beating. Anyway slime with Jinzai...what happens now?


Arkia easily leans Jason against her side while the driver of the Continental opens the door for them both.


JASON MENTEZ: I….I uhhh am continuing my lessons…..learned in my sessions. I still….I can still….see the good in….a-all bad situations.


He exhales slowly his eye swelling more by the second.


JASON MENTEZ: ….My family is fine…..beyond dat these bumps and bruises aint shit. They’ll...heal...I’ve had….worse. Jinzai, he wants….to wave a vato’s balance. Take…..


Arkia nudges him to get in the car Jason places his hand up wanting to finish.


JASON MENTEZ: ….advantage of my mental stability dat I fight to keep...everyday. Some...better than others but...I try. He wants to show...s-show me dat this is his place. His spot. His time.


An odd bloody smile creeps on Jason’s features as Arkia keeps him upright.


JASON MENTEZ: What’s hilarious?....Straight funny as...fuck? He’s doing all of this over a spot…..I don’t give a fuck about.


His laughter is labored with a lot of pain and the camera catching every second of his seizing discomfort.


JASON MENTEZ: ...I care more ‘bout the...birthmark on my balls a calzón quita’o. My intentions...be clear when I came back…..I’m not looking for legacy. I’m not looking to….uhhh like say….pad onto the accomplishments....not called satisfaction...i-i-it just aint where...I’m at. Como la gatita de Dorita, si se lo sacan llora y si se lo meten grita. Shit he on? Dat shit means nothing….when you staring death in the face….n dat nigga winnin. You just fighting to breathe n….I….I like dat fight. I want dat scrap. It’s even more….cause he think….he think fightin for something tipo.


Instead of spitting out the pool of blood rising in his mouth he just swallows it licking some of teeth clean. His eye still swollen with blood leaking but he gets enough power in him to lean off of his mentor and stand next to the open door. Willpower showing even now while beaten to shit.


JASON MENTEZ: The way...I see shit now. Si voy a seguir consiguiendo etiquetas engomadas nubladas….I’ll deadass earn dem bitches. It’s possible to see the good i-in a situation. It’s also possible to....beat the...g-g-good into situations. Hay que ver como se bate el cobre. D...Doctor Anderson? Buy a lot more cloudy boys. 2017...Va a ser un año inquebrantable.


He takes his hand wiping the blood from his face and some from his mouth and pats Jermaine’s shoulder.


JASON MENTEZ: Thanks for the time Marks. Lemme know tu play poker. Tournaments stay lit a mi casa eh?


He gets into the car and Arkia watches him as she follows in after closing the door. Jermaine quickly looks down at the bloody handprint on his shoulder and ‘EWWS!’ as the Continental drives off.

The scene fades in backstage where Emilio Vialpando is seen exiting his locker room carrying a white Nike duffle bag with snake like features, more than likely a part of his line. Emilio didn’t seem as chipper and happy as usual as he began to make his way down the hallway towards the exit. Vialpando didn’t look up to speak to anyone as he clearly just not in the mood to speak to anyone at this time. Would that stop the likes of backstage interviewer Jermaine Marks? Nope, it sure won’t as he walks up to Emilio placing his hand on the young man’s shoulder sharing a laugh with just himself.

Jermaine Marks
Well if it ain’t one half of the Half Hour Boyzzzzzzz. My nigga EMMIILLIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Haha, what’s good slime tryna ask a few questions for a real nigga?

Emilio shook his head.

Emilio Vialpando
Not tonight JC. Please, just not tonight hombre.

Jermaine looks at Emilio with a “really nigga?” expression.

Jermaine Marks
Well that’s just too goddamn bad my nigga cause I’ma ask these questions anyways. Seeing that you on your Weeknd House of Balloons tip, how bout you gon’ head and tell the big dog how you feeling about what happened tonight? Like that part when you and that other simp had a chance to advance to the next round in the tournament and possibly even become the Crowned Royalty 2017 Winner. Gon’ head. The world is listening, slime.

Vialpando stops walking and looks over to Jermaine and the eVolve Network cameraman who was also there along with him. He shakes his head as he lifts the rim of his LA Rams snapback up a little bit more so they could see the seriousness in his eyes.

Emilio Vialpando
You wanna know how I feel about the shit that went down tonight? You honestly wanna know how the fuck I’m feeling right now breh?

Jermaine Marks
Well duh nigga, I asked didn’t I?

Emilio Vialpando
It’s pretty damn obvious that I’m pissed off about what went down tonight. It’s pretty damn obvious that I’m not the only person that’s pissed off about tonight breh. I should be pissed off about what went down with Jackie Fowler getting screwed over by some Reaper shit. I should be fucking happy as hell that Felicity is back and well and that her familia were able to take the fight right back to the Reapers for what they’ve done to her. I should disappointed in a woman I once looked up to in Cyncity. I should checking the WARHOUND App to see the latest update on the proud hero….But I can’t be, cuzz. I can’t give a fuck about any of that. Like I should want to give Lyza her props on winning but breh…

He shakes his head.

Emilio Vialpando
I ain’t in no congratulatory kind of mood. Me y Atwater finally had our chance to be in a dream match that everyone of the fans within the Hard Knox Universe have wanted to see since the first time we actually stepped in a ring together at No Rest For The Wicked where I fucked things up. I finally had the chance to right my wrongs with Atwater by putting on the best match the goddamn night….Only to be told that we both were eliminated from the fucking tournament. Couldn’t even finish the damn match cause neither of us……

He takes a moment as he bites his lip.

Emilio Vialpando
Because neither of us were willing to give up. Because we were both in that ring giving our lives..Pouring our hearts and souls in that ring and just to be stopped and told...No, you’re eliminated? Jaja, to be told nah you’re both done for the night. No Crowned Royalty for you. Jaja….Get the fuck outta here.

He laughs as he shakes his head.

Emilio Vialpando
I didn’t come to Crowned Royalty to fucking lose or to even be kept from actually finishing a fucking match. Both me y Shane….No. Me, Shane y the fans out there and whoever was watching on eVolve tonight were robbed from a not just seeing who would walk out the winner or the loser...But who would have proven who was the better man in that goddamn ring. Did we solve that? Did we? Did we answer that question? Did we?

Jermaine Marks
Well obviously no---

Emilio Vialpando
No nigga we didn’t. Either one of us could have been the ones to have their hands raised tonight. Either one of us was more than capable of reaching the finals and winning the whole fucking thing. Did we get that? Nah cuzz...We got robbed of that fact just like Fowler got robbed of his ITV Championship belt. Tonight was just whole bunch of bullshit. I may not be able to resolve the other shit that went on tonight, but I can sure as hell try and resolve my own.

Marks nods and goes to ask Emilio another question until he feels a pat on the back. Emilio looks over as the camera pans over revealing Tony Capone along with his three goons Benny, Max and Jorgo.

Tony Capone
I think he’s talked enough, don’t you boys?

The goons nod agreeing with Capone. Marks turns around to see Capone standing there pulling out a cigar. He wanted to say something but thought better of it.

Tony Capone
This man obviously deserves a night out on the town after the night he’s had. The Show certainly put on show tonight in the legendary Madison Square Garden.

Capone lights the cigar as Jorgo steps up and moves Jermaine out of the way. Capone grins as he looks up at Emilio who seemed to be more welcoming to see Capone than he was Marks.

Tony Capone
Let’s get outta here, Snake.

Emilio nods as the two begin to head towards the exit while being followed by Capone’s goons.

Defiance General Manager
As the scene faded in backstage, Defiance General Manager Romeo Price is seen walking along side with his Assitant General Manager Shannon Elliott. The two were discussing something but it would seem that Price was angry with the multitude of events that have happened during tonight's show Crowned Royalty program. Cautiously, backstage interviewer Bryant Gordan make his approach to the enraged general manager overhearing their conversation.

Shannon Elliott
You have to calm down, Rome. She was only trying to--

Romeo Price
No! What the hell was she thinking!? She could have….Mr. Gordan.

Gordan was shocked to hear his name be spoken as he thought the two men didn’t notice his presence there. Romeo crossed his arms as Shannon slipped his hands into his pocket looking at the young man.

Bryant Gordan
Sorry I um….I thought--

Shannon Elliott
That you could eavesdrop on our conversation without being noticed?

Bryant Gordan
No sir I was just trying to get a few words from you guys about tonight, if that’s okay?

The two attorneys look at one another for a brief moment then back to Bryant.

Romeo Price
Very well Mr. Gordan...Go ahead.

Bryant nods to himself and begins to ask his first question.

Bryant Gordan
Alright, cool. So since you two were on the subject...Felicity Banks. She has turned to Hard Knox Wrestling after what the Rea--

Romeo Price
Let’s stop right there Mr. Bryant. Ms. Banks may have made an appearance tonight, but she is in fact not back. In fact, we aren’t certain that she is even cleared to be. Ms. Banks isn’t only returning from her injuries from the brutal assault by the Reapers In Pride, she also also returning from a surgery that removed a tumor from behind her neck that began to block a nerve and needed to be removed immediately. Ms. Banks placed her health at risk tonight without the assurance of being cleared to be active. No matter the implications that led to it...she had no business being out there tonight, God only knows what could have happened had I not have shown up along with Mr. Ohno’s security personal.

Bryant looked back at the camera and then back to Romeo a bit confused.

Bryant Gordan
So what exactly are you saying? Are you saying Felicity that may be out indefinitely even though we just seen her put a steel chair in the HKW World Champion’s back?

Romeo Price
That is exactly what I am saying Mr. Gordan, as well as the status of the Destiny World Championship match still being in question. As well, the main event for the next episode of Defiance is still in place. Lance Winters will still be defending his championship belt against whoever is selected by the #FightWintersApp.

Bryant Gordan
Okay, since we’re on the subject. The Reapers have again caused some controversy tonight and this time in the HKW ITV Championship match that led to Viktor Volkov replacing the Warhound herself in the triple threat match against Chance Frost and the former champion Jackie Fowler. Can you shed some light on just how Volkov was selected to replace Keaton in that match up?

Romeo begins to rub the bridge of his nose and shakes his head.

Shannon Elliott
To be asking either of us that question is a bit ill advised, Mr. Gordan. Neither myself or Mr. Price have had anything to do with tonight’s show when it comes to running it. This was an House of Pain event, which would mean that not even the likes of Mr. Joseph Perello had a hand in what happened tonight. But….If you wanted to actually ask someone on how or why Mr. Volkov was selected to replace Ms. Keaton you should probably ask…

Elliott smirks.

Shannon Elliott
...your very own boss Mr. Cash Johnson, Mr. Gordan. Surely you already knew this, correct?

Before Bryant could answer the Defiance Assistant General Manager continued to speak.

Shannon Elliott
Now we know there was a few issues here and there considering the booking of tonight's show but we have nothing to do with House of Pain. We are merely just spectators who are here to support our brand, nothing more. Surely….You already knew this too, Mr. Gordan. Perhaps others within both rosters are too...Shamelessly ignorant to understand that fact and would like nothing better than to point fingers here and there without actually knowing what they already should. I would expect for those questions from one of them not...The likes of Mr. Johnson’s own staff.

Romeo Price
Needless to say Mr. Gordan, despite all that happened our doors are always open to speak to our Defiance superstars to try and resolve any issue they may have. Now if you excuse---

Romeo stops talking as he sees Tony Capone walking along side Emilio Vialpando towards the exit. He strains his eyes at the sight of Capone and shakes his head.

Romeo Price
Hmph...Now if you excuse us we have other matters to attend to Mr. Gordan. You have a safe night, and give Mr. Johnson our regards.

The two brass members of Defiance turn to head down the hall as Bryant is left standing there as the scene began to fade away.

Jackson Magnum


Jackson is laid out on a trainer’s table with ice on the back of his neck. A grimace on his face as he winces in pains. His eyes straining, as if trying to see something good in his future. It seems so bleak in this moment. As the cameraman approaches he can feel his presence in the room with him.


Jackson Magnum: I remember when I was so similar ta wat I faced tonight, willing ta do anyting ta win. Ta try ta end someone’s career, ta take everyting from them. Et’s a sad existence tat almost always end up wit an emptiness. Cyn, I don’t even know wat ta say at this point, beside was et worth et? Did ye git wat ye wanted? By doing thee tings ye did, wat did ye accomplish? Even wit all thee easy outs, even wit trying ta ending me career. Ye even git thee bye and couldn’t git thee job done. Either way, I suppose yer no longer me concern.


Jackson took a deep breath, still obviously in pain as he sits up, his eyes looking deep into the lens of the camera.


Jackson Magnum: Nina, I hope ye appreciate wat yer gitting en me now. Tat ye aren’t facing thee man tat once stood fer nuffin, thee one tat would’ve done anyting ta git ahead. Et would be so easy at times ta go back ta et. Especially on a night like this, seeing how people tink my relative kindness is weakness. But I hafe ting I need ta do, tings I need ta experience, ta know tat I can be better. Tat I can be a true champion, witout the devious nature ov being who I was. Fer tat ye should be grateful tat yer only facing me as thee I am now. Tat being said a night like this dinnae go unnoticed by ye. I’m sure ye saw a line ov attack ta come at me wit. Tat’s a good ting fer me though. Every hero needs ta leave, ta come up so nigh’ ta victory only ta find himself giving en when ets thee last ting en thee world he wants ta do. Et reminds him ov his human nature. Et reminds him tat he’s not invincible even ef he feels tat way at times. Tonight was exactly wat I needed ta become champion again, ta be thee hero these fans deserve, thee one me family deserves, thee one thee country ov Ireland deserves. A simple setback never sets back a superman, et simply makes him more determined ta be invincible, and makes him realize there is no place ta hide, from everyone’s expectations, especially his own.


Saying this Jackson stands up reaching over and grabbing his jacket, he groans as he puts it on, the pain etched on his face, as he walks out of the room.
