The APW World Champion sits on a black steel folding chair in the middle of a a black room. A singular light bulb hangs above him. There is no thorny throne, no red walls. The Nitemare is dressed in his regular wrestling gear with a new APW Damon Warrens "Give the Devil His Due" tank top. He lacks his tragedy face mask and crown. The APW World Championship hangs from his left hand. The Devil Himself is looking at the belt as if mystified.
APW I have been a man of my word. I have kept my promises to you. About one month ago I returned to this company with one goal in mind... redemption. I redeemed my loss to Jason Ryan.....several times over now. I redeemed the end of my record holding championship reign within mere weeks of gracing you all again. I have been redeemed. And now that I have earned my redemption it seems I have become some sort of altruistic charity giving out undeserved opportunities. First my mere presence was the only reason Jason Ryan was declared for the Killing Floor Match. Last week I was forced to give out another chance at the gold to two men I beat FOR the gold. Two men who have done absolutely nothing in APW to warrant ANY championship match let alone two world championship matches in back to back weeks. Apparently winning matches doesn't matter any more all you need is...longevity? Perseverance? A new gimmick every time the old one stops working? That brings me to the newest charity case I must deal with.
Damon slowly rolls his eyes back, his head following suit at the annoyance of yet again being presented with an unworthy challenger.
Hale Cassidy ... the man who after an impressive debut watched his first major opportunity in APW slip through his fingers like the precious few grains of sand left in his career's hourglass. What baffles me is that after this loss APW management decided since this guy couldn't cut it in the junior division....let's throw him to the All American American North American Champion America "America Jackson" Jackson next week. Apparently though Jubei decided to put a pause on your handout Hale because instead of a championship match against America you instead find yourself in a non-title match against the single most dominant World Champion in this company's history. Cassidy...you would have been much better off against America...
The Nitemare holds up the championship.
Hale this right here means I am the biggest mountain to climb in APW. It means I am the most dominant person in APW. It means I'm not someone who would lose to a roll up. You know it's funny Hale... just how much your words seem to truly reflect you. You called Alex Scott a pretender to the throne... someone fed to the sharks under the guise of an opportunity. Yet here we are. I find myself preparing to fight a pretender to my throne. A man who is being fed to this company's most vicious shark under the guise of an opportunity. Your match against LeStrange... shallow end. But now you're bleeding out in open waters Cassidy. I see so much weakness in you. Weakness that your parent's money can't hide. Weakness that your vapid eye-candy won't distract me from seeing. When I take off the crown and put away the throne... when all my pomp and circumstance is gone there still stands this company's most dangerous entity. When we take away all your flash.... I see a fragile little kid who inflated his own ego so at least SOMEONE would believe in him.
The camera turns so that it looks into Damon's pure white eyes.
I don't believe in you Hale. You have tried to convince yourself of this fantasy where you are the king. You claimed to be a demon sitting atop APW's mountain... dear delusional child... management may have pushed you towards the peak, but when you get there the Devil Himself will make sure to send you straight back to Hell.
The shot zooms in on the trademark piercing stare of the champion and the scene cuts to black.
