As Aisu limps back to his locker room, from that brutal Lockhorn Challenge earlier on, denying any help from the OCW staff, prideful as ever, he finally sits after a long and grueling walk.
He opens his locker halfway before stopping. Upon seeing his bag, he looks around him. Something feels off but he can't quite put a finger on it.
As he is ready to remove his mask before taking a shower and changing gears, he notices another mask next to his bag, an Aisu mask for sure, but not HIS mask. He takes it and can already feel the cheap aspect of it, this is a replica.
Suddenly a loud thud comes from the showers and Aisu, in his own capacity, gets to his feet, his left leg being very compromised at the point.
As he does so, he is knocked out cold from being. The camera zooms out to reveal a person all in black, wearing an Aisu mask, steel pipe in his hand, putting the other cheap mask in his bag.
Sulking backstage in the locker room, we see Chance Williams sitting on a bench looking down at his old GOAT Academy t-shirt. Chance looks around the locker room noticing all the advertisement posters and sees the rundown of the card for Turmoil 300 on a tv nearby. Chance in his street clothes looks down again at his old t-shirt and just lets out a deep sigh as the door to the locker room opens and closes.
Approaching Chance calmly is his loyal girlfriend, Bobbi Baddi who is holding a duffel bag with both hands. She walks up to Chance, who is still looking down at his t-shirt dejected, as she drops the duffel bag right on his feet.
Bobbi: Chancy, I know you’re feeling down but honey, this is your big night. Turmoil 300! The final match with Bolek, I know you’re not fully here right now but sweet boy, I’m right here with you.
Chance looks up to Bobbi seeing her gorgeous smile radiating happiness and positivity as best as she can. He tries to smile but forces a half-smirk half awkward facial expression. Bobbi laughs at his attempt which makes Chance fully smile.
Chance: Y’know… I really did not expect my life to be like this right now if I’m being honest. When I came to OCW I figured I’d be right alongside my brother… but instead, he’s not even here anymore…
Chance: I thought tonight I’d feel relief cause I was finally having Bolek behind us, regardless of if I win or lose. That chapter of my life and our story would be done. But instead? I get snuck from behind as my home was taken away from me, and then I get jumped from behind while trying to go warn Derek… I was too late.
Chance drops his head down again with pain coming from his last words. Bobbi sits down next to him and puts her head on his shoulder as she starts rubbing his arm.
Bobbi: These things aren’t your fault Chance. You and I both know we can’t control everything and we can only control what is within our grasp. Tonight, you finish this rollercoaster of a ride with Aleksander, and then? Well, we move on to the next problem at hand and we handle it day by day.
Chance goes quiet for a minute as he looks down at his feet with the duffel bag still laying there. He turns over to look at Bobbi who is happy to see he finally acknowledged the bag.
Chance: So… what’s in the bag?
Bobbi leaps up with excitement and begins clapping her hands giddy with joy.
Bobbi: Unzip it! I have a surprise for you, which thankfully is going to come in very handy for tonight!
Chance smiles halfheartedly and bends down to begin unzipping the duffel bag. Bobbi stands there with anticipation as she happy dances waiting for him to pull out his surprise. Chance opens the bag fully and begins pulling out shorts, boots, and kneepads very similar to his. He looks at the colorway and the designs on the shorts noticing they no longer have the GOAT Academy logos on them but his very own personal designs. Chance looks back up to Bobbi with tears in his eyes as he smiles at her.
Chance: Bobbi… you didn’t have to do this…
Bobbi sits back down next to Chance, planting a kiss on his cheek, and begins rubbing his arm again.
Bobbi: Anything for you Chancy. You came into my life and made it so much better. I wouldn’t want to go through this journey in life and wrestling without you. It’s the least I could do for you for your biggest match tonight.
The couple exchanges a kiss as the door to the locker room opens and closes again, Chance still not noticing who it is looks back down at the gear Bobbi brought him.
Chance: Thank you baby girl… I just hope I don’t let you or Derek down tonight… I know I’ve been tough on him with the academy stuff but, he’s never let me down or turned his back on me… that man is a true brother.
Derek, who is in the background hears what Chance is saying and smiles as he stands at a distance waiting for the couple to finish before engaging in the conversation.
Chance: Devon snuck Derek as well and I wasn’t there to help him. It keeps playing in my head over, and over, and over again. Bolek kidnapping you, Devon sneaking Derek, I feel like I just keep letting all of my people down.
Derek has heard enough and walks up to the couple and has a smile on his face.
Derek: Nah, I'm the one who should be sorry. When you were dealing with Bolek, I wasn’t there to help and was basically getting into with Bobbi every week. So from me to yall, I apologize.
Bobbi looks at Derek with a smile on her face and playfully yells at him
Bobbi: Boy! Sit down, me and Chance both know that ALL of us, are family now. We aren’t going anywhere, Harris may be gone, Tyler may be gone, but you two? You have each other now. You each have your brother right here.
Derek looks perplexed by Bobbi name-dropping Tyler Walker, who hasn’t been mentioned in years. Derek's face first looks sad by the mention of Tyler but then a big smile comes after as he does realize he and Chance are in this together.
Derek: Damn Bobbi, you just made me realize we aren’t different. Chance, we both had partners that we love to death. Would do anything to step in the ring with them one more time, right or wrong?
Chance nods his head yes as the memories of an early GOAT Academy and AT3 flood his mind.
Derek: But they’re both gone now, and at the end of the day we found each other. Through all the stuff we've been through we’ve had each other. Now that we out of the Academy, none of that changes. When everyone was gone, it was just us, and it’s still just us now Bobbi included.
Chance nods at Derek once again as he looks to Bobbi who is smiling finally seeing the two men are fully on the same page together.
Chance: Listen, man, I’m gonna handle this final chapter with Bolek tonight. And after it all? We got more work to do, we gotta figure out our name, and EVERYTHING. But you’re right big dog, it’s me and you until the end of the line, right?
Chance extends his closed fist to Derek for a fist bump as Bobbi jumps up all excited shouting.
Bobbi: YES! I GET TO DESIGN EVEN MORE STUFF! YES! I LOVE THIS! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Derek: Love yall too, but back to this team thing we gotta have a banging theme. I gotta playlist lemme get my phone out real quick.
Derek pulls out his phone as Chance covers his ears and Bobbi starts dying from laughter as Derek starts rapping different songs as the camera pans out and fades to black
LAST MAN STANDING
RYVAUGHNvs. TELOS
We cut to the backstage area where FloJo is seen watching a monitor.
FloJo: Hello ladies or TOG would say, hello bitches.
FloJo: Congratulations on the tournament, Debbie and Sue.
FloJo raises her briefcase
FloJo: But a gentle reminder of who’s in control.
FloJo: So no matter which one of you wins the championship, your days are numbered-
BAM!
Alyssa Marceaux, who hasn’t been seen on TV in months, attacks Lotus FloJo from behind and picks up the microphone.
Alyssa: The only ones whose days are numbered are yours, Flo.
Alyssa drags FloJo into the corner and starts stomping on her stomach, as security officers begin breaking the scuffle up.
