A locker room door labeled ‘Valkyrie’ is shown, leading to the crowd popping hard at the sight.
The large, loose-fitting coat of nature lover Terra Daturas enters the frame… as her hand pokes out of the sleeve and knocks several times on the door.
Terra is shown with a glowing smile on her face, excited to once again speak to Valkyrie. She is slightly bouncing side to side in uncontrollable joy. After receiving no response… She knocks again.
Terra: Hm. She isn’t on tonight’s action card… I wonder where else she could be I just saw her earlier!?
Terra once again knocks on the door, this time more slowly, seeming to know she won’t receive a response.
Terra’s excitement is slightly subdued, she is no longer buzzing. Her smile has shifted slightly to a look of disappointment.
As she puts her head down for a moment. She again finds her smile and looks back up at the door.
She places her hand on the door softly.
Terra: I’ll just leave this here. I know you’ll find it. I really hope you like it. Gratias tibi ago.
She places the large basket down at the base of the door, turning it so as the flower faces outward. She removes her hand from the door and skips away joyfully...
The camera doesn’t leave the scene, however… as walking into the scene is an unfamiliar face…
Jett Draven, who is sloppily eating a burger, dropping bits of it as he walks and chews. He comes to a stop when he sees the basket in front of Valkyrie’s door.
Draven looks left… he looks right… then shrugs his shoulders and grabs the basket as the camera fades to black.
The camera pans to the announce team.
THIEF!
I call it smart!
The Xtron Flickers On
Backstage, we return to Cort Marshall, who’s made it to the interview without incident. Jim Black is standing by, ready to start.
Jim: Now I know there are more important things to talk about, but first, if I may ask… where’s your usual outfit?
Jim glances at the street clothes Cort’s been wearing the last couple weeks.
Cort: I feel like it just wouldn’t fit the situation. Ain’t no happy go-lucky-Cort coming into this one. I wanna win a hardcore match, I gotta tap into my hardcore side. Barbed wire and IEDs, bullet holes and MREs, Jim. So that… will remain under wraps.
Jim: So you’ll have something made specifically for Devil’s Night.
Cort: Yes sir. But for now, I want to get straight to business. I know Shepherd’s been doing a lot of talking, but I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet. I’m sure you know why that is. It’s hard to come to terms with someone betraying you like that. He was like a brother to me.
Cort takes a moment before continuing, overcome with emotion.
Cort: But that’s in the past, now. Shepherd, you did something you should NEVER do. You stabbed your friend in the back.
Cort: But you know what the worst thing is? You didn’t kill me. A coward betrays their friend, but a fool doesn’t finish the job. I am somewhat of an expert at finishing jobs. Dirty jobs. Jobs nobody wanted to do. Jobs they’d take pains to ensure never got onto the news.
He raises the bat and tosses it around in his hands.
Cort: Christian Shepherd, you can say you carried me. You can say I deserved what I got. But when we step in the ring, you are going to get what you deserve. What you asked for. But not what you wanted.
Jim: I hate to interrupt you, but that’s a hardcore match! What can we expect to see?
Cort: To make the long and short of it, Jim: carnage. Tables! Ladders! Chairs! Anything and everything goes.
Cort: Shepherd, you are a dangerous man, and this is a dangerous match. I can’t pretend that I’m the best around in the ring, or that I’m guaranteed a win even when it matters more than anything. But what I can promise is that when I’m done with you, all you’ll want for Christmas is your two... front... teeth!
Suddenly, Shepherd rushes in from the right with a chair. Cort notices just in time and ducks out of the way, but that leaves the chair on a collision course with Jim Black! Jim crumples and Cort tackles Shepherd.
Cort: Son of a bitch!
Cort pushes Shepherd into the wall, but Shepherd lays a few shots on Cort, making him let go. They struggle to gain control, until Shep hits one good one near Cort’s eye and he stumbles back. Shepherd takes the opportunity to escape, and leaves the dazed Cort to check on Jim.
Cort: Jim! You all right?
He helps the interviewer to his feet.
Jim: I think so. Got me right in the shoulder, though.
Cort: Damn. I’ll get you to the medical room…
The camera fades out with Cort assisting Jim offscreen.
The camera pans to the announce team.
SNAKE!

The scene opens with FloJo walking towards the catering area, she receives a text message from Nick betamax.
Nick: Yoo. What’s up?
FloJo: Nothing much just did a Clark Effect and all that stuff.
Nick: Cool, cool.
FloJo: Look, I need you to do me a favor…
Nick: Okay, what?
FloJo: Remember when Jackass-man confronted me a few weeks back on Turmoil?
Nick: Yeah?
FloJo: I want you to cut his freaking hair.
Nick: What?! Why?
FloJo: Just do it, mane.
Nick: Alright. *sigh*
FloJo: Great. I knew I can count on you. He’s like a 4chan s***-post realized.
FloJo puts her phone back into her backpack and suddenly encounters a familiar duo. Johnny Law and the OCW Women’s Champion, Dragana enter the scene. The Silent Queen hoists the championship up on her shoulder.
Johnny: We saw your little segment on The Clark Effect. Can’t help but say that I’m impressed.
FloJo: You have any snide remarks to make? Terrible jokes? Threats?
The Mask with a Mouth shakes his head.
Johnny: No, not really. Why would a guy like me say those kinds of things?
Dragana: <_<
Johnny: I know that you’ve got a lot of pressure on you heading into Devil’s Night. You’ve been asking people around for advice.
Johnny spreads his arms out.
Johnny: This is the biggest match you’ve ever been a part of, right?
FloJo: Yes, yes, it is.
FloJo raises her fist in the air.
Johnny: So let me offer you a piece of advice for a change. You can’t defend against….what you can’t hear.
FloJo notices that Dragana is no longer behind Johnny. She looks all around until she realizes that The Silent Queen is somehow right behind her. Dragana peers over FloJo’s shoulder and looks at her with a smile.
Dragana: Ssssshhhhh……..
FloJo: Hmph.
FloJo reaches behind and places her hand on the side of Dragana’s cheek. This turn’s both of them red. Dragana and Johnny looks shocked.
Johnny: Wha-What are you doing? Why are you so comfortable doing that?
FloJo: Ssssshhhhh….
Johnny's jaw drops
FloJo turns around to look Dragana in the eyes. Leans into her right ear and whisper.
FloJo: Fight me, beat me, all you like, i’ll just keep coming.
Dragana: X_X
FloJo leaves area with Dragana charmed. Johnny is still shocked after what happened. He goes over to Dragana to knock her out of a trance.
Johnny: Dragana! Draaagana! Snap out of it, please!
Dragana: Unnhh…..
Dragana wakes up confused as to what had happen and is wondering where FloJo went.
Johnny: Let’s go. You and I got hit with that weird anime magic.
Johnny: FloJo. At Devil’s Night you’re about to get destroyed more ways than one. You Weirdo, you creep. How dare you touch the queen like that. Grrrrrrrrr
The pair walks off as Dragana is still blushing.
The camera pans to the announce team.
This one is gonna be good!
AND VIOLENT!
BOBBY MINIO vs SHEPARD
The camera pans to the announce team.
OH MY GOD!
WOAH!
The X-Tron turns on. We can see Valkyrie running down the hallways backstage. She’s being followed by KD who is jogging a few paces behind her.
Valkyrie: Harvey! Harvey wait!
KD: If we have to keep running I’m gonna…
H2O: Ok..ok…
H2O stops his power walk and lean his back against the wall. He takes his gloves off and throws them to the floor.
Valkyrie and KD catches up the Harvey. They both notice his gloves are on the hallway floor. They both just look at each other.
H2O: Why do I let him in? Why do I let him get the best of me everytime?
KD: I’ve been here for a long time. YOU been here long enough to know that you can’t let this happen.
Valkyrie: TTT and Kasstianity thrives off of people’s fear of them. Take it from me.
H2O nods his head in agreement.
Valkyrie: Now you have a title a shot at The OCW World Heavyweight title. Do you remember the mindset you had when you fought Tiberius Dupree?
H2O nods again.
KD: Let me tell you something about best friends. No matter how long you heard from them, no matter who gets in between your relationship with them, no matter what happens. Best friends will always come back around.
KD: Forget about tonight. C.Q.C. will be taken care of. You just focus on defeating Kassidy Hayes and shes The Good Light on my Garden!
H2O lifts himself up off the wall and gives KD a handshake. He turns to Valkyrie and they do their routine handshake they’ve done once before.
H2O: This is why we’re for the greater good of OCW. We’re the Old Country mixed with The New Country. We prove that we can coexist with each other.
H2O: For that we will be the most unstoppable force in this business.
Valkyrie: Now that’s the Harvey I know!
KD: Don’t get discouraged again, H2O. This is not what I signed up for. We need to know if your head is in the game.
H2O: See that’s where you’re wrong my friend.
H2O: It’s no longer a game.
The camera pans to the announce team.
It's not how hard you can get hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving foward! THATS HOW WINNING IS DONE!
Well H20 has the getting hit part down!
A scene would open where none other then Benjamin Moore sat at a table with a half-eaten plate of Mexican food. As he leaned back into his chair he would place his fork down before wiping his mouth with a napkin and looking towards the camera.
Benjamin: Mi only eat da best..because Mi is da best. Da best furs..da best looks..Da best gals..Mi be the best in New York overall.
As the camera zooms in closer he would push his plate away from himself as he continued to speak.
Benjamin: But some people in OCW don't tink me be more then I am..an Icon. Dem look at me and keep on moving as if mi ain't there but dat ends now. Mi be more vaild then dem all and mi tink they just all scared of me..dem are afraid of The Icon of New York.
As he spoke the waiter would walk up to him and places the bill onto the table but the waiter was not so easily dismissed. Benjamin would take hold of the OCW waiter's wrist and looks up at him with a upsetting stare.
Benjamin: What is dis..?
OCW Waiter: I-It's the bill Mr. Moore...
Benjamin: Yu done brung me a bill? Do yu know who I am..
The waiter would nod as he clearly knew who he was.
Benjamin: Mi don't tink yu do, I am Benjamin Moore da Kwenja. Mi don't pay bills, dis bumbaclot of a place should be paying me to eat here not the other way around, remember dat.
With a quick motion Benjamin would push away the waiters arm and readjust his fur coat as he gets up from the table and starts to walk away.
The camera pans to the announce team.
