As we get back from commercial, the scene opens in a dark locker room, the light shines on the person sitting in the middle of it.
Rust: There is no conspiracy in this game. Only fate. I know mine. Do you know yours ?
He uses a lighter to reveal the pile of photos underneath his feet while he is looking at one last photo in his hand.
Rust: My fate has been sealed. But so do yours. Let me in on another secret. It is not your fault..
Rust: It was made that way, made for you to go insane about it. But..
Rust: It is not my problem anymore. After Wrestlution, The Frenchize won't be a part of all this anymore. I had to tell you, because..
Rust: I will take everything with me. The CCW legacy ? Gone with me. The so-called "Allied Powers" ever since UC and CQC came onto the scene.. Over.
Rust: My legacy will be fulfilled at Wrestlution. Whether you like me or despise me. There is no turning back.
Rust: But I have one thing I want to take care of before then..
He drops the lighter, slowly flaming the photos in the process.
Rust: Doc. Your fate is sealed. You won't make it to Lution. I dare you to meet me at the top, and face me one on one, Kang.
He stands up and walks out of the locker room, as he drops the last photo onto the pile. It's the one from the KOCW tournament final, where Doc stands as the ultimate winner.
We turn to the P3 Soundstage, where Drago and Mugen are already seated at their respective spots. Bubba is seated by the couch while Mac and Tosh are taking a nap on his mane. Drago looks a bit worried.
Drago: Uh, ladies and gentlemen, we have very special guest tonight….
Mugen: One that is VERY special to me. He’s been a valuable asset to me and he’s been loyal through thick and thin. Please welcome…..THE CUBE!
A giant cube drops from the heavens, crashing through the ceiling and landing in between Drago and Mugen. The Sensational Impersonator screams in fear.
The Sensational Impersonator: WHAT THE F*** IS THAT THING B?!?!?!
The Cube lights up with a smiley face emoji much to the delight of Mugen.
Mugen: YAAAAASSSSS!!!!! My dear Cube! How are you?
The Cube: I am well Master Mugen. It has been a long time since we have seen each other.
The ever curious Bubba approaches The Cube and presses his face up against one of the glass walls. Mac and Tosh awake from their naps and look on anxiously as Tosh growls hard.
The Cube: Good boys.
Mugen: Now tell all these people what you’re all about. THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT YOU!
The Cube: I am a product of mankind’s desire to imprison those that are deemed undesirable. I was found in the Himalayan Mountains by our dear Mugen. He rebuilt me. Retooled me. And now I am stronger than ever.
Mugen: I’ve upgraded his firmware. Try asking him some questions!
Drago: Uh…Ok. Can you tell a joke?
The Cube: Here is a good joke…..Smythe-
Mugen laughs uncontrollably, slapping his desk so hard it breaks in half. Drago awkwardly looks around.
Mugen: That’s too much old sport! He knows all about OCW history too. Say, sir Cube, how many times have I been OCW Champion?
The Cube: According to my archives….Mugen has been OCW Champion a record total of eleventy times.
Drago: Eleventy?
The Cube: Correct. Eleventy.
Drago: My English bad and I’m know eleventy is not real number!
Mugen: Bah, don’t be a spoilsport. The Cube knows facts and only facts!
The Cube starts emitting a sound like connecting via a 56K modem for a moment and spits out a piece of paper from his mouth. The paper is handed over to Drago and it just says “Fax the Facts”
Mugen: AH SEE! This guy’s hilarious. Nothing to be scared of.
The Cube: Fear not, for I have no desire to contain anyone…..except Spider.
The Cube’s smiley face panel turns into an angry face.
The Cube: Trash must be contained. Where is he?
Mugen: He, uh, escaped a while ago.
The Cube: I desire vict- I mean, test subjects. I HUNGER for them, Master Mugen. You must bring them to me!
Drago: This kind of creepy. This thing gonna eat us!
Mugen anxiously scratches his head as The Cube inches closer and closer to him.
Mugen: Uh, well, um…..How about a Buff Blaster protein bar? Or hey, how about a Jookie’s Jamaican Jamboree Jackfruit Jambalaya?
The Cube: I desire MORE!
Just as Mugen is about to be devoured by his own Cube, a wild Young Ryan appears! He approaches Mugen and points to him.
Young Ryan: YOU! I just wanted to say…..I’m sorry.
Mugen: What?
Young Ryan: I’ve been trying to ruin your show the past few months because I felt like you’ve neglected me, when I should be grateful that you let me on this show to begin with. I mean, you still pay my bills.
Drago: Just try not to attack us anymore.
Mugen: Apology accepted, rookie. From now on, we declare a truce!
The Cube: A rookie would be a sufficient replacement for Spider.
Mugen immediately turns to The Cube and nods.
Mugen: DEAL.
Young Ryan: Wait what?
The Cube consumes Young Ryan and imprisons him inside.
The Cube: I feel better. Now how about we watch some educational videos? Loading…..Valmont_B3atDown_C0mpiliati0n_4K.mp4…..
Young Ryan: NOOOOOOO
The scene opens to reveal Harri Etiquette sitting on a locker room bench upside down, talking on her mobile.
Harri: -It's like I always said! What did I say weeks ago? 'Whenever Harri Etiquette is not on screen, everyone needs to be asking where's Harri?' See?!
Some inaudible noise comes from her phone, and Harri lets out a heavy sigh in exasperation.
Harri: So how about an Etiquette Clock? As soon as the show starts, everyone's counting down the minutes until they get to hear...
Harri starts kicking the locker room door in the rhythm to the opening of her theme song, but is cut off once again by the phone. She does not look pleased.
Harri: Don't pretend you don't know how the greatest song of all time goes! And of course I know that this is Arby's, what, you think I'm some dumbass who doesn't know how phones work?!
The mobile phone is upside down in Harri's hand. She rolls her eyes at the response on the other end of the line and throws the phone over her shoulder, which, as she's upside down, basically means she ends up slamming it on the floor, causing it to bounce under a nearby row of lockers.
Harri: Wait a second...
Harri's eyes widen, she backwards rolls off of the bench and quickly springs to her feet, a playful look on her face.
Harri:That gives me an idea.
She hurriedly skips out of sight as the camera transitions into the next segment.
TAG TEAM WRASSLIN D.D.E vs. THE WRESTLING CLUB
We cut into an undisclosed locker room backstage, where Antonio Everrett is going through his final preparation before his main event match against Mark Reese. He’s sat on a bench with his head down, taping up his wrists casually before his routine is interrupted by a familiar voice coming in through the door.
DOC: Well, well, well… Main Event Tony, you all good man?
The two share a quick fist bump as Doc takes a seat next to the CCW Championship, which is laid out on a bench opposite to Antonio.
Antonio: Yeah, all good brother. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, right? Firstly the cell, then Quartz, and then out of nowhere, you want a shot at the title too? Feels like everything is falling into place on the road to Wrestlelution, and you know what, I’m excited. I feel like a kid in a candy shop, you know what I mean?
DOC: Yeah, bro, absolutely. I was literally there, you know, I felt it too. That energy, everything falling into place. It really feels like this was meant to happen.
Antonio: I can see it in your eyes, brother. Last time I saw you this hungry, we were just two good-for-nothing rookies sitting backstage at the biggest Certified Greatness show of our lives. But you ain’t just hungry anymore, you’re starving.
DOC smirks in acknowledgment of Tony Touch’s statement.
DOC: You know me so well, champ. Just something inside me, you’re right, like a hunger, completely came over me recently.. A need, a void that could only be filled with one thing, one accomplishment. I hope you understand that, Tony.
Antonio grabs his Championship from next to Doc and places it over his own shoulder.
Antonio: I do, I really do, Doc. But don’t you think for one second I’m just gonna roll over and give it to you. Outside the ring we may be brothers, but when I’m facing off against you, you’re just as much of a threat to my reign as those other two are. With all due respect, this is my moment. I want to make history with this title, and whether you like it or not, that involves going through you.
Antonio stands up and motions to leave the room, before he is cut off by his Uncrowned brother, who stands up and gets in his way.
DOC: I wouldn’t have it any other way, Tony. Good luck tonight, I’ll be watching.
With that, DOC slaps the front of the CCW title placed over Tony’s shoulder a few times, before cracking a smile and exiting the room. Tony stands there in silence for a few moments, and a grimace emerges from his face as Riot moves on.
