Jim Black: Great night of action so far, and it has only just begun. Please help me welcome at this time, El Sicario, Gonzalo Munoz.
Gonzalo: Gracias, Jim.
JB: So first of all, some mixed reactions 2 weeks ago on Turmoil when you came out, seems like a lot has changed in your demeanor with this complete 180.
Gonzalo: Not really to be honest. As El Sicario del Primero I just did what I was paid to do. And I enjoyed it. Sure some people might still look at me and everything I did the wrong way, but I have to tell these people. A man gotta eat.
Gonzalo: And now a Man gotta have fun too, hombre.
JB: And why did you interrupt Hanzo ?
Gonzalo: Facil. You heard the man. Has a couple of wins and cries about wanting competition. And who better del más hermoso talento en toda la Lucha. Be careful what you wish for..
Jim flees the scene as pipes are falling over and Gonzalo falls to his knees, the result of a behind the back attack by none other than Hollywood Hanzo. The beatdown continues as Gonzalo, blindsided, can’t fight back.
Hanzo: Still catching his breath I admit you had the balls to come interrupt me after my weeks of continuously calling out everybody in the locker room. I can respect that but I’m hoping you know now … that this is what comes with it.
Hanzo: *Gets on one knee , close to an unresponsive Gonzalo* I never play by the rules. The match you wanted … I accept. Me & you at September To Remember come prepared.

MARCUS MCMICHAELS
In the OCW backstage area, Colin Locke is seen sitting on a large metal box, watching something offscreen. Footsteps grow louder, catching Colin’s attention, and it isn’t long before Inness Quartz walks around the corner.
Colin: Heya, congrats on the defense!
Colin pushes himself off the box, landing on his feet next to Quartz.
Colin: Not gonna lie, things looked worrying at one point. Had a feeling you’d pull it off, though.
Quartz: You know, I have been hearing that a lot. I appreciate the sentiment, but I have a feeling this Kasstianity thing isn’t behind me just yet.
Quartz: Speaking of victories, let’s not gloss over defeating the safest man in the galaxy.
Colin: Thanks, not gonna lie, kind of glad I get this week off before I’ve gotta live up to my promise of scoop season continuing. Speaking of…
Colin gestures vaguely towards Quartz’ CCW Title.
Colin: I noticed a few people, even the hardcore internet guys who usually crap all over my stuff, were talking about a certain match long before Wish Presents Papa Emeritus turned up.
Quartz nods and taps the faceplate of the CCW Championship.
Quartz: That’s right, and after that fire you showed after your match with Mugen, I’m sure that talk is only going to get louder for you.
Quartz: Listen, I told you before that you’re going to get the best version of me the next time we face off. I meant every word.
Quartz: We have some time before the next big show, but time moves fast around here. Ya’ never know.
Quartz: For now, my eyes are on Red Sun Rising. Who knows, right?
Colin: Always wanted to go to Japan.
Quartz: I’m sure the number of people willing to summon the pub-lad has gone down a bit, recently… But I assure you, it’s not at 0.
The champion smirks and extends his hand to Colin Locke. Colin nods with a grin of his own and shakes Quartz’ hand.
Colin: In that case, very good luck.
Quartz: You too. I’m sure we’ll be talking again very soon.
The two men show a knowing glance as Quartz continues down the hall, Colin watching on as the scene fades.
We fade in to see Drago Cesar walking around backstage once again, looking somewhat lost. Bubba is beside him, looking around.
Drago: Oh man, did I’m forget where ring?
He turns around and scratches his head, walking backwards until he bumps into someone. He quickly turns around to see Sue Plex.
Drago: I’m so sorry! You ok?
Sue: I’m fine, don’t worry about it!
Sue realizes who the man in front of her is and appears to be a bit star struck.
Sue: Oh, mister! Uh, um….
Drago: Oh hey! You must be Sue Plex! We big fans of yours, my sister especially!
Sue: S-she? You are?
Drago: Yeah, congratulations on the wedding! Terra is good person, she help Dragana come out of her shell.
Sue: Sir?
Drago: Call me Drago.
Sue nervously looks around.
Sue: Can I give you a hug?
Drago: Why not?
Sue jumps forward and envelops Drago in a massive hug, picking him up off the floor to his surprise. Bubba tilts his head.
Drago: Whoa!
Drago hugs her back while laughing. After a few seconds, Sue lets go.
Drago: Stop by the dojo sometime! I’m have to go, need to find the ring!
Sue: Thanks for that Drago, I gotta get goin’ too, my wife aint feelin’ too good, it was nice meetin’ you! Say hi to Dragana for me!
He walks off while Sue tries to compose herself. She takes a deep breath, and hurries off in the direction of the trainers room to attend to Terra.
