We cut back from commercial in the HEAT OF THE BOLEK as one of the pillars of Ambition these past two years Aleksander Bolek makes his way to the ring. He takes a microphone as the hot Ambition 99 fans wait with bated breath to see what he has to say...

Bolek: Ladies and gentlemen ! Please a round of applause cause the greatest star in Ambition history is here! Mr. Ambition is here!

COME DOWN immediately bounces around the arena - it's quickly replaced the opening riff of Kid Ego by Extreme as Ambition GM Paul Pugh stomps out onto the stage for the second time this evening.

He marches down to the ring as the crowd hit fever pitch. Bolek stands, furious that he's been interupted. Pugh grabs a microphone and stands opposite his adversary.

Pugh: Mr Ambition huh?

Bolek nods, mouthing "you're damn right"

Pugh: Aleksander, 2 years ago when I came back to run Ambition, you told me something. Do you remember what that was?

Pugh: You told me that the A in Ambition stood for Aleksander Bolek - which is weird, but hey - I let it slide because English isn't your first language...

He shrugs and looks around at the crowd

Pugh: And hey. I admired your arrogance. See Bolek. I was arrogant like you once. Shit. I'm arrogant like you today.

He steps closer to Bolek

Pugh: But you know what I did with my arrogance? I channelled it. I turned it into a Hall of Fame career. World Titles. Main Events. Epic Matches. Spectacular Feuds. I became an A1, first ballot hall of famer... something you can only dream of being.

Pugh: And Bolek, what have you done with your arrogance? Well, you've been a lackey, you've been a whipping boy, you've been worn out on national television by basically everybody you've ever faced... stop me if this is inaccurate by the way...

The crowd cheers as Bolek's expression changes to a more serious one

Pugh: Granted, you won the International title but couldn't keep it. Heck, its your fault that in 2025 we have to refer to Nate Ortiz as a Champion. All on you Bolek.

He laughs to himself

Pugh: See Bolek. Ambition means a lot to me. It means a lot to this company. And for someone to commit all of those atrocities while having the nuts to call themselves Mr Ambition... I don't like that.

Pugh puts a finger in the air and begins to wag it, as if he's got an idea

Pugh: Do you remember earlier this year? Where you danced around while your daddy put me through a burning table? That was fun, right? You've been firing strays at me, messing with me for months. Quietly. Indirectly. Do you think I didn't notice?

He shakes his head and a serious expression comes across his face too

Pugh: So I'm going to do something about it. See while you've been losing high-profile match after high-profile match, you know what I've been doing? I've been winning. I've been plotting. I've been scheming. I've been waiting for a moment... and now.

He steps closer to Bolek again

Pugh: We've got the perfect moment. See in three weeks, we've got the biggest Ambition episode of all time - and you know what? I'm going to abuse my power. Aleksander, you need to appreciate that actions have consequences. And at Ambition 100. You can refer to me as "The Consequences".

Pugh: And do not get this twisted. This is not a challenge. The match is already signed. There is no way for you to get out of this. If you really think you're Mr Ambition, then you prove it by beating the biggest star that the Ambition era produced... and if you don't...

Pugh: ...You'll never be on this show again.

A mixed reaction is heard throughout the arena as Bolek takes a deep breath, staring a hole in Kid Ego

Bolek: Hmmm... I think this is the first time someone's words have really hit me.

Bolek: Life works in a funny way doesn't it? 2 years ago I got here and you didn't only welcome me, you told me I was meant for greatness, you told me I was the best thing to happen to this company in 15 years.

Bolek: You gave me a space that I made my home, Ambition is my home, even if I'm not always here that will never change.

A "Bolek's home" chant starts up as he smiles in appreciation

Bolek: But greatness came sooner rather than later when I joined DNS and won the International Championship, and even if it was just for a moment I was on top.

Bolek: And you know what you did? You turned your back on me. You talked shit about me. I accomplished the things you told me I was meant to accomplish, but you were not there for me.

Bolek: Now you want to throw dirt on me? You want to call me a lackey? You want to make fun of my losses?

Pugh interupts him

Pugh: I do. I really do... you know why Bolek? Because I was wrong. You aren't fit to stand in this ring...

The camera gets in close on Bolek who is furious at this statement. He starts to pace back and forth before coming to a stop and looking into Pugh's eyes

Bolek: After Lution I hit rock bottom, I felt like it was over, once again I was just a guy with a dream.

Bolek's voice begins to crack as he stares a hole through Pugh

Bolek: But there's one thing I still had. This.

He points at the giant AMBITION logo on the X-Tron, before pointing to random people in the crowd

Bolek: This people, this show that I made my own.

Bolek: Now you want to take it from me, but I won't let you do it.

Bolek: At Ambition 100 you've got yourself a match, and for the first time I won't be fighting just for me, I will be fighting for my people.

Bolek: I will give it all and if I die it will be on my feet and against one of the best to ever do it.

Bolek: But if I win... oh boy...if I win then you would have no other option but to admit that Ambition is the house that ALEKSANDER-BOLEK-BUILT.

The fans erupt as Bolek shoves his microphone into Pugh's chest and storms out towards the ropes. Pugh smiles and nods his head as Bolek leaves the ring. The camera follows Bolek down the ramp, Pugh in the background, as we fade to the next segment
