John and JackMo can be seen together backstage. JackMo is putting his boots on getting ready for his match as John stands next to him. John is wearing a cowboy hat with a white tshirt jeans and boots on
JackMo: Yew know Johnny, yew don’t have to keep dressing like ‘ol JackMo. There can only be one!
John: But it makes us look more like a team. Plus I kind of like this look.
JackMo: Speaking about being a team, congrats on that there FI briefcase! I’ve held it twice if yew remember. Good thing yew got it though. Now we can sneak up on Eddie and Gabe while their playin’ their little vidya games like gators in the swamp, wait until they least expect it, then BAM! Cash in that briefcase and yoink them tag titles away from ‘em! They’ll never see it coming!
John: Well that is a great idea but I can tell you have been gone for a while. The Future Investment isn't a briefcase you can cash in anymore, it is just to have a match at Summercide for the OCW or CCW World Heavyweight Championship.
JackMo: Well shoot. My plan just went up in smoke quicker than brisket in…well, the smoker.
JackMo then looks a little down.
JackMo: Also, we can’t be tag champs if yew got the OCW championship around yer waist. Yew’ll be too busy with that!
John: Let's not focus on that now. We have a target on our backs Mistico and Damian are clearly coming after us. I'll be watching closely to make sure no more funny business goes down.
JackMo: Yea, yew got that right. That little jumping bean turned ya boy inside out after throwing that chair right into my noggin! I still got a lump! I didn’t get drafted to Turmoil in the 21st round for nothing! They be knowin’ JackMo ain’t no punk! Speakin’ of, I seen yew get drafted to Ambition. I’m sure I can get my good buddy Jim Black to talk some sense into those suits and get you over on Turmoil.
John rubs his temples and lets out a sigh.
John: First of all, Ambition isn’t even around anymore. Second of all, that wasn’t a real draft. It was more of a ‘fantasy draft’. Just something fun, you know?
JackMo: Fantasy draft? Let me tell yew something for free. Ain’t none of my fantasies involve nothing like that. My fantasies go something like this here…
John jumps in and interrupts JackMo before he can get started.
John: Let’s get this back on track before you get us taken off of RushTV. We aren't going to let another team take our spot in line. We had a setback losing to TripleBae but if we beat this Kliq we should have a chance at being made the number one contenders.
JackMo snaps out of his fantasy explanation: Yew’re right! It’s time for a RED, WHITE, AND BLUE take over of OCW and that tag division!

"Infected" plays as Kira leaves the ring as we fade to black
Walking through gorilla position we see the newest member of OCW’s women’s division, Serena La Diosa holding her stomach but with a huge smile on her face.
The production crew and members of staff in gorilla are visibly pleased with the rookies debut match as a round of applause begins. Serena bows and mouthes “Thank you” to everyone as she walks past near the backstage area.
As she makes her way to the backstage area she walks past members of the OCW locker room who are also giving her nods of approval and thumbs up for her performance. Serena stops by a catering table as she grabs a bottle of water and opens it taking a sip after a long battle.
Footsteps behind Serena start picking up as she turns around and sees a flamboyant man with a lavish purple suit, bedazzled boots that clink on the ground with every step and a beautiful golden front tooth when he smiles in front of her.
JJ Smooth: Hey there, lady. That was a sweet match tonight, ya dig? Real smooth moves. Been in this business a long time, seen a lotta folks come and go, but you got that... something. That fire. You know what I'm sayin'? Like a good groove, just right. Yeah, real nice.
Serena: Ahh- Oh- hi! Gracias for the kindness!
Serena smiles while still breathing pretty heavily.
JJ: Aight, aight, now listen up, baby! Don't you rush that sweet thang. Take ya time! JJ Smooth is all about bein' cool, calm, and funky. We ain't 'bout no fast livin' round here. We gon' let that groove build, slow and steady, like a good pot of gumbo. Feel that rhythm, let it flow, ya dig? 'Cause JJ Smooth knows, the funk ain't nothin' if it ain't smooth, ya know what I'm sayin'?
Serena: You are quite funky? I think… that suit is beautiful! I really love the colors and my those boots are great! So you saw the match just now?
JJ: Aw, shucks, now you just tryin' to butter me up, ain't ya? But I ain't mad atcha. Appreciate all the sweet talk, mama. And lemme tell you, you wasn't just lookin' pretty out there, you was layin' it down. Straight up kickin' some serious booty, girl. Yeah, you showed 'em what's what. Real talk.
Serena: That really means a lot. I’ve been a fan of OCW since I was a little girl… it’s crazy to see that I actually am here! Let alone I got to debut on Turmoil? In a Future Investment Qualifier? I don’t know what else I could’ve really asked for!
Serena begins chuckling as she lets out a deep exhale and takes another sip of her water before she continues.
Serena: So what’s the occasion Mr. Smooth?
JJ: Listen here, sweet thang. You got the talent, no doubt. But this game? This game'll chew you up and spit you out if you ain't got somebody lookin' out for ya. See, a cat like me, I been around the block, ya dig? I know the ropes, I know the players, and I know how to get you where you need to be. Now, I ain't sayin' you can't do it on your own, but think about it: a man like me in your corner? That's a power move. Let me manage you, baby. We'll make some magic happen.
Serena smiles at JJ and taps her pointer finger on her chin as she snaps her fingers like a lightbulb goes off above her.
Serena: How about this Mr. Smooth, you give me your business card? Are those still a thing? Or maybe even your Instagram and let me think on it a bit and I could get back to you? Does that sound fair enough?
JJ: Instagram jive? Girl, please. I ain't got time for that digital hootenanny. You want somethin' done right, you get a real card, somethin' you can hold in your hand, feel the weight of it. Like this one right here.
JJ pulls out a slightly worn, but impeccably designed business card. He hands it to Serena and closes her hand around it.
JJ: See that? That's class. That's how you know you're dealing with the best. I'm talkin' top-shelf management, baby. Got that vintage feel, like a smooth record on a warm night. Forget that online mess, you want somethin' real? You come to me.
JJ gives a smooth smile.
JJ: Oh, now, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Yeah, you know it, sugar. I got a feelin' in my bones, a real strong vibe... I know I'll be hearin' from you real soon. Dig it?
JJ walks off moving and grooving down the hallway like he just won the lottery.
