**After a long silent drive, Pilgram and Omen arrive in a house in a secluded area of the mountains. As they get closer to the house, they see a man sitting on the porch. The man is rocking back and forth in a chair, not budging to the arrival. Pilgram tells Omen to wait for a moment as
Pilgram leaves the car. **
Pilgram: WAYLON! Just the man I was hoping to see. I’m so glad you’re already out here.
**The man gets up slowly from the chair. **
Pilgram: I know you don’t exactly want to see me here. Or anywhere, for that matter.
**Pilgram keeps approaching the house and the man in front of it. **
Pilgram: Look, I brought someone wi-
**As Pilgram starts to talk, Waylon punches Pilgram in his mouth. At this point, Omen leaves the car and makes a beeline towards Waylon. As Omen gets within a few feet of Waylon, Pilgram jumps to his feet and tells Omen to stop. **
Pilgram: Wait, Omen. I deserved that. This is Waylon, he’s an extended member of the family.
**Waylon keeps his eyes locked onto Pilgram whilst Omen stares are Waylon. Tension is building. **
Pilgram: Look, Waylon, you know I’m entitled to be on the property as much as you are. So, my guest and I will be staying here for a bit.
**Waylon looks disgusted. **
Waylon: I know about your guest. The right-hand man of your friend BASH. I know all about whats going on in OCW. I will not be here while you are here. As a matter of fact, maybe I’ll try my hand in at OCW myself. Maybe I’ll show you and this thing you brought with you,
**Waylon walks past Omen and Pilgram. He heads towards his own vehicle and leaves. Pilgram smirks and walks towards the house. **
Pilgram: Welcome to the humble abode. Today, we start working on you. We watched as Devin Flash flipped you around. As Joe Deaver attempted to rag doll you. We watched as JynX threw you up in the air. It’s time for a change. We are going to make you bigger. Make you stronger. Make people fear you more than ever when they step into the ring. And when they day comes, we know exact who will be your first victim.
**Pilgram laughs as Omen follows him inside the house. **
MEN'S FUTURE INVESTMENT QUALIFIER #4
STEVEN JACKSON vs. GONZALO MUNOZ vs. ???????????
Backstage catering is bustling with people walking in and out. Sitting at a table in the corner is Christine and Mo Jae. They appear to be having a rather animated conversation.
Christine: Mo I don’t want to see you get hurt again. I don’t know who Dark Jae is but he’s a real menace and you are not at full strength yet.
Mo Jae strokes his newly grown beard and flips his hair that has grown quite long during his hospital stay.
Mo Jae: I lay low last week and just tried to play cards. I came to OCW and was a complete fool Christine.
Mo Jae: I thought I could bring honor and restore order to this place. Instead I have found myself fighting for my life and questioning my desire to do this.
Mo Jae: Now I have someone who is pretending to be me and making me look dishonorable. I can’t stand for this anymore, I must defend the only thing I have… My name.
Mo Jae shakes his head in frustration. A visible concern can be seen growing on Christine’s face.
Christine: Mo Jae you are the kindest and most disciplined person I know. Please don’t get so down on yourself. I promise you we are going to work all of this out.
Christine: How are you feeling physically at this point?
Mo Jae nods his head in agreement with Christine before answering her question. A hesitancy can be heard in his voice.
Mo Jae: I don’t feel the same. I have the same dream over and over of being thrown off that catwalk.
Mo Jae puts his face in his palms to hide his emotions. When he uncovers his face his eyes are bloodshot and red. The stress of the situation is clearly taking a toll on him mentally.
Mo Jae: Can I be the same man I was before? I have no idea.
Mo Jae: I just don’t know anymore Christine.
Christine looks directly at Mo Jae and emphatically states.
Christine: Mo it is time for you to return to the dojo. I know you can do this.
Mo Jae looks at Christine and nods in agreement.
Mo Jae: The path to my OCW in ring return begins now.
Mo Jae stands up and gives Christine a big hug.
Mo Jae: Christine you are so right. Thank you for being a great friend. I am ready to face my demons and make this comeback a reality.
Mo Jae walks off with some pep in his step as Christine finishes her meal. As we transition to an advertisement for the soon to be opening Server Farm 2.0.
