Danny Domino: (mockingly) Hold on, hold on, Katie. I just wanted to spare this young man some embarrassment. Victor, let me give you some advice. This isn’t your playground; this is the sVo. It’s not for everyone. Maybe you should go back to the kiddie leagues.
Victor Holland narrows his eyes at Danny Domino but keeps his composure.

Danny Domino: (laughs) Oh, how cute. Well, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Ready To Make History
Katie Smith stands backstage, microphone in hand, ready to interview Alissia Young ahead of her monumental championship match.
Katie Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Alissia Young, who is set to face Night tomorrow night on Showdown for the sVo Championship. Alissia, you were not out there with the Canadian Connection tonight, as you have the opportunity to make history by becoming the first woman to hold the prestigious title. What are your thoughts going into this match?
Alissia Young smirks confidently, adjusting the collar on her leather jacket before responding.
Alissia Young: Katie, history is a funny thing. For decades, we’ve witnessed men dominate the wrestling world, but times are changing. Tomorrow night, I’m not just going for a victory; I’m going for a paradigm shift. Night, he’s been walking around with that championship, thinking he’s untouchable. But tomorrow, when the dust settles and the referee counts to three, Night’s reign will be over, and a new era will begin.
Katie Smith nods, acknowledging Young’s determination.
Katie Smith: You’re part of the Canadian Connection, a group with a reputation for making bold statements. How does this match fit into the broader plans of your group?
Young smirks again, a glint of mischief in her eyes.
Alissia Young: The Canadian Connection is about dominance, Katie. We’re not here to play nice; we’re here to take over. Tomorrow night, when I claim that championship, it won’t just be my victory; it’ll be a victory for the entire Connection. We’re not just here to make history; we’re here to rewrite it.
As Alissia Young walks away, leaving Katie Smith with a lot to think about, the anticipation for tomorrow night’s main event continues to build.
