As her car pulls up, members of the Legends Club surround her, cutting off her path.]
Curtis Knight: (smirking) “Well, well, if it isn’t our favorite courier. Cherry Bordeaux, care to share what business you had with JD James last week?”
Cherry Bordeaux: (calm and collected) “That’s none of your concern, Curtis. I have my reasons, and they don’t involve you or your club.”
[Athena steps forward, eyeing Cherry Bordeaux with a mix of suspicion and hostility.]
Athena: “You can’t just waltz in here and play games with the Legends Club. We demand answers.”
Cherry Bordeaux: “Sorry, darling, but I don’t answer to you or anyone else. My business is my own.”
[Curtis Knight, growing impatient, decides to exert his authority.]
Curtis Knight: “Fine, if you won’t talk, you’ll face the consequences. You’re booked in a match against Athena later tonight. Let’s see if you’re as untouchable in the ring as you think you are.”

Teddy Rush: (gritting his teeth) “Last week, I was left hanging when I needed someone to watch my back against the Legends Club. Edwin Ellis had a chance to step up and be a teammate, but he chose to do nothing. That’s not the kind of attitude I can accept.”
Elena Cruz: “So, you feel let down by Ellis’s actions, or rather, lack of action?”
Teddy Rush: “Exactly, Elena. We’re in this together, facing the Legends Club and whatever else P:V throws at us. If Ellis isn’t willing to stand by me, then I’ll show him why he should’ve.”

Stevie Rigg: (smirking) “Asulf, you should be thanking me. I saved you from getting beaten down last week. Maybe you need to learn to handle things on your own.”
Bjorn Asulf: (raising an eyebrow) “Handle things on my own? I’m the TV Champion. I handle things just fine. But when we’re facing a common enemy, it’s better to stand together.”
Stevie Rigg: “Common enemy? I don’t see it that way. I’ve got my sights set on Curtis Knight and the P:V Championship. I don’t need anyone else.”
Bjorn Asulf: (smirking) “Well, good luck handling your business, Rigg. You might need it.”

Elena Cruz: “Speaking of the PPV, you’ve got a match against Brandon Snyder. What can we expect?”
James Mendoza: (grinning) “Oh, Elena, it’s going to be a spectacle. Snyder has pulled every trick in the book to keep me away, but the PPV is the end of that chapter. I’ve been waiting patiently, and believe me, I’ve got weeks of frustration to unleash on him. The restraining order won’t matter when we’re locked inside that ring.”
Elena Cruz: “And what’s your message to Brandon Snyder?”

We Meet Again

Masafumi Satake: It’s been a while, Yuri.
[Jakucho rolls her eyes at the name he uses. When she finally speaks, it’s in Japanese with subtitles at the bottom of the screen.]
Jakucho Akechi: <That name’s ancient history, just like most of your accomplishments.>
Masafumi Satake: I haven’t forgotten the young woman who teamed up with me a few years ago. And I’m sure she hasn’t forgotten the fact that I prefer to settle things with actions, not words.
[The two glare at each other and the fans buzz with anticipation. Finally Jakucho laughs and shakes her head.]
Jakucho Akechi: <Sure, sure, I remember. Don’t get too attached to the memories, Satake-san, we’ve both changed since then. You’ve become a grumpy old warrior looking for that one last battle so you can fall by the sword. I’ve become so much more than that. Watch me dissect the Kat they’ve set me up against and see for yourself.>
Masafumi Satake: Watch those words, child. They’re liable to come back and bite you in the end.
[Akechi turns to leave, making a point to brush shoulders with the veteran. She stops just past him and grins.]
Jakucho Akechi: <Good luck at the pay per view against the hockey dinosaur with sawdust joints, grandpa.>

New Blood

Elena Cruz: “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Puck, and Puck, you’ve been vocal about your thoughts on the new talent here in P:V. What’s your take on the upcoming PPV?”
Puck: (grimacing) “Elena, these new kids running around think they know everything about pro wrestling. They’ve got flashy moves and loud mouths, but they lack the grit, the toughness that defines a true wrestler. At the PPV, I’m going to show them why they’re not up to the mark.”
Elena Cruz: “You have a match against Masafumi Satake at the PPV. Any thoughts on your opponent?”
Puck: (snorting) “Satake? The guy’s got a couple of wins, but he is nothing special. I’ve been around the block, and I’ve seen it all. I’ll expose his weaknesses and teach him a lesson in respect.”
Elena Cruz: “And what about the debut of Jakucho Akechi? She’s making her first appearance tonight. Any thoughts on her?”
Puck: (sneering) “Akechi, huh? Another newcomer thinking she’s going to change the game. Well, I’ve seen them come and go. Let her have her moment. But mark my words, she’ll learn the hard way that this business chews up and spits out those who can’t hang with the real veterans.”

[The Legends Club, including Athena, Drew Hendrix, and Buzz Marshall, surrounds the Hawaiian Hit Squad. The atmosphere becomes tense as the Legends Club looks ready for action.]

[He points to the blackjack table.]
Boyd Jackson: “Now, let’s talk about the PPV. You see, I’ve been hearing whispers that Darwin Jones might be too banged up to show up. Now, normally, I’d be disappointed not to get my hands on him, but hey, if he can’t make it, that’s on him. Darwin, buddy, you should’ve thought twice before crossing paths with the man, the myth, the legend—Boyd Jackson!”
[Boyd smirks, sipping a drink.]
Boyd Jackson: “And let me tell you, folks, I’m not even breaking a sweat in training for this one. Why bother? Darwin’s not showing up, and I’ve got this feeling of victory already flowing through my veins. So, at the PPV, when I walk into that ring, it’s going to be a walk in the park. I’ll have the ref raise my hand high, and everyone will know who the real winner is.”
