Untouchable
[The Stratford Arena buzzes with anticipation as the theme music of the DW Heavyweight Champion, Jean Louis Duval, blares through the speakers. The boos from the crowd intensify as Duval, adorned in his lavish robe, makes his way to the ring with a smug grin on his face.]
Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the reigning DW Heavyweight Champion, Jean Louis Duval!
[Duval steps into the ring, microphone in hand, soaking in the disdain from the fans.]
Jean Louis Duval: Mesdames et messieurs, thank you, thank you! Your DW Heavyweight Champion is here, and I know you missed me.
[The crowd responds with a chorus of boos, but Duval waves them off with a dismissive gesture.]
Jean Louis Duval: Last week, I demonstrated once again why I am the top-tier athlete in this industry. I vanquished Alexander Hate, a valiant competitor, with ease. But, my friends, tonight, I have a little surprise for you all.
[Duval pauses, reveling in the anticipation he’s building. The arena goes silent, curious about the impending revelation.]
Jean Louis Duval: Allow me to introduce my new associate, the powerhouse, the former boxing sensation—Royce Lacroix!
[The crowd erupts in boos as Royce Lacroix makes his way to the ring, an imposing figure with an aura of intimidation. He stands stoically behind Duval, who continues to revel in the attention.]
Jean Louis Duval: With Royce by my side, there is no force on this planet that can wrest this championship away from me. I am untouchable!
[Duval raises his championship belt high, basking in the chorus of boos from the audience.]
Jean Louis Duval: Vous ne pouvez rien faire contre moi. I am the pinnacle of excellence, and with Royce Lacroix guarding my back, I am impervious. Get used to it, my dear fans, for I am your unbeatable DW Heavyweight Champion!
[Duval’s music blares once again as he and Lacroix exit the ring, leaving the crowd seething with resentment. The camera captures the defiant smirk on Duval’s face as they make their way up the ramp, leaving no doubt about the arrogance that defines the French champion.]

[Geoffrey Hobbs adjusts his tie, maintaining a composed and dignified demeanor.]
Geoffrey Hobbs: Thank you, William. It’s an honor to be part of the DW UK Championship tournament, and I relish the opportunity to showcase the grace and strength of British wrestling. As for the ‘Czech King’ Kral, I hold the utmost respect for my opponents, but make no mistake—I am here to ascend to the throne and claim the crown for the United Kingdom.
[Hobbs glances at the tournament bracket, a steely determination in his eyes.]
Geoffrey Hobbs: Kral, you may be a formidable competitor, but I am an English Gentleman with a legacy to uphold.

For Britain
[The locker room of British Hospitality is somber, with Kyle McRae and Alexander Hate visibly downcast after recent losses. Harry Black, however, is determined to lift their spirits.]
Harry Black: Come on, lads, no need for long faces. We’re British Hospitality, and we pick each other up. We’ve had a tough go lately, but tonight, things are going to change.
[Harry Black, exuding confidence, checks himself in the mirror, adjusting the British Hospitality logo on his wrestling gear.]
Alexander Hate: Easy for you to say, Harry. I lost to Duval last week, and Kyle got dumped out of that battle royal.
[Alexander Hate nods in agreement, frustration evident on his face.]
Harry Black: Look, I get it. We’ve hit a rough patch, but that doesn’t mean we stop fighting. Tonight, I’m stepping into the ring for the DW UK Championship. Stijn De Raaf might be a tough opponent, but I’m not backing down.
[Harry Black approaches his despondent teammates with determination.]
Harry Black: Kyle, you’ve got my back, right?
[Kyle McRae looks up, a spark of hope in his eyes.]
Kyle McRae: Always, Harry.
Harry Black: And Hate, we’ll get you back on track, no doubt. But right now, let’s focus on what we can control—my match. I’m going to bring that DW UK Championship back to British Hospitality.
[Harry Black extends a hand, and both Kyle McRae and Alexander Hate join in a show of unity.]
Alexander Hate: Let’s do it, Harry. Make British Hospitality proud.
[With renewed determination, the trio shares a collective nod, ready to face the challenges ahead. The scene fades as the three members of British Hospitality prepare for the night’s action.]

Not A Prediction, A Spoiler
[In the backstage area, Ben Noble is focused on the monitor, gearing up to watch Kandi Sparks in her DW UK Championship Tournament match.]
Ben Noble: Come on, Kandi. You’ve got this.
[Suddenly, Emily Shaw enters the scene, a smirk on her face as she approaches Ben Noble.]
Emily Shaw: Oh, Ben, save yourself the disappointment. You know Kandi is just going to lose again.
[Ben Noble glares at Emily Shaw, unamused by her presence.]
Ben Noble: Why don’t you save your negativity for someone who cares? Kandi’s a fighter, and she’s going to prove it tonight.
[Emily Shaw chuckles condescendingly.]
Emily Shaw: Fighter or not, it’s just not her night. Maybe she should consider a different career path—one that doesn’t involve stepping into the ring.
[Ben Noble clenches his fists, clearly angered by Emily Shaw’s dismissive attitude.]
Ben Noble: You don’t know the first thing about wrestling, and you certainly don’t know Kandi. So, do us all a favor and keep your opinions to yourself.
[Emily Shaw smirks and shrugs, walking away as Ben Noble refocuses on the monitor, determined to support Kandi Sparks in her tournament match.]

[Angus Blackhart takes a deep breath, his intensity palpable.]

[As Angus Blackhart speaks, Brendon Patrick enters the scene, a smirk on his face.]
Brendon Patrick: Obstacle? More like a roadblock, Angus. You might be big and strong, but I’ve got the skills to outmaneuver and outsmart you in that ring.
[The tension in the air rises, and Angus Blackhart glares at Brendon Patrick.]
Angus Blackhart: Keep talking, Patrick.
[Suddenly, without warning, Brendon Patrick slaps Angus Blackhart across the face. The sound echoes through the backstage area, and Angus Blackhart’s eyes narrow.]
Angus Blackhart: You’ll regret that.
[Before the situation escalates further, security rushes in to separate Angus Blackhart and Brendon Patrick. William Smith looks on, stunned by the sudden turn of events.]

Back on Track
[The scene opens in Matt Anarchy’s office. Anarchy is engrossed in a phone call, a stack of papers scattered on his desk. The door creaks open, and Kyle McRae enters, looking determined.]
Matt Anarchy (on the phone): Yeah, I’m telling you, we’re building something special here. The competition is fierce, but I want the best in DW.
[Anarchy glances up and sees Kyle McRae waiting patiently. He signals for McRae to take a seat.]
Matt Anarchy (continuing on the phone): Look, I’ve got another call coming in. I’ll get back to you later. Yeah, take care.
[Anarchy hangs up the phone and turns his attention to Kyle McRae.]
Matt Anarchy: What can I do for you, Kyle?
Kyle McRae: Matt, I need to get back on track. And to do that, I need to face Yutuka. It all fell apart for me when I lost that #1 contenders match against him last year.
[Anarchy raises an eyebrow, contemplating McRae’s request.]
Matt Anarchy: Yutuka, huh? Well, here’s the thing, Kyle. Yutuka’s not under DW contract anymore.
Kyle McRae: What? When did that happen?
Matt Anarchy: His contract expired on the stroke of midnight at the turn of the year. But you know what? I’ll make some calls, pull a few strings. Let’s see if we can arrange something for next week.
[Kyle McRae nods appreciatively, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.]
Kyle McRae: Thanks, Matt. I need this. I need to settle the score.
Matt Anarchy: Consider it in the works. You’ve got a chance to get back on track, Kyle. Seize it.
[As McRae leaves Anarchy’s office, the GM begins dialling his phone again, determined to make things happen for the Scottish wrestler.]
