Sofia Petrova: “Wolfgang, you’re about to face Mateusz Nowark in a crucial match tonight. You’re currently ranked #3, and this match could significantly impact your standing in the league. How are you feeling heading into this bout?”
Wolfgang Schneider: [nodding confidently] “I’ve prepared for this match with everything I’ve got, Sofia. Mateusz Nowark is known for his underhanded tactics, but I’m not going to let that distract me. I’m focused on what I need to do in that ring – and that’s to win.”
Sofia Petrova: “Nowark is definitely a competitor who’s not afraid to play dirty. Do you have any special strategies or preparations to counteract his tactics?”
Wolfgang Schneider: “I’ve trained for every possible scenario, including the dirty tricks. I’m ready to handle whatever he throws at me. It’s about staying sharp and not letting his games get to me. Tonight, it’s about proving that true strength and discipline will always prevail.”
Sofia Petrova: “You’ve had an impressive run in the league so far, but Nowark has been known to be a formidable opponent with a reputation for—”

Wolfgang Schneider: [gritting his teeth] “That cowardly move doesn’t change anything. If anything, it’s fueled my resolve. Mateusz Nowark can try all he wants to get in my head, but it won’t work. I’m going to take that anger and use it to my advantage in the ring. I’ll make sure he regrets that move.”

Sofia Petrova: “You’ve had a challenging run so far this season, and you’re currently at the bottom of the league table. How important is this match for you in terms of turning things around?”
Kral: “This match is everything. I’ve had a rough start, but I’m not giving up. Tonight is my chance to show everyone what I’m truly capable of. Erik is ranked higher, but I see that as motivation. I’m going to use that to fuel my performance and climb out of this hole.”
Sofia Petrova: “Erik Bjornsson has been gaining momentum recently, picking up a few wins after a slow start. What’s your strategy to counteract his recent success and secure the win tonight?”

Sofia Petrova: “It sounds like you’re fully prepared and determined. Is there anything else you’d like to say to your fans or to Erik before you step into the ring?”

Every match, every challenge, it’s all about climbing to the top and staying there.”
Sofia Petrova: “You’ve been balancing your time between the European Wrestling League and competing in Project:Violence as well as the XWF recently. How do you manage to stay at the top of your game across multiple promotions?”
Adam Garcia: “It’s all about discipline and determination. Managing my schedule, staying in peak physical condition, and keeping my mind sharp – that’s how I do it. I’ve got a lot on my plate, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m driven to be the best in every ring I step into.”
Sofia Petrova: “Speaking of high standards, Jon Page, the owner of the Sanctioned Violence Network, was a former XWF Universal Champion himself. Does knowing that add extra motivation for you?”
Adam Garcia: [nodding] “Absolutely. If he could reach the top in XWF, then I’ve got to keep pushing until I reach the top here as well. I’m not just fighting for myself but for my place in history. Every victory gets me one step closer to that goal.”
Sofia Petrova: “It sounds like you have a clear vision and strong motivation. What can your fans expect from you tonight?”
Adam Garcia: “Expect nothing less than a relentless fight. I’m going to give everything I’ve got in that ring. Alexandre Rochefort might be the crowd favorite here, but I’m going to show everyone why I’m the P:V Heavyweight Champion and why I’m gunning for that top spot in the EWL. Watch me rise to the occasion.”
Sofia Petrova: “Thank you, Adam. Best of luck in your match tonight.”
