No Deal
[The backstage area at the Goodfellas Casino Arena is abuzz with anticipation as Uprising 53 gets underway in Las Vegas. Elena Cruz, the determined backstage interviewer, is stationed in the corridor, ready to catch up with the superstars for interviews. Nearby, Stevie Rigg, the gruff fan favorite, is keeping a close eye on the events unfolding in the arena.]
[Elena Cruz spots Stevie Rigg and approaches him with her microphone in hand. She knows there’s been some tension between Rigg and Darwin Jones, and she’s curious to get his perspective.]
Elena Cruz: [Eagerly] Stevie Rigg, we just witnessed Darwin Jones pick up a victory in the opening match tonight. He seems to be on a roll lately. Have you had a chance to reconsider his offer to team up and take on The Legends Club next week?
[Stevie Rigg narrows his eyes as he watches Darwin Jones celebrating his win in the distance. He’s clearly deep in thought.]
Stevie Rigg: [Gruffly] Elena, Darwin’s a tough competitor, no doubt about it. But right now, my mind is focused on one thing – winning the main event tonight against Boyd Jackson and earning another shot at Curtis Knight’s title.
[Elena Cruz nods, understanding the importance of the main event match.]
Elena Cruz: [Respectfully] Winning the main event would be a significant achievement, Stevie. But what about the offer to join forces with Darwin Jones to take on The Legends Club? Is it completely off the table?
[Stevie Rigg remains steadfast in his resolve, but he glances back at Darwin Jones, who is still celebrating.]
Stevie Rigg: [Firmly] Elena, I appreciate Darwin’s offer, but right now, I’ve got my own path to follow. The P:V Championship is all I care about, and Curtis Knight is the man who’s holding it. If Darwin wants to deal with The Legends Club, that’s his business. I’ve got my sights set on gold.
[Elena Cruz nods understandingly and wishes Stevie Rigg luck in his main event match. As she walks away, Stevie Rigg continues to keep a close watch on the unfolding events, determined to secure victory and a chance at the P:V Championship later in the evening.]

Answer Phone
[The atmosphere in JD James’ office is tense as the Chief Operating Officer of P:V sits behind his desk, a sense of unease palpable in the room. The Legends Club, comprised of Curtis Knight, Athena, Buzz Marshall, and Drew Hendrix, has stormed into his office, their imposing presence sending a clear message.]
Curtis Knight: [Smirking] Well, well, well, JD James. It seems like you’ve been quite busy lately, making secret calls. We just want to know who you were chatting with last week on Uprising.
[Athena leans in closer, her piercing gaze fixed on JD James.]
Athena: [Coldly] We’re not fans of secrets, JD. It’s not good for business.
[Buzz Marshall and Drew Hendrix flank Curtis Knight and Athena, their silent but intimidating presence adding to the pressure.]
JD James: [Nervous] Look, I have my responsibilities as the COO of P:V. That call was a private matter.
[Curtis Knight takes a step closer, his voice dripping with menace.]
Curtis Knight: [Menacingly] JD, you’d better start talking. We’re not asking nicely anymore.
[JD James looks around at the imposing quartet, weighing his options.]
JD James: [Reluctant] I can’t reveal the details of that call. It’s confidential.
[Drew Hendrix clenches his fists, his frustration growing.]
Drew Hendrix: [Gruffly] This isn’t a game, JD. We’re not leaving until you spill the beans.
[Athena leans even closer, her expression turning icier.]
Athena: [Threateningly] You’re going to regret keeping secrets from The Legends Club.
[JD James is clearly rattled but maintains his stance.]
JD James: [Defiant] I won’t be bullied into revealing confidential information.
[Curtis Knight exchanges a glance with his fellow members of The Legends Club, and there’s a tense silence in the room. It’s clear that JD James is not going to cooperate willingly.]
Curtis Knight: [Coldly] Very well, JD. We’ll find out one way or another.
[With that ominous threat hanging in the air, The Legends Club exits JD James’ office, leaving the COO to contemplate the repercussions of his refusal to disclose the contents of that mysterious phone call. The power struggle within P:V has just taken a more dangerous turn.]

I’ve Been Watching

Bjorn Asulf: [In his deep, resonant voice] Teddy Rush, I’ve been keeping an eye on your matches. You’ve been picking up wins and making a name for yourself here in P:V.
[Teddy Rush, clearly flattered by the recognition, nods appreciatively.]
Teddy Rush: [Grateful] Thank you, Bjorn. I’ve been working hard to prove myself and climb the ranks.
Bjorn Asulf: [Respectfully] And you’re doing just that. If you manage to secure another victory tonight against Greg Stanley, I’ll be more than willing to defend my P:V TV Championship against you in the future.
[Teddy Rush’s eyes light up with excitement at the prospect of a championship opportunity.]
Teddy Rush: [Determined] You can count on it, Bjorn. I’m not just here to win matches; I’m here to become a champion. If I defeat Greg Stanley tonight, I’ll be coming for that TV Championship.
[Bjorn Asulf nods, a show of respect for the young competitor’s ambition.]

Not On My Level
[Backstage at Uprising 53, the bustling arena serves as the backdrop for an interview segment with Elena Cruz, the ambitious backstage interviewer, and Brandon Snyder, the enigmatic and self-assured heel of P:V. Cruz approaches Snyder, holding her microphone ready for the interview.]
Elena Cruz: [Eagerly] Brandon Snyder, last week, during your match against James Mendoza, you walked out, leaving the match unfinished. Can you explain your actions to the P:V Universe?
[Brandon Snyder chuckles arrogantly, seemingly amused by the question. He smirks as he responds.]
Brandon Snyder: [Smugly] Elena, why do you even need an explanation? It’s quite simple, really. James Mendoza doesn’t belong in the same ring as me. I’m on a different level, a higher plane of existence when it comes to wrestling talent.
[Elena Cruz raises an eyebrow, sensing the arrogance in Snyder’s tone.]
Elena Cruz: [Persistently] But walking out on a match? Isn’t that a bit disrespectful to the fans and to your opponent?
[Brandon Snyder leans in closer, his smirk widening as he speaks condescendingly.]
Brandon Snyder: [Mocking] Elena, let me make this crystal clear. I don’t owe anyone an explanation, especially not the fans, and certainly not James Mendoza. I have bigger things to focus on, and Mendoza just doesn’t cut it.
[With that, Brandon Snyder turns away from Elena Cruz, leaving her with no further answers. As he walks off, his arrogance and disdain for James Mendoza are evident, and the unresolved tension between the two rivals continues to simmer backstage at Uprising 53.]
