Magic Number

[Backstage at sVo Proving Grounds 19, Katie Smith stands ready with a microphone in hand, set to interview the current Roulette Champion, Johnny Dorn. The Roulette Championship glimmers over Dorn’s shoulder as he steps into the frame, exuding confidence and determination.

Katie Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the current Roulette Champion, Johnny Dorn. Johnny, you’ve had an impressive streak of successful title defenses. What’s your mindset going into tonight’s main event against CJ Dreamer?

Johnny Dorn: Katie, it’s simple. I’m going into that main event to do what I do best—defend this Roulette Championship. CJ Dreamer is a formidable opponent, but I’ve faced the best, and I’ve come out on top every single time.

[The crowd watching on the backstage screen cheers in agreement with Dorn’s words.]

Katie Smith: And looking ahead, you mentioned on social media about defending your title again tomorrow night on Showdown. What’s the motivation behind that decision?

[Dorn taps the Roulette Championship, a symbol of his dominance and commitment to the division.]

Katie Smith: That’s an impressive milestone, Johnny. And after your tenth defense, what’s next for you?

Johnny Dorn: Next? It’s time to cash in. After tomorrow night, I’m officially declaring my intent to cash in this Roulette Championship for a shot at the sVo Championship. Night, you better be ready, because I’m coming for that title.

[The intensity in Johnny Dorn’s eyes conveys the seriousness of his declaration. The backstage area buzzes with anticipation as the Roulette Champion lays out his ambitious plans for the future.]

Katie Smith: Strong words, Johnny. The sVo faithful will be watching closely. Anything else you’d like to add before tonight’s main event?

Johnny Dorn: CJ Dreamer, enjoy your moment in the spotlight because after tonight, it’s back to the drawing board for you. And Night, get ready, because Johnny Dorn is on a path to the sVo Championship, and nothing and no one will stand in my way.

[With that, Johnny Dorn confidently heads toward the arena, leaving Katie Smith and the backstage area abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming main event.]
