Vendetta
The camera fades in to reveal the austere interior of the office belonging to sVo COO Amy Page. Seated behind her desk, Amy Page looks directly into the camera, addressing the millions of sVo fans watching around the world.
Amy Page: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. I know you’re all eager for answers, and I’m here to provide them. As you’re well aware, our sVo Champion Night has been incapacitated for the past three weeks following a despicable attack. His health remains our utmost priority, and I assure you, we are doing everything in our power to support him in his recovery.
She pauses, her expression grave, before continuing.
Amy Page: However, with Night still in hospital and uncertain of his return, the situation regarding our main event for next week’s PPV has become increasingly precarious. And as COO of the sVo, it falls upon me to address this matter head-on.
Amy Page leans forward, her tone resolute.
Amy Page: That’s why, tonight, in a bid to determine a rightful #1 contender for the sVo Championship, we’re hosting a six-man elimination match. Anthony Moretti, Kenneth D Williams, Big Aug, Rick Reid, Trailer Trash Terry, and Johnny Dorn will all vie for the opportunity of a lifetime.
Her voice carries a note of conviction as she delivers the crucial announcement.
Amy Page: And let it be known, should Night be unable to compete next week at the Vendetta PPV, the last man standing in that ring tonight will have his arm raised in victory and become our new sVo Champion. This is not a decision we take lightly, but it’s imperative that the show must go on.
With that, Amy Page nods resolutely, signaling the gravity of the situation and the determination of the sVo to persevere in the face of adversity. The camera fades to black, leaving the audience to ponder the implications of this pivotal development.

The crowd’s reaction is mixed, with some cheering while others voice their dissent.
Johnny All Star: Amy Page, you’ve made a grave mistake leaving me out of the main event tonight. You know as well as I do that Blood Money’s hands are stained with the blood of our champion, Night!
The mention of Blood Money’s alleged involvement draws a cacophony of boos from the crowd.

The intensity in All Star’s eyes is palpable as he addresses his adversaries.
Johnny All Star: So here’s the deal, Blood Money. When one of you finally grows a pair and decides to step up next week at Vendetta, I’ll be waiting.

JVD’s expression turns serious, his eyes reflecting the weight of the situation.
JVD: It’s no secret that the sVo Championship is the pinnacle of achievement in this industry. And while the allure of holding that title is undeniable, I must tread cautiously. The stakes have never been higher for me. Ten defenses stand between me and that opportunity, knowing full well that one misstep could spell the end of my career.
There’s a palpable determination in JVD’s voice, a resolve born from the crucible of competition.
JVD: But make no mistake, Katie. I didn’t come this far to falter at the final hurdle. I’ll face each challenge head-on, with the heart of a champion and the spirit of a warrior.

Johnny All Star: (Assertive) You’re barking up the wrong tree, Kenneth. I’ve got my sights set on bigger things than petty attacks.
