[The door swings open to reveal Amy Page, who eyes Moretti with a mix of curiosity and caution.]
Amy Page: Anthony, what brings you here?
Anthony Moretti: Amy, I’m here to address a problem. James Von Drake thinks he can waltz back in here and lay claim to my championship. But I won’t stand for it.
Amy Page: (nodding) I understand your frustration, Anthony. But as you know, there are rules and procedures in place.
Anthony Moretti: (impatiently) Rules? Procedures? I don’t care about that, Amy. I want action.
Amy Page: (sighing) Look, Anthony, I can’t just strip James of his opportunity. But I can make sure he faces an opponent of your choosing next time he defends the Roulette Championship.
Anthony Moretti: (eyes narrowing) And what’s in it for you?
Amy Page: (smirking) Let’s just say I have a favor I might need from you down the line.
Anthony Moretti: (gritting his teeth) Fine, Amy. You’ve got a deal. But in return, I want Junior Gambino to put an end to James Von Drake’s career tonight.
Amy Page: (considering) Junior Gambino versus James Von Drake for all the titles… That could be quite the spectacle.
Anthony Moretti: Damn right it will be. And mark my words, after tonight, James Von Drake will regret ever crossing paths with Blood Money.
[With their agreement reached, Anthony Moretti exits the office with a determined stride, leaving Amy Page to contemplate the unfolding events of the evening.]

Kenneth D Williams: Yeah, Johnny. I did.
Johnny All Star: (cautiously) What’s on your mind?
Kenneth D Williams: You and me, Johnny. Tonight, in the main event.
Johnny All Star: (surprised) Me and you? What’s this about, Ken?
Kenneth D Williams: You know damn well what it’s about, Johnny. A few weeks ago, you swung that steel chair and hit me square in the face.
Johnny All Star: (holding up his hands) Ken, I’ve told you before, that was an accident. I was trying to help you, not hurt you.
Kenneth D Williams: (shaking his head) I don’t buy it, Johnny. Accident or not, you need to pay for what you did.
Johnny All Star: (sighing) Ken, I’ve apologized a hundred times over. I never meant to hurt you.
Kenneth D Williams: (adamantly) It’s not about apologies, Johnny. It’s about respect. You disrespected me that night, and now you’re going to face the consequences.
Johnny All Star: (defeated) Fine, Ken. If that’s how you want it, then let’s settle it in the ring tonight.

Unpredictable
[In the backstage area of the Goodfellas Casino Arena, Katie Smith stands ready with her microphone as Johnny Dorn approaches, his expression a mix of determination and frustration.]
Katie Smith: Johnny, last week at Vendetta, you came up short against Trailer Trash Terry in what was a hard-fought battle. How are you feeling after that loss?
Johnny Dorn: Katie, losing to Terry was a tough pill to swallow, no doubt about it. But I’m not dwelling on the past. I’m focused on what’s ahead.
Katie Smith: And what’s ahead is a showdown against Carny Sinclair, a competitor known for his unpredictable and often dangerous tactics. How do you plan to approach this match?
Johnny Dorn: Carny Sinclair may be unpredictable, but I’ve faced my fair share of challenges in this ring. As for Reznikov being in his corner, well, I’ve dealt with distractions before. Nothing is going to shake me from my game plan.
Katie Smith: Your confidence is certainly evident, Johnny. Do you have any specific strategies in mind for dealing with Sinclair and Reznikov?
Johnny Dorn: Katie, when it comes down to it, it’s about focus and determination. I’m not going to let Sinclair’s mind games or Reznikov’s interference throw me off course. I’ll step into that ring tonight ready to fight and ready to win.
Katie Smith: Thank you for your time, Johnny. Good luck out there tonight.
[As Johnny Dorn nods in appreciation, his eyes reflect a steely resolve, signaling his readiness to face whatever challenges lie ahead in his matchup against Carny Sinclair.]

A Plan from a Mad Man
Katie Smith: Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with Trailer Trash Terry, who seems to be in a rather foul mood tonight. Terry, you just witnessed Johnny Dorn’s victory over Carny Sinclair. What are your thoughts on that match?
Trailer Trash Terry: (Fuming, arms crossed) Thoughts? I’ll tell you my thoughts, Katie. I’m sick and tired of watching Dorn get handed opportunity after opportunity while I sit here twiddling my thumbs.
Katie Smith: It sounds like you’re frustrated, Terry. Can you elaborate on why you feel this way?
Trailer Trash Terry: (Voice rising) Damn right, I’m frustrated! Last week at the PPV, I showed Dorn exactly what I’m made of. I beat him fair and square in the middle of that ring. And what do I get in return? Nothing! No title shot, no spotlight, no main event, nothing!
Katie Smith: So, you believe you deserve more?
Trailer Trash Terry: (Nods vehemently) You’re damn right I do!
Katie Smith: What do you plan to do about it, Terry?
Trailer Trash Terry: (Grins menacingly) Oh, don’t you worry, Katie. I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve. When Trailer Trash Terry sets his sights on something, he doesn’t stop until he gets it.
Katie Smith: Strong words from Trailer Trash Terry. Thank you for your time, Terry.
Trailer Trash Terry: (Nods, smirking) Anytime, Katie. And remember, Johnny Dorn may have won tonight, but his victory won’t last long once I get my hands on him again.
[With a determined gleam in his eye, Trailer Trash Terry storms off, leaving Katie Smith to ponder the implications of his ominous warning.]

[There’s a hint of arrogance in Domino’s tone as he looks down at his attire, his eyes glinting with pride. Sterling, though visibly irritated by his recent loss, maintains his composure, though a fire burns in his eyes.]
Alex Sterling: (Nods) Yeah, well, winning isn’t everything, Danny. There’s more to this business than just the outcomes of matches.
Danny Domino: (Raises an eyebrow) Oh, really? Enlighten me, Alex. What else is there?
Alex Sterling: (Clenches his fists) Respect, for starters. Respect for your opponents, respect for the business, and respect for yourself.
[Domino chuckles softly, seemingly amused by Sterling’s earnestness. He straightens up, his demeanor oozing with confidence as he locks eyes with Sterling.]
Danny Domino: Respect, huh? That’s cute, Alex. But let me give you a little piece of advice – respect doesn’t win matches. Skill, determination, and a killer instinct do. And right now, you could use a bit more of all three.
[Sterling’s jaw tightens, his resolve hardening as he squares his shoulders, refusing to back down in the face of Domino’s arrogance.]
Alex Sterling: Maybe you’re right, Danny. Maybe I do need to up my game. But mark my words – I’ll show you and everyone else what I’m truly capable of. Just you wait and see.
[With that, Sterling turns on his heel and strides away, leaving Domino to ponder his words. As Sterling disappears into the bustling backstage area, Domino watches him go, a sly grin curling his lips.]
Danny Domino: (Under his breath) We’ll see about that, Alex. We’ll see.
[With a confident smirk, Domino readjusts his gear and heads off down the corridor, his mind already focused on his next challenge.]

[Katie Smith nods approvingly, ready to ask another question, but before she can, the Sin City Scoundrels, Michael and Lucas Sexton, approach with determination in their eyes.]
Michael Sexton: Hold on just a minute there, Canadian Connection. We saw what you did at the PPV, and we’ll give credit where it’s due. But don’t think for a second that we’re going to stand back and watch you enjoy those belts without a fight.
