We open on Dylan, dressed in a tank top, sweat pants and sneakers. He sits on the edge of a table, the kitchen table of the XHF Network House, looking down at the floor. His hair dangling over his face. A roaring applause is heard as Dylan shakes his head, before tapping his phone screen and it stops. Of course it was an audio clip. He has only one arm how could he clap. Dylan sighs and flips his hair back, staring into the camera.
Congratulations, Rey. You did exactly what you said you'd do. You went out there and put down the false god Misha, then you went and beat Lord Dominicus. In a dance off. Wow. Your reign has just been immeasurable so far.
He rolls his eyes. Dylan clearly doesn't think much of the first days of El Rey's reign with the X*Crown. A sly smirk creeps onto his face and he rolls his neck to one side.
Unfortunately, your unstoppable reign of terror now faces the immovable object in the greatest X*Crown Champion of the Network Era. You have grown a lot since our last fight, in the finals of the King of Hokkaido tournament last June. But as you've had time to evolve, become a fierce fighter, and of course become X*Crown Champion, I've had the time to evolve too! Sure, I lost my arm to that slimy gremlin Steve Asshat but if there's one lesson I can impart on my young opponent, it's that evolution always outpaces everything around it. I'm now limited to one arm, but I've also learned to work without it during this temporary setback. I know that you are one of the wiliest people in the entire Network and that being short an entire limb puts me at a major disadvantage. It always will. That's why I had to evolve to a newer form, a better Dylan Black!
Dylan rolls his neck to the other side and pushes off the table. He lands on his feet and grabs the camera, crouching down to meet it.
And that's what everyone wants, right? The best our new champ has to offer against the best the grizzled, slimy, one armed rat of a challenger can put up. People are going to look fondly upon this night for a variety of reasons. The night Dylan and El Rey have their best match ever. The day history was made, as the first person to ever become a three-time X*Crown Champion Dylan Black puts the young brat in his place and embarrasses him in front of his family! Tracy Venom is gonna disown you for bringing shame unto your family name!
Dylan stops, grins, and points a finger at the camera.
And after I beat your ass for the X*Crown, and win the FIRESIDE Tag Team Championships from your not-dad and Curtis D. Kanyon, I'm officially kicking your ass out of New Money. Evan just might make an exception to his rules when he has the greatest wrestler in the world at his side holding the most important championships in wrestling all together.
He stands up and grabs his phone off the counter. He points it at the camera.
El Rey calls himself a boy raised by wolves! Only a bitch would be raised by wolves. I am a MAN, and you know what one of the main predators of wolves is? MEN! I WILL BREAK THE BITCH RAISED BY WOLVES AND I WILL RETAKE MY STRANGLEHOLD AS THE FIRST-EVER THREE TIME X*CROWN CHAMPION! BELIEVE THAT, BOY!
He throws his phone at the camera.
BEWARE THE DAEMON OF MAYHEM! BEWARE DYLAN BLACK!
The feed fades to this image, but runs for a few seconds more as Dylan's voice is still heard.
Shit, fuck. Dammit. Why did I throw that? That was so stupid!
Sharp cut to black. Fin.
