(Eddie D is around the main entrance of the arena signing autographs ahead of the event when he sees Donzig’s promo live on the stream in reception. Eddie’s mood changes suddenly by what he’s seeing and hearing, or maybe just the sight of Donzig’s face… a film crew begin to follow him because he barges through the security presence keeping fans out of the backstage. The camera crew struggle through the security and follow him.)
EDDIE: Where’s he at!!! Where’s Donzig!!
(Eddie confuses the backstage staff that he is shouting at by his sudden arrival. He grabbed one of them around the scruff of the neck and barked his question again at them. Because the poor roadie stammers and can’t grasp the question Eddie just barges past him and looks for answers elsewhere.)
EDDIE: Where is that bullshit being filmed! Is it in here?!
(Eddie bashes a door and almost takes it off the hinges. Eddie is seen looking around ready to fight and then suddenly recoils with embarrassment and averts his eyes.)
EDDIE: Sorry Blaze thought this was a media centre. This place is a fucking maze.
BLAZE: It says “Locker Room” right there! You can’t read?! Get out!! Idiot!
(The camera crew are sensible enough to avoid filming Blaze in whatever state of dress that Eddie has barged in on her in. Eddie’s embarrassment and regret for the mistake is quickly brushed off and a return to hatred for Donzig as a screen in the locker room has the Donzig’s interview continuing.)
INTERVIEW AUDIO: “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. I don't think you understand what I am, I am the inevitable! I am Death in High Places! ...”
EDDIE: I said I’m sorry damn it! I need to go kick this guy’s arse!
BLAZE: Great, go do that. Go make yourself useful for a change! GET OUT!!
(Eddie bridles at the insult and punches a hole in the flimsy door and heads down the corridor.)
EDDIE: Where’s he at!!! Where’s Donzig!!
(Eddie can feel the energy and hear the commotion of a scuffle up ahead and we see a busy troop of security guys. We can just make out a bloody Gus Arnold on the floor. Donzig can be seen in the mess of bodies and looks like he’s finished his beating of Gus and body language says he’s leaving.)
EDDIE: There he is! DONZIG!! HEY PUNK!!!
(Donzig locks eyes with Eddie and tenses up like he’s going to go back into a fighting stance ready to throw down again.)
EDDIE: DO IT!!!
(A cunning smile crosses Donzig's face. Donzig sees the fun in making Eddie wait for the fight in the ring later rather than giving him the satisfaction of a scuffle now. Donzig sneered as he walks off.)
EDDIE: BRING …. IT… ON!!! You piece of shit! Get back here!!
(Donzig just smiles and does a mock quiver motion with his hands pretending to be scared, knowing that the mass of bodies between them makes Eddie’s shouting impotent.)
EDDIE: SWAT couldn’t contain us, Donny. Tonight, I will end you! I was the Champ! I will be again! Show me some God Damned Respect!!!
(Donzig isn’t listening as the production team complain about him lashing out at Gus Arnold. Donzig just ignores them and brushes past them. Eddie rages and cuffs a couple of the security guards that are overstepping the mark in the face of his frustration. The scene fades to black with a faint chuckle from Donzig being heard in the background audio.)
