The scene opens up inside the kitchen in Rage and Cage’s suite at Wesley Crane’s hotel. A salt shaker and a pepper shaker sit on the marble counter with space between the two as if a plate will soon be set. The head of Nic Cage, however, lowers to the marble between the shakers. He looks at the salt, then to the pepper. He finally stares straight at the camera.
Cage: Really?
Cage stands up and walks into the entertaining area of the suite. He stands in front of the window of the Syracuse skyline.
Cage: I don’t hate the idea of sequels, but some things don’t need to be revisited. Salt? Pepper? What’s left? Honestly…
Cage gives that asshole-y smirk at the mention of his middle name.
Cage: I can’t find a reason to care about wrestling you again. I was even considering skipping the match to focus on the battle royal for the High Rollers Club. However, a little birdy named Henderson told me that the winner of this match is going to get a tag title shot in the future. Okay, that changes things. Player 2 is entering the match!
Cage looks off-camera and smirks. He holds out his hand, and it’s tagged. Cage exits as “Woke” Wesley Rage enters the shot and stands in front of the skyline.
Rage: I’m tagging in! I didn’t need to tell Nic. He sensed it! That’s the advantage of us being brothers. We're a blood family, not a family of privilege and corruption like the Bastards! If you don’t think that matters, then go back and watch Legacy! Rage and Cage went three and one. We beat the Black Knife Cabal, who beat the Bastards. We beat Salt and Pepper! We beat the Dark Stars! The Bastards were three and two. They were the weaker team!
Rage is getting fired up. He turns around and glares at the skyline before turning back around and facing the camera.
Rage: We called it! Everything we said was right! The Dark Stars weren’t worth our time. We said that before the match! Frank Windsor was the weak link just like we said. The Bastards were one and one with Windsor, and two and one with Rob Riot. Windsor only wrestled one match before he got to us. There’s a reason he was the least used! Rob Riot was on his third match while we were on our fourth! The Bastards also had Billy Fowler at ringside to help them out! Everyone saw that Rage and Cage were the better team!
Rage lets out a primal scream that rocks his whole body. He stumbles back, but catches himself.
Rage: Salt and Pepper are going to pay the price for the sins of WUK and the Bastards. If you want to complain about me not pinning the legal person, you’re gonna make your beating even worse! The smart thing would be to get out of our way. Rage and Cage are dangerous. Rage and Cage are righteous. We are the people’s tag team. We are the people’s World Champion. We brought the tag team titles home to the people. That was the worst thing to happen to WUK. That didn’t satiate our hunger! We’re even hungrier!
Rage pauses to relive some of the moments of glory from Legacy.
Rage: Salt and Pepper, this isn’t personal. You’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. Normally, I am the biggest supporter of people with uteruses. I would usually root for you, but that can’t be the case at St. Patrick’s Day Massacre. That said, I will mow you down with equal savagery that I would give to people with penises. I hope you appreciate how much respect I’m giving you.
Rage holds out his hand, and it’s tagged by his brother. Rage moves out of the shot and Cage slides back in.
Cage: I want you to know that I was asked to play a major role in Fast and Furious 11. I was going to play the role of Vin's son. Someone he never realized he had… but now there's this "premium live event" that I need to deal with. You see, Bastards, we've dealt with you before and we proved we were the best team. You should have done the respectable thing and stayed down. We would be the new tag team champions… but no, that can't happen because the Bastards went off and did a very Bastard like thing. They once again cheated to win the match. It's disgusting and pathetic. Take your loss like real men and let the new blood take over. It's inevitable either way. First we deal with Salt and Pepper. I didn't realize those rappers were wrestlers too.
We can hear Rage telling Cage what's really going on.
Cage: No shit? They're not the real Salt and Pepper?
You can hear Rage say "no."
Cage: Well I'll be damned… Salt and Pepper, the two of you have no chance of beating the people's champions. We are the hottest team in the world. We are the future. We will take you out just like we're taking everyone else out. Hashtag Facts!
Cage reaches his hand out to tag in Rage. Rage tags in and takes Cage’s place.
Rage: Hashtag? Are we chasing young millennials?
Rage reads Cage’s reaction and shrugs.
Rage: At least Salt and Pepper have experience being salty because I guarantee they won’t be happy after St. Patrick’s Day! I respect you both for being proud independent women, but the greater good is served by me and Nic winning. If you went anywhere else in XHF, you’d be the favorites to be tag team champions. Unfortunately, you picked the one fed where that’s impossible

Cage: No shame in losing to the best!
Rage: Exactly! Forget Bastardpalooza! We’ll be having the High Roller High Holidays!
