The scene opens up to “The High Roller” Wesley Crane’s locker room. The High Rollers Club are all inside, unwinding from their grueling matches earlier in the night. There is a doctor in the locker room, looking over Wesley. There is a nurse in there as well, stitching up Wesley’s head from where he was busted open in the Elimination Chamber.
Nurse: “Look, I know you don’t want stitches, but without them, you’re looking at a real nasty gash that’ll leave a massive scar. I think we both know you don’t want that.”
Doctor: “I think you should listen to my nurse, Wesley.”
Wesley looks less than thrilled about the idea but knows she’s right.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Alright, fine, stitch my head up, but hurry the fuck up. I don’t have all night for this shit.”
The nurse gives Wesley a shot of novacaine and then flicks him in the forehead.
Nurse: “You feel that?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: (Sarcastically) “No, I didn’t feel anything.”
Nurse: “Alright, I’m about to begin.”
The doctor grabs Wesley’s right leg and turns it at the knee. Wesley winces out in pain.
Doctor: “Does that hurt?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: (Annoyed and sarcastically) “Yeah it fucking hurts. I didn’t wince in pain because of the stitches.”
Doctor: “When I press here-”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “MOTHER FUCKER!”
Doctor: “Okay, that answers my question. Wesley, I want you to get an MRI on your knee. I gotta be honest, I’m a bit worried you may have some serious damage to your knee. When did you hurt it?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I felt something different with it shortly after I entered the match.”
Doctor: “And you wrestled the entire match like this?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I did what I had to do to keep my Naomi.”
Doctor: “Your who?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “My WUK World Championship. Speaking of Naomi, where is she? Henderson… where’s my Naomi?”
Henderson quickly brings the Wrestle:UK World Championship to Wesley. Wesley places the championship over his right shoulder. Doing that causes him to wince in pain once again.
Doctor: “I saw that. Where else are you feeling pain?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Did you even watch the match, Doc? All 6 of us are battered and bruised. We went to war out there.”
Doctor: “Okay, I’m going to ask you to switch Naomi from your right shoulder to your left. I want to see what happens.”
Wesley looks annoyed but does as he’s advised to do by the Doctor. As he switches sides with the championship, he winces in pain once again.
Doctor: “It’s your back, isn’t it?”
Wesley doesn’t want to answer, but knows he should.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Yeah. My lower back. I hurt it when I hit the flying elbow from the top of the chamber pod.”
Doctor: “Let me see.”
The doctor pushes on Wesley’s lower spine. Wesley grimaces in pain.
Doctor: “I want you to get an MRI on your lower spine as well. We need to get these done tomorrow. Would you like to get them done here or would you like to do it when you get back to the states?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’ll wait until I get back to New York.”
Doctor: “Alright, that’s fine, but until you get these results back I want you to take it as easy as possible. No crazy stuff. Rest. You need it. That also means no sex.”
Wesley shoots the Doctor a dirty look.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What the fuck did you just say?”
Doctor: “Anything movement like that could further damage your back and knee. You need to be careful, Wesley. You’re the Wrestle:UK World Champion. It’s all about priorities.”
There is a knock on the door. Henderson walks over and opens the door. In walks Katie Moss, looking as professional as ever. She walks directly up to Wesley and gives him a little kiss.
Katie Moss: “How’s he doing, Doc?”
Doctor: “Well, I’m worried he may have damaged his ACL and I’m worried about the L5/S1 in his spine. Fact is, your boyfrie-”
Wesley and Katie both speak up at the same time.
Wesley and Katie: “Whoa, slow down, Doc.”
The Doctor realizes his mistake.
Doctor: “I apologize, I assumed you two were dating.”
Katie Moss: “Dating, yes.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Boyfriend and girlfriend, negative.”
Katie Moss: “As you were saying, Doc?”
Doctor: “The fact is, Wesley took a serious beating in this match. He’s banged up pretty badly right now.”
Katie Moss: “Alright, any restrictions?”
Doctor: “Yes, I told him he needs to take it easy. Nothing strenuous. No sexual activity whatsoever.”
Katie looks surprised by this.
Katie Moss: “Um, none at all?”
Wesley gets a huge cocky grin on his face.
Doctor: “None at all.”
Katie looks at Wesley. They both grin.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Alright, Doc. No sexual activity until we figure this thing out with my back and knee.”
Doctor: “Good. In the meantime, I’m going to prescribe you some pain meds… but Wesley, you cannot drink while taking them.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I don’t take pain meds. I’ll just smoke a joint when I’m hurting and have a couple of drinks. I know my body. I know how to manage pain.”
Doctor: “Are you sure? Here, I’ll write a script for the meds and you can pick up some pain meds if you change your mind. Other than that, I’ll make contact with the best sports doctor in NY and tell him to expect you there tomorrow.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Thanks, Doc.”
Doctor: “Nurse, please grab some crutches for Wesley. He’s going to need them to get around.”
Wesley has a genuine concerned look on his face.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “How am I going to carry my other championships? I mean, I can put Naomi around my waist, but how am I going to carry my Hardkore World West Coast Championship and World Tag Team Championship?”
Doctor: “Looks like you’d better get one of your “Club Members” to carry them for you.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’m not a fan of this. Not a fan at all.”
Doctor: “I’m sorry, Champ, but it needs to be this way until we figure everything out.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I understand.”
Henderson steps into view again.
Henderson: “Sir?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What is it, Henderson?”
Henderson: “I’ve got some bad news and some bad news.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Sweet baby Jesus, what is it?”
Henderson: “Mr. Blood has made an announcement. One, the Glucks have been suspended for two shows because of what went down tonight.”
Wesley looks frustrated.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Alright, what’s the other bad news?”
Henderson: “There’s a pick your poison match coming up. You and Long will pick each other’s opponents. You can pick anyone you want to fight him… but he has the same right. He can choose anyone… and I mean anyone.”
Wesley gets a huge smile on his face.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Bad news? This is great news. I know exactly who I will choose to face him. It’s going to be-”
Henderson: “Sir, with all due respect, maybe we shouldn’t announce it yet. Maybe we should wait until the next show to tell the world.”
Wesley looks as though he’s thinking about it. He then speaks up, as if he’s just had an epiphany.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Wesley Crane thinks we should wait until the next show to tell the world.”
Henderson rolls his eyes.
Henderson: “Great idea, boss.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Henderson, get the jet ready… and for fuck’s sake, someone get my a glass of whiskey.”
Andre Reese comes walking over and hands the glass to Wesley. Wesley takes a big sip from his drink as the camera fades out.
Nurse: “Look, I know you don’t want stitches, but without them, you’re looking at a real nasty gash that’ll leave a massive scar. I think we both know you don’t want that.”
