Location: ThrillBorn Studios Personal Training Ring
Inside ThrillBorn Studios’ personal training area, Christian Phoenix trains with tag partner & ThrillBorn bandmate Axl Royce in what seems like just another day in the life. A series of technical transitions, lockups and self-created training methods to keep Christian at his best athletically. Sitting outside of the ring, is an unfamiliar face to the viewers. A girl with long hair dyed pink sits on a chair at ringside with a notepad, vigorously writing and watching the two guys inside the ring. After the lengthy first half of the training session ends, Christian & Axl get out of the ring and grab a towel each to wipe the sweat off of their bodies. The girl comes over to them, notepad in one hand, water bottle in the other:
Axl: Thanks, Stace!
Stacy: No problem, Ax. You guys really are working on a whole other level in there.
Christian: Yeah, I mean we do what we gotta do. Learn anything from the outside?
Stacy: *holds up the notepad* A little bit.
The three all laugh together when Christian’s cellphone rings. He steps away to take the call.
Christian: Hello?
???: Christian, it’s Toby Reese. I’ve got some news for you.
Christian: What’s up, T?
Toby: I got a call today inquiring about your next booking.
Christian: Alright, what are we looking at?
Toby: Well, there’s an event coming up soon called Xtraction: Blood Money. Seems like there’s been a change to the card, that guy you beat on the last Anonymous Assault card was pulled from his match, so it sounds like you’ll be taking his place. You’re fighting Maverick. This is a big one for you, Chris. Sorry for the short notice, but this is happening on June 3rd. I’ll catch up with you later when more details become clear.
ThrillBorn’s manager, Toby Reese hangs up on his end. Christian stands there in shock, trying to process what he’s just been told. Axl & Stacy come up, curious as to what just occurred.
Axl: What’s up, C?
Stacy: Who was that? What did they want?
Christian: It was Toby. I’ve got a match coming up at the Xtraction: Blood Money event on June 3rd.
Axl: Badass! Who are you fighting?
Christian: Well, according to Toby, it’s Maverick. Sounds like Brad Swann pulled out last minute.
Axl: Damn, for real? That’s a big match right there…
Stacy: Yeah! So what are you gonna do, Christian?
Christian: Well, while I’ve still got time, I’m gonna go do a bit of research inside, see what I can figure out about his style. Once I figure that out I can train to fit the style that properly combats his own. So yeah, I’ll be back in a bit guys.
Christian leaves the training area and heads inside the Studio trailer. He pulls up his laptop and begins searching for Maverick matches.
*3 hours later*
Christian finally finishes the first round of scouting, watching a variety of different Maverick matches. Briefly pondering for a moment, he decides it’s time to put out a video addressing his opponent at Blood Money.
Screen goes black, when a sudden burst of flames appears in the center, and a Phoenix logo comes out through the flames. Christian Phoenix is shown standing in front of the ThrillBorn training ring.
Christian Phoenix: So, at Xtraction: Blood Money, I’m going into what is undoubtedly my biggest match since joining the XHF Network. Maverick, I know you were expecting Brad Swann, but as you can clearly see, plans have changed, and now you’re fighting ME. I’ve been watching your style very closely ever since the announcement was made, Maverick, and I’ve got to admit, you’re a pretty tough guy to read at times. You’re fast, strong, and undeniably graceful. But so am I. I know you’ve had to have been watching me over at AXW, especially when you thought it would be Brad Swann you were facing. You ought to know that even on my worst day I am still one hell of a fighter. You ought to know, that no matter what, whether it be rain, sleet, snow, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, anything, I am going to be there front & center ready to fight! My heart, my speed, and my determination outweigh that of a normal human being, Maverick, but again, you should know that. And with the opportunity to cement a place for AXW in the Night of Champions 9 main event? That just fires me up even more, that gives me a reason to fight harder than I have EVER fought in my entire life! To represent AXW in this match means more to me than anyone could ever understand… So typically, I would say “may the best man win,” but this time? This time, I NEED TO WIN THIS. This match is the ultimate opportunity to prove my worth to AXW. And if I fail here, I let AXW down, I let my fans down, and all my words fall to the ground. I won’t let this chance slip away. I simply can’t. So Maverick, train as hard as you can, I’ll train that much harder. Study as much as you can, I will study that much more. And in that ring, show me your best so I can give you my greatest. So at Blood Money, Maverick, you will find out that when you mess with The Livewire, you’ll only get shocked! And that is why I am LOUDER THAN LIFE. See you soon, Maverick…
Camera slowly fades to black...
Christian lets out a breath, hoping that does the trick. All of a sudden, the sound of clapping rings throughout the small building, breaking the silence and startling Phoenix. He swerves around to see Axl & Stacy both applauding and laughing. Christian flashes a grin back at the two of them, and then Christian and Axl jump back into the ring to continue their training from earlier while Stacy takes her seat back, ready to take some more notes...
