Rumble Time

EBWF.net Exclusive

The Royal Rumble logo flashed in the center of the screen and faded in on Randy Orton casually poking around on his smart phone when Renee Young appeared in front of him.

Renee Young: Randy, I am obligated to come over here and get your ...

Randy Orton: Uh, yeah. Sorry, I already bought girl scout cookies from my daughter. You'll have to--

Randy casually looked up and noticed Renee standing there. He shrugged his shoulders.

Randy Orton: Oh. Hey.

Randy slipped his phone into the pocket of his jeans.

Randy Orton: I suppose you want to apologize to me about our last encounter, yeah?

Renee took a deep breath.

Renee Young: Let's not waste any more time, okay? I want to get your thoughts on the Royal Rumble.

Randy Orton: Words can't express how excited I am, Renee.

Randy's deadpan expression made Renee roll her eyes.

Renee Young: You're not taking this seriously, are you?

Randy Orton: Renee, I'm going to go out there, hit a couple RKO's, torment who ever is in there when Edge shows up. That's kind of what I do.

Renee Young: You don't plan on winning the Royal Rumble and getting a shot at the EBWF World Championship in the main event of Wrestlemania?

Randy Orton: Oh, of course I do. Who do you think I am?

Renee Young: Well, let's see here. Kind of a jerk. You had the world title a couple of times. You're ego is ridiculously oversized. I think you won King of the Ring once or twice, and--

Randy Orton: Wow, you're a poet. I'm having you write my Hall of Fame induction speech.

Renee Young: I feel like you're wittier when Edge is around.

Randy Orton: Tough, but fair.

Renee Young: Listen, I'm just here to get any thoughts about the Royal Rumble PPV.

Randy Orton: Here's a thought. There's 28 people in this match that I dislike. That includes whatever "surprise entrants" that Wes dug up from the doldrums of irrelevance to appear on this show for the one-time check. I'm sure Kevin Nash will be waddling out there, as well as Bret Hart and someone else who's sell by date expired before my career started. So what I'm going to do is go out there tonight and ensure that I end the dreams of as many aspiring world champions as I can. Because even if I don't win the Royal Rumble, I can at least eliminate pretentious people like Zahra Schreiber from the competition.

Renee Young: Randy, Zahra's not in the match. She's a woman.

Randy Orton: You just have to suck the joy out of everything.

Randy brushed past Renee and walked out of the scene. Renee exasperatedly threw her arms up in the air as she walked off and the camera faded to black.
