The scene opens up to Raven where the camera looks around him at his house, at all his earthly possessions, all gathered in one place. His sneer dissipates, fading into a scowl now.
Raven: Look around, get all of this… DO IT!!!
Raven seizes the camera from the cameraman, knocking him to his posterior on the hardwood floor. Under Raven’s control, the camera catches all of the room we’re in; the lavishly painted walls, ornate wood columns seen rising to the arched ceilings, plush looking black leather furniture, a spiraling oak staircase leading to the loft overlooking the entire living area. Raven's breathing is heard, harsh, labored as he speaks while we catch sight of all we see before us.
Raven: Do you people see all this? Do each and every one of you insects understand how hard I worked to achieve all this, how much of my LIFE I have sacrificed in order to better myself, in order to become a world -class athlete, steeling myself, shutting my personal life off from me on a DAILY BASIS? Do you not know the struggles I’ve gone through to get all this, all the good times, the bad times, the HARDSHIPS? Tell me EBWF, TELL ME... what does Christian have that I do not, huh? Heart? Drive? Motivation? Do you mucilaginous tapeworms truly believe that he can eclipse me in any way, shape or form? Do you know what I am now willing to SACRIFICE in order to achieve my goal, in order to rip the very heart and soul from this promotion and squash it under the might of my boot, DO YOU?
The camera spins around violently, now re-focusing on Raven as he heaves with rage and anger, the pure venom and malice seen almost oozing from every pore on his body. His face is twisted and savage looking, the shadows seen dancing off of his skin, creating an image not unlike one seen in one’s nightmares. His demonic pupils seem to glow, to radiate in the dim light as he speaks yet again.
Raven: All of this; my house, my earnings, my living, my livelihood… ALL OF IT!!! If I can just see Christian destroyed, decimated at my FEET.. I would sacrifice it ALL!!! My soul, my very LIFE... I would give ANYTHING to be rid of that fake, phony impersonation of a wrestler. You people vilify me, ridicule me, put me down and look upon me as a cancer, when the true disease is and HAS BEEN standing before you this whole time. Christian and the rest of the Coalition is slowly killing the sport, making light of those with true talent, slandering their names, making them seem inadequate when, in reality, they could never hold a CANDLE to them!
Raven has clearly snapped now, a fire seen alight within his enraged blue eyes as he shifts his weight marginally, almost slithering back and forth like the animal he is.
Raven: Christian Cage....you don’t get it, do you? This is it… this is WAR, this is your final hour! Where’s your bravado… your assuring words for all your fans to hang off of like fan girls obsessed over the latest fad? Where have you been hiding? Have you realized that it’s finally all coming to an end? Have you been doing the smart thing, spending what little time you have left with your family, kissing them goodbye at night, hugging them extra tight?. There is no "S" on your chest, Christian, You’ve already let your fans down, and now, there is nothing you can say or do to make them feel comfort in this moment. This… is it.
Raven cocks his head to the side, smiling sadistically as he continues on.
Raven: Call me what you will, degrade me, tear me down with your meaningless words and insults, DO IT, show me that you still care enough to challenge me, to take me out of this rotting, decaying, sin-filled federation known as the EBWF. You’re doing nothing to accredit those who failed before you. You’ve lit a fire that is inextinguishable, Christian... you’ve awakened a monster that should have been left dormant. Now, not only are you spitting on the past, but you’re endangering the future.
Raven sneers, chuckling to himself. Raven leans over, hoisting up the EBWF Breakout Championship, slinging it over his shoulder.
Raven: You’ve been depleted, tapped out of your reserves...and yet... you STILL want to fight me. You refuse to die, and that is the very reason why you’ve set yourself up for failure. I’m laying it all on the line… I’m risking EVERYTHING here facing off with you backed by the Coalition like you were the first time we met inside a EBWF ring. I’m willing to give it ALL... so how can a man with nothing left hope to surmount those odds, huh? You had better start praying to whatever God it is that you believe in for some mercy, Christian .....because at Warfare...
Raven sneers once again.
Raven: I will have none for you. The heart and soul of the Coalition will fall before me… and when that happens, it will all belong to me… and there will be nothing that ANYONE can do to stop me. Never underestimate me, for I am Raven, YOUR EBWF BREAKOUT......
Raven begins to hit him self in the head and then stops, hair covering his eyes as he breathes in and out finishing with his last words to the viewers
Raven: Champion... Quote the Bálor Club Nevermore.....
