The Undisputed Conquest

[William]

The sound of drums echo through as the darkness shifts to both Will Ospreay and Adam Cole standing face to face. The drums pick up and in tune with the beat, shots of the US title, the United Empire flag, the Boom, and the Hidden Blade all come in melodic harmony. In front of the scene, text fades into view. “The Undisputed Conquest”. Clearly a reference to Adam Cole and the United Empire’s latest journey, however, is that all this references? The drums pick up as each shot shows a new move of Adam Cole and Will Ospreay before leading into the match graphic of Will Ospreay versus Adam Cole for the Gateway Championship in a steel cage at Christmas Eve of Destruction.

The graphic is eaten up by flames and is replaced with a shot of Will Ospreay dressed in a new black suit, immaculately standing in front of the United Empire flag draped on a Natural Stone Brick Wall. The gray is perfectly neutral to allow the greens, blacks, and whites to stand out. It also allows Will Ospreay’s blue eyes to illuminate in the shot as he looks out to the audience through the camera eye. It is here that the bruises and discoloration in Ospreay’s face can be noticed from the Triple Threat last week.

Will Ospreay: I don’t think people understand why I came here to the EBWF. Why we came here to the EBWF, why we are invading.To be honest, mate, I don’t think they even understand why we are calling our stand an invasion.

The shot cuts to show the United Empire planting the flag, highlighting each member's face as the flag waves behind them. After only a few moments, it cuts back to Will Ospreay.

Will Ospreay: I was making good money in Japan, England, Europe, here in the US working Indys at the highest level available. I don’t think anyone who has seen me could debate that I have been the best in the world for at least the last two years. If not longer. Then you have an amazing Olympic level wrestler in Jeff Cobb and a overall wrestler and martial artist the caliber of the Great-O-Khan -

Ospreay’s face scrunches as he pauses his thought and scratches his cheek, clearly irritated by the overall message he is intending to say.

Will Ospreay: Look at last week, bruv! We got a standing ovation for one of the best matches this year. Not in the EBWF but in the entire scope of the wrestling world! That was without one original EBWF roster member, without the hand of EBWF guiding it, we stole the whole damn show by beating the living s[censored]t out of each other! Only to have another EBWF guy come and try to ride off our coattails.

Will pauses, as the scene cuts to show highlights of that match last week. Every big moment caught up to the three men coming together at the end before Adam Cole steps into the ring. Cutting once more to Will Ospreay.

Will Ospreay: Sure, you can say now we have a bigger stage thanks to the EBWF, but I say, we’re creating our stage in spite of them. Every moment we have, we create on our backs! These f[censored]ing ass[censored] -

Will again pauses, cutting off his own train of thought, and wipes the spittle off his mouth. Regaining his composure, Ospreay continues.

Will Ospreay: I don’t think people understand why we invaded but I know for certain people don’t understand my fight against Adam Cole in the Steel Cage coming up this Christmas Eve. Well more importantly, they don’t understand what he has done to the Gateway Championship and my conquest!

The camera cuts to a zoom on Ospreay’s eyes and the seriousness in his face before cutting back to the standard flat shot.

Will Ospreay: Let me take you back, and I know, people are going to think it comes from him beating the piss out of Kyle, but I don’t give a f[censored]k about a single fight. They think the message was sent and I would be angry about Kyle losing, but the only thing that said is that Adam Cole can beat a g[censored]mn twenty-four year old kid. That’s cute, but it ain’t worth my attention.

The camera flashes showing the Boom connecting to Kyle Fletcher’s head as the former United Empire member and current member of Aussie Open crumbled from the impact. The camera cuts back to Will Ospreay as he continues speaking.

Will Ospreay: What is worth my attention though is having some Canadian c[censored]t like Chris Jericho come out and claim a f[censored]king handshake - the contact of Adam Cole’s hand is more valuable than the ten pounds of gold around his waist! That is inexcusable! For that alone, I should batter Adam Cole’s brains across this muted wall behind me!

Ospreay pauses only briefly before he continues. As he speaks, the scene is replaced with Chris Jericho facing off against Adam Cole in the Winnipeg Street Fight.

Will Ospreay: I know that people don’t understand that the fight between me and Adam Cole is not just a fight about me wanting that championship. No, the fight between me and Adam Cole in that steel cage is a fight about values and me needing that championship! Hell, even the EBWF needs me to get that championship, bruv! Because in my hands the Gateway Championship will be valued and actually f[censored]ing wanted!

Ospreay moves closer to the camera now as his face takes up even more of the frame.

Will Ospreay: Week after week, Adam Cole has to go outside this company to get people even willing to fight him for the Breakout Championship. Then when he forces that crusade, he finally gets one person to bite from in the company, and that j[censored]ff then decides to belittle both championships! Because both of those f[censored]ing idiots can’t see that the Gateway, the door that opens from that championship, controls this whole g[censored]mn company!

Ospreay pauses once more, clearly boiling from this before pausing and catching his breath.

Will Ospreay: I don’t think people understand why we invaded. I know for certain people don’t understand why I need to fight Adam Cole. I guarantee that people will realize by the end of the night that I am on a whole other level than Adam Cole. Adam is synonymous with Undisputed, and even now he is the Undisputed Double Champ, Adam Cole - Bay Bay. I guarantee that by the end of the match tonight, as I pin Adam Cole to the mat, his head caved in by my hidden blade - everyone will realize that only I can hold the Gateway Championship! That it will very soon be two belts Undisputed Billy GOAT! Because in Adam Cole’s hands, these championships have all meant nothing. In my hands, the Gateway Championship, the World Championship, the Breakout Championship, the Tag Championships - the entire EBWF will mean everything! People don’t know why we invaded, why Adam Cole and I are fighting, but they will know by the end of the night why Will Ospreay is on a whole other level!

The shot of Ospreay fades as once more the match graphic for the match appears.
