Body Bags

The Trilogy had defeated the Tag Team Champions on Warfare and had sent a clear message to the EBWF locker room. However, while The Miz was set to face off against Syxx in a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship, Ted DiBiase was denied his rematch against CM Punk and instead he would face Mr Kennedy and The Undertaker with AJ Styles being his tag team partner. Ted was not impressed at all, having gone from matches against world class opponents and being in high profile matches to this. Styles was just pissed. Ted sat with AJ in their locker room, sitting back relaxing before their match when they both heard a knock on the door. Ted decided to be the one to stand up and see who it was. He opened the door a small bit before slamming it shut.

AJ Styles: Who is it?

Ted let out a sigh.

Ted Jr: Michael Cole... Let him in?

AJ Styles: Go for it.

Ted reluctantly opened the door and Michael Cole busted through the door with a camera man behind him.

Michael Cole: I'm so excited that The Trilogy is back! I get to be an assistant Trilogy member again!

In the past, Cole was The Trilogy’s biggest fan and would do almost anything for their approval.

Ted Jr: No. You're not an assistant Trilogy member, you're not even an assistant to The Trilogy. You're just an interviewer who asks us questions. You'll never be one of us. We're successful, you're a nerd. So stop thinking that you are. You just ask the questions and if I want to answer them I will. Now do your damn job.

Michael Cole looked crushed as Ted destroyed any dreams that he may have had. He then moved on and went into his interviewer mode, trying to hide his disappointment.

Michael Cole: Tonight you two will be facing the unusual pairing of Mr. Kennedy and The Undertaker while your Trilogy partner The Miz has the chance to regain his Intercontinental Championship when he faces Syxx. What are your thoughts?

Ted Jr: Look at us, we're two thirds of the greatest faction in EBWF history. Three of the most decorated World Champions in EBWF history. Forget the Family, the Midnight Gang, FedEx and The Shield we're the best and we prove it every time we're in that ring. You saw what happened on Warfare AJ Styles and The Miz defeated Rated RKO, like they said they would. Tonight is going to be a display of what we can do.

AJ, who had been quiet, piped up from behind Ted.

AJ Styles: Tonight won’t only be a display. Tonight will be a fucking sacrifice.

Michael Cole: Don't you think you're taking Kennedy and Undertaker lightly?

Ted Jr: The Undertaker used to be a legendary figure, a wrestler who could strike fear into the heart of his opponents. Not anymore. He fears us now, he knows we can end his career tonight and we have every intention of doing that.

AJ Styles: Undertaker? Mr. Kennedy? And who else? Because it’s going to take a fucking army to stop us.

Michael Cole: Warfare's main event was a wild one. One of the best--

Michael pauses in mid-sentence. He seems uncomfortable. Or maybe he's just a tad stressed because Maria was standing so close she could practically breathe on him. He tried to create a little distance but these rooms didn’t offer much of that. Now I understand not wanting to be near Maria. She’s intimidating, one hundred and something pounds of a violent sexual deviant. She tossed an arm around Michael to keep him from squirming about so much. She's a pretty girl in a form squeezing blue dress with a flower in her hair. She would probably look pretty wholesome if it weren't for the dark rings under her eyes. She circled a finger around the tie Michael's wearing to keep his tongue still.

AJ Styles Shh, shh, shh... Do your job Cole…

Michael Cole: Um, AJ, at our last pay per view you came extremely close to becoming King of the Ring and the number one contender for the World Championship at SummerSlam. Your thoughts?

AJ Styles: I put on a performance of a lifetime didn't I? Managed to pin a few former champions in the process. Hey, congratulations to Randy…

Michael Cole: Your performance must have impressed someone--

AJ Styles: Lucky me.

Michael Cole: -as you and Miz defeated Rated RKO in the main event of Warfare.

With a small grin Styles gave Michael's cheek a pat and everyone stepped aside to give him a tiny bit of space. Styles looked into the camera directing his words at his opponents.

AJ Styles: And what do we get? Not the championship matches we deserve. We get a worthless match with two over the hill has beens. Oh. The Undertaker. I'm so scared. Can you tell? I'm just really, really petrified right now. The man from the dark side. I think I’m going to puke. The Phenom. The... new… badass…

Styles tapped Cole on the chin again and glanced to Maria who only offered a clueless shrug.

Michael Cole: Well, there is some controversy surrounding that.

AJ Styles: Right. Because I’m the bad ass here. You’re looking at the EBWF’s Big Bad Wolf. I’ve relax in the darkside. I’m the real evil incarnate. The Undertaker is just an illusion. He uses spliced together voice clips of his opponents, ala “mystical powers” to perpetrate some intimidating force? That doesn't sound very intimidating to me. Undertaker says he’s a bad ass. Mr. Kennedy says he’s an asshole.

Ted Jr: The Trilogy is intimidating. We’re the real assholes. We’re the real bad asses.

AJ Styles: What are they going to do to us?! Huh? NOTHING. They can't make us fear them and there is nothing they can do that we have not already done ourselves. Look, look, look...look at me…

Grasping Michael by the chin, Styles forced him to look into his eyes.

AJ Styles: Do I look like someone who’s scared? All of that overwhelming power and he can't do anything with it. I’m looking forward to tearing down this myth that has been worshiped for so many years and while he doesn't have his brother around to back him up… he has… Mr. Kennedy.

DiBiase and Styles both share a laugh. Cole tried to join in to be cool. The two stopped laughing and gave him a cold stare.

AJ Styles: Kennedy…. Where the hell is Miz when I need him to say really? Really? That’s all Jericho has to throw at us? Jericho decided to keep Ted away from the PTG Championship by putting Barrett in his place. Then he had the brilliant idea to step into my spot for the World Championship. Jericho wants to start a war and we’re going to give him a fucking war. Tonight we are going to TAKEOVER this fucking show and nobody will be able to do a damn thing about it.

Ted DiBiase: You see, Michael, it's painfully obvious that The Undertaker doesn't have it anymore.

AJ Styles I remember the Undertaker when I was a kid. He didn't need the scary music or magic tricks. What happened, 'Taker? Did your balls drop off? Hm? Do you remember when The Undertaker used to stuff his beaten opponents into body bags? Body bags just like this one?

Maria removed the black body bag from behind the door, modeling it as if she were about to sell it on a shopping network.

Maria: Sleek. Affordable. Slimming.

Gently taking the bag into his grasp, Styles proceed to unzip it, stretch it out a bit, and hold it in front of Michael Cole. He meekly smiled and looked reluctant to move.

AJ Styles: Get in.

Ted Jr: Now.

Cole did as he was told getting into the dark death blanket.

AJ Styles: Maria will keep you company. Maria, show Cole how this sleeping bag works.

Maria: Sleeping bags! Alright! I'm all about them!

After removing her foot wear, Maria wiggled her way inside of the body bag as Styles continued to hold it open for her. After she is finally tucked inside he zipped her up nice and neat from head to toe. You could tell she was already putting the moves on Cole as they fell to the ground and began rolling in a struggle.

AJ Styles: You’re going to thank me later, Cole. Where the hell is Miz?

DiBiase shrugged his shoulders. Styles spoke to his opponents once again.

AJ Styles: This is what we represent. Claustrophobia. People dread facing us for a reasons. We’re unrelenting killing machines. We plan on giving the world a reminder, a brief one. The Trilogy is back and we aren’t going anywhere! You two may not want to be a tag team, you two may not want to be a sacrifice, you two may not want to be humiliated in front of the entire world, but the fact is YOU WILL! You both seem to have a misconception when it comes to us. Management isn’t throwing us at you, they’re throwing you at us. Like lambs to the slaughter. See, we aren’t looking to make a name for ourselves at your expense. I’m AJ Styles. That’s Ted DiBiase Jr. We are THE TRILOGY! Ask about us… Anyone will tell you how they wish they were us.

Styles stepped off camera with Ted DiBiase trailing behind, they left Michael and Maria in a wiggling black bag on the floor.
