The Next Step

-The scene opens up to Bell Centre located in Montreal, Quebec where Monday Night Warfare is set to take place in a few days. In the back we see newly returned Seth Rollins standing with Michael Cole.-
Michael Cole: Hello everyone, I'm Michael Cole, and I'm standing here with newly returned EBWF Star...
Seth Rollins: SUPERSTAR...
Cole: I'm standing here with newly returned EBWF Superstar Seth Rollins who just came off his return match last week on Welfare where he defeated Rob Van Dam How did it feel to make your long awaited return to an EBWF ring?
Rollins: It felt great to finally be back in an EBWF ring. I can honestly say it had been way too long and I was really starting to miss it. This...this is what I live for right here. Going from arena to arena and putting on a show for the crowd. Going from arena to arena and performing against the best in the world and coming out on top. I didn't know what to expect when I came back. I honestly wasn't sure if this place was the great place that I left. But after two weeks back, and after one match...I can already tell that this place is the greatest federation in the world. There isn't a place anywhere that's better than here and there isn't a place anywhere that has the level of competition that the EBWF has to offer.
Cole: Is that why you decided to make a comeback to the EBWF?
Rollins: That's one of the many reasons I wanted to make a comeback. I missed all of it. I missed the competition. I missed the traveling. I missed going out there and putting on a show for the crowd. And most importantly I missed winning. Which is what it's all about for me. I came back to cement myself as one of the greatest EBWF superstars to ever step into the squared circle. I don't care how long it takes but I'm going to go through every single wrestler on the roster. There isn't a person on the roster that's safe. I'm going to beat every single one of them and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it. What I did to RVD this past Monday was just the beginning.
Cole: I think everyone would agree that was an impressive win last week. How did it feel to beat a legend like Rob Van Dam?
Rollins: It was easy. I told everyone last week that I wasn't going to respect a guy based off what he has done elsewhere. It he hasn't done it in a EBWF ring then I could care less And as far as I'm concerned RVD is a nobody here. He's an old man who for some reason thought he could come back and compete with the best. I'm not saying that he might not have a small, decent career here. He honestly could go on to do just fine. But from what I saw, he doesn't belong in the ring with the best of the best. Time will tell whether he will succeed here, but if you think about it, he had the worst possible intro match opponent he could have had. He could have gone out against the World Champion and he would have had a better chance to win. The truth is I was really disappointed. I was expecting to steal the show. I was expecting everyone to be talking about the match. Instead I got a lackluster effort out of RVD. Hell...I think Paige would have beat him in that match...
Cole: Speaking of Paige. Do you think she will be wrestling in the EBWF anytime in the near future?
Rollins: Honestly? I have no idea. I've learned a long time ago that you NEVER know what a woman is going to do. Especially Paige. If I had to guess? I would say she will definitely be wrestling in an EBWF ring at some point or another. She won't even tell me when this might happen so I can't answer that for you. I do know that she's watching these women competitors very closely. And once she does decide to make her wrestling comeback, I damn sure wouldn't want to be any of these divas. But if you want a legitimate answer on the topic you're going to have to ask her, because your guess is as good as mine at this point.
Cole: Well it looks like you chose a great time to make your comeback with the biggest show of the year right around the corner...
Rollins: Damn right I chose a great time to make my comeback. I'm a very calculated guy Cole. I take everything into account before I make any decision. I've been sitting back and watching these EBWF shows for months now, just waiting for the right moment to make my debut. When I saw that Wrestlemania was right around the corner, I knew it was time for me to make my comeback. It's what the fans deserved.
Cole: Do you have any idea who you might face at Wrestlemania?
Rollins: I know EXACTLY who I'm going to face at Wrestlemania...
Cole: And who might that be?
Rollins: At Wrestlemania you, and everyone around the world, is going to see Seth Rollins go up against none other than Jeff Hardy for the Breakout Title...
Cole: I guess that means you're pretty confident about your upcoming match this Monday against Bobby Roode for the number one contendership to the Breakout Title?
Rollins: One thing everyone is going to find out very soon is just how confident I am in my abilities. People are also going to find out that I'm not making this shit up either. I know there's a lot of people in this profession who can talk the talk but then can't do shit when it's time to walk the walk. That's not me. If I say something, you don't well better believe I'm going to do it. Bobby Roode is just another guy who is trying to make some noise here in the EBWF but is happening to run into the wrong person at the wrong time. I was impressed with the performance Bobby put up last week. There's no doubting he had the second best debut of last week. He obviously earned himself this opportunity to go up against yours truly for a chance at a shot at the EBWF Breakout Championship. The thing is no matter how impressive his win was last week it really doesn't do a thing for him this week. This week he's going up against the BEST the EBWF has to offer. And sure that might be a little premature of a statement but I just want everyone to remember this statement a few months from now when I've beaten everyone that steps in my way and have successfully climbed to the top of the EBWF.
Cole: I assume that means that the Breakout Title is only the beginning for you?
Rollins: You're god damn right it is. The Breakout Title is the current goal, but it is not the only goal or even the main goal. I have big ambitions and even bigger plans here in EBWF. It all STARTS with the Breakout Title. And I really do hope that Roode wants this title as much as I do because I'm looking for a fight. Considering how easy my matchup was last week, I'm really hoping that Roode is able to bring his shit this week so we can give these Canadians one hell of a show. After all this is one of star studded card and there's nothing I would like more than to steal the show. And I honestly believe that Roode is going to be able to come with it enough for us to put on one hell of a match. Sure, he has no real chance of beating me, but that doesn't mean he's not capable of putting up a great fight and giving these fans their moneys worth. At the end of the day though, the Breakout Title is just the beginning. I hope everyone is watching this Monday because I'm going to make a statement when I beat Roode in his own home country...
-Seth looks into the camera and smiles before walking off without saying another word to Cole.-
Cole: Well you guys heard it here. Seth Rollins is back and seems to be ready to make some serious noise this time around in the EBWF. I'm Michael Cole signing off from Bell Centre. We will see you guys at Warfare on Monday Night!
-The scene fades to static before opening back up to backstage of the Bell Centre where Monday Night Warfare is set to take place in a few hours. We pan to the back where we see Seth Rollins standing in front of a camera crew right in front of a Monday Night Warfare sign.-
Seth Rollins: We are now only hours away from Monday Night Warfare. Can you feel it? Because I can...in fact I can taste it. I've never been more ready for an event than I am for this Monday Night Warfare. Sure, I've had plenty of bigger matches before. I've fought plenty better than that scrub Bobby Roode before. But there's something about this match that has me quite pumped up. Maybe it's because it's my ticket to a big time match at Wrestlemania. Maybe it's because I'm addicted to championships and this is obviously the first step to getting one of those championships. I really can't explain it. I just know that tonight I'm going to come out here and show these Canadians what real wrestling is. I also know I'm going to give Roode the beating of his life, right in front of his home fans. I know he's not from Quebec but I do know he's Canadian. I might even feel bad. Especially seeing how if Roode does have any fans, pretty doubtful, they would have to be Canadians. Beating Roode in front of his countrymen and taking away his shot at the Breakout Title might be messed up but that's what has to happen.
Sorry Bobby. That's just how it has to be. And don't worry, I plan on using as small of words as possible so that you can actually follow along with this promo. Because you're obviously not very smart. I honestly didn't think you could be anywhere near as dumb as you look. Because...I mean you look like a fucking moron man. I really didn't think it was possible that you were actually THAT dumb...until I watched your promo last week. My god was that shit brutal. Do you even listen to yourself before you speak bro? You really have the balls to come out here and lie to all these fans? It took some balls to come out and honestly compare yourself to Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky, and Michael Jordan with a straight face. C'mon man! You really want to go there? I mean there's so much wrong with that statement that I don't even know where to start. How about we start with age? Babe Ruth was 19 years old when he made is MLB debut. Wayne Gretzky was 18 when he made his NHL debut. And lastly Micheal Jordan was 21 years old when he made his NBA debut. Now let's compare with Bobby Roode who made his debut last week at the ripe old age of 40.
-Seth starts shaking his head for a moment before looking back into the camera.-
Seth Rollins: For real Bobby? You're going to compare your weak ass EBWF debut at the age of 40 to four of the best at their sports debuts as young men? Those guys ended up going on to have long careers of about 20 years. You realize how old you'll be in 20 years? You're more likely to become a great grandpa than you are of EVER catching any of those guys accomplishments. The fact that you, at the age of 40, would compare yourself to 3 of the best athletes we've ever seen is just pathetic. I almost threw up when I originally heard your promo and saw you disrespect those men by comparing a piece of shit like yourself to them. You're nothing like them Bobby, and you never will be. In fact, I can't think of a single thing that you have in common with any of those men besides being a complete and utter asshole. If you put your name next to those 4 and asked people which one doesn't fit, they're going to say you every single time.
And don't even get me started on your amazing debut which was decent at best. You beat someone, who according to you, is a nobody without you. You put him on. So not really that impressive of a win, is it? What's going to happen when you step in the ring with someone thats smarter, faster, stronger, and just all around better than you are? I guess we are going to find that one out really soon and I really don't think you're going to like the results.
The thing is there just isn't enough room for both of us to be great. Only one of us is going to walk out of this match victorious and only one of us is going to get what we want out of this match. There has to be a loser, and unfortunately for you that's going to have to be you. There just isn't anything you do better than me aside from lying through your teeth. I'm here to show the world that I'm the best wrestler there is. No matter who I go up against or what the odds are I am always going to come out on top. And tonight won't be any different. Last week I showed everyone that I was back. This week I'm going to show everyone that I'm legit and that I'm coming for EVERYONE. You're next, but you're just the beginning. Because after I beat you tonight, which I will, I will go on to face Jeff Hardy and begin the Seth Rollins era of the EBWF the right way. To Bobby I just want to say I hope you bring your shit this week. After all I don't want an easy win like I had last week. To everyone else I just want to say watch your back, because you never know when I'll be there waiting to Curb Stomp your asses...
-Seth gives the camera an evil smile before walking away as the scene fades to black.-
