Nashville, Tennessee
Bridgestone Arena
Immediately following Warfare
.:: Renee Young was seen quickly walking in the back hallway of the Bridgestone Arena. She looked at the camera as she was quickly walking ::.
Renee Young: I am going to do my best to get the reaction from…
.:: Renee was cut off as she bumped in to Bobby Roode who didn’t see Renee because he was walking while looking back towards the arena. After he bumped Renee, he turned around and looked at her with a shocked look on his face ::.
Bobby Roode: Renee… did you just see that? How glorious was that butt whooping I just put down on Randy Orton and Dalton Castle? I… I don’t know what just happened. I don’t know who that man was out there, that version of Bobby Roode, but I liked it, Renee!
RY: Bobby, you may have liked it, but I couldn’t help notice the fans didn’t much appreciate you slamming the Gateway Championship in to Dalton Castle’s head!
BR: Renee, like my granny used to say, sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet. That out there, that was just cracking a couple eggs… Not to mention the heads I cracked in the process. The faithful EBWF fans will eventually understand, and accept, the reasons I did what I just did. If I get the opportunity to finish what I started out there with Orton, I will do just that. I will finish him off with a Glorious DDT. I’m not sure if you’re watching this right now or not, but if you are… and you know who you are… let’s make this happen! I want Orton, and there is no better time then that one event coming up. What’s that called again? Oh yeah… WRESTLEMANIA! … Renee.
.:: Roode started to walk away from Renee Young as the camera faded to black ::.

Toronto, Canada
Air Canada Centre
.:: The scene opened with a knock on a door. The door opened and the camera man entered what appeared to be a suite. The suite was empty of people, but full of music and noise. The camera panned around to show a couple of televisions on the walls and a bar with some bar stools. The camera then panned to the left and showed the Air Canada Centre full of fans. The ice was crisp and gleaming due to the Zamboni just finishing up. The lights went out in the arena and a spotlight shone at the beginning of a blue carpet that was rolled out towards the center of the ice. The PA announcers voice came over the arena ::.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, for tonight’s ceremonial puck drop, please welcome Toronto native and EBWF superstar… BOBBY ROODE!
.:: “Glorious Domination” started playing and the crowd cheered. Bobby Roode walked out on the carpet wearing his blue robe. The spotlight followed Roode as he continued to walk towards center ice, stopping a couple of times putting his arms out to his sides and spinning in circles as to give the crowd a better view of himself. Roode approached center ice where Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg and Maple Leafs alternative captain Morgan Rielly stood waiting for the puck drop. When Roode got to center ice, he posed for a couple of pictures and then dropped the puck on the ice. Rielly scooped it up with his stick and handed it back to Roode while shaking his hand. Roode shook hands for Zetterberg also and then walked off the ice with the crowd cheering and his music still playing ::.
.:: The camera came back and Bobby Roode was seen sitting in the suite from before. He was intently watching the game when… ::.
Bobby Roode: GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!
.:: The horn went off and the red lamp lit up as Kasperi Kapanen scored the opening goal for the Maple Leafs. Roode clapped in excitement before sitting back down ::.
BR: There is nothing better than a jam-packed arena of friends watching a Maple Leafs game!... Well actually, there is one more thing I can think of that would be better. Tomorrow night… New Orleans, Louisiana… the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Nearly 80,000 friends packed wall to wall, watching me beat Randy Orton and AJ Styles to become the number one contender for the Gateway Championship. Now I know what you are thinking, “Bobby, you ACTUALLY think you have a shot to beat the likes of Randy Orton and AJ Styles?”… Let me answer your suspicions… Yes, I absolutely believe I can and will win this match tomorrow night. The beauty of a triple threat match is that I don’t have to defeat both Orton and Styles. I just have to pick one, and use my absolutely glorious technical skills to wear them down, brick by brick… Glorious DDT by Glorious DDT! .:: Roode smiled ::. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe… which one of you two has GOT to go?! I could go after Randy Orton, I mean, he will still be reeling from the Glorious DDT I pegged him with this past Monday night. But, no, what’s the fun in beating down an already dying dog? Maybe I’ll go after former World Champion AJ Styles… At least he will be coming in at full strength, and not lost in a while… Now wait a second, I’m pretty sure he lost this past week to Dalton Castle. You know who didn’t lose this week? Yours truly! .:: Roode paused ::. A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned the greats of the sports world like Michael Jordon, Tom Brady, and Wayne Gretzky! None of those guys got to where they are today by taking the easy way out. Like the little girl from the Old El Paso commercials… “Why not both?!” So, instead of picking one of you off, I’ll just gloriously dominate BOTH of you, and walk out of New Orleans with Gateway Gold on my mind!
.:: The intermission horn sounded as the first period came to an end ::.
BR: Speaking of GOATS like MJ, Brady, and Gretzky made me think of something. Something that has been eating at me for a couple of weeks now. Do you know what those three greats have in common? They all, at least once, tasted the sourness known as failure. They didn’t, however, allow that to bring them down and crush their dreams of being champions. Like them, I tasted the sourness at the hands of Seth Rollins a couple weeks back. While I’m sure Seth was hoping that would send me packing my bags and retreating, it actually did the opposite. I have channeled that feeling, my resilience, so I never lose again. That never losing again streak starts tomorrow night at WrestleMania! After this game, I will get on my private jet, and I will fly straight to New Orleans where I will start unpacking my plan to become the next EBWF Gateway Champion! Winning tomorrow night might not make me the greatest superstar in EBWF history, but it will be one giant step for Bobby Roode! Orton, Styles, you guys better bring your A games... but even then it won't be good enough. You can be as great as you want, but I'm better... I'm GLORIOUS!!
