Aspirations

[Seth Rollins]

-The scene opens up to Seth Rollins locker room a few days before Warfare. We see Michael Cole come up to the locker room with a camera crew and begin to knock. Inside we see Seth Rollins sitting on the couch watching some video on Dalton Castle before their big match on Warfare in a few days. He pauses the TV as he hears the knock.-

Seth Rollins: Alexa...who is at the door?

Alexa: I didn't quite get that.

Seth: I said Alexa, who is at the door?

Alexa: I'm not sure what you're asking for.

Seth: God damnit, Alexa. You're useless!

Alexa: I'm sorry I couldn't be of use.

Seth: Yeah I bet you are...

-Seth shakes his head as he gets up and walks over to the door and opens it up to see Michael Cole standing there with a dumb smile on his face.-

Seth: Oh god, not you again.

Michael Cole: Sorry to bother you Seth but I heard you were in the building and I was wondering if I could get a quick word with you for our EBWF viewers at home.

Seth: You know what, no. You can't.

Cole: What?

Seth: You heard me. I'm way too big of a star for a scrub like you to interview me. Aren't there any beautiful women who can come do this interview?

Cole: Well yeah of course we have some beautiful interviewers on the roster, but I don't think that Paige would like it too much. Do you?

Seth: It's a good thing they don't pay you to think. I don't care if you think she won't like me talking to them or not. You go find me one of them and send them over here and I'll gladly give an interview.

Cole: But...

-Seth doesn't say another word as he just slams the door shut behind him and goes right back to watching film. About half an hour later we hear another knock on the door. Seth looks over to the door and gets up. This time he grabs his Breakout Title and throws it over his shoulder as he walks over and opens the door and surprisingly sees the petite and beautiful Renee Young standing at his door wearing a nice black dress and some heels. She has a microphone in her hand and a camera crew behind her.-

Renee Young: Hey Seth, is there any way I could trouble you for an interview?

Seth: You can interview me anytime Renee.

Renee: Really? Just like that?

Seth: Let's do it...

Renee: What?

Seth: The interview...

Renee: Yes, of course. I'm not used to people being as welcoming to interviews as you are.

Seth: You talking about those insane interviews I say with you and Randy Orton?

Renee: That is definitely a good example, yes.

Seth: Yeah that guy just isn't all there if you know what I mean.

Renee: Yeah I think I do. With that said he is one of the greatest superstars this company has ever had. How did it feel to get a big win against him last week?

Seth: It did feel great to get another win. Honestly though? That's all it was. Another win. I think we all know that Randy Orton isn't who he once was. He might not like hearing that but that's the truth the way I see it. I think he's got a long way to go before he can seriously compete against the best in the EBWF like yours truly.

Renee: Some people would say when you say things like that you come off a little cocky. What would you say to those people?

Seth: I know some might say that I'm cocky but honestly that's just who I am. I'm not going to change. Now now, not ever. This is what you get with Seth Rollins. And some people might call it being cocky but I just call it believing in myself. I know what I'm capable of and even if I'm not capable of something I'm still going to tell you that I am. That's just how I was raised. There isn't a damn thing anyone can tell me that I can't do. Because if you do I will do everything in my power to get that shit done. And cocky or not I get things done. Plain and simple. That's why I've continuously risen up the cards here. That's why I'm main eventing shows even though I've only been here for less than two months.

Renee: So you don't think Randy Orton could beat you even if you faced him again down the line?

Seth: Anything is possible. With that said I gave Orton plenty of respect going into our match and he didn't reciprocate that respect. He seemed about as disinterested in the match as anyone I've faced so far. You couldn't even get him to say a damn thing about me or our match last week. He was too busy talking about the catering and pistachios.

Renee: That's true. He is a pain to talk to sometimes...

Seth: Don't get me wrong, pistachios are great. We all love them. But the fact that he couldn't say a single thing about me was pretty telling to me.

Renee: What do you mean by that?

Seth: He was scared...

Renee: Scared of you?

Seth: That's right. He knew going into that match that he had no chance against me. Why else would he not even make one of his dumb ass jokes about me? He didn't want to make it worse than it was going to be. Which was actually pretty smart on his part. I know...Randy Orton and smart aren't words that are usually used together. The guy definitely knew he had no chance against me and didn't want to make it worse on himself so he didn't even mention my name. He tried to look cool by pretending he didn't even know that I was the one he was facing but I saw right through that shit. Maybe I'm wrong though. Maybe he's just fully checked out and just doesn't give a fuck anymore.

Renee: I honestly don't know if anyone knows what's going on in that head of his.

Seth: He probably doesn't even know...

Renee: Who knows. Let's move on though. You've been on quite a tear over the past month and a half. What would you attribute it to?

Seth: Talent. To put it as simple as I can I'm the most talented wrestler in the world. I'm the best there is and it isn't even close. I know that I've only been here for about two months but in those two months I've been the best week in and week out. I don't take nights off like some of these guys. I don't put up lackluster performances like some of these guys do. I bring my best every single week and that isn't going to end anytime soon. I pride myself on being in the best possible shape. I've worked hard to get to where I am at and I'm just going to keep working that hard and keep proving every single week that I'm the best. I know I still have a lot to do here and a lot to prove. I'm nowhere near where I want to be and I honestly can't wait to see what the coming months and years have to offer me here in the EBWF. Meanwhile I'm going to keep beating every single person who gets put in front of me.

Renee: Speaking of which you've got a huge match this week on Warfare against the current EBWF Gateway Champion Dalton Castle. What are your thoughts on him and on your upcoming match?

Seth: Where do I even start with this freak show? Do I start out talking about how weird this guy really is? Or do I start out showing the respect that he's earned during his time here in the EBWF?

Renee: So you're saying you respect Castle?

Seth: Don't get too far ahead of yourself Renee. I never said that. I do, however, respect what he's accomplished. There's no doubt that he is one of the top wrestlers in the EBWF right now. He's the Gateway Champion and that in itself deserves some respect. He was, until very recently, a dual champion as well. Another impressive feat accomplished by a guy who looks like he belongs in a circus or as a fucking Carni. I mean when you look at Dalton Castle the last thing that comes to your mind is fear. He doesn't instill fear in anyone. If you saw him on the streets there's no way you would point to him and say he was a professional wrestler. Which isn't always a bad thing. You can, in a way, say the same thing about me. But with Castle it's different. He looks like a Evil Kenevil wannabe. But looks can often be deceiving.

Renee: Do you think you will be able to beat him at Warfare this week to continue your winning streak? [/color]

Seth: There is no doubt in my mind that I am going to beat him and show the world that the Breakout Champion is better than the Gateway Champion. I do, however, hope that he is able to put on a good show. I want to put on a nice show for the people of Minneapolis. And even though I don't think Castle is on my level I do think he will bring his shit and give it everything he's got. I do believe that we will put on a show for that crowd that they will never forget. But at the end of the day it will be the Breakout Champion who comes out on top.

Renee: What comes after that?

Seth: The way I see it is this is my time to show the front office and all the fans that the current Gateway Champion doesn't deserve to be the champion.

Renee: Are you saying you want to go for the Gateway Title?

Seth: Of course I do. Winning this Breakout Title was only the beginning for me. If it was up to me I'd say we put up both belts and winner walks out with both. I don't think Castle has the balls for all that though...

Renee: Wow those are some strong words. Thank you for the interview Seth and good luck with your match this week. I'm sure everyone can't wait to see the much anticipated matchup between you and Dalton Castle.

Seth: Thanks Renee.

-Seth smiles at her before turning around and heading into his locker room as the scene fades. We open back up to Monday Night a few hours before Warfare is set to take place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We pan to the back where we see Seth Rollins messing with one of the Warfare sign located in the back. As the camera crew arrives Seth finishes what he does and turns to the camera with a huge smile on his face. Behind him he has covered up the Warfare sign with a new sign that says "Monday Night Rollins." He pulls his EBWF Breakout Title off his waist and puts it over his right shoulder as he looks into the camera.-

Seth Rollins: That's much better, don't you think? After all I've all but taken over Warfare for the past two months. We might as well just come to terms with the fact that it is now Monday Night Rollins! That means you too Castle. I think you've got things a little twisted around here. I think you think you're a bigger star than you really are. The success has gone to your head. That's what happens to people who have never had nice things. It goes to your head. You don't know what to do with the power or how to handle it even. You can't like you're the greatest thing this company has ever seen but you're not even close. Don't get me wrong though. What you've accomplished here has been very impressive. The thing is none of that was really done with me here. From what I've seen you're average at best.

Meanwhile I've shown that I'm nowhere near average. I've beaten everyone who has been put in front of me and it hasn't even been close. I've beaten new guys, old guys, former World Champs, Hall of Famers, and I've done it in style. I haven't even come close to losing yet. Hell I got hit with an RKO last week and I kicked out. I'm sure Orton thought it was over right then and there but I have way more heart than that. I wasn't going to lose to a has been like Orton just like I'm not going to lose to a clown like yourself.

Hell..you barely beat Bobby fucking Roode to defend your Gateway Title. So how the hell are you possibly going to be able to beat me if he gave you a hard time? I honestly thought he was going to beat you while I was watching that match. Let's just say it was way closer than it should've been. I ,on the other hand, destroyed that chump. I beat him so bad he hasn't even had the balls to say my name since. I beat him so bad that instead of coming after me and the Breakout Title he came after you because he knew you would be an easier target. He was smart enough to know that he had a much better chance at beating you than he did of beating me.

-He pauses for a moment, before looking back at the Monday Night Rollins sign and then turning his attention back to the camera.-

Seth: I do respect what you've done here though. I especially respect that belt that you have around your waist right now. But there's no way you can make any sort of argument that you're better than me. I've proven every single week why I'm the best wrestler in the world. Including at Wrestlemania. The biggest show of them all. I went into Wrestlemania relatively unknown and walked out as this companies future. You, on the other hand, didn't have that great of a Mania. Did you? Meanwhile I was destroying one of this companies all time greats to become the new EBWF Breakout Champion you were losing. What's that like? It's been so long since I've had a loss that I truly don't remember what it's like. Maybe that's something you can joke about in your promo?

All jokes aside though you've got something that I want...no...something that I NEED. Don't get me wrong I love being the EBWF Breakout Champion...

-He pulls the Breakout Title off his waist and holds it up in front of the camera for a few seconds before putting it over his shoulder.-

Seth: But at the end of the day I'm looking to become the best wrestler this company has ever seen. To do that I can't stay the Breakout Champion forever. To do that I have to move on to bigger and better things eventually. If it was up to me I'd say we put both titles up and we really see who the better man is. I don't think you've got the balls for that though, do you? I know you can talk the talk, but can you also walk the walk? If you could then you'd man up and we'd put the belts on the line and make this one of the greatest matches int his companies history. Could you imagine? It would almost be too big of a match.

I'm getting ahead of myself though because you obviously aren't man enough for that. Either way I am looking forward to this match more than any I've had thus far and that includes the Breakout Title match at Wrestlemania. After tonight everyone is going to know that Seth Rollins is better than the Gateway Champion. That's something you're going to have to live with after tonight, and you don't sure better believe I won't let you forget it. I'll see you tonight Castle. I hope you take me serious because if you don't you're going to be in a hell of a lot more pain than that ladder match at Wrestlemania. That's a promise...

-He holds up the Breakout Title once again before putting it back over his shoulder. The then taps the Monday Night Rollins sign a few times before walking away as the scene fades to black.
