*The camera pans up to show Backstage Correspondent, Whitney Hilton in front of a Glowing Ignition Sign*

[Whitney] Ladies and Gentlemen, Please welcome my guest at this time, Pacific Champion, Beaux Wilde!

*Crowd Cheers*

[Whitney] Beaux, thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me today.

[Beaux] You’re Welcome Whitney!

[Whitney] So Beaux, the past few weeks we’ve seen many talent seemingly gunning for you, such as Tyler Wolf, Kurt Storm, Tre Michaels and many others. As the champion do you feel threatened in any way?

[Beaux] Whitney if I may, being the first champion anywhere automatically paints a huge target on your back, no matter who you are, what side you stand on, there is a long line of people who want to see you fail, But to answer your question, No! I welcome all challengers and I will treat everyone who gets a shot as such.

[Whitney] There’s also been some rumblings beyond the talent that you’ve been having meetings with Dennis Black, who as we all know has seemingly ran tyrant amongst the companies he’s been in, also the leader of the storied faction known as Golden Age, care to comment?

[Beaux] Hmm *thinks* it’s probably best we don’t go into detail but I can confirm that I did have a lengthy yet pleasant meeting with Dennis, yes.

[Whitney] Beaux, you’re scheduled to fight the returning Blade, a man who we can say started it all in a way. How are you feeling for this matchup?

[Beaux] Well, Whitney if I’m being honest, I don’t really know who Blade is, I know he was working in Federations long before I was a thought. I’d have to go into the Vault and see for myself just what Im going up against.

*the glowing red Ignition sign turns a dark purple, no one seems to pay any mind except Beaux*

[Beaux] is that supposed to happen?

[Whitney] So, Beaux what are you so afraid of? Why are titles so important to you, that you have to shut out everyone who’s ever cared about you including your father?

[Beaux] I beg your pardon?

*Whitneys voice begins to deepen*

[Whitney] Are you ignorant to the rising revolution that you’re seeing before your eyes

*Beaux begins looking around confused*

[Beaux] What the hell is going on around here?

*Blades Voice now present*

[Blade, Coming From Whitney] The reaper is coming for all Beaux, from a force most in this federation have never seen before. The reapers name is blade and all should be warned. THE REAPER RETURNS TONIGHT.

*The crowd starts rumbling around in anticipation for a man they have not seen in years. A man that has been in some of the most brutal blood fueds in federation history. With online rumors many are wondering if this is the real blade or if vfw are trying to pull the wool over the fans eyes*

*The purple Ignition sign now turns back red*

[Whitney] Beaux…… Beaux!

[Beaux, Confused] huh?

[Whitney] I was asking what do you think about Showtime defeating Jacob Williams?

[Beaux] I…. I’m sorry but I have to go..

*Beaux gets up and fast walks out of the cameras view as Whitney Hilton looks on, confused*

*As Beaux exits the interview area the camera pans back to Whitney not realizing the camera was still on thinking her job for now was done until her next interview when she turns around to leave bumps into a man standing slightly off from where the previous segment had just ended*

[Whitney]*realizing this man is in ring gear* I’m sorry sir … do you have a segment? I thought I had a few minutes to go through some not..* the man raises his hand*

[Blade] Is the camera still rolling? *the producer and camera man are nodding their heads yes behind the camera as the man they see looks their direction*

[Whitney] *Looking over sees the red light still on unsure of what’s going on* Yes it appears we are still live.

[Blade] *Gets close to the camera as Beaux’s music hits with a very serious and sinister look on his face* I’m….. BACK!!!!!

*Blade walks off to make his way down to the ring*

[Whitney] *still unsure of what just happened* Well, uh we’ll be back with more action after this commercial break. * Is heard asking production crew as camera fades to black * What in the hell was that about?

Beaux Wilde  vs  Blade

JEWELS  v  BRODY

Tre Michaels  vs  Issac Jones

Triple threat 

[Scene opens in a serene, picturesque location, with Baine seated comfortably, surrounded by nature, a calm demeanor radiating from him.]

Baine: (Smiling, reflecting) “You know, sometimes you need to step back, take a breather, and let life outside the ring breathe into you. This hiatus, it’s been a gift, a chance to reconnect with the world beyond the ropes.”

[Camera pans to show glimpses of Baine’s peaceful retreat, capturing the beauty of the surroundings.]

Baine: “The quiet moments, the simplicity of it all, it’s a reminder that there’s more to life than the roar of the crowd and the clash of bodies in the ring. Don’t get me wrong, I live for that adrenaline, that rush. But even the fiercest flames need a moment to flicker and rekindle.”

[He gazes off into the distance, lost in thought, before turning back to the camera, a spark of determination in his eyes.]

Baine: “As for 2024, well, the fire’s still there, burning brighter than ever. I’ve let it simmer, allowed it to build, and now it’s ready to erupt into something spectacular. The ring’s been calling my name, and I’m listening.”

[Cut to clips of Baine’s most memorable moments in the ring, showcasing his intensity, skill, and unwavering resolve.]

Baine: “There’s unfinished business, challenges I’m hungry to face, new opponents I’m eager to test myself against. The hiatus has been a chapter of reflection and growth, and now, it’s time to turn the page and step back into the fray.”

[The camera captures the determination etched on Baine’s face, a silent promise of the battles yet to come.]

Baine: “So, to my fellow competitors, to the VWF Universe, get ready. Because when I return, I’m bringing a storm with me. 2024 won’t know what hit it.”

[The camera pans out, capturing the expanse of the natural surroundings, as Baine stands up, ready to face the future with renewed vigor.]

Baine: (With a steely resolve) “I’ve savored the calm, now it’s time for the storm. Brace yourselves, because the future is not set in stone.”

MAIN EVENT

Skylark  vs Dennis Black

Black calls for a mic after the ending of his match with Skylark. 

Dennis looked into the camera. 

Dennis: Skylark, thanks for coming. But one fluke at Blacklist does NOT mean that I was going to allow another, right after. Get real!

Dennis paced around the ring. 

Dennis: My vision for Blacklist did not go as planned. Once in awhile, even I make mistakes. But I pride myself on knowing when it is time to change my approach, when it is time to evolve.

Dennis looked toward the stage. 

Dennis: Wilde!

The audience boo’s Black in hopes that he isn’t going to extend an invite. 

Dennis: I’ve been where you are. The world at your finger tips, with the ultimate goal out of reach. I asked you two weeks ago, and i’ve to receive an answer.

The audience gets louder. 

Dennis: Stand with me. Stand with the Golden Age, and together…I will reclaim what Mike Diamond robbed of me. As for you, we will ensure that Showtime is the best dressed transitional Champion in VWF history.

The audience boo’s Black at Ignition comes to a close.
