The inaugural Royal Roulette opens with a shot of Dennis leaned against a wall, holding the VWF World Championship. Madison paced back forth with her arms folded.

Madison: Number thirty, I am GUARUNTEED a win in the first ever Royal Roulette. Final Four? No problem. The smartest thing to do when it comes to gambling is-

Dennis: Betting on Black?

The audience begins to boo.

Madison stopped in place.

Madison: Stack the deck. We need to ensure that everything goes our way tonight.

Dennis: The odds are already in your favor, Madison. Next, we make sure that Larkspur and Scott can get the job done. I’ll handle Daniel. Then after that…

Madison: We have three of our guys in the Roulette. Golden Age will dictate the outcome for sure. By the end of the night, we have the tag team championships, two Roulette victories, The World Championship, and Beaux will bring the Heavyweight Championship home.

Madison: And after that?

Dennis and Madison grinned at each other.

The camera opens up backstage with Mike Diamond to a massive pop from the audience.

Diamond: That’s right everyone, it’s showtime! Tonight is the event to set the tone. Royal Roulette, an event where you can bet on yourself. An event where you can change the trajectory your career is on.

Diamond looks around at all the competitors getting ready for tonight.

Diamond: Just look around here. Some of the biggest names to some of the names that are on the upcoming. Some guys that are hungry for their one chance to alter the course of their future. You see, that is what betting on yourself can do.

You go out there and you give it your very best. You make these fans chant your name. You give them a reason to invest in you. You give them a reason to know you want it more than any other man out there.

Diamond continues to walk and look around at all the competitors in tonight’s event.

Diamond: But just remember that there is one man tonight that will beat everyone. There is one man that the people get behind and want to see.

Diamond chants fill the stadium as he just smiles at the camera.

Diamond: And there it is. Everyone at one point tonight will have to go face to face with me. Tonight all of you can sit back and be amazed when my music hits and I hit the ring. When I eliminate twenty nine other superstars and I write my ticket to fight for the championship I never lost.

But that’s not even the best part. Tonight I get to torture, humiliate, and embarrass a man that has made my life a living hell. Tonight I will get to not only smash the Samoan nightmare they call Haku once, no no no no! I get to beat him twice. Haku tonight we do battle and you will finally know how it feels to be helpless. And after I am done whooping that fat ass all over the ring in our one on one match, I will then get to watch your fat ass go over the top rope and be eliminated from the Royal Roulette at the courtesy of one Mike Diamond.

Diamond storms away as the camera watches closely to the other competitors stretching and getting ready.

Aliyah Brody: “Listen up, you pack of hyenas! Aliyah Brody is here to make a statement, and at Wrestle Elite 9, I’m not just entering the fray; I’m dominating it. Twenty-seven other so-called ‘superstars’ will step into that ring, thinking they have what it takes to outlast me. Well, newsflash, darlings – none of you can hold a candle to the fire that is Aliyah Brody!”

The crowd erupts with a mix of cheers and boos as Aliyah smirks, reveling in the attention.

Aliyah Brody: “Surviving 27 competitors? That’s not a challenge; that’s a warm-up for me. I thrive in chaos, and I’ve clawed my way through the toughest opponents this business has thrown at me. This isn’t just a battle royal; it’s a showcase of my dominance. Each elimination will be a testament to my strength, my resilience, and my unyielding will to stand tall in the face of adversity.”

Aliyah pauses, letting the words sink in as the anticipation builds.

Aliyah Brody: “Once the dust settles and bodies litter the canvas, there will be one woman standing tall – the undeniable force, the indomitable Aliyah Brody! And do you know what that means? It means I’ll be facing the Women’s Champion at Wrestle Elite 9, and mark my words, whoever holds that title won’t be holding it for much longer.”

The crowd roars in response as Aliyah points to the Wrestle Elite 9 sign hanging high above the ring.

Aliyah Brody: “To the Women’s Champion, I hope you’re watching, because your worst nightmare is about to become a reality. Aliyah Brody is on a collision course with destiny, and at Wrestle Elite 9, I will claim what’s rightfully mine – the Women’s Championship. Get ready to witness a coronation, because the era of Aliyah Brody is about to begin, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop it!”

Aliyah drops the microphone, confidently striding out of the ring as her theme music plays, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement for the impending chaos at Wrestle Elite 9.

The Womens ‘FIRST EVER’ Royal Roulette. The same rules as your typical battle royale, but with a twist. The final four competitors will battle it out in a fatal Fourway elimination match, where each contestant is unable to leave the ring on their own. The final woman standing will be guaranteed a Womens Championship opportunity at WrestlElite!

The crowd is going nuts after the ring was broken by Diamond and Haku. Medical staff rush to the ring as the two men can’t even get to their feet. Holy shit chants reign in from the crowd as the camera cuts back to Stephen Matthews.

Matthews mouth is wide open staring at the TV screen for a moment before he runs out of his office to Ricky Spanish.

Matthews: Find a way to buy us time! We needs to get Diamond and Haku in an ambulance and fix the ring for our main event!

Spanish looks confused as Matthews runs to the ringside area. Spanish looks around and sees Ares in the hallway so he approaches him.

Spanish: Ares congratulations again on regaining your championship back. Do you have any words for anyone out there?

Ares: I’m not hard to find. That ring out there is my sanctuary. If you wish to lose, all you need to do is tell me that you want me to put you to sleep and I will gladly grant your wish.

Spanish: Do you have any thoughts on the Royal Roulette that is supposed to be next?

Ares spits at the feet of Ricky Spanish.

Ares: Everyone should be scared. Tonight I will enjoy the beat down on twenty nine other superstars before I decide to eliminate them all and win the entire thing. There isn’t one sole on this roster that even stands a chance.

The camera cuts to Santos Garcia walking by and he smiles at Ares. He wants to the parking garage and Ares pursues him.

Spanish quickly looks around for another superstar to see Sexton Hardcastle applying lotion all over his body. Spanish looks disgusted and cautiously approaches him. Sexton stops and looks as Spanish and Spanish freaks out and runs away as the camera shifts to the parking lot.

In the interview area we have Ricky Spanish standing next to Earl Dixon.

Spanish: Earl, how are you feeling? Your partner Asylum was taken out before your match again at Golden Age earlier tonight. Do you have any updates for us?

Earl: Hey Spainy !! I’m feeling revved up. I’m not sure if it’s about my migo Asylum being cleared and ready to go after that bogus attack tonight. Speaking of that I really think that cost us the match to be honest. It was way closer than anyone would have thought seeming it Golden Age or as I refer to them as is the golden cheats!!! I decided when I had enough just count how many times I kicked out.

Spanish: Well I’m not sure if you just witnessed the carnage that Mike and Haku caused to the ring just moments ago, but what are your thoughts if you did? Since Mike has been mentoring you and Asylum as of late.

Earl: Spainy did I see the madness in the ring? Who the hell didn’t? That’s Mike God Damn Diamond! Who the hell didn’t see it!!!? That guy is must watch TV and wrestling!! Asylum and I look up to that man more than his no good for nothing ginger kid of his. He teaches us new limits every time we spar or talk techniques. I got to say though, he did say he was going to break the ring with his fat ass to us but I didn’t take it literally!

Spanish: Do you have any plans for Golden Age members in the Royal Roulette if you see them?

Earl: I’m glad you asked. The Golden Cheats have made this a personal one too many times. I’m sick and tired of them getting away with these attacks or ambushes during matches with no class, order, respect of the Squared Circle. So if I see them anywhere from here on out I’m standing on business sight on seen you all will pay each and every member.

Spanish: Watch out Earl!

Spanish runs away from Earl.

Scott: So Earl did you think I was done with you?

Scott spits on top of Earl’s body.

Scott: You and that partner of yours has wasted enough of our damn time already. Do us all a favor and for the love of God keep our name out of your mouth. Far too many times we have beat you guys. Far too many times you have got in our way. Just stop because every time all you do is disappoint. I don’t see what my sperm donor sees in you guys anyways. Good luck out there chump.

Scott walks away as medics check on Earl. The camera cuts Stephen Matthews.

Matthews: The good news lady and gentlemen is that the ring is back together and ready to go. The unfortunate news is both Haku and Mike Diamond were taken to the nearest medical facility. They will not be appearing in tonight’s Royal Roulette.

The crowd boos the announcement as the camera fades to black.
