Darkside's entrance music rips through the arena as the lights go dim. The hulking frame of Nightmare looms slowly out onto the stage to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He walks, with mic in hand, down to the ring. He climbs onto the apron and steps over the top rope. He simply stands in the ring, looking from one side to the other as he takes in the crowd's response to his presence. He then slides his thumb across his throat in a signal for the music to stop and the lights to come back up.....
After last week, this is not at all the response I was expecting. There has been a lot of silence in the aftermath of last week's X-Stream. A lot of tense...anxious silence. Nobody wants to say anything. Good or bad, not a soul back in that locker room has had the brass to come out here and say a peep about Darkside. You see, what we did as a team....as a "family" last week was shut all the skeptics up. Nobody doubts us now. They know we can handle our own business. They know that their unlikely heroes, The Dragons, have failed them. Their World Champion himself...has failed them! I know I am still in shock at how easily Angel bested a man three times her size. Not at Angel's performance. She is a bonafide killing machine. Cinder now realizes that as well, and he has the scars to prove it.
Nightmare lowers his mic and nods as the fans chant for Angel...
However, as I think back to last week, there is one man whose "silence" would have been more welcomed, but he chose to stick his nose into a matter that did not concern him, simply to stir the pot. He took his life in his own hands by stepping into "our" world and taunting the sleeping monster. A monster that is now...very much AWAKE!
SENTORYU! In all your ancient wisdom, you have proven yourself to be a bigger fool than anyone had imagined! You want to sit behind a video screen and poke fun at me? You say that I have to stand in line behind you for a shot at the World title...all because you won a title shot at Risky Business? Well, that's quite an achievement! Congratulations! But, we all know why you feel so confident sitting on that title shot. Don't we? It's because you know you can beat Nate Michaels any day of the week!
But, what eats away at you....what burns you down to the very core of your soul...is that you DON'T know...if you can beat ME! I say we put that to the test, but not just in any match. What I want, is a match against you. No....I want a FIGHT.....a Ladder Match, with your Risk or Reward title shot contract on the line!
What do you say, "Dragon Warrior"? Do you accept? Or, are you too afraid of "losing your place in line"?
The crowd has fallen nearly silent, sitting in awe and disbelief at Nightmare's bold actions....
