Immediately after Storm.
Dustin Rhodes is backstage, emotionally reeling after his entire Nightmare Family vanished into thin air and his brother, WLCW Champion, Cody Rhodes, was laid out with a Black Mass in front of everyone.
"Malaki Black, you think you're some kind of big deal around here? Huh? You think your interruptions and your hokey dark magic crap is really making a difference?"
A rhetorical question.
"It's not. You're a joke. You're trash. I'm not saying we're an innocent bunch, but we sure as hell mean more to this company on our worst night than you ever will in an entire lifetime. You're backing a wild animal into a corner, so when your ass gets bit, Malakai, don't blame nobody but yourself."
He paces back and forth a few times, stops, and turns back to the camera.
"We'll see how tough you are on Vengeance when you have to finally fight someone and you don't get to blindside them from behind. We'll see how big and bad this number one contender is when you're standing across the ring from a man who's put in 30 years of blood, sweat, and tears into this business. The Rhodes name carries a heavy burden, but it also packs a powerful punch. And in a few short days, Malakai, it's gonna' punch you right between the eyes and then finish you off once and for all at Clash at the Canyon. You won't need flashing lights or black mist, we'll make your ass disappear without all of that."
Fade.
OOC: Been sick as a dog all week, the match outcome is pre-determined. Whatever. Have a nice weekend.
