Terry Silvers: “I signed twenty networks. You are back, my man, bigger and badder than ever!”
Unknown Person: “You’re a sweetheart, that’s great. But what about Murrey?”
Terry Silvers: “Murrey is taking up 100 percent of my time from now on. Just have patience. I am just getting things rolling. When I am finished with that kid, he will be begging me to be his teacher. And you know what he is gonna learn from me? Pain in every part of his body and fear in every part of his mind. And here’s the kicker. He’s gonna thank me for it. Go give Amona a squeeze for me.”
Unknown Person: “How do you know about Amona?”
Terry Silvers: sinister laughter “I know! Hey, anything else you want?”
Unknown Person: “Yeah. Make his moose knuckle bleed.”

Segment Three
Sit Down Interview
[Mick Foley sits down across from Big E, a somber expression on his face, ready to conduct the interview.]
Mick Foley: “Big E, thank you for joining me today. I know this isn’t easy, but I want to hear your story. Tell me about your upbringing and what drives you in your pursuit of the WWE Championship.”
[Big E takes a deep breath, his eyes reflecting a mix of determination and vulnerability.]
Big E: “Thanks, Mick. Growing up wasn’t easy. I came from humble beginnings, raised by a single mother who worked multiple jobs just to put food on the table. We didn’t have much, but she always made sure we had love and support.”
[Mick nods, listening intently as Big E continues.]
Big E: “Wrestling was my escape, you know? It was the one thing that made me feel alive, that gave me hope for a better future. But even then, I faced challenges. People doubted me because of my size, my background. They said I’d never make it in this business.”
Mick’s gaze softens, understanding the weight of Big E’s words.
Mick Foley: “But you did make it, Big E. You carved out a path for yourself, becoming one of the most dominant forces in WWE today. What drives you to keep pushing forward, despite the odds stacked against you?”
[Big E’s expression hardens, his determination shining through.]
Big E: “I fight for everyone who’s ever been told they’re not good enough. For every kid who grew up dreaming big but faced obstacles at every turn. And I fight for myself, for the little boy who refused to let his circumstances define him.”
[Mick nods in agreement, touched by Big E’s sincerity.]
Mick Foley: “And now, you stand on the cusp of greatness, with the opportunity to capture the WWE Championship. What would it mean to you to achieve that dream?”
[Big E’s eyes gleam with unwavering resolve.]
Big E: “It would mean everything, Mick. Not just for me, but for everyone who’s ever believed in me. It would be a symbol of hope, a testament to the power of perseverance. And I won’t stop fighting until I hold that title high above my head, proving once and for all that dreams do come true.”
[Mick Foley nods, deeply moved by Big E’s words, as the interview comes to a poignant close.]
Main Event
Hook versus ???
Jerry Lawler: “Folks, this main event has had the wrestling world buzzing all week! Who could Camden Cross have selected as his mystery board member to take on Hook?”
Mick Foley: “It’s anyone’s guess, King! But one thing’s for sure, this is going to be one heck of a showdown!”
[As Hook awaits his opponent in the ring, the arena goes dark. A hush falls over the crowd as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of Camden Cross’s mystery board member. Suddenly, the familiar strains of Orange Cassidy’s theme music fill the arena, sending shockwaves through the audience.]
Jerry Lawler: “Wait a minute! Could it be? Is Camden Cross’s mystery board member none other than Orange Cassidy from AEW?”
Mick Foley: “It certainly sounds like his music, King! But let’s wait and see!”
[To the surprise of everyone in attendance, the lights come back on to reveal none other than Danhausen standing at the top of the ramp. Dressed in Orange Cassidy’s signature denim jacket and sunglasses, Danhausen saunters down to the ring, mimicking Cassidy’s laid-back demeanor to perfection.]

[Hook looks on in disbelief as Danhausen enters the ring, playing up the Orange Cassidy shtick to the delight of the crowd. The bell rings, and the match is underway.]
Jerry Lawler: “Well, this is certainly a curveball, Mick! I don’t think anyone saw this coming!”
Mick Foley: “Indeed, King! But let’s not underestimate Danhausen. He may be channeling Orange Cassidy, but he’s still a formidable opponent in his own right!”
[The match unfolds with Danhausen putting on a surprisingly strong showing, using his unorthodox style to keep Hook on his toes. Despite Hook’s best efforts, Danhausen manages to catch him off guard with a surprise roll-up pin, shocking the wrestling world.]
