----------------------------------------------------------------- || EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE FROM WARFARE || The scene opens up from backstage after the Main Event of Warfare, Roman Reigns had just walked back through the gorilla position. He walked with his head down and clearly dejected after failing once again to score a victory over Xavier Woods. Roman Reigns took a seat in the tunnel for a moment in a steel folding chair, a cold towel draped over the back of his neck dripping water. Roman Reigns was breathing heavily after just competing in a hard fought match with Xavier Woods, his hair dripping wet as well as the towel draped across the back of his neck. Roman Reigns short of breath began to speak out aloud as the cameraman zoomed in. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- Ten months ago after I lost to Xavier Woods, my character went on a downward spiral. I ended up getting myself suspended from EBWF... I was lost, confused, broken... I didn't know where I was going. I came here tonight in Ottawa with a chance to redeem myself, but again Xavier Woods managed to pull it off and I was unable to beat this man. So now everybody is probably wondering what's next? Where does Roman Reigns go from here!? I believe that's the million dollar question. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- Well if you think this is over I can assure you it's not. I'm not going to quit, or let my anger get the best of me this time. Ten months ago, I made a big mistake. But that's not going to happen again man, no... It was visibly clear that Roman Reigns was frustrated with himself. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- That's not going to happen again Xavier, no... as much as you would like for me to blow up, as much as you would get your rocks off on your UP UP DOWN DOWN podcast, for me to blow up again it's not going to happen man... because tonight, I seen that look in your eyes man... What was the look that Roman Reigns saw in Xavier Woods!? • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- I seen that look man and I saw the fear in your eyes, because I think it's visibly clear that you're afraid of me. Yeah, you know as well as everybody else knows that I am the ONLY guy in that locker room, capable of dethroning Xavier Woods as the EBWF World Champion. I think Roman Reigns feels like he's the man who will eventually dethrone the World Champion. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- It's only a matter of time Xavier before you are forced to give me what I want, and to give me what you and everyone else knows that I damn well DESERVE! That EBWF World Title belongs to me... and it's only a matter of time Xavier Woods, before you are forced to bow down on your knees and ACKNOWLEDGE ME! Roman Reigns was infuriated at this point with himself but he somehow remained calm, as he had throughout the entirety of this segment because he remains to state he's not going to blow up again. He's going back to the drawing board and he's going to take what rightfully belongs to him. ----------------------------------------------------------------- || MATT RIDDLE IS ABOUT TO GET SMOKED || Roman Reigns appeared Live on Warfare sitting backstage in his locker room, sitting comfortably in a leather chair with his arms rested. His elbows were placed on the armrests, his hands and fingers were interlocked pressed against his chin. Roman Reigns looked calm and focused as he began to speak aloud. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- So let me get this right... Matt Riddle thinks he can hang with the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, the Greatest of All Time... y'know I find that kind of funny Riddle, and why do I find that funny? That's a good question. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- C'mon man y'all know where I'm going with this. Matt Riddle can't even hang with his wife and kids, or wait is it that his wife took his kids away from him. I mean, he's the one that said it himself right? His personal life is in shambles. This dude went on a public podcast and told the entire world, he wasn't going to cry on that show but his personal life was brutal. However, after admitting that his personal life was in shambles for the last year or two. His professional life was pretty amazing, and as a Father myself I don't really like that too much man. I don't think this is something Roman Reigns should speak on but it's his time, so I mean who can really stop him right now? • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- It's not only my job Riddle to get in that ring every single week, and put on a show for the fans and entertain them. It's also my job to go home every night and put my kids to bed, kiss my wife goodnight and be the man that I have to be, because when my children looks up to me Matt... they don't see Roman Reigns the character, they see Daddy and they see their role model... when your kids look up to you, they see a guy who FAILED them... they see a guy who would rather go out every night, smoke some pot and think he's such a cool BRO! Roman Reigns was pissed off and that was visibly clear, as he spoke out for a moment as a Father instead of the character that he portrays on TV every week. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- It's no longer a secret Riddle, your wife came out publicly and exposed you. Matt Riddle had an affair on his wife Lisa Riddle, he admitted to that. This dude posts a photo of himself on social media, telling the world he loved his wife and kids so much. But what did his wife say? And I quote "You would say that now that you packed up and moved to Orlando away from your children" like that alone Riddle, speaks volumes after you man... you're what I would call a dead beat Father, and while you might think your some tough guy... I'm going to show you tonight in that ring, what a tough guy really looks like! Strong words from the Head of the Table. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- I just hope your kids ain't going to be watching Riddle, because I would hate for them to see what I am going to do to their Father... I mean, I would hate for my own children to watch this tonight, I wouldn't want them to see what a real Father does to one who's nothing more than a WORTHLESS piece of trash! You got a problem with anything I have to say Riddle? Let's not hold back BRO and let's not wait any longer, show yourself and I'll smash your ass before you even make it to the ring. Roman Reigns was livid. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- I've given my blood sweat and tears to this business Riddle, I've broke bones and I've sat on the sidelines to defeat cancer twice. I've did that also while still being a MAN and taking care of my FAMILY, that's why they call me the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table... because I am that guy who puts FOOD on my family's table, unlike you Riddle who would rather let his wife and the mother of his children do it all... because he's so STAR STRUCK on making a name for himself in this business, that in reality Matt Riddle doesn't even belong to be apart of... but who I am to speak on that huh? I'd rather let my actions do the talking tonight Riddle, and I am going to do EXACTLY THAT! Roman Reigns leaned forward in his chair as the cameraman zoomed in. • … the head of the table •…• ROMAN REIGNS -- Now that brings me back to the matter at hand... last Monday, I fell short and I dropped the ball once again Xavier... but I refuse to quit, I refuse to walk away and give up... because I know that some time down the road man, our paths are going to cross again and when they do... I promise you, god as my witness... I will not let this opportunity slip through my fingers again, and I will EXPOSE the EBWF World Champion to be the FAKE that he really is. So cherish that moment Xavier because it doesn't last forever, and in due time I am going to return and I am going to TAKE that EBWF World Championship away from you. If it's the last thing I do, I will become the next EBWF World Champion... and everyone will have to ACKNOWLEDGE ME! Fade to black. |
