*Ed Simonds rolls out of the ring and makes his way to the back. Richard Pennyworth stands leaning against the ropes breathing hard and watching him go. After a few moments, he turns… to see Brawler Beckett standing in the center of the ring. His hands are in his pockets and he has a sly smirk on his face.*
BLOOMFIELD: “What? Wait a minute folks, what is Brawler Beckett doing out here? He has a managerial contract with PWA which allows him to accompany his client Akira Wyld to the ring, but he has NO business being down here interfering in Richard Pennyworth’s business.”
*Pennyworth eyes Beckett suspiciously and takes up a fighting stance, bracing himself for an attack. Beckett just chuckles under his breath and puts up both hands in a gesture of innocence. Pennyworth cocks an eyebrow and glances from Beckett to the crowd and back again, considering his options. Then suddenly, from off camera Akira Wyld rushes into frame and hammers Pennyworth from behind with a double axe handle blow to the neck and shoulders. Pennyworth crashes to the mat, slamming his head into the lower turnbuckles as he falls.*
BLOOMFIELD: “What?! No! It was a setup! Akira Wyld has just struck Richard Pennyworth from behind like a COWARD! Folks if you had any doubts that Wyld and Beckett were going to be absolute poison to this organization, you can erase them now!”
*Wyld puts the boots to Pennyworth, stomping him repeatedly into the mat while a smiling Beckett watches on, leaning back into a turnbuckle. After a moment, Wyld drags Pennyworth to his feet… and plants him into the mat with a vicious Surgical Strike. With Pennyworth unconscious, Wyld grabs a microphone from a ringside attendant.*
WYLD: “You see?! You see what Damion Black has done? Last week my associate Bartholomew Beckett and I made a statement when we desecrated PWA’s Light Heavyweight Champion Pantaro. Now this week we delivered an exclamation point by dropping Black’s Yacht Club running buddy Richard Pennyworth! Each and every one of you mercenaries in the back had better watch close and listen up! We are officially putting the PWA locker room on notice! If you stand with Damion Black, you fall at OUR hands! If any of you have anything to say about that… please by all means make yourself heard. PLEASE, give us an excuse to make another example of you.”
*Wyld throws the mic down hard on Pennyworth’s back as he rolls out of the ring and marches toward the backstage area. Beckett lingers a moment longer and smiles demeaningly down at Pennyworth. He then gingerly steps over him and rolls out of the ring, waving to the crowd as he walks toward the back.*
BLOOMFIELD: “My God… that was just a disgusting display. Folks… we’ll have more action for you after this break.”
