MATCH PROMO I came, I saw, and I conquered.

[Xander Payne]

"I pinned Darkane in the middle of that ring. I came, I saw, I conquered, and to put more focus on this win, I defeated Darkane at his own game and it would’ve been the same result if it weren’t. SO, if you are still trying to sort out why I put forth everything I say, there is your undeniable and undisputed evidence. Now, you cretins can twist this into some kind of illusion I’ve concocted in my head, but like I said, the proof is in living colour. What happened at Reasonable Doubt is permanent, it happened and the fact that you all were starstruck when my hand was raised is a damn joke when you should’ve known since the very beginning. People have been casting this shadow of oppression over my head and they have paid the price.. I debunked the critics, I disassembled your heros, and I have perpetually validated my unrivalled virtues for years. I step into broad daylight, not as an opinionated man, I enter the ring as the biggest threat in Elite Answers Wrestling and there is nothing, NOTHING, that you can do to take that away from me. When the curtain was raised and I made my debut, I committed to introducing a world of destruction and havoc in this company and I never wronged that promise. I brought a new aggression and intensity, and a new mentality and ambition to these shores and there is no doubt, I have changed the course of history in my time here. Myles is gone and Darkane is most likely in his grave and it was all because they chose to step into my world. "

"As a result, Jenny Cien has kindly awarded me an opportunity to qualify for this year’s Showdown Extreme Elimination Chamber match and I am thankful. But, I don’t really want it. I don’t care if I win the EAW Answers World Championship because quite frankly, it is a waste of time. This chamber gives me a platform to administer as much pain as I want, without any restriction whatsoever and that demonic structure that will surround me, will ensure no one will escape my wrath. So, I will step into the chamber, and it won’t be for financial or popularity gain… My intention the second I get in, I will collect the bodies. I will collect the taxes. I will make people suffer for their sins, and at the end of the match, where there will be puddles of blood, stacks of limbs, and dignities erased, maybe the EAW Answers World Championship will look good around my waist. But, that is if I advance to this match in the first place and to be honest, if we want to discuss my chances of moving it, that would be truly a pointless conversation."

"My opponent, who is not even a tenth of a man I am, is a waste of Human Life. With every opportunity that Lucas Johnson touches, he fails, which makes him a failure, and do you know what I do to failures? Ask Myles and Shane Gates. Now, since Lucas Johnson and his Educational Assistant, Elbert Hitchman are too occupied with irrelevant things, it seems like this match should be like a breeze. But, when you look past his losing tendencies, he’s okay. His mic skills have yet to improve and his pure wrestling is alright, so, I applaud him for that. While he does bare minimum in this business, I’d give him a pass. I mean, I would, because there must be some reason why someone so bad is still lingering in the EAW locker rooms. Right? At Reasonable Doubt, he had the opportunity to walk out as the new EAW Unified Tag Team Champions with Lance Blackfyre, a championship I won on my first try, and he failed. Maybe it was the incompetence of his tag partner, the team’s chemistry, or it due to how useless Lucas is. The adorable thing is, he steps out of his short bus and always says he’s going to correct his wrong and fix up everything about his career, and he does absolutely nothing. He even claims that this is his one and only passion. Yet, since when did this “passion” ever lead to a moment in this career that wasn’t meaningless? The only championship he has held was the EAW New Breed Championship and emphasis on “only”. I captured that championship two months into my debut here on EAW. So, explain to me, you have a Lucas Johnson who has been living and breathing this company for years and he is less accomplished than me?"

"If you want a conclusive statement on who and what Lucas Johnson is.. He is a poster poy of the inferior field of competition I have been constantly talking about. The thing he, he once claimed to be a Franchise Demon and now he’s been reduced to an irrelevant sock puppet. He called himself a dominating shark, when all he is a small fish in a big pond. He takes on the moniker “Most Hated Man” when it all means is that people despise him for how shit he absolutely he is. So, Lucas Johnson should’ve been released years and years ago. He is a waste of money, a waste of resources, and a waste of human life. He does not deserve this opportunity. He will never warrant an opportunity at the EAW Answers World Championship because he is a second-rate NOBODY."

"I did not wait fourteen years to go face-to-face with Lucas Johnson. I honed this craft to step into the ring with the best of the best. I know Johnson is going to get into that ring with no inspiration, motivation, or ambition. I know this is going to be a walk in the park and that his match will prove nothing. But, I promise you, when we approach near Road To Redemption, this will mean something. What I will do to Lucas Johnson will be a demonstration of what the rest of my opponents will receive inside that chamber because that demonic structure will make it inescapable, and that will give me the platform to do anything I really want. No limits, no restrictions, no help, no running away, and at Showdown, the chamber isn’t going to be present, but I am going to make sure Lucas Johnson doesn’t step into the ring again."​
