The scene opens with Ryan Wilson sat on his desk in his office, looking down at his phone before he is interrupted with Ronan barging in the office in a jovial mood
Malosi: Ryan! Man, I’m glad to see you! Because I come bearing gifts! Namely, for you.
Wilson: For me?
Malosi: Of course, who else would they be for? Look, I’m just trying to show you my appreciation for your kind act of forgiveness on Showdown. I mean, forgiveness I didn’t really deserve in the first place. I mean, I attacked your mother and that’s a pretty hard thing to get over. So, thank you. I really appreciate it. Which is why you can now open your first gift!
Ronan hands a small box over to Ryan who opens it to reveal an ugly sweater vest similar to Ronan’s which puts a look of disappointment on Ryan Wilson’s face.
Malosi: So, whaddya think? I think it’s a pretty gift, if I do say so myself. Which I do, and I know we agreed on no matching outfits and all, but c'mon. That sweater vest would look great on you!
Wilson: Ronan, I appreciate the gesture, but...I’m not really a sweater vest guy.
Malosi: Not a sweatervest guy- who’s not a sweater vest guy?
Wilson: Look, hard to believe, I know. But I’m sure you can make a return on this, right?
Ronan is handed back the box with the cheap sweatervest in it and his mood is dampened for a second before going back to a happier tone
Malosi: Look, that gift may have failed but I know this one isn’t! Bring it in, guys!
Ronan gestures for someone to come in and a group of stagehands cart in a blue cake that reads “To: Ryan Wilkins”
Wilson: Ryan Wilkins?
Malosi: ...Ya know what, musta been a mistake on the cake company’s part. Don’t worry, I’m gonna chew them up after this! But let’s not let their incompetence deter us from the significance of this beautiful cake! Don’t you remember? This is how it all started!
Wilson: You mean when you booted me into a cake at the start of the season when I was trying to celebrate Showdown’s success?
Malosi: Look, we’re both over that by now, right? We both know that it was Cage’s fault for you getting knocked into that cake, not mine’s. Cage was just a coward who opted his GM take the receipt that was coming when he sneak attacked me. But that’s fine, because Cage is gone now. Due to one man, and that’s you! You took out the legend, and I bet he won’t dare show his face around here again. 1) because of you. 2) because he doesn’t dare wanna face me again after I almost BEAT HIM in our cage match. But I’m going on a tangent, we can now eat this delicious looking cake.
Ronan and Ryan both take slices of the cake and Ryan takes a bit into it but is made disappointed again
Wilson: Ronan, is this chocolate?
Malosi: Yeah, why?
Wilson: Everybody knows I hate chocolate cake.
Ronan is shocked by this and actually made a bit embarrassed by this revelation
Malosi: Oh- YEAH! So do I, I know damn well you the chocolate cake. Which is why I ordered vanilla but once again this company has messed up. They’re never gonna hear the end of this, I knew I should’ve gotten an Applebee’s cake.
Wilson:
Malosi: Ryan, I’m sorry this gift giving hasn’t been the experience I wanted it to be. But if it makes you feel any better, I have a third present for you. But it’s not gonna be here til December 12th. Cause that present is the Unified Tag Team Titles.
Ryan smirks at this
Wilson: Finally, a present I can get behind. You can never go wrong with some championship gold.
Malosi: Exactly! And I can’t wait to knock The Realm off their pedestal at Road to Redemption. And speaking of The Realm, have you at all reconsidered pitting me against Harper Lee this week?
Wilson: Wait. Ronan, did you give me all these presents just so I’d take you out of your Harper Lee match?
Malosi: What? Of course not, you got me all wrong. Like I said, this is me extending another olive branch over to you. That’s all! I just think that this Harper Lee match shouldn’t happen. I mean, it’s predictable. I- I don’t wanna be the guy to embarrass Harper Lee again. She’s doing that all fine and dandy on her own.
Wilson: Look, I’ve already told you. Think of this as like a warm-up match. You find out what she has in her arsenal just a bit before RTR, and we get a bit of an edge. We’ll know what to expect then. Plus, you have a chance to...you know? Soften her up a little bit. Make sure she doesn’t even make it to RTR and we’ll practically have a handicap match.
Malosi: You’re right, you’re totally right. Maybe I’m overreacting.
Wilson: Yeah, you’re just overreacting. Trust me, you’re gonna beat Harper Lee Saturday. And I’m gonna be there to ensure it. Because who knows what vile tricks Sierra Bradford is gonna have up her sleeve? You know she’s gonna try to help Harper because she knows what I know. You can win. Especially with a well constructed plan. Luckily for you and me, we’re some of the biggest minds in EAW today. So, let’s come up with a plan.
Ryan & Ronan huddle together to make out a plan but not before shooing the camera man away.
————————————————————————
The scene fades into Ronan standing in front of a pitch black background. Ronan is once again his usual cocky self.
Malosi: Ya know, I hope everyone caught Showdown last week because it was truly a win for the good guys. More importantly, a step in the right direction. Because me and Ryan Wilson WON our tag team debut BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE ROLL! And ya know, when I first said I’d do a team with Ryan Wilson, people looked at me like I was crazy. But you all saw it out there, we have it, we have that spark, we have that chemistry, we have that connection to be a tag team. Most importantly, tag team champions. WHICH WE WILL BECOME! Because whether it be as opponents or as a tag team, me and Ryan Wilson always bring out nothing but the best in each other. We’re two men with common goals and that’s getting gold around our waist. And if that comes at The Realm’s expense then so be it. But that won’t be the only thing coming at The Realm’s expense. Because I don’t know if you all realize this or not, but lately I’ve been losing. Yeah, I’ve picked up the win here and there. But the bad is outweighing the good at this point because I currently stand at four wins and eleven losses. And to say that I’m upset about that is a severe understatement because people are gonna look at that record and you know what they’re gonna assume? Ronan Malosi is a loser, Ronan Malosi isn’t championship material. Which couldn’t be farther from the truth, Ronan Malosi and loser don’t even go in the same sentence. I know that’s you all know that. And now I’ve gotta figure this out before Road to Redemption and I’ve gotta figure this out quick because if I don’t, who will? Certainly won’t be the fat, muffin top fans watching at home. It’s gonna be me and me only. And going back to expense, I’m gonna get myself back on track at Harper Lee’s expense because she just got herself back on track with a win over Mason Massacre. Which Harper Lee will even admit isn’t anything to brag about. Especially now that, that fat slob probably won’t be seen or heard from again after what Dray Fontana did to him. But back to Harper Lee, it’s no secret that I didn’t want this match with you in the first place. But like many other idiots online, she wants to jump to the conclusion that I’m somehow afraid of her. Sure, Harper, I’m afraid. But not of you, no, I’m actually afraid of what I’m going to do to you on Dynasty. I’m afraid that you won’t even make it to Road to Redemption. Because we’ve seen what happens when I’m in the facilities of women I don’t like. Alissa Brady? F10’d off a stage. Magdalena Wilson? Put through a car window. And just like what happened to Alissa, what happens to you is gonna be your fault. Because you’re provoking me, you’re making me mad. Especially with that little predator comment you wanted to sneak into your little promo. Which wasn’t funny by the way. And I don’t appreciate you trying to insult my intelligence either.
Ronan forms a real annoyed yet angry look on his face
Malosi: Because I know what you’re trying to do, Harper. Yeah, I know what you’re trying to do. You’re trying to drive a wedge between me and Ryan. You’re trying to create a bit of doubt in my head on if he’s to be trusted. I hate to disappoint you Harper but that’s not gonna work on me. Ya see, Chained Fury isn’t gonna turn out to be just this one-hit wonder. Chained Fury is gonna turn out to be the next great duo here in EAW. Something along the lines of Jaded Hearts. But ya know? Better. Because Ryan Wilson isn’t just my friend, he is my new-found brother. And you know what brothers do? Brothers fight, but at the end of the day, they are still brothers. At the end of the day, they will make up and they will apologize and that’s exactly what me and Ryan Wilson have done to each other. We’ve apologized because we have respect for each other. So you can bring up our battles, you can bring up me attacking Ryan Wilson’s mom and think that drives a wedge between us. But the only thing it does is make us stronger because we realize the mountain we’ve had to climb to really become a team, to really become friends, and to really become the best versions of ourselves that we could possibly be. And yeah, I know we don’t have the edge, we don’t have the chemistry that you and Sierra do. But that didn’t stop others from becoming tag team champions, did it? It didn’t stop Drake and Viz and it certainly won’t stop us. But moving on, you also mentioned Road to Redemption of last year and how that was your very first match here in EAW. You’re right, I seem to remember your debut match very vividly because I was in it. The Extreme Enigma battle royal, I remember that because you, Sierra, and Korey Gaines eliminated me and dashed my chances of winning the battle royal. Quite frankly, depriving the Extreme Enigma battle royal of a way better winner than Justin Windgate. But I’m not gonna get into that, it was over a year ago, you gotta let it go at some point, right? And that’s what I’ve done, I’ve let it go. I’m not surprised that it took three elitists to gang up on me. But what I am surprised by is how far you’ve gotten, Harper. Because trust me, in the time that I’ve been here in EAW, I’ve seen A LOT of people come and go. I really have, and I expected you to be one of them. But in a rare instance, I was wrong. Hats off to you, Harper, because you actually EXCEEDED my expectations. After Road to Redemption of last year, you actually raised your stock. You built a fan base, you made a name for yourself, and then you get a tag title match against the Grand Athletes. Where you and Sierra supposedly “beat” them. But I don’t see it that way which is why the term “paper champion” has been tossed around when it comes to speaking about you two. Because when you look at champions like Myles for example. He won that title by beating the previous champion, 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. When you look at Viz, yeah, he played mind games but he pinned Drake 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring. When you look at Dray Fontana, he pinned Xander Payne 1-2-3 in the middle of the ring to win the PURE Championship. But when you look at The Realm, you guys haven’t done that. You won the tag titles by claiming up a ladder and unhooking them. A burglar could do that when they climb up your window and steal your alarm clock. What you did was nothing impressive to win those titles, to me, you still haven’t cemented your reign as the tag team champions. To me, you shouldn’t even have those tag team titles. Because a thief can walk around with another man’s watch, doesn’t make it his watch. But unfortunately, I don’t make the decisions around here. So you are officially recognized as the tag team champions by the people, but not for long though. Because when me and Ryan beat you, we’re not gonna leave a single doubt in people’s minds that we’re the real tag team champions.
Malosi: But Harper, I see your mind isn’t just focused on me and Ryan. You’re over there talking about the Blicky Boyz and The Liquid Swordz. And to think that you’re actually gonna get that far is ridiculous. And to think that me and Ryan have no shot at beating either team if we win the tag team titles is even more ridiculous. I mean, we all know that if I shared the ring with DEDEDE, I’d slap the grey out of the old man’s his beard. If Ryan shared the ring with Impact, he’d severely impact his confidence. Because Impact wouldn’t wanna show his face around here after the beating he gives him. And as for the Blicky Boyz, those two couldn’t take our titles off of us if they tried. Because me and Ryan are the two smartest men in EAW. And while Malcolm Jones and Chris Elite are talented, we’d find a way, we’d figure out a way to beat them, to overcome them. When it comes to you and Sierra, Harper, you’d run straight in the battle, swords drawn, thinking you're gonna win and then you’d get stopped immediately. Because if you wanna know what separates me and Ryan from you two, it’s brains.
Ronan taps on his noggin as mentions this
Malosi: And that’s not to say you’re dumb, you just don’t measure up in that department like we do. And when it comes to the ultimate decider of my victory over you on Showdown, it won’t just be power, it will be brains. Because I’ve been saying this ever since the start of Season 14 but nobody seems to be listening to me so far. I am a different Ronan Malosi. I am a Ronan Malosi, who is not only smarter but has shared the ring with bonafide main eventers here in EAW. Fellow main eventers much like myself of course. And even in defeat, I’ve gotten better, I’ve learned things. Because after a loss, what do I do? I reset, I reassess and I come back better. You want proof of that, go watch my first and second match with Jack Ripley. First match, he beat me fair and square. He landed that shooting star press on me, he beat me 1-2-3. Second match? Ripley had to just barely scrape by to beat me, he had to take the easy way out and roll me up. You know why? Because I got better, because I sent him in a state of panic, he had to resort to roll-up because he knew what I knew. I was this close to beating him, I was a centimeter close to beating him, he was desperate. But I hope you get the point I’m trying to make here, Harper. Even if you somehow manage to beat me here on Showdown, it won’t mean a damn thing. It certainly won’t mean you’ll have what it takes to beat me again at RTR. Because like I said, I’m gonna reassess and I’m gonna reset. And I’ll show up at RTR even better than before. But when we’re on the topic of you defeating me, I know you’ve had to gang up on me in the past, I wonder if that’s the case again. I wonder if that’s the real reason why you need Sierra Bradford there out at ringside, huh? Because this confidence act is a mere facade and you know what I know and it’s that you CAN'T beat me. So you’re gonna have Sierra Bradford do it for you. What’s she gonna do, huh? Slide you some brass knuckles? Slide you a chain to wrap around your fist and hit me with? Yeah, that one’s real original. Because that smile, that big smile you have on your face all the time, that real annoying one. It’s a facade, it’s a LIE! This act of confidence is gonna come crashing down, this act of being a champion is gonna come crashing down. And it will have Ronan and Ryan’s handprints all over it. Because after Showdown, I’m gonna make you just like every single one of your fans. In a basement, playing video games. And you can bet on that.
Ronan begins to walk off before stopping and turning back to the camera
Malosi: Oh yeah, Harper, Sierra, me and Ryan just wanted to let you know that the invitation for The Rated R&R Show is still on the table. And we’d still love to have you as our first guests. All you need to do is say the simple words “yes or no.” It’s so simple. We just wanna know who The Realm really are and we do not wanna be deprived of that. So when you get the opportunity, get back to us on that. But as for this week, I’m not just looking at our match, I’m looking at the little sit down interview we have planned for Dynasty. Because we’ll be interested to hear what you have to say there as well. But me and Ryan may not be able to get through all of it because if we’re gonna have to be in the same room as not just The Realm but Veena Adams as well, we may just vomit.
Ronan walks off with a disgusted look on his face to end the promo
Malosi: Ryan! Man, I’m glad to see you! Because I come bearing gifts! Namely, for you.
Wilson: For me?
Malosi: Of course, who else would they be for? Look, I’m just trying to show you my appreciation for your kind act of forgiveness on Showdown. I mean, forgiveness I didn’t really deserve in the first place. I mean, I attacked your mother and that’s a pretty hard thing to get over. So, thank you. I really appreciate it. Which is why you can now open your first gift!
Ronan hands a small box over to Ryan who opens it to reveal an ugly sweater vest similar to Ronan’s which puts a look of disappointment on Ryan Wilson’s face.
Malosi: So, whaddya think? I think it’s a pretty gift, if I do say so myself. Which I do, and I know we agreed on no matching outfits and all, but c'mon. That sweater vest would look great on you!
Wilson: Ronan, I appreciate the gesture, but...I’m not really a sweater vest guy.
Malosi: Not a sweatervest guy- who’s not a sweater vest guy?
Wilson: Look, hard to believe, I know. But I’m sure you can make a return on this, right?
Ronan is handed back the box with the cheap sweatervest in it and his mood is dampened for a second before going back to a happier tone
Malosi: Look, that gift may have failed but I know this one isn’t! Bring it in, guys!
Ronan gestures for someone to come in and a group of stagehands cart in a blue cake that reads “To: Ryan Wilkins”
Wilson: Ryan Wilkins?
Malosi: ...Ya know what, musta been a mistake on the cake company’s part. Don’t worry, I’m gonna chew them up after this! But let’s not let their incompetence deter us from the significance of this beautiful cake! Don’t you remember? This is how it all started!

I wonder if that’s the real reason why you need Sierra Bradford there out at ringside, huh? Because this confidence act is a mere facade and you know what I know and it’s that you CAN'T beat me. So you’re gonna have Sierra Bradford do it for you. What’s she gonna do, huh? Slide you some brass knuckles? Slide you a chain to wrap around your fist and hit me with? Yeah, that one’s real original. Because that smile, that big smile you have on your face all the time, that real annoying one. It’s a facade, it’s a LIE! This act of confidence is gonna come crashing down, this act of being a champion is gonna come crashing down. And it will have Ronan and Ryan’s handprints all over it. Because after Showdown, I’m gonna make you just like every single one of your fans. In a basement, playing video games. And you can bet on that.
Ronan begins to walk off before stopping and turning back to the camera
Malosi: Oh yeah, Harper, Sierra, me and Ryan just wanted to let you know that the invitation for The Rated R&R Show is still on the table. And we’d still love to have you as our first guests. All you need to do is say the simple words “yes or no.” It’s so simple. We just wanna know who The Realm really are and we do not wanna be deprived of that. So when you get the opportunity, get back to us on that. But as for this week, I’m not just looking at our match, I’m looking at the little sit down interview we have planned for Dynasty. Because we’ll be interested to hear what you have to say there as well. But me and Ryan may not be able to get through all of it because if we’re gonna have to be in the same room as not just The Realm but Veena Adams as well, we may just vomit.
Ronan walks off with a disgusted look on his face to end the promo
