[Backstage, camera zooms in on the door of GM Max McGillicutty's office as it slams shut. Count Vlad steps out, a sinister chuckle escaping his lips. Backstage reporter Larry Morton rushes up to him, microphone in hand.]
Larry
Morton: Count
Vlad! What just happened in there? Can you tell us what that was all about?
[Count
Vlad pauses, a wicked grin spreading across his face as he turns to face the
camera.]
Count
Vlad: [laughs
darkly] Oh, Larry, you are in for a treat. You see, that meeting was about the
future. The future of Warzone. The future of Darkness. The Dark Dominion, my
loyal followers, are taking over the Warzone PPV. And it will be called...
[pauses for dramatic effect]... Darkness Rising.
Larry
Morton:
Darkness Rising? What does this mean for the competitors and the fans?
Count
Vlad: It means
chaos, Larry. It means despair. It means that the Warzone will become a
playground for the Dark Dominion. The light will be extinguished, and only the
darkness will remain. So, to all the competitors out there—prepare yourselves.
Darkness is coming, and there is no escape.
[Count
Vlad chuckles ominously as he walks away, leaving Larry Morton looking both
intrigued and worried.]

Match #1: Jack Lumber & Azrael w/ Count Vlad vs the
Smashers
The
Smashers make their way out first to massive booing from the crowd. The crowd continues the intensity as Jack
‘Timber Fang’ Lumber and Azrael make their way out with Count Vlad. As they are heading to the ring, one lone fan
can be heard trying to cheer for Jack.
Jack immediately hears the fan’s plea and walks over to him. He sees him holding a sign that reads “I
still believe in you Jack” and Jack SNATCHES the sign and TEARS it to pieces
before throwing it in the fan’s face.
He, Azrael and Vlad laugh and get into the ring.
