We cut to the back where Count Vlad is watching a monitor and smiles and nods. He appears to be up to something…but what.
The excitement in the arena reaches a fever pitch as “Bad Luck Brian” is announced as the winner of a contest to meet a wrestler of his choice in the ring. The crowd goes wild as Brian, beaming with joy, steps into the ring. He says he wants to meet Dennis Marshall.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson: “Look at this, folks! Brian finally gets his moment to shine!”
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: “You’ve got to hand it to him. After all he’s been through, this is a well-deserved moment.”
Dennis comes out to a huge pop and upon entering the ring, shakes hands with Brian. The celebration begins, and pyrotechnics are set off to mark the special occasion. However, in true “Bad Luck Brian” fashion, the pyrotechnics malfunction, and instead of a dazzling display, Brian is showered with confetti and foam.
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: “Oh no! Not again!”
Dennis, seeing the mishap, quickly grabs a towel and tries to help clean Brian up. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Brian just shrugs and smiles, showing his usual good-natured spirit.
Dennis Marshall: “I’m so sorry, Brian. Are you okay?”
Brian chuckles, wiping confetti from his face.
Brian: “Yeah, I’m fine. Just another day for Bad Luck Brian!”
The crowd, seeing Brian’s cheerful reaction, bursts into applause and cheers, rallying behind him once again. Dennis pats Brian on the back, and the two share a laugh as they continue the celebration.
Mike 'the Voice' Johnson:: “Brian’s got the best attitude. No matter what happens, he keeps smiling.”
The segment ends with Brian waving to the crowd, covered in confetti but still grinning from ear to ear, as the fans chant his name.
Johnny 'the Hammer' Harris: “That’s why we love him. Brian is the heart and soul of HCW.”
Apollo Gyze is backstage and is all pissed he wasn’t chosen to meet Brian (WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD HE THINK THAT???) As Dennis made his way backstage, Apollo attacks him but Dennis manages to fight him off until security came out to separate the two.

Sterling "the Silicon Tycoon" Silverman emerged victorious with the help of his underhanded tactics and the Million Dollar Alliance's interference, leaving "The Italian Thoroughbred" Dominic Marconi with a hard-fought but ultimately unsuccessful effort. The crowd booed heavily at Silverman and Heartless, voicing their displeasure with the tactics used. As Dominic headed to the back, the crowd gave him a nice pop, appreciating his valiant efforts.

Mike "the Voice" Johnson: "What's Julius Squeezer doing here?"
Julius Squeezer, in the middle of a heated feud with Owen and looking for revenge, charged to the ring. He shouted taunts at Owen, who momentarily turned his attention away from the match. "You think you can get away with your cheap tactics, Owen?" Julius Squeezer bellowed.

Molly: Mr.X, you and everyone else around here have no idea how difficult it is for me to keep Jax from losing it completely and reverting to a savage beast! You coming along and rattling his cage could be VERY detrimental to your well-being... As a licensed medical professional, I would highly advise you to cease your antagonizing behavior towards this SEVERELY traumatized brute of a man or you will suffer DIRE consequences...
