The screen fades in to a view of an empty apartment room. The wallpaper is peeling off the wall in some spots revealing the wooden supports and insulation behind it. The view moves to the bedroom. The light is dim and the air is humid. We see Shields sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the wall. He is wearing his trademark black attire and sunglasses. Shields looks down at the floor and picks away part of the carpet and throws it across the room. He looks into the camera and starts speaking.
I'll start by saying that I am less than pleased with what went down last week at House Show 8 in the triple threat for the Internet title. I thought I had the match won, but it appears that I was mistaken. The three of us went to hell, back, and all the way to hell again. We shed blood, sweat, tears, and more blood in that ring.
Shields gets up and walks towards the tattered wall. He leans against a spot between to pieces of ripped wallpaper. He looks at the floor.
This week I get to face Xavier, the other person in the triple threat that didn't win the belt. I'll admit it, Xavier beat the life out of me on more than one occasion last week, but it won't happen again. It's almost like losing that title has set off the red light inside of me. I feel a new sense, a stronger sense of rage that I've never felt before. I feel as though I can take one the world with my bare hands. Don't worry, as I plan on taking it all out on Xavier.
There's a frustrated knock on the door. Shields walks over and answers it, it is his landlord. He looks like he just walked in from the rain, an smells like a wet dog to prove it. The landlord has an angry look on his face.
Landlord: What's wrong with you Shields? All I ever get are complaints about how people hear loud banging noises coming from your apartment at every hour of the night. On top of that, you haven't paid me my rent in three weeks! I'll give you two choices, you can either pay the rent or you can pack your bags and find some place else to live, because I'm not going to tolerate this any longer!.
Shields begins to get frustrated.
Shields: Well, it looks like I'll have to take option number two. I don't need this place anyway!
Shields begins packing his bags.
Landlord: That's what they all say, but eventually they all come crawling back. What make your story any different?
Shields: Because I'm actually telling the truth. You'll see, after I beat Xavier I will be at the top once again.
Shields takes his packed bags and heads for the front door.
Landlord: Fine, leave! I can find at least a hundred other tenants that are actually worth my time!
Shields reaches the doorway. He shoves the landlord out of the way and continues to walk down the hall. the screen fades out as Shields turns a corner at the end of the hall.
