[[ Scene opens up in the backstage area of the arena. Various staff members and stage screw are busy with their day to day assignments. Suddenly a loud sound is heard from down a hallway, followed by a trash can being thrown out from the hallway. All the workers stop, and look towards the hallway. From out of the hallway walks AJ Cash. ]]
AJ Cash: Where in the hell are Dannon and the fat guy Vino?!
[[ No one says a thing as obviously no one wants to mess with him. ]]
AJ: Am I talking to myself here? Dannon…Vino…Where are they?!
[[ Once again, no one speaks up. AJ is furious as he looks around then quickly grabs a stage crew worker and shoves him against the wall. ]]
AJ: You work here! Are you telling me you don’t know where your boss is?!
Worker: …uh….sorry….i’ve never even spoke to vino…
[[ AJ tosses guy to the side and walks off. He walks around a corner and bumps into backstage interviewer, Hayley Davis. ]]
Hayley: Hi Mr. Cash.
AJ: Do you know where Vino and his sock puppet, Dannon?
Hayley: They are actually not here. I went looking for them..
AJ: They are not here?! They want to attack me after a match, and then not show their face around here anymore? That’s called being scared. When will they be back?
Hayley: I’m sure they’ll be back by Monday for Mayhem.
AJ: I’ll be waiting right at the door Monday for those two to even think about coming in.
Hayley: Well, don’t forget about your match with Joseph Harrington.
AJ: Joseph who?!
Hayley: Harrington, he’s your opponent Monday.
AJ: Who in the blue hell is this guy?
Hayley: Well, he’s your opponent and it’s a qualifying match for the Intercontinental Championship.
AJ: Intercontinental Championship? Do I look like a mid-card champ? I’m a multiple time World Champion.
Hayley: So are you saying you don’t want a shot at the Intercontinental Championship?
AJ: Sure, if they want to give me the belt, no problem. I’ll just throw it in the case with all the other titles I have.
Hayley: But you’ll have to defend the title sometime.
AJ: Defend it? You think anyone would actually want to try to challenge me?
Hayley: I’m sure Joseph Harrington will this Monday.
AJ: This Joseph Harrington guy can go back to wherever he came from, he sounds like some British tea drinking idiot. If he really wants to step in the ring with me, then be it. I don’t care who he is or anything else about him a matter of fact. When I get to Mayhem on Monday, I’ll be on a mission. Vino and his little shadow better stay out of sight. After I take care of business with them, and if I have some time left then I’ll take care of Harrington as well. If the Intercontinental Championship gets thrown my way as I take care of business then I’ll just become a double champion as the World Title will be mine, and very soon.
[[ AJ walks off before Hayley Davis can ask another question, as the scene fades away. ]]
