(Caleb Scott looks to rebound after coming up short against Phoenix last week but the self proclaimed Pure Technician Ryan McCann looks to add on to his misery. Will Caleb be able to bounce back or will Ryan show him why he refers to himself as the best?)

The camera opens to show Caleb Scott slowly walking through the Monumental Cemetery of Turin. The sun has long set, and a breeze blows loose grass and sticks across the path Caleb is walking. He has a look of disappointment on his face as he continues to move around the cemetery, his black hair being blown across his face from the crosswind, looking at each structure. He then stops at a mausoleum, the large granite building towers over Caleb as he looks up at it. The flickers from burning torches outside of the mausoleum dance on Caleb’s face, the flames reflecting in his eyes. Caleb puts his head down and begins to walk inside. As he does, the camera zooms out to reveal the 4 hooded figures who have now gathered behind Caleb and watch as he enters.
Once inside, Caleb stands in the doorway and stares at what is before him. The drab interior of the mausoleum is so still and quiet that it feels loud. A small window in the side of the mausoleum lets in a sliver of moonlight. That moonlight leads down to a burning black candle, sitting on a large 5’ stand which is standing behind a small table that has a skull resting on it, the skull brandishing the initials “RM” on its forehead.
“Last week, I failed. I went into my match against Phoenix expecting to come out the victor but instead, something happened. I lost my focus and underestimated my opponents and he humbled me. That mistake will not happen again this week against Ryan McCann.”
Caleb moves into the mausoleum and picks up a rose that is sitting on a platform off to the side. Caleb brings it up to his nose and smells it then grips it tightly until blood starts to run from his hand. As Caleb continues to hold the rose to his face, he slowly walks over towards the candle and skull, every step echoing throughout the mausoleum. When he approaches, Caleb stops and stares into the candle’s flame.
“This just means that my violence is not at an acceptable level. My brutality is not where it needs to be, and this supposed Pure Technician is going to find out just how much more vicious I can be. Turin is a beautiful city with a lot of history but at Mayhem I am going to turn it into a bloodbath and add another page to its history books as the location of Ryan McCann’s ruthless defeat at the hands of Caleb Scott.”
Caleb then tilts the skull up slightly, takes the rose, and slides it into the left eye of the skull. He then drops to one knee, bows his head, and puts his arms out to the side with his fists clenched. Caleb can be heard muttering to himself with Ryan's name being heard as well. Caleb then stands back up, leans in, and blows out the candle. He turns around and faces the camera with the smoke from the candle wick slithers up behind Caleb.
“Last week was just a minor bump in the road. My warpath will not stop, and its next victim is Ryan McCann. You will be the next casualty of my campaign. This is just my 3rd match in IIW, but I will not…I cannot stop, especially after my disappointment last week. There are things much higher at work here and I cannot afford to quit, it will not be tolerated. This match is bigger than me and you, Ryan. You are just another obstacle for me to step over on my way to becoming the top talent in IIW. Ryan McCann, your end is on its way.”
As Caleb continues to talk, the 4 hooded figures begin to crowd behind Caleb. Their hoods hide any evidence of their identities. Smoke begins to fill the room as Caleb stares at the camera. The smoke begins to get so thick that Caleb disappears. After a few seconds, the skull, now in Caleb’s hand, is shoved through the smoke into the view of the camera before the camera cuts to black.

It’s the night of Monday Night Mayhem and a large crowd has gathered outside Dacia Arena. A heavy rain is passing through Turin and the IIW fans are getting restless wanting to get inside the arena and out of the downpour. Standing on the outskirts of the sea of people stands Caleb Scott. He doesn’t move, instead standing still and watching the crowd of people. The rain coming down so hard it’s rolling off his hair in streams of water rather than drops. The noise from the crowd increases as does their volatility. People begin to yell at each other and get into shoving matches. Caleb then turns and begins to walk along the edge of the crowd. He continues to walk until the commotion is faint in the distance. “These fans are bringing the exact energy I wanted to see from them.”Caleb finds a large overhead door, lifts it open and enter the arena. As he walks through the parking garage towards the locker rooms, the IIW staff he passes begin to act very timid and try to avoid Caleb as much as they can. Caleb eventually makes it to his locker room and goes inside. Inside is everything he asked for, a TV with a steel chair set up in front of it. Caleb sits down and turns on the TV to Monday Night Mayhem where he here’s Mike Fisher begin to speak. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Mayhem. We have an action-packed show tonight including multiple Elimination Chamber qualifying matches and Robert Ace defending the Uprising Championship against El Landerson. One match I am looking forward to is seeing newcomer Caleb Scott go against Ryan McCann. Caleb had an impressive debut at Worlds Collide but fell short last week against Anthony Phoenix. He is coming into this one very confident he can pick up a win against McCann tonight.”While watching the broadcast Caleb begins to smirk. He then changes the channel on the TV and various clips and highlights show from Ryan McCann’s matches within the last few months. Clips from his matches with Danny Danger, Alpoe Ravenhum and El Landerson are shown. Caleb watches for a few seconds before shifting his body towards then camera and looking into the lens. “You see Ryan, I know all about you. Your technical wrestling style will be of no use to you tonight. I know your defenses and your tendencies. I know how to defend your offense and get inside your head. Tonight is going to be nothing but misery for you and I can’t wait to see you in the ring in just a short while.”Caleb turns back towards the TV to continue watching and studying before the camera fades to black.
