Backstage, we see Daniel Smart sitting on a bench, staring at his feet. Sarah Conner is standing next to him, a microphone in her hand and a smile on her face.
Sarah Conner – I'm backstage with Daniel Smart, who is set to face Slater Grimm tonight. Daniel, your losing streak has been a talking point for the past few months. In fact, you haven't won a single match in the RWD outside the very first Sunday Night Combat. Do you think you will finally be get a win here tonight?
Sarah lowers the mic to Daniel's mouth. Daniel says nothing. Sarah, unsure, is about to pull the mic away until Daniel breaks his silence.
Daniel Smart – I don't care about Slater Grimm. I want Michael.
A voice is heard from off-screen.
Michael Smart – Well here I am!
Michael Smart walks into shot, a devious grin on his face. Daniel immediately springs to his feet, but Michael stays behind Sarah Conner.
Michael Smart – Whoa, calm down, you don't want any bystanders to get hurt, now do you?
Sarah looks worried, Michael almost using her as a shield from Daniel. Daniel glares at his cousin, but says nothing.
Michael Smart – I'm not here for a fight. Hell, as I recall, I fought you last week, and I was the one getting my hand raised.
Sarah Conner – Well, it was a tag team match, and...
Michael stares Sarah down, silencing her. Her silence brings the grin back to Michael's face.
Michael Smart – But I'm not here to rub my victory in your face, cousin. I'm here to announce that I'm going to be in tonight's battle royale. Yes, the one where the winner goes on to headline Road to Conquest. And after I throw out nine other man, I'm going to Road to Conquest, I'm going to beat Maxwell Schneider and Frankie Cocheese and I'm going to become the first-ever RWD World Champion!
Daniel keeps staring at his cousin, disdain in his eyes.
Michael Smart – It's a shame that you lost last week, Daniel, you might have been in tonight's main event instead of me. Oh well, it's not like you can beat anyone worth a damn anyway. You know, the main event of Road to Conquest will be one hell of a nostalgia trip for the two of us. I will once again become a world champion, and you will once again look on from the shadows, nothing more than the champ's loser relative.
With a chuckle, Michael walks off-screen. Daniel is fuming. After Michael is gone, Sarah breathes a sigh of relief.
Sarah Conner – Daniel, any thoughts on what we just heard fr....
Daniel Smart – AAAGHHH!
Daniel kicks the bench, leaving a crack on it. Daniel storms out, leaving a startled Sarah Conner behind.
