"I'll be honest, coming off of a defeat in my first match, I wasn't sure how I was going to get in the Super Anniversary Party card. 2 out of the three possible title matches have already been set, and as for the third..."

 He pauses and looks at something off-camera,collecting his thoughts.

"The FPW World Title is currently vacant. And at first, it sounded like just the opportunity I needed to get a match on the card. I'd challenge for the belt, and if all went well, I'd walk out champion. But  everyone else started talking, and I quickly realized that there's a lot of bad blood going around from before I even arrived here in FPW. And one of the first lessons I learned was to not get involved in other people's feuds. So I figured I'd keep myself out of the title picture for a bit, let everone else sort their issues out, and when the dust had settled, I would emerge as a potential challenger for the World Title."

Jace gives a small chuckle.

"But then Azazel spoke up, and he had a proposal for all of FPW. His grand idea was a rumble, a way for anyone who wanted a chance at the FPW World Title to step up and take a shot. And that's an opportunity I can't pass up. The past and present of FPW colliding in one match? That sounds to me like a perfect main event to an anniversary show. And it wouldn't be an empty rumble, I've seen anyone and everyone here in FPW demanding to be added to the title match, even those who are already competing on the show. I'm here to add my name to that list. The entirety of the FPW roster is looking to become the future of this company, and I'm not going to be left in the past.

A tweet appears on Marcus' Twitter account. It's been retweeted by FPW.

@hismajesty - Everyone wants a shot at the king and I get that, but @jacemason? Pardon my french, but who the hell are you? Seriously, your name sounds fake, your case to be in a title match even faker. Do you even go here? Like seriously? You sound like Flip Gordon, desperate to get #AllIn. His dreams were dashed and yours will be too. Jace Mason. Wow @jimhouston, you really are going to let even the bottom feeders of this place have a chance to be YOUR world champion. If that's the case, maybe I'm in the wrong place...

Baker's next promo comes from a room in what appears to be his house, dressed in exercise gear and a zipped-up hoodie. He looks into the camera directly, seemingly thinking on what Marcus has recently said about him.

GB: "Marcus, or, as I should call you, MAJ, you're making the same mistake every man who's come across me in this league has made thus far. You don't see me as a threat, you don't see me as a factor...when the truth is, out of the group, i've got every fucking right to be here. I don't have a posse of buddies to follow me around and beat up my foes for me, I might not have the most technical prowess in the entirety of the United Kingdom, and I might not have the powers of the Night or a brutal knee-strike, but what I do have is a wicked cross armbreaker and a hell of a lot of heart. You claim to be a fighting champion, yet you have to connive and steal your belts to get what you want...well, that doesn't quite fly with me, unfortunately, as I've held titles and I believe what makes a champion...is their ability to fight on their own two feet, and earn things the right way.

When I woke up this morning, I didn't intend to go into the Super Anniversary Party with two title matches on my mind. I was content to fight Jameson and put him down for all, ending his title reign and taking his belt after pinning him twice in the span of an hour. I was happy to win a belt and walk out into the crowd as the man, at least in the hardcore division. I've been waiting for that moment, to finally be accepted by Freedom Pro's locker room as the fans so willingly have, as a top guy here...but if I have to offer my chance at that up to make sure that I keep the title away from a slimy piece of shit like yourself, you know damn well I will. I didn't plan on fighting in two brutal title matches in the space of a single night...but fuck it, if I have to do it, that's what I'll do. 

I'm no stranger to double-duty, you see. A year ago, I competed in GCW's Tournament of Survival and CZW's Tournament of Death, back-to-back. Two days of the most grueling, violent, exhausting struggles of my entire career, match after match, weapon after weapon...but I came out with at least one trophy to add to my collection. You see, MAJ, a man like you might not know anything about humble beginnings like that, about bleeding on the canvas after a hard-fought qualifier, and about struggling to hold yourself up as you walk into the finals a month later, a day's worth of blood spilled across your skin...but I do. Four-ways, three-ways, tables and ladders and chairs and bears and nailguns and knives and the whole fucking show, and at the end of the Tournament of Death I walked out with a trophy in my hands and a smile on my fucking face. Houston might not know it, but I would've done it all over again to hold onto that prize, to show how worth it I truly was, and I'm going to do that in a month's time, and show the world just how fucking good I am.

So, you're such a 'fighting champion', let's do this. I'll open the show against Jameson, and when I win that belt, i'll be taking my sweet old time to rest in the hours leading up to the main event. Then, i'll go in with that title on my shoulder, i'll lay it down in the ring, across from two of the baddest motherfuckers in Freedom Pro and one of the most cowardly men i've ever had the displeasure of sharing a ring with, and i'll put my body on the line for the second time in a night, taking hit after hit, spilling drop after drop of blood...and i'll snap on the brakes, take you to Ground Zero, show you to the Ejection Seat, lock in the Emergency Landing, and that'll be that. Graham Baker will walk out of the main event as the first-ever dual Freedom Pro Wrestling champion, and i'll be sure to hold those belts high as the crowd screams my name once again.

You may have your victory in the interim, MAJ, but i'm coming. MDE might have his challenge first, and Azazel might still be undefeated, but i'm on a fucking roll, and i'm not stopping any time soon. I'm the future of this company, and anyone who thinks otherwise...well, i'll just have to prove you wrong.

I'll see you in July."

Baker cracks a smile, and the camera focuses on the background, where his CZW Wired Championship hangs next to two brutal-looking trophies. The clip stays on for only a few seconds longer, before cutting out and fading to black.

Jace Mason's reply tweet(s) to Marcus's tweet

- I have to hand it to you Marcus, your comparison of me to Flip Gordon was great. Maybe I am a little desperate to find a way onto the card, but who wouldn't be? The biggest prize in FPW is up for grabs, if you don't want a chance, then what are you doing here? But if that comparison was supposed to get under my skin, then you failed miserably, all you did was make me laugh.

-But I figured that since you gave me such a good laugh with your comparison, I'd return the favor and compare you with someone else. At first I thought you were a bit of a wannabe CM Punk, going against "The Authority", bringing together a group of "Invaders" in an attempt to "take over". But I realized that's an unfair comparison, you're nowhere near the level Punk was. So then I thought I'd compareyou to Will Ospreay, you're both high-flyers. But I realized that Ospreay is more than just flips, whereas without flips, you're nothing. So I couldn't compare you to Ospreay either. 

-And I did this for a while, I'd find a wrestler you had something in common with, only to discover that you weren't exactly the same. And at first I thought, "wow, this guy is completely unique, there's no one like him." But with all the candidates I had, that answer didn't seem right to me. And then I found the truth: you're not the unique one, that everyone else. They've got something that makes them special, whereas you're just a generic carbon-copy of every other wrestling dickhead.

*Jerry Bishop sits in the locker room with a bandage on his face and a strawberry milkshake at his side as he sports the thousand-yard stare across the locker room. Dasha Banks approaches to interview.*

DB: Jerry, I know this might not be the best time, but I was wondering if we could get your thoughts on what just happened in the Civil War match.

*Jerry continues to stare out into the distance. He takes a long sip of his milkshake, never breaking his gaze.*

JB: Dasha, I went out there and proved what being a Friendmigo is all about. What being a true Friendmigo is about. Matt, Che, and I, we’re finally back together. And we went out there and gave everything we had. Because that’s what Friendmigos do. We give the full 100%.

*Bishop turns to Dasha.*

JB: We fight with every ounce of courage and strength we can muster to make sure that the Freedom Fighters go home knowing that the Friendmigos put on the best darn show of the night. Even if we had lost, we’re bound by our creed.

*Bishop looks at his hand, which sports the Lucha Ring*

JB: “In darkest match, in brightest ring,
"While in between the ropes we zing,
"We may not paint ourselves like Sting,
"But we believe that fun is king”

*Bishop looks back up*

JB: Matt and Che have every reason to be proud, and I am so incredibly proud of them. They showed the Freedom Fighters what it means to be true Friendmigos. If you’re gonna go down, go down swinging as hard as you can. I am honored to have Matt Dwyer and Super Che in my corner, and I hope that they know that they can call on me to have their backs whenever they need it, just as they’ve had mine all this time.

DB: And how do you feel now that TJ Cole and the Hardcases have-

*Jerry suddenly cuts her off.*

JB: I hate to interrupt, Dasha, but I would like to only say this once. While a part of me is happy to exorcise the negative influences TJ and his cronies had over me for a while, I am still sad to see him forced out of the company. I understand that was the rule for the match, and while I am glad to have put that part of my life behind me, I still wish things could’ve played out differently. Way back in the day, TJ was a Friendmigo. He had some bad influences and left our ranks. I know Matt took his reappearance more harshly than I did, but I took his original departure harder than anyone. TJ was the young lion of the group. We saw his enthusiasm and his style and thought that he could help carry Friendmigoship into the future. But then he got some ideas in his head that said otherwise. And when he returned here in FPW, I still held out hope that he’d see the light. I guess that’s why I fell under his spell so easily. It wasn’t until Matt started fighting for our honor, and Super Che came out of the blue (and white and gold) to bring back my own fighting spirit. TJ Cole was once a Friendmigo, and once he figures out what he needs to work from his system, he might have a place once again in the League. Matt fought harder than I ever could during my “hazy phase”, and I love him for it. And I love Che, and even Missy, for coming back and providing the spark we needed to push the darkness back. But as I’ve said, if TJ ever does truly see and believe what being a true Friendmigo is about, I am willing to welcome him back into the fold.

DB: And what about the Hardcases?

JB: Oh, them? Honestly, I think they were simply taken in by TJ’s rhetoric. I have no ill will towards them personally. I’ll compete against them or with them, as circumstances decree, but I don’t hold them responsible for what happened.

*Bishop picks up his milkshake and grabs a first aid kit from under the bench*

JB: Now, if you would please excuse me, Dasha, I would rather not have any more excessive bloodshed on FPW TV.

DB: Oh, uh, sure, we’ll leave you to it.

*The camera pulls out as Jerry takes a long sip of his milkshake, leans back against his locker, and smiles widely.

A video appears on all the social media accounts of FPW as well as the official FPW.com website. The only people tagged on all the social media accounts are the official FPW pages, Tommy Storm, and Jim Houston.

The background is a black wall with orange T S letters on it. Tommy Storm walks into the frame and takes his hood down, looking straight into the camera.

TS: Ok, so let me get this all straight. I show up in FPW and the entire landscape of the FPW World Championship goes to hell in a hand basket? The most prestigious title in the world right now is held by no one? How in the absolute bluest of blue hells is that possible? And I know what all the fans of FPW are thinking? Why Tommy? Why is it that you show up and chaos follows? Well for all the fans out there worried allow me to calm your nerves right now. I am an agent of chaos and will spoil the whole deal for you all right now… I warn you all right now that this is a spoiler alert! If you don’t want to know what will happen to the FPW Title then please close this video now….I will wait!

Tommy looks at his wrist as if there was a watch on it and mockingly paces back and for the a few times

TS: OK times up….here is the spoiler!!!!! There will be a new FPW World Champion crowned at the July PPV Super Anniversary Party!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!! New champ!!! NEW Champ!!!! NEW Fucking FPW CHAMP!!!!!

Tommy’s face loses his jovial demeanor and looks straight into the camera

TS: If there is going to be a new champion crowned at the pay per view and everyone else in the world seems to be throwing names in a hat then allow me to officially put my name into whatever hat there seems to be for the FPW World Title! I am a former 2 time NCAA champion and 7 time world champion in various federations around the world. So how bout I make it an even 8 by adding the FPW World Title to my championship trophy case! I AM TOMMY STORM! BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!

The camera dissolves and the only thing on the screen is the black screen with orange T S letters on it.
