Several security cameras quietly monitor the empty sVo arena. Why you may ask, let’s just say that Jimmy Moretti is a suspicious son of a bitch and lord knows what other kinds of security devices, and secret tunnels he had snaking through the casino and arena. He just never knew that they would come back to haunt his organization like several mistakes he had made in the past.

One such security camera catches a shadow looming over the ring in the middle of the arena. Not just a normal shadow, the shadowy outline of the upper torso of a man against the pristine white of the mat rolls its shoulders as it brings its hands in front to crack his knuckles as the cracking sound echoes throughout the arena followed by an echoing laughter almost as if he knows he is alone and not being monitored.

The security center sits unmanned as the two Joe’s being paid minimum wage to watch the cameras stand outside smoking and joking. Moretti was cheap as well as suspicious, another mistake that would come back to haunt the house that Moretti built.

The camera monitoring the arena follows the shadow up and through the arena’s vast seating ending with the frame of a man silhouetted out by the glaring flood light behind him. He stares down at the ring, his identity as well as any emotion on his face hidden by the shadows.

“Soon. A few short days and I will step out of the shadows. Showdown thirty four, it’s been a long time coming. I would have preferred to wait until Shadows of Power to step into the house that Moretti built, but the house that Moretti built is being destroyed by a Moretti.”

The shadow splayed across the ring shakes its head, silent for a moment, thinking.

“Anthony, you claim to have the best interests of the sVo in mind when in reality you are tearing down what your father built. Now I am not claiming that your father was a good man by any means, but he did build a wonderful thing. Now he might not have built it for the right reasons but build it he did. It’s a legacy, not to you, but to all the fans and all the wrestlers in the back that go out there week in and week out and shed their blood sweat and tears for the entertainment of the fans. To you, your father, and Jon Page it’s a tax deduction, a legal business, and a way to launder your dirty money, to me and everyone else it is a home and I will not let you ruin it. This Sunday Anthony I will defend the house that Moretti built, but I will not defend the Moretti’s that is my promise.”

A distinct sound of a Zippo being lit can be heard echoing through the arena as the shadow takes a long drag exhaling the silhouette of the smoke spiraling into the air. The security camera follows the smoke up into the air. As the camera returns to the ring there is no shadow. The floodlight goes out plunging the arena into darkness.
