The scene opens up just a few miles away from the location of the next OTB event. The sidewalks are filled with people; the streets with cars and birds can be heard chirping all around. We then go inside a hotel; it’s not an expensive hotel, but one that any normal person could afford. As we are going up to the room, we spot several happy people. They look as if they had just won money on one of them television shows. We then go into a room, where we see a familiar face, and a not so familiar one, a male and a female. The male face is obvious that of Xander Cage. The female is the one we don’t know. Of course, if you have been watching XUW lately, you would know that she is Xander’s new girlfriend, or simply put…Amber. They seem to be having a conversation of some sort. They both seem very happy, as Cage has just debuted in a new promotion called Only The Best Wrestling, and he has already gotten a title shot. This past week, when Xander actually did debut, he saved Nikki Law from what could have been a hellacious beat down. The two of them now have a shot to capture the tag titles this coming Monday. Their opponents will be non-other than The Game Changers…the people Xander attacked. How will Amber feel about this? Will she be able to handle Xander’s teaming with another female? A very attractive one at that.
“So you don’t mine me teaming with Nikki? You are absolutely OK with it?” Says Xander, making sure Amber doesn’t get jealous. Why would she though, the relationship between Law and Cage is strictly business.
“Don’t worry about it. You would have done the same thing for me. I know you; you don’t like to hurt people outside of work, and you cheating on me would hurt me emotionally. So I know you won’t cheat on me.” Says Amber, reassuring Xander that she doesn’t mind what he’s doing. She knows that it’s his debut match, and she doesn’t want to screw that up.
“So you don’t mind then? Thanks, you are the greatest girlfriend ever!” Says Xander; as Amber begins to blush as Xander continues to tell her how much he loves hers. Using words such as beautiful, smart and funny. These two make a very cute couple, hopefully Cage won’t let his work get in his way.
“Just promise me you’ll come home with them Tag Titles around your waist. I’ve never seen you with a title belt around your waist…it might be kind of sexy!” Says Amber, trying to give Xander an ego boost. It’s not obvious that Amber wants him to win.
“I can’t promise anything. But these guys are huge! The shortest one is six foot eight. I’m only six foot two. Not to mention the huge weight difference. I think I’ll be fine though. I have the five time WWA Women’s Champion in my corner. She proves that women can compete with the men. Trust me on that one, she is tough.”’ Xander tells Amber this with a smile on his face. It’s going to be great to be in the same ring as Nikki Law. He hasn’t even been in the same company as her sine his WWA days.
“They are pretty big, but you’re right. Nikki Law is tough, and with her on your side, you should be able to beat these guys. You both have the speed advantage, and you both have the charisma. Those two screw jobs work mainly out of power. You two use your brains and speed, and you’ll be able to beat them.” Coaches Amber; trying to hint Xander into a game plan, not often do people listen to her. People don’t usually take her seriously; hopefully Xander will listen to her. It would be a start, wouldn’t it?
“Actually, that’s not a bad idea. Speed over strength; it could work. I’ve never actually tried it before, but I bet I’m going to have to this time around. I know damn well that I’m not going to be able over power these goons. There has to be some way I could take advantage of their power, and use it against them.” Says Xander, wondering if there truly is a way. He knows that his normal strategy isn’t going to work here. He isn’t going to be able to attack them head on, or he will certainly lose. Cage knows that if he were to lose this match, he would not only disappoint himself, the fans and Nikki, but Amber as well. She really wants to see the best in him. Ever since they have been together, all of the matches she has witnessed have been second rate. Maybe now that something is at stake, he will be back to normal.
“Well, you don’t actually have to win this. Just promise me you won’t get hurt. I know your career statistics, and you’ve been injured quite a bit. Not to mention that each time the injury occurred during a title match. Be careful here, ok?” Says Amber; now starting to worry that he is going to get hurt in his debut match; she has always been one to worry.
“Here we go again. We’ve been through this a million times, Amber. Don’t worry about me. I’m trained to do this; the chances of me getting hurt again are very slim. Besides, I’m in better shape now that I was back then. SWC and WWA where the beginning of my career, everybody is accident prone then. I’ll tell you what, if I get injured, to the point where I can’t stand up anymore; I will retire. Deal?” Says Xander; while trying to strike a deal and assure his loving girlfriend that he won’t get injured. Hopefully she will agree, and allow him to compete.
“OK. I’ll take you up on that deal. But you have to promise to stick to it! I know how you are mister!” Says Amber; attempting to get conformation from her boyfriend to close the deal.
“Don’t worry, I promise to stick with this. But only because I know I won’t get injured. I mean, the only match I have had recently wasn’t really a match, but more of a beat down, and then last week on Vendetta I beat the shit out of the same people I am facing this week. And I did that single handedly; now I have a partner. What makes you think I am going to get injured?” Asks Xander, while he hopes for a serious answer. Usually she avoids the question, and finds a way to lecture him on something else. This time however, he wants a true answer. Her true feelings on the matter must come out.
“Well, it could be the fact that you really pissed them off. The fact that they want to revenge, or just the fact that one of the men last week was extremely tired after just putting his entire essence into a match. You pick whichever one you think is best. However, no matter which one you do pick, it’s going to lead to the same possibility. All I am going to say now is be careful…please.” Explains Amber, giving him an answer that he was looking for, for the first time in a long while. She must really be upset with him, she isn’t acting herself, and there was no yelling or lecture. Maybe she is coming down with something?
“Eh, don’t worry about it. Nothing bad will happen to me. I promise you that, and if something does then I promised to retire, remember? Basically, what I am saying is that you have nothing to worry about. I guarantee you that I will walk out of that ring with one hundred percent of my health intact.” Says Xander with a smile beginning to appear on his face. Just as the smile begins to turn into laughter as the cameras zoom out and we lose the ability to make out what the couple is saying. The scene the fades out, leaving the two of them sitting alone in the room.
