A single candle is all that lights a dark room. Seen in the edge of the light is a mannequin slumped against a wall with many knives sticking out of its chest. Slow footsteps are heard walking towards the mannequin before eventually, a silhouette can be seen standing in front of it. Chris Ghensi's deep voice is heard, coupled with his thick Australian accent.

Chris Ghensi
When it was announced that I would be here, I had people asking me what I wanted. People asked me just why I chose to come here. Let me make this clear, I am NOT here to take any sides in some ownership dispute. I did NOT come here to try and reclaim some career that was briefly cut short mere months after I began to build steam. I came here to do what I do whenever I debut in any new promotion, I came here to make an impact. I know, pretty generic, huh? Well, here's the thing, even if I were to elaborate on this, it would still be generic. As a matter of fact, I dare you to come up with something that isn't generic. We have a saying here, I'm not sure if you guys have it, the saying is: "same shit, different smell". Well, I can't smell, so no matter how much you polish it, you'll still be presenting me with the same generic bullshit. But here's the thing. I pride myself on not being generic, on not being normal. So, I offer you a challenge.

Ghensi kneels down, showing his face in the light, an almost psychotic grin across his face

Chris Ghensi
A chance to leave me permanently scarred. Of course, I won't give you the pleasure of being the one to scar me.

Ghensi surveys the mannequin, then pulls a knife out of its chest. He begins to carve something into his left arm.

Chris Ghensi
If I can defeat you, I will let this heal. But if I can not defeat you, you have my word that this will never leave my body.

Ghensi raises his arm to show, written in his messy handwriting, a word on his arm. "GARRETT".

Chris Ghensi
I have battled some of the toughest men, in some of the bloodiest bouts, be them in wrestling, or on the streets. I have taken barbed wire across my spine, I have taken punishment that few others could handle. Can you say the same? If you can't yet, I will gladly help you.

Ghensi chuckles maniacally. He stands up, then kicks the candle that lit the room, causing it to go out.

[Kelly Garrett]

Taking full advantage of a warm fall day in London, Kelly and her boyfriend Lewis are out and about, Kelly is a tourist at heart, and her wrestling career and taken her to many different countries, but is now solely based in England, and she’s fine with that, England as many places to visit. She and Lewis pass by Buckingham Place, then later take a selfies by Big Ben, and the Tower Of London. After a stop for lunch they return to their hotel, Lewis slides the key into the door.

Kelly: So did you enjoy our day out, I knew you were probably tired from your flight from Arizona.

Lewis: No, I enjoyed it, and the flight wasn’t that bad, and you always enjoy being out.

Kelly: So you're not tired then?.

Lewis: No I’m actually okay.

Kelly: Well if you're not tired then, I know something else you can do.

Lewis: What’s that.?

Kelly: You can take me.

Lewis cracks a grin.

Lewis: Well I don’t know about that.

Kelly drops her dress, and stands in front of Lewis in her undergarments.

Kelly: How about now.?

Lewis: Okay You’ve convinced me.

Kelly wraps her arms around Lewis and they kiss.

Later Kelly is standing on the balcony.

Kelly: You know something I never talk about is my personal life, but I’m gonna speak about it now, for all you ladies that want to set me up with your sons, and all of you guys who hit on me when I’m at the gym, I have a boyfriend, his name is Lewis, and he’s the only guy I want to be with.

Kelly walks back into the hotel room she and Lewis sit and the bed and enjoy their room service.

Kelly: It great to see these hotels starting to serve more healthy meals.

Lewis: Like eating a hamburger would kill you.

Kelly: Actually, a hamburger is really unhealthy, with all the crap they put in them.

Lewis: Just enjoy the meal.

After finishing  their meal, Kelly is looking at her computer, and happens to come across Chris Ghensi’s promo, she read it and scratched her head.

Kelly: Boy I seem to get the crazies, Arcane was differently crazy, and to be honest shouldn’t be in a wrestling ring, but bravo to you Arcane you beat me and if you watch that match back there are several times in the match where the referee clearly let you take certain liberties, so obviously there was some collusion there and I have Alison looking into that matter.

Kelly adjusts herself on the bed.

Kelly: Obviously UKWF management made a trip to the nuthouse to find my opponent for Glory Through Iron, I wasn’t scared to some ex-con, and I’m not afraid of you Ghensi, stabbing mannequins, and cutting yourself are definitely signs of a mental condition, so don’t flip your lid when I bet you this week, but I’ll reserve you room at the nuthouse just in case.

As a parody of Garrett's own promo, Chris Ghensi is walking in the scorching Australian sun in his town of origin, Cairns, with the mannequin's arm around his neck, dragging it. Chris is not a very outgoing person and so the trip for the day, just down the road to his local fish and chips shop has been Hell. Add to that, the immense heat. He reaches his small suburban house and retrieves his key from one of the many knives sticking out of the mannequin. Upon entering the house he slumps the mannequin in the corner.

What a day. I might just stab you tonight.

Chris takes off his board shorts and tank top, revealing his beer belly and standing only in his boxers. He stands for a few seconds before moving along, without the mannequin, into another room and turns the air-conditioner on at the coldest possible temperature and sits down. He looks towards the camera.

What?

He looks over towards the other room, then back to the camera.

Oh, you didn't actually think I was gonna fuck the mannequin, did you? Christ, it... is... hot. This is Cairns. We get out the winter gear when it drops below 25 Celsius... That's about 77 Fahrenheit for those of you who prefer it that way. Anyway, on to your comments. LIGHTS!

The lights go out before Ghensi lights a candle.

Insanity. It's amazing how two men, myself and Arcane, could possibly come to cross paths when we are equally disturbed. But of course, this is not our first encounter. There was no need to go to an insane asylum to find two people like us. Just one city. One region. One promotion. Southern California's now closed promotion, So-Cal Unplugged. That is where we two first met. And that is where we two did battle. And that is where this experience comes in handy. You and I share something, Garrett. We have both battled Arcane. And we have both come out short. But, Arcane and I share something more.

Ghensi stands up and begins to walk.

We share a past. Only a brief past, but a past nonetheless. We have a similar psyche. Make all your claims about the referee, but Arcane truly is that good. Something I came to learn. But, I intend on he and I sharing one more thing. A victory over you.

Ghensi blows the candle out and after a few seconds the light turns on. He is now standing next to the fridge. He opens the fridge and retrieves a bottle of Great Northern Lager.

Oh, and for anyone who thinks it, nobody here drinks Fosters. I have no idea where the fuck you got that from.

[Kelly Garrett]

Inside her locker room, Kelly and Alison are discussing some non wrestling matters. Kelly is wrapping her hands, and after getting the wraps the way she liked them, she began stretching, as Katherine Kensington knocks at the door.

Alison: Well hello.

Katherine: Hello, I was wondering if I could get a few words with Kelly before her match.

Kelly: Okay, we’ll have to keep it short.

Katherine: Okay, first question, how have you enjoyed your time here UKWF.

Kelly: It’s been okay, things haven’t gone my way in my first two matches.

Katherine: I understand that doctors cleared you almost immediately after your last match with Arcane, despite being cut.

Kelly: Yeah, I wasn’t really hurt that bad despite the fact the the referee did allow Arcane certain liberties in the match, but since there may be a protest about that, Alison has advised me not to talk about that.

Alison eyes are busy checking Katherine out.

Katherine: Tonight you face Chris Ghensi, and your considered the underdog in the match.

Kelly: When your 5’ 2 you're always considered the underdog, but I relish being the underdog, it motivates me to work harder than my opponent, and be better than my opponent.

Katherine: So what do you know of your opponent.

Kelly: Well not much really other than what Alison has told me, but I do know he wrestled in the same company as Arcane, some underground place, but just as Arcane found out I’m no easy victory, and if Ghensi takes me lightly, he might find himself looking up at the lights, wondering why he just lost to me.

Katherine looks creeped out by Alison constantly staring at her.

Katherine: Okay, I think I'm out of time, Thank-you Kelly and good luck tonight.

Katherine then walks out of the locker room.

Kelly: Really, Alison.

Alison: What?

Kelly: You were so checking her out.

Alison: She’s cute, I should see if she would like to go out sometime.

Kelly rolls her eyes and smiled then goes back to her stretching.
