Short Change Hero by The Heavy plays through the speakers and the audience are left bewildered as to what's happening, speculating as they mutter among themselves but not too loudly, as they're anticipating something big.
El Chupacabra: What the hell is going on?

YOUR HERO, AND MINE
.

.
YOUR HERO, AND MINE
From the moments those words appear on the tron, a massive pop ensues from the audience and the arena is left rocking as they know who's about to come through those curtains.
El Chupacabra: Could it be?! Could it be?!
Jesse Payne: I don't believe it Chupa! I won't believe!
This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
Emerging from the back, is the self proclaimed "Prince of CHAOS" who receives a standing ovation as he stands tall on the top of the entrance ramp, trying to keep himself composed, trying to let his emotions not get the better of him. But he can't help it. A smirk appears upon his lips and he closes his eyes, embracing the audience as he spreads his arms out wide and mouths "The Prince Is Home", before making his way down the entrance ramp.
El Chupacabra: IT'S MARK STORM! IT'S MARK STORM, THE FORMER EWC WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! WHAT'S HE DOING ON FRIDAY NIGHT RAMPAGE!
Jesse Payne: IT'S HAPPENING CHUPA.. COULD THE RUMORS BE TRUE? COULD MARK STORM BE RETURNING FULL TIME TO FRIDAY NIGHT RAMPAGE!
At this point, Storm is by the edge of the ring; allowing a smile to embed on his face before he jumps on the apron and holds onto the ropes, using them to help himself up onto the turnbuckle. He's grinning from ear to ear, soaking in the rest of the cheers coming from the audience, shaking his head sideways as he lowers it, before jumping into the ring.
El Chupacabra: A former EWC World Heavyweight Champion, a one time tag team champion and one of the most familiar names in all of wrestling! Mark Storm is back where he belongs, on Friday nights!
This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."
The speakers begin to lower in volume and Storm is passed a microphone by one of the staff members on the outside of the ring, thanking them before returning to the middle of the ring. He's dressed in a casual attire; consisting of a black leather coat; biker style, with a white t-shirt underneath, blue slim jeans and beige timberland boots.
"STORM, STORM, STORM, STORM.."
Chants of his name begin to boom through the arena which leaves Mark Storm speechless, previously he tried to bring the microphone to his mouth but he apprehended, astonished by the reaction of the audience, he lowers his microphone to his side and lowers his head; his signature sadistic smile on full display.
Mark Storm: Your Hero...
He simply says, to a massive pop that forces him to stop.
Mark Storm: And Mine...
Once again, he's forced to stop by the reaction of the audience, that aren't giving up.
Mark Storm: HAS COME HOME, TO FRIDAY NIGHT RAMPAGE!
A massive pop ensues and the arena is shaking from the audiences response.
"STORM, STORM, STORM, STORM.."
Pacing the ring, he waits for the audiences cheers and chants to die down a little, before bringing the microphone back up to his moisturized lips.
Mark Storm: It's been a long time coming but it's always been coming.. my return, home to Friday Nights. I've missed you. I've missed you more than anything. It was on this brand where I held that EWC World Heavyweight Championship, draping it over my shoulder and representing this brand, as it's top talent. It was on this brand, where I came across some of my most formidable opponents in this business. It was on this brand where I started a dynasty! And it was inevitable, that one day; the Prince of CHAOS, Your Hero and Mine - would come back to the place he calls home!
He pauses, as the audience applause him on his opening statements.
Mark Storm: My time over at Monday Night Brawl was spectacular. I had a blast.. but during my whole time there, I couldn't help but think there was something missing; there was a chapter unfulfilled and I didn't know what it was at the time. But I do now.
There's a lot of people at the back right now who are probably watching this, some happy and some not. But they're all thinking, what on earth is going to happen now. Mark Storm, their hero; has come back to Friday Night Rampage, some maybe shitting their pants right now, some maybe reveling the opportunity to face me.
There's a lot of shit that I've missed out on, a whole year of trials and tribulations that have gone down on this brand. But that era.. that era is over. Those guys and gals who posed as your top players.. their time at the top, is over. I'm coming for it all.. I'm taking my place on the throne. I'm going to get it all..
Megan Gunn better watch out. Your Hero, is gonna get ya.
Griffin Hawkins better watch out. Your Hero, is coming for ya.
And last but not least; Gabreal Martin better watch out.
Because his worst nightmare; is back on Friday Night Rampage!
Gabreal Martin: Nightmare?
Gabreal Martin appears on the stage.
Gabreal Martin: If you honestly think you are my worst nightmare you are sadly mistaken. First though lets all welcome back Mark Storm ladies and gentlemen.
Loud round of applause and cheers as Gabe makes his way down the ramp to the ring.
Gabreal Martin: It has been quite a while hasn't it Mark? I think the last time you and I were in the same ring you were getting pinned by Luke Wolfe. Then again that is the story of the last year isn't it. Mark Storm lying on his back in the center of the ring.
Audible boo from the crowd.
Gabreal Martin: The truth hurts people get over it. Let me tell you a story of two men. First Mark Storm he won the tag team titles with a partner who had to carry his ass and the proof of which is when only Mark Storm lost his half of the tag team titles. Well Mark Storm decided that he wanted a shake up and he decided to go over to Brawl. He left and he had a fun. He left and was awesomely sub par. Now he is back on Rampage calling himself a hero.
The other man is Gabreal Martin. The person he ditched. The person he left high and dry. It took me a while to realize it, but at least now I know two things. This man was never my friend and that I was better off with out him. You see while you were off getting beat by Tiffani Lopez on Brawl I was carrying this brand on my back with Luke Wolfe.
You have come back calling yourself a hero and that you are my worst nightmare. I say this you are no hero you are just another wanna be who thinks he can make a difference against the many. I also say this you are no nightmare to me you are merely a ghost of my past that I will have to exercise. You can either tuck your tail between your legs and leave again like the coward you are or I will forcefully get you out of my way. I will plow through you just like any other obstacle on my way to the top.
Boos echo through the arena as Gabe comes to a stop, now standing opposite Mark Storm and both men intensely gaze at one another, not even allowing themselves to blink for a second. Storm then raises his microphone.
Mark Storm: You're right Gabe. Last year wasn't my year. Last year, was the toughest year of my life. And despite not reaching the heights that was expected of me, I could've gave up. I could've called it quits and just left with my name becoming a memory. But I'm not going to do that. That's not who I am. I am back, in this ring, in the EWC, on Friday Night Rampage and there is nothing you can do about it.
Cheers echo through the arena.
Mark Storm: This is the brand that I built back in 2015, and don't you forget it! You may of had your fun last year running around with the lunatic Luke Wolfe but don't forget where it all started, and how it all started! It was us Gabe! You and Me against the world, Shelley Silver and Jay Reynolds too. But you've made your choice loud and clear, a choice you made over a year ago, deciding you didn't want to team with me anymore.. allowing Luke Wolfe to infest your mind with his nonsensical, philosophical bullshit that no one gives a damn about. You're nothing but a puppet. That's all you've been for the last year, with Luke Wolfe pulling your strings. Wake up, Gabe. Wake the fuck up!
Gabreal Martin: Wake up? I have never been more awake in my life. While you call me a puppet anything I do to help Luke is of my own choice. I am not JTC. I am not a lackey to be directed. I am fed up with that stigma. I am tired of being looked over Most of all now I am tired of you.
Gabe charges at Mark who meets him and the two men start to trade punches. The security get in the ring and force them apart, but it only lasts a moment before each man is free and again trading shots with one another. The security again pull them apart this time holding their arms behind their backs. The two former tag team champions shout at one another as we go to commercial.
