The opening pyros hit and here we go.

We go to the back where we see someone pulling up to the arena on a motorcycle, clad in all black leather. The person gets off the bike and takes off his helmet...it's Griffin Hawkins! The crowd in the arena is heard cheering at the mere appearance of him. He heads inside, whistling to the tune of "Rule Britannia" as he heads towards the arena..but is stopped by Michael Saint and what looks to be a flank of security.
Griffin Hawkins: Wow, I get a security escort to my locker room? I feel like John Lennon!
Michael Saint: I don't think so Hawkins. I told you you had the night off, I figured you would've followed those orders.
Griffin Hawkins: Dude, if you're gonna have a UK Party, you can't have it without me! Now come on...let's get started!
Michael Saint: It's not happening Hawkins. Something told me that you would try and come to the arena, so I had security be ready for you. You are barred from this arena, like it or not.
A collective of boos are heard from inside the arena.
Griffin Hawkins: ...What if I said please?
Michael Saint: I'm doing this for your own safety Griffin. Last week you could've been seriously injured, and I can't have one of my top champions on the shelf.
Griffin Hawkins: Dude, your concern for my safety is as fake as Kim Kardashian's ass. The only reason you're barring me from this arena is because you don't want me fucking with your main event. You can ban me from all the arenas in the world, but sooner or later...
: 'Sooner or later' what?
Toni Gunn walks past security, sneering at Griffin.
Toni Gunn: Look who it is...the rock star. You just don't know when to quit do you Griff? I beat you in the ring, I beat you up last week, and now I'm starting to think you get some kind of thrill out of this.
Griffin Hawkins: Okay, I'm man enough to admit that you beat me, I don't make excuses...but last time I remember, it was you and your boy who jumped me from behind when I was headed towards the ring to call you out. For someone who beat me, it sounds like you consider me a serious threat to go that far.
Toni Gunn: Listen [CENSORED BY NETWORK], I have nothing left to prove to you, I beat you one-two-three in the middle of that ring, and with that victory, all your hopes and dreams of being the EWC Undisputed Champion went right out the window.
Griffin Hawkins: Man, for someone who's beaten me, you sure sound insecure.
Toni Gunn: You think I'm insecure? How about I drop you where you stand right here and we'll see if you're singing the same tune?
Griffin Hawkins: Like to seeya try...come on.
Saint gets between the two, preventing a fight.
Michael Saint: No! We are not having a fight on the street like common trash! Toni, you have a match to prepare for; Hawkins, you are to leave this arena now. And if you interfere in this match in any way possible, you'll be stripped of your U.S Title – make a choice.
Griffin Hawkins: Alright fine, I'm history. This isn't over Toni.
He walks away, putting his helmet back on as he rides away into the night. Saint looks over to Toni.
Michael Saint: Toni, if you're having problems with him, I got no problem--
Toni Gunn: Don't even think about it Saint. Did you somehow think we're friends just because we have a common enemy?
Michael Saint: Well, actually, I--
Toni Gunn: Shut up. I'm not gonna be one of your little stooges, and neither is Harv. It's personal between me and Griff. And when I end his career, I'm gonna do it for me, not you. So if you get in my way, I'll put you through the worst beating of your life. Got it? Now get out of my way, I got a match to get ready for.
She angrily brushes past him and heads inside and we go to commercial.
