July.
It was so close.
He was going to beat him.
He was going to beat him bad.
Tunnel vision, fine.
Bradyn Saint?
Bring it on.
[Bryce Manning sat on top of his throne of deceit and hatred. He made victims of anyone that he saw fit, subjugating them into his terrible cycle. Peyton and Luke Jackson stood before him now, the only ones to stop his reign of infamy. Manning had pushed his limits as MSW Champion. He was no longer just going around, assaulting his fellow wrestlers, he was attacking the people who make up his paycheck. The fanbase were now Bryce Manning's prey and it was up to Peyton and Luke Jackson to put an end to it. Peyton was not going to act all heroic at Back to Basics. Peyton was not going to defeat Manning because he wanted the gold. He was going to kick his ass and take his belt because he no longer deserves it. You attack people who are defenseless? You're going to have to face the music. Peyton was going to see to that.]
[Once again, Peyton found himself in front of a camera with Robert Fields nearby. Fields was checking his microphone, doing the normal sound tests. Peyton was taking in the atmosphere of it all. He could hardly believe where he was now. About five months ago, he never thought that he would a contender, he only thought he'd be a bum, which he was at the time. Now, he stood in front of waves of fans who adored him. Last week, the same fan that got "spineshanked" by Manning told him that Peyton was going to kick his ass.]
[Fields passed off a faulty microphone to the tech crew. Peyton realized that MSW was not that small anymore. They had moved to the Kansas City Repertory Theatre and things changed. There was new talent every week. Some only appeared for that week then vanished, while others stuck around and were starting to make waves of their own. Artemis, his younger sister, is now the MSW Women's Champion. Yugo Phailous, JBC's tag partner, was going to be fighting for the MSW Tag Team Championship soon. Roman Gold, despite being a despicable piece of filth, he was making his waves. Now, there was a man this week who was trying to make his impact in MSW...by taking out Peyton.]
[Fields was ready now. Peyton stretched a bit, relaxing his jaw. After getting the countdown, Robert turned to Peyton.]
Robert Fields: "Inquiring fans wish to know, Peyton, how do you feel coming into your match at Back to Basics against Luke Jackson and Bryce Manning?"
[Peyton let a grin appear on his face. The question was coming. At least, Fields was polite to do it off gate, rather than wait until the end to do so.]
Peyton: "He's gone too far. Honestly, when Bryce Manning beat me in the semi-finals of the Best of the Best tournament, I knew he was going to go on become our champion. However, I never thought that he would stoop so low in his life. He attacked Luke and I from behind and acted like he was better than the both of us for it. And now, we're going to be in the ring again. I can tell you that I am coming in there with a new mindset and a bit of surprises for our champion. So there is that."
Fields: "Alright, good answer. Next and final, you have a match here against a newcomer, Bradyn Saint. Some say he's similar to Bryce Manning. You've this mentality that you have before every match. You analyze and study your opponents. How are you planning to go into this match?"
Peyton: "It is odd, really. Artemis knows him, Kat knows him, but as a friendly individual. I am not sure how I am going to face him to be honest. There are no statistics listed anywhere. I searched around for ages and was able to find nothing. So I am legitimately going into this match blind. He has the advantage of being able to study me, but it is okay. I assume I now fit this position as a gate. Beat me, then you made a name for yourself here in MSW."
Peyton: "But Bradyn, I'm going to tell you something that I didn't tell Jaxin a while back. You're not facing your average, everyday Peyton. This week begins my journey to the MSW Heavyweight Championship. I am going to beat Bryce Manning and take what's dear to him, what holds him in power. Losing you would put me back. It would almost ruin my game. No, this is not happening, Bradyn. I'm bringing my a-game that only one man could stop and that is the man I vow to defeat."
Peyton: "Either you can beat me, Bradyn, or you become another win on my way to the MSW Heavyweight Championship. Good luck, my fellow competitor."
[Peyton walked away from the camera, his smile has vanished. A legitimate moment of complete belligerence had come upon MSW's Personal Hero. Manning had tested him and pushed him beyond the points that he had seen before. These weeks until Back to Basics, a change was coming. And Bryce will suffer for it.]
