Madness returns in the office of Paul Heyman. The old familiar buzz from the intercom is heard.
SLY: “Mr. Heyman, uhhhh, the uhhhh, Brotherhood is here to see you.”
PAUL HEYMAN: “Send them in.”
SLY: “Right away, sir.”
After a few seconds, Duke, Gilmour, MacAlister, Nightmare and the Messenger enter Heymans office. Neil Capra walks out in front of Heymans desk and stands in front of the Brotherhood.
SEBASTIAN DUKE: “You wanna sit down, Nate? Or are you gonna make me sit you down?”
PAUL HEYMAN: “Neil. Back off.”
Capra returns to his position standing behind Heyman.
PAUL HEYMAN: “I guess the question that is on my mind is, why are you here?”
SEBASTIAN DUKE: “Just to fuck with the Black Circle, Paul.”
PAUL HEYMAN: “I do like what you did to their limo. Of course, it means they'll have a hard time leaving and that's not really good for anybody.
“Guys, level with me. Why have you come to Madness?”
SEBASTIAN DUKE: “We just intend to ensure that no one from the Black Circle interferes next week.”
PAUL HEYMAN: “I've already made a ruling on that. Had you been at home watching, like you should be, you'd know that no one will be interfering because there will be severe repercussions.”
SEBASTIAN DUKE: “Be that as it may, Paul, that's not going to deter us from doing what we plan to do.”
PAUL HEYMAN: “And what is that, exactly? What is the Brotherhood planning for tonight?”
SEBASTIAN DUKE: “If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise. Now, would it?”
PAUL HEYMAN: “I don't like surprises.”
SEBASTIAN DUKE: “Let's just say a little pain in your ass, will be taken care of.”
Paul leans back in his chair.
PAUL HEYMAN: “Now, you have my attention, and my interest. I'll be watching.”
The Brotherhood leaves Heymans office. Heyman gives that old grin of his as Madness fades to commercial.
JIM ROSS: “We're back and Madness is really heating up!”
XAVIER REIGNS: “The Black Circle is here! The Brotherhood is here!”
JIM ROSS: “Things tend to get a little crazy when those two groups get together!”
XAVIER REIGNS: “I don't like it JR!”
JIM ROSS: “Be that as it may, Xavier, we're moving along here.”
JASON DANIELS: “The following Xtreme Rules match is set for 2 out of 3 falls!”

JASON DANIELS: “Introducing first. From Virginia Beach, Virginia. Weighing 2 hundred 40 pounds. JJJJJOHN AUSTIIIIIIIN!”
JIM ROSS: “John Austin, seems ready for a fight tonight!”
XAVIER REIGNS: “Isn't he always?”
“The Campaign” by Affiance plays.
JASON DANIELS: “His opponent. From Tupelo, Mississippi. Weighing 2 hundred 23 pounds. He is the Savior, ELLLL JAYYYY HAVOK!”
JIM ROSS: “You know, the King was from Tupelo.”
XAVIER REIGNS: “God! You're not getting all nostalgic on me are you? I don't need to go out and get a plastic crown, do I?”
JIM ROSS: “Not that King, idiot! Elvis!”
XAVIER REIGNS: “Speaking of Kings, LJ Havok gets a shot at the crown, right here next week on Madness!”
JIM ROSS: “Indeed he does. And he beat 29 other men and women to make that dream a reality!”

Madness fades to commercial
After the commercial break, we return to the office of Paul Heyman, where we see the boss in question staring intently over at the guest he has with him at this moment. The cameras pan over and we see the reason he's staring, his guest at this time is none other than Jessie-ica? Diaz. After a few moments of silence, in which she presses her palms to each other, and bows to her boss before taking a seat in the chair opposite the desk Heyman is seated behind.
Paul He-Man: “So, is there anything you wanted to see me about, or are you going to just...?”
Jessie-ica places her index finger to Heyman's lips to silence him momentarily. With her other hand she forcefully clutches Heyman's right wrist, looking deeply into his eyes. Heyman sits there, an expression on his face that tells us how, awkward this situation is.
Jessica Diaz: “Mister Heyman, please remain silent.”
Heyman opens his mouth to speak again, only to have her finger pressed to his lips once more.
Jessica Diaz: “Now, onto the why, of this visit. I have come only to ask you one question. Have you seen the light?”
Heyman we see is still seated still as a stone. The look on Jessica's face quickly turns to an impatient glare. Startled, Heyman jumps back a bit, before stammering to an answer.
Paul He-Man: “Uhh...”
Jessica Diaz: “Come on, Mister Heyman. It isn't that hard of a question to answer, if you sit there and honestly think about it. Please, sit there and think about it for a moment. You just might be surprised what the answer is...”
Heyman attempts to avert his eyes from Jessica's, however she continues to follow his until inevitably, Heyman gives up.
Paul He-Man: “Umm... OW!”
Quickly, Jessica twists Heyman's wrist and slams it onto the desk. Hiding her annoyed demeanor behind a sweet smile, she reiterates her point to a Heyman who no doubt is paying attention this time.
Jessica Diaz: “Now now, Mister Heyman. I did not come in here with an intention to cause you physical harm. I did however, wish for an answer to my question. It does not seem like you're one to respond, so I will offer you a proposition.
“I will be your light, if you allow me to be.”
Heyman's eyes widen at the thought of whatever that proposition could entail. However, as he opens his mouth to make a response, he sees that Jessica is gone, left the room while he sat there, his jaw on the floor almost. Clutching his hurt wrist in his other hand, he leans back in his chair, almost at ease.
Paul He-Man: “Sly? Don't send anyone else in without my permission again.”
The scene then fades to commercial as Heyman wonders just what the fuck had happened.
Madness returns and the cameras are in the hallway watching Luca and Black Juan Madison walk toward the arena.
LUCA ARZEGOTTI: “John, I think Peter Gilmour will enjoy what I have to say.”
They continue to walk when Luca finally stops. He turns around and there is no John Madison.
LUCA ARZEGOTTI: “Black Juan! You forgot the King!”
Black Juan smacks himself in the head.
LUCA ARZEGOTTI: “He can't be wheeling himself around! He needs that energy to heal for next week! Go get him!”
Black Juan Madison turns around and walks the other way to retrieve John Madison. Luca continues on toward the ring. Moments later, the lights in the hallway go out. Yelling and 'thump' sounds can be heard. Soon, that familiar rumble is heard.
In the dark of the hallway a single light can be seen as the rumble gets louder and the light gets closer.
The light comes to a stop and the lights in the hallway return. Peter Gilmour is on his motorcycle. Chained up and attached behind the motorcycle is Luca Arzegotti. Peter throttles the bike and begins dragging Luca behind him as the rest of the Brotherhood looks on.
Madness fades to commercial.
JIM ROSS: “We're back here on Madness and Luca Arzegotti is in a world of trouble!”
XAVIER REIGNS: “TROUBLE! JR! TROUBLE!”
JIM ROSS: “Hopefully nothing drastic happens, but right now, it's time for the main event!”
JASON DANIELS: “The following contest is a last man standing match!”
“Money” by Pink Floyd plays.
JASON DANIELS: “Introducing first. From Nottingham, England. Weighing in at 2 hundred 20 pounds. ANDREW ALLLLLLLDWAAAAAY!”
JIM ROSS: “Shawn Steele!”
XAVIER REIGNS: “He's not waiting, JR!”

Madness fades to commercial.
Madness returns and the cameras are focused on Gilmour on his motorcycle who has just made it to the ramp. He throttles the bike and drags Luca behind him down the entrance ramp. Pete circles the ring at a high rate of speed and ensures that Luca slams off of everything from the barricades to the ring posts.
Gilmour finally kills the motorcycle engine and releases a battered and bruised Luca from the chains. It's revealed that Luca is handcuffed. Pete digs around under the ring and finds a chair. He tosses it into the ring and then lifts Luca and drapes him over his shoulder.
Pete climbs the ring steps with Luca over his shoulder. He walks the apron and dumps Luca over the top rope and into the ring. Pete steps into the ring and points to Luca with one hand. He clenches a fist with the other. The fans cheer loudly for the King of Xtreme.
Pete stands over Luca, who is on his knees. Using his left hand, he holds Lucas head in place against his knee. Pete reaches into the pocket of his jeans with his free hand and pulls out a set of brass knuckles. He secures the brass knucks on his fist and tells the cameraman to get a look. The camera zooms in. In raised lettering, across the knuckles, it reads
BROTHERHOOD.
Pete reaches high into the air and drives his brass knuckles into the forehead of Luca. Then again. And again. Faster and faster as the blood flows from Arzegottis head! Repeatedly, dozens of times, Pete drives the bloodied brass knuckles into the skull of Luca.
Pete drops Luca. Then tosses the knucks to the mat. Pete grabs the chair and winds up to hit Luca.
????: “Stop! Gilmour! Don't do it!”
Pete looks up toward the entrance way. Emerging from backstage is Black Juan wheeling John Madison in his wheel chair.
JOHN MADISON: “You made your point!”
Luca is on his knees, facing Gilmour. His face a bloodied mess. Pete points at Madison, then crashes the chair into Lucas face, finally knocking him out cold. Pete then wraps the chair around Luca's ankle.
JOHN MADISON: “Black Juan! Wheel me down there!”
Black Juan begins to wheel Madison down the ramp. Pete climbs to the middle rope and looks at Madison and smiles.
JOHN MADISON: “Don't do it, Pete! C'mon, Black Juan! Faster!”
Pete now has a mic as he sits on the top turnbuckle.
PETER F'n GILMOUR: “That little runt just runs his fuckin' mouth! Look at him, Madison! He's not runnin' anywhere! I finally shut that cocksuckers mouth! If you don't stop right there, I'm gonna break his fuckin' ankle!”
Madison stops immediately, about midway down the ramp. He tries to talk into the mic but no sound comes out. He tosses the mic in anger and starts yelling at Gilmour. Gilmour then jumps off the turnbuckle and onto the chair, severely injuring Luca's ankle!
Madison motions toward the ring, but stops when he sees Gilmour on the ring apron with the chair in hand. Madison motions for Juan to take him back up the ramp. Juan begins pulling him back up the ramp. A little passed half way up, Juan turns the wheel chair around. Juan begins to push the wheel chair up the ramp when Madison gives him the signal to stop.
Standing on the very top of the ramp, is LJ Havok. Madison now tells Juan to go back toward the ring. Juan spins him around and he realizes Peter Gilmour is standing at the very bottom of the ramp. Juan positions the wheel chair sideways. Madison looks at Havok. Then Gilmour. Back at Havok. Back at Gilmour.
Both Havok and Gilmour charge toward John Madison...
Madness fades out.
