Finn walks through the backstage of the sets on Universal Studios, struggling only slightly after such a neck-and-neck, hard-fought match with Buster Gloves. He brings a towel over his face, wiping the blood out of his mouth and the sweat off his forehead as he's intending on just relaxing for the time being. However, another pair of footsteps dart up from behind, grabbing Finn's attention as he turns around.
"Finn! Finn Kühn!" It's a familiar sight of an exhausted announcer, who's clearly still woozy on his feet and has a set of stitches covering up a gash on his head.
"Steve Sayors," Finn managed to get out with a small chuckle as he placed his rag on his shoulder. "Surprised you're even here right now after what happened to you last night."
"Wasn't pretty... Honestly, I'm surprised I'm here too, but a job's a job, and I'm still willing to go through with everything, so... here we are!" Finn leaned back on the nearby wall, crossing his arms as Sayors continued. "So, I know this got a little swept up with everything that happened tonight, but one of the questions I have to ask you is about your match out there. Strong rumors are going around right now saying that Buster Gloves was not the person who said they quit out there tonight. Would you happen to know anything about that...?"
"What," Finn snorted out as he turned to look at the portly interviewer. "You think I cheated out there or something?"
"I didn't outright say anything of the sort, but... you have to admit, Finn, it's a little suspicious when it comes to the people who are looking in from the outside. Your past when it comes to morality with your prior runs in the XWF is... questionable, shall we put it, and this makes two out of three matches you've had now in this run where outside interference was at least heavily speculated. So, I have to ask again... did you have anything to do with what happened in your match tonight?" Sayors leaned in close to Finn to get his response, with the camera that followed him doing the same.
Finn's expression turned into that of a scowl as he looked at Sayors. "I said it before when I was gearing up to face Lexi Gold and John Black, and I'll say it again. I despise cheating. There is no glory to be gained in that ring with dubious means like that. I'm going to figure out who got involved in my business, and if Buster Gloves - and yes, I'm going to say his name out of respect for the man who brought it out there tonight - thinks I was responsible in the slightest for that, then he can meet me in the ring on Warfare while I'll be out there talking, and we can discuss this like grown-ass adults."
"Well, that's... certainly an answer then..." Sayors managed to stumble out, straightening himself under Finn's harsh glare. "Oh, but if I may... you'll be talking on Warfare? What about?"
"Simple," Finn said. "For too long I've been trying to figure out my next move in this company now that I'm back, and intending to prove I'm better than ever."
"Before my match on the next Warfare, I intend to show everyone how I plan on doing so while I figure out who got involved in my match at Relentless."
