Dressed without a shirt, simply combat boots and jeans, Eddie Chamberlain approaches Mandii from the shadows backstage, raising her suspicions immediately

"E": You know, I think its pathetic, what you have to go through to remain champion. All of these nobodies trying to catch you off guard. No respect. I'm Eddie, btw. Most people call me Easy.

With an outstretched hand and an eager grin, Eddie notices the hesitance on Mandii's part.

"E": I know what you're thinking, I --

All of the sudden, Eddie begins coughing violently. Hack after hack after hack until Eddie doubles over at the waist, hand against a backstage craft tables to hold himself up. As his coughing fit continues, Mandii takes a cautious step forward, curious about this bizarre occurance before her.

Suddenly, Eddie seizes Mandii at the backs of her knees, spearing her ruthlessly into the ground. Hopping back to his feet with a handful of hair, he begins raining down fists.

"E": I KNOW WHAT EVERYONE IS THINKING, BECAUSE I'M JUST A GOD LIKE THAT.

In a flash, Eddie whips her to her feet and nails a brutal Fade to Black on the concrete.

"E": It's nothing personal, hon.
