Acknowledging the OOC comment but responding to it IC, because that's more fun:

" You may not already know this, but that championship is on the line 24 hours a day and I've been in official matches, plural—by default title defenses, plural—while holding it… and I've won said matches, again, plural. Thank you for looking out for me, however. It's not like anyone has a free enough schedule to take this title from me before I acquire that briefcase anyway, most obviously highlighted by the fact that so many are tied up in the King of the Ring tournament and will be in no condition to even speak my name, let alone give me a viable challenge. I didn't even opt out of this week's Warfare and you clearly couldn't think of a single person who could hold their own in a ring with me, so you left me off the card. Is it my fault I was left off? No, it is not. "

" Did you have some poor soul you personally wanted to see me eradicate before that date, sir? Who is the unfortunate one you condemn? Do you thirst for more of my supremacy to be cast over this land of marionettes? Do humor me, good sir. "
