The arena goes black as a lone violin strikes a slow, sad song as 'the void' briefly appears on the X-Tron before disappearing into the blackness moments later as the lights return in a deep shade of blue Ruth Johnson is found sitting in the turnbuckle. The confused crowd simply stares at this new face.

Ruth Johnson: For those of you that don't know me, my name is Ruth Johnson, and I'm the co-owner of TXW alongside that asshole John McDuffy.

The audience cheers at this as Ruth continues.

Ruth Johnson: Now, I'm sure many of you are wondering what I'm doing here. Over the past three weeks or so I've been sitting in my office watching the events that have unfolded out here and while some things have impressed me, one thing that hasn't has been the way Management has taken advantage of it's power. So I'm going to use my power and make a quick little change to even the playing field a bit. Luke, I'm afraid you aren't going to be getting a shot at the title tonight after all. It just doesn't seem right to make your first match a title match, now does it? Instead, Mr. Carter will be facing the one man that has impresses, especially just a few minutes ago, Slash 'N Burn.

More cheers.

Ruth Johnson: Oh, and McDuffy if anyone at all interferes, Slash wins. I'll see you guys Monday.

The blue lights fade away into darkness and 'the void' briefly appears back on the screen before joining the blackness of the arena. When the lights come back up there is no sign of the void.

Greg Lowder - That was weird.

Sam Selon - No kidding, poor Management, always getting picked on.  But I'm sure Mr. Carter will overcome.  Now, what's next?

Greg Lowder - The big Phom and Cero Hell in a Cell, rematch for the Crusader title.  Should be good.
