Caleb took a risk last week on Climax Control where he went straight to Christian’s office and asked him why he was no longer in contention for the Internet Title Match at Violent Conduct, well he got his answer and an ultimatum, the challenge was too Senor Vinnie when he was still champ and was voided when Teddy Warren beat him for the title but Caleb got another chance to compete for the title, all he had to do was beat Stephan Callaway or he’d get a worse title shot ban than what Jessie got.
Needless to say Caleb won the match and now the match between Teddy and Vinnie was a Triple Threat which included him, this effectively made him the dark horse in the match but stranger things have happened, can Caleb win the Internet Title for the first time?

Now to make sure that my risk pays off.
As I walked away from Christian’s office Katie was giving me concerned looks all the way, if I win the match against Stephan Callaway then I’m in the Internet Title Match, if I lose, well, there goes any title hopes I had for a while.
“Are you sure about this Caleb?” Katie whispered to me as we walked away from Christian’s office. “If you lose the match then who knows how long it’ll be before your next title match?”
“It’s Stephan Callaway! The only guy he’s beaten as of late is El Dark!” I pointed out with a scoff as we walked away. “I’m pretty sure he has a worse win/loss record than me!”
“Let’s hope your right.” Katie responded with a nod as we walked away. “For your sake.”
*after Caleb’s match*
Sure enough, the threat of a title shot ban was enough to help me secure the win over Stephan Callaway and my place in the Internet Title Match, all because I decided to bet on myself during that meeting with Christian.
As I walked through the backstage area following my win, I was greeted by Katie who had a big grin on her face, for obvious reasons, as she ran up to me. “Caleb, if it weren’t for the lockdown, I’d take you to the Gold Coast Casino with that luck!”
“Will you settle for Caesar’s Palace?” I asked referring to the host of this year’s Violent Conduct and Katie grinned in response. “Just two things to do now, celebrate and work on my next song parody.”
“Just warn me when your about to start recording it.” Katie deadpanned before we walked off to the cafeteria where we had been watching the rest of the show.
*almost a week later at Caleb’s studio space*
I had been spending the rest of the week either training for the title match or working on my song parody at my studio space and that’s when I wasn’t spending time with my wife or Lemmy.
I just realized how different this year is compared to last year, huh.
“Can’t decide on this damn lyric.” I muttered under my breath as I looked at the song parody’s lyrics, it was then that Katie entered the room where I did most of my song writing alongside Lemmy. “If I can’t make this work than the parody will be ruined.”
“As opposed to you ruining the original songs.” Katie teased me as Lemmy walked up to me, I stroked the Labrador before I turned my attention back to her. “You did get some death threats for the A Whole New World Parody.”
“And now you know why I haven’t done a Disney Parody since then.” I responded as I shook my head and Katie just let out a deep breath. “Seriously I didn’t think people took Disney songs that seriously.”
“It’s also one of the most beloved songs of the Disney Renaissance Era but you ignored that by pointing out that Google Translate Sings did it first.” Katie pointed out and I shook my head whilst continuing to stroke Lemmy.
“Yeah and she didn’t get any crap for it.” I pointed out and Katie shook her head. “Besides, this will all be worth it in the end, trust me!”
“Uh-huh, if you want something to drink just give me a shout.” Katie responded before she left the room.
*promo time*
It wasn’t long after that I decided on the final lyric, I needed to make the song perfect and there was only one thing left for me to do as Lemmy lay by my side, my promo!
“Sometimes you have to bet on yourself to get ahead in life, well last week on Climax Control I betted on myself in a major way and it paid off as I am now in the Triple Threat Match for the Internet Championship against defending champion Teddy Warren and the former champion Senor Vinnie, how do I figure into the picture? Because I would’ve challenged Vinnie for the title after Teddy, or at least I like to think so!”
First up is the champ!
“Teddy, you shocked the world when you beat Senor Vinnie for the Internet Championship at the beginning of the Supercard Cycle, none more than me because I thought that Vinnie had that title defence in the bag! That said, the same can’t be said for you in this title match Teddy as the odds are firmly stacked against you since you don’t have to be pinned to lose the title either to me or back to Vinnie, either way your not walking out the champion!”
Next up is Senor Vinnie.
“And speaking of Senor Vinnie, you had one job, just one and that was to keep Teddy’s hands off the Internet Championship and you failed at that, and next Sunday you will fail at winning back the Internet Championship from Teddy because I’m the third man in the match which makes me the proverbial spanner in the works and next Sunday that spanner in the works will be walking out the new Internet Champion!”
It’s that simple.
“This match started as a singles match between Teddy and Vinnie for the Internet Championship but now thanks to me, it’s a triple threat match and when I take the title home with me, you can thank me then! Why? Because I proved how it can be worth it to bet on yourself and your abilities in the ring and trust that they will win you the day, and next Sunday neither Teddy nor Vinnie will stand in my way of that title!”
And with that I decided to wrap things up.
“It’s about time that some fresh blood held the title and your looking at them, Senor Vinnie vs. Teddy Warren would’ve just been a rematch from the start of the Supercard Cycle but with me in the match? I’m offering people a match that no one has seen before and when I win there will be a fresh face holding the Internet Championship because Vinnie and Teddy had better brace themselves for there is storm brewing, otherwise they’ll be blown away by your next Internet Champion “The Metal Storm” Caleb Storms!”
I walked off with Lemmy as the scene fades.
