As I’m sure you all are aware of by now, about two months ago Wyatt Peterson was injured at the hands on Casey Williams. The scene opens inside of a doctor’s office the day after the injury. Wyatt is sitting on the exam table with his arm in a sling. The doctor comes into the room carrying an envelope.
Doctor: Thank you for your patience. It took a little longer than I thought it would, but I have your x-rays.
The doctor opens the envelope and pulls out the x-rays, hanging them onto an illuminated board.
Wyatt: What’s the damage, Doc?
The doctor points to a very clear fracture.
Doctor: It appears that you fractured your clavicle.
Wyatt: In English?
Doctor: You broke your shoulder.
Wyatt: Well, that ain’t good.
Doctor: It’s really not as bad as it sounds. It takes about four to six weeks to heal with about another two to three weeks of rehab. A lot of people actually come out of this type of injury stronger than they were before.
Wyatt: So, ah’ll have tah miss the next six tah eight weeks?
The doctor nods in acknowledgement.
Wyatt: Shit!

Wyatt is walking backstage at the Aquarius Casino and Resort before this week’s episode of Climax Control. He watches the people that nobody sees, the ones who really run the show, rushing around to ensure that everything is ready. Wyatt gets lost in his own thoughts.
Wyatt: The last two months’ve been tough, but not as bad as the last couple o’ weeks. Ah was definitely surprised by Tom. He thinks he can break me down an’ make me quit, but it’s not goin’ tah happen. Ah can be hardcore. Ah can be a beast in the ring. Ah’ll just have tah start mah quest to the top again tonight. This time on mah own. Ah know that Tom will probably try somethin’, but ah’ll be ready. The Jackal won’t know what hit ‘im. But first, ah gotta take a leak.
Wyatt walks into the bathroom as the scene fades.
