The scene opens up with Justin Smith standing in Denver outside the Ball Arena to watch the Denver Nuggets play. He stops before going to ask for tickets to call his friend and former trainer Casey Williams.
Justin-Hey Casey, looks like Connor Murphy is returning to SCW, and I’m his first opponent. What do you think my chances are?
Casey-I’m personally looking forward to it even if I think you may fall short.
Justin-Why?
Casey-You have not been the powerhouse I’ve been expecting.
Justin-I hope so, but could use extra ring work.
Casey-I’ll send Dying Breed and Hitamashii to train with you.
Justin waves off the cameraman, asking him to leave so Justin can continue his conversation as the scene fades to black.
The next day, Justin is seen at his hotel room, getting ready to go to the gym to get a workout in, but turns to call out his opponent Connor Murphy.
Justin-Connor, first off, welcome back to SCW but know this; just because you haven’t been here in ring in 4 years doesn’t mean I’m gonna take it easy on you. I will inflict pain onto you unlike any pain you’ve felt before. There is nothing you can say that I haven’t heard before and I don’t care if you do find something new because I know I’m always going to be better than you. I will get over the hump of losing at your expense and then people will finally realize that I’m as good as I say I am.
The scene fades to black with Justin hums his theme song “Madness” as he leaves the hotel room to go to the gym.
