The scene opens up with a close up of a man’s chest as he looks in a mirror, putting on a sky-blue dress shirt and begins to button it up all the way to the neck. He then brings a tie around his collar but takes it off not liking how it matches up with his shirt. He grabs another, tries it out, nope, next, nope, one more, nope, we hear him slam the tie against the wall.
Man: Damn it Jones, get it together man! This is your big chance! A breakout opportunity for you to become more than a backstage hand and move to the forefront of OCW staff. If you nail this one-on-one exclusive with the World Champion right before his big title defense against Outcast you can open up all kinds of doors for yourself! You can be the head correspondent for OCW! Come on!
He brings up another tie, seeming to like this one, begins to tie it over and over again until it is perfect. He then throws on a jacket on top of that as the scene fully opens up to reveal Jones inside of a restroom, though we can’t quite tell what kind of a restroom, he’s definitely not at his house or at a hotel, well since it’s Jones, a motel. He finally likes his look, grabs his bag and throws all the ties he was trying out inside before heading out of the restroom. As soon as he gets out, he is greeted by a voice we all know too well, that of Xavier Lux.
Xavier: You alright Jones? You were in there for quite a while, I almost called one of the nurses for you.
The scene reveals a hospital room where Xavier Lux is laying on the bed, his legs are covered by a blanket, but his chest is uncovered, revealing a removable plastic cast around his whole chest and mid-section. He has an ivy attached to his arm, but no other tubes or wires are attached to him. He is able to move his head but that is about it. Jones comes around the table and sits on a chair right next to Xavier.
Jones: Yeah sorry about that, must have been something I ate this morning.
Xavier: Did you just blow up my bathroom Jones?
Jones: Huh? What? No, I, *ahem* why don’t we get started?
Xavier: yeah, sure.
Jones nods nervously to the camera man who gives him the thumbs up offscreen.
Jones: Hello OCW fans, this is Edward Jones coming to you with a special report from the local hospital to the OCW stars! I am here with your World Heavyweight Champion Xavier Lux, a day after his vicious match against Brim who did quite a number on the champions back! Xavier, despite being able to walk out of the match under his own power, collapsed in the back and has now been hospitalized, unable to walk for the foreseeable future. The doctors are trying to avoid surgery, and thus have placed him in this special cast which prevents him from any sort of movement whatsoever. How are you feeling champ?
Xavier: Seriously? That’s your first question Mr. Interviewer extraordinaire?
Jones: Huh? What? Why yes, I mean no, I just thought the fans would want to know how-
Xavier: Clearly I’m in bad shape! Why don’t you tell them the real reason why you are here today?
Jones: Right of course, as most of you fans know we never got to see exactly what happened to our champ down in Costa, err, Nica… um, El Salvador! Yes, after he went into that abandoned town! We just know he was able to come out, alive if you will, and make it to House of Cards to successfully defend his title. But what did happen down there, did he find The Enigma? Did he get the answers he was looking for? Is Scorpion indeed, alive? Let us find out!
Xavier Lux begins to tell the tale as the scene fades to black.
