: After walking out of the A-List locker room, Goodie notices Erin Gordon. He runs over excitedly. :
Goodie: MS. GORDON! A moment, please. Firstly, welcome back to OCW. Secondly, allow me to introduce myself. I am Goodie Reporterson, reporter extrordinare for The Weekly Earth. I'm investigating the recent attack on "Welfare Hustle" Guy Cashe. You didn't happen to see anything suspicious recently, have you?
: He holds his notepad and pen with anticipation. :
A blond brow quirks at the hurried approach of the reporter, that beginning of a smile vanishing when he calls her Ms. Gordon. Goodie's welcome is met with a faint nod before Erin takes another swig of her beer. To bother correcting him or not...
"...nope."
Nah, it's not worth it. Best to just answer the fella and hope he finds someone else to bother.

: Goodie looks like he wants to try his luck with another question, but a big commotion takes his attention away from Gordon. He says an apology and takes off towards the noise only to find Roxxie in a similar state that Guy Cashe was in earlier. She is laying in the remains of a broken table. Reporterson looks around and sees the cameraman, and quickly composes himself before reporting. :
Goodie: Hello once again OCW faithful. Goodie Reporterson here with another shocking development! It seems Monday Night Equality star Roxxie Gobbler is the latest victim of what is starting to become a string of back stage assaults! Who is committing these heinous acts? Will they be found out before someone else gets hurt? What is Mr. Poblano doing to ensure the safety of his employees? More on this as the story develops.

~Welsh looks around the backstage area. Workers are running around HITHER AND YON putting up Christmas decorations, getting the OCW Arena set up for the Christmas Party (WHICH IS THIS FRIDAY). Cap Slock approaches from behind~
Cap Slock: SIR
~Welsh jumps. He turns around, holding his chest~
Marcus Welsh: Geezus, Captain. Tap me on the shoulder next time.
Cap Slock: SORRY SIR I DID NOT MEAN TO GIVE YOU SUCH A STIR. THE GIANT CHRISTMAS TREE HAS ARRIVED.
Marcus Welsh: Tell them to put it up at ringside.
Cap Slock: YESSIR
~Cap Slock exits. Welsh pulls out his phone. He sends a text~
All OCW employees who have signed up for the Christmas Party. This is your reminder it's THIS Friday. Make sure you bring your White Elephant Gift. We will begin at 7pm central.
: Zybala feels his phone vibrating and looks at it. It's the text from Welsh. Zybala smiles as he pats his pocket. Apparently his gift is small enough to fit in a pocket? He types out a "I'll be there." then a few thumbs up emojis for the whole thread to see. He hits send and goes about his way. :
: We cut to Zybala walking backstage, eating a taco, because catering always has Taco Tuesday. He is happily eating his food when he comes across Outsider JAM G laying on the ground, unconscious! He drops his taco and rushes over to the masked wrestler. Zybala checks JAM G's pulse and tries to shake him awake to no avail.:
Zybala: MEDIC! I NEED A MEDIC!
: People rush over, including some medical personnel. :

~Veronica stands in front of her own personal monitor in the locker room that once belonged to the traitor with a mop. She is holding Chuck up in her arm so he can. They look at each other.~
Veronica: Chuck, go find the Knife Man. He's needed out there.
Chuck: I think they be better dead, but whatever you say Miss Strader.
~Vee puts Chuck down on the ground and he scurries out of the room in search of the Knife Man.~

Lord Allton wanders backstage with Tank and the Larossias in tow with Tank also eating a taco. Because the man is 500lbs, people. He's got to keep up that strength.
Allton: Bloody hell! Another one! Who is it this time?
Vincenzo: That masked guy.
Frankie: Jam G.
Allton: This is clearly Walt Disney somehow. I don't know how... maybe the cryo conspiracy really is true and he's come back to life for war. If that's the case....
Allton looks directly into the camera.
Allton: You wanna fight, Walt? We're right here. I've seen Family Guy. I know how you gave Minnie her big break!

: We cut backstage to see Mike Zybala and Knife Man attending to JAM G as bunch of people gathered around. The camera pushes through as Rumor Mill Steve comes running up with a microphone. :
Steve: Hello OCW fans! Steve from the Rumor Mill here to bring you another special report. Moments ago, another wrestler has been attacked by an unknown assailant. JAM G is the third person to be assaulted in these backstage beatdowns. No one knows who is to blame or why. One thing is for sure. The rest of the locker room is on high alert and looking towards management for answers. OCW owner Greggory Poblano has been surprisingly quiet while his employees are being picked off one by one. More on this as the story develops.
