Trent? was folded his arms as he looked over at Michael Cole. Cole wore a black suit, his glasses rested over the bridge of his nose as he looked back at Trent?. Our hero wore a Red Iron Man T-shirt and a cap tilted backwards… His money in the bank briefcase dangling from his left hand as he looked at Michael Cole skeptically.
Michael Cole: Well Trent?, this is how usually works: You get a match and we the announce team gather your thoughts… You know, we are the nexus between you and the EBWF universe.
Trent?: Sheesh! The Nexus sure lowered it's standards if they gave you a spot.
Michael Cole: Not that nexus…
Trent?: I told you a million times… Why can't you just rerun a past interview? Television does it all the time and no one seems to notice! I have lost count of the times I have talked about The Shield, Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan… People never notice when The Simpsons do reruns of their shows!
Michael Cole: As you know, we take pride in being not only a live show, but also an innovative one…
Trent?: Aha! I thought you'd say something like that… That was why I decided this interview should be different…
An engine roared in the background, suddenly cutting Trent? off.
Michael Cole: What's that?
Trent?: What do you mean "What's that?" The airplane's engine…
Michael Cole: AIRPLANE?!?!!!
Trent?: Yeah, did you forget we were in an airplane? You're hilarious!
Trent? patted Cole vigorously on the back. Both men adjusted their parachutes over their shoulders.
Trent?: I knew you would say EBWF takes pride on being innovative, what can be more innovative than a skydiving interview? I mean… I've talked about these dudes so many times we had to add something else… Right? Plus, you didn't want to edit older interviews and piece them together, even though it is plain simple.
The scene shifted to Michael Cole, although he was wearing a completely different attire, as he mouthed out syllabes, the background and outfit he wore changed.
Michael Cole: I
Michael Cole: Like
Michael Cole: To
Michael Cole: Eat.
Michael Cole: Pee.
The scene shifted back to Trent?
Trent?: Damn, that's filthy. Anyways… On to the utter repetitive task of talking $¡-¡!T about my opponents, right?
Michael Cole seemed too concerned about the fact they were on board of an aircraft to reply.
Trent?: I think you should jump first… Ever parachuted before?
Michael shook his head vigorously.
Michael Cole: Why… Why don't you allow me to introduce to you first? You know, since we're going for innovative… How about I…Set the tone...
Trent?: Alright. Just do it before you smear your pants.
Michael Cole: La…Ladies and Gentlemen… I'm Michael Cole… Alongside me Mr. Money in the Bank and a member of Team Cena… Trent? Now, as you've told me before… You have had previous run ins with every single member… Why don't you begin by telling us what drove you to accept John Cena's proposal to join his team in the first place?
For the first time ever, the mediocre Michael Cole had asked a pertinent question. In order to answer it we have to travel back a couple of weeks, right after John Cena reached out for Trent? and asked him to be a part of his team. After agreeing, Trent? gazed at his reflection on the mirror one last time before turning the lights down… As he was making his way out of the locker room, he heard a voice from behind him, a familiar yet unexpected voice filled his ears.
"Well, THAT was something..."
Wasn't he alone? Hearing that voice so suddenly even if it was a familiar voice was rather unsettling.
Trent?: How long have you been here?
"Oh, just a little while now. How thoughtful that super, duper megastar John Cena inviting you to be on his team."
Trent?: You think so?
"...Eh. I guess Super Johnny knows you're a real sucker for righteousness. Eeeeverybody knows it."
Trent?: What do you mean? Just because he asked me to be on Team Cena?
"Team Cena? Hah. Team Tool sounds a little more fitting. Let me get this straight. You are sticking your neck out there so Cena can retain his title? What's in it for you? Vengeance on the Shield? Revenge on Cody Rhodes? A chance to knock Daniel Bryan around a little bit?"
There was some point to that statement.
"You know what you should be doing? Focusing on AJ Styles and Rnady Orton. NOT playing second fiddle to John Cena and his team best pals. Tick, tock, tick, tock. You're gonna have to cash in that briefcase that you've been lugging around soon. Are you even ready?"
That conversation flicked a switch inside our hero, increasing awareness, amongst other things. Trent? shook his head a little after recalling what happened a couple of weeks ago.
Trent?: Alright… Let me tell get something off my chest real quick, Cole. As you cleverly stated over and over again, I've gone back and forth with these dudes… I know each and every single one of their weak spots… And despite having lost against some of them in the past… My stock has never been higher in EBWF… The time when I get my rightfully deserved title reign will arrive, eventually. I know y'all have been on the edge of your seats, waiting for it. Let me ask you something, Cole. Why do you think John Cena chose me to be part of his team?
Michael Cole: Well, you have to admit you are an extremely fast comp…
Trent?: Right, I am fast… I am unpredictable… But when I try to be the Intercontinental Champion I am a freakin' nerd, a loser obsessed with videogames, right? Last year, The Miz was on the opposite team, now this year I am supposed to be all buddy-buddy with him, go figure. Let me ask you another thing: Do you think the members of Team Cena will value my assets and what I bring to the team? Do you see Syxx… An outlaw working shoulder to shoulder with the rest of us to defeat team Rhodes? I know my EBWF history, I know Syxx looks after just one person: Himself.
Michael Cole: Are you concerned about subsisting with other members of team Cena?
Trent?: Well, there is certainly no 'question mark' in 'Team'… But when you are tossed in with such a colorful and variant mixture of former/ future rivals to face a bunch of arch-enemies you know from way back, you start thinking… Will The Miz want to be the star of the show again? Even if it costs Team Cena the victory? Will Syxx walk out on us and reband the nWo?
Michael Cole: Certainly those are things that have happened in the past… But with the former Chairman Wes Ikeda on board as well, don't you think there could be a bit of balance?
Trent?: Wes Ikeda laced his boots up once more… I'm glad he gets a front row seat to watch me perform… It is kinda hard to shuffle if he refuses to acknowledge me or he has been to busy straightening his life up to notice me. Whatever the case may be… What I am going to do at Survivor Series will be tattooed in Ikeda's retina forever… He will even realize he might still be CEO had he given me the shot at greatness I deservel
Michael Cole: As you said before, you have had previous encounters with every single member of Team Rhodes…
Trent?: Shield, Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes… I've done enough talking, I'm tired of backstage assaults as well. When we meet up at Survivor Series I guarantee you'll be shocked in awe. You're going to experience something you have NEVER seen before! As a matter of fact, why not start now?
Without any furhter warning, Trent? opened the aircraft's door and kicked Michael C.
Trent?: Jeronimooooo… Now that is something Justin Gabriel would LOVE to do.
The scene faded to black.
