~Various highlights are shown from the action last week on Shocker such as Steiner and Bagwell's loss to Team Kamikaze, Abyss's brutal match with Billy Kidman along with Raven's debut, Shane Helms's decisive victory over Tyson Kidd, and Shane Douglas's defeat of Ken Anderson. Video switches to what looked to be a reunion of the most storied faction in XPW's history as Shane Douglas and Shane Helms looked to be on the same page. The Triple Threat looked to be getting the wheels in motion while Shane Douglas thought he had the championship in hand. The planning, the plotting, and then the betrayal as the three way World Championship match took place between Billy Kidman, Shane Helms, and Shane Douglas. Kidman took advantage of the match early only to have Douglas and Helms beat him into submission long enough for Helms and Douglas to implode. The final result was shocking to say the least as Shane Helms took Shane Douglas down after all these years and took in his first World Championship. As the video package drew to an end, we come to see "The Franchise" sitting outside of the XPW Arena following the show. He's sitting on a bench with his bag on the ground. Douglas is dressed up in his dress clothes from earlier in the night, a silk gold shirt, black slacks, and matching shoes and belt. Gold necklace dangles from his neck as he holds his hands over his face and looks to be breathing quite hard in frustration. Then he looks up to see the camera before him.~
"This wasn't the way it was supposed to go.. I knew he couldn't be trusted however for the first time in a long time I got suckered in.. I got played instead of the other way around much like the saying goes.. What comes around goes around.. Gregory Helms, you got me. You pulled one over me and you ran with the ball for once after all these years. I taught you well and you grew a set of balls and took me for a fool. Well you can bet that the next time, it won't happen again. I'll as much as I can't stand it give you credit where credit is due. A little word to the wise however, Helms you need to enjoy that World Heavyweight Championship. The first time is always the sweetest, it's the most cherished moment in a person's career in this sport. Take that championship and make the most of it because once I get a chance to challenge you for that title I'll show that each time you gain it back is why that belt is a drug that you can get addicted to and drive you mad. I've been there time and time again whether it's a World Championship, Television Championship, or a United States Championship."
~Douglas looks away from the camera as there is distain in his eyes and written all over his face as the thought of the XPW World Championship is still running through his mind while he continues.~
"So where do I go from here? Back down to the bottom? Start over? No problem, it's not like it's the first time I've had to build myself back up so I have to start somewhere right? Well let me tell you something for a change. Since Eric Bischoff and Shane Helms obviously didn't want their main attraction to be the man, I'll do something heinous.. Vial.. Despicable.. Last week we saw the debut of a man whom I've known for a very long time. This man and I have traveled the territories, we've been to WCW, ECW, WWF, TNA, and now here in XPW. This man is just as capable as myself in playing games and dissecting his opponents. This man is simply known as Raven. Now you did do something unpredictable when you took out Stevie Richards, Billy Kidman, and Abyss. I have to give you a thumbs up but now you get a chance to showcase your skills. You get the same chance I gave Shane Helms.. Raven, you and I have never and probably never will get along. So I'll enjoy getting the opportunity to beat the living daylights out of you. So next week, it's been decided.. Handed down.. And executed. You and I will do battle."
~Shane gets up from his seat and grabs his bag. He begins to walk towards the only car in the parking lot, his red Ford Focus. He reaches into his right front pocket and digs for the car keys.~
"When you get up in the morning Raven, do you look yourself in the mirror or do you say in your mind that you're going to destroy another pitiful mind? I for one do look myself in the mirror like a man and admit when I'm wrong. I'll admit I need to step up my game in order to get back to where I belong and that's at the top of Xtreme Professional Wrestling. I have to be the World Heavyweight Champion. I have to be the top guy because I have always been XPW's constant force. All else fails, call The Franchise.. Eric Bischoff needs a dollar sign fix, call The Franchise.. Bottom line!"
~He gets his keys out and located the car key. He reaches the car and unlocks the driver side door. After opening the door and pushes the lock button to unlock the doors. He reaches for the back driver side door and opens it up. He tosses the bag into the back seat and slams the door closed. He then turns back to the camera.~
"You better do some training.. Thinking.. Or whatever it is you do to prepare yourself, because next week.. You're going to see Scott Levy's XPW debut come to a screeching halt when I make a statement at his expense. If you don't like, get the f**k over it because someone is going to get their ass Franchised!"
~Douglas gets into his car, closes the door, and buckles his seat belt. He backs up the car and pulls out of the parking lot as the camera fades to a preview of next week's XPW event.~
