A dimly lit studio room with a maroon walled background and blue spot lights turning certain portions of the wall purple sets the tone for what's to come. Coming into view is a shot of a metal stool which serves as the perch for Shane Douglas. Shane is sitting their with his wrists taped up in black sports tape and sporting his gold and black two toned long legged tights. He peers into the camera as his tanned skin slightly shimmers from the droplets of water that trickle off of various points of head. His short blond hair looks a little lighter due to the lighting as his slight pants become heard over the mic on the camera.
"Monday night.. January third.. I get to face a certain someone in one on one action."
The thoughts racing through his mind changes his breathing rhythms change to slightly elevated. The excitement levels begin to build up as Shane thinks about the upcoming Raw event.
"This will be my first match in over a year.. The stakes couldn't get any higher for myself as I face off with one Wade Barrett in a Royal Rumble Number Selection Match.. This match could determine my ultimate placement and strategy going into this upcoming event. For we all know that the Royal Rumble match itself isn't the kindest match to anyone who dares to enter it. This match makes and breaks the direction for the course of the calendar year for so many wrestlers in the locker room."
Douglas shakes his head for a moment left to right as some of the water flies off his head. He closes his eyes tight and takes a deep breath in before releasing it.
"I can see it.. I can feel it.. Like it's already here Wade Barrett! You see all I have to do is simply defeat you this coming Monday night on the return of Raw! I beat you and I get my chance to see which number I get to claim.. Which number will determine my fate on the road to the one championship I have been chasing since WrestleMania I! Back when The Undertaker defeated myself and Brian Pillman to become the World Heavyweight Champion! That big dead prick had to fight for it! Just like this Monday night and going forward, I have to fight with everything I have.. With everything I am.. In order to prove not just to these people, not just to the management, but to myself that I can capture the vacant WWE Franchise World Heavyweight Championship! The only championship that matters in this very company.. The one reason why I am here!"
He opens his eyes and points into the camera with his right hand. The tone in his voice is still elevated from the moment before.
"Being a World Heavyweight Champion is nothing new to The Franchise, you see if you trace my history and look back at my track record. There's plenty of them there in the trophy case but there's one I want to add.. There's one I have to have! But again for me to get there Barrett, I have to beat you.. Everything I want to do begins with you and then it's on to the Rumble!"
