Rani Mahal Vs Madison Lochlan / Fenrik & Amon Make A Wager As Adrian Antagonizes Them

Revolution Week 1: Ahead of her title defense match against Talis Ivani, Madison faces off against Rani Mahal. Isabella wanted to be at ringside with Madison, but Madison refused this as if she wanted to use outside help, it’d be during the title match itself; not before. Isabella relents on this and Madison goes out alone. --- After the match concludes, Fenrik and Amon are backstage sitting at a table and chatting amongst themselves. They make a friendly wager between them on who wins their respective match the quickest. Fenrik warns that a similar wager was made between Payle and Valkyrie, but it did not end well for Valkyrie. Amon then supposes they’ll just have to make sure that what happened to Valkyrie does not happen to them. He also reminds Fenrik that they’re both facing decent fellows. Fenrik nods, but then stands up as Adrian, Mark, and Rubio approach them and Adrian greets them cheerfully. “Ah, you two look like you’re just enjoying yourselves, so please, don’t mind us. I’m just showing my guys around and getting them situated. You saw what they did to Elijah and Scotty, right? May not have been the most brutal of beatdowns, but it put people on notice.” Adrian says as Fenrik stands before him and Adrian smiles and holds his arms out. “And what might your problem be, big guy? Championship belt too tight? Not shiny enough? No worries, if Damon doesn’t beat you, one of my guys would be more than happy to take it off your hands.” Adrian says smiling and then looking at Amon. “Both titles in fact. Yeah, they’d look really good on them. As for me… I might strike while the iron is hot and challenge Jason for his WWE title. Might even recreate that touching moment he had with Scotty and Alex. It’ll be my memento to Jason Grey.” Adrian says laughing. Amon then gently pulls Fenrik back and pats his shoulder. “Ah, I see you are an ambitious man! I like it!” Amon says as he smiles. “But, amigo… You are just a big angry simpleton pounding his chest and saying you’ll do all of these things, but we all know this is just posturing. It’s all for show to impress the ones behind you, yes! You gotta make a strong impression, else these two might think they’ve shacked up with the wrong guy and look like a pair of pendejos!” Amon says, smirking. “I like your ambition, Adrian. But you are nothing more than an angry, bitter, asshole. You think beating down others makes you strong? No. It just makes you easy to despise. That’s all you’re doing.” Amon says as Adrian nods and smiles. “I don’t have to get angry anymore. I have people to do that for me.” Adrian says as Mark and Rubio step forward. Fenrik backs up Amon, but before anyone can fight, Elijah claps his hands and steps forward before getting in Adrian’s face. “Hi, Adrian.” Elijah says. “Let me ask you something. When you went on your journey of self discovery… Which part of it turned you into this?” Elijah asks as he gestures to Adrian. “Yeah, you got more muscle on you, you look the part of a big time player, you even sometimes sound like one. But you don’t beat people down because you want to look strong, you do it so people don’t think you’re weak. You and me… We were seen as nothing more than Keiji’s lackeys and then Scotty’s sidekicks. We both wanted out of those optics, so the changes we’d undergo were expected. But I see you and I see someone who’s got no real future. All I see is a man who wants to burn the world around him so he might be king of its ashes for a while. But that crown will be as empty as your kingdom.” Elijah says as he pokes Adrian’s chest. “Is that you? Is that the change you think that’s going to set you apart from the rest?” Elijah asks as Adrian looks down at Elijah’s finger and then smacks it away. “Tell me, for what reason should I argue against my own approach? You say I beat people down because I fear looking weak? I do it because I can. If someone thinks they can put me in my place, I beg them to try! But you two… You stand there and tell me I’m wrong, but really I’m just different. You two follow your codes for public approval, but really deep down you’re as selfish as me. The only difference between us is that I am honest in my intentions. People hate me because they wish they could let go like I have. The simple answer is often the truth. Maybe we will teach you three that lesson later this week.” Adrian says as he, Mark, and Rubio depart.
