Set in the 1980s during the death of the old wrestling territories. A mysterious promoter known only as “The Voice” is killing off old federations—literally. A band of forgotten wrestlers must defend their legacy while solving the mystery of who’s behind the bloodshed.
The rain hit like broken glass—sharp, cold, and relentless. Jack Kaido stood under the busted awning of the old Dominion Wrestling Circuit arena, boots ankle-deep in a gutter that hadn’t drained right since the Clinton administration. Neon buzzed above him, half-lit, spelling out “TONIGHT ONLY – DWC LEGENDS RETURN” in jagged flashes of pink and blue that reflected off cracked pavement and faded dreams. He didn’t come for the pop. He didn’t come for the payday. Jack came because somebody had the gall to print his brother’s name on the rundown—The Avalanche—as if that name didn’t belong six feet under and fifteen years gone.
Jack reached into his coat and pulled out a cigarette, lighting it with hands that still trembled—not from fear, but memory. The lighter flickered to life, casting a momentary flame over the craggy lines of his face. He took one long drag and exhaled slow, letting the smoke crawl out of his lungs like a confession.
“They think this is nostalgia...”
he muttered to himself, eyeing a damp poster peeling off the alley wall. His own younger face stared back at him from the paper, locked in a championship pose beside his brother, arms raised in victory. The ink had run from the rain, but the faces remained clear—mocking him with what used to be.
“...But I know a setup when I see one.”
He looked down at the duffel bag by his feet. Inside wasn’t just his gear. No flashy trunks or polished boots. No gimmick. Just a cracked leather mask, a pair of taped fists, and the belt they tried to erase from history. Jack Kaido never cared for kayfabe—he didn’t cut promos; he made people bleed. But tonight, he'd bleed too if it meant getting answers.
His brother died in this same city. Not in a hospital, not in some bar fight. He died on that canvas. Under those lights. The official report said heart failure. But Jack remembered the way Avalanche’s body jerked on the mat, the way the house lights conveniently cut out right before, and how the promoter refused to release the tape. No autopsy. No replay. No justice. Just silence and a payoff. They buried him fast, paid off his widow faster.
“This territory killed him. And now someone’s using his name to sell tickets?”
He turned and started walking toward the side entrance, the cigarette now burned down to the filter. The door had long since rusted off one hinge, swinging wide with a groan like the building itself was mourning. Inside, the stench of old beer, sweat, and dust welcomed him home. The arena had been condemned twice and reopened three times under different ownership. Tonight it hosted a nostalgia card—but something darker was lurking behind the booking.
As he stepped inside, Kaido’s ears caught a rustle behind him. Instinct kicked in. He turned on a dime—just in time to catch a chair swinging at his head. He grabbed it mid-air and drove a knee into the gut of the masked attacker. One fluid motion. Muscle memory. He dropped the man with a quick DDT onto the concrete floor. No hesitation.
The man groaned, reaching for a crowbar at his hip. Kaido planted a boot on the man’s wrist, pinning it down. He knelt beside him and pulled a patch from the inside of the guy’s coat—stitched in blood-red letters:
“CCW – Crucifix Championship Wrestling.”
Jack stared at the patch for a long moment, lips curling into a smirk that didn’t reach his eyes.
“Wasn’t expecting the welcome committee so soon,”
he said coldly.
“Tell your boss the Crimson Fist is back. And this time, I’m not here for the title—I’m here for the truth.”
The man didn’t respond. He was already out cold.
Kaido stood slowly, rain dripping off his shoulders as he stepped back out into the night. He tucked the CCW patch into his coat pocket like a calling card. The city hadn’t changed. Still the same busted streets. Still the same silent promoters. Still the same rot under the canvas. But Jack Kaido wasn’t the same man they threw out a decade ago.
He came back for one reason.
And he wouldn’t leave until somebody paid for what happened in that ring.
MIDNIGHT TERRITORY
Ep. 1 One: The Suplex Conspiracy
Exec. Producer: Richard Osiris
The Stanton Network presents....
Midnight Territory
------------------------
Scene 1
Rain pounded the alley behind the Dominion Arena like fists on a coffin. Jack Kaido dragged a limp, masked man across the cracked pavement and leaned him against a rusted soda machine. Neon above hissed and flickered:
TONIGHT ONLY – DWC LEGENDS RETURN.
An old janitor passed by pushing a mop bucket. He glanced at the unconscious man, then kept mopping. No one asked questions in Harbor Noir.
/---------------------/
Scene 2
Kaido moved through the dim corridor. The overhead fluorescents buzzed like hornets. A laminated run-sheet flapped loose on the corkboard.
BATTLE ROYAL (LEGENDS ONLY)
TAG TEAM SHOWCASE
SPECIAL ATTRACTION: CRIMSON FIST vs. T.B.A.
Kaido ripped the sheet down and crumpled it.
/---------------------/
Scene 3
From a side hallway, Doc Laurel stepped out. Thinner, older, same steel in his eyes.
Doc Laurel: Didn’t expect to see you again. Thought the past buried you too.
Kaido: Still got one ghost left.
Laurel reached into his coat and handed Kaido a cassette.
Doc Laurel: I never turned it in. Been sitting on it all these years.
Kaido looked down at the label: DWC0410 – Avalanche Final. He slid it into his coat pocket.
Kaido: You just made yourself a target.
/---------------------/
Scene 4
The arena floor buzzed with tension. Ropes were tightened, turnbuckles tested. Above the ramp, a new banner unfurled:
THE AVALANCHE RETURNS!
Kaido stopped. His brother’s face stared down, frozen in time.
A voice slid in from the shadows.
Father Vex: Beautiful, isn’t it? The smile of a man immortalized.
Kaido turned. Father Vex stood tall, draped in crimson-trimmed black, equal parts clergy and killer.
Kaido: You booked this?
Father Vex: I accepted the invitation. You came looking for blood, didn’t you?
Kaido: I came looking for answers. And I don’t mind getting bloody to get ‘em.
Father Vex: Then welcome back to the altar.
/---------------------/
Scene 5
In the ring, Rico Chavez held the mic.
Rico Chavez: Ladies and gentlemen—your Special Attraction of the evening… The Crimson Fist, Jack Kaido!
And his opponent… Neon Saint!
Neon Saint emerged to scattered cheers. Young. Nervous. Wrapped in glow tape and hope.
The bell rang.
Kaido struck fast. Brutal shots. A knee to the gut. A spinebuster that rattled the mat. Neon Saint collapsed.
Kaido locked in the Crimson Vice. Neon tapped furiously.
But the referee froze. A CCW patch on his sleeve.
Kaido: Count it. Or I’ll make you tap next.
Finally, the bell rang.
/---------------------/
Scene 6
The lights died.
The screens lit up with grainy footage—Avalanche, clutching his chest, collapsing in the ring.
Static.
Then: a black screen.
PROPERTY OF CCW
A distorted voice came through the arena speakers.
Voice (V.O.): If you want the uncut truth… descend.
In the center of the ring, a panel slid open. A ladder extended down into the darkness.
/---------------------/
Scene 7
Kaido descended into the bowels of the arena. Pipes hissed. The walls sweated moisture and secrets.
At the far end: a cage.
Inside: Avalanche’s torn robe, a cracked replica of Kaido’s mask, and a flyer.
TRINITY CAGE – Avalanche vs. Crimson Fist vs. Father Vex
Footsteps echoed behind him.
Neon Saint stepped forward, unmasked, bruised.
Neon Saint: They told me to take the fall. Said if I didn’t, I’d end up like your brother.
Kaido handed him the duffel.
Kaido: Take the tape to Doc. Then vanish.
Neon Saint: Got it.
He turned and ran.
/---------------------/
Scene 8
A slow clap echoed through the corridor.
Father Vex emerged, flanked by two CCW enforcers with tire irons in hand.
Father Vex: Every resurrection needs a crucifixion.
Kaido rolled his shoulders. His fists clenched.
Kaido: Then line me up.
The enforcers stepped forward.
Kaido didn’t back down.

And now, "Midnight Territory"

**************
Scene 1
The tire iron cracked across Kaido’s ribs.
He didn’t drop.
The first enforcer went down from a palm strike to the throat. The second rushed in swinging wild. Kaido ducked, twisted, and slammed him spine-first into a steel locker. Concrete shook. The smell of oil and blood thickened the air.
Father Vex stood at the edge of the fight, arms folded, mouth curled into a smirk.
Father Vex: Redemption’s never free, Jack. And yours is long overdue.
Kaido: Save the sermon. You’re next.
Vex didn’t flinch. He just watched as Kaido stood surrounded by the wreckage of men who thought muscle outweighed memory.
/---------------------/
Scene 2
Both enforcers lay groaning on the floor.
Kaido wiped blood from his mouth and cracked his neck.
The corridor lights flashed red. A siren began to wail, harsh and metallic.
Voice (V.O.): Unauthorized presence in Sub-Level 3. Security en route. Repeat: Security en route.
Father Vex: This place belongs to us now. You’re trespassing in the new world order.
Kaido: Then I’ll burn it down, chapel first.
Vex offered a mocking bow, then slipped through a side door and locked it behind him.
Kaido turned toward the cage—toward the mask that mocked him. For a moment, all he heard was his brother’s voice, laughing from years ago… and then the silence that followed.
Kaido: They buried the man. But they kept the myth.
He stared at the cracked mask in the cage, his own reflection distorted in its surface.
Kaido: Not anymore.
/---------------------/
Scene 3
Upstairs, the arena shook with confusion.
Security forced fans back from the barricades. On the overhead screens, Avalanche’s collapse played again—but this time, the footage looked different. Framed tighter. Slowed. Sanitized.
Doc Laurel stood alone near the med bay monitor, gripping the cassette like a lifeline.
Doc Laurel: They’re rewriting the whole damn match. Like we didn’t see it. Like it didn’t happen.
Neon Saint appeared, shoulders heaving, eyes wide.
Neon Saint: He’s still down there. They rigged it. Vex set the whole thing up.
Doc Laurel: Then let’s set something back. You got gear?
Neon Saint nodded.
Doc Laurel: Good. You’re not just a rookie anymore.
Neon Saint: What if I’m not ready?
Doc Laurel: No one ever is. Not in this place. You fight anyway.
/---------------------/
Scene 4
Kaido burst into the boiler room—a heat-soaked command center built beneath the bones of the arena.
Surveillance monitors showed every inch of the building. In one, he saw Laurel and Saint talking. In another, the ring. The crowd.
And then, dead center:
TONIGHT ONLY – CRIMSON FIST vs. THE AVALANCHE
Kaido: No. No, you didn’t.
A screen flickered to life. Father Vex appeared again, calm as a vulture.
Father Vex: The body breaks. The man fades. But the myth, Jack… the myth can be rebuilt.
Kaido: That’s not a myth. That’s desecration.
Father Vex: No. That’s legacy. And you’re just a chapter we skipped.
Kaido: Then I’m here to rewrite it.
He reached forward and smashed the nearest monitor with his elbow.
Glass sprayed the console.
Kaido: No more shadows. You want a match?
You get the last fight of your life.
/---------------------/
Scene 5
Back in the arena, Rico Chavez’s voice shook as he held the new cue card.
Rico Chavez: Ladies and gentlemen… the new main event… Crimson Fist versus… The Avalanche.
The audience froze. Then the sound rolled over them like thunder—shock, disbelief, scattered cheers.
Kaido stood backstage, fists clenched at his sides. He could hear the fans. Hear the heartbeat of the building.
The curtain split.
And across the arena… a shadow stepped onto the ramp.
Same build. Same walk. Same mask.
But the way he moved—slower, heavier—like a puppet with strings only Vex could see.
Behind the eyes, there was nothing.
No fire. No recognition.
Only programming.
Only vengeance.
Kaido stared into the face of what used to be his brother.
Kaido: Let’s see if the dead can still feel pain.

Midnight Territory
==========
Scene 1
The crowd roared—then fell eerily quiet.
Spotlights cut across the Dominion Arena like searchlights. On opposite sides of the stage, two shadows stood frozen.
Jack Kaido. Breathing hard. Covered in bruises.
The Avalanche. Masked. Still. Monolithic.
Kaido: Let’s finish what they started.
The Avalanche didn’t respond. He just walked—slow, methodical—toward the ring, boots echoing like thunder across the canvas.
Rico Chavez: Ladies and gentlemen… the following contest is your main event of the evening! Scheduled for one fall… in the shadow of legend!
The bell rang.
/---------------------/
Scene 2
They locked up center ring. Collar and elbow.
The Avalanche pushed Kaido back with monstrous force. Kaido staggered but rolled through, coming up with a low kick to the knee. No reaction. He hit another. Still nothing.
Kaido: So it’s true. You’re not him anymore.
The Avalanche replied with a palm strike that sent Kaido into the turnbuckle.
The audience buzzed, unsure whether they were watching a match… or an execution.
Kaido hit the ropes, ducked a lariat, landed a forearm to the jaw. The Avalanche took a step back—but just one.
Kaido: I don’t care what they put in your head. I remember the man behind the mask. The one who had my back when the lights went out in Raleigh. The one who stood with me at the funeral, not inside it.
The Avalanche responded with a headbutt that dropped Kaido to a knee.
/---------------------/
Scene 3
Backstage, Doc Laurel and Neon Saint watched from a monitor, tension thick in the air.
Doc Laurel: This isn’t a match. It’s a resurrection gone wrong.
Neon Saint: Can he win?
Doc Laurel: Depends on who’s in that ring with him. His brother… or whatever they made.
Onscreen, Kaido hit a snap DDT. The Avalanche rolled out of it like a machine, unfazed. He stood, tilted his head—curious.
Father Vex stood near the timekeeper’s table, hands folded like he was attending a funeral.
Father Vex: Come on, Avalanche. Show him what we taught you in the dark.
/---------------------/
Scene 4
Kaido crawled to the corner, chest heaving.
The Avalanche approached slowly.
Kaido: You remember this corner? Ten years ago. Tag finals. You couldn’t breathe, and I took the heat. I let them beat me down so you could recover.
Kaido stood, blood dripping from his forehead.
Kaido: You owe me one.
He slapped The Avalanche across the face.
The audience gasped.
The Avalanche froze. He stepped back. His hands trembled—just a little.
Kaido: Come on, brother. Wake up.
Suddenly, The Avalanche doubled Kaido over with a knee to the ribs, then lifted him into a powerbomb position.
But he hesitated.
The crowd rose to their feet.
/---------------------/
Scene 5
Kaido looked up from his knees, eyes locking with the man behind the mask.
Kaido: You’re still in there. I know you are. They used your body, but they didn’t kill your soul.
The Avalanche dropped him.
The arena fell into stunned silence.
Father Vex screamed from ringside.
Father Vex: Finish him! That’s an order!
The Avalanche turned toward Vex.
Kaido: That’s it. You remember. You know who made you… and who tried to erase you.
Father Vex reached into his coat.
From his pocket—something glinted.
Kaido lunged forward and knocked Vex down with a diving forearm before the object could leave his hand.
The Avalanche dropped to one knee, holding his head.
Kaido stood between him and the chaos.
Kaido: You’re not their weapon anymore. You’re my brother.
/---------------------/
Scene 6
Security flooded ringside. CCW enforcers surrounded the ring. The crowd chanted:
Crowd: Let them fight! Let them fight!
Doc Laurel ran to ringside with Neon Saint.
Doc Laurel: Jack! The tape! It’s in play!
Kaido: Then let them watch.
The Avalanche stood at Kaido’s side.
Two brothers. Same war. Same ring.
CCW’s wall of enforcers hesitated.
And then…
The lights cut.
Everything went black.
A single spotlight remained—center ring.
Kaido and Avalanche stood shoulder to shoulder.
Kaido: Round two starts now.

================
Scene 1
Darkness hung over the Dominion Arena like a curtain waiting to be torn down.
One spotlight.
Two men.
Jack Kaido and The Avalanche stood center ring, breathing heavy, shoulders squared.
Kaido: You with me?
The Avalanche didn’t answer. He just nodded—slow, deliberate.
Outside the ropes, CCW security formed a half-circle. Tire irons. Batons. Reinforced gloves.
Then came the voice.
Father Vex: This isn’t your moment, Jack. This isn’t redemption. It’s rebellion.
Kaido: Then call it what it is. I’ve been waiting to burn this place down for fifteen years.
/---------------------/
Scene 2
Backstage, Doc Laurel pressed the master fuse reset on the circuit board. Neon Saint stood at his side, holding a headset, sweating bullets.
Neon Saint: You sure this won’t kill power to the whole building?
Doc Laurel: We’re not here to protect the building. We’re here to protect the story.
He slid the tape into the master AV reel system. The label read: DWC0410 – Avalanche Final.
Doc Laurel: Let them see what really happened.
He pressed play.
/---------------------/
Scene 3
Every screen in the arena flickered.
The crowd’s roar died into whispers.
The old footage rolled—grainy, raw, uncut.
Avalanche on the mat, convulsing. The lights cutting out mid-match. CCW officials scrambling. Father Vex stepping into frame, whispering something to the ref. A camera pulled back far enough to show a syringe being kicked under the apron.
Gasps. Shouts. Some fans wept.
Kaido stood in the ring, fists shaking.
Kaido: You killed him once. You won’t do it again.
Father Vex slammed his fists into the apron.
Father Vex: They didn’t love the man! They loved the myth! I gave them what they wanted!
/---------------------/
Scene 4
The CCW security team stepped into the ring. One by one. Eight total.
Kaido and Avalanche stood back-to-back, motionless.
Kaido: You ready for this?
The Avalanche: We finish it together.
The first enforcer rushed. Avalanche grabbed him mid-sprint and launched him into the second. Kaido dove low, swept a third off his feet, then drove a boot into his ribs.
A chair flew into the ring—tossed by someone in the front row. The crowd was no longer spectators. They were co-conspirators.
The chant returned.
Crowd: LET. THEM. FIGHT.
/---------------------/
Scene 5
Father Vex reached into his coat—again.
But this time, Neon Saint was already there, leaping off the barricade, crashing into Vex with a crossbody. Both hit the ground hard.
Kaido noticed.
Kaido: The kid’s got timing.
The Avalanche: Better than your dropkick in Jersey.
Kaido: One time.
They laughed—just for a moment—before turning back to the chaos.
CCW security was retreating. Half-down. Half-unwilling.
The ring belonged to them now.
/---------------------/
Scene 6
Doc Laurel stepped onto the stage, mic in hand. He hadn’t held one in years.
Doc Laurel: You saw it. All of you. The truth. The match they buried. The man they erased.
He pointed toward the ring.
Doc Laurel: These two aren’t just legends. They’re the last honest men in this business.
A cheer rippled across the crowd—small at first. Then louder.
Chants of “Crim-son Fist!”
Followed by “A-valanche!”
Kaido stood in the corner, leaning against the ropes, heart racing.
Kaido: So what now?
The Avalanche: We take the fight to them.
Kaido: You sure you’re still him?
The Avalanche: I’m sure I never stopped being your brother.
TO BE CONTINUED
MIDNIGHT TERRITORY
Episode 6: “The Territory Burns”
Scene 1
The arena smelled like sweat, adrenaline, and panic.
Kaido leaned over the ropes, glaring down at Father Vex, who was sprawled on the floor after Neon Saint’s tackle.
Kaido: You wanted a spectacle, preacher. Here it is.
Vex wiped blood from his lip and smiled.
Father Vex: The crowd’s not yours yet, Jack. But they will be. They always belong to the man who writes the ending.
The Avalanche: Then maybe it’s time we take the pen.
/---------------------/
Scene 2
Backstage corridors rattled with hurried footsteps. CCW executives barked orders into radios. Security chiefs demanded more men at ringside.
Doc Laurel hustled down the hall with Neon Saint.
Doc Laurel: That tape’s public now. They can’t undo it.
Neon Saint: Yeah, but they can still bury us.
Doc Laurel: Let them try. We’ve got something they don’t.
They rounded the corner to see two CCW enforcers guarding a locked production room.
Neon Saint: Let me guess… that’s where the master archive is?
Doc Laurel: Bingo.
/---------------------/
Scene 3
In the ring, Kaido and Avalanche stood side-by-side, watching the crowd shift from shock to full-on rebellion. Fans slammed the barricades, chanting.
Kaido: You feel that?
The Avalanche: Feels like the tide’s turning.
Kaido: Feels like war.
CCW security tried to re-enter, but the fans blocked them, shoving back, throwing cups, chanting louder.
Kaido grabbed a mic from the timekeeper’s table.
Kaido: You’ve seen the truth. You’ve seen what they’ve done. Now you get to decide — do we keep letting CCW run this territory into the ground… or do we take it back tonight?
The building erupted.
/---------------------/
Scene 4
Back at the production room, Neon Saint took out one guard with a flying knee while Doc Laurel swung a steel chair into the other’s midsection.
They forced the door open. Rows of hard drives blinked like sleeping eyes.
Doc Laurel: There it is. Every dirty match, every payoff, every setup.
Neon Saint: You thinking what I’m thinking?
Doc Laurel: Oh, I’m way ahead of you.
They yanked drives from the racks and tossed them into a rolling case.
/---------------------/
Scene 5
In the arena, Father Vex climbed onto the apron with a steel chain in his hands.
Kaido: Not tonight.
Kaido lunged, but Avalanche intercepted Vex, grabbing the chain mid-swing and yanking it away. He threw it into the crowd, where it vanished into eager hands.
The Avalanche: This is our house now.
Father Vex: Then watch it burn.
Vex pointed toward the rafters.
Overhead, a bank of pyrotechnics meant for the night’s finale detonated early, showering sparks across the ring.
/---------------------/
Scene 6
The crowd scattered as the lights flickered violently. Flames licked at the corner post.
Kaido and Avalanche jumped out to the floor.
Kaido: Where’s the kid?
The Avalanche: Backstage, I think.
Doc Laurel and Neon Saint emerged from the tunnel, hauling the rolling case of hard drives.
Doc Laurel: Got the receipts!
Kaido: Then we move—now!
Security surged forward, but this time it wasn’t just Kaido and Avalanche fighting them. Dozens of fans jumped the rail, forming a wall around the four of them.
The chant thundered again.
Crowd: TAKE! IT! BACK!
TO BE CONTINUED
Episode 7: “The Blood Covenant”
Season Finale
Written by: Richard Osiris
⸻
Scene 1
The Dominion Arena was chaos incarnate. Smoke rolled over the crowd, banners half-burned, security pushed back by fans who refused to leave.
In the ring, Kaido and Avalanche stood nose-to-mask, a lifetime of brotherhood clashing with a present built on manipulation.
Kaido: You’re still my brother. You’re not their weapon.
Avalanche: I don’t know what I am anymore.
From the announce table, Father Vex raised his arms like a preacher at the pulpit.
Father Vex: Then let the covenant decide. Crimson Fist versus Avalanche. One fall to seal the blood debt. No disqualification. No escape. Only one truth.
The crowd erupted. Half chanting “KAIDO!” Half chanting “AVALANCHE!”
⸻
Scene 2
The bell rang. Not an official match—but the sound still cut like a gunshot.
Kaido charged. Avalanche met him head-on. Fists, elbows, forearms—the sound of family breaking apart.
Kaido slammed Avalanche into the corner. Avalanche lifted Kaido with brute force and hurled him across the ring. The mat rattled, lights above flickering like lightning.
Kaido pulled himself up, coughing blood.
Kaido: If you kill me, you kill yourself too.
Avalanche froze. Trembling.
Father Vex: Finish him! You are mine!
Avalanche: I was never yours.
⸻
Scene 3
Backstage, Doc Laurel and Neon Saint sprinted through the halls with the rolling case of hard drives. CCW guards closed in.
Neon Saint: We can’t outrun them!
Doc Laurel: We don’t need to. We just need to upload this one file.
He shoved a single drive into Neon Saint’s hands.
Doc Laurel: Get it out. Show the world.
Neon Saint: What about you?
Doc Laurel picked up a lead pipe from the floor, eyes hard.
Doc Laurel: I’ve been patching up wrestlers my whole life. Tonight, I fight for one.
He turned back toward the oncoming guards.
⸻
Scene 4
In the ring, Kaido and Avalanche traded finishing moves. Kaido hit the Crimson Vice. Avalanche powered out and planted him with a brutal spinebuster. Both men lay gasping, the crowd in a frenzy.
Kaido rolled over, crawling toward his brother.
Kaido: Fifteen years ago, they stole you from me. Not tonight.
Avalanche clutched his head, torn between voices.
Father Vex: You are the covenant! Strike him down!
Avalanche lifted Kaido again, muscles trembling. But instead of dropping him, he spun—hurling Father Vex into the ring.
The crowd erupted.
Kaido: Guess you do remember.
Avalanche: Always.
Together, the brothers loomed over Vex.
⸻
Scene 5
Vex laughed, even as Kaido raised his fist.
Father Vex: You fools. I never needed him to kill you. I only needed him to bring you back.
The arena screens flickered. A new image filled the monitors—grainy, glitching footage of another wrestler. Masked. Massive. A silhouette larger than Avalanche himself.
Text appeared:
NEXT SEASON — THE BLACK SANCTUM RISES
The crowd screamed.
Kaido and Avalanche froze, fists still raised.
Father Vex grinned through bloodied teeth.
Father Vex: The covenant wasn’t the end. It was the beginning.
The lights cut to black.
