The scene opens up to an undisclosed location. Beno sits on a leather couch in the darkened room. He's dressed in simple street attire. A pair of faded jeans, a long sleeved white t-shirt. Beno begins to speak.
BENO: They said I was too old. That I lost my touch. That my time had come and gone. But I showed them all. Last week, I made an example of Steve Blackman. And last week, I silenced all of the critics. The ones that have been constantly putting me down and trying to drag my name through the mud. As hard as he tried, Blackman couldn't finish the job that he started. And allow me to make something perfectly clear to you Steve and everyone who witnessed it last week. That Beno Bomb after the match was nothing personal. Truth be told I was originally planning to drop Cena with that. But you let your guard down and presented the perfect opportunity. An opportunity to make a statement. The statement being that I am still a top dog here in Thy WWE no matter what anyone has to say about it.
This week on Raw, two completely different worlds are set to collide. You have Joey The Bastard and Triana representing the chaos that is the New Age. And you have Blade LaVigne representing the order that is Thy WWE. You may be saying "but Beno, you're a member of team Thy WWE too!"
In a sense, that may be true. I was chosen by Vince McMahon to compete against the New Age alongside other stars in Thy WWE. But by no means does that mean I represent them. I'm not here fighting for this company or any of these guys. I'm certainly not fighting for Blade LaVigne. If I can be real for a moment, the guy is a pompous ass. He says the same things over and over again like a broken record. Talks about how with hard work and determination, all of your dreams can come true. Truth of the matter is that isn't true. It takes more than praying, hoping and dreaming big. It may be hard to believe, but more than anything you need to actually have talent. Something that most people lack. LaVigne doesn't know the first thing about working to get what he wants. He became who he is today by his family legacy. The men that came before him and competed all over the world. He's here because of his name. That's it.
Yet he does have one thing correct. We do need to trust one another. Though trust isn't earned lightly around here. This company is full of snakes in the grass. They'll be friendly and team with you until they get what they ultimately desire. After that, you become expendable. You can ask Joseph about that one. He's use to riding coat tails until the right moment arises and then Bam! Stabs you in the back. But for now, I'll play nice with you Blade. But the moment that this is all said and done with, know this. You'll be nothing more than another target. Another over inflated ego that needs deflating.
I didn't ask for any of this. I couldn't give two shits about which side wins. Hell I wasn't even expecting to compete again. Yet I was dragged into this power struggle. I don't know a whole lot about Triana. What I do know is that she's ruthless. A trait that I admire. What I don't admire is the fact that she's nothing more than Josephs lap dog. In truth, she has taken on the role that he once played for me. She does as she's told. She's obedient like a good dog should be. Allow me to give you some advice though Joseph. The time will come when Triana stab you in the back and leaves you for the wolves.
I have a lot to say about you Joseph. Why wouldn't I after all of our history together? Yet everything that can be said has been said. You and I have some unfinished business to take care of. You have a lot to answer for. And that begins in the tag match. At some point, you and I will be in the ring together and I can promise you this. You're going to suffer and suffer badly. Those wounds you inflicted on me never healed. Now it's time that I get some retribution.
And don't you worry Blade. I have your back. But the question I want to know is, do you have mine?
