The scene opens backstage with Shawn Stevens in his own locker room. He is sitting on the couch relaxing. Just then Jason Lee enters the locker room. Stevens raises an eyebrow and sits up.
Shawn: You're back?
Jason: Yeah after eight months of rehab. I got a match tonight.
Shawn: Me too.
Jason: I saw. You got one of them Raiders of the Lost Ark or something.
Shawn: I thought they were just potheads.
Jason: Same difference. I got Ci and Cobra tonight.
Shawn: Pretty big match for a debut.
Jason: Re-debut....but yeah. Don't forget your brother made me his protege after you hit the bgi time and forgot about me.
Shawn: Hey I didn't forget, I just had tons on my plate. I checked up on you from time to time. What happened to Armstrong? Thought you were coming up with him as a team.
Jason: Just like you he f**king disappeared.
Shawn: If you're gonna be a prick you can leave. I don't need you disrupting my prematch warmup.
Jason: Warmup? You're sitting on your ass. I'm so glad you had no time for me after you won. Hell this new personality ever since aligning with Morrison has turned you into a world class jackass. That's part of the reason you lost your title. You lost your passion.
Stevens jumps up and gets in Lee's face.
Shawn: You don't tell me about passion. I am a world champion you're a nothing!
Lee laughs.
Shawn: What's so funny?
Jason: You just don't have a good track record of defending your championships outside the home promotion. I wouldn't be making any more enemies than you already have if I were you. What would UWL think if you lost the title once more by leaving the UWL ring to defend it? Especially against a nobody like Blake Ryder. Think about it. Who the hell was Cody Cross before he beat you? People don't know Ryder now.....but when he beats you.....well.....he'll be the next big star after Cross.
The wheels start to turn in Stevens' head as he realizes there's some truth to Lee's words.
Shawn: Well Mr. Know-It-All......can I count on you if his partner gets involved? Can the Great Lake Effect reform if called upon?
Jason: Absolutly.....
Stevens sighs.
Jason: ....NOT! You're on your own. I'm not f**king helping you do shit. You're not even part of POW anymore. You think you're too good for us when it was Maverick who actually proved that you weren't his equal. He's beaten you twice. UWL you may be a top dog but this is POW.....you're no better than I am right now. You're just a champion elsewhere.....but from the man who once held five championships at once....you sure look to be lacking a bit in the gold department.
Stevens looks over at the lone championship, his UWL World Championship.
Shawn: I'll have more....just wait. You won't ever have one.
Jason: Hey all I have to do is beat Ci tonight and that should launch me to Valor status rather quick. And then it's one more victory and I have a title. You just got beat by Reck last week and move to the back back back back of the line....
Lee grins once more knowing he is getting under Stevens skin.
Shawn: Who invited you here anyway? Get out of here.
Jason: You know....I will. I have an interview with Greg Kilgreen about my return.
Shawn: Hah. You know Rich Morrison is around here someplace. I'd watch your back lest you suffer the same fate as back in March.....
Lee raises an eyebrow now showing Stevens got under his skin, he then grins and Stevens gets a puzzled look on his face.
Jason: You go find your buddy Morrison and tell him to bring it. Tell anyone to come after me. You'll see what happens this time around. I'm back and I plan on making an impact.
Lee turns and leaves the room as Stevens glances over to his championship belt.
Shawn: I need to make a phone call.
Stevens picks up his phone and dials a number as the scene fades to black.
