{The camera fades into a scene of a very intimidating Mr. McMahon sitting at his desk in his office, speaking to someone of the other side of the desk.}
**Mr. McMahon**: “Well, yes… it IS true. The winner of the Battle Royal at Saturday Night Turmoil WILL be given a World Heavyweight Championship match at one of our up-coming Pay-Per-Views. And the men that do not show up on Saturday will be FIRED ON THE SPOT! Any other questions?”
{The camera pans around to the man on the other side of the desk. It’s a man wearing an Orange buttoned up dress shirt, a pair of faded Blue denim jeans, and a beaded rope necklace. The man is none other than AJ STYLES!}
**AJ Styles**: “No, Mr. McMahon. I think I have all the information I’m going to need. Thank you, sir.”
{The Camera pans back to Mr. McMahon, only this time he seems more calm and pleasant.}
**Mr. McMahon**: “Not a problem, AJ. Let me say once again, it’s great to have you here on the NHBWO roster. Now, if you have anymore questions, just let me know. But you come on MY free time. If you in ANY way interrupt something I’m doing in this office… I’ll make your time here in the NHBWO a living HELL!”
{A frightened, but still brave AJ gets up out of the leather seat he was sitting in. AJ then shakes Mr. McMahon’s hand.}
**AJ Styles**: “You won’t have any problems with me sir, I promise you that. And sir… you’re looking at the NEXT NHBWO World Heavyweight Champion. And in all honesty, you can bank on that!”
{AJ then walks towards the door, places his right hand on the doorknob. He then turns the knob clockwise, as the door pops open. AJ swings the door open, and steps out into the hallways of the infamous, Madison Squared Garden. With the left hand he takes a pair of Black sunglasses out of his left front pocket, and slides them on. AJ continues to walk the hallways, until he’s cut off by Shane Douglas with a microphone in his left hand. Douglas lifts the microphone up to his lips and begins to speak.}
**Shane Douglas**: “AJ, last week you came out to the ring for the first time here in the NHBWO, and made some very quick, but straight forwards comments. Now, you say you know how to make an impact. This Saturday night, at Turmoil, you’re going to be in a 19 man over the top Battle Royal. And we just found out along with you, that the winner of this Battle Royal will be given a NHBWO World Heavyweight Championship match in a future Pay-Per-View event. What are you’re thoughts on this match?”
{Shane Douglas removes the microphone from his mouth, and holds it in front of AJ Styles. AJ then begins to speak.}
**AJ Styles**: “My thoughts? Well, I did say last week that I was coming into the NHBWO for a few reasons. One which was to make exactly what I said I do… make an impact. Which if you ask me, I’ve done a pretty damn good job thus far. Secondly, I plan on becoming the NEXT NHBWO World Heavyweight Champion. Now, I said that nothing will prevent me from achieving my goals, and I stand by that statement. Seems to me that this Saturday, there are 18 men standing in my path to becoming the NHBWO World Heavyweight Champion. But to be honest, I am STILL determined to walk out of this Battle Royal the winner. It’s as simple as that, Douglas.”
{Shane Douglas takes the microphone back, and continues his interview.}
**Shane Douglas**: “Strong words, AJ, strong words. But when you look at some of the names in the Battle Royal, they aren’t nobodies. Chris Masters, Jeff Hardy, Jay Lethal, STING, the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan. Do you think you can survive each and every one of these men this Saturday night?”
{AJ then takes the microphone away from Douglas, and begins to get angry at the fact that Douglas would even DOUBT him in the Battle Royal. AJ continues to speak.}
**AJ Styles**: “Do I think I can survive these men!? No real offense to any of the other 18 men in this Battle Royal, but I think it’s a pretty safe bet to say that I’m walking out this Saturday night, the number one contender for that World Heavyweight Championship around Ryan Beyer’s waist. You mention Chris Masters. How long did he hold the World title for? A week… tops? Really, the man needs to stay where he’s good at what he does, a muscleman competition. Not in a wrestling ring. And Jeff Hardy. A very good friend of mine, but as of late, it doesn’t seem like his mind is in the game 100 percent. Damn it if I don’t respect him, though. Now, as for Jay Lethal. I and he had our times in TNA, but this is the NHBWO. Lethal says how he wants a match with me, he wants to go one on one with AJ Styles. Well Lethal, here’s your chance. Prove yourself worthy of going one on one with me this Saturday. We’ll see EXACTLY what you’re made of. Sting, the “Stinger”. Sting has been in the business for MANY, many years, but Stinger, lets face it… it’s time that you step down and pass the torch. We’ll truly see if you’ve still got it this Saturday. And last, but certainly not least, Hulk Hogan. The “Icon”, the “Legend”, the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan. Every single one of those words describes Hogan to a tee. But just like Sting, Hogan, it’s time to hang up those boots. You’ve done it all, Hogan. There’s nothing else for you to prove in you’re career. You’ve beaten the best of the best. Triple H, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Sgt. Slaughter, Andre the Giant. You’ve beaten them all…..”
{AJ takes the microphone away from his mouth for a moment, looks down, and gives a deep breath. AJ looks back up, but this time with a more aggressive look on his face. He puts the microphone back up to hi mouth, and continues.}
**AJ Styles**: “But Hogan… you’ve never beaten….. me! We’ll just see how “Immortal” you are in the ring this Saturday night, when you go toe to toe with me. When you go one on one with the “Phenomenal” one, A…. J…. STYLES!”
{An angry, aggressive, and determined AJ Styles hands the microphone back to Shane Douglas, and walks away from Shane and the camera. Shane Douglas has a very frightened and concerned look in his eyes.}
{The camera fades away to a black screen.}
