End of an era (spoilers, O2A)

[Kayn]

*The referee had counted the three and for the first time this season, Kayn was the one with his shoulders to the mat. As Magnus celebrated his victory with the belt that Kayn had held so preciously since March Madness, nothing could be done by the "Death Metal Goliath" except watch for a moment. Kayn then quietly climbed out of the ring and headed to the backstage area. Once he reached the stage area Kayn turned and looked at his victorious opponent still in the ring, he then smirked for a moment and applauded the man who was better than him this night. Kayn walked into the backstage area where he was quickly met by Fabolia with a mic in her hand.*

”Kayn! Kayn! Can I get a few words with you?”

“Of course Fabolia, what’s on your mind?”

”I was just about to ask you the same thing. How do you feel about your loss out there to Magnus?”

“Tonight Magnus was better than me. That’s all there is to it. I’m not the type of guy that will stand here and make excuses, Magnus said he would do what ten other men couldn't do and he did exactly that, I lost to the better man. So I’d like to be the first to congratulate the new champ and I hope he has a long title run.”

”So are you saying you’re not going to invoke your rematch clause?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. I don’t want to tarnish the proud tradition that Pure title stands for by having change hands back and forth rematch after rematch. I’m sure that in the future he and I will meet in the ring again so Magnus hold on to that title as long as you can, because I can promise you that everyone is going to come out of the woodwork to try and get a piece of it.”

”So what’s next for you?”

“I’m not sure, but I’m ready to see where this ride is going to take me.”

”Well thanks for your time champ… er, I mean Kayn.”

*Kayn smiled at Fab’s slip of the tongue.*

“No problem, thanks Fabolia.”

*Kayn then took his leave and headed to the refreshment table and grabbed a bottle of water. It was a rather surreal moment that for the first time in almost five months he was going to the backstage area without a title that he had become synonymous with, but he could hold his head high that he would be known, at least for now, as the longest running champion in the federation. As Kayn took a sip from his water bottle, his arm bumped into someone, he spoke as he was turning to face the person he bumped into.*

“Oh, sorry about that.”

*Kayn turned his head to see…*

[emil]

... None other than Emil Edwards.

How could you lose against that bald boring freak? Oh, I forgot, that's because you do not use any of my products, that tells everything.

Emil laughs as he keeps talking

You are staring at the man who's gonna pin that filthy immigrant 1-2-3 for the pure belt, the man who's gonna do the job you couldn't do Kayn, now go ahead, waste more time with Roger and his family, while I train, take my products and become the best wrestler this company has to offer.

And if you ever think of a rematch you better buy my family pack, because if not, you'll lose again, I mean just take a look at yourself, seems that someone abused the champ's privileges when it comes to meals, too many caviar Kayn.

Emil pokes Kayn's gut with one finger as he waits for an answer, smiling annoyingly

[Kayn]

“You know for a guy that spouts off how great his fitness products are and how much of a real athlete he is, I can’t seem to remember you winning a match yet. So why don’t you jump on your little segway there and wheel yourself to someone who cares about what you’re selling.”

[emil]

Emil scoffs and answers back

Oh Kayn! Hitting below the belt, seems that we are in a bad time, aren't we? The only reason you beat me was because you assaulted me before the match, if I was 100% I could have pinned you, humiliated you and destroyed you, all in one night.

And I don't need to prove anyone anything, just look at me, check out this physique it's a winner's physique, yours... Pfft tonight it's just a loser's physique, so tell me Kayn, how does it feel to be on the top of the world and falling into the mud so fast? Please tell me, because that will never happen to me

[Kayn]

"Of course that will never happen to you Emil, because you need to be able to get out of the mud in the first place before that can happen. And if I remember correctly, weren't you about to attack me with a duffel bag full of weights before I powerbombed you into next week?"

*Kayn crossed his arms over his chest as he waited for Emil's reply.*

[emil]

I wasn't attacking you! I was just gonna drop my sportsbag out of the ring so we could have a good, fair and square match, but of course you log head, you took that as an aggression and you put your hands on me! If there was any justice in XWA I'd be a Pure Champion right now! Besides your victory was a fluke. I am still waiting round 2, without any dirty tricks coming from you Kayn.

But of course that's asking the impossible, everyone knows you win cheating, but tonight you couldn't cheat with that filthy immigrant, with that rat that would be probably French or Polish if we Americans didn't helped those countries back in WWII!

[Kayn]

*Kayn laughed a little at Emil’s arrogance. He took a sip of his water then replied to Emil.*

“Well I’ll tell you what Mr. Fitness Guru, if you want round two so badly, then you name the time and place and I’ll be there, and since I’m not the Pure champ anymore it doesn’t have to be under Pure rules, so I’ll even let you pick the match. That is of course unless you’d rather not have your hide handed to you again.”

*Kayn waited for Emil’s reply.*
