Following a previous match, we go backstage where Fabiola stands with Finesse.
Finesse, it's been a rough couple of weeks for you to say the least. You started the month off challenging Van Hayden one on one for the National Title, the title that's now on the shoulder of the ever opportunistic Primo. How's that make you feel?
Finesse shakes his head, then answers.
Pissed, that's for damn sure. I've never been one to make excuses for if and when I get beat, but let's call it how it is, Fabs. Primo stole the title. I mean no hatin' on Van, he's a competitor and will take on all comers, but that title shot was my shot. I busted my ass to get it, and then that big nosed Roman chump comes buttin' in, talkin' his usual yin-yang and weasels his way into the damn match.
But, he did go on to beat you the next week one on one.
Don't remind me. I'm not knockin' his skill. He's one of the best pound for pound in the game. But you and I both know it shouldn't have even come to that. He's a master manipulator, and he suckered both me and Van into involving him. And then what makes it worse is that we both did everything in our power to make him a non-factor at Devil's Night. We beat his ass from pillar to post, but he still found some way to put me out, put Van out, pin him and win the title. And that ain't sittin' to well with me.
The mood would change fast as Finesse and Fabiola would soon by joined by another.

As expected, it was the newly crowned National Champion. The fans boo as he walks into the frame with the title draped over his shoulder. A cocky grin spread across his face, Primo adds his own spin on the topic at hand.
*Sniff Sniff* What's that I smell? Oh yes, it smells a lot like sour grapes. *Heh heh heh* What you fail to realize Finesse, is that it takes more then in ring skill and brawn to become a champion. No no no, it takes more then anything else having the mental edge. And I pride myself on having that more then any man in this business. You say I weaseled my way into the match? I beg to differ. When an ample opportunity arise, I seize it. Just like I did at Devil's Night. And I'll give you and Van all the credit in the world, you came in with a sound gameplan. Take me out so that it would simply be one on one between the two of you. But what you obviously neglected to take into consideration is that it takes more then what either of you combined have to take me out. Whereas all it took me was two moves. One to put you out like a light, and the next to do the same to Van, and here I stand...the NEW National Champion. *Heh heh heh heh*
Primo props the belt up on his shoulder.

A scowl comes across Finesse's face as Primo speaks. He wouldn't mince his words in his response.
Well look at you, all happy wit' ya'self. Must feel nice, eh? Forgive me for not given a damn. There ain't no re-writing the history books unfortunately. Some how, some way, you're National Champion. For now. But will you be after the night's over? That's the question.

Just then, the former Champion Van Hayden joins the fray. Standing side by side with Finesse, Van speaks.
That's a good question, Finesse. A real good question. And I do believe I can supply everyone here with an answer. As I'm sure both of you are aware of, being the recent loser of a title, I'm entitled to a rematch. A rematch that I can have...tonight.
The fans cheer the prospect of such an idea.
But I've held the National Title a good, long time. And as much as it was fun being the man who knocked your boy Jasta's block off Primo to win it in the 1st place, just like him in 2009, I have my sights set on the big belt. Can't very well do that if I'm National Champ again now can I? So I went and had a pow-wow with Mr. G a couple days ago. And we came up with something interesting for tonight. There will be a National Title match tonight. You will be defending that belt, in that ring, Primo. But it's not gonna be against me, because I'm passing my title shot on...to Finesse.
Buzz: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!!! That's HUGE!!! Can that actually happen?
Roach: You heard it from Van, this comes down from Mr. Gallas himself. So it can happen, and it WILL happen.
And to further sweeten things up, I'm going to be in Finesse's corner tonight, just to make sure that you and what's left of your cronies don't try to pull a screwjob out of your asses.

You could clearly see the anger initially in Primo's eyes. IT was well documented that he and Gallas weren't on the best of terms, so this was to be expected. But the wheels in Primo's head began to turn, and he composes himself quickly to turn what should be a disadvantage the other way around.
Is that so? *Hmmmph* Very well. But I'll go you won better. Much better. Since I know that you'd much rather not sit on the sidelines on the biggest PPV of the year, Van...Let's make this interesting. Seeing as I'm champion, I still retain the right to name what match I defend the title in. And my choice tonight is simple...a TORNADO TAG match. On one end, there will be the two of you. And on the other end, myself and a partner of my choosing. Should either of you secure the fall or submission, then Finesse wins the National Title. Simple and plain. No tricks. No curveballs. No shenanigans. What say you, gentlemen?
With a curiously "suspect" grin on his face, Primo waits for the answer.

Finesse and Van turn around to convene the offer laid out by Primo. It didn't seem like there was much of a risk in accepting his terms, which was what both me came to an agreement of. They turn back around and Finesse gives the answer.
You're on. The two of us and which ever one of your flunkies you think can help save your ass.

Van would add...
I wonder who it could be? Jasta's out of the equation seein' as Adam's gonna kick his ass. And seein' as Punch is booked to leak MG open, that must mean he's no longer one of your associates. That pretty much leaves Sledge. Might've been nice is this was a Hardcore fight, but he probably knows about as many actual wrestling moves as I do the Cha-Cha. None.

The obvious show of brazen confidence from both men was the tell tale sign that they had no idea what Primo had in store for them. He simply smiles and says...
Ah, but I have far more allies around here then the two of you think I do. But I'll save that surprise for later tonight. Good luck, gentlemen. *Heh heh heh*
And with that, Primo leaves the scene.

Van looks to Finesse and shakes his head as Primo walks away. He pats him on the shoulder and says...
We've got this, Finesse. After tonight, he's gonna have another milestone to add to his resume. Shortest ever National Title reign. Let's go get geared up.

Finesse gives Van a nod, then turns back to Fabiola and gives her his signature wink. Both men leave the scene, and XGames moves on to the next match segway.
Fin.
