Bridgestone Arena
Nashville, Tennessee
Monday, May 21, 2018
.:: The camera was zoomed in on a large screen television screen in a quiet room. The television showed a heated match between Dalton Castle and Matt Hardy in their first round King of the Ring match. After a couple of moments, the camera appeared to be grabbed and slowly turned to the left. As the television moved out of the image, the shot zoomed out a bit to show Bobby Roode was the one moving the camera. Roode was decked out in a grey pinstripe suit, complimented with a dark purple tie. Over his left shoulder he held the end of a sack, the same purple color of his tie and made of a suede material. Roode smiled a confident smile as he reached over and turned the television off. He then turned back to the camera and began to speak ::.
Bobby Roode: Allow me to save you ten miserable minutes of your life. That match you were just watching doesn’t matter. It is, as some would say, just a formality. They are out there wasting your time, and sadder, wasting their own time. It does not matter who wins that shit show. Neither Castle nor Hardy possess what I do. Are they wrestlers? Yeah sure. Are they good wrestlers? I don’t think I would go that far. Are they anywhere near as glorious as ME?! Now don’t be ridiculous. No one in this business is a glorious as Bobby Roode. NO. ONE.
.:: Roode paused and smirked. He reached around and pulled the purple suede sack over his shoulder and placed it down on the ground next to him ::.
Bobby Roode: That sack is getting heavy! The number of stepping stones I have collected on my path to glory is starting to add up. And no matter who wins out there right now, there will be one more name added to the sack. But before that, I will be adding Cory to the sack. What’s that? It’s Cody? Doesn’t really matter what his name is, his head will crack just like all of them with the Glorious DDT next week!
.:: At Roode stopped talking, Christy Hemme could be heard from the arena announcing, “Your winner… MATT HARDY!” Roode smiled as he leaned over and picked up the sack full of stones ::.
Bobby Roode: Matt Hardy, huh? That is going to be… WONDER…
.:: Roode stopped and wiggled his finger and shook her head ::.
Bobby Roode: GLORIOUSSSSSS!
.:: Roode reached over with his empty hand and grabbed the sack with both hands. He then plopped the sack over his right shoulder before getting an evil smile on his face. He pulled the sack off his shoulder and swung the sack at the television causing multiple sparks, shattering the screen ::.
Bobby Roode: Damn, it feels so good to be ROODE!
.:: Roode laughed and shrugged his shoulders as he walked out of the shot. The camera zoomed in on the television, still producing smoke, as the scene faded to black ::.
FedEx Forum

Beginning of Monday Warfare
.:: The FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee was abuzz as the crowd waited in anticipation for the next round of first round matches for the King of the Ring to start. The arena went dark and some pyro was shot off to indicate the beginning on Monday Warfare ::.
Christy Hemme: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Monday War...
.:: Hemme was cut off by the lights in the arena going off and the all familiar piano riff that started the best entrance in EBWF history. “Glorious. No, I won’t give in. I won’t give in, ‘till I’m victorious. And I will defend, I will defend!” The crowd sang along until Roode was seen at the top of the ramp and then they began to boo. Roode was wearing a black two-piece suit with his jacket open exposing his white undershirt. His black shoes shimmered in the spotlight as he walked toward the ring. Roode was visibly upset, as he lacked his usual swag and attitude that bordered on cockiness. The crowd continued to boo and sing along with his song as Roode walked up the steps and entered the ring. He walked up to Christy and asked for the microphone. She handed him the microphone and turned to walk out of the ring ::.
Bobby Roode: Sorry Christy, I didn’t want to interrupt you.
.:: Christy exited the ring as the crowd booed loudly at Roode and how he had interrupted Christy ::.
Bobby Roode: I was… I was instructed to come out here at the beginning of the show and apologize to you fans and management of EBWF. Last week, after hearing that Matt Hardy had won his King of the Ring match, I lost my cool and smashed a television with my sack of stepping stones.
.:: The tron came on and showed multiple angles of Bobby Roode swinging his suede purple sack of stones at the television screen. The last shot showed the destruction his actions resulted in showing the broken television screen with smoke pouring out of it. The camera cut back to Roode who was in the middle of the ring smiling. As soon as he realized the camera was on him, his smile faded and he got a serious look on his face again ::.
Bobby Roode: I’m… sorry.
.:: The crowd booed ::.
Bobby Roode: Did everyone hear that? I. Am. Sorry! I’m sorry I lashed out and broke the television last week. I’m sorry if I startled any of you out here tonight with how I acted.
.:: Roode paused and got an evil smirk on his face as the crowd continued to boo ::.
Bobby Roode: But most importantly, I’m sorry that it took me so long to do something like that! Are you serious? I have to come out here and act like I’m sorry for breaking a television screen? I’m pretty sure last week Marty Scurll broke some guys fingers in an alley, but no, that’s cool. I break a television in an arena holding an EBWF event and that isn’t cool? Well I think that is pretty screwed up and I’m tired of being nice. So, things like that will continue to happen when I am around. Unfortunately, this is bad news for my opponent tonight. Cody, your debut tonight, hate to break it to you, won’t be what you think it is going to be. It won’t be a DREAM come true for you. Your debut won’t be sprinkled with DUST of GOLD. No, Cody, your debut is going to be full of pain, suffering… hell I’m not going to lie to you, your debut is going to be one hell of a glorious ass whoopin’!
.:: The crowd was mixed with boos and cheers as Roode paused to take in the whole scene ::.
Bobby Roode: Tonight, I continue my path to glory, and begin my quest to restore the glory to the throne! Everyone knows the current king is dirty and homely. It’s about time someone with class was king. It’s time the king brought the glory back! ALL HAIL KING BOBBY ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODE!
.:: Roode dropped the mic and posed in the ring as the crowd booed loudly. “Glorious Domination” started to play and continued to play as Roode walked up the ramp to more boos. Monday Warfare officially began as Roode walked behind the curtain ::.
