Breathe in and out man, breathe in and out. The crowd out there was so vocal and alive before I even made it through that curtain, I felt like I was already out there. It gave me that good feeling of nostalgia, as well as the shiver down my back.

"You ready kid?"

Opening my eyes to see the bright sign of the WWE. The light radiating off of it came from behind the sign, lighting up the wall. I scratched part of my T-Shirt up near my sternum saying,

"Yeah I am...."

"Alright playing his theme song in 3....2....1."

The opening guitar to My Curse by Killswitch Engage starts as I go through the curtain, the audience has booed me. I can understand why, especially after targeting NXT's golden goose. My arms extend out for a pose, standing still letting the people boo me, my face has not changed emotions, it's like I had embraced this change in me.

'Remember......15 minutes.......Johnny goes over.....One Final Beat.....'

At least the ref could give us cues for some spots and when our match will end. My ring gear for tonight was unremarkable, sporting a dark black T-Shirt, that had some words written in orange which read,

"Rougher Than The Rest."

I know the catchphrase sounds a little cheesy especially given my ring name, but I like it and it stuck, at least for me. Though, I wasn't a fan of the name change, that being Rougher. Not just Rough, because Rough became a trademark. Cheap bastards.
Other than that I wore some sleek orange and white tight pants that shined when compared to the stage lights.

Entering the ring, I do another pose for the crowd, they boo me when I pose, my music fades out as the crowd still shows their disliking of me. Then, came that familiar tune, the crowd starts to go nuts as it happens.

"Be yourself can be no one else! Another day gotta give em hell! It's burning straight through the dark! THIS REBEL HEART! THIS REBEL HEART!!!!"

Here he comes, the man I had beaten up last week to prove a point to the NXT roster, Johnny Gargano. His short brown hair, little brown beard, brown eyes, and traditional Johnny Gargano outfit, with his Johnny Wrestling shirt, and colors of red and black. Probably in reference to Carnage by the way the symbol had this big bulging eye that was white.
I got out of the ring as Johnny just did his signature pose and even did the Christian by looking out into the crowd. For the peeps. When the entrance music had gone away, I stood outside the ring, jaw jacking with a few of the fans, mostly to get a rise out of them, but also because the boss said it would be better to get some heat. I held myself back in some regards, I nearly said fuck on a couple of occasions but then looked at the cameraman next to me and thought,

'Oh yeah, this is kind of a kid's show.'

Johnny had taken off his shirt and threw it into the crowd. I had decided to keep my shirt on, mainly for a little heat and also because I was feeling a little chilly. Upon getting into the ring, the referee rang for the bell. Me and Johnny did circles around the ring, we locked up in the middle, I was positioned to go into the corner, Johnny had signaled this to me by backing me slowly into the corner, once I felt my back touch the top turnbuckle, the referee started counting before getting between us, as he did, this gave me an opportunity to get a cheap shot on Johnny. He backed away, holding the bridge of his nose in response. My first thing to do was point and laugh at him, which only made Johnny angry. He speedwalked over to me and started hitting me with a flurry of punches much to the crowd's delight. I slipped down the corner landing on my ass as Johnny began stomping at me.
He backed away to get a reaction from the crowd giving me some time to recover, the referee had "checked" on me to make sure I was ok but was there to whisper spots to me.
