"So here we are. This whole fated 'double defense' bullshit. You wanna know what the real deal is behind all of this? It ain't because I've watered down the competition, it ain't because I've made a mockery of these titles... if anything, I've made AFW's championships THE most prestigious in the goddamn country. No, what it all boils down to is this: Lance fuckin' Marshall is afraid of what I represent. I'm the man that beat him and ended his reign as the inaugural Spirit of Texas Champion. I'm the man that's been one-half of the first and only AFW Tag Team Champions. I'm the man that's been absolutely unstoppable for over a YEAR, and that's only comin' to an end because Lance went out and brought himself in a ringer.

You think I give a shit that you're throwin' me to the wolves? A tag title defense AND a three-way for the Spirit of Texas? You watch, Marshall. YOU WATCH. I'll wipe Mason's stupid smirk off his face, swaggerin' around like he's hot shit because he happened to pick up a win against me nearly a year and a half ago. Ancient history, big guy... and it won't help you here. And it ain't gonna help your little Lariat Queen, either.

Dominic Stanton's a man that's outmatched on any given day to begin with. He ain't ready for this. He'll NEVER be ready for this. And this Titan, this outsider you insisted on bringin' in last month as a surprise? Urani Whitemist ain't gettin' a third. I goddamn guarantee that I will walk out STILL the Spirit of Texas Champion.

You wanna know why, Marshall? Whitemist? Stanton? ALL OF YOU? Because I'm the fucking Carolina Reaper. I'm the single most dominant force in this entire organization. I'm the most dangerous man walkin' the face of the earth right now.

And when I'm finished breakin' every challenger you're sending my way... I'm coming for you, Marshall. You, and your fuckin' sisters, and everyone, EVERYONE you've ever called a friend... I'm gonna make your life and theirs a living hell.

I'm through playin' games. I'm gonna show you exactly how much of a mistake you're making. And when the dust settles... there won't be any doubt in anyone's mind that I'm the greatest champion AFW will ever know. The face of the fed. The best there is.

The Reaper's comin' for you. And there ain't a damn thing you can do to stop me.
