The lights in the arena dim down as Ain't About the Money hits the PA.
Ahhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhh, ahhhh
blue and white lights begin to flash while a thin layer of smoke comes across the stage and down the ramp. Flames spring up along the set and the crowd begins to cheer
If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (you know like I know say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power
Finally the former World champion steps out into view and the cheers grow louder. There's a slight change in his attire. Instead of his usual vest, he's wearing a t-shirt with a dragon across it and the words Drakonian Empire across the top of it. Drako Damone looks out over the arena for several moments before starting to make his way down the ramp
Think about it, think about it
Ain't no need to think about it
Get that Money, keep that power
No they not the same thing
Money can be anybody
This somebody, that nobody
When it comes to power
Circle, super small and maintain
Money make em' do it cause of what you give to em'
Power make em' do it cause you told them to do it
Money make you fly, power never die, don't know why
Money can be lost, power never need an alibi
Blood thicker than the champagne
Power in my pride, power in my last name
"..from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 225 pounds, Drako Damone!!"
Drako stops at the end of the ramp and look around the arena for a few more moments before he turns and walks up the stairs and into the ring, moving to the center to stretch out right into his old pose. Pyro shoots off behind him, a nice flash to the past for him and he straightens up again
When I'm in your presence you can feel the power
Even if this company was built from powder
Girls, kissin, on the couch, women, in the, shower
Surround, myself with kings, you can keep the cowards
Everytime I reminisce, I'm reppin' different bitches
Blood is thicker than water but BS is the thickest
Let the chain round my neck tell my life story
Born into the money but would die for glory
Get ready for the takeover, that face, lip and makeover
That case, that I break open, that great fifth like Beethoven
If you, wanna get it poppin', I can be in the team
Thirty-four, in a, rocket cause Hakeem's the dream
(Get it? They don't get it)
The Soaring Dragon walks to the corner and steps up onto the second turnbuckle, covering his eyes to look out into the crowd of cheering fans.
Oooh, we're makin' moves
You're only doing what my power let you do
You see that money isn't everybody's thing
When it comes to power, can only be one king
Finally, Drako steps down and removes the t-shirt, tossing it out to the crowd as he turns to await the arrival of his opponent

Masons music begins blaring through the arena as the fans begin to rise. The familiar revving of his iconic bike engine is no where to be heard however. The crowd began muttering under their breath confusion as they looked around.
Michael is scene talking then nodding before standing up and walking towards the ring before climbing in and being handed a microphone.
Michael Cole: It's has been brought to my attention that due to the circumstances from the brutal Salem says match Mason was in earlier tonight. He will not be able to compete tonight as he is being taken to the hospital via ambulance as we speak. We will give you more updates as we receive them.
The titantron shows and ambulance beginning to pull out of the arena before stopping briefly to allow the passing of a car. The ambulance rocks back and forth heavily before the camera. The break lights flash as the ambulance drives backwards through gorilla position and onto the ramp as Omerta by lamb of god begins to blare overhead. The ambulance stops before the ring and the back doors blowing up to reveal a battered bruised Mason Black. He spits and looks at drako eyeing what might be his toughest fight of the night. Quickly he throws his vest into the crowd before sliding into the ring to greet his opponent. Awaiting the ring of the bell.

Drako listens with mild amusement at the announcement from Michael Cole. If there's one thing the Soaring Dragon enjoys, it's a chance to make fun of Michael Cole and he's going to take it....later as apparently he was wrong this time. Oh the way that he'll be making fun of the announcer.
Now that Mason is here, Drako steps forward when the bell finally rings. He looks Mason over, perhaps wondering at which point the referee might step in for the other man's own good. Since there's no sign of that happening, it's time to get things started

Mason eyes The man known as drako. He knows who he is he's the former heavy weight champion a man not to be trifled with. Unfortunately he chose a really bad time to be on Masons way. Sore and pissed off Mason acts like he's going for a grapple before feigning it into a double leg take down hoping to bring his opponent to the mat

Mason's surprisingly quick as he comes in for the double leg takedown. Unfortunately for him, the former world champ made his name not just flying, but on technical wrestling. Coming out of the match against Drako's old friend Salem angry probably isn't wise, as when he goes for the legs, Drako attempts to wrap him in a front facelock and drop down, attempting to force him to the mat in the headlock

Mason was quick but drako was seasoned and his veteran ring awareness won out as he felt the strong grip dragging him to the floor.
His neck was was being gripped tight as he pushed against him in pain. His body sore Mason begins to try and lift his opponent up with the intent of driving him to the mat to break his hold

Drako quickly realizes that Mason still has some power as he's slowly pushing them up and trying to lift him up and over. Kicking his feet out, Drako attempts to shift his weight to bring himself down on his feet while keeping Mason in the front facelock/headlock

Masons strength waivers as the former champion presses him back down. His back was giving out as he pushed against his assailant his power slowly draining. With one last push a boost of energy flowed this his pain wracked body as his muscles fired to life like a ship escaping a black hole! Mason once when again dove through the pain once again attempting to shake him with a northern lights suplex

The Soaring Dragon certainly made things difficult for his younger opponent. But size wins out eventually, as Drako is brought up and over with the northern lights suplex, temporarily leaving him sprawled out on the mat

Mason breathed heavy the air coming back to his lungs. He winced in pain from the impact of he and his opponents landing. With a grunt he rolls on his stomach slowly making his way to a knee

the impact had been jarring, but Drako is much fresher than Mason coming into this. So, the Harbinger begins to make his way back to his feet as well, relatively easily all things considered

Mason makes his way to his feet finally stumbling forward to catch himself on the ropes. Looking back to drako Mason signals him to bring it in. Determination in his eyes as he spits towards the mat

ask and you shall receive. Drako isn't about to hold back now that he's vertical and steps in towards Mason on the ropes, looking to light his chest up with a Knife edged chop
