Three's muscles gave in, his vision was going dark and he felt the last of his strength slip away. He couldn't go out like this, he wouldn't be defeated by a rookie when he's just returned. But he was spent, and broke, and his hand made that all too familiar motion as he tapped out. For the first time in his career The Number Three, tapped out!
The official jumped up and signaled for the bell, then turned to order Dean to release the hold. The area was silent, the fans were stunned. They had witnessed history in this moment and it was the farthest thing from what they had expected to see.

The bell rang. The air silent, the referee telling Dean it was time to stop but he didn't.
"Your winner! by submission! Deaann Johnson!"
But this announcement was only met with Rosario getting into the ring, slowly but carefully as he approached the two men. Dean kept it in, wrenching, as Rosario got in the face of the trapped Three.
"Keep it in! This crowd doesn't know whats best for them and it's not this disgrace. Friends don't embarrass friends!"
Rosario somehow made this about him as he stuck his finger in the face of the returning veteran. They spent years respecting each other but Rosario found a reason to turn his back, and it was the last straw for the crowd. The silence and aura in the air turned into hatred as Dean still wouldn't let go. Wrenching and Wrenching. Tightening and Tightening.
"Piece of s**t! Piece of s**t!" The curses filled the audio waves as the crowd roared. They no longer cared that this was part of a tournament, and they could progress to the next round. This became a lot more personal. Rosario finally waved it off, as Dean let go, tossing the man to the ground. Rosario leaned backwards, popping his back. He didn't need to throw a fit with management, He didn't need to use other people's time, he didn't need to use the names of the past to pave a way. Him and Dean were on a course with something new and fresh, and every second of time they were given they were going to use. Rosario spit in the general direction of his down former compadre before turning his back on The Number Three, Dean following his mentor.
