"TNT" -AC/DC hit the P.A system and the whole arena exploded with cheers as the fans knew exactly who to expect. The lights shut off leaving the arena dark save the countless points of lights that where phones, giving the appearance of a field of stars in the dark.
Fire exploded from the stage and the lights returned, and standing in the middle of the stage was Lilith and Isis. The two red succubi danced together for a moment to the music as a large box rose up from the stage. Isis moved towards the box and opened the door on the front showing the entire arena that it was empty. She went behind and did the same even stepping through the box. All the while Lilith made her way down to the ring where an identical box was being lowered. Again she opened the box showing that it was empty.
The box on the stage was moved to one corner while the box on the ring was left in the middle. Lilith made her way back up to the stage where she stood with her partner and both women waved for the curtain. Then The Number Three emerged from the curtain with the Asylum Championship around his waist. He pranced to the edge of the stage where it lead down the ramp towards the ring and pulled the belt from around his waist up into the air for the whole arena to see. The cheers that erupted at the sight of the new champion drowned out his own music. He flashed the crowd a grin and backed away from the ramp looking over to the box. Three backed to the other end of the stage and flashed a wave towards the fans as if to say good by. Then he took off at a spring towards the box on the stage. The rear door of which was closed while the front was open for him. Isis and Lilith where standing in his way but just as he would have collided with them a burst of flame consumed the two women and Three plowed through it as the women had vanished. He ran and jumped into the box which instantly exploded with a bang and the four walls of the box fell away leaving only a puff of red smoke to settle on the stage.
Down in the ring at the very same instant the back door of the box was nearly torn off it's hinges as Three burst from the box with also fell away, the Asylum Championship still wrapped around his waist. Behind him the box collapsed and Three looked to the camera flashing his white grin which was highlighted on the titantron behind him, and on the t.v.s of the millions of viewers in Europe, America, and all throughout Mexico. The cheers and applause was thunderous, the fans obviously enjoyed the show that had just been put on for them.
Three climbed the ropes and threw up his demon horn taunt as his music faded. He stepped down into the ring and took a mic that a stage hand had brought while they moved to clear the box away.
When he spoke he did so in Spanish, it was obviously not his first language but he made do.
[translate]"It's good to be in Meeeeexicoooo City!!"[/translate] Three shouted to the crowd eliciting a round of cheers from the local crowd. Here in Mexico there would not be as many blacked out faces or horned heads, but they where spotted in parts of the crowd.
[translate]"Sunday I made my return to Evolution when Mr. MacLeod requested that I come back for a match. I didn't know until I showed up to the arena that it would be against Jed, or for the Asylum Championship. But The Number Three is not one to back down from a challenge and when a shot at gold is offered only an imbecile turns it down.
So I made my return, and I battled with Jed; and when it came down to who was tougher, who fought harder... I won!"[/translate] The fans had died down to a dull murmur while he spoke, but cheers erupted when he declared his victory. [translate]"Then just when I was ready to celebrate my victory; the b*****d snake Jamie Bader came to claim an easy win thanks to the 24/7 stipulation on this belt."[/translate] He tapped the belt around his waist. [translate]"But as you can see that didn't end well for him; and I don't imagine he is going to be causing me any trouble any time soon. So at Showdown I won myself a title, and defended it right away; because that's just the type of champion I am!
Now having won a title I'm obligated to stick around with E:E, and don't get me wrong I'm glad to be here. The only reason I neglected to return when I was released from Bell Claire was because I had business to take care of. So take this as my official announcement. The Number Three, the demon of the ring, is back in E:E and he is here to stay, just like the gold on my waist.
When I arrived in Mexico this morning I received a call from the brass. I was told that the 24/7 stipulation had been dropped effective immediately. Now I assume they expected me to be glad about this, because when I started shouting at the voice on the phone he sounded sincerely perplexed. You see I thrive on challenge, that stipulation made this belt all the more dangerous; and I am sure to other, lesser men, losing that danger is a good thing. But to be honest I feel a little cheated. The stipulation represented everything I love about wrestling; but that will not diminish the belts prestige.
With a new champion brings a new era, tonight I face off against the last man who beat me before I... was detained; and after I lay Zarel out I will be setting my targets higher. I faced his brother in my debut, and he came out with the win... I won't let him win again."[/translate] The fans who had seen Three's debut match erupted into cheers. They where ecstatic see a rematch between Jarel and Three, and it seemed the demons intentions where just that.
Three turned to leave so the next match could begin, but before he left the ring he looked into the camera and said, [translate]"This message has been brought to you by The Number Three!"[/translate] That only caused the fans to cheer even louder for him. His music hit the pa system and Three headed up the ramp.
