The scene is backstage at Monday Night Raw, where Rex Savage is standing in front of a camera with a microphone in his hand.
He looks angry and determined.
Jim Ross: Welcome back to Monday Night Raw, folks.
We are about to hear from Rex Savage, who had a brutal and bloody Tables, Ladders and Chairs match with Grant Parker Tyson last night at Halloween Havoc.
Jerry Lawler: That’s right, JR.
And what a match it was.
Rex Savage and Grant Parker Tyson put their bodies on the line in one of the most extreme and violent matches we have ever seen.
They used tables, ladders, chairs, and anything else they could find to inflict pain and punishment on each other.
Jim Ross: But they were not alone, King.
They also had to deal with two unexpected and unwelcome guests.
Rex Savage’s brother, Jake Savage, and Grant Parker Tyson’s former tag team partner, Mike Matthews.
They both interfered in the match and attacked Rex Savage, but he managed to overcome the odds and win the match.
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, but at what cost, JR?
Rex Savage was battered and bruised after the match.
He had cuts and welts all over his body.
He could barely stand up.
And now he wants to speak to us.
Let’s see what he has to say.
Rex Savage: Last night, at Halloween Havoc, I proved to the world that I am the better man than Grant Parker Tyson.
I beat him in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match, fair and square.
Well, not exactly fair and square, because I had to deal with two snakes who tried to ruin my moment of glory.
My own brother, Jake Savage, and Grant’s former tag team partner, Mike Matthews.
They both attacked me during the match, but they couldn’t stop me from climbing the ladder and grabbing the briefcase.
They couldn’t stop me from being the Savage!
Jerry Lawler: Wow, listen to Rex Savage, JR.
He is not showing any remorse or regret for what he did to Grant Parker Tyson last night.
He is not showing any gratitude or appreciation for the fans who cheered him on.
He is not showing any humility or respect for his opponent.
He is just showing his arrogance and ego.
Jim Ross: Well, King, you have to admit that Rex Savage is one of the most talented and charismatic wrestlers in the business.
He has a lot of confidence and charisma.
He has a lot of skill and strength.
He has a lot of passion and pride.
He is a Savage, and he is proud of it.
Rex Savage pauses and looks at the camera with a smirk.
Rex Savage: But you know what?
I’m not done with them yet.
I want to get my hands on them again, and I want to make them pay for what they did to me.
And I have the perfect opportunity to do that at Survivor Series.
Because at Survivor Series, I’m going to challenge them to a tag team match.
And I’m going to need a partner for that match.
A partner who hates them as much as I do.
A partner who can match my intensity and aggression.
A partner who can be a Savage!
Jim Ross: What?
Did I hear that right, King?
Rex Savage is going to challenge Jake Savage and Mike Matthews to a tag team match at Survivor Series?
And he is going to need a partner for that match?
Who in the world would want to team up with Rex Savage?
Jerry Lawler: I don’t know, JR.
But I have a feeling that Rex Savage is not going to ask just anyone to be his partner.
He is going to ask someone who has a history and a connection with Jake Savage and Mike Matthews.
Someone who has a reason and a motive to join forces with Rex Savage.
Someone who is standing right next to him.
Rex Savage turns his head and looks at someone off-screen.
Rex Savage: And that partner is you, Grant Parker Tyson!
Jerry Lawler: Oh my God, JR!
Rex Savage is asking Grant Parker Tyson to be his partner at Survivor Series!
He is asking the man he just beat in a brutal and bloody match last night to be his partner!
He is asking the man he has been feuding with for months to be his partner!
He is asking the man he hates to be his partner!
Jim Ross: This is unbelievable, King!
This is shocking!
This is insane!
Rex Savage is asking Grant Parker Tyson to team up with him against Jake Savage and Mike Matthews at Survivor Series!
What is he thinking?
What is he doing?
What is he saying?
Rex Savage points his finger at Grant, who is standing nearby, looking surprised and confused.
Rex Savage: Yeah, you heard me right.
I want you to be my partner at Survivor Series.
Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like you.
I still think you’re a loser and a coward.
But I respect you.
I respect you for putting up a hell of a fight last night.
I respect you for being a tough son of a b***h.
And I respect you for being a man who doesn’t back down from a challenge.
Rex Savage walks closer to Grant and stares him in the eyes.
Rex Savage: So what do you say, Grant?
Are you with me or against me?
Are you ready to join forces with me and take down those two traitors?
Are you ready to feel the wrath of the Savage?
Are you ready to live on the edge?
Rex Savage extends his hand to Grant, waiting for his answer.
Jim Ross: This is the moment of truth, King.
This is the moment we have all been waiting for.
This is the moment that will change the course of history.
What will Grant Parker Tyson do?
What will he say?
What will he choose?
Will he accept Rex Savage’s offer and be his partner at Survivor Series?
Or will he reject Rex Savage’s offer and walk away?
Will he shake Rex Savage’s hand and form an alliance?
Or will he slap Rex Savage’s face and start a brawl?
Will he be a Savage?
Or will he be a Hero?
Jerry Lawler: I don’t know, JR.
I don’t know what Grant Parker Tyson will do.
I don’t know what he is thinking.
I don’t know what he is feeling.
But I know one thing for sure.
Whatever he does, whatever he says, whatever he chooses, it will be the biggest decision of his life.
And it will be the most exciting thing we have ever seen.
Because this is Monday Night Raw, and this is the WWE!
He looks angry and determined.
