Right after Rose and Wolverina's segment ends, the Titantron lights up, as a camera zooms into a locker room, where Marquis Carter, in his wrestling attire, is standing next to the wheel-chaired Demetrius Marshall, doing some arm training to prepare for his next match. The camera closes in to a speaking Demetrius, who has an angry vibe in his voice.
Demetrius Marshall: "Why did you hurry up, Marq? Why did you accept Danny's challenge so quickly? Do you know what are you putting yourself into?"
Carter stops training for a moment, turning his sight to his manager with a look of wonder mixed with disbelief, as Marshall continues talking.
Demetrius Marshall: "Look, Marq, we came here in the XWA looking for titles, for glory, not for feuds and personal vendetta. All the titles here are easy to get… Riley Williamson is pretty easy, Maddox Paine is much weaker than you. All you had to do was get yourself a title match and you're guaranteed glory. But Danny Diamond… Danny Diamond has been wrestling for more than seven years. He's a former World Champion, he's a legend. It will be-"
Marquis Carter: "Deme…"
For the second time in as many weeks, Marquis interrupts his old manager, looking to put in his fair share of words.
Marquis Carter: "Deme… If you truly believe in me, if you truly think I'm the best wrestler in this whole world, you should believe that I can beat anyone. You should encourage me, not blame me, Deme."
Both men are interrupted by a backstage worker, who yells "Marquis, your match is now", as the Titantron turns to black and scene fades towards the arena.
