The Breakdown

Rhys Matthews lays defeated in the ring while Andrew Briggs celebrates his win, the crowd shower Briggs in adulation until he disappears behind the curtain. Matthews comes to, rolling onto his knees and looking around the arena, the adulation quickly turns to animosity as he gets to his feet, Rhys seems to waver a little before gesturing to ringside for a microphone.

Rhys Matthews

I. AM. A. FORMER. UNDISPUTED. CHAMPION.

The crowd boo even louder, angered by this tired phrase.

Crowd

BORING. BORING. BORING. BORING. BORING.

Matthews seems to falter a little bit, never facing this much criticism before, although he never showed his appreciation, he loved the support he used to get from the CMV Universe, now desperate he tries to claw back to a time where they loved him...

Rhys Matthews

Y-you know, I don’t think Ricky Spanish was the gum spitter, I think it’s time for another investiga--

Crowd

YOU ARE BORING clap clap, clap clap clap YOU ARE BORING clap clap, clap clap clap

Rhys looks around the arena, the chants pierced through his ears. He tries to make them stop but he just breaks down. Matthews raises the microphone with desperation in his eyes...

Rhys Matthews

O-ok,I’ll change! I’ll change! You’ll see!

Rhys hastily exits the ring, and runs up the ramp followed by the boos of the CMV Universe.
