The Samurai: The Career Of Jen Hayabusa

[infamyice]

ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ISLAND OF RELEVANCE
June, Week 4, 2021

[After NXT opens up, the NXT Champion, Jay Pierce's music hits as he makes his way to the ring and taking a microphone]

Pierce: Azrael, you son of a bitch! Where are you!? Come on out here right now! I've been calling you, texting your phone and you ignore me? You got some nerves! Two weeks ago, we got blindsided by The Bloodline. Last week, I wanted some payback, and where were you? Nowhere to be found! You weren't even in the building! Have you already forgotten! You! Work! For Me! Your NXT champion! I demand you come out and explain yourself you coward. You think you can leave me high and dry!? If you don't come out now, I will come back there and find you. And when I do, oh boy, you're going to wish you followed my orders when I beat the existence out of your punk ***! Come out here, you worthless piece of crap!

[The crowd consumes the arena in boos towards Jay Pierce, who remained unbothered as he had daggers in his eyes staring at the stage. Suddenly Roman Reign's music blares and the crowd erupts for the Tribal Chief.]

Joseph: Uh oh, I don't think this was what Jay Pierce was asking for.

Barrett: You're right, it isn't. It's someone even better, the Tribal Chief of the NXT, Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. And Roman has a certain air to him tonight.

Joseph: Roman Reigns has been on a tier lately after losing the NXT championship three weeks ago at "NXT Takeover: In Your House". With continuous assaults, week after week, on Jay Pierce and Azrael, you wonder if someone would step in by now.

Barrett: I don't think anyone can stop the warpath of Roman Reigns. After that shocking loss, Roman wants nothing better than a go for the title once more...

Reigns: I can't help but hear that you're looking for that excuse of a footnote you call your, "servant boy". What was his name again? Ashton? ***-kisser? Oh, right, Azrael. The Tribal Chief apologies for forgetting his name. My mind has been, you could say, aloof lately.

Pierce: I don't recall asking for your time out here Roman, why don't you and your simp boys head on back to where you came from, huh?

Reigns: See, I know you didn't ask for my time. But time it-self, belongs to me. And you will, acknowledge me...

[NXT fans gets behind Roman Reigns, chanting his name.]

Reigns: Now me, being your Tribal Chief and all, on this "Island of Relevance", The Bloodline and I stay in the know. We know all that goes on and where everyone belong on this island. And you're looking for your stooge, and me being the kind guy I am, I thought I'd come out and let you know that your boy was found by yours truly.

Joseph: What's he getting at?

Barrett: I got a bad feeling about this.

Reigns: Like I said, my mind has been aloof lately. I can't recall where he his now, but I can show you where I put him...

[The camera cut to the titantron, showing a freeze image of Roman and Azrael.]

Spoiler

Joseph: Oh my god..

Barrett: Oh, this is bad, very, very bad for Azrael and more so for the NXT champion.

Joseph: Roman Reigns powerbombed Azrael off the top of that scaffold! That has to be like a 20-foot drop to the concrete!

Barrett: It's only wonders what kind of condition the Young Lion is in right now. Nobody has heard a peep from him since last week, and now we know why...

Reigns: If anybody here knows where this young man, by the name of Azrael, can be found, please do notify your Tribal Chief at moment's notice. So, Jay Pierce... I see that you're all alone, with something in your possession that doesn't belong to you...

[The Bloodline begins to inch their way forward to the ring slowly, but Jay Pierce isn't willing to back down as he drops everything and gets in his fighting stance.]

Joseph: It looks like Roman isn't done with his handy work.

Barrett: Afraid not, and it's clear that Pierce isn't a smart man to know when to fight another day.

[Just as Roman reached for the ropes to climb in the ring, Shane McMahon's music hits and the crowd pops for him as he takes stage.]

Shane: Alright, I had enough of this. Roman, you've gone too far this time. I just got off the line with the medical team attending to Azrael, and he's going to be out for months. And for what Roman? You put lives on the line for the NXT title?

Reigns: And what about my family? Without that NXT title, I can't feed my family. He's taking food out of his mouth, his mouth, his mouth, and our kids' mouth. I am owed what is due and will not stop until-

Shane: Alright, alright, cut the crap Roman. What if tha man died last week, because of your actions. Then what? What about his family?

Reigns: The way I see it, he didn't. But he should've never stuck his nose in my business. My matters are with him, Jay Pierce.

Shane: Okay, that's how you want to play it? Okay. In August, NXT Takover, here's what we're going to do. For the main event, it will be Roman Reigns, vs Jay Pierce, for the NXT title, in a steel cage match! And to even the odds of stipulations, Roman, should you not win your title match, you are suspended, indefinitely!

Joseph: A "title vs suspension" match inside a steel cage, at NXT Takeover!

Barrett: Just when you think the stakes couldn't get higher, Shane McMahon comes through with a real kicker. But should Roman Reigns lose that match, what does it mean for the Usos? Are they going to be suspended too? And Heyman?

Joseph: We'll have to wait to find out. NXT Takeover is seven weeks away. And who knows how much this rivalry can get out of hand before then.

Barrett: All I can say is that the NXT champion better have eyes in the back of his head. If The Bloodline can have a say in the matter between now and then, Jay Pierce may not make to NXT Takeover 100%, or at all...
