Monk, fresh from his post Wrestle Kingdom interviews, arrives back at the BTN mansion, it’s a stormy night and Monk runs from the limo into the mansion.

Monk: Guys, I’m back, let the celebrations begin!

…

Monk: Alright guys, is this a surprise party or something? Better be plenty of rum and plenty of girls.

…

Monk wanders towards the kitchen, as he passes Civ’s study, he pops his head in to see Civ sitting by his desk, still in the suit he wore at his Wrestle Kingdom announcement, with the tie slightly ragged.

Monk: You… You okay buddy?

Civ: Yeah, it’s just… That was a hard show. It sucks to have to take a step back to let the Pacific Division prosper. Well… We lost Pruef too.

Monk: Ah man, it all sucks I guess… I’ve not managed to put much thought into it with all the press I’ve had to handle.

Civ: Oh yeah, congrats dude.

Monk: Thanks… I’ll err, give you some space.

Monk continues to the kitchen, inside sits Vacant at the counter, bottle of whiskey in his hand, Pacific title on his lap.

Monk: Everything good?

Vacant: Eh, not really. I managed to keep hold of this, but I let extra gold slip through my hands. Of course… The loss of Pruef hits hard. He’s disappeared off the face of the Earth you know?

Monk: What?!

Vacant: Yeah, no one has heard from him, no public sightings of him. It’s one thing to be fired, but to then disappear without a trace, it’s a fresh wound for us as a stable mate.

Monk: Indeed it is.

Monk sighs.

Monk: I’ll leave you be mate.

Vacant: Okay, oh by the way, well done mate, you brought that title back where it belongs.

Monk: That means a lot.

Monk walks off and up towards the throne room, he takes his seat on his throne, placing his title over his shoulder.

Monk: Well this was not what I expected… I guess it’s hard to celebrate when a brother is lost. Nonetheless, the World title is back where it belongs and now… Now I can work on an urgent matter. Filling that empty throne.

Monk stands up and walks over to the window, glancing out a bolt of lightning strikes and in the distance Monk sees a shadowed figure.
