Danielle was with a sweaty Matt Thunder, and Raph was grimacing as he held an ice pack on his bruised shoulder.
"Gentlemen, congrats on picking up your first win in WWL tonight! How are you feeling right now?"
Matt replies. "We're feeling great Danielle -."
"I feel like crap! Have you not noticed this ice pack so conveniently placed on my shoulder?!" Raph half shouted at Danielle.
"Well um…speaking of your shoulder Mr Kaboom how is it holding up?"
"I'll live to die another day…no thanks to that jerk Hannibal! He is so ending up on my List!" Raph grumbles. Suddenly his expression changed into that of panic, as if he remembered something important.
"Something wrong?"
"My List! THE DOUCHEBAG STOLE MY LIST!" Raph shouted at Danielle and suddenly ran off, screaming Hannibal's name. Both of them shared an awkward look at Kaboom's antics.
"What's he screaming about?" Dex Zeta came in, holding the List of Kaboom in his hand. "I found his List lying around in the ring after your match…" Dex suddenly got distracted by Danielle, and he greeted her instead with the most charming smile he could muster. "Hello there."
Danielle smiled back and greeted him as such. "Mr. Zeta, um…good to have you here."
"No sweat." Dex elbowed Matt's arm lightly. "Just here to drop by and congratulate these two for doing a good job. Also put this on the record…that you're gonna see us a lot around these parts turning this place inside out." Zeta took Danielle's hand and lightly kissed it, smirking before he left.
Danielle blushed. Matt smiled with amusement.
Henry Morgan was with Danielle at backstage. He seemed more relaxed than he was in the ring earlier against Justin Danger.
"Mr. Morgan you might've lost against Justin Danger earlier tonight but you blew the WWL universe away with a spectacular debut. Would you care you share any comments about it?"
Morgan sighed before answering. "I wasn't the better man out there tonight…but I did take Justin Danger into a danger zone. I'd say it's a fair consolation..." He stopped and smiled to himself. "But that's about it Danielle. I didn't come here for consolations, I didn't come here to be second place! Justin Danger tonight knew what I was capable of when I nearly snapped his arm off!" Morgan stared at Danielle. "But he escaped and he finished me off when I wasn't looking…and somehow I'm supposed to be happy with that Danielle, correct me if I'm wrong?
Danielle bit her lip before replying. "I…I didn't imply that at all…"
"Regardless of what you think…I'm not going to settle for a consolation prize even if I have to completely break someone's arm off in the the spirit of friendly competition, breaking one's arm is going to be the least of your worries when you're facing against me, and I'm here for the whole damn thing." Morgan glared at the camera momentarily and walked away after that, leaving Danielle and the cameraman alone.
A fatigued Mason Rivers was sitting down, leaning on a wall somewhere backstage, half asleep.
"Excuse me, Mr Rivers?"
Mason suddenly stood up and shouted. "I want ice cream!" Tobias gave him a funny look as Mason looked at him, and then Mason realized he was being interviewed.
"Oh. Um…ignore what I said."
"No problem. I actually came here to ask you about that incredible match you had with Mr Yoshida. Are you willing to share some insight about your performance tonight?"
"M-My performance?" Mason chuckled. "They don't call me someone with a lot of heart for nothing! Me and Koji tore the roof off tonight! All that flying and kicking, and then -." Mason did some wild hand gestures and imitated a booming sound. "The crowd was loving it!"
"True…but you lost in the end. How do you think that -."
"Affects my momentum? Morale?" Mason shrugged. "Beats me. I just went out there and gave everyone a night to remember. I think that kind of answers what I have in store for the WWL universe to look forward to in the weeks to come."
Tobias nodded. "May I ask what your plan now to move forward is?"
"Get some ice cream duh."
"I'm sorry?"
"It's been a long night Toby. It was fun while it lasted!" He then left Toby alone…for a few seconds before he suddenly rushed back to the journalist.
"Oh yeah I also want to win the WWL Undisputed Title and maybe become the face of this promotion. Now I'm going for that ice cream!" Mason tried to run, but nearly tripped because of that earlier injury Koji inflicted on him. He limped instead the whole way, moaning that he can't kick people anymore.
