The man had put the sports entertainment world on notice a few weeks ago, walked into the Full Sail University sporting a new smirk on his face. He wore skinny grey biker jeans with his "Bred" 4's and his very own t-shirt. He also wore his gold lion chain around his neck with his gold Ray-Bans on his face. He carried his bags in his hands with his beats hugging his neck. He looked around and noticed that the eyes were on him. And one set of those eyes were none other than the current NXT Champion, Tomasso Whitney or as most people knew him as Tomasso Ciampa. Tomasso nodded towards Cedric and sent him a small salute.
At least some people in the back still though fondly of him while some not so much. But he didn't care. He didn't come to NXT to make friends or to make allies. He came to submit himself as the future of WWE and a lot of people believed in him and he wasn't going to disappoint them. And he damn sure wasn't going to disappoint himself. He had goals in that he set for himself. And step one on that list of goals was to hold some piece of Championship gold in NXT and he was going to do it no matter what.
Cedric walked towards the locker room but he was stopped along the way by a crew member.
"Hey your presence has been requested in Mr. Matthews office."
"Now?" Cedric asked.
"Yes Cedric, now." The crew member replied.
"Alright let me put my stuff down first." Cedric said as the crew member nodded and walked away while Cedric opened the door and walked into the locker room.
(!)
Cedric walked into Darren Matthew's office with a serious look on his face. Darren was on the phone as Ced walked in but he said his goodbyes on the phone before he hung up while Ced sat in one of the chairs in front of Darren's desk.
"Hey, I wanted to talk to you about possibly doing a special on the WWE Network detailing your path leading up to NXT. As NXT's next up-and-coming Superstar, we want to make sure that you get all the exposure that you need in order to become the next big thing here in NXT."
"Yeah, I can do the special. What would it take?"
"Just a few interviews. And maybe we fly you out to where a few of your Insurgence Wrestling shows were and tell us about the experience."
"Okay, I can do that."
"Alright we're gonna get the production going and we might need a few of your family members to do a few interviews as well."
"Alright, If you can give me a week, I can get them to agree to it."
"Good. Now as for tonight I got an idea. I've already talked to Trevor and Paul, they're both willing to do it but only if you agree to it." Darren said with a smirk on his face while Ced looked on.
"Go on, I'm listening." Cedric said with a smile.
(!)
Ricochet stood in the center of the ring as the referee raised his arms in victory while he raised up the Championship. The referee then let go of Ricochet's wrist and went on to check on his opponent who Ricochet just got done defeating. Ricochet walked over to the corner and climbed the turnbuckles before he raised his Championship up in the air while the fans cheered.
"Rise of the Young Ones" Hits
The fans started to boo a bit as they heard the entrance music of Ced. Ricochet turned his head and set his attentions to the stage where Ced would be coming from. He jumped down and walked towards the center of the ring as he held his Championship in his hand now. The fans then started to boo a lot louder as Ced came through the crowd with a Steel Chair in hand before he hopped over the barricade and slid into the ring quickly attacking Ricochet in the back with the chair.
Ricochet dropped down to the mat in pain as Ced then continued his assault repeatedly smacking the chair into the spine of Ricochet. That was until the referee managed to pull Ced off of Ricochet resulting in Ced hitting the referee with a forearm that sent him drop down to the canvas before he rolled out of the ring. He turned his attentions back to Ricochet who was screaming in pain and agony before Ced dropped the steel chair and then ripped his shirt before he threw it off into the crowd.
"You brought this upon yourself." Ced said as he kneeled down and spoke into Ricochet's ear. He then grabbed Ricochet by the head and neck and threw him into the steel ring post shoulder-first. Ricochet once again screamed out in pain before Ced walked over and grabbed him before he threw him out of the ring. Ced then exited the ring and turned his attentions over to the steel steps smiling sadistically.
Ced walked towards Ricochet looking down at Ricochet who reached up for Ced and started to try to pull himself up grabbing onto his belt. Ced looked down at Ricochet with a smile before he did his cut-throat motion and picked Ricochet up by the head and shoulder and threw him into the steel steps making Ricochet land with a thud.
Just like it was planned Ced grabbed a microphone that was handed to him by a member of the ring crew. He took off the NXT cover and threw it at the body of Ricochet before he raised it up to his lips.
"You know your brought this on to yourself Ricochet. You challenged me to a match at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix and I told that if we lock it up it's going to be on my terms. And it will be considering if you make it to NXT TakeOver: Phoenix." Ced said as he threw the mic at Ricochet's damn near limp body. He walked over to the steel steps and ripped off the top piece attaching to the steps before he walked up onto the top part and grabbed Ricochet's limp body and set him up in a powerbomb position.
The fans then started to chant "NO! NO! NO!" as Ced lifted Ricochet up with his head in between his legs setting him up for a piledriver before he dropped down allowing Ricochet's head to be spiked on the steel steps. The fans went quiet as they watched Ricochet went limp from the impact while NXT GM, William Regal and Triple H both walked out being followed by security and a medic team who had a stretcher in hand. Ced sat on the steel steps looking on at Ricochet with a chuckle. He then looked up and saw Triple H and William Regal looking on with a frown. Regal walked towards Ricochet while the medic team followed and Triple H walked around them to confront Ced.
"This is not how we do things!" Triple H shouted at Ced who looked at him with a smirk on his face.
"That's how I do things!" Ced shouted back at Triple H while he pointed at Ricochet.
"Get him out of here now!" Triple H said as he looked into the eyes of Ced with a face full of intense anger. The security team then walked up to Ced and started to try to direct him of the arena. Ced chuckled on before he walked around the ring until he reached the ramp. He turned his head and looked at the medic team trying to help Ricochet before he sauntered up the ramp soaking up all the boos that the crowd gave him. Once he reached the stage, he did his cut-throat motion one more time before he walked to the back.
