"Top One Percent" Hits
The WWE Universe gave EC3 a mixed reaction of cheers and boos as they heard the music of the "Top One Percent". He walked out onto the stage in an all-black suit with a white dress shirt. He had a smirk on his face as he turned his back to the crowd. He pointed up to the titantron as the letter EC3 appeared on the titantron. He slowly peeked over his shoulder with a toothy grin before he turned around and began to make his way down the ramp. He looked into the crowd locking eyes with someone who held a sign up in the air for Ced, who wasn't in attendance for tonight's show as he was dealing with a concussion at the hands of EC3.
EC3 walked over to the steps and walked onto the apron getting a mic from the ring crew before stepping into the squared circle.
"Top One Percent" Fades
EC3 stood in the ring with a smirk as the mixed pop he was receiving from the fans died down.
"It seems to me that the WWE Universe loves EC3." He said onto the mic getting a mixed pop from the crowd.
"It's funny. However, when I wasn't here there were no of you fighting to get me back. Fighting to get me a push. Yet, I see #GiveNaomiAChance trending on twitter what about me! And not to quote Dolph Ziggler here but it should have been me! #GiveEC3AChance said no of you! I never needed you then and I damn sure don't need you now!" EC3 said on the mic getting a chorus of boos from the crowd.
"And that is why I shall succeed in spite of you." Once again EC3 found the WWE Universe booing him after his insults.
"I had to take matter into my own hands and I did just that when I dropped Ced on his head in the center of this ring with the One-Percenter." EC3 said as he pointed to the titantron showing the replay of last week when EC3 drove Ced's head directly into the canvas in brutal fashion.
A smug smirk formed on the face of the young superstar as he watched his dirty work unfold.
"And Ced being Ced being the huge idiot that he was decided to try to chase me around. And this is what happened." EC3 once again pointed to the titantron showing the clip where EC3 busted Ced open with the steel chair and dropped Ced with the One-Percenter on a chair.
"Ced walked around here for the longest time believing that he was one of the best that he was the elite. That he was in the top percent but what Ced failed to realize is that he wasn't in the Top-1 percent. I am. He believed that could beat virtually anyone. But he can't beat me. He won't beat me. But I know him, he'll try his luck. So Ced, I know you're sitting at home just watching, wishing that you had the opportunity to come out here and do what you think you do best which is fight. But I'm gonna give you the chance. If you have any balls, you'll be here next week to face me as I make a challenge that you can't refuse." EC3 dropped the mic in the ring staring into the camera with his smug smirk while his music played in the background.
"Top One Percent" Plays
He looked around the arena as he had had fans booing him. He smirked as he looked around.

"Top One Percent" Hits
WWE was once again live for SmackDown Live and once again EC3 stood in the center of a WWE ring with a microphone in hand looking on with a smug smirk on his face. He was determined as ever to get his hands on the white and gold prize that was the WWE Intercontinental Championship. To have his name etched into the history books among those great champions.
"Silence." EC3 said on the mic as his music faded off into the background and the WWE Universe booed even louder.
"Top One Percent" Stops
"All of you ingrates are just like Ced. You don't listen. You don't do as your told. You do as you will. I specifically told Ced to be here next week to accept my challenge for Backlash but what did he do? Nothing! He proved to me that he is exactly what I have always said he was! A man with no balls! A coward! A worthless idiot!" EC3 said as the WWE Universe booed him. During this time a man with a black hoodie had walked through the crowd and jumped over the barricade. The odd thing was no member of WWE security had stopped this man.
The man slid under the bottom rope and entered the ring standing behind EC3. He took off the hood and it revealed to be Ced! The Intercontinental Champion was back on SmackDown after being out with a concussion!
"And all of you-" EC3 was saying before he turned around and was lifted up onto Ced's shoulders! Ced with the Deathbomb in the center of the ring!
The WWE Universe was cheering at the top of their lungs as Ced had attacked EC3 shutting him up in the process. Ced bent down and picked up the microphone EC3 was once using to speak and put it up to his lips.
"EC3 you've been running your mouth a lot recently. I sat at home last week on the couch with my family and we listened to all the shit you had to say. But there was one thing you said that I kind of liked the idea of. A challenge. And right now, you're in no position to accept it but I know you. You're gonna accept it. WWE Backlash, June 14th in Kansas City. You and me in this ring. Intercontinental Championship on the line." Ced said on the mic as the WWE Universe cheered before Ced threw the mic down and walked over to the turnbuckle. He hopped up onto the turnbuckle and posed getting the fans to cheer him once more.
Next chapter, WWE Backlash!
