Chapter 10
The next week on Raw the masked figure appeared again interrupting a match between the Hardy's and the Dudley's. No one knew who the new superstar was. KC did a great job of getting into the building and out. Tonight though the masked figure would have a name and will be part of a match.
Backstage on Raw…
On-air…
Backstage at Raw, two very pissed off wrestlers in camouflage pants track down their GM.
"Hey Bischoff," Bubba Ray yelled. "We want to know who the idiot that keeps interrupting our matches is. We figured any good GM would know."
Eric looked at the two angry superstars in front of him. All he could do was put his hands up as if to say 'I know nothing.'
"Boys, I am just as puzzled as you," Eric replied. "But I have an idea. How about you Devon head to the ring and call out this masked wonder? If anyone shows up, you get them one-on-one tonight. Does that work for you?"
Devon and Bubba looked at each other and slowly an evil smile appeared on their faces.
"Sounds good to me," Devon said.
And we are off-air…
"So Eric, really what's his name? Can't we at least know that?" Bubba asked.
"Sorry guys, you'll find out at your match in a few minutes."
At the gorilla pit…
The Dudley's and Team Extreme stand around, waiting for their match to begin. No one else is with them and all four wonder where the masked guy is. The Dudley's music hits and Team 3-D, head to the ring.
"Hey, I know you all want to know who the masked 'wonder' is," Devon addressed the crowd in attendance. "Well so do we. If you have the nerve get your ass down to this ring now!"
JR: Sounds like Devon is not a happy man King.
KING: Can you blame him JR? This masked man cost them matches these last two weeks.
JR: Wonder if anyone will show up.
With that, the lights go dark in the arena. The titantron turns bright white as static is heard over the speakers. A voice begins to speak in an almost whisper.
"You want to know who I am? You are puzzled by my purpose here. You question why I do the things I do. I am ENIGMATIC. A mystery wrapped in a puzzle. You see me, you know me, yet you are blind to who I am."
With that the lights go on, Enigmatic is in the ring standing behind Devon and Bubba Ray.
JR: Oh my god, business just picked up. Enigmatic is already in the ring with those damn Dudley's.
King: Turn around Bubba!
It was too late. Before the Dudley's knew what was happening, Bubba was dropkicked through the ropes to the floor. Enigmatic quickly drop toe holds Devon as was done the week before. With Devon resting on the ropes, Enigmatic performed the same move as last week, a leap over and through the ropes smashing Devon's head.
JR: Good God! That is an amazing move.
King: Enigmatic is what scary devil!
Bubba is now able to get to his feet on the outside of the ring. With another running start, Enigmatic flew over the top ropes into Bubba. With both Dudley's out of commission, Enigmatic surveyed the carnage left behind and began walking up the ramp. Both Hardy's appeared at the top of the ramp, so they too could see the man who was 'helping' them out the last two weeks. Enigmatic just walked past the two Hardy's never making eye contact. This left the Hardy's more confused than ever.
Backstage by the cars…
Todd runs up to Enigmatic trying to get an interview.
"Enigmatic wait!" Todd yelled. "What is the purpose of you being here?"
Enigmatic turned toward the interview and look directly at the camera. In an almost whisper said, "I am here to right a wrong. God help anyone who stands in my."
With that Enigmatic walked off toward a limo and sped away into the night.
