The 24/7 champion and former Pearl of Pink Diamond, Pearl, was walking along the perimeter of the WWE Performance Center. "Woah, so this is where most of the roster start their journey. The stars this place has created, I wonder if-" just then she noticed a few people outside in the parking lot, some were looking quite despondent.
She went over to them noticed, "Hey, aren't you guys from that big wrestling promotion the kids watch?" she asked noticing, Zach Ryder, Curt Hawkins, Heath Slater, EC3, Primo, Epico, Drake Maverick, No Way Jose, and Mike Choida.
"We were, but not anymore." Zach sighed without looking up.
Pearl then remembered, "Oh, right. Steven told me that a good chunk of WWE's staff were... I'm so sorry."
"Man, this pandemic sucks." Curt groaned.
"What are we supposed to do now? I'VE GOT KIDS MAN!" Heath exclaimed, "Wrestling was were I get all my money from!"
"Now we're gonna have to get real jobs." Primo sighed.
"Why did I apply for a liberal arts degree?" Epico questioned himself.
"Even though I'm in the Interim Cruiserweight championship tourney, no telling how long I'll last." Drake said.
Pearl felt horrible for them, to lose what they love most is something she's WAY too familiar with. As a gem she can't contract earthly viruses or diseases, but humans even not contracted are just as affected.
Ding.
Pearl perked, "Well, you guys don't have to give up on wrestling." the recently released superstars looked to her in confusion, before going in awe as she summoned a very familiar belt from the gem on her forehead.
"The 24/7 championship!"
"I'll just leave this right over her." she said putting it over next to a tree, she then turned to the former wrestlers "Now the first of you guys to grab this title, its all yours."
"Seriously?" Jose asked, Pearl nodded.
"But why?" Drake questioned.
"Because I too experience the lost of the thing I love most, I know its not a contract but I know you guys will work something out. Tootles." Pearl said before skipping away.
"Wow, what a-" Heath stopped when he saw Drake Maverick sprint over to the title, "HEY!"
Drake dove and snatched it up, "YES! IT'S MINE! I'm back baby-" Drake was just then rolled up by No Way Jose, Mike Choida came over and counted.

Jose laughed as he got up and grabbed the title, Drake screamed "NO!" before he got punched by Jose.
Jose then fended off attacks from Zach, Curt, and EC3, before getting caught from behind with a backstabber from Primo. Before he can make the cover he was shoved away by Epico who took the pin for himself.

"Si!" Epico exclaimed before he was rolled up in an Oklahoma roll by his cousin.
