Fade into backstage at Havok mere moments after Chamelion’s match against Bam.  Pushing aside the curtain and coming down the stairs, Chamelion’s only intention is to get to his locker room, but he is sidetracked by Don McMichael.  Sighing, Chamelion stops short.

 

“Chamelion, you just beat the International Champion, Bam… what…”

 

Interrupting, Chamelion growls.

 

“No, I am NOT going to Disneyland!”

 

Startled and confused, McMichael coughs out.

 

“What???”

 

Titling his head, Chamelion finally does smile, but it’s grim.

 

“Seemed to me that’s where you were heading with that question, Donny… ya know; ‘What are you going to do now?’”

 

McMichael blinks again, still confused.  Chamelion just sighs.

 

“Must be before your time, kid!  What do you want?”

 

McMichael swallows hard but speaks up.

 

“I wanted to know what was up with Wacko Marko not being out there in your corner?”

 

“Simple.”

 

Chamelion begins, then continues.

 

“I clearly stated this last week that no one carries me, and I was out to prove it.  Tonight, the mission began and it was a complete success… This so-called International Champion got a taste what it’s like to be in the ring with a real champion, a man who gets things done and let’s nothing stand in his way!  As for Wacko, I told him to stay at home, he wasn’t needed!”

 

“You said if you won tonight, you wanted a rematch for the title… but you’re one half of the tag team champions, how are you gonna get the shot?”

 

Smirking, Chamelion licks his lips.

 

“Well, nice to know you can state facts everyone already knows… as for my shot?  I damned well EARNED it here tonight, and there should be no other reason then that that I get to challenge for the title.  In fact, this PPV; Survival of the Sickest?  Seems just the right time to add another BWF title to my collection!”

 

“Yes, maybe so; but do you think Maanya or Ghost would go for such a deal?  As I said, you’re already a tag champion, and…”

 

“Listen, Donny.. unless they can produce written rulings that state I can not hold a tag and singles title at the same time; they have no legit reason not to offer me the shot.  Hell, Wicked Clown is getting a singles title shot… Adrian has ANOTHER shot at the Undisputed Gold.. it’s not like I’m cutting in front of along line of deserving contenders… I just BEAT the actual International Champion.. I don’t need a contender ship match!”

 

“Still…?”

 

Chamelion cuts him off.

 

“Listen, it can’t get any clearer then what I’ve said.  And as for the Tag-Team Titles, they are still precious to me, but there is a ladder to climb here in the BWF… and I’m sick at standing on the same rung.  My hand is poised to carry me to the next level… and tonight’s victory shows I’m ready to rise!”

 

McMichael nods, and asks.

 

“With the recent comments we’ve heard, and Wacko’s absence tonight.. will you two be ready to work together next week against Blade and C.D. Punk?”

 

Spitting on the floor, Chamelion wipes his mouth and glares.

 

“Next week, it’s lesson number two… Wacko can hold up the corner ropes if he wants too, but I promise you it will be the Most Devious SOB in the business today that carries that match… I know C.D. Punk and Blade well enough.. and I have no worries that the Tag-Team Champions will add another notch to the wall, as well as see my undefeated streak grow!  Is that it??”

 

McMichael nods as Chamelion pushes past him.  A few steps, then Chamelion stops and turns.

 

“Oh, and one last thing; Bam; you got 17 days to hold on to that title… and then you can kiss it, and your ass, goodbye!  GOT IT?”

 

Spinning on his heels, Chamelion disappears around the corner.
