OFF CAMERA
Sitting in the backseat of an Uber, Austen and Mercedes Blackwell are being driven across the Brooklyn Bridge heading into New York City. Austen looks out the window as he looks up to the tall buildings. He had been to Los Angeles plenty of times, but New York City was still so unique to him.
Austen: I cannot believe we are doing this. I get to wrestle at NGW’s biggest show of the year? I am challenging for a title, and I JUST won my first title?
Mercedes: Babe you are getting too excited. You are getting the chance, and just won the title, but you can’t get too excited. You can’t get too ahead of yourself.
Austen: I know. I need to not get ahead of myself. But wow. This is crazy. I cannot believe Mr. Scott picked me from the roster for this.
Mercedes: You deserve it. He picked you because you are talented, and it will be good, just like it was for Danni. Just imagine everything you get to do this week.
Austen: Press all week? Getting to meet a larger group of fans? Who knows if they will even know me…
Mercedes: They will know who you are Austen. One of the top young talents in WCG.
Austen: You only have to say that cuz you are my boss…. And my wife.
The driver looks at them in the rearview mirror.
Austen: Professional boss. Not like a sexual thing.
Mercedes laughs. The driver looks away.
Mercedes: I think he didn’t need to know that much. Should have let him think whatever he wanted.
Austen: I just wanted to clarify.
They get to the edge of the bridge and near New York City Hall.
Austen: This is amazing. It is all too unreal.
Mercedes: It is, but just remember you still have business to do as well Austen.
Austen: Maybe we can stop here for a minute? Just let me record something?
The driver looks annoyed but Mercedes hands the guy a fifty. He looks much happier as he pulls over and throws his hazards on.
Driver: Two minutes.
Austen: Done!
Austen leans over and kisses her on the cheek.
Austen: Be right back, babe.
Austen darts out of the car as he heads towards City Hall. He pulls his phone out and begins to do a live stream.

Austen: Hello everyone out there. Wrestling fans. WCG fans. NGW fans. Austen fans! I am live in New York City! I am arriving days before WrestleForce 2! I am excited to be here. We just crossed into the city. See? That is the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance.
He flips the camera around, before turning it back on him.
Austen: I am super excited to be a part of this match. What an amazing champion Jazmyn Rain is. She is a tough competitor, and I know it is going to take a lot to beat her. And the lineup of people in this match? It is crazy. And going to be hectic. I plan on representing West Coast Genesis to the fullest. I am going to honor those in the Long Beach Division. And most of all, all of the CaliBoy Fans out there! I will be making sure to have some special SoCal styled ring gear to make those on the East Coast remember that this boy? He comes from the West Coast!
He makes a fake crowd cheering noise. Honks are heard in the distance as the sound of traffic in New York City is more than apparent.
Austen: There are so many people in this match. Billy Danielson. RC Tucker. Betsy Granger. Tee Voland. John Blade. Danny Colt. And, well, yours truly. A collection of newcomers to NGW. Some former champions. Champions in other places. It is going to be crazy. And I am ready for it. I get to put my best foot forward and put on display just what NGW can expect when I move up to the main roster.
There is a pause by Blackwell to let that sink in.
Austen: Hell yeah. After I decide that I am ready, I plan on making NGW my home. But that is only when the time comes. I want to be a WCG Triple Crown winner. I have the first step. I will do the Long Beach proud, and defend this title as much as I can. But this week? My focus is NGW. And the Five Lakes Champion. A title that has had some great champions. And such great history. KEG. Hayden Phoenix. Tee Voland. Karin James. Ashleigh Grimes. Kenzie Rydell. The lineage includes the IPW Heritage and Redemptions New Generation Championship. Jenson Idol. Avery Miles. Martin Karoff. The Jew Blazer. Jack Tillman. And now, Jazmyn Rain. It is a title that sometimes is seen as the workhorse title. Not taking away from any of the other titles, but it is something that some of the best in this company have fought over. And some of the best are part of the division. For me to get a chance to show up and fight for it? That is amazing. And I am grateful for this chance.
A horn honks as Austen looks over and sees Mercedes waving to him to get back to the Uber.
Austen: Well fans, we need to cut this short. I just want to say. Jazmyn; I respect you and I appreciate you laying the groundwork with being part of The Guardians. You came into NGW as a relative unknown and have established yourself as an amazing champion. Defeating Jack Tillman was no easy feat. You are a future NGW Champion. Maybe sooner than most think. I know, for one, that Jazmyn would do great as the face of this company. This Sunday we will see some of the best in NGW getting together for Trials and Tribulations III. I am excited to be a part of this, and I am grateful to the fans for having my back. Thanks, all.
