With the sound of a male roar, an intense theme follows as the crowd begins to boo the Simon System advocate. The, “Monster Among Men” makes his way to the ring with Simon Dean by his side with his gym bag full of products. As they enter the ring, Braun throws his arms into the air with a roar as Simon begins to speak.
Simon Dean: For weeks, Team DDT has attempted to recruit Braun and I for their planned takeover of the UWF. But I’m not a stupid man, I know that I’m only being sought after because Sanshiro Takagi and Ultramantis Black know that Braun and I are a package deal, otherwise they’d just be trying to recruit him. But either way, we’ve never been interested in Team DDT’s offer and that’s why the contract Sanshiro keeps shoving in our faces has gone unsigned. It doesn’t matter what you offer and it doesn’t matter if, when forced to team, Braun and your client win the UWF Tag Team Championships, we aren’t signing with you or joining you.
See, I might have a lot of ring rust to work off, but I’m confident that I can get in the condition I need to get in so that I can compete. This, quite simply, is about kicking your asses because I’d rather let myself balloon up like this lardo in the second row than forge any sort of partnership. Your contract isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Braun Strowman: And your team name isn’t worth...um...IT SUCKS!
Well said, Braun. Always straight to the point. But you’re right, that’s like calling ourselves Team Arm Drag. Are you idiots trying to takeover the entire move list in wrestling too? Give me a break.
I’ll give a break, Simon, but to these two clowns when I snap their limbs!
I don’t like clowns.
I bet you don’t even do balloon animals, but that’s alright, because there’s enough animals in this crowd that’ve ballooned up, a few more might make me lose my lunch.
I found it, it’s right here in this gym bag which, as always, the two of you can win if you beat Braun and I.
I’m going to squash Ultramantis like the bug he is! And Shapiro...
Sanshiro.
Sanshiro, you’re gonna get these hands!

Female voice: Please turn your attention to the screen for a remote conversation from The President of DDT and Noah Sanshiro Takagi and his associate The Great and Devious Ultramantis Black. Sanshiro Takagi appears on screen next to ultramantis both of them are sitting in chairs in the middle of a gym along with a few other DDT wrestlers. Sanshiro Takagi: Oi. Simon Dean I don't think you heard the match you agreed to very well. After all you're standing in the middle of the ring, I promised the fans of the UWF a true DDT experience and that means when we have falls count anywhere matches. We don't have in-ring matches, this match is taking place inside of a gym. So when I was waiting here for you to arrive I realized that your force of habit must've made you go back to the ring. Luckily I have the smarts to set up an emergency communication system. But you best start getting on the ball for this cause like the match says, if you and Braun lose you're joining the winning team. Which honestly is a generous offer in every sense of the word, you just gotta prove yourself to work a DDT style for us now. You see your backlash match could've been easy, it could've been a title match. But no now you're stuck up against the most formidable duo in the business. Tell 'em mantis. Ultramantis Black cracks his neck and begins speaking.
Ultramantis Black: Despite the... odd path my associate has decided to take I cannot deny his words. Our name is short for Dramatic Dream Team, which encapsulates so much more, because that which thought unthinkable can occur. But dreams are also a double-edged sword in that you can get lost and consumed by them, and quickly they'll become nightmares. Braun and Simon? You've walked into a dream match, facing a former Spectral Dreams Openweight Champion in a match where you should know every weapon from front to back. Surely you should clear us out with ease. But no you've wandered into a nightmare by underestimating us, you have underestimated the creativity that allowed this match to take hold. And thus the darkness began drifting at your ankles pulling you deeper and deeper. Childish insults will only get you so far, but it's time to show what has allowed people like Takagi and I to not only survive but thrive in the darkness. He laughs a bit the signature sadistic grin showing under his mask.

the lights blackout and smoke starts coming out from the ramp as the signature guitar sound of El Desperado starts playing and the crowd starts booing him like he's some kinda pretentious, weird, cheat who thinks he's a really really good singer when he's actually just meh, maybe they do it cause he is one but who knows smarks are weird He walks out of the curtain playing his guitar and carrying his boss's UFC world heavyweight championship pretending to not be hearing the roaring fans booing him Despy walks down the ramp while playing his guitar and he's very happy, he stops in the middle of the ramp and pulls out a microphone from his tights and begins talkingOK here we go, UWF, UWF fans, Velveteen Dream, you got a second chance here, don't mess it up.Despy enters the ring without giving much thought to the crowd surrounding him and after he enters the ring he immediately starts talkingBecause let's admit it, the first time was a bit of a botch and everyone I just named can be blamed for that, first and obviously the UWF for employing such an incompetent ref that apparently can't see, you the fans for accepting that ugly showcase of cowardice and the lack of wrestling ability and not rioting as you should have, and of course The Velveteen Dream for being himself, the cheating, coward, untalented, non-wrestler and did I say coward? self, you're all equally responsible for us being here and also you're all responsible for making sure we won't meet for a third time, UWF, you have to start employing refs who know what they're doing, my mask is already black and white just saying, UWF fans, nevermind you'll do nothing helpful, continue booing maybe this time it'll actually do something.It probably won't but the crowd sure is happy to try and Despy is happy they do, he basks in the boos for a moment before continuingAnd as for Velveteen Dream, I think it's obvious what you should do in order to avoid a third meeting, don't be yourself! that's all! all you need to do so this second meeting won't get ruined like the first one all you should do is be the opposite of yourself, when you're about to lose, accept it, don't cheat and don't try to escape your impending fall! that's all, now I know it'll be hard to change everything about you in under a month and if I was in Suzuki's place I would have simply told you to handle it yourself but Minoru, despite all of his raw savagery and brutality, decided to make the transition easier for you by making it a steel cage match, you get fewer chances to cheat and fewer chances to run away! obviously it does mean you'll be stuck inside a steel cage with Minoru Suzuki but at least it will be the last time you face him, or anyone else.Despy stares at the hard cam and chuckles for a bit, it's not the same when he's got no one to laugh at so he stops and waits for Dream to come out, Lio will be fine too

Simon Dean: We don’t answer to either of you, Team DDT. And that’s why we’re standing in a UWF ring instead of where you are, because we’re not going to take orders from you. You want to call the stipulation and bring a little bit of DDT to the UWF, that’s fine but we aren’t going to do what you want before then. In fact the two of you should get used to not getting your way because it’s like I said earlier, Braun and I aren’t going to be part of your acquisition. I’m repeating that because your thick skulls don’t seem to absorb much information unless it’s what you yourselves are putting into them.
We understand the stipulation, we understand the stakes, and we understand that where you feel underestimated by us, it’s actually us being underestimated by you, especially me. But that’s the biggest mistake you could make, especially when it comes to the, “Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman. You take away the ring, this mountain of humanity just has more wide open space to knock you around in. You take away the pinfall having to occur in a certain spot, this muscular mass of mayhem just has more opportunity to be creative and pin you anywhere.
Braun Strowman: But don’t count Simon out, because he might not have the size I do or the youth, but he’s still got a body just as enriched by a healthy lifestyle and the patented Simon System just like I do. So it doesn’t matter what you are to your company and it doesn’t matter what titles you’ve held in this company, because when it comes to the S&S Express, you haven’t accomplished anything until you’ve beaten us. And that might seem amusing to you but you’ll notice that I’m not laughing right now.
And that’s because this isn’t a laughing matter. You’re trying to take away our very free will by recruiting us, and that’s why it can’t happen. And with or without us, I know the acquisition will continue which means when we put your duffs in the dirt, you’ll just go looking for another team but that’s fine, leave us out of it. Because we’ve got far more important things to do, like saving this wretched over bloated world from itself and whipping it back into fitness.
Devious you may be, but how far is that going to get you?
On Braun’s shoulder and quickly to the mat, that’s how far!
Now, let’s hear more of what you punks have to say!

Ultramantis Black tilted his head amused by the statement made by Braun and Simon. Ultramantis Black: Oh? Is that really how it goes Braun, from here all I see is another monster, another strong monster to be sure, but nothing that I haven't seen before. Strength is a talent that comes and fades, but the mind it's the one muscle that only sees fit to grow stronger despite age. That involves having memories of fighting monsters before you, fighting people deadlier than you, and coming out not just as a victor but a survivor. That is something you haven't seemed to grasp yet, despite the impressive abilities you hold, you believe you'll squish me like a bug. Where in reality, you are being swarmed and you've yet to know it.He chuckles.
Ultramantis Black: Now Simon, don't think I didn't hear your speech about free will. A rather paradoxical statement coming from you, demanding the perfect body of the people in the audience, yet you stay here and yell at us when your own autonomy is on the line? Perhaps this will be a learned lesson, but sadly I find that is not the case, you still stay in this company that forces the minds and wills of great warriors to be twisted until they are but caricatures of the men they once were. You never had free will the moment you stepped through these doors, you will get chewed up and spat out, in a violent manner. The only difference is when you're with us we're a bit more merciful. Sanshiro Takagi leans forward to begin to speak. Sanshiro Takagi: Thank you Ultramantis Black, from a wrestling perspective it seems you're putting all the pressure on Braun's wide shoulders. Strong as they may be a partnership can not co-exist with that dynamic. Ultramantis and I, we are equals, Outside of the ring we contribute equally, and inside of the ring I held my own against three very strong contenders. Where is your offering to your partnership Dean? I only emphasize this to show what a raw deal Braun has gotten, and your loud mouth has gotten you into this situation. Where you sound like everyone who has stepped into DDT's signature street fighting match for the first time, only to be mistaken at what it means for anyone who is remotely crafty, and how this match favors the devious.

Braun Strowman: Now the two of you are really making me angry, because you’re crossing a line you shouldn’t cross. Simon Dean has done more for me than anyone in my life ever has. Simon found me when I was at a very self-destructive place and took me under his wing. He introduced me to proper diet which includes eating the right thing as well as how much of it. With his help, I adopted the right way to exercise and now I’ve got the right kind of girth and I’m not just physically strong, I’m mentally strong. I feel healthy, I have energy, and it’s because of all that that the UWF brought me back and gave me a job. So don’t you dare suggest again that this is a raw deal or that Simon doesn’t contribute, because he contributes and the only ones getting a raw deal are sitting where you’re sitting.
See it’d be bad enough if it was me versus Sanshiro or me versus Ultramantis, then only one of you would get hurt. Instead you’re both going to get hurt and not just by me, but by Simon too. So believe me when I say you’re going to regret counting either of us out. We’re going to make you bleed on those contracts you’ve been trying to get us to sign.
I get it, I’m not physically imposing like my client is. And like I pointed out, I’ve got rust when it comes to competing and haven’t had the chance to have a warm-up match like Sanshiro. But when it comes to Heatwave, I’m going to be able to not only defend myself, but we’re going to win. For the first time, the S&S Express will get to be a cohesive unit in a match, and as a result Team DDT...
YOU’RE GONNA GET THESE HANDS!

Sanshiro Takagi laughed slapping his hand on the table.
Sanshiro Takagi: Braun? If Ultramantis and I were afraid of crossing lines we wouldn't be where we are today. I would be head of two companies, I wouldn't be stepping into UWF and trying to make it into an acquisition and I wouldn't be in this match. If Ultramantis Black was afraid of crossing lines he wouldn't have taken out some of this companies top talent won the belt, forcing their hand into bringing up a very old stipulation to force the belt off of him. And you want to know what comes with crossing lines though? You make enemies, I've made enemies with people who are scarier and much more talented than you, hell some of them were sumo wrestlers so I'm no stranger to the strong muscle types as well. But where was I going with this... Right. Even if you were the weakest man in the world you'd never be counted out. That's not how DDT works, but I think we chose this venue due to you and Simon being very sure of yourself here.
Ultramantis Black: To force us to bleed is nothing new to us. To break our bodies is a hollow threat. What we are promising is a fate much worse than that, we are promising a broken spirit. Your dreams were in your reach and now in the place where you do nothing but break the spirits of others. We'll do the same to you, your autonomy will belong to us weither we are bloodied, broken, or perfectly fine. Such is the cycle of wrestling, and in DDT where one falls more will replace to fight for it's intentions. Where as if you were broken Braun you'd be cast aside and forgotten to the sands of time. Perhaps it'd be wise to let Simon Dean be the man broken in this match because at least you could fight for his legacy.
He chuckles sadistically.
Ultramantis Black: or do you have too much pride to let that happen?
Sanshiro Takagi: Either way Braun. It's clear what your choice is, and getting hands or not after this match Ultramantis and I will celebrate. Me with a nice beer and Ultramantis with a green tea. A victory for team DDT no matter what. because you didn't know how to face the fire!

Simon Dean: It’s easy to face the fire, you just extinguish it. Braun here is good at that because every week, his opponent comes in full of piss and vinegar and on fire about themselves thinking they’re going to snuff out the momentum of the, “Monster Among Men” but instead, one Powerslam changes all of that and it’s their fire that gets put out instead of Braun’s.
Braun Strowman: What’s with these Japanese guys comparing themselves to elements? Suzuki thought he was the wind, these two think they’re fire. I don’t get it.
Well this isn’t Avatar, this is the UWF but we’ll see your element and raise you one, because we have the element of danger. You may think you’ve faced bigger and badder than Braun, but you’re sorely mistaken.
Emphasis on sorely because I’m going to leave you both in a lot of pain!
So the Heatwave the event is referring to isn’t Team DDT’s fire, it’s the burning coals powering the S&S Express onward to victory.
We’re the last enemies you want to make but that’s how the cards were dealt so now, let’s play.

Sanshiro Takagi gave a smug smirk to the camera.
Sanshiro Takagi: The element of danger huh? Who do you think invented the street wrestling match? I did and it's taken me to some of the strangest places it's as much a game of chess as it is a game of battering your opponent. It seems like you're the ones who need some information pushed through your thick skulls.
Ultramantis Black: The way I have observed this is one of arrogance. Not that it's misplaced if one walked around with a giant I imagine any man would have a loudmouth, but it's the measure of finding your own strength. But as I see it right now you're only strength is making your giant stronger, but an inescapable fact is that you are not fit for competition yet you speak as if you are with the best of them. That can only be written down as misplaced arrogance. Your arrogance got you into this situation, your arrogance continues to dig you deeper into this hole of misery where all you are able to do is lob childish insults.
Sanshiro Takagi: And your arrogance will only end up with your names signed on the dotted lines of these DDT contracts.
Ultramantis Black clears his throat.
Ultramantis Black: Yes, as I was saying. You may feel in control, you may feel like victory is all but assured, but all it takes is a clever mind to overcome the odds of a giant. If all you have to bring is that Braun is a tough person and he'll hurt us for trying. Then you might as well forfeit this match, because you're starting to sound like a broken record, and quite honestly it'll be less embarrassing if you admit your limits.
He returns to his upright seat.

The World Tag Team Champions come out from the back, dancing like always to their theme music. They're moving with some extra pep in their step and why wouldn't they, Becky's back and their the goddamn World Tag Team Champions! They have mics in their hands but they still take their sweet as time dancing in front of the crowd for a while before sliding into the ring. Sami lifts the mic to speak but get's nearly booed out of the building. He waits for them to calm down before raising the mic to speak. Sami Zayn: Drink it in people. One day, Becky and I will be gone and you'll-The crowd cheers loudly just for the idea of these two being gone from the company. Sami Zayn: Oh yeah, cheer it up because years from now when we're no longer holding up this tag team division, you're going to end up missing us like crazy. Heck if we left today, it'd only be a matter of weeks before you were begging us to come back. Just look at the competition! The Dudleyz are washed up has beens, Sweet N' Sour have yet to win a single match. The Lesser Sammy and his buzzkill friend are basically the Wet Bandits 2.0 and no one has even seen the Skull Club since we got done with them. The Undisputed Era ran away because they didn't want to have us embarrass them yet again. They recently came back but look who they went after, The Dudleyz because they knew as long as we got these belts around our waists, they just have to sit back and hope someone else does the job for them. At least the Usos were smart enough to stay away once we got the titles back. Becky Lynch: Those Undisputedly awful wrestlers may have a smart plan to avoid us but they're mad if they think we're gonna lose to a bunch of nobodies. For weeks these chumps have been at each other's throats. It was a hot feud that had everyone talkin' just a few weeks back but now? Who even cares. Sami Zayn: Leave it to Randy Orton to completely kill off any steam. Becky Lynch: We've seen it time and time again. A flash in the pan team who the crowd gets behind tries to rise up only to get knocked back down to their place courtesy of the Dynamic Duo. We're Mount Everest and while you lads have made it to the halfway point, the harsh conditions of reality are gonna end your lil' climb right now. You can either turn back and escape with your life or try to keep climbin' and be left as a marker for future climbers. Becky's threats have the crowd strongly against her but she pays them no attention, simply starring straight ahead into the camera. Sami Zayn: You know what's even worse? They don't even have their full attention on climbing the mountain. They're worried about racing each other to the top. They'll do anything just to stop the other from getting there and while that may be a stupid plan normally, we don't have to be pinned to lose these titles. We've seen it happen time and time again. New Day proved it was possible and now we keep getting put in matches where we don't have to be pinned. Luckily we've bee smart enough to keep that disadvantage at bay since that whole Scramble fiasco but there's always still a chance. Especially with the sleazeball Randy Orton on the sidelines. Becky Lynch: Don't worry your pretty lil' head there Sami because there's nothin' that's gonna stop us. It's been two years of unbridled dominance for the Dynamic Duo and in such a short amount of time we've cemented our legacy in the tag team Hall of Fame. I don't care if you're a hack just trying to shill DVD's, a silent wrestler who likes to throw people around or even a loudmouth who can't stop saying the word bro. None of you will ever be able to topple the legacy of the Dynamic Duo. Becky lowers her mic, looking directly into the camera as if sending message right to their challengers.
