Roman Reigns vs Tomasso Ciampa

[Chase]

We cut to a scene of Roamn Reigns working out



We hear the voice of the Strategist the new wiseman Samoa Joe speaking

Samoa Joe: You know I heard once before from an old rival that not all men are created equal. And this goes for Roman Reigns. You see my Tribal Chief he is the one that makes this industry turn. And day in and day out he is putting in the work to get better to be better. You see I feel bad for you Tomasso Ciampa. You have such a good story here in the UWF. You have done nothing but surpass the expectations that was laid out in front of you. Though you see the difference between you and the Tribal Chief it's minimal. You see the Tribal Chief expectations is like he always says are levels above the mere expectations you set for yourself. You wake up at 7 AM thinking that is early. My Tribal Chief is up at 4 AM because he is thinking of the different timezones we are in. That is what it means to be greatness on a different level. That is what i means to take your game to the next level now Tomasso Ciampa are you ready for that next level.

Roman is done doing squats and he moves over to a bench and he starts doing dumbell rows and Samoa Joe in a suit is in the gym nodding in approval

Samoa Joe: You see this is a man who is focused with the task at hand. He is ready to become the UWF champion and now all he has to prove to you of what happened at Wrestlemania was nothing more than a fluke. Ciampa this payperview is called Backlash for a reason. You thought you were done. You thought you could move on but here comes the Tribal Chief ready to show you there is reprecussions when you gloat like you beat him. It took two men to take down a man who is up there with Gods. Tomasso come Backlash you will be reminded who is the king of the pretend throne that you like to claim to sit on.

Roman is donne working out and he takes off his shirt and he throws it he stands next to his wiseman and he speaks.

Roman Reigns: Tomasso... If you think that Backlash is going to be a fairy tale ending for you forget about it. What is going to happen is that I am going to smash you like I did weeks ago on Revolution. You will be reminded of how much of a mere mortal you just are. You can use your serpent tongue all you want to berate and belittle me but your words are going to be like your fists to me nothing but empty and hollow. You won't be able to beat me. I won't allow you to ever think that on this green Earth that you're even close to my level. You Ciampa are just in my way of what will be the year of Roman Reigns. I will meet you in the middle of that ring before Backlash. Rest assured you will see me face to face. But I needed to show you. I needed you to physically see with my your own two eyes why I am better than you. You see the work I put in is somehting you will never understand. You need strong shoulders to carry this company and Ciampa you will never have the strength to do so. You're a role player a good guy off the bench. You talked about someone being the Quarterback and that Quarterback is me. I am the franchise. I am the reason why you have a pay per view match. You think you go this based off your own merit? No it's because I chose to face you and they give the Tribal Chief the big matches. You Ciampa need to understand your place. But you will because after Backlash you will have no choice but to acknowledge me.

Roman Reigns looks intensley into the camera as it fades away.

Sicilian Heart plays as the self proclaimed “Don” of the UWF, Tomasso Ciampa makes his way down to the ring, flanked by his main enforcer, Oba Femi, as usual the duo is talking business as they make their way to the ring. Oba holds the ropes open for the “Don” and Ciampa enters, removing his suit jacket he hands it off to the ring tech in exchange for a mic, slipping the ring tech a twenty for his services, getting into the middle of the ring, Ciampa would point up at the titantron that just showed Romans video and he would look at Oba and shrugs before lifting the mic to speak.

Ciampa: What a shocker, Roman Reigns doesn’t have the testicoli to come out here and face me like a man. As usual Roman doesn’t show up for a confrontation, he needs to hide behind his video productions and his weights well Roman, one man who doesn’t hide is myself. You see I stand on business and Roman we got plenty of business to talk about. You want to talk about excuses and how I wanted this. Well lets rewind to a few weeks ago, Wrestlemania, I pinned your ass right in the middle of the ring and you made the excuse that it didn’t count because it wasn’t one on one, sounds like excuses to me my Samoan friend.

Ciampa and Oba nod at each other

Ciampa: So you see, I did what you did Roman and I went to my Consiglieri and I got advice from them. I took the word of my council and they said while I had jackshit to prove to you or anyone else out here, if I want to be the “Don” of the UWF, I had to show that I stand on my business, that I won’t back down from any challenge, so despite me not owing you a damn thing Roman, i accepted this match for Backlash because once we’re in this ring together and I pin you, again, you are not going to have any excuses. I don’t want to hear any excuses saying that you weren’t ready or that you weren’t in the right headspace because based off that video there with your personal walrus, the new “Wiseman” Samoa Joe, you’re out there working hard in the gym, getting into the headspace you need for this war that is going to happen.

Ciampa waves a hand over his suit.

Ciampa: You see I may dress up in the finest italian suits money can buy these days but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten my roots because my roots are just as important as your roots are to you Roman. You pride yourself on being the next level Samoan in Wrestling, saying that you’re on God mode now but from what i’ve seen, God mode isn’t as effective as it used to be back in the day pal, maybe your cheat codes need to come to the modern day. You want to call yourself the Quarterback of UWF. Well, you’re less Patriots Era Tom Brady and more Buccaneers Era Tom Brady. A man still clinging on to past greatness who can’t admit that his era is over and that a new era is rising, my era.

The crowd boos Ciampa.

Ciampa: Tell me when i’m telling lies folks, since Wrestlemania I have gone undefeated in this ring, I am the most focused I have been for years, I know what my prize is going to be and I am working my ass off night and day to get it. You see my people have a proverb, Chi asperttar puote, viene a cio che vuole. Loosely translated it means “Who can wait, will arrive”. Patience is a virtue Roman and I am a patient man, so once I beat you, i’ll wait patiently for EC3 to give me what is rightfully mine: A shot at the UWF Championship but i’ve prattled on long enough and there is one person who I need to thank apart from my enforcer, Oba Femi for my rise. Ladies and Gentlemen, they say behind every great man is a great woman so welcome my Consigleri…..

Pride Fighter begins to play as Sonya Deville makes her UWF return, dressed in a suit she makes her way down to the ring with a mic and welcomes a hug from Ciampa, she speaks up.

Sonya Deville: Roman, what “Don” Ciampa has said is all correct. We’ve been waiting and biding our time for his ascension and we are a patient people. We can wait but what we can’t allow is disrespect, the disrespect you have shown this great man for weeks now, so at Backlash with me and Oba in his corner, “The Don” puts the “The Tribal Chief” out with the trash.

The trio stand in the ring waiting for a response.
