Here we are once again. TJP was back in action after a weeks break and with his time away from the ring - the ratings had taken a turn for the worst, people wanted to see him and who can blame them for wanting that, he was afterall without a doubt the greatest wrestler in this company and once again that was not some bold statement - that was nothing more than the truth. He was going to put all the talk about his recent title lose to bed and he was going to do what he does best - win and that spells disaster for Sami Zayn.
“Sami Zayn thinks the world's got it out for him. At this point, I think you might be right. I think you're onto something, because no matter what you do or what you say or who you lose to... you find yourself at the bottom of the food chain clawing and scratching for something good to come your way. Down to your last chance, I think you finally got something Sami Zayn. You found the winning numbers, or you just played your cards right, either way... you're one lucky son of a gun for finding yourself in this main event match tonight Sami Zayn.”
The man that everyone was talking about, the man that everyone cared about, the man that was the past, present and future of this company - none other than TJP was in his gaming room/ A man such as Sami Zayn, a man as weak and pathetic as he was not a man to worry about, TJP was not taking him seriously and it showed as with this week away from the ring you would have thought he would have spent it training, but instead he was playing the hitman remastered collection - that was all the training he needed for a man such as Sami Zayn.
"Sami Zayn it was not long ago that you were being knocked about like some kind of crash test dummy. That the ring was cleaned up with your body every single night. The name of Sami Zayn would not bring fear into people, but rather laughter as they would take one look at you and roll there eyes and laugh. Sami Zayn was a loser here, but I mean look at you now, you are like the Hitman remastered collection - games like that, every now and then you come back and people go nuts at that - but with a little bit of playing and some time spent, you can see that these kind of games belong in the past, Sami Zayn that’s you - you are the past. A decade ago - hmmm - yes you are something, but now - not so much. Yet who am I to say such things, you have fought hard to get here, to get back into the main event, good for you. Sami Zayn I'd say we all missed you, but I'd be lying.”
He ran his hand through his hair to slick it back as he leaned back into the chair and sighed. Some people called Sami Zayn one of the very best in the world, but he was not so sure. Sami Zayn was not the man he once was, he had almost seemed to have lost a step and was nowhere near as dangerous as he once was. Sami Zayn has had far too many injuries to be a serious threat to TJP.
“Sami Zayn I know you think you are ready for a main event contest with me - but you are not. There is a reason why I have had more main events here than anyone else - it is because to be as kind as possible - I deliver unlike you and everyone else. When it is time to step up -I STEP UP! When you prove yourself and then get knocked back down into the gutter, it's safe to say that you need to do some self-reevaluation if you know what I mean. Think over your career, think over your persona, think over your awful punch lines. You've dubbed everyone here as your fan, you probably think we're all your friends. Heck, you're so delusional... you think this is 'The Sami Zayn Show'. It's halfway right, since WWEX does get to see a whole lot of Sami Zayn - more than anyone likes. You are here for a reason Sami Zayn, you have come here because you could not cut it out anywhere else and you are thinking this - you are thinking that Sami Zayn will be the man for once, that this - this is a small pond and Sami Zayn is the big fish and for once it will all goes his way. A good plan Sami Zayn, if not for me. This is a small pond for a reason, the bif fish devour the small weaker fish, there is no doubt that Sami Zayn - you are a big fish, it is only a pity you are being tossed into the pond with TJP - a shark and you know how the movie JAWS goes right - tonight Sami Zayn - it will be GAME OVER FOR YOU.”
As good as Sami Zayn thought he was, TJP was that much better. This was round two now and that meant that they were closer to the end of this tournament and he was close to getting a title match the one thing he wanted more than anything else. He was going to take this seriously and he was a man of his word afterall, he was going to do what he did best - win.
