After the show
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Project Underground Locker room
Tyler Cage burst through the locker room doors following a gut-crushing defeat at the hands of VIKTOR BANNON and had picked up a victory and moved closer to the medallion in the process. He’s livid as he screams out in sheer frustration.
Tyler Cage: FUCK!
Tyler walks up towards a set of lockers as he rears back and balls up his right fist, then delivers a LOUD and HARD shot to the steel locker. His punch leaves a dent in the locker and his hand throbbing from the impact, he bursts out again.
Tyler Cage: SO FUCKING CLOSE!
Tyler walks over to the sink and bangs his hands down on it, and then looks into the mirror as he balls up his left fist, this time about to punch the mirror. Until a hand grabs his arm, and a familiar voice gets him to calm down, and he turns around to see his brother Justin Cage with a concerned look on his face.
Justin Cage: Calm down, Big bro; hurting your other hand won't make things better, and besides, you looked good out there in your match. I'm proud of you, bro. I really am.
Justin tries to pat Tyler on his shoulder, but Tyler shrugs him off.
Tyler Cage: I don't want to hear that shit right now, Justin; save the pep talks for somebody else tonight. I knew how I looked out there to the people and all the pross watching. I was in the match, and I can tell you right now, if it weren't for you, I would be sipping on bubbly in a VIP section with a baddie on my arm right now.
Justin looks confused and surprised at Tyler's response.
Justin Cage: Woah, Big bro, chill out with all that; I told you earlier in the week that Viktor had a strong submission game, but no, you said what is he going to do with these hands and then went on to compare yourself to Rocky.
Tyler shakes his head in disagreement.
Tyler Cage: Naw, bro, you were supposed to add some type of an assist out there for me, do a distraction or something. I needed you to be my Shaq to my Kobe, but instead, you were out there cheerleading. You left me hanging worse than when Ben Simmons left the sixers hanging.
Justin Cage: That's so lame big bro. You know I'm nothing like Ben; I got loyalty in my veins; I would never quit on you or our Cageholoics out there.
Tyler smirks for a moment.
Tyler Cage: Cageholocis? I like that shit, bro; we need to get them printed on some t-shirts and get them bitches up for sale.
Tyler daps his brother up as the door swings open, and in walks a Project Honor intern staff.
Intern: Sorry to interrupt, guys, but Savannah Sunshine wanted to inform you boys that next week you two will be taking on VIKTOR BANNON & NATHAN O'CONNOR in a tag match, so good luck with that, ok.
The intern quickly exits, leaving the Cage Brothers to themselves again.
Justin Cage: Sweet, our first tag team match in Project Underground and an opportunity to redeem yourself with a rebirth.
Tyler scratches his head for a moment.
Tyler Cage: Rebirth? Lil Wayne's old album?
Justin looks at Tyler and busts out with a laugh.
Justin Cage: Naw, big bro, rebirth is like a saying, or in your situation when you start off with a loss in your debut match, you probably feel really low, but next week you have an opportunity to flourish and get better after starting off so poor.
Tyler nods his head as he thinks about it deeply.
Tyler Cage: Yeah, I think I get that, bro. It's like a chance for me to be reborn and wipe the slate clean if we can pick up a victory next week. I kind of like that rebirth thing. Do you think we can brand it?
Justin shakes his head and lets out a laugh.
Justin Cage: Naw, big bro, afraid that's already taken, but I do have something that'll cheer you up.
Justin digs in his jacket pocket and pulls out two tickets to the 76ers and Celtics game tonight.
Justin Cage: Now I know you don't like Philadelphia, but I thought maybe if they lose tonight, it'll cheer you up.
Tyler Cage: You know what, bro? Why fucking not? Let's go watch some damn basketball and get busted at The Velvet Rabbit later.
Justin daps his brother up and puts his arm around him.
Justin Cage: That's the spirit, bro. Now let's get out here and think about our strategy for next week.
They both grab their bags and walk out the door with each other as the scene fades out.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Project Underground Training Gym
We open up to the camera zooming in on a cheesy smiling Tyler Cage and then begin to laugh as the frame zooms out and shows him and Justin wearing a Boston Celtics jersey in the ring.
Tyler Cage: What's good to all of our fans, haters, and most importantly, the city of Philadelphia because why this city smells like an absolute dumpster fire, it does have its perk in cheering people up.
Tyler laughs to himself and lightly pushes Justin on the arm.
Tyler Cage: You see, just the other day after I took an L to the big Russian brute Viktor Bannon I went to a Sixers game hoping to be cheered up, and boy did they deliver. Boston walked up into their arena and beat the brakes off your basketball team. I couldn't even find Joel Embid on Twitter; that's how bad that forty-eight point beat down was.
Justin passes Tyler a water bottle, and Tyler takes a quick sip.
Tyler Cage: And that's precisely how our match with Viktor and Nathan is going to go. Now last week, I took an L, and it wasn't all my fault.
Tyler looks over at Justin.
Tyler Cage: But that's all in the past now because tonight Justin will actually get to help me out this time, and I'm already an athletic superstar with untapped potential on my own, now just imagine how unstoppable I'll be when you put my smart and strong Lil brother next to me. It's just going to be another blowout without the happy ending.
Justin jumps up and pushes Tyler out the way.
Justin Cage: Ok, that almost got more graphic than what I would like but let me be clear with everyone watching right now. Viktor Bannon proved last week he is someone not to be taken lightly or joked about because he's all business and deserves our undivided attention.
Justin's facial expression tightens up as he puts up a serious look.
Justin Cage: You see, Tyler had to find that out the hard way, but I already knew from the first time I looked at Viktors resume that he is made from a different cloth than Tyler and me. The same goes for Nathan, the young brother of a true megastar in Jason Long.
Tyler Cage rolls his eyes.
Justin Cage: Our opponents are very seasoned, thanks to their upbringing. Why we are no pushover in the slightest, I have no shame in admitting you two boys have us in terms of wrestling experience, but why Tyler may talk a loud mouth game? He does have heart and pride in wanting to be one of the very best, and so do I.
Justin takes a sip out of his own bottle of water.
Justin Cage: We made our name in the boxing industry, but wrestling was always our true love and passion. I know it's hard to see with all the bling Tyler wears these days, but it's true we respect the business and want to show the fans and our mentor Savannah that we aren't just a comedy team; we want to show that we have what it takes to one day Main Event on the main roster and go on to become future Tag Team Champions, but before all that we've got to prove it in the ring against two other future pillars of this company.
Tyler Cage: OK, Justin, you made your point; that's enough praising the opponents back to the trash talk. Viktor, you choked me out last time, but I won't make the same mistake again; I won't be embarrassed two weeks in a row because nobody gets over on Big Money Cage twice; that's just facts, and for Nathan, you better watch your back, Lil, home I see the way you eye Savannah, and I can tell you Justin not cool with that.
Justin looks at Tyler with a wide eye and gets back in the view.
Justin Cage: Ok, let's make this short and sweet cone on March 3rd in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania All-Attitude is going to show that our name isn't just a cool slogan for an easy merch sale. That All-Attitude is a way of life and that this life will show no mercy to Viktor Bannon and Nathan O'Connor.
Tyler Cage: And that's just Big Money Cage facts.
Tyler Cage snaps his fingers and poses with Justin throwing up a jump shot as the scene fades.
