The scene starts with Alexandro Montessoro standing in the middle of the locker room surrounded by the whole eXcess roster. Next to him, SJ Dixon stands with the two tag titles over his shoulders.

AM: Thanks for gathering in time, gentlemen. I've called you because we're in the need of getting SJ Dixon a tag-team partner for tonight's match due to Gravedigger being suspended for using unauthorized drugs.

Superstars in the back murmur while Alexandro continues his speech.

AM: Like I said at the past PPV, the show must go on and Generation eXcess must deliver what it's been promised to the fans. For that reason, I've got all of your names written in pieces of papers inside this bag and I'm going to retrieve one. The name that comes out will be Dixon's partner for tonight and only for tonight.

Dixon doesn't look comfortable with the idea but Alexandro is going ahead. He takes a paper out of the bag and reads.

AM: Dixon's partner for tonight will be... Immacolata!

Everyone in the room looks around trying to find her.

AM: I guess she's not here but someone please let her know that she's got a match for later tonight. Thanks!

Alexandro leaves the room to end the scene

[immacolata]

Immacolata: Teaming with whom?

She looks blankly at her father.

Arkken: Yes, Dixon. So you'll be fighting to help the guy who took the tag team titles from us. Ironic, isn't it?

His daughter shrugs.

Immacolata: I don't care about that. I wanted to get my hands on Silver J and his little... cheerleader, but that will have to do for now.

Arkken: Say, while you are in the ring with Dixon, why don't you let one of your famous spells go awry and cost him the belt?

She stares at him for a while.

Immacolata: Don't you have anywhere else to go? Championship business that requires your attention? Don't let me keep you.

Arkken: Well, I could go and warm up, but I'm only facing Geralt tonight.

Immacolata: What I meant to say was get lost. I have a lot of frustration built up from my last match, and I may be looking for the right excuse to take it out on someone.

Arkken stares back at her, raises an eyebrow and leaves.
