Edward: Well that was an amazing match, but there was an amazing development earlier today. Every wrestler on the roster was summoned to a meeting, and...well, take a look at this footage!

*Backstage, all the wrestlers were sitting on chairs. Rat entered the room, and stood in front of the roster*

Rat: Good afternoon everyone. *Rat waited for a response, but none came. He smiled* Very well, very well...You may be wondering why I called this meeting, when most of you want to prepare for the biggest match of your careers tonight. It's simple. I want all of you to be honest. If you support me...if you think I'll do a good job when I become owner...go to the left side of the room. If you think I'm not the man you want in charge, go to the right. *Hawaii and The Behemoth stood up and quickly went to the left, while Mitchell Row and El Termitas went to the right*

Rat: And I think we can all assume if Lifeguard was here, he'd be on the right...but come on, the rest of you! We haven't got all day, choose a side! *The locker room looked at each other hesitantly, then started filtering to the different sides. Only the MuscleGang remained standing in the middle*

Crash: Sorry Rat, we're not picking a side. MuscleGang is neutral on this.

Rat: I'll give you guys one more chance. Because see, anyone NOT on the left side...will be fired as soon as I take charge. *A few right side wrestlers looked at each other, and started to step forward* Not so fast! You've made your choice. You're on the right. Now...Crash? Liam? Fred?

Liam: ....How about this. Frederic, you'll be National champion no matter what tonight. He contractually CAN'T fire you! You go to the right. Crash and I will go to the left. If Rat wins, we're all safe. If Lifeguard wins, you threaten to quit if he wants to fire us!

Frederic: Oui....it is a smart plan.

Rat: You three crack me up. *Rat chuckled, as Liam and Crash went to the left, Frederic to the right.* So let me get this straight...Termitas, Trailor, Walters, Eagle Beak, Fight Machine, Schreiner, Row, Pie, O'Tooles, Pax, Walsh, and of course Lifeguard and Zaz...all will be fired when I win. Frederic, you're lucky...and....is that Annie Bonkers and Athena back there? You know what ladies, I like you. I'll spare you as well. *Rat turned to the left side of the room* And I hope all you enjoy being the future of wrestling. Good day everyone, and good luck tonight. *Rat left the room, with all the wrestlers now being even more tense than ever, staring each other down*

*Mr. Lifeguard was walking backstage, when Jessie Parran stepped in front of him*

Jessie: Hey....Mr. Lifeguard man...

Lifeguard: Evening Jessie!

Jessie: You know...A lot is happening tonight...and I'm really scared...

Lifeguard: Of what?

Jessie: Well...*She put her arms around Lifeguard's neck* My Alex and myself...we were forced to go on Rat's side...and we're worried you may fire us if you win...

Lifeguard: Wait...fire you?

Jessie: I know! But...I'm willing to do anything...ANYTHING...if you let us keep our jobs...*Lifeguard freed himself of Jessie*

Lifeguard: I'm not firing you guys. Or anyone for that matter, except Rat and Behemoth. The only reason they're getting fired is because they attacked my dad. I think some of you guys are a bit bad, a bit crazy, sometimes a bit weird...but I'm not firing anyone else.

Jessie: Really?

Lifeguard: Really.

Jessie: Then I hope Rat beats you up good!

Lifeguard: And I hope Athena and Annie beat you up good. Good luck!

*The cameras caught Rat leaving the referee's locker room. He walked along, when Vernon Walters ran up to him*

Vernon: Rat! Hey, Rat!

Rat: Hello Vernon!

Vernon: Hey...remember what you said about firing me? That was...a joke, right?

Rat: It wouldn't have been a funny joke, if it was. So no, it wasn't a joke. Sadly for you, Eagle Beak won the number one contendership tonight. That means I can't legally fire him when I win. So you really should have won that match.

Vernon: Hey...how about this. I can get you a pass to my country club. It's really nice...you'll get great service! I'll pay for it all, just-

Rat: I care about loyalty Vernon, not perks. See you around. *Rat walked off*

*As Rat, Behemoth, and Hawaii celebrated in the ring, Rat grabbed a mic*

Rat: I am the new owner of HAW! And I'm making my first action as owner, right now! Mitchell Row...you're fired! El Termitas, you're fired! Mr. Lifeguard, you're fired! Mikey Z! You're fired! *Rat pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket* Jack Trailor, Rex Walsh, Glenny Pax, Vernon Walters, Sean and Fergus O'Toole, Fun Fight Machine, Captain Pie, and Oden Schreiner! You're all fired!

 *The crowd booed, as Mr. Lifeguard, Termitas, and Mitchell Row stood at the top of the ramp, not believing the result*

Rat: Get out of here! You're fired! Pack your bags and go home! *The three slowly left, and Rat turned towards the crowd* And all of you should go home too! Because we lost some talent tonight...so as I go and search for new wrestlers to sign to MY company....HAW is on hiatus! See you all in a couple months! *Rat threw the mic down and smiled, as he exited with Behemoth and Hawaii*
