“Ever since I won against El Jucio, my mood has been on a good side, and it also ended his career before it even began. Now I finally get an opportunity against Captain Arcadia again, but this time, it’s for the NXT Level Championship.”

“The last time we were in the same place at the same time, you got the victory; I was still a free man, and I do respect Captain Arcadia for what he is, but I have something to ask him the next time I see him in the ring, and that is, ‘Where were you?’ You called yourself the hero to the people, but where were you when I was in dire need? Where were you when ‘The Circus’ was tormenting me?”

“Ever since they’ve acquired me at Red Snow, not once did you come to check on me; not even once did you reach out your hand to help me to get out of their clutches; you let me suffer; you did the most unheroic thing that a hero could ever do, and that is ignore a person in distress. You make me crawl through the dirt, trapped in chains that weren’t of my making.”

“And you know what, Cap? I kept looking. I hope for a hero to save me from this hell I’m in. I’m not a praying man, but I prayed for once. But no one came by. I walk that dark, lonely road all by myself. I have to beg Red to help me find a loophole to get out of this mess, but now? He seems to no longer be around, but you know what? That’s fine.”

“Because I do not beg for a hero anymore, I will be my own damn hero now! If help is going to be around for me, then so be it. The road may still be dark for me, but there is something you have that can shine on that dark road, and that is the NXT Level Championship.”

“That title is not just gold to me, Cap; it’s a beacon of light in the night. The one thing that could possibly break through the shadow that has tortured me for so long. I need it, not for the glory nor the fame, but because it’s the thing that can light up the path and keep me from going insane. Having that belt is one way to show ‘The Circus’ that I’m better than them, and Cap, I’m coming to take it.”

“You call yourself a hero, then I want you to prove it. Defend that belt, but understand this: the man you’re facing isn’t the same Mighty that you beat before, and when that final bell rings, I will take that belt away from you, and that will light up the dark road I’m walking. That would be the only heroic thing that you’ll do for me, holding that title for me to take it away from you. Are you ready to have fun?”
