“Land of Opportunity”[The REDEFINE Camera crew catches up with Devin St. Claire, who is packing his bag up. It’s about an hour after Rising Sun Revolution went off the air.] CAMERAMAN: Devin, Devin! Can we get a few words on tonights event? DEVIN: On tonight’s event? It was my first match in Chicago-and I had a blast. Sophia Wilson-she got the better of me this week. I own that. Next time though-Sophia won’t quite be so lucky eh? Congratulations Ms. Wilson-now make the best of it. CAMERAMAN: And the announcements regarding your matches over the next two weeks? DEVIN:
Now that’s a fun question. The next fortnight? Now that’s going to be a lot of fun isn’t it. You see, Geki and I started this Movement, and in two weeks we’re going to take those Tag Titles. But I don’t want to get ahead of myself… [Devin pauses and smiles-setting his bag back down and looking right into the camera.] DEVIN: Because first up, is the Television Champion. First up? This kid from Newcastle gets to step into the ring with the reigning World Television Champion, Faolan Reid. Now Faolan-I get it…there’s actually a lot of similarities to us. We both came here to make an impact. You’re from Ireland, I’m from Great Britain. Now, in just a week-we’re going to tangle one on one. I know we joked about this match on Twitter Faolan, but I’m going to be serious: I cannot wait. Because all due respect, I’m going to beat you in that ring. Yeah I know, you’re coming off a high. You beat Andrew Wilkow on pay per view-and you kept your title. Hell, you're the only one with a successful title defense as TV Champion. Me? Yeah. I was pinned tonight by Sophia Wilson. I have an uphill battle. I have a fire in me Faolan, I was a rage in me. This Movement I’ve been preaching about? It’s real-and its time for it to be seen by the world. This weekend, in Valparaiso-I’m going to take you beyond your limits, and I’m going to hold a victory over the World Television Champion… [Devin smiles.] DEVIN: Than-after that? Geki and I are going to take the World Tag Team Championships…. CAMERAMAN: Good luck next week Devin. DEVIN: Now, if you’ll excuse me..I know a certain group of former World Champions running a training camp. I utilizite every opportunity I can to better myself. To evolve, to step forward. I know I have a challenge ahead of me with Faolan Reid-and trust me when I tell you this….I’m going to bring my A-Game. Reid..you’ve been warned…I’m comin’ for ya… [Devin smirks, and takes is bag and heads out of the locker room.]

The scene opens up with a shot of the Redefine TV Title on a chair. There is a lasting image of it until a man steps behind the chair and we can see that it is Faolan Reid. He has a smile on his face as he looks down at his title.
Well I did it.
I walked into Rising Sun Revolution with a thought in my ‘ead about keeping this title and I did it. Andrew Wilkow ‘ad a chance to beat me and he couldn’t do it. This title is still with me and it always will be. But I can’t keep on looking at what I ‘ave been doing ‘ere in Redefine. I ‘ave to look into the future and see what I ‘ave to do and that future is now as in a few short days I face Devin St. Claire.
He nods his head and puts his hands together as he starts to think about his opponent.
Devin wasn’t as fortunate as I was at Rising Sun Revolution. He didn’t get the job done. He now ‘as to look into the future and think ‘ow he is going to get back on the winning train. I cannot allow him to beat me though. I’m a champion and when the title isn’t on the line I still ‘ave to be on top of my game. You see I stand ‘ere looking at this title knowing I was the only one that successfully defended my title last night. I ‘ave to keep winning and some lad like Devin St. Claire cannot beat me or at least I cannot allow him to beat me.
He reaches down with his right hand and scoops up his title and throws it over his shoulder. He takes his left hand and slaps it a couple times as he continues to speak.
All I know about this lad Devin St. Clair is that he is someone that just ‘as arrived ‘ere in the United States and he wants to make an impact. That is the same thing that I ‘ave said when I came ‘ere to Redefine. I wanted to come ‘ere and make an impact and I ‘ave done that. I ‘ave become a champion I ‘ave become a household name back in Ireland I intend to keep it like that.
Devin wants to do the same thing. So ‘ere we stand fighting Devin and I. If he beats me he will get a shot at my title if I beat him then who knows what will ‘appen with him. Either way I ‘ope he comes out fighting. I ‘ope he puts everything on the line in this match because everyone needs to start to realize that is ‘ow I fight. No matter what I put everything on the line. I ‘ave a name to uphold and I will.
He smiles as he slaps the title once more and walks off.

[We fade into a hotel room in Chicago. It’s nothing extravagant-just a simple Holiday Inn suite. Devin St. Claire is sitting on the couch-staring into his Galaxy Note 5, watching clip after clip after clip.]
DEVIN: Studying. It keep me brain sharp, doesn’t it?
[Devin chuckles.[
DEVIN: Faolan, you’re bloody right….you and I? We both came here to make an impact. We both came here to make waves. We’ve both done just that. You see Faolan, this Saturday….I don’t want to beat you. I don’t want to pin you, to make you tap-or to leave you outside the ring for a minimum of twenty seconds. No Faolan…I don’t WANT to do any of that….
[Devin pauses, and lets out a smile-putting his phone down.]
DEVIN: No Faolan…I NEED to do that. I don’t really have a family back home in Newcastle. I have a few friends, me mum and dad. They’re going to see Geki and I win the Tag Titles-but I need to go see them first with a victory under my belt. I need to go see them-having beat the World Television Champion. Doing that Faolan? It will secure my spot. It will secure my future. I don’t need to beat you for the money. I don’t need to beat you-because it will provide a better life for my kids or anything. I don’t have any. I don’t have a wifey at home cookin’ and cleanin’ while I’m here kicking faces in. Not at all. I need that win-for me and me alone. I need that win….to prove to myself that after Sophia pinned my shoulders to the mat on Saturday, that I am worthy of being here in REDEFINE. I’m worthy of competing every week on Fox Sports One, and that I am worthy of this opportunity!
[Devin’s face grows fierce, as he gazes into he camera.]
DEVIN: Faolan….mark my words. You say I can’t beat you. Some lad like me could never beat you….the last person who said I would never do anything? Well..he didn’t end up so well off. So listen up bloke. My name is Devin St. Claire. I am the future of this business, and I am the face of this New Blood Rising. This Movement is on my hands Faolan, and I will not let it down. I have the hardest critic in the world to please Faolan…myself.
[He pauses, and turns to his hotel window-and gazes out of it.]
DEVIN: Faolan Reid has seen the Saint……I don’t know if he wants to see the sinner. This Saturday night, prepare for the Rising Darkness Reid…because it’s coming-and there isn’t anything you can do to stop this movement…
[He smirks-and points to the camera and we fade to black]

Lad, I might have said that you couldn't beat me but the truth of the matter is lad I cannot allow you ta beat me.
Faolan shakes his head as he holds his title in front of him. He looks up at the camera and smiles.
You see lad, I 'ave a title around my waist and as champion I have to uphold it. I 'ave ta keep its honor intact and I plan on doing that against you. I plan on winning and that is why I am standing in front of this camera talking ta you.
Faolan puts the title back on a bench and he reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a black and white photo. It is of a sonogram that his fiance had. He runs his fingers over it and nods his head.
Lad, you say you are fighting for yourself. Which isn't a bad thing lad. But this is what I am fighting for. My fiance and my unborn child. I want them ta be proud of me Devin, and I will make them proud of me and they only way I know how ta do that is by winning every single match that I am in. As my record shows 'ere in Redefine I 'ave done just that. A match with you won't be any different because I will fight and I will try and win. I know I 'ave said that before but it rings true and it always will for me. You 'ave a big opportunity 'ere and I get that but lad there is something else isn't there?
In a few weeks as you 'ave said yourself you have a shot at the tag team titles with Geki. Now lad I am 'appy for you that you get a shot at those titles and you might claim that you aren't overlookin' me and all of that but lad there is a chance that you are. You see you are looking at that match as your first chance for gold and you want it you beg for it but lad if you aren't looking at me now for this match then I will run all over you. Look at Scorpion James when I faced him. He did the same thing and I beat him and with you it might not be any different.
He looks at the photo one more time and tucks it back into his pocket.
Devin I never overlook anyone. As I know that anytime of the day anyone can beat anyone. As we walk into this match you might beat me. You might get your hand raised but lad I will try everything in my power not to allow it ta 'appen. I 'ave worked my arse off for this. I will always fight not matter the odds. I 'ave a family and a title to fight for.
He nods his head and picks up his title and walks off.

Faolan Reid has his wrestling gear on as he is tying up his boots. He looks into the camera and smiles a little bit as he looks down at his Redefine TV Title.
Well soon my lad Devin St. Claire you have a match with me. You have a match to prove yourself in this company.
He puts a finger up and smiles again.
I remember not too long ago lad I got on to my twitter and I saw something from you. You said that you wanted to ‘ave a match with me. That made me smile a little bit because I was finally being called out, or well at least asked about.
You see everyone wants that in this business to be talked about and quite honestly I have been talked about a lot lately and that makes me feel good. Look at what ‘appened on twitter. Ryan Kidd asked about me and gave me a compliment and now I am signed to ‘ave a match with him down the road. Now lad that is ‘uge for someone like me and I will take that opportunity and make the best out of it.
Now don’t get it twisted lad I’m still looking at this match against you. That is what I always do I keep my eyes on the opponent that I am facing that week. It is your chance to try and stop this train that has been rolling and rolling down the tracks.
He makes a rolling sign with his two index fingers and he nods his head once more.
I want to face you Devin and I want to beat you. No it is not because I ‘ate you but it is because I respect you lad. Now that might be strange to ‘ear and say but it is the truth. Like I said before lad you talked about me and said ‘ow you wanted me in a match. I respect that because you didn’t talk behind my back or anything but you came right at me. That takes a lot of guts to actually ask for a match and not talk behind backs and weasel your way into a match.
Now lad I know you have a big chance ‘ere in this match. If you beat me you’ll probably get a shot at my title. If you lose, yes you have a shot at the Tag Titles but the TV Title might wave you goodbye. You’ll have to work ‘arder to get a shot. But like I said if you beat me then you’ll ‘ave that shot. I know your ‘ungry lad. I know you’ll want to beat me but will you be able to?
Don’t worry lad I will fight because that is what I am trained to do. No matter who I ‘ave to face I will fight.
He gets up and grabs his title as the scene fades.
