Kai Hansen enters to an absolute nuclear reaction.
No neck brace. Still in pain. Respectful nod to the crowd.
Michael Cole (low, respectful):
“Ladies and gentlemen… you are about to hear from one of the most influential European wrestlers of the last 30 years.”
Corey Graves:
“This isn’t just a promo. This is history. He is out injured but his mouth works always!”
Hansen (German → English):
“Tonight… I don’t lead Imperium.
Tonight… I stand for GERMANY.”
Huge pop.
Kai Hansen stands in the ring. The crowd has NOT stopped cheering. German flags wave. IPW chants echo.
🎙️ Tony Schiavone enters the ring
Tony waits. Lets the crowd breathe.
Tony Schiavone:
“Kai… I’ve interviewed world champions, Hall of Famers, icons across decades.
But tonight — in Berlin — I get to interview a man who helped build European wrestling before most of the world was paying attention.”
Crowd cheers again.
Tony:
“Kai Hansen… welcome home.”
Kai nods, visibly emotional.
🗣️ KAI HANSEN SPEAKS
Kai Hansen:
“Tony… for most of my career…
I was the man people hated, yet respected… but never cheered.”
Crowd boos that idea loudly.
Kai (smiles):
“Not here.
Not tonight.”
Huge pop.
🏆 THE TAG TEAM ERA
Tony:
“Kai, people talk about Imperium.
They talk about what you’re doing now.
But fans here remember when you ruled the world together.”
Crowd starts chanting an old name.
Tony:
“You and Markus Weirkeith (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) —
a two-year reign as WWA World Tag Team Champions.”
Crowd LOSES IT.
Kai:
“Markus Weirkeith and I didn’t win those titles.
We took them.”
Applause.
Kai:
“Two years.
Across Germany… the UK… Japan… the United States.
While everyone else was chasing singles glory,
we made tag team wrestling mean something.”
🔥 VICTOR BLOOD & THE YEAR 2000
Tony:
“And then the year 2000.
A new partner.
A new era.”
Kai:
“Victor Blood.”
Crowd reaction — mixed awe and nostalgia.
Kai:
“Victor and I didn’t like each other.
We didn’t trust each other.
But we respected violence.”
Laughter.
Kai:
“And that’s how we won the WWA World Tag Team Titles.
No smiles.
No friendship.
Just results.”
🌍 IPW — THE FOUNDATION
Tony:
“Kai, IPW was your home.
Before streaming. Before social media.
You were a champion there again and again.”
Kai:
“IPW wasn’t a promotion.
It was a standard.”
Huge cheers.
Kai:
“I held every major title IPW had to offer.
Not because I was flashy.
Because I was reliable.”
He pauses.
Kai:
“When the world finally started watching European wrestling…
IPW was already ten years ahead.”
⚓ THE WALK THE PLANK MATCH — 1998
Crowd buzzes instantly.
Tony (smiling):
“1998.
The ‘Walk the Plank’ match.”
The arena ERUPTS.
Kai (laughs):
“You know… people say ‘broke the internet.’
We didn’t even HAVE internet like this.”
Laughter.
Kai:
“But that night… Berlin…
people talked about it for YEARS.”
Kai:
“No ropes.
No safety.
You fell… you fell.”
Crowd chants “WALK THE PLANK!”
Kai:
“That match didn’t make me famous.
It made me unforgettable.”
😎 “TOO SMOOTH” & A DIFFERENT SIDE
Tony:
“And then… something nobody expected.”
Music tease plays briefly — crowd laughs.
Tony:
‘Too Smooth.’”
The crowd POPS.
Kai (grinning):
“Yeah… that Kai Hansen.”
Kai:
“I scared people long enough.
I wanted to remind them…
I could do this better than anyone.”
💃 THE DANCE-OFF WITH ALEX WRIGHT
The crowd starts chanting “ALEX! ALEX!”
Tony:
“Berlin.
Alex Wright.
A dance floor instead of a ring.”
Kai:
“That wasn’t comedy.”
He pauses.
Kai:
“That was confidence.”
Applause.
Kai:
“Alex Wright represented joy.
I represented control.
Berlin loved BOTH of us.”
Crowd cheers.
🧠 THE PRESENT — IMPERIUM & PURPOSE
Tony:
“Kai… tonight, for once, the crowd is fully behind you.
What does that mean heading into Winter Riot?”
Kai turns serious.
Kai:
“It means the world finally understands me.”
Silence.
Kai:
“I didn’t come back to relive the past.
I came back to shape the future.”
Crowd roars.
Kai:
“Imperium stands for discipline.
For excellence.
For European wrestling being taken seriously.”
He looks into the hard camera.
Kai:
“And tonight taking GOLD here at home …
the world will remember who I have always been as I lead Ilja Dragunov & Ludwig Kaiser to victory.”

Quiet hallway outside the locker rooms. Liv Morgan sits on a road case, clearly frustrated.

“Hey, kid.”

Liv Morgan:
“Hey…”
A beat. Awkward silence.
💬 SHAWN BREAKS THE ICE
Shawn Michaels:
“I know why you’re upset.
And I know what Chris Champion told you.”
Liv scoffs.
Liv:
“He didn’t tell me anything.
He ordered me.”
She stands.
Liv:
“Central States.
Like it’s a punishment.
Like I’m some problem he can just ship off.”
🧨 LIV UNLOADS — THE TRUTH ABOUT CHAMPION
Liv Morgan (heated, but controlled):
“I beat Lyra.
I fought through Judgment Day.
I scratched and clawed and bled…
and every time I get close — REALLY close —
Chris Champion pulls the rug out.”
She laughs bitterly.
Liv:
“He talks about ‘business.’
But let’s be honest —
this is about Tiffany Stratton.”
Crowd murmurs.
Liv:
“He wants her as the face.
The look.
The brand.”
She steps closer to Shawn.
Liv:
“And I don’t fit his idea of what a champion should be.”
🎯 THE REAL ACCUSATION
Liv (quiet now):
“He’s jealous.”
Shawn raises an eyebrow.
Liv:
“Not of my looks.
Not of my social media.
Of the fact that people believe me.”
She gestures toward the arena.
Liv:
“They chant my name.
They feel my losses.
They feel my wins.”
She shakes her head.
Liv:
“And he hates that he can’t control that.”
🧠 SHAWN SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Shawn steps in, calm but firm.
Shawn Michaels:
“Let me make something VERY clear.”
Pause.

“Chris Champion does not run Central States Wrestling.”

“I do.
He leans in slightly.
Shawn:
“And we don’t answer to him.”
🏆 THE OFFER — AND THE SACRIFICE
Shawn Michaels:
“Now… Champion did request that you report to Central States.”
Liv tenses.
Shawn (raising a hand):
“But is not as punishment in my eyes.”
She looks confused.
Shawn:
“Central States has a mandated Women’s World Championship match coming up.”
Crowd reacts.
Shawn:
“And I’m willing to do something that might get me in trouble.”
Liv’s eyes widen.
Shawn:
“I’m willing to sacrifice that mandate…”
Shawn:
“…and give that title opportunity to you.”
Huge pop.
🔥 THE CATCH — AND THE CHALLENGE
Shawn Michaels:
“One condition.”
Liv nods, intense.
Shawn:
“You don’t get handed anything.”
She smiles slightly.
Shawn:
“You come to Central States.
You wrestle this week.
CSW Women's Number one contenders match.”
He pauses.
Shawn:
“And then…
Chris Champion can’t say a damn word.”
💔 LIV’S EMOTIONAL TURN
Liv exhales, fighting tears.
Liv Morgan:
“So let me get this straight…”
She laughs softly.
Liv:
“He sends me away to bury me…”
Looks up at Shawn.
Liv:
“…and you’re giving me a chance to come back with gold.”
Shawn nods.
Liv:
"WAIT, Why is Central States Wrestling in Europe?"
Shawn:
"You and everyone will find out tomorrow on the show, kid. Just show up"
💋 THE MOMENT
Liv steps forward.
Liv Morgan (smiling):
“Guess I’m going to Central States in Europe tomorrow.”
She leans in and kisses Shawn Michaels on the cheek.
Crowd POPS HUGE.
Shawn laughs, surprised.
Shawn Michaels (grinning):
“Go win it, kid.”
🎙️ FINAL LINE — THE WARNING
Liv turns back before leaving.
Liv Morgan:
“And Shawn?”
Shawn:
“Yeah?”
Liv:
“When I come back…
Chris Champion won’t be able to ignore me anymore.”
She walks off.
Camera lingers on Shawn.
Shawn Michaels (to camera, low):
“Trust me…
that’s the plan.”
