*The camera fades into an unidentified gymnasium after dark. Sitting on a lone bench, wearing nothing but a pair of grey sweatpants and a towel over his head, is El Verde Fantasma. He speaks softly, so softly that the cameraman has to get closer.*
[Fantasma:] "Two and a half years ago, in front of the entire Basic Training roster, I let evil into my home of UBL. I faced Joachim, then the NEXUS Champion, in one of his Destiny Trial Series matches. The result was not only the humiliation of a loss suffered in just eleven minutes, but the realization of the stipulation. As a result of my failure, the invading force of Destiny was given one more spot on our roster.
Many felt I was not ready to face Joachim in the first place, especially while I was suffering the losing streak that I had been on. Many felt my desperate to make a grand statement to make my fans cheer for me again was my own undoing - that my own pride led to UBL's fall. The noise from the fans and my fellow wrestlers became deafening. However, once I shut it out, it allowed me to hear something far worse - my own shame.
Me exilié - I exiled myself for two years. I dealt with the pain of leaving my home and the shame of considering why. I dealt with watching UBL cope with the results of my mistake as Jack Moreno and others entered the roster. This led UBL to strike back so powerfully that Destiny had it shut down for over a year. When it returned last month, I was of mixed emotion since the part of me that had become numb immediately reawakened.
Regardless of feeling, the fact remained - I lost a battle for UBL that could still lead to us losing the war. Destiny placed Jack Monroe on the roster, the same Jack Moreno that has been entered into the tag tournament with his partner Jeff. If they win the Championship, it will not just be their gain, but my loss. That is why I have returned, to prevent any further damage from being done by Destiny as a result of my own decision and rookie, or verde, inability to back it up in the ring. This is the reason for my regreso del exilio - my return from exile.
I have one warning for Destiny: What left has returned transformed.
I am no longer the El Verde Fantasma, the Green Ghost. I am now El Fantasma Pálido, the Pale Phantom.
I have trained for the last two years in a very different style than I used to wrestle. I am no longer out to entertain the fans, to please the crowd, or to compete with my fellow wrestlers for glory and respect. Now I am solely here to end the threat that I allowed to advance.
Now I am back to stop Jack Monroe from advancing in the Tournament and to end his chances of hurting UBL.
My partner in this tournament returns for his own reasons. He will reveal them once we dispose of our first opponents: those foolishly named "Three of a Kind." Jasper Woodruff and Kurt Sanders, the shadow of the phantom now falls on you. Heed my advice before you meet us: consider exile."
*The camera fades away as a looming shadow of a man is seen in back of Pálido,.*
