*Ruby Moreno glares at the camera.*
[Ruby:] "My patience and mercy have run out. Arthur Wingate was correct to call this tour 'Debased' as that is the only adjective to describe what this promotion has come. Only, you no longer have me as a scapegoat.
At the September event, the following despicable events occurred:
Joachim and Sirius Mask revealed a backroom deal: cheating the fans out of viewing a match to decide the challenger for the NEXUS Title. We do not know what really occurred during this match, or if one was even held at all. Given that the parties involved despise Destiny, my guess is they simply chose Sirius Mask to be the #1 contender due to Joachim's inability to defeat Matthew a few months ago in their triple threat match. At the minimum, we know that the audience was callously denied the main event they were promised as the main event. And we also know that the conditions I laid out, which were tied to the NEXUS Title offer, were manipulated. Joachim and Sirius Mask spit in the face of my good will. I could have chosen anyone to be Matthew's next contender but thought they should prove to the fans why they deserve it. The fans received no entertainment and the absence of a match hurt the credibility of Sirius Mask's claim. Sirius will get his NEXUS Title shot at 'ALL YOUR BASE' as promised but I have no reason to be concerned given these shenanigans.
And yet, even their machinations did not compare to what was to greet me next. Jakob of Furis, the most dangerously unstable man to ever step foot in a wrestling ring returned with me as his target. He then proceeded to give chase through the arena and into the parking lot which I narrowly escaped on time. I have no doubt he possessed murderous intent.
Once I got into the parking lot and was joined by Matthew Rivers, we were threatened and attacked by two other men who turned this promotion into a lawless wasteland. Cosmic KID and James Ward: allow me to by crystal clear, your aggression will not be forgotten. Rather, it will be paid back with interest now that I know you have joined the movement to persecute Destiny. However, for the moment, I find myself unable to threaten you because I must reflect on something disturbing.
The next few words that come out of my mouth defy my understanding:
But had it not been for Kyle Walker, Matthew and I may have been severely injured.
Do not mistake these words for any charity that I will bestow upon his sister when we face each other in December I am merely stating the facts to illustrate this perverse reality we find ourselves in. It took Kyle Walker to end violence."
*Ruby stops and takes a few seconds to breathe. She is handed a bottle of water from a beefy arm off camera and drinks about half of it before regaining her breath and composure.*
[Ruby:] "However, I am not a fool and I am aware of the bigger threat. Wingate, the fact that Jakob's music played before he came out to ringside proves that you have allowed him back on the roster as an insurance policy against us. I find this to be a foolish bet on your part, given how litigious some on your roster have recently become at the slightest 'unpleasant touch.' Realize there is no one more violent than Furis. You and the entire UBL will be devoured by your own decision."
*Ruby suddenly smirks*
[Ruby:] "Or, at least, you would have been, if I had not taken some drastic measures of my own."
*Jeff Monroe walks into the shot. He looks significantly more muscular than the last time we saw him.*
[Ruby:] "The Jeff Monroe you see in front of you now possesses greater strength of body and character than the one who failed to take down Furis upon his return. Yes, we can break down and rebuild our Destined army. Make them better - stronger - faster. So if you have the courage of your conviction, Furis, show up in October and face this Jeff Monroe.
Wingate, if I was you, I'd pray for my miracle of modern science to fix the mistake you made in recruiting that abomination. Pray that we put enough into Jeff to rid UBL of a problem I never thought you would bring back. The gentlemanly Arthur Wingate, the lover of pure in ring competition - for you to stoop to these measures is despicable. Truly, we are living in times of utter debasement. Fortunately, Destiny's entire mission was to prepare for these times. There would be no need for a Guiding Light like myself if the judgement of leaders like Arthur Wingate did not become so easily shrouded in darkness.
So, as much as the next few months will hurt, you'll thank us when this is over."
*Ruby smiles as Jeff Monroe flexes with an aggressive expression aimed at the camera.*
