** The scene opens up to Maven Huffman standing outside in the parking lot of the PwF arena in Sacramento, California. Maven stares down at his watch then up at the entrance to the arena. As if he's awaiting the arrival of a very special someone. Could it be Torrie Wilson, the girl that Maven supposedly wants to woe out of Y2J's arms and into his, or could it be an old friend? Josh Matthews or Greg perhaps? Anyway Maven finally notices a red Camero pull into the arena and a very attractive blonde steps out and hugs Maven around the neck as Maven hugs her back around the waist. The blonde beauty is none other than the Tough Enough runner-up, Taylor Matheny. Maven looks just estatic to see her, as does Taylor to see Maven. Taylor looks at Maven and smiles big, as Maven takes one big look at Taylor and returns her smile with a big one of his own. Maven then gets her bag from the trunk and carries it to his locker room as she follows close behind him. Maven passes Torrie Wilson's locker room and places a note on the door.

Maven: "She'll love that one." (grins)

Taylor: "Why's that Maven?"

Maven: "Quite simply that note entails Torrie lost her chance to be a with a real man and I am going to now kick Y2J's ass, not because of her, but because Y2J is a former champion and by defeating him, I have proven in my own right, my own mind that I am the better competitor and what a true champion should be."

Taylor: "Why are you giving up on Torrie?"

Maven: "Like you don't already know?" (smiles)

Taylor: (grins) "Maybe, maybe not, I just like hearing you say why you gave up on trying to prove to Torrie, that Jericho is nothing more than a lying, cheating scum."

Maven: "Because I met a more beautiful mate, I met somebody who understands me, who knows me. Not just some random woman I met while on the job."

** Taylor and Maven get to Maven's locker room and enter. Maven sets Taylor's bag in the corner as he sits down and starts to lace up his boots. Taylor sits down beside him and starts to give him a shoulder/neck massage.

Maven: "Mmm, thanks beautiful. That really hits the spot, and relaxes me, gets me so ready for anything that is to come."

Taylor: (giggles) "Ah, I knew that it would. Anyway, so what about your match this Wednesday Respect? I mean War, Skull, those two seem pretty well fit and ready to take you and The Executioner on in this match."

Maven: "Trust me Taylor, War will not know what hit him and Skull, he'll just be dropped like a bad habit. With the corporation backing me, I mean the world champion Stone Cold Steve Austin backing me, I can handle anything. Then you have my tag team partner in the corporation, Kevin Nash. Who in their right mind would dare mess with the big man Kevin Nash?"

Taylor: "I don't know, a fool?" (laughs)

Maven: "Well I have to go talk to Vince about something, you wanna come or stay right her and get settled?"

Taylor: (thinking the idea over) "Nah, I'll come with ya." (grins) "You may get lost in this big backstage alone." (laughs)

Maven: "Well with you with me it might be purposely." (grins)

Taylor: (blushes) "Awe, but you need to talk to Vince?"

Maven: "Who said anything about on the way there? I meant on the way back." (laughs)

** Maven and Taylor exit the locker room and walk further down the hall until they reach Vincent K. McMahon's office. Maven knocks on the door then says, "It's Me!". It takes maybe two minutes before Vince can come out and speak with his corporation rising star.

Vince: "What do I owe the pleasure of this visit Maven?"

Maven: "Nothing really Vince, I just wanted to run an idea by you that maybe too good to resist. I was thinking after I win my tag team matches, both on Respect and Hardcore Halloween, that you give me a shot to take the Intercontinental Championship from Gravedigger. You know that I had that match won until War cost me. I want to prove myself to you Vince and the fans, and everyone out there who thinks I'm nothing! So please at least think about my match proposal. Remember, the Respect after Hardcore Halloween, Maven versus Gravedigger, Intercontinental title, no interference what so ever!"

Vince: "I'll take it under advisement."

Maven: "Thank you Mr. McMahon, I won't let you down. Three victories for the Corporation in the next three shows, maybe just two." (smiles)

Vince: "We'll see."

** Vince enters his locker room as Maven and Taylor walk back to theirs.

Maven: (confident smile) "He'll give me the match, it's already a given fact. He doesn't like Gravedigger with that title as much as I don't like Gravedigger with that... My Intercontinental title. He wants that title back in Corporation hands. That's where it'll be too. Back in Corporation hands, where it belongs."

Taylor: "I hope so." (smiles)

** The scene cuts off to black.

"I will electrify, I will entertain, I will excite..."
