Still unsure as to how to take being in control of a multi-billion dollar company, the Parkers were still in shock as well but had still managed to put a successful card together. Wisdom had felt she could finally move on from what happened at Road to Ruin following Elizabeth Shevington's heartfelt and forgiving words towards she and Butch.
Yes, it was a night of mixed emotions that also seen Butch pursue Senester following his horrific actions that led to him breaking Wayne Heckler's leg and his veiled threat towards Butch and Wisdom's daughter Evina. Butch had even gone so far as to punch a hole through the window of Senester's limousine in an attempt to get his hands on his old adversary.
After several hours of signing paperwork with their lawyers whilst still trying to wrap their heads around what had happened tonight, Butch and Wisdom finally found themselves with some quiet time within the confines of their locker room. Butch was flexing his bandaged hand, trying to gauge its flexibility after having several shards of broken glass removed from his knuckles. Wisdom came in from being off camera, taking her cell phone away from her having finished up a phone call.
(Wisdom): Diana says Evina's fine, she's asking for daddy though.
Wisdom smiles as she says the last part after explaining about Butch's younger sister babysitting their daughter. She notices Butch massages his hand, flexing his fingers in and out.
(Wisdom): Your hand still bothering you?
Butch inspects his hand one last time before making eye contact with his wife.
(Butch): I'll get over it. What I would have given to ram it into Senester's face for even mentioning Evina's name. Prick.
Wisdom smiles again at her husband's protective nature.
(Wisdom): Don't even give him the satisfaction, babe...besides, Mr CEO, we've got bigger fish to fry now.
(Butch): Mr CEO...
Butch repeats Wisdom's last statement and exhales loudly through his nose.
(Butch): That's gonna take a bit of getting used to.
(Wisdom): Well you better start getting used to it quick mister! Did you see Senester's face when the announcement was made! Priceless!
(Butch): Yeah, it's not often Senester is the one having the unexpected bomb dropped on him. Something tells me this is just the beginning of something bigger. Senester isn't a man to suffer fools, let alone strike a bargain with one. He'll not rest until he has control over HWA again.
(Wisdom): Well it's like Mia said during commentary: for now he's just another member of the roster.
Butch half-heartedly smiles but still looks like has a etch of concern on his face and Wisdom isn't ignorant to it. She steps towards him and strokes his cheek gently before equally as gently turning Butch's face towards hers so he is looking directly at her.
(Wisdom): Hey, just for once, stop worrying. Yeah sure, Senester probably has some fiendish, diabolical plan in the making to make us suffer but for now...we're in control. Senester has manipulated your destiny for the past ten years and now the shoe is on the other foot. You are the World Champion and we own this company, let's have some fun with it.
Butch's smile widens a bit more and he reaches up with his own hand and cradles Wisdom's in it.
(Butch): You always know exactly what to say.
Wisdom reciprocates Butch's smile and the two lean in and exchange a long loving kiss before they're interrupted by a knock on their locker room door.
(Butch): Yeah?
A second later and the door opens slightly and the face of one of the techs peers out from the outside of the locker room.
(Tech): Excuse me, Mr and Mrs Parker but the press are waiting for your first public address.
Wisdom shakes her head with a wry smile.
(Wisdom): Of course they are. I wondered how long the vultures would take to circle and want every gory detail.
(Butch): The most powerful man in professional wrestling was just kicked off his throne tonight babe. Every sports magazine, dirt sheet and website is gonna want to speak to us. Might as well get it out the road now.
Wisdom gives Butch a half-hearted smile and sinks her shoulders in a defeated playful manner and she exaggeratingly pouts. Butch turns to the tech.
(Butch): You can pass on a message Mr and Mrs Parker are just finishing up some last minute paperwork and will be with them shortly.
(Tech): Yessir Mr Parker.
The tech disappears and the door closes. As soon as it does Butch grabs Wisdom by the waist and pins her to the wall.
(Wisdom): Last minute paperwork? Is that what we're calling it now?
(Butch): Like you said, we're in charge now, let's have a little fun with it.
Wisdom runs her hands through Butch's hair.
(Wisdom): And the press?
(Butch): The press can wait.
Wisdom raises her eyebrows playfully as Butch begins to kiss her neck as the scene fades to black.
