I was the one on the microphone. I had the best Charisma score. I said "We've been doing covert investigations in the last couple of weeks. I think that there is a very big conspiracy going on. The tag titles have not been defended in over 3 months. This corruption is not something that will stand in OPW. It will not stand in Boom. We will not stand for it." I then looked at the stage. "Let's see if the prime suspects have anything to say for themselves. Come on out here, Oliver Violet and Adam Everett." The tag champions were called out directly. It was time to see if they were going to come out. I waited 5 seconds. There was no response. A score of 2.5 was not a really big deal. It was not so compelling. I scoffed out loud anyway. I had the microphone here in the ring. That meant I had the control over the narrative. "Just as I thought. Their corruption speaks for itself. They won't defend the belts. Why would they defend themselves?" I said. I then looked at the crowd. "I'll tell you this: we are not going to drop this. I am putting Jax and Rex on this. Knox and I will back them." They were in now.
Zooming out to the ring were the tag team champions. They had a scooter/skater gimmick. Both of them looked pissed off. "Hold on there, detective! You know more than anyone that we could not defend the titles." Oliver said with a glare at me. "We were both attacked by that maniac, Rhett Griffin!" Adam yelled into his microphone. They were taking the bait actually. "Fancy that. You were. So were several others that have had matches after getting beaten up. We were beaten by that criminal multiple times. Are you scared he'll hit you again?" I pointed out. "We're not scared of giving title shots. We just don't have any competition right now." Adam shot back. I was not going to back down. "You're here now. The officers are here now. Why not defend the belts tonight?" I asked. The crowd began to rumble. They wanted to see a tag title defense. "Fine! We'll do it. But not tonight. Next week, we'll put all of you pigs in your place. God! I hate dirty cops that don't leave you alone. All the damn quotas." Oliver yelled. He then scooted backstage. Adam looked shocked and followed his partner.
You could tell we got under Oliver's skin. I smirked and said "After we win, we will ensure that the tag championships are managed justly and properly. We live to protect and serve you fans after all." After that, I dropped the microphone and we left the ring together to our theme music. When we got to the back, we got the exp. for the promo. I also saw that the match was schedule for the next week. I looked at Jax and Rex. "So... does that offer still stand, or was that all just fucking talk before?" I asked. Rex looked like he was going to get out of it when Jax said "Yeah, you got us the title shot, but it's not like you're putting the gold on us. We'd have to be the ones going out there and fighting for it." I rolled my eyes. "Because, you were going to magically jump to the front of the line without a promo like that, huh?" I spat. Rex got between us and said "It's fine. A promise is a promise. I'm the one who said it. If you're our manager, you can watch our backs. If we win, I will let you hit." Before either of us could say anything, he narrowed his eyes and said "1 round!! A one night stand."
