A door opens and closes, Devlin stands resplendent on a bridge made of glass, a white room surrounding him, still in the card dealers uniform as he moves to a singular seat remaining in the room.
Devlin walks and takes a seat looking around said white room with a small purse of lips and then he waves to the camera.
"Hi there, it's me again, I'd planned to wait until a little later to do all this , but I realised, why not go big ..or go home right?"
A click of fingers and out comes another card table even as the surroundings become a little more green letting the cards stand out as Devlin keeps on shuffling again with a small sigh.
"So, let's cut to the chase guys and girls, There's not a whole lot of preparation you can do, over the top rope things are by their very nature chaotic, some of us, we thrive on chaos, thrive on the High Stakes nature of such things, others? They Prefer to weasel by pick their shots and others still? fade into the background because they feel it's 'not their time' or they aren't worthy'."
A snort of mild derision and he shakes his head with that happy go lucky smile even as he starts to deal cards idly, normal deck this time, no tricks no Tarot no fancy IWF custom prints.
"I don’t really brook that sorta negativity, you aim high and go as far as you can until you can't go anymore. And then you push harder until you can't go any further and then. You push again. the current phrase among the locker room is Forwards, always Forwards, I disagree I say up , up and away. That’s my policy."
Devlin shook his head gain and keeps playing patience with the cards, solitaire even whilst he keeps speaking.
"I mean everyone has a shot in this thing, everyone and already you can see who wants it, Me, Hawk, Spike Kane, they stood up bared their chests and said 'bring it on' but Already you know come the last hour you;'ll get a whole bunch of brave words and empty platitudes form the folk who don’t really want this, they just wanna make an appearance they figure they can sneak in their workout, say some corny token gesture and that will be enough... Spoilers ,It won't be enough."
Devlin smirks a bit and chuckles.
"This gig isn't like something you go in half assed for, I don’t care wo you are, really It's very man for himself in this match, because as the saying goes, there can be only one so you have to be ready to bet -everything- on the chance to go and face Noah... or Cable, My last promo had the assumption Cable might bide his time, I guess Karma’s a bitch isn’t it Noah? Some would even say you deserve every inch of the firestorm coming' your way."
Devlin gives very, very sarcastic applause ,mouth in a silent ' go you' giving a thumbs up to the camera as he looks back to the cards and turns one card over to reveal a Red joker.
"Insert trite cliché here, in reality ... that's what the winner of this match is, A joker in the pack, a wild card not -the- joker we have a whole other match, but the winner of this digs? They go on to challenge the Imperial title and become the top of the whole pile."
A soft, wry smile.
"So gentlemen, don't be shy, place your bets, Destiny awaits...and it's hungry. And I’ll see you soon, for part 3, I hope by then some of you will have realised just how serious to take this."
Devlin stands up slowly with a long slowly smirk and checks his watch before heading to the door , stripping off the dealer’s jacket to sling his normal attire back on, only this time he’s wearing official Devlin Raine Merchandise , moving slowly to the door he gives a slate gesturing to the ‘Destiny Dealt’ T shirt slowly turning to reveal another slogan on the back “No Fate”, Devlin winks and pulls on his jacket to push through the door.
