The atmosphere stalled to a darkish blue once again, and this time, all the fans knew who was coming out. "As a service to you... and at great expense to me... baggers, give them the bags. This crowd is... particularly revolting."
Rhodes then slowly got in the ring as the baggers handed out the paper bags. "Now, I'm just going to cut to the chase... I'm quite interested in that International Championship... but the problem is..."
The crowd booed him heavily.
"Shut up and put the bags on!"
More boos.
"Now... as I was saying... there is no man for me to defeat for that championship, so I want someone to come out here and book me a match on the 25th for that championship. I don't care who it's against."
He then sat in the ring and waited.

All of the sudden, Nothing hit. By now, the crowd knew what was coming and quickly began to cheer. Phillip emerged from backstage, holding a microphone. After walking down the ramp, staring dead into the eyes of Rhodes, Phillip entered the ring. His gaze never escaped Cody's as he began to speak.
PHILLIP PHILLIPS Cody, I accept your challenge. I will fight you for the vacant International Championship. But come on, this is a title match... we gotta do something with this. So, what do you propose? I'll let you choose the stipulation, since you're the challenger...
Phillip smirked as the crowd cheered and waited for Cody's reply.

Cody reeled at who came out to the ring. "Baggers... hurry the hell up and silence these idiots with those paper bags..."
The crowd booed at Cody's remarks.
"Phillip... I want first blood."
With that, Cody threw the mic down and went face to face with his future opponent.

Phillip smirked and watched as Cody exited the ring.
"First blood it is..." he muttered to himself, grinning mischievously.

AJ Styles suddenly an appearance on the stage with a mic in hand. He started clapping with a smile on his face.
AJ STYLES Wow, this is just amazing how I see this playing out. Well, if anyone hasn't already noticed that I'm here in EHDW, what a better way to kick off my career here than being a champion? I've been sitting in the back thinking about the match between you two... and to be completely honest, that match pretty much sucks. Who in the ring mind would want to watch a match between Cody Rhodes, a man who has lost touch within reality, and Phillip Phillips, just a failure in my eyes. So, here's an idea. Why don't we spice things up by putting me in the mix?
The crowd chanted AJ's name.
AJ Styles You hear these fans? They just want to see this match happening. And when I'm in the mix, we all know that The Phenomenal One is going to dominate and become the first ever International champion.

Rhodes looked at AJ styles with a smirk on his face.
"I wouldn't disagree with that ruling... however, the match is already final.... Phillip has already sealed his fate. I will complete my quest and forever carry a smear of Phillip's blood on my belt as the FIRST International Champion."
The fans booed Rhodes.
"And... as you know... I have a protective mask that I am required to wear whenever I compete. My victory this Sunday is inevitable."

AJ Styles shook his head and smiled.
AJ STY:ES Well, I can't argue with those facts, and I wish you luck, but I have an idea. Since our debut on Demolition is coming up, how about we face eachother in a match? So if I'm able to beat one of the contenders for the International Championship, I should be up in the rankings for a title shot against whoever wins. So what do you say, Cody?

"For the match on Demolition... I humbly accept. But, be warned. If you lose to me, do not expect an International title shot for as long as I am champion."

Phillip began to walk down the ramp, tuning out Henry and Rhodes' arguement. Not even acknowledging their match, Phillip immediately turned around and came to a realization.
PHILLIP PHILLIPS Wait a second... you said first blood? No way in hell, Cody. How the fuck am I supposed to bust you open with that mask? What do you say we have a 30-minute iron man match instead?
Phillip smirked at Rhodes, waiting for his reply.

Rhodes smirked back.
"Should have thought of that before you made the match..."

Phillip glared at Rhodes.
PHILLIP PHILLIPS First of all, douchebag, I never officially made the match yet. Second, exactly. Since I made the match, I can change it whenever and however I want. Are you just afraid you won't be able to secure enough pinfalls in so little time? I bet you can't even win a match in 10 minutes.
Phillip began to breathe heavily in frustration.

Rhodes chuckled to himself... "You're just scared that I'll bust you open all over the damn place, aren't you? Fine. We'll give you more of a change... three stages of hell."
The crowd cheered at this.
"The first match... a last man standing match. The second, an I quit match. Go ahead, pick the third."

Phillip grunted.
PHILLIP PHILLIPS Cody, we already have a three stages of hell match. And I don't want to do something extreme, because this isn't the main event. But I'll accept anyways, since you're probably just gonna change it to something even worse...
Phillip continued to glare angrily at Cody Rhodes.
PHILLIP PHILLIPS The final stage will be...
Phillip paused, grinning at the crowd.
PHILLIP PHILLIPS A normal, one-on-one match.
Phillip grinned, and the crowd seemed even more confused as he exited the arena.
