As the Four wait for JLA to catch up, they shake their heads. They turn back and begin to walk up the rampway but their approach is halted by a lightning bolt striking the entranceway! The Four fall backwards over MisterJLA as the CheeseDome goes dark and "Cemetary Gates" begins to play.
Monroe: You know what this means! Madman? Get out from under the table!
MarcuM: Are you sure it's safe?
The Dark Lords make their way out onto the ramp. Grimm's hands are dripping with blood. He pauses to hit the crucifix pose before wiping the blood off onto his fore head in an X. Then he begins to speak.
Grimm: Well, well, well. If it isn't the high and mighty Four! Cowards, one and all! That's right, I said cowards. How can this be? Let's go down the list.
First off, you have Doc. Mid-Shite. Now Mid-Shite was just moments ago telling us all how he was the real power behind the Triple Set! But let's look at the facts. The facts are, you got your ass kicked by the Hellions and you ran away! Check your neck? More like hide your neck!
And then there's the Allied Ponces, who've not only made running away a lifestyle choice, but elevated it into art form! I've already proven that Howdy's lost it, and JLA's running scared since losing the IC belt!
And last, but most certainly not least, we have. . .JOE MAMA. Joe Mama who got lucky at Anathema Wednesday and barely scraped by with his title. Joe Mama who ran away at Conniver Series leaving Nowhereman all alone to face his fate! Well, I finished off Nowhereman and now I'm coming for you, Joe.
You see I heard the challenge that your protege, PenWing issued out here earlier and I decided to take things into my own hands. So I "talked" to Pennie backstage.
Monroe: He talked to him backstage?
MarcuM: What does that mean?
Grimm: Boys in the back, if you would.
The Cheese-O-Tron comes to life as we see a closeup of PenWing's hockey jersey. The camera pans back to reveal PenWing, arms outstretched and cuffed to a pipe running along a wall. His face is covered in blood. There is a collective gasp as the audience realizes who's blood is covering Grimm's hands.
Grimm: That's right, as you can see, we came to terms backstage. So you see, it's not gonna be a ladder match at Arma Gadda Da Vida. What it will be, is a three way dance for the Big Cheese Title! So keep running scared boys, because time's running out for the Four! Abandon all hope.
"Cemetary Gates" hits again as the CheeseDome lights go down. When the lights go back up, the Dark Lords are gone.
