::The GCW logo flashes on the screen as the words "Open the Gate" fade in and then out. Match clips from the fatal 4-way ladder match are shown, grabbing the fans attention with all the highspots. The video footage ends with Milan pulling the belt off the hook and falling to the mat as the crowd goes wild. As Milan clutches the belt and celebrates, William Ellis is heard saying "I'm sure he'll be a wonderful champion," with the word Champion echoing as the footage fades to black.
The camera fades back in to a shot of the GCW Evolution Championship with a nameplate reading Dave Milan. The crowd goes wild with cheers as the camera pans out to reveal Dave Milan standing alone with a broad smile on his face infront of the standard GCW curtain. Championship gold has certainly changed Dave for the better, as he is now once again clean shaven with cut hair. No longer is the haunting gaze of loss in his eyes, but rather an excitement for the present and future.::
Milan - Before I really get goin' tonight, I gotta say something. Ya'see, I hadda lot of doubt in my mind on whether I could win this belt. And at Open the Gate, you guys gave me one hell of an ovation! I honestly don't believe I could have won that match without you people on my side. That response was more than I ever imagined, and from the bottom of my heart, I wanna thank each and every one of you for supporting me throughout my match two weeks ago.
::The crowd cheers for themselves or for Milan, depending on how selfish they are.::
- That being said, let's move on to the big subject. Tonight is the aftermath of a great event, Open The Gate. If you didn't have the chance to see it, then you sure missed out! Excellent undercard and amazing title bouts, man, it was awesome! Talking about awesome, how great was that ladder match... that I won!?
::Milan chuckles as the crowd cheers::
- The thing is, now that I'm the Evolution champ it seems everyone is gunnin' for me. First, we've got The Ringmaster, who... I'll admit came close to winning it at Open the Gate. But, we've all heard it before and I hate to sound redundant but you came close, but no cigar, buddy. An almost victory is still a loss, regardless. If down the line we meet again, sure bro, I'll give you a shot. Looks like first you're gonna have to go through number 2 on my list, though. And that's Arik Arrogance.
Now Arik, I saw your comments earlier tonight, and buddy, what makes you think that I got you your suspension? Just 'cause you lost to me and then decided to go out there and interfere in the main event doesn't make this my fault at all. Ya know what I really think of you, Arik? I think you're some punk ass kid who didn't have to work for anything. Hell, did you even work to get yourself here, or did your money have to pave the way for that, too? I've said it before, we're from opposite sides of the spectrum, and it looks like once again that hard work beat out money. If you want to even get close to me, Arik, you've got to earn it!
And finally, above all else, despite the fact I've got these two men, and probably more coming at me, tonight I go one on one with...
::Dave pauses and looks off camera. The camera pans out to reveal Dave Hilt, GCW Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder, walking into the scene to a huge crowd reaction. The two respective champions stare each other down infront of the GCW curtain as the crowd eats up the tension between the two men. Neither man backs down from the other, staring intensely at the other. Milan slowly pulls his Evolution championship and holds it up for Hilt to see as the crowd goes wild. Hilt retaliates by raising his Heavyweight championship to an even bigger reaction! Finally Milan breaks into a smile and pulls his belt down away from Hilt::
- ...with Dave Hilt.
::Hilt pulls his belt down and extends his hand to Milan as the crowd, again, eats it up::
Hilt - Congratulations, that was one hell of a match.
::Milan shakes Hilt's hand, but neither man releases the grip as they continue to stand off::
Milan - Yours too, buddy. Belt looks pretty nice. I'll see you out there... champ.
::Milan breaks the handshake and walks away from Hilt as Hilt looks over his shoulder, detirmination and confidence in his eyes::
