Ed Fire walks to the centre of the ring and begins to speak.
“Well... This wasn't hard to predict. Of course, we were going to be the first ever team from NHW to participate in the ICON Tournament. Me and my brother here are one of, if not, the most talented team on the roster and we thank all of you fans for your support in getting us there. Tony, any words?” Ed Fire asks his brother, with a smile on his face.
"Well Ed, it's no coincidence our entrance theme is ‘Epic’ because we truly are, we are the epiphany of ‘epicness.’ But don't mistake this for arrogance or us being smug, we are truly grateful for the support of our fans and the people who have supported us, but for those who have doubted us-"
Tony Fire is suddenly interrupted as Polaroid walks out also with microphones in their hands, they get into the ring while the crowd sends heat towards them, heavily. Baxter Raynes raises the microphone while staring and chuckles at the Fire brothers.
“It's funny you should mention people that doubt you... Because, Pierce and I have no faith in either of you guys, mainly because you're both talentless, crowd ass-kissing cowards. If a real challenge was to step up, you'd panic and run like the pathetic specimen you both truly are." Tony gets angry while Ed tries to hold him back, Tony walks to the ropes and storms up to Baxter.
"Who the hell, are you calling a coward? You're the ones who come bursting out here by surprise, not man enough to take us on when we're expecting it, you have to attempt to attack us from behind?! That's pretty damn cowardly if you ask me..." Pierce Aylward then steps in front of Baxter and stares into Tony’s eyes, he then begins to speak.
"Maybe, just maybe, we should settle this right here, right now?" Pierce says, extending his arms to the side trying to persuade him to fight.
"There's no maybe about it!" Tony shouts, while the crowd begins to cheer and chant for Fire Stadium. Ed again tries to calm Tony down, but Tony tells him to let go and does so, Ed then looks to Polaroid.
"Now, I'm going to speak on behalf of my brother here... We want nothing to do with either-”
"No, no way, you know what… You guys talk pretty damn big when you're together, let's see how you handle an ass kicking one-on-one, Pierce… At the next event, I want you and me, right here, where I'm standing and it's going to be a true test, of who is man enough to beat the other... Because, I sure as hell am NOT backing down!" The fans start to get rowdy once again cheering for Fire Stadium, while Ed looks to them as Pierce looks at Baxter, the Polaroid members nod to each other and Pierce looks back at Tony with a smirk on his face.
"If that's the way you want it, that's the way it's going to be. But, what I will say is, get used to the ceiling lights, because after our match… You're going to be staring at them with no memory of what happened and another loss on your record!” Polaroid then get out of the ring and slowly make their way to the back while staring and smirking at Fire Stadium, Ed shouts at them while Tony continues to stare at them with fury in his eyes.
