*The screen is black and then turns white. The WWE logo fades onto the screen and then fades out. The words "Proving Ground" come onto the screen. A man's voice seems to come from nowhere saying, "the next generation starts... NOW!"
The camera cuts to announcer's table.*
Rich Brennan: Ladies and gentleman, welcome to WWE Proving Ground. My broadcast partners tonight are former NXT Season 2 rookie, Byron Saxton...
Byron Saxton: Hello, Rich.
Rich Brennan: and current High Voltage interviewer, Renee Young.
Renee Young: Hi, Rich. I'm very happy to be here tonight.
Rich Brennan: Now everyone, we need to talk about last week. Last week it seemed like we saw a new side to Corey Graves. He was very agressive and repeatedly attacked the leg of Jay Lethal, what do you guys think is going on?
Byron Saxton: Well, we know Graves was out of action for a very long time due to a concussion. I think he was just letting everyone know that he is at 100% and that he is back and will be back at the top.
Renee Young: That's a possiblity but I feel as though there might be more going on. Maybe he has a problem with Jay Lethal because it seemed like Graves was trying to take him out.
Rich Brennan: I can see both sid-

Graves gets onto the apron and puts his leg through the ropes. Graves enters the ring without using his hands. Graves walks to the center of the ring and looks around.*
Corey Graves: You see those commentators? They've been saying things. They've been saying I showed a new side. What you saw last week wasn't new, it was just... me.
It doesn't matter if you've seen that side before but what does matter is that, that side has always been there. One thing that they said was true and it was something Byron Saxton said. I am back and I am at 100% and I will take back the spot that was taken from me. Last week, in my match against Jay Lethal, I was sending a message.
Jay received that message when he was told he couldn't compete tonight because of an injured leg. My message that I'm trying to send is that people deserve to feel the life I've been living for the last few months. I was laying on the couch in my apartment, watching as people were being given the opportunities I was supposed to have! Well, now all of them will be the ones laying at home, watching me rise to the top and be where I am meant to be.
*"Scorched Ops" by ROH starts playing. Jay Lethal comes onto the stage while using crutches. He has an ankle brace on his foot and he has a mic.*
Jay Lethal: Corey, I'm sorry to interrupt your sob story but I've been wanting to say something to you. Last week you attacked my leg over and over and you put me in that submission, and now I can't compete. I was told I can't be in a match tonight... but they didn't say I couldn't be at ringside. Earlier today was I able to talk to our GM, William Regal.
I asked him if I could choose your opponent for tonight and he said yes.
*Jay turns his head to the entrance way.*
Jay Lethal: Come on out, man.

Rich Brennan: What a dispicable act by Graves. What kind of person does that to another human being?
Byron Saxton: All I have to say is that he is called the "Savior of Misbehavior" for a reason. He is not a nice guy and he'll be the first to tell you that.
Renee Young: I don't understand Corey Graves at all. Why is he now showing this kind of aggression and anger?
Rich Brennan: Well, earlier he said he was sitting at home watching people get, and I quote, the opputunities he deserves. Maybe he's jealous of the former NXT Champion Adrian Neville who Graves was NXT Tag Team Champions with? I mean, after Graves got injured Neville became NXT Champion rather quickly.
Renee Young: That's a great point, Rich.
Rich Brennan: I believe it's time we move on. Last week we saw The Ascension go against the World's Greatest Tag Team, Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. The Ascension came out with the victory which I would assume puts them in close contention of the Proving Ground Tag Team titles. Tonight we just might see another team move into contention when we see the International Airstrike face The Motor City Machine Guns.
That match will take place after the break.
