The cameras fade back in from commercial as the Today Show logo appears on the screen. The set has been rearranged as the desks and chairs have now been replaced with makeshift wrestling ropes and ring posts surrounding five white chairs. The three chairs to the left are occupied, Hoda Kotb taking the right chair, Natalie Morales taking the left, and making a special appearance this morning, Carson Daly occupying the center chair. To their right sit two open chairs as they await their guests. The director points to Carson who turns to Camera 4 and begins to speak.

--- Carson Daly ---
“Welcome back to The Today Show and what a beautiful morning it is, we’ll check with Al Rocker in the weather center in about 10 minutes but I am very excited for our next guests. As some of you may know I used to dabble in the world of professional wrestling during some wild spring break parties back in the day, but our next guests do more than dabble in wrestling, it has consumed their lives.”

The camera switches to Hoda Kotb.

--- Hoda Kotb ---
“Our next guests have truly one of the wildest journeys to get to this point, full of more ups and downs than they’d both like to count, but today we focus on one of the biggest ups in not just their careers, but their lives.”

--- Natalie Morales ---
“From PRW Wrestling, ladies and gentlemen please welcome James and Rachel Roenick!”

The studio audience stands and begins to applaud as the opening notes of The Resistance by: Skillet begin to play softly throughout the soundstage. Rather than making a full wrestling entrance, the song starts at the chorus as a door opens to the left of the hosts. Rachel steps through first, followed by James, both dressed to the nines for their first public appearance since Superbattle. James is upright and moving much better than the last time we saw him, no longer in need of assistance from the wheelchair or even the cane. A visible smile can be seen on his face as well as the two walk hand in hand towards the “ring”. The hosts step out of their chairs as James holds open the flimsy and insanely loose ropes for Rachel who steps through. James stops for a second trying to figure out how exactly to navigate these prop ropes and eventually and very awkwardly steps between the top and middle ropes which droop down and almost engulf him as he steps through. The hosts and Rachel get a good chuckle at James’ gracefulness before they all shake hands and make their introductions. James and Rachel take their seats, James nearest to the hosts while Rachel sits on his left. The two lock hands as the music slowly fades out.

--- James Roenick ---
“In my defense, those ropes were not regulation size, and I was just able to walk without a cane like a week ago.”

The crowd begins to laugh.

--- Carson Daly ---
“James, Rachel, thank you both for being here this morning it is truly a pleasure to have you both here. This is your guys’ first appearance right?”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“Thank you for having us guys. Yeah this is both of our first time on The Today Show. Usually you guys book Cena so it’s nice to know we finally went over on him.”

--- Hoda Kotb ---
“Well you guys are not an easy pair to book for the show, especially recently with your schedules picking back up. Someone even competed in her first singles match in almost 10 years recently. Rachel can you tell us a little about Superbattle and what that was like? ”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“Yeah Superbattle was crazy but it starts a lot farther back with James. What a lot of people don’t know is that spot was supposed to be his, not mine.”

Carson turns his head, ears perking up as he looks to James.

--- James Roenick ---
“Yeah so I guess let me jump in here for a minute then I’ll give the spotlight back to my wife. So as some of you may know, at least the ones who have followed, my career, I’ve had a tendency to put myself in very stupid match types over the years. Lots of cages, ladders, weapons, and sharp objects and even know I did pretty well for myself in the ring and at the pay window, the last effects just kept building up on my body. In late 2016 came out to the ring at Bloodletting and told the world that I was dealing with the early stages of cervical spinal stenosis and that if I wasn’t careful, I could end up paralyzed from the neck down. So of course I did the best thing I could think of and started a Final Chapter Challenge. Basically I created a hitlist and said I’m going to take on all these guys and become the Undisputed Champion again before my body gives out. But in a predictable twist of fate, I didn’t get to finish the list as my body crapped out after just a few matches. I was a shell of myself and I needed to go get help.”

--- Natalie Morales ---
“Now when you say help you mean physically?”

--- James Roenick ---
“Yes and no. Obviously I needed physical help but what I’ve never told anyone was I needed a lot of mental and psychological help at that time. I was and still am very critical on myself and immediately after I issued the hitlist challenge, I regretted it and resented myself. On the one hand I was trying to have one last good run so my daughter could see Daddy as champion and so I could set us up financially where she could chase any dream she wanted. But on the other hand, I was risking ever holding her or Rachel again. I was risking the ability to walk her down the aisle at her wedding or hold my grandkids. So, I spiraled down pretty quickly and thankfully Rachel stayed by my side and we got me the help I needed.”

The crowd applauds.

--- Natalie Morales ---
“So what type of treatments did you have to go through?”

--- James Roenick ---
“Luckily I had a tremendous staff up at Cleveland Clinic who was willing to try some experimental things with me. Some of it very good, some of it set me back a little, which would explain the wheelchair at Superbattle. The picture got leaked online of me in the gym and that was probably a few months old at the point it got leaked out. But of course the internet was buzzing and I wasn’t ready to show my face in the wheelchair so Rachel volunteered to speak on my behalf.”

--- Carson Daly ---
“So I take it this is when the idea for you to take his spot in Superbattle came to be?”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“Not really, we did the interview and the only thing we planned was at the end. Everything else was 100% from my heart and I am thankful that James has allowed me to be so open about this whole thing. It has been a rough road but he is truly an inspiration and I am proud of my husband. But it was actually James’ idea to leave it kinda open ended and vague with regards to Superbattle because the doctors weren’t quite sure how long he would be in the chair. It was one of those cases where he had to endure a little bit of pain to get a lifetime of relief so we were just counting down the days and doing everything we could to try and get him ready.”

--- Hoda Kotb ---
“So ultimately when was the decision made for you to take his place? ”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“We didn’t officially make the decision until maybe two days before Superbattle. We had discussed it as a possibility and I have been getting ring ready for a while now but we weren’t sure how his body would react.”

--- Natalie Morales ---
“Well you were definitely a shock entrant and held your own really well against the new crop of PRW talent Rachel. How did it feel to be back in the ring?”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“Thank you, it was such a rush to be back in the ring but man has the competition level increased around here. The guys just keep getting bigger and bigger. Everyone is faster and stronger than before. The future is pretty bright for PRW. It was good to mix it up with a wide variety of the roster while also knocking some ring rust off. ”

--- Natalie Morales ---
“You were also one of two women in the match along with Regan Crowe. Both of you held your own very well, especially with Regan eventually winning the whole thing.”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“I think that is a testament to how strong women’s wrestling has been elevated over the past few years. We are capable of doing just as much as the guys can and I tip my hat to Regan. The girl is super tough and I know she may not like hearing this but she deserves that win. She is one of the toughest people, not women, people on the roster and I’m pulling for her at Summerfest. I hope she takes that belt home. ”

--- Carson Daly ---
“James, speaking of the championship match at Summerfest, what would have happened if Rachel would have won the whole thing?”

--- James Roenick ---
“Look at Carson trying to stir the pot and get me heat at home. No but all joking aside, I was hoping she did win it. She deserves this opportunity and this spotlight. She may not be as active of a wrestler as some of the other female competitors but Rachel can hold her own with both the men and the women. And besides, how cool would it be for us to become the first Husband and Wife combo to win the Undisputed World Championship?”

--- Hoda Kotb ---
“Well Rachel, let’s talk about this tweet you sent out. You teased that Summerfest may get a lot hotter this year.”

--- Rachel Roenick ---
“I may have teased it, but it isn’t my news to reveal.”

--- James Roenick ---
“So as you saw at Superbattle, I came out of that wheelchair a lot easier than people thought I would. At Superbattle I was close, and I mean very close to being back to normal, or at least as normal as I can be. A few days ago we went back to Cleveland Clinic, went through the impact tests and all that, and they gave me some interesting news. They told me I was healed. Fully healed. Not just oh you can walk without a cane healed, I mean 100% healed. So I asked him when I could come back to active competition and he said as early as Summerfest. So PRW Universe here is your major announcement. At Summerfest, James Roenick is back. I don’t know who I’m going to face and it honestly doesn’t matter to me. I am back and back on a mission.”

James rises from his chair.

--- James Roenick ---
“And that mission is the same as it always has been, The PRW Undisputed Championship. When I won that belt way back when, I wasn’t in a good place and I made a disgrace of myself and that title. Well now it’s time to right that wrong and make up for my mistake. I may be a little older but I’m still James Roenick. I’m still The Perfect One. And at Summerfest, I am going to prove once again, no matter who my opponent may be, That You Can’t Stop Perfection…..

And You Can’t

Stop

Me!”

The crowd comes to their feet screaming and clapping for James who looks directly down the barrel of the camera and shoots a simple smile and a wink. The camera switches to show only the hosts.

--- Carson Daly ---
“Massive news for PRW Summerfest, add James Roenick to the party! Stay tuned as we have more planned with the Roenicks when we come back on Today!:”

The scene fades out to black and then in to commercial…..to be continued……
