Tag Team Champions....of the World!

Sickle Cell D-Mentia enters the arena, tag team titles in hand. Lanny leads the way as Nurse Betty follows behind.

Cullen McKnight slides into the ring underneath the bottom rope. Surgeon General #9 places a knee on to the apron and uses the middle rope to stand upright, walking over to the turnbuckle and climbing to the middle one before hoisting his tag team title high into the air.

The crowd reaction is mixed as usual when Sickle Cell D-Mentia is involved.

Lanny races around the ring, waddling as he goes, to take the microphone from the ring announcer.

He shuffles into the ring and stands proudly in between the co-champions. Pausing briefly before he begins to speak.

Lanny:" Eh, dere boiz and gurls. It's me....LANNY! I gotz me bois here with dat dere NLW tag team straps and we'z heres to makes us a publicalizationalized announcements."

Surgeon General seems to be flirting with his valet/nurse...Betty. Cullen McKnight gleams intently at the crowd.

Lanny:" Ahem, wif out furder adues, Sickle Cell D-Mentia is holding an open challenge. Dis challenges is opens fer anyone's wifout da names, Toxic Vengence and Supremacy. Dere waters under da bridge. Dat fling is over. Dey'll just have to live wifout dese guys kickin' 'em in da teef."

Surgeon has a smile contort and twist underneath his surgical mask. Cullen stands, body language unchanged.

Lanny:" So's, for da appropriately named "Sickle Cell D-Mentia Open", Des two guys dere going to let any twos of yas team up and try and face em. Maybe some a yas that ain't doin' so well in da singles division. Afta all, not everyone can beats up on dat Rabids and Cartoon Faces o' da world. Maybe Primal Concrete Sludgeamaface and Mudz wanna team up. Concretes and Muds go good tageders. Yah, maybe yous guys wanna take a shot at gettin' some gold? Well goils, heres ya chances. You beat us once. Nice, good fur youses. Dat means yous getsa shot at da straps dere. You don't. Wait ya toin. Dere'll be annuder day. Challenge again. Same goes for all yous bois in da back.

Cause at da end of de day, wif all your tries and guts and blood, we'll still be leavin' yous guys, ya makeshift wannabes, wif all ya hopes, dreams, and idears....We're leavin' yous in pieces."

The crowd boos Lanny. One might think that if Sickle Cell D-Mentia would just fire him or make him disappear they may become more popular.

Lanny:" Dat's all fer tonight. LANNY OUT!!"

The champions pose for the fans once again. Nurse Betty even gets in on the action by walking to the ropes, standing on the bottom one, leaning over toward the fans and throwing the lucky young men in the front row a kiss. Surgeon General #9 stops when he notices her attempt to give the fans what they want. He stares for a few seconds, seeming to admire the view, then as she turns around to make her exit from the ring, he seemingly repremands her by pointing a finger angerly at her and grabbing her by the wrist, leading her out of the ring. The two-time NLW Tag Team Champions take their leave and go back to the back, waiting to see who they'll face this night.
