The Extinct Light
Since the TFR vs. BCW Tournament, Nero had nowhere to go for a while... that is until Amakusa Elite Wrestling showed up and did a much needed shake-up on the balance of the industry into the side of light, and Nero knew who he had to root for now.

Episode 1

Coming out to the ring in his new suit, Nero addresses the audience on what he does NOT want to talk about: "the fed", Wright's scummy tricks, Pegasus cowardly walking away. But what he does want to talk about, is the future. The future of this home for everyone worried about the state of this business, those that believe in Okonogi's projects and vision, those that believe in great young competitors, names like Rance, Kaidou, and Komaeda even. They were mistreated, they didn't get any opportunities. They had the brass ring elude them. But no more, this is the place where dreams are real and opportunities infinite. And what could prove that better than a WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT.

Nero, however, has other obligations... in sharing the spotlight with someone else later that night, someone that has held prestigious gold in the past. For that someone that will face the Grandson of Sparda is none other than "The Silent Badass".

Episode 2

What he does want to talk about today, is the great match they got to see last week. He had heard a lot about this "silent badass", and the rumors were, in truth, right. He had to hit three Cross Spardas, and maybe, just maybe, if he was a bit luckier, if he hit his finisher, or Nero was a bit slower, things could've gone differently. That's the kind of people that move AEW forward, and AEW's the kind of place that makes that talent flourish upwards. And after remembering that match with the crowd and coming hot of a trios match, he wanted to enjoy the audience a bit longer (your local sports team rocks btw) and give the man a personal thanks. And Arikado comes out into the ring with Nero... but it is not to give thanks, but to silently reject it and push Nero's hand away...

Episode 3

So... what does the audience want to talk about? Because he's here to talk about respect. Respect might be earned, but there's things naturally bigger than one, and perhaps the most importan one... is the sacred sport of Professional Wrestling, especially here in AEW. Above else, professionals are asked to respect the sport, but someone refused to give that respect here recently, not just to Nero or the audience, but wrestling itself. And as the prodigal son of wrestling's biggest Royal Family, he can't allow that, so he'll ask Alucard to come to the ring once again, not for the handshake but for a full course on respect in the ring. And if he has the balls... Nero will even put his trios title up if he can find two partners, if he is indeed a "silent badass" and not a coward. And then...

From behind! As Amakusa points, it's Phillip Butters, despite J. Witcher confusion's, wrestling megastar Philips Butter emerging behind Nero! And look at JJ not far behind, J. Witcher still as lost, they're both looking to sow chaos here! The Butcher and The Blade! They must be aligned with Alucard looking to respected an acknowledged! As J. Witcher fears, they might even be... a threat to the very foundation of professional wrestling.
