Adonis turns his attention to the masled man, he nails a super kick followed by rapid chair shots. As he was about to hit another shot, the chair was pulled from the back by Karmello. The two stared deep into each other's eyes one last time before they started their squabble yet again.

"Why don't you just stop, Huh? You can't hang on my level. You know it, I know it, they all know it."
The tension was genuinely increasing, and Karmello couldn't handle it. Adonis was something he wasn't used to, A star shinning so bright it made him second guess if he was truly the future of WWL now since Adonis had arrived in the mix. It was bad enough that Bron, another promising Superstar had arrived. But now, even Adonis had arrived.

The crowed erupted in heavy boos at the sight of what they just witnessed. Issac turned his sight to Karmello Hayze.
The two exchanged glances before exiting the ring together, leaving behind a broken Adonis. On the ramp, they pass Roxannah Lopez, Korra Jadde and Akira Jackson as the trio runs to the ring to be with Adonis.
As Issac Scotlyn reaches the backstage area he sees a Cameraman and tells him to come closer.
"Look, I ain't gonna wait till next week to tell you why I did what I did. Adonis, you're a cool kid, you got a bright future in WWL. But when you've been in the game as long as I have, you come to realize that the better someone is than you at something,the more opportunities they're going to take from you. Before you came along, I was the number one contender for the title you just won tonight. And I would've won that title had I been fully locked-In like i was when my gamg got fired. But you came along and me dependent on you, you made me weak. And I hate that, I'm sorry. But I had to do what I had to do In order to break out of your shadow. Even if that means I had to help a bustard like Mello."
And just like that, Issac left the Camaraman and left the NCT universe in shock as well as curiosity on how will Adonis respond.
