{ King}
Welcome ladies and gentlemen this is breakdown I am Jerry “The King” Lawler and this is my broadcast partner good old “JR” Jim Ross. What a night we have in store for the fans to night wouldn’t you say JR.

{ JR}
Yes I would king we are going to see some interesting matches to night and let me tell you some of the matches that we have in store for you tonight. We will see The Electrifying Rock go toe to toe with the XWL Heavyweight Champion Edge. We will also see a queen of the ring match AJ Lee v.s. Kaitlyn. Next we have The Samoan Bulldozer Umaga going against William Regal.

{ King}
Your right JR but are you forgetting we also have a returning diva. We don’t know when she will show herself to us but what we do know is that she will be in for the match of her life against the 100% Stratusfaction Trish Stratus. And JR may I say this match ……..



*Before King can finish talking a familiar theme hits



*After about a minute Mickie James appears on the stage

{ JR}
Oh my god King look who it is!!!! It’s Mickie James!! Mickie has returned to XWL and it looks like she is ready for this night to begin.



*Mickie gets in the ring and calls for a mic

{ Mickie}
WOOOO!!!!! Hey ladies and gentlemen. Its been a long time since I been a superstar here in the XWL. Let me tell you it feels really good to be back here in action.

*Mickie looks out into the crowd as they cheer

{ Mickie}
Lets get to business though the reason I came back was to prove that I can be the best and beat the best. Now I know we have a lot of great divas here and I get to go against one of the best tonight. Trish Stratus!!! It is going to be an honor to step in the ring with her again.

{ Mickie}
But lets face it the last time we were in the ring she got the better of me. Now that I am back it is going to be different and I am going to win this time. And after I win this match I am going to focus on bigger things. Like being at the top of the list with all the other great divas and winning the XWL Divas Championship. But before I can get there I have to go through the best here.



*Mickie pauses and chuckles as the crowd chants Mickie

{ Mickie}
So when Trish steps in the ring with me I know she will have hitting winning on her mind but that just isn’t going to happen. Because I’m going to steal the match by hitting the Mic DDT. So Trish I’m sorry that I have to break bad news to you but you aren’t going to win this match but on the other hand there is some good news atleast you will get to step in the ring with the me the Mickie James.

{ Mickie}
But for now its time for me to go back to the locker room and prepare for my match. And as for you Trish I hope our ready for this match because this is gonna be the match of your life. This match will be HARDCORE!!!!



*Mickie drops the mic as her theme plays

*BreakDown fades away from Mickie James in the ring.*



*AJ Lee is shown walking the halls before her Queen of the Ring tournament match with her supposed best friend Kaitlyn tonight.*

[Cameraman] AJ!

*AJ seems to be in her own world as she walks right by the cameraman, after roughly 5 seconds she backtracks into view.*



[AJ Lee] ...You rang?

[Cameraman] Uhh, I was wondering if I could get a couple of thoughts from you heading into your match with Kaitlyn tonight.

[AJ Lee] Sure!



[Cameraman] Great! Tonight in your match against Kaitlyn, it seems like it's a long time in the making. And with this being a match in the Queen of the Ring, all of the chips are in, how are you feeling going into this match and how do you think you will fare against Kaitlyn this time round?

*AJ lets out a big smile.*



[AJ Lee] Kaitlyn...



[AJ Lee] She's great! Isn't she?! I mean, she's athletic, charismatic, funny, she's a former Divas champion in XWL. She's everything the XWL fans could ask her and that's why I like and respect Kaitlyn so much, I'd never say a bad thing about her! Tonight we're going to tear it up in the ring like the Chickbusters always do because we're going to continue to re-define women’s wrestling in XWL! And whether it's me or my fellow Chickbuster, one of us are going to wind up as the queen of XWL and I can't wait! Not only that, oh no, the winner also gets Maryses' Money in the Bank briefcase, who was Maryse again? Ah, it doesn't even matter because Kaitlyn and I will show why we're the divas to keep an eye on! Hell, maybe if I win the briefcase I could give it to Kaitlyn? She deserves it! She deserves to have her name cemented in XWL's legacy, a true legend who I'm honoured in facing tonight. Is that a good enough answer?

[Cameraman] That, err, definitely wasn't the answer I was expecting..

*AJ lets out a little laugh and tilts her head to the right before saying in an un-nerving tone.*



[AJ Lee] ...Why?

[Cameraman] Well, it's just, all of those things you've said about Kaitlyn as of late. How she wasn't there for you when you were gone, how she stuck around on TV while you were nowhere to be seen. You even said you wanted her to leave the company last week!



[AJ Lee] Oh, no no no! You must be mistaken my good cameraman, I wouldn't say something like that about Kaitlyn. We've been friends for so long, we have so much in common, we even went to comic con before! I was the one who brought her into XWL and we've had a hell of a run together. Taking on dastardly fiends like Natalya, Michelle McCool and Layla. She's my partner in crime, always has been and always will be! Ever since I came back to XWL after my little.. mishap.. with Beth Phoenix, we've been tearing this place up together!

[Cameraman] But.. you did.. The footage doesn't lie, last week you said, and I quote.. “And if you want to be the true friend that you say you are, you would do me the biggest favour of all and LEAVE this company!”

*The smile instantly vanishes from AJ's face once he stops talking.. She looks down and scratches her head and sniffles, she turns away from the camera and when she turns back her eyes are welled up and she talks in a very dis-heartened tone.*

[AJ Lee] Wh.. Why would you say that? Why did you say those horrible things?!

*It goes awkwardly silent for a few seconds.*

[Cameraman] I was just quoting what you said, AJ..

*Right as the cameraman says that AJ begins to full on cry! She turns at an angle away from the camera as she covers her eyes as tears begin to stream down her face.*

[Cameraman] No! AJ! Don't cry! I was just-

[AJ Lee] Just trying to make me feel HORRIBLE?!

*AJ lets out a loud hysterical cry at this point the camera can be seen looking left to right, obviously seeing if anyone is around to help.*

[AJ Lee] Why is everyone out to get me? What have I done to deserve this treatment, you're just a cameraman.. Why are you making up these rumours?! You're just trying to distract me before my match!

[Cameraman] I'm not! I'm really not! I'm just doing my job, really, don't cry AJ! Come on! You'll do great in your match..

*AJ sniffles and looks up at the cameraman with wide eyes.*

[AJ Lee] You really think so?...

[Cameraman] Uhh, sure!

*AJ lets out a big smile again and wipes the tears from her eyes, she does an overdramatic shrug before saying.*



[AJ Lee] Well if you say so, thanks!

*AJ waves at the cameraman and skips out of view as the sound of her skipping away gets more and more distant.*

Normal Match


Randy Orton Vs Rob Van Dam

*The camera opens up onto Alberto Del Rio exiting another of his many cars with a scowl on his face, he closes the door and starts walking before bumping into a man with his back turned.

{Alberto Del Rio}
Watch it!

*Before Del Rio can finish his rant the man turns around and it's Ricardo Rodriguez! Del Rio becomes even more infuriated.

{Alberto Del Rio}
What did I tell you last week?! Are you stupid?! Deaf?!

{Ricardo Rodriguez}
Listen Alberto! I'm sorry! Give me another chance this week! Please!

*Ricardo drops to his knees and begins pleading with Alberto.

{Ricardo Rodriguez}
Being your ring announcer is my life!

*Alberto Del Rio's face turns from anger to an almost smile.

{Alberto Del Rio}
Okay, listen, you can accompany me to the ring but under no circumstances do you get involved in my match and you do not get to announce for me this week, understand?

{Ricardo Rodriguez}
Thank you Alberto! Thank you!

{Alberto Del Rio}
Now get my bags out of my car and meet me in the locker room!

{Ricardo Rodriguez}
Si!

*Ricardo scampers off to the car as Del Rio looks on and shakes his head with a look of disappointment but still maintaining a grin before he turns from the camera and walks off. The camera cuts to the announcer's table where JR and King.

{JR}
If you're lost on what just happened last week on XWL.com Alberto told Ricardo not to show up here on BreakDown until after the PPV but I guess Ricardo's groveling convinced him otherwise and he'll be accompanying him to the ring for his match against Damien Sandow.

{King}
Well appealing to the man's dominate side might be Ricardo's only chance of keeping his job! We'll have that match later on but right now we need to take a commercial break!

*The show fades into a commercial break.

*Breakdown returns from a video package for the main event before being taken backstage where both Kharma and Raisha Saeed are shown standing in front of a camera.*



{Raisha Saeed}
Last week, Kharma did exactly what I said she would do, she destroyed Daffney in the middle of the ring. Kharma showed no mercy and she continued to assault a defenseless Daffney. Kharma is an unstoppable tool of destruction and anybody who stands in her way will get ran over with ease. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did Daffney, it's not everyday that somebody lasts longer than five minutes against the true anti-diva of XWL. What was really a surprise, however, was that not a single word was heard from the mouth of Beth Phoenix after Kharma's dominant performance last week. Are you scared, Beth? Did you finally realize what you have gotten yourself into?



{Raisha Saeed}
Beth, Kharma is not here to win championships, she's not here to make friends, she's not here to entertain these people, she's here to cause destruction and to leave broken bodies where ever she pleases. There's a reason Kharma isn't in the Queen of the Ring tournament and you were, it's because you are slowly becoming what you hate, as much as it may hurt to admit, you are now a diva. There was once a Beth Phoenix who didn't care what people thought of her, she didn't care about winning championships. That version of you is long gone and you've been replaced my this hypocritical diva. If this is the Beth Phoenix that wants to face Kharma in a match, you would get eaten alive.



{Raisha Saeed}
All you have to do is admit this was a foolish act on your part and maybe, just maybe, Kharma won't tear you limb from limb or will your arrogant pride get the best of you once again? Just quit while you're ahead, cut your losses and run, run as far away as you possibly can before you make the mistake of going through with your plan to face Kharma. Listen up because I'm only going to say this once, if your ignorance forces you to want a match against Kharma, you won't be fighting to win, you'll be fighting to survive. It won't be a match, it won't be a fight, it will be a battle for survival and if you're even slightly lucky, you will be able to walk out of the arena under your own power. Remember this Beth, karma is a bitch.

*Kharma laughs manically before returning to a far more serious expression. Both Kharma and Raisha walk off camera as Breakdown fades to a commercial break.*

{Out of nowhere the theme song of Damien Sandow strikes down with force, sending the crowd into a booing state. Here in Cleveland they seem to recognize Sandow as a villain of the company, and he gets the just reaction as such. He withdraws himself from behind the shrouds of the curtains and begins speaking in the same fashion we have grown accustom to from him as of late.}



[Damien Sandow] Allow me to beg your indulgence for one moment. My name is Damien Sandow, and I am the intellectual savior of the unwashed masses. Last week a shed a spoonful of light onto a problem the size of an entire bowl. The mask of Matt Classic was partially removed, thus moving one step closer towards spreading truth about the identity of Matt Classic. It may appear to the viewer at home that I have failed, as we know that Matt Classic does not simply own one mask. He owns many, as this week he will appear without a trace of the prior events in which I partially tore his mask. However, he has now lost a piece of himself, he may never return to the days prior to our seeing of part of his face. That piece, that was not of a 100 plus year old man, My expertise may not be in the field of skin, but surely he would have wrinkles had he been the age he claimed. Thus proving Matt Classic is a fraud, and thus taking the first step towards wisdom in regards to his identity. In fact, this was a great victory indeed. Nonetheless, I would not be worthy of the high position affiliated with intellectual savior if I did not complete my task. This is why I promise later tonight that Matt Classic will be brought to justice.



[Damien Sandow] At this time, allow me to fill your mind with knowledge, unrelated to Matt Classic, but very much related to an identity. That identity, is the X-Treme Championship. It is with pleasure that I observe Ezekiel Jackson retaining his championship against the mindless imbeciles he is pitted up against. The mere thought of any singular opponent he has faced being a challenge is an offense to human reason. A man of weakness, a man of no educational value, a man who serves no true purpose on this world, that defines Ezekiel Jackson. He is a shame to the championship he holds and does not deserve to be referred to as champion. Upon my meeting with Ezekiel Jackson, I will hold him accountable for his actions against the X-Treme Championship. He forces it to appear to be of the same kind of idiocy as himself, slamming a harmless interviewer into a locker, rampaging on countless occasions, it is safe to say that Ezekiel Jackson is incapable of any form of self-respect. His actions down-grade his own moral character and he holds no value in aspect to a championship in need of a savior. Ezekiel Jackson seems to not take his dealings with the X-Treme Championship seriously, and I will be pleased to inform him that his reign as champion as ended upon his defeat at the hands of the righteous.



[Damien Sandow] In other matters, this appears to be a reoccurring question for this point in time. People are constantly inquiring towards my actions in the department of Santino Marella. As you may see, Santino symbolizes that which I can not stand, ignorance, stupidity, and his mockery of this business when he performs entrances that are the sole possession of others is ridiculous. And while this all may seem very disturbing to you, the most disturbing part is that you all seemed to follow his trance. You cheered him on in his antics and encouraged his actions. I knew he was sending off society in a downward spiral, continuing the trail which leads to disaster. I stepped in to save all of you, I freed you from the hands of that ignoramus. His spell was broken and in thanks to me, he no longer has the ability to force you into his dirty mind games.



[Damien Sandow] And by eliminating Santino Marella from the scene, I ensured the possession of the X-Treme Championship remain in the hands of a formidable foe for simply taking the championship from a being as powerless as Santino Marella would not be an act of class. However, given my superior mind, I foresee an event... In the nearby future, my opportunity will come. The X-Treme Championship match I have searched for will be mine, I will possess the opportunity the world needs: For Ezekiel Jackson to lose his grip on the X-Treme Championship and cease to hold it back. It is my duty, for I am performing it for all of you, so that you may live in a better, more sophisticated world.

{Ignoramus! Ignoramus! Ignoramus}



{Sandow hears these chants, not liking their taste, he fires back with a response.}

[Damien Sandow] Thank you for your irrelevant opinions! You see not the error of your ways, I am your savior, I am upon this very stage in attempt to rescue you all from your falling standards. If not for me not one soul would attempt such a complicated task similar to the feat of saving mankind. However, seeing that you see it as you do, you reject the word of the wise, I shall not privilege you with my words. You're welcome!



{Damien Sandow's theme song hits once again, signalling his departure. Sandow seems displeased with the fans, as do they with him. The mutual feeling between the two is evident, but we have to fade to commercial break.}

Not my best, but this was a tough week with school coming back and stuff.

*Beth Phoenix's arm is raised in victory by the referee as she stands victorious over Molly Holly.*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
What an impressive performance by Beth Phoenix here tonight!

[Jim Ross]
The match was a great one and this is a big victory for The Glamazon over the veteran Molly Holly. In many people's minds this is a dream match that we just witnessed right there.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
You're right JR, and speaking of dream matches, how will Beth Phoenix respond to Kharma after what was said by her associate Raisha Saeed earlier tonight?

[Jim Ross]
It looks like we're about to find out the answer to that one King.

*Beth Phoenix has grabbed a microphone and begins to speak as her music fades away.*



[Beth Phoenix]
Kharma... Raisha Saeed... I hope you were both watching that just now. I effortlessly defeated one of the all-time greats in women's wrestling. Now I saw what you had to say earlier on Saeed, and to be honest with you, it made me laugh. You think that just because I didn't have an interview or any mic time last week that I'm scared? Please... If silence means I'm scared then how do you explain Kharma? I don't think I've ever heard her speak. Why does she need you to do all her talking? Maybe she's the one who's scared. Or maybe, she's too dumb to speak. Maybe she lacks the intelligence to string together a sentence. But I'm not here to judge that.



[Beth Phoenix]
I respect everything Kharma has done in her career so far, but lately she's changed. And the two of you are starting to annoy me. If I can beat Molly Holly - who to me is a legend in this business - just imagine the match Kharma and I could have. It would be one for the ages. We could have a match that would live in the memories of the fans for generations and bring some much needed attention to the divas division. But instead of agreeing to the match, you just continue to threaten me and talk a lot of trash. Why? Is it because Kharma is threatened by me? Is she afraid that she'd lose her label as one of the most dominant females in the world if she were to face me inside this ring? Whatever the reason, your threats are pathetic. Why don't you come out here and act on them right now?

*The crowd pops in a big way. Beth turns her attention to the ramp as she patiently awaits a response.*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
If Kharma was to come out now, this whole thing could explode!

[Jim Ross]
And I for one would love to see that King!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
And judging by the fans' reactions, so would they!

*After a minute or so has passed, Beth once again raises her mic upwards.*



[Beth Phoenix]
That's what I thought. Kharma isn't the dominant competitor that you claim she is. She used to be one of the greatest women to ever set foot in this ring. But now... Now she's a woman who just looks the part of a destructive monster, and to keep up her image she preys on the weak. When someone like me steps up to the plate, she doesn't want any of it. She's afraid of legitimate competition. Kharma is now a coward. And not only is she a coward... Raisha, earlier tonight you said something which hit the nail right on the head... Kharma is a bitch!

*No sooner had Beth finished her sentence, but the eerie laugh of Kharma can be heard as her music plays.*





*Kharma and her associate Raisha Saeed appear at the top of the stage. Kharma with her eyes firmly fixed upon The Glamazon with an unfaltering stare, and Raisha with her arms outstretched yelling something inaudible in a way as thought he fans are supposed to behold the monstrous behemoth. The fans are cheering at the possible confrontation between the two women. Beth appears confident and lets out a snide smirk as Kharma begins her slow descent down the entrance ramp.*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Uh-oh! Here comes Kharma!

[Jim Ross]
Look at her! That woman is a physical specimen like none I have seen before. The size of Kharma and her brute strength are intimidating to anyone, but Beth Phoenix appears as confident as ever.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well, The Glamazon is no string bean herself JR, and she too is as strong as they come. But I think Kharma may prove too much even for her. She's twice her size!

*Kharma and Saeed are now in the ring. The music has stopped playing and all that can be heard is the fan's cheers. Beth Phoenix and Kharma step towards one another. They stand toe to toe. Phoenix has to look upwards and the huge beast who looks down upon her. Saeed is in the background trying to dictate Kharma's attack, screaming at Kharma to take out The Glamazon.*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
This is crazy JR! This atmosphere is intense! And listen to these fans!

[Jim Ross]
This is an epic confrontation between two of the very best female wrestlers in the world King. This is an historic photographic opportunity if I ever saw one.

*The two women continue to stare a hole through the other, and the tension is thick in the atmosphere. Finally, movement is made and Kharma goes for a quick spinning backfist, but Phoenix ducks and ends up behind Kharma. She hooks both of her arms and attempts to lift her for the Glam Slam!*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
No way!

[Jim Ross]
Can she do it? Can she get her up?!

*Beth tries several times to lift the huge Kharma but is unsuccesful. Kharma's face becomes one of rage. She quickly swivels around and much to Saeed's delight delivers a huge knee to the gut of Phoenix. Phoenix is doubled over in pain as Kharma hooks both her arms around her midsection and lifts her upwards before dropping her downwards in one swift motion delivering an Awesome Bomb with a sickening thud to the canvas. Phoenix's head bounces off the mat as Saeed squeals with delight. The fans roar in disappoval.*

[Jim Ross]
Bah gawd! What a sickening Awesome Bomb! Phoenix is out of it!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Out of it? Did you see the way her head bounced off the mat? She may need some medical attention JR!

[Jim Ross]
It doesn't look like Kharma is through yet King... they're heading out here.

*Kharma drags Phoenix outside the ring to the ringside area close to the announce table. The Glamazon is nothing but dead weight at this point. Saeed continues to shout instructions towards Kharma who has a sinister expression on her face. JR and The King scramble for cover as Kharma removes the table cover and the monitors with one hand, while keeping the unconcious Phoenix under her other arm.*

*Once the table is clear, Kharma puts Phoenix into position... hooks both her arms... lifts her upwards, while Phoenix is suspended in the air in a moment that seems to last forever... before slamming her downwards delivering a devastating Implant Buster through the announce table! Debris and pieces of the table fly everywhere as the sickening impact is made. A huge chant of "Holy Shit!" begins to echo around the arena as Kharma regains her feed with a sadistic yet satisfied smile upon her face. Saeed as overjoyed at the carnage. A lifeless Beth Phoenix remains motionless in a crumpled heap among the remains of the announce table. Several of the fans are rightly concerned for Phoenix's wellbeing and appear shocked into silence.*

*The camera shows a close up of Kharma's sadistic expression for a few moments before the screen fades to black for a commercial break...*

{Breakdown returns to sight as we see Justin Roberts finishing up his announcement of a match to take place. The fans are excited, but not in favor of either man, however Del Rio's theme song hits to their dismay.}



{Del Rio progresses down towards the ring with Ricardo trailing behind, Ricardo clearly uneasy. Alberto slips into the ring while Rodriguez takes his position as manager. Both men seem ready for this match now, and Sandow's theme song then hits.}



{Damien Sandow then begins to move himself towards the ring. The same manner as always, and a spotlight follows him towards the ring. Sandow slips into the ring and performs his signature bow into a cartwheel into his hands in a similar position to that which Randy Orton used to do. The bell then rings and we are prepared to launch this match up.}

Normal Match


Alberto Del Rio Vs Damien Sandow

Both men stare down before tying up, Del Rio gets the advantage by wrenching the arm of Sandow behind his back with a hammerlock hold. He twists his arm until he forces him down to his knees where Del Rio releases the hold and fires off a boot to the arm. Del Rio backs up and panders to the crowd causing them to boo at him, not because they like Sandow but because of the hate they have for Del Rio. Alberto turns around right into a solid right from Sandow! He fires off another one and the delivers a big knee right to the stomach followed by a double axe handle dropping Del Rio to the mat and follows it with a swift kick to the stomach and follows with a quick cover but Alberto gets his shoulder out at one. Del Rio scrambles to his feet but gets caught in a scoop slam, driving Alberto into the mat. Damien flips him over and drops down driving his elbow into the back. Del Rio hops to his feet holding his back stomping around the ring trying to make some fake allegations to referee before Sandow had enough of this and charges in but is met with a poke to the eye fro Alberto. Sandow staggers back but as Del Rio moves in he's met with another right! Sandow seems to have Del Rio's number, preventing him from having almost zero offense so thus far. Sandow drives Alberto in the corner and starts teeing off with lefts and rights before Del Rio staggers out of the corner and delivers a swift kick to the gut before putting him in a front face lock and lifted him for a suplex and driving him into the mat, he floats over and covers him 1......2.......No! Del Rio is grabbed by the arms and is dragged into the center of the ring and Sandow leaps and drops a knee onto Del Rio's skull and covers him 1.....2.....Del Rio again gets his shoulder off the mat. Del Rio starts dragging himself towards the corner and pulls himself up. Sandow charges in but Alberto pulls the referee in the way! Sandow starts yelling at the official calling him an "Idiot". Sandow walks to the center of the ring and lifts Del Rio up and then turns around to see Ricardo sliding into the ring with a steel chair! Ricardo swings the chair!!!

{JR}
Wow! What a dodge!

{King}
No!

Sandow ducked down! Alberto gets smacked over the head with a steel chair! Sandow grabs Ricardo by the collar and throws him over the top rope from the ring. Sandow lifts an almost lifeless Alberto and grabs Del Rio's arms and twists him into a Straight-Jacket Neckbreaker!! He covers 1........2.........3!!!

Winner:

*Alberto seems completely dazed from the chair shot dragging himself to the ropes as Sandow's music plays and walks out before turning to the ring and bows towards Alberto. Del Rio seems to become even more infuriated than we've recently seen him and turns to Ricardo who is already on his knees begging for mercy. Alberto gets to his feet and walks towards Ricardo who is crawling away before being backed into a corner. Del Rio slaps him across the face and begins screaming at him in Spanish and firing slap after slap. Ricardo crawls out the ring and stumbles over the barrier and sprints through the crowd. Del Rio does not pursue him but kicks the bottom rope and continues screaming while holding his head from the chair shot. The show fades to commercial as Del Rio walks out of the ring.

Chris Jericho's theme hits across the arena, to a negative reaction from the audience



Chris Jericho emerges from behind the curtain


He makes his way down to the ring, not paying attention to any of the jeering fans.


Jericho waits for the crowd to die down, before beginning to speak.


[Chris Jericho]
Now that you've gotten that out of you, I have something to say..So listen closely. In just 2 weeks time, You will be looking at a New XWL Champion. I will finally get the recognition that I deserve. Yet you people, are still yet to show me the respect. Soon you will no choice but to respect me, and treat me like the Champion I will become. There isn't a thing any of you can do about it, there isn't a thing anybody in the chamber can do about it.


[Chris Jericho]
I've waited too long for this, ever since I was screwed out of the title against CM Punk.. I've waited for this moment. Not one person in this company, deserves that title more than me, not Edge, not Shawn Michaels.. and certainly not some unknown rookie like Seth Rollins. You parasites can cheer for who you want, you can boo me all you want, but it isn't going to change a thing. I will walk out XWL Champion at Eye for an eye....

Just as Jericho is about to continue to speak he is cut off..






Rollins walks out from the back but is all business. Instead of his usual dancing entrance he makes a beeline for the ring. The crowd cheer for Rollins as Jericho looks on with a look of disgust.



Rollins grabs a mic from the ringside area before entering, and standing across from Jericho, he begins to speak.



[Seth Rollins]
Let me stop you right there Chris. I'm "some unknown rookie"? Correction. I am the King Of The Ring of 2012!

The crowd pops in a big way and they begin to chant Rollins' name as Jericho's face contorts as though he's smelled something foul.



[Seth Rollins]
You see Chris, I know all about taking an opportunity and seizing it. A little over a month ago, I was a nobody on the independent circuit. One phonecall later I was signed to XWL. My first match, nobody would have bet on me defeating the great legendary Shawn Michaels... but I did. Nobody would have bet on me defeating The Miz, Triple H, or yourself... but I did. Absolutely nobody, would have ever pictured me standing in this ring right now as the King Of The Ring and as a contender for the XWL Championship. But here I am!

The chants of Rollins' name get louder.



[Seth Rollins]
And after Eye For An Eye... after I defeat you and 4 other of XWL's top stars inside the Elimination Chamber... I will be standing here as the XWL Champion!



[Chris Jericho]
Give me a break, I've seen this time and time again... Some kid comes in gets a few lucky wins, then thinks he's on top of the world. There is no Rocky story here for you, Seth... You're just a flash in the pan superstar. Your 15 minutes of fame will be over at Eye for an Eye. Then you and your Cruella De Vil hair cut will never be seen again. Then the spotlight can be where it should be, on me. So enjoy it whilst it lasts, kid.. because at Eye For An Eye, your dream will be over.



[Seth Rollins]
My dream will be over? Funny, because my dream is just beginning. All of this is still unreal to me. I can't believe that I'm standing in the very same ring across from a man who I used to idolise on my TV growing up. It still does feel like a dream to me Chris, but whatever the result it won't be over at Eye For An Eye. If I happen to walk out as XWL Champion, that would just be the icing on the cake of what has been an incredible month for me. It has all been unbelievable.



[Seth Rollins]
I remember watching the debut of Y2J on Monday Night Raw live and I saw the spark. I saw that you had something special about you. Something that I wanted too. After years of hard work, I've finally found my spark. I'm making my mark on this business too Chris. But you... what's happened to you? You've become this whining, complaining shell of your former self. What happened to you?


[Chris Jericho]
What happened to me? Kids like you trying to make a name for themselves in this business at my expense is what happened to me. I was constantly over looked for people who couldn't cope in this business, I was passed off week after week, for people like you. So I did what I had to do to get noticed, I don't need these parasites approval, I don't need your approval, I did it all for me. You still idolise me, just look at you... you're clearly just another Chris Jericho wanna-be.



[Seth Rollins]
You're right Chris. As much as I despise what you've become, I still idolise you. I remember the good old days of Y2J, Raw is Jericho and all that other stuff. I idolise that Chris Jericho, and despite all your attempts to remove that Chris Jericho from people's memories, it's forever embedded in mine. And deep down you are still the same guy. But right now, you're just a shadow of what you used to be. And how can you call me a Chris Jericho wannabe? Last I checked, I don't have obscene amounts of hair gel in my hair... I don't walk around wearing a suit pretending that I own the place... and I don't have the attitude of a self-righteous jackass!



[Chris Jericho]
Well Seth...



Without warning Chris Jericho lunges towards Seth attempting to hit Seth with the microphone, Seth ducks the shot then Superkick! Seth hits Jericho with a Superkick knocking Jericho out on the mat. The crowd go insane, as Seth has once again come out on top over Chris Jericho, this time avoiding a cheap shot. Seth is all fired up as he removes his shirt and poses on the top rope as the fan roar in approval.



Rollins continues to celebrate as Jericho finally comes to and makes a swift exit. Jericho looks back at Rollins who points at him and mouths "see you later" in reference to their match later that night...

The screen fades to black for a commercial break as Breakdown continues...

{Cleveland, Ohio has been prepared for an electric show thus far, and they've received just that. Promos delivered from various superstars, matches performed to the best of their capabilities, they've gotten the best they could have so far. And now as they're sitting in their seats sipping from soda cups and munching on popcorn as well as other foods, the commentators seem to have some newly released urgent information.}

[Jim Ross] And we've just been informed of some pretty bad news. Apparently something pretty big went down backstage during commercial break. We aren't quite sure what went down, but it was pretty bad. We'll be sure to release more information as it becomes available to us.

[Jerry Lawler] Yes, and it seems like it was quite bad. I just wish we could find out what happened! I hope no one is in real danger.. Well, maybe some superstars I wouldn't mind being in danger.. Wait a second, I'm getting word right now!

[Jim Ross] What does it say?

[Jerry Lawler] Well, they're about to roll the footage as apparently it was all captured on a camera left in the room of the incident.

{The fans, though they can't hear the commentators, have been informed as to the circumstances. They're eager to see what the tron is about to play as a video showcasing Shootin' Sh#t begins to roll across the screen. The logo flashes upon the titantron and then none other than Matt Classic appears on the screen.}

[Jim Ross] Well, this is fine so far..

[Jerry Lawler] Nothing out of the ordinary..



Matt Classic: Chris.. Why the heck hasn't Phil came back yet?

[Chris Spradlin] I don't know...

Matt Classic: Well..

{Before Classic can complete his sentence, the curtain Matt Classic is sat in front of is torn down. None other than Damien Sandow appears from behind it and grabs hold of Matt Classic, taking him to the ground. Sandow throws various stomps towards Classic in a vicious manner, clearly attempting to hurt him.}

[Jim Ross] It was Sandow! That menace Damien Sandow was behind what transpired during the break! This is just wrong.

[Jerry Lawler] I can't believe this, after just last week he took out Santino, is he trying to do the same to Classic? This is unbelievable!

{Damien Sandow then delivers a devastating elbow to Classic as well as helping Classic sit up, just to drive a knee into his back. Matt Classic yelps out in pain, but it's no help as Sandow fails to let up.}

[Jim Ross] That elbow looks like it hurt, and so did that knee.. Someone better have put a stop to this before it was too late for Classic..

[Jerry Lawler] It hurts to know this already happened, I'd run to the back right now and get Sandow off of him!

{Classic is hurting as he's lifted to his feet once more, this time nailed with a northern lights suplex by Sandow, landing Classic onto the hard concrete floor of the room he once used to film Shootin' Sh#t. Damien Sandow then resumes the relentless stomping.}

[Jim Ross] Please, please, somebody must have walked in there! Anybody! There's no way Damien Sandow could get away with this..

[Jerry Lawler] Something tells me he did get away with it JR.. And I can't stand it!

{Sandow now takes a moment to mock Classic, standing on top of him as if Classic had no dignity. Damien Sandow takes the liberty of helping a dazed Matt Classic to his feet, but then Sandow strikes, first with a knee to the gut, then another knee, and before we know the air is being taken out of Classic with countless knees. Matt Classic can be seen almost unable to breath after all the damage to his ribs.}

[Jim Ross] He could do some serious damage! The rib cage of Classic has to be in rough condition after that.

[Jerry Lawler] I'm almost wishing we didn't get to see video footage of what happened.. This is just sick! I'm going to have to turn away from this.

{And now, Classic is teetering, not to a great degree where is about to collapse, but considerably. Damien Sandow takes this opportunity and locks it in, he puts him in position for the Cross-Arm Neckbreaker and nails it hard straight onto the floor.}

[Jim Ross] Matt Classic looks like he's out...

[Jerry Lawler] I think he is, that brutal assault was unnecessary... Someone should have put a stop to it.

{Damien Sandow now only mouths the words, "You're welcome", to the camera as he gets the grin on his face we've seen frequently. The video then comes to a close as Sandow appears to be quite proud of himself.}

[Jim Ross] How could he be proud of himself? What a sick man...

[Jerry Lawler] Indeed..

{The fans in attendance are clearly not pleased, disliking the fact Sandow has just taken out yet another one of their favorites. However the show must go on and we then slowly fade into our next segment...}

As Breakdown continues from the previous segment we go to the back where we see a new interviewer stood in the interview area. The crowd cheers in anticipation of which superstar is being interviewed



Rebecca
Hey, what’s up XWL! My name is Rebecca and I am here live with the man who earlier tonight went one on one with Randy Orton and came out on top…Rob Van Dam

As Rebecca says his name he creeps into the camera shot and points to himself. The crowd go crazy for RVD as he smiles and laughs to himself.

Rebecca
Now Rob, two weeks ago you returned to Breakdown and Mick announced you to be the very last man in the Deadly Games tournament. How did you feel coming back to XWL.

Rob Van Dam
Hey Rebecca, now it’s being a long time. I think we first saw each other years ago back in ECW right? Man that takes me back. It’s great to see you anyway! You’re looking well, how’ve you been?

Rebecca
I’m good, how about you?



Rob Van Dam
Yeah I’m on top of the world. Right now things couldn’t be getting better for me. I mean first I come back to a huge reaction from the fans which was awesome. Honestly I never imagined I’d be missed that much. When I left it was because I was starting to feel a little burned out and I just needed a little time to kick back at home and relax, instead of being out on the road for full time and not really being able to relex or spend any time with my friends and family. It just all became a little too much. I’d being off for a year and I’d been watching and I’ve seen a lot change. I mean Wade isn’t the unstoppable force he once was. Justin Gabriel certainly isn’t and I just felt the time was right for RVD to come back and make his return. As soon as I told Mick I was ready he thought the perfect way that Rob Van Dam could come back was to have a shot at one of the most prestigious title’s in XWL history. You look and there has been some great champions, who have moved on to become World Champions. I just hope I can do it some justice and although I don’t really like Shawn, I respect what he did and how long he held the title for.

Rebecca
Wow, well it is great to see you back in action and two weeks ago we saw you attack Kurt only for you to do it again, why Kurt?



Rob Van Dam
I’m not going to lie I didn’t expect any of what has happened the last two weeks to go the way it did. I never meant to get involved with Kurt and I never intended on having someone interrupt me like he did last week. After Mick announced me for the title match and the electricity was high I was on such a buzz I just wanted to keep that going. Then later I saw Kurt beat Zack and then just start attacking the poor lad and then he wanted to break his ankle! I was in the locker room at the time just talking and catching up with a lot of the old guys who I knew from my last run and we was all watching the TV, nobody was doing anything. Nobody seemed to really care a hungry, young superstar could get a permanent ankle injury. I had to do something and I was just doing the right thing. Honestly it could have been anyone out there but it did just happen to be Kurt, so sorry Kurt, wrong place wrong time man.



Rob Van Dam
Then rewind to last week when I went out to make my return and just talk about why I went away and the reasons why I came back and out comes Kurt trying to show off his arrogance. I never asked for this to happen. I never asked for Kurt to turn bitter and suddenly want revenge but he just can’t seem to let this slip. Kurt got so mad and he just wasn’t able to really do anything. At the end of the day I don’t really think he expected anyone to stand up for Zack because we all saw what he did too Matt Morgan and he is still struggling from what Kurt did. Me and Kurt have a lot of history. We go way back. There have been times when I have respected him and thought of him as a friend but recently that has all gone out of the window. Any respect I had for him has gone. Now I don’t know if it was because of me but Kane really kicked his ass pretty fast and I just wanted to have a little fun and get the crowd going so I did lay him out with a Five Star Frog Splash, just to leave the fans happy. Honestly I hope that is the last and he knows he can’t step up onto my level.



Rebecca
Well that’s awesome! I know everyone was on the edge of their seats when we saw you get on the top rope! Even tonight, how was you feeling when you went on and beat Randy Orton?

Rob Van Dam
Randy’s a tough kid. I mean he has a hell of a lot of history and he is a future world champion for sure. He managed to put the deadman out for a while and it looks like Dolph might get the same fate. Honestly I wasn’t too sure how this match would turn out, both of us are great athletes and it could go either way. Fortunately everyone’s favourite superstar…and mine, managed to pick up the win and I can keep this momentum going into Eye for an eye. I have my eye on getting that United States title and I cannot wait to get the chance. Mick definitely wanted to make sure I was back to my old self tonight by booking me in that match. Going from Rikishi to Randy is quite a step up. But what’s done is done and I am satisfied, I got to go out their and utilise all my skills and let the fans watch one hell of a show, and I got to beat Randy! Hopefully I can keep this going and we’ll just have to see next week what The Whole F’N show brings to Breakdo-

Suddenly Rebecca screams and RVD rushes to turn around as Kurt hits him from behind before he can react with what looks to be a steel pipe. Rob falls down holding his head and before Rebecca even has time to check on his condition Kurt strikes down one more shot on the ribs of RVD. Rob screams out in pain as Rebecca screams again and tries to get Kurt to stop. She rushes in front to try and stop but Kurt just laughs. He dosen’t attack Rob again but just drops the pipe next to his body.

Kurt Angle
Next time you want to try and disrespect an Olympic gold medallist, just remember this moment. Oh it’s true…it’s damn true!

Kurt laughs and walks off as Rebecca checks on Robs condition. The camera’s fade out to the next segment.

*Breakdown returns from a commercial break and is taken backstage where “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles is standing backstage.*



{AJ Styles}
At Supremacy, the Kings Of Wrestling defeated us in a tag match, add the fact that I had just defeated Joey Ryan in a grueling Last Man Standing match not five minutes before that and that Alex was getting attacked on a weekly basis. Makes the win seem less meaningful, doesn't it? Take nothing away from the Kings, they're great wrestlers on their own, together, they are one hell of a cohesive unit, but then again, so are Alex and myself. Supremacy was our first time as a tag team and it didn't end well for us then last week, we were supposed to have a tag match but it ended up being a handicap match.



{AJ Styles}
Why, you may ask? Simply because the Kings of Wrestling knew that we were going to win that match. So the only way to stop themselves from being embarrassed was to catnap my cat and lock me in a closet. Alex put up a valiant effort but was unfortunately defeated. I mean, really, who steals another person’s cat, the Kings have sunk to a new low, I understand hitting me with a door but stealing my cat, you've made this personal and I will avenge Patches. The first mistake I made was not allowing myself to fall victim to their games, trust me, it won't happen again. This week I am more focused than I have ever been and I am guaranteeing a victory for Generation Next.

*Suddenly Alex Shelley walks into the room and embraces Styles and the two men do their secret handshake then nod in a sort of silent agreement before they walk out of the room. The Cameraman follows them out of the room where Gen-Nxt already finds themselves face-to-face with The Kings. The two teams exchange a few words, until a few men walk up to Cesaro and after they say a few words to him they take him down the hall. The Camera is able to catch the words printed on the jackets of the men: US Department of Immigration. Kassius is clearly upset and he walks off to try and save his partner, and then the camera cuts back over to Gen-Nxt and while Styles looks a bit confused, Shelley winks then starts walking down the hall.*



*After a few moments Gen-Nxt’s theme hits and the crowd pops as the two men step onto the ramp. They each jog over to the far ends of the stage where they point to the crowd, and then they jog over to the other side where they do the same. Shelley finally stops in the center of the stage where he drops down to one knee to do his gun taunt while Styles throws out his arms behind him while pyro goes off behind them. The two men then make their way down to the ring where they wait for The Kings, or at least Kassius Ohno to make his entrance. A video then begins playing on the titantron where Kassius is shown arguing with Mick Foley in his office.*

{Mick Foley}
No, Kassius, I don’t care what you have to say and I’m not interested in your complaints and considering what you pulled last week, I’m not feeling too sympathetic about your situation. So here’s the deal you’re going to go out there… without Cesaro and you’re going to wrestle Generation-Next. Have a nice day!

*Kassius storms out of Foley’s office and the camera cuts back to the ring where Styles and Shelley are trying not to laugh.*



* Kassius sprints down the ramp clearly ready for a fight and before The Ref ca even call for the bell, Kassius quickly kicks Shelley in the groin and pounds away at Styles. The Ref is able to separate the two men long enough to call for the bell.

Normal Tag-Team Match



AJ Styles & Alex Shelley Vs Kassius Ohno & Antonio Cesaro

Kassius and Styles continue their brawl while Shelley lays outside of the ring holding his groin. Kassius backs Styles into the ropes and attempts an irish whip that’s blocked and Styles connects with a beautiful dropkick. Kassius gets up and pounds the mat just before Breakdown heads to a quick commercial break.



Breakdown returns from break and Shelley is in the ring with Kassius now and a quick replay is shown of Gen-Nxt hitting a nice double team move during the commercial break. Kassius hits Shelley with a knee to the gut then goes for a DDT but Shelley reverses that into a northern lights suplex. Shelley gets up then runs to the ropes looking to hit a springboard moonsault but Kassius gets his knees up at the last second. Shelley staggers back into his corner holding his gut, and Styles tags himself in.

Styles positions himself on the apron waiting for Kassius to get up then he springboards off and goes for the forearm but Kassius side-steps him and Styles hits the mat hard. Kassius notices Shelley trying to stand on the apron and Kassius charges over to him and kicks him off the apron. When Kassius turns around he sees Styles nearly upright and he runs over at him for the clothesline but Styles ducks under and then connects with the pele kick!

Kassius hits the ground and rolls out of the ring and basically says screw it all before trying to head up the ramp. Unfortunatley for him, he doesn’t even get to the ramp before Shelley grabs him from behind and slams him face first against the infamously hard ring apron. Shelley then takes Kassius by the head and drops him with a Sliced Bread by stepping off the apron! Shelley then rolls the KO’d Kassius Ohno into the ring for the waiting Styles who’s perched on the top rope. Styles raises his arms in the air and hits a jaw dropping Spiral Tap! Shelley slides into the ring and stomps on Kassius’ face for good measure before Styles goes for the pin: 1….2…..3!

As Breakdown returns we are brought to ringside where Hurricane is standing in the middle of the ring awaiting his opponent.

{{King}}
Welcome back to Breakdown ladies and gentleman! Kurt Angle, who attacked Rob Van Dam backstage earlier tonight, is about to take on The Hurricane!

{{JR}}
I hope that The Hurricane gives Angle the beating he deserves!



As soon as Angle's theme hits a "You Suck" chant begins to breakout. His theme continues to play but Angle is no where to be seen as the camera stays on the stage waiting The Olympian's arrival.

{{JR}}
Where is Kur-.. Wait a minute.. turn around Hurricane!

The crowd begins to boo as Angle, who just made his way through the crowd and over the barricade, slides into the ring behind Hurricane! His theme cuts off as he smashes Hurricane with an elbow to the back of the head! Angle begins to punch, kick, stomp, and elbow the defenseless Hurricane before sliding out of the ring. The crowd gives a sigh of relief, glad that the attack is over and no ankles are broken,  but they thought wrong as Angle reaches under the ring and grabs a steel chair!

{{JR}}
Oh no! What's he going to do with that!

Angle slides back into the ring and wedges the Hurricane's ankle in between the chair! But before he can do anything else...



RVD limps down the stage as fast as he can and slides into the ring! He and Angle begin to exchange blows as the crowd boos and cheers accordingly.. boo! yay! boo! yay! boo! yay! yay! yay! yay! RVD is able to floor Angle with a huge kick to the temple! RVD backs up, preparing for the Rolling Thunder but Hurricane, who is back on his feet, shouts to RVD "Stand back, there's a Hurricane coming through" as he sizes up Angle. RVD steps aside as Angle slowly gets to a knee only to be floored once more with a Shining Wizard from the Hurricane! The crowd's already booming cheers grow as RVD is shown on the top rope looking down at Kurt.... FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!



The crowd goes wild as RVD and Hurricane stomp Angle out of the ring before high fiveing each other and celebrating on the top rope before we head to commercial.

*Sheamus's theme hits as he begins to come out to the ring. Sheamus steps into the middle of the ring with a mic in his hand and begins to speak.*

[[Sheamus]]
You know fella I wasn't even going to come out here this week. But I decided to do the world a favor and come out here to speak my mind. Let me address my opponent tonight Mason Ryan. You are no where to be found you're a joke of a human being to no show an event. Now who am I going to face tonight? No body that's who I'm okay with it because it gives me a break for a week. I need to keep myself fresh for the United States tournament at Eye For An Eye. Even though no one is a true challenge for me. I am 100% confident that I am going to win that tournament. I was worried about two men but now I'm not because I realized that they're are nothing compared to me. I am not going to name those two people because I don't want to flatter anybody.

[[Sheamus]]
I'm going to make this short and sweet because I can't be asked to speak to speak more than 5 minutes. Good luck to all the people in the tournament you're going to really need it. If I don't walk out the United States Champion at Eye For An Eye then you wont me seeing Sheamus for a while. I'll be taking my business else where you hear me. I don't need to deal with those mongrels in the back. I don't need to deal with being over looked. This is the last time I'm going to be speaking until I win the United States Championship. I'm going to defeat my opponents up until the tournament starts. Then once I beat everyone I will give a beautiful speech on how I am never going to lose the belt. I can see the future everybody it's going to happen you need to stop denying it. I am going to go to my hotel and get a nice bite to eat and watch some quality television. Preferably any channel that doesn't have XWL TV on it.

*Sheamus drops his mic as he continues to walk to the back. Sheamus just laughs as he heads to the back.*
