The bell rings and AJ's theme hits across the arena as the crowd all get to their feet


[Jerry Lawler]
AJ has done it! She's in Money In The Bank!

[JR]
She caught Nikki off guard and managed to roll up her for the 3! Well, Vickie Guerrero told AJ she had to earn her spot in the ladder match, and she just did.


A clearly happy AJ rises to her feet, with a smile across her face.




The Referee holds her hand up in victory, as AJ qualifies for the Money In The Bank ladder match. AJ begins to celebrate her victory, clearly overcome with emotion untill her celebration is cut short.....



[Vickie Guerrero]
EXCUSE ME!!


The voice of Vickie can be heard thought the arena, as she then appears on the stage. AJ's expression immediately changes.




AJ stares at Vickie, with a look that could kill. Untill Vickie continues to speak.


[Vickie Guerrero]
Congratulations AJ! I told you last week that you had to earn your way into Money In The Bank, and you've done just that! But also last week, I told you that you would still be punished for when you slapped me two weeks ago. I am the General Manager of Redemption, you can't just slap me and think you will get away with it. So right now... You will put your Money In The Bank spot on the line...



[Vickie Guerrero]
Against Brie Bella!! ... Ring the bell!




AJ is now clearly furious at the decision, as she looks like she's about to snap. The bell rings, and Brie Bella is already in the ring! She's waiting behind AJ, AJ then turns around... Kick to the guy by Brie followed by the Bella Buster! Brie quickly covers AJ......

1....
2....





3!


Brie Bella defeats AJ!


[Jerry Lawler]
This is unfair!

[Michael Cole]
Unfair? AJ Slapped Vickie across her face two weeks ago, she got exactly what she deserved. and Now Brie Bella has qualified for the Money In The Bank match.




Both Bella's are now in the ring, celebrating Brie's victory. Brie clearly proud of herself, is now in the Money In The Bank ladder match at Final Stand. The Bella's then leave the ring, leaving a fallen AJ Alone in the ring, AJ comes around and realizes what has just happened.




AJ's frustrations get the better of her, as she snaps and begins to pound the mat in anger.

[Michael Cole]
Look at her! She's a nut job.


AJ just kneeling in centre of the ring, is the last image we see as Breakdown fades to commercial.

*The camera cuts to the backstage area, where World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho is shown walking through a hallway. He is dressed in his ring-gear, clearly prepared for tonight's main event. An interviewer who is off-screen catches his attention.*



[Interviewer]
Chris Jericho, tonight you go one-on-one in our main event against the United States Champion, Jeff Hardy. Your thoughts?



[Chris Jericho]
You want my thoughts? My thoughts are 100% focused on Joey Ryan and our match at Final Stand. You might think that's a mistake, and that I'm being foolish to overlook Jeff Hardy, and all of my other opponents leading up to that, but you would be wrong. Because when you're as good as I am, you don't have to be focused to get the job done. I have proven on more than one occasion that I am the best in the world at what I do. I don't care if I'm facing Jeff Hardy tonight... it's just a formality that I will be walking out as the victor. It's that simple.



[Chris Jericho]
I've already disposed of Triple H at Uprising and he hasn't been seen since. He's wallowing away at home in self-pity, in the comfort of his wife's arms, surrounded by his children. As far as I'm concerned he can stay there for good. Joey Ryan will suffer the same fate in a few short weeks after I expose him as the liar and the fraud that he is. He claims to be this larger than life, sleazy character, but I know the truth. I see past all the lies, and what I see is a mediocre performer and a man full of insecurities. Once I'm through with him, the world will see the true Joey Ryan, and he will be banished into exile unable to get a job in this business when I reveal the plainness and lack of talent hiding behind the shield of sleaze.



[Chris Jericho]
Ryan knows that I speak the truth, and that's why he's hiding somewhere in the arena, not willing to show his face for an interview or anything else until his match starts. He knows that I already have the advantage, and that every week, that advantage gets greater. He's denied me the opportunity to peel back more of his layers face to face tonight, but that's okay. I know he's watching this. He's dreading every word that comes out of my mouth because he knows it's fact. He knows that he cannot match up to the greatness of Chris Jericho on any day of the week, much less the biggest show of the year. Ryan has dug himself into a hole and basically committed career suicide by going ahead with our match at Final Stand.



[Chris Jericho]
I said last week that the year of 2013 is the Year Of Chris Jericho and I guarantee that will be the case. Tonight I pick up another win to prove that... next week, I'll do the same. But at Final Stand, I will claim the scalp of Joey Ryan, just like I did Triple H... and the Era Of Chris Jericho will roll on...



*Jericho gazes off deep in thought - no doubt imagining his Final Stand victory taking place - before the screen fades to black for a commercial break.*

*The theme song of Dolph Ziggler hits as he walks onto the stage looking as if he has a lot on his mind.*



*He's in his ring gear for his upcoming match against Joey Ryan later tonight which is bound to be a fantastic match between two fine athletes. Dolph makes it to ringside and flicks his hand towards some fans.*



*He runs up and slides on the apron on his knee before getting in and grabbing a microphone while shoving Justin Roberts out of the ring, he waits in the middle of the ring for his music to stop.*



[Dolph Ziggler] Dean.. Dean.. Dean. The reason I didn't talk about you last week was because you're not worth it. You're not worth me wasting my breath talking about a scumbag like yourself but since you think it's wise to provoke me I'm going to give you exactly what you want. You haven't shut the showoff up, you've actually done the opposite and you've just given me more to talk about so congratulations Dean! You just keep on pushing the wrong buttons and you're just making things worse for yourself, honestly. The more you drag on and drag on about yourself the more it makes me want to kick your jaw so hard you have to have it wired shut. You can say I talked twisted lies about AJ and Corey, but I know it's true and that's all that matters. But tell me this Dean? Am I lying when I say that you're a hypocrite too? Because you like to call yourself a man of honor yet you openly talk about how you were a drug dealer, how you openly beat people up on the streets like the low life thug you are...

*The fans are mainly silent as they listen to Dolph's remarks.*



[Dolph Ziggler] If you think you're going to take over this company by taking out anyone who goes after The Men of Honor, well then the three of you are just fighting a battle you can't win because the list of enemies just keeps on growing more and more by the week. Believe me, you're going to care about how many people hate at you when the three of you come crashing down. I've used this phrase before about you Dean, and it's still true. Fifteen minutes of fame, you've managed to use the Men of Honor to latch on an extra minute or two of fame but that clock is running out. You're the flavour of the month and this time next month nobody is going to remember any of you. So Dean, you tried to slander me for just talking to a camera last week. I'm standing in the center of the ring.. What are you gonna' do?



*Dolph looks out towards the stage, awaiting the arrival of Dean Ambrose, but is he even in the arena tonight? Many moments pass as it doesn't seem like he'll show.*



*And just like that, the theme of the man in question, Dean Ambrose, begins to play, causing the feeling of the arena to drastically change. Dolph continues standing in the center of the ring, preparing himself for the inevitable arrival of his sick and twisted rival. The theme dies down as Dolph is shown with a smile on his face. He raises his mic to speak again, but before he can, the lights in the arena go dark for a second as an image appears on the Titantron.*




*The image quickly fades as the lights come back on, revealing Dean Ambrose sitting backstage somewhere, possibly in the arena, looking away from the camera. A few moments pass before looking towards the camera and beginning to speak.*



{Dean Ambrose}
Let me see if I have this right, you want me to go out there and stand across the ring from you? I know I beat you up pretty bad at Uprising, but you're just asking for a death wish. I know what's going to happen if I do go out there, Ziggler, you're going to run away the second I step into that ring because you're a coward. You've been doing that for the past two months, it's nothing new.



{Dean Ambrose}
So let's say that by some off chance, you don't run away, what exactly are you going to do to me that hasn't already been done before? You're going to hit me with a Superkick? Because that worked out so well at Uprising, right? Just face the facts, you can't hurt me, it doesn't matter what you do, I'll still be the only man left standing. I threw myself off a ladder and put us both through a table and I'm still standing, face it, I'm indestructible!



{Dean Ambrose}
You brought up how we can't win this fight of injustice against this company, goes to show how much you really know about Dean Ambrose. I don't fight to win, I fight to survive another day. Every single day that passes, I know that I'm fighting a losing fight, but that doesn't stop me from taking down anybody that stands in my way. Thirteen men were in that ring during our Ladder Match, only three were left standing, Men of Honor have had the odds stacked against us since day one, not since the day we formed but since the day we became professional wrestlers, and in my case, since the day I was born.



{Dean Ambrose}
If you believe that I'm going to stop fighting just because the odds will be stacked against us in the future, you have another thing coming. I can't wait til that day comes to pass, so I can see the looks on not only your face, but the faces of these people in the audience when we are once again the three people left standing.

*Dolph looks at the ground with a sigh and look of disappointment.*



[Dolph Ziggler] Am.. Am I hearing things? Is the high and mighty internet darling Dean Ambrose being a hypocrite? You ragged on me for being on a camera last week and as I stand in the center of the ring calling you out like a man you sit back there with your dollar store shades acting all tough? I know I should've came face to face with you last week, I'm righting my wrong and all you're doing sitting back there is proving that you're nothing more than a coward! I mean, I'm standing here, and you have the nerve to call ME the coward? If you're so sure that you're indestructible and I can't hurt you then what's stopping you from coming out here? Yeah yeah yeah, we get it, you're fighting daily blah blah blah. You live such a struggle with your big cheque that XWL is paying you to be on our roster, you're not fooling anyone Dean! So are you gonna man up and fight for today or are you gonna sit back there like the hypocrite you are?



{Dean Ambrose}
You talk a big game when I'm not there, lets just see how big your bark is when I go out there and kick your ass!

*Ambrose quickly rises from his seat and walks out of the view of the camera as the footsteps are heard for a moment before they fade. Ziggler is shown looking around the arena, awaiting the arrival of his psychotic rival in Dean Ambrose. A few moments pass before Ambrose appears in the crowd and wastes no time making a beeline towards the ring. He knocks over drinks, food, even people, on his way down the steps. Ziggler spots his before he reaches the barricade and begins to taunt him. Before Ambrose can hop the railing, a couple security guards grab him from behind and begin dragging him out of the arena. Ambrose breaks free of their grip and tries to run back towards the ring but is quickly caught again and is forced to the backstage area. A feed appears on the Titantron, showing the events that are happening backstage for everybody in the arena to see.*



{Dean Ambrose}
I got to hand it to you, Ziggler, you suckered me in and everything went according to plan, right? It's not like this was part of my plan, there's no way that a guy like me could come up with something this advanced, could I? There's just no way that Dean Ambrose planned for it to be this way since the start, wouldn't you agree, Ziggler?



{Dean Ambrose}
Get your damn hands off of me or I'll get Stone Cold ET to kick your ass, rent a cop. Now I'm getting thrown out, what else is new. I remember the first time you got me thrown out of an arena, you remember how that ended, don't you? Let me refresh your memory, they couldn't get the job done, Ziggler, and neither would these second rate, wannabe, security guards.



{Dean Ambrose}
I'm out of your precious arena, you happy now? Don't think you've done the impossible just yet, there's still a few tricks up my sleeve. I may not be in the arena right now, but I'm not the person you should be concerned with. Let me ask you something, rent a cops, does the name “Men of Honor” mean anything to you?

*And just like that, Men of Honor, equipped with lead pipes, arrive on the scene and take down the security guards from behind as Ambrose looks on with a smirk on his face. The camera quickly changes to Ziggler for a moment, as it shows him slightly shocked that Men of Honor have, yet again, come to the aid of Dean Ambrose. The camera changes back to Men of Honor and shows Ambrose saying things towards them that can't be heard on camera before they all walk back into the arena and possibly towards the ring. Ziggler is shown looking around the crowd yet again, this time he has Men of Honor to worry about, instead of just Dean Ambrose. Men of Honor make it onto the stage for a moment, and not wasting any time, make a beeline towards the ring. Ziggler quickly exits the ring and hops over the barricade into safety, but for how long can he avoid Dean Ambrose and Men of Honor? AJ grabs a mic and is visibly annoyed*



[AJ Styles]
Where are you going Dolph? Are you afraid of us? You think you're such a big star... that you're a show off... why don't you get back in this ring and prove it by taking out all three of us? Who cares about the numbers game when you're as good as you say you are? Get the hell back in this ring right now and stop running away like a little bitch!

*Ziggler shakes his head and can be seen saying "I'm not stupid" before turning his back on the MOH and walking towards the exit through the crowd.*



[AJ Styles]
You see, that's what I thought! That's the problem with you, and the rest of XWL's "big stars". When faced with a legitimate threat, like the three of us, you run and hide. You're too afraid that we'll show you up for what you are... all flash and no substance. You're looking at three guys right here who are the exact opposite. You want to talk about 15 minutes of fame? How about we take over XWL and make it our 15 years of fame? How would you like that?



{Dean Ambrose}
I called it, I told you that if I came out here, that you would just run away. Ironic that you called me out, yet you're the one who ran. You don't have the balls to stand across this ring from me, you never have and you never will. But tonight's not about you, Ziggler, no matter how much you want it to be, tonight is about Ted DiBiase playing Russian Roulette with his career.




{Dean Ambrose}
Ted DiBiase, another person who was handed everything and earned nothing. Just like The Rock, and just like Dolph Ziggler before him, he too will fall before Men of Honor. This will be a bitter sweet victory, on one hand, another unworthy person falls before us, on the other, it makes us come across as mercenaries, a gun for hire. We are far from that, we're men with honor, we don't hurt people for money, we hurt them because they deserve it.



[AJ Styles]
And I can't think of anyone more deserving than the spoilt little rich kid who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth! Ted Dibiase! You've been given everything in this business just because your dad was a big star almost 2 decades ago! That's ancient history! Why should you be World Heavyweight Champion, being this huge star while guys like us were left to fend for ourselves like a pack of dogs on the independent circuit? Do you know what it means to scratch and claw for anything Ted? No you don't! Tonight we will make you feel the desperation that we felt every night trying to survive outside of XWL. Tonight, we make you pay some dues for the first time in your life! No handouts or riding on your father's coat-tails tonight Ted. Just a good old fashioned beat-down, courtesy of the Men Of Honor!

*AJ throws down his mic and Ambrose shouts "BELIEVE THAT!" off mic, before the Men Of Honor's music plays. The mysterious Corey Graves who didn't speak throughout this segment, breaks into a menacing grin.*



*All three men gaze around at the hostile XWL Universe who shower them in boos as the screen fades to black for a commercial break.*

Normal Divas Match


Lita Vs Michelle McCool

*Breakdown returns from a commercial break and is greeted with the theme of Ted DiBiase as the crowd begins to cheer. Ted comes out from behind the curtain, but the second he comes out, his theme abruptly ends, leaving him unsure of what's going on. A moment later, he realizes that is has to be the work of Vickie and shakes his head before continuing down the ramp, acting like nothing happened. The second he reaches about the halfway portion of the ramp, the lights instantly go off. They come back on a few moments later and none other than Dean Ambrose is standing at the bottom of the ramp with a sick smirk on his face. Ted looks at Ambrose before looking out towards the crowd, in search of the other two members of Men of Honor. His search is cut short when both AJ Styles and Corey Graves attack Ted from behind with a series of forearms, punches and kicks as Ambrose looks on. Both Graves and AJ throw Ted past Ambrose and shoulder first into the steel ring steps. Ted lets out a painful yell before they begin stomping on him. Ambrose quickly joins in on the assault and like a pack of wild dogs, they begin to dissect their latest victim with precise strikes.*

*All three men stop their assault almost simultaneously and share a look with one another. AJ lifts Ted to his feet and throws him into the ring before he and Graves climb up onto the apron as Ambrose slides into the ring. Ambrose begins barking at the ref, telling him to start this “match” but the ref checks on Ted instead and helps his get to his feet. The ref has no choice but to call for the bell, signaling the start of this match.*

*The theme of the lethal trifecta known as the Men Of Honor echoes around the arena as Dean Ambrose picks up the victory for his team. All three men are clearly proud of their victory over the outnumbered Dibiase, who has yet to move following the sickening knee to the skull. He put in a valiant effort but ultimately the numbers game was too much for him, as it would be for any man. Alone, each of the Men Of Honor are great. Together, in a three on one situation, they are unstoppable and Ted felt the full brunt of their assault in this matchup, despite his best attempts. Ambrose, Styles and Graves all pose proudly, as though they have just won a World title or accomplished some major feat, as the XWL Universe boos them ferociously. After a couple of seconds or so of pandering, an idea pops up in the mind of Ambrose, who is seen whispering something in Styles' ear. Styles grins wildly and beckons over Graves. The three of them huddle together, share a discussion, before breaking apart. A look of intent burning in their eyes, they turn their attention once again to the broken fan favorite Dibiase. Graves picks him up and hits him with the MK Ultra, for no good reason! The crowd roars in disapproval. But they're not finished yet. Graves lifts the dead weight of Dibiase to his knees, holding his head with the side aimed at Ambrose, who has backed himself into the corner. Ambrose charges at Dibiase and in one swift and devastating motion hits a sickening Knee Trembler! The impact echoes around the arena as the rabid crowd are enraged even more by the despicable actions of the Men Of Honor! But, there's one thing left to come. While all of this has been unfolding, AJ Styles has climbed to the top rope. As Graves and Ambrose act as his cheerleaders, he hits the final devastating blow as the exclamation point, as he hits the spectacular Spiral Tap! Dibiase has been destroyed... literally. As their music starts up again, so do the MOH's celebrations. Although this time, they are much more over the top than previously. The crowd boo as loud as they have all night as Ambrose, Styles and Graves admire their handiwork and continue to revel in the crowd's hatred until eventually the screen fades to black for a commercial break.*

Divas Tag-Team Match



Paige & Layla Vs Alicia Fox & Kaitlyn







*The party starts when Alicia Fox appears onto the stage, strutting her stuff as she stops on the ramp to briefly dip down, tracing up her lengthy legs with her hands, transitioning it into a kiss which she blows to all of her fans in attendance.*



*Foxy starts making her way down the ramp, stretching her arms out towards the crowd on each side of the barricades, blowing one or two more brief kisses and waves as she prances down to the ring.*

*Now face to face with the ring apron, Alicia grabs hold of the middle rope, using it to propel herself onto the apron with one great leap. She then quickly unhooks her furry Fox hood and swoops down through the bottom ropes.*



*Shooting up on the inside of the ring, Fox takes her hood into one hand and begins twirling it around in the air cheerfully with her spare arm pointing out towards her fans. All smiles as usual, Fox makes her way around the ring, egging on fans from all sections of the arena.*

*Alicia finally ends the party on a high note, tossing her hood over her shoulder as she props her hands upon her waist. Shortly after her theme song fades, the cheering is continued as the theme of our Divas Champion Kaitlyn begins to draw yet another positive reaction from the crowd here in St. Louis, Missouri.*



*Kaitlyn's theme begins to play throughout the arena and the crowd cheers as she quickly makes her way out from the back. She stops at the top of the stage and holds the championship down for a little bit before raising it up into the air, getting a good reaction from the crowd.*



*Kaitlyn makes her way down the ramp, handing out some high fives to the fans of hers who hold out their hands.*



*Kaitlyn reaches the bottom of the ramp as she looks into the ring at her partner and opponent at Final Stand, Alicia Fox, as she makes her way over to the steps. Kaitlyn quickly makes her way up them and she makes her way into the ring where she realizes her championship once more for the fans to see.*





*Paige's theme begins to play as some cheers mixed in with and array of boos fill the arena. The team of Kaitlyn and Alicia Fox look towards the ramp, awaiting the first of their opponents for the evening.*



*Paige walks out from behind the curtain and stands on the stage for a moment as her nameplate swipes across the bottom of the screen. She looks out towards the crowd for a second before looking towards the ring and locking eyes with Fox then with Kaitlyn.*



*She begins her descent down the entrance ramp, not taking her eyes off her opponents for the evening and for Final Stand. She inches closer and closer to the ring before stopping halfway down the ramp and looking towards the crowd yet again. She shifts her focus back to the ring and continues walking down the ramp. She begins to scale the ring steps and climbs onto the apron.*



*The ref holds Fox back from Paige, who has already jumped off the apron and mouths, “Nope.” at Fox, who just smiles. Paige then turns her attention to the stage, awaiting her partner for the evening, Layla.*




*Layla's theme strikes the P.A and the fans react as usual with loud boos, she's not a very well received by the fans but that never dampens her spirits.*




*She poses at the top of the stage with a smirk on her face, then begins to strut down the ramp ignoring the fans along the way.*



*Layla reaches the ring then pulls herself up onto the ropes, eyeing her opponents and her partner, she and Paige exchange a friendly glance then she steps into the ring and makes her way over to the ropes before stepping onto the bottom rope and gliding her body across the ropes and looking right into the cameras with a smile.*



*She steps back down to the mat, removes her jacket tossing it out of the ring, then fixes her kneepads into place just looking at her fellow divas in the ring.*



*With all four women now in the ring, they all meet in the center of the ring with heated rivals in Alicia Fox and Paige burning holes into one another with glares, while Layla and Kaitlyn engage in a staredown of their own. The referee for this contest forces himself between them and directs them to their respective corners so the match can get underway. The two teams discuss among themselves who will be starting the match on opposite ends of the ring. The camera focuses on Fox and Kaitlyn, who are in a heated game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, and Fox gets the better of the Divas Champion as she chooses rock to Kaitlyn's scissors. Kaitlyn snaps her fingers and lets out a “darn,” before she steps out of the ring and onto the apron. On the opposite end of the ring, both Layla and Paige are possibly discussing strategy among themselves and while they are not strangers to one another, this will be the first time the British born women will team with each other.*

*Layla spots Fox across the ring from them, ready to start the match for her team, and motions at Paige to turn around. She does and sees who's starting the match for the opposing team. The British born women share a glance before looking back at Fox and laughing to their hearts content. Paige raises her arm towards Fox and says, “You can start this one, Layla.” in which Layla replies with, “I'd rather you start it, Paige.” Paige nods her head and looks across the ring at her rival as Layla exits out to the apron. Paige looks back at Layla and says, “This won't take long.” before shifting her attention back towards the Foxy Diva. The referee checks to see if both women are ready before motioning for the timekeeper to ring the bell, starting this contest.*




*Fox and Paige begin to circle each other and before they attempt to lock up, Fox extends her arm towards Paige with a Foxy pout on her face, leaving the Anti-Diva unsure how to react. Paige looks out towards the crowd, motioning to them on whether or not to shake her Foxy rivals hand. Mixed reactions rain down to the ring, almost split down the middle with half of them cheering for Paige to shake hands with Fox, while the other half boo, knowing that it could be a trap. Paige shrugs her shoulders and extends her arm towards Fox but before they can shake hands, Paige delivers a hard slap to Fox's face, knocking her back a few steps and onto the the ropes.*



*Fox holds her jaw from the slap as Paige smirks at her actions towards her rival, while Layla laughs on the apron, clapping her hands, and shouting out, “That's what you get, Fox!” The look in Fox's eyes quickly changes as she charges at Paige, tackling her down onto the mat and begins unloading a series of slaps, forearms, punches, and anything else she possibly can. The ref is forced to interject himself and pulls Fox off of Paige, who tries to regain her composure as she sits up off the mat. She pulls herself up to her feet and holds her jaw for a moment before Fox and Paige begin to circle each other once again.*



*This time, they lock up and with no clear winning in this test of strength, both Kaitlyn and Layla begin shouting words of encouragement towards their respective partners but it seems like their both wasting their breath as a stalemate has occurred between these bitter rivals. Paige breaks the lockup and takes a step back, causing Fox to sarcastically mouth, “What's wrong, Paige?” towards the Anti-Diva. Paige doesn't reply back but instead looks at Fox with a deadly stare. They begin to circle around the ring yet again, ready for round two.*



*They lock up for the second time, yielding the same result but this time, it's Fox who's the one to break the lockup and take a step back. Fox glares at Paige with a “don't even say it” expression on her face. Once again, both women begin to circle one another before locking up for the third time. There's no clear winner, that is, until Paige stomps on Fox's foot and quickly transitions into a side headlock, putting herself in control of the Foxy Diva. Fox is able to push Paige off of her and send her into the ropes. Paige rebounds off said ropes and goes for a shoulder block, but Fox avoids it by jumping over her rival, as Paige ricochets off the opposite ropes and back at Fox. She jumps over Paige a second time but instead on bouncing off the ropes again, Paige stops in her tracks and pushes Fox into the ropes instead.*



*Fox ducks an incoming clothesline from Paige before bouncing off the ropes a second time. Paige ducks for a back body drop but unfortunately for her, she jumped the gun and ducked just a second too early, allowing Fox to grab her by her hair and send her face first onto the mat. Paige clutches her jaw while still on the mat before Fox quickly goes for the first pinfall attempt in the match.*

1...

2...

Kickout!

*Paige easily gets her shoulder up as Fox looks over to Kaitlyn, who has her arm extended and motions for the tag. Fox smiles at her partner and begins to walk towards her, but before she can make the tag, Paige makes it to her feet and grabs the Foxy Diva by her waist, sending her stumbling backwards into enemy territory. The second Fox's back hit the turnbuckle, Paige follows up with a shoulder block to her abdomen. She hits another before Layla slaps Paige's back, tagging herself into the match for the first time. Paige hits one final shoulder block on her Foxy rival before exiting the ring and standing on the apron as Layla mocks Fox.*

*Layla grabs Fox by her hair to lift her to her feet but it only leaves her open for a forearm strike to her unprotected face. She stumbles backwards as Fox continues the attack with repeated forearms to Layla's face. Just when it seemed the obvious fan favorite in the match was making a comeback, Layla quickly hits a swift kick to Fox's knee, dropping her down on the mat. She follows it up by running towards the ropes behind her and bouncing off of them with extra momentum as she possibly attempts a running dropkick, but Fox has other things in mind for her opponent.*



*The second Layla gets close, Fox quickly makes it to her feet and wraps her arms around the waist of an incoming Layla, catching her off guard. Almost instantly, Fox launches Layla over her head and hits a picture perfect Northern Lights Suplex, following up with a flawless bridge. The ref drops down to the mat and begins to make the count.*

Kickout!

*Layla gets her shoulder up in time to break the count. Fox looks at the ref, making sure it wasn't a three count, before shifting her attention back to her opponent. She begins to lift Layla up to her feet, only for the British born diva to break Fox's grip and attempt her signature roundhouse kick, known as Bombshell. Fox manages to duck the kick at the final possible moment and hits a dropkick on Layla, sending her down to the mat. She quickly rises back up to her feet, only to fall back down with another dropkick. The momentum is clearly in the corner of Fox.*



*Layla tries to use the ropes to lift herself back to her feet as Fox stalks her, possibly getting ready to unleash more of her Foxy arsenal. Fox grabs Layla by her hair, lifting her up to her feet, and throws her towards the opposite side of the ring. Layla bounces off the ropes as Fox begins to set up what looks like her signature Tilt a Whirl Backbreaker, but just as she's about to hit it, Layla manages to grab a hold of Fox's arm and hits a modified arm drag, following up with a bridge, going for the first pinfall attempt for her team.*

1...

2...

Kickout!

*Fox gets her shoulder up off the mat, keeping the match alive for her team. Layla is now the one stalking Fox, waiting for her to get to her feet, possibly to attempt to end the match.*




*Fox is now on her feet and motions to Layla and the ref, calling for a timeout, causing Layla to look out towards the crowd, then at the ref, mouthing, “Is she serious?” at the official. The ref doesn't know how to react to Fox's antics, leading the match to come to a standstill. Layla looks at Paige and begins mouthing words towards her that the camera can't pick up, leading Paige to motion towards Layla, calling for the tag. Layla shrugs her shoulders and begins walking towards Paige.*



*Before Layla can make the tag, Fox grabs Layla by her hair and throws her towards her and Kaitlyn's side of the ring. Fox grabs Layla's leg before she can scurry away and tags in Kaitlyn, who's entering the match for the first time. Layla manages to break free of Fox's hold and quickly makes it to Paige, tagging her in. The Divas Champion and the Anti-Diva lock eyes from across the ring, as neither woman's expression changes and with neither willing to back down from the other, who will be the first to gain the advantage in this match?*




*They soon lock up with one another almost exactly at the same time, Paige tries to get the advantage, but Kaitlyn's power proves to be too much and Paige is sent flying back to the mat, but she doesn't stay there long, she's back up on her feet that next second and back for more. Paige tries again to gain control, but Kaitlyn's not looking to allow that to happen and instead locks in a side head lock on Paige. Not one to be outdone Paige delivers a few back elbow shots to the ribs of the Divas Champion, forcing the break, then locks in a side headlock of her own. But it doesn't remain locked in for long as Kaitlyn shoots her off with a good push sending her bouncing off the ropes, then swings for a clothesline upon the rebound only for Paige to duck under then come back around off the other side with a shoulder tackle knocking the champion down. Layla applauds from the apron as Paige smirks, then jumps over Kaitlyn running off the ropes again but Kaitlyn pops up to her feet meeting her with a much more powerful variation of a shoulder tackle of her own! She quickly covers the Anti-Diva hoping to finish this match right here and now.*

1...

2...

Kickout!

*Paige flies her shoulder off the canvas, showing it'll take a lot more than that to take someone like her down for the three.*




*Though it didn't keep her down she's still feeling the effects of that move as she tries to get back up to her feet. Once she's fully standing Kaitlyns back on the attack firing away with several on point forearm shots, attempts to whip her into the corner where Fox is, but Paige chops her arm away then kicks her in the gut and directs Kaitlyn right into the corner where Layla's waiting. She comes running right at Kaitlyn for a corner move of some kind but Kaitlyn meets her with a raised boot to the jaw sending her stumbling back. Layla leans over the ropes shouting at her "Hey!" she screams but the champion makes short work of her by grabbing her by her hair and slamming her face first down to the mat in the ring with her. Fox applauds from the outside shouting words of encouragement, while Paige takes this time to attack Kaitlyn from behind with an axe handle knocking her down to one knee. *



She tries to pick her up for perhaps her Fall away slam, but Kaitlyn struggles the entire time getting out of her grasp and planting Paige with a reverse STO quickly covering for the potential win.*

Kickout!


*As soon as Paige kicks out Kaitlyn attempts to pick her up, but Paige sweeps her leg taking her down to the mat and follows up with a jackknife cover!*

1...

2...

Kickout!


*Both women jump back to their feet sharing a glance, Layla's back on the apron now and she doesn't look happy about Kaitlyn's attack on her, even if it was well deserved. The two lock up once again but this time neither are giving leeway, they use everything they've got to try to gain the advantage, but Kaitlyn eventually forces Paige against the ropes and the referee has to intervene.*


1...

2...

Kickout!



*Kaitlyn backs off throwing her hands up in the air, not one to break the rules or anything. Paige backs away from the ropes and Kaitlyn goes back to the attack but gets met by a stiff elbow to the jaw, Paige tries to pick her up away, but Kaitlyn struggles just as before, lands back to her feet, attempts to pick Paige up but she struggles just the same as she did. As Paige lands back to her feet she meets Kaitlyn with a side kick almost knocking her down, but just enough to where Paige can successfully pick her up then throw her overhead with a fall away slam! She screams out, fired up and ready to end this, she covers hooking both of Kaitlyn's legs.*


1...

2...

Kickout!


*Getting frustrated but trying not to show it, Paige quickly collects herself then looks over to Layla who seems eager to get some revenge on Kaitlyn for that little stunt of hers earlier, Paige is happy to give her the opportunity and starts to walk over to Layla to tag out, but Kaitlyns back on her feet, Layla yells out to Paige to warn her, then just as Kaitlyn comes charging for what looks to be a spear, Paige side steps and Layla kicks her feet through the ropes to meet Kaitlyn straight in the jaw knocking her back. Paige grins for a moment then tags out and the two British born women lock eyes, perhaps having a conversation none of us can hear, then as Kaitlyn starts to stand back up they knock her down and out with a double super kick! The referee is yelling at Paige, telling her to leave, and she's happy to do so, Kaitlyns out, this match is won and she knows it.*



*Once she steps out Layla covers the Divas Champion, it doesn't look good, she's out like a light and the referee has no choice but to count.*

1...




2...



Kickout!


*Immediately Layla begins to scream "That was three!" at the referee, but he insists it was only two. "That was three!" she continues to scream, she thought that was it but apparently Kaitlyn had just enough in her to kick out of what everyone thought was surely the end. Normally Layla's super kick alone is enough to knock someone out for the count, but she had her fellow Brit's help so she's not buying the fact that she kicked out and is in fact blaming the referee for counting so slowly. She stands up getting in the referee's face "I won, raise my hand!" but he keeps telling her it was only two. She's not going to accept though and keeps telling him to raise her hand, this gives Kaitlyn time to recover and quickly roll Layla up from behind to steal it!*

1...


2...

Kickout!




*Layla rolls away from Kaitlyn while still lying on the mat absolutely livid. "Are you freaking me?!" she exclaims as she gets up, runs over to Kaitlyn only to get kicked in the gut, raised above Kaitlyn's head and dropped down across her knee with a gutbuster! Instead of covering she drags Layla over to the corner, tags out to Alicia, then they show they've got a few tag tricks up their sleeves too when Kaitlyn hoists Alicia onto her shoulders in an Electric chair position, then launches her off onto the Layla with a splash! Alicia covers Layla instantly hooking her leg for added leverage.*


1....



2......


But Layla pops her shoulder off the mat!




*We cut to a shot of Paige on the apron relieved she kicked out and shouts out words of supports to her partner. Layla tries to get up off the mat but Alicia stomps on her hand then pulls her up herself, attempts to whip her into the corner but Layla manages to turn the tables on Fox sending her into the corner instead. She comes charging at her only for Alicia to pop up onto the top rope, hooks Layla for a sunsetflip, but at the last second Layla holds onto the ropes and Fox crashes to the mat alone. She staggers to her feet but that's when Layla turns around, jumps up onto the bottom rope, then onto the second completing the double jump for her springboard crossbody and knocks Fox back down and this time for the possible count.*


1...


2...

Kickout!




*Kaitlyn seem relieved that Alicia managed to kick out and yells out "You can do it Alicia!" but Layla turns around and yells back at her "Stay out of this!" she turns around and gets met by a fierce slap from Alicia Fox! A loud "Ohhhhhhhh" from the fans echos throughout the arena, and Layla charges right at her for a clothesline, but she bridges back in a Matrix like evasion, then kicks her legs up in a handstand wrapping them around Layla's neck before spinning her out with a headscissor takedown! She's sent flying halfway across the ring almost to the corner where Paige stands almost concerned for the outcome of this match. Fox comes charging at her for the Scissors kick, but Layla backs into the corner to avoid it, grabs Alicia by her hair as she props up onto the top rope for the Facelift, as she starts to launch off, perhaps Paige didn't know Layla was the one in control from her view so slaps her back to tag herself in then soon realizes Layla was the one actually in control of that exchange just as she sees Fox's head snap back and she lies on the mat, perhaps down for the count.*

*Layla turns her head, annoyed as she sees Paige stepping in, and the referee telling her to get out. She gets up and looks at Paige "What are you doing?!" "I didn't know!" they stare at one another in silence before Layla steps out onto the apron and Paige covers Fox.*

1...




2...



Kickout!


*She kicked out? Paige can't believe it, she looks to the referee to be sure, though not as dramatically as Layla did earlier. She pulls Fox up by her hair, attempts to hook her head for something, but Fox fights free with a few good jabs to the ribs, Paige stumbles back, Alicia whips her into the corner, or so she intended but Paige easily turns it around on her sending her into the corner instead. She runs for a monkey flip from the corner, but instead of falling on her behind Alicia flips over perfectly landing on her feet, flashes a a confident glow letting out a "Ohhhh!" with her arms spread wide. Paige gets annoyed by this and comes charging at her only for Alicia to catch her, spins her around in a tilt a whirl before dropping her across her knee with a backbreaker, then pushes Paige off of her knee and covers her.*

1...




2...



Kickout!



"Come on Paige!" Layla yells from the apron, Alicia turns around and tells her to zip it with a hand motion, Layla gets annoyed by this and the referee tells her to not do anything to which she throws her hand up saying she's not going to. Fox turns her attention back to Paige then starts to back up, it looks like she's going to go for her leg drop, but as she takes one more step back the angry Brit Layla grabs her hair from the apron screaming out, the referee tells her to let go but Fox wants more than just that, she pulls herself away from Layla then slaps her so hard she falls off the apron and down to the floor. Knowing this is her chance she turns her focus back to Paige, runs right at her flipping over in a somersault for her leg drop, but Paige with great ring awareness rolls out of the way and into the corner as Fox meets with hard mat. She starts to slowly get up, favoring her backside after that impact, Paige quickly pulls her in hooking her leg and arm then nails the Paige turner perfectly! But just as she hits it Layla jumps onto the apron and tags herself in! Paige looks confused as Layla runs into the ring, straight past Paige and the down Alicia Fox and to Kaitlyn dropping down into a baseball slide drop kicking her feet out from under her and knocking her off the apron with her jaw bouncing off the side of the ring. Layla then quickly covers Alicia covering her face with her hand arrogantly all while Paige watches.

3!!!!!


*As the ref's hand hits the mat, Fox's shoulder pops up, but it's too late, Layla and Paige have won and Layla's theme then hits the speakers as the fans boo immediately.*




*Layla presses down on Fox's face before rising up off of her with a smirk, she's obviously happy she got the better of Fox after getting slapped off the apron just a minute ago, but her partner doesn't seem to be happy at all.*



*Paige stands there looking at Layla, she had Fox down for the count and Layla tagged herself in and stole it. Perhaps Layla was so annoyed at Fox hitting her off the apron that she wanted to get the last laugh, but Paige isn't sure what to think, and no one knows whats going through her mind as she just stares at Layla. Layla's smile soon fades as she notices Paige, the referee stands there just as confused as everyone else. Layla extends her hand to raise their hands up in victory in their first outing as a team, but Paige looks at her hand, still not saying a single thing.*



*Suddenly her eyes lower down at Alicia, she sees shes in pain and her confusion fades and a devious grin forms on her face, she looks back at Layla, then Layla grabs her wrist raising her arm in victory just as the referee raises Layla's.*

*Their arms soon lower, and they share a "well done" glance before heading over to opposite corners and mounting on them as Alicia has rolled out of the ring and is being tended to by Kaitlyn who is holding her jaw still. We cut to Layla's corner where she's looking down on Fox and Kaitlyn.*



*She places her hand on her jaw mocking Kaitlyn, then looks over in the crowd and sees a sign that says "We want Beth!" to which Layla follows up by laughing and raising her arms above her head imitating Beth's signature pose. *

We then cut away from her and to Paige who is sharing a staredown with the champion, Kaitlyn's eyes don't leave Paige's for one second, and Paige begins to motion around her waist, signaling that she'll be the champion at Final Stand and dethrone Kaitlyn. We see a full view of Paige standing tall while looking down at both of her opponents in the triple threat Divas Championship match at Final Stand, with her hands still motioning that she'll be the victor as we fade away to a Doritos commercial featuring Daniel Bryan.

*Breakdown returns from a short advertisement hyping up Final Stand V before being taken backstage where Yoshi Tatsu is shown in front of a camera, eager for this interview to start. The cameraman motions to Yoshi, who replies with a nod, before beginning to speak.*

{Yoshi Tatsu}
Hello Yoshi Army!

*Before he can continue speaking, the camera is shown slowly getting farther and farther away from Yoshi, leaving him in a confused state. The camera quickly pans around to see who is dragging him down the empty corridor and is shown to be none other than Dean Ambrose. Normally the cameraman would try to show a bit of resistance towards getting dragged away against his will, but you would have to believe that he values his life enough to not piss Ambrose off. They come to an instant stop at a door that reads, “Redemption General Manager Vickie Guerrero.” Ambrose opens the door and walks into the room.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
Just who the hell do you think you... oh, well look at what the cat dragged in, Dean Ambrose. I saw what you did to Theodore earlier tonight and I must say that I'm slightly impressed.

{Dean Ambrose}
I'm not here for small talk, Vickie.

{Vickie Guerrero}
Then what are you here for, Dean? If you have no business here, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

{Dean Ambrose}
You know what I want.

{Vickie Guerrero}
No, I don't. Enlighten me, what is it you want?

{Dean Ambrose}
If Ziggler's in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, I want in.

{Vickie Guerrero}
That's just not possible, all the slots have been filled. I can't even include Shawn Michaels, what makes you think you'd stand a chance?

*Ambrose looks at Vickie with a serious expression on his face before it quickly turns into a sick smirk as he reaches down to his boot and pulls out his signature lead pipe.*

{Dean Ambrose}
Persuasion is one of my strong suits.

{Vickie Guerrero}
Is that supposed to be a threat? You're going to have to try harder than that to-

{Dean Ambrose}
If that's what you think this is, then so be it. Think of it as a choice between sitting in that comfy chair of yours, or sitting in a hospital bed.

*Ambrose begins to tap the pipe lightly on the table while Vickie thinks about what was just said. Does she give in to the demands of the ever psychotic Dean Ambrose, or does she call his bluff?*

{Dean Ambrose}
I heard what you had to say about Men of Honor earlier in the night, and I don't like that you're using us for your entertainment, Vickie. We're not here to play mercenary, we're here to restore honor to this place. We're not corrupt like you, we're as pure as pure can be. Our paths were bound to cross again and here we are.

*Ambrose walks around the table, sliding the lead pipe across it, before standing next to Vickie.*

{Dean Ambrose}
There's no doubt in my mind that if you don't put me into that match, I won't regret inflicting pain upon you. I've done it in the past and that was when I was in a good mood, imagine what I'm capable of when I'm pissed off.

{Vickie Guerrero}
I'm sorry, Dean, but there's just no way I can do that.

{Dean Ambrose}
Wrong answer.

*Ambrose raises the pipe into the air, ready to strike down his next victim, but before he could, the door to her office swings open and none other that Dean's rival, Dolph Ziggler walks in.*

[Dolph Ziggler]
Vickie, there's something we need to talk abou-

*Dolph notices Ambrose in the room and both men share a quick glance at one another before they both shout, “You son of a bitch!” almost simultaneously. Ambrose hops over the table and swings the lead pipe at Dolph. It wildly misses, giving Ziggler the opening he needed to unload a series of rights and lefts on his psychotic rival. With Dean reeling, Dolph goes for the kill but misses the punch and ends up hitting the wall. Before he can even react to the pain, Ambrose has him already locked in a Crossface Chickenwing. Ziggler tries to fight out of it but to no avail, the hold is just locked in too tight. Ambrose pulls out a fork from his boot and lightly places it on Dolph's forehead before looking directly at Vickie, who doesn't know how to react to the situation.*

{Dean Ambrose}
Is this what you wanted to happen, Vickie? You want Ziggler to pay for your sins? You can stop this, you know what you have to do.

{Vickie Guerrero}
I can't add you to the match-

*Ambrose, angered by Vickie's answer, drives the fork into Dolph's skull, forcing Ziggler to let out a painful yell. With each passing second that Vickie doesn't give the answer Dean wants, Ambrose slowly drives the fork deeper and deeper into Ziggler's skull, until the blood begins to drip from his forehead. The look on Dolph's face says it all, and Vickie, knowing that Ambrose won't stop until he gets what he wants, begins to speak, temporarily stopping Dean from destroying Ziggler's forehead with his deadly fork.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
Fine, you're in, please, just stop.

*A smirk comes across the face of Ambrose before it fades. He takes the fork and forcefully runs it across the forehead of The Showoff. Blood pours out of his skull, causing Dolph to yell in pain as the blood makes it way down his face. Ambrose just smirks, content with not only being put into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match but also getting his hands on Dolph Ziggler. His smirk fades as he turns around and walks out of the room, causing Vickie to check on Dolph before Breakdown fades to a commercial break.*

Triple Threat Match


Seth Rollins Vs Yoshi Tatsu Vs Matt Hardy












Carlito takes the win after a backstabber.


Winner Via Pinfall:

Justin Roberts:
Coming to the ring at this time Ezekiel Jackson.

Jim Ross:
We are back ladies and gentlemen and it looks like the former United States Champion is coming to the ring.

Michael Cole:
Last week he interfered with a XWL matchup I wonder if he has come out here to apologise.

Zeke enters the ring

Ezekiel Jackson:
Well well well we are now back to this. First I lose the United States Championship and now my condition is getting worse and worse. I had a hell of the match with Hardy even after all that has happened. Although during the match I had something on my mind something that distracted me and maybe of cost me the match and my United States Championship. The week before I was shocked after receiving a unexpected bull hammer by Wade Barrett.

Ezekiel Jackson:
The ladder match is defiantly not my specialty but I adapted and gave it my all. The specialist was the man to win the match and I'm not complaining. I just live on and not do a Jeff Hardy and live the life of a drug abuser. Luckily for me however like all people in life I get a second chance to prove myself a second chance to show I can beat Hardy once and for all, a second chance to get the United States Championship and it will be on the grandest stage of them all in Final Stand.

Ezekiel Jackson:
Not only will it be at Final Stand but I have the advantage this time in what match up it takes place in. Yes no more ladders you have to climb Jeff and hopefully for me and the XWL viewers the last time you will hold the United States Championship. The winner of the match will be the LAST MAN STANDING. Wait wait I have more news for our match at Final Stand to sweeten the match even more for the fans. I no longer have the worry about my opponent tonight Wade messing around with the match because according to The Hulkster, if he so happens to interfere in the match Hardy will be stripped of the United States Championship.





Zeke looks out towards the stage, expecting the champion to enter, but to his disappointment the titantron lights up, showing a ladder dim with an array of lights with a figure at the top.



King: What's that? Who's that? Is that the ladder leading up to the rafters?



Cole: I think that's.. Is that Jeff Hardy? What's he doing on that ladder? And what's with those eerie lights! They're giving me goosebumps!

JR: Well Hardy was in a joking mood last week, but it doesn't seem like, well if that is him, it doesn't seem like he is in one now!

The camera zooms in towards the figure where we can barely make out the face of Jeff Hardy.



{{Jeff Hardy}}
Words like extreme, intensity, charismatic, they used to mean everything to me. I used to wake up in the morning, know exactly who I was, I used to look into that mirror and know exactly what I was meant to be, meant to do. Living in the moment used to be more than just a catchphrase, it used to be a way of life. But now? Everything's changed, and it will never.. can never, be the same. I've seen things that can't be unseen, I've done things that can't be undone, I've orchestrated things that can never be taken back. I'm not proud of who I am, I'm not proud of what I've done, I'm ashamed of my past, and I'm ashamed of what I've become..



{{Jeff Hardy}}
Yet, beneath all that shame, beneath all my rage, beneath all my doubts, my fears, my existence, I know what I'm capable of, and I know what I can and cannot do on my own. Through my faults, and through recognizing them for what they truly are, I've been able to become something that I never was before.. Modest to the Top. I know what I can do, I know what I can't do, and I know what I need help in doing. I don't believe myself to be invincible anymore, I now know that there is a rung on every ladder that I cannot climb, that I will not climb. I'm not superman, my body's not made of steel, it's broken, beyond repair, and I hate that. These people want me to be something that I simply cannot be, and I.. hate.. that.. I hate it! I hate it more than anything in this world, more than you, more than the disgrace you plan on bringing to this title, my title.. more than anything.



{{Jeff Hardy}}
There's a pain inside of me that no fan's cheer, no ladder, no extreme feat, nothing but a bottle of pills can get rid of, and even then it just numbs it temporarily. I dread waking up in the morning.. because I feel it. I dread each and every step I take.. because I feel it. I dread every movement, of every day.. because.. I.. feel it. And you expect me to change. You all expect me to change. You think that this is easy? You think that I want this, that I choose this.. If you only knew… If you only felt even a fraction of the pain that I deal with everyday.. but then again, I don't wish that upon anyone, no, that's my burden. It's what I get for living in the moment, it's what I deserve for letting these people control me like a god damn puppet. They cheered, I climbed, they cheered louder, I climbed higher. I have nightmares, I hear those cheers I feel myself falling, and falling, and falling but I never wake up, it never ends, I brace myself for that impact, for the pain, but it never comes, I just keep on falling, and then when trust that it will never come, when I relax and let myself fall, let myself feel that adrenaline, then I feel it, then I hit the ground at a million miles per hour, then I wake up with a pool of sweat around me. Each and every night, it's the same, it's like I never learn, it's like the trust I had in these people, it betrays me.



{{Jeff Hardy}}
So I came to work and I painted my face, I dyed my hair, I did everything possible to distract both myself and my fans from the pain inside. The face paint may have been what was physically covering myself, but I had a mask that required no art, no colors, just a fake smile, a mask. I wore that mask every day, I pretended to be something that I was not, a role model, a hero, a man that these people could look up to, could aspire to.. What was I thinking? Would you want your kids to turn out like me? And I know what you're probably thinking, "No Jeff Hardy, not now, not anymore" but I'm the same person now that I was then, only now I have nothing to hide, nothing to put a mask over. I still have the same will, the same heart, the same resilience, the same durability, only now, I have different motivation, different motives, a new drive. No longer do I fight for these fans, no longer do I climb for them, no longer do I take on the odds to prove myself no, now I climb for myself, now I climb to keep this title around my waist, and as I proved in the past I'll do anything to ensure that happens, even if it means spending a couple hundred dollars.



{{Jeff Hardy}}
Which brings me to my next point.. Wade Barrett. He's the man you should be worrying about Zeke, not me. He's the one with an elbow that can drop you where you stand. I'm the one who fights the uphill battles, I'm the underdog of this company. But Wade? He's the one who looks down upon his competition before striking them to the ground, he's a whole hell of a lot more intimidating than me, and I'm Modest enough to admit it. Tonight he's going to take you down a peg, simple as that, he's going to destroy you. He doesn't need my help like I need his, he's a lone warrior because that's the way he was brought up, he fights to survive, not to win. If you push him hard enough you'll end up in a fight for your life, literally. He's not like other wrestlers, he doesn't play games, it takes all of his self control not to injure his opponents, and well, he's a former champion, one the best this business has seen, but lately he's been holding back, trying his best not to end his opponents careers and it cost him, well Zeke, that makes him angry, that makes him dangerous, he's like a loaded gun, and tonight, he's going to take the safety off and pull that trigger.



{{Jeff Hardy}}
You see some of us were fans before we came to this business, some bodybuilders, some athletes, some models, some actors, but Wade? He was a fighter, and more importantly, he was a bare-knuckle fighter. His fists are callused, his face has seen more gashes, more bruises, more scars than even I could imagine. He's bred to fight, bred to kill, he comes from a dog eat dog world Zeke, and to him, losing was never an option. His guard is always up, his sense forced to heightened, he had to adapt to survive. He's not here to flex his muscles and talk about domination, he's here to prove just how dominant he really can be. He's been held back as of late, he's been forced to put aside his instincts and instead focus on "entertaining", but no longer. He's sick of putting on a show for these people, of holding back.



{{Jeff Hardy}}
Tonight he's going to fight, nothing more, nothing less. Three weeks ago he knocked you out with one elbow, last week he did the same to Seth Rollins. He's a loose cannon, he hit my own brother with the Wasteland without even the slightest of hesitation… And Matt, if you're watching.. I truly do hope that you're okay, and I'm sorry that what happened to you happened, but I won't apologize for it because I'm not to blame. And neither is Wade. No. The only man you have to blame for what happened is yourself. When a man walks in front of a moving train is the train's fault? If he were to poke at a lion, would you blame the lion for devouring him? If he were to drown himself would you blame the water for taking his life? No. You should have stayed out of it Matt, you put yourself in harms way by putting your hands on Wade, you should have known better, you should have realized just who you were messing with. And Zeke, the same goes for you, Wade is in no way responsible for whatever injury you sustain tonight, you can choose to walk away now, you can choose to save yourself, or you can choose to end up just like Matt. And if these people aren't entertained by the slaughter that he will bring upon you, then they are hypocrites. For years they cheered as I put my body on the line, and the more pain I felt the more they cheered. Well tonight you're going to feel a pain that you never felt before, and if they don't like it, then too damn bad!



{{Jeff Hardy}}
You might think you're so clever Zeke, costing me my match last week, but I still got the last laugh. Now you choose to have our next encounter be a Last Man Standing Match? You think you'll have the advantage because Wade won't be able to get involved? Well I'm not worried, not in the slightest, because I doubt that you'll even make it to Final Stand. By the time March 17th comes around I doubt that you'll even be able to stand before the night begins! You might think that you have all the cards in your hand, but Jeff Hardy always has an ace up his sleeve!!



The theme of Wade Barrett begins to play! Jeff's face remains on the titantron and a wicked smile creeps upon his face as the Bareknuckle fighter enters through the curtain!

King: Well here comes Zeke's opponent for tonight! Wade Barrett, but it looks like he has a mic in his hand!

Wade Barrett
Hi Zeke, I see you're excited for your big title match next month the only problem is that you won't be making it past tonight. Now I'm not sure how badly your memory has been damaged in recent weeks so allow me to remind you of what I did to you last time we were in the same ring. I knocked you out with one devastating elbow, that was all it took for you to fall and now you think you could survive a last man standing match? You must've gone insane to think you have the strength to endure what Jeff's going to do to you. Speaking of Jeff, I'm glad you came to your senses about what I did to your brother last week. Unfortunatley you must take a slight portion of the blames because if you hadn't lost against Rollins I wouldn't have taken him out and Matt wouldn't have tried to stop me, But that's irelevant right now. Jeff you have no need to be concerned about Zeke because even if he's able to stand up he won't last ten minutes in that ring against you. In fact if there's anyone that has any need to be worried it's Zeke, After all it's his career in jepordy tonight. All Jeff has to do is watch as I take care of his problem for him.



Wade lowers his mic as Zeke begins to speak

Ezekiel Jackson:
So is this what its going to be, in all honesty Wade I thought you would be smarter then this. I dont know how much Jeff is paying you and I simply dont even care but I can give you some friendly advice in Jeff is using you to get to the top. From what I know of Hardy at this time he cant get the job done without help of others. You know and I know I would not be standing here battered and bruised with no championship around my waist if Jeff had no help. The real Jeff Hardy wouldnt be siding with you Wade he would be helping out his own brother.

Ezekiel Jackson:
Wade you should not be doing what Jeff says instead you should be trying to help him. Hes only paying you because his mind is in a bad state. If you choose to continue following Hardys commands then his fate will be yours also. Now Jeff if you think your body is broken now then think of 10x the pain you are currently feeling and that is your fate at Final Stand after your down for the 10 count. I have nothing to fear I am your worst nightmare I am the personificarion of domination and tonight and I am going to defeat Wade here to prove to you I am alot more then a force to be reckoned with.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Your ego shall be your downfall Zeke. You choose to fight this battle alone, but it's a battle you simply cannot win. You are too proud to do as I have, to stop pointing fingers at me and admit that you need help for once in your life. I was once like you Zeke, I too thought that I could do everything on my own, as long as these people chanted my name. But no matter how loud they chant, no matter what they do, you're still alone in this ring. Sure you might be able to feed off of the adrenaline they give you, but all that will accomplish is prolonging your fate, your pain, your demise, your defeat. I might be a drug addict, I might be in pain, I might be an outcast, a loser, a creature of the night, I might not be the perfect role model, as a matter of fact I'm the Anti-Role Model of the XWL, but there's one quality I posses that these people should look up to, one quality that you've never felt before.. I'm Modest to the Top, I'm humble, where as you're an arrogant, egotistical, good for nothing, sad excuse for an entertainer who's only relevant because you're the victim of greater men, men who will become something in the XWL while you fade off into the shadows where you belong, where I once called home. Final Stand will be our last encounter, I'm going to take all this pain, all this rage, everything out on you. Our story will end there, your last chapter, my new beginning. I'll be the Last Man Standing because it is my fate, and you? Well you'll be lucky if you even make it to Final Stand!



And with that Hardy disappears from the titantron leaving the two opponents for tonight alone. Zeke turns around from the titantron only to be hit with a Bullhammer from Wade.

Jim Ross:
What a cheap shot from the Barrett Barrage. Zeke looks to be down and out just like the last time.

Jerry Lawler:
He better get up soon as his match against Wade is next after this commercial break.



Normal Match


Wade Barrett Vs Ezekiel Jackson

Breakdown is back after the commercial break and the dazed Zeke is still getting helped back up by the referee.

Jerry Lawler:
They better not be seriously going to carry on with the matchup Zeke is in a bad state after that devestating Bullhammer.

Michael Cole:
HaHa I cant wait, Zeke is going to have a beating of a lifetime.

Zeke is still dazed but is now up and he gives the ready up to the referee who calls for the bell to be rung for the match to be started. Wade quickly takes advantage of the situation and puts Zeke onto his shoulders and slams him down with a Wasteland.

Jim Ross:
Well I bet Zeke didnt see that coming hes in a mind of his own/

Wade laughs at Zekes broken flat out body and goes for the pin.

KICKOUT!!!!!!

Jerry Lawler:
WHAT how the hell in the world did Zeke kick out.

Michael Cole:
This shows how stupid Zeke is. I mean now Wade can attack him even more.

After the kickout Wade facial expression changes to shocked. He now waits near the ropes for Zeke to get up. Once he gets up he runs at Zeke only to get hit by a unexpected spinebuster.

Jim Ross:
Now that was unexpected is this Zekes time for him to win.

The tired Zeke crawls to Wade and covers him for the pin

KICKOUT!!!!!

Zeke finally gets up only to be greated with a familiar theme.





Jerry Lawler:
Now where do we remember this from? Dont fall for your own scheme Zeke.

Zeke still watching the stage notices he is not there. He turns around only to be charged at by Wade who is ready to hit the Bullhamer until it is dodged by Zeke. Zeke then hits the Book of Ezekiel and goes for the pin.

Justin Roberts:
Here is your winner Ezekiel Jackson.

Zeke then begins to leave the ring in a slow limping state.



Matt Hardy's theme is greeted by a wave of cheers as the current fan favorite of the two brothers shoots out through the curtain.

King: Look! It's Matt Hardy! Earlier tonight he got his revenge on Seth Rollins by defeating him and Yoshi Tatsu, it looks like he wants to get some revenge on Wade Barrett as well for that Wasteland last week!

Matt rushes past Zeke, giving him a quick nod before sliding into the ring while the Personification of Domination disappears to the back!





King: That's Jeff Hardy's theme! Do you think he's actually going to show up this time! Or is this jus another distraction?

King's question is answer as Jeff Hardy is seen jumping over the ringside barricade and sliding into the squared circle!



The two brothers begin to exchange words that the camera can't pick up before Matt walks over to the downed body of Wade Barrett and lifts him up in the position for the Twist of Fate!! Jeff looks conflicted for the second week in a row as he pleads for his brother to put Wade down, but Matt just shakes his head no before hitting the Twist of Fate on Wade!!!! The crowd goes wild as Matt then points to the turnbuckle, clearing motioning that he wants his brother to finish the job with a Swanton Bomb!!

King: Would you listen to this crowd! They're going wild!! How could Jeff possibly say no to this!!

Jeff looks around at the cheering crowd as his brother continues to egg him on! The United States Champion then, to everyone's delighted surprise, begins to slowly and unsurely climb the turnbuckle!! He looks down at Wade for a few moments as the crowd buzzes in anticipation!!

King: Do it Jeff! Do it!!

Jeff shakes his head, gets down from the turnbuckle, and hops off of the apron, before turning his back on his brother and walking up the ramp as the crowd boos.

King: Well I doubt that Wade's going to be too happy about that! Last week Jeff watched as Barrett delivered a Wasteland to his brother, now he looked on as Matt gave Wade a Twist of Fate! Our United States Champion needs to figure out where his loyalty lies otherwise sooner or later he'll be left with no one!

Cole: That's right King! Also, Jeff and Wade kept telling Zeke how he won't be able to make it to Final Stand. Well by the looks of it Wade will be the one not able to make it to tonight's main event to support Jeff! It looks like Hardys going to be alone tonight against Chris Jericho just like he will be when Wad is banned from rinsed at Final Stand!!!

Jeff disappears to the back as we go to commercial.

Brock Lesnar’s theme blasts around the arena. The crowd instantly show their distaste towards him and the boo’s raid the arena. Paul Heyman marches out onto the stage followed by the monster, Brock Lesnar who slowly walks out and the feeling in the arena get’s a little more intense.



He heads out and walks a few metres behind Heyman. Following him slowly down the ramp as the camera shows Heyman shouting at fans nearby telling them to “Shut up!” as they both head into the right Heyman demands a mic from one of the workers, who promptly hands one before heading back to his seat.



Paul Heyman
Tonight we are out here for justice. Tonight we want an answer as to why my client, Brock Lesnar has not even made it onto the card the past few weeks. After destroying Kofi Kingston, Brock has not even been booked. Is this punishment Hulk? Are you mad about Brock bringing the pain to The Rock? Are you mad that The man of the people is been beaten down to a pulp each and every week? This is warfare and Brock has proven he is a monster. Now unless you want it to happen to you then I suggest you start given Brock the respect he deserves. This is not just any ordinary superstar, just look at him….just look at him! This man is a unique specimen and there is noone in the locker room who can stand up to him.



Paul Heyman
Answer me this, when was the last time you saw Kofi Kingston in a ring? Where is young Kofi tonight? That’s right he still is in physio trying to get to full fitness. He landed awkwardly after an F5. Brock Lesnar like I have said time and time before is not here to make friends. This is purely about beating people up. This is what made Brock Lesnar come back to XWL. This is why he is not in the UFC, fighting inside the pentagon. Brock Lesnar knows he has what it takes to be a star in wrestling once again but unlike before management just are not giving him the chances like they were before. Now I am willing to do whatever it takes and straight after this show I am going to meet my legal team to discuss what options we can take going forward. We are going to get jus-

Before Paul can continue his sentence Brock places his hand over the mic as Paul stops and looks up at Brock. Brock slowly grabs the mic as Paul allows him to take control and steps aside allowing Brock to stand tall in the centre of the ring.



Brock Lesnar
For to long this company has slapped me in the face. When I first came here I wanted to make changes. I wasn’t here for any of you or to make friends with anyone in the back. The one thing I wanted to change was who was the World Heavyweight Champion. You see like Paul said, I could have gone to any company in the world. Any pro wrestling or mma company would have loved to have signed Brock Lesnar to a contract. John Laurinitis played a big part in bringing me here to XWL. He had the same concerns I did. He was tired of the way this company was heading and wanted to bring legitimacy back to XWL. Someone that hasn’t been seen in a long, long time. What I do when I’m here is just business. If I don’t get a match let’s be honest it’s a good thing for everyone in the locker room. They get to breath a sign of relief at the fact they know they don’t have to go one on one with me.



Brock Lesnar
Now one man who should be more relieved more than anyone is The Rock. Since I came back each and every week we have seen the same scenario. Him lying in the ring or on that stage, needing medical attention. He has a lot of guts, he’s flipped me off a few times and tried to bring the fight to me. He needs to know just how dangerous I really am, I don’t think he realises that he cannot match me in this ring. I am not like him, I don’t want you people to cheer me, I don’t want to go any fancy moves. I just want to fight and beat people up. That’s what makes me happy. That is wh-


The Rock
Shut your mouth when The Great One is speaking you Cave Bitch!

The crowd flare into a flurry of cheers as they see The Rock up on the big screen! A smile spreads across Rockys face for a moment when he realizes that the entire arena are now chanting "Cave Bitch!" in full force!



The Rock
We get it! You like to fight, you like to hurt people, you crap in the woods, your name Brock, you make fire...Rarrrrr! Shut up! The Rock is sick of it, The Rock knows how impressive you are, we've all seen it and The Rock has felt it first hand so you don't need to keep sending this overweight ballsack with a ponytail out here to tickle your ego like he tickles your monkey scrotum at night! Your right that every time The Rock has went face to face with you that you've left him lying half dead, spitting blood, that's right, you left The Rock with some bad internal bleeding but he comes right back out here every time to entertain these people and to bring the fight to you again!



The Rock
You could rip The Rocks arm off and he'd pick it right back up and come out again to beat the red right off of your neck! You could rip The Rocks leg off and still he'd hop down that ramp and shove his one good boot up your candy ass! You could take out both of The Rocks eyes and he'd beat you to half to death with his guide stick and listen to his seeing eye dog chew you apart! But that begs the questions, Rocky...Why are you all the way up there and not in the ring? Rocky...Why are you wearing your ring gear when you don't have a match tonight? What do you need wrestling boots for if you're not in action and to that The Rock says this, in about twenty seconds he's gonna laugh as he watches Paul Heymans head being surgically removed from Brock Lesnars lethal weapon!



The Rock
IF YOU SMELL! WHAT THE ROCK! IS.....COOKIN'!

The Rock raises his eyebrow to the crowd and immediately exits to the side of the camera leaving Paul Heyman with an anxious expression in the ring, Brock lesnar however starts to jog on the spot, looking ready for yet another fight with the former XWL World Heavyweight Champion!



Almost seconds later The Rock bursts through the curtain with the fury of a thousand angry bulls as he charges down the ramp without stopping to smell the electricity, The Great One slides into the ring and immediately begins to unleash a huge flurry of punches onto Brock Lesnars jaw! The Peoples Champion is on fire as he rocks Brock up against the ropes, the next big thing can't help but seem flustered as he is clotheslined over the top rope and sent crashing to the floor below! Paul Heyman runs up behind The Rock and forearms him in the back but he soon realizes it was a huge mistake as The Rock turns around and without a moment of hesitation drops him with a massive Rock Bottom!

On fire The Rock exits the ring through the middle rope and just as Lesnar is getting up The Rock flies through the air with another huge clothesline sending both warriors over the announce table! The commentators scatter into the distance as The Rock rips off all excess parts of the table before grabbing a monitor and driving it into Brock Lesnars skull! With the people chanting his name he rolls Brock onto the table and follows him on before pulling him up to his level, The Rock hooks Lesnars arm over his head and lifts him high into the air before driving him straight through the announce table!

The carnage is everywhere! Paul Heyman is laid out in the ring, Brock Lesnar is lying in a pile of broken table with blood pouring out of his forehead and The Rock is getting to his feet! The crowd are going absolutely ape shit as The Rock stands up tall above his rival and throws his right arm into the air screaming, "JUST BRING IT!" He holds his arm in the air for over ten seconds, chanting to the crowd, more hyped up than ever before!

XWL's Breakdown supershow fades to the next segment to the sight of The Rock standing over a bloody Brock Lesnar for the first time since they met here in XWL...

XWL's Breakdown supershow fades to the next segment to the sight of The Rock standing over a bloody Brock Lesnar for the first time since they met here in XWL...

*As Breakdown returns from the commercial break, the devilish theme of Kane hits over the arena.*



*Kane appears on the stage amidst all of the smoke as chills climb down the spines of all in the arena. As the smoke clears, we can see Bob Orton tied up and Kane brings him down to the ring. The only light in the arena is the red aura that follows Kane wherever he goes as he marches down the ramp. As they get to the bottom of the ramp, Kane takes Orton and violently throws him into the ring. Bob can hardly stand up on his feet as Kane climbs in, heading to the center. He sets off his pyro before taking a microphone and speaking.*


[Kane]
Randy! Oh, Randy? Where are you? Where did you go? I thought you were looking for me? Well, guess what. I'm right here, but I'm looking for you! I want to get one thing straight right now, Randy, before we continue with this any further. I am not the prey. You might have yourself all hyped up on being the “Apex Predator,” but that's nothing but a bunch of lies. I am the “Devil's Favorite Demon!” I am the new “Apex Predator!” You are nothing except lonely prey at the bottom of the food chain known as life. I, however, I am setting up on top! And I'm raining hell, fire, and brimstone from above! Unfortunately for you, it's going to come raining down on you. Yet, I do find all of this necessary. Sure, I'm having lots of fun doing this, but that's not my only reason. This isn't just for sick kicks, Randy, no no. Hell, this isn't even about proving that I'm still a monster. This is about taking you down a peg. You, and the bias that is this company, have put yourself on some pedestal. They put you up there as the “great Randy Orton” and all of these sheep, all of these lifeless souls, buy into it and they love you. I'm here to put an end to all of that. I am here to break you physically. I am here to break you mentally. I am here to end you. I will not fail! I cannot fail! I have failed too many times in my career recently to fail once again and continue to let you walk around on this earth.


[Kane]
Far too many failures. I have complied an entire stack of them, but that is all going to change. Everything from when I only held the Intercontinental Championship for a mere two weeks, from when I failed to defeat my own brother, the Undertaker. From the failure of the Ministry of Darkness all the way to me failing to take out Rob Van Dam for good. All of these things will be erased and forgotten. For far too long I have been looked upon as a failure in this company. Nothing more than a joke! That is what I am here to do. To vindicate myself. To let people know I really am a monster. I really am the “Devil's Favorite Demon.” And I'm going to do it by knocking you off your pedestal. I am going to do it by taking your spot. By the time I'll be done with you, you'll be forgotten just like all of my short comings. All of my failures. You'll be a thing of the past, just another one of Kane's victims. Hey! You'll be a thing of the past just like your dear old dad. What ever happened to him anyway, Randy? Where has he been recently? Have you seen him? Oh, that's right! He's right here! With me! Unluckily for him, being with me is just one step closer to being in hell. In fact, he'll be in hell very soon if you cannot save him, Randy. So, I suggest you get out here very soon. The clock is ticking, second by second. Soon time is going to expire and the “Cowboy” is going to have a one way express ticket straight to hell!


[Kane]
Now, I saw you call me out earlier tonight after your match with Shawn Michaels. I don't want you going around thinking that you have my all scared and that's why I didn't go out there and lay you out like I did at Uprising. This is MY game, Randy. My rules! I am doing this on my own time, I'm not letting you have a single ounce of control over any of this. And that's because I want you to get use to it. You're no longer in control, you're finished. Every single opponent you have faced up until this point you have had control over. You had the advantage over them, but that advantage is gone. I took your advantage, threw it on the ground, stomped on it, and then I sent it into an inferno! Everything you know and everything you have become accustomed to is gone. GONE! GONE! GONE! You say all I've done is fuel you to want to hurt me more? You might be able to fool everyone else, but you cannot fool me. You know how you're really feeling. You know what is really going on in that mind of yours. You're scared. You're intimidated. You're out of your element. You might not know it, but you are. You just refuse to accept it and you're telling yourself all of these things just to make yourself feel better! It's actually quite sad that you do these things, but it amuses me. Just like how it's going to amuse me when you try and come out here to save your dad, only to fail. Fail, just like all the times I did.


[Kane]
Come on, Randy! Where are you? I'm starting to get a little tired of this. When are you going to come down here as the knight in shining armor? You don't want to disappoint all of these people, right? You don't want to disappoint your dear old pa, right? Oh well then, I guess we can play this game a little bit longer. Now, you said something else early tonight that caught my attention. You wanted me to imagine how it would go when you came after me for revenge. Oh, I can picture it right now and it's beautiful! I'll be standing right here, with the “Cowboy” all tied up, sitting in the corner like he is right now. Then you come charging out to the ring, and you come at me with all your might. You throw punch after punch, kick after kick, RKO after RKO. In the end, none of them take me down. You're too foolish to run, so you continue to attack me. I take my hand and I wrap it around your neck, taking all of the air out of your lungs. Then I hoist you up into the air and send you back down, down to hell, right next to your father! It'll be a family reunion, and do I love family reunions! I just love how you think this is going to end well for you, but let me crush that dream for you. It's not. I'll make the phrase “happily ever after” will be irrelevant! It'll be three words no one will ever here again for as long as their poor existence walks around on this planet.


[Kane]
I have one more question for you, and then I'm done. Do you remember the night you kicked me in the skull? Because I do. I remember the embarrassment and the humiliation. Being carted off like a mere mortal just because you kicked me in the head. The torture of that night has haunted me ever since, but now I am going to pass it onto to you and your father. Only problem is, your father isn't going to remember any of this. *Kane turns to Bob Orton and gets in his face while speaking to him.* Bob, I'm through waiting for your son to come out here. I will give him one more minute, just sixty more seconds. If he's not out here by then, you know exactly where you're going. *Kane cackles in his face before turning back to the stage.* And the count begins now! One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Elven! Twelve! Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen! Eighteen! Nineteen! Twenty! Twenty-one! Twenty-two! Twenty-three! Twenty-four! Twenty-five! Twenty-six! Twenty-seven! Twenty-eight! Twenty-nine! Thirty!

*As Kane reaches the half way mark of his count, he turns to Bob and grabs him by the throat1*

[Kane]
Thirty-one! Thirty-two! Thirty-



*The crowd explodes as Kane drops Bob Orton in the ring, but he's smiling. Randy Orton then walks out onto the stage, looking intense as all hell.*



Jim Ross: Business has picked up!

Jerry “the King: Here we go!

*Randy wastes no more time and sprints straight to the ring. The fans are cheering wildly as Randy connects with punch after punch to Kane's skull. Kane isn't even able to get a single shot in as Orton is relentless in his strikes. Kane staggers as Orton bounces off the ropes, taking him down with the Thez Press! He continues to hammer in the shots, Kane defenseless against the assault from the “Viper.” Orton, now having naturalized the monster, picks him up and tosses him out of the ring. He heads over to the corner and tends to his dad, who is visibly beaten and battered. He tries to untie him, unaware Kane was playing possum the entire time! He slides back into the ring and clobbers Orton in the back of the head. He stomps on his back repeatedly, causing severe damage to the spine. He picks him up and begins to hit with his own strikes, attacking the mid-section and the skull of Orton. He forces him back into the corner where he continues the onslaught, causing his rival to slide down into the corner. Kane takes his boot and chokes Randy with it as his father helplessly watches on. Randy seems to be knocked out cold by the time Kane finally takes his boot away. He turns back to Bob Orton and grabs him by the throat again. He drags him to the center of the ring and lifts him up, but Randy attacks him from behind for the save!*

*The two continue to go at it, Orton getting the real advantage this time. Kane has been taken completely off guard and Orton has him right where he wants him. He throws him to the apron and punches right in the gut. Kane hunches over the middle rope, allowing Randy to hit the Hangman's DDT! Randy is getting fired up now as he goes into “that place,” pouncing on the mat. He stalks Kane as he slowly gets up onto his feet. He turns him around and goes for the RKO, only to pushed off! He goes tumbling to the outside and Kane is in hot pursuit. Randy crawls to the side of the announcer's table and grabs a steel chair, unknowingly to Kane. The “Big Red Monster” tries to grab him, but is stabbed by the chair in the gut! He falls to one knee and Orton slams the chair into his spine, much to the delight of the crowd. He lifts the chair up and goes for a head shot, but Kane grabs him by the throat. He smiles before tossing Orton over the announcer's table, all thee announcers quickly getting out of harm's way. Kane clears off the table as he climbs to the other side. Orton fights back, striking Kane in the head again. He has him up against the announcer's table before he clothesline him right over it. He then takes a monitor and smacks Kane in the head with it, sending him back into the ring dazed.*

*Randy grabs the steel chair from before and slides it back into the ring. He enters and picks it up, but Kane has enough time to recover and he nails Randy with the big boot! Before anything else can be done, referees and staff rush out to the ring to try and stop the fight and save Bob Orton. Kane starts to fight them off, taking each one down with a swift uppercut. Randy gets back up and starts tossing some of them out of the ring too, much to everyone's surprise. After the ring is cleared, sans Kane and Orton, Randy tells him “No one's getting in my way of kicking your head off your skull!” Kane chuckles and the two go back at it again, each man trading strikes back and forth. The area is in complete chaos as staff members and referees are down, while the announcer's barely know where they are. Bob Orton still can't even stand in the ring as Kane and Orton continue to slug at each other in the ring. Kane starts to get some serious momentum and takes Randy down with a sidewalk slam. While down on the mat, Orton grabs the chair for a third time and drives it straight into Kane's knee. He falls, allowing Orton to smack him straight in the head with the chair! The fans cheer as Orton drives it into his spine multiple times until he throws it out of the ring. Kane rolls out to the floor as Randy unties his father in the corner.*

Jim Ross: Finally! Randy has tackled the beast and saved his father!

Michael Cole: That was close, look at all the carnage here!

Jerry “the King” Lawler: At least “Cowboy” Bob has finally been saved.

*Randy helps his dad to his feet in the center of the ring, all of the fans applauding the “Viper” for his efforts. Everything seems to have turned out alright when Kane comes back in the ring with a lead pipe, slamming it into Orton's spine! Bob falls down as well while Randy crawls around on the mat, not being able to stand after such a shot. Kane kneels down and places his glove over Randy's mouth, suffocating him. With each passing second, Randy fights less and less until he eventually fades. His eyes close and his body is still in the corner of the ring. Kane turns back to Bob Orton, who is trying to get away by any means. Kane looks down at him and shakes his head before picking him up and turning him upside down.*

Jim Ross: Oh my god! No! No! He's going to Tombstone him!

*Kane seals the deal when he brings Bob to the mat, the Tombstone connecting. Bob Orton is motionless in the ring, just like his son Randy. Kane drags Randy to the center of the ring and puts him right next to his father. He sets off his pyro again and stands over the both of them, laughing like the evil maniac he is. Breakdown goes to a commercial break with the shot of Kane towering over the Orton family.*

With The Miz and Aries in ring the camera’s are just about picking up what they have to say as they stand mid-argument to who will start the match first.

The Miz
I’ll start Aries don’t worry, I’m 2 years younger and I’m the most must see superstar so I’m just giving these people want they want.

Austin Aries
No, I’m the greatest man alive and the people want to see ME. So I’ll start first and I’ll weaken him down so it’s easier for you when I tag you in.

The Miz
No, I can’t trust you, so because I’m the better wrestler I’ll start first then tag you in.

Both men are cut off as John Morrison’s theme hits to the delight of the fans.



The following contest is a handicap match, set for one fall. Introducing first, from Los Angeles California, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison!

John Morrison comes out from the back energetic as ever, not visibly bothered by the fact that he's booked in a handicap match. The camera singles in on a female fan who jumps up from her seat, clapping at the sight of John Morrison.



[Jim Ross]: Ladies and gentlemen, this young man, John Morrison, is of course, scheduled to defend his Intercontinental Championship, at the grandest stage of them all, Final Stand, the 5th anniversary, but against who? We might find that out tonight.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]: Right JR, last week, ended in a bit of controversy when John Morrison pinned both the Miz and Austin Aries in a match he officiated.

[Michael Cole]: We found out earlier that he didn't even get permission to officiate the match, he should be fired, stripped of his championship, he doesn't deserve to be champ.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]: Simmer down Cole, Austin Aries and The Miz have a chance at a title shot tonight.

[Jim Ross]: The man that pins Morrison will indeed receive a title shot to go one-on-one with the Intercontinental Champion at Final Stand. However, if Morrison is victorious tonight, neither man will get the title shot. It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out.

[Michael Cole]: Controversy is bound to happen.

Morrison stops at the top of the ramp and poses while fireworks appear in back of him as the crowd cheers him on.



The cameras pan out and look around at the crowd tonight as this crowd is like any other XWL crowd, electric. Morrison struts down the ramp and onto the apron and the camera yet again singles out a fan who has a sign that says "Morrison Rocks".



The Intercontinental Champion steps inside of the ring and onto the turnbuckle and poses for his fans, as they cheer him on. He hops down and awaits his opponents for the night.



Michael Cole
Here we go all three men in the ring and I can’t wait to see Austin Aries and The Miz to get there revenge on that lying excuse for a champion.

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler
Well Cole, I think you’l find things worked out for the best as now we will finally see a set number one contender which we’ve tried on 2 separate occasions now.

As Morrison hopped off the top rope he turns and gives his title to the referee who gives it to the timekeeper outside. Morrison then raises his right hand in a slow motion signature fashion to both his opponents tonight showing not an ounce of being intimidated by facing two opponents in this match up. He removes his sunglasses and tosses them to a lucky fan on one of the front rows. As the ref looks ready for the match to begin both Aries and The Miz stay put in the ring as the ref asks one of them to wait on the apron. Both men look at each other and almost immediately in great unison they both run and take down Morrison Miz with a shoulder block and Aries with a clothesline and both start hammering down fists and stomps. The referee is lucky to get inbetween this mugging and orders one man to get out or he will DQ them both which means John Morrison will be the winner and therefore both of them will lose the chance to become number one contender. As the ref manages to push both men near enough to the ropes it looks as though the only way to put an end to this stubborn attitude would be to ring the bell and end the match as a DQ but before such action is needed John Morrison grabs the nearest one of his two opponents turns them around and begins a few forearm smashes to the face before leaning them against the ropes then irsh whipping them towards the opposing ones and as they come back Morrison lands a perfect dropkick to Austin Aries. So as this takes place the bell rings meaning The Miz is the illegal man and stands confused in the corner of the ring and the ref begins his count. Reaching a count of 3 and as Aries seems to be slowly getting to his feet looking dazed John Morrison also takes it into his own hands to run at The Miz and take him to the outside of the ring with a clothesline against the ropes.

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler
It’s about time! Both those idiots couldn’t decide on who to start this match nearly cost them there opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship!

Michael Cole
Well King that excuse for a champion in the middle of the ring should of given them time to settle their differences and decided on who would start.

Jim Ross
Cole, did you not just see that both men attacked John Morrison before the bell had even rung so I think he was right in order to take matters into his own hands. And, I also believe that with so much miscommunication within the team or Aries and The Miz, John Morrison stands an excellent chance at eliminating both of these superstars from his troubles at Final Stand.

Michael Cole
You saw what happened to Ted earlier didn’t you JR? Thats what happens in handicap matches and thats what will happen here. Except I don’t know who will get the pin between Aries and The Miz but whoever it is will undoubtedly become champion at Final Stand.

Jerry ‘The King ‘ Lawler
Well Cole, we will have to wait and see but I already know however this match pans out it will be one for the ages as it will determine the future of the Intercontinental Championship!

As Morrison begins to laugh at The Miz as seemingly Morrison has just single handily embarrassed both of his opponents in the space of a few seconds he is unaware of Aries being back on his feet and quickly rolled up.

Kickout from Morrison.
As The Miz heard the 2 count he is quickly on the apron shouting at his partner to tag him in to no avail at all. Morrison and Aries both circle each other and lock up. Morrison the taller of the two seemingly uses his height advantage to push Aries into the far right corner and as he pushes Aries further back the ref asks him to release the hold which he does but quickly fires in a mean chop that echo’s around the arena followed by ‘wooo’ chants from the audience as Aries falls to the mat and rolls outside the ring. The Miz hops off the apron asking Aries to get back into the ring and stop wasting his time. The cameras pick up Aries reply by saying ‘This is my match and I will win it in my own way, now stand back on that apron like a good boy and watch greatness in action’. As The Miz looks to raise his hand and deliver a blow to the skull of his partner in this match up the crowds cheers can be heard to become increasingly louder as Morrison can be seen charging towards the ropes as he summersaults over the top rope heading towards both The Miz and Austin Aries.

Seconds before he can connect The Miz dives onto Austin Aries in a movie style fashion saving both him and Aries from this attack as John Morrison ends up empty handed as he crashes and burns hard onto the thin layer of mats on the outside of the ring. The ref begins to recount from one as a confused Aries looks at The Miz. ‘Did you just save me from that?’
‘Yeah were partners for tonight remember’ The Miz replys as Austin looks on in shock. ‘I mean come on man, we may aswell both take this guy out together and may the best man win the title shot’
Austin Aries doesn’t quite know what to make of this surprise alliance The Miz is offering but hold out his hand regardless. *The Miz and Austin Aries shake hands*. A nod is exchanged between the two men as they both pick up Morrison and roll him back into the ring. Austin Aries climbs to the top rope as The Miz hops onto the apron next to him. Aries seems to be setting himself for a 450 splash but an aware Morrison rolls further to the opposite side of the ring looking to get as far away as he can.

Michael Cole
Well there we have it! Like I said, they have put their differences aside and now both of these fantastic superstars will get their vengeance that they deserve!

Jim Ross
I wouldn’t count your chickens too fast Cole. I wouldn’t trust either of these men if my life depended on it.

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler
JR’s right Cole. These two men are two snakes in the grass in this company and I somehow don’t think this alliance will last too long.

Aries hops of the top rope and looks over at The Miz and tags him in! The Miz nods and seems to be happy with the newly formed alliance. Morrison staggers to his feet holding his lower back seeming to of done some serious damage with the outside dive attempt he missed before. The Miz charges towards him and hits his signature clothesline into the corner as Morrison falls forward The Miz sits inbetween the top and middle rope with a smug grin on his face as the audience begin to boo. The Miz hovers above John Morrison before he drives he knee into the spine of Morrison pulling back on his cheeks as he rips open the mouth of his opponent in an aggressive manor. The ref reaches a 3 and a half count and The Miz releases the hold. He looks over to his partner Austin Aries who is clapping and nodding giving The Miz some surprising encouragement. The Miz turns his attention back to the grounded John Morrison who has managed to crawl his way to the ropes and lift himself up where the Miz charges at towards him only to be met by two feet to the face as Morrison uses the ropes to his advantage leaning on them for leverage. As The Miz stumbles backwards Morrison looks to capitalise as he bounces of the ropes and attempts a clothesline but The Miz successfully counters it into a swinging neckbreaker. He quickly follows up with a succession of 5 stomps to the chest and drags a groggy Morrison towards his corner. He tags in Aries who gets to the top rope and signals for the 450 splash again. He stands tall and seconds before he looks to jump The Miz holds his arm out infront of Aries stopping him from executing it and shouts ‘Not yet he’s getting up, just wait a second’. As Aries looks confused at his partner he’s not far off as Morrison looks to have a quick burst of energy as he looks to stand up then dives towards the Miz with a forearm to the face knocking him to the outside and catching the top rope knocking Austin Aries legs either side of the turnbuckle. A hung up Aries is then defenceless as Morrison hits a springboard dropkick knocking Aries to the outside as well.

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler
I told you that their inability to cooperate would play a part in this match!

Jim Ross
It’s inevitable when you have two huge ego’s on one team. Let me be the first to say that I won’t be surprised if John Morrison is able to exploit this weakness and win the match for himself.

Michael Cole
Have you guys heard yourselves! It’s a two on one! Two of the very best superstars this company has and a cheating current champion. Do the math please you pair of idiots!

As Morrison uses this time wisely to regain himself The Miz is the first up outside the ring who aids his partner by rolling him back into the ring at the count of 5, Aries still a little dazed from a tough knock on the head that he received when falling high of the top rope to the outside. Morrison lifts up Aries and hits quick snap suplex and rolls over for the cover.

Kickout from Aries.
Morrison then gets up followed quickly by Aries and both lock up and Morrison like earlier uses his height advantage to lean against Aries and over power him into the corner where he breaks the hold quickly as Aries gets in a quick thumb to the eye and perches onto the top rope looking for a crossbody but Morrison see’s this coming and hits a dropkick mid air leaving Aries winded and in pain at the side of the ring. Instead of going for the pin he lays out Aries and signals for the Starship Pain to much delight from the audience. He takes one more look at Aries before executing the finishing manoeuvre perfectly and covering Austin Aries with The Miz looking on in a odd way not really looking like he wants to get himself involved.

Thr... Kickout.
A very close call for The Miz and Austin Aries as Morrison turns and eyeballs The Miz as he takes a few steps back and waits for Aries to get to his feet. Now standing Aries takes an onslaught from Morrison for a few minutes as he takes blows to the body and to the face and also on the receiving end of a german suplex and an inch perfect enziguri . Morrison very much now on top of this match seems to have the momentum and the crowd behind him which could very well be the deciding factor here. The Miz begins to shout something to Morrison which catches his attention for a split second then Morrison seemingly looks to lose interest and focus back onto Aries who is waiting for him to turn round as he kicks him in the gut and lifts him ready to hit his finishing brainbuster! Just as he has Morrison high above his head and ready to send him crashing down to the mat The Miz enters the ring and pulls Morrison down and hits the Skull Crushing Finale!!!

Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler
Whats The Miz doing! He’s going to get disqualified!

Michael Cole
No he won’t King! They will only be disqualified if he breaks up a pinfall!

Jim Ross
Nevertheless Cole, I still have no idea what he’s playing at, Austin Aries is the legal man and The Miz has no choice but to get out of the ring or he will be counted out by the ref and lose either way!

The camera picks up bits of the dialogue shared by The Miz and Austin Aries. Aries says to his partner ‘What the hell are you playing at man! I’ve got this!’
‘Don’t worry Austin, I’m helping you out just keep going!’
With this being said The Miz gets out of the ring and a curious Austin Aries follows him. As the referee checks on Morrison for a brief few seconds The Miz grabs a steel chair from under the ring and hits the steel steps with it and turns back to Aries and tosses him the chair. Out of instinct Aries catches it and The Miz drops to the floor like he’s been shot. Hearing the huge bang the referee looks outside the ring and see’s a grounded Miz and Austin Aries with a chair and asks for the bell to be rung. The referee shrugs his shoulders and looks towards the ramp for some assistance debating with himself whether or not he has made the correct decision.

Jerry ‘The king’ Lawler
Whats just happened! I have no idea what The Miz thinks he’s playing at. Does this mean The Miz has won through DQ?

Michael Cole
I’m not entirely sure myself King. But if your right then The Miz is a genius.

Jim Ross
I don’t think either of you are right i’m afraid. I don’t think the referee made the correct decision in ringing that bell but maybe he thought it was the right thing to do because they are not official partners. Only time will tell when we get our GM’s view on this hopefully tonight or next week at the earliest.

As Austin Aries looks down to The Miz in complete shock, The Miz is caught giving Aries a quick wink which really sends his partner into a rage now. Aries lifts up the chair and looks to strike down on The Miz but as he raises the chair above his head John Morrison picks it out of his hands from inside the ring and rolls out and begins to chase Aries but only gets as far as The Miz whos hits a dropkick to Morrison’s right knee sending him crashing over face first into the chair he was holding. Both The Miz and Aries reach out to grab the chair from underneath Morrison and The Miz is the first there and drives it into Aries’ gut, as he keels over he fires down a veracious strike to the top of his skull looking to of knocked him clean out. Aries falls as Morrison looks to get up to one knee but soon suffers the same fate as Aries as the echoing sound of steel on bone sends chills down the spines of the viewers. The Miz looking happy with his work leaves both the bodies laying outside the ring as he asks for Morrison’s belt and stands on the turnbuckle signalling that this will soon be his. The audience look to be angry at The Miz’s actions and shower him in negative boo’s and chants as XWL cuts out to a commercial break as The Miz jumps off the ropes and stands in the center of the ring and hits a pose to the camera as the screen slowly fades out to a blank screen.

Chris Sabin Vs Davey Richards









Sabin’s done it! He's stopped The Lone Wolf Davie Richards in this tracks and got the pin! Chris Sabin struggles to his feet after a long high impact match and pulls his way over to the turnbuckle as Richards rolls out of the ring in agony near the commentators table. Sabin taunts for the crowd for a bit but his ankle is nagging him from a tumble he took earlier in the match so he hops off of the turnbuckle and nearly folds under the weight of it, he lets out a small cry of pain and asks for the referee to come and help him but on the outside a now alert Davey Richards has taken notice...

Without a second to waste Richards tosses the timekeeper aside and grabs his chair before running towards the ring and sliding in, Sabin has his back turned and doesn't see a thing but before long he crumbles to the mat with a sickening chair shot to the back of the head! With Sabin on the ground with a potential concussion Richards starts to stomp on his ankle before unloading on it with three big chair shots! The crowd watches on with a collective gasp as he drops the chair and applies his signature ankle lock! Chris Sabin’s yells of agony can be heard in the cheap seats as Richards wrenches it around with no remorse! Referees enter the ring forcing Richards to release the hold but the angry Wolf grabs the chair and swings it in their direction and before you can blink they leave the ring just as quickly as they got there.

With his prey struggling to move, Richards takes the chair and wraps it around to ankle of Sabin, he then does a cut throat taunt and heads to the turnbuckle where he climbs to the very top rope! Richards looks just about to jump when all of a sudden Shelley comes running through the crowd! Alex slides into the ring as Davey quickly hops down to the outside of the ring and backs up the ramp with a pissed off look on his face as he watches Alex take the chair from Chris's leg. Before long a loud boo takes over the arena as Eddie Edwards comes strolling down the ramp! The American Wolves smirk as they start to walk back towards the ring but all of a sudden a voice comes over the P.A and the general manager appears on the titantron...

Hulk Hogan:
Woah! Woah! Woah! Easy there you two! You're on my show tonight and on Breakdown we fight like men, in that ring! You might have lost your first match here brother but it doesn't give you the right to throw a tantrum!

[Davey Richards]
He got lucky!

Hulk Hogan:
Yeah, yeah, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that brother! Here's what's gonna happen, Eddie you and Alex have yourselves a match tonight and since you look ready to rip each other apart, that match will take place right now! Oh...And Sabin brother, you're gonna have to be taken to the in house doctor in the back, you can't stay out there. That's an order.

The American Wolves let evil smiles take over them as it becomes a handicap situation at ringside for Edwards vs Shelley as the Guns look on distraught, but then...

Hulk Hogan:
Oh and Richards, for your conduct after your match up, you are banned from ringside! If you so much as show your face out here again you will be suspended immediately! You got that Jack?!

[Davey Richards]
WHAT?!

[Eddie Edwards]
It's okay, I've got this. Go put your feet up, it won't take long.

Richards looks ready to blow a fuse but the look from his tag team partner calms him down immediately as he starts to back up the ramp, walking the opposite way from Eddie who heads to the ring to meet the other half of the Motor City Machine Guns... and the moment he enters the ring Shelley charges and tackles Edwards to the ground! Shelley shouts “I’ll kill you, you son of a bitch!” as he really lays it in with the punches until Edwards rolls him over and connects with some fists of his own.

The Referee has already lost control of this before the bell even rings and he watches helplessly as the two men continue to roll each other over until they fall right out of the ring! Edwards and Shelley get up and Edwards thumbs Shelley in the eye then grabs him and throws him into the barricade! Edwards leans over Shelley ad begins trash talking while he stomps a mudhole in him and the crowd breaks out in a chant of “Motor City” hoping to will one of their favorite superstars to a comeback.

Suddenly Shelley throws up his fist and it hits Edwards square in the groin causing him to collapse in the ground as his body is racked by pain. Shelley pulls himself to his feet and flips Edwards off then he goes for a shoot kick straight to the head but misses as Edwards ducks under it. As Shelley spins around after connect with nothing but air, Edwards returns the favor and low blows the Machine Gun from behind and Shelley crumbles to the ground. Edwards crawls over to him and starts wailing away at Shelley’s unprotected face when suddenly the crowd explodes with some huge cheers.

The camera cuts over to the ramp where Sabin is shown limping as fast as he can over to ringside to aide his partner and when Edwards notices he stops attacking Shelley and stares at the wounded man coming his way. Edwards gets up and has a smirk on his face as he beckons Sabin over to join the fun. Sabin stops short and hesitantly takes a few steps towards Edwards who eventually loses his patience and begins making his move towards Sabin.

Sabin’s role as a distraction works perfectly as Shelley is able to connect with a superkick straight to the back of the head and before Edwards can fall Sabin grabs him by the head and hits a huge tornado DDT! The people are cheering as hard as they can now because The Machine Guns are now in firm control. Shelley and Sabin exchange a look as they both realize that Richards won’t risk losing his job to come out here to make the save.

Shelley slides into the ring while Sabin pulls the groggy Edwards to his feet and sets him up for the neckbreaker. Shelley climbs to the top and that’s when the people finally realize what’s going on. Shelley dives off the top and the Machine Guns connect with Skull and Bones to the outside! Sabin sits up and you can tell he’s quite pleased with what they were able to accomplish, but all color drains from his face when he realizes, with horror, that Shelley seems to have hurt himself almost as much as they hurt Edwards.

The camera picks up Shelley saying “My ribs, my ribs” as Sabin helps him to his feet. Together, The Motor City Machine Guns, help each other up the ramp, wounded but not defeated. The American Wolves won the battle last week, but the Machine Guns were able to even the score. However, at the rate these two teams are going will they have anything left in the tank to finish this war?

As Breakdown returns from a commercial break the cameras are rolling inside the arena as Mankind's theme starts to play through the PA system to the annoyance of the fans in attendance



As smoke filters through the staging, Mankind slowly walks out onto the titantron as the fans boo his re-arrival tonight, and Mankind starts to slowly make his way to the ring



Jim Ross: This isn't the first time we've seen this man tonight, of course to start the show he lost to the debuting Violent J in what can only be considered as a huge upset.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: You can say that again JR, I don't think anybody was expecting Violent J to come out with a victory tonight especially against this lunatic.

As Mankind slowly walks down the ramp the crowd continue to boo him, then he rolls into the ring under the bottom rope

Jim Ross: Mankind really hasn't been himself lately...

Michael Cole: I don't even think he knows how himself really is, he's probably just been off as Dude Love or Cactus Jack for a few weeks, you never know with this idiot, he's crazy and I can't believe he's even still around here.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Who knows what he's been up to? Mankind's a deeply deranged man, I'm not sure I even want to know what he's been doing.

Mankind grabs a microphone and stands in the middle of the ring as the lighting turns a dark blue and his music slowly fades out and is replaced by the constant booing from the crowd



Mankind: You people...

As the booing from the fans continues Mankind stops speaking for a moment, waiting from the booing to quieten down

Mankind: You people disgust me, you all just sit there cheering for whoever you're told to cheer for... You're nothing more then mindless drones following and chanting for whoever you're damn well told to chant for. You don't care about right or wrong, you don't care that I've wronged in the worst way possible, I am the victim here, but YOU don't care about that do you? Nobody cares that they've taken from me, what wasn't there’s to take.

Mankind kneels down as he continues speaking

Mankind: What did I ever do to you people to deserve to be treated like this? You're all nothing but vermin, but you have no idea what you've even become... You are all the ugliest side of humanity, booing me, crossing to the other side of the street when you see me coming, pointing and staring at me like I'm some sort of freak... What did I ever do to deserve that?



Mankind: And don't pretend that it's me that's the problem here, YOU PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM! You're the problem here, not me! One day you were cheering me, but then you people changed and you vilified me for no reason apart from you didn't understand why I'm why I am how I am, but the answer couldn't be more obvious it's just easier for you to ignore it. Through out my entire career... no scratch that, through out my entire life I've always been the laughing stock, just another outcast and just another circus freak to you people and now is the time for you all to understand exactly how I feel.

Mankind starts to hit himself in the head with his forearm a few times screaming at himself whilst he does so, then he picks his microphone back up and starts speaking again

Mankind: This is only going to be the beginning of the end for each and every one of you, this is no longer a place for heroes, it's no longer a place where the good guy always win, it's a place of pain... and misery that will be provided by me... for each and everyone of you!



Mankind: There will soon become a day where you all see the truth and recognize your mistakes but by then it will be nothing but too late. When I'm through nobody will dare take from me like they've done far too many times in the past.

Mankind gets back to his feet, standing tall in the middle of the ring as he continues with his tirade

Mankind: From here on out you people, the very same people who cheered when I got fired, YOU CHEERED! You turned your damn backs on me and it makes me damn sick and you have the nerves and good old Jim Ross had the nerves to treat me like an inadequate being, like I don't belong here when the reality is it couldn't be any further from the truth.

As the camera man tires to get a close up shot of Mankind, he pushes the camera away from him shielding his face from the lens



Mankind: This company, this show is rightfully and I damn well know that I belong here. How can you people come into the house I built and boo me, you don't have the right to boo me!

Mankind goes back down to the floor rocking back and forth in the middle of the ring squealing at himself until he grabs the microphone again hiding his face away, still in a ball on the mat

Mankind: I'm the one leading this company back to where it belongs, I'm the one making this place better for all of...

*Mankind goes to finish speaking when suddenly…



*The camera pans quickly towards the stage as the sound of none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin’s music blares throughout the arena. As the fans get to their feet and cheer at the top of their lungs Mankind can be seen in the ring screaming for them all to calm down. That Austin is not coming out here and that it’s his time.

In that same instance the camera darts back to the stage and moments later Austin appears on stage. After a few minutes he looks towards the ring directly at the confused yet angered Mankind. Austin smirks and slowly makes his way down to the ringside area. He ask for a microphone and is obliged by a ringside worker. Austin looks taking in all the crowd. Then quickly over at the angered Foley. He smirks and slowly raises his mic up towards his mouth to speak*



Austin
Did I hear you right? You’re out here flapping your gums and whining and complaining to these people that they disgust you?

Crowd
What?!

Austin
They make you sick to your stomach?

Crowd
What?!

Austin
Like you’re gonna throw up? Are you gonna throw up? Because this ain’t the time nor the place for that son. This is a wrestling ring. Nobody wants to see you out here whining and crying… Waaahh Wahhhh I got fired and you people turned your backs on me. Do you really believe that or are you just stupid son?!

Crowd
What?!

*The crowd begins to cheer loudly for Austin who pauses before speaking yet again*



Austin
You keep talking about how these people are the reason you got fired and that they don’t know what true pain is? That they don’t know what you’ve been through? Well, how about you tell ole Stone Cold Steve Austin what you’ve been through? If y’all wanna hear what ole Mankind has been through gimme a hell yeah!

*The camera pans around the arena as all the audience just simply sits there silent and motionless. Austin shakes his head and clears his throat before speaking again*



Austin
I don’t know about you son, but, I don’t think these people want to hear any more of your crap! Now you wanna come out here flapping your gums blaming people left and right for you getting fired. Talking this and talking that about how they don’t know what YOU’VE been through? You say okay fine then I’m done with that. If you people don’t need me or want me then I don’t need you. Is that what you’re telling me right now? You’re saying that their going to feel the pain you’ve felt is that it you sorry some bitch?

Crowd
What?!

Austin
Well, son I’m sorry to tell you this but, you ain’t got nobody to blame about this sack of crap but yourself. You walk your fat ass out here in the middle of this ring and you’re blaming these people for what happened to you? Son, I’m not sure how right you are in your head but, it’s because of THESE people that you come out here and sacrifice your body each and every week. It’s because of these people that I come out to this ring each and every week, stomp a few mudholes here, drop a few stunners there and then roll on backstage and have me a big ole case of beer. So here’s what I tell you we’re gonna do. How about you look these people in the face and you apologize and admit you’re in the wrong here and if you don’t ole Stone Cold Steve Austin will make you and that’s all I got to say about that!



Mankind: What do you think you threaten me Steve? Is that it huh? You're just like all of them Austin, every last one of them. You turned your back on me just like they did! And you know what else you're just like The Rock, just like him. You stand here with your silly little catchphrases and these people will follow you to the ends of the earth and for what reason? They're just puppets, and YOU are the puppet master and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and listen to your crap about being a man of the people when we both know, we both know it Austin! That you're just using them to get your way to the top. And they're actually falling for it, with their "What" chants.

Crowd
What?!

Mankind: You can sit up on your high horse Austin, but we both know you're no better than anybody else in the back!

*Austin pauses for a few minutes and just looks around momentarily. Suddenly he gets just inches from Mankind’s face and speaks staring into Mankind’s cold, dead eyes.*



Austin
So, what you’re saying is, is that ole Stone Cold is a puppet master?

Crowd
What?!

Austin
These people are dummies

Crowd
What?!

Austin
They’ve got a bunch of strings tied to them

Crowd
What?!

Austin
& that ole Stone Cold is the one pulling them? Is that what you’re telling me right now son?

*Mankind doesn’t answer and Austin just laughs before speaking again*



Austin
You’re claiming that ole Stone Cold is a puppet master and that they’ll follow me to the ends of the earth. Well, son if that’s true, how about we do a little experiment. I’m gonna ask these people a question and we’ll see what happens. Is that clear you mealy-mouthed bastard?

Crowd
What?!

Austin
If y’all have had enough of this some bitch talking out his ass and y’all want ole Stone Cold Steve Austin to open up the biggest can on him then gimme a hell yeah!

Crowd
Hell Yeah!



Austin
You see son. The fact of the matter is this. These people come here to see us put our bodies on the line each and every single week. Not to hear us whine and complain. That just waist their time and ours. So what we’re gonna do is this. If you think I’m trying to use these people to get to the top how about we settle this right here and now and I drop you on that stack of dimes you call a neck. Roll you on out through those ropes. Drop some elbows on you and stun your ass back to the unemployment line. You’re looking to get some respect and be taken seriously? Well, son, there ain’t nobody more serious than Stone Cold Steve Austin. So, how about you stop flapping your gums and wipe that stupid look off that face of yours or am I gonna have to do it for you?

*Austin locks eyes with the deranged Mankind and doesn’t move one inch*

Mankind: Well Austin why don't you just do that..

Mankind quickly drops his microphone and hits Austin across the face with a forearm, but Austin quickly returns with a punch to Mankind's face and the two men start to exchange blows in the ring, answering each shot recieved with a shot of their own

Michael Cole: Austin and Mankind! Steve Austin and Mankind are going at it in the middle of the ring!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: This has broken down real fast and these two men, if we know a thing about them are merciless, they won't stop on the counts of compassion, they just like to hurt people.

As Austin and Mankind continue to trade blows in the middle of the ring Mankind starts to slowly gain the advantage punching away at Austin's head forcing him to back into a turnbuckle

Jim Ross: Mankind's getting the better of Austin right now, as he's down so often in the past with his past opponents but this isn't even a damn match, this is just a fight, and its a fight that Mankind is winning.

With Mankind firmly on top he begin to slow down the speed between his punches, and punch after punch continue to connect to Austin's head trying to force him into a seated position, but as Mankind winds up for a punch, Austin grabs him by the shirt and throws Mankind into the corner and quickly goes to town on him with right handed punches

Michael Cole: Mankind's got him in the corner, Austin's got nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

Jim Ross: Believe me, Austin isn't trying to hide from anyone, he's always stood tall in the face of a fight and now isn't going to be any different.

Continuing to attack Mankind, Austin switches to Gut Kicks as Mankind falls into a seated position and Austin refuses to stop the attack stomping a mudhole and after each shot the crowd shout "What!"

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Just listen to this crowd, they're fully behind Austin and rightfully so, and he's taking it to Mankind, he has him in that corner and he doesn't look like he's going to let up any time soon.

Austin quickly stops kicking Mankind to flip him the double bird but Mankind rakes Austin in the eyes and pushes him Austin up against the ropes as Mankind quickly starts to punch away at Austin, then grabbing him by the arm and tries to whip him, but Austin blocks it and whips Mankind against the ropes and as he rebounds Mankind ducts under a swinging arm from Austin and rebounds off the opposite ropes but as he charges again at Austin he's planted to the mat by a Lou Thesz Press followed by the series of quick punches from the Rattlesnake. Then Stone Cold gets back to his feet and hits the ropes coming back and hitting Mankind with a Pointed Elbow Drop

Michael Cole: This is vintage Austin right now, and we both know what's about to happen.

Jim Ross: Austin's only got one thing on his mind, and that's the Stunner, if he hits that Mankind will be out like a light.

Stone Cold lays in wait for Mankind to get to his feet and the crowd know exactly what's about to come, so as Mankind gets to his feet facing away from Austin, they all stand on their feet, then as Mankind turns around he sees Austin and knows exactly what he's about to do so quickly exits the ring as the crowd start to boo Mankind backing out of the fight and he jumps over the barricade and walks through the crowd with Austin still standing in the ring as his music starts to play again



Jim Ross: Just look at Mankind, running through the damn crowd like a scolded dog, he didn't want a thing to do with Austin tonight and he knows it.

Michael Cole: But he isn't going to give up that easily, if you think this is the last we've seen between these to, I've got a feeling you're very wrong, and if we know anything about Mankind it's you never know when he's going to strike.

As Mankind escapes through the crowd, Austin climbs up the near by turnbuckle, watching him escape as he raises his arms up, saluting the crowd



Jim Ross: I don't know about that, but I do know tonight, Austin got the better of Mankind.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: But he's playing with fire JR, and I get that Austin fears no one, but he should at least be cautious of Mankind, he might of bit off more than he can chew.

Jim Ross: That could be the case but this is the Rattlesnake he's dealing with here and if tonight is any indication of things, Austin is more than capable of holding his own against Mankind!

Austin signals for a beer and a beer is thrown to him, then a second beer, which Austin catches both, and he opens each can and smashes them both together above his head and pours them into his mouth as the cameras slowly fade out and Breakdown heads to a commercial break

As Breakdown continues Madison Eagles is stood backstage smiling at the camera



Madison Eagles: Things have been getting a little crazy around here lately, and tonight is a perfect example of that, tonight I'm going one of one with the scream queen herself MsChif. Now it's no secret, me and MsChif, we go way back, almost three years ago I beat MsChif for the SHIMMER Woman's Athletes championship, you know this belt right here.

Eagles pats the championship on her shoulder as she keeps talking

Madison Eagles: And I proceeded to hold that belt for well over five hundred days, only ending when I got injured. And in that reign that's when people saw me for who I really am, they saw me as the best, the best female wrestler alive today and it all started with her. And just like back then she was nothing more than a catalyst, tonight for me I start a new journey and once again it begins with Madison Eagles knocking out MsChif in the middle of the ring and hitting her with Hellbound and pinning her one, two, three in the middle of the ring. But what exactly does that mean?

Madison looks down at the ground for a second or two before looking back up at the camera



Madison Eagles: It seems to me that there's been a lot of buzz around here recently, a lot of buzz about who, who exactly is going to be in the Miss Money in the Bank ladder match at Final Stand, ask any of the diva's in the back and they'll all say they want to be in that match, right? But the problem is there's only room for four, not everyone can get in. We've seen a whole lot of people disappointed, hell Mia Yim up and quit because he didn't get a spot, she ran her mouth about getting in the match, she even ran her mouth about ME, she told the world she'd win Miss Money in the Bank if she got in and she bragged about beating a bunch of fat losers in a death match who are barely capable on putting on their own boots let alone tie mine. I mean who cares right? Clearly nobody did or she'd still be around, and it's a good job she's up and left too because she disrespected me, and one thing you don't do is disrespect number one, everyone knows I'm the Best in the World and when you mess with me you get knocked out then you'd of been wishing you never came here in the first place.



Almost bemused at Mia Yim's actions Madison can't help but grin

Madison Eagles: Then you can just look around and you can see the amount of woman desperately wishing they could get a chance to go to Final Stand for a chance to climb up that Ladder, go back to Uprising and look at Eve Torres who tried to tell the world she was in the match only to be caught in the lie all along and this week just look at AJ who came so close to getting one of the four spots, but she just wasn't close enough... And then there's Brie Bella, one half of the Gruesome Twosome, she's already in the match so the way I see it, there's only three spots left, and everyone wants to know who's got the golden tickets, who's going to Final Stand with a chance of pulling down that briefcase and getting a guaranteed title shot whenever they want it?

Continuing to talk Madison starts to vastly over-exaggerate what she's saying



Madison Eagles: Who could that chance possibly be going to? Well does it really matter? Who's going to Final Stand, that's what people want to know, well it doesn't matter at the end of the day... at least for the other two spots because one of them is mine, Madison Eagles, the best in the world is going to the show as part of Miss Money in the Bank, and against three other woman.

She pauses for a brief moment and as she speaks again she returns to her regular tone of voice

Madison Eagles: Three others, two of which, well it doesn't matter who, all they need to know is they're stepping into the ring with number one and I'm going to do what I do best and that's kick them in their head and watch their eyes glaze over and their pupils roll into the back of their heads.

Madison looks at the title on her shoulder, and moves it up, ensuring it doesn't fall down

Madison Eagles: Whoever they are better remember that because it will just make it easier them to accept the facts, there's no way, no way what so ever that anyone but ME is climbing up a Ladder and pulling down that contract, I can guarantee it and unlike Madison Rayne last year and Angelina Love before that I'm not going to be wasting any time AT ALL. When I win the contract, you can bet I'm cashing in at Final Stand V as well... They say good things come to those who wait... Well I'm sick of waiting, now it's my time.

As Madison finishes speaking the camera fades out to a brief highlight package of Madison Eagles' time in SHIMMER

Suddenly the World Series

Normal Divas Match


Madison Eagles Vs Mschif



After that dive out of the ring MsChif pulls herself to her feet and rolls Eagles into the ring. The Ref checks on Eagles then turns his attention back to MsChif and yells at her to get back into the ring. Instead she walks over to the area by the announce table and grabs a microphone ready to deliver a haunting message just as she did against Rosa Mendes last week. MsChif’s breaths can be heard as the air hits the microphone and the people are now mostly silent as they wait for what she has to say.

MsChif
You can run Eagles but as you just found out the hard way, there will never be a safe place for you to hide.

1

MsChif
In the darkness… in the sunlight… on the street…. in your own home… you are never truly out of harm’s way when I’m on the hunt.

2

MsChif
But you can breathe easy, you can sleep with both eyes closed because you’re not a target… at least not now... at least not yet.

3

MsChif
That can change in a heartbeat, and in an instant everything about your life can be turned upside down and impossible to fix.

4

MsChif
Because when fear takes over, even something as simple as getting out of bed can be the most arduous task in the world.

5

MsChif
If you continue on the path you’re heading down, Eagles, these words will become much more than a harmless warning.

6

MsChif
You continue wishing for everything to be about you and I can guarantee that this won’t be the last time our path cross.

7

MsChif
I can see it in your eyes, you don’t want to become like Paige or Nikki or Lita or Michelle or Rosa or like dear old Sean Vincent.

8

MsChif
So tread carefully on the line Eagles, or you may end up as just another tormented soul.

MsChif drops her microphone and screams like only she can. Eagles is on her feet now, not amused, and she watches as MsChif climbs onto the apron as The Ref's count draws dangerously close to 10..

Main Event


Jeff Hardy Vs Chris Jericho





*As Jeff Hardy enters though the curtain the crowd lets out a sea of boos, still clearly upset at him for his actions earlier tonight.*

King: Here comes Jeff Hardy, he looks ready for tonight's huge champion versus champion main event!



JR: Yeah but notice who isn't with him. Last I heard Wade Barrett is still in the back recovering from his match with Jeff's opponent for Final Stand.

Cole: That's right, and even if that wasn't the case do you think that he would accompany the champ to the ring after Jeff looked on as his brother hit Wade with a Twist of Fate?



JR: Well last week the champ looked on as Wade delivered a Wasteland to his brother yet Matt didn't seem too bitter towards Jeff earlier tonight.

Cole: Yeah but Matt and Jeff are brothers, they've been through everything together. Where as Wade and Jeff's relationship is based soley on money. I'm curious to see what Wade's reaction is next week towards Jeff's actions earlier.

King: Well regardless Jeff Hardy is going to have to take on the World Champion on his own. Just like he's going to be taking on Ezekiel Jackson at Final Stand with no outside help, seeing as Wade Barrett has been banned from ringside!

*As Hardy crashes down to the canvas from the missed crossbody attempt, Jericho seizes his opportunity and in one swift motion locks on the Walls Of Jericho!*



*Hardy struggles with all his might to try and reach the ropes but to no avail. He screams out in agony as Jericho shouts "ASK HIM!" to the referee over and over again. Eventually Jeff has no other option but to succumb to the pain and admit defeat. He taps out over and over again as the ring bell sounds signalling Jericho as the victor.*



Justin Roberts: The winner of this match via submission... CHRIS JERICHOOOOOO!

*Jericho continues to apply the pressure on Hardy who is in clear agony despite several protests from the referee. Jericho finally relents and is obviously proud of his victory as he holds both arms in the air triumphantly. Jericho retrieves his World title and holds it aloft for all to see.*



*Jericho returns to the ring to showcase his title in a better position for all of the XWL Universe to see. They shower him in boos as he smirks proudly. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the arena changes. Jericho senses the change and turns around to see the boot of Joey Ryan hurtling towards his face in a superkick attempt! Jericho however, is able to duck, Ryan staggers, turns around himself, into a Codebreaker! Ryan is the one left out cold on this occasion, as he tried to mimic what happened at Uprising to no avail. Jericho grins wider than before and bends over, talking trash to his unconscious rival.*





*Suddenly some familiar music begins to play. Jericho's expression quickly turns to one of shock, confusion, then anger in the space of three seconds. He looks towards the titantron as the music of Triple H's mentor and the man he hospitalized around a month ago continues to play.*



The Nature Boy, Ric Flair walks out from the curtain to a huge ovation. Jericho is livid as Flair just looks on with a smile, before raising up a microphone and starting to speak.


[Ric Flair]
Chris Jericho, about a month ago you made the biggest mistake of your life... your mistake wasn't beating me to a bloody pulp, I have to give it to you, it was smart, I'd have done the exact same thing, to get into the head of my opponent... But your mistake, Chris.. was leaving me breathing, leaving me with some life left in me, because now the stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' n' dealin' son of a gun! Is back! Woooo!


[Ric Flair]
I came out here for a special reason, something that concerns you and that championship you're holding. Two weeks ago, you and Joey Ryan made the match, the Final Stand main event was set! But you forgot about one man... You forgot about the King of Kings, The Cerebral Assassin, The Game! My BEST friend.. Triple H. You thought you had Triple H finished, you thought he'd given up, but I have some news for you... Hunter has a rematch clause. He's coming back, and he's coming back to take back that World Championship. That's why at Final Stand you won't be defending against just Joey Ryan, No..... You will defend that championship in a triple threat match! Against Joey Ryan and Triple H!

*Jericho is enraged. He begins screaming at Flair "NOOOO! NOOO! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"


[Ric Flair]
And one more thing for you Jericho.... Turn around....

*Jericho turns around right into a big right hand from none other than Triple H! Flair makes his exit as The Game goes to town on Jericho with right hand after right hand, knocking him down to the canvas, then when Jericho regains his bearings knocking him right down again! Triple H throws him into the ropes, no doubt looking for his signature spinebuster on the rebound. As Jericho nears the middle of the ring once more, Triple H prepares to hit it, but Jericho doubles back and slides out of the ring out of harms way! Jericho makes a beeline up the ramp and to the backstage area, as The Game looks on.*





*Breakdown concludes with Triple H treating the XWL Universe to his signature water spitting pose, with many of them taking advantage of the photo op with a large flurry of camera flashes going off at once. The Game is back! The screen fades to black as the XWL logo appears signalling the end of the show.*
