XWL Breakdown Supershow: 2/24/2013 - 3/3/2013

Normal Match


Dolph Ziggler vs AJ Styles

The cameras cut to the ring, where ring announcer Justin Roberts is standing by. The XWL Universe are electric as they are unable to contain their excitement for the next piece of compelling television to unfold before their very eyes.

[Justin Roberts]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall. The only way to win is via pinfall, submission, disqualification or countout!





AJ Styles' music begins to play to the disapproval of the XWL Universe. After a few seconds elapse, "The Phenomenal One" himself appears from behind a veil of pyrotechnics, before throwing back his hood, revealing a confident yet arrogant smirk.



[Justin Roberts]
Introducing first, representing The Men Of Honor... from Gainesville, Georgia... weighing in at 215 lb... he is "The Phenomenal One"...
AAAAAJJJJJJJJJJ... STYLLLLLLEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

[Jim Ross] Well folks this is one I've been waiting all night for, two of the most athletic and talented superstars to ever step foot in XWL about to go toe to toe right here on BreakDown.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] That's for sure, whenever these two men are in the ring you can just expect fireworks. Heck, they were even in the same match at Final Stand last year in a Triple Threat with Joey Ryan and they tore the house down!

[Michael Cole] Whether you love them or hate them you've got to respect their abilities.

The Men Of Honor member begins his descent down the ramp, clearly full of self-confidence as he simply ignores the roar of the fans, who are booing the heck out of him. There's no sign of his fellow stable members, which is unusual as lately they have been almost inseparable since coming together to fight under one banner. Styles enters the ring, gazes around at the angry mob of fans, before leaning into the ring ropes to talk some smack into the camera.



He continues to do this for close to a minute, most of it is unclear, but you can make out several phrases including "I got this!" "Ziggler won't know what hit him!" "This is for you Dean!" among others. Suddenly his trash talking is interrupted by the sound of Vickie Guerrero's voice.

[Vickie Guerrero] EXCUSE ME!!!

The crowd breaks out into a huge chorus of boo's as always for Vickie Guerrero.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Ugh, great..

[Vickie Guerrero] I SAID EXCUSE ME!!!

The boo's get even louder but Vickie tries her best to ignore them, AJ looks unimpressed in the ring.

[Vickie Guerrero] Ladies and Gentlemen, please get out of your seats, stand up on your feet and give a warm welcome to XWL's one and only showoff and future Mr. Money in the Bank... Dolph Ziggler!!



Dolph emerges from the curtain looking as confident as ever, he stands beside Vickie and hypes himself up on the stage glaring at AJ Styles as Vickie stands clapping for Dolph with a grin from ear to ear.



[Jim Ross] Folks at home, we could very well be looking at the next Mr. Money in the Bank. We all saw his confrontation earlier in the night with the 4th and final participant of the match John Morrison, Dolph took a nasty spill to the outside of the ring but he seems to be ready and willing to face off against the self proclaimed Phenomenal One.

Dolph takes his T-Shirt off and throws it down before running both of his hands through his hair and flicking both arms outward with his signature taunt.



Dolph walks down the ramp with his arms outstretched as he looks towards the crowd with a confident grin. He makes his way to ringside clapping his hands together while saying "Money in the Bank!!" He slides up on the ring apron before getting in and climbing the turnbuckle, he slicks his hair back and poses on the turnbuckle yet again.



[Michael Cole] You've gotta' love The Showoff, he knows that he's good and he's not afraid to show it. And he backs it up in the ring!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] He certainly backed it up against World Champion Chris Jericho last week, he may not have pulled off the win but he definitely showed that he means business. But they don't call AJ Styles phenomenal for nothing.

The bell rings!

The crowd simmers down as the bell is finally rung, Vickie stands outside as AJ and Dolph are in their seperate corners. Dolph walks to the center of the ring and AJ confidently makes his way to the center as both men begin to talk trash which we cannot hear, the trash talk ends with Dolph shoving AJ which makes the crowd let out a big "Ohhh!" AJ smirks and then shoves Dolph back. Dolph and AJ then proceed to lunge at eachother trading fists back and forth, weeks of built up tension between the Men of Honor and Dolph Ziggler is finally being let out now. Both men trade blows nonstop for nearly 20 seconds until Dolph manages to get the upper hand, he backs AJ against the ropes and grabs him by the arm for an Irish whip. AJ manages to switch and reverse the Irish whip into one of his own, Dolph hits the ropes and as he's about to rebound AJ jumps for his signature dropkick but Dolph clings onto the ropes as AJ backflips landing on his feet.

[Jim Ross] What an intense start to the match with these two young athletes!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] What a save by AJ, he was one step ahead of Dolph who was one step ahead of him!


AJ cockily spreads his arms as Dolph runs towards him, AJ ducks down and rolls out of the ring as Dolph chases him. AJ jumps over the steel steps and back into the ring and waits for Dolph to get back into the ring for a sneak attack which was his plan all along. He stomps Dolph on the head and neck furiously trying to keep the showoff grounded, he locks in a side headlock to wear him down. Dolph manages to get to his feet and nearly elbows his way out of it before going for a back suplex but AJ simply backflips out of the move and grabs Dolph in a waistlock and runs him towards the rope and pulls back with an O'Connor roll which only gets a two count. AJ motions that he was "this close" to getting it as Dolph slaps his hand on the mat in frustration. Both men lock up but Dolph drops to a knee and gets behind AJ and takes him down showing his amateur wrestling skills, he turns AJ onto his back and jumps for an elbow drop but AJ rolls out of the way and as Dolph lands AJ runs against the ropes as quick as a lightening bolt and jumps with a swift knee drop to the forehead of Dolph.

[Michael Cole] What an opening to this matchup by these two amazing athletes!

AJ quickly pounces on his downed prey and mounts him, landing a flurry of right hands to the face and head of Ziggler. AJ rises to his feet and plays up to the camera, talking himself up, before he turns around, right into a clothesline from Ziggler. AJ hits the mat but quickly rises to his feet before he's knocked down again with another clothesline. Again he rises to his feet and Dolph whips him into the ropes, AJ rebounds and Dolph leapfrogs him, AJ rebounds again and Dolph ducks him, AJ rebounds one final time right into a picture perfect dropkick from The Show Off. His imitation of AJ's very own dropkick sequence is topped off by Ziggler taunting his opponent, but running both of his hands through his hair and flicking them towards the downed Styles.

[Jim Ross] They say imitation is a form of flattery, but I don't think that's Ziggler's intention.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] You don't have to be a genius to see that JR. He's mocking AJ right now. I don't think that's the best idea he's ever had though, I mean, we've seen how ruthless AJ can be with Men Of Honor, and you wouldn't want to make him mad.

Ziggler pulls AJ to his feet, AJ gets a second wind and breaks out of his grasp and lands a forearm shot to Ziggler's face, then another one, then another one. AJ whips Ziggler into the ropes this time, leapfrogs him on the rebound, ducks under him on another rebound, then on the final rebound, hits his version of the dropkick, again to perfection. AJ spreads both his arms out into his signature pose and can be heard shouting "That's how it's done!". As Dolph is still down AJ gets through the ropes and onto the apron, he motions for Dolph to get up as he slowly staggers to his feet. As Dolph turns around AJ jumps up and springboards off the top rope looking for a diving forearm but Dolph manages to move out of the way! AJ lands stomach first as he gets back up to his feet holding his stomach stumbling over to the corner.



[Jim Ross] This could be a gamechanger right here folks, looks like AJ Styles has had the wind knocked right out of him!

Dolph notices that AJ is winded and waits for AJ to be fully standing against the turnbuckle as he runs across looking for a splash but AJ manages to get a leg up booting Dolph away mid splash. Dolph falls back holding his jaw as AJ quickly turns around and jumps to the middle rope and backflips catching Dolph with a reverse DDT! Dolph lands hard on his neck as he's folded up and AJ covers but it's only a two count, Vickie can be heard slamming on the mat on the outside trying to give Dolph advice only for AJ to shout "Shut the hell up!" AJ hits Dolph with a right hand and then a side kick to the gut, he goes for a discuss clothesline but Dolph manages to block it and does a huge vertical leap and drops AJ with the Name Dropper! AJ hits the mat face first as both men are down now.

[Michael Cole] Looks like Dolph needs to capitalize quickly before AJ begins to recover..

Dolph covers. One.. two... AJ kicks out! Dolph slams the mat in frustration, before regaining his composure. He rises to his feet and stalks the stunned AJ with a fire of intent burning in his eyes. AJ rises to his feet with his back facing Dolph, Dolph realises the opportunity is gift-wrapped and jumps going for the Zig Zag but AJ holds onto the ropes. Ziggler lands on the canvas with a sick thud, the back of his head hitting the mat first. AJ seizes his chance and covers him, using the ropes for leverage, which isn't seen by the match official. One.. two... kickout! Ziggler manages to get his shoulder up! AJ wastes little time and picks up the dazed Ziggler, hooks his arm around his neck and lifts him upwards in a suplex motion, but holds him there for a few seconds before bringing him head first down to the mat with a brainbuster!

[Jim Ross] Bah gawd! What a brainbuster!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Ziggler's neck and head are already messed up from that missed Zig Zag... and now this! There's no way he can kick out now!

AJ goes for the cover. One.. two... somehow Ziggler kicks out! The crowd are going crazy at the exchanges between the two men. Styles appears to be shellshocked and thought he had the victory from such a devastating maneuver. He covers him again. One.. two... again Ziggler kicks out! AJ is infuriated at this point and makes his way towards the corner. He climbs the turnbuckle and looks to switch to aerial offense to put away the resilient Ziggler.

[Michael Cole]
AJ Styles has a lot of highflying moves in his repertoire. Which one will he pull out of the bag right here?

The answer to that question is none, as Ziggler has regained his bearings and as quick as a cat sprints towards the corner and pushes AJ off the top rope, sending him flying to the outside head first into the barricade! AJ crumples to the outside in clear agony as Ziggler slumps in the corner, fatigued from his sudden burst of energy.



Vickie shouts "Come on Dolph!" pointing to where AJ is outside, Dolph slowly rolls out of the ring and grabs AJ by the head. He throws him ribs first into the barrier and stomps him on the torso before choking him with his boot on the ground. He rolls in and out of the ring to break the 10 count, he picks up AJ and drops him ribs first on the top of the barrier. AJ holds his ribs in pain and lets out a yell, Dolph moves AJ back and goes to Irish whip AJ into the barrier but AJ leaps over the barrier! Dolph looks shocked as he reaches out to grab AJ but AJ punches Dolph sending him back, AJ moves a couple of fans out of the way before climbing onto the barrier and diving off with a forearm smash!! He lands hard on his knee's after bringing Dolph to the ground, he rolls into the ring as Dolph struggles to get back up.



[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Wow! What athleticism from AJ Styles, love him or hate him you've just got to appreciate that. And when he-

[Michael Cole] Wait a minute King, look out Dolph!

Suddenly as Dolph gets to his feet AJ Styles dives over the ropes with a picture perfect swan dive senton out of the ring completely wiping out Dolph!

[Jim Ross] GOOD GOD! AJ STYLES IS FEARLESS!

AJ springs to his feet and slams his hands on the apron before shouting "Who's the man?!" which garners a mixed reaction. He grabs Dolph by the hair and throws him into the ring but as he rolls in Dolph continues to roll across the ring and rolls out on the other side to catch a breather. AJ walks over to where he is and Dolph grabs his leg and trips him up. He slides in still hurt from the dive as he waits for AJ to get up and grabs him from behind with a reverse powerslam. Dolph sits on the ground for a few seconds as he slicks back his hair and takes deep breaths clearly in pain. He turns AJ onto his back and hits an elbow drop followed by a second quick one and a third one. But he doesn't stop there! He hits a fourth one, a fifth one and pauses and slicks his hair before flicking his hand towards AJ on the ground.



And Dolph jumps and hits a sixth elbow drop in a row! He covers AJ, 1.. 2.. shoulder up! Dolph looks frustrated but he doesn't let up as he locks in a headlock on AJ trying to keep him down and after a few seconds he starts to balance with a headstand as Vickie claps for him outside. Dolph lets go and waits for AJ to get up, Dolph goes for a superkick but AJ manages to sweep his leg making him fall onto his back. AJ keeps a hold of the leg that attempted the superkick, steps over it, ties the other one in between and locks in a figure four leglock! Several "Woos" can be heard rising up from the audience, to which AJ responds angrily by shouting "I'm better than Ric Flair!" before wrenching on Dolph's legs. Dolph cries out with pain etched on his face as his punishment threshold is tested by the submission hold.

[Michael Cole] AJ Styles is well rounded. He can do it all, from flying moves, grappling and even submission holds!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Dolph may have to tap out right here he's in the middle of the ring!

Dolph struggles and writhes trying to get to the ropes, but to no avail. He slowly begins to fade and pass out from the pain. He stops moving and his eyes close. The official checks on him as AJ continues to apply pressure. Dolph's arm is raised by the referee, but it limply drops to the mat. The referee signals to ringside "one!". Again he lifts Ziggler's arm, and yet again it drops to the mat. "Two!". AJ knows victory is near and applies even more torque onto the legs of Ziggler to try and seal the victory. There's no way he's letting Dolph wake up now. Dolph's arm is raised for the final time and it drops... halfway! Ziggler is suddenly revitalized to the horror of AJ Styles. In one last desperate attempt, Ziggler rolls through on his hips, onto his front and reverses the pressure! The look of shock on AJ's face as the pain suddenly switches sides is priceless. The agony on his face is clear for all to see as he screams out in agony. Dolph is also crying out, but for the reason that he is giving this submission hold his all. AJ however, shows incredible leg strength and due to Dolph's legs already being damaged, The Phenomenal one is able to pull his entire body weight along to the other side of the ring and grab the ropes. The referee begins to count for Ziggler to break the hold and he does at the count of 4, preventing a disqualification. Both men are down in a combination of pain and fatigue as the crowd go nuts.

[Jim Ross] Gents, it looks like Final Stand has come early for us. This match is an all out slobberknocker!

The camera pans out as both Dolph and AJ are pulling themselves to their feet by the ring ropes. They're both using the ropes as support when they're both standing, AJ kicks Dolph in the leg and Dolph gives him a receipt of a kick to the knee. They kick eachother in the legs back and forth until AJ pops Dolph in the head with a forearm smash, Dolph replies with a forearm smash of his own. Dolph goes for a short arm clothesline but AJ ducks it and hits a huge discuss clothesline! Dolph drops like a sack of potatoes as AJ hooks both legs. 1.. 2.. KICKOUT! Dolph gets the shoulder up again!



AJ immediately sits up with a wide eyed look and stares at the referee as he shouts "What?!" "No!!" He gets to his feet and backs the referee into a corner grabbing him by the collar, the referee points to the XWL logo on his shirt in a panic stating that he is an XWL official as AJ shouts "That was 3!!" AJ looks as if he wants to hit the referee out of frustration but restrains himself because he can't cost himself the match. He turns around and walks right into a superkick from Ziggler! A sickening cracking sound is heard as Dolph's foot connects with AJ's jaw, AJ is knocked loopy as he turns around and right as it looks as if he's about to fall flat on his face he jumps backwards on instinct and nails Dolph in the back of the head with the Pelé kick!! AJ with a last ditch effort to take Dolph down and it works, both men are yet again down and out from the hard kicks. The referee starts to count as both men are down..

1!
2!
3!
4!
5!
6!
7!
8!

Suddenly Dolph Ziggler kips up to his feet!! The fans gasp at his act of athleticism this late in the match, he's on wobbly legs.

9!

And now AJ Styles kips up to his feet! Both men stare down as they're broken down from the back and forth match.





Ambrose walks out from behind the curtain, holding a couple bags of popcorn and a drink, clearly enjoying the match thus far. But why is he out here? Dolph begins to shout at Dean but Ambrose pays him no attention as he walks down the ramp, ignoring the boos from the live audience in attendance that are directed at him.



He makes it to the ringside area and looks towards the ring, seeing Ziggler not taking his eyes off of him. Ambrose walks around the ring and takes a chair from the timekeepers area, positioning it closer to the ring.



He shouts out, “I'm just here to watch” directed at Dolph, who, judging by the expression on his face, doesn't believe Ambrose for a second. Dean motions to Ziggler, telling him to turn around but Dolph is having none of it and shouts out, “What are you doing out here?!” Ambrose mouths, “I warned you,” before taking a seat.



AJ Styles has been patiently observing Dolph's reaction to his comrades entrance up to this point. Now he finally takes advantage of the distraction by grabbing Dolph, spinning him around and nailing a kick to the gut. He lifts him up high and nails a Rack Bomb! The impact is devastating and as Dolph's body crashes to the canvas, AJ keeps him in position and hooks his legs. One.. Two... kickout! Again Ziggler kicks out to AJ's disbelief. AJ gets to his feet and turns his attention to Ambrose. He shouts to him "I got this!", despite his confident words there is a clear element of panic in his voice as he wonders what he has to do to put away the Show Off. Ambrose casually munches on some popcorn in response to AJ. In the meantime, Ziggler has risen to his feet and hops onto Styles' back and locks in the Sleeper Hold! AJ is taken by surprise and attempts in vain to shake him off. When this fails, he backs into the corner with some speed, knocking the wind out of Ziggler, but the hold remains locked in. AJ tries everything possible to try and shake him off, but slowly and surely the air is sucked out of him, and he drops to his knees.

[Jim Ross]
This one could be over right here folks. What a spectacle we have witnessed throughout this match.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
This is one of the greatest matches of the year so far!

[Michael Cole]
Say what you will about their attitudes or their methods but noone can deny that this match has been simply awesome!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Look at Ambrose! He's going crazy!

Dean Ambrose is livid at the sight of his fellow MOH member fading at the hands of his bitter rival. He's shouting and screaming at the top of his lungs, and the fans around him are clearly petrified of him. Many of them are shielding their children away or taking a few steps away from him. AJ continues to fade and slumps to the canvas, clearly out of it as Dolph continues to wrench away. Dolph is leaning forward to add more pressure, the ref looks closely at AJ as he's pretty much out but since he's so close he doesn't notice Dean Ambrose lifting AJ's leg and placing it on the bottom rope before motioning for the ref to check. Dolph looks frustrated as the referee makes him break it up, Dolph picks up the dead weight that is AJ Styles up and manages to get him onto the top rope. Dolph scales the turnbuckle and stands on the top ready to pick him up and go for a superplex but as he's up there Dean Ambrose starts throwing his popcorn at Dolph! Dolph is distracted and almost loses his balance but this is all AJ needed. AJ is sitting on the turnbuckle, Dolph is standing on the top rope. AJ hooks Dolph's legs as if he was going for a powerbomb but pushes Dolph forward and stands up straight in position for the Styles Clash!

[Michael Cole] No!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] He wouldn't dare!

STYLES CLASH FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE!!

[Jim Ross] THAT KILLED HIM! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY DOLPH ZIGGLER IS DONE!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Unbelievable!

Vickie screams at ringside at the top of her lungs as Dean Ambrose watches on with a devious smirk as AJ turns a lifeless Dolph over and covers.

1!

2!!

3!!!





AJ has done it! He has defeated Dolph Ziggler! Ambrose motions to AJ, content with what he has just witnessed. The fans give a mixed reaction, half of it being the negative reaction for AJ Styles winning but also half of it being a positive reaction in appreciation for both Dolph and AJ for their efforts. AJ is completely wrecked as Dean pulls him out of the ring by the arm and heads up the ramp with him. AJ can barely walk as he's on dream street after the PPV quality match. Vickie tends to Dolph in the ring looking furious as Dean and AJ head through the curtain.

The theme of the three renegades known as the Men Of Honor starts to play. Almost instantaneously the fans begin to aim hatred towards the top of the entrance ramp, where three figures appear. AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose and Corey Graves, each walk down the aisle simultaneously at a slow speed, almost emphasizing their entrance with their slow strides. As they near the ring, Styles and Graves each choose a side of the ring while Ambrose enters through the side of the ramp. They each pose on their respective ring apron before entering the ring, soaking up the hostile atmosphere and loving it. As the music dies down, it is AJ Styles who is the first member to break their silence.



[AJ Styles]
You know what? I don't know what to say to you people. It's obvious you already know who we are by now. It's obvious that you know what we stand for and what we're fighting against. And it's obvious that you're too brainwashed or just too damn stupid to understand that WE are the good guys here! But that's fine. We aren't here to gain your approval. We're here to be the best that we can be. We're here to fight against those who are holding us back. You want to keep us under a glass ceiling? How about we smash that into a million pieces?



{Dean Ambrose}
It's pretty clear to us that since our formation at Uprising, we have been breaking the molds this company has tried so hard to keep in place. We have been setting the trend around here, yet we're still being ignored. No matter how much we yell, no matter how much we scream, no matter how much pain we cause, no matter how much destruction we leave in our wake, this company tries to act like we don't exist and tries to push us under the rug in hopes that we will just go away.



{Dean Ambrose}
Here's the thing, though, Men of Honor, we're never going away! We're the nightmare you will never wake up from, we're the fire you'll never be able to put out, we're the pain that won't go away. Men of Honor are the trendsetters, Men of Honor are the difference makers, Men of Honor are the mold breakers, Men of Honor are not only the present, we're also the future. And trust me when I say, Honor will prevail!



[AJ Styles]
When I was trying to come back to XWL, I was told I wasn't needed. That I wasn't good enough. Well, I don't know if you saw - and how could you not have? - but earlier tonight I put on one of the matches of the year... no, of this entire DECADE when I went up against Dolph Ziggler? Not good enough? Not needed? Really? I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I am one of the best wrestlers in the world. So is Dean, and so is Corey. Dolph Ziggler is one of your so-called "big stars"? I beat him. John Cena? I beat him too. The fact is, nobody on this roster can measure up to the three of us. The list of guys to fall to us just keeps growing and growing. Nobody will be able to stop us! Nobody!



{Dean Ambrose}
Just like Dolph Ziggler was unsuccessful at defeating AJ earlier tonight, the mighty Sin Cara fell before Dean Ambrose. I told you not to come out for our match Sin Cara, but did you listen? No! Because of your foolish decision, you will now be forced to carry the battle scars I gave you for the rest of your life. Even you're still breathing, that is.



{Dean Ambrose}
It seems that people don't know the meaning of staying out of Men of Honor's way. If you see us coming, run as far away as you possibly can. If you don't run, your ignorance will not be bliss. Everybody has seen what we're capable of. Alone, we won't stop fighting until the person standing across from us is left in a bloody heap. Together, we're unbeatable! You take the skill of AJ Styles, you add the silent but deadly personality of Corey Graves, then you throw in the psychotic nature of Dean Ambrose and you have the most destructive collection of talent this company has ever seen!



[AJ Styles]
And in a few short weeks at Final Stand, we write our name in the history books. I might not be competing at the event, but trust me. A victory for Dean Ambrose in the Money In The Bank match, is a victory for the Men Of Honor. That briefcase opens up opportunities. Opportunities that guys like us don't get handed to us on a silver platter. And who knows... maybe Dean will cash in at Final Stand and we, the Men Of Honor, will be in possession of the World Heavyweight title!



[AJ Styles]
And then, all of you people, and all of you guys in the back, will be forced to admit just how great we are and how wrong you were about us. Not good enough? Rejects? Enhancement talents? You're wrong. You're all wrong. Our talent will shine through because you can't keep true talent down. Once we get the World title, that will be the thing to set in motion the rest of our careers. You can count on it.



{Dean Ambrose}
What would it mean for this company if that World Heavyweight Championship falls into the hands of Men of Honor? How will this company react to such an “unfortunate” turn of events? The answer is that they won't! This company is not ready for Dean Ambrose having their most precious championship in his possession. Mark my words, Dean Ambrose is the next World Heavyweight Champion. Believe that!

With that said, Ambrose takes a step back and Graves walks towards the center of the ring. He raises his mic to speak but the deafening boos prevent him from doing so. He lowers his mic back down and stares towards the live audience in attendance, possibly waiting for them to stop their boos. Graves continues staring at the crowd, not uttering a single word as Ambrose is shown nodding his head in the background so some unknown reason. AJ notices this and turns his attention towards Dean and gives him a “what are you doing?” expression. Graves takes a step back, not breaking his silence, as Ambrose returns to the center of the ring and shouts out, “BELIEVE THAT!” AJ looks at Ambrose with a confused look and Dean begins to speak again.



{Dean Ambrose}
I couldn't have said it better myself, Graves. You people will show us the respect we not only deserve, but the respect that we demand. The three men in this ring are the future of this sport full of corruption and favoritism. We're done playing nice, if we want something, we're going to take it whether you like it or not. Anybody who gets in our way will suffer the same fate that Dolph Ziggler and Sin Cara suffered tonight.



{Dean Ambrose}
And at Final Stand, I will personally add two more names to the list of people we have taken down, John Morrison and Christian. Both of you might as well not even show up if you know what's good for you. You saw what I did to Sin Cara earlier tonight after he didn't heed my warning, just imagine what I have in store for you.



[AJ Styles]
Oh and don't worry, you won't be forgotten Dolph. You think you've taken all what Dean can dish out? You think you've seen all of the tricks of AJ Styles in our match earlier tonight? Think again. You haven't seen anything yet. Everything that Dean has done to you... everything that WE have done to you... will pale in comparison to what is coming your way at Final Stand. It truly will be, your final stand, both as a professional wrestler and a healthy human being. I just hope you have medical insurance because I would HATE to be paying that kind of bill...



{Dean Ambrose}
Especially your bill, Ziggler, you're out a quarter of a million dollars that I took from you with ease, how will you be able to afford paying that without it breaking your bankroll? Enjoy your health while you still have it, enjoy being able to walk while you still can, enjoy being able to flick your hair at people because after Final Stand, I'm going to break every bone in your body!



{Dean Ambrose}
Do you know what happens to people who mess with Dean Ambrose, Ziggler? Everything up until this point has been me toying with you, it has been me taking it easy on you. People who mess with Dean Ambrose, people who mess with Men of Honor, they get their arms broken, they get their fingers broken, they get their heads broken, and they get their legs broken!



[AJ Styles]
And speaking of hurting people, I'm about to bring out someone who knows a thing or two about that. Someone who I have a long history with, and someone who will help us in our cause and make our task that much easier. This is a man who has been world champion wherever he has been and someone who knows the struggles guys like us have to go through to make it in this business. He'll fit into the mold of Men Of Honor with ease. I give to you the fourth member of Men Of Honor... SAMOA JOE!



There is a collective gasp as the theme song of The Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe hits! The indy icon who has never set foot in XWL before finally reaches the big leagues as he walks onto the stage.



You can tell Joe means business as he walks down the ramp with a stone cold look on his face.



He reaches the end of the ramp and paused, he pulls down his shades and folds his arms as he looks to the left and right glaring into the crowd taking in the mixed reaction from the capacity crowd. He pushes his shades back onto his face properly and cracks his neck before walking up the steps.



He climbs into the ring and grabs a microphone before doing his signature cut throat taunt and pose in the center of the ring as he takes a deep breath after a long journey to finally reach XWL. His music stops as the crowd goes silent waiting to see what he says, he brings the microphone to his mouth as Dean and AJ clap and look on with approval.



{Samoa Joe}
Home sweet home.. For too long I've been busting my ass trying to make a name for myself. Trying to show the whole world what Samoa Joe is all about, I've wrestled all over the world. England, Japan, you name it. But where I wanted to be, no, where I needed to be is XWL and I think this is long overdue. I've been shafted, just like these fine gentlemen in the ring with me but luckily we're taking a stand. Taking a stand for the true hard workers this company needs.

Short and sweet, Joe says his opening words in his XWL debut. He folds his arms again and waits to see what Dean or AJ have to say.



[AJ Styles]
That's right! And it's an honor to have you standing by our side Joe. You and I tore the house down night after night in TNA. Hell, we even did the same in ROH. Now we'll do it here in XWL, alongside two other guys who think exactly like we do. No longer will we settle for second best. Three just became four. You think Men Of Honor were ruthless or destructive before? Look at us now. Now we have one of the most violent badasses walking the planet on our side! We're even more unstoppable than before!



{Dean Ambrose}
If you thought you had it bad before, you haven't seen anything yet. Samoa Joe, the Samoan Submission Machine, if you don't know who this guy is, then everybody in this company is in for a rude awakening. Our paths haven't crossed one another to my knowledge, but from what I've heard, you're one tough son of a bitch. Just by looking at you, I can tell you're ready to release all that fury you have bottled up in your body on some poor unsuspecting soul.



{Dean Ambrose}
You people don't know fear until you stand face to face with this man, but if you're Men of Honor, you don't experience fear, fear experiences you. Samoa Joe, you look like a guy who invents submission holds in your sleep, you look like a guy who doesn't care what he has to do to get what he wants. Good, you'll fit right in with Men of Honor.



{Samoa Joe}
Dean Ambrose, you're 100% right. I do have a lot of fury bottled up in me. The years of frustration, anger and doubt about my career. All of the people who told me I wasn't good enough, or I wasn't charismatic enough to make it to where I am today. I have a LOT of anger built up inside of me and I need to get that out soon. I need to see broken bones, I need to see blood, I need to see concussions. I need to turn XWL upside down and that's exactly what I plan to do. XWL doesn't know fear, not yet, but soon enough XWL is going to be shaken to it's very core, the war is just beginning...

Joe lowers the mic still with an emotionless look on his face.



[AJ Styles]
And when the war is over... when all is said and done... it will be the Men Of Honor standing over a mass of broken bones and bodies belonging to those who stood in our way at claiming the spots we deserve in this business. Noone will be spared. There's no exceptions. If you get in the way, expect to be hurt. It's that simple.



AJ stares intently into the camera and drops his mic as the Men Of Honor's music begins to play once again.



Suddenly the sound of bodies can be heard dropping behind AJ and he turns around to see both Ambrose and Graves knocked down on the canvas! Ambrose and Graves lay motionless on the mat as Samoa Joe stands above them, AJ's jaw drops as he looks confused. Joe just motions for AJ to "Bring it" AJ almost seems too shocked to reaction as Joe lunges for AJ grabbing him by the head and slinging him into the corner, he lets out a primal yell as the crowd burst into cheers! Joe starts to jab AJ in the jaw multiple times as the excited crowd chant "Joe!" at each hit to AJ. After nearly 15 punches Corey Graves grabs Joe by the back of the head but as Joe still has his back turned he jumps and hits an enziguri to the temple of Graves making him drop to the mat again. AJ falls to the ground at the corner holding his jaw, Dean gets up to his feet and squares off against Joe showing no fear as he shoves Joe's face and shouts "What the hell are you doing?!" Joe just smirks and chops Dean as hard as possible in the chest. He Irish whips Dean off the ropes but Dean holds onto the ropes, at this time Corey runs at Joe but Joe swiftly catches him and plants him right on the neck with an ST-Joe!! Joe notices Dean running at him now and then plants him with a second ST-Joe! He then notices AJ still down in the corner and runs against the ropes and darts right toward AJ with a sickening face wash!

Joe leans down and grabs AJ by the face, a red mark is already spread across AJ's face from the force of the face wash already. Joe shouts at the top of his lungs "YOU WANNA SEE ANGER?!" Joe gets up and turns around only to be drilled in the head by Dean Ambrose with a knee trembler!! Joe drops to the mat as Dean throws his fist in the air but little does he know is Joe got right back up! The fans cheer hugely again as Joe slowly walks up behind Ambrose with a look that would kill, he grabs him by the hair and throws him right out of the ring. He walks back over to AJ with a purpose and grabs him and sits him up on the top turnbuckle, he then gets him set up for the Muscle Buster! He holds him up for it and as he's about drop Corey Graves chop blocks Joe! Joe drops to a knee as AJ rolls out of it, Dean grabs AJ's leg and pulls him out of the ring saying "It's not worth it!" An enraged Corey Graves starts to pound on Joe but Joe quickly gets back up and headbutts him right in the head! Blood immediately starts to pour from Corey's head as Joe jabs Corey in the head and sets him up on the top rope, he looks down at AJ and Dean who are in shock outside before slapping Corey in the face causing blood to fly towards AJ and Dean.

He buckles Corey up on his shoulders and holds him up, he faces towards AJ and Dean who look as if they want to run in to help Corey but know it would be to no avail. Joe runs and drops Corey with a sickening muscle buster that receives a huge "Ohhhh!" from the crowd. Joe isn't done as he sits Corey up and locks in the Coquina Clutch! He faces AJ and Dean again who are slowly backing up the ramp as Joe squeezes the life out of Corey Graves before throwing his motionless body to the mat. Joe has a wide eyed look now as he steps out of the ring and onto the apron and shouts "YOU'RE NOT GONNA PLAY ME LIKE A FOOL AJ, JOE IS GONNA KILL YOU!"



Joe's theme hits again as the fans are still in shock at Samoa Joe's swerve on the Men of Honor, an injured AJ and Dean stumble up the ramp looking at Joe with disbelief as the fans start to chant "Joe's gonna kill you!" over and over as the eerie chant echo's throughout the arena.

Winner Via Pinfall:

Normal Match


Cactus Jack vs Alberto Del Rio

*We head backstage following the commercial break.*



[Jeremy Borash]
Ladies and Gentlemen, standing with me at this time is one of the four men who will step into the ring at Final Stand with the chance to become Mister Money In The Bank. This is Captain Charisma, The Instant Classic, The Livewire, Christian!

[Christian]
You kinda forgot to mention how I'll win Money In The Bank. I won't just take part in it, I'm gonna win the whole thing. Next time when I give you a piece of paper that says how to introduce me, read it, it's not that hard. Do it again, we need to get this perfect for future interviews.

[Jeremy Borash]
Really? You've got to be kidding me.

[Christian]
Does it look like I'm kidding you? No, I'm not. Again, now.

[Jeremy Borash]
Okay... Ladies and gentle...

*Christian pulls the microphone away from Borash's mouth, cutting him off as Christian now speaks.*

[Christian]
You suck at this, no wonder it's always people like Matt Striker giving interviews. It should go a little something like this.



[Christian]
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages. Standing before you is the pinnacle of success, the definition of perfection, the embodiment of excellence. This man is not only going to be competing in the Money In The Bank Ladder match but he is going to win it despite all the hardships and obstacles that have stepped before him in his long and drawn out XWL Career. He will defeat Dolph Ziggler. He will defeat Dean Ambrose. He will defeat John Morrison. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not only the next Mr. Money In The Bank but the next World Heavyweight Champion. I give you... Christian... And all the things that I had just said aren't my hopes and dreams, they are my reality. I have gone through the curtains of this company since the very start and for most of that time, three words described me. Hopeless, under-appreciated and forgotten. Do you know what it is like to be forgotten, Jeremy? Do you know what it is to be under-appreciated, Jeremy? Do you know what it is like to be hopeless, Jeremy?

[Jeremy Borash]
I do wish I was on TV a little bit more to interview some more people.

[Christian]
Yeah and you're the only one who wants that so get use to it.



[Christian]
I've thought about jumping ship, I've thought about forming some rebellious group like the men of honor, I thought of damn near everything I could to get on the XWL Map but back then, doing any of that just wasn't me. I didn't want to do that and I didn't and I payed for it by sitting there in the shadows, hanging out with the "jobbers" of this company who no one truly cares about in the long run. I was one of them and it made me sick to the point where I had the choice to either do one of two things. I could have either jumped ship and gone some place where I was appreciated or I could stay and turn my back on the fans and do things that I didn't want to do if that is what it mean to become the top star but these things grew on me and now I like this Christian. I like not caring about what people like Eve and Vickie say to be and it makes me happy to know that all it takes was a simple little change of heart to get noticed because it was so easy. The second I go against any of the fans I got noticed and I loved the feeling of me hating each and every one of you. And it wasn't just a one time thing my little run of success, it got me to the top and I'm still at the top and I'm staying there till I either get fired again or get injured by some uncaring worker.



[Christian]
The top is where I belong. The top is where I thrive. And as I climb to another top, that being the top of a ladder and as I reach the top, I raise my arms up to unhook the briefcase that holds the final push that I need to get that World Heavyweight Championship I've wanted for oh so long. This is my time, this is my chance and only three men stand in front of me to get this shot after I won the World Series. The same World Series where I went undefeated. The same World Series where I defeated Carlito. The same World Series where I defeated Sheamus. The same World Series where I defeated William Regal. The same World Series that was ended because damn good I am in that ring. Antonio Cesaro and MVP are lucky that they didn't have to go against me because their fate would've been the same as the three before me. Except maybe I'd go a little bit easier on them because I was in a better mood after going three and zero or even four and zero, ending it off with a nice five and zero record because that is how I roll in case you didn't know that by now, Borash. But off course you wouldn't.



[Christian]
One man to be exact even accused me of cheating and "spiking" his Red Bull before the match. Let me tell you something, I may be a bit desperate at times to get what I want but Christian is no cheater. I don't need to cheat to win like some people because I'm too damn good to cheat to win. Carlito, I'm talking about you, your bitch and that chia pet you've got growing on your head. You lost, buddy, accept it. You lost and you can't handle losing. I thought I was bad with handling losses but man you just suck at coming up with excuses for why you lost this match and why you lost that match. You've got to come up with better insults if you want people to believe you. First of all, Red Bull? Who drinks that anymore? Secondly, spiking a drink with drugs on a TV show that kids watch. Yes, that makes so much sense and I wish I could think like you because if I was to have done that, I could go to jail, maybe be fined and even fired. I really wish I could think like you because the way I think is just so weak, your ways of thinking are like Albert Einstein. Are you hiding him in that Afro of yours or what?



[Christian]
So here is a deal, Carlito. You feel that you were cheated out of your win against the Charismatic One. You feel that your lost was wrong and unjust. I'll give you the chance to redeem yourself in one last match. You want one more match, you can have one more match if you want and it will be next week if you accept it. It won't be in two weeks, it won't be the week after Final Stand. I've got a pretty busy schedule in case you didn't know and the only time that I'm free is next week at Redemption. The offer is on the table and the choice is in your hands now. Take it or leave it and if you choose to leave it, Carlito, leave Torrie as well. As we saw against Mr. John Morrison, I have my own ways with the ladies. Just ask Melina. But Torrie, I wouldn't mind having her around, what about you, Jeremy?

[Jeremy Borash]
I wouldn't mind having her arou...

[Christian]
Too bad, she wouldn't want to be around you anyway. And it's not because of the way you look, it's just... Yeah, it's cause of how you look, don't feel bad. Not everyone can look good. But you get what I'm saying, all jokes aside, Carlito versus Christian II next week if you choose to accept and if your too much of a little bitch to accept it, well then nobody loses but maybe me because I lose the chance to embarrass you once again. I don't need to fight you, I don't care for fighting you. The only thing I care fighting for right now is that Money In The Bank Briefcase against two men who I don't have much XWL History with and one man who I have so much history with we could write a couple of novels based off of it. Let's run down the list, why don't we. Starting with the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison. Things started between us as I set my sights once again on the Intercontinental Championship after John Morrison had won it and broke away from the Saviors of Society or whatever they were called.



[Christian]
First time around, he got lucky. Second time around, I let him win because I had Money In The Bank on my mind and I couldn't care any less about the Intercontinental Championship anymore. Money In The Bank, the third time, the third time will be the charm as I shut the flying botch monkey himself down and ruin his chances of ever becoming World Heavyweight Champion. John Morrison was never meant to become champion, he had just gotten lucky throughout his career when it came to winning the United States Championship, X-Treme Championship, and even the Intercontinental Champion. John Morrison is luck, that is all there is too it. John Morrison hopped on the coat tails of Damien Sandow, who I admit is a pretty big douchebag like Morrison himself, and rode them till he was at the point where he didn't need him anymore and he turned on him. What a disgraceful move, the man helped John get back into the spotlight and he went and turned on him like a ungrateful little child. And not only that but...

[Jeremy Borash]
Excuse me, Christian? I don't mean to interrupt you but this is an interview and normally I'm suppose to ask you questions. Would you mind if I asked some?

[Christian]
Fine, go ahead.

[Jeremy Borash]
Well, about Money In The Bank. I...

[Christian]
Okay, that's enough. Your questions suck.

[Jeremy Borash]
But I didn't even get the chance to a...

[Christian]
Nope, this isn't the time to apologize. Now back to what I was saying.



[Christian]
Morrison is ungrateful. He isn't thankful for anything this company has got him. He is self centered. He is ignorant. He is great at hiding how much of a jerk he really is though, deep down inside. Those qualities that I said are no qualities of a champion. A champion shouldn't be any of those and John Morrison needs to learn what it is like to be a good champion, like I was. Remember John who's belt you are holding, mine. I made that belt, that belt would be nothing without me and you would be nothing without it which means without me you are nothing so I request a meaningful "Thank You" next time we pass backstage or see each other in the ring. You'd still be sitting at home, watching your cheap hooker which you'd like to call a "girlfriend" walk around and play around with other guys at you sat there wishing you were in XWL if it wasn't for me. So I suggest, and to quote another participant in Money In The Bank, I'm taking over the World and if you're smart, John. Stay out of my way. And now that leads me to Dean...

*Christian stops as he was talking and looks to the other side of Jeremy where he see’s Torrie Wilson looking far from impressed from what one can only assume was due to the comments made about Carlito.*



Torrie Wilson
You do know that we have TV sets in our dressing rooms right Christian? So that means every single person your bitching about here to your little friend can hear you and see you. And I’m sure that Carlito won’t appreciate you saying this about him. You know that your win was a fluke, Carlito may say you spiked his drink but I think we all know that it was due to my absence at ringside. You saw just how influential I can be when Carlito beat MVP at Uprising. So I think your quite brave to ask Carlito for a rematch because I watched that match back the next day and by no means were you much better. Carlito matched you for everything you had you just got lucky, now I don’t know if you did spike him but I believe Carlito and I believe that you are that desperate and devious to do something like that.

Jeremy Borashp
So Torrie, what does this mean for car...

Torrie Wilson
I don’t like Christian as much as the next guy but he’s right when he asks you to be quiet so just shut your mouth and let me finish what I have to say.
Thankyou.



Torrie Wilson
Also, don’t think I missed what you both said about liking to have me around. I wouldn’t be caught dead with either of you two. Just ew.
But back to the more important stuff, if what you meant before referencing to Melina as a threat? I would dare you to even lay a finger on me, what most the people who tune in to this show or even work backstage and even the superstars and diva’s don’t know is how dangerous I can be. Carlito has had me under his wing for over a month now and before that I’d been wrestling all over America for the past 7 years with some of the best talent this world has ever seen. So not only if you dare touch me, I won’t just beat your ass, I will embarrass you in front of the whole world. So go ahead and try your little trick that worked so well for you with Melina, the outcome will be quite different this time.

Torrie Wilson
But yeah thats right isn’t it, you got your match but couldn’t get the job done. Just like you won’t get the job done when you compete for the Money In The Bank at Final Stand. You talked about your busy schedule. Maybe so, but after Final Stand what plans do you have then? Because back to the bottom of the pile you’l go.
You’ll lose your little opportunity at stardom in this company and if you honestly believe you have what it takes to not only win the Money In The Bank event but successfully cash it in and become World Champion then you really need to get you head checked out. Because not only do you not stand a chance in the actual event but when it comes down to getting the job done, you failed on 2 separate occasions against the Intercontinental Champion so how do you plan on stepping your game up when you’ve already given everything you’ve got and come up short before.

Jeremy Borash
Can I just quickly get a word in and ask to hear more about your plans as a singles diva Torrie?



Torrie Wilson
Did I ask you to talk?

Jeremy Borash
Well I was just....

Torrie Wilson
No I asked you a question, stop blabbering.

Jeremy Borash
Well no you didn’t say I could speak but I’m the interviewer here...

Torrie Wilson
Exactly, I didn’t say to speak and with that attitude you won’t be an interviewer much longer, the people want to hear and see Torrie Wilson. Not, whatever your name is. But if you must persist that question then I’ll give you an insight. The original plan has gone to scrap because I was meant to guide Carlito to victory in the World Series but this jerk right here somehow kissed the companys ass and got his way and the competition to end early. So instead of saving myself until after Final Stand because all my time would of been going on Carlito and helping him win, I wouldn’t of had time to train with him and get as much done as I’d like in order to prepare myself. But, now that the series has ended, I’ve had the chance to train as much as I feel I needed to in order to become ready for my debut and that time is next week. So not only I’am debuting a month early, I’m going to win my debut and make a statement on the Diva’s division.

Jeremy Borash
Thats great news Tor....

Torrie Wilson
It would be better if you let me finish.
I’m a very busy woman tonight so I’ll make this quick, Christian, your nothing but a joke and it’s only a matter of time before the whole world see’s it. And that time is not only going to be at Final Stand but next week when you go one on one with Carlito! That’s right, i’m accepting your proposal on behalf of Carlito because I know that he will embarrass you and your momentum going into Final Stand will be but to an abrupt end when he beats you and thats a promise. And the impossible does happen and you manage to beat Carlito. Well, well as a matter of fact you Jeremy. Is that your name?

Jeremy Borash
Yes. Jeremy Bor...

Torrie Wilson
Ok Jeremy is enough. If you win Christian then I will dedicate a whole day with Jeremy and do whatever he wants. But thats not going to happen so don’t get to excited there Jeremy.

*Torrie winks at Jeremy and licks her lips then begins to laugh as she walks past Christian who stands not knowing what to make of the situation, looks at Jeremy Borash then takes off himself.*

[Christian]
Well, look's like karma isn't the only bitch around. But I've got a Money In The Bank to prepare for. So for now, I'd say thank you if I were you because I'm going to get you a whole day with Torrie. Oh and next time, try to have better questions in mind so we can have an actual interview because this seemed pretty one sided. Okay? Good.

*Christian leaves the view of the camera and we head to commercial break.*

When Breakdown returns from it's commercial break the cameras are backstage with Ted DiBiase, who's still feeling the effects from his HUGE victory over The Rock. As he's walking backstage, Josh Matthews approaches him with a microphone in his hands as DiBiase is still trying to catch his breath

Josh Matthews: Excuse Ted, if we can get a few words on your memorable victory over The Rock, are you surprised you were able to pull this one out of the bag?

Suddenly midsentece DiBiase is jumped from behind as Matthews flees the scene, and the cameras quickly pull out revealing that Shawn Michaels is the one attacking, as he grabs him by the head and throws him into the closest wall and Ted slumps down to the floor whilst Michaels continues with his assault kicking DiBiase in the gut, who rolls over onto his back grabbing his stomach in pain as HBK gets on the floor and starts punching away at DiBiase's head, screaming at him

Jim Ross: Where the hell did he come from!

Michael Cole: Like it matters, Michaels is teaching that ungrateful punk a lesson! How great is this?

Jim Ross: This isn't great at all, Michaels is just assaulting DiBiase for no one dammit!

Shawn Michaels: You messed with the wrong guy Teddy! This is what you get!

Michaels keeps punching DiBiase as he lays on the ground stirring, until DiBiase starts to fight back, kicking Shawn off from him then quickly getting back to his feet then fake football tackling Michaels through the close by catering table, with the items on the table falling over them and around them as the two men trade blows on the floor with each other

Jerry "The King" Lawler: But DiBiase's is fighting back, he might of just been through a war with The Rock but he's still got a little something left in the tank.

Michael Cole: What! This isn't right! Somebody get that thug off of Michaels, he shouldn't be putting his hands on an XWL superstar.

Almost taking turns in short bursts of offence both men continue to punch and kick each other fighting their way along the corridor clubbing away at each other out into the merchandising area, as they're surrounded by fans watching on in shock as DiBiase and Michaels tear each other a part.

Jim Ross: They're making their away around this arena, and they're just trying to rip into each other, it's clear there's no love lost between these two, they just want to hurt each other.

Michaels rakes the eyes of DiBiase and grabs a steel chair from behind a booth hitting Ted in the gut with it, then with a big swing hitting him a second time with the chair this time onto his back as the thud echoes in the hall way and DiBiase screams in agony

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Did you hear that? Michaels is trying to bend that chair around DiBiase's back!

Shawn walks over to an on looking fan and grabs his drink out of his hands then proceeds to take a drink of it, but not liking what he's tasting he spits it out of his mouth on to the floor, then he pours the contents of the cup on to DiBiase who's still on the floor

Michael Cole: Ha! You've just got to love Shawn Michaels.

Jim Ross: How can you say that? That's a classless move if I've ever seen one right there.

Ted shakes the what can only be presumed to be soda off of him, as Michaels grabs him by the head and pulls him to his feet and he drags Ted over to a t-shirt stand throwing him against the display knocking it over, then falling on top of DiBiase as Michaels wonders out of camera shot.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I hate to say it JR, but Michaels has just ripped DiBiase a part here, whether we like it or not, Michaels has sent a message, and it doesn't look like he's done just yet.

Michaels picking the chair back up holding it tight waiting for Ted to get back to his feet, then as he slowly does Michaels cracks him between the eyes with the chair and DiBiase crashes back down to the concrete floor!

Jim Ross: What a chair shot by Michaels! That just bounced of DiBiase's skull, somebody better stop this, it's gone on for long enough.

Michaels throws the steel chair to the ground next to DiBiase's body who has blood tickling down from the cut on his head, barely moving, just laying on the floor as Michaels slowly walks away with the damage being done and the cameras stay focused on DiBiase as they slowly fade out to black ending the segment

*The theme song of the Bella Twins play and Brie Bella picks up the victory over the self-proclaimed "Best In The World" Madison Eagles. Nikki runs into the ring and the twins celebrate as Madison Eagles lays on the ground. Just when you think Brie and Nikki would be finished, both divas grab microphones from the outside and enter the ring and start to speak*



[Brie Bella]: Nikki, this is so funny. Ever since Madison Eagles came into this company, all she's talked about is being the best, blah blah, ME, Madison Eagles, best in the world, she's talked a whole lot of game, I'm sure she's even talked trash about us, I'm sure. And look where she is now, right there, down on the mat, I pinned her for the 3-count, she sure showed me.

[Nikki Bella]: She sure did. She certainly proved she has what it takes to be included in Miss Money In The Bank at Final Stand. How about we reward her?

[Brie Bella]: You know, I was thinking the same thing. . .

*Brie and Nikki drop their microphones and head out to Madison Eagles. They start to attack her like how they attacked AJ. Brie and Nikki are on Madison like a pack of dogs, while Brie is stomping on her, Nikki is punching away. Nikki picks Eagles up and locks her up from behind. Brie walks up to her and grabs her cheek and says "I'm the Best In the World" and slaps Madison. Brie tosses Madison out the ring and both girls follow after her. The Bella Twins pick up Eagles and place one hand over each shoulder and they ram Eagles into the barricade. Eagles is in pain from the expression on her face. Brie and Nikki lift Eagles up yet again, they're not finished just yet, they place to lay down on the barricade, hovering over the floor. Nikki signals Brie and Brie hits a Bella Buster from the barricade and by this time, the referee breaks it up. The theme music of the Bella Twins begin to play as we go to break.*

The referee magically pops up as if nothing happened, Layla and AJ resume the match as they had been, AJ kicks out of a layout 10 minutes later, AJ runs for a corner clothesline on Layla but Layla kicks her away, pulls her head in then nails the facelift covering her and getting the three count.

Jericho calls for the bell and Joey Ryan is declared the winner. Ryan is on his knees and looks to the skies in pure jubilation after his huge victory. He has eliminated The Game from the main event at Final Stand and will now face Chris Jericho in a one-on-one contest for the World title in a few short weeks in Atlanta. The emotion on his face is clear for all to see. Triple H has not moved but there is no doubt in anyone's mind he will be angry and upset with this loss when he regains consciousness, as he will now miss out on what would have been one of the biggest opportunities of his life. Jericho exits without raising the arm of Joey Ryan, and appears emotionless as he heads up the ramp. As he finally reaches the top of the ramp, he smirks confidently before heading behind the curtain. Jericho knows there is a time and a place for he and Ryan to settle this, and that is March 17th at Final Stand. He can wait until then... Meanwhile Joey Ryan continues to celebrate as though he has won the World title already as the screen fades to black to end the show.
