Breakdown opens with it's theme song and stage pyro, drawing the thousands in attendance out of their seats!
{King} Welcome to Breakdown ladies and Gentleman!
{JR} We are live from the TD Garden here in Boston, Massachusetts!!
{King} But before we get into tonight's show the XWL would like to give our support and prayers to the people involved in the Boston Marathon Explosions earlier today right here in Boston.
{JR} XWL superstars and divas have been tweeting all day, #PrayForBoston.
{JR} What a tragic event, but what better way then to support the people here in Boston than putting on a great Breakdown for them!!
{King} And what a night do we have planned!! Dean Ambrose and Samoa Joe will be squaring off in tonight's main event! Two men who know not only know how to, but love to cause pain to their opponents, but will Samao Joe be tough enough to outlast the clever Ambrose?
{JR} We will also be having the high flying Kof-
We then mysteriously cut to the backstage area where we see once again, Bray Wyatt.
{{Bray Wyatt}} I know about loss, I know about losing time, about losing years… I've committed crimes in my past that no human should be capable of doing.. Burning down my fathers house, burning down that hospital and saving all those broken people… Well I've been punished for those crimes, my conscience has been cleaned, my debt has been paid… Lets get one thing clear. I spent a long time in a eight by nine cell surrounded by people who were less than human to settle my debt. I spent that time trying to become more than human. I was born again, greater than, better than. And I owe it all to the good book. The Indestructible book.
*Bray holds up The Bible*
{{Bray Wyatt}} You see I learned through reading the New Testament that although my God is a powerful God, he is not a God of revenge, but a God of mercy, a God of forgiveness. I realized that my actions, the sins that I committed with my little ole' zippo lighter..
*Bray holds up his zippo lighter*
{{Bray Wyatt}} Did not do God justice, although I did it in his name, I realized that it was not in his will. I prayed for forgiveness, and through prayer, realized that the only way to be truly forgiven was to serve. So I preached the way of the Lord in that prison, and I was rewarded greatly for it. Most men gain a pound a year till they're sixty, in prison most lost a pound a year, but not me. Others went malnourished, unfed, after all it's a struggle to stay healthy in the jungle. But I feasted on the good book. God showed me the path, and I followed. And through him I became the king of that jungle, the head honcho of that prison. I parted the seas when I walked. I was the judge, I was the jury, but I refused to be the executioner. I fought fire with love, and my hands, they 'aint got burnt none from it. I let go of my ways of the past, and led a new life… I'm here to tell you, each and every one of you, no matter your flaws, no matter your sins, you can be born again as well. All you have to do is hear my words and follow my ways. Let me take you all to the promise land!!
Bray has his arms open and his eyes closed as he says these last couple words. He then chuckles to himself, opens his eyes, and lights a cigar
{{Bray Wyatt}} Now you might be wondering to yourself, after all those crimes I've committed why am I still smoking them cigars? Why do I still have my little ole' zippo lighter? Well I tell you, let it be known that Matthew wrote; "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Well friends, my flesh 'aint weak. I hold on to my temptations, I hold on to my justice…
Bray rolls up a sleeve on his arm and shows us a tattoo that has a zippo lighter with the words "Justice" written underneath it.
{{Bray Wyatt}} But I allow it not to tempt me, and I am not afraid of it, because; "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" Corinthians 7:2… This is my escape.
Bray holds up the bible once more.
{{Bray Wyatt}} This is my truth..
Bray rolls up his other sleeve, showing another tattoo, this one a bible with the words "Truth" written underneath.
{{Bray Wyatt}} You can't escape your demons just by leaving home. I hold on to my demons, but they know that I am above them, they know that they can't tempt me anymore. You see, this little cigar here is my vice, cause I needed a vice in the jungle, to remind me that I was human. But as I smoked this cigar I realized something, I'm not human, my humanity is only skin deep. Someday you will read that Bray Wyatt is dead... but don't you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now...I shall have gone up higher, that is all, out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal- a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint....a body fashioned like unto His glorious body.. When I got out of the jungle, no one came for me, I had no belongings to claim other than the good book and my little ole' zippo lighter. It was just myself, truth, and justice against the world. I didn't know how to drive, I never held a set of keys in my hand, but what I did have, was the key to eternity.
{{Bray Wyatt}} I wasn't bitter, I didn't feel anger or hate. Has fate ever treated you unjustly? Punished you for someone else's sins? You most likely resent them, and you should resent them. But I got a little advice for you. Don't judge them, just forgive them, for they know not what they do. I don't resent those who have wronged me, I don't hate them, I pray for them. We all make mistakes, I have, and I try to admit it. But some men don't. You see every man carries a circle of hell around their head like a halo. Every man, every man, has to go through some type of hell to reach his paradise. You know what paradise is? Salvation. You see all these people here tonight, they don't look very happy. They're committed to their professions and to their ambitions, but they're not committed to each other. They're not committed to what's important. I'm going to show you, and all of them the meaning of a commitment, THE commitment. I was forced to make a commitment to an eight by nine cell… you could say that I'm here to save you…..
Just as he says these words something catches Bray's attention off camera. The camera angle shifts so that we can see none other than Adam Cole walking by.
{{Adam Cole}} What do you want?
{{Bray Wyatt}} Do you wish to be saved?
{{Adam Cole}} What?
{{Bray Wyatt}} Do you wish to be guaranteed a spot in the kingdom the likes of which have never been seen?
{{Adam Cole}} What are you on about?
{{Bray Wyatt}} Take my hand friend. Let me save you.
Bray extends his hand to Adam who just looks at it with an expression of disgust, confusion, and annoyance all mixed together. He then shakes his head and walks away.
{{Adam Cole}} Freak.
Bray chuckles to himself as he watches Cole go.
{{Bray Wyatt}} TIMEEEEE… IS ONN MYYYY… SSIDDEEEE…
{JR} i Kingston taking on the United States Champion, Wade Barrett!!
{King} Will Kofi be able to defeat the champ? And lower his morale going into the PPV? Or will the Bare Knuckled Brawler be able to get the momentum he needs to defeat Alex Shelley!!
{JR} And those are just two of the many matches we will be having tonight!! I can't wait!!
A video package of Wade Barrett is shown.

As this week's Breakdown Supershow kicks-off, we're taken backstage, to a face we're not all that familiar with.
[Hector Guerrero] Ladies and Gentleman, allow me to introduce to you the newest addition to your Divas roster, Miss Taryn Terrell.
The camera zooms in on Taryn briefly, before heading back to Hector. A mild response is heard from the crowd in the arena, mostly positive it seems.
[Hector Guerrero] Taryn, thank you for joining us.
{Taryn Terrell} Thanks for having me, it feels so good to be back here on the XWL Diva roster.
[Hector Guerrero] So Taryn, I have to ask, where have you been for the past 2 years? You showed up, seeming to be ready for action, but then vanished before you even had a chance to showcase your talents to the fans?
{Taryn Terrell} Well, that's a long story, I was actually released from XWL management on the account of attacking my supervisor at the time, Vickie Guerrero.
[Hector Guerrero] You attacked Vickie? Tell us about what happened?
{Taryn Terrell} I guess after one too many times of being constantly put down, belittled, and practically harassed by her, I just snapped. The next thing I knew, security was prying me off of her, and escorting me out of the building.
[Hector Guerrero] It's nice to hear that you put that no-good excuse for a cougar in her place. But how did you manage to get your job back after assaulting your boss, and the current GM of Redemption?
{Taryn Terrell} Well, as I'm sure you know, Hulk Hogan is the active General Manager of Breakdown. When he heard I was looking to get back in the business, he contacted me and offered me a job as a full-time Diva on his Breakdown brand. And what kind of a girl would I be to refuse an offer like that from Hulk Hogan?
[Hector Guerrero] Not a very wise one if you ask me, but that obviously isn't the case with you Miss Terrell. Leave it to Mr. Hogan to always deliver. Now onto tonight, you go head-to-head with Madison Rayne in singles competition. What thoughts are going through your mind as you head into this match on your very first night back?
{Taryn Terrell} I'm excited! I don't care who I have to go up against, because all that matters right now is that I'm back, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the groove of things around here! I've got a lot of catching up to do, but I can't wait to get physical in the ring tonight.
[Hector Guerrero] And I'm sure the fans are dying to see you get physical. Well, it looks like this interview has come to a close for now folks. Miss Terrell, it's been a pleasure interviewing you.
Hector turns and shakes Taryn's hand before signing off.
[Hector Guerrero] Be sure to stay tuned to see the "Hot Mess" Taryn Terrell take on the "Killer Queen" Madison Rayne later tonight, I can guarantee I'll be paying very close attention.
Taryn blows a kiss the to audience, as Hector smiles and winks at the cameras, causing Taryn to laugh just before we fade out.
*Breakdown returns from a short advertisement for XWL's next Pay-Per-View, Dead Man's Hand, before an all to familiar image appears on the Titantron. It slowly fades before Dean Ambrose is shown pacing back and forth with Chris Jericho's World Heavyweight Championship in tow, possibly playing the events that transpired last week over and over in his head. With his ally in Men of Honor, AJ Styles, seemingly out of commission for the time being, due to the assault at the hands of Samoa Joe just a mere seven days ago, Ambrose is forced to face the very same man that took out his brother in arms. And with his World Heavyweight Championship match against Chris Jericho just over the horizon, what must Dean's mindset be going into what could be the biggest match in his career thus far? Ambrose stops in his tracks, with his back to the camera, and runs his hand through his hair before turning around and beginning to speak.*
{Dean Ambrose} Did I finally silence Chris Jericho? I hear and see everything that goes on around this place, but one thing that I didn't hear was you. Why is that? Did I get into your head? Or did you finally see me for the threat I truly am? Maybe you've realized that you can't win at Dead Man's Hand, maybe you're enjoying what little time you have left before I end your career. What ever the case may be, if that's all it took to silence the self-proclaimed best in the world at what ever it is he does, then it truly does amaze me how you've managed to win the World Heavyweight Championship in the first place.
{Dean Ambrose} Speaking of which, I still have it in my possession, some “champion” you are. When I hold this championship in my hands, it seems that it's slowly losing it's value, is it not? I see the wondering eyes, I hear the careless whispers, a lot of people don't like that I have this in my possession, a lot of people talk behind my back, but none of them, not a single person, has the balls to step up and try to take this away from me. You know why, Jericho? Because they'll get their fingers broken, they'll get their hands broken, they'll get their legs broken, they'll get their head broken, they'll get their arms broken, and no one has the balls to step up because they know that they will get knocked down fast!
{Dean Ambrose} Dead Man's Hand is just around the corner, Jericho, six days away to be exact, and this World Heavyweight Championship will remain in my grasp, and there's nothing you or anybody else can do about it. Bring the best you have to offer, bring everything you have, it won't matter because the fates have already decided that after Dead Man's Hand, this company will enter it's darkest of nights. And with me holding it's most prestigious championship, I plan on bringing this company down to its knees for wrongfully terminating my contract one year ago.
{Dean Ambrose} Samoa Joe, you have pissed me off for the final time. First, you took out Corey Graves and lowered our numbers down to two. Then last week, you took out AJ Styles and now I'm the last one left standing. That won't be for long, however, because AJ is ten times the man Corey Graves was and he will be back sooner rather than later. You have single-handedly been a thorn at the side of Men of Honor since AJ tried to recruit you, and in turn, you've slowly have become a thorn at my side; that is a mistake you won't live to regret.
{Dean Ambrose} You have systematically taken out Men of Honor, one by one, but now, now I get to return the favor. Now, I get to take you out personally. It was cool when you took out Corey Graves, we were planning on doing that anyways, you did us a favor, but then, last week, you took out my right hand man, you took out AJ Styles. That doesn't sit well with Dean Ambrose. It's a bitter pill to swallow, but I've come to terms with what I have to do tonight, and that's take you out.
{Dean Ambrose} You call yourself the Samoan Submission Machine, the Nation of Violence, but after tonight, the only thing you're going to be called is a victim. I'm going to victimize you, Samoa Joe! I'm going to make you pay for your sins! It's not going to be enough to beat you tonight, that's not even what I want, what I do want, is Samoa Joe's head... on a stick! You will soon realize what you've caused, I will walk into our “match” a man that has nothing to lose, and if you thought Dean Ambrose was dangerous before, you haven't seen anything yet. Believe that!
*With that said, Ambrose turns his back to the camera and begins to walk away, with the World Heavyweight Championship still in his grasp, and heads towards the set of double doors located in front of him. He places his hand on the door to open it but instead of pushing it forward, Ambrose just stands there and begins to mumble to himself for a moment. Then almost instantly, Dean turns around and shouts out to the camera, “Ambrose is gonna kill you!” putting his own spin on Samoa Joe's infamous line. Ambrose then turns back around and forcefully opens the door, causing it to crash into the wall on the other side. Breakdown fades to a short commercial break as the video comes to a close.*

[Michael Cole] Well, ladies and gentlemen, right now, live via satellite is a man we haven't seen since Final Stand V, Shawn Michaels.
[Shawn Michaels] Yeah, I'm not happy to be here either. Especially after what Ted DiBiase did to me at Final Stand V. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering if I respect Ted now that he beat me twice in a row or whatever. The simple fact is that I don't. I still think Ted DiBiase isn't even in my league, and isn't worthy to lace my boots. He's still mooching off his dad's success, and he's still the same boring, annoying little pest that he's been the last two years. The man broke my arm in that Hell in a Cell match. I won't be able to wrestle for God knows how long because of that irresponsible little brat, yet XWL management does their best to kiss up to him because "he was fired unfairly" or whatever lame excuse he tries to use to gain the fan's sympathy. Newsflash Ted, no one cares about your little pity parties anymore. You got your contract, now sit down and shut up, chump change. I will say this though, The Heartbreak Kid is coming back, and he's gonna keep on doing what he does best, being The Showstopper, The Main Event, and The Icon of XWL. Yeah, I'm gonna have to start at the bottom and work my way back up, but with the so-called "talent" running around XWL these days, it's definitely not going to be a challenge for me.
[Shawn Michaels] Hell, I could wrestle with this one good arm and still beat Ted DiBiase. The wins he got over me were nothing but flukes. Small, insignificant flukes. Just like his world title win, and just like every other win he's had. They don't matter, and I certainly don't care. Trust me, I'll be glad to sit back and relax while I watch Cody Rhodes pick him apart, and hopefully he'll get him fired, AGAIN.
[Michael Cole] Well, Mr. Michaels, I have a few questions I'd like you to answer. I'd ask how you're feeling but you've seemingly answered that already, so my next question is when are we going to see you back in an XWL ring?
[Shawn Michaels] You know, Michael, I don't really know considering I just broke my arm a month ago if you bothered to listen to a word I said. It could be weeks, it could be months. But I am coming back, and I'm coming for the XWL World Heavyweight Championship. But as I said, it's just a matter of time and fate, Michael. I'm sure the XWL Universe misses me, because without me, there isn't a show, really. Just a bunch of rookie punks and hacks who deserve to be fired as soon as I get back, who have a little Sweet Chin Music in their future. But that's not really what I'm here to talk about, right? I'm here of course, to talk about my favorite subject, and that being me! So, I'm sure you'd like to know what I've done this month, right? Well, I filmed the first season of "The Heartbreak Hotel", which will be shown exclusively on XWL.com for all my fans to see. I wrote, directed, and starred in a movie about my life, I enjoyed nice family events with Rebecca and my son, Cameron. I've basically just been amazing, but of course, I'm Shawn Michaels, so that's no surprise.
[Shawn Michaels] And of course, XWL also made me do a few charity things for Make-A-Gift or whatever, but that's not really a big deal. The big deal here is me, and that's why I'm talking to you right now. Without me, this show is a borderline Titanic that's ready to sink, and I'm just the captain for the job to steer it away from the Iceberg and into a grave with WCW, ECW, AWA, NWA, you name it. Yeah, I've got a bad arm right now, but that won't stop me from being simply the best sports entertainer on the planet today. Nobody can stop me. Ted DiBiase, Dean Ambrose, Christian, Chris Jericho, The Rock, all a bunch of nobodies and second-rate knockoffs, pretend "superstars", and all-in-all, can't hold a candle to The Icon of XWL, which would be me!
[Michael Cole] What are your thoughts on Vickie Guerrero? Have you kept in contact with her? Do you believe that she had an effect on you losing to Te...
[Shawn Michaels] Look, I just used Vickie Guerrero to get what I wanted, I'll flat-out admit it, because I'm no liar. I screwed Ted DiBiase like I screwed Bret Hart in 1997. And he deserved it! He wants to run around crying and whining and saying "Oh, it's not fair! It's not fair". Don't make me laugh. Life's not fair, and then you die. I broke my back in 1998 and I've come back to be the best wrestler alive, Ted got fired and he's still the same little whiny brat that he was when he walked into XWL. And Vickie? She's just using the Guerrero name to do whatever she pleases. I don't care about Vickie Guerrero, and I certainly don't care about Ted DiBiase. If I have to use a few people to get what I want, then yeah, I'll do it, and each and every one of you would too if you had the chance.
[Shawn Michaels] You know what championships do to a man, Michael? Well, obviously not, but I'll tell you what they do. They make you more vicious, more hungry, more self-centered. They make you want them back when you lose them, at whatever the cost. I can make a deal with the devil and not care about it anymore, because the XWL World Title consumes me, Michael Cole, it's got me greedy, hungry, wanting, itching for the chance to get it in my hands, and I'm never letting go of it once I do. Yeah, I'm not going to win Time's Man of The Year, but if I win Champion of the Year and Wrestler of the Year like I did this past year, then they're the only awards that I feel are worth going for. Awards mean nothing though, really. The fame and fortune of being a champion are what's worth it. And that's the only reason we're all really here. Titles. Glory. Power. If you have them, you're THE man in this company. Without them, you're just another Ted DiBiase or another Joey Ryan. But there's only one Shawn Michaels, and that one Shawn Michaels is here to stay. That Shawn Michaels is the only one in that locker room worthy enough to be a champion.
[Michael Cole] One last question, Shawn, what are your thoughts on Dead Man's Hand?
[Shawn Michaels] Do you expect me to care about Dead Man's Hand, Michael Cole? I'm not going to be on the card! So I'm not going to watch it! And millions around the world shouldn't either, because I'm not going to be there at Dead Man's Hand! I'm going to be here in San Antonio with my family, because that's the only thing that matters this Sunday. No one cares if Dean Ambrose faces Chris Jericho, no one cares if Christian cashes in Money In The Bank, because Shawn Michaels won't be there to make the show better. And in the end, that's all that really matters. If the big name guy isn't on the show, you ain't gonna watch, and that's exactly what XWL fans should do...not...watch. Because I'm The Showstopper, The Headliner, The Icon, The Heartbreak Kid...and no one else can fill the role I fill. No one can step into the shoes that I molded, no one...can ever be the "next" Shawn Michaels. I'm the original, and the one and the only. So who's gonna stop me? Because I'm not stopping until I'm at the top, where I truly belong.
[Shawn Michaels] So unless you've got any more questions you want to ask me...I'm out of here. Enjoy your trainwreck, boys. Because after Dead Man's Hand...HBK just might be coming home.

*Breakdown returns from commercial break and the titantron lights up and reveals the current Mister Money In The Bank, Christian, standing somewhere backstage. He has his head held, obviously still aching after the attack he was part of last week. The camera begins to zoom out, showing more of the room until a certain worker appears next to Christian, that worker being none other then the Breakdown General Manager himself, Hulk Hogan! The fans cheer as Christian begins to speak to him with a hint of anger in his tone, not happy after last week.*
[Christian] Listen, brother, why hasn't anything been done about CM Punk's attack last week? He nearly gave me a concussion, I'm lucky to even be standing here and he isn't getting punished for any of this. Is there like some sort of conspiracy against Christian or what?
[Hulk Hogan] You listen here, brother, you're lucky you haven't been punished yourself for attempting to attack CM Punk, not just once, but twice now. I can see what you mean though. But unfortunately this incident didn't happen on my show so if you want to go and complain to anyone, I suggest you wait till Dead Man's Hand and talk to Vickie.
[Christian] Breakdown, Redemption, what is the difference? Both of the shows have terrible General Managers and both of them have higher ratings when I'm on the screens of millions upon millions of televisions across the world. You should have been like "Dude, I'll do something about this right away" or however you'd stupidly say it.
[Hulk Hogan] Listen jack, I'm your boss in case you haven't forgotten, it isn't just Vickie Guerrero anymore so I suggest you do what is right and treat me like you should. Now back to this Punk topic, from the way things seem, you and Punk have some obvious bad blood against each other that needs to be solved as soon as we possibly can.
[Christian] That isn't the only thing that needs to be solved, but whatever, go on with what you were saying.
[Hulk Hogan] I was talking to Vickie the other day, and both of us mutually agreed that we had to have a rematch between you and CM Punk sometime soon. We never said when, just sometime in the near future.
[Christian] So you can watch CM Punk pick up a lucky win against me once again? Or so you can see me embarrass the so called "best in the world" in that ring? Either one would be bound to happen, no doubt about it.
[Hulk Hogan] Well, we can dream, can't we? But the reality is, I'm making this official right here, right now. At Dead Man's Hand we are going to see you, Captain Charisma, Christian going one on one with the Best In The World, Straightedge Superstar, CM Punk! And the stipulation of that match shall b-
[Christian] Whoa, wait a minute. I'm not in condition to wrestle on Sunday, especially after that attack you have yet to do something about, there is no way my head will be all healed up in less then a week. You can't do this, I'm injured.
[Hulk Hogan] Dude, you aren't injured, don't try and pull that. And to make sure you compete on Sunday against CM Punk, if you don't make an effort to compete in this match, you shall be stripped of your Money In The Bank briefcase. It's as simple as that, can't have someone hold that who refuses to compete.
[Christian] You've got to be kiddi-
[Hulk Hogan] And brother, I wasn't finished. Before you leave, we are going to see what the stipulation of your match at Dead Man's Hand is going to be. And here we have it, the Dead Man's Hand stipulation wheel.
*Hogan pulls the wheel into view of the camera, looking at the options we see a couple of them that were made just for this match. Like "Briefcase Is On The Line" and stuff like that. Hogan looks at Christian who has a somewhat nervous look on his face as Hogan spins it. It spins and spins, slowly beginning to slow down. It has come to a near stop, about to stop of the "Briefcase Is On the Line" stipulation before it barely makes it to the next one which is "Briefcase Is A Legal Weapon." Christian seems relieved as Hogan begins to speak once more.*
[Hulk Hogan] Well, this should be interesting, wouldn't you agree? Now, before you answer, I suggest you leave my office right now because you've got a match with Dolph Ziggler to get ready for. Oh and if you don't choose to compete in this match, then we may just see a new Money In The Bank holder because like i said, we can't have someone hold the briefcase who refuses to compete in matches.
*Christian stares dead into the eyes of Hogan before storming out of the room with his briefcase still in hand. We then fade to the next segment of the night.*

*We return from a commercial break where Matt Striker is shown alongside Dolph Ziggler before his huge match against Mr. Money in the Bank himself, Christian!*
[Matt Striker] Dolph, you personally requested this time to speak your mind so I'm just gonna go ahead and let you do just that.
*Matt holds the mic to Dolph.*
[Dolph Ziggler] Thanks, Matt. I'm not really in the mood for back and forth questions or anything like that, I just feel like I have a lot to get off my chest. Especially with the kinda match tonight, it may not seem like much to you watching at home but my match against Christian means the world to me. You all saw our confrontations before Final Stand about how we both promised to win Money in the Bank and grab the brass ring for the first time.. And now Christian is the one with the briefcase that I wanted more than anything else! See, tonight I have a point to prove. Tonight I need to prove to myself and everyone else that I'm the rightful Money in the Bank winner by beating Christian as clean as a sheet in the center of that ring. But to me, if I beat Christian I prove that I'm above that briefcase and I should be given a World Championship Shot. I know, I Know. You're probably sick of hearing me go on and on about wanting, no.. NEEDING a title shot but that's because I'm in tunnel vision.
[Dolph Ziggler] I have my sights set on gold. It's been far too long since I've had some and I know my time is coming. The only reason you're hearing this from me week in and week out is because I know and deep down every other guy and gal in the back who lace up a pair of boots know that nobody works harder than me. I'm the kinda guy who can't sleep at night if I lose a match and that's because I'm a perfectionist, "I am perfection" wasn't just a catchphrase, it was a lifestyle. Showing off isn't just a tag line that I throw out there to get on a T-Shirt. It's just how I am! Because I'm truly the only superstar who has the right to show off. Tonight is another notch on my belt when I beat Christian, I have a pinfall victory over the #1 Contender and adding a victory over Mr. Money in the Bank just sweetens the deal.
*Dolph shrugs his shoulders.*
[Dolph Ziggler] Are all of these wins actually going to get me somewhere or get me the title shot that I deserve? I don't know, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit back and let another person get the shot that I deserve. Chris Jericho is a World Champion who hasn't had his own title in his hands for weeks at this point, and the #1 Contender himself is a former drug dealer who beat up harmless women like Vickie Guerrero in the past. What XWL needs is a man who won't let some thug run around with his title, a man of respect and a man of the highest ability the company has ever seen! And you're looking at that man, Matt. I'm sick and tired of hearing people say that Dolph Ziggler is the uncrowned champion, saying that my time will come, good things come to those who wait right? Well I'm sick and tired of waiting and it's time to step up and let my voice be heard!
[Dolph Ziggler] And I'll keep letting my voice be heard every week until I have my shot, and I'll keep proving myself in the ring against any and all comers until I have my shot! Because that's just how I do it being the hardest working man in sports entertainment. I'm not here to beat around the bush, I'm here to get stuff done and I'm not going to settle for anything less than #1. And I don't just mean being #1 for the time being, I mean being the man. I want people to look back at my career and talk about how I was THE greatest to ever step foot in that ring. I want to have my own wing in the Hall of Fame when I retire! I want the longest World Title reign XWL has ever seen. I want it all, Matt. And I'm going to get it all. I'm not settling for second best ever again.
*Dolph takes a deep breath and walks out of view to prepare for his match against Captain Charisma as the camera pans back to Matt Striker.*
[Matt Striker] There you have it folks, a very motivated Dolph Ziggler who is set for action later on tonight!
*We fade away to a video package for the all American American, Jack Swagger!*

[Interviewer]: Mickie last week you had a match with Kaitlyn. How do you think that went?
[Mickie]: Well I think it went ok for the most part until she came out. You and everyone else both know who I am talking about Madison Rayne. You see the only reason I lost that match is because she distracted me which allowed my opponent to hit the spear and pick up the win. I had her going for most of the match. I would have won that match but that’s ok because Madison Rayne will get hers.
[Interviewer]: Tonight you have a match with Brie Bella. Do you think the same thing will happen or will you be able to pull out the win?
[Mickie]: Me and Brie are close friends and this should be a great match. She is one of the greatest divas in this business and a tough one at that. She will be difficult to beat but I think I can pull out a victory over her. Only if Madison can keep her ass in the back. This is might be my second chance to try and get my spot for the divas championship. I am not going to blow this so Madison if you know whats good for you ull stay in the locker room.
[Interviewer]: I just have one more question Mickie. Next week at Dead Mans Hand will you be able to beat Madison rayne for the second time or will she beat you.
[Mickie]: I do think I always know and what I know is that I will beat her because…….
Laughter comes from across as Madison Rayne is walking towards the interview for Mickie
[Madison]: hahahaha You think you can beat me Mickie that is really funny you know. What makes you think that you can beat me now?
[Mickie]: I can beat you because I have before. I have way more talent then you have. All you have is a body guard there is know way that you will be able to win. I am always ready to put my body on the line. What makes you think that I can’t win.
[Madison]: The fact that I have been in your head ever since final stand. Every time I have gotten into your head you have lost all of your matches. I have been the one that has cost you your shot into the divas title ranking. So Mickie I ask you again what makes you think that you will beat me.
[Mickie]: Pure determination Madison. Its true that you have cost me my chance but hey I might get another shot. I do know one thing I will beat your ass and you will not walk out of Dead Mans Hand victorious. You will walk out on your hands and knees bowing down to Miss Hardcore Country her self. Me Mickie James now do you have what it takes to get HARDCORE Madison?
Camera fades as Mickie and Madison Star each other down

[Jeremy Borash]: Ladies and Gentlemen I have Angelina Love standing here next to me. Angelina now I know you don’t have much time but I just had to talk to you for a moment. Now you had a successful return at Final Stand but every match you just came up short.
[Angelina]: Yes I know that is all because of that no life self centered little girl Velvet Sky. She has cost me several matches and I have let her get to me every single time. I can’t wait till dead mans hand so I can rip her head right off her body. You see she was the one that cost me my career but I’m not going to let that happen again. I am ready for Dead Mans Hand. It’ll be me and her but this time she won’t be able to get away.
[Jeremy Borash]: One more question you have a match with Natalya. How do you think that will play out.
[Angelina]: Well Jeremy Natalya is a tough competitor and has a back breaking submission. She will be tough to beat but I am going to do my best to win. I’ll do whatever I can to win. All I have to say is that Velvet better not try to interrupt this match because I will get my hands on her and she won’t make it to Dead Mans Hand.

*Breakdown returns from commercial break and as we head backstage we see the XWL Diva's Champion, Kaitlyn, is seen stretching as she prepares for her match later on in the show against the current Miss Money In The Bank, Madison Eagles.*
*Kaitlyn stops though as she looks to the ground and a pair of shoes step in front of her. Kaitlyn doesn't really have any idea who it is until she stands up, camera following her, and it is revealed to be the former XWL Divas Champion, Maryse! The crowd boos as Kaitlyn begins to speak with a bit of a confused tone in her voice.*
[Kaitlyn] Uhh, hey? Not to sound rude, but what do you want? Mock me in french, say how you'll take my championship in french, call me a man in french, I don't know, I'd just expect something along the lines of that coming from someone like you.
[Maryse] Aww, pauvre Kaitlyn. Etes-vous vraiment que peur d'insulter quelqu'un vous? I mean...I'd be scared too. You've got The Bellas, Paige, Layla, Beth, Alicia, you've got them all breathing down your neck for a title shot, right? That's a lot of girls to try and put down, you know? C'est une honte. Aucun ami pour vous aider. I know when I was Divas Champion, I had a lot of girls chasing my title. These girls in the back, they're sharks, girl.
[Kaitlyn] I don't know what you are trying to pull, but I'm not falling for it. I don't know if you have someone ready to attack me from behind or what, but I'm not falling for whatever this is. I watched XWL in its early years and I watched you and the one thing I learned is that you are one if the biggest sharks this company has ever seen. Lying, cheating, conniving, anything along the lines of that could perfectly explain you.
[Maryse] Kaitlyn...Kaitlyn. I realize, I haven't been a goody-goody like yourself. But even I can realize when a girl is in trouble. Whether you want to admit it or not, vous avez beaucoup de filles qui feraient n'importe quoi pour se débarrasser de vous. I know you probably want to keep telling yourself that you're a big girl who can handle all the other Divas by yourself, but the fact is that you can't. Your best friend AJ turned into some psycho and went after you. Who's to say any of the other girls you call friends here won't do the same? Which...is where I come in.
[Kaitlyn] And that is where you come in to add yet another enemy to my long list of enemies? Listen, Maryse, I don't have any friends around here and I'm not sad or upset about that. I'm here to be the diva of this company and I've done just that. I don't need friends who could potentially turn on me like AJ did so yeah, is that understandable? Why don't you go and bother someone else, I'm busy getting ready for match against Madison Eagles later on tonight.
[Maryse] Are you forgetting she has the Miss Money In The Bank case, Kaitlyn? So you beat Madison in your match. What if she cashes in for another match, for the title, and she beats you. Then she'll be the diva of the company, and you'll be just another girl in the long line of contenders. It'd be fitting though. When I got injured and had to forfeit the case, you won it and that's how you won the title, I guess it comes full circle if Madison Eagles cashes in on you. I'm just saying, I figured you'd need a little...backup, you know? In case Madison cashes in...or The Bellas or Layla and Paige or any of the other divas try to take you out. You could use someone on your side...that's what I'm offering. Take a sec to think about it. Your match isn't for a little while and I've got all the time in the world tonight for your answer.
[Kaitlyn] Maryse wanting to help me? Excuse me, but am I dreaming? I don't know what you are trying to pull, and I've said this now a few times, I'm not falling for it. I know who you are, I've seen what you've pulled in this company. Things like ditching Ted because he lost it all so you went onto the next best star because of how much you are obsessed with being pampered. I've seen you do too many things and say too many things in your history with this company to ever think about trusting you to "watch my back" or anything like that. Madison Eagles isn't beating me tonight, she won't be cashing in on me tonight, I'm the champion walking into the match and I'll be the champion walking out of the match and that is that. I've beat Layla, Paige and all of them before, I've even beaten you, so I don't think I nee- No, I know I don't need any help beating them again.
[Maryse] Vous aurez besoin de mon aide si vous croyez le ou non, petite fille...I'm not trying to pull anything, Kaitlyn. I'm completely serious girl, I'll be glad to help you out if you need it. It seems like you need a friend or two backstage, and I'm offering my services.
*Maryse flips her hair back as she walks past Kaitlyn, moving on to do whatever else she has planned tonight. Kaitlyn still doesn't seem to sure about her, watching her as she walks away to make sure she doesn't get her from behind or anything like that.*
*Once Maryse is out of site, Kaitlyn turns her attention back to training for the match against Madison Eagles later tonight, knowing if she loses once, she could even lose twice in one night.*
*We then fade to a video package for Rob Van Dam.*

*We return from a commercial break where XWL interviewer Lauren is shown with "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe before his first ever Main Event match in XWL against the psychotic Dean Ambrose. You can tell Joe is in the zone for his match.*
[Lauren] Samoa Joe, tonight you go one on one with-
*Suddenly Joe grabs the microphone as Lauren flinches.*
[Samoa Joe] Lauren, I'm not exactly in a question and answer mood right now, so just give me the microphone and let me talk.
[Lauren] I was just trying to-
*Suddenly Joe takes the microphone into his possession and shouts.*
[Samoa Joe] I SAID GIVE ME THE MICROPHONE AND LET ME TALK!
*Lauren scurries away looking frightened as a focused Joe turns to the camera and talks in a raised tone.*
[Samoa Joe] DEAN AMBROSE!! Who the hell do you think you are?! Do you know who you're messing with, boy? You talked about me like I was somebody else, that's what really gets me. You acted like Samoa Joe was just another wrestler, you're wrong, so wrong Dean. I didn't have a problem with you at first, we all know I just wanted to get my revenge on AJ Styles but you just became a thorn in my side by getting in my way because of your affiliation with AJ. I know damn well that I've taken the Men of Honor down piece by piece and I can't WAIT to see you try and fail to get a shred of vengeance for what I've done to your precious little group. You're going into a World Heavyweight Championship match at Dead Man's Hand with no backup right now, that's got to make you a little nervous right? Nobody to help you screw over Chris Jericho..
[Samoa Joe] I know you've been in plenty of fights in your days, and I don't mean any ordinary fights. I mean real fights where anything goes and I mean anything. But what you're walking into tonight is nothing you've ever experienced before, you're going to square up to a machine and you're going down. You may be walking around with Chris Jericho's World Title right now but by the end of the night you won't be walking out of the arena. Tonight it's dog eat dog, you want to take me out and I want to take you out and end the Men of Honor once and for all. I've gotten the better of the original three Men of Honor, and then you and AJ and you really expect to take me down one on one when you couldn't even finish the job when you had your guys with you? You really are more stupid than I thought, Dean.
[Samoa Joe] You act like you're tough, you act like you know what you're doing out there but tonight you're nothing more than a deer in the headlights. You said that you're walking into the match tonight with nothing to lose but really you have everything to lose. What would happen if you were injured tonight at the hands of me? Just like Corey.. just like AJ.. You'd lose it all. You'd lose possession of that belt you've taken hostage, you'd lose your match against Chris Jericho at the Pay Per View. You're going to try make me pay for my "sins"? I welcome it with open arms, try your best because your best isn't going to be good enough to beat me. I'm undefeated since my XWL debut at Final Stand and you're not going to be that man to end that.
[Samoa Joe] Tonight I cut the head off the snake and end the Men of Honor once and for all. Corey Graves? Done. AJ Styles? Done. Dean Ambrose? The next victim. When you're standing in that ring on your own and you hear my theme music, and those people begin to chant "Joe's gonna kill you." over and over, that's when you know it's over because we all know that Joe IS gonna kill you.
*Joe drops the microphone with a glare and walks out of view as we head to a video package for the ever so charismatic Alex Shelley, who is now the #1 Contender to Wade Barrett's US Title at Dead Man's Hand.*

Matt Striker Ladies and gentlemen I am standing backstage with the United States champion Wade Barrett, Now Wade last week you and Alex Shelley determined the stipulation for your championship clash at Dead Man's Hand. There were two different match types picked a Sharks in the water match and a no holds barred match. Now Vickie decided to merge the two matches into one giving the fans what's sure to be an exciting bout. Can you tell us any more information about this new match type other than it's name?
Wade Barrett It's basically two men patrolling around the ring in case Shelley decides to run like the coward he is, They'll block off his escape and brutalise him for me. There's nowhere he'll be able to hide inside the ring and those two gentlemen will eliminate his ability to run away. That sums up Sharks in the water, The no holds barred aspect is much more fun because it means that I get to end yet another career here in XWL. I started with Jeff Hardy and Ezekiel Jackson now I'm going to finish what Kurt Angle couldn't, For too long Alex has been avoiding one on one competition against true competitors like myself. He started a tag team so he didn't have to endure warriors like me on a regualr basis, Maybe after I've cracked a couple of steel chairs over his head he'll be able think a bit clearer.
Matt Striker Wade last week you assaulted Alex Shelley after his match with Kofi Kingston that many people believe was a deciding factor in what was essentially a handicap match pitting Chris Sabin against both members of The American Wolves. How do you feel about being responsible for Sabin getting pummeled by The American Wolves?
Wade Barrett Proud. I'm proud of what happened last week because Sabin got what was coming to him, He interjected himself into the match type selection last week and he paid for it. Now I didn't know that Richards and Edwards were going to do anything, I simply went out there to teach Alex a lesson in respect. He refused to act like he should've around such a great champion so I smashed his face in with my elbow. The fact that he was helpless as his best friend was getting destroyed only a few feet away, That was just a wonderful bonus. That was just a little bit, A trailer if you will for what I'm going to do to him at Dead Man's Hand.
Matt Striker Alright Wade, One final question tonight you're going up against Kofi Kingston what're your thoughts on this match?
Wade Barrett Kofi Kingston? That's who they send to face me the week before the PPV? The man can't even defeat Alex Shelley how's he meant to stand even the slightest chance against a great superstar like me? They are sending him to the slaughterhouse and he doesn't even realise it yet. Is he even cleared to wrestle? I saw what Rollins did to him last week, Granted Rollins isn't exactly dangerous so he's probably fully fit already. Tonight I'm going to decimate Kofi, I'm going to do what Seth Rollins can't and that's get rid of him for good.
Wade walks off screen as Matt hypes the rest of the show until the screen fades to the next segment

Breakdown heads inside the building upon returning from a commercial break, deep within the halls of the backstage area we scan the area for something, though we're not sure what, that is until out of the corner of the camera we see Ted DiBiase in the middle of a conversation with someone over the phone.
{Ted DiBiase} So did my dad stop by like I asked him to?
He nods to himself as the person responds, and our cameras get closer, trying not to interupt but also trying to get a good placement for picture and sound.
{Ted DiBiase} I know you can take care of yourself, but...with this whole Cody thing it just makes me feel a lot better knowing someone is there with you while I'm away. McGillicutty attacked my father before to get to me, I don't know if Cody will stoop to that level and try something like that, I just want you and Tate safe during all of this.
Again the cameraman creeps closer, which by now Ted has noticed them, and instead of smiling like he used to when bugged like this, he lets out a slightly annoyed sigh.
{Ted DiBiase} Hey I hate to cut this short but I gotta go, I'll call you from the plane before takeoff, give Tate a kiss for me and tell my dad if anything suspicious happens to call me immediately. Okay thanks, love you too, bye.
He pushes the button on his phone to hang up, then directs his somewhat annoyed gaze at the cameraman.
{Cameraman} Excuse me Ted, I'm sorry for the interruption...
Ted chimes in with a response before they can finish their sentence.
{Ted DiBiase} Of course you are...yet you still did it.
{Cameraman} Is this a bad time? I can come back later.
{Ted DiBiase} Well, and I'm not usually one to complain, but you saw me on the phone, you could've come back in like five minutes so I could actually talk to my wife, but instead you stuck around...last I checked this isn't TMZ where every little thing has to be broadcast to the entire world.
{Cameraman} I didn't mean to agitate you.
{Ted DiBiase} It's fine, this whole Cody thing just has me on edge a bit, still pretty pissed off about three weeks ago, but that's not your fault so I'm sorry for biting your head off...I know I haven't been the easiest to get a hold of since I got resigned, but I've kinda just been focused on the task at hand you know?
{Cameraman} Of course, speaking of which, aside from Cody coming back and setting his sights on eradicating you from XWL, are you happy to be back?
{Ted DiBiase} Oh I'm happy either way, Cody being back doesn't automatically make me regret coming back, it just was a bit sooner than I expected for something to go horribly wrong. I realize there are a few groups of people in this company that don't like me, but I thought hey, I just went through the epitome of hell, surely I can get a minute or two to enjoy the spoils of being back, but...I guess I thought wrong.
{Cameraman} You've spoken about how that attack didn't really piss you off because it was something you've experienced before from many others, but because it was in front of your wife and son, how exactly are they holding up now that it's been a few weeks since the incident?
{Ted DiBiase} Yeah I'm really overprotective so I'm more so the one freaking out about it now, my wife gets it, it's apart of the game, it's basically what I signed up for when I started training, but to be there in the moment just really bothered her to be so helpless and to see me basically suffocating in my own blood...pretty sick stuff, not exactly the kinda stuff you wanna see your loved one go through, luckily Tate's so young so he doesn't really get what happened, but as a father I hate he had to be apart of that. It's my duty to protect them and I felt like I let them down to fight for so long to come back to XWL, and then on my first night back I get blindsided and busted up by a guy with a serious grudge against me.
{Cameraman} Are you concerned that Cody might take his issues with you out on your family or something?
{Ted DiBiase} I don't know...I don't think he'd sink that low...I'd like to think he has enough sense in him to know that'd be the last decision he ever made....but some people are a lot more stupid than you give them credit for, so I'd rather be safe than sorry.
{Cameraman} We understand that you got quite the ear full after the show two weeks ago when you tried to assault Cody in the ring, are you worried that you might be pushing it a little too much by trying to be so defiant to authority? You did just get resigned, isn't it a little foolish, with all due respect, to act that so..
{Ted DiBiase} Let me guess, reckless?
{Cameraman} In a way yes.
{Ted DiBiase} You either mean it that way, or you don't, there's no inbetween, if there's one thing that ticks me off is someone pussyfooting around instead of saying what they mean, I'm already pretty ticked off, not like you could piss me off any more than I am.
{Cameraman} Well then, don't you think it might be in your best interest to, um behave?
{Ted DiBiase} Behave? Listen here buddy, I don't know if you're new or anything, but I'm not one for kissing up to anybody. I wanna be known for being great not because of who I sucked up to, but because of how I got it done in that ring every time I had to. I wanna be respected, and you don't gain respect by following a crowd and doing as they do, or everyone else before them had. You don't forge your own legacy by playing by anybodies rules but your own. I still fight fair, I never pull off any underhanded stunts to pull the momentum into my favor, I just kick ass, it's as simple as that.
{Cameraman} But Vickie is your boss, there should be some kind of respect there.
{Ted DiBiase} There SHOULD be, maybe....and before that may have been the case for me, maybe there was a sliver of respect just because, but now? She can go to hell. The bitch fired me, time sure as hell didn't heal that wound, it just got worse and worse...then when I FINALLY try to come back, hoping and praying she would give me just ONE match to prove my worth, to regain my contract, she chooses to make it into one sick as hell game for her own amusement...she chose to screw me time after time because she felt like I wasn't worthy enough...but eventually it all caught up too her, you can only screw me so many times before you end up screwing yourself.
{Ted DiBiase} The very thing that got me fired, got me rehired, a bit of poetic justice, no?
{Cameraman} But what's to stop it from happening again? Surely pissing Vickie off isn't the answer.
{Ted DiBiase} That's the thing, I don't care if I piss her off, because I'm back for good, you think I settled for any old piss poor deal she offered me? Shoot no, I took that first contract she offered me, balled that sum bitch up and threw it in the trash, then I told her she can take that contract and shove it up where the sun don't shine because I wasn't about to let her weasel me out of a job again. No, I went straight to the top to finalize my deal, I didn't care about the pay, the perks meant nothing to me, but what did mean something, was a little thing called job security. To put it bluntly without letting the cat out of the bag too much, I'm back for good.
{Cameraman} Another minor thing I'd like to ask you about....you seem to have some....anger issues....
{Ted DiBiase} Who me? Nahhhhh I'm as cuddly as a porcupine.
{Cameraman} Have you ever considered....seeking help for that?
{Ted DiBiase} You act like I'm the angriest person in the world, am I pissed off a lot? Sure, but it's better than letting everyone walk all over me like they used to. I'm not here to play second fiddle to anybody, I'm here to be number one. Just because I'm more focused than I've ever been doesn't mean I've got anger "issues." It just means I'm not going to take crap from anyone anymore, if they start something with me, you best believe I'll finish it.
{Cameraman} Moving on from that, Cody attacked you on the night that you were official resigned, we know how that affected you, it angered you the way that it all went down, last week you two finally had it out in that ring verbally, he challenged you to a match this Sunday, and you accepted, what's in your mind going forward into that match?
Immediately he goes into an almost trance like thought process...you can tell he's looking forward to this Sunday's match and finally getting his hands on Cody without him being able to run away and hide behind security or anybody else.
{Ted DiBiase} Sick sick things...things, Cody has NO idea what he's in for when he steps into that ring with me, because when I'm done with him? There won't be a soul alive that will be able to call him "dashing" anymore. I won't just beat him, I'll teach him a lesson he won't soon forget. This isn't about a win or a loss to me, it's about something far greater, and that's revenge....revenge of the highest kind, he tried to make me suffocate in my own blood, and at Dead Man's Hand? I'll show him exactly what it feels like to be choking on your own blood....drenched in it...the feeling you get when it starts to drip into your eyes blinding you in the most mortifying way....Cody challenged me to a match Sunday, but I'm not stepping into that ring looking for a match...no...where's the fun in that? I'm just itching to do one thing and one thing only when he and I meet in that ring, I don't care about whatever some silly wheel lands on, my focus remains the same. Introduce my fist to his face over and over and over and over and OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
His tone and expression have intensified at this point, his eyes let us know that he's still very much so bothered by how things went three weeks ago, and let's not forget Cody is the one that started the whole Fire Ted campaign, in a lot of ways he's as responsible as Vickie was for him being put through hell for that entire time, the fact that Cody attacked Ted in front of his family just adds even more fuel to the already blazing out of control fire inside of him. After moments of silence, and seconds have passed where Ted hasn't blinked even once, he finally breaks the quiet yet harsh mood with a sudden change of expression, no longer angry, more so calm as he leaves us with these parting words...
{Ted DiBiase} That's all.
The cameraman seemingly doesn't want to trouble Ted more than he already has and he chooses to remain silent. Ted then walks away from them fiddling with his phone, most likely to callback his wife as we begin to fade away to an advertisement hyping this Sunday's Dead Man's Hand Pre-Show.

{JR} Ladies and gentlemen in just a moment we'll see a battle between two former Divas Champions, Brie Bella and Mickie James, but first we need to touch on an issue that came up last week, that unfortunately many people were in the dark about.
{King} That's right Nikki Bella was set to take on Paige in a match, we even heard from Paige before it, but from what we've gathered since there wasn't a cameraman on the scene, so we're just going by what others saw, Paige and Layla were walking down the hall, heading out for the match, when suddenly The Bella Twins attacked them, threw them into the walls, choked them, pulled strands of their hair out, threw Layla I think it was into a trash can filled with uneaten food from catering....and Paige was choked with electrical cable until security finally broke things up.
{Michael Cole} Due to the events of last week not only are we seeing the match that was supposed to take place last week take place tonight, Vickie Guerrero has taken it upon herself to organize a match this Sunday between these four women at Dead Man's Hand.
{JR} For the first time ever the team of XWL's resident Brits, Layla and Paige will take on XWL's resident twins, Brie and Nikki in tag-team action.
{King} Paige and Layla have yet to be beaten together when it comes to tag matches, though the Bella Twins will be the first actual team they'll have faced, so you have to wonder if that factor will seal defeat for them, or if their bond is stronger than that of two sisters.
{Michael Cole} Of course there's one other element, Sunday before their match someone will spin a wheel to decide what the stipulation to this match will be, and that'll certainly add a bit of unpredictability to this first time exchange.
{JR} But withotu further delay, it's time for more divas action, let's see how Brie fairs against the spunky Mickie James, who is naturally looking to keep her eye on the prize tonight, while keeping aware of her surroundings, she doesn't want Madison to distract her like last week.
{King} She's also got a tough match to prepare for against her Sunday, so naturally a win here will do wonders for her momentum heading into that match.
{Michael Cole} But she's facing Brie Bella, and she's no slouch by any means.

*The camera pans over the arena showing the cheering fans, jumping for joy, especially since their at a live show of BreakDown! The camera goes from the crowd shot to a shot of the announcers table.
{Cole} Welcome back everyone, up next we have a very interesting confontation taking place, we'll be seeing Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins in the same ring to determine what type of match they will be competing in at Dead Man's Hand.
{King} Vickie is already in the ring with one of our roulette wheels, a table with a contract, and a mic awaiting the entrances of our two combatants.
{J.R.} I hope for once this type of interaction does not end with violence and that means these two guys need to keep it in their pants.
*Just as J.R. finishes his line he is cut off by the theme of Kofi Kingston who flies out from the back smile on his face and begins slapping hands with the fans despite the punishment he took from Rollins last week. He makes it to ringside and enters the ring by sliding into the ring and shaking hands with Vickie herself who has a confused look on her face.
*Hate fires from the XWL universe as Rollins comes out onto the stage with a microphone in hand, but before he can speak Vickie cuts him off.
{Vickie Guerrero} Seth, there won't be any need for you to flap your jaw because I will be doing all of the talking here.
*The crowd cheered Vickie at first when she told Seth to be quiet but quickly turns on her when she says she'll do all the talking.
{Vickie Guerrero} EXCUSE ME!!
*The crowd noise picks up even louder.
{Vickie Guerrero} EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*The crowd actually starts quieting down, most likely being tired of hearing her voice.
{Vickie Guerrero} Thank you. These two men are in this ring so that they can determine what type of match they'll be facing each other in at Dead Man's Hand and to sign the contract located here on the table. Kofi won the coin flip in the back but left the spin in the hands of Seth Rollins. Seth if you would do the honors please.
*Rollins walks up to the wheel and stares at a moment before patting the slot labeled "Extreme Rules", he then grabs the wheel and spins it viciously. Around and around and around the wheel goes before beginning to slow down, the crowd goes silent with anticipation as Kofi and Rollins both stare intently at the wheel as the wheel comes to a stop with the needle pointing at......
{Cole} A TABLES match folks!
{King} Wow! These to men get the chance to beat each other to the point of allowing a person to drive you through a table!
{Cole} This Sunday just got a whole lot more interesting for these men.
*The camera readjusts to Vickie Guerrero who is shown filling in the table stipulation on the contract.
{Vickie Guerrero} Gentlemen, if you would please.
*Vickie slides the pen and paper across the table towards the two men. Kofi grabs the pen and signs the paper first before nudging it towards Rollins as Kofi turns to the fans and begins clapping and playing to the crowd. Rollins finishes signing the document and then sets the pen down but continues staring at the table.
{Vickie Guerrero} It is official! At Dead Man's Hand Kofi Kingston will meet Seth Rollins in a Tables match!
*The crowd beings cheering as Kofi tells them to get louder but as he turns around....SUPER KICK! Rollins floors Kofi as Vickie scrambles from the ring, Kofi lays motionless on the mat as Rollins drags him up by his hair and begins insulting him by whispering into his ear. Rollins then throws Kofi head first into the Match Wheel!!!
{J.R} Why?! Why not save it till Sunday?!
{Cole} He's making a point J.R.
{King} He didn't do that last week when he jumped Kofi last week as he was leaving?
{Cole} Rollins means business, just because Kofi isn't prepared and chooses not to be aware is his own problem!
*Rollins draws his thumb across his throat and lifts Kofi up into the Fade to Black! Rollins holds him for a moment before backing up towards the table!
{J.R.} Stop Seth! Don't---!!!
*Rollins drives Kofi through the table as the crowd boos, Rollins crawls with his elbows until he his nose to nose with Kofi the camera shows him mouthing "See you Sunday." Before he rolls from the ring and heads backstage while taunting the booing fans.
{J.R.} Just despicable.
{Cole} You say despicable, I say effective, he sent Kofi a message the last two weeks that this Sunday Kingston shouldn't even show up!
{King} J.R. I hate to agree with Cole but if I was a betting man, my money would be on Seth.
{J.R.} What about his match tonight?! He has to face Wade Barrett later on!
*The show fades to commercial as the announcers continue debating what they just witnessed.
The theme of Velvet Sky hits and she appears and heads to the ring. She graps a mic and begins to speak as the crowd boos
[Velvet]: So there has been a rumor going around that my former partner and friend was going to Dead Mans Hand to end me. Apparently she wants to try and shut me up but let me tell you she won’t be able to she has never been able to do it before. You see I carried her when we were the Beautiful People but did people ever see that? NO!
[Velvet]: People only seen what they wanted to see from her. They seen her as a fighting champ and not for what she really was a Failure. You see they gave her everything that I deserved. I should have gotten her title shots and I should have been champion but no they only looked past me. While I was winning matches she was losing them and sitting on the sidelines. How do you give anyone like that a chance for glory?
Velvet stops to think and then speaks again
[Velvet]: And Angelina asks why I did what I did. She asks why I left her to fend for herself. Why I attacked her over and over again and why I put her out of business. Well the answer to all of those is I felt like it. I felt like she thought I was nothing. That everyone thought I was nothing. No one seen the greatness and talent that I brought. I did everything to make her look good all she was going while I was winning the matches for us she was sitting in my corner looking pretty.
[Velvet]: So Angeline let me tell you what ill do for you Angelina. Ill give you one shot at redemption to beat me. And for your sake I hope you don’t because then a war will be waged. So if my new best friend would spin the wheel we will see what match will be chosen for your demise.
Madison Rayne appears on the tron and she spins the wheel
[Madison]: And here we go
A few seconds pass and the wheel begins to stop as Madison and Velvet start to smile then laugh.
[Velvet]: Angelina your best choice is to not show up because if you do you will be beat down. But if you do decide to show up I hope you bring everything you got because I am going to show you why I was the top diva. And why I deserved and should have been given everything that you were given. You will be beat down in one of the most brutal matches. A brutal match where a career can be ended with just a snap of your fingers. Because the match that the wheel has landed on…….
Velvet looks up and smiles again then looks down with and angry look
[Velvet]: FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE NO HOLDS BARRED IRON MAN MATCH
Velvet drops the mic and her theme begins to play as she heads to the back and fades to commercial

*Breakdown fades away from the arena to a pre-recorded message from Adam Cole*
Adam Cole Miss me? Who am I kidding of course you did, Now I haven't been seen in XWL since I was robbed of a victory against Carlito. That's a night I'm sure none of you have forgotten when your favourite superstar was cheated out of a win in his debut match for what's meant to be the world's premier company. I had Carlito down on the mat following a Florida Key suplex and what did the ref do? He took his time, He barely got there in time to verify the one count. What happens when Carlito goes for a pin? The referee's already counted the pin before I had even the slightest second to kick out. All because of one man with an agenda the greatest day in all of your lives was ruined, Your hopes for me to end Carlito were shattered right in front of your very eyes.
Adam Cole Fortunately for that ref I'm not here for some sort of vengeance, Oh no I'm here because I don't want to let my fans down. I don't want them to show up to an XWL live event and leave disappointed because they didn't see me. So really XWL should be kissing my feet right now for ensuring that their entire fan base doesn't just abandon them due to backstage politics. I know what you're all wondering, It's the same question everywhere I go, "Why aren't you at XWL events anymore?" Now I know Christmas is long gone, But I'm going to give you a little gift anyway I haven't been giving you the show that you all desire because XWL kept attempting to make me fight my way up the dregs. It doesn't work like that when you have such natural ability like me, It simply doesn't. I only face the best that the world has to offer.
Adam Cole That's why tonight will be only the second time you've seen me since I signed with XWL, But I'll get to that later. Right now I'm going to speak directly to the so called "top" stars in XWL, I'm issuing what is called an open challenge for Dead Man's Hand to any man backstage that thinks they can defeat Adam Cole on their best day. Not that it'll matter because now that I'm back for good, It's a whole different ball game. Even at your best none of you are even close to my level, That's like comparing a college team to a multi time super bowl winner. I'm just too good to be in the ring with most of this roster.
Adam Cole Now that I've taken care of that I think It's time for me to revisit what I mentioned about competing tonight. Tonight in the ring you'll be witnessing history, The return of Adam Cole to an XWL ring, This is a night you'll be telling your grandchildren about. Your hero myself will be taking on a man who's not been himself for quite some time, Antonio Cesaro, You may remember him from his disgraceful 5 minutes of fame after winning the United States championship. I remember him as the guy that over-reached, He was a champion and what did he do? He attempted to rise up to a level just under my own and was sent back down to reality by Chris Jericho who showed him why only the best are allowed to compete at my level. Tonight I'm going to put Antonio down permanently.
Normal Match Adam Cole vs. Antonio Cesaro
**The screen fades to the ring where we can already see Adam Cole and Antonio Cesaro about to start their match. The two men start out by circling around the ring before locking up in the centre, Cesaro looks to be gaining the advantage as the stronger of the two as he forces Cole into the corner. Cesaro lands a couple of shots to the exposed body of Cole before backing away to avoid a disqualification, Almost immediately Cesaro's straight back to the corner to land a few more blows this time to Cole's head. Once again he's sure to avoid the disqualification, He's goes back to the corner a third time, But this time Cole’s prepared and launches himself at Cesaro with a thunderous clothesline. Cole waits for Cesaro to get to his feet before hitting a beautiful dropkick, Knowing he's got momentum Cole quickly hoists Cesaro up into the air and powers him down with a suplex,
! : : 2 : Kick out! Cesaro managed to get his shoulder up before the three count could be administered. Cole whips Cesaro into the ropes, Duck down underneath him and gets hit with a big shoulder barge by Cesaro on the rebound. Cesaro drags Adam up to his feet before hitting him with a gutrench power bomb, Cesaro doesn't stop there however, He presses his attack hitting Cole with a couple of suplexes before going for the cover.
1 : : 2 : : Kick out! A look of frustration comes over Cesaro as he yanks Cole back up to his feet before putting him in position for a Neutraliser, He does his trademark gesture before linking his arms around Cole's leg and lifting him up... No! Cole managed to fit out of it with a back body drop at the last second, Cole wastes no time in hitting Cesaro with a power slam as Cesaro charged at him. Cole lifts Cesaro up for a suplex and hits him with a brain buster on his knee! Instead of going for the cover Cole ascends to the top rope perhaps looking to hit a splash, Just before he catapults himself at Cesaro a voice can be heard throughout the arena**
{{Bray Wyatt}} We are now in the ninth circle..
{{Bray Wyatt}} The circle of traitors, traitors to country, traitors to fellow man, traitors to god! And by the power invested in me by god I condemn you all to the ninth circle of hell… Unless…. You follow me to the gates of salvation. Unless you believe in me… I'm bound for the promise land, now who shall come with me?
**Back in the ring Antonio Cesaro is back on his feet, glaring up at the distracted Adam Cole! Adam notices that Cesaro is back up and quickly leaps at his opponent, looking to hit a flying double axe handle but instead lands right into a Very European Uppercut! Cesaro goes for the cover…1…..2…….3!!! Cesaro rolls out of the ring and celebrates as the ref slides out with him to hold his hand up in victory. Lillian Garcia announces Cesaro as your winner as Cole still lays knocked out in the middle of the ring.**
{{Bray Wyatt}} I just wish to do God's will. He's taken up the mountain, he's shown me the other side… I've seen the promised land with my own two eyes and I tell you this, it will always be on the other side of the wilderness. It is not easy to get to, there will be many trials, many complications, but in the end, you will find the one path, the only path, to true happiness. I know how to get to the promised land, I've been shown the path, and I'm here because I want to show all of you the way, I want to save you.
**Bray climbs the steps and enters the ring, kneeling down beside Adam Cole, who is groggily coming back around after that Very European Uppercut. Bray takes off his over shirt and hangs it on one of the ring posts, he then places his hat on top of that. He then begins to help Adam to his feet.**
{{Bray Wyatt}} I baptize you with hope for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
**Bray holds Adam by the shoulders to stop him from stumbling in his still dazed state.**
{{Bray Wyatt}} Adam Cole. You will be the first of many to be saved..
**Bray then quickly puts Cole in position to his a Reverse STO**
**Bray kisses Cole's forehead and then hits the Swinging Reverse STO!**
{{Bray Wyatt}} Those before me never were able to experience the promised land, they marched towards it, but were never be able to call it their home. They were the gateway, they were the vessel, they knew the way from here to salvation, but once their time here was done, their spirit moved on to another vessel. It is my time.. My turn to be the vessel, my destiny to be the gateway, I have been shown the way and it is my calling to show all of you the light. But when this body grows old, when this heart stops beating, my spirit won't move onto another vessel. No. Judgement day will arrive when my sprit shall rise. Your time for repentance is limited. Your gateway to eternity is here. Right here in this ring!! Walk with me! Believe in me! Be saved!!! Just as Adam has been saved..
{{Bray Wyatt}} Timeeee… is onnnn myyyy….siiddeee!
**Breakdown heads to a hype package for CM Punk with Bray Wyatt still standing over Adam Cole**

Normal Divas Match Paige W/ Layla vs. Nikki Bella W/ Brie
Breakdown returns from a commercial break as the theme of the Anti-Diva herself, Paige, begins to play throughout the arena to a mixture of cheers and boos.
Paige emerges from the backstage area, ready to go one on one with Nikki Bella, and with a look of determination on her face. She stands on the stage for a moments, soaking in the reaction from mixed crowd, scanning the live audience in attendance.
[Lillian Garcia]: The following match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, from Norwich, England, Paige!
{JR} The self professed Anti-Diva Paige is certainly a strong force in the Divas Division, she's always highly entertaining and widely impressive.
{King} Boy is she ever, Layla and Paige make a great team, they each have their own ability to get the job done in that ring alone, so when combined? It's as if their opponents have no chance in hell!
{Michael Cole} Well they are undefeated together, that certainly says something right there.
A nameplate reading, “Paige,” appears on the bottom of the screen for a few moments before it fades. Paige turns around and motions to the back, causing her partner and fellow Brit, Layla, to walk out from behind the curtain. They stand side by side and share a look before they begin their descent down the entrance ramp. Now at the bottom of the ramp, Paige walks around the side of the ring, before beginning to scale the apron, while Layla is shown arguing with a fan near the barricade.
Paige lets out a loud scream, reaching any and every corner of the arena and causing the crowd to react somewhat positively. She stands on the apron for a moment as Layla begins to make her way towards the announcers table.
{King} It looks like we're getting a guest!
{JR} Welcome Layla, we're glad to have you out here with us tonight.
Layla puts on her headset and takes a seat arrogantly smiling
{Layla} I know, but it's great to be here, thankfully The Bella Twins have allowed us to actually walk out here without getting introduced to the pavement, so it looks like it's going to be a good night.
{Michael Cole} What do you think about the recent announcement from the office of Vickie Guerrero?
{Layla} I'm thrilled, The Bella Twins need an actual team to shut them up, they might be sisters, but they just flat out suck when it comes to posing as a challenge to anybody.
{King} The issues between you all have certainly kicked up as of late.
She recomposes herself and begins to remove her signature jacket. With the jacket in her hands, she looks out to the crowd once more, not sure if she's getting a slight amount of cheers because they're fans of hers or they despise her opponent for the evening.
Paige tosses her jacket down onto the apron before entering the ring, letting out another scream as she makes her way to the other end of said ring. She locks eyes with the official for this match and begins mouthing something that can't be picked up on camera towards him. The ref just nods his head as Paige is shown pacing back and forth in the ring, while Layla is shown clapping her hands at the announcers table.
Paige stops in her tracks and looks out to the stage, awaiting the arrival of her opponent tonight, Nikki Bella. Her theme dies down as she still hasn't taken her eyes off of the stage, that is, until...
[Lillian Garcia]: And her opponent, from Scottsdale, Arizona, being accompanied by Brie Bella, Nikki Bella!
Out comes XWL's most devious duo, The Bella Twins, walking out in matching attires black attires. The twins come out to a chorus of boos and all they do is smirk at it, the negative reaction has never phased either diva. Brie and Nikki Bella stop at the top of the ramp and do their signature twirl.
{Michael Cole} There they are, Nikki, Paige's opponent here tonight, accompanied by her sister, who is hot off a victory against Mickie James just a little bit ago.
{Layla} Well apparently according to Mickie earlier, they're "good friends" so for all we know she lied down for her so she could get her first victory in like what, forever?
{JR} Speaking of victories you picked up quite the impressive one last week in triple threat action against Angelina Love and Brie Bella.
Nikki and Brie spin around and begin to walk down the ramp looking on at Paige and Layla, the two Brits they have been getting into altercations with for the past two weeks. Nikki, in particular, smiles as she sees Paige in the ring, as we all know why this match didn't exactly take place last week.
{Layla} I did, didn't I? A flawless victory, but did you expect anything less?
{King} I sure didn't, I've learned to never bet against you because you're always so full of surprises.
{Layla} Well you don't become the longest reigning Divas Champion in XWL history, along with a history making two time Diva of the Year without a lot of hard work and dedication. Dedication that The Bella Twins lack, I mean seriously, they got at least a million shots against Kaitlyn and screwed up every single one of them, where as someone like myself didn't even get one. It's only fair that I got a legitimate rematch for my title, which because I chose to do the right thing at The Slammy's I didn't get.
The twins hop up on the apron and staredown at the competition, tonight Nikki is looking to take Nikki out of comission. Brie and Nikki pose in the middle of the apron before flipping over into the ring.
{JR} I'm sure you will in due time Layla.
{Layla} But there's no reason that I haven't gotten it. I was fair to Kaitlyn, I stopped twin magic from ruining her moment, and I feel like I got the short end of the stick. The Bellas however could seemingly get never ending shots and I couldn't even get one.
{Michael Cole} Speaking of The Bellas it looks like Brie's eyeing you over here.
{Layla} She's just in awe of what a true woman looks like, I mean she can't exactly look at her sister anymore and say the name now can she?
{King} Actually from the looks of things I think Brie's considering joining us over here too.
The devious twins look like they're about to start trouble with Layla and Paige, however, the referee warns them not to do. The referee backs Nikki and Brie back into the opposite corner where Brie rolls out and heads over to commentary while Nikki begins to stretch a bit, eyeing her opponent with a straight face.
{JR} Ladies and gentlemen it looks like we'll be joined by Brie as well during this match, welcome.
{Layla} Yes welcome, we're so thrilled to have you.
{Brie Bella} Oh I know you're thrilled, you don't have to tell me that.
{Michael Cole} Any predictions for this match before the bell sounds ladies?
At the same both ladies reply in an arrogantly confident tone.
{Layla} Paige, duh!
{Brie Bella} Nikki, duh!
Again the two reply almost exactly at the same time once more, this time in a "are you kidding me" type tone.
{Layla} Excuse me, Nikki?
{Brie Bella} Excuse me, Paige?
{King} Ladies please, don't fight, they both have an equal chance of winning.
Brie and Layla let out a "WHAT?!" at the same time that causes them to glare in the other's direction.
{Layla} Stop interrupting me, okay?
{Brie Bella} Oh will you just shut up already? You're the one interrupting me, try turning up your hearing aid grandma.
{JR} Uh.....and there goes the bell!
The bell rings as Paige and Nikki Bella staredown at each other, you can see the disdain both divas have for each other. The two don't even bother locking up, Paige and Nikki charge at each other, grabbing each other by the hair and dropping to the floor. The referee tries to break it up but he isn't able to and both divas roll to the outside. Nikki Bella is the first to her feet and drags Paige up by her hair. She slams Paige's face right onto the apron about three times before Paige blocks the fourth slam with three elbows to the midsection. Paige takes Nikki by the back of the head, grabbing a handful of hair, and tosses her into the barricade. The official has yet to start the count despite the match actually starting and screams at Paige to bring it back into the ring.
{JR} These two ladies are just going at it, Nikki and Paige are really at each other's throats.
{King} Neither diva even bothered trying to lock up, it's obvious that these two don't like each other.
{Michael Cole} It's certainly a catfight out there tonight, I'm sure we'll see a lot of scratching and clawing.
{Brie Bella} Why is Paige such a savage? She's trying to injure my sister and Nikki has done nothing to be on Paige's bad side.
{Layla} Are you stupid? Let me answer my own question, I think you are. Let me guess, next you're going to say you're innocent too.
{Brie Bella} How'd you know? At least you found your talent, it's really heart-wrenching to see you try to wrestle. How do you get away with it?
{Layla} The same way Nikki gets away with those inflated balloons.
{King} I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Nikki got "larger".
{Michael Cole} Way to be mature, King.
Paige picks Nikki up and tosses her under the bottom rope and back into the ring. The Anti-Diva slides under the ring and as Nikki gets up, she takes her down with a clothesline, followed by another clothesline, and she finally takes Nikki down with a scoop slam to the mat. Paige hops on top of Nikki and starts slamming Nikki's head onto the mat as the referee counts for her to get up. The referee reaches four before actually backing Paige off of Nikki in interest of keeping the match going. Paige comes back to attack Nikki but Nikki pokes Paige right in the eye and small packages Paige. . .
{Layla} Are you kidding me? Try doing your job for a change ref, last I checked poking someone in the eye is against the rules.
{Brie Bella} You'd know wouldn't you, Layla? Have you ever followed a single rule in your life? Your long, ancient, prehistoric life?
1!
Kickout by Paige.
{King} And Paige stays in this!
{Layla} You act surprised, what moron would root against her?
{Brie Bella} Uh...
{Layla} Oh right, you.
{Brie Bella} The only moron around here is you, Nikki's got this in the bag. Your little friend Casper doesn't stand a chance.
{Michael Cole} We do have a match going on...
{Brie Bella} Let's be honest, my amazingly talented sister is facing that thing called Paige, it's hardly a match.
{JR} It looks quite close to me, I don't think you're giving Paige enough credit.
{Layla} Thank you JR, some people just don't know talent when you see it.
{Brie Bella} You have to actually have talent to see it, Layla.
{Layla} I'm glad that you finally admitted it, the first step in ridding yourself of delusion is coming to terms with it, maybe next you'll realize that you're far from a "wrestler" and more so just a waste of space that needs to just go away.
Paige springs up and Nikki kicks her in the gut followed by slamming her down to the mat by her hair. Paige rolls around on the ground holding her head and Nikki takes the back of Paige's head and rubs her face into the mat as the referee begins to count. She eventually lets go but begins to hit Paige in the back with axe handles and all types of strikes to the backs. Nikki Bella picks up Paige and irish whips her into the turnbuckle. She charges towards the Anti Diva, hops up on the middle rope, screams, possibly trying to imitate Paige and hits a monkey flip on Paige, sending her flying to near the center of the ring. Nikki walks over and puts her foot right on the chest of Paige to get the cover, showing no respect to her opponent. . .
1!
T. . .
{Michael Cole} Kickout by Paige at the two count.
{King} How disrespectful of Nikki? Putting her foot on Paige to get the cover, have some class.
{Brie Bella} Aw man, Nikki almost had her there with the beautiful, one-of-a-kind, Bella Monkey Flip. And correction King, she put her foot on Casper. Divas like Paige don't even deserve respect, she could've earned my respect but then she went ahead and aligned herself with a useless hag named Layla.
{JR} I believe Paige deserves respect, she's a top class athlete all the way from Great Britian.
{Brie Bella} Siding with the underdog? Typical JR. I'm not surprised at all.
{Layla} Underdog? I highly doubt it. It's because women like Paige and I that women's wrestling is a huge attraction. Divas like you and Nikki have caused continous riducule of women's wrestling every time you step in the ring, it's sad to see what we slowly built to be destroyed by wannabe wrestlers. And if anyone is any type of dog here, it's you. You're nothing but a annoying mutt.
{Brie Bella} You're so lucky that I don't get up and slap you so hard. Have some class, some champ you were.
{Layla} A much better champ than you were, my seven months were far better than your pathetic seven days.
{Brie Bella} Ha, so funny, I mean at least Beth didn't have me crying, saying "I QUIT! I QUIT" and I actually beat her when it mattered.
{Michael Cole} Ladies, ladies, please, let's get back to the action.
{JR} We're going to need a much bigger knife to cut this tension.
Paige kicks out yet again. Nikki Bella looks on at the referee, telling him that next time, he should count faster so that she can go about her business. Nikki takes Paige up by her hair and looks on at her, shaking her head. She holds Paige's jaw and suddenly, Nikki hits her with a thunderous slap to the face with, which seemingly ignites a fire in Paige. The Anti-Diva starts firing away with forearms to the face of Nikki backing her all the way into the rope. She slingshots the Bella off of the rope and hits Nikki with a dropkick to the side of the face. Paige crawls over to Nikki to get the cover. . .
1!
2!
Kickout by Nikki Bella.
{Layla} Aw, Nikki's so courageous, that or incredibly stupid....No, I think I'll go with stupid, she should stay down, don't prolong the embarrassment sweetie.
{Brie Bella} The only thing sweet will be the look on your face when Paige loses, like you both will this Sunday. You're facing a real tag-team, and you really don't stand a chance.
{Layla} Unlike you and your "real" tag-team, Paige and I have yet to be defeated together, and that won't change after Dead Man's Hand.
{Brie Bella} Aw, that's adorable, I didn't think it was this possible to be so full of delusion.
{Layla} I said the same thing about saline when I saw Nikki come out tonight.
Paige waste no time to pick Nikki up and hits her with a fisherman suplex. Nikki Bella rolls over in pain all the way to the bottom turnbuckle corner to recover just a bit. Paige backs all the way up to the opposing turnbuckle, charges at Nikki and hits a corner dropkick to the midsection of Nikki, who rolls out the ring before Paige can do more damage. Paige follows her out of the ring but it seems like Nikki is making her way under the ring.
{JR} Looks like Nikki's trying to get away from Paige.
{Layla} Can't wait to hear your excuse for her now, Brie.
{Brie Bella} Excuse? Clearly she's trying to run away from the stench Paige has been letting out since we came out here. Seriously, has the girl never heard of a little thing called deodorant? Is she anti-hygiene as well?
{Layla} Wow, how long did it take you to think of that one?
{Brie Bella} Three seconds, the same amount of time it'll take to beat you both Sunday.
{King} Paige is in hot pursuit of Nikki.
{Michael Cole} Run Nikki run!
{Layla} Excuse me?
{Michael Cole} Er, I mean....get her Paige, get her!
{JR} Cole's head is liable to spin off if he keeps flipping sides like this.
The Anti Diva attempts to stop her from going under but Nikki pushes her off which causes her to drop to the ground. Paige gets back to her feet and looks under the ring but can't find Nikki, it's too dark over there. The referee is up the 3 count and still no sign of Nikki so Paige walks over to Brie and screams at her "Where is she?"
{Brie Bella} Oh, let me take a guess, she's under the ring. I mean, where else could she be Casper?
{Layla} Typical Bella smart ass, it's obvious Paige that Nikki is too scared to fight, go back in the ring and get the count out victory.
{Brie Bella} Taking the cheap way out, cute. I'm sure she isn't hiding, she's probably waiting to strike at the right time.
{Layla} Excuse after excuse, pack it up sweetheart.
As Brie stares at Paige, out of nowhere, Nikki comes up from behind, takes Paige's head and slams it down on the commentator's table. Nikki slams it again before tossing Paige back into the ring and going for the cover. . .
{JR} Nikki Bella sneaks up from behind and slams Paige's head right on the table. Her head must be in serious pain.
{Layla} Cheap tactics! C'mon! Is this what we do now? I thought we fought with honor in this company.
{King} Apparently not Nikki Bella.
{Brie Bella} Who exactly told Paige to turn her back on Nikki? No one, stop complaining. If Paige really wanted to win. . .well, she couldn't. I'm hoping Nikki finishes Paige off in a few minutes, we got dinner reservations in a couple of hours.
{Layla} If anyone is being finished, it's Nikki, she just can't beat Paige tonight, it's not possible.
{Brie Bella} Do you have to respond to everything I have to say, damn?
{Layla} Grow up, seriously, sorry gentlemen, seems like someone doesn't know how to carry themselves as a lady, it's sad.
{Michael Cole} It's obvious you two don't like each other, how about we get back to the action?
1!
2!
Th. . . Kickout by Paige, it's just not enough to keep her down, certainly Nikki will have to work harder. Nikki begins taunting the live crowd while showing how much of a threat she sees Paige as by lightly kicking her repeatedly. Nikki's laugh fills the air, until the boos begin to rain down into the ring. She doesn't seem to care as Brie is shown clapping at the announcers table, while Layla is shown temporarily removing her headset and begins shouting out words of encouragement to her fellow Brit. Nikki's cocky attitude gets the best of her when she goes for another kick, only for Paige to catch it as an expression of anger fills her face. Paige slowly makes it up to her feet, while still holding on to Nikki's leg, and her angered expression is quickly replaced with a devilish smirk, as she is fully aware that she has Nikki right where she wants her.
Nikki begins to swing her arms forward, hoping that her arm can connect with Paige's face to break her grip, but to no avail. Out of desperation, Nikki jumps up into the air and attempts to connect with an Enziguri to the back of Paige's head, but she sees it coming and manages to avoid contact while also sending Nikki face first into the canvas. Paige quickly follows up by lifting Nikki into the air by her foot, not giving her a moment to compose herself, and forcefully slams Nikki's knee into the mat, causing the twin to let out a yell of pain.
{King} Nikki got a little bit too cocky there and now the momentum has shifted. Now, Paige is just going after that knee, how much more punishment can Nikki endure?
{JR} It's only a matter of time before someone calls it quits.
{Michael Cole} Don't count Nikki out just yet, she's still in this for sure.
{Brie Bella} I have a question Layla.
{Layla} Ugh, what is it?
{Brie Bella} Do you condone of this? Paige smashing my sister's knee into the mat. Aren't you the same diva who had her knee surgically repaired? Hypocrite.
{Layla} You mean the same knee you and countless others try to attack at every given chance because you lack the skill to actually beat me legitamately without exploiting that? Who's really the hypocirite here, Brie? Besides, what's another surgery to Nikki, she's had like what, at least a dozen for her face alone?
{Brie Bella} You didn't answer my question, but it's okay, dodge my questions just like you dodged Beth Phoenix. Cool.
A smirk comes across Paige's face once more and while still having a tight grip on Nikki's foot, she repeats what she just did, sending Nikki knee first into the canvas. The look on Nikki's face says it all, pain etched in her eyes. Paige goes for the maneuver once more, but this time, Nikki is able to shift her weight and lands on her back before landing desperation kick on Paige's jaw, causing her to stumble backwards and release the hold. Nikki struggles to make it back to her feet but Paige is having none of it. The second that Nikki stands, she is tackled out of the ring by Paige, sending both women crashing hard into the thin padding on the outside.
Neither woman seems to have gotten the worst end of that move as both women are still left laying on the outside. Both women begin showing signs of life almost simultaneously, with Nikki still favoring her leg, while Paige is shown favoring her left arm. Paige crawls over to the ropes to lift herself up off the floor, as Nikki opts to use the announcers table as leverage. Paige, somehow, is the first to her feet, and unbeknownst to Nikki, Paige has already begun making her way towards her opponent for the evening.
{Brie Bella} She's coming right for you, Nikki!
{Layla} No she's not, take your time, catch your breath, don't worry about a thing.
{Brie Bella} Hey! Quit distracting her.
{Layla} You're the one running your mouth.
{Brie Bella} Really now? I can barely get a word in edge wise.
Brie tries to motion to Nikki that Paige is just mere feet from her, but before Nikki could put the pieces together, Paige has already grabbed a handful of Nikki's hair and begun slamming her face first into the announcers table. Paige shouts out, “How did you like that, Brie?” causing Brie to stop herself from lunging forward and ending the match in a disqualification. A short staredown takes place between both woman before Paige shouts at Brie with a smirk on her face, “That's what I thought,” before she throws Nikki back into the ring, breaking the refs count at six.
{Brie Bella} Can you believe her? She has some nerve talking to me like that...If I weren't busy adding grace and intelligence on commentary I'd give her a piece of my mind.
{Layla} I think you've already given too much of that away.
{King} Paige is going for the pin, this could be it!
Paige enters the ring, and quickly goes for a pinfall attempt.
1...
2...
Kickout!
{JR} But it's not, Nikki somehow manages to stay in this one, but can she fight back to regain control?
{Brie Bella} Can she? The question is when, and that's now.
{Layla} He didn't ask when she'd lose, but that's great of you to be so honest.
{Brie Bella} Listen here you little fossil...
{Layla} Oh, another joke about my age, my aren't you consistent?
Nikki manages to get her shoulder up off the mat before the three count, forcing the match to continue. Paige begins stalking a slowly rising Nikki Bella, but what does she have in mind for one of the divas that stopped her from becoming the Number One Contender to the Divas Championship? Nikki makes it to her feet and turns around, barely managing to duck a huge side kick from Paige. Nikki quickly follows up with a gut kick, doubling over the Anti-Diva, and takes two handfuls of Paige's hair, possibly setting up the Bella Buster, the infamous finishing maneuver of the Bella Twins. Paige is able to spin out of it and sets herself and Nikki up perfectly into a Paige Turner setup. Before Paige can connect, Nikki breaks out of Paige's grip and hops up towards her, hoping to hit a jumping snapmare.
{Michael Cole} Oh! What's this Nikki's going for something, could this be it?
{Brie Bella} It's called a snapmare, Cole. Shouldn't you know that?
{Layla} The fact that Brie knows that should be enough to make you wanna slap yourself in the face for screwing up that one...
Using all her strength, Paige stops herself from falling forward and instead moves Nikki's body into perfect position for a fallaway slam. Nikki begins unloading a series of elbows to Paige's jaw, causing her to release the hold. She lands on her feet and once again goes for the Bella Buster, but Paige quickly breaks Nikki's grip and lands a gut kick of her own. Paige lifts Nikki up into the air, hoping to hit RamPaige on her rival. Nikki is able to land a few forearms to Paige's exposed abdomen and stops herself from going face first into the canvas. Now with both on their feet and mere inches from one another, both women seemingly have the same idea, a jaw shattering slap to the other. Both women are sent stumbling backwards and engage in a heated staredown while holding their respective jaws.
{Brie Bella} Don't just stand there, do something Nikki!
{Layla} And what exactly should she do? Fail at winning some more? She just needs to lie down and maybe Paige will go easy on her, though she's still pretty ticked off about your little attack on us last week, so the chances of that happening are about the same as the chance that you'll leave this announce table without going through it....and those aren't very good odds for you either my dear.
{Brie Bella} Can you believe this, King? She's threatening me, so much for having class...
{King} Calm down ladies, we don't want things getting out of control, no one's going through this table.
{Layla} Yeah Brie don't worry about a thing...OH MY GOD WHO'S THAT BEHIND YOU?!
Brie quickly spins around in her chair in a instant, worried for what Layla's sudden warning means, but then turns around glaring at a laughing Layla, having been fooled by her foe.
{Michael Cole} That wasn't very nice, Layla.
{Layla} You're right, I'm sorry Brie, think you can forgive me? It'd mean the world if we could just be friends...
{Brie Bella} Save it for someone who cares, I thought some stupid fan was trying to grab my hair or something, hands off losers...
{JR} Anyways let's turn our attention back to the action inside the ring, and hopefully our guests here can try to get along for the rest of this match.
{Layla} Can we, Brie? Can't we all just get along?
{Brie Bella} Bite me.
{Layla} Sorry I don't wanna catch something.
Nikki walks over to Paige, stares her down with an "L" placed at her forehead, and gives Paige one more jaw shattering slap to her face. Nikki laughs as the crowd boos but Paige isn't having it, she goes charging after Nikki, following her all the way to the turnbuckle corner. The Anti-Diva goes to attack Nikki but the official backs her out of the corner so that the match can resume fairly. However, Paige refuses to listen to his orders. She walks over to Nikki Bella but halfway, Nikki trips Paige with her feet causing her to crash into the middle turnbuckle and Nikki goes for the roll up. . .
1!
2!
Kickout! {Brie Bella} Darn it! Almost had her there. Why is Paige still kicking out still?
{Layla} Sorry she isn't like the usual competition that you face.
{JR} Paige was lured into that one, she should've seen it coming by now. Paige kicks out of the roll up but is immediately stopped with a kick to the gut by Nikki. Nikki Bella climbs up on the turnbuckle, possibly looking to hit a flying crossbody from the top rope. Nikki jumps off and hits a crossbody on Paige, however Paige is able to roll over and counter it into the RamPaige. Paige has her in the perfect spot to end this match right now. Nikki continously hits the head of Paige to break free and as of now, Paige has Nikki in a bear hug position. Nikki takes the head of Paige and with all her might, she plants Paige with a huge DDT, causing Paige to flip over and land close to the ropes. Nikki crawls over slowly but surely trying to secure the victory. . .
{King} Woah!
{Michael Cole} What a D-D-T by Nikki Bella!
{Brie Bella} Crawl faster Nikki, you can do it, get the cover!
{Layla} Get up Paige, get up. We can't let unskillfull divas like Nikki beat you in this ring, you got to get up.
{JR} Paige might just be out of it and Nikki needs to capitalize at this point, it's now or never.
1!
2!
Thr. . . {Layla} YES!
{Brie Bella} NO!
{King} She gets her foot on the ropes!
{JR} Certainly, the majority of us thought that Paige didn't have an ounce of fight left in her, but she certainly proved us wrong.
No! Paige gets her foot on the ropes and the referee sees it. Nikki argues with the referee while still covering Paige saying "It was a three count!". Nikki slaps Paige's foot off the rope and attempts to cover again but Paige kicks out immeadiately. Nikki picks up Paige and places her on the middle rope. She steps up on the back of the Anti-Diva and uses the ropes as leverage to choke out Paige as the referee starts to count. Nikki Bella eventually lets go after the 4 count and the referee warns her of disqualification but she goes back at it, choking Paige. The referee pulls Nikki off at the 4 count instead of warning her, he instructs her that if she chooses to perform the move again, he will disqualify her. Nikki rolls under the bottom rope and gets in Paige's face, she taunts her lifeless body, knowing that Paige won't react, well at least for now. The Bella walks over to the announcer table and gets close to Layla, who doesn't want to risk disqualification. She bows in front of the Flawless diva before going over to high five her twin sister.
{JR} Nikki chokes Paige out and little by little, the life is being sucked out of her, how long can she keep going?
{King} And now Nikki wants a word with Layla.
{Michael Cole} It seems as if she's trying to mock you Layla, any thoughts?
{Layla} No kidding, Cole. Nikki, it's obvious you want to be like me, you despise every thing I achieved, you might even be jelaous of the little achievement that your sister has achieved too. It's sad, no one can ever be like me, often imitated, never duplicated sweetheart.
{Brie Bella} I think she's actually trying to show you how foolish you are, that's all there is to it. Shut up Layla, your head is so far up your ass.
The referee counts seven and this is Nikki's cue to get back into the ring, she's done enough taunting. Nikki Bella walks over to Paige and drags her to the center of the ring. She puts Paige in a seated position, gets on the ground, and applies a body scissors, appying a lot of pressure to the abdomen of Paige. The referee asks Paige if she's ready to give up but Paige says no. The Anti-Diva uses all her might to get close to the ropes as Nikki tries to apply more pressure, she gets close but this only allows Nikki to grab the ropes for more leverage. The referee catches her and begins to count but Nikki releases on the three count. Nikki soon shifts the pressure from Paige's abdomen to her face as she locks on a head scissors on Paige. The atmosphere in the crowd is certainly a negative one towards Nikki Bella and she obviously doesn't care, she laughs it off. Nikki Bella lifts her body up with her hands and drops her body down, banging the head of Paige against the mat.
{Layla} Come on, Paige! You got this!
{JR} She's going to have quite the headache after this is over.
{Brie Bella} Aw, does baby have a boo boo? I thought she was supposed to be tough? What a joke.
{Layla} Are you still talking? Just shut up already, no one cares about what you have to say, because it's all garbage.
{Brie Bella} You would know, how was catering last week, Layla?
{Layla} How did my boots taste when they kicked your teeth down your throat after Angelina speared your skanky ass off the apron?
{Brie Bella} You would get someone else do your dirty work for you, how typical...
{Layla} Says the woman that tried to pin her after I taken her out of the equation.
{Brie Bella} No one cares about your little victory last week, I beat Mickie earlier, what did you do tonight? Did you win your battle with catering or did it kick your ass again?
Nikki crawls off of Paige arrogantly letting go of her grip, she looks over to Layla and her sister on commentary, waves at the both of them to which Layla rolls her eyes at, and Brie smiles proudly. Nikki then points to the referee and covers Paige...
1!
2!
No! Paige gets her shoulder up!
{Michael Cole} Paige is still in it, the anti-diva just won't give up, and you have to admire that.
{Layla} That's why we're such a great team, we don't lie down for anybody, shame you two can't say the same, huh Brie? I mean how else are you still employed?
{Brie Bella} You're lucky I don't jump across this table and knock you out.
{Layla} I would LOVE to see you try, honey. Bring it on, bring it on.
Nikki immediately grabs hold of her applying a modified abdominal stretch from the ground position. Paige refuses to tap though despite Nikki ordering her to, she holds her arm out trying to fight free, the fans begin to clap and stomp their feet on the floor, clearly she's the favorite in this exchange, but it's no use, Nikki keeps putting on the pressure and tightening her grip every so often.
{King} Girls please, there's a match going on.
{Layla} Tell her that, she's the one running her mouth the entire time, we're trying to watch a match, and your annoying voice is ruining it, so why don't you just go over there and watch my friend kick your sister's ass.
{Brie Bella} I'm running my mouth? Wow, that's rich! You're all talk Layla, and that's all you've done tonight.
{JR} You're both talking an awful lot...we can barely keep track what's going on with what's going on over here.
The referee asks Paige again if she gives up, but instead of responding she starts kicking up her leg catching Nikki across the temple with several raised knee shots, Nikki struggles to keep the hold, she manages to for a little while longer, but after one final shot, Paige breaks free and collapses on her hands and knees trying to recover, while Nikki is left holding her face, giving Paige a temporary opening.
{King} Paige is free! This could be the opening she's needed to get back in this, Nikki might have gotten kicked too hard there, she's favoring her face.
{Brie Bella} Are you okay, Nikki?!
{Michael Cole} She doesn't look to be in the best shape, she's quite dazed from those kicks.
{Layla} Don't worry Brie, it'll all be over soon. This is it, Paige! Finish her!
{Brie Bella} Nikki watch out!
Paige scrambles to her feet, taking advantage of the opening she's given herself, and walks towards a rising Nikki Bella, who's still holding her jaw. Nikki tries to go for one more slap on the Anti-Diva, but Paige sees it coming from a mile away and ducks it before following up with a short arm clothesline, leveling one of the twins. Nikki quickly rises back up, only to be dropped with a second clothesline. Paige goes for a third when Nikki makes it back to her feet, but she's able to duck it, and makes a beeline towards the ropes behind Paige. She rebounds off of them with as much momentum as she can muster, before launching herself into the air with a huge crossbody. It's able to drop Paige down to the mat, but the Anti-Diva is able to use Nikki's momentum against her, and rolls flawlessly through the move, making it back to her feet with Nikki in her arms. Nikki tries to struggle out of it but to no avail, Paige uses as much strength as her body would allow to throw Nikki halfway across the ring with a huge fallaway slam.
{JR} What a beautiful slam by Paige, things don't look good for Nikki.
{Layla} No, they sure don't...isn't it just wonderful? What do you have to say now, Brie?
{Brie Bella} I can't watch this anymore...I need to check on my sister.
{Layla} Get ready to console her because she's about to lose.
Brie throws her headset down after removing it then walks closer to the ring, looking concerned about her sister's chances.
{King} Well Layla it looks like Paige is about to end it.
{Layla} I knew she would, I don't team with just anyone, she's a hell of a talent and I'm proud to call her my partner.
With the momentum now in Paige's corner, she lets out a loud scream, possibly signaling that the end of the match is drawing near. She wastes no time walking over to the fallen Bella, but the ref stops her in her tracks, as he's checking on Nikki. Paige tries to attack Nikki while she's down but the ref is having none of it. He motions to Paige, telling her to step back but she refuses to.
{Layla} What are you doing ref?! Oh my god he's trying to screw her out of this match, when will the hatred towards the Brits end? She's got this, let her end it ref.
With Paige and the ref seemingly arguing, Brie sees an opening and quickly makes her way even closer towards her sister, possibly with Twin Magic, an infamous move used by the Bella Twins, in mind.
{JR} What? What's Brie doing?
{Layla} Are you freaking kidding me?! Oh hell no they're not about to pull that crap in front of me!
Layla sees Brie running to grab Nikki, to pull her out to do twin magic, and jumps out of her seat, slamming her headset on the ground charging over to Brie just as fast as she can. Layla hits Brie across her back with a forearm shot, sending Brie to the floor. Nikki notices what's going on and slides out of the ring, to aid her sister. Nikki begins landing a few forearms on her own on Layla, before pushing her back first into the barricade. Paige shifts her attention to what's going on outside the ring, and quickly makes her way to Layla, to aid her fellow Brit. Paige slides out of the ring and lands a swift kick to Nikki's lower back, before throwing her to the padding on the outside by her hair.
{King} Things are breaking down, The Bella Twins just tried Twin Magic but Layla put a stop to it!
{Michael Cole} Was it really her place to do that though? She's supposed to be our guest on commentary, not Paige's guard dog.
{JR} Brie was supposed to be our guest too, Cole.
{King} Layla was just itching for a reason to get her hands on Brie after their never ending banter here on commentary for this match, and she got a damn good when Brie tried to take Nikki's place.
Before Paige can react, Brie has made it back to her feet and lands a swift gut kick on Paige, before sending her shoulder first into the steel ring steps. The ref tries to restore order but to no avail, he's forced to call for the bell, ending this match in a no contest.
{JR} The referee's thrown this match out! These four ladies are out of control!
{Michael Cole} Here comes more referees to try to restore order to the situation.
{King} Good luck with that, they're tearing each other apart.
One referee grabs Layla yanking her off of Brie stopping her from pounding her head against the floor any longer, two more get in between Paige and Nikki as they were in the middle of trading shots near the barricade, they try to restrain all of the ladies involved but a loud "LET THEM FIGHT!" chant breaks out. The fans wanna see this action continue, but the referees are doing everything to prevent that from happening. Layla and Paige get pulled off towards the announce table's direction, while The Bellas are directed over to the ramp. They keep shouting at one another, threatening each other and screaming for the referee's to let them go but to no avail.
{JR} The fans wanted a fight but they'll have to wait until this Sunday when these two teams collide in tag-team action for the first time ever. They've all had some kind of match interaction in the past, but at Dead Man's Hand they'll finally face off in pairs, and the emotions are certainly high with these four ladies.
{King} You ain't kidding, JR. Just hearing Layla and Brie argue the entire time told us that and then some.
{Michael Cole} They don't like each other one bit, and in just a few short days they'll finally be let loose free to do whatever they like, and I have no idea who will come out on top.
{JR} No one does, but we'll find out Sunday, only one team can come out on top, so the question is will it be the Brits who have adapted a powerful bond recently, or will blood prove to be superior in favor of the actual sisters in this, The Bella Twins?
With that last question we fade out from the sight of these two teams still arguing from across the ringside area, and to a commercial break.

XWL fans are happily enjoying the interval patiently waiting for the next match to begin and instead they are greeted by the sight of CM Punk appearing on the titantron and they instantly begin boo'ing.
Many people are still divided between both Christian and CM Punk, they still don't know whether they should be cheering one of them so amongst the boos a few random cheers can be heard for the Straight Edge Savior but they seem to die out quickly.
[[Punk]]:: For the last couple of weeks I have found myself to be stuck inside a little vicious circle with Christian, so I have decided to make a little change in routine. As you can probably see, my colleague and good friend Paul Heyman isn’t with me this evening and that is because he is out doing research to try and break this mundane rut with have found ourselves in. I don’t know about you, but I wanted to spice things up a little so this week you won’t be seeing me stating Christian is trying to hard to be the bad guy, Christian trying to rebut by attacking me only for it to fail and me spending the better part of my day bouncing his head off of a commentators table and while I do enjoy that thoroughly there needs to be a little something more. Last week Christian found out first hand what I can do to him on a physical level, but winning matches isn’t just about physicality, come Dead Man’s Hand Christian will be defeated before he steps one foot inside that ring because I’m going to show you all the damage I can do on a mental level.
[[Punk]]:: You see for months Christian has been walking around here with an apparent chip on his shoulder and he strives so hard to be the bad guy but to me it just doesn’t come off right, it doesn’t seem natural it seems forced to try and make himself stand out from the pack and I’m one for doing what you’re good at and what Christian is good at is hiding behind Edge, making bad jokes and posing for five seconds. That is the Christian we know, that is the Christian many of you loved but this new edgy Christian just doesn’t meet the standard and that’s exactly why, it’s “Edge-y”, he’s trying to be somebody he’s not, he is trying to be Edge because it worked so well for him but the only problem is we’ve seen it all before, he doesn’t do it nearly as well and his version just comes off as a whiny bitch. But I know what you’re thinking, I don’t have any proof to back up my claims, this could be the new Christian and we just have to accept that fact but I say no and that is why I sent out my good friend Paul Heyman to do some research on the subject.
[[Punk]]:: The original idea was to find Christian’s friends and people who know him well and find out what they had to say about Captain Charisma, has their relationship been drastically altered by this new mindset of his or is it really just a façade for the cameras? I wanted to go to the root of the problem, I wanted to ask anybody I could find from Edge, to the Hardy’s, to Rhino and anyone that has ever came into contact with Christian in their lifetime and know him well enough to be able to comment on the kind of questions that we would really like to see answered. That was the plan, but then Paul and I realised how much time and effort that would require, that would mean tracking down a lot of people to just hope they would talk to us and just pray that we could get everything together in time for this show, so we went with a much more satisfying option. Instead of asking your friends, we decided to go and ask someone who knows you on a more personal level than anybody else in the World… So we decided to go find out what your wife had to say on the matter. Who else knows you better than the person who devoted their life to you, who else knows more dirty secrets than the person that handles the dirty laundry, I know you’re going to hate me for saying it but she is the perfect option, she is the perfect one to ask and now what I want to do is cut live to my good friend Paul Heyman to an undisclosed location but I have a feeling that you’re going to recognise it Christian…
The camera fades into static and quickly cuts to what seems to be a handheld camera. Nothing can be made out from the image, everything is a bit out of focus but slowly the picture starts to improve, the image starts to become clearer until you can clearly make out a window. The image shakes as the cameraman walks through the shrubs to get a closer shot, to try and capture whatever he is trying to catch on film.
The shot rocks back and forth as the person moves closer to the window in attempt to peer through to the other side, the cameraman moves slowly, becoming closer and closer to the window until the camera can see into what appears to be a bathroom. A blonde woman walks into the room and begins to tidy, unaware that there is a person behind her with a camera, filming every second of it and broadcasting it for the World to see.
The woman continues unbeknownst that the cameraman is still filming behind her, she begins to check her appearance in the mirror, she then applies some make up and begins to fix her hair, the camera then cuts back to XWL to CM Punk.
[[Punk]]:: Wow, Christian, I must say I never knew you had it in you. I’m in an odd situation because I suddenly feel quite proud of you, your wife she’s… She’s definitely something alright, you’re a lucky guy, that’s all I can say. The things I would do given half the chance… I am of course just giving a compliment where I feel it is necessary, your wife is of course a very beautiful woman, no disrespect intended.
The camera cuts back to the footage and now the camera is positioned outside of what appears to be a bedroom, Christian’s wife then begins to tidy the room, she fixes the duvet and begins to fluff the pillows before placing them back at the head of the bed. The camera zooms in up close to get a better view of Christian’s wife, instead of trying to see what she is doing the camera seems to be focusing more on her body, her head is rarely in shot and the cameraman seems intent on keeping the body in the shot as much as possible, the woman heads through a door back into the bathroom, the sound of running water can faintly be heard from a distance and the wife walks back into the room and begins to lift her shirt at which point the camera turns to static. This continues for a few moments until finally the picture returns but the scenery is different, a bright light shines at the camera is it tries to focus on the surroundings and as the picture comes into focus you can see that the cameraman has returned to the bathroom window but it’s not as clear, the room is foggy from the steam from the shower but as the camera pans you can faintly see the wife in a towel walking into the shower, she adjusts the towel before drop…. The camera again fades to static and returns to CM Punk.
[[Punk]]:: It’s a shame, it really is. You come to these shows week after week and you bitch and moan about the opportunities you don’t have, the opportunities that you aren’t afforded and that the likes of Vickie Guerrero and Ever Torres are trying their very best to hold you back and keep you from getting chances so you can never truly step out of the shadow and into the spotlight where you feel you deserve, all while this precious, beautiful woman is sitting at home all alone and you never truly know who could be watching… I had no intention of asking your wife any questions, my sole intention was an invasion of your private and personal affairs, you see so many people these days are so strung up on the idea that brawn gives you the advantage and if people don’t possess physical power they rely on weapons or a simple little briefcase to get the job done and while its short term effect may be good, the long term effect quails in comparison to your mental state of mind coming into a match. If you are just a little off edge when you step into that ring, then the match is already over and let me tell you something, if somebody had just filmed my wife in her most private moments then I would be bouncing off the walls, but luckily for me, that role is filled by Christian.
[[Punk]]:: For weeks I have been trying to get this message across to you that you have bitten off more than you can chew and that you don’t belong in the ring with the likes of me and you have shrugged off everything I have said, the beating that I put on you last week should have triggered an alarm in your head to get away while you still can but you’re too stupid to realise the fact that there are no happy endings, there is no gold at the end of the rainbow, there is only more pain and more misery. I wasn’t wrong when I said you haven’t came across anything like me before and that’s because everybody you have faced before had a line that they just won’t cross, well you can forget that with me because all is fair in love and war, there is no sacred grounds when it comes to CM Punk and I will do anything by any means necessary to come out victorious. If that means I have to speak ill of the dead then so be it, if it means I have to beat down my enemy then it shall be done, I can think of worse ways to spend my evening but if I have to go as far as revealing to the World somebody’s wife, then as you just found out, I will have no problem doing it.
[[Punk]]:: This whole month you have been focused on the end, what happens at the end of this little rivalry we’re having, who will come out victorious? What will the match be contested under? And all while you were doing that, I was focusing on the moments that lead to the match, I was focusing on having the advantage when we step through those ropes and safe to say I have accomplished that. Sleight of hand, I made you look one way when you really should’ve been looking the other and if you had any sense in your brain, if those TLC matches left but one brain cell in the thick skull of yours you would realise that you are out of your depths and that you need to get out while you still can and go back to that lovely wife of yours because she is so lonely right now. But if brain power continues to elude you, if you show up at Dead Man’s Hand then I will have no alternative then to give you the biggest beating of your life. You can make your little jokes about what I say, you can claim that it is just a t shirt and doesn’t mean anything but hopefully what you just witnessed reintroduced you to what we call reality, there isn’t a single thing that I won’t do and that is why I have been the single most dominant force day in and day out that this company has ever seen, that I why I have beaten any and every obstacle that has been put in my path ever since I have entered this company and that is why I am the Best in the World!

[Matthews]: Edge can I get a word with you real quick? You just had a match with Randy Orton and lost. I just gotta ask how are you taking the loss.
[Edge]: So you wanna know how I am taking my loss huh? Well lets just say that I am not to happy about it. You see I was cheated twice. The ref wasn’t really paying attention to anything that was going on in the ring but only two things that the ref had done really got to me. First the ref totally broke my pin a second to early. I had Orton beat I hit probably the most devastating spear ever and thought the ref thought he kicked out and it was a two count but it was sorry it was defiantly a three. But I let that one go the main one that got to be is that even tho my foot was on the rope from the start of the pin apparently the ref didn’t want to see it. Hell what did I do to deserve this what I ask you?
[Edge]: Nothing you see all I want is to get my chance to get a world title shot but if the ref doesn’t get his eyes fixed then that will never happen. Which means ill never get my chance to get that good for nothing champion Chris Jericho. All I want to do is redeem myself but if I can’t get the ref on my side I can just throw that down the drain. Now I know I have cheated my opponents out in our matches before but I have changed from that. Look at Ted when I screwed him out of the World Title he was fired right after. But I have changed but people didn’t want to accept me back except the fans. So I guess ill just have to try hard to get peoples trust back.
[Matthews]: Say you do get the trust of your fellow superstars back and you get your title shot what will you do that is different that Chris Jericho is doing.
[Edge]: Well when I get there trust back and I beat Jericho I will go on and represent the World champ as it should be represented. Ill go out there and show that I deserve to be a champ. Ill show that I am a fighting champion. When I get my shot I will not waste anytime I get. The one thing that I will do differently is that if someone has a bone to pick with me hell even if you have a bone to pick with me now you’ll get your shot at me. I never hold anything back and ill bring everything to the table that I have. There will be nothing and no one that will be able to stop me and anyone that gets in my way will fear the spear.
[Matthews]: One more question after this match where will you start your hunt for Jericho and the World Title.
[Edge]: Well you know that there will be a preshow for Dead Mans Hand right? Well that’s where I am going to start my hunt. I will be the predator that is looking for it’s prey. The predator is me Edge and the prey will be the World Title and CHRIS JERICHO. You see Ill do anything that I have to so I can get my shot. Weather or not I have to win by pin, win by submission, or win by count out I will get my shot and the Rated-R Superstar will be the World Champ once again. So whoever is my opponent for the preshow please for the best of you and me don’t show up save your self the humiliation. So people hear me and what I have to say, Stay out of my way or fear me and FEAR the SPEAR.

*Tried the MV thing again. Had to cut it down from an hour. Thanks E/T.
The crowd cheers as Shelley gets to his knees after taking care of a tough opponent in Yoshi Tatsu. Shelley gazes out to ringside where Chris Sabin would usually be standing but he wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Shelley rises to his feet and takes The Ersatz Tag titles from The Ref and raises it high into the air. After being on the receiving end of multiple roundhouse kicks, Shelley places his a hand on the side of his head while we walks over to the ropes and prepares to exit the ring.
That’s not a good sign and you can tell by the look on Shelley’s face that he realizes that too. Shelley backs up into the center of the ring, eyes locked on the stage, and he gets into a fighting stance ready to use the title belt as a weapon if need be. Last week the Wolves made the statement that the best of five The Guns proposed is now a best of seven and it looks like they’re going to force Shelley to fight just as they did to Sabin last week. It’s Davey Richards who steps onto the stage and he screams at Shelley that his night is far from over. The Ref leaves the ring not wanting any part of this, but Edawards comes out of nowhere and hops the barricade so that he can block off The Ref’s escape.
Edwards shouts at the official to get back into the ring and The Ref tries to resist Edwards’ demand. Edwards angrily grabs The Ref by the shirt collar and attempts to force him into the ring, and that’s when Shelley comes flying out of it to take the fight to Edwards. Shelley connects with a flurry of punches while Richards races down the ramp to lend his partner a helping hand. The numbers game is too much for Shelley to overcome, and The Wolves lay it on him with stomps, kicks, elbows and knees to the already worn out and wounded wrestler. Richards takes Shelley and throws him into the ring, while Edwards does the same with The Ref. The boos are near deafening as The Wolves continue to bark orders and with the threat of a vicious assault looming, The Ref has no choice but to call out for the bell.
If Sabin were here he would have given his best friend a helping hand, and not even the people chanting his name are enough to get him out to the ring. The Wolves stands on other side of Shelley and howl together as they prepare to wreak havoc. Suddenly Shelley thrusts his hand upwards and grabs Richards by the front of the tights and pulls him so that the momentum sends him flying out of the ring. Edwards tries to grabs Shelley but gets a headbutt to the gut for his trouble and Shelley quickly follows that up with a jawbreaker! The people are getting fired up and begin chanting Shelley’s name in the hope to will him to accomplish what seems impossible. Shelley gets to his feet and ducks under a punch from Edwards and connects with a spinning kick to the gut that doubles his opponent over. Shelley grabs Edwards and runs over to the corner looking for the Sliced Bread and he hits it!

Richards breaks up the pin! There’s a moan from the crowd, and Richards pulls Shelley up to his feet and goes for a kick but Shelley dodges and hits Richards with an enzuigiri but he didn’t have enough in the kick to knock Richards down. Shelley measures Richards for a punch put Richard snaps out of the daze the kick sent him in, and he grabs Shelley’s arm and wrestles him down to the ground with a kimura!
“Please don’t tap” chants break out amongst the people, but there’s only so much pain that a man can endure. Shelley screams in pain as Richards wrenches his arm threatening to break it. Yet despite that Shelley, on his stomach, is using his free hand to pull himself over to the ropes. One more lunge and he can do it and the people are getting louder as the distance between Shelley and the ropes gets smaller. Suddenly Edwards grabs Shelley’s leg and locks him in a single leg boston crab while Richards still has the kimura locked in! Shelley doesn’t have much left and he doesn’t last much longer as the double submission hold forces him to submit.
The match is over but The Wolves don’t care, in fact they lock their respective holds in even tighter. Shelley continues to tap, and The Ref is doing all he can to get The Wolves to break the hold, but by the time they do, Shelley may not have a functioning arm or leg. Finally the cavalry comes and numerous security guards rush down the ramp and The Wolves finally let go of Shelley’s limbs realizing that the fun is over.
As some check on Shelley, others keep a close on Richards and Edwards to make sure that they don’t pull anything else. Edwards has a smile on his face as he shouts “It’s only going to get worse at Dead Man’s Hand, for you…” Edwards then points to the titantron…. “and for him.”
A picture then appears on the titantron of doctors checking up on an unconscious Chris Sabin on the ground backstage. It’s an odd scene, not only because of Sabin being knocked out, but because the floor is littered with pancakes. The camera moves off of Sabin for a second and zooms in on a sign that reads “Free pancakes!” and this all but confirms that Sabin walked into a trap set by The Wolves so that they could isolate Shelley.
That revelation has pissed off the crowd as we’re taken back to the arena and The Wolves look proud of what they did. With a final howl they head backstage and before fading to commercial, a splitscreen image is shown of Shelley hurting in the ring and Sabin being tended to backstage.
