Normal Match

Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler

The lights dim as the titantron comes to life. The crowd enters a hush as noise comes from the as noise comes from the arena speakers. The noise, is a voice of a woman. She is humming. The song is not recognizable at first but is soon heard as "Hush little baby." The eeriness sets in as the titantron shows a picture of what appears to be a barbie doll, accompanied by a male doll. Two hands reach down and grab the male doll, gripping it tightly. It brings it up, continuing with the humming as a vision flashes across the screen.

The image is of Kharma, lifting up Chuck Taylor, and then slamming him with her finisher.

The image shoots back to the hands on the male doll. One of the two hands reaches up, and flicks the head of the doll, metaphorically, Chuck Taylor, off the head of the dolls shoulders.



The hands then throw the doll to the floor, and reach for the barbie. This time, upon picking up the doll, the caresses it, stroking it's hair lovingly. Almost like that of a mother's touch. Then, another image shoots across the screen.



The hands lift up the doll, but do not flick off the head. Instead, the hands move the doll downward, to a table. On the table, lies a saw. A woman's screeching laugh can be heard as the hands begin to saw off the limbs of the doll version of Maryse. The laughing continues until having removed all the body parts. The hands lifts up the head as the humming restarts. The hands bring the head up, revealing Kharma holding it along it her humming. Suddenly, her hums grow raspy, and quite, unnatural as he brushes the hair of the doll and begins to laugh again. The titantron then slowly dies out.

Normal Divas Match

MsChif vs. Kelly Kelly

When we return from a commercial break the two women are already going at it and at this point it looks like the victory could be anyone’s for the taking. Kelly Kelley pulls MsChif to her feet and with a tug of the arm sends her racing over to the ropes with an irish whip. When MsChif bounces off Kelly leaps onto her shoulders and goes for a hurricanrana but MsChif reverses it and with no regard for Kelly’s wellbeing, she charges and throws her into the corner with a powerbomb.

MsChif charges forward ready to hit a body splash but Kelly Kelly is able to evade at the last second and MsChif hits the turnbuckle hard chest first. Kelly Kelly quickly rolls MsChif up in a school girl looking to steal the win:

Kick out! Kelly backs away from the corner and waits for MsChif to pulls herself up to her feet while leaning back into the corner. Kelly then races over and after and impressive handspring delivers a back elbow to MsChif. As MsChif drops down into a seated position, Kelly wiggles her butt getting the men all googly eyed as she signals for the sting face. Before Kelly can back in, MsChif draws her own knees to her chest, then thrusts them out with as much force as she can muster and kicks Kelly in the backside.

Kelly stumbles past the middle of the ring but somehow manages to avoid losing her balance. Both she and MsChif get to their feet around the same time and the same thought runs through their minds as they both take a running start. Kelly telegraphs her clothesline and MsChif ducks under it, then when Kelly spins around MsChif clocks her with her signature backfist knocking Kelly to the ground.

MsChif pulls the diva to her feet, drapes her left leg over Kelly’s left arm, then with a scream she drives Kelly’s skull into the ground with a mean looking Desecrator. MsChif doesn’t waste anytime going for the pin:

There are cheers from the crowd as MsChif picks up the victory in what was a closer battle than anyone expected. MsChif rolls out of the ring opting to take the normal way out instead of the supernatural and makes her way up the ramp. From the stage, MsChif watches as the woman who gave her a run for her money is assisted to her feet by The Ref. MsChif watches the two for a few seconds, then smirks before heading backstage.

Normal Non-Title Match

Shawn Michaels vs. Alex Shelley

When we return from a commercial break, Michaels has Shelley right where he wants him: in the center of the ring while he has his modified figure four locked in tight. HBK is applying as much pressure as he can trying to force the United States champion to submit, but Shelley’s showing his grit as he continues dragging himself over to the ropes. With one final stretch he’s able to grab the bottom rope with his right hand and The Ref forces HBK to break the hold.

Shelley gets to his feet and HBK is right there and delivers a stinging chop right across Shelley’s chest. Michaels grabs Shelley’s arm and attempts to irish whip him but Shelley is gripping the other rope with his hand and before HBK can react, Shelley tugs him forward then lifts him over the ropes. HBK manages to land feet first on the apron and when Shelley turns around he hits a hotshot pulling Shelley’s throat over the top rope while he drops to the outside.

Michaels slides back into the ring just as Shelley wobbly rises to his feet and goes for a DDT but Shelley spins out of it pushes HBK back and goes for a superkick! HBK ducks under Shelley’s boot and when Shelley spins around HBK attempts the Sweet Chin Music in response, but Shelley grabs HBK’s boot just before it connects with his jaw, then he trips him up and it looks like he’s about to go for the sharpshooter, but HBK manages to kick his way out of the potential submission.

Both men get to their feet around to same time but it’s HBK to strike first by charging forward and nailing Shelley with a flying forearm. Seconds pass as neither man move until HBK suddenly kips up drawing a big pop from the crowd. HBK hits an atomic drop on Shelley then immediately follows it up with a scoop slam. HBK has been in control for most of the match and it looks like he’s about to put the final nail in the coffin.

Michaels walks over to the turnbuckles and makes his ascent and we all know what’s coming next. HBK takes to the skies, and the elbow drop almost looks like it’s being done in slow motion but barely a second passes between the time HBK jumps off and the moment he drives his elbow right into Shelley’s heart.

HBK finds a corner where he begins to tune up the band, stomping his feet rhythmically as Shelley slowly rises to his feet. When Shelley’s in position HBK charges forward ready to crack Shelley’s jaw open, but Shelley ducks under the incoming boot and races over to the ropes. Michaels turns around just in time to see Shelley springboard off the middle rope and before he knows it his head’s being planted into the mat with a devastating DDT.

Shelley pulls Michaels to his feet and hoists him onto his shoulders ready to hit Automatic Midnight. He does a little run to the center of the ring then he jumps into the air and drives HBK into the mat with his finishing maneuver. Shelley goes for the cover and the crowd counts with The Ref:

1

2

3!











The crowd pops as Shelley sits up with a look of surprise on his face. As he gets to his feet he looks down to make sure that was indeed Shawn Michaels he just pinned. The Ref hands him his Ersatz and United States championship, which he raises into the air with a smile on his face before we fade away to a commercial break.

After the break we come back and find XWL Diva Mickie James walking down the hall, though she's not scheduled to compete tonight it looks like she's on her way to her locker room. She turns the corner, then suddenly stops, the camera catches up with her to find her locker room door wide open, and instantly she notices scattered pieces of her clothing on the floor.

[Mickie James]
What the hell?

Mickie stares confused for a second more before heading forward, with our cameras not far behind. As she passes through the threshold of the door, she now realizes that not only have her clothes been thrown everywhere, they're cut up and ripped apart, completely unwearable. Upon further examination she sees a rather large blow up pig sat on a bench with her face plastered over it.

[Mickie James]
Are you kidding me?!



She takes another step, then realizes that there's still more to be seen, she sees the lockers against the wall as they should be, but one thing that's not supposed to be there is the unique graffiti spray painted across it. The cameraman tries not to intrude too much but wants to find out what it is, and that's when we see the simple pairing of letters "LOL" to be what's been branded on the lockers. She does her best to contain her emotions, though seeing everything she brought with her completely ruined, the pig with her face on it, and this strange phrase spray painted on the lockers makes that almost impossible. She starts to collapse against the lockers, covering her face with her hands, when suddenly she hears a familiar voice let out an even more familiar comment. "Don't cry Piggie James!" the voice is easily recognized as the supposed reformed Layla, though she's nowhere in sight.

Suddenly, the cameras head to the outside of the locker room where the Bella Twins are seen laughing quitely, it's obvious that they're up to it but Mickie doesn't know that for sure. Sobbing sounds can be heard from the room. Nikki signals to Brie to quiet down a little so they avoid getting compromise. Brie and Nikki compose themselves and then knock.



[Brie Bella]: Mickie? Is that you?

[Nikki Bella]: Mickie, are you alright?

[Brie Bella]: We just want to see what's going on with you. You don't sound too good.

[Nikki Bella]: We're going to come in now.

Nikki and Brie look at one another and smile. The two devious divas burst into the room and put on their most shocked face.



[Brie Bella]: What happened. . .

[Nikki Bella]: . . . in here?

[Nikki Bella]: All your clothes. . . they're destroyed.

[Brie Bella]: Is that a. . . pinanta?

[Nikki Bella]:With a pig face? And did someone spray #LOL all over the lockers? Who could've done this?

[Brie Bella]: Wait, I think that recording has the answers we're seeking, let's play it.

Brie Bella walks up over to the recorder and presses play on it. The message says "Don't cry Piggie James!" Brie plays it yet again after it stops and again.



[Brie Bella]: This sounds like none other than that sneaky girl Layla. I knew she was up to this.

[Nikki Bella]: She had us all fooled, I could've never guess with that nice guy act of hers.

[Brie Bella]: You know, it's starting to click. She probably starting acting friendly towards all these divas to get close to them and do this, shame on her.

[Nikki Bella]: Wow, what a devil. Mickie, if you need any help, we're here for you. If you need to confront Layla, we're also here for you.

The camera fades to the black as Brie and Nikki Bella walk up to Mickie James and whisper some things into her ear as she shakes her head in agreement.

Normal Match

Justin Gabriel vs. Leo Kruger

Leo Kruger wins by pinfall via Kruger end

*Breakdown returns from the commercial break and we are greeted by the commentary unit of Jim Ross, Michael Cole, and Jerry Lawler.*

Jim Ross: Folks welcome back to Breakdown and now we’d like to take you back to last week after our main event between the teams of United States Champion Alex Shelley and Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett had ended.

Quote :

With DiBiase’s insults being the final straw, Rhodes and Barrett storm the ring immediately inciting a four man brawl. The tag team match didn’t solve a thing; in fact, in may have only riled up these men further and you can tell with the hatred and fury behind each punch and kick that none of these men would shed a tear if their rival didn’t make it to Unforgiven in one piece.

Barrett and DiBiase begin to trade blows and though DiBiase has made a name for himself as a capable brawler, the bare knuckle brawler gets to best of him after heated exchange, and with a headbutt, Barrett sends DiBiase crumbling to the mat.

Shelley and Rhodes are going at it on the other side of the ring and after dodging a punch from Rhodes, Shelley sets him up for the sliced bread and steps off the turnbuckles, but Barrett catches him before he can land and now he’s only moments away from hitting Wasteland.

DiBiase comes charging and takes out Barrett’s leg with a chop block but as soon as DiBiase gets up, Rhodes nails him with the Disaster Kick! Rhodes pulls DiBiase to his feet and has him in position for the Cross Rhodes, but before he can hit it a look of surprise flashes on and off his face as Shelley gets up and for a second it looked like he was going to catch Rhodes off guard with a superkick.

But Shelley hesitates and that split-second is all Barrett needs to rear back and clobber Shelley in the back of the skull with The Bullhammer while Rhodes drops DiBiase with the Cross Rhodes. Barrett and Rhodes smirk at each other and nod approvingly as they place a foot on the chests of their respective adversaries then raise their arms in the air.

This is the last image we see and the boos from the crowd are the last images we hear as the screen fades to black and Redemption goes off the air.

Jerry Lawler: Just a deplorable attack from Cody and Wade, those two are ashamed of nothing.

Michael Cole: Listen to yourself babble King, Cody is our savior and Wade is one of the most accomplish superstars in XWL history!

Jerry Lawler: First of all Cody is not our savior, and secondly that does not give them the right to do whatever they want.

Jim Ross: Well personally...

[???]
ATTENTION PLEASE.



*As the theme of the “Dashingly Insane” hits the PA system, Cody makes his way out to the stage with the entire crowd jeering him. He removes his hood and looks up at the waves of XWL Universe members booing him with a smirk on his face. He struts down the ramp with confidence in each step, clearly he has a good feeling for Sunday after his attack on Ted last week. Cody ignores all the fans who reach their hand out for a high five, as he thinks he’s above all of them. The self-proclaimed “Savior” steps into the ring and snatches the microphone from Justin Roberts. He tells him to leave the ring and Justin complies, Cody giving him the death stare until he is out. He turns back and smiles once more before raising the microphone to speak.*

[Cody Rhodes]
ATTENTION PLEASE.

*The crowd continues to heckle Cody, showering him with “YOU SUCK!” chants.*


[Cody Rhodes]
Last week is what I like to refer to as a successful failure. Due to the incompetence of my tag team partner, Wade Barrett, I lost my first match on Redemption in over six months. While I was dealing with Ted DiBiase, he allowed himself to be pinned by that laughable excuse of a champion Alex Shelley. Luckily for Wade, he had me with him to avenge our loss. I saw an opportunity when Ted and Alex were bickering, so I took it. We hit the ring and we took the both of them out. Some people might call the act cowardly or even disgusting, but that’s what separates me from all of you people. What I did last week was both genius and successful. You people may not be willing to break the rules and stand up for what you believe in, but that’s why I’m your savior. Ted DiBiase is a menace and needs to be dealt with. I did what I needed to do to ensure Ted is taken out for good on Sunday.


[Cody Rhodes]
Ted, if you think that tag team match was some kind of victory for you, then you are sorely mistaken. You got lucky that your tag team partner pinned my Wade Barrett. Lucky, just like you were back at Night of Champions. I bring this up because you had the audacity to come out earlier and say you flat out beat me. Really, Ted? Do you think your ways are actually fair and balanced? You think you actions are acceptable? You used the environment outside the ring to injure me. When I break the rules it is for the greater good, but you broke them for you own selfish reasons. You broke them to beat me. You knew that you couldn’t beat me one on one and you took the easy way out. I proved this when I defeated you at Dead Man’s Hand last month. Yet, there was no vindication, no justice in my victory. But don’t worry, because justice is coming your way. And while Lady Justice is blind, Cody Rhodes is not, and I see that I’m taking you out for good at Unforgiven.


[Cody Rhodes]
You know disgusts me? You actually think you deserve better. You think you are entitled to things. The only thing you are entitled to is getting your ass kicked by Cody Rhodes. I might be the Dashingly Insane, but you are just one sick sick man. You were talking about how you wanted to leave me a bloody mess. And you still think you deserve something? … Oh, that’s right! You want to leave me in a bloody mess just like I did to you at my gracious return. The way I left you swimming in a pool of your blood as you wife and little boy Tate watched helplessly in horror. If you think they or even yourself was helpless and terrified then, just you wait. Just wait until the pay-per-view this Sunday. I am going to make them relive that painful night all over again. I am going to beat you down like the dog you are in the center of the ring. And just like Old Yeller, I’m putting you down.


[Cody Rhodes]
You know what else you said that really got under my skin? You said I didn’t have what it takes. I!? don’t have what it takes? I single handedly took over Breakdown. I have defeated SEVEN former world champions, including yourself, in the past. I beat Shawn Michaels at his own game in the Iron Man match. Then I did the same thing to Edge and Mick Foley in Extreme Rules matches. I put down the so called “Ryder Revolution” all by myself, which you ingrates have yet to to thank me for. I am the guy who battered and destroyed his own brother in this very ring. Last year at Supremacy I beat him so bad I sent him running with his tails tucked in between his legs straight into retirement. I’ll have no problem doing that to you, Ted.

*Cody’s rage suddenly goes away as he begins to cackle. He holds the back of his head as he looks up and laughs uncontrollably. He rocks back and forth before finally composing himself and wiping the smile off his face. He scowls at the audience before going on with his speech.*


[Cody Rhodes]
Your words can’t get to me Ted. Your talk is cheap, but my words are chosen attentively and they can be backed up. Everything I say has merit, and you will find out at Unforgiven that I cannot be touched. Nobody in this company can match my skill, intelligence, cunning, or charisma. I am the embodiment of everything a wrestler needs to be, and what the Cody Rhodes Era has install for us all. You, on the other hand, are everything but. You personify everything not to be, but luckily I’ve gotten inside your head. I am one step closer to breaking you, one step closer to getting rid of you. I am all you see, all you think about, and you cannot escape my presence. Hell, you’ve been on a wild goose chase for me all night when I’ve been standing right here in the open.


[Cody Rhodes]
I would dare you to come out here right now and try to strike me down, but there is a time and a place for everything. Ted, you don’t want to wait until Unforgiven to get your hands on me. You want to kick my ass right here, right now, and all these people would love it. Sadly for both them and you, I am not going to allow that to happen. I am in control here, so I will pick the time and place. Luckily for you, the time is tonight. I will fight you, Ted, but not out here in the ring. No, I want you to meet me out in the parking lot in about five minutes. I will fight you out there and I will give you a little taste of what is to come your way this Sunday. I just hope your ready.

*Cody drops the microphone and heads out of the ring as the crowd has gone wild with excitement for the fight.*

Jerry Lawler: What? Are we really going to see Cody and Ted fight?

Jim Ross: I don’t know King, this sounds like a trap to me.

Michael Cole: Zip it you two, our savior is going to whoop Ted tonight! Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen!



*As Breakdown returned from the break, a crowd of superstars have gathered at the parking lot to watch the impending fight between Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. As the cameraman moves forward we see the “Dashingly Insane” Cody Rhodes, now decked out in a t-shirt and jeans, standing amongst them in the center. He’s taking shots at Ted, calling him a coward for not showing up yet. A couple of the heels laugh along with him, while the faces shake their heads. Cody continues to run his mouth when suddenly Ted jumps him from behind! Cody falls to the ground and Ted is all over him, firing with shot after shot. Cody tries his best to squirm away, but his rival is relentless. Eventually he is able to kick him off and he grabs the first object he can find - a traffic cone. He throws it at Ted with no effect, only ticking him off even more.*

*Ted takes him down with a clothesline and Cody has no chance to regroup as he is picked up from the ground. Ted throws him back first into the front of a car and continues his assault. Cody is able to move out of the way and he kicks Ted in the back of the leg. He limps, giving him the opportunity to smack his head into the hood of the car. Ted falls to the ground and Cody wastes no time in stomping away at him. Soon he hunches over Ted and picks up his head, drilling shots into his skull. He slams his head into the ground, discombobulating him. Rhodes stands up and roars as Ted perks him to his knees, only to be sent back down with a kick to the gut.*

*Cody laughs as Ted crawls away trying to recompose himself. Cody approaches him, looking to finish the job, but Ted meets him with a swift blow to the stomach. He falls to his knees and Ted gets up and throws him right into the trunk of a jeep. Cody cries out in pain as Ted rips off his T-shirt and wraps it around his neck. You can hear him gasping for breath as Ted pulls tighter, dropping him down to a knee. He continues to apply pressure until Cody hits him with a low blow and launches him head first into the nearby fence. The fight almost looks like a steel cage match for a moment as Cody takes Ted’s head and grates it across the fence. He laughs at his own demented ways until Ted fights him off with a series of elbows.*

*Cody takes the one second Ted uses to regroup for his escape. He quickly heads for the other side of the lot, but Ted is in hot pursuit. Cody notices this and kicks it into high gear, making a run for it. He leads DiBiase into a wild goose chase around the cars, opening doors and throwing random boxes and cans in his way. Ted jumps pass all these obstacles and tackles to the ground. Cody quickly gets away again though, and this time he jumps off a car and hits the Beautiful Disaster! The crowd of superstars nearby let out an “OH!” as Ted is laid out on the ground. Cody picks him up and hooks him for the suplex, looking to drive him back to the pavement. Ted is able to block it however, and he suplexes Cody onto the hood of a car!*

*Rhodes screams out in pain as his back just went head to head with a car and lost. The desperation move also took some out of Ted, as he uses the car to support himself. He regroups and tries to grab him again, only for Cody to roll off the hood. Cody has now resorted to crawling away, clearly his plan has backfired. Ted isn’t done with him yet however, screaming “GET BACK HERE!” He grabs Cody by the head which causes him to scream again, but this time the “savior” fights back with a thumb to the eye. Ted tends to his eye and Cody takes the chance to get on the move again. Unluckily for him, Ted recovers quickly and meets up with him., grabbing him and throwing his head into a car mirror!*

*Cody is laid out on the floor, and we can see a little blood trickling down his face. Ted stands above him, looking down at his rival with eyes of hate. Cody is defiant and spits in his face, an act he doesn’t take kind to. Ted lunges for him and he gets out of the way, nailing Ted with a superkick in the process. Cody then heads to the trunk of a car opposite from them and pops open the trunk. From there he pulls out a crowbar with a devious smirk on his face. As Ted struggles to get on his feet, Cody takes the crowbar and driving it into his stomach. Ted drops to a knee again and Cody whacks him over the head.*

*Ted may be out cold on the ground as Cody stands tall in victory. Yet, for the Savior of XWL,taking his rival down is not enough. He looks over at the same car he got the crowbar from and limps over to the car with a sinister look on his face. He enters the driver’s seat and shuts the door, grasping the wheel with an evil grin on his face. He starts up the engine and watches Ted as he gets up to his hands and knees. He slams his foot down on the gas pedal and charges at Ted, only for him to roll out of the way at the last second!*

*Cody stops the car as Ted catches his breath, taking in what just happened. Instinct alone may have been the only thing that saved him tonight. He looks up at the car and Cody notices this, quickly driving off from the arena. Within a matter of seconds he is out of sight, leaving the other superstars to help Ted back in the arena*

*The cameras cut to ringside and the announce team.*



[Michael Cole]
Right now I'm receiving word from the back that our broadcast colleague Matt Striker is standing by with the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho. Now for those of you who missed it, two weeks ago, Jericho was brutally assaulted during an interview with Josh Mathews and was hospitalized as a result. Many people claimed that the number one contender Dolph Ziggler was the assailant, but it was soon revealed to be the returning Dean Ambrose and The Shield. To jog your memories we have some footage of the attack and then we'll cut to the backstage area.

*The following recap video begins to play.*

RecapVideo wrote:

[Chris Jericho]
That's the problem with guys like Dolph Ziggler. They talk a lot, but when the time comes to back up those words they fall short. I used to be just like Dolph, so I'll admit... the kid has potential. He reminds me a lot of a younger Chris Jericho but everything he has been saying... this "hot streak" that he's currently on... all of that will-

*Suddenly a flash of blonde hair comes into view and the camera is knocked to the ground with a huge crash. Static fills the screen and the audio is mangled until a broken sideways picture returns, showing both Jericho and Mathews knocked down seemingly unconscious. Blood seeps around the head of Jericho who is face down among several broken items of backstage paraphernalia. There are several screams and paramedics are shown rushing onto the scene as the screen fades to black*

*The scene now shifts to the backstage area where Matt Striker is shown.*



[Matt Striker]
Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time is none other than the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho.

*Cheers can be heard off in the distance as the camera pans outward to reveal Jericho who is visibly infuriated.*



[Matt Striker]
Chris, first of all welcome back. You must still be feeling the effects of the attack from two weeks ago at the hands of The Shield, but admirably you're back already. I have to ask you what is your condition heading into the championship match against Dolph Ziggler this Sunday at Unforgiven? Surely The Shield have jeopardized your chances of retaining the gold as you can't be anywhere near 100%?



[Chris Jericho]
You're right. The Shield's attack has left me nowhere near 100%. But that's okay. I don't need to be at 100% to pull off a victory and retain my World Heavyweight Championship. That is why I am the best in the world at what I do. If Dean Ambrose and his new band of cronies think they've made a statement or an impact at my expense they're sadly mistaken. I am still going to walk into Unforgiven as the World Heavyweight Champion and I am still going to walk out of Unforgiven as the World Heavyweight Champion.



[Chris Jericho]
Dolph Ziggler is probably thinking right now that he's in for an easy ride, that I'm going to be a pushover after the attack... but as soon as that bell rings and he sees all of the built up anger and the fire in my eyes he'll be brought right back down to reality when I show up the show-off live on pay-per-view. I have meant everything that I have said over the past couple of weeks and Dolph Ziggler does not stand a chance when he steps inside the ring with Chris Jericho under any circumstances.



[Chris Jericho]
And once I am through with Ziggler, The Shield will have my undivided attention. It's obvious to me that Dean Ambrose doesn't feel confident in his own abilities which is why he continues to surround himself with guys inferior to himself so he stands out among them. It's an illusion to make Dean seem better than he is but I see through all of that. It's ironic that they're called "The Shield" because that's exactly what they are to Dean Ambrose... a shield used to hide his mediocrity.



[Chris Jericho]
At Dead Man's Hand I exposed Dean Ambrose as the fraud that he is and I'll have no problem doing it again. Reigns and Rollins don't intimidate me. I've been up against some of the best performers in the history of this business throughout my long and illustrious career, so dealing with two unproven thugs won't be an issue.



[Chris Jericho]
But I'm getting ahead of myself here. I need to focus on the task at hand and Dolph Ziggler and Unforgiven come first. And tonight, in that very ring we will be signing the contract to make it official. In front of the thousands of Jerichoholics live in Pierre, South Dakota, Dolph Ziggler will sign away his right to call himself a show-off and to compare himself to the best that there is. Once your name is on the contract Dolph, there will be no going back. Come Unforgiven you will witness first-hand what it takes to be the World Heavyweight Champion and you will not like it. Not one bit. So I want you to think long and hard before you put pen to paper because it could be the biggest mistake of your life.



[Chris Jericho]
See you later Dolph...

*Jericho walks out of view clearly in an intense frame of mind as the screen fades away to a promotional video, hyping up this Sunday's historic Pay-Per-View, Unforgiven.*

*The cameras cut to an undisclosed location which appears to be in the backstage area. It's a pretty dark and dingy scenario with not much to look at. It's hard to tell where this is actually being filmed as there's nothing distinguishing about it except some cage mesh on one side. A boiler room or maintenance hall maybe? Who knows. As there's some confused mumblings from the XWL Universe, the camera is suddenly spun around and the lethal trifecta known as The Shield are shown. The confusion quickly turns to boos and jeers as the man to the right, Seth Rollins, begins to speak first after turning the camera toward him.*



[Seth Rollins]
Rollins.


[Roman Reigns]
Reigns.



{Dean Ambrose}
Ambrose.



{Dean Ambrose}
With each passing week, the list of people who have fallen before The Shield grows. Our latest victim was the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison. I hope you have begun saying your goodbyes to that championship, Morrison, because at Unforgiven, it's coming to The Shield. You and I have crossed paths before and you're nothing special, Rollins could beat you with both his arms tied behind his back if he wanted to. I hope that you're preparing your body for the pain you will receive in just six days at the hands of Seth Rollins. He's a former King of the Ring winner, and he's the next Intercontinental Champion, believe that!



{Dean Ambrose}
Daniel Bryan, following your actions last week, you should be on the top of my list of targets, but you're not, no, not yet. Dean Ambrose will slay a Dragon, but it'll be on my terms and right now, I have something much more important requires my full attention: The World Heavyweight Championship. Bryan, you dodged a bullet last week, next time, you won't be so lucky. The Shield doesn't forgive and The Shield doesn't forget, sooner rather than later, your number will be called.



{Dean Ambrose}
And Dolph Ziggler. Believe in the Heel? Really, you got jokes now? Where were your jokes when I was beating you within an inch of your life at X-treme X-mas? Where were your jokes when I brutally demoralized you at Uprising? Where were your jokes when I threw us off the stage at Final Stand? Where were your jokes when I shattered your dreams into a million pieces when I beat you in the center of that ring to become the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship? Where will your jokes be when we're within ten feet of each other?



{Dean Ambrose}
I've proven that you're nothing more than a guy who's bark is much bigger than his bite, a guy who doesn't have what it takes to get the job done, a guy who has to stand in the shadow of the World Heavyweight Champion just to remain relevant, and a guy who is nothing more that Dean Ambrose's victim. Ziggler, continue spewing your lies, anything that eases the physical and mental pain I have caused you. Continue to act like you're The Showoff you pretend to be, but you and I both know that you will never get rid of Dean Ambrose. I am the nightmare you will never wake up from. How does it feel knowing that every time you get close to achieving something worth of value, I'll be right there ready to take it from you?



{Dean Ambrose}
Don't think I forgot about you, “Champ.” The best in the world at what he does, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho, the same man who is walking around with MY championship. I know that it's eating you alive inside knowing that your oh so precious “win” over me at Dead Man's Hand was nothing more than a fluke. Then again, I could be wrong since your whole reign has been a fluke. Did you really think that you could defeat me without any outside interference? I'm Dean Ambrose! I'm indestructible! You're going to have to run me over with a car to put me down for a three count!



{Dean Ambrose}
Jericho, you thought that Dead Man's Hand would be our final encounter, you couldn't be more wrong. The fun is just getting started! Tonight marks your return from The Shield's assault on you two weeks ago, how did it feel watching from the sidelines? People are probably celebrating in the streets, happy that their World Champion has returned from nearly getting put on the shelf permanently. Where was my celebration? Where were the videos announcing my return?



{Dean Ambrose}
It's things like this that make me hate people like you, Jericho, people like Dolph Ziggler, people like Daniel Bryan, people like John Morrison. This company looks at you like you're the future of this sport, but the fact of the matter is, all of you will be nothing more than The Shield's latest victims! The Eye of Justice sees everything. When you least expect it, The Shield will strike and right all the wrongs caused by this company.



[Roman Reigns]
When we destroyed Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler two weeks ago it was the start of something big. The start of something which nobody will fully understand until the Shield has been and gone, many years from now. We are revolutionizing this business and molding it to how we want, and to how it should be. The wrongs will be put right and The Shield is the cure to the disease of injustice which is slowly draining the life out of professional wrestling.



[Roman Reigns]
We, The Shield, are the shot in the arm that this business needs. We are the Hounds Of Justice and XWL is now OUR yard. If you think we're all talk, we dare you to oppose us because our bite is worse than our bark, unlike the rest of the so-called big dogs. If you stand against us or disagree with our cause you're going to get hurt.



[Roman Reigns]
Step by step we will climb to the top of this business and change the landscape to how we see fit. It's already begun and it's only a matter of time. We'll start by taking the Intercontinental Championship this Sunday at Unforgiven and we already have plans in place to get the World Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship. Imagine that image. The three of us, as champions. As it should be. The Shield will reign supreme and it will be a turning point for this business. And everyone will have no other option but to believe in The Shield.



[Seth Rollins]
And believe they will. Tonight, in the Main Event no less, Dolph Ziggler will fall before The Shield once again, you will fall short just days before your World Heavyweight Championship match at Unforgiven. Since November To Remember last year, the only thing you've done is prove that you're nothing more than a loudmouth who can't back up what he says. You call yourself “The Showoff,” the only thing you're going to be showing off is how deadly my Blackout is!



[Seth Rollins]
And John Morrison, last week was just a taste of what you can come to expect at Unforgiven. At Unforgiven, you will have the main course of a beatdown and a side order of being outclassed courtesy of yours truly. And it's going to taste oh so good when I take that Intercontinental Championship away from you and bring it home to The Shield, starting our revolution of this industry with our first piece of gold.



[Roman Reigns]
This Sunday, we take our first steps along the path to our ultimate goal of immortality. It will be a long fought battle but we are fully prepared for both the good times and the bad times that lie ahead. We have no equals. We will win this war and justice will be served. Welcome to the Shield of Justice.



{Dean Ambrose}
Ziggler, after you get knocked even further into obscurity by Seth Rollins later on tonight, you're going to ask yourself one question: Why did I decide to foolishly seal my fate by costing Dean Ambrose the World Heavyweight Championship? It's pretty apparent that you bit off more than you could chew by putting a bounty on my head at X-treme X-mas, you would think that you'd learn not to mess with a man that has nothing to lose. You've already played with fire once before, Ziggler, and you got burned, now you're playing with fire yet again. This time, you won't be able to escape it, you'll be engulfed by the Flames of Justice!



{Dean Ambrose}
Chris Jericho says that Dean Ambrose uses The Shield to hide his mediocrity. Jericho says a lot of things like that he's the best in the world at what he does, and all those things are nothing but a lie. You can talk all the trash you want, but at least have the balls to say it to my face, Jericho. I'm not going to deny that you've faced and defeated the best this sport has to offer, but what you fail to realize is that it's all in the past, just like your prime. You and I both know that had Ziggler not stuck his nose where it didn't belong, Dean Ambrose would be the World Heavyweight Champion right now.



{Dean Ambrose}
The Shield has plans, Jericho, plans to right a wrong done by Dolph Ziggler and we will succeed. Tonight will mark the continuation of The Rise of The Shield, and if you're smart...



[Seth Rollins]
Believe in The Shield!



[Roman Reigns]
BELIEVE IN THE SHIELD!



*With that, the camera is dropped and The Shield are shown departing as the screen fades to black for a commercial break...*

Normal Match

Wade Barrett vs. Yoshi Tatsu

The match was fast paced and Yoshi was using his speed advantage quite well, however in the end it proved to lead to his downfall literally when he dove for his spinning heel kick from the top rope, and was caught out of nowhere with the BullHammer elbow for the count of three.

Winner: Wade Barrett

*The cameras cut to the backstage area where The Shield are shown roaming the halls. Suddenly, Ambrose points out to something or someone.*



{Dean Ambrose}
There he is.

*The cameras turn to show that it's none other than Hulk Hogan. Hogan appears shocked and intimidated by the sudden apparition of The Shield and takes a step back.*



[Hulk Hogan]
Listen brothers. I don't want any trouble.

[Roman Reigns]
We're not here for trouble.

[Seth Rollins]
We just need to have a little... talk.

{Dean Ambrose}
But somewhere a little more private... brother.

[Hulk Hogan]
Okay okay. My office is right over here.

*Ambrose smirks maniacally as Hogan leads the lethal trifecta to his office. They each enter in single file following Hogan in, Reigns enters last and shoves the camera with some considerable force on his way in before slamming the door shut behind them. The screen fades to black for a commercial break...*

*Kofi Kingston sits up following his victory as Antonio rolls from the ring, Kofi smiles as the crowd cheers before rolling to the outside. He grabs his shirt and slips it back on and then asks for a mic which he receives and slides back into the ring.

{Kofi Kingston}
Alright Daniel. I got you last week, you and Harley Quinn got me the week before so here's whats going to happen. I'm going to accept that match you want for Unforgiven and punk you just like I did Seth Rollins at Dead Man's Hand. I am not someone to mess with and I'm tired of the games. If you are truly evil you'll leave A.J. in the back and we get to do our thing man to man, good v.s. evil, that's what you want right? To be the most evil man in the entire world......and what kind of man of true evil needs his flunky to help win a match for him anyway? If you were truly evil you could beat me without her. I don't know the choice you are gonna make about it but here's my formal acceptance to your match YES! YES! YES! YES!

*Kofi goes to set the mic on the mat but he is interrupted by overwhelming boo's as the flight of the Valkyries rings out through the sold out crowd meaning it's time for one man...





*Daniel then storms down the ramp sidestepping while screaming "YES!" throwing his arms into the air after each triumphant yell! Eventually he reaches the ring and instead of entering he walks around ringside, screaming into the crowds faces before grabbing a mic from the side...



*He then takes it upon himself to climb onto the announce table...



[Daniel Bryan]
People please, show some decency. I am out here tonight to do you all a favor by correcting Kofi Kingston, he seems to have me mixed up, because if you Kofi actually have the nerve to insult me by comparing me to such a simple minded buffoon as Seth Rollins then you my friend are in for a rude awakening...You see what you accomplished at Dead Mans Hand was like taking candy from a baby, you come at the Evil Daniel Bryan with that attitude and you'll find out that the baby is actually a diabolical submission artist in disguise! Do not take me for a fool! You understand me? I am a dangerous, dangerous man and you should plan accordingly.



[Daniel Bryan]
And I know you Kofi, you're in there thinking if I'm so dangerous then why the hell am I standing out here and not in the ring and don't worry I won't keep you in the dark, I'll tell you right now. This is symbolic! This is me showing you that I don't do what you want me to do, I don't do what anybody tells me to do...I do what's in the best interest for Daniel Bryan and that's why I won't enter the ring with a hot headed adrenaline junkie like yourself when I could be preserving my energy for our future battle. I do what I want...That's exactly why none of your little mind games will work on me, you tell me to leave AJ in the back and we'll have a fair fight?! How very nineteen fifties of you Kofi! AJ is a strong powerful woman and as my accomplish she has as much a right as anyone to be out at ringside...



[Daniel Bryan]
So no I won't leave her in the back, she will be out here to cheer me on whether you like it or not. So you have your match for Unforgiven, Daniel Bryan vs Kofi Kingston in a one on one match, AJ will be there but you have my word as an honest man that she won't get involved unless you do anything out of the ordinary. So there you have it, what do you say? Still feeling man enough to take on the worlds toughest vegan? Or are you scared of a little helpless girl....

*Kofi chuckles at the notion of being scared...



{Kofi Kingston}
Trust me I'm not scared of you, and I'm not scared of A.J. what I'm CONCERNED with is making sure I get you in this ring on a level playing field. I know I can beat you, the question on everyone's mind is can you beat me? I mean the only reason you got me a couple weeks ago was due to A.J. who at this point is a bigger threat to me than you, and don't take the remark as me underestimating you or selling you short because I know what you can do but I know I can match it, what I can't match is the wild card that is A.J. Lee. And that's something you should be concerned with as well Bryan.

{Kofi Kingston}
As I recall last week didn't your "ace in the hole" back fire a bit? I mean come on man, do you really want to run the risk of that kind of embarrassment again? Because I'll gladly sit back and watch another slip up as you'll get to witness "Trouble in Paradise" literally AND figuratively. As far as "my head games" go, well there not games, there just statements of truth, and you head games aren't going to work on me either. I don't look at A.J. as a weak person, and you're right this isn't the 1950's so how about treating here like it's the 21st Century? But then again that isn't any of my business....what is my business is what happens in this ring and as you said and as I know you are a "dangerous, dangerous man" and that I "should plan accordingly."

{Kofi Kingston}
Daniel I never doubted what you can do straight up in that ring, I know you can put people on the shelf with a snap of their leg or arm or wrist, whatever it maybe but something you need to realize I'm not some punk that you can chump! I am every bit as good at what I do as you are! You make people tap, I knock people out. You wrestle them to death, I run them to death. You are calculating and meticulous, I'm spur of the moment and sudden. We are two completely different styles of competitors, yet we are cut from the same cloth. We don't take kindly to no's and negatives, we refuse to die and will push until our bodies can simply not go anymore and even then are mind is pushing itself to the limit trying to get ourselves going again. Daniel we are a different breed of wrestler and my question is are you ready to bring that to the table at Unforgiven? Because I am.



[Daniel Bryan]
Bravo, Kofi...What a speech. Really, it would bring a tear to a glass eye but unfortunately for you my eyes are not made of glass and they can see through your cunning facade. You are supposed to be a hero, a martyr for these mindless drones but do you want to know why you're standing there without a title and a big fat paycheck? Because you are lying to them! You are supposed to be setting an example for all the little kids out there hoping to be the next Kofi Kingston but in reality all you're doing is giving them false hope, little brass rings that their tiny hands will never clasp onto because they are made of lies! You stand in that ring and you tell people that we are cut from the same cloth? I am an American Dragon! You on the other hand are Jamaican these people Brainwashed!



[Daniel Bryan]
You are not on my level! You never have been and you never will be and you wanna know why? I'll tell ya, it's because of these people....You're trying to play superhero to a bunch of lazy, fat, low class misfits. There are two types of people in this business Kofi those who pay to sit in the seats and those who work to get into the ring and until you stop acting like you're one of them, you'll never reach your true potential as a superstar! I gave you the chance to see clearly and you threw it back in my face so here's what's gonna happen...You ask me if I'm going to put it all on the table? YES! Will AJ stay out of it? YES! Will I still make you tap out like the fraud that you are? YES! YES! YES! YES!

As Kofi looks on satisfied with Bryans answer, Daniel jumps down from the table and sidesteps around ringside with his eyes fixed on Kofi...Screaming "YES!" all the way to the back...



....As XWL's Breakdown Supershow rolls on...

The Miz’s theme song blasts out to a shower of boos and negative chants around the arena but out steps the Miz dressed to the nine’s in a white tuxedo silencing just a few of the boos as they are taken aback by his presence and reveals what looks to be a TV set and the very return of MIZ TV!



The Miz
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, idiots and imbeciles and of course a very warm welcome to all you overweight two chair takers in the audience tonight. It’s a good feeling to be back. Back out here presenting you all with Miz TV once again, but, of course I don’t expect all of you to remember this show from last year so I’ll run over what it is I do here for you.
This is Miz TV the most exciting and interesting show ever to air in the history of television. On this show I bring out a guest from the locker room and shower them in questions and get all the backstage gossip and spread it to the world! Tonight we do have a very special guest on here tonight, I know he’s a crowd favourite and I know a lot you little XWL fans out there are big fans of his.
Well that’s tough luck isn’t it because I don’t care about anybody out there and I’m doing this for me. The only person that matters, however, I have made this show a little more interactive for you all and under your chairs you’ll find the following instructions on how to tweet your questions to me which I will select a lucky few towards the end of the show and your question will be announced on air on MIZ TV!



The Miz
I hope that covers everything and if it hasn’t then tough luck you can put together the power of thought and use your combined strength of one brain cell and figure it out yourselves. Now before I announce my special guest for tonight’s show I’ve been asked to give a public apology for not being here last week from our general manager. Well I don’t think it’s an apology you need I think it’s a reason. If you were out from under your rock two weeks ago you would of seen that I made John Cena tap to the figure four leg lock in my return match, a submission maneuver heavily criticised by Sabin’s partner Alex Shelley. Not only did I prove how well I could lock it in I proved to everybody that I could have one of the toughest superstars backstage give up due to me. So I had little left to prove in my mind anyway, then when news reached me that I was to face off with Justin Gabriel was that worth my time and effort? I think not. I didn’t see the reason in travelling for hours to step in the ring for less than 5 minutes where I beat a jobber of the company. So I passed up on that opportunity and apparently that’s breaking the rules of my “contract” or something like that.
So yeah, I guess I’m sorry I didn’t show up.
But, without further ado ladies and gents, my guest tonight is none other than the UNITED STATES CHAMPION ALEX SHELLEY!!!





The crowd goes nuts as Shelley’s theme hits and the audience are on their feet as the United States champion steps from behind the curtain with the title over his shoulder and fire burning in his eyes as he locks his sights on the Miz.

The Miz
Ah Ah Ah calm down there buddy you look a little tense. Let me just run over a few house rules I have here on my show. You need to know that if you lay one finger on me your ass is fired and that title of yours will be given to Wade Barrett!
So please Alex, take a seat if you will.

Shelley doesn’t take a seat but simply stares back at the Miz as one can only assume he just wants to get his hands on the host and get some sort of redemption for his partner.

The Miz
Suit yourself.
So Alex, we’ll kick things of nice and simple, how are things at the minute? Enjoying your time in the high life as the United States champ?



Alex Shelley
Well simple really is all you know, isn’t it? From your struggles with the simplest of moves, to your tired and worn out simple catch phrase that does a great job of showing how simple-minded you are… But I digress, I’m not here to start a fight yet; where are my manners? First off, Miz, allow me to say that it’s a real pleasure to be on your show, with your rented suit, these pleather couches and poor production values it’s no wonder Oprah up and quit knowing she had to face stiff competition from the likes of you. And as for your question, being your United States Champion for the last month or so has been great. I’ve already gotten one defense under my belt, squeezed in a few more wins here and there and it’s safe to say at this point that I’m on one of the best runs of my career and it’s only gonna get better.

The Miz
Really? Well I hope you relish in every moment of it because next week at Unforgiven Wade Barrett is going to walk out of this arena winning back the title that he should still have and I will be stood here laughing at you as you fail.

Alex Shelley
I can see where you’re coming from because the thought of Wade Barrett beating Alex Shelley with or without the title on the line is pretty funny to me too. Not “ha ha” funny but I could get a could chuckle out of it. In case you missed it while you were off working on your tan, I’ve pinned Wade twice already and I can assure you that two weeks isn’t nearly enough time for him to smarten up and make the third time the charm. This belt is staying with me and your hopes of living out and redeeming your own failed U.S. title run through Wade will die the moment The Ref’s hand strikes the mat for the three count.

The Miz
It’s a funny little world isn’t it Alex, I mean, I rarely took any notice of you in the past but all of a sudden there seems to be some sort of, mutual vibe between us. I think it has something to do with your buddy Chris. How’s the poor guy doing by the way? He walking again yet?

Alex Shelley
Ah, you know, Miz, it’s a different story every day. One day he’s walking, another day he’s crawling, and then there are the days when he doesn’t even bother getting up. Here’s the thing though, he’s getting better, Miz. Even as we speak his wounds are healing, his scars are fading, and his stomach his digesting the pancakes he had for breakfast this morning. You may think you have forever to enjoy your moral victory for putting him out of action, but the time is shorter than you think. He’ll be back soon, and he’ll be gunning for you. And if I were you I’d be worried, like the owner of an all-you-can-eat buffet when Ryback shows up, or the owner of an adult video store when Dolph Ziggler is in town, because your world will be turn upside down faster than you can screw up your own finisher, and nobody will be dancing on your ceiling… more like stomping a hole through it. I’m a bit worried for you, Miz.



The Miz
Well that’s a funny little game isn’t it Alex? You’re honestly scared for me? I don’t know if you noticed but I was the one who put him in that hospital bed in the first place, and when he’s walking again and undoubtedly comes out here to shed a tear to how much he’s missed everybody and thank you for the “get well soon” cards I will step up to the plate once again and knock him right back down where he belongs and if your insisting on keeping up this image of how well your doing I’ll come after you next and you’ll be joining your little buddy in the unemployment line.

Alex Shelley
I know that considering all of your amusing failures this year that just keep on piling up no matter how hard you try to accomplish something worthwhile, which in itself is a tall task for the likes of you, taking out Chris was the high point of 2013 for you, but really Miz? You’re here bragging about what you did as if I should be impressed that you got the better of a man that you jumped from behind. That’s like Cody Rhodes being upset when his driver’s license is revoked, or you being surprised that no one went out to see your movie. There are just some reactions that don’t make sense, and you being proud that you had to resort to a sneak attack to create a little buzz for yourself just blows my mind.

The Miz
Well if I’m going to be honest Alex all I hear when you open your mouth is “blah blah blah blah”. And quite frankly I feel a little sorry for all these parasites in attendance having to listen to your drivel. So being the host I am and looking out for the interest of the viewer’s I’m going to move on to the tweets from the audience and those back at home.
Now I know you’ve never been the sharpest tool in the box so I’ll help you out a little here Alex, I’m going to fire out some questions at you that have been asked and chosen at random from our fans in attendance and all over the world. So all you have to do is give me your reply then you’re free to leave.
Got it? I hope so because here we go.



The Miz
Question number 1, Is it true that before your wrestling career you spent 5 years as a gardner?

Alex Shelley
I did consider a career in the field way back when, but then I decided that I’d be better off just letting women tend to their own gardens.

The Miz
Did you cut your hair yourself? Well clearly so, either that or somebody who really really doesn’t like you.

Alex Shelley
You’re killing me, Miz. You hurt my partner, you insult my fans and now you try to hurt my feelings? Is there no level you won’t sink to just to get a rise out of me?

The Miz
Is it true that you and Chris Sabin formed your tag team after spending a romantic weekend in Rome to celebrate making it in XWL?

Alex Shelley
Close, but it was a weekend playing Assassin’s Creed and with how competitive Chris can get it was far from romantic. Let’s just say controllers were broken.

The Miz
Have you ever eaten at a restaurant and left without paying?

Alex Shelley
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve received a few complimentary dinners back in Detroit every now and then, but does accepting free food make me a bad person? Is that not the American Dream?

The Miz
As a kid did you collect Pokemon cards

Alex Shelley
You just can’t make up your mind can you? One second you’re putting me down and the now here you are trying to butter me up by telling me just how young you think I look. Well thank you, Miz, but that’s a question you should keep for when AJ Lee is on the show since she better fits that age group.

The Miz
Is it true that once when you won the United States title you celebrated with Sabin in a local fried chicken shop?



Alex Shelley
While that would have been fun, Chris wasn’t really in the celebratory mood because…. Well I think you have an idea of why.

The Miz
Is it true that your female idol is Lara Croft?

Alex Shelley
I’ll admit that I had ulterior motives for buying Tomb Raider back in the day, but believe it or not I prefer my idols to be a little less on the pixelated side.

The Miz
After beating Wade Barrett did you receive an English muffin as a well done present from Chris?

Alex Shelley
Is there some hidden agenda for all these food questions? I’ll have you know what I can bust out five sit-ups without even breaking a sweat and because of that my waistline has never been slimmer.

The Miz
Come on Alex only two more to go you can do this dig down deep!
Before professional wrestling did you ever street perform as a break dancer?

Alex Shelley
Nah break dancing is a bit too wild for me. I’m more about grace and finesse, but sadly Dancing With the Stars wasn’t impressed and deciding to take Chris Jericho instead. Of course he lost, but let it be known that if I was given a shot the winner of that season would have been me.

The Miz
And finally question 10 is.....
Hmm, this one I am interested in hearing your answer.
Do you think you could beat the Miz in a 1v1 match?

Alex Shelley
I know I could beat you Miz, there’s no doubt in my mind about that. But there seems to be a little doubt in your mind or else I would have been the one you attacked. After all, I’m the United States Champion, I’m the one with the target on my back, yet you decided you go after someone who did nothing to you. Unless it’s the Ersatz Tag Titles you’re after, we’re always willing to put these bad boys on the line. But then again, look what being around you did to R-Truth’s career, better yet, look what just being you did to your career, I’d be surprised if someone would want to risk being your tag partner. In or out of the ring, if you catch my drift. Now, Miz, while it’s been great being on this show and all, with your pleasant hosting and hard-hitting interview style, I have a question of my own.

The Miz
And what would that be?

Alex Shelley
Did you honestly think that your little rule was gonna stop me or that I’d put this title ahead of my friendship?

Before Miz can respond, Shelley takes a swing at him but misses as Miz ducks under and when Shelley spins around Miz delivers a swift kick to the groin and smirks as Shelley collapses to the ground. The Miz looks down at Shelley as he squirms in pain holding between his legs. Miz looks around and calls out "Wheres your buddy to save you now hey?!. In a very aggressive manor Miz begins to stomp away at Shelley not holding back one bit, he stops for a brief second and looks around with a sickening smile on his face as he pulls up Shelley's leg signalling for the figure 4 leg lock

Just as the Miz is about to lock in the figure 4 and possibly not only put Shelley's health in jeopardy but also his title defense for next weeks PPV, the lights go out, only for a couple of seconds but when they shine back to life Miz doesn't seem to lose his focus and continues with what he was about to do but the uproar in the arena has caught his attention as he looks around weary eyes until he notices why the audience has suddenly lifted the roof of the place as a dark figure stands at the top of the rope which can only be one man. Chris Sabin.



Chris slowly takes down his hood his eyes set on Miz like a lion stalking its prey. The Miz stands still with his jaw dropped to the floor looking unable to move as Sabin runs towards him and dives with his whole body taking out the man who has had him in a hospital bed for the past few weeks. Now on top of the Miz Sabin reigns down left and rights with anger flourishing in his face as he finally gets his hands back on the man who set him aside with an injury. The Miz manages to fight his way off and stands a few feet away from Chris Sabin who now has Alex Shelley stood up beside him as they both look at The Miz and slowly creep towards him and on the count of 3 they burst at him and take him down with a double shoulder tackle and begin to stomp away until security run down to break the fight up and after a tussle of around 5 security guards they manage to pull away and drag the MCMG's off The Miz to the disappointment of the audience who hail the MCMG's as they are carried out off stage.

The Miz finally makes his way back up to his feet with a bust open lip which he wipes on the back of his hand as he peers over at the camera with a devilish look in his eye as the camera fades out to black as we head to a commercial break.

Vs

Winner Via skull crushing finale:

As we come back from a commercial break the sound of Kaitlyn's theme can be heard playing throughout the arena, Nikki Bella and Natalya are both in the ring ready for their match in just a moment. But we cut over to the commentary team and see Layla adjusting her headset with a smile.



[JR]
Folks welcome back to more of tonight's exciting episode of Breakdown, as you'll notice we're not alone at the booth for this next match, we've got two very special guests joining us.

[King]
That's right JR, we've got the two longest reigning Divas Champions we've ever had, Layla and the current champion herself, Kaitlyn!

[Michael Cole]
It's certainly quite the pleasure to have you both with us tonight, how are you this evening?

Kaitlyn starts to respond, but as she did Layla attempted to as well, prompting a slight moment of awkwardness before Layla smiles over at Kaitlyn.

[Layla]
My bad, go ahead Kaitlyn.



[Kaitlyn]
I'm doing fine, I guess. Not to be a downer but I'd rather be training for the championship match I have at Unforgiven instead of out here talking. No offense to you, Layla, King or JR but I've got to make sure I'm ready for this defense.

[JR]
That's understandable, you're a very focused champion, and that's how you stay champion, by keeping your eye on the prize. What about you Layla, how are you feeling?

[Layla]
Not gonna lie, I'm a little anxious, Unforgiven is so close, yet it's not here yet, so it's a bit nerve wracking. I think that's how Kaitlyn feels as well, she's ready for her defense, she just wants it to be here already.

[Michael Cole]
Well it looks like this match is about to be underway.

The official signals to Nikki Bella and Natayla to back into their respective corners and signals for the start of the match. The two divas begin to circle one another and Natayla is the first to hold her arm out, seeking to lock up. Nikki reaches out to and interlocks fingers with Natayla however, out of nowhere, Nikki kicks Natayla in the gut and slaps her in the face with a great force.



[Layla]
Really? How disrespectful.

[Kaitlyn]
Expect anything more from Nikki? You really shouldn't if you did.

[King]
It may be disrespectful indeed, but Nikki Bella never has been one to care for respect or anything, like Kaitlyn said.



[Kaitlyn]
The only thing Nikki and her sister, Brie, have cared about is getting my championship. But we all know she has done a great job at doing that, right?

Natayla looks almost astonished, she should've expected it, she is dealing with The Bella Twins. Natayla goes chasing after Nikki Bella but Nikki backs into the turnbuckle and holds onto the ropes causing the official to hold Natayla back.

[JR]
Nikki using the rules to her advantage, can't blame her with that.

[Michael Cole]
You've got to give credit to her, she knows how to bend the rules and make everything work in her favor. That is a prime example of it right there, it may not be the most fair thing but there is nothing against it.



[Kaitlyn]
Nikki Bella.... Credit.... Good one, Cole, I always knew you were a joker.

Nikki eventually gets out of the corner after a few words with Brie and teases Natayla with a "L" sign to the forehead. Natalya walks over and gets Nikki into a headlock but Nikki reverses with an arm twist. Natayla counters this with a series of flips leading into a headspring kip-up. The Anvilette showboats by hold her hands out as the crowd applauses that beautiful conter. Nikki Bella tries to take advantage of this again and runs over to slap Natalya but Natayla catches the devious twin's hand. The Third Generation Diva slingshots Nikki into the ropes and hits her with a shoulder block as she rebounds. Natayla tries to go for the cover but Nikki scurries onto the apron. Natalya walks over to the apron and it looks as if she's going for a suplex back into the ring. She lifts Nikki up and lifts her up into the air. Natayla continues to stall, and stall, and stall, and amazingly, Natalya still has Nikki in the air. The Third Generation Diva eventually drops Nikki to the ground and goes for the cover on Nikki.

[Layla]
Whoa, talk about sheer power...

[King]
This one might be over already, Natalya's going for the pin.

1!

Kickout by Nikki Bella.

[JR]
Nikki showing some surprising tenacity there.



[Layla]
I'll give it to her, that was impressive, but this match is far from over, I know Natalya, she's the most technically sound woman on the roster....and Nikki is...well...not.

The Dungeon Diva immediately picks up Nikki from the canvas and hits her with a vertical snap suplex and showboats. She walks over to the ropes closest to the announce table and she points over at Kaitlyn and Layla mouthing "Is this really what you want?"

[Michael Cole]
A bit of trash talk directed at you two there.

[King]
And she sure looks good doing it!

[Layla]
I don't know why she's focused on us, she should be concerned with Nikki, because in an instant Brie could take her place, and Natalya wouldn't see it coming because she's too worried about us. I mean I get it, I've done it, but it's not the most wise strategy.

[Kaitlyn]
She'd only have one person to blame if it did happen, and that is herself.

She walks back over to Nikki, picks her up, and hits yet another vertical snap suplex on Nikki Bella. Right now, the Dungeon Diva is clearly in control, there's no stopping her. Natalya goes to get the cover on Nikki Bella. . .

1!

Tw. . .



[Kaitlyn]
Close, but that won't put Nikki away just yet. Natalya has to stay on the attack if she wants this win.

[JR]
We've seen how sneaky the Bellas can be, Natayla can't give them that second they need to pull a trick of theirs. Wouldn't end up good for her.

Nikki Bella kicks out yet again and Natayla seems to be getting more frustrated as. Natalya picks Nikki up and irish whips her into the turnbuckle corner. She goes charging after Nikki but Nikki comes to her senses and dodges out the way, causing Natayla to crash into the turnbuckle. The twin of the former Divas Champion takes advantage of the situation and goes for the roll up Natayla. . .

1!

[Kaitlyn]
Close! But once again, no cigar. Oh, and be I forget. Layla, how was the dinner with Kelly? You haven't talked about it all that much surprisingly.

[Layla]
What do you mean?

[Michael Cole]
I believe she's speaking of you and Kelly agreeing to meet at catering last week after your match, and somehow The Bella Twins beat you to her, attacked her, and just as you conveniently arrived, they left.

[Layla]
There's nothing convenient about it, Cole...I don't know why everyone insists on believing what just isn't true. What I did was harmless, I tried to have a chance to sit down with Kelly and work out our differences, and The Bella Twins flat out sabotaged me. Kelly won't even return my calls now, I had nothing to do with that, I wouldn't set her up like that.

Natayla immediately kicks out and pops right up but Nikki Bella hits her with a clothesline. Natayla drops to the floor and gets back up and Nikki hits her yet again with another clothesline, sending her right back to the mat. Nikki Bella waits for Natayla to get up and she irish whips Natayla into the turnbuckle corner opposite of her.

[King]
With all due respect Layla, that is something the old you would do.

[Kaitlyn]
King has a point, Layla, that looks to be something the old you would do. Not just would do, but the "old" you would be honored to do that.



[Layla]
I'm different now, you can doubt me all you want but I know those weren't my intentions. All I've done the entire last month is try to apologize to everyone, mainly you Kaitlyn, why would I knowingly ruin that? Especially after we came so far last week when you saved me.

[Kaitlyn]
I didn't exactly want to say this, but I was doing it more so to pick up the win then to save you. I went out there looking to defeat the Bellas and Natalya, not to save you or anything.

[Layla]
You still did it...

She starts charging at Natayla as it looks like she's going for a monkey flip. Nikki jumps up and screams "Bella baby!" and attempts to flip Natalya over, but Natayla overpowers her and has her in the air. The Dungeon Diva carries Nikki in the center of the ring but Nikki hammers away with some forearms to the face of Natalya. She eventually drops down, backs up into the ropes for some leverage, charges and then jumps up at Natayla, locking her arm around the neck, and hitting a jumping snapmare. Nikki Bella goes for the cover on Natayla

[JR]
She might have her here after that tremendous spree of offense from Nikki Bella.

1!

2!

[Michael Cole]
But she kicks out, proving she's a lot tougher than Nikki is giving her credit for.

[King]
Speaking of tough things, Layla there was another incident tonight that's caused some confusion in the locker rooms, it involves something people believe you once again did.

Natayla lifts her shoulder of the mat, this match isn't over just yet. Nikki Bella starts to get a little frustrated at Natayla kicking out, she hits her with a series of punches and kicks to the back.

[JR]
That's right, Mickie James was the victim of some harsh bullying earlier tonight when she found that her locker room had been torn apart, much like everything she had brought with her, and some evidence was left behind that pointed at you, Layla.



[Layla]
It wasn't me, I know it looks like it was, but you have to believe me, I had nothing to do with it. Yes I was in Mickie's locker room earlier, but it wasn't to do that....I had written a note and I left it in her bag so she'd see it. I wanted to word my apology to her as best as I could because I had really treated her so poorly over the years, I was afraid she wouldn't even meet me face to face. But I didn't destroy her stuff, someone is setting me up, and with the kind of divas that Brie and Nikki are, I wouldn't be surprised if it's them.

[Kaitlyn]
Well, as much as I want to believe it is the Bellas, no one can prove it was them. We aren't technically trying to blame you or anything, just from what is seen, signs point to you.

Nikki heads over to the turnbuckle and climbs it. She waits for Natalya to get up from the ground, she's about to go for a risky move. Natalya slowly gets up to her feet and turns around to see Nikki attempting a flying crossbody. Nikki hits it but somehow, some way, Natayla is able to power through it and get on her feet, lifting Nikki up. Natayla lifts Nikki up over her shoulder and hits a vicious Michinoku Driver and flips over. Natalya flips over onto her feet and looks down at Nikki and then at Brie on the outside. She points to Brie and mouths something that the cameras didn't seem to catch. Natayla walks over to Nikki's legs and it looks as if she's going for the Sharpshooter. Natayla takes one leg and then the next but before she can lock it in, Brie Bella hops up on the apron and starts screaming "Let my sister go!" Natayla lets Nikki go and heads over to Brie. Brie attempts to slap Natayla but Natayla catches it like earlier and fakes a punch, which scares Brie. Brie flinches but before she can properly react, Natalya dropkicks her legs and Brie Bella drops and crashes face first on the apron.

[King]
Ouch! That one right there just had to of hurt!

[JR]
You can say that twice. Brie went crashing into that apron and someone should make sure she is okay.



[Kaitlyn]
She'll be fine, trust me on that.

[Layla]
Besides she's not supposed to get involved in this match, it's Nikki versus Natalya, that's the problem with those two. They can't just leave well enough alone, they have to stick their nose in everything.

The crowd surprisingly cheers for that little encounter in which Natayla got the upper hand. Natalya heads back over to Nikki Bella, hoping to finish the job, but Nikki kicks Natayla in the shin, dropping her to her knees. Nikki kicks her agin, this time in the face, causing Nattie to drop to the floor. Nikki Bella drags Natayla by the hair onto the middle rope and proceeds to choke her with the ropes as the referee counts.

[Layla]
Do something ref, last time I checked choking someone is against the rules.

[JR]
But rules were meant to be broken Layla, that's a strategy even you followed before.

[Layla]
Before yes, but that doesn't make it right. You don't see Kaitlyn choking everyone that comes after her title.

[Kaitlyn]
She has a point, but only because I've speared everyone who has come after my title. Right Layla, you'd know about that.

Nikki lets go at the 3 count as the referee reminds her that choking is illegal. Despitre the warning, Nikki chokes Natayla yet again, this time to the 4 count. The referee backs Nikki up and this time warns her that if she does it again, she'll be disqualified. As the referee talks to Nikki, Brie is now up and gives Natayla a huge slap to the face and brags as the crowd boos her.

[Michael Cole]
Brie Bella with a huge slap to Natalya when the referee wasn't looking!



[Layla]
Are you kidding me? Is it impossible for Brie just to stand there while her sister fights her own battles? Unbelievable.

[Kaitlyn]
Layla, this is the Bella Twins. Stop getting so "I didn't expect them to do that" or whatever. They cheat, it is as simple as that.

Natalya and Brie have a staredown as from behind, Nikki runs at her but quick as a flash Natalya gets out of the way causing Brie to fall off the apron! Nattie goes for a quick rollup on Nikki but it's only a two count, she waits for her to get up and goes for her spinning nat by nature clothesline but Nikki ducks it and then rakes her in the eyes. Nattie is in pain from Nikki's cheap tactic before she is thrown shoulder first into the steel turnbuckle! A yell can be heard from Natalya as a sick thud is heard when her shoulder connects with steel. She pulls herself out of the corner as Nikki goes for a splash in the corner but Nattie ducks it and then goes for an Oklahoma slam. She holds her up with her good arm and slams her down, she walks to her legs and hooks both of them! She's set to go for the Sharpshooter!

[King]
Natalya's trying to lock it in!

[Layla]
This might be it, that's one tough hold to break.

[JR]
But she's gotta get it locked in first.

[Kaitlyn]
It's not as hard as it looks, I would know. It's a painful move but you just have to know what you are doing when you get locked in.

Despite Natalya's efforts Nikki pulls herself to the ropes as Brie yells for Natalya to let go.



Natalya lets go as she leans out through the ropes trying to hit Brie but the referee pulls her back and tries to restrain her, but when the ref has his back turned Nikki slyly rolls out of the ring and Brie slides in!



[Layla]
Did you just see that! They just switched! I'm tired of those two pulling this crap on everybody, I'm putting a stop to this right now!

[King]
Layla, I don't think-

[Kaitlyn]
Let her go, King, I'm sure she knows what she is getting herself into.

The sound of headphones being taken off can be heard as the fans pop when Layla gets up out of her seat and walks up to the ring pulling Brie out of the ring! Brie goes for a slap but Layla blocks it and drops her with a slap of her own.

[Kaitlyn]
Ouch, that has to have hurt.

[Michael Cole]
You can say that again, but it doesn't look like Layla is going to stop there.

She grabs Nikki by the hair and throws her back in. Natalya gets away from the referee and shouts at Layla saying "What are you doing? Sit down!" Layla climbs onto the apron trying to prove her innocence as she can be heard saying "I was helping you! They were trying to cheat!"

[JR]
I don't know if Natalya just doesn't realize Layla was helping, or she just doesn't want her help. Natalya is a tough diva, but I'm unsure if she could handle them switching like that.

[Kaitlyn]
She can, without a doubt she can. Nattie has to get her head back into the match and stop worrying about Layla.

Natalya walks up to Layla unsure of what to think when she suddenly drops her with a clothesline off the apron! The fans can be heard boo'ing as the innocent Layla is taken down, Natalya turns around to a quick kick in the gut followed by a Bella buster!



Layla gets up and puts her hands on her head as the referee counts Nikki's pinfall!



1!

2!!

3!!!



The fans boo as Nikki quickly rolls out of the ring taking Brie by the arm as they head up the ramp together both doing their signature "L" pose as Natalya gets up to a knee and runs her hands through her hair in frustration. She looks back at Layla with a look that could kill as she's still outside before rolling out of the ring herself and walking up the ramp angered, not turning back at all.

*We return from the commercial break as the theme of the Money In The Bank winner, Christian, begins to play throughout the arena. The crowd cheers and a couple of seconds later, Christian makes his way out from the back with a microphone already in his hand. He stops at the top of the stage, looking out into the crowd before raising his microphone to speak.*



[Christian]
So two weeks ago I kinda lost something that was important to me, and no I'm not pulling a Shawn Michaels by saying I lost my smile, but my briefcase was stole from me. CM Punk did something I should have seen coming, I let Paul Heyman strike a nerve and I've regretted that since the second I was hit over my head with the briefcase. It's kinda funny once you look at it, Punk stooping to that much of a low to get the briefcase because of how jealous he is. Jealous because I have the briefcase and he doesn't. Jealous because I'm going to be a future World Heavyweight Champion while he will continue to sit in the shadows of the back, making an appearance every now and then. After realizing this, I realized that CM Punk is just like every other man I have encountered in my career. Take a guy like Carlito...

*The crowd boos Carlito.*

[Christian]
He was jealous that I was in the money in the bank ladder match and he wasn't. I even won the World Series, proving that Canada is a pretty damn good wrestling country, and he still thought I didn't deserve it. It always boggles my mind with things like this because people are confusing, it's as simple as that. But CM Punk, on the outside this man may seem different then anyone I've ever gone against but on the inside, deep deep down on the inside, he is just like the rest. Nothing special about him, nothing different about him. He is just like everyone else except for the fact his ego rises above all. I've fought the beast that is his ego and I've tamed the beast that is his ego at Dead Man's Hand. I've beat Punk before and the score is tied. He has one win from a Redemption show I think it was a while back while I've got one win from Dead Man's Hand.



[Christian]
I suggest that we have one more match, see who the real winner is. CM Punk has one win over Christian while Christian has one more win over CM Punk. We need this to be settled because at the rate this is going, I'm unsure if things will ever end. And I don't want Paul Heyman to answer for Punk, I don't want any other manager Punk may have enlisted because I want Punk to answer the challenge. Let the voice of the voiceless speak his voice because his voice is the only one I want to hear saying "I Accept" either later this show, through some XWL.com exclusive or whatever. I'm without a match tonight, I've got all the time in the world to wait. I can take a chair, sit right near the curtain and wait there all night because after this I won't have any reason to do anything else.

*The crowd cheers on Christian.*

[Christian]
I know you'd eventually pass by me. Just look at it out there, a ring, a microphone and an audience. The three things you just love to have. You love to put on five star matches. You like running your mouth and having people hear you run your mouth. Right there is a perfect calling for CM Punk and I'm not going to wait and let you get away from me this time around. I found all of this to be fun and games before, getting the chance to mess with someone who calls himself "the best in the world" was pretty fun and all. Note it was, but you just had to take the fun and games into something more serious. You turned fun and games into personal issues and jealousy, something I can make you soon regret. Don't believe me? Just go re-watch Dead Man's Hand and look at how I beat you, despite being double teamed by yourself and Paul Heyman.



[Christian]
I'm giving you till the end of tonight's show to somehow accept my challenge. I'd love for you to just say it to my face but we can't get everything you want, sometimes a man just has to sit down and face facts that the other man doesn't want to confront you face to face. Sometimes he wants to hide behind his chubby manager and a few security guards before getting in his face. I could always take the somewhat cheap way out and just get Hulk Hogan to make the match official and if needed, I will. But what would make me happy would be to hear it from the mouth of the man who claims to be the voice of the voiceless... Talk about how you don't have a scratch on you or any marks, blemishes, whatever. Revenge is a dish best served cold, Punk.

*Christian lowers his microphone before heading to the back. We then fade to commercial break.*

*Breakdown returns from a commercial break as Chris Sabin is seen looking out into the distance, with no signs of Alex Shelley nor the Ersatz Tag Team Championship in his possession, unaware of the cameraman approaching him. Sabin is possibly thinking about his return to XWL at the expense of the very same man who took him out at Dead Man's Hand. He hears the footsteps of the cameraman getting closer to him, causing him to look down, before letting out a deep breath and beginning to speak.*



{Chris Sabin}
Do you know what it's like sitting on the sidelines for the better part of a month, knowing that there's nothing you could do to the man that put you there in the first place? I do, it's a feeling I know a little too well. The Kings of Wrestling, does the name ring a bell? I wouldn't blame you if you don't know who they are, but it's a name that has been etched in the back of my mind since Supremacy last year. That was the night the Motor City Machine Guns were supposed to return to XWL to take on Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro, but that's not what happened, I was taken out beforehand and AJ Styles had to take my place.



{Chris Sabin}
That was the night I made a promise to not only myself, but also to Alex. A promise that I would always be at his side, ready to fight alongside my best friend regardless of my condition. A promise that I had kept, up until Dead Man's Hand last month. That's where you come in, Miz. You attacked me when I went to go congratulate my best friend after he became the United States Champion. You locked in a Figure Four Leg Lock on me and applied it incorrectly, might I add. Miz, you tried to take me out and as much as you want to believe that you know how to do a Figure Four, you don't because if you did, I wouldn't be standing here right now.



{Chris Sabin}
You hate everything I stand for, you hate everything I fight for, you hate me for being Chris Sabin. The feeling is mutual, Miz, because as much as you despise me, you know that I'm the better wrestler and that angers you. You can't stand the fact that you will never hold a candle to my ability in that ring, that's why you tried to take out Alex as well, isn't it, Miz? Jealousy doesn't look good on you, Miz, neither did that white suit you wore earlier tonight. You can spin this any way that you want to but as superior as you think you are to everybody else, you're nothing more than a coward who couldn't get the job done.



{Chris Sabin}
Miz, you tried to take out a guy who has gone to war with a pack of Wolves and won, you tried to take out a guy who's one half of the Ersatz Tag Team Champions. You believe that I'm no threat to you, you think that I don't take anything seriously, Miz, the fun and games were over when you decided to make me your target. It's true, I like to play Guitar Hero with Alex on my free time, I like to run up stairs then tragically trip and fall all the way back down, I still have yet to get my revenge on that squirrel that sneak attacked me at the park, but come Unforgiven, all that gets thrown out the window. I was just informed moments ago that you and I have a match, Miz. One match, that's all I need to prove that you can't beat me when we're face to face.



{Chris Sabin}
All the pain you have caused me both physically and mentally, Miz, will come back to bite you in the end. All the sleepless nights, all the hours I spent laying in a hospital bed, feeling vulnerable, and all the anger that I have bottled up inside, it will all be unleashed at Unforgiven. Everything that you've done to me and everything you've done to Alex will be all I need to put you down for good. What was supposed to be the night all our problems disappeared became nothing more than a night where a new set of people made us their targets. Miz, in six days, I'm going to finish what you started and you won't know what hit you because you brought a knife to a gun fight.

*With that said, Sabin walks out of the view of the camera and begins to make his way to another part of the arena, possibly to locate his tag team partner and the other half of the Ersatz Tag Team Champions in Alex Shelley. The echos of Sabin's footsteps begin to fade into the empty corridors as the screen fades to a video package highlighting the matches that will take place at Unforgiven.*

Carlito usually a laid back personality in the XWL locker room comes out from behind the curtain to the usual protocol of boo’s and negativity in the audience but Carlito usually bites back and gives them another reason to hate him but this week he looks tense and a lot seems to be on his mind.



Carlito walks up the steel steps and enters the ring already with a mic at hand wearing casual clothes and just looks into space for a good 10 second before putting the mic to his lips, taking and deep breath and starting to talk.

Carlito
It still shocks me to how disrespectful not only all of you are, but even the workers of this company. I’m not going to sugar coat what I have to say by dancing around the point and wasting my time, so I’m gonna get right to it. I’m sick to death of being over looked. Constantly in the shadow of somebody of a lesser ability than me, I’ve been here since November and proven to everybody here in XWL and all of its fans that I am a great talent, that I can hang with the best people in this company and that I can come out here and cut a promo. I can get any reaction out of you guys that I want if I tried. I come into this ring and I’m like a puppet master.



Carlito
I work hard, I put the effort in that is a lot more that can be said for other people around here, I put in time when I’m busy with other important stuff in my life, even when I have no time at all I always find a couple of hours here and there to perfect my moves, work out in the gym, even cut my pre match warm ups slightly short to come out here and stand where I belong. Well I’ve had enough of it and clearly nothing was gonna happen with the people in charge running this company the way they are so I’m gonna see if any of the REAL STARS of this company have what it takes to go toe to toe with me. I mean if this is what it takes then I’ll sure as hell do it if it’s what I’m going to need to prove myself.



Carlito
How about your little pretty boy Ted? Do you have what it takes Ted? The underdog of the year who fought he his way back into employment and ran straight back into your open arms. Do you have what it takes to step inside the ring with me? Because I sure as hell know that I will knock you flat on your back and beat you. Will that catch the front pages of the newspapers? Maybe if I shoot down your hero I’ll be the new villain? That will definitely get attention so maybe if the targets on your head DiBiase thats what will benefit me the most.

Carlito
Maybe not however. Maybe head in the route of shutting down the most unstable head in this company in Dean Ambrose I’ll get noticed. Maybe, just maybe, if I can prove to everybody here that I’m able to go to the depths of the dark side and go toe to toe with Ambrose the company will see just what I can lay on the line and how insane I truly am. But then again, who’s gonna care if I beat up the XWL mental patient? I’m sure that’s illegal in some states.



Carlito
On the topic on mentally unstable superstars how about that Randy Orton eh. He obsessively had his delusional mind set on Kane for a long time but could never beat him. I still see that poor guy lurking around the shadows of the locker room always on edge, always looking around like somebody’s following him. The poor guy is a mess. But his talented I’ll admit. I think Orton should be my target. I honestly believe that if I can prove to the board of this company that I can stop such a dangerous character and stop somebody who is so delusional and unstable, if I can overcome such a big hurdle that there is no other option than to give me a big push right? So there we have it. Orton, I hope you’re listening, and not to those little crazy voices in your head, listen to me. I officially challenge you to a match next week at Unforgiven. You may friend are going to be the stepping stone I’ve been looking for, for a while now.

With the challenge made to Orton, Carlito a little less tense then before he stepped into the ring walks back up the ramp looking proud of his handy work.

XWL returns live and can see CM Punk standing in the ring with a microphone in hand, with Paul Heyman standing behind him with Christian's Money in the Bank briefcase proudly held high in the air for the World to see.



[[Punk]]:: It appears that our dear old friend Christian has had some time reflect upon the past couple of weeks and in doing so he appears to have finally grown a set and challenged me to a match at Unforgiven. It’s funny, I’m curious as to why he had to wait until now to issue the challenge. Were you debating the idea in your head, wondering whether to actually go through with it because we all know you could’ve went down this route earlier in the evening when you were busy pretending as though you don’t have a care in the World with Kassius Ohno. You hide away last week, you pretend you don’t have a care in the World and then suddenly the time for playing is over and you issue the challenge, it doesn’t strike me as the actions of a confident man. You have failed to strike fear into my heart and there is no doubt in my mind but once again you have shown to myself and the World just how naïve and foolish you truly are.



[[Punk]]:: When I was waiting for my perfect opportunity you had no problem telling the World your lies and rumours, you could hear the pride in your voice because you had even convinced yourself that your false reports were true. It was sad to see and then only a few moments later I wiped the smile off of your face and the XWL Universe’s face when I took your prized possession and beat you to a pulp with it. You can try and put any spin on it you like, you can claim I’m jealous that I never got the opportunity but at the end of the day that is as true as your previous lies. Truth is I simply don’t like you, you don’t deserve to be World Heavyweight Champion because to be quite honest you haven’t earned that luxury. All you are is the village idiot who happened to strike gold and is now the talk of the town but I’m the reality check that you most certainly deserve and let me be the first to tell you that you do have another in store for you.



[[Punk]]:: But when you were spreading your lies, I may have been down but I was certainly not out and I came back and shown the locker room and the World that CM Punk is not out and should never be underestimated. While you, you hide away for a week gathering your thoughts after I humiliated you on International television and took what you feel you have fought so hard for and all this is all you can come back with? A little speech about how I’m just like everybody else and that you’re going to beat me again? Not quite the same effect is it? I didn’t have to resort to lies, I didn’t have to resort to trying to hurt your reputation because quite frankly you succeeded in that task yourself. All I had to do was point to reality, to show the World the situation as it unfolded and how there hero abandoned them to try and gather his thoughts and for the better past of two weeks these people have been waiting, just itching for the moment when you will run through those curtains, retake what is yours and give me the beating of a lifetime but you haven’t provided that have you? All you have provided is yet another threat, yet another lie in your ever growing list of how you will beat me where as I provide the truth.



[[Punk]]:: And truth is you can’t beat me because you have already beaten yourself. You can point the finger elsewhere and claim that I am just like everybody else. When everybody knows that it could be further from the truth, love me or hate me I don’t care but you cannot deny that I am the single most dangerous force that has ever been in this company. You want to try and figure me out, you want to claim that I am just a walking ego with nothing else? Let’s put the shoe on the other foot, shall we? You can try and act big and tough as though you are not fazed in the slightest but the events that have occurred over the past few weeks, you can put on a brave face and smile for these people but the truth is nobody is buying it. We all know you are hurting, we all know you are embarrassed and that is why you couldn’t provide us with nothing more than idle threats and disappointment. You can try and hide it but on the inside you are a shell of your former self, nothing more than a bitter ex tag performer who has sold out to gain the approval of these people and despite never really making an impact other than your flash in the pan title reign, you somehow find yourself undeservingly gifted opportunities which you ran with and I don’t blame you for doing so but other than your lucky victory over myself, who else note worthy have you defeated? I can rack my brain for weeks trying to think of the answer but truth is there is nobody else, you fall at the last hurdle when the time truly matters and you can’t get the job done.



[[Punk]]:: All of that is weighing on your brain, all of this is adding pressure onto your shoulders and you can try and talk the big game but you’re fighting an uphill battle. The odds are against you, your foothold is crumbling beneath your feet and your time in the spotlight is fading fast. The World would have already lost interest in you if not for me, I am your lifeline and your saving grace and I am what keeps the light shining above your head. The World may hate me and I may have very few allies but at the end of the day I make the news, I’m the person that everyone talks about because when I get on this microphone or inside this ring there is not another person in this World who can do what I can do. You can claim it is all ego but at the end of the day if that were true I would not be the standard in this company, I would not have achieved what most have to dream about to be able to reach and I wouldn’t be what everybody in this company and everybody aspiring to be apart of this business strives to be.



[[Punk]]:: I am the best thing that this company has ever witnessed and the only person that is bitter around here is yourself, bitter about the fact that you’ve never reached the same heights as I have, bitter about how your one true to chance to capture your dreams lies in my hands and you are unable to use it. You came out and you liked to talk the big game but you missed the issue at hand and that is your briefcase, the one thing that you want in this World and I will commend you for trying to fight for it and truly earn it but it will never fall into your hands again. I accept your challenge for Unforgiven and after I beat you, I might just keep this little briefcase for myself because the whole World knows that I will put this to better use than you ever could. So walk out at Unforgiven, hold your head high and try your best to keep the doubt out of your mind because you don’t want to be embarrassed again. Continue to claim that I am no more than an ego, make your jokes, bring your wife and try and gain the advantage but when all is said and done you can’t there won’t be a scratch on me, you have tried before and you have failed and I will just keep bouncing back and you can try whatever you like, use any advantage that you can think of but you still can’t leave a mark on my face because your arms are just too short to box with God. I want you to keep a little something in mind, replay it over and over again until the thought sickens you because as long as I am apart of this company you will never become World Heavyweight Champion. My words are gospel, my actions are just and there is not a single thing you can do about it because I am CM Punk, you can doubt everything I do but I will prove to you what we already know and that is I am better than you, whatever you try, whatever scheme you pull it will all be in vain because I am the Best in the World!

Breakdown returns from the commercial break and we see John Morrison working out, doing his usual parkour training. He is approached by an XWL interviewer as he exercises.



[Interviewer]: John, if I could have a moment of your time. . .

John Morrison doesn't respond. He continues to do his pull ups despite the interviewer's request.

[Interviewer]: John, just a while ago, we saw Alberto Del Rio make you tap out and just last week, The Shield attacked you right after your match with Christian. . .

The Intercontinental Champion stops what he's doing and drops down to the floor. He turns around, but at first, his hair covers his face. John lifts his head up suddenly and reveals a rather unpleasant face to the interviewer.



[Interviewer]: Uh. . . thanks for your time John, it was a pleasure.

The interviewer scurries away and John Morrison gets up and smirks. John proceeds to resume his Parkour, he starts to run down the hallway and hop over several bars. The champ flips over several crates, right now he's doing all this Parkour to get his anger out, these past few weeks havem't been his best.



John reaches down the hall and takes a rest break. He heads over to the catering table and takes a bottle of water, pops it open and begins to drink it. Morrison seems to be making his way to his locker room when someone taps him from behind causing Morrison to spring action quickly. . . John quickly sees who it is and stops what he was about to do. . .



[Vickie Guerrero]: Woah there, John! Let's settle down now. It's only me, the General Manager of Redemption, Vickie Guerrero. I'm not The Shield, I look nothing like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns or Dean Ambrose.

[John Morrison]: I can see that. It's just a natural reaction,sorry for frightening poor ole' Vickie.

[Vickie Guerrero]: Trust me, I could never be frightened by you, I mean you do look just like Shakira, why should I be scared?

[John Morrison]: I'm sorry, I seem to be forgetting who I'm talking to, I can't put my finger on it. You remind me a lot of Ms. . .

[Vickie Guerrero]: Don't say it!

[John Morrison]: Pig. . .

[Vickie Guerrero]: Don't say it John!

[John Morrison]: It's Ms. Piggy!

Vickie Guerrero lets out a shriek causing John Morrison to cover his ears with his hands. At this point, Vickie must be tired of being compared to Ms. Piggy.



[Vickie Guerrero]: I'll let you know that I've lost a considerable amount of weight. Call me what you want but at least I'm not like that whore of a girlfriend Melina. Who hasn't she slept with?

John starts to clench his fist but realizes who he's dealing with and how he would never stoop that level of hitting a woman.

[John Morrison]: How professional of you Vickie and you really wonder why people around here don't respect you. Let's cut to the chase, you approached me, you probably have something important to say I'm guessing. . .

[Vickie Guerrero]: I move at my own pace, don't rush me. But anyway, last week, The Shield attacked you in that ring like a pack of wolves, there was nothing you could do. I know you haven't forgotten about it already. Since it happened on Redemption, I'm here to offer you a chance to get your hand on one memeber in particular. . . Seth Rollins! You two will be going one-on-one next week on at the annual Unforgiven PPV. And John. . . your title will be on the line.

John Morrison stares down at Vickie and nods his head. He casually leaves the scene as Vickie Guerrero stands there and smirks.



[Vickie Guerrero]: Good luck John, it's not like you've never pinned him. . . oh right, it's never happened.

Vickie Guerrero begins to laugh very evil as John Morrison heads into the locker room and Breakdown fades to the black. . . .
