*A camera shows to a backstage area only minutes following the Inferno match, after a moment two men shoot by in a hurry. The camera swings over to see Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez, Del Rio showing signs of the grueling match he just went through being helped along by Ricardo.

{Cameraman}
Alberto! Congratulations on the big win, but you look like you are in a lot of pain. Can you hope to even compete in the Elimination Chamber later tonight?

*Del Rio's face shifts from pain to anger.



{Alberto Del Rio}
Yes. I just got back from the trainer and although they said I was done for the night I told them ¡Vete a la mierda! Tonight, I ended all of this and now get to go onto the next chapter of my career. A demonless haven where all that matters is wrestling for the biggest prize this company can offer, it's all about the wrestling and not about some vengeance factor. But this evening, that match, there was nothing more important and there might never be because that match offered something amazing, something called closure. It's closure in the most barbaric, and evil sense to exorcise this demon, I had to light him on fire....I had to burn him alive and make sure once and for all he leaves myself and more importantly Ricardo alone. He took this to that next level and that level was too far, too much and he payed the price.



{Alberto Del Rio}
Now I will exorcise the demon of myself always failing when the lights shine the brightest. I exterminated the Devil's Favorite Demon once and for all, and saved anyone in the future he may have harmed, saved Ricardo even it came at the sacrifice of some flesh, if it had cost me some seared skin I wouldn't have cared. I rid this company of you Kane and now I will do whatever it takes, WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to win this next match. I will beat the other 5 men and then I will go into Monster Bash where I will beat Chris Jericho or Dolph Ziggler and win my first championship here in XWL! I've made Jericho himself submit in a title contest before, as a matter of fact my arm breaker cost him a title reign to The Rock. Dolph, you may be "The Show Off" but if it is you I end up facing the only thing you'll be showing off is a brand new, hot pink arm cast when I make you tap out and take your championship. It's almost time for the culmination of my retribution to you fans, and I'll put an exclamation point on it at Monster's Bash.

{Cameraman}
But Del Rio, you can barely stand how do you plan on coming out with the victory?



{Alberto Del Rio}
Retreat, defeat, surrender are not words in my vocabulary. I plan on walking into that chamber, not giving those who oppose me a pulgada. I will stand my ground, capear el temporal, and strike when I find the time is right. Then, I will show everyone who's doubted me that it's my time here in XWL. Along time ago I said that it was me destiny to lead XWL, to be the pristine example of this company but back then I didn't realize what it would take to get to la parte superior de la montaña but now I have the tools to show that I truly am the best in that ring and I deserve the World Championship.

*Alberto Del Rio cringes with pain prompting a response from the cameraman.

{Cameraman}
Thank you for your time and I'll let you get some rest before your next match, good luck.

{Alberto Del Rio}
De nada, and like I said earlier, thank you but I won't need it.

*Del Rio turns and tries walking on his own but stops in pain and Ricardo walks over to assist him the rest of the way to the locker room.

The bell rings signaling the start of the handicap match.

Christy Hemme
This is a three on one handicap match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 650 pounds. The team of Matt Striker, Primo, and Epico!!!



Epico, Primo, and Striker enter through the curtain to the crowd's cheers. They give out high fives as they make their way down the ramp and into the ring.

Christy Hemme
And the challenger, weighing in at 291 pounds, hailing from Sin City.. The… Ryback!!!!



The Ryback slowly enters through the curtain, glaring at his prey. He slowly raises one arm FEED, then the other ME, he repeats two more times before slamming his hands to his side as Pyro shoots up behind him MORE.

King
Wow. The Ryback looks hungry! Even after helping the West Side Army defeat The British Invasion earlier tonight.

The Ryback stomps his way down the ramp and leaps up onto the apron. He enters the ring and shouts RYBACK.. RULES.. as pyro shoots out from the ring corners.

JR
I would not want to be Primo, Epico, or Matt Striker right now.

Primo begins to shout at The Ryback as his cousin and Matt Striker hold him back.

King
Primo looks all riled up. He seeks justice for what The Ryback did to his brother Carlito.

JR
Yeah, well it looks like all The Ryback seeks is a fight. Plan and simple.

King
And then there's Matt Striker. How would you feel about having to go up against The Ryback in your first match in the XWL.

JR
I'll tell you one thing King, I don't envy Matt Striker right now! Sure, he used to be a wrestler, sure he has heart, and sure, he's one of the smartest that this company has to offer. But I doubt that that, even with Primo and Epico, will be enough to stop the West Side Armies Monster.

Striker and Epico hop onto the apron as the ref signals for the match to start.

King
Here we go!

Primo immediately charges at The Ryback but is met with a big boot to the temple for his efforts!!!

King
GOODNIGHT!!! That looked painful!!

The crowd lets out a huge "ohhhh" as Primo lays motionless on the canvas. The Ryback sneers and turns his attention to Epico and Striker, egging them on.

King
After that I wouldn't be too eager about getting in the ring with The Human Wrecking Ball!

Epico finally builds up the courage to jump over the ropes and into the ring. He charges at The Ryback, dodging under a punch as he runs past his opponent. He hits the ropes and rebounds back towards the monster, this time leaping over The Ryback. He runs the ropes once again, only this time on his return he finally caught by the monster and slammed to the mat with a back breaking spinebuster!!!

King
That didn't look like it felt too good!

The crowd "ooohhhh"'s again as The Ryback turn around to taunt Matt Striker, but Striker is one step ahead, leaping off of the top rope and connecting with a dropkick!!!!

King
The Ryback's off his feet!!

The crowd goes wild as Striker begins to deliver elbows, knees, and kicks to The Ryback, stopping the monster from getting back to his feet… but only for a few moments as The Ryback's power is too much, and he shoves Striker off and into the ropes where he is tagged by Primo who springboards off the ropes, nailing the monster with a flying elbow! Primo then tags his cousin in and suplex's him from the apron onto the grounded Ryback!! He goes for the pin…..1… Kick out!

King
That's not even close to enough to keep The Ryback down!

Epico goes to lift The Ryback to his feet but is snatched and powered onto the monster's back!

King
Here it is!!

The Ryback hits the Boulder Holder!!!! He goes for the pin…1…..2.. It's broken up by Primo!!!! The Ryback angrily throws Primo into the corner as Epico slowly rolls out of the ring and onto the floor. The Ryback begins to slam his shoulder into his prey's ribs over and over. He then irish whips Primo into the other corner, causing him to groggily stumble back into the center of the ring where he is met with a Vertical Suplex Powerslam!!!!!

King
That's it!!!

The Ryback begins to stomp around the ring, mouthing off to anyone that will listen. He then turns his attention back to his prey, picking him up by his head, but Primo has the wherewithal to floor The Ryback with an enziguri!!!

King
Wow!! That was either out of desperation or instinct, but it sure worked!!!

Both men are down!! The crowd begins to go wild as Primo slowly crawls to Striker, who has his hand out for the tag, frantically waving it around!!

King
Just a few more inches!!

The crowd can barely contain themselves as Primo gets closer to Striker. He is fingertips away when…

King
Wait… what??!??

The crowd lets out an ear splitting wave of boos as Matt Striker takes his hand away last second and hops off the apron, leaving Primo on his own.

King
Did that just happen!?!

The crowd continues to boo Striker as he laughs and makes his way up the ramp. Back in the ring The Ryback is in the corner, back to his feet. FEED ME MORE… FEED ME MORE…. FEED ME MORE….. MEATHOOK CLOTHESLINE TO PRIMO!!!!! The crowd lets out a huge "ooh" as Primo is spun from the force of the clothesline! The Ryback taps his head and signals that he is about to end it. FINISH.. IT…. The Ryback lifts Primo onto his shoulders in position for the Shell Shock and begins to stomp around the ring, showing off his strength. The crowd lets out a cheer though as Epico is back up and on the top rope, behind The Ryback who can't see him. As The Ryback turns around Epico leaps towards the monster, only to be floored with a Big Boot!!!!!!! The Ryback looks down at the crumpled up Epico and shouts STUPID!!!!! He then puts Epico on his shoulders as well and hit the Double Shell Shocked as Striker watches on from the stage!!!!…1….2…..3…..



The Ryback has his hand raised as he celebrates his win. Striker smirks as he disappears to the back.

*We shift to the backstage area where Chris Jericho is shown, a confident expression on his face ahead of his World Heavyweight Championship match in tonight's main event.*



[Interviewer]
Chris Jericho, tonight you go one-on-one against World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler for the title.  Care to share your thoughts ahead of this huge match-up?



[Chris Jericho]
Huge match-up?  Let me tell you something.  This isn't a "huge" match-up.  This is just another match to me.  I excel in big-match situations and nobody has been more consistent over the last few years in main event situations than me.  There's a reason I'm the King Of The Ring and why I have yet to be pinned for this entire year, a reason that Dolph Ziggler will be forced to accept when I defeat him later on tonight and once again become World Heavyweight Champion... and that reason is that I am the best in the world at everything I do.



[Chris Jericho]
And unlike Dolph, I actually back up everything that I say.  Just like last week when I said I would defeat the Intercontinental Champion John Morrison for a third time and I did just that.  Why am I not standing here right now as the Intercontinental Champion?  It's obvious to me there's an underlying hierarchy involving favoritism, or maybe it's just that XWL management are delusional, only ever seeing what they want to see, and focusing on whoever they want to focus on.  And John Morrison is clearly one of the favorites around here... only ever putting his title up for grabs against mediocre competition.  He isn't one of the greatest Intercontinental Champions of all time, despite what he and everybody else thinks.  His entire reign is an embarrassment to all the reigns of the former great Intercontinental Champions, including my own.  What kind of a champion remains champion after three consecutive defeats to the same opponent?



[Chris Jericho]
Maybe I'll get the chance to once again bring that title back to the level it should be at someday, but for now, my focus is on the biggest prize this business has to offer, because it's only fitting that I reclaim my rightful spot at the top of this industry.  Ziggler's own embarrassment of a title reign will come to an end tonight.  I promise you that.  He's done nothing to show me that he's capable of posing any kind of threat to my inevitable regaining of the title so tonight will be all about damage limitation for Dolph.  



[Chris Jericho]
How exactly can he recover from two failed title reigns?  Especially considering how I will be humiliating him with my masterclass of dominance tonight and how his other reign was ended at the hands of Cody Rhodes, who has since sunk right back into the abyss of mediocrity.  Dolph is already a walking embarrassment and I wouldn't be surprised if tonight is the last we see of him in XWL.  I wouldn't want to show my face around here after yet another crushing defeat... not that I would know anything about that.



[Chris Jericho]
But tonight is the night that everything is put back the way it was.  I never should have lost the World Heavyweight Championship in the first place and I should never have had to jump through hoops to get my rematch.  But it will all be worth it once my arm is raised in victory and my title is once again around my waist.  Now if you don't mind, I have a match to get ready for...

*The screen fades to a promotional video of XWL Superstar Triple H.*

*Familiar music begins to play.  The arena which was electric just moments ago in anticipation of the next match-up quickly descends into a mood of negativity, with boos aimed at the top of the entrance ramp.*





*AJ Lee appears with a grin on her face, the complete opposite reaction to the boos that you would normally expect.  She begins joyfully skipping down towards the ring, seemingly oblivious to the masses jeering her.*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well, um, I guess this show needed some more craziness.

[Jim Ross]
Don't let AJ hear you say that King.  This young jezebelle definitely has a few screws loose and is as much of a hellcat as anyone I've ever seen.

[Michael Cole]
She's not even scheduled to be on this show!  What is she doing here!  And why is she wearing a suit?

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
I have no idea but I guess we're about to find out.  Maybe she forgot she's a wrestler... what?  She is crazy after all...



*AJ enters the ring and stops in the middle, a serious expression on her face.  As her music dies down the boos seem to intesify.  AJ tilts her head a little and the grin returns before she raises her microphone to speak.*



[AJ Lee]
I bet the question on everyone's mind right now, is "why am I out here wearing a suit?"  Let me answer that.  I'm not just wearing this suit because it's a really nice suit.  I'm wearing a suit right now to show that not everybody that does is a hypocrite.  I'm wearing a suit to get the attention of the "suits" that run this god-forsaken company and to stand up for myself and for the good of the Divas Division.

*AJ's tone is one of seriousness and she clearly means business tonight.*



[AJ Lee]
I mean, just look at the Divas Elimination Chamber farce.  That sums up the Division perfectly.  Why are the women of this company treated so badly?  You go ahead and you book a historic, ground-breaking match and then you cancel it right away?  Where's the logic in that?  Besides having six of the most undeserving women scheduled to step inside the damned thing, I don't see the logic in cancelling it.  Unless it was to add me to the match of course, but we all know that's not going to happen because I'm constantly overlooked.  Why is it that I'm always forgotten about or left to rot on the sidelines?  I'll tell you why.  It's because I don't take the crap you throw at me and I don't prance around here showing my skin to help get cheap ratings.

*The venomous words bring out an almost hushed silence from some members of the audience.*



[AJ Lee]
You might find it hard to believe, but I'm actually here to make a name for myself and take the Divas Division back to the level where it should be.  I want to regain the Divas Championship and become the spearhead for a new generation of women who can once again grasp the attention of the fans and bring interest back to female wrestling.  But every week I'm faced with some kind of obstacle or some kind of brick wall and I'm always being held back.  Why don't I have a match on this Pay-Per-View?  Actually, when was the last time I had a match on a Pay-Per-View?  Only the "suits" can answer that one...  

*AJ sarcastically shakes her head before continuing.*



[AJ Lee]
Nobody has been more impressive than I have since I ditched that bearded freak Daniel Bryan and branched out on my own.  I came damn close to defeating the longest reigning Divas Champion, my former bestie Kaitlyn, and I've gone on to defeat everyone else put in front of me.  And for those of you who were too busy stocking up on hot dogs and alcohol during the pre-show, I was out here kicking the asses of three of XWL's so-called "top" Divas in the pre-show Battle Royal... which I won of course.  I wasn't even supposed to be here tonight but I turned up after driving hundreds of miles and I demanded a match... any kind of match... or I would have quit right there..



[AJ Lee]
Obviously, the "suits" caved because I'm "pretty".  They caved for the wrong reasons.   Pre-show or not, capacity crowd or almost empty arena, I still gave it 110% just like every match I compete in.  Unlike the other Divas I don't half-ass anything when it comes to competing or letting my voice be heard on this microphone.  I wanted to be here and I wanted to compete so I made it happen.  Just like I will make myself the face of the Divas Division.

*A fire burns in AJ's eyes as her self-belief reaches unprecedented levels as she continues setting out her goals...*



[AJ Lee]
The shackles are still on and the glass ceiling is still there, but trust me when I say this:  Sooner or later, I will break free.  There's no holding me back.  Throw me another pink slip and I'll rip it up in your face.  Fail to book me and I'll turn up anyway and put on the match of the night.  You can only deny me my opportunity for so long.  Whether it be a few weeks or a few months from now I will once again become Divas Champion.  And then, all you shady "suits" running this company had better sit up and take notice of me for the right reasons.



*AJ drops her microphone as her music hits and the same large smile she entered with returns.  She starts to exit under a noticeably quieter blanket of boos, almost as though some of her words had been accepted by the XWL Universe.*

[Jim Ross]
Crazy or not, AJ certainly knows how to grasp the spotlight.  The fans here took notice of what she had to say, but one has to wonder if her words will have any consequences from the higher ups in the near future.

[Michael Cole]
Well, some of her words had truth to them JR.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
But most of what she said was just AJ whining and complaining about being left out of things.  She's acting like a spoilt child if you ask me.

[Jim Ross]
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens next when it comes to the always unpredictable Miss Lee...



*AJ skips up the entrance ramp, almost as if nothing had just happened, as though she had done a lap of the ring and was just completing it.  She disappears behind the curtain as the historic Eye For An Eye Pay-Per-View rolls on...*

*Eye For An Eye returns from a short video package highlighting the upcoming match and how it came to be before it comes to an end as the theme of Dean Ambrose begins to play throughout the arena to an array of boos and jeers. The camera scans the crowd in an attempt to find Ambrose but after a few moments of searching, it doesn't appear that it succeeded in finding the psychotic wrestler. Instead, Ambrose comes out from the stage as more boos rain down on him but he doesn't come out alone.*



*With him, is a shopping cart full of weapons like a trash can filled with a couple kendo sticks, a few signs of differing sizes, a couple trash can lids, as well as a steel chair and the items inside the trash can that can't be seen instantly. Ambrose stands on the stage, alongside his shopping cart full of weapons, and looks out to the crowd, who are still hostile towards him. A smirk comes across his face before he begins to push the cart down the entrance ramp, fully aware that he's heading into one hell of a fight against RVD.*

*Ambrose makes it to the bottom of the ramp and begins throwing in weapons from his shopping cart into the ring, littering it with stuff he could use against RVD and in turn, have used against him. He climbs up onto the apron and extends his arms as far apart as they would allow. He begins to crack his neck before he removes his jacket and tosses it aside, entering the ring. He looks down at the pile of weapons at his disposal and decides to go with a trash can lid to start off the match. Ambrose drops down to a knee and begins to look at the stage, awaiting the arrival of his opponent, Rob Van Dam, as his date with immortality draws near.*



*Ambrose stands in the ring, ready to bring the fight to Memphis, Tennessee as the theme of Rob Van Dam begins to play throughout the arena and it gets a positive reaction from the crowd. Ambrose has a trash can lid in his hand as he looks towards the stage, waiting for Van Dam to come face to face with immortality. Van Dam’s signature pyro shoots off as the camera focuses on the stage, expecting Van Dam to show up. Seconds pass following that as there is no sign of Van Dam. His theme still plays as Ambrose seems to grow impatient, that is until a small part of the crowd begins to cheer and it grows louder. Cameras focus on that part to see Van Dam standing up at the top of a stair case, looking down to the ring that holds Ambrose in it. Van Dam isn’t alone though as in his hand contains a weapon of his own, a Singapore cane! Van Dam raises it and points to Ambrose who stands in the ring before making his decent to the ring, mocking Ambrose in a way during his time with The Shield.*



[Jerry Lawler]
The tides have turned for Ambrose! Learning how it feels to be in the ring while a significant other enter from the crowd.

[Jim Ross]
It’s more so others then other. That cane that Van Dam has isn’t one I’d want to get on the bad side of, especially in the hands of the ECW Veteran.

*Van Dam makes his way down the steps, reaching the bottom as he continues his march to the ring. Ambrose could be heard shouting “C’mon Rob, immortality doesn’t like to wait” towards Van Dam as he makes his way closer and closer to the barricade that surrounds the ring. He takes a second before stepping up onto it, making sure he has his balance before raising the Singapore cane up and pointing it at Ambrose. Van Dam jumps off of the barricade and begins to make his way up the steps as Ambrose charges at him once he reaches the apron. Van Dam swings his cane at Ambrose who nlocks it with his lid, causing Ambrose to stumble back just a little as Van Dam leaps over the top rope and the match is set to begin even though it kinda already started but deal with it people.*



*Van Dam approaches Ambrose and swings his cane again but Ambrose once again blocks it with his lid, saving himself from being attack. Van Dam takes a few more swings, causing Ambrose to back into the corner with nowhere else for him to go. Van Dam lifts up his cane once more to go for a hit but in that time, Ambrose takes his trash can lid and hits him across the gut, causing him to drop the cane.  Ambrose repositions the trash can lid in his hands as he lifts it up and connects with hitting Van dam across the back. He takes another swing, dropping Van Dam to his knees. Ambrose tosses the trash can lid to the side, this time he goes and picks up the actual trash can this time. He waits for Van Dam to get to his feet before shoving the trash can on his head, quickly grabbing the kendo stick afterwards. Ambrose looks at the cane before taking a swing to the trash can that has Van Dam’s upper part of his body in it. Van Dam doesn’t fall until Ambrose goes for a second, rough, shot with the cane again. Van Dam falls with the trash cans till on him as Ambrose stands above him, laying down a beating as he continues to smack the trash can with the Singapore cane. Ambrose slowly takes one last shot before now throwing the Singapore cane to the side, now done with that weapon. Ambrose drags Van Dam out of the trash can and goes for a pin. One… Two… Thr- Kickout! Ambrose going for the early win turned out not to be too successful.*



*Ambrose quickly hits Van Dam with a strong boot to the side of his head, not letting him get a breather following that ruthless attack delivered by Dean Ambrose. Ambrose then grabs a small pouch that lies with the weapons that he has to open it up and he pulls out a piece of barbed wire!  Ambrose kicks Van Dam back to the ground, making sure he is lying on his stomach. Ambrose gets down onto the mat as he locks in his own version of the Yes lock, but instead of using his hands to lock the face of Van Dam, he wraps the barbed wire around his forehead, digging it deep into the skin. The move is locked in and Van Dam is starting to bleed while Ambrose is heard shouting “How's that feel, Rob?” as he begins to apply a little more pressure into the hold, waiting for Van Dam to tap out but Van Dam has no signs of tapping out as he tries to fight his way out. He can’t quite get out as Ambrose eventually lets him go, knowing that won’t put Van Dam away that easily.*

[Michael Cole]
These two better be ready to wash the ring after this match! No body is going to want their blood on it for the rest of the show!

[Jim Ross]
Knowing these two, we may just need a whole new ring. Would save money and time.

*RVD is shown holding his forehead after that variation of an already deadly hold is made more painful due to barbed wire being thrown into the mix. He looks down to his hand as it's already dripping with blood and looks up to the crowd. RVD's face is almost a crimson mask as blood pours out of the wound inflicted by the barbed wire. Ambrose is shown unwrapping the bloody wire from his hands as a look of satisfaction appears on his face in the shape of a sick smirk. RVD struggles to his feet this early into the match and Ambrose easily notices it. He finishes unwrapping the barbed wire from his hand and tosses it outside the ring, almost taking his time as he circles RVD's body, like a vulture would do to its prey.*

[Jerry Lawler]
Ambrose is truly a predator looking for his next meal. Just look at him!

[Michael Cole]
And it's safe to say Van Dam is his prey. Not counting Rob out just yet, but Ambrose is out for blood; as much as he can get.

*Ambrose looks at his blood filled hand for a second before wiping it across his chest, almost as if he's accomplished one of his goals, which was to taste RVD's blood tonight. RVD makes it up to his knees and somehow is able to keep himself from falling down to the canvas. Not being one to back down from a fight, RVD puts up his hands in the shape of fists, almost like he's telling Ambrose to bring it. Ambrose does just that, catching him with a closed fist across the jaw, one that looked like RVD didn't try to block. “Is that all you got?” Ambrose shouts at an obviously dazed RVD before delivering another closed fist and follows up, “Come on, Rob, I thought you were Hardcore!” Another punch meets RVD's face, this time, nearly knocking him onto his back.*

[Jim Ross]
Talking gets you no where, Dean! Don't get ahead of yourself!

[Michael Cole]
Are you kidding me?! He has the right to gloat! He is beating Van Dam within an inch of his life!

*RVD straightens himself up and mouths, “Is that all you got?” Ambrose cracks his neck in response to RVD's question and walks over to the side of the ring that's filled with weapons that he tossed in earlier, pulling out a steel chair before walking back over to RVD. Ambrose holds the chair in his left hand and shouts back, “I'm just getting started!” before landing one final punch. RVD remains on his knees, surviving the onslaught but it seems that the worst is yet to come as Ambrose now has the steel chair wielded with both his hands. He begins to raise the chair up into the air but only raises it up a few inches as it's all he could do before RVD hops up to his feet and hits a jumping back kick on the steel chair, knocking it right into Ambrose's face, causing a thud to echo as Ambrose's skull meets the chair at full force.*

[Jerry Lawler]
Cole, JR told you so! Ambrose got a bit too cocky there and he paid the price for it!

[Michael Cole]
Oh be quiet for once! Van Dam had his moment to shine, now just watch Ambrose continue to punish him like he was before.

*Ambrose releases his grip on the chair and holds his skull as he falls onto the canvas. RVD stumbles back to his feet, still feeling the effects of everything that has been thrown at him thus far and shows no signs of backing down from Dean Ambrose. RVD picks up the chair he just used against Ambrose and jumps into the air, quickly placing the chair under his legs as he falls across Ambrose's chest with a leg drop. The damage of the move is amplified thanks to the chair and it does Ambrose no favors as he is now holding his chest after RVD rolls backwards and is back to his feet. It's only for a second as he's back down on his knees when he drops down for the cover.*

1...

2...

Th- Kickout!

[Jim Ross]
Close, but no cigar. Can't count either of these men out just yet, they just have the will in them to not give up; especially in a hardcore match.

[Jerry Lawler]
One of these two men will have to give up eventually. Which one will it be? I couldn't tell you, not even a clue of who'd give up first.

*RVD makes it back to his knees and looks at the referee to make sure that it wasn't a three count. His suspicions are laid to rest when the ref holds two fingers up. RVD nods his head and rolls out of the ring through the bottom rope, leaving Ambrose alone in the ring, still downed. RVD begins searching under the ring for a few moments before he finds what ever it is he is looking for. He begins to slowly pull something out from under the ring, quickly revealed to be a ladder. A roar of cheers and approval emit from the live audience in attendance as RVD slides said ladder into the ring past Ambrose. RVD sees that his opponent for the evening is still down and decides to not only catch his breath for a moment but also plays to the crowd, doing his signature taunt, in which the crowd joins in with a “Rob! Van! Dam!”*

[Michael Cole]
Taunt all you want, Rob! You saw what happened when Ambrose decided to gloat!

[Jerry Lawler]
But this is Rob! Van! Dam! We are talking about, asking him to gloat is like asking you to not be annoying! It just isn't happening!

*But before it could be completed, Ambrose has sprung up from the canvas the second RVD turned his back to him and has already ricocheted off the ropes on the opposite end of the ring. With a full head of steam, Ambrose makes a beeline towards RVD and uncharacteristically flies out of the ring through the middle rope with a suicide dive, knocking RVD into the barricade, causing him to bounce off of it before landing on the thinly layered padding on the outside and sending himself into the barricade with the remaining momentum. RVD holds the back on his head while he lays on the ground, as that's where Ambrose was able to hit him. Ambrose, on the other hand, seems to be favoring his shoulder as he tries to use the barricade to make it back to his feet.*

[Jim Ross]
A toll is starting to be taken on these men, one will have to give up before they aren't able to wrestle for the rest of their lives.

[Jerry Lawler]
And Ambrose is young too, would be a shame to see a kid with a bright future stuck in a wheelchair or a hospital bed for the rest of his life.

*Ambrose makes it to a knee and slowly places his seemingly hurt left shoulder over it to lift himself up faster. A few fans tap in on the back and shoulder, causing him to throw his arm up into the air to tell them to stop, but ends up doing more harm than good as his right hand quickly finds its way to said shoulder. He begins shifting his hand from a fist into an open palm repeatedly in an attempt to bring some feeling back into his arm and shoulder. After a few moments of tending to his wounds, Ambrose shifts his attention back to the task at hand and begins making his way towards RVD, who is now on all fours, crawling towards the apron to use it to lift himself up. Just as he reaches his destination, Ambrose creeps up on RVD and stomps on his exposed hand, causing RVD to raise it up towards his chest and holds it in his other hand. A small amount of blood is trickling onto the padding on the outside, forming a small puddle under RVD's forehead, showing that RVD has been in the same location for a small period of time. Ambrose pays the blood no attention and kicks RVD in the gut with a swift kick. Ambrose follows up by grabbing the back of RVD's head with a handful of hair and hovers his foot over the small puddle of blood, placing it on the side of RVD's head. In one swift motion, the length of Ambrose's boot slides across the side of RVD's head before he stomps on the puddle of blood, causing some to splatter on the ring skirt while RVD holds the side of his head in pain.*

[Michael Cole]
We are going to need some stitching done after this match. These men are taking one another to hell and back right now!

[Jerry Lawler]
You can say that again! The fans are loving this though!

*After following up with a punch to RVD's jaw, Ambrose takes the slightly blood soaked ring skirt and throws it over RVD, following up with a relentless assault of knees that are driven into RVD like there's no tomorrow. One has to believe that RVD is trying to cover up under the ring skirt but at the rate the knees are being driven into him, will covering up really do anything? After what must feel like an eternity to RVD, the knees cease and RVD falls on the padding, face first and seemingly out of it. A smirk comes across Ambrose's face, fully aware that he is once again in the drivers seat and his cocky side once again shows itself when he shouts, “Not so tough now, are you?” at RVD as he looks down at him.*



*When it seemed that Ambrose would continue his assault, he stops in his tracks when he sees RVD barely managing to stay on his hands and knees while being awfully close to the ring steps. The look on Ambrose's face says it all, a semi crazed expression as his eyes lock on RVD with ill intent. A smirk is the only sign that shows what Ambrose has in mind when he begins to back up as much as he can before he runs back first into the barricade. He drops down to a knee, almost measuring up RVD for what ever he has in mind for RVD. It becomes apparent when he makes it back up to his feet and lowers his knee pad before he raises his arm halfway up into the air in the shape of a gun. With a flick of his wrist, Ambrose “shoots” his target and makes a beeline towards RVD. Ambrose draws closer and closer to hitting one of the moves that he's been known for since his return: the Knee Trembler.*

[Jim Ross]
We've got a hint of Regal right there. Can't say he'd be too pleased with Dean's actions, but he is one hell of a wrestler, gotta give him that.

[Jerry Lawler]
Love him or hate him, you've got to agree. He is one of the best we got and he is for sure to soon hold a championship in this company.

*Just when it looked like RVD would meet his end on this night by being driving skull first into the ring steps, courtesy of Dean Ambrose, RVD narrowly avoids contact with Ambrose's knee when he uses all his remaining strength to roll himself forward and causing Ambrose to drive himself knee first into the steel ring steps, flipping himself over said steps in the process. RVD avoids certain defeat using his quick thinking while Ambrose lies on the opposite side of the steps, holding his knee as his plan has backfired, possibly and inadvertently shifting the momentum back into RVD's favor.*

[Jerry Lawler]
Ouch, that didn't look too pretty. That could be the opening Van Dam needs though to win this!

[Michael Cole]
Or he'll lose like he has all his other matches since returning... What!? I'm just stating some facts! He hasn't won since returning, it's safe to favor Ambrose in this!

*Van Dam takes a moment to gather himself before making his way over to Ambrose who is struggling to get to his feet following that rough shot into the steps. Van Dam begins to force Ambrose up onto his feet before dragging him to the barricade, draping him over it with his head facing the ring as Van Dam makes his way over to the apron. He steps up onto it and turns around, looking down at Ambrose before raising his arms up and doing his signature taunt before diving off the apron, connecting with a leg drop to the back of Ambrose as he falls off the barricade and onto the mat below, next to Van Dam who somewhat quickly gets to his feet.*

[Michael Cole]
Vintage Van Dam there!

[Jim Ross]
Vintage Van Dam indeed. He nearly took Ambrose's head off!

*Van Dam pulls Ambrose back up, pushing him into the ring while following close behind as he goes for the cover on Ambrose, looking to pick up the win here. One… Two… Thr- No! Ambrose kicks out! Ambrose won’t stay now, after all Van Dam has thrown at him, he just won’t stay down. Van Dam sits on the mat, a little surprised that he didn’t get the pin there as he holds two fingers up to the referee with a confused look on his face, making sure it was a two count before using the ropes to get to his feet. Van Dam backs up into the turnbuckle, giving himself a breather while Ambrose is still down for now. After a couple of seconds pass, Van Dam begins to make his way over to Ambrose, pulling him up but Ambrose then pokes Van Dam in the eye, causing him to back off. As Van Dam starts to get his sight back, Ambrose grabs the trash can lid and takes a second to measure before for chucking it like a Frisbee right towards the head of Van Dam. Right when you think it was going to hid Van Dam, he somehow manages to catch it at the last second! Van Dam looks at the lid before looking back at Ambrose and says ‘Dude, close one, but you it’s all in the wrist’ before throwing it back at Dean this time.*

[Michael Cole]
This is a wrestling match! Not a Frisbee match! C'mon Dean! Stop playing games!

[Jerry Lawler]
At least you could actually win a Frisbee match. You'd have been down and out after the first punch!

*Dean catches it and quickly throws it, but not at Van Dam, but towards the referee to see if he’d catch it but instead it hits him right in the face! The crowd cheers as the two of them look over at the referee before both of them say ‘Damn’ at the same time. Dean looks back at Van Dam as Van Dam looks back up at Ambrose. Van Dam is the first to move as he begins to charge at Ambrose while Ambrose, in desperation to stop him, picks up a stop sign that was in his pile and holds it up while shouting ‘STOP!’ Van Dam stops in front of him as Ambrose smirks but the smirk is soon wiped off his face as Van Dam connects with a Van Daminator with the stop sign! Ambrose stumbles backwards and falls out of the ring as Van Dam walks over to the ropes, following him close behind, as he steps down onto the mat.*

[Jim Ross]
Well, I guess Dean listened to himself. Stopped him right in his tracks.

[Jerry Lawler]
Stop, drop and roll if I do say so myself. He stopped, he dropped and he rolled right on out of that ring.

*Ambrose continues crawling around the timekeepers area as RVD takes a hold of his leg and begins to pull him out of his seemingly failed hiding spot. RVD succeeds in pulling Ambrose out but is quickly met by something being spit on his face, and it's quickly revealed to be a Steveweiser that Ambrose pulled out of Stone Cold's cooler that resides in the timekeepers area, temporarily blinding RVD. He stumbles backwards, shielding his eyes, as Ambrose makes it back to his feet and grabs the kendo stick that was under the bottom turnbuckle. He quickly smacks RVD across his back and takes a sip of his Steveweiser, before taking another shot with the kendo stick then another sip. He repeats the process a few more times until RVD has found his way to the barricade.*

[Michael Cole]
C’mon JR, this is the part where you yell “STONE COLD! STONE COLD”!

[Jim Ross]
…What?

*He slaps his knees a few times in an attempt to get some feeling back into it before shouting at the ref, who as seemingly recovered already, “Hold my beer!” as he hands it over. The ref has no choice but to comply and carefully holds on to Ambrose's Steveweiser. Ambrose places the kendo stick near the corner barricade and shifts his focus back to RVD as he lifts him up to his feet and throws his arm over his head. Ambrose lifts up RVD and places him on the barricade, similar to how RVD did to him a few minutes ago. A few shots to RVD's midsection later, Ambrose walks towards the ring and scales the apron, backing himself up until his back gently taps the ring post. Ambrose raises his arms into the air, mocking RVD's taunt before pointing at himself with his thumbs a few times while shouting, “Dean! Am! Brose!”*

[Jerry Lawler]
Dean! Am! Brose! Better not get too cocky before it comes back to bite himself in the rear end!

[Jim Ross]
I think he has everything under control. Dean Ambrose knows what he’s doing right now.

*Ambrose runs on the apron before flying off of it and catching a doubled over RVD with a unique variation of the Knee Trembler. RVD's body falls forward onto the thinly layered padding while Ambrose rolls through but seems to have hurt himself almost as much as his opponent as he's holding his already hurt knee. Ambrose struggles to his feet and begins to forearm his knee a few times when he makes it back to his feet in an attempt to bring some feeling back to it. It doesn't seem to work so he begins driving his knee into the barricade for a moment, before stopping as that seems to have done the trick.*

[Jerry Lawler]
This man really is crazy! I have no idea what it will take to stop him!

[Michael Cole]
Probably a stack of Pancakes would get Dean out for the count. Who doesn’t like Pancakes?

*RVD remains lifeless in a small pool of his own blood on the outside while Ambrose snatches his Steveweiser out of the refs hand and picks up the kendo stick once more before climbing up on the corner barricade, looking out to the crowd. He extends his arms outwards, a kendo stick in one and a Steveweiser in the other, and takes a long gulp of the beer before smacking himself across the head with the seemingly empty can, drawing blood from his forehead after his self inflicted wound. Ambrose spits out the beer from his mouth and raises the kendo stick into the air. RVD takes exception to Ambrose mocking the actions of one of his friends and uses most of his remaining strength to dive at Ambrose, pushing one of his legs out from under him and causes him to lose his balance. He has nowhere to go but down as he lands split legged on the barricade.*

[Jim Ross]
Taking shots at some ECW Legends won’t get you anyway Mr. Ambrose! Keep your eye on the prize if you want to win this!

[Michael Cole]
And that shot he took didn’t look too pretty, wouldn’t be surprised if any chance of a Baby Ambrose is out the window now.

*Blood begins making its way down from the cut on his Ambrose's forehead and begins to fill Ambrose's face like a crimson mask, covering the look on agony on his face. Just when it looked like RVD was going to capitalize on the situation, Ambrose, whether inadvertent or not, falls off the barricade and lands hard on the padding outside the ring. RVD lets out a disappointed sigh and lifts Ambrose up off the floor before tossing him back into the ring. RVD slides into the ring shortly after and is met by a wild haymaker to his jaw, nearly knocking him out cold on the spot. Ambrose takes a moment to gather his breath and lifts RVD up to his feet before dragging him to the nearest corner and begins smashing his head on the top turnbuckle repeatedly. After a few shots, RVD is able to stop himself from going head first into the turnbuckle by placing his hands in front of him and delivers a calculated kick to Ambrose's jaw, causing him to release his grip and falls backwards in a seated position. Ambrose holds his jaw and looks at his hand, noticing fresh blood in his palm. Blood begins to exit Ambrose's mouth as he feels it going down his jaw and dripping onto his chest. The expression in Ambrose's eyes quickly changes to one filled with malice intent for the man responsible for causing him to bleed from the mouth: Rob Van Dam.*

[Jerry Lawler]
Look at his eyes! He looks like he’s ready to kill!

[Jim Ross]
Someone better call the security then, because this won’t be too pretty.

*With RVD recovering from the hellacious match he's had so far, he doesn't notice that Ambrose has made it to his feet and gets leveled with a forearm to the back of his head, dropping him down to the turnbuckle. Ambrose begins unloading a series of forearms, punches, and elbows, in no specific order, to a fallen RVD. He tries to cover up the the onslaught is just too much for him to successfully block. Ambrose begins taking a few steps back, possibly to put an end to this match, but stops himself from running forward as a look of anger fills his face, almost as if he's not done inflicting enough pain on his opponent just yet. Ambrose quickly escapes the ring and pulls up the ring skirt, searching under the ring for something to use against RVD. After a few moments of searching, Ambrose pulls out a bag and slides it into the ring before he himself rolls back into said ring. He begins to unzip the bag and pulls out a bowling ball, raising it into the air for the crowd to see. Ambrose kicks the bag aside and drops down to a knee, almost measuring RVD while holding the ball up to his face. With the ball in his right hand, Ambrose raises his left hand up in the shape of a gun, quickly flicking his wrist upwards in a “shooting” motion, and stands back up, winding the bowling ball up before releasing it towards RVD. The ball rolls across the ring to its target as RVD shakes some cobwebs from his head and notices the bowling ball headed towards him but it's too late for him to react as the bowling ball catches him between his legs, causing him to squirm around holding his groin.*

[Jerry Lawler]
Talk about a seven-ten split! Right!?

[Michael Cole]
…… Shut up!

*Ambrose raises his arms into the air and shouts out, “Strike!” and begins to walk around the ring with his arms still raised, almost as he's proud of his accomplishment. The ref is shown holding his own groin as he has to have felt that while Ambrose drops down and goes for the pin.*

1...

2...

Thre- Kickout!

[Jim Ross]
What’s it going to take to keep Van Dam down!?

[Michael Cole]
…. Well, maybe Van Dam likes pancakes too.

*RVD is able to get his shoulder up just a split second before the refs hand hit the mat a third time, causing a now livid Dean Ambrose to argue with the ref, giving RVD a much needed breather. It doesn't last long as RVD is thrown out of the ring near the entrance ramp while Ambrose follows suit shortly after. Ambrose grabs RVD in a headlock and begins to drag him up the ramp with one arm while the other is placed on the handle of the shopping cart he brought to the ring and pulls it up the ramp as well. About halfway up the ramp, Ambrose pulls the shopping cart in front of him and holds on to the opposite end before using a considerable amount of strength to push it up the ramp and towards the stage. RVD uses this moment to punch Ambrose in the gut a few times but he's met with a few elbows to the back of his neck for his troubles. Now on the stage, Ambrose decides to land a few knees to RVD's abdomen before throwing him into the minitron on the stage, causing RVD to lie seemingly lifeless on the stage. Ambrose begins to walk over to Van Dam, bending down next to him while shouting “You think this is a game?! Let me show you a fun game while you’re here!” Ambrose grabs Van Dam by his pony tail and forces him up to his feet. He forces him over to the shopping cart and lifts Van Dam up, enough to place him sit him down into the shopping cart. Van Dam doesn’t seem to know what is going on as Ambrose says “Have fun, Robby!” before pushing the cart, causing it to roll down the ramp. The speed begins to increase and at the end of the ramp, the cart loses control with Van Dam in it as it sends Van Dam and the cart crashing to the floor at high speeds as Ambrose looks on with a smirk on his face while a chuckle escapes him.  The fans boo as Ambrose begins to walk down the ramp, all casual as if there was no care in the world until he reaches the bottom where Van Dam lies. He squats down next to him and places his hands on his knees as he says “I enjoyed that game Rob, how about you?” pausing before saying “Oh, you want to play that game again?” His mood changes to a more serious mood as he gets to his feet and finishes off by saying “Fine by me”*

[Jim Ross]
No! He can’t do that again!

[Jerry Lawler]
You can say that again. These men are starting to get desperate to win!

*Ambrose forces Van Dam back up to his feet, placing him back in the shopping cart before manning the back of it. He begins to push it back up the ramp, taking his time to reach the top. He eventually reaches his destination and begins to align Van Dam back up but Van Dam comes to his sense and begins to elbow Ambrose from behind. Ambrose lets go of the cart to get out of range of the hits as Van Dam manages to get out of it. Ambrose goes to attack but he is met by a fury of forearms and elbows from Van Dam as he looks to be having a comeback right here. Ambrose pushes Van Dam away as he looks to get away from him, attempting to catch his breath but Van Dam follows him to the side of the stage. He tries to play possum to get the upper hand over Van Dam with a clothesline but Van Dam ducks it and kicks Ambrose in the midsection which sends him staggering back a few steps. Van Dam connects with another single kick to the guy which sends Ambrose back a little bit more, right on the edge of the stage with a long fall behind him. Van Dam takes a step back as he lines himself up before connecting with a huge superkick! Sending Ambrose off the stage and back first onto the concrete floor below!*

[Jim Ross]
Bah Gawd! He nearly killed the man! We need some medical attention out here!

[Michael Cole]
You can say that again! Ambrose could be hurt!

*A backstage medical staff member comes out from the back and is looking to go check on Ambrose but before he can, his lights are knocked right out as Van Dam connects with a swift kick to the side of the staff member’s head! He collapses to the floor as Van Dam looks down at Ambrose before taking a few steps back, raising his arm and in unison with the crowd, he shouts “ROB! VAN! DAM!” before going forward, tucking down into his signature roll before leaping off the stage and connecting with a rolling thunder from off the stage and on to Ambrose! The crowd bursts into insane amounts of cheers as Van Dam sits on the concrete floor next to Ambrose; a little winded after hitting that move from the stage as he raises his head to look up at the cheering crowd.*

[Jerry Lawler]
We’ve said it before and we will say it again; these men will do anything if it means picking up the win here tonight!

[Michael Cole]
As you saw right there, anything includes diving off the stage! Something most stars in the back would never think of doing!

*Van Dam crawls over to the barricade where he uses it to get to his feet, slowly but surely. He gets to his feet and gets to his balance as he looks over at Ambrose who is still on the ground, clutching his ribs after that super rolling thunder from the stage. Van Dam limps his way over to Ambrose, forcing him to his feet before carrying him over to the ramp. He carries him down the bottom of the ramp, tossing him down at the bottom as he takes a moment to look back at the top of the stage where the shopping cart rests. An idea seems to go off in his head as he stands Ambrose up and against the apron, making sure he is balanced before he begins to make his way back up the ramp and to the shopping cart. He reaches the top and aligns the cart with Ambrose before taking a few steps back. Van Dam gets a running start before hopping onto the back step of the cart as he is looking to squash Ambrose at full speed!*

[Jim Ross]
He’s going to make him into a sandwich! Is Rob crazy!?

[Jerry Lawler]
No… But if he wants a sandwich, he must be hungry!

*Van Dam is about to hit Ambrose but before Van Dam gets to the bottom, Ambrose moves and grabs the Singapore Cane from out of the ring. Van Dam can’t stop in time as Ambrose swings and the stick slaps Van Dam right across the face, knocking him right off the shopping cart as he goes crashing into the floor below. Ambrose leans up against the apron and kendo stick, using it to keep his balance as he looks down at Van Dam, letting out an evil little laugh as he begins to conjure up some signature Dean Ambrose ideas in that sick and twisted brain of his.*

[Jim Ross]
This man is as sick as they come, who knows what he has going on in his head right now.

[Michael Cole]
I'll tell you, he's thinking of all the ways he could take out Rob Van Dam then do the one he likes the best.

*Ambrose enters the ring and begins to push weapons and the like out of the way until he digs out a steel chair from the pile of weapons, placing it a couple feet from the turnbuckle. He takes another chair and places it a few inches away from the first one. Ambrose now shifts his attention to the ladder that RVD brought into the match earlier and drags it to the contraption he's making before lowering it down between both chairs, almost making a platform. Meanwhile, outside the ring, RVD has begun to slowly recover from his failed attack on Ambrose before being pulled into the ring by his hair. Ambrose drags RVD towards the ladder and places him on it, landing a few forearms for good measure.*

[Michael Cole]
It looks like this is the one he chose.

[Jerry Lawler]
This won't end well for either man

[Jim Ross]
You're telling me, King, this will get bowling shoe ugly in a few moments.

*With RVD now laying on the ladder, Ambrose exits out to the apron and begins scaling the turnbuckle, uncharacteristically. He makes it to the top rope and balances himself on it for a moment before once again stealing RVD's signature taunt and flies off the turnbuckle, getting a good amount of height while he soars through the air with a Five Star Frog Splash. RVD sees it coming and has other plans that include him rolling off the ladder, causing Ambrose to collide abdomen first into the steel, nearly breaking the ladder in half. RVD decides to take a page out of Ambrose's playbook and quickly pulls him up off the ladder, lifting him up to his shoulders. RVD adjusts Ambrose on his shoulders before dropping him onto the canvas with Ambrose's own move: The Midnight Special! He quickly follows up with a cover.*

[Jerry Lawler]
Did he just...

[Jim Ross]
I think he did, King. Turnabout is fair play.

[Michael Cole]
That man is a thief! Somebody call the cops on this man!




1...




2...




3! NO! Kickout!

*At the final possible second, Ambrose's shoulder comes flying off the canvas as if his life depended on it and is able to break the count, keeping the match alive. Ambrose holds his ribs while laying on the mat, as it's apparent that he's hurting after that missed Five Star Frog Splash attempt. RVD looks up at the ref in complete disbelief, almost unsure of what he just witnessed: Ambrose kicking out of his own finishing maneuver. The look on RVD's face says it all, the time for games is over and if he wants to walk out of this match as the victor, then he has to kick things up a notch.*

[Jim Ross]
It looks like it's RVD's turn to come up with something sick and twisted to do to Dean Ambrose.

[Jerry Lawler]
But what could he do, JR, Ambrose has said before that he's been stabbed in the lung with a screwdriver. How do you top that?

*RVD rolls out of the ring through the bottom rope and throws up the ring skirt, searching for something to aid him in this war against Ambrose. He can't seem to find what he's looking for on that side of the ring and walk around to the adjacent side and throws up that ring skirt. The more time RVD spends looking for what ever it is he's looking for, the more time Ambrose has to recover. RVD eventually does find it after searching under the ring a third time and pulls out a board filled with barbed wire on the top side of it. The live audience in attendance loudly cheer as they know what's coming next as RVD slides it into the ring.*

[Jim Ross]
That's how you top it, King.

[Michael Cole]
Oh come on, is this what RVD has to resort to in an attempt to put Dean Ambrose down for the three count?

[Jerry Lawler]
It's Dean Ambrose, Cole, sometimes you have to think outside the box to beat someone as crazy as him.

*On the opposite end of the ring, Ambrose is trying to make it up to his feet using the ropes but is having trouble as he's still feeling the effects of his abdomen meeting the ladder at full force, unaware of what RVD has in store for him. RVD pulls the ladder out from in between the chairs and tosses it out of the ring then pulls the chairs a bit more further apart so he could rest the barbed wire board on it. He walks over to Ambrose and drags him in front of the modification of the contraption that Ambrose built and lands a swift kick to his jaw, leaving him dazed before he drops down to a knee. RVD quickly hops onto the top rope and is met with a closed fist from Ambrose, who somehow managed to hit his mark while being seemingly out of it. Ambrose shakes some cobwebs from his head and begins to scale the turnbuckle, mounting the second rope.*

[Michael Cole]
Good job, Rob, you didn't even check to see if Dean was really down.

[Jerry Lawler]
Looks like Ambrose was playing possum.

[Jim Ross]
Or maybe this plays into RVD's hand, ever think about that, Cole?

*Ambrose is the first to strike with a few forearms to put himself in the drivers seat but one stray kick from RVD puts those plans on hold as he flies off the turnbuckle but is able to roll under the barbed wire board and ends up on the other side with a chair in hand. He tosses said chair right at a recovering RVD, catching him across his head with it, causing him to nearly lose his balance. Ambrose takes advantage of the situation and pulls out his trusty lead pipe that was concealed in his boot, charging RVD and hitting him on the side of the head with it, possibly knocking out his rival. Ambrose climbs back up the turnbuckle and lifts RVD up onto his shoulders. He shouts out, “This is how it's done!” before he throws both himself and RVD off the turnbuckle and both men are sent crashing through the barbed wire board, causing it to break. Ambrose's arm is inadvertently over RVD, which gives the ref no choice but to make what could possibly be the final count in this match.*




1...





2...





3!

*A hush falls over the arena as Ambrose has did what he said he was going to do and defeated RVD, as inadvertent as it may have been. After many moments pass, Ambrose begins to lift himself up from the carnage but that's easier said than done as the barbed wire has now penetrated his skin and caused him to bleed from his back and arms due to their tiny incisions on his body. Eventually, he's able to break free at the cost of bits of his skin being pulled off due to the barbed wire.*

[Jerry Lawler]
That was one hell of a match, what a way to end it!

[Jim Ross]
Only someone as sick as Ambrose would enjoy such a thing.

[Michael Cole]
Who are you to judge him, JR? You don't know what he had to go through to make it to this point, and RVD had it coming, he brought in that board filled with barbed wire. He made his bed and now he has to lie in it.

*With his entrance music now blasting throughout the arena, Ambrose stands tall among the assortment of different weapons scattered across the ring. A satisfied smirk slapped across his face, he looks down to the carcass of Rob Van Dam left bent and broken lying across the two pieces of barbed wire covered board he was driven through just moments before. Ambrose kneels down to get a closer look of the destruction that he has caused. Edging closer until he's leaning over him, Ambrose grabs a tight grip on the back of Rob's hair, lifting his skull up from the wood he forces him to look him in the eyes as he yells “You messed with the wrong guy!” before slamming Rob's head back down against the board.*

[Jerry Lawler]
What a disgusting show of sportsmanship, adding insult to injury like that.

[Michael Cole]
Well if you ask me, Van dam deserves that and more.

[Jerry Lawler]
I can only hope that some teaches this monster a lesson in respect, Rob is a legend of this company, it's sickening to see him treated like this.

[Jim Ross]
I have to agree. Ambrose has gone back to his sadistic ways and I don't like it one bit.

*Ambrose looks pleased with himself, but to his surprise the crowd start to cheer loudly. Still kneeling down beside the board, he looks out at the crowd with confusion, failing to understand how they could possibly be cheering for him after he just destroyed one of their favourite hardcore legends of XWL. Not sure what to make of their reaction, he stands back up onto his feet and the cheering intensifies, still with no idea what's going on, he turns around and it soon becomes apparent why they were cheering as he comes face to face with the man who put an end to Kane's destruction earlier tonight, Randy Orton! With little to no time to react, Ambrose is taken by surprise at Orton leaps up into the air, hooking onto his neck and head with both arms as he comes down from the jump, landing a huge RKO!! Dean lands face first against the canvas and is left a motionless mess as Orton stands above him with a cold icy stare.*

[Jim Ross]
BAH GAWD!! It's Randy Orton! Randy Orton just hit the RKO on Dean Ambrose!!

[Michael Cole]
This is the second time tonight that he's done this! Wasn't Damien Sandow meant to get rid of him?! How does he keep getting away with this?! He should be kept on a leash!

[Jerry Lawler]
Hahaha! This is fantastic! Randy Orton has saved us from not one, but two monsters tonight.

[Jim Ross]
For a man who wasn't booked to appear, he sure has made an impact at Eye for an Eye!

*Orton stares down at the crumpled heap that is Dean Ambrose, still with the same cold stare he had before, he slowly raises up his arms before striking his 'Legend Killer' pose. The crowd are ecstatic now as Randy's music hits with Ambrose yet to move. Orton continues to hold his pose as we cut away to a hype package for the World Championship bout later tonight between Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho.*

The crowd has been warming up to Ryan after his tough battles with Drew McIntyre though there’s still a small amount of boos scattered amongst the crowd and it seems as though he hasn’t won everyone over. Oddly enough, Ryan is dressed to compete though he isn’t scheduled for a match tonight. He hasn’t been seen for weeks and with him already holding a microphone there’s no doubt he has a lot to get off his chest and as he walks down the ramp he starts to speak.



Joey Ryan
Hello XWL Universe, long time no see. Joey Ryan here, live at Eye for an Eye, the greatest pay per view in the world because this is the pay per view in which Joey Ryan came out on top. The pay per view in which for the first time in his career Joey Ryan dared to enter the Elimination chamber. The grueling steel structure which people say changes you. Joey Ryan was scared. For the first time in his life this was the chance for a young superstar to complete the breakthrough year. Joey Ryan went into that chamber with the intention of becoming The World champion and when that light hung over my cage and I was realized first the odds were against me. Joey Ryan pulled through and walked out the world heavyweight champion. Joey Ryan walked out pinning 4 other men. Joey Ryan finally became the man 7 months after stepping onto XWL for the first time. Just a small town wrestler, fighting in school halls and gyms, got the break he always dreamed of and grasped it with both hands. XWL has never been sleazier.

Ryan makes to the ringside area, sleazily walks up the stairs, then gets into the ring.



Joey Ryan
Fast forward a year and here are we now. We have Joey Ryan who isn’t even hardly appearing on live TV anymore and when he appears on house show matches like I have for the last few weeks, problems have been happening. For those of you at the live shows you would know that Joey Ryan has found himself a female friend, the same female friend who left notes in Joey Ryan’s locker room and the same friend who cost Joey Ryan of the World Heavyweight Championship. Joey Ryan is an honest man. Ever since Joey Ryan went up against Drew, Joey Ryan has turned over a new leaf. Joey Ryan is still Hollywood’s favourite celebrity and Joey Ryan is still the man who brings in the draw but Joey Ryan now has a mutual respect for all of the sleazeballs out there who respect Joey Ryan.



Joey Ryan
Tonight Joey Ryan dosen’t have a match. Joey Ryan isn’t even on the card. Joey Ryan is out here in his wrestling attire and Joey Ryan might just have to prove once again why this is the greatest pay per view and why XWL needs Joey Ryan. So I’ve been in the back thinking long and hard about what I could do and then I thought over the last few weeks with Joey Ryan being attacked behind camera’s and having girls coming down to the ring that Joey Ryan would get to the bottom of it all. Joey Ryan is going to find out tonight just who is to blame for all of this. Joey Ryan is ready for the 3 greatest words any Hollywood icon loves to hear…LIGHTS….CAMERA’S….ACTION!



Joey Ryan
Now as much as Joey Ryan enjoys the thrill of the chase I am tired of having distractions and interruptions from someone I don’t even know. You’ve successfully gotten into the head of Joey Ryan. As much as I try to get you out something happens and it just starts all over again. I have questions I need to ask you and you’re going to have answers. Joey Ryan was screwed over the World Heavyweight championship and you’re the blame. Joey Ryan has been screwed over time and time again by you and it is driving me insane. Sending girls out to the ring to distract Joey Ryan? Using sleaze against the man who is bringing sleaze to XWL? What kind of sick creature does such a thing? Joey Ryan can’t even go for a strawberry shake or for a cigarette without thinking something’s going to happen. That’s why I want you to come out and explain yourself. Maybe Joey Ryan will show his soft side and give you a night of sleaze, you’ll never know unless yo-





A coward resurfaces, delusions of grandeur on display
Amusingly still refusing to accept his role of a casualty
All while watching teary-eyed, helplessly as skies turn gray
The first sign of his world crumbling, exposing his frailty

Itching to partake in  battles he has no chance of surviving
Desperate to redeem a soul that has already begun dying
A passenger trying  to convince others he’s still driving
But it’s written on his tear-streaked face that he’s lying



Joey Ryan
Who the…


Darkness.

The crowd pops when the black sheet falls over the arena and you can hear them start buzzing as the anticipation combines with the suspense to send them over the edge. Just as quickly as they shut off the lights turn back on to reveal MsChif standing in the ring across the Joey Ryan and there’s a ref in the ring now too! Before Joey can even gasp in surprise MsChif charges forward and tackles Ryan to the ground!

There’s a monstrous pop as MsChif lets out months of frustration on the hapless Ryan who’s too stunned to even register what’s happening right now, unable to even get his arms up to protect his pretty face. MsChif has gone absolutely mad! She’s snapped! This is what happens when her anger gets the best of her, and poor Ryan is the one that she’s using to send the message. She’s refusing to show even the slightest bit of mercy or regret as she pounds the living daylights out of him! The Ref calls for the bell - there’s going to be a match? - but you can barely even hear it over the sound of the crowd chanting MsChif’s name.

Ryan frantically gets to his feet while doubled over so the brunt of MsChif attacks land on his upper back instead of his face. Pushing MsChif backwards, Ryan thinks he has a second to breathe until MsChif charges forward with a savage clothesline that knocks Ryan over the top rope with nothing but the thin padding outside of the ring to land on.

Without hesitation MsChif climbs to the top rope, her eyes never drifting from her target slowly making his way back to his feet. Ryan turns around to see MsChif take to the sky, she hits the huge crossbody! The crowd is on their feet, filled with energy, filled with love for the woman who rises to her feet, flicks back her hair to free her face revealing the look of satisfaction on it. It’s only temporary because with a scream MsChif pounces on Ryan again letting it all loose with such viciousness that The Ref gets out of the ring to separate the two.

Ryan escapes into the ring when The Ref pulls MsChif off, and the crowd’s reaction his mixed as Ryan poses with a smile on his face. It’s a smile that quickly disappears when MsChif charges into the ring sending Ryan scrambling to the other side. He tries to do a headfirst dive under the bottom rope, failing when MsChif dives herself to take firm hold of his right leg so that she can pull him back into the center of the ring but Ryan puts up a fight managing to grab hold of the bottom rope with both hands.

Undeterred, MsChif grabs Ryan’s other foot and delivers a toe kick right into the abdomen then forcefully pulls Ryan away from the ropes where he soars into the air before dropping down face first onto the mat. Not even giving him a chance to breathe, MsChif immediately transitions into her variation on the muta lock, doing an impressive bridge and wrenching upwards on Ryan’s neck.

The Ref asks Ryan if he wants to tap but the notions seems ridiculous, this is a woman, how could she be able to make a man such as him tap out? Using his strength, Ryan, manages to remove MsChif’s arms from under his chin causing her to lose her balance breaking the bridge and the submission.

Ryan scrambles over to the corner, watching wide-eyed as MsChif slowly gets to her feet, not out of fatigue or pain but due to her need to savor ever second of this encounter that she has waited months for. MsChif charges at Ryan still in the corner who puts his boot up at the last second hoping to get lucky, but MsChif grabs it throws it to the side so that it ends up draped over the middle rope then she lashes out with a series of stiff right hands then shifts to headbutts further increasing the savagery of her headbutts while the crowd continues to cheer in delight.

Ryan slinks down until he’s sitting in the corner, vulnerable and hurting while MsChif backs away with a scream on her face. Prefacing her next move with a scream, MsChif charges forward and drives her knee right into Ryan’s face damn near knocking him out cold right then and there! He’s doesn’t resist as MsChif lifts him back to his feet so that he can repeatedly thrust her shoulder into his ribcage making it harder and harder for Ryan to take in a breath without feeling any pain.

With one final thrust, MsChif freezes, leaving her shoulder pressed into Ryan’s gut before hoisting him onto the top rope, clubbing him in the face nearly knocking him off but by wildly waving his arms Ryan is able to keep his balance though taking a nasty spill may have been a better option than whatever in the world MsChif has planned.

She climbs up to the top prepared to hit a superplex but Ryan nails her with a couple of desperation shots to the ribs before pushing MsChif off and she plummets down to the mat back first. Ryan uses the precious seconds of freedom to catch his breath all attempting to upright himself on the top rope. He dives off with a double axe handle and gets caught under the chin with a huge dropkick in midair! Ryan crumples to the ground in a heap where he’s in prime position to be pinned except MsChif has the pain that shot up her right knee to worry about!

That knee, that has been giving her a world of problems since Madison Eagles targeted it at Supremacy to win the Diva’s Championship, has reared its ugly head again, and suddenly MsChif doesn’t look so dangerous when she has such a glaring weak spot exposed.

The crowd is still hot, still 100% behind her, still cheering and chanting her name with everything they’ve got, but there’s a hint of worry now, doubt’s starting to creep into the back of their minds as they are seeing with their own eyes that MsChif is not invincible nor impervious to pain or incapable of being injured. Despite the pain she must be in she limps over to Ryan laying there on the mat then drops that injured right knee onto his forehead as if to say that she’ll continue this fight whether or not it decides to cooperate.

Back on her feet but walking with a noticeable limp, MsChif grabs a handful of Ryan’s hair pulling him to his feet before sending him racing over to the ropes. Ryan bounces off heading straight over to MsChif with a head full of steam and drops her with a lariat! Getting up right away, MsChif turns around and gets hit with a dropkick but she refuses to stay down getting up once more so that she can continue to give Ryan the fight of his life managing to leap over the man who was charging with a spear, dropping him with a mushroom stomp!

MsChif’s clearly favoring her knee, especially after a move like that, but the roar of the crowd is keeping her going, or maybe it’s her sick sadistic need to bring as much pain into Joey’s life as humanly possible… and then some. Ryan gets to his feet onto his own, staggers back into the waiting arms of MsChif who takes him down hard with a Russian leg sweep, then smoothly rolls backwards onto her feet. She races over to the ropes giving herself a little momentum so that when she nails Ryan with a baseball slide dropkick the momentum sends him rolling out of the ring.

His attacker is right behind him, rolling out of the ring to continue the onslaught. Ryan uses the apron to assist him on his quest to get back to his feet but all that’s in store for him is a headbutt from MsChif sending him staggering back into the barricade. Taking him by the head, MsChif goes to slam Ryan face first on the unforgiving barricade but it’s reversed as Ryan plants his hands on the barricade in the nick of time, then drives his elbows into MsChif’s gut doubling her over, next he places a hand on her shoulder and hamstring and throws her with as much power as he can muster into the barricade!

Finally… finally Ryan has gotten a chance to breathe, but he doesn’t want to create any separation, displaying a new side of him as he savagely stomps away at MsChif’s fallen body, the tone of the crowd changing completely as they’re now filling the arena with the sound of their boos mixed with some cheers showing nothing but hate with traces of love for the man who’s pulling MsChif onto her feet. He drives her back into the barricade, not once but twice, with her crying out in pain each time, then he lifts her over his shoulder, races over to the ring post and launches her head-first into it! Ryan gathers up the lifeless body of MsChif so that he can roll it into the ring and perhaps put this debacle to rest, pinning her lackadaisically and it should come as no surprise that MsChif is able to kick out at two.

The two get to their feet simultaneously, but Ryan isn’t going to make the mistake of allowing MsChif the chance the strike first, promptly driving the point of his knee into her gut before hoisting her up into the air, pausing just for a second, then slamming her down with a suplex, floating over right after: One. Two. MsChif kicks out then tries to sit up and the first thing she sees is Ryan’s incoming foot as he bounces off the rope to put a little oomph behind his big boot and again he tries to put this match away: One. Two. Another kick out, another sigh of relief from the crowd who start up their chants of MsChif’s name once more, willing her to her feet, where she blocks an incoming punch from Ryan then lights up his chest with a sharp chop.

Ryan goes reeling back into the ropes, wincing in pain from the chop that’s only the beginning of MsChif’s newest offensive wave. She drapes Ryan over the bottom rope then sits on his back as she uses the ropes to lock in a camel clutch. The crowd is making a whole heap of noise but MsChif technically has an illegal hold locked in and she uses every bit of the five count before finally breaking at four.

MsChif gets up and walks threateningly over to The Ref giving him a look that would have caused him to drop dead right there if a mere stare had that kind of power. With Ryan nearly on his feet, she makes a beeline over to the ropes, bounces off making her way toward Ryan who suddenly leaps into the air, catching her in midstep with a calf kick and MsChif drops onto the mat. Ryan immediately pulls MsChif to her feet, then stuffs her head between his legs as he sets up for a powerbomb!

Ryan shouts “This is where she belongs!” to the dismay of the crowd. MsChif suddenly attempts to buck Ryan off with a back body drop attempt but he thwarts it by clubbing her hard on the back until she stops putting up a fight, then Ryan lifts her into the air, holds her there for a second with her crotch in his face then he slams her down with all his might! Not willing to go for a conventional pin, Ryan folds her up for the pin with his groin pressed against her derrière: One. Two. Triangle Choke!

MsChif turns the tables on Ryan in the blink of an eye, putting him yet another position where he may be forced to tap out! The crowd has suddenly been brought back to life cheering without fear of losing their voices, as the thousands packed into the arena collective try to goad Ryan into submitting. It’s not going to be as easy as asking him to as it would appear that there’s still some fight left in the man of sleaze who is fighting is way back to his feet while MsChif wraps her legs tighter and pulls harder on his arm.

Ryan has her in the air the throws her back down with a second powerbomb but MsChif still has the submission locked in! Keeping his cool, Ryan takes a moment to gather his energy, then he somehow gets to a vertical base for a second time so he can hit a third powerbomb on MsChif who absolutely refuses to break the hold! Through her legs, you can see Ryan’s face starting to turn a disturbingly bright shade of red, and his limbs stop moving and he stops putting up a fight, the submission starting to take its toll. Slowly fading away Ryan attempts to hoist MsChif into the air but he just can’t pull it off and seconds later he goes limp in her clutches.

The Ref takes his arm, holds it into the air, then lets it go, the limb free falling in the air before hitting the mat with the thud. The Ref lifts Ryan’s arm again and the scene repeats itself, the crowd breaking out into a frenzy as they grow closer to the end of the match. The Ref raises Ryan’s arm into the air for a third time and lets it go… It falls through the air almost in slow motion then it hits… no! It shoots back into the air! Another inch and this match would have been over, but now, with a sudden burst of energy,  Ryan begins working his way over to the ropes until he finally is able to place his ankle on the bottom rope.

The crowd’s mixed reaction starts up again, watching as Ryan gets to his feet with the help of the ropes that he pulls down at the last second to evade an incoming MsChif sending her tumbling to the outside of the ring. Ryan gets up and races over to the ropes and after bouncing off he goes racing over to the other side of the ring with a suicide di… No! In a flash, MsChif gets onto the apron and intercepts Ryan with an elbow to the temple.

With him dazed, staggering backwards, then falling on his ass, MsChif quickly scales to the top with the crowd taking a breath as she whips her head back sending her hair flying over her head and out of her face. She dives off with a crossbody and is caught! Ryan tosses her overhead with a fallaway slam, sending MsChif flying across the ring! Ryan lays there on his back for a second to take in a breath and regain his composure.

He came out here to confront his secret admirer, a woman that had him on her minds for months, who has cost him so much, and now it’s revealed that it may have been nothing more than a series of elaborate games from the sick twisted mind of MsChif. She brought a referee out of the darkness with her, inciting an impromptu battle to the end where it seemed as though MsChif was going to see through to the eerie promise made earlier in the show to find the man who she believes has been avoiding her and embarrass him. After being caught off guard in the early stages of a fight that was simply impossible to prepare physically and mentally for, Ryan has slowly been able to wrestle the advantage away from MsChif and putting the monster down once and for all may the only way for him to get out of this alive.

Ryan gets off his back and onto his feet, walking over to MsChif leaning against the ropes. Taking her by the arm he attempts to shoot her off to the other side of the ring but can’t quite pull it off as MsChif tugs him towards her to nail him with a headbutt. Ryan staggers back, dazed and seemingly out of It yet still has the wherewithal to lift an incoming MsChif into the air then connects with an atomic drop next he hits a northern lights suplex, bridging for the pin: One. Two. MsChif pushes off the ground creating a bridge of her own, then she turns so that she as Ryan in position for a DDT.

A DDT doesn’t seem to be in her plans though because she instead puts her vicious side on display rapidly and ferociously driving her right knee into Ryan’s face, ignoring the pain it causes her and floors Ryan to the ground with one final devastating knee. MsChif drops onto her left knee holding onto her right knee wincing in pain as she takes a moment to let the pain subside so that she can walk without issue. Ryan, wobbly kneed, is in a vertical stance, that is until MsChif turns on her heels and clobbers him with a spinning back fist!

Ryan drops to the mat in a heap completely knocked out cold and the crowd gets to their feet in anticipation as MsChif eyes the ropes with evil intent in her eyes. Slapping her right knee to get the blood flowing, MsChif gets a running start as she prepares to hit her version of the Lionsault that she calls Unhallowed Grace. Immediately as she takes her running start, Ryan pops onto her feet and catches MsChif preventing her from hitting the moonsault!

Ryan has MsChif in his arms, in perfect position to break her neck with a tombstone, but he just stands there… With MsChif’s groin in his face again, Ryan’s eyes are open wide and there’s no doubt a perverted smile on his face. MsChif shifts her weight causing Ryan to fall backwards and now MsChif has him dangling in a precarious position! Instead of hitting the piledriver, she flips him upward letting him drop on the top rope throat first. She grabs him in an inverted facelock before he can fall, looking to hit her signature rolling cutter.

Ryan twists out of her grasp, shoves her backwards and hits a jaw-shattering superkick! MsChif drops to the ground in a heap, but Ryan refuses to go for the pin. He pulls her up, holding her face close to his. When they’re both on their knees, Ryan blows her a kiss, then when they’re both on their feet she smacks her sharply across her face. He quickly grabs her from behind, wrapping his arms around her chest, then performs his version of the german suplex he calls the Boob Plex bridging for the pin: One. Two. Three!  






















Ryan receives a mixed reaction from the crowd who watches as he tells The Ref to raise his hand in victory. MsChif begins to stir and he quickly gets himself out of the ring walks backwards up the ramp. With MsChif on her knees, Ryan taunts her from the stage, a smile on his face, as MsChif holds the back of her head. Joey mouths…

Darkness.

The crowd cheers even though they should be afraid, but they know that at least for now they’re not the ones in danger. The lights come back on and MsChif is nowhere to be seen. Ryan looks a little worried  before he heads backstage and somewhere in his mind he must know that he hasn’t seen the last of the tormentor of souls.

Kharma is once again showing off her strength advantage over Eve, Eve has yet to really get the offence on Kharma, who just uses her power to throw Eve from one side of the ring the other.

[Jim Ross]
is just too big and strong for Eve.

Kharma laughs as her destruction of Eve continues, she drags Eve up by her hair but delivering a viscous to handed chokeslam, She isn't finished there as once again she drags eve up by her  hair.. but this time Eve delivers kicks to the legs of Kharma! Kharma's grip loosens, repeated kicks to the legs of Kharma appears to be working. Eve keeps on top whilst she can, working Kharma's legs by delivering a chop block which staggers Kharma! Eve does it again and Kharma is down on one knee... Eve runs against ropes runs back towards kharma...BUT NO! Kharma gets up and delivers a huge clothesline! Eve is down, Kharma could have the pin right now  but doesn't go for the cover. Kharma drags Eve up, hooks her arms looking for the implant buster...but Eve breaks free! Eve escapes the ring, and heads up the ramp! Before Kharma can even do anything about it, Eve is at top of the ramp looking back and shouting "I don't need this!". Kharma just stands and stares at eve, as the Ref begins to count.

[Justin Roberts]
The winner of the match by count out.... Kharma!




Eve waves goodbye to Kharma with a smirk across her face before heading through the curtains to the back. Kharma's music plays and the referee approaches her to raise her arm, but she is in no mood to celebrate and stares at the referee with a look that could kill, letting him know to back away, and he does. Kharma is left frustrated in the ring, leaning against the top rope.

Michael Cole
Eve has just left the arena, literally!

Jerry Lawler
And Kharma does not look happy about it! But nonetheless, a fantastic performance by Kharma here tonight, a count out victory is still a victory.

Jim Ross
Of course it is King, but Kharma feels cheated here, she knows she had this match won.

Michael Cole
You can't blame Eve for walking out, this woman is a beast, and that's putting it nicely!

Jerry Lawler
There's no denying that Kharma is a powerful woman, but Eve is just as talented, she could have pulled off an upset here.

Michael Cole
What are you talking about? Eve is great, but she's not going to beat that woman. Kharma is just too powerful, there isn't anyone on the roster who can match her strength.

Just as Michael finishes speaking, the titantron lights up



The crowd burst into a frenzy of mixed reactions as the famous Hart sound effect blasts through the arena followed by Natalya's entrance music.

Jim Ross
BAH GAWD!!! Is that... It is! Natalya! Natalya Neidhart is back!!

Natalya's music continues to play but there's no sign of her, Kharma looking confused in the ring suddenly starts to laugh.

Michael Cole
I knew it! Kharma set this whole thing up, Natalya isn't here at all!

Jerry Lawler
I wouldn't be so sure about that Cole, look!

The camera pans over to the crowd where we see Natlya slide over the barricade and into the ring behind an unaware Kharma. The crowd are going crazy now as Natalya lies in wait. Kharma realises something is wrong from the crowd's reaction and slowly turns around straight into a brutal spinning forearm from Natalya that knocks her off her feet.

Jim Ross
Nattie by Nature! Natalya just knocked a two hundred and seventy two pound woman off her feet with one strike!

Jerry Lawler
I guess you were wrong Cole, there is a diva on the roster that can match Kharma in power and strength.

Natlaya stares down at Kharma who is just recovering from the strike, she decides to make her leave and rolls out of the ring underneath the bottom rope. By the time Kharma has pulls herself up to her knees, Natalya is half way up the ramp. Nattie smirks at Kharma and blows her a kiss before leaving the arena and stepping into the back, leaving a pissed off Kharma to stir in the ring as we cut away to an advertisement for Monster Bash.

Eye for an Eye returns from a advert about the upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray that is going to be released at XWLshop.com. We are now backstage with our backstage interviewer who looks to be trying to get an interview with one of thee chamber entrants, KEVIN STEEN.



Interviewer: Hey XWL fans I have an exclusive interview with one of the 6 entrants of the Elimination Chamber with me right now. He is none other than Kevin Steen. Thank you Kevin for your time before your big match. You was one of the final known entrants into the chamber because you had to win a match to get in the match against CM Punk. You beat CM Punk who you have had some bad blood with over recent times. How does it feel to be going into the chamber tonight?



Kevin Steen: Oh before I answer your question I just want to do a shout out to a very special person who is watching tonight wishing he was here in my shoes. So CM Punk hope your having a good time, I hope that you aren't hurting too much buddy, hope you got some people to bitch to whilst I am doing something you will never do and that become number one contender. Anyway as you can see I am just happy as fucking Larry right now. I arrived here and it was good to know that tonight I am going to be involved in a match that doesn't have any rules that stop me fucking shit up like I do best. So Dave, I can call you Dave right? Well that's what I am calling you so deal with it. Dave, I feel great, I feel like its finally my turn to do what I have been talking about for over a year and that's go on to face the World Champion. I am going to enter that chamber, be it number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or number fucking 6, I will enter whenever and I will beat the living shit out of all of them.



"Dave" the interviewer: Well my name is.. Actually it doesn't matter. Steen there is 5 other superstars that all want that shot at the big time, they are all gunning to win, do you think that they will give you some pressure tonight?



Kevin Steen: Damn Dave you ask some stupid fucking questions. You have a nice fucking suit that I am sure as hell wouldn't be found dead in. You just come from a fucking wedding or a civil union or some bull crap meeting? Anyway do I think that the others will put "pressure" on me? Well of course they will all want a shot at the World Title so they all want to win. I am sure they will want to beat me and I am sure they will have a good go. Well you know what I am not worried about that. I am sure there is going to be some close calls, I am sure that my fucktard opponents will give me some pressure but it doesn't fucking matter at all because I am each and every single one of their nightmares. You lock me in some chamber and think that is a good thing. I am aloud to do what I please and get away with it. So I would let you speak and maybe ask another question but I think I am going to talk some more about my opponents ok.



Kevin Steen: So first there is The Miz, he really thinks that he is that awesome, he really likes to think he is must-see but the only thing I want to see is me piledrive that motherfucking and throw his ass out of the chamber. Hmm whos next? Not Goldberg, No next up we have Austin Aries, the greatest man that ever lived, well I am the worst fucking man that ever lived, because after tonight maybe when your name says lived it will be referring to you in past tense. Anyway next is, Chris Sabin, so you think that you think your going to get past me to win this thing? Well you look like a child, did you get that permission slip in? Did you tell your mother that you was in this type of match tonight? Well Sabin sorry but your going have to deal with me taking more that your lunch money sorry. So Dave who is next on that list of people I need to give shit for to build up this PPV? Oh yeah Alberto Del Rio. Giving this chamber an international flavour in giving the Mexican a chance. Del Rio tonight you may have that spicy mexican food blended because you I might just have to drop you on your head and its bye bye to those tacos. Last but not least its got to be Mr Hilarious, what's his name again Matt Class--- Whoops Dave why didn't you stop me I nearly broke Kayfabe there. Colt me and you have known each other a long time and most of those times it has been me kicking your ass. Colt you got yourself into this match because you got friendly with Hogan or whatever but Colt don't think this is going to be a run in the circus its going to be a run in hell with your favourite nightmare, ME!



Kevin Steen: After all that is done and I am standing as the winner and new number 1 contender, I hope that Dolph Ziggler or Chris Jericho are watching because this nightmare is coming for you!! Look at my face, look at this fat asshole, because this is the monster you will have to deal with at Monster's Bash. Don't worry about forgetting this face, don't worry at all because this face will be with you everytime you close your eyes after a long day on the road, this face will infect your dreams, this face will be watching you everytime you enter arena after arena. Keep that World Title close because This nightmare is worst that Freddy fucking Kruger, this nightmare is ending your dreams for good!!!

**Kevin Steen stares into the camera for a short time before a smirk comes across his face and he look back at "Dave" and then turns to walk away as we fade to the next segment.**

[Interviewer]
Eve! Can I just get some words on what happened earlier?



[Eve Torres]
Just make it quick...

[Interviewer]
Earlier tonight, You faced Kharma and in a seemingly cowardly act walked out on the match, what is your reason for this?


[Eve Torres]
Cowardly? You think that was cowardly? *Eve lets off a little laugh before continuing* That was playing it smart. I was going to go to that ring and beat Kharma, but I realised.. I don't need to. I don't need to risk an injury by the careless hands of Kharma. My career and my future is far too important for that... So I did the smart thing, the thing nobody else would have thought of. Because when I get the Divas Championship shot that I deserve, I need to be 100%, I need to be at my best. I don't  need to waste time with Kharma, I'm done with her, I'm over her and I'm better than her. I have nothing to prove by stepping in that ring with such a vile beast.


[Interviewer]
But don't you think walking out on the match will hurt your chances of getting a championship shot?


[Eve Torres]
Why should it matter? if Hulk Hogan did what was right, I'd get a Divas championship shot either way... if Vickie Guerrero was still our general manager, I'd have already been given the shot I deserve. If Hulk wants to keep me waiting then that's fine,  I'll just prove more and more each week I deserve a title shot. Madison Eagles apparently "earned" that championship, by beating an already beaten Mschif, Whilst I beat a 100% Mschif just a few weeks ago. I don't need some "contract" to give me a championship match, because when I get my title shot, it will actually  be deserved.


[Interviewer]
But you face some tough competion in the divas division, the likes of Layla, The Bella Twins, Mickie James, Alicia f....

Eve then cuts off the interviewer


[Eve Torres]
Are you serious? Please don't tell you was going to list Alicia Fox in the "competition" diva Division has. And as for the rest, I'm better than each and every one of them, I'm the face of the Diva Division. Not Mickie James, not Layla, not AJ Lee... but me. I don't need that championship to prove I'm the best diva in this company... I just want it. I am better than I ever was, I  may have lost diva title opportunity's before but now it's different... when I get my rightful shot at the divas champion, no matter who holds my title at the time... I will win, and become the greatest divas champion you have ever seen.



[Interviewer]
..Thanks for your time.

The camera follows on from the interview with Eve to another superstar now as we see Joey Ryan in the back, recovering from his impromptu match against MsChif, much to the surprise of everyone, including himself. The cameraman heads over to him as he’s resting up against a wall, having a drink

Cameraman
Joey can we get your thoughts on MsChif being behind the events over the last few months?

Joey pauses for a moment and just finishes his drink before throwing it in the bin and acknowledging the cameraman



Joey Ryan
MsChif really? Out of every single diva that is in the back that could have wanted Joey Ryan, MsChif was the one who was behind all of that? Joey Ryan could have been with a girl like Eve or Layla, Joey Ryan has the looks to have any girl he wants. Now just look, MsChif wants to attack me? Joey Ryan will always fight anyone. Time and time again Joey Ryan has said he’ll fight anyone it dosen’t matter if it’s a diva or a superstar. After the reaction I got out there it seems like the people are starting to take the side of MsChif. Did you hear the reaction she got when I was attacked? An innocent Joey Ryan was viciously assaulted and that is the reaction I got? Those fans who had seeminly warmed up to Joey Ryan didn’t like it when Joey Ryan started to fight back. Joey Ryan is not going to let a girl beat him up. He’s too good for that. I said at the start Joey Ryan is all about making an impact. MsChif has had a lot of good fights and I’m sure when she fights divas she can handle herself but divas don’t go against superstars.



Joey Ryan
There are reasons why Divas do not go against Superstars and Joey Ryan is one of those reasons. Joey Ryan is all for showing the ladies a good time outside of the ring, but inside, inside Joey Ryan won’t hesitate to knock you out with a kick or maybe invade a little personal space and end the match with a move which is a personal favourite of mine, the boobplex. See I created that move myself and it is one of the sleaziest moves in the whole of professional wrestling. What MsChif needs to realise is that she can do these mindgames all she wants. She can read out her dark poetry, she can turn the lights off and on a few times and disappear but when we look at who has the strength, who has the brains and who has the logic all heads turn towards Joey Ryan. When we look at who was at the top of this company while you were out scaring little girls all heads turn to Joey Ryan. When we look at who has being the most successful breakout superstar or diva all heads turn towards Joey Ryan because when Joey Ryan says something he can back it up.



Joey Ryan
Joey Ryan has made countless promises to everybody and I’ve never let anyone down. When I first came to this company I said I’d be one of the greatest here. Joey Ryan is one of the greatest in XWL. When I first came here I said Joey Ryan would be world champion by the end of the year. Everybody laughed at Joey Ryan, they all thought an indy guy like Joey Ryan wouldn’t be able to handle XWL. They all thought I’d give up and go back to PWG or Ring of Honor. Joey Ryan became World Heavyweight Champion after 7 months. Joey Ryan also promised he was going to walk into the Elimination Chamber and win and I did. Joey Ryan is a man of his word and MsChif, you made a big mistake coming for Joey Ryan. You made a big mistake coming out of the safety of the divas division. Normally Joey Ryan would try to stay away from attacking a girl but you cost me my World title and you cost me matches over the last few months which means Joey Ryan needs to teach you a lesson.



Joey Ryan
I’m going to send you back where you belong. Tonight you tried to catch me off guard and I still came out on top. Joey Ryan is a man who is used to being on top. You are not going to achieve anything here, MsChif. Why don’t you just give up now you’ve had your 5 minutes of fame and just go back to where you belong. Go back into the shadows. Joey Ryan is an icon, a superstar. Joey Ryan loves the lights and the cameras. You just like to lurk in darkness and hide away and now you want to try attack Joey Ryan as he makes his way back up the top of the chain? MsChif, everybody wants a piece of Joey Ryan. Hell even this cameraman probably wants a piece of Joey Ryan but he’s too smart to do anything about it and he’s just staying quiet. You should have just stayed quiet. This isn’t over. I’ll see you next week…

Lights…

Cameras…

Action!

Joey pushes the camera away as it fades out to the next segment of the show.

As the Pay-per-view continues the cameras return to the announcers table as the commentators introduce the next match

Michael Cole: It is now time for the Elimination Chamber match, one of the biggest matches of the year and by far one of the most dangerous structures in XWL.

Jim Ross: But that's not all this year the winner will go onto The Monster's Bash as the number one contender for the World Heavyweight championship! And you just know that all six of these men will give it their absolute ALL to be the one that gets that title shot.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: The chamber is a career changer, not just for the winner, but for every single man that's ever stepped foot into it, careers have been shortened, superstars have suffered serious injuries and some have cemented their legacies in this very match.

Jim Ross: Trust me King, everyone knows what's at stake tonight, but now it's time to take a look at the Elimination Chamber itself.

When JR stops speaking the cameras fade out to a video package about the Elimination Chamber



As the video ends the cameras switch back as the Chamber starts to lower around the ring and Justin Roberts starts to announce the rules for the match

Justin Roberts: The following contest is the Elimination Chamber match, the rules are as follows, two participants will start the match in the ring, four of the participants will start the match inside one of the four pods around the ring, at five minute intervals a pod will open at random and a new competitor will enter the match, and the only ways to be eliminated are by pinfall and submission. The match will end once all four pods have been opened and there is only one man remaining. The winner of this match will receive a World Heavyweight championship shot at The Monster Bash!

When Roberts' finishes speaking and the Chamber finishes lowering, the entrance music of the first entrant starts to play through the PA system



When Kevin Steen walks out onto the stage, with Steve Corino by his side the crowd start to boo him as he slowly makes his way down the ramp headed for the Chamber

Justin Roberts: Introducing first, from Marieville, Quebec, Canada weighing in at 240pounds Kevin Steen!

Jim Ross: I think this man right here might just be the favourite here tonight, Kevin Steen arguably the most dangerous man in XWL is the first man to enter the chamber, and he'll be placed in one of those pods that surround the ring.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I can't argue with you JR, this is the man who defeated CM Punk last week to get into this match and that's no easy feat in itself, he's defeated many of the top stars here in some of the most violent matches we've ever seen, so I'm sure he'll be right at home tonight.

As he approaches the Chamber Steen stands still for a second or two before walking up the steps and entering the Chamber alone

Jim Ross: You can say that again King, Steen seems like he'll relish being in this match and I'm sure everyone has him earmarked as a major threat in this match and they should. Kevin Steen is one hard hitting son of a gun, I don't like him, not one bit but I know he'll be looking to deal some serious permanent damage to all five of the other men in this match.

Michael Cole: I don't even want to think about it, but this is all that stands in the way of Steen getting a shot at the title, he's wanted that shot for months and months and some would argue that he deserves it, and he'll be determined to make sure he gets that shot at The Monster Bash.

Steen enters the ring as he surveys the structure for a few seconds before exiting the ring again and heads over to his pod

Jerry "The King" Lawler: You see the referee locking the chamber, he's making sure Steen is locked in, just like they will with all other three superstars who go in those pods and only when they're due to enter the match will a referee unlock their pod.

Michael Cole: I'm not sure this is a great idea, they're caging Steen up like an animal, and all he can do is bide is time until it's his turn to enter.

When Steen enters his Pod a referee on the outside closes the door and starts to wrap the door release in a metal chain securing Steen in as his music fades out and is replaced by the music of the second entrant



Then as Austin Aries theme starts to play the crowd boo again as The Greatest Man that ever lived walks out onto the stage

Justin Roberts: And from Milwaukee, Wisconsin weighing in a 210 pounds Austin Aries!

Jim Ross: You talk about someone biding their time, I'm sure this man Austin Aries will be happy to do just that. The self proclaimed Greatest Man that ever lived I'm sure he'll be delighted to know he's starting this match in a pod, and he'll be hoping he's the last man to enter to maximise his chances on going all the way.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He came close in the King of the Ring barely losing out in the final to Chris Jericho, so this is Aries second shot at getting a World title shot, and much like Steen he won't want this chance to slip through his fingers.

Michael Cole: And that's not forgetting his alliance with The Miz, how will that come into play if at all, they could wipe out the competition until it's just those two left. But if you ask me that wouldn't be wise for Aries as there's no chance he'll be able to beat The Miz tonight!

Jim Ross: I'm sure we'll see all kinds of unique partnerships, but everyone knows they can't trust anyone in this, it's every man for himself and you can't take the risk for taking your eye off the ball for a second, or you'll be gone.

Not taking the time to let the occasion to sink in Aries logs up the steps and enters the Chamber, jumping over the ropes into the ring before removing his cape

Michael Cole: I just wouldn't want to be Chris Sabin, he's been asking for what he gets tonight for weeks by the hands of Aries and Miz, I can't wait!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: You might have to wait for a while though Cole, as you see there Austin Aries is entering his pod, so you'll have to put that little fantasy on hold at least for a little while.

Aries walks around the ring looking around the chamber before exiting the ring and entering his pod opposite to Kevin Steen as his music fades out and he's locked inside



When Cabana's music starts to play the crowd start to cheer and Colt runs out onto the stage and stands up on the ramp for a second or two before making his way down to the ring

Justin Roberts: From Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 233 pounds Colt Cabana!

Michael Cole: Oh great, this guy, what a joke! I can't believe this guy got a spot in the Elimination Chamber, what was Hulk Hogan thinking?

Jim Ross: Calm down, Cole. Colt Cabana has been raising a lot of eyebrows since his debut, and this is a huge opportunity for him, and if you ask me he deserves every bit of it.

Michael Cole: Oh come off it JR, this guy is a complete joke, could you imagine Colt Cabana in the main event of The Monster Bash, for the World title? It doesn't even bare thinking of.

As he reaches the Chamber Colt removes his ring jacket and throws it to the floor then he walks up the steel steps and enters the Elimination Chamber

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He could become the World champion, Cole. You could be watching the very next champion right now.

Michael Cole: If that happens it would be the darkest day in XWL history since Ted DiBiase got his job back.

Cabana walks over to his pod and enters as a referee on the outside closes the door behind him and starts to lock him in as his music starts to fade out

Jim Ross: Just listen to yourself Michael, how delusional can you get? Colt Cabana might well be the dark horse of this match and...

Michael Cole: Oh why don't you just shut up JR! This guy is pathetic, he shouldn't even be in this match, he shouldn't even be in the company, they should just fire him already and be done with it, and send his little buddy Marty out too.

Before the last man to enter a pod's music starts to play Ricardo Rodriguez walks out onto the stage and the crowd start to cheer already knowing who's about to come out



The crowd cheer again as Alberto Del Rio walks out in front of the crowd for the second time tonight taking his place along side Ricardo on the stage

Ricardo Rodriguez: Ahora introducir el hombre que va a derrotar a todos los otros cinco hombres y convertirse en el contendiente número uno, el hijo más grande de México, Albertoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Del Rioooooooooooo!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I think they aren't many fewer men who could wanted to start this match in a pod than Alberto Del Rio. And after that Inferno match against Kane earlier tonight who can blame him?

Michael Cole: Talk a warm up match, Alberto Del Rio is going to have to dig down deep if he's going to come out of this one with anything. He's already been through a war tonight, and I don't see with coming through the Elimination Chamber with a thing.

Jim Ross: I hate to agree with you Cole, but you might be right. It's going to be extremely difficult for Del Rio, could you imagine if he had lost earlier tonight? There's no way he'd even be in this match if that had happened.

When Del Rio reaches ringside he removes the scarf from around his neck and hands it to Ricardo before entering the ring

Michael Cole: This just isn't right, I can't believe that they're making The Miz start this match, how can that be justified.

As soon as Del Rio enters the final pod the door is closed behind him and the referee locks the door

Jim Ross: Cheer up Cole, that means The Miz  could go all the way tonight and go onto The Monster Bash and face the champion in the main event.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: That, or he could get eliminated before the first pod even opens.

With all four pods locked Alberto Del Rio's theme fades out as the cameras return to Justin Roberts

Justin Roberts: And now introducing the two competitors that will start the match.



When The Miz walks out onto the stage the crowd start to boo as Cole jumps up on his feet clapping his hands loudly as The Awesome One starts to make his way down to the ring

Justin Roberts: From Cleveland, Ohio weighing in at 221 pounds, The Miz!

Michael Cole: Oh haha Jerry! Like that will happen, the way I see it The Miz will make easy work of Sabin and have all the time in the world to wait for his next opponent to come out.

Jim Ross: That's wishful thinking, especially when he's going up against Chris Sabin one half of the Motor City Machine Guns and the rivalry between him and The Miz as of recent months will make the opening few minutes for this match very interesting indeed.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: It sure adds some fuel to the fire and you know both men are itching to lay their hands on each other after Hulk Hogan banned them from laying a finger on each other until this match begun and they're not going to have to wait very long.

When Miz enters the chamber he bangs on the door of Alberto Del Rio's pod reminding him of his and Aries attack on him last week before he enters the ring

Michael Cole: They're going to start this match off and only one of them will be ending it, this man The Awesome One! The Miz! He'll go on the win the whole thing. We're about to enter a new era in XWL, we're about to hit heights we've never seen before and it all starts tonight when The Miz finally becomes number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Jim Ross: There's still a long way to go before the happens, Cole. He has to outlast five men before that becomes a reality.

Michael Cole: He could do that in his sleep, JR.

Knowing who he's about to face The Miz stands in the middle of the ring waiting for Chris Sabin to make his way to the ring as his theme fades out



When Sabin makes his way out onto the stage the crowd cheer for one half of the Motor City Machine Guns as he starts to make his way to the ring

Justin Roberts: And from Detriot, Michigan weighing in at 205 pounds Chris Sabin!

Jim Ross: If he's going to do thing it all starts here's against Chris Sabin, and you know he's ready for this. He wants to get his hands on The Miz and Aries and he's not going to lay down until he does that.

Michael Cole: But he's not going to have a choice in the matter, he doesn't stand a chance right now.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: We'll see about that, Cole.

Michael Cole: Yeah, we will! And I'll be the one who's laughing when Sabin doesn't last a minute against Miz!

Jim Ross: I haven't got a doubt in my mind that that won't happen, Cole. Sabin is one tough kid.

1/3

As Chris Sabin walks into the Chamber he quickly jumps over the top rope running right at The Miz, completely catching him off guard pummelling him with a flurry right forearms to the jaw forcing The Miz into a corner, refusing to stop the blind sided attack as the referee signals for the bell to abruptly begin

Jim Ross: Sabin's not wasting any time in this one! He wants a piece of The Miz right now!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I can't say that's a very wise strategy though JR. This match is all about pacing yourself, especially if you're planning on going all the way.

With Miz firmly in the corner Sabin quickly takes a few steps back and takes his jacket off throwing it to one side before running right at The Miz hitting him in the jaw with a Big Boot and he falls out of the corner, and Sabin jumps up to the second rope

Michael Cole: He's not wasting any time, he completely attacked Miz when he wasn't expecting it, how is this supposed to be fair?

Perched on the rope Sabin waits for a second or two for Miz to get back to his feet before diving off grabbing The Miz by the head on the way down planting him on the mat with a Bulldog then quickly turning him onto his back and going for an early cover

Jim Ross: Sabin's going for the cover early here, trying to put The Miz away!

1!

2!

Miz kicks out at an early two, clearly nowhere near ready to give this match up so early despite being caught completely off guard by the assault by Sabin

Michael Cole: He's going to have to do a lot more than that to put The Miz away!

When Miz gets back to his feet, Sabin swings his arm at him trying to take Miz's head off his a clothesline, but he ducts out of the way then quickly grabs Sabin by the back for the head and tights and throws him over the top rope onto the steel, however Sabin was wise to it and lands on his feet, albeit somewhat awkwardly, then as he turns around Miz is already trusting his shoulder at Sabin between the middle and top ropes, but Sabin moves making The Miz narrowly miss his target and gives The Miz a stiff kick for his Upper Chest for his efforts. Then with Miz still draped on the middle rope, Sabin springboards himself over the the top rope and Miz into the ring, hitting Miz with a Mule Kick to his back and commando rolling out his feet on the landing!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Whoa! Did you just see that? Sabin is on fire early on in this one.

Jim Ross: But he needs to make sure her doesn't burn out early, he's got a long way to go if he's going to come out with the win.

Not stopping his momentum, Sabin hits the opposite ropes and rebounds at The Miz clotheslining him over the top rope landing back first on the unforgiving steel floor

Michael Cole: Such impact on the steel, there's no way that couldn't hurt.

Noting that Miz hasn't been in the match from the get go, Sabin takes this chance to climb up to the top turnbuckle and walking the top rope grabbing hold of the top of the nearest pod for balance and waits for The Miz to get back to his feet, then as he soon does Sabin dives off spreading his body out wide looking for nail Miz with a Crossbody, but to no avail as Miz side steps out of harms way and quickly throws Sabin into the nearby pod housing Austin Aries, slamming Sabin face first into the Pod wall and Sabin crumbles down onto the steep being propped up by the Pod he was just drove into

Jim Ross: Sabin head first into the pod!

Michael Cole: It might not of broke but he's got to be in a lot of pain right now. He's in a world of hurt thanks to Miz.

Sensing this is his chance, Miz grabs Sabin by the head and throws him into the chain link fence by the head before forcibly pushing Sabin's head up against the steel, slowly bending Sabin at the knees and driving a knee into the back of his skull, doing his best to keep his opponent grounded much to the annoyance of the fans as the start to boo Miz heavily

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's taking his time in this match, trying to kill any momentum Sabin built up early on.

Michael Cole: Just listen to these people, they're just jealous that The Miz is in complete control of Sabin.

After a few more seconds Miz grabs Sabin by the hair and pulls him over the the ring ropes, entering the ring himself then pulling Sabin half way in, his head and torso in the ring and legs on the outside, as Sabin stands there almost out on his feet, as Miz turns Sabin over hitting him with a Backbreaker, driving his Upper Back into an extended knee only to be quickly followed by by a Neckbreaker as the rest of Sabin's body falls through the ropes into the ring and The Miz goes for his first pin of the match

Michael Cole: This could be it, Sabin might just be done right here!

1!

2!

Sabin kicks out at the two count!

Jim Ross: He wasn't even close to pinning Sabin there, there's still a long way to go in this one.

The Miz seems to be greatly frustrated by Sabin's small showing of resilience, as he pulls Sabin to his feet and takes a few steps back before taking a slight run up hitting Sabin with a knee to the face and then attempts another neckbreaker, but it's blocked by Sabin hitting The Miz in the face with a Back Elbow before going in behind Miz himself and hitting him with a Tiger Suplex bridging into a cover

Jerry "The King" Lawler: A great suplex by Sabin! And he's trying to eliminate The Miz before the first pod opens again.

1!

2!

Miz kicks out at the two, quickly getting up to his knee's only to be meant by a front dropkick to the face by Sabin

Michael Cole: He wasn't even close, The Miz is going on to win the Elimination Chamber today, mark my words.

As Miz lays on the mat, Chris Sabin takes the opportunity to climb up the the top rope once more, perching himself on the top turnbuckle as Miz comes to and slowly get back up to his feet, then as he turns around he dives off again going for another Crossbody landing perfectly on The Miz, whoever manages to roll it through on Sabin into a quick roll-up

1!

2!

Sabin kicks out again!

Jim Ross: He was close to elimination there, but Sabin kicks out yet again.

Both men are quickly to their feet as Miz grabs Sabin turning hi around the throwing him Shoulder first into the Steel ring post, before taking a few steps back to regain his breath on the opposite turnbuckle, waiting for Sabin to start moving

Michael Cole: We all know what Miz is thinking here, he's got Sabin in position.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He needs to keep on top of Sabin, he's just wasting time right now.

Michael Cole: Oh what do you know Jerry? You've never even stepping foot in the Elimination Chamber!

Then when he removes himself from the turnbuckle post Miz charges at Sabin hitting him with the Awesome Clothesline right in front of Alberto Del Rio's pod, as Miz smirks to himself feeling that he now has Sabin right where he wants him. He then steps out of the ring standing right in front of Alberto Del Rio's pod banging on the door trying to get under Del Rio's skin. However he's completely taken his eye off the ball not seeing a thing as Sabin dives over the top rope with a Suicide Dive taking The Miz out as both men crash into the Steel flooring!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: What a dive by Sabin, risking it all right there!

Jim Ross: Miz just paid the price for taking his eye off the ball, but Sabin might of done just as much damage to himself as he did to The Miz.

They both lay on the floor almost motionless for a few seconds then eventually they both get to their feet near enough at the same time and Sabin pushes Miz into the ropes, who bounces back with a Discuss Punch to Sabin's jaw then hooking Sabin’s head in a cravat and draping his arm over his shoulder  lifting him up for a suplex dropping Sabin front first back into the ring

Michael Cole: Sabin could of out of it, he's paying the price for his high-risk style.

He then re-enters the ring himself behind his opponent taking him back to the floor with a Chop Block as Sabin grabs the back of his leg, but gets back to his feet soon after only to be Chop Blocked back to the mat for a second time

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's targeting Sabin's legs, you've got to think he's setting him up for the Figure Four.

Michael Cole: That's great tactics by Miz, take out Sabin's legs and he's easy pickings.

Miz grabs Sabin by the leg he's just been working on, hitting his tight with a knee, followed by another, then knee dropping his tight for a third time. He then follows it up with an Elbow Drop to Sabin's knee, keeping his Elbow in place he wrenches Chris' knee for a few seconds

Jim Ross: Just relentless of his assault of Sabin's legs, trying to soften him up for his Figure Four submission.

Pulling Sabin up to his feet, Miz grabs him by the leg lifting him up in the air briefly to hit him with a Shin Breaker keeping Sabin's leg held as he hits the mat, before  wrapping his legs up trying to lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock, but Sabin grabs Miz by the head to rolls him up in a Small Package!

1!

2!

Miz kicks out at a two and quickly gets to his feet and kicks Sabin in the knee cap forcing him to drop to his knee's then planting Sabin with Miz's patented DDT, and both men lay on the mat

Jim Ross: Sabin almost had him with the roll up, but Miz was wise to it and now both men are down!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: And look at the timer JR, the first pod is about to open!

Michael Cole: Who's it going to be?

As the lay there the counter for the next entrant reaches zero, and the camera’s go to an overhead view as the spotlight randomly lights up on the competitors pods before finally landing on the Pod of Colt Cabana as the referee unlocks his pod and slides his door open and Cabana rushes out of his pod and enters the match

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Colt Cabana is in the match! Far from ideal for him I'm sure but he's not going to let that stop him!

Michael Cole: Oh please this guy is a joke, he doesn't stand a chance.

Not wasting any time Cabana enters the ring as Miz gets back to his feet hitting him straight away with a Bionic Elbow hitting him back down to the mat, then he turns to Sabin also hitting him with a Bionic Elbow, then again to The Miz once he gets to his feet, and again to Sabin, as the crowd cheer as Cabana starts to clear house cheering him on as he reaches down in his singlet and pulls out another Elbow Pad putting it onto his other Elbow quickly knocking both of his opponents down with duel Bionic Elbows!

Jim Ross: He's fired up right ow, hitting everything that moves with elbows!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's been waiting for this match and he wants to make the most of this opportunity.

Cabana removes his extra Elbow pad and throws it at the side of the Chamber having been used to throwing stuff into the crowd, then as his turns around he notices The Miz up against a turnbuckle

Colt Cabana: Flying Asshole!

Colt runs at The Miz hitting him with the Flying Asshole, then he shouts "Flying Asshole!" once again and runs at Sabin hitting him with one too before going for a cover on Sabin!

1!

2!

Sabin kicks out at the two count!

Jim Ross: That was close for Sabin right there, Cabana picking up the scraps.

Very slightly surprised at Sabin kicking out, Cabana quickly crawls over to Miz, not wanting to waste any time hooks his leg going for the cover

Jerry "The King" Lawler: And now he's trying to eliminate The Miz, could this be enough?

1!

2!

Much like Sabin, The Miz also kicks out at the two

Michael Cole: He wasn't even close, you're going to have to do a lot more than that to put The Miz away!

On top of the match, Colt grabs Miz with the hair pulling him back to his feet, but Miz catches him off guard and rakes his eyes, temporarily blinding Cabana, blocking Miz's view as Sabin runs at the both drop kicking Colt into The Miz

Jim Ross: A meeting of the minds for Cabana and Miz, that's not pretty at all.

With Colt still unable to see properly Sabin grabs him by the hand and hands up the ropes, bouncing off them and diving off jumping off The Miz hitting them both with an Arm Drag and Hurricanrana respectively as the crowd erupt in cheers for such a good showing of athleticism, as he covers Cabana

1!

2!

Colt kicks out at a two count

Jerry "The King" Lawler: A close call of Colt Cabana, it's anyone's ball game still.

Michael Cole: But surely The Miz is still the clear favourite he just has it all!

With Sabin fully focused on Colt, Miz sneaks up behind him grabbing Sabin in a full nelson looking for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Sabin sits out of it and slides through Miz's legs, then as Miz turns around Sabin tries to kick him, but he gets caught, now hoping on one leg as Cabana gets to his feet and stands next to Miz as Sabin continues to hop, then Cabana grabs Sabin's other leg tripping Sabin up, as Miz and Cabana hold a leg each of Sabin, then seemingly on the same page they split his legs like a wishbone as Sabin screams in pain grabbing his groin

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Ow! Somebody call Mrs Sabin and tell her the bad news.

Jim Ross: He's going to be icing those for a few days when it's all over.

The look on Miz's face shows how proud he is of what they've just done then he looks over to Colt who point's to the top of the Chamber

Colt Cabana: Look up!

Miz instinctively looks up and with his guard down Cabana slaps him across the face, and Miz holds his cheek, completely unimpressed by Colt's antics and as starts to pelt Cabana with punches then Colt starts to reply in turn as they start to trade blows

Michael Cole: Who the hell does Cabana think he is? You're going to need a lot more then lame jokes to get the better of The Miz.

Jim Ross: Trust me, Cole. Cabana is a lot more than jokes, when it comes down to it he's all business.

As they continue to trade blows, Miz rakes Cabana in the eyes again then whips him into the ropes, then as Colt rebounds he leapfrogs over Miz as he ducts under Cabana, then on the rebound again Miz lifts Colt up in the air and plants him onto the mat with a Flapjack, then goes for a cover

1!

2!

Colt kicks out at a two counts again

Jim Ross: A close call for Colt, but it's still anyone's game, and that's not ideal for any of these three as the match goes on.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: You just know all three men in the Pod's are chomping at the bit to get into this match, but whoever has the luck of the draw on their side will surely be the favourite to win it all together.

The Miz gets back up to his feet and lays in wait for Colt to get back up to his feet then as he does Miz gets him in a Full Nelson looking to hit Colt with the Skull Crushing Finale, but Colt sits out much like Sabin previously, but grabs Miz's legs and turns him onto his stomach into the Billy Goat's Curse!

Jim Ross: He's got it locked in!  Colt Cabana has Miz caught in the Billy Goat's Curse and he's got nowhere to go!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I don't think he has any other choice he might have to tap out!

With the submission hold locked in Cabana leans forward exerting more pressure on Miz's back trying to get him to tap out knowing that The Miz has nowhere to go under Elimination Chamber rules!

Michael Cole: Come on Miz, just hold on, don't give up just yet!

Keeping the pressure on The Miz Colt keeps inching forward bending Miz further and further as the camera gets a close up on Miz's face as he screams in agony then cutting back to a normal view as Sabin leaps at Cabana wrapping him legs around his head and taking him down with a Hurricanrana forcing him to break to submission in the process!

Michael Cole: Yes! Thank you Chris Sabin! I knew Miz would escape somehow!

Jim Ross: If it wasn't for Sabin you'd have to think Miz would be tapping out sooner rather than later, and I'm not sure that was a smart move on Sabin's part.

Colt quickly gets back to his feet with his back to Sabin then as he turns around he's lifted onto Sabin's shoulders, looking for the Cradle Shock, but as he has Cabana on his shoulders, he starts to elbow Sabin in the side of his head then sliding down him back rolling Sabin up with a Sunset Flip

1!

2!

Sabin kick outs out at the two count again!

Jim Ross: Sabin almost bit the bullet right there, but he's still in this one.

Annoyed that Colt took him off guard with the roll up Sabin runs at him as soon as he's back to his feet, only to be met by a slap across the face by Cabana's right hand, quickly followed by a left handed slap, then Cabana lift's Sabin up onto his shoulders spinning around quickly with an Airplane Spin trying to disorientate his opponent

Michael Cole: You can't be serious? This guy is a joke!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's pulling out a classic here, I didn't think I'd see an Airplane Spin inside the Chamber.

Jim Ross: Colt Cabana with the British style of wrestling, he often pulls out a lot of unique kinds of offence taking his opponents completely off guard.

After a few quick spins Colt starts to get a little bit dizzy himself and let's Sabin back down to his feet. As both men are still feeling the effects Miz gets back to his feet and clothesline’s Sabin over the top rope onto the steel then quickly grabbing Colt by his singlet and throwing him over onto the steel as well

Michael Cole: Sabin and Cabana get out onto the steel, Miz is looking to put someone away right now.

With both of his opponents on the outside The Miz exits the ring as well and starts to attack both men hitting them and a few stomps to their backs as they start to stir on the floor, then as Colt starts to get to his feet Miz grabs him by the head throwing him backwards into the steel wall of the Chamber

Michael Cole: Just how dominant is The Miz? He's got both of his opponents exactly where he wants them, he has this match in the bag.

Jim Ross: It's still early on Cole, remember there's still three pods that need to be opened.

With Colt temporarily disposed of Miz turns his attention to Sabin pulling him over to a pod door wedging him in between a Pod and the ring post forcing his boot into Sabin's throat trying to choke him out

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Miz is just trying to choke Sabin out right now! And there's nothing the referee can do about it.

Miz keeps his foot driven into Sabin's throat, as Colt gets back to his feet, he pulls Miz off Sabin and hits Miz across the chest with a chop then pushes him into the ring ropes and whips him into the Chamber wall.

Jim Ross: Right into the steel! That's going to hurt in the morning.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I think everything is going to be hurting in the morning, JR. I felt that and I'm just watching it.

As Miz hits the steel Cabana grabs him by the shoulder and turns him around then kicks him in the gut, and getting him in a cravat hold and raping his arm over his shoulder

Michael Cole: You don't think he's going to suplex Miz onto the steel do you?

Jim Ross: I think that's exactly what's he's planning, Cole.

Cabana keeps Miz in position for a second or two until Sabin keeps to his feet and assists Colt in lifting Miz in the air and dropping him onto the Steel flooring with a Double Suplex!

Michael Cole: Did you just hear that impact? That's human flesh on steel, and that could of ended Miz's hopes of winning this here right there! Come on Miz!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I don't think you're cheering is going to help him one bit Cole.

Michael Cole: It's got to do something, come on Miz! Get up!

Now that Miz is disposed of Cabana quickly turning his focus onto Sabin hitting him with a Double Leg Takedown and positioning him for a toss into the walls, then as Colt leans back he launches Sabin but he grabs onto the Chamber wall like a spider much to Cabana's and everyone else's surprise

Jim Ross: What a show of athleticism by Sabin!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's clung onto the wall like Spiderman, JR!

Before Sabin can do anything Colt tries to pull him down but Sabin quickly kicks in the face knocking him down starts to climb up the cell wall

Michael Cole: He's climbing up the wall? Is he crazy?

Jim Ross: He's getting away from Cabana, but there's no where but down from there.

As Sabin climbs over he perches himself on top on Kevin Steen's pod and looks down as Miz and Cabana trying to decide what to do next as Steen reaches up and pulls Sabin's legs down through the holes in the top of the pod almost trying to pull him in with him!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: Steen's just trying to pull him into his pod, he's like a caged animal! He just wants to rip somebody apart.

With Sabin trying to fight off Steen, Miz starts to move again and rolls himself into the ring, and slowly makes his way over to the turnbuckle underneath Sabin, who keeps trying to kick Steen away, then from the other side Miz starts to club at Sabin's face trying to pull him out with his arm around Sabin's head

Jim Ross: I don't like this one bit, this can't end well for Sabin I'm sure of it.

Michael Cole: I don't know what Miz is thinking but I'm sure it's going to hurt no matter what it is.

As the three men continue to fight Cabana gets back to his feet and re-enters the ring hitting The Miz in the back a few times before positioning himself to Powerbomb The Miz, then as he pulls down Miz flies down Superplexing Sabin in the process and all three men crash to the mat!

Michael Cole: Oh my!

Jim Ross: All three men are down! They could all be done already!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: You can say that again JR, and look we're about to get our fourth entrant right now!

Everyone is down as the crowd erupt in cheers for the Tower of Doom as the time for the next pod opening starts to go down 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

The lights looking down at the remaining three pods, flashing in no specific order, draw the suspense of the live audience in attendance as they look on in pure anticipation to who will join Satan's Structure next. The light abruptly stops over Aries' pod, drawing a smug grin on his face as he knows that he's in perfect position to capitalize on the situation at hand. The ref opens the pod as Aries spends no time bursting out from his pod and flies into the ring, going for a pinfall attempt on the man who took the worst of the move, Chris Sabin.

Th- Kickout!

Sabin barely gets his shoulder up, keeping himself in the match. Aries looks almost in slight disbelief but doesn't stop him from climbing over Miz's body and attempts to eliminate Colt.

1...

2...

Kickout!

Colt gets his shoulder up as well, leaving Aries annoyed that he couldn't get an elimination from the impactful maneuver that took out all three men in the match. Sabin begins crawling towards the nearest turnbuckle and slowly lifts himself up to his feet using the ring ropes as leverage. Aries sees this and backs himself to the opposite turnbuckle, almost stalking Sabin. The second he turns around and tries to catch his breath, Aries makes a beeline towards Sabin with a full head of steam, and with little to no time to react, Sabin is dropped to the canvas with a running dropkick to the jaw.

Just as Aries is going to go for the cover, he spots Colt doing the same and decides to try his luck once more and is able to connect with another dropkick on Colt, nearly knocking his head off. Somehow, Sabin stumbles back onto his feet across the ring from Aries as a look of annoyance fills his face, almost wondering how Sabin still has something left in the tank after the match he's just been through. Aries makes it back to his feet and bounces off the ropes, running towards a slowly turning Chris Sabin, who is met with a huge lariat the second he turns around, causing him to do a rotation in mid air, turning him inside out.

Aries makes it to his feet with ease and shifts his head slightly to the left, spotting Colt make a beeline towards him. He ducks the incoming attack, causing Colt to bounce off the ropes and runs right into another stiff lariat, courtesy of Austin Aries. With Aries standing tall over both men on either side of him, he looks towards the crowd with a smirk before beginning to swing his arms to the left and right for a moment, following up by dropping simultaneous elbows on both of his targets. He quickly goes for the pin on Colt.

1...

2...

Kickout!

Colt gets his shoulder up just in time. Aries quickly turns his attention to Sabin and goes for the cover.

1...

2...

Kickout!

Another kickout by Sabin. Aries hits the mat in annoyance with a fist before making it back to his feet and sees Miz recovering in the corner. He motions over to him, which causes Miz to stand up from sitting on the bottom turnbuckle and makes his way to Aries. After a few words, Miz grabs Colt and throws him out of the ring as both men turn their attention to Sabin.

With a smirk now on his face as it's apparent that the numbers game is in their favor thus far, Miz lifts Sabin up to his feet slowly, but to his surprise, Sabin was ready and lifts Miz up before dropping him down with an atomic drop. Before Aries could react, he's sent to the mat with a swift Enziguri, courtesy of Sabin, who runs to the ropes behind him while his holds his groin. Sabin bounces back with a low dropkick, sending Miz face first into the mat. He makes it to his hands and knees but Sabin has already ran back to the same ropes, landing a hesitation dropkick on the kneeling Miz, doing a one man version of a signature move from The Guns: Bullet Point.

Sabin soaks in the positive atmosphere from the live audience in attendance seeing as he's the only person left standing at this point in time. That quickly comes to an end when Aries reenters the ring and drops Sabin with a forearm shot to the back of the head. Like a ravenous dog, Aries begins unloading shot after shot to the back of Sabin's head, who tries to cover up, until Miz recovers and decides to join in on this two on one assault.

Meanwhile, outside the ring, Colt has been gathering his energy back before deciding that it's time to interject himself into this assault. Colt enters the ring and pulls Aries off of Sabin before landing a Bionic Elbow on him, sending Aries to the canvas for a moment. He does the same to Miz, giving Sabin an opportunity to roll out of harms way. Aries makes it back to his feet and is able to stop the second incoming Bionic Elbow before it can connect. He smirks as he thinks that he's stopped the move but Colt has other plans and catches him off guard with his other elbow, sending him stumbling backwards.

Miz tries to take advantage of Colt having his back turned but Sabin quickly returns the favor and hits a springboard dropkick on Miz before he could connect with a shot to the back of Colt's head. Colt turns around and sees what just happened, but before anything could be done between them, Aries tries to land a double lariat but it's unsuccessful as both men duck it. Aries spins back around and is met with another Bionic Elbow from Colt. He looks at Sabin and motions for him to try it. Sabin shrugs and lowers his elbow pad down to his wrist before landing a Bionic Elbow on Aries as well.

The crowd cheers on as Colt and Sabin take turns on hitting elbows on Aries until he eventually falls down to the canvas. Sabin begins to move his elbow pad back to where it's supposed to go as Colt is encouraging the approval of the crowd. Sabin sees Miz making his way towards them with a head of steam and pushes Colt out of the way while he ducks the incoming attack from Miz. Almost out of instinct, Sabin lands a spinning back kick to Miz's gut, doubling him over, which gives Colt the perfect opportunity to land a Bionic Elbow on Miz. Colt and Sabin share a glance as Colt delivers a second elbow while Sabin decides to go with an Enziguri, a modified version of the ASCS Rush that The Guns are known for doing.

Before there's time for a short celebration, Aries springboards into the ring and catches Sabin with a Hurricanrana, causing him to almost inadvertently spear Colt after the move connects. As Sabin makes it back to his feet, he's met with a forearm to the back of the skull for his troubles, giving Aries the perfect opportunity to lift Sabin up and place him on the turnbuckle. Aries is heard shouting at Miz, telling him to get up, as he scales said turnbuckle, almost setting him up for a superplex. Miz climbs up onto the second rope, alongside Aries, and both men take an arm and throw it over their head and attempt a double superplex off the top rope.

Just as they are about to attempt it, Colt scrambles to his feet and positions himself under both Aries and Miz, taking a hold of their legs. They look down at Colt and the temporary distraction is enough for Sabin to shift his weight and positioning, putting himself in the drivers seat with what looks like a Sliced Bread from the top rope. Colt takes this as his cue and using all his strength, pulls Miz and Aries  off the second rope while Sabin uses the pod to launch himself off the top rope, landing another move known to be used by The Guns: Made In Detroit. All four men lie seemingly broken on the canvas as the countdown to let another man into the match begins.

The lights above the pods flash back and forth between the two remaining men who have yet to enter the match, Alberto Del Rio and Kevin Steen, as the countdown slowly makes its way to zero. Both eye lock eyes from across the chamber as all the entrants in the match thus far have all been taken out in one fellow swoop. A buzzer sound is heard as the light stops flashing on Del Rio's pod as a look of confidence fills his face, clearly being the favorite to win this given the situation. The pod door opens and Del Rio spends no time entering the ring and attempts to pin any and every person he possibly could, starting with the person closest to him, Austin Aries.

Aries is able to kick out from the pinning predicament. That doesn't faze Del Rio and he decides to pin Miz next.

1...

2...

Kickout!

Colt, just like the three men before him, kicks out as well. Del Rio's confidence doesn't diminish a bit as he now has four people to choose from to target. He decides to go for Aries first and lifts him up to his feet before dropping him back down with a swift suplex. Colt is the first up and runs at Del Rio, only to be met with a Tilt A Whirl Backbreaker as he holds his back in pain on the canvas. It's Sabin's turn now to try his hand at being the one to stop Del Rio's momentum and bounces off the middle rope in an attempt to hit his signature Springboard Tornado DDT.

But Del Rio has other plans and stops him in mid air before he could fully connect, instead hitting a Northern Lights Suplex and ops not to got for the bridge as there is still one more person left: Miz. Just as Del Rio makes it back to his feet, Miz tries to go for a backbreaker attempt but Del Rio easily spins out of it and hits a backstabber on Miz for his troubles. Del Rio is the only man left standing among the piles of broken bodies scattered across the ring once again as a wave of cheers emit from the live audience in attendance for the Mexican Aristocrat.

Del Rio notices that Aries is making it to his feet on the turnbuckle in front of him and Miz is doing the same on the one behind. He runs at Aries first, and jumps up into the air, hitting an Enziguri to Aries' shoulder, weakening it should he decide to make him submit later on. He turns his attention to Miz as Aries falls to the mat behind him and runs at him. Del Rio repeats the placement of the move and targets Miz's shoulder, causing the Most Must See Superstar to drop to the canvas.

He then turns his focus to Sabin, who is still feeling the effects of the Northern Lights Suplex, and runs towards him with the same thing in mind. Sabin sees it coming and ducks, causing Del Rio to miss and falls face first onto the mat. Before he has time to make it to his feet, Sabin kicks him across the face with a soccer like kick across the face, nearly knocking him unconscious. Just as Sabin is about to capitalize, he's rolled up from behind by Colt.

Just as the refs hand was going to hit the mat a third time, Sabin is knocked off Colt by a superkick, courtesy of Del Rio, and falls to the mat. Colt tries to take advantage by going for the pin but is instead met with a kick to his lower back, stopping him in his tracks. Del Rio hits another couple kicks before taking a step back and going for another superkick. Colt is able to avoid it and runs to the ropes behind him, ricocheting off of them and going for a crossbody. Del Rio ducks under it and causes Colt to get tangled in the ropes. Miz creeps up on Del Rio and locks in a full nelson but before he could sweep the leg for the Skull Crushing Finale, Del Rio throws Miz forwards and causes him to land on his knees, giving Del Rio the perfect opportunity to land a superkick on the kneeling Miz.

Del Rio is once again standing tall, or so he thinks, little does he know that Aries is charging at him from behind and drops him with a huge lariat to the back of the head. An array of boos fill the chamber as the crowd is making their voice heard but that doesn't seem to bother Aries in the slightest. Aries turns around and sees an airborne Chris Sabin soaring through the air with a springboard clothesline in mind but Aries is one step ahead and lands a dropkick on the incoming Sabin, possibly knocking the air out of him.

Aries quickly follows up by lifting Sabin up to his feet and throws Sabin's arm over his head, possibly to go for his signature Brainbuster. Aries lifts him up into the air but a swift knee puts those plans on hold for the time being. Sabin is able to land behind Aries and spins him around before lifting him up to his shoulders. Just as he's going to go for the Cradle Shock, Miz comes up from behind and locks in a full nelson. Sabin, being in a precarious position, can't counter as is left with no choice but to come to terms with what awaits him in just a few moments. Miz sweeps the leg but not before Sabin continues with his move, throwing Aries off of his shoulders for a variation of the Cradle Shock while he falls prey to a Skull Crushing Finale.

All three men are down as Miz is still feeling the effects of the superkick and hasn't fully recovered enough to capitalize. With bodies scattered across the ring, the countdown begins for the final entrant in this brutal and unforgiving match and possibly the new favorite to win it, Kevin Steen, to make his presence felt.


Part 2/3

Steen knows that he's only mere seconds away from entering this match, and he can't wait. Pounding away on the glass as the count comes down to its final seconds, the lights flash around each of the empty pods before landing on Kevin Steen's. He yells at the referee's on the outside to let him out of his pod as they hurry to unlock the chain keeping him in, less than a second after the chain has come loose, Kevin throws open the pod door and bursts out into the chamber. Not looking to waste any time, Steen steps through the ropes and into the middle of the destruction in the ring, he takes a moment to decide where to strike first, but it looks like the decision is made for him as a groggy Del Rio stumbles to his feet against the ropes and turns around to see Steen staring back at him. Alberto's mouth drops and his face tells the story as he shakes his head knowing that he's about to fall victim to the fresh Steen. Del Rio begs for mercy but Steen is having none of it as he charges toward him and lays him out with a ring shaking clothesline.

Michael Cole: What a brutal clothesline! Kevin Steen may have just knocked Del Rio inside out.

Jim Ross: It looks like business is about to pick up here, folk. Kevin Steen is the fresh man and all five of his opponents are left laying down in the ring.

Colt Cabana begins to show life now as he jumps up to his feet and runs towards Steen, trying to put a stop to his momentum, but Steen is wise to his paln and grabs hold of Colt's arm before he can make impact. Colt struggles trying to get away as Steen pulls him closer, wrapping his left arm around his back, he grabs Colt's leg with his right hand and lifts him up into the air before swinging backwards, the back of Colt's head and neck hits hard against the canvas and he rolls away to safety. Steen follows Colt, not done with him yet, but his attention is turned elsewhere when he feels a light strike against his back. Steen turns around to see The Miz standing with his arms out, ready to strike him again, but Miz stops himself and backs away. Steen looks at Miz with anger in his eyes as Miz back himself all the way up against the ropes, with nowhere else to go, he tries for another strike, but Steen beats him to the punch, knocking Miz against the ropes again, Kevin follows up by whipping him to the other side and as he comes bouncing back, Steen captures him in his arms. Miz  tries to shake his way out of the hold, but the grip is too tight and Steen tosses Miz over his shoulders, and over the ropes, Miz's back lands straight against the steel floor outside, he yells out in pain as his back goes into spasms.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's only been in this match for a little less than a minute and Steen's already destroyed half of his competition. I think we have a clear new favourite to win here.

Michael Cole: Maybe so, but it looks like Steen might have a challenge here, Aries and Sabin are to their feet!

Steen turns to Aries and Sabin who are staggered against the ropes. Aries and Sabin turn around at the same time and realise who they're in the ring with. The two share a look and then a nod before charging at Steen together, looking to take him out, but it looks like they may have miscalculated their attack as Kevin spreads his arms and knocks each man back down to the canvas with a clothesline. Aries quickly gets back to his feet and charges towards Steen once again, but Steen has his number and uses his momentum against him, lifting Austin up into the air with one hand, he rocks him back down to the floor with a huge spinebuster! Aries rolls out of harm and into the corner, trying to get his breath back as Steen turns his attention back to Sabin who is still on the ground, Steen walks over to him and jumps into the air, landing feet first on Chris' back, he yells out in pain but Steen isn't done yet as he sets himself standing over Sabin's back and grabs onto his arms, pulling them back before slamming his boot down against the back of Sabin's head. Sabin's skull bounces off the canvas. Steen is just about to continue his assault when he notices a broken down Austin Aries sat in the corner of the ring against the turnbuckle, he seizes his opportunity and rushes toward an unaware Aries, rolling forward just before reaching him and throwing all of his weight directly into Aries' face, leaving him in a heap lying across the bottom turnbuckle.

Jim Ross:
What a painful looking move! Isn't there anyone who can give this beast a challenge?

With everyone else now down, Steen heads over to Cabana and lifts him up to his feet and positions him so that his back is facing him. Steen grabs a firm grip around Cabana's upper body and lifts him up and over his shoulders, falling down to the canvas with him. Colt lands face first and bounces over onto his back as Steen pulls himself back up to his feet, not realising that Alberto Del Rio is standing behind him, he turns around and is met with a vicious enziguri! Steen is rocked on his feet, Del Rio continues to deliver kicks to Steen's legs, trying to take the big man down, but Steen isn't budging, he grabs Del Rio and tosses him back to the ground. Still staggered, he turns around into a huge dropkick off the ropes from Sabin. Now unbalanced on his feet, Steen looks ready to keel over at any moment, Sabin looks to take advantage of this as he heads over to the ropes again, but just as he jumps up, The Miz hooks his leg from the outside and brings him crashing back down. Miz rolls himself into the ring and heads straight for Steen, kicking him in his gut, Steen finally falls to one knee. Miz takes his chance and hooks Steen's head and neck, using all of his strength and power, he brings Steen down to the canvas with a Snap DDT! Miz rolls Steen over on to his back and quickly goes for the cover.

Steen raises his shoulder at an early two count, Miz looks frustrated as he rolls off Steen, his head in his hands.

Michael Cole:It looks like The Miz may have just put a stop to Kevin Steen's destruction here tonight.

Jim Ross: It's a hard match to call, with every one still down in the ring, this is really anybody's to win.

Aries starts to stir, now backing himself up in the corner trying to get back to his feet after the attack by Steen. Quickly realising Steen is in no position to defend himself, Aries runs over to the corner closest to Steen and hops onto the top turnbuckle. Aries gets up into a standing position on the turnbuckle and then looks behind him as he sees the pod. Looking up to the top of the chamber and then back down to Steen, he grabs hold of the chains on the top of the pod to pull himself up, but before he can reach the top, Chris Sabin runs up to him, connecting with a dropkick to the lower back of Aries, he loses his grip and falls back down to the floor. Landing hard against the canvas, Aries is left lying just spaces away from Steen. Sabin looks over to them and quickly heads up to the turnbuckle he just knocked Aries down from. It looks like he has the same idea as he turns towards the pod and pulls himself up to the top. Sabin looks down to his targets who seem so far away, he prepares himself for the dive just as Cabana pulls himself onto the turnbuckle just below Sabin. Cabana now standing on the top turnbuckle attempts to pull himself up to Sabin who is trying to use his legs to knock Cabana down. Cabana manages to withstand the damage though as he pulls himself up to Sabin's level, all he needs to do now is get his feet onto the pod, but with Sabin striking him repeatedly from the top and Miz now up to his feet and heading over to the comotio, Cabana struggles to reach the top and has nowhere to go. To his surprise, Miz pushes Cabana's legs upwards, helping him to get up to the top with Sabin. As all of this is going on, Alberto Del Rio and Aries start to brawl in the corner as Steen makes it to his feet and watches as Sabin stops his striking and grabs hold of Cabana, lifting him onto his back. Sabin stands up on the top of the pod with Cabana yelling out in fear, knowing what's about to happen. The crowd is going mental as Sabin makes sure he has a tight grip of Cabana before jumping off the top of the chamber pod and falling down to the canvas, hitting Cabana with a devastating Cradle Shock!

Jim Ross: BAH GAWD! HE JUST BROKE HIM IN HALF!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: What a move from Sabin! All he needs to do now is get to the cover.

Colt is out on the ground as a damaged Sabin struggles to crawl over to him, looking for the pin, only to be pulled away by The Miz who tries his own pin on Sabin.

Sabin just manages to kick out. The Miz doesn't take it well, lifting Sabin up he tosses him into the corner and fires towards him with a huge clothesline. Sabin falls down to the ground again as Miz goes to work on him. With all of this going on, Steen walks over to the broken mess that is Colt and steps onto him with one boot. The referee makes the count.

Colt Cabana has been eliminated by Kevin Steen!

Jerry "The King" Lawler: After taking a move like that, it's no surprise that Cabana is leaving us first. What a fantastic performance from him tonight.

Cabana is escorted from the ring and chamber by officials as Sabin's beat down by The Miz is continued. Del Rio gets the edge on Aries and clotheslines him over the top rope to the outside but as he turns, back to the ring corner, he sees Steen rushing towards him! Steen leaps and sandwiches Alberto's already ravaged body against the padded buckles. Del Rio sinks to the bottom pad as Steen places his boot on the side of Del Rio's face. He looks to the crowd which is booing him and Miz as they work on the two remaining favorite's of the fans. Steen grins and starts scraping his boot across Del Rio's face violently over and over again until a small cut appears on Alberto's forehead. Seeing this Steen lifts his body up and throws him over to the outside of the ring him immediately following him as the focus shifts back to Miz and Sabin. Miz has also worked Sabin to a seated position in the corner, he backs up and seems to be measuring Sabin for a boot or knee to the head and charges in! Sabin stands and hits a low dropkick sending Miz face first into the middle pad! Miz stands but staggers to the center of the ring as Sabin sprints towards the ropes and runs up them, leaping of the top one, flying towards Miz who catches Sabin! He hooked his arm with the extended one of Sabin! He hooks the other one and plants Sabin face first into the mat with a Skull Crushing Finale! Miz sits and stares for a moment before looking up and seeing Aries leap off the top rope and hit an elbow drop! Aries covers Sabin!

Chris Sabin Eliminated by Austin Aries!

Jim Ross: Sadly, Chris Sabin is eliminated folks, a Miz and Aries combo was too much for him to overcome. Who would've thought Del Rio would make it to the final four men after his match earlier, but now he's stuck in the ring with a monster and a tandem...wait! whats going on in the ring between Miz and Aries?

Miz stands up to a smiling Aries and can be heard yelling "That was my pin man! I wanted Sabin for myself!" Aries start badgering back but they both look over to see Kevin Steen stepping back into the ring from manhandling the already hurt Alberto Del Rio. Miz and Aries mutter something quick to each other and shake hands and charge towards Steen who clothesline both of them!

Michael Cole: Dear lord! Steen is a human wrecking machine!

Steen now has his choice of victim, after a moment of thinking he grabs Aries and puts his arm over his head and yells out "F*cking Brainbuster!" and lifts him into the air!

Jim Ross: Steen is looking to put Aries away with his own move!

Steen starts stomping around the ring with Aries up before stopping just next to Miz. He looks as he's about to deliver the final nail in Aries' coffin but his expression changes from cockiness to pain?! The camera pans down to show Miz has delivered a low blow to Steen! Steen turns towards Miz as he holds his groin, causing Miz to back up into a corner! Steen's seems completely fueled with rage by this point and close in on Miz until he starts pleading with him! Miz's expression changes from fear to curiosity and he starts pointing for Steen to turn around, Steen not really thinking at this point obliges and-BAM! Alberto Del Rio drills him with a Super Kick! Steen doesn't fall but seems out on his feet as Del Rio gets in his face talking smack as he then yells to Miz who immediately shoots up and locks Steen in a full nelson and drives him head first into the mat! Already thinking ahead Aries climbs to the top rope and leaps! The 450 connects! Aries starts to go for the cover but is thrown off by The Miz who covers Steen himself!

Michael Cole: It took three men but Kevin Steen is eliminated! Now we are down to three men.....The Miz, Alberto Del Rio, and Austin Aries. Alberto has huge mountain to climb here as he has the pairing of Miz and Aries to deal with now.

Aries grabs Miz by the arm and pulls him face to face as the bickering that started earlier has now escalated! They get nose to nose and begin shoving each other back and forth! Aries gets shoved hard enough to send him across the ring and his back hits Del Rio. Del Rio ducks down and rolls up him up! 1............2...........No! Aries kicks out with suck force that Del Rio shoots across the ring towards Miz! Del Rio attempts a clothesline but Miz ducks!

Aries finishes his quick celebration and goes for the cover on Alberto!

Jerry "The King" Lawler:He kicked out! Del Rio kicked out!

Alberto Del Rio fires his right shoulder off the mat as the referee's hand stops, just inches above the mat. Aries rolls off of Alberto's body in shock that he's not the number one contender. He stays seated a moment trying to gather himself before turning back to Del Rio, he lifts the Mexican superstar to his feet and drags his fatigued body to the corner, he gets right into his face and smacks it! Aries begins yelling at the barely conscious Del Rio, "I'm the Greatest Man to Ever Live! Just give up chump!"
Aries steps back across the ring diagonally to the opposite corner and measures up Alberto, he sprints towards Del Rio and leaps connecting with a precise dropkick, hitting both feet to the temple of his target, sending him over the top rope and landing hard against the cold, unforgiving steel! Aries steps through the ropes and begins stomping away at his victim whose body is caught between a rain of boots and the vicious chamber floor. He finally feels as if he's done enough and lifts the still weak body of Alberto to it's feet, he grabs him by his neck and trunks and aims him at the chamber wall!! "GAME OVER." yells Aries as he starts charging Alberto's skull towards the chain link but Alberto drops down and connects with a drop toe hold sending Aries face first into the chamber wall!! Aries face is zoomed in on to show a small trickle of blood rolling down from his hairline, nothing compared to the crimson mask of Alberto Del Rio's but a nice cut nonetheless, as he collapses right next to the man who just countered him.

Jim Ross: I can barely stand to watch, as these two men mutilate themselves over a shot at the biggest prize in wrestling!

Jerry "The King" Lawler:Del Rio is still recovering from that beating he took from the double team by Miz and Aries, that was punctuated with a sickening Skull Crushing Finale by Miz!

Alberto uses the chain to pull himself to his feet as Aries still remains on the ground trying to figure out where he's at. Alberto lifts Aries up and shoves him into the the ropes facing out towards where they're standing, as Aries rebounds back towards Del Rio he lifts and spins him, slamming him right onto the chamber floor! Aries lets out a scream of pain following the tilt-a-whirl slam, but is interrupted when Del Rio rolls him under the bottom rope into the ring, after rolling him into the ring he begins climbing the turnbuckle from the outside, perching himself on the top buckle as the crowd cheers him on, he stares down at Aries for a moment before leaping and connecting with a BIG senton splash! He immediately rolls over while holding his own back and hooks the leg of Aries!

No! Aries gets out!




The crowd boo's as the self proclaimed "Greatest Man to Have Ever Lived" kicks out of the senton. Del Rio, still resting his back on Aries, looks up at the lights in frustration, without standing Del Rio turns his front to the fallen Aries and leans in but that turns into a mistake as Aries grabs around the arm and neck and flips over creating a bridge as Del Rio falls to the mat! Aries has the arm and head trapped and the Horns of Aries locked in on Alberto Del Rio! Aries tightens the vice around the arm and head cutting of circulation and causing Alberto to start to fade into unconsciousness.

Jim Ross: Alberto is in a real bad spot here, there's really not much else to do here than tap or pass out!

Michael Cole: This has to be one of the few things we agree on!

Aries yells with the hold applied, "Tap Alberto! TAP!" Alberto's eyes shut and hands goes lame as the referee slides down to check Del Rio's status. The fan's cheers grow louder as a loud Alberto Del Rio chant breaks out, the referee raises Alberto's hand once and it falls down as he raises up a 1, he does it a second time to the same result flashing a 2, he grabs the wrist one last time and raises it but instead of falling the fist balls up and Del Rio wakes up with a new found aggression as he let's out a primal yell causing the referee to back away! Del Rio tries forcing his way from the hold to no avail but uses his free arm to push up, off the ground! With the elevated stance he swings his lower body opposite of Aries, the shift in positioning breaking Aries grip! Before Aries can move Del Rio grabs his arm and locks in the Cross Arm-Breaker!

Jim Ross: Alberto's amateur wrestling background might have just saved him there!

Jerry "The King" Lawler:Aries went from the cusp of winning to the brink of defeat!

Aries is cursing out loud as the hold is tearing at everything in his arm, doing more damage the longer it stays locked in! Aries flails his legs, doing everything he can think of to try and break the hold but Del Rio just cinches it in tighter the more he fights it! Aries uses what little fight he has left and rolls backwards! Twisting his own arm in the process but getting Del Rio's shoulders onto the mat while he still has the hold locked in, the referee slides over 1! 2! Del Rio releases the hold to avoid being pinned, as he rushes to a standing base he is met with a big chop to his chest from Aries! Aries, holding the bad arm to his body, starts using his left hand to fire off forearm shots to the skull of Alberto, sending him back towards the turnbuckle. Aries climbs to the middle rope standing in front of Del Rio and starts teeing off left fists to the bloody forehead of Alberto he fires of 4 or 5 before he gets lifted into the air by Del Rio into a powerbomb position! Del Rio charges towards the ropes and tries launching Aries over to the steel flooring but Aries counters! Aries grabs the top rope and snaps Alberto over to the steel with a hurricanrana! Aries lands on the outside feet first with his upper body tucked between the top two ropes, he grins and pretends to dust off his hands acting like this Chamber is a piece of cake.

Aries steps completely out of the ring and lifts Del Rio to his feet, he clasps his arms around Del Rio's waist and charges him spine first into the chamber wall! Aries backs up and sprints him in again causing Del Rio to keel over, Aries is the only thing keeping Alberto on his feet because of his grip and quickly and theatrically rolls from his front to his backside still holding the waist lock, he just as quickly as he transitioned he snaps Del Rio backwards with a german suplex into the chamber wall once again!! Aries quickly scrambles and rolls Del Rio under the bottom rope to the ring, instead of going for the cover climbs the outside part of the ropes to the top buckle, he rolls his index fingers in a circle motioning for the 450!

Michael Cole: Aries is going to finish Del Rio off here! This move plus everything else that just happened, there's no way Aries doesn't become the No. 1 contender!

Jerry "The King" Lawler:You are absolutely right Cole, Alberto is dead in the water!

Aries stands straight up staring down towards Del Rio but hesitates and points towards the top of the pod behind him and the crowd goes nuts! He climbs up and squats looking down at Del Rio, he slowly stands, raising his hands till they are straight above his head, annnd he flips off the crowd?! The boo's rain in as Austin Aries hops down back to the top turnbuckle and starts looking towards them and laughing, as he gets ready to finish off Del Rio he gets blasted!! He flies off the top rope and crashes to the outside as Del Rio connects with an enziguri! Alberto collapses as well showing a look of agony on his face as he hold his back.

Michael Cole: No Aries!

Jim Ross: The brashness of Austin might have just cost him the match with that!

"Let's go Alberto!" "Aries sucks!" the fans dueling chants are charging up Alberto as he uses the ropes to climb up still holding the damaged back, but the look of agony changes to determination as he starts using the fan's admiration to get the adrenaline pumping. He steps to the outside and lifts Aries up and tosses him over the ropes into the ring, Del Rio starts slapping his arm calling for another Cross Arm-Breaker! Aries begins to stir and gets to his feet as he turns towards Del Rio he gets kicked right into the abdomen, Alberto hooks his arm and tries flipping over to lock it in, but Aries clasps his hands together blocking the hold! Del Rio tries wrenching the arm free but Aries's hold is too strong and sprawls and turns from his back to stomach and gets to his feet and delivers a stomp to Alberto's face causing the sudden release of the hold! Aries dives towards Alberto who is on all fours and hooks one leg and flips him over into a school boy bin!

Alberto kicks out and sends Austin across the ring! Del Rio gets to his feet with Aries immediately charging in but he gets rolled up in a small package!

Aries gets out! He stands up and takes a big swing but Del Rio ducks! Del Rio grabs him by the waist but Austin charges the ropes, Del Rio tries rolling him up on the rebound but Aries latches on the top rope! Del Rio quickly turns around but Aries delivers a big kick to Del Rio's groin!

Jim Ross: Aries went down low! And of course it's all legal!

Aries grabs Del Rio by the head and tucks him into a front face lock, and draws his thumb across his throat calling for his finisher, the Brainbuster. Aries lifts the arm and heaves him into the air! He stomps around the ring for a few moments before Del Rio drives a knee right into the top of Aries head! He starts staggering while Alberto delivers another knee! Aries loses his grip and Del Rio falls to the mat landing on his feet! Aries turns around and....CRACK!

Michael Cole: Del Rio just knocked Aries out!!

Del Rio connects with a massive Super Kick! Del Rio drags his body up and pulls him to the center of the ring for the cover! The fans count along loudly with the referee!

NO!!


Jim Ross: Aries wills his shoulder off the mat!

Del Rio buries his face in his hands out of frustration, but quickly realizes he needs to take advantage. Alberto backs up to the corner of the ring and almost collapses being held up only by the turnbuckle. Aries begins to stir and gets to his feet, Del Rio charges in and goes for the Super Kick again but Aries ducks under and scoops Del Rio into a fireman's carry! He walks around the ring and drives Del Rio into the mat with a death valley driver! Aries can't capitalize immediately due to being loopy from the Super Kick, He crawls towards the ropes and pulls himself inch by inch to the top of the turnbuckle, he calls for the 450 again! He leaps! And connects! The referee slides to make the count!





1!





2!








Not happening!




Jerry "The King" Lawler:Del Rio somehow gets his shoulder up!


Aries and Del Rio are both completely drained as they roll to separate ends of the ring. They both use the ropes to pull them to their feet and have a stare down for a few moments as the crowds intensity picks up. They both charge in and begin chain wrestling, Del Rio quickly throws an elbow that stuns Aries, Del Rio charges in and drives his knee into the stomach. He grabs his tights and turns, throwing him towards the corner but Aries puts his boot up to stop the momentum and he begins undoing the top pad?! Del Rio charges in and just as he comes close Aries moves out of the way exposing the metal but Del Rio notices and runs up the turnbuckle. Aries turns around and Alberto leaps but is met with a punch right to the gut! He is keeled over in the center of the ring where Aries grabs his tights and tries launching him head first into the exposed metal. As he drives him Del Rio spins causing Aries to fly ahead of him but catches himself as well! He points to his head and chuckles thinking he's outsmarted but turns around and gets an enziguri right to his bad arm! Del Rio lunges over and grabs the arm flipping him over and locking in the Cross-Armbreaker! Is Aries going to tap?!

SPOILERS!















Jim Ross: It's over!!!

*The crowd explodes as Alberto Del Rio becomes the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! Del Rio springs to his feet and lets out a yell of pure excitement!



*He beats his chest and climbs to the top rope as the fans cheer and he shows off for the camera.



Jim Ross: Del Rio has done it! He has done the damnedest thing I have ever seen here tonight! Two hellish matches and two impressive victories!

Michael Cole: That's right, he just survived what some call the devil's playground and earlier he defeated Kane in an Inferno match! Whatever doubt anyone could've had about his talents, his heart, he showed them up tonight. Del Rio is the No. 1 Contender and now the only question that remains is will it be Ziggler or Jericho?

Jim Ross: That's the big question that remains but man what a war his evening was. Normally, I'd say that it is a career night for this man but those words seem to lack the impact for what Del Rio has accomplished here this evening. The only thing that can match this is if he can win the World Championship in one month's time.

*The camera cuts to Alberto Del Rio still celebrating in the ring, and fades into the next segment as he flashed one of his signature grins.

Part 3/3

**Before the introductions to the match we cut to a video package chronicling how this match has come about and the bad blood that has come between these two. The last scene shows Drew McIntyre snapping and taking out John Morrison with a Futureshock DDT on the hard concrete floor. We then cut back to ringside.**

J.R: Folks next up we have our Intercontinental Championship Match. What you just saw on that video package was Drew McIntyre showing what he is capable of which such a heinous attack..

Michael Cole: Seriously? John Morrison may be the happy go lucky type of guy, he might like to joke around but he stuck his nose in Drew McIntyre's affairs and he got his just desserts in my eyes.

King: Cole, Morrison gave Drew the chance to face him tonight for the Intercontinental Championship and he possibily puts him on the shelf. We have heard rumours that John Morrison isn't even here tonight due to that attack last week.



**Drew McIntyre's music plays and the arena erupts with boos that drown out any pockets of cheers that might be heard. The boos and jeers get even louder when Drew McIntyre walks out. A couple of Jomosapiens have to be held back by security. Drew has a smirk on his face as he makes his way down to the ring. Drew steps in the ring through the ropes and lifts his arms into the air which gains even more heat from the crowd. Drew takes off his jacket and awaits his opponent.**



**The fans erupt with cheers when they hear John Morrison's entrance music. Drew stares down towards the entrance waiting for Morrison. A few moments pass and there is no sign of John Morrison and the fans cheers start to die down and the camera zooms to the ring and Drew McIntyre has a smirk on his face. Drew snatches the mic from Justin Roberts and looks like he has something to say.**

Drew McIntyre
Oh wait your hero isn't here tonight? My opponent the great Intercontinental Champion isn't here tonight? Oh no what are we to do? What will XWL do tonight to solve this problem. Well don't worry at all because I have got the the solution. You see weeks and weeks have gone past where John has come out here and got involved in my matches, he has come out and he has tried to make a mockery of me for what? For all your entertainment. I was determined to leave it be, I was determined to wait until I was given the green light for a match with him to let out my frustrations. Well I was given the green light from Hulk Hogan that I was going to get a match but I was done letting him make a mockery of him and I planted his head down on the cold hard concrete floor. Well I have finished my tirade, so now onto my solution. I have been told that if John Morrison doesn't show up after the referee counts to 10 he will be stripped of that championship and I will be declared the new Intercontinental Champion right here. So Mr Referee I want you to make the count right now!!

J.R: No that is not right at all, it is Drew's fault that Morrison is not here, he shouldn't be given...

Cole: Morrison hasn't informed anyone that he wouldn't be here and if a champion cannot compete he must forfeit the championship and the match. I think Drew McIntyre is a rightful champion when that happens.



The ref starts to count reluctantly,

J.R: I Don't agree with this at all but it looks like we are going to be crowning a new Intercontinental Champion here tonight.

The fans erupt with cheers when the music is played once more. Drew looks shocked and is pacing around the ring in a temper, he screams at the ref to keep on counting right now but the ref tell him to let go of his shirt and get ready.

The fans erupt louder when John Morrison arrives on the ramp but he hasn't got his normal get up on. He takes the shades off and throws them off and starts making a b-line for the ring.**

J.R: Morrison is here, he is here and it looks like business is going to pick up.

John Morrison slides into the ring and immediately tackles Drew McIntyre down to the canvas. John hammers away with some shots to the forehead of his opponent. Drew eventually squirms away from the champion and backs up onto the bottom rope. Drew slides under the rope and onto the apron as the referee backs John Morrison back into the corner, it's evident that he hasn't forgotten about the attack last week one bit and he wants to get his hands on Drew right now. After a few moments, the referee is able to calm the champion down and he asks for Drew to get back into the ring so that he can officially ring the bell. After both men are settled in their respective corners, the official rings the bell and this contest is underway!

The two men approach each other, looking ready to lock up, Morrison extends his hands out and Drew does the same. As Morrison steps in closer, Drew takes this opportunity to land a cheap gut kick to the stomach of Morrsion before landing a huge right hand. Drew lands a couple of right hands, backing Morrison up into the turnbuckle. The referee walks over, instructing for Drew McIntyre to back up and he complies. However, just as the referee steps out his way, Drew kicks Morrison in the gut repeatedly until he drops down the turnbuckle corner. McIntyre backs up a bit before charging towards Morrison and landing a knee to the head. Drew drags him from the corner and goes for the cover...

1!

Morrison kickouts just after the one count. Drew grabs Morrison up by the hair and to his feet, he wraps his arm around Morrison's neck and puts Morrison's arm over his shoulder. Drew picks Morrison up, bounces him off the ring ropes and lands a nice suplex before smirking. Drew makes it to his feet and places his foot on top of Morrison to go for the cover...

1!

Again, Morrison kicks out yet again. Drew looks a bit upset but he doesn't let Morrison's persistence get to him. Drew rolls Morrison onto his stomach, sits on his back, places each of Morrison's arm over his knees and starts to apply a camel clutch to the champion. Drew starts to pull back and the referee begins asking Morrison if he wants to give up. Morrison shakes his head no and the challenger starts applying more pressure. The Intercontinental Champion starts knocking his foot against the canvas and the fans start to join in, getting into rhythm, trying to support the champion who isn't on the offensive. Morrison uses his energy to slowly crawl over to the ring ropes and he's just a few inches away, all he needs is one more push to get to the bottom rope. Drew gets off the champion and attempts to pull him to the center of the ring but it backfires as Morrison is able to kick him off, causing him to fly back onto the ring ropes. Morrison gets to his feet and Drew comes charging at him with a clothesline but John ducks. John runs to the ring ropes, ricochets and hits Drew with a clothesline of his own. John hits yet another one before following it up with a calf kick to the face, he goes for the cover...

1!

Tw..

Drew Mac kicks out, he's still in this despite Morrison's burst of offense. Morrison gets to his feet and steps in the stomach of Drew McIntyre, he runs towards the ring ropes, bounces off, he's attempting to go for a knee smash very early. However, Drew is able to dodge it and roll out of harm's way, heading out of the ring. Morrison sees that Drew heads outside of the ring and he knows what he has to do next, Morrison backs a bit before running towards the ring ropes closest to Drew. He performs a corkscrew plancha on the fleeing Drew McIntyre, knocking both men the crowd. The crowd begins to cheer for Morrison's impressive offense. The referee begins his count as both men lay on the ground...

1!

3!

The Intercontinental Champion makes his way to his feet, he grabs a handful of Drew's hair, trying to pull him to his feet. Drew, strategically, rams Morrison's right into the ring apron, he then slams Morrison right into the barricade. The fans seating front row lean over to look on at John Morrison while others jeer Drew McIntyre. Drew knows he can't attempt to win this match by count-out so he goes over to pick Morrison up. Drew grabs him by the hair and drags his opponent over to the ring apron. Drew slams Morrison's head onto the canvas before tossing him into the ring and following right behind him. Drew pushes Morrison over and goes for the cover...

1!

2!

Morrison kicks out, he's certainly not giving up after this long reign. Drew McIntyre starts slapping the mat angrily, what else will we have to do to finish Morrison off. Drew picks Morrison up by the hair and he looks at the crowd with a vicious look, you can tell what he's thinking... a Future Shock DDT. Drew McIntyre hooks both of Morrison's arms and smiles at the crowd but it's this hesitation that allows John Morrison to spin out of the move and land a huge Pele kick to the head of Drew McIntyre, knocking him down to the ground. Morrison slowly makes it back to his feet using the ring ropes for leverage and he looks down to see McIntyre down and out. Morrison drags him over into the right position and steps over to him. He places both hands on the ring ropes by the turnbuckle area and looks down at his opponent. Morrison jumps up, bounces off but Drew is able to roll out of the ring. However, Morrison slickly lands on his feet, preventing him from crashing into the mat.

Morrison steps over to the ring ropes and Drew takes this opportunity to jump up onto the apron and pull John's head onto the ring ropes, stunning him. Drew walks over to the turnbuckle and it looks like he's trying something he's never done before. He stalks Morrison, waiting for him to get up. Morrison makes his way to his feet and quickly enough, he realizes that McIntyre is on the top turnbuckle. The Intercontinental Champion runs towards the ring ropes, hitting it and causing Drew to lose his balance. Drew drops right down onto the turnbuckle into the seated position. Morrison makes his way over to the turnbuckle and starts climbing each one. He makes his way to top and he's face to face level with Drew. The champion hooks Drew and puts one of his arms over his shoulder. Morrison brings Drew to his feet and both men are standing on top of the turnbuckle. The crowd starts cheering loudly as they observe what Morrison is about to attempt, Morrison backflips off the turnbuckle with Drew McIntyre, hitting a huge top rope C4. After the impact, Morrison slowly climbs over to Drew and goes for the cover...

[Lillian Garcia]: Here is your winner and still the Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison!

John Morrison has done it yet again, another successful title defense against yet another one of XWL's promising talents. The referee makes his way to the reigning Intercontinental Champion and lifts his hand in the air, in the process of helping him up from the ground. The official also walks over to the ring ropes and fetches the Intercontinental Championship, a championship John Morrison has defended proudly. The referee hands Morrison his title and they pose in the center of the ring. Another challenger steps to John Morrison but just like the others, they fail to capture the gold. The last picture we see is Morrison posing in the ring with his Intercontinental Championship.

As the cameras start rolling Madison Eagles is stood by backstage in the final moments of her preparation of her Diva's championship match against Nikki Bella



Interviewer: I'm being joined at this time by the current Diva's champion Madison Eagles backstage at Eye for an Eye as she gets ready for her first ever title defence since cashing in her Miss Money in the Bank contract a month ago on MsChif to become champion, so what I want to know is how do you feel going into your first defence? Are there any nerves creeping up?

Madison Eagles: No, I'm not nervous and why should I? I'm the champion for a reason and that reason is because I'm the best. I cashed in at the right time and I got exactly what I wanted and what every other Diva wants, the Diva's championship. I'm not nervous tonight because I have no reason to be, being champion proves that I'm number one and when you're number one that means whoever I'm facing isn't, so tell me why should I be nervous when my opponent isn't even in my league and if you've been watching for the last month then you'd know exactly why Nikki doesn't concern me in the slightest.

Interviewer: Speaking of the last month, how do you think your first month as champion as gone?

Madison Eagles: How has it gone? Despite everyone had to say about me all you have to do is look at the facts. In my first week as champion, the very first week I held this belt the first ever diva appeared as the guest on MizTV... granted he did make a slight oversight on who he chose as his guest, but it's OK I went out there and I corrected that mistake, and then later that night I became the first ever Diva to Mainevent, and that was just my first week, nobody managed to do it before me and nobody will do it after. If that happened in one week just imagine what will happen in the future thanks to me... Plus it wasn't my match that got cancelled last week was it?

Interviewer: I can only assume you're referring to the Diva's Elimination Chamber match?



Eagles smirks still finding failure of the rest of her competition humorous

Madison Eagles: Yeah, you know well the credit goes to Vickie Guerrero really, she made the right call. Seriously, who actually wanted to see that match anyway? And honestly I didn't even know the match was announced until it was cancelled. And really it just saves my time of having to beat whoever would of won the match next month and it saves them the embarrassment too, so thank you Vickie.

Interviewer: Now two weeks ago you faced both Brie and Nikki Bella in a handicap match, in which they came out victorious...

Madison Eagles: They beat me, yeah, big deal right. They managed to beat me in a two no one match and honest they still had a pretty hard time in doing so, and most importantly it was non-title so really it doesn't matter if they won or not. Tonight however, it is for my title and it's not two on one, it's just me against Nikki and believe me when I say it's going to be a very different story.

Interviewer: But Brie will be at ringside, do you have a strategy to keep her involvement to a minimum?



Madison Eagles: Just look at what happened last week and you'll know exactly what I'll do if Brie gets involved in the match tonight, I'll just beat her up too, that's all there is too it, come on what's Nikki going to do if I hit her sister back? She can't lay a finger on me or the referee will hopefully figure out what's going on and they'll lose by disqualification and this title won't be going anywhere. Nikki, Brie, I don't care who it is because I'm still going to kick them into unconsciousness.

Interviewer: And as we saw last week there's also the situation with the red headed fan confronting The Bellas...

Madison Eagles: What about her?

Interviewer: Are you not concerned about her?

Madison Eagles: Why should I be? I don't even know who she is.

Interviewer: So you've got no doubts tonight at all?



Madison Eagles: No. It's like I said before what seems like a thousand times already, the Bella Twins can't beat me when it counts and tonight is when it counts so why will tonight so any different? I'm the Diva's champ and she's... just a Bella Twin. Now I know they both like to think everyone wants to be a Bella Twin but I know everyone wants to be the champion and that's something Nikki will never be.

Interviewer: Before we wrap this up could you just quickly give your final thoughts before your match?

Madison Eagles: Everyone has known this match was going to be happening ever since Nikki won the Queen of the Ring at Supremacy, in a tournament I wasn't even aloud to compete in, so how can she honestly call herself the Queen of the Ring when she hasn't beat the one person that actually matters around here? It's a joke, plain and simple. Tonight I show to entire world who the real Queen of the Ring is, and that's ME! Madison Eagles, seriously.

Upon finishing speaking Madison Eagles picks her championship up from the crate behind her and walks off as the cameras fade out ending the segment

[Lillian Garcia]: The following contest is set for one-fall and it is for the XWL Diva's Championship! Introducing first, from Scottsdale, Arizona, being accompanied by her twin sister, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella!

[Jim Ross]: This is the diva's match we've all been waiting for all night.

[Jerry Lawler]: Indeed JR, Nikki Bella finally gets her shot against the current Diva's Champion, Madison Eagles.

[Jim Ross]: It was just at Supremacy where Nikki Bella would go on to beat Layla in the finals of the Queen of the Ring tournament, earning a chance at the Diva's Championship against whoever walked out Supremacy as the Diva's Champion.

[Michael Cole]: MsChif walked into Supremacy as the Diva's Champion, however, she wouldn't walk out as the champion.

[Jerry Lawler]: That's right Cole, right after she defeated Maryse in a grueling match, MsChif found herself in a bad situation, wrong place, wrong time.

[Jim Ross]: That night, Madison Eagles would shock the world by cashing-in and defeating MsChif for her championship.

[Michael Cole]: And over these past few weeks, it has certainly been a cutthroat battle between Nikki Bella and Madison Eagles, some harsh, stinging words have been said over these past few weeks and I'm sure these ladies can't wait to get their hands on each other.

As Madison walks out onto the stage with her belt around her waist the small amount the boo's for the Bella's turn into cheers for the champion



[Lillian Garcia]: And her opponent from Sydney, Australia, weighing in at 152pounds, she is the XWL Diva's champion Madison Eagles!

[Jim Ross]: The champion Madison Eagles, as we heard from just a few moments ago says she's not worried about this match tonight aqgainst Nikki Bella, clearly feeling confident the outcome will be one in her favour but that's a lot easier said than done when you're upset against The Bella Twins.

[Jerry Lawler]: We've seen time and time again the Bella Twins have each others backs and with when you bring Twin Magic into play you can never be sure on who you're even facing. It's hard enough beating one opponent, let alone two.

[Jim Ross]: She found that out the hard way a few weeks ago King, when the Bella Twins defeated her in a handicap match, after Madison opted to not find herself a tag team partner, and it's arrogance like that which could cost her the title before her reigns even really begun.



Upon reaching ringside Eagles walks up the steel steps onto the ring apron as she pulls the Diva's championship from her waist and climbs up the turnbuckle, standing on the second rope holding her championship up in the air for a few seconds before jumping over the ropes landing in the ring and she walks over to the middle of the ring brushing past her challenger

[Michael Cole]: She has a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Nikki Bella, she's upset that that she wasn't entered onto the Queen of the Ring tournament which Nikki went onto win which set up this match a month ago.

[Jerry Lawler]: I don't think it's just about that, Cole. I just don't think Eagles likes it when anybody gets the attention instead of her, it doesn't seem like jealously to me, it's almost as if she's a black cloud, I don't think there's anybody in the locker room that would call her a friend. She keeps to herself, she does her own thing, and she's obsessed with being considered the top dog in the Diva's division. And if she gets the win tonight it will go a long way to proving that.

[Jim Ross]: Whatever the case is you can't deny that these two, Madison and Nikki are polar opposites to each other, you can tell that just by looking at them and it will surely make for an intreging match-up.

Madison walks over to the camera side of the ring. Then as her theme slowly fades out Madison stands back up and walks over to her corner as she hands the referee heer belt possibly for the very last time and the referee signals for the bell to begin the match.

As the referee signals for the bell to end the match he reaches out of the ring for the championship which he hands back over the Madison Eagles and raises her hand in victory, as she looks out onto the crowd watching the fan being dragged out of the arena by security

[Lillian Garcia]: And the winner of this match and still the XWL Diva's champion, Madison Eagles!

[Michael Cole]: What on earth just happened? That's the same woman who was here last week! Who is that woman?

[Jerry Lawler]: I don't know Cole, but it looks like her plan back fired on her.

[Jim Ross]: She did enough to cause the distraction, but Nikki just couldn't take advantage of it.

Eagles exits the ring still clutching onto her title as Brie crawls into the ring to console her sister

[Jerry Lawler]: It wasn't easy for her, but Madison managed to keep hold for the title for another day, in bizarre circumstances but she did it nonetheless.

[Jim Ross]: Before the match we speculated what impact Brie would have in the closing of this match, but we sure were wrong, and I'm sure Nikki and Brie will want to get to the bottom of this as soon as they can.

[Michael Cole]: I want to know who this woman keeps getting into the building, this is unacceptable!

As Eagles walks up the ramp with her title draped over her shoulder the cameras slowly fade out to a video for number one contender for the World Heavyweight championship, Chris Jericho

John Cena Promo: We finally see you as John Cena and what do you do? You leave the building. Was a nice promo and some nice reasoning for Cena seeming to be upset with what he has gone through in the past couple of months with Swagger, Reigns and what not. I look forward to see where you may take this; that is if it leads to any certain storyline or feud. My favorite part of the promo was probably the last paragraph where you have Cena begin to show a new found attitude. Like I said a little bit ago, would be interesting to see if you take this anywhere.

Finally The Zan… Oh, Ash as Rock Promo: Living up to what Zander has done as The Rock will probably be one of the hardest roles to live up to. Ash, I think you have potential to do well as Rock as long as you keep up the work. Your promo was good and I liked it, it was a nice little return for The Rock. There wasn’t really a part of the promo that stood out to be my favorite because I liked it all around, from the start to the end. Glad to see someone good take Rock and not some random person who doesn’t promo.

Antonio Cesaro promo: First off, I really liked the name tags that you had made for Cesaro. How they would change color and match the flag of the language Cesaro was speaking. It is one of those little things that just make the promo a lot better. You played off Cesaro getting injured so that it was good and believeable. Look forward to seeing where you take Cesaro, always nice having a good Cesaro in the league. My favorite part of the promo, like I said with Ash’s Rock promo, there isn’t a specific point that was my favorite. I liked it all around and once again, dem name tags <3

Oh, this fuck again. Del Rio promo: Nice way to have Del Rio make it clear that despite being through hell with Kane, he is going out to win the Elimination Chamber match later tonight. Too bad that won’t hap- Wait, I’m being told Del Rio won. Fuck this company. Nah jk, congrats on that win and look forward to seeing you face whoever wins between Adam and Gregg. My favorite part of the promo as to be the “Retreat, defeat, surrender are not words in my vocabulary.” And onwards after that. It really set the tone that Del Rio is willing to put his body through hell if it means to get the championship.

Chris Jericho Promo: Good promo as usually, the nice was a nice little heel tactic with Jericho playing it off that facing Ziggler is just another superstar to him and he isn’t anything special. Jericho is continuing to attack Dolph with a verbal beating, mentioning how Dolph will have two failed reigns. A lot of nice heel work and I’ve got to say I like your heel work as Jericho more than probably any other heel in XWL as of right now. My favorite part of the promo was the second promo where Jericho goes all out heel, mocking Dolph by ‘backing up everything he says.’ Found that part to be a fun read of the promo.

AJ Lee Promo: Sucks that you got ditched by Zack, but at least you are able to keep AJ relevant in the division by pulling out great promos each and every week. Throwing some shots at the Divas Elimination Chamber that was sadly cancelled because lolDavid, using all of it to her advantage though, which it is a good job on your part. AJ bringing up some good points like beating everyone who she has come to face with, but Kaitlyn of course. Hopefully you get a feud as her sooner rather than later. My favorite part of the promo was probably the random suits mentions through the entire thing, was a nice idea that gave you some interesting things to talk about throughout your promo.

Joey Ryan Promo: Nice start giving a little history lesson by reminding everyone that this time last year, Joey Ryan was the man of the company by winning the World Championship. And what a downfall he has had since then, even mentioning it in his promo like how he ‘hardy appears on TV anymore’ as well as ‘problems’ he has been apart of. Nice way to kind of sell what Joey Ryan has been doing rather than pretending her was here all those weeks. Favorite part of the promo was probably this paragraph that started with “Tonight Joey Ryan doesn’t…” and ending with the signature “Lights… Camera’s… Action!” Oh and it’s Cameras not ‘Camera’s’ because the camera doesn’t own the action sir1

Kevin Steen Promo: Just a little backstage interview with Kevin Steen about the Elimination Chamber and his recent feud with CM Punk. Kevin throwing some shots at Punk after beating him last week. I found the ‘you will never do and that’s become number one contender’ part to be weird cause Punk has been champion but I see what you meant. Overall it was a good promo, what you’d expect from a chamber participant where they talk about how they will win. Seeing Del Rio won, look forward to seeing where your feud with Punk goes. Favorite part of the promo was the last line about Freddy Krueger, was creative and clever in my opinion.

Dis Bitch Eve Torres:  Eve defending herself for walking out, usual heel tactics making it seem like they were the better person in that match. Then going on to talk about the Divas Championship and how she deserves it and saying how other divas don’t deserve the championship as much as her. Some nice heel tactics, throwing some shots at management by saying she’d have her shot if Vickie Guerrero was still the general manager, plus I laughed at the Alicia Fox line that you decided to throw in their because of stuff. Not really a specific favorite part of the promo as it was overall a good promo where not a certain part stuck out above the rest.

This Sleazy Guy Again: The beginning was amazing and I laughed at it with Joey acting like Why couldn’t it be Eve or Layla but no, it just had to be MsChif. Was a good reaction promo for MsChif being behind all the mysterious events that Joey has been going through. I’m interested to see where this may lead because you normally don’t see a Superstar/Diva feud in XWL so it is something that is different yet interesting. My favorite part of the promo would probably be the beginning like I said because it got a laught out of me. Though… Kaitlyn > Eve and Layla pfu

Madison Eagles Promo: Good start to the promo, showing Eagles isn’t nervous going into her first defense as champion. Listing some facts about how your first month as champion went was a good touch because some people may not have realized it, goes to show how good the first month really was. Throwing some shots at the Elimination Chamber like other divas had was a nice touch too, siding with Vickie on making the decision. My favorite part of the promo was probably the last paragraph where Madison Eagles calls Nikki being Queen a joke and how she is the real queen of the ring. Nice promo and nice job defending the championship, Bang.

XWL Eye for an Eye returns, with the commentary unit of Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler, and Michael Cole standing by, ready to introduce us into our next match.

[Jim Ross]
Folks, welcome back to Eye for an Eye, live from Memphis Tennessee. Tonight, we have already witnessed matches and moments that forever be etched in time. Our next match will be no exception, and perhaps it could excel anything we have ever seen before.

[Jerry Lawler]
Oh yeah JR, and I think the fans already know what match you’re talking about. Up next Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase will finally meet again, this time in an I Quit Match, and Hulk Hogan has promised this will be the end of their year long feud.

[Michael Cole]
Not only that, it will be the end of Ted DiBiase! Tonight’s not gonna be a good night, Ted is going to quit! I’ve got a feeling!

[Jim Ross]
Anyway, my broadcast partner King over here mentioned these two young superstars have been feuding for over a year now. Personally, along with many others, I would have to disagree. I think this feud goes back much further than Supremacy of last year.

[Michael Cole]
It all started when Ted abandoned Cody and…

[Jerry Lawler]
You know, JR, I think you’ve got a point. In all honesty, you could probably date this feud all the way back to the summer of 2011, where we saw the once “Dashing” Cody Rhodes take a turn for the worse.

[Michael Cole]
For the better, you mean.

[Jim Ross]
Yes, back in the Summer of 2011 Cody Rhodes accused then Breakdown General Manager Mick Foley of holding him back, and not giving him a shot at the Intercontinental Championship, which he truly believe he deserved.

[Jerry Lawler]
Yeah, and that is when Cody started to have a mental breakdown of sorts. He quit the company, but quickly came back to take his frustrations out on John Cena and Mick Foley, only to be turned back by Cena in a Last Man Standing match.

[Michael Cole]
Then on the next night, Cody forever changed the landscape of XWL when he and four other disgruntled superstars united to form the Resistance. They took the fight to Mick Foley, and Cody stepped up to the plate, challenging Foley to an Extreme Rules match in Madison Square Garden.

[Jim Ross]
Of course, as we all know Cody was able to defeat Mick Foley that night, and Breakdown would never be the same again. Because during that match Mick Foley was put out of action for a few weeks, and Cody was named the Interim General Manager.

[Jerry Lawler]
JR, don’t forget about Ted’s side of the story!

[Jim Ross]
I was getting there, King. During this time, Ted DiBiase had just gotten out of a long-winding feud with the Ministry of Darkness, and he had finally risen to the main event level in XWL as he engaged in memorable battles with former World Champions like Chris Jericho and the Rock. His rise came at the same time of another superstar, Edge.

[Michael Cole]
Edge decided to “join” Mick Foley in the fight against Cody Rhodes and his Resistance. Cody and Edge battled multiple times over the next few months, but during that time Cody was named Co-General Manager of Breakdown, and he was the greatest of all time!

[Jerry Lawler]
Beside the fact he abused his power, and regularly put himself in matches against the likes of Doink the Clown.

[Michael Cole]
I don’t know what you’re talking about, Doink is hailed as one of the greatest in-ring technicians of all time, and Bret Hart even called him the greatest performer he had ever seen. I’m pretty sure Ric Flair said the same thing.

[Jim Ross]
Then at Final Stand IV, Edge was victorious in his signature TLC match, therefore making Mick Foley the sole General Manager of Breakdown. The next night Edge would go one on one with Ted DiBiase, with the winner getting a shot at Justin Gabriel’s World Championship.

[Jerry Lawler]
Now, some people would say mangement was trying to hold Ted back here, and they thought he would be an easy victory for Edge. Ted was able to overcome the seemingly insurmountable odds and defeated Edge, earning a shot at the World Championship in the process.

[Michael Cole]
At Bad Blood the next month, it was perhaps the darkest day in XWL history when Ted DiBiase defeated Justin Gabriel to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.

[Jerry Lawler]
Ted was on top of the world, and he had overcome everyone in management who wanted to hold him down. He was finally the World Heavyweight Champion, but during this time Cody Rhodes left again and returned a changed man.

[Jim Ross]
After his battles against Mick Foley and XWL mangement, Cody adopted his persona, “The Dashingly Insane.” Cody was more sadistic, twisted, and cruel than ever, and he apparently had one goal in mind. Defeated Ted DiBiase.

[Jerry Lawler]
Cody was seemingly jealous that Ted was the one who had defied management, that Ted was now the World Heavyweight Champion. Cody believed he should have had Ted’s spot, and he finally got his shot to show the world at Night of Champions.

[Michael Cole]
Now, due to Ted’s reckless actions, Cody was injured during their match. Ted took the coward’s way out, he cheated to win and he hurt Cody to retain his World Title. This wasn’t the first time, however, and Cody realized this. He realized Ted was a threat to this company, so he started the #FireTed campaign, and he got Ted fired at Supremacy!

[Jim Ross]
Even though Cody would take another absence from XWL shortly after that, Ted DiBiase would come back looking for revenge on the woman who fired him, Vickie Guerrero. She was hell bent on ridding XWL of Ted, and sent Shawn Michaels after him. Those two fought on numerous occasions, with Ted finally getting his job back after defeating Shawn inside Hell in a Cell.

[Jerry Lawler]
Things were just getting started for Ted, because the next night Cody Rhodes returned and aligned with Vickie Guerrero. Cody brutally assaulted Ted in front of his poor family, and forced him to sign his contract in blood. That sight still gives me chills to this day.

[Michael Cole]
Cody would take it to Ted the next couple of months, defeating him at two straight pay-per-views in a row! Cody was on a roll, and the next month he defeated Dolph Ziggler to win the World Championship! And Ted had to count the pin! The roles were reversed!

[Jerry Lawler]
Cody’s reign was short lived, however, and he’ll blame Ted for it. He kind of has a point, as during a triple threat at Supremacy Ted hit Cody with the SIlencer, only for Dolph Ziggler to steal the pin and title.

[Jim Ross]
That led to Cody Rhodes and Vickie Guerrero using their crooked security to give Ted a blood bath in the center of the ring during the next Breakdown. Ted responded by breaking into Cody’s hotel in Dublin, with the ensuing brawl resulting in Cody being thrown into a river! A few weeks later, after another wild brawl, Hulk Hogan signed these two to collide in an I Quit match tonight. Everything has led to this moment, and neither of these men will ever be the same again after tonight.

DING DING DING

[Justin Roberts]
Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is an IIIIIIIIIII QUIT MATCH! The only way to win this match is to get your opponent to say the words “I quit.”

[???]
ATTENTION PLEASE.



[Michael Cole]
Yes! It’s Codyyyy time!

[Jerry Lawler]
Oh lord, give it a rest.

At the sound of Cody’s theme, the fans here in Tennessee unleash a flurry of hate for “The Dashingly Insane One.” He steps out onto the stage, but he doesn’t seem as cocky or confident as he normally is. He puts his head down and tugs on his hood a little, as he gazes across the arena at the sea of people booing him out of the building. He reaches the point where the stage and ramp intersect, where he kneels down and remains there for a few moments.



[Jim Ross]
Say what you want about Cody, but I know he wants this just as bad as Ted DiBiase. He’s not taking this lightly, he knows his career is on the line tonight and this pre-match ritual of sorts shows it.

[Jerry Lawler]
I’ve got this feeling in my stomach, this is going to be huge!

[Michael Cole]
I’m with you, King, Ted’s last match is almost here! Let’s go Cody! Let’s Go Cody!

[Jerry Lawler]
Would you shut up?

[Michael Cole]
Let’s go Cody!

Cody stands up and takes his head off, but something is different this time around. Normally when he takes his hood off, he lets out a smile or a bit of cackle, but not tonight. Tonight Cody Rhodes is stoic, he shows no emotion as he stands on the stage. He begins marching down the ramp, and you can tell how focused he is just by the look in his eyes. He stops at the end of the ramp, taking one more look across the arena.



[Justin Roberts]
Introducing first, from Marietta, Georgia, weighing in at two hundred and fifteen pounds… “The Dashingly Insane” Codyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Rrrrrrhhhhhhoooooooodes!

[Michael Cole]
Look at that face, that is a face of someone who’s determined, a face of a winner! The face of the Savior of XWL, XWL’S Finest, the Dashingly Insane!

Cody unzips his jacket and hands it to a ringside crew member, before taking a deep breathe in and heading up the steel steps. He climbs up onto the apron and wipes his boot, then going in through the middle rope and into the ring. He walks over to the corner closest to the XWL announce table, where he gets a firm grasp on the top rope. He looks around for a moment before climbing up and posing on the top.






As Cody's theme ends, Ted DiBiase's begins and the fans stand up eagerly looking to the stage with their signs held high, and their screams of excitement echoing throughout the entire building.





Ted leaps out from behind the curtain, fired up and ready to get the show on the road. Tonight this saga between he and Cody finally comes to an end, and you can tell just by looking at him that's he's ready to put this whole thing behind him once and for all.

[Jim Ross]
As always Ted looks focused, and ready to go to war with the man that ultimately started Ted's downward spiral. He started the Fire Ted campaign, and he won't be satisfied until Ted is once again gone from this company.

[Jerry Lawler]
Not only did he get him fired, he completely changed who Ted DiBiase is. Once he was a fun loving kind of guy, but now he's just so bitter and angry all the time. It's like he can't get over what happened, and Cody reminding him every single day of it, just messes with your psyche.

[Michael Cole]
Good, because he doesn't belong here! He's a liability that has no beneficial features whatsoever! He's a mad man, a loose cannon, that's the last thing we need in this company.


[Justin Roberts]
And introducing his opponent.... from Madison Mississippi.... weighing in at weighing in at TWO HUNDRED and Fourteen pounds...Ted DiBiase!!!

DiBiase high fives the fans on his descent down the ramp, turning the corner and doing the very same thing for that group of fans as well.



He smiles at them, but once he turns away, and sees Cody, that smile soon fades, and the anger he's built up over the last year boils inside of him, changing his entire mood in an instant. It's all Cody's fault, his bitterness got him fired, and it's been the cause of everything that's happened since then.

[Jerry Lawler]
That's the look of a determined man, a determined man you do not want to mess with.

[Michael Cole]
Like it matters, Cody is going to make him say I Quit and there's nothing he can do about it!


[Jim Ross]
We'll see about that, Cole.


Now in the ring Ted walks over to one side of the ring playing to the fans shouting out "It's time to kick some ass!" garnering loud cheers and a standing front row giving the same energy back that he's putting out.




The bell sounds and right off the bat Ted guns straight for Cody Rhodes! He's had enough of his antics, he's ready to finally ends this once and for all, with the look of determination radiating in his eyes, we know this truly is their final battle. Instead of cowering, Cody stands his ground, egging Ted on, waiting for him. The third generation superstar nears his bitter rival and opts for a clothesline to hopefully floor Cody in an instant. However that doesn't happen  because Rhodes instinctively ducks under it, takes a few steps forward and begins to smirk as Ted turns back around. "Aw, so close!" Cody raises his hand up mocking DiBiase and the fact that he didn't hit him. But then before Ted could try again, Cody suddenly throws both hands up telling him to wait.

[Jim Ross]
What's Cody doing? Is he throwing in the towel already?

[Jerry Lawler]
I wouldn't blame him, you can only run for so long before you get what's coming to you. And for Cody, I'd say that's the beating of a lifetime at the hands of the man he got fired last year.

[Michael Cole]
Don't be silly, he's not giving up, maybe, just maybe....he's showing how much of a better person he is by giving Ted the option to quit before it's too late.

[Jim Ross]
Too late?

[Jerry Lawler]
I'm with JR on this one, Ted's been on a vendetta for months now to get revenge for what Cody did to him, and nothing will make this man quit so easily now that he finally has Cody one on one, and with no rules to restrict him.

Ted stares at Cody with a cold expression, though laced with slight confusion. After a second or so Cody throws both hands into the air, his palms facing Ted's direction, and then yells out "I'm right here Ted!" Cody takes a few steps forward slowly inching closer to Ted, from the looks of it Cody's looking for a test of strength, but is Ted willing to play along, or does he even trust that this isn't going to be an attempt at blindsiding him? With Cody now just a few feet away, the call is completely up to Ted, does he follow through with the famous test of strength, to start this match off with a chance of emasculating Cody? After a moment, Ted looks Cody square in the eyes, and begins to raise his arms up, which starts to put a smile on the face of Cody Rhodes....until he's perhaps beaten to the punch when Ted suddenly drills him in the gut with a stiff kick!

[Michael Cole]
This is everyone's hero? What a blatant cheap shot!

[Jerry Lawler]
Ted didn't trust Cody's intentions and I can't blame him, boy did he sure wipe that arrogant expression of his face.

[Jim Ross]
That he did, and he knocked the wind out of him. Ted wasn't born yesterday, he's seen it all and he's not going to fall for something like that. Whether it was his intention to mislead Ted or not, Ted made the first move.

With a strong throw into the ropes, Cody goes flying halfway across the ring and bounces off the ropes with a wave of momentum sending him back to a waiting DiBiase. He's bent over, perhaps looking for a back body drop as soon as Cody comes back around, but that's not what happens. With some quick control of the situation Cody stops himself before he gets too close to Ted, then drops down to the mat throwing up a huge jab! But it's almost as if Ted saw it coming just in time to not only side step out of the way of it's path, but show off a family trade of his own by dropping his fist down across the forehead of Cody Rhodes.

[Jerry Lawler]
Very nice counter there from Ted, pulling off a fist drop his father would be proud of.

[Jim Ross]
And in such a fluid fashion too, as soon he dodged Cody's move he knew exactly what to do.

Michael Cole
Blah blah blah, if it's so good why is Cody up like nothing happened? Obviously because Ted's counter wasn't at all effective.

Though Cole's right to some extent, Cody still shakes off whatever effect that gave him. The match just began, Ted knew that move wouldn't keep him down, but it did show him he's not going to be outwitted so easily. Seemingly bothered by what just happened, Cody throws his hand up to Ted, then calls over the referee. Ted's not sure what's going on, but he's ready for whatever could come next, that is until he asks the referee for his microphone and that confuses everyone...."Do you quit? The referee asks, but is met by a now lowered head of Cody Rhodes holding his hand up for the microphone. He complies with Cody handing him the microphone, and as Ted expected to be hit with it, and prepared himself....Cody instead starts to raise it up to speak. Is he quitting already? Has this been enough to show him that is is a war he perhaps has no chance of winning?

[Cody Rhodes]
I......

[Jim Ross]
I can't believe it, this might be the fastest I Quit match in history.

[Michael Cole]
No Cody, no!

His frown turns into a sinister grin instantly as he charges right at Ted to attack him with a microphone! But Ted ducks under the swing, knowing better than perhaps everyone else that this was just not going to be that easy. Ted shows off an annoyed expression despite knowing it was coming, and it looks like Cody's made him angry, which surely won't make this any easier for the man that's yet to gain control of this match, and has had every attempt to predicted by Ted DiBiase. The cheers get loud in response for Ted evading that, but they don't last long because Cody in a showing off perhaps predicting something of his own, instantly backswings the microphone clonking Ted across the side of his head and dropping him to his hands and knees.

[Michael Cole]
Yes! Now that was smart!

[Jerry Lawler]
I'll give it to Cody, Ted as well as all of us thought DiBiase had once again been one step ahead of Cody...but it seems as if Cody was two steps ahead of Ted.

[Jim Ross]
These two men are very wise beyond their years, I know this match has only just begun, but I have a feeling we're in for a true classic here folks.


After taking Ted down to the mat, Cody laughs and tosses the microphone to the mat, but keeps it in the ring just incase he’ll need it later on. Ted has trouble getting up after the shot, and he remains on his hands and knees while Cody stands over him. Cody picks him up and tosses him into the corner, where he takes his head and rams it into the turnbuckle over and over until he finally decides to toss Ted back down to the mat. The fans hiss as Cody remains standing tall over Ted, but that doesn’t last for long. As Cody approaches him, Ted wails him in the gut with a right, and begins firing off with some more shots. Cody is able to block one and he takes the chance to hit a chop block, bringing Ted down to a knee. He bounces off the ropes and comes back with a bulldog, putting an end to Ted’s short burst of offense. Cody grabs Ted and throws him onto the middle rope, throat first, before placing a foot on his back and pulling up on the top! Cody is choking Ted out as he orders referee Charles Robinson to ask him if he quits.

[Charles Robinson]
Ted, do you quit?

[Jim Ross]
There’s no way, not this early!

[Jerry Lawler]
I don’t know, JR, Cody is choking the life out of him with that middle rope!

[Michael Cole]
Just quit already, Ted! For your own good!

*Cody puts more weight onto Ted by placing the other foot on his back, hoping to get him to say those two words early on in the match.*

[Cody Rhodes]
Come on!

[Charles Robinson]
What do you say, Ted?

[Ted DiBiase]
NO!

Ted is able to overpower Cody, and he slides under his legs. Before Cody has a chance to fall, Ted grabs his feet and pulls him down, causing his throat to crash into the top rope! Cody bounces off and crashes to the mat, where he begins to flop like a fish out of water as he holds his throat. As Cody rolls around in pain, Charles Robinson goes to see if Ted wants to ask him, but Ted refuses, and we know he’s not done with Cody yet. He probably won’t be for awhile, either. Ted looks to follow up on his counter, but Cody tries his best to squirm out. He begins to crawl, trying to get out of the ring, and Ted grabs ahold of his feet. Cody clings onto the apron in an attempt to get away, only for Ted to overpower him again and pull him into the ring.

[Michael Cole]
Oh come on! The man just needed a timeout, all great athletes do.

[Jim Ross]
To me it looked like Cody was trying to get the hell out of dodge there.

[Jerry Lawler]
And I wouldn’t blame him! Then again, I really want to see Ted kick his teeth in!

[Michael Cole]
You two and your bias commentary is ridiculous, focus on the match!

Ted is able to get Cody back in the center of the ring, but “The Dashingly Insane One” is able to kick him off after one boot nails him square in the jaw. Ted holds his jaw and Cody looks to capitalize and charges, only to be sidestepped and met with a shot to the back of the head. Cody is dazed as Ted begins to unload on him with a few hard rights, sending him back to the corner. Once he gets him there, Ted grabs him by the arm and whips him into the opposite side, where Cody is able to stop himself from crashing into the turnbuckles at the very last moment. Ted goes at him and is met with an elbow to the head, sending him back to the middle of the ring. Cody shoots off the ropes and he looks to try the uppercut from the mat again, shades of his brother Goldust, only for Ted to regroup and drop a knee on his head! Ted gets on top of him and pounds away at him, drilling shot after shot into his skull.

[Jerry Lawler]
Ah!

[Jim Ross]
Well, some people never learn!

[Michael Cole]
Third time’s the charm! He’ll get him!

*The fans cheer as Ted continues to hit Cody with his fists, and maybe next time Cody will leave that move to his brother. Ted finally lets up with the strike, but he is nowhere near done with his rival just yet. He yanks him off the floor and sends him off the ropes, taking him down with a clothesline on his way back. Cody shoots right back up to his feet, daze, and gets knocked down with another clothesline from Ted. Ted plays to the ground as he measures Cody, waiting for him to get back up before hitting another clothesline. Ted follows up with a snap scoop powerslam, shades of their mentor Randy Orton. Cody gets back up to his feet, still staggering, and he falls into the ropes. The ropes hold up for just a second, as Ted runs at him and takes him over with another clothesline. Ted remains in the ring as Cody flops to the outside, hitting the barricade on his way down. Cody can barely stand as Ted bounces off the ropes and looks for the Suicide Dive, but Cody creams him with the microphone through the middle rope before he can jump out of the ring!

[Jim Ross]
OH! Lights out!

[Michael Cole]
What a move by Cody! Clearly he strategically placed that microphone there earlier on in the match!

Cody slithers back onto the apron much to the dismay of almost everyone in the arena, excluding Cole of course who is screaming like a giddy school girl. Ted rolls around on the mat, feeling the effects of that head on collision with the microphone, and all while Cody stalks him. He grips the top rope with both hands firmly, he's looking for something, it's a position Cody isn't usually in but perhaps he's looking to catch Ted off guard by going deep into move pool to find something Ted won't see coming. DiBiase slowly starts to stagger to his feet, attempting to shake off the cob webs that have formed in his head after being railroaded by that microphone. Cody prepares to take flight, gliding his heels across the ring apron, steadying himself, readying himself and all until Ted's finally up, and the timing could not be more perfect! Cody leaps up into the air, springing into action.....but what he thought Ted wouldn't see coming, he sees perfectly clear and pounces onto the ropes, instantly making Cody lose his balance and he gets hung out to dry crashing onto the ropes like a blanket to a clothesline now draped over them and stunned!

[Jerry Lawler]
Whoa boy! Cody Rhodes just found out what it's like to be literally hung out to dry!

[Michael Cole]
Are you serious right now?! You're going to joke at a time like this? Cody could be seriously injured!

[Jim Ross]
Cody took a risk and it did NOT pay off, once again Ted DiBiase showing incredible ring awareness, he had just gotten back to his feet, and within the blink of an eye he thwarted Cody's springboard attempt.

Gasps and excited cheers have followed the instant where everything went wrong for Cody just as it seemed to be so right for him. The referee has absolutely become frozen and stunned, he's concerned about Cody's condition, but at the same time this all seems to have caught him off guard almost as much as Cody so he takes a moment to snap out of it. But once he does, he rushes to grab the microphone, only to have Ted snatch it out of his hand and throw it to the mat. He's not ready to end this match, just as Cody prolonged his torture in this last year, Ted's determined to make him feel exactly like he did before this comes to an end. Ted stares at the literally hungover Cody Rhodes, taking a few steps back, eyeing him for something, but what we can't quite figure out. Cody starts to look up, the breath completely taken out of him, he stares into Ted's eyes for a second and that's all it took. Right as he did Ted comes speeding at him like the road runner, launching off the mat, leaping forward with an unexpected roll over Cody! The fans immediately jump out of their seats as Ted follows through grabbing Cody in mid flight,  Cody's screams echo throughout the build as he's flung to the floor with incredible force from one hell of a sunset flip powerbomb!

[Michael Cole]
WHAT THE HELL! WHAT DID HE JUST DO!

[Jim Ross]
Good gawd almighty, he is broken in half! Cody Rhodes just absolutely decimated by that powerbomb!

[Jerry Lawler]
You can say that again! Ted DiBiase is one crazy son of a bitch!

"Holy Shit!" chants blast throughout the entire arena, the fans are unbelievably excited at what they just saw, and the cheers for Ted could not be any louder! He falls against the ring apron after that incredibly daring move, Cody splattered in front of him, and the referee losing his mind inside of the ring.

[Jim Ross]
Folks, that takes the cake. If that doesn't tell you how much Ted hates this man, how much he has put him through, how Cody has pushed him, I think Cody's going to regretting the moment he decided to mess with Ted, whether he wins this match or not, Cody's going to be feeling that for the rest of his life.

[Jerry Lawler]
I'm with the fans on this one, I can't get over what we just saw! Cody got dropped like a bad habit!

[Michael Cole]
SOMEONE GET A DAMN MEDIC! THIS IS WHY TED WAS FIRED, THIS IS WHY HE DOESN'T BELONG HERE, HE JUST KILLED CODY RHODES!

[Jerry Lawler]
Talk about over dramatic...if it was Cody that did that to Ted you'd be singing his praises.

While the ringside physician rushes to Cody's side, the fans are treated to an instant replay of what just went down. Multiple angles of the "Oh my god" worthy moment are replayed, including one that's been slowed down so much that you can see the very second Cody Rhodes knew he was screwed as he was launched off the ropes with that reckless maneuver. Once the replays finish, the "Holy Shit!" chants are still loud and strong, and Ted's now somewhat grinning in response to them. He's looking down at Cody, breathing heavily, but knowing he left his mark, he wanted to call Ted a liability, and he was right....he's a liability to Cody Rhodes' career. Ted steps over the near lifeless carcass of Rhodes, taking a moment to play to the fans by high fiving several of them while Cody's being scraped off the mat.

[Michael Cole]
This is sick, Ted is relishing in what he just did to that great man.

[Jerry Lawler]
Isn’t Cody the one who said he’ll take pleasure in maiming Ted tonight?

[Michael Cole]
I can’t seem to recall that, I think you’re mixing him up with a different Cody Rhodes.

[Jim Ross]
Oh brother.

Ted tries to get back to Cody, despite the fact the ringside physician is still checking over him, and is held back by Charles Robinson, who quickly plops down from the apron to restrain Ted. Ted gets in his face, telling him to step out of his, but the official refuses. Ted holds his hands at his sides and sighs, before turning his attention back to Robinson and warning him once more to step out of his way. Robinson tries to explain to him he cannot allow Cody to compete until the doctor clears him, and Ted tells him he doesn’t give a damn. He shoves him to the side and marches over to the doctor, who springs up to his feet and stops Ted. Ted starts to get it in with the doctor now, telling him the same thing he said to Charles Robinson - get out of his way or else. The doctor stands his ground as well, unintentionally giving Cody the opportunity to hit Ted with a low blow!*

[Jim Ross]
Dammit! What a cheap shot! Cody Rhodes used our ringside physician to distract Ted!

[Jerry Lawler]
There is no depth Cody will not stoop to!

[Michael Cole]
I don’t know what you guys are talking about, that was genius!

Ted falls to the mat like a tree would in the woods, while Cody falls backwards into the barricade. Clearly Cody has yet to fully recover from the sunset flip, as even such a simple move like a low blow has taken everything out of him. He drops to his knees and holds himself up using the barricade, before looking back towards his rival Ted and letting out a little smile at what he’s done. Charles Robinson goes over to Ted to make sure he’s alright, and Ted waves him off, despite the fact he still isn’t able to get up off the ground after the low blow. He crawls towards the steel steps, which he uses to slowly pull himself up off the ground. Cody finally regroups and spots him before marching over, shoving the doctor down to the ground in the process! Robinson looks on in shock before focusing his attention over to the doctor.

[Jim Ross]
Oh, come on! This kid has no shame! That man was just helping him, that man was just doing his job!

[Michael Cole]
Maybe next time he’ll stay out of the way!

[Jerry Lawler]
Don’t be ridiculous, that was way out of hand!

[Jim Ross]
It’s a damn shame this kid has been allowed to do whatever he wants and nobody has the guts to do anything about it!

[Jerry Lawler]
Oh, I think Ted plans on doing something about it.

Cody steps over Charles Robinson and the doctor as he gets to Ted, who has now positioned himself up on the steel steps. Cody uses this to his advantage and grabs Ted’s head, slamming it straight into the steel. He repeats this multiple times, slamming Ted’s head into the steel over and over, perhaps hoping to draw first blood in this match. It proves ineffective so Cody lays Ted’s hand out on the top stair before climbing back up onto the apron. He walks over to the ringpost where  Ted is under and measures his hand before stomping on it, driving it into the steel! Ted grabs his hand and falls back to the mat, hollering in pain, as it seems like Cody may have very well shattered his hands. Cody steps over his body and picks up the microphone before turning back to Ted, dropping down to his knee…

[Cody Rhodes]
What do you say, Ted? I’ll break that other hand too… do you quit?

[Jerry Lawler]
No, there’s no way!

[Jim Ross]
I don’t know, King, Ted’s hand could be shattered right now.

Cody shoves the microphone into Ted’s face, hoping to hear those two words…

[Ted DiBiase]
It’ll take a lot more than that you son of a…

Before Ted can finish his sentence, Cody drives the microphone right into his skull once again! The capacity crowd in Baltimore hiss, but Cody doesn’t give a damn as he continues to work over Ted. He yanks him up off the ground and grabs him by the arm, whipping him straight into the barricade. He charges full speed and goes for a clothesline, only to get dumped over the top with a back body drop! Cody’s spine crashes into the concrete floor, and now his spine has taken another nasty fall. One has got to wonder how many more times can his back take such a devastating hit before he finally gives up? With Cody down again, this gives Ted a moment to temporarily regroup. Once he sees Cody laying in the crowd, a little light bulb flashes over his head and he hops onto the barricade. He waits a moment, stalking Cody for a bit until he gets up to his feet. He leaps, taking Cody back to the floor with a clothesline off the barricade!

[Michael Cole]
What a reckless move by Ted! He’s going to hurt somebody out there!

[Jim Ross]
Ted is willing to risk it all to hurt Cody here tonight, will it pay off?
The fans have cleared the surrounding area, they know this is going to get crazy, it's going to be dangerous, and they're backing away just enough to protect themselves, but still watch it all go down right before their very eyes. Cody rolls around on the floor in agony, Ted favors his hand once more, he seemingly clipped it on a fan's chair when coming down with the clothesline. With nowhere for Rhodes to hide he backs against the barricade, holding his back as he writhes in pain every single second, he's hurting but much like Ted he has a lot of pride, pride that will not allow him to call it quits. He has a burning hatred for Ted DiBiase, and with the feeling all too mutual, we're in for a long fight, a fight that the the loser can't afford to lose. One of them will though, one of them will be forced to say "I Quit" the question is, which?


[Jerry Lawler]
We've got ourselves a good old fashioned fight in the crowd and man and I'm jealous! These fans are about to be treated to a fight of the ages.


[Jim Ross]
It's already been out of control and now that they're surrounded by fans at every corner, this could actually prove to benefit Cody Rhodes.

[Michael Cole]
Yeah! Wait, what?

[Jim Ross]
Ted's The "Man of The People" surely he'll care more about their regard, than Cody will? If Cody's smart, and I know that he is, he'll turn this match right in his favor.


Ted's back up to his feet, the fans are behind him, and his eyes have peered to one Cody Rhodes. He sees him trying to pull himself up using the barricade, and right away he's heading right for him. Cody looks up knowing he's gotta do something, and fast....so what does he do? With some quick thinking on his behalf, he side steps ever so slightly wrapping his boot around one of the fan's chairs, then kicks it over in Ted's path immediately tripping him up, and out of instincts he uses his hands to catch himself from taking a face plant into the floor. Which is exactly what Cody was hoping for, because the second he does, Cody has grabbed a second chair and brings it down onto the injuries hand of DiBiase, and the screams of absolute pain that follow are enough to make some fans turn their heads away, some parents block their children's ears, and even unnerve our commentary team. Well, everyone except Michael Cole who would have the sickest smile on his face if not for the one Cody is now sporting.


[Jerry Lawler]
That was just, I have no words for the sound we all just heard...I hope he's okay.

[Jim Ross]
If Ted's hand wasn't broken before, I think it's safe to say that is now...that scream, that wasn't your everyday ow that hurt scream...I think Cody might have just found his target in this match, as much as I hate to say that.

[Michael Cole]
My god, what's gotten into to you too? You act like someone died, where's the excitement?! Woo hoo, go Cody!


Ted remains on his knees, his hand held up by his other as he looks down at it showing clear signs of pain. He tries to move his fingers around and even ball up a fist, but each time he tried something, he'd get a shot of pain that stopped him right away. Cody seems to be enjoying the sight, but he knows he has to capitalize, the question is....how? He's got Ted to the point that if his hand isn't broken, it's close, and one final thing done to it could be enough to push Ted to the point of giving up. Or at least that's how it plays out in Cody's head, so he starts to look around, what can he use to aid him in this plan of his? Fan's look down at Ted concerned, knowing they themselves can't really do anything to help, but it's in that moment that Cody notices exactly what can help him, a stylish and overdressed fan. But it's not the man that'll help him, it's the belt he seems to be fiddling with already. Cody pushes through the spinal injuries he's endured in this match and rushes over to the man demanding his belt.

[Jim Ross]
Cody's trying to steal that fan's belt!

[Michael Cole]
That belt doesn't even go with those shoes, what was is he thinking? Thank god our savior is here to save him from this abomination of fashion.

[Jerry Lawler]
I don't even know how to respond to you anymore.


In the midst of Cody's charitable actions? Ted finds it in himself to jump off the floor, wincing for a moment due to the pain he's in because of what's been done to his hand. The fans begin to cheer, which tips Cody off immediately that something isn't right, so the second Ted walks over to Cody, places his hand on his shoulder and turns him around, he already knew exactly what to do! Ted balls his injured hand up, and swings for a hard punch! Cody showing off his quickness ducks down out of the way, and Ted's fist comes flying for the fashionable fan! Ted's barely able to stop the hook from knocking the man out, and right away he begins to yell out "I'm sorry!"


[Michael Cole]
Look at that! HE NEARLY ASSAULTED A FAN!

[Jerry Lawler]
You would spin this that way, wouldn't you?

Cody does exactly as JR predicted, and takes advantage of this by jumping behind Ted grabbing him by his trunks, then with all the force he can muster up sends Ted flying across the cleared area of the crowd, into all of the chairs that were set up but quickly discarded once this fight took to the crowd. Ted takes a straight row of chairs out with the force of his body flying into them and unfortunately for him he's still going! Sliding across the smashed and broken chairs like a slip and slide from hell Ted's journey comes to an end, and right into a plate of nachos!


[Jim Ross]
Good lord!

[Michael Cole]
Holy guacamole!

[Jerry Lawler]
What?

[Michael Cole]
He went face first into a plate of nachos, aren't you paying attention?

[Jerry Lawler]
JR, please....before I punch him.

[Jim Ross]
Er...that was a nasty collision Ted took folks, right into a whole row of chairs, who knew one throw could be so effective.


Cody laughs in almost cackling like manner, the referee Charles Robinson looks to him with a slight glance before Rhodes looks at him, then over at Ted, and with a stern silent gaze, the referee quickly pulls the microphone out of his back pocket and rushes over to Ted. Cody walks slowly not far behind, favoring his back by going slower than normal, but he seems to feel like he's got this in the bag now, and now it's time to see if he truly does. The referee kneels down to Ted's side, with Cody doing the same, though he chooses to stand in front of Ted, to enjoy this moment better.


[Charles Robinson]
What do you say, Ted? Do you quit?

Ted's face remains lodged in an almost full plate of nachos, is he unconscious?

[Charles Robinson]
I need an answer, Ted.

Cody growing annoyed with Robinson's poor approach he snatches the microphone away from him and inches closer to Ted, getting right in his "face" even though it's deep in a cheesy mess of chips at the moment.

[Cody Rhodes]
It's time to admit it, Ted...Admit that I am better than you, stop fooling yourself, stop giving these people false hope to believe in, just quit!

He leans forward, grabbing a handful of Ted's hair pulling his face out of the nachos, and right away Ted spits out a few tortilla chips that go flying in the eyes of Cody Rhodes firing up the fans with an excited glee!

[Michael Cole]
You've gotta be kidding me!

[Jerry Lawler]
Talk about using the environment to your advantage?

[Jim Ross]
I'll say!

With Cody blinded for the moment, Ted leaps off the floor picking Cody up over his shoulder partially and charges forward picking up a head of steam along the way making this trip Cody's about to go on become all the more painful. Fans begin to return back to their seats, or what's left of them to get a closer of look of what's about to go down...and that ends up being the entire portion of a barricade! Because Ted rams Cody straight into one of the barricades separating the ringside area from the crowd and it immediately gives way sending them both down with it.

[Jerry Lawler]
Jesus, JR! Did you just see that?!

[Jim Ross]
I sure did King, and it was bowling shoe ugly! That barricade is supposed to stand the force of any action near the fans, to protect them, but they plunged right through it like a wrecking ball!

[Michael Cole]
Who cares! Someone check on Cody! Look what that animal did to him!

The two men are still down and out, laying in the rubble of what was once the barricade. Charles Robinson watches on helpless, as not only have these two destroyed the arena in this fight, but they’ve destroyed each other’s bodies as well. It is a definite that neither of these men will ever be the same again after tonight, win or lose. Ted is the first man to stir, as he picks his head up and looks around for a bit, although he appears to be a bit dazed as he’s constantly blinking. Cody doesn’t pop up as quickly, and he remains motionless on top of the barricade. Ted finally sits up and Robinson asks him if he wants to see if Cody quits, but Ted declines and insists on carrying on the match for just a little longer. Ted picks Cody up and rolls onto the apron before jumping up onto it himself. He slides past the turnbuckle where he takes the wire running from a camera, and positions Cody up against the post, wrapping the cord around his neck and choking him out from the other apron!

[Jim Ross]
I don’t know how much longer Cody can hold out here, he’s taken too many hits to the neck and spine tonight.

[Michael Cole]
Cody’s a fighter, he’ll never quit! Come on Cody! Get him!

Ted pulls back on the cord a little more, leaning back so far Cody is taken off of his feet, and now “The Dashingly Insane One” is dangling over the ring post! Now, for the first time in this match, Ted tells Charles Robinson to ask Cody for an answer.

[Charles Robinson]
Cody, do your quit?

[Michael Cole]
No!

[Jerry Lawler]
He has to!

[Cody Rhodes]
Uh… uh… n… n… NO! NO!

Ted looks slightly disappointed, but takes solace in the fact that he gets to hurt Cody just a little more. He lets up on the cord and Cody drops to apron before slowly slipping back down to the floor. Ted throws the crowd down and gazes at the crowd, who shower him with cheers. A smirk grows on his face as he turns around to face Cody and takes a few steps backwards on the apron. Cody is still having some troubles getting back up to his feet, and he ends up pulling himself up off the ground using the still standing section of the barricade. He finally gets back on his feet, but he’s staggering as Ted makes his move. He charges and goes through the ringpost, connecting with quite the unique suicide dive that takes them both crashing into the barricade!

[Jim Ross]
It’s not often we see a suicide dive through the turnbuckles, what a move by Ted DiBiase!

[Jerry Lawler]
It’s clear he wants to hurt Cody, but I think he just hurt himself just as bad there!

[Michael Cole]
Look at this! Ted is out of control! Somebody needs to do something about this!

[Jerry Lawler]
Why don’t you do something about it then?

[Michael Cole]
Maybe I should, Cody does enough saving by himself in this company anyway!

As both men are sat up against the barricade, the fans in the front row reach over and slap them on their shoulders. Cody brushes them off and flips over to lay on his stomach as Ted is once again the first man up, and unlike Cody he gives all of the fans a high five. The few seconds he took to acknowledge the fans ended up costing him, however, as Cody got back up and rammed him straight into the barricade! He followed up by turning him around, driving him into the apron now! Cody’s not finished yet, however, and whips Ted head first into the steel ringpost, DiBiase ricocheting off like a bullet. Cody takes a deep breath before stepping over Ted and heading over to the announce table, where he tears off all of the covers and rips out all of the monitors. He pushes all of the papers and headsets to the floor, unaware Ted has gotten up too, and he takes Cody down with his busaiku knee!

[Jerry Lawler]
Whoa, Ted nearly took Cody’s head off there!

[Jim Ross]
These two have torn up our broadcast table now, I think they’re going to tear this entire arena to shreds by the end of this!

[Michael Cole]
Don’t you dare blame Cody for the destruction Ted is causing!

For some odd reason, Ted decides the XWL announce table isn’t good enough and heads over to the spanish announce table. He clears the top of the table and now both tables are ready to go, ready to punish the body of whichever unlucky superstar gets put through them here tonight at an Eye for an Eye. Ted grabs Cody and rolls him onto the XWL announce table, with the three commentators quickly backing away as far as they possibly can without getting disconnected. Ted panders to the crowd a bit, extending his arms and letting out a roar before looking back down at Cody. Cody grabs onto Ted’s legs, and Ted simply grabs him, setting him up for the powerbomb! Ted is going to powerbomb Cody off of one table and through another! He lifts him up onto his shoulder, but Cody slips out, only for Ted to immediately block any offense with a knee to the gut. He goes for the powerbomb again, but this time Cody lifts him over for the Alabama Slam and turned him around, driving him through the table with the move!

[Jim Ross]
OH! HIS BODY MAY BE BROKEN IN HALF! THE ALABAMA SLAM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

[Michael Cole]
YEAH! JUST QUIT ALREADY TED! LET’S GO CODY!

[Jerry Lawler]
I think Cody may have done it here!

Ted is out in the rubble of the spanish announce table, while Cody lays down on top of the XWL table. The Alabama Slam has taken a lot out of Rhodes too, and you better believe if this was Last Man Standing this match this would have been over ages ago. Cody finally sits up on the announce table, exhausted and out of breath with sweat pouring down from his forehead, and demands Charles Robinson asks Ted and gives him the answer he wants to hear. Charles goes over to Ted and knees down, first making sure he’s actually conscious and is aware of what is going on. Ted finally shows signs of consciousness when his eyes open and he lifts his head up, so Robinson wastes no more time in asking him if he quits.

[Charles Robinson]
Ted, do you quit?

[Ted DiBiase]
Never.

[Jim Ross]
By god! Ted will not quit! And Cody will not stop!

[Jerry Lawler]
Yeah, and neither of those are good for Ted.

The fans here in Tennessee explode, but Cody Rhodes is livid. He lays back down on the announce table and starts flailing his limbs, banging on top of the table with his hands and feet. He sits back up and slaps himself in the face twice before he smiles, which turns into that unmistakable cackle of his. He turns to Cole and tells him to “get ready” before hopping off the table and standing above Ted’s carcass. He grabs him by his shoulders and rolls him over a few times before he finally musters the strength to lift him up. From there he pushes his body to the apron, and lifts him in one limb at a time. Once his body is on the apron, he pushes him into the ring before heading back over to the announce table, grabbing a chair in the process. He slides back into the ring with the chair and sets it up in the center. He yanks Ted off the mat and sets him up for the Cross Rhodes before taking the microphone.

[Cody Rhodes]
Ted… make one wise… decision in your life for once… just quit already!

Cody stuffs the microphone in Ted’s face, nearly shoving it into his mouth and down his throat in the process.

[Ted DiBiase]
Do it!

[Cody Rhodes]
With pleasure.

And with that, Cody drops Ted onto the chair with the Cross Rhodes! The chair itself is now dented and can no longer be used, so Cody kicks it out of the ring. Ted has been knocked out once more, and Cody turns his attention over to Michael Cole, telling him to get into the ring. Cole complies and takes off his headset, leaving them at the commentary booth. JR and King watch on in confusion as Cole gets up from his chair, walks on over to the ring, climbs up the steps, and enters through the ropes to a massive amount of heat from the crowd.

[Jerry Lawler]
What is that idiot doing?

[Jim Ross]
I don’t know and I don’t like it.

Cole stands in the corner as Cody locks Ted in a headlock before raising the microphone up, preparing to speak once more.

[Cody Rhodes]
I will give you one final chance, Ted. Just say it! Quit!

[Ted DiBiase]
No!

[Cody Rhodes]
Say it!

After Cody finishes speaking, it seems like he pulls something out of his left boot, and he tries to do it as nonchalantly as possible. He succeeds where it counts, as referee Charles Robinson is totally oblivious to the fast one he is trying to pull. He throws the object behind his back, chucking it at Cole, who tries his best to catch it. Being as uncoordinated as he is, he fumbled around trying to catch it and it creams him in the head! The fans laugh as he falls back into the corner before walking out in a straight line, then flopping to the mat Ric Flair style! Cody stands up and looks down at him, shaking his head. The camera reveals the object was a phone, and it appears Cody just knocked Cole out with his phone! The arena has gone nuts!

[Jim Ross]
Oh my lord.

[Jerry Lawler]
Hahahahahaha! This might be the greatest match of all time, JR!

Cole rolls out of the ring, humiliated, as Cody quickly forgets about him and shifts his focus back onto Ted. As Ted struggles to get back up, Cody taunts him and slaps him around a bit, even slapping him in the face a couple of times and screaming at him to “JUST QUIT ALREADY!” He yanks him away from the ropes and drags him to the center of the ring, where he sets up for the Cross Rhodes again! Ted is able to slip out of this one, and he locks in the Million Dollar Dream! He’s going for The Silencer! Cody surprises him by getting out with a victory roll, only for Cody to break the pin attempt (for obvious reasons) and go for the Beautiful Disaster Kick, which gets ducked! Cody lands awkwardly on one knee, and Ted capitalizes with a dropkick! Ted must of forgotten about his hand for a moment, because he put it down to break his fall and the impact seems to have done even more damage to it!.

[Jim Ross]
What an incredible sequence of moves there from these two young athletes!

[Jerry Lawler]
Yeah, JR, but I think Ted did even more damage to his hand there on the landing! That’s gotta factor in at some point, and I think that may be Ted’s downfall.

[Jim Ross]
I just hope Ted can swallow his pride before he does some serious damage to himself.

[Jerry Lawler]
I don’t think he can,  I don’t think he’s willing to give Cody the satisfaction!


Ted pounds the mat with his good hand, frustrated by the shot of pain he just felt there. Cody rolls over to the corner, slowly getting back to his feet, and Ted knows he has to follow up, it's now or never. He jumps to his feet charging into the corner Cody's slumped against, leaps off the mat extending his forearm and connects with a stiff shot! Right away Rhodes starts to fall forward, seemingly knocked out, but Ted's not done there he shoves back into the corner then mounts onto the second rope, pulling Cody's head back with a tight grip of his hair, then raises his fist into the air to the audience's delight and begins to unload with a flurry of closed fist shots that the fans can't help but count along with!

The arena is full of life as Ted stops just before the tenth, looking out into the sold-out building, the cheers echoing through his ears, Cody getting lower and lower into the turnbuckle, and a trickle of blood begins to make it's way down Cody's forehead. DiBiase looks at his fist, noticing the signs of blood, and he reacts to this in a very chilling way, flashing a smile....is he thinking about how Cody's left him in a puddle of his own blood, and now this is his chance to do the same? Is the feeling of retribution flowing through him just as the blood flows down his rival's face? He raises his fist up into the air, teasing the final tenth blow, garnering the reaction he wants, loud cheers, excited screams, and and cries of Michael Cole demonizing him as he dramatically holds his head acting like he's been hit with a steel chair, when in reality his own lack of hand eye coordination resulted in him being the first person ever to be knocked out on live television by a cellphone. However Ted hams it up for a little too long, perhaps enjoying the fact that Cody was in such a prone position he had a lapse of judgment....but it's about to cost him. As everyone looks, Cody starts to move, Ted's still looking to the audience, the cheers die down though and he knows something is wrong! Rhodes drops down under Ted ducking under him to get away from him, but he's not fleeing, he immediately pushes Ted forward he lands crotch first right on the top turnbuckle! The look on his face says it all, every man in the arena, and surely watching at home feels his pain, but Cody simply enjoys it.


[Jim Ross]
Ooh! I could feel that all the way over here!

[Jerry Lawler]
Ted got too caught up in the moment and he paid for it...or I should say he paid the price of possibly not having anymore kids after that one.

[Jim Ross]
But is it enough to make Ted quit? That is after all the intent in this type of match, to make your opponent say those two spirit crushing words, but for Ted's sake I don't think anything else needs to be crushed.



Unlike Ted though, Cody puts his enjoyment aside and wastes no time in continuing his onslaught. He grabs Ted by his ankles pulling his legs towards him, with Ted  still feeling the effects of that move all he can do is try to hold onto the top rope in case Cody is trying to drag him away from it. But that's not what he's trying to do at all, he lifts Ted's leg all the way up, making his body level with the ropes, then looks around with a coy smirk on his face swiftly kicking Ted through his legs straight into the abdomen!


[Jerry Lawler]
A very well executed variation of one of Cody's signature moves adapted by Bob Holly, this man might be as low down and dirty as it gets....but he's very crafty and has learned a lot from his mentors over the years.

[Jim Ross]
That he has, I'd almost say Cody is one of the smartest in ring competitors we have, because he's gained so much knowledge throughout the years, and the more you know, the better chances you have of coming up with the right move at the right time.


Ted falls back against the corner, holding his stomach, but he has no time to recover because Cody grabs him from behind interlocking his head under his arm, and begins to drag him backwards setting up for another Cross Rhodes! The fans boo, and Ted struggles, not making this easy for Cody one bit. He uses his leg strength to push them both back against the ropes, trying to somehow pull away from him, but when that doesn't work he starts to unleash several back elbow shots. Cody's resistant to them though, endures the first few then hatches an idea that we're instantly confused by....with Ted trying to do whatever he can to get free, Cody ducks down for a moment stepping through the ropes and out onto the apron. His hold still in tact, Ted still swinging away but missing completely, until he's suddenly being pulled backwards and with the grip so tight it's almost blocking his air pathway so he's got no choice but to stop his resistance and step out onto the apron with Cody! The fans start to get up from their seats, unsure of what the hell Cody is thinking, and the referee has a frightened look on his face as he already starts to wince at the possible things that could happen in this scenario.


[Jerry Lawler]
What the hell is Cody doing?!


[Jim Ross]
I'll be damned if I know but dammit I can't look away!



Cody begins to cackle like a mad man, then looks right into the direction of the camera, flashes an equally as disturbing smile....and looks to attempt Cross Rhodes! But DiBiase puts a quick stop to that, nailing a back elbow, breaking free of his grip and starts to fire away with punch after punch. Each shot makes Cody stumble each time one connects, his footing is nearly lost quite a few times, he barely stays up on the apron but after being wailed on for a few seconds he starts to fight back. Nailing some strikes of his own Ted starts to stumble back only to stumble forward with a punch that makes Cody repeat the exact same process and we're now watching a fist fight on the apron! The usual "Yay!" each time DiBiase connects, and the "Boo!" when Cody does. Ted starts to gain momentum, hitting one, two, three, four, five in a row! The arena's cheers get louder with each one, he swings for a sixth, but Cody ducks under it then does something that he might live to regret....that's if he lives...because once he ducks Ted's hook, he swings back and with a powerful force behind it he slaps DiBiase straight across the face! A loud "Ohhhhhhhhhh!" follows in response from the fans, Ted nearly spins from the whiplash of it, turning slightly away from Cody, his rage building at a rapid pace, his face turning a bright red, his breathing heavily increasing with each second! He grips the ropes tightly, about ready to go off on Cody in a blind furry, but....wait....WHAT'S THIS?! As Ted's getting over the disrespect of being slapped, Cody acts fast grabbing Ted from behind, hooking him almost immediately and jumps off the apron as he spins out with a Cross Rhodes onto the edge of the apron!


[Jim Ross]
Bah gawd!!! Ted's skull just smacked right off that apron like it owed him money!

[Jerry Lawler]
I can't believe we just saw that! Was that Cross Rhodes onto the apron?! Cody's pulling out all the stops tonight, Ted had an early lead, but Cody's slowly getting ahead, and with moves like that...Ted might have no choice but to quit!

[Jim Ross]
That was unbelievable folks, the precision, the timing, Cody landed that perfectly, and I don't know if he'll be able to recover.


The arena lets out a loud unified "Holy Shit!" chant much louder than the one we heard earlier into this match, the way Ted's skull bounced off the edge of the apron, and Ted's injured hand flung against the side of the ring in turn, truly was a gruesome sight to see, and while most of the fans are on Ted's side...the fact that they just saw something so crazy like that be pulled off to perfection, just has them going nuts. The chant slowly starts to dissipate though, and is replaced with a new one, perhaps even more fitting than the first... "This is awesome!" clapping and stomping follows the words echoing throughout the audience. Cody's fallen to the floor exhausted, but satisfied with himself, while Ted's rolled off the apron now, lying flat on his face on the outside, not far from Cody, but not moving a single inch since he flopped down to the floor.


[Jerry Lawler]
I agree with the fans, this is awesome!

[Jim Ross]
Awesome indeed, King. Wow, I just can't get over the craziness that has broken out in this match. You can't even call it a match, it's a fight, a fight that is pushing both men to their limits, and even past that!

[Jerry Lawler]
This is an all out war!


"Get over here!" The "Dashingly Insane" Cody Rhodes screams Charles Robinson, wanting him to do his job and ask Ted if he wants to quit, that is if he's even conscious after the way his head collided with the side of the ring. The referee grabs his microphone, slowly stepping out of the ring, he looks quite concerned at the fact that Ted's motionless, and as he tries to first see if he's okay, he's stopped by Cody's screams. "What the hell are you doing?!" Cody stares at the official with an angered glare "Make him quit!" he demands, but it's not up to the referee...this match is only ended when either man utters the words "I Quit" no matter the condition, if they don't say it, he has no choice but to allow the match to continue. He nods trying to appease Cody, kneeling down to Ted's level, trying to softly speak to him, gingerly attempting to turn him over....but yet again Cody intervenes shoving the referee to the floor and snatching the microphone out of his hand. "If you won't do it I will!" Rhodes grabs Ted by his arm yanking him off the floor, though he's still limp and lifeless, he tugs at him positioning him against the side of the ring so he's forced to sit up, though Ted still slumps forward as Cody gets right in his face.


[Cody Rhodes]
Give up!

He slaps him across the face, but to no reaction from Ted, which pisses Cody off even more.

[Cody Rhodes]
These people don't believe in you, you're all alone in this world Teddy, now quit!

Cody grips Ted by his jaw, digging his fingers into his skin shaking him around to get the result he desires.

[Cody Rhodes]
Say it!

Boos are the only thing we can hear in the midst of Cody's screaming, the fans are rooting for Ted obviously, but it doesn't look good for him, Cody's in completely control...and Ted doesn't even appear to be conscious. Cody throws the microphone away, sending it scattering across the floor which results in the referee chasing after it while Cody's frustration only becomes more and more intense. He places both hands on the sides of Ted's head, and begins to shake him repeatedly shouting the same thing. "Quit!" over and over he screams "Quit!" his tone begins to almost become worrisome, because he's not getting his desired result, Ted's yet to quit, after everything he's done, after the potential injuries he's endured, he refuses to say it, and that possibly pissed Cody off more than anything Ted's done to him this match, it's not what he's done to him, but what he hasn't done that's sent Rhodes off on a tangent. "I've had enough of you!" "Quit! Quit! Qui-" just when it seemed like Cody would never shut the hell up, Ted silences him as he comes to and rams him head on with a headbutt!


[Jim Ross]
There's just no quit in Ted DiBiase!

[Jerry Lawler]
It' sure starting to look that way!

The shock on Cody's face says it all, he backs against the barricade almost as if he had seen a ghost. After what he did just did few minutes ago, how in the hell did he have enough in him to deliver a headbutt with such power? Ted's eyes begin to pierce through Cody like sharpened daggers, his face reddening with anger, and Rhodes is in a frozen like state, knowing his goose is cooked. Ted looks at Cody a second longer until he pops off the floor and right away Cody gets the hell outta there making a beeline straight to the ramp! Ted shakes his head, perhaps a bit delirious but he dashes after Cody like a lion after it's prey! Cody hightails it up the ramp, trying to flee from the situation but as he comes to the end of the stage...he realizes this could've possibly been the wrong way to run. On all sides of him are huge ledges with big spotlights at the end of them, and he's too exhausted to run anymore so going backstage is completely out of the question.


[Jim Ross]
He's got him cornered!


[Jerry Lawler]
I would not wanna be Cody Rhodes right now!


Slowly walks up an equally as exhausted Ted DiBiase, but he's not letting that stop him at all. He approaches Cody, Rhodes backing away until there's nowhere left to go! He's reached the end of the stage, as he tries to take one step more he just barely stops himself and looks back at his dangerous surroundings. With Ted giving him a look that could kill if that were at all possible...Cody looks to his right, then his left, then swings for a punch but Ted catches his fist! However he blocked the punch with his bad hand, and immediately his grip is broken, and Cody's smile returns as he grabs Ted by his injured hand, then looks behind him at the spotlight and with a deranged look in his eyes begins to scream at him.


[Cody Rhodes]
Last chance, Teddy! Quit!

Gripping his perhaps broken hand quite tightly, he squeezes it then yells again.

[Cody Rhodes]
Quit!

[Ted DiBiase]
Ah...I.....NO! NEVER!


Cody almost made him say it! Ted was halfway there before he stopped himself, and this fact alone has Cody smiling even more than he was....because he knows he's close, he knows he just has to do one last thing....and with the spotlight looming behind them, now could be that moment. Cody plants his feet firmly on the steel grates below them then with all of the strength he's got left he starts to Irish whip Ted in the direction of the spotlight! But as he tries to let go, Ted grips Cody's hand tightly, fighting through the pain and manages to turn the whip around on him!

[Ted DiBiase]
SAY IT!

[Cody Rhodes]
N-.....I......I.......

Cody's sent flying almost off the stage, but he surprises everyone, perhaps even himself when he manages to avoid going through the light and instead lands on the brim of it pushing himself back like he would when usually going for The Beautiful Disaster, and that's exactly what he's doing! Cody Rhodes springs right off the spotlight kicking himself backwards with a wave of momentum on his side and Ted has absolutely no time to counter resulting in him having his head nearly kicked right off his shoulders! He falls in an almost spin out like motion landing on is hands and knees, dazed as could possibly be!

[Jerry Lawler]
Whoa!! Cody Rhodes just hit The Beautiful Disaster off a spotlight! Talk about being light on your feet that was incredible!

[Jim Ross]
Ted didn't know what the hell to do after that, Cody should've gone through the spotlight but instead he managed to save himself at the last second!


The fans boo as Cody holds his arm up with a snarl on his face, he's ready to end this, and he's determined to have that Spotlight be the reason Ted symbolically in his mind, would never be in the "spotlight" again. He grabs a hold of Ted by the waistband of his trunks, pulling him off the ground, then tries to chuck him off the stage only for Ted spin out behind him somehow and he immediately grabs him from behind, both men at the absolute edge of the stage and Cody's frightened screams are enough to shatter glass at this point! Unluckily for him, that's exactly what's below him, a glass lens sat in a huge spotlight frame, and it looks to have his name on it! The arena pops as Ted's got Cody set up for The Silencer! But he's not looking to slam him on the stage, or even off of it....he looks down at the same spotlight Cody's tried to throw him into several times now....and Cody begins to plead him knowing exactly what he's got planned!

[Cody Rhodes]
NO! NO! PLEASE! I'M SORRY!

However Ted's grip doesn't falter, Cody's eyes begin to bulge out of their sockets out of fright, and right as Ted prepares to launch him into the air.....

[Cody Rhodes]
No....No.....NO!!! I......I......


He doesn't wait for him to continue, he lifts him up high into the air, and Cody's life flashes before his eyes once his feet leave the floor!

[Cody Rhodes]
I QUIT! I QUIT! I QUIT!


The fans instantly let out a loud pop and Ted breaks his grip, allowing Cody to collapse in front of him as the referee calls for the bell!

[Jerry Lawler]
HE SAID IT!


[Jim Ross]
TED'S DONE IT! HE'S FINALLY BEATEN CODY RHODES!

[Jerry Lawler]
It was either that or Cody was about to lose a lot more than his career!


Cody stumbles up to his feet, shouting out in anger, stomping the floor, throwing an absolute fit! Ted's instant excitement fades though....he smiled the moment Cody said I Quit, it lifted a huge weight of his shoulders....but he's now looking at Cody with a cold gaze....one that Cody doesn't notice, and it's TOO LATE! Ted starts charging right at Cody off to his side grabbing a hold of his head and begins to jump off the stage as he floats over Cody planting him THROUGH THE SPOTLIGHT!


[Jim Ross]
JESUS CHRIST!

[Jerry Lawler]
OH NO! WHAT THE.....TED JUST DDT'D CODY THROUGH THE SPOTLIGHT!


The glass shatters into a million pieces as Cody's spiked through it with the biggest float over DDT you've ever seen! Ted collapses to the floor taking a nasty spill in the process, but his eyes don't leave the broken spot light, where his rival now lays....medics rush onto the scene in a swarm from the back, as Ted's cold gaze is zoomed in on and we fade away abruptly.

Christian has done it! Christian is the new World Heavyweight Champion! The Memphis crowd goes wild as his theme begins to play following the Spear and the three count on the now former World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho. Christian lets go of the pin as the referee calls for the bell. He quickly gets to his knees as he raises his arms up into the air, celebrating the big win that he managed to pick up here tonight. The referee approaches Christian with the World Heavyweight Championship in hand and Christian quickly snatches it away as he gets to his feet, holding his championship up in the air as the referee raises her other hand in the air.

[Jerry Lawler]
What a win for Christian! He managed to do something that hasn't been dong in a couple of years now!

[Jim Ross]
Not only that, but Christian makes history by being the first original briefcase holder to cash in!

Christian removes his arm from the hand of the referee as he makes his way over towards the turnbuckle. He takes a step up onto the second rope as he looks around the arena before holding his championship up into the air for the entire crowd to see.



[Michael Cole]
Dolph Ziggler and now Chris Jericho are both cheated out of a World Heavyweight Championship match! This isn't right!

[Jerry Lawler]
You may be right, Christian is going to be facing Alberto Del Rio at the Monster Bash! Where does this leave Jericho and Ziggler?

[Jim Ross]
Who knows, King, who knows. What we do know is that we have a great World Heavyweight Championship match come next event. A man who just entered his first reign versus a man who is looking for his first reign.

Christian lowers his championship and looks at it, taking in the moment that he had been dreaming of for years and years now. The Eye for an Eye logo appears in the corner, signaling the end of the show as Christian once again holds the championship up high in the air with one arm while using his other arm to look out into the crowd. The screen then begins to face to black with Christian celebrating his big win as the last thing we see before the show comes to a close.
