XWL Breakdown: 8/8/2014 - 8/15/2014

The date is August 8th and Breakdown is set for another iconic edition in its longstanding history. We've got the deck stacked tonight: a divas contendership match, a champion versus champion match, and we've even got a six-man tag match as our Main Event. The typical pyro sounds off as is to be expected and the fans are buzzing for what's bound to be an amazing show, as always. Anyways, though the live audience doesn't know it (bar the few fans sitting directly behind the commentators table) the show directly skips the classic opening-commentary and veers directly to The Miz who is standing backstage alongside Renee Young seemingly awaiting an interview. Of course, the newly-born Hollywood Sensation is dressed to the nines with his stunning attire which has to cost him a lot from the pockets.



Renee Young
Miz, you returned two weeks ago, but last week you were nowhere to be seen. Can you explain that?

The Miz
Well, Renee, it's quite simple actually. Some people around here just don't have very much going on so you'll see them around every week. I'm talking about your Cenas, your Teds, your HBKs, those are the type of guys who live just for wrestling. However, I'd like to remind you that I, The Miz, am a multi-platform success which includes my soon-to-be legendary acting career. I know, I know... XWL gets awfully boring without me around and... you know, I almost feel sorry for you guys. But Renee, I just can't commit to being here every week and that's something you're all going to have to accept whether you like it or not.

Renee Young
Well, if you were too busy to show up, then what were you doing Miz?

The Miz
I made a cameo appearance for a television show and I even added a couple of scenes in my newest film project, but I'm not allowed to tell you anything more than that. You see, Renee, I'm in the know and you... and all of you fans out there, are not. I'm on magazine covers and I can be found on any station your television gets. Have you ever been on a magazine, Renee?

Renee Young
Well, I-

The Miz
It doesn't matter whether or not you've been on a magazine because even if you have you haven't graced the cover of that magazine like only this...

The Miz gestures with his pointer finger to his own face and he leans his head down a tad to be able to peak out from behind his sunglasses.

The Miz
can. Let me remind you, Renee, wrestling doesn't come first in my life. Let's take a flash back all the way to the time when the sensation that has grown into The Miz was first discovered... Tough Enough, 2006. I think you'd be smart if you remembered that I was already starring on hit networks such as MTV when I was first discovered in wrestling... Acting, Hollywood, has always been number one in my life. This? This is just a side show that I like to run on my off-days and do you know why? Because I can... because I'm the most versatile star in all of the entertainment industry! I can act, I can model, and I can even wrestle. Soon enough, the whole world will be saying the name... The Miz.



Renee Young
That sounds great, Miz. However, I also wanted to ask you about one other thing. When you first returned you were set to face Richochet who managed to upset you on your return match and his very first in the company. How did that make you feel?

The Miz
How did that make me feel, Renee? Really? You're going to ask me... how I felt? I'd be lying to you if I told you that I cared because let's face the facts that little runt has already lost his contract here and that's all that matters. I didn't even show up last week and I still have a contract, but Richochet wasn't nearly as fortunate. I'd like to see Richochet wrestle a match after a three hour photography shoot because I don't think he'd be at the top of his game, either. And that's not all, either. When you live the life of a star sleep becomes a luxury and the night before that day I'd stayed up until 2 A.M. shooting night scenes in a movie, then I woke up at 4 A.M. to get in my daily workout to keep my million-dollar body intact and then I spent the rest of the day doing so many different things that Richochet couldn't wrap his head around that it was inevitable he'd win. My mind was on at least thirty things more important than he was and it wasn't until Richochet actually defeated me that I began to focus at all.

Renee Young
Is that your explanation for the attack on Randy Orton?

The Miz
Really? You needed to interrupt me to say that? You couldn't wait just one second for me to get there? Look, you do your job and I'll do mine and let's keep it that way. Anyways, yes, Randy Orton came out after my match for who knows what reason and he got into a scuffle with Richochet that I really don't care about, but I saw Orton standing in the middle of that ring... celebrating. He says he has the looks, he has the name, he thinks he has everything! Do you know what else he thinks? He thinks he's me! Randy Orton will never be able to do the things that I do, but he thinks that he can and that drives me crazy. So, needless to say, when I saw the opportunity to drive a point home to him I took it. And then, then we all saw who was the best superstar in that ring... me.

Renee Young
Well, last week you were scheduled to face Dolph Ziggler, but that match never happened due to you not showing up. How do you feel you'll do against your opponent this week... Goldust?



The Miz
I've never seen a bigger train-wreck in my life. I never quite understood Goldust because he just looks so... so, I don't even want to comment. I really don't want to waste my time talking about a freak like that. How about you ask me a better question, okay?

Renee Young
I've only got one question left. Seeing as you're a sensation in and outside of the ring now, are you pursuing any titles? And, if so, will your time spent filming interfere at all?

The Miz
Renee, if I really wanted, I could buy any gold that I wanted to. I've got that much money. You know what, though? It doesn't have the same feel to it. I'm about competing in everything I do. I'm going to win Oscars and I'm going to win Championships... becoming the first ever person to win both in the same year. And, yes, for an ordinary man my schedule may limit me, but I'm no ordinary man. I'm the most talented, most must-see wrestler of all times and I assure you that I will reach heights of super-stardom that even make XWL's Greats wish they could be me... not that they already don't. I have it all. Even look at my wife, Maryse! She's the best looking wife anyone could have and do you know why I have all of these things, Renee?

Renee Young
No, I don't.

The Miz
Because I'm The Miz...

Miz lowers his glasses once more as he peaks out at the audience before continuing.

The Miz
And I'm...

He grins to himself and the crowd, though he can't hear it backstage, lets out some boos.

AWWWWWWEEESOMEEEEEE

A familiar face has appeared on the screen, a diva known as Sasha Banks she has made a brief appearance here in XWL before but never really stuck around. Really ixed reaction from the crowd considering the last time she was seen in an XWL ring was in a tag team match with her Bff Charlotte. Some fans are even wondering were is Charlotte, Sasha's never been seen without her posse around. Sasha is sitting in a chair with the camera man giving her a signal to begin, and she does.

(Sasha Banks)
I know I know you all are wondering where is the Bff posse, wheres Charlotte wheres Summer? There is no more Bff its done, its over I finally realized I cant make a name for myself being in the shadows of another women. I am Sasha Banks The Boss for Christ stakes I have so much potential that I have not been able to show you guys, now that I'm in the main roster by myself with no distractions I could finally do me and do what I love to do which Is wrestle. Show of my skills and get the attention of all you people and most defiantly the divas backstage who have been doubting me since day 1. But The Boss is here and its my time.


(Sasha Banks)
Your probably wondering what my intentions are here i XWL well I'm going to tell you, I want to be something, I want to make something of myself, I want to leave this company with people saying "Wow now that was a diva" I want to be the greatest diva that stepped foot in this industry, I dont want to be just another face here. No more living in the shadows, no more being known as just Charlotte's little friend, as Snopp Dogs cousin, Im much more than that and that's what I'm here to prove. And I could do that with or without your support.


The boos begin to take over the cheers, seems the crowd still doesnt get along with The Boss Sasha Banks considering her recent actions that took place in XWL. Sasha does not take this very well and begins to talk some more.

(Sasha Banks)
Well who cares if you guys dont want to support me, I surely dont like I said I could do it with or without you guys and when I accomplish everything its going to feel so good rubbing it in you guys stupid faces. Dont see how you guys could still be tripping over some little things I did months ago with Charlotte. I told you I am a new and more improved Sasha Im more fierce, more dominant, alot more advanced then just Charlottes Bff. Im Sasha Banks and Im The Boss plain and simpe, end of discussion!


Sasha stands up from the seat flicks her hair and rolls her eyes and walk away leaving the screen pointed at the empty chair.

The following graphic is displayed on the titantron for the live audience to see, and in a full-screen image for the viewers at home watching on TV:



[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well folks, there you see it.  Last week Chris Jericho invited Paul Heyman onto the Highlight Reel and as you can see he's accepted!

[Jim Ross]
Fireworks are sure to fly when the two face off in a verbal battle later on tonight.  After all that has transpired between Jericho and Cesaro over the past few weeks, and not to mention Jericho has bad-mouthed Heyman's other clients and demeaned Heyman's own character and integrity as a human being... it all adds up to something you definitely don't want to miss!

Breakdown continues...

The camera's head to the backstage area where we see Nikki Bella, standing beside her partner, the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena, they seem to be in deep discussion...

Nikki Bella
I just don't trust her, John...

John Cena
I'm sure her intentions are all above board, Nikki. She's a woman of business, she won't make any decisions if it doesn't benefit the company.

Nikki Bella
You mean if it doesn't benefit her... Brie hasn't done anything to her, but still she treats her like dirt.

John Cena
You're probably just reading too much into it.

Nikki Bella
I'm not. She doesn't like Brie, I mean she pretty much told me so herself two weeks ago. She said she was glad that I'd chosen to return without my 'screeching banshee of a sister'. And then just last week, that look she gave her... I'm pretty sure she's the reason that Brie was attacked last week too.

John Cena
Stephanie wouldn't do that. Don't forget, you were attacked last week too Nikki, and Stephanie adores you, she'd never intentionally harm you, especially not while I've got this.

Cena adjusts the championship draped over his shoulder while Nikki thinks about what he said.

Nikki Bella
I guess... But I still don't trust her, John. Please, just be careful with her.

John Cena
Don't worry, I can handle myself, and you can handle yourself, but if I do find out that she was responsible, I promise you, she won't have the opportunity to regret it.

Nikki smiles softly, reassured by Cena comforting her and wraps her arms around him, and he responds with the same gesture, wrapping his arms around her.


???
Aw, look at the happy couple.

That wretched shrilled tone can only belong to one person, the woman that will meet Nikki Bella later on tonight in that ring, Layla. Nikki sighs deeply as those words echo through her ears, meanwhile John isn't quite sure what to think. They pull apart and both stare at Layla who has the most annoyingly fake smile on her face.

Layla
John I'm sorry I haven't had the chance, but I want to congratulate you on becoming World Heavyweight Champion.

Nikki eyes Layla sternly, wondering what the point of this is, meanwhile Cena just flashes a smile and proudly pats his World Heavyweight title.

Layla
Now I hate to interrupt this adorable display, like could there be a cuter couple? But, Nikki and I have some catching up to do, could you give us a minute?

Not sure what he should do, Cena turns to Nikki and she puts her hand on his shoulder, which lets Cena know it's time to make his exit. He looks from Nikki to Layla, and back, he curls his lips before turning around and making his leave. Nikki waits until Cena is completely out of the picture and then turns to Layla.

Nikki Bella
What do you want Layla?...

Layla
Oh nothing silly, I just wanted to catch up with you. It's been what, six... seven months? And so much has changed, for starters...I love what you've done with your hair, like...love it. But girl, the thing that's most impressive is landing a guy like John Cena. Guess we know what you were doing during your time away, huh?


Layla let's out playful, yet irritating laugh and it's not receptive on Nikki's end. She just stares at Layla thinking to herself while she waits for Layla to finish. They've never really been friends, they had the most personal rivalry in the division last year, does Layla really think that Nikki's forgotten all of that? That she hasn't seen how Layla's behaved the last several weeks?

Nikki Bella
I didn't really do anything to it, but thanks... Anyway, you're right things have changed. Just think, this time last year, I only had Brie, and you only had Paige. And now here we are, I still have Brie by my side, and now I've got John Cena too. And you.. well you don't have Paige any more I guess, but at least you've got Fandango right?... Oh, oops, sorry, you don't have him any more either do you?

Nikki feigns a sympathetic look, that doesn't fool Layla one bit. She simply shakes her head. smiling and holding back a need to laugh.

Layla
Aw darling, don't worry about me. I'm the most decorated diva to step foot in this company, and I didn't need anybody to become that. But hey, we can't all be independent strong figures in this company, right? Some of us were meant to win championships, and make history...and others, well..they were meant to live vicariously through others and their success. I mean, how else are such pretty girls like you ever supposed to get anywhere near a championship?

Nikki breaks into a smile, almost as if she'd found Layla's attempt to insult her humorous.

Nikki Bella
Decorated? I could see that, but Layla, don't kid yourself... Independent? Strong? Please... Don't you remember how you spent the majority of last year clinging to anyone who'd have you, desperate to prove to yourself that you can be liked... And somehow, you managed to convince almost every single diva who walked into this company that you had truly 'changed'. Even Brie fell for your little act, but I was never taken in.

Nikki looks Layla up and down, no longer smiling, but with a look full of disgust, she continues.

Nikki Bella
I've always seen you for exactly what you are, a selfish, manipulative, egotistical witch...

Suddenly Layla breaks out into a heavy, yet abruptly cut short laugh.

Layla
Witch? Honey, don't sugarcoat it I'm a bitch...and I take great pride in that. I do, say, and be..ANYTHING I want to. You don't become Divas Champion by getting cushy with The World Heavyweight Champion....you become that by working hard, and being better than everybody else. I've been in The Elimination Chamber, stepped foot inside Hell in a Cell, what have you done? Won some tournament nobody even remembers? Exactly. All anybody even knows you as right now, is John Cena's current squeeze, but what's going to become of poor Nikki Bella when he realizes how much of a loser you really are, and dumps you? What then Nikki, huh?

Nikki seems to be getting fed up with Layla and the tone of her voice changes to show it.

Nikki Bella
You're right, I shouldn't have sugar coated it, you are a bitch. You're a horrible, cruel little bitch, but it doesn't matter what you do, how many insults you hurl, you'll never be able to call yourself the Queen bitch, because honey, that title belongs to me. I earned it by beating you in that 'tournament nobody even remembers'... except for you of course, you'll never be able to forget the day that I was crowned the Queen of the ring, and you were left kneeling at my feet.

Nikki steps forward, almost as if she''s trying to intimidate Layla.

Nikki Bella
So you keep stalking the corridors with your envious eyes, because unlike you and Fandango, John and I will always be here. Like Stephanie said, we're the King and Queen of Breakdown, and we intend to rule for a long, long time.

Noticeably so, Layla's taken a back by Nikki's drastic change in attitude, and she's the one that brought it out of her. But not one to let anyone know she's ever feeling any less than confident or lacking arrogance, Layla just flashes an amused smirk.

Layla
Envy? You? Please, why would someone like me ever envy someone like you? You're perched up there on your imaginary throne, clinging to the only thing you've ever done in this company, and honey...it's not cute. John's The King of The Ring, the one that went on to become World Heavyweight Champion. What did you do? Oh, that's right...FAIL! Because that's all you are, one big breasted, thick headed, FAILURE!

Layla's not being sweet about it in the least, she's doing what she does best, and that's tearing others down to make her feel better about herself. It's obvious she's more successful in XWL, but you have to believe that Nikki is right. She envies her because she's in a successful relationship, while nobody actually knows what the hell is happening with Layla and Fandango anymore.

Layla
That's why tonight in the middle of that ring, when you try to beat me...you'll do what you do best, fail. While I, do what I do best, succeed.

Nikki scowls and rolls her eyes to the left.

Nikki Bella
Do you even know who you're talking to? I mean, It kinda seems like you've mistaken me for someone else. You of all people should know, I'm not one to cry over a broken nail. You can't intimidate me with your little insults, they don't phase me. I know that I haven't achieved much in this company yet, but if you ask me, Queen of the Ring is a pretty good place to start. And Layla, I can only go up from there, while you, all you can do now is go down. It's up to you whether you want to go down as a true legend in this business... or an old, lonely, bitter hag... But it seems like you've already made that decision.

Layla is clearly annoyed by Nikki's statement, although she tries her best to hide it.

Layla
Oh sweet, innocent and naive, Nicole...there'a a reason why we haven't seen The Queen of the Ring crown put back up for grabs, and that's because after you won it...it lost all it's credibility. So boast about being a "Queen" all you like, because tonight...I'm going to do what I should have done last year, and that's kick some sense into that dense skull of yours once and for all. Because when all is said and done, you'll be the one bowing before me, the TRUE Queen of that ring!

Not one to let her opponent have the last word, Nikki moves to reply.

Nikki Bella
...

But before she can say anything...


BAM! Layla thrusts her foot forward striking Nikki right into the shin, making her REALLY bow down to her as she clutches her leg in an instance of pain. Layla starts to chuckle, not like earlier, this is filled with way more arrogance it's the type of laugh you'd hear from someone that really needs to be knocked down a peg or two but rarely ever are.

Layla
That's what I thought, bow to your queen Nikki, BOW!

Layla's laughter doesn't last long as Nikki pounces back up to her feet in an instant, swinging her right hand to the left, connecting her palm with the side of Layla's face with a huge slap. Layla's in shock as she falls back, her cheek now bright red from the impact, she takes a deep breath and bends forward, massaging the side of her face, now in the same situation as Nikki was just a few seconds ago, she appears to almost be bowing to her, not that she notices it.

Nikki Bella
Much better.

Layla quickly realises what Nikki just made her do, and stands back up straight. If her cheeks weren't already red, they sure would be now. Satisfied with herself, Nikki grins before turning to leave, lifting her left hand up facing toward Layla and slowly moving it, waving goodbye like a true Queen. This Queen of The Ring Rematch happens later on tonight, as we can clearly see, the animosity between one another has only intensified since their last encounter.

**Breakdown heads backstage with an interview with "Adam Cole".**

Interviewer
Ladies and Gentlemen my guest at this time is the returning, Adam Cole. Adam thanks for taking time out of preperation for your match tonight.



Adam Cole
No problem man, happy to talk to you and give the fans something to watch on another exciting episode of Breakdown.

Interviewer
Ok. Adam you have been nursing an injury over the last couple of weeks after that devastating match you had against The Wyatts at Digitial Decision. How are you feeling now and how was going against one of the most dominating stables in XWL history all by yourself.



Adam Cole
Before I answer the questions, I just want to apologise to the XWL fans about my absence over the last couple of weeks on Breakdown and at the live events. Anyway to your questions, I am feeling much better, I wouldn't say I am 100% but I am getting there and I am not going to let the fans down anymore by not showing up but I am ready to compete. As for your second question, it was ermm, well lets say it was a scary situation. I mean I knew there was a chance I would have to face all 3 of the Wyatts but I had a gut feeling I was going to be going one on one with Harper. When the results came up my heart did sink a little and I knew I was in for a tough match.

Interviewer
How did you feel when the fans who cheer you week in, week out were responsible for you to be put in that situation?



Adam Cole
I knew this question was going to come up, I mean how could I not expect it. I mean when your a guy who the fans like, the fans cheer your every move, they cheer you when you win and they want to have your autographs you wouldn't expect to be thrown to the lions like that but lets make it clear, I do not blame the fans for their decision at the PPV. I am not the most over popular guy on the roster, I am not your CM Punks, I am not your Daniel Bryans, your Stone Colds. Yeah I might get cheered and I might get some love from the fans but I am not your top guy yet. But that said even if I was this situation could of happened because its entertaining, its a challenge, its something different and it makes things a lot more interesting and this what this business is, ENTERTAINMENT!

Interviewer
To the match you overcome all the odds not only to beat the Wyatt Family but you looked to of rid XWL of one third of the Wyatt's with Luke Harper taking a nasty fall from the hands of you. What are your feelings about the win and the way it ended?



Adam Cole
The odds were well and truly stacked, the chances of winning let alone surviving were slim to none and I was looking to be leaving that arena in the back of an ambulance if I was lucky. But that all said, you got to keep the hope and belief alive because if you think your going to lose then its over, you have already lost before the bell has even rung. So I kept the hope and belief of winning,surviving deep down in my soul and thats what got me through this match. I gave 110% in that match and I pulled through. Yes I got hurt, I paid the consequences of putting it all on the line and that why I haven't been around for a couple of weeks. As for Luke Harper, I am sorry to say he deserved it, he deserved what he received from me that has put he away for some time. Harper started this, Harper came after me, The Wyatts came after me and I did what I had to do and that was the end of it.

Interviewer
So what is next for Adam Cole in XWL?



Adam Cole
Well, now that I have got the Wyatts off my back, its time to get back on track on my pursuit for some glory, honor and some gold here in XWL. That has always been my goal to climb the ladder and become the top dog here and that hasn't changed. Tonight I face won of the best in XWL in CM Punk, the Best in the World, former World Champion and tonight I face him. Once again odds are stacked but I still have that hope and belief to win, so Mr Money in the Bank, CM Punk, I am ready for you!!

Interviewer
Thank you Adam Cole for your time once again. back to ringside.

The camera for Breakdown comes back to reveal Madison Rayne, holding something up to her ear. The she devil herself is talking to her cell phone, to a person unknown.

{{Madison Rayne}}
Did you hear what that troll Eagles said about me last week? I mean, where does she get the right to talk about me like that?

...

The other person can not be deciphered, but it is obviously another girl.

{{Madison Rayne}}
I know right! How dare she! Plus, there's that whole thing you went through earlier tonight...

Oh no.... There's only one person she could be talking to so, bitchy like.

...

{{Madison Rayne}}
It's fine, really. Nikki and Brie are both gross anyways. I mean, the fact that they were even let back into the company is a terrible decision.

...

{{Madison Rayne}}
I laughed when that wild animal slammed her too!

Madison giggles with her bestie, before turning the conversation back to her.

{{Madison Rayne}}
But yeah, back to what I was saying, Eagles is such a man anyways. I mean, who aligns themselves with something called the "Bullet Club" anyways?

...

{{Madison Rayne}}
Ha! You're probably right. There's no telling how many times those guys have- ugh.

Josh Matthews entered the frame as Layla speaks up. Rayne just continues to stare at Josh with her nose turned up.

...

{{Madison Rayne}}
Sorry Lay, it seems I have a visitor. I'll have to call you back. Kiss!

Madison air-kisses her phone, then clicks it to end the call, she turns back to Josh, turning her nose back up.

{{Madison Rayne}}
What do you want?

{{Josh Matthews}}
Look, I know we're in kind of a, rough place but I was told to come and ask you a few questions.

{{Madison Rayne}}
Like, how you wanted to take a break after just starting to talk to me?

Josh looks quite sheepish as Rayne digs into him. But, then again, wasn't this girl just saying the other week how she isn't into Josh? Women.

{{Madison Rayne}}
Or maybe you actually wanted to ask me about how me and my new boo are doing.

{{Josh Matthews}}
New boo? What!?

{{Madison Rayne}}
You heard me. Now, don't you have a job to be doing?

{{Josh Matthews}}
I just needed a bit to figure some stuff ou-

Madison pushes him out of the way, doing his job for him.

{{Madison Rayne}}
Look, everyone wants to know how I feel about being the number one contender... Well, it's about damn time. I, being the most pretty and talented diva in the locker room, have been waiting for this for way too long. My run in with that psycho hasn't thrown me off and the fact that I have three other trashy women to go through isn't an issue either. I know I can beat all of them and I plan to beat two of them later tonight. Hug me, hit me, I don't care girls, but I'm sending a message to that bitch Eagles. I'm more than just beautiful.

Rayne storms off as Josh steps back in to either talk to her about feelings or do his job. Neither of which happen as she exits the frame and Josh is left, alone.

If you thought I was never coming back, I'm afraid I've got some bad news!!!

The crowd roars and cheers with excitement

Looks like you guys missed me! I'm gonna make this short and sweet. I'm back to be the best, and to be the best you got to take out the best.

Bad News Barrett

So tonight I plan on proving exactly why I am the best by going against none other than "The Best In The World" Chris Jericho, and when I'm done with him I'm coming for whats mine the Intercontinental Championship!!! See you guys later tonight!

-Cole-
We have a very exciting match here tonight Brock Lesnar vs the returning Daniel Bryan!



-Lawler-
Two very high performing superstars are set to fight and thats Next!

The sound of Daniel Bryan theme song brings the crowd off their feet chanting Yes over and over.



Daniel Bryan makes his way down the ramp and ino the ring, not getting ready for his match but grabbing a mic. He then begins to talk.

-Bryan-
We talked last week about me making it up to you all, by me being the best I can be and having gold around my waist, last week i failed against Dean Ambrose. Tonight Im here to make it up to you and my journey to the gold begins TONIGHT! Yes!

Daniel Starts off the first Yes and the fans finish it off over and over until they are interrupted by the music o no other than Brock Lesnar.



Daniel begins to adjust his padding knowing he is in for a fight tonight. Brock makes it in the ring and the two men are stood in the ring across from each other. The ref finally dcides the two are ready and signals for the bell.

Winner Via 4th Regal Plex.....

Breakdown returns from commercial break to reveal Stephanie McMahon in her office. To her side, is John Laurinitus. Big Johnny is nodding at her as she holds up a hand to her head, obviously stressed.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
I've had phone call after phone call about them John. You can not let this go unpunished.

John smiles, knowing that he has this situation in the bag.

{{John Laurinitus}}
I assure you Stephanie, I have this situation under control. The Bullet Club will be completely forgotten this time next month.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
For some reason, I don't believe you.

{{John Laurinitus}}
And rightfully so. But this time, I have things right where I wa...

John trails off as he notices something behind Stephanie. The billionaire princess turns around, coming face to face with the very man she unleashed her new problem, the Bullet Club, on: Eric Young. He isn't smiling that usual, goofy smile. He isn't in a good mood and it's obvious. Stephanie snaps into her boss mode, staring Eric in the eyes.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
What do you want?

{{Eric Young}}
It seems we have a mutual problem, boss.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
The only thing we have, is a talentless loser, in my office. So, either make your point, or get out.

{{Eric Young}}
Don't be so quick to throw me out, I mean, I should be the one who is getting upset.

Young walks around Stephanie, smirking now, knowing he has all the cards.

{{Eric Young}}
So, let me get this straight...

He looks at Big Johnny, unimpressed.

{{Eric Young}}
You're sending this guy, to take care of the Bullet Club. Don't get me wrong, if they were nice, they would listen to him. The problem is, they don't care. They aren't going to listen to some hack in a suit. The only thing they care about, is punching people, right in the face. Lucky for you, that's one of my best qualities.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
Being punched in the face or punching someone in the face?

{{Eric Young}}
Both, actually.

Stephanie shakes her head, already annoyed at Eric.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
So, what do you want? A three on one against them!?

{{Eric Young}}
Not exactly. What I want, is to beat AJ Styles into the floor. For years, I thought me and him were friends but now, to have him be the one that you sent after me...

Young is obviously upset but, cools himself down as he goes to talk again.

{{Eric Young}}
I'm sorry I'm not my usual, charming self. I've been a bit, bruised up lately.

Eric rolls up his t-shirt sleeve, revealing one of the several bruises the men of the Bullet Club left. He rolls it down and then goes to talk.

{{Eric Young}}
Our little, issue. We can talk about it later if you want. Just, do me a favor and make me against AJ official.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
That's all you want? You storm into my office, criticize my employees, show off your battle scars, just to fight someone who has beat you up, numerous times now.

Eric steps up to her, face to face again.

{{Eric Young}}
Let me ask you something Stephanie... Have you ever been pushed down? Have you ever, in your entire life of being handed everything, ever been kicked around? Have you ever been bullied? Have you ever been the, dumb one? The, silly one? The one no one takes seriously?

Stephanie is shocked, unable to respond.

{{Eric Young}}
Well for years now, I've been on the receiving end of boots, fists, and everything else. I've been the dumb guy. I've been the silly guy. I've NEVER been taken seriously. The only time the boys in the back looked at me as a threat is when I gave Roman Reigns a run for his money. Now, I'm asking you to give me revenge, to let me stop, what you started, and you're trying to bash me? You're trying to kick me, while I'm down? Well funny thing about me, I kind of like it now. I like being the underdog. I like being silly. I like, being me. And being me, means that I like to beat people up. So book my damn match at International Incident, so I can kick AJ's teeth, down his throat.

Young steps past Stephanie, who still stands, in shock and awe. Young exits the room, in quite the mood we see. This new, more serious side of Young that people are not use to is still growing on the fans as their cheers can be heard even inside of the office. Big Johnny steps up to Stephanie, smiling as though he just heard the best joke ever.

{{John Laurinitus}}
You're not actually doing that, right?

Stephanie, without looking up, responds.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
Actually, I am.

And with those words, a sinister grin grows across the face of Stephanie, the crowd unsure of what to think as we move to the next segment.

Normal Match


-6 Minutes into the match-

Bray Wyatt is on the ropes, metaphorically and literally. For the past few minutes, Sami has been running the train, meaning he has been on the offense side of the match. Wyatt has been trying to play defense, but it is no use. Sami, having Bray leaned up against the ropes, roars a sign a victory knowing the end is near. He throws Bray to the ropes, planning on hitting him with his finisher on the rebound. But as Bray takes off, the sound of glass breaking sounds over the speakers. Sadly, it isn't the glass of Stone Cold. No, it's the glass of the golden one. The lights turn to a gold tint, causing Sami to look up. His mouth forms the words, "The fuck?" as the lights turn back to normal. He looks back to Bray, who is rushing him. Wyatt jumps up, hitting his signature forearm smash. He smiles, then takes off to the ropes, coming back and hitting him with the running senton. Wyatt covers, getting the three count.

Winner:

Bray rolls out of the ring, leaving Sami who sits up, obviously pissed off. He rolls over to the announcer's side of the ring, calling for a mic. One is handed to him as he looks around the arena, steaming with rage.

{{Sami Callihan}}
Goldust, you weird fuck, I'm sick and tired of you messing with me! So, listen up, since you're this whole, performing artist or whatever, why don't you show up in Tokyo!? You and me you weirdo, what do you say!?

{{Goldust}}
I accept.

Sami spins around, shocked and pissed at the same time, coming face to face with Goldust. Dustin drops the mic, sending a shot at Sami's face, kicking off this fight. Sami having been through a match, is obviously at the disadvantage as Goldust throws him against the announcer's table. He then slides Sami in the ring, following behind, waiting for him to stand up. When he does, Goldust sends a low blow to the crotch of Sami Callihan. As Sami doubles over, Goldust turns him over and picks him up, hitting him with the reverse suplex. He stays on the ground next to the unconscious Sami, showing no emotion. The lights turn to a gold tint and the theme of Goldust plays, cuing his exit. Goldust however, slithers on top of Sami, mounting him. Something that is obviously not for children's eyes, Goldust slithers from the mounting position, dragging his body across the face of Sami, the out of the ring, making his exit as the announcer table sits, quietly, unsure of what to say in response to that.
