XWL Anarchy: 5/23/2016 - 5/30/2016

The crowd is in hype, the last week of action having been no joke with quite the ending to the show. Without much of a warning, the theme of the Authority interupts the airwaves.



Soon, the crowd turns to distaste as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon appear on the stage, smiles on their face as they approach the ring. They smile and wave as they make the long treck down the ramp, the commentary team coming to life to discuss just why they are so happy.

[Michael Cole]
Hello and welcome to XWL Anarchy and to kick off the show we are being greeted by none other than the Authority!

[Jerry Lawler]
The Authority look absolutely smug.

[Michael Cole]
And rightfully so King! Last week they evened the playing field against Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.

[JBL]
You're damn right they did and it was about time.

[Michael Cole]
Let's take you back to that moment, right now!

And then it takes to a recap of last week's ending. We see Dean and Roman storm the ring, clearing it of Steph and Triple H before even getting into it. Some words they speak are highlighted and then, the lights go out. They become surrounded and then the rest plays out. However, to see the whole thing we all know you have to rewatch last weeks show.

We return to the Live feed to reveal Stephanie McMahon and Triple H in the ring, mics in their hands and already prepped to begin talking. The crowd begins to chant for Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose but that does nothing as no theme hits. Their heroes not coming tonight. Instead, Triple H begins to speak.



[Triple H]
During my career I made a lot of promises. I promised to win the Intercontinental Championship. I promised to beat Mick Foley in both of his Boiler Room Brawl Matches. I promised to win the World Heavyweight Championship. I never promised to look out for the fans and protect them.

The crowd boos him, as he is obviously taking a shot at the Shield.

[Triple H]
It's funny, see: I never break my promises. Last week I informed all of you that Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns were wrong. They thought they could boss around the Authority and become a single cohesive unit. But they obviously weren't. They also weren't prepared for what myself and Stephanie had in store for them at the end of the night. See, I knew they'd storm the arena and then enter the ring, wanting it to seem like the so called Hounds of Justice truly were back and in control. But they were wrong. Instead, I went out and found people who took control. They broke Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns last week and will do so each and everytime we ask them because they, know what's best for business.

A moment passes before Stephanie begins to speak.

[Stephanie McMahon]
Speaking of breaking Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns, there is another surprise in store for all of you. See, we both understand that those two aren't gone. They are still lurking, waiting to get their payback and instead of them attacking our new found acquisitions we decided to give you all what you really want to see.

The crowd chants for Dean and Roman, even for the Shield with no response given.

[Stephanie McMahon]
See last week, the Pack, the Authority's Pack made it's first appearance and tonight, it will make yet another one. The result, will be the same as well. Tonight, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose will get their chance at vengence as they take on two of the members of the Pack!

The crowd practically erupts in cheers for this colossal main event.

[Stephanie McMahon]
But, that isn't right now. No, right now, it's time for people to truly get a taste of who Roman and Dean are dealing with. So, please welcome, the newest and most important signing XWL has made: The Pack!

*Leo Kruger squats at the top of the ramp with the rest of the The Pack standing behind him.*



*Kruger looks over to Triple H and gives him a nod. Kruger stands up. The Pack makes their way down the ramp, and into the ring. A microphone is waiting in the middle of the ring. Leo Kruger walks over to the mic, and picks it up off the ground raises it to his lips.*

.:Leo Kruger:.
Hello.. My name is Leo Kruger... and this

*Kruger looks to his right with a smirk upon his face.*

.:Leo Kruger:.
This is Braun Strowman. He is our pack's epsilon. If no one is quite familiar on what that is allow me to explain. They are the watchful protectors for each, and every single member of their pack. They are willing do anything at any cost to make sure everyone in their pack is safe. Braun has had my back in many fights, and he does exactly that. He's always one step ahead.

*Strowman nods with a smirk on his face. Kruger walks and stops in front of Luke Harper. He raises his head and looks at Luke.*

.:Leo Kruger:.
Luke Harper..

*Kruger grins as he looks into the eyes of Luke Harper*

.:Leo Kruger:.
The Eta of The Pack.

*He turns around again to face the camera*

.:Leo Kruger:.
He follows MY command. He's one of the deadliest warriors I have ever seen. The things that he is capable are sick, and twisted. Even if I began to explain what he has done to some of my prey. It would give you second thoughts on crossing our path. He is an absolute monster

*Kruger nods, and says with a smile upon his face*

.:Leo Kruger:.
And yes you should be terrified..

*The camera zooms in on the face of Luke Harper*



.:Leo Kruger:.
Last, but not least

*The camera zooms out, and moves out to Kruger who stands in front of Batista.*

.:Leo Kruger:.
The Lambda... Batista. I trained him to become a great hunter. He uses his stealth, and agility to take down even some of the toughest prey. Those who hold the position Lambda in a pack are loyal, and quick to follow orders. So, When the hunt is on without question he will follow, and help me track down my prey. Then when we finally corner it we extinguish their life immediately.

*he snarkily laughs to himself*

.:Leo Kruger:.
But your question is not, Who are we? It's why...why are we HERE?

*Kruger pauses for a brief moment as he looks around the arena with a smile upon his face*

.:Leo Kruger:.
To Hunt.

*Kruger chuckles to himself*

.:Leo Kruger:.
You see it's kind of funny I used to be normal like all of you. When I was a little kid I had no friends. I had no friends up until middle school. Then I met Marco.. He and I became very close friends. Then one day, he introduced me to a new way of life, hunting. It was a way to help the tribe, and as a kid that's all I ever wanted to do..

*Kruger giggles with delight*

.:Leo Kruger:.
I fell in love with sport. The idea of tracking an animal down and out smarting it to get the killing blow was very exciting.. It gave me such an adrenaline rush. Marco and I began hunting everyday to bring home food for the tribe, but with time hunting lost it's luster. Animals become predictable. I needed a new challenge in life, and that's when I thought to myself mankind is very unpredictable. In an instant, it all became clear to me....my prey wasn't animals...

*He pauses for a brief moment*

.:Leo Kruger:.
So the next time Marco, and I went hunting the hunter became the hunted.

*Kruger laughs hysterically*

.:Leo Kruger:.
After what transpired in forest, people feared me...as they should, they locked me in a cage, they threw away the key, they held me captive like some animal.

*Kruger grits his teeth together in anger*

.:Leo Kruger:.
They tried to tell me who I really was, what I loved... but then I became the hunted... the victim... I was beaten mercilessly for my crime until I was released from jail.. Then the vision became clear to me..

*He smirks evilly looking around the arena*



.:Leo Kruger:.
I am the hunter, and everyone is my prey, but then I realized there is more people like me out in the world. People like Luke Harper. People like Braun Strowman, and lets not forget the Animal.... Batista... Together, we are an unstoppable force. We attacked Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns like a pack of wolves. We will hunt to become the top of the food chain. We are a force to be reckoned. We will not be denied. Dean Ambrose.. Roman Reigns the hunt begins tonight, and this goes to everyone in the back.. No is safe with The Pack around. Watch your backs, or else you'll end up like poor Marco..

*Kruger smiles sinisterly as he drops the mic.*

[Michael Cole]
What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[Jerry Lawler]
Oh my god...what a scary addition this is to The Authority. Dean might have survived The Authority's previous attempt at bringing about his demise...but I don't know how he'll escape what their pack has in store for him.

[JBL]
Jerry I think we may find out sooner than expected...I just got word Tonight's main event is gonna be Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns vs The Pack!

*Camera fades to black while The Pack are walking up the ramp to a commercial break.*

As we return from commercial break, a man in a yellow luchador mask and yellow and black tights is standing in the ring with a mic.

(JBL)
this should be good

(WRESTLER)
My name is Sunshine, and im here to brighten up XWL!

(JBL)
looks like i was right

(COLE)
give him a break John

(JBL)
Shut up Maggle

(SUNSHINE)
The Authority would be foolish not to add me to their team. So im gonna prove it by kicking some ass!

(COLE)
that's a bold statement

(JBL)
what did i just say?

(SUNSHINE)
So bring out my victim!

The crowd is dead silent when suddenly




(COLE)
Oh my god! its Seth Rollins!

(JBL)
Finally! Seth Rollins has returned to XWL! Im so happy!

(COLE)
He's only been gone a few weeks John

(JBL)
Don't make me say it again, Maggle!



Sunshine gets back into the ring. He stares at Rollins who just smiles back. Sunshine starts yelling at him but Rollins shuts him up with a hard forearm to the head, knocking him down



(JBL)
Now that's what I call a return!

Rollins kicks Sunshine out of the ring and picks up the mic



The crowd cheers as Rollins basks in it

(ROLLINS)
That's right, I'm back!

The crowd still cheers as some boos start to come in

(ROLLINS)
I missed you too

The boos start to drown the cheers

(COLE)
A pretty mixed reaction for Rollins now

(JBL)
What are you talking about? Just listen, they love him!



(ROLLINS)
Now I know you all have been worried about my well-being and wondering where i've been the last 3 weeks

(JBL)
I know I have

(ROLLINS)
Well, I was on vacation in the Caribbean. I mean, whats the point of making money, if I can't enjoy it! And being Seth Rollins, you can damn well guarantee I wasn't 'alone'

Seth grins as the crowd boos

(JBL)
He's a regular Gods gift to women Maggle!

(COLE)
Oh please

(ROLLINS)
I had some time to think, and you know what happened? I had a epiphany, a light bulb went off. And do you know what that was?

I'm SETH fucking ROLLINS! And I've been wasting my talents! I'm Seth Rollins, a former I.C champion! Im Seth Rollins, not some corporate puppet, not anymore!

(COLE)
I wonder what the Authority thinks about this

(ROLLINS)
I'm going to use my talents to benefit me and only me. The rest of you can all go back to your sad lives. Im now open for business. Bad guy,good guy, or the 'guy'? It doesn't matter who you are. All that matters is the highest bid, and my rising bank account!

The crowd boos loudly

(JBL)
I love this! Smart business plan

(COLE)
Of course you would

(ROLLINS)
And my first order of business, is AJ Styles. I'll see you later tonight.



(ROLLINS)
It's nothing personal, It's just business

The crowd continues to boo as we go to commercial

The cameras pan backstage to Renee Young with a mic in her hand.

[Renee Young]

Good evening ladies and gentleman, please help in welcoming me the self-Proclaimed “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” Austin Aries.
We see Aries walk in smiling.

[Austin Aries]

Hello, Renee how are you on this lovely evening?
[Renee Young]

Great, Thank you! Now let’s get on to business, tonight you fell short of a victory to Bray Wyatt, your thoughts on that?

[Austin Aries]

Yeah, you know he’s tough he’s good I give him that he beat me and I respect him for that he was the better man.

[Renee Young]

Any plans for the future?

[Austin Aries]

Yeah, you know I’m going to go for that Intercontinental I so rightfully deserve and I’m going to win it.
Weather it’s Raven or that Pasty Ginger Sheamus that title is…..
We suddenly see Aries disappear from the screen by some big behemoth.

*Baron Corbin punches the back of Austin’s head and sends him right flying down onto the floor.  Corbin picks up Austin and throws his limp body right into the interview set and sends the set crashing down*




Baron Corbin: “The Greatest Man That Ever Lived” huh?

*Baron Corbin chuckles and walks away*

We return from a break, finding none other than Renee Young, she smiling, mic in hand.



[Renee Young]
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's yet another week and I am once again on the hunt for someone to interview. Anyone, that can make my life easier as I didn't get to interview Nakamura and do his infamous YEAOH! with him, but instead, I have to put up with Matt Sydal. My life is not getting easier but- HEY!

It would appear as though she has found someone as she waves someone over. A moment passes and then a bushy bearded fellow enters the screen, smiling.

[Renee Young]
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, Eric Young!

Eric smiles, looking at Renee and speaking.

[Eric Young]
Oh hey Renee. Impromptu interview? I sure don't mind. Thanks for having me Renee.

[Renee Young]
The pleasure is all mine! So last week, we saw the rematch between yourself and Shinsuke Nakamura. However, you didn't even show up at first. Can you explain that?

[Eric Young]
Yeah, I can actually. You see originally I didn't plan on coming out. The doctors wouldn't let me. They were all, you know, worried about my health but they don't realize ol' EY here can take a hit or two. See, I was determined to go an put on another hell of a match without Matt Sydal there to ruin it but of course, that couldn't happen. So I'm sorry that all happened.

[Renee Young]
It's quite alright Eric, there's nothing you could have done. But speaking of Matt Sydal, last week we saw you come out and take it to Matt Sydal, which led to Nakamura striking you, which caused all of your matches this week. Care to comment on that?

[Eric Young]
I can, yeah. Let's start with Nakamura. See, I realize things got a little heated last week but I never intended it to. I watched the replay once I calmed down and saw that Nakamura truly didn't mean to hit me and honestly, I know he wouldn't. We have respect for one another, him and I. He's an amazing wrestler, who tried to do the same thing I did, and that's beat Matt Sydal into a pulp. It's not going to affect our match tonight. We're going to go out there as a team, and hopefully have a little bit of natural chemistry and win us a match. Now, as for Sydal.

Young pauses, taking a minute.

[Eric Young]
I wanted to fight him, yes. I didn't want to come out and take it to him like I did. He just, went too far. I can't deal with someone talking down to me anymore. But that's not what did it. No, when he mentioned you, is when I decided to take action.

[Renee Young]
Me? Why me? Is it because you think we're related still? Eric we're not-

[Eric Young]
Renee, I know we're not related. Honestly, I just used that as a lame excuse to talk to you.

Renee is almost taken back by this, not sure what to say. Despite that, Eric continues.

[Eric Young]
Matt Sydal has no place to talk about a woman like you like he does. You're smart, funny, pretty and one of the best people I know and he, he's....

Young takes a moment to catch himself before saying something far too rude.

[Eric Young]
Matt Sydal shouldn't talk about you Renee. No one should unless it's compliments and praise. You're a great girl and he isn't worthy.

Renee can't quite come back from being so, shocked.

[Renee Young]
Eric I, I don't know what to say....

[Eric Young]
I mean, you don't have to say anything I guess.... Anyways tonight I have my match and I, I have to go get ready for it.

Eric Young turns away, walking away as Renee takes a moment to think over what he just said. Before he gets too far, she calls out.

[Renee Young]
Eric.

Young stops, turning back to her, smiling that goofy smile.

[Renee Young]
Thank you. That was really sweet.

[Eric Young]
Was it sweet enough to, I dunno, maybe go out later?

And the true motive has been found. Renee almost blushes. She takes a moment, thinking over the offer, but eventually nods.

[Renee Young]
I'd like that.

[Eric Young]
I'll see you after my match then.

With that, Eric takes to walking down the hall. He cuts down a corridor and is hidden from the camera but can definitely be heard.

"WOO HOOOO!"

Renee giggles, turning to the camera and sighing. She pulls the mic back up, unable to contain her grin.

[Renee Young]
Well, thank you for the time. I'll see you all later tonight.

The camera fades to black.

We come back from commercial as we find none other than the World Heavyweight Champion himself, Dean Ambrose. The crowd would cheer loudly for the sight of their champion after what happened last week. Luke Harper, Batista, Braun Strowman, and Leo Kruger attacked him and beat him down, but they not only just attacked him, they also attacked the man standing beside him, Roman Reigns. The crowd would give him a mixed reaction as he firstly looks at the World Heavyweight Championship Dean Ambrose is holding and then he looks down into the camera with a rather serious look on his face.

[Roman Reigns]
"I am not the bad guy. Just like Dean here is not the good guy. We are THE guys and XWL, it is our yard!"

The crowd would let out a loud cheer as Roman Reigns looks down as he raises his hand into the air and balls it into a fist and looks at it and then at the camera and just smirks.

[Roman Reigns]
"If last week taught me anything, it is that there are some people out there who just want a death wish, like really badly. We where minding our own business, calling the two IDIOTS in power out on their BULL when four men - four animals - four pieces of crap hit the ring and beat us down, all for their five seconds of fame. Well I hoped they enjoyed every second of what they did to us, because we are going to return what they did to them tenfold and unlike what they did to us, we will ensure we do the job correctly. As good as a beating as they gave us last week, we are still standing. We are still here and we are still ready to fight and fight we shall as we are going to step into the ring with two of those freaks tonight, but two is not going to satisfy us. When they are done with, the other two, they will feel our justice."

He looks serious as he delivers his words with intensity like never before seen from him. What happened to him was one thing, but his brother being taken down as well, that just made things a whole lot more worse for him, it annoyed him even more.

[Roman Reigns]
"I look at these four men, these four who like to call themselves the pack. I look at them and all I see is weakness. Four weak men who hand banded together in a sad attempt to make an impact. Leo Kruger is more comfortable with hitting woman than he is at hitting men. I am going to hit that son of a bitch so hard that he is going to think that he is a lemon again. Then we have Luke Harper, another lanky piece of crap who on his own is not worth two damns about. Instead of running around with these wolfs, sorry, I mean puppies, he should be on his hands and knees licking the boots of Bray Wyatt, that is all he is good for. Then we have the biggest man I have ever seen Braun Strowman, but you know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall and one punch from me, be him giant or mere man, he will drop. He is like Sam from game of thrones on some serious steroids, I am sending his ugly mug back to the wall. Then last and certainly by all means least with have Batista. A man who crawled away on all fours to the land of movies and then crawled all the way back to make a couple of bucks on the side. Everyone talks about how great he is, but one on one with me, hell I expose him for what he is. A junked up loser who only got where he is by doing the dirty work for someone else. Hell, that explains all these guys, just doing the dirty work for someone else, for the bosses. They will learn that they have made a mistake, they have bitten of more than they can chew. The Shield is back, The Shield is stronger than ever before and The Shield will bring JUSTICE to the pack!"

Dean steps in front of Roman, reeling to speak his minds. The champion lets the title dangle in his hand, looking past the camera, speaking to the world.

[Dean Ambrose]
First it was that weasel Seth Rollins. Then it was that piece of garbage Finn Balor. Now, it's this new found coalition of hunters calling themselves the Pack huh? Yeah nah, that's fine and dandy and all that jazz, but let me ask who the hell cares? I dunno if you boys watched but both of the other men I named off got beat by me. Both of them, got praised and loved by the Authority and still couldn't catch a break. They couldn't do anything to me, so you think I'm really scared of four guys who haven't taken a bath in a year?

Roman can be seen almost smirking behind him, though it's a forced one through the fact of how pissed they both are.

[Dean Ambrose]
The Pack. The Authority's Pack. The Authority's new goons. I like the name the Pack. It's interesting. You know, like wolves. Got it. But what do they have on the hounds? See, we don't need four men. We only need two. We only need two men to beat down the Authority time and time again, so tonight will be no different. I don't think I've ever had the two person power trip hand me people I've been dying to get my hands on to me on a silver platter before but boy this feels right. Tonight you don't get to sneak up on us. Tonight you get to stand to us like men, and so far I haven't seen that you can do that.

Dean runs a hand over his head, ruffling his hair.

[Dean Ambrose]
Leo Kruger, bring your wolves. Bring your army. Bring your Eta, your epsilon and your lambda. Bring all the funny names you want, we don't care. Because tonight, the hounds of Justice are slaying the Pack, before they even begin the hunt. Believe, that.

Ambrose shoves the mic, dropping it to the ground as the duo's feet can be seen walking off into the distance.

We come back from commercial as Michael Cole is sitting in a chair in the back room.




(COLE)
Hello. Im Michael Cole, and welcome to a XWL exclusive sit down interview. My guest today is non other then one of the newest member of XWL. Bray Wyatt.



(COLE)
Thank you for agreeing to do this.

Bray Just looks at Cole and nods

(COLE)
As for my first question, who is Bray Wyatt?

Bray looks at him and laughs a little



(WYATT)
Who am i? I'm an agent of the Darkness, a solider for the righteous cause. A prophet to those who seek the truth

Cole looks on a little uneasy



(COLE)
Your first match here was beating one of the longest reigning veterans here in XWL; Eric Young. Then you moved onto the Undertaker and beat him. Now you seem to be going after CM Punk. I think everyone is curious as to why you have your sights set on Punk now.



(WYATT)
Ah yes, CM Punk. He will know why he was chosen by us, when the time is right.

Cole looks at him a little confused

(COLE)
But last week you said you were going to explain -

Bray cuts him off



(WYATT)
I know what I said. Next question.

Bray sits back as Cole adjusts his collar, visibly shaken



(COLE)
Um. ok. (clears his throat) Lets talk about Raven. You have shown some interest in him joining you.



(WYATT)
Raven was chosen by the Darkness for he knows the truth. He is a kindred spirit; able to see the sickness of the Light. We offered him the chance to embrace his destiny, to join the Darkness.

(COLE)
He seems to be hesitant in joining your cause.

(WYATT)
Sometimes when presented with the truth. The true reality of your destiny, sometime it can be hard to fully embrace. But, we wait with open arms. Thou, the Darkness does not wait long.

Cole looks through his notes for a moment

(COLE)
May I ask about your sister, Abigail?

Bray looks at him and starts to laugh

(COLE)
I don't understand, whats so funny?

(WYATT)
Abigail was not my sister, no. She was the one that made me who I am today.

(COLE)
Could you elaborate?



(WYATT)
To do so, I would have to explain how I became what I am.

(COLE)
My producer tell me we have time

(WYATT)
very well. You see, Bray Wyatt was not the same man he is now. You see, my mother was whore, a true example of the Light. And my daddy, hmm, he was a drunk, a bastard. One day, when it came to his attention that i may have not been his son, he went on a path of destruction, so my mother left. Left me, a boy of 5, with a monster. Now my father believed in the Light, believed in those myths and fairy tales. But he was a hypocrite, even with the Light. So he decided he needed to move on. With out me. So he dropped me off at the local orphanage, never to be seen again.

(COLE)
That must have been tough

(WYATT)
At first. They beat me, trying to mold me into a servant of the Light. to embrace to filth and sickness, to condition me to do the same to others. But it would not work. When i became a teenager, i decided enough was enough, that i was meant for more. Not their lies and propaganda of a archaic machine. So I ran.

(COLE)
Where did you go? you were still a child.



(WYATT)
I wandered around. Saw the reality of the Light and how it controls man. Well camping in the forest I heard a lovely thing. A voice so sweet it hypnotized me. I could hear a woman humming through the trees. So I went and looked.

(COLE)
Who did you see?



(WYATT)
I saw HER. A thing of such beauty, I did not think it was possible. Abigail, carrying water back to her home, humming a strange hymn. She stopped and looked back at me. Looked through me. Saw me, for me. She told me she was waiting for me, it was her destiny to find me. She told me we were kindred spirits, that i was a flower waiting to bloom into something beautiful. So she took me in.

(COLE)
If I may ask, why do you refer to her as sister?

(WYATT)
You see, Abigail used to be a servant of the Light. Gave her whole life to serve with purpose. But over time she saw the truth for the Darkness opened her mind as she opened mine. So she left her life of Light, left to spread the truth. But humanity is a simple beast, it was not ready to hear the truth. So she went into hiding. Waiting for a sign. I was that sign.



(COLE)
So she raised you?

(WYATT)
In a way. She taught me the ways of the Darkness, the truth of the world and the war we are fighting. When I became older, I told her i was ready, that I was ready to teach as she had taught me. She said no, that I was to arrogant and not ready. But i pleaded so she accepted. So, long before I came here,I went out and started my own family to spread the truth.

(COLE)
Do you mean the Wyatt family?



(WYATT)
Yes. things were good at first as we spread the truth in order to take the machine, take down the light. But Sister Abigail was right. I wasn't ready to lead, to teach. And my brothers knew it too, so one by one they left, to fight their own wars and find their own truths.

(COLE)
did that upset you?

(WYATT)
Upset me? no. They were my brothers, and will always be my brothers. They still serve the Darkness, just in their own way.

(COLE)
Interestingly enough, two of your 'brothers' showed up last week with Leo Kruger, and attacked Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose.

(WYATT)
Funny how the Darkness works. it truly is a mystery. Here they are.

(COLE)
You have no issues with them being lead by someone else?



(WYATT)
Of course not. I said they were my brothers and that stands. If they deem this Kruger worthy enough to lead them, so be it. But they know, to stay out of my way.

(COLE)
What are your thoughts on Leo Kruger?

(WYATT)
Now he is something different. I do not know him. He is not a follower of the Light, nor the Darkness. He is something different. A different creature. But I am sure we will meet at some point.

(COLE)
Now, If i may. Sister Abigail, what happened to her?

Bray looks down for a moment

(WYATT)
After I failed my own family, I came back to Abigail. Sometime had passed since I left, and I could see she was more frail, more sickly. She told me her time to go was upon her. That if I was to take over and truly lead, I hd to fully embrace the Darkness. Open my heart and mind to it. I asked her how.

(COLE)
What did she tell you?

(WYATT)
That to fully embrace it, I had to fully bury my past. And she was right. So I went back to the place that tried break me for so many years.

(COLE)
And did you?


(WYATT)
I did


Bray stares at Cole and smiles. Cole looks horrified

(WYATT)
And she was right. I finally understood the truth of the Darkness, I was finally free.

(COLE)
When did, when did Abigail pass?

Bray laughs at that question

(WYATT)
When did she die you mean?

Cole nods

(WYATT)
The illness took over quickly. On her death bed she told me of how I had to spread the truth now. How I had to be the new prophet, to free the world. To take over where she failed. She also told me, that she could feel the Light trying to take her back. Trying to corrupt her in her final hours. She looked at me one last time, and asked me to finally deliver her to the Darkness.

Cole looks at him horrified as Bray leans in


(WYATT)
So I did

Bray gets up and heads to the door as Cole is left speechless

(COLE)
You don't mean...

(WYATT)
If you excuse me. I have a match to prepare for

Bray shuts the door behind him, as Cole sits in his chair alone, not knowing what to say

We go to commercial

A graphic pop ups the second we return from a commercial break, promoting an interview segment unlike one we've seen before from Renee. The title "unfiltered" pops up, and our curiosity is is peaked.





Once we cut to the live feed, showing Renee Young in focus, somewhere backstage at a nice table with glasses, and a couple choices in snacks, we see that unlike usual...she's a bit lacking in the enthusiasm department.




[Renee Young]
Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight...I bring you an interview unlike any I've ever done...because on this evening, there is no limits...there is no gritting my teeth in the name of professionalism, this is a grilling...this is where we get down to the unfiltered truth. So it's only fitting, and upsetting that the first edition of this special kind of interview, is done with a man of whom I've lost my patience with since our very first interview. Last week, saw my guest drag my name through the mud, and call my position as an interviewer, into question. To quote him, for accuracy...I don't know who she had to sleep with, or who she DIDN'T sleep with to get her job, but now we all have to pay for it. On that note, please do your best to stomach welcoming my guest at this time, Evan Bourne.


The camera pans out, to reveal a noticably upset "Evan Bourne" sitting with his arms crossed in a chair not far enough away from Renee Young. He rolls his eyes, then exhales a deep sigh, not wanting to be here as much as Renee, but the boss ordered this interview, during so he's supposed to apologize for his remarks against Renee, so he has no choice. Returning her "disrespect" Matt kicks his legs up, and props them on the table, spilling one of the glasses of water that just barely misses falling Renee's way. This leads Renee to stare up at the ceiling mumbling "Come on Renee, don't let this asshole get to you."  As Renee is wishing she could blink and this would be over, Matt, not Evan Bourne as she called him, obnoxiously clears his throat to speak.


[Matt Sydal]
And you wonder why I say that when SIX MONTHS LATER...you STILL can't get my name right.

Renee quips back without a second of hesitation, and with full sass


[Renee Young]
I can, I just don't see the point. Let's be real and ditch the filter, you came back and called yourself "reborn" that you were better than ever before, that you weren't the same man that once was known as Evan Bourne. YET, week in, and week out, you drone on about what "Evan Bourne" did, while doing effectively nothing under your new namesake.


Ouch, Matt's heard this the last several weeks from Eric, and Renee Young...but it doesn't get any easier hearing it over and over, each time stings as much as the first.


[Matt Sydal]
So you call winning The Intercontinental Championship at Cyberslam "nothing?" Wow, have some respect for the lineage that title holds, Renee. I know you're just using this as a stepping stone for some ESPN position the second it becomes available but at least act like you give a damn about this business.





[Renee Young]
I respect that title, and all of the championships in XWL a great deal, but when you effectively become champion, and then lose it a few short weeks later, that's when I call it, as in your victory, not the title...nothing.


[Matt Sydal]
Then be sure to tell your little boyfriend Eric that he's nothing over dinner later. Because he's been in XWL for how many years? And he's done what exactly? Fail, A LOT, lose...A LOT, make a complete joke of himself, A LOT...promise he'll finally accomplish something and then NOT....A LOT...So if my title win means nothing, then the fact that he's NEVER won a championship here, is just plain sad. Matter of fact, since we're "unfiltered" you said yes out of pity, didn't you? Aw, the mentally challenged eighth dwarf from Snow White asked me out, ain't that precious?


It's all Renee can do to not slap him in his smug face right then and there, but he's not worth the effort.


[Renee Young]
What's precious is the fact that you find the need to put him down for absolutely no reason. Does what he said THREE WEEKS AGO...still bother you THAT much? Did he anger you? Did the truth hurt? Good. If you ask me I say that makes Eric more a man than you are, or could ever be. Because he said what so many were dying for someone to say. To put you in your place, to dish it back at the man that ALWAYS has something to say, ultimately leaving him speechless.



[Matt Sydal]
Whatever...get with the questions already nobody cares about your pathetic love life.


[Renee Young]
Clearly you did enough to bring it up. So let's talk about your match tonight, or should I say...matches.

A sinister esque grin forms on her face, obviously very satisfied to see him have to pull double duty tonight.


[Renee Young]
You're scheduled to take on The Returning Undertaker, and then compete in a Triple Threat Match with Tyler Breeze & Will Ospreay. I'm sure this doesn't phase you since you're "the greatest superstar to ever step foot in XWL" but to those of us that doubt you...that see you as a shell of your former self with a stupid name to boot...please elaborate as to how tonight will go.



[Matt Sydal]
It'll go like every other night, you can call me a fool to think I've got a chance of defeating my opponents tonight, but in the end, it is not I who will be the fool, it will be everyone that doubted me, especially you.




[Renee Young]
Alright, that's it. I've fulfilled my obligation to interview you, that means...it's time for you to fulfill yours, apologize.


[Matt Sydal]
You call that an interview? Seriously? You asked like one question.


[Renee Young]
Still counts.


[Matt Sydal]
It does NOT. Ask me another question. I'm not done with you, it's over when I say it's over.


[Renee Young]
Actually it's over when I say it's over. That's how interviews work, so make with the apology.


[Matt Sydal]
No.


[Renee Young]
No? Listen I've stomached sitting here with you long enough, Stephanie ordered you to apologize for what you said about me, so don't you dare tell me no.


[Matt Sydal]
I said ask me ANOTHER question!



[Renee Young]
Fine, why are you such an insufferable prick?


Renee is so done with his attitude, this is like the sixth or seventh time she's had to interview him since he returned, and each time seems to push her a little closer to insanity. Matt doesn't take her "question" well, as could be expected, prompting him to shift his legs off the table from where they rested the whole interview, and leans in closer with an annoyed look on his face.


[Matt Sydal]
Because you're such an unbearable bitch.



[Renee Young]
Excuse me?


[Matt Sydal]
I'm sorry, was I not clear enough with my answer? Allow me to clarify it for you, sweetheart. You are a disgusting, vile cheap whore that had to sleep  with production, the board of directors, probably Triple H AND Stephanie, HELL, even freaking Vince McMahon himself just to get your job. You are the worst person that I have ever had the displeasure of not only meeting, but having to look at as I sit at this table drowning in your unbearable bitchiness.

Damn, tell her how you REALLY feel...with the most slap begging shit eating arrogant as ever smirk on his face...his face is begging for it, and without a SECOND after it appears...Renee screams in rage, jerking her hand forward and slapping Matt so hard in the face that he almost falls out of his chair! Renee steaming mad, grabs her glass of water, takes a sip, then as Matt turns back around, holding the side of his red hand printed face...Renee spits the water back out straight into his face, then dumps the rest of the water over him. She is the epitome of "done."



[Renee Young]
Asshole!


With that last word, Renee storms out of the room, as the camera zooms in on the now soaked, enraged Matt Sydal. He's gripping the side of his face, but we can visibly see a red mark peaking out under the hand from where she slapped him. The anger is festering within him as he stares off into the direction she left in. We didn't think an interview with these two could go any worse than before, but they certainly upped their game this time. Matt steaming mad, gets up out of his seat, shoves the chair over, then angrily leaves the scene just as Renee did as the footage cuts right there.

UP NEXT:
Tag-Team Match






As we fade from what went down during Renee's UNFILTERED interview with Matt Sydal the crow sounds erupt over the airwaves taking the arena to a darker lighting. They continue as the crowd comes alive with boos for the hardcore icon that is Raven who appears on the stage, wrists taped up for the match to come. He extends his arms, welcoming the showering of boos before beginning his descent down the ramp. The fans reach out to high five him but none of them get what they want as Raven passes them up. Commentary comes to life, lighting up his entrance.

Michael Cole : And it's time for a much anticipated tag match!

King: You have that right Cole and I can't wait. We get to see unlikely bedfellows yet again in XWL, and I don't mean Matt Striker and Eric Young, we're talking IC Champ and his contender along with two new found rivals.

Michael Cole : I wouldn't call them rivals King. Last week we saw tension rise between Eric Young and Shinsuke Nakamura, leading to this blockbuster match we get here tonight. Stephanie McMahon announced that Raven and Sheamus would take on those two, which is just nuts! How can Champion and Contender work together, or the other two who almost came to blows last week!?

But tonight they must work together and Raven seems fully intended on doing that as his face seems set and determined. The icon makes his way around the ring, rolling into it and finding himself sitting in a corner, back against the turnbuckle. He doesn't stand as the lights change, turning to a darker tint except for the ring which is illuminated. Raven doesn't even bother looking to the stage.



The lights fall out of the arena, a spotlight hitting the stage as we come to find Sheamus has appeared, the lights reflecting off of his skin. His arms are outstretched and his title is wrapped tightly around his waist as the crowd showers him in boos. He welcomes it with a grin, loving the hate and loving the fight he's about to get.

JBL: And here comes my main dude, Sheamus! This guy is the best Intercontinental Champion we've ever had boys, and I'll say that till I die.

Michael Cole : He has made quite the impact JBL, and tonight will be no different. One has to think whether teaming with his rival will hinder him though.

King: Knowing Sheamus he doesn't even need the help tonight. Him and Raven are both two forces in the ring and neither one of them want the help of the other, which is going to make this match fun to watch

Sheamus has now begun his descent down the ramp, the lights now green rather than shining only on him. Sheamus ignores the outstretched hands as he makes his way to the ring. The Intercontinental Champion makes his way down to the ring, immediately entering it and walking to the ropes. He extends his arms again, letting out an amazing yell, which the crowd sill boos him for. He then turns and finds Raven, who stares him down from the corner. The two share a moment, but that moment doesn't last as the lights go out. Without much hesitation the soundwaves are interrupted with a peculiar sound dropping over the speakers. A deep violin strum plays creating an orgasmic harmony. A jagged green frequency bar goes along with this intro pulsating and throbbing.





After the song builds, red dots flash enough to cause hallucinogenic effects. .









The dots fade away and only a couple letter’s are shown “S H I N” Everyone in attendance start a frenzy It continues. SUKE NAKAMURA in red bold letters. The minitron and arena lights illuminating the jacket of Nakamura as he walks casually onto the middle of the stage. “NAKAMURA” “NAKAMURA” the crowd bellows out whilst hovering over the barricade..



Shinsuke revs up the overly excited fans with shaking his wrist and bending it in strange ways. Puffing out his chest and reaching out grabbing their noise in his palm after closing his eyes shut to take them with him in a journey of his mind

As Nakamura extends his other arm, the crowd pops, but not in response to Nakamura but another figure bursting out in front of him. The one and only Eric Young, dressed in the same attire as Nakamura comes down the ramp, moving his hands only at the King of Strong Style would. Behind him, Nakamura's jaw is slacked, confused at what just happened.

Michael Cole : Swagsuke just got out swagged!

King: That isn’t smart by Young, I’d hate to see Nakamura unhappy.. We know what happened to the last guy who decided to push his buttons.

Eric Young has the crowd behind him as the theme carries him down the ramp. His hair slicked back very similar to how Nakamura wears his as his hands begin to shoot to the crowd. One of his eyes stay closed, the other, looking to fans he points his hands towards. Behind him, Nakamura follows, still not sure why this all happened. Eric Young even grins, revealing a black mouth piece as he busts out a Swagsuke like walk to make his way to the ring.

JBL: No way can that be possible, this guy is a bumbling idiot, he’s walking and dancing on
dangerous territory and I’m loving every single second of it.

Michael Cole: So is Eric Young, look at him he’s like a kid in a candy store.

Young hits the bottom of the ramp, much like Nakamura does, the energy moving through him causing him to power step it down the ramp. This carries him to the ring as he climbs the stairs. NakaYoung covers his mouth with one hand, the other pointing out to the crowd and his fans cheering. He enters the ring, the beat getting more intense causing him to shake violently, erupting in energy. As the beat drops, Young takes off to the ropes behind him, grabbing the top rope and falling backwards exactly like Nakamura does letting out a vigorous "YEAOHHHHHH!" causing a spotlight to drop on him, even the boys in the back seem to be okay with NakaYoung taking the entrance away from Shinsuke. Nakamura looks like someone just stole his car as he stares down Young, shock written all across his face.

JBL: Nakamura is acting like his candy was taken away from him, give it back already. The guy may not speak our language but whatever he does speak I'm sure he'd have a few choice words. I know, I would.

Nakamura shrugs and flashes his mouthpiece with a crazed look in his eye. Fascinated by Young taking over, he embraces the challenge and struts himself all the way to the barricade. This is where he finds the front row going berserk for his hand signals directed at every single Nakamura fan. Winking at Young in the ring, he uses the barricade to bounce right into the post where he swings off it near the side of the apron. Lost in translation, after grabbing the ropes he screams out "GAIJIN GOOD, WATCH THIS" Using the ropes to pull him across the steps and along the outskirts of the apron. He drags his feet doing a forward moonwalk. Coming into the ring via the 2nd rope without a stoppage with his neck hidden into his jacket collar. He owns this place, every camera is on a timer knowing it's about to be game over for NakaYoung's showmanship reign. Swagsuke reclaiming his mojo, is at the middle with his hands acting frightened. Winking at Bayley's number one fan and she yells out KING OF STRONG STYLE. Shooting to the right side of the ropes near Eric with his hand in the air telling him to make way for the Stronger prevailing YEAHOH. Slumping into the ropes with his fist clenching onto the top rope. He bends his back like Weekend At Bernie’s and folds his legs as if he's fallen off a 100 foot story building. Flattened and melted like the Wicked Witch Of The East in Wizard Of Oz.
Rises from being mortal and is seen as a holy figure who rose from the ashes of defeat. Taking his famous pose to new heights enough to show his true strength. He's stronger than he's ever been before. Sluggishly collapsing to the ropes, he uses them to step back to the center. He's full of power and he's about to let loose of that power to shake the earth at it's core. The hair in a mess, his mouthpiece shining because he cannot shine anymore himself. The crowd goes silent when he puts his two fingers up. He stops midway and says nothing but a message is sent. Eric Young is in his sights, the shot is pulled off after a rapid turn, impersonate Nakamura? You wish son, his hand goes down and he touches the mat screaming at the top of his lungs. YEAHOH. Nakamura deviously smiles again and tells E.Y. to come in. E.Y. complies and makes his way in right next to Nakamura. Swagsuke puts his hands on his hips and says softly. "You got served"  

EY nods in response, shrugging and then walking to their corner, lifting his foot up very oddly, very similar to how Nakamura does it, loosening up. Of course he struggles, appearing to be straining to get into the position, having to readjust multiple times. After stretching, he walks towards Nakamura, with their opponents watching, having a quick look between the two. They squint at each other, then EY points, first to himself, then to Nakamura, then back to himself. He does this rapidly for a moment or two, causing Nakamura's eyes to follow. Nakamura looks up, shakes his head and then turns around, exiting the ring so Eric Young can start the match up against Sheamus who steps forward from his side as Raven exits the ring as well. Then the bell rings.

Michael Cole: Sheamus is tuning up for the Brogue Kick here ladies and gentlemen!

JBL: This could very well be the end for Nakamura and Eric Young here as Sheamus might just have it!

Michael Cole: Wait, what the- what the hell!?

To what Cole is asking, the camera answers showing Raven drop off the apron and go to round the ring. Sheamus stops beating his chest, confusion coming across his face. He looks to Raven, watching him as he walks around the ring, not even looking to his partner or the competition before beginning to walk up the ramp.

"Oi! Where the hell are you goin'!? I'm talkin' to you ya greasy fat ECW bastard! What!? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?"

Sheamus extends his arms, his words loud enough to be heard, yet ignored by Raven. Raven has reached the top of the ramp, turning around to watch as Sheamus taunts him, not showing any emotion while the IC Champ smiles at him.

Michael Cole: Nakamura has made it to the corner while Sheamus was distracted!

Sure enough, Eric Young has had himself tagged in, entering the ring and standing behind Sheamus who simply hasn't noticed being caught up with his partner abandoning him. Sheamus is still grinning as he turns around right into EY who has lifted the IC Champion up onto his shoulders, striking with the EY Driver.

JBL: No! This is wrong! That's our IC Champion! The match should be called off now it's two on one!

Michael Cole: Two on one is right, look at Nakamura! He's in the corner!


As EY plants Sheamus with the EY Driver, Sheamus arches his back, rolling over to his knees, the EY Driver not able to silence the warrior. However he comes to find himself looking into a turnbuckle with Nakamura rilled up in it. Shinsuke lets out a powerful "YEAOH!" and takes off, kneeing Sheamus right in the face.

Michael Cole: KINSASHA!!!! He just nailed him in the side of the head with a KINSHOESHINE.

Nakamura knocks Sheamus back to the mat as Young falls on top of him, hooking the leg. The ref drops to the mat, going to count the pinfall but the crowd beats him to it. They carry the ref through three slaps of the hand to the mat, leading Eric Young and Nakamura to victory. On the stage, we find Raven who stands, almost cracking a smirk as he extends his arms, having watched the man who he has a shot against, lose the match for them. With that, the camera fades out to a commercial break.

We see Aries stretching Bryan outside of the ring as the refs count reaches 7, Aries releases Bryan and rolls in the ring. Aries then rolls back out of the ring to pull Bryan in to avoid winning by count out. Aries picks Bryan up for the brain buster when Bryan muscles out of it countering into a roll up.
1….

2…..
Aries Kicks out and both men are lying on the mat near exhaustion. Bryan kips up with the crowd chanting Yes! behind him hyping him up. Bryan moves to the corner and begins chanting Yes! Yes! Yes! Bryan waits for Aries to rise when Austin rolls out of the ring just in time to avoid the Yes! knee. Aries looks at Bryan and smiles with intensity when suddenly...



Austin Aries looks up toward the ramp surprised and awaits for Triple H to come out while Daniel Bryan does the same inside the ring. Meanwhile, the ref count has continued is at 9. Austin realizes this and tries to run back to the ring but doesn't make it in time and the ref calls for the bell, declaring Daniel Bryan as the winner of this bout. Bryan looks confused and disgruntled by the way the match played out and can be seen saying "What is he waiting for?" Austin Aries is visibly upset that The Authority's music distracted him and kept him from winning when nobody has even shown up. The camera is on Austin who can be seen yelling "This is bullshit!" and walking out of the arena, when all of the fans in the arena suddenly scream out in shock. The camera pans back to the ring where Daniel Bryan is being attacked by a man adorned in Demon warpaint

[Michael Cole]
OH MY?!!! Is that who I think it is?

The camera zooms in on this demon man and confirms the beliefs of Michael Cole and the audience, this man in none other than Finn Balor. The Authority's demon has returned and is brutally punching a defenseless Daniel Bryan. Balor picks a dead-weighted Bryan up and screams in his face "You're nothing! You're pathetic!" A beaten Bryan obviously took offense to Finn's word and defiantly slaps Finn Balor in the face, knocking him backwards. This slap enrages Finn and he quickly grabs Bryan and lifts him up for a devastating variation of his brainbuster DDT.

[JBL]
This is great! Finn Balor is taking out the trash and I couldn't be happier!

[Michael Cole]
How can you say that John? Daniel Bryan is one of the best superstars that XWL has.

[JBL]
It doesn't matter! The Authority doesn't want him here and that's all that matters!

[Jerry 'The King' Lawler]
Well that much is obvious. The Authority sent their hitman to take Bryan out tonight. But I have a feeling this is far from over between Finn Balor and Daniel Bryan.

Finn Balor looks over Daniel Bryan and yells "You're done!" in his face, then looks up at the camera. The last image we see before Anarchy goes to commercial is Finn pointing at the camera with his hand in a gun shape and firing.
