XWL Anarchy: 2/18/2019 - 2/25/2019

---

LIVE FROM: Spectrum Center
Charlotte, North Carolina

DEADLINE: 4:30 P.M. EST / 9:30 P.M. GMT

What's Coming Up On Anarchy?

1. Tonight, the advocate for CM Punk and Ronda Rousey, Paul Heyman is in charge of XWL Anarchy! Heyman has already flexed his power by giving CM Punk a main event Extreme Rules Match against the #1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship, JBL. Heyman has also made a match for Ronda Rousey, granting her a North American Championship opportunity against the seemingly unstoppable “Ace of Spades” Shayna Baszler. Will Heyman’s clients make the best of their golden opportunities?

2. Speaking of gold, XWL’s Golden Ticket and Iron Man, Matt Sydal is also in action tonight! However, Sydal will be facing two familiar foes in his friend and former tag team partner Ricochet and the man who brutally assaulted him nearly a month ago, the unpredictable Jimmy Havoc. Will either of Sydal’s opponents get revenge for their losses in championship matches? Or will the Iron Man further reign supreme?

3. Tonight, we will bear witness to the second ever episode of A Moment of Bliss! However, unlike when Alexa was in charge for the evening, Ruby Riott will have her hands full preparing to face Alexa’s new bestie Kairi Sane. On the docket for XWL’s newest talk show? The two challengers for Natalya’s Women’s Championship at Final Stand. With XWL’s Problem Child and the Third Generation Diamond in the same ring, will cooler heads prevail? Or will episode two of A Moment of Bliss be just as chaotic as its pilot?

XWL Anarchy begins! We pan around the arena showing the excited XWL Universe, with many signs in support of their favourite XWL superstars! Pyro shoots out from the stage, before cutting straight to the ring as JoJo is standing by

[Jojo Offerman]
Ladies and Gentlemen, as per orders of Mr.McMahon...The acting General Manager of Anarchy....


All the fans look towards the stage in anticipation of who the General Manager is....



A few moments pass by then out walks...Paul Heyman! The chrous of boo's ring around the arena for advocate of Ronda Rousey and CM Punk.  Heyman with microphone in hand, stands at top of the ramp, adjusts his suit and begins to speak




[Paul Heyman]
Ladies and Gentlemen....My Name is Paul Heyman! I am the advocate to "The Baddest Woman On The Planet" Ronda Rousey! I am the advocate to "The Best in The World" C..M.. Punk! But tonight...I am also your General Manager!

A huge smirk comes across the face of Paul Heyman as he begins a walk down the ramp



[Paul Heyman]
Hand picked by Mr McMahon because he knows exactly what I bring, he knows the success tonight will be with myself in charge, a very smart business decision Vince, I applaud you. Do you all want to know why it's such a smart decision? Because despite the very rude reception you people just gave me..I'm going to treat you to the best episode of Anarchy you'll have seen in quite some time. We've got a championship match, we've got a number one contenders match...but tonight, we also go...to the extreme!  

This seems to have changed the fans reaction to Heyman as the now erupt in cheers! Heyman is now at bottom of the ramp, he enters the ring. Standing in centre of the ring.





[Paul Heyman]
But let's not get ahead of ourselves, because I have planned out an action packed night..for all of you. There's a reason that I took ECW into the global phenomenon it became, because I know what the fans want, I know what all of you want to see! So where do we start? We have a very special "A Moment of Bliss", and the guests...will be the two women who go to Final Stand as contenders for the Womens Championship...Tessa Blanchard and Liv Morgan.  We have a very special Number One Contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship...To determine who will go on to face Matt Sydal you will see Daniel Bryan go one on one with Tyler Breeze!

[Paul Heyman]
And that isn't all.... I'm sure you all saw the disgraceful actions of The Miz last week, and trust me that will not go unpunished. Attacking another superstar that is simply giving an interview crosses a line, and I will take action....Tonight The Miz will step into this ring...in an handicap match! Standing across the ring from The Miz will be none other than Bray Wyatt....and Braun Strowman!

Once again the reaction changes as fans go back to now booing Heyman! with the clear biased of his client


[Paul Heyman]
I'm just doing what is right, if you want to boo me still then fine. But you're going to want to see this...because not only do we have a championship match! Tonight, you are all in for a treat when you see a new champion crowned, because The North American Champion Shayna Baszler will walk down this ramp to defend her championship. But standing in the opposite corner, will be a woman like no other,  She's "The Baddest Woman on the Planet"...RONDAAAA ROUSEEYY!!



[Paul Heyman]
You see, I'm not just here to give you people what you deserve to see.. I'm here to give the roster of XWL what they deserve. Ronda Rousey deserves a shot at the North American Championship, you people deserve a new champion. Tonight, you get that! All because once again, Paul Heyman is here to save the day...that brings me to the main event. There is only one man that deserves the main event, there is only one man capable of being in the main event of a Paul Heyman ran show. That man is "The Best In The World" C...M Punk! And tonight, at CM Punk's request...He steps in this ring, and goes to the extreme.  CM Punk could easily step in this ring and destroy the world champion, but instead...what a better way to shame the main event of Final Stand...by beating the so called Number one contender. That's why tonight..in an Extreme Rules match! CM Punk will go one on one with JBL! JBl almost ran this show into the ground, so I give the entire XWL Universe a chance to see him get exactly what he deserves. We're talking about a man that is a well known bully, that thinks he can walk around backstage and bully the producers, the camera men....but you couldn't bully Joey Styles could you John?


[Paul Heyman]
Tonight, you step in the ring with The Best In The World. You aren't going to be able to bully CM Punk, you aren't going to be able to avoid CM Punk. Tonight, CM Punk shows the world the fraud you are, John. Tonight, the entire XWL Universe sees what benefits being a "Paul Heyman Guy" has.

With that said, Heyman drops the mic in centre of the ring, before exiting the ring. Heyman adjusts his suit as he walks up the ramp, clearly happy with the show he has prepared

**Just after the commercial break a vignette pops up on the titantron**





Seth Rollins returns next week on XWL Anarchy!!!

As Anarchy resumes, we're quickly taken to a recap of last week's Intercontinental Championship Match between Ricochet and The Champion Matt Sydal. As the final moments drew near one of Matt's former challengers Jimmy Havoc would crack a chair over his back with a steel chair with such force that Sydal landed in a brutal heap onto Ricochet causing the match to be thrown out. As if that wasn't enough, he'd continue his assault with a pair of Acid Rainmakers delivered to the long time friends that were tearing the house down with a classic match. The scene ended with Havoc raising his title, letting his intentions be known. As the replay comes to an end, we see The Intercontinental Champion staring into a camera, ready to address what happened.



[[Matt Sydal]]
Last week, a certain man decided to push his luck, and attack me for the second time this month. I let the first time slide, he was upset, angry that he failed to topple The Iron Giant that I am...but last week? He interfered in my title defense, he robbed Ricochet the honor of being beaten by me...and if he thinks he's going to just get away with that? Well then tonight he's in for a very rude awakening. For I am going to wreak HAVOC on his foolish soul and put him down just like I did four weeks ago.



[[Matt Sydal]]
Jimmy, tonight isn't your big opportunity to find your way back into the hunt for MY title...no, it is a reminder of why you failed to take this from me in the first place. In reference to our last conversation, tonight I will be playing the role of "Thanos" and when I snap my fingers? You will disappear into a dust of obscurity!



[[Matt Sydal]]
As for you Ricochet? Do yourself a favor and stay out of my way tonight. Because you may say he robbed you of your opportunity against me, but we both know how that would have gone had he not sent me plummeting from my perch with that steel chair. I was seconds away from crashing down onto you with The Golden Star Press and retaining this title. All he did is rob you of that luxury, and if you don't let me conduct my business tonight? I'll show you exactly how last week was going to end.

With Matt staring intensely into the camera, he starts to simmer down, letting his frustrations over last week temporarily leave him as he continues.



[[Matt Sydal]]
Now I may be a bit of an egomaniac...but one thing I am not, is rude. Tonight isn't just about me and this Triple Threat Match...no, it's a night where two men will face off with the winner earning the right to be my next challenger The Intercontinental Championship. Tyler Breeze, the man that decided his "gorgeous" face was more important than paying attention in our last title match 3 weeks ago. The same man that like Jimmy decided to take his frustrations after the fact out on me. And then literally a week later goes back to business as usual trotting down some runway a "model" example of the kind of challenger that doesn't deserve to face me for a title as prestigious as this.



[[Matt Sydal]]
But then you have The American Dragon himself, Daniel Bryan. The man that swooped in to my rescue after Breeze's ambush, the very man that disguised himself to spoil Breeze's fashion show appearance last week. The very man that for years upon years in this company, has been nothing more than a momentary hype man that can say "Yes!"one minute...and then "Bye!" the next. However in spite his rocky history, there's something different about him this time. He feels like he's finally hungry enough to stick it out for the long haul, to finally rise up in the ranks and become a Champion. But let me spare you the future heartache, Daniel...that will not be coming at my expense that I assure you. Truthfully I don't care whichever one of you wins this match, because the result in the end will be the same regardless. Me, standing over you, AND STILL Intercontinental Champion!

He pulls The Intercontinental Championship off of his shoulder, and shoves it up close into the camera, making sure it gets a good look at his name that's currently on it. He's been able to defend it successfully thus far, and he plans to keep it that way whether it's Daniel Bryan or Tyler Breeze who becomes Number One Contender. The cameras soon cut away as we ask ourselves which of these two men will win their rivalry and move onto The Intercontinental Title Hunt?

Within an instant of Alexa Bliss' music sounding throughout The Spectrum Center as fans on all sides of the arena rise to their feet and let out a decent "pop!" in response for the arrival of Little Miss Bliss. The stage is already setup for her second installment of "A Moment Of Bliss" this time instead of two chairs (regardless of what you see in the pictures below, use your imagination) there are three white chairs, one on the right of the camera and two on the left for her special guests this evening. Soon Alexa steps out onto the stage with a huge smile on her face, no doubt due to her huge victory last week.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Here she is, The Host of A Moment Of Bliss, and The Woman that defeated Ruby Riott last week's Main-Event when they finally squared off after a very volatile rivalry and met inside of a Steel Cage.

[Renee Young]
I still get goosebumps over that amazing Twisted Bliss from the top of that Steel Cage.

[Corey Graves]
It was a good night but I don't know if the worst of it is truly over, I'm just being realistic here.

[Renee Young]
Can we have one good moment without you being so pessimistic?

While Alexa's set to compete later tonight she's not yet dressed for competition, instead her attire consists of a more professional look in honor of her hosting gig. She quickly takes a seat and just like that, the entire stage illuminates into a hue of pink and purple as it is now time for A Moment Of Bliss. Allowing the applause to die down, she grabs her custom bedazzled microphone and readies to introduce us to tonight's episode.



[Alexa Bliss]
Back by popular demand, ladies and gentlemen...welcome to...A Moment Of Bliss!

The audience responds with cheers as she pauses for a second then resumes speaking.

[Alexa Bliss]
First of all, I have one very special question for one very special person....ME!

She laughs for a moment then attains more of a serious demeanor as she snaps her fingers and a stagehand proceeds to bring out a bedazzled hand mirror which to quickly thanks him then takes and stares into.

[Alexa Bliss]
Self, how does it feel to have vanquished the bottom-feeding bitch that has reveled in your pain for the last THREE months?

Angling the mirror so that the camera can see her reflection she proceeds to respond.

[Alexa Bliss]
First of all, what a very good question, aren't you just a regular Barbara Walters.

She proceeds to "blush" waving her hand as if to say oh aren't you sweet.

[Alexa Bliss]
Second, there's but one word that describes how I feel...and believe me when I tell you it is BLISS. I stomped her stupid face into that mat, and when my backstabbing former best friend tried to ruin that moment for me? My TRUE friend Kairi Sane sprang into action leaving off the top of that Steel Cage with the most INSANE Elbow we've ever seen! And seeing how courageous she was to save me? I harnessed a bit of that courage myself, climbed up that Steel Cage...and knew that cockroach would be getting up...and I was ready. I threw caution to the wind, I soared from the top of that Steel Cage onto she who will never be named by me and sealed my victory with a TWISTED BLISS!

Fans cheer the mention of her victory, they've been down this journey with her from the moment Ruby Riott shoved her fingers down her throat at Roulette, and forced XWL to do something it's never done before and cut away because what followed was so over the line even for an extreme company like XWL. They saw a broken Woman and rather than holding her past against her they rallied behind her because no one should go through what she did. And seeing her finally overcome Ruby last week was just the moment she and they have been waiting for. So while this is a tad "obnoxious" in a way, she's kind of earned that right. She's feeling good, more like the old her...but not quite as "bitchy." She lowers the mirror and sets it on the table beside her.



[Alexa Bliss]
Now that that's out of the way...I'm not out here to talk about myself, or my incredible victory last week, even though it was really great...like, not to brag or anything.Tonight I have quite the exclusive treat for my second show because the talk of The Women's Division for practically the entire past year has been the rise of Natalya who has reigned as of tonight for 323 days as our Women's Champion. Dominance, persistence, and HEART. Three words that define Natalya's incredible reign which has seen history made on multiple accounts. She truly has proven that hard work does pay off, that if you truly never give up, anything IS possible. Doubters became believers, and I should know...because I was one of them. I thought she was just "lucky" that a "real" challenger could end this fairytale. But the truth is Natalya has earned the right to call herself the best because she is.

The cheers that follow supersede the reaction Alexa's previously received because The Queen of Harts is very beloved and this crowd is in full support of The Women's Champion even starting a "Natalya!" chant to which Alexa allows to continue for a couple of seconds before continuing.

[Alexa Bliss]
I mean she's gone through the last 10 Pay-Per-Views unbeaten...matches that included, Buried Alive, 60 Min Iron Man, A Steel Cage, An Elimination Chamber, a Hell in a Cell Match, A Tag-Team Match, A 2/3 Falls Match, a Triple Threat Match...she has survived all of it, and you have to give credit where credit is due, Natalya is at the forefront of this division and it's going to take a pretty phenomenal challenger to change that.

Again the audience detects no lies, cheering in full agreement with Little Miss Bliss and her very warm words about The Women's Champion.



[Alexa Bliss]
Unfortunately she's unable to be here tonight due to the injuries sustained last week, my source states that it was Mr. McMahon himself who refused to allow Natalya to travel here tonight in fear of those injuries being aggravated and potentially threatening her current title defense at Final Stand in just 3 weeks time. But while she isn't here, I feel it is my obligation to bring to you a look at Final Stand's Women's Title Match. Which is why tonight I've arranged a sit down with her two challengers at Final Stand, Liv Morgan & Tessa Blanchard to get a look at wh-

She has to stop herself as her words become drowned out by the immense boos that follow at the mention of both of Natalya's challengers. Neither are very liked, and that's an understatement, especially Liv who destroyed any goodwill she may have after she delivered a heinous assault on Natalya and even had the nerve to steal her title.

[Alexa Bliss]
Right, they're not the most "beloved" or even close...but I want to get inside their heads, see what makes them believe they are the one that can do what everyone else before them has failed to do. Both Women bring something different to the table, and after their match last week? After the insanity that ensued following that match? It's fair to say this MIGHT be Natalya's greatest challenge yet. Or at least, MAYBE. I reserve judgment until they have their "Moment Of Bliss" but so far they are really making an impact on this division. So what drives them? What separates them from the pack? What does one have that the other doesn't? I am here tonight to get the answers, and give them their Moment Of Bliss...before they go to war with The most DOMINANT Female in this company within the last year. So without further ado, please welcome The Number One Contenders to Natalya's Women's Championship at Final Stand...Liv Morgan and Tessa Blanchard!



First up, with a fresh new and disturbingly appropriate theme song, the Juvenile Delinquent skips out onto the stage with Natalya's stolen Women's Championship on her arm. Liv twirls around in a swift circle, flicking her baby pink hair back over her shoulder and sticking her bright blue tongue out for the world with a wicked laughter. She holds the title up proudly into the air before gazing at it affectionately. Morgan then arranges it back onto her shoulder and sticks her hand out for Alexa to shake with a closed-mouth smile that stretches from ear to ear. Before Alexa can reach out to meet the handshake, Liv whips her hand away and laughs again in the face of the host, sticking her tongue out before taking her spot in the seat closest to Alexa. The Problem Child dusts off her title and crosses her legs, grinning at both Alexa and the booing crowd who were seeming to develop sympathy and support for Liv Morgan until the nasty events that unfolded last week, which led to Liv still holding Natalya's coveted Championship.



The theme of Tessa Blanchard evokes a similar unpleasant reaction from the crowd, within moments the "Undeniable Diamond" herself Tessa Blanchard struts out onto the stage with a swagger and confidence that is made complete by the glistening smile on her face, presumably due to her victory last week which punched her ticket to Final Stand and the chance at the Women's Championship that comes along with it. Tessa's rocking the flat ironed straight hair tonight along with some classy dark shades with minor gold trim, black leather pants made complete by the blacked out leather boots beneath them, a leather jacket along with a silky blue undershirt complete the bomb look from Tessa. Unlike Liv, Tessa accepts Alexa's handshake before taking her seat opposite Liv. One would imagine that Tessa and Alexa wouldn't be the type to get along per say, but perhaps Tessa decided that she's a guest on Alexa's program tonight and that she would take the high road here to showcase just how childish her future opponent in Liv Morgan truly is.



[Alexa Bliss]
Here they are, your Number One Contenders to the most prestigious throne in The Entire Women's Division. Ladies, welcome to A Moment Of Bliss. Now I want to remind you that this is a space for BLISS...that means save the hostility and the fighting for that ring, got it? Thanks. I'd like to start things off with a bit of a "softball" just to get better acquainted with both of you, and allow our audience to learn more about you. So this question is for both of you and Liv seeing as you're the one flaunting Natalya's title...I'll let you answer first. What made you want to get into this business? What fuels you to become a Champion?

Liv grins giddily while swinging her legs back and forth off of the tall chair. While the crowd's boos begin to rain down from all sides, the Problem Child flicks her baby pink hair back over her shoulder which just so happens to be harboring Natalya's stolen Championship. Liv suddenly drowns out the booing as she lifts her mic and thinks out loud in a deep, more obnoxious version of her typical tone of voice.

LIV Morgan!
UHHHHHHHHHHM, let's see... What fuels me to be Champion? Hmmm...

The unhinged Juvenile Delinquent glances down at the shimmering title on her arm once again, ever so delicately petting and caressing it with the back of her fingers while she thinks. In an instant, her facade breaks as she laughs to herself and directs her attention back to Alexa Bliss.

LIV Morgan!
NATALYA'S MISERY... All everyone seems to care about is the never-ending sap story that is Natalya's title reign. Never-ending until Final Stand that is, when I rip the rug out from under this "Unbreakable" act, and BURST Nattie's little success bubble once and for all. Y'see Lex, Nat's had a pretty big year, but y'know who had an even bigger one? ME. I came back from a career-ending injury and scrapped my way back to the top of the locker room WITHOUT the help of anyone else, contrary to what everyone says. Sasha never helped me get here, Sasha only helped herself. If anything, Sasha Banks was holding ME back. I've already done what Natalya couldn't, I rid XWL of the "Boss." Come Final Stand, I'm going to do what the "Boss" couldn't, and officially rid Natalya of my new XWL Women's Championship... So to get back to your question Alexa, doing what people say I'm not allowed to or can't do, fuels me. Doing it at the expense and misfortune of others? That fuels me even more! 2019 is the start of the career I had stolen from me last year, and I'm kicking it off by first successfully tossing Sasha Stanks out of the business that made her, and NOW I'm going to push Humpty Dumpty Neidhart right off her throne at Final Stand. And when I'm finished, all of Mr. McMahon's horses and all of his men, will NEVER be able to put rickety, old Nattie together again!

Liv chucks her head back and laughs maniacally to herself, her blue tongue well on display as she turns her attention back to the stolen Championship which she is now cradling in her arm in a manner reminiscent of a child caring for her baby doll.

Tessa sits there and shakes her head with her custom made dark shades still covering her eyes perfectly, she raises the mic to her mouth.

(Tessa Blanchard)
Now that the child has had her turn, allow a WOMAN to answer your question Alexa. You started by asking us what made us get into this business, for me? it was simple, it wasn't a choice, I was BORN into this business, and that's not me saying that dad forced me to take this path because he most certainly didn't, he told me I could achieve success in whatever I decided to put my mind too as long as I was willing to work for it and here I am today. Sure, I had a choice of what life path to take, but it was never a question for me, wrestling is in blood, it's in my veins, and it's in my genes.

Like her or not, and most people don't, what is UNDENIABLE? is that Tessa Blanchard was BORN to wrestle and even with her namesake, has still worked her tail off to get to where she is today.

(Tessa Blanchard)
What fuels me to become a champion you asked? THAT! (Tessa points directly at Liv Morgan) That child, that THING, whatever the hell you wanna call her, cosplayer, clown, psycho, all quite fitting descriptions of what sits across from me. Liv Morgan is what fuels me to become champion, and before you ask, no, not Liv specifically, but rather the genre of people she represents in this industry, the preppy, dolled up, 80 cases of makeup on their faces girly girls who try and pass themselves off as professional wrestlers, that's what keeps me up at night, the fear that one day women's wrestling will be defined by people like her, NOT AS LONG AS I'M AROUND SWEETHEART! I mean just look at her, she's just absolutely detestable, so much potential somewhere in there, but it's just completely concealed by makeup and your 2 year old personality. Take her right now for example, she's sitting there with a title on her shoulders that's NOT EVEN HERS!!! She stole the damn thing and now she has the gall to sit here with it, where as if you compared that to what I did to Nat when I snatched the belt out of her grasp? I did that to make a statement, and when all was said and done I placed that title back on her shoulder and told her to keep it warm for me when I take it at Final Stand. I made my point and left it at that, THIS ONE HOWEVER (Tessa once again points at Liv) She wants to waste her time playing silly kiddy thief games, that's the difference between championship material like myself and the bottom of the barrel stepping stones like her over there, she has to steal that title to be able to get her hands on it, Me? I don't need to stoop to such levels, it's as simple as walking into Final Stand, handling my business which is pinning or submitting one of em, and capping the night off by hoisting that title above my head in victory, and that's all there is to it for me, I have a job to do come Final Stand and I have go out and do it, simple as that.

Tessa is absolutely focused on Final Stand, she knows what she has to do to achieve victory, but with Liv and Natalya standing in her way of achieving her dream? this is gonna be a case of "easier said then done" for Tessa come Final Stand.

(Tessa Blanchard)
I wanna touch more on the what made me come into the business aspect and give you a quick backstory of my life and explain to you why my outlook on life is the way it is Alexa, I'm old school, I lived a simple life growing up, dad was away alot obviously which absolutely sucked, but it only made me stronger, it made me resilient, resourceful, but most important of all, it made me self reliant. I didn't wanna have to depend on ANYONE to get me anywhere in life, I wanted my fate to be in MY hands, in my control, and so far it has been and I intend to keep it that way. The point I'm trying to make here is this, the haters out there will hate due to their jealousy of me, which is perfectly fine with me, ain't no skin off my ass at the end of the day, but like me or not? I speak the truth, I tell it like it is, and the truth is? the Liv Morgan's of the world are an embarrassment to this industry. Professional wrestling isn't about looking like comic book characters or barbie dolls or focusing on pleasing the male audience for a living, it's about busting your ass night in and night out to have the best in ring abilities that you can possibly have, now can I put in half the work of everyone else out there and get 10 times the result? absolutely, because I'm just genetically superior to every woman on this roster, but that's besides the point, there's only 1 Tessa B and you're lookin at her, there's a reason they call me the diamond.

Nobody said Tessa wasn't high on herself and nobody said that she wasn't a very opinionated person as well, and she made some of her opinions VERY clear right there.

(Tessa Blanchard)
Nevertheless, no matter how good you are? there's always gonna be detractors. I've had to hear for years and years that the only reason I am where I am today is because of my last name, and my response to that is the same every time, my name got me noticed early on which helped me at that stage no doubt, but all the work that I had to put in to get here? to get to this company, and to be in a position to challenge for the Women's Championship at Final Stand? all that work didn't transpire due to my name, it transpired due to my UNDENIABLE way of life. It's not just some nickname or catchphrase I throw out there for cheap pops, it's a way of life for me, I WILL NOT BE DENIED, and for as close to perfection as I may be? I still ain't perfect, I've gotten knocked back in my life and my career before, but like I just said, I'm UNDENIABLE, I won't stop chasing what I want until it's in my grasp and that's just the way Tessa Blanchard lives her life and runs her career. I WON'T be DENIED in my quest for gold and come Final Stand I'm gonna shatter Nat's dream and this little pipsqueak's dream over here and I'm making MY dreams come true, that along with my disdain for Liv and the type of "wrestler" she represents? that's what fuels my championship drive Alexa.

Tessa lowers the mic allowing for Alexa to hit back with another question for both.



[Alexa Bliss]
Clearly you're both very different, from your personalities, to what makes you tick, to even how you answered that question. But while you may not be alike in most areas, one thing makes you almost one in the same. Your goal to leave Final Stand as The NEW Women's Champion. However, in envisioning an ending such as that...we have to look at the kind of Champion you're both challenging. Natalya may have infamously "failed" for 2,945 days...but surely you acknowledge the tremendous reign she's achieved for the last 323 days. You can knock the challengers that have come for the throne, you can believe you're superior to them in every way, but if you were in her shoes, and someone tried to undersell your success I'm sure you wouldn't like that very much. You may be different in many ways from those who have tried and failed, but you can't ignore one blaring thing. They tried, they failed...you're stepping up to the very plate they struck out at. What are you going to do differently? What makes you so sure that you are The "ONE" to end the dominant reign of Natalya Neidhart? Don't take this personally it's more so me trying to give you the platform to silence any naysayers that may believe it's easy to say it, but as it's been shown, it's far more difficult to actually achieve it. Which you kind of have to acknowledge is a valid point to make, right? Because all of them surely believed they were different than the ones before them? They all said they would do it, and then they didn't. So what makes you so sure of yourself that by the time Final Stand is over...the same isn't being said about you?

(Tessa Blanchard)
The difference between me and the "challengers" that came before me is the blood that's flowing through my veins. That blood? that's 3rd generation blood, there's only 2 people in this division that has that type of lineage, knowledge, and experience encased within their DNA, one of em's me, the other is Natalya. And for the record, I absolutely WILL sit here and say that the only reason she's had that title this long is due to her opponents being cupcakes, it's America, free country, I can say whatever the hell I want and if that somehow hurts the champ's feelings when she goes to bed at night? then that's just too damn bad, I'm not here to worry about people's feelings, in my eyes? it's absolutely fair criticism, she's faced a bunch of NOBODIES!!! Is it her fault that the company put those people in front of her and she knocked em down and in certain people's cases including the one sitting across from me, knocked em down more then once? no it's not, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna give her a free pass for it, she's done her job, she's taken down what's been put in front of her time after time, but what I'm trying to get across to people if they would simply open their ears and LISTEN, is that SHE HASN'T BEEN TRULY CHALLENGED throughout this whole damn reign.  

Tessa sits up in her seat and leans forward into the mic as her facial expression gets more intense with each word, it's clear she has a point she wants to make.

(Tessa Blanchard)
People out there, they don't grasp the difference between a "good" wrestler and a "generational" wrestler. I don't care if you're 2nd generation, 3rd generation, 4th and so on and so forth, there's no comparison to someone who is born and bred into this business vs someone who chooses this path. That's my argument, her DNA? it INSTANTLY propels her to a different level than everyone else here, EXCEPT for me of course as my 3rd generation DNA puts me right beside her. The girls back there right now? including the one right there (points at Liv once more) their focus and their priorities lay elsewhere in this modern social media age that we live in today, everyone's too busy staring into their phones for 24 hours a day, most of em? male or female? their worried about the next perfect instagram selfie or putting out the next trending tweet on twitter, where as someone like me? I can't get away from wrestling, that's where my focus is 24/7 it's my life. Any spare time I have? it's spent in the gym keeping myself in peak shape or it's spent studying ways to improve my craft, my dad could spend an hour just telling me how to run the ropes the best ways in the best situations, that type of stuff? that stuff is becoming a lost art and it's up to someone like me to absorb all of that knowledge, all of those little nuances that don't matter to the masses, and keep them alive, add them to my arsenal, and give myself any and all edges I possibly can going into every match. And ya know what? that's the type of stuff Nat has picked up from the Hart dungeon over the years and that stuff? once you learn it and absorb all of it? it stays with you forever, and I've got no doubt she's gonna train in that dungeon or whatever damn dungeon her and TJ have set up in their basement, but for as hard as you'll train? I'm gonna train 10 times harder, I'm gonna prepare 10 times harder and I'm gonna be 10 steps ahead of you from the moment that bell sounds, and when it's all said and do--

Tessa can’t finish her sentence without RUDELY being interrupted by an overwhelmingly loud and dramatized snoring. Liv Morgan, who had ironically been on her phone through the entire second half of Miss Blanchard’s speech, had finally put her phone away and began the snooze-fest directly into the end of her live microphone.

LIV Morgan!
BOOOOOOOOOOOring, no wonder why everybody around you is on their phone all the time! I’d rather read through all 56 pages of Apple’s terms and services agreement than have to sit through ANOTHER one of your state addresses. I mean FOR REAL BRO, I just wanna take a quick second and congratulate all of the people watching at home who suffer from insomnia and were just cured. Congrats, you guys! Isn’t Tessa just the greatest?! And on top of that I’ll give it to ya Tess, you did beat me last week... But y’know something? I’ve never felt better ever since!

The Problem Child shifts her position in her high-chair and sits on her knees, leaning over the arm of the chair towards Tessa as she laughs and sticks her bright blue raspberry tongue out at the Undeniable One.

LIV Morgan!
The difference between me and the other challengers, even Tessie here, is that I’ve been in the ring with Natalya before. Even though she hasn’t pinned me in a year, I know what’s coming, I know all of her weaknesses, and I know every single itty bitty button of hers that I need to SMASH. In case anyone forgot, I was partners with the woman who knows Natalya better than ANYONE else, and I’ve been in the ring with and been duped by BOTH of them. But the biggest difference between me and any other challenger is that I don’t break under the pain, I FEED off of the pain. Every time someone has tried to injure me or put me back on the shelf I come back even harder. Can you say the same, Tess? Sure, you like to dish it out all the time but can ya really take it back? I’m dyin’ to know, and I plan on finding out at Final Stand... You wanna play dirty with me, huh? I can play that game. I built my career off of playing that game and if there’s one person in this business that you can’t outplay, it’s ME. Yeah you beat me last week, but at Final Stand I’m gonna make you WISH that sledgehammer put YOU out of YOUR misery and saved you from the HELL I’m going to put you and Nattie through to make sure that this title stays around my pretty little waist for a VERY, LONG, TIME.

The Juvenile Delinquent takes the liberty of blowing her tongue out in Tessa’s face, droplets of saliva flying in the Undeniable One’s direction before Liv’s butt finally finds its way back onto the chair.



[Alexa Bliss]
So let's say ONE of you is right...and at the end of the biggest spectacle of the entire year....you reach the pinnacle and become The NEW Women's Champion. What kind of Champion do you believe you'll be? What history do you aspire achieve within that reign? Natalya has infamously cemented herself as The ONLY Champion to successfully retain inside The Elimination Chamber. She's weeks away from becoming The Longest Reigning Women's Champion in XWL History. And she will forever be known as The Woman that took part in The FIRST Women's Main-Event at Final Stand, and being the winner of that match. Any personal challenges you'd like to overcome to set yourself apart from The Women who have held that title before you?

Liv's free hand instantaneously shoots straight up into the air, as if she were the teacher's pet in a classroom. Her head twitches back over to Tessa, almost looking proud that she so readily knew the answer. The Problem Child smiles patronizingly at the Undeniable One before pulling her mic up to her lips to address the question first this time around.

LIV Morgan!
Aside from going down as the obvious choice of cutest Champ in history, when I become Women's Champion I'm gonna turn the entire basis of the XWL Women's Division on its head. If Natalya is even able to make it to Final Stand after that monumental beating I gave her last week, then I'm going to make sure her record-breaking reign goes out with an even bigger and even better BANG! It's only fair, right? The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall, and I'm going to do EVERYthing in my power to make sure that I'm the one pushing her off the ledge, and laughing as she falls ALLLLLLLL the way back to the bottom... Like Tessie so delicately put it, I didn't grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth. Instead, I grew up STEALING that spoon right out of the mouths of big crybabies like those two. They, particularly this one, like to parade around backstage as if the fact that "they're gonna be just as irrelevant and overlooked as their old men one day!" somehow makes them superior to everyone else. Is that what you wanna hear, Tessie, huh? Is it? D'you wanna hear that you and Nattie are SOOO lucky to be embarrassments to your families' names? Am I supposed to be jealous of you spending your entire careers, or better yet your entire LIVES not being able to break out of granddaddy's shadow..? It doesn't matter to me whose blood runs in your veins, Tess, because at Final Stand I'm coming for that blood, and it's all gonna look the same when I claw it out of you in front of the entire world.

Liv bites her lower lip like an overtly giddy toddler, snickering and huffing in such a way that shows just how badly she can barely contain her excitement. Liv Morgan has always been a little off her rocker since returning to XWL, but it's beyond evident that over these last few weeks something in her, perhaps the last thread of normalcy she had to her name, had finally snapped. It's difficult to tell if this sudden turn of events was due to the blow to the skull that Morgan suffered last week at the hands of Tessa Blanchard, or perhaps if it was the emotional trauma she sustained from her former partner and best friend, Sasha Banks, or possibly even a combination of the two. Who's to say? But one thing's for certain, Liv Morgan, as crafty and juvenile as she may be, has certainly turned the page onto an entirely new level of deeply disturbed.

(Tessa Blanchard)
Oh is that right now Liv? You're gonna claw the blood out of me? With what? because much like you will? those little dolled up nails of yours are gonna snap under the pressure at Final Stand. In reference to your question Alexa, I'm not looking that far ahead and thinking about bringing change to this division, my eyes are on the prize, as confident as I am in beating Liv and Natalya? I'm also not stupid, I'm not overlooking them with some illusions of grandeur before that championship is even around my waist. I'm also not out to make "history" once it is around my waist, that leather strap and that gold plating is "the validity" in which I seek and come Final Stand I'm TAKING IT. I'm also not Natalya, I'm not someone who hinges upon some sort of mythical fairy tale title reign and 1st time ever moments to gloss over thousands upon thousands of days of irrelevancy. I don't seek the world's approval, I don't NEED their approval like Nat does, i don't need anyone to smile and be excited over the things I do, I go in, I get the job done, and I leave, simple as that, and that will be the blueprint to my success at Metlife Stadium. I'll say this though, throughout all those years of irrelevancy and failure that Nat went through? she was still more relevant in this business than this Jersey street trash ever will be.

Tessa looked directly at Liv as she delivered those final words which drew a massive OHHHHHHH from the XWL universe, where as Liv? she just smiled as though the insult went right over her head or as if it went in one ear and out the other, you can't really tell with Liv as after last week? it's even more apparent that she's got a few screws loose, or is that just what she wants the world to think?



[Alexa Bliss]
Tonight may be your Moment Of Bliss...but Final Stand could be THE Moment that changes the course of your entire career. Liv, last year you were taken out of the game and had to watch from the sidelines. Tessa, you've been waiting for this very opportunity since Final Stand last year. You've both had different paths, you both have two different mindsets when it comes to this one important night. And rather than focusing on the drama, or the tension between you two, rather than hammering home the difficulty that this match presents given the fact she hasn't been beaten on the big stages in 16 months and there's no bigger stage than Final Stand. I want to focus my final question on going back to what brought you into this business. The night to come is a thing of dreams, fighting for The Women's Championship at the showcase of the immortals, so how does it feel? Truly, how do you feel knowing that in just 3 weeks you have without a doubt the biggest match of your careers awaiting you? Where you Liv can achieve your redemption, or you Tessa can make your family proud by adding the name Blanchard to the history books once again. Beneath the competitors that you are, is two Women who have worked very hard to be here, and I want to know how THEY feel?

LIV Morgan!
... Honestly Lex, this Final Stand means everything to me. At Final Stand, everything finally comes full circle. The last year of my career, my injury, my recovery, my return, my backstabbing soulmate, and now having a match for this Women's Championship at Final Stand, it really makes it all seem worth it. These people might not like me so much right now, but love me or hate me, at Final Stand I'm gonna show the world that even a girl from Jersey can out-scrap a couple of "thoroughbred," no-good suckers. In 3 weeks, Tessa will learn the EXACT same lesson I taught Sasha Banks, one of the greatest Superstars this company has ever known, when SHE tried to put me out and double-cross me. In 3 weeks, I'm coming for Natalya and EVERYthing she stands for. I grew up breaking the rules and doing whatever it takes in Jersey. I made a name for myself in this company doing the same thing, and no Canadian Mother Teresa on her high horse is gonna tell me to do it any other way. But most importantly, in 3 weeks I'm going to carve my name into the history books and prove to everyone that I haven't lost my edge, I only just found it.

After Liv finishes her final thoughts off in a very matter-of-fact manner, she holds a strong and cute grin as she looks back and forth between Alexa and Tessa before crossing her legs again and wiggling her foot back and forth in an overtly peppy fashion.

(Tessa Blanchard)
It funny you mention the word "edge" Liv, because at Final Stand? I'm gonna finish what I started last week and I spiked your head into that damn sledgehammer, I'm gonna send you OVER THE EDGE once and for all, and when I'm done doing that? it's gonna be just Me and the Queen Of HEARTS one on one, once and for all, like it ALWAYS should've been. I'm gonna finish the job I started almost one year ago on that overrated, pompous, self righteous Canadian BITCH, I'm gonna rise to the occasion, I'm going to step up to the queen's throne, I will go face to face with her, and I WILL RIP HER HEART OUT!!! And when she stands there in front of me, lifeless carcass leaning on me as I hold her bloody heart in my hands, I will throw her body and her heart off that throne and send them both falling into the abyss, into obscurity, and into career irrelevancy once more, and then, I will take my seat in that throne, the crown will placed on my head, the diamond encrusted scepter will be in my hand, the crown jewel being that Women's Championship will be around my wait, and this division? THIS COMPANY? will all BOW to the DIAMOND QUEEN, and that fate ladies and gentleman is UNDENIABLE!!!

Tessa spikes the mic down onto the stage as the camera focuses in on Alexa who gets the final words of this edition of Moment Of Bliss.



[Alexa Bliss]
Well, once again ladies thank you for your time and good luck at Final Stand. This has been your Moment Of Bliss in the midst of the very chaotic Women's Title picture. With only two more episodes of Anarchy to go, you're going to want to keep your eyes on these two ladies as they continue to make their case for why they are The NEXT Women's Champion. Goodnight, and enjoy the rest of the show.

With that final word from the host, Liv Morgan wastes no time in jumping up from her seat and raising "her" Women's Title that she stole from Natalya after striking her down with a sledgehammer. Clearly, she believes this title is now hers, and she wants Tessa to get a nice long look at it. But as Tessa's already established she's not playing Liv's childish games. She instead rises up from her seat and stares at the grinning false Champion and looks into her eyes not uttering a word as these two challengers stare off with one another.

[Mauro Ranallo]
While Natalya wasn't allowed to be here tonight, you know she is at home right now watching this interview, and as her two challengers boast that they are the one that will bring her incredible reign to an end you know she's ready to prove otherwise at Final Stand.

[Renee Young]
Not only that, but having to see Liv parade around with The Women's Championship? That can't feel good, because in a way...it's almost like staring into the future.

[Corey Graves]
Much like when Tessa swiped the title out of Natalya's hands to prove that's how easy it will be for The Undeniable One to take that title for real.

[Mauro Ranallo]
However as Alexa reminded them, saying it is one thing but doing it is an entirely different beast. We've seen every challenger before now say similar things, promise things that were proven false in the end. And with Natalya's reign of dominance spanning this long, it's important Tessa Blanchard & Liv Morgan don't forget WHY she's still Champion or else there's a very strong possibility we repeat that statement come the night after Final Stand.

[Renee Young]
One final note, I know once Natalya's allowed back on Anarchy, hopefully next week...the first thing she's doing and taking back HER title. So for Liv's sake she better be careful. We've seen how attached Natalya has grown to The Women's Championship and having someone steal that from you? That's beyond disrespectful for everything you've poured out to actually call that yours.

We get one final look at the tense yet calm stare down between The Juvenile Delinquent and The Undeniable One as the camera soon begins to pan in further, very quickly as it focuses in on The Women's Championship raised by Morgan. But it isn't focusing on her having it, no...the focal point is the person's name on it. The title is now in full view showing "Natalya" on it's plate reminding us that it is indeed still hers as the cameras fade.

Normal Match

Non-Title



20 minutes into the match...

As Aiden English and Elias are locked in a series of blows to each other, the audience hangs in each punch thrown. Elias clobbers the face of Aiden English and the audience boos. Only for Aiden English to return the favor, and for the audience to cheer. Eventually, Aiden begins to get a series of punches in, and the crowd cheers louder and louder. Feeding off of their momentum, Aiden Irish whips Elias against the ropes. Elias rebounds off the ropes, running straight at Aiden….

[Renee Young]
Oh my god! The ref is down!

Renee is correct, as while Aiden was going for a boot to the face of Elias, he managed to dodge just at the last second and push the official into harm’s way, leading to Aiden English delivering a big boot right to the face of the referee. Stopping dead in his tracks after realizing his mistake, Aiden looks to the body of the official before him, unsure of what to do. Quickly seizing this opportunity however, Elias spins Aiden around and gets him in position for the Drift Away. However, before Elias can hit the move, Aiden deliver a blow to the side of Elias, who lets go of Aiden while recoiling. Now free of Elias’s grasp, Aiden intends to reverse the situation, grabbing onto the head of Elias, setting up for the Director’s Cut. However, Elias manages to escape this position much in the same away Aiden just escape. As these two men are both trying to gain the upper hand in this situation however, a figure comes quickly sprinting down the ramp.

[Mauro Ranallo]
That…. That’s JBL!

JBL sneaks into the ring as both Aiden and Elias seem to be unaware, jostling for position. As the two are in a lock-up, JBL stands behind Aiden, measuring him up, preparing for the Clothesline from Hell. Noticing the reaction from the crowd, Aiden finally turns to face JBL, and a Clothesline from Hell is promptly delivered….. TO ELIAS!

Aiden just barely manages to dodge the path of the man challenging for his title in two weeks, sending him instead right into the unsuspecting Elias! Realizing what he’s done, a furious JBL stands over the body of Elias, unsure of what to do. Eventually, he turns around to face the champion, but promptly eats a Director’s Cut for his troubles!

[Renee Young]
Aiden English with the Director’s Cut to JBL!

[Corey Graves]
Oh come on now, that was uncalled for!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Uncalled for? Corey, it was JBL’s decision to get involved with this match!

Right after delivering the Director’s Cut to JBL, Aiden pushes his limp body out of the ring and makes a mad dash to the second rope of the turnbuckle, taking advantage of the botched interference of his rival. Standing poised on the second rope, he points at the body of Elias, and delivers That’s A Wrap! As Aiden covers Elias, the ref has finally begun to stir, and slides in to count the 1…. 2…. 3!

[JoJo Offerman]
The winner of this match.... the XWL World Heavyweight Champion, Aiden English!

Aiden celebrates his victory in the ring before making his way to the outside where the still laid out body of JBL lies. Aiden looks down at his Final Stand opponent, and raises his world championship up high as Anarchy continues.

The Undertaker stands tall over the returning “legend killer”. He looks down to the man he pinned, before chuckling to himself. The Undertaker wastes no time climbing out of the ring and slowly making his way the ramp, before eventually back through the curtain. By this time Orton has begun to come to, as he gets to his feet, and demands a microphone.

Corey Graves:
Randy Orton is in shock.

Mauro Ranallo:
Orton still shaking the cobwebs out. After that close match with the undertaker!

Renee Young:
Looks like Orton is requesting a mic. Randy has to be disappointed in losing this big match tonight. Especially since he has been on a hiatus.

***CROWD BOOS***

Randy Orton:
SHUT UP! That was a fluke and you people know it. For years I have been at the top of XWL. I was the very first XWL World Champion. I am the best to ever step in a ring. I know it and you people know it too. I know for the past 6 months I haven't been shining to my real potential. People have been saying "Randy has been phoning it in". Well... not anymore.

***RANDY SLIPS ON A SHIRT***

Randy Orton:
The Age of Orton has returned. This isn't a message for the just the Undertaker. This is a message for anyone in the back who gets in my way. I am going to go on a tear of the roster like no body in XWL has ever seen or done. There will be prices to pay. If you cross me just know I will strike. This is not a matter of "if" but "when" and you can believe that. For too long I have been an after thought. Now I will be every body's only thought. One by one you will all fall to the....Age Of Orton.

Orton throws the mic to the ground as his music hits, taking Anarchy to a commercial break showcasing the Main Event of Final Stand between JBL and Aiden English for the World Heavyweight Championship.

The roof of the arena nearly comes unglued as the music of Becky Lynch fills the arena,

Corey Graves
Here she is, the woman who cowardly attacked Asuka after her match and then got choked out minutes later!

Renee Young
What? She didn't even put any pressure on the move, Corey! What Asuka did was uncalled for!

Corey Graves
Becky tried to taunt the Empress and nearly got beheaded, Asuka was in the right, Renee.

Mauro Ranallo
Well no matter how you view it, she does not look happy tonight!

Mauro was right, Becky emerges from the back without a smile, looking like she means buisness....



Becky walks down the ramp with a purpose, she walks up the steps and enters the ring, she calls for a mic.

Becky Lynch
Boy oh boy, I'm in a pissy mood tonight...Last week I came out here after Asuka's match to send a message, not one to harm her, a message to warn her how fast our Final Stand match can be over.

Becky paces around for a second before continuing.

Becky Lynch
Then she decided to interrupt my interview by wrapping her greasy arms around my troat and actually try to hurt me. Now I get that she probably wanted to feel important again and hurt someone on her return but she made a huge mistake tryin to make that me! So here's whats gonna happen-





Corey Graves
I think the Empress will decide what happens actually!

Asuka makes her way on the stage to some cheers and some boos? People booing Asuka is not normal by any standards but if it bothers Asuka it doesn't show

Renee Young
Asuka doesn't look too torn up over what she did last week

Corey Graves
And why should she? I fail to see how Becky assaulting Asuka and her giving her a taste of her won medicine is wrong

Mauro Ranallo
You know it's deeper than that, don't play dumb Corey

While the announcers bicker Asuka slides into the ring. If looks could kill Asuka would be a dead woman. Becky anger is being directed straight at her but Asuka's expression could only be described as playful. Something that probably only makes Becky angrier. Asuka simply holds her hand out and is quickly given a microphone. The Empress of Tomorrow brings the mic to her lips, a grin on her face

Asuka
It...That...Easy!

This brings in some cheers from the crowd but still a decent amount of jeers. Asuka's gleeful expression at Becky does little to nothing to lighten the tension

Asuka
You think I want to hurt someone important? If that true...why I hurt you? You important? Becky...you nobody to me!

Mauro Ranallo
Asuka is being so disrespectful! This is so unlike her

Corey Graves
You want her to lie?

Asuka
You started it. You came out to MY match. You tried to steal my shine. And you tricked me and attacked me! You sent a message and I sent one back. While back at home I learned something. Being nice...being kind...it gets you nothing but misfortune. I lost my job being nice. I lost my passion being nice. And last week, I almost lost my arm being nice. And for what? For you? For them?

Asuka gestures to the crowd who can slowly are understanding what the new Asuka thinks of them. A lowly hum of boos start to arise towards the Empress

Asuka
Hanashite iru toki ni damare!

Asuka yells at the crowd with a fury and though no one can really understand what she's saying they can tell by her tone it isn't nice or welcoming

Asuka
This may be personal for you but to me? You just stepping stone. And at Final Stand...I gonna step all over you!

Becky Lynch
This is America sweetheart your gonna haveta speak English if you wanna get far in tis country and I know what your tinkin "I'll do whatever the hell I want, who is this chick to tell me oterwise". Well to answer that I'm the chick who could've broken you arm last week if I wanted to but if you tink I'm really that nice then you must've been mistaken cause honey, I was just warnin ya but don't take that warnin as me being weak. You'll find out just how dangerous I can be.

Becky walks up to Asuka and smiles as their eyes meet.

Becky Lynch
But I tellya Asuka, if you reall tink you can choke me out before I break your arm, how 'bout we put it to the test?

Mauro Ranello
Does she mean what I think she means?

Becky Lynch
You and me Asuka, Final Stand....IN A SUBMISSIONS MATCH!

Renee Young
OH MY! If Asuka accepts thats going to be one hell of a match!

Asuka eye widen a little as she processes the challenge that Becky has just laid out for her. While Asuka can get it done many ways in the ring submissions are for sure her specialty. And you can see that exact thought cross her mind as she quickly licks her lips and smiles

Asuka
You want me in submission match? Becky, you must how Americans say, suicidal. You are on!

The roar of the crowd means nothing to Asuka. Their excitement is not her concern. Because Asuka knows this is more than just any match. This is a chance at redemption. After all, it was this match that put Asuka out of XWL. A match that she watched and replayed everyday that she sat at home, away from her dream. There is no Shayna to stop Asuka from wrapping her arms around Ale-Becky's throat and squeezing the life out of her

Asuka
You might think your Dis-Arm-Her will be enough to defeat me but...I would rather have arm broken than to lose. When I get my arms around your neck I'm gonna squeeze till you purple. And when I stand tall at Final Stand you will know you and I were never in the same league. I am the greatest submission specialist in XWL! You will regret this! You-

Before Asuka can finish her sentence she's blasted by none other than Becky Lynch's fist! A loud SMACK can be heard as the impact and sudden force causes Asuka to drop her mic with a THUD!

Renee Young
DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT!

Becky Lynch
I'm here to fight not to talk, seeya at Final Stand.

Becky drops her mic and walks off, jumping off the apron. She turns around to see Asuka smiling and licking her lips, Becky gives her a smirk before walking into the back leaving Asuka alone in the ring while we go to commercial.

Intercontinental Championship #1 Contenders Match

With the referee reaching the finale of his dreaded ten count, he signals the bell to be rung, ending this match in a double count out. Breeze, who had begun his sprint back to the ring after hearing his nine count, stops dead in his tracks, the annoyed expression of realization that his second attempt at Championship Gold was thwarted but a mere goat is etched all over his gorgeous face, but the question remains: With both men being counted out, who is the number one contender to Matt Sydal's Intercontinental Championship? Breeze runs a hand through his perfect locks before he turns his attention to the slowly rising culprit, the Goat Faced thorn at his side, the man he thought he was done with after Breakthrough in Daniel Bryan. In one swift motion, he charges to the now standing Bryan and places a hand on his shoulder while the other one wraps around his trunks, using as much of his strength as he can muster to send his adversary into the steel railing a few feet from them, the sound of flesh meeting steel creating a beautifully destructive symphony to resonate throughout the immediate area.

Boos rain down upon the Gorgeous Superstar but he isn't concerned with the opinions of those lesser than him, all he wanted to do was show the world that he was Bryan's superior and instead, here we are. Breeze, beginning to close the distance between them, steps on a stray Kendo Stick, looking down at the object that would dare attempt to stop his assault before an idea hatches in his pretty little brain: Why not use this to his advantage? He does just that, reaching down and wrapping his hand around the base, lifting it up to his level and begins to measure a slowly rising Daniel Bryan up. He lines up his shot gorgeously before winding back and swinging forward, causing a imprint of the weapon to begin subtly pulsing across Bryan's exposed back when it collides with the unprotected flesh. Not satisfied with a single strike, Breeze repeats the gesture a second time, then a third, even a fourth time before he tosses a mangled Kendo Stick aside like he would last years fashion lines.

With Bryan momentarily incapacitated, Breeze look around his surrounding for another weapon to brutalize the Goat Faced Hero with, ultimately making his decision a classic: A Steel Chair. Breeze pulls the chair away from its resting place and wraps his arm around one of the legs, making his way back to the slowly rising Daniel Bryan with the chair in question in tow. Placing a second hand on the other set of legs, Breeze lifts the chair high above his head as a kneeling Daniel Bryan looks up towards his proverbial executioner, motioning for him to do his worst, almost begging for Breeze to do this to him. Breeze instead takes a step back and readjusts the chair's location from over his head to over his left shoulder but instead of swinging the chair towards the downed Goat, Breeze throws his foot to Bryan's face, connecting an unsuspecting Superkick that causes Bryan to go back first into the steel railing behind him.

Not being satisfied with that audible, Breeze opens up the chair and takes a hold of Bryan's hair, less than carefully wrapping the steel chair around his head before pulling him up to his feet, his newest accessory on display for all to see. Breeze takes a hold of the chair, ensuring that it'll stay the course, and places a hand on Bryan's back before shoving him into the nearby crate chair first, a gruesome sight following shortly after that leaves Bryan laying at the base of the crate with a now mangled steel chair wrapped around his neck and head. Breeze, with a job well done in his mind, opts to leave the scene and begins making his way towards the ring, hopping over the barricade with beautiful ease and taking a microphone for good measure before he rolls into the ring. Prince Pretty takes a second to delicately comb his hair back into place with his fingers, allowing himself to catch his breath before speaking.

Tyler Breeze
That, my good not-so-beloved common people, is EXACTLY what happens to a misshapen MULE who doesn't know their place!... You had the utmost audacity to sneak your unforgivably hideous face into my highly exclusive runway debut and attack me, COMPLETELY unprovoked, in front of NAOMI CAMPBELL! Do you have any idea who that even IS?!... Highly unlikely, I doubt you have Vogue in whatever filthy hole you emerged from.

Breeze begins to pace back and forth in the ring, one hand firmly on his hip while he keeps his attention in the direction of the corpse (for all intensive purposes) of Daniel Bryan.

Tyler Breeze
I have had enough of you lurking around in my shadow and haunting my novel-worthy career like some clingy and unattractive ghost! I've played nice, I've humored your little dream of being a star, and I've let you ride along on my coattails down the road to Final Stand, but that all ceases to continue RIGHT NOW... I'm taking my rightful place in that Intercontinental Championship match whether you like it or not you stingy little cretin, and unless you want to eat your lackluster vegan meals through a STRAW for the rest of your unsightly days, then perhaps this will finally teach you to KEEP your NOSE out of PRETTY, PEOPLE'S, BUSINESS!...

The King of Cuteville slams his mic down over the top rope and out at ringside, making a loud and unavoidable pop as it collides with the lightly padded floor. The crowd rain down on Breeze with boos, but the Definition of Delish could quite possibly not care any less by the looks of it. He rolls out under the bottom rope and the camera fades out as he retreats up the ramp between the crowd screaming shame at him from both sides.

XWL Anarchy continues as cameras go to the backstage area where we see a Charlie Caruso with a mic in hand standing next to Brian Pillman Jr. in front of a XWL Anarchy glowing sign.


Charlie
Please welcome my guest at this moment, Flyin Brian Pillman Jr.

Brian Pillman Jr has a smile on his face as he is happy to be here.

BPJ
Thanks for having me!

Charlie
Last week you were scheduled to have a match against 8 time XWL World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho.  Unfortunately you weren't able to make it last week. Would you like to comment on that.

BPJ
Absolutely. First off I wasn't at XWL Anarchy last week because of transportation issues.  I would of gladly whooped Chris Jericho's ass up and down that ring.  But you know who goes against him this week.  Eli Drake.

Charlie
You teamed up with Eli 2 weeks ago against Braun and Bray.  What were your thoughts on that match?

BPJ
Eli is a great partner. Bray caught me off guard and I wasn't able to be there for Eli, my partner.  There is a lot for to learn from someone like Eli, and that match made me realize I need to be more aware of my environment and surroundings.

Brian turns his head to the right past Charlie as he sees someone off camera and rushes over to them.

BPJ
Hey just the guy I was talking about!

Cameras move from Charlie to where Brian Pillman Jr went to reveal none other than Brian talking to Eli Drake.

["The Elite Superstar of XWL" Eli Drake]
Oh uhhh... Hey Brian. I couldn't help, but over hear your conversation with Charlie. I believe you are right. You need to be more aware more of your environment and surroundings. I don't mean that to come off in a mean way kid. This is a pro looking out for someone who is fresh in the business, because if you don't.. You are gonna see a lot of losses in your future. I don't wanna sugar coat anything so you know this is what you are going to get yourself into, but I am into giving people second chances so how about this Brian. Let's give ya one more shot kid. Now with this information that has been shared upon you. Let's try to tag again this week, and see what happens. Will you learn from your mistakes or reality come biting you in the ass? I guess we will just have to see... Now if you excuse me Brian.. I gotta go get ready for my match.

Eli leaves leaving Brian speechless.

Fog fills the stage as as the scream echoes through the arena. After a few brief moments pass The Undertaker walks out onto the stage, and fire bursts into the air.



[Mauro Ranallo]
There he is ladies, and gentlemen! One of the most recognizable wrestlers of all time! The Undertaker!

[Corey Graves]
But as of late.. He has been doing something well... out of the ordinary.

[Renee Young]
Yeah that is defiantly true Corey. As of late it seems that he is under the control of Rosemary as she has somehow obtained the urn of Paul Bearer.

[Corey Graves]
She claims that it was given to her as a gift as she is The Queen of Hell.

It is on that note Rosemary walks out from behind the curtain with a slight smirk on her face. She feels on top of the world with The Undertaker at her side. As the two make it down the ramp and into the ring, She raises a microphone up to her mouth. However at the moment she does, The Undertaker turns towards Rosemary. She doesn't begin to talk yet as she watches The Undertaker wondering what he is thinking. He opens his trench coat, and pulls out a microphone of his own. Rosemary smiles, and grows excited by the second as her monster wishes to speak. Rosemary then motions for Undertaker to start speaking first.



The Undertaker
For nearly three decades I have been the gatekeeper of what is my domain here in the squared circle. I have faced demons from hell and your facaded “hero’s” alike, their differences are inconsequential, for each of them have stood toe to toe with the reaper, and each of them have fallen by my hand. For nearly three decades I have been the criterion for which men are tested for their worth. Here in this realm, for the eternity of time, my word has, is, and will always be law. Ultimately and surely this is MY domain, and I am judge, jury, and executioner.

The Undertaker pauses a moment as the fans begin to cheer. Rosemary begins to chuckle as she watches on.

The Undertaker
As time has passed since my absence I have seen countless false idols attempt to set their history in stone. Time and time again mere mortal men have tried to iconalize  themselves, yet just as fate would allow, each time they triumph, they know that sooner or later Dame Fortune will come knocking, and she will take back what is rightfully hers. She will take back what is rightfully mine. She doesn’t care if she has to go through XWL’s “Knight in Golden Armor”.....

The crowd wonders if this means The Undertaker has his eyes on Matt Sydal and the Intercontinental Championship.

The Undertaker
She doesn’t care if it’s an undemonstrated progeny.....

Does this mean the deadman will be going after Andrade Alma’s and the XWL TV Championship?

The Undertaker
And she certainly doesn’t care if it’s a poacher in sheep’s clothing.....

Is the deadman ready to take Aiden English’s World Heavyweight Championship?!



The Undertaker
However as of late, she has hey eyes set on something new. Something never before attained. Something that would again prove my eminence. Something that I feel has not truly been earned. For she and I feel the two mortal men who now hold onto said prize, are unworthy, Unproven, and undeserving. That they have not had a true test to crown a rightful titleholder.

The Undertaker
After seven months the Tag Team Championships will be truly won over a war. Sweat will fall. Blood will be spilt. Body’s put through true tests. And after it is all said and done, two men will stand Tall through the dust and rubble that is left. After seven months I will finally take claim to the Tag Team Championships. After seven months all will fade.....

The Undertaker turns to the stage as he finishes his statement.

The Undertaker
TO BLACK!

As smokes begins billowing forth from the stage, Aleister Black rises through the smoke to the boos of the fans.

[Mauro Ranallo]
This man over the last few weeks has told the XWL Universe how they were wrong. How they should follow him or watch as the XWL is destroyed. And now, here he is with one of the most powerful forces in XWL history.

[Corey Graves]
You are not wrong Mauro, the scary part is the cold calculated attack of Black combined with the sheer power of the Undertaker. Would anyone be able to stop them?

As Black hits the ring, he vaults over the top rope, coming to stand next to The Undertake standing face to face, as both men turn to face the hard camera as Undertaker hands the microphone to Black.

Aleister Black
The ignorant masses stand in shock as the force of their destruction is presented before them. I warned you all long ago. A reckoning was coming to the XWL and that it would burn the non believers to the core. You laughed. You mocked. And you cheered on as the false prophet Wyatt and his very own Goliath, Braun, left be broken and destroyed in the ring.

At the mention of the beatdown, the crowd cheers as they recall the humiliation of Black. Aleister simply smiles as he raises the microphone back to his mouth.

Aleister Black
Silence. You cheer, you clap, you pretend. You see, what the false prophet did that night was cement my view. He made it clear, that the end of what was, is near. And that at that time, the power of destruction shall make itself known. And so we have.



In the middle of Aleister speaking, he is cut off by the theme song of none other than the men who have attempted to assault him these last two weeks, Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman. As Bray Wyatt walks out, lantern in hand, Strowman following, there’s many questions on the mind of the XWL Universe, and probably even Aleister Black. Why have they been attacking Black? How will they respond to Aleister’s claims that they are “false prophets”? As they make their their way down the entrance ramp, it becomes clear they intend to answer, as Wyatt can now be seen with microphone in hand. Wyatt blows out the lantern halfway down the entrance ramp, causing the lights to turn back on, and he prepares to speak.

[Bray Wyatt]
Where there is weakness, there is a need for it to be extinguished. And Aleister, that’s what you are. That’s what you have. Weakness. At Breakthrough, when you attacked Finn Balor, at first I felt power from you. The spirit within me had decided that you were a force on the right path here in XWL. But as you left, you threw it all away. Maybe it was fear, maybe you don’t hunger enough. But Aleister, that nod you gave me was the beginning of the end for you. Because when the Celestial One saw that, oh no, they did not take kindly to that. They saw your weakness, and you became a target to be decimated. And so I set out to do so. But I sensed something. There was an aura around you. As if there would be more to taking you down than just, well, taking you down. I could feel a stronger spirit lurking beside you, so I enlisted the help of the key, Braun Strowman.

Wyatt looks over at the monster among men, standing beside him. The two men look at each other in unison and nod, as Wyatt hands over the microphone to Strowman.

(BRAUN STROWMAN)
“Once XWL was the home to only the best. Once this company held only the finest - that greatest of us all. The flock had flourished, truly we were all blessed to have so many within the field that is XWL - but as with all things - too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. XWL is rotting now. It is like an apple that has been left out - it was falling to pieces and no one wishes to do anything about it. Weakness has and always will be something that utterly disgusts me. I cannot stand the sight of it. I cannot allow it to be within my line of sight. XWL has become weak - it has allowed the flock to lose it’s purpose and it’s corse. Look around you and you will see for yourself. The weak have taken hold and call this place home and so many turn a blind eye that it sickens me. They call us insane - they call us evil for the things we have done - but cannot they not see that we are the hands that most guide the flock back to what it once was. For XWL to become pure - sacrifices must be made and it was for this reason I stand with Bray Wyatt - why I stand here now before you.

He would hold onto the microphone tightly in his massive hand, to the point where it was almost breaking within his palm from the power he held alone as he looked back at Bray Wyatt and nodded.

[Bray Wyatt]
You claim that we are false prophets, but the only one false prophet here is the one standing beside you. The so-called “Queen of Hell” and the Deadman. They preach themselves as the saving force of XWL, when the only true salvation will be given by the cleansing force of the Celestial. The Celestial’s path is the true way to salvation. To redemption. For XWL to survive, the Celestial needs to achieve their goal, and we need to find them. But as long as you stand in the way of our path, we will show no mercy in unleashing both the power of the Celestial, and the power of the Demon.

The monster among men would step forward, one foot raised and then brought down with such power that the entire ring would shake.

(BRAUN STROWMAN)
“If you are not wish us - then you are against us. Those who stand in our way, those who block the path - those who question us and doubt us - there will be no mercy. All we have done - we have done for the greater good,. CAN YOU NOT SEE! Of course not - you are blind - foolish and UNWILLING to ever change. Take Bray Wyatt warning for it will only be uttered once and no more. If you think this is a game - then you are wrong. WE SERVE A HIGHER POWER and we will not be stopped. Move aside and let us do what needs to be done. STAND IN OUR WAY - and you will fall like all the others.”

Aleister, and Undertaker steps aside as Rosemary steps forward laughing to herself as she raises the mic up to her lips.

[Rosemary]
We apologize for our laughter, but your belief in a high power is quite laughable, because thus far we have seen no proof of your "high power". What you talk about is like all these other meat sacks "gods". Is there any proof of them that they can provide? NO! All they have is a damn book! While I The Queen of Hell as you can see I prove my power as I have The Undertaker, and now Aleister Black under my control. Two of XWL's most powerful superstars. With that being said you two started a war that you cannot win. It will end exactly with us three standing above above you two, and then maybe you'll see your higher power has nothing on The Queen of Hell or you may remain blind like all of these people to their gods, but either way you will not turn a blind eye to loss. I want you to remember both of you...

Rosemary looks to The Undertaker, and Then to Aleister Black then turns her head, back towards the ring focusing on Bray, and Braun.

[Rosemary]
That you asked for all of this. Welcome to your reckoning.

[/b]And with these final words, rosemary begins laughing, however Bray does aswell. This continues until the screen fades to black for a commercial break.[/b]

Anarchy returns from a commercial break and our attention is immediately taken to the stage where we see Charly Caruso standing in the center of it with a mic in hand, to her left stand the XWL World Tag Team Champions, Chris Sabin and Chad Gable, to her right stand Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega. The camera then zooms out and pans around the arena where we're able to notice that the entire ramp and ringside area has transformed into what appears to be some sort of obstacle course. The camera focuses back in on the stage and specifically on Charly who's prepared to address the XWL Universe.

(Charly Caruso)
Ladies and gentleman at this time, I would like to announce a directive from tonight's guest general manager Paul Heyman, the directive states that the 2 teams who will clash for the World Tag Team Championships at Final Stand, Golden Lovers and TCSI, are to compete here tonight, not in a traditional wrestling match, but in a series of challenges instead with a valuable prize at stake. There will be a total of 3 challenges, if either team wins the 1st 2 challenges then we will not go to a 3rd. 1st up will be the obstacle course which you can see on display at ringside, each superstar will run the obstacle course, the superstar who finishes the course in the quickest amount of time wins that challenge for his respective team.

This whole concept seems to excite the XWL Universe judging by their reaction to it, the two teams stretch and pace around in place whilst side eyeing each other.


(Charly Caruso)
The 2nd challenge will be a pull up bar challenge where each superstar will have 1 minute to secure as pull ups as possible, at the end of all 4 superstar's reps their totals will be tallied and the team with the most combined reps will win that challenge.

From the get go Ibsuhi and Omega are the clear favorites for the pull up challenge as they're absolutely shredded and in peak condition. Gable and Sabin are sure to be facing an uphill battle in that one.

(Charly Caruso)
If the 1st 2 challenges are not swept by 1 team, we will go into the 3rd and final challenge which will be a relay race. One member from each team will start the race at the same time whilst the other waits here at the finish line where the stage meets the ramp. The superstars who start will run the obstacle course once again, upon reaching the finish line the superstars will then pass their batons off to their partners who will then proceed to run the entire course as well, the 1st superstar to cross the finish line at that point will win the challenge for their team and earn the ultimate prize, THEY will become the guest general managers of Anarchy next week!

Talk about a valuable prize, if some people thought this segment was about to be some sort of lighthearted almost comical occasion, they're certainly rethinking those thoughts now as the team who becomes GM's next week will essentially hold the whole world in their hands so to speak, and with Final Stand less than a month away, a position like that could have major implications on things going forward.

(Charly Caruso)
Without further ado, let's get things started with the 1st challenge, the obstacle course!

While The Trash City Stupid Idiots are partaking in a classic game of rock paper scissors to decide who goes fir- and Gable wins with relative ease, Omega steps up to the proverbial plate, finishing off the last remnants of a banana, the only remaining evidence is the peel itself. He tosses it aside, like the litterer he is, and positions himself on the starting line. A moment of anticipation fills the arena before the sound of a buzzer goes off, signaling the start of this obstacle course and the arrival of a timer on the bottom left hand corner of the screen. Omega, not wasting a single second, sprints down the entrance ramp, reaching the bottom in an impressive three seconds.

He manages to slow himself down to stop from colliding with the apron and turns the corner, stepping onto a box with a narrow plank of wood connecting it to the second further down the section. His masterful balance allows him to surpass this obstacle with relative ease, the time now at seven seconds. The second turn puts him face to face with a rather large rectangular shaped menace covered with a mesh over the top. Omega looks at this, unsure of how to maneuver it, does he go over it like the previous obstacle, perhaps around it? Maybe he... the realization sets in as he drops down to his stomach and begins crawling under it, wasting valuable seconds in his contemplation, seconds that he seemingly makes up when he reaches the other side in record time, as far as this specific obstacle course is concerned, seeing as he's the first participant, everything he does is technically record setting.

Now at fifteen seconds, Omega reaches the third obstacle in his way: The dreaded monkey bars. Omega spits into his hands and rubs them together vigorously before climbing onto the box and placing his hands onto the first of many bars. Careful yet swift, Omega quickly finds a rhythm and swings from bar to bar without a care in the world, reminiscing about the banana he devoured prior to the start of his run for whatever reason. Upon reaching the final few bars, Omega swings to the awaiting box on the opposite end, planting his feet perfectly before extending his arms outwards, proud of the landing. A fan in the front row raises a “10” sign, causing Omega to take a bow at his performance. His attention shifts towards the Titantron as the seconds shift from twenty four to twenty five, causing him to return to reality and hop of the box, using all his strength and speed on the final stretch and charges up the ramp. Omega crosses the finish line, nearly charging into the LED boards on the stage with the amount of momentum he had behind him, ending the course in an impressive twenty nine seconds.

(Charly Caruso)
Kenny Omega's official time is coming in at 29 seconds, 29 seconds is now the time to beat.

Sabin is now the one to step up with Gable in tow, standing behind him while rubbing his shoulders and mouthing, “Visualize the win.” He simply nods his head as an unseen before focus fills Sabin's face, the determination and desire to win beginning to go off the chart. Not used to this level of focus, the buzzer goes off, momentarily startling half of the Tag Team Champions, causing him to start a second later than intended, sprinting down the ramp in an attempt to make up that lost second. Four seconds tick onto the clock before Sabin reaches the bottom of the ramp, quickly turning the corner and leaping onto the box in one swift motion. Trusting his balance, Sabin sprints over the narrow wood path and upon reaching the second box, hops into the air to save some valuable seconds. After nearly causing a collision with the corner barricade, the time is at seven seconds. He steps up to the next obstacle and using Omega's experience against him, quickly drops down to his stomach and begins to crawl his way through the low elevation rectangular box standing between him and the monkey bars.

Now at twelve seconds, Sabin stands on the box that leads to the monkey bars. He extends his hand onto the first one and maneuvers it left and right, as if he's trying to find a safe spot to start his swinging adventure. Unsure if his current position is the best course of action, he moves his free hand to the second bar, yielding the same result. Sabin pulls both his hands away from the bars as he shakes his head and wipes his hands over his pants in an attempt to remove the apparent sweat from them. He lets out a deep breath and places his hands on the opposite ends of the first few bars before transitioning towards the middle when he makes it further into the obstacle. His temporary adventure comes to an end when the clock reaches twenty two when he lands on the second box, leaping off of it and turning the final corner before making a beeline towards the finish line.

Twenty four is now the time on the clock as Sabin is on the final stretch. With the end now in sight, time slows down showing Sabin's flawless running form, a confident expression etched on his face, the XWL Universe on either side of him cheering on and his best friend with his arms above his head, knowing full well that Omega's time is about to be broken. Life as Sabin is good as twenty six ticks onto the Titantron, but the remaining three seconds are nothing but a formality at this point, seeing as there's nothing that could possibly bring a halt to this. Twenty seven now takes its place on the clock, Sabin, mere feet from the finish line, lifts his arms into the air in victory but before he's able to cross the finish line, he quickly goes from a vertical base to a horizontal one, the look on his face transitioning to one of confidence to an over dramatic one as his body connects with the ramp just inches short of running past the finish line. The culprit is revealed when Sabin looks behind him from his downed position: A lone banana peel sitting there, almost taunting him. The look of heartbreak appears on Sabin's face as Gable helps him up to his feet, unsure of who the monster that left such a dangerous item out in the wild was.

(Charly Caruso)
Sadly, I have no choice but to disqualify Chris Sabin's run of the obstalce course, the rules of the course dictate that outside of the mesh menace obstacle, the superstars must maintain a vertical base at all times until they've crossed the finish line and Mr. Sabin was unable to do that.

With the shocking disqualification news being handed out by Charly right there, the fate of this challenge will now rest on Chad Gable's shoulders, he however will have to wait his turn because up next, it's the Golden Star Kota Ibushi's turn to run the course. Ibushi jumps in place as Omega pats him on his chest and shoulders to fire him up for the run ahead, he whispers into Ibushi's ear what one could imagine being a few tips and tricks for the course having just run it himself moments ago. Ibushi nods his head and gives Kenny a thumbs up to signal that he's ready to go. Ibushi takes his place at the starting line and positions his body in the best stance he can to give himself the best chance at maximum acceleration as soon as the buzzer sounds, within moments, the buzzer does indeed sounds and Ibushi's off to the races. His preparation and special launch stance has paid off as he makes it down the ramp quicker than everyone so far with about 2.5 seconds taken off the clock.

Ibushi turns the corner on a dime and uses all of his forward momentum along with supreme balance and direction to leap onto the 1st box and charge across the wooden beam with exceptional speed and technique that's putting this run on pace to SHATTER Omega's recently set "record" if you will, the crowd is in awe as Ibushi uses an incredible technique to keep his speed and momentum alive going into turn 2, upon reaching the end of the 2nd box he does a forward roll off the box and WHILST IN MID AIR turns himself at just the perfect angle to end up on the ground, prone, and in prime position to crawl through this mesh menace with absolute ease. Ibushi for all of his exceptional techniques was still slowed down by that turn 2 and the subsequent crawl to follow it, he still is on "record" pace however as the clock is at 11 seconds.

Ibushi now stands at the top of the box that leads to the monkey bars with the clock at 13 seconds, he wastes no time in attempting to try find the perfect position to get the form absolutely right, he leaps into the air and grabs a hold of the 1st bar with his left hand before immediately swinging forward and gripping the 2nd bar, this attempt to sacrifice carefulness and calculation for speed and momentum proves costly for Ibushi as he losses his grip on the 2nd bar instantly upon swinging forward sending him crashing down hard much to the shock of the XWL universe AND Kenny Omega, for some reason though, Sabin and Gable seem to have a slick smile on their face as they share a fist bump. The buzzer sounds as Ibushi is left baffled and the camera's mic manages to pick up Ibushi saying (Nani ga sekai ni!) Ibushi slams the floor padding with his fist in frustration as Omega calls out TCSI for "SABOTAGE", as Omega and TCSI bicker Charly makes the unfortunate announcement for Golden Lovers fans.

(Charly Caruso)
Unfortunately I am forced to hand out the 2nd disqualification of this challenge, Kota Ibushi's fall off of the monkey bars is an automatic disqualification.

Ibushi makes it back to the stage in frustration and just shakes his head in disgust of the whole situation, he knows he HAD IT, he had this challenge in the bag until seemingly some sabotage from Sabin got the better of him. Nonetheless the show must go on as they say and it's time for the final man to run the course, Chad Gable. Sabin approaches him before his run and the two men share a high five whilst displaying another set of confident smiles across their faces, following the high five Gable takes his place at the starting line and rubs his hands together to get some pre run nerves out of the way perhaps? maybe he doesn't wanna ends up like Ibushi? Those questions may never be answered because the buzzer has sounded and it's up to Gable to try and beat Omega's time. He makes it down the ramp within 3 seconds putting him off to a good start early on, he hops onto the box and gets across the beam and onto the 2nd box with little to no problems with the clock at 8 seconds.

There's no flashy Ibushi forward roll here for Gable, as he keeps a quick pace but opts for a simpler and less risky approach of just jumping down from the box and darting around the corner, he drops down quickly and crawls under the mesh menace with no problems, being a former Olympic wrestler, Gable is no stranger to being down on the ground and crawling around so this particular obstacle is practically 2nd nature for him and he takes it down with no struggle whatsoever. Gable reaches the monkey bars with the clock at 12 seconds, 3 seconds quicker than Omega did during his run, the struggle at the mesh menace is what's caused this 3 second advantage for Gable as he knew exactly what to do when confronting that obstacle where as Omega was albeit briefly, taken by surprise by it in that moment. Gable quickly rubs his hands together once again and leaps up onto the 1st bar, what happens next shock the XWL universe, on the 2nd bar, the same spot where Ibushi lost his grip and wiped out, Gable glides onto it with ease and perfect grip and instantly goes right past it and onto the next bar, and the next, and the next, all the way until he's completed the last bar, he leaps down and sprints up the ramp BUT THEN HE STOPS DEAD IN HIS TRACKS!!! He quickly scans the ramp for any stray banana peels before wagging his finger (NOT ON MY WATCH YOU CHEATS!), theatrical or serious, this step is costing Gable seconds upon seconds, Sabin shouts at him to kick him into gear and on that note he dashes across the line causing the buzzer to sound, the fans in attendance gaze up to the titantron and the fans at home prepare themselves to see Gable's final time as the camera pans up towards it, the tron reads 27.5 seconds as the final time, which means, TCSI has won the obstacle course challenge. Before an official announcement is made by Charly, TCSI take it upon themselves to celebrate with an over the top hug as Gable jumps into Sabin's arms, Sabin hoists Gable up into the air and Gable waves to all of the TCSI fans in attendance, this draws out a large shock from the XWL universe as a black substance, almost charcoal like can be seen all over Gable's hands, the look on TCSI's face as they realize what's happening is one of absolute shock horror, Gable immediately places his hands in his singlet as the one person not aware of what's going on? is the one person who COULD and SHOULD rectify this, Charly Caruso.

(Charly Caruso)
Ladies and gentleman, the superstar who posted the best time during the obstacle course challenge was Chad Gable and his time of 27.5 seconds, therefore the winners of the obstacle course challenge, TCSI!!!

TCSI fans? they're absolutely thrilled that by hook or by crook? their boys wound up victorious in this challenge, Golden Lovers fans on the other hand? let's just say they're far from thrilled with the result and they're letting TCSI and Charly Caruso know all about it with their deafening boos.

(Charly Caruso)
Next up, challenge #2, the pull up challenge. Each superstar will step up to the pull up bar and have 1 minute to execute as many reps as possible, if both hands leave the bar at any time, that superstar is disqualified, to get credit for a rep the superstar's entire head must clear the bar, the team with the most combined reps at the end of the challenge wins it, if TCSI wins this challenge? they win the overall challenge and become the guest general managers of Anarchy next week, if Golden Lovers win this challenge? then we will go into the winner take all relay race challenge, without further ado let's get right into it, as TCSI won the last challenge, they have the choice of going 1st in the challenge or having the advantage of one of them going last and knowing exactly how many reps would be needed to win the challenge, what will it be gentlemen?

TCSI huddle their heads together quickly and contemplate what would be the best move for them, go 1st and attempt to get a massive head start and put the Golden Lovers under some serious pressure? or lock up the last spot and have the advantage of knowing just how many reps they would need to win the challenge, the disadvantage of that would be if Golden Lovers are the ones to get a massive lead and then it would be TCSI on the back foot, there's pros and cons that can be made for both choices but TCSI is out of time to ponder them, they need to make their choice here and now, Sabin breaks the huddle and communicates to Charly that TCSI will go 1st and that Sabin himself will lead off for TCSI.

(Charly Caruso)
TCSI has elected to go 1st, Chris Sabin will be the 1st man to step up to the bar, timekeeper, please set the tron clock at 1 minute, once Chris is in position the buzzer will sound and the timer will begin.

Gable pumps up his partner one more time before Sabin heads over to the pull up bar positioned right in the center of the stage. He jumps in place with an intense and determined look in his eyes, he slaps his face lightly multiple times to motivate himself even more, all of a sudden a loud BBBBBAAAAAHHHHHH comes over the intercoms signalling the start of the timer. Sabin, beaming with intensity and confidence leaps up and grips the bar, but that's when things go shockingly wrong for Sabin, it appears as though he's trying to pull his body weight up and over that bar but absolutely nothing is happening. Sabin's confident facial expressions are wiped away in seconds and replaced with a an "uh oh" style frantic look on his face, he struggles with the bar and is trying to pull himself up with all of his might but the only thing that is happening is the sweat dripping down his face getting more and more profuse as the seconds tick away. We're now at 25 seconds and Sabin still hasn't managed to get one rep in let alone make any progress whatsoever, the TCSI fans begin to rally behind Sabin as they chant "SABIN...SABIN...SABIN!!!" It's becoming abundantly clear that Sabin can't hold out much longer, he's beginning to lose his strength in his arms as his muscles begin to cramp, at the 32 second mark one of his hands comes off the bar completely and dangles in the air, Sabin makes a last push at the 40 second mark by placing the free hand back onto the bar and gives it everything he has, he's able to gain just the smallest amount of lift this time before his arms finally give out causing him to fall helplessly down onto the stage rear end 1st.

(Charly Caruso)
As a result of Chris Sabin's fall, he is indeed disqualified.

TCSI's gamble of going 1st in this challenge has absolutely backfired, we all knew Sabin was the one least conditioned for this type of challenge, but to not even record a single rep? that's the shocking part and it may have doomed TCSI's hopes of sweeping the 1st 2 challenges and locking up their GM spot next week in quick fashion.

The 2nd man up to the bar is Kenny Omega, him and Ibushi have to be feeling good about what they've just witnessed and now they're in a commanding spot to potentially wrap up this challenge if Omega is able to claim a mountain's worth of reps here. Ibushi hands Omega a water bottle to ensure that he's properly hydrated before the timer starts, Omega takes a small swig of the water and dumps the rest over his head before handing the bottle back to Ibushi and giving the thumbs up that he's ready for the timer. The buzzer sounds and Omega is quick to the jump, he grips the bar and pulls himself over straight away for the his 1st rep and the 1st rep of the challenge overall. Omega lowers himself beneath the bar and waits 3 seconds before pulling himself over the bar once again to secure his 2nd rep, the clock now stands at 8 seconds and Omega has snagged 2 reps already, he's careful not to go to quickly and risk cramping up or burning himself out early on, he's aiming for a pace of 1 rep every 5 seconds or so and is right on pace to do that and then some right now. Omega bangs out rep after rep and before we know it he's at 7 reps with 48 seconds left on the clock, Ibushi is off to the side rallying his partner to make one last push as the timer ticks down, Omega does exactly that and goes all out for the finish when the buzzer finally sounds signalling an end to Omega's session on the bar.

(Charly Caruso)
Kenny Omega's final score on the pull up bar is 9 reps.

Fresh off that stunning but grueling performance Omega slaps Ibushi's hand and the two share a quick bro hug before moving off to the side as it's Chad Gable's turn at the bar, if he doesn't get at least 9 reps? TCSI will lose the challenge, and even if he does get 9? he would have to hope that the physical specimen that is Kota Ibushi would somehow not manage even 1 pull up, it's a monstrous mountain to climb but if there's anyone who is capable of succeeding at this challenge, it's the former Olympic wrestler himself. Sabin sits on the side of the stage with an ice pack on each shoulder as he gives Gable a good luck thumbs up, Gable walks over to the bar with confidence, he points at Omega and Ibushi "WATCH THIS!" he utters as he takes his position under the bar, he signals that he's ready and within moments the buzzer sounds.

Gable goes full blast right out of the gate banging out rep after rep at a rapid pace 35 seconds in and he's already at 6 reps, the rapid fire pace is even taking it's toll on a world class athlete like him and the big thing fueling him right now? this crowd as they chant "GABLE...GABLE...GABLE!!!", at 45 seconds he's managed to bang out 2 more reps and his total stand at 8 reps, only 1 behind Omega's total, but how much does he have left with only 15 seconds to go? He gives it everything he has in these dying moments knowing his team staying alive in this challenge hinges upon him getting 1 more rep at the very least, at the 49 second mark he gets that much needed rep to tie Omega and heroically manages to score another 2 reps on top of that as the buzzer sounds signalling the end of Gable's minute.

(Charly Caruso)
Chad Gable's final score on the pull up bar challenge is 11 reps, which puts TCSI's total at 11 reps as well due to Chris Sabin's disqualification. Kota Ibushi only needs 3 reps to win the pull ups challenge for the Golden Lovers and push us to the deciding relay race challenge, if he only manages 2 reps then we will go to a sudden death tiebreaker round, anything less than 2 and TCSI are declared the winners of the pull ups challenge and overall set of challenges and will be the guest GM's of Anarchy next week.

With the stakes all laid out on the table, Ibushi gets a pat on the shoulders from Omega who utters to his face "you got this", Ibushi takes those words on board and steps up to the bar, he throws out the thumbs up showing the world that he's good to go and within moments the buzzer sounds and the timer has begun. Within 3 seconds Ibushi has his 1st rep, 3 more seconds tick by before he has the 2nd rep logged, and just like that, the buzzer has sounded at 10 seconds on the dot as Ibushi has lifted his head over the bar  for the 3rd and decisive rep. Ibushi hops down and shares a big high five with Omega as TCSI look on in frustration.

(Charly Caruso)
The buzzer has sounded 10 seconds into Kota Ibushi's stint at the pull up bar as he has managed to record the 3 pull ups needed, bringing the final tally to TCSI-11-Golden Lovers-12 to give the Golden Lovers the win in the pull ups challenge and to send us into the 3rd and final challenge which will be the relay race. Superstars, you have a 30 second break to hydrate yourselves, upon those 30 seconds expiring, please take your positions at the top of the ramp.  

The two teams both line up at the top of the ramp, eyes glued in front of them. We see Chris Sabin stretching out as Gable is hyping him up. Opposite, we have Omega doing the same as Sabin. An official steps up, making sure both men are prepared for what is to come in this foot race. He moves in between them as both men hold batons to signify that they are the current runner. Once they take their ready stances, the official calls for the bell to be rung. Doing so sets the duo off. Omega taking the lead as they dart down the ramp. Omega rounds the side of the ring and steps up onto the box as he did earlier. As soon as he does, Sabin collides with him, sending him off the box and to the side of it. Sabin steps one foot on the board and leaps the rest of the way, taking the lead.

Sabin rounds the next post almost into a baseball slide under the crawl portion. It puts him in a poor position to maneuver through as he begins to crawl on his back. Omega however dives head first under it, making his way right through in almost a darting motion. He grins back at Sabin who is cursing under his breath as he attempts to make it to the end of the crawl. This puts Omega around the next turn. Omega leaps onto the monkey bars, knowing they are coming. This is hard due to the baton in his hand but he manages to navigate them rather well. Sabin comes out the crawl, doing the same as Kenny and leaping onto them. Omega breaks free of the bars and darts up the ramp, followed by Sabin who is trailing behind.

Ibushi breaks from the gates with the baton in hand, followed by Gable who takes the hand off and attempts to make up time for his team. Ibushi rounds the first corner, clearing the tight rope act easily with Gable right on his heels. The two dive under the mesh crawl, one after another. Gable slows during this, causing Ibushi to take the lead. He makes it through the crawl with relative ease, rounding the corner and looking to take on the monkey bars. He wipes his hands on his legs, trying to relieve some of the sweat from them before jumping on the bars. Gable hits his feet, rounding the corner and placing the baton in his mouth.

What follows is something out of American Ninja Warrior as Gable freakishly leaps from bar to bar, missing one in between each time, placing him directly behind Ibushi. The two break out into a mad sprint, trying to reach the top of the ramp first. It appears to be a close race as their teammates yell at them from the top of the ramp. Ibushi and Gable start up it, and come barreling across the finish line at what seems to be the same exact time.

(Charly Caruso)
It looks like it was really close! Can we get a slow motion replay!?

As asked, the titantron turns on with the crowd roaring in anticipation. It shows the side view of the ramp, seeing Ibushi and Gable coming in. At the final second, Ibushi's foot comes across the finish line, the members of Golden Lovers burting with excitement. TCSI looks devastated, Sabin talking to Chad, trying to pick up his spirits as Charley steps over to Kota and Omega.

(Charly Caruso)
Well thank you very much guys and congratulations! May I please have back the batons for which we used in this event?

Gable steps up and pulls the baton from his mouth which oddly had stayed there for the remainder of the event. Charley then looks to Ibushi who looks down, not able to find his. The crowd near the ringside area begins to roar as an official found down near the ring can be seen holding the baton above his head. During the turn to get to the monkey bars, Ibushi had went to wipe off his hands and doing so, letting go of the baton and not even realizing it in the heat of the moment. Charley looks a bit confused and begins to talk with a few officials that step up to her, Golden Lovers talking amongst themselves. Charley then turns and raises her mic.

(Charly Caruso)
Since the Golden Lovers failed to return the baton which was a part of the rules to know who was legal in the race as well as the goal, TCSI are now crowned as your winner for not only the challenge, but the event as a whole!

TCSI practically jump out of their shoes as they begin to celebrate. The Golden Lovers seem frustrated at this odd ruling but yet don't argue it as it was the goal. TCSI have been crowned the winner and of course, the general managers for next week's broadcast. They begin to hoop and holler as their theme song begins to play and commentary takes over.

[Corey Graves]
I have a feeling next week is going to be stupid.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Or magical. Depends on how you look at it.

With that, our competition and the segment comes to an end with Sabin and Gable raising their hands, and their titles, on the stage.

[Corey Graves]
What a sequence by Asuka! That has to be the end!

Asuka seems to agrees as she dives on Rosemary for the pin! The ref quickly slides into place.

1!


2!


3- Rosemary manages to kick out!

[Renee Young]
I honestly can't believe Rosemary kicked out of that!

[Mauro Ranallo]
This monster of a woman is made of something else

Asuka looks down astonished that she didn't get the three count. With fury in her eyes she grips Rosemary by her hair and drags her to her foot only to squeal in panic as Rosemary scoops her up on her shoulders! It looks like it's all over for Asuka via a Red Wedding but The Empress manages to shimmy backwards on to Rosemary's back. From that position Asuka locks in The Asuka Lock! Rosemary panics but due to fatigue and the toll of this match falls onto her side where Asuka continues to hold in the Asuka lock!

[Corey Graves]
Is Rosemary going to tap?!

Asuka can be heard yelling tap over and over but Rosemary doesn't! Instead she falls slowly into unconsciousness. The ref checks her and quickly calls for the bell!  





The ref has to basically pry the arms of Asuka from around Rosemary's neck! Once he does Asuka stands tall, her hand held high into the air as the crowd doesn't show her any good will. Asuka doesn't care though and even though she shows the wear and tear the match put on her she manages to smile deviously

[Renee Young]
To her credit, Rosemary didn't tap

[Corey Graves]
But she didn't have to Renee! Becky Lynch, get a look at your future at Final Stand!

Asuka's grinning face sends XWL to a commercial break

Normal Match





Seven minutes into the match...



Nikki Cross looks to the crowd with a wild grin on her face as Becky Lynch struggles to get to her feet. Cross goes to grab Becky, hooking her up for The Purge when suddenly...









Smack-dab in the middle of this contest, the soft and inviting whisper of the name “Mandy” echoes across the arena as the lights all become a warm shade of gold and focus on the stage.

[Mauro Ranallo]
What the hell!? That's Mandy Rose's music! She's not scheduled to be out he--

[Corey Graves]
Shut up Mauro, because God's Greatest Creation can do whatever she wants, whenever she wants! And if she wants to grace us with her presence, that's exactly what she's going to do!

[Renee Young]
You're unbelievable...



Emerging from the curtain is none other than God’s Greatest Creation herself-... wearing a towel?? Yes, upon closer inspection, Mandy appears to be wearing nothing but plush, white towel around her body, barely covering the golden necessities. She also seems to have a mic in one hand, as her opposite remains preoccupied by repeatedly combing through the ends of her hair.




Oh, Nikki..? I seem to have stumbled out of my bath and somehow found my way here, just in time for your match!.. How silly of me, I’m so embarrassed..! But since you’re out here Nikki, a little birdie told me you like to play, is that true?.. I think I might want to play with you, Nikki... You don’t mind playing with little ol’ me, do you?...



With Nikki’s lust-filled eyes beaming in eagerness to play with her dream come to life in Mandy Rose, the Psychotic Scot drops what she’s doing and feverishly nods her head, stomping on the mat and gesturing for the nearly-nude Golden Goddess to come down to the ring right now and “play” with her. What Nikki seems to have let slip her twisted mind amidst this golden opportunity, is her opponent, Becky Lynch. Lynch, completely unphased Mandy’s provocateur and seduction tactics, wastes little to no time pulling herself off of the mat just enough to grab Cross from behind and pull her over into a compromising schoolboy roll up! Nikki squirms and kicks as best she can but the surprise factor seems to have caught her completely off guard!


1...



2..!



... 3!





[Mauro Ranallo]
Mandy Rose has cost Nikki Cross this match! Becky Lynch stole one from XWL's Twisted Sister!



Becky’s theme song strikes up over the PA system as the crowd rises to their feet to voice their appreciation and love for the Irish Lass Kicker. Once the cameras switch back to God’s Greatest Creation in a bath towel, she is seen laughing like a standard high school mean girl. Nikki promptly sits straight up, her eyes in shock and gradually filling with rage and vengeance while they find their way to Mandy Rose who remains standing pretty on the stage. Mandy holds up her index finger, indicating she has but another surprise for the Twisted Sister of XWL. Rose reaches around and grabs the hem of the towel, mere milliseconds away from untucking it and letting it fall to the floor.



Just when Nikki starts to think that not all hope is lost for her sick and perverted fantasy, Mandy rips the towel away and reveals... a body completely covered by her ring gear! The Golden Goddess was covered underneath the white bath towel all along! The entire fiasco was simply a ruse to get back at her pursuer of recent weeks, and a successful one at that.


Oops!...

The Golden Goddess shrugs her shoulders, sarcastically giving the impression that her actions were completely unintentional. Mandy goes as far as to blow a long and slow kiss in the direction of Nikki Cross before “zhuzhing” up her golden blonde locks and strutting off backstage.

Handicap Match










After the destruction, The Miz is left laying alone in middle of the ring. On a brutal receiving of a two on one Handicap match due to GM Paul Heyman, The Miz is yet to move an inch









The theme of CM Punk hits around the arena to a huge chorus of boos! CM Punk walks out from behind the curtain with a huge smile across his face, he walks down the ramp laughing and clapping at the destruction caused as The Miz is still yet to move.

Punk enters the ring, and stands above The Miz, just looking down at his broken body, Punk grabs a microphone, and sits beside Miz with his legs crossed in typical Punk fashion

[CM Punk]
Let this be a lesson learnt for anybody, that tries to cross The Best in The World! Look at the broken, defeated, embarrassed Miz. It's a man like this that all of you encourage, all of you get behind and cheer on. You send out your tweets, make your stupid forum posts in support of The Miz because he's "one of you" but just look at what he has become. It's so called superstars like The Miz that get everything handed to them, but look at him. He's a broken man! And all of you did this to him!

[CM Punk]
All of you put The Miz in a situation he shouldn't be all because you put him on a level he can't compete to, you put him on a level he cannot match! I on the other hand, am at a far higher level than The Miz..and I don't need to seek your approval, I don't need to seek the approval of anyone back there. When The Miz interrupted me...he made the biggest mistake of his career. He tried to make a name for himself at my expense, and look at how that turned out for him? The fact is, if It was me stepping in this ring with The Miz the beating would be much...much worse than this. This is just the start of what's in store for you Miz, It's a shame that the only general manager worth a damn around here is only given one night.

[CM Punk]
But..I don't need the general manager in my corner to leave you laying where you stand, Miz. Maybe one day, I'll give you the honour of stepping in this ring with. And I'll make you regret the day you stepped back into this company, you should've stuck with your terrible movies and your god awful reality TV show that you only got because of your wife. I'm not here to pander to anybody in this crowd, to pander to Vince McMahon.....I'm here to be the best professional wrestler in the world...You Miz, are a sports entertainer. You are everything wrong with this business, It's guys like me who bust our asses across school gyms in front of 10 people that made this business what it is today.

[CM Punk]
You don't belong in this business, and you sure as hell don't belong in the same ring as me because Miz...I am the best in the world..and there's not a thing you or anybody back there can do to prove me wrong.

CM Punk now stands  up, dropping The Microphone on the Body of The Miz before exiting the ring. The Miz begins to come around after the beating by Braun and Bray, but CM Punk just heads straight to the back ignoring all the jeering fans

Spoiler:























































Spoiler:

The cameras come back to Anarchy backstage to Tom Phillips interviewing Ember Moon.

Tom Phillips
Ember over the last few weeks there has been a continued hostility between yourself and AJ Lee. Now I know there has been lots of reasons thrown around for this, but what do you think is the cause?

Ember Moon
Honestly Tom, she's jealous of my newfound point of view. You see, AJ was strong. AJ was fierce. But AJ has been left behind you see her little act of being "for the fans" is simply that, an act. She acts like I don't know what I was getting into or who I was turning my back on. I knew exactly what I was doing Tom. I was putting everyone and everything behind me that made me feel that I wasn't good enough, big enough, strong enough to take what I want. I've put them behind me and since then, Ember Moon has been rising high here in XWL.

Tom Phillips
So you believe that none of what AJ said is true. Even the fact of you having no friends?

Ember Moon
Do you listen to yourself Tom? I don't need friends. I don't need the fans. Unlike AJ and the rest of this womens division, it isn't their love or adoration that drives me. No, what drives me is hurting the rest of the division. Breaking their face upon my knee. That is what makes me happy.

Suddenly AJ Lee is stood behind Ember, getting close as she can without Ember noticing

[AJ Lee]
Erm..hi.

Ember taken back by the fact AJ is suddenly behind her, takes a quick step away from AJ, leaving Tom Philips in the middle of the two women

[AJ Lee]
I mean..you didn't really break my face with your knee or anything did you? If I remember correctly you had to use this interview set as a weapon...where as I...I kinda left you running from the ring. Officials had to drag me off you....Something overcame me, something I thought I'd gotten rid of. So you can say I "was" strong, and I "was" fierce...but...You was the one leaving, you was the one doing your best to hide. So...what are you going to do now? Blame the fans for you running? Try attack me and use this interview set as a weapon again?

[AJ Lee]
I'm done playing these games, Let's settle this! Prove your point to the entire world that you don't need the fans, that you don't need any one...Why not do it on the grandest stage? That's right Ember....face me at Final Stand! It will be the biggest match of your career! Standing in front of thousands of XWL Universe members, with millions watching around the world, with all eyes on us...Prove you can handle the pressure....But you will crack, and the career of Ember Moon will be....let's say...eclipsed!

AJ lets out a little laugh, as she flicks the hair of Ember Moon before skipping away, leaving a furious Ember Moon standing alone, clearly considering the challenge by AJ

Your winner of the match... CHRIS JERICHO.

After the match, Chris Jericho motions for the ringside crew to bring him a microphone.

{Chris Jericho}
Finn Balor... tonight I defeated Eli Drake, a man that is a thousand times the competitor you are. And at Final Stand... I am going to prove that to you, and these people that I am The Best in the World At What I Do. You have until next week to answer my challenge.

SHAWN MICHAELS VS FINN BALOR



After the conclusion of the HBK/Finn Balor match, the lights go Purple and a cloud of smoke begins to form on the stage



Corey Graves: And here he comes, Velveteen Dream coming to add more misery to the heart break kid.

Mauro Ranallo: HBK has just been through a gruelling match with Fin and now it looks like The Dream wants all the spot light on himself.

HBK faces the entrance way waiting for his new found nemesis to come down the ramp way. All of a sudden a camera cuts back to ringside as a figure jumps over the barricade. As the camera zooms in it’s the dream looking for a sneak attack on Shawn Michaels. The dream then runs into the ring and attacks HBK from behind.

Mauro Ranallo: How cowardly he can’t even attack him head on he has to get a sneak attack in.

HBK has fallen to the floor and the dream begins to stomp away at his body. The dream then mounts HBK and begins to lay punches into his forehead. The dream then picks up HBK lifeless body and stands him upright.

Velveteen Dream: This is what happens old man when you try to hang with the best. Your world has now become a nightmare!

Shawn drops to his knees with apparently no strength to stand.

Velveteen Dream: yes that’s right bow before the superior athlete.

All of a sudden out of nowhere Shawn springs into action and this a low blow to the Dream much to the crowds delight as they cheer the action. The dream then drops to the floor in agony and rolls out the ring to gather himself.

Corey Graves: Absolutely despicable I can’t believe HBK has done that.

HBK gathers himself stands up and delivers a dx crotch chop towards the dream as the crowd cheer. HBK then grabs a microphone and begins to speak.

HBK: Well how does it feel to be lying there all weak and helpless? It ain’t nice is it? For the past few weeks you have made my life a living nightmare. Attack after attack after attack always one step ahead of me. Well not tonight. I knew you’d try sometime after my match tonight so I just had to bide my moment and when I did I got you right where it hurt didn’t I. You have been a thorn in the side of good old HBK for far to long and it’s time I did something about it.

HBK: So how about this. The next ppv is the biggest one of the calendar final stand and it’s time for me to end this once and for all on the grandest stage of them all so what do you say punk. You and me, how would you like to take on the showstopper, the headliner, the main event, mr final stand at final stand and meet your destiny and watch as I turn your dream into a nightmare !

As JBL and CM Punk both go crashing through the barricade, the XWL universe absolutely loose their minds. This has been a hellacious match thus far, with so many extreme moments, the fans have already got their money’s worth. JBL uses the barricade to make it back up to his feet, looking down at the broken down CM Punk. He wanted to prove himself? Well he is learning JBL is not just some pushover like some would claim. JBL drags punk to the ring, before picking him up and rolling his lifeless body into the ring. JBL slides in and immediately goes for the cover.




1...

KICKOUT!

JBL slaps his hand onto the mat in frustration. Punk just will not stay down. His body should be broken. It shouldn’t even be possible for him to kickout, yet somehow he did. JBL stands up and stomps his way to the corner. He looks to punk, waiting for him to stand. Waiting to end this once and for all with a clothesline from hell. Punk begins to stir, not even noticing JBL is waiting for this very moment. Punk makes it to his feet and.....

[Corey Graves]
Oh my god! It’s.....it’s Aiden English!

[Mauro Ranallo]
And the Miz!

[Renee Young]
And they both have weapons!

Renee, Mauro, and Corey are all correct. Aiden slides in on one side of the ring holding a Baseball Bat, while The Miz slides in on the opposite side holding a Kendo Stick. JBL and Punk both turn their attention to their bitter rivals, unsure what to do. They are literally backed into corners. Aiden and the Miz smile, knowing they have their enemies right where they want them. All four men begin to circle the ring, each waiting for their time to strike, or retreat.

The Miz and Aiden simultaneously rear back their weapons for the kill, but Punk and JBL grab for them before the full swing can go into motion. The four men are tugging and pulling trying to win the possession of their prospective weapons. The Miz and Aiden both use their force to push Punk and JBL to the center of the ring, for they are worn out from the war they have already been put through. JBL and Punks backs touch, as they are pushed into eachother, cornered in the center of the ring, with nowhere to go.

Aiden and Miz realize this is EXACTLY what they want. They are ready to end this. They both nod, before kneeing their prospective opponents.....IN THE BALLS! The crowd lets out a huge “OOOOOH” as the pain can be felt, and seen on their faces. Their legs begin to quiver, both almost falling, but Aiden and Miz place their weapons under JBL and Punks chin, raising their heads to make sure the last thing they see if the men who committed this “act of valor”. And with that all fades to black for the two men as Aiden and Miz swing their weapons cracking skulls.....OF EACHOTHER!

[Renee Young]
Oh my god, their both down!

[Corey Graves]
What brains from JBL! He was able to duck just in time for Aiden to crack Miz in the side of the head!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Please Corey if it was anyone if had to be Punk that made this.....accident happen.

JBL and Punk use the ropes to make it back to their feet, they use their legs to push The Miz and Aiden English out of the ring and onto the outside. As their lifeless bodies hit the ground both men turn around to see that yet again they are at square one. They each look down to their feet realizing that next to JBL there is the baseball bat, and next to Punk there is the Kendo Stick. They both cautiously bend down to pick them up continuing this match.

A sickening thud echos around the arena as CM Punk crashes through a flaming table! Gasps of shock are heard around the arena, JBL clearly thinking he has this won falls onto the cover



1....


2...


Suddenly JBL is pulled out of the ring and off the cover! JBL crashes to outside of the ring, before the camera pans back to reveal it's Elias!


[Corey Graves]
IT'S ELIAS! HE JUST COST JBL THIS MATCH!

JBL manages to get back to his feet to see who pulled him off the cover, but the second he does......SMASH!


A huge guitar shot across the head of JBL, knocks JBL senseless. The guitar shatters into countless pieces across the skull. Elias now rolls JBL back into the ring, leaving him prone for CM Punk to take advantage as he begins to stir. Elias, clearly happy with what he's just done just drifts back up the ramp, and exits leaving behind many pieces of a guitar.


CM Punk sees this as his opportunity, somehow gets the strength to climb the ladder. JBL is still yet to move, Punk now at top of the ladder jumps off with a huge Macho Man style elbow drop! He crushes the chest of JBL and makes the cover....

[Mauro Ranallo]
Punk has this won thanks to Elias!

The ref drops down to make the count...


1...


2...







KICKOUT! JBL somehow kicks out, despite the guitar shot, despite the elbow drop JBL still kicks out. CM Punk is furious, he's questioning the ref but the ref insists JBL got his shoulder up...but CM Punk punches the ref! The ref crashes down to the mat and out of the ring.

[Renee Young]
Now we have no ref!

CM Punk letting frustration get the best of him now wonders what he can do.... Suddenly the general manager Paul Heyman is heading down the ramp! Quickly getting in the ring, he can be seen saying something to CM Punk..A smile comes across the face of CM Punk who scoops up JBL onto his shoulders.....


GTS!!


A knee to the face of JBL sends him crashing down to the mat, CM Punk now covers JBL

[Renee Young]
But there's no ref!

Suddenly Paul Heyman drops to the mat and begins to count the cover!


1....




2.....









3!!


The crowd don't know how to react...is this official? CM Punk seems to think so, standing tall with a huge smirk on his face. Paul Heyman raises the hand of CM Punk high in "victory"

[Renee Young]
Does this count?


[Corey Graves]
Of course it does Renee! Paul Heyman is the general manager, and he just did the job that the referee couldn't! CM Punk has beaten the number one contender!

Confusions reigns across the XWL Universe, as boo's begin to ring around the arena. Heyman demands that CM Punk is announced as the winner and JoJo has no choice but to oblige!

[JoJo]
The winner of the match...CM Punk!

CM Punk clearly in pain, after the brutal Extreme Rules match does his best to exit the ring, followed by his advocate and the general manager for the night Paul Heyman.

JBL is left laying in the middle of the ring, the sickening guitar shot by Elias cost him the dominance he had.




The last image we see, is CM Punk raises his arms in victory at top of the ramp, as Paul Heyman applauds his client.




END SHOW
