[Matt Striker]
Ladies and Gentelmen, Please welcome my guest at this time.He is the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. The Capetown Werewolf.. Justin Gabriel!


*Justin Gabriel theme hits across the arena to a huge cheer, and Gabriel walks out from the curtain and walks down the ramp*


*Gabriel makes his way to the ring, and gets in the ring and gets handed a microphone*


[Matt Striker]
Justin, This Sunday you step into this ring at Over The Limit to face a man who used to be your Tag Partner, and your friend. You face Wade Barrett for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Last Man Standing match. You two have been at each other for months now and it could all come to a end at Over The Limit. Many people have doubted that You will be able to keep Wade Barrett down for the ten Count and Walk out World Champion, Bu...


[Justin Gabriel]
Sorry to interrupt you,Matt... But I've heard all of this before. I don't care what the doubters say, or how bad they think Wade will beat me. I'm pretty sure that there's thousands of people in this arena right now who Believe I can beat Wade...and I'm pretty sure they can't wait to see me beat Wade to a bloody pulp. I finally have my chance to become World Heavyweight Champion.. and I finally don't have to share this shot with other superstars... I Finally get the one on one shot that I've worked so had for. That world Championship is a ten count away from being mine. Sure two week ago, Wade did beat me into a bloody mess and keep me down for the count of ten.. But This Sunday, I'm going to go to limits that nobody as ever seen. Last week when I hit my 450 Splash off the balcony... that Was only a preview of what I will do to Wade Barrett this Sunday.


[Justin Gabriel]
And Tonight, Dolph Ziggler will be shown exactly what I'm capable of. I hope Wade takes a close look at our match tonight. Because Dolph will just be a example of what I have in store for Wade at Over The Limit. I'm going to do whatever it takes to walk out of Over The Limit the World Heavyweight Champion... I've worked my way up from the very bottom of this company, I didn't walk in and immediately become a star like many in the past. I know what it's like to be at the bottom of this company.. and It's not a good feeling. But one thing I don't know is what it feels like to be at the top of this company. I'm inches away from feeling that.. and This Sunday, Not only will I end Wade's title reign... I will end his career.


*Justin Gabriel then drops the microphone and walks to the back*

Hulk Hogan vs John Bradshaw Layfield


Match Result
Match starts of with Hogan & JBL locking up. Both men reverse almost every move for the first 5min, but Hulk is able to take control after hitting his Big Boot. Hulk hits the Leg Drop and goes for the pin, but gets a 2 count. Hulk maintains control, then JBL is able to get some offence in and hitting his sig throwaway slam leading into the Clothsline from Hell and getting a 1 count. After Hulk gets up both men continue on and hit move after move. But once again Hulk gets control hitting another Leg Drop and this time almost getting the 3 count. JBL regains consiousnece and turns the momentum around hitting his Clothsline from Hell once again for the 3 count.

The Chickbuster's theme sounds throughout the arena as the fans in attendance quickly rise to their feet excited for the fan favorites pulling off yet another victory together.

{JR}
Can anyone stop these two lovely ladies? The Chickbusters as they call themselves have been on a roll together since arriving on the scene here in XWL for around six months now, their friendship truly does make for quite the duo in both tag and singles bouts.

{King}
It's funny though in a way, AJ when she first arrived here was so inexperienced, and she couldn't buy one win, but by bringing in her best friend she not only renewed her career but far exceeded any expectations the fans or her fellow divas in the locker room had for her.

{JR}
It makes you wonder, if their friendship is strong enough to continue to withstand match after match with one another.

AJ & Kaitlyn share a hug in the ring then get their hands raised by the referee, the fans continue cheering, all while Layla lies on the mat, awake, alert, and clearly upset.

{King}
AJ had her undefeated streak ended by Kaitlyn in relatively short fashion when they last faced one on one just four weeks ago, you have to wonder, if maybe AJ might change her style this coming Sunday. We know Kaitlyn is a tough competitor, and clearly her size is far superior to AJ's but we also know AJ is skilled in submission arts, do you think maybe, just maybe she'll bust out that hold of hers on Kaitlyn to win back the title that Kaitlyn took from her a couple months ago.

Kaitlyn exits the ring to get her Divas Championship from the time keeper, and suddenly stops after she overhears the commentary team.

{JR}
It's entirely possible, we haven't seen one diva break out of that hold since she introduced it to her list of moves in her arsenal. One things for sure, AJ has a lot to prove this Sunday, she didn't put up the best fight the first time, so you have to wonder, what will she change? They may be sisters from another mister, as they call themselves, but we've seen championships get in between teams since the beginning of time, you have to wonder, if maybe we could see that happen between these two.

The Divas Champion seems very annoyed by the continued comments about what they're saying and walks over to the announcer's table while AJ looks a little concerned for her frustrated friend in the ring.

{King}
I think she heard us...

Kaitlyn tries to calm herself down but then finally she places her title on the table showing it to them. "You see this title?!" they nod as she continues " It doesn't mean more to me than my friendship with AJ, so stop acting like it does!" a clearly annoyed Kaitlyn then finishes with "I just wish everyone would shut up about us breaking up, it's not going to happen!" AJ steps out of the ring and places her hand on the frustrated Kaitlyn who calms down finally and grabs her title off the table, places it over her shoulder and then begins to walk away with AJ as our commentary team remains silent until they get near the ramp.

{JR}
Well that was...interesting. I wasn't trying to annoy her, it's just a possibility that it could happen...We've seen the best of teammates split up over championships before, and they also had said at the time that it wouldn't comes between them, but it ultimately did.

{King}
I do sympathize with her though, it has to be rough to be the Divas Champion, yet all the interviewers wanna talk about is the possibility that they could break up, or if the title will come between them or if she's okay defending her title against her best friend, I can understand why she seems so annoyed over any comment like that now. It's all we've heard from interview after interviewer since she first took that title from AJ back at The Monster Bash.

{JR}
I wouldn't wish for two best friends to split up because of a title, but regardless of it getting tiresome for Kaitlyn to hear every single time, it's only brought up because it could happen.

{King}
I look forward to their one on one at Over The Limit this Sunday though, it's bound to be a great match, and hopefully everything goes smoothly for these best friends.


As AJ & Kaitlyn walk through the curtain, we're taken back into the ring, where Layla is shown sitting on her knees still in disbelief at her third loss to Kaitlyn.



{JR}
Layla doesn't look so good either. I think losing quite a bit as of late has really gotten to her.

{King}
Not to mention this is her third loss to Kaitlyn, for someone that's planning to cash in her money in the bank contract sometime in the distant future, and yet she's lost to both AJ & Kaitlyn in the past three weeks, you know this has to be quite frustrating for her.

The silence of the arena is suddenly broken as Layla lets out a very loud and piercing screech. She pounds the mat over and over with both closed fists then pulls at her hair breathing heavily while stray laughs from the fans can be heard over her breakdown.

{King}
This is the very same woman that's been on a rise for about seven months now too..So any sign of bad luck or losing to her is just almost too much for her to handle it seems.

{JR}
No doubt she's a very talented woman, but it seems as if her minds been preoccupied too much lately, almost as if she's not herself.

{King}
It could have to do with the fact that Kaitlyn, who still is undefeated for almost six months now, and also is the current Divas Champion...And she knows that she's lost to her three times now, yet it's a possibility with time running down on her window to cash in, that she could be cashing in on the undefeated Kaitlyn.

{JR}
That could very well be it...Even Kaitlyn's best friend AJ couldn't topple Kaitlyn's streak last month, although she will have a chance to try again this Sunday.


The referee tries to comfort Layla, he places his hand on her shoulder, but she swipes his hand away and glares at him. She then gets to her feet, a fan yells out "You suck, Layla!" which usually wouldn't bother her, but due to her emotional status it sends her over the edge. She screams out again then exits the ring glaring at the commentary team as she walks over to the time keeper to retrieve her Miss Money In The Bank briefcase. She snatches it from the man, then lowers her head looking down right at it as she holds it in her hands...She closes her eyes trying to calm down, but once again, a fan shouting out "hurry up and fail already!" is too much for her, and she suddenly drops the case and collapses to the floor on her hands and knees.




{King}
I've never seen Layla like this...

{JR}
She may talk a big game, but it has to be a tremendous amount of pressure to be in her position. It's almost as if the perfect story book ending for her would be successfully cashing in and ending a three year championship drought, but if she can't defeat Kaitlyn should she retain this Sunday, that won't happen.

{King}
Very true.

After a couple more seconds of remaining in the same position, almost frozen in her own mind, she finally lets out a deep sigh, then rises back up to her feet. She grabs her briefcase off the floor, then without acknowledging the fans, or the commentary team, or anyone in the ringside crew, she tightly clutches her case between her arms and chest, then begins to walk away.

{JR}
I'm not sure what we just witnessed, but hopefully Layla can pull it together before she decides to cash that opportunity in.

{King}
I think she just needed to let it all out, and she'll be okay now. We know she's had a hell of a year in 2011, surely 2012 will be just as successful.

{JR}
I see no reason why it wouldn't be, but Layla needs to regain her focus if she wants to get back on the right track.

We cut away from JR & King, to see Layla still clutching her case, now walking up the ramp still not acknowledging anything she passes. A second later we fade away to a commercial break with the view of Layla still walking up the stage.
