*Redemption returns from a video package highlights the events that took place at Supremacy just twenty four hours ago. Starting with Seth Rollins defeating Triple H to become the 2012 King of the Ring, to Michael McGillicutty losing to Daniel Bryan by disqualification only to win the Intercontinental Championship later in the evening, then followed by Shawn Michaels defeating Antonio Cesaro to retain the United States Championship, leading into perhaps the final battle between Joey Ryan and AJ Styles where AJ managed to keep his career intact and be revealed as Alex Shelley's mystery partner. Then the video finishes with a hard fought bout between the former World Heavyweight Champion, Ted DiBiase, and the new XWL Champion, Edge, only for Vickie Guerrero to come out after the match and fire Ted right on the spot, leaving him in a state of disbelieve before fading to the live audience in attendance, with their “#HireTed” and “Bring Ted Back” signs, along with Ted's official XWL merchandise, found only on XWLShop.com. Their support quickly fades as the theme of not only Mr. Money in the Bank but also the New Intercontinental Champion, Michael McGillicutty, plays throughout the arena, turning the once happy crowd hostile.*
*Michael bursts out from behind the curtain, with both his Money in the Bank briefcase and newly won Intercontinental Championship in tow, shouting “How do you like me now?” at the crowd, which respond with a negative reaction directed at the third generation superstar. He removes the championship from around his waist before raising it and the briefcase high above his head, taunting this hostile crowd. He throws the Intercontinental Championship over his shoulder and begins walking down the ramp, seemingly content with the events that transpired a mere twenty four hours ago. As he's walking down the ramp, he notices a “#HireTed” sign in the front row and manages to quickly snatch it from the fans hands. Michael places his briefcase on the ramp and raises the sign above his head, perhaps showing his support for his former rival. Just when it seemed when Michael had turned over a new leaf, he rips the sign up into a million pieces before picking up his briefcase and laughing into the fans face as he continues walking down the ramp. With the crowd still booing him from his actions moments ago, Michael makes it to the bottom of the ramp before hopping up to the apron and entering the ring, walking over the opposite side to pick up a mic from the time keeper, waiting for the live audience in attendance to quiet down.*
{McGillicutty} Is that really the reception you want to give the new Intercontinental Champion? I guess now you know why I don't like you ingrates, here I am enjoying my triumphant victory over Christian and all you do is show disrespect to the future of this company, for shame. Last night I did what I said I was going to do, I rid myself of that loudmouth vegan, Daniel Bryan, then went on to become the Intercontinental Champion. While I was celebrating my first ever Intercontinental Championship win, I managed to catch the ending to Supremacy and it was a night to remember if I do say so myself. Not only did that talentless loser, Ted DiBiase, lose the World Heavyweight Championship, he was fired from this company on the spot. I just want to take this moment to thank two people for making last night quite possibly the best Pay-Per-View in this companies history, Vickie Guerrero and Eve Torres.
{McGillicutty} I start with Eve, what most people don't know is that I was approached by Eve shortly after my match against Bryan and offered me deal. After a bit of back and forth, we came to terms on an agreement, which I won't go into details about, and I was given an Intercontinental Championship match, which I won with the greatest of ease might I add. Now onto Vickie, it's quite obvious why I'm thanking her but for those of you who don't know, myself and Ted were in a war of wars leading up to Digital Decision which culminated in a deadly and career shortening Hell in a Cell match. I was ultimately defeated and so began my downward spiral, losing matches I should have won then last night, all that changed, not only am I now back to my winning ways thanks to Eve, but now thanks to Vickie, the spotlight hogging, monopoly playing, waste of space and worst third generation superstar on this planet today no longer has an XWL contract, giving people with real talent, such as myself, a chance to climb the mountain once again.
{McGillicutty} Onto my opponent tonight, XWL's own resident showoff, Dolph Ziggler. Dolph and myself a bit of history, from teaming up two weeks ago, all the way to competing against each other at Final Stand in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, which I won. You've also held this Championship that I have over my shoulder and how many times did you manage to defend it? Oh, that's right, you lost it on your first defense. Last night, you defeated Randy Orton by blind luck, well tonight, your luck has run out, mark my words Dolph, you will fall to a McGillicutter, whether you like it or not. Tonight, the show... will be off.
*Michael pauses for a second before speaking again.*
{McGillicutty} I would like to take this moment to say this, for the benefit of those with flash photography...
*Before Michael can finish his sentence, he is cut off by a familiar theme.*
*A few cheers, but still a good ammount of boos can be heard throughout the arena as Christian's theme begins to play. McGillicutty prepares himself as a few seconds later Christian himself walks out from the back with no microphone in hands or anything. He walks out to the top of the stage, staring down towards the ring at Michael McGillicutty. Christian doesn't looked to pleased as he points towards McGillicutty's Intercontinental Championship before starting a run down to the ring. The cheers pick up a notch as McGillicutty prepares himself for Christian who slides into the ring. Michael trys to get ahead of Christian, attempting to attack him with the title but Christian ducks and quickly turns around delivering a strong slap to McGillicutty. He runs towards the opposite ropes and runs back at McGillicutty, tackling him in the process and following it up with a series of right hooks. Christian stops the attack for a little bit, getting to his feet as he looks throughout the arena slightly confused about the cheers. After a little bit of time he looks back down at Michael McGillicutty.*
*Christian takes some steps back, grabbing the corner ropes with his hands setting up for the spear, demanding McGillicutty to get up. McGillicutty is starting to get up but without Christian realizing it, he grabs the Intercontinental Championship from under him as he continues his possum games with Christian. He gets to his feet, slowly but surely, and Christian begins to run at McGillicutty but as Christian approaches, he quickly turns around and blasts Christian over the skull with the belt. The fans boo as Christian lays on the mat, sorta motionless. Michael has a smirk grown across his face as he picks up the microphone he had in his hands before and looks down at Christian. He takes a step over Christian, now standing over Christian and raises the microphone to his mouth.*
{McGillicutty} Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I would like to take this moment to say this, for the benefit of those with flash photography...
*McGillicutty tosses the mic to the mat and does his own version of the 5 second pose with the Intercontinental Championship in hand while still standing above Christian. He stops the pose and begins to exit the ring, cocky as ever looking back at the grounded Christian, grabbing the Money in the Bank briefcase before he exits. Christian is somewhere coming to his sense as Redemption fades to commercial break.*

Subject: Re: XWL Redemption: 8/12/2012 - 8/19/2012 Wed Aug 15, 2012 11:58 am
Michael Cole: Welcome back to Redemption and what a Redemption it has been so far and things are just getting started with the Personification Of Domination Big Zeke entering the ring.
Joey Styles: As everyone can see here Big Zeke is still carrying gold around his waist as he retained his X-Treme Tile against Zack Ryder in a grueling Extreme Rules match at Supremacy. Any ideas why hes out here Cole?
Michael Cole: No, but I hope hes not here to whine even more about losing his Intercontinental Title match at Supremacy.
Zeke has now entered the ring and has got a microphone in his hand.
Ezekiel Jackson: As a matter of fact Cole, I'm not. Unlike you I don't live in the past, I live in the present. Big Zeke may never forget but he doesn't keep the past with him in the present he doesn't look back. On topic with that the reason I don't really know myself all I know is I'm out here to discuss the future of my X-Treme championship.
Vickie Guerrero: EXCUSE ME!
The crowd boos as normal as Vickie Guerrero steps onto the stage
Vickie Guerrero: Zeke I called you here tonight to announce your title match for next week. I have been hearing rumors backstage that you said I've been a bit "soft" to you on your matches as of late.
Ezekiel Jackson: Well I haven't been saying "soft". More like it would be you are the worst GM we could ever have and cant even find a sufficient enough opponent for me to face. Of course no offence to the 4 people I have defended my title against previously.
Vickie Guerrero: Look Zeke I don't really care or have the time to hear you insult me. I have better things to be doing right now. You have had that X-Treme Championship for a month now. So I have decided to give you your biggest challenge yet so next week you will defend in an x-treme 4 way. The first contender is none other then the Milan Miracle Santino Marella.
Ezekiel Jackson: Santino really last I heard from him he lost at supremacy against Sheamus who is one of the people I have already defended my title against NEXT.
Vickie Guerrero: The second contender is your opponent for tonight Crimson.
Ezekiel Jackson: That is not nice Vickie, your making Crimson get his ass kicked twice in a row. You need to give the guy a break, so Vickie who is the last contender in this seems like Zeke vs Jobbers match then?
Vickie Guerrero: Well, the last contender is the Legend Killer Randy Orton.
Zekes face drops as Vickie Guerrero leaves the stage back into the backstage area.
Michael Cole: HAHAHA Zeke face right now is classic its like hes petrified of Randy.
Joey Styles: Well the face of yours when Zeke heard what you was saying about him was priceless. I bet if he went anyway near you would of legged it out of the arena before he got close. Anyway it is now confirmed next week X-Treme 4 way for the X-Treme Title. Ezekiel Jackson, Santino Merella, Crimson and Randy Orton will be taking part.
Redemption fades into a video package advertising the X-Treme 4 Way next week

But Crimson's never faced Zeke
Think he was implying he'll beat Crimson this show.
Im going to post a show review later in this week but just got to say chris, unless zeke is the personification of super hearing then i doubt he would be able to hear cole on commentary :p
'Jerry The King Lawer': we are back from the break, and i have just got words that Justin Robbert is backstage with the debuting tonight's Ryback!,
'Justin Robbert': I'm Here with the debuting Ryback, So Ryback what is your main option tonight when you go out and face with the big show?
'Ryback': Justin my plan tonight is to just go out there and dominate the big show, not only i will dominate the big show i will break his spine and beat his big fat a**'
'Justin Robbert Carry it on later

We return back to our weekly edition of XWL Redemption to be greeting by a startling theme song for none other than Ms. McMahon
Stephanie stepped out onto the stage, having no hesitation before heading down the ramp, one hand resting on her hip as she walked. It was clear by her expression that she had news to deliver, and wanted to get right to it.
Stephanie reached the bottom of the ramp, again avoiding the screams and outreaching of the fans. She held a determined look on her face as she prepared to climb the steal staircase.
She stepped up the staircase, one step at a time as she ducked under the bottom rope, taking a brief walk around the ring and observing the crowd as she stopped in the center of the ring, her arms stretching outwards in a cocky embrace as the crowd screamed in response as Stephanie merely grinned.
Stephanie nodded in approval before her arms fell down by her side. She turned and received a microphone from a nearby referee before she took one final look around the crowd.
{Stephanie McMahon} Good afternoon, Redemption. I am your Executive Vice President of the Divas Division, Stephanie McMahon.
The crowd sent out a mixed reaction as Stephanie spoke
{Stephanie McMahon} Some of you may be wondering: "What is she doing here on Redemption? I thought she was on Breakdown?" Well, to answer your question XWL Universe, because I am the Executive Vice President of the Divas Division, I am allowed to be on whichever show I please, whenever I please.
Cheers are heard from the crowd again
{Stephanie McMahon} Which brings me to why I'm here. After months of torment and harassment at the hands of Kharma, Redemption Diva Maryse has abruptly quit. Leaving her Miss Money in the Bank briefcase vacant for the time being.
The crowd boo'd excessively.
{Stephanie McMahon} However, as you noticed earlier tonight, Beth Phoenix took on Trish Stratus in the first round of what will become a Queen of the Ring Tournament. Where the winner, who will be determined in the finals at Eye for an Eye, will receive the Miss Money in the Bank briefcase. And she will be allowed to cash in whenever she pleases on the current Divas Champion for 12 months.
The crowd absolutely exploded in a joyous reaction.
Stephanie smiled at the reaction of the arena, holding the mic down by her side as she soaked in the emotion. After a moment, she continued to speak
{Stephanie McMahon} On another note, being as Maryse is no longer a part of the XWL Divas roster, I've added a former XWL Diva, Lita, to the Redemption roster!
Once again, cheers filled the arena
{Stephanie McMahon} I trust you will all welcome her with open arms, as she welcomes you with open legs.
Stephanie laughed as the crowd let out an: "OOOOHH!!"
{Stephanie McMahon} Ooh, that was good.
Stephanie took a brief moment to laugh again
{Stephanie McMahon} But to add a bit of seriousness to the situation, I take it you are all pleased with the addition of Kelly Kelly to the Redemption Divas locker room?
More cheers
{Stephanie McMahon} Good, and just to even things out a little, I've also made yet another addition. I've rehired Nikki Bella to Breakdown so that she may take part in action alongside her sister, Brie.
The divas fans were obviously excited at this statement
{Stephanie McMahon} I told you all I was going to turn the Divas Division upside down. And soon enough, you'll all know first hand exactly what I mean.
{Stephanie McMahon} So ladies, I hope you're all prepared for a change, because what I have in store for you all, you'll never see coming.
Stephanie shook her head as she gave the cameras an intent stare. She held it for a moment before she spoke again.
{Stephanie McMahon} Enjoy the show ladies and gentlemen.
A sudden smirk appeared across the Billion Dollar Princess's face as she dropped the mic onto the mat, and ducked under the bottom rope, where she had entered minutes earlier. She headed down the steel stairs and exited the arena with a grin on her face as Redemption rolls forward.

XWL's Redemption cuts backstage where Randy Orton is on a rampage through the corridors barging random employee's out of his way as he storms up to a door before bursting in, the camera zooms in on the door and reveals it to be that of the general manager before Vickie jumps out of her chair...
[Vickie Guerrero] Randy! You come any closer and I'll ca--
[Randy Orton] Shut up and listen...It doesn't have to end in violence y'know Vickie. When I hit you with that RKO, it was with a purpose, you deserved it when you held me back from competing to protect your little boy toy! Now I dunno about you but the way I see it there's three ways this conversation could end, number one with you giving me what I want. Dolph Ziggler, one on one here tonight.
[Vickie Guerrero] Didn't you hear him saying that he was done with y--
[Randy Orton] Of course I heard him! But the problem with that is, I'm not done with him! I'll get that match eventually one way or another and there's not a damn thing that you or anyone else can do about it...But if you're not going to give me that, then how about option two, that title shot that I want? Or...We could always end with option three, but I think your head might still be hurting from last time...
[Vickie Guerrero] Well actually that's where you're wrong! I am the general manager and on a professional level? With no person feelings involved? I agree with Dolph Ziggler. He beat you, move on, he has. As far as the title shot goes, if you weren't wrapped up in your own little bubble you'd notice that you DO have a title shot, right here on Redemption next week!
[Randy Orton] Great, so who's my victim? Will I be holding the World Heavyweight Championship? Or even the Intercontinental title?
[Vickie Guerrero] Did you even listen to Ezekiel Jackson out there tonight?....What am I saying of course you didn't. You will be competing in a fatal four way anything goes match up, for the X-Treme Championship!
Orton stares Vickie dead in the eyes for around ten seconds, paralyzing her with fear, the crowd wait in silence for his reaction and....He smiles...
[Randy Orton] Randy Orton....X-Treme Champion. Has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Very fitting, I am a man who embodies everything that the X-Treme Championship should be. Come next week, you and everybody else are gonna get a harsh wake up call of how extreme a man with a purpose can be! After I destroy four other men single handily...you will have no choice but to give me a one on one with Dolph Ziggler! And when I win that? I'll keep on moving up. Do we have a deal?
[Vickie Guerrero] ...Yes
Randy is just about to leave when...
[Vickie Guerrero] ....Oh but Randy, should you lose the match next week? You will never be allowed to compete against Dolph Ziggler...Ever again! Now get out of my office.
The look on Ortons face tells it all, he is absolutely pissed as he fires out of the general managers office and rampages through the halls once more before coming across the duo of Chris Hero and Antonio Cesaro...The Kings of Wrestling. Orton heads straight for them and as he reaches them screams in Hero's face...
[Randy Orton] Get the hell out of my way!
Hero and Cesaro throw their hands up into the air as they back up into the wall, getting out of the way of the viper....
[Antonio Cesaro] Okay...Easy there big guy...
Orton walks past them and roams further down the hall muttering to himself but all of a sudden a sharp forearm nails him across the back and he crumbles to the floor! The camera pans up to reveal the Kings of Wrestling who waste no time in stomping all over Orton! The barrage of kicks and punches seems endless as Orton soon becomes unresponsive! Chris Hero picks him up to his feet and slams him head first into the wall! Before Orton even has time to fall he is decked with a huge uppercut from Cesaro!
The Viper is lying completely out cold on the floor with blood pouring down his face at the hands of the Kings...who simply smile, adjust themselves and walk away after making a point to both spit down on Ortons motionless carcass...XWL's Redemption fades to the next segment as EMT's and Medics rush to Ortons aid

While the mood in the arena seems to be quite pleasant upon our return from a commercial break, that quickly changes as the Divas Champion's theme hits and the excitement soon changes to vicious boos towards the diva that the fans of XWL love to hate.
{Joey Styles} We're back and it looks like we're going to be treated with an appearance from our Divas Champion.
{Michael Cole} Can you believe the vicious comments that our fans have tweeted and touted regarding what happened this past Sunday? Don't they realize that wasn't Layla's fault?
{Joey Styles} While I agree it wasn't really her fault, you can't blame them, she's not a very liked diva here, and to have Michelle McCool's moment snatched away like that angered them, and rightfully so. It was something that shouldn't have even happened, a poor call by the official has caused this building controversy now.
Out through the curtain walks Layla, she's got her title around her shoulder as she confidently struts out from the back without a care in the world. The fans don't hesitate to express their displeasure by booing and jeering her as she walks down the aisle.
{Michael Cole} This woman doesn't get enough respect, she's constantly improving, and always carrying herself as a champion should. Just last week she had a very successful autograph signing where her personal assistant happily stamped her flawless autograph on anything the fans wanted, and graciously charged a minimal fee of a mere hundred dollars for a photo that will last a life time! A real role model in my book for women everywhere.
{Joey Styles} Yeah, that's really something...
{Michael Cole} It is, not to mention the constant media appearances to promote our great company.
As she reaches the end of the ramp she turns the corner and sees a large group of fans with their hands extended outward hoping to have them slapped, she looks at them for a moment, then smiles moving her hand closer to them, before swinging it back and fixing her hair before smirking causing this bunch to boo her now as she makes her way up the steel steps and eventually through the ropes and into the ring. She walks over to the far side of the ring, holds her title up high and shouts out "Sorry 'Chelle" before ordering someone from the crew to hand her a microphone, and then takes center stage in the ring as her theme cuts out.
A very loud "You suck!" chant breaks out as she still stands smirking in the middle of the ring, ignoring their ridiculous comments before she raises her microphone up.
{Layla} This past Sunday there were a lot of you that foolishly predicted Michelle McCool to score an upset over me, well, as you can all clearly see, she didn't!
She places her hand on her title with a proud smirk on her face garnering another boo filled response from the fans.
{Layla} In fact, the only upset was that ridiculous call first made by the referee. I'm the best diva currently in this company, and for that official to not only count three despite my foot clearly being on the rope, but to hand MY title over to that worthless and disgraceful Michelle McCool was unacceptable! Do you know how much disinfectant I've had to use to bring this title back to it's natural glow? Do you know how hard it was to get that cheap spray tanner smell off of MY title? Ever since I made my return to the ring I've been flawless, victories over some of the supposed bests, and countless history making moments that divas back there not only envy, but never could have accomplished. When I beat Angelina Love last year and took her Miss Money In The Bank briefcase, I made a statement, a statement that I would become the Divas Champion whenever I cashed that contract in. Now I didn't handle my business like other holders of that case, like your little precious Kelly Kelly...no, I cashed that contract in with honor and dignity! I told AJ Lee that in six weeks time I'd be taking her title on the grandest stage of them all, and I did! No cheating, no pre-match attacks, just a showcase that I was and officially am the best this company currently and has ever had to offer.
Loud boos follow that cocky and arrogant statement, as it's clear they disagree.
{Layla} Go ahead, boo me, boo me for being real, boo me for always speaking my mind, and boo me for saying everything that everyone is always thinking. I know I'm talented, I know I'm the best, and if you don't like that, well then you better get over it, because I'm not going anywhere, for a very long time. I've waited my whole career for this moment, to be on top, to be at the absolute best I've ever been, and for the past almost five months, I've proven that I was the star of Lay-Cool, not your precious Michelle McCool, but me! I was the personality, I was the talent, and I was the one being held back, oh you people spent your petty free time insulting me, calling me worthless, saying that without her I'd be future endeavored within a month, well look at me now!
{Layla} I promised to bring change to this division, that I'd lead a new era, and I've done just that...were there any "anti-divas" around when the likes or Kaitlyn or AJ played hot potato with this title as if it were some children's game? Did Beth Phoenix up her game and beat all these "models" no, she made a joke of herself, and only just recently is finally backing up what she says...and then there's the mysterious Paige, the woman that didn't even tell us her name for weeks, but in the ring she tell us she's got talent, and she knows how to use it. Even Sara Del Rey has made a bigger splash onto the scene than she did last year when she fell to me...while she's yet to compete, she's aligned herself with the Kings of Wrestling, and has made herself relevant. Then who could forget Mschif, an indy name known by many people, a woman that's unorthodox in the way she looks, and the way she handles her business. Did you see the likes of Kelly Kelly spitting green mist in anyone's eyes? And I'd much prefer Mschif's screaming over Kelly Kelly's, which quite frankly is better left for the bedroom, or in her case, closets, on top of desks, and other wonderful places like that.
Once again her crass comments are responded with boos which she ignores.
{Layla} Say what you want, but this is no coincidence, the company clearly saw that talent and a certain look was priority, and hence the tremendously enhanced divas roster. Does that mean they're better than me? Absolutely not, but it's a step in the right direction, and who knows, maybe one day they'll be able to call themselves the Divas Champion. You people may boo me, but I've simply been about raising the standard, this isn't about cutesy BFF fun, it's not about shaking your money maker, it's about getting it done in the ring, and proving we're just as important as the men. My fellow ladies might disagree, but I think one thing we can agree on, is keeping this title away from the likes of women like Kelly Kelly.
{Layla} Wasn't her return just so amazing? I mean coming out here and talking about her looks, in a WRESTLING ring, on a WRESTLING show for the entire time, wow, can you believe how lucky we were to be treated to such "entertainment." Now I don't know about all of you, but if I were making my return, I'd spend less time putting over my little shoot, and actually talk about how hard I've been working to come back better than ever, but it's good to see your priorities are in check, Kelly. You're an example of what the division used to be, it used to be the blonde bimbo hour. But that's what it USED to be, back when you became the first ever Miss Money In The Bank, you had the likes of Ashley, Jillian Hall, and Candice Michelle to contend with, wow, talk about top notch competitors! How ever did you do it!
She laughs.
{Layla} My point is Kelly, there's a reason it's been over three years since you've been Divas Champion, and that reason, is because you're just the token eye candy, and divas like myself are the ones paving new grounds for the divas of tomorrow. So as for your little goal of taking my title, I'd aim a little lower, you know, where you're used to being? Because it's not gonna happen, if the likes of AJ, Eve, and Michelle McCool couldn't beat me, what makes you think that you of all people can? So you and I have a match next week, I'd try to act intimidated just for the sake of being generically afraid of a returning "talent" but let's face it, I'll easily dispose of you, crush your spirits, and not even break a sweat. So here's some advice for you, push back a few of your photoshoots, and maybe spend a few hours in the ring until then, you know, so I don't completely embarrass you on your big return?
Even louder boos and she then holds up her hand to silence them.
{Layla} Please try to act like you've got some civility, just because you don't like the truth you're going to boo me? Now as I was going to say, this past Sunday I did exactly as I said I would, defeated Michelle McCool, and proved that I am better than she is, as if that needed any backing to begin with....but now there is no denying it, I am better than that no good, talent lacking, atrocity known as....
{Joey Styles} It's Michelle McCool!
{Michael Cole} What's she doing here?! She belongs on Breakdown with the rest of the losers!
The camera cuts to the stage as the crowd eagerly await’s the arrival of the Diva who came so close to proving so much to herself just the other night. Not wanting to keep them waiting Michelle appears moments later on the stage with a smile upon her face. She looks around and raises her hands as the crowd begins to cheer.
She smiles and begins to make her way down to the ring. Slapping the hands of several fans as she makes her way to ringside.
Michelle keeps a smile on her face until she looks in the direction of her former BFF. Michelle smirks at her before continuing to the side of the ring. She looks around as the crowd pops for her before she hops up onto the apron. Seconds later she turns toward the crowd and smiles before swining her foot outwards. She takes it all in before walking into the ring.
Noticing Layla out of the corner of her eye, Michelle ignores her, and hops up onto the turnbuckle. She pauses for a moment taking it all in before throwing her arms outwards.
The crowd begins to cheer loudly as she soaks in the praise for herself despite her short-comings at the ppv just days before. Seconds later she hops down and ask for a mic. She gets just inches from Layla and smiles. Layla glares and rolls her eyes before moving her own mic to her mouth. She goes to speak but is cut off by her former BFF
{Layla} ‘Chelle what are you doing out here this does..
Michelle raises her mic to her mouth her expression more intense than ever
{Michelle McCool} No! Y’all had your time to speak, and quite frankly Hun, I have had a lot of things on my mind and it’s time that I get them off my chest. So, now Lay I know this is going to be hard for you but, if you could just do me one little favor and shut that gaping hole you call a mouth for a few minutes I’d really appreciate it okay Hun?
Layla goes to speak taken aback by the new attitude of her former BFF but Michelle cuts her off yet again
{Michelle McCool} Aww, what’s wrong Lay, didn’t expect little ole ‘Chelle to speak out like this? Y’all thought I was just gonna sit by in the back and let you say the things you did? Well, I know how it may have seemed that way but, that was only because I was hurt by what had happened between us, but ya know something Hun, the more I thought about it, I wasn’t the one to blame. Oh, no the person to blame for all of this, is nobody but YOU!. Now I know what y’all are thinking but wait a minute ‘Chelle, Layla’s the champion she’s little miss perfect, she does no wrong. Oh but that couldn’t be further from the truth y’all. You see, I didn’t realize it and I didn’t want to admit it but, the day you attacked me from behind I finally had some sense knocked into my head.
Layla smirks and goes to speak but Michelle beats her to the punch yet again
{Michelle McCool} Oh, wait, this is the part where y’all tell me that I don’t have any sense in the first place. Isn’t that right Lay? That I’ve got nobody to blame but myself? That you’ve moved on and I need to stop living in the past. Well, for once, I’m gonna take your advice girl. Now I know this is going to be denied until you’re blue in the face Lay but, Hun as much as I didn’t want to admit it being a former champion myself, that title’s changed you. Sure, you can sit there and tell me you’re the same old Lay but, we both know that’s not true Hun. I was once like you Lay, I thought the whole world revolved around me, I didn’t care who I hurt or the things I said I didn’t want to stop until I was at the top. Look what it’s done. Y’all can sit there and tell me that you don’t care about me, and you know what Lay? That’s fine! The gal I once knew, the person that I considered a sister is long gone, and I have that little “championship” you’re holding to thank for it.
{Michelle McCool} Now don’t get me wrong y’all, I’m not saying anything bad about the title, I think we all can agree that Lay’s the one who’s changed. Y’all can sit there and tell me I’ve lost, that I’m a shell of my former self Hun and that may be true but, at least I still know who I am. I don’t even know you anymore and quite frankly Hun, I’m glad you attacked me because I’ve come to realize, if you’re gonna act the way you’ve acted then the last thing in this world I ever need is you! I used to want things to go back to the way they were, but I know that’s not going to happen. Now? Well, I have one thing left to say, McBitch is back and she‘s coming for you!
Michelle lowers her mic and glares in Layla‘s direction. She rushes at her and Layla quickly retreats to the ropes before leaning halfway out of them. She looks towards Michelle who smirks and backs away. Layla looks around before speaking
{Layla} I'm sorry is that supposed to scare me? You're coming for me? Oh no, somebody save me, anything but that!
Michelle doesn't seem amused by her tone.
{Layla} This title hasn't changed me, I've changed it, changed who can compete for it, changed what it stands for, and changed what others think of it. That is why people like you will NEVER hold it again, because it finally means something, it finally has prestige, and I'll be damned if you EVER get your grubby little hands on it again. You might have this new "attitude" but it changes nothing, you still didn't beat me this past Sunday, and you still left Supremacy as you leave every single show, a loser! Don't like me calling you that? Too bad! Because it's what you are, it's what you've become, and there's no hope, you'll forever be in my shadow, you'll forever be known as my lesser partner, and that's because I've proven that I was the star of Lay-Cool. I was the talent, the looks, and the brains, while you were just the greedy, manipulative, and self centered bitch that kept me from becoming Divas Champion for as long as you could. But those days are over, and now this title belongs to me...the day we were split in the draft was one of the happiest days of life, because it meant I no longer had to carry you and bring myself down to your inferior level. I know it might be hard for you to understand, but in simple terms, I don't like you anymore, so why don't you do us both a favor and get out of my ring, while you've still got some dignity left.
Michelle lightly laughs and paces around before speaking
{Michelle McCool} Oh, Lay, Lay, Lay are you so wrapped up in your own little world that you can’t tell how that title has changed you? Hun, I’m sorry but even if you refuse to admit it you’ve changed but, then again it’s obvious you don’t want help so why would I even bother anymore. Oh, right, because that’s what FRIENDS do Lay. You come out here and y’all talk about having talent and brains well Hun, I’m really dying to know, where on earth has your brain gone? Look, I get it you’ve moved on and I can accept that but, one thing I won’t do is stand by and let you demean that title or anyone in the back anymore. Y’all wanna talk about being a greedy, self-centered bitch, well Hun I’m sure there’s a mirror around here somewhere so why don’t you take a good long look in one girl! Oh, this is your ring now is it and I better get out of it while I’ve still got some dignity left, we’ll now I’m sorry oh queen of the ring I guess I’ll leave you alone and go back to being a peasant.
Michelle goes to leave the ring and gets halfway under the ropes before pausing. She slowly turns back around and gets in Lay’s face. She looks around as the crowd knows what’s coming next and cheers before raising the mic
{Michelle McCool} Real Talk!
{Michelle McCool} You know what you are Hun, you’re honestly worse than I ever was, much, MUCH worse. Now don’t get me wrong y’all when I held that there title I said and did some things I shouldn’t have. Hell, I even injured some people that were just trying to be my friends but, nothing I did compares to what you’ve done not just to that title but yourself. Y’all can parade around all day and tell me that you’re done with me and that you’re gonna bring prestige back to that title. However, all you’ve done is made that title a shell of what it used to be. This company.. The very REASON we’re in this company is to prove that we’re the best each and every night but, also, to put on a show in front of all these people. Well, I’ve got news for you Lay, you’re NOTthe show on this show. There’s tons of Diva’s in the back, myself included, ready and waiting to knock some sense into you. Not just for us but for you. It’s funny that you bring up Kelly Lay, because if I had to put money on it, Kelly could beat you any day of the week. Now, I know Kel and I aren’t the best of friends but, even I know she’s a fighter. So, a word of advice “friend” y’all better shut your mouth, before someone shuts it for you and that.. That’s REAL TALK!
{Layla} If you ever, and I mean EVER use my catchphrase again, losing every single match you're apart of will be the LEAST of your worries, do you understand?
Michelle just rolls her eyes as she points to Layla while laughing in the fans' direction. Layla then grabs her former BFF by her jaw.
{Layla} Answer me!
Michelle then swipes her hand away, and Layla after a few seconds grins.
{Layla} Okay fine, you wanna act all tough now, be my guest, but it doesn't change the fact that you're not even in my league...I hope you enjoyed holding this title in your little "celebration" this past Sunday, because that's the last time your undeserving hands will come even close to this title! How exactly is it a shell of what it used to be? Back in the days of the Chickbusters? Because that was such a prestigious time? Or maybe Trish Stratus' many, many comeback tours that were so exhilarating? What about Maryse roaming around with that ridiculous golden tooth, and all her oh so wonderful psychological problems? And do I even need to bring up your pathetic reigns? Oh look I can win the title, just kidding, I lost it already!
Michelle lightly scoff. She shakes her head briefly before speaking
{Michelle McCool} Um, Hun the last time I checked, we were both members of Lay-Cool so as far as I‘m concerned I can use “your“ phrases as much as I want to and that‘s real talk. Now, you can sit there all you want and throw insults, that‘s nothing new for either of us. However at the end of the day you gotta back it up in this ring in front of THESE people. No matter how much you want to admit it we‘re all here for them. So, yes I do have a new attitude but, I wouldn‘t exactly call it new. More so the fact that I‘ve finally opened my eyes. As much as I want that title you‘re holding it‘s about much more than that. I‘m not going to stand for anyone calling me anything anymore when they can‘t back up what they say. Sure, did I do that in the past myself, yes I did but that stops now.
Michelle pauses for a moment before speaking a final time
{Michelle McCool} Oh, and you‘re right Lay, you may have done a lot more in the time you‘ve held that title than the people you‘ve listed but, I‘m warning you right now, the next time y‘all put YOUR “grubby hands“ on me it‘ll be the last thing y‘all ever do.
Layla smirks and touches Michelle‘s face and quickly moves away. Michelle glares and mouths don‘t do it again or else. Layla laughs and mouths you‘ve never changed ‘chelle you‘ll always be a loser!
{Joey Styles} Oh my I think Layla might be stepping over the line there a bit. That’s the last thing Michelle would want to be called right about now
In an instant Michelle rushes Layla and mounts her out of nowhere. She begins throwing her arms at Layla. Layla tries covering her face screaming for the referee‘s to get the crazy McCool off of her.
{Michael Cole} Somebody get out here and stop this mad woman. She’s lost her mind. That’s the Diva’s champion folks she doesn’t deserve to be treated like this. Security! Security!!
{Joey Styles} Can you blame her Michael? She had just won the Diva’s championship she’s fought so hard for and then in a blink of an eye it was taken away from her.
{Michael Cole} Are you kidding me? Layla clearly had that match won. Michelle’s had her time in the sun it’s all about Layla El now. There’s no reason for this unprovoked attack. Someone needs to stop this woman right now dammit!
Michelle stops for a moment and smirks. Layla looks on in confusion. Michelle suddenly grabs her head and begins ramming it hard into the canvas the loud thud of Layla‘s skull can be heard bouncing off the mat. The two Diva‘s begin to roll around the ring trading shots at each other. Lay grabbing handful‘s of Michelle‘s hair and screaming things. Michelle uses her leg strength and counters into a roll of her own. She slowly lifts Layla up and begins screaming at her that she‘s lost the one person she could never lose. Michelle looks around as the crowd cheers before tossing Layla hard into the corner post. Layla falls in a heap and Michelle looks around as the crowd begins to cheer. She goes to rush towards the corner to deliver a devastating knee to her former friend when suddenly…
Stephanie McMahon steps out onto the stage, interrupting the brutal brawl of the former BFF's.
Michelle McCool watched in utter shock, while Layla on the other hand seemed extremely relieved, as if Stephanie had come to her aid. Stephanie already held a mic in her hand, as she examined the train-wreck inside the ring before she began speaking her mind.
{Stephanie McMahon} Ladies, ladies, ladies.. It's obvious that your two are having some serious issues. So why don't you both take a moment to put your extensions back in, pick up your eyelashes, and put your fingernails away so I can try to take either of you seriously.
The crowd laughed wildly as Michelle and Layla's jaws dropped, they began yelling: "You can't say that to us! Who do you think you are?!" but Stephanie paid it no mind.
{Stephanie McMahon} Watching you both scurry over each other like a couple of insignificant squirrels really gave me an idea..
Michelle and Layla looked back and forth at each other, and then back at Stephanie.
{Stephanie McMahon} You all remember how I spoke about your divas bleeding, and sweating, and screaming in pain.. Well I've come to a conclusion. 4 weeks from today at our Live Pay Per View event Eye for an Eye, Michelle McCool will have a second chance at getting her hands on that Divas Title.
Stephanie pointed at the Divas Championship which laid on the mat by itself, after the attack of Michelle.
{Stephanie McMahon} In 4 weeks, at our live Pay Per View event, Eye for an Eye, you two are going to battle out all of these emotions you hold against each other.
Michelle clapped, obviously agreeing with Stephanie's idea. Layla had a vengeful look on her face, but she didn't seem too worried about it.. Yet. Stephanie turned as if she was going to leave, but before she did she turned back around, facing the two Divas in the ring.
{Stephanie McMahon} Oh, and by the way..
Michelle and Layla turned their attention back to Stephanie McMahon
{Stephanie McMahon} It's going to be a Steel Cage Match!
Michelle and Layla's faces were practically displaying horror as the fans went wild. Nonetheless, Michelle still saw opportunity to regain the Divas Title. Stephanie smirked devilishly as the fans were out of their seats with joy.
Stephanie's theme song hit as she turned and left the stage, disappearing somewhere in the back. Our screens at home go dark, with the leaving image of Michelle and Layla standing on opposite sides of the ring, sizing each other up.

XWL's Redemption cuts to the ring with Lillian Garcia holding her microphone getting ready to introduce the next match-up.
]Lillian Garcia]: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following tag team match is set for one fall.
[Michael Cole]: Did Lillian just botch an introduction? Well, I can’t say that I’m surprised.
[Joey Styles]: Oh would you put a sock in it Cole. Like you’re any good at your job.
[Michael Cole]: That’s Sir Cole to you. Who could forget that I was knighted by the Queen of England?
[Lillian Garcia]: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 215 lbs., Johnny Nitro.
[Michael Cole]: Oh my god Lillian, could you be any worse? He hasn’t gone by that name in 5 years. How about we get #FireLillian trending on Twitter?
[Joey Styles]: OH MY GOD, would you just shut up Cole? Anyways, for the viewers watching back at home, John Morrison has decided to return to XWL and up next after this match, he promises to deliver a promo that the audience will never forget.
John Morrison makes his way to the ring and smiles.
He stops for a moment.
[Joey Styles]: Boy does Morrison look happy to be back.
John Morrison poses up and the turnbuckle.
[Michael Cole]: This should be one for the books. John Morrison vs Low Ki, up next.
As XWL's Redemption comes back from the break, we see Low Ki already in the ring.
Normal Match John Morrison vs Low Ki
And the bell rings and we get the match starts. Low Ki goes for the handshake but Jomo refuses it leading to some boos from the crowd. The two adversaries circle around each other and lock up. John Morrison puts Low Ki into a headlock followed by a takedown. Low Ki struggles to get out but wisely goes for the headscissors followed by a kip-up by John Morrison. They begin to circle each other and lock up again. John puts him in the headlock but Low Ki manages to back him up in the turnbuckle where the ref starts to count for John to let go. 1! 2! 3! John lets go as if he was going to back up and kicks Low Ki in the stomach followed by a forearm to the face. John sends him to the opposite turnbuckle but Low Ki reverses the Irish Whip sending Morrison into the turnbuckle. Morrison holds his chest from the pain and turns around only to be hit by a shoulder block. Low Ki jumps over the fallen Morrison in which Morrison gets up and leapfrogs over him followed by a dropkick to the face. Morrison does his signature pose as the fans begin to boo. John picks him up and goes for a suplex which Low Ki reverses into a roll up. 1! 2! And no three. Ki picks Morrison up and performs a snapmare followed by three kicks to the chest. YES! YES! YES! He goes for the cover, 1! 2! And no. Morrison kicks out and Ki kicks him in the stomach. He goes on the apron, getting ready to perform a 450 splash. He goes for it and BOOM! misses. Morrison uses the ropes for leverage and gets up. Low Ki gets up holding his torso area from the impact and suddenly Morrison hooks him and goes for the C4. It connects! Morrison drags him to the ropes and signals for the Starship Pain. He bounces off the rope and hits the Starship Pain. 1! 2! 3!
| | | | | | | | | | | | Spoilers
Winner:
As promised, John Morrison takes the mic after celebrating
[John Morrison]: I've decided to come back to XWL after taking hiatus. Needed some time to rejuvenate and reflect on myself. I thought to myself, what am I doing wrong? Why haven't I reached to top yet guys like Edge are at the top? I did some soul searching and realized it's because I became what the fans wanted me to become. I became one of those boring fan favorites who the always does the right thing to get cheap pops and you know what, I'm done being the old Morrison. I'm here to call out all of the bullshit in this company.
The fans boo loudly at Morrison
[John Morrison]: You guys can boo me all you want, thank you for your very irrelevant opinions. When I decided to come back to XWL, I made a promise to myself. I promised I would do whatever I have to do to get to the top and if that means taking out each and every guy out on the roster, then that's what I'll have to do. I mean, look at the roster, is there much competition compared to me? You see Low Ki here, he wasn’t competition at all. Sure he got a few moves in, but did it really matter in the end? I shouldn't have had to face him and should've been facing people of championship caliber, though I must say, some of these champions aren't even deserving.
John continues to speak and ignores the massive boos.
[John Morrison]: Look at the roster now. You've got John Cena, the corporate kiss ass. You've got guys like Ryback around here that can't even cut a promo and Kelly Kelly, she can’t even run the ropes, yet she has a job here at XWL. I will not stand for this crap and I'm going to leave you guys with a message. This is the new John Morrison. I'm not your typical whiny heel because in fact I'm telling you how it is. I'm back and I'm ready to make it to the top. No more cheap pops, no more catering to the fans. I'm here to do one thing and that one thing is succeed.
John Morrison drops the mic as the crowd begins to boo heavily.

Normal Match John Cena vs Cody Rhodes
[Michael Cole] And John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes is up next, let's hope Cody gives Cena the same treatment that he did to Ted. We could use a #FireCena campaign.
[Joey Styles] Cole you just don't like Cena because he's actually not full of himself, and I hope he shows Cody Rhodes how full of himself Cody Rhodes is.
We return from commercial break with both men in their separate corners, preparing themselves for this one on one contest. But first, an introduction from Justin Roberts.
[Justin Roberts] This contest is set for one fall, in one corner, Elimination Chamber participant, hailing from West Newbury Massachusetts, John Cena! And in the other corner, also an Elimination Chamber participant, hailing from Marietta Georgia, Cody Rhodes!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[Michael Cole] And here we go, the start of the match where Cody Rhodes will dominate John Cena.
[Joey Styles] Maybe that's what you think, but it's been proven in the past that Cody Rhodes has lost to John Cena.
The bell rings, signalling the beginning of this match up. Cody and Cena both slowly step their way towards the center of the ring where they lock up. Both men push back and forth before John Cena is able to win the upperhand and sends Cody off the ropes with an Irish Whip. He ducks under a clothesline from Cody as Rhodes continues to run the ropes, he bounces off and comes back at Cena who nails a Hip Toss on the receiving end of things. John Cena waits for Cody's head to pop up a little and then nails a neck twist. But it's then that Cody kicks John Cena in the knee and now Cody takes control.
[Michael Cole] Back and forth action here, won't be long before that stops and it's all Cody Rhodes though. You know, I wonder why Cena is even trying.
[Joey Styles] Maybe because he's not as negative as you, he has a shot in this match. And I shouldn't even say a shot, I'll even say Cena could be the favorite in this match given he's won the majority of the times they've both met.
[Michael Cole] Why do you have to disagree with me?
[Joey Styles] But you're the one disagreeing with me..
Cody Rhodes lifts up John Cena and nails a Snap Suplex which is followed by strikes to the face. Cody Rhodes leaps into the air, attempting to drop a knee into Cena's face, but Cena rolls out of the way as Cody's knee hits the ground. Cena lifts up the knee and smashes it to the canvas once more, inflicting more damage on Cody. Cena lifts up Cody and whips him against the ropes, but Cody comes back and hits a shoulder block that takes John off his feet. John Cena backs up into a corner, and Cody stomps a Cena that's leaned against the turnbuckle. He whips him off and into the other turnbuckle where he hits a clothesline. He attempts to repeat the process, but this time John Cena is able to reverse the whip and send Cody into the turnbuckle.
[Joey Styles] What a reversal! Cena is hitting Cody hard.
[Michael Cole] But Cody clearly got the better of Cena there, he's just playing possum to Cena, he'll spring into action any second.
[Joey Styles] I'm sure, Cole.
Cena follows that up with a shoulder block into the turnbuckle followed by a barrage of fists to a cornered Cody. It's then that Cody reverses and begins smashing Cena's head into the turnbuckle. Once tired, Cody lets up on the attack in the corner, but Cena is quick to take advantage, nailing a Fisherman Suplex. He hooks the legs, but it's only a one count. Cody is then able to quickly take Cena down from behind by his legs. Cody grabs the legs and pulls it in all different directions, attempting to hurt it. Cody stalks John Cena and awaits him to get to his feet as he pounces up on the second rope and nails the Beautiful Disaster!
[Michael Cole] BEAUTIFUL DISASTER! THIS IS IT!
[Joey Styles] He's going for the cover..
There's a two count after that move and Cody looks at the ref in disgust. Cody lifts up Cena after that, but Cena quickly counters and he's able to hit his signature move before his five knuckle shuffle as he raises his hand high in the air. He runs the ropes and delivers the Five Knuckle Shuffle and he's waiting for Cody Rhodes to get to his feet..
[Michael Cole] No.. Noo.. Cody you have to counter this, I know you have it in you, make Cena pay!
[Joey Styles] Yes! Cena will prove to you once again that he is not as awful as you make him out to be!
Cody finally reaches his feet and Cena raises him up onto his shoulders for the AA! Just as John Cena is about to deliver it, Cody Rhodes slips out. The two meet face to face for just a brief second, before Cody Rhodes delivers a quick low blow with his knee to John Cena! Cena falls in pain and the ref calls for the bell.
[Michael Cole] He made him pay!
[Joey Styles] But he lost the match even if that was the price of it.
[Michael Cole] Cody doesn't look like he lost, and Cena doesn't look like he won!
[Joey Styles] ...
[Justin Roberts] And your winner via Disqualification, John Cena!
Cena may have been called the winner of this match, but he certainly doesn't seem like it as he lays on the ground in pain as Cody Rhodes stares on devilishly. Rhodes is seen saying numerous things and mocking Cena, not even caring he was DQ'd. We pan around, seeing the looks of pain on Cena's face and the looks of all sorts of joy on Cody Rhode's face, he really is Dashingly Insane.
[Michael Cole] What a move by Cody Rhodes, look at the look on Cena's face!
[Joey Styles] That was a dirty thing to do, Cody should be ashamed of himself.
[Michael Cole] But look, he's the one standing at the end of the night, he's done it!
[Joey Styles] I don't understand how you can classify that as good in any way...
We then cut to commercial, having heard our last words from the commentator and having had our last glances at the still contrasting expressions across the faces of both John Cena & Cody Rhodes.

*Redemption returns from a commercial break to the sound of some familiar music echoing around the arena...*
*The Executive Vice President Of Talent Relations himself, Mr John Laurinaitis makes his way out onto the ramp, all smiles and waving sarcastically to the members of the audience. The XWL Universe responds in their usual way to Johnny Ace, by being as verbally hostile as possible.*
[Michael Cole] And here comes a man of class, a man of dignity, Mr John Laurinaitis! I'm so glad that Big Johnny is back!
[Joey Styles] I think you're the only one who feels that way.
[Michael Cole] Oh don't be stupid! Johnny has legions of fans who follow him everywhere he goes, begging for his autograph! I've seen them first hand!
[Joey Styles] You're delusional.
[Michael Cole] Don't call me delusional! I've seen them first hand! In fact, come with me after the show and I'll show you.
[Joey Styles] No thanks, I don't want to go anywhere with you at any time. It's a chore just to work with you once per week.
*Laurinaitis is all smiles as he soaks up the crowd's negative reaction. Eventually he raises his mic upwards to speak.*
[John Laurinaitis] My name is John Laurinaitis, and I am the Executive Vice President Of Talent Relations. I am here tonight on behalf of the Board Of Directors, to once and for all put to bed this issue surrounding Triple H and Brock Lesnar. Now as you all have seen over the past several months, Triple H and Brock Lesnar have been the worst of enemies. They've constantly been at each other's throats, and they've put each other through an insane amount of physical and emotional pain.
[John Laurinaitis] We've seen sneak attacks from behind, we've seen families threatened, houses destroyed, Brock Lesnar was hospitalised and Triple H was even incarcerated and spent some time behind bars. All of these things are simply unacceptable. Last I checked, we were a professional wrestling organisation and that means that grudges and differences between two men should be settled inside this ring and inside this ring only.
[Michael Cole] Tell em Johnny!
[John Laurinaitis] It does not look good for the image of this company to have two of our top talents engaging in thug-like acts week in, week out. Not to mention the amount of damages, medical and legal fees that XWL has had to pay out. It's just simply unacceptable and the Board Of Directors will not stand for it any longer!
[John Laurinaitis] If Triple H and Brock Lesnar think they can go around and do whatever they want... if they think they're bigger than this company then they're wrong! They have to be prepared to face the consequences of their actions! That is why last week, I came out here at the request of the Board and I enforced a ban on physical contact between the two. If they so much as lay a finger on the other, both of their contracts will be terminated. But that's only a temporary solution. The Board Of Directors will not settle for a temporary solution. Instead, they've decided to put their reputations on the line and bite the bullet. So as of right now...
*Laurinaitis is interrupted as Brock Lesnar's music hits. The crowd roar in hatred even louder than they did earlier as Brock makes his way out from the gorilla position. He looks none too happy as he looks from side to side at the masses of fans ferociously booing him.*
[Michael Cole] Ohhh my!
[Joey Styles] Can you say... Here comes the pain?
[Michael Cole] Lesnar doesn't look too happy...
[Joey Styles] Does he ever? Besides, I think John Laurinaitis was about to do something crazy... who would want to upset this man! Look at him!
*Lesnar does his usual entrance theatrics on Laurinaitis looks on inquisitively.*
*Brock's expression is cold and faultless as he makes his way towards the ring, unhindered by the fans' roars of hatred.*
*He enters the ring, grabs a microphone and looks into the camera for a few moments, expressionless, as the heat continues to rain down upon him.*
*Laurinaitis is clearly wary at this point, as Lesnar raises his microphone to speak...*
[Brock Lesnar] Before you do what I think you were going to do... I want you to think about something. I'm a man, that you don't want to piss off. I'm a man, who enjoys an expensive lifestyle. And I'm a man who enjoys causing pain and making people suffer. So before you utter another word, think about that. If I'm going to be fired by you... a corporate suit guy who is too big for his own shoes, and a bunch of un-named bigwigs who hide behind their desks in some office building you've got another thing coming. If you leave me on the unemployment line, I'll leave you on your last lifeline. And if you think I'm playing around... go right ahead and do it. Bite the bullet. Go on, I dare you.
*Lesnar is deadly serious as he delivers his threat. Laurinaitis is unnerved by this and adjusts his tie and collar before raising his own mic to respond.*
[John Laurinaitis] Now Brock, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I-
*Brock Lesnar and John Laurinaitis' attention instantly turns to top of the ramp.*
[Joey Styles] Here comes the Game!
[Michael Cole] This situation can't be good. Whenever Lesnar and Triple H are in the same ring together, bad things happen.
*"The Game" appears from behind the curtain, in a suit. But with a serious look on his face.*
*Triple H clearly not waiting around, just walks straight to the ring, not acknowledging the cheering fans or doing his traditional water spray entrance to the ring.*
*Brock clenches his fist as HHH enters the ring and grabs a microphone.*
[Joey Styles] I have to wonder how they're going to restrain themselves. I haven't seen hatred like this for quite some time. If they attack each other - which they clearly want to - then they're fired!
[Michael Cole] Well, it seemed like they were about to be fired anyway, so what do they have to lose! I say let them fight!
[John Laurinaitis] Hold up there, Hunter. I've seen that look in your face before. Think about the consequences before you do anything stupid.
[Triple H] Trust me, John.. I've thought long and hard about the consequences. I've thought is it worth it? Is it worth getting fired to just kick this guys ass once more time, around this entire arena and make sure he never steps foot inside this ring again. It wouldn't be the first time I'd have been fired by this company. My entire career I've done whatever the hell I want to do, what makes you think I'll stop now? What is there to stop me from walking straight over to Brock right now, and ending his career.
[Brock Lesnar] You really think you could end my career? That's rich coming from a guy who couldn't beat the toothpick rookie named Seth Rollins. Besides, you've already tried once and look how that worked out. I'm still here. You're a shell of your former self. You're not the King Of Kings, the Cerebral Assassin or any of that crap anymore. You're just a tired, old man who deserves to be put out of his misery. I'd be more than happy to do that, but John Laurinaitis here has this legal bullshit stopping me from doing it. You deserve to be crippled after what you've done to me and my family... But right now, John Laurinaitis is my main problem, I can deal with you later.
*Lesnar turns to Laurinaitis.*
[Brock Lesnar] Do you really think you can fire me?
*Laurinaitis is about to respond but is cut off by Triple H.*
[Triple H] You don't need to worry about him, or anybody else. You just need to worry about me... You say I'm a shell of my former self? You maybe right... but that doesn't stop me kicking your ass. How was it in that hospital for an entire month? How did it feel to have to leave the arena on a stretcher? I've done it to you once, Brock. I can sure as hell do it again. You can't stop me, John Laurinaitis sure as hell can't stop me. Nobody can stop me from destroying you, Brock. I may not have won King of The Ring.. but I'm still The King of Kings.
[Brock Lesnar] You know what? I'm tired of hearing your voice. It annoys me. If we are fired tonight, I promise you that I will find you. You can take a nice comfy hospital bed next to John Laurinaitis. It's the least I can do after what you've done to me. And who knows, I might even pay a visit to your family while you're at hospital. I've always wanted to see what kind of a house all your ass-kissing and backstage politics has managed to get you...
[Triple H] You won't have to find me, Brock. If we get fired tonight, You'll see me out in the parking lot waiting for you. I'm going to put a end to all of this... if it's not tonight then you can bet your ass it'll be soon. and When I do put a end to all of this, It'll also be a permanent end to you. All this you've worked for will be over.. all this holding up the company to get more money will be done... YOU will be done.
[John Laurinaitis] This... this is exactly why I'm out here. I'm not out here to fire anybody. No. While the Board doesn't agree with your actions, and they also disapprove of the damages they've had to pay out recently, you're both far too valuable to XWL as a whole. So with that being said, the Board has agreed that for one night only, that they're going to let you both off the leash. You'll have free reign to end this once and for all. You've put each other through hell these past couple of months, and we can't think of any better way for you both to settle your differences than next month at the Eye For An Eye Pay-Per-View.
*The crowd pops in a big way at the huge announcement.*
[Joey Styles] Wow what a huge announcement! I can't wait for that match!
[John Laurinaitis] And this won't be just any match. The Board has sanctioned Triple H vs Brock Lesnar to take place... inside HELL IN A CELL!
[Joey Styles] OH MY GOD! What an epic confrontation we have scheduled for Eye For An Eye!
*The crowd almost blows the roof off at this even bigger announcement. Triple H and Brock Lesnar don't flinch at all at this announcement, and instead stare a hole through each other.*
[Triple H] That's fine by me, John... but when I end Brock's career.. You'll only have yourself to blame.
*Lesnar breaks into a sadistic smirk and laughs for a few moments.*
*Lesnar then raises his mic and responds.*
[Brock Lesnar] John, you say that we're both too valuable to XWL to be fired, but I don't think you fully understand what you've just done. XWL will still lose one of us, and that will be Triple H.
*Brock turns to face Triple H with a purposeful expression. His words that follow show no emotion.*
[Brock Lesnar] At Eye For An Eye, we end this. And along with it, your career will be over and so will your wellbeing.
*Lesnar drops his mic and takes a step closer to Triple H. The Game responds in the same way so that both men are almost touching nose to nose. They're saying some things to each other which are now inaudible but it's clearly a hostile situation.*
[Michael Cole] After 5 months of anticipation, finally, these two men will settle their differences inside the satanic structure known as Hell In A Cell!
*The atmosphere is intense and the crowd are going crazy as the screen slowly fades away to to a graphic image promoting the newly announced matchup, followed by a commercial break.*
