As Redemption rolls on we are shown a quick replay of an XWL.com Exclusive from a few weeks back..

{{Winter}}
My name is Winter, not Summer, not Spring, not Fall, Winter. As of late the divas division has been cold, shriveling, dying like a leafless tree. Now it's in the best interest of most divas to rejuvenate and revive this tree, this division, but not mine. I don't want spring to come, I don't want the leaves to grow back, I'm perfectly content with watching my fellow divas morale fall deeper and deeper into the abyss of failure that they made this division become. I'm not here to cheer anyone up, nor am I here to bring life back to this division, I'm here to pluck each and every leaf off this dying tree not to watch them grow back more colorful and beautiful then ever but to make it easier to chop it down. I'm here to kill the divas division one diva at a time until there is only one standing, and why might you ask?... Because it's what I do.



Winter lets out a short laugh

{{Winter}}
The next three weeks shall be the calm before the storm, for the week after Supremacy is when I shall debut, when the plague shall begin. I'm not here to defeat every diva in this division, I'm here to end them... Fear the Winter.

We cut to the ring where we see Buggy Nova in the ring.

{{Michael Cole}}
Ladies and Gentleman as you just saw, XWL's newest Diva, Winter, has made it her goal to quote on quote "kill the divas division one diva at a time until there is only one standing". Well tonight "the calm before the storm" as she calls it is over, lets see what the mysterious Winter is capable of in the ring against Buggy Nova!



Winter's eerie theme begins to play as The English Beaty makes walks out onto the stage with what looks to be a glass of red wine in her hands.

{{Michael Cole}}
You see that Joey, Winter drinks wine, a drink made for real ladies unlike the rest of the trashy beer drinking divas this division has!

{{Joey Styles}}
Uh Cole... I don't think that's wine... That's way too dark to be wine.

{{Michael Cole}}
Well then what is it?

Winter makes her way down the ramp, taking a sip from her "wine", letting a drip of it slither down from the corner of her mouth.

{{Michael Cole}}
That's not... blood... is it?

Winter walks around the ring, placing her "wine" on the commentators table, running her hand through Cole's hair before entering the ring!

{{Michael Cole}}
Ugghh.. you're right Joey, that doesn't look like wine at all.. that looks like.. blood. Taste it Joey, tell us what it is!

{{Joey Styles}}
I'm not touching that!

Normal Divas Match 


Buggy Nova  Vs  Winter  

After a back and forth match Buggy is able to throw Winter to the outside of the ring! Winter slowly gets to her feet as the ref begins to count her out..1.....2......3.... Winter walks over to the commentary table and takes a large sip of her "wine"...4.....5... She enters the ring, dodges a punch from Nova, and sprays her "wine" all over Buggy's eyes!

{{Joey Styles}}
What was that?!?

{{Michael Cole}}
That Joey, was a blood mist!

Winter lifts Nova for a swinging side slam dropping her into a backbreaker!

{{Michael Cole}}
I believe she calls that one The Frostbite! Lets see if it's enough to keep down Nova!

The ref counts....1...2....3...!!!



Winter has her hand raised by the ref before exiting the ring, picking up her "wine" from the commentators table, and making her way back up the ramp before disappearing through the curtain. We then cut to a video package for our main event.

Normal Match

I
Joey Ryan Vs Austin Aries




*As Austin Aries celebrates on the top rope the match cuts off to a commercial break. As Redemption returns from commercial break, the theme of Christian could be heard playing throughout the arena as we see Christian pacing around in the ring a little bit with a microphone in his hand. After a little his theme begins to die down as he looks out into the crowd as some "Christian! Christian!" chants are heard throughout the arena. He doesn't know exactly how to react at first as he raises the microphone to speak.*



[[Christian]]
Well I haven't exactly asked for any of this, nor did I think I'd ever actually like hearing you all chant my name. But I admit, after hearing it. I like it. But it seems like it only came on because of what has happened as of lately with the new Intercontinental Champion Michael McGillicutty and Eve Torres. Both have seemed to want to take this title of me more then anyone and at last, they succeeded. I can't exactly complain about how it was done either because given the chance McGillicutty was given, I would've done the same thing. But the thing I will complain about is how Eve is using her powers to get that title off of me rather then doing what she signed up to do. Now I'm not gonna go begin some "#FireEve" campaign because I'm not a child, I won't use social media to get some fired and as a matter of fact, I don't exactly want Eve fired because I do feel she is a great addition. It's just then the name "Christian" is thrown into the hat she gets a bit mad, so it seems. It is pretty obvious to so it is not like anything has to be hidden.



[[Christian]]
I thought that the chances of me getting a rematch we slim to none because Eve, Eve would just be all "nope, denied" right off the back. But now this is why I'm out here because i forgot about one little detail. I have a rematch clause! And since I know approaching Eve would form some kinda of loop hole, I wanna talk to Vickie because she is the one with power who actually makes some sense around here. So please, if you would Vickie, would you all grace us with your prescience and grant me my rematch here tonight for next week because I want my rematch next week against Michael McGillicutty.



Eve's theme hits and out she walks out onto the stage. Christian dosen't look to pleased as it seemed he was expecting Vickie. The crowd boo Eve as she struts to the top of the stage before staying there.

Eve Torres
Sorry for the interruption but am I not the person you wanted to see? Did you want to speak to Vickie in person? She couldn't come out here because she was talking to Dolph who at the minute is her top priority. So I thought since you said such nice things about me I would just come out here and address everything you have said myself. Now Christian, I wasn't here last week because I was at the main XWL office. Do you know what that is? Have you ever been there? Probably not but I'm sure you might have seen it in pictures. Anyway I was there on official Redemption buisness regarding new talents and I addressed to them the point of superstars not showing me respect. Myself and Vickie are partners. It dosen't matter who is going to try and not show me respect whether it is you or even Steph, I don't really care. Recently Steph seems to think that because I am on a "Divas Contract" she can now control my and is my boss. Steph did you not know I was upgraded to an Executive Administrator? I have power now and if anything I am your boss. There can only be two divas with power here and that is myself and Vickie. So I would like it in future if you kept your buisness to yourself or you might just get a little more than you ever bargained for.

Eve Torres
Now Christian, you lost the title to Michael. You're right, I am going to decline you of your rematch at the moment. Many other superstars have not had a rematch and do they complain? No. Joey Ryan and Dolph Ziggler just to name two. You are not in charge of when and where you have title shots. If that was the case we would see everyone and anyone fighting for the world championship, we just cannot have that in this brand. Maybe Steph might take up your idea and let the divas fight for the title whenever she wants and we can all watch her run the divas division into the ground but I will not be such a fool. Myself and Vickie run the premiere show and the show which gains the most viewers. We want to put on the greatest show possible and in my eyes you getting a rematch is not good for the ratings, nobody would want to see it. You're just going to have to go to the back, suck it up and move on. Myself and Vickie will pick a new number one contender in the coming weeks. Now I have addressed your problems will you stop this? Week after week you find some reason to come out and moan. If you don't mind we have a show to do? So please get out of my ring.

[[Christian]]
Your ring? Since when has this been your ring? It never has because of three reasons. One, you barely even wrestle anymore so this isn't your ring. If anything, this is my ring, the same ring I've won week after week in. Secondly, when you have matches you don't win them. You never win them. You suck at winning. You were born to hide behind a business suit and glasses, hiding behind them trying to cover the multiple failures you've encountered. And lastly, I don't take orders from you. I want my rematch, and the reason others didn't get one is simple. Dolph Ziggler... He lost the belt on his first defense. Joey Ryan... He lost the belt on his first defense. And why defend them two? Is it because Ziggler and Vickie are playing around backstage while you and Joey are trading around some things that "Sleazy" people tend to carry? So from the look of it, those tow are the favorites around here when you've forgotten someone else. Davey Richards. He lost on his first defense. Then the next champion was myself and well, on my first defense I defended the title. Something no one since Wade Barrett could do. I defended it three times to be exact. Davey Richards, John Cena and Ezekiel Jackson.

Eve Torres
Christian when you're the boss then you can say it is your ring. There is no need to bring back my times in that ring. I beat nearly everyone there was to beat and I was dominant for weeks until Layla started cheating. But we don't need to go into details about that. That is long in the past. Christian you will respect me, everyone will respect me and you will take orders from me otherwise you will be fired from XWL permanently and I know you want to keep your job right? That's what I thought. Now look you lost the title and you are not getting a rematch. This is just a business decision and you are not going to be the next person to fight for the Intercontinental title and if you keep it up I'll make sure you never fight for a title here in XWL again.

[[Christian]]
My oh my, part of me wishes I never left Breakdown right now. Who would've thought I'd have to deal with someone like this? Listen Eve, tell me what to do all you want. I'll think about doing it. Then I'll think about how my real boss is Vickie Guerrero. Not all may like her, but still, she is my boss. She is your boss. I'd want to see you fire me, one of Redemption's top stars, just to see Vickie's reaction. After all that has happened, did she approve a Intercontinental Championship match after my match with Jackson? Did she approve that I don't have a rematch? Answer that, because she is your boss. She runs Redemption. She runs this show and these titles, not you. Got that? Answer that. And that isn't a request. That is a demand, Eve. You talk about how this is all business, if you want good business then I'd get another title match. I'd be the champion. And you, you wouldn't of screwed me.

Eve Torres
Actually Christian as much as you will hate to hear this Vickie agreed with my request of not granting you the rematch. So I guess you are just going to have to deal with it arn't you? Vickie may be the one in majority power but here on Redemption she agreed she needed someone with a great business mind, like myself. She wanted someone to help her bring Redemption even higher into success than when she had the reigns solo. Vickie is a great business partner and honestly I am sick and tired of this crap of you not respecting me. Vickie even stated that all the superstars have to listen to me now and if there is an issue which I cannot resolve then the matter will go to her. This is a matter I can resolve. Christian I have power and I am one of your bosses whether you like it or not. If you keep this up you will go back to Breakdown and we will bring in a much better talent to replace you.

Eve heads to the back as her theme hits and the crowds boo. Christian has his hands on his head obviously frustrated with what just went on. XWL fades out to the next segment of the show with Christian slowly walking up the ramp and to the back.

*The cameras cut to the backstage area where Paul Heyman is shown standing alongside Brock Lesnar.*



[Paul Heyman]
Ladies and gentlemen. Standing next to me, is the man who will compete in one of the most violent and brutal matches ever televised on Pay Per View come Eye For Eye on September 9th. Standing next to me, is the man who will once and for all put an end to the years of manipulation and backstabbing the XWL locker room has been subject to. Standing next to me, is the man who will end the career of Triple H.



[Paul Heyman]
A lot of you might respond to that by saying it's already been said before. Numerous times. But this time, is different. This time, Triple H will be going one on one with the most destructive force XWL has ever seen. My client Brock Lesnar, has not been defeated since he first attacked Triple H in April of this year. He has found a new purpose and a new fire within himself because of Triple H. So in some ways, Brock Lesnar is thankful to Triple H. Thankful for making Brock angry. Thankful for awakening the sleeping beast within Brock Lesnar. Without Triple H, Brock would still be a bit-part player here in XWL... but those days are gone. Brock Lesnar is now the star that he should be.



[Paul Heyman]
While Brock is thankful for that reason, the main emotion Brock feels towards Triple H is hatred. Pure hatred. Triple H is the man who threatened Brock's family... he threatened Brock's poor innocent wife and children. What kind of a human being does something like that? What kind of a man, breaks into another man's home, destroys the place and puts his wife and children at risk? A coward. Triple H knew he didn't stand a chance against Brock face to face so he turned his attention to Brock's family. He made it personal. In making it personal, Triple H has unknowingly cast his own death sentence. Come Eye For An Eye, Triple H will face the consequences of his actions and pay the price for everything he has done to Brock and his family.



[Paul Heyman]
You can act as confident as you want to Triple H, because we know that deep down you're fearing for your livelihood. You're afraid that you're into the final days of your long and illustrious career. And so you should be. When you feel the full force of Brock's wrath at Eye For An Eye inside the most satanic structure this business has to offer - Hell In A Cell - there will be-

*Heyman is cut off by Brock raising his hand slightly to silence him.*



[Brock Lesnar]
Triple H. I saw what you had to say earlier tonight. You say this match means more to you than the World title? I say who's even thinking about titles at this point? To me, that shows how far your head is up your ass. This is personal. After everything you've done to me, over the past couple of months, you don't deserve to be around anymore. You're a criminal and a coward. For that, you deserve to be in a hospital bed for the rest of your life, and inside Hell In A Cell, I plan to put you there.



[Brock Lesnar]
You said I have to end your career to stop you? Well I plan to do much more than that. I'll stop just short of killing you at Eye For An Eye because I'm tired of you and I'm tired of all your false claims and threats against me. Plus you threatened my family and put me in a hospital. It all ends in 3 weeks Hunter. I will bring the pain and there will only be one of us who is able to walk out of that arena of their own free will...



[Brock Lesnar]

...ME.

*Following Brock's cold words, the screen fades to black for a commercial break.

Non-Title Divas Match


Kelly Kelly Vs Layla El

The Divas Champion's theme blares throughout the arena as she remains on her knees with her hands raised up in the air and a victorious smirk on her face as she's met by unhappy fans booing.

{Michael Cole}
It's over! Layla wins!

{Joey Styles}
A valiant effort by Kelly Kelly, it's obvious she has worked hard to return better than ever despite Layla's remarks last week, but unfortunately it just wasn't her night.

{Michael Cole}
Did you really expect otherwise? Kelly Kelly is what that title used to represent, Layla is the present and the future model of what the Divas Championship truly stands for now. She's talented, she's sexy, and as wise as they come. She's a triple threat and that's why no one's been able to dethrone her for the last five months.

{Joey Styles}
But you can't deny that Kelly came awful close to scoring an upset, I take nothing away from Layla's win, it was no doubt proof why she is champion today, but Kelly gave her a run for her money, and I think even in defeat proved she's better than she's ever been.


The referee retrieves Layla's title then presents it to her and raises her other arm up high in the air as she looks down at the fallen Kelly Kelly, obviously proud of herself for ruining her return to the ring.




{Lillian Garcia}
Your winner, The Divas Champion, Layla!


{Michael Cole}
Now these fans might not be at all pleased with the outcome, but I love it! Kelly returned last week acting as if she was going to waltz back into things and target the Divas Championship, but Layla just proved that the division is much different than when Kelly reigned on top.

{Joey Styles}
Obviously it's different, but I still think Kelly did a great job. She nearly had Layla right where she wanted her, Layla's experience and skill helped her see it coming, but Kelly came that close to pulling off the upset, and I commend her for that.

{Michael Cole}
I'm not saying that Kelly didn't come close, but you gotta admit it's funny how she talked so big last week, and yet couldn't get the job done in a non-title bout.


Layla continues celebrating her win with her title and her hand up in the air embracing the hatred from these fans which just pisses them off even more.



She then looks down at Kelly once more, stands proudly over her for a second, then heads over to the ropes and steps through them to leave the ring, but stops halfway.



Layla turns her head, looking at Kelly, maybe her return last week has still left her annoyed despite proving why she's the one on top right, and Kelly isn't....and that's when she steps back into the ring, and walks over to the far side ordering for a microphone while Kelly just lies on the mat holding her neck in pain.


{Layla}
Aw, please give her a round of applause.

She places the microphone under her arm then begins to applaud Kelly with fans faintly joining in while most just stand confused.

{Layla}
Bravo, ya' know, when you returned last week, I had my doubts, I doubted if you really did train to come back, or if you were just there to promote your little magazine cover, but tonight you proved that without a shadow of a doubt, that I was....


A smirk comes across her face.


{Layla}
Right!


The boos from earlier pick back up at a louder tone.

{Layla}
You thought you could just waltz back into MY division and be XWL's golden girl again? Sorry to be bearer of bad news, well, actually it brings me quite a bit of pleasure, but things have changed, and the days were you come anywhere near this title, are over! You're still the pathetic little token blonde that you've always been, you didn't come back with a blaze of glory, you came back as the exact same person that's stunk up this division for far too long. You've got to be the most useless and talent-less diva this company has ever hired, and that's say something considering they used to hire every pretty face they could get their hands on...talent was dead last on the list when it came to being a diva, you needed to be pretty, you needed to have certain assets, and if you were in a Playboy? Well then it was as if you won the skank loterry...

{Layla}
But when I defeated AJ at Final Stand nearly five months ago, those days reached their end, and a new standard was set. Since becoming the top woman in this company XWL has realized that talent should and always takes prescient. Did you see the likes of Mschif even getting a chance at joining XWL? No, she didn't have the "looks" but thanks to me leading this division into a new era, there has been a wave of talent being signed not for their looks, not for their modeling background, but because they love this business, and want to prove we're just as talented as any man. That is what this division needs, women who work hard at being the best they can be, not settle for being what they've been. Kelly is just an example of someone that just doesn't get it, she's here for a paycheck, for exposure, and that is why she will never, and I mean EVER get her inferior hands on this title again.


"Layla sucks!" begins to be shouted.


{Layla}
Be quiet when I'm talking!

BOO!!

{Layla}
Speaking of what this division used to be, Michelle McCool used to reign supreme when it came to the Divas division, she used to be in every title match, she got all the opportunities, and racked up five reigns within a year and a half. Impressive, right?

The fans cheer lightly.

{Layla}
If you wanna call proving you can't sustain your spot as Divas Champion for five times, then sure say that's impressive....but let me assure you now, that at Eye For An Eye, I will put the final nail in the coffin of the career of Michelle McCool. She's fallen in a rut since our split over a year ago, and like a good friend, I'll put her out of her misery! I'll end the constant spree of embarrassment she puts herself through every time she steps into this ring, and most importantly make sure that the XWL fans won't have to hear"y'all" every fifteen seconds, y'all okay with that? Y'all ready for y'all's little favorite Michelle McY'all to call it quits, y'all?

She laughs amused by herself.

{Layla}
In three weeks we step inside that Steel Cage, and I'm looking forward to it, because like a little sick dog just before it's euthanized, you'll be trapped inside a cage, and when you're carried out of it, that'll be end of you! The end of you tagging along with me trying to keep yourself relevant at my expense, the end of you stealing my catchphrases, and the end of your career.


A devious smile forms on her face while the boos get even louder after that last remark.

{Layla}
Speaking of ending dated careers...

Her eyes creep downward toward Kelly, and then suddenly the sound of the microphone bouncing off the mat echos throughout the arena as she pulls Kelly up by her hair and sends her with a hard thud shoulder first into the ring post

{Joey Styles}
What the hell is she doing?!


Kelly's loud and painful screams sound in the arena as she falls down to the mat holding her shoulder in clear pain. Layla kneels down grabbing the microphone just one last time as she brushes Kelly's hair back with her free hand.

{Layla}
Don't worry Kelly, it'll all be over soon, and then you can do all the Maxim shoots you want, yay!


Kelly struggles as Layla begins to pull her up to her feet, Kelly's trying to fight it but she's in too much pain and just when Layla finally pulls her up....








The fans burst into a wave of cheers as Michelle McCool's theme blasts throughout the P.A and Layla's jaw drops as she wasn't expecting Michelle here tonight.


{Joey Styles}
Oh thank goodness!

{Michael Cole}
What's she doing here! This isn't Breakdown!


Layla tosses Kelly to the mat letting go of her then turns her attention to the stage ready for a fight, but just then the cheers get even louder as McCool is spotted hoping the barricade from inside the crowd and slides into the ring, a huge "Turn around!" chant starts up, and Layla cautiously begins to turn, and that's when she screams out as she's speared to the mat with great impact and McCool begins to unload a hard series of right hand hands with no sign of letting up. Her frustrations are finally being let loose, she tried to take all the abuse Layla had to give, but she's reached her limit and now she's ready to beat some sense into her former BFF.

{Michael Cole}
Someone get her off of her!

{Joey Styles}
No way! Layla had this coming, she just was about to try to end Kelly Kelly's career, thank god Michelle was here to stop her.

{Michael Cole}
Two wrongs don"t make a right, Joey!


Michelle finally lets up, tosses Layla hard into the corner and she lands seated in the bottom of the turnbuckle. Michelle then backs up, the fans cheer knowing she's going for that running knee of hers, and just when she's backed into the far opposite corner, she comes charging with a wave of momentum, but Layla suddenly gets on her knees pleading with Michelle just before she could make contact. "Please 'Chelle! I'm sorry!" she exclaims, the fans boo knowing this can't be genuine, while Michelle seems torn, part of her wants to believe this is real, but the other part of her tells her this is just one of Lay's shady tricks....Layla continues to plead expressing how she was wrong, how she wants them to be Lay-Cool again, how they can be flawless together, everything she can say to keep from getting her ass handed to her, but then suddenly, Michelle extends her hand, Layla looks up with a gleam in her eye, accepts Michelle's hand and gets pulled up to her feet.


{Joey Styles}
What's going on?


Layla seems elated, she extends her arms for a hug, then just as Michelle moves forward for the embrace, Layla swings her hand back for a slap, ONLY FOR MICHELLE TO CATCH HER HAND! She knew better and turned Layla's own game against her, Layla tries to jerk her hand away but Michelle has a tight grip, Layla tries to kick her, but all at once Michelle lets go of her hand, catches her foot now, then spins her around and hooks her arms for the Wings of Love! Layla screams before she's pushed off the mat and lifted high in the air, but she's so high that she's able to shift her weight to where she can just barely land behind McCool and hightail it out of the ring.


{Joey Styles}
Layla manages to to run away, but at Eye For An Eye in three weeks there will be no running, she'll be trapped inside that Steel Cage with her former friend, and I can't wait until that night.

{Michael Cole}
She runs away from no one.

{Joey Styles}
Then why did she just dash out of that ring just as quickly as she could?

{Michael Cole}
Because she was cheaply attacked by that no good Michelle McCool!

{Joey Styles}
You really don't see the irony there?

{Michael Cole}
....Shut up.

{Joey Styles}
You win this round, Cole.


Layla collapses down onto the mat as she looks at Michelle who's now checking on Kelly, but her eyes never leave the ramp as the two interlock gazes, Layla just avoiding a serious message, and Michelle proving she's done playing nice. Her theme then starts back up as she grabs Layla's title off the canvas and holds it up in the air to a pop from the crowd.




{Joey Styles}
McCool saves Kelly from possible injury, and sends a message to the Divas Champion, I think her career has been reinvigorated. She seems more focused than ever, and the fans certainly love to cheer for her. Then again at this point they'll probably root for anyone to dethrone Layla.

{Michael Cole}
Blah blah, just like Layla said, Michelle is past her prime, and even then she wasn't that good, I think it's time to hang up her boots and call it a career.

{Joey Styles}
Well I think she's got a lot of years left in her, and many more reigns as well. But as for their Steel Cage match at Eye For An Eye, anything can and surely will happen, but the question is, who will walk out of that cage as the Divas Champion? Only one way to find out, be sure to order Eye For An Eye and watch it all go down!

Michelle then helps Kelly up, and together they raise Layla's Divas Championship up in the air to an even bigger positive response from the XWL fans. Layla's going livid at them touching her title, shouting "Get your hands off my title!" while the two beautiful blondes just smile at her which just annoys her even more. Layla glares from across the ramp, shouts "This isn't over!" and then we get one last look at McCool and Kelly before we fade away to a commercial break.

*Triple H's theme blasts throughout the arena, signaling the end of this very competitive match as The Game makes it to his feet before getting his arm raised by the referee. He pulls his arm away after a few seconds and scales the nearby turnbuckle, pointing at himself, shouting something that isn't picked up by the camera. He stays standing on the second turnbuckle for a few moments before hopping off. Little does he know that Michael has made it to his feet and is firmly holding the Money in the Bank briefcase in his hands. Triple H unknowingly turns around, getting blasted with the briefcase and falling to the canvas. Michael is booed loudly by the live audience in attendance and responds with a loud, “Thank you!” He looks down at Triple H's almost lifeless carcass and his expression changes, almost as if a light bulb went off above his head. He forcefully raises Triple H to his feet, setting him up in a DDT like position. Michael smirks as he throws Triple H's arm over his head before hooking the leg and almost in an instant, what he plans on doing becomes apparent. Before he can continue with this post match assault...*



*The theme of Captain Charisma himself, Christian, begins to play and he spends no time making his way to the ring, forcing Michael to release Triple H and focus his attention on Christian. He slides into the ring and ducks a clothesline from Michael before bouncing off the ropes and leveling him with a huge tackle. Christian unloads lefts and rights on his rival, most of which are managed to be blocked. Michael pushes Christian off of him and quickly makes it to his feet, only to be tackled yet again. This time Michael is able to turn the tables and return the favor by unloading his own set of lefts and rights. Christian manages to push Michael off of himself, only to get hit with a dropkick to the knee when he makes it to his feet. With Christian down on one knee, Michael quickly runs to the ropes and ricochets off of them with as much force as he possibly can, attempting to hit Christian with his signature McGillicutter. Just when it seemed like it was lights out for Christian, he is able to spin out of it and hook Michael's arms for the Killswitch. Michael is able to push Christian into the turnbuckle at the last second before running at him in an attempt to hit was looked like a spear but Christian was able to jump over it with ease, causing Michael to collide with the middle turnbuckle. Michael falls onto the mat, still holding his jaw, as Christian walks over to the nearest turnbuckle and begins setting up Michael for his signature spear. The second Michael makes it to his feet, Christian runs towards him at full speed, in hopes of hitting his spear on the third generation superstar. Michael is able to sidestep it, forcing Christian to spear Triple H, who had just made it back to his feet, instead. Michael grabs his Intercontinental Championship and the Money in the Bank briefcase before sliding out the ring and walking up the ramp. Christian's body language tells a story and you can see that he inadvertently speared Triple H. Christian turns around and sees Michael on the stage with a huge smile on his face, before mouthing something that isn't picked up on camera. Redemption fades to a commercial break with Christian pissed off in the ring and with Michael holding up the Intercontinental Championship and the Money in the Bank briefcase above his head.*

Redemption returns and we are brought backstage where we see XWL's newest acquisition, Robert Roode looking into a camera as he is about to part the curtain and enter the ring for his match. The crowd gives him a cheer heavy mixed reaction to the newcomer.

{{Robert Roode}}
For those of you who don't know I'm "The Canadian Enforcer", I'm a money making machine, but most importantly I'm Robert Roode. Remember that name now because that's the name that you'll all be chanting tonight after I prove myself against not only a former Intercontinental Champion, not only the man who still rightfully has a rematch clause for said Championship Eve Torres, but also a fellow Canadian and a great competitor, Christian... Roode pauses for a moment as the crowd cheers Now it's no rumor that everyone expects Christian to come out the victor tonight, he's beaten some of both Breakdown and Redemption's greatest wrestlers and top stars, he's won the Intercontinental Championship and should still be Champion had he not been screwed by the Ultimate.. ly bad Opportunist Michael McGillicutty, and to top it all of he revolutionized tag team wrestling back in the WWE! And Robert Roode? What is his notable accomplishments here in the XWL as of late, or ever for that matter? Made Jeff Hardy tap out?.. Exactly. So to say that I'm the underdog would be an understatement. But I'm okay with that, I'm okay with being given the opportunity to prove everyone wrong, because that's exactly what I'm going to do tonight. And once I prove myself against Christian I pray that Vickie lets me have a piece of Cody Rhodes, that's right Cody you might not even know my name but I'm calling your ass out! It's no secret that James Storm and I go way back, and what you did to him after he hit you with that Last Call and pinned you ONE, TWO, THREE was unforgivable, and although the next Pay Per View might not be Unforgiven it is Eye for an Eye and Cody if I know anything about The Cowboy James Storm then you'll be getting yours sooner rather than later! You deserve an old fashion beatdown for breaking that bottle over his head and if Storm doesn't enforce that ass whoopin' I will! Christian's luck ran out when he was booked against me and Cody's luck ran out the moment he picked up that beer bottle, so as my buddy James Storm says, Christian, Cody, sorry about your damn luck! 

The crowd cheers as Roode's theme begins to play and we are brought to ringside...


ROBERT ROODE vs. CHRISTIAN
NORMAL MATCH
























Robert Roode's "No More Fear" theme plays signaling his victory as the ref raises his hand in the air. The crowd goes wild as Roode climbs the turnbuckle to soak in the cheers as we fade to commercial.

XWL's Redemption cuts backstage to where Randy Orton is sitting, thinking about his earlier loss when Scott Stanford comes in with a mic to ask a few questions...



[Scott] Randy, can I have a moment of your time please?

[Randy Orton] Go ahead.

[Scott] Earlier tonight you competed in a triple threat match for the X-Treme Championship and what in some people are calling a huge upset, you lost. How are you feeling right now?

[Randy Orton] Yeah, I lost. There's no way around it, there's nothing I can say that will hide the fact or make myself feel better about it because at the end of the day I strive to be the best I can be and there's no point in lying to myself. I went into the match a little cocky and I'm willing to bet that everyone would agree with me when they say I dominated, RKO's left right and center but I just couldn't get the pin, you take out someone and another guy flies in from the side, you've gotta have eyes in the back of your head for those kinds of matches and when I was on the outside, fishing for a weapon to break Zeke's back with, I got distracted, I lost sight of what was going on inside the ring and Zeke got the victory.



[Randy Orton] Say what you want about the guy, he was afraid of me before the match, you saw it in his eyes like a little puppy he was terrified to take me on...However, he did what he said he would and what he does every single time, he defended that title and no one, not even me can take that fact away from him. I will say this though, one on one, he wouldn't stand a chance in hell. Would have, should have, could have...At the end of the night he's still the X-Treme Champion and he'll live to fight another day...

[Scott] Thank you Randy and quickly before I go there's another matter that I'd like to bring to your attention, last week you were attacked backstage by the Kings of Wrestling, the duo of Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro, any plans on what you're gonna do about that?



[Randy Orton]
I'm glad you asked, you're damn right I have a plan and the plan is very simple...Find them and hurt them...They've run rampant on Redemption for weeks now, attacking anyone as they see fit and I know I'm not one to preach against that but on this occasion? They've attacked the wrong guy. In their own little world they call themselves the kings of wrestling but when they jumped me from behind they stepped into MY world and in here I'm the king of everything, pain, suffering, torture and revenge. They won't see it coming but when The Viper strikes, he'll take not one but both of them out. Permanently. They can run from me sure, but I'll find them, I'll hunt them down and make them regret ever crossing...Randy Orton.












[Kassius Ohno]
We're right here Randy...

[Antonio Cesaro]
We don't do running...

And with that, the kings of wrestling burst onto the screen from the side and begin to pummel into an unsuspecting Randy Orton. Orton holds his own, jumping up from his seat and fighting back with stiff right hands but the numbers game is just too much! Antonio gets thrown to the side causing Orton to turn his attention to Ohno but he makes a huge mistake of turning his back as Cesaro completely takes him out of the game with a big low blow from behind! Ohno regains his composure before grabbing a chair from the side of the room and bringing it down hard on Ortons skull! He's busted wide open for the second week in a row as he crumbles to the locker room floor only to be met with further boots from the kings of wrestling! They finally let up on the attack before adjusting themselves and proclaiming...

[Kassius Ohno]
Kings...

[Antonio Cesaro]
Reign...

[Kassius Ohno and Antonio Cesaro]
Supreme...

XWL's Redemption cuts to a backstage area where two familiar faces are seen bickering.

{Nikki Bella}
Brie, you should have been more helpful in my match against Kaitlyn.


{Brie Bella}
Well, excuse me, Miss I think I can beat Kaitlyn with ease. It’s not my fault you couldn’t get the job done like how I always destroy my opponents.


{Nikki Bella}
What! Ever! I’m the only reason you’ve been winning.


{Brie Bella}
Really Nikki? I know you didn’t just say that.


{Nikki Bella}
Uhh, YAAAA Brie!


Suddenly the bickering between the twins stop as they see Kelly Kelly walking down the hall the backstage area.




{Brie Bella}
Oh My God Nikki! Look who we have here. It’s Smelly Kelly, oops I mean Kelly Kelly.


{Nikki Bella}
The pleasure is ours, Smelly, I mean Kelly.


{Brie Bella}
Did you see her match tonight against Layla, Nikki?



{Nikki Bella}
I did Brie, and I must say, the action was “riveting”. Yikes.


Kelly looks annoyed to say at the least but decides against leaving it, before turning around and speaking...



[Kelly Kelly]
You hyenas can stand there, barking and laughing all you like but at the end of the day, in my first match back I took the Divas Champion to the limit and had her down and out on more than one occasion, Layla is nothing more than a cheating little baby who cries and moans when things don't go her way but acts like a big shot when they do...She even tried to attack me after the match but was unsuccessful, bad things happen to bad people and I can guarantee you both that just like her...Your karma will catch up with you. Also, you two aren't exactly ones to brag are you? Two of you out there and you still can't beat my girl Kaitlyn, pretty sad...Don't you think?


{Nikki Bella}
Brie, who does this little bitch think she is? First of all, Kaitlyn got lucky, I was kinda distracted. There is no way on a normal day that Kaitlyn could ever beat me. Second of all, the only reason you came back to XWL was to promote your ugly Maxim cover.



(Brie Bella}
Exactly, Nikki. This little blonde bimbo doesn't even deserve to have to have a match against the champion while we're stuck having to beat the likes of Michelle McCool. You know Nikki, I think Kelly has been sleeping with the whole locker room again.


[Kelly Kelly]
Bimbo? You two better watch your mouths, jealousy is an ugly trait. If you're mad about me having a match with the Divas champion then go tell Vickie Guerrero or Mick Foley, step up to the plate and take holds of your careers rather than whispering behind everyone's back! You want a big chance to show how good you really are? How about you take me on next week, in a two on one handicap match!


Both twins begin to laugh in Kelly Kelly's face.




{Nikki Bella}
Kelly, please. You actually think you have a chance against Brie and I.


{Brie Bella}
We accept your challenge Kelly. This should be good Nikki, we get to put this skinny ass blonde bimbo, who wears a thousand pounds of make-up, in her place. Don't think you're going to get as much offense as you did with Layla.


{Nikki Bella}
I want you to do me one favor between now and next week, please practice how to run the ropes. I'm sure you have all the fans out there cringing at the sight of your rope running.




[Kelly Kelly]
As long as you practice your excuses for when you lose...I'll see you girls next week, I'll be the one with my arm raised in victory.


Kelly turns on her heels to walk away but all of a sudden she flies to the floor in a heap as she is met with a big forearm to the back by Nikki Bella! Before long both of the twins are booting into the downed Kelly Kelly with ferocious intensity, Kelly is screaming out in agony, loud enough for officials to burst onto the screen and pull the twins off who can be heard shouting at Kelly in the distance, Kelly lies on the floor writhing in pain as the officials check on her...

{Brie and Nikki Bella}: Loser! See you next week.

[Joey Styles] And this next match up is set to be between Matt Classic and Kaval. Kaval is a pretty impressive high flyer, but Matt Classic brings a very experienced style of wrestling to the table in this one.

[Michael Cole] Who cares about Kaval, he's done nothing. But Classic, well he's done something, he's tried to prove himself to be an ancient legend, but I don't buy any of that.

[Joey Styles] Kaval is a great performer and-

[Michael Cole] But he's just that, a performer.

Normal Match


Matt Classic Vs Kaval

*As the bell rings twice the theme of Matt Classic begins to play through the PA system the crowd cheer for the imminent arrival of Classic*



[Michael Cole] And here he comes, Matt Classic is set to arrive! Woo, now this would actually be exciting if it was, well, you know, not Matt Classic!

[Joey Styles] You need to respect the huge wrestling background Matt Classic has, Cole, or he might just snap you like a twig.

*When Matt Classic walks out onto the stage the crowd cheer again and acknowledging the fans Classic raises his arm up giving a short wave to the fans as he walks down to the ring*

[Michael Cole] Look at that, even with his 8 decades of experience he still hasn't realized the fans are idiots!

[Joey Styles] Maybe because they aren't. The only idiot I see here is.. Well, I think you know who.

[Michael Cole] Matt Classic?

[Joey Styles] No you.

Lilian Garcia: This following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from Parts Unknown, weighing in at an unknown weight, The Mysterious Matt Classic!

*As Classic is half way down the ramp, he spots a fan in the front row wearing a Matt Classic mask and walks over to him and offers him a high five and the fan responds to him with a stiff punch to Classic's face, taken off guard Classic hits the floor as his theme suddenly stops, then the fan removes his mask revealing himself to be Damien Sandow*

[Michael Cole] What a smart move by Sandow! Did you know he also took out Santino earlier?

[Joey Styles] Of course I did.. We both watched it.. You know what, whatever, but what Sandow just did was.. He disguised himself as a fan?

[Michael Cole] I know, it was brilliant!

[Joey Styles] That's certainly not the word I would use for it.

*Sandow jumps over the barricade and mounts Classic and begins to club away at him with left and rights as the crowd boo intensely at Sandow's actions*

[Michael Cole] Look at him pound away at Classic! There you go Sandow, knock the experience into him!

[Joey Styles] This is just wrong, somebody better put a stop to this.

[Michael Cole] If you really want this stopped, why don't you stop it yourself?

[Joey Styles] Well Cole, maybe it's because I'm not a wrestler.

*Damien grabs Classic by the head and rolls him into the ring before climbing onto the ring apron and entering the ring and pulled Classic up to his feet and grabbing him by the mask again trying to pull it off as Classic resists*

[Michael Cole] Rip the mask off! Show the world who this phony is! You can do it, Damien!

[Joey Styles] Matt Classic is Matt Classic, he is no one else, Cole.

*Sandow keeps pulling away at the mask until Classic headbutts Sandow square on the nose, then headbutts him again, staggering Sandow before hitting him with his patented Judo chop, sending Sandow to the mat, but he quickly gets back up to his feet*

[Michael Cole] Oh no!

[Joey Styles] And there he goes, come on Classic, fight back with all your strength!

*Classic then kicks Sandow in the gut and plants Damien with a Body Slam and signals the Claw to the crowd and grasps onto Sandow’s shoulder squeezing tight to apply more pressure*

[Michael Cole] Hey, he can't do that! Why is he attacking Sandow for no reason like this?

[Joey Styles] No reason? Damien Sandow tried to jump him! I think that's a pretty good reason.

[Michael Cole] How dare you suggest Damien Sandow would jump someone.

[Joey Styles] Cole, we just saw him do it..

*As Classic continues to apply the pressure on his Shoulder Claw, squeezing tighter and tighter as Sandow screams out in pain, kicking at the mat and trying to grasp onto anything he possibly can but to no avail*

[Michael Cole] This is just wrong right here, I can't believe you would applaud someone who is purposely trying to hurt someone like this.

[Joey Styles] But Sandow just did the same thi- I'm not going to argue with you.

*Continuing to kick and scream Sandow starts to swing at Classics face with forearms hitting him in the forehead a few times then grabs onto Classic’s mask at the mouth and pulls on it, ripping the sections underneath the mouth off forcing Classic to quickly let go of the hold and roll out the ring before Sandow could remove anymore of it*

[Michael Cole] There it is! A piece of the mask is off! Well.. That's better than nothing! Look at Classic run off though... He doesn't want to be exposed as the fraud he is.

[Joey Styles] Or maybe he doesn't want to lose his mask because it means a lot to him, something I doubt happens to you or Damien Sandow very often at all.

[Michael Cole] Well I don't know why I would ever wear a mask-

[Joey Styles] I meant caring about something.

*With Classic backing up the ramp Sandow remains standing in the ring showing off the segment of Matt Classic's mask in his hand before bowing to the annoyance of the crowd and then Cartwheels to the centre of the ring as the crowd continue to boo the Intellectual Saviour*

[Michael Cole] Well, it appears Damien Sandow has won this one! Maybe next time he'll get the whole thing..

[Joey Styles] I can only hope he doesn't..



*As Sandow's theme begins to play he stands proudly in the ring as Redemptions fades out to a commercial*

[Joey Styles] He just looks despicable.

*A graphic for our upcoming main event featuring two of the six Elimination Chamber participants for the World Heavyweight Championship at Eye for an Eye shows, Dolph Ziggler vs John Cena.*

[Michael Cole] It's time for justice to be served!

[Joey Styles] ...What?

[Michael Cole] My main man “DZ” as the kids like to call him is about to lay the beating of a lifetime down on John Cena, and rightfully so!

[Joey Styles] I hate to put it to you this way, but your “main man DZ” is in for the fight of his life tonight against Cena.

[Michael Cole] Oh please! This is just a warmup match for Dolph, it's nothing! He's the natural! He's just softening up Cena for the Elimination Chamber.

[Joey Styles] Yeah yeah, you keep running your mouth like that and we'll see whose hand is raised at the end of the night.



*The theme of the leader of the CeNation blasts over the PA system as John Cena himself bursts through the curtain with his arms open looking as pumped up as ever, he walks on the stage and winks at the camera before saluting the crowd and running down the ramp.*



*He slides into the ring at a fast pace and throws his arms up in the air with his signature hand pose, he begins to run off the ropes and then he flicks his hat into the crowd. He takes off his shirt and throws it into the crowd too, he takes off his dog tags and kisses them before handing them over at ringside. He begins to psych himself and the crowd up for the upcoming match until...*

[Vickie Guerrero] EXCUSE ME!

*The positive vibe from the fans instantly changes as the Redemption General Manager walks out onto the stage to a loud negative ovation.*

[Vickie Guerrero] I said... EXCUSE ME!!

*All this does is cause more boo's towards Vickie, she taps her foot impatiently waiting to get the crowd to calm down.*

[Vickie Guerrero] Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome John Cena's opponent. He is your next World Heavyweight Champion come Eye for an Eye, he is the one and only Showoff, Dolph Ziggler!



*On cue, the theme of Dolph Ziggler plays as another loud negative reaction is heard for one sixth of the Elimination Chamber, Vickie steps aside and claps as she's seemingly the only person clapping for Dolph. Dolph struts onto the stage with one of his pink T-Shirts hanging from his trunks and shades on his head, he turns his back to the camera and runs his hands through his hair and does his signature hair flick taunt and points towards Cena.*



[Dolph Ziggler] HOW DAMN GOOD AM I?!

*Dolph walks down to the ring as Vickie follows, he slides onto the apron and stares into the crowd with a glare. Once he steps into the squared circle he locks eyes with Cena and takes a step back to the corner, he removes his shirt and shades and begins to do modified dips on the turnbuckle waiting for the bell to ring. Once the referee is ready he calls for the bell.*

---

Ding Ding Ding!

---

The bell rings as Cena and Dolph circle the ring, they lock up and Cena forces Dolph to the corner who sticks his head under the top rope causing the referee to break it. He stays under that rope for a few seconds to catch a breather and to get into the head at Cena who looked frustrated. Dolph gets back in and they lock up yet again.



Dolph and Cena struggle in the lockup but Cena's upper body strength brings Dolph to the ropes as he ducks under them again causing the referee to back Cena up. As Dolph looks at the crowd with a smirk and points at his head shouting “You've gotta have brains!” Cena grabs Dolph by the leg and pulls him from the ropes, Dolph clings onto them with both hands but Cena just drops Dolph. He waits for him to get up and begins a flurry of strikes to the head and stomach which Dolph is finding hard to reverse, he has Dolph groggy and hooks him and hits a fishermans suplex. Cena covers but it's only a two count, when Dolph gets up Cena puts him in a headlock. Dolph moves back and uses the momentum from the ropes to throw Cena to the opposite side and in return Cena just drops Dolph with a clothesline. Dolph gets right up and out of nowhere he hits a desperation dropkick to Cena's leg making him fall to a knee. Dolph runs for the name-dropper but Cena throws him against the ropes, Cena ducks looking for a back body drop but Dolph grabs onto the ropes and spins around and struts across the ring.



Cena stands there in confusion as Dolph struts to the turnbuckle as once again only Vickie is clapping, Dolph gets to the turnbuckle and runs his hands through his hair and flicks his arms out with his signature pose yet again.



He looks at Cena with a smirk, but what he doesn't expect is Cena putting an end to the games as he runs over to Dolph and throws him to the corner. He knee's him in the stomach twice and throws him out of the corner, he runs off the ropes and hits a huge bulldog and once he gets to his feet he lets out a huge scream which pumps up the fans. Dolph struggles back to his feet and Cena goes for a punch but Dolph blocks it with his arm and shouts “WAIT!” The fans go silent at Dolph shouting that and then all of a sudden he pokes Cena in the eye and locks in a headlock! A wide grin appears on the face of Dolph as he wrenches the headlock knowing he outsmarted Cena but that doesn't really make a difference because Cena just picks up Dolph!



He walks over to the ropes and simply dumps Dolph to the outside mat with a thud. He holds his back in agony as Vickie comes over to check on him, the referee makes Vickie move back when she tries to help Dolph to his feet. She shouts at the referee but of course it doesn't stop him from ordering her back, Cena heads out of the ring but Dolph was playing possum. As Cena is making his way through the ropes Dolph springs up to the apron and dropkicks Cena in the head in one fell swoop. Cena crumbles to the ground as Dolph begins to stomp him, Dolph is as cocky as ever as he puts his hands on the announcers table and climbs up with a headstand on it! His showing off costs him dearly as Cena gets back up and punches him right in the face mid headstand causing Dolph to fall onto Joey and Cole. Cena rolls in and out of the ring to break the 10 count then walks behind the table and picks up a bottle of water and smacks Dolph in the face causing water to fly everywhere. Dolph stumbles over to the steps as Cena throws him into the ring. Dolph is on his knee's trying to get back up as Cena scales the turnbuckle, he stands on the very edge of the turnbuckle and dives off for his bulldog leg drop but Dolph dodges it at the last second!



Dolph lays still after using all of his energy on the dodge while Cena is in pain from the hard fall, Dolph manages to get back to his feet and capitalizes it with a stiff dropkick to Cena's back when he's sitting. Cena falls back down to the mat and locks him in a chinlock, Dolph shows off and does a headstand while holding the move to apply even more pressure.



Dolph turns the headstand into a bridge but after a long time in the sub Cena's will to not give up prevails as Dolph lets go out of frustration. Cena is still down on the mat as Dolph elbow drops him twice in a row and then drops a third one to the heart of Cena, he sits down at Cena and begins to do some sit ups which drives the fans crazy.



This calls for some huge “LET'S GO CENA!” chants as Dolph gets back to his feet, Cena turns over and grabs Dolph's leg making him fall to his stomach. He hooks the leg for the STF but before he can hook his arms across the neck of Dolph he crawls over to the ropes in a panic. Cena pulls Dolph to the center of the ring and locks in the STF fully! The fans cheer as Dolph is on the verge of tapping, Vickie walks up on the steps and shouts at the referee as a distraction. He walks over to Vickie and shouts at her to get down but she just argues with the referee... DOLPH TAPS OUT! But the referee doesn't see it! Cena lets go of the move when he see's Dolph tapping and notices the referee didn't call it, he walks over to the referee and Dolph runs into him from behind knocking down the ref. He pulls Cena back with an O'Connor roll and he holds Cena's shorts for leverage but the referee is still down! Cena powers out of the move anyway and once Dolph gets to his feet Cena ducks a clothesline from him and runs off the ropes with a HUGE flying shoulder tackle.



Dolph gets back up and Cena drops him with a 2nd shoulder tackle, Dolph tries yet again for a clothesline but Cena ducks it and slams him with a proto bomb. The referee is back up to his feet now as the things are looking up for Cena, he throws his hand in the air as the fans know what's coming next.



He turns around to do his “You can't see me!” taunt but Vickie climbs on the apron yet again! But this time she has taken off her high heel and throws it across the ring at Cena, Cena simply moves to the side as the shoe misses. A chuckle can be heard from Cena as Vickie takes off her other high heel and throws it at Cena and he ducks it for a second time. The two failed interference attempts is the last straw as the referee walks over and shouts “YOU'RE OUT!” and points to the stage! The fans erupt as the GM is escorted from ringside. Cena walks to the ropes and waves at Vickie as she storms up the ramp looking furious, but this has given Dolph time to recover as he dropkicks Cena making him fall to the outside. Cena gets back to his feet and Dolph jumps from the apron onto Cena's back with a sleeper hold!



Cena struggles for a few seconds but uses the environment to his advantage when he runs to the steps and slams Dolph side first into them. Cena slides into the ring to break the count as Dolph lays in agony on the floor.



The referee leans outside the ropes to check on Dolph but the crowd is shocked, once Cena turns around from where Dolph was is drilled right in the face with a Beautiful Disaster Kick from CODY RHODES! Nobody knows where he came from but his intentions are clear, Cena is laid out flat on the mat as the referee turns around in shock and calls for the Disqualification to throw the match out.

*Cody begins to throw the boots to Cena as he stomps him furiously over and over with no remorse as he calls for Dolph. Though still feeling a bit of pain from the collision with the steps, Dolph slides into the ring and the two together stomp on John Cena. It's then they continue to work in unison, lifting him up and throwing him off the ropes as he bounces back and they nail a double hip toss which is followed by more stomps. Cena is really getting the life taken out of him, but he's able to catch one of the feet! It's Cody's and he pulls it out from under him. Cena regroups quickly and springs to his feet, taking down Ziggler with a Lou Thesz and begins to punch, but the numbers game again catches up to Cena as he's ripped off of Ziggler by Cody and then Ziggler is quick to grab him from behind, holding his arms back so that Cody can deliver multiple shots.*

[Joey Styles] Look at this, those two can't take Cena one on one so they team up against him! Cody made it obvious last week when he got himself DQ'd against Cena, and now Cody interferes in this match!

[Michael Cole] This isn't proving anything, except there's strength in numbers. This is very strategic by the both of them.

[Joey Styles] There's nothing strategic about this, I'm sure if Cena had a partner and were to do the same thing to one of them, you would shout injustice!

[Michael Cole] I don't think so.

*Ziggler lets go of John from behind and he staggers, clearly groggy as they both run the ropes and both attack Cena, Rhodes taking out his legs and Ziggler taking out his upper-body! The stomping then resumes, but just after a few stomps it's cut short..*



[Joey Styles] Oh my goodness, things are about to pick up. It didn't look good for Cena before, but now, I don't want to watch this anymore!

[Michael Cole] Good because you shouldn't. You couldn't handle the levels of awesomeness these three men are about to deliver to John Cena!

*Both Rhodes and Ziggler stop at the sound of the theme song, not sure what to expect from Ryan. It's at this time, Joey Ryan doesn't hesitate to show off at the top of the ramp, but once he is done doing so, Ryan runs to the ring and slides in. Rhodes and Ziggler are about to jump him but it appears Joey assures them he means no harm as all three begin to stomp on Cena. It's then Cody motions to the other two of the group, who lift up Cena and it appears they're setting him up for the Cross-Rhodes. But Cena is swiftly able to counter it and push off Rhodes. The three lock eyes with Cena and John knows it's not going to be easy if he wants to fight out of this, but he can't back down. Cena decides to strike first, lunging at Joey Ryan with a strong right that actually takes him off his feet. He sends another one, but this punch doesn't have the strong lunge behind it that just knocks Cody back a little and finally he nails Ziggler with a third that knocks him back too. John Cena charges at Joey Ryan and knocks him down with a clothesline as well!*

[Joey Styles] Wow! Even with the odds three on one, John Cena has found a way to fight back!

[Michael Cole] Psh, let's see how long that lasts. His super powers are bound to wear off pretty soon!

[Joey Styles] Shut up.

*Cena is on a roll, but it's cut short because Dolph nails a running bulldog from behind on Cena that takes him off his feet. John also lands near the corner which isn't good for him, as he tries to stand up, it's clear he has no shot, as the three tee off on him in the corner. Cena slowly sinks lower and lower in the corner until it transitions from punches to kicks in the corner. John once in awhile is able to fire back a quick punch, but he can't really mount offense. It's then suddenly Dolph must have an idea, he asks for Cena to be lifted to his feet and upon doing so, Rhodes and Ryan hold him up towards the ropes. Ziggler steps onto the apron, what is he looking for?*

[Joey Styles] I don't like the looks of this, what can he be looking to do to Cena?

[Michael Cole] I like the looks of this. Hopefully it's something really painful!

[Joey Styles] You're sick.

[Michael Cole] No I'm not, what symptoms do I have?

[Joey Styles] Too many.

*Dolph Ziggler grabs Cena, not just in any way, but in a sleeper hold! Ziggler is using the ropes to make sure Cena can't escape his sleeper hold. He's wrenching his neck and John Cena seems to be giving out as Cody and Ryan slap a high five and Ziggler is clearly showing off, going from high pressure to low pressure and back more times than necessary just for the sake of it. But one time he makes the mistake of going too low, and Cena is able to somehow muster up the strength to throw Ziggler off the ropes and to the outside. But it's then Cena again has no chance to mount any offense as Joey Ryan connects with a Superkick to the jaw of Cena! Cena grabs his jaw, and as Ziggler is still recovering on the outside of the ring, it appears a double team has once again started with stomps on Cena, but then..*

[Joey Styles] This doesn't look good...

[Michael Cole] But here comes..



[Joey Styles] It's James Storm! Finally someone who can save John Cena is out here to do just that!

[Michael Cole] Yeah right, like he could help anything. You know, I used to like Storm, but now? Not one bit.

*James Storm's theme song hits! The Cowboy rushes out from the back and dashes to the ring. He meets Dolph just outside the ring and the two quickly trade punches as Joey and Cody watch. Storm gains the upperhand and is able to nail a quick suplex which lands Dolph on the same steel steps from earlier, Ouch! Storm then slides into the ring, ducking a clothesline out of Joey Ryan, and another out of Cody Rhodes, but Cody Rhodes's momentum carries him past Storm and forces him to nail Joey Ryan! Cena is now able to return to his feet and the two faces of the Chamber are standing tall at this moment. Cody turns around, but decides to slide out of the ring when he sees it would be both Cena and Storm against him. Dolph is still very much hurt and as Joey Ryan slides to the outside as well, the three heels regroup. All three slide into the ring at once, Cena and Storm battle them with punches, knocking them back against the ropes and Cena and Storm both clothesline all three back over the ropes. While the three heels are chatting, possibly thinking up a plan of attack, Cena quickly whispers to Storm. Storm smirks as he obviously likes the idea. It's then out of nowhere John Cena and Storm springboard over the top rope and land with a splash on top of Ziggler, Rhodes, and Joey Ryan!*

[Joey Styles] Look at that! Oh my god the two of them just landed on top of the three others in a rare diving maneuver!

[Michael Cole] That wasn't anything, I could do better myself you know.

*The crowd are going insane as "The Cowboy" James Storm & John Cena, two of their favorites on Redemption, have pulled off the unusual diving moves and landed on top of Ziggler and company. All five men lay on the ground having felt the effects of the move. And it's then that..*



[Joey Styles] Austin Aries! And all of the five other Elimination Chamber competitors are down, this can't be good!

[Michael Cole] Oh yes it can be.

*Austin Aries' theme song hits and he looks pretty confident seeing all five other competitors laid out. He seems locked in and wanting to inflict damage as fast as possible as he runs towards the pile up. The first man he targets is John Cena, lifting him up and delivering a barrage of strikes at him before delivering an enzuiguri to Cena, taking him back off his feet. He then turns his attention towards the other face, James Storm quickly lifting up Storm and smashing Storm's face into the side of the ring. His skull bounces off and Aries who is on a roll now turns his attention to Dolph, but by now Dolph has risen to his feet, however Aries is ready as he ducks a punch! Dolph goes for a dropkick then after, but Aries catches the foot and slams it into the ground, as Dolph is in pain. Austin Aries kicks a grounded Cody Rhodes a few times and does the same to Joey Ryan as he slides into the ring all five other men still being down. While he is showing off to the fans, it's Cena to return to his feet first. Aries doesn't see him as Cena slips into the ring, but before John Cena can do anything Aries turns around and the two begin to trade punches, John Cena manages to gain the upperhand and he hesitates none in lifting him up for an Attitude Adjustment, but Aries forces out of it and throws Cena over the top rope, back towards the piles of men who are just now seemingly getting up in unison.*

[Joey Styles] Uh oh, if I were those men I wouldn't be standing up right now! Duck, do something!

[Michael Cole] And he's about to hit it! Get out of the way Dolph, Cody, and Joey! Let him hit Cena and Storm!

*Austin Aries sees his opportunity and he begins to run the ropes! He bounces off with force and runs towards the ropes, diving through the middle rope in a suicide dive taking everyone who just made it back to their feet once again fall down! All 6 men lay on the ground for a little bit, catching their breath. It seems like they're all a bit warn out, but it's Cody Rhodes to first reach his feet. Cody immediately turns his attention towards James Storm who interrupted the attack of Cena earlier, Rhodes picks up Storm, not fully, but just enough so that Storm will stand up on his own. Rhodes climbs the apron and runs, attempting a diving clothesline but James Storm ducks him! Storm is able to walk over to Cody who is down. James Storm lifts up Cody Rhodes with a scoop slam right onto the steps as they were there earlier! Storm is turning around to see who he can attack next, but it's Dolph who is there to irish whip Storm into the barricade hard as the barricade can almost be seen falling over! And now that Dolph feels safe, he's surprised to see Austin Aries who was gloating in the ring before grabbing him from behind. Aries rolls Ziggler in the ring.*

[Joey Styles] That's a smart move on Ziggler's behalf, look at him roll. But I wish he would fight instead.

[Michael Cole] Yes it is smart, and why would he fight if he could do that instead? He'll fight when he's ready.

*Dolph Ziggler begins to roll away from where Aries slides in and Aries is annoyed as he tries to track him down, but out of nowhere Aries is planted as Cody Rhodes has snuck up behind him and nails the Cross-Rhodes! Cody Rhodes looks to now hurt Dolph, but Dolph has since rolled out of the ring. Joey Ryan is now looking to get some attack in as well, as Joey Ryan slides into the ring, turning Cody Rhodes around and slapping him right in the face! Joey Ryan shoots for a That 70's Kick, but Cody ducks, Cody fires back with a right hand to counter, but Joey Ryan is ready for that as well. and fires back a hard right hand. He slips in position for a pumphandle suplex and snaps it off quickly. It's at this time James Storm slides into the ring and prepares to do battle with Joey Ryan. The two trade blows, but it's broken up abruptly as Cody Rhodes rises to his feet and joins in to help Joey Ryan battle Storm. They back him up into a corner where they both tee off on Storm. John Cena can then be seen attempting to slide into the ring, but it's Dolph who is also on the outside who grabs his foot! Cena struggles with Dolph, finally pushing him off, but that makes him lose focus as when he slides in, he is met with a kick to the head from Aries and he falls back. Ziggler then slides in as well and and helps Aries stomp John Cena.*

[Joey Styles] Look at them at this again, Storm and Cena both being double teamed. This is ridiculous.

[Michael Cole] The only thing that's ridiculous is the fact that John Cena and James Storm both believe they can actually win the Chamber.

*Somehow in the corner where Storm was being attacked, James Storm is able to slip away. It's with this slip that he runs from the group and takes down Aries, allowing Cena to fight back against the one man on him. Both Cody and Ryan are able to recover, however, but Cena is able to get Ziggler off of him for a second as well and repays the favor by pushing Cody Rhodes out of the ring. While Dolph and Aries are still both recovering, Storm quickly recovers as well and throws Joey Ryan out of the ring to join Cody. It seems Cody and Ryan have a bit of a disagreement about something as they both begin to brawl outside the ring. But in the ring, Ziggler caught up to Storm as he catches him with a Zig-Zag and Storm falls out of the ring near the still brawling Rhodes and Ryan. Aries, maybe a second behind Dolph, had charged for Cena as well, but John Cena side stepped him, and threw him out of the ring. Aries collided with Ryan and Rhodes on his way down, knocking them both off their feet.*

[Joey Styles] Oooooh, what a thud! It was hard to tell if that was an accident or if he was legitimately attempting to take both of them out!

[Michael Cole] It doesn't matter. Dolph and Cody will fight back into this one.

*Cena and Ziggler see each other and begin to circle the ring, Ziggler shoots for Cena's leg, but Cena swiftly side-steps him. Cena and Ziggler then draw in close, John Cena throws a punch, and it looks like Ziggler is going to throw a punch back, but instead he rakes his eyes! Cena turns his back after that, trying to clear his eyes, and Ziggler hops on for the zig-zag! But no, John Cena didn't go down. He held Ziggler on his back and he lifts him up onto the top of his shoulders. It takes a moment to get him into a position suitable to AA him, but once he has, there's no hope for Ziggler. John Cena carries him over to the ropes where the rest of the competitors are beginning to raise to their feet, and John Cena drops him down on top of all of them with a devastating Attitude Adjustment! All 5 men on the outside are down and it's clear they aren't getting back up.*

[Joey Styles] What an Attitude Adjustment! And John Cena is left standing tall in this one!

[Michael Cole] Too bad this isn't the real Chamber, Joey, oh right, if it was Cena would just choke again!



*After a long time spent fighting with each other, the carnage on the outside of the ring remains. Cody Rhodes, Joey Ryan, James Storm, Austin Aries, and Dolph Ziggler while John Cena remains in the ring clearly pleased that he is standing tall after such a long brawl. Cena's theme blares through the arena and the fans are going insane for the most loved - or if not most loved, second most loved - man in the chamber. Cena can be seen saying all sorts of things about the Chamber, about winning the World Heavyweight Championship, however most are hard to pick up. And we see Cena's glad face on the screen closing out the show as Redemption goes off the air on this episode...*
