The Redemption Supershow starts with the usual pyrotechnics that explode in a brilliant flash of colour.



Upon their conclusion, there is a rapturous applause and variety of cheers as the XWL Universe release their excitement. The camera then pans to ringside and the usual 3-man commentary team.



[Michael Cole]
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to XWL Redemption. My name is Michael Cole and I am alongside The Hall of Famers, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Jim Ross!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well what a week, Uprising was off the hook and we saw some great matches, and some surprises.

[Michael Cole]
For those of you who were too cheap to order the Pay-Per-View, we'll give you a rundown of some of the events that happened last night. But seriously, consider buying a re-run. The show was crazy! We’ll get to the biggest surprise in just a moment but let’s first talk about Dolph Ziggler vs Dean Ambrose. We saw 3 men come together who want to be noticed. They want to make a change and I for one support them. They are bright superstars with potential. The Men Of Honor are going to go onto big things, just you wait and see.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Big things? Like how they helped Ambrose cheat to beat Ziggler last night?

[Michael Cole]
That's just smart tactics. Now stop bad mouthing a group of guys who just want to make an impact, and I can guarantee that you’ll see that tonight when Corey Graves and AJ Styles team up to beat The Motor City Machine Guns!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Whatever…Anyway what about Ted DiBiase who has finally got a contract here in XWL after beating Shawn Michaels and finally, after months of being screwed he is now once again an XWL superstar. What do you think about that Cole?

[Michael Cole]
Let’s be honest that wasn't even close to being a highlight of last night. Nobody wanted him to win. Shawn should have just kicked him in the teeth and sent him back on the free agents list. I'm sure Vickie will have some ramifications for the Heartbreak Kid.

[Jim Ross]
Last night was a great start to the year and it’s nice to see Ted DiBiase finally get what he deserves. He’s a top, top star and he deserves a contract.

[Michael Cole]
In your opinion JR. Moving on…what about John Laurinaitis announcing a match where we will see superstars defending their countries and representing them in a tournament. So far we are going to see Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro giving us a taste of their international flavor in what is sure to be a must see series of matches.

[Jim Ross]
Well we will see both of those men in action later tonight as Sheamus is set to face off against MVP who seems to have Carlito's number as of late - the business with Torrie Wilson aside, and Cesaro is going to be going one on one against the in-ring veteran William Regal.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
What about not having The Rock at Uprising last night? Or so we thought…

[Jim Ross]
Paul Heyman and his client Brock Lesnar had Rock banned from coming into the arena last night and as our cameras checked up on him a few times we could see Vickie had surrounded him with police officers to stop him entering the premises.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well The Rock certainly found a way inside and that left him with an F5 at the hands of the monster.

[Jim Ross]
Has Rock recovered from his beating last night? Doubtful, but either way The Rock will be in action later tonight going up against one of the Men Of Honor, Dean Ambrose.

[Michael Cole]
What was the deal with MsChif last night? I’m openly going to say she scares me. I don’t know why she is so freaky but just when she talks with the music, urgh. It gives me shudders.

[Jim Ross]
Oh man up Cole, she’s a fighter and after last night proved she was one of the toughest divas around. Sean Vincent had come here and beat her up and they have a long history together. MsChif settled the score that was until we found out it was Vickie who hired him as a referee and also Michele McCool made an appearance. She came out after a few months out and admitted she paid off Sean to do what he did.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well you know that hasn’t gone down well with MsChif and we’ll have to see if she says anything tonight. On the other hand Michelle is going to be going one on one against a diva who nearly lost her job last night, Eve Torres. Let’s see if she’s in a better mindset later on.

[Michael Cole]
Enough about all of this lets talk about what was on everyone's lips after the show ended. Chris Jericho beat Triple H to win the World Heavyweight title in an outstanding matchup. We thought that was it and Chris Jericho would be celebrating but one man came back and ruined the show.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
That damn Joey Ryan…

[Jim Ross]
That’s right folks, Joey Ryan came back to XWL after a few months away and left Jericho and Triple H out cold after they were on the receiving end of two vicious superkicks. He send a message to both champion and former champion as he made his presence felt. Just what are we going to see from these 3 superstars tonight?

[Michael Cole]
Well tonight Chris Jericho is going to be going one on one with Stone Cold Steve Austin and in a rematch from our Pay-Per-View in November, we are going to see "The Game" Triple H take on Joey Ryan! Now lets se-



Suddenly Michael Cole is cut off instantly by a theme which hasn’t been heard here since last year. Joey Ryan’s theme blasts through the arena to an uproar of boos from the fans. You’re Unbelievable!”. After a few seconds Joey Ryan jumps through the curtains and spins on the stage. He seems to be in a very good mood after what he did last night at Uprising. He comes out and licks his fingers before pressing down his moustache. He spins around once more as the fans reign in the boos but Joey just looks to be on top of the world.



[Jim Ross]
And there he is! The man who has everyone talking!

[Michael Cole]
And the man who no doubt will get what's coming to him. Chris Jericho won't let last night lie. Mark my words.

As Ryan heads down the ramp he looks at both sets of fans on either side of him but just smiles and carries on. He slowly jogs a few steps bouncing and does another spin at the bottom of the ramp, before flicking his scarf over his shoulder. He runs around to the side of the ring before jumping up and putting his leg on the second rope, arrogantly taunting the fans.



[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Whatever you think of Joey Ryan, you have to admit it's good to see him back. He's always entertaining.

As Joey gets in the ring, he demands a mic, which a crew member hands him through the ropes. He walks around for a bit waiting for the boos to die down before speaking



Joey Ryan
Well well well, did you miss me? Last night not only did Joey Ryan make history….not only did Joey Ryan come back to XWL…not only did Joey Ryan state his claim to that world heavyweight title but I ended the show. I made everything about me. After Uprising went off the air nobody was talking about any of the other matches, they was all talking about me. My facebook blew up, my twitter blew up. Everyone wanted to know two questions, why I left and why I came back. I’ll be straight with everyone here and give those in just a second but as you can tell Joey Ryan is in a very good mood. I am a happy man, I taught Triple H a lesson and I taught Chris Jericho a lesson. I have been sitting back and just watching as those two tore at each other and I just had to put a stop to it. Both of those men have no talent, no charisma and both needed a dose of Joey Ryan sleaze.



Joey Ryan
Joey Ryan is the man who all you people love to see. Don’t even try to deny it. For weeks this company has been on the down and it is because of me. Let’s not look any further, we don’t need Damien Sandow coming out here because Joey Ryan is the true saviour of this show. I debuted here around this time last year and I proved to be the best thing going. I won the Intercontinental title, the XWL 15 medal, 3 slammy awards and the World Heavyweight Championship which I defended minutes after winning. I am the greatest thing to happen to this company and it doesn’t matter who you go and ask, the divas love me, the men all want to be me and management will know that Joey Ryan is what brings in the draw. That’s why they had to beg for me to come back. They begged for Joey Ryan to be out here once again because they knew they couldn’t survive without me.



Joey Ryan
Just look at what we’ve seen while I’ve been gone, we’ve had Chris Jericho and Triple H unify the world titles just months after the second one was introduced. That second title was only brought in because everyone knew Joey Ryan was going to be walking out of the elimination chamber with the World Heavyweight title and everyone knew that they had to make another to give the lower main eventers a chance. Now that they’ve unified them we’ve seen Jericho and Triple H go at it for wees and now quite frankly I’m bored of it. That’s why I did what I did last night. I’m bored and I knew it was only going to continue. That is because as much as management want Joey Ryan back in XWL they continue to screw me. I have Ash Hollywood backstage and she’s a porngirl and even she dosen’t get screwed as much as I do here. It’s a disgrace. When I won the Intercontinental title I did not get a rematch. Nobody wanted to give Joey Ryan a chance to fairly win his title back while others just walked to the front of the queue.



Joey Ryan
When I went on my hiatus last month and when XWL officials were in talks wanting Joey Ryan to come back not once did they mention I would get my rematch. Not once did they say I would be in the world title contention. That is why I took things into my own hands. I did what I had to do to get Jericho and Hunters attention. Both of those men now know Joey Ryan is looking on and Joey Ryan wants that gold around his sexy waist once more. Because Joey Ryan is the man with MOVIE STAR GOOD LOOKS….Joey Ryan is the man with ROCKSTAR CHARISMA and Joey Ryan is the man who is BRINGING SLEAZY BA-











Ryan is cut off by the sound of the new World Heavyweight Champion's music beginning to play. Chris Jericho walks out onto the stage with a steely expression. The World title is worn proudly over his shoulder as he coolly makes his way towards the ring, with his eyes locked on the man who kicked him right between the highs just last night. Ryan strokes his moustache and smirks, knowing full well that Jericho can't be happy that he ruined his victory celebration at Uprising.

[Michael Cole]
Here comes the new World Heavyweight Champion! The Era Of Chris Jericho has resumed!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
And what a way for it to start back up again... getting your head kicked off your shoulders...

[Michael Cole]
Who cares about that? Jericho backed up his words and defeated Triple H to once again become World Champion just like he said he would! What a competitor! What a champion, Chris Jericho is!



[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well these fans don't seem to agree with you. They're booing the heck out of Jericho.

[Jim Ross]
Chris Jericho doesn't look to be in the best of moods tonight. And who could blame him. Joey Ryan made his impactful return at Jericho's expense when he should have been having one of the greatest moments of his career.

[Michael Cole]
It still was a great moment! Stop saying things like that!

Jericho climbs the ring steps, slowly but surely with his gaze unfaltering from Ryan. He enters the ring and is handed a microphone from a ringside worker. As his music dies down, he continues to glare into the face of Ryan, with pure hatred in his eyes. The fans shower Jericho with boos until eventually he breaks his silence.



[Chris Jericho]
Who the hell do you think you are Ryan? Huh?

Ryan raises his mic but Jericho cuts in before he can respond.

[Chris Jericho]
No! Don't answer that. I'll tell you exactly who you are. You're a revolting, greasy slimeball that thinks he can stick his nose in the business of others where it doesn't belong! Who are you to walk into my ring, at the end of my match and ruin my victory? You're nothing more than a reject Ryan. You always have been, and you always will be. Nobody cares about all your accolades from last year. And you want to know why? It's because all of your success came in the very same year guys like Ted Dibiase and Justin Gabriel became World Heavyweight Champion. 2012 was a dark year for this business, and you helped contribute to that. 2013 on the other hand, will be the greatest year this industry has ever bared witness to, because 2013 is the Year Of Chris Jericho. The fact I have started this year by once again becoming World Heavyweight Champion, is proof of that. Do you understand what I am saying to you, right now?



Joey Ryan
The year of Chris Jericho, what a wonderful year this is. How was your night last night Chris? Did your jaw hurt? Did it hurt when I kicked your teeth down your throat and left you and Triple H lying in this ring. I ruined your celebrations and at the end of the night no one was even talking about your title win. Well done, I’ll be an honest man here and congratulate you for becoming champion but it’s not going to last for long. While you may have started this year with the title, I can guarantee two things, Joey Ryan started this year as the man on everybody’s lips. The man who sold last night’s pay per view. The man who made an impact and took away your glory. The man who did what it took to get your attention and the man who is going to become World Heavyweight Champion, again.



[Chris Jericho]
Do you honestly believe that? Do you honestly think you have what it takes to defeat me? Think long and hard about that, kid. Because I'm looking at you right now, and I see a man with a lot of insecurities and imperfections. You don't know the first thing about "movie star good looks" or "rockstar charisma" do you Ryan? I can see it in your eyes. All of this is just an act, and a lie. You attempt to hide your mediocrity behind this larger than life character that you've created. You've created this veil to hide the fact that you're nothing more than an average competitor, punching far above his weight. Trust me kid, if you step inside this ring with me, I will expose you for what you are.. a fraud. What you see standing in front of you right now... is not a mirage. I am not a character... this is not a gimmick. I truly am, the very best in the world and this title emphasizes that fact. You and I do not belong in the same ring together. So I suggest you leave right now while you still have a chance before you regret ever having the stupidity to involve yourself in my business. This is your last chance Ryan. Get out of my ring.



Joey Ryan
Do you really think this scares me Chris? Joey Ryan thrives on this. You see for years I have been fighting in the small leagues. I have fought in school halls wrestling for nothing more than a few dollars and a meal. I did it because I had a dream. Joey Ryan knew he was destined for the big time. I was young, I was eager and all I wanted to do was be on a stage like this. I've been dealing with people like you all my life, those who told me I should just give up and go get a normal 9-5 job. Those who said I'd never be good enough. I've proved all of them wrong when I got signed on here and I brought this show into a new era. Joey Ryan thrives in situations where he is the underdog. How many people expected Joey Ryan to walk out with that world title around his sexy waist. Nobody thought I would win the eliminated chamber but I did and I eliminated the most men while doing so. Chris what you’re doing is not threatening Joey Ryan, you’re giving me a challenge, one I know I can do.



Joey Ryan
You see I’m just a big fish in a small pond. I’ve grown up in Hollywood all my life. I life like the stars cause that is just how I was brought up. I was shown all the sights and met famous people at a very young age. Were you that lucky Chris? So this is not just an act. This is a personality and this is Joey Ryan. I really am as sleazy as I say I am. Joey Ryan really is the man who he claims to be. If you really want to know how sleazy I can be well, go backstage and ask Ash Hollywood. Chris, Joey Ryan is the man who is always at the top, everyone wants to take shots at me and try get themselves a piece of Joey Ryan. It’s rare I lose a match and when I do that person brags about it for months as their one claim to fame. Joey Ryan is not just an average superstar with a larger than life character. You’ll find out Joey Ryan is the real deal and just what Hollywood is all about. Now Chris, do you understand what I’m saying to you?



[Chris Jericho]
Oh, I understand... I understand crystal clear Ryan. You're either deranged or mentally handicapped, because you really don't know what you're getting yourself into. You name me someone who has been more dominant than I have been ever since the Eye For An Eye Pay-Per-View last September. While you were at home, crying about your loss to Triple H, I was right here being the face of this company and the XWL Champion. Then this past Sunday, at Uprising, I did something you couldn't do when I defeated Triple H. If you can't beat Triple H, why do you think you can beat me? The only logical explanation is you're crazy Ryan. Add in the fact that your little sob story about your life contradicts itself and it's hard to believe anything that comes out of your mouth is that of a sane man. You need help. There's no other way to explain your reasoning. And I'll be more than happy to knock some sense into you. After what you did to me last Sunday, it's the least I can do.



Joey Ryan
Chris, now you can say how dominant you were since September but how many times have you had a good run only for it to end and then you’ll fade into obscurity for a few months. It happens all the time and soon enough we’re going to see that again. We’re going to see you lose this world title and then you’ll fade into being a nobody until you plan some huge return to try and get your name back out there. Joey Ryan doesn’t need to do that. I have been consistently the greatest thing going since January last year. I have had my name in lights while you were coming in and out of this company. Chris, any man can beat anyone on any day. Surely you know that after finally beating Triple H. You didn’t beat him on your first try did you? I never got that second chance and that is why I’m here. I want another chance for that World Title. You can go on about how I was at home but after holding this company on my back for the last year I needed some time off. Joey Ryan needed to go back to Hollywood and have a break. I’ll admit the loss to Triple H was tough but it was also a fluke. Triple H knows he can’t beat me again. Chris I’m a man of action, now what you said made me realise you want a fight. You want a piece of Joey Ryan. Well you can have it but not without that title being on the line. The only way you are going to get me in this ring is if I get the pleasure of taking that title from you after I kick your teeth down your throat.



[Chris Jericho]
You misunderstand me Ryan, because I don't want a fight. But what I do want is to expose you as the liar that you are to the entire world. I want them to see the real Joey Ryan. I want them to see the true Joey Ryan... the Joey Ryan that is nothing more than an average wrestler hiding behind barriers he's built up after years of deceit. Somewhere along the way you started to believe your own delusions. You honestly believe you are this sleazy greaseball... and that you have a chance against me don't you? Because I see past all of that Ryan, and what I see is a lonely, sad, man with nothing to distinguish himself from all of the parasites and hypocrites sitting on the other side of the barrier. You're living in a fantasy world. You could have continued to live the lie that you're living for years for all I care, but you made a mistake by laying your hands on me and getting involved in my business. I gave you an opportunity to leave a few moments ago and you made the biggest mistake of your entire life by staying here. I will not stop until the whole world sees you for the vulnerable waste of flesh and bone that you truly are. When I am through with you, you won't have a place left in XWL or this business.



[Chris Jericho]
So you're on Ryan! For one night only I will lower myself to your level and put you in your place. But we won't be doing this just anywhere... no. I can't think of a better way to ruin you Ryan, than by exposing your fraudulent ways in front of the largest audience possible. I'm talking about Final Stand V...



The camera shifts to the audience who are on their feet as Jericho lays down the challenge. As much as they despise both men, even they would want to see this potential matchup between two of XWL's top stars on the grandest stage of them all.



[Chris Jericho]
What do you say?



Joey Ryan
Chris do not compare me to these people. They are all corporate stooges and I don't come out here for them. I don't come out here with the intentions of being friends with any one of you. I just want to win and I'll do whatever it takes. They need to show Joey Ryan respect and you need to show Joey Ryan respect Chris. What better place than on the grand stage of Final Stand. Joey Ryan vs Chris Jericho in the main event. Is this what you really want? To have a "Mediocre" man fight you on the biggest stage of them all? A man who is not afraid to do whatever it takes to get the win and a man who will be walking out of Final Stand with that World Heavyweight Championship? You're on. I know going into this I'm the underdog. I know I'm the man who is going to have the challenge of his life but Joey Ryan is the man who needs to be the rightful World champion. You putting your title on the line was the worst mistake you could have ever made. See you at Final Stand, punk.

Joey drops the mic and barges past Jericho, the camera zooms in on Chris who just keeps on looking straight forward but smirks as Joey passes and heads out of the ring. Chris slowly turns around and watches as Joey heads up the ramp. The camera focuses on Jericho as he looks down at his title before showing Joey who is smiling at how he has just got himself a spot in the main event of Final Stand.

[Jim Ross]
Bah gawd! Jericho vs Ryan! The main event of Final Stand V has already been chosen! We are going to see two men hungry for the title going head to head in what looks to be shaping up to be a war! You can see Jericho is angry and just wants to get his hands on Joey after what he did this past Sunday! Ryan on the other hand is an underdog, a man who has beaten the odds time and time again. I can’t wait to see this!

[Michael Cole]
Whey they say anything can happen in sports-entertainment folks, they state the truth. Who would have expected we would see the announcement of the Final Stand main event here tonight? And what a main event it will be!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well, if this is how we kick off the first show on the Road To Final Stand... I can't wait to see how the rest of it pans out! What an amazing way to kick off our show here tonight!

The last image we see before the screen fades to black for a commercial break is that of Jericho showing his World title up close to the camera. He can be seen mouthing the words "Back where it belongs.".

*The Redemption supershow returns and the titantron lights up to reveal the man who was brutally attacked by the returning Big Red Monster, The Devil's Favorite Demon, a former XWL Intercontinental Champion, Kane despite his attempts to fight back. That's right, Randy Orton is seen walking down the corridors with a very pissed off look on his face as he is looking around for any sight of the man who attacked him at Uprising.*



*A worker begins to pass Orton but Orton stops them and grabs them by the collar of his shirt and pulls him back next to Orton as Orton speaks.*

[Randy Orton] Where's Kane?

*The person is silent as he is probably a bit to scared to talk.*

[Randy Orton] Did you not understand me? I said "Where's Kane?"

[Person] I don't know, I haven't seen him. Please, don't hurt me.

*Orton shoves him away and begins to walk down the hall some more when he begins to enter the locker room area. He passes one door and begins to pass the second door but he looks down at the bottom of it to see a faint red light coming out from under it. His anger begins to grow and he clinches his fist as he begins to approach the second locker room door. He slowly reaches for the handle as the red light grows a little brighter and a little crash could be heard coming from inside the room. Orton turns the knob and dashes into the room only to see XWL Superstar, Tyler Reks, standing there with a Red Lightsaber in his hand and his phone on the floor. Orton doesn't seem too amused as Reks looks at him.*

[Tyler Reks] Wanna join in? I have a green one in my bag, Hawkins said he had better things to do.

*Orton's expression doesn't doesn't change as he turns and leaves the locker room, slamming the door behind him. As he exits the locker room, an interviewer who goes by the name of Matt Striker begins to approach Orton.*

[Matt Striker] Excuse me, Randy, do you have some time to answer a few questions about what happened last night between yourself and Kane?

[Randy Orton] Make it fast.

[Matt Striker] Well it's obvious you are upset about this right now, do you happen to know why Kane decided to get himself involved with you once again? Do you think it has something to do with revenge?

[Randy Orton] I don't think, I know. I know Kane just couldn't live with with the thought in his head that I was slowly becoming the one to take people out of action just because it was "fun" when it use to be him doing that. I admit, it's not just this uncontrollable rage that Kane chooses to mention, I do it because it is pretty fun to take a person out who thinks they are better then you and can just push you around but when they are on there hands and knees, everything changes in the blink of an eye when my boot comes charging full force into the side of their skull. And some may say that I picked the wrong fight when I kicked Kane's head right off of his shoulders but when they say that, the only thing that I have to say in return is "There has never been a fight that I have picked that I will soon regret." I've been in fights where I have nearly been killed, nearly had my arm broken and nearly walked out with severe brain damage and not once have I ever regretted picking a fight with that person because for every time that I am hurt, I adapt and I become stronger making it that much harder for whoever chooses to try and stop my next, and next just so happens to be Kane. Kane is wanting revenge, he is craving revenge, he is pulling each and every strand of hair out of his head as he is waiting to complete his revenge. But the thing is, soon enough he will have pulled the last strand of hair out and his bald little head will, in my eyes, have a red target painted on the side of it as I sit back in the corner, ready to punt his head off once more.

[Matt Striker] So I'm guessing you're not afraid of this man despite him sitting on your next with a steel chair, a maneuver that could have killed you?

[Randy Orton] Being afraid is for the weak, being afraid of the monsters that lurk around this place is for those superstars who will never become something in this company. I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm not afraid of the fire, I'm not afraid of Kane. If anything, Kane should feel afraid of me because after what happened at Uprising, he didn't prove a point, he didn't make a statement, all he did was anger the viper. And when The Viper strikes, the venom runs deep and into your blood and you slowly wither away, the only thing Kane will feel is regret. So Kane, wherever you may be lurking, let me just make one thing perfectly and crystal clear for you, you've chosen to mess with the wrong animal in this food chain that is XWL. You've had plenty of other superstars who you could have chosen but you picked the worst one out of the bunch and then the viper strikes and the venom runs deep, you'll only have one person to blame. Yourself.

*Randy Orton stares a hole through Matt Striker until he backs up. Orton storms off from the scene as Striker looks relieved. Once Randy has completely left the set, a nearby door opens and out pops the "Big Red Monster" Kane!*



*Matt Striker nearly jumps out of his shoes as he sees Kane. Kane stares at him until Matt can finally regain his compusre.*

[Matt Striker] K-K-ane? D-d-do you have any comments on what we just heard from Randy Orton?

*Kane just looks down at Matt for a few moments, not saying anything. Matt gulps and slowly backs away until Kane begins speaking.*

[Kane] You know, Matt, to me it looks like Randy Orton wants a fight tonight. I look forward to having another fight, but tonight I'm going to play a different game. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

*Kane continues to chuckle to himself as Striker still trembles in fear. Unluckily for him, Kane notices this.*

[Kane] Are you feeling uneasy, Matt?...

*Kane grabs him by the collar and pins him up against the wall.*

[Kane] I'm just getting started.

[i]*Kane smirks and puts him back down before creeping away to the unkown again. Striker takes a couple of deap breaths, what does Kane have in store for Randy Orton tonight? XWL Redemption fades to a video package for former XWL Diva's Champion and resident crazy chick, AJ Lee.*

XWL returns from a commercial break and we see MVP standing somewhere backstage with two ladies who look like they’re fresh out of a photo shoot. It’s absolutely ridiculous these two women look is their tight dresses and high heels and you can’t help but feel that MVP is one lucky son of a bitch for having two angels hanging onto each arm. I mean you just glance at them for a second, for the time it takes for you to blink your eyes or for your heart to beat you can’t help but feel attracted to these women even if it’s just sexual arousal. From their hair to the shape of their calf muscles, you’d have to be interested in the other sex or happily married to not want a piece of them.



I mean if I were MVP my hands would be all over them from their bosoms to their derrieres just taking in every square inch of their voluptuous figures. Their bodies must be so soft, their flesh so delectable, their touch so sensual that merely being near them must be a treat for any man lucky enough to be in their presence. My god, they must even smell good after spraying on their $100 dollar perfuming and rubbing on a little deodorant and of course there’s the hair spray needed to make sure they don’t suffer from any split ends. You look at their hair and it’s just another feature of these two ladies that makes them that much more appealing to the eyes. I imagine if you ran a hand through their hair it would feel so soft and look so delicious that you’d just want to take a handful of strands in your mouth and chew on them until the flavor is gone. And while you were sitting there fantasizing about a potential future with these women MVP has already given most of his speech.

…the reason why I went ahead and entered myself into this World Series was because this great country, The United States of America, needed a representative that embodied everything that is special and amazing and unique about it. I’m talking about wealth, power and of course, handsomeness. Signing the most lucrative contract in the history of this company means that I got the money I need to support the high-maintenance lifestyle I like to live, and judging from my performances over the last few weeks alone, never mind my entire career, it’s not hard to see that I’m worth every penny. Don’t let this custom-made suit fool you, because underneath this exquisite shirt and tie is the body of a man who lives in the gym because I’m dedicated to being in the best shape possible so that I can continue to defend my title of being the best superstar around. Ain’t nobody got time for that “America is full of fat clowns” nonsense, you got something to say about my homeland, you come and say it to my face so I can laugh in your face before I go ahead and knock your ass out cold.



Montel Vontavious Porter
M.V.P.
And that’s what this series is all about: fighting in the name of your country while at the same time trying to qualify for the money in the bank ladder match at Final Stand; the way I see it, I’ll be killing two birds with one stone over the next couple of weeks. These other five men in this series are all rungs on the ladder I’ll need to climb to get back to the top where I belong. I’m talking about getting my name engraved onto the World Championship, I’m talking about my face on the posters and on the covers of the videogames because if you don’t believe by now that I’m the MVP of this company, then you’ll find out quickly as you watch in awe while my career takes off to heights never before thought possible. I know it’s hard to imagine how things can get any better than this. Believe me, it does.



Montel Vontavious Porter
M.V.P.
This isn’t me talking the talk, this isn’t me just hyping myself up so I can get a little ego boost. Nah, ever since I returned I’ve been hands-down the hottest thing going for this company. Every single week people tuned in because they wanted to see just how I would amaze them and time and time again I delivered. You see, unlike Dolph Ziggler and unlike CM Punk I don’t take days off and I’m not about giving less than 110% every time on out in the ring because I’m hell bent on showing why I’m a beast and a force to be reckoned with. I was World Champion for a reason, and I’m going to be World Champion again for that very same reason: I’m every bit as good as I say I am because there is not a single man out there who can counter the ghetto-stong style.



Montel Vontavious Porter
M.V.P.
And they try to slow me down, believe me, they do everything in their power to stop me but what they don’t understand is that when this train gets going there’s no stopping it, there’s not a chance of slowing me down. So you get on the tracks thinking you’re going to get in the way of me shining like the star I know I am? You’re gonna get run over, kid. Carlito has been playing chicken with this train for weeks and it’s only a matter of time before his luck runs out and he becomes one with the train tracks. It’s the same way his luck ran out when he had his little win streak going and it’s the same way that his luck ran out the last time he was employed by XWL and he thought he could fly under the radar doing nothing.



Montel Vontavious Porter
M.V.P.
At Uprising, Carlito, you sunk to a new low and the worst part about it is that you tried to drag me down with you. I always looked at you as an embarrassment to this profession, and now I’m thinking that you aren’t much of a man either. I gave you the fight you wanted at Uprising, I gave you the match-type you wanted at Uprising and still you had to use your little girlfriend to help you get the win. And I’m not ashamed to admit that the whole damsel in distress routine gets me every time because I’m a gentleman and a man of class and integrity, which is why these two lovely ladies are with me and not you. I guess my unparalleled way with women is just one more thing I excel at compared to you.



Montel Vontavious Porter
M.V.P.
Regardless of what you may say in the mirror so that you feel better about yourself, Carlito, that match didn’t prove that you’re the better man, it proved without a shadow of a doubt what I’ve been saying all along: we’re not in the same league. We’ll never be in the same league because you’ll always be a rung beneath me and I’m sick and tired of you holding onto my ankle from down there and preventing me from climbing up to where I need to be. That match was supposed to settle things between us, it was supposed to put an end to you being a thorn in my side once and for all… but it didn’t quite do that. All I want now is to make sure that you lose this series and watch me become Mr. Money in the Bank from the comfort of the stool in your studio apartment, because maybe then you’ll finally get the message loud and clear that I’m better than you. Because no matter how hard you try, Carlito, I’ll always be… ballin’.



World Series Match


MVP vs. Sheamus

The SuperShow returns from a commercial break where Sheamus is already in the ring waiting for his opponent for the evening, MVP to make his way out here so these two can compete in the inaugural match of the World Series. This one will see Ireland take on The United States ina culture clash of a match, although the two men competing aren’t afraid of a good brawl. Sheamus continues to pace the ring clearly ready to fight and a smirk appears on the face of The Great White when MVP’s theme hits because that fight his itching for is now only moments away.



When MVP’s theme hits the crowd gives a major pop as they hope their cheers can lead The Franchise Player to a comeback win after he was absolutely robbed at Uprising. MVP comes out onto the stage and the cheers only get louder as he runs from one end of the stage to the another showing the people on both sides of the arena some love. Finally he gets to the middle of the stage and throws out his arms in front before finally walking down the ramp. Just before MVP reaches the bottom he stops short and gets hit on the back with a steel chair!

MVP crumbles to the ground after screaming out in pain and who else would be standing behind him, steel chair in hand, but that son of a bitch Carlito? MVP tries to get up but Carlito stomps on his back before raising his chair and bringing it down hard against MVP’s back and then he does it one more time for good measure. Carlito takes MVP and throws him into the ring and then walks backwards up the ramp with a smile on his face while the people chants he sucks. The Ref comes over to MVP to check on him, but MVP shoves him away and tells him to ring the bell. Reluctantly The Ref does it and MVP pulls himself to his feet and staggers into the center of the ring, weakened and vulnerable for Sheamus to come charging forward and damn near knock his head of his body with The Brogue Kick! Sheamus goes for the cover and easily gets the three count.

While Sheamus celebrates in the ring and then up the ramp and towards the back, the camera does a close up on the knocked out MVP laying there on the mat. One has to wonder not only what he’ll say about it, but what he’ll do. For the second straight show, Carlito has resorted to extreme measures in order to get the upper hand in this rivalry, but has he taken it too far? This could be a major setback for MVP in his quest to be one of the four in the money in bank ladder match, one that he may never recover from. But it’s not only about the ladder match it’s about what this series represented for him, because MVP wasn’t just fighting for himself, but for his country and the people who call it home and he was robbed of the opportunity to defend its honor properly.

Redemption returns from commercials but we are not going ringside as a funky little jingle starts to play and we get an intro video package of a segment called, "Cesaro's American Adventure". The video package shows Cesaro in different settings in America before the title appears on the screen. That fades away and we are now in some type of American diner, where Antonio Cesaro is sitting down reading a menu. A waitress shows up to the table,

Waitress: Hello Sir, can I take your order?



Antonio Cesaro: Bonjour! You certainly can take my order. I would like to order your finest Papet vaudois, also served with Saucisse au chou, thank you.

The waitress looks at Antonio Cesaro like he is some type of strange person before talking once more.

Waitress: Ermm Sir, I don't want to be rude but whatever you just ordered we do not sell that here and I am sure that it isn't on the menu.

Cesaro looks at the waitress with a look of disgust. Cesaro reopens the menu and examines it before slamming it shut and looking back at the waitress.



Antonio Cesaro: Typical American garbage that you sell here I see. Burgers, Burgers, Fries, Southern Fried Chicken, Pizza and you look around and you wonder why this country is full of fat lazy people who have plummeted this country into debt and chaos. Americans are fat, lazy and stupid, you need someone to look up to, you need someone who you can model yourself after and that someone is me, Antonio Cesaro. You see I am fit as a fiddle, I am what you call a perfect specimen of a man. I work out all the time, I fight to earn my living and I am better than each an everyone of you people. But that's okay us Swiss are always far more superior than most nations so I don't expect anything less from the U, S of A. But like I said I am here to be your new idol, be your inspiration to become a better nation like Switzerland and one day you may become better. Anyway I see there is one suitable thing of this menu and that is pasta salad and I would like to order that please.

The waitress notes down Cesaro's order and walks off with a less than pleased look on her face. The screen fades back and then we return with Cesaro tucking into to his pasta salad. He looks at the camera and begins to talk once more.



Antonio Cesaro: Not half bad, at least I have something that won't give me a heart attack on my adventures in America. This pasta salad is good but to be honest I have had much better in my native Switzerland, but lets not get back to me telling you how superior we are. What you XWL fans are witnessing is me, Antonio Cesaro, taking a trip around America and becoming your idol, your inspiration, hell maybe I will become your new American Hero. I thought I would have my journey filmed for your viewing pleasure. So America is not all that great, but there are other countries that are not all that special. Places such as Puerto Rico, Canada, Ireland and England or the United Kingdom. You think that me naming specific countries must mean I have a certain gripe with each one but that not entirly true. What is true is that each one of those countries will be represented in XWL's new concept, The World Series. That's right we will all be battling it out to find out who the superior nation will be at the end and when that dust settles the victor will gain a spot in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match at the grandest stage in XWL's calender, FINAL STAND.



Antonio Cesaro: Well we all know who is superior but if I have to go out and do something I enjoy, which is fight and wrestle then I am okay with that. I see my opponents are some of the toughest from each of their nations. Firstly we have MVP, a man who actually defeated me 2 weeks ago. I will take defeat gracefully but I did not deserve to lose that match, I felt that he had to use his "street tricks" to get a lucky win over me. But that's okay our rematch will not end the same. Next up is that fella represent Ireland, Sheamus. He is a tough Irishman that likes to fight, but that all said I am far more superior than an Irishman. Next we have a Canadian who I admit are much better than Americans but not better than an Swiss man like myself. Christian, you have been around along time and I know you have achieved great things but this World Series will not be one of them because that is going to be me achieving this feat.



Antonio Cesaro: Whos next? That's right we have a Puerto Rican Cool guy known as Carlito. Carlito, Puerto Rico huh? That's all I have to say about that. Finally I come to someone who I found out literally minutes ago will be my first opponent in the World Series and he is from England in the United Kingdom. That man is none other than William Regal, the ruthless villain from Blackpool, England. Mr Regal out of all my opponents I actually respect you, I respect you because we have a similar style of wrestling and it will be an honor to step in the ring with you. But Mr Regal, this does not mean I will be going lightly on you because if I have to uppercut back to England then so be it. So with all that said and done I will be one of the fastest rising stars in XWL because when I win the first ever XWL World Series, I will then go onto Final Stand and win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Then I will cash it in and become your New World Heavyweight Champion. Au Revoir!!

Antonio Cesaro finishes his food then clicks his fingers in the air and as the waitress approaches he speaks once more.

Antonio Cesaro: Check Please.

The segment ends and we fade back to ringside.

XWL returns showing Maria stood with Carlito which instantly receives a negative reaction after seeing Carlito early in the show brutally attack MVP with a steel chair

[Maria]
So Carlito, without wasting much time I have quite a few questions concerning last night’s result at Uprising and your thoughts on the up and coming World Series. But first, the question on everybody’s mind is why go out and attack MVP tonight before his match? Surely the score was settled after Uprising?



{Carlito}
Well Maria, that just goes to show how much not only you but the rest of the idiots who tune in to watch this show don’t pay attention to detail. You see, if you did, you would of heard MVP bitching about his loss to me and how, I quote, ’That match was supposed to settle things between us, it was supposed to put an end to you being a thorn in my side once and for all... but it didn’t quite do that.’ Or was I the only one who heard that?

{Carlito}
So that for me was a sign. A sign to take action. If this is not over then that silly ‘ballin’ idiot will be trying to play games again, so instead I thought I’d catch him by surprise and I’d make the first move this time using his invitation. So yeah, maybe I did cost him his first World Series match but doe’s that matter. No it sure as hell doesn’t. Because Carlito is also in this World Series and Carlito is going to win it. Win that spot in the Money In The Bank match and then win that. And become one of the fastest ever World Heavyweight champions this company has ever seen.

[Maria]
Well you sure have your goals set Carlito, but are you not worried that MVP will now seek his revenge and cost you any of your World Series matches?

{Carlito}
Don’t make me laugh. MVP can TRY and hinder my matches all he wants. But he will receive the same fate he did last night at Uprising. Me coming out on top as I always do. I promised I would beat him and I did.

[Maria]
Well that leads me perfectly to my next question. Do you feel it was fair that Torrie cost MVP the match and you stole the vict...

{Carlito}
Woah woah woah, hold it right there. Stole? The victory. Don’t be stupid. I won that match because I’m the better athlete, the better wrestler and the better man! Torrie was simply my bait as I know MVP can’t resist a hot lady. MVP is a sex pest. His main focus is woman. So if I bring out my own hot babe then he will mouth drooling over her instead of getting the job done. Which let me point out, I didn’t need to do that but simply did it for my own amusement.



{Carlito}
So Torrie didn’t at all cost him the match, I won and he simply can’t face it. Which reminds me, Torrie should be joining us shortly to share her views on this.

[Maria]
But Carlito, not only me but the whole world saw Torrie place your foot on the rope when you looked to be knocked out cold, and, she was the one who hit the low blow causing MVP to be unable to kickout?

{Carlito}
I don’t answer stupid questions, next please.

Torrie Wilson can now be seen walking into the shot and Maria points the mic straight at her.

Torrie Wilson
Hey baby, is this pest annoying you? Because I heard everything you’ve said and I don’t appreciate you speaking to Carlito like that. Let me just get one thing straight and let me give this message out to anybody watching this out there. Carlito and I had a plan, and a deal. He was to train me and to get me my XWL contract if I was to be by his side when he faced MVP. We both did our jobs well and realised how good of a team we were so we decided to stick to it. And with me by his side Carlito has more than anybody else’s chance to win this World Series for that reason. Not everybody will know me but I also have great in ring ability myself which you all will get to see in good time. Just you wait. But until then I plan on helping Carlito reach his goals of being Mr Money in the bank.

[Maria]
Well, Carlito, you sure seem to have everything figured out. Just one last thing I need to ask. With your ‘win’ over MVP, you will inevitably face him in this World Series along with some of the best in this business. Are you sure you can win this?



{Carlito}
Of course I can, did you not see me beat MVP before? And I can do it again. I can beat anybody on this roster without even breaking a sweat so that is the most stupid thing I have ever heard in my entire life. Now, if you excuse me. I face Christian tonight. I man who thinks like me but no where near as smart. You see, he kidnapped Melina, thats criminal and can land you in jail. Me and Torrie put on an act. It has the same effect without the illegal consequences. So he has my respect for that, but unfortunately he will fall short tonight at the hands of Carlito, he couldn’t even take care of John Morrison last night who may as well be a Diva himself. And he did indeed take a beating, so just to make things even easier, he won’t be 100% so right now I can just take and easy and stroll to my first World Series victory. I will even have Torrie ringside with me who will no doubt be able to give him a quick kick to the temple if he tries to put his hands on her as well.

Torrie Wilson
But before I go out, being the hottest Diva this company has ever had, I’ve been invited to a photoshoot before my match. So while Carlito gets ready would you mind rubbing this oil on my back Maria?



The camera zooms back in to Carlito just before XWL breaks off to a commercial break.

{Carlito}
Now thats cool!

Normal Match


Dean Ambrose vs. The Rock

---

The Rock and Dean Ambrose stand across the ring from one another, Ambrose looking on with a sick...Sadistic smirk on his face as he contemplates what he's gonna do to The Rock, the peoples champion is the opposite of everything that himself and the Men of Honor stand against and he has the chance to get his hands on him! The Rock on the other hand is pacing back and forward, alive and ready, he's hurting badly from the brutal attack at the hands of Brock Lesnar at the pay per view but he's pissed and wants the chance to blow off all of his anger! The ref asks for a clean fight but chances are that's not gonna happen and even he knows that...

AND THE BELL RINGS!

Without a second to waste Ambrose charges across the ring and flies through the air, splashing right into The Rock with a flurry of punches backing the great one into the turnbuckle, from there Ambrose releases a barrage of stiff kicks to the gut followed by a series of hard punches to the jaw! The crowd are boo'ing like hell but that only fuels The Rock! He bursts from the corner and grabs Ambrose by the shoulders, launching him into the turnbuckle...It's The Rocks turn! Rocky starts to unload with the fury of a thousand men! Punches left right and center knocking Ambrose into next week, The Rock throws his right arm behind his head and spits on it before flying forward and punching Dean Ambrose right over the top rope!

The crowd are electric! The Rock immediately leaves through the middle rope and hops down to the outside where Ambrose is slowly rising to his feet but as he gets there The Rock grabs him by the back of the head and slams it right down on the apron! Ambrose stumbles forward after a loud cry of pain, he turns around and uses his arms to stay up on the corners of the barricade, The Rock see's his target and runs full speed towards him! But just as he gets within an inch away Dean ducks down and throws The Rock right over his head sending him crashing into the timekeepers area! The Rocks leg smacks off of the ring bell as his head collides with a chair in a nasty fall! Ambrose takes a second to examine the carnage and laughs when he notices what's happened, he then realizes the refs count is at 6 and rolls in the ring before rolling back out...Not content with his damage yet...

Ambrose clambers over the timekeeper and announcer before grabbing The Rock by the back of the neck, laughing at him as he looks to be on a different planet, then without any warning Ambrose runs forward and throws The Rock right across the commentary table! He slides on his front and crashes into the monitors before dropping off of the side right into the lap of Michael Cole who falls off of his chair to the amusement of the crowd. The Rock looks to be in serious trouble as he scrambles out from the mess and crawls towards to steel steps, he puts two hands on the middle step and tries to pull himself up but the ever cunning Ambrose jumps onto his back and slams his head down brutally on the steel! The crowd gasp in unison as their champion looks to be completely out cold already! The match may as well be over but Ambrose rolls in and out of the ring, breaking the count once more!

With The Rock still lying comatose on the steps Ambrose looks on in disgust, shouting at him to "get up and fight like a man!" but when The Rock doesn't move Ambrose shakes his head and instead turns his attention to the thin padding on the floor, he digs his fingers into the edge and completely rips it up off of the ground exposing the concrete! The crowd are looking on in disbelief at this mad man as the ref tries to get Ambrose to stop but he shouts back, "all is fair in love and war...and I love to hurt people!" With that Ambrose rolls in and out of the ring once again before stomping over to The Rock, grabbing him by the head and dragging him over to the exposed floor! He pulls Rocks head down between his legs and signals for a piledriver, the crowd watch with baited breathe but quickly there's a huge sound of relief and joy as The Rock flips Ambrose right over his head onto the concrete floor with nothing but instinct!

The crowd now have a ray of hope and are on their feet as The Rock is back on his, he talks some trash to Ambrose who is wincing in pain before laying several boots into his face! The Rock follows up by grabbing his longish hair and tossing him into the ring where the match belongs! The Rock rolls in after him and as both men rise at roughly the same time The Rock starts unloading with a series of quick right hands backing Ambrose up against the ropes, from there he Irish Whips Dean to the other side of the ring who comes back and is thrown high into the air and brought crashing down with an impactful Samoan drop! With this newfound life The Rock grabs Ambrose by the arm and lifts him back up to his feet, hooking it over his own head and lifting him high into the air for a suplex! The Rock goes for the cover! 1….2….Ambrose kicks out! Not yet…

The Rock punches Dean hard across the jaw to stop him getting up before hooking his legs, going for the sharpshooter but Ambrose is two steps ahead and kicks him off causing The Rock to rebound off of the ropes, when he reaches the middle of the ring again Ambrose leaps up off the mat and nails a huge lariat! With The Rock down, Ambrose takes the time to drag himself up in the corner but as he notices The Rock on all fours he puts his hands out in front of him, lining up for the knee trembler! Ambrose seizes the moment and sprints forward but The Rock was playing possum and comes to life just before impact, grabbing Ambrose by the leg and hitting a dragon whip, taking him to the floor and locking in the sharpshooter as quick as a hiccup! It’s locked in and Deans slap bang in the center of the ring with nowhere to go!

Dean is crying out in agony as The Rock applies all the pressure he can, his knee was targeted all night by Dolph Ziggler at the pay per view and now The Rock is taking serious advantage of that by trying to snap it in half! Dean raises his hand up, looking ready to tap out, there’s nothing he can do, he has too…










At the sound of Brocks theme The Rock immediately releases the hold, flying up to his feet and putting his hands on the top rope, begging for Brock Lesnar to make an appearance! After about 30 seconds of waiting the music cuts off and The Rock realises that he’s been had! Brocks not coming out, he turns around pissed off and out of nowhere Ambrose hooks under his arm and attempts a Rock Bottom of his own but The Rock is too alert for that and elbows him across the head twice before Irish Whipping him off of the ropes, Ambrose comes back and is hoisted up into a huge spinebuster! The Rock is all fired up now as he heads to the top side of Dean, rips off his elbow pad and tosses it into the third row before swinging his arms and bouncing off of the rampside ropes, rebounding and jumping over Ambrose but time stands still as he runs straight into a vicious chair shot courtesy of Corey Graves!

Winner via Disqualification:

Corey stands, looking pleased with himself as The Rock looks concussed on the floor, Ambrose gets up to his feet looking angry at the ref for ringing the bell, he grabs the ref by the shirt and throws him to the mat, when the poor guy tries to get up and escape he runs forward and nails him in the temple with a knee trembler! Corey Graves watches on with a sick smile on his face at his fellow stable member…On the far side of the ring The Rock tries to get up but Corey drops the chair and wanders over to him, he starts to punch viciously into The Rocks forehead before motioning for Ambrose to join him when all of a sudden the crowd are sent into a frenzy of cheers at a new arrival!









IT’S DOLPH ZIGGLER! Dolph slides into the ring and heads straight for Ambrose! He takes Dean down and starts to unload a series of right and lefts hands in quick succession until he is cut off by Corey Graves kicking him in the back of the head! The game is about to change though as The Rock is up and on his feet! He spins Corey around and starts to punch him into the corner! Dolph recovers from the momentary setback and starts to unload on Dean in the opposite corner! Things are starting to look good for the unlikely duo but once again the crowd let out a river of boos as AJ Styles jumps the barricade with a led pipe! The Rock is the first to see it coming and he blocks the shot and punches Styles causing him to drop the pipe! Rock grabs Styles from the back in a tussle, Dolph notices and tries to help out, lunging across the ring with a superkick but Styles ducks and Ziggler knocks The Rock out cold!

Ziggler looks down absolutely distraught but he doesn’t have long before he joins The Rock in la – la land after being cracked across the back of the head with the led pipe from AJ! Dean and Corey emerge from their respective corners and start to stomp all over The Rock and Dolph! Both men on the floor don’t exactly do a good job of making allies so they are on their own, the Men of Honor on the other hand are a great unit and take the pain to them, Dean signals for them to hold The Rock up and once they do he runs over and hits a vicious Knee Trembler! He covers The Rock as Corey Graves makes the count….

“1….2…..3!”

The Men of Honor stand up in the middle of the ring and they each raise their hands into the posses from Uprising. Completely dominant, then to make The Rocks night even worse…









And this time he is here! Brock Lesnar strolls out onto the stage and begins to walk down the ramp, The Men of Honor take this as their sign to leave as they toss Dolph over the top rope and out onto the exposed floor, from there the stable exit the ring and walk up the ramp right past Brock who doesn’t show any sign of emotion, he simply walks past them with no acknowledgement, he jumps up onto the apron and enters the ring, looking down at the unconscious Rock…He contemplates his actions for a moment and then does absolutely nothing, he turns around and exits the ring through the middle ro---All of a sudden The Rock starts to move around inside the ring, he crawls up to one arm and uses the last of his strength to put the other out in front of him…Flipping Brock Lesnar off!

The pissed off animal re-enters the ring and with the greatest of ease he scoops The Rock up to his feet and then hoists him up onto his shoulders, he looks right at the hard cam with the dead weight of a broken peoples champion on his shoulders and lets out an insane battle cry before tossing him higher into the air and bringing him down with a devastating F5! The Rock lies absolutely motionless as Medics rush the ring as quickly as they can, they are worried about entering but Brock makes their choice easy and leaves, walking back up the ramp after having destroyed The Rock for the third time since this all began…XWL’s Redemption Supershow fades to commercial with The Rock being helped onto a stretcher…

A street appears on the titantron. The camera continues to pan through the street until it enters into a cafe where we see Daniel Bryan sitting by a table about to dig his fork into a cupcake. Daniel notices the cameraman and turns towards him.



{Daniel Bryan}
Oh, why hello there. I was just about to eat this beautiful vegan cupcake here, but I suppose I can spare a few minutes of my time to talk to the fans. For those of you who do not know, I am Daniel Bryan, the best technical wrestler in the world. During my last run in XWL, I had a few problems with controling my feelings, and it not only affected my career, but my life too. If anything were to go wrong for me, I would snap, I wasn't able to control myself at all, and I took out all of my anger on superstars in the ring. I was vicious, cruel, unstable.. It's safe to say I had problems, and I had to find a way of dealing with them. So I waited for my contract to end and decided not to renew it until I had sorted out my life. Once I got back to my hometown and started to live a normal every day life, everything just got worse.The feelings were still there, I was still angry all the time, but now I had no way at all to release my frustrations, I was nothing but a ticking time bomb waiting to go off, and that's exactly what I did.



{Daniel Bryan}
I was in a restauraunt with my family, we were all sitting around the table, conversing and looking at the menus to see what we wanted to eat. The waiter came over to take our orders, everyone had chosen what they wanted apart from me, I looked at that menu ten times over and there wasn't a signle vegan option.. can you believe that? I turned to the waiter and politely aired my grieveances to him, asking if there were any possibility that he could make me something vegan, I even offered to pay extra, and do you know what he did? He laughed at me.. I sat there and tried my best to hold my temper, and kindly asked him what he thought was so funny, he turned to me and told me that I must be a comedian since vegans aren't real people. After that, all the pent up frustrations within me unleashed, all on that poor unsuspecting waiter. I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and threw him through our table. The plates and glasses went flying across the room. My family were in shock, absolutely digusted by my behaviour, I couldn't believe what I had done and I quickly turned to leave, but was stopped in my tracks by two police officers...



{Daniel Bryan}
After seeing the embarrassment and disappointment in my parents faces and after spending a night in jail, I knew I had to do something to get my life back on track. When the morning rolled around and the police offer opened the door to my cell, I walked out a different man and as I walked out of the station exit, I saw a poster plastered on the wall. "Dr. Shelby's Anger Management Course, ridding you of your inner demons!". I grabbed my phone from my pocket and coppied the number down into my phone book, and as soon as I left the building, I called the number. The doctors assistant answered and I arranged an appointment with this "Dr.Shelby".



{Daniel Bryan}
That phonecall changed my life. For weeks afterwards I went to see Dr.Shelby, and he taught me many ways to abolish my inner demons, and he taught me how to ultimately control not just my anger, but all of my feelings. After a few months of meeting with Dr.Shelby, I graduated from his class and decided it was time to take what I learnt and put it to good use, so I called up Vickie Gurerro and arranged a meeting to discuss my return. Vickie was so impressed by my story that she gave me a contract right there and then. I was thrilled, I finally had my life back.



{Daniel Bryan}
Now that I'm signed with XWL, I'd like you all to know that I'm opening up my own Anger Management Course to be held within my home. I already took the liberty of signing up some superstars who I believe need the help more than others. Miz, Austin Aries, Dean Ambrose, Seth Roillins and Jeff Hardy. I look forward to being able to take these lost souls and to transform them into the decent human beings I know that they can be. With my help, these lucky superstars will finally be able to look into the mirror and be happy with what they see.

Daniel digs his fork into his cupcake, he takes a bite as a smile comes across his face, the camera pans away and the titantron turns black once more.

*We transition to the backstage interview area, where an XWL interviewer has caught up with Sheamus.*



[Arda Choke]
"Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest... Sheamus. Sheamus, congratulations on your big victory tonight..."

*Sheamus interrupts.*



[Sheamus]
"...but at what cost Arda? You watched what happened out there. MVP was attack by Carlito... and what did I do? I stood back and just watched. Then... then Carlito threw him in the ring... and I hit MVP with a Brogue Kick. I'm disgusted not only in Carlito... but in myself. I went out there expecting to put on a 5-star match for these fans, then this happens."

[Arda Choke]
"Sheamus, you do realize that now you are a step closer to winning the World Series. Meaning you are one step closer to a spot in the Money in The Bank ladder match."



[Sheamus]
"That's true, but I look at it this way: This 'World Series' competition is not only about winning a spot in the ladder match, but it's about representing you country. Us Irish are not a bunch of cowards, but tonight... I took the cowards way out when I pinned MVP. I'm not proud of myself by any means, but I guess if it's what I have to do... it's what I have to do. You know us Irish... we're always ready to fight. Tonight, I was ready to fight, but Carlito had to stick his nose where it didn't belong."

[Arda Choke]
"What are you saying? Do you want to fight Carlito?"

[Sheamus]
"I'm not saying that. I'm saying I want to fight! Fight anyone! If Carlito wants to fight, I can give him a fight. Hell, I'll fight everyone in the World Series!"

[Arda Choke]
"Actually Sheamus... that's kind of the point of this whole competition. You get the opportunity to..."

*Sheamus interrupts.*



[Sheamus]
"Arda... I'm gonna tell you something my Great Uncle Fargus once told me,... "Shut up before you're talking out of your arse, fella." To my other opponents in the World Series, listen real good. You see this?" *The camera pans down to Sheamus' right shoe.* "It only takes one of these to put you out. Like I showed tonight... if it means getting one step closer to that spot in the ladder match, I'll hit it on anyone that gets in my way. No matter if you're 100% or if you're injured.
.
.
.
I'm... I'm gonna go now. Take care, fella."

*Sheamus walks off the set shaking his head in disbelief of what he just said. We transition to our next segment/match of the evening.*

XWL Redemption Supershow returns to the air and the cameras head to the backstage where Vickie is backstage taking a quick interview.



[Cameraman]: First off Vickie, I'd like to congratulate you on a job well done, Uprising was a huge success, it'll be pretty hard to beat that.

[Vickie Guerrero]: Thank you, with all the time and effort I put in here at this company, there is no doubt that I leave the people with a quality show. What can I say, they get their money's worth.

[Cameraman]: With Final Stand approaching, we are all aware of the Money In The Bank Ladder matches that will me taking place in which the winner will get a contract in which he or she can cash-in at anytime. Have any superstars of divas caught your eye?

[Vickie Guerrero]: Sure, many of these hard-working men and women have caught my eye and some haven't. I honestly. . .

Before Vickie Guerrero can finish her response, The Miz, comes storming down the hallway as it appears that he's been looking for her all night.



{The Miz}
Really? Really? Reeeeeeaaaaallllly Vickie?! A great job at Uprising?
Thats the worst statement I've heard all my life. What game was you playing with the cage match? Your lucky I took a breather and let Aries climb out or my perfect face may of been in danger.

[Vickie Gurrero
HA HA HA!
Your trying to tell me that you LET Austin Aries climb out of the cage?

{The Miz}
Nobodys trying to tell you anything Vickie. I did tell you. And thats right because you want to know what I thought when I looked up and saw Austin climbing out? I saw a coward.
Thats right Aries.
A coward.
Because you were the one making a run from the fight, you were escaping from being inside the ring with me. A real man, like me, would of stayed and fought. So inside of attempting to stop Aries from escaping Vickie I thought why not just lie here, let him have his little escaping victory because it doesn't effect me. I did not lose as I did not submit or neither was I pinned. So instead of brutally hurting myself and instead of giving the so called fans a show, I put the most important person first. ME! I saved myself from any brutality along with keeping my 5 winning streak in tack. So if anybody, including that so called 'best men that ever lived' have anything to say to me. You know where I am and you know where to find m....

Vickie can be heard giggling as Austin is seen in the distance walking towards the Miz after just hearing everything he said. Austin walks up to Miz and Vickie, dressed to the nines as usual in his custom made suit and sunglasses. Aries slips off his sunglasses and stares daggers at Miz. He holds his pose for a few seconds as Vickie cackles besides him.



{Austin Aries}
You have to be kidding, right?! You LET me win? See that's not the way remember it.. What I remember is me knocking you out cold with my crucifix driver and then crushing your ribs with my signature 450 splash. You could hardly breathe Miz, so don't go around telling people that you let me win, it just makes you seem pathetic and irrelevant.. Oh wait, it's too late for that isn't it? Ha!

Vickie lets out a high pitched laugh , Miz violently stares straight at her, shutting her up.

{Austin Aries}
Last night I did what I set out to do, and that's to prove that you don't deserve to be in this industry Miz, you're not a wrestler, you're just a reality show reject trying to make a name for himself. I showed everyone last night that I am out of your league in that ring, and that I am indeed the greatest man that ever lived! But it looks like I didn't open your eyes to your failures yet, so how about you tell me what I'm going to have to do to rid this company of your horrible smell?Do I have to beat you senseless again tonight, because honestly I don't care if I don't have a scheduled match, I'll beat the living hell out of you, right here right now and still steal the show!

Miz's rage builds up as he goes to attack Aries, but Vickie steps in his way just in time to stop the impact as Aries smirks and laughs at Miz, all the while hiding behind Vickie so that Miz can't get to him.

{The Miz}
Don't run your mouth then hide behind this beached whale because it will take me until Monster Bash just to get to you.

[Vickie Gurrero]
EXCUSE ME!
BEACHED WHALE?!
Talk like that will get you fired if your not careful!

{The Miz}
Fired? Me? Thats a good one Vick. I'm XWL's best assest don't make me laug....

[Vickie Gurrerro]
Right! Slow down before you trip over you ego Miz. I have an idea for you two clowns tonight.
As you should already know I figured one of you would complain about the result so I booked you both for your rematch tonight. But watching you two bicker like two old women has given me a better idea. On a serious note both of you have been impressive as of late.

The Miz and Aries both look at each other with a smug smile then back to Vickie.

[Vickie Gurrerro]
I figured with something on the line you two may actually get your heads screwed on and show everybody what your capable of. So tonight. Miz. Aries. Your match is going to be a number 1 contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship for a shot at Final Stand!!

As Vickie says this she walks away pleased with herself leaving Miz and Aries to both square up shouting at each other who is the best and why. XWL fades out on this shot and pans back in on the next segment.

As we return we are brought backstage where we see the new United States Champion polishing his new title when Matt Striker walks into the camera's view.

Matt Striker: Hey Jeff, you mind answering some questions?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Sure.

Matt Striker: Thanks. Well first off, what was with all those cryptic messages? Why not just tell everyone that you hired Wade Barrett to insure that you would walk out of Uprising as champion?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
What? And scooby doo my plan? The look of surprise on that giant brutes face when Wade turned around and nailed him with that Bull Hammer two weeks ago was more than worth the wait!

Matt Striker: Fair enough... But did you only hire Wade for that one night? I mean, he didn't even as much as show his face during your United States Title Match last night.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
The plan was to have him help even the playing field at the Uprising as well, but unfortunately for me his price went up for Pay Per View events at the last minute and well, lets just say my expenses already were tied down elsewhere.

Matt Striker: Where?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
I said elsewhere. Next question.

Matt Striker: Fine... Now that what you do in your free time is common knowledge, is there anything that you'd like to say to the thousands of fans who once looked up to you and wanted to be just like you?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
What, now you of all people want to judge me too? For years I've been hiding what I truly was just to protect my "fans". But to be honest Matt, I'm sick of putting on my Clark Kent every time I enter the arena, I'm sick of painting this image of myself for my "fans". I am what I am and if that's a problem, if you don't want to follow in my footsteps, then don't. Simple as that. I lived my whole career hiding who I really was, telling these people that I lived in the moment, but I lied. I never was truly living in the moment, I had my future in mind, I knew that if I showed my true self from the get go that I would be ridiculed, and well, it looks like I was right. If I let these people see me for what I really was, what I really am, early in my career I never would have made it where I am today, so I hid my true self, I pretended to be something I never was, I pretended to be something that these people wanted me to be. I opted to have a long career seeking joy rather than a short one full of pleasure. But no more. I always needed my fix whether it was the adrenaline, the crowd's cheers, or my recreational choices, and well, the crowd's cheers just isn't cutting it anymore. I'm not a role model, I never was. I'm the anti-role model of the XWL, and I'm going to embrace it.

Matt Striker: To each his own I guess. Anyways, on to the question that everyone is probably wondering.. Was two weeks ago the last we'll see of your alliance with Wade Barrett?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Last night I saw something in Zeke's eyes that I've never seen before. Fear. Time after time he would look over his shoulder towards the stage, awaiting, dreading the arrival of Wade Barrett that never came. He was nervous and rightfully so. Wade may not have physically helped me last night, but he sure as hell did mentally. So me, being Modest To The Top, realized that I could use Wade's assistance in the future to do what I can't, draw fear out of my opponents. And in return I offered him money of course, and my assistance if he ever needed it. So yes Matt, our mutual agreement will live on for the time being.

Matt Striker: Well as The United States Champion there is a target on the back of your head. Don't you fear that Wade might betray you?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Why don't you ask him yourself.

Jeff looks up as Wade enters the room..


Matt Striker
Wade I was just asking Jeff if him being United States champion would mean you're going to betray him at some point, Now that you're here will it play a factor in if you continue to protect Jeff?


Wade Barrett
Now you see the premise of hiring someone to help you is that they actualy help you, So why would I attack him and cost myself the easiest money ever? Better yet why would he even risk a betrayal from his chosen bodyguard? Now I can't say that I don't plan on becoming United States champion eventually, But it won't be Jeff that I hurt to get it... as long as he can keep paying me. If one week the money isn't there I may be forced to remind him about it.




Matt Striker
Now Wade would you mind discussing what happened two weeks ago briefly with us?

Wade Barrett
Sure I wouldn't mind talking about what happened back then, Two weeks ago a travesty occured I stood across the ring from Yoshi Tatsu someone who's considered a "star" in Japan. In that match he came at me as hard as he possibly could with his little kicks and was lucky enough too land one directly on the side of my head which rocked me a little. Once I'd regained my composure I heard his music for some strange reason so I asked the ref what happened and he told me that Tatsu had pinned me. Tell me this Matt how did that happen?



Matt Striker
Well your shoulders were on the matt and the ref counted three, Anyway that's not what I meant. I was talking about how you made your alliance with Jeff public by attacking Ezekial Jackson in the ring.

Wade Barrett
First off Matt this is not an alliance, He has hired me too do a job and I did it. He hired me too weaken Jackson for their title match and he was weakened, He tried too hire me too interfere in his title match but couldn't afford my PPV rate as he'd already spent that money on some other investments. Anytime he needs my help and has the money for it, I'll be there too ensure his victory simple as that.



Wade takes a step back as Matt looks slightly worried for everyone's saftey before asking Jeff another question

Matt Striker: Well tonight Wade was initially booked against Seth Rollins, but word on the street, or in the locker room rather, is that it will be you Jeff, not Wade, taking on Seth. Why is that?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
I asked Wade if I could replace him in that match and he graciously obliged, of course I promised him the money from the winnings, but still. I appreciate you letting me do this Wade.

Matt Striker: Wait. You're so sure that you're going to win tonight? You know that Seth Rollins is a King of the Ring winner? He even beat Triple H to win it!

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Ha!

Hardy begins to laugh and gently slaps Wade's chest in amusement

{{Jeff Hardy}}
This guy thinking I can't beat Seth Rollins!

Jeff's laughs quickly subside as does a double takes at Wade, who clearly doesn't seem amused, his expression never changing.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Jeez, lighten up man!

Wade's expression grows even more serious, which didn't even seem possible!

Wade Barrett
Jeff, I know that you're paying me good money, and I can appreciate that, but if you put your hands on me like that again, I'll knock you out where you stand.

Hardy begins to nervously laugh, but quickly stops when he realizes that Wade was being serious.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Oh. Well, uhh duly noted. Don't touch Wade.. check. Errhmm. Hey Matt, how bout you ask me another question before uhh.. Well I get hurt. I'm still in a great mood from last nights win and well, obviously Wade's not sooo, yeah.

Wade Barrett
I'm in a great mood.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Clearly... I'd hate to see you in a bad mood then.

Wade Barrett
Then don't touch me again.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Matt? Question? Please?

Matt Striker: Well, you only half answered my initial question. Why do you want to face Seth Rollins so bad?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Isn't it obvious? Seth Rollins got involved in my brother's match with Austin Aries, hell he cost him the match.

Matt Striker: But isn't that exactly what you're asking Wad-

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Hey, still talking here.. You see, I'm the one responsible for getting Matt to return here in the XWL, I personally talked to both Vickie, Hulk, hell even Big Johnny until they finally agreed to give my brother another chance.

Matt Striker: Was this before or after you started doing drugs?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
What? Are you-... If you must know, before... Like it's relevant.. You know you've got a real smart mouth don't you Matt? Hey Wade, I'll give you five bucks to knock Matt out!

Wade thinks for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and cocking his elbow back.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Whoa, whoa, whoa I was kidding!

Hardy stops Wade by grabbing ahold of his elbow before he can strike.

Wade Barrett
What did I say about touching me?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
... Not to do it..

Wade Barrett
And what did you just do?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
I uhh.. well I mean.. I.... but....

Hardy sighs and hangs his head

{{Jeff Hardy}}
... Sorry.

Wade looks from Hardy to Striker then back before shaking his head and leaving out the locker room door saying "I'm surrounded by idiots" under his breath as he goes.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Alright man! See you later tonight! Good talk!

Matt Striker:
Erhhmm. So back to Seth?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Right. Seth. So I put my name on the line to get my brother back here in the XWL and what does Seth do? He cost's him his second match back! And then to make matters worse, last night at Uprising he belittles my brother in front of all these disgusting people, and then slaps him!

Matt Striker: Don't you think that Matt can fight his own battles though?

{{Jeff Hardy}}
Sure. But not when he's being forced to pander to the crowd.

Matt Striker: Forced? It doesn't look that way to me.

{{Jeff Hardy}}
What? So you're telling me you know my brother more than me?

Matt Striker: No it's just that-

{{Jeff Hardy}}
It's just nothing. People like Matt, people like me, we were never supposed to make it in this business. We're either too "out there", too small, too out of shape, too this, too that. So the only way for us to make it is to pander to these people, because if the crowd likes us, then they can't get rid of us, and trust me they would love to get rid of me right now. I had to pander to the crowd upon my return, pretending to fight for them, and it got me my first United States Title match against Sandow, which I won. And once that happened I knew that I was untouchable, that I am untouchable, they can't fire me now, I'm the United States Champion, there's too much riding on my name for them to get rid of me. But my brother? He hasn't reached that point, at least not yet. So he has to continue to pander to these people until he gets there. And because of that he needs to be the "better man", the "role model", he needs to hide his true self like I once did in order to prove to these people that he's worth cheering. So as much as he would like to give Seth the biggest beat down of his life he can't until he's booked in a match against him, or until provoked, because that's what the "good guy" does. But you see Matt, I'm not a good guy, I'm not a role model, I can do what I want, when I want, to whom I want, and not have to care about what these people think about it. So yes Striker, my brother can fight his own battles, but he's my brother, and I'm not just gonna stand idly by while Seth makes his life a living hell. When we were kids I always got picked on because of my hair, my look, my beliefs, and he always stood up for me, he's my big brother. And before you ask, I'm not doing this because I owe him, I'm doing this because he's my brother, and family means more to me than anything in this world, even my United States Title. He used to be the one standing up for me, well this time I have the means to stand up for him, and yes I mean Wade, because tonight's not about winning or losing, tonight's about revenge. And Seth Rollins is going to wish that he never picked a fight with a Hardy because the Hardy's never die, the Hardy's are Modest to the Top, the Hardy's never say never, the Hardy's are extreme, the Hardy's.. Stick together... Now excuse me, I have a matc- a beat down to prepare for... Hey Wade! Wait up man!

Hardy walks out the locker room door, leaving Matt on his own

Matt Striker: Welp, ladies and gentleman, Jeff Hardy! And Seth Rollins, if I were you I'd watch out! It looks like you may just have messed with the wrong family! Back to you Cole!!

We return to ringside where Cole is grinning from ear to ear as the theme of Seth Rollins is playing.

Cole: Ha! You heard that, he said "back to you Cole! Even Striker knows who the voice of the XWL truly is!



King: Yeah, yeah Cole, whatever you say. Ladies and Gentleman, King of the Ring winner Seth Rollins seems to be ready for his match against our United States Champion, Jeff Hardy! But I don't think that Seth even has the slightest idea what he's about to get himself into!

JR: Well he's about to be find out what happens when you mess with a Hardy.. next!








As we return we are greeted by the sound of Jeff Hardy's theme, bringing about a boo heavy mixed reaction.





King: Here he is! The United States Champion! You know, despite what he's done in the past it seems like Jeff's not all that bad after all. I can respect that he wants to get revenge for his brother, maybe Matt's the key to bringing Jeff back to where he belongs, into his "creatures" hearts!

Cole: Yeah? Well according to Jeff the only reason that Matt is, and I quote, "pandering" to the fans is because he needs them... For now. Maybe Jeff's the key to letting Matt show his true self as his brother has done!

JR: Well I sure hope you're right King, not you Cole, I hope you're wrong like you always are!



Hardy makes his way to the ring, never taking his eyes off of Seth, even when Wade enters through the curtain and follows Hardy down the ramp.



Seth Rollins, who is still clearly oblivious to Jeff's intentions, waits for his opponent to enter the ring, which he does, walking up the steps and handing his title to the referee as Wade paces at the foot of the ramp.



The crowd lets out a huge pop as Matt Hardy's theme hits, to the surprise of everyone in the ring.



Jeff looks out on the stage with a look of shock as his brother makes his way down the ring. Seth, who clearly isn't happy about Matt's appearance, begins to walk across the ring towards the side closer to the stage and points towards Matt, furiously yelling "What are you doing out here you son of a bi-" but before he is able to finish his sentence Jeff smacks him across the face with the back of his hand, causing the crowd to cheer as Seth stumbles back in shock!

King: Ha! Looks like Seth's just got a dose of his own medicine!

The ref pulls Hardy away from Seth, waiting for Rollins to recover before ringing the bell, signaling for the match to begin! Seth furiously charges at Jeff as Matt is stopped at the foot of the ramp by Wade.

King: It looks like Jeff paid Wade to make sure that no one got involved, not even Matt!

Matt begins to shout "You don't have to do this!" over Wade's shoulder as Jeff ducks a punch from Seth and floors him with another backhand! Jeff slides out of the ring as Seth gets back to his feet, shaking off the cobwebs.

King: Where is Jeff going?

Jeff searches under the ring apron before pulling out a chair and sliding back into the ring! Seth notices the weapon in Jeff's hand and shouts "What are you doing man?" with fear in his eyes! The ref tries to take the chair away from the champ but to no avail, as Jeff cocks the chair back, threatening to hit the ref with it if he gets any closer. Hardy charges at Seth and swings, but Rollins is able to roll out of the way, backing up into the ring corner on the announcer side of the ring! Jeff has Seth cornered, and shouts "You never should have messed with us Hardy's!" and cocks back the chair!



King: What!! That's Big Zeke's theme!

Hardy turns his back on Seth and looks out to the stage in shock, temporarily distracted by the theme! Seth uses this opportunity to knock the chair out of Jeff's hand and rolls him up into a pin attempt, putting his legs on the ropes out of the ref's line of vision!!! 1.....2.....3!!!!

King: Oh no! Seth used the distraction to pick up the win! Even if his feet were on the ropes! It looks like Zeke, just like Wade last night, made his presence felt without actually making an appearance! Another upset win for Seth Rollins!

Before Seth gets a chance to celebrate his win he is floored by a Bull Hammer from Wade Barrett, rendering him unconscience!!

Cole: What an elbow!! He's going to be seeing stars for days! And I don't mean The Rock, Ted DiBiase, or Chris Jericho, I mean the other type of stars!

Jeff looks furious, picking up the chair and cocking it back as he stands over Seth, but before he is able to strike down with it Matt grabs it out of his hands and throws it out of the ring!

Cole: What!?!? Is Matt defending Seth? Maybe Jeff's not the only Hardy on something!

King: No, no, no Cole. Matt's doing the right thing. Like he should.

Jeff looks at Matt with shock, shouting "What are you doing? I'm doing this for you! Get out of my way!" But Matt doesn't budge! Wade begins to stomp on Seth's lifeless body but Matt pulls the Bare-Kuckle Brawler off! Wade responds by lifting Matt up onto his shoulders in position for the Wasteland!!

Cole: What is Wade doing?!?!?

Jeff shouts "No! Put him down!" causing Wade to shrug his shoulders and say "Okay!" slamming Matt down to the mat with a Wasteland!!! Jeff furiously pushes Wade, asking him "what the hell are you doing?!?" which Wade responds with "I'm not going to let you go soft on me." Before exiting the ring and making his way up the ramp, never looking back. Jeff looks down at his brother with a look of conflict upon his face, then back at Wade before slowly backing away from Matt and following Wade up the ramp as the crowd boos and we go to commercial!

*Redemption returns from a commercial break and is taken backstage where Redemption General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, is shown in her office with both XWL's Foxy Diva, Alicia Fox, and the self proclaimed Anti-Diva of XWL, Paige. Vickie is shown getting more and more annoyed by the second as Fox and Paige are trying to make their claim to being put into the Divas Championship Match at Final Stand V after their Number One Contenders Match a mere twenty four hours ago ended in a draw.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
Ladies...

*Vickie tries to restore order to the commotion going on between these rivals but it's fallen on deaf ears. In an attempt to bring back some peace and quiet to the room, Vickie lets out a shrill scream in the shape of her all to familiar and unique way.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
Excuse me!

*Both women shield their ears from the ear-piercing screech from Redemption's General Manger, bringing silence to the room.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
Now that you two have simmered down, what makes either of you think that you're going to face Kaitlyn at Final Stand, XWL's biggest show of the year?

*Paige goes to speak but is quickly cut off by Fox.*

{Alicia Fox}
Vickie, it is obvious a woman as classy as yourself, would only want someone worthy of holding the Divas Championship to be in a Divas Title match. Paige doesn't even claim to be a diva at all, how can she be XWL's champion? And for the record, I pinned her first! If you watch the replay, you will clearly see that I was cheated out of a victory at Uprising. Paige's leg was hooked before mine. It's only moral to place the rightful winner in the match, Vickie. And, who wouldn't want a more, "Foxy" Final Stand?

*Alicia smiles cutely towards Vickie, seeing absolutely no flaws in the defense she just presented. Paige on the other hand, seemed absolutely disgusted by what Fox had to say, not hesitating to give both ladies a piece of her mind on the matter.*

{Paige}
Do you really believe that, Fox? You have a selective memory, it was my leg that hooked yours first, and whether you like it or not, I am the rightful number one contender to the Divas Championship, not you. And as far as a “Foxy” Final Stand, as you put it, why would any of these people want to spend their hard earned money to see you lose at Final Stand? So it's only fitting that I be awarded with facing Kaitlyn for the Divas Championship, wouldn't you think, Vickie?

*Paige smirks at Fox, before shifting her attention to Vickie, and looks at her with a smile on her face. Fox's jaw is dropped open, but she stops herself before going at it with Paige again, at risk of upsetting Vickie and losing her spot in the title match at Final Stand. Vickie considers both their appeals before beginning to speak.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
While you both make valid points, I think that instead of making a decision, why not let you two go at it again in a rematch from Uprising next week on Breakdown's Supershow? Only instead of risking the match ending in a draw like in the past, the match has to continue until there is one clear winner. What do you ladies think about that?

*Fox and Paige share a glance with a smirk on their faces, obviously content with the decision made by Redemption's General Manager.*

{Alicia Fox}
I could not have said it better myself, Vickie. Thank you, you won't regret this. By the end of next week, I'll show everyone that I was the true winner at Uprising, and I'll look far better than you doing it.

*Alicia gets in Paige's face a bit, obviously confident in her abilities.*

{Paige}
Don't set your hopes too high, Fox, your inevitable fall from your little fantasy world might be too much for you to handle. I'll take pride in knowing that in just seven days, I will shatter your hopes and dreams into a million pieces. You said that this will be the year of the Fox, it won't be. What it will be, is the Year of the Anti-Diva and after I defeat you next week, Kaitlyn will be next and I will take her oh so precious Divas Championship, and there's not a damn thing anybody can do about it.

[???] Hold up one second.

*The three ladies look to the direction of where the voice came from and a split second later, the camera zooms out to reveal Kaitlyn, the Divas Champion herself, walking into view of the camera.*

[Kaitlyn] So let me get this straight, we are talking about who should face me at Final Stand without me involved in this conversation? Now I know I may not be a booker of the show or anything and I really have no power what goes on, but I still think I should have a say in this. I don't think these two divas have a problem with it, especially Paige here, wouldn't you agree, Vickie?

*Paige stares Kaityln down with a look of hate as Vickie shrugs her shoulders.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
I don't see a problem with it, did you happen to have any ideas for what we should do?

[Kaitlyn] As a matter of fact, I did have an idea, Vickie. Now I did a bit of thinking about this situation, the match they had at Uprising to be exact, and I thought a little before coming up with this. Now Alicia... Paige... I would've loved to face both of you at Final Stand in a singles match since I haven't got the chance to face either of you yet and I'm kinda sad that it won't happen. Would've beaten either of you anyway but that is a whole different story that we won't get into.

*Alicia and Paige don't seem to thrilled with Kaitlyn's statement as Kaitlyn continues to speak.*

[Kaitlyn] But think about this. Neither of them won at Uprising, but in other terms, neither of them lost which means, if we pulled a few strings, we could have two number one contenders standing right here. And in case you two aren't bright enough to realize what that means, especially you Paige, I suggest a triple threat at Final Stand V where I'd be willing to defend my championship against not just Paige and not just Alicia but both Paige and Alicia. Sounds pretty awesome to me, what do you say Vickie?

*Alicia and Paige aren't sure what to think because both feel they should be the sole contender but now they both have a title match and Vickie is starting to have a smile grown across her face.*

{Vickie Guerrero}
I like that idea, I really do. So I think we should make it official, right here and right now, a triple threat match at Final Stand V for the Divas Championship between Paige, Alicia Fox and of course, the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn!

[Kaitlyn] Sounds great, should be a pretty fun experience if I do say so myself.

*Kaitlyn smiles as she waves bye to Alicia and Paige before leaving Vickie's office, leaving the two official contenders there. The camera begins to fade to away and we head to the next segment of the night.*

*After the commercial break, we see Aksana standing in the middle of the ring with her theme playing throughout the arena.*





*Her theme song stops as she begins talking.*



[Aksana]
"For the ignorant people here tonight and watching at home who did not watch the Pre-show, my name is Aksana. I am the woman who defeated one half of the Bella Twins, Nikki Bella, without even breaking a sweat. I mean, it's not like I would break a sweat against any other Diva. Just look at me. I am in better shape that every Diva in XWL. Why? Because unlike them, I workout and have a good diet. Unlike them, I do not waste my time doing my nails or wondering which shade of foundation to put on so I can whore myself around the locker room. I do not have to worry about that, because my beauty is natural. Natural... just like my in-ring ability. I proved on the Pre-show, that I am a better competitor than any woman in the back."



[Aksana]
"Tonight, I get to face some no-talent Canadian, Maryse. Maryse and I have our similarities and differences. Similarities... we are both beautiful woman. We are both models. The thing that makes us different is... I am better in this ring than her and smarter than her. She's so dumb, she doesn't know the difference between a wrist lock and a cloverleaf. Maryse is so stupid, she..."

*Aksana is cut off by the theme song of her opponent, Maryse.*

Diva's Match


Aksana vs. Maryse

*A recap of Dean Ambrose vs The Rock is played. The Men of Honor attack as the numbers game is too much for The Rock, Dolph Ziggler in an uncharacteristic act tries to make the save but his hard fought effort wasn't enough. It ends with Dolph being laid out by a lead pipe shot to the back of the head and we pan backstage where an off camera interview is backstage with Vickie and Dolph who appears to be groggy to say the least.*



[Interviewer] Dolph, first of all I'd just like to ask are you alright? You took a hard hit to the head with that lead pipe and I really appreciate you taking the time to speak with us after something like that happened..



[Dolph Ziggler] I'm fine, I'm fine.. I've had worse. You think that hit to the head was bad? Try teaming with Evan Bourne for 2 months. Shoot.

[Interviewer] Alrighty then! First of all I wanna find out your general thoughts on the formation of the Men of Honor and-



[Dolph Ziggler] It's PATHETIC!

[Interviewer] Urm, pathetic?



[Dolph Ziggler] In every god damn sense of the word. How was that justified? I had that match in the bag and now I'm $250,000 down, but that's not the big deal. What matters is a couple of indy scrubs think that they run XWL because they like to attack people from behind. I may not like The Rock but he did nothing to deserve that chairshot from Corey Graves, you wanna know the real reason Corey Graves clocked Rocky over the head with a steel chair? Because Dean Ambrose was getting his ass handed to him and he wanted to protect his group even though they're bound for failure like every other god forsaken "unstoppable alliance" that have stepped foot in XWL. And AJ Styles.. that no good redneck thinks he's going to get away with hitting me with a pipe in the back of the head? Hell no. Who the hell does he think he is? Does he think he's a Man of Honor trying to permanently injure someone like that? I hope he's real proud of himself and I hope Dean and Corey are too because I've got a couple simple words for you guys, I'm still standing!



[Dolph Ziggler] Just HOW these guys can class themselves as Men of Honor is beyond me. Let's start with Corey Graves, that hipster tattoo'd mark. I watched a recording of you guys talking after my match, and you're all hypocrites. Corey, you talked about how this wasn't sour grapes or jealousy yet you spouted off about how "Oh, Dolph Ziggler and everyone else gets these chances and I don't! Me! Me! Me! Give me attention!" That's all I could translate from you two brainwashed idiots. You're hungry for the attention that I have and deep down you are jealous and you should be! You should be jealous of me because I'm actually talented and I'm worth investing in unlike the both of you. You may have worked your ass off for thirteen years but that doesn't make you good. I've done more than you in shorter time because I am a true talent, I deserved the opportunities I was given and I took the ball and ran with it time and time again! And believe me once all of the boys in the back have finally had enough of the Men of Honor you can go back to wrestling in front of 200 people in High School Gyms, and I can go to those same High Schools and give speeches about how great it is to be successful, you know?



[Dolph Ziggler] And AJ Styles.. AJ Styles! You've had your chance in XWL, many many times before. You've had your fifteen minutes of fame, you failed! You lost to Kevin Steen and had your contract terminated and rightfully so, but you came back, had another run and had your contract terminated again and rightfully so. The fact of the matter is you were a big fish in a small pond when you were on the indies and you should've stayed there because you can't handle XWL. You were XWL 15 Champion, you had your name in the spotlight but you blew it by being nothing but a loser who panders to the crowd and it probably doesn't help that you have as much charisma as the lead pipe you like to use as a weapon. Corey, AJ, you're making a lot of enemies very fast and believe me you're not going to get away with this.

[Interviewer] What about Dean?

*At the mention of Dean's name Dolph closes his eyes and takes a deep breath as Vickie looks on with the stern look she's had the whole time.*



[Dolph Ziggler] Don't. Just don't. You don't want to get me started on Dean Ambrose, believe me, now unless you have any other questions...

[Interviewer] Urm, my apologizes. I guess the last question I could ask to round all of this up is what's next for Dolph Ziggler?

*As Dolph is about to answer Vickie puts her hand on Dolph's shoulder and steps up beside him.*

[Vickie Guerrero] Dolph, I've been trying to think of people to be in the Male Money in the Bank match at Final Stand and you were hands down the most deserving person in my eyes. Your work ethic, promotional skills for XWL, you're the complete package! What's why I've taken an interest in your career because I want to see you go to the top, so let that answer your question Mr. Interviewer Man. What's next for Dolph Ziggler is a guarantee'd shot at the World Heavyweight Championship because he's in Money in the Bank!!

*Dolph's eyes widen as a cocky grin comes across his face, he excitedly hugs Vickie before turning back to the camera.*



[Dolph Ziggler] You see that? That's what's next for Dolph Ziggler, Money in the Bank! I'm destined for glory. The Men of Honor are destined for FAILURE! Show!....

*Dolph slicks his hair back with one hand and looks back at Vickie before turning back to the camera.*

[Dolph Ziggler] Off!

*Dolph flicks his hand towards the camera and walks by as we head back to ringside.*

[Michael Cole] Blockbuster news! "The Showoff" Dolph Ziggler is heading to Final Stand as one of the participants in Money in the Bank, that's true talent recognition right there by Vickie Guerrero!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] I'm sure Mr. Ambrose and the Men of Honor won't be too pleased about this situation, seems like a bit of favouritism to me.

[Jim Ross] You can say that again King, you just know Dean won't take this lightly seeing as Dean beat Dolph at Uprising and now Dolph is in Money in the Bank?

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] I have a feeling things are just getting started between these two..

*We then head out to a video package for The Straight Edge Warrior, CM Punk!*

King: Look who it is! John Cena! And would you listen to that reaction!



The crowd erupts as the CeNation leader shoots out through the curtain, speaking into the camera "I'm back and better than ever!"



Cena slides into the ring as the crowd continues to go wild, he runs the ropes in his usual fashion before requesting a mic. He looks around at the crowd, which evokes an even bigger set of cheers, before beginning to speak.

{{{John Cena}}}
I'm baaaaack!

The crowd's cheers grow as Cena smiles before continuing.



{{{John Cena}}}
Man it's been way too long since I've stood in the middle of this ring and heard this reaction that I've been missing so, so much. The cheers, the boos, all of it. Dang it feels good to be back!

Cena waits for the crowd to settle down before speaking once more.

{{{John Cena}}}
All night I've been sitting in the back with butterflies in my stomach, and not from being nervous, oh no, I wasn't nervous, I was excited. I was dying to come out here and see all of you once again! Whether you've missed me or not, I've missed you.

Once again Cena is forced to stop as the crowd's cheers drown him out

{{{John Cena}}}
So Final Stand is approaching, and although it seems like I might have missed the boat for the Money in the Bank Match, I promise you that I'll still be on the Grandest Stage of them all one way or another, and more importantly I promise you that I will be your World Heavyweight Champion once again, whether it takes five months or five years that World Title will be around my waist because I'm telling you, it's been far too long since John Cena's held that belt! Far too long! But for now I'm goi-



Alberto Del Rio's theme hits and the Mexican Aristocrat makes his way down to the ring!

King: How rude! Alberto Del Rio just interrupted John Cena's return speech!

Cole: No one wanted to hear it anyways! I know I'd rather see Cena tapping out to the Cross Arm Breaker then hear him speak!



King: Yeah well Cena doesn't look too happy about it.



Del Rio enters the ring and immediately is upon Cena! Grabbing the CeNation leader by his shirt and throwing him to the mat where he mounts him and begins to dish out an array of punches!

King: Hey! Cena wasn't even ready!

The ref signals for the bell to ring and the match quickly gets under way! Cena is able to power Del Rio off of him, but before John is able to even take his shirt off Alberto is upon him once again! The two lock up and… The match goes back and forth, Alberto working the arm and Cena showing his resiliency by never giving up, no matter how much pain Del Rio is able to put his arm through! After a lot of back and forth and a commercial break Cena is finally able to gain some momentum.. Shoulder Block! Shoulder Block! Spin-out powerbomb! Cena throws his hand in the air as the crowd goes wild… "You can't see me".. Five Knuckle Shuffle!! Cena hoists Del Rio onto his shoulders and… ATTITUDE ADJUST- No!!!!! Del Rio elbows his way off of Cena's shoulders, stumbling away from Cena! He then charges at the CeNation leader but John is able to counter with a drop toe hold!! Cena then locks on the STF!!! .. But the ref has his back turned!! Ricardo is distracting him!! Cena looks frustrated, slapping the mat and picking himself up off of Del Rio!! He sprints over to the apron where Ricardo is standing and still arguing with the ref! Cena grabs Ricardo by his collar and lifts him up and over the ropes into the ring!! He lifts him up onto his shoulders to the crowd's delight but before he is able to do anything Del Rio delivers a huge enziguri to Cena's temple! The CeNation leader drops like a sack of potatoes, sending Ricardo sprawling to the mat as well! Alberto goes for the pin as Ricardo frantically rolls out of the ring!…1…..2…. Kick out!! What will it take to put Cena away? Alberto slaps the mat in frustration and dares Cena to get up, ready to apply the cross-armbreaker! Cena slowly gets to his feet and CROSS ARM BRE- No!!! Cena powers Del Rio off of him and into the ropes! Del Rio rebounds off of the ropes and Cena is able to lift him onto his shoulders!!! ATTITUDE ADJUSTME- No!!! Ricardo pulls Del Rio off of Cena's shoulders! Del Rio and Ricardo roll to the outside of the ring where Rodriguez checks on Alberto, making sure he's okay! Cena looks fed up, sliding out of the ring and decking Ricardo with a huge clothesline before throwing Del Rio back into the ring! Cena looks down at Ricardo to make sure that he won't cause anymore trouble before sliding into the ring where Del Rio hits him with a LOW BLOW!! The ref calls for the bell!! The match has just ended in DQ!!! Cena falls, clutching his groin as Del Rio locks on the Cross Arm Breaker!!! Cena writhes in pain as the ref tries to get Del Rio off but to no avail!! Del Rio is going to break Cena's arm!! It finally takes three refs to pry Del Rio off of Cena, but Alberto isn't done yet! He slides out of the ring unbeknownst to the refs and grabs a chair! He reenters the ring, threatening the refs with the chair causing them to scatter! He pries Cena's arm out, aims at it, and swings down with all his might!!

King: He's trying to end Cena's career!

At the last second, to the relief of the crowd, Cena is able to roll out of harms way, causing Del Rio to smash the canvas with the weapon! Alberto drops the chair as the impact causes pain to shoot up into his own hands! Cena uses all his will to get back to his feet and lift Del Rio onto his shoulders!! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!! Cena grabs the chair and delivers a huge shot to Ricardo, who just entered the ring to aid Del Rio, only to be knocked back to the outside!

King: Ricardo's down!

Cena then glares down at Del Rio with a look of rage and delivers a huge chair shot!!

King: It's payback time!

Just as Cena is about to smack DelRio with the chair for the second time but he is stopped in his tracks by a familiar theme.



Daniel Bryan's entrance music covers the arena as the crowd goes wild for his much anticipated return to action. Daniel ru down the ramp with a microphone in his hands, ignoring all of the children from the crowd trying to get his attention. Daniel stops at the top of the ramp and lifts the mic to his lips.



{Daniel Bryan}
No! No! No! No! No!

Cena sighs at Bryan who runs up the steps as DelRio quickly rolls out of the ring and hightails it backstage.



{Daniel Bryan}
Cena, what on earth are you doing? You of all people should know that you can't allow your anger to take you over, you have to find a way to control it, if you don't you'll end up doing something you regret, something that you can't come back from. If I hadn't stopped you from unleashing your anger upon poor Alberto just now, who knows what you would have done? You could have injured his arm, you could have even broken his neck and ended his career, is that what you want Cena? Do you want to be known as the violent thug who goes around hitting people with chairs and ending their careers?

Cena goes over to the ring and calls for a mic, the ring announcer rushes over to hand him one as Cena turns back to Bryan and raises the microphone to his mouth, but before he has a chance to speak Bryan cuts him off.



{Daniel Bryan}
Of course you don't, who would? Everyone knows that nobody respects an angry,brutal bully, I mean just look at Kane, you don't want to end up like him.. Think of your fans Cena, think about all of these wonderful little kids at ringside with their "You can't see me" Hats and their "Rise Above Hate" T-Shirts". Can you really go against the beliefs you've placed upon these people? How will you be able to show your face each and every week to the ones who followed you throughout you career, cheering your name no matter what knowing that you let them down by expressing your inner hate?

Cena lifts the mic to his mouth once more only to be cut off again by Bryan.



{Daniel Bryan}
You see this is exactly the sort of situation that called me back to this company, but in all honesty, I never expected to see such hatred on my first day back, especially from you.. I mean you turning your back on these fans would be like Superman turning his back on the people of metropolis, it just isn't supposed to happen, it's not natural, it doesn't make any sense and the only thing that it ultimately acomplishes is confusing children and comic book fans all around the world. I know that you don't want that Cena, you don't want to confuse all your little fans, so you're going to need me to help you rid you of your inner demons . As I'm sure you know from all the posters that I put up backstage and all around the arena for that matter, I have started my own Anger Management Course in which I help all the lost souls in this company to find their way out of the darkness and back into the light. Unfortunately though for some strange reason that just elludes me, no one has signed up yet.

John stares at Bryan mocking him with a look of shock and awe but Bryan doesn't realise and believes Cena is truly as surprised as he is.



{Daniel Bryan}
Oh I know, I couldn't believe it either. I thought I'd have superstars knocking down my locker room door just begging me to take them under my wing, but since I don't.. I've decided to take it upon myself to sign superstars up, and I've been watching them all closely. I had a few names written down on my sign up sheet. Antonio Cesaro for one, speaking to that waitress the way he did, that man has no manners. Then there was Jeff Hardy, a man who has indeed lost his way in the darkness, and he was to be my first lucky student. That is of course until you lost your way too. Now I bleieve there is no greater cause here for me than to bring you back Cena, so I'd like to offer you the chance of a lifetime, join my class and learn from your failures, I promise I will open your eyes to wonders that you never even imagined. What do you say?

Daniel lowers his mic. Cena waits a while before lifting his mic back up to his lips, he then looks at Bryan for a while expecting to be interrupted again, but Bryan seems content with staying quiet for now. A large smirk comes across Cena's face as he begins to speak.



{{{John Cena}}}
You know what Daniel? You're right, I did lose my cool, and I'm sorry… I'm sorry that you had to see that, I'm sorry that Alberto had to be apart of that, and most of all I'm sorry that all of my fans had to witness it.. You know I've watched many superstars come and go here in the XWL, I've seen many faces, many personalities, many authority figures, whether for better or worse, but there's always been one constant, one man who hasn't changed his look, who refused to compromise his beliefs, who always kept the same positive attitude no matter who appreciated him for it.. One man who woke up every morning with a smile on his face regardless of how many bumps or bruises were on his body because he knew that he was about to go do something that he loved more than anything in this world no matter who cheered him or booed him for it. One man who invoked one of the biggest reactions from this crowd whether it be positive, negative, or both at the same time yet still put his head down, took it with a grain of salt, and ran down that ramp to perform for the same people that chanted "You Suck" because he knew that he was doing what was best for this company. You want to guess who that man is Daniel?

Bryan goes to answer Cena's question but John cuts him off this time.





{{{John Cena}}}
That man was.. is me. This right here, these people, this ring, this microphone, these barriers, that ring bell, the chairs laying underneath the apron, Michael Cole, King, JR, hell even Justin Roberts over there, everything about this business has become a part of me. Without this I don't know where'd I be, I couldn't picture myself doing anything else, anywhere else, this, right here, performing in front of these people, it's what I was bred to do, meant to do, and born to do, it's where I belong. As long as the sun rises, as long as I'm still breathing, I'll be here, always.. And these people know it, the chairman knows it, the board of directors know it, heck even John Laryngitis knows it, and that's why I'm the one on the commercials, I'm the one on the magazines, I'm the Make A Wish ambassador, I'm the most requested superstar, I'm the one in the movies although not for years at a time *cough, cough* seven *cough* like someone I know, you see Daniel, I might not be the face of the XWL.. Yet, but I sure as heck have become the social ambassador, because I'm here to stay. I'm the one that the XWL can count on, I'm the one who's dedicated my life to all of this right here more than anything else in the world. I'm not going to leave.. ever. This..

Cena performs the "You Can't See Me Taunt"

{{{John Cena}}}
Is known worldwide, my face is known worldwide, my name is known worldwide. And that knowledge, that responsibility, that's a lot of pressure, but I've dealt with it, I deal with it, I embrace it. Heck, just the other week I was doing an interview to promote Final Stand, and the fact that I've been so busy that I haven't had a chance to be inside my own house in months came up and I was asked; "Hey Cena, when are you going home?" and you know what I told him? I told him that I'll be going home on February Second, when I return to the XWL live here in Louisville, Kentucky!!!

The crowd goes absolutely wild as Cena looks up with a huge smile





{{{John Cena}}}
You hear that?.. Cena… Cena…. Cena… Wait for it…. Cena… sucks… Cena…. sucks… Cena… sucks… Cena...That's what I've dealt with, that's what I'm dealing with, that's what has become my reality… And the truth is Daniel, I'm one hundred percent okay with it, it's a part of the job, it's part of who I am, and more importantly it's made me what I am today. I don't blame them for hating me, I don't feel bitter, not one bit. But if you think that for one second that those chants are going to phase me, well you've got another thing coming. You see I'm not going to change who I am to try and please everyone, that's what would make me a phony, there's a reason why my look, my attitude, and my beliefs have stayed the same the past ten years, it's because it's not a shtick, it's not a "gimmick" if you will. This right here, it's who I am, and I'm going to remain who I am no matter what. These wrist bands, this hat, this T-Shirt, they're not just apparel, not to me, no, they're a way of life, my way of life, and I'm damn proud of it!!! I won't let words like Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect crumble no matter what reaction I get, because if I were to compromise myself in any way shape or form.. I wouldn't be able to look in the mirror every morning when I wake up or every night before I go to sleep. You see I've dealt with hate my whole career, I've been ridiculed, I've been targeted, but no matter what's been thrown my way I've always learned to Rise Above. Other superstars have been, and most likely still are jealous of what I've become, they probably think that they should be where I am, that they should the household name. But the difference between me and them, the difference between us and them Daniel.. Is that we're not here for the money, we're not here for the fame, we're not here for any of that, you know why we're here Daniel?

Once again Bryan opens his mouth to respond and once again Cena cuts him off.

{{{John Cena}}}
I know you probably think I'm going to say the fans, but that's only a part of it, no, we're here because it's what we love to do. And that right there is all the difference in the world, that's what makes us stand apart from everybody else. I love coming out here no matter the reaction I get. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I believe that a man's character is not judged by how much he is loved, but by how much he is willing to get up when his back is against the wall! These people have paid their had earned money to be here, and I'm not going to tell them what to say, they've earned their right to chant whatever they want..

The crowd erupts into a "Lets Go Cena, Cena Sucks" chant, as Cena looks around with a smile.





{{{John Cena}}}
It's going to be a rough road for me and the CeNation, and we're just getting started, but I'm okay with that. I've seen so many Make A Wish children and you know what I tell each and every one of them? I tell them to Never Give Up, and I'm not just saying it to say it, I believe it, I really and truly do. That's why I'm never going to change, I'm never going to give in, I will always be here, always Rising Above, and Never Giving Up. And my hope is that the people who chant "Cena Sucks" will realize that they're not going to change my beliefs, that instead I plan on changing theirs, even if it's just one fan a night. So boo me, chant "Cena Sucks" all you want, but I'll Rise Above, I won't let my anger get the best of me.. But when someone like Alberto Del Rio tries to injure me with that cross arm breaker, when he takes it farther than two men competing..

You can see the flash of anger in Cena's eyes as he continues.





{{{John Cena}}}
When he tries to injure me, when he tries to take me away from these people, when he tries to take away what I love, then and only then do I get angry!!! Then I lose my cool!

Cena is almost yelling by now as Bryan looks on with his eyebrows raised

{{{John Cena}}}
Then I'll do whatever it takes to prove that I'll stand up for myself! The-


Bryan cuts Cena off this time.




{Daniel Bryan}
Woah woah woah! You know for a second you almost had me there, I was starting to believe that I may have misread the situation, how could I have possibly been so blind as to believe that John Cena, that Superman would turn his back on his people? I was starting to believe that I was wrong, which I never ever am. I stood here and listened to you tell me how much you love what you do, how much that you love your fans and that you have no hatred in your entire body because you rise above it. I watched you transform back into this happy-go-lucky persona that you've tried so hard to maintain throught your life Cena, that is of course until you thought about hurting DelRio again. Even you know that this charade of yours won't pull the wool over our eyes for much longer, these people may be blind to your demons now, but not me, no I can see the hatred in your eyes. It's a look I'm far too familiar with, a look that, if not dealt with could ruin your life. If we don't tackle this problem as soon as we possibly can, then next time I'm afraid you'll do a lot worse than smack someone with a chair. The hate is boiling up inside you Cena, it needs to be contained, you have no choice but to let me help you now, you must allow me to save you for all these good people in the crowd today and all of the fans watching at home, Cena don't let them down again, show them that you're a good person, show them that you're not afraid of changing, be their hero and destroy the hate coursing within your veins by signing up to my Anger Management Course.

Daniel reaches into his sock and pulls out a sheet of paper, he unfolds the paper and hands it to Cena to sign.


{Daniel Bryan}
Does anyone have a pen?





{{{John Cena}}}
Yes.

{Daniel Bryan}
Huh?

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes.

{Daniel Bryan}
Yes you'll sing up.. or?

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
What are you doing?

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
Stop.

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
Seriously stop it.

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes! Yes! Yes!

The whole crowd begins to chant "Yes! Yes! Yes!" causing Bryan to slowly begin to lose his cool

{Daniel Bryan}
No! No! N-

Bryan stops himself, taking a deep breath. He stops shaking his head no, closing his eyes before extending his arms out for a hug.

{{{John Cena}}}
What are you doing?

Bryan shushes Cena, extending his arms even wider, motioning with his hands for Cena to come to him.

{{{John Cena}}}
I don't even.. I'm not going to hug you.

Bryan raises his eyebrows at Cena before speaking.

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks.

{{{John Cena}}}
What?

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks.

{{{John Cena}}}
Excuse me?

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks!

{{{John Cena}}}
Stop.

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks!!

{{{John Cena}}}
I mean it man.

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks! Cena Sucks! Cena Sucks!

The crowd begins to chant with Bryan "Cena Sucks!"





{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks!

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
Cena Sucks!

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
No!

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
No!

{{{John Cena}}}
Yes!

{Daniel Bryan}
Yes!

{{{John Cena}}}
No!.. I mean Yes!..

Bryan smirks as the crowd laughs and extends his arms once again. The crowd stops their "Cena Sucks" and "No!" chants and begin to chant "Hug! Hug! Hug!". Cena looks around at the chanting crowd before finally shrugging his shoulders

{Daniel Bryan}
You know you want to!

{{{John Cena}}}
Ah what the heck!

The crowd goes absolutely wild as the two hug it out! As they break apart Bryan extends the piece of paper to Cena.

{Daniel Bryan}
See, didn't that feel better?

Cena sighs and rolls his eyes before smiling.

{{{John Cena}}}
Alright, alright, someone get me a pen! King, JR, Cole you guys must have one laying around there!

Cena takes the piece of paper, and receives a pen from King, causing the crowd to cheer once again.




{{{John Cena}}}
Alright Bryan, I'll humor you. On one condition. Next week we have a match. John Cena versus Daniel Bryan. You keep referring to me as the Superman of the XWL huh? Well Superman had a utility belt of powers, super strength, super speed, flight, heat vision, freezing cold breath.. Of course I have none of these seeing as I'm only human like everyone else. However my utility belt does consists of the CeNation, my wristbands, T-shirt, hat and most importantly what they all stand for. But I also have my tour bus, my crew, and of course my frequent flyer miles. So I'll tell you what Daniel, whoever wins next week will be able to use all of those until Final Stand. Winner gets to live the life of "Superman". And as for the loser? Well how about this. You're known as one of the best Indy stars right? I've heard stories of you having to sleep on floors, drive miles at a time, the whole nine yards. So.. The winner gets to fly, on me, to each arena, and the loser has to drive, not in a tour bus, but in a normal car, from now until Final Stand. Drive versus Fly. What do you think Daniel? Do we have a deal? Yes or No?

Bryan strokes his beard as he mulls over Cena's challenge, he then raises the mic to his lips.

{Daniel Bryan}
Well I wasn't planning on throwing you into the deep end so soon, you have to walk before you can run and all that, but if you believe that you'd actually be able to step out of the life of luxury that you've been living for the past decade, this may actually be what you need to destroy the hate within you. Because believe me Cena, there isn't a chance that you won't get angry trying to find your way across the country with nothing but the clothes on your back and a small bag of supplies. You'll have no choice but to learn to control your feelings, because if you don't they'll take control of you. Besides, it could be pretty darn funny to see you in such a situation, so you have a deal Cena. Now hurry up and sign that sheet, It's almost time for my dinner.



Cena tries his best not to laugh at Bryan as he signs the paper.

{{{John Cena}}}
You know Daniel. I've signed my name countless times, on contracts, photographs, magazines, you name it, but never in my life did I expect this.

Cena hands the signed paper back to Bryan who looks over it with a huge grin.

{{{John Cena}}}
I'll see you next week Daniel!

{Daniel Bryan}
No, I'll see you next week.

{{{John Cena}}}
That's what I said, I'll see you next week.

{Daniel Bryan}
No! I'll see you next week!

{{{John Cena}}}
I know. I'll see you next week.

{Daniel Bryan}
No! No! No! I'll see you next week!



{{{John Cena}}}
Alright. We'll see each other next week.

{Daniel Bryan}
Fine!

{{{John Cena}}}
Fine.

{Daniel Bryan}
Fine!

{{{John Cena}}}
.. Fine.

{Daniel Bryan}
Fine!

{{{John Cena}}}
Alright then.

Cena extends his hand to Daniel but to the crowd's surprise Bryan slaps it away. He then extends his arms once again for a hug as the crowd begins to cheer.

{{{John Cena}}}
The things I do for this job!

Cena and Bryan hug it out once again as the crowd goes wild.



King: There you have it ladies and gentleman! John Cena versus his new "mentor?" Daniel Bryan next week! In a Fly versus Drive Match! I can't wait!!!

We then go to commercial as both Bryan and Cena climb onto opposite turnbuckles to soak up the cheers.

There’s not a peep from the crowd as Rosa Mendes’ theme hits and the sultry latina diva makes her way out from the back. She gets the men in the audience going when she swings her hips side to side in a little salsa dance on the stage, but she doesn’t seem to be much for the people as she ignores their outstretched hands all the way down the ramp. Rosa steps between the ropes and gets into the ring and throws up her hands cockily and the people boo a little. Rosa snatches the microphone out of the ring announcers hands and immediately begins shouting into the microphone.

Rosa Mendes
You guys take a good hard look because you will never be good enough to get a piece of any of this. I’m a goddess, I’m muy caliente, and it’s about time that XWL stop treating me like I’m not one of the best women in the division. I’ve been here before, I’ve dominated here before and as a thank you for putting the division on the map, XWL told me to pack my bags and hit the road. Well I’m back and I’m better and as you can see with your own two eyes I’m more fit and hotter than I’ve ever been. Tonight is your lucky night because I’m going to show you what I’m made of by defeating any woman who’s brave enough to step into the ring with me. I may be pretty but I know how to kick ass, and the lady who steps through that curtain is in for one of the biggest ass kicking of her life. So don’t keep me waiting because as I’m sure you know a woman like has plenty of other things I could be doing with my time.

Rosa drops her microphone and starts beckoning for someone to come out and challenge her and then she…

Darkness.

Not a thing in the arena can be seen and the people begin to cheer because this can only mean one thing. The lights come on and MsChif isn’t in the ring and she’s standing behind Rosa with a handful of hair in her hand. MsChif shouts “You’re just what I needed” then she throws Rosa forward and her face bounces off the mat. As Rosa picks herself off the ground the Ref calls for the bell and this match gets started.





Rosa tosses MsChif out of the ring and for a brief moment she’s allowed to catch a breather. She could wait in the ring and let MsChif get counted out, but she came out here with a goal in mind and she’s going to accomplish it. Now that Rosa’s got a little bit of control she’s going to hopefully ride the momentum to a victory. Rosa rolls out of the ring and approaches MsChif who quickly rises up and knees Rosa in the gut then clubs her on the back with her fists.

MsChif stands up tall and she has a smirk on her face because the outside of the ring is where the true danger lies. MsChif grabs Rosa by the throat then hoists her into the air and slams her down with a choke bomb. Rosa’s back bounces off the thin padding on the ground and just looking at her face you can tell she’s in considerable pain. MsChif grabs and fist full of Rosa’s hair and pulls her to her feet then MsChif throws her forcefully into the barricade. MsChif walks over to Rosa then begins to repeatedly drive her back first into the barricade. Finally MsChif charges and connects with a huge big boot that knocks Rosa over the barricade and into the crowd. MsChif now walks over to the time keeper and grabs a microphone.

MsChif
Was that the best you have to offer? Was that all the talent and the skill that you possessed that makes you special? Well color me impressed, Rosa, because I wasn’t expecting you to be so weak. I was expecting a woman who talked as much as you do to put up a bigger fight than you did, but I guess that was just me expecting too much out of you, it’s a mistake that I won’t make again. It’s a mistake that XWL once made, thinking that you had the potential to make a name for yourself, but instead you made a joke out of this division and that’s why you were kicked out.

As The Ref’s count hits 9 MsChif rolls into the ring and The Ref begs her to stay in so he can count to 10 and end the match but MsChif ignores him and rolls out of the ring forcing him to restart.

MsChif
Beauty can only get you so far before you’re exposed for the hideous beast you are on in the inside and shunned from the place you thought you belonged. You don’t belong here, Rosa, you’re not welcomed here. If you’re not here to fight, to struggle, to bleed like the rest of us then I don’t want you here, and I’ll do my part in getting rid of you. You’ve only just returned and as far as I’m concerned, you’ve overstayed your welcome.

Rosa has finally crawled over the barricade and is back in the ringside area. MsChif follows her barking into the microphone as Rosa tries to make it back inside of the ring.

MsChif
I can see it in your eyes, you’re not used to this kind of pain… you don’t like this kind of pain and that’s a shame because in due time, when your soul is sentenced to an eternity of torture and torment, pain will be all you know. This is only the beginning, the fun hasn’t even started yet.

Rosa pulls herself back into the ring and MsChif is right behind her with the microphone still in her hand.

MsChif
I don’t look at you and see Michelle, I’m not doing this to send a message to her, I’m doing this because I enjoy it. You’ve made yourself an easy target, Rosa, and in turn you made yourself easy prey. I’m not picking on the weak, I’m exposing the frauds who tried to get us to believe that they were strong. You’ve failed the test, you’re not the woman you tried to make people believe you are, you’re no different than Michelle… but your punishment will be more swift while hers will be drawn out so that I can savor every scream.

MsChif drops her microphone as Rosa gets to her feet and the battle continues.



MsChif had the match won after hitting the Desecrator but for whatever twisted reason she broke the pin and tossed Rosa out of the ring and now The Ref has begun his 10 count.

1

MsChif pulls Rosa to her feet then she lifts her onto her shoulders for a powerbomb and tosses Rosa into the ring post!

2

Rosa collapses to the ground and MsChif is right there and jumps onto her back and immediately hits a moonsaults right after.

3

Still on the ground MsChif begins pounding away at Rosa’s exposed face then she gets onto her feet and screams while the crowd cheers along.

4

MsChif stands there and watches with a grin on her face as Rosa tires to crawl away.

5

Rosa tries to slide under the bottom rope but MsChif quickly grabs her by the legs and pulls her out of the ring.

6

Rosa lands with a tub back to the outside and MsChif takes her by the legs again and swings her into the barricade.

7

Then MsChif drags Rosa over by the steel stairs and swings her into that too with such force that the top half of the stairs flies off.

8

MsChif then falls back and catapults Rosa into the ring post and her head bounces off and Rosa slumps against it.

9

MsChif takes Rosa by the head and goes to bash it against the post but Rosa stomps on her foot and tires to run into the ring but MsChif grabs her by the hair and shots “There’s no escape anymore.”

10

The Ref calls for the bell but even though the match is finished, MsChif isn’t. She pulls Rosa away from the ring by her hair then she slams her down onto the ground. The Ref comes down and tries to get MsChif to stop but it’s all in vain as MsChif screams in his face and pushes him out of her way. Rosa has crawled mid-way up the ramp until her progress is stopped by MsChif blocking her path. Rosa looks up and begs MsChif to leave her alone and in response MsChif says, “You don’t deserve mercy” before she sprays Rosa in the face with the green mist leaving the poor woman on the ground screaming as the mist burns at her eyes.



MsChif’s theme and the cheers of the crowd drown out Rosa’s screams of pure agony. Medics rush out to tend to her but the damage has already but done and she may never see again. With her work here done, MsChif turns and heads backstage as there’s another woman she needs to settle a score with.
