XWL Redemption Supershow: 2/17/2013 - 2/24/2013

*As the XWL Redemption Supershow returns from a break the XWL cameras pan to the commentator board to see Michael Cole, Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross at ringside.*




[JR]Welcome back folks to a great and entertaining episode of XWL Redemption as tonight have have a great stacked card that should be one for the ages. We have what should be a wrestling clinic as the out-spoken rebellious Seth Rolins takes on the young but soft-spoken Yoshi Tatsu. It should be a great match!

[JR] That seems really nifty and convenient Cole, I hope our fans here enjoy that deal because we always bring the best to our fans.



*The camera then pans away from the commentators as then suddenly the lights go out as everyone in the crowd to the commentators is shocked as to what has happened and who can be possibly coming out*



[JR] Wait, what the hell just happened do we have a power outage on our hands?!


[King] I sure hope not JR, we just paid the electricity bill last week.



[Cole] King, you make the worst jokes...



[King] Oh, would you just shut u-



*Before King, could make his comment the cameras pan to the stage as a unfamiliar theme hits the PA system.*










[JR] Oh My God.......



[King] Is that who I think it is?!



[Cole] It can't be. It's..... it's.... RYBACK! The monster who has recently in the past few months has destroyed all of the competition in our developmental program and all across the U.S. Now he just recently signed with XWL but I didn't know that he would show up tonight.


[King]No kidding this guy looks like he can eat 200 horses in one hour... and that's an understatement. If this guy lives up to all the hype he has received recently then their is no doubt in my mind that we might have a new XWL Champion on our hands quickly.


[JR] You might be correct King. I had the chance to see this guy in our developmental program a few months ago and he has over exceeded our expectations. All of the other scouts said that he might be our new champion within two weeks just because of his brute strength and his fiery competitiveness. And in my opinion I certainly wouldn't doubt it. This man is a monster and I feel bad for Matt Hardy because for one he has to go up against this beast in a few minutes while still keeping his eye out for his rival Seth Rollins. And this gorilla Ryback looks pumped up and ready to jack someone up tonight and pour BBQ sauce on 'em.



*As Ryback walks out to the ring he gets a mixed reaction to the crowd as some look awe-shocked while others are waiting to see what he will do as he forcefully grabs a microphone and begins to speak*









Ryback: Now I know what you are all thinking at this exact same moment. You are thinking to yourselves, "This guy is a monster he is the immediate champion of this company he will destroy everything in his path no matter what the cost is or who the person is. He is willing to do anything to spill blood and feed his hunger until he achieves the most important thing their is to achieve, and that is to become a champion. The greatest champion in this company's history." That is what you all should be thinking right now if you people had any brains but you probably don't. Now let me make something crystal-clear for all of you right now. I did not come here to impress you all and have popular T-Shirts and accessories. I did not come here to be the most talked about guy or the most overrated guy. I did not come here for the money or the fame or the fortune that brings along with being a pro-wrestler. I come here to be one thing and one thing only and that is to be the greatest in the world of wrestling.






[Ryback] Let me get something in you 're heads people. I am not here to just go through the motions on the little machine XWL cooperate has on their secret agendas. I AM THE MACHINE! I am the ultimate destroying monster. I dare ANYONE in this company young or old to right now step up to the plate against a mammoth like me. But y'know I guess that won't happen because everyone here are just a bunch of ass-kissing pussies! Yeah I said it who's going to stop me. Well I know NOBODY!. I am pumped up full of adrenaline and I am hungry for killing anything in my path. I am hungry for success, greatness, achievement and championships. I don't care if it is the Intercontinental Championship, the United States Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, or the XWL championship because to be quite honest I don't give a damn I might just win them all! I am that damn great and you people better believe it. I won't just be headlining main-events i'll be destroying them with my popularity. But y'know what I don't care about that. All I care about right now is my hunger for succeeding in this company.




[Ryback]So you people can be standing there in the crowd with your little Iphone's and tablet's flashing photography in my face. Quite honestly I hate that but if it's what will get you people to respect me because you are looking at the single-greatest man this shell-brain of a company has ever seen in it's history. Now some of you might be skeptical of my skills but that's totally fine because I thrive making those kinds of people wrong fro doubting my in-ring skills. Because tonight a little child I like to call all of my opponents and none are any different from who they call Matt Hardy. Once I signed my contract earlier tonight they told me I was going to have my first match against him later this evening. I was and still am totally excited to show all of my doubters and bandwagon internet dweebs tonight that I AM THE GREATEST WRESTLER YOU PEOPLE HAVE EVER SEEN AND WILL SEE IN YOUR LIFETIME! Matt, if you are watching this right now back there whimpering like the pansy you are your thoughts shouldn't be on Seth Rollins, oh no they shouldn't he is the least of all of you're problems. The thing you should be focusing on is me and what I will do to you tonight because it will be so devastating that you will probably barley perform in this ring again. So you better be extra prepared buddy because quite frankly you're first on my eating list. And everyone else back there should be listening because all of you will parish and bow down to the terminator myself Ryback. FEED ME MORE..... FEED ME MORE.... FEED ME MORE!


*The crowd then stars chanting these words "Feed Me More!" along with Ryback as he violently slams the microphone down as he keeps chanting as the XWL cameras fade to a commercial.*


P.S: Sorry for the pics being so large I had to quickly screen-cap them from Youtube I didn't know they were that large originally I'll try to make them more smaller next time. I hope you all enjoyed it though

*As Redemption cameras return to ringside after a short commercial, the crowd then hears this theme.



*The crowd boos very loudly as one of their former heroes makes his way onto the stage, unusually decked out in rouge policemen wear that could be compared to what the Big Bossman wore when he was wrestling. Seth Rollins has a neutral look on his face however once he gets down the ramp he does a smirk as he realizes how much hate he is receiving.

[Jim Ross]
Well here comes the man whether you love him or hate him, scored a pinfall victory over the United States Champion Jeff Hardy 2 weeks ago.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Although I like Big Zeke, I wish he wouldn't have distracted Jeff now we're gonna hear about it for the next millennium.

[Michael Cole]
Oh would you give me a break King? Seth didn't even need Zeke's help he just took what was given to him. And another thing Hardy had the deck stacked with aces up his sleeves with Matt Hardy and Wade Barrett and still couldn't get the job done, so Seth deserved that win.

[King]
Seth doesn't desrve anything Cole, not after going after Matt Hardy.

[Cole]
Oh, yeah right Seth is a former King Of The Ring winner he could get a title shot anytime he wants and I bet this was the only way Matt Hardy would get some more airtime.

[J.R.]
You would, Cole.

*Just as J.R. is done saying that Seth Rollins is in the ring with a mic in hand ready to speak.




[Seth]
Last week a tragedy happened. Last week something happened that was amazing, and something happened last week that will not happen probably for the rest of our lifetimes. No, it wasn't a damn meteor strike.

*Seth takes a deep breath and says.



[Seth]
It was Matt Hardy pinning Seth Rollins.

*The crowd pops immensely as Rollins looks down at the ground ashamed however this doesn't last for long as Rollins raises his head up and says.

[Seth]
This tragedy could have been prevented by one man. And this man is the same man who will get his teeth kicked down his throat later tonight, Yoshi Tatsu. You see Yoshi, from what I've seen of you all you have done is mess around with action figures and address these people as your "Yoshi Army." But as you can see this isn't a joke Yosi, and also unless you're blind you can see that I'm wearing different attire then I ususally wear. And that is because Yoshi, I'm going to war. But not just any war Yoshi. This war is personal, it became personal when Mat Hardy came back and stole my limelight it became personal when Matt Hardy had Wade Barrett give me a concussion two weeks ago, let me translate that for you Yoshi. Sore wa kojin-tekida. But not only is mine and Matt's bitter, bitter feud personal Yoshi. Some could say it's business I mean that's what Vince and the Board Of Directors view it as, and last week Yoshi you crossed the line.

[Seth]
You crossed the line by messing with business that does not involve you and you made a fatal, fatal mistake by letting Matt Hardy win you see because now, not only is Matt Hardy on my hit-list in this war that you two put me in but you are on that list too Yoshi. And at the end of the night Yoshi, not only will I be standing over you after I kick your jaw clean off, I will also be standing over Matt Hardy and everyone else who has made my life a living hell. Imanotokoro sayōnara Yoshi, and Matt while this war is officially started so has the tragedy, your tragedy Matt, The Matt Hardy Tragedy.

We come back to the Redemption Supershow with Maryse sitting in the make-up area of the Divas locker room, a young female worker standing behind her trying to tame the French-Canadian's hair. Apparently her hair starts to pull as Maryse winces and throws her hands up in frustration.

[Maryse]
Oh my god! Ow! God, arrêtez! Vous avez clairement aucune idée de ce que vous faites! Amateur!

[Make-up Artist]
Maryse, I'm sorry! Don't yell at me, please! I'm trying my best!

[Maryse]
You need to try harder then! Are you trying to make me look like Kaitlyn or AJ or any of those other so-called divas? I am not going to look like a stupid little girl, I am Maryse! The sexiest of the sexy! You better learn to appreciate your job because I swear I can get you fired faster than I can snap my fingers! Now get back to work and you better not mess up!

Maryse calms down and turns back around as the artist gets back to work. Once again Maryse's long hair gets tangled in the comb causing the diva to yelp in pain. Maryse's eyes bug out as she purses her lips and prepares to go off.

[Maryse]
That's it! Stop! I will just do it myself because you obviously have no idea what you are doing! Such a loser!

Maryse does her classic pose pushing her hand into the face of the artist as she walks away with a frown on her face. Suddenly there's a knock on the door as Maryse let's out an annoyed breath and shouts.

[Maryse]
Yes, what? What do you want? I am very busy!

A voice yells out from the hall "Delivery!" it sounds familiar, and she seems intrigued by who she thinks it is, so she decides to respond.

[Maryse]
Well? Come in already!

The door slowly opens revealing a bouquet of flowers poking through the small opening in the door, then soon finds out that she did in fact know who it was. Ted DiBiase steps through the doorway with flowers in hand and a forced smile as we see notice his black eye in full view. No doubt it's from the assault from The Men of Honor last week, but of course Maryse doesn't care.

[Maryse]
Oh, it's you. What do you want, Teddy? I do not have time to play Monopoly with you. I'm a big girl, who has to do big girl things like pay bills, do taxes, and not be Vickie's little errand boy.

[Ted DiBiase]
You have no idea how happy I am to have you back in XWL, please accept these flowers as a token of how much I've missed you.

He extends the bouquet out to Maryse, you can tell Ted's not at all sincere, from the sound of his tone you'd almost think Vickie put him up to this. In fact this seems right up Vickie's alley, making him deliver flowers to his recently returned ex-girlfriend. Maryse smiles as Ted frowns, as she snatches the flowers out of his hand, taking an interest to the card attached. Maryse arches an eyebrow with a quizzical look towards Ted before she begins to read the card.



[Maryse]
"Please accept these flowers as a token of appreciation for your return to XWL. We are very, very happy to have you back on the roster and are looking forward to your success. Sincerely, Theodore DiBiase, Jr."

Maryse looks almost amused as she looks up from the card to find Ted bewildered at what has just come out of Maryse's mouth. Ted's look changes almost immediately to that of annoyance as Maryse continues.



[Maryse]
Well isn't that thoughtful. Too bad you never cared about me before you became paranoid that I was trying to cost you your "ever-so precious" World Title, which, may I remind you, you lost on your own, then you got fired. C'est la vie, I suppose Teddy. But here is what I think of your precious gift!

Maryse smirks before attempting to smack him across the face with the bouquet, but Ted catches it in his hands and staring a hole through Maryse with no emotion as he begins to speak.

[Ted DiBiase]
I don't think so, listen here you pretentious woman, I don't have the patience to deal with your little antics, so take the flowers, enjoy 'em, throw 'em in the trash if you want, I couldn't really give a damn. Because contrary to what the little note said, I'm not happy you're back, I didn't miss you, and you couldn't be successful when you were the girlfriend of the World Heavyweight Champion, so what in god's name would make me say you could now?

Maryse goes wide-eyed as she begins to shout very loudly in French towards her ex-boyfriend.

[Maryse]
Just qui dans l'enfer du pensez-vous que vous? Je suis Maryse, Sexiest of The Sexy, et vous feriez mieux de ne pas oublier que dans un avenir proche! Get out! Leave, now!

[Ted DiBiase]
Finally, an order I actually want to follow.

Ted turns on his heel and quickly exits the locker room as Maryse continues to shout in French and broken English as we fade to our next segment.

*The fans all through the arena boo at the sound of the familiar theme music of Alberto Del Rio; he walks out onto the stage with his ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez who hands him a mic as his music cuts off.



{Alberto Del Rio}
I have recently had an epiphany; I had a grand and sudden realization about my time here in XWL. I realized that every time I’m on the cusp of true success it is ripped from my hands….and no one is to blame but me. With one exception, I have nothing to claim as a sign of my success here in this company, I always seem to get soft just before the big match and fail. You people have no reason to worry, to fear an impending reign of Alberto Del Rio and that’s going to have to change. You fans hate me because I preach and spit at you the fact I am better and, while I am, it’s not my place to tell you. Instead I need to show you. You see this epiphany has made me very uneasy, very unstable as it is not in my nature, my genes, and my heritage to be unable to finish what I started. From The Rock to the United States title and till now I have given you people no reason to fear ME……but that all changes starting tonight.




{Alberto Del Rio}
You people will see the cruelty I am able to produce. I’ve let this side of me slip out from time to time, but now it’s on permanent display for all of you people, and no one is safe. Not a single wrestler in the back, not a single manager, not a single broadcaster, and not a single one of you fans are safe. Starting tonight in this ring I will show you people how vicious a single man can be to a whole company. Starting with Christopher and extending to future, unfortunate souls I will break and maim these men until I show you people the true meaning of fear! Kids will cry with their mothers and men will grow ill at the sight of snapped arms and cracked skulls I leave in my wake. Blood will be spilled, bones will be broken, spirits will be crushed and Alberto Del Rio will stand tall.



{Alberto Del Rio}
Yo soy el rey de tus pesadillas! Pronto todos me temen! Pronto se acobardan ante la visión de mí! PRONTO!

*Del Rio shoves the mic into the chest of Ricardo Rodriguez and both men walk to the backstage area to prepare for later in the evening.

Redemption returns from a commercial break and MVP is shown already in the ring dressed in his ring gear. Not surprisingly, he doesn’t look too happy and it would seem that we’re about to hear just why.



Montel Vontavious Porter:
M.V.P.
Now it looks like a I’ve got myself a problem here… a problem by the name of Carlito. Now for those of you who have been making the mistake of not watching my career as closely as possible, Carlito is nothing but a fool who really thinks he’s going to make a name for himself by taking a piece of my shine. Two weeks in a row he’s gone out of his way to cost me my World Series matches, but I’m not going to put all the blame on him. Because you see this goes back to the old saying “fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Last week I should have seen Carltio coming, I should have had eyes in the back of my head but I was foolish enough to think that him attacking me two weeks ago was an isolated incident… that he would hit it then wisely stay as far from me as possible.



Montel Vontavious Porter:
M.V.P.
But I should have known that Carlito isn’t a wise man and that he would keep pushing his luck week after week and I promise him that that luck is going to run out sooner rather than later. It’s only a matter of time before our paths cross in this series and there is not a man alive who will stop me from kicking your ass up and down the arena for ruining my chance to properly defend this country’s honor. Carlito… I don’t think you understand the beast you’ve unleashed, the monster you’ve awakened by continuing to toy with me instead on focusing on how to salvage what’s left of your pathetic career.



Montel Vontavious Porter:
M.V.P.
These last three matches are what’s going to make it or break it for me, but there shouldn’t be a doubt in anyone’s mind that I’ll have no problem winning three straight and securing my spot in the money in the bank match at Final Stand. I’ve beaten Antonio Cesaro, I’ve beaten Christian and when he has nowhere to hide I’m going to beat down Carlito and make him regret to walking away when he had the chance. I fully expect him to make an appearance tonight which is why I took the initiative to already be in the ring so that there’s no sneaking up on me… nuh-uh, not anymore.



Montel Vontavious Porter:
M.V.P.
You want to come out here, then you’re going to have to get your cojones in check and punch me in the face instead of stabbing me in the back. So where are you Carlito? Come on out here so that I can mop the floor with you and move on to Cesaro and repeating what I did to him a few weeks back. I don’t have forever so ju—



The crowd begins to boo without warning and MVP takes a look at the stage to see Torrie Wilson slowly walking down the ramp. Now on red alert, MVP begins looking around and he turns just in time and ducks a punch from Carlito who slid into the ring behind MVP and the brawl begins! The two men trade some stiff punches and MVP begins to gain control.

The people are hot and they begin chanting MVP’s name and the cheers get even louder when MVP drops Carlito with his signature facebuster. MVP stands at Carlito’s head and begins rubbing his fingers together signaling for the Ballin’ Elbow. MVP runs over to the ropes but stomps short when he sees that Torrie has climbed onto the apron.

Not going to be suckered by the Diva a second time, MVP runs into the ropes knocking her off though she’s unharmed, but when he turns around Antonio Cesaro throws him into the air and connects with the Very European Uppercut! Carlito rolls out of the ring and yells at Cesaro to finish the job before checking on Torrie. A Ref runs down the ramp and Cesaro barks at him to ring the bell while he pulls MVP to his feet.

World Series Match


The people boo as The Ref reluctantly calls for the bell and Cesaro hoists MVP into the air and hits The Neutralizer! 1…2…3!





XWL returns from a brief video package highlighting the exploits of the Ersatz Tag Team Champions: The Motorcity Machine Guns and we’re taken to a backstage area where MsChif is currently being attacked! The Soul’s Tormentor is on the ground covering up as best as she can while an unknown assailant viciously stomps away at her. Is it Michelle? Has she come to send a message? Have one of the Bella Twins come to make sure that their tag match is a handicap match? Or maybe Vickie is finally fed up of MsChif coming after her and has finally decided to take things into her own hand?

The camera zooms out and the attacker is shown to be none other than Sean Vincent! He’s back! The son of a bitch actually had the balls to return after everything he’s done and after the beating MsChif gave to him at Uprising. Vincent finally relents, then he pulls the wounded MsChif to her feet and hoists her onto his shoulders. Vincent the runs, leaps into the air and slams MsChif to the ground with a reverse Death Valley Driver! Vincent gets up with his chest rising and falling with each deep breath that he takes and then he looks to a camera with a smirk on his face.

Sean Vincent
I would have preferred her on her knees, but knocked out is just as good. It means that they won’t put up a fight, if you know what I mean. I came back because I had a little unfinished business with that little bitch and now that the job is done, I’ll see what I can do about getting a spot on this roster so that I can grace you all with my presence each and every week as I continue to rid XWL of the joke known as women’s wrestling.

Vincent laughs and walks aways but not before stomping on MsChif one more time for good measure. The camera zooms in on MsChif who has yet to move after once again falling victim to what must have been a sneak attack. MsChif damn near left Vincent for dead at Uprising and he came back for more. He may either have a glutton for punishment or simply just have a death wish. Either way there's no doubt that there's going to be hell to pay.

The supershow returns from a commercial break and we’re greeted by the music oh Johnny Ace, and the people actually give him a rather warm reception since he delivered some fairly good news in the form of The World Series. Big Johnny strolls down the ramp but he has a frown on his face as he walks up the steel stairs and steps between the ropes. With a microphone in hand, Big Johnny stares out into the audience as they all wait to hear what he has to say.



John Laurinaitis
My name is John Laurinatis and I’m the executive vice president of talent relations here in XWL. The last time I was out here I gave you people something exciting, I announced the first ever XWL World Series where six superstars would be competing to defend the honor of their country with pride. But there was a bonus, a shot to compete at Final Stand in the money in the bank ladder match for a chance to earn the right to challenge for the championship at any moment they wished.



John Laurinaitis
And now I’m out here to take The World Series away from you, because you have all made it quite clear that you cannot handle yourselves like mature adults and thus you do not deserve the have the series continue. This was supposed to be about friendly competition, but the rudeness and pure disrespect that you showed the members of other countries was just pathetic. That is why I’m effectively canceling the series as of right now and due to his stellar record in the series I am official declaring none other than Christian the winner.



John Laurinaitis
Now of course, Antonio Cesaro and Sheamus each had a good showing and I can assure you that has not gone unnoticed and they will be compensated for their efforts when the time is right. But that’s not the only thing I’ve come out here to announce, effective before I even stepped through that curtain: MVP is no longer a member of the XWL roster. He has failed to uphold the dignity of this nation and his performance in this series was nothing short of disgraceful and disgusting. MVP has shown over the weeks that not only is he unfit to be a member of an XWL roster… but he is also not worthy to call himself an American. That is all I have for you at the moment. Thank you and please enjoy the rest of your show.

*Redemption returns from a commercial break and is taken backstage where an interviewer is standing by with XWL's Anti-Diva, Paige.*



{Interviewer}
Welcome back to the Redemption Supershow, ladies and gentlemen. My guest at this time is not only the Number One Contender to the Divas Championship at Final Stand V, she is also the Anti-Diva of XWL, Paige. Now Paige, last week, the team of yourself and Layla were victorious over both your opponents at Final Stand, the Divas Champion, Kaitlyn, and your Foxy Rival, Alicia Fox, what are your thoughts on teaming up with XWL's only other British Diva in Layla?



{Paige}
Well done, Mr. Interviewer, you're the first person who has interviewed me that I didn't want to slap across the face. As for your question, my thoughts on Layla were that I misjudged her from the start. I thought that she was the biggest “diva” of them all, but I was proven wrong. Last week, we proved that we were superior in every way imaginable, there was nothing they could do to throw us off our game. I may not have gotten the pin in the match, but I did do the damage needed to secure us the win. Fox and Kaitlyn are going to say that the ref screwed them out of their match because they rely on excuses instead of their abilities, or lack thereof.



{Interviewer}
There were points in that match where it could have gone either way, but your team managed to keep a cool head and walked out with the win. Moving on to tonight, you're facing a woman who has held the Divas Championship an unprecedented five times in Michelle McCool, what is your game plan going into that match against such a decorated diva?



{Paige}
My game plan? I don't need a game plan, so she's won that butterfly five times, so what? That means she's also lost it five times, most of which were on her first defense. Does that sound like a “diva” I should be worried about?

*Before the interviewer can respond, Layla walks up alongside Paige with a friendly smile on her face, then places her hand around the wrist of the man making his microphone move over towards her and looks at Paige.

{Layla}
Allow me to the answer that, no.

*A dastardly smirk forms across her face as Paige almost mirrors the same expression.*

{Layla}
Speaking from experience, trust me when I say you don't have anything to worry about, but then again when do you? You're XWL's professed and rightly named Anti-Diva, and that's not just a moniker you've given yourself, it's one you've backed up night after night sine you got here. And it's one you'll back up later tonight when you face the diva that I carried for years in a duo that was successful based on only what I could do, not what she couldn't. She's held the Divas Championship five times, several of which I helped her win it because I was a good friend, but every single time she'd screw it up and lose...then when it was finally my time to shine, she was nowhere to found for the same support, but I proved I didn't need her help when I became Divas Champion last year at Final Stand, and carried my reign over for seven historically unforgettable months.

{Layla}
A mark that will set the tone for champions to come, and hopefully be continued by new friend and fellow Brit, Paige. Because let's face it, Kaitlyn might have made it her little goal to surpass my reign, but she won't even make it past Final Stand, and we all know why, don't we?

{Paige}
That we do, Layla.

{Interviewer}
I apologize for not giving you a proper introduction, Layla, but I didn't want to interrupt you. Ladies and gentlemen, the longest reigning Divas Champion in XWL and Diva of the Year, Layla. Now Layla, tonight you face Paige's Foxy Rival in Alicia Fox, last time you two faced was two weeks ago where the same woman besides you attacked Fox and ended the match in a no contest, your thoughts going into this match?

{Layla}
You left out that I'm currently undefeated in 2013, that's a pretty big detail to forget, but you're already more informed than any other interviewer that's tried and failed to interview me, so you get bonus points for that.

{Interviewer}
Thank you very much Ms. El.

{Layla}
Tonight Alicia looks for some retribution against me because she lost quite miserably last week, and thinks things will be oh so different this week, but that's where she's misinformed herself, because the only difference will be that she can't cheapshot me off the apron like she did, who does she think she is putting her hands on me like that? She had no right, and she got everything she deserved when I pinned her one, two, three! Which is exactly what I'll do again tonight because she's not a threat to me, she's not a threat to Paige, and she's not a threat, period. She walks around here like she's Ms. IT, has convinced herself that she's actually a furry little critter, so it's time someone knocks a little sense into that loony tune world of hers, and brings her back to the cold reality that she's not a fox, she's not championship material, she's just a ridiculously sad woman that has nor ever will fulfill her silly fantasies. And THAT 'Chelle, is how you do Real Talk, Real Talk!

{Paige}
If anybody knows my “opponent” tonight better than anybody, it's Layla and if she says I have nothing to worry about, then I don't, not that I was worried to begin with. Michelle is going to realize something later tonight, and that's to never underestimate me, because if you do, just look at what happened to Fox last week, she fell to a Paige Turner and lost the match for her team. Just like what will happen to Kaitlyn if she underestimates me at Final Stand, only unlike Fox, it'll cost her the Divas Championship.



{Interviewer}
This question is directed at you, Paige, should you unfortunately fail to defeat Michelle McCool later tonight, how would that affect your mindset going into Final Stand with a loss hanging over your head?

{Paige}
I should slap you across your face for even suggesting that I would lose, but I'm not going to since you were such a good interviewer up until that question. Answer me something, Mr. Interviewer, when was Michelle McCool the focus of anything in this company? When was the last time she got a huge victory, let alone a win against anybody that matters in this division?



{Interviewer}
Well...

{Paige}
Exactly! If she somehow does manage to defeat me tonight, then she would have earned the victory. Either that, or the incompetent referee will decide to hold a petty grudge because I slapped him a few times, all of which were justified. But she won't win tonight, because she's just like every other “diva” in this company.

{Layla}
She's not like every other diva, she's worse! The fact that she once bragged about being a five time Divas Champion says it all really, she thinks she's hot stuff because she's won, and lost the title, five times. Her laughable attempt at dethroning me last year proved that she's still as bad as she's always been, and if she thinks this match will turn things around for her, and finally help her get out of this pathetic slump she's been in since the beginning of time, well then Paige will just have to take away what little shred of dignity she has left.

{Interviewer}
But Layla what's different about this alliance of yours with Paige? Didn't you say at one time you need no one's help, I'm pretty sure you've said the same Paige, I mean nothing by it, but have you changed your minds or is it something you didn't expect, what?

{Layla}
You forget that my only alliance was with a greedy, conniving, and backstabbing worthless excuse of a "friend" so of course I'll be pessimistic about trusting in someone else to watch my back, when I do it so well myself. But this isn't like other "teams" both Paige and I are elite women that are capable of taking care of any situation on our own, and it's that skill that draws us to one another because we know no one is looking to be carried by the other, no one has any ulterior motives, we've just come to realize we have a lot more in common than we thought, and last week really helped us put away any doubts we had about the other.

{Paige}
I couldn't have said it better myself, we both misjudged each other when we were put on opposite ends of the ring not too long ago, and I have a bit of pride knowing that I was bested by the only other British Diva in this company. Put our match against any other match in this past year and tell me that it didn't blow them out of the water. We went into that match with intentions of hurting the other but we didn't have to resort to that, instead we put the rest of these “divas” to shame with our superior wrestling and looks.

{Interviewer}
Since I know you both are very busy women and I'd hate to take up anymore of your time, so my final question before we end this interview is what are both your thoughts on your respective matches tonight?

{Layla}
Were you even listening!?

*Layla raises her arm, ready to slap the taste out of the mouth of the unnamed interviewer, but knowing what was coming next, he flinches and covers up, not allowing Layla to get the satisfaction of slapping him. Instead, Layla lowers her arm, causing the interviewer to lower his guard, giving Paige the perfect opportunity to slap him. The interviewer holds his jaw as Paige and Layla storm off in different directions, leaving the interviewer slighting confused and mouths, “What did I say?” before Redemption fades to a video package hyping up the recent addition to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Final Stand V, Christian.*




*Once the video comes to an end, we're taken somewhere in the backstage area where XWL's Foxy diva Alicia Fox is standing in front of a vanity mirror applying her foundation to her satisfaction and puckering her lips. She looks into the mirror, clearly liking what she sees, she soon puts the bottle down and goes to grab her favorite shade of lipgloss. As she's reaching for it, she's caught off guard by the sudden sound of a familiar voice.*

{Paige}
You missed a spot.

*Before Fox can react, she's met with a powder pad to the face and begins to cough as powder fills the nearby air. The person responsible for this? The Anti-Diva and Fox's rival, Paige. She grabs Fox's head and begins to smash it against the table repeatedly. Fox manages to regain her composure and puts her arms up in front of her, stopping her head from hitting the table again. She hits Paige with an elbow to the gut, forcing her to release her grip on Fox's hair. Fox grabs the powder pad that was just used against her and hits Paige in the face with it, returning the favor. More powder fills the air as Fox charges at Paige, sending her into a nearby crate. Paige holds her back in pain but Fox isn't done yet. She follows up with another and goes for a third. Paige tries to avoid it but instead gets sent into the corner of the crate, shoulder first, and falls to the concrete floor holding her arm. Fox mounts Paige and begins unloading a series of forearms to the fallen Anti-Diva. Paige tries to cover up but can't due to her seemingly hurt shoulder. Two security guards show up on the scene and one begins to pull Fox off of Paige, while the other checks on Paige. Fox doesn't put up a fight as a smile appears on her face, knowing full well that she has gotten the best of Paige tonight. The security guard helps Paige to her feet and possibly escorts her to the nearby trainers room, to check on the condition of her shoulder. Fox raises her arm up and does an animalistic like wave towards Paige as Redemption fades to a short commercial break.*

Redemption returns from a commercial break and immediately we head backstage where Randy Orton is walking down the hall, perhaps on his way out to the ring for his match against Daniel Bryan, or maybe he just wants to grab a bite to eat from catering, whatever the reason he seems focused and as intense as always.



His mind must be consumed with thoughts of Kane, he expressed how much he'll enjoy inflicting pain on him last week, but unfortunately it's Kane that stood tall over him later that night, while he laid next to his unconscious father. This means he can't be in the best of moods right now, but suddenly his walk of solitude is interrupted by Vickie Guerroer's personal assistant, Ted DiBiase stopping him, and placing his hand on his shoulder as he goes to address him.

{Ted DiBiase}
Just the guy I've been looking for, listen I...

Suddenly Orton pulls away from Ted, obviously not liking that he just walked up and placed his hand on his shoulder as if they're buddies shooting the breeze.



{Ted DiBiase}
Whoa man, calm down. I hate to bother you, I know you're going through a lot right now, I myself haven't exactly had the best of times lately but we're both men, and we have to be responsible for our actions.

Orton looks intrigued by where Ted's going with this, that or he's faking it because he really doesn't care to be apart of this conversation right now.




{Ted DiBiase}
With no regard for the well being of your fellow superstar after wrongful-

Ted pauses, almost as if he's struggling to say this next bit.

{Ted DiBiase}
Wrongfully punting Shawn Michaels when he did-

Again he stops mid sentence, it's clear he doesn't believe what he's about to say but from what we can guess Vickie's the one that sent him here.



{Ted DiBiase}
Didn't deserve such a great....I mean, greatly inexcusable act of malice. For this reason I'm sorry but we have no choice but to fine you for the sum of twenty five thousand dollars. We hope you'll have better judgement the next time you want to endanger the well being of your fellow supe...

{Randy Orton}
Let me just stop you right there, Ted.



{Randy Orton}
I'm not here to care about the well being of fellow superstars. I'm not here to care about what damage I do on other superstars. I'm not here to care if I injure other superstars and possibly put them out of action. I only care about two things right now, Ted. Firstly, finding Kane and secondly, putting him in a hospital bed on life support for the rest of his life. No where did I plan on having to deal with you and if you choose to insert yourself into my agenda then you'll have to add a hospital visit to your agenda. And it won't be to visit someone, it will be because I'll punt your head off just like I did to Shawn.

Ted tries his best to hide his smile as Orton continues.

{Randy Orton}
You like being reminded of Shawn being punted, don't you? Let me ask you something, Ted. Why is it that when I punted Cesaro's head off his shoulders, I was never fined. Why is it that when I punted Kane's head off his shoulders, I was never fined. Yet when the time comes that I punt the head off the shoulder's of Vickie's puppet, I get fined? Doesn't seem that fair to me, does it sound fair to you?

Ted looks down at the floor, it's obvious he doesn't think it's fair one bit, but then again, what really is fair anymore? He fought for three months to get his job back, was screwed the entire time, and just when he thought it was finally over, he was screwed again.



{Ted DiBiase}
Fair? Randy, what's not fair about making up rules just to spite someone else? Because of you Shawn has a severe headache that could have easily been avoided had you actually finished the- I mean chosen not to be so careless. I had to fetch him three different types of Tylenol earlier, a glass of ice cold water, which he proceeded to spit in my face because it was too cold, and then when I bring him warmer water, he spits in my face again because it's too hot. So then I mix the two together, and apparently because the ice had melted,, it was too "watery."



{Ted DiBiase}
Fair is in the eye of the beholder, and in Vickie's mind, everything unfair, is as fair as it gets.

{Randy Orton}
Tell Vickie this, all's fair in love and war. This isn't love, this company is a giant war and everything that I choose to do to people, in my eyes, is fair. It was fair when I punted Shawn Michaels last week. It will be fair when I take a chair, place it around the neck of Kane and stomp down on it, breaking his neck and any hopes he had of ever becoming a champion in this company again all because he chose to mess with me and my family. Do you think that is fair, Ted?

Ted isn't exactly sure how to reply as Orton continues.

{Randy Orton}
Like I stated before, I don't care what people think is fair and unfair. I only care about myself, my families' legacy, winning championships and hurting anyone who tries to stop me from winning said championship. Vickie can go ahead and fine me and do whatever she wants to protect her little puppet but she won't be able to protect him or everyone else forever. Sooner or later, everyone will step in my path and everyone will fall just like Michaels did.



{Randy Orton}
You can also tell Vickie this, that fine that she chooses to use against me won't get payed. She's the Redemption General Manager and I'm contracted as a Breakdown Superstar where the incident happened in a Breakdown ring. She can go talk to Hogan, my boss, about this fine and if he says I have to pay it then I will because he is someone who doesn't put themselves about their work like a certain witch does. I'm not going to listen to some stuck up, greedy, disgrace to the Guerrero family name and that is the end of that.

{Ted DiBiase}
Honestly, I wouldn't make it so black and white as that. While you may belong to Hogan's brand, it's almost as if that doesn't matter anymore. Ever since Steen attacked him he hasn't been same or even around as much, which has given Vickie the leverage to get the board to let her do whatever she wants...like how can she get away with confining me to a ridiculous personal services contract? Then she just throws me to the Men of Honor last week, who attack me both before, during, and AFTER the handicap match, and are they punished? No. Dean Ambrose gets thrown in the Money in the Bank ladder match instead of fined or even suspended.



{Ted DiBiase}
Like it or not Randy, as much as I've tried to fight it, we're just pawns in Vickie's little game, a game where you either accept it, or have every single day of your life be a living hell until she gets her way...I honestly don't even know what to do anymore, you probably don't care, but when I headlined as World Heavyweight Champion last year, I never imagined that this is where I'd end up...it's just...I almost feel like giving up, look at me, I'm Vickie's errand boy, her yes man, it's only been two weeks but I just can't take it anymore! I didn't bust my ass to break out of my father's shadow just to fall into someone else's.

Orton chuckles a little before speaking.

{Randy Orton}
It's kinda funny how pathetic you've become ever since becoming Vickie's assistant or whatever.

Ted's expression changes to one that's clearly annoyed, but not because of what Orton said, but because it's unfortunately true. He knows he's become pathetic, he's accepted the role Vickie conned him into instead of rebelling like he has for three months, but maybe that's because he's starting to doubt if it'll even do any good anymore.



{Randy Orton}
You give up this easily because of a little piece of paper? It doesn't even make sense that you give up this easily. What happened to the Ted who went toe to toe with The Undertaker in a buried alive match and never thought of giving in to the Deadman? What happened with the Ted DiBiase who worked so hard, going against Michael McGillicutty, to win the World Heavyweight Championship and in the process, never once gave up even after losing your girlfriend? What happened to the Ted DiBiase, who despite getting brutally attacked by Edge, never gave up in giving his best to keep the World Heavyweight Championship? You never gave up against The Undertaker, McGillicutty or even Edge but you say you are ready to give up because of a piece of paper? Pathetic, simply pathetic.

Orton stares a hole through Ted as he continues to speak.

{Randy Orton}
I'd be embarrassed right now to call myself a member of the DiBiase Posse because of how weak their leader is. I'd rather call myself a Curt Hawkins fan rather then a Ted DiBiase fan because despite Hawkins being one of the most irrelevant wrestlers in this company, he hasn't gave up or anything but then we have you, one of the greatest stars this company has seen giving up just like that. I know what it's like to be World Heavyweight Champion, I know what it's like to be in a slump but I never gave up and if you choose to give up, well then expect to lose any respect anyone has ever gave you because no one respects someone who gives up on their dream because the odds are stacked against them. Think about that, I have to get ready for my match and win or lose, I won't give up.

Randy's words leave Ted speechless as he walks off, it's been a rocky last six months, his motivation only went up with each screw job, every time he was tossed out of the building it made him that much more determined, but after thinking it was finally over, and finding out that there's much more hell in store for him, it's taken a toll on him. You can only persevere through so much before you start to wonder if it's even worth it anymore, if there even is a light at the end of this dark and dreary tunnel, and he's at that point right. Last week he gave it one last fight, and he failed again, the odds may have been stacked against him but in his mind there's no excuse.



Randy's soon out of sight and Ted's just left in conflicted state, he's never given up, but it's been all too easy to start to feel like doing just that with everything that's gone down since his return, but what Randy said struck a cord with him, he has overcome so much in his career here, maybe there is hope yet, we however can't tell which side Ted's leaning towards as he just stares into the distance, consumed by his thoughts, and we soon fade out from this scene and to the next left wondering if he's given up, or if the fire inside him has been reignited by Randy Orton.

Redemption returns from comercial and we see Vickie Gurerro looking into the mirror in her office, she stares into it smiling and looking at her figure before she notices that Austin Aries has let himself in. Aries laughs at Vickie as she tries to regain her composure.



{Vickie Gurrero}
What the hell do you want?!

Aries manages to calm himself down and contain his laughter



{Austin Aries}
Vickie listen, last week I had Morrison exactly where I wanted him, flat on his back, bruised ribs, his eyes slowly rolling into the back of his head and gasping for air. He was defenseless, helpless, I had him beaten! All I had to do was go for the cover and all of my hard work would have finally been recognized! Had it not been for that sorry excuse of a referee, I would be standing here right now, the future XWL Intercontinental champion. What were you thinking putting me into a match with that arrogant, self obsessed, reality show wrestler, let alone forcing me to team up with him and with so much at risk?

{Vickie Gurrero}
I repeat Aries, what is it that you want from me?



{Austin Aries}
I WANT... I mean.. Vickie, I'm sure that with your superior skills as the sole hostess of this show you recognize injustice when you see it, and what happened to me last week was exactly that, injustice. When I think about that horrible, horrible man taking advantage of the rules you made perfectly clear last week it makes me so mad! Not only did he end the match due to contreversy, he also put his hands on your Intercontinental champion and on the greatest talent you have today, jepordizing the main event for Final Stand. I'm sure that you agree Vickie, that's just bad for business. Behaviour such as his needs to be severely repremanded, and after his antics, the match result should be reversed, along with a suspension without pay.

Vickie puts her hand on her hip as she mulls over Aries' suggestion.

{Vickie Gurrero}
You know what Aries? You're right, there was an injustice last week and that injustice does indeed need to be repremanded. Under no circumnstances do I allow my match stipulations to be messed with, so Aries I have no choice but to say that Miz is now officially the no.1 contender to the Intercontinetal Championship, and for using that chair during your match last week, you can add a loss to your win record tonight because you are hereby suspended without pay until after Final Stand.

Aries' mouth drops as Vickie cakcles at him, he tries to fix the situation but to no avail.

{Austin Aries}
WHAT?!! No, he was the one who used that chair! I didn't use it, he just made it look like I did, he framed me!

{Vickie Gurrero}
I'm sure he did Aries. I suggest you get the hell out of my office right now!

Aries pulls onto what little hair he has as he loses his cool and intimidatingly steps towards Vickie.



{Austin Aries}
NO! This isn't fair at all Vickie, watch the tape back, I didn't do anything to him, he did it to himself!

{Vickie Gurrero}
SECURITY!

The door swings open as two large men over shadow Arise and lift him up by his arms, he struggles to free himself but to no avail, they drag him out of the office as Vickie watches with a stern look on her face.

{Vickie Gurrero}
Oh and Aries, March 17th, remember to order Final Stand on Payperview! HAHAHAHAAH

Vickie seems pleased with herself, she laughs before closing the door to her office and we cut back to the arena.
