Redemption's theme begins to play throughout the arena, causing the thousands in attendance to jump to their feet.
{{Michael Cole}} Ladies and Gentleman welcome to Redemption!! Live from Belfast, Northern Ireland!!
{{Joey Styles}} What a turn out we have here tonight!
{{Michael Cole}} Well I don't blame them! We have some great matches planned for this evening!
{{Joey Styles}} That's right Cole, whether it be two power houses going up against each other in Bobby Lashley and John Cena or two high flyers in Evan Bourne and El Generico, each and every match this evening looks like it will be a spectacle that you don't want to miss! Especially our Main Event!
{{Michael Cole}} Our current World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho will take on a fellow Canadian and our Mr. Money In The Bank Holder, Christian!! You won't want to miss that one!
{{Joey Styles}} Also two great competitors with different fighting styles in Dean Ambrose and John Morrison will be going up against each other tonight! Will Morr-
All of a sudden…
We are brought backstage where an unfamiliar face is seen glaring into the camera.
{{Bray Wyatt}} My name.. is Bray Wyatt.
{{Bray Wyatt}} I was raised in Lafayette, Louisiana. My daddy, well my daddy was an evil man, he was the captain of his very own shrimp boat.. He loved that damn boat more than he loved his own son… Man I hated my daddy. He was a mean old bitter piece of scum my daddy was, he spent all his money on that damn boat rather then send me to school. He figured that since he flunked out, that since he wasn't educated properly, then why should little ole' Bray Wyatt be given a chance to learn? Well, even so, all I wanted to do growing up was please my daddy, I did everything I could to accomplish that but he wouldn't have it. I tried walking like him, but he'd just knock me down on my ass and tell me "BOY, YOU BETTER SIT DOWN AND LEARN YOUR DAMN PLACE". I tried talking like him, but he'd slap me across the face and tell me to "SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH UNLESS YOU'RE SPOKEN TO BOY!"… Well when I turned eighteen years old I tried smoking like my daddy too. I bought a pack of cigars and my very own zippo lighter.. this same one..
Bray whips out a zippo lighter and ignites it, staring at the flame as he continues.
{{Bray Wyatt}} And well.. on the evening that I remember above all, when my daddy was passed out after another night of endless drinking, our house caught fire and burned to the ground… And that was the very last I saw of my daddy. Nothing survived that fire, nothing but myself, my zippo, and a dusty old book that I found in the ashes… Man how that book fascinated me, I knew not what it meant seeing as I was never taught to read, but I wanted to know what secrets this book held inside, the secrets of the book that survived all things, even fire, the indestructible book. So I taught myself to read. I went out on my daddies boat each and every day. And although I couldn't swim, I didn't fear the water, the only thing I feared on those enchanting summer nights is that the magic would end and that real life would come crashing in. I smoked my cigars, and I read. I started out with See Spot Run, and Clifford the Big Red Dog, until I was finally able to decipher that dusty old book. Well I'll tell you something friends, that dusty old book, it saved my damned life, and not this life, no, not this body. It saved my soul. This dusty old book..
Bray Wyatt holds up The Bible
{{Bray Wyatt}} It taught me lessons that I never would have learned in school. I read Genesis, Exodus, I read each and every page in that old Testament. I read how this new God cleansed the world for forty days and forty nights, I read in awe, witnessing what this God was capable of. I read and I became certain that this new God, that my new God, was a powerful God, but I misunderstood his power, I thought him to be a merciless God, a God of revenge, a God of anger. So I remembered back to when my daddy would always say "you know what Bray, I reckon that they switched babies on me at that hospital you were born in, you're just too damn stupid to be my son". So you know what I did? I went to that damn hospital, the very same one that gave me birth, and I burned it to the ground. Just as God did to Sodom, I destroyed that hospital, and unlike Lot's wife I didn't look back, I felt no remorse. That hospital was filled with people like me, people who were considered to be "broken". Well I fixed em alright, I sent em to a better place, I saved them… This was just the beginning
{{Joey Styles}} -ison be quick enough to escape the pain that Ambrose is known for delivering to his opponents in that uphill battle?
{{Michael Cole}} I sure hope so! And speaking of uphill battles, Seth Rollins, XWL's underdog, will be competing in his biggest challenge since winning The King of The Ring! That's right folks, he's going to have to go one on one against the Great One!!!
{{Joey Styles}} That's true. We will also be having our United States Champion's skills put to the test against Randy Orton! Will Wade Barrett be able to prove that he is worthy of his title or will he fall victim to an R..K..O?
{{Michael Cole}} I don't know Joey! I guess we'll just have to watch and find out for ourselves!

We are shown a quick video package hyping up tonight's Main Event, we are then brought back to ringside where Jack Swagger is standing at a podium alongside an unfamiliar face.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Ladies and Gentleman, my name is Jack Swagger. You might know me as the All-American American, but tonight I come to you, not only as an All-American, but also as a true American. The sad truth is that there are not many people in this country, let alone in this audience that can say the same about themselves.
The crowd begins to boo Swagger, but he just shakes it off and continues.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} I'm here to fix that. I'm here not only to eradicate this country of the Un-Americans that inhibit it, but to show all of the True-Americans the light… But I'm not here alone. No. I'd like to take this time to introduce to you all a friend of mine. He's a native, and a great American. Ladies and Gentleman… Zeb.. Colter!
Swagger steps aside as Zeb begins to speak.
{{Zeb Colter}} Fellow Americans watching at home.. I look out into this audience and I'm disgusted by what I see.. I don't believe that I'm standing here in an XWL arena, surrounded by.. these creatures, these loud, drunken, fools. This country doesn't deserve the XWL. Not one bit..
The crowd boos as Zeb looks around in disdain.
{{Zeb Colter}} When our founding Fathers fought for our countries freedom they fought for the Red, White, and Blue. When Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner he was inspired when he saw the Red, White, and Blue being raised proudly into the air after yet another American victory. After the 9/11 Terrorist attack on the World Trade Center those brave fire fighters were shown raising the Red, White, and Blue amounts the debris… Yet.. I look upon the XWL Universe, I walk the streets of America, and I don't see Red, White, and Blue. No. I see Red, Brown, and Blue. I see Red, Black, and Blue. I see Red, Yellow, and Blue. And I'm disgusted by it.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} All we want to see is Red, White and Blue.
The crowd lets out a sea huge boo as Zeb continues
{{Zeb Colter}} There are about 12 million Americans unemployed in our country. There are about 22 million citizens under-employed. You want to know why that is? Well, lets take a look at the XWL for example. In tonight's Main Event we have Chris Jericho and Christian facing off against one another..
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Two Un-Americans.
The crowd lets out a cheer at the thought of the Main Event.
{{Zeb Colter}} You might be cheering, but the true Americans in the locker room who deserve that Main Event spot, the ones who truly should be getting the Main Event paychecks aren't. People like Dean Ambrose, Americans like Dolph Ziggler, true champions like John Morrison, they're not cheering. Chris Jericho gets paid to hold the Heavyweight Championship, he gets paid American dollars to hold the most prestiges title in this company, in this American based company, while real Americans, True-Americans who deserve that title are forced to sit back and watch as that Canadian scum desecrates our god given rights! He should be the Canadian Champion of the World. He should go back to his hockey and his Canadian bacon and leave this country once and for all. There's no reason for him to be here taking the paychecks from Real Americans, he has a country, he has a home there, what gives him the right to take our jobs from right underneath our noses?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} He doesn't deserve the right.
The crowd lets out another wave of boos.
{{Zeb Colter}} And then there's filth like Madison Eagles and Christian… Unworthy… They don't deserve that Money in the Bank contract, they don't deserve a contract at all. The only thing they deserve is to be put into a giant briefcase and be shipped back to the countries that they came from and leave the Title shots to the true, deserving, Americans. There are many Americans who deserve a spot on the XWL roster but can't due to these Un-Americans, these thieves. Men like Heath Slater, The Big Show, even Zack Ryder deserves a spot over these Un-Americans. It's bad enough that these people take our jobs, they have no right to take our championships! And of course, there's Wade Barrett.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} He's the worst of them all.
Zeb shakes his head in disappointment.
{{Zeb Colter}} What has this company come to? Letting the UNITED STATES championship fall into the hands of Wade Barrett? What is this? How did this happen? I just-.. Words can't even describe the injustice of this travesty. Wade Barrett is NOT an American! He will never be an American, yet he holds the Red, White, and Blue over his shoulder, he desecrates this country, he spits in the face of this company, and he mocks each and every person in the back who proudly call themselves Americans. He doesn't talk like us, he doesn't think like us, he's below us Americans. I can't wait until Jack Swagger earns the opportunity to get into the same ring as Wade Barrett, just like our founding fathers freed us from England's grimy grasp, Jack Swagger will free us from any and all of the Un-American's who make a mockery of the United States Title. Except unlike the Revolutionary War, The American won't be the underdog, no. Jack Swagger is stronger than Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger is faster than Wade Barrett, Jack Swagger is better than Wade Barrett. You see Jack Swagger earned his legacy the American way. He worked for what he earned. He wrestled, legally, to become an All-American, American. Wade Barrett? He just picked some fights in some basement to call himself a Bare Knuckle Brawler. He's nothing. He doesn't deserve to be in the same ring as Jack Swagger, let alone the same country. He stole the job, he stole the money, and he stole the title that a true American deserves.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} He stole from us.
The crowd's boos grow.
{{Zeb Colter}} But this injustice is not exclusive to the XWL. No. This is happening everywhere. Un-Americans are stealing the jobs from True-Americans everywhere we go. Un-Americans are stealing the scholarships from True-American children everywhere we look. Un-Americans are stealing the rights of True-Americans, and Jack Swagger and I WILL NOT STAND FOR IT. Jack. Tell these people, these Un-Americans, these scum, these red headed, pale, creatures what the USA Patriot Act of 2001 is.
The Northern Ireland crowd lets out a huge boo as Swagger begins to speak.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} The Patriot Act was an act of the United States congress that was signed into law on October 2001. It's a ten letter backronym, USA PATRIOT.
{{Zeb Colter}} USA PATRIOT!! What does USA PATRIOT stand for Jack?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.
{{Zeb Colter}} Exactly. Now Jack, what is Terrorism?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} The use of terror as a means of coercion.
{{Zeb Colter}} That's right Jack. As a means of coercion. Seeing as these people in this audience weren't given an American education, I'm sure their thick skulls don't know the meaning of coercion. So tell them Jack. What is coercion?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Forcing another party to act in an involuntary manner.
{{Zeb Colter}} Involuntary manner? Huh Jack? Well would you consider the stealing of jobs, the taking of land, the trespassing of our country to be coercion?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} I would.
{{Zeb Colter}} So then, that must mean that all of these Un-Americans in our country… are terrorists. Right Jack?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} It sure seems that way.
{{Zeb Colter}} Jack, tell us once again. What does USA PATRIOT stand for?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.
{{Zeb Colter}} Providing appropriate tools to obstruct terrorism. Well Jack, if you were to say, injure these Un-Americans here in the XWL, wouldn't that make you the appropriate tool for obstructing terrorism?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} I believe it would.
{{Zeb Colter}} Well then Jack.. The USA PATRIOT. It looks like you have a mission. It seems like the only way to stop these Un-Americans, is to injure them, to end their pathetic careers, send them packing, isn't that right?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Right as rain.
{{Zeb Colter}} And what of your many All-American wrestling maneuvers would you consider to be the most effect in injuring these scum?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Well Zeb, I could break their ankles with the Ankle Lock.
{{Zeb Colter}} Ankle Lock huh?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Yes sir.
{{Zeb Colter}} Well then Jack. It seems like your Ankle Lock is the new Patriot Act of the XWL, and you are the new USA Patriot.
{{{Jack Swagger}}} I'll do whatever it takes to free this country Zeb. Just like our founding father freed us from England, I'll free the XWL from these foreign scum like Wade Barrett.
{{Zeb Colter}} Good. Because America, it doesn't belong to Wade Barrett, it doesn't belong to Un-Americans. You know who it belongs to Jack?
{{{Jack Swagger}}} Who's that Zeb?
{{Zeb Colter}} WE THE PEOPLE!!!
{{{Jack Swagger}}} WE THE PEOPLE!!! WE THE PEOPLE!!! WE THE PEOPLE!!!!
Swagger continues to shout "WE THE PEOPLE" as his theme begins to play.
We then head to a commercial break.

We are shown a quick video clip of XWL's newest diva acquisition.
{{{Ivelisse Vélez}}} I'm a fighter. I'm the kind of person where as soon as that switch goes off, anything that's in front of me, anything in my way, will be broken down. I'm not cocky, I'm confident. I have to be. I'm not the biggest competitor, actually I'm probably one of the smallest, if I don't believe in myself, if I don't believe in that fire, that Puerto Rican fire in my heart, then I got nothing. I'm ready for my first fight here in the XWL, I know that whoever steps in the ring with me is going to get hurt.. bad. I'm not trying to bark, I'm just saying. I'm not about making friends here, I'm not about making enemies either. I'm about fighting, I'm about proving myself. If you come at me with fire, I'll fight fire with fire. If you come at me with respect, I'll show you the same. I'm ready. I'm focused, I'm prepared, I want to show you all what happens when that switch goes off, I want to see the surprise in your faces when I unleash the beast. I'm Ivelisse Vélez, I'm proud, I'm ready.
{{{Ivelisse Vélez}}} Soy una máquina de combat baby!
We then go to the next segment.

Redemption returns from a commercial break and and to the displeasure of the people Damien Sandow is already standing inside of the ring looking as smug as ever. His theme music fades away and now there’s no other sound to get in the way of the intense booing by the crowd. Sandow slowly paces back and forth in the ring as he patiently waits for the people to get the hatred and disdain out of their systems. Such a move shows just how much class Sandow has. Other men with class dignity and class would have rudely interrupted the people because of their fragile egos, but not Sandow. No, Sandow has long realized that the process of enlightening and educating the people would be a grueling and often tedious task but Sandow has stuck with it and week by week a little progress is made. Once the boos trail off a bit, Sandow raises the microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak.
Damien Sandow There must come a moment where even the likes of all of you grow tired of trudging along the path that has brought you nothing but pain and misery. A path of destitution where you have been relegated to a lifestyle that would be considered even too good for the most pathetic of peasants. How long will you all allow this charade to continue before you look into the mirror and realize that you are not where you belong? How long will you cower in fear and the thought of enlightenment solely because the darkness is what you have become accustomed to? Sometimes change has a purpose and sometimes that purpose is more beneficial than you are willing to admit. But there is something about the word change that strikes a pang of dread into the hearts of the unwashed masses, and it is the fear of experiencing that dread that drives you to becoming content with the way things have fallen into place in the disgrace you call a life.
Damien Sandow I have dedicated my time here in XWL to saving all of you. For too long you have gone unchecked and haven’t been called out for the pitiful way you hold up your “heroes” and false-idols above scrutiny and criticism because you mistakenly believe that they are men to be looked up to. I am the one you should be looking up to for I have put on a display of sportsmanship, character and intellect the likes of which this company has never seen. For years the ineptitude and ignorance has been allowed to fester in this company, but it lucky that I showed up when I did for in due time I shall reverse the damage that has been done.
Damien Sandow My method of accomplishing my goals is simple. I will lead by example and just like the sheep that you have proven yourselves to be, you will soon follow me to the promised land. From a very moment I stepped foot into this wasteland I have done things any man would be proud of and I harbor no regrets deep within my heart. I have no need to employ the use of violence in an attempt to get my point across for it only the most foolish man who uses his fists to convey what he could say with his words. That is why I have been handling the situation regarding my inevitable United Stated Championship match with dignity and diplomacy because I want all of you to see that it is not necessary to rabble-rouse or riot.
Damien Sandow That is why I am willing to go through the obstacle that is the Feast or Fired match at Dead Man’s Hand, because I want you all to have a first-hand account… I want you all to witness the precedent I set with your very own eyes, that sometimes you have to work in order to obtain something that you hold most dear. You have grown too lackadaisical and everything that you do is with a half-hearted attempt, because you all wish to have things handed to you on a platter. You want the reward but are not to grind and sweat to make it yours. You all want to enjoy the fruits that are bared by the tree, but you do not wish to get your hands dirty and plant the seeds. I will get my hands dirty by participating in this match, and at the end of the night I shall proudly reap my reward.
Damien Sandow The fools among you all would like to believe and are hoping that luck will not be on my side. But there is no doubt that there is a science to securing the right case that will keep me employed and deliver to me the United States Championship match I have yearned for, and it is a science that I will exploit at Dead Man’s Hand thus leaving my other three opponents empty handed. I won’t allow these men, who couldn’t in XWL prior to Dead Man’s Hand, to live their dream at my expense. Their hopes will come crashing down then go up in flames and they will have nothing left.
Damien Sandow Last week, D’Angelo Dinero was revealed to be one of those three men and I promptly disposed of him with relative ease. That is the same fate that will befall the man who is desperate enough to make a name for himself in this business that he would participate in this contest. I assure you that his efforts will be in vain and that will be shown when I expose him as a fraud and make it clear that I shall stand head and shoulders above the competition. So now, I implore the man that John Laurinaitis has hand-picked to challenge me tonight. Hopefully he won’t be crippled like Chavo Guerrero, irrelevant like Kurt Angle or a disgrace to this profession like D’Angelo Dinero. And just remember, when yet another victim falls tonight that I am doing this to educate all of you. You’re welcome.
Sandow drops his microphone and disrobes while the people go at him with a punishing wave of boos. Sandow pays them no mind and takes a look over at the stage and waits for his opponent, the second official entry into the Feast or Fired match, to make his way out.
It’s Jay Lethal! Black Machismo makes his way onto the stage and the people yell out “Oh yeah!” as he poses on the stage. Lethal begins making his way down the ramp when suddenly Kurt Angle slides into the ring behind Sandow and drops him with a german suplex! Angle is looking to get back at Sandow for walking out on their match two weeks ago, but just like last time Sandow wants nothing to do with him. As the crowd boos him, Sandow quickly exits the ring and walk up the ramp and pushes Lethal out of his way as he heads to the back. Before Sandow steps through the curtains he shouts: “I will not compete under such hostile conditions!” Angle is still barking at Sandow from inside of the ring as the people cheer him on. Lethal puts his hands on his hips and asks Angle what he’s supposed to do now and Angle responds “Tough luck, kid” and the screen fades to black as Redemption heads to a commercial break.

I usually would do a decent write up but am really busy doing other things as of late and am kind of lazy on top of that. But hey, might as well give it a go.
Matt Hardy wins after a ton of spears to him and reversing one right into a twist of fate.
Sorry. Next one will be better hopefully.

Layla's theme sounds and the fans react in a mixed way, there's still a majority of boos but there's some scarce cheers as the referee raises her hand in victory.
As Layla celebrates in the ring, the camera turns on the Bella Twins, as Brie finally gets up from being pushed off the apron by Angelina Love. Brie Bella argues with her sister Nikki Bella, shouting "Did you see that?!? Did you see that?!? She stole my win." Brie Bella is obviously speaking about Layla, right now she can't stand the sight of Layla celebrating what should have been here moment. Brie then says to Nikki "This isn't done yet".
Brie Bella whispers something to Nikki and laughs. Brie hops up on the apron and wags her finger at Layla and starts shouting at here "That was my win!" Layla walks over to her and tries to slap her but misses as Brie drops down. Brie Bella turns around and laughs at Layla's attempt to strike her to Nikki and she thinks she's got the upperhand. Brie turns around to go attack Layla however before she can step up, Layla grabs the ropes, bounces off it, and dropkicks Brie in the face onto the ground, dropping Brie to the ground. Layla shouts "Better luck next time sweetie!" as Brie gets up and holds her face as Nikki looks on in disgust.
We cut back to Layla's who is all smiles after sticking it to her new rivals, the fans seem to have enjoyed that moment as much as she did because what was a majority of boos has shifted to a majority of cheers. She then adverts her attention away from them and raises her arm up again in victory.
She then lowers her arm posing for a bit, boasting about her victory, but then as she notices The Bella Twins making their walk of shame up the ramp, she walks over towards the far side of the ropes as they turn around and blows them an arrogant kiss before laughing and waving at them. We then fade away to a commercial break.

The cameras cut backstage where Alex Shelley is shown standing next to the XWL Roulette wheel eyeing all the options. As he thinks to himself, Vickie Guerrero walks over to the wheel and clears her throat loudly to get Shelley’s attention.
Alex Shelley Ah, the possibilities, they’re truly endless. Almost every match type ever wrestled in is listed here, from the days men used suplexes as finishers to the modern era where we have to add a corkscrew to the suplex to make it look cooler. Now, as impressive as it is that you were able to fit all of that on just one wheel, I have to say that I’m a little disappointed that the pillow fight Chris Jericho mentioned isn’t listed isn’t anywhere on here.
Vickie Guerrero Are you quite done, Alex?
Alex Shelley All I’m saying is that if an honorable and trustworthy man like Jericho says that it’s okay for two men to have a pillow fight then we should have the option to do so. We may not be in America, but if the Irish can give us potatoes then they can give me my democratic rights. When a man as built as myself swings a pillow, it might as well be a steel chair because not only are you dealing with the impact of the pillow strike but you have to endure the embarrassment of letting a grown man hit you with a pillow in the first place. Not to mention…
Vickie Guerrero Excuse me!
Alex Shelley Oh Vickie, how I missed your incredible ability to make a ears bleed just by opening your mouth. How are you doing on this fine evening?
Vickie Guerrero I’m doing well, Shelley, thank you for asking. And if you want me to stay in this good mood you’ll stop joking around so we can get to business.
Alex Shelley The only person here that’s joking around is Wade Barrett. Why? Because he’s not here. Maybe he forgot that he’s the champion, or maybe he just wants to pretend that I’m not his challenger. Either way I’m going to have the last laugh when I take that title from him at Dead Man’s Hand and bring it back to America where it belongs.
Vickie Guerrero Ha, you really think beating Wade Barrett will be as easy as you saying that you can do it?
Alex Shelley Easiness is in the mind of the beholder, Vickie. All I’m saying is that Barrett is going to find out pretty quickly that you don’t mess with a gun and be surprised when you get shot. Let’s get with the wheel spinning so that I can find out what kind of match we’ll be competing in.
Vickie Guerrero I don’t think so Shelley, we need to wait for Barrett to show up before anyone spins that wheel.
Alex Shelley Wait? You want me to wait? I’m done waiting. I'm done waiting for Half-Life 3, I’m done waiting for Nabisco to invent an oreo that dunks itself, and I’m done waiting for whoever should be putting a tag division together to get off their asses. This match should have happened a year ago; I should have had a nice long Intercontinental Champion reign by now but people like you let Tyson Kidd rob me of that chance. Did you tell him to wait? Did you tell you tell The Kings of Wrestling or The Men of Honor or The American Wolves to wait while they were jumping me like it was a sport? Now I’m gonna spin this wheel and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
Shelley reaches for the wheel and Vickie quickly slaps his hand away.
Vickie Guerrero What are you doing, Shelley? Are you hard of hearing?
Alex Shelley Please don’t ask me if I’m hard, Vickie, that’s very inappropriate coming from a woman in your position.
Vickie Guerrero Excuse me?
Suddenly the wheel starts spinning and the camera zooms out to show Chris Sabin standing on the other side of the wheel. Sabin nods in Shelley’s direction and winks at Vickie then leaves as quickly as he arrived.
Alex Shelley Thanks, bud, I owe you one!
Vickie Guerrero Are you kidding me? Ugh, fine I guess we’re doing it without Barrett then.
Alex Shelley I’m sure that’s not the first time a woman has said that.
The camera zooms in on the wheel as it slowly comes to a stop and lands on a space titled “Sharks in the Water!”
Alex Shelley Just the match I was hoping for!.... What is this?
Vickie Guerrero It’s a variation on the lumberjack match. With so many people around the ring things get crowded and the lumberjacks can’t do as much damage as they’d like. But with Sharks in the Water there are only two men who only want to hurt whoever is unfortunate enough to get thrown out of the ring.
Alex Shelley That seems simple enough, it doesn’t really matter what match it is because the result will be….
Shelley’s voice trails off as something in the distance catches his attention. Shelley smirks as Wade Barrett steps into the picture and stares him down.
Alex Shelley Well would you look what the cat dragged in. And let me tell you Barrett, if a cat can drag you anywhere then I’d be more afraid to wrestle it than I am to get into the ring with you.
Wade Barrett Hello Alex, I see you're enjoying your ill timed lucky break. I'm not exactly sure why you've gained a title shot because before I took some time off the position was being contested for by Sheamus and Antonio Cesaro. So how did the potential challengers go from to former champions in XWL to a man that's only ever held a title he bought from the shops? Was there a lack of real men about so XWL management decided to throw this boy into the lion's den? An even better question is if he somehow managed to earn this championship match, how did he manage to win with out his little buddy to help him out...
Vickie Guerrero Are you ready to hear what match you'll be defending your championship in Wade?
Wade Barrett Why would you be able to tell me already? I've only just got here. Now's the time to spin that wheel when the only competitor of note arrives. It's simple respect deserved of a man of my accomplishments and greatness.
Vickie Guerrero I'm afraid Alex's friend Chris has already spun it for your match. You'll be defending your championship in a Shark in the water match.
Wade Barrett What the bloody hell is that? It doesn't even matter because that spin was not official. Not only was I elsewhere when it happened but Sabin's not even in the match. So what's the big idea letting him spin it?
Vickie Guerrero I didn't even see him arrive; he just spun it and left without saying anything.
Wade Barrett So you're telling me that you're such a great general manager that you don't even have control over weather or not a simple wheel spin counts? Is there anything around here you do control? Out of my way Vickie I need to determine what match I'll be competing in at Dead Man's Hand.
Wade storms his way past both Alex and Vickie before giving the roulette wheel an almighty spin and patiently waits.
The wheel slowly comes to a stop and rests on the No Holds Barred match!
Alex Shelley Now just hang on a second, you can’t just go a promise a man that he can go swimming with sharks and then rip the opportunity away from him. Nobody likes an Indian giver, Vickie. We settled on one match and if Barrett was too busy to grace us with his presence at the scheduled start time then that’s on him.
Wade Barrett Oh boo hoo so you don't get to have the match your buddy helped you get, Like it even matters. Nothing matters other than the fact that at Dead Man's Hand I'm walking in the dominate champion that everyone knows I am and I'm walking out with my United States championship still firmly in my possesion. Anyway Alex why're you so eager to be trapped in side the ring with me? Do you not remember what happened to Jeff Hardy and Ezekiel Jackson? I destroyed them, I ended their careers.
Vickie Guerrero Men please, I think I have a solution to this problem. We don’t have to settle on a Shark in the Water match or No Holds Barred… why not have both? Why not combine the two? This way everybody wins and I won’t have to deal with you two bickering and annoying me between now and the pay per view.
Alex Shelley You know what? I can deal with that because part of being Alex Shelley is having the ability to adapt and adjust to any situation and then thrive in it. I won’t be worried about the two men circling the ring, and I won’t be worried about whatever weapon you’ll try to use…. All I’m focused on is taking that title from you and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make the taking doable.
Wade Barrett I'm surprised that you're not worried about those two men because you know with them at ringside you'll have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide with no hope of anyone coming to save you like in one of your precious little tag team matches. Trust me Alex those two men outside the ring will be the least of your concerns, Your only concern will be the blood slowly dripping out of your body, With each little drop your heart, Your desire and your willingness will start to disapear as if it never existed.
Wade walks off sreen as it fades to a graphic hyping the newly announced match

*We return from a video package as we see Jeremy Borash alongside the one and only Samoa Joe backstage before his first match since his debut at Final Stand. Joe is pacing back and forth as JB talks.*
[Jeremy Borash] Hey folks it's "JB" Jeremy Borash here with the Samoan Submission Machine Samoa Joe. Now Joe, first of all I'd like to ask, what exactly happened to you two weeks ago? We saw you being thrown into a van at the hands of masked thugs who we believe were to be sent by AJ Styles, care to clear this up for the XWL fans?
[Samoa Joe] AJ Styles took the cowards way out, JB. It's that simple and there's nothing he can do to deny the fact that he's a spineless poor excuse of a man! You said it best, I was thrown into a van by a bunch of thugs hired by AJ Styles and most likely Dean Ambrose too. They might've been a couple of Ambrose's drug buddies from the good old days, who knows? But they put me in that van and drove away from the arena, they threw me out of the van in the middle of nowhere and 3 guys came out of the van looking to kick my ass. Now let me tell you what happened at that point, those guys that AJ had hired must've been as tough as AJ himself. Those guys warned me, they said "You need to stay out of Men of Honor business." They must've not realised who they were talking to because I slapped that man across the face so hard he probably doesn't remember his name. Long story short, those guys were left laying and Samoa Joe drove off with that van.
[Jeremy Borash] I see.. Last week you returned after that incident and almost got your hands on AJ as our show went off the air, did you catch up to him off-camera?
[Samoa Joe] By the time we reached the back he was already gone with Jericho's belt. If AJ were as tough as he hyped himself up to be he would've stood there and faced me like a man but he just did what his boy Dean said and ran like the little girl he is. Because deep down AJ knows he can't beat me, I beat him fair and square at Final Stand so he decides to hire a couple of goons to do the work for him and even they couldn't get it done! See, before, this was just a little rivalry between AJ and I. We settled it like men in the ring and that's how it's supposed to be but when he sent out those fools to try and injure me he made this personal, not only did he try and have me hurt, he tried to end my career.. MY LIVELIHOOD! Now I've gotta get some revenge, and I need that revenge tenfold. You TRIED to end my career, I WILL end your career, it's that simple AJ.
[Samoa Joe] If I lost to you at Final Stand fair, like you lost to me? I wouldn't hire some people to try and take you out, I'd shake your hand and tell you congratulations and that's exactly what you should've done to bury the hatchet but all you've done is light a fire under me that I've never felt before. Even right now I can just feel the rage building up inside, and if I wasn't booked in a match tonight I'd probably snap. But I get a match tonight against Roddy Strong and that's exactly what I need because Roddy is a guy who hits harder than anyone else. Tonight I know I'm fighting a man, not a coward like AJ Styles. But the thing is, Roddy, you're facing me on the wrong night. This is my Redemption debut and I've never been more ready for a match in my life. AJ, Dean, I know you're watching. Don't even try get involved in my match because you don't wanna deal with a pissed off Roderick Strong and Samoa Joe tonight.
[Samoa Joe] AJ, it's out in the open now. If you wanna face me again.. say.. Dead Man's Hand? You know I'm down. But the question is are you man enough to go for it again? Or are you gonna chicken out like last week and try to forget about me.. The ball's in your court, AJ.
*Joe glares at the camera before walking off abruptly as we head off to a video package.*

*XWL Diva Natalya is shown getting her entrance coat ready before her match against Beth Phoenix tonight.*
[Interviewer] Uhh, excuse me, Natalya? I was just wondering if I could get your thoughts before your match tonight, it's been quite some time since the fans have seen you step foot in an XWL ring and-
*Natalya sharply buts in.*
[Natalya] Oh, and you think that's my fault?!
[Interviewer] I was just saying-
[Natalya] You were just saying that it's been so long since I've been in the ring and you're acting like I'm the reason for that?!
[Interviewer] No! Not at all Natalya, I don't mean any disrespect.
[Natalya] Well if you want to show me some respect, you'll keep your mouth shut and let me do my own talking. I've kept silent for too long around here! Three years ago I was one of the top divas in this company, no no, wait, scratch that. I was THE Diva around here, there wasn't a single person who could match up to me. I was in a league of my own, I was single handedly the most dominant Divas Champion this company has ever seen. But once Michelle McCool stole my title after my glorious run at the top, that's when things began to crumble, that's when the real downfall began. I kept my head high, I knew I'd get back my belt sooner or later.. It's been over 3 years since I held that title and I haven't had a title around my waist. 3 years, think about that. I was even Ms. Money in the Bank! I bet you don't even remember that, right?
[Interviewer] Well I-
[Natalya] I didn't say you could talk. But as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by someone who can't handle simple instructions, I was even Ms. Money in the Bank. I had that briefcase in hand ready to go and once again I was cheated out of my rightful title by the french poodle by the name of Maryse who is now at the bottom of the barrel and rightfully so. Ever since then I've floundered around the ranks in the black hole of the Divas Division. Which is also filled up with divas who are the black hole of talent and charisma. I mean, seeing people like Kaitlyn and Brie Bella as champion over myself made me sick to my stomach. I tried and tried to scratch and claw my way, I beat everyone in my path but I just couldn't pull it off. And I know why, it was a lack of motivation. A lack of faith from the supposed fans of mine who slowly turned to people like Kaitlyn and looked up to them as their idols. I was forgotten about, I was left off cards, in dark matches, sent home from shows. For no good reason!
[Natalya] It's about time they put me back on TV! Just because I wasn't one of the people who sucked up to the fans like many of those barbies. I'm going to go out there and do what I do better than any diva to step into that ring, I'm going to show the world once again why none of those barbies deserve to lace my boots. That's all they are, little barbies. And do you know what I did as a child when I was given a barbie doll? I snapped them in half! Because I'm not a barbie, I'm the definintion of smart, sexy and powerful, I'm pin up strong and I don't need to cake myself with makeup and pose for skimpy magazines like Maxim to get attention. I'm going to grab my spot and reclaim my glory. Atleast my return match is against one of the few divas around here with class. But Beth, just know that I'm not going to quit. Because I don't care if you're a Glamazon, an anti-diva, a crazy chick, I don't care if you're flawless or if you're a tormentor of souls. All I care about is Natalya and all Natalya cares about is competition, now if you'll excuse me I have a match to get ready for.
*Natalya smirks and puts on her entrance coat as the video comes to an end to let Natalya prepare for her blockbuster match against Beth Phoenix. We fade away to a video package for the returning former champion.*

*Tried something different with the match vid. Hopefully you enjoy.
Shelley gets a nice pop from the crowd when his theme hits and The Ref raises his arm into the air. Sabin slides into the ring and celebrates with his best friend and together to two men hold the Ersatz Tag Team Championships above their heads. Shelley backs into the ropes and holds his jaw still feeling the effects of the Trouble in Paradise he took during the match. Sabin walks over to check on him, and after assuring his friend that he’ll be all right, Shelley walks over to the corner and climbs to the top. Sabin heads over to the adjacent corner and together they raise their titles proudly into the air once more…until their celebration is cut short.
The howl pierces the air and the cheers immediately dissolve and are replaced by an unrelenting wave of disdain as the crowd gets themselves riled up for the arrival of The American Wolves. Seconds later, Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards storm through the curtains, and they’re not alone. With them charging down the ramp is a referee and it looks like they’re going to force The Machine Guns into the match they should have a long time ago. The Guns drop down and back into the ropes nearest to the announce table as they watch The Wolves get into the ring. The Wolves start yelling that the time for fun and games are over, and before The Gun can provide a witty response, a pair of hands reaches from outside of the ring and grabs Shelley’s ankles before pulling him out of the ring.
Shelley lands chest first on thin padding outside of the ring and when he gazes up he sees Wade Barrett towering over him! Shelley gets up and tries to catch Wade off guard with a superkick, but Wade grabs his foot and laughs in Shelley’s face before he throws down his leg and clobbers Shelley with an absolutely jaw-shattering Bullhammer! It all happens so fast and when Sabin tries to come to the rescue the Wolves pounce and begin their vicious assault. While Davey relentlessly stomps on Sabin, Edwards is on his knees letting loose with a flurry of lefts and right and Sabin is doing whatever he can to cover up. Richards pulls Sabin to his feet and The Ref they brought down with them calls for the bell officially starting this impromptu tag team match.
Tornado Tag Team Match
The Motor City Machine Guns vs. The American Wolves
Wade Barrett is long gone, not that he’d be on Sabin’s side anyway. Edwards drives the sole of his boot deep into Sabin’s gut doubling him over then Richards kicks Sabin right in the torso knocking him back up right and right into Edwards who grabs Sabin in a reverse waist lock. Edwards is going for a german but Sabin wraps his leg around Edwards in an attempt to resist the hold. Suddenly Richards connects with a reverse roundhouse and nails Sabin right on the head giving Edwards the chance to go for the German Suplex.
Sabin flips in the air and hits the mat chest first and before he knows hit Edwards is right there punching Sabin repeatedly in the face. Edwards pulls the weak kneed Sabin back to his feet but Sabin suddenly begins to show some signs of life as he connects with some stiff forearms to the jaw until Edwards rakes him in the eyes then drives his knee into Sabin’s gut causing him to bend over. Edwards lifts Sabin into the air for the powerbomb then Richards leaps up into the air from behind and nails Sabin with the lungblower! Richards goes for the pin after that impressive double team move:
1
2
He breaks it up! The boos get louder in response to The Wolves’ refusal to end the match and in turn the Wolves tell the fans to shut up. Edwards pulls Sabin to his feet and steps aside so that Davey can hit a reverse spin kick. Edwards whips Sabin into the ropes and when he bounces off Edwards hoists him into the air so that Richards can hit the alarm clock but Sabin beats him to the punch, or rather the kick, by hitting a front dropkick that nails Richards right in the face.
Sabin grabs Edwards looking to hit a tornado DDT but Richards gets up looking to stop things and fails as Sabin kicks him in the head then drives Edwards’ skull into the mat with a DDT! Sabin goes for the pin:
1
2
Richards breaks it up! There’s a big groan from the crowd who thought that Sabin would steal it there. Richards looks pissed at what almost happened and he grabs Sabin by the hair then slams the back of his head into the mat. The camera quickly zooms over to Shelley who is only just beginning to stir on outside of the ring after getting knocked out by Wade Barrett.
However, inside the ring The Wolves are back on the hunt beating on the wounded Sabin. Richards’ attempt to throw Sabin into the corner is reversed and Richards hits it back first. Sabin goes on the attack and it’s like he has eyes on the back of his head as he intercepts a charging Edwards with a drop toe hold that causes Edwards to headbutt Davey’s groin. Sabin rolls away from the two but when he spots Edwards trying to crawl away he charges then steps off of Edwards’ back and hits the forearm on Richards!
Sabin immediately gets onto the apron and tries for the springboard forearm on Davey who connects with the Alarm Clock! Davey pulls Sabin to his fit and lifts him into the air in an electric chair position while Edwards climbs to the top. Edwards howls then leaps into the air and hits a cutter on Sabin and the two men go crashing to the ground. The cameras cut back to Shelley who is struggling to pull himself up to his feet by grabbing the ropes.
As Edwards rolls away Richards casually steps on Sabin’s chest and howls as The Ref counts the pin:
1
Shelley pulls himself into the ring!
2
Shelley makes a desperate lunge!
3
Shelley was a split second too late!
There are boos from the crowd as The Wolves exit the ring and walk backwards up the ramp with smirks on their faces as they watch Shelley check on the man they destroyed. As they get onto the stage Richards shouts, “This is a best of seven now, Guns, and that means you’ll have to go through that three more times!” The screen fades to black as Redemption heads to a commercial break.

*Redemption returns from a commercial break before going to the backstage area, where the team of Layla and Paige are shown standing by in one of the buildings many corridors, having a conversation with one another. Both women have a smile on their respective faces, clearly content that Layla was victorious in her match earlier in the evening against Angelina Love and one of their new found rivals in Brie Bella. Their conversation is cut short when Layla motions to Paige, and both women spot a cameraman approaching them. They share a few more words under their breath before Paige is the first to speak when the cameraman gets within range.*
{Paige} Brie and Nikki Bella, the most irrelevant twins this company has ever employed. You cost me my match against Beth Phoenix last week and you had the nerve to lock Layla in a closet, yet you barely got the job done. I had Beth right where I wanted her, I was about to make her tap out but you had to stick your nose where it didn't belong and cost me the match.
{Paige} It's quite funny, isn't it Layla? The Bella's want to call us irrelevant, when the fact of the matter is that they need us to make people talk about them. Tonight, I get a shot at a bit of revenge for your actions last week, Nikki. I've defeated your sister in the past, and if that's anything to go by, the end result will be the same. Earlier tonight, Layla didn't take the easy way out like Kaitlyn has been doing since winning the Divas Championship, she didn't pin the weakest “diva” in that ring, she didn't pin you, Brie, because it would have been too easy.
{Layla} That's the difference between actual talent, and just plain luck. I didn't go after you Brie, because beating you? Honestly, what does that prove? Hasn't Kaitlyn beaten you enough to call into question just how much skill that it actually takes to beat someone like you? If she can do it, then ANYONE can. Sure things didn't go as I would have liked them to last week, but it's a known fact that I'm still not fully recovered from the underhanded assault by Beth Phoenix during her precious little "revenge" phase, so please Kaitlyn, tell the world of how you defeated me....but don't forget to mention the part where I had you down several times, despite not being one hundred percent, and somehow you magically got to the ropes every time...if it actually mattered I'd question the legitimacy of that victory, after all, the referee did get awful close to you during the times that you managed to get your hands or feet on the ropes, almost as if he put them there himself....but I suppose we should be used to referees screwing us shouldn't we, Paige?
*Layla nods in agreement before checking her hand for any broken finger nails, once she sees that they're all in tact she throws a party for herself in her head for not only winning the triple threat earlier but not breaking a sweat or a nail, now that's a flawless victory. *
{Layla} However tonight I proved to all the doubters that while I may not be "one hundred percent" I can still very much so get the job done. The formerly undefeated and Miss Money in the Bank Angelina Love, poor thing, had such a bright future ahead of her, and then, she chose to target me, and everything's been downhill since. Though I do have to hand it to her, spearing Brie off the apron with so much force that she practically splattered all over the steel steps? Now that was a sight to see! I just wish I had remembered to carry my phone out there, Brie laid out on the steel steps crying in agony? That so would've been my screensaver!
{Paige} A picture is worth a thousand words, but you Bella's, you're worth only one, irrelevant. Brie, you should be used to falling short when it mattered, one fluke victory in a gauntlet match doesn't make you the greatest “diva” in this company, not even close. Nikki, tonight, you will feel the same disappointment when I defeat you in the center of the ring. The hardest thing that I have tonight is deciding how to win. Do I drop you with a Paige Turner? Or perhaps a RamPaige? Maybe I force you to tap out with the Cloverleaf like the “diva” you truly are, either way, my hand will be raised as the victor.
{Layla} No Paige, your biggest challenge tonight is keeping a straight face while you kick her ass. After all, with her big "fun bags" and that excessive amount of make up she's been wearing lately, she's a regular Bozo The Clown! No wait, I take that back, Brie's The Bozo, and Nikki's CLEARLY a Hozo!
*She stops to laugh in a bitchy tone at her wit for a brief moment before continuing.*
{Layla} Hozo and Bozo, the biggest clowns this division has ever seen!
*Paige smirks at Layla's remarks about the Bella Twins before beginning to speak once more.*
{Paige} Well?
{Cameraman} Well what?
{Paige} You really want me to slap you, don't you?
{Cameraman} I don't know what-
{Paige} I'm sure you would enjoy that, wouldn't you?
{Cameraman} Paige, I don't know what-
{Paige} This is what the two top women in this division get for an interviewer, a bumbling idiot?
{Layla} Be nice Paige, after all when in the presence of pure greatness, it's natural for a lowly man like this to feel unworthy. That's what it is right? You think you don't deserve to be standing this close to undeniable perfection of the highest degree.
{Cameraman} I-
{Layla} Please, it's okay, just try to imagine we're....well...The Bella Twins! I know that's incredibly hard given the fact that we're WAY hotter, far more talented, and clearly bigger stars than they could ever hope to be...but just pretend if it'll help you address us better.
{Cameraman} I'll do my best...so last week you two returned home to the UK, but things didn't go as you would have liked them to...
{Paige} I'm going to stop you right there, things didn't go as we would have liked them to? What exactly do you mean by that? Correct me if I'm wrong, Layla, but didn't we get the last word in? The Bella's got what was coming to them and after Nikki's terrible throw, I think it's clear that we got the better of them last week, not that it was hard to do in the first place.
{Cameraman} Regardless of whoever got the last laugh, you were defeated by Beth Phoenix, while Layla was defeated by the current Divas Champion, Kaitlyn. So the way I see it-
{Paige} You're really asking to be slapped, aren't you? You have some nerve, Cameraman. Let me ask you something, were you watching the same match I was?
{Cameraman} I'm fairly certain I was, yes.
{Paige} Then you know that Beth attacked me from behind with that “Glam Slam” as she calls it. Is that the kind of “diva” you support, one who attacks her opponents from behind?
{Cameraman} She took advantage of the situation, I mean, it's not Beth's fault that you weren't paying attention to her.
*With that said, Paige takes a step forward and raises her arm into the air, ready to slap the taste out of the Cameraman's mouth, but Layla, uncharacteristically, gets in front of Paige and stops her from slapping some sense into the Cameraman. Instead, she decides to whisper something into Paige's ear, causing her to look at the Cameraman with a cold glare.*
{Layla} Look I'm in a good mood because I won earlier, I didn't have some referee making an idiotic call, so don't ruin this for me by bringing up the past. Last week isn't important, what is important? Is Today. I left a mark out there when I beat two other divas in that ring when I'm nowhere near one hundred percent. That's not only impressive, it's practically unheard of. Even when I'm not at my best I'm still better than all the rest, and I proved that earlier. Just like Paige will prove that in just a bit when she effortlessly takes care of the other twin.
{Cameraman} You mean Nikki?
{Layla} Let's be real here, does anyone actually care enough to remember her name? Brie's the one that's had all the success, albeit small, Nikki's just the tag along twin. Unfortunately for her though her sister didn't tag along into the plastic surgeon's office when she messed up her face and gained ten pounds in the most obvious place.
{Cameraman} So Paige, do you agree? That Nikki is the inferior twin?
*Paige hesitates to answer, obviously still annoyed at the Cameraman's question earlier. She shares a look with Layla before beginning to speak.*
{Paige} The way I see it, and the way Layla sees it I'm sure, is both twins are inferior to our natural abilities both in the ring and out of it. But if we're just talking about between them, then it's clear to anybody with half a brain that Brie is the brains of the operation, which says a lot about Nikki. I still don't know why I should go out there and waste two minutes of my precious time “wrestling” Nikki when I could be doing something productive, like getting out of this cesspool. How does one go from a great place like the United Kingdom, to a city full of bottom feeders, makes no sense.
{Cameraman} So Layla, will you be accompanying Paige out for her match against Nikki?
{Layla} Of course, Paige may have been a little busy earlier so she couldn't accompany me out to the ring, but considering who she's up against? You can guarantee that I'll be out there and have her back the entire time. ESPECIALLY after what happened last time...
{Cameraman} Last time?
{Layla} The week before Final Stand? When I met Nikki in a match? A match which I had won, but of course, Brie pulled another switcheroo act and took Nikki's place at the end, getting a pin over me that shouldn't have counted....needless to say I'm not letting Paige fall victim to their cheating ways. I'm going to be out there to support my friend, and see to it that their so called "Twin Magic" doesn't screw Paige like it screwed me. This is our week, I've already gotten my victory, and I'm going to see to it that Paige gets hers. See, unlike them? We can get the job done ourselves without having to rely on the other to take our place. We start a match on our own, and we finish it on our own, that is just one of the many reasons why we're superior to them in EVERY way.
*Layla and Paige give the camera a confident stare before looking at one another and then they start to head off together, perhaps to continue their conversation else where, but just as they're nearly off the set, Paige stops, says something that's not quite caught by our cameras then turns around, walks back to the cameraman, strangely smiles, giving him a sudden false sense of security, but that smile soon fades as she swipes him with a hard slap! The whiplash effect nearly makes him drop the camera but he manages to maintain hold of it so that we can see Paige walk off from him and rejoin Layla who is seen chuckling to herself. They then continue walking away as the cameraman lets out a "What did I do?" gaining the sympathy from every man in the world as they know dat feel all too well.*

The sold out Odyssey Arena eagerly awaits what's next for tonight's show, it's not often XWL comes to Ireland and that's what makes this event so special for the fans in attendance. The excited tone of the crowd though quickly heightens as the sound of Ted DiBiase's theme hit's the P.A, and they all rise to their feet cheering for the proclaimed "Man of the People."
{JR} This outta be good.
{Michael Cole} Ugh, really? He's not even booked tonight, why does he have to be here?
{King} Cole, if it wasn't for this whole Cody thing I'd say it's to annoy you, but I'm pretty sure we know why he's coming out here.
DiBiase jumps through the curtain as fired up as ever, not only is he still pumped to be back in XWL after the long struggle to return to being a member of the roster, but he's excited to be out here during another night of XWL's world tour, if there was ever a better time to return it'd be now, getting to travel all over the world to entertain the fans that don't get to see them as much but tonight that changes, XWL is here to show it's Irish fans some love and Ted's more than happy to kick things off.
{JR} Last week we saw Cody Rhodes address his actions of two weeks ago, he flat out told the fans of London, England and across the world that he hates Ted DiBiase in every sense of the word, and Ted showed him the feeling is more than mutual by darting out to the ring, and delivering one hell of a beating, though his thirst for carnage was not satisfied as Rhodes managed to escape just before things could go further than they did, and I'm not a betting man, but I'd be willing to bet Ted's not only out here to talk.
{King} I just don't understand everyone's fascination with taking Ted DiBiase out of XWL, he just got back, give the man some time to savor the moment before you try to take him out again!
{Michael Cole} Savor the moment? Ted spent a good four months illegally stalking XWL like a crazed fan, which is what he was, and any other person in the world would've been arrested, put on trespass or something, but no.....he just kept being able to waltz into the arena when he damn well pleased, and we're supposed to cheer because he got his way in the end? That's why Cody's back, he's here to do what Shawn Michaels failed XWL of doing, and that's eliminate the problem that is Ted DiBiase
{JR} Cody didn't waste time calling Ted the problem not him, he stated that every villain is created by a hero, and just as Batman created The Joker, Ted's responsible for Cody's actions, which is quite the interesting point to make.
{King} Seems to me like he's just looking for someone to blame for his failures as opposed to actually owning up to them, look at Ted, he's never put the blame off on anyone but himself, and it's his failures that made him into the man that he is today, where as Cody's....well they've just turned him into a sick and twisted individual with some crazy obsession with Ted DiBiase.
Ted continues energetically skipping down the ramp slapping hands with the fans all along the barricade, while he's got his own problems he never let's that effect how he interacts with the fans, he's always giving back to the fans he himself has said he owes everything to, and tonight is no different. If anything since tonight's so special given the fact that XWL doesn't visit Ireland much he's putting in that much extra effort in making sure he reaches each and every fan that he can.
He runs around the corner continuing to interact with the Irish fans of the XWL universe, then after slapping one last hand he points to a large section of the audience that he can't reach then runs back to the apron hopping up knee first onto it, rising up to his feet gazing out into the distance. Then Ted steps into the ring before running straight for the far corner of the ring, mounts on top of it spreading his arms wide, and all to another loud pop from the fans.
{Michael Cole} I thought this blatant pandering would end when he came back, but he's as big of a joke as ever...
{JR} Now I disagree, Cole. Ted's always been about the fans, just because he's taking some time to connect with the fans doesn't mean he's a joke. In fact we've seen how different Ted is as opposed to this time last year, he's matured and he's without a doubt become more focused.
{King} Not to mention, any guy that can go four months with being screwed almost every week, and still find a way to put an end to it all and return to his glory deserves a great deal of respect.
{JR} That he does, whether you like him or not, Ted's proven he's deserving to be back, and last week he showed everyone he hasn't skipped a beat when he didn't let Cody escape at first, he gave him a taste of what's in store for him now that he's taken it upon himself to target DiBiase, and this saga between them has only just begun.
Ted's made his way to the middle of the ring now, he's gotten a microphone from our ring announcer, and he's now waiting for the excitement to die down so that he can speak.
{Ted DiBiase} Two weeks ago, I stood in a ring just like this one, surrounded by fans just like you, happy to have me back, and I was happy to be back. To go through everything I had for the last four months, and to be able to put an end to it, it felt great. It was almost too good to be true, and it was...because while I had taken care of the nuisance that was Shawn Michaels, in the process I attracted an even larger one in Cody Rhodes.
The very mention of Cody's name makes the fans boo just as loudly as they can, it may not have happened live and in front of them but they surely saw it at home on the television, and they to felt like everyone else as it all went down, angry and upset.
{Ted DiBiase} Because when I made my return, so did he...it was supposed to be a simple night, a night where I could put everything behind me and go forward with my career, pick up where I left off before Supremacy happened, and focus on getting back to where I was. Vickie surprised me by wanting my contract signing to be broadcast before the entire world, being a people person, my first reaction was that's great! But knowing Vickie, I knew deep down things weren't as they seemed. I wanted to believe the worst was over, and I tried, I really tried to be positive, to enjoy the moment, to share in the experience with my beautiful wife and son, that was the first time they were ever in attendance to see me. It was one of the biggest nights of my entire life, sure they're always watching at home, but being able to see them within an eye's reach, it just made that feel all the more special.
{Ted DiBiase} They had gone through the long ride to get back with me, while they were at home supporting me in my quest to return, I was here every week refusing to accept no for an answer from Vickie. So to be in that ring, a ring where I was to sign the contract we had worked hard to get, in front of them...it felt like things were finally looking up for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm a father, and a husband, two things that I love to call myself, but the other I love to be called? A wrestler. Ever since I was a little kid in the locker rooms, ironically sometimes playing with a young Cody Rhodes...that's what I wanted to do, be able to do that for the rest of my life. Be larger than life, share in the experiences that come with being a world traveling wrestler, and entertain the masses to the best of my ability.
{Ted DiBiase} See last week was supposed to be a long time coming, my reward for chasing my dream when it was snatched away from me, but instead of lying face first into a celebratory ice cream cake, I was left lying in a puddle of my own blood, as my wife and son could do nothing but watch in absolute horror. Do you know how hard it was to even get my wife to let me leave the house last week to show up for Breakdown? She saw the man that she loves, the father of her baby boy in a way that she's never seen me...and I never wanted that to happen, I never wanted to intertwine my personal life with my career like that. I've gotten my ass kicked a bunch before sure, but to be there live and in person, not being able to call me the minute after like she usually can, it broke her heart. Even my son, as young as he is, to see me like that.....
He goes silent, his emotions getting the best of him, he's not on the verge of tears, no he's getting more and more frustrated with each passing second as he relives that moment and imagines what his son saw....the very thought angers him, expression on his face intensifies and his grip over the microphone tightens.
{Ted DiBiase} You're going to pay Cody! Last week? That was nothing. You might have gotten away from me then, but I left my mark on you, and the next time I get my hands on you, I'm not letting go until every ounce of breath has escaped your body, and a waterfall of your own blood is gushing down from every single wound I'll inflict on you! I don't care that you've aligned yourself with Vickie, worthless spine lacking scum like you always cling to others like them, because you're not man enough to stand on your own two feet and handle things yourself, no...you've gotta get all the backup you can so you don't wind up getting your ass handed to you every single second of every single day. Just like you hid behind a silly petition to get me fired, and clung to everyone just like you to get their signature as if that'd prove something. Don't think I've forgotten about that, because while Vickie may have done your dirty work for you then, I know you're the one that started that bullshit, and because I finished it, you decided to come back from your little hiatus to do what you didn't have the guts to do over eight months ago.
{Ted DiBiase} You want me to blame myself for your actions two weeks ago? No, it doesn't work like that Codes, see, every man or woman are responsible for their own actions, they hold that final say in what they do and don't do, no one forced you to come back, no one forced you to attack me and leave me smack dab in a pool of my own blood, that was your decision. Which I promise you right now before the entire world, I will make you regret that decision for the rest of your life! Because when I'm done with you? Every time you look into your little mirrors that you love so much, you'll see a battered, bruised, and beaten beyond recognize glob of skin that you used to be able to call a face . A face that you love to call dashing, will soon be described as only one thing, disfigured.
[???] ATTENTION PLEASE.
{Michael Cole} Finally! Our savior is here!
{Jerry Lawler} Oh, brother.
*Clearly, the crowd isn’t as excited for the arrival of the “Dashingly Insane” Cody Rhodes as he makes his way out to the stage. Jeers and “YOU SUCK!” chants fill the arena as Ted watches on from the ring, with almost no emotion in his face.*
{Michael Cole} These people have no respect for XWL’s finest!
{Jim Ross} Cody Rhodes has no respect for anybody else in the world, don’t start that crap.
{Michael Cole} He respects me!
*Cody removes his hood and gazes at the packed crowd in Northern Ireland. He brushes off everything they say and continues down the ramp, Ted’s eyes never leaving his arch-rival. Cody looks up at him and laughs, what does he have planned for tonight?*
*Eventually, Cody makes his way into the ring and grabs a microphone. He tries to silence the crowd so he can speak.*
[Cody Rhodes] ATTENTION PLEASE.
*The boos get even louder as Cody tries to finally speak.*
[Cody Rhodes] Ted, I beg you, just give me a little time to speak here. I don’t want you sucker punching me while I’m trying to speak, especially after that stunt you pulled on me last week in London. You want to come out here and preach about how everyone is responsible for their own actions. You’re a hypocrite, Ted. Remember all the people you put out of action last year? When you didn’t get your way you would violently assault the other person. Remember when you injured Edge last spring? How about the time when you battered a poor, defenseless announcer in my good friend, Michael Cole. Most importantly, you better remember what you did to me last year at Night of Champions. You injured and assaulted all of us. Yet, you still wouldn’t take responsibility for your own actions. When I got you fired you kept coming back. You were like a little nat Vickie Guerrero couldn’t swat away. You showed up each and every week begging for your job like the little brat you are just because you couldn’t accept the fact that you DESERVED to be fired.
{Ted DiBiase} Cody, let me tell you...
[Cody Rhodes] Whoa, hold your horses there. I’m not done talking yet. Let me get something straight here. This is the first time we’ve had a face to face confrontation in the ring in well over eight months. I think you forgot I am the one in control here, Ted. You listen and more importantly you answer to me. Now, let me continue. I want to make sure you don’t think it’s some coincidence that I returned to this company the same night you did. I’m sure you could have figured that bit out on your own, but then again you are the same man who leads the DiBiase Posse. I don’t like you, Ted. In fact, I hate you. I hate your guts, everything you’re about, and everything you stand for. We are exact opposites and you are a diseases in this company. Since nobody else in the company has the balls to do it, I am going to be the one to get rid of you. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. I am back to right the wrongs in this company. I am back to save this company again, and this time I’ll do it once and for all. It all starts with you Ted. I need to eliminate you in order to lead all these people to their salvation. You are the beginning of something so much bigger.
*Ted raises the microphone and looks to speak again, only to be cut off by Cody again.*
[Cody Rhodes] What don’t you get about this, Ted? You speak when I tell you that you can speak. I don’t think you’re aware of how much power I actually posses, but I assure you that you will find out soon enough. I can have you fired again in an instant. There’s just no fun in that. No satisfaction, no vindication, no revenge. I want you out of this company, gone. Never to be seen or heard from again. I want everybody to forget the name Ted DiBiase and everything you’ve done wrong in your time here. I just want to make sure you never forget the name Cody Rhodes. Every time you sit at your house wallowing in your own self pity about what could have been, I want you to know I am the reason for your collapse. I want you to know that you are a failure because of me. I want you to see the name of “Cody Rhodes” every time you close your eyes and take a deep breath. I want to be the one who ended the career of Ted DiBiase, I want to be the savior of this company.
[Cody Rhodes] Not only do I want to be the savior of this company, the man who ended your career, I need to be. I am here to be the savior. I am here to show this company and all of these people the light. I am the one responsible for guiding them on the higher path. These people might not like it at first, and they may not accept it, but in the end it’s the inevitable. It is destiny for me to be the savior. The reason why I was put on this planet and in this company was to be the one who saved it. Not only that, but I am here to save the entire wrestling business! This is my life! This is my fate! This is my destiny! This company is nothing more than my playground. And you... you are the big bully that I have to stand up to. Everything about you is hurting this company and the business, and that’s why I hate you. You are everything wrong with this business, and above all you’re nothing more than a barbaric, primitive, animal who thinks he can do whatever he damn pleases and get away with it. I am here to stop your tyranny and end you. I will be the savior. ME! I will be the savior! ME! The “Dashingly Insane” Cody Rhodes!
{Ted DiBiase} I'm everything wrong with this business? I think you've got me confused with yourself, because whiny, self entitled, pompous bitches like you? Now that's what's really wrong with wrestling today. There's too many of you bitching about this, and bitching about that, and when you're not bitching about this, and you're not bitching about that, you just bitch to bitch! Just because you're the most fragile creature on the roster doesn't mean we have to cater to your prissy demands. You laid a beatdown on me on the night that I returned, and I simply just did unto you, as you did unto me. If you didn't wanna get your ass handed to you in front of the entire world, then maybe, just maybe it wasn't such a good idea to attack me two weeks ago? It's like you said, I'm barbaric, I'm an animal...and oh yeah, I like to violently assault other Superstars....Superstars, like you.
The fans let out a very loud pop as Ted flashes a devilish grin, a grin that tells a story of how Cody's insults didn't even phase Ted, he's proud to be barbaric, and he loves assaulting other superstars because that's what he's paid to do, to fight, and be good at it, and when you've got people complaining about you being too much of an animal in the ring and outside of it? Well then you must be DAMN good at your job. He stares at Cody, waiting for what he has to say in response to his bold statement. The fans continue cheering, Ted's grin doesn't fade, but Cody's glaring eyes become more and more intense with each moment that Ted is cheered for what he said.
{Ted DiBiase} Oh, and before you go crying to Vickie, let me clarify something for you. Yes, that was a threat.
[Cody Rhodes] WHO do you think you ARE? How DARE you threaten me! Ted, you are underestimating my power here. I am warning you that I control everything now, I run the show, and I run you. I know some cretin such as yourself is not one to adhere to the rules, but you will listen to me. The fact that your pride yourself in being an aggressive, violent, barbarian is nothing short of horrific. You’re a husband? You’re a father? In my opinion, you’re a disgrace. And yeah, you heard me right. YOU are everything wrong with this business. I am not. I am the exact opposite. I may be the evil here, but the fact is good guys finish last. If I have to be evil, if I have to be a sick son of a bitch, if I have to be dashingly insane in order to do what’s right and save this company than I will be evil. I will be a sick son of a bitch, and you’d be damn sure I’ll be dashingly insane in order to do so. And what’s the right thing to do is taking you out of the company, and I will go by any means in order to do so. I guarantee it.
{Ted DiBiase} You've seriously been reading WAY too many comic books man...evil? REALLY? EVIL?! I'll tell you right now you're not evil, you are however just like many so called men back there, a gutless yes man that'll do anything for a moment of relevancy. Just look at you now, doing the bidding of a corrupt general manager and you don't even realize it.
{Ted DiBiase} You're not not a leader of a movement to bring about change, you don't hold any actual power over anyone, not even yourself. Vickie approached you because she needed another delusional man that she could manipulate into doing whatever she wanted, and given our history, she knew you'd bite with the right bait, and you've proven her right. You're a pawn in her game and you just don't see it, and that's what's really sad about this whole thing, you think you're this "evil" mercenary out for what's right in your messed up mind, but you've fallen for the same trick that Vickie used on Shawn. He wanted to be relevant again, and he was, and now he can't even stand on his own two feet because of the consequences of signing his soul over to the devil. He had all this power he thought he had, but he found out that he was just a puppet in this whole game, and Vickie pulled the strings.
{Ted DiBiase} Now you're in his shoes, looking to play out your sick of obsession with ridding me from XWL, and there she is...promising you all of these things, and you're falling for it hook line and sinker...You're just a lonely little boy seeking acceptance from anyone that'll give it you...and Vickie's exploiting that right in front of you. But of course you're the one calling the shots, right? Mommy's not holding your hand telling you it's okay? Should you even be out here right now? Did you ask permission? We wouldn't want you getting in twouble now would we?
Cody looks at Ted like he's just about right to explode. As he raises the microphone, he tries to play the insults off like they didn't get to him. He cracks a smile as he begins to speak.
[Cody Rhodes] You’re pathetic, Ted. I almost pity you. What are you trying to do, get in my head? Well, guess what. That’s not going to work. You might try to rile me up with some cheap talk, but you’re not going to play mind games with me. You’re not going to get me angry and you’re not going to get under my skin. I know someone of your caliber doesn’t quite understand business, but let me assure you that Vickie and I have a business relationship. An equal business relationship. So you better think twice about calling me a pawn in order to get me angry. But if you want to keep talking and if you want to keep insulting me... well... I’m going to shut you up. Yeah, that’s right. You heard me. I am finally going to shut you up and end your barbaric ways. I’m throwing out the challenge right here, right now. “Dashingly Insane” Cody Rhodes against Ted DiBiase at Dead Man’s Hand. I am going to end you and I am going to do so at Dead Man’s Hand. What do you say, Ted?
A grin forms on the face of Ted DiBiase as he lowers his head with his microphone raised up...the fans eagerly awaiting his response, and Cody is confidently standing across from Ted, thinking he's hot stuff for challenging Ted like that.
{Ted DiBiase} You want me at Dead Man's Hand?
His head slowly rises, and his eyes pierce like daggers into Cody with a strong intensity burning inside of him...
{Ted DiBiase} You got me buddy boy.
The fans cheer loudly for this match being made right in front of their very eyes, the two stare at one another, silence between them but the fans still going wild in the background.
[Cody Rhodes] Oh Ted, you're still as foolish as you were the last time I was in this company. It's great to see that some things just never change. Now, don't try and weasel your way out of this match when the time comes from me to hand you the beating you deserve. Let's act like gentlemen and shake on it.
{Jerry Lawler} What?
The crowd is confused as Cody extends his hand to Ted with a giant grin from ear to ear on his face. Ted looks down at his hand, not sure whether or not it's a legitimate sign of sportsmanship from Cody or another one of his devious traps...
{Michael Cole} Well? Go on, shake his hand!
{Jim Ross} I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
{Jerry Lawler} I'm with you, surely Ted knows it's an obvious trap?
{Michael Cole} So a man can't ask to shake another man's hand without having some type of ulterior motive?
{Jim Ross} When that man is Cody Rhodes, no.
Ted stares at Cody's extended hand, looks out into the crowd, unsure of what he should do, he knows it's likely a trap, and that explains his hesitation. However while Ted's running the possibilities for how this could end up in his head, Cody looks at Ted with his hand still extended out and says "Do the right thing, shake my hand." DiBiase then slowly extends his hand out, still far from Cody's the uncertainty on his mind is evident, but after looking into Cody's eyes one last time Ted mouths "Ah what the hell" shaking his hand with a firm grip, and the fans aren't sure how to react in this place and time.
{Jim Ross} Well I'll be...that's certainly not how I saw that playing out.
{Michael Cole} See! You shouldn't talk so lowly of Mr. Rhodes like that, he's a wonderful man that just wanted to show Ted the respect he doesn't deserve, but because he's so great he did it anyways.
{Jerry Lawler} That wonderful man just called himself evil a few moments ago...
{Michael Cole} He's just misunderstood, his intentions are good but people label him as evil because his ideals don't match theirs.
Cody flashes a strangely smug smile once the handshake ends, goes to pull his hand away, but that's when Ted's grip tightens, and his brash expression fades, his jaw dropping, and a feeling of confusion overtaking every other emotion. The fans start loudly cheering, then Ted smiles right at Cody, before pulling him closer, spinning him around and setting him up for Dream Street to a tremendous pop from the audience tonight.
{Michael Cole} What?! Hey! What's he doing!
{Jerry Lawler} Obviously beating Cody to the punch, you think Cody wasn't going to try to blindside him there? Clearly DiBiase saw it coming and he's smart enough to be one step ahead of Cody Rhodes.
{Jim Ross} Business just picked up folks, look at Cody's face, he's helpless, he doesn't know what to do!
{Michael Cole} Do something Cody, don't let this mad man assault you!
With his eyes bulging out of their sockets, DiBiase goes to launch Cody into the air, but some quick thinking from the "Dashingly Insane" helps him slip out of his grip, stumble to the mat then immediately hightails it out of there collapsing to the floor outside the ring as the a swarm of security jump in front of him forming a large wall between Rhodes and DiBiase much like last week.
{Jim Ross} Shades of last week with the security coming to the aid of Cody just before things could get too out of control.
{Jerry Lawler} Cody better be thanking his luck stars that he was able to get away from Ted, he wants nothing more than to beat the holy hell out of him, and at Dead Man's Hand Cody might end up regretting his decision to challenge Ted.
{Michael Cole} Regret? He's standing up for what's right, and that's ending Ted DiBiase. He's nothing more than a ruthless bastard that needs to be stopped, and Cody's going to do just that in two weeks.
{Jim Ross} Maybe, maybe not, nonetheless it is official two weeks from now these two men will square off in that ring, and it's bound to be explosive.
Cody stands up behind the barrier of security, then begins to laugh as Ted stares intently at him from all the way inside the ring. "Hide while you can, because I'm kicking your ass in two weeks!" Ted proclaims in a shouting tone, but Cody just shrugs it off responding with another laugh, as if he's either not taking Ted seriously, or he's hiding his fear with the laughter. They continue staring at one another until we fade out to a commercial break.

*Samoa Joe wins! The fans raise to their feet and clap for both Joe and Roderick after a five star match ending with a thrilling muscle buster. Joe gets to a knee with a smirk as his arm is raised by the referee. He wipes the sweat from his forehead as Roderick Strong rolls out of the ring, Joe asks for a microphone and his music comes to a stop.*
[Samoa Joe] AJ Styles! I know you're watching, somewhere in this building you're watching in disbelief that I'm actually here. But you can't hide forever, oh no. You hide in the back with your boy Dean but sooner or later I'm gonna find you, and it's very.. very simple. When Joe finds you, Joe... is gonna KILL you!
*Joe drops his microphone as his theme hits again after a short but sweet statement towards "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, he rolls out of the ring and marches to the back on a mission. We head off to a video package.*

*The camera opens up on Kofi Kingston dressed in street clothes heading towards the exit following his defeat to Alex Shelley. Kofi turns and notices the camera man.
{Kofi Kingston} You guys really like talking to me don't ya? Haha. Just messing with you guys, I'm always glad to do an interview. I assume you're going to ask about the loss tonight, and all I have to say is, WOW. I asked for it last week, management so graciously responded by upping the competition for me and despite me doing great Shelley was just a tad bit better. My ribs still hurt from that Frog Splash too. But no worries, I'll get him next time. See you guys later!
*Kofi turns away but the camera man speaks up quickly before he's gone.
{Camera Man} Actually! I have another question for you Kofi, with your match against Rollins set up for Dead Man's Hand what are you preparing for in the match?
{Kofi Kingston} Same strategy as Final Stand, it worked there it should work again. I'll throw a tweak in here and there but the best game plans never need to change if they worked so well the first time. Despite my not looking him, and his outlook on everything he is still vicious in the ring. I mean he kicked my ass at Final Stand, I still have some bruises and some pain from that match and that's going to happen again at Dead Man's Hand but in that situation I will be the one leaving with my hand raised.
{Camera Man} Okay what are your plans after Dead Man's Hand?
{Kofi Kingston} My plan is to---!!
*Suddenly Kofi is floored by an clothesline to the back of the head by Seth Rolins! Seth doesn't waste any time kicking Kofi in the ribs repeatedly and also adding in some unches to the back of the head. He then picks Kofi up and nails him with God's Last Gift! Kofi is out cold and Seth with a crazed look in his eyes stares through the camera, his breath short and his tone filled with rage says.*
[Seth] You people listen to me, and listen to me good! I am not Kofi Kingston I am not a joke! I pinned The Rock last week, that's right I pinned the Great One! If there is anyone out there who thinks that I am not the brightest star in this company then I'd like to see them step in the ring and stop me. Kofi, I told you that Blackout was coming at Dead Man's Hand and this, ha this is only the appetizer. Because at Dead Man's Hand I don't care if it's anything from a Pillow Fight to a Taipei Deathmatch at the end of the night you will know that you shouldn't have messed with Seth Rollins and everyone in the back and at home will know BLACKOUT IS COMING!.
*Seth gets up and then kicks Kofi in the head as a farewell, Redemption then heads to it's next segment.*

Normal Match
Seth Rollins vs The Rock
And 10 minutes later into the match. . .
Seth Rollins irish whips The Rock into the turnbuckle corner and backs all the way up to the turnbuckle diagonal to it. Seth charges towards him and hits him with a corner forearm smash. He then grabs The Rock and hits him with a turnbuckle reverse STO, followed by Seth pushing Rock onto the ground and trying to go for the cover. . .
1!
2!
Kickout by the Rock, The Great One just isn't going to stay down. Seth rolls out of the ring and onto the apron. He looks at The Rock and twist his head to the side, probably measuring how far he'll need to jump to pull this move off. Rollins springboards off the ropes and tries to hit a frog splash but Rock moves out the way and Seth crashes right into the mat. Seth gets up from the ground and Rock hits him with an armdrag, followed by another. Seth gets up and immeadiately Rock goes to work, hitting him with a flurry of shots to the head backing Seth all the way to the ropes. Rock irish whips Seth to the ropes but Seth reverses it with an irish whip of his own but Rock comes running back with a flying clothesline to Seth.
Rock stalks Rollins as he gets back up, kicks him in the gut and plants with a thunderous DDT to the mat. The People's Champ goes for the cover on Rollins
1!
2!
Th. . .
And Rollins kicks out to the Rock's dismay, Rock looks at the official in disappointment as the Ireland crowd certainly thought Rock had it there what that wonderful series of offense. The People's Champ picks up Rollins and irish whips him into the turnbuckle. He walks over and hits Rollins with a series of strikes before lifting him up on the top turnbuckle. Step by step, the Rock soon makes his way to the top and it looks like he could be going for a superplex. The Rock sets up the superplex and tries to go for it but Rollins holds on, Rock tries yet again but Rollins holds on. The former King of The Ring winner pushes The Great One causing him to land on his feet skillfully. Seth jumps off to hit an axe handle but The Rock hits Seth with a spinebuster!
The Ireland crowd is cheering massively as they see what's coming next. Rock kicks the arm of Seth Rollins and starts to take off his elbow pad but before Rock can do it anything. . .
The music of John Morrison plays yet again and suprisingly, the crowd boos the usual fan favorite, most likely because he cost Rock his match last week against Rollins. What exactly could Morrison want this week? The Intercontinental Champion steps out in his ring gear, does his signature pose at the top of the ramp, and walks down to the middle of the ramp staring down at the Rock.
Morrison takes off his jacket slowly and pulls out a microphone he had hidden under his jacket and begins to speak.
[John Morrison]: What a great crowd we have out here in Belfast, Ireland, fans who aren't just going to cheer for you because you're considered one of the good guys. I like you guys already, keep up the good work. But I will say this, I rather you boo for doing something wrong than to boo me for what happened last week. I have a couple of reasons why I'm out here right now, hear me out. First, I'd like to issue an apology to the Rock for costing his match against Seth, I had no intention of coming out here to actually cost you the match, I came to just have a little talk with you and well. . .Seth took the opportunity to super kick in the face. I apologize. Second of all, I honestly did come out here to check on The Rock, he didn't look to well after his match.
[John Morrison]: When I left the ring last week, you were on the ground, holding your face from that thunderous kick, how's your face? Let me stop sugar coating everything, you want to know why I come out here week after week? You want to know why I come out here in the middle of your matches? Simple Rocky, to give you a message. Every time you step in the ring with a guy like Seth or The Miz or Austin Aries, whoever, you certainly come out with the mentality that Seth couldn't hang out with the big guys, that he was just like me, that he hasn't exactly proved himself to step in the ring with you. I don't know where you get it from, you've beaten Brock Lesnar, fine I'll give it to you, he's a monster but I've beaten some big guys too.
[John Morrison]: Let me refresh your memory Rocky, just a couple of months ago, John Morrison, a so-called little guy who has proved nothing in your eyes, beat The World Heavyweight Champion at the time, Triple H. Triple H was on a huge roll last year and the beginning of this year and I beat him, what does that make me? Let me guess, I'm just lucky. I've also beaten guys like Shawn Michaels, the Champion of the Year, but oh wait, I'm guessing I still have a lot to prove, Shawn was probably having a bad day. It's not only that but basically, and excuse my language children watching, but you try to shit on my reign and speak of it like it's nothing. I've fought to be where I am now and I'd like to think I'm doing a whole lot better than you are doing in this company, what have you acomplished in the past few months, a few good beating from the hands of Mankind and Brock Lesnar?
John Morrison drops the microphone and walks over to the apron and hops on it. Rock walks over to him and they lock eyes, they're face-to-face, anything could happen. The Intercontinental Champion drops down for the apron, which garner boos from the fans, and turns his back on the Rock shaking his head. Rock smirks and is surprised when Seth rolls him up from the back, grabbing tights. . .
1!
2!
3!
Seth music plays as he picks up yet another win over The Rock. He scurries out the ring and runs up the ramp as the crowd boos his him. The Rock is visibly upset at what has just happened, two weeks in row, he's been distracted by John Morrison and has lost his match because of it. Rock rolls out the ring and ask for a microphone before taking a seat on the floor.
[The Rock] Okay here's the deal Britney! You wanted The Rocks attention you got it! Coming out here while The Rock is taking care of business is starting to piss him off really bad so how about this! Dead Mans Hand, you be the little two bit bitch that The Rock is taking care of! It won't be as fun as wrestling with the real Beyonce but it will be just as satisfying when The Rock takes his size fourteen boot, turns that sum'bitch sideways and shoves it straight up your candy ass!
John Morrison picks up the microphone he threw down on the ground earlier and begins to speak.
[John Morrison]: Rock, I accept your challenge, I doubt anything you just said will happen but at Dead Man's Hand, John Morrison will take on The Rock for the Intercontinental Championship. If anything, you should be getting ready to hang with the big boys.
John Morrison drops the microphone as he looks at The Rock, this is his chance to basically shut The Rock up, John Morrison isn't in the little leagues anymore, he's a big time superstar. The screen fades to black as the last thing we see is the staredown between the two opponents.

[Josh]: CM Punk, recent events show that you currently have an issue with the current Money in the Bank holder: Christian. Many believe that the reason this issue has arisen is due to the MiTB briefcase itself and how people believe you are bitter that Christian gained entry into the match to compete for the briefcase over the likes of yourself. What do you have to say to these people?
[[Punk]]:: What do I have to say to these people? Of course these people are going to believe that my resentment towards Christian is based on the Money in the Bank briefcase quite simply because I went out there and I stated that I should’ve been afforded the opportunity instead of Christian, which is of course a fact, so these people are going to naturally latch on to that because they are sheep, I could’ve went out to that ring and said based my resentment on anything I wanted to and these people would eat it up and hold it tight and claim it to be the true reason as to why I dislike Christian. Truth is that’s not the reason why I dislike Christian, he was given the ball and he ran with it and anybody with sense would’ve done the same thing given the chance but the fact remains that I beat “Captain Charisma” leading into the biggest event of the year, as soon as he was faced with real opposition he fell at the first hurdle and in all honesty shouldn’t have been considered from that point onwards but it’s done now, I could talk about this until I am purple in the face but it won’t get me nowhere, so I’ve moved onto making something happen myself.
[[Punk]]:: You see my true resentment towards Christian is based on the fact that he walks around here like the big man on campus without earning the right to. He has somehow got this idea in his mind that just because he walks around with that prop in his hand makes him better than everybody else, truth is he isn’t even close to proving that fact. Guys like myself, Chris Jericho may refer to ourselves as the best, of course I’m right and he’s wrong in that front but the fact remains that we have earned the right to be the best, we have done it all in this company and you can’t even dispute the fact but Christian? Christian has won one match, congratulations for once in his life he didn’t succumb to the pressure and fail miserably at achieving his goal but now he finds himself at the big boys table, he’s got his eyes set on the prize and he is gunning for Chris Jericho but if he wants to get as chance at that World Heavyweight Championship, he’s got to get through me first. I don’t believe that a little briefcase makes you worthy to be Champion, to be a Champion you’ve got to beat the best and I can tell you without a shadow of doubt in my mind that I am the Best in the World.
[[Punk]]:: As far as I’m concerned Christian is not a challenge, he is not a threat and until he proves that fact then he won’t have a chance at becoming World Champion, right now all he is, is the little boy that is showing off in front of friends. He’s trying to force his way out of the shadow and he’s going to try everything in his power to do that and he is trying his hand at being the bad guy to try and surpass his former partner Edge and in all honesty it just doesn’t come off as believable. I mean, you can’t say the most horrific things, you can do the most brutal and barbaric things that the mind can possibly think of but at the end of the day you will be the guy that had your career halted by the likes of Vickie Guerrero and Eve Torres. Now I may be speaking for myself here but when you hear that it doesn’t exactly strike fear into the heart and soul does it? You see Christian likes to act the victim, he likes to imagine that the World stands in his way when truth be told he hasn’t had any real opposition let alone major threats in his path, that is until now. You see unlike Vickie Guerrero and Eve Torres, I don’t give up so easily and any task that I have in my mind will be completed and that is not me getting ahead of myself, that is pure fact that I am giving you, each and every time I go out to that ring I tell the World my intentions and all anybody can do is watch in horror, helpless to my path of destruction on the way to completing what I set out to do.
[[Punk]]:: I wasn’t lying when I stated I was unlike anything that Christian has come across before, in his past affairs he has managed to somehow come out on top against lower talent but there are no happy endings when it comes to CM Punk, there is only one way that this story ends and that is me proving to Christian that he does not deserve to be in the ring with the likes of myself, that Christian does not deserve to be Mr. Money in the Bank and that Christian does not deserve his opportunity at the World Heavyweight Championship. You can try and defend his side of the argument all you want, Christian can go out to that ring and make his corny jokes and he can put on his bad guy routine because that shtick just doesn’t work on yours truly, better men have tried and better men have failed. In a short while, maybe not today, maybe not even tomorrow but in the coming days Christian will realise that he made the biggest mistake of his career by getting involved with the likes of me and Christian, I hope your listening right now, I know you’ve got a big match coming up but I want you to know that as long as I’m around, your little hopes of becoming Champion will go unfulfilled and I will shatter your dreams under my boot. Like I said, there is no happy ending when it comes to CM Punk and there is not a damn thing you can do to prevent it because I am better than you. I am better than you, I am the future World Heavyweight Champion and all that you are is a little bump in the road of me reclaiming what is rightfully mine and that little briefcase you hold in your arms so tightly that you like to think says otherwise is all trivial, because my name is CM Punk and I am the Best in the World.

*Redemption returns from commercial break to the ring where in the ring, sat on a steel chair, is the man who last week returned after a short dissapereance to attack his rival, Kane! The fans are on their feet as Randy Orton holds a microphone in his hand, yet he doesn't speak, as he sits there with a cold, uncaring, look on his face with hints of anger showing every now and then. His theme begins to die down along with the crowd, leaving Orton sitting their with no sounds hear. Orton slowly begins to raise his microphone to speak.*
[Randy Orton] The past couple of weeks, even since my loss to Kane at Final Stand to be exact, my thoughts haven't been too straight and I couldn't exactly think right. Not like that has ever been an excuse for me in the past, but this time around, it's a different case of me being lost in the cold, dark, depths of my mind. I couldn't do anything but re-watch my match with Kane, time and time again, trying to find where I went wrong. I couldn't think about anything besides my loss to Kane at Final Stand V, I couldn't feel anything besides the numbness my hands would feel after clenching my anger deep in them, not letting myself snap and hurt people who don't deserve to be hurt. The only man who truly deserves to be hurt around here, Kane, the man who everyone thought would lose to Randy Orton at Final Stand V. He proved all of you wrong, he proved me wrong, he proved everyone wrong and with my numerous no-shows at live events, shows, autograph signings, it looked as if he had won the war between the two of us. I thought that he had won it too.
*Orton pauses for a moment before speaking again.*
[Randy Orton] I sat in a dark room, only light coming from anywhere in that room was from the Television that had my match set to repeat and only my match. And as the memories began to fill my mind, that is when something snapped and I just couldn't handle it anymore. I couldn't handle the pain of losing anymore, I'd even go and say that I was a sore loser but by the end of this, the only one who will be sore from head to toe is Kane. He managed to escape, escape once again, I hate myself for letting him get away because each time I let him escape, I feel I'm letting far too many people down. Myself, my wife, my family, but most importantly, my father. The man who Kane kidnapped weeks before Final Stand and it was my job to show Kane what exactly the Orton's are capable of and the only thing I showed him was how weak I was. How much of a fool I was. How simple minded I was for letting Kane's mind games get to me.
[Randy Orton] Each time I get my hands on the monster, I can feel that each time he has grown a little weaker, softer, a little more scared of the venom that he has yet to feel yet. And how Ironic is it that in a matter of weeks, XWL is debuting a new Pay-Per-View called Dead Man's Hand. The ironic part about that, they will have a Dead Man of their own to deal with soon enough because let me just make it perfectly clear about what I intent on doing to Kane the next time I'm able to get my hands on him. Kane thinks what he did could end me, the ideas growing inside my mind would make his ideas of "ending" me seem like child's play. I would make it seem like a little kid playing with some toys. And come Dead Man's Hand, I expect to see Kane in that ring, one way or another. What I mean by that is if I get my rematch, that is fine, if I have to beat him within' an inch of his life and drag him out there, I'm fine with that to. It all depends on what Kane wants, because what he chooses, could be the end of the Big Red Monster's history in X..W...
*Randy Orton is cut off by the theme of Kane as fire shoots up on the stage. The lights in the arena dim and fog fills up the stage. Randy stands up from the chair and looks towards the stage, awaiting Kane’s arrival. Eventually, Kane emerges from the fog, pushing a large box-like object along with him. As he steps out the shot is more clear and we can see he’s carrying a casket. Orton looks on, confused, as Kane brings the casket to ringside. He grabs a microphone and enters the ring, getting right in Orton’s face.*
[Kane] Randy, Randy, Randy... you surely like to do a lot of talking. At the end of the day, that’s all it is. Talk. There’s a phrase about talk; “talk is cheap” they say. You are the epitome of that. You come out here and talk about all the things you are going to do to me. You say you are going to hurt me and you are going to destory me. Hell, you were just talking about how you are going to beat me within an inch of my life. It’s just so sad how none of your words have any... merit. I, on the other hand, have backed up every single thing I have said. I told you I was going to break you down mentally, and I did that after forcing you to watch me torture your father, “Cowboy” Bob Orton. I told you I was going to end you, and I did just that at Final Stand V. Yet, here you are tonight, coming back and just begging for more. Do you want me to end you? Is that it? Do you want to me finish the career of the “great” Randy Orton? Just give me the word, I’ll make sure I get around to it.
[Kane] Now you want to talk about pain? About suffering? I have spent my entire life in agony. I was tortured by my own existence until I finally accepted what I am... a monster. Yet, here you are complaining about your loss to me at Final Stand. Are you not enough of a man to accept the fact that I BEAT you? That I am the new “Apex Predator” of XWL? The fact that you're out here talking about pain when you’re still able to walk pisses me off. I’ll show you real pain. I’ll show you what it’s really like to be hurting, to be suffering. Now I realize what I did to you at Final Stand wasn’t enough. I need to do more. I need to hurt you. I need to break you. I need to destroy you. I need to tear you apart limb by limb. I need to finish the job I started three weeks ago. If you want to talk about all the “pain” you’re going through... just wait until I’m finally through with you. That is if you can actually still speak under your own will.
[Kane] You’re a man who wants a lot of things, Randy. You want to be the greatest superstar of all time, you want the World Heavyweight Championship. You want to get your grand revenge on me and finally stop my reign of terror. Luckily for you, I will actually grant you one thing you want. You want a rematch with me at Dead Man’s Hand, well you got it. One more time, Kane vs. Randy Orton live on pay-per-view. *The crowd pops at the announcement as Randy lets out a little smirk and a nod.* Luckily for you, I already went to Hulk Hogan about this. After a little talk with him, he agreed to sign this match. He even let me spin the wheel itself. I watched the wheel spin around and around looking at all the different stipulations. Last Man Standing, Steel Cage, First Blood, Ambulance, Stretcher, Tables, and even an Inferno match. I was watching the Inferno match the entire time, hoping it would be the one chosen, the match I could end you in. Yet, in the end, it landed on something even better. Why don’t you take a look to my right...
*Kane steps to the side and extends his hand out to the casket at ringside. Randy raises his head and nods, showing Kane he’s prepared for the match. Kane looks at him and smirks, Randy just giving him a menacing stare. Kane raises the microphone and begins speaking again.*
[Kane] I just love how fitting this match is. This is the match where I beat you, where I finally end you. The career of Randy Orton finally laid to rest in the casket match. You want you to gaze upon this casket and ready yourself for what’s to come, Randy. This casket is your final resting place. Once I place you into that very casket and shut the lid at Dead Man’s Hand, the name Randy Orton will be effaced from history. Gone, forgotten. You thought what I did to you at Final Stand was bad? You were sitting around for weeks reflecting on what went wrong when I beat you last time. Luckily for you, this time around I’m going to give you a lot more time to reflect. I just warn you not think about it too much, because it’ll drive you crazy. The fact that you could never beat me and avenge your family name will haunt you from the rest of your life and drive you over the cliff.
[Kane] And don’t let what you did to me last week get the idea in your head that can beat me. You got the jump on me and caught me off guard. How about you try and do what you did last week right now? Go ahead! I dare you! Hit me, Randy! I’m a monster. You know that you can’t go toe to toe with me, I proved that at Final Stand. I want you to strike me down right here and right now, I want to know you’re going to put up a fight when I try to stuff you in the casket at Dead Man’s Hand. Come on, Randy! Am I wasting my time? Did I really finish you already? Prove me wrong! Avenge your family! Vindicate yourself! Just...
Randy Orton: You know, Kane... I am getting pretty tired of talking.
*Suddenly, Randy bashes the microphone into Kane’s skull, forcing him back into the corner!*
Jerry Lawler: Ah!
Jim Ross: Oh, here we go! We got a fight on our hands!
Michael Cole: What a cheap shot from Orton! He knows he can’t actually fight Kane!
*As Kane falls back into the corner, Randy is all over him. He hits him with the closed fists over and over, causing Kane to sink down lower into the corner. Randy takes his boots and stomps away at the midsection, the crowd going berzerk all around them. Randy is going to that place as he steps away from Kane. The camera zooms in on his face and he licks his chops. Kane is back up in the corner, and Randy hits him with a clothesline, sending him over the top. Kane holds onto the top and stays on the apron, only to receive a punch to the gut. He is hunched over the second rope as Randy grabs him by the head. He pulls him out and looks around the arena to all of the fans cheering for Randy to do it. He goes for the DDT, but Kane pushes him off and nails the big boot! Randy goes down, giving Kane a moment to regroup against the ropes.*
Michael Cole: There we go, Kane! Get him!
*Kane seems to be fully recharged as Randy staggers on his feet. Kane rocks him with a couple of hard shots, forcing him to the ground. Kane goes to down to a knee and grabs Orton by the throat, violently choking him. As he holds him in his grasp, Kane yells at him, saying he’s going to end him. Kane picks up him by the throat and brings up to his feet, but it turns out to be a mistake. Randy kicks him in the stomach and levels him with a standing dropkick. Randy takes a moment to recover before nailing Kane with another clothesline. He waits for him to get back up, hitting another clothesline. Kane struggles to his feet as Randy stalks him, hitting his signature powerslam. It’s clear what Randy is setting up to now as he connects the inverted backbreaker! Kane collapses and holds his back as Randy pounds his fists against the mat, calling for the end.*
Jerry Lawler: Oh, here it comes!
*Kane finally gets up and turns around right into the RKO! The fans go wild as Orton hunches over his victim. Kane is out as he looks over to the casket. You can the light bulb above his head as he lets out a giant smirk.*
Jim Ross: Uh-oh, Randy’s getting a few ideas!
Michael Cole: Someone’s gotta get Kane out of there!
*Randy walks over to the casket and opens it up, looking back at Kane to make sure he’s not up. With the casket lid finally open, he goes back over to Kane and drags his body over. Right before the get out of the ring, however, Kane gets up and grabs Orton by the throat. He goes for a chokeslam, but Orton fights out before he can be lifted up off the ground. He goes off the ropes looking to hit Kane into the casket, but is knocked down by a huge uppercut from the “Big Red Monster.” Randy struggles to get on his feet as Kane grabs him and tosses him into the corner. He hits him with a vary of strikes, including punches, uppercuts, and elbows. He backs up and lets Randy fall out of the corner, allowing him to hit the sidewalk slam. Randy has no idea where he is as Kane tightens his glove, raising his hand in the air. The tables are turned as now he stalks Randy, waiting for him to get up. Once he finally does, he takes him down with the Chokeslam!*
Jim Ross: Oh my god! What a chokeslam by Kane!
Jerry Lawler: I think Randy’s out of it!
*Kane drags Randy’s motionless body over to the casket, with the crowd jeering him the whole time. They try to get Orton back into it with a “LET’S GO RANDY!” chant, but it seems to be of no use. Kane dumps his body in the casket and laughs. He looks down at Orton and shakes his head before going to close the lid. Surprisingly, Randy puts his hands up, stopping Kane from closing it. Kane is in shock as Randy grabs him by the legs, tripping him. He stands up on the apron and closes the lid, only to be hit by another uppercut from Kane! The fans boo as Randy is out on top of the casket. Kane goes to the outside and gets on the casket as well, grabbing Orton by the throat. He goes for the Chokeslam again, but Randy jumps out and HITS THE RKO ON THE CASKET!*
Jim Ross: By god! By god!
Michael Cole: Oh my god! RKO on the casket!
Jerry Lawler: This is insane!
*The fans are going wild as Kane slumps off of the casket. The monster is laid out cold on the floor as Orton uses the ropes to get up.*
Jerry Lawler: Randy himself can barely stand after that move!
*As Randy steps up again on the casket, his theme hits and he raises his arm in his signature “RKO” pose to the approval of the XWL Universe.*
Michael Cole: Randy is going to regret this!
*As Redemption goes to a commercial break, we are left with the shot of Randy Orton standing tall on the casket over the body of Kane. What will happen when these two bitter rivals clash in a Casket Match at Dead Man’s Hand?*

*Redemption fades back from commercial and Coach is seen standing outsider Stone Cold Steve Austins lockeroom. He clears his throat and slowly knocks on the door. Nothing happens. Coach stands still for a few minutes and knocks yet again. Just a bit harder this time. Still nothing.
Coach sighs and goes to knock one more time when the door suddenly swings open and Austin and Coach are staring each other in the face. Coach clears his throat and hesitantly speaks as calmly as he can*
Coach St.. Steve I’m sorry to disturb you bu.. But I was wondering if I could get a moment of your time to get your thoughts on your match later tonight?
*Coach slowly moves the microphone towards Austin who looks at the fear in Coaches eyes and speaks loudly to spook him*
{Steve Austin} You alright there son? You look like you’re about to jump out your boots. Are you scare of ole Stone Cold Coach?
*Coach slowly nod’s his head. Austin smirks and goes back to speaking yet again*
{Steve Austin} So what you’re telling me is you wanna get my thoughts on my match tonight. The one with Scott Steiner?
{Crowd} What?!
{Steve Austin} Big Poppa Pump?
{Crowd} What?!
{Steve Austin} Big Bad Booty Daddy?
{Crowd} What?!
{Steve Austin} Freakzilla?
{Crowd} What?!
{Steve Austin} Is that what you’re telling me right now son? Well since you’re sitting there with your mouth sealed shut how about ole Stone Cold Steve Austin goes ahead and answers you. While I do that you can use your little brain there and think up another question. That alright with you?
*Coach solemnly nods his head. The camera pans quickly back to Austin who pauses for a few minutes before speaking*
{Steve Austin} Well if you’re thnking ole Stone Cold Steve Austin is intimidated you’re wrong son. Just because he may have a lot of nicknames doesn’t mean he’s as tough as he says he is. Ole Stone Cold only has two nicknames and that doesn’t give any clue to how good I am at whooping ass. Tonight is gonna be one hell of a match. On the one side we got a man who calls himself the big bad booty daddy. Then on the other side we got yours truly. Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Texas Rattlesnake. The Bionic Redneck and THE meanest Texan to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots. So do you wanna know my thoughts? Is that it coach? It’s quite simple son.
*Austin pauses and pulls the microphone from Coaches hands. Coach quickly backs out of view of the camera. Austin looks dead into the camera to speak a final time*
{Steve Austin} Tonight two of arguably the toughest and meanest guy’s in this company are going to step foot into that ring out there tonight. We’re gonna stand across from each other. The crowd’s gonna be so silent you’ll be able to hear the sounds of Michael Cole’s thighs slapping together because he’s so afraid ole Stone Cold will come out of that ring mid match and shove my foot up his ass. More importantly. I’m gonna look that big man in his beady little eyes. We’re gonna exchange some words. Then ole Stone Cold Steve Austin will proceed to unleash the biggest ass-kickin that that there big bad booty daddy will wan to crawl on home to his mama. I’m gonna unleash a left. Then a right. Next thing that they know WHAM I’m gonna hit that some bitch with the stunner. Crawl to the cover. That referee’s gonna slap the mat three times. Then ole Stone Cold Steve Austins hand’s gonna be raised. So Scotty. If I were you I’d do some extra lifting tonight because son, tonight, you’re gonna get your lights knocked out and that’s the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so!
*Austin shoves the microphone into Coaches chest. Who stumbles backwards against the door. The camera focuses on Austin’s intense stare before we fade to commercials.*
