As we return, static fills the screen for a few moments.
As the static clears the screen becomes black. Then, a video begins playing.
As the video ends we hear an ominous gong throughout the arena. This causes the crowd to erupt in cheer.
Fans are on their feet waiting for the arrival of the Undertaker. After a few moments, the Deadman finally appears out of a cloud of smoke.
He stands at the top of the stage and looks down into an empty ring. Fans still go crazy for him. He starts his walk down the ramp. Slowly, Taker makes it to the bottom of the ramp. Here he looks off into the audience, then makes his way to the steps. He walks up the steps, but stops at the very top. He raises his arms.
As he raises his arms the lights in the arena return to their normal state. Undertaker's face can be seen with his eyes rolled in the back of his head. Thunder sounds in the arena as the Deadman enters the ring. Undertaker is handed a microphone from ringside. His music fades out. Before he can speak, an extremely loud, "UNDERTAKER!" chant breaks out. Undertaker stares into the audience once more.
As the chant dies down, the Undertaker begins speaking.
The Undertaker "For the time I've been gone, there's been a common misconception of my whereabouts. Those misconceptions are merely fiction. For example, I was told that someone said that I had died. Now... I may not be dead, but I am still The Deadman. I'll admit it, I've been gone. Seeing that people are interested in where I've been, I'll tell you all right now. I was away handling... personal business. The type of business that can't be seen through mortal eyes. Reaping the souls of fallen angels that prey the weak is a job for only one man. That man is the reaper of souls, the phenom, the demon of Death Valley... The Undertaker."
The Undertaker "Now... there's this big question floating around tonight. Why has the Undertaker come back? That question comes with this simple answer: To Fight. I have come back, because there is something I want. It's not some title. No. I've come back, because I want to be on top here in XWL. This isn't some part time thing, I'm here for the long run. What you see around you is what used to be known as... MY YARD. But this yard is no longer My Yard. It's been taken from me. Not from one man, not from two men. It's been taken by ever single Superstar in the back. I don't take kindly to people taking what belongs to me. I came back to XWL, because I want My Yard back."
The Undertaker "It doesn't matter how long it's going to take, but I will be on top here and when I get on top... this will once again be My Yard. It doesn't matter how big you are or how strong you are. I am the reaper of souls. Every Superstar in the back is mere mortal. I don't care if I have to go through the entire locker room, I will once again reclaim my throne. Whoever lies in my path will have no choice but to... Rest... in..."
Before the Undertaker can finish a familiar theme song begins to play throughout the arena. Everyone is in shock even the Undertaker. The Undertaker does not look pleased.

The Beast Brock Lesnar is back! After months out it the atmosphere for The Next Best Thing is crazy. The crowd are cheering for the return of both of these two heavyweights. The Undertaker looks towards the stage with a very intense stare as he lowers the mic.
Brock rushes out onto the stage and looks out at all the fans before pacing up and down the stage. Focused on The Undertaker. He paces a few times before stopping at the centre of the ramp at the top and jumps on his toes. The crowd are watching on as Brock raises his arms before slamming them down as he heads down to the ring.
Neither man is showing any signs of intimidation as they near closer. As Brock gets to the bottom of the ramp he continues to stare at The Undertaker. He walks around the ring, everyone is silent at the front row as Brock has a very intense look on his face. As he makes it around the ring he heads up the steel steps, taking his time with his entrance. As he heads in the ring both men continue the staredown. Brock slowly paces forward as The Undertaker just stares down. Both men are within inches of each other, staring intensely into each others eyes. Both men show no signs of intimidation. The crowd are cheering and the flickers of flash photography shows on the screen as these two huge figures are face to face.
Brock laughs to himself and slowly takes a step back, as if to say that he won't be the first to initiate an attack. The Undertaker looks at him as he slowly begins to stride forward to the ropes to exit the ring. Brock waits until Undertaker gets to within inches of passing before suddenly spinning The Undertaker towards him and hoisting him up in the air. The crowd go wild with mixed cheers for what is happening and jeers. Brock paces the ring and lets out a scream as he sends Undertaker high in the air and slams him down to the mat with a devastating F5. The crowd begin to boo now as 'Taker is laying on the mat out cold. Brock laughs at what he has done and exits the ring. He slowly begins to back up the ramp, not taking his eyes of Undertaker who is laying on his back. As Brock gets to the top of the stage suddenly like only Undertaker can he sits up. Huge cheers can now be heard as Taker is sat upright and is looking directly at Brock. Brock smiles as the camera fades out to highlights of what happened at our last pay per view and a brief advertisement of Supremacy.

*We come back from commercial break to be met by the theme song of Mickie James who hasn't been seen since April! The fans give a warm welcome for the veteran diva as she walks onto the stage with a smirk on her face and a microphone in hand. She looks as if she's about to speak but the fans break into a huge round of "Welcome Back!" chants as Mickie stops and smiles.*
[Mickie James] Wow, thank you!! That's so overwhelming, honestly, it means so much to hear the cheers of the crowd again because it's been far too long since I've been out here! It may have just been a couple of months but that felt like an eternity away from the ring for me, I just felt like I needed some time off to recharge myself and come back fresh and man I've missed a lot in the time I was gone. I've been watching XWL every week studying the divas that are busting their asses week in and week out and all I've got to say is wow. The division is on fire! And I can't wait to jump right back into it and show everyone what I'm all about. I feel the division needs a little hardcore country added to it.. Now I know, I know, I can't be hot shotted to a title shot or anything right away but that's obviously expected! I want to do things the old fashioned way.
[Mickie James] I know there's a long line of divas right now, whether they be in Queen of the Ring or in contention for the title itself. What I plan on doing is showing up here week in and week out and beating every single diva until there's nobody left but myself and the champion. I know that sounds like a hell of a task but in the wrestling business you need to think big and dream big as cheesy as that sounds.. And there's one thing I've always liked to do in this business and that's make history. I've made history before with past title reigns and matches and I've damn well got plenty of room to make a lot more history around here. Now's an exciting time to come back, with Queen of the Ring and returns of divas like Alicia Fox, Trish Stratus and Gail Kim. All eyes are on us right now!
[Mickie James] Now let's not forget my past in XWL, I am a former Miss Money in the Bank and a former two time Divas Champ. That may seem like a lot to some divas but it's definitely not enough for me, I'm all about making new goals. And I know we're in July right now but there's still plenty of time to solidify my name as one of, if not, THE diva of 2013. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not underrating all of the divas in XWL. I know there's some amazingly talented athletes here who are gunning for that number one spot. Then I see divas like Brie and Nikki Bella.. You know the kinda girl I'm talking about right? The "better than you" attitude, the fresh sense of arrogance whenever they walk into a room when all they really are is a couple of mouthpieces who can't fight for anything when it comes to it! And if The Bellas take offense to what I have to say right now, all I've got to say is ladies, step right up because I'm going nowhere.
*Mickie smirks and opens up her arms before bringing her microphone back.*
[Mickie James] One more diva that I forgot to mention! Quite an extraordinary diva who I've heard a lot of recently and that's AJ Lee.. AJ, I like you. Don't get me wrong I know how much of a diehard wrestling fan you are, just like me. But all you do is crave attention, attention and even more attention. Now I know I've had this word thrown at me a lot in the past but quite frankly, you're crazy. I mean, dressing up as another diva and pretending to be them? Come on.. been there, done that. Maybe you should find something positive for yourself for once in your career, like, you know, maybe wrestling instead of becoming obsessed with certain goat faced wrestlers or other divas? Just a tip, it works great, honestly!
*The fans pop at Mickie calling out AJ now.*
[Mickie James] I guess that kinda wraps this whole return up, all that's left for me to do is lace up those boots again and get back in the ring to show the whole world once again what exactly Mickie James is all about. I may have been around the block in XWL before but mark my words then I tell you all right now, I'm just getting started. And next week-
*Suddenly as Mickie is in the middle of talking she is blindsided from behind! Mickie hits the floor instantly as the camera pans up to reveal who the attacker is!*
*It's Gail Kim! The fans now turn on Gail as they begin to boo her right away, Mickie tries to get up but Gail viciously kicks her in the stomach. She waits for Mickie to try and get up again and shouts "Come on Mickie, think of your fans!" before kicking her in the gut a second time with even more force. She grabs Mickie by her hair and pulls her to her feet, but out of instinct Mickie slaps Gail in the face! Mickie lunges forward to try get back at Gail for the attack but Gail quickly knees her in the ribs which she has singled out. Gail then takes Mickie by the back of her head and throws her off the ramp! Mickie falls off the ramp down onto the hard concrete floor with a thud, the fans gasp and then boo as Gail stands proudly on the ramp clapping her hands together for a job well done.*
*Gail's theme hits as she stands on the edge of the ramp looking down at Mickie who is being attended to by medics. She nods her head and then raises her arms in the air to another chorus of boo's from the crowd. Gail makes her way to the backstage area as we fade away from this hectic scene to a video package for the one and only Austin Aries!*
*Redemption returns from a short commercial break as The Shield is show backstage, with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose sitting on a crate in front of a camera, while Seth Rollins is shown pacing back and forth in the background.*
{Dean Ambrose} People wonder why I act the way I do, people wonder why I have a chip on my shoulder, people wonder why I have yet to slay the Dragon. After failing to win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at Final Stand, after failing to become the World Heavyweight Champion at Dead Man's Hand, then again at Unforgiven, after failing to defeat Dolph Ziggler when it mattered the most, if I was a mortal man, then maybe that would have affected me, but I'm not. Dean Ambrose is immortal, I am your worst fears, I am the darkest of nights, I am the nightmares that haunt your soul all wrapped into one.
{Dean Ambrose} Tonight marks the return of this King of the Ring tournament, and two members of The Shield are taking part in it. Along with us is ten other men, from The Shield's newest bag boy, Austin Aries, to The Miz. From Antonio Cesaro to Kevin Steen, from Daniel Bryan to my next victim tonight and the reigning Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison. Bryan already moved on earlier in the evening and now, he has to look forward to facing me in the next round. Let's face facts, Morrison, you may have been the Intercontinental Champion but in what alternate universe do you live in where you think you stand a chance against Dean Ambrose?
{Dean Ambrose} You can't beat me and you won't. The only reason you're still the Intercontinental Champion is because I broke Bryan last night before he faced you for your precious championship. You should be thanking me for making your night that much easier, but I'm not after your gratitude, I'm not after your Intercontinental Championship, I'm after something much bigger than that: The World Heavyweight Championship. And there's nothing in this world that will deny me from acquiring it.
{Dean Ambrose} If I was capable of feeling pain, I would probably be hurting right now after that Cage Match we had last night, Bryan. You may have moved on to the second round, but I saw everything I needed to, your kicks just had a bit less power behind them, you ran just a bit slower, you flew just a bit less, that and that alone proves that you are still feeling the effects of our encounter. I showed you an ounce of what I'm capable of and you could barely keep up, if that's your limit, then how do you expect to even make it to the next round?
{Dean Ambrose} By the time this tournament comes to an end, everybody will believe in The Shield.
[Roman Reigns] Believe in The Shield!
*With that said, both Reigns and Ambrose stare into the camera with intensity in their eyes before Rollins does the same. A few moments pass before they rise up from the crate and walk out of the view of the camera as Rollins shouts, “Believe that!” signaling the video coming to an end.*

*After about 20-25 minutes of complete back and forth action, Evan Bourne tries for an Airbourne but misses as Kofi evades the incoming attack, Kofi then gets up and does his usual "Boom, Boom, Boom!" taunts, hyping the crowd up wondering if this is the end of the match, Evan then gets up and is laid out with an amazing Trouble In Paradise!*
1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*The crowd pops as the very entertaining match has come to an end with both me giving it their all.*
[Jim Ross] That was a great match and both competitors gave it their all, I wish we had more matches like this.
[Michael Cole] Yawn.......Where's the Shield or somebody when you need them?
[King] Cole, now that's just disrespectfu-
*Right as King is about to finish his sentence, all of the lights in the arena go out once again.
[King] What the? The Undertaker was just out here!
[J.R.] I don't think that's him King.
[Cole] Well whoever it is, they just saved this from being the worst segment in television history! Thank you mystery man!
*Just as Cole finished saying that, we hear the sound of this theme while the lights are still out.*
*The lights stay out for a while as the song continues to play, the crowd is shocked wondering who or what this is. As soon as the song reaches it's climax the lights flash on and we see Evan Bourne getting absolutely demolished by the BullHammer of a returning Wade Barrett!*
[J.R.] Bah Gawd King! That's Wade Barrett! And he just took Evan Bourne's head off!
*The crowd boos instantaneously as the former United States Champion just looks at Evan's carcass and smirks like he has for the past two or so years whenever he has gotten rid of an enemy.*
[Cole] Yes! My prayers were answered! God save our Queen!
[J.R.] Cole, First, you're not even from the U.K.. Second, what we just witnessed was disgusting and I hope that Evan gets this bastard back one of these days.
*With that said, we then see Barrett looking intently at the camera and then yelling "I'm back!" as Redemption heads to it's next segment.*
*The sound of Ambrose pounding the mat repeatedly with is fist is heard echoing throughout the arena, almost as if the match is coming close to its end. Just as Ambrose was about to potentially put the final nail in the coffin and advance in the King of the Ring tournament...*
*The theme of the man that has already advanced in the tournament begins to play as Bryan charges out from behind the curtain, causing a “Yes!” chant to come from the crowd. Bryan counters that with a, “No!” chant as he makes his way down the entrance ramp and runs around the ring, still chanting, “No!” Ambrose doesn't take his eyes off of Bryan, who is now making his way back up the ramp, and it ends up costing him as Morrison has taken advantage of the distraction and flies off the middle rope, landing his signature Flying Chuck on Ambrose before quickly going for the pin.*
1...
2...
3!
*Morrison's theme begins to play as Ambrose sits up, almost in a state of disbelief while Morrison gets his arm raised and quickly exits the ring. Ambrose looks up to the stage where the man who cost him to get eliminated from the King of the Ring is shown standing on the stage with a smirk on his face. He doesn't take his eyes off of Bryan as Redemption fades to a commercial break.*

As Redemption returns from commercial break, Michelle McCool is seen making her way into the building, her luggage in her grasp, she looks behind her before closing the door and quickly rushing forward until she comes to a U-turn. Looking both ways, she heads to the left towards her locker room, keeping herself aware of her surroundings. As soon as she arrives at her locker room door, she let's out a sigh of relief.
Michelle Phew...
Michelle grabs hold of her luggage and goes to open the door, when she swings it open she's surprised by what she sees. Melina is stood by one of the lockers. Michelle stops in her tracks in the opening of the door, completely shocked and unsure how to react, Michelle takes a step back, trying to make her exit but Melina sights her.
Melina Michelle?
Michelle turns back to face the room.
Melina Hey Michelle, how are you? Are you feeling ok?
Michelle appears confused by Melina's behaviour as she cautiously enters, leaving her luggage leaning against the wall outside.
Michelle Uhh.. H...Hi.. Excuse me if I seem a bit rude but what are y'all doing here? A..After last week I thought..
Michelle pauses seemingly unable to speak still in shock not sure what to think of Melina's current attitude
Melina What do you mean? What happened last week?
Michelle sits completely still. A dumbfounded look upon her face. Could Melina really not remember what happened or is this a trap. Michelle hesitates but speaks
Michelle What happened last week? Okay, Melina Hun, are you messing with me or something. You seriously don't remember what YOU did to me? At all...
Melina hesitates before answering, seemingly shocked by what Michelle has asked her.
Melina What do you mean? I haven't done anything to you.
Michelle raises an eyebrow and stares blankly at Melina who just smiles. Michelle hesitates and speaks
Michelle Y...Y..You really don't remember what happened between us do you Hun? I mean I get that we had a bad past and that you'd want to put last week behind you.. but.. you don't remember anything at all?!
Michelle's voice gets a bit antsy and she takes a deep breath to try and calm down as Melina shakes her head in denial.
Melina There's nothing to remember... Are you feeling alright Michelle? You don't look so well, maybe you should sit down.
Michelle grabs her luggage and slowly goes into the lockeroom. She pauses in front of Melina who just smiles at her. Michelle sits on a bench next to her and begins to mutter under her breath
Michelle Okay, girl keep your cool maybe she's telling the truth but, how on earth could she be? The things she put you through NOBODY should have to go through.. and now..she's acting as if nothing happened?
She looks up and smiles at Melina who looks around the room before taking a step closer to Michelle.
Melina Uh, Michelle... who are you talking to?
Michelle shakes her head and realizes she must've been talking aloud. She looks up at Melina and remains firm in tone
Michelle But..I thought that.. You... Last week y'all attacked...Melina.. I.. I was bound and gagged. You were there! Y'all are telling me you don't remember a thing?!
Melina Attacked, bound, gagged... You're saying that I did this to you? Don't be ridiculous Michelle, if I had done that, why would I be here right now, by your side in your moment of need? I'm not sure if you hit your head on the way in here or something, but you should probably lie down and take a rest, you might feel better afterwards.
Michelle's face turns white in shock and confusion. She stares blankly for a minute and then her face starts to glow a bit red and she lashes out
Michelle Hit..My...Head?! No, Hun, I think y'all are the one who hit your head. You're gonna sit there and tell me.. after what I've been through.. that it's all in my head? I know what happened! YOU attacked me by slamming a door into my head. YOU captured me and held me captive for over a month and it was YOU that tortured and tormented me for something that I clearly put in my past and apologized for. So, no, "girl" I didn't hit my head. Now, let me ask you, did y'all hit YOUR head?!
Michelle tries to calm down but begins to breathe heavily out of frustration for what she had been through. Melina looks at her in shock and doesn't say anything for a few minutes
Melina Calm down, Michelle... I would never do anything like that, I'm not that kind of person and it... It just... It makes me so upset to think that you...
Melina continues as she tries to hold her tears back.
Melina That you could even think that I would put my hands on you... That I would hurt you like that... I just... I... I'm sorry, I... I need a minute.
Melina turns her back to Michelle as she sobs into her hands. Michelle pauses and doesn't say anything for a few minutes. Unsure of what is reallly happening right now. She goes to comfort Melina but then stops. She then tries to speak but stops. After a few minutes she finally speaks slowly
Michelle Melina.. Hun.. I.. I'm.. I'm.... I don't even... Here, Hun, let me help you.
Michelle goes to lean in towards Melina to help her up and give her a hug when suddenly Melina swings around and smacks Michelle across her left cheek with the palm of her hand. Michelle screams in pain, holding her left cheek. Rage fills Melina's eyes as Michelle stares at her, but before she gets a chance to react, Melina screams out.
Melina YOU BITCH!!
With that Melina charges towards Michelle, taking her down with a vicious tackle, firing strike after strike to Michelle's face and cheek. Melina stands up and grabs a chunk of Michelle's blonde hair, using all of her strength she pulls, dragging a kicking and screaming Michelle out of the locker room and into the hallway.
Michelle can be heard crying in pain from the slap and wincing with each second that Melina drags her by the hair to wherever she's taking her. Michelle tries to muster up the courage to speak. To find out why, what would posess Melina, to do something like this but no words are said. Melina can be seen ignoring a struggling Michelle. She continues dragging her down the hallway when the camera catches some staff members in the distance. Michelle faintly see's them out of the corner of her eye and screams
Michelle HEEEELLLP!
Melina looks back and tightens the grip on Michelle's hair to get her to stop talking. She continues to drag the prone Diva down the coridoor of the hallway when the camera pans back a stray worker notices whats going on and yells for referee's. Suddenly a referee and staff call out to Melina to let her go. Melina freaks and drags her frantically through the hallway. In doing so the staff of the arena rush in a sprint to catch up to them. Melina loses focus for a moment and gets caught off guard by a security guard who snags her arm and pulls her free from Michelle.
Michelle struggles to get to her feet but nothing happens. Melina lunges at her but is quickly taken down by yet another security guard. Two more men come onto the scene and attend to Michelle. Melina notices and fire fills her eyes. She rushes them and tries to claw at Michelle yet again. Finally two more security guards apprehend Melina and begin dragging her away. Two of teh men slowly help Michelle to her feet. Tears rushing down her face we see her look the opposite way. The camera focuses on Melina being dragged away. As she's kicking and screaming the screeen fades to black and we head to commercial

Redemption cuts backstage to see Joey Mercury preparing for his match with Corey Graves. He is then suddenly blind-sided by none other than Corey Graves and Amazing Red. Don West is directing Graves and Red, as they continue the assault. Graves and Red share a smirk before dragging Mercury to his feet, and throwing him into the wall. West can be heard shouting "We aren't finished yet!" West then points across to a window. Graves drags Mercury to his feet and shouts "Stay Down!" in his face, before throwing him through the glass window! Mercury crashes through the window, and Graves just has a sickening smirk across his face. Red congratulates Graves, and then joined by West. All 3 just look through the window and see Mercury covered in glass, pouring with blood and not moving. Medical Attention arrives as do security who escort The West Side Army away from the scene as Redemption goes to commercial.

XWL's Redemption returns from the commercial break and already we see Nikki Bella making her way to the ring with her twin sister, Brie Bella. Nikki Bella makes a gesture with her arms as the camera focuses on her, suggesting to the crowd and the people watching at home that she's going to win this tournament and then the Diva's Title.
[King] Are you guys ready? Divas action! But not just any divas, The Bella Twins!
[Michael Cole] Settle down there a bit, King. Welcome back to tonight's episode of Redemption, where the first round of the Queen of the Ring kicks off tonight with one of those matches coming up in just a minute.
[JR] This is the match I've personally been very intrigued in seeing play out. Last night Paige and Nikki Bella were the last remaining divas in the Elimination Last Woman Standing Tag-Team Match, and of course we all remember how that ended.
[King] How could I forget, Paige pulled out all stops to pick up the victory, and I'm surprised Nikki can even walk after all of that, hell I'm surprised any of them can.
Brie and Nikki walk down the ramp, not as fast as usual, due to the fact that they're still not 100% after that hard-hitting Last Woman Standing match against Layla and Paige. As fans stick their hands out to get a couple of hand slaps, Nikki and Brie give them dirty looks while slowly walking to the apron. Instead of running and hopping onto the apron, they instead use the ropes as leverage to climb up before doing a quick pose before backflipping into the ring.
[Michael Cole] But tonight is a new night, and the stakes are even higher now, only one woman can continue on in the Queen of the Ring, and potentially become the Divas Champion at Eye for an Eye, and it's truly anyone's to take.
[JR] That it is, but the question is who wants it more? Will Paige be able to get Alicia Fox out of her head enough to focus on this huge match, or will Nikki Bella upset a distracted Paige.
[King] We all saw how focused she was on Alicia earlier, even Layla seemed concerned by it.
[Michael Cole] But let's be honest here, what isn't Layla concerned by nowadays? I don't wanna go as far as The Bellas went earlier tonight, but I do have to agree somewhat that this new person Layla's become is borderline pathetic.
[JR] Still, she has a good reason to be concerned. Paige was hell bent on getting her hands on Alicia earlier, if The Bellas and Layla hadn't held the two apart who knows what could've happened.
The Bellas share a short conversation but soon, their facial expressions change when the music of Nikki's opponent plays. . .
The theme of The United Queendom begins to play, signaling an array of cheers directed at the Brits. After doing battle just twenty four hours ago in a brutal Last Woman Standing match at Digital Decision, which was won by the Brits with Paige as the sole survivor of her team.
Layla and Paige walk out from behind the curtain as the cheers get somewhat louder than they originally were, and given their performance last night, it's no surprise why the crowd is overflowing with a positive reaction for the Brits. They share a look with one another before both begin their descent down the entrance ramp.
Near the bottom of the ramp, both Brits begin to high five the fans in the front row on their respective sides of the barricade before Paige raises her fist into the air before they begin making their way around the ringside area.
Paige climbs up onto the apron as Layla continues to walk towards the announcers table. Paige begins removing her signature jacket before doing her all to familiar yell that she's been known to do during her entrances. She looks out towards the crowd for a moment before entering the ring and tossing her jacket onto the ring steps.
Queen of the Ring: Round One
Normal Match
Nikki Bella vs. Paige
Layla stands by the announce table, staring right at Brie and Nikki, telling them with her gaze in so many words that they better be on their best behavior because she's not about to let them screw her partner out of this match.
[JR] You could cut the tension with a knife, folks.
[King] Layla, do you wanna join us?
She quickly realizes she's been sort of frozen, just standing by the table and not actually taking a seat so she quickly turns to them smiling before sitting down and putting the extra headset on.
[Michael Cole] To what do we owe this uh, pleasure?
[Layla] Oh stop Michael, don't act like you're not happy to see me. I just thought being that I'll compete in my first round match of the Queen of the Ring tournament next week that it'd be nice to scout the competition a little closer. Which so happens to be my friend and partner, Paige, and....whatever the technical term for Nikki is.
The referee calls for the bell to ring and this match is underway. Both divas don't make a move, the two divas just stare down at one another. Paige smirks at Nikki Bella knowing that it was her who eliminated Nikki at Digital Decision in a very brutal manner. Nikki, however, doesn't smirk but gives Paige a rather dirty look. Paige is the first to make a step and she holds her hand out, screaming out "Don't be afraid Nikki, I won't bite." Before Nikki can respond, Brie shouts at her, saying "Don't let her embarrass you Nikki! She's nothing!". With her sister's supporting words, Nikki makes a step towards Paige to which Paige smiles at. The two divas in the ring begin to circle one another before locking up.
[King] And this match is officially underway, Layla who do you see coming out of this with the win?
[Layla] Well naturally I'm a little biased, so I'd say Paige. It's not that Nikki sucks, it's just that she's nowhere near Paige's level. Believe me, I've faced Paige before, there's a reason we decided to band together instead of oppose each other. She's been wrestling for a very long time and to still be so young and have so much of her career left, she's a threat to everyone, especially Nikki.
[Michael Cole] And you as well?
[Layla] Of course, I think we're both incredible threats to each other because not only of what we're capable of doing in that ring, but because we know each other so well now. When we first faced earlier this year, we had no idea what the other could do, and now should we find ourselves against each other in the finals, which I really hope we do, the fans and everyone will see an even more incredible match.
Paige gets the upper hand first by locking Nikki into a headlock. The Anti-Diva tightens her grip on Nikki's head as Brie taps the mat from the outside. Nikki gets a hold of one of Paige's hands, gets out of the headlock, and twist the arm of Paige. Nikki twist the arm of Paige more and more, getting her down to one knee but Paige is able to get back to her feet and switch the momentum by twisting the arm of Nikki. Nikki Bella pulls and pulls away and finally, she's able to get a hold of one of the ring ropes, prompting the referee tell Paige to let go off the hold.
[JR] So you're not hesitant about facing each other, despite being friends?
[Layla] The thing about this business, you're going to face your friends eventually, we all want the same thing, so our paths naturally would cross someday, and we're ready for that. It was our one match that brought us together, so another would only make our friendship even stronger.
Paige lets go right at that moment, not trying to defy the referee and break the rules. As the referee instructs Paige to back up, Nikki takes this chance to kick Paige in the gut and slams her down by using her hair. She drops to the ground and continuously slams the head of Paige against the mat, letting out some anger from the Digital Decision loss. The referee takes Nikki off of Paige but she breaks his grip and starts landing some shots to the midsection of Paige but again the referee pulls her away. Nikki backs up into the corner but as soon as Paige starts crawling to her feet, Nikki runs and punts her in the stomach before rolling her over and going for the cover. . .
[Layla] Are you serious? I know I'm no one to judge, but was that really necessary?
1!
[Michael Cole] Of course it was necessary, Nikki wants to win.
Kickout by Paige and Nikki lets out a growl. Nikki grabs Paige by the hair and picks her up from the ground. She drags Paige over to the top ring rope and places her head over it so that the rope is on Paige's neck. She applies pressure by pushing down on Paige's head, cutting off her oxygen, as the referee starts the count.
[King] Nikki Bella taking advantage of the five count here.
[Layla] Typical, it's like that's all they know how to do, cheat.
[Michael Cole] You mean like you used to do?
[Layla] At least when I took advantage of the rules, I followed up with something that could actually win me the match. Hair pulling, choking, and slamming someone's face on the mat will only get you so far, and it's not going to get Nikki past someone like Paige.
Nikki lets go at the four count as the referee removes Nikki, instructing her that she'll be disqualified if she keeps up her methods. As this is happening, Brie hops up on the apron and gives Paige a huge slap to the face before dropping back down and putting her hands in the face of the crowd as they boo her.
[Layla] Really? How can the referee not catch onto these tricks of theirs by now? It's like they do this every single match they're in, I swear if Brie pulls something like that again while I'm out here she's gonna visit from me, and it won't be a pleasant one. Those steel steps over there look awful inviting, I think they should be introduced to each other, they seem like a match made in heaven...
[JR] Sounds like you're not going to put up with their nonsense anymore.
[Layla] I've tried to be patient with those two, but there is just no getting through to them. Sometimes the only thing that can tame a bully, is for them to get a taste of their own medicine.
Paige holds her jaw while on her knees on the mat, giving Brie a cold glare, before she looks over to Nikki, who has her back turned and her arms extended, taunting the crowd. Knowing that if he can't get her hands on Brie for that slap, the next best thing is Nikki. She makes it back to her feet and spins Nikki around, slapping the taste out of her mouth as the sound echos up to the cheap seats. Nikki stumbles backwards and lunges forward to try to return the favor but only ends up taking another thunderous slap for her efforts.
[Michael Cole] Oh come on, how disrespectful!
[Layla] When have we ever lead you to believe that we have ANY respect for The Bella Twins?
[King] She's got a point there, Cole.
Nikki holds on to the top rope to keep herself on her feet, giving Paige the opportunity she needed to Irish Whip Nikki across the ring. She bounces back off the ropes on the opposite end of the ring and runs into a shoulder tackle, courtesy of Paige. Nikki rises back up to her feet almost instantly, yielding the same result. She gets back up a third time and gets dropped back to the mat, this time, with a dropkick from the Anti-Diva, who goes for the cover.
1...
Kickout!
[JR] And Nikki stays alive!
[Layla] Paige is just wearing her down, that's her strategy, quick covers always take a lot out of your opponent, it might not get the win, but it wears them out after enough of them to the point that they're too exhausted to react as well as they would when fresh.
[King] Another wise observation.
[Layla] I've been wrestling for a while now, so you pick up little things like that along the way. Paige is practically an expert at it though, if you're not careful she'll tire you out and then that's it.
She kicks out with ease as it's still early into the match. Paige runs towards the ropes and ricochets off of them as Nikki makes it to her feet. Nikki ducks an incoming clothesline, causing Paige to bounce off the ropes behind her. This time it's Nikki who has the clothesline in mind and it's Paige who ducks it before following up with a neckbreaker. Paige doesn't go for the pin and instead lifts Nikki up to her feet, throwing her arm over her neck and attempting what looks like a suplex attempt.Paige grabs a hold of Nikki's waist and lifts her up into the air, but Nikki is able to shift her weight and plants her feet back on the mat. She tries to turn the move into her favor by lifting Paige up but Paige is able to use the momentum in her favor and lands on her feet behind Nikki. She wraps her arms around her opponents waist and attempts what looks like a German suplex but Nikki wraps her leg around Paige, stopping the move in it's tracks. She lands a few back elbows to break Paige's grip and does. She takes control and tries to land a back suplex on Paige but she instinctively rolls through the attempt and lands on her feet, once again behind Nikki, grabbing her hair and slamming her hard onto the canvas.
[Layla] Nice one, Paige!
[Michael Cole] So it's okay for Paige to pull Nikki's hair, but it's a crime when Nikki does it?
[Layla] Do unto others, Cole. Paybacks not pretty but neither is Nikki so it evens itself out you see.
Nikki immediately holds her the back of her head and rolls over onto her stomach after the impact from the slam to the mat. Nikki crawls over to the apron and lays back on the middle rope. The Anti-Diva takes advantage of this moment by running to the ropes opposite of Nikki, bouncing off of it, and charges at Nikki, hitting her with a dropkick, knocking out and onto the outside mat. Paige rolls out of the ring and goes directly for Nikki as Brie watches from the outside. She picks Nikki Bella up by the hair, with her back facing the barricade and with all her power, she grabs Nikki and runs right into the padded barricade.
[Michael Cole] Hey this isn't a street fight, take the action back to the ring!
[Layla] It's not a Handicap either but that doesn't ever stop The Bella Twins from sticking their nose in every match the other has.
[JR] Paige is really showing an intensity here, do you think she's taking out her aggression for the Alicia Fox thing out on Nikki?
[Layla] Hopefully so, I know it's distracting having something like that happen but Paige has been waiting for this chance for a long time, she's in control she just needs to keep this up.
[King] That was brutal!
The twin sister of Brie Bella drops to the ground but Paige isn't done with her just yet. Paige gets her back to her feet and starts to ramming her body right into the abdomen of Nikki Bella as she stands up against the barricade. As the referee gets to the 5 count, Paige rolls back into the ring but she doesn't want to win that way, she rolls back out and restarts the count.[/b]
[Layla] That right there is the difference between The United Queendom and The Bella Twins. Do you think they would have stopped the count? No, they would've tried to win there, and what would that have proven?
Paige makes her way over to Nikki Bella but Brie Bella gets in the way, saying "Don't touch my sister!" The Anti-Diva isn't amused by this at all and pushes Brie right back into the barricade, dropping her to the ground. The United Queendom member resumes her pursuit after Nikki Bella and throws her back into the ring. Paige hops up on the apron and before she get back into the ring, she is distracted by Brie Bella. Brie seems angry that Paige pushed her down despite hitting Paige earlier. With this distraction, Nikki Bella is able to get back on her feet and she tries to charge after Paige, but she senses the Bella's movement. Paige moves out of the way and Nikki upper torso is through the ropes. Paige takes this opportunity to kick Nikki right in the upper abdomen before pulling her out onto the apron. She lands a forearm to Nikki and Nikki returns a forearm to Paige. The referee tries to inform the ladies to get back into the ring but neither are listening as they continue to trade blows. Nikki finally gets the upper hand with a gut kick to the stomach before tossing Paige over onto the top of the barricade, landing right on her stomach.
[JR] Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.
[Layla] Are you okay, Paige? I feel like I should go check on her.
[Michael Cole] But wouldn't that mean you would be getting involved?
[Layla] But she's my friend, and that didn't look good.
[King] Just stay over here Layla, it's like you said, Paige is tough, she can handle it.
As the crowd boos, Nikki Bella taunts and Brie Bella instructs the crowd to shut their mouths as they're looking at the future Diva's Champion. Nikki enters the ring quickly to exit immediately after, breaking the referee's count, she isn't done using the outside environment to her advantage. Nikki drops down from the apron and grabs Paige up by the hair. She slams her face first onto the edge of the mat, over and over as she has a rather disgusted look on her face. Nikki isn't done just yet, she drags Paige a couple of inches away from the barricade, gets a tight grip of her opponent's hair and tosses Paige right into the barricade.
[Layla] I can't watch this...Paige is still sore from last night, is this really legal?
[Michael Cole] Nothing in the rules against it.
Nikki lets out a laugh while dusting her hands off, signaling that Paige is finished and rolls back into the ring, instructing the referee to continue his count. Before the referee counts, he instructs Nikki Bella to cut her shenanigans before continuing his count.
[Layla] Is she actually trying to win like this? Get up, Paige!
4!
5!
6!
[JR] The referee's at a count of six, this doesn't look good.
7!
Paige is just starting to show some sign of life and maybe she's not out of this just yet. As the referee reaches 8, Paige hops up with all her energy and slides into the ring and Nikki Bella isn't pleased at all, she starts attacking her with a number of hits to the back.
[Layla] Way to go, Paige! You got this, just focus! Now get her off of you and show her why you're one of the best.
[King] Nikki is hammering away at her, she didn't even have a chance to defend herself.
Forearm after forearm, Nikki relentlessly continues attacking Paige as much as she possibly can before the ref is forced to interject himself into between both women, pulling Nikki away from Paige. Brie takes this moment to give her sister at bit more of an advantage, but it quickly backfires the second she grabs Paige's leg. Paige uses her leg strength to push Brie into the barricade, temporarily taking Brie out of the equation.
[Layla] That's what she gets! Enough is enough, stay out of the match.
[Michael Cole] Coming from the woman that just wanted to go comfort her friend, and get involved in the match, don't tell me you wouldn't have attacked Nikki while Paige faked being hurt to the referee.
[Layla] Oh Cole, as naive as ever. I don't do that anymore, but as we've seen throughout this match, The Bella Twins very much still do.
Nikki spots Paige making it to her feet and begins walking in her direction. She regrets the decision almost instantly, as Paige has lured her into a trap and drops her with a Lou Thesz press before grabbing two handfuls of hair and slamming Nikki's head on the canvas repeatedly. The ref is forced to insert himself into the match once more, this time, dragging Paige off of Nikki. Paige is able to break the refs grip and mounts Nikki again, repeating motion she once more. The ref pulls Paige off again, successfully this time.
[JR] Paige has lost it! She's had enough of Nikki Bella and this is getting bowling shoe ugly fast!
[Layla] You'd think they'd know better than to make Paige angry, but after three months they continue to make the same mistake, some people never learn.
[Michael Cole] Kind of reminds me of Kaitlyn attacking you this past Sunday.
[Layla] I don't see why it does, I wasn't the one that angered Kaitlyn, I just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, that's it.
[Michael Cole] Cut the act Layla, everyone knows it was you that got Kaitlyn suspended, no one benefited from it more than you.
[King] Cole...
[Layla] I can't say it enough, I wasn't the one that got Vickie to suspend her, maybe I did benefit in some way, maybe in the past I would've been the one to get her suspended for taking away such a huge accomplishment from me. I get how that seems to be everyone's go to answer, but just like you, they're wrong. I felt so bad for her, she didn't deserve that, and I know she didn't mean to attack me. Things happen, I hold nothing against her for it and that's that.
[JR] It's unfortunate that it happened, we're not sure who was behind it, if it was you or someone else, but hopefully soon we'll be able to get some answers.
Paige breaks away for the ref and shouts right in his ear, “Don't you ever put your hands on me again!” causing the ref to put his hands up, almost apologizing for doing his job. She shifts her attention back at Nikki and begins walking towards her. Nikki pushes Paige as she's pulling her up, causing Paige to bounce off the ropes, or at least she would have, had she not wrapped her arm around the top rope, stopping her momentum. Nikki makes it back to her feet and makes a beeline towards the Anti-Diva, only to be tripped by a drop toe hold, falling neck first into the middle rope.
[Michael Cole] Come on Nikki!
[King] She can't hear you Cole, and I doubt it'd make much of a difference if it did.
[JR] Paige is at it again!
Nikki tries to gasp for air as Paige pushes her head forward, causing Nikki to be choked by the rope and forcing the ref to begin his count. At the count of three, Paige breaks the hold and exits out to the apron. She grabs Nikki's head and without warning, begins driving her knee into her skull continuously. Knee after knee after knee, all being driven into her skull with such force. Nikki tries to cover up but can't seem to cushion the blows. The ref begins his count again, this time, reaching four before Paige's assault ceases.
[Layla] Okay maybe you should calm down at little, Paige.
[Michael Cole] Oh so now she should calm down?
[Layla] I just don't want her to risk getting disqualified, especially in a match like this where she could get that much closer to a shot at the Divas Championship.
She falls back into the ring, almost lifeless as the ref begins checking on her. Paige stands on the apron, almost with a smirk on her face, content with the damage she has seemingly caused to half of the Bella Twins. However, she seems to have forgotten that where one Bella is, the other is not far behind, and in this case, Brie has already recovered and taken a hold of Paige's leg, pulling it downwards, causing Paige to fall to the outside, smashing her face onto the apron. She holds her face on the outside before being tossed into the ring by Brie, as the ref looks to the outside, suspicious of Brie's involvement in the match but has no proof of such actions and is forced to return his attention to the match.
[Layla] How is he so oblivious to this? Paige didn't yank herself off the apron, so clearly Brie did it! I've had enough of those two, they get away with everything.
[JR] Sounds like you're growing more tired of them by the minute.
[Layla] I'm trying to maintain my composure, but it's hard to when Brie won't stop getting involved. I've stayed over here the entire time, but I swear....if she does just one more thing!
Both women make it back to their feet at the same time, as Nikki lands a swift slap across Paige's face, causing Paige to retaliate by dropping Nikki down to the mat with a tackle. The ref knows where this is headed and pulls Paige off of Nikki again. Brie is heard barking orders at Nikki, causing Nikki to nod as she begins rolling towards Brie's side of the ring.
[King] Uh-oh, Twin Magic!
[Layla] Oh hell no, not if I have anything to do with it!
Layla see's what's happening and removes her headset and makes a beeline towards the Bellas in an attempt to stop Twin Magic.
[Michael Cole] Hey get back here!
She grabs Brie before they could complete the maneuver and pushes her aside, causing Nikki to shout, “This doesn't concern you, Grandma!” Before Layla could respond, Brie grabs Layla and throws her into the barricade, causing the ref to eject Brie from the match.
[JR] Bah gawd, Layla's had enough of Brie's behavior this match, and she just found out the hard way.
[King] Layla tried to stay out of this but I can't blame her one bit there.
Nikki begins shouting at the ref, “What do you think you're doing!?” but the decision is final and Brie is forced to the back, but not without a small going away gift in the shape of getting thrown into the steps, courtesy of Layla. The crowd cheers at Layla's actions but those cheers quickly turn to boos as now it is Layla's turn to be ejected from the ringside area.
[Michael Cole] Ha! Servers her right, maybe now order will finally be restored to this match.
Paige gets all up in the refs face, shouting at him, in which the ref responds by holding the small emblem on his shirt and showing it to Paige. It's clear that what the ref decides is final and Layla is forced to leave the ringside area. Just as she's walking up the ramp, mouthing, “I'm sorry,” to Paige, a familiar theme begins to play.
Alicia Fox walks out from behind the curtain as Layla turns around, with a confused look on her face, and Paige looks towards the stage, equally confused as Layla. Brie makes it back to her feet and the Bellas share a glance with one another before a smirk appears on their faces, as they know that the odds are in their favor once again. Fox sarcastically waves at Layla before blowing a kiss in her direction and trotting her way down the entrance ramp.
Layla and Brie have no choice and leave the ringside area before making their way to the back. Layla is the first to disappear from sight as she was already halfway up the ramp, followed shortly after by Brie, while Fox takes over Layla's position at the announcers table.
[Alicia Fox] Now that that train wreck is over, let's get to some class A for Alicia commentary, shall we boys?
[Michael Cole] That is so clever of you Alicia!
[Alicia Fox] Aw, thank you Michael!
Paige is heard shouting, “What are you doing here, Fox!?” to which Fox replies with a smirk and a half hearted wave. Nikki tries to take advantage of the situation by rolling up Paige, but she sees it coming and holds on to the top rope, causing Nikki to roll backwards, giving Paige the perfect chance to hit a back kick to Nikki's abdomen. Nikki's doubled over from the strike, allowing Paige to take a handful of Nikki's hair, looking over to Fox for a second, almost as if to tell her this is what she has to look forward to in her future, before forcefully throwing her halfway across the ring by her hair.
[JR] Paige, obviously not very pleased to see you here tonight, Miss Fox.
[Alicia Fox] How "pleased" do you think I am to have to watch her stumble around in the ring like a wounded animal?
[King] A wounded animal? Paige has got to be one of our top divas here in XWL! Just look at her go!
[Alicia Fox] I wish she would.
[King] Wish she would what, Alicia?
[Alicia Fox] Go.
She walks over to Nikki and lifts her back up, taking another handful of hair, looking at Fox once again, before throwing her back across the ring. Fox sarcastically claps at Paige's strength, causing Paige to become seemingly more infuriated. She grabs Nikki's head and exits out to the apron, dragging Nikki halfway out of the ring through the middle rope. Paige looks at Fox before attempting to drive her knee into Nikki's skull once more, this time however, Nikki sees it coming and avoids contact with Paige's knee. Instead, she pulls her left leg into the ring before kicking Paige's right leg out from under her, causing Paige's left leg to be tangled in between the middle and bottom rope, forcing her to hang vulnerably outside the ring. Paige lets out a yell, clearly in pain as Fox can't help but to laugh at Paige's misfortune, while Nikki begins unloaded kicks to Paige's exposed leg.
[JR] Good God King! She's mangled her legs like wet noodles!
[King] She's gonna pull something out of place in a minute! Get her out of there ref!
[Michael Cole] Can you believe this Alicia? Pathetic!
[Alicia Fox] That's the understatement of the century. Paige is beyond pathetic, she's an embarrassment to whatever it is she calls herself. The "Anti-Diva?" Yeah, whatever. Then why don't you go wrestle on an "anti-diva" roster, where people may actually stand a chance of liking you.
The ref pulls Nikki back off of Paige, giving her a moment to catch her breath. Paige's left hand hooks the bottom rope and uses it to lift herself up onto the apron before untangling her leg from the predicament that she's in. She lays on the apron, letting out a sigh of relieve but there's no rest for the weary as Nikki runs towards the unknowing Paige, hitting a baseball slide and knocking her out to the thinly padded mat on the outside, landing on it with a thud.
[Alicia Fox] That doesn't sound healthy.
[JR] As mind-baffling as it seems, Paige has made it back from worse.
[King] Like that table you put her through last night, Alicia!
[Michael Cole] And might I add how genius that was, you completely stole the show!
[JR] Speaking of which, why did you choose to return in such a vicious way Miss Fox? We haven't seen or heard a thing from you in months, and the next thing we know you're smashing bodies through tables!
[King] It was a gruesome comeback Alicia, why did you do it?
[Alicia Fox] Why did I do it? You can't be telling me that you seriously believe that Layla and Paige have had a change of heart, do you? It's amazing how quickly everyone in this business seems to forget about things. Well I for one, along with the Bellas, 100% remember all of the things that both of those muskrats have done to us in the past. And I know for a fact we intend on paying them back for each and every little favor. Interest included.
[Michael Cole] You tell 'em Alicia! Teach those two a lesson about respect!
[King] Would you shut up for a minute Cole?
[JR] Very well, why did you decide to attack Paige from behind after her tag match at Digital Decision?
[Alicia Fox] Would you rather me attack in the middle of it, and give that tangerine Layla a shot at me? I don't think so, J.R. I'm much smarter than that.
Nikki Bella lets out a scream, mocking Paige, but much more high pitched as the fans boo her. She walks over to the top rope and leans over it, looking down at her opponent and she just can't help but smile at how much of an advantage she has over her right now. Nikki drops down and rolls out of the ring, walking slowly to Paige's direction. She drags her up by the hair and starts to direct her over to the announcer's table, where her one of her bitter rivals, Alicia Fox, happens to be sitting. One half of the Bella Twins lifts The Anti-Diva's head up and slams it right down onto the announcer's table. She repeats this about 5 times before releasing her grip, in which Paige drops to the ground. As the referee gets to the 7 count, Nikki rolls back into the ring but she tells the referee "I'm not done here yet" before exiting the ring. Alicia begins clapping for Nikki from her seat at the commentator's desk.
[Alicia Fox] Which one is that?
[JR] Nikki Bella, as is scheduled for this match-up you decided to join.
[Alicia Fox] .. Right. Woo, Go Nikki!
Fox became louder as she cheered for the more compatible of the competitors as Nikki smiled back, appreciative of the support of at least one person in the arena.There's not much the referee can do as this is a very important match, surely no one would want to win by count-out or disqualification. Nikki lifts Paige up and shouts at her "It's time you get a taste of your own medicine!". With all her might, she throws Paige, shoulder first, into the steel steps, in which a loud thud is heard from the impact. You can tell that Nikki has not forgotten about her elimination at the Digital Decision PPV and only wants to give Paige a taste of her own medicine. Nikki walks over to the fallen Paige and grabs her by the head, talking loudly in her ear "So how does it feel, Paige? Tell me." before pushing it with force right back into the padding. Nikki picks up Paige slowly by the hair and struggles to push Paige back into the ring with all her dead weight. After a few more attempts with more power each time, Nikki is able to push Paige into the center of the ring. Instead of pinning her the traditional way, she makes sure Paige's shoulders are on the mat and Nikki places her boot right on the face of Paige, instructing the referee to start the count. . .
1!
2!
3!NO
Paige kicks out at the last minute and she stays alive. Nikki's facial expression tells it all, she can't believe Paige kicked out but she's definitely not going to let that stop her. She pulls Paige by the arm over to the turnbuckle corner. She pushes her up into the standing position, Paige now stands seemingly lifeless at the turnbuckle. Nikki goes to the turnbuckle adjacent and in just a matter of seconds, she starts charging at Paige. Nikki runs, jumps up, shouts "Bella baby!" before attempting a monkey flip. She successfully performs it but what she doesn't know is that somehow, someway, Paige is able to flip and land on her feet. As Nikki taunts to the fans with her arms open, she suddenly turns around to a clothesline by Paige. She follows it up with another one and as Nikki gets up the second time, she kicks her in the gut followed by a huge DDT to the mat. Paige rises up and is fired up as ever as she looks over at Alicia Fox with disgust. Alicia's expression shows not a fraction more of satisfaction with what she sees, either.
[JR] And here she comes! The Anti-Diva is back on the offensive!
[Alicia Fox] The only thing offensive about that is her god-awful ring gear. Somebody, please fire her stylist.
[King] All of this action and all you can think of is her gear?
[Alicia Fox] Well given her lack of in-ring ability, it was really her last hope to reach some kind of personality about herself. Shame she couldn't even pull that off.
Paige grabs Nikki up by the head with a headlock and now has Nikki in the center of a ring. She lifts Nikki up onto her and it looks like she's about to go for the RamPaige. The Anti-Diva takes a brief look at Alicia Fox who looks like she's ready to get up any moment but it is this hesistation that allows Nikki to somehow roll through and get Paige into a roll-up. The referee slides down to the ground and goes to count the cover. . .
1!
2!
Kickout by Paige, she's not down and out yet. Both ladies get back to their feet at the same time and Nikki goes running at Paige with a jumping crossbody but Paige catches her, falling back a bit from all that force. Nikki shakes her head no but Paige is saying yes, she's got her in the perfect position. She turns around and hits a fallaway slam on Nikki, who clenches her teeth right after the impact. Paige walks over to Nikki and hooks the leg, trying to get the cover. . .
1!
2!
Thr. . .
NO! Nikki Bella isn't staying down for the count. Paige looks on with disbelief but she should expect more from The Bellas by now. She picks Nikki Bella by the hair, Paige knows she has what it takes to put Nikki Bella down. Paige gets in back of Nikki Bella and hooks Nikki's arm over her neck while grabbing one of Nikki's leg. Once again, Paige looks on at Fox instead of focusing on Nikki and Nikki uses her free leg to kick Paige right in the gut, halting whatever she had planned. Nikki unhooks her arm and this time she places it under the chin of Paige. She jumps up and performs a jumping snapmare, flipping Paige over and right onto the mat and now Nikki is once again in control.
[JR] And Nikki Bella, back in control in what seems to be a brutal test of strength for these two ladies.
[Alicia Fox] People always say that the Bella Twins need each other to succeed, but look at Nikki here, dominating the entire match all by herself. Meanwhile there's Paige, who can't even get a shot in without her dumb-as-nails partner Layla to coach her through it.
Nikki lands a few stomps on the fallen Anti-Diva before shouting out, “That one's for you, Fox!” causing Fox to clap from the announcers table, clearly content that she's seeing the slow dissection of Paige right before her very eyes. Nikki extends her arms once more, taunting both Paige and the live audience in attendance, before turning around and attempting to land one more stomp, for good measure. But unfortunately for her, Paige has trapped her foot in her grip as she looks up from the mat, locking her hatred filled eyes with Nikki. Paige makes it back to her feet, with Nikki's leg still in her clutches, causing the Bella to hop around to prevent herself from falling as she's pulled around the ring.
[Michael Cole] So Alicia, tell us about what you plan to do now that you've returned, and have rightfully claimed your spot in the Queen of the Ring tournament?
[Alicia Fox] That depends, are we talking before or after I win the Divas Championship?
[JR] That's quite the bold statement coming from someone who just recently returned to XWL.
[Alicia Fox] Excuse me? Would you prefer it if I took the less "bold" path of wearing stupid hats and making barbecue sauce? I don't think so J.R, because I came back to win, not to sit around an announcer's table and chat with a bunch of middle-aged men about how their ex-wives mistreated them.
[Michael Cole] That's right, you tell him Foxy!
[King] She's talking about you too, you idiot.
Now in the center of the ring, Paige forces Nikki to stumble forward by pulling her leg and landing a stiff short arm clothesline. Nikki hits the canvas with a thud but is quickly lifted back up to her feet by her arm, only to fall back down with another clothesline. Paige lets out her signature yell, signaling that it's time to end this match. Nikki makes it back to her feet as Paige targets Nikki's abdomen with a gut kick but it's caught in mid flight. Nikki lets out a laugh as it seems she's thwarted what Paige had in mind, but only leaves herself open to be shoved by Paige's leg strength. She bounces off the ropes and runs back at Paige, who drops her with a huge side kick.
[Alicia Fox] Oh my god, would you give it up already! Nobody likes you!
[Michael Cole] Except for that ditsy partner of hers, Layla.
[Alicia Fox] And if we know Layla at all, it's probably just an act to begin with. Poorly executed, might I add.
The live audience in attendance begins to cheer that Paige once again has the upper hand in this contest. Alicia looks behind her at the cheering fans and yells "Shut up!" A couple of fan surrounding fans boo her as she swivels back around in her seat. Instead of going for a pin fall after that potential match ending maneuver, Paige grabs a hold of both of Nikki's legs and drags her lifeless body towards the center of the ring. She looks at Fox one more time before she wraps Nikki's legs together and flips her over to her stomach, locking in her signature cloverleaf, putting a knee on Nikki's lower back. Nikki scrambles to escape this excruciating hold but it doesn't seem there's a way out and the ropes are far out of her reach.
[JR] The cloverleaf submission hold has been locked in!
[King] It won't be long now, Nikki will have to tap out!
[Michael Cole] Come on Nikki!
[Alicia Fox] Oh, I don't think so.
Just when it seemed like Nikki would once again fall to defeat, courtesy of Paige, for the second night in a row, Paige releases her grip and walks towards the ropes closest to the announcers table, where Fox has removed her headset and has seemingly begun to make her way towards the ring. Fox and Paige exchange a few less than friendly words with one another, giving Nikki the perfect opportunity to recover and makes it back to her feet, landing a double axe handle on Paige's back, sending her to her knees. Nikki drives Paige's neck into the middle rope, choking the life out of her, before the ref interjects himself and pulls Nikki off of Paige.
This gives Fox the perfect chance to climb up onto the apron, looking into the ring to make sure the ref is still distracted, before nearly knocking Paige's head off of her shoulders with a Scissors Kick on the apron. Paige springs off the ropes and falls back into the ring as Fox hops off the apron and takes a few steps back, admiring her handiwork. Nikki witnessed the whole thing as a smirk comes across her face before she goes for the cover.
[King] What! Did you just see what I saw JR?!
[JR] Indeed I did King! Alicia landing a vicious Scissor Kick on the back of Paige's head, right off the ring apron! And it appears Nikki is looking to capitalize! 1...
[King] Come on Paige!
2...
[JR] I think this is goodnight for the Anti-Diva, King.
[King] Well can I tuck her in first?
3!
[Michael Cole] Nikki's done it! Nikki's done it! She defeated Paige! And without her sister Brie even at ringside!
[JR] But you seem to forget one very important factor in Alicia Fox, Michael. She definitely proved about her tonight ladies and gentlemen. Although Paige may have gotten the upper hand on Miss Fox earlier tonight, it was Alicia who had the last laugh in this one.
[Michael Cole] Who could forget about Alicia Fox! What a powerful impact, and a flawless delivery on the part of Foxy.
[King] I still can't forget about the way Paige's neck was forced down onto that rope, that had to hurt! Do you think I should go see if she's okay?
[JR] It appears the answer to that question is obvious King.
The theme of the Bella Twins begins to play throughout the arena as Nikki advances in the Queen of the Ring tournament, with a small assist from Fox, and avenges her loss to Paige just twenty four hours ago at Digital Decision. Fox is shown wiping her hands outside as Paige is still seemingly out of it in the center of the ring, while Nikki is getting her arm raised as the victor. Redemption fades to a commercial break as Fox is shown staring at Paige with a smirk on her face.

XWL's Redemption returns from the commercial break and we head to a graphic that pops on the screen saying TOUT, staying on the screen for about 5 seconds.
After the graphic disappears, we then see Nikki and Brie Bella, The Bella Twins, who have made a TOUT video. . .
[Nikki Bella]: Poor Paige! Couldn't get the job done without Layla and weapons, typical. You were just one irrelevant bitch in my way to becoming Diva's Champion.
[Brie Bella]: You think taking me out of the equation was going to help you? Nikki doesn't need me to win.
[Nikki Bella]: And that's why I'm still in the Queen of the Ring tournament while you're still trying to get the best of Fox.
[Brie Bella]:We might as well say it now, here is your winner. . .
[Nikki Bella]: And new Diva's Champion. . .
[Brie andNikkiBella]: Nikki Bella!
The Bellas both put up the loser sign to the camera and begin to start laughing as the screen fades to the next segment.

*The fans pop as the former number one contender makes his way back out to the ring rather gingerly. He gets into the ring and is reached a mic.
Kofi Kingston Tonight I gained a little back of the momentum I lost at Digital Decision, I beat a tough challenge in Evan Bourne earlier but that win doesn't change one big thing I failed to do and obviously that was beat Alex Shelley for the United States Championship. We both gave it our all, pulled out all the stops, and did not hold back and yet, it wasn't enough. He wanted it just a bit more and came out on top. Now that raises one big question for me and before I let you in on that I want to apologize to all you fans. I told you all that I'd reward your faith and become champion but I failed and that is on me. You all did your part getting me into the position to succeed and I missed it by a finger tip, and that's that. But that brings up the topic of the big question, the one I mentioned moments ago.
*Kofi pauses for a moment, lowering the mic as the crowd cheers him getting excited.
Kofi Kingston That is what's next for Kofi Kingston? What is in my more immediate future? And with my loss at Digital Decision and the fact that King of the Ring is filled out I don't have a true, solidifying answer. There is of course the end game of being the World Champion but that has no immediacy behind it. The only route I have laid out is to get back to the grind and work my way to another shot at either Shelley or a fresh challenge against Morrison. Hopefully with your continued support and my efforts like tonight against Bourne I can rise to the top again and next time I truly will break every bone in my body before surrendering and laying down for another loss. I work too hard to accept anything less than victory and at some point I will kick right through that glass ceiling and climb up to the next level before hopping on the next ladder to the top. I want to congratulate Shelley because sooner rather than later he'll be known as the man that inspired the next great wrestler, the next great champion.
Kofi Kingston I have already told you guys what I want for my career and I completely intend on keeping to that. I want to be the next ''man'', to be the measuring stick of the company's talent. Someone who you look back on and say to your kids ''Damn, I got to watch Kofi Kingston wrestle.'' That is my hope, that is the career I want, whether that means a World or United States or Intercontinental title is how I get there remains to be seen but I know that nothing is more important to me then these fans, and I do this for them so no matter what happens I'll be happy with what I've accomplished if these people are. I've taken on and defeated everyone I've faced since returning except the one obvious exception and its been a great start to the next stage of my career, I will step up my game and kick it to another gear because I have to if I plan on continuing to stay with the competition that's getting better and better every week. I train harder, and scout better that's what I need to do to beat the next wave of challenges I'll be facing. My run in XWL is just getting started and you're gonna love what you see.
*Kofi sets the mic down and his music hits as he steps through the ropes and hops to the floor. The crowd cheers now knowing Kofi's confidence hasn't wavered. He walks up the ramp and through the curtain into the back
A short, crappy Kofi promo to show I'm still alive. Its hard to be excited about promoting on a tablet but that's all I got for two more weeks. Btw don't have Skype so hit me up via pm on the site or msn.

Just because it's short doesn't mean it's crappy (that's what she said) I mean this was a really good promo considering you don't have a feud yet. You'll get back to the top soon Mr. Semen <3

The cameras cut backstage where Don West and Amazing are seen walking backstage and talking to each other when they are approached by an interviewer.
Don West Ah man, are you really about to ruin our great mood with your silly questions?
Interviewer Great mood? Earlier tonight we saw Amazing Red lose to Austin Aries in the opening round of the King of the Ring Tournament, most men in his position would be upset...
Amazing Red iEse partido no prueba nada!
Don West Let me stop you right there, pal, cause I already don't like the path you're heading down so let me help back you up a bit: most men aren't Amazing Red and that's what makes this guy so special. After that match Red took me aside and he said, "Don, is this it? Will I ever get a chance like that again?" And I said, "Are you kidding me? This is only the beginning for you, buddy, because you don't need King of the Ring to get to the top. All you need is the natural God-given talent that you have and there's not a damn person that can hold you back and stop you from reaching the top of the mountain.
Amazing Red Ustedes no han visto lo último de mí.
Don West Just look at the last couple of goof-balls that fought their way to the tournament to call themselves "kings." Evan Bourne was a flash in the pan, a one-hit wonder who crumbled when the pressure became too much for him to handle and he hasn't been the same since. Hell, let's not forget that is was just a few weeks ago that Red and Bourne were in the same ring and after that match Red couldn't hold back his laughter at the thought of this guy being one called one of the best.
Amazing Red Los mejores hombres de la compañía son los hombres que se encuentran en el Ejército de West Side.
Don West Then there's CM Punk who had a World Title reign so forgettable he was better off not winning the belt in the first place! Even Paul Heyman realizes that Punk is all hype nowadays and that's why he ran to take that Curtis Axel fellow under his wing to save his reputation as a manager!
Amazing Red Don West es el único administrador vale nada en XWL.
Don West And don't even get me started on the fluke that was Seth Rollins, I can't even say his name without suffering from a fit of the giggles. Do you see what I'm getting at now? King of the Ring isn't the magical career launching pad that XWL would like for you to believe it is. It's just a place for chumps to gather and finally achieve something that their parents can be proud of. Let me be the first to break it to you Aries, what happened tonight was an anomaly and you're one of the lucky few to get Red off his game like that, but on behalf of Red I'd also like to thank you from eliminating him from the tournament because in the long run he'll be better off because of it.
Amazing Red Gracias, Aries. Gracias por sacrificar su carrera para mantener la mina viva usted.
Don West A crown is not a championship, Aries, and I sure do hope you go on to win the whole thing just so you can be just another winner to fall off into obscurity. I promised the world that Amazing Red would be a world champion in this company and those plans haven't changed. I can promise you that he'll win that belt before you, Aries, or he'll be the one to beat you for it, it's just that simple.. at least is is when The West Side Army is involved.
Amazing Red Este ejército es la fuerza más dominante que nunca vienen a XWL. Somos más grandes que el escudo, que somos más grandes que la resistencia, no hay ningún grupo en la historia que se pueda comparar.
Don West We could have sent a message at your expense, Aries, but not only did we not want the Shield's scraps, but we also didn't want our name in your mouth in the likely chance that you choke and your win against Red becomes as meaningless as your career has been up to this point. Instead, we settled an old score with an old friend of ours in Joey Mercury. I hope they replay this for you in whatever hospital you're shacked up in, Joey-boy because I want you to make something clear: The West Side Army never forgets, it may have looked like that laughable challenge you threw out weeks ago slipped our mind, but we just had better things to do. Luckily, Corey Graves was gracious enough to share the moment of ending your career with Red and that has only made the bond between those two even stronger.
Amazing Red Corey nunca llegó con un tiro justo antes, pero las cosas van a ser diferentes para él en esta ocasión.
Don West We can talk until the cows come home about how Corey is destined to do great things in this company, but I think his actions tonight spoke louder than any words that I scream out ever could. He's not here to mess around, he's not here to make friends with people who don't have his best interests at heart, he's just gonna arrive, crack some skulls, and then go about his business. What people don't seem to understand about The West Side Army is that we don't need to be attached at the hip, we just need to have each other's backs when it counts. Corey and Ryback may not be directly involved in the conflict Red is currently having with Shawn Michaels and Antonio Cesaro, but you better believe that if Red calls for help those two will be there in a heartbeat to turn the tides of the battle.
Amazing Red No es que yo necesito ninguna ayuda cuidando de que ha sido y que nunca lo fue.
Don West The driving force that keeps The West Side Army pushing forward is Don West and as long as I'm around to lead the troops then we can't go wrong. People are slowly starting to realize that you're better off with us than against us and it's no surprise that yet another person as expressed interest in joining our ranks. That person may make a huge impact like Corey or a subtle one like Ryback did, this army doesn't follow set mold for the way we operate, but the one thing that'll remain constant is that that person's career will never be the same.
Amazing Red Estar al lado de Don West es un honor y un privilegio.
Don West Amazing Red may have come up short tonight, but he's still a winner in my book. He may have lost, but he's still one of the best things going for XWL right now. The cream always rises to the top and the legends always find away to overcome the odds and make luck irrelevant. This was a minor misstep, but this guy right here will turn things around by embarrassing Michaels and Cesaro and go down as one of the greatest of all time. Why? 'Cause he's Amazing Freakin' Red. Hope that answered your question, we always aim to please.
West pats the interviewer on the back, then he places he places his arms around Red's shoulders and the two men walk down the hall as the screen fades to black.

*The crowd boo's as Maria struts through the curtain, mic in hand, with a grin on her face.
Jim Ross Maria seems a lot happier than last we saw her, presumably because of her inclusion in the Queen of the Ring tournament.
King Wouldn't you be happy? Getting a shot at winning this prestigious tournament and taking on the champion!
Cole That is probably why but what about her protest? Wasn't she refusing to compete for the greater good?
*The camera pans to the ring where Maria is seen front and center.
Maria I bet you pigs are wondering why I am gracing you with my ''mouth dropping'' appearance this evening. The reason I am out here tonight is to say due to some solid ''convincing'' by Vickie and Hulk I will be returning to the ring sooner than I intended due to the honor bestowed upon me to compete in the Queen of the Ring tournament. This is my opportunity at showing how women can be just as vicious, maniacal, backstabbing, talented, and any other adjective you can think of as the big, bad men on the roster. You all pay to see the men fight and the girls roll around but what you don't understand is the quality of wrestling your seeing, even with her attempts at pandering to you, Kaitlyn still put on one he'll of a fight against MsChif who needs to be congratulated on her victory. We divas are some of the best wrestling this company offers and it needs to be emphasized and there's only two places to truly do it.....Final Stand and Queen of the Ring.
*The crowd hasn't quit booing Maria who is able to talk over the subtle, low roar the boo's in unison make.
Maria I pray that some of the best matches we will see not on PPV will be seen over these next few weeks leading to the finale to see who is going to challenge the champion and put on another one of XWL's sorely under appreciated classic matches for the greatest title ANYONE could hope to compete for. Whether it's me or not I have an under lying agenda in all of this, with a couple of objectives and both are in motion and sooner rather than later the beer swinging, eye humping, sad to look at part of this audience will realize that us divas have more balls than they ever wish they could have.
Maria At Supremacy, I hope things begin to heat up in several ways around the diva's division, all of those things leading to the best possible result for this company and that's a division of XWL that is fully respected by it's viewing audience and not just the female viewers. I am the martyr for this cause and although I may be spurned by the male fraction of the audience it is for the best and it is the doing what is right. I'm fighting a battle that should be long outdated and thought of as archaic and I plan to go all the way with it. I have not and will not show hesitation or fear in the face of this evil, that you people are polluting the world with, polluting your own children with! I ask that you please put aside your savage, sex driven ways and appreciate the art that these women display week in and week out, to truly take in the talent you see before you when you tune in at home or buy a ticket to see it live.......I would try and make a plea such as that to you but it won't be heard.
*Maria sighs before continuing.
Maria Ditzy, dumb, and hot are what you people see us as, intentionally blinding yourselves from what happens in the ring and what is truly masterful. So I refuse to plea and beg and will rather force you to appreciate it by vomiting the same speech at you, regurgitating my words week in and week out till something clicks insides your dense, neanderthal skulls and by putting on the best damn performance I can. I will preach every week if that's what it takes to get you to grasp the concepts I'm trying to get you to understand and mature yourself with. I'll leave with a small hope that you ''fans'' or even just one of you head my words and embrace the grace and ferocity of us divas. Until next time.
*Maria drops the mic causing a loud thud followed by a screech causing the audience to groan and then boo even louder at the XWL diva, who grins as she slips through to the back.

*Redemption returns and the camera pans over the live audience for a few seconds before the arena is plunged into darkness.*
*Numerous lights appear at the top of the ramp in the silhouette of a man with his arms outstretched, signifying the arrival of Chris Jericho. Boos rain down from the fans as Jericho spins around. Pyro explodes around him as his music begins to play.*
[Jim Ross] Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to be joined by the former World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho, who made his return last night at Digital Decision after a one month absence since losing the World title.
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] And Jericho is quick to remind everyone that he never actually lost that match. He wasn't involved in the decision and in his view that title still belongs to him. Dolph Ziggler pinned Dean Ambrose to become World Champion, and that fact has eaten away at Jericho during his time away.
[Michael Cole] So much so, that people believe Jericho has reverted back to his old ways, after what happened last night between him and The Rock. We saw a side to Jericho which hasn't been seen in months. I can't be the only one glad to see Jericho's ruthlessness return?
[Jim Ross] It was a nice change of pace to see Jericho appreciate these fans once again, but after last night I don't think he'll be in an appreciative mood, especially with the reaction he's getting here tonight. But whatever Jericho's attitude, you can't deny his raw talent and ability.
*As Jericho reaches the bottom of the ramp, he looks into the masses of the XWL Universe and shakes his head as they continue to boo the hell out of him. Jericho continues up the ring steps and enters the ring. The boos seem to intensify and increase in volume as he reaches the center of the ring.*
*Jericho looks from left to right at the thousands of hatred-filled faces before him, each angrily voicing their opinions of the man who brutally attacked one of their favourites just one night prior. Jericho is unfazed by the all of their hate and instead raises his mic upwards to speak.*
[Chris Jericho] Did you all forget about me? Did you all forget about Chris Jericho? The same man who for the past few months was your hero... the highlight of your night and the greatest entertainer on this show? The same man that every last one of you have drained and withered away like the parasites that you are. If it wasn't for you hypocrites, I would still be standing here as the World Heavyweight Champion. It's because of you people that I changed from being the best in the world to being just another champion... a champion who ended up losing his title just like all of those before him. It's because of you people, that the World Heavyweight Championship has sunk to new lows and will be tarnished for eternity by the likes of Dolph Ziggler, who will forever be remembered as having one of the biggest letdowns of a title reigns in history...and it's because of you people that right now Cody Rhodes - who should be nowhere near the title let alone holding it - is the face of this company.
*A very loud "You suck!" chant rises up from the audience. Jericho absorbs it for a few seconds before continuing.*
[Chris Jericho] You can boo me and you can jeer me all you want to, because you know that deep down that what I am saying is the truth. I said way back in January that this year was the Year Of Y2J and I went on to prove that statement as fact, with victory after victory, title defense after title defense... until you gelatinous tapeworms decided to sink your poisonous claws into me. You seduced me with your cheers and you forced my gaze and my attention away from being the greatest champion of all time into nothing more than a generic, common entertainer. I was nothing more than a clown for your pathetic enjoyment... making jokes and bringing smiles to all of your faces and pretending to actually like whatever god-forsaken rundown, disgusting town or city we were in each night. But no more.
[Chris Jericho] I have seen the error of my ways and I am no longer blind to the decay that you people bring to talented entities like me. I took a month off to come back better than I have ever been and right now you are looking at a more focused Chris Jericho than ever before. If I was the best in the world before, right now I am in the mindframe to be the very best EVER. I WILL regain my World Heavyweight Championship and 2013 will STILL be the Year Of Y2J. I have made myself a promise and a vow that I will not stop until I have regained my title and restored it to it's former glory. But right now, it's out of my reach. Once again, I'm a victim of a conspiracy by XWL management because my rematch clause has been overlooked and overshadowed by this meaningless King Of The Ring tournament full of nobodies that don't even deserve to stand in the same ring as someone like me. It's yet another slap in my face that I'm not even considered for a spot in the tournament, let alone awarded my rightful rematch yet Dolph Ziggler is handed his gift-wrapped on a silver platter the very second he embarrasses himself in his very first title defense.
[Chris Jericho] I told you Dolph. I told you that you weren't ready to be a top competitor. I bet you were on top of the world the moment you stole my title away from me without even defeating me, but what goes around comes around Dolph. Karma caught up to you. And now Dolph... you will be remembered as one of the worst champions this industry has ever seen... and as the man who plunged the World Heavyweight Championship from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows when you allowed yourself to be beaten by the mustached idiot known as Cody Rhodes.
[Chris Jericho] But Cody Rhodes isn't even worth my breath. It's just a matter of time before he too suffers the same fate as Dolph Ziggler, and in doing so, devaluing MY World Heavyweight Championship even further. It's disheartening and it's a farce the way both myself and my title are being treated, but I will put things right. With every fibre of my being, I will put things back the way they should be... And that brings me to The Rock...
[Chris Jericho] I think it's obvious why I attacked The Rock last night at Digital Decision, but it's clear to me that you people barely share a brain cell between you so let me explain. Over the past couple of weeks, The Rock has been running his mouth about how he should be next to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship. The very same title that he lost over a year ago and has never been anywhere near close to competing for since. Why is that Rock? Take a moment to think about that. Why has it been over a year since you've been anywhere near the level needed to be World Champion? I'll tell you why. These people.
[Chris Jericho] You see Rock, I know how it feels to be a puppet to these people. I know how it feels to have your strings being pulled... having to shamelessly pander to these people at their every beck and call without even realizing you're doing it. But I snapped out of it. That's what you need to do Rock. You need to realize that you're degenerating from one of the greats into a mindless drone unable to think for himself. We've known each other for years now... we haven't always seen eye to eye, but we've always had this mutal respect between us. Last night might have seemed like an attack on you, but the reality is that I was doing you a favour. When I left you battered and bruised in a pool of your own blood, I was giving you the wake up call that you needed. These people can't help you against guys hell-bent on becoming the best... guys like me. You need to stop with the lame jokes, forget about the childish name-calling and all of the ridiculous songs and start focusing on The Rock. From one legend to another Rock I-
*The crowd let out a deafening ovation as the music of The People's Champion booms around the arena, interrupting Jericho in the process.*
[Jim Ross] It looks like business is about to pick up!
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] The crowd are electric! The People's Champ is here!
*Jericho looks pissed off to say the least as Rock strolls down the ramp microphone in hand...*
[Michael Cole] The Rock doesn't look too happy.
*The Rock then wanders down the ramp and up the stairs before skipping along the apron and entering the ring, going nose to nose with an irate Chris Jericho who is about to raise his mic when....*
[The Rock] Don't even speak, The Rock will get to you in just one second but first....FINALLY! The Rock! Has come back....To Jack-son-ville-ah!
[The Rock] Chris Jericho, look in to your black heart for just one moment and ask your self the question of everyone's mind, more importantly, on The Rocks mind! Do you actually think that anybody on gods green earth gives a damn about what you have to say?
[Chris Jericho] Actually Rock I-
[The Rock] IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! The only thing that matters is that you tried to send The Rock a message? Well congratulations, instead of using The Great One at Jabroni mail dot com like everybody else you had to go and attack The Rock like the two bit spineless coward that you are! Your message to The Rock was supposed to read, these people are bad for you and you have to change...But instead it simply read, I want my ass kicked up and down this arena for weeks on end by the Brama Bull! Now that Christopher...That is something that I can gladly do, because the only thing you accomplished at Digital Decision was pissing off the Peoples Champion!
[The Rock] You're right about one thing, these people can't help The Rock against guys hell bent on becoming the best and you wanna know why? Because they helped The Rock BECOME the best! The electricity that Team Bring It pump through The Rocks veins each and every time he steps through that curtain is enough to fuel this two hundred and sixty pound ass whooping machine! And just like the Terminator, just like the Terminator The Rock has come here tonight to take care of a problem caused by a woman, that woman is you Christina and don't you dare say otherwise because a real man would have accepted The Rocks open challenge and gave it their all!
[The Rock] Then you actually have the audacity to come out here and tell The Rock what to do?! You tell The Rock to stop with his childish name calling, what does he say to that? The Rock says shut your mouth you big fat stinking bucket of Mountie Moose Farts! As for The Rock's silly songs, well how's this for a song...Join in if you know how it goes:
[The Rock] O say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there; O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
*The Crowd sing along with The Rock, letting out a huge cheer as Jericho watches on with a foul growl across his face...*
[The Rock] What's the matter Chris? Do you have a problem with The Rocks songs? Okay then, well how about a little joke, this one is The Rocks favourite you're gonna love it! Knock knock.
*Jericho, clearly unimpressed, seethes.*
[Chris Jericho] ....
[The Rock] The Rock said, knock knock.
[Chris Jericho] ....
[The Rock] What's the matter Chris? You seem a little tense, knock knock bitch.
[Chris Jericho] Would you please... shut... the hell... up...! Rock... or should I say... Dwayne... it's clear to me why Hollywood are so interested in you. I'm standing here right now, and I see you playing the part of a confident man, full of swagger and self-belief, almost perfectly. Almost. You see Rock, I can see past all of this smokescreen you're building up with the jokes and the sing-along. I see past the veil of deceit, as you try and talk yourself up to be this major star, but the truth is Rock, you're not anymore. And deep down, you know I speak the truth. You can't measure up to me. You're afraid of being embarrassed by me, so instead you try to divert the attention away from the clear gulf in class between the two of us by trying to make these people laugh, or make them smile. It's about time you faced that reality and started taking steps to bridge the gap between The Rock and Chris Jericho, instead of being the ignorant or clueless puppet that you are. You were one of the best just a few short years ago Rock, but I look across at you in this ring right now and past that cheesy pearly white smile I see nothing more than a sad, broken man, crying out for just even a small taste of the success he once had. I almost feel pity for you, but the competitor within me knows better.
[The Rock] Oh don't you dare pity The Rock, the only thing you should feel right now is like a damn hypocrite! Yeah, The Rock has some fun when he's out here, he likes to sing a few songs but let him refresh your memory a little, when you're not here boring these people to death where are you again? That's right, touring the country with Fozzy and the rest of the muppets producing some hot garbage and selling it on as music! Your damn right The Rock is a confident man full of swagger but you can bet your ass that it's not a part, this isn't a role for The Rock, when he steps between these ropes he's leaving Hollywood behind and coming HOME! Sure, The Rock knows all about roles, he's been everything from a football coach to a police officer and yes, he even had a brief stint as everyone's favourite superhero the Toothfairy!
[The Rock] But you throw these long words up in the air without looking at the facts! FACT: The Rock trailblazed Hollywood! FACT: The Rock won action hero of the year! FACT: The Rock made the path for people like you Chris, oh yeah, The Rock has seen you on those late night shows with a scowl spread across your face looking like you just got a fire poker shoved up your ass, bitching and moaning about how you're the best in the world at everything you do...But that's just it Chris isn't it? You're not! You only held the World Heavyweight Championship when you were a lousy cheat, you can paint it up anyway you want it but the only times in your career you were successful is when you disregarded the rules...The second you went on the straight and narrow you lost fair and square and that eats you alive doesn't it Chris? That eats away at your very being! So why don't you spare us all the crap about you being determined and go to the back, put on your little sparkly jumpsuit and come waltzing back on down here showing us all Christina's real talents! Put it up truck monkey!
*The crowd burst into fits of laughter as a picture appears on the screen....*
[Chris Jericho] I fail to see what's so amusing about being multi-talented... I am a professional wrestler, an author, a rock star, an actor AND a TV show host. Maybe it's jealousy. Maybe you envy me Rock, because you're just a one-trick pony... you're an actor. You act as part of all these "blockbuster" movies, yet nobody pays to see you. They're there for the hot chicks, the fast cars or the mindless violence. You act like you're a wrestler but you walk around with shiny waistcoats, witty catchphrases and sunglasses like you're some kind of big shot. And you're acting right now like you're not afraid of me. That you're not afraid of Chris Jericho. You're just an actor Rock. You get by, by pretending to be something that you're not. And I see through your act and your façade. You can't stand the fact that I am the best in the world at everything I do, be it inside this ring or out and-
*The Rock throws his hand over Chris Jericho's mic, pushing it down before getting right in his face and speaking into his own as the crowd goes nuts...*
[The Rock] Afraid of you? The only thing scary about Chris Jericho is the fact that you actually think for one single solitary second that you are a patch on The Rock. You are not fit to lace these size fourteens and you certainly aren't fit to stop them going down your throat so fast that every dentist in a five mile radius drops to the floor! The Rock is no one trick pony and he'll prove it when he whoops your roody poo candy ass in five hundred different ways! And you're right, you are multi-talented, you ain't no author! You ain't no rockstar and you sure as hell ain't no actor...Your talents are of a different kind aren't they Chris? You're a talented kiss ass! You're a talented liar! You're a talented mind games artist and you are still, the reigning...defending...champion of hide Hulk Hogans Strudel!
[Chris Jericho] Real funny Rock. Real funny... but you know what else is funny? It's funny how around a decade ago you were arguably the very best there was... and right now, I am the very best that there is. It's funny how the tables have turned Rock. They always say you can't stop true talent and my meteoric rise to the top of this industry is testament to that. Sure, I was the first ever Undisputed Champion in 2001... but I was still young, immature and naive. Even with all those things against me, I managed to defeat both you and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the very same night to forever cement my name in the history books. It was an accomplishment with no equal and I achieved that, despite being nowhere near my prime. It was a precursor of things to come. I felt the jealousy from the locker room, including you, Rock... as I went on to attain accolade after accolade, championship after championship as I became the best in the world. And you're looking at the final product right now Rock. I AM THE BEST IN THE WORLD. I am an older, wiser, more talented Chris Jericho with moves up my sleeve for every single situation. I have no equal inside this ring or on this microphone. So to have you stand there and try and belittle me... to try and slander me or make me out to be some kind of a joke... it's laughable... and it's disrespectful. So I want you to get the hell out of my ring right now before I leave you a bloodied and broken mess just like I did last night at Digital Decision.
[The Rock] That's how you want this to be? The Rock was just messing with you, The Rock's just playing a little game Chris, because if you want to stand here in the middle of the peoples ring and disrespect their champion for one second longer then we're gonna have a big problem on our hands. You see the fact of the matter is this Chris Jericho, The Rock knows exactly how good you are! The Rock knows what you are capable of and The Rock knows everything you've been through! He knows your journey like the back of his hand, he's fought against you in some of the toughest battles of his life and he's fought with you as one of the best team mates he's ever had! The Rock has been right there with you this entire time! Do you remember the very first night you got your big break and you stepped up to the big leagues? Who was it that you chose to interrupt for your big moment? That's right, The Rock! You chose to make your mark against The Rock then because he was the biggest superstar in the company and you wanna talk about how much you've changed well then how come fourteen years later Chris Jericho still makes his mark by going after The Rock?
[The Rock] He'll tell you why, because he's still the best! You're damn right you've beaten The Rock, more times than he can count in more countries than he can remember...But you seem to be forgetting that The Rock has beaten you all the same! Whatever titles you've won? The Rock has won first! Whatever achievements you boast? The Rock boasted first! So if you wanna stand there and....threaten The Great One you best be sure of yourself, all the long words and cheap dollar suits in the world can't hide the fact that you're still reaching to The Rocks level. The Rock didn't come looking for this fight, you came chasing The Rock like a little baby who can't quite get what he wants...Well lets make one thing crystal clear...The Rock is standing right here. Just Bring It....Bitch.
[Chris Jericho] You want me to bring it Rock? If I wanted to, I could bring it, and so much more. But the fact of the matter is that you just aren't worth my time. You're right, I made my mark at your expense last night, but only because you were somehow seen as a more viable contender to the World Heavyweight Championship than I was. I said earlier I was trying to help you see the light. That I was trying to show you the error of your ways when it comes to these people... these parasites. But that's only part of the reason Rock. The main reason is the difference between our two current situations. While I was away I watched as management gushed over you every single week and it was clear to me you were on the path to my title with all the talk about being champion and I had to put a stop to it. As for me? Somehow despite having a rematch clause and despite not being defeated this entire year, I'm cast aside into the shadows and forgotten like yesterday's news. I won't allow that to happen. I take a month away and everything in this company just falls apart and logic gets thrown out of the window. But I'm going to change all that by regaining my World Heavyweight Championship no matter what it takes and continue making this the Year Of Chris Jericho.
[Chris Jericho] But right now I'm tired of wasting my breath on you Rock. I have a match to prepare for against my old adversary Joey Ryan. What you need to realize is that last night all boils down to you being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I needed someone to make an example of and you were the perfect victim. It could have been any of the other poster boys... Ted Dibiase... John Morrison... Dolph Ziggler... Cody Rhodes... but I saw my opportunity and I took it and you were the casualty. But tonight Rock, it's the exact opposite. You're in the right place at the right time to get exactly what's coming to you and your big mouth.
*Almost as if he had it rehearsed the entire time, Jericho lunges forward with the mic hell bent on taking The Rocks head off but the crowd let out a huge cheer as The Peoples Champion ducks under and nails a huge ROCK BOTTOM!*
[Jim Ross] ROCK BOTTOM! ROCK BOTTOM!
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] What a counter! He saw that cheap shot coming a mile away!
*The Rock bounces back up to his feet as Jericho lies there, clutching his mid section for air, The Rock considers his options, contemplating opening up a can of whoop as on Y2J but instead he simply smirks, fixes his jacket and picks his shades off of the mat before slapping his chest and pointing to the crowd as his music hits once again.*
[Michael Cole] This is one rivalry which fans have been clamoring for for years and after what has occurred in just two nights, I have to say I can't wait to see what happens next between these two.
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] I'd say the scores are even at this point. Both men have one-upped the other on the two occasions they've met face to face. Who knows what will happen if they ever step into the ring together.
[Jim Ross] One things for certain King, that will be a match you won't want to miss!
*As The Rock leaves through the middle rope a mutual thought process fills XWL, tonight wasn't a resolution, this is only just the beginning of something huge that will take both of these men, the fans and the management to their very limits...*
*The screen fades to black for a promotional video of recently returned XWL Diva Trish Stratus.*

As Redemption continues Cactus Jack's theme starts to play through-out the arena as the crowd cheer
When a battered Cactus Jack walks out onto the stage bandages wrapped around his head and arm and crowd cheer again as he starts to make his way to the ring
Jim Ross: There he is folks, Cactus Jack and boy did go through hell last week in that Barbedwire Deathmatch against Kevin Steen.
Michael Cole: You can say that again JR, both Cactus and Steen did everything they could to each other last seek, it was one of the bloodiest, most violent matches that I can remember seeing in a long time, but in the end it was Kevin Steen who ended up with the win.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: I couldn't believe what we witnessed between these two, we expected the worst out of them and they delivered in a big way.
Jim Ross: I'm surprised Cactus is even here tonight after what he went through, Steen hit him with everything he had, and Corino did too, I don't think I'll ever forget what happened in that match.
When Cactus Jack reaches ringside he rolls into the ring underneath the bottom rope then he walks over to the side of the ring and is given a microphone by Justin Roberts then he walks back to the middle of the ring as his theme fades out
Cactus Jack: So I'm guessing that by now you've all heard about what happened last week at Digital Decision between myself and Kevin Steen and if you haven't seen the match yet then you just need to take one look at me to know that it truly wasn't one for the weak of heart. I've got stitches in my arm, stitches in my head, cuts and scrapes all over my body not to mention the burn marks on my front and on my back. But that wasn't what hurt the most, the worst thing of it all is knowing that once again thanks to Steve Corino I came out of last week with another loss against Kevin Steen.
Cactus Jack: But nonetheless what I'd like to do right now is have Kevin Steen come out here, do the right thing and shake my hand.
Cactus Jack: No, no hear me out. Last week Kevin Steen and myself put each other through hell, we put our bodies on the line for the sake of finding out who the better man really is. And for everyone who wasn't a fan of Japanese pro-wrestling in the early 90's or didn't frequent the Bingo Halls of Philadelphia between 1994 and 1996, the sight of Cactus Jack in a ring surrounded with Barbedwire, broken glass and C4 explosives wasn't a rare sight at all and he sights that you saw last week were often a common occurrence and in some cases it was just a precursor to even more sick and twisted actions not only unfit for TV, but they weren't fit to be viewed in any fashion whatsoever.
Cactus Jack: But one thing people need to realise is I did those things and had those things done to me by great men that I respected, but men I'd even dare to call my friends. Now I'm not going to stand here and say that myself and Kevin Steen are now friends or even distant amigos, nor will we ever be, but after last week and after the hell we put each other through I can safely say that he earnt my respect, so I'd like Kevin Steen to come down to the ring and we can settle this like adults.
Kevin Steen entrance music plays and the crowd start to boo before he is even seen. The boos become louder when Kevin Steen and Steve Corino enter through the curtain and on stand on the ramp. Steen looks around and both he and Corino have a smug look on their faces as they slowly make their way down to ringside. Steen and Corino get down to ringside but as they climb the apron, Steen tells Corino to wait here and Corino obliges and waits still with the smug look on his face. Steen enters through the ropes keeping an eye on Cactus Jack. Steen walks straight past Cactus and is handed a mic from the ringside assistant. Steen then turns and starts to walk around the ring until he is nearly face to face with Cactus. He stares at Cactus with a serious look for a second before he flashes his sadistic smile and lifts the mic up.
Kevin Steen: Ladies and Gentlemen, why don't you give it up for Cactus Jack tonight, look at him he has made it here in one piece. Heck how about a hand for me who also managed to make it here in one piece tonight.
The crowd actually start to cheer for both men for what they put their bodies through at Digital Decision.
Kevin Steen: Oh don't get me wrong I couldn't give two shits about any of you fucktards cheering right now I just thought I would see if you would prove yourselves to be the sheep that I expected you to be. You lot fucking boo the hell out of me and chant bullshit at me but then I get in here and you fucking cheer. Well fuck you all. So Cactus, Cactus, Cactus, Cactus, you have came out here to tell all of these that after last nights horrific match that was picked by them that you know have learnt to respect me, you have regrets about the match we put on and you want to shake hands am I right?
Cactus nods his head and actually extends a hand.
Kevin Steen: The thing is Cactus, I think that the last 3 matches in which we beat the living shit out of one another will go down in history as the most violent matches ever seen in XWL, the most hardcore matches, the bloodiest matches and we will be in those history books, we will be on the DVD or blu-ray when they decide to release a "XWL's Most Hardcore Matches" or whatever bullshit name they give it. The thing is Cactus I do not regret a single thing, I don't regret hurting you, I don't regret bashing your head in and possibly causing you another career threatening concsussion. Last night we put each other through hell even more so than the other matches, last night crossed the line of maybe taking it just a little too far which you just said but I don't regret any moment of what we did, of what I took or what I did to you. But after the dust settles we both stand here on Redemption in the middle of this ring, barely able to move or wrestle but we will and you want us to shake hands? Cactus you said that you respect me for going through those matches with you, going through that Japanese style Deathmatch like the ones you did with Terry Funk back in the 90's and well I got to say after going through all of those with you, after going through that brutal deathmatch I...
Steen lowers the mic and the fans actually start to cheer once again for Steen and Cactus. Steen turns to look into the crowd once more with a serious look on his face. He then turns back to look Cactus dead in the eyes and moves his head closer to Cactus so they are nearly nose to nose.
Kevin Steen: I DON'T FUCKING RESPECT YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!
Steen steps back with a big smile on his face as the crowd start to boo and jeer even louder than they were earlier. Steen actually starts to laugh as Cactus lowers his head and starts to shake it. Steen turns and walks towards the ropes to meet his good friend Corino but stops in his tracks and turns around and lifts the mic once more.
Kevin Steen: I never got into this series of matches to ever gain your respect, I never set out to become a friend of yours Cactus, I came out here to hurt you, to destroy you because I fucking hate you, this has always been about revenge and I feel that I got every ounce of revenge that I need. At first I wanted to get rid of you from XWL, I wanted you to pay like I did but I feel after beating you last night for the last time, that is enough for me and its about time I go on to win the King of the Ring and win that goddamn World Championship that I fucking deserve and show you and every fucker else why I am your WORST FUCKING NIGHTMARE!!!
The crowd continue to boo and jeer Steen as he walks away but Cactus looks like he has something to say to all of that.

but thank you!
