*The Pay Per View opens as we see a video package for tonight's blockbuster show. It begins showing ominous scenes of the Elimination Chamber being constructed and the damage it has done in the past. Then it switches to show the turmoils of Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase for the past year as their blood feud comes to a brutal end tonight and lastly it shows multiple clips of Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho between their World Title runs over the past few months. The video package ends with Dolph Ziggler raising his World Championship in the air as the video fades away, we are met by the PPV theme song followed by pyro.*





*The camera pans showing the ecstatic crowd as many people hold up their signs for the camera to see and after a few more seconds it pans to Michael Cole at the announcers desk, on his own?*

[Michael Cole] Hello Ladies and Gents and welcome to Eye for an Eye! Now I know I'm usually accompanied by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler but I haven't seen them and they're not out here, I hope everything's alright but as they say, the show must go on! Now tonight we've got a stacked card starting off with-



*As Michael talks away the camera zooms out to see an unknown man climbing over the barricade with ease as he eagerly pats Michael on the shoulders and takes a seat beside him as Cole is obviously confused.*



[???] How do I put this thing on?



[???] I don't want it to mess with my hair..



[???] Can I get a more comfortable chair? If I'm gonna sit here for 3 hours this thing could atleast recline, I mean after-

[Michael Cole] WHO ARE YOU?!

[???] Oh! They must not have told you about me in the back, I'm Brad Maddox.

*The man flashes a grin as he extends his hand but Michael Cole doesn't shake it.*

[Michael Cole] Okay.. Brad.. Care to explain what you're doing out here? Where the hell are JR and Jerry?



[Brad Maddox] Oh.. Mikey.. This is awkward for you. I thought you would've been told by all of the boys in the back earlier, but Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross are retired now.

[Michael Cole] What?!

[Brad Maddox] Yep.. Yep. It's tragic, I know. See I arrived earlier today for my photoshoot and they heard me talking backstage and they were both just shocked, they came up to me and shook my hand and said I have a wonderful voice and that I should be on commentary. I was flattered of course! I mean Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are pretty good and all.. I thought they were just complimenting me but right then and there they offered me their spot at the table! It all happened so quick Mikey, and here we are. About an hour later they gave in their notice and packed their bags. But right here we're ushering in a new era of Bradditude in XWL! *Brad calls over one of the workers at ringside now.* Could I get an iced tea please? And just a water for Mikey over here, he's trying to watch those lovehandles!



[Michael Cole] Okay.. I don't know what the hell's going on but I have a job to do, what I need to do right now is talk about the Pay Per View so if you'll allow me-

[Brad Maddox] This is Pay Per View?!

[Michael Cole] Yes..

*Brad looks directly at the camera and flashes a smirk as he winks at the camera.*

[Brad Maddox] I see..

[Michael Cole] Okay.. So Brad... Tonight our Main Event is Dolph Ziggler against Chris Jericho, honestly two of the most athletic and charismatic superstars to step foot in the ring in XWL. It's going to be a nail biter but I think-

[Brad Maddox] I agree Mikey, they're both great superstars. Seeing as I trained Chris Jericho it's great to see him headline a show like this, it really makes me proud. I was talking to him earlier and he was obviously very excited for his match but he said to me "Coach, I don't think I have it in me." And you know what I said Mikey? I said "Kid, when I started training you I knew you were gonna be a star, if you could come out of WCW somewhat relevant you can take on the whole damn world. You go out there and show Dolph Ziggler what we're all about!" So I think if Chris wins tonight we can all credit it to myself and my great coaching skills. He's a star alright.

[Michael Cole] What in gods name are you talking about Brad? If that even is your real name! I'm pretty sure you were, what, five?! When Chris Jericho debuted.. Alright, Cody Rhodes vs Ted DiBiase. I Quit Match! One of XWL's most brutal match types will be a part of one of XWL's most brutal feuds. Both of these men have been at eachothers throats for too long, this all started when-



[Brad Maddox] Well said, Mikey. You know, believe it or not I have quite a lot of experience with I Quit matches. I was there at the infamous WWF Pay Per View when The Rock faced Mankind in an I Quit match. Just for the record, Dwayne and I are close and personal friends. *Brad nudges Cole on the arm and whispers "I can call him Dwayne because we're friends."* And on that very night, a nervous Rock came up to me and he said to me "Brad, my man! The real most electrifying man in sports entertainment who I aspire to look like! The Rock wants you to know that he is personally dedicating his match tonight to you. You're like a brother to me." And by god he went out there and hit Mankind with the chair so many times to beat him, and if you look closely at Rock after he wins the title he points to the back and said "This one's for you, Brad."

[Michael Cole] But.. but.. What about Ted vs Cody?



*Brad now starts to smirk and point to fans, winking and blowing kisses to them completely zoning out as Cole shakes his head and continues to talk..*

[Michael Cole] Another match which has become a staple of the Eye for an Eye Pay Per View is the Elimination Chamber. This is the kind of match that is 100% risk, careers have been shortened by years upon years from this hellacious structure. But there's always 6 hungry superstars wanting to grab that brass ring so they step into the devil's playground for that opportunity. It's just a matter of seeing is the risk really worth the reward? Tonight-

[???] Hey, there he is!

*Suddenly the fans turn their attention to the stage as Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross walk through the curtain!! Jerry Lawler has a microphone in hand.*

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] That guy sitting beside Cole is the guy who locked me and JR in our locker rooms, I saw it with my own eyes! Somebody get him out of here, security!!!

*Suddenly security rush through the curtain as Maddox quickly takes off his headset looking as if he's seen a ghost.*



[Michael Cole] You locked two announcing Hall of Famers in their locker room thinking you could just walk in and take their spot?! Are you stupid?!

*Maddox notices the security getting closer as he shouts into his headset microphone.*

[Brad Maddox] HIRE BRAD MADDOX!



*He quickly hops over the barrier as security jump over the barrier chasing him, it shows an overhead camera as Maddox runs for his life from security as he goes out of view. Jerry and JR arrive at the table.*

[Jim Ross] That was something else, I'll tell you that for free.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] You can say that again, let's just get this show on the road...

Announcer
Previously on… The Young and Hairless

The trend of over-the-top soap opera-esque recaps continues for the Pay Per View, a trend that perfectly encapsulates the wild ride this feud has been.  From water gun fights to barbeques to abysmal impersonations, we’ve definitely seen sides of Antonio Cesaro, Shawn Michaels and Amazing Red that we never thought we would, but tonight we’ll be treated to the familiar. Tonight we’ll get to see them wrestle and for two of these superstars this could very well be their last night in XWL.

The recap begins by taking us to a dark bedroom. The camera pans to one side to the next and in the bed there are two lumps under the sheets. The camera zooms in on the face of one of the lumps, illuminated by the moonlight shining through the window, to reveal Shawn Michaels taking a much needed rest, outside of the hospital, after the multiple attempts on his life by the likes of Don West and Antonio Cesaro.

Michaels yawns and rolls over in bed and puts his arm around his slumbering wife when he suddenly screams in shock and in his scramble to hastily get out of the bed he gets tangled in the sheets and falls to the ground. The camera cuts over to the bed to reveal the other lump was nothing but pillows. The light suddenly switches on and Don West takes a step towards Michaels with a mischievous grin on his face.

Don West
Did you have sweet dreams?

Shawn Michaels
What are you doing in my house? And where is my wife?

Don West
Don’t worry about her she’s in a safe place. Consider her being in my possession a little insurance, if you will.

Shawn Michaels
You bastard, you’d go that far to hide the fact Amazing Red isn’t your real son?

Don West
This is just the beginning, you don’t really want to see how far I’d go.

Shawn Michaels
So what did you want? My silence? You got it! Just make sure she comes back to me without a scratch on her.

Don West
You think you’re going to get out of it that easily? Hah, you gotta be kidding me. I’m going to need a little more than your silence, pal.

Shawn Michaels
Name your price.

Don West
Well it’s real simple, I…

The window in Michaels’ bedroom suddenly opens and a surprisingly wig-less Antonio Cesaro steps into the room. He sees HBK on the ground and West on the other side of the room and sighs heavily.

Antonio Cesaro
How did I know I’d find you here, Don?

Don West
Nice to see you too, nice hair cut by the way.

Antonio Cesaro
Wh-what?

Cesaro’s hand shoots on top of his head and his look of confusion is replaced by one of surprise and then of anger as he must be realizing for the first time that his wig is missing and knowing that West is somehow responsible for the disappearance just adds salt to the wound.

Antonio Cesaro
You son of a bitch. I was wondering why it suddenly felt chillier today. How did you do it?

Don West
Don’t ask stupid questions, Cesaro, I’m The Don for a reason, I have my methods and I’d prefer to keep those methods to myself if you don’t mind.

Antonio Cesaro
Where is she, you sick freak? There better not be a single strand out of place or so help me I will end you.

Don West
You’re not in the position to be making such threats, Cesaro, not when I have all the leverage.

Shawn Michaels
You’ll do anything to stay in power won’t you? And you’ll do it at the expense of the happiness of everyone around you.

Don West
Welcome back to the party, Mr. Michaels, I thought we lost you for a second. Now, I know that things have been a little crazy, and trust me, I didn’t take pleasure in doing what I did, but it was a necessary evil to protect my reputation, my organization and my legacy. If people find out that the heir to the largest mafia empire in recorded empire wasn’t a blood relative.. well, that’s a moot point now, isn’t it? Because if you two told anyone the whole world would be talking about it right now, but foryou’re your talk of righteousness, for all your talk about being on the right side of the law and the moral line, you kept the truth to yourself for your own selfish reasons. You thought that having one up over old Don would be the greatest thing to ever happen to you, well let me tell you something: I don’t like it when the power is taken out of my hands so I did what had to be done to rectify the situation. The secret dies with you two, but I’m not completely devoid of a heart and I like to have some fun when I’m playing god with other people’s lives. So here’s what going to happen: Michaels if you want your wife back, and Cesaro if you want your… wife back, you’re going to have to fight each other for that right… and it’ll be a fight to the death!

Shawn Michaels
What is wrong with you?

Antonio Cesaro
So this is what it comes to, huh?

Suddenly the bathroom door bursts open and Amazing Red steps onto the scene. He eyes the other three men in the room, and speaks with the usual British voice actor dubbing over his words

Amazing Red  
I heard every bloody word. And this whole thing is just rubbish. I can’t believe that you, my own pa, would sink so low.

Don West
You know something, Red, if something were to happen, say a tragic accident befalling my only child, that would be like killing three birds with one stone. That way the secret is laid to rest once and for all. So I’d like to make an adjustment to the plan, instead of a plain old one on one, how about we make it a three way dance?

Amazing Red  
And just why would I participate in your game?

Don West
Because I own you. I’ll name the time, date and place. Just make sure you’re all there… or else.

With that said, West turns around to exit the bedroom leaving the other three men befuddled in his wake. Before closing the door Don West turns his head and delivers a final statement.

Don West
Make the most of your final days.

It’s there the camera freezes and the image becomes black and white. A dramatic music begins to play in the background as the announcer speaks.

Announcer
Who will win the fight? Who will win? Who will die? Who Shawn Michaels get his wife back? Will Antonio Cesaro get his wig back? Now, here are some questions we may finally be able to answer on the final episode of … The Young and Hairless.

The screen fades to black and we’re taken back to the commentator’s table.

{Jim Ross}
Well I don’t remember it going down exactly like that, but there will definitely be one hell a fight coming up between Antonio Cesaro, Shawn Michaels and Amazing Red. It may not literally be a matter of life and death, but with the stipulations in place someone’s career definitely is in danger of dying. Last week on Breakdown, an enraged Don West made the call to Vickie Guerrero to impose a “Winner Take All” stipulation on the match, meaning that only the one man who’s able to get the pinfall or submission will be a contracted member of the XWL roster going forward.

The crowd who was in a pretty good mood just seconds before now have a reson to feel a little upset when the theme of Antonio Cesaro blast through the speakers. Immediately the chorus of boos starts up as the people show nothing but disdain for the Swiss-born superstar. For months now Cesaro has been a thorn in the side of their hero Shawn Michaels, harboring a grudge just about a year old when The Heartbreak Kid was able to defeat Cesaro and retain his United States Championship. Cesaro steps onto the stage with a smug look on his face and his arms held behind his back.


{Jim Ross}
The appearance of Antonio Cesaro can only mean one thing folks: the highly anticipated matchup between him, Shawn Michaels and Amazing Red is only moments away from getting started!

{Michael Cole}
For two of these men, this could be the last night they wrestle in an XWL ring, I can only hope that Shawn Michaels is one of them.

{Jerry Lawler}
Actually Cole, I just received word through my headset that Hulk Hogan didn’t take too kindly to Vickie Guerrero changing the stipulation of the match without running it by him first, so he made a quick little change of his own.

{Jim Ross}
That’s right, this match still has the “Winner Takes All” stipulation, but General Manager Hulk Hogan has made it so that only the man who is pinned or made to submit will be fired.

{Michael Cole}
Are you kidding me? And what about the other guy?

{Jerry Lawler}
The superstar not involved in the finish of the match will be suspended indefinitely.

{Jim Ross}
A suspension is no fun, especially when you’re trying to make a name for yourself and leave your mark in this company, so there’s plenty of incentive for all three men to give it their all to win this match.

{Michael Cole}
Leave it to Hulk Hogan to make a power play just to undermine Vickie Guerrero.

{Jerry Lawler}
Vickie isn’t General Manager anymore, and it’s time that she accepts her role.


Cesaro is in the ring now and he makes his way over to the corner and climbs to the top so that everybody in the arena can get a good look as he holds out his fists and does his signature taunt. Cesaro drops down from the top and removes his jacket and hat and hands them over to The Ref and starts loosening himself up for the epic battle to come.



In contrast to the reception Cesaro received, there’s a huge pop for Shawn Michaels and everybody is on their feet applauding when one of the most beloved wrestlers in the history of this profession bursts onto the stage with a huge amount of energy. HBK makes his way down to the ramp and drops down to his knees. He looks down into the ring and smirks at the pacing Cesaro, before bowing his head into a prayer and throwing up his arms as pyro explodes behind him.


{Jim Ross}
And there he is ladies and gentleman! The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels has stepped onto the stage and just by listening to these people you can tell that business has just picked up.

{Michael Cole}
Well they better take all the pictures they can, because as far as I’m concerned, this will be the last time we ever see this old fart in XWL.

{Jerry Lawler}
As many men will tell you, getting rid of Shawn Michaels is a lot easier said than done. He’s not going to just let Cesaro or Red end his career.

{Jim Ross}
Shawn Michaels is resilient, Shawn Michaels is a fighter and if there’s anything that’s certain in this world it’s that HBK will give everything he has during this match and that’s why he’s The Showstopper.

{Michael Cole}
Maybe that’s the way he used to be, but it’s time you and all the delusional fans in this place just snap out of your fantasies so that you can finally see HBK for the shell of the man that he truly is.

{Jerry Lawler}
It was just last year that Shawn Michaels was in the middle of arguably the greatest United States Championship reigns ever. He’s not as washed up as you or Don West or Antonio Cesaro would like us to believe.


Michaels gets into the ring and spins in a circle before stopping on a dime, crouching to the side and flexing his biceps in one of his signature poses. He makes his way over to the corner, climbs to the top then looks back to check on Cesaro before turning back to the fans. Cesaro cracks his neck, clearly itching to get some vengeance and watches intently as his opponent panders to the fans. Michaels hops down from the top and strips off his entrance gear and he meets Cesaro in the middle of the ring where they start exchanging some words.


{Jim Ross}
These two men are ready to go right now, but The Ref isn’t calling for the bell because there’s still one more man to introduce into this triple threat match.

{Michael Cole}
That’s right, the man who should be competing in the Elimination Chamber match tonight, but instead he’s stuck here in this match with no championship implications.

{Jerry Lawler}
On Breakdown, The West Side Army searched in every nook and cranny for a person to sign their petition but before they could hand it to Hulk Hogan his papers were destroyed by the two men in the ring!

{Jim Ross}
And while Red would no doubt prefer to compete in a match with a shot at the World Championship on the line, getting fired or suspended by losing this match definitely won’t be doing him any favors.

{Michael Cole}
I love the way Don West thinks, he got Vickie to implement the Winner Take All stipulation and now Red will be able to kill two birds with one stone so that he can finally move on to bigger and better things with his career.

{Jerry Lawler}
I’m not saying Red won’t have a chance to win, but it certainly won’t be a cake walk. He’s going to need to be well on his game to make sure that West’s confidence in him doesn’t cost him his job.


As Cesaro and HBK continue to trash talk with the collective voices of the thousands packed into the arena chanting “H-B-K” this match certainly has a big fight feel to it with so much on the line. Suddenly a streak of Red shoots down the ramp and Amazing Red hops onto the apron, springboards off the top rope and takes out both Cesaro and Michaels with a front dropkick!

The Ref calls for the bell as Red kips up to his feet and knocks Cesaro down with a spinning back kick, then Red scrambles to his feet and charges at Michaels taking him out with a spinning back kick too. Cesaro is already on his feet and Red races over to him and hits a Yoshi tonic! Red gets up and dashes over to Michaels and goes for a spinning headscissors, and hangs on doing multiple revolutions before finally taking Michaels down and the momentum sends HBK rolling out of the ring on the ramp side.

As Cesaro gets up in the corner Red charges at him and hits his signature step up kick then rolls onto his feet, then he takes a running start and flips over the top rope taking HBK out and Red lands on his feet! Red races back into the ring as Cesaro stands up and Red charges right at him, ducking under a clothesline attempt and races over to the other side of the ring.

Red comes running back and goes for a satellite DDT but Cesaro is able to block it, then using his incredible strength, Cesaro thrusts Red into the sky and eats a dropkick in midair. Cesaro staggers back into the ropes and Red charges forward and connects with a vicious and reckless clothesline that sends both men flying over the top rope and out of the ring!


{Jim Ross}
My god, if there was any question about how upset Red was about being robbed of what he felt was his rightful spot in the Elimination Chamber they’ve all been answered.

{Michael Cole}
Red is out for vengeance, did you see the way he took out both men so easily?

{Jerry Lawler}
The element of surprise was definitely in his favor and if he’s able to keep up the pace this match could be over faster than I thought.


Red gets up while the fans are on their feet after the match got off to such a hot start. Climbing onto the apron, Red watches as Cesaro and Michaels hang onto each other while getting onto their feet. Red springboards off the middle rope going for the asai moonsault but is caught by both Cesaro and Michaels who charge with Red on their shoulders and launch him into the ring post like a dart.

Red’s skull connects with the metal post with a sickening clang and Don West makes his first appearance of the match rushing down the ramp to check on his client and The Ref has to get of the ring to physically keep West back. West is shouting screaming that Red is going to end the careers of HBK and Cesaro and with the big man refusing to listen to The Ref’s warning to calm down, the official has no choice but to eject West from the arena before he can become a handful down the road. West is screaming at the top of his lungs that The Ref is part of the fix and the conspiracy against Amazing Red. The crowd is getting a big kick out of this and start singing “hey hey hey, goodbye” as West fumes all the way back up the ramp.

HBK and Cesaro look on then suddenly begin unloading punches on each other. It’s a vicious barrage and it doesn’t look like either men is getting the advantage but they’re doing a hell of a job of wearing each other down. Cesaro finally pushes Michaels back then races towards him and misses a double axe handle as Michaels ducks under it. Cesaro turns around and catches Michaels foot less than an inch before he could connect with Sweet Chin Music and Cesaro quickly takes him down with a dragon screw.

Cesaro begins stomping away at HBK’s leg before gathering him up and rolling him into the ring. Cesaro rolls in right after but HBK pounces on him and brings his fists down hard on Cesaro’s back. Cesaro gets to his feet with HBK draped over his shoulder and charges forward driving him into the corner. Cesaro leans back then thrusts his shoulder forward, but HBK gets his legs up and quickly brings down Cesaro with a sunset flip:


1


Cesaro kicks out!


{Jim Ross}
Great job by Cesaro to quickly escape the predicament he was in before HBK was able to sneak away with the victory.

{Michael Cole}
Forget about those two, did you see the way Don West was ejected from the arena for absolutely no reason? He didn’t even make it down to ringside!

{Jerry Lawler}
Well, I can at least relax a little knowing that West won’t try to pull anything to give Amazing Red an unfair advantage and or an unfair victory.


HBK and Cesaro get to their feet at the same time and HBK blocks a punch from Cesaro and kicks him in the gut, doubling him over, then out of nowhere Red comes charging over to them, flips over Cesaro’s back and kicks HBK in the face! Red grabs the still bent over Cesaro in a front face lock and tries to go for a suplex, but the much bigger and stronger Cesaro easily turns the tables and hoists Red in the air. Cesaro does a couple of squats and walks in circle around the ring as if he were holding a pillow and not another man. Cesaro stops in the middle of the ring and poses for the crowd who boos though they can’t help but be a little impressed by this display of strength. A voice calls out to Cesaro from the other side of the ring, and Cesaro turns around to see HBK waiting on the top rope! HBK dives off and hits Red with a crossbody and sticks the landing for a pin:

Cesaro grabs a fistful of HBK’s hair and pulls him off of Red. HBK fights fire with fire and counters Cesaro’s dirty move with a poke to the eyes, then he snatches Cesaro up and hits a pendulum backbreaker and hopes that’s enough to get him the win:


{Jim Ross}
HBK has done it all and seen it all. Cesaro’s going to have to try a lot harder than that if he wants to pull one over on someone like Shawn Michaels.

{Michael Cole}
Oh I see, it’s okay when the great HBK does something cheap, dirty and downright uncalled for to another competitor but you two would be throwing a fit if anyone else even thought about doing something like that.

{Jerry Lawler}
Cesaro should realize he’s dealing with a master of the craft and not some rookie.

Red breaks up the pin nearly immediately and pulls HBK up to his feet and rocks him a forearm to the face to which HBK responds with a chop lighting up Red’s chest. Red comes back with another forearm and HBK once again responds in kind with a sharp chop that sends Red staggering back towards the ropes. HBK moves Red’s arms out of the way and chops him two more times before Red crumbles to the mat. Cesaro suddenly comes charging forward and clubs HBK on the back of the head, knocking him forward into the ropes, then grabs Michaels in a rear waist lock and tries to roll him up but HBK wisely holds onto the top rope sending Cesaro rolling backwards alone.

HBK gets up and charges at Cesaro who sticks out his knee but HBK flips over the kitchen sink attempt and gets Cesaro in a school boy pin:

Cesaro kicks out and with both him and HBK on their knees Cesaro hits a vicious European Uppercut. Cesaro hangs onto the back of HBK’s head to keep him from falling backwards and while he pulls The Hearbreak Kid to his feet, Cesaro hits him again and again with brutal European uppercuts. Finally on his feet Cesaro lifts HBK into the air with a gutwrench and just lets him hang there as he takes a moment to show off his strength. Red hops onto Cesaro’s back and locks in a sleeperhold while Cesaro still has HBK dangling in his arms. After a couple of seconds, Cesaro falls backwards hitting the gutwrench suplex on Michaels while dropping his body weight on Red. The crowd pops for that one, but they aren’t as enthused to see Cesaro crawl over to HBK and cover him:

HBK kicks out!


{Jim Ross}
No matter how much I may hate the way he thinks he’s better than everyone because of where he was born, I have to respect that Cesaro may be one of the strongest men in XWL for a man his size. He just took out Michaels and Red as if it were nothing.

{Michael Cole}
Michaels would probably throw out his back if he tried something like that and that’s what separates his carcass from the other bright spots in XWL.

{Jerry Lawler}
Well HBK found a way to kick out of that, so maybe he isn’t as brittle as you thought, Cole.


Cesaro sits up with a look of disbelief on his face, but he notices Red still on the ground and tries his luck with him:

Red gets his shoulder of the mat! Cesaro pushes the shoulder back down and goes for the pin again:

Red kicks out and Cesaro slaps the mat in frustration before getting up and forcing Red to his feet. Cesaro lifts Red into the air and slams him down for a scoop slam then he walks over to HBK resting by the ropes and tries to grab him but HBK pushes him away. Michaels runs at Cesaro who side steps him and throws him over the top rope. HBK manages to hang on and skins the cat but Cesaro catches him and goes for a powerslam. HBK elbows him repeatedly and manages to slip out of Cesaro’s grasp and land feet-first on the apron. Cesaro spins around and throws a punch that HBK blocks then HBK pulls Cesaro’s arm over the top rope. Cesaro hollers in pain and stumbles a few steps away before dropping to his hands and knees.

Amazing Red once again comes out of nowhere and steps off Cesaro’s back, jumping over the top rope and right at HBK, grabbing him for the Red Eye and dropping Michaels face first on the outside of the ring! That could be the end of HBK and the crowd knows it as they all get on their feet to watch as HBK lays motionless on the outside of the ring. Red may have hurt himself with that wild move but he powers through the pain and works his way to his feet. He gets the deadweight that is HBK onto the apron and is about to roll him into the ring when scumbag Cesaro hits a baseball kick knocking HBK back into Red and they drop to the ground. Cesaro goes after Red first and throws him into the steel stairs with as much force as he can muster and Red hits the stairs and flips over landing in a heap on the other side.


{Jim Ross}
Good God almighty, Red threw caution to the wind to take out HBK but Cesaro is poised to steal the victory if he’s able to capitalize.

{Michael Cole}
Instead of taking each other out, I think Cesaro and Red should form some kind of alliance to guarantee that HBK doesn’t wrestle in this company another day.

{Jerry Lawler}
Ha, you can’t be serious, Cole. There’s no way that Red or Cesaro would set their egos aside to work together for even half a second.


Cesaro turns to HBK and rolls him into the ring with more ease that the smaller Red was able to and he slips under the bottom of the rope and immediately covers HBK:

Michaels’ arm shoots into the air! The crowd pops and begins chanting HBK’s name as he rolls onto his stomach while Cesaro sits there with a look of disbelief on his face. Angered, he suddenly gets to his feet and cracks his necks before grabbing HBK and tucking his head between his legs. Cesaro tries to get him up for the Neutralizer but HBK grabs Cesaro’s legs and trips him up, then he steps between Cesaro’s  legs, turns him around and now has the Sharpshooter locked in! HBK leans back to put as much pressure on the submission as he can muster but despite the pain Cesaro is still clawing his way over to the ropes. He’s just a fingertip away… HBK pulls him back in the middle of the ring! The people get onto their feet and start chanting for Cesaro to tap out and he may have no choice but to!

Red slides back into the ring and quickly gets to Micheals who still has The Sharpshooter locked in and goes for a roundhouse kick and misses as HBK ducks under and still keeps the submission locked in, but Red does another spin and that misses too but Red comes right back and connects with the third kick attempt! The submission is broken as HBK crumbles to the mat though Red pays him no attention and instead looks at Cesaro laying on his stomach still in pain. Red climbs to the top facing away from the ring and he flips off the thousands in attendance before jumping off the turnbuckle and hitting Infrared! Red gets to his feet but his momentum causes him to stumble into the corner. It looks like he’s lining up Cesaro for the Red Star Press but as he goes running he’s intercepted mid-step by Michaels who hits Sweet Chin Music!


{Jim Ross}
He hit it! He hit it! Get the pin, Shawn! Keep your legendary career going strong!

{Michael Cole}
Red was so close to taking out Cesaro…. I didn’t see that kick coming at all.

{Jerry Lawler}
Well neither did Red apparently.


Fatigue prevents HBK from capitalizing on the big move as he collapses to the mat where he stands. All three men are down and the crowd is chanting “This is awesome!” as the wrestlers lying motionless in the ring seem determined not to go down and lose their jobs without putting up one hell of a fight. Michaels finally has the energy to crawl over to Amazing Red and the best he can do is put his arm across his chest in a weak pin:

Red kicks out! He had just enough time to recover from the devastating kick to the jaw and manages to avoid getting fired. Michaels and Red struggle to get to their feet and it’s Red who lashes out first with a punch to the face that sends HBK reeling back but HBK comes right back with a stiff right and Red staggers right into Cesaro who nails Red with a punch of his own. Red is knocked back over to HBK who hits him with another right and Red stumbles over to Cesaro who grabs him and floors him with a European uppercut. Cesaro drops down and goes for the pin right in front of HBK who promptly stomps on Cesaro’s back to break things up.

HBK picks up Cesaro then lifts him into the air for a suplex but Cesaro knees him in the air and HBK sets him down. Cesaro goes for a wild clothesline and HBK ducks under and races towards to the ropes. Cesaro turns around and gets caught in the face with a flying forearm. HBK kips up to his feet and hits an atomic drop on Cesaro then drops him with a scoop slam. HBK walks gingerly over to the corner and slowly ascends to the top in preparation for the diving elbow and he starts to get ready, Red attacks him from the apron causing Michaels to lose his balance and land groin first. Red springboards off the top rope, lands on HBK’s shoulders and hits a hurricanrana sending HBK flying onto Cesaro who just barely gets his knees up at the last second.


{Jim Ross}
Just when Michaels or Cesaro think they’ve seen the last of Amazing Red he comes flying out of nowhere leading to breathtaking moments like what we just saw.

{Michael Cole}
I like this strategy, work on HBK’s back so that he won’t be able to walk regardless of whether or not he wins or loses!

{Jerry Lawler}
That’s just disgusting, Cole. Beating a man and trying to paralyze him are two completely different things and there’s a line between them that no one with a conscience should try to cross.


HBK rolls out of the ring clutching his back as Red gets to his feet and is turned inside out with a clothesline from Cesaro who goes for the pin right after:

There’s another kick out by Red who’s showing just how resilient he is. Cesaro and Red get to their feet and Red suddenly hits a low dropkick that sends Cesaro flying onto the middle rope in perfect position for the 718. Red races over to the ropes picking up a ton of momentum then he come swinging through the ropes but nobody’s home! Cesaro runs over to the ropes and nails Red with a vicious springboard uppercut! Instead of going for the pin he pulls Red to his feet and goes for the Neutralizer. He lifts Red into the air and slams him down with all his might and wastes no time going for the pin:

Michaels hits a diving elbow drop breaking up the pin in the most dramatic way possible! He gets to his feet and he’s all fired up now as he takes Cesaro from behind and hits him with a tear drop suplex. Then HBK turns his sights on Red and he lifts him into the air and puts him to sit on the rope with his back facing away from the ring. HBK climbs up behind Red and goes for a super back suplex, however, Red is putting up a fight trying to avoid taking a painful drop this late in the match that he may not get up from. HBK clubs Red on the back repeatedly to soften him up but before he can attempt the move again, Cesaro pops up under him and tries to throw him down with a powerbomb. Michaels abandons Red and pounds away at the top of Cesaro’s head then when they’re near the ropes HBK does a hurricanrana sending Cesaro flying over the top rope and out of the ring.

{Jim Ross}
You just can never count out The Heart Break Kid. Just when you think you have him right where you want him, he flips your world upside down.

{Michael Cole}
Enjoy this moment while it lasts, because sooner or later Michaels’ luck is going to run out and I’m going to be right there when it does to get a good laugh.

{Jerry Lawler}
Michaels didn’t get to where he is because of luck and if he manages to win tonight it’ll be because he was the better man not the luckier man.


HBK hangs onto the ropes and lands on the apron then rolls back into the ring. Red has managed to turn himself around on the top rope and when HBK gets to his feet Red dives off and connects with a crossbody!

HBK rolls through and gets to his feet with Red in his arms! HBK walks over to the ropes, lifts Red into the air, then drops him throat first across the top rope! Red bounces into the air and back into the ring while HBK nearly loses his balance due to fatigue but manages to stumble into the corner where he uses the turnbuckles to keep himself propped up.

Michaels notices Red in a vulnerable position and The Showstopper slaps his knee just before he starts tuning up the band! The crowd counts each time HBK’s boot hits the mat and by the eighth time, Red gets to his feet and HBK starts inching away from the ropes. Red turns around and ducks under Michaels’ boot! HBK turns around and Red quickly takes him down with a leg sweep then leaps into the air and hits the Red Star Press!

Cesaro deadlifts Red into the air and slams him on top of HBK with the Neutralizer! Cesaro rolls Red off HBK and for a moment Cesaro hesitates deciding who to pin and thus whose career to end and finally he decides on HBK, the man who prevented him from becoming a champion, to the crowds dismay and they boo their hearts out while The Ref begins his count:

3!







The boos intensify when Cesaro’s theme hits confirming his victory, by pinning the beloved Shawn Michaels nonetheless. That’s it, this current run for HBK is over and the fans are distraught as they watch Cesaro roll out of the ring and hold up his arms in victory as he walks backwards up the ramp with a smug grin on his face.

{Jim Ross}
I can’t believe it had to end like that!

{Michael Cole}
Oh boo hoo!

{Jerry Lawler}
Red was just a second away from winning the match and Cesaro stole it from him!

{Jim Ross}
Did you see the way he hesitated as if he couldn’t decide whose career he’d love to end more?

{Michael Cole}
Well as far as I’m concerned he made the right choice.

{Jerry Lawler}
All because HBK beat him a year ago… what a sore loser that Antonio Cesaro is.


Cesaro turns around and spots Don West on the ramp and the two exchange a look before West walks by him and down the ramp and to the ring. The Ref is tending to HBK who may be suffering from internal injuries and West pulls Amazing Red out of the ring and helps him to his feet. It looks like Red isn’t aware of what’s happened and West shouts over and over again “You were robbed!” West tells Red to get his revenge on The Ref and he does just that by sliding into the ring and tackling the official to the ground!

West cheers on Red who is embodying what it means to be a sore loser by taking out his frustration on the ref who was just doing his job. Red pulls the Official to his feet then knocks him out cold with a vicious roundhouse kick. The crowd pops because while Red is acting all high and mighty over attacking a helpless Ref, HBK is on his feet behind him waiting for Red to turn around so that he can drop him with a superkick. West quickly slides into the ring and low blows HBK! Red turns around to see HBK doubled over in agony and without hesitation Red hops onto Michaels’ back and takes him out with Code Red! Red holds HBK in position and Don West gets down and counts a pin as if a match were still going on.



Red’s theme hits and the crowd boos as he gets to his feet with some assistance from Don West who takes Red by the wrist and raises his arm in the air. West shouts that Amazing Red is the real winner of that match but no matter how loud he screams he can’t change the fact that Red is suspended indefinitely from XWL. Medical and security officials race down the ramp and West quickly tells Red to get the hell out of dodge and he definitely doesn’t need to say it twice. Red quickly exits the ring and hops over the barricade then races through the crowd before he can be escorted out of the arena in handcuffs. Back in the ring, West innocently says that he’s not the one who got suspended, and leaves the ring. West walks up the ramp to the tune of the crowd’s boos but all he does his smile in response to the negative reaction. On the stage West says that this isn’t the end, but just the beginning of something truly special.

{Jim Ross}
I just can’t believe any of this. In one foul swoop, HBK is fired and Amazing Red is a fugitive… I don’t even know what to say.

{Michael Cole}
You know what, I could live with this. Shawn Michaels is gone forever, while Amazing Red gets some much needed vacation time. Everybody wins.

{Jerry Lawler}
Everybody except the fans, you mean. If this is the last time we see HBK it’s truly a shame that thanks to West and Red he didn’t even get to say a proper goodbye.

{Jim Ross}
I can’t imagine HBK going out like this, King. He’s got too much heart, too much fight left in him to let the likes of Cesaro or Red dictate when he’ll hang up his boots for good.

{Michael Cole}
Oh get over yourselves, the man is almost hundred, making a comeback is easier said than done for the likes of him. He should just call it a day and stop hogging the spotlight so that the real stars of thie company can get their time to shine.

The fans are on their feet chanting HBK’s name while he and The Ref are tended to by a team of doctors. Eye for an Eye fades to a brief hype package of something important while the chants linger on just for a bit before fading away too.

Michael Cole
"Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like take this time now to give you a sneak-peak at a man that will be debuting here in XWL, very soon. His name is...

Adrian Neville."

.

.

The screen fades to black and we are taken to a video package, highlighting XWL newcomer, Adrian Neville.





As we return from the video package, we can hear the crowd cheering in excitement for the new XWL High-Flyer. Cameras are in the commentary table again, as the commentators also show excitement.


Jerry Lawler
"Wow! I can not wait for Adrian Neville! Did you see all those flips and turns J.R.?!"

Jim Ross
"I sure did, King. I have a feeling, this young man is gonna make a helluva name for himself here in XWL."


As this small portion of the show concludes, we transition into the next segment of the evening.

The hype video for the soon to be debuting Adrian Neville comes to a close as we begin to head backstage. The cameras fade into the scene where the diva who will be competing in a handicap match here tonight is seen preparing herself mentally for the challenge that stands in front of her here tonight. She doesn't quite notice the cameraman or the interviewer as she seems too deep into the thoughts of her match against Vickie Guerrero and the Diva who has attempted to make her life a living hell these past two months. She is kinda snapped out of it as the interviewer gets her attention.



[Interviewer]
Excuse me, Kaitlyn. I was wondering if we could ask you a few questions regarding the big handicap match that is scheduled for tonight.

[Kaitlyn]
Sure, just make it quick.



[Interviewer]
Well firstly, from the ways thing look, a lot of things seem to be running through your head. Would you mind sharing some of these thoughts?



[Kaitlyn]
My thoughts? Retribution. Vengeance. Revenge. You wouldn't exactly know what it is like to be on top of the world, to be the top diva this company has to offer, and a record setting Divas Champion. You wouldn't know what it is like to have all of that ripped from the palm of your hands and you just can't argue it or fight it because of who you are and who they are. When all the things I said were stripped from me, I had no say in the matter. It was an official decision made by an authority figure. I couldn't question it or anything, I just had to live with it if I wanted to ever reclaim what was stolen from me. I paid my dues and I waited, and now it's time for me to seek my vengeance on Vickie Guerrero and that little puppet of hers who is too afraid to take off the mask. Too afraid to show their true colors. Too afraid to face me face to face.



[Kaitlyn]
Vickie, it's obvious she doesn't like me. I couldn't tell you for what reasons, I just know she doesn't like me. But the thing is, the thing that she doesn't understand. I don't really care if she doesn't like me. I don't care if she doesn't like the way I think. I don't care if she doesn't like the way I act. I don't care if she doesn't like the way I wrestle. I don't care what she has to think to say for one reason; what I'm doing works. The way I think has gotten me to the top of the mountain. The way I act has gotten me to the top of the mountain. The way I wrestle has gotten me to the top of the mountain. All of that has made me who I am and who I am is one of the greatest divas to ever step foot into an XWL Ring.



[Kaitlyn]
I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I've beaten near every diva that has been thrown at me. I've beaten Layla. I've beaten Michelle McCool. I've beaten Maryse. I've beaten Brie and Nikki Bella. I've beaten Natalya. I've beaten Beth Phoenix. I've beaten AJ Lee. I have the right to say that I am without a doubt one of the most dominant divas in the division and I'm not going to let Vickie change that. I'm not going to let her make me look like a chump who can't stand up to authority. Tonight is the night where for the first time in over two months, I walk out of this building happy, For over two months, I've left with confused thoughts in my head. For the first time in over two months, I won't leave confused, I'm going to leave happy. Happy that Vickie and her puppet get what they have coming to them.

[Interviewer]
And on Breakdown, after you managed to chase the two of them out of the ring. You said four words that we didn't expect you to say. To remind everyone, those words were 'Maybe it wasn't Layla.' Care to comment on that?



[Kaitlyn]
Maybe it was her, maybe it wasn't. The reason I think it wasn't is because this could all be a ruse. Maybe she is trying to make me think it was Layla so she could catch me off guard. A typical attempt of hers to get inside my head, make me think so that she can get the upper hand on me. I finally realized that this could be the case because after thinking about it, realizing that there just so happened to be a microphone that changed my voice, maybe Layla was innocent all along. Maybe she was just trying to be a friend because of how crap my career has been these past two months. Maybe... Maybe she has changed and I'm just too stupid to really realize it because of how much Vickie has messed with my head. If this is the case, then congrats Vickie, you have succeeded in doing what you wanted to do.



[Kaitlyn]
But on the other end of things, what if it was her? What if they are trying to make me think it wasn't her so when the time comes, they can trick me yet again? It's just such a hard topic to think about because of all the possibilities. Not only that, but factor in the evil and manipulative mind that Vickie has and you are in for the ride of your life. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case either because look at Layla's past, this would be typical Layla. I just... I just don't know what to think. I want to trust Layla but I just can't. I'm fighting a war with myself and with Vickie and because of that, I'm fighting a war that I just can't win... For the time being at least because I'm going to fight the battles and I'm going to walk out battered and bruised. But in the end, despite all the injuries and causalities, I'm going to be the winner.



[Kaitlyn]
Vickie, I hope you're watching this because this is your warning. You can't look back, you can't choose to not compete. You are stuck in the war zone and you're not getting out as long as I'm here. I'm going to hunt you down and I'm going to take you out. I'm the hunter, you're my prey. Your little friend can try and save you but she will just be a causality that I won't be afraid to take out with my weapon of choice; The Spear. Say your prayers, call your friends and family and say goodbye because you aren't going to be able to walk out under your own power once I get done with you and your little friend here tonight. That's not me saying what may happen, that is a statement. A guarantee... A promise...

Kaitlyn begins to stare very intensely into the camera, she's focused, she's been waiting for this chance since Digital Decision, and now she's got it. Her eyes radiate a strong aura from them as she gazes forward, more ready than ever....but her focus is quickly lost as she hears a voice in the distance call out her name.

[????]
Kaitlyn!


Her head quickly turns in the direction of the voice, and in a matter of seconds up runs a bubbly and oddly ecstatic Layla.

[Layla]
Hey girl!

Kaitlyn greets Layla with a somewhat unnerved look, she's still not sure what to think, and while the new evidence on Breakdown has her thinking maybe Layla has been telling the truth this entire time....a part of her thinks this could just be a way to blindside her. Layla may seem genuine, but Kaitlyn is just not receptive to her friendly greeting.


[Layla]
I know tonight is a big night for you, and I just wanted to let you know that I'll be back here rooting you on.

As Layla smiles at her, Kaitlyn can't help but stare silently, and cautiously...leaving her to think one thing, is this a trick?


[Layla]
Anyways, I know you've gotta get ready for the match so I won't talk your head off, but good luck out there, Kaitlyn!

Still quiet, Kaitlyn nods finally, then stares at Layla with a somewhat serious expression.

[Kaitlyn]
You too, Layla.

Kaitlyn immediately leaves the scene after that parting remark, and Layla's left there now with her smile completely gone. Her arms are crossed, and her mood seems to have changed completely, is this simply due to Kaitlyn insinuating she'd be facing Layla out there and she's sick of remarks like that? Or...is there some other reason for Layla to be staring so fiercely in the direction Kaitlyn went in? We're not sure what the reason is, but as we we're left wondering, we soon fade away.

*Eye For An Eye returns from a video package for the Elimination Chamber that takes place later tonight, which pits six of XWL's rising stars against each other where the winner is granted as shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at The Monster Bash before the video comes to an end and is replaced with an all too familiar image.*



*The image fades after a few moments and is replaced with a video of a man standing in front of a wall of what appears to be blood, mumbling to himself for a second. The man is quickly revealed to be Dean Ambrose, who is fresh off the heels of stabbing his own allies in the back in The Shield just six days ago. After that brutal display, Ambrose went on to attempt to send a message to his opponent for the evening, Rob Van Dam, but it backfired on him when RVD was able to hold him at bay with one of his deadly kicks. The image of that is still fresh in the psychotic mind of Dean Ambrose, who still has his back to the camera, and slightly turns his head before beginning to speak.*



{Dean Ambrose}
“Why did you do it, Dean? Why did you turn your back on The Shield?” That seems to be the question on everybody's mind since I eradicated Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns from this company. That misguided question has no answer because I did not turn my back on The Shield, they turned their back on me. Let me set the stage for you: Supremacy. Just a few minutes after I did what I said I was going to do, after I finished slaying the Dragon, I got attacked by Bray Wyatt and Cactus Jack, collectively known as The Family.



{Dean Ambrose}
And where was Roman Reigns? Where was Seth Rollins? Nowhere to be seen. Reigns coincidentally took the night off while Rollins was walking into an ambush later on in the evening. I don't need anybody to fight my battles for me but when you say that you got my back until the end, I expect you to keep your word. That's not what happened.



{Dean Ambrose}
From that night forward, I patiently waited for the perfect moment to strike, I sat biding my time, waiting for the opportunity to present itself. Finally, the time came: six days ago. I got into Reigns' head and I made him believe that eliminating Rollins was the right choice, and like a lamb waiting for the slaughter, he agreed.



*Ambrose stops speaking and begins pacing around the room for a moment before stopping and looking at the wall, almost mesmerized by it while possibly replaying the events he just mentioned repeatedly in his mind. An expression that's a mixture of anger and a sense of accomplishment appears on his face, along with a sinister smirk before both fade as he continues to speak.*



{Dean Ambrose}
The stage was set and all that stood between me and getting the justice that I deserved, was time. Everything went according to plan, Rollins was the first to fall. I will admit, he put up a small fight but in the end, his fall from grace was slow and painful, just like I planned it. Then came Roman Reigns, and just like Rollins, he didn't see it coming.



{Dean Ambrose}
After the blood of The Shield was on my hands, I knew that I had done what I set out to do, I killed my own creation. The blood was on my hands and that's just how I wanted it to be. When I decided to bring The Shield to this company, we had the same vision of Justice. But somewhere down the line, something happened, I don't know what nor do I care.



{Dean Ambrose}
Rollins and Reigns' views on Justice became skewed and slowly but surely, they stopped believing. And I will be damned if I was going to have them turn on me first, so I beat them to the punch. It was only a matter of time before The Shield was going to come to an end, I just accelerated the inevitable.



{Dean Ambrose}
I'm better off alone anyways, I can't trust anybody in this world. Sami Callihan, AJ Styles, Corey Graves, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, just a few names that I thought had my back but it turns out they were just in it for themselves. Their greed got the best of them and they paid the price for their sins. Surprisingly, Graves is the last person left standing but he too will soon fall, I'll make sure of it.



{Dean Ambrose}
His time will come soon enough but there are more important matters to attend to first: Rob Van Dam. Mr. Monday Nights, Mr. Pay-Per-View, The Whole F'n Show, after tonight, all you'll be known as is just another victim to fall before Dean Ambrose. There were better men than you that have tried to keep me down and they were shot down like the animals they are.



{Dean Ambrose}
I've faced any and every style of wrestling you can imagine, from high fliers like yourself to brawlers, from technicians who knew everything there is to know in this sport to “submission experts” who knew holds that you can't even imagine. The list goes on but they, just like you will tonight, they all fell before me. Bring everything that you got and you still won't beat me, you won't even get close.



{Dean Ambrose}
I won't deny it, I won't try to sugarcoat it, you could probably out wrestle me each night of the week but that's the thing, Rob, our “match” tonight isn't about who can out wrestle the other, it doesn't even matter who's the better wrestler. All that matters is who can outlast the other, all that matters is who can take more pain, it's all about who can inflict more pain on the other, it's about survival, and I already got you beat on that alone.



{Dean Ambrose}
While you were preparing all week for this Hardcore Match that was made between us, while you were getting ready to walk into your own demise, I almost forgot we had a match. That's how much of a threat I see you as. I don't have a gameplan going into this, Rob, because I don't need one. I am going to do what ever it takes to make sure that you don't make it out of that ring under your own power. All the preparations you have made will be in vain because I'll make sure that you end up in a hospital bed by the time I'm done with you.



{Dean Ambrose}
Your blood will join the countless other people's on this wall who thought they had what it took to stand face to face with Dean Ambrose. All the people who pretended to have my back, all the people who kicked me when I was down, all the people who kicked dirt in my face, all the people who said that I would amount to nothing in this sport, you will join them when the night comes to a close and you'll have no one to blame but yourself.



{Dean Ambrose}
You are the last person standing in my way of immortality, Rob, you are the final obstacle that stands between me and my goal of taking over this entire planet. Tonight begins the Rise of Dean Ambrose and after I beat Rob Van Dam, I'm taking over the world. And if you're smart...



{Dean Ambrose}
Stay out of the way.

*Ambrose looks directly into the camera with a stoic expression for a few seconds before he walks out of the cameras view. His footsteps are heard slowly departing as the sound of a door opening and closing fills the air, causing the sound of the footsteps to cease.*



*The cameraman is left alone in the blood soaked room as he slowly pans around said room, catching a glimpse of something on a wall. He zooms in on it to examining it closer, faintly making something out. That is the last image shown on screen for a few more moments before the video fades to black.*

The sun is shining high in the sky, the birds are chirping and the people walking by, going idly about their day, have smiles plastered on their faces, just oozing happiness, peace and serenity. If such a thing as a utopia existed outside of fantasies and wild dreams this scene would definitely find its way onto a postcard sent by those enjoying their perfect lives to those in more unfortunate situations. The camera pans around to capture to full breadth of the scene and that’s when we catch our first glimpse of a figure in the distance, standing motionless under the shade of a tree. The cameraman begins approaching the still-stationary figure, whose head is down, with long dark hair blocking a view of a face while everyone around the person carries on as if  there were no one there. The closer the cameraman gets to the figure, the more obvious it becomes that the so-called mysterious entity is none other than MsChif.

She’s out in the middle of who knows where, in her ring gear of all things, and even in a place as bright and cheery as this MsChif has found a dark place to conceal herself in and it’s quite easy to imagine the temperature dropping several degrees once you find yourself in her immediate vicinity. There’s so many people out here in a place with such a soothing and upbeat vibe that it begs several questions all revolving around the idea that it’s impossible not to wonder what MsChif’s intentions are for being here. Why did she choose this specific place? Is she on the hunt? Searching for the man who’s been on her mind for weeks? Would she actually go through on her threat to wreak havoc in the presumed safety many believe the sunlight brings? Most importantly, how in the world does she expect to see anyone or anything with her head down? The cameraman stops in front of MsChif, and the green-haired tormentor tilts her head upwards and she has a devilish grin on her face. As she speaks, her voice is calm yet still unsettling in a way for it is known she can switch gears without warning.

MsChif
Out here in a place such as this you would fit right in amongst the forced laughter, the empty conversations and the blinding smiles because you’ve grown accustomed to and quite adept at living under the pretense that in your perfect world you’re invincible. But you’re far from untouchable, I’ve already proven as much when I left you a broken mess then put you on display for all the world to see as if you were some carnival attraction. With the things you say and the way you act, you might as well be one so I figure I might as well help you look the part. When the flesh of your face is caved in from merciless blows at the hands of your arbiter and then covered with your crimson fluid, a much more suitable complexion... When your eyes are blackened from more than fear-induced sleepless nights along with being swollen shut caused by more than believing blindness brings safety, and when your teeth are missing some companions, thus ruining the beloved appearance you love to flaunt, everyone will turn away in horror, including the women you used as if they were toys…. No one will come at the eleventh hour to be your knight in shining armor, there is no cavalry just beyond horizon with weapons drawn. Realize now that you’re alone in this battle and that in itself may be scarier than the things that I plan to do to you over the course of this war.

MsChif raises her head fully, her eyes looking deep within the camera lens as if they were actually locked with the eyes of the man she is constantly referring to. The man who jumped to number one on her hit list after Supremacy, ahead of Madison Eagles who took her championship and ahead of any other diva who MsChif would have set aside some time to hunt, terrify and torment. Suffering from a nagging injury, MsChif has been on a slump losing match after hard-fought match to some of XWL’s best divas, yet when you look into those eyes you don’t see a woman who’s wounded or weak, you see danger and beyond that, a disturbing mind that seemingly knows nothing more than the most sickening and gruesome ways to introduce unfathomable amounts of pain to her hapless victims.

MsChif
Your pride? Shattered! Your manhood? Emaciated! Your legacy? How about we just say there’s a green stain on it, and it grows each second you foolishly disregard its existence. It was you who made the foolhardy choice to play with fire, and wishing away the flames won’t do a single thing to prevent you from getting burned and from getting scarred for life. The pain, which once made your eyes water, may diminish. Your voice, once hoarse from begging for an end to come, may return to normal but it is the scars that will haunt you and serve as a painful reminder of the life you once lived and the punishment you received because of it. You will repent for your sins and I don’t need your permission to sentence your soul to an eternity of torment. Weeks went by when I allowed you the privilege to make the first move, to give me your best shot and show me, prove to me and prove to the world, that you’re the man you want everyone to think you are… But it would appear now, after weeks of silence on your end, that such an honor is better reserved for a man with a bigger set than you possess. However, despite the precedent that has been set you have been trying in vain, desperately for weeks, to get things back to the way they once were… to a time when you were the alpha dog but when I make you my bitch and expose the fact that your bark is much worse than your bite, people are going to start looking at you in a different light.

MsChif chuckles softly though there was nothing amusing amidst the unsettling threats she uttered to a man that it’s starting to be a little difficult to feel sorry for even if he’s as deserving of all of this as MsChif claims he is Perhaps the humor lies in within the threat itself as it’s already well known and well documented that MsChif takes great pleasure in ruining the lives of others. The mere thought of wreaking havoc must get her giddy. With a grin on her face she continues speaking as the rest of the people around continue on oblivious or indifferent to her presence.

MsChif
All you do is talk about how women are beneath you, how they’re nothing more than objects to satisfy your desires while you ignore theirs. You prey on them and you use them then you shamelessly boast about your exploits with a smile on your face. Where’s your smile now that a woman who’s strong and can stand up for herself and can fight her won battles stands in your way? Are you going to boast when that woman knocks you down a peg? Will you laugh to your friends about the time that she you’re your life a living hell while enjoying every waking second of it? You won’t be a hero for your gender, but a scapegoat and a poster child who will serve as a warning against anyone who thinks it’s wise to get on my bad side. I’m not here to be a bastion of woman’s rights, I’m just here to let you know that there’s somebody out here who won’t tolerate your shit and she’s a lot closer than you think. Maryse, Madison Eagles, Nikki Bella, Eve and Mickie James mean nothing to me, they’re old news. You’re the one that’s on my mind, you’re the one I’ve been obsessing over and we both can’t co-exist any longer. I don’t make a habit of committing errors, but you were one of them. I made the mistake of letting you walk away, of thinking you had learned your lesson, but it’s clear to me now more than ever before that serious reformation of your kind is a much more time intensive process than I first though. You won’t walk away a second time.

Turning her head slowly from left to right MsChif acknowledges once more the existence of the people in this area. Watching like a hawk, and observing as the gears spin in her head, MsChif doesn’t quite see the world like everyone else especially like the man she plans on hunting down.

MsChif
I didn’t come out here to find a needle like you in such a large haystack, I came out here to take note of people who operate on a daily basis the same way you do; carrying on without a care in the world as if danger doesn’t exist in their bubble. They talk about things that don’t matter to distract themselves from the problems that consistently plague the real world, because nothing matters until it directly effects them. They smile to hide the pain that has found a home in their body, they laugh to fool themselves into thinking they are happy while storm clouds follow them overhead. They seek solace in the arms of those who will lie to them for their sake of their ego and tell them anything they want to hear. This is the world that you call home, it’s the world you retreated to after our altercation weeks ago and it’s in that world your deluding yourself into thinking that things will be okay. But do you think that after yet another extended absence from this company you will slip from my mind the same way you did? Are you hoping that another diva pisses me off which causes me to devote all my time and resources to taking care of her? You’re not getting off that easily; I’m going to turn your world upside down and shattering the barriers and destroy the walls that protect you. I’m going to show you the face of the very real and immediate threat that lurks in the shadows and are the stars of your reoccurring nightmares on the nights when you’re brave enough to close both eyes and drift off to a fruitless slumber. Very soon places like this filled people like these will become foreign to you and it’ll all because of me.

The screen fades to black though it doesn’t appear MsChif is quite done yet. Over the black screen her voice is heard while the sounds of rainfall provides a soothing background track.. a stark contrast to the disconcerting words of the Soul’s Tormentor.

Beer in one hand, tool in the other, what it means to be a man’s man he embodies entirely.
One who drifts back and forth over the line drawn in the sand without a care for ramifications.
With a perverse view of right and wrong, a pervert he has grown into, a truly sad sight to see.
Seeking the companionship other others to have minute long rounds of meaningless relations.

Until a revolutionary stands tall in defiance, while others around her remain bowed at his feet.
Gone from his eyes is that feral lust, replaced by a look he desperately tries to conceal, of fear.
Realizing he can’t run fast enough or hide in a place safe enough, he refuses to admit defeat.
But now the choice is no longer his, and his cries for mercy are the last things anyone will hear.



As an image comes into focus and a second pre-recorded video begins to play, we are taken right back to the same area we were in during the last video but rainfall has washed away the pleasant vibes and anyone who walks by isn’t taking their time or stopping to talk. MsChif is in the same place as she was last time, the tree she’s sitting against providing cover.

MsChif
And now the heavens weep for you as they know what’s in store for you. There’s no bright sunny days, no laughter, not an inkling of happiness in store for you in the coming days. Eye for an Eye is you’re your end finally begins, it’s all downhill from here and I don’t think you’re truly prepared for the steep drop… no one could be. This world, filled with rain and sorrow and despair and darkness is what you should grow accustomed to. Last year Nikki Bella and I were locked in the Room of Chaos, this year I have the whole world at my disposal and I will use every inch of it you leave you a bloody mess. These are more than threats, these are guarantees. I promise that you will never be the same again… that’s a vow I don’t intend to break.

MsChif steps out from under the tree and into the rain and she holds out her arms and tilts her head toward the sky. Before she walks away she makes one final chilling statement.

MsChif
You may think you’re different, that your gender will make you an exception, but like all the others, when the dust settles and the blood dries, you’ll be nothing more than another tormented soul.

As Eye for an Eye continues we are brought backstage where Matt Striker is standing by with The Ryback.

{{Matt Striker}}
Ladies and Gentleman welcome back to Eye for an Eye, I'm accompanied here by West Side Army member, The Ryback… How are you feeling after that big Pre-Show win over The British Invasion?

{{The Ryback}}
Hungry.. The British Invasion were weak. They were no match for an Army. Alone Amazing Red, Corey Graves, and myself are more than a match for any wrestler backstage. But together.. Amazing Red's speed and gravity defying, high flying ability. Corey Graves' resilience and ability to make his opponent's hurt, and I mean really hurt. And well, then there's me. The Ryback. The Human Wrecking Ball. The man who defeated Randy Orton. The man who demolished Carlito and The Brian Kendrick. The man who went toe to toe with Brock Lesnar, and had it not been for The Undertaker would have defeated the former UFC Champion. I'm the true predator of the XWL, I'm The Next Big Thing of this company. And The West Side Army is the perfect combination, the unstoppable combination. The West Side Army is the future of this company, and thanks to Don West we will soon be the here and now… What are you looking at?

The Ryback gives someone off screen a death stare. The camera turns so that we can see Primo and Epico standing near by talking to each other while glaring at The Ryback.

{{Primo}}
Echa un vistazo este tipo

{{Epico}}
Espero que viene aquí

{{Primo}}
mí también primo, después lo que hizo al hombre Carlito.

{{The Ryback}}
English Ese! This is America! What are you two pukes saying? You trying to start something huh? You upset about what I did to your hermano Carlito? What are you going to do about it? Cry? Because I know that you two don't want to come and say whatever it is you're saying to my face. I know that you're not stupid enough to think that the two of you can take on me. That is, unless you're as Stupid as you look.

{{Matt Striker}}
Alright Ryback, that's enough. They don't mean any har-

The Ryback shoves Striker down to the ground with a palm to the face.

{{The Ryback}}
Shut up Striker. You're just an interviewer, you're a nobody. Stay out of this. Now as for you two. If you don't turn around and walk away right now, I'm going turn you into Mexican roadkill. Just like I did to your brother. How is he doing anyways now that he's gone from the XWL? Mowing lawns? Cleaning houses?

{{Primo}}
We're not Mexican asshole.

{{Epico}}
We're Puerto Rican. And that means we never back down from a fight with an intimidar, even one as big and stupid as you!

Epico charges at The Ryback but is dropped by a big boot.

{{The Ryback}}
Stupid!!

Primo charges next, only to be met with an elbow to the temple. The Ryback laughs as he lifts both men onto his shoulders. Before he is able to Shell Shock the cousins he is low blowed by Matt Striker!! The crowd goes wild as The Ryback falls to his knees, dropping Primo and Epico.

{{Matt Striker}}
You know, I wasn't always just an interviewer. But ever since becoming one I've seen and put up with a lot of bullies just like you. And to be honest with you, I'm sick of it. I was a wrestler once too, I've still got it in me. You might be able to beat two men, but how about three? How about you put your money where your mouth is and take on myself, Primo, and Epico?

The Ryback, still in shock and pain from the low blow angrily replies..

{{The Ryback}}
You're on.. And you're dead..

Striker helps Primo and Epico to their feet. They see that The Ryback is starting to recover and quickly scurry away from the monster.

King: Man oh man does Kenny King look ready for this match, I'd be running scared if I were Alex Shelley!

J.R.: Sure, Kenny is pumped up, who wouldn't be? This is his first title match here in XWL, he earned this match! But don't count out the current United States Champion, King. Shelley has been champion for as long as he has for a reason!

Cole: That's right, I know who I'm putting my money on in this match, and that's Alex Shelley!

Excitement, attitude, athleticism, aggression, energy and atmosphere.

All of the things that I have, everything that Alex Shelley doesn't. As I sit here, awaiting the start of the show, I can't help but think that tonight is my night. Tonight is the night that everyone will finally see Kenny King for what he truly is, a champion. When I step into this ring and I look across at Alex Shelley he'll know that tonight will be his downfall. He'll rue the day that he challenged Kenny King to a match for his United States Championship. And when I slam Shelley down onto the mat and cover him for the 1, 2, 3! Even he will be forced to see what a champion I am. I'm the champion. I'm it. And it's time. It's Kenny King's time.

Shelley, you can kiss that title goodbye, because tonight. . . It's coming home with me.

The video ends and the crowd is in a ruckus, boos and cheers going every which way. King stands in the far right corner, an even bigger smile on his face. He's stretching, preparing for Alex's entrance. He doesn't have to wait long as Shelley's theme blasts over the speakers.



The crowd roars in approval when The United States, and one-half of the Ersatz Tag Team Champions, Alex Shelley casually walks onto the stage as if he were going for a stroll in the park and not about to partake in one of his toughest defenses to date. With a grin on his face, Shelley stares down the ramp and locks eyes with the man who suckered punched him the last time they stood in the ring together. The noise of the crowd is nearly drowning out Shelley’s music, their appreciation for a man who has never turned his back on them and always gives it 111% for their enjoyment ever evident in the way they passionately chant his name.

Garcia.:And his opponent… weighing in at 225 pounds… from Detroit Michigan…he is the Unites States Champion… Alex Shelley!

J.R.:Would you just listen to these people? They’re all fired up for this match and you can only imagine how Alex Shelley and Kenny King are feeling as the seconds draw closer to their bound to be epic encounter with championship gold on the line.

Cole: I know I said that my money was on Shelley earlier, but I think I changed my mind. Just look at the way this idiot is smiling after he got knocked out on Breakdown. That’s the face of a man that pretending not to be scared.

King: Looks more to me like a man who refuses to let his opponent get inside of his head, but you must know best, Cole.

Not breaking eye-contact with King for a second, Shelley raises his right arm in the air, with his hand shaped like a gun… a gun aimed right at King who isn’t impressed when Shelley pulls the trigger, mouthing the word bang, while pyro explodes to punctuate the sound of the gun shot. With the fans still hot for him, Shelley starts making his way down the ramp, slapping a couple of high-fives along the way and as he continues his way to the ring the screen cuts to the titantron where a video of Shelley giving some brief remarks before the match starts playing.



Alex Shelley
I hope that my good friend Kenny King has come to peace with the stone cold truth regarding our little rivalry, which is the fact that him pretty much knocking me out, and I’m not ashamed to call it as it was, on Breakdown will be the peak of his career, because when we step inside of that ring with my pride and joy on the line, it’s going to take a lot more than a single punch to take this belt away from me. Sure, I like to crack jokes, play video games and take long walks on the treadmill, but there’s a reason why I was able to win this title at Dead Man’s Hand and there’s a reason why I still have this at Eye for an Eye despite a parade of men knocking on my front door thinking they’d be the ones to dethrone me. Kenny, you may think you’re royalty but once that bell rings I’m gonna beat you like an everyday peasant.

We cut back to real time once the video wraps up to see Shelley standing on the middle ropes with his United States title raised high above his head. He hops down, hands the belt to The Ref then removes his entrance gear and his dog tags and proceeds to toss both out of the ring. With the two opponents standing on either side of him, The Ref, grasps The United States Championship in both hands, holds it in front of each man, King checks his reflection in it, while Shelley says “see you soon” then the ref raises it above his head, the crowd buzzing in anticipation. He hands it off, checks to see if both men are prepared, calls for the bell, and the match is officially underway!



With the crowd chanting Shelley’s name at near deafening levels, it would appear that the advantage resides with the champion, though you wouldn’t be able to tell that based on King’s mannerisms. He cockily walks up the champ, with everyone in the arena, in the world, against him, says that the title is going home with him to which Shelley responds with a slight chuckle before suddenly lunging for King’s legs just barely missing as King hops out of the way.

Shelley lunges once more, swiping at King’s legs then remains on his knees watching as his opponent does a couple of jumping jacks to illustrate how agile, loose and limber he is. Shelley gets back onto his feet and catches King off-guard with… a handshake offer!

King stares at Shelley’s hand with the electric crowd actually begging him to show some class for once in his life by accepting the champ’s hand thought the pretty-boy pitbull has other ideas. Instead, King attempts to recreate his triumph on Breakdown, aiming for Shelley’s head with a right hook. He misses as Shelley ducks under it then fires off three rapid forearm strikes to the face dazing King on his feet before kicking King hard on the quad dropping him to his knee where Shelley grabs him in a front face lock applying as much pressure as he can. Despite the hold, King works his way up to a vertical base where he manages to slip out of Shelley’s grasp while taking hold of Shelley’s right arm and twisting it painfully.

Shelley drops down to a knee as the pain threatens to overwhelm him, however, refusing to let King have control of the match for long, Shelley does a forward roll, resting on his ass, then spins until he’s facing King so that he can use his foot to break Kings’ grip on him. Shelley quickly takes hold of King’s left arm as he gets to his feet, turning the tables on his challenger who now finds himself in considerable pain. King does a forward roll of his own then kips up trying to 1-up Shelley as far as style is concerned, but Shelley is unimpressed and quickly kicks out King’s legs from under him sending him falling back first onto the mat.

The champ presses his left knee into that left bicep of King, bending his arm at an awkward looking angle forcing King to desperately reach over his body to claw at Shelley’s eyes though it’s not enough to get Shelley to relinquish his grip. The Ref starts his five count, threatening to disqualify King for his blatantly dirty move and he finally moves his hand away just before The Ref shouts out five. Immediately after King goes for the eyes once more trying to blind Shelley who doesn’t bother waiting for The Ref to start counting, leaping into the air dropping his knee onto King’s left bicep.

King gets to his feet favoring his arm as he leans against the ropes. Shelley grabs his left hand failing to shoot King off with an Irish Whip because King is holding onto the top rope with his other hand, though it’s only a momentary hindrance as Shelley elbows King’s left arm, the momentary sharp pain causing him to let go of the ropes so that Shelley can send him running across the ring. On the rebound King knocks Shelley onto his back with a huge shoulder block and his gloating his preceded by a wince while he shakes the cobwebs out of his left arm. He races over to the ropes, Shelley flips onto his stomach, King steps over him continuing to the other side of the ring.

Shelley quickly takes King down with an arm drag, King gets up right away only to be taken by a second one and this time Shelley gets the arm he’s looking for and immediately transitions into an arm bar going back to work on that left arm. Even though his shoulder could be torn out of his socket at any moment, King refuses to give up, telling The Ref to get the hell out of his face when asked if he wants to submit. With so much on the line, King uses his legs to push off the mat until he finally gets close enough to the ropes to grab them with his right hand.

Letting go at The Ref’s request, Shelley backs away, watching as King gets up clutching his left arm. Shelley takes a step towards King who spits in his face, then has the audacity to laugh at his act of disrespect. Angered, Shelley charges forward unleashing a flurry of rights and lefts clobbering away at King while the fans break out in a loud chant of the champs name doing what they can to will their hero to victory. King wisely steps partly out of The Ring, which forces The Ref to back an enraged Shelley away from his egotistical opponent which proves to be beneficial to King who races forward catching Shelley right in the face with a single leg kick.

A dazed Shelley rises to his feet and charges at King who lifts him into the air before slamming him down with a vicious spinebuster that causes the back of Shelley’s to sickeningly bounce off the mat. King holds Shelley in place in the first pin attempt of the match but doesn’t even get a two count. When Shelley gets up, King lifts him into the air for a suplex then walks Shelley over to the ropes and drops him gut first on the top rope then immediately drives his knee into the side of Shelley’s head. Shelley flops back into the ring, King covers him only for the two count to evade him once more.

This time King doesn’t allow Shelley to get to his feet on his own, forcefully pulling the champ to his feet before sending Shelley running to the other side of the ring. King bends over for the back body drop and waits there for a second until he looks up to see that Shelley has hung onto the ropes. King goes after him, gets kicked in the face for his trouble yet he’s able to recover fast enough to reverse Shelley’s supelx then land behind him quickly going for a german suplex and drops Shelley on his head which no doubt affected his surgically repaired neck.

Shelley rolls back onto his feet staggers backwards into the ropes and this time he has no answer when King dashes over, nearly decapitating him with a clothesline that knocks Shelley over the top rope.  Shelley ends up on the apron, blocks an incoming right-handed punch from King, pulls King towards him so that he can nail him with a headbutt. Shelley quickly reaches over the top rope to grab King’s left arm as he staggers back then drapes it over the top rope with a stun gun. King drops to his knees holding his arm while Shelley sprinboards off the top rope gets crazy air giving the dropkick to the back an even bigger impact.

King falls forward onto the mat where doesn’t even get a moment to rest as Shelley, seemingly obsessed with that limb, grabs Kings arm and locks in a fujiwara armbar! The crowd is begging King to tap so that this match can be over and done with though they may not be realizing that he just might be willing to sacrifice his arm to become a champion in this company so early in his young career. It would establish him as one of the top names of this company and catapult him to bigger and higher profile things and it’s that knowledge that makes King grit his teeth, enduring what must be incredible pain to an already softened limb, and slide his lower body over to the ropes until he finally gets his boot on the bottom tope to the dismay of the crowd.

Shelley breaks the hold while King rolls onto the apron to give himself some space and buy himself some time, time Shelley won’t allow him to get as the champion begins stalking his challenger waiting for him to stand up, then he races over to the adjacent set of ropes and nails King with the triangle dropkick knocking him onto the thin padding that rests on the ground outside of the ring.

Feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins, Shelley begins bouncing on his feet, dying for King to get back to a vertical vase. The thousands packed into the arena are cheering their heads off, eagerly anticipating the move to come, a maneuver that can set Shelley on the fast-track to retaining his championship. King being halfway up to his feet is good enough for Shelley who rebounds off the ropes gathering a head of steam then dives through the ropes and finds out the hard way as he crashes chest first into the unforgiving barricade that King was playing possum.

There’s a collective groan from the people who may have just witnessed Shelley crack a couple of ribs during that collision with what might as well have been a brick wall. King adds insults to injury, dropping Shelley back first onto the barricade with a belly to back suplex! He leaves Shelley precariously balanced on the barricade, jumps onto the apron then back onto Shelley with a senton! King’s momentum carries him into the territory of the hostile fans who would love nothing more than to get their hands on this prick though security is making that pretty difficult.

The people have no choice but to watch helplessly as King throws Shelley recklessly over the barricade and he drops to the ground with an unsettling thud. King leaves him there on the ground, opting instead to restart The Ref’s count so that the game outside of The Ring can continue for just a little longer. Shelley as worked his way to his feet, hitting King with a forearm to the face, King returns the favor with a sharp knee to the gut that doubles Shelley over leaving him in prime position for King to hoist him up into the air and throw him into the ring post with a powerbomb! Shelley’s back… his head, his spine all took the brunt of that blow that has left him in a heap on the floor. King throws up his arms, proud of this sickening display of viciousness, drawing nothing but heat and hatred for the crowd who isn’t afraid to let him know that they think he sucks.

Undeterred by their chants, King arrogantly pushes the sole of his boot against Shelley’s face then he squats down so that Shelley can look him in the eyes when he delivers a sharp stinging slap across the cheek. Shelley manages to work his way onto his knees where he drives his head into King’s gut, King hits back with a huge punch that knocks Shelley dizzy and he almost falls in slow motion onto the ground. With The Ref’s count at 6, King drives Shelley back first into the apron, quickly slips behind him and slams him down with a back suplex onto the apron before rolling Shelley back into the ring.

King bounces onto the apron with smile on his face no doubt thinking that this next move will be the one that secures him The United States Championship. Shelley slowly rises to his feet, turns around, takes down the springboarding King by the left arm locking in the Border City Stretch! All of a sudden Shelley is back in control of the match to the delight of the fans who are suddenly back into this match chanting Shelley’s name at such a volume you’d think they believe the sheer magnitude of their collective voices along with the immense pain Shelley is distributing will be all it takes to force King to submit right now.

But King is a fighter and for what feels like the hundredth time this match, he finds himself in a mad scramble for the ropes. He gets lucky as he catches Shelley leaning back to far and King is able to move and shift his weight turning the submission into a pin attempt! Shelley kicks out at two, the two men get to their feet and before Shelley can react King charges with a monstrous lariat that turns Shelley inside out. In the heat of the moment, King used his bad left arm leaving him grimacing in pain as he knee-walks over to Shelley to make the pin.

Shelley kicks out! King sits up and gives The Ref the stink eye tough just by listening to their cheers you can clearly tell that the crowd isn’t sharing his feeling of disappointment. In fact, they break out into a chant of Shelley’s name just to remind King who’s side they’re on but they couldn’t have foreseen how that would have set him off and now it’s too late to take back their words as King gets to his feet, eyes locked on the fallen Shelley then begins stomping away viciously at Shelley, switches to a rapid succession of knee drops, then leaps high into the air, dropping his leg across Shelley’s throat all before going for another pin:

Shelley refuses to get down and the frustration of coming so close time after time to becoming the new champion is evident now more than before on King’s face. Shelley works his way to his feet only to be immediately snatched up by King then flung into the corner with a northern lights suplex. King gets up to hook Shelley’s legs so that he’s stuck into a tree of woe position, then walks casually over to the other side of the ring like he has this thing in the bag. He races to the other side of the ring, missing the cannonball as Shelley sits up on the top rope. It takes a while but he manages to gain his footing while turning himself around but King shows his athleticism by leaping up effortlessly to the top rope though Shelley immediately pushes him back off. King does a handspring backflip and while the crowd is still in awe, King follows that up with a beautiful tornado kick that hits its mark! The blow knocks Shelley senseless, and the people watch as he first drops off the turnbuckles onto the apron and the onto the ground.

Everyone looks concerned as Shelley takes nasty fall after nasty fall, that is every one excepts one person, Kenny King. With a smirk on his face he exits the ring to retrieve Shelley then rolls him back into the ring. The smile is wiped off of King’s face as Shelley continues to roll until he drops out on the other side of the ring. With his expression looking more along the lines of annoyance, King drops down off the apron and walks around the other side of the ring to see Shelley just lying there only able to buy himself a couple of seconds to recover from the massive amount of damage he’s suffered at the hands of King thus far. King shakes his head shouting that Shelley can only run for so long before getting him back inside of the ring only for Shelley to merely  to once again roll until he drops down on the other side of the ring. Growing tired of Shelley’s games, King walks briskly around the ring itching to make the champ pay for wasting his time but there’s no one there!

King only has a second to be confused because the roar of the crowd means that something big is on his way and King turns around as Shelley flies through the ropes, taking him out with a huge suicide dive! Both men are out cold, Shelley’s surprise attack taking as much out him as it did King, but the champ is showing why he’s achieved all the success he has refusing to remain on the ground. He pulls King to his feet then shoots him off into the steel stairs with so much force that when King hits it with his left shoulder the top half goes flying off. Shelley falls to his knees, clearly not having much left in the tank, but The Ref’s count reaching eight forces him to get up and into the ring. The Ref’s count hits nine, for a second it looks as if Shelley would be content ending things right here with a count out, but that’s not his style and just before The Ref barks out ten, Shelley rolls back out of the ring.

Shelley walks over to King, stomps on the fingers of his left hand before pulling up to his feet so that he can deliver a sharp chop lighting up King’s chest. King fires back right a punch to the face, Shelley responds in kind with a forearm then quickly grabs King’s left arm and slams it into the ring post.  King howls in pain as he falls to his knees, Shelley keeps that pain coming, pulling King up and slamming his arm into the post once more after which King wisely staggers away before Shelley can go for the trifecta.

With a burst of energy, King lifts Shelley into the air with his good arm then lets him drop onto the barricade chest first with a flap jack! The barricade has been good to King throughout this match and this time it has brought a few precious seconds to evaluate his health and determine whether or not his arm will be of any use to him for the remainder of this championship battle. The Ref’s count is dangerously close to ten, lighting a fire under King’s ass to quickly walk Shelley into the ring and slide him under the bottom rope. King gets onto the apron, gets one foot into the ring when Shelley rears back and connects with a mule kick of sorts to King’s face then rolls him up while he’s dazed:

King just breaks free of Shelley’s small package before The Ref’s hand could slap the mat for the third time and instead it’s Shelley who slaps the mat three times as he sits up to ask The Ref if that really wasn’t the end and The Ref shakes his head no while crowd buzzes in the background. Shelley gets up and signals for the end of the match, watching intently as King stands. After nailing a side kick to the gut, Shelley races over to the turnbuckles with Sliced Bread No. 2 on his mind, but King flips Shelley over him and the champ lands on his feet, goes for a clothesline that King ducks under. Shelley turns around and takes a step out of the corner just as King races forward and drives both of his knees into Shelley’s chest with such force that it knocks him back into the corner. Shelley falls to the ground where King covers him with hopes that this will be the end:

A boot on the ropes stops the count! King quickly pulls Shelley into the center of the ring then tries the pin again:

An emphatic kick out! King can’t believe it but the fans couldn’t be happier. They applaud, doing everything they can to will the champion to a successful retention, but it’s Shelley that’s going to have to find a way to overcome King’s onslaught to stand a chance going forward. King is beyond furious, from the fans giving him grief to Shelley refusing to stay down nothing seem to be going his way and near his breaking point he gets to his feet, walks over The Ref shouting at the top of his lungs that he should be celebrating his victory by now. King follows Ref until he’s backed into the ropes and for a moment it looks like he might actually snap and attack the official thus costing himself the match but before it can come to that, Shelley rolls him up from behind in a school boy:

Shelley rolls King onto his knees leaving him exposed for a vicious roundhouse kick that may have very well knocked him out cold. Shelley doesn’t go for the pin, instead pulling King up and going for Automatic Midnight! King manages to wriggle free form Shelley’s grasp and gets him with a sunset flip:

Shelley kicks out, rolling backwards onto his feet and clobbers his opponent with a forearm once he’s up dazing him long enough to perform a backpack stunner! Shelley gets up, races over to the ropes, springboards into the air then lands on King with the lionsault!

It’s not over! Shelley slowly gets up with King doing what he can to get back to a vertical stance as well. Shelley goes for a suplex but it’s blocked by King who’s able to hoist Shelley into the air but that’s as far as he can take the move as Shelley’s able to land behind him, pushes him into the ropes and just misses King who dives between his legs. Shelley turns around, catches King’s boot before it could strike him in the gut then he tosses the boot down but King uses the momentum to do a handstand and he kicks Shelley on the side of the head with his other foot! Clearly shaken, Shelley has a case of weak knees but before he can fall, King lifts him over his shoulder then throws him down hard with a powerslam! Shelley’s back has taken so much damage that this could very well be the move that finally puts him away, though instead of going for the pin King pulls Shelley to his feet to hit a pendulum backbreaker then leaves Shelley draped over his knee as he transitions into a painful looking submission hold.

King pushes down on Shelley’s chin and thigh, willing to break a man’s spine and paralyze him if it means becoming a champion. Wisely, Shelley uses the leg that King isn’t holding down and kicks at his left arm effectively breaking the hold. On their knees, Shelley and King begin trading punches, stiff blows that could break a jaw or at least knock out a tooth if it hits that sweet spot. With every strike Shelley hits the crowd shouts yay while King receives a resound boo with every punch he connects with.

Back and forth they go like this, holding onto each other while they simultaneously work their way to their feet. The stronger King with the heavier hands starts to get the best of Shelley until Shelley again lashes out with a roundhouse kick that nails King on the left arm that is now just hanging limply at his side, then Shelley drops him with Shellshock! That could be the move that ends things once and for all, but Shelley doesn’t even bother going for the pin. He feels he needs more than that to get King out of life and with the people chanting his name with all their hearts he definitely has the motivation to go above and beyond to win this match.

Shelley walks over to the corner, makes his way to the top then slowly straightening up, he takes in the moment before leaping off with the frog splash! King gets his knees up then rolls Shelley up:

Shelley’s right arm defiantly shoots into the air! King rolls off Shelley and just lays there with his face buried into the mat desperately trying to think of the move that will finish off his opponent. After getting up, he takes Shelley by the legs and catapults him into the corner! Shelley may have struck the top of the ring post head first and now he just stands there slumped against the corner helpless to defend himself when King hoists him onto the top rope. The crowd gets to their feet, holding their breath as they watch King climb up behind Shelley, preparing to deliver the fatal blow. Realizing that the next devastating drop from a high place could be his last, Shelley starts fighting back, frantically and with everything he says and seeing him show some signs of life awakens the fans who start making a whole heap of noise.

King finally stops putting up a fight putting Shelley in firm control who accepts that there may be nowhere to go but down so he grabs King, does a backflip and hits the sliced bread off the top rope! There’s a massive pop from the crowd in response to an equally as massive maneuver but they quiet down when Shelley is unable to immediately capitalize and unable to stop King from rolling out of the ring where he can’t be pinned! You can almost hear the sound of thousands of hearts breaking because that may have very well been Shelley’s best chance and now it’s gone.

On his stomach, Shelley stares at the spot where King was just seconds prior a distraught look on his face, but then he smiles knowing that King pulled a page out his book from earlier in the match. Shelley rolls under the bottom rope and rolls King’s limp body back into the ring. Shelley right behind and he goes for the pin:

Kick out! Shelley rolls off King and places his hands over his face while he bangs his feet on the mat. Shelley gets up, pulls King to his feet then shoots him off into the corner. Shelley races after him and gets a mouthful of boot before stumbling out of the corner while King hops onto the middle rope. Diving off, King connects with a hurricanrana! Shelley doesn’t spend too much time on his back and he shadows King who ran to the ropes and Shelley hits him with a knee to the gut. Shelley races to the other side of the ring but this time it’s time who does the shadowing in and he connects with a bicycle kick, leaving his foot draped across the top tope for added emphasis which does nothing but draw the ire of the people.

After that hit it doesn’t seem as though Shelley knows where he is as he struggling to get to his feet so King helps him out then lifts him onto his shoulders, he’s going for the Royal Flush! Shelley rapidly drives the point of his elbow into King’s left shoulder blade and even when King collapses to the ground with Shelley on top of him, Shelley continues the barrage showing absolutely no mercy until he finally gets to his feet with a scream. Shelley lifts King onto his shoulder in a fireman’s carry then he crosses his legs... is he going for Cradle Shock in his desperation? It doesn’t matter as King reaches down, rakes Shelley’s eyes making the champ drop him and before Shelly can react, King lifts him into the air with a full nelson then drops him onto his knee with a vicious backbreaker!

King quickly pulls Shelley back up and onto his shoulder with a fireman’s carry, then throws him off his shoulders slamming him down with a rock bottom like move… it’s The Royal Flush! The match is over! Or at least it would be but King used his left arm to deliver to huge slam and now he’s paying for it as wave after wave of excruciating pain shoots up and down the damaged limb. King howls in pain while he rolls around clutching his left arm but after a couple of seconds it looks like the pain his at bearable enough for him to crawl over to Shelley to make the pin:

No! Shelley kicks out! Even the fans seem surprised, but it’s a pleasant one as they get behind Shelley to turn the match around. The look on King’s face says it all, he’s in pain, he’s in shock and he’s in anger and it’s all because of the man lying next to him. Thinking maybe the pick out was pure instinct, King gets back on top of Shelley to make the pin:

It pure heart! Shelley refuses to stay down and King has to be searching through his mind thinking about what to do next. As the perfect moves comes to his mind, King drags Shelley to the center of the ring then pulls him to his feet, hits Shelley with a spinning back kick, then races to the ropes where on the rebound Shelley connects with a superkick out of nowhere! The moves leaves King dazed on his feet, Shelley seizes the opportunity and with the last bit of energy he can muster he springboards, then spikes King’s skull into the mat with a tornado DDT!

Shelley can’t even make the pin leaving both men just lying there on the mat while the people cheer and The Ref begins his ten-count. Shelley crawls over to the corner heavily favoring his back but he absolutely refuses to allow that to stop him from making his way to the top. A healthier Shelley would have made it up a long time ago and the delay allows for King to make his way back to his feet though luckily for Shelley, he still looks pretty out of it. Shelley flips him off, then dives off for a crossbody …. King pulls The Ref into harm’s way!

Everyone in the arena is pissed off that King would pull such a dirty move, and they watch as he rolls onto the apron while Shelley gets off The Ref with a look of horror on his face. He tries to wake him up while mouthing apologies but it’s not likely he’s heard. Realizing King’s nowhere to be seen, Shelley turns just in time to get hit with a springboard blockbuster!

The boos are coming in stronger as a mischievous grin creeps onto King’s face before he rolls out of the ring to grab a chair! He pauses to look at the United States Championship then snaps the chair shut and gets back into the ring. The Ref is still down though Shelley is on his knees watching as King towers above him with a cheer in hand. King starts to bring it down when Shelley spits in his face!

King pauses to wipe the glob off and when he raises the chair in the air again, Shelley hops to his feet and hits an enzuigiri, striking the side of King’s raised left arm! He immediately drops the chair and crumbles to his knees and after a moment of thought Shelley grabs the chair and delivers two massive strikes to King’s back! There’s a giant roar from the crowd at Shelley’s preemptive strike, clearly they felt King  deserved it and as The Ref begins to stir, Shelley throws the chair out of the ring and makes his way to the top. After a long journey, Shelley doesn’t hesitate to leap off hitting a huge frog splash! Shelley flips King onto his back and pins him. The Ref slowly drags himself over and the entire arena counts along with him:

2






3!  













It’s finally over! These men gave it everything they had, but an attempt to bend the rules backfired and ultimately was the difference between being champion and not. The people in the arena give Alex Shelley a standing ovation after yet another hard fought title defense where it looked like his reign would be coming to an untimely end on several occasions.

He managed to battle through King’s onslaught and now he can smile as he’s handed his United States Championship. The Ref is still a bit sore and shaken up and Shelley asks if he’s okay before his hand is raised victoriously into the air. Shelley walks gingerly over to the corner and climbs onto the second rope where he raises his championship proudly into the air to the delight of his fans. They break out in a chant of his name and Shelley thanks them for their support then he…

Low blow from King! The cheers dissolve immediately, replaced by pure hatred and malice directed towards King. As the bell rings repeatedly, The Ref asks what King’s problem is and in response King shouts over and over that Shelley cheated even pointing the chair outside of the ring but The Ref maintains he didn’t see anything.

Not satisfied with his response, King rocks him with a stiff punch to the face garnering even more heat from the crowd. As Shelley clutches his groin on the groin, King snatches up the dropped US Championship and shouts that it should be his before striking Shelley on the side of the head with it and the champ collapses right there.



The boos don’t stop as King throws down the championship in disgust and shouts that things aren’t over. Exiting in the ring, and walking up the ramp King shouts over and over that Shelley is a cheater. Pausing on the stage and holding his arm, King says threateningly that he’ll be back to take what’s rightfully his.

[Renee Young]
Thanks for joining me, Corey. Now for the past few weeks you've been on a bit of a wining streak, ,which continued earlier tonight when You and the West Side Army defeated the British Invasion. Do you think you've finally hit your prime here in XWL?


[Corey Graves]
You're right , I have been on a winning streak. I've beat former a World Champion, I've beat the current United States Champion. Hell, I even beat a man who's in the elimination chamber... Do you think it's fair? Do you think it's fair that I beat him clean in the middle of that ring, but he still gets the spot inside that chamber? You see, No matter what XWL Management still don't want to notice me, they still don't want to notice the West Side Army. Why isn't Amazing Red in that chamber? Time after time people like Me, people like amazing Red are held back, They higher ups don't us to be a success so they do whatever they can to keep us back. It's been the same my whole career, but now I'm not going to let it happen. I'm going to force Hulk Hogan, I'm going to force the board of directors to give me a title opportunity,  They can only ignore me for so long.



[Corey Graves]
I'm a man that keeps my promises, Dean Ambrose will find out about that soon enough, Hulk Hogan will find out about it soon enough. I'm sick and tired of being treated like I'm nothing, It's about time I get what I deserve. Do you think Drew McIntyre deserves a title shot more than me? Do you think  Kenny King deserves a title shot more than me? Especially when I did what he couldn't and defeat Alex Shelley. Since XWL and Hulk Hogan, won't do it the easy way.. Maybe I'll make them do it the hard way? I will show to them they made a mistake by not putting me or Amazing Red inside that chamber. But before I get to that, I have a piece of business I need to take care of.


[Corey Graves]
Dean Ambrose, I told you I would get my revenge on you. and I'm a man of my word... Ever since you stabbed me in the back when I helped you in Men of Honor, thats right I didn't need you, you needed me just like you needed AJ Styles, just like you needed The Shield. And What's happened to the Shield now, Dean? Who is there to have your back now? You're alone, Dean. There's nobody to keep you safe anymore. I promised my revenge, and I will get that revenge... Maybe it will be next week on Breakdown, Maybe it will be a month from now at The Monsters Bash? I'm just waiting... waiting for the right moment. When will it be? That's the question you have to ask yourself.... But I promise.. it's coming soon.


Graves smirks at the camera, and walks off.

Interviewer
Tonight you're going up against the Human Wrecking Ball, The Monster of the West Side Army, The Machine… The Ryback. Aren't you at all worried? I mean after all, how long has it been since you've been in the ring?

Matt Striker
On Television? Oh jeez, a long time. But that doesn't stop me from lacing up my boots and wresting when the camera's off. I love wrestling. I love every part of it from the announcing to the interviewing to the psychology, and especially to, the wrestling. So yeah, I might be rusty in all of your eyes, but I've been keeping in shape, I've been practicing moves, I'm more than ring ready. The Ryback's been wrestling for a long time just like me, but the difference between the two of us is that I've been a professional for a long time. I've got a whole bag full of moves, tips, and tricks that I've learned from the best of the best. Tonight, I'm more than ready for The Ryback. But there's no way that The Ryback is ready for me.

Interviewer
What do you think about your two teammates? Primo and Epico?

Matt Striker
After what The Ryback did to Carlito they deserve their revenge on The Ryback. I know what it's like to be too small, I'm not going to let that stop them from giving The Ryback what he has coming to him. I'm hoping to learn a thing or two from them, after all they come from a wrestling family, but at the same time I'd like to think that they will be able to learn a couple things from me, as many before them has.

Interviewer
Well you are The Teacher! Is this the last that we will see of Matt Striker in the ring? That is if you make it past The Ryback.

Matt Striker
I don't know man. That's a good question. I guess we'll see after tonight. Thanks for the quick interview, you're pretty good at what you do, I can give you some pointers later on how to be even better at it after the show. I've got a match to prepare for.

*We return from the previous segment to the announce table.



{Jim Ross}
Tonight we could witness one of the greatest single account of overcoming the odds in XWL history, as Alberto Del Rio will compete in two of wrestling's most grueling and physically demanding contests. He is competing in the Elimination Chamber for the right to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion and he will be surrounded by the flames of oblivion, in an Inferno match, against his bitter rival, his sworn enemy Kane.

{Michael Cole}
Let's not get ahead of ourselves J.R. he could easily lose both matches and have one of the most disappointing nights in XWL history as well! As a matter of fact, I GUARANTEE Alberto Del Rio loses both his matches here this evening and walks into the Breakdown with nothing but a destroyed body and ego.

{Jerry Lawler}
Really Cole? How about some optimism? If anyone could pull something like this off why not Alberto? He's done everything in his power to protect Ricardo and.....

{Michael Cole}
And he got his neck broke! Alberto has not been able to stop this monster or protect anyone! He beat him last month but aside from that, what? He threw fire in a psychopath's face? Both these men are playing head games and I say Kane's won,regardless of the result of the Inferno match because now Del Rio risks his opportunity at the No. Contendership for personal vengeance!

{Jim Ross}
Before things out here get any more debate like, lets cut to an interview with Alberto Del Rio recorded earlier in the day.

*The camera fades from their table to Alberto Del Rio standing backstage.



{Interviewer}
Alberto, tonight is arguably the biggest night of your career. You get the chance to finally take care of your personal demon in the form of Kane, the man that's been haunting you and your best friend Ricardo for months, but it's in his signature match, an Inferno match and in addition to that you are competing in the Elimination Chamber a.k.a "The Devil's Playground". How have you been preparing for this evening?

*Del Rio chuckles before answering.

{Alberto Del Rio}
For tonight? There is nothing anyone could do physically to prepare for what I'm about to go through. Mentally? I'm always prepared to do whats necessary for any given night, it just so happens that tonight is going to cause me to hurt a little more in the morning. I don't plan on anything other than victory tonight, and the same goes for The Monster Bash. I've been treading water for too long here in XWL and I change that tonight, through chain and fire Alberto Del Rio will rise to the top of XWL and become champion. I have spit on the name of these people and looked at them as peasants for far too long, they are the same as me and they deserve to be credited for my success as much as I do, and as much as Ricardo does. It took a psychopath pushing me to the brink of insanity for me to realize this but finally I've come to my senses. Fear provided me clarity into what it would take for me to succeed against this evil and what it will take is passion, these people along with my goals fuel that passion.



{Alberto Del Rio}
Kane, you aren't a monster, a demon, you are just a man and men's bones can be broken, their flesh can be burned. I don't fear the pain to come tonight, I don't fear you tonto, as a matter of fact I feel sorry for you. Living a life in which you're only satisfaction comes from pain is a dark, triste existence but I will help you reach that point of fulfillment tonight when I snap your arm and throw you into the depths of your home! I will defeat you in the match you've made infamous, the match where you've maimed many a men and whether I have to take you with me or I send there myself you'll see hell. Tonight, I will give you pain, a pain you will never forget. Tonight, I exorcise my demon, I exorcise YOU Kane and I won't look back.

*The interviewer tries asking another question but Del Rio keeps going, although with a calmer demeanor.



{Alberto Del Rio}
Then, when I finish with you I move on to my first World title match since my war with The Rock. Since I came up short time and time again in Falls Count Anywhere, Two out of Three falls, Iron Man, my first Elimination Chamber, but finally my shot at retribution has come and I don't plan on disappointing....

{Interviewer}
Don't you have to win this Chamber first?

{Alberto Del Rio}
I plan on it. As should all my fans, and the fans of the other participants in this match. As per usual why don't I run through the men I'll be facing tonight, that always seems to be the right thing to do.....Let's start with Chris Sabin. This man has been hell bent on proving himself as a solo competitor and although he keeps coming up just short he's earned my respect because he does not quit. He keeps pushing and grinding and now he's got his biggest shot yet lined up once he walks into the Chamber and in any other situation I'd wish him luck but tonight, in this specific match he has to beat me and that just won't happen. Up next, is Kevin Steen, a maniac in his own right. He has no sense of respect for anything other than himself and is a human wrecking ball....destroying anything in his path without prejudice, doing it with unrivaled conviction. His plan is to hit everything then hit it harder, break everything then break it more, but that won't be enough because I'll be right there to slow his war path down and then finish him off.



{Alberto Del Rio}
Then you have the The Miz, the most must see herramienta in XWL today. He's got habilidades in the ring but doesn't have that same talento to control his ego, just ask these people as they have to sit through his continued boring talk show week in and week out. I fell victim to the same thing but have since overcome it and will make sure that he's the one who will be tapping out, not me. Austin Aries, the self proclaimed "Greatest Man to Have Ever Lived" but I think I will have to contest that amigo. You don't have the cars, the class, and the charm of Alberto Del Rio. Usually bragging like this is communicated with my in ring talents but with a moniker like that I have to pull out all my good qualities to show you that Alberto Del Rio, not Austin Aries is the "El hombre más grande que jamás haya vivido" and the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! Last but not least we have the underdog, the dark horse of the match, Colt Cabana. He competes like every match is his last, and although didn't win to get in this match he impressed Hulk Hogan enough to get one of these coveted spots. He has talent and drive and that alone could push him over in this match, that is if I wasn't in his way this evening. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to start getting ready for tonight.

{Interviewer}
Good luck Alberto.

{Alberto Del Rio}
Thank you very much, pero yo no lo necesito.

*Alberto Del Rio turns from the camera and walks down the corridor before turning into a room. The camera fades to the next segment.

Opening With Brad Maddox Was a nice introduction to the Eye for an Eye event as well as a nice introduction to one of XWL's newest superstars, Brad Maddox. The idea that you had thought of to bring in Maddox, I found it to be pretty clever. It is looking to be basically what WWE did with Maddox with him doing whatever to get on TV but you are adding your own twist to it. The ending itself was funny as well with JR and Lawler coming out with security guards chasing Maddox out of the arena from what I can assume. I'm really looking forward to seeing what else you have planned for Maddox to bring him into the XWL Scene.

The Last Young And The Hairless The question remains, is Don West a manager by day and stalker by night? Pretty creepy start to the promo, gotta say that. And then Cesaro coming through a window, without his wig, and I don't even anymore. And then after some talking, Amazing Red burst out of the bathroom with a British Accent... Well... That is differently creative I must say. Without a doubt, this promo is different then most promos you'd see in a good way. Favorite part would have to be Shawn freaking out when he finds Don West in bed. I don't know why, but that just got a slight chuckle out of me.

Coming Soon To A Ring Near You Not exactly a ton to say with this, but here I go. Looking forward to seeing what you do as Adrian Neville. Not only is Adrian Neville awesome on his own, but he is also a fresh face to the scene of XWL. Also just wanted to say that is some nice editing on the hype video, considering you said you made it yourself.

Layla Parts At The End Of My Promo Reviewing this just because David typed up these parts so figured I'd give it a little love. I really like the mood David set up for this, Layla being all happy and what not while Kaitlyn is still unsure if she can really trust Layla. My favorite part of this was David's idea in which just so happened to be Kaitlyn's reply to Layla following her saying 'Good Luck.' Really sets the tone for Kaitlyn not trusting Layla still and I guess tonight may be the night the charade is over, David. No more hiding behind a mask for you.

Dean Ambrose With His Bloody Wall Legal never fails to disappoint when it comes to a Dean Ambrose promo. I'll be the first to admit, I'm glad he is on his own now. Some nice reasoning on why he turned on The Shield as well as talking about some his past with other alliances he has made. Ambrose going on to talk about his plan of not having a plan yet he plans to put Van Dam in a hospital bed when the match is done. My favorite part has to be the closing lines where Ambrose says that Van Dam's blood will join his wall of blood as well as the immortality stuff. Good promo as usual, was a pleasure feuding with Dean Ambrose even though some plans got fucked due to Shield falling through so suddenly.

MsChif And Her Being All Mysterious A lot of good details were placed into this promo, made it a lot more interesting to read through it. Wanted to say this real fast, but if this isn't at least a runner up for Promo of the PPV then I'll honestly be a little surprised. Was really good yet mysterious and actually made you want to continue to read it as it went on. At parts I was a little confused, haven't followed MsChif a whole lot so that may be why but I still got the gist of the entire promo and the message you are trying to put across. My favorite part of the promo, which is my favorite part of most of your promos, is the little poem at the end followed by the scream. Not sure if you make them or find them, but they are creative and different which makes them stand out.

Jerry Attacking Jerry In A Jerry Promo I've gotta say, the way you approached this is a little weird. Having one of your people get owned so your other person can look better. If you can make it work, then go right on ahead and do it, just seems a little odd to me. It was written good though and it was a nice way to bring Matt Striker into action. I'll probably be looking to see what exactly do you come up with when it comes to this match, considering one of your people may have to lose. Favorite part of this was Epico charging at Ryback and Ryback just owning him and calling him stupid. Not sure if it's just me, but I always found that to be funny about Ryback in XWL and real life.

Kenny King Pre-Match Segment With A Little Shelley Was a nice little segment, showing that Kenny King is pretty damn confident going into his match against Alex Shelley. Tough break by the way, but you can't win them all. Maybe next time? Only time will tell, but back to the little segment. It was on the shorter side, but it still had good enough quality to get the point across that he means business. And for Shelley, him being pretty confident in his own right, making a point that he is the United States Champion for a reason. Also making a point that sure, he may be a guy who can't be taken too serious outside the ring but you should take him serious outside the ring. Favorite part of the segment was Shelley saying "Sure, I like to crack... an everyday peasant." Found that too be really impactful and cleaver at the same time.

Corey Graves Segm- Damn Renee Young Is Hot Starting the interview off, raising some good points about how he should be getting rewarded for what he's done. Defeating champions, challengers and some of the top stars of XWL right now. Some really good points being made, should be interesting if you are going to have this lead to somewhere or what. Firing some shots at Dean Ambrose, Alex Shelley and Kenny King, making it clear that he isn't here to make a ton of friends. Favorite part of this promo was a tie between the start and the end. I liked the start, bringing up the points like I mentioned before. But I like the ending with Corey Graves talking about his revenge and how it's coming soon.

The Interviewer, Matt Striker, Gets Interviewed Another shorter segment, but the message that you sent was effective still. Striker being all nervous considering this is the first time getting in a XWL in ring in like... forever, if I'm correct. Striker starting to take the 'hero' like role by standing up to the bully of the playground. Like I said before, it should be interesting to see how you approach this considering one of your people will probably have to lose. Favorite part of this segment was probably the end with Striker being a little unsure if he will even make it past Ryback.

Alberto Del Rio And His Doing Double Duty Tonight Talking about this being the biggest night of his career and all, possible chance of becoming number one contender for the World Championship while also getting to beat his long time rival, Kane. Was a nice promo and a good read, despite me not liking Del Rio at all in real life, it's still nice to see someone good play him. Del Rio is making it clear that he isn't afraid of Kane in anyway, stop buying into the fact he isn't a monster or anything and plans on dealing with him like he does with everyone else. And up next, running through all the chamber participants that he'll be facing here tonight. Starting with Sabin and ending it off with Cabana, it was a nice run through. My favorite part was sadly removed from this promo because fuck you Seme.

The titantron lights up and the crowd goes nuts as Cena appears on the titantron but the cheering soon dies down as they begin to realise that he's sat in his hotel room rather than in the building.



John Cena
Hustle; to move or act energetically and rapidly. Loyalty; a strong feeling of support or allegiance. Respect; a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities or achievements. These three words are the words that I used to build my career. Whenever I stepped out into the arena, everyone in the audience, all the superstars in the back, the management, the board of directors, the commentators, the ring announcers, hell even sister Abigail knew that I was going to keep true to those three words. Putting all my effort into doing what I had to do, working harder than anyone else to get my job done quickly and efficiently. Fighting against not only my opponents, but most of the crowd to earn the respect that I deserved, all the while staying loyal to my fans, whether they loved me or they hated me. For almost a decade I've lived up to those words, it's a tradition that I've always taken seriously...

The camera zooms in on Cena.



John Cena
Seven long years ago, I was on top of the world. Fighting for the World's largest Wrestling Entertainment company, sitting on top of their hierarchy as the poster boy, holding their championship more times than I can even remember, I was right where I wanted to be, a main event star in the WWE! I wasn't always loved, but I was always respected. Whether I was fighting with Randy Orton, Edge or even Triple H, the respect was there, I felt it. I was living my dream. Most of the time I was finding myself not wanting to leave work, to keep going for as long as I possibly could, back then I wouldn't even let an injury get in my way of competing. WWE gave me everything I could have possibly asked for and more. They believed me, they gave me an opportunity of a life time and I grabbed onto it with both hands, clutching onto it with my life, I gave it my best shot. They set me up for the rest of my career, I was more than happy to continue working for them until it came to the time that I was ready to retire.. but that couldn't happen.



John Cena
A new company started making waves in the wrestling industry, and just like that WWE started to lose its appeal. Superstars just like me who dedicated their whole lives to them were leaving them behind without a care in the world. This new company was taking over, with a better financial standing they swooped in and they stole most of, if not all of WWE's talent. With this new force sitting on top of the food chain, it wasn't long before most of their competition became a thing of the past. WWE was killed and XWL was born. I was devastated. Throughout my time with them, I would never have imagined that they could be overshadowed like they were, let alone surpassed and thrown into the past as if they never even existed. I wasn't happy that this new company had ruined everything I worked hard for, but I had to keep making a living for myself, I needed to feed the desire to wrestle, to entertain, and I had no other choice but to sign a contract.



John Cena
For over four years now I've been an XWL Superstar, but it just doesn't have the same feel to it as being a WWE Superstar did. The dedication isn't there, I've wrestled on and off, but I've never felt the need to stay. To be truthful, I've never wanted to stay. I tried my best and I gave XWL chance after chance to prove me wrong, but every time I would, it just let me down. The last time I appeared on an XWL payperview was just over a year ago now, and that was with my contract on the line. After some interference from Edge, I was soon in the unemployment line. Ever since that night it's as if someone placed a curse on me because things just got worse. I decided to take a couple months off, I stayed away for about six months before making my return. When I did finally step back into this ring I thought I'd found not only a worthy opponent in Daniel Bryan, but also a friend. His crazy attempts to lure me into some anger management program run by him, the time we spent together driving to the arena each and every week, for the first time in five years I was enjoying myself again. But then Daniel went and lost his mind, the poor guy thought he was a super villain, running around with Harley Quinn herself. Now he's even more lost than before and doesn't even know what he is.



John Cena
After that I found an enemy in Jack Swagger... An elitist who would try to have you believe that he wants a better America and will do anything to get it, but all he truly wanted was an America that suited his and his companion, Zeb Colter's beliefs. I wasn't going to stand by and watch as he made a ridicule out of my country, attacking the people who practically sign his pay checks. I was ready to show him exactly what a real American looks like but as always, I was left disappointed as Jack Swagger disappeared from the company without a trace. I was ready to give up, to leave the company again and take some time away but then the next night on Redemption, I was made a target of the group of misfits known as 'The Shield'. They interrupted me and attacked me, I'm not ashamed to say that they beat me down, I had a purpose again, a new enemy in those three, particularly Roman Reigns. Someone had to step up and put a stop to his erratic behaviour, to all of the unjustified assaults, and who better than the leader of the Cenation to show him the error of his ways? I was prepared to fight, ready to teach him a lesson he would never forget!... But of course, XWL let me down again and Roman was nowhere to be found.



John Cena
I'm sick and I'm tired of putting all of this work in just for it to be thrown back into my face like it doesn't even matter. Why should I show respect to a company that clearly doesn't respect me? Why should I have to hustle and work myself to the bone each and every day to make this company money and to sell its merchandise when my effort isn't even noticed?  Why should I be loyal to a company that can't even make sure that their superstars are here when they need to be?! I may have lived by those three words for most of my career, but I can't live by them any more. I mean no disrespect to the people who are watching tonight, or to any of you who watch on a weekly basis, or to my fans, I just can't show the same dedication to a company that doesn't care for its superstars. I won't do it any more. I really want to thank the world, and especially the Cenation army for standing by me all of these years.. But it's time.

The camera zooms in much closer on Cena now, he looks down and to his left for a second, almost preparing himself before looking back up and straight into the camera.



John Cena
THE CHAMP... Has officially left the building.

Cena sighs as he dips his head and lifts up his cap, placing it on the seat beside him. He then stands up and pulls off his shirt, he places it on the spot where he was sat and proceeds to leave the room. The camera focuses in on the settee and the last image we see before the titantron fades to black is that of Cena's signature shirt and baseball cap.

The bell sounds and the Handicap match is on its way. Starting out is obviously Kaitlyn going against the masked Diva while Vickie stands on the apron in her corner, watching from a far. The two Divas stand across from each other, each of them beginning to approach the other with no hesitation. Both of them go to attack first, locking themselves into a test of strength which is even at first but soon changes as Kaitlyn begins to overpower the diva. But her opponent doesn’t let Kaitlyn get the advantage just yet as she quickly kicks Kaitlyn right in the gut as an effort to get herself out of the predicament that she is in. The hold is broken following the gut kick and the masked diva stays on the offense, grabbing Kaitlyn by her hair and forcing her down onto the mat. Kaitlyn grabs the back of her head following that slam while the masked diva taunts for just a second before moving back over to Kaitlyn.

[Jerry Lawler]
What a rough landing for Kaitlyn! That slam didn’t look too pretty.

[Jim Ross]
She should stay on the offense though, too early in the match to think you’re in control.

The Masked Diva walks to where Kaitlyn’s head is as she is beginning to get, now being forced up but Kaitlyn pushes her away from her and connects with a hard shot, right to the face of the masked diva. The masked diva didn’t take it too kindly as she looks to go back on the attack but Kaitlyn tackles her and the two of them begin to trade shots on the mat. Kaitlyn starting to gain the upper hand but it is soon taken from her as the diva pushes her away and rolls under the bottom rope to get away from Kaitlyn and to give herself a breather which is cue for the referee the begin his count. One! Kaitlyn is right behind though as she slides out as well and grabs the diva before tossing her gut first into the barrier wall. Three! The camera switches to Vickie who doesn’t seem the least bit concerned right now. Five! Kaitlyn then throws the diva back into the ring and heads into the ring herself. She steps up on to the apron and gets into the ring. But before she can go back on the attack, Vickie smacks her once from behind, taking Kaitlyn’s attention away from the masked diva.

[Jerry Lawler]
Don’t get distracted by her! This is a handicap match, focus on the opponent in the ring!

[Michael Cole]
Did you really expect much else from Kaitlyn? I surely didn’t. She came out here to fight.

Kaitlyn begins to approach Vickie, shouting some not too kind words her way. This distraction gave the masked diva enough time to get to her feet as she charges from behind and knocks Kaitlyn to her knees with a strong club to the back. The masked Diva stands back up to her feet and drops a standing elbow to the back of Kaitlyn, looking to get her off her knees and onto the mat. Kaitlyn isn’t falling just yet but the masked diva stands up and drops another elbow, this time Kaitlyn falls to the mat, starting to show some effects of the double team situation that she is facing. Kaitlyn is turned over as the masked diva goes for the quick pin, looking to pick up a Victory early on in the match. One… Tw- No! Kaitlyn kicks out, not surprising to most people and obviously the masked diva and Vickie don’t seem too surprised either.

[Jim Ross]
No way was she winning that easily.

[Jerry Lawler]
Of course not, Kaitlyn has a lot more in the tank.

[Jim Ross]
She was Divas Champion for over 200 days for a reason.

The masked Diva grabs Kaitlyn by the hair and could be heard shouting “Just give up!” before shoving Kaitlyn’s face turn onto the mat and saying “Making things hard for the both of us!” The fans boo the masked diva as she once again grabs Kaitlyn by the hair, forcing her to her feet and over to one of the corners that Vickie isn’t in. She takes a few steps back as she raises her arms, taunting once again and getting a negative reaction out of the fans before charging towards Kaitlyn, looking to clothesline her in the corner. At the last second, Kaitlyn manages to duck the maneuver which causes the masked Diva’s body to go crashing into the corner. The masked Diva staggers back a little bit after the blow before she is picked up by Kaitlyn where she is now in position to drop her into a sidewalk slam. Right before she drops her, she brings her knee out and sends the back of the masked diva into Kaitlyn’s knee. The fans reactions begin to change to cheers as Kaitlyn begins to gain control of the match. Kaitlyn goes for the quick cover following the back breaker. One… Two… Th- No! Not even close to a three count! Kaitlyn doesn’t get up though as she begins to club the masked diva with hard elbows, bringing the attack to her now. The masked diva is trying to squirm away from Kaitlyn and eventually she is able to grab the bottom rope to help pull herself out of the ring, Kaitlyn continuing her attack the entire time.

Kaitlyn once again quickly follows and attempts to force the masked diva back into the ring but as she does, the masked diva manages to deliver a swift poke to the eye without the referee seeing it happened to due Vickie distracting him from the apron. Kaitlyn is a little dazed now following that poke and the masked diva takes quick advantage of this as she grabs Kaitlyn and throws her shoulder first into the turnbuckle. The masked diva lets out a slight diva as she slides back into the ring, demanding the referee begins his count to count Kaitlyn out. One! Two! Kaitlyn is struggling to get to her feet. Three! Four! Five! She is using the turnbuckle to her advantage, pulling herself up to her fee. Six! And Kaitlyn slides in just as the referee says Seven. Before she can even get a chance to get to her feet, the masked diva begins to stomp on Kaitlyn and she isn’t stopping until the referee begins to force her away but not even that can stop her so the referee begins to force a count. One… Two… Three… Four… Fi- And right before the five, the masked diva stops, making sure they don’t lose this via disqualification.

[Michael Cole]
Cutting it close; a bit too close.

[Jerry Lawler]
I’m sure Vickie wouldn’t want to lose, especially if it’s by Disqualification.

The referee forces the masked diva to back off of Kaitlyn and with the distraction made; Vickie quickly makes her way along the apron to where Kaitlyn is pulling herself up. Kaitlyn just gets to her feet and as soon as she brings her head up, a vicious slap to her face is delivered by Vickie Guerrero. The fans boo as Vickie plays it off like nothing happened, moving back to her corner as the referee turns back around with not a clue what happened. The masked diva makes her way back over to Kaitlyn, grabbing her by the hair once again and drags her to the center of the ring. She sets her up to go for a quick snap suplex but Kaitlyn hooks her leg to stop her from being lifted. She turns the tide in her favor as she lifts the masked diva up herself before slamming her back down, face first into a gourdbuster. The crowd begins to turn once again as Kaitlyn begins to build momentum. Kaitlyn pushes the masked diva onto her back before running towards the ropes. Right before she is about to rebound off them, she is clubbed in the back by Vickie which doesn’t do much harm but it takes her eyes off what is in front of her for the time being. Kaitlyn turns her attention to Vickie as Vickie shouts something towards her. This time, Kaitlyn knew what was coming as she quickly looks behind her to see the masked diva charging. Kaitlyn dodges and throws the masked diva right into Vickie! Vickie goes tumbling off the apron and onto the floor as Kaitlyn rolls the masked diva up in a school girl pin. One…. Two…. Thr- No! It was close but not close enough to pick up the win. You can clearly hear the fans disappointment that Kaitlyn didn’t get the win right there.

[Jim Ross]
It looked like she had it right there!

[Jerry Lawler]
Whoever this masked diva is, you can’t count her out.

Kaitlyn looks towards the referee, holding up two fingers, asking if that was really a two count. You can obviously tell she thought it should have been a three count as well. She grabs the diva and forces her to her feet, pulling her up before throwing her against the ropes. The masked diva rebounds off the ropes as Kaitlyn goes for clothesline but it is ducked, the masked diva still running and bouncing off the opposite ropes. Just when she thought she had the moment, Kaitlyn connects with a back elbow which sends the diva staggering back a little bit. Kaitlyn then runs towards the ropes, rebounding off them before running towards the diva and connecting with a huge running crossbody. Kaitlyn once again goes for the pin, looking to end this match right here once again. One…. Two…. Vickie breaks the pin up! Kaitlyn looks over at Vickie as she begins get to her feet and Vickie begins to back away. Kaitlyn begins to run at Vickie before Vickie drops and escapes from under the bottom rope and Kaitlyn follows her, not letting her get away. Vickie runs around one set of steps before running back into the ring, Kaitlyn close behind. Kaitlyn slides into the ring following Vickie but when she gets in, she is taken down by a huge clothesline from the masked diva, both divas falling to the mat as Vickie looks to be a little relieved. The referee has to begin his count considering both divas on down, but not out, on the mat.

[Jim Ross]
That was a pretty deadly clothesline.

[Michael Cole]
I’m with you there, probably hit harder then it looked.

One… Two…. The masked diva begins to use the ropes to help pull herself to her feet. Three… Four…. Five…. And Right after the five count, the masked diva gets one of her feet solidly on the floor as Kaitlyn begins to struggle to get up. The masked diva looks over towards Vickie who could be heard shouting “Finish her already!” Vickie is making it clear that she wants this to end already, not just to put Kaitlyn out of her misery, but to see Kaitlyn lose. The masked diva then makes her way over to Kaitlyn and begins to pick her up but Kaitlyn connects with a solid blow to the gut of the masked diva. Kaitlyn begins to get to her feet as she delivers another blow, this time the masked diva returns the favor by sending Kaitlyn a blow of her own. The two begin to go back and forth with blows, one after another, the crowd going along with it in the background. Cheering as Kaitlyn connects with a shot while they boo as The Masked Diva connects with a shot. Kaitlyn begins to gain the upper hand, connecting with more shots now before being pushed away by the masked diva who then runs towards the ropes and looks to take advantage but Kaitlyn charges through her with a strong leaping shoulder block, sending the masked diva back to the mat but not for long. She begins to get back up, not wanting to be put down yet.

[Jerry Lawler]
Kaitlyn isn’t giving up yet! You should never count this girl out.

[Jim Ross]
You’ve got that right. This isn’t ending just yet

The Masked Diva gets to her feet and looks to take Kaitlyn down with another clothesline but Kaitlyn ducks the arm and grabs it, beginning to set up for what looks to be a full nelson. Kaitlyn holds her for a split second before jumping and connecting with a full nelson bomb that just doesn’t end there as she turns it into a Lotus Lock at the very end! The crowd begins to cheer as Kaitlyn is looking to go for a submission victory right here. Vickie stands on the apron shouting into the ring, obviously she is not pleased as she shouts things like “Don’t tap out” and “Don’t let that tramp beat you” to the masked diva. The move is locked in and it doesn’t look like the masked diva can deal with the pain anymore but lucky for her, Vickie begins to enter the ring which catches the attention of Kaitlyn as she breaks the hold and turns her attention to Vickie, shouting “You want to fight too? Or are you too afraid?” Vickie begins to enter the ring again despite the referee orders as Kaitlyn begins to approach her again, causing the two to begin a war of words. Eventually Vickie is forced back onto the apron and Kaitlyn begins to turn her attention to the masked diva that is now on their feet. At the very last second she possibly could, Kaitlyn ducks what looks to be the Masked Diva going for the Bombshell! But the move still connects, just not with Kaitlyn, but with the referee instead! The referee is down but the match is still going despite their not being a ref! Kaitlyn goes back on the attack, looking to connect with a side effect but she is elbowed in the back of the head and in a last desperate maneuver, the masked diva pokes Kaitlyn right in the eye.

[Michael Cole]
The referee is down! This is all legal!

[Jim Ross]
That doesn’t mean it’s right though!

The masked diva reaches down to her boot and once again pulls out that signature lead pipe of hers. Without any hesitation, she swings and connects with hitting Kaitlyn right in the back. The fans boo as the masked diva looks down at Kaitlyn while Vickie screams “Pick her up, now!” The masked diva listens and forces Kaitlyn to her feet following that shot to her spine, holding her so she is facing Vickie who now steps into the ring. Vickie begins to yell into the fact of Kaitlyn, giving her a good slap or two every now and then. “You think you can beat me? You think you can beat Vickie Guerrero?” She slaps Kaitlyn across the face as she finishes her question. “No one, and I mean no one, can beat me!” Kaitlyn attempts to kick Vickie in the gut but Vickie stops her by hitting her right over the head. “You are just as foolish as every other diva in the locker room right now! You don’t deserve any of this.” Vickie once again slaps Kaitlyn across the face, now looking to just embarrass her more than anything. “You are weak. You are pathetic. You are wort-“ and before Vickie could finish her sentence, a theme begins to play throughout the arena, much to the surprise of the fans in attendance and at home.




























[Jerry Lawler]
What!? You’ve got to be kidding me! What kind of games are they playing!

[Jim Ross]
I don’t know King, this doesn’t look to be a game. But who knows.

It’s Layla! She doesn’t waste anytime bursting out from behind the curtain and making a beeline to the ring. The masked Diva and Vickie are shocked to see her as they let Kaitlyn go. Layla quickly slides into the ring as the crowd cheers her on. The masked diva quickly goes for a shot with the lead pipe but Layla ducks it, quickly connecting with a swift bombshell to the face of the masked diva, showing her how to really do it. Vickie has exited the ring now and looks from a far as Layla walks over to Kaitlyn and checks on her, Kaitlyn not exactly sure what to think as she looks and sees both the masked diva and Layla at once. Layla offers Kaitlyn a hand and she doesn’t take it at first but soon takes it as Layla pulls her up. Layla could be heard saying “I said I’d be watching. Should’ve believed me.” Kaitlyn is still in a little bit of shock as she replies with “I… Guess I should’ve have.”

[Jerry Lawler]
Well I’d be damned, it wasn’t Layla after all.

[Jim Ross]
Hate to say it, but I guess Vickie was right when she called us foolish. We all thought it was Layla but in reality, it wasn’t! She played us and she played us good.

Layla picks up the lead pipe as Kaitlyn says to her “Thanks, but this is my fight. Let me finish this” before batting her on the bat. Kaitlyn notices the referee starting to stir “Should leave before I get DQ’ed, or else we’d have some issues.” Layla flashes a smile as she begins to leave the ring and begins to walk up the ramp, leaving Kaitlyn to fight the battle. Kaitlyn walks over to the masked diva and begins to force her to her feet before lifting her up and in position to hit her single knee gutbuster. The masked diva begins to squirm, trying not to be hit by the move. Behind Kaitlyn’s back, the masked diva actually reaches out and tags in Vickie Guerrero! Kaitlyn didn’t even see it as Vickie doesn’t enter the ring immediately. The masked Diva elbows Kaitlyn in the head, forcing her to let her down. Kaitlyn doesn’t stop the fight as she grabs the little pieces of the mask that she can, not letting her get away. Little bits and pieces of the mask’s seem begin to tear. With one last pull, the mask is ripped off and the person is revealed as Kaitlyn looks down in utter confusion, not exactly sure what to think because the person behind the mask obviously isn’t Layla because it is….

































It’s Maria Kanellis! She has been the Diva who has been working with Vickie this entire time! Kaitlyn is confused as Maria has a smirk on her face and next thing Kaitlyn knew she is being rolled up by Vickie.


1…












2….




































3!!!



Vickie gets the pin on Kaitlyn!The crowd is in utter shock along with Kaitlyn as Vickie quickly exits the ring with Maria. Kaitlyn gets onto her knees as she looks on, wondering what exactly is going on. Vickie and Maria meet on the bottom of the ramp as they look on at Kaitlyn, both of them having a good laugh at all of this before giving one another a high five on their win here tonight.

[Jim Ross]
What exactly did we witness just now?

[Michael Cole]
Maria?! I'll even admit, I'm confused!

[Jerry Lawler]
What I want to know is what is her reason for this!

Kaitlyn looks over at the commentary team, looking to see if they are confused too and without a doubt, they are confused as well. The fans boo Vickie and Maria as they walk backwards up the ramp, looking down at Kaitlyn. They reach the top of the stage as Maria begins to head to the back with Vickie stopping at the top, a sinister little smirk grows on her face before she lets out her signature laugh as the match comes to a close.

XWL moves on from our previous match to shots of the sold out crowd as fans hold up signs for their favourite superstars as they notice the sky cam on the titantron. The sold out crowd in Memphis suddenly gets a lot more lively as one mans theme blasts around the P.A, much to the surprise of everyone...







It’s The Rock! The man who got taken out by Chris Jericho at Supremacy has returned and he looks better than ever! He quickly walks out to the top of the stage and just looks around at the sold out arena as the fans are on their feet, cheering and showing their support to The Great One. Rock is overwhelmed by this and smiles before making his way down the ramp.



He does a light jog and hopes up onto the ring apron before getting in the ring. As he gets in he goes up every turnbuckle and raises his arm to each corner of the crowd for a few seconds. Flashes can be seen as loads of fans are taking photos and recording this surprise return which wasn’t to be expected. As Rock hops down off the final turnbuckle he picks up a mic which was left in the centre of the ring



The Rock
FINALLY….THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE!

Large cheers erupt from the crowd as The Rock takes in the electricity in the air for a moment.



The Rock
Now the last 4 weeks have been tough on The Rock. The Rock was beaten and left helpless just outside this ring. Chris Jericho took it upon himself to makes sure The Great One left Supremacy in an Ambulance. Well congratulations Chris, you put The Rock out of action. But don’t you ever, ever think for one second you can keep The Peoples champion down. The Rock has been beaten up before and I’ll be damned to think The Rock won’t be beaten up again but he always comes back stronger. Chris, you laid the Rock out with a kick to the head and The Rock could feel the impact with that steel post for weeks! Now you can GAURAN-DAMN-TEE that the Rock won’t forget that attack and just remember that the next time we are in this ring together The Rock is going to beat your candy ass so bad you are going to be nothing but the little piece of chicken shit that you are!



The Rock
Now The Rock could go on about Chris Jericho but The Rock dosen’t want to bore everybody here tonight so let the Rock tell you all a little story. Over the last four weeks the Rock has been stuck in a hospital bed surrounded by cute nurses and a lot of stroodle pie, and you know The Rock, he loves stroodle pie. The bhrama bull was raring to go, I had to sit down and tell the bull “Whoa boy, you may be ready for the pie but I don’t think The Rock is able to sit down begin the feast. The Rock is hurt, he needs time to recover. I had to sit in that hospital bed bandaged up and I’ve been watching XWL. The Rock has been watching how his show has been coping without him. How Team Bring it have been coping without The Great One out here each and every week giving you the excitement and asskickings you people love to see. The Rock was expecting someone to try and fill the Rock’s boots, someone to come out and try to please The Rock’s fans.



The Rock
Now as The Rock was sat in the hospital bed eating some hospital food which tasted like something which had come out of Rikishi after two rounds of all you can eat chill down at Timmy’s, The Rock noticed two things, number one, The Rock and cheesesteaks do not mix. The Rock was left farting gas worse than when he thought it would be a good idea to eat that entire tub of double chocolate ice cream…and number two, that there is no one in this company who could replace The Rock because even though The Rock wasn’t here you were all still screaming The Great one’s name.



The Rock
Now The Rock is going to talk about Eye for an Eye. The Rock is here at one of the greatest pay per views of the year infront of the MILLIONS….(AND MILLIONS!) and millions of the Rocks adoring fans and The Rock can’t even put on a show like only The Great One can. The Rock was ready to start his way back up to the top and become the Peoples Champion once again! So next week, next week The Rock will get in this ring and start getting back to the top where The Rock belongs! Hell, The Rock used to live at the top! Next week The Rock will make his return to the ring and the electricity will be in the air as somebodies will become The Great ones personal Jerbroni punching bag. It doesn’t matter if it’s Dolph Ziggler, John Cena, CM Punk, The Undertaker or even little Jimmy! The Rock is back and he is one hundred and ten percent more pie-eating, jabroni beating, sweet talking, eyebrow raising, electrifying than he has ever been before!

The Rock
IF YA’ SMELLLLLLLL

WHAT THE ROCK

IS COOKIN’



The Rock’s theme blasts around the arena as he heads to the top rope and raises his arm. He looks on at all the fans who are on their feet cheering and screaming The Rock’s name. The camera zooms in on The Rock smiling and laughing as he cannot do anything but as a Rocky chant breaks out. The cameras fade out to a hype video for our main event.

*The arena grows quiet as the announcer Justin Roberts stands in the center of the ring.



{Justin Roberts}
The following contest is an Inferno Match! The loser will be the first man set on fire. Introducing first.....



{Justin Roberts}
From San Luis Potosí, Mexico, ALBERRRRRTOOOO DEL RIO!



{Jim Ross}
Here he is folks, the man who is going to put everything on the line tonight! He's got a shot at becoming the number one contender later, but for now he plans on avenging all the atrocities Kane has committed in one match, by burning his opponent alive.

*Alberto Del Rio slowly walks towards the ring, dragging his battered body to the ring. He shows no emotion on his face as he gingerly lowers his raised arm and heads around the corner to the ring steps.



{Jim Ross}
I have never seen someone go through so many different feelings in one night than Alberto Del Rio here tonight, nervous, scared, pained, overjoyed, intense are just some of what encompasses this evening for the man who most overcome the most insurmountable odds here tonight.

{Michael Cole}
He has to walk back into hell, and pray that he walks out. Quite frankly, I don't think he will! I don't think he'll make it to the chamber!

*Alberto walks up the steps and slowly into the ring where he walks to one of the ring corners and lowers his head, presumably to pray.



{Jerry Lawler}
The Rock, Chris Jericho, Sheamus, those men were his challenges in the biggest matches of his XWL career. He won some and he lost some but this right here, is the match Del Rio cares about most, the match that he will look back on and say is the most important match he ever wrestled.

*Del Rio hops up to the middle rope and stares into the crowd intensely as the cheer him on.



*He hops down and turns to face towards the entrance ramp doing nothing besides clinching his fists over and over again awaiting his opponent. The referee hands him a bag and forces him to adorn the contents of it, Del Rio slips on one of his own t-shirts and a pair of athletic sleeves without ever taking his eyes off the top of the ramp. The fans grow silent as the air grows thick with the tension that will soon explode into fire and rage.

{Michael Cole}
There is a big fight feel here tonight, no doubt about it! Ricardo won't be here because of Kane and Del Rio plans to-BANG!!!



*The fans boo but it cannot be heard over the roaring of the flames that Kane's appearance has brought. Kane steps out from the back surrounded by a stage of fire and his face as always covered by the giant metal mask. He slowly and meticulously stalks down the ramp.



*As Kane stalks the red glow of the flames engulf the arena, Del Rio continues to look on at his personal demon, covered in red light, staring expressionless at his foe and thinking of a way to, as he said earlier in the evening, exorcise it.



*Kane reaches the base of the ramp and motions for the referee to back Del Rio up, which the ref complies. Kane grabs the top rope to pull him on to the apron and steps over the top rope. Del Rio's face changes from no expression to pure rage but he still stands in place as if he's calm. Kane wanders to the center of the ring and stares out into the corwd, he slowly raises both hands and......



{Justin Roberts}
And his opponent from Parts Unknown....KANE!

*The ring becomes completely engulfed in flames and Kane simply tosses his mask over the fire, with nothing left to occur the official calls for the bell and both men charge right into a brawl!!!






{Jim Ross}
Here we go! The inferno match is on!

{Jerry Lawler}
Ah! Look at those flames!

*Both men continue to exchange punches, and you know they won’t pull any after how personal this feud has gotten. Alberto Del Rio shot Kane in the face with a fireball last month, and a few weeks ago on Breakdown Kane broke Ricardo’s neck with a Tombstone. Kane wouldn’t stop there however, as he assaulted Ricardo in the hospital, along with a group of security and an innocent doctor. So tonight, not only was Del Rio fighting for his pride, but he was fighting for the honor of his best friend. He may as well be fighting for his livelihood too, as he is currently in a ring with Kane, surrounded by flames. We all know how comfortable Kane is around the flames, the flames are what made him the monster he is today. The real question is how will Alberto Del Rio survive in this environment, and he answers that question rather quickly. He brings the fight to Kane, showing he is no fear. He doesn’t give a damn he’ll have to compete in the Chamber, that his career could end here tonight. He throws haymakers at Kane, hitting him right after right, even getting the monster to stagger a little bit. He bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but he’s not able to get Kane down.

{Jim Ross}
Alberto Del Rio isn’t backing down here, he shows no fear!

{Michael Cole}
He’s not noble, he’s stupid!

{Jerry Lawler}
I can say he’s got guts, he’s bringing it to Kane here!

*Alberto hits the ropes again, looking for another clothesline. This attempt proves to be as successful as the last, and Kane doesn’t even budge. He’s still staggering, however, so it gives Del Rio the chance to go for it again. He goes for the clothesline attempt, but this time Kane catches him by the throat! Del Rio’s eyes bulge as Kane tightens his grip on him. Kane squeezes as tightly as he can, but Del Rio kicks him in the thigh. He continues the attack, hitting him in the thigh over and over. Eventually, after about six kicks to his leg, Kane finally lets go of the hold. Del Rio goes right back on offense, nailing Kane with a couple of rights. He forces him back into the corner with his strikes, where he goes for an Irish Whip attempt. Kane holds on, and Del Rio tries his hardest to get him out of the corner, it seems like neither man is willing to give here. Del Rio stomps his feet a couple of times in his attempt to whip Kane, but eventually Kane hits him with an uppercut, sending him back down to the mat. Upon impact, the flames on the apron shoot up, sending all the fans in front way back a step.

{Jerry Lawler}
Ah!

{Jim Ross}
Careful here!

*Del Rio holds his jaw, clearly the uppercut has done some damage to him. Kane looks to follow up on the big move and grabs ahold of Del Rio, but is pushed off. Del Rio goes for another strike, but it’s blocked. Kane grabs his fist in mid air and throws it back down. He hits Del Rio with a couple rights of his own, knocking him back a little bit. He hits him with another uppercut, sending him flying into the corner. Del Rio buckles off the turnbuckles, causing the flames to jump up for another moment. This startles Del Rio a little bit, and he moves to the left to avoid them. It proved to be untimely, however, as Kane charges full speed at him and lands a corner splash, sending back down to the corner. As Del Rio slopes down to the mat, Kane places his boot across his throat. Kane is choking Del Rio out with his boot! The referees watching this match from the outside are helpless, they can’t do anything about Kane’s dastardly deed. Kane continues to apply pressure as he leans on the top rope, putting all of his weight down on Del Rio’s throat. Del Rio bangs on the mat as he looks for a way out, but the only person who can break the move is Kane, who eventually complies to focus his attack elsewhere.

{Michael Cole}
Kane is so smart, he’s using the rules to the Inferno Match to his advantage!

{Jerry Lawler}
What rules?

{Jim Ross}
Come on Cole, if this was a normal match Kane would have been disqualified!

{Michael Cole}
Doesn’t matter, JR, No DQ!

*The fans hiss at Kane, but he doesn’t give a damn. The only thing he is focused on is hurting Del Rio, punishing Del Rio, and above all making sure he is the one who feels the wrath of the flames which haunt them from the apron of the ring. As Alberto begins to climb back up to his feet in the corner, Kane approaches him and works the body with a couple of strikes before hitting him in the head with a right. He grabs Del Rio by the arm and whips him off the ropes, sending him down with a big boot upon the return. Once Del Rio hits the mat, the flames on the apron shoot up again, scaring all of the referees at ringside. Kane laughs at them and all of the fans in the crowd who are afraid of the fire. He goes back over to Del Rio and tries to pick him up, but is met with a punch to the gut. Del Rio hits him a few more times before he finally drops down to a knee. Del Rio gets back up and on his feet and backs up a little bit, before charging and hitting a running neckbreaker. With Kane down, Alberto unleashes a flurry of offense with kicks, stomping away at his shoulder and head, so we assume he is setting up for the Cross Armbreaker.

{Jim Ross}
Alberto Del Rio is fired up!

{Jerry Lawler}
Fired up! Ha!

{Jim Ross}
No pun intended, King.

*Luckily there are no referees in the ring, as Del Rio goes wild with his assault. He continues to put the boots to Kane, with the kicks becoming more rapid and vicious after each stomp. Eventually, he gives up on the kicks and kneels over Kane, lifting his head up. Del Rio clenches his fist and drives it into the skull of Kane over and over, getting a pop from the crowd as he continues to beat on Kane. Kane tries to cover his face, but it’s no use as Del RIo continues to deliver the shots to the head. Eventually, Kane is able to push him off and nearly tosses him into the flames. Del Rio puts the brakes on at the last minute, and he looks down at the flames in shock. He knows he nearly lost the match, he knows he nearly paid the ultimate price here. The distraction allows Kane to swoop in and he grabs Del Rio by the back of the head, forcing him down into the middle rope. Kane continues to push him downwards, and it’s clear what he’s trying to do, he’s trying to push Del Rio into the flames! Alberto does his best to fight him back, but Kane has the strength advantage. The best bet Del Rio has is him putting his hands down on the middle rope and doing everything in his power to make sure he does not go any lower.

{Michael Cole}
This could be over real soon!

{Jim Ross}
You gotta get out of there, Alberto!

{Jerry Lawler}
Look how close he is to those flames!

*Kane continues to push down on Del Rio, but he keeps his arms locked on the middle rope, ensuring he does not go down any lower than he already has. He throws some wild kicks at Kane, trying to knock him off, only for none of the kicks to hit his target. Taking a major risk, he lets go of the middle rope with one hand, keeping the other hand locker on. With his free hand he begins to strike Kane in his sides with some elbows, hitting him over and over and over and over before he finally backs off. Del Rio quickly shoots up to his feet, wanting to get away from the flames as quickly as possible. He charges at Kane, connecting with a running bulldog, and the impact on the mat causes the flames to rise once more. Del Rio picks him up and goes behind him, locking his arms for a german suplex, which he connects. After hitting the move, he rolls through and hits a second german, which he rolls through again. This time, instead of hitting the third german, he pushes Kane towards the ropes, right by the fire. He grabs him by the legs and lifts him up, trying to throw him over the top and into the flames!

{Jim Ross}
The tables have turned! Now Del Rio is the one trying to toss Kane into the flames!

{Michael Cole}
Oh no! This is no good!

*The fans get up on their feet, as now Alberto Del Rio is the one trying to force Kane into the flames. Alberto has Kane’s leg wrapped up with one arm, and with his other arm he presses down on Kane’s back, trying to drop him into the fire. Kane, who clearly has the power advantage, is able to hold on by grabbing the bottom rope, but he is head is barely above the flames at this point. Everyone watches on and nail biters must be down to their skin at this point, Kane is so close it seems like his hair should be on fire already. Alberto continues to apply force with all his might, but Kane is not budging an inch. He knows the consequences he will face if he lets go for even a minute. Kane throws elbows at Del Rio, trying to get him off. Del Rio refuses to give, and he continues to push Kane down closer to the fire, prompting Kane to throw more elbows. Eventually, Del Rio has to give and Kane gets back in the ring, hitting Alberto with a big boot.

{Jerry Lawler}
Oh, what a big boot by Kane! I think Alberto may be in trouble.

{Jim Ross}
Kane was pretty close to feeling the flames once more there, and now I fear Del Rio may be in danger of doing the same thing.

*After taking the big boot, Del Rio remains on the mat, trying to regroup after such a hard shot. Kane doesn’t give him anymore time to recover and he picks him up, violently tossing him into the corner. Del Rio sinks down a little bit with his arms draping over the ropes as Kane backs up a few inches before turning around, “The Big Red Monster” going for a huge corner splash. Del Rio is able to get out of the way and he connects with the enzuigiri, bringing Kane down to one knee in the center of the ring. Alberto bounced off the ropes, not getting too close to the fire, and was met by Kane’s grip on his way back! Del Rio quickly fought out, kicking Kane in the leg a few times before he finally dropped back down to his knee. Del Rio stepped back and measured Kane, hitting him with a superkick! Kane fell to the mat as Del Rio pounded on his chest, the capacity crowd in *waiting for the city name* rallying behind him. He decided to head up to the top, and he carefully climbed the turnbuckles rather than going onto the apron. The few seconds he took to get up top allowed Kane to get back up, and he grabbed Del Rio by the throat again! He went for a Chokeslam off the top, but Del Rio countered with a Tornado DDT!

{Jim Ross}
Wow! What a counter by Alberto Del Rio!

{Jerry Lawler}
You’ve got to give Del Rio credit here, he’s holding his own against Kane.

{Michael Cole}
But for how long, Jerry? How long can a man like Del Rio survive with a monster like Kane?

{Jim Ross}
Need I remind you Del Rio is the man who handed Kane his first pay-per-view loss since 2011 last month?

{Michael Cole}
No.

*Kane is down and out on the mat following the DDT, and Del Rio pops right back up to his feet. He holds his arm up and begins slapping it, signaling for the Cross Armbreaker! The fans cheer in anticipation as Del Rio grabs ahold of Kane’s arm, but is thrown into the middle turnbuckle head first. He holds his head, trying to clear the cobwebs while Kane uses the time to get back up to his feet. Kane grabs Del Rio by the throat once more, and it’s clear he really wants to end this one early, he wants to put Alberto in the flames. He raises him up in the air, but Alberto slips out in the air and locks in the Armbreaker, driving Kane to the mat! The fans pop as Alberto has his signature locked in, and the only way out for Kane is if he is somehow able to break out of the hold! There may be no submissions in this match, but Del Rio wants to hurt Kane, and you know Kane is hurting by his yelling, as he tries everything to get out of the hold. He bangs on the mat a few times, looking for a way out. Eventually he uses his size to his advantage, as he rolls over to get on his knees. Del Rio refuses to let go of the hold, so Kane picks him up and immediately drops him, finally breaking the hold.

{Jerry Lawler}
Ah! Kane nearly dropped Alberto on his head.

{Jim Ross}
Tremendous counter by Kane to get out of the Cross Armbreaker, will Del Rio be able to get back in this? He still has the chamber to go through!

*Del Rio rolls around holding his neck, just being dumped onto it by Kane, speaking of Kane he is shown holding his arm that was just freed from the finishing maneuver but his gaze directly focused on Alberto. He stomps towards him, grabbing his head with his good arm using it to pull him to his feet and scoops him up onto his shoulder. Kane turns towards the nearest turnbuckle and tosses Del Rio straight into the air causing him to crash down face first onto the top pad, causing his head to snap back as he lands on his feet! Del Rio starts spinning around in a daze and is met with a big uppercut that sends him flying into the corner where Kane traps him and grasps Del Rio around the mouth! He begins shoving Del Rio over the top rope while choking him with his signature claw hold! The only thing keeping Del Rio from being engulfed in flames is his grasp on the ropes and his tied feet to the other set of ropes connected to the same turnbuckles. Kane tightens his grip even more as Del Rio begins to turn blue in the face and his hands slip only leaving his tied feet as his protection from the inferno! Alberto's head is only inches from the flame!

{Jim Ross}
Oh god! Del Rio is only seconds from a fiery demise!

{Jerry Lawler}
I can't watch!

*Del Rio in a panic starts feeling at the mask of Kane, but Kane seemingly doesn't notice it as he has a demonic gleam in his eye. Del Rio suddenly thrusts his thumb into the eye of Kane! Kane releases the hold and the sudden halting of the forward force launches Alberto back into the ring. Kane stands in the center of the ring with his back to his opponent who his starting to get to his feet, Del Rio notices Kane unprepared and charges in but he was playing possum as he grabs the running Del Rio with one arm by the waist and lifts into a sidewalk slam and drives him spine first into the mat causing the flames to shoot up scaring everyone at ringside once again! Kane sits for a moment while he massages his arm, still damaged from the Armbreaker but quickly gets to his feet bringing Alberto with him. He shoves Del Rio into the ropes and on the bounce back delivers a big boot sending Del Rio to the mat again, he turns and bounces off the ropes himself leaping and delivering a leg drop to his opponent! Kane gets to his feet and backs into a corner staring towards the battered Mexican aristocrat, he raises his hand into the air wagging his fingers, of course going for his patented Chokeslam!

{Michael Cole}
Del Rio is done if he gets to his feet! There is no way his body can keep going after what he's gone through tonight.

*Del Rio slowly begins to stir and rise to his feet where he turns right into Kane's cold grasp once again. Kane lifts him for the Chokeslam! But Kane's face shifts to anguish as he loses his grip and starts shaking his arm? Del Rio looks shocked but immediately grabs the monster's arm and extends it, leaping and driving his knees into it as he pulls him to the ground! Kane yells in pain as he's already hurt arm takes even more damage while Del Rio quickly charges in and puts the boots to the downed Kane. Del Rio stops his rain of boots and yanks Kane of the ground, he grabs him by the hair and belt and charges to Kane's fiery defeat!! But Kane grabs the top rope with both arms and sends Alberto rolling backwards. Del Rio immediately gets to his feet and charges and goes for the Enziguri! Kane ducks! Del Rio collects himself and turns into a big over handed punch to his temple sending him staggering. Kane walks along the ropes and climbs up the turnbuckle he tugs on his elbow pad as Del Rio moves towards facing him and he leaps going for his flying clothesline! Alberto slips under the arm as Kane lands on his feet! He grabs Kane by the waist and lifts him over into a german suplex!

{Jerry Lawler}
Del Rio just had an amazing counter there!

{Michael Cole}
Kane has to be getting frustrated at the counters of Del Rio, the question is will that frustration pull him down into the flames at ringside!

*Del Rio stands up, measuring the now fallen Kane. Alberto seemingly has Kane on the ropes now after the big german suplex. Del Rio drags Kane towards the ropes once again, hoping that this is the time that he can finish his rival off for good. He struggles getting Kane up to toss into the fire but manages to get him partially tucked between the top two ropes before Kane clasps onto the top rope, fighting as Del Rio sticks his leg between the ropes and places it on Kane's chest trying to shove him into the fire! Both men struggle with everything they have, one to maim and the other to survive, Del Rio grits his teeth and uses every last drop of his strength to exorcise his last personal demon. Alberto moves his leg back into the ring as his last ditch effort failed and out of frustration starts clawing and punching Kane's hands on the top rope trying to break it free but Kane pulls himself in to the the ropes and releases one hand to deliver a strike to Alberto to send him back, but he charges back in to Kane only to be met with another fist. Kane steps back into the ring and tees off another closed fist punch causing Del Rio to slam to the mat and the flames once again to explode! Kane stalks over to Del Rio, suddenly Del Rio gets to a crawl stance and dives between Kane's legs! He gets to his feet and sprints towards and up the turnbuckle to the top rope! Kane immediately turns and as Del Rio thinks to leap Kane fires another stiff uppercut that cause Del Rio to go loopy on the top rope!

{Jim Ross}
Alberto Del Rio can be in grave danger, he’s hung up on that top rope!

{Jerry Lawler}
Del Rio better able to hang on!

{Michael Cole}
I think this might be it! Kane’s gonna do it!

*Del Rio has once again found himself helpless on the top rope, and Kane climbs up to the middle rope, grasping on to Del Rio to make sure he doesn’t fall off either. The hesitation shown by Kane costs him, and we can see Del Rio’s eyes open wide on the top as he realizes where he is. He immediately begins firing back, clobbering Kane with multiple rights and lefts to the back. Kane manages to hang on, as he ends up bending over and grabs onto the top rope to make sure he doesn’t fall off. Although none of the shots knock the monster off, they are doing a great deal of damage to him. Del Rio continues to pound away at him until Kane lets go of the rope with one hand and begins to hit Del Rio with elbows, causing his offense to cease. Kane grabs Del Rio by the throat and his eyes grow wide, Kane chucking Del Rio to the barricade below! The fans are in awe after the fall Del Rio just took, and he can barely stand as Kane turns to him on the top. Kane gives it a good second before making his move, the monster jumping off the top and hitting his signature flying clothesline to the floor!

{Jerry Lawler}
AH!

{Michael Cole}
This isn’t good! Kane and Del Rio could be really hurt!

{Jim Ross}
My god I can’t believe it, Kane just leaped over those flames and onto Del Rio! Look at the carnage!

{Jerry Lawler}
But how do they get back into the ring?

{Jim Ross}
I don’t think they can, look at those flames!

*Both men are still down, and the crowd is in an absolute frenzy after the spectacular move Kane just pulled off. As the two men lay down on the floor, multiple replays of the moment are played. One perspective is from behind Del Rio, where we can see a perfect shot of Kane jumping over the flames and landing onto his bitter rival. Back live neither man has been able to get to his feet still, but the everyone in the crowd tonight do their best to will Del Rio back up to his feet. Unfortunately for him, Kane is the first one to get up to his feet. He leans against the barricade for leverage as the two referees stationed at ringside try to check on the hurt Del Rio, but they are scared off by a single motion from Kane. Who could blame them anyway, they are only feet away from those flames and everyone knows Kane would have no problem making them feel the wrath of the fire.

{Jim Ross}
Del Rio better do something quick, Kane is up and they’re right by those flames!

{Michael Cole}
I think we might be nearing the end here, and I guess we won’t be seeing Alberto in the chamber later on either!

{Jerry Lawler}
Stop it, Cole, show some compassion for once!

*Kane yanks Del Rio off of the ground and violently tosses him into the barricade, where he immediately bounces off into another uppercut from the monster. Del Rio is in danger as Kane grabs him by the throat and begins to walk over to the flames, but Del RIo realizes what he’s planning. He thinks quickly and targets the shins of “The Big Red Monster,” hitting the right leg with multiple kicks until Kane finally lets out. Del Rio wastes no time and grabs Kane’s head, slamming it down into the announce table. Kane drops down to a knee as Alberto rips off the cover of the table, dropping it down across Kane’s back! The shot has no effect on the monster, however, and it merely breaks in half over him. Alberto is frozen for a minute before he acts again, grabbing a monitor for the table and smashing it across the side of Kane’s head. Kane drops down to the other knee now and Alberto grabs a chair, driving it straight into Kane’s skull! Kane is loopy as he pops back up to his feet, but he staggers and nearly trips over himself. Alberto hits him with the chair one more time, sending him back first onto the announce table.

{Michael Cole}
I better get out of here!

{Jerry Lawler}
This was the one match I thought we wouldn’t have to worry about this!

{Jim Ross}
We should have known better than to think even a ring of fire could hold the hatred these two share for one another.

*With Kane out on the table, Alberto drops the chair and takes a knee, taking one moment to catch his breath and correctly assess the situation. He looks around for a bit before noticing Kane’s arm, the same arm he uses for his chokeslam and signature claw hold, is draping over the edge of the announce table. Alberto grabs it and drops down to the floor, locking in the Cross Armbreaker in the process! The fans pop as the ever-crafty Del Rio is using the environment to his advantage, he could actually break Kane’s arm with the extra leverage! Kane hollers as his free arm bangs on the announce table, but that doesn’t do him any good. Of course, no one can deny the craftiness of Kane either, and he uses his position to his advantage. He begins to roll his body over, and appears like he’s going to drop himself on top of Del Rio! He is able to roll himself over and fall of the table, landing on Del Rio just like he intended to do. Alberto is forced to break the hold and Kane is able to immediately pop back up to his feet.

{Jim Ross}
Oh! All three hundred and twenty-free pounds of Kane just dropped onto Del Rio there!

{Jerry Lawler}
I think Del Rio might have some cracked ribs!

*Even though Kane was the first one to make it back up to his feet, he holds his arm, showing signs the Cross Armbreaker did a number on “The Devil’s Favorite Demon” He tries his best to hide it, however, and he goes back to work on Del Rio. He lifts him up off the ground, wasting no time as he whips him right into the steel steps! Del Rio lands hard and slowly slips down to the mat, with his head leaning right up against the steel steps. Kane takes a few steps back and measures his shot, charging and looking for a running knee! Del Rio rolls out of the way at the lost moment and before Kane makes contact with the steel steps or flames, he stops himself. Kane nearly loses his balance and wobbles back and forth as he holds his arms out, not realizing Del Rio is sneaking up behind him. Del Rio grabs him from behind, hitting a German Suplex on the floor! The fans pop as Alberto grabs a steel chair, driving it into Kane’s spine over and over! Del Rio hits him about five times before Kane finally knocks the chair out of his hands and grabs him by the throat, sending him over the announce table!

{Michael Cole}
OH NO! WATC-

{Jim Ross}
…

{Jerry Lawler}
…

*The commentators have been cut off as Del Rio may have pulled a wire or two out. Kane sees Del Rio and lets out a bit of a chuckle, but he quickly realizes this is his chance to escape after the beating Del Rio just handed. Kane turns around to get in the ring, forgetting for a moment that the flames were there. When he turns around the flames shoot up, but he holds his ground and smiles at them. Nobody is more comfortable around such a hellish inferno than Kane! He looks around the ringside area for a few moments before he sees a fireproof tarp stationed by the barricade in case of an emergency. He opens up the bag and rips out the tarp before dragging it across the floor to the ring. He doesn’t both to unfold it as he merely tosses it onto a part of the flames, extinguishing them! He merely slides back into the ring, taking the tarp with him!

{Jerry Lawler}
I think we’re back…

{Jim Ross}
Yeah we’re back alright, and it seems as if Kane has used that fireproof tarp to get himself back into the ring!

{Michael Cole}
And he took it back, so now Del Rio can’t get in! Genius!

{Jerry Lawler}
Well, how does this match even continue?

{Jim Ross}
I don’t know, I think Del Rio is gonna have to get creative here.

*Del Rio finally wakes up on the outside, getting on his hands and knees as he slowly crawls out of the rubble behind the announce table. He pushes wires and papers out of his way as he looks towards the ring, where he notices Kane standing in the center of it with a smirk on his face. He gets up onto his knee and lets out a loud “COME ON!” before sighing. He stands up on his feet and begins walking around ringside a bit, trying to figure out a way to get into the ring. As he makes a full circle around the ring, he throws his hands to his sides and it looks like he is completely lost.

{Jerry Lawler}
What is he gonna do? He’s helpless!

*Finally, it appears like Del Rio gets an idea stuck in his head, as his eyes grow wide and he lets out a bit of a smirk. Kane watches on confused as he crawls under the ring apron, perhaps he’s looking for something under the ring? What on earth could be under the ring that would help him get over an entire wall of fire? One question is answered as while he crawls out from under the ring, he pulls out a ladder with him to a huge ovation from the crowd!

{Michael Cole}
What on earth?

{Jim Ross}
What the hell is he going to do with a damn ladder?

{Jerry Lawler}
I mean, what can he do?

*Del Rio carries the ladder around ringside, finally setting up on the side where the entrance ramp is. He sets up on the mat, a couple of feet away from both the entrance aisle and the ring. He makes sure it’s sturdy before he begins climbing up, leaving everyone in the arena confused. but there isn’t a single person here sitting down! He finally reaches the top of the ladder, where he puts his legs over and takes a seat for a moment.

{Jim Ross}
I have a bad feeling about this.

{Jerry Lawler}
Don’t tell me he’s gonna do what I think he’s going to do!

*The fans in Tennessee are going insane as Alberto begins to stand up on the ladder. Kane watches on from the ring, shaking his head and screaming “NO! NO! NO! NO!” repeatedly. Del Rio gulps as he finally balances himself, and he locks eyes with his rival Kane. Kane watches on in disbelief and awe as Del Rio jumps off, leaping over the flames and landing in the ring! BUT KANE CATCHES HIM ON THE LANDING! KANE’S GOT HIM BY THE THROAT! CHOKESLAM! CHOKESLAM!

{Jim Ross}
BY GOD! BY GOD! HE KILLED HIM! HE KILLED HIM!

{Jerry Lawler}
Alberto Del Rio is fearless!

{Michael Cole}
But it cost him! He’s out! This match is over! All that risk, and no reward!

{Jerry Lawler}
But look at Kane! He’s done too! That took everything out of him!

*The fans are going insane as they stomp, clap, and chant for Del Rio to get up but it's no use! Kane sits up and mouths "Crazy bastard" referring to Del Rio, he tries standing but fails on his first attempt. Kane is absolutely exhausted from this match and takes an extra few moments before getting up. Alberto Del Rio still lies motionless after Kane's vicious counter, Kane makes his way to him and drags him by one arm to the side of the ring, looking to put him in the flames. Kane turns towards the fans and drags his thumb across his own neck and grins as he reaches down and pulls Del Rio to his feet grabbing his neck for another Chokeslam but this time over the rope and onto the flames!

{Jim Ross}
Del Rio is still out cold! Kane's about to win this match!

*Kane lifts Del Rio aiming his body for the fire! Del Rio seems to suddenly snap out of it and reacts instinctively! He wraps Kane's head with his legs while in air and snaps of a head scissor take down out of nowhere! Kane flies towards the ropes but halts hit momentum and turns and gets hit with a big enziguri from Del Rio! Both men hit the mat hard following the move, Del Rio dragging his body away from Kane as to collect himself while Kane himself seems to now be the one that is out cold. Del Rio pulls himself to his feet but remains in the corner, possibly because if he leaves the corner he won't be able to hold his body up himself. He takes a deep breath and walks over to Kane and starts releasing a fury of boots to the downed opponent! He seems to have snapped! He suddenly turns and begins beating his chest and lets out a primal yell as the fans start to roar along with Alberto! He turns back to Kane and grabs the top rope with both his hands, placing his boot on Kane's side and tries shoving him to the outside flames! Kane holds onto the bottom rope for dear life as Alberto has gone into an intense and desperate state to end this match.

{Michael Cole}
Del Rio realizes that the longer this match goes on he's losing two battles. The longer this lasts the greater the chance Kane wins and the greater the chance he won't win the Chamber match later tonight!

*Del Rio keeps up his pressure with his foot but he suddenly falls to the mat as the camera shows that Kane grabbed Del Rio's foot used for his balancing causing him to collapse. Both men race to their feet and start throwing haymakers at each other! Adrenaline pumping, punches landing, both these men desperately trying to put the other down for good. Kane delivers two quick but heavy strikes causing Del Rio to recoil but before he can get to far Kane fires his hand out and grasps Del Rio by the throat! He tries twice to lift Del Rio but the damage to his arm through out the match and Del Rio's remaining will prevent it! Del Rio breaks his grasp and twists his arm behind Kane's back. He uses all he has left in the tank and lifts Kane up, arm still folded and connects with the back suplex, dumping all of Kane's weight onto his arm! Del Rio gets right up as Kane holds the hurt arm in a kneeled state, Alberto rushes over and yanks the arm pulling him up and hooks the arm! He's going for the Cross Armbreaker again! He spins and just as his back hits the ground Kane holds his ground?! Del Rio pulls and twists the arm trying to get Kane to fall but he holds his ground. Kane grits his teeth and pushes his arm deeper into the hold?

{Jerry Lawler}
What's Kane doing? He's pushing his arm deeper into the hold!

*Kane stumbles for a moment almost succumbing to the hold but replants his feet and grasps the throat of Del Rio and flings him in the air and starts to drive him into the ground for a chokeslam! Del Rio gets his feet down preventing the slam and shoves Kane off! He charges in for another enziguri but "The Devil's Favorite Demon" ducks! Del Rio turns around and gets scooped onto Kane's shoulder as he draws his thumb across the throat once again going for the Tombstone Piledriver!

{Jim Ross}
Del Rio is doomed if this move hits!

*Del Rio gets positioned in the piledriver, but starts squirming and fires boots from his upside down position to the jaw of Kane who's grip breaks but instead of falling Del Rio snaps off a head scissor takedown sending Kane flying towards the ropes! Both men scramble up but only Del Rio gets to his feet as Kane grabs the middle rope pulling himself up only to be blasted by a Super Kick!! Kane flies through the middle rope and into the flames as the bell rings and Alberto collapses in the center of the ring!

{Jim Ross}
KANE IS ON FIRE!! THAT MAN IS ON FIRE!

{Michael Cole}
Del Rio has done it! He has beaten Kane at his own game and has won!

{Jerry Lawler}
But at what cost? He still has the Elimination Chamber to go later tonight?!

*Ring staff sprint over and use fire extinguishers to put out the flames as Kane lies motionless. Del Rio rolls to the edge of the ring and tries walking himself but struggles to stand as he falls to a knee. Ricardo sprints down the ramp and puts Del Rio over his shoulder and they both start walking towards the stage but stop at where Kane lies as both men stare a moment....realizing that they have rid themselves of this monster, they begin to turn and walk up the ram-!

















{Jim Ross}
What the hell? What's Randy Orton doing out here?

{Jerry Lawler}
I don't know but Alberto better hope he isn't after him!

{Jim Ross}
You're right King, Alberto is in no shape to do anything right now.

*Orton stalks down the ramp from the stage and meets nose to nose with Alberto Del Rio and a tension filled stare down occurs. After a few seconds he turns his gaze towards the lifeless body of Kane and then back to Del Rio. Alberto smiles before being picked up as saying "Go ahead, I'm done with him. Finish it." Del Rio and Ricardo walk by Orton as he grins and moves towards Kane. Del Rio and Ricardo stop at the top of entrance stage as Orton slowly walks over to Kane, with an evil grin on his face.

{Michael Cole}
Leave him alone! Come on! He just had a match! He was just…

{Jim Ross}
Oh, I think Randy is remembering everything Kane has done to him and his family.

{Jerry Lawler}
Yeah, Randy is going to that special place of his!

*Kane remains motionless, face down in the mat as the referees rush over to Orton, trying to keep him away from Kane. Orton’s smile quickly disappears as he gives the refs a cold icy stare, before taking a step towards them. They flee and run to the other side as Orton watches them, only focusing his attention back to Kane once he’s sure the referees will stay put. Meanwhile, Kane begins to climb back up to his knees, and Orton stands behind him, getting ready for it… RKO! Orton just planted Kane into the floor with the RKO, and it’s lights out for “The Big Red Monster!

{Jim Ross}
The RKO! The RKO to the floor!

{Jerry Lawler}
I think Randy is just getting started…

*The fans pop as Orton stands over Kane, and Del Rio remains on the stage. Even though Kane is being destroyed, he’s not smiling, rather just watching all of these events unfold. Randy looks down at the lifeless body at Kane and sneers before taking a few steps back. Every fan in the arena rise to their feet, they all know what’s coming next! Kane has no idea what’s about to hit him as he once again begins to climb up to his knees. He pushes his upper body up with his hands at first, before slowly getting onto all fours. Orton waits a few more seconds before charging, running feel speed at Kane, lifting up his leg and connecting with the Punt Kick! Kane has been laid out on his back on the floor, and this place has gone nuts!

{Michael Cole}
NO!

{Jim Ross}
By god! The Punt Kick! That’s it! He’s out! He’s out!

{Jerry Lawler}
Kane has been decimated by Alberto Del Rio and Randy Orton tonight!

*The referees sprint over to Orton, with a few more coming out as well to help restrain “The Viper.” He seems to be satisfied with the punt, and he chooses to go willingly. As he is escorted up the ramp by the officials, he locks eyes with Del Rio one more time. Orton lets out another smirk, but Del Rio chooses to answer him with a simple nod. Here tonight at an Eye for an Eye, Alberto Del Rio has finally slayed the monster who has been terrorizing XWL for over three years, and Randy Orton has finally gotten revenge on the man who has destroyed both his life and the life of his family. And after all of these, after everything he’s done, Kane has finally had to deal with the consequences thanks to Alberto Del Rio. Eye for an Eye fades into an advertisement for our next pay-per-view, the Monster Bash!

When the cameras cut to the backstage area in the FedExForum home of the Eye for an Eye pay-per-view Renee Young is stood backstage in the interview area



Renee Young: Ladies and Gentlemen I'm joined at this time the man who both Shawn Michaels and The Amazing Red in the opening contest at Eye for an Eye, Antonio Cesaro.

Upon his introduction the Swiss Sensation, Antonio Cesaro walks into the frame and stands next to Renee

Renee Young: First of all Antonio, congratulations on the victory, but shortly following the match the rumour was that you had been rushed to the emergency room with a torn colon as reported on XWL.com and clearly that's not the case, so what exactly happened after your match?

As Renee asks Cesaro the question Cesaro looks annoyed as he's reminded of what went down earlier that night



What happened? I think you all saw what happened after I ended Shawn Michaels career, The Amazing Red couldn't stand that I showed the world that I am a superior being and tried to steal my moment because I did something that he could never do and beat Shawn Michaels, just like when I defeated The Amazing Red at Supremacy and he had the West Side Army attack me before I could beat Michaels then too, so he had to stoop to making me look like a joke, as if I wasn't even there because he is jealous of me, he should just be grateful that I didn't pin him instead, and have him out of a job instead of Shawn Michaels.

Renee Young: But why didn't you? Some people are saying you purposely pinned Shawn Michaels for revenge after he beat you last year for the United States championship. Is that really the case?

No. That couldn't be further from the truth, it's just like I said I've already beat The Amazing Red, where would the challenge be in beating him again? He can count himself lucky that I don't take the easy way out, and he can thank Hulk Hogan for him still being in a job for the time being. But give credit where it is due and remember that it was Antonio Cesaro who won tonight and it was I, Antonio Cesaro who ended the career of that shrivelled up old man who doesn't know his left eye from his right eye Shawn Michaels, and not the Amazing Red.

Renee Young: But to get back to the rumours about your injury..

Antonio Cesaro chuckles to himself clearly finding something about the breaking news of his injury humorous



They are just that. Silly little rumours. There is not a thing wrong with me, it's just silly little people sitting behind their computers making up stories about me because they cannot be anything like me! I am pound for pound the strongest man this industry has ever and will ever see and I am a former United States champion. A champion of everybody here tonight and one that they were proud of!

As he reminds the fans of his reign as US champion the crowd can be heard booing in the backstage as he listens on from the comfort of the backstage area

Please give a little respect, it's weird we might be in Tennessee right now, but I am the only ten anywhere around here. I am fluent in five different languages, and they cannot even master one. I do them a favour and retire Shawn Michaels so they don't have to suffer through watching him any more and they boo me, I was their champion and they boo me, and I will be their champion again one day. They shouldn't be booing me, they should be cheering for me, go ahead cheer for me! Chant my name!

When prompt the crowd start to boo even louder over the arrogance of Cesaro which doesn't seem to come to a surprise to him in the slightest



Do you see what I have to deal with? I don't deserve this, I am the Personification of the American Dream, but it turns out these people gave up on their dreams a long time ago, and why are they booing me? Because I am successful? Because I am living my dream? It's not my fault that they are flipping burgers for a living while I am living my dream as an XWL Superstar.

He then turns to Renee to talk directly to her

You know Renee I don't think I've ever seen people so...

As he starts to speak in multiple foreign languages the crowd can be heard booing him once again

Gros et paresseux.

Grasso e pigro.

Fett und faul.



Fat and lazy as these Americans, so stupid that they do not know to difference between Syria and Cereal... You're not from America are you Renee?

Renee Young: No, I'm from Canada.

You have good coffee, Tim Horton's, but that is it.

Cesaro turns back to to cameras as he continues speaking

And that is the problem, that is all America has and it is not even theirs. People do not understand me, they think I hate America. I do not hate America, I might be Very European, but let me assure you I am Über American. I came to America, the land of the free and to live the American dream, but it turns out that America does not exist any more, so maybe it is time to stop being so American and be more Swiss like me. Strong, Intelligent, In good shape physically and mentally and disciplined, and then maybe the America I was told about as a children will live again instead of remaining the joke that it has become.

Antonio Cesaro stands still for a few seconds not saying a word as the crowd can be heard chanting "USA, USA, USA" before he speaks up once more

Hail Cesaro!

When Cesaro finishes speaking he walks out of camera shot leaving Renee Young stood by herself as the cameras fade out ending the segment
