Non-Title Triple Threat Match

*As we return from commercial we see Jack Swagger pacing back and forth obviously still upset at what transpired at Xtreme Xmas. Big E Langston then walks up to Swagger with his hands up trying to calm the All-American American down.*

[Big E]
Jack………Jack………JACK!!!!!!

[Swagger]
What man what? What do you want from me?

[Big E]
I’m just trying to talk to you man. You’ve been in some type of mood ever since Xtreme Xmas. Hell you barely said anything at the New Year’s party I threw. You just sat there looking like somebody kicked your puppy off of a bridge.

[Swagger]
First off don’t talk about Baxter like that. Secondly you were ringside for the match. You know what happened and why I’m so pissed off about it. Wade Barrett somehow found a way to sneak out of the match with a victory.

[Big E]
Jack. Now you know that’s not exactly how it went. I was there, I seen it all go down and it wasn’t pretty. You let Wade Barrett get inside of your head. You lost your temper and blew the hell up. Wade didn’t find a way to sneak out of Xtreme Xmas with a W. You and that short fuse of yours gave him one. I know you heard the refs count, and even if you didn’t you graduated from college so you know how to click on the XWL rules page.

*Big E looks into the camera and smiles*



[Swagger]
Um E I don’t think I like that smile. What do you have planned?

*Big E pats Swagger on the back*

[Big E]
Don’t worry about it my friend. It will help you with your anger issues trust me I’ve seen the results and it is amazing.

[Swagger]
Oh god, It’s not Dr. Shelby is it???

[Big E]
No but that is a pretty good idea, I’ll just ask Aj for it. We have history so she shouldn’t snap on me, although she did smack Lil E……. Anyways it’s not Dr. Shelby because it’s something even bigger and better. Greg Jackson has his gym. The Gracie’s have their academy. The Hart’s have their Dungeon and now Ladies and Gentlemen, mostly you Jack since you’re the only one here besides the camera guy. I bring to you……The One……….The Only…….. BIG E’S BIG DOJO ohhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh.

*Big E pulls his phone out and plays a round of applause that he has on an app then takes a bow*

[Big E]
Thank you, thank you all, oh stop it your too kind. Nah keep going thank you thank you. So Jack with my knowledge of martial arts and being able to balance body and mind do………… hey don’t look at me like that. I’ve watched enough Kung Fu movies to know what I’m talking about. And I even got you a special trainer. Jack turn around and tell me what you think!

*Jack turns around and his jaw is instantly dropped at the sight of this "special" trainer. It is none other than the Iranian Legend, The Iron Sheik! He's seen patting Jack Swagger on the shoulder while drinking a beer.*



[Sheik]
Hello Mr. Jack The Swagger, I watch the Breakdown and I see the Roman Reigns make you humble earlier tonight. The Wade Barrett no good piece of shit get to your head, that jabroni think he better than the All-American. Mr. The Langston give me the phone call and say that Sheikie baby be best trainer for the Swagger.

*Jack, jaw still dropped, slowly turns around to face Langston.*

[Big E]
I see you two are getting along already! Excellent!

[Sheik]
We start training now. Everybody know Sheikie training montage better than anybody, make you like world champion, guarantee. You do training old country way, you make the Wade Barrett humble, you save the Zab Colter, we go out to nightclub, drink beer, have good night.

*Jack turns around once more to face Sheik, putting one hand on his chin.*

[Swagger]
.........What kind of training are we talking about here?

*The scene cuts to The Iron Sheik putting Swagger in the Camel Clutch, with Big E right in Swagger's face, yelling at him. Swagger is in unbearable pain, getting closer and closer to either passing out or breaking his back.*

[Sheik]
I PUT YOU IN CAMEL CLUTCH, FACK YOUR ASS, MAKE YOU HUMBLE!

[Big E]
Don't you tap out on me! If you give up now, how the hell are you going to beat a pissed off Englishman at Uprising?! Let me tell you something, you might not have known this, but your career and your future is on the damn line at Uprising! YOU LOSE, YOU'RE FINISHED!

*Swagger struggles to speak as Sheik tightens the hold.*

[Swagger]
Ah....I.....think......my.....back.....is......broken......

[Big E]
Nonsense! Sheik, wrap this up, we've gotta move on to the next phase.

*Sheik lets go of Swagger, although probably not in a safe way, because he slams his face on the ground. Swagger barely manages to stumble to his feet, his back clearly bent out of shape.*

[Swagger]
.....How.....is this......going to make......me feel.......less angry?

[Big E]
This is a LEARNING experience, Jack! You'll be fine, trust me. Now, the next phase of the training......At Uprising, Barrett is going to use every no good, dirty trick in the book, so you got to be prepared and aware at ALL times! Like.......now!

*Big E points the opposite direction of Swagger, which prompts Jack to turn around......into the path of a steel chair by The Iron Sheik. Swagger goes down, and is instantly unconscious. Sheik looks down at Swagger, looking as though he feels slightly bad for doing what he did.*

[Big E]
I told you you always have to be aware! Jack, can you hear me? Huh.....looks like training will end early tonight.

*Sheik, for whatever reason, slams the chair on the ground and storms off.*

[Sheik]
FACK the Jack Swagger!

*Some time passes, and Big E is found sitting opposite Swagger, Jack is holding his skull, still rocked from the chair shot.*

[Big E]
See Man I told you that this would help you didn't I. Don't you feel better already? I know I do. There is no way after being humbled that you can still have your anger problems. Now Jack don't look at me like that because this was for your own good. Your anger was out of control and I found a way for you to keep it in check. Anytime you feel yourself losing your temper just remember this moment and that should help you regain your focus. With me by your side and the training of Big E's Big Dojo, plus you can't forget about Sheikie Baby. There is no way that Barrett, hell anybody in XWL will be able to stop us after this. Now let's go get you an Ice pack.

*Big E walks out from the camera's view and Swagger is seen alone, his hands on his face, groaning in pain. The segment fades to black.*

The Wyatt's theme cues the lights in the arena to dime then fade. A lantern illuminates the stage, The Wyatt Family can be faintly be seen around the edges of the faint light. They start to progress towards the ring for Luke Harper's Breakdown debut. They reach the base of the ring and Wyatt takes his seat, he lifts the lantern to his face and blows, extinguishing the lantern and causing the arena to become lit again with Harper standing in the ring.

Harper passes back and forth in the ring staring at the apron un-!

The lights suddenly shut completely off, they had just returned after The Wyatt Family had made their entrance, but now it's almost darker than it was then, the only light coming from the source of flashing cameras. That is until the titantron illuminates the stage, bu only slightly as the footage that begins to play, is a room almost as dark. A man's shown rocking back and forth in a rocking chair almost like Bray Wyatt's, but it's black, black as the arena is right now. The camera slowly zooming in on  a man's long hair that hangs as his head is lowered. Sadistic laughter  is the only sound, until it abruptly stops in mid cackle, but their head remains in a dropped position.




Silent for a few seconds more, until they scream out in a way that you'd hear in a horror film, it's unexpected, it's unexplainable, it's...downright creepy. The unsettling screech stops, and in a whispering tone, we hear a faintly said "Follow....the....buzzards..." it's a strange moment right now, and it gets a lot more strange when the man raises his head up, revealing an almost skeleton like expression gazes into the lens of the camera, revealing the man as none other than the always unpredictable Jeff Hardy.



[Jeff Hardy]
An interesting statement to make, don't you think, Bray Wyatt? Why do we as humans, need to follow the buzzards? Are we supposed to do as they do, prey on the lifeless corpses before us? Hunt for what can't hunt back? Is that your message, be a coward, do nothing but pick up the scraps of others? Funny, that's exactly what you do, isn't it?



[Jeff Hardy]
Your pack of wolves dismember everything in their sight, and you swoop in out of nowhere, to reap the benefits, to preach your message, but is it a message worth listening to?





[Jeff Hardy]
Should we follow the buzzards? Should we be like them? Should we all just prey on what has already been? Or should be pray that day never comes, the day where life as we know it, ceases. The day when nothing is left, but a bunch of buzzards flying the friendly skies looking for an easy target, a target that couldn't fight back. That's the future you want, isn't it? That's why you attack others in a pack mentality, you destroy them physically, tire them mentally, and brainwash them into seeing your point, but you don't actually have one, do you?




[Jeff Hardy]
There's no method to your madness, you don't stand for a better tomorrow, only a tomorrow, that doesn't exist. Because it was plagued by your word, and followed by your "buzzards." You can stand on your moral high ground as much as you like, but how long until you fall like the rest? Do you think you're above them? Do you believe you're better? Do you believe that you're, different? Able to decide what is, and what isn't. Allowed to pick and choose what's right, and what's wrong? That's what's really wrong, isn't it? It's funny, you preach, but you don't teach..like a leech you prey on innocent blood, blood that you never shed for yourself. But don't worry, at Uprising, I promise you...I PROMISE YOU! That will change. For I am not your victim, you are mine. Your message is not one to spread, it's one to destroy, and it's one that will BURN with you!

The emotion in his tone is strong, his eyes though blackened by the room stare intensely into the camera. He pulls at his hair, twisting his fingers through the sides, continually rocking in the chair. All until he stops, and gets closer to the camera than he's been, covering the entire focus with nothing but a picture of his vividly painted face. A face that after hearing his words, almost mirrors that of a skeleton, symbolically staring at them as if he were what's left after The Buzzards have their way.


[Jeff Hardy]
It won't be long, before THE WYATT FAMILY is left...FOR THE BUZZARDS!


The Wyatt's stand around the ring staring at the tron, the two brothers raging towards it while Bray stands, staring in a calmed state.The-!

vs.

You Think You Know Me



We are brought back to the theme of The Master Manipulator, Edge. In the ring already we can see Razor Ramon stretching out his arms as he watches his opponent enter out onto the stage while Lillian Garcia introduces him.



Paul Heyman, Goldberg, and a reluctant Ryback all enter behind Edge.

{{King}}
Welcome back ladies and gentleman!! In the ring now is Razor Ramon, ready to take on The Ultimate Opportunist Edge!

{{JR}}
Well it looks like Edge won’t be alone, of course Goldberg and The Ryback have to be out here to back up Heyman’s client. I wonder if he even knows the meaning of a fair fight!

Edge enters into the ring in his usual rock star fashion and climbs the nearest turnbuckle to soak in the boos with a smirk.

{{King}}
Well Razor Ramon knows a thing or two about the numbers game. As does the now, so it looks like tonight he may be getting a taste of some familiar medicine.

{{JR}}
Medicine? More like poison, seeing as it’s coming from Paul Heyman!!

The ref signals for the bell to ring as the two circle one another.

DING! DING!! DING!!!

{{JR}}
Here we go!!

The two lock up and Razor is able to back Edge up into the corner. Razor begins to throw kicks and elbows at The Rated-R Superstar as the ref begins to count…1…..2…..3….4….. The ref gets in between the two, forcing Razor to throw up his hands and back away. The ref takes a step back, thinking that Razor is finished, but Edge pays the price as Ramon throws out a final kick. The ref once again gets in Razor’s face, but Ramon just pushes the ref away gently and turns towards Edge only to be hit by a low blow!!!

{{King}}
Owch!! A low blow!! The ref didn’t see it!! He was turned around after Razor pushed him!!

{{JR}}
Well that’s what happens when you try to cheat a cheater. Ramon tried playing Edge’s game and paid the price for it. No one can manipulate the rules like Edge!!

Edge quickly rolls Ramon up as the ref turns back towards the action!! 1…..2… Kick out!! Edge quickly goes for a second pin!! 1….2.. Another Kick Out!! Edge slams the mat in frustration as Razor gets to his feet, holding his stomach after the low blow. The two lock up once more, this time Edge is able to get the advantage, but is unable to hold it as Ramon fights back. The match goes like this for some time, back and forth, neither man backing down nor letting up until they both go for a running cross body and collide in the middle of the ring!!

{{JR}}
Both men are down!! It looks like they were thinking the same thing!!

Goldberg climbs up onto the apron, glaring down at Ramon.

{{JR}}
Uh-oh.

The ref goes to deal with Goldberg, while on the other side of the ring Heyman can be seen yelling something at The Ryback, who reluctantly slides into the ring and throws Edge on top of Ramon!!! The Ryback quickly leaves the ring as the ref turns around….1…..2….. Kick Out!!!

{{JR}}
That was a close one!!

Edge picks his opponent up by his hair, but Ramon is able to kick The Rated-R Superstar in the gut and deliver a huge uppercut!!



Ramon turns towards the stage for a moment before realizing that this is just another Brock Lesnar false alarm on Breakdown. He turns around, only it’s right into an Edgecution!! ..1…2…. Kick Out!!

{{JR}}
Heyman always has a plan! But this one just wasn’t good enough!!

Edge lifts Ramon up but Razor is able to deliver an eye rake to The Rated-R Superstar!! Heyman can be seen yelling something at Edge, who nods at his manager. Edge begins to unbuckle the turnbuckle as the ref has his back turned while yelling at Ramon for the eye rake. The ref turns around and sees what Edge is doing and frantically goes to stop him from unbuckling the turnbuckle!! As the ref deals with Edge, Goldberg can be seen taking a step towards the ring but Heyman stops him. Paul is shown looking at The Ryback and shouting something at him, when it looks like The Ryback is refusing Heyman can be heard shouting “If you don’t do it to him then I’ll have Brock and Goldberg break Sangriento’s other arm. And you know I’ll do it!!”.. The Ryback then reluctantly enters the ring and delivers a huge Meathook to Ramon as the ref is still dealing with Edge!!

{{JR}}
No!!

The ref finally gives up on getting the turnbuckle back on and turns towards the action. Edge begins to pull his hair back in the corner, daring Ramon to get back to his feet. The ref, who realized that Ramon was on his feet when he turned around, begins to shout at Heyman, telling him not to get involved. Just then a man jumps over the barricade from the crowd and enters the ring!! It’s Christian!! He enters the ring and grabs Edge, throwing him into the exposed turnbuckle!! Christian exits through the crowd where he came from before Goldberg could get his hands on him! Back in the ring Edge stumbles towards Romon, and right into a Razor’s Edge!!! Heyman gets up on the apron and begins to yell at the ref as does Goldberg but the ref refuses to be distracted and counts..1…2…..3..!!!

{{JR}}
Ha!! It looks like Heyman got cheated for a change!!

Ramon quickly exits the ring and makes his way up the ramp while his theme plays. Heyman, Goldberg, and The Ryback all enter the ring and begin to help Edge back to his feet before we go to a commercial break



As the last commercial comes to a close we are brought to a backstage hallway where Paul Heyman is seen talking to his clients, Goldberg, The Ryback, and Edge. Matt Striker walks up to the three, mic in hand.

{{Matt Striker}}
Hey Paul. Do you and your clients mind answering a few questions?

{{Paul Heyman}}
That depends. Do you feel like asking a few questions?

{{Matt Striker}}
Uhm. Yeah. I suppose that’s what I get paid for nowadays.. Alright. So Paul, first things first. What are your thoughts on Christian’s actions during the match that just took place moments ago between Razor Ramon and your client Edge?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Christian did what he thought was right. Edge here, Christian’s best friend, his tag team partner for all those years, betrayed him. Christian wanted revenge and he got it…. Edge wanted to take his career to a place it’s never been before in any company. He wants to be right up there with the greats.. Shawn Micheals, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold, Brockkkk Lesnarrrr.. My clients has been successful in the past, but he’s never been the most successful, and that’s exactly what he wants to be. Now, he had a choice, either join Christian in reuniting E&C, or go on to greatness on his own without anyone to hold him back. The reason that Christian interfered tonight is because he is jealous of what Edge has done with his career. He wishes that he was Edge. He even uses Edge’s spear now!! If that isn’t proof enough then what is? Christian knew that Edge was his only chance to getting back to the top, and Edge knew that I was his only chance to being the top, being the best, being the one to beat.

{{Matt Striker}}
So what you’re saying is the only way that Edge can be looked upon as an equal to the likes of John Cena or The Rock is by cheating? Using others to win? Be-

Edge cuts Striker off

{{Edge}}
Listen Matt. The last time you saw me here in the XWL I had my shoulders on the mat and Ted DiBiase pinning me for the one, two, three. Ted DiBiase!!!I could see myself maybe losing to the likes of Brock Lesnar or Goldberg, but Ted DiBiase?? If a loss to Ted isn’t a wakeup call, I don’t know what is. So I left, I needed to go find an.. opportunity. I needed to find a way to become.. unbeatable. I needed to find a way to make my name immortal. I don’t want to be known as great, I want to be known as the best. Paul Heyman is the best. He’s the best manager, he’s the best mind, he’s the best here in the XWL at what he does. If he offers to have Goldberg here watch my back, then so be it. If I’m going to be watching Goldberg’s back in return? That’s okay with me. Paul Heyman has a plan, and I trust it. Simple as that.

{{Matt Striker}}
So should we expect to see any retaliation for what happened tonight?

{{Edge}}
Christian cheated me out of a victory tonight Matt. I cheated him out of a future here in this company. Without me Christian is nothing. Just like without Batman Robin is nothing, just a normal super hero, not special, but because of his affiliation with Batman he still is considered above average. If there was no Edge, there would be no Christian, however without Christian I would still be here today, still be a former World Champion, and still be The Rated-R Superstar because I’m better than Christian, simple as that.  Christian needed me and I told him no. I did it in a more violent way then necessary sure, but that’s just the way that Paul Heyman Guys go about things!

{{Paul Heyman}}
That’s right. Christian did what he thought was necessary, now we, not Edge, but we, will do what’s necessary to make sure that each and every true Heyman Guy is successful in moving to the top where we all belong.

{{Matt Striker}}
What do you mean, true Heyman Guy?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Well I mean those willing to move their careers forward.

{{Matt Striker}}
Are you saying that any of your clients ar-

{{Paul Heyman}}
Yes. I am. And I don’t need you to finish the rest of your question to know what you’re asking. You think you’re so clever don’t you Matt? Trying to make me admit that I don’t think anything of The Ryback anymore even though he is my client. What do you think will happen? Do you think The Ryback will hurt me? Shell Shock me? Ha! He knows better. He knows his place. He knows what would happen to him if he does. More importantly he knows what would happen to Sangriento if he does!! The Ryback is my client because Goldberg defeated him, not because I want him to be my client. He clearly wants to be back with Don West and his West Side Army. He wants to be on the losing side. And that’s fine by me. If he wants to waste a career full of potential on Don West, then so be it. But right now, he’s not Don West’s client. Because of that big ego of his he’s technically my client. But honestly Matt. He’s not my client, not really, no, not to me, to me he’s just leverage. Leverage to use against Don West. And The Ryback knows all this. And he won’t hurt me. Because he knows better. Isn’t that right Ryback?

{{The Ryback}}
…

{{Paul Heyman}}
What’s that? You want Goldberg here to finish the work that Brock Lesnar started and break Sangriento’s arm next week?

{{The Ryback}}
No. no, you’re right Paul. Whatever you say.

{{Matt Striker}}
What? Ryback! You have a match against Kane and Goldberg next week, and no Heyman Guy is allowed to get involved! This is your chance to get back at Paul by defeating Goldberg!!

{{Paul Heyman}}
That’s what one would think. But thanks to this..

Heyman holds up a sheet of paper.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Document signed by all of my clients, if any of my clients are to so much as put a hand on another client of mine, even in a match, then he will not only no longer be my client, but he will be fired from the XWL!!! Just like Amazing Red was may I just add!

{{Paul Heyman}}
Yeah. I am. Now Matt, do you have any more questions?

{{Matt Striker}}
Actually yeah, what are your plans with CM Punk?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Who said I have plans for him? He’s my friend, am I not allowed to offer him some friendly advice every once in a while?

{{Matt Striker}}
So you’re saying you aren’t trying t-

{{Paul Heyman}}
Like I said Matt, CM Punk is my friend. Now if you don’t mind I’d like to start talking about my actual clients again.

{{Matt Striker}}
Alright.

Striker turns to Goldberg

{{Matt Striker}}
Earlier tonight you defeated The Devil’s Favorite Demon, but not without the help of both Edge and The Ryback. Did you ask Paul Heyman to have them get involved, like Brock asked him not to throw in the towel at X-Treme X-Mas, or was this his own doing?

[Golberg]
Are you serious right now? Do you think for a moment that what you said was the least bit correct? Why would I ask for help in a wrestling match? I had no control over that. I don't need help when it comes to my singles competition. However, if help is given, I am not going to complain. Why should I? I won, right? So get over it.

{{Matt Striker}}
Well, aren't you a bit worried about what Kane might do in response to losing to you?

Goldberg runs a hand over his forehead.

[Golberg]
You know, I just don't get it with you people. Look at me, Matt. I am one, if not the most, dominant man in all of sports entertainment. The people who have lost to me can be counted for days. Do you think for a second that I am scared of anyone at all? I don't care if Kane is angry. I'm pretty pissed off all the time too!

Striker slowly turns back to Paul.

{{Matt Striker}}
Alright then. Paul, do you have any thoughts of how your clients actions may affect you when it comes to the Big Red Machine, Kane?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Matt. How many matches have you won in your career?

{{Matt Striker}}
Uhmm, well I never counted..

{{Paul Heyman}}
I bet you could count them on your two hands. Maybe just maybe you’d have to use your toes as well. Goldberg won one hundred and seventy three matches in a row. That’d take 18 people to count that many wins on their fingers. Goldberg has proved that he’s always on his A game. Every day, every week, every Breakdown, Pay Per View, it doesn’t matter what event he’s wrestling in, it doesn’t matter who he’s wrestling Goldberg puts everything he has into every match because he simply wants to be the best wherever he goes. Just like Brock Lesnar, Goldberg has been successful both in and out of the ring. He’s proven that if he wants to accomplish something there’s nothing and nobody that can stand in his way. No one can tell Brock Lesnar no. And no one would dare tell Goldberg no. Kane is a monster. He’s a machine. And he’s sadistic alright. But Goldberg here. He’s just as big, just as strong, and just as tough as Kane. And as far as being sadistic goes? Well. Between Edge and myself I think we’ve got that area covered. So Kane can try whatever he thinks is necessary, but we’ll be ready. We’re always ready. I’m Paul Heyman after all!

{{Matt Striker}}
That you are.

Striker turns his attention back to Goldberg

{{Matt Striker}}
So you got your first win on your first night as a Heyman Guy. What’s next? Another winning streak? A title maybe?

[Golberg]
I think you need to change your question there Matt. It's more of, "Who's Next?" You see, I am a simple man, Striker. You'll get to know that quickly. I am not going to sit here, claiming to want some title shot because as of right now, I don't. What I want to do, is make sure people realize just how dominant a group can be if led by the right person and backed up by the right people. Another winning streak? Why not? I'm the baddest man in the locker room as of late. The only person that would stand a chance of beating me is Paul's other hand. I have nothing to worry about at all. My focus though, is to make sure Heyman is noticed by the rest of the company as being what he truly is: The most sinister man to manage a faction.

{{Matt Striker}}
So what you are saying is that you think Heyman's group of thugs is something to take notice of?

[Golberg]
Are you deaf? Yes that's what I'm saying! Is there anything that matches us in the back? No! Time and time again, faction after faction has passed through XWL, disbanning within a month. The only stable, faction, whatever you want to call them, that has stuck around is the West Side Army. Paul Heyman and his group of so called "thugs" brought them to their knees. I'm just stating facts, kid.

{{Matt Striker}}
I see. So Paul, earlier tonight Don West announced that he single handedly set up a rematch between Brock Lesnar and Sangriento, thoughts?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Well. I’m just curious what kind of match he has in mind!! You think that Brock Lesnar is afraid of Sangriento? After X-Treme X-Mas? After breaking his arm!! Brock Lesnar is on a whole ‘nother level than Sangriento, he’s above Sangriento, just like we are above the West Side Army.

{{Matt Striker}}
But Sangri-

{{Paul Heyman}}
But nothing Matt. “But” is for losers, “but” is an excuse, The West Side Army may have to use the word “but”, not me. I don’t need excuses, I make plans so that I don’t need excuses, I move mountains so that my clients don’t need excuses. That’s the difference between West and I. He plans for the “future” while I plan for the present, the here and now. I make sure that my clients have a future before dreaming of what could be. Don West had plans for Corey Graves, he had dreams for Amazing Red, but none of those panned out because Don’s head was in tomorrow land which led to his clients getting fired and broken!! Brock Lesnar wants real competition. He’s been begging me for a real challenge ever since he returned to the XWL. Unfortunately I have so far been unable to come through. Sangriento is not a challenge to Brock Lesnar. However, my client wants to fight at Uprising, and he wants to fight Sangriento. Not to prove that he’s better, we already know that, he already showed that to everyone at X-Treme X-Mas. No. Uprising will be about more than just winning or losing. Uprising will be about embarrassing Sangriento, making it so that he’s not only physically in pain, but mentally as well. We want to hurt him deep down, we want him to feel a pain that even a broken arm can’t compare to. He’s a fighter all right, I have to admit that, Sangriento has some heart. But heart is what gets people hurt. Courage doesn’t make heroes, it makes body bags. Live to fight another day, that’s my motto, and it’s worked so far. Sangriento may be willing to compete with a broken arm, but after X-Treme X-Mas, the pain will be too much, not only in his arm but deep down in his heart. Don West may think that he has me backed into a corner by forcing this match, but he’s mistaken. Sure, I would much rather have my client facing someone more on his level, like say John Cena, Stone Cold, or The Rock. But we have unfinished business, loose ends, with Sangriento, and Uprising is just the place to take care of them, that way come Final Stand, I can find a real opponent worthy of facing Brock Lesnar!!

{{Matt Striker}}
How do you plan on hurting Sangriento at Uprising?

{{Paul Heyman}}
By taking that silly little mask off of his soon to be bloody and battered face! At X-Treme X-Mas you could hear Sangriento cry out in pain, but at Uprising, we want to see him in pain. We want to see his face as Brock Lesnar breaks his other arm! We want to embarrass him by taking what he holds most dear! Maybe that will make up for him and Don West wasting our time for all these months proving what everyone knows!

{{Matt Striker}}
So you plan on having Brock Lesnar take off Sangriento’s mask during the match?

{{Paul Heyman}}
No. That’d be too easy. Brock Lesnar is a former UFC, WWE, and NCAA champion. He’s the only man to be able to say that, in the world! He’s the best in the world!! Better than The Rock, better than Stone Cold, and much much much muccchh better than Sangriento.

{{Matt Striker}}
Better than your.. friend, CM Punk?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Is CM Punk a former UFC Champion? Is he a former NCAA Champion? CM Punk may have been the best in the world, but Brock’s back and more dangerous than ever. So in my eyes, yes, Brock Lesnar is better than CM Punk, and he will be until Punk proves me wrong, if he’s able to.. But that’s besides the point, what matters is that we all know if Brock Lesnar wanted to he could take Sangriento’s mask off by force, hell he could find Sangriento in the parking lot and take it off right here tonight Who’d be able to stop him?? But no. Brock’s three times Sangriento’s size, forcing the mask off wouldn’t prove anything. We don’t want to take the mask off of Sangriento during that match Matt. We want to take it off after the match, better yet, we want him to take it off after that match!

{{Matt Striker}}
And how do you plan on doing that?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Well, Don West made a challenge tonight, now it’s my turn to make a challenge of my own to him! At Uprising, I’m willing to put The Ryback’s contract on the line, if West is willing to put Sangriento’s mask on the line.

{{Matt Striker}}
You want a contract versus mask match? But what if you lose? Then The Ryback will be West’s again?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Yes. But Matt, is there even a “what if” for this match? A fully rested Brock Lesnar against a broken, defeated, Sangriento? Even if both were healthy, hell, even if Brock was the one with the broken arm, we all know that my client would come out on top!! So yes. If Brock loses then West can have The Ryback back. He’s been nothing but dead weight since becoming my client either way!!

{{Matt Striker}}
But just a couple of weeks ago you were saying how The Ryback is full of potential? What changed?

{{Paul Heyman}}
I talked to him. That’s what changed. I realized just how corrupted Don West has made him.

Paul turns towards The Ryback

{{Paul Heyman}}
Has made you! You’re a monster, a beast, a machine. You should be tearing apart this roster limb for limb, kicking ass first and taking names after. But instead it seems that all you care about is The West Side Army. And that makes you weak. Sure, Edge, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar are all willing to look out for one another, but they didn’t become a Heyman Guy to help anyone out other than themselves. And that’s the way it should be in this business, because that’s what it is, a business. This isn’t high school, there’s no need to make friends. Are you willing to risk your health, risk your career for Sangriento?

{{The Ryback}}
Yes. Yes I am.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Well that’s exactly why you will never truly be a Heyman Guy. You let others cloud your judgment. I can’t help you if you aren’t willing to help yourself. When Edge helped Goldberg out against Kane earlier tonight it wasn’t out of the kindness of his heart, it wasn’t because Edge cares about Goldberg, hell it’s not even because Edge likes Goldberg, he did it because he knows that it’s what’s best for his own career. Goldberg repaid the favor during Edge’s match against Razor Ramon. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. That’s how Heyman Guy’s go about their business. Because we’re winners. We thrive to be the best that there is and selfishness is the only way to achieve just that… But I digress, Don West, if you’re watching this, you’ve been challenged. Mask versus career… That is, if Sangriento can even make it past our tag team match next week!

{{Matt Striker}}
Speaking of the tag team match, what are your thoughts on Kane teaming with Goldberg?

{{Paul Heyman}}
Well. I’m sure that Kane isn’t the happiest after what happened in his match earlier. However he’s been in this business a long time and he knows what it takes to succeed. I’m sure that Kane will understand that what we did earlier had nothing to do with him, it wasn’t personal. And if he cares about winning anywhere as much as we do then I’m sure that he’ll be willing to work with Goldberg.

{{Matt Striker}}
Alright. And my last question for you Paul. Earlier West said that the only reason that your clients have joined you is to “hold onto their past”. What are your thoughts on that statement?

{{Paul Heyman}}
The past? Sure, Edge, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, they were all successful in the past, hell they were more than successful. But I don’t plan on bringing them back to the glory days, I don’t plan on making them into what they once were. This is the XWL, this is the company for new beginnings. That’s why I plan on recreating my clients. Making them better than they ever were.

{{Matt Striker}}
But Don still does have a point. He’s managed wrestlers likes Sangriento, The Ryback, and Corey Graves. All of whom have yet to taste success. While you have Edge, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar, all of whom could just ride off of their name and their past success. Are you not willing to take on the challenge that Don West has taken on time and time again?

{{Paul Heyman}}
And what would that be?

{{Matt Striker}}
Creating a nobody into a somebody! Or was the Curtis Axel bust your last try at that?

{{Paul Heyman}}
I gave Curtis Axel everything that he needed to become successful yet time and time again he just proved that all he’ll ever be is a McGillicutty!! I gave him the chance to be an Axel, a man with a perfect legacy. But he threw it all away, he refused to listen to me and he paid the price thanks to The Ryback over here. As for the “challenge” that you speak of. Well, let’s just say tha-

Heyman stops midsentence as none other than Prince Devitt is seen walking down the hallway that Heyman and his clients are standing in. Devitt quickly rushes by Edge, bumping into him by accident. The Rated-R Superstar turns Devitt around angrily.

{{Edge}}
Watch where you’re going man!

{{Prince Devitt}}
Not now, I’m busy, I don’t have time for this.

Devitt turns to leave but Edge grabs him and spins him back around.

{{Edge}}
Do you know who I am? You don’t speak to me like that kid. Especially not after bumping into me.

Devitt gets right up into Edge’s face.

{{Prince Devitt}}
I know who you are. But like I said, I don’t have time for this..

Goldberg gently moves Edge aside so that Devitt is now face to face with the beast.

{{The Ryback}}
Oh come on, leave him alone. Didn’t you see what happened to his buddies earlier?

{{Prince Devitt}}
Shut up. I didn’t ask for your help meathead.

The Ryback glares at Prince, looking like he is about to take Devitt out himself, but Heyman laughs at Devitt’s response.[/b]

{{Paul Heyman}}
You really know how to get yourself into ho- well in this case boiling water, don’t you kid?.. The Ryback is right, he’s been through a lot tonight. Let him go through boys.

Devitt looks at Heyman for a second before smirking and walking past Heyman’s clients.

{{Prince Devitt}}
That’s more like it.

{{Edge}}
Why you arrogant little..

Edge makes a move towards Devitt but is stopped by Heyman

{{Paul Heyman}}
Now, now Edge. Remember, we don’t fight for free.

Devitt passes Heyman and begins to go on his way until Heyman calls out to him.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Hey kid.. Good luck finding whoever did those terrible things to your buddies.

Heyman then turns back towards Striker

{{Paul Heyman}}
Anymore questions Matt?

{{Matt Striker}}
No, I think that’s about it Paul, thanks a lot.

{{Paul Heyman}}
No problem Matt, any time.

And with that Heyman and his clients exit the scene and we go to a hype up video for the Main Event.

**The camera fades to the backstage area where we see Matt Striker preparing to interview Wade Barrett**

Matt Striker
Joining me at this time is the man that had a sucessfull return to ing ring competition at X-Treme Xmas Wade Barrett, Now Wade going into that match were you at all concerned with your opponent?

Wade Barrett
Of course I wasn't Matt, I've been saying for weeks that Swagger's all bark and no bite and I proved that to the world when I defeated him in the match he requested. That man's true colors were shown when he got himself disqualified in order to escape the beating I was giving him. Since that match people have been accusing me of being afraid of Jack and his buddy Big E Langston, claiming that I was "lucky" to get out of the ring after Jack got disqualified. The fact is that these people couldn't be more wrong, I could've quite easily destroyed both of them just like I did Ezekiel Jackson last year but I had already acomplished what I set out to do that night by emerging victorious in that match and making a mockery out of Jack's tribute to the currently injured Zeb Colter.

Matt Striker
Will you be granting Swagger a rematch due to how that confrontation ended?

Wade Barrett
What's the point? Swagger could shoot me in the knee right before that match and the result would remain the same. Swagger doesn't have it in him to keep up this nice guy act he's got going on and sooner or later he'll have made his last mistake, obviously I'm the only one that can remember who the REAL Jack Swagger is. The cowardly thug that has a love for ambushing people from behind, he gave everyone a sneak peek back when he attackd me and everyone simply thought he was mad about Zeb. The fact is without Zeb around to contain him, Swagger's true nature will come out to play and the fool foolishly branding him as friend will be the first to fall.

Matt Striker
Last question Wade due to Big E being in Swagger's corner at X-Treme Xmas many people are speculating that you'll pay him a visit similar to the one you paid Zeb a few months ago.

Wade Barrett
I gave Mr. Langston an oppertunity to back away and let me handle my business and how did he repay this generous offer? by acompanying Swagger to ringside, Big E has made his decision and he chose to interfere. I'm assuming that he actually believes he'll be able to protect Swagger from me instead of just being caught in the crossfire. Maybe that's why Swagger likes having him around, someone to try and distract me while he runs away and hides, trying to save his own skin instead of standing beside his only firend in the world and fighting me like a man, not even a man really if he needs backup just so he has the courage to look me in the eyes.

Matt Striker
Last question Wade, earlier on in the show Jack was shown training with the Iron Shiek for a rematch against you what're your thoguhts?

Wade Barrett
First off I already told you where I stand on rematches so I'm not sure who he's training for and secondly what good is training wth a demented pensioner going to do?Swagger lost the match and his soloution is to take advise from Big E? the guy's only been here ten minuites and he suddenly thinks he knows what it takes to defeat me. I wouldn't be surprised if Langston's training regimine for Swagger isn't just a bunch of things he saw in movie montages strung together. There's no denying the Iron Shiek is a legend of this industry however he's never seen anything like me, he's from an age filled with over muscled men kicking and punching for an entire match. Those guys are too weak for this business nowadays, none of them would last five minuites in the ring with me so how can be help Swagger in any way to defeat me? I wouldn't be surprised if Shiek just wanted to be on TV for a bit to feel relevent once more, to take another shot at glory by coaching some superstar against his rival. This is not a movie, If Swagger wants to train with a dinosaur that's fine, good for him but if Shiek thinks he would stand a chance against me then he's just plain crazy and should be taken to an asylum before he gets himself hurt.

**Wade then walks off screen as it fades to black**

GO!!

We return to the theme of Christian as Lillian Garcia announces him. In the ring already is Big E Langston, awaiting his opponent’s arrival. Christian enters, looking out towards all his peeps before making his way into the ring.
{{King}}
Welcome back ladies and gentleman!! It looks like Christian is about to take on Big E Langston!!

{{JR}}
I’d watch my back if I were Christian, after what he did to Edge just moments ago! Costing him the match.

{{King}}
But Paul Heyman said that he understands that Christian was just getting revenge and that there would be no retaliation. An eye for an eye right?

{{JR}}
Yeah, and Paul Heyman always keeps his word right?

Christian enters the ring and the ref signals for the bell to ring and the match to begin!! The match goes back and forth, Big E using his size and strength to his advantage while Christian uses his brains and experience to take down the giant. Christian is finally able to build some momentum, flooring Big E with a dropkick before climbing the turnbuckle. Big E however gets back to his feet rather quickly and charges towards Christian, knocking him into a sitting position on the turnbuckle!! Christian delivers an elbow and sets up for a tornado DDT, but Big E is able to deliver a few elbows of his own and escape the clutch. Big E sets up for a top rope suplex but Christian is able to fight back, delivering an array of punches until the monster is forced to fall to the mat! Big E quickly gets back to his feet once again, only to be hit with a “Flashpoint”, also known as a diving European uppercut!!! He goes for the pin..1.. Kick out!!

{{JR}}
It’s going to take a whole lot more to keep Big E down!!

[b]Christian picks Big E up only to be hit with a gut kick. Big E then picks Christian up onto his shoulders, in position for the Big Ending!! But Christian is able to wiggle out, falling behind Big E and hitting the Kill Switch!!! He goes for the pin…1….2.. kick out!! Christian slaps the mat in frustration before climbing the turnbuckle and hitting a Frogsplash!! 1….2….. LAST MINTUTE KICK OUT!!

{{JR}}
What will it take to keep Big E down!!!

Christian holds his head in his hands in disbelief before stumbling towards the corner, readying the spear!!! The crowd begins to chant “SPEAR, SPEAR, SPEAR!!!” Just then a man runs out from the crowd and up onto the turnbuckle right next to Christian!

{{JR}}
Is that.. Is that Edge??!

It is! Edge can be seen saying something to Christian, who turns towards his best friend in confusion. The two begin what looks to be a heated argument as Big E slowly gets back to his feet. Heyman, The Ryback, and Goldberg can be seen entering through the curtain as Christian finally gets fed up with whatever it was Edge was saying and delivers an elbow, forcing his best friend to fall to the floor! Christian turns around only to be hit with a E-Train, also known as a Running Body Block!!!! He goes for the pin…1……2….3….!!!!



Edge angrily gets back to his feet and jumps back onto the apron, looking for revenge for the elbow. But Big E stands in front of Christian, blocking the path. Heyman reaches Edge and convinces him to let it go, because Heyman Guys never fight for free. Edge hops down from the apron and stands next to Heyman, glaring at Big E.

{{JR}}
It looks like Big E really never does back down from a fight!! Even one that’s not his!!

Heyman gives off a devilish grin as he turns towards Edge, we can hear him say “You know what Edge? You want Christian? Fine. [i]True Heyman Guys don’t fight for free. Ryback, go take care of Big E!! Now!!” The Ryback does a double take before reluctantly climbing up onto the turnbuckle. He slowly enters the ring, staring at Big E the whole time. The two get face to face as the crowd buzzes in anticipation. The Ryback then steps back and holds his arms out, saying something to Big E.

{{JR}}
What’s this?

Big E looks confused for a second as the two exchange words. Heyman can be seen shouting at The Ryback from the outside. Big E then runs the ropes and takes out The Ryback with a E-Train!!

{{King}}
What the.. The Ryback didn’t even fight back!! He let him do that!!

{{JR}}
Well, look why!

On the outside Heyman can be seen having a fit, causing the crowd to go wild!!

{{JR}}
The Ryback knew that if he took out Big E then Goldberg and Edge would just destroy Christian! He did that just to get at Heyman!! Ha! If he’s not allowed to place a finger on any of the other Heyman Guys, it looks like this is his only way of retaliating!!

Big E stands tall over The Ryback as Christian finally gets to his feet and stands next to Big E, daring Edge and Goldberg to enter the ring. Heyman shouts at the men in the ring as he holds his clients back. The Heyman Crew slowly make their way back up the ramp as we go to a commercial break.

The arena grows electric as the fan's World Heavyweight Champion makes his way to the stage.





With World Title on his shoulder and all he stands at the top of the ramp with a mic already in hand. He surveys the arena a bit and grins before speaking.




{Alberto Del Rio}
Last week, Dean Ambrose made it loud and clear what his intentions are, and boy am I glad that he did. After months of trying to get a real fight out of Miz I felt I was going a bit soft, but now I know I have a monster to fight, a psycho to take on and I haven't been so excited. I love a fight and Dean, you're gonna give me the one I've been looking for since Kane. I will kick your culo all across this arena and would expect the same from you. But let it be known that I meant it when I said YOU are the prey and I'm gunning for you.




{Alberto Del Rio}
Tonight will just be a taste of what you have in store for you at Uprising, and I will win this triple threat to send a message not just to you but to all of XWL that I'm not some pushover, not some weak champion. I am going to be champion for as long as I am alive and breathing, Ambrose you and anyone else will have to pry this belt from cold, dad hands because I am THE man and I won't surrender that claim easily. There is a long list of men who have tried taking me out and Dean is just another name to a list, and don't think I don't realize Ted needs to be on the list either because briefcase or not, I WILL beat you when the time comes.




{Alberto Del Rio}
My pay per view match, my pay per view debut was at Final Stand and I hope that the biggest win of my career takes place there in a couple months because there would be nothing better than to retain this belt, on that big of a stage. Even though I've won this belt and reached the pinnacle I'm still setting goals for myself to achieve and that, that right there is the next one on my list, that is, of course, after I defeat Dean at Uprising. Now, I have to prepare for my match tonight, so good luck Seth and Dean.....watch out.


Alberto keeps the mic in his hand, and steps backwards until he slips behind the curtain to end the segment.
