XWL Breakdown: 1/31/14 - 2/7/14

-Don West-
Don West here from XWLshop.com and boy do I have something special in store for all of you folks tonight. I’m sure you all know about my little… issue with Paul Heyman and his lackeys. For months now they’ve been working night and day to try and come up with a way to bring down The West Side Army, but time and time again they’ve failed and that just goes to show you that we’re a lot tougher than we look…and we looked plenty tough to start with! Well lately ladies and gentleman, lately Paul Heyman has taken things too far. He has refused to come to grips with his groups’ inferiority and now he’s hell-bent on not only stealing Ryback away from us, not to help advance his career or anything but to use him as fodder and as a punching bag, and he’s not only doing that, but that bastard is also trying to get his client, Brock Lesnar, to rip the mask off the face of my good friend Sangriento.



-Don West-
Do you know how desperate you have to feel, how pathetic you have to be, how low you have to sink when you’ve come to the point where the only course of direction you feel you can take is to try to bring upon a Mexican luchador the greatest shame imaginable? It’s disrespectful to even think about taking the mask off anther wrestler, and along comes Heyman and Lesnar, men who already have proven they don’t have a heart, much less a soul, who will try to reveal the face of my client with glee. They realize now that Xtreme Xmas was a fluke, they realize that Brock Lesnar is no match for Sangriento, and so now they’re taking a different approach because the stories of Mexican Luchadors who have come back from having their true identities are few and far between. Sangriento’s mask represents his ancestry, the honor of lineage, the long line of great wrestlers who have worn it before him and have deemed him worthy enough to carry on the Sangriento family name.



-Don West-
For Brock Lesnar to take that mask from Sangriento would be spitting on all of that and then some, but putting that mask on the line is risk that had to be taken if it means putting those two in their places once and for all. Not only that, but Sangriento doesn’t have any fear, any reservations about getting into the ring with Brock Lesnar, for the third time, while others would cut their losses after the first encounter. There’s no question that Brock Lesnar is a physical specimen, an athletic freak, a man his size shouldn’t be able to do the things he does, yet that doesn’t give him the advantage over Sangriento. There’s a reason why people argue that Batman could kick Superman’s backside and that reason is simple: being stronger than everyone else can only get you so far until it stops being an advantage and starts being your Achilles heel! Lesnar has been relying on his power for so long that he doesn’t know anything else; the man’s a one-trick pony!



-Don West-
Meanwhile, Sangriento has never been the biggest man in a fight. He knows how to deal with thugs like Lesnar, he knows how to think quickly on his feet, he never stays with the same game-plan and is always ready to call an audible to keep his opponents guessing. Just when you think he’s going for the right hook, BAM, he headbutts you and next thing you know you’re on your back and the match is over. There’s no wasted movement with Sangriento, each and every move has a purpose, which is a scary thought because he moves ten times faster than everyone else to begin with! So for those of you who keep asking me, “Don, aren’t you worried you may have bitten off more than you can chew with this whole Brock thing?” And I’m like, “Are you kidding me? Brock Lesnar doesn’t know what Ultimate X has in store for him. That big buffoon is gonna get CREAMED!”



-Don West-
Ultimate X was designed with guys like Sangriento in mind, guys who aren’t bound by gravity or the laws of physics like you and I are. Now don’t get me wrong, Ultimate X is a dangerous match for any man, it only takes one bad fall to cause a serious injury that could put a wrestler on the shelf for months or even end their careers! Every time you climb onto one of those intersecting ropes trying to grab the X hanging from the middle, you’re putting your life in jeopardy, but this is the lengths we have to go to just to get Ryback where he belongs. Brock Lesnar is big, but this is a match where his size will work against him, because the bigger they are, the harder they fall, baby. Heyman likes to on and on about all the great things Brock Lesnar has been able to accomplish, but have you noticed where he always stops short? Have you noticed the company he always fails to mention? That’s right, XWL, a place where Lesnar hasn’t done diddly-squat and that will continue to be the case if he keeps picking fights with superstars the caliber of Sangriento.



-Don West-
A man who CM Punk couldn’t help but name-drop last week, because even the so-called best in the world knows there are men in this company who will give him a run for his money as far as that moniker is concerned. Punk knows just as much as Heyman does that the galaxy, forget the sky, is the limit for Sangriento and there will come a time where he will be standing tall at the top of the mountain. Uprising is just another obstacle on the path to greatness and immortality, and this is where your support comes in, people. I need your help to show Paul Heyman just how insignificant he is in the eyes of the XWL universe by watching the Ultimate X match through the eyes of Sangriento. Can you see where I’m taking this? I want the thousands of people who will be in attendance that Sunday night to be in Sangriento’s corner, cheering him on just like I will be as he secures the victory and here’s how you can do that: by going online, right now and ordering one of these bad-boys.



-Don West-
Don’t adjust your TV sets or computer monitors, I know this looks too good to be true, but I promise your eyes are not deceiving you. What I hold in my hands is in fact a hand-painted Sangriento mask, molded from the face of the man himself! Let me tell you something folks, when they brought me the first draft of these masks, the prototype if you will, those things looked so cheap that I.. I can’t even put words to it. I can’t even describe how disrespected I felt that they could even consider having one of those abominations be associated with my client. It was the kind of thing you’d get with a Halloween costume, or those Cody Rhodes’ replica masks they had a few years back, you know, made from this flimsy plastic and fragile string that snapped if you put too much force on it, which meant that all the poor saps with big heads were out of luck. But to give the people credit they realized their mistake and came back with this thing of beauty that I could just look at for hours on end and not get sick of it! This thing is made from the finest materials and when you put this beauty on…



-Don West-
…I can guarantee you that it ain’t coming off any time soon. Imagine if a bunch of you people ordered these and wore them during the match, it would be mind-blowing. Together we’d stand with Sangriento, wearing these masks to support him and when he wins at Uprising you can proudly say that you were one of the people that stood with him from the beginning and stuck with him even when the future wasn’t looking so brightly. Not only that, but think about how angry Paul Heyman will get and how distracted Brock Lesnar will be seeing all the Sangriento’s in the audience, knowing that you all bought a ticket to see them lose. The boos weren’t enough to get the point across that you are sick and tired of seeing them and fed up with them not being good enough to back up the talk of how great they are. When you buy one of these masks, for yourselves, a friends, a loved one, whoever… when you buy one of these for one special night you can all be part of The West Side Army as we march toward another victory. Of course, Uprising is just one night, what do you do with the mask afterwards?



-Don West-
You bring it home, find a special spot in your house, maybe move an old wedding photo if you have to, and hang this up in its place until the end of time. Then you can always look back and reminisce about the incredible time you had watching Sangriento do what he does best. Whenever you have a house guest over they’ll see this and go, “This looks AMAZING, where can I possibly get one of these to bring some life to my own house?” That’s when you break it to them and let them know that these masks were only available for a limited time, but that’s it’s never too late to become a fan of one of the hottest acts in the world and there’s no doubt that they’ll be the first in line whenever these go back in sale. Now I’ve been selling all kinds of merchandise long enough to know that money talks. Some of you have already ordered a mask and are still here because you love the sound of my voice, the rest of you may need a little convincing and so it’s time to make the grand reveal. Elsewhere masks like these could go for hundreds, hell, even thousands of dollars and while this mask is made from the highest quality materials, we’re not here to make anyone poor. Go ahead and throw the price on the screen.



-Don West-
Twenty Nine. Ninety Nine. That price is insane! I may buy one for myself! This is a mask that is so sturdy that it will last you a lifetime and you’re getting it at a bargain price, folks it doesn’t get any better than that. Just think about how much this will be worth down the line when they’re still a hot commodity and everybody’s just dying to get their hands on one because they missed out the first time; people are going to be willing to pay three times that amount! Being the man that I am, I’m going to take this a step further, I’m going to sweeten the deal a little bit and make it even THAT much harder to refuse. As you all know Paul Heyman is going to get into that ring with Ryback, in what is personally going to be my match of the night and here’s what I’m going to do: I’ll have my own personal cameraman out there taking photos of every bruise, cut and injury that Heyman receives and then I’ll have Ryback autograph each and every one of those pictures to send to your home along with the masks.



-Don West-
You know, I find it funny that Paul Heyman likes to talk about how big and tough Brock Lesnar is yet, coincidentally the first time the “beast” shows his face on an episode of Breakdown just so happens to be the very same episode that no member of The West Side Army is scheduled to appear. Don’t think for one second that it’s not obvious what’s going on here, and if you really think that things are going to end well for Lesnar tonight, much less at Uprising, then you’re in for a BIG surprise. Stephanie McMahon has finally come to her senses that you’re nothing but a selfish prick that’s been poisoning this company and while she has been doing a fine job of keeping you in check Sangriento and I, we’re the ones who are going to put the final nail in your coffins. JTG can deal with Edge, Ryback WILL tear Goldberg to shreds, and Kane can keep battling his inner demons, but you and Lesnar are our problem to deal with and we’re going to teach you the hard way that when you mess with West you go down with the rest.

The XWL live feed cuts, static rolls through the screens around the World and the horrible sound of white noise screeches through the speakers. The momentary annoyance is quickly ended by the sound of a voice.

[????]
Randy, Randy, Randy...

The static disappears and Roman Reigns can be seen once again from an undisclosed location with held camera.



[Roman Reigns]
The Viper, The Legend Killer, The Apex Predator, The stupid and the naïve. I understand your grief, a young up and comer, the future of this business has made his presence known in this company and has made everybody in the back take note that this is now my hunting ground. Every time you have stood face to face with me, every time you have sucked up all the courage in your body to confront me I have left you on the floor just wishing, just praying that I will put you out of your misery and make the pain stop. I hate to tell you this son but the pain has just begun. See you might think in the back of your mind that you have got what you wanted, a match with yours truly but you need to understand that it is no holds barred, it is anything goes and the pain that you have felt over the past two weeks doesn't even scratch the surface of what I intend to do to you come Uprising.



[Roman Reigns]
Just like everybody else who has found themselves in the unfortunate circumstances to stand across the ring from me, this does not end well for you, I will leave you a broken and battered shell of your former self and this is something that you will never be able to recover from, physically and mentally. The things that you will have to suffer and endure at Uprising is something that no man should ever have to go through and I know that you're intending to put me through the exact same pain and misery but the difference is that I will fight through the pain and the suffering and without a seconds notice I will take you out, just like that. Reigns snaps his fingers It's trial by fire boy and I will walk through the flames, I will endure the burning, I will suffer through the smell of burnt flesh and I will appear on the other side without a mark, without a scar, without a burn and I will prove that this is my hunting ground, that the ring is my yard and for the whole World to take note that Roman Reigns is a man to be feared.



[Roman Reigns]
I'm not using you as a stepping stone, I don't intend to do the things to you to perhaps propel myself to greater and better things. No, no. You can have the sickening thought in knowing that I am doing this simply because I enjoy it. I don't want to leapfrog my way to the top, I want to take out everybody in my path slowly and methodically, one by one they will all fall until only I am left standing. Ambrose may think he is the success story from what was The Shield but take a look at what I have done in my brief time back, I have taken everybody out, the apparent future of the business lay at my feet, I have been pitted against two of the best in the past few weeks and still I stand tall. So he can play with Alberto, he can pretend he has finally made it to the top of the mountain, he has finally climbed to the peak but he along with everybody else should know that I have no intention to climb that mountain, I intend to bring it crashing down around me.



[Roman Reigns]
That however has to wait until Uprising. Tonight, the victim of the week is none other than Curtis Axel. You've got a couple of notches on your belt, congratulations but now you find yourself in the situation that everyone tries to avoid. Tonight you have the displeasure of meeting me inside the squared circle, inside my colosseum and only one of us leaves. You may come from a wrestling family, but you're not the only one with heritage son. Where I come from they are wild, they are dangerous and they are cut throat and that moulded me into the man that you see before you today. No hesitation, no second thought, just a killer instinct with the only thought of taking out whoever and whatever finds itself on my path. “Better Than Perfect”. Cute. Know this, if your old man was still here today, I would make him watch as I tear his dear son limb from limb and then for good measure I would put him down. Randy. Stay tuned boy.

The camera feed dies out and heads into a hype package for The Straight Edge Superstar CM Punk

*The crowd is silent waiting for the next segment when all of a sudden..*



[Michael Cole] WHAT?!

[Jerry Lawler] It can't be!!

[Jim Ross] Bah gawd it's The Rock!! He hasn't been seen in god only knows how long!!

*The fans pop huge at The Rock's theme song awaiting the arrival of The People's Champion when all of a sudden..*



*Brad Maddox jogs onto the stage and down the ramp waving at fans as the big pop turns to furious booing. He tries to high five fans but they all refuse, Rock's theme song still plays as he picks up a microphone and enters the ring.*



*He hands Justin Roberts his coat and tells him to get out of the ring leaving the spotlight on himself. The Rock's theme song finally stops as the fans continue to boo even louder as Maddox tries to talk over them.*



[Brad Maddox] Helloooo everybody and welcome back to BreakDown!

*Once again Brad is just met with plenty of booing from the angry crowd expecting to see The Rock.*



[Brad Maddox] Settle down guys.. come on! If anything you should be booing XWL management, boo Stephanie McMahon, not me! See, since I'm not officially an XWL superstar.. yet.. I don't have a theme song so obviously I just had to choose one for myself and seeing as I'm the only one who can match up to the charisma of The Rock I thought it'd be fitting. Dwayne and I are tight, there's no need to be mad. But have no fear, once Uprising is done and the dust is settled and I ink my fabulous XWL contract I'll get my own theme song and I promise you all it'll be the greatest theme song in XWL history. Just like my victory at Uprising is going to go down in history, the final chapter of my ultimate struggle to get an XWL contract where the courageous handsome underdog slays the monster that is Mark Henry and everyone lives happily ever after.



[Brad Maddox] You see, last week I talked to various XWL superstars trying to find the perfect way to defeat Mark Henry. For example, I had a nice sit down talk with my close and personal friends D-Generation X, my main man Hunter H gave me some inspiring words to motivate me for the match of a lifetime! Hmm, who else did I talk too.. Oh! Antonio Cesaro gave me some great tips for my match in five different languages... I speak six by the way. I tried to ask Dean Ambrose for advice but he didn't look like he was in the best mood and I'm pretty sure he had a knife on him so I didn't want to anger him. I also tried to get some advice from Roman Reigns who has been on a warpath as of late but he just cracked his knuckles and tried to superman punch me. But as a whole throughout the week I gathered crucial information and studied tape after tape, I know Mark Henry's moveset down to a tee and trust me, his weaknesses will be exposed.



[Brad Maddox] Now I'm not a man to stand out here and slander another man for no reason. Mark Henry can't help the fact that he's going to lose to me at Uprising, I have found a great video that I'm sure Mark Henry is going to love as a sign of respect. Mark has made a great impact in this business and while he may be winding down after I beat him at Uprising he deserves recognition, so boys in the back, please play the tape that I gave in earlier..

*A video begins to play on screen but it turns out to be a home video clip of Brad Maddox recording himself working out.*



*He yells "Four.. Hundred!" as he finishes the rep and drops it to the ground throwing his arms in the air in triumph with a yell.*

[Brad Maddox] NO! NO! TURN IT OFF! THE OTHER ONE!!

*The video abruptly ends as another one plays now.*



*The embarrassing video highlighting Mark Henry's run as sexual chocolate plays as Maddox continues to watch in the ring.*



*But what he doesn't notice is Mark Henry arriving through the crowd! He is seen in his street clothes obviously caught off guard and not happy about the video, he climbs over the barrier and gets into the ring behind Brad. The crowd's reaction gets louder as Mark turns Brad around right into a huge World's Strongest Slam! The fans cheer Mark on finally getting his hands on Brad as he looks down at him*



*Mark gets up to his feet and takes off his jacket and loosens up his tie taking it off too, he soaks in the fans reaction and rips open his shirt looking down at Brad again.*



[Mark Henry] You think you're getting into MY company boy?! I'm the gatekeeper and I ain't letting you in!

*The fans start to chant "One more time!" over and over as Mark obliges, he picks Maddox up by the hair and then drops him down with a second World's Strongest Slam.*



[Mark Henry] I'll see YOU at Uprising!





*Mark leaves the ring as Maddox is left a broken mess in the ring, he is shown crawling to the ropes to help himself up as he has a look of fear in his eyes heading into the biggest night of his life next week. We fade away to a video package.*

The crowd pops as The Ryback enters through the stage with a huge grin.

{{King}}
Yes! The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here! Paul Heyman is going to have to go one on one against The Ryback!! In a No DQ Match

{{JR}}
And the best part about it is that Goldberg, Edge, Kane, and Brock Lesnar are all banned from ringside!! If any of them are to get involved then The Ryback will be free from his obligations towards Paul Heyman as his client!!

The Ryback lifts his right arm, then his left, then his right again, and his left, before raising both arms in the air and bringing them down as his ring pyro shoots up and he shouts “WAKE UP!!”

{{Michael Cole}}
Free? To do what? Join back with the West Side Army? Please. Paul Heyman was the best thing that could happen to The Ryback’s career, he should have taken advantage instead of waste it like the West Side Army did with all of their Intercontinental Title Shots!

{{JR}}
Well I’m sure that The Ryback doesn’t feel that way Cole. He was used by Paul to do his dirty work, blackmailed even!

{{Michael Cole}}
Blackmailed? Really? And how?

The Ryback makes his way down the ramp, high fiving fans as he goes.

{{JR}}
How? Paul threatened to have his clients attack Sangriento if The Ryback didn’t do as he said! And The Ryback wasn’t even allowed to fight back otherwise he would be suspended!! That is until last week when Stephanie McMahon finally took notice and did the right thing!

{{Michael Cole}}
The right thing? Are you serious JR!?! Banning the Heyman Crew from ringside tonight? Forcing Brock Lesnar to compete? And on top of that forcing Brock to take a strep test in the middle of this ring later tonight? That’s what you call the right thing?

The Ryback enters the ring in his usual fashion, shouting “FEED ME MORE” along with the pumped up crowd.

{{JR}}
Paul Heyman was having medical staff members lie and say that his clients were unfit to compete just to get out of matches! So yes, I do call that the right thing!



The crowd lets out a huge boo as Paul Heyman slowly makes his way out to the stage, not looking too pleased.

{{JR}}
You see that look! That’s the look of a man who knows that there’s no escaping his punishment!!

{{King}}
That’s right JR! Paul Heyman is all out of cards!! Even CM Punk is banned from ringside thanks to Stephanie last week!! This is going to be one great match!

Heyman slowly makes his way down the ramp, angrily shouting at the nearby fans for cheering on the match to come.

{{Michael Cole}}
Great? What’s great about watching a bully take on a defenseless man?

{{King}}
Well simply because Paul Heyman deserves everything that’s coming to him tonight!

Heyman climbs up the steps and stops for a moment before begrudgingly making his way into the ring.

{{JR}}
He sure does!

{{Michael Cole}}
You two disgust me…

Heyman begins to plead with The Ryback, dropping to his knees and begging for The Big Guy to reconsider.

{{JR}}
This is just pathetic!! Paul never showed any mercy towards The Ryback! He should just take his beating like a man!!

{{Michael Cole}}
Well Paul can run outside of that ring as long as he wants! This match is set for no disqualification or count out thanks to The Ryback!!

The Ryback laughs at Heyman and shakes his head. The crowd cheers as The Big Guy lifts Paul back up to his feet by his head and throws him across the ring as the ref signals for the bell to ring and the match to begin!!!

{{King}}
And we’re under way here folks!! Paul Heyman wasn’t able to wiggle out of this match!

The Ryback goes into the corner and winds up his arm as the crowd chants “FEED ME MORE!!!” Heyman slowly gets to his feet and turns towards The Ryback, but before The Human Wrecking Ball can strike, his prey quickly rolls out of the ring!

{{King}}
It looks like the chase is on!

The Ryback exits the ring and chases after Heyman!! The two circle the ring once before Heyman slides into the ring then out the other side!

{{King}}
I’ve never seen Paul Heyman run so fast!!

{{JR}}
Well he is running for his life!!

Heyman continues to run around the ring as The Ryback continues to chase him… Right into a chair shot!!!!

{{JR}}
Bah Gawd King!!

{{King}}
Is that?!??

{{JR}}
IT IS!! It’s Prince Devitt!! He came right out from the crowd and took The Ryback down with a chair!!

The crowd lets out a huge boo as Devitt swings the chair down again and again, hitting The floored Ryback in the back as Heyman directs traffic!

{{King}}
What is he doing! Why is Prince Devitt doing this?!?

Devitt throws the chair in the ring and with Heyman’s help is able to pick up The Ryback and roll him onto the mat. Both Heyman and Devitt enter behind The Ryback as the crowd continues to boo.

{{King}}
Does this mean that Prince Devitt is the newest Heyman Guy? Or does he just have a bone to chew with The Ryback?

{{Michael Cole}}
Who cares! This is great! The Ryback is getting exactly what he deserves!!

Devitt picks The Ryback up in the middle of the ring as Heyman grabs the chair!! The crowd boos as Devitt holds The Ryback, letting Heyman strike him with the steel object!! Heyman then goes for the pin…1…..2…..3….!!!

{{Michael Cole}}
Heyman did it!! Paul Heyman has pinned The Ryback!!



Paul Heyman demands that the ref hold his hand high in the air as the crowd boos. Heyman then grabs Devitt’s arm and holds it in the air as well, pointing at the possible future United States Champion.

{{Michael Cole}}
What was that you said about Paul Heyman being out of cards JR? Ha! Paul Heyman always has an ace up his sleeve!!

Paul and Devitt begin to exit the ring but the mastermind behind The Heyman Crew suddenly stops and puts his arm on the shoulder of his, what looks to be newest client. He tells Devitt to pick the chair back up and looks back towards The Ryback as the crowd boos.

{{King}}
This doesn’t look good…



The crowd lets out a huge cheer as Big E Langston comes storming out from the back!!

{{King}}
Look who it is!! It’s The Ryback’s tag team partner tonight, Big E!!

{{JR}}
Last week Big E refused to join The Heyman Crew, choosing to instead to go back to back with The Ryback and fight them head on!! It looks like tonight might be round two!!

Big E charges into the ring, taking down Devitt with a huge E-Train which sends the chair flying to the outside!!!! He then looks at Paul who is slowly backing up into the corner. Big E grabs Heyman and lifts him onto his shoulders, hitting the Big Ending as the crowd goes wild!!! Big E kicks Heyman and Devitt out of the ring and shouts as the crowd are on their feet chanting his name. He then turns to his new ally and slowly begins to help the battered Ryback back to his feet

{{JR}}
I doubt that Heyman planned for that to happen!!

{{King}}
Well here comes the cavalry!

Goldberg, Edge, and Kane all rush out to the ring!!!

{{King}}
Here we go!!

Edge is the first to reach the ring and pays for it, getting floored immediately by a Meathook Clothesline!!!

{{JR}}
It looks like The Ryback still has a little fight left!!

Goldberg is next to enter, taking the fight right to Big E as Kane does the same with The Ryback!! The Big Red Monster is able to easily overpower The fatigued Ryback, flooring him with a huge uppercut! Kane cocks his head to the side and looks down at The Ryback with a crazed look, he then tightens his glove, much like he did last week when he suffocated Big E with his giant hand! Goldberg and Big E are still exchanging punches, back and forth until Goldberg is able to connect with a stunning right hook, before backing up, and charging, looking to hit the spear!! But Big E is able to move out of the way just in time, sending Goldberg right into Kane!!!

{{King}}
Goldberg just accidently speared Kane!! It looks like The Big Red Monster is down and out!!

Goldberg looks down with a look of remorse at Kane, who rolled out of the ring from the impact of the spear. Goldberg luckily looks up in time in order to duck a clothesline from Big E! The two behemoths begin to trade off punches again as The Ryback gets back to his feet! Big E runs the ropes and hits Goldberg with a shoulder block, but it’s not enough to take the big man off his feet!! The Ryback runs the ropes next and also connects with a shoulder block, but once again Goldberg refuses to go down!! The Ryback wastes no time, and connects with a right hook!! Then Big E connects with a left!!! The Ryback and Big E look at one another and nod as the crowd cheers them on, they both run the ropes and are able to floor Goldberg with a double shoulder block to the crowd’s delight!!!

{{King}}
What a move!!

Goldberg rolls out of the ring from the impact but The Ryback and Big E aren’t luck enough to catch a breather as both Devitt and Edge enter the ring! Edge lashes out with an elbow to The Ryback as Devitt connects with an array of kicks and punches to Big E!!

{{JR}}
It looks like the numbers game might have caught up to Big E and The Ryback!!

The Ryback and Big E both get backed up into opposite corners!! Edge delivers a huge corner shoulder block to The Ryback as Devitt connects with a few well placed corner elbows to Big E!! The crowds boos quickly turn to cheers though as the two big men simultaneously grab their respective Heyman Crew member and use their superior strength to turn them around into the corner!!

{{King}}
What a reversal!!

Big E and The Ryback dish out a couple corner shoulder blocks before Irish Whipping both men towards each other, but the high flying Devitt is able to leap frog right over Edge and enziguri Big E!! Edge isn’t so lucky however, running right into a big boot from The Ryback!!! Devitt charges at The Ryback and connects with an elbow!! The Big Guy shakes it off and strikes back with one of his own!! Devitt staggers backwards before answering back with another elbow!! The Ryback cracks his neck and swings, connecting with a right hook!! The Big Guy follows the punch with two more before kicking Devitt in the gut and lifting him high onto his shoulders, looking to hit The Shell Shocked!!!

{{King}}
Yes!! This is it!!

The Ryback parades around the ring with Devitt on his shoulders, turning right around into a spear from Goldberg!!!

{{JR}}
Oh no! That spear almost broke him in half!!

{{King}}
It looks like Big E and The Ryback aren’t enough to take on the Heyman Crew!!



The crowd goes absolutely nuts as Stone Cold Steve Austin burst out through the curtain, making his way swiftly to the ring!!

{{King}}
It’s Stone Cold!!! Stone Cold Steve Austin is taking on The Heyman Crew!!! First Sangriento and Christian helped The Ryback and Big E out last week! Now Stone Cold!! It looks like The Heyman Crew’s knack at making enemies is catching up to them!!

Devitt begins to throw a few more kicks to make sure that Big E and The Ryback are down as Goldberg helps Edge to his feet before turning their attention to the oncoming Stone Cold!!

{{JR}}
Here we go!!

Stone Cold enters the ring and immediately takes down Edge with a clothesline!! He then floors Devitt with a huge right hook!! He finally turns to Goldberg but is hit with a swift uppercut!! Goldberg follows the punch with a few more, backing Stone Cold up against the ropes!! The beast then backs up and charges, looking to clothesline Stone Cold over the ropes but The Rattlesnake is able to duck and send Goldberg sprawling out of the ring!!!

{{King}}
There goes Goldberg!!

Stone Cold turns around to a charging Edge, but is able to side step, throwing him over the ropes right on top of Goldberg as the crowd goes wild!! The Rattlesnake then turns his attention to Devitt, who is slowly getting back to his feet! Stone Cold gives his rival the finger before hitting a Stone Cold Stunner!! The crowd goes wild as Stone Cold kicks Devitt out of the ring, right at the feet of Paul Heyman, who is getting his crew to regroup.

{{King}}
What an ass whoopin’ dealt out by The Texas Rattlesnake!!

Stone Cold dares Goldberg and Edge, both of whom are back on their feet, into the ring. Goldberg takes a step towards Stone Cold but is held back by Edge as Big E and The Ryback both get to their feet and stand tall next to The Rattlesnake. Kane is on his feet now and Heyman instructs him to pick up Devitt. The Heyman Crew begins to make their way up the ramp to lick their wounds. The crowd cheers as Stone Cold, Big, E, and The Ryback look on at The Heyman Crew as they near the stage.



{{JR}}
Oh boy..

Brock Lesnar makes his way out through the curtain, passing right by The Heyman Crew and stopping at the foot of the stage. He begins to bounce from foot to foot, glaring at Stone Cold Steve Austin.

This should be good..

The crowd goes wild as Stone Cold dares Lesnar into the ring. The former UFC Champion simply grins and turns around, going back the way he came.

{{JR}}
Well, I wonder what that was about..

The Heyman Crew shouts out towards the ring before following Brock Lesnar to the back.



The crowd goes wild as Stone Cold asks for a few beers from the ring crew. He hands two to Big E and tosses another two to The Ryback. He then points towards the turnbuckles, before climbing one himself as Big E and The Ryback follow suit. The crowd goes wild as Stone Cold opens his two beers and smashes them together before performing a beer bath!! Big E and The Ryback do the same, soaking up both the beer and the cheers! Once they thoroughly drained the last of the beer Stone Cold and the two behemoths jump down as the crowd continues to cheer. Stone Cold requests few more beers, passing one to The Ryback and one to Big E. The three smash their cans together in the middle of the ring and…

{{JR}}
BAH GAWD!!! Stone Cold just hit the Stunner on The Ryback!!!

The crowd lets out a huge cheer for The Stone Cold Stunner, regardless of the fact that it was at the expense of The Ryback!! Stone Cold then turns to Big E and kicks him in the gut, setting up for the Stunner, but the behemoth is able to reverse it, shoving the Rattlesnake off of him!! Big E quickly rolls out of the ring and away from harm’s way!

{{JR}}
You never know with Stone Cold!! One second he’s helping you and the next you’re face down from a Stone Cold Stunner!!

Big E glares at Stone Cold as he is tossed a few more beers and begins to smash them together and drink. The Rattlesnake throws one out towards Big E, but the behemoth just knocks it away, pointing towards The Ryback.

{{JR}}
It looks like Big E doesn’t want beer anymore, just his tag team partner for tonight!!

{{King}}
Well it’s safe to say that The Ryback won’t be at one hundred percent tonight! First those chair shots, then that spear, and now a Stone Cold Stunner!! He’ll be lucky if he even remembers that he has a match later tonight!!

Stone Cold kicks The Ryback out of the ring and continues his beer bath. Big E tends to The Ryback on the outside of the ring as Stone Cold stands tall in the middle of the ring as we go to a commercial break.

We’re whisked away to a spot backstage where Don West is seen standing next to XWL Interviewer Josh Mathews.

-Josh Mathews-
Welcome back to Breakdown, ladies and gentlemen! This is Josh Mathews reporting live from the backstage area and I am here with none other than the official promoter of The West Side Army: Don West.



-Don West-
Thanks for having me, Josh. I must say, my throat is a little sore from the show I put on earlier in the night, so I appreciate someone else helping out with the talking.

-Josh Mathews-
Well Don, I know you’re a man who values your time so I’ll cut right to the chase. You covered the respective situation with Ryback and Sangriento earlier, but after last week, what is the update on Dean Ambrose as far as him being a member of The West Side Army is concerned?

-Don West-
Let’s get one thing straight, Josh. This group may be named after me, but it isn’t just mine, okay? Without the hard-work and sacrifice of the fine men and women who have proudly called themselves a member of The West Side Army over the past seven months, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. As far as Dean being a member of the group going forward, we all saw what happened last week when I approached him, like a man, and put it all out there on the table.

-Josh Mathews-
You made it seem like you disapproved of his actions when he instigated a few brawls with Alberto Del Rio a few weeks back and even got away with giving him a verbal lashing regarding his past in XWL that most men wouldn’t have been that lucky.



-Don West-
Listen, we’re in the age of the internet, and if people want to get a replay of exactly what I said to Dean, I’m sure it’s floating around on Youtube with well over one million views by now. I’ll tell you this much: Dean is a grown man capable of making his own decisions. I won’t force him out and I can’t make him stay, so what he does from here on out is up to him.

As West finishes up that sentence, Sara Del Rey walks onto the screen and stands on the opposite side of Mathews.

-Sara Del Rey-
So this is where you went off to.

-Don West-
Mr. Mathews here wanted to ask me a few questions about one of my clients, but I’m sure now that you’re here we can make you the client we’re talking about. Isn’t that right, Josh?

-Josh Mathews-
Of… of course.



-Don West-
Well out with it then! What are you waiting for?

-Josh Mathews-
Last week, Sara, despite the wishes of you and your manager, Stephanie McMahon made a match between yourself and former Diva’s champion AJ Lee…

-Don West-
Did you have to throw in that she was Diva’s champion? I mean her reign was so pitiful that this would be a better place if we could all just forget that it even happened! What are you trying to do exactly, Josh? Imply that my client is inferior to AJ because she hasn’t been champion herself yet?

-Josh Mathews-
No, not at all! I’m sorry, I’ll rephrase. Sara, how do you feel about Stephanie making that match at Uprising?

-Sara Del Rey-
I don’t like it one bit. Here’s the deal: it looks like people have misunderstood what my intentions were when I interrupted AJ’s little verbal tirade a few weeks ago.



-Don West-
You would expect the woman who was once champion carry herself in a dignified manner. Am I right or am I wrong, Josh?

-Josh Mathews-
I guess you’re right.

-Sara Del Rey-
And all I wanted to do was see live and in color with my own two eyes just how AJ was carrying herself, and I think it’s clear for anyone to see that she’s a complete mess right now. She’s a waste of everyone’s time, which is why I walked away.

-Don West-
Things should have ended right then and there, but no, AJ loved the idea that there was someone out there that would give her the time of day so much that she wouldn’t leave us alone!

-Sara Del Rey-
She kept pestering us and bothering us like the little brat that she is but I didn’t come here to deal with some emotionally fragile little kids. No, I came here to fight, Josh. I came here to hurt people, I came here because I refused to let my past runs in this company be the legacy that I leave behind and getting mixed up with AJ would be taking two steps back.



-Don West-
Stephanie may have tried to save face by acting like she was punishing me for giving Sangriento the night off, but I think we all know that she did it just to shut AJ up once and for all, and my ear drums thank her for it.

-Josh Mathews-
You both seem confident that Sara is leagues above AJ as far as talent goes, so why would you have reservations about the match with AJ?

-Sara Del Rey-
It’s really a no-brainer, Josh, look at what happened when I got into the ring with Nikki Bella and Eve Torres: sometimes losers get lucky.

-Don West-
But it’s not even that, someone like AJ who’s in the middle of self-destructing just doesn’t deserve to be in the same ring wrestling someone as well-traveled and experienced as Sara Del Rey. Sara deserves to go up against the best, and AJ is not the best. Once upon a time you could make the case for her, but those days are long gone. Her star is quickly fading along with her relevance because she has already shown us her 100% and simply has nothing left to offer this company other than her looks, while Sara keeps improving each and every day making her the closest thing you’ll ever get to a perfect wrestler, male or female.

-Sara Del Rey-
Few women are good enough to get into the ring with me and survive to tell the tale, but AJ is right there at the bottom of the list of people who are worthy to be in the presence of the Queen of Wrestling.



-Don West-
Do you think Sara was given that name because it sounds cool or because she got lucky in some tournament? She earned that title by busting her butt and working that much harder than any other woman in this business until the talent gap between her and everyone became too big to ignore, leaving people with no choice but to acknowledge just how much better than everyone else this woman right here is.

-Josh Mathews-
Well speaking of that triple threat you participated in when you returned, you haven’t wrestled in a match since then. Is there a specific reason for that?

-Don West-
That match was before I came and took Sara under my wing and made her realize that only one thing matters: wrestling at Final Stand. Back when I showed Kharma the light, back when I made her see that there was still a way for her to leave a mark on this company that could never be erased, it was weeks before The Monster Bash. Oh boy, when that night came she went on to cream  SIX divas throughout that show, a feat that has never and will never be matched. Believe me when I say that there’s a method to my madness; the gears in my head are always turning…I always have a plan!

-Sara Del Rey-
Anyone can say that they showed up on some random Breakdown or Pay Per View, but exactly how many women can honestly say that they made an appearance on the grandest stage of them all, and that they were the reason people bought tickets or ordered the show?



-Don West-
That list is pretty small, but Sara intends to add her name to it and nothing else matters until then.  Not Uprising, not AJ… nothing! Weren’t you paying attention during that triple threat match to the way Sara was ganged up on by Nikki and Eve? Don’t listen to the foolishness Trish Stratus is telling you about Madison Eagles; Sara Del Rey is the most dangerous woman in this company, Sara Del Rey is the woman with the brightest future, Sara Del Rey is the woman with the bullseye on her back and I can’t risk anything happening to her.

-Josh Mathews-
Well if she’s as amazing as you say she is, Don, don’t you think she’d be able to take care of herself?

-Sara Del Rey-
I could take on and take out any woman on the roster in a one on one fight? But the entire roster at once? Maybe I’ll take a half dozen or so down with me, but that’s not a battle anyone could win.

-Don West-
That’s a battle she risks getting in the middle of if she competes on a weekly basis. Remember Corey Graves? Remember how he was tearing through everyone they had him wrestle until there was no one left in his way but the Intercontinental Champion himself? What happened just before the big title match? Alberto Del Rio and Roman Reigns “coincidently” decided that on back to back weeks they were going to take things a little too far and Corey hasn’t been seen since. Corey was more than capable of taking care of himself, but sometimes the odds are too much to overcome and I will not put another client in a position where they’ll have to face those odds.

-Josh Mathews-
So will you actually compete at Uprising, Sara?

-Sara Del Rey-
Now that the match has been made official I’m not going to walk away from the fight. That’s not how I’m wired and that’s not how I operate. So I will be there prepared to show the world that this time around I’m here to stay.



-Don West-
And her ignoring AJ’s pleas doesn’t count as ducking a challenge because we never considered her a challenge to begin with!

-Sara Del Rey-
AJ thinks she can hang in the ring with me, and I’m going to make her see that she’s dead wrong. I’ll admit that she kinda looks like she knows what she’s doing in the ring, I mean surely you have to at least be a little competent to be champion as many times as she has. But the thing is, I’m not scared of her and I’m not intimidated or worried that she’ll embarrass me. Believe it or not, I was actually doing her a favor by ignoring her pleas for a match because I didn’t want to kick her while she was down. But at Uprising, I’m going to keep kicking and kicking and kicking, and you know something, Josh? I don’t really care if she gets back up. She played with fire and after Uprising her family is going to be scattering her ashes in the wind.

-Don West-
This is what AJ wanted: a chance to redeem herself, a chance to prove that she’s not crazy, but she must really be insane if she truly feels that beating Sara Del Rey is as easy as it must be in that demented little brain of hers. I can’t stress enough how amazing Sara is, and now that I’ve had some to think about it, that match may not be such a bad thing after all because now Sara can put the other women in this division on notice. After she makes quick work of AJ, we’ll start making our plans for Final Stand because Sara will be there and with or without the Diva’s championship she will be the star who puts on a performance that will put the other women to shame.

With that said, West and Del Rey walk off screen and Breakdown cuts to commercial.

As Breakdown continues the cameras cut to a pre-recorded sit down interview with Madison Eagles, whose sat down in a training facility, looking into the camera as she starts talking



Madison Eagles: Last week Trish Stratus kindly took the time to sit down and tell the entire world just why out of every Diva in the locker room why she picked me to be her partner. Why she picks me to be the one stood with her side by side as we strive to make this division better. As we take the Diva's division to brand new heights. So I guess now it's my turn to tell the world exactly what it means to me for Trish to have singled me out to be that person, and why I accepted her offer. When really the answer couldn't be simpler. I've been in this business for thirteen years now and in that time I've travelled the world, Australia, Japan, Mexico, Europe, Canada, America, you name it and I've been there and I've defeated the best they had to offer, and through all of that time when I was itching a name for myself there was one woman who stood above them all as quite possibly the best name in woman's wrestling history. A woman who broke record after record after record and that person is Trish Stratus.



Madison Eagles: So how could I even consider turning down that offer? When someone like Trish gives you a chance like this, you take it, I don't care who you are when the opportunity knocks, you make sure you answer the door and that's exactly what I've done. Even though I've already won my first championship without her, just imagine what I can do with Trish's wealth of knowledge. She's had a fifteen year career and won more championships than anybody else and succeeded everywhere she's gone, with her at my side who's to say what I will do? How many more titles I'll be able to win? Just try to think of what Trish and I can do as a team for this division and as soon as Trish is fully healed that's what's going to happen. We're taking over like nobodies taken over before, what this is, is the the two most dominant woman in wrestling today on the same page with one common goal and that means nobody won't be able to stop us.



Madison Eagles: And of course next week at Uprising will be a perfect example of that with Trish lining up a very special opponent for me to face and god knows I like a challenge and knowing Trish she wouldn't of settled for anything less than that and when she assures me that my opponent is a former Diva's champion and it is Trish? Let's just say I'm excited to see who Trish has hand picked for me to face next week. Seriously whoever is stepping in the ring with me next week better make sure they're prepared because if they're not they're going to be in for the longest night of their career, and it's only going to be over when I say it's over. The rest of the Diva's locker room better be watching carefully and taking notes because there's a new dominant duo in town and we're going to take over like nobody has taken over before us. All either of us have ever needed is one half of a chance and we will take it further than anyone has before us. Call me a bitch, call me arrogant but there's a reason I can do things nobody else can and get away with them, I'm Madison Eagles and I'm the best thing going today.

As Madison finishes speaking she stares down the lens of the camera for a few seconds until the shot slowly fades out to end the segment

[Cole]: What the...?

The crowd jump to their feet as the familiar theme plays through the speakers, they may not care much for Bobby Roode but Beer Money Inc. has always had a special place in their hearts. They eagerly await the arrival of Roode and Storm, chants begin to make their way through the crowd until they finally someone walks out on stage. The cheers only get louder as the XWL fans realise that it's no member of Beer Money but instead CM Punk standing on the stage sporting a Beer Money shirt. Punk raises his arms high in the air to the approval of the fans and goes to head down the ramp but stops as though he forgot something. He points to the stage curtain and as he does Paul Heyman bursts through it uncontrollably on the Boozer Cruiser! Punk manages to stop Heyman from flying off of the stage and centres him. Heyman, with a beer in hand stands up and acknowledges the fans with the beer, he is also sporting a Beer Money top but has a wig and a trucker hat placed nicely on top of his head. He leans his head back and begins pouring the beer into his mouth but immediately starts to choke and coughs up what little beer managed to find it's way down his throat. Punk, who now has his face buried into his hand points to the ring, informing Heyman of where they need to go. Heyman readies himself, he sits himself back on top of the Boozer Cruiser and he slowly edges himself closer and closer to the edge of the ramp. Carefully he edges himself closer and closer but Punk has no time for patience and slightly shoves the back with his foot. Not a moment later Heyman is flying uncontrollably down the stage ramp with Punk immediately chasing after him. Heyman manages to save himself from crashing into the ring apron but in doing so instead crashes into the ring steps. He falls, the cruiser falls and half the beer bottles fall out making a nice treat for the fans at ringside who managed to grab a few.

Punk grabs Heyman and lifts him up to his feet, he dusts him down and tells him to get inside the ring whilst handing him the remaining bottles of beer. Punk then tries to salvage what he can of the Boozer Cruiser but it is totaled, dents everywhere, a wheel missing and the cooler has cracked open. Punk kicks what little remains of it before climbing inside the ring with Paul Heyman, who may have had one too many at this point because as soon as Punk steps foot in the ring he is handed a beer. A look of confusion shows itself, he does not know what to do in this situation but luckily for him Heyman is at hand to give him advise as he starts screaming “Drink it!!” in his face. Punk shakes his head but Paul refuses to take that for an answer and continues to scream “Drink it!” in his face, backing him into a corner and Punk finally agrees just to get him away. Feeling successful Heyman waddles away from Punk and climbs onto the second rope to celebrate and while he does Punk is pouring out the beer onto ringside behind his back. Heyman climbs down and stares at Punk who rubs his belly and gives him a thumbs up. Heyman turns back around and as he does Punk flips the bottle in his hand, raises it and starts walking towards Paul and as he swings the bottle Heyman turns around so Punk throws the bottle of Heyman's head and quickly walks away scratching the back of his head like nothing happened. He drags Heyman into the centre of the ring, they both jump and crouch down. The crowd know what is coming and Punk jumps up...

BEER!!

Heyman Jumps up...

MONEY!!!

The hat and wig that was once on Heyman's head flew off during the chant leaving him bald once again. Heyman finds the wig on the canvas and repositions it on his bald noggin before finding his hat and returning it back to his head. Punk walks over to the ropes and grabs two microphones, he hands one to Heyman and raises the other to his mouth but is cut short as the capacity crowd start chanting “CM Punk! CM Punk! But feeling they're not chanting loud enough Punk begins waving his arms to try and get more volume out of the crowd and he succeeds as the volume increases dramitcally. The excitement calms down and Punk raises the microphone to his mouth.

[[Punk]]:: This is all that Bobby Roode is known for. This shirt. That chant. This partner. At the end of the day this is all anybody remember when it comes to Bobby Roode because let's face it, this is all that he has managed to accomplish during his time here. Nothing more than another failed tag team in another failed tag team division and yet he still has the courage to show his face and run his mouth like he is King. I will give credit where credit is due, when he did come here for the first time people were watching and they were watching very closely because for some reason people thought that he could very well be the next big thing in this company, this could be the guy to carry the torch for a new generation but that idea dies down just as quickly as it was suggested because Bobby decided not to show up, Bobby decided that he would rather do his own thing than potentially become World Champion and now he walks around acting holier than thou. We've seen what the New Generation has to offer, I have taken on many of these members of the so called New Generation and each and every one of them has felt my knee on their face, down for the three count and yours truly declared the winner.

[[Punk]]:: The New Generation means nothing to me, neither does the Old Generation, the Current Generation or even De-Generation X. When all is said and done these are just labels for people to hide behind when I beat them into the canvas and make them look nothing more than a rookie because if I went out there and I beat Hogan they would say he's part of the Old Generation, he is past it and he shouldn't be in the ring anymore and while I would agree with that they would make it seem like I achieved nothing and make my victory over the “Immortal” Hulk Hogan seem like nothing. Then if I were to beat Xavier Woods, you hear people ramble on and on about how he is just a part of the New Generation, he has the potential to go far but maybe he doesn't have the experience and again they would make my victory against an up and coming seem like nothing. Then if I were to... Who am I kidding, I've already beaten everybody of the current generation. Young or old, future or past it doesn't matter because when you step inside the ring with me the only fact that remains the same is that you are standing across the ring from the Best in the World!

[[Punk]]:: And now...

[Heyman]: Nascar!

Punk stares at Heyman with a look of confusion on his face

[[Punk]]:: ….. What?

[Heyman]: I said Nascar dammit!

[[Punk]]:: I got that. What I don't get is why?

[Heyman]: You sassin' me boy?

[[Punk]]:: I don't even.... What?

[Heyman]: Good. Now make yourself useful boy and get me some gumbo. Mmmhmm.

Punk leans over to Heyman

[[Punk]]:: Paul, he's not that southern...

[Heyman]: Go on! Get! Before I take my belt to ya!

[[Punk]]:: Ok. This is just borderline racist now.

[Heyman]: Not yet, it's not.

[[Punk]]:: How so?

[Heyman]: Because I haven't mentioned my sexy wife yet.

Punk looks curious, debating whether or not to take the bait

[[Punk]]:: You have a wife?

[Heyman]: I sure do boy. What do you think I'm one of dem fairy types? No lord. Ever since I was a young boy I had the biggest crush on her, she was always around and I just couldn't get past her sheer beauty. One day, I managed to suck up all the courage that I had in my body and at the annual hoe-down/hoot-nanny I asked her hand in marriage and then she was mine forever through sickness and health.

[[Punk]]:: That's nice. Almost sweet.

[Heyman]: Mother doesn't approve though.

[[Punk]]::Why's that?

[Heyman]: She's mah sister.

[[Punk]]:: Jesus Christ

Punk buries his face in his hand as Heyman makes the situation slightly racist. Unaware to him though, Heyman is preparing himself, he takes a few steps back from Punk, a slight shuffle forward and hits the Superki... Heyman pulls his groin and quickly crumbles to the floor holding his crotch. Punk looks up and sees that Heyman has disappeared, he looks around the ring before looking down to see Heyman lying there in great agony. Confused by this Punk asks Heyman what happened, but fearing he may have gotten a little too into the charade Heyman refuses to shed some light onto the situation. Punk raises the microphone to his mouth but as he goes to speak Heyman lets out a little yelp in pain. Punk again tries to speak but once again is interrupted by Heyman's cries of agony. Noticing something, Punk walks over to Heyman and kicks the microphone away which happened to land next to his mouth. Punk shakes his head and returns to where he left off.

[[Punk]]:: You see Bobby can come out here and run his mouth because I certainly won't complain about it, at the end of the day when he opens his mouth and he makes his claims all he is being is a poor mans CM Punk. Now that's not my ego that is saying this but look at the facts, look what you have seen earlier on today, Bobby Roode stood in this ring, he run down his opponents, he condemned a high flying wrestler due to his stunts, he claimed to be The Best in the World, now who do we know that has done all of this? Me. Yours truly. Every time I stand in this ring I drop a pipebomb on whoever happens to cross me, I may not claim to be the Best but I certainly prove it night in and night out and who has it that stood on top of that titantron and gave the World a lecture about the high flying antics of Jeff Hardy? Me! Bobby may think he's being revolutionary but I made it and I perfected it and I have people who try to take me down so they can place their hat on that moniker but what they fail to realise that it's no moniker, it's the fact, it's not a nickname it's nothing more than reality.

[[Punk]]:: There are people who try to be “The Best in the World at everything he does” but at the end of the day nobody knows what he does. He's in and out of this company more times than I can count, he's either at the bottom of the pack or undeservedly shoved in the spotlight for no damn reason and I have had that man get in my face and try and prove he is better than me and that didn't end well for him. Another “Canadian” wrestler as Bobby so tends to pride himself in, perhaps the greatest wrestler to ever come out of Canada, he could certainly make a claim for that fact and I put him down. Just like I have put everybody to sleep that has stepped in my path, that has got in the way of me getting to where I know that I belong. One by one down they all fell and CM Punk returned to the mountain top, now I understand that I haven't been at the peak for quite some time, I have been pre-occupied with people like Dwayne, Vince McMahon, The Funk Man and then I took some time to heal but now I am back I have been better than ever. I jumped back in exactly where I left off and my path back to the top is in motion and Bobby can be the guy to claim that he is going to knock me off that path but let's face it, better men have tried and better men have failed.

[[Punk]]:: You think because you have won a single match that makes you the Best? A match that was against Mr. Anderson of all people? Wrong. I have been the Best since day one, see you are a product of the companies that you have worked for, they have all been in your favour and pushed you to the mood and hand fed you everything that you have ever received in your career. I say received because you can be damn sure that you didn't earn a single bit of it but who else besides me can say they made it to where they are today, in the hardest company to make it in with the bosses boot on your face to prevent any sign of progress and still make it to the mountain top? None. Not a damn one! All my friends got fired, all of the great talent got knocked down the card because they weren't jacked enough and they decided to waste what they seen in front of them but I made it so they can ignore me no longer, I made it so they had no other option than to give me what I had earned, what I deserved because I have worked my ass off for the past decade in spite of those people and I stand before you now the Best in the World! I have been the best since day one because there is not a person in this company or on this Earth that can hold a candle to me.

[[Punk]]::You can say I have an ego, that may be true but my ego has stemmed from everything that I have achieved, earned and deserved throughout my career. While you are nothing more than an egomaniac who has made the rookie error of buying into his own hype, believing that he is better than he actually is and you can beat all the lower card people you want, you you can have your own little meaningless winning streak if you want but come Uprising you will realise the mistake you have made, come Uprising you will realise that you have bitten off more than you can chew because nothing you can do will hurt me, nothing that you will try will make the slightest bit of difference because this is my ring, this is where I reign supreme and I have littered the ringside with the bodies of the fools who have made the exact same mistake as you and the pile is overflowing and that is the only peak you will see, that is the only mountain top that you will reach. So come Uprising, bring your best, bring all the little tricks that you think will make the slightest difference but when that bell rings you will quickly realise that your arms are just too short to box with God!

Punk removes the Beer Money top and stares directly down the camera

[[Punk]]:: So continue singing your praises, sit back and feel good about your win over a nobody but I want you to watch very closely because tonight it's my turn to play the Game! One of the best to ever grace this industry, perhaps but he has made it to the top by stepping on everybody that he has ever come across. So Bobby, keep watch as I show hunter than the game is played, the game is dated and that the Cerebral Assassin cannot topple CM Punk, that the King of Kings will look nothing more than the Royal Jester when he steps in the ring with the Best in the World! Then when I am through with Hunter, I shall throw him on top of that pile but with a message because he is only keeping the top warm for you Bobby because come Uprising it's your turn, come Uprising you get the honour of keeping Hunter company on the pile. After you see what happens tonight you will quickly learn that I am not blowing myself out of proportion, you will see what everybody else see's and you will learn just exactly what Triple H will have the unfortunate job of learning tonight and that is that My name is CM Punk! And I am and will forever be The Best in the World!!



Punk drops the microphone. He grabs a handful of Heyman's shirt and drags him to his feet as Heyman lets out little cries of pain as he does. Punk puts Heyman's arm around him and helps him over to the ropes, Heyman climbs out and Punk lunges over to the turnbuckle, climbs up and throws his arms in the air which is met by huge approval from the capacity crowd. Heyman drops down onto ringside and as soon as he does slips into the splits due to the beer that was poured out by Punk. Heyman again cries out due to the severe ball pain he is now suffering, while Punk just stares at him with an almost look of disgust on his face. He climbs out of the ring and again drags Heyman to his feet and helps him up the ramp. Punk guides Heyman behind the stage curtain, Punk walks back out and stares directly into the camera and starts tapping his wrist to signal the time. Could be a notion to either Triple H or Bobby Roode but either way he's leeting the World know that it's clobberin' time!

Normal Match

---

Reigns wins via the Spear.

After the match

Reigns looks down in disgust at Breeze, he gets to his feet and spits onto his victim. He looks around him and walks over to the corner, where under the turnbuckle lays Tyler Breeze's stupid fur coat. Reigns climbs onto the turnbuckle and raises his arms high in the air, proudly displaying his somewhat ugly trophy. He climbs down and turns into the centre of the ring. RKO!! From out of nowhere Orton appears and takes the big man down with a devastating RKO! Orton slithers backwards out of the ring, exiting as quickly as he arrived. He looks into the ring at his downed enemy and just can't wait until next week where he takes on Reigns in an Extreme Rules match.

XWL returns to tonight's edition of Breakdown, and immediately we're taken backstage where a totally not blonde diva is shown getting her hair done as she reads a magazine featuring the recently returned Trish Stratus on the cover.



The unknown woman is quickly identified as she starts to speak, and a somewhat British accent is detected. But what helps us pinpoint exactly who it is, is the fact that The Divas Championship is sat on a title beside her.

[Layla]
You know, I just think it is so great what Trish has done with Madison Eagles. I mean, she's without a doubt a HUGE asset to the divas division, but she's lacked the whole likeability factor.

Lowering the magazine, Layla grabs a few strands of her hair, liking the work Janet is doing.

[Layla]
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she's got to conform to the typical "good girl" image, but no one likes to hear someone talk about how much better they are than you all the time. I'd know that from experience, trust me.

[Janet]
Considering I used to do your hair back in the "Listen to me I'm so great" phase, I completely know where you're coming from.

[Layla]
Exactly, I may have been untouchable when it came to pretty much a lot of things....but that doesn't mean anything if nobody wants to see or hear you. Trish is hands down one of the best ever, so Madison is in good hands. If anyone can put her on the right path it's the woman that made it possible for all of us to be seen as something other than pretty faces attached to sexy bodies.

[???]
From what I've seen, Lita barely ever shows her face around here anymore.

The camera pans to the left to show XWL's "Foxy One", Alicia Fox heading towards Layla and Janet.



[Alicia Fox]
Look, Lay'...like, I come in here, hearing you say that Madison doesn't have to be a "goody-goody", I get that. But...it wasn't all that long ago that you were the one turning over a new leaf and trying to be the overly-goody-goody girl, right? Or was that someone else? You were ruthless, fearless. You didn't care what anyone thought, you were the Queen Bitch and you loved it! You stepped inside Hell In A Cell with Mickie James, and came out on top. But now? You're afraid that you'll hurt people's feelings, and you want to be everyone's buddy, and that's nice and all, really. But the thing is...while you've got that Divas title around your waist, you wanna know what you really are? The only thing you are to the other girls is a target, and that includes your "best buddies", Paige and Kaitlyn.



[Layla]
Well hello to you too Miss Foxy. That's kind of why I said it, personally...I'm still a little hesitant I guess you could say at saying some things...it's just it took forever to get people to actually see it as something other than an evil diabolical act. So maybe I've turned up the charm just a bit much, and maybe I've been a little too friendly to everyone....but I just did so much wrong back then, that I've had a lot of making up to do. That's why it's good that Madison has Trish, because I didn't have someone putting me on the right track, I just sort of fell onto one.



[Layla]
I kind of like being a target, I like the attention, it's flattering really. I have something everyone wants, including you. But as history shows, it's not exactly something that's so easily taken from me.

Alicia's eyebrows raised slightly, a soft laugh emitting from her lips as she responded.



[Alicia Fox]
That's the problem, Layla! You feel like you had to make everything right, had to apologize to every Diva and their mom for being such a bi-atch. Why go through the trouble? Paige has been a thorn in my booty for over a year now, heck she still is! Do you seriously think Michelle really accepted your apology after you beat her down and humiliated her, and tried to break her in front of the world? She may act like you two are all good, but "hun", "y'all" still a target to her.



[Alicia Fox]
Speaking of that...Paige? Kaity Kaboom? They may be your friends now...but after Uprising, either one of your "pals" will be more than happy to feed you to the wolves to get their hands on that title. Shame, really. Next week at Uprising, you have to be the referee for a match between your two "besties". Shouldn't you wonder what will happen when that match is over, hm?

Silently sitting there, Layla has the thought pop up that's been running through her mind since the match was first announced. She too has been wondering that very same thing, what will happen when the match is over, and she's unintentionally chosen one friend over the other.



[Layla]
The thing is, that's all I've done...Worry about what might happen, when in reality, maybe you're all wrong. Maybe I know my friends better than everyone else, crazy right? But that's not what sells in this industry is it? Drama, suspense, speculation, that's what people want. They want to assume the worst, when in reality, the result won't even come close to the their deluded expectations. You want me to speak my mind? Not try to choose my words carefully, then here it is. People should stop trying to act like they know everything, oh Kaitlyn was a little pissed off last week, she's going to turn on Layla if she loses to Paige at Uprising, because of Kaitlyn's outburst Layla will now fast count Paige so she doesn't upset Kaitlyn any further. It's all ridiculous, and it's all lies. I'm going to do exactly what I've said I'd do from the very start, call it as it is.




[Layla]
Nothing else, not pick one side over the other just because one of them got insecure for one solitary moment. Kaitlyn had a moment that we've all had before last week, she did what everyone has wanted from the start, put too much thought into one slip up. She's knows that I would never screw her, if I've forgiven her for turning away the only friend she had after Supremacy, and leading everyone to believe that I was the one behind her suspension...then clearly I'm not going to screw her now when I literally have nothing to gain in doing so. I've beaten Kaitlyn, I beat Kaitlyn to become number one contender in the first place. I've beaten Paige, we've all beaten each other, you've beaten them, I've beaten you, it's the circle of life. So if I can be a little real with you? And lay some REAL Talk out there? You and everyone else, just need to mind your own damn business and get a new topic to drag into the ground.

Caught off guard by Layla's "Real Talk" Alicia stands there with her jaw to the floor. She didn't expect one remark to set her off more than she has been in quite some time, but that's exactly what she did.

[Layla]
Now then...


Forming a bright smile, having vented, Layla's eyes light up.





[Layla]
Where did you get those shoes girl, because I want a pair just like them for my Birthday.

Still somewhat in a state of disbelief, Alicia just stands there after Layla winks at her in a friendly manner. Unamused, a very fake smile appears on Alicia's face before she steps closer to Layla.



[Alicia Fox]
There you go again....continuing to be the fake goody-goody. Since you want everyone to pretend that you're the nice girl...let me give you a dose of reality.

Alicia's head tilts with a smile before suddenly sending her right hand flying towards Layla, slapping the Divas Champion out of the make-up chair she was sitting in and onto the floor. Alicia's smile stays as she speaks again.



[Alicia Fox]
I hope that woke you up, Layla...because if it didn't....I'll be glad to wake you up again when I take that championship from you. Now that's....REAL TALK! Ta-ta!

With a soft smirk, Fox turns on her heel, walking out of camera shot, leaving Layla sitting on the floor holding the side of her face.

[Layla]
Tells me to speak my mind, be fearless, not to care about what anyone thinks, and THEN she slaps me in the face...no wonder Paige doesn't like her.

Left on the floor, flabbergasted by the fact she just got slapped out of her seat, Layla shakes her head and sighs as we head to a commercial break.

The cameras cut backstage to see Breakdown General Manager standing in her office, when AJ Lee skips into the office. AJ doesn't  have the divas title so shut up, she stands and smiles at Stephanie and is about to speak when Stephanie cuts her off


[Stephanie McMahon]
What do you think you are doing? You knock before entering my office. So do you want to try again?


[AJ Lee]
Steph..Steph..Steph...Is it cool if I call you Steph?....Anyway Steph, I came here to thank you. You did what is right last week when you gave Sara Del Rey the privilege of facing me at Uprising. So I just wanted to come here and thank you for giving me what I wanted.

[Stephanie McMahon]
Actually AJ, I didn't make that match because you wanted it, I made it because it's whats best for business. You two have been at each others throats for weeks, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I'm tired of listening to you run your mouth about how you're the best. So I wanted to give you a chance to prove it.


[AJ Lee]
You want me to prove it? What do I have to prove? I've already shown I am the greatest divas champion of all time. I've held that championship 3 times, that's more than Layla, More than Kaitlyn. Only one Diva has held that championship more than I have, and nobody even cares about Michelle McCool..which by default makes me a record holding Divas Champion. I have nothing left to prove...

[Stephanie McMahon]
Actually, one thing you have yet to prove is that you can be Layla when it really matters... She's beat you for the title..twice now is it?


[AJ Lee]
You're a mean Boss Lady...but anyway, I don't care about Layla, I don't care about how many times she thinks she's beaten me. She's just keeping my championship warm for when I decide to take it to back. But right now, Sara Del Rey is my enemy. I will beat Sara Del Rey and ofcourse when I do, You'll be announcing me to be in the Money In The Bank match at Final Stand right?

[Stephanie McMahon]
Getting into the Money in The Bank match is a privilege that you earn, you've yet to prove to me that you deserve that chance. Since taking over Breakdown as General Manager, I've been about giving people fair opportunities, and despite your attitude.. If you show me that you deserve to be in the Money in The Bank match..then and only then will I even consider you.



[AJ Lee]
You don't think I deserve it? Are you kidding me?!

AJ is clearly beginning to become infuriated by Steph

[AJ Lee]
I don't care what you think! I deserve that championship that champion should be mine! If it wasn't for you, I'd be standing here as the divas champion right now! I deserve it more than anybody on this roster!

Stephanie takes a step closer towards AJ and gets face to face


[Stephanie McMahon]
Don't you ever talk to me like that again...Now get out of my office!

AJ just stands and stares into the eyes of Stephanie before taking a step back and slowly exiting the office, not once taking her eyes off Stephanie. The camera pans back to a wound up Steph as Breakdown fades off to commercial

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Todd Grisham standing by



[Todd Grisham]
Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time..None other than the heartbreak kid...Shawn Michaels!



[Todd Grisham]
Shawn, you will step into the ring with Chris Jericho at Uprising, he has spent the past few weeks promising to end your career and end D-Generation X. Is there any part of you that is perhaps worried about that?



[Shawn Michaels]
Toddy Todd Todd...'Ol HBShizzle doesn't get worried. Chris Jericho can make all the promises he wants, but at Uprising I will be the one standing with my hand raised, I will take pleasure in kicking his teeth down his throat once and for all. Me and Jericho have our history, He's beat me.. I've beat him but at Uprising it will be settled once and for all. He can threaten to end my career all he wants... Hunter did that a few months back and look at us now! I'm pretty sure me and Jericho aren't going to become best friends after it but Hunter is one of the toughest in the history of this business and he couldn't keep me down. Chris Jericho has made a career of cheating his way to victories but at Uprising I will have Triple H watching on in my corner.



[Shawn Michaels]
Jericho isn't the only thing I will be watching closely at Uprising, Ofcourse there's the Number One Contender match for the intercontinental championship. There's Eric Young or the Big White Sheamus. Personally, I don't have a preference on the winner, but whichever of them comes out victorious should be aware that they'll go to final stand to face The Showstopper, The Main Event...and most importantly Mr.Final Stand. I thrive on being on the biggest show there is, I didn't give myself those nicknames, Todd.I'll look forward to seeing who becomes the Number One contender for my title, but whoever it is will just be another name that has fallen to The Heatbreak Kid on the grandest stage of them all.



[Shawn Michaels]
Chris Jericho, I hope you're ready. You're going face to face with the old Shawn Michaels, ever since I returned to this business I've made it my goal to once again reach the top and I'm already half way there. Me and Hunter have been rising to the top together, Whilst you've fallen from the top. Ever since me and Hunter reformed D-Generation X, We've become two of the most consistent superstars in this company. We may have been in this business for many years, but that doesn't change the fact that I am still The Showstopper, Hunter is the still The Game. And if pinning you in the middle of that ring is what it takes to prove that to you, Chris. Then that is exactly what I'll do, and ofcourse If you are not down with that...Then I've got two words for ya!

HBK smiles and pats Todd on the shoulder as the crowd can be heard shouting "Suck it!". Breakdown fades to a video package hyping The West Side Army.

Justin barely beat R-Truth, via Michinoku Driver. GG! Never did put resiliency on R-Truth though. Glad I survived as long as I did.
