XWL Breakdown: Valentine's Day Special 2/14/2014 - 2/21/2014

The crowd lets out a boo as Chris Sabin’s theme begins to play.

{{JR}}
Welcome back ladies and gentleman!! It looks like Chris Sabin is all set to take on Edge tonight!!

Sabin walks out onto the stage with a smug look on his face, ignoring the crowd’s boos.

{{King}}
Chris Sabin is out here to prove himself tonight after his match with Daniel Bryan

{{Cole}}
Some are saying that splitting up with Alex Shelley was the worst move of Sabin’s career. They’re wondering if he has what it takes to make it without Alex watching his back!

{{King}}
Well Chris’s opponent tonight sure has his back covered. Nowadays when you see Edge, you’re most likely going to see him with Goldberg and Prince Devitt. The Master Manipulator is at home in the Heyman Crew. He has the numbers advantage, not to mention Goldberg, to allow him to be the bully that he’s always been at heart.



The crowd gives off an equally loud boo as Edge makes his way out to the stage, taunting as his pyro goes off.

{{Cole}}
The Heyman Crew claimed Uprising as theirs. Attacking the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, preventing John Cena to compete, taking out The Ryback, Big E Langston, and Matt Hardy. And that’s just between Edge, Goldberg, and Prince Devitt! Brock Lesnar unmasked Sangriento, which led to the firing of that lying cheating good for nothing Amazing Red!! And Kane was able to put The Ryback through a table and almost choke out Big E Langston!!

{{King}}
The Heyman Crew sure are impressive, but as we saw earlier tonight, they’ve been making a lot of enemies, and it might be catching up to them.

{{JR}}
That’s right! Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena were able to unite to take down The Heyman Crew earlier tonight.

{{King}}
Well unless Alex Shelley decides to make an appearance, I can’t think of anyone who will be willing to do the same with Chris Sabin!!

The two circle one another as the ref signals for the match to start!!

{{JR}}
And this one is under way!!

Edge offers his hand out for a handshake. Sabin looks at him with a confused look as the crowd begins to boo.

{{JR}}
What does this mean?

{{King}}
Is Edge offering Sabin a spot on The Heyman Crew??!?

Sabin takes a step towards Edge, still looking confused, but The Rated R Superstar quickly lunges out, connecting with a gut kick!! He then irish whips Sabin into the turnbuckle and charges, connecting with the steel post as Sabin dodges out of the way!! Edge stumbles backwards, right into a high right kick from Sabin!! Chris goes for the pin..1… Kick out!

{{King}}
It looks like this one is going to be very evenly matched!

Sabin pulls Edge to his feet by his hair only to receive an eye rake from The Master Manipulator!! Sabin staggers backwards, holding his eyes as Edge laughs. Chris shakes it off and glares at Edge, who is smirking now. Sabin charges, missing with a clothesline!! He turns around and grabs Edge and rakes his eyes back!! Edge staggers backwards in pain. The Rated R Superstar angrily charges, raking the eyes of Sabin!! Chris answers back with an eye rake of his own!! Edge fakes an eye rake but instead connects with a gut kick!! Both men lock up, before eye raking each other!! The two competitors stagger back, holding their eyes in pain as the ref finally gets in between them. The ref begins to shout at Sabin, then at Edge, then back at Sabin. Edge and Chris both look at each other for a moment before Sabin eye rakes the ref!! The ref stumbles backwards right into Edge, who throws him out of the ring!!!

{{King}}
What the!! Did that just happen!!!

Sabin laughs, and turns right into a heel kick from Edge!! The Rated R Superstar quickly exits the ring, grabs a chair then reenters. He stalks Sabin, waiting for him to get to his feet! Chris gets to his feet and immediately jumps into the air with tremendous speed, hitting his unaware opponent with a dropkick!! Sabin’s feet connect with the chair from the dropkick, which connects with Edge!! Sabin picks the chair up and wedges it into one of the corners!! He then picks Edge up and irish whips him, but Edgre is able to reverse it into a neckbreaker!! Edge quickly crawls to one of the turnbuckles and unties the padding before turning around and going for the pin on Sabin as the ref slowly gets back into the ring…1... Kick out!!

{{King}}
There’s a padding missing ref!!

{{JR}}
It looks like he’s too distracted by the chair!!

The ref angrily points at the chair, then his eyes, shouting at Edge. The Rated R Superstar is still trying to calm the ref down as Sabin gets to his feet!! Sabin rolls Edge up…1…..2… The ref stops the count, pointing to Sabin’s hand, which is pulling on Edge’s tights!! Sabin and the ref argue for a moment before Edge rolls Sabin up into a pin!!! 1…..2… Once again the ref stops the count, this time because Edge’s feet are on the ropes!! The ref argues with Edge now as Sabin slowly gets to his feet. Chris joins in with the arguing. The crowd boos as the two superstars continue to argue with the ref. Edge pushes in front of Sabin and begins to shout at the poor referee, then Sabin pushes in front of his opponent and lets the ref has a piece of his mind. The two continue to push in front of one another until Edge finally backs up and lets Sabin and the ref argue amongst themselves. The ref is furious now and finally has had enough, and slaps Sabin to the crowd’s delight!!

{{King}}
Good for him!!

Sabin stumbles backwards right into a charging Edge!! But Chris is able to side step the spear!! Sending Edge crashing into the steel chair which was wedged in the corner!! Sabin looks like he is about to go for the pin, but instead a devious smile crosses his face. He goes to the corner and begins to pull his hair back, mocking Edge. The Rated R- Superstar slowly gets to his feet as Sabin charges!! Edge is able to side step Sabin this time, and Chris gets sent right into the unprotected turnbuckle!! He stumbles right into a spear!!.....1……2……3!!

The crowd lets out a loud boo as Edge’s theme signals his victory. The ref reluctantly raises Edge’s hand as The Rated R Superstar celebrates the win.

{{King}}
This doesn’t look good!!



The crowd continues to boo as Goldberg and Devitt make their way down the ring while Edge circles Sabin!!

{{King}}
Oh boy..

Goldberg and Devitt enter the ring, just as..



Matt Hardy comes charging out alongside The Ryback and Big E Langston!!

{{King}}
You see! First Stone Cold and John Cena! Now this! The Heyman Crew are going to regret making so many enemies!!

The six superstars clash in the middle of the ring!! Big E and The Ryback work together to floor Goldberg as Devitt and Edge use their numbers advantage against Hardy!! Edge and Devitt turn around, satisfied with their beating on Matt Hardy who is rolling out of the ring in pain, but they turn around right into a double clothesline from Big E!! Devitt and Edge quickly get to their feet and are able to double dropkick Big E out of the ring!! They high five, but their celebration quickly comes to a close as Devitt is floored with a Meathook!! The Ryback lifts Edge high up on his shoulders as the crowd goes wild!! He marches around the ring… right into a Spear from Goldberg!!!

{{King}}
What a spear!!

Goldberg exits the ring as Hardy and Big E enter. Edge holds Goldberg back as Devitt shakes off the cobwebs. The Heyman Crew make their way up the ramp, satisfied and unwilling to fight for free any more than they have to. Back in the ring Big E and Hardy are tending to The Ryback. Just then Chris Sabin jumps them, chair in hand!!

{{King}}
That’s no way to say thank you!!

Sabin smacks Big E with the chair, but the monster simply turns around angrily. Sabin hesitates then hits Matt Hardy with the chair, who also takes the blow like a champ, shouting “I WILL NOT DIE!” The Ryback slowly gets back to his feet, and also falls victim to a chair shot to the back! But just like the other two, The Ryback shakes off the blow and glares at Chris. The crowd cheers as Sabin backs up, dropping the chair, before quickly exiting the ring!! Matt Hardy jumps onto the turnbuckle and soaks up the crowd’s cheers as Big E and The Ryback hold their massive arms high in the air before we go to a commercial break.

Breakdown returns to ringside just as pyro shoots across the stage and the theme of Chris Jericho hits across the arena. The crowd show their instant hate for Jericho as the entire audience boo Chris Jericho




Jericho walks out from behind the curtain with a smirk across his face, clearly having a sense of accomplishment after his actions at Uprising. Jericho walks down the ramp and enters the ring. The crowd have yet to give up on showing their hate for Jericho, even though Jericho doesn't pay any attention to them. Jericho demands a microphone and just stands in center of the ring, waiting for the fans to finally quieten down


[Chris Jericho]
Parasites of all ages, you are all here for a very special edition of the Highlight Reel. It is the memorial of D-Generation X... Incase you all missed it, at Uprising DX came to an end. Shawn Michaels was carried out of this arena, he was beaten and bloodied..all thanks to me. His best friend watched on as Michaels' career came to a crashing end. I told Triple H, I told Shawn Michaels..that  Uprising would be last time that DX are together, and I kept my promise. I've always been a man of my word and Uprising was no different. Shawn may think he's gone out on top since he was the Intercontinental Champion but Shawn, I hate to be the one to break this to you...That championship means nothing. Nobody really cared about that championship, just like nobody cared about you or D-Generation X. They've already forgotten about you Shawn, they don't care that you'll never step foot inside this ring again.


[Chris Jericho]
Now Hunter, I know you're sat beside Shawn's hospital bed watching Breakdown right now.... I hope what happened to that man laying in the bed next you is a message. Do you want that to be you Hunter? Do you want your 3 children to grow up without a father they can look up to? How do you think little Aurora would feel seeing her daddy carried from this ring? See Hunter, it's in your best interests to stay away, for the sake of your family. It's time for you step out of the spotlight, Hunter. Time for you to give it up and stay at home and take care of your children.  You have nothing left to come back for..your only friend in this business is lying in a hospital bed and will never be back in this company again.


[Chris Jericho]
Hunter, I know you're watching.. I hope you wake Shawn up for this... Everybody in this arena needs to turn their attention to the Jeritron.. for a very special Tribute to D-Generation X....







The video finishes playing and the camera cuts back to Chris Jericho smiling and laughing in the ring as the entire audience jeer Chris Jericho. The booing of Chris Jericho continues but Jericho isn't fazed in the slightest, he even appears to be enjoying the clear hate from the XWL Universe.


[Chris Jericho]
That right there..is the final sight of D-Generation X you will ever get to see. Shawn Michaels is finally gone, after years of false retirements, firings, losing his smile... I've finally ended it all. Shawn is finally gone and is never coming back. There isn't going to be another one of the many comebacks for Michaels, he isn't suddenly going to run down that ramp and attack me, so if you're all sat there hoping for that right now... then be prepared to be disappointed. The last image you will ever see of "The Hearbreak Kid" is him being carried from this ring with blood pouring from his head, and if Triple H knows what's right... the last image of him you will see is him begging and pleading me to stop, and I know for a fact that Uprising broke Triple H... It broke his spirit... it broke the fight inside him. So you can trust me when I say.. You will never ever see hi.....






Suddenly there's a huge cheer that rises up from the XWL Universe, cutting Jericho off mid-sentence.  Confused, he looks around to find the source of the excitement until the titantron starts showing live video footage from the backstage area.  Triple H is here!



The Game looks as though he has murderous-intent tonight as he wears a look that could kill.  Triple H has been angry before but this is on another level.  This is personal.  Jericho remains silent and stares at the titantron is disbelief as The King Of Kings makes his way through the many winding corridors, making a beeline for the ring with his trusty sledgehammer over his shoulder.  Jericho is either frozen in two minds about what to do - run and be safe or stand his ground and back up everything he has said - or he's frozen in fear.  It's hard to tell.  The crowd begin chanting "Triple H!" as the video feed dies away...





IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!


As the opening to Triple H's music begins the crowd lets out a louder cheer than before.  Jericho remains fixed in place, his eyes locked on the top of the entrance way as the emotionally-scarred Game appears, clearly hell-bent on getting some form of redemption for his fallen friend here tonight.



As he slowly edges ever closer to the ring, the fire appears to burn ever more in the eyes of The Game.  The Cerebral Assassin has one victim in mind tonight.  He's not here to wrestle.  He's not here to entertain.  He's not here to make jokes or have fun.  Triple H is here tonight to make Chris Jericho pay for what he did to his best friend Shawn Michaels, and for what he did to the legendary group of D-Generation X.



You could cut the tension with a knife as Triple H slowly begins to climb the ring steps, his eyes never faltering from Jericho who stands his ground.  Both men's gaze cannot be interrupted despite the obvious carnage which is about to take place.  The fans continue to build anticipation with their cheers and their chants of support for The Game, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears as he doesn't acknowledge them at all.  His mind is only focused on the task at hand:  The destruction of Chris Jericho.



Pausing on the apron, Triple H takes one long hard look at the man he hates the most in the entire world at this moment in time.  Jericho doesn't even break a sweat as his arch-nemesis begins to enter the ring, hammer and all...



And it's on!  Triple H darts towards Jericho, swinging the hammer high above his head but Jericho finally breaks and like the coward he is quickly evades the blow and slides out of the ring.  The crowd boos loudly as Jericho moves faster than he ever has before, leaping the barricade and quickly sprinting out of view.  Triple H is enraged.  He lets out something like an animal-like roar before going ballistic on the set of The Highlight Reel with the hammer.  Sparks, glass, metal, plastic - you name it - goes flying in every direction as The Game takes out his anger and frustration on Jericho's precious Highlight Reel furniture.  After several minutes of destruction, he finally relents and stares into the camera with the same, cold, murderous look that has been present on his face ever since arriving.  Jericho may have got away tonight, but if there's one thing for certain after this, this is far from over.  The screen fades to black for a commercial break.

Uprising Recap Video wrote:

A video displaying several wrestling chains, maneuveurs and counters of the epic match between Madison Eagles and Kana that took place at Uprising.  Suddenly out of nowhere, Eagles hits the Hellbound!

EAGLES PICKS UP THE VICTORY!

Eagles rises to her feet as Trish quickly rushes the ring and raises her arm in triumph over the returning Kana.

[Justin Roberts]
The winner of this match... MADISON EAGLES!

The crowd cheer and applaud after a very impressive display from the Australian.  Trish parades her friend around the arena like she is the best thing ever, making efforts not to put her injured arm in harms way.

[Jim Ross]
What a display by Madison Eagles!  She really delivered the goods here tonight and showed exactly why Trish believes she is the woman to lead the Divas Division into a new era!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
I knew that Eagles was good, but I didn't know she was that good.  That was amazing!

[Michael Cole]
I always knew that Madison Eagles had what it took to revolutionize the Divas Division but nobody else believed me.  But listen to these fans now.  They've come around to the idea and have grown to enjoy Eagles performing... maybe they even like her now.  And I have to say, it's about time.

[Jim Ross]
Eagles has been on fire ever since pairing up with Trish and one has to wonder what's next for this dominant duo?  Just imagine what they will be able to accomplish once Trish's arm is healed!

As Eagles begins to pose on each of the four turnbuckles, reveling in her victory, Trish claps her onward - albeit somewhat awkwardly with the sling in the way - with a huge smile on her face, pointing to her as she mounts each one.  The fans are chanting "That was awesome!" and several have even started an "Eagles! Eagles! Eagles" chant.  It's a stark contrast to what they were chanting just a few weeks ago.

As Eagles mounts the final turnbuckle, poses, and turns around...

CHICK KICK!!!!!!!!!!



Eagles falls backwards and down to the canvas in a heap as Trish connects with a devastating roundhouse kick to her head, knocking her out cold in one swift strike.  The crowd let out a "Ohhhhhh!" before murmurs of confusion sets in before a shocked silence.  Trish looks into the camera with an arrogant smirk as she removes her sling.



[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
What the!

[Jim Ross]
BAH GAWD! She just took her head off!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
I don't believe this!

[Michael Cole]
It looks like Trish is fully healed, but what is the meaning of this?

Trish holds up both her arms, showing that they are completely fine.  She looks down at Eagles and dusts her hands together, showing that her work here is done.  She shakes her head before beginning to leave up the ramp with an evil smile upon her face.  The fans are still confused, although some begin to boo as Trish makes her exit.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Why Trish why?  Why would you do this to your friend!  To someone you hand-picked to mentor and go on to be the face of the Divas Division?

[Jim Ross]
And not just why, but "was" Trish ever injured?  Was this all just a ploy to get to Eagles for some reason?  Faking an injury is definitely a sick, manipulative way to go about it.  Whatever happened to the Trish Stratus of old?  The Trish that everybody loved and the woman who pioneered women's wrestling a decade ago?  To say this is unexpected is an understatement.

[Jerry "The King" Lawler]
Well... I'm sure we'll hear more about this over the coming weeks. But right now I'm in shock JR.  I don't know what else to say.  I'm speechless!



The boos of the XWL Universe have significantly increased in volume as Trish nears the top of the ramp.  Before leaving completely she turns with a smug look on her face looking back at the motionless Eagles, shaking her head once again before completing her exit.

Following the Uprising recap video, Breakdown cuts to the backstage area where Todd Grisham is shown standing by alongside Trish Stratus.  A rumbling of boos can be heard off in the distance as the XWL Universe show their disapproval of Trish's actions at the PPV.



[Todd Grisham]
Ladies and gentlemen, I am live with the former mentor of Madison Eagles, Trish Stratus!

This appears to strike a nerve with Trish who snappily responds...



[Trish Stratus]
Is that all you are going to introduce me as Tom?  The former mentor of Madison Eagles?



[Todd Grisham]
Um... it's actually Todd.



[Trish Stratus]
How would you like it if I smacked those glasses right off your face Todd?  But seriously?  That's what you're going to call me?  What about "the greatest female wrestler in history" Trish Stratus?  What about "the legendary" Trish Stratus?  Why can't you give me the credit I'm due Todd?



[Todd Grisham]
I'm sorry, I just thought it was the most relevant thing to call you after what happened at Uprising...



[Trish Stratus]
What happened at Uprising was that I finally showed the world what a gullible, pathetic waste of space Madson Eagles really is.  Did she honestly think that someone like me... leagues ahead of her in terms of ability and class... would mentor her?  Did she really think that I saw something in her?  The only thing I see when I look at Eagles, is yet another whiny little girl trying to emulate the things that I did a decade ago when I put women's wrestling on the map along with the group of talented women we had back then.  Emphasis on "trying".  Because Eagles is failing badly and so is the rest of the Divas Division.



[Trish Stratus]
The fact is, I was the best 10 years ago and I'm the best right now.  All I had to do was fake an injury and I was able to pull the carpet from right under one of XWL's so-called "top" Divas and leave her lying in the ring unconscious wondering what the hell just happened.  I guess it makes a change from just lying down to get recognized which is what it seems you have to do to get noticed these days.  That's the only explanation I can see for people like Layla, Kaitlyn and Alicia Fox getting the spotlight... Even the fans today are different, they're actually happy with the mediocre product they get from the Divas.  It's disgusting!



[Trish Stratus]
It really... really... irks me that women's wrestling has become nothing more than a modelling contest.  And this is coming from a former fitness model.  Sure there might be a few slaps thrown in now and again, and a couple of horrible headlocks... but a decade ago, we gave the fans matches they never thought possible.  We left it all in that ring... we went to war... we made women stand out in a man's industry and we looked good doing it.  It sickens me how the Divas of today are happy to stand by and let failed models take their spots.  That's why I turned on Madison Eagles.  She's happy to sit on the sidelines like the pathetic loser that she is - despite wanting to be a wrestler for as long as she can remember - while others surpass her through their charms.



[Trish Stratus]
Hopefully that kick to the head does one of two things - either keeps her out of action indefinitely with a concussion or knocks some sense into her. Either way, I'm happy with myself.  I'm proud of what I've done and I'm proud of everything I'm about to do and that is go on to once again revolutionize women's wrestling and become Divas Champion.



[Trish Stratus]
Thanks for the interview Todd.  It's been your privilege.

With that, Trish turns and arrogantly walks away, leaving Grisham speechless.



The screen fades to a commercial break.

Breakdown resumes with the sound of some familiar music...



The music of Wade Barrett begins to play, with the usual hostile reaction from the XWL Universe.  Barrett begins to rise up in what has become his signature podium, with the customary smug look on his face everyone has come to expect.



Barrett continues to rise and rise high above everyone in the arena, making him the center of attention and emphasizing his superiority over them.



Before beginning his latest dictation, he hammers away with his gavel as if nobody was already paying attention to him.



[Wade Barrett]
Ladies and gentlemen, can I have some decorum please?

This causes the fans to roar in disapproval.



[Wade Barrett]
Tonight marks the Valentine's Day special edition of XWL Breakdown.  And not only do we get to witness a horrible mixed-tag match to mark this occasion, but all of you get to express your true love to the people you have feelings for.



[Wade Barrett]
But I'm afraid I've got some bad news!  If you can only show your true feelings once a year through cheap materialistic gifts then you don't truly love that person.  You're all a bunch of hypocrites who deserve to spend this Valentine's Day sad and alone, so you should ditch your so-called "loved ones" and go drown your sorrows about your pathetic lives in some seedy strip club where you would rather be anyway.  

The crowd boos ferociously.  Several hold their loved-ones close, some even hug or kiss to try and prove Barrett wrong.  He lets out a sly smirk before continuing.



[Wade Barrett]
It's blatantly obvious to me looking down at all of you right now that you know that what I'm saying is the truth.  And for any lovely ladies out there tonight looking up at me with lust-filled eyes, wanting a ride on my podium, I'm afraid I've got some more bad news!  I wouldn't lower my standards to the levels needed to go out with someone from Little Rock, Arkansas because I'd more than likely end up with several disgusting diseases!

Barrett laughs at his own joke hysterically for a few moments as the fans below sharpen their pitchforks before he continues.



[Wade Barrett]
But moving onto business.  Here in XWL, there's a lot of people pretending to be better than they really are.  Some are delusional and others are trying to hide their own flaws or imperfections.  Take Dean Ambrose for instance.  This is a man with clear mental health issues and he's being plastered around the place like a hero.  This is a man who has openly admitted on several occasions to attacking friends and family with housebricks, pipes and whatever else he can get his hands on.  Ambrose is a man who has insecurities and feels the need to surround himself with inferior "friends" for his own protection and so that he can feel confident in his own abilities.  Is that really a man you can call the best in the business today?  A man deserving of the World Heavyweight Championship and someone that can be called the face of this company?  I don't think so.



[Wade Barrett]
And then you have old, prehistoric fossils like D-Generation X, desperately clamoring for the spotlight at every opportunity and putting themselves in situations that they can no longer handle.  We all know how that turned out.  And then there's Bray Wyatt and his "family" of bearded freaks.  What kind of family sits around in the dark, plotting brutal assaults?  And what happened to all of the women in this "family"?  I can only imagine what kinds of activities they get up to on Valentine's Day...



[Wade Barrett]
The fact is, there are a lot of things wrong in XWL at the moment... But nothing is more wrong than the fact that I am currently not scheduled to compete at the biggest event of the year Final Stand which in itself is a complete and utter travesty.  But I have some good news.  I came out here a month ago and I stated that the Barrett Barrage had resumed and that I would once again become World Heavyweight Champion.  Since then, I have had to make do with defeating untalented locals or coming out here with words of wisdom... but finally I have a legitimate televised match-up.  Tonight I go one-on-one against Justin Gabriel.  It's no secret that we have a lot of history together and two years ago at Final Stand IV, Gabriel somehow managed to defeat me for the World Heavyweight Championship in what many have called the pivotal moment in my career where my downfall began.  



[Wade Barrett]
Tonight I put things right by defeating Justin Gabriel and erasing the loss that has haunted me in what will be yet another pivotal moment of my career as I begin my climb back up to the top of this industry.  So please, indulge yourselves in chocolates, wine, or whatever it is you managed to steal or scrounge from somewhere... because tonight you not only need to celebrate Valentine's Day... but you need to celebrate the second coming of Wade Barrett!  Thank you everybody!

Barrett begins hammering away with his gavel signalling the end of his rant.  He wears a satisfied smile as the "#BNB" logo takes up most of the screen signalling the end of this portion of Breakdown before a commercial break begins to play...

When Breakdown returns from a commercial break Josh Matthews is stood by backstage in the interviewing area as he introduces his guest

Josh Matthews: Ladies and gentlemen joining me at this time The Show Off, Dolph Ziggler.

The camera pans out to show Ziggler next to Josh Matthews in the middle of a handstand



Josh Matthews: Erm, Dolph

Not breaking his hold Dolph answers Josh as he remains stood upside down

Dolph Ziggler: Just a second.

Ziggler teases exiting his pose as he continues to speak

Dolph Ziggler: Ohh...

As Josh is seemingly forced to stand there and wait for Dolph to finish whatever he's doing to conduct an interview Dolph continues to tease Josh at the possibility of ending his handstand

Dolph Ziggler: Ohhh...

In a smooth motion Dolph handsprings out of the handstand onto his feet clearly impressed with himself shouting in excitement

Dolph Ziggler: OHHHH! Did you time that? New record, Josh, new record! Just how good am I?

As Josh pulls the microphone away to ask Dolph a question, Ziggler quickly aims the mic back to him answering his own question

Dolph Ziggler: So damn good, every single night!

Visibly still pleased with his accomplishment Ziggler reaches through his hair and flicks it out as he notices Josh wants to ask him something

Dolph Ziggler: What? Just spit it out.

Josh appears to be somewhat confused by Dolph's apparent urgency and he takes a moment to begin the interview

Josh Matthews: Dolph, last week at XWL Uprising you seemingly turned a corner, after weeks, months even of being in your own words a shell of the man you once were when you were at World champion, and you're now getting back on track to once again having that championship around your waist...



Clearly feeling the pressure of time Dolph cuts Josh off before he can finish his very long winded question

Dolph Ziggler: That's right Josh, it's just like I said last week I've been to the very top of this company higher than what anybody thought I'd ever get, I was the World Heavyweight champion, twice! And I was proving everybody wrong every single night, defying the odds, showing off and making it look so easy I could do it in my sleep and everybody who ever said I never could was forced to admit they were wrong about me and I wasn't afraid of letting them know it every single day I stepped into that ring and stole the entire show just like that, no questions asked. And I had lower points than any other superstar that's ever stepped foot in an XWL, and every single person who said I could never make it loved every second of it, but not any more. I'm not going to sit around feeling sorry for myself and I'm not going to make any excuses, I'm just going to go out there and do exactly what I do best and that's showing off, stealing the show and your girlfriend and making sure everybody knows just how damn good I am.

Josh Matthews: And of course tonight is the first test on just how far past that low point of your career you really are when you go one on one against Zack Ryder, a man who you've had quite the history with here in XWL.



Dolph Ziggler: History? Sure we could talk about everything that's gone on between me and Zack through out the years, who many times did I hack into Z! True Long Island Story and make it worth watching? Even his own father liked me better than him, I stole his HDMI cable, I stole his girlfriend, and I stole his show just like I've stole every other show I've ever been on, so for just one night only I'm bringing back "Ask The Heel", and there's only one question one everyone's mind.

Dolph pulls out a piece of paper as he reads out a fans question

Dolph Ziggler: @AdamLikesTea asks Just how good are you?

When Ziggler finishes reading the question he balls up the piece of paper and throws it over his shoulder and he quickly transitions into his answer

Dolph Ziggler: And the answer is as good as you can imagine only way better. 'Sup Brit. So sorry Zack, tonight you're just going to find out you can't keep up with the Heel, but that shouldn't be any surprise to you when you've spent every day of your life living in my shadow wishing you could just once that you could make it to the big time. Well guess what kid, I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt and conquered the world, and I'm just so damn sick of being so damn sick.

Again Dolph brushes his fingers through his hair before flicks his hands forward and he looks over to Josh Matthews in anticipation for the next question

Josh Matthews: So do have any concerns going into your match tonight? Earlier on Zack Ryder claimed that he knows you better than anyone and you'll underestimate him in your match.



Dolph Ziggler: You know what, Josh. He's right he knows exactly what he's going to get when he steps into the ring with me and that's the best thing thing going today, so I'm sorry to tell you kid but tonight the Ryder Revolution gets stopped dead in it's tracks, so after the match is done you can go back to doing what you do best, playing with your dolls wishing you were me. Zack, you and me are just alike, I've always said wrestling the fifth best thing I do, and that's the same for you, it's just a shame the four better things you do you're just not that good at any of them either, but at least you'll still have Z! True Long Island Story, sorry I forgot you gave that you just like you gave up on everything else when I turned up and out shone you every step of the way, oops, my bad. JK JK, it's so just easy when you're this damn good, and you'll find that out later tonight when I beat you before you can say "Woo Woo Woo" and you know it, it's not showing off when you're this damn good, and you'll find out just how good I still am tonight when I beat Zack Ryder in the middle of the ring and I'm going to do it the only way I know how.

Ziggler glances away off camera set quickly before he looks back over to Josh Matthews

Dolph Ziggler: Later, Mark.

With that said Ziggler walks out of the camera shot and interview area leaving Josh Matthews stood there as the cameras slowly fade out to end the segment

An image appears on the screen, signaling that the man who was able to dethrone Alberto Del Rio as World Heavyweight Champion just twenty four hours ago will be speaking in just a moment. In a night that was filled with many ups and downs for the West Side Army, what will XWL's new World Heavyweight Champion have to say about the events that transpired last night? The image fades after a few moments and the shot opens up with Dean Ambrose squatting in front of a closed door, looking down towards the floor with his newly won prize wrapped around his waist. Ambrose looks up towards the camera and without wasting a moment, begins to speak.



{Dean Ambrose}
We're twenty four hours removed from what was probably the biggest night in not only my career, but also in the West Side Army. We walked into Uprising ready to go to war and we walked out with the biggest prize in this company: The World Heavyweight Champion. Just like in every war, we suffered some casualties, for what is a war without blood being spilled and allies being lost?



{Dean Ambrose}
And what a bittersweet night Uprising was for us, Sara Del Rey puts AJ Lee in her place, The Ryback rejoins his brothers and sister in the West Side Army and makes it one big happy family once again, I become the World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in my career, and just when you think it was a history making night for us and nothing could ruin it, Stephanie McMahon decides to intervene in matters that didn't concern her and fires Amazing Red on the spot. The word bittersweet couldn't be any more perfect to describe last night.



{Dean Ambrose}
Stephanie McMahon likes to believe that she's a hurricane, she likes to believe that she takes no prisoners, but she's nothing more than a gentle breeze, we, the West Side Army, are the true hurricane. I will admit, however, you did throw us a curve ball last night, you fired one of our own, whether you knew him as Amazing Red, Sangriento, or both, that's a wound that won't heal easily. Stephanie proved last night that the name "McMahon" still has power in this sport, I won't deny that you do, but you don't have nearly as much as you believe you have.



Ambrose begins to rise up to his feet, removing the World Heavyweight Championship from around his waist before continuing to speak.



{Dean Ambrose}
With his World Heavyweight Championship now in my possession, it is the West Side Army that has all the power now, we call the shots, and we do what we please. You firing Amazing Red last night may have caught us off guard, but trust me when I say, this is far from over and this isn't the last you've seen of him.



{Dean Ambrose}
Del Rio, you did something last night that no one else before you has done: You made me feel pain. Now before you get an ego boost, I don't mean physical pain, and I don't mean mentally either. The pain you caused me was almost unbearable, it was the pain of watching you try to win a losing battle, it was watching you try to do the impossible, it was you trying to tempt fate, only for you to ultimately and inevitably fall before Dean Ambrose.



{Dean Ambrose}
I am not this company's model champion, I’m not Alberto Del Rio nor do I claim to be, I’m not Dolph Ziggler nor do I want to be, I’m not Ted DiBiase or Randy Orton, I didn't get here because of my last name, I’m Dean Ambrose, I am a self made god among men, and I don't plan on promoting this company on talk shows or in interviews with people I couldn't care less about, what I do plan on doing, however, is making this company pay for what they did to Amazing Red, more specifically, I’m going to make Stephanie pay. And the first part of that plan was set in motion last night, when I defeated Alberto Del Rio and brought this World Heavyweight Championship into the possession of the West Side Army.



{Dean Ambrose}
History is written by the victor and that's exactly what I did last night, I made history. For the first time in my career, I became this company's World Heavyweight Champion, I single handedly took that championship from Del Rio and like I said before the match, there was nothing he could do about it. Dean Ambrose has always been synonymous with words like “unhinged,” “sociopath,” “psychotic,” “uncaring,” “calculating,” “survivor.” Now it will be synonymous with "Champion." Yeah, I'll say that again, Dean Ambrose is the World Heavyweight Champion.



{Dean Ambrose}
All the people who didn't think I had what it took to make it to this point, all the people who kicked me when I was down, all the people who did everything within their power to make sure my life was a living hell, while you live your pathetic lives trying to make ends meet, while you work at your dead end jobs, watching me become a World Champion. it is I, that same kid who had to scratch and claw his way to get to this point, that same guy everybody thought would end up dead in a ditch, who several years later has gotten the last laugh. This is a sight you should get used to, because it'll be a long time before I lose this World Heavyweight Championship.



{Dean Ambrose}
People in this sport sacrifice everything they have fought so hard to attain, they shed blood, they're away from their families for a better part of the year, they live their life not knowing if today is their last day, they put themselves through that just for a chance, an opportunity, their one shot at immortality to do what I did last night. Many don't even make it to this point, let alone become World Champion, so I should be happy, right? I should be ecstatic that I'm one of the very few people who could say that they've held this championship, but I'm not. There's two reasons for that, the obvious one being Amazing Red getting mistreated by an "unbiased" general manager and being fired last night.



{Dean Ambrose}
We may be down a member but we're far from being outclassed. We may be down a man but we're still just as much dangerous as we were before. Numbers don't make a faction great, they make it weak. There's a reason why only a select few have had the privilege, no, the honor of being a part of the West Side Army, because Don West doesn't settle for anything less than the best of what this business has to offer. Unlike Heyman's version of the Brady bunch, we aren't a couple of misfits and hasbeens who are doing anything to keep themselves relevant, we're better than that, the West Side Army is the future, not the past like Heyman's “crew.”



{Dean Ambrose}
The second reason is after I became World Heavyweight Champion, it should feel like a momentous occasion, shouldn't it? I should be on Cloud 9, right? Yet, I'm still grossly unsatisfied by being on the mountain top, I still feel empty inside, even after proving everybody wrong and winning this championship. Dean Ambrose doesn't settle for being the second best, hell, I won't settle for being the best, I'm better than the best, I'm Dean Ambrose: The World Heavyweight Champion. So if anybody wants a shot, all you have to do is step up, but trust me when I say, if you step up, be prepared to get knocked down, fast.



{Dean Ambrose}
Speaking of people who will get knocked down, Ted DiBiase “shocked” the world last night, after what? Three years? He turned his back on not only his “fans” but also his “amigo,” Alberto Del Rio. Why not add more insult to injury on an already beaten man? You put him through the announcers table for good measure, can't say I blame you, I would have done the exact same thing. You finally grew a pair, Ted, it finally clicked in your head, these people don't care about you, you learned that at The Monster Bash last year, and it only took you four months to turn your back on them.



{Dean Ambrose}
These people are nothing more then sheep, they cheer who they're told to cheer, and they boo anybody and everybody who won't become one of their puppets. Since I joined this company nearly two years ago, before I even said a single word, these people judged me on my appearance alone and booed with without hesitation. That is one of the many reasons why I refuse to become a “People's Champion,” I refuse to be labeled as such. I am not a champion of the people, I am the champion of the World!



{Dean Ambrose}
You're finally getting it, Ted, you're finally seeing the light. Your eyes were finally opened and you see the truth now. But even with your new found clarity, you're still an enemy of Dean Ambrose, and you will be as long as you have that Money in the Bank Briefcase, or maybe, you're one of my greatest allies.



{Dean Ambrose}
In a “shocking” turn of events, this company thought it would be a good idea to put its new World Heavyweight Champion and its current Divas Champion together in a mixed tag match, and that's not all, our opponents? Two people I have a bit of history with, former Divas Champion, AJ Lee, and another of West Side Army's own, The Ryback. I don't know if this is just another one of Stephanie's tricks to try and create tension between Don West's Army, or if they are finally realizing that The Ryback is this company's next breakout star.



{Dean Ambrose}
Either way, I know how The Ryback thinks, I know what's going through his mind right now, on his first night free from Heyman's clutches, he has to not only face one of his own, but he has to face the World Heavyweight Champion. I know The Ryback won't hold back, nor will I, but that doesn't mean we're going to tear each other apart, no, all that means is that we're going to show this company what happens when you put two of the best wrestlers in the history of this company in the same ring.



{Dean Ambrose}
This isn't a battle for superiority, this isn't to see which one of us is better, this match will be dedicated to the memory of Amazing Red, Sangriento and every other former member of the West Side Army that has succumb to the power hungry egos of the people in charge. Tonight, The Ryback and I will show everybody what happens when you try to tear apart the West Side Army. Tonight, we will show why we're the greatest faction in this company, past, present and future. Believe that!



With that said, Ambrose stares into the camera, a stoic expression replacing his usual one. He continues to stare into the camera for a few more moments, potentially making the cameraman more and more uneasy with each passing second. Just as Ambrose was about to walk away from the camera, a feminine voice stops him in his tracks.


Well hello there, Valentine.



Greeting him with a friendly smile is none other than The Divas Champion, and his partner in the Main-Event, Layla. Dean smirks as he spots Layla, his eyes lowering past her eyes, and past her face entirely.


Excuse me, my eyes are up here?

{Dean Ambrose}
I'm aware of that, but your tit... le is down there. What is that even supposed to be? A pink butterfly? That's not a championship, that's a damn toy for little girls.




Gee, are you always this charming, or is this just love at first fight?

{Dean Ambrose}
If that's your pick up line, you're going to have to try a lot harder than that, Miss Divas “Champion.”


I bet all the ladies say that to you, “champ.”

{Dean Ambrose}
If you're going to attempt to insult someone, at least get your facts straight, no one in their right mind would call me Divas Champion. Does this prestigious championship look like a pink butterfly to you? No, because this is what a real championship looks like.


Shame it’s not with a “REAL” champion.

{Dean Ambrose}
Says the person that didn't defend their "championship" last night.




You know what they say, winning it is one thing, keeping it is another.

{Dean Ambrose}
Or in your case, and in the case of the rest of the lesser “champions,” defending it is another.




My my my, you sure know how to make a girl feel special, don’t you Mr. Ambrose? Flattery only goes so far, just like this thing between us tonight. Don’t go getting the wrong idea now, while you’re quite the “catch”  most of us girls back here are mainly considered about catching something from you.

{Dean Ambrose}
It's funny you say that, because not sixty seconds ago, you were thinking about how exactly you were going to “catch” me. I saw the look in your eyes, nothing more than animalistic lust. I wouldn't be surprised if tonight's Main Event was your idea, your way of getting close to the new World Heavyweight Champion before you made your move.


What can I say, when you’re right, you’re right. I arranged tonight’s entire show from top to bottom, and all so that we could finally be alone together. Because I long for you, I thirst for your attention, I can hide it no longer, I want The D.



Ambrose goes to speak but can't seem to gather the words he wants, opting think about what was just said. A few seconds pass before Ambrose opens his mouth again, only to fall victim to a cat getting him tongue, his eyes wandering around as he processes what was just said. Is Ambrose speechless for the first time in his career? Before that could be answered, Layla continues to speak, filling the silence.


The Big D himself, Dean Ambrose. Or at least, that's what you'd like to hear, isn't it? That I just wanted an excuse to "get to you." But only in your dreams would that be true. No, the truth of the matter is, Stephanie just wanted to play up Valentine's Day by throwing her two champions together, but rest assured...after tonight, there won't be any more "intimate" meetings like this sweetheart.

{Dean Ambrose}
You almost had me going there, almost. Where are my manners? I didn't give you your Valentine's Day gift, did I? Why don't I give it to you now?

Ambrose lowers his arm down towards his boot, a known place where he keeps his trusty lead pipe. Layla sees this and takes a step back, knowing that this could end badly quick. Before Ambrose could give Layla her “gift,” a man's voice is heard from off screen, causing both Layla and Ambrose to shift their attention towards the direction of the voice.

{Guy}
Excuse me, Layla? I was told to give this to you immediately.

He hands her a card, causing her to look at Ambrose.


You almost got me, Dean, would you believe that I thought you were going to attack me with a lead pipe?

As Layla opens the card to read it, Ambrose is heard mumbling, “I was...” to himself. A few moments pass, the expression on Layla's face changes as she realizes that it's not from Ambrose, but from her friend and opponent at Final Stand, Paige. She reads it aloud.


“Roses are red
Violets are blue
Keep that title close
Because I'm coming for you

-Paige”

The smug look on Ambrose's face says it all. He crosses his arms over his chest before speaking.

{Dean Ambrose}
Did you really think that was from me? That's adorable. You know, I'd love to continue whatever this was with you, but I've got somewhere to be. See you out there, “Champ.”

With that said, Ambrose walks away from the scene, leaving Layla standing alone. After a few more moments of awkward silence, Ambrose is heard laughing at the top of his lungs from down the corridor, causing Layla to look in his direction before looking back down at the card she's received from Paige. We're not sure what she's thinking after receiving a "Valentine" from her Number One Contender, and we're not given any time to find out because we immediately fade out.

As Breakdown continues the cameras cut to the ring as the final touches are being put to a somewhat elaborate set up in the ring, consisting on a buffet table, red, white and blue bunting and balloons

Jim Ross: Judging by the decorations in the ring I guess it's time for Antonio Cesaro's celebration, as it were, although I'm not entire sure what exactly this celebration is for.

Michael Cole: Are you kidding me? Why shouldn't we be celebrating our United States champion? He's an ambassador to this great country. I for one am proud to call Antonio Cesaro our champion, and I can't wait to watch this celebration of our great champion.

As Michael Cole finishes speaking the theme of the United States champion, Antonio Cesaro starts to play through out the arena as the crowd start to boo the champions imminent arrival



When Cesaro walks out onto the stage he's carrying the flag of the United States of America, and he waves to proudly above his head with the crowd booing him before he starts to make his way down to the ring



Michael Cole: And there he is the fan of the hour himself, the United States champion and he's waving Old Glory proudly, what a man, what a champion we have.

Jim Ross: That's one way you could put it, but I don't care for him. Just look at him, he thinks he's better than everyone, he looks down at the people, at the country he represents and see's us as inferiors. That's not a champion worth being proud of and these fans here tonight see right through him.

When Cesaro reaches ringside he waves to flag again for a few seconds before places it in a stand next to the ring and he walks up the steel steps onto the ring apron before entering the fully decorated ring

Jerry "The King" Lawler: I've got to agree with you, JR. Cesaro should be ashamed of himself, he's a disgrace to that championship and the flag that's on it, how can somebody genuinely think they know what's best for this country, if you don't like it, get it, that's what I say.

Michael Cole: Oh, please, you can't honestly tell me that you don't think Antonio Cesaro hasn't been a great champion, and if you ask me Lawler, you could do with some of his European class.

As Cesaro stands in the ring now with a microphone in his hand his music fades out as the boos persist from the crowd



Thank you Little Rock!

With that said the boos only grow louder with the fans letting Cesaro know exactly what they think of him

As you already know my name is Antonio Cesaro, and I am your United States champion!

Cesaro grabs the United States championship from around his waist and raises it above his head much to the disdain from the fans with their hate of Cesaro filtering through out the arena

And since we re all here tonight, to celebrate my reign as your champion, I would like to thank you all in all of my five fluent languages.

Through out Cesaro's speech the crowd can be heard chanting "USA, USA, USA" as Cesaro starts to thank the crowd in a variety of languages



Thank you.

Grazie

Merci

Dangge

Danke

For two months now I have been your United States champion for the third time, and many people are saying I, Antonio Cesaro am the greatest United States champion of all time, just look at the superstars I have defeated in the last few months, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kenny King, The Ryback, and the list goes on and on and it will continue to, particularly at Final Stand when I defend my United States championship against Roman Reigns. Who last week defeated Prince Devitt as I watched on from commentary for the right to call himself the number one contender to my championship. So in six weeks time Roman Reigns will walk down that aisle and step into the ring with the Swiss Superman at the biggest show of the year, and he will find out why I am the pound for pound strongest man in XWL today and a superior athlete to you.

At Final Stand VI not only will I beat you, I will prove to the entire world just how good I am and why I am the greatest United States champion of all time!

Again the boos from the crowd continue with Cesaro seemingly intent on shoving down the fact he is their champion down their throats



But it wouldn't be a celebration without some party favours and as your United States champion I have provided some hallmark American party foods, so here I have with me.

Cesaro walks over to the buffet table and uncovers the first item of food

Hot dogs, or as they are called in their native country.

Frankfurters.

Cesaro then uncovers the next plate uncovering a large plate on French Fries

Fries.

When Cesaro points out the original name of fries the crowd boo him

Pommes frites.

Antonio starts to make his way down the table unveiling each dish as it comes along

Pretzels

Brezel.

When Cesaro reaches the end of the table he pauses for a moment before revealing a giant bowl of Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese

Macaroni et fromage.

Cesaro pauses for a moment as he walks over a to sizeable red, white and blue cover next to the table and he quickly removes the cover revealing a large keg

And of course every bodies favourite, Beer.

At the appearance of beer a section of the crowd cheers...as Cesaro looks on very pleased of himself, however the reasons why aren't exactly known



I'm sure you've figured it out already, but none of these traditional American foods are as American as you might of thought, in fact Hotdogs, Fries, Mac and Cheese and Preztels all come from my continent Europe, which thanks to you these great European foods have been turned into unhealthy junk foods in this country. And beer? Don't even get me started, but it just goes to show just how European you people really are, even though you're doing it all wrong at least it's a start.

Antonio picks up the ladle inside the bowl of Mac and Cheese, helping himself to some of the food, before quickly spitting it out back into the bowl it came from in disgust

Ekelhaft

He then grabs a napkin trying to wipe the revolting taste from his mouth, taking a few seconds to do so before addressing the crowd again

That is why I am here to tell you, to help all of you become better. To help you become the best you that you possibly can be. Even though I am very European, I am Über Amercian and that means I am here to help you all and to help America be the best America it can be. Try swapping your beer and your hot dogs for a good coffee and a high protien diet and trade in your lazy boy seat for pair on running shoes and maybe one day you can be like your hero, Antonio Cesaro.

But right now I would like to introduce you all to my good friend, a fellow great American, a man that has represented this country in foreign lands, and has gave everything to defend this flag and everything it stands for, so please join me in welcoming my good friend, Zeb Colter!

Cesaro proudly looks up at the titantron as the theme as Zeb Colter starts to play



After a few seconds Zeb walks out onto the stage as the crowd looks on, not knowing what to think as he starts to make his way down to the ring

Michael Cole: That ladies and gentlemen is Zeb Colter, a proud veteran of the Vietnam war, who we've seen with the likes of Jack Swagger up until some time ago. A very opinionated man to say the least.

Jim Ross: He's not someone who keeps his mouth shut, if he has something to say, he's going to say it.

Michael Cole: That was kind of my point, JR.

Jerry "The King" Lawler: But what exactly is Mr. Colter doing out here, and what business does he have with Antonio Cesaro?

Jim Ross: I don't know, King, but whatever it is Cesaro certainly seems happy to see him.

As Zeb enters to ring he shakes the hand of Antonio Cesaro before he hands the microphone over to Zeb and his music fades out



Zeb Colter: I have just one thing to say, shame on you. How dare you people boo this man? How dare you boo this real American? Antonio Cesaro is a man who upholds to values that this country was founded on and thrived under, and you boo him? Ladies and gentlemen when you boo Antonio Cesaro, your United States champion, not only is it a spit in the face of this great man, but it's a spit in the face of every man and woman that calls themselves a proud American, every man and woman that has fought for your freedom and I will not stand for it.

As Zeb showing his true feelings on the poor treatment of the United States champion the crowd begin booing him as well, clearly showing no respect for the man who defended their country, nor his ability to grow such an amazing moustache, however they are in Little Rock, what else could you expect from these low life Arkansasans



Zeb Colter: I stand here side by side with Antonio Cesaro because I now what he stands for is exactly what this great country once stood for. Hard work, dedication, perseverance and a never say die attitude. That is what made this country great, and that's the country I gladdy risked my life for, and it's the values that I will fight to uphold until the day I die. And if you people could be a little bit more like this fine young man, Antonio Cesaro then this country would not be in the state it is in. The United States of America was founded on the same ideals that Antonio Cesaro possesses, and you people have forgotten that.



Zeb Colter: Antonio Cesaro is not the bad guy here, no no no, Antonio Cesaro has the makings to become one of the all time great Americans, and as of last week Antonio Cesaro is the proud owner of an American Passport and that means he is a legal permanent citizen of this great nation, and he obtained that status through the proper legal routes. He is just as American as you and I, and he holds every single right bar one that  we all have and quite frankly who are you to boo a man who is as American as Apple Pie? A man who has fought for the right to call himself an American citizen, a man who unlike nearly one of two of you all hear tonight will gladly use his right to vote in the next election, because he wants what is best for America. A man who as an American contributes to society and pays his taxes, unlike the countless of illegals that sneak undetected over our borders, stealing from our government, stealing from your children, and quite frankly stealing a living. No, Antonio Cesaro is a real American and a man who is truly fit to represent the red, white and blue that is Old Glory. So I request that you all stand up on your feet and say with me in one proud voice.

Zeb with the microphone in his left hand raises his right hand placing it over his heart as Antonio Cesaro does the same as they speak in unison with the crowd booing them in the background

Zeb Colter and Antonio Cesaro: We the people!



Michael Cole: Business has just picked up!

Due to what they have had to witness and hear from Colter and Cesaro, Reigns receives a positive reaction from the XWL crowd. Reigns appears in the crowd and starts making his way down the steps, fans pat him on the back as he makes his way down. He reaches the bottom of the stairs and walks over to the barricade and stares inside the ring at Cesaro and Co. Cesaro doesn't look intimidated, Colter doesn't look impressed, Reigns doesn't look like he cares and hops over the barricade.



Reigns stands next to the apron, staring into the ring with an intense look on his face. He is handed a microphone and he climbs up onto the apron and into the ring. He walks around the ring a little, looking at all of the junk that Cesaro has filled the ring with, including Zeb Colter!

[Roman Reigns]
This is real nice. I mean you've got your food, you've got your beer and you've got your Championship. It's a party, afterall you deserve one after Uprising. I mean who else could sit on their ass and commentate on a match instead of being what a Champion should be and defending that Championship every PPV. Maybe that's the European in you, maybe you don't have the fighting American Spirit, perhaps you would rather take flight than stand and fight but maybe that's not a bad strategy to have because now you're coming up against the biggest, baddest and fastest rising star this company and industry has seen to date. You gave me your little list, you've beat people that are past it, living off of their name and should have called it quits years ago, well in case you haven't realised I'm a completely different animal.

[Roman Reigns]
You sat nice and cosey behind a desk last night, playing make believe, believing that you are actually deserving of calling yourself a Champion. While I, in one single night took out one of the biggest names that this industry has ever seen in Randy Orton and then took out one of the most athletic and gifted superstars that has ever walked into this company in Prince Devitt. I took them out, one by one, in the blink of an eye, despite already taking a beating beforehand I walked into that match and I walked out Number one Contender for that Championship that you're desperately clutching to right now but know this son, time is ticking and I appreciate that you're so eager to keep that Title warm for me but I will be taking it from you very, very soon.

Reigns points at Zeb Colter

[Roman Reigns]
It looks like you've found yourself a cheering section, a man to sing your praises and try to convince these people that you're actually a “Real American” and not just some wanna-be. Congratulations, but do you think that General Lee here can protect you from me?

Zeb Colter: Now hold on a minute...

[Roman Reigns]
Boy, if you interrupt me again I will rip that mustache off of your face.

The crowd cheer loudly as Zeb is seemingly put in his place. Zeb lowers his microphone quickly and takes a little step back so Cesaro is closer to Reigns. The fans love the idea so much that a they begin chanting "RIP IT OFF! RIP IT OFF! RIP IT OFF!" Colter covers his mustache and shouts at the capacity crowd to shut up but that only makes matters worse.

[Roman Reigns]
Nothing can save you from me, nothing can save you from me taking that Championship from you and showing you and this racist what a “Real American” can actually do, what a United States Champion should actually be. Now I know we are scheduled to face at Final Stand, the biggest PPV of the year but there is a long time between now and then and I'm never one to talk, I prefer action so what do you say we do this right here, right now.

Michael Cole: Oh this is going to be good.

Jim Ross: In the words of the great Gorilla Monsoon, now we find out what happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object.

Reigns drops his microphone and steps backwards, he stretches his neck and tells Cesaro to bring it. Cesaro lowers the Championship from his shoulder to the canvas, he unzips his jacket and hands it to Zeb Colter who flees the ring after picking up the Championship. The crowd are excited, two of the most powerful men in the company are about to lock up and fight for the right to call themselves the United States Champion. Reigns backs into the corner and stretches his arms using the top rope while Cesaro cracks his neck twice. The two men circle the ring, sizing up the other man and then they...



[Stephanie McMahon]
Hey, hey, hey!

Stephanie rushes out onto the stage and quickly down to the ring to stop the situation from progressing any further. She climbs into the ring and places herself in between Cesaro and Reigns to stop both men killing one another. She is handed a microphone and raises it to her mouth.



[Stephanie McMahon]
Both of you stop it right now! What on Earth do you think you two are doing? Roman, just because you won two matches in the same night do you think that gives you the power to decide when and where a match takes place? Hell no! I decide when a match takes place. Do you two not realise the potential that this match has going for it? Two of the most powerful men that have ever graced this company locking up for the right to be the United States Champion, it's a match that has people talking and it is a match that can make this company a lot of money. Now it seems that you two can't behave in a mature or civilised manner so I am going to have to take extreme measures to make sure that this investment is protected.

[Stephanie McMahon]
So between now and Final Stand, there shall be absolutely no fighting between either of you. Roman, if you decide it upon yourself to get in a little brawl with Antonio here, then you shall be stripped of your #1 Contenders spot and you will be replaced in that match at Final Stand.

Cesaro points and laughs at Roman Reigns, then realising what this means starts egging on Roman to fight him.



[Stephanie McMahon]
Nice try. If you take it upon yourself to fight Roman Reigns, then not only shall you be replaced in the match at Final Stand but you shall be stripped of your United States Championship! Now heed your warning. None of you are above this match or this company. If either of you make these kind of decisions for yourselves again, then you can be sure of the outcome.

Stephanie exits the ring and walks up the ramp, not even bothering to look back at the two men in the ring who don't know what to do with themselves. Both were fully prepared for a fight but now that idea has been cut short, both can be seen talking smack to one another, trying to gain a reaction from the other but both men get in one anothers face. The smack talk continues, to insure that this situation doesn't once again escalate, Zeb Colter gets into the ring and starts pulling Cesaro back, to keep the United States Championship around his waist but Cesaro shrugs him off and gets back in Roman's face. The two powerhouses staring at one another is the last image seen as XWL fades out into a commercial break.

Breakdown returns from commercials and we see someone backstage holding the latest issue of XWL Magazine.



We hear a male voice clear his throat so the person reading the magazine lowers it. We see none other than Michelle McCool. She’s joined by Joey Styles. Styles smiles and begins to speak

{Joey Styles}
Pardon me, Michelle? I was just wondering if I could get a few questions in?



Michelle smiles and speaks



{Michelle McCool}
Well sure Hun, but, can you make it quick I’ve got a match to get ready for that’s coming up in a few minutes.

Styles lightly laughs and nods before speaking



{Joey Styles}
First off I’d like to congratulate you on your back to back wins over the recent weeks. With that in mind what’s your mindset going into this match tonight?

She smiles and clears her throat before speaking



{Michelle McCool}
It’s quite simple, since I’ve been back y’all have been nothing but the best for me and supported me around every turn. So I’ve taken that love and support and I”ve helped let it keep me focused when I’m out there in the middle of that ring. Look what it’s gotten me so far. I’ve ended the semi-undefeated streak of Paige briefly and the wins just keep on coming. I’m hoping to do the same tonight and then move onto bigger and better things of course.

Joey interrupts



{Joey Styles}
Final Stand I assume?

She laughs and then continues



{Michelle McCool}
Well aren’t you on the ball today Hun. Of course I mean Final Stand. Now I know y’all haven’t seen me much outside of a match here and there but, after tonight, I’m looking to change that. It all starts out there in that ring against Miss Alicia Fox. With y’all behind me there’s nothing I can’t do and that.. That’s Real Talk.

Michelle pleasantly smiles and pats Joey on the shoulder. She hands him the magazine and begins to make her way to the other side of the arena and out to her match

Normal Diva's Match

Alicia Fox came up short in a surprise number one contender's match last night at Uprising, so having lost to one of The Champion's friends she'll be looking to make up for that loss by taking on yet another. Will Michelle McCool have the same luck Paige did last night, or will Alicia outfox her.

The crowd comes alive as the theme of Daniel Bryan hits, the crowd now chanting "YES" and "NO" all over the arena. The announcer's voice takes over the airwaves, introducing the indie pro as he walks out onto stage wearing his "Respect the Beard" t-shirt. He stands atop the stage, enjoying the crowd's reaction before hoisting his arms into the air and galloping down the ramp, chanting "YES!" over and over again. He makes it down the ramp in no time and stop at the bottom of it, shouting one last "YES!" chant before dropping his arms. He climbs onto the apron and then onto the turnbuckle, taunting to the crowd. He then jumps over the top rope and into the ring, bouncing around chanting "YES!" over and over again until his theme cuts out.



The build up for the song comes to a halt as Eric Young comes out onto stage clapping and head bobbing to the beat. He then starts slapping his chest and arms to the beat as he heads down the ramp, ready to square off against Daniel Bryan. Halfway down the ramp, he finds a younger kid in the crowd reaching for a lock-up. Young walks over, locks up with him and continues his march down the ramp as the kid bounces with glee. At the bottom of the ramp, he turns left and climbs the stairs. He enters the ring and then continues slapping his chest and arms, enjoying the crowds cheers for him. His theme eventually cuts out as Young and Bryan face off in opposing corners, the bell ringing to signal the start of the bout.

The two circle each other, both clapping to get the crowd going for this great match to come. Then, they lock-up. Both try to find a vantage point as Young backs Bryan up into the corner. Bryan spins him around, pushing him against the ropes and backing Young up into another corner. Young spins around, placing Bryan's back against the corner. The ref calls for Young to back up, and Young does, releasing Daniel slowly, not sure how he will react. Young then back up, letting Bryan come out of the corner.

The two lock up again, this time Bryan ducks over Young's arm, getting behind him. He locks hands and pushes him forward against the ropes, rolling him backwards into a roll-up.

Kick out!

Not even a two as Young rolls Bryan off and regains his footing, ready to go again. They lock up for a third time this match, Young gaining the advantage and hip tossing Bryan to the mat. Young stays on top of him, working Bryan's arm. Bryan hips up, staying off the mat for a moment. He soon regains his footing and is facing Eric, now in a headlock from the front. Young tries to wrench it to no effect as Bryan begins punching the ribcage of Young. Young has to let go as Bryan starts to send kicks to the legs of Young. He backs Eric up against the ropes, irish whipping him off of them. On the backswing, Bryan hip tosses Eric to the mat, covering.

Kick out!

Once again, not even a two as Bryan is back on the attack, locking up the head of Eric, trying to wear him down. Eric claws at Bryan's hands, trying to pry himself free. He soon begins to hip up, on his feet, side to Bryan. He sends an elbow at Bryan, trying to break the grip. Another, and another. Bryan doubles over in front of Young as Erick takes his head, and slams it to the mat. Young then stands, knowing Bryan won't be down for long, running the ropes. On the back swing, he hits Bryan with a big forearm shot to the face.

Kick out!

Young is on his feet, as well as Bryan as the two begin to trade shots. Punches and kicks alike. However, Bryan is too fast for Young as he backs Young up into the corner. He then grabs hold of the ropes to his left, sending kick after kick to the chest of Young. Young eats shot after shot as Bryan builds momentum. Daniel then stops, running to the opposing turnbuckle and bouncing off of it, shooting back across the ring. He jumps, looking to dropkick Young. Young ducks out of the way, causing Bryan to hit the turnbuckle, falling to the mat hard. Young finds the will to get to his feet first, seeing Bryan sprawled eagle spread in front of the turnbuckle. Young slowly but surely goes to mount the turnbuckle, calling for the elbow drop. Young comes off the top, connecting with a huge elbow drop, covering.

Kick out!

Young sits up, knowing what he has to do next as he drags Bryan up by his hair. He begins chopping away at Bryan, backing him up against the ropes. Bryan, dazed, leans against the ropes as Young takes off across the ring. He comes sprinting back across, looking to clothesline Bryan. Bryan drops his shoulder, causing Young to vault over the top rope, and to the outside. Bryan takes a minute to regain composure before doing his own sprint across the ring and back, diving through the middle of the ropes, connecting with a now standing Eric. They both crash to the outside in front of the commentary table with the crowd going nuts.

Bryan is on his feet first, rolling Young into the ring. Bryan climbs onto the apron as Eric reaches his feet in the ring, still appearing to be dazed. Bryan leaps onto the ropes, diving into the ring for a cross body. Young turns into him doing such and instinctively catches him, mid-air. Bryan begins to shake with attempts of freeing himself as Young begins to nod up and down, sticking out his tongue to the roaring crowd. Young then moves Bryan to his shoulders, screaming out some uncomprehendable phrase before spinning. The Airplane spin drives the commentary table crazy with enjoyment as the crowd counts the spins.

On the fifteenth spin around, Young collapses from dizziness, both him and Bryan lay on the mat, unable to move for a few moments. Young the rolls over and covers Daniel.

Kick out!

Young sits up, confused on how that is even possible. He then stands, thinking over to himself what he could do next. He then leans down, looking to pick up Bryan only for Bryan to roll him up.

Kick out!

Bryan rolls back into a corner, sitting up in it as Young runs a hand over his face, slightly scared now. Young the stands, as does Bryan in the corner. Eric takes off, looking to hit Bryan in the corner. Bryan rolls out of the way, causing Eric to body splash the corner. Bryan catches him as he backs off of it from behind and hooks his head and leg, picking him up and going backwards with him. The Regal Plex! Bryan keeps it locked, pinning Eric.

Kick out!

Early two on that one. Young rolls over onto his back, breathing heavily as Bryan starts to fill it. His head begins to shake the scruffy hair that graces it, and he screams out: "NO!" Bryan the takes to the top rope, steadying himself then pointing to the sky. He then comes off the top, hitting the diving headbutt on Young. He stands up again, not wasting time covering. He begins to chant, starting up the crowd. "YES! YES! YES!"

Bryan backs up into the corner, chanting loudly as the crowd does as well. Young begins to get to his feet and Daniel takes off out of the corner, looking to hit the flying knee. Young ducks it, causing Bryan to sail over him. Young turns around and Bryan is back on his feet, turning to Young. Young picks up Bryan for what looks to be the "EY Driver." Bryan elbows Young in the face, halting him. Bryan flips off his shoulders, grabbing Eric's arm as he goes. As Bryan his his feet, he drags Eric to the mat, locking him up in the "YES!" Lock. Bryan begins to wrench the head, trying to make Eric tap as Young begins to crawl for the ropes. The crowd comes alive again as he makes it, grabbing onto the ropes, forcing the release of the hold.

Bryan gets frustrated, not knowing what else to do and settles upon trying to knee again. He backs up, chanting to the crowd as Young slowly but surely gets to his feet. Bryan takes off, but is stopped as Young makes the first move, decking him with a huge clothesline. Bryan cuts almost a complete backflip, landing on his stomach as Young gets a sudden new burst of momentum. He calls for his finisher, stumbling over to Bryan's head, dragging him off the mat. He wraps his arms around Bryan's waist and lifts him up, dropping him in seconds with a piledriver. Young covers as Bryan goes limp.

The crowd goes crazy as Young rolls off, tired from the performance he just put on. Daniel eventually comes to, stirring and gets to his feet. Holding his head, he calls to Eric who stops his celebrating to shake Bryan's hand. Bryan heads off to the back to get checked out by the medics as Young climbs the top rope, slapping his chest and arms to the beat of the music. When suddenly the lights go out!








We're Here.....








Eric is panicking in the ring as Bray marches out onto the stage, lantern in hand and entourage in tow. Bray reaches the base of the ramp quickly and slowly lowers himself into his rocker. He slowly raises the lantern up to his face and blows.....





As the lights come on, Eric Young is surrounded by Luke Harper and Erik Rowan and Bray raises his arms to his side, taunting Eric from his chair.





Eric darts his gaze around the ring, trying to find a way out but instead dives to the outside right at Bray Wyatt!






Bray and Eric Young stay in the staring match before Bray starts cackling and laughing, Eric mouths "What? What's so funny?!" As Young is trying to question the leader of The Wyatt Family he gets floored by Rowan!!





Bray's cackling has ceased and he barks orders to Rowan to take Young and throw him into ring.





He follows behind his brothers into the ring and he mutters to Harper who sprints and grabs a mic, tossing it to Bray.


{Bray Wyatt}
TIE HIM UP!


Harper and Rowan immediately lean Eric Young back first on the middle rope and tie up his arm using the top rope as Bray Wyatt begins speaking.





{Bray Wyatt}
At Uprising you saw the beginning of the end, the downfall of the man you all thought would end me and the cause of Wyatt! He was touched by Sister Abigail and burned, he walked into my world and was broken, he couldn't HANDLE ME. I am the shepard to you sheep and the wolf has now been downed, and I can continue my crusade of eliminating those who are unworthy of this new world and those who are a disgrace to our people. Those who think that life is all about being whimsical and carefree, those who refuse to accept that every person's life must fulfill a purpose, and to show them that what I say is truth, I will create a purpose for those who insist they have none.....the purpose of example! An example that Jeff Hardy helped start and that I hope will be cemented in the minds of all the anti-Wyatt heathens everywhere. An example that starts....with.....


Bray gets closer towards the helpless Eric Young and starts breathing heavily into the mic and right into Young's face, he does this for a few seconds before taking one step backwards.





{Bray Wyatt}
YOU! YOU DISGUST ME MR. YOUNG. You represent another of this current world's fallacies while Hardy was the embodiment of sin, he was prideful, hooked on his vices and was destined to fall from the start of his crusade. You, Eric, are one of those people who think life is all fun and games, that you don't need to do anything with your time, that you don't have a purpose! But I assure you, if you didn't before, that now you will serve a greater cause....the cause of myself, Harper, Rowan and of course Sister Abigail as we drag all of you into a new world, and as I've said many times before if you are worthy you will hear my call and be lead into a new, better world while the rest of you will burn at the grasp of Sister Abigail. I will use the bodies of the unworthy to climb to the highest point and from the top yell to my people that the time is now! The time for Wyatt is now!



Bray gets a half a step closer to Eric Young but before he can continue Young hurls a wad of spit right at Wyatt! Eric begins laughing but is quickly shut up by Harper and Rowan who deliver a flurry of fists to the temple of Young who goes lifeless again.





{Bray Wyatt}
Disrespect will get you no where, Mr. Young. As a matter of fact it will only draw out this process, it will only turn your end into elongated suffering.....you will join Jeff Hardy at the bottom of the pile of the bodies I've left in my own wake but not before I prove a point to you and to all these people. This point is simpler and less grand in scope than most of what I've preached to you, this point that I am unstoppable! I am the end and there's not a damn thing any of you can do about it! Ask Jeff Hardy, ask Matt Hardy, ask Zack Ryder, and now....ASK ERIC YOUNG!


Bray extends his arms outwards as he did before and taunts Eric Young. He motions with his hand signaling Luke Harper and Erik Rowan to free Eric Young, the Wyatt Family sans Bray Wyatt step out from the ring and Bray himself takes a hold of his target in the Sister Abigail, he suddenly spins and rives him face first into the mat!!





Bray slowly drags himself up to his feet and starts stumbling backwards into the corner, the camera zooms in on his face to reveal a disturbing expression.





The fans pipe down due to being disturbed from the crazy eyes and laughter of Bray Wyatt being featured on the titantron. He turns towards the rams where his "brothers in cause" stand and he raises his arms a third time, this time causing the lights to cut out! The-!

Normal Diva's Match

The Anti-Diva meets a woman that couldn't fit the typical mold for a "diva" any better. But Paige is the new number one contender, will she prove why, or will she lose to what she's so adamantly claimed she isn't.







*The referee calls for the bell, signaling the end of this heated contest, causing the theme of the self proclaimed “Anti-Diva” to play throughout the arena as a wave of cheers rain down into the ring. The referee takes a hold of Paige's arm and raises it high into the air, much to the pleasure of the live audience in attendance. After losing such a close match, Taryn rolls out under the bottom rope and exits out to the apron before making her way up the ramp, as Layla is shown climbing up the ring steps, the Divas Championship hanging proudly over her shoulder, clapping for the victory of her friend and challenger just over a month down the road at XWL's biggest Pay-Per-View of the year, Final Stand.*

*Layla enters the ring as Paige continues to celebrate her win, still riding high on the momentum from her win over her former “Foxy Rival” at last nights Pay-Per-View, in Alicia Fox. Paige's arm becomes free from the referee's grip, falling back down to her side, her attention being grabbed by the presence of her former tag team partner and reigning Divas Champion, Layla. They look at each other for a moment, Layla's clapping coming to a slow end, before a smile graces Layla's face, causing her to take a hold of Paige's arm and raises it into the air, along with her Divas Championship in the other hand.*

*The crowd lets out a roar of approval as both Brits raise their arms high into the air, they may be opponents in just six weeks, but until then, they're still best of friends. With one win a piece going into the biggest match in either Brits career, one has to believe that it's all or nothing when the time comes for them to take part in the rubber match between the duo formally known as the United Queendom. A match that pits former partners against one another, a battle of pride between two proud Brits, a war that neither woman wants to be on the losing end of, all for a chance to be called “Champion” for one and all for a chance to prove that she can make history once again and take back her record for being the longest reigning Divas Champion for the other.*

*The cheers continue to pour into the ring before both their arms are lowered and Layla is shown mouthing something towards Paige, to which Paige replies simply by pointing that the Divas Championship and motioning to her waist. Layla lets out a laugh as Paige looks on with a smirk on her face. After a few more moments, they're joined by Renee Young, who is wielding a microphone in one hand, and politely waits for both women to finish their banter before approaching them.*


[Renee Young]
Ladies and gentlemen, with me now are the two women that will meet in six weeks at the historic Sixth Anniversary of Final Stand, and for what you may ask? The very thing that has eluded Paige, yet defined Layla, The Divas Championship. Paige congratulations on a very hard fought victory tonight, but how are you feeling after securing your place in The Final Stand Divas Championship match last night?

{Paige}
Thank you, Renee, and I couldn't be in a better mood going into this company's biggest Pay-Per-View of the year, Final Stand, and to face my good friend for the Divas Championship, I couldn't think of a better person to stand across the ring than a fellow Brit. And as an added bonus, I finally got rid of a certain “Foxy” thorn at my side when I pinned her in the center of this ring last night. At last years event, I was also lucky enough to fight for the Divas Championship, one thing led to another and Kaitlyn retained the championship.

[Renee Young]
Speaking of which, with Kaitlyn falling victim to an injury because of some unknown woman attacking her in the halls at Uprising, do you feel that you've truly earned the number one contendership, or do you think that when she returns, you'll have to have one more match, to truly know if you would be where you are right now had the circumstances been different?

{Paige}
If I didn't feel that I deserved this, I wouldn't be standing here, ready to walk into the biggest match of my career in just six weeks. If history has shown us anything, it's that Kaitlyn has yet to pin me in this ring, she has yet to make me submit, I've been saying that in the weeks leading up to Uprising, and due to some “unforeseen circumstances” and a last minute replacement, who knows what would have happened last night. Maybe she would have finally put me down for the count, or maybe history would have repeated itself yet again.

[Renee Young]
The history you share together is quite remarkable, stemming all the way back to the night following Final Stand last year. Forming "The United Queendom" a British duo that would go on to have a Slammy Award winning rivalry with The Bella Twins. The team that unceremoniously ended your time together, ironically enough because of the woman you defeated last night, Alicia Fox. With Final Stand on the horizon, do you think we'll see The United Queendom reunite one last time, before you two head into a rubber match that is sure to be unlike any Divas Championship match that has ever taken place at Final Stand?

{Paige}
Anything's possible in this company, and I'd like to think that neither myself or Layla would be against a one night reunion at some point before we both walk into the biggest match in both our careers. Now, should that happen, it won't be a permanent reunion, since unlike half of the “divas” in the locker room, we actually keep our word. It's been over five months since the fateful night that we were forced to disband, so I believe it's been far too long since this company has had it's only two British women compete together in a tag match, but it's not up to me, if that were to happen, it would be thanks to Stephanie McMahon for lifting the ban for one night.

[Renee Young]
Thank you for your time.

*With that being said, Renee takes her leave and exits the ring, leaving the two former allies and future opponents to continue their celebration, as Paige's theme starts back up again, causing a roar of cheers to emit from the live audience in attendance. Almost suddenly, the ring begins to get slowly filled with black roses, causing Paige's expression to change to one that's filled with confusion, while Layla tries to hide her smile, clearing being the one behind this. With Paige still unsure of what's going on, the lights dim and a message appears on the Titantron:*

“The most beautiful view is one I shall share with you,
For you see, it will be me standing over you.

-Layla”

*Paige takes a moment to read the message on the Titantron before quickly turning around and looking at Layla, who's wearing a smile on her face. Paige looks down at the rose filled ring, picking one up from a pile and looking at it, clearly being one up'd. She chuckles to herself for a bit and picks up another, this time, handing it to Layla, who reaches for it without hesitation. The last image shown is both Brits exiting the ring and making their way up the ramp as two backstage hands head towards the ring to clean up the mess.*

R-Truth beat Swagger (I sent him a friend request, and he hasn't been on to accept this. His privacy settings are set to that I'm not able to see when he's online, who his friends are, etc.

*We head backstage to Stephanie McMahon's office as she's watching a copy of XWL's newest DVD highlighting the career of "The Game" Triple H backstage, the reaction from the fans turn sour as Brad Maddox walks up behind Stephanie as he picks up the DVD case.*



[Brad Maddox] You know, I can't wait until XWL releases a Brad Maddox DVD. I need to get talking to the merch guys because I can just see it now "The story of Brad Maddox: Handsome Referee to Handsome Hall of Famer."

*Stephanie sighs and turns around.*

[Stephanie McMahon] Brad, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be at the training facility learning how to be a referee with Earl Hebner!

[Brad Maddox] Ahh, gotta love Earl. All I had to do was give him a signed photo of myself and a 5 dollar gift card to Subway and he called off training for the day so I could come and visit you at BreakDown tonight since I am under contract after all.

[Stephanie McMahon] And I won't hesitate to terminate that contract of yours if you don't show up for referee training next week, I'm serious Brad. You should be thankful we got a referee like Earl to train you, he has more knowledge than any other referee!

[Brad Maddox] Oh yeah, I'm sure he has plenty of stories about being a stooge and Montreal Screwjobs and more! But come on Steph, this is ridiculous, I shouldn't have to be a referee, have you seen my abs? I can't cover that up with an ugly striped shirt!



*Suddenly Brad is cut off as Daniel Bryan walks into Stephanie's office not looking happy about his loss at Uprising.*



[Daniel Bryan] Stephanie, I'm just gonna cut to the chase here. I want a match with Chris Sabin after what he did at Uprising-



[Brad Maddox] Who cares about Chris Sabin? Did you see what I did at Uprising? I defeated the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry-

[Daniel Bryan] And I'll give you the World's Most Broken Arm if you interrupt me like that again.

*Brad just motions that he's going to keep his mouth shut.*

[Daniel Bryan] I knew Chris Sabin was going to pull something like he did and nobody believed me. I saw his true colours before they were revealed and people started making me out to be the bad guy but atleast everyone now see's what the real Chris Sabin is like. And what I'm saying is I want a piece of the real Chris Sabin because there's no way in hell I'm going to let him get away with Uprising. Knocking him out with the knee after the match wasn't enough, I want to make him tap out and I want to do it next week.



[Stephanie McMahon] Look, I'm sorry Daniel but you can't just come in here and demand matches like that. Now a formal request would've been just fine but I don't appreciate you barging into my office like that.

[Brad Maddox] She doesn't appreciate it.

[Stephanie McMahon] Now I'd gladly give you a match against Chris Sabin in the coming weeks but next week just won't work because the majority of matches are already made.

[Brad Maddox] Already made.

[Stephanie McMahon] But I'm also going to have to get Chris Sabin to agree to the match also..

[Brad Maddox] He has to agree.

*Brad nods his head looking at Daniel acting as if he's on the same page as the GM but Stephanie looks back at Brad with a glare as he tugs his collar and leaves the office nervously.*

[Daniel Bryan] Alright.. Next week I'm gonna have a little talk with Chris and if he doesn't want to have a rematch with me then I'm afraid things might get a bit out of hand..

*Daniel walks out of the office with a determined look leaving Stephanie by herself as we fade away to a commercial break.*

Breakdown returns to the face of The Ryback, who is staring into the camera.

{{The Ryback}}
I don’t like AJ Lee. I don’t want to compete with here tonight. I don’t want to compete against my fellow West Side Army Member, my fellow brother, Dean Ambrose. But I haven’t seemed to be getting what I want as of late. No.. Ever since I was forced to join the Heyman Crew I’ve been getting the complete opposite of what I want. I’ve been put through tables, triple powerbombed, and speared more times than I’d like to remember..

The Ryback gives out a long heavy sigh.

{{The Ryback}}
Now I’d like to blame this all on Paul Heyman, but he’s not the reason that I am where I am. He’s not the reason that I’m not Intercontinental Champion right now. I am. I’ve gone soft. I’ve stopped caring about The Ryback, and started caring about The West Side Army, about Amazing Red, about Don West, about Dean Ambrose, about Sara Del Rey. I’ve been caring about Big E Langston, Matt Hardy, JTG, Stone Cold, John Cena, and all of the other men who've decided to stand up to the Heyman Crew and needed saving because of it, just like I have in the past.

The Ryback smiles

{{The Ryback}}
I used to take what I want. I didn’t let anyone get in my way from achieving my goal. Sure, I was a bully, but I got an Intercontinental Title Match, I got recognized, I got noticed. But now? Now I’m just some afterthought. A superstar who had potential but never went anywhere with it…

The Ryback looks up towards the camera

{{The Ryback}}
I’m The Ryback. I’m The Big Guy. The Human Wrecking Ball. And from now on I’m going to get what I want. And you’d have to be STUPID to try and stop me…

The Ryback laughs.

{{The Ryback}}
This doesn’t mean that Paul Heyman won. I still care about the XWL Universe, I still care about doing the right thing. All this means is that I’m more determined, now that I am a part of The West Side Army again, now that I am back home, I’m going to thrive. I’m going to show Paul Heyman what happens when you cross The Big Guy. I’m going to end The Heyman Crew!!... Because Ryback… Rules!!!

And with that The Ryback walks away and go to a quick commercial break… When we return we are brought to ringside where Matt Hardy and JTG are both in the ring.

{{King}}
Ladies and gentleman before the commercial break The Ryback vowed to end the Heyman Crew. Just like Matt Hardy and John Cena did earlier tonight!! Now we’re all set to see Matt Hardy and JTG go one on one live here on Breakdown!!

vs.

The match goes back and forth until..



{{King}}
Oh no! It’s the Heyman Crew!! They were stopped earlier when an unlikely alliance was formed between Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena. Then they were thwarted once again by the combined effort of The Ryback, Matt Hardy, and Big E Langston! But who’s able to stop them now?

The Heyman Crew make their way out to the ring as the crowd boos. JTG sees the Heyman Crew coming and quickly exits the ring as the crowd boos!! Right before The Heyman Crew reach the ring the boos turn to cheers as JTG slides back into the ring, two chairs in his hand!! He tosses one to Matt Hardy and the two prepare themselves for the assault!!

{{King}}
This should be good!

Edge is first to slide in, running right into a chair shot from Hardy, just like at Uprising!! Devitt slides in next and leaps into the air, dropkicking the chair that JTG was holding right into him!! Hardy swings at Devitt but the Prince is able to dodge him, answering back with an Enziguri!! Goldberg slides in now and charges at a recovering JTG!! But JTG is able to side step Goldberg and toss him out of the ring!! Devitt charges at JTG and clotheslines him over the ropes, right near Goldberg. The momentum of the clothesline sends Devitt sprawling out of the ring as well!!!

{{King}}
What a move!!

Edge and Hardy are both on their feet in the middle of the ring, exchanging blows!! Hardy is able to back Edge into a corner and deliver a huge corner clothesline!!! He climbs the ropes, looking to hit an Extreme Leg Drop, but Edge is able to lunge into the ropes, causing Hardy to fall onto the turnbuckle!

{{King}}
Veteran instincts by Edge!!

On the outside of the ring JTG and Devitt are exchanging punches!! JTG throws Devitt against the wall and turns around right into a spear!!!!

{{King}}
What a spear!!! JTG won’t be getting up anytime soon!!

Back in the ring Hardy and Edge are exchanging punches on the top rope!! Hardy is able to shove Edge down to the mat and dives, looking to hit an Extreme Leg Drop but instead gets caught by a Spear from Goldberg mid air!!

{{King}}
Did that just happen!!!

Devitt throws a table into the ring as Edge gets to his feet. The Rated R Superstar sets up the table as Devitt slides into the ring. Edge and Devitt lift Hardy high up into the air and onto Goldberg’s shoulders before hitting the Triple Powerbomb through the table!!!

{{Edge}}
You really thought that challenging me would be a good idea? You thought that one lucky win would deter me? Ask JTG what happened after he got one lucky win and thought that he would be able to challenge me again. He got put through a table. Sound familiar? Because when you’re challenging me, you’re challenging The Heyman Crew. And when you’re challenging The Heyman Crew, well, this is what happens. You end up broken… Next week you want to face me in a tables match? A No DQ match? Well that’s fine by me. But unlike you... I’m not coming alone… See you next week buddy.

{{King}}
It's official!! Edge vs. Matt Hardy next week in a tables match!! Anything can happen!!

{{Cole}}
No. Only one thing will be happening. Matt Hardy will be put through a table. Edge will walk out the victor. And The Heyman Crew will show Matt Hardy the definition of domination!!

Edge drops the mic on Hardy as we go to a commercial break.

Breakdown returns from commercials and we see Michael Cole backstage microphone in hand

Michael Cole
Hello folks and welcome back to Breakdown. What a night we’ve had already and what great match up’s we’ve got tonight. So lets stay tuned to the action to find ou…

Before Cole can finish his sentence a familiar face walks into the scene. As the camera closes in it’s none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin. Bandage on his head Austin looks at Cole who doesn’t say anything. Austin laughs and speaks

{Steve Austin}
Aren’t you gonna finish what you’re saying son?

Michael Cole
Well Steve I was gonna say….

{Steve Austin}
What?!

Michael Cole
That if they tune in

{Steve Austin}
What?!

Michael Cole
That they can see more

{Steve Austin}
What?!

Cole stops talking for a moment and just stands silent not saying a word

Austin lightly laughs before speaking again

{Steve Austin}
Oh calm down son, you look like you’re about to pop a blood vessle. Now go on and finish what you were saying. I can tell it’s eating away at ya!

Michael Cole
Steve I was just going to tell them to be sure to look forward to all of what’s yet to come tonight.

{Steve Austin}
So let me get this straight. You, Michael Cole, are actually telling these people about things to look forward to tonight is that right? Well, son, I gotta ask who the hell are you and what have you done with Michael Cole? As long as I’ve know that some bitch not once has he ever told these people things they can look forward to. So let ole Stone Cold see if I can help ya out here, that alright? Why don’t  you ask what I’m looking forward to tonight?

Michael hesitantly clears his throat and speaks

Michael Cole
Well.. Steve.. What are you looking forward to tonight?

Austin laughs for a moment and pauses before speaking

{Steve Austin}
Son, it’s real simple, tonight there’s only three things I’m looking forward to.

Austin then begins to put up a finger each time he names off the three items

{Steve Austin}
Walking out to that ring

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Beating the high hell out of Bobby Roode

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Then walking back into my lockeroom and grabbing me a beer.

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Whiskey

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
A shot of jack

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Some alcohol.

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Cause you see Michael Bobby and I actually have some things in common. Or at least we used to. We both got a big mouth.

{Steve Austin}
We love to kick ass

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Then we love to party and throw back a beer.


Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
Then another

Crowd
What?!

{Steve Austin}
And another. Up until we don’t know where in the sam hill we are anymore. Ya see son, if there’s one thing I love to do more than drink, it’s fight and Bobby, son, you’re in for a hell of a fight and that’s all I got to say about that!

Michael lightly laughs and suddenly stop and just stands still for a few minutes. Austin looks at him puzzled and begins to speak

{Steve Austin}
What’s the matter son. Cat got your tongue again? You’re sitting there with your microphone all close to you and you’re not saying a damn thing. So is there one more thing you’d like to ask me or are you done wasting my time?

Michael Cole
I’d like to take this time to bring up what happened at Uprising? You were scheduled to face off in a match against Prince Devitt, but as we all saw, things didn’t go according to plan and you ended up the receiving end of an attack by The Heyman Crew. With that in mind we had a returning John Cena earlier and he was about to fall victim to an attack by that same crew. Steve, I gotta know, why did you come out to his aid and what’s your mind been going through in all this?

Austin paces for a few minutes and then pauses and looks dead in Michael’s eyes before speaking

{Steve Austin}
So what you’re saying is you wanna know what happened at Uprising. As if I had a clue as to why Devitt decided to not show up and instead send out Heyman and the rest of The Crew? More importantly you want to know WHY I saved John Cena? Well, tell me this Michael, if you had the holy-hell beaten out of you and then you were told if you knew what’s good for you you’d lay down. Wouldn’t you want to do something about that? Especially if they’re fixing to do the same thing to someone else who, like Stone Cold, had nothing to do with what they want?

{Steve Austin}
It’s quite simple son. “Prince” Devitt walks around here with a big ole stick up his ass. He acts like he’s the greatest thing on the planet and he dares tell’s Stone Cold Steve Austin to know his place? EH EH! That ain’t gonna happen. Now I don’t care who you are. Or what you think you’re trying to accomplish. Messing with a rattlesnake was the last thing you should’ve ever done son. He talks about how ole Stone Cold should pack up and leave? Well how about I leave this here interview and go find the little jackass and show him how an unexpected beat down feels!

Cole slowly inches away from Austin who laughs lightly before speaking again

{Steve Austin}
As far as why I went out to that ring and saved John Cena? First things first. I’m Stone Cold Steve Austin. I do what I want. When I want. I don’t give a damn if Paul Heyman in his little suit and tie tries to threaten me. That don’t mean a damn thing to me son. What does matter to me however. Is when people are throwing their weight around like they run the place. We can’t have people feeling like they can’t do something around here. They gotta stand up and fight.

{Steve Austin}
Devitt and his pals tried to take a fight to Cena, an injured man, and I’ll be damned if I let them waltz right on into that ring and make it an unfair fight. So I simply leveled the playing field Michael. Devitt says he’s a prince? Well I’m sure he’s got some kind of crown and Septre right? How about I knock that crown off his head and shove his little Septre where the son don’t shine. John’s a great kid and I believe people like him are the future of this business. So I ain’t about to let someone go into a fight that’s not fair. So I got John’s back and I know he’s got mine. I did it to send a message to Paul and his little crew.  D. T. A. Because you never know if they’ll stick completely with you.

Michael goes to speak again when the crowd begins to cheer as we see someone walk into view. The camera pans outward to see John Cena. He smiles into the camera and stares at Austin who exchanges looks with him before John speaks

John Cena
Listen, Austin, I just wanted to personally thank you for what you did earlier tonight...

Before Cena can say anything else, he feels someone tap him on the shoulder and turns around to come face to face with the General Manager.

Stephanie McMahon
Hello John.

John Cena
Stephanie... If you're here about what I did earlier tonight, I'm sorry, but you left me no choice.

Stephanie McMahon
Don't be silly John, that's not why I'm here.

Stephanie smiles at Cena.

Stephanie McMahon
I'm here to remind you that injured or not, you're signed to an XWL Contract, and you will be competing tonight. But I'm not a bad person, so I'll give you a match with one of Paul Heyman's clients.

Cena smiles back at Stephanie, happy with her announcement.[/b[

[b]Stephanie McMahon
That is, you'll be facing the concussed Brock Lesnar!

Cena's smile disappears and he's left feeling confused.

Stephanie McMahon
Let this be a lesson, not only to you and Brock, John, but also to the rest of the XWL superstars. Don't cross the boss.

Stephanie smirks before walking off in the opposite direction leaving Cena lost for words, with Stone Cold staring on as the feed cuts to black.

Breakdown returns to Rene Young alongside Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman

{{Rene Young}}
Ladies and Gen-



{{Paul Heyman}}
No, no, no Rene. You hold that mic up and let me do the talking. I saw how you conducted your interview with CM Punk, and I’m not going to let that happen twice. Okay?

Rene solemnly nods her head as she keeps the mic on Heyman, who looks deep into the camera.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Stephanie McMahon. No matter what odds you put up against us, no matter who you throw our way, The Heyman Crew always comes out on top! We proved that at Uprising, we proved that the Breakdown before Uprising, and we’re going to keep on proving it in the future. You thought that you had me beat when you banned my whole crew from ringside for my match against “The Human Wrecking Ball”, yet I pinned The Ryback. You thought that you had us backed up against the wall when you forced Brock Lesnar to compete two weeks ago, but The XWL’s Most Dangerous Fighter proved what happens when you back a beast into a corner, F-5ing Robbie E, Kenny King, Stone Cold, and your dear friend Doctor whatshisname.

Heyman smiles to himself as he continues.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Now I’m not saying that what you are doing is unfair. I’m not complaining. If anything I’m challenging you Stephanie. Because I firmly believe that there isn’t anything that you or anyone else in the back can throw at The Heyman Crew that we can’t “Rise Above”. We aren’t the only ones who have fallen victim to your wrath, although we certainly have felt it. But no, we are untouchable, immovable, unbeatable. Amazing Red was fired. Kenny King and Seth Rollins were denied the title matches that they rightly deserved. And now John Cena is set to face Brock Lesnar. Those men are victims Stephanie, but not us.

Heyman laughs

{{Paul Heyman}}
You thought that forcing Brock to compete tonight would upset us didn't you Stephanie? Well, the jokes on you! Brock was already here tonight, he wanted to make sure that Amazing Red stayed gone… for good, so that he can move onto more deserving opponents. But now he has to face John Cena? More like, now he gets the opportunity to end the career of your “golden boy”. After tonight, once Brock Lesnar finishes the job that The Heyman Crew and breaks John Cena’s arm, we will seal the deal. No longer will you have John Cena to fall back on when Ted DiBiase turns his back on you, or when Stone Cold’s lifestyle finally catches up to that old body of his, or how about when The Rock goes off to shoot another movie? Two of those three scenarios have already happened, and once Prince Devitt is done running circles around Stone Cold Steve Austin I’m sure that the Texas Rattlesnake will realize that it’s finally time for him to hang up his boots. And if he doesn't make that decision on his own the The Heyman Crew will force him to…

The crowd boos as Heyman goes on.



{{Paul Heyman}}
But until then Stephanie still has Stone Cold, and she still has John Cena. And the fans still love them. They love their catch phrases, they love their merchandise, they love the thought of having Stone Cold and John Cena on top. Brock Lesnar deserves to be on top. No one, not John Cena, not Stone Cold, nobody… Can defeat Brockkkkk Lesnarrr in a fight!

{{Brock Lesnar}}
Nobody!! Especially John Cena.



{{Paul Heyman}}
Brock Lesnar is the best in this company, but thanks to Cena and Austin, he’s not at the top. Well, after tonight that will all change, and you’ll be able to check another target off of Brock Lesnar’s list.

Heyman takes a deep breath.

{{Paul Heyman}}
I love discussing Brock Lesnar with you Rene, but sometimes you just have to stop talking and watch what he is capable of inside of that ring, because frankly, it speaks for itself.



{{Paul Heyman}}
And now if you’ll excuse us, it’s time for John Cena to find that out first hand!!

The camera cuts to the ring where the thousands in attendance are all on their feet, booing the arrival of Brock Lesnar.

{{Cole}}
Ladies and gentleman if you’re just tuning in you’re in luck! Brock Lesnar, the former UFC World Heavyweight Champion, is about to take on John Cena!!!

{{King}}
Both competitors are suffering from minor injuries.

{{JR}}
That’s right John Cena is still suffering from his attack by The Heyman Crew, which forced him out of the number one contenders match for the United States Title. And Brock Lesnar still has a minor concussion from Amazing Red’s elbow spree at X-Treme X-Mas!! Not to mention whatever further injury Lesnar obtained during his Ultimate X Match with Amazing Red last night!!



The crowd goes wild as Cena enters, looking at the camera and shouting “I’m back!”, before taking his sling off and throwing it to the side!!

{{King}}
Here he is! John Cena!! And, just like Amazing Red, it looks like he’s not going to let his injured arm stop him from taking on Lesnar tonight!

{{Cole}}
Yeah and that worked well for Red…

{{JR}}
Paul Heyman said that Brock Lesnar should be at the top of this company instead of the likes of John Cena or Stone Cold. What do you think about that Cole?

Cena salutes, before charging down the ring!!

{{Cole}}
What do I think? Paul Heyman is one hundred and ten percent right! Brock Lesnar is an Animal!! He can’t be stopped! Didn’t you see what he did last Breakdown!! He’s a former UFC Champion for crying out loud!! John Cena is going to see firsthand the difference between being a top superstar in this company and being an ass kicker!

Lesnar is seen talking to Heyman on the outside as Cena slides into the ring.

{{JR}}
Well John Cena might have suffered his injuries by the hands of Goldberg, Edge, and Prince Devitt. But I’m sure that he’s willing to take it out on Brock Lesnar tonight!!

Cena turns around in order to begin to run the ropes in his usual fashion, looking to throw his hat out to the crowd. But to his surprise he turns back around and runs right into Lesnar!!!

{{JR}}
Oh come on!!

Lesnar lifts Cena high up onto his shoulders!!



{{JR}}
No! Not like this!!



The crowd lets out a loud boo as Lesnar shouts “You can’t beat me”

{{King}}
Yes!!

The crowd goes wild as Cena is able to wiggle free, dropping down behind Lesnar!!! The crowd laughs along with Cena, who is clearly shaken up from the sudden attack. Cena begins to clap from a safe distance, making fun of Lesnar almost getting a hold of him. Brock points at his opponent and shouts “Do you know who you’re dealing with?!?”



{{King}}
It looks like Brock isn’t taking too kindly to Cena making a mockery of almost getting F-5ed!

{{Cole}}
John Cena is used to being one of the top dogs, he’s used to having no one to fear. This is new for him, he might make light of the situation now, but that will soon change.

Lesnar spits towards Cena as the bell rings, signaling for the match to start. Cena’s smirk from before is quickly wiped from his face as he is taken down by Lesanr!!



The former UFC Champion throws his shirt off before ripping Cena’s shirt off and throws it out of the ring. He then begins hammering down with lethal ground and pound punches!!



Lesnar continues the assault until the ref counts to four. He finally lets go, and quickly targets Cena’s arm, dropping his knee down hard on the injured bicep!! Lesnar backs up, shouting to the crowd and kicking Cena’s hat out of the ring, before picking Cena up and driving his knee into his opponent’s gut multiple times!! He then powers Cena into the corner, hitting multiple shoulder blocks before grabbing his opponent.



And simply throwing him out of the ring like yesterday’s news!! The former UFC Champion demands that the ref begin to count Cena out….1……2……3…. Lesnar looks down at Cena, who is writhing in pain, the beat then shouts “I’M BROCK LESNAR! YOU DON’T LAUGH AT BROCK LESNAR!!”……..4…..5……6 Heyman is on the apron now, talking with Brock……..7….8……9….. The crowd goes wild as Cena is on the apron now



{{King}}
Is he… Is Cena laughing???!

The crowd cheers as Cena steps into the ring right before the 10 count, still laughing at Brock, proving to be tougher than the former UFC Champion gave him credit for.

{{Cole}}
Cena’s going to regret doing that!

Heyman can be seen begging towards Lesnar from the outside, shouting “DON’T DO IT BROCK, HE DOESN’T KNOW BETTER! HE DOESN’T KNOW!” But Brock clearly ignores Heyman, charging at Cena, taking him to the ground once again!!



The crowd gasps as Lesnar delivers an array of elbows and punches that would make a lesser man burst into tears and flea the ring. But Cena continues to fight, or at least tries to against the Former UFC Champion. Lesnar continues the assault until Cena is unable to lift his arms to defend himself. The Beast then kicks Cena out of the ring and demand that the ref count once more…1…..2….3….4….5…..6….7….8... The crowd goes wild as Cena attempts to crawl back into the ring!!



Lesnar has seen enough! He exits the ring and delivers a knee to the side of Cena’s temple!! He then irish whips Cena back into the ring!! Heyman is shown shouting at Brock and making a snapping signal with his hands, to which Brock smiles and nods to.

{{Cole}}
Here we go! It’s time for Brock to finish this with the Kimura Lock! And finish Cena for good!!

Lesnar enters the ring, looking to apply the Kimura Lock. To his surprise Cena is back on his feet, blood dripping from his face.



{{King}}
Nothing can keep Cena down and out!!

Brock smiles and shakes his head, not understanding why Cena won’t stop fighting a battle that he clearly can’t win. He points to the stage and shouts at Cena “Why don’t you just leave while you can still walk?” Cena shakes his head no and spits blood towards the former UFC Champion. Brock raises his eyebrows, shrugs, and shouts “Well I wasn’t going to let you anyways!!” before charging at Cena!!

{{Cole}}
Why won’t Cena just stay down! He’s in the ring with a former UFC World Heavyweight Champion!!

Brock swings with a huge right hook, but Cena is able to duck it, passing by Lesnar. Cena charges at the ropes, rebounding, then hitting Lesnar with a shoulder block!! The crowd cheers as Cena runs the ropes again, hitting another shoulder block!!

{{King}}
It looks like Cena is gaining momentum!!

Lesnar quickly gets back up and angrily swings at his opponent, but Cena is able to duck the punch and scoop Lesnar up, hitting him with a side slam to the crowd’s delight!!

{{King}}
You know what happens next!!

Cena raises his hand high in the air as the crowd goes wild. He leans down and does the “You Can’t See Me” taunt as the crowd chants along. He then runs the ropes, brushes some blood off of his shoulder, then hits the Five Knuckle Shuffle!!

{{King}}
He hit it!!

Lesnar slowly gets to his feet, holding his forehead in pain. Lesnar throws a wild punch at Cena, refusing to go down easy!! The crowd cheers as Cena dodges the punch and lifts Lesnar high up onto his shoulders!



{{King}}
This one’s about to be over!!

The crowd’s cheers quickly turn to boos as a man slithers into the ring..

{{King}}
Is that…



The distraction proves to be enough for Lesnar to elbow Cena’s injured arm and slide down unscathed!! Cena grabs his arm in pain and stumbles right into an RKO!!



{{King}}
No!!! Cena had that match won!!

{{Cole}}
Yeah right, Brock would have gotten out of that without Orton’s help!! Now thanks to Randy, Cena won by DQ!! I’m sure that Brock won’t be too happy about that!!

{{King}}
That’s for sure! Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar are two of the most dangerous men in the this business. And now John Cena has them both standing over him!! This doesn’t look good!

Lesnar looks outraged as Cena is announced the winner by DQ!! He gets right in Orton’s face, but The Viper refuses to back down. The two begin to exchange words until Lesnar lunges at Orton, causing The Viper to flinch and stumble backwards. Lesnar laughs as Orton cracks his neck angrily.

{{Cole}}
Even Randy Orton knows what Brock Lesnar is capable of.

{{King}}
Well if there’s one thing that Randy Orton hates, it’s being embarrassed, especially in the ring! Lesnar might be learning a thing or two from Heyman about mind games!! It’s no secret that Orton has had his problems with anger in the past, and all it takes is one false move to end up broken by Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar glares at Orton for another moment before turning back towards Cena, grabbing him and looking to put him in the Kimura Lock! But Orton shoves Lesnar off and backs into the corner, looking to punt Cena!!

{{King}}
Where’s Stone Cold when you need him!!

Lesnar stands in between Orton and Cena. He points to The Viper and says loud enough for the camera to hear “You put your hands on me like that again and it will be the last thing you do.” Heyman quickly enters the ring, getting in between Orton and Lesnar. Paul begins to plead with Brock, holding him back as the beast argues with The Viper!! The argument lasts a few more moments until Brock finally lets Heyman pull him out of the ring. Orton looks towards the center of the ring where Cena once was, but is surprised when he realizes that John was able to crawl his way out of the ring and is making his way over the barricade where the fans are cheering and helping him make his escape!!

{{King}}
That’s what happens when two predators argue, the prey gets away!!

Cena is up in the crowd, away from harm’s way, but still a bloody mess. He does the “You Can’t See Me Taunt” to Orton before raising his hands in the air in his signature taunt as the crowd goes wild!! Cena then disappears though the crowd.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
Another Breakdown match for Brock Lesnar, and yet another DQ ending…

Brock, Paul, Orton, and the thousands in attendance look up to the tron, where the Breakdown GM is smiling back at them.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
You really think it’s that easy, don’t you Paul? You really think that I’m going to just roll over and give up? You might be Paul Heyman, but I’m a McMahon. I never give up. That’s why next week I’m setting up a match that will be remembered for years to come. Brock, you might think that you’re above Breakdown, but you’re not above The McMahon’s. That’s why next week you’re going to be competing against.. Randy Orton!!

The crowd goes wild at the announcement as Lesnar and Orton protest the decision.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
Two of the most dangerous men.. No. The two most dangerous men in the XWL are scared to compete?

Both Orton and Lesnar take the bait, pointing at Stephanie and shouting about how they’re not scared of anything.

{{Stephanie McMahon}}
Well than, it’s settled. Good luck you two! And remember, don’t cross the boss!

And with that Stephanie disappears from the tron.

{{King}}
You hear that JR!! Orton and Lesnar! The Viper and The Beast!! The Punk and The Kimura!! Two men are going to walk into that match, they will fight for their very lives, but only one will walk out!!

Orton and Lesnar glare at one another as we go to a commercial break.

Breakdown cuts backstage to see a clearly angered AJ Lee pacing back and forth talking to herself, the anger is clear to see

[Interviewer]
AJ! Can I just get your thoughts on what happened at Uprising?



[AJ Lee]
My thoughts?! What do you think my thoughts are? Sara never planned on wrestling me, she never planned on trying to prove me wrong..she just planned on trying to hurt me..but it didn't work! I'm still standing here right now... Sara always planned on getting herself disqualified like that...and do yo know why? Because she knows I'm a threat, she knows I would've beat her. She was worried that she was going to lose, she was worried that her claim as a dominant diva would be proven wrong.. Where as I still proved I am the best diva in this company. Incase you didn't realise... I won that match at Uprising, not Sara Del Rey...but ME! I told Sara, I told Don West.... I even told Stephanie McMahon that I would win, and that's exactly what I did.


[AJ Lee]
What does Sara think she proved? The only thing she proved is she's a coward that took the easy way out, she proved that she doesn't deserve and ofcourse...she proved that she isn't even on my level. But I'm not going to let her get away with what she did..she set out to try hurt me, she set out to try take away my career... SHE WON'T GET AWAY WITH IT! She doesn't know who she's messing with.... I will get my revenge on Sara and Don....and I know exactly how to do it...


[Interviewer]
Would you elaborate on that?

AJ just takes a moment looking down at the floor before she looks up with a huge smile on her face



but AJ doesn't answer the question, she just stands smiling before skipping away into the distance leaving everybody wondering what exactly does she have planned

Normal Match



After 15 Minutes of very intense and back and forth action


*John Morrison goes for his signature Flying Kick but Seth Rollins dodges and keeps running, JoMo meanwhile lands on the foot he tried to knock out Seth with and tweaks his knee, this then gives Seth the perfect opportunity. He bounces off the same rope that JoMo bounced off of and hits a devastating Blackout!*



1.............!



2............!




3!

[Jim Ross]
Seth has picked up a huge win and has redeemed himself from his losses to Morrison from last year!

[Cole]
Oh please JR, Morrison is still 2-1 on Seth when it counts, and John might have hurt his knee badly right there so Seth's win shouldn't have even counted!

[King]
Cole, aren't superstars always getting hurt in that ring? And yes, this match wasn't about championships, but it's Final Stand season and with both superstars being at the crossroads of their career this is a huge win for Seth when it comes to being considered for Money In The Bank.

*Morrison has rolled out of the ring holding his head with a look of disgust, as he walks up the ramp while Seth has beeon the top rope moshing, and doing the Discount Double Check when he looked at Morrison.*

*Seth then gets off the turnbuckle and then goes over and grabs a mic from a ring worker.*

[Seth Rollins]
Better luck next time John. You know I have to say that was a great match and it goes to show you what skill, luck and may I say karma, have to do when it comes to winning matches. I mean, just look what happened last night. Two men with a huge midlife crisis try to take me down when they both knew, or should know by now that this is a new Seth Rollins.

[Seth Rollins]
What I mean is, I'm still goiing to be the enrgetic, high flying, and technical badass that I've always been. But this time Im taking the road less traveled. You people may get the short end of the stick because some guys in this company don't know how to handle pressure, but don't think just because you're former "hero" turned his back on you, that means that everyone in this company is an asshole.

[Seth Rollins]
Aesthetically speaking, I'm not the most approachable guy and I might be a little rough around the edges but that's just what makes me being me. I don't understand why Ted Dibiase snapped last night, maybe he doesn't like Alberto Del Rio, but turning his back on you guys? Indefensible. You people lead me out of the darkness, and I know Ted has Money In The Bank and will probably use it against Dean, but ever since they buddied it up on Christmas I could tell something bad was bound to happen. Dean is the closest thing on Earth to Satan himself and let's just hope that Ted will see the error of his ways, and if he doesn't, I'll gladly be the one to make him see the light through a Blackout!

*The crowd pops louder than they have in a while and Seth smiles along with them. He then continues to speak*

[Seth Rollins]
Speaking of people I want to Blackout, I'm not satisfied with a roll-up and I want to see if the walking Viagra ad has a pair and will try and shut me up right now. C'mon Ka-



*Seth is interrupted by the theme he wanted to hear anyways, however he doesn't see the sight he envisioned. Christopher Daniels walks out sipping a martini, Seth then yells at Daniels "Wheres Kaz?" and just then we hear a loud SMACK!*

[JR]
BAH GAWD! SETH HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT!

*We then see what JR is talking about as we see Seth being walloped with multiple chairshots, the crowd is booing louder than before and this brings the biggest of  smiles to Daniels who struts down the ramp arrogantly. He then does this for a few moments before stopping at the ring apron and dousing Rollins in the face wiht his martini!*

[King]
Now that's just uncalled for. Do these two have any couth?

[Cole]
HA! There's some karma for ya Seth!

*Daniels then enters the ring and him and Kaz share a devilish grin as Seth is laid out at the hands of Bad Influence. The group then does their signature pose as Breakdown heads to its next segment.*

Cody and Kaz had a great match

------------------------------

As Breakdown continues Stephanie McMahon is stood in her office talking on her cellphone to an unknown person as she discusses the upcoming event Final Stand VI

Stephanie McMahon: Final Stand VI is well and truly taking shape and as it gets closer week by week it's only going to get bigger. Just look at how far XWL has come since we took over, it's like a brand new company and we're only just getting started. This is once again the place to be and it's because of us.

As the conversation continues the door to Stephanie's office opens as Madison Eagles storms into her office waiting for Stephnaie to finish with her call before talking to her as Stephanie signals to her that she'll just be a moment

Stephanie McMahon: Sorry, someone just walked in, I'll have to call you back.

Stephanie hangs up the phone as she turns to Madison and begins to address her

Stephanie McMahon: Madison, to what do I owe the pleasure?

Madison Eagles: Clearly you weren't watching last week, Stephanie or else you'd know exactly why I'm here, I want Trish Stratus tonight.

Stephanie McMahon: As a matter of facts I did see what happened to you last week at Uprising, but I'm afraid I can't make that happen for you.

Madison Eagles: Stephanie, I don't think you don't understand I'm not asking, give me the match or not I will get my hands on Trish tonight.

Stephanie McMahon: I don't think you're in the position to make demands, Madison, need I remind you who I am. I get it, you're angry, but this is not the time nor the place for this discussion, you'll get your match soon enough, but tonight is not a good time for this.

Madison Eagles: When IS a good time, Steph? Do you expect me to just sit around and do nothing?

Stephanie McMahon: That's exactly what I expect you to do.

When Stephnaie again reaffirms her stance on the matter, Madison is visibly getting more and more frustrated as she snaps at Stephanie

Madison Eagles: We both know that's not going to happen. I trusted her, and she stabbed me in the back, and you think I'm not going to do anything about it? You can't tell me if you were in my position that you wouldn't want to same thing I do.

Stephanie McMahon: That's neither here or there, besides Madison let's not pretend that you wouldn't of done the same thing to Trish if you had the chance, I've watched you and everybody else now for months and I have a pretty good feeling that I know what you're all about. And I'm not going to tell you again, not tonight. Now don't do anything you'll regret.

When Stephanie finishes speaking, there's a brief pause as Madison doesn't respond to her still feeling slighted by the General Manager's ruling

Stephanie McMahon: Now there is one thing that I wanted to discuss with you, Madison and I KNOW it's something you'll be very interested in. As you know the next pay-per-view event is Final Stand VI, our biggest event of the entire year, and as always we will crown a brand new Miss Money in the Bank which means the winner of that Briefcase will be able to cash in for a shot at the Diva's championship at any time until Final Stand VII, something you know better than most since you actually won the match last year, and successfully cashed in to become Diva's champion at last years Supremacy event.

Madison Eagles: I remember that, what's your point Stephanie?

Stephanie McMahon: My point Miss Eagles is that, as of tonight you are officially going to be a participant in that 2014 Miss Money in the Bank ladder match. So tell me Madison, will lightning strike twice? Or was Trish Stratus right earlier when she called you a whiny little girl who's failing at emulating everything she's done.

With that said, it seemingly pushing Madison over the edge as she goes to storm out of the room before Stephanie calls her back

Stephanie McMahon: Madison, hand over the fork.

Eagles pauses for a moment as she considers the consequences of her next action

Madison Eagles: No.

McMahon stares at Madison as she too starts getting frustrated with this tirade

Stephanie McMahon: Don't make me ask you again Madison.

Madison storms off as Stephanie shakes her head as she throws Madison's fork onto the sofa before the cameras fade out to end the segment

Normal Match

Cody Rhodes has always been a "Bad Influence" during his time in XWL, and tonight he'll face a man that prides himself on being just that.

*As the bell rings, rather than circling each other and locking up like most other matches, Cody Rhodes and Kazarian decide to do what they do best; run their mouths. Cody goes up to Kaz and smiles, pointing out his glowing white teeth before doing the same to Kaz’s lack of hair. Cody laughs to himself, but Kaz rolls his eyes before flexing his muscles at Cody with a smirk on his face. Cody doesn’t seem too impressed with Kaz, as he simply shakes his head and waves him off. Kaz dares Cody to make the first move, so he slaps him straight across the face! This elicits another laugh out of “The Dashingly Insane One”, but it also prompts Kaz to nail him with a punch straight to the jaw! Cody takes a few steps back, stumbling into the corner as he holds his jaw in shock. After a few moments, he regroups and charges, getting into a fist fight with Kaz. The two trade shots back and forth until Kaz gets the upperhand with about four punches in a row. He grabs Cody and whips him off the ropes, bending over only for Cody to come back and hit him with a punch, shades of his brother Goldust.*

*Kaz is now the one stumbling backwards, holding as jaw as Cody hops right back up onto his feet. Cody hits the ropes, taking down the stunned Kaz with a running bulldog. With Kaz on the ground,  Cody wastes no time and delivers a sharp kick straight to the gut, putting him on his back. Cody kneels over him and picks his head up, drilling a few more punches straight into his skull. He violently slams his head back into the ground before getting up and raising his fist in the air to the ire of the crowd. Kaz starts to get up to his feet as Cody goes to grab him again, only to get caught by an enzuigiri out of nowhere! Cody is in a daze as Kaz takes him, tossing him back first into the corner. He bounces off the turnbuckles before Kaz takes a few steps back, charges, and nails him with a huge dropkick! Cody flops to the mat before rolling out to the apron, allowing Kaz to knock him out of the ring with a baseball slide! Kaz leaps over the top rope, landing on the apron as he looks for a springboard, but Cody gets back up and pulls his leg, sending him crashing to the floor.*

*Kaz is out on the floor as Cody leans himself against the apron, catching his breath before going back on offense. He yanks Kaz up off the ground, slamming his head into the apron before Irish whipping him back first straight into the barricade. Kaz sinks down to the ground, allowing Cody to charge at him and deliver a running knee straight into the side of his head! Kaz’s head bounces into the barricade as well, sending him down even further onto the floor. Cody picks him up again, holding up against the barricade by his throat before slapping him in the face. He grabs him by the arm, looking to whip him into the steel ringpost. Kaz is able to stand his ground, refusing to budge until he turns the move around himself, running past Cody and whipping him into the ringpost instead! Cody hits the ringpost face first and flies off of it, landing by the announce table as Kaz slides into the ring. Kaz waits for Cody to get back up before springboarding over the top rope, connecting with crossbody to the outside!*

*Both competitors are down and out by the announce table, as Kaz is pulling out all the stops to knock off the former World Heavyweight Champion in the champion’s return match. He is the first one able to pull himself up, kicking Cody in the gut once for good measure before finally picking him up. He drives his skull into the announce table before tossing him back into the ring. As Kaz takes his sweet time getting back into the ring by taunting the crowd, Cody takes the opportunity to regroup, slowly getting back up to his feet. When Kaz finally attempts to get back in and goes through the ropes, Cody catches him and nails the Silver Spoon DDY! Kaz is laid out in the center of the ring as Cody ascends to the top, connecting with a huge moonsault! Cody seems to be in the driver’s seat now, letting out a roar and raising his fist in the air. He’s calling for the Cross Rhodes, stalking Kaz as he waits for him to get up. Once he finally does, Cody nails him with the Cross Rhodes!*

No!

*Cody is in absolute shock, Kaz barely able to get his shoulder up mere seconds away from the count of three. Cody pulls out some hair before getting back up and confronting the referee, insisting that it was in fact a three count. The official shakes his head no, reassuring him it was only a two count. Cody is livid, pushing the ref aside as he stalks Kaz some more. He goes off the ropes once Kaz gets up, but he misses the Beautiful Disaster, and Kaz rolls him up! Cody manages to shove him off at two, then clobbering him in the back of the head before he has a chance to get up. Cody grabs Kaz by his trunks, driving him shoulder first into the ringpost! Kaz slowly pulls himself out, before turning around into the Beautiful Disaster! Kaz seems to be out cold, but that’s not enough for Cody. After kicking out of the Cross Rhodes and embarrassing him, Cody wants to maim him. He climbs back up to the top, looking for a diving knee drop, but Kaz rolls out of the way! Cody is able to roll through the miss, but Kaz picks him up and hits the Fade to Black out of nowhere! He covers!*

Kaz gets the huge upset win over the former World Heavyweight Champion!

KTFO Match

Roddy Piper has finally arrived in XWL as one of it's newest acquisitions, and tonight he'll be met with his first challenge, but it'll be under his terms. Will Bad Influence's own show Roddy he's in over his head, or will Piper show Daniels a thing or two.

*At the sound of the bell, Piper wants to get straight into the fight, but Daniels immediately puts himself in between the ropes.  Daniels puts his hands up, insisting that he wants to ask Piper a question. Piper entertains him, so Daniels asks him who the best wrestler in the world is. Piper starts to say it’s himself, but Daniels changes the question and asks him who the worst wrestler in the world is! Daniels laughs to himself, amused at his own petty joke, unaware that he just ticked Piper off severely. Piper charges at him, docking him with a huge right that sends him crashing to the floor! Daniels lands hard on his back as Piper drops the outside, tossing him straight into the steel steps! Piper marches over to him, looking to inflict more damage, but Daniels quickly gets up and is already running away from Piper. The chase lasts for a few seconds before Daniels slips into the ring, cutting Piper off when he tries to get back in himself.*

*Piper is down as Daniels taunts him, putting his hand out in the air and gyrating. He laughs again, waiting for Piper to move his head before striking it back down with a huge kick to the skull! Piper holds his head, trying to push himself up off the ground as Daniels hits the ropes, putting him down once more with a running neckbreaker. Piper’s neck is driven into the mat viciously, before rolling towards the ropes so that only his head is out on the apron. Daniels approaches him and grabs the ropes, before leaping over himself and hitting Piper with a huge legdrop! Piper doesn’t seem to move after the huge maneuver, and Daniels orders the referee to check on him from outside the ring. The ref seems to be too slow for Daniels, as he continues to yell at him despite the fact he was practically over to Piper already. He checks over him, and after a few seconds Piper responds, continuing the match.*

*Piper slowly climbs up to his feet in the ring as Daniels slides back in, looking for another kick to the skull. Piper dodges it, before grabbing the leg and hitting Daniels with the inverted atomic drop! Daniels practically flies off of his leg before Piper hits the ropes, taking him down with the high knee! Daniels drops down to the mat as Piper is looking to end it, yanking him off of the mat and going for the Sleeper Hold! Right before he locks it in, however, Daniels nails him with a low blow! Piper drops to his knees, before he gets creamed by an enzuigiri! Daniels seems to be gaining his confidence back, as he is clearly in control of the match up once again. He lifts Piper up off the ground, hooks his arms and hits the Angel’s Wings! Piper lands into the mat face first as Daniels shoots back up, pointing to the top rope. He takes his time setting up for the B.M.E., so when he finally goes for it, Piper rolls out of the way! Daniels lands on his stomach, and Piper quickly yanks him up, locking in the Sleeper! Daniels tries his best to fight it, but there’s no escape, and after a minute in the hold, the ref has no choice but to call the match!*

The fans begin to cheer as The Divas Champion's theme sounds through the speakers, signaling that she and The New World Heavyweight Champion are the victors of this Mixed Tag Main-Event.

[JR]
The Coupled Champions have done it, after their interaction earlier tonight, I can say I did not expect to see them being the one's with their hands raised when all was said and done.

[King]
Dean Ambrose and The Ryback certainly made their female counterparts do most of the work, proving that The West Side Army could not be shaken by being pitted against each other in a match like this.

[Michael Cole]
Meanwhile Layla's pinned the woman whom she took The Divas Championship away from at X-treme X-mas.

Ambrose enters the ring, along with The Ryback, who looks at a fallen AJ Lee holding her neck, still feeling the effects of the Layout. As The Ryback continues to look at AJ while shaking his head in disappointment, Paige is shown walking down the ramp and makes her way around the ring and towards the timekeepers area, taking the Divas Championship before making her way into the ring, leaving the referee to retrieve the World Heavyweight Championship.

Paige enters the ring and stands across from the person she'll be facing for the very same championship she has in her hands, Layla, and extends her arm out towards her friend, with the Divas Championship at the end of it, almost as if she wanted to be the one to hand it to her. A smile graces Layla's face, knowing that there was no repercussions for her one upping Paige earlier in the evening.

[Michael Cole]
Paige ensuring she's the one to hand Layla her title, perhaps because she wants to signify that she's giving it to her now, but at Final Stand it'll be another story.

Layla extends her arm to retrieve her Divas Championship from Paige, but just as she tries to pull it away, Paige's grip quickly grows tighter, giving the impression that Paige doesn't want to let go of what could potentially be hers in six weeks. Layla looks at Paige, almost unsure of what to expect, and just when it seemed that Paige wouldn't release the Divas Championship from her grasp, she lets go and raises Layla's arm into the air, returning the favor from earlier in the evening.

[JR]
Those two ladies will be heading into Final Stand, it's Brit versus Brit, and it'll be for The Divas Championship.

The referee goes to hand Ambrose his World Heavyweight Championship, after getting it from the timekeeper, but before he could extend his arm towards him, Ambrose quickly snatches the championship from him, catching the referee off guard. Ambrose tosses the championship over his shoulder and leans on the top rope, looking towards the duo formally known as The United Queendom, more specifically, Paige. Layla's hand is lowered back to her side as Paige notices Ambrose across the ring from her, quickly shaking her head and looking at him in disgust before both her and Layla exit the ring, leaving a still fallen AJ Lee and both members of The West Side Army in the ring.

Ambrose looks over to The Ryback, who shakes his head while chuckling to himself at Ambrose getting shot down instantly, in which Ambrose replies with a shrug and makes his way towards his ally. Ambrose raises The Ryback's hand into the air, even thought he was on the losing team, but that doesn't seem to matter to The Ryback, who raises his other hand into the air as well, leading to Ambrose doing the same and raises his World Heavyweight Championship into the air, causing The Ryback's theme to begin playing throughout the arena.

Both their arms are lowered back down simultaneously as Ambrose is shown mouthing something towards The Ryback, in which he replies with a nod. Ambrose begins making his way towards the ring ropes and begins to exit the ring before being stopped in his tracks as his eye catches a glimpse of the Titantron. Behind him, AJ Lee has recovered and began skipping in a circle around The Ryback, who is just standing in the center of the ring, confused. Ambrose, across the ring, is equally confused at what's happening before his eyes, more importantly, why.


[King]
What's AJ up to?

[Michael Cole]
Perhaps this would explain what she had to say earlier tonight.

AJ abruptly stops right in front of The Ryback, a semi crazed smile appearing on her face. The Ryback, who's on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, is wearing a serious expression, in an attempt to mask his confusion. Ambrose is shown standing halfway in the ring and halfway out of it, unsure whether or not to assist The Ryback. Almost instantly and without warning, AJ lunges at The Ryback, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck.

[JR]
Well, that's one way to go about a loss.

The Ryback tries to shake AJ off of him but almost as if she's made out of Velcro, she doesn't budge, quickly giving The Ryback a hug and hopping off of him. She proceeds to skip around him a bit more before sliding out of the ring and skipping up the ramp and out of view, leaving a very confused The Ryback in the ring with Ambrose, who is wondering just what the hell happened. Before he could question it...

The fans can be heard roaring loudly all of a sudden, not because they're happy, but angry. Sliding into the ring is none other than Mr. Money in The Bank Ted DiBiase, and he wastes no time passing his case off to the referee in charge, he's cashing in! Approaching Dean & Ryback, Ted casually walks over towards them until suddenly the referee's yelling passes through his ears. "RING THE BELL!" Prompting Ted to quick turn around and yell at the top of his lungs "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"  Gathering the attention of The World Champion and Ryback, which one could assume he was trying not to do. But what he also was apparently not trying to do, was cash in. Snatching his case out of the referee's hands, he begins to get in his face, shouting, pushing, throwing an absolute fit.

[King]
Ted DiBiase is livid! I guess he wasn't trying to cash in.


[JR]
Ted's had a history of issues involving referees, but dammit there's no excuse to be yelling at the poor man.

The referee throws his hands up innocently, trying to explain he thought Ted was cashing in, but DiBiase's not hearing any of it. He turns away from him for a second, before decking him with a right hand! The fans boo, Dean can't help but smirk, and The Ryback lets out a laugh after seeing the referee get knocked on his ass. Not because he's a jerk that enjoyed seeing that particular moment, but mainly because it was so unexpected that he couldn't help but laugh. Throwing his case to the mat, Ted kneels down over the official yelling "You're not going to screw me again!" Once can assume this is one of the same referee's that Ted's had trouble with over the years, either a disqualification, missing his opponent's feet on the ropes, conveniently missing several people illegally drop him for a count of three. This appears to be the last straw though, he didn't want to cash in, we're not sure what he wanted to do, but this is a mistake he'll regret making. Standing up now to a full position, Ted begins to scream more, begging him to get up, to give him a reason to knock him back down, and foolishly, the referee stirs. He starts to get up onto his hands and knees, holding his head dazed...just as Ted prepares to act on his rage one more time, suddenly Dean Ambrose charges forward striking the official with a hard knee to the skull that makes him limp instantly as he falls to the mat.

[Michael Cole]
Dean Ambrose and Ted DiBiase both just assaulted that referee!



Ted looks at Dean, unable to hold back a smirk, slightly annoyed that he wasn't the one to do it, but amused at the same time. Dean's title is on the mat, Ted's case on the mat, not far from each other, but their eyes remained locked on each other. That is until Ted makes the first move, swinging for a clothesline, which Dean ducks easily, and Ted just barely stops himself before he would have ran into Ryback, and surely started trouble. Ted throwing his hands up innocently, shouting "I had a muscle spasm!"  which prompts Ryback to chuckle, while Dean plans to do exactly what Ted beat him to punch at. He had rebound off the ropes, swings rushing for a clothesline from behind, DiBiase looks at the titantron, seeing it coming a mile away, ducks....and Dean nearly collides with his fellow WSA partner, Ryback! Just as Ted did, he throws his hands up, yelling "Whoa there big guy!"  turns his head to see Ted starting to laugh, he chuckles for a moment, unable to hold back the amusement he got from them both trying the same thing and failing miserably.

[Michael Cole]
Each man had the same thing in mind, which has to make you think, if they're on the same wave length, how will that come into play if Ted potentially attempts to cash that in sometime soon?

Ted's laugh seems to be contagious as The Ryback begins to join in on the laughter, with Ambrose following suit shortly after. Ambrose goes to pick up his World Heavyweight Championship while Ted does the same with his Money in the Bank Briefcase before both men hold up their respective possessions. After a few more moments of laughing, Ambrose's laughter slows down before coming to an abrupt end as a serious expression appears on his face. His eyes remain fixed on his potential opponent, in Ted DiBiase, while his hand now rests on The Ryback's shoulder before he is heard mouthing, “Get him.” Ted's laughter quickly comes to an end as he takes a step back. A few seconds later, Ted is heard saying, “You almost had me-” but gets cut off as Ambrose removes his hand from The Ryback's shoulder, causing him to take a step forward.

That's all Ted needed before he dropped down to the canvas and rolled out of the ring, wanting nothing to do with two members of The West Side Army on this night. He makes his way onto the stage as Ambrose leans on the ropes nearest to the entrance ramp, slinging his World Heavyweight Championship over the top rope and mouthing something that isn't picked up on camera, while The Ryback's intimidating figure stands behind him. Ambrose raises his arm towards Ted in the shape of a gun, taking aim at the Mr. Money in the Bank holder, before “shooting” him, which Ted symbolically blocks with his briefcase. Breakdown fades off the air as both The Ryback and Dean Ambrose stand in the ring while Ted repeatedly pats his case, mouthing "This is bullet proof."
