XWL Breakdown: 2/21/2014 - 2/28/2014

An image coming across the screen is the first thing shown upon returning from a commercial break, causing a wave of boos to rain down from the crowd. The image fades after a moment before a video begins to play, showing the new World Heavyweight Champion sitting alone in a chair, with the World Heavyweight Championship draped over it. He looks towards the camera, possibly thinking about being the Special Guest Referee in John Cena's match with a potential opponent in Ted DiBiase later on in the evening. A few moments of silence fill the air before Ambrose begins to speak.



{Dean Ambrose}
What happens when you take the most sadistic son of a bitch you could find, the most uncaring person, someone who isn't afraid to do whatever it takes to send a message, and give him a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship? What happens when he beats the false hero that “champion” claims to be and takes his championship away from him? What happens when that new champion has an Army backing him and shows no signs from backing down from whatever the future may hold for his championship reign because he knows that he can't be beat, he can't be stopped, and he is incapable of feeling pain or remorse? What do you do then?



{Dean Ambrose}
What a story it has been, the story of Dean Ambrose's rise to the top, the story of blood being spilled, falling victim to prejudice because of how he acted and how he carried himself in and out of the ring. The story of how the guy that would end up dead in a ditch in the middle of nowhere because he didn't know how to fight, the story of how that “Street Dog” and that boy who scratched and clawed his way to the top, how that little scrapper from Cincinnati became a God among men and reached Immortality, and once again shocked the world and made all the critics eat their words by becoming The World Heavyweight Champion.



{Dean Ambrose}
Everybody that has stepped up to Dean Ambrose has been knocked down, and that won't change because I have this championship in my possession, if anything, it will only make more people rise to the occasion, only to ultimately fail, just like Alberto Del Rio learned at Uprising the hard way. I am not this company's champion, I am not this company's hero, I am not this company's moneymaker, I'm Dean Ambrose, and the only thing I'm a champion of, is The West Side Army. I am it's Ace in the hole, I am the card it has up its sleeve, I am its protector, and for as long as this championship remains in my possession, which will be from now until the end of time, The West Side Army will also have a place in my spotlight.



{Dean Ambrose}
What that means, is that not only am I the World Heavyweight Champion, it means that The Ryback is also World Heavyweight Champion, Sara Del Rey is also World Heavyweight Champion, Don West is World Heavyweight Champion, and even our fallen member in Amazing Red is World Heavyweight Champion. What is mine, is also theirs. I owe it to Don West for even getting another shot at this championship, because that's all I needed, just one shot. Not two weeks after he made me not only his client, but befriended me, it was announced that I would walk into Uprising to face Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Championship, and we all know how well that turned out for us, but it came at a price.



{Dean Ambrose}
In all the time I've spent leading faction after faction, team after team, I learned something when I joined The West Side Army, there is no clash of egos within the ranks, there is no battle for superiority within, everybody has a role to play and we play it to perfection. We don't use each other as stepping stones to the top, we help each other survive in this dog eat dog world we call Professional Wrestling. We watch each others backs, we fight for each other, and should the situation call for it, we'll be standing alongside one another, ready to go to war with whoever opposes us.

As Dean wraps up that sentence, Don West steps onto the screen from the left side and Ryback comes in from the right.

-Don West-
That’s right, Dean, you’re not alone in this fight, but if you ask me you won’t need any help taking on the likes of Ted DiBiase. He’s a man who’s made his name and carved out a legacy for himself by making himself look like a victim while you’ve gotten to where you are by making other people the victim. People don’t realize until it’s too late that you’re a dangerous man and they can’t get a second chance from inside of their coffins. I know you’ve heard the whispers in the wind, Dean, the naysayers crying out, “Dean’s in The West Side Army! He’s gone soft!” We’ll they’ve got to be out of their minds because the only thing that has changed is that you’re playing your game smarter and because of that you’re heading into Final Stand as World Champion and not Alberto Del Rio then you’ll leave Final Stand as World Champion and not Ted DiBiase.

West looks over at Dean and then at Ryback.

-Don West-
Last week is was The West Side Army main eventing the show the way it should be and they made every second count. Layla and AJ were nothing but a distraction and I hope they sent flowers to Stephanie McMahon after the show to thank her for the opportunity to be in our presence. This week it’s CM Punk, a man who’s in our shadow, he’s a background player in the grand scheme of things and when the dust settles, Paul Heyman is going to find out once again that he bet on the wrong horse. Punk’s time has come and gone, the same can be said for each and every man that is relying on you to take their careers to the next level. On the other side of the fence where the grass is as green as the sky is blue, you have guys who are as hungry as ever for their time to come. Dean was just the beginning and I can assure you that Ryback isn’t far behind.

{{The Ryback}}
Oh I’m hungry all right, I’m always hungry. For food, for opponents, for victory. When I was forced to be among the Heyman Crew I heard the way that Paul Heyman talked about Punk. He would always say that he saw something in Punk, that when everyone else said that he was too this or too that, Heyman was the one who stood up for him. Well the difference between Punk and I is that I’m the kind of superstars that people want to see succeed. Don West wants me to succeed, Momma Reeves  wants me to succeed, Dean Ambrose, Amazing Red, Big E, Matt Hardy.. You see if there’s one thing that I learned from Heyman, it’s that having people that have your back is always a good thing. And you’d be amazed how willing someone will be to get your back if you get theirs. CM Punk is a lone wolf, he’s a one man show. I’m The Ryback, I don’t walk alone. The Heyman Crew might be big, but The West Side Army is bigger. We have the World Champion for pete sake!!

Ambrose smiles as he puffs his chest out, showing off his title.

{{The Ryback}}
I know that CM Punk is a former World Champion, I know that he’s considered to be one of the best in the ring and on the mic. I know what he’s done in this company. I simply don’t care. If I go into this match thinking that he’s got me beat, then the match would be over before it even started. I’m not saying that I’m better than Punk, heck he’s had a lot more experience in the Main Event than little ole me, but I know that I have it in me to defeat him. I’ve stood across the ring from Brock Lesnar for crying out loud! CM Punk should be a walk in the park compared to that, even Paul Heyman knows it!! I’m The Ryback. I’m a Human Wrecking Ball. I don’t plan on outclassing CM Punk, I plan on hurting him until he can’t take it any longer. And let’s be honest now, there’s nothing that CM Punk can do to me that would be worse than having to tag with AJ Lee last week!

Ambrose and The Ryback laugh and laugh and laugh

{{The Ryback}}
I’ve been beaten, bruised, battered. I’ve been speared, put through tables, and triple powerbombed. The last month has not been easy on me, yet I’m still standing. I’m still here. And I’m still West Side Army. Goldberg and the rest of The Heyman Crew think that I’m the one who has to worry about Final Stand. But the reality is that it’s Goldberg who should be worrying. I’m stronger than him, I’m younger than him, I’m better looking than him!! The only thing that he has on me is the ability to walk out on something without a single regret. But that’s not me. I’m not walking out on The West Side Army. No. I’m going to walk right into that ring come Final Stand, and it doesn’t matter who tries to stop me, Edge, Lesnar, The Rock!! I’m going to Shell Shock Goldberg and pin him in the middle of that ring, proving that passion is stronger than a paycheck!!

-Don West-
And the momentum from our actions tonight will carry on into Final Stand and beyond because there’s a reason why this group has been a force to be reckoned with for almost a year and it’s the same reason that will keep pushing us forward until we’ve conquered all there is to conquer and accomplished all there is to accomplish. People have thrown their best at us, given it everything they’ve got to try to knock us down a peg, but we’ve taken it all in stride and what hasn’t killed us has made us stronger and I’d like to think that as much as it will pain Paul Heyman to hear this: we’re damn near invincible now. The scary part is we’re not even at full strength right now. The scary part is we’re only just getting started. Amazing Red was an important spoke in The West Side Army wheel, and when Stephanie McMahon makes the right move of reinstating him next week there will be no stopping us and those who try will quickly find out that when you mess with West, you go down with the rest!

*We return from a commercial break to see Daniel Bryan in the ring with a microphone in hand, he brings it to his mouth as he's about to speak but he's interrupted by the crowd breaking out into a large "Daniel Bryan!" chant over and over which causes him to pause and break out into a smile.*



*The fans start a "Yes!" chant now once Bryan acknowledges the chant which makes him laugh a little bit and once it dies down he brings the microphone back up.*



[Daniel Bryan] No matter what I'm going through in XWL, whether it be bad or good, it's always you guys that can put a smile on my face. But for the past month I've been going through a bit of.. frustration with Chris Sabin. It all started on BreakDown when I beat him fair and square in a match, we shook hands in a sign of respect and headed to the back and that was that, or so I thought. Afterwards Chris started making these ridiculous claims that I had a loaded knee pad and I cheated to beat him and I mean, come on, I don't need a loaded knee pad to knock a guy out like that and I damn sure wouldn't need to cheat against a guy like Chris Sabin. And the fact that he just went on and on about how I'm a crook, untrustworthy and a fake really got to me, I tried to show who the real Chris Sabin was but nobody seemed to believe me..



[Daniel Bryan] Chris, when you talked all that crap about me, you disrespected me. And you disrespected the intelligence of each and every one of these fans who pay to watch guys like you wrestle and support you, well they used to.. At Uprising we finally saw your true colours and the fans finally saw the real Chris Sabin. Not the Motor City Machine Gun Chris Sabin who is respected and loved by the fans, putting on 5 star matches night in and night out! We saw the Chris Sabin who instead relies on low blows and rollups to get a victory over someone he knows he simply cannot beat. I don't know what happened to you, Chris, but I don't like it. If this was any other guy they probably would've just moved on and forgotten about it after I knee'd you post match, but I don't forget easily, knocking you out after the match simply wasn't enough. I want one more match.



[Daniel Bryan] Last week I talked to Stephanie McMahon trying to get a match made between us for this week but she wouldn't allow it, then she went on to say that if I wanted another match with you I'm going to have to get your approval. I know I want to face you again, I know these people want to see us face again and if you had any guts you'd step up to the plate and prove that you can actually beat me fair and square, if you have faith in yourself that is. We're tied right now, Chris, 1-1, I beat you on BreakDown fairly, you cheated a victory against me at Uprising, why don't we settle the score at say... Final Stand? That sounds like a good tie breaker to me, what about you guys?

*The fans break out into huge "YES!" chants now wanting to see Sabin and Daniel face off once more, Daniel joins in on the chants trying to goad Sabin into accepting his challenge.*







Hail Sabin!



The theme of one half of the team formally known as The Motor City Machine Guns begins to play throughout the arena, causing the “Yes!” chants to cease and change into a ballad of boos directed at the man that holds a hollow victory over Daniel Bryan.



Sabin bursts out from behind the curtain, causing the boos to get somewhat louder, as Sabin looks almost appalled by the crowd's reaction. After a few moments, it appears that Sabin has hatched an idea and throws his arms into the air, and at the top of his lungs, begins to shout, “Yes!” causing the live audience in attendance to go silent for all of a split second before quickly trying to counter Sabin with “No!” chants.



With every chant getting louder than the last, Sabin decides to abandon this losing fight and begins to make his descent down the entrance ramp, putting his fist up into the air, in the direction of the one fan chanting “Yes!” along with him. He makes it to the bottom of the ramp and looks into the ring towards Daniel Bryan, who is waiting for him to get into the ring and give him his answer. Sabin places a foot on the bottom step, before moving his other foot onto the second step, almost taking his time scaling the ring steps and Bryan grows more and more impatient in the ring.



After what must have felt like an eternity for Bryan and the live audience in attendance, Sabin has entered the ring, wielding a microphone in one hand. He raises it up towards his mouth to speak, but is quickly cut off by an array of “No!” chants, causing him to look towards the crowd with a look of displeasure on his face, while Bryan looks on, amused by their antics. Sabin calms himself down before looking towards Bryan and beginning to speak.



{Chris Sabin}
It's cute how you got these people to chant “Yes” for a rematch that “everybody” wants to see, it's adorable really, but why exactly would I want to face you again? I mean, you're clearly a sore loser, even going to the lengths of saying that I hit you with a low blow to save face. You're better than that, Bryan, you don't need to lie to yourself and these people, you were beaten by the better man at Uprising, and there's nothing wrong with that.



{Chris Sabin}
I've been in your shoes, Bryan, I know what it feels like to be bested by the better man, hell, you bested me in our first encounter on Breakdown, and I still shook your hand like the man that I am. But what did you do? You chose the low road, the road that cowards take, you chose to knee me in the face after I beat you in the center of this ring, and yet, you somehow convinced these people that I'm the bad guy here.



{Chris Sabin}
I refuse to let you run my name through the mud anymore, Bryan, I'm going to end the speculation once and for all. You see, I didn't come alone tonight, that would be a stupid thing to do, especially against someone like you. What I brought with me, or should I say, who I brought with me has helped me get out of a jam in the past more than once, and I know it'll help me pull the wool away from the eyes of the people in the crowd and around the world. Ladies and gentlemen, allow my to introduce a fellow Detroit native...

The live audience in attendance quickly goes from boos to the opposite end of the spectrum, causing a roar of cheers as they appear to know who Sabin has brought with him, perhaps a former tag team partner?

{Chris Sabin}
The power of Technology!

Without warning, boos rain down, causing Sabin, who is pointing towards the Titantron, to shout out, “What?” as the boos continue pouring in.



{Chris Sabin}
Why are you booing Technology? Did you think it was somebody else? You won't be booing Technology when this is over, because what I brought with me was something that you should have brought with you, Bryan, to prove your ludicrous claims against me, a replay of what happened last night. Now, I won't show the whole match because that wouldn't be good for the Uprising DVD sales when it hits shelves soon, so I'll only show the part that you somehow convinced these people was my fault.



{Chris Sabin}
Without further ado, if you would be so kind as to divert your eyes toward the Titantron, that's the big screen above the stage for the people that aren't quite as fast as the others, and bare witness to the travesty that has befallen me after I defeated your goat like hero. Roll the footage!

Almost as if right on cue, a video begins to play on the Titantron, showing the closing moments of the Uprising bout of the two men in the ring. Bryan has his arms wrapped around Sabin's waist while Sabin is wrapped on the ropes, as the ref is making his count. After a moment, Bryan is quickly struck with a blatant low blow, causing Sabin to take advantage and rolls Bryan up for the three count. The footage comes to an end as Sabin is heard shouting, “See, I told you it wasn't my fault!” while Bryan has a hand on his face, shaking his head at the obliviousness of Chris Sabin.



{Chris Sabin}
I told you that it wasn't my fault, I told you that I wasn't in the wrong here, Bryan was. It's all the fault of your beloved hero, I just proved that. And now, you want a rematch? Bryan, what's stopping from what happened at Uprising from happening again if we meet in this ring one more time? And by that, I mean you being a sore loser because your loaded knee pad couldn't get the job done. Why would a man of my caliber put himself through the pain and heartache that comes with beating Daniel Bryan in the center of this ring yet again?



{Chris Sabin}
You so deliberately turned these people against me, but I saw right through your plan and now that the rights have been wronged, now that I am the Motor City Hero once again, I have nothing left to prove against you. So if you got something to say, Bryan, now's the time to say it.

*Daniel obviously doesn't look happy with Sabins answer.*



[Daniel Bryan] So that's how it's gonna be, huh? You're just gonna show everyone in the arena and everyone watching at home how much of a coward you are, just like that? I knew you were spineless Chris, but this is taking it to a whole new low. What happened to the Chris Sabin who was respected by every wrestler in the back, a guy everyone loved to be around! Because the guy I see before me is a bitter shell of his former self. It looks to me like the Motor City Hero is nothing more than a Motor City...

*Daniel pauses as he raises his microphone towards the crowd as fans can be heard shouting things such as "Pussy!" and "Bitch!"*



[Daniel Bryan] ..I think they say it all themselves. Look, let's not forget that we're tied in our victories, you're really just going to drop everything and run right now before the score is settled? When I defeated you as clean as a sheet on BreakDown you were the one who interrupted my interview the week after clamouring for a rematch against me and I gave it to you because unlike you I've got a set. I was decent enough to give you a rematch when you were at your lowest because you put up a hell of a fight and you earned it. Now you don't even have the decency to give me a rematch after I did that favour for you? Sure Chris, in your own wacky world you beat me fair and square. But just remember this, in a few months time these people won't remember Chris Sabin low blowing Daniel Bryan and stealing a win against him... They're going to remember Daniel Bryan standing over Chris Sabin at Uprising after knocking him out cold with a knee to the face!



[Daniel Bryan] So if you want to end this chapter at Daniel Bryan getting the better of Chris Sabin not once but twice? Go ahead, show how much of a singles star and a man you are by backing down because no matter how many excuses come to that empty head of yours there's one thing these people will not forget and that's Daniel Bryan is better than Chris Sabin. Who knows? Maybe when you realise that you're not half as decent as you thought you were you might go crawling back to your former tag partner and leech off his success like you've done for the past 2 years.



*Daniel lowers his microphone staring at Sabin with a glare trying to get under his skin as you can hear the fans going "Ohhhh!"*



{Chris Sabin}
Name calling? Really, Bryan? It's real clever using the Alex Shelley card too. And involving the crowd?  Man, are you a genius or what? Are you really that desperate for a match against Chris Sabin? Maybe instead of calling me names and trying to make me angry enough to make the match official, you should look in the mirror and see that these accusations go both ways, Bryan. Wasn't it you that not six months ago was pretending to be this “Evil Villain” and corrupting the mind of AJ Lee? Wasn't it you that pushed her, bullied her and forced her to do things she didn't want to do? Or have you and these people forgotten that? You're doing nothing more than the pot calling the kettle black.



{Chris Sabin}
And why would I agree to a rematch if I'm such a “coward?” Should I exit the ring and talk trash to you from the stage like a coward would do or should I stay standing in the center of this ring and look you straight in your eyes and tell you that you're going to have to do a whole lot better than name calling to get me to fight you in this ring one more time? There's a fine line that no man should cross, and you not only crossed it, you metaphorically spat in my face while doing so by bringing Alex into this.



{Chris Sabin}
You want to go one on one again? Then let's do it! You want to bring a loaded knee pad again? I'll bring two! You want to knee me in the face? I'll superkick your goat teeth down your throat! It'll be Chris Sabin taking on Daniel Bryan one more time, and since I'm such a nice guy, I'll let you pick the time and the place.

*The fans cheer at Bryan getting his match as a focused Bryan replies.*



[Daniel Bryan] I know exactly who I was in the past Chris, I tried gimmicks, I treated AJ Lee like crap when she was my manager, I turned my back on the fans, I did it all! But I guess you weren't paying attention to the statement I made to the fans back in September where I addressed all that, apologized for my actions and to AJ Lee herself, maybe you were too busy playing video games in your locker room instead of focusing on what's important. But hell, it looks like my plan worked right? I knew if I wanted to get a rematch against you I'd have to get under your skin and it looks like to me that it was a success. You know there's a show coming up in a few weeks and I think it would be the perfect time and place, howabout we settle this score of ours at Final Stand VI? Because what better show for me to prove myself to the whole XWL universe than the biggest show in XWL history?

*The fans begin to chant "YES!" at Daniel's request but he quickly goes back to talking.*



[Daniel Bryan] Oh, and you want to talk about how I crossed a line? You should've thought of that when you hit me with a low blow at Uprising because then you threw all lines out the window, you think it's so disrespectful bringing up Alex? I mean let's just put it this way, it's hard not to bring up Shawn Michaels when you're talking to Marty Jannetty..

Sabin looks at Bryan with a confused expression, unsure of what to think of that.



{Chris Sabin}
Marty Janne- What? Are you okay, Bryan? I don't know if there's something wrong with your vision, maybe there is after you accused me of intentionally hitting you with a low blow, but I'm not Marty Jannetty. And when did we even bring up Shawn Michaels? Are you reminiscing about how he beat you month after month after month for the United States Championship?



{Chris Sabin}
Final Stand VI? You want to face Chris Sabin on a night where he is at his best, on the Grandest Stage of them all? I couldn't think of a better Pay-Per-View to shut you and all the naysayers up for good than Final Stand. After all the false accusations, after all the lies, after all the deceit, Chris Sabin and Daniel Bryan will go one on one at Final Stand VI!



{Chris Sabin}
But it won't be an ordinary match, no Bryan, a match that has this much riding on it, why don't I one up you again and do you one better? Chris Sabin versus Daniel Bryan, yeah, I get top billing because I'm the bigger star, will face off in one of my personal favorite matches, in a match where one win isn't enough, a match that requires you to play it smart, an Iron Man Match.



{Chris Sabin}
You put thirty minutes on a clock and let the man and goat in the ring do whatever they could possibly think of to each other and at the end, when the clock strikes zero, the person with the most falls is the victor. What do you think about that, Bryan?

Bryan raises his microphone up towards his mouth, but before he could speak, he's met across his forehead with a microphone shot, courtesy of Chris Sabin. Bryan staggers backwards, remaining on his feet, causing Sabin to prematurely begin his celebration. Sabin turns back around and sees a pissed off Daniel Bryan looking right at him with rage filled eyes, causing Sabin to take a step back, unsure if it was smart to take the first shot. Bryan lunges forward, causing Sabin to drop down to the canvas and rolls out of the ring, not wanting anything to do with Bryan until their newly made Iron Man Match at Final Stand. Sabin makes it to the top of the stage, leaving Bryan alone in the ring as his theme begins to play, causing a wave of “Yes!” chants to drown out his theme. The last image shown is Daniel Bryan standing tall in the center of the ring as Sabin disappears backstage. We head to a commercial break.

As Breakdown returns we are shown Christian waiting in the ring for his opponent.

You Think You Know Me….

The crowd lets out a boo as The Rated R Superstar makes his way out to the stage.

{{Edge}}
I know what you’re thinking Christian, I’m not Kofi Kingston, I’m not the opponent you were scheduled to face. So what am I doing out here? Well I’ll tell you. I heard what you said backstage, I know that you want “one more match” at Final Stand.

Christian nods his head as Edge makes his way to the ring.

King
Welcome back ladies and gentleman. Christian was all set to take on Kofi Kingston tonight, but it looks like Edge decided to intervene.

JR
That’s right King. Christian told Rene Young earlier tonight that he wanted to face Edge at Final Stand. It looks like Edge is out here to address that challenge!!

Edge slides into the ring and stands across from Christian when all of a sudden…

Oh Yeahh!!….

The crowd goes wild as Matt Hardy makes his way out to the ring.

King
What is Matt Hardy doing out here??!?

Hardy enters the ring, staring Edge down.

{{Edge}}
Let me guess. You want to face me at Final Stand as well? Of course you would. I mean who wouldn’t? After all I’m Edge. I’m the Rated R Superstar! I’m a Paul Heyman Guy. Facing me at Final Stand could do wonders for your career Matt. And yours too Christian. I bet you two are sick of playing second fiddle, of being the sidekick. Jeff Hardy is the high flyer, the rainbow haired warrior, the extreme risk taker, he’s the one that all the kids want to be. And Matt Hardy? Well Matt Hardy is nothing more than Jeff Hardy’s brother. Christian? Who? Oh you mean that guy who looked a little like Edge? Ohhh, Edge’s tag team partner, Edge’s best friend, that Christian. You two are both trying to make a name for yourselves by facing me, I get it, it’s understandable. But I can’t pick both of you. So, do I pick my former best friend, my former tag team partner, Christian? Or my enemy, the man who defeated me at Uprising, Matt Hardy?

Stephanie McMahon
I will be the one deciding that Edge, not you. You’re just like Paul, thinking that you can call the shots around here. Well you can’t. That’s my job… You know, it’s funny that you’re out there discussing your Final Stand Match. Because I was just discussing it too. All we’ve heard from you these past few weeks is “Money in the Bank this, and Money in the Bank that.” Well I think that I’ve been a little hard on Paul as of late, so let this be me saying, I’m sorry… Edge, we have decided the first entrant in the Final Stand Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Briefcase!!! And it is you!!

Edge is smiling from ear to ear as Christian and Hardy look on in shock.

King
Did you hear that!! Edge is in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match!!

Stephanie McMahon
If..

Edge looks back up at the tron.

Stephanie McMahon
If.. You defeat Matt Hardy tonight in your tables match, right here right now!! And if you don’t, then at Final Stand Edge, you will be facing both Christian and Matt Hardy in a one on two handicap match!!! Oh, and I almost forgot, Goldberg, Devitt, and Brock are all banned from ringside tonight, so good luck!.. And Paul said that I never do anything for him. This is a huge opportunity Edge, and well, you’re The Ultimate Opportunist right? You should have no problem finding a way out of this…

And with that Stephanie disappears from the tron. Edge is in the ring throwing a temper tantrum as the ref signals for the match to begin!! Matt Hardy elbows Edge from behind as Christian exits the ring and joins the commentary team!

King
Look who it is!!

The commentators all shake hands with Captain Charisma.

Cole
So Christian, if Matt Hardy wins tonight then Edge has to face both you and Matt Hardy at Final Stand. Do you think that you can co-exist with the older Hardy brother? What a clothesline by Edge!!

Christian
What kind of question is that Cole? First of all, I might not be Edge's biggest fan right now, but even I know that Matt Hardy doesn't stand a chance against the Rated R Superstar. So why should I bother worrying about that when it's a scenario that's completely out of the realm of possibility? But I'll humor you, if he somehow manages to pull off the upset victory tonight, I assure you, he won't be around long enough to celebrate, because like I said earlier tonight, one way or another, that match is mine, and I'm not even slightly interested in sharing with anybody.

Cole
Leg drop by Hardy.. And a kick out by Edge!!

King
Well on the other hand, if Edge wins then The Rated R Superstar will be competing in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for The World Heavyweight Championship Briefcase!! What are your thougths on Edge being chosen as the first entrant of the Final Stand Money in the Bank Match Christian?

Cole
Hardy got the table!!

Christian
Look, I've been through a lot with the guy, and my personal feelings aside, I have all the respect in the world for Edge, but do I think he deserves to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match at Final Stand? No, I don't. But like I said earlier, short of a miracle, there's no chance that Hardy is getting the victory here, so I guess that means Edge will in fact be the first announced participant of the money in the bank ladder match. But I hope he doesn't get too comfortable in that ladder match, because as soon as it's over, I'm coming straight for him, that target he has on his back is only going to get bigger, and by the time Final Stand rolls around, not even Paul Heyman will be able to protect him from what he has coming.

Cole
Hardy has Edge up!! He’s going to put him through the- Ohh what a reversal!! Just getting out of that one!

King
Speaking of Paul Heyman, aren't you at all concerned about his Crew? After all picking a fight with Edge means that you're picking a fight with Goldberg! And now The Rock!! And who knows what Paul meant when he said what he did about Prince Devitt! Do you really think that you have what it takes to take on the whole Crew?

Cole
Twist of Fate!! Twist of Fate!!

Christian
Alone? No. I'm not stupid, JR, I know that the odds are stacked against me, but these men made a victim out of me, they used me and threw me away. If I was just to let bygones be bygones, what kind of man would that make me? Besides, when Paul Heyman allies himself with four egocentric men, that's a recipe for disaster, there's practically no chance that they haven't made any enemies.

Cole
Hardy has Edge sprawled out on the table!! And he’s on the top rope!! He’s going to hit the Extreme Leg Drop!!

King
Like Matt Hardy?

Cole
What!! How did Edge have it in him to roll off of that table!! And now Hardy has to get down from the top rope and rethink a new- Ohh! Missile Dropkick by Hardy!!

Christian
I should correct myself. There's practically no chance that they haven't made any worthy enemies. And from what I've seen on TV and what I've read online while I was away, I'm right. These men have managed to piss off two of the biggest names in the history of wrestling, John Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin. When you add that on to the West Side Army, Big E Langston, and hell even JTG... You can't deny that Paul has bitten off a lot more than he can chew. I mean what is that, four against... Nine?

King
Well tonight’s match is a tables match, that means No DQ! And The Heyman Crew is banned from ringside. If there was ever a chance to use numbers to your advantage…

Christian
You know what…

In the ring Edge is setting up a table in the corner as Hardy gets to his feet. Christian slides into the ring as Edge and Hardy charge at one another, both going for a cross body leaving both down in the middle of the ring!! Christian is in the corner now, daring Edge to get to his feet!! The crowd cheers as both Edge and Hardy get to their feet!! Christian charges and…

King
SPEAR!!!... CHRISTIAN JUST SPEARED MATT HARDY!??!

Edge stumbles into a corner as Christian picks Hardy up and props him up against the table that is set up on the turnbuckles!! Edge charges…

King
SPEAR!! SPEAR THROUGH THE TABLE!! EDGE WINS!! EDGE IS GOING ONTO THE FINAL STAND MONEY IN THE BANK MATCH!!

Christian holds Edge’s hand up in victory as the crowd boos. The boos grow louder as Paul Heyman, Goldberg, and Prince Devitt all make their way out to the ring. Heyman holds Chrisitan’s hand high in the air, cementing Captain Charisma’s place in the Heyman Crew as the crowd boos. All of a sudden…

King
SPEAR!! EDGE JUST SPEARED DEVITT!!

The crowd lets out a sound of shock as Edge looks down at Prince Devitt. Heyman grabs a mic..

{{Paul Heyman}}
Ladies and Gentleman, earlier tonight I let everyone know that I was less than happy with the performances of my former client Kane. And we dealt with him accordingly, replacing him with a man worthy of calling himself a Heyman Guy. A man who can confidently stand beside the likes of Edge, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar and call himself their equals. Yes I’m talking about The Rock. But that only dealt with one of our problems. You see Kane wasn’t the only one of my clients who hasn’t proven himself worthy of being my client… Goldberg, The Rock, Brock Lesnar… Prince Devitt? It just doesn’t fit…

Devitt slowly gets back to his feet only to be speared by Christian!!!

King
Another Spear!!

{{Paul Heyman}}
You see, Prince Devitt just isn’t on the same level as Brock Lesnar. He isn’t in the same league as Goldebrg. And he certainly isn’t even close to being able to stand next to The Rock without being mistaken as one of his assistants, or shoe shiners, or whatever it is The Rock pays his people to do to get ready for his movies. What I’m trying to say is that Prince Devitt is just.. A Prince… The Heyman Crew is for kings..

E&C lift Devitt up as Goldberg spears him!!!

King
A third spear!!

{{Paul Heyman}}
Ladies and gentleman..

E&C lift Devitt high into the air, right onto Goldberg’s shoulders..

{{Paul Heyman}}
I present to you the new Heyman Crew!! The greatest tag team to grace this business… E&C!! And the most dominant man in the history of this industry… Goldberg!! When you put that Crew alongside the Former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar and The Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment.. Well… Stone Cold, Ryback, Big E, John Cena, it doesn’t matter who, No One Can Stop The Heyman Crew.

And with that Heyman drops the mic and holds E&C’s hands high in the air as Goldberg stands over Prince Devitt.

King
What a sight!! E&C is reunited!! I wonder why Christian decided to do this!!!

And with that we go to a commercial break.

As Breakdown continues the cameras cut to an undisclosed location as Zeb turns on a camera and starts to walk away from it



When Zeb stands next to his colleague Antonio Cesaro he starts to address the audience



Zeb Colter: Ladies and Gentlemen of the United States of America, I know what you're all thinking. You're thinking why I have I a great American citizen, a man who has fought for his country with honor and dignity to uphold the American way, why would a man like myself chose to represent a man like Mr. Cesaro. You see my friend hear is not like THEM, he isn't just answer statistic, he didn't sneak into our country, no. Antonio Cesaro is for all intents and purposes a REAL American, a legal American and an outstanding citizen at that, one that I am proud to call my United States champion, a man who is a credit to this country and a man who stands for everything that red, white and blue flag should stand for.

Zeb pauses for a brief moment as he points at Antonio Cesaro as he continues to talk about him

Zeb Colter: Mr Cesaro is the example to what every man, woman or child who crosses our borders and settles in our country should aspire to be, they should come to America through the legal routes with their shelves rolled up ready to dig down and earn their keep, and not sneaking across our borders with their hands outstretched taking every single government hand out they can possibly take, taking the food out of American mouths, off of our tables because of a technically in a flawed system, and to that I say ENOUGH.



Zeb Colter: A long time ago a name Peter Maivia came from the Island of Samoa to wrestle and believe you me, back in those days I guarantee you he did not obtain the proper documents that allowed him to do so, and he took an Americans job, and because of the example he gave his blood brothers, men who are not in all legal definition related to him stuck across our borders and settled in Florida, and for generations upon generations this illegitimate family of illegals have fornicated and bred in our country for decades, as the stole from hard working Americans such as myself, they came to America with their hands held out as wide as their stomachs begging for a hand out from Uncle Sam. They stole from your pockets people, they have stolen free educations on scholarship programs intended for Americans, and I say this has to come to an end immediately.



Zeb Colter: For over fifty years now Islander after Islander has jumped on a boat and travelled to this great nation looking to emulate the criminal activity of the Anoa'i family, and I say no more. And at Final Stand VI Antonio Cesaro is going to make an example out of the latest Samoan to sneak into our country when he defends his United States championship against Roman Reigns, and even though Stephanie McMahon saw fit to ensure that neither Cesaro nor Roman Reigns lay a finger on each other until the bell rings for their match, you can never be too sure what those blood thirsty savages are really thinking, and that my fellow Americans will be Roman Reigns' greatest downfall. You see he will not be stepping into with  any man, no, no, no he will be stepping into the ring with quite possibly the smartest man alive today. While Roman Reigns is a strong, destructive brute, Mr Cesaro here asides from being the strongest pound for pound man quite possibly in the world today, he is a thinking man's wrestler.



Zeb Colter: You name a hold, and Antonio will have a counter for it, Roman Reigns can throw everything including the kitchen sink and Antonio Cesaro will still defeat him. What you have right here is the most complete athlete in wrestling today, and more importantly than that you have a real American, and after Final Stand, just like he is right now he will still be your United States champion. So right now, I would like everybody watched to put their hands over their heart and say long with me.

Zeb and Cesaro put their hand over their chest as they say in unison



Zeb Colter and Antonio Cesaro: We the people.

As they finish speaking to camera cuts out and the cameras fade to black as the segment comes to an end

No longer a crowd pleaser, once Ted DiBiase's theme hits the fans don't erupt in excited glee as they have for the last three years...no instead only a chorus of boos follow from the betrayed fans and former members of The DiBiase Posse.

[JR]
Oh boy, in all my years in this business, never have I been so shocked as I was last week when this man turned his back on the people that have supported him way back before he had even made it.

[King]
It's a question I'll ask until the end of time, what brought about this sudden change in Ted DiBiase?

[Michael Cole]
Clearly you people weren't listening last week when he very simply, and logically explained himself. These so called fans went from blindly supporting him no matter what he said, no matter what he did, and no matter who fell to him for almost three years....and then the second the man whom played an instrumental role in his firing comes back, they greet him with a hero's welcome? How in any universe does that make any sense?!

Making his way out from the back, Ted steps onto the stage, gazing out at the various signs with the question "Why?" and sour expresses on the faces of former DiBiase Posse members. But he's not phased by their reaction to him, in fact it almost brings a smile to his face, a smile that says he was right, that they turned their backs on him as quick as they got the chance, as quick as he started thinking for himself, they hopped off the bandwagon and deserted him. All through the years countless men said those very words to him, Edge, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, The Rock the list goes on, and they've all proven to be right.

[JR]
People change, Cole. Maybe the fans wanted to give Edge a chance, just as they did with Ted back when he lost everything?

[Michael Cole]
But Edge hadn't changed, and that was what, the fifth time he was a "good guy?" how many chances do these people even give? They brought this on themselves. Ted DiBiase was a model superstar, everything they claimed they wanted, the feel good story that came about from him getting his job back...the months of agony, a number of blatant screw jobs, and then the man who started it all comes back, and he's not supposed to end the final chapter by defeating Edge? He's just supposed to forget everything that happened?

[King]
Edge said he was sorry, isn't that enough?

[Michael Cole]
If that's the case, then why after Ted came out last week, why did he get greeted with boos before he even had a chance to speak? Edge didn't say he was sorry before they all shouted at the top of their lungs for him? These people are fickle, and if you ask me, Ted made the right move in kicking those ingrates out of his Posse.

[JR]
But how can you say such a thing, Cole? The fans WERE The DiBiase Posse, without them it's nothing.

Marching down the ramp, some fans wishing that this is all just some kind of misunderstanding, foolishly hold their hands out for their "hero" to touch. He stops in his tracks, seeing a little boy that seems to have been a die hard DiBiase Posse member...sporting the shirt, holding up a sign that said "DiBiase Posse For Life." It seems to catch Ted's attention more than anyone else in the crowd did for he starts to walk over to the boy, his face lighting up....until Ted grabs his sign, flashes the boy his trademark cheesy smile....before ripping it in half and throwing it to the floor stomping on it and yelling "I don't think so!"

[JR]
Oh come on, that's just a child, a child that used to look up to you!

[King]
You know I can't help but feel like Ted's a hypocrite, all the trouble he gave The Rock several years ago when he turned on "The People" and look at him now! How can he treat the people who brought him to this stage this way?

[Michael Cole]
How? It's pretty easy when those people threw you aside the second the man who got you fired made his triumphant return!

[JR]
They made a mistake, they were sorry, they were fooled, how is that their fault?

[Michael Cole]
So Ted's supposed to forget about how they treated him? Like he was nothing more than a common villain because he wasn't as happy to see Edge as they were? You can say I don't make sense a lot of the times, and that's fine, but these are facts, this is the truth, and this is why Ted no longer wants anything to do with them!

The stunt that Ted just pulled garners him more and more boos, to the point that he almost seems regretful for the actions he just made. So much so that Ted picks up both halves of the sign, slightly frowns, then hands them to the kid with an apologetic look on his face. Reluctant to be fooled again, the kid looks at Ted for a few seconds, before inching his hand closer to the two halves, then as he goes to grab them, Ted snatches it away, shredding the pieces in half again and throws them into the crowd before picking up his Money in The Bank briefcase and  walking away. He doesn't turn back to look at the kid or anyone else, he just slides into the ring and beckons for a microphone.

[King]
I don't even wanna hear his explanation for that. There is no justification in bullying a young boy like that.

[Michael Cole]
Bullying? He made it clear last week that everyone was kicked out of The DiBiase Posse, and there's no exceptions.

[JR]
That includes you too, Cole.

[Michael Cole]
I was never a member in the first place, I just find it hilarious that you and everyone else went from singing his praises to damning everything he does. I'm about speaking the truth, and the truth is, Ted's better off without all of you.



Standing in the center of the ring, a microphone in one hand, his Money in The Bank briefcase in the other, Ted stares at the people who used to be in his DiBiase Posse, and he seems disgusted to have been yet another spoke in the wheel, another good guy that could do no wrong, as long as he he did what they wanted. But the second he strayed from that path, their support went away, and his eyes became open for the first time in his entire career. All of the words spoken by his enemies, ringing through his ears, and proving to be the only thing he should have listened to all this time. After a few seconds of silence, that allowed the arena to quieten down, Ted raises this microphone up to his face.




Ladies and gentlemen, the people who I personally kicked out of MY Posse last week, I'd like you to spread the word. Because I don't like tearing up signs, especially not a sign that a poor little kid stayed up so late to make just perfect last night...and all in hopes that his hero would see it, and give him a smile...but I made myself clear, I said that nobody mattered in The DiBiase Posse, but ME! That means that coming out here, and advertising yourself as a "Member For Life" is unacceptable, and quite frankly...it's borderline slander!

Not at all happy with how Ted's acting, they don't hesitate to show it, booing just as loudly as they were when he came out here.




That's right, you're slandering my good name by trying to associate yourselves with me. I get it, your lives suck, you're poor, you're in a loveless relationship with either your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or job....BUT I DON'T CARE! The days where I'll go out of my way to show you any respect are gone, because you've proven that you don't deserve it. You might pay to see us, to "help us" live out our dreams...but in reality, all you're really doing is paying to see us, do what you WISH you could. You wish you were a star, you wish you were a champion, you wish you had a gorgeous wife at home like most of us do...but you don't! Because instead of bettering your lives, you shill out money to escape them. Maybe if you put that money towards a gym membership you might not be so miserable, but I suppose you all really needed that hot dog with extra everything that you got during the last break, huh?




The truth hurts, but it will set you free....and let me tell ya, I've been set free, I'm free, thank god almighty, I AM FREE AT LAST! Gone are the days where I'll be your puppet doing your bidding, gone are the nights I nearly kill myself in the sake of entertaining you! I gave you the best years of my career, and LOOK WHAT I HAVE TO SHOW FOR IT! A bunch of people now saying I betrayed them, when in all actuality, it is they who betrayed me. When The Rock told you all to go to hell, WHO STOOD UP FOR YOU?! But did you stand up for me when Edge returned? YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID! Cody Rhodes got me fired, Vickie Guerrero got me fired, and you booed them! So what made Edge any different?! Because he came out here with a fake smile and said he had changed? That bastard took a year away from me that I'll never get back, and you greet him with a hero's welcome?! AFTER STANDING BY ME THROUGH THE HELL I WAS PUT THROUGH?! You idiots actually cheered the man that made it all possible?!

Ted's tone gets louder and louder with each point he makes, while the fans don't listen to a thing he says, they know all he's doing is insulting them over and over, so it doesn't matter what he has to say for himself, they're not buying it nor do they want it.




You can pin this on me all you want, say that I've changed, but every single time someone "betrays" you...it's because you betrayed them first. Once trust is lost, it can never be found, and for you to think that I'd actually forgive you, for the way you treated me, the way you made me feel, it just reaffirms the fact that I should have started thinking about myself a lot sooner. You never cared about me, I was the man you wish you could be, and ladies...I was the man you thought about, your knight in shining armor. But I was replaceable, and you made that crystal clear to me. I wasn't special, I wasn't loved, I wasn't appreciated, I was USED! Well guess what? The well's run dry, and you're going to have to find another sucker to lure into your web of lies. Because me? I'm moving on...

DiBiase raises his Money in The Bank briefcase up to his face, looking at it, admiring it, smiling as he gazes into what opportunity lies within. The fans are not nearly as excited as he is by it, not any more anyways...but it doesn't dampen his mood in the least.


Inside this case, contains an opportunity...an opportunity at taking back, what was ripped away from me almost two years ago! Believe me, I've wanted to cash this in since the night I won it, but this isn't just about taking back what's mine...this is about arranging the perfect time, the perfect date, the perfect place for it to all go down...and I've found all of the above.

Before Ted can continue speaking, he's cut off by the sound of a familiar voice.

{???}
Have you now?

The man behind the voice is quickly revealed to be the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, Dean Ambrose, which causes Ted to look around the live audience in attendance, an area that is well documented to be the way Ambrose uses to make his way to the ring. After a few moments of searching quickly proving to be futile, Ambrose appears on the Titantron, causing a mixed reaction to emit from the crowd, in spite of Ted.



{Dean Ambrose}
Why don't you enlighten me and these people you've “turned your back on,” Ted? We both know this charade of yours won't last, because the second you cash in that Money in the Bank Briefcase and lose, you'll go running back to those people. Apologies and ass kissing can only get you so far, Ted, but I'm pretty sure you already know that.




Unlike the men before me, I'm not going to make that mistake. I'm not going to forgive them, I'm not going to forget, I'll always remember how these ingrates deserted me when I needed their support the most. But now, the only support I need, is me. I'm my own Posse, I don't need these people holding me back, I don't need to be under the tutelage of a one trick pony salesman, I just need me, myself, this briefcase, and I!

Looking down at his lowered arm that's holding The Money in The Bank briefcase, Ted flashes a smirk before continuing to address the man he'll potentially be cashing it in on.


Tell me Dean, when would you like your reign ended? I mean, I've pretty much made my mind up, but who knows, maybe you can convince me to make your suffering quick, but still painful. Not trying to tell you anything you don't already know, but man it's going to suck an awful lot when the very thing nobody saw you ever achieving, not even yourself, is short lived. But hey, at least it happened, right? And I'm sure there'll be no hard feelings, right? After all it's not personal, you just so happen to be the lucky bastard that gets to give me back what should have never left me in the first place. In fact, you should be honored, you get to help restore order in this company, you get to make things right, as a man of honor, I'm sure you understand.



Ambrose looks away from the camera, clearly unamused by Ted's “joke” and begins to remove his shades before continuing to speak.



{Dean Ambrose}
The only thing that will be short lived is your false sense of hope, you're putting too much faith in a briefcase, granted, it'll get you a shot at this World Heavyweight Championship, but a briefcase nonetheless. There were people just like you who tried to take something that belonged to me, they did everything within their power to take everything from me, and in the end, they failed. You will repeat history once again if and when you decide to cash in on me, because you and I both know that I won't be losing this championship any time soon.



{Dean Ambrose}
There was a guy not too long ago, it looked like he was set to become a World Heavyweight Champion, he had all the potential in the world, third generation “superstar,” just like you, former champion, just like you, he was Mr. Money in the Bank, just like you, he came back with a different mindset, just like you did, he put all his faith in a briefcase, just like you're doing now, hell, he even went to war with you multiple times, and when he decided to cash in, having everything going his way wasn't enough and he failed to become World Heavyweight Champion.



{Dean Ambrose}
I may not have your family's name, nor do I want it, I may not have been “bred” for the business, nor do I need to be, I wasn't raised like you were, I wasn't given my spot in this company, I fought tooth and nail to make it here, then not a month into my debut, I was “taken out” because the same people who signed me thought I didn't fit their mold for what a “model employee” should be. That didn't stop me, no, it only fueled the fire and little did those same people that hired then fired me know that Dean Ambrose would be the one with all the power in his possession in the end.



{Dean Ambrose}
Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it, and thanks to Don West, I saw things that were never there, I saw what I needed to do to become World Heavyweight Champion, and I'll be damned if I let you, of all people, be the one that puts an end to that. I have fought for too damn long and too damn hard to let this slip through my fingers, so whenever you decide to tempt fate and cash in that oh so precious briefcase of yours, know that I won't stop until one of us is six feet under, and know that all the unbearable pain you're going to feel, it will all be because you decided to go one on one with Dean Ambrose.




To this day, I wonder if people like you even understand the so called "jabs" you take at me. In case you were too busy mourning the loss of your little failed group, I spent the better part of last year clawing my way back into this company, and I did not do that so people like you could stand there, behind your camera, because you're not man enough to come out here and "tempt fate" by standing in front of me, and say that I've been given ANYTHING! Boo hoo, you've had a hard knock life, do you want everyone to feel bad for you? Why else would you constantly bring up what you've had to endure to be here? Huh? Tell me that! Because your words say that you didn't want this, that you didn't need that, but your eyes...they tell a different story. I see a man that wanted to be chosen, that wanted to be special, and that's why when Don West came around and picked you...you jumped at the chance to finally mean something to someone, to finally have a purpose. But little did you know your purpose wouldn't be to spearhead The West Side Army as it's champion like you now do, no everything has fallen into place exactly as it's supposed to. All that's left is for "fate" to give me the all important okay, and then I'll personally see to it that you awaken from this little "dream" of yours and find yourself back in the nightmare that is your life!


Silently watching on, the fans aren't exactly sure how to react, neither man is a crowd favorite by any means, so which is the lesser of the two evils? Some seem to boo Ted's last remark, siding with The World Heavyweight Champion because they're bitter over Ted's recent antics.



You're The World Heavyweight Champion, my fellow "Santa Bro" my partner in crime, literally...so get rid of this tired act of yours, and start acting like a man that actually stands a chance of walking away with that, when all is said and done.



{Dean Ambrose}
This coming from the guy who's “downward spiral” started because he couldn't beat Edge? The very same Edge who tries to remain relevant by aligning himself with Paul Heyman? Yeah, I'm the one that doesn't stand a chance walking out with the World Heavyweight Championship whenever you decide to cash in that briefcase of yours. It seems that brains are your strong suit, Ted, because is that really the way you want to talk to the man that's in control of your “match” tonight? You know, it's funny, the last guy that told me to meet him in the center of that ring ended up getting thrown off the stage by yours truly. So why don't we see if history repeats itself again?

With that said, Ambrose rises up from his seat and walks off camera, causing the live audience in attendance, in a semi shocking turn of events, to cheer for the World Heavyweight Champion, leaving Ted to look out towards the crowd in an attempt to locate Ambrose.

[JR]
Is he about to come out here?

[Michael Cole]
Fate's going to one of one of their sides, the question is who will it be?





[King]
He's coming!

The theme of the World Heavyweight Champion begins to play throughout the arena, the crowd firmly behind him as they cheer him on. Ted's eyes scan the crowd in an attempt to locate Ambrose, and after a few moments, it appears that he has failed in doing so. That is, until a small section of the crowd is erupts into cheers, causing Ted to quickly look in that direction. Lo and behold, Dean Ambrose, with the World Heavyweight Championship wrapped around his waist, is shown making haste down the steps, not wanting to waste a moment of getting his hands on Ted DiBiase, who is shown preparing himself for the impending fight that's about to go down.

[Michael Cole]
We might be about to witness an impromptu World Heavyweight Championship match!

[JR] Perhaps this was Ted's plan all along, lure the champion out here, for the "perfect" moment.



Ambrose makes it to the barricade and takes a chair from a fan, who gladly hands it over, but Ambrose doesn't seem to notice it. He places it near the barricade, almost using it to get over the barricade quicker but opts to stand on the chair with one foot while resting the other on the barricade, as the World Heavyweight Championship reflects the lights from high above the ring towards other sections of the crowd. Ambrose locks eyes with Ted, who is just egging him on, shouting at him to come into the ring if he wants to “tempt fate.”

[King]
The fans seem to have picked a side in this inevitable fight, and it looks like their money's on The World Heavyweight Champion Dean Ambrose.

[JR]
You've gotta believe that the reason Dean Ambrose is being cheered right now is because of the way Ted's acting. He's told his former DiBiase Posse members to go to hell in so many words, and now they're backing another, whether he wants their support or not.

[Michael Cole]
Which is completely childish!

Ambrose hops over the barricade, not paying any attention to the positive reaction he's received thus far, his only focus is Ted and putting him in his place. He quickly rolls into the ring and makes it to his feet in a moments notice, causing Ted to stop in his tracks as he didn't anticipate Ambrose to get up to his feet that fast. A brief stare down takes place as champion and potential challenger lock eyes as Ambrose begins to undo the World Heavyweight Championship from around his waist, and tosses it aside, signaling that he's ready for a fight.

[Michael Cole]
Get ready, something big is about to go down, I just know it!

[King]  
Ted's thrown his case, down, Dean's title is on the may beside it, if that's not symbolism I don't know what is!

Dean and DiBiase start to circle the squared battleground, keeping a closed hand in front of their faces, and the other extended out, preparing for a collision that neither of them have any intention of coming out the loser of. This isn't an official cash-in, not yet...it's a showdown, it's the calm before the storm, the crucial moment that'll decide if this is where Dean's reign ends, or if he'll survive until another night. Within the blink of an eye, Ted DiBiase and Dean Ambrose make a beeline right for each other, each making the first move within milliseconds of the other.  

[JR]
Get ready, we're about to see a rivalry take it's next step.

[King]
Would you just listen to these fans, they're actually rooting The World Heavyweight Champion on!

Proving to be more equal than any of them would care to admit, neither lands their first swinging blow, instead they each duck the attempted strikes and find themselves standing on opposites side again, this time their positions reversed from what they were just a minute ago. Now Dean stands on the side where Ted's case had been cast aside for this fight, and Ted's alongside The World title Ambrose first threw down. This movie still like moment doesn't last for long, they charge at each other, tying up this time, beginning a battle of strength, that neither seems to have the early edge in. But that's okay because that doesn't seem to be their plan at all, in fact they seem to have gone for the same go to act of deceit...for not even three seconds into powerful struggle, DiBiase and Dean raise their left and right foot up to stomp on the other person's foot, in order to quickly take charge, but only find themselves unexpectedly caught off guard when their feet end up stomping the mat instead and their eyes meet once more, as they're left to plot their next move.  

[King]  
You don't see this often, they're completely even...

[JR]
You can tell that they didn't expect this either, they evaded each other's fists, and now their low tactics in the name of getting in the first actual move in this fight, have also failed them.

Pushing off of each other, they separate, until Dean swings for a clothesline, that misses! Ted ducked down, rising back up, clearly proud of himself for once again being able to read The World Heavyweight Champion, and evade him. But that moment of pride soon goes away as Dean rebounds off the ropes, almost knowing Ted would duck the first time, and nearly takes his head off with a brutal clothesline to the back of the neck! The arena pops, excited that Dean was the one who finally got one over on Ted, and that it wasn't the other way around, but he just as Ted had done not even ten seconds before, starts to celebrate his efforts a little too much. So much so that it allows Ted the opportunity to sweep The Champion's leg out from under him and go on the attack! The fans aren't at all receptive to Ted's first true act of offense as they were for Dean, but he isn't worried about them, he starts to wail away at Ambrose, striking him with punch after punch, seemingly taking full control until Dean Ambrose shocks everyone in the building, especially Ted when he opens his mouth suddenly and chomps down on the fist DiBiase, leaving a teeth imprint and drawing blood all in the same process as Ted stopped himself in a "What the hell?" moment.  

[Michael Cole]
Now that's resourceful!

[JR]
Never in a traditional fight would you see a man just bite another man's fist, that's the type of offense that makes Dean Ambrose a highly dangerous man.

[King]  
He doesn't care what he has to do to turn the tide in his favor, even if it means taking a risk of his teeth being knocked down his throat just to get back in the fight.

Still in a state of disbelief, that his fist is now bleeding, and there's a set of teeth marks to go with his suddenly red fingers, Ted's moment of opportunity has passed, and now comes Dean's. He grabs Ted's now gushing hand, twisting it to control Ted just a for a second, so he can pull him down to the canvas with him and start laying into him with fist after fist of his own.

[JR]
This fight is just getting started, but if I were a betting man, all my chips would be on Dean Ambrose right about now.

[King]
The World Heavyweight Champion is a man that is always on his guard, once he takes control, it's hard to lose it...and things don't look good for Ted if you ask me.


Ambrose continues the onslaught by taking it to another level and mixing in forearm and elbow shots with his punches, keeping Ted guessing on how to block each ever changing attack. Seemingly content that he now has the upper hand, Ambrose pulls Ted up to his feet, placing his forearm on the side of his face before sliding it off, causing a searing pain to be inflicted on Ted's face. The gesture is repeated once more before Ambrose tosses Ted over to the turnbuckle to continue his assault.

[Michael Cole]
Dean Ambrose continuing to find the mark with everything he does, Ted's not doing so well, we might not see a new champion tonight after all.

A few closed fist rights later, Ted is able to turn the tide back in his favor and spins around, putting Ambrose back first into the turnbuckle and himself in control, switching the roles around. Ted begins unloading rights but that quickly proves to be a mistake as he is inflicting pain upon himself due to Ambrose's bite just a bit ago.


[King]
Ted's hammering away at Dean with his bloody fist, I'm not sure if that's a good idea, I'd think that'd make it worse!


[JR]
Ted knows that Dean's not above hurting himself to harm another, so if Ted's plan was to lure Ambrose out here to cash that contract in tonight, he's going to have to get on his level.

[Michael Cole]
Which is not exactly that much of a challenge for Ted, he's made a career of putting his body through hell and all in the sake of leaving his fights victorious, he's just gotta find that raw fire inside of him again tonight. If he does...god help Dean Ambrose because Ted's quite dangerous in his own right. Need I remind you all of how he managed to injure me without even touching me himself?

The split second that Ted tends to his hand proves to be his undoing, as he has now switched back places with Ambrose and is back first on the turnbuckle, being put in a defensive position. Ted tries to cover up but his attempt seems futile as Ambrose and now thrown in forearm shots and headbutts into the fray. With that seemingly dazing Ted enough, and almost putting himself in the same position after those headbutts, Ambrose begins to scale the turnbuckle and continues his relentless assault with closed right fists raining down onto Ted DiBiase, in which the crowd joins in, counting along with each punch.

[JR]
This arena is on it's feet for Dean Ambrose! Talk about a sentence I never expected to say in my life!

Ambrose goes for the final punch but it's stopped in its tracks due to Ted catching it. After a brief struggle for control, Ted has the advantage and is able to shove Ambrose away, sending him crashing onto the canvas, but Ambrose is able to use the momentum towards his advantage and rolls through it, quickly making it back up to his feet.


[King]
Ted pushes Ambrose off of him, now's the time to turn things around in his favor.

[Michael Cole]
Much to the dismay of The XWL Universe of course.

Ted flies out of the corner, with a clothesline attempt in mind, but Ambrose sees it coming and ducks under it, causing Ted to go flying into the ropes and ricochets back at Ambrose, who attempts going for Moxicity, his signature side slam, but Ted is able to spin out of it and lands behind Ambrose, locking him in the Million Dollar Dream.

[Michael Cole]
What a transition! Ted's looking "Silence" Dean Ambrose, and perhaps his reign itself!


[JR]
We've seen many a men fall victim to this move, will Dean Ambrose get added to that list?


[King]
Things don't look good for him, that's for damn certain!

But Ted isn't done there, he goes to lift him up into the air in an attempt to hit his finishing maneuver, The Silencer, but Ambrose is one step ahead and flings him forward, avoiding it completely. Ted isn't having any of it and charges back at Ambrose, who delivers a swift kick to the groin for his efforts, dropping the Million Dollar Son to the canvas with a thud.


[King]
Oh god I felt that one!

[Michael Cole]
After a kick like that I don't think Ted will be adding another addition to The DiBiase name any time soon!

[JR]
Good gawd almighty, would you just listens to this crowd, they're cheering Dean Ambrose for kicking Ted DiBiase in the family jewels! Hell hath no fury like a jilted DiBiase Posse.

On any other night, the live audience in attendance would have booed whoever was dastardly enough to resort to such tactics, but this night is different, they're actually cheering Ambrose for his actions, and for good reason. As Ted lies on the canvas, holding his nether regions, Ambrose backs himself into the nearest turnbuckle, setting up his all too familiar finishing maneuver, a move that has put away so many of XWL's Superstars in the past and he looks to add another name to the list.

[JR]
Uh-oh, if Ambrose hit's that, Ted can kiss his championship aspirations for this evening good bye!

[King]
Looks like he's about to regret luring The Champion out here.

Ambrose raises his arm into the air as his hand takes the shape of a gun, and slowly begins to mark his target for the Knee Trembler. Ambrose “pulls the trigger,” the false recoil causing his hand to flick upwards, before he makes a beeline towards his target in Ted DiBiase. Just before he could connect, Ted is able to roll out of the way, nearly sending Ambrose into the opposite turnbuckle, and goes right for his Money in the Bank Briefcase. He makes it to his feet, now wielding said briefcase, and charges at Ambrose, who has just turned around and ducked an incoming and guaranteed knockout shot, opting to take a page out of Ted's book and goes for the World Heavyweight Championship.

[Michael Cole]
Ted just tried to wallop Dean in the face with the case that could end his reign in a matter of a seconds, and the alert champion that Dean Ambrose is saw it coming, and is now going to beat Ted at his own game, by trying to knock him out with his title!

[King]
The fact that these two somehow, someway keep getting on the same page when trying to stop the other, is certainly an interesting outlook on how a championship match between them might be.

[JR]
Two equals in their own way, going at it for the richest prize in this industry? Sign me up folks, because whether it's tonight or another night, this is a fight I want to see in full.

Ted nearly crashes chest first into the turnbuckle but stops himself just in time and turns around into an incoming Ambrose, who, similar to Ted before him, has the World Heavyweight Championship in his hands. Ted ducks it and rolls out of the way, creating distance between both men. Both Ted and Ambrose stand across the ring from each other, Ted on a knee and Ambrose on his feet. As both men engage in a stare down, the live audience in attendance begins a  dueling “Let's go Ambrose, Screw you Ted” chant that causes both men to look towards the crowd and shout, “Screw you!” simultaneously.

[King]
Looks like Dean Ambrose isn't at all interested in the fact that they're rooting him on.

[Michael Cole]
Meanwhile Ted telling the fans that the feeling is all too mutual.


Ambrose takes a step forward to continue this battle between them but Ted is having none of it and rolls out of the ring, causing Ambrose to shout, “That's what I thought!” The theme of the World Heavyweight Champion begins to play as Ted begins making his way up the ramp and onto the stage while Ambrose stands tall in the center of the ring, raising his World Heavyweight Championship up into the air.



[JR]
Well that's that, Ted's not going to be cashing in tonight, and Dean Ambrose stands tall after Ted no longer had any interest in seeing this to the finish.

[Michael Cole]
You gotta wonder, if not tonight, when? When will Ted DiBiase cash in his guaranteed title shot?

[King]
I suppose we'll have to find another night, for now, all we can do is wonder how tonight's match between Ted DiBiase will end, given this fresh altercation between Ted and tonight's referee of that match, Dean Ambrose.


Ted disappears backstage for a moment, leaving Ambrose alone in the center of the ring. After a few seconds pass, Ted comes back out through the curtain, this time, with a microphone in hand.




Forgive me, but in the midst of our little scuffle there, I completely forgot...I never told you when I've decided to cash this in, did I? How rude of me, I mean...I bet you're just dying to know when your reign comes to an end, aren't you? Gosh, you know...I'm just so darn inconsiderate. Of course you want to know, so you can appreciate what little time you have left with The World Heavyweight Championship.

The "threatened" champion scoffs at Ted, then shouts "Just get on with it!" .




But the answer has always been BEHIND YOU!

Dean Ambrose seems puzzled for only a second, for as soon as he turns his head, and spots The Final Stand VI sign, he knows exactly what Ted's talking about. The fans look to the sign as well, the excitement starting the build, while Ted isn't at all a favorite anymore, the fact that they could wittiness Ted's plan of becoming World Heavyweight Champion, fail...on the grandest stage of them all, gives them a little incentive to be happy about his choice.


[Michael Cole]
Wait, Ted's cashing in for The Main-Event of Final Stand?!

[JR]
Bah gawd, that's the biggest way that contract can be used!





That's right, I'm using this, to take what I deserve! The Main-Event of Final Stand, the very thing that has been kept me for the last three years, is FINALLY mine! I will headline the sixth anniversary of Final Stand, and I will do it against YOU for The World Heavyweight Championship. You should feel special, because fate itself has chosen you to be THE guy, that'll give me back, what'll NEVER leave me again!


With that said, Ted lowers the microphone, a smirk appearing on his face after that blockbuster announcement as Ambrose stands in the center of the ring, his arms extended while wielding the World Heavyweight Championship in one and is heard shouting, “Why wait until Final Stand?” Ted replies by shaking his head before raising his Money in the Bank Briefcase high into the air, as Ambrose does the same in the ring with the World Heavyweight Championship.

[JR]
There you have it folks, we've got ourselves one hell of a Main-Event for Final Stand, Ted DiBiase versus Dean Ambrose, and it's for The World Heavyweight Championship!

[King]
It'll be the Sixth Anniversary, and woo boy will it be big, especially with a Main-Event like that!

[Michael Cole]
It's The DiBiase Posse, versus The West Side Army, can one man take down an entire army? We'll find out in just five weeks at Final Stand!

With The Main Event of the biggest Pay-Per-View of the year now being set in stone, for the first time ever, Dean Ambrose will take on Ted DiBiase for the richest prize in the company on the line: The World Heavyweight Championship. The last image shown is both champion and challenger locking eyes while holding up their respective possessions.

XWL's Breakdown returns from the commercial break and we see Brie and Nikki Bella, two divas who we haven't seen since the week before Uprising.



[Brie Bella]: I'm so excited Nikki, just about a year ago, I was competing in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match for a chance to become Miss Money In The Bank, I was so close but I came up short. Now, one year later, I have the opportunity to actually redeem myself with this Best of Five Series.

[Nikki Bella]: I'm very happy for you Brie, you honestly deserve it. It's obvious you should've walked out the winner of the match last year but everyone was out to get you. The jealousy in this Divas division is ridiculous. Michelle on the other hand... well

[Brie Bella]:  Well what Nikki? Since she's been back, she's been pretty impressive and I can see she wants that Divas Title as much as I do.

[Nikki Bella]:  Eh... I don't exactly see what you're saying. It's definitely the same ole' Michelle that we've known for years now. She's fallen off the face of Earth how many times and just reappears at any given moment. I'm not understanding management's logic but it's understandable, not everyone can think like myself. It's no secret that putting you and I against each other for a spot in Miss Money In The Bank would've made Breakdown a whole lot more interesting but the fans watching have to settle for a mediocre series.

[Brie Bella]: Are you trying to call me a mediocre wrestler?

[Nikki Bella]: Of course not Brie.

[Brie Bella]: Maybe you'd be in my position had you actually worked as hard as me.

[Nikki Bella]: Let's not even start this Brianna. Anyways, as I was saying, I stand by my belief that I should be in Michelle's place tonight. Just look at me compared to Michelle. Not only do I have a better look but umm... I know a lot more words than "hun", "sweetie" and "y'all".

Suddenly we can hear someone chuckle lightly. The camera pans around as we see Michelle McCool on the other side of the room getting her hair and makeup done. She gazes at Nikki and Brie and speaks



Michelle McCool
Well, hey y'all, how are you girls? It's been so long. I'm just sitting here getting my hair done and I couldn't help but overhear y'all were talking about lil ole me. Listen, I know we haven't exactly seen eye to eye in the past but, I thought we could move on from what happened. After all, it was a long time ago. What'd you say Hun? We've both been at the top of this company before so why don't we put our differences aside and show that audience out there why we should be in that match. What'd y'all say about that?

Michelle smiles as the camera cuts back to Nikki who scoffs



[Brie Bella]: Honestly Michelle, there's no hard feelings. It's 2014, I'm looking forward to new beginnings and I know you're looking forward to the same. You and I have put on some great matches over the years and I can't wait to go out there and do exactly that in the Best of Five Series for a spot in a match we failed to win last year.

Nikki interjects....

[Nikki Bella]: How you earned a spot... I have no cl....

Brie talks over Nikki and nudges her...

[Brie Bella]: Anyway Michelle, we're making history with this series and at the end of this series, I know there will be a deserving competitor in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.

Michelle sighs and looks towards Nikki before speaking



Michelle McCool
It's really hard for y'all to be supportive of your sister isn't it Nikki? We get it you're talented and you think it's the funniest thing ever that we have to fight it out for a spot, but to me Hun, at least we're willing to fight for our things. What have y'all done lately? I think we'll make this a great one Brie. I'll see y'all out there and best of luck. Remember this is a best of five so lets show everyone that there's still ways of making an impact before "the big one"

Michelle finishes speaking and goes to walk off. The cameras turn back to Nikki and Brie, The Bella Twins, who don't look too happy.



[Nikki Bella]: Is she serious?! What have I done? I was the 2013 Queen of the Ring. Did she even qualify? I won a Slammy last year, I was practically the Diva of the Year even though the fans didn't see it that way yet she has some nerve to tell me what have I done?

[Brie Bella]: Calm down Nicole, it's just that your attitude isn't the...

[Nikki Bella]: Isn't what?

[Brie Bella]: You aren't very likeable...

The bell rings to signal the end of the match as Chris Jericho's theme blasts through the arena. Jericho stays on his knees after being taken to the limit by Jeff Hardy in what was a spectacular match-up.



Jericho raises his arm in victory before getting to his feet and looking down on Jeff Hardy who is slowly rolling out of the ring feeling the effects of the finish. The smirk across Chris Jericho's face says it all as he demands the referee gives him a microphone.  The official quickly complies with Jericho's orders, knowing full well what a dangerous man Jericho can be.


[Chris Jericho]
This right here proves I am everything I say I am, I am still the best in the world at everything I do. I proved it at Uprising and I proved it again here tonight. D-Generation X is no more, Shawn Michaels is no more and soon enough Triple H will join him. Last week Triple H proved he doesn't care about his family, he doesn't care about Shawn.. he only cares about being in the spotlight. I gave him a chance to sit at home and never come back, to quit while he could but he had to come crawling back. He made a mistake and he knows it by not being out here right now. I will put an end to Triple H for once and for all....
























The theme of the Showstopper hits across the arena! The audience all jump to their feet in an instant huge cheer as Jericho looks on the stage in shock!  The crowd are electric!

[JR]
CAN IT BE?

[Michael Cole]
Of course it isn't!  We all saw the end of Shawn Michaels' career!  He's done!  Get over it!

Moments pass with the theme still playing around the arena, Jericho is asking the ringside crew what is happening, the crowd are still all on their feet cheering, hoping, wondering if HBK is really here.....HE IS! Shawn walks out from behind the certain, not in typical fashion but a slow intensity-filled walk as the crowd once again let out a huge cheer! Jericho is frozen in shock once again as The Heartbreak Kid locks a cold, hatred-filled gaze onto the man who almost ended his career at Uprising in one of the most brutal assaults in XWL history.

[JR]
IT IS! SHAWN MICHAELS IS BACK!

[Jerry Lawler]
And listen to this reaction!  We all thought Shawn was done!  We all thought Jericho had ended his career! But there he is!



Shawn stands on top of the ramp, with a bandage covering the corner of his eye still showing damage from the sickening attack at Jericho's hands. HBK just stares at Jericho for what seems like an eternity.



The camera pans back to show Jericho rooted to the spot in amazement and shock, wondering what to do...stay and fight or run but before he has chance to decide, HBK removes his hat and throws it to the ground all fired up.



Shawn sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring as the crowd goes wild! Jericho unfreezes and instantly tries to attack HBK but Shawn counters it with ease and takes down Jericho!



[JR]
BAH GAWD!  MICHAELS ON JERICHO!  MICHAELS!  SHAWN MICHAELS IS LIVID!  

Shawn lands lefts and rights as Jericho does his best to cover up, but this is Shawn Michaels like we've never seen him before.  Shawn has a pure burning hatred in his eyes as he gains some retribution for both his and his best friend's suffering at the hands of the conniving Canadian. Jericho tries his best to escape but Michaels isn't letting him and keeps him right where he wants him! Shawn drags him back and continues to land shots to the face of Jericho before getting to his feet and standing over Jericho...HBK is all fired up! He stands back and waits for Jericho to get to his feet as the crowd goes ballistic.....SWEET CHIN MUSIC! Jericho falls to the mat in a heap as HBK rips his shirt open before standing over the fallen Jericho...crotch chop!

[Jerry Lawler]
I can barely hear myself think!

[JR]
This crowd is on their feet!

HBK then stands in center of the ring and points towards towards the ramp in typical fashion......




[JR]
THE GAME! THE GAME! THE GAME IS HERE!

The crowd again become unglued and almost blow the roof off the building once again as the theme of the other DX member "The Game" Triple H hits.  Shawn continues pointing with one arm over the other with his back arched in the Kliq fashion as his best friend appears, sharing a similar look of intensity worn by HBK during his own entrance.  The Cerebral Assassin surveys the scene and the handiwork of his partner before beginning his descent down the entrance ramp.  Many of the fans lift their arms locked into an "X" to show their support for DX.  Many raise their voices as loud as they possibly can and begin chanting and screaming for their heroes.

[Jerry Lawler]
Well, it looks like Jericho's night is about to get a whole lot worse...

[JR]
Look at these fans!  Listen to their chants!  DX has a pulse! The heart of DX is still beating!  DX lives!  DX LIVES!

Triple H enters the ring and his expression softens as his eyes meet those of his best friend.  The two share a glance before quickly returning to the matter at hand.  The Game kneels down at the broken mess, formerly known as Chris Jericho.  He raises the spiky-haired head up slightly, and with a mic in hand begins to speak in a confident, yet malicious tone, almost of disgust that he has to be this close to the man he hates so much.

[Triple H]
Jericho... I just met with my in-laws and guess what?  At Final Stand... you and I are going to end this... once... and for all!

The crowd goes insane at the announcement.  But Triple H isn't done there.

[Triple H]
You think you can walk around doing whatever the hell you want to whoever you please.  You think you can kill DX?  I've said it before and I'll say it again.  DX is immortal.  DX is evergreen.  After everything you did to Shawn he still managed to come back!  After everything you have put me through, I'm still here!  At Final Stand Jericho, it's time for you to have a taste of your own medicine.  You want to make our lives hell?  I'm going to make your life hell... that is...


Triple H utters his final words with such ferocity and intent rarely seen throughout his career...



[Triple H]
HELL IN A CELL!

The noise is incredible as the match stipulation is announced.  The fans are on their feet roaring in pure excitement and anticipation at Jericho getting exactly what he deserves.  Shawn manages to flash a smirk knowing full well what his pal is capable of inside the demonic structure of Hell In A Cell as HHH roughly slams Jericho's face into the canvas before rising to his feet.  With a fire in his eyes and with a clear purpose in mind, he looks to his battered friend and they each raise each other's arms up high as the DX music begins to play.



The fans take great delight at once again hearing the music of DX, knowing they came very close to never hearing it again.  The camera focuses several angles on both Shawn and Hunter, and their scarred yet purposeful expressions.  This was just a little payback.  The true redemption comes at Final Stand.

[Jim Ross]
There we have it folks.  The stage is set.  With this announcement, it's obvious to me that in the Devil's Playground Jericho will be playing a dangerous "Game".  One which he may never recover from.  After putting D-Generation X through hell, it's now time for Jericho himself to face the true test of his own self-confidence and ability against one of the greatest competitors of all time in one of the most brutal matches in XWL history.

[Jerry Lawler]
If you thought this rivalry was personal or violent, think again.  It just got turned up a few notches.  Everything is in place for a match to remember at Final Stand.  I can't wait!

The screen then fades away to a commercial break as Breakdown continues...

XWL's Breakdown returns from the commercial break and we head back to the arena where we hear the music of the Shaman of Sexy, John Morrison, playing throughout the arena. The camera shows an overhead view of the crowd before giving us a close up view on John Morrison who doesn't seem to be expressing much emotion.



Boos can be heard throughout the arena but John's expression doesn't alter. Slowly but surely, the crowd dies down and John begins to speak.



[John Morrison]: Bully Ray? Really? Bully Ray? So that's what I'm worth to this company now. It's as if my whole Intercontinental Championship reign never happened, like someone erased it from the record books because clearly, I'm in a position that I certainly don't deserve to be in. Has the company forgotten who I am? Doubt it. Did they accidentally book me in this match this week? Probably. Do they actually think I actually compete in this match tonight? Not a chance. Just like I didn't compete last week, I'll be doing the same this week until my worth is recognized. I don't deserve this at all, I was champion for almost a year, a year on top of this company and instead of continuing to push newer stars like me, guys like Shawn Michaels and Triple H are front and center.



[John Morrison]: Week in and week out, I worked hard for this company, I took a title that was beaten down, broken, that had no prestige thanks to people like Chavo Guerrero and Michael McGillicutty and I brought it back to greatness. So here I am, in this ring, truthfully asking management why am I still around if I'm not going to be used to the best of my abilities? Sure, I can put on the greatest match you've ever seen with anyone in this company but if people who haven't worked a day in their lives are receiving the opportunities that I should be getting, what's the point of working around here? I could easily take my talents elsewhere.



[John Morrison]: Sadly, it looks like if Stephanie and Vince don't shape up this company to showcase its greatest asset, they'll be losing the total package. How many people do you know that have the look, the in-ring skill, the charisma, the athleticism, and so much more. Look at me, I'm just everything a company could ask for, disagree if you want, it's not like your opinion matters, you are the ones sitting behind the barricades. Vince...Stephanie... like I've said before, you don't know what you have until it's gone. 

With that, John Morrison places the microphone on the canvas and makes his way towards the ring ropes. He steps through the ring ropes and the last picture we see is John Morrison heading up the ramp and into the back. One has to wonder if John will stick around despite being unhappy with his current position. Breakdown heads to the next scene...

I guess R-Truth beat JTG? (We couldn't get on at the same time until Thursday night, where I sent him a message saying to do our match with one or two invites to the game. 30 minutes later, he deleted me from his friends list, still not replying to me. Such a shame)

We're taken backstage to the sight of Sheamus walking down the hallways, looking angry.......as usual. The cameraman walks his way up to The Celtic Warrior to ask him a few questions.

Cameraman:
Sheamus, if you wouldn't mind, I just want to ask you a few questions regarding last week and this week.......

Sheamus:
And why would I want to answer any of your foolish questions, peasant?

Cameraman:
My apologies, but the XWL Universe has been burning with a few questions, and I just want to get a few words from you.

Sheamus:
Fine. Give me a few questions, shoot.

Cameraman:
Last week, you and Rey Mysterio fought in a hellacious slugfest. It seemed pretty even towards the end of the match, when suddenly R-Truth attacked him from out of nowhere, giving you the perfect opportunity to capitalize. Did you plan this assault at all?



Sheamus:
Listen here big shot, this wasn't an "even" match by any means. I went out there, and I did what I did best; I kicked Rey's arse from left to right, top to bottom! No questions asked, The Celtic Warrior made Rey look like a ragdoll! And as far as R-Truth attacking him, I didn't see anything! What? How are you supposed to see anything when your face is all bloodied up, huh? How are you going to explain that one to me, please enlighten me with your o so great knowledge, wise cameraman!

Cameraman:
I guess I can't.......

Sheamus:
Exactly. Got another question for me, fella?

Cameraman:
Uh, tonight you face off against Roman Reigns, the number one contender for Antonio Cesaro's United States Championship. He has proven, much like yourself, to be very dominant recently, taking down every challenger that has come across him. Any thoughts leading up to this match?



Sheamus:
Thoughts? It's Roman Reigns! You really think I'm scared by a man who hides behind a bulletproof vest? Of course not! Let me tell you something here, everyone has failed before me simply because they have not learned something about this man........Like a zombie, all you have to do is aim for the head.......

Sheamus, with his right hand, uses his thumb, index, and middle finger to make a pistol shape, and he slowly raises his hand toward the cameraman, making beeping sounds. The closer the hand is to the cameraman, the louder and the more frequent the beeping becomes. The cameraman is shaking slightly as Sheamus points the hand right at his head, then.......



Sheamus:
Boom......Headshot. Roman Reigns has not felt that Brogue Kick into his cranium, and fella, I'd be more than happy to kick his head clean off, because The Celtic Warrior never retreats and he never surrenders to a pissant like him! I hope you're still able to take a breath of fresh air at your title match when I'm through with ya Reigns, because after tonight, you're going to be breathing through a tube! This interview is over.

And with that, Sheamus walks away, and the segment fades to black......

As Breakdown returns from the commercial break Madison Eagles to stood by backstage as the cameras start to roll and she starts to talk into the camera



Madison Eagles: As everyone already knows last week I found out that I was going to be entered into the Miss Money in the Bank ladder match at Final Stand. Again, for the second year running, and I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone just what happened last year at Final Stand V, and this year it's going to be no different. See that's just another thing that separates me to everybody else who's in that match, I've already done it. Neither AJ or Alicia Fox can tell anyone that they've gone into the Miss Money in the Bank ladder match and won it. And neither can Brie Bella or Michelle McCool for that matter, and just so it's clear Michelle and Brie both lost the Miss Money in the Bank match last year, and whichever one of them wins that best of five series to get into it again this year, is just going to lose to me for a second year running. Brie should know that better than anyone since after I beat her sister Nikki for my title last year for two of them disappeared for a few months, unfortunately to be heard from again. But I have to say it just wasn't the same around here without hearing those two's shrieking voices all around the arena, no it was much better.



Madison Eagles: And of course tonight I have the privilege of facing t=two of my Final Stand opponents AJ and Alicia Fox and the current champion Layla in a falls count anywhere, two of the three falls... fatal-four way match... I'm sure there's something else I'm forgetting too but that's pretty much the jist of it. Seriously though?  If that's the way things are going around here why not make put a cage around the ring in an empty arena too, come on now, who thought this made any sense? I mean I appreciate that Stephanie McMahon is letting me beat two people tonight, but why ad the third person? That's just a choice I don't want to make, who don't I pin tonight? There's AJ, who stole my championship from me a few months ago, and believe me I have been watching very closely and I will make sure she knows who's number one around here tonight. And well I can't forget the Diva' champion now can I? At least come the end of Final Stand she won't be the champion anymore when I get my hands on the Miss Money in the Bank briefcase for the second time, so maybe I'll give the entire world a sneak preview of what's in store for them in a few weeks time and pin Layla right in the middle of the ring, and Alicia Fox too, who I'm sure will be around.



Madison Eagles: Believe it or not though, on any other night I would relish a match like this, give me an opponent to beat and I will beat them. Give more two and I will beat them both, throw as many diva's at me and they will fall at my feet, but that's not what I want tonight, the only person I want tonight is Trish Stratus. Now it's not any secret that I want Trish in the middle of the ring, Stephanie knows it, Trish knows it, everybody knows that that's the match I want, and I will get that match. I'm not going to sit around forever hoping Trish is hand delivered to me, I'm not going to play the game how it's meant to be played. Trish Stratus stabbed me in the back, and trust me I will return the favour when I kick her in the head and leave her laying int he ring the very second I get the chance to do it. I will do whatever I have to do for Trish to know why I'm the one woman you don't want to cross, the one woman you don't mess with, why I'm the best diva going today, and that Trish's days as the best are long and gone, and when I'm gone she'll be wishing it was only her arm in a cast.

As Madison stares intently down the lens of the camera it slowly fades out to black ending the segment

[JR]
AJ's done it, what a huge victory!

[Michael Cole]
You've got that right, and the biggest part of this win tonight, is the fact that she's just beaten The Divas Champion.

[King]
At the end of last week's Main-Event AJ was "Lay'd Out" and fell victim to The Champion's neckbreaker, but that loss motivated her to pull off a very impressive win.


Rising to her feet, laughing hysterically at the fact that she just took back her win against the woman who beat her last week, AJ steps away from Layla savoring her victory in this match.




Madison Eagles is holding her nose after that stiff knee AJ delivered to her just seconds before Layla fell to the same fate. She seems to have caught it a bit worse though as she's rolled off to the side to be checked on by a ringside physician. Alicia's holding her spine after being dropped on a ladder in one of the worst ways imaginable. While Layla's rolled onto her stomach, holding her face, a bit dazed trying to shake off the after effects of AJ's shining wizard. She's not given a chance to though because AJ sees her moving, and instantly decides she wants to send a message to not only her fellow participants in The Miss Money In The Bank match, but The Divas Champion herself. She quickly latches onto Layla, applying The Black Widow!  


[Michael Cole]
AJ's got The Black Widow locked in!

[JR]
This is uncalled for, she's already won, this is just adding insult to injury!


[King]
Hey! There, look over there, who's that?!



The camera quickly switches views, revealing Layla's number one contender and opponent at Final Stand running around the ring to aid her former United Queendom teammate.




[JR]
It's Paige, quick get AJ off of her!

Paige runs over, quickly flooring AJ with a clothesline that knocks her off of Layla and sends her flying back with a hard thud. Paige starts to grab Layla's arm, to help her up, but before she can....Alicia Fox comes from behind with a double axe handle to the back flooring her!


[King]
Alicia Fox getting a bit of revenge for Uprising, she had a chance to become the number one contender but fell to Paige instead.

[Michael Cole]
That's one rivalry with a lot of bad blood still to this very night.


She throws her hands up, as if she's proud of herself, but then just as quickly as she does, Layla finds her way back to her feet, spins Fox around and sends her spinning back around and then some with a fierce slap across the face! "Leave my friend alone!" she screams, and just when it looked like Fox would retaliate, AJ beats her to the punch grabbing Layla's hair and begins to get in a scuffle with her, the two not done fighting even though this match is over. While Fox and Paige begin to do the same, renewing a rivalry that never seems to end. The chaos continues until...





[Stephanie McMahon]
Ladies, ladies, LADIES! Now I can appreciate a good cat fight as much as the next person, I've been apart of many myself, but now is not the time. AJ you and Layla share a history that dates back years, clearly there's unfinished business here with the two of you each scoring victories against each other the last two weeks...and then there's Alicia Fox and Paige, another rivalry that not only has told it's story, it's added new chapters just when you think it's over. So tell you what, I'm going to make a match next week, not just any match...a reunion.




[Stephanie McMahon]
Now several months back, before I had the pleasure of being your General Manager, a stipulation was placed on a match, there the losing team would disband...and unfortunately it lead to the end of The United Queendom...never again were you team...until now! I didn't make that ban, and I don't have to enforce it. So next week, it's going to be The United Queendom, Layla and Paige....versus two of the women that could leave Final Stand as Miss Money in The Bank,  AJ Lee and Alicia Fox!


[JR]
The United Queendom is back together, next week!


[Michael Cole]
Talk about a reunion none of us thought we'd ever see, they proved to be a formidable threat together, and now AJ Lee & Alicia Fox get to have their chance at defeating The Divas Championship Match of Final Stand.


[King]
Will The Brits find the magic they once had together next week, or has this "Queendom" ship sailed?


All four women take turns staring at the other, before we fade away.

The fans gasp as Cena propels DiBiase into the air, showing off a tremendous amount of strength in spite of his injuries. As the almost helpless Ted crashes back down, John catches him across his shoulders setting up The Attitude Adjustment!


[JR]
Bah gawd, he caught him, Ted's about to have his new found attitude adjusted!

[King]
Would you just listens to this audience, they're begging for Cena to slam him down!

[Michael Cole]
Meanwhile The World Heavyweight Champion seems more than ready to count the pin against his newly revealed challenger at Final Stand.


The very second that Ted lands on Cena's shoulders, he starts to panic, jabbing his elbow down in a repeated motion straight to the injured arm of John Cena! He does his best to keep hold of the potential next World Heavyweight Champion, but Ted's intent on getting free from this predicament, and after the seventh straight shot to his arm, Ted's efforts pay off and he lands on his feet directly behind Cena.


[King]
Right to injured arm, Ted's just avoided The Attitude Adjustment he so desperately needs!


Without wasting a second of the opening Ted's found, he quickly rolls Cena up from behind and Dean a first hesitates to start the count....but then soon drops to the mat and does his job.


1!
2!
3!


[JR]
Wait a second, what?!


[King]
That looked pretty fast to me!

[Michael Cole]
Don't be ridiculous, he went at a perfectly acceptable pace.


[King]
To who? You?

[JR]
That's a fast count if I've ever seen one!




As Ted's theme comes over the speakers, the fans immediately boo in anger, not only for the fact that Ted won, but because of Dean Ambrose's actions when the time came to count the final pin. Ted rises to his feet, proud of himself, not even noticing that the pin was a little quicker than it should have been. Dean smirks as he watches Ted celebrate, nobody thought he'd call the match down the middle, especially not after his altercation with his opponent at Final Stand....and they were right, they just had one detail wrong, who he'd be unfair against. While the fans continue to roar, Dean grabs Ted by his wrist and raises his arm in victory.




[Michael Cole]
These people are only booing because Dean didn't screw DiBiase, they all expected it, hell they wanted it...and now that the intended roles ended up being reversed, suddenly they're against it.

[JR]
I think that's reaching a little far there, Michael.


[King]
Why did Dean do that though?

[Michael Cole]
Because nobody would expect it, not even Ted himself, and considering in five weeks he'll be making his first defense against that young man whose hand he's raising right now...it's always good to keep people guessing.


[JR]
I certainly didn't expect this outcome, but you might have a point. He did the opposite of what anyone thought he would, and in turn he's made Ted think a little bit.



Ted pulls his arm away from Dean, the two locking eyes for a moment. The World Heavyweight Champion mouths "Congratulation" in a far from sincere way, while the fans continue to express their disdain over Dean fast counting John Cena.


[King]
Well if Dean wanted to put a stop to the sudden support he's receiving from these fans, this was the way to do it.


[Michael Cole]
It's just like Ted said, these fans are fickle. Not even two hours ago they were cheering Dean in spite of Ted, and now that he's not taken this opportunity to screw Ted in his return to the ring...suddenly they don't like him again.


Ted starts to walk away, perhaps to continue his celebration, but as he does that leaves Dean to keep his focus on him...resulting in...




(Because the biggest face in The WWE over the last 10 years doesn't have a fansite, while Eva Marie has 3.)


[JR]
Cena with The AA!

[King]
John Cena getting a bit of payback on Dean Ambrose for that blatant fast count.


DiBiase gets the hell out of dodge, knowing he might be next, so he drops down rolling under the ropes to the outside...Cena's head turns in Ted's direction, not at all finished him yet. "Come On!" he screams, motioning for Ted to get back in the ring with his good arm. DiBiase shakes his head only responding with a "You should probably turn around!" before laughing....and with the mood changing in the arena right about the time Ted says that...Cena turns around...






[Michael Cole]
RKO! RKO! RKO!

[JR]
Orton's struck again!

[King]
What the hell is his deal, this is the second week in a row he's RKO'd John Cena!



Randy throws his hands up, standing over the laid out John Cena, proud of his work, while the focus changes back to Ted DiBiase who has made his way all the way onto the stage, keeping out of the chaos that's broken out since the math ended.





He starts to point at himself, shouting over and over "I'm the Next World Heavyweight Champion!" until he finally stops, and remains silent for the rest of the time as he points to The Final Stand VI  sign and we head to a commercial break.

Scott Hall def. The Rock after an Outsider's Edge.

Wade Barrett is shown roaming the halls with a smug look on his face, grinning to himself for some reason.  Renee Young rushes onto the scene with a mic in hand to get a few words from the former bare knuckle and World champion.



[Renee Young]
Wade!  For weeks now you've been delivering all kinds of "bad news" to the XWL roster and the XWL Universe, but tonight for some reason you've been oddly withdrawn and quiet...



[Wade Barrett]
Withdrawn?  Quiet?  Renee... you're all mixed up.  Thanks for your concern, but I'm just fine.  In fact, I'm better than I've ever been.  And I was hardly going to miss an opportunity to visit a city nicknamed "The Struggle".  I mean, I didn't even know such a place existed.  When I saw the XWL schedule I thought it was some kind of a mistake, or a practical joke... but I was wrong.  "The Struggle" really does exist.  But that's America for you.  Everything is backwards and makes little sense.  Just look at football as a prime example.  Back in England, it's a glorious sport played by premiere athletes with a worldwide audience.  But here in America, for some unfathomable reason you've renamed it "soccer" and labelled your poor version of rugby with over-sized men in body armor "football".  It's disgraceful.  The logic behind it honestly baffles me because in your version of "football" you hardly use your feet.



[Wade Barrett]
But I think we're getting off topic here Renee.  After all, professional wrestling is the true spectacle in sports and entertainment.  As much as I love myself some football, I love cracking skulls in the ring so much more.  And tonight, I've been deprived of that opportunity by once again being forced onto the sidelines and I'm expected to remain in the backstage area because of circumstances completely out of my control.  Christian knew he didn't stand a chance when he saw that I was his opponent tonight, so word has it, he's feigned illness and caught the first flight back to Canada to spare his blushes.  And who can blame him?



[Wade Barrett]
But don't worry Renee... because next week... I've got some good news!  Not only will I be competing in a match-up even if I have to go out and find my own opponent in whatever cesspit of a city we end up in... but I have an announcement that will propel the Barrett Barrage to the next level.  It may have had a stuttering start but believe me Renee, after next week, I'll be comfortably coasting along the path of success.



Barrett grins to himself, imagining something only he knows, maybe the announcement he has for next week.  Renee looks puzzled as he begins to walk away, before the "#BadNewsBarrett" logo fills the screen before the screen fades to black for a commercial break.








(Sorry it probably sucks.  After about 32 edits I finally managed to get this up to a readable standard.  I'll make up for it next week.  It's been a hectic week and a half.)

Breakdown comes back from its commercial break to the lovely Alicia Fox, who's changed into street clothes after the brutal 2/3 Falls Count Anywhere Match, bruises evident on her body.

[Interviewer]
Alicia, just wanted to get your thoughts on the return of The United Queendom next week?



Alicia simply sighs in frustration.

[Alicia Fox]
I don't care about Paige and Layla reuniting. I don't care about being forced to team with XWL's resident psychopath either, okay? Layla and Paige are going to get the buttwhoopin' that they both deserve. Layla and Paige have had it in for me since their little buddy Kaitlyn got attacked back at Uprising, and I was thrust into the spotlight, which, by the way, was a spotlight I truly deserved for being the best Diva in this whole company.



[Alicia Fox]
But regardless, at Uprising, Layla screwed me over so she could face her little bestest buddy at Final Stand VI. And that makes me so...steamin' mad! But...it doesn't matter. Because next week, I'll destroy both Layla, and Paige. And AJ...you best stay out of my way, alright? Because, you little freak...if you cause me to lose to those two clowns, I won't think twice about knocking that crazy brain out of your crazy body with a ladder at Final Stand. Ta-ta!

Alicia smirks, walking away with a huff as XWL cuts to a hype package for the diva that just graced our screen.

Breakdown returns from commercial break to the sight of Stephanie McMahon exiting her office, locking it behind her before turning around to leave. As soon as she's out of sight, Christopher Daniels jumps out of a darkened closet besides the office, the camera pans in and shows Kazarian still standing inside the closet.

Frankie Kazarian
I know that we don't want to get caught here, but do you really have to jump like that? This isn't the movies you know, you're only going to end up making more noise, plus I think you might have knocked over a bottle of ammonia.

Kaz takes a quick sniff of the air and starts to cough.

Frankie Kazarian
Yep, that's definitely Ammonia.

Kaz steps out of the closet, knocking a metal bucket with his foot in his rush to get out, a sharp and somewhat loud 'clang' rings through the hallway, the two remain still and silent, waiting for a couple of seconds to pass by before Kaz makes his move again and exits the closet.

Frankie Kazarian
Alright, maybe jumping was a better idea.

Christopher Daniels
Let's check for cameras first.

The duo scans the room looking for cameras, not being able to find any. Kaz turns to Daniels and gives him a nod, letting him know that they're all clear. Suddenly, Daniels turns around and gapes, realizing something's wrong.

Christopher Daniels
Wait, there's one right there!

Frankie Kazarian
What?

Daniels points towards the screen, and therefore, the viewers watching at home.

Christopher Daniels
Right there!

Frankie Kazarian
I don't see anything, I think that Ammonia is getting to you.

Christopher Daniels
I guess you're right, moving on. You remember the plan?

Frankie Kazarain
Sure, why not.

Christopher Daniels
Alright, I'll go over it one more time. We sneak into Stephanie McMahon's office by using means of breaking and entering. We hide in her closet until she gets up and leaves, which is followed up by us... coming out of the closet? Anyway, after we're out, we scan the room and locate her cellular phone. After locating said cellular phone, we scan the contacts and find Vinny Mac's number. We become acquaintances of Vinny Mac, and he'll hook us up with some title shots! We'll steal the show at Final Stand!  

Frankie Kazarian
Right, I think I've got it, but just in case, tell me again, I wasn't listening.

Christopher Daniels
Oh, they call me the brain and you the brawn for a reason. Basically, just follow me lead and we'll be getting some title shots at Final Stand.

Frankie Kazarian
I'm just messing with you man, you know I always listen to you, especially when you've come up with a fool proof plan like this one!

Kaz taps Daniels on the shoulder then heads towards the door to Stephanie's office, he moves the handle down and pushes the door, but it isn't opening. Kaz takes a quick glance back at Daniels before turning his attention back to the door, this time using all of his weight, he pushes against the door, but it won't open.

Frankie Kazarian
It's locked...

Christopher Daniels
Hold on, let me try.

Daniels takes a few steps back, measuring the door. He wipes his chin and sprints, throwing his body against the door. It refuses to budge and he bounces off, nearly falling over until Kaz stops him.

Christopher Daniels
How paranoid does a person have to be to lock the door when they go to the bathroom?!

Frankie Kazarian
Yeah you'd have to be pretty paranoid to do that... Wait, Chris.. How do you know where she went

Christopher Daniels
I... uh... I took a lucky guess! Let's focus on getting this door open.

Kaz squints his eyes and glares at Daniels.

Frankie Kazarian
You know I usually don't say anything about your weird passtime's, but stalking the boss probably isn't a good idea..

Christopher Daniels
I said focus on the window!

Frankie Kazarian
Okay.. Why don't we just break it?

Christopher Daniels
Okay, with what?

Frankie Kazarian
We need something round, hard and sort of big.. This is just a suggestion so bare with me, why don't you just headbutt it?

Christopher Daniels
Cute, but I think we'll have to be a little more sneaky than that. We'll need something small, something that's taken a lot of hits before, something that's pretty much useless... I got it! Why don't we just your... your old baseball bat? We haven't used that in ages.

Kaz's cheeks grow red.

Frankie Kazarian
I don't have that anymore, why don't we just use that metal bucket I kicked? It should be easy enough to toss that thing through the window, and that way we won't have to hurt our heads.

Christopher Daniels
Well, if you say so.

Daniels picks up the bucket, swinging it back and forth a few times before launching it into the window. The window doesn't break, but it cracks and allows an opening for Bad Influence. Daniels takes a step back and kicks, shattering the window.

Christopher Daniels
On second thought, that was a little extreme.

Frankie Kazarian
Yeah, I think we might have watched too much Charlie's Angels last night. You realise what we're doing here is illegal right? I mean breaking into her office is one thing, but breaking the window like we did, leaving shard of glass all across the room, there's pretty much no way of hiding it now, we've broken the law, Chris, we could go to jail for this! I'm too young and pretty to go to jail!

Kazarian continues to babble on to himself, Daniels sighs and slaps him across the face, leaving him shocked but silent.

Christopher Daniels
Get your head in the game! We're pretty close to New Jersey, we'll dump the shards of broken close there! Now get in there and steal that phone like you're never stolen a phone before in your life!

Frankie Kazarian
You're right, okay, I'll do it..

Kazarian walks up to the brokn window and steps in to the office, being careful to avoid the glass. Once in, Kazarian heads straight for the general managers desk and starts searching around for the phone.

Frankie Kazarian
You wouldn't believee the amount of crap she keeps in here!

Kazarian searches through the desk, throwing papers onto the floor as he looks for the phone.

Frankie Kazarian
I've got it!

Christopher Daniels
Sweet! Toss it here!

Kaz tosses Daniels the phone from inside the room, landing it in his hands, but he fumbles around with it. Daniels acts like he's playing hot potato with the phone, waiting a good ten seconds before finally cutting it out.

Christopher Daniels
Fooled you!

Suddenly, the duo hear footsteps coming from around the corner, and the freeze in panic...

Frankie Kazarian
I knew this was a bad idea, this is it Chris, it's the end for us. Stephanie's going to walk in here, she's going to see the broken window, the phone in your hand, and she's going to have us arrested. We're going to lose our jobs, we're going to be locked up, we're going to become playthings for people with names like Rowan and Bray. I can't live like that Chris! I want to be free, I have to be free! I never told you before, but I'm actually claustrophobic. We have...

Christopher Daniels
Calm down and get out of there already

Kazarian instantly bursts into action, he jumps forwards and dives through the window, cutting his elbow on his way out, he stops himself from screaming out as the footsteps come closer.

Christopher Daniels
We need to get out of here, NOW!

Daniels grabs Kazarian who is dripping blood all over the floor and drags him down the corridor and out of sight..

Around ten seconds pass by with absolute silence before Stephanie McMahon returns at the office, she stops in shock, all she sees is the broken glass, the liquid across the floor, and the drops of blood at her feet. Stephanie frowns and the camera cuts away to end the segment.

Normal Match

These two traded the World Championship in the past, but tonight only pride is on the line.

Dolph wins!

Breakdown returns and we are shown The Ryback talking to Don West.

Michael Cole
Welcome back ladies and gentleman!! It's Main Event Time!! It looks like The Ryback is getting a few words of advice from Don West before The Big Guy takes on Paul Heyman's best friend, CM Punk!!!

King
The Ryback’s career here started a while back, when he joined the West Side Army. He spent months dominating the competition, ending the careers of anyone who stepped in his way. The Brian Kendrick, Carlito, Primo, Epico, the list goes on and on. He took what he wanted, he didn’t say sorry, he was The Big Guy. It didn’t take him long to earn an I.C. Title shot, being chosen to face The Heartbreak Kid when John Morrison was forced to vacate his title. But due to the interference of Triple H, Shawn Michaels was able to win the match and become the new I.C. Champion.

JR
That’s right, but then he got another shot, and The Heartbreak Kid nearly broke his jaw!!!

King
And it went downhill for The Ryback since then. He lost to Goldberg, and became a Heyman client in the process. He was then forced to do Heyman’s dirty work for a whole month until Amazing Red won The Big Guy back to The West Side Army!

JR
But ever since The Ryback returned to The West Side Army he hasn’t been the same. Two weeks ago he’s saying how now that he’s back in the West Side Army all he cares about is Dean Ambrose, Amazing Red, SDR, West, and the rest of the superstars who’s had his back in the past. Then last week he’s going on about how he’s been soft in the recent past, how he needs to focus on himself rather than those around him. I don’t know if it was that shot to the jaw from HBK, or all those beat downs from The Heyman Crew.. But The Ryback seems to be… Well I don’t know what to call it.

Don West pats The Ryback on the back before the two part ways. The Ryback begins to walk down the backstage hallways, loosening up his arms, until he walks right into...



John Cena
Woah big Fella, might wanna watch where you're going, I just got RKOed by Randy Orton, to say that I was feeling a little sore might be an understatement.

{{The Ryback}}
Sorry John. I didn’t see you there, I was a little… Preoccupied. I just can’t get what happened last week out of my head. I mean we lost, yet she still hugged me, and Dean said that she’s just cr-.. And Don said not to worry about it and focus on tonig-.. But… What?

We are shown John, looking at The Ryback with a confused look on his face.

{{The Ryback}}
Right. Never mind… I heard that The Heyman Crew has been giving you as much trouble as they have given me as of late.

John Cena
Well you were there Ryback, don't you remember? I had you on my shoulders, I was just about to hit you with the Attitude Adjustment and win the match when Heyman decided to involve himself...

{{The Ryback}}
Oh right. I thought that we weren’t supposed to be talking about that..

John Cena
.. Then they proceeded to assault me before throwing me through a steel chaired covered table, causing me to sever not one, not two, not three, not... the point is, I severed a LOT of muscles while you... Actually, where were you while they attacked me? One second you're standing by me and the next 'poof' you're gone. What are you taking magic classes from Barney Stinson or something?

Ryback is taken aback, startled and confused as Cena stares at him with hate filled eyes, before breaking into a smirk and a low laugh.

John Cena
Don't look so glum big guy, I'm just messing with you. Yeah, I've had my fair share of problems with the man and his crew, but it's nothing I can't handle, and as you see, I'm feeling a lot better than I was last week, and by next week, you won't be able to tell that I was ever even injured. But enough about the Heyman crew, I don't need to worry about them tonight. If anything, I'd say the West Side Army are the ones I'll have to worry about now after what I just did to Dean Ambrose.

{{The Ryback}}
But I’m part of the West Side Army..



John Cena
Oh... Well.. This is awkward... See, with all these groups alternating their members every week, it's a little hard to keep track of.. But we don't have an issue here because if you had a problem with what I did to Ambrose, you'd have said so as soon as you bumped into me... right?

The Ryback stares at Cena without saying a word, leaving him feeling uneasy.

John Cena
So... How's Don East lately?

{{The Ryback}}
You mean West? Well with Dean being World Champion and Amazing Red being fired, I guess you can say that he’s feeling a little good and a little bad at the same time. Speaking of mixed feelings, you probably have some about this whole West Side Army versus The Heyman Crew feud that we’ve got going on. What with Dean Ambrose fast counting you earlier, and the Heyman Crew attacking you, forcing you out of the United States Championship Contender Match… But here’s the thing, Paul Heyman now has The Rock, he has E&C, he has Brock Lesnar, he has Goldberg!!! The West Side Army is strong, but we can’t defeat The Heyman Crew alone. Dean is new to the West Side Army, he’s not Amazing Red, but regardless I’m still loyal to him because Don West believes in him. I don’t support what he did to you earlier, but the thing is, he’s never had to face the wrath of The Heyman Crew. Amazing Red has, I have, you have, Stone Cold has, Big E has.. So don’t take what Dean did to you personally, please. We need to stand together if we plan on getting out of this with our careers intact, trust me I know, I was one of them for a month… And-

John Cena
You want me to know that even though both your former mentor and your current mentor want my head on a stick, you're always going to remain impartial and be right by my side? That means a lot Ryback, it really does.

{{The Ryback}}
You’re John Cena! Your moral compass is always pointing in the right direction. As long as that’s true I’ll always have your back. There isn’t anything or anyone that can make me turn my back on you John. I might have made some mistakes in the past, but Ryan “The Ryback” Reeves is all about what’s morally right, about what’s good. So if yo -

All of a sudden The Ryback stares off to the right.

John Cena
Uh.. Ryback.. Buddy. You there?

Cena looks behind him towards what The Ryback is staring at, where we see AJ Lee!! She says “good luck tonight” to The Ryback before skipping off! The Ryback watches her go, only looking back at Cena when AJ is out of sight.

{{The Ryback}}
You hear that John! She wished me good luck?... Wait… What do you think she means by that John?  Should I have said good luck back? No of course not. Right? I messed everything up!! Stupid Ryback!! Stupid!!! Stupid!! Stu-

John Cena
Well.. Uh.. This is something you should answer yourself, but if you really want to know what I think, I'll tell you... SHE’S CRAZY!!

Cena laughs, pats The Ryback on the shoulder, than leaves.



We are then brought to ringside where CM Punk is making his entrance for the Main Event!!!

Michael Cole
Well that sure was odd..

Punk looks at his wrist before shouting “It’s clobbering time!!”

King
The Ryback is defiantly not all there tonight folks. Or for the past few weeks that is.. I don’t know why, but something is up with The Ryback…



Punk enters the ring in his usual fashion, awaiting his opponent for tonight’s Main Event!!



JR
Here he is!! The Big Guy!!

The Ryback walks out to the stage.

King
Well he definitely looks like his mind isn’t on tonight’s match!!



The Ryback looks distracted, walking down the stage while he talks to himself. The Ryback jumps as his stage pyro goes off and he realizes that he forgot to do his usual entrance performance. He shakes his head to clear his mind, entering the ring and looking at his opponent.

JR
This is The Ryback’s second Main Event in a row! Last night he fell short to Dean Ambrose and Layla. But if he wants to come out of this match victorious he’s going to have to focus!! This is CM Punk he’s facing after all!!

The two competitors circle one another as the ref signals for the bell to ring, signaling for the match to start!!

King
And this one is under way!!



King
What is she doing here..?

AJ Lee skips down to the ring and begins to circle it.



The Ryback stares as AJ continues to circle the ring. Punk looks a little confused and a little annoyed. He finally has had enough as AJ makes the third circle around the ring. Punk turns The Ryback around and hits him with a high kick!!! He goes for the pin….1…2…3.!!!



Punk has his hand raised in victory as AJ skips to the stage. The Ryback uses the ropes to slowly get to his feet as Punk celebrates his win. The Ryback looks on as AJ skips back and forth on the stage. Punk shakes his head before condescendingly patting The Ryback on the back and exiting the ring. AJ skips to the back as The Ryback looks on, not paying attention to his back where…  

King
Ryback!! Behind you!!

Goldberg slams The Ryback in the back of the head with an elbow!!!

King
Goldberg just came out through the crowd!!

The Ryback slowly gets back to his feet only to get speared by Christian!!!

King
Oh no… E&C!! They’re coming through the crowd as well!! Doesn’t that bring back memories!

Edge is next to enter the ring, waiting in the corner and pulling his hair back. The Ryback uses the ropes to get back to his feet, takes a swing at Goldberg, misses, then gets floored by a spear from Edge!!

King
Not this again!! Just like with Prince Devitt!!

E&C pick The Ryback up as Goldberg waits in the corner until..

King
SPEAR!! Spear by Goldberg!!

The crowd’s boos grow louder as Paul Heyman makes his way out to the ring with Brock Lesnar and The Rock. Both Brock and Rock glare at Punk as they pass him.

King
Uh oh..

Heyman is next to pass Punk. He smiles and gestures to the ring. Punk smirks and shakes his head before walking to the back.

King
It looks like Paul Heyman’s best friend wants nothing to do with his clients!

E&C pick The Ryback up and lift him high up onto Goldberg’s shoulders.

King
Not this again!!

The trio Triple Powerbomb The Ryback!!



The Rock slides into the ring and stands over The Ryback, he nods to E&C, then at Goldberg, before taking off one of his elbow pads and throwing it into the crowd…

King
We know what this means!!!

The crowd boos as The Rock his the People’s Elbow on The Ryback!! Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar are next to enter.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Ladies and gentleman, standing before you is the most dominant, the most dangerous, the most electrifying… And The Greatest Tag Team in sports entertainment. We are the ones who should be main eventing! Not The Ryback!! Goldberg! The Rock! Brock Lesnsar! E&C! Those are the type of names worthy of being in the main event alongside my best friend CM Punk!! Not The Ryback!! Not a West Side Army Member! It’s bad enough that Dean Ambrose is the World Champion! But that will all change when Edge wins the Final Stand Money in the Bank Match. And as for The Ryback? Well.. He’s not going to make it to Final Stand. You see Goldberg is the one we go to when we need a match won. He’s the most dominant man in this company. The Rock is the one we go to when we need to electrify the XWL Universe, when we need to bring out the big guns, the big names. E&C? Well, if you have a tag team that needs humbling then you know where to go to. Edge is the most manipulative superstar, the ultimate opportunist.



{{Paul Heyman}}
And because of that he is going to go on to win the Final Stand MITB Match... after all that is his match to win. And with Christian, the smartest competitor that I’ve ever seen by his side. Well. That Briefcase is practically already his, the real question for Final Stand is.. Who is going to have their arm broken by Brock Lesnar?? Dean Ambrose or Ted DiBiase. Because Edge has made it clear to me that he has no plans on letting that Money in the Bank Briefcase sit and gather dust after he wins it. He hates Ted DiBiase. And well, we hate The West Side Army. After that World Title Match is over, Brock Lesnar is going to break the arm of the winner, or both, and Edge holding the World Title over his head, well, that’s going to be the last thing that you see as Final Stand comes to an end. Because that’s the way it should be, The Heyman Crew should be the ones that end each and every Pay Per View and each and every Breakdown!!! Just like we are doing tonight. This is our show. Look at the superstars standing beside me in the ring. Who is going to possibly be able to stop us?? And... Speaking of Final Stand, well, Brock Lesnar is the one that we go to when we need careers ended. Arm’s broken. That all being said, The Ryback isn’t going to make it to Final Stand. Isn’t that right Brock?

Brock smiles as he circles The Ryback.

King
Oh no!! Brock Lesnar is going to break The Ryback’s arm!!

Brock puts The Ryback in the Kimura and Snap!!!

King
Oh no!!!

Goldberg laughs as he kicks The Ryback out of the ring. The Rock climbs up on one turnbuckle as Brock does the same to the one next to it. Goldberg stands in the middle of the ring with Edge to his left and Christian to his right.

{{Paul Heyman}}
Ladies and gentleman… I give to you The Heyman Crew!!!

Breakdown comes to a close as medical staff rush out to check on The Ryback while Paul Heyman, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and E&C all stand in the ring with their arms in the air.
