He had given it his best, but his best was not good enough. Seth Rollins, the man that Zack Ryder underestimated defeated him one, two, three in the middle of the ring leaving the Ryder Revolution deflated once again with their leader. The cameras cut backstage as we find Zack Ryder. He looks crushed as once again he has failed to make his mark in this company. His eyes glance over as he notices that the camera is rolling. A small smirk appears on his face. His hands run up his hair as he spikes it up. A headband is placed on as well as he removes his sunglasses and places them on his shirt, allowing them to hang there. Zack Ryder takes a moment to himself as he then swallows hard as he address all of his bros who he has let down once again.
ZACK RYDER | NUMBER ONE BRO Listen bros, I know what you are thinking; you are thinking that this is the end. Two matches down and two defeats but let me tell you something bros, this…this is only the start. I will be the first to raise my hand upwards and admit that this revolution has not gotten to the start that I wanted, but it is still going and it is going strong. You bros, you still got my back, you know that I can still do this. You know that I can still make each and every one of you proud. Seth Rollins, he deserved the win. I wanted it, but he wanted it more and no matter what happened before, during or after I want him to know this is not the last he has seen or heard from me. I will be back, I will be coming back for him, because I want to prove to him that I can hang with the best. I want to prove not only to him, but John Cena and everyone else here that Zack Ryder means business. For far too long I have been ignored, for far too long people have looked down upon me, held their noses up at me and told me that I am not good enough. This story, this sad story of my career has been going on for years and look at me. I have a smile on my face and I am still here. Zack Ryder is not going anywhere! I am here to stay! I am here to make my mark and you better all take notice that I am serious when I say that I will reach the top. I will become champion and I will earn the respect and admiration of everyone in the back.
WOO WOO WOO
YOU KNOW IT BRO!

As Ted hits the mat following the Superman Punch by Roman Reigns the crowd start to boo as Zeb Coulter of all people walks out onto the stage with a microphone in his hand as he starts to walk down too the ring, taking Roman Reigns' eye completely off his match
Jim Ross: Oh what the... What's he doing out here?
Zeb Colter: You know the last time I looked we were in the United States of America and I am a Real American, certainly unlike that man right there Roman Reigns.
With Roman completely fixated on Zeb Coulter, DiBiase comes up from behind him rolling him up looking for a quick victory!
1!
2!
Roman Reigns kicks out at a two count!
Michael Cole: Ted almost had him there following the distraction from Coulter! A close two count, but Roman Reigns certainly has been taken off his game thanks to the appearance of Zeb Coutler.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: You can say that again, Cole, but what business does he have out here? Antonio Cesaro isn't in this match.
As Reigns gets back to his feet following the close call he powers DiBiase into the corner of the ring as he starts to drill his Shoulder into DiBiase's stomach
Zeb Colter: Roman Reigns is from the Isle of Samoa, best known for their brute force and unmatched size, 6 foot 4, 6 foor 5 well over 500 hundred pounds, blood thirsty savages... and the men? Don't even get me started.
As the insults flow from Coulter, Reigns again takes his eyes off DiBiase momentarily as he glances over at Zeb who's slowly making his way closer and closer to the ring
Michael Cole: Mr Coulter shows absolutely no respect for Roman Reigns.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's just trying to get under his skin, and it's clearly working.
Zeb Colter: While Roman Reigns as you can clearly see managed to escape the Islands, illegally I might add, he is not a Real American. Someone who is a real American, Antonio Cesaro. The United States champion, Antonio Cesaro. Who came to this great nation through the legal routes and each and every day he upholds the rights of every single American citizen. He is a man that strives every single day to better himself and he is a man who represents each and every one of you.
With the pace of the match almost completely drained Roman grabs Ted by the arm pulling him out of the corner as he hits him with a huge clothesline knocking him to the mat
Jim Ross: Reigns trying to continue on with the match, but you couldn't blame him for his attention being drawn to that man right there Zeb Coulter.
Zeb Colter: Now Roman Reigns, even though I don't like to show it off but I am fluent in your native tongue, I just don't like to speak it as it is a primitive language, I'm going to make an exception and say this in a language you can understand. O le tau o le maile oe.
As Zeb utters those Samoan words, Roman quickly turns his attention to Zeb again quickly going over to that side of the ring leaning over the ropes screaming at Zeb to step in the ring with him
Michael Cole: Uhoh. I don't know what he just said, but that certainly got Roman's attention.
Jim Ross: And I'm not sure that's the kind of attention Zeb is going to like.
As Roman tries to grab Zeb from outside the ring Brad Maddox tries in vain to keep Reigns in the ring as his focus is solely on Zeb Coulter
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Brad Maddox is having to try to restrain Roman here, if I was Zeb I'd run for cover.
Zeb Colter: What's the matter Roman, are you Valea or are you just Komo?
With those words uttered Reigns quickly exits the ring and starts to chase Zeb around the ring
Michael Cole: He's chasing Zeb around the ring here! Zeb's really got in his head.
Jim Ross: He's running like a scalded dog! But he's going to have to go a lot faster if he's going to escape Roman Reigns.
As he half runs around the ring Zeb slides into the ring running to the other side as Reigns follows him however as he enters to ring he's met with a big Sitout Spinebuster by Ted DiBiase!
Michael Cole: What a shot by DiBiase! He almost took Roman clean out of his boots!
With Reigns temporarily on the mat DiBiase grabs him by the leg and turns him over onto his stomach in a single leg crab as Zeb walks over so he can look Reigns in the eyes as he continues talking
Zeb Colter: That got your attention now didn't it? Your value to this country is nothing, zero, nada. You are at the bottom of the metaphoric totem poll that is this country. And on April 4th at Final Stand VI you will find out just why that is when you go one and one up against the United States champion and these people will know exactly what a Real American looks like.
As the action in the ring continues DiBiase still has the hold locked in, in the middle of the ring
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Could Zeb Coulter be loving this any more than he is right now? DiBiase has Reigns right where he wants him and that's all down to Zeb's distraction.
Zeb Colter: So what I want everyone in this arena who considers themselves a Real American much like myself and Antonio Cesaro is to stand up on your feet and put your hand over your chest then say in one loud united voice...
Zeb puts his hand over his chest then he says loudly into the microphone as the crowd boo him in their masses
Zeb Colter: We the people!
The cameras cut back to the action in the ring as Roman lifts himself off the mat using all the power in his body forcing his leg downwards forcibly breaking Ted's hold and he gets back to his feet in an absolute show of raw power
Michael Cole: What power! He just powered out of the Crab like it was nothing!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: This man is a freak of nature!
Reigns charges at DiBiase ducting under his clothesline attempt and bouncing off the ropes as he knocks Ted down with a huge Leaping Clothesline!
Jim Ross: He's feeling it now, and just look at Zeb, he's irate!
Michael Cole: Roman is feeling that second wind!
As Ted quickly gets back to the feet Reigns hits the ropes again hitting Ted with another Leaping Clothesline as soon as he turns around!
Jim Ross: Another Leaping Clothesline by Reigns, have you ever seen this kind of explosive agility from a guy his size?
Jerry "The King" Lawler: He could take someone's head clean off, he's a machine!
Roman backs off into a corner of the ring as he lets out a big wolf cry and hits the mat with his fist, kneeling in wait of Ted to get back up to his feet as seen many times before, brushing his hair out of his face with the arena looking on knowing exactly what's coming next
Jim Ross: You know what's coming next, he's measuring DiBiase for that Spear of his! If he connects this one could be over!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: He's put away many opponents with his before, could Ted be next?
Ted stumbles to his feet, almost dazed by the hard clotheslines that knocked him down with an almost superhuman like force each time. He staggers, turning around and that's when Roman comes charging at him like a freight train following a set of tracks that lead right into the man that claims to be the next World Heavyweight Champion. The fans rise to their feet, ready to see the one who betrayed them get broken in half by the spear, and as they get louder Reigns connects!
Michael Cole: Roman Reigns hits the spear!
Jim Ross:Wait a gosh darned minute, did he?!
The excitement in the building goes from an all time high for the night, to a shocked and clear low. For Reigns doesn't rise back up, he doesn't go for the immediate cover, instead it's Ted who's shown backing away from Roman with the biggest smile on his face. What the hell happened? It looked like Reigns hit the spear, but it's Roman that's seemingly out for the count.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: This is one for the replay, let's see that again.
As the action is paused for a moment, and the fans along with everybody else showing a confused look, a replay captured from a different angle plays on the main portion of the screen. It shows Reigns a second away from hitting the mark, but Ted side steps at the last possible second, catching Reigns in an immediate head lock that uses Reign's own momentum against him and causes him to be planted with a DDT by DiBiase!
Jim Ross: Good gawd almighty, how in the hell did he manage that?!
Michael Cole: The power game of Roman Reigns is a game that not many can win, but with strong awareness like that, Ted just might be one in million and tame the beast that is Roman Reigns right now!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: It's going to take more than that to defeat a man like Roman Reigns. He's been on a tear as of late, but Ted finding a way to make Reigns seemingly plant himself with that DDT, that's certainly impressive.
Using the ropes to pull himself to a standing position, Ted begins to tower over the fallen brute, stalking him for what could be the end. Roman starts to rise, placing his hand on the mat, popping up slowly as he tries to shake off the cobwebs that have gathered due to that unexpected DDT. As he slightly steps backwards, shaking his head, Ted locks a hold of him from behind, but struggles to lock in The Million Dollar Dream. Reigns fights it, using his strength to his advantage, ramming his elbow into the side of Ted's skull, not once, not twice, but three times! Three shots that were heard throughout the arena, put Ted out, he falls to his knees, barely there and that's when Roman lets out a primal scream, pulling closer to him to set up a powerbomb!
Michael Cole: Oh this isn't good!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Roman fought out of The Silencer, and it looks like he's about to silence Ted himself.
Jim Ross: Reigns is a freak of nature, and I hope Antonio Cesaro is prepared to deal with this man at Final Stand, because he's closing in on defeating potentially the next World Champion.
The fans cheer, Reigns propels Ted up in the air, prepared to drive him down to the canvas, but Ted's not finished fighting yet. He delivers several calculated punches to Roman's skull, desperately trying to prevent being dropped with what could be the finishing move of this match. Reigns pushes through it though, keeping his hold, lifts him up high to increase the impact just before the crash landing, but Ted connects with one good punch, that allows Ted to escape Roman's grasp and land, albeit barely on his feet behind him! He once again goes for The Silencer, but just as Reigns did before, he counters, this time launching Ted overhead with unbelievable power, and charges at him! Ted drops to the canvas, prompting Roman to leap over him and rush for the ropes to get even more power behind him, but as he goes flying at the ropes, Ted pops up and rushes behind him! Roman comes bouncing back to Ted, but in that split second Ted had gathered momentum by hitting the ropes a moment after he did, and as Reigns turns around to figure out where he went, he's floored by one hell of a clothesline from Ted DiBiase.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Ted showing Roman that he's got one heck of a clothesline too!
"How's that for a clothesline pretty boy?!" An arrogant Ted shouts at Roman, while Maddox prepares for a cover, but Ted's not finished yet. He starts to stalk him again, hoping the third time is the charm, but that hope falls under distraction because suddenly Dean Ambrose starts walking out from the back, no music, no outright "distraction" just the presence of him and his title casually strolling down the ramp. It's not Dean at first that shifts Ted's focus, it's the change in the mood of the fans. They go from booing Ted, to suddenly cheering, something that didn't quite add up. DiBiase turns around, and there he is, the man he'll meet for The World title in a few short weeks.
Jim Ross: What's Dean Ambrose doing out here?
Michael Cole: Look at Maddox, I think he's telling Dean to get lost!
Intent on showing he's the best referee, better than any referee, past, present, or will ever be. Brad Maddox jumps onto the scene, telling Dean to leave, that he has no place being out here, but Ted's too distracted to as it is. His sudden frustration over him coming out fades, and instead Ted yells "THIS IS GOING TO BE YOU!" as he points behind him at Roman Reigns. Brad tries to keep order, telling Dean to go, but the World Champion just stands there with his hands up claiming that he's doing nothing wrong. Unbeknownst to Ted, Reigns has gotten back up to his feet, and he's ready for Ted to turn around...Maddox sees this, tries to tell Roman to stop, for some reason...but that doesn't stop him. After pointing behind him and smirking, Ted turns around, RIGHT INTO A SPEAR!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Leave no doubt about it, that time he got him!
Michael Cole: No! Brad specifically told him to wait!
Jim Ross: Oh he waited alright, he waited for Ted to turn around and drove him right into the canvas with a spear into next fall!
The fans explode, and Roman immediately goes for the pin..but right as he does, the bell sounds!
Jim Ross: What?
Michael Cole: Um...
Reigns looks up confused, and sees Brad Maddox over by the time keeper, and the ring announcer, explaining himself to them...while leaving us with no idea what's going on or why the bell was called for before he counted the pin.
[Lillian Garcia] Ladies and gentlemen, by order of referee Brad Maddox, due to the interference which greatly had an effect on this match, he feels it is unfair to Ted DiBiase, and Roman Reigns to continue it any further. Therefore, this match is a draw, and both men are the winners.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Huh?! Roman was about to win!
Michael Cole: You don't know that, besides is it really a win if Ted was moments away from beating him, only for Dean to come out and distract him?
Jim Ross: I didn't see Ted slow down when Zeb Colter came out here.
Michael Cole: That's different, he was clearly out of it after that super man punch, for all you know, Ted didn't even see Zeb.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Oh I'm sure he didn't...
Angry over the result, knowing he had the match won before Brad's unorthodox call, Reigns looks to take his rage out on the referee, but he's of course outside the ring, and one could think that's because he knows what could come of his decision if he was in there with Roman right now.
Jim Ross: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Brad Maddox didn't want to count the pin against Ted because if he did, Ted could accuse him of have a bias towards him and rule in favor of another referee at Final Stand.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: That's a strong point, Brad's got a big opportunity at Final Stand, and I don't think he wants to jeopardize that.
Michael Cole: Look at you trying to fabricate lies like that. Brad made the right call, he made a call no other referee has the decency to ever make, that's all this was.
Wanting to add insult to this moment for Roman, Zeb gets up on the apron mocking him, laughing at the fact that he didn't beat Ted tonight, like he won't beat Antonio Cesaro at Final Stand. But as he points at him and shouts "Get used to being disappointed son!" Reigns finds a target for his rage, and leaps off the mat, jamming his fist right into Colter's face, and he goes tumbling off the apron and to the floor immediately motionless!
Michael Cole: WHO IN THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?! HE JUST ATTACKED A WAR HERO!
Jim Ross: Roman finding an avenue for his frustrations, and perhaps Zeb will learn to mind his own business from now on.
The arena roars in approval as Roman screams out points to the Final Stand VI sign. Ted rolls under the ropes, holding his ribs, and comes face to face with Dean Ambrose, prompting the two to stare intently at one another. If there wasn't an order that prevented them from making contact, one would assume that we wouldn't see a tame moment like the two of them exchanging casual words and just staring at one another. Dean raises his title up in the air, while Ted's eyes look up to the "heavens" gazing at the beauty he'll hope to make his in a few weeks. We cut back to a shot of Roman pointing to the Final Stand Sixth Anniversary sign, and motioning around his waist, that he'll be the next United States Champion as the show comes to an end.
