XWL Breakdown: 6/20/2014 - 7/4/2014

Breakdown returns from commercial to a deafening crowd, cheering in anticipation for what will come next.

Jim Ross
Would you listen to that crowd! What a lively bunch we have here tonight in Cleveland, Ohio!

Jerry Lawler
You said it King, it's been an action packed night so far, Summer Rae made her return!

Jim Ross
Don't forget about Kurt Angle, King.

Jerry Lawler
JR, I assure you, I won't be forgetting about that any time soon, even if I wanted to.

Michael Cole
Kurt Angle trying to get down with the kids was comical gold, I can't wait to watch him embarrass himself further in the future!

Jim Ross
Come on Cole, he might not be the best rapper in the world, but he's damn entertaining! I don't' think I've heard the audience laugh and have fun like that in weeks!

….




The crowd pop as John Cena's music hits the arena, a mixed reaction from the audience, who appear to be cut down the middle.

Jerry Lawler
Talking about rappers, this man right here has been known to drop a beat, maybe we'll get to see a rap battle here in the future?

Jim Ross
Maybe King, but with his Championship match coming up at Digital Decision in two weeks time, rapping is probably the last thing on Cena's mind.

Cena jogs from the back onto the stage, the crowd only get louder as they spot him standing on the top of the ramp, he looks out to all of his fans in the audience, holding up signs to show their support, then turns to face the camera and yells...




John Cena
It's time!

Before striking his signature salute pose, and dashing down the ramp, jumping up before reaching the apron, and sliding in to the ring under the bottom rope.

Jerry Lawler
It's time JR, it's time!... What is it time for?

Jim Ross
I have no idea King, but whenever John Cena comes down to the ring, you know you're going to be entertained!

Michael Cole
You mean bored to sleep..

Cena paces around the ring as the crowd starts to die down a bit, he heads over to the apron and leans over to grab a microphone from the ring announcer, jumping back and raising the microphone to his lips.

John Cena
Cleveland, I hope you're ready for a night that you will NEVER forget!

Cena continues to pace around the ring as the crowd raise their volume.

John Cena
Man, words can not describe how happy I feel right now! Finally, FINALLY, you fantastic people are about to receive the celebration that you deserve!

Cena smiles and holds the microphone out to his side, amplifying the voices of the people in the audience



John Cena
I know, I know, I'm excited too! Now this isn't going to be just any celebration, no, this isn't going to be some formal coronation in which I claim to be the best in the world and then force Lillian Garcia here to put a crown on my head. I mean fair due's to Chris Jericho, he did become the 2013 King of the Ring, but the man does not know how to celebrate a momentous victory like this!

Jerry Lawler
I can't wait for this!

John Cena
Now I'm not exactly the best party planner, and if I'm being honest, I don't think I've even been to a party since I finished high school, and something tells me that kind of party... well...

Cena looks around the arena at all of the children in attendance.

John Cena
Well, it probably wouldn't be appropriate.  

Cena smirks and rolls his eyes from the left to the right.

John Cena
BUT! I did some research, and I'm pretty confident that I've covered everything a party like this should have, but I am human, so I may have made a couple of oversights, an error or two... or three! But hey, if some thing's not right, you'll tell me right?

Cena reaches down into his shorts' pocket and pulls out a folded piece of white paper, which he promptly unfolds.

John Cena
OK, so, first on the list, the party music. Now, I wasn't too sure what you guys are into, so I picked a couple of different songs, I'll let you guys decide which you want... So here we go, the first one, hit it!



Party in the USA starts to blast through the speakers, and some of the members of the audience start to sing along, but they're quickly drowned out by the rest who jeer profusely as Cena has his hands over his ears.

John Cena
Yeah, I've got to be honest, I was hoping you guys wouldn't pick that one. But this one! I'm a little biased, because this is one of my favourites, and I warn you, I know all of the words.



Fandango and Layla's entrance music hits and the crowd boo even louder.

John Cena
You don't like it?! Come on, give it a chance, just be sure to breathe in your a's.

Cena takes in a deep breath

John Cena
Daa, Da, Da, Dada, Da, Da, Da, Daaaaa, Da, Da Da, Daaa, D...

Cena stops singing, looking out to the now silent audience.

John Cena
Alright, I get it, you don't like it. Cut the music guys.

The music comes to a halt.

John Cena
I have to say, I thought you guys would be sold on that one... But don't worry, I still have one ace left up my sleeve...



As the music of the Vengaboys' fills the arena, the crowd yell out in approval, some cheering, while others sing along.

John Cena
I knew it! Now you kids might have no idea what you're listening to, but back when I was younger, I won't lie, Vengaboys was sort of a guilty pleasure of mine.. But this was considered THE party song. I mean just listen to it! How could you not want to party to this song? That covers the music.

Cena rips a slip of the paper up and throws it to the floor.

John Cena
Number two! Now that we have the music, this is starting to feel more like a party, but what would a party be without... BALLOONS!

Cena pauses, extending his microphone out to the audience again.



John Cena
Unfortunately, I couldn't get any balloons..

The crowd turn sour.

John Cena
BUT... I did manage to get the next best thing!

Cena smiles as confetti starts to fall down around the announcers table.

Michael Cole
What on earth...? What is this?!

Jerry Lawler
It's great Cole, that's what it is! Look at this!

Jim Ross
It's quite the extravagant display, that's for sure.

Michael Cole
I think sumth got in mah mwth.

Jerry Lawler
Isn't Cena the best? He throws a party and shuts Michael Cole up at the same time!

Still smiling, Cena walks over to the apron and looks toward Jerry Lawler.

John Cena
Hey uh, Jerry, from one King to another, the budget didn't really cover any more confetti, so if you could throw some of it into the crowd, that would be great.

Jerry Lawler
I'm on it, John!

Cena returns to the center of the ring as Jerry Lawler scoops confetti off Michael Cole's shoulder and throws it into the crowd behind him.

John Cena
Thirdly! No party would be complete without this, the one thing that everyone looks forward to, whether they're five years old or fifty years old. Yes, that's right, I'm talking about the Party bag! What kind of host would I be, if I didn't show my appreciation to my guests by handing out some Party bags?

John rolls out of the ring and heads over to the bell ringer's corner, reaching down, he pulls out a plastic bag.

John Cena
Usually, the best thing about a Party bag is the mystery of what's inside, but I just can't contain my excitement, so I'm sorry, for ruining the surprise. Let's see.

Cena reaches into the bag and pulls out a red baseball cap with his catchphrase, 'You Can't See Me' etched into the front in white.

John Cena
A hat! Not bad, not bad! But we can do better than that, what else do we have in here?

Cena reaches down again, this time pulling out an action figure of the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels.

John Cena
Now that's what I'm talking about! Your very own XWL World Heavyweight Champion! Look, they even got his hair right!... And..

Cena reaches down into the bag again.

John Cena
It comes with its very own miniature scale of the World Heavyweight Championship itself, how awesome is that?! Speaking of awesome..

Cena reaches down into the bag for the fourth time, this time pulling out a DVD case.

John Cena
Ladies and gentlemen, a limited edition never before seen copy of the Miz's latest movie, Christmas Bounty! And folks, when I say never before seen, I mean it. Not one person on the face of this earth has ever watched this before, and that's including the Miz himself!

The crowd laugh as Cena reaches into the bag for the final time.

John Cena
And finally...

Cena pulls the last item out of the bag, it appears to be a pack of tissues.

John Cena
You've struck gold here! You won't believe it, for the first time ever, you could get your hands on a packet of Kleenex tissues..

Cena reaches into the pack of tissues and pulls one out, unfolding it, much to the joy of the crowd.

John Cena
With Paul Heyman's face printed on! I can honestly say, I'm jealous.

Cena quickly puts everything back into the bag.

John Cena
Now, unfortunately, we only have 10 bags to giveaway, I think it had something to do with The Miz's movie not making enough money to sell more than 10 copies, so I guess you can blame the Miz for that one.

Cena turns to Lillian who is sitting in the seat beside him.

John Cena
Lillian, if you wouldn't mind doing the honours.

Lillian stands up from her seat, and Cena lifts her up over the barricade and into the crowd as they cheer her on.

John Cena
Do me a favour and give these bags to the audience, I trust your judgement, so I'll leave it up to you.

Cena hands Lillian all of the bags, dangling them off her arms, trying to make room for all ten, before returning to the ring, sliding back under the bottom rope, taking his place in the center of the ring once more.



John Cena
That's it! That's all I had on my list.. But then I thought to myself... You know what would make this party a hundred times better? A Pinata!! But not just any pinata, no, a very special pinata, custom made for this celebration alone! What could be better than that? NOTHING! That's what... So, I called in a few favours, and...

Cena looks up to the sky, as does everyone else in the audience as something can be seen being lowered from the rooftop, as it comes closer, it becomes clearer, and the audience start to laugh again.

Jim Ross
Is that?...

Jerry Lawler
HA! It's Bray Wyatt!

Michael Cole
Oh come on! That's completely disrespectful, how can you people cheer this.

The pinata is lowered enough so that Cena can just about reach it.

John Cena
As you can probably tell by now, I had the pinata shaped as the 'Eater of  Worlds', Bray Wyatt. I thought long and hard about it all week, and I decided that the best way to celebrate my victory as your King of the Ring, was to beat the snot out of the man who took it upon himself to assault me after my gruelling match with Randy Orton. So, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Cena rolls out of the ring once more, looking underneath the apron this time, he pulls out a baseball bat, which the crowd appear happy to see, he then rolls back into the ring.

John Cena
Now if I'm right, this is usually done blindfolded, and that's why I wore a black shirt tonight.

Cena lowers his microphone to the canvas and pulls his shirt over his head.

John Cena
I hope you guys are ready to direct me, because if you wanna see Bray Wyatt get the snot beaten out of him tonight, I'm going to need some help.

Cena drops his baseball bat to the canvas and proceeds to wrap his shirt around his eyes, leaving him completely without sight. Trying to remember where he put the baseball bat, Cena feels around the canvas, eventually getting to the baseball bat, and grabbing it with his right hand. All of a sudden…









Darkness…

Jerry Lawler
Oh no..

The lights return and we see John Cena reaching out with his left hand for the pinata. Due to the blindfold, he mistook the crowd's reaction towards the lights as their excitement towards the eventual smashing of The Eater of Worlds.

Jerry Lawler
John!! Watch out!!

Cena grabs at the air, desperately trying to find the pinata. Finally his hand touches something… But it is not what he expected. Is that… Corse Hair?…  He raises the mic.

John Cena
This doesn't feel like a-

Cena's mic hand is grabbed and brought to the lips of…. Erick Rowan..

Erick Rowan
Run.



The lights go pitch black once again… All of a sudden the tron lights up, bringing about the only source of light in the whole arena



Bray Wyatt
John, you are a LIAR… A liar full of broken promises and empty words … You PROMISE to keep your CeNation safe, you PROMISE them that everything will be okay.. Liar.. YOU'RE A LIAR JOHN CENA!! You know that everything is NOT okay, you know that the CeNation is NEVER safe. You're just as bad as the wolves John. Just like them you choose to cover up the evils of this world rather than expose them for what they truly are, simply because you're too afraid to get your hands dirty. You stand for illusions.. I AM NO ILLUSION, I AM VERY REAL JOHN CENA… And I WILL get my hands dirty, bloody, or whatever it takes to create the change that this world needs.



Bray Wyatt
You promised your CeNation a celebration tonight, and you couldn't even follow through with that. But don't worry John Cena, I will save your party, I will give these people something to celebrate…

The lights go back to normal and we can see John Cena sprawled out in the middle of the ring, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan standing over him.

Michael Cole
This is why you should never ignore a Wyatt!!!



Bray Wyatt's face is no longer on the titantron. Instead The Eater of Worlds is shown making his way down the ring!!!

Jerry Lawler
This doesn't look good for the Number One Contender!!!

Bray enters the ring, greeting both of his brothers before turning his attention back to Cena.

Jerry Lawler
What do you think the Eater of Worlds has planned here?

Michael Cole
With Bray Wyatt, you never know!!

Bray grabs Cena and quickly drags him into position for the Sister Abigail!!!!!!

Michael Cole
Here it is!! Sister Abigail!!! Will Bray Wyatt finally use it??! Will he save John Cena right here tonight!!!!??!?

Bray looks down with a huge grin before leaning towards The CeNation Leader's forehead to save him when….



Bray drops Cena to the canvas and looks up as none other than Shawn Michaels comes bounding down the ramp!!!

Jerry Lawler
It looks like Shawn is repaying the favor from last week!!

Shawn slides in under the bottom rope and gets up to his feet, staring off with the three men in front of him. Bray quickly orders Harper to attack, Harper charges towards Shawn, who ducks underneath him, and fires a huge super kick toward Rowan, knocking him clean out as Bray looks on in amazement. Having missed with his initial attack, Harper looks to take Shawn down again, this time from behind, but Shawn senses him behind him, and once again ducks beneath his arm, Harper charges towards him again, and HBK send him flying out of the ring as the crowd cheer him on.

Jim Ross
This is amazing! In just a couple of seconds, shawn Michaels has cleared the ring of Luke Harper and Eric Rowan!

Michael Cole
But Bray Wyatt is still in the ring, J.R, it's not over yet.

Shawn Michael stares at the bewildered Bray Wyatt, preparing himself for a fight, but much to his surprise, Bray breaks into an eerie laughter, not taking his eyes off Shawn Michaels as he drops to his knees and rolls out of the ring, followed closely by the still dazed Rowan. With the Wyatt's outside the ring, HBK turns to Cena and offers him his hand, Cena takes it and pulls himself back to his feet.

Jerry Lawler
What a show of respect from Shawn Michaels here, paying back the favour by saving John Cena from what could have been his end.

The Wyatt family slowly back their way up the ramp, with Wyatt still laughing, while Cena and HBK stand side by side as Shawn Michaels' music hits one more time before the screen fades to black.

[/i]

As Breakdown returns from one of its many scheduled commercial breaks for the evening, we're taken backstage to where one of the recipients of a brutal and seemingly uncalled for attack at the hands of the “Beautiful Fierce Females” at Supremacy in Paige is shown backstage in front of a camera. Paige doesn't waste any time and begins to speak the second she looks towards the camera.



{Paige}
Supremacy was a bitter night for me, not only was I unsuccessful at regaining the Divas Championship, I was attacked from behind by these so called “BFFs” who claimed to be better than every other “diva” in this company. That's fine and dandy, but here's the thing, Charlotte, Sasha, I'm not a “diva.” I am the exact opposite of that, I'm the Anti-Diva. You may think that you're better than everybody else, you may think that we're beneath you, but until you actually prove that, the cold, hard reality is that you're no better than the “divas” you pretend to be superior to.



{Paige}
Wrestling may be in your blood, Charlotte, but last time I checked, it was also in mine. Attacking myself and Bayley from behind doesn't prove that you're better than us, it just proves that you are nothing more than a coward. I find it sad that the only thing you both will be known for is showing that your bark was in fact bigger than your bite. And in Sasha's case, she's shown that no matter how much she pretends to be a great wrestler, she just can't get the job done when it matters.



{Paige}
First, it was failing to become Divas Champion some months ago, then just recently where your “long awaited” return ended as quickly as it began. I was personally going to knock you off your pedestal and bring you back to reality, but it seems both of you did that to yourselves.

Just when it seemed Paige would continue speaking, she abruptly stops, her gaze being caught by something off camera. A feeling of deja vu falling over the seemingly deserted room as Paige continues looking towards something unknown to both the live audience in attendance and the people watching at home. Is it the BFFs taking exception to Paige's words or someone much worse? It's quickly revealed that it's neither, instead it's the hug addict, Bayley! She walks into view of the camera, seemingly in awe of the former Divas Champion and remains looking at her with a star struck look in her eyes. After a few potentially awkward moments of silence, Bayley finally musters up the courage to begin speaking.

[Bayley]
Paige! We don't have to worry about the BFF's anymore! They might have attacked us, and they even snapped my headband..But we can fight them!... We can be a team! We'll make a awesome team! You can fight Charlotte..I'll fight Sasha..We can take them down together! You and me!

The joy on Bayley's face at her own idea is clear to see, as her face almost lights up with excitement at the idea of teaming with Paige. It's clear Paige doesn't share the same feeling but that doesn't seem to stop Bayley leaning in for a hug on Paige!

[Bayley]
We can wear matching attires...You can even share my headbands! I've got purple ones, I've got black ones...You can have any of them!And...We.... We can warm up for matches by pogo-sticking together! We'll be the best team ever!

Once again Bayley's face lights up like a fat kid looking at a cake, but Paige still isn't into the idea as the look on her face is more confused than ever.



{Paige}
You know, Bayley, the last time I was in a team, it ended with me being kicked in the face and if that wasn't bad enough, I then got pinned by a Bella Twin. I know the “BFFs” snapped one of your seemingly infinite headbands, I know that deep down inside you're out for revenge, even though you do a somewhat great job at not showing it, but this isn't your fight, Bayley. They targeted me, you were just at the wrong place at the wrong time, and as much as you would like to help, I don't need it.

With the verge of her hopes of teaming with Paige being broken, Bayley looks towards Paige, who begins to turn around to potentially get ready for her match against Tamina later on in the evening, but is stopped in her tracks as Bayley grabs her arms and turns her back around.

[Bayley]
But...but we can be like a female Hardy Boys...or like a female Edge and Christian! We can take down the BFF's together! I know you don't need my help..you could them down by yourself but think of what can do together! We'll be better than United Queendom, We'll be better than BFFs! We'll even be better than the Bella Twins! It'll be so much fun! Just think of the fun we can have! We can have parties..we can have balloons! We can have...

Paige then cuts of Bayley with a sigh, her message clearly isn't getting through to Bayley.



{Paige}
While I agree with you, we would be better than The Bella Twins, I mean, it's the Bellas. We're already better than the “BFFs,” and I'm sure you would be a way better partner than Layla was. For starters, you wouldn't kick me in the face and force us to disband. Then you wouldn't become a “dancer” for someone as creepy as Fandango after you failed to regain your Divas Championship and were forced to tap out two Pay-Per-Views in a row. But as much as you want to help, you're going to have to sit this one out. I know you mean well and want to have “fun,” but right now, “fun” isn't what I want, what I do want... is revenge.

Bayley shows a moment of disappointment before an idea clearly pops into her head

[Bayley]
But if you ever need help..I can help!When you're finished with Charlotte and Sahsa...we can make our own BFF's....You can be Bayley's Friend Forever!


Bayley them removes the headband from her head and holds it out to Paige, who reluctantly accepts the headband which clearly excites Bayley as a huge smile comes across her face before she places a huge hug on Paige before Paige breaks free and walks away! Bayley is left standing almost jumping up and down on the spot in excitement with the smile still across her face.

Normal Match



Upon returning from a commercial break, the opening shot shows that former bitter rivals, Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose, are laid out in the center of the ring. A brief picture in picture shot shows that both men were on the top rope during the break before they were sent crashing down into the canvas with a Superplex, courtesy of Dean Ambrose. With neither man getting the better of that maneuver, the race to make it to their feet, as well as taking control of the momentum thus far is underway.

On opposite ends of the ring, both men begins to slowly rise up to their feet, using the ropes to their advantage as the live audience in attendance seems to be behind both men with dueling chants in hopes that their favorite in the match will take control. Almost simultaneously, they both make it up to their feet and stumble towards the center of the ring, where they begin trading unforgiving forearm shots, with Bryan landing the first and Ambrose following suit right after.

With neither person backing down from the other, it quickly becomes a battle of pride as every forearm shot is answered with one from the person looking them in the eye. Each shot slowly begins to pick up more speed than the last, until they eventually begin unloading at a quickened pace. With neither man seemingly able to get the upper hand in this battle of pride, it quickly becomes a fight to see who can outlast the other.

One well placed shot sends Ambrose staggering backwards, giving Bryan the opening he needed to take control. Just as he takes a step forward to continue his assault, Ambrose comes firing back with a forearm of his own, catching Bryan off guard and sends him stumbling backwards, the pace now being slowed. Bryan's back hits the ropes, giving him some momentum as he's pushed forward towards Ambrose, hitting Ambrose across the jaw with a forearm. Ambrose is now the one that's sent into the ropes and just like Bryan moments ago, he too uses the ropes to his advantage, catching Bryan with a well placed shot, yielding the same result.

Bryan returns the favor and with as much strength as he could muster, goes all in on one final forearm shot in an attempt to put an end to this battle. The second it collides, Ambrose is sent flying back into the ropes and is seemingly going to fly out of the ring. Instead of doing that, he kicks his knees up, causing them to hit the top rope, not only stopping his unceremonious ring exit and launches himself back into the ring, catching an unsuspecting Daniel Bryan with a stiff lariat, nearly turning him inside out.

Opting against a pinfall attempt, Ambrose sees his opening and backs himself into a corner, looking at Bryan with an expression of ill intent etched on his face. His intentions quickly become clear the second he begins raising his arm up towards Bryan, taking the all too familiar shape of a gun. He takes a moment to line up his target before “pulling the trigger,” the imitation of recoil causing his hand to flick upwards. Ambrose makes a beeline towards his seemingly unsuspecting target, ready to put an end to this match, but Bryan is able to avoid contact, nearly causing Ambrose to crash into the turnbuckle on the diagonal end of the ring.

Ambrose turns around, ready to try again but just as he runs from the turnbuckle, he's taken down onto the canvas by Bryan with a knee of his own. Not wasting a single moment, he quickly goes for the cover.


1...


2...


Ambrose somehow has the wherewithal to place his foot on the bottom rope.


3!




The theme of Daniel Bryan begins to play throughout the arena, a wave of “Yes!” chants filling the ring as Bryan gets his arm raised by the official. He releases Bryan's arm, causing the victor of this contest to shout, “Yes!” at the top of his lungs, along with the live audience in attendance. Meanwhile, the referee spots that Ambrose had his foot on the bottom rope and quickly goes towards Bryan, possibly to tell him about his mistake, but before he could do that, he stops in his tracks and raises an arm up to his earpiece.

After a few seconds, the referee nods his head and exits the ring, leaving Bryan to remain celebrating his win with the crowd. Shortly after, he follows suit and exits the ring, still shouting “Yes!” as he makes his way up the ramp before disappearing backstage. Meanwhile, back in the ring, Ambrose is slowly starting to make it to his feet, still feeling the effects of the running knee, courtesy of Daniel Bryan.

Ambrose makes it to his feet, but not without help from the ring ropes, livid that the referee didn't see that he had his foot on the ropes and still awarded Daniel Bryan the win. He walks over to the side of the ring nearest to the timekeepers area and demands a microphone, quickly receiving one almost instantly. Ambrose stands in the center of the ring, anger radiating from him, but before he could utter a single word, he's met with a boot to the face, sending him crashing down onto the canvas with a thud.

The culprit is quickly revealed to be none other than the man that took the World Heavyweight Championship from Ambrose a few weeks back, The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. A smirk comes across his face as Ambrose remains on the canvas before raises the World Heavyweight Championship up above his head and leaves as quickly as he appeared. The last image shown is Shawn Michaels making his way up the ramp with his championship in tow while Ambrose remains laid out in the ring.

Breakdown returns after a commercial break to see the current Intercontinental Champion, Sheamus, about to arrive.




[Michael Cole]
Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to tonight's episode of Breakdown, and hurry back to your seats right now because here comes The Intercontinental Champion!

[JR]
Sheamus has been an ever so dominant champion, one must ask, who will step up to the plate next?

[King]
Obviously someone has to, or else this guy could be champion forever! That Brogue kick of his will you down and out for a count of ten and then some!


Sheamus walks down the ramp with a mic in hand, and proceeds to look at the crowd around him. One particular fan, looking shorter and much smaller in size compared to The Celtic Warrior, carries a sign that says "Sheamus sucks" on it. Sheamus notices the sign and begins to walk toward the fan, who crouches behind the barricade in fear of Sheamus possibly assaulting him. Sheamus laughs at the fan and rolls in the ring.

Sheamus:
What a great time to be King! Finally, The Celtic Warrior, or as you should call him, your master, has come to make his presence known once again! I see most of you people are used to booing me, and that's just fine. Not every ruler has to be loved by his people, as a matter of fact, as Nicolo Machiavelli once said in his great book The Prince, it is far more preferred if a ruler is feared rather than loved, because let's think about it; a ruler would be far less susceptible to an attack by the people he's ruling over if they have nightmares of the man every night rather than if he is loved and appreciated by them! That age old principle also applies here fella, because I know that everyone in that locker room is absolutely quivering in their boots when they see their king walk across the hallway! I can see it in their eyes, and I can almost read their thoughts too! They're thinking, "Oh Lord, please don't let this man give a massive kick to me face! The last thing I'd want to bring home is a face that nobody recognizes anymore!"



Sheamus pauses for a moment and clears his throat.

[JR]
Never lacking in confidence is The Intercontinental Champion, and you've gotta hand it to him, he is coming off a hugely impressive title defense at Supremacy.


[King]
He didn't just defeat Johnny Gargano, he absolutely destroyed The Whole Shebang all by himself!

[Michael Cole]
Revenge was on his mind, and that's exactly what he had, revenge.

Sheamus:
You see, what I do every week is make your other champions look weak and pathetic! Remember when Shawn Michaels wasn't the World Heavyweight Champion? Remember when The Celtic Warrior faced off against him for this very belt and The Heart Break Kid got his arse kicked from bell to bell? It only took Vince McMahon to stop the match and save Shawn's arse from being completely embarrassed in front of the entire world! He might have that World Heavyweight Championship sitting on his shoulder, but the fact remains: He knows that I can meet him in this very ring and rearrange his face on my worst day! So, if you look up to this man as being a "hero" or a "legend", just know that all your positive beliefs about the man are a lie! He's a coward and nowhere near the "righteous champion" you all claim him to be. The facts are there: The Celtic Warrior still has not lost fairly yet, still, nobody has managed to pin me for the one two three, and that's what separates me from the rest of your paper champions; a record unlike any other and dominance not seen in any other champion!

[King]
I think Roman Reigns might be giving him a run for his money, they've both been on a tear, and Roman's was ever so evident earlier tonight!

[Michael Cole]
He massacred several XWL hopefuls, that's nothing to be proud of!

[JR]
I'd beg to differ, Cole. Roman wants to know who he'll be defending his title against next, just like Sheamus of course wants to know that answer himself.

Sheamus puts the mic away from his face for a moment to see the crowd booing him. He starts to talk again.

Sheamus:
So, where does that leave me? Who can possibly be good enough to challenge King Sheamus for this very title? Nobody. Nobody will ever even get close to taking what is rightfully mine. You could get the strongest of the strongest, the smartest of the smartest, or the best of the best, and I would still make them look like a little child compared to yours truly! Simply put, nobody in their right mind has the gall to challenge the greatest Intercontinental Champion this company has ever seen!

Suddenly he is interrupted by a certain theme, and Sheamus does not look amused.....





The Whole Shebang once again have interrupted the Celtic Warrior mid speech! Sheamus begins pacing the ring and he looks furious as he awaits just like the rest of us for the trio to make there way out on stage.

[JR]
Well this just got interesting, is Johnny Gargano shooting for round two?

[King]
If you ask me I'd say he already went through one, two, three, four, and five after the beating he took from Sheamus two weeks ago!

[Michael Cole]
Johnny nearly captured The Intercontinental Championship, I think if granted another opportunity he'd finish what he started, and that's the end of The Celtic Warrior's reign as champion.

[JR]
Oh of course, he's not alone...

[King]
There's Tomko and DiBiase, the other two parts of what has been named "The Whole Shebang" and while they've got it all, it still wasn't enough to dethrone Sheamus. So I'm not exactly sure what they're doing out here.

The wait is not too long because soon out comes The Problem Solver, the big man walks through the curtain and looks back and forth on stage then motions to the back as he says "It's clear." Once those words come out of his mouth out come Johnny Gargano and Ted DiBiase. The Fortunate Son has a smirk on his face while Gargano looks serious for once in his life. Tomko is standing right where the ramp begins to slope down as Johnny Gargano walks in front of him only to come to a stop not going any closer to the man who defeated him at Supremacy. Ted joins Gargano while Tomko stands behind both men clearly showing his height. Somehow Johnny was given a microphone backstage that he pulls out of his hoodie he is wearing. The self proclaimed Whole Shebang raises the microphone up and then clears his throat.


Johnny Gargano
Woah... woah... woah Sheamus. Let me get this straight real quick....You think you have not lost fairly yet?!... Hey Tomko, buddy I think you kicked any brains that ghost had out of him because clearly this man Ted DiBiase beat your little table streak you had going! You stand out here Sheamus and spew nothing but lies from your mouth. You say your the king of the XWL but you know its funny, your not. I hate to admit it but hey the king of XWL right now is one of the men that me and Teddy here have the previlege of dethroning tonight and thats John Cena. But you know us coming out here interupting you has nothing to do with the main event... What it does deal with is that little title on your shoulder. You see at Supremacy we all witnessed it! We saw you kick my teeth down my throat! You where the one ghost that I could not bust but its ok Sheamus, it really is ok because later that night I busted a whole lot in another ghost if you catch my drift.... But in all seriousness buddy you got what we need. You talk about how you are the most dominate champion but really what tests have you been put through? Missssssster Keeeeeeeeennnnneeeeedy....... Keeeeeeeennnnneeeeeedy was a joke of a challenger. I lost because my eye was of the ball but you know what...... The Whole Shebang's eye is on the ball and Sheamus if you are really the champion you claim to be then you will put that belt on the line at Digital Decsion again---

Before he could finish himself, The Intercontinental Champion interjects, prompting us to cut to Sheamus in the ring.

Sheamus:
Fella, I can put this title on the line each and every day I'm out here, and the result would still be the same! I would Brogue Kick your face into dust! Your eye was off the ball last time because I kicked it into a different direction, hell, I think I made you cross-eyed for a little while! And even thought your little lackey might have put me through a table, it doesn't change the fact that I knocked all three of you out on your arses when you tried to gang up on The Celtic Warrior! You could send any man, and I mean any man after me and I would utterly destroy them in a matter of minutes! Johnny, I've undergone many tests, with and without this belt in tow! I've beaten several World Heavyweight Champions at the height of their reigns, what have you done lately? You've come around here time after time and annoyed the living hell out of people for the last couple of weeks! You're not going to be known for anything around here other than being a complete nuisance, one that I am intent on finally destroying once and for all! So why don't you come on out here and make yourself famous one last time by stepping into the ring right here, right now.

We cut back to The Whole Shebang, where Ted and Tomko stare down the long stretched ramp, at the champion while Johnny prepares to respond to Sheamus and the "garbage" that spewed out of his mouth with every word he spoke. The former Number One Contender does not at all look amused in the least bit by what he had to say, and that's ever so clear by just looking into his eyes as they pierce from afar like throwing knives ready to strike Sheamus in an instant.

Johnny Gargano
I've annoyed these fans?!.... I think you got me mistaken for yourself 'fella'. You want me too come down there and fall into your trap?... Nah thats not how The Whole Shebang does it. We do things on our time. When ever we want to beat you down we will. When ever Teddy and myself want to beat those two chumps tonight we will. You.... you're not worth our time right here at this very second. What is worth our time is making it up to these people for you having to talk and talk and talk but having nothing interesting to say. You talk about The Tank Tyson Tomko and call him my lackey?... Are you serious? A lackey? The only thing he lacks is remorse when ever he put your 'arse' through a table. You make promises Sheamus and I find that real cute so I will make one as well.. I promise you next time we get our hands on you it won't be Good 'Fella' and I'm not talking about Ray Liotta, Robert De Niro, or Joe Pesci. So you Ghost, it looks like you gotta problem.

Right on cue, Tomko's hand extends and Johnny passes the microphone off to him. What will The Problem Solver have to say? Well, it's certainly going to be a lot more than the silent superstar standing beside him.  

Tyson Tomko
I love how you give me undeserved credit for putting you through a table and ending your streak. I wish I was that good! All that praise should be going Teddy over here!

The crowd boos as they know that's not the truth at all, it was all Tomko, on that fateful night that The Whole Shebang came to fruition. For it was thanks to Tomko that Ted DiBiase is technically known as the man that did what no other man has, and that's put Sheamus through a table. Tomko's hand pats Ted's shoulder repeatedly, all three men smiling for a brief moment. But those smiles soon fade, as we see that Tyson Tomko still has more to say.

Tyson Tomko
But what you can give me credit for is being the one who is going to send the REAL nuisance Nakamura back to his home country of Japan to live his career in a company that will forever be in the shadow of XWL. And listen here, I give credit where credit is due and I commend you on being one hell of a champ, but that title would look so much better around one our waists...and to me, that sounds like a problem...WE can solve right now!

Slamming the microphone down with a huge thud, Tomko along with Ted DiBiase and Johnny Gargano leave their post at the top of the stage, and set their sights on the ring. The boos get louder, as the fans remember how things went last time when Sheamus was brutally assaulted at ringside by these three, and while Sheamus is by no means their favorite, he's a helluva lot better than these three.

[JR]
The Whole Shebang are at it again, they assaulted The World Heavyweight Champion last week, and now they're about to surround The Intercontinental Champion!

[King]
But Sheamus has been through this before, he's not about to cower in fear at this numbers game that does not at all favor him...he dealt with The Whole Shebang at Supremacy, and sent them packing...if you ask me, this isn't a good idea!

[Michael Cole]
Oh shut up, that was one night, did you see what Ted, Johnny, and Tomko did last week? They massacred Shawn Michaels, they're coming back from Supremacy's setback, and making a real impact!


Removing his shirt, title, and casting his microphone aside, Sheamus stomps the mat, like a bull seeing red...and it's not his hair it's three hot shots that think they can take him down! Johnny rushes forward, sliding into the ring just before Tomko, allowing Sheamus an instant thought of taking them all out one at a time...he swings for a clotheesline that would no doubt knock Johnny for one hell of a loop...but the former challenger ducks under his arm, almost seeing that exact scenario happen in his head and coming up with the perfect evasion plan. Sheamus spins around to get Johnny before he could pull anything funny, but that's exactly what they wanted him to do! Because as he turns away from the ramp, Tomko slides in and grabs both arms, pulling them up and tightly locking in a Full Nelson! Is this shades of last week's Main-Event assault?

[King]
Uh-oh! That's what they did last week!

[Michael Cole]
And that's what lead to them laying out The New World Champion!



No it's not shades of last week, because Sheamus is a bigger, more powerful figure and keeping him locked in this hold, at least without a bit of a beating first was a mistake Tomko and The Whole Shebang themselves are about to regret. Tearing out of Tomko's grasp, Sheamus doesn't stop there because he reaches behind, grabbing a stunned Tomko and throwing him overhead as if he were basketball getting dunked! The Big Man flies over head, stumbling back to his feet, though shocked by how that just went horribly wrong. Johnny stops himself from coming back around, not wanting to run into one of his partners, as even he is in disbelief at what just happened. Disbelief that doesn't even have time to quickly go away natrually, because Sheamus isn't done yet! Within a split second, The Intercontinental Champion plunges forward, kicking his boot up and connecting with a vicious Brogue Kick that has so much power it sends Tomko falling into Johnny, who flips over the ropes, pulling them down in the instance that Tomko hit them which sends him crashing to the outside as well!  

[JR]
Bah gawd almighty, WHAT A KICK!

[King]
You can say that again, JR! Sheamus was ready for whatever these guys had coming, and that couldn't have gone any worse for The Whole Shebang!

[Michael Cole]
Everything? You sure about that, JR?


[JR]
Yes he did, look they're all- wait a secon-

[King]
SHEAMUS! BEHIND YOU!


Once roaring with excitement, the crowd in the span of a second soon becomes consumed with boos as Sheamus cracks a smile, proud of himself...not realizing that there's still one more man in this situation, and he's right behind him! Almost as if this were the plan from the get go, Ted grabs the unsuspecting Sheamus from behind, tightly pulling his arms up against himself, then before he could even have a chance to power out like earlier, Ted lifts him off his feet, launching him up into the air and slamming him down with The Silencer!  



[JR]
Ted just laid out Sheamus! TED JUST LAID OUT SHEAMUS!

[Michael Cole]
He's the experience of the group for a reason, and that reason is right before you ladies and gentlemen!

[King]
Wait, is he...do you think he's Sheamus' next challenger?!


Smiling bigger than he has since his crushing defeat at Final Stand, Ted towers over The Celtic Warrior, making a statement without uttering a single word. DiBiase's hand grabs The Intercontinental Champion off of the mat, eyeing the very prize that he first sought after when arriving onto the scene so many years ago. The title that first eluded him, the one that got away....is now in his grasp and it feels good...it brings a surge of energy through him and you can tell just by look at him that this....THIS is what he wants.




Johnny Gargano and Tyson Tomko pick themselves up off the floor, and slowly enter the ring with big bright smiles on their faces. Johnny stands to the left of Ted, pointing to him with a "he's got this" type of look on his face. While Tomko stands at DiBiase's right his eyes lowered at the fallen Sheamus who had just tried to kick his teeth down his throat, but now the joke...it's on him. Because the one challenging Sheamus at Digital Decision isn't Johnny, it's not Tomko...the second Ted raises that title above his head, and looks down at Sheamus with a more determined look on his face than we've perhaps ever seen...it all becomes so clear, it's Ted.    

[JR]
They say actions speak louder than words, and that phrase has never been more truer than it is right now!

[King]
The Whole Shebang might have learned from their mistakes made at Supremacy, and are now looking to rectify those with Ted as the challenger this time.

[Michael Cole]
If at first you don't succeed, try try again...and that's exactly what they're doing. Who better to oppose Sheamus than practically the only man in recent memory to actually hold a victory over him?

[JR]
A fair point, Cole...but as we saw when Johnny tried to take that title from Sheamus, this is going to be a lot easier said...than it will be to actually do it.


The Whole Shebang stand tall over Sheamus, proudly endorsing the next challenger...their own Ted DiBiase. While he's the one in the group that never says a word, his actions cover everything that ever needs to be said. Ted lowers down to the mat, placing the belt on Sheamus before standing back up and intensely staring into the distance as our cameras zoom in.




His eyes tell a story that he wants to be Intercontinental Champion, that he's reinvigorated by just being so close to it...and he will do everything within his power, to attain what so many told him for so very long....was unattainable. Will The Whole Shebang's second superstar to vie for The Intercontinental Championship be the one to dethrone Sheamus? Well it's hard to say given how dangerous Sheamus is on his own, but as they say....it's always the quiet ones you should worry about.

As Breakdown continues the cameras are focused on Paul Heyman and his client Cesaro who are already stood in the middle of the ring as Cesaro's theme slowly fades out and Heyman who already has a microphone in his hand starts to address the crowd



Paul Heyman: Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman and in case you hadn't noticed already this man right here standing to my right is my client The King of Swing! The Swiss Superman and the Pound for pound strongest man in XWL today, Ces..ar..o!

Heyman gestures over to Cesaro who raises his arm whilst signalling for the Cesaro Swing as the crowd boo the duo, but as per usual a section of the crowd cheer, staying faithful to the gospel according to Heyman

Paul Heyman: Who unfortunately as you can clearly see he suffered a minor injury to the eye, which means he will be unable to compete tonight, however I can assure you that my client will be ready for in ring competition as per usual next week on Breakdown... Just not for free. And you hopefully all remember last week I told you all, the XWL Universe that my client Cesaro had something that he needed to tell the entire world and that be more specific my client Cesaro had something that he needed to tell to Sami Zayn, preferably to his face, but...

As the boos continue to echo through out the crowd Heyman stops speaking in his tracks and takes a moment to ensure that he's hearing things correctly and after a second or two he starts speaking once again



Paul Heyman: I'm sorry, but booing? You're booing me? Clearly you're confused, because my client Cesaro is a three time United States champion, my client Cesaro speaks five! That's right ladies and gentlemen five languages, my client Cesaro is the next breakout star in XWL today and has done so much in so little time, so much so that if he were to retire today he would still be a first ballot Hall of Famer. And yet, you boo me, you boo him, you boo us? What you should be booing in the unjust firing of my client The Extreme Machine, Bully Ray, what you should be booing is the indefinite suspension of my client The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar!

Upon the mentioning of the other two Paul Heyman Guys the crowd boo again although one would have to assume they're happy to know that they won't be seeing Brock Lesnar or Bully Ray in an XWL ring anytime soon

Paul Heyman: That's something worth booing, and if it was up to me Brock Lesnar and Bully Ray would be stood in this ring with us right now, but unfortunately due to circumstances out side of my control that is not possible. But what is possible is my client and close personal friend The Second City Saint, The Voice of the Voiceless, The Best Wrestler in the World!

As Heyman say his clients name the crowd loudly and emphatically say it along with him



Paul Heyman: C...M... Punk!

Quickly following that the crowd cheer for their favorite superstar, CM Punk, having recently seen him earlier this evening as he had yet another encounter with Fandango

Paul Heyman: ..And he just so happens to be the current Money in the Bank holder, and that means if my client and best friend where to make his way down this ramp after the mainevent tonight and hand over his briefcase to cash in the aforementioned briefcase then you would be witnessing a brand new World Heavyweight champion!

The crowd cheer again, this time over the possibility of what Paul Heyman just suggested actually happening and they quickly turn to chanting his name "CM Punk! CM Punk! CM Punk!" forcing Heyman and Cesaro to wait for the crowd to finish their CM Punk love in before continuing



Paul Heyman: But that's not for me to say.. It's not my decision, and if you want to know when CM Punk will be crowning himself the new XWL World Heavyweight champion then there's only one person you need to ask and that person is C..M.. Punk... Who as you already know is here tonight!

The crowd cheer again, clearly not being able to get enough of CM Punk as Heyman nods is approval

Paul Heyman: See, now that's more like it. But now, back to the point, before I was interrupted I was about to tell you all the breaking news that the man who so cowardly attacked my client Cesaro at Supremacy Sami Zayn walked out earlier today and has quit XWL.

With Heyman reminding them that Sami Zayn has indeed left XWL just weeks after making his debut the crowd start to boo in disappointment



Paul Heyman: For once I agree, I do. And Cesaro agrees too, because we spent to entire week looking forward to this moment, we were going to come out here and challenge Sami Zayn to a match at Digital Decision to prove not only to him, but the entire world that when I interrupted him just moments before he showed just how much of a coward he was when he jumped my client that I was right. I was right when I told Sami Zayn that was good. Because it's true he is good, in fact one day he might be very good and he still might, but he isn't good enough to be a Paul Heyman guy, and that says it all. So instead Cesaro and I stand here before the world to issue an open challenge to any man, woman or child sitting in the back, in the stands, even up in the nose bleeds seats if you have the balls to answer the challenge then be my guest. We don't even care if you're in Japan, in the United States of America, Canada, Europe, you could even be in an Orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico for all we care, if anyone has the balls to answer the challenge then we gladly accept.

As he finishes speaking Heyman drops his microphone on the mat as his client theme starts to play through the arena



Turning to Cesaro, Heyman motions to him that it's time to go as Breakdown heads to a promotional video for The Phenomenal AJ Styles

**Breakdown returns from commercials and we are backstage with an backstage interviewer standing around waiting for someone.**

Interviewer
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to Breakdown. A week or so ago at the Supremacy pay per view, The Wyatt Family, or should I say, Luke Harper, attacked new up and coming wrestler Adam Cole after a couple of weeks of very mysterious arrivals from Luke Harper seemingly aiming his attention to Adam Cole. This has cost him a few of his matches so far in XWL so at Supremacy Adam Cole called out Luke Harper but he didn't really get answers on why Harper called him out but just another cryptic speech. Cole lashed out and faced the consequences but many said Cole was lucky to escape with a tame beating but that beating did cause him to miss last week’s show but I understand he is here and ready for action. I am hoping to interview him now, oh and here he comes.

**Adam Cole comes storming around the corner with a face like thunder and looks like he is ready to beat the crap out of someone. The interviewer moves in the way of Adam Cole's path which makes Cole stop but he doesn't look happy about it. The interviewer goes to ask a question but Cole cuts him off.**

Adam Cole
Buddy, I know you mean well, I know you’re trying to get an exclusive on how I feel right now but I am sorry you’re just going to have to wait until I get my ass into that ring because I want to call that son of a bitch Harper out to the ring and how about round 2 without any of his buddies with him.

Interviewer
Are you sure that is a wise choice Adam? I mean you were lucky to escape with such a minor injury. This time you might not be so lucky.

**Cole totally ignores what the interviewer has to say and pushes past him storming towards the gorilla position and on his way to the ring. A video package starts advertising the pre-order of Supremacy on DVD and Blu-ray.**


**We come back and we are ringside when suddenly,



Adam Cole's music begins to play and the crowd starts to cheer for the new upcoming star in XWL. Adam Cole storms out from behind the curtain and the crowd reaction gets louder. Adam Cole still has the face like thunder and is moving down to the ring with some pace. He doesn't even have time to slap high fives with the crowd as he is focused on getting down to the ring in double time. Cole makes it the ringside and walks over the timekeeper’s corner and grabs a microphone and then jumps up on the apron and enters the ring through the ropes. Cole starts banging on the mic to make sure it is working whilst he is pacing around the ring. He lifts the mic and begins to talk.**



Adam Cole
LUKE HARPER!!!!!

GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW

**Adam Cole is still pacing and looks even angrier if that is even possible. A few minutes pass with Cole pacing around but there is no reply from Luke Harper. Cole lifts the mic once again.**



Adam Cole
Luke Harper, I know you’re not scared of me, goddamn why the hell would you be after what you did to me at Supremacy. I know that you are here somewhere because I can smell the stench. I can sense that your redneck ass is here. Well I am not leaving this ring until you decide to answer me. You might not be scared of me, but get one thing right, I am sure as hell not scared of you. Last week you showed your cards and you showed that you can only get the better of me when you got your brother or whoever he is involved and blind siding me. But that's not the only thing I want you to answer to, I want you to tell me what the hell you was talking about. What evil do I have deep down, what the hell am I really trying to hide behind my smile?? What is all the cryptic crap you’re talking about because I am here to do one thing in XWL and that’s to become the best. I came here to climb the ladder in the top company in all of professional wrestling. I understood when I came through that door there would be roadblock, there would be speed bumps but I would get through those. Hell I understand that you might see me as a speed bump on your way to the top but why not come out and say that and we can a referee down here and have a goddamn wrestling match. So come on Harper where the hell are you?

**Adam Cole now removes his t-shirt and throws it the ground in a temper getting more frustrated that Harper has not replied to him yet. Cole has stopped pacing around the ring but he is standing in the middle of the ring ready for Harper to show up but as of yet he hasn't showed up.**

Adam Cole
Goddamn it you son of a ......



**An eerie whistling of a tune unknown is heard echoing in a location unknown as the cameras cut to a feed playing on the titantron. The room is covered in a thick sheet of blackness and it would appear it holds no contents until the camera pans to the left to reveal a sheep mask being held in someone’s hand mere inches from the camera.



After a zoom out, the arm is revealed to belong to Luke Harper and the deranged individual passes the object over to Erick Rowan.**



Luke Harper
You should be careful what you wish for.



**The camera swings over to Rowan who slips the mask over his face, then slowly straightens lifts his head so that he’s looking in the direction of the camera.**



Erick Rowan
Run.

**Harper continues looking down at the ground and his heavy breathing fills the void of silence left behind as Rowan’s lone word or warning is left to linger in the air for several tense moments.**



Luke Harper
The stench burning the hairs in your nostrils is the fear you refuse to admit is seeping out through your own pores. The answers you demand have been in front of you all along. These are the things that you won’t allow yourself you believe, but ignorance does not beget invisibility and the who can see you for what you are will not dissipate in the winds of denial if you close your eyes hard enough.



Erick Rowan
Open your eyes…



Luke Harper
Even in the shadows of your self-imposed blindness the monsters still lurk, the monsters still prowl, the monsters will wait for the perfect time to strike. Supremacy was a warning, last week was a blessing, tonight will be doomsday. When leaders choose to send their nations to war they remain free of the danger they’ve imposed on their people as they watch from their throne on the sideline.

Erick Rowan
Playing God in a land not far removed from hell.



Luke Harper
Hand-picking the brainwashed who will sacrificed on their behalf; staining the dirt of their land red while their pockets are filled with green. These people are sending you into a war, Adam Cole; a war you are far too sane to win. With their cheers they’re pushing you down a dangerous path, one they’ll never have to set foot on from the safety of their seats, while you’re left to endure all the blows, bear the burden and live with the scars.

Erick Rowan
Scars that will never heal.



Luke Harper
Scars that will be inflicted in the battle these people have led you to ask for and in their hands lay your ultimate fate. Democracy means the uneducated and the foolish are tasked to decide they know best about matters foreign to them. What do they know about the pain and misery that awaits you? Soon, when they’re task to choose from three unfortunate fates for you we’ll see if you’re truly their hero, or just another replaceable source of entertainment.

Erick Rowan
One.

Luke Harper
You get me…alone.

Erick Rowan
Two.

Luke Harper
My brother joins the fray.

Erick Rowan
Three.

Bray Wyatt
We're here…

**The figure of Bray Wyatt emerges from the shadows as he joins his brothers.**



Bray Wyatt
Adam Cole. My brother is no roadblock, nor are you a speed bump on his way to the top… No… He is the ice on the road and you are the victim, running headfirst into a battle that you cannot win… I am the wind that blows away the fog on that dark slippery road, revealing to you the tree that stands in front of you…



Bray Wyatt
Now had you taken my brother's warnings, had you slowed down on that ice covered road you would have been able to avoid the tree before it was too late.. But you didn't listen. YOU NEVER LISTEN!!! It is neither the wind nor the ice that you should be shaking your fist at but rather your own ignorance, for you are too blind to realize that we're really here to save you..

Erick Rowan
Run.



Bray Wyatt
Save you from those who you call your allies. Those who would watch you burn for their own entertainment.. We are not the enemy Adam Cole, we are here to give sight to the blind and hearing to those who cannot hear. We are here to free the sheep of their oppressors and in turn free you of yours.



Bray Wyatt
There are those who are afraid of the dark…

Erick Rowan
Are you afraid of the dark Adam?

Bray Wyatt
Yet they refuse to open their eyes…

Erick Rowan
Open your eyes and see.

Bray Wyatt
Look around you…

Erick Rowan
Walk upright.

Bray Wyatt
Take off your blinders and see the world for what it truly is..

Erick Rowan
With no shadows to hide in…

Bray Wyatt
The darkness isn't what you should fear..

Erick Rowan
It's what hides behind it..

Bray Wyatt
This world….is what's really scary…



Luke Harper
This world… is ours for the taking.

**Wyatt holds up a lantern to his face, watches as the flame dances in its container for a few moments, then blows it out after taking a deep breath. The lights cut back on inside the arena to reveal Harper and Rowan on the apron while Wyatt rocks back and forth in the chair that has become synonymous with him. The crowd begins buzzing as their fear for the safety of Cole takes hold of them. Cole stares ahead of him at Wyatt who continues rocking while muttering inaudible sentences under his breath. Cole slowly turns his head to his left and looks into the emotionless eyes of Harper, the man who is slowly becoming his worst nightmare. Cole manages to break eye contact with his tormentor to shift his attention to his right where Rowan stands on the apron, the infamous mask leaving his emotional state up to the imagination of the beholder.

The people do the only thing they can do in this situation and that’s chant Adam Cole’s name as they’re currently helpless to anything else short of storming the ringside area to lend physical support. The best they can do is hope that the collective support of the thousands of people in attendance will be enough to distract or disturb The Wyatt Family enough for Cole to get the quick escape with the side of the ring nearest to the announce table being the only feasible route.

However, Cole doesn’t appear to be looking for a way out of this potentially deadly situation. No, at least for now he’s standing his ground, a move both brave and his foolish as it may be the last thing he ever does. Again, Cole looks around at the three imposing figures, puts on his most convincing straight face to drive home the point that he’s will not allow himself to be intimidated as effectively as possible. Cole raises the microphone up to his mouth and begins to speak over the raucous crowd.**

Adam Cole
Look, I don't get what the hell you are talking about. You might have a hidden meaning in all that but I know your motive. I know that what your trying to do is to intimidate and scare me into what? running and hiding? Stepping my foot off the ladder and running away. Well I will be truthful with you right now I am intimidated right now but I am not running, I will go have to go down with a fight....

**Without warning Cole lunges at Rowan, striking him in the head with the microphone sending the big man tumbling off the apron. The crowd explodes with cheers as Cole takes the initiative to remain on the offensive, but he’s not completely out of the woods yet as Harper begins entering the ring. However, he only manages to get one foot through the ropes before Cole charges with a front dropkick that knocks him out of the ring but by the time he stands up Rowan slides into the ring. Cole greets the lumbering giant with a vicious superkick that connects with such force that the sheep mask goes flying off Rowan’s face before he drops to the ground in a heap.

Now it’s Harper who gets into the ring and tackles Cole to the ground. The unsettling big  man unleashes a flurry of punches on his foe who’s doing his best to cover up. Cole is finally able to kick Harper off him and when he sees Rowan already coming back to his senses, Cole chooses to live to fight another day by quickly rolling out under the bottom rope before he’s overwhelmed by the numbers.

Inside the ring, Rowan stands as still as a statue while his partner in crime in Harper paces back and forth in the ring, his eyes open wide with that piercing stare locked on Cole, a man who completely has the support of the crowd as they once again break out into a chant of his name. For a brief moment, Cole had the Wyatts right where he wanted them, he was in control, he was the one making a statement until that statement was interrupted by the demented message of the Wyatts.

A message that made it care that once they have a target in their sights, they are relentless, unforgiving and mercy is not in their vocabulary. Yet despite the immeasurable odds continuously being stacked against him, Cole hasn’t backed down and he hasn’t blindly rushed off to the certain death with dreams of glory and valor influencing his actions. If nothing else, tonight proved that he won’t be easy prey; if he’s going down he’ll do so scratching and clawing until that bitter end.

And for all their talk of being monsters, for all the hype behind them about how vicious they apparently are, The Wyatts are once again just letting Cole walk away with just a scratch here and there like a speeding driver getting off with a verbal warning and no ticket. Cole slowly backs up until he bumps into the legs of Bray Wyatt who is still rocking back and forth in his chair at the foot of the ramp.

Bray barks out “boo!” then chuckles maniacally as  Cole nearly jumps out of his boots from the fright, before walking around the twisted leader of this cult-like faction and backing up the ramp. The Wyatts have laid out the challenge and in all likelihood they want Cole to be alive, or at least somewhat conscious for his day of reckoning, or maybe they’re just having too much fun toying with their prey. At Digital Decision, Adam Cole’s fate is in the hands of the people who claim to be his fans, and we will see if Cole’s safety takes priority for them.**

Oh, come on! This guy showed up in cheesy sunglasses and brought up one of the worst "rivalries", and I do use that term lightly, in the history of this company, wasn't that enough?

Oh, come on Cole. We can never get enough of this guy, he's hilarious!

Welcome everyone, to episode four of z! True Long Island Story. I am your host, the internet champion, Long Island Iced Z, Zack Ryder. That's right, it's happening. Or, it might happen.Whatever. Zack Ryder and Eric Young could possibly get their first actual match.

For those of you that remember, one year ago, me and Eric Young engaged in an epic rivalry, which culminated in an X-treme Karaoke challenge. I then challenged Eric to a match, but he spent weeks away from XWL and when he came back he didn't want anything to do with me. I mean, are you serious bro? The match would've great! But, I'm not exactly bitter, no, that wouldn't be cool at all broski. I'm just excited for the opportunity to have a SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET match at Digital Decision. So, XWL Universe, I beg you, give me a chance at Digital Decision. Cause I'm sure people are wondering, can I beat Eric Young? Woo woo woo, you know it.

You're listening to AreyouSeriusBroSateliteRadio! This week's hit, "Love I'm in LI" by Zack Ryder!

Just gonna tan here and get sunburned, that;s alright because I like the way it hurts. Just gonna stand here and take shots all nights, and it's all because I love the LI, I love the LI.

Ladies and gentlemen, that's all we have for this week, join us next week for even more hits from the LI!

Well broskis, that's all the time we have for tonight, so congratulations to the Luke and Duane Show on being the fourth broskis of the week. Until next time, like me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, subscribe to me on Youtube, buy all the official Zack Ryder merchandise on XWLShop.com, get #RyderRevolution trending on Twitter, take care and spike your hair, and broskis, I'm beggin ya, vote me to face Eric Young at Digital Decision.

Breakdown returns from a commercial break and we immediately head backstage where Josh Matthews is standing by for an interview.

(Josh Matthews)
Ladies and gentleman, please welcome my guest at this time, XWL's "X-Treme Diva", Lita!

Lita makes her way onto the interview set much to the fans delight as a set of cheers can be heard throughout the arena. Lita walks up to Josh and looks into the camera with a smile on her face. Lita is still dressed in her ring gear from her "match" that took place earlier in the evening.

(Josh Matthews)
First of all Lita, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to participate in this interview.

(Lita)
No problem Josh, always a pleasure.

(Josh Matthews)
I've got a few questions for you Lita so if you don't mind I'd like to dive into as many of these questions as I can.

(Lita)
Sure Josh, always happy to answer some questions for the fans.

(Josh Matthews)
First off, how did it feel to go out there last week and pick up a win over one of XWL's more established divas in Madison Rayne?

(Lita)
It felt great Josh. Losing to Paige two weeks ago really made me question whether I should be in this company or not. I mean this company is full of talented female wrestlers and I've had my fifteen seconds of fame throughout my career, but I've NEVER been a champion in this company. Now I'm not gonna stand here and lie to you Josh, I'm not gonna stand here and lie to the world. I have something to prove and I've definitely got a chip on my shoulder, which means every single diva in this company should be on alert. I'm not afraid to go beyond my limits and take it the extreme. I've MADE MY CAREER OFF OF PUTTING MY BODY AND MY LIFE ON THE LINE 300+ DAYS A YEAR DOING THINGS FEMALE WRESTLERS ARE DOWN RIGHT SCARED TO EVEN ATTEMPT! I can dig deep and go to places no other DIVA in this company can go. I can, and I will take it the EXTREME if need be, So yes Josh It felt great to go out there and do exactly what I said I would do. I said Madison would get a Twist Of Fate and that's exactly what she got, and it just so happened to put her down for the three count.

(Josh Matthews)
Let's fast forward to tonight Lita, you were set to go one on one with Candice Lerae. Instead you got a count out victory after Candice decided to no show the match and literally torture Madison Rayne in a boiler room, your thoughts?

(Lita)
A win is a win Josh. Would I have preferred to have beaten Candice Lerae like I know I would have clean in the middle of that ring? Absolutely, sadly it didn't work out that way but sometimes that's just the way the cookie crumbles. As for Candice "torturing" Madison Rayne, that's her gig not mine. I'm not concerned about other divas and there issues, that's Madison's problem. The way Madison conducts herself around this place acting as though she's the "Queen Bee", she kinda asked for it. I'm concerned about Me, Myself, and I.

(Josh Matthews)
Which brings me to my next question Lita, What are your thoughts on the fans being able to vote on who will face Madison Eagles for the Divas Championship at Digital Decision?

(Lita)
I'm excited Josh. I like to think I have a good relationship with the fans, they like me and I like them simple as that. I go to the EXTREME to give them exactly what they wanna see, a hot diva kicking ass in the middle of that ring. I do want to make one thing very clear to everyone, I've still got alot to prove around here but I'm dying for the opportunity to fight the best female competition that XWL has to offer. Madison Eagles is the Divas Champion which means she is the BEST XWL has to offer and I want to go one on one with her at Digital Decision for that Divas Championship. Think about it folks, you can go ahead and vote for another diva to fight Madison Eagles at Digital Decision and watch an extremely boring match where the challenger to Madison's title WILL come up SHORT and FAIL. Or, you can put your trust in me and I will go out there and give these fans the most exciting divas match they have ever seen and at the end of the night I will walk out of Digital Decision your NEW XWL DIVAS CHAMPION!!! THAT IS A PROMISE!!!

Lita is clubbed with a huge elbow to the back of the head from none other than...



...Summer Rae!



Summer begins to speak to the woman she just attacked, Lita.



[Summer Rae]
"If you think that you're going to be winning that Diva's Championship, then you've got another thing coming. Like I said earlier tonight, no one deserves to be Diva's Champion more than me."



[Summer Rae]
"After all... I'm a star. What are you Lita? Seeing that you aren't in any shape to answer that, I'll answer it for you. Lita, you are trash. From the way you speak, to the way you act, and even the way you dress... Trash. See you around."

Using her hand, Summer flips her hair and walks off the interview set. The audience can be heard booing Summer from a distance. We see Lita on the ground, clutching the back of her head.


We then transition into the next segment of the evening.

Breakdown cuts backstage to see Krystal standing by with the World Heavyweight Champion...The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.



[Krystal]
Shawn, earlier tonight we not only saw you save John Cena from an attack by the Wyatt Family. Was it to re-pay the favour for last week?




[Shawn Michaels]
Well, It's pretty simple really.. Last week John Cena saved me from an attack at the hands of The Whole Shebang, So tonight...I returned that favour. It's no secret then Me and John have history between us, We've had many battles and many wars...But I respect John Cena and last week when he helped me...He showed just why I have that respect for him and later tonight me and John  can use that mutual respect to defeat Ted DiBiase and Johnny Gargano. But no matter what respect we have for each other, it doesn't change the fact that in just a few weeks time, He will challenge me for my World Heavyweight Championship. The moment that bell rings at Digital Decision that respect means nothing.



[Shawn Michaels]
Winning this World Championship is something every superstar in this company dreams of. John is no different to that and I know at Digital Decision It will take everything I have to defeat John Cena. No matter the stipulation voted by the fans, It will take all the fight I have in me to retain this Championship. It took me 8 long months, fighting and battling to get a chance at this championship, and I'm not going to give it up without a fight.


[Krystal]
Also earlier tonight, You also delivered a Sweet Chin Music to Dean Ambrose after his match against Daniel Bryan...What is the reason for that?





[Shawn Michaels]

Well..Dean Ambrose wants to make promises to take me out, he wants to make promises that he will take back this World Championship. So I was making it clear to Dean that he knows exactly where to find me. After Digital Decision, If I'm still standing here with this World Championship...I hope Stephanie gives Dean his rematch, because I'd like nothing more than to once again defeat Dean Ambrose and shut him up..once and for all.

HBK lets off a smile as he adjusts his World Title on his shoulder, before walking off the scene

Breakdown returns from a commercial break and we immediately head backstage where Jeremy Borash is standing outside of AJ Styles locker room, possibly attempting to get an interview. Let's find out.

(Jeremy Borash)
Ladies and gentleman welcome back to Breakdown. I am standing outside of AJ Styles locker room and I am about to attempt to get his thoughts on his victory over Chris Jericho earlier tonight.

As JB is about to knock on the door he hears a phone ringing inside of the locker room. He notices that the locker room door is slightly open and decides to slowly nudge the door open to see what is going on inside of AJ's locker room. He sees AJ Styles sitting on a chair in the middle of the locker room still wearing his black and red ring gear from earlier tonight. It also appears as though AJ has just answered his phone and is about to speak to someone on it.

(AJ Styles)
Hello, we'll I certainly didn't expect to hear from you of all people, what's up?

JB motions for the camera crew to move in closer to get a better camera angle on the phone call.

(AJ Styles)
Look man everyone knows you got a raw deal a few weeks ago, everyone knows you were screwed, but no one cares. Hell I don't really care to be honest with you but I know what it feels like to be stabbed in the back so I can relate to you on that one... He'll get what's coming to him, he chose himself over friendship, he shoved it all aside for his own personal gain, those kinda people get what's coming to em and hell it's already begun... So what's going on man, I mean as much as we both enjoy the small talk there's obviously a reason you called me... A proposition?

Just as AJ mentions something of a proposition he looks up and notices JB and the camera crew spying on him.

(AJ Styles)
HEY!!!

AJ jumps up to his feet and walks over to the door to slam it shut.

(Jeremy Borash)
Well uhhhmmm interesting to say the least, hopefully AJ isn't to upset with us.

JB and the camera crew waste no time exiting the area and heading off for other important business as the show cuts to another commercial break.

Divas Match

The theme of the Anti-Diva begins to play throughout the arena, cheers raining down into the ring as Paige's arm is raised into the air. Before she could even celebrate her win, two women side into the ring, one blonde and the other brunette, and send Paige tumbling down onto the canvas. It's quickly revealed to be none other that the self proclaimed, “Beautiful Fierce Females,” clearly taking exception to her words earlier in the evening.

Stomps, kicks, and hair pulling is happening in the ring as the crowd boos loudly, showing their displeasure in the attack, causing the recipient of this assault, Paige, to attempt to cover up. Then without warning, the live audience in attendance quickly ends up on the opposite end of the spectrum, erupting into cheers. The BFFs believe the cheering is for them and take a bow but out of the corner of her eye, Sasha spots Bayley making a beeline towards the ring and alerts Charlotte, causing both of them to exit the ring, wanting nothing to do with Bayley on this night.

Bayley helps Paige up to her feet and .....





Before Paige could even think to do anything, she wraps her arms around her, delivering one of her signature hugs despite being the one to do the saving. After she releases her surprisingly strong grip and takes a step back, Bayley can be seen motioning to Paige, telling her that the headband she gave Paige helped her win the match. Paige simply shakes her head as Bayley's theme begins to play in the background before Breakdown heads into a commercial break.

Normal Match


Austin is in the ring and is awaiting Kevin Steen but no entrance music is being played. Austin looks like he is asking the ref what the hell is going on but suddenly Kevin Steen appears from out the crowd but he is not in a rush and Austin spots him around ringside. Was Steen going to try a sneak attack on Austin? Well if he was it hasn't worked. Steen climbs the ropes and enters the ring. Austin starts talking trash to Steen who just stares back then breaks a smile when Austin flips him the bird. Steen then turns away and the ref rings the bell. Steen stands there staring at Austin who removes his leather vest. Before Austin can even try an attack, Steen walks up to the referee and slaps him across the face. The slap was that hard it sent the referee down to the canvas. The referee holds his pain with confusion and agony. The referee rings the bell for the DQ as Steen rolls out the ring and storms off through the crowd. Austin looks just as confused but snaps out of it for a few minutes when his music hits and calls for a few cans of Steveweiser as we fade to a commercial not knowing what the hell happened.

The World Heavyweight Champion's theme sounds and the crowd erupts with glee as The Whole Shebang have fallen to The King of The Ring and the man that he will challenge in The Main-Event of Digital Decision. The crowd is still up in arms over the unbelievable finish to this tag-team match, and Ted is still out like a light as Johnny tends to his fallen partner.


[JR]
Bah gawd what a match, and what an ending! Shawn Michaels proves just how dangerous he is when you LEAST expect it.


[King]
No kidding, JR! John Cena's got an up close look at what awaits him in two weeks, and if you ask me...he's going to be have to be on his A game at Digital Decision.

[Michael Cole]
Am I the only one that saw that Ted's arm was just a little too close to the ropes?


[JR]
Oh don't start that crap, Cole. Shawn Michaels picked up a huge win tonight, and in turn also sent a message to John Cena. He can strike with that kick at any moment, and that's something John is going to have to be prepared for when the time arrives.


[King]
They may be celebrating together tonight, but when that title is on the line, only one of them will have their hand raised.


[JR]
I can't begin to predict how that match is going to go, but I'm damn sure excited for it. Have a good night folks, we'll see you next week!
