The camera appears at the announce table where Jerry Lawler, and Michael Cole are sitting.
--Cole-- Hello there ladies and gentlemen, my name is Michael Cole and here is my partner Jerry Lawler and you guys are in for a treat here tonight.
--Lawler-- Your right Cole because starting us of here tonight is Daniel Bryan`s return here in XWL, how exciting. He`s set to face of against Dean Ambrose 1/3 of the newly rejoined SHIELD! Im getting goose bumps just thinking about it.
--Cole-- Try to calm yourself down King, here he comes now!
Daniel Bryan music hits and the fans begin to yell, scream, some even crying, holding up posters reading YES YES YES, some reading the opposite.
Daniel Bryan grabs a mic and paces around the ring soaking in all the love the fans are giving him chanting YES YES YES YES! The arena starts to calm down and Daniel begins to talk.
--Bryan-- Wow! That never gets old. I cant imagine why on earth would I leave you great people when all you have done was support me none stop since I stepped foot in this business. I never really got the opportunity to tell yo guys how much I appreciate you guys and I apologize for that.
--Bryan-- With that being said for now on I will show you how much I appreciate you guys by my performance in ring. Because I really do it all for your entertainment, so you could have something to enjoy. I do it all for you guys and I promise you I wont stop until you people have had enough of me.
--Bryan-- As you may know I am set to face of against Dean Ambrose tonight here for my return and what better way to return than to face of against the crazed one Dean Ambrose. Now I cant guarantee victory with his thugs along ring side, but I can guarantee that I will give this match my all like it was my last.
The fans start to chant over and over YES YES YES YES YES YES
--Bryan-- Ahhh thats great I could never get enough of the Yes Movement. Your the reason I am where I am now. I dont know how i could repay you guys.... Well I guess I could work my butt of and someday become your World Heavyweight Champion does that sound good enough?
The fans then begin to chant Yes over and over agreeing with Bryan.
--Bryan-- Well then thats how Im going to become champion then you guys will see how much I appreciate you guys. YES YES YES
The fans chant YES YES YES while Bryan exits the ring and skips up the ramp yelling Yes right along with the fans.
--Lawler-- Well there you have it folks Daniel Bryan has vowed that he will become champion sooner or later.
--Cole-- Does that dork think he can just come in here and demand title shot willie nillie?
--Lawler-- Im sure Bryan is willing to work hard and do what ever it takes to become champion.

Breakdown cuts from in ring actions, to the backstage ar.... Oh no, this again? Breakdown comes to the backstage salon, showing Madison Rayne, sitting in a chair, towel over her front. She smiling widely, the hair dresser, Karen, working on her hair behind her.
{{Madison Rayne}} I so can't wait to tell her the big news!
{{Karen}} What is it anyways?
{{Madison Rayne}} You'll see soon enough Karen.
Karen rolls her eyes as the other stylist, Janet steps up to her chair, clearing it off. Madison's eyes light up, seeing something we don't see.
{{Madison Rayne}} There's my new salon buddy! How are you holding up hun?
Layla enters the view of the camera. One has to think to themselves, and obviously not out loud because they'd never hear the end of it, are we about to get another bitch-fest?
{{Layla}} I don't wanna even talk about it, he's blown up my phone the past twenty four hours, left me texts, voice-mails, it's like...take a hint, you know? I need some time to myself, I'm a wrestler too.
After taking a seat Layla begins to play with her hair, trying to imagine what the finished product will look like before Janet gets to work. After winking at herself in the mirror, Layla sighs turning to Madison and smiling.
{{Layla}} But enough about whatshisname, how are you sweetie? I saw your victory over Alicia Fox last week, you go girl.
{{Madison Rayne}} Thanks! I actually got some news about that whole thing that I've just simply been dying, to tell you. So, you know how Fox is number one conte-
The sound of a phone ringing goes off, causing Layla to sigh and pulls out her phone. She looks at who's calling, her eyes going wide as if to say, "Really?"
{{Layla}} Really??
Want to take a guess on who it is kids?
{{Madison Rayne}} I think you should answer it. Actually, put him on speaker! I'll even talk if you don't want to.
Layla gives her a look as if she's nuts, but Madison smiles that bitchy smile, letting Layla know that she's with her on the whole, who cares about Fandango train.
{{Layla}} Fine, fine...shhhh
Bringing her finger up to her lips, motioning for Madison to keep quiet, she uses her other hand to swipe it across the screen of her phone and answer the call. That is gonna be good...
{{Layla}} Hello?
Thanks to the magic that is speakerphone, we can completely hear every bit of Fandango's creepy and just plain unnecessary deep breathing into the phone.
{{Fandango}} Baby, you picked up, hi...
{{Layla}} Hey, um...babe.
{{Fandango}} Are you at the arena yet? I wanted to talk, face to face...chest....to chest....if you know what Faaaaan...Daaaaan...goooo...is sayiing?
So he even does that whole shtick over the phone, that's not alarming in the slightest...Madison laughs at his exaggerated way of saying his own name, while Layla just rolls her eyes.
{{Layla}} Yeah, about that...see, I think we...should take some time apart.
{{Fandango}} I think that's...a greaaat idea baby....so I'll, see you in an hour then?
Whoosh, that went right over his head, didn't it?
{{Layla}} Not exactly...
Madison swoops in, taking the phone out of Layla's hand. Layla, too late to stop this from happening, watches as Madison does as she wishes.
{{Madison Rayne}} Fandango, hey, yeah, what she's saying is that she's done talking to you. M'kay? Byeee!
How can you say such a sweet "bye" after being so rude? The guy just wants to make things right, right? Madison clicks the phone, ending the call as Layla has no say so in stopping her. She turns back to Layla, smiling.
{{Madison Rayne}} Look girl, you need to just fully drop him already. I mean, I never have to deal with that weird breathing stuff when I talk to Josh.
{{Karen}} I thought you weren't with Josh.
{{Madison Rayne}} Can it Karen. You can do better Layla, you just have to look for someone who isn't.... Weird.
{{Layla}} It's just, it's complicated...one minute I'm mad at him, and the next...I don't know. I'm just stupid, aren't I? Ugh, why didn't I just turn him down to begin with...He's grown on me, he was a little...weird...at first, but...now...now he's...I can't even explain it, Madison.
Janet shakes her head, no doubt thinking oh woe is Layla, right? Serves you right you little bitch...or maybe she's not thinking that, but it's fun to imagine all these things she could be saying in her head but be too afraid to actually say, right?
{{Layla}} That's why I'm so glad to be facing AJ tonight, I can put all of this behind me and focus on doing what I do best, beating her for the umpteenth time!
Laughing like a true bitch, like...a true bitch, cackle and all. Madison joins in adding her own chuckle to the bitchy aura that is secreting through the air right now.
{{Madison Rayne}} How much better can tonight get? You get an easy win and I get announced as number one contender.
Whoa, wait, what? Layla snaps out of her cackle as Madison continues laughing, once Madison notices, she stops too.
{{Madison Rayne}} What? I didn't tell you? Oh yeah! Fandango called. What I was saying was, I went and talked to Stephanie and since I beat the number one contender, I also get into the title match at International Incident. Eagles has to be livid! A triple threat match for her title which she's wasting anyways. Hah! Aren't you happy for me?
Madison turns to her new found bestie, who isn't laughing with her. Obviously she'd prefer to have the title shot instead...I mean, she is the most decorated diva to ever step foot in the division, duh...but after a few noticeable seconds of indifference to Madison's glee...Layla puts on a smile and begins to squeal.
{{Layla}} Oh, my god...that's great! You totally deserve it, like...I can't think of a more deserving person. You know what would really be cool? Actually, this is totally going to happen...okay, you with me here? After I beat AJ, I bet Stephanie's going to call me into her office and beg me to be in the title match too. I mean, Madison hasn't really had a huge test as champion yet... and really, while a triple threat is A-Mazing...a Fatal Four Way is just so much more, titi-LAY...ting.
Isn't she such a supportive and good friend? She learns of someone's good fortune and immediately starts pitching her name to be included too, oh Layla...what would someone do without a friend like you?
{{Madison Rayne}} See, about that hun... If she was looking for much older candidate that took a crack at dancing career, she would of called Stacy Keibler.
Oh shit.... It just got real.
{{Madison Rayne}} Well, hate to run but you know, got a title match to go and prep for. Too-da-loo love.
Madison winks at Layla, who is taken back by the insult thrown her way just moments ago. Rayne takes her leave, as Karen stays, cleaning up her area and Layla stays, in a state of disbelief.
{{Janet}} Ouch, what a bitch...
Snapping out of it immediately, Layla turns to Janet disgusted by what she said..
{{Layla}} Excuse me? That's my friend you're talking about, now get back to work or you'll see what a "bitch" can really be.
No need Layla, she's got you in her chair, and you're the bitchiest of them all. Janet sighs, longing for the night she had the sweet and kind Athena in her chair, instead of the prissy twit currently residing in it right now. But it's her job to make everyone look good, so she let's Layla's snootiness pass and continues working her beautician magic as we fade away to a commercial break.
hey i need to know when the first match happens because i cant get on tomorow
also if my second match happens before tuesday i cant do it
i have unexpected family matters from saturday morning to tuesday afternoon
They happen whenever, it's up to you and your opponent to see through getting those done. You contact them, you see when each other are available. It needs to be done between now and next Friday.
thanks for letting me know that and sorry for the absence it was very unexpected

Since Lordfreeman was highly considerate enough to tell us he's left XWL via us having to read his mind...Callihan will now be facing Bram who is Pats. And AJ Styles is now facing Brock Lesnar because everything works out in the end.

-The camera pans to the back as we hear a somewhat, worried and or, concerned Byron Saxton approach Ryback.-
Byron: Ryback! Ryback, can I get a word from you sir?
-Ryback turns around modestly and rather calm, regardless he is approached seemingly by an uppity interviewer-
Ryback:...Yeah. Sure. I'm free. What do ya want?
Byron: Well last week you were scheduled to compete one on one against CM Punk, and the match fell through. Rumors have indeed been speculating about such. I would like to get the first hand scoop on your half of the story.
Ryback: My half of the story? Look, there is no story. Last week, I was booked to go one on one with CM Punk. Someone I consider to be one of my favorite opponents if i'm gonna be honest.
Ryback: But, the guy never showed. He must see what I know. He see's the change, and the fire burning inside of me. He knows that if you stand to close to fire, you're going to get burned. He also knows what happens when you pour gasoline to an open, burning fire. Regardless, I am a little disappointed I didn't get my match with him last week. I know we would have tore the the house down. But, I get it. If I wasn't me, i'd be afraid of me as well.
Byron Saxton: Well, I am very sorry to hear about that sir. I had no idea you were that passionate about your opponent.
Ryback: Passionate? I breath, eat, and sleep Passion! This, this is my life. Whether I go out there and win, or someone gets a victory over me, this...I live for this. My drive is what keeps me going night in, and night out. Though the thick and the thin. The past year or so has been real rough for me in and out of the ring. But I know, that only I have the power to change that.
Byron Saxton: Strong words Ryback. Enough about last week though, this week you're scheduled to go one on one against Rob Van Dam, care to give us your thoughts going int that match and your opinion on your opponent?
Ryback: Rob Van Dam. Mr. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...everyday according to him. Now, I have all the respect in the world for Rob Van Dam. Very athletic, and agile guy. Not many can hang with him inside the squared circle. But you see, I aint like many men. I am more than human. Some may say, i'm superhuman. But superheroes, are nothing but fiction. I aint no hero, and I sure as hell aint fiction. I am as real as they get. This is a dog eat dog world. Rob, you're a Jack Russel, and i'm the hungriest lone wolf in this big forest.
Ryback: When we go out there tonight my friend. All things are ff limits. You may be one to fly around and use your acrobat antics to win your matches. But that only makes me hungrier. Hungrier for victory, and hungrier for competition. Feed...Me..More!
-He says as he walks away from Byron Saxton-
Byron: Very passionate, and strong words from Ryback. I'm Byron Saxton here reporting. Back to ringside.
You're supposed to make sure your opponent doesn't have a promo to go up before you post match results. I also recorded the match and had it uploading.

Jerry Lawler Angle! Angle is coming to the ring only a week after that brutal assault we witnessed from Brock Lesnar last week.
Jim Ross Well, King, Angle is a fighter and if we expected anything else, well, then, we'd of been a fool because Kurt Angle is bound to show up each and every week here.
An Olympic-Style theme song rings out and immediately popcorn buckets are dumped on the ground as fans desperately seek to applaud their hero as well as make any additional noises they can possibly think up. Just last week Kurt Angle had a run-in with Brock Lesnar where he, to put it blatantly, was utterly dominated when Lesnar finally chose to use his full force. However, Angle wouldn't be where he is today if he was a man who was thrown off course by one bad outing so here he is, tonight, looking to redeem himself in the eyes of the fans.
Kurt's tron is looking especially spiffy here tonight as it appears in front of the audience in a very visually-appetizing fashion. Your American Hero comes out from the back with a grin noticeably stretched between his chin and his nose because, perhaps, Angle has something up his sleeve for tonight. He might have let Brock get to him last week, but Angle has certainly set his sights on the future rather than the past and it's quite possible he's got something great in store for Brock.
Jerry Lawler Not even that assault could shake his confidence.
Michael Cole Yes, his confidence is certainly unwavering, but we have to wonder if he'll be as lucky to be back only a week later the next time Lesnar gets his hands on him.
Angle sends off his pyro as some fans nearby jump a little at the small catastrophe going off in their ears. Kurt walks down the ramp as the fans continue buzzing all around and Angle slaps a couple of high-fives that brighten the day of some youngsters. Angle certainly oozes confidence in the ring and on the mic, but he has a way of giving back to the community as well.
Jerry Lawler Those fans just had their days made.
Michael Cole I would go as far as to say their lives have just been made.
Jim Ross Well, it isn't every day you get to high-five one of your favorite XWL stars!
He even high-fives a group of men which sends their small section into a bit of a frenzy before Kurt Angle shifts gears and slides into the ring where he does his vintage spin around the ring while balancing on one foot. Kurt Angle, your hero, calls for a microphone and, rightfully so, it's delivered to him quickly. The crowd shushes with relative ease as they prepare to hear this wrestler speak.
Kurt Angle Let me make one thing clear quickly. I came to this ring in a good mood, but right now I'm all business because last week Brock Lesnar made me look like a damn fool. Brock, I don't know who you think you are because you've just messed with an Olympic Gold Medalist and now you're going to pay. Oh, it's true. When we first bumped into each other at Digital Decision I thought it was all for fun. We had a good time! We had a friendly chat, then we looked to replace your wife with a fine fox... it didn't go well, of course, but then I even shared my milk with you! And that wasn't enough for you, oh no, you wanted more Brock and when Brock Lesnar thinks he wants more than Brock Lesnar tries to take more, but you didn't realize who you were standing across from. You socked me in the jaw when you realized you could never drink more milk than I could, and, hell, I don't even blame you for it. However, Brock, that was one thing. That was one thing, Brock.
Kurt Angle That was one thing because you'd one-upped me and you know when you try to one-up a Gold Medalist you're going to have to face the consequences. I fooled you into a push-up contest because, let's face it, you're a pretty easy person to trick. I got even with you and I thought everything was behind us. Clearly, you didn't realize that when I got you once and you got me once that we were on a clean slate with each other. That's why I thought it would be fine if I came out after your match and had some fun with you. You know, throw some verbal shots at you, tease you, the type of thing that good friends do all the time! Instead of having a good time with Brock Lesnar, I was attacked, chased, and beaten.
Kurt Angle You made the biggest mistake of your life. You didn't injure me, you didn't take me out of action, in fact, I'm not even hurt this week! Sure, I've got a couple of scrapes here and there, a couple of bruises, but it's nothing compared to what I'll do to you. You see, all that you did last week was piss me off and you never want to do that. So, Lesnar, you testosterone-loaded freak, I want your ass to come to this ring right now because we both damn well know that you're listening backstage right now and you're itching to come to the ring right now. I didn't want a war. All that I ever wanted were some good memories and fun times, but you've taken it too far. You've crossed the line, Brock, and now all that I want is you in the ring with meright now!
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Jerry Lawler Lesnar is here! Lesnar is set to come out!
Michael Cole Kurt Angle called out The Beast and now The Beast is here!
Jim Ross Let's just hope for Angle that he doesn't regret this.
Lesnar's theme song, of course, hits the stage. Did anyone really think Brock Lesnar would shy away from a fight? Please! Brock Lesnar was obviously coming out here, and, if anything, it was a matter of when rather than if. The Beast that is Brock steps out onto the stage to thunderous boos for various reasons: his apparent, "haters," his assault on Kurt Angle the week prior, and, most importantly, the casual fans who are told to boo bad guys and cheer good guys. Anyways, Brock Lesnar stares intensely down the ramp as if he's also had enough of the fun and games. Brock looks like an animal on the prowl as he walks down to the ring almost as if he's stalking his prey.
Jerry Lawler Brock looks vicious tonight!
Michael Cole The fans are letting him have it. Not one of them appreciates the number he did on Kurt Angle last week and you can tell.
Brock jostles in place on the outside of the ring now as Kurt Angle can't do anything except offer back the same cold stare he's being given at this moment. Then, Brock Lesnar hops up to the apron as pyro shoots off which stuns even Angle very briefly. Only briefly, though, because he's a man locked onto his target at the moment.
Boos only multiply with a showy display such as this, but Lesnar pays no mind. He simply seizes the microphone out of Kurt Angle's hand before raising it to his lips and beginning to speak. Angle is extremely attentive throughout, but Brock definitely has a lot less to prove than Kurt at the moment because it's he who's gotten the better of Angle thus far.
Brock Lesnar You see, Kurt, I was just like you. I thought we were friends at Digital Decision. I also thought we were friends last week when we had the push up contest and, hell, I wasn't even mad about you getting me back. I was mad when you stole my spotlight after I defeated The Rock. Did anyone care about that match? Why don't you ask the fans, Kurt? Did they care when I manhandled The Rock? They sure cared after I beat your ass!
Kurt Angle Look, Brock, quite frankly I just don't care what you have to say anymore. I used to have a shred... just a small shred of respect for you, but now all that I have left for you is hatred. You've given me your bullshit time and time again, but Brock, I'm fed up with everything you're telling me. I don't care about your match with The Rock, I don't care about your spotlight, hell, I REALLY don't care about your empty threats because we both know that last week was the last time you'll be hitting an F5 on Kurt Angle. So, you know what? I want to get right to the point. We're having a match at International Incident. That's not me asking. That's me telling you that we're going one on one at International Incident.
Angle seemed particularly intense with that bit as he's clearly had enough of Brock Lesnar's ways for awhile, but he's in too deep now. There's no getting away from Lesnar because now he's too involved. He's going to have to end things with a match at the PPV and, as he announces just that, the fans pop loudly.
Brock Lesnar Alright, that's fine by me, Kurt. Just understand that I'm going to hurt you, we've had battles in the past, but they were just battles. This started out as fun and games, but now it's evolved into a war. Just do one thing for me at International Incident and don't cry like a bitch when I end your career.
Kurt Angle You're going to end my career? See, Brock, this is why no one takes you seriously. You can stand across from me huffing and puffing, you can dish out your intimidating words, but I'd love to see you end my career. I'd love to see you bring the pain, Brock, but we both know that you can't. We both know you won't. Come on, Brock, nobody here is fooled by anything you say.
Brock Lesnar I can't end your career? Please, Kurt. That F5 last week was just a preview. And yeah, I say some pretty dumb stuff sometimes, but at least I'll still be able to walk and talk after I'm done with you because once I'm finished with you you'll wish you never said anything to me last month.
Kurt Angle If that F5 last week was a preview, then I can guarantee you that not a single one of the fans here or myself will be buying a ticket to the premier because that was a pretty terrible showing. You didn't even keep me out for a whole week, Brock. Now, if I did the same to you, it would be a good question if we would ever see Brock Lesnar again.
Brock Lesnar Yeah, well I'm sure a lot of people will buy tickets for your retirement speech once I'm done with you.
That was a pretty good shot taken by Lesnar and the crowd even pops behind his comment.
Kurt Angle Listen, we can sit here going back and forth like we always do... but I'm really sick of this. We do this every time and we both know there's only one way we can both solve this until next week... with a challenge.
Having enjoyed watching the spectacle that is the 'Lesnar & Angle Games' as of late, the crowd pops loudly seeing as they'll see their own live addition to the newest hit segments here in XWL.
Brock Lesnar Alright, I have no problem beating you again, Kurt. What is it?
Kurt Angle Before I tell you, you need to agree to something. Whoever loses is going to have to hold up the hand of the victor in front of the world!
Oh boy! The crowd buzzes for that announcement because, no matter the competition or result, one man will practically be forced to admit that the other man is better than him in something which is something neither man has yet to do. Lesnar makes an intrigued face before he accepts Angle's challenge undoubtedly because he feels as if he could top Angle in anything.
Brock Lesnar Alright, I think it's about time you admit who's the Alpha male here.
Kurt Angle We're both going to take turns giving three reasons why we'll win at International Incident with the fans judging who wins. Don't worry, though, I promise they'll be unbiased.
Behind his back Kurt Angle is crossing his fingers, but Lesnar is standing directly in front of him so he'd never know that.
Brock Lesnar Alright, let me go first. Number one, I destroyed you last week. Number two, I beat you at Wrestlemania 19. Last but not least, I'm ten years younger than you are!
Those were three solidly reasonable reasons and the crowd pops accordingly, but there's definitely room to top that. Not bad, though.
Kurt Angle Do youthink that was good? Do you think you're going to win? Do you think you have what it takes to beat an Olympic Gold Medalist?
Brock Lesnar I think I just did.
Lesnar sounds confident as ever and, against most men, he should be. He did get a solid reaction, but he's almost certainly forgetting that this is Kurt Angle and the fans love him so, with the fans on his side, it's going to be an uphill battle for Lesnar to win.
Kurt Angle Is it my turn then?
Brock Lesnar You know, you can forfeit anytime. You and I are friends, Kurt, don't make me hurt you. We can call all of this off if you just admit that I, BROCK LESNAR, THE BEAST, am better than you.
Kurt Angle I'm just waiting for you to tell me it's my turn.
Brock Lesnar Alright. Go, hotshot.
Kurt Angle Intensity, Integrity, AND Intelligence.
In true Angle style Kurt Angle says his signature catchphrase as the fans go off at this sneaky move in the competition! Kurt Angle has said his three reasons, but I think Lesnar had something much different in mind and now it's clear exactly who's won this contest.
Kurt Angle I think you lost, Brock.
Brock Lesnar This was rigged! You just said a stupid catchphrase!
Lesnar is irritated and rightfully so, but he did get just what he signed up for. He couldn't have expected anything different than this and now he's got to go through with his end of the bargain.
Kurt Angle Rigged? My answer was clever and the people loved it! Now, you agreed to do something, Brock...
Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle approach each other and stand closely as Lesnar knows what he's got to do. Kurt Angle reaches near Lesnar's hand, but Lesnar hits it away as he stands resistant. Brock is blatantly breaking their agreement, but he doesn't care whatsoever. However, Kurt Angle makes a classy enough move and he grabs Brock Lesnar's hand on his own.
Jerry Lawler Lesnar is refusing to hold up his hand of the bargain! Come on, Lesnar, don't agree to it if you're not going to uphold it!
Michael Cole What's that Angle is doing, anyways?
Jim Ross It looks like he's going to raise Lesnar's hand instead.
Angle raises Brock's hand up even though Angle won the contest and the hubris-filled Lesnar raises up his other arm as well and begins to gloat! The fans boo Brock's showing here as he doesn't even have the respect to hold up his end of the deal. Then Kurt Angle, unexpectedly, slips behind Brock Lesnar and drops him with an Angle Slam!
Jerry Lawler ANGLE SLAM!
Michael Cole HE HIT IT ON LESNAR!
Jim Ross Brock Lesnar refuses to raise Angle's hand up as he had agreed to do and so Kurt Angle gave him just what he deserved! How perfect!
The mood of the crowd changes drastically as they begin to buzz all around the arena as Angle has managed to get even with Brock Lesnar once again. Lesnar is out on the mat as Angle picks up the mic while standing above Lesnar.
Kurt Angle Brock, if you think we're even again then you're wrong because we'll never be even again... not until International Incident. And at International Incident... I'm going to make you tap because we're having a Submissions Match!
Jerry Lawler They're having a submission match at the PPV! It's official!
Michael Cole Either Brock Lesnar or Kurt Angle will be forced to tap out!
Jim Ross I love it!
The fans once again buzz as it's announced Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle will be competing in a submissions match with one another. By the end of International Incident, one man will finally be forced to admit that the other man is better than him in the ring as he slaps his hand hard onto the mat. The fans are buzzing with all sorts of questions running through their minds and one notably has to be that Kurt Angle's signature move, the Ankle Lock, has to give him at least a small advantage heading into this match. We've seen lots of laughs from the two and we've seen a darker side as well, but most importantly we've seen both men taken out by each other which is exactly what we'll be seeing on PPV and the fans all know it.

As XWL Breakdown carries on we cut backstage to see Dolph Ziggler talking to a backstage worker. As the camera man steps in closer to get audio of the their conversation, AJ Lee steps into frame with her hands behind her back as if she were hiding something and a big smile on her face. The two men immediately hush up. Here I was hoping that we'd hear some gossip, thanks a lot AJ! Dolph sighs at the sight of her presence and shakes his head. The camera gets close enough to pick up sound right as the backstage worker says his farewells in this awkward situation.
Backstage Worker I'm gonna let you two alone. I'll catch you later Dolph!
As the backstage worker walks away, you can see on Ziggler's face that he is fairly upset that his friend has left him alone in this situation as he watches him walk away. AJ then steps into the view of Ziggler so he will focus his attention on her.
AJLee Hiya Dolph! It kinda feels like you've been avoiding me since our talk last week, even though there's some things I need to talk to you about still. That we still need to talk about.
DolphZiggler What else could we possibly have to talk about AJ?
AJLee You know... Us... Here, I got you these to try to help make up for the past.
AJ reveals a bouquet of roses from behind her back and presents them to Dolph with a hopeful smile that this gesture will help make amends for her past actions. Dolph takes them in his hands and sighs once again, thinking for a moment before he speaks.
DolphZiggler AJ.. This is real sweet of you, but there is no us.. Us, is in the past and that's where its going to stay. I know this is going to sound cliche, but we had some fun times together, but we just weren't meant to be. We aren't right for each other AJ.. Get that through your head..
Dolph hands the flowers back to a teary eyed AJ who looks absolutely heart broken from the words of her "one true love." She looks up at him, her lip quivering as she mumbles the words "Okay, I'm sorry." to Dolph. She then turns and runs out of frame, dropping the flowers on the floor, embarrassed, feeling as if she just made a fool of her self. The camera turns to a close up of Dolph's face, where you can see the shame in his eyes as he just made a someone cry.

After Fandango's boo... Well I guess ex boo made her way to the ring, the fans are all beginning to chant for her opponent "AJ". Awaiting for her music the crowd then switches their chant to "Love bites" consoling her on her heart break earlier in the night.
The crowd begins to cheer as AJ Lee's music hits the speakers of the arena and as she walks through the curtain sporting a smile. All though she wasn't fooling anyone with her smile or adorable skip down the ramp, we all knew she was hurting inside.
Jerry Lawler You gotta think that what just transpired between AJ & Dolph will affect AJ during this match.
Jim Ross I'm not sure if it will affect AJ or not, but it sure will provide opportunities for Layla to play mind games with the fragile AJ.
Michael Cole AJ can't let it bother her in the ring. This is why I always say "You can't mix business with pleasure" it will always come back to bite you! Pun intended.
AJ is now in the ring about to square off with Layla, when suddenly Dolph Ziggler's music hits. Dolph comes down to the ring with a look of concern on his face and he comes marching down the ramp to make AJ feel better before her match officially starts so AJ will have a chance against the catty diva Layla. He walks up the steps onto the apron and pulls AJ in and begins to speak. The camera can't pick up on what is said, but it's clear he's trying to make things right, knowing that what he said earlier was too harsh. The two then hug and AJ turns her attention back to Layla. AJ looking worse now than she did before Dolph came out due to the emotions Dolph's words brought up. But never the less, the show must go on and the bell rings.

The referee's hand strikes the mat that final third time, signaling the end of this contest. Much to the dismay of a majority of the audience, Layla's er, Fandango's theme plays letting everyone know who's won this.
Michael Cole What a kick, and that's why Layla is a serious threat in the diva's division.
Jerry Lawler I don't disagree with you there, Layla's very skilled, very devious, but very smart at the same time. She's not only racked up an impressive resume here, she always looks good doing it.
Jim Ross AJ went into this match a little lost, and the veteran Layla did exactly what she claimed she did best earlier tonight, beat AJ.
Layla rises to her feet, stepping onto AJ's body, halfway stepping off to meet the referee. But because Layla's the type of opponent that likes to add insult to injury, she keeps her foot on AJ's stomach while the referee raises her hand.
AJ's been "conquered" once again by Layla, but Layla has also sent the diva's locker room a message tonight. She may have been mixed up with Fandango, and that may be a complicated situation right now...but it hasn't caused her to skip a single beat. She can still get it done, and she still wants to be on top, the question is....will Stephanie take notice and include her in the Divas Championship Match at International Incident, or will she not be joining her partner in crime, Madison Rayne in the title bout?
Jerry Lawler I know Layla was talking about wanting to be included in the triple threat match which will see Alicia Fox and Madison Rayne challenge Madison Eagles for The Divas Championship....but victory or not, do you guys see Stephanie coming around to the idea given what went down at Digital Decision?
Michael Cole What do you mean?
Jim Ross Don't act like you don't remember, Cole. Stephanie had a new addition to the diva's roster, a young woman named Athena, and Layla made it her mission to end her career here before it even officially began...
Michael Cole Stephanie's not petty enough to actually still be mad about that, besides last month she made it clear she wanted divas that knew what they wanted, and took action. She wanted women that embraced being a "bitch" and Layla's always taken pride in that word, and she's stepped up since then.
Jerry Lawler It's more of a, Layla gave Stephanie what she wanted, just not against who she wanted it to be.
Jim Ross Though an interesting point to make regarding the status of Layla's attack on Athena, she's not been punished. In a karmic sense she was because of what's going on between her and Fandango, but Stephanie didn't suspend her, fine her, fire her, anything...which kind of makes you wonder why exactly that is.
Lowering her hand, she shoves past the referee and begins to step out onto the apron. She grabs a hold of both ends of the ropes, dropping down in a showy fashion, then starts to walk away but before she takes even two steps forward, one stray fan nearby begins yelling at her. "BOO! WE WANT ATHENA WE WANT ATHENA!" though it doesn't entirely catch on all that much, they did see her once but one appearance isn't enough to score you world wide recognition or love, despite how that night went. "ATHENA! ATHENA! he shouts, making Layla turn his way, laugh...then get right in his face and address him. "Aw, look guys it's Athena's only fan in the world!" he boos, and the crowd nearby begins to boo along with him. " Well thanks to yours truly, you'll never see her around here ever again!" Confidently smirking, she turns away and starts skipping up the ramp. To mock AJ of course, because you've already beaten her, so why not be a bitch about it, right? She continues skipping her way up the stage as Dolph picks up a still dazed AJ and begins to carry her out of the ring as we head to a commercial break.

Real Interviewer: Lady's and gentleman I am joined by my guest, Rob Van Dam.
(Crowd cheers when RVD steps into the camera)
Concerned Rob Van Dam: Just to make things clear. Are you an actual interviewer, because last time I was interviewed, it was by a fan who dressed as an interviewer.
Confused Real Interviewer: Oh, that is weird. Yes I am real.
Apologetic Rob Van Dam: Sorry, I just had to make sure you were the real dudette.
Confused Real Interviewer: Alright then. So where were we? Oh, ok I remember now.
Real Interviewer: What are your thoughts about tonights match, and do you think you can beat Ryback?
Rob Van Dam: Yes, he may know a thing or two more about arm strength than I do, but why would I think I cannot beat Ryback. You are talking to the Whole F'n Show. I love that I am facing Ryback. He seems like a nice guy. He knows how to wrestle. Even Sonya has a little crush on the Big Guy, but she knows who to put her dank on and that is none other than Mr. Monday Night. (points to himself) One other thing to note about Ryback, is that he did not think of the idea of wearing a spray paint singlet to the ring on his own. He obviously saw me and my style of ring gear and then stole the idea. All credit goes to me.
Real Interviewer: That sounds good. Ok, now Lets talk about Raven. In an interview last week he was saying this and I quote "Putting Rob Van Dam and myself into a match with rules was like placing two starving lions into a cage and not expecting one to maul the other." What is your thoughts on that?
Rob Van Dam: Well, let me explain what he trying to is say. He is saying that we are wrestlers who are known to get nasty in the ring. We like to bring things to the extreme. We like to inflict real pain on each other which involves some rules to be forgotten. That involves some weapons to take things up a notch. I personally think the same thing. I really miss using a chair, a table, or a trash can to bring some extreme violence. That is almost a lost art in today's matches. It would be a great way to bring some nostalgia back to the hardcore wrestling fans. Let them remember what it use to be like.
Real Interviewer: What you are saying is that you would accept his offer to a match at the International Incident pay per view? You are wanting this extreme rules match?
Rob Van Dam: Why would I let the fans down? Dude, why would I not want to beat Raven to a bloody pulp? This is what the Whole F'n Show is all about. Of course I accept.
(The crowd cheers in excitement)
Real Interviewer: Ok, now the fans want to know what had happened to you when you went for a Five Star Frog Splash in last weeks match?
(RVD sighs)
Embarassed Rob Van Dam: Ummmm.....
(RVD is immediately interrupted by laughter from a familiar face)
Annoying Fan: AH HA, HA, Ha! I saw that botch Rob. Not once, but twice. (snort) HA HA. That was so funny. I still love you Rob, I really do. You should have worn the tiger stripe singlet.
(The annoying fan walks away laughing)
Annoyed Rob Van Dam: Who lets that guy backstage?
(Commentary) Jerry Lawler: An Extreme rules match? I hate those.
(Commentary) Jim Ross: Oh come on king, this is going to be good.
(Commentary) Michael Cole: Did we see that person last week too?

Breakdown returns to a very familiar theme which brings the whole crowd to their feet!!!
King No..
Cole It can't be...
King I thought that…
The theme comes to an abrupt halt and the lights suddenly shut off, engulfing the arena in darkness…
The tron lights up, showing The Eater of Worlds pacing back and forth in the shadows. The crowd lets out a mixed reaction, some excited to hear Bray speak, but others still upset that he fooled them with the DX theme.
Bray Wyatt Are you ready?
Bray Wyatt … No. I said…
Bray Wyatt Are…
Bray Wyatt You..
Bray Wyatt Ready??
Bray Wyatt THEY tell you that I am a monster, they say that I wish to watch the world burn.. However it is not their trigger fingers that points to that which is evil when they point their fingers at me, no children, their pinky, ring, and middle fingers are the ones pointing at the real monsters..
Bray Wyatt Open your eyes.. Wake up!! Look around you!! You saw how easy it was for me to convince you that DX was really going to reunite and walk out onto the stage just so that they could throw glow sticks and tell you to suck it.. Imagine how easy it is for the wolves to convince you that I am a monster. Better yet imagine how easy it has been for them to trick you into thinking that you are safe, that there is no reason to fear, no reason to panic, no reason to question….
Bray Wyatt THERE IS A REASON!!! What will it take for me to break you out of the trance that they have put you under? Do you wish to wait until it is too late to allow yourselves to be saved?? This year we have witnessed thirteen of the most unique natural disasters in this history of this world. Thirteen times, the worst type of disaster of it's kind was seen by man this year, the WORST OF IT'S KIND… EVER!!!… There are craters appearing due to the state of this environment yet they tell you not to worry about it and to continue making them money because everything will be okay, AND YOU LISTEN!?!??!! YOU OBEY!!! YOU KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO AFRAID OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU SEE THE TRUTH FOR WHAT IT IS!!??! YOU'RE TOO AFRAID TO ADMIT THAT MY WORDS ARE TRUE!!!!….
Bray Wyatt Those in charge benefit from war. They benefit from disaster. They don't want what's best for you.. They are using you!! YOU ARE SLAVES TO THEIR SYSTEM!!! And the time for their punishment is almost here, brought forth by their own doings!!.. This is not a threat to them, yet a warning to you… Take my hand, let me save you… Or be ready for what is about to come..…
Bray Wyatt I am no monster.. I am not your enemy. I am here to save you. I am here to take you to a better place… Because at this rate, if you are still here when the seas turn to blood.. If you still walk this decaying earth when the fires rise to punish the wolves and destroy all that which is evil… I promise you that you'll think twice about not taking my hand.. For my hand is one that will never let yours go, and my back is something that you will never see…
Bray Wyatt I am here to save you, but first I need to open your eyes to that which you need saving from… They will try to convince you that I am the monster… They are wrong… Remember this… Always…
King Did you see that? Was that Erick Rowan and Luke Harper behind him, I thought that they were..
Cole What are you talking about King? I didn't see anything. You must be seeing anything old man!!!!
Bray Wyatt Be Saved… Or Be Ready.… Follow the Buzzards..

As we return from commercial we see Byron Saxton back stage with Xavier Woods looking to get a word in with the eventual #1 Contender
[Byron Saxton] Welcome back to Breakdown Ladies and Gentlemen Byron Saxton here with Xavier Woods. Now Xavier last week we saw Johnny Gargano go one on one with Kofi Kingston when this went down.
Last Week's Breakdown. wrote:
We return from commercial break to see much to everyone's suprise Kofi Kingston on his feet with Johnny Gargano on his back! Kofi standing strong begins to slap his hands together yelling out 'BOOM!' with each slap. A few boom's later Johnny begins rising to his feet and Kingston grabs Gargano and turns him around. Kofi grabs the waist of Johnny and goes for a S.O.S! Johnny spins out however and locks Kofi quickly into a full nelson. The self proclaimed "Whole Shebang" lifts Kofi Kingston in the air then flips Kingston over midair hitting a picture perfect Hurts Donut. Gargano rolls the lifeless body of Kingston over then makes the pin.
1....
2....
3!
Johnny Gargano has done it! Johnny has somehow gotten the win in which seemed to come out of nowhere. Was that win what The Whole Shebang needed? A win to get them back on track could go far but it seemed like Johnny had much bigger ideas for team building as he calls for Ted and Tomko to come into the ring. The three men now stand tall in the middle of the ring but truly when you are Tyson Tomko do you ever stand short? The three men swarm Kofi Kingston but first Tomko tells the ref to leave the ring and the ref cowards and runs. Tomko then turns around and grabs Kofi and begins to lift him up slowly. Ted and Johnny stare down the seemingly hurting Kofi then Johnny raises his arm up again and delivers a gun shot then the two men charge in and Johnny goes for a superkick while Ted just rams his boot to the other side of Kingston's jaw. Tomko laughs then grabs Kingston by his dreads and lifts the man back up to his feet. Gargano slaps the taste out of Kingston's mouth then Tomko turns Kingston around then wraps his hand around the throat of Kofi. Ted laughs then points up to the sky and Tomko lifts of Kofi Kingston and dangles him in the air and laughs waiting for the command to drop Kofi.
The theme music of Xavier Wood's was not the theme music I think that Tomko was looking for but it did get Tomko to drop the man from his grasp. Xavier Woods comes bolting out of the curtain but he is not alone however! He is bring a steel chair by his side. The site of the chair makes Gargano look at his two friends and maybe it was a sense of "Lets end tonight on a high note" for Johnny but regardless he pats Tomko and Ted on the back then smirks and mumbles "Let's go" before walking backwards and sliding out of the ring. Ted and Tomko follow suit and Woods slides into the ring to help Kofi. The Whole Shebang walks around the ring then starts going up the ramp backwards so they can stare down the hurt Kofi Kingston. Xavier looks at Kofi then grips the chair and swings hitting the mat in rage at what has happened to his friend. He looks back at The Whole Shebang and then he looks at the chair. Woods seems beyond angry that the trio would continue the assault but what can you really expect out of this group? Did The Whole Shebang truly send the message that they mean business now? That answer lies in your hands viewers but one thing that is known throughout the XWL Universe is that this is not over between Wood's and The Whole Shebang.
[Byron Saxton] Now my question to you Xavier is what made you get involved last week and what are your thoughts on the tag match tonight between Kofi and yourself vs The Whole Shebang?
[Xavier Woods] Now Byron it’s simple last week I saw three men try to take advantage of one Kofi Kingston and I couldn’t let that happen. Kofi has worked hard in this company just like I have and we have grown to mutually respect each other. But what you guys don’t know is that Kofi and I have a common ground here. We are both gamers as were are included as characters in the new XWL 2k15 which you can pick up at your local Gamestop on October 23. But we are both also fighters. We don’t take kindly to being taken advantage of and last week I couldn’t just sit back and play tiddlywinks while Kofi gets jumped by the three stooges over there, I had to take action. Now is The Whole Shebang happy with me right now? Eh most likely not but we will cross that bridge when we come to it. All I know is had had Kofis back last week and we’ve got each other this week.
[Byron Saxton] Now speaking about tonight how do you feel h—
[Xavier Woods] Yes speaking of tonight. Tonight my friend is all about respect. To get respect you have to give respect is what we were all taught from a young age but Byron you saw last week where blindly giving out respect can get you. Surrounded by three goons who don’t respect anything or anybody but themselves. Now that’s not how its going to work around here anymore oh no no no. If The Whole Shebang doesn’t want to respect Kofi Kingston and myself well I guess we are going to just have to go out there and prove that we deserve respect. Now we are who you thought we were Johnny but the question is who do you think you are. I’ll tell you who you are, you are nothing but a bunch of bullies. Bullies who complain about not getting their way and try to beat up anybody who you don’t like or just happens to be in the same room as you. But no tonight you won’t get your way. After tonight you will respect Kofi and myself after we pin you in the middle of the ring 1…..2…..3. See I like Kofi Kingston, I respect Kofi Kingston and tonight, I go to war with Kofi Kingston. So Byron, later on when you see Johnny and Ted. Let them know that we are waiting, and we are ready.
Xavier shakes Byron Saxton's hand and thanks him for the interview. Wood's walks out of the sight of the camera to where? Hopefully to get ready for his tag match tonight but who knows he could be going to find his partner and discuss game plan's. After a brutal assault last week on the returning Kofi Kingston one can only think that he want's to get even with the Whole Shebang. The question however is what is going through the mind's of The Whole Shebang after Xavier Wood's interrupted them last week to save his friend Kofi Kingston? For Kofi and Xavier's sake I hope it's not to destroy them. The numbers game always seems to play a favor for The Whole Shebang but with Tomko having such a big championship match coming up will he really be focusing on the Problems of Ted and Johnny? By his moniker of The Problem Solver you would think so but maybe Kingston and Woods are not such a problem or threat to Ted DiBiase and Johnny Gargano. Regardless of that Byron Saxton is still in the shot and he raises the microphone back up to him so he can speak to the people watching XWL Breakdown.
[Byron Saxton] Well ladies and gentlemen that was Xavier Woods and he looks to show up the Shebang here later tonight. Speaking of tonight and showing people up that is exactly what The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels looks to do when he goes one on one with the current World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena. It will be Cena's first title defense of this reign and Shawn looks to stop that reign before it even begins. The bigger question surrounding that match is will the troublesome trio known as the Shield provide interference tonight? Speaking of trios and groups, that seems to be the big thing in XWL right now as you look around you see not just The Wyatt Family, not just The Whole Shebang, not just The Shield, but as of last week you also see Bullet Club and what a debut they had. The returning Prince Dev-- Hey what's going on!
Byron is interrupted by the sound of... Well we don't really know. All we hear is a loud thud followed by several smaller thuds. The interviewer turns to his right and see's nothing but then turns to his left and begins freaking out at what he sees. The camera man now rotates to his right which is Byron's left and we now clearly see what is going on. Down the long hallway it is visible that Xavier Wood's is out lying on his stomach curled out groaning in pain. We see the camera man zoom in to get a clearer shot but right as the camera is focused we see none other than Tyson Tomko walk out from behind a corner that Wood's was about to walk past. The Problem Solver has a steel chair gripped in his hand but not for long as Johnny Gargano and Ted DiBiase come rushing over to where the two men are at. Johnny grabs the chair from Tomko then swings it wildly at Xavier connecting perfectly on the downed man's back. Wood's screams out in pain but then that screaming is silenced as Ted kicks to man in the skull which drives Xavier Wood's head into the concrete floor. Johnny lifts the chair high above his head then comes crashing down with a huge chair shot to the back of Xavier's head. The steel connects with the afro but for once it does not soften the blow as Xavier seems to now be knocked out. Johnny smiles and lifts the chair back up over his head but instead of swinging it down at Xavier again he stops. Johnny smirks and then hands the chair off to Ted DiBiase to which DiBiase smirks and quickly grips the chair and swings it multiple times in a row. With each swing connecting to the back of Wood's head. So many chair shots Xavier has taken and I personally don't think even the likes of Mick Foley would do. The seemingly lifeless body of Xavier just lies there on the floor while the three men stand above him. Johnny smiles and then asks for the chair from Ted which DiBiase has no problems doing. Johnny rolls Xavier Woods over and we now see that he is bleeding from his nose and forehead. The red from the blood begins to get on his white suit which leaves a nasty visual. Johnny could care less though as he opens the chair just a little bit so it has enough space to fit Wood's head into. Gargano get's down on one knee and positions the chair so that Xavier's neck is in serious trouble of being crushed from the steel. It only takes one boot on the chair to crush his throat but Gargano does not stomp the chair. Instead Gargano slaps Tomko and Ted on the chest and points at the chair. Johnny smiles and then puts his hand into a gun and shoot's it off at the chair and at that time all three men jump up into the air. All at once each of there boot's come crashing down onto the chair seemingly crushing the throat of Xavier. Wood's immediately starts coughing and wheezing, he is gasping for air then soon we see him start coughing up blood which can only me internal injury for him. The Whole Shebang smile then walk backward's staring at the downed prey of Xavier who thankfully has gotten out of that chair but he is still hurt and continues gasping for air. The Shebang is now off camera and we soon hear Byron Saxton yelling.
[Byron Saxton] Help! Help! We need some help back here!
Byron yelling for help is the last thing we hear before we fade to commercial break. The question we all have is, why? Why would the Whole Shebang do this when they can do what they just did inside the ring tonight. Why attack a man before your match. Why blatantly try to end a man's career? Speaking of questions, the big question regarding the situation is now this. Will Xavier Wood's be able to compete tonight? Well stay tuned to Breakdown to find that answer later on tonight when The Whole Shebang takes on Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.

Normal Match
(0:00 - Entrances) (2:05 - Match) (16:20 - Post Match)
It was a close match between RVD and Ryback, but Ryback knew how to counter the Five Star Frog Splash, and made a well placed Shell Shock to close the match. After Ryback celebrated his victory, he left the ring to go back to his locker room, then he saw *Raven* pass him. Ryback did not like the suspicious behavior of Raven. He turned around to see why Raven was going to the ring and saw that he was attacking Rob Van Dam. Ryback then decided to go help RVD from Ravens attack. Ryback fought off Raven and Rob Van Dam thanked Ryback for his friendly behavior.
Winner
*I was given permission by TexanFreakShow to use Raven to attack RVD.
Breakdown returns from a commercial to the sound of some familiar music which is met instantly by an insane amount of heat from the fans in attendance.
The owner of the theme steps out onto the stage wearing a snazzy suit, with what has become his trademark expression - one of nothing but coldness and no emotion.
Jericho looks around in disgust at the sea of his former admirers, all roaring in his direction until his music dies down and he begins to speak over their constant droning boos and jeers.
[Chris Jericho] All week long, I've been hearing about how Cesaro scared me away last week. I've seen all your tweets, all your posts on the internet message boards and all of your video reviews of Breakdown... and they all categorically state that Chris Jericho is a shell of his former self.... That Chris Jericho is now nothing more than a coward who runs away with his tail between his legs when faced with someone who has the capability and potential to better him... but you're all wrong.
[Chris Jericho] What everybody has failed to realize is that last week I did exactly what I meant to do by leaving Cesaro in that ring frustrated and foaming at the mouth while preserving my own health and fitness for my upcoming match against Bray Wyatt. It's called being smart and it's one of the reasons why I'm as good as I say I am. By maintaining my pristine condition to compete at the highest performance level possible I reaped the rewards of my actions after I defeated Bray right in the middle of that ring and I proved what I have been saying since my return and that is that I have gone back to the basics of being the best.
[Chris Jericho] Unlike Cesaro, I'm not some bald-headed meathead who balls his fists and jumps into a fight he can't win just because someone else tells me to. And that someone just happens to be Paul Heyman... a despicable man, who trawls the backstage area with his poisonous words, turning whoever will listen into his one of his puppets to carry out his bidding. Instead of trying to start a war with me, Cesaro should be more concerned with the leech stuck to his side, sucking out every ounce of limited potential he has and dimming his barely-lit spotlight before inevitably moving on to his next "client".
[Chris Jericho] I said last week that I was surprised that Heyman had saddled up with Cesaro due to him lacking in every possible department, and I stand by my words. You could say I'm shocked that a parasite as advanced as Paul Heyman has made such a poor judgment to name Cesaro as one of his hosts, given the fact that he's never proven he can compete at the highest level and that he has never been and never will be World Heavyweight Champion. Maybe Heyman is losing it in his old age, but I'm intrigued.
[Chris Jericho] Tonight I face another of Paul Heyman's mindless minions... the liar and the fraud known as CM Punk. The bogus "best in the world" and the man who I believe is the biggest hypocrite on the entire roster today. But just like Cesaro, Punk is no threat. And after I prove exactly who is the real best in the world tonight, I'm going to satisfy my curiosity. I'm going to give in to my intrigue and I'm going to invite Paul Heyman on to the returning episode of the Highlight Reel next week.
[Chris Jericho] And Paul, if you accept my invitation, I ask you to come alone. Because I want to look into those beady reptile eyes of yours with no distractions. I want to hear your pointed tongue spew venom and I want to see the fear slowly set in as I expose you as the parasite that you are. I want to see the so-called "evil mastermind" retreat into his shell in pure terror as I shine the light of truth and facts on him and show the world exactly what type of a man he is, and I want to hear what flawed explanation or broken logic you can conjure up for continuing to keep someone like Cesaro under your scaly wing.
[Chris Jericho] And Paul, I suggest you keep your lapdogs on their leashes next week, or I promise you that I'll make it my own personal goal to put them down, one...by...one.
Jericho's music hits as he utters his final words with obvious self-belief and intent. He turns and leaves quickly in a confident manner as the fans continue to roar after him.
Breakdown rolls on as the screen cuts to a "Did You Know?" fact screen which goes into details about how many hours and episodes of Breakdown there has been since XWL's inception. Thrilling stuff...

We turn to a backstage area where the Intercontinental Champion, Sheamus is looking at the camera in a snarky way.
Sheamus: Ladies and gentlemen, fellas and....fellettes....? I am The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus, and it's time for me to talk about something that's been bugging me for a while now. You know, after these last two PPVs where I kicked the arses of two of the members of The Whole Shebang, I thought I was done with them. I thought they would finally piss off and bother some other superstar, but no. Like flies on a piece of dog crap, they seem to be quite....attached to me. Is it my pale skin? Is it the fact that I'm holding the most prestigious piece of gold this side of the country? Or is it the fact that maybe, just maybe, they think they can beat me with the one man they have left in the equation, the one man they seem to forgot to remember that he existed, that's right, Tyson Tomko. You know, it seems that they treat this man like he's an afterthought, like he's....expendable. And now with this chance, he can finally prove to himself and the world that he's not an afterthought.
Sheamus looks to the side for a bit and catches a breather.
Sheamus: ...So you want to challenge me to a match at International Incident? You want this title, Tomko? You've got it. You and me at International Incident. You better bring your A game fella, otherwise I won't hesitate to Brogue Kick those tattoos off of your body! I'm not looking for a wrestling match come my title match, I'm looking for a war! Because I can see it in your eyes......You're a man who enjoys a good fight. DiBiase and Gargano, yeah they wanted this title, they wanted it bad, but they didn't want it that badly. I sensed it from your little speech last week, you have what it takes to become a successful Intercontinental Champion, the problem is.......How are you going to find a way to take this thing from me? I've beaten the rest, and hell, I've even put you through a table in the past. What's it going to take, Tomko? Another disgusting tattoo on your body, for protection? Perhaps you could get one of those Japanese characters on your back that says, "Wussy" on it, yeah, that'll make ya look real threatening, fella. I'll see you soon.
