XWL Breakdown: 8/22/2014 - 8/29/2014

Breakdown returns to the back area which we've seen many of times. A couch, which the camera is facing with a man sitting on it and another pacing behind it. This time, the roles are reversed however. Matt Striker sits on the couch while Eric Young paces behind him, obviously in quite the mood after what had happened at International Incident. Eric had Styles right where he wanted him just for Styles to make a grand escape.

[Matt Striker]
I think you need to calm down. It's going to be another month before you get another shot at him.

Matt, the same man who at one time told Eric to watch his back is now trying to be the voice of reason it would seem. Striker tried to defend Eric all that time ago when AJ turned his back on the fans and became a mercenary for Stephanie.

[Eric Young]
I won't be happy until I get to knock his teeth down his throat. He was my friend. I've known him for years and he does that!? Then, just to run away when he has the chance to prove he is still a man. Pathetic.

Young has never quite been this upset since joining XWL.

[Matt Striker]
I would think you'd be jumping for joy, I mean, you do get a title shot in a month.

Eric stop dead, taken back by this.

[Eric Young]
Wait, what?

Matt turns around, confused.

[Matt Striker]
What? The title shot? Are you serious!?

Matt jumps up, turning to Eric.

[Matt Striker]
I knew you came in a bit later than usual but did you really miss the opening of the show.

[Eric Young]
I was looking for AJ! Who opened it?

[Matt Striker]
Stephanie.

[Eric Young]
She gave me a title shot at Eye for an Eye? Just like that?

[Matt Striker]
Well, no. Where do I start? Um... Yeah, so, Stephanie came out, then John came out, then Vince came out. Then Vince declared the title match at Eye for an Eye would be contested in an Elimination Chamber. He said that Nakamura would be in it for a rematch considering what happened at International Incident. Along with Shawn and Dean, both of which never got their rematch. Then said you and AJ Styles would be in it.

[Eric Young]
Wait, me and AJ?

[Matt Striker]
Yep.

[Eric Young]
In an Elimination Chamber?

[Matt Striker]
Yep.

[Eric Young]
With the world title on the line!?

[Matt Striker]
Yes sir.

Eric seems taken back by the news as a wicked smile grows across his face.

[Eric Young]
So at Eye for an Eye, my two years of hard work pays off in my getting a world title shot and another shot at AJ, who doesn't get the chance to run this time? It must be my lucky day.

[Matt Striker]
I guess so. Any idea on how you're gonna win that? You bruise easy Eric.

[Eric Young]
But it'll be worth it. I'll break my arm just to walk out of that chamber with AJ's teeth in one hand and a world title in the other. Just you wait.

[Matt Striker]
So, is that that? You're just sure you're doing this?

[Eric Young]
I'm sure of everything till it backfires. That's why I always get back up again. That drive, Matt, is what makes me, well, me.

[Matt Striker]
Oh yeah, so, you heard that you get to fight Shelley tonight, right?

[Eric Young]
My day just gets better and better. Thanks Matt. I guess I need to go and get warmed up for that anyways. You can just, hang out here. Don't eat all my chicken though.

Young gives Matt a serious look, cutting short any smile that was coming. Eric turns to leave as Matt finally smiles, cutting the segment.

Ding Ding Ding, Ring the bell! And you winner by pinfall Sasha Banks!

Sasha celebrates her victory, she has done it she has finally knocked of Summer Rae. Meanwhile Summer is in the corner of the ring balled up in a bunch of tears. Sasha approaches her and starts to taunt at her. When Summer finally had enough she screams to the top of her lungs and exits the ring running down the ramp ashamed. Sasha continues to taunt and celebrate, yelling out thing like "Yea Im the Boss", "Get out my ring", "Its Sasha time" etc. While that roles on for a couple more minutes the camera man takes us backstage where a reporter has caught up with Summer Rae. Here is what was said.

Reporter
Summer, Summer can I get a quick word with you please.. After your lost to the women that you practically made who she is today how do you feel after a loss like that?

Summer Rae
What do you mean how do I feel its embarrassing, its humiliating. How would you feel if you were in my shoes? Huh?


Reporter
Well. i dont...

Summer Rae
Exactly you dont!


Reporter
So what are your plans after a night like this for you?

Summer Rae
I honestly don't know, I don't feel the wrestling business well XWL if for me I don't think you guys will hear from Summer Rae any time soon.

Summer dashes off in tears leaving the reporter alone with the camera pointing at her. The camera then fades to the next segment.

Normal Match

Breakdown returns from commercials and we go backstage where a very agitated "Adam Cole" is waiting to get a few things off his chest.



Adam Cole
Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan what does it take for you to leave? What are you expecting me to do? Harper I thought I ended this at Digital Decision but I was wrong wasn't I because instead Bray you decided that you didn't do enough at Digital Decision so thought you would travel all the way to Japan to face me once but this time one on one. Yeah what I did at the PPV was a bit of a cheap shot and I apologise to the fans that I had to resort to the low blow that cost me the match. But it was the only way I could survive, it was the only way out of that match that I could think of and that I am not sorry for. Bray, Luke, Erick I don't know still to this day what I have done to upset you, what I have done for you to target me but I then came to the realisation that the only reason is that there is not one. I think you just picked a name out of the hat who you thought you could beat down and bully but you picked the wrong name because I will do anything to keep my wrestling career going and you won't be stopping me from climbing the ladder to be the top star here in XWL.



Adam Cole:
I know your not going to give up until you cause me serious harm or run me out of XWL but the first option is the only way that is going to happen and I will do my best to make sure that never happens. If I have to superkick your faces off everytime I see you. If I have to throw you off stages, if I have to use weapons, if I have to do anything I will to make sure you don't get your way. So I hope you take this as a warning I won't be bulli--



Suddenly the lights go out backstage and Adam Cole is heard saying "What the hell is going on?" Adam Cole after that questions jumps back when two figures appear moving in the darkness. The lights come back on and reveal Luke Harper and Erick Rowan standing there whilst Cole stands a few feet back looking confused but that look then changes to anger for a split second before Cole realises what is about to go down. Just as that happens Harper and Rowan storm towards Cole who manages to block the initial couple of blows from the Wyatt's but is blocking is futile because the they are relentless and they start beating Cole like a government mule. Cole somehow manages to stay on his feet and he stumbles back out of their grasp for a few moments before they pursuit him again.

Cole manages to hit Harper with a couple of forearms as they brawl backstage but Rowan hits a hard closed fist right to the temple of Adam Cole who falls back in a daze. Cole is trying to shake off that blow but Rowan starts stomping on him viscously. He stomps on his arms and his legs but there isn't any strategy here. Harper is now back in the fray and grabs hold of Rowan and drags him off Cole who has managed to block as much of those stomps and he could and is beginning to crawl away. Harper pushes Rowan back as to signal to his "brother" that Cole is his now. Harper reaches Cole who has crawled some distance trying to survive. Harper goes to grab Cole but is met with another one of those forearm shots which knocks Harper back, Cole manages to get to his feet and flies in with another forearm. Rowan charges forward but a roundhouse kick to the side of the head is what he gets for his troubles. Cole then turns his attention back to Harper who looks like he is about to blast Cole with a huge blow but Cole dodges the shot and Cole goes to hit him with a superkick which Harper manages to catch the foot and pushes Cole out to the side of the stage in front the live audience. Cole tries to get back to his feet but as he does, Luke Harper hits him square in the face with a big boot.

Harper followed not far behind by Rowan approach the dazed and nearly out of it Adam Cole. Harper smashes Cole with a bit hammering blow which almost knocks Cole out. Harper starts to drag Cole onto the ramp and down the ramp towards the ring.

J.R:
Those monsters are destroying Adam Cole, is there anybody who can stop them for gods sake.

King:
I don't know if there is anyone who is stupid enough to get involved with the Wyatts. I mean this is horrible but who wants the same punishment.

Michael Cole:
I know I wouldn't help if I wanted my body intact. Cole brought this on himself after using the cheap way out in Japan.

The London crowd are booing the Wyatts but also chanting Adam Cole trying to inject some life into him as he is being dragged to the ring. Harper makes it to the ringside area and rolls Cole into the ring and awaits his "brother" who stumbles towards him still feeling the effects of that roundhouse kick. Rowan joins his brother by the ring whilst Cole is crawling towards the opposite ropes trying to shake off the beating he has taken. The fans continue to cheer him on. Harper climbs the ring apron whilst Rowan walks around to the opposite side to block Cole's exit from the other side. Rowan climbs that apron and both Harper and stare at their prey in the middle of the ring.

J.R:
Somebody stop this, get some goddamn officials out here or something, this is going to be a massacre.

King: Looks like the officials don't want to risk getting hurt either J.R. This is just wrong.

Adam Cole has managed to make it to his feet and shook some of the cobwebs off he then freezes dead in the middle of the ring and slowly looks left and catches the cold hard stare of Rowan. He then looks right and catches the cold gaze from Harper. Harper then slowly enters through the ropes trying to distract Cole. Cole is not stupid as he turns his attention to Rowan who is also entering through the ropes. Adam Cole hits a superkick right to the side of the head knocking Rowan back through the ropes and hard onto the apron then to the outside. Harper has made it in the ring and rushes towards Cole who uses what is left of his wits and ducks the clothesline and rolls under the bottom rope and starts walking backwards up the ramp whilst Harper stares on looking slightly disappointed. Rowan stumbles back into the ring with the help from Harper and they both stare on at Cole who is nearly at the top of the ramp.

J.R:
Cole only just escaped there, he is very lucky tonight, but is this going to end. Won't the Wyatt's just keep coming after him.

King:
Cole is going to have to hire some help or something because those guys are relentless.

Michael Cole:
Maybe Cole should consider going back to the minor leagues he had it easier there didn't he?

Before Michael Cole can finish what else he was going to say he is cut off by a certain persons entrance music.



Stephanie McMahon appears on the ramp with a microphone in hand. Michael Cole turns around with a look of relief hoping this is good news. Maybe the Wyatts will be banned from touching Cole or something along those lines. Stephanie looks around and then he lifts the mic to her mouth to talk.



Stephanie McMahon:
You know what?I have been watching this ermm "war" develop over the coming weeks, I have watched Luke Harper interfere in Adam Cole's matches, I have seen Erick Rowan show up and attack Adam Cole. I have even seen the whole Wyatt family join together in this war or whatever you want to call it with Adam Cole. Adam Cole, you have been a victim for a couple of months now. I know you are most likely sick of these attacks when your trying to build a career here in the XWL. Well after watching this vendetta I have noticed that you Adam haven't always been the victim. I mean at Digital Decision you put Luke Harper's XWL career in doubt, you could of caused some problems with our XWL product. You also have interfered in matches to get your "own back". In Japan at the International Incident Pay Per View you got yourself disqualified which is leaves a bad taste in everyone mouths like the XWL fans. Even tonight you came down and got involved in attacking Harper and Rowan when they attacked Dolph Ziggler.

J.R:
Oh Come on, that is ridiculous he has just been trying to survive and help somebody who was nearly another victim of the Wyatts.

Michael Cole:
Adam Cole should of kept his nose clean and followed the rules.



Stephanie McMahon:
Well I am getting sick of this because it is disrupting my show and I am not having this anymore. So I have come up with a solution to this problem. At Eye for an Eye, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will face Adam Cole inside the

ELIMINATION CHAMBER!!!!!

J.R: Oh god no, how the hell is that even fair?? Adam Cole has no chance in hell of escaping that chamber with this career still intact, this is career suicide.

Adam Cole looks shocked as he looks dead straight at Steph. He is saying something which isn't being picked up by the mic. Adam Cole starts to stumble closer to Steph like he has got something to say but she holds her hand up to stop him dead in his tracks. She lifts the mic up once again.



Stephanie McMahon:
Oh don't worry Adam, you have got a couple of weeks until then and I am going to throw you a bone, if you can find two other superstars stupid enough to join you in the chamber we can always make it 3 on 3 but Adam, good luck with that.



Steph turns and walks backstage with a smirk on her face whilst Adam Cole stands there shocked. The Wyatts are still staring up at Cole they had no reaction to that announcement. We fade to a hype package for the upcoming release of Digital Decision on DVD and BluRay.

Returning from a commercial break, heading backstage within The O2 Arena, a sudden pop can be heard in the background, as we see a certain diva. Is it Paige? No, here's a turn of events for you, it's Layla! Although she'd be on the receiving end of nothing but hate after her antics at International Incident if we were anywhere else in the world...we're not just anywhere tonight, we're in London England, the hometown of this devious diva. Now as history shows it's hard for an audience to root against one of their own, so in other words, all hail the queen. Layla's sat in an elevated chair, getting her make up done by a different beautician than normal. Where's Janet? Where's Karen? Who is this mystery woman? Once the pop subsides, the unknown lady begins to move Layla's hair out of the way so she can efficiently do her job.




[Layla]
Oh my gosh, it feels so good to be home again.

[Jackie]
Especially after how Japan treated you last night.

[Layla]
I couldn't believe it. I mean, they're supposed to be hospitable people, and...I've never felt so unwelcome. But like my girl Taylor Swift says, I always just "shake it off."

Layla crosses both arms across her shoulders, bushing away the "hate' with an ever so arrogant grin on her face.


[Jackie]
At least your hometown crowd will give you the support you deserve.


Oh Layla, always a joy to deal with aren't you? And who is this Jackie character? Either she's as snooty as Layla, or she's one of those stylists that just tell you what you wanna hear. In fact she could actually be just that. Never disclosing her actual feelings on something so she doesn't have to put up with people like Layla and their lack of acceptance for other people and their opinions.




[Layla]
Right? London loves them some Layla, and why wouldn't they? I'm the most decorated diva in XWL history, and I represent them proudly. I give England the recognition it deserves by having someone like me, take this place by storm like I have.

[Jackie]
No one can ever say you're not a thoughtful person.

[Layla]
Ain't that the truth.

No, it isn't Layla...Thoughtful sure, about yourself...but when it comes to others you wouldn't know the first thing about it. But we get a distinct read on Jackie even more now. She's definitely playing to Layla's ego to make this an easy experience for her, my isn't she smart?

[Jackie]
So girl, give me the dish on you and Fandango, I did not expect you two to get back together.

[Layla]
Well, you know all couples have their tiffs, and truthfully I did overreact a little. I mean, sure Digital Decision was a bit of a bump in the road for us, but I realize now I was too hard on him. Deep down he does care about me, why else would he be so brave as to attack CM Punk? He was fighting for his integrity as a man, and in my honor. I was watching backstage, and...I knew in that moment he cared about me, that I needed to give him another chance and forgive him, and I'm so glad I did.

[Jackie]
You really do make a cute couple, I bet you're excited to go out and dance together again, huh?

Gushing over her reunion with Fandango, Layla's happiness is evident by how her eyes light up as soon as he was brought. But of course, she could be way more into this “relationship” than he is, after all...Fandango never comes across like the type of guy that would settle for one woman, or ever be committed...but hey, we'd never say to Layla because these two were meant for one another. They're just two crazy kids in love, or they're just crazy...either way Layla's ecstatic to be back with him, but of course that makes us wonder if Fandango truly feels as strongly as she does.




[Layla]
It's like, he gets me. You know? He's so sweet, he's light on his feet, and he sure knows how to sweep me off mine. Not to mention, he is a faaan...tastic kisser.


La la la la, we don't wanna know that, shut up and talk about something else please because nobody wants airtime to be wasted on an entire segment devoted to how in “love” they are.


[Jackie]
It's a shame International Incident wasn't as great of a night for your friend, as it was for you.


Thank you based Jackie, Madison Rayne almost became Divas Champion, but the other Madison threw her out of the ring before she could get the pin. Naturally Madison is upset about this, but does Layla feel bad for her friend, or is she just focused on...well, her getting a shot. I mean she made it as clear as anything has ever been that she is setting her sights on The Divas Championship, so where does Layla's head lie in this situation?




[Layla]
Who?

Well gee, that says it all, doesn't it? You know, the woman you've repeatedly had friendly, yet bitchy conversations with for three out of the last four weeks, including International Incident?


[Jackie]
Madison Rayne?



[Layla]
Oh right, yeah...poor thing, I hope she's okay.

Sure you do Layla, sure you do... Then, as if by coincidence, Jackie looks up, startled by another coming into the room. Someone can be heard huffing and puffing and sure enough, it is revealed to be Madison Rayne. Ah, the lovely Rayne, just nights away from her what would have been victory if not for the antics of Eagles. She pulls up a seat next to Layla, obviously upset as Layla smiles at her.

[Layla]
Are you okay girl?

Madison sighs heavily.

[Madison Rayne]
Honestly, I don't even want to talk about it. That man, Madison Eagles stole my win at International Incident. Everyone knows it but yet she can still get away with it because everyone's afraid that she'll eat them like the fatty she is.

Harsh. She's not a bad looking girl, be nicer Madison.

[Layla]
How can they even let a thief walk around here with your title like that?

[Madison Rayne]
That's what I'm saying. But, I guess there is a tad bit of light in the dark. I get an easy win tonight off the Bellas alongside the hometown hero.

Rayne smiles at Layla, her bit- I mean, bestie.

[Madison Rayne]
I was even thinking of going out there in the colors of your flag. Whatcha think?


[Layla]
You totally should, we'd be like The United Queendom...but you know, much better because unlike Paige, you actually would never dare double cross me like she did. I mean does nobody have loyalty to a friend anymore?

Oh Layla, the irony, it's too much. Stop it, you can't seriously say that considering you stabbed Michelle McCool in the back several years ago, right?

[Madison Rayne]
I'm loyal to you girl! And I love that name. The United Queendom. But you know, less trashy than before now that you've got a much prettier, and much better partner.

But Paige is a former diva's champion when you just lost Maddy. Both of these women need to rethink the things they say.

[Layla]
Exactly, Paige was nothing but dead weight. She's the reason we lost against The Bella Twins, but tonight...you and I, we're going to reign supreme because that's what queens do.

Jackie sort of faded into the background the minute Madison stepped onto the scene, but she doesn't seem like one to sit around and watch a conversation so she chimes in whether they want her to or not.

[Jackie]
Hey Madison, did you hear the good news? Layla and Fandango got back together, maybe you two can double date with Josh after your victory tonight?

Madison grows a smile, one of those fake ones she usually wears as she goes to hugs Layla. She can be seen mouthing "Really" to Jackie as Jackie shrugs.

[Madison Rayne]
I'm so happy for you two. Maybe Josh can finally get the guts to ask me out again considering you ran him off last time. Actually, we can go after the show if you want! I could probably just call him and see about going out for a victory dinner.

[Layla]
Yeah, about that...I'm really sorry girl, I was just sort of taking my own misery out on you, and Josh's relationship. But trust me, he'd be a fool to not wanna go out tonight, I mean if he's the type that'll give up that easy, he's not worth your time anyways.

[Madison Rayne]
And Fandango was a fool for ever making you feel less important than what you really are. I bet he made up for that didn't he?

[Layla]
There's no better way to show someone how sorry you are than by asserting your dominance over the so called "Best in the World." He did it just for me, he knew CM Punk's tongue down my throat still haunts me to this day, and he hasn't ever let that so called "man" forget about the night he crossed the line.

Layla obviously would like to believe Fandango did that for her, but...well, it was more about his ego being deflated thanks to the pin that was Punk, rather than in some heroic act of "love." But hey, Layla's probably right, and we're probably wrong. Or we're exactly right and she's the one that's blinded by how emotionally invested she is in over a guy that quite frankly is nothing but a weirdo in the eyes of most everyone else here.

[Madison Rayne]
Uh, yeah. Something like that. Anyways, once your done, we can go and get dressed so I can show you how cute my attire is tonight.

[Layla]
If only Stephanie had given us a little more notice, we could have had matching attires made for our first time teaming together! Oh well, I suppose there's always next time, right?

[Madison Rayne]
Totally girl. We'll make sure they put us together again after tonight.

Madison's tone had a subtle hint of insincerity but Layla doesn't seem to notice, and besides...she's likely being just as insincere so they're really quite the pair, aren't they? Jackie puts her brush down then raises a mirror up to Layla who takes the next five long seconds to admire herself. Once she lets out a satisfactory sigh, she gets up then turns to Madison.

[Layla]
We're going to look so amazing out there, Madison. Look out London, here comes the REAL United Queendom, and we're going to rule over those Bella Twins

Layla's hand raises up for a high five, and though Madison doesn't immediately go for it, she eventually slaps Layla's hand and the two are off. How will these two ladies fair against sisters? Will they be able to put aside their petty digs and focus on putting Brie and Nikki away, or will these weeks of this dysfunctional friendship come to an end when they finally are out there together? After a friendly high five, Layla and Madison head off together, leaving Jackie to sigh in relief that she got through that.

This would be right around the time when Breakdown would fade to a commercial break or the next segment but instead the cameras linger around the area while Jackie tries to tidy up after Hurricane Laydison threatened to ruin her humble little spot backstage.

Footsteps can be heard coming from a distance, alerting Jackie to what could be the unfortunate return of either Madison or Layla. Instead she’s given a moment of reprieve courtesy of the wrestling gods when it’s actually Athena who steps into the shot – Jackie noticeably takes a deep sigh of relief.

Athena, on the other hand, is far from relaxed. In fact, she’s stewing as she paces back and forth like a dog desperately attempting to hang onto the scent of the target it was tracking. Looking around this makeup area, Athena, knows, she just knows, that Layla – the woman who made her feel less than welcome in the company was here – just a few steps ahead of her just as she was at Digital Decision.

[Jackie]
It’s Layla, isn’t it?

Athena runs a hand through her hair and takes a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself down but it’s of no use.

Athena
Who else would have me this angry on what should be the best nights of my life? She’s just…ugh!

[Jackie]
You just missed her, hon.

As the stylist confirms the obvious, Athena throws up her hands in frustration. Jackie offers a comforting smile, then pats the headrest of her chair, offering Athena a chance to sit down and relax, probably for the first time in weeks. Athena accepts the invitation by taking a seat in the chair though she is still a long way from being anywhere close to relaxed.

Athena
Of course I did. After all, I’m dealing with the most slippery little she-devil XWL has had the pleasure of dealing with. She’s a master at running away from the trouble she starts, but I will catch her.

[Jackie]
You’re looking at it from the wrong perspective, her not being here is the best thing possible for you.

Athena
Not if I want closure.

[Jackie]
Cut the nonsense – it’s revenge you want.

Athena
She tried to end my career!

Done combing through Athena’s hair, Jackie walks around to the table where she grabs a bottle of some kind of liquid that she squeezes into her hands. Talking as she works, Jackie massages the oil between her palms, before walking over to Athena and kneading it into her scalp and hair.

[Jackie]
Tried and failed, which is enough to prove to the world how strong you are and how weak she is in comparison. On the quest for revenge is where many saints become sinners and I’d hate to see a good girl like you let yourself get corrupted.

Athena
So I’m just supposed to let it go? Trying to take the high-road is what put me on the sidelines for almost a month in the first place!

[Jackie]
Don’t you see that there’s plenty of time to give Layla her comeuppance. You should be working under the impression that you will be in this company for years and years, isn’t that what you want?

Athena
Of course, but -  

Jackie shakes her heads and sighs while cutting Athena off. She’s doing her best to be patient and calm the wrestler down, but either she’s doing a terrible job at it or Athena is just inconsolable at this point in time. She grabs a hot iron and starts to get to work on straightening the diva’s hair.

[Jackie]
But Layla is thinking that way too, she certainly isn’t going to walk from XWL without kicking and screaming all the way to the doors. So do you really believe that as years go by your paths won’t cross again?

Athena
I guess you have a point there.

[Jackie]
You guess? Look, dear, I may not be a wrestler and I don’t envy you gals one bit, but I’ve seen enough of you come and go to take note of where they made their mistakes and if you’re smart you’d take the time to learn from them.

Athena
Okay, okay, no more Layla talk; I haven’t even had time to focus on my match with Bayley and I know that’s not going to be an easy fight.

Jackie sets the iron down and picks up a mirror holding it up slightly behind Athena’s head so that the Wrestling Goddess can examine the stylists handiwork and Athena gives an approving smile letting Jackie know she loves it.

[Jackie]
Don’t her how absolutely adorable she is fool you, she certainly knows how to take care of her business inside of that ring.

Athena
Well was pretty close to becoming the new diva’s champion, and maybe if I beat her, or heck, even put in a good showing I can show everybody that it won’t be such a crazy thought to think that one day I could be in a title match giving it everything I’ve got to leave my mark in history.

[Jackie]
That’s the spirit and when I’m done with you, you’re certainly going to look like a million bucks if nothing el—

A man steps into the frame with flowers and hands them to Athena wordlessly before working back into the shadows where he must have magically spawned from. Athena notices that there’s a card attached to the bouquet so she detaches it then rests the flowers on the table.

Athena
What’s this?

Though the question was most likely rhetorical, Jackie peaks over Athena’s shoulder to take a look.

[Jackie]
“To my dearest Athena…” Oh! Sounds like someone already has a fan!

Athena
I don’t know, something about this doesn’t feel right.

[Jackie]
Aw stop being such a Debbie Downer and rip that thing open.

Athena sighs and opens up the card. For a few silent seconds her eyes scan the parchment and the longer she reads, the higher the arch in her frown rises.

[Jackie]
You don’t look too happy, what does it say?

Athena
It…it says that I have to pay this bill immediately.

[Jackie]
For that trip to Japan?

Athena
For the cost of repairing Layla’s heel.

Again, Jackie peaks over Athena’s shoulder to check at the card in order to confirm that this isn’t some kind of trick.

[Jackie]
Oh my… that sure is a lot of cash for one heel. Where are you going?

Athena
I’m going find that hussy and shove this bill where the sun don’t shine. Thanks for the hairdo.

After sliding out of the seat, Athena storms of while Jackie looks sad as she watches her latest client walks away.

[Jackie]
Poor girl…

Poor girl indeed, not only did she miss Layla, just as she finally started to relax a little bit, a bill was delivered to her. Is Layla seriously this god awful that she'd have some messenger give Athena a bill for destroying her shoe at International Incident? Surely she's got several others like them. Couldn't she just give this new girl a break? It's tactics of a true bully, someone that doesn't like someone without even getting to know them. Layla's made an enemy in Athena, and whether she realizes it or not, the more she pushes, the longer she toys with her, the greater the damage will be when Athena FINALLY gets her hands on Layla. Athena may have left in a huff but all we can hope is that she'll cool down in time to actually enjoy her first match ever in XWL, against the ever so sweet and welcoming Bayley.

As the cameras start rolling to introduce the segment General Manager Stephanie McMahon is stood in her office as someone knocks on the door and Madison Eagles enters the room standing in front of Stephanie as she welcomes her into her office

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Madison, just the person I was looking for.

As she's welcomed into Stephanie's Office, Madison hastily responses to the GM

[[Madison Eagles]]
To congratulate me on STILL being your Diva's championship, right? I mean I did beat three Diva's last week at International Incident, in one match I might add. Now I'm not one to brag, but come on, that was pretty sweet you've got to admit. Too sweet, actually.

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Actually, Madison, I don't have to admit that. Now that's not to say that what you did was very impressive, because it was, and frankly I convinced you wouldn't be able to walk out as champion, so in that respect, congrats, you proved me wrong, and that doesn't happen very often.

[[Madison Eagles]]
I knew you got me, Stephanie, fighting champion, right here, I can beat anyone you throw at me, just like I did last week. You know, maybe you're not as bad as we thought.

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Well that's good to hear, Madison, however...

As Stephanie says however and pauses for a brief moment, Madison audibly sighs expecting the worst

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
However why I wanted to see you was because next month at Eye for an Eye you will be defending your Diva's championship once again, and as I'm sure you're aware traditionally the XWL World Heavyweight championship will be defended inside the Elimination Chamber. The most devastating structure in XWL today, bones will be broken, career's will be shortened, the lives of every superstar that steps foot inside will be changed forever and they will do it for the chance to call themselves the XWL World Heavyweight champion.

Trying to distract Stephanie, Madison changes the subject talking about the Main Event for the upcoming Pay-Per-View event.

[[Madison Eagles]]
That should be a great match, and the only way it could be better is when AJ Styles bringing the gold back home to the Bullet Club, can you imagine that? Madison Eagles, still your Diva's champion, The Machine Gun winning the United States championship and The Phenomenal One AJ Styles getting his hands on the World Heavyweight championship? Now if you gave Prince a shot at Tomko you'd be onto something special right there, imagine that the Bullet Club holding all the gold. I like the sound of that and I know I'm not the only one who does.

Not caring for Madison's words one bit, Stephanie bluntly puts an end to Madison's rant on her and the Bullet Club's conquest for gold

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Yes, I'm sure you and all of the Bullet Club would love to see that happen, but unfortunately Tomko already has a challenger for the Intercontinental championship this month.

Not giving up so easily Madison continues to press Stephanie on the idea of Devitt challenging for the gold

[[Madison Eagles]]
Just think about it. Prince Devitt as Intercontinental champion? It has a nice ring to it.

Clearly Stephanie has had enough of this conversation, as she changes the subject back to the Diva's championship

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Now's not the time or place for that. Now, the reason I wanted to see you was because I wanted to tell you personally who you will be defending your Diva's championship against at Eye for an Eye.

[[Madison Eagles]]
Right let me guess, I'm going to be defending my title one on one against...

Before she can say another word Steph cuts her off to correct her on her assumptions

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Well the thing is Madison, it won't be one on one. You will be defending your XWL Diva's championship against none other than Bayley!

Madison is clearly not too impressed on her challenger as she happily tells Stephanie exactly what she thinks of the proposed match

[[Madison Eagles]]
Oh, that's original, I guess we're just giving undeserving rematches to every Diva anyway, I mean Paige had two shots at my title, now Bayley gets two as well? I should of seen it coming really, god forbid you actually give me someone I haven't beat already.

Not acknowledging her complaints Stephanie then names a second challenger for the Diva's championship

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
And you will defending your Diva's championship against Madison Rayne!

[[Madison Eagles]]
No, I beat her last week as well. Come on, there are other Diva's you know.

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
And you will also be defending your championship against the former Diva's champion Layla! And also against Athena!

With the news getting worse and worse for Madison Eagles she stands there, clearly not happy with what she's hearing before letting Stephanie know her opinion on this

[[Madison Eagles]]
Four People? I have to defend my title against four people? That's not fair! What have I done to deserve this?

But again without addressing Madison's complaints, Stephanie puts the Cherry on top of the cake that is Madison's next title defense at Eye for an Eye

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
And it will be inside the Elimination Chamber!

Upon hearing the news, Madison doesn't take to it so kindly to say the least

[[Madison Eagles]]
WHAT? You can't do that!

Coming back at Madison just as harsh, Stephanie quickly puts Madison in her place

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
No, I can do whatever I want, and I just so happen to believe that those four Diva's deserve a shot at your championship, and as your Bayley and Madison Rayne, well you didn't actually pin them last week, so as far as I'm concerned you didn't actually defeat them, which is why I'm giving you the chance to correct that inside the Chamber.

[[Madison Eagles]]
I'd rather you didn't.

Madison goes to walk off before Stephanie starts to speak again causing her to stop to hear what else she has to say

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Oh and in case you were wondering that's only four opponent's because since you are a fighting champion I've decided that you will be the one to name your fifth challenger, and I know you'll make the right decision.

[[Madison Eagles]]
Oh wow, thanks for that, Stephanie. Seriously, that's just great. I get to name the fifth person who's going to try to take my title? That's so kind of you, Steph... And what if I decide to choose no one?

[[Stephanie McMahon]]
Well that's entirely up to you, but I wouldn't recommend it, because Madison if you don't choose someone maybe I'll let the XWL Universe decide who the final person in that match will be, and need I remind you just how vindictive they can be? So if you ask me, it's in your best interests to pick someone... And I want that name by the end of the show.

Still clearly unhappy with the situation Madison turns away from Stephanie as she starts to exit the office

[[Madison Eagles]]
... Jerk.

And with that said Madison Eagles quickly exits the Office as the cameras fade out to black ending the segment[/b]

As the camera's head backstage, we see the general manager of Breakdown, Stephanie McMahon, walking down a corridor with what looks to be a concerned look on her face. She keeps walking until she comes to a stop at the XWL Diva's locker room. She takes a deep breath before stepping forward and knocking on the door.



Stephanie knocks on the door six times in succession then steps back, waiting patiently for the door to open, and she isn't left waiting long as the door is opened by none other than Nikk Bella, who scowls as soon as she sees Steph.

Nikki Bella
Stephanie...

Stephanie McMahon
Nikki...

There's an awkward tension in the room as the two women exchange a look, Stephanie's look of concern, and Nikki's look of disgust.

Nikki Bella
Uh... What do you want? If you're looking for one of the girls, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm the only here...

Stephanie McMahon
Good, because I need to speak to you, and after what I'm about to tell you, you'll need to be alone.

Nikki's taken aback by Stephanie's direct approach, there's something she isn't telling her, something that could possibly upset her, naturally she wants to know what that something is.



Nikki Bella
Excuse me?

Stephanie McMahon
You're probably going to need to sit down for this, maybe we could go inside?

Stephanie looks to the Diva's locker room, but Nikki doesn't seem to be in any mood to sit down and have a cosy chat with the woman who's spending all of her time with Nikki's partner.

Nikki Bella
No, I'm fine here, thank you.

Stephanie McMahon
Are you sure? I really think it would be better if we could talk about this privately, away from the cameras.

Nikki Bella
Look, Steph... If you have something to say, just say it.

Stephanie takes another deep breath, almost as if she's preparing herself to tell Nikki whatever it is she has to say.

Stephanie McMahon
It's about your sister, Nikki.

Stephanie doesn't get to go much further before an angry Nikki cuts across her.

Nikki Bella
Brie? What about her? Where is she? What have you done to her?!

Stephanie McMahon
I haven't done anything to her, Nikki, and I don't appreciate that you'd even think that. Under the circumstances, I'm willing to let that one go, you were worried about your sister, and I can relate to that. Whenever Shane would go missing when were younger, I'd always be in a panic.

Nikki only hears one word from what Stephanie just said, and her eyes widen as she now shares Stephanie's look of concern.

Nikki Bella
Missing? Brie's missing?!

Stephanie McMahon
Well, I wouldn't use that word exactly... Look, all I know is that when I came into this building this morning, I was notified by more than one member of staff that your sister has unfortunately decided to hand in her resignation...

Nikki Bella
WHAT?!

Nikki can't believe what she's hearing, would Brie have really left without even telling her?

Stephanie McMahon
I know, I was just as surprised as you are. It was by far the last thing I had expected to hear. I haven't yet had the opportunity of talking to your sister on my own, so I'm not quite sure what led to her abandoning you when you're scheduled to compete in a tag team match later tonight...

Nikki cuts across Stephanie again, this girl sure likes to cut across people.

Nikki Bella
Wait... Tag match? I wasn't told about any tag match...

Stephanie McMahon
You weren't? It's been decided for weeks that when Breakdown came to the United Kingdom, the Bella Twins would return to tag team action against the duo of Madison Rayne, and the hometown hero, Layla. I really am sorry you weren't informed about this, it's a grave oversight on our part, and I assure you, it will not happen again.

Nikki's finding it difficult to process all of this information.

Nikki Bella
I need to speak to Brie...

Nikki reaches down for her cell phone as Stephanie continues.



Stephanie McMahon
That sounds like a great idea. Listen, Nikki, I don't mean to be the barer of bad news, but it's far too late for us to cancel your match, and considering Brie has taken it upon herself to resign from this company, well, I'm so sorry to say, but you're going to have to fight Madison Rayne and Layla alone.

Nikki puts her phone back into her pocket, and the look of concern for her sister now starts to merge with a painful look of concern for her own well being as she prepares to fight both Madison Rayne and Layla, two former Diva's Champions, by herself.

Stephanie McMahon
I'm so sorry for all of this Nikki, I did try to warn you about her...

Nikki stares daggers at Stephanie, who realises that she's said too much. Nikki doesn't even bother to respond, instead she heads back into the diva's locker room and slams the door behind her, and as soon as she's out of sight, a devilish grin appears on the face of the general manager before she walks away, bringing this segment to an abrupt end.

Breakdown returns to ringside, Balloons are all around ringside, along with "Welcome Home" banners tied around the ring and barricades. The fans are wondering what's going on until....









The crowds confusing turns to disappointment as it's one..Bo Dallas!




Bo walks out from behind the curtain, not wearing a championship around his waist. He has a huge smile across his face looking around the arena with joy.



Balloons begin to fall from the roof, Bo spins around with his arms out clearly enjoying this moment.



Bo walks down the ramp, with thumbs up to various fans. He enters the ring up the steps, and puts on a party hat and picks up a microphone.



[Bo Dallas]
Welcome to the Bo Dallas homecoming! Because each and everyone of you are my Bolievers...I decided to hold my home coming to Breakdown right here in London! When I made my return to XWL at International Incident I could see the delight in the faces of all my bolievers, Your hero was back! Obviously I'm not talking about Alex Shelley, I'm talking about me..Bo Dallas! I could see that Alex was upsetting you all, his negativity was ruining the show for all of you...So I needed to inspire you all and I needed to Inspire Alex. Sadly, he gave up on his dream but I didn't and I haven't given up on Alex! I'm going to inspire him to achieve his dream.



[Bo Dallas]
But tonight isn't about Alex Shelley...it's about Bo! I knew I had to do something special to thank all of you for making it possible for me to be here! I'm here for the people! and tonight...You're all invited to the Bo Dallas Homecoming Party! You're all here for a very special occa...











It's Adrian Neville! The crowd jump the their feet in cheers for their home countryman....Moments pass by and Neville isn't anywhere to be seen. Bo Dallas looks on in anticipation as the crowd still are in hope that Neville will arrive from behind the curtain, but when a huge smile comes across the face of Bo, It's clear that Neville isn't here...




[Bo Dallas]
I'm sorry Adrian disappointed you all...but he isn't here. I invited him to by homecoming party and he refused! He disappointed each and every one of you again! But don't you guys worry, Bo Dallas will never disappoint you. It's become clear that you people need a hero look me, you need somebody to inspire you! I'm going to teach all of you and everybody backstage that it isn't about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward! and I will always keep moving forward...and you can too! All you've got to do is B.....







As an unfamiliar theme blares through the speakers, it instantly elicits a strong mixed reaction from the London crowd. They’re both weary that this is yet another one of Bo’s tricks but still grateful that something came along to cut off this undeserved celebration.

The moment Alex Shelley steps through the curtains, however, everyone is cheering as loudly as they can now that they have the knowledge that Shelley’s surprise return at International Incident wasn’t a one-time affair.

Shelley parts his legs, then places a fist over his heart and the other on the small of his back, repeating the same pose he did at the pay per view and just as they did then, the people eat it all up. Shelley applauds on his way down the ramp, pretending to be in awe of this so-called grand celebration.

He enters the ring, accidently popping a balloon in the process and Shelley apologizes profusely as Bo winces as though he were physically harmed when that balloon was destroyed. The crowd begins to chant “one more time” and the excitement builds as he raises his foot above another balloon, but then stops himself to the dismay of the fans.



-Alex Shelley-
Nah, I couldn’t do that the great Bo Dallas who was so gracious enough to throw one hell of a bash and invite a couple thousand of his closest friends so we could all get a good laugh at his expense. It is really a shame that Neville couldn’t make it out here tonight and when I heard how disappointed you were, I had to fulfill my duty as an American Citizen to do right by a fellow patriot no matter how much of a disgrace to the country he may be. Our first names both begin with A, so it’s not too big of a difference, right?



-Alex Shelley-
Being out here, I have to tell you that this may be the saddest party I’ve ever seen and I was there last year when Joey Ryan threw a big one to celebrate bringing home a woman who didn’t give him a little… parting gift, if you catch my drift. But I wouldn’t be surprised if that went over your head because you live in your own little bubble where only you matter and these fans love you because you’re some great hero. I’m afraid to see that’s not the case, Bo.



-Alex Shelley-
In fact, in my hand is that exact reason why because I went all around London asking these people just what it was about you that made them sick to their stomachs and I stayed up all night to tabulate their responses and put together a very extensive list that I hope makes things clear to you once and for all.



-Alex Shelley-
…everything!


Bo removes his party hat clearly looking hurt by Shelly's comments, but a moment passes then a smile comes across the face of Bo



[Bo Dallas]
Oh Alex, You must have asked the question wrong because everybody loves Bo!


The crowd let out a clear Boo for Bo, showing that they don't like him as much as he thinks



[Bo Dallas]
See! They're chanting my name right now, they love me Alex! I'm going to forgive you for trying to turn my Bolievers against me because I can tell you're just angry. You're angry at yourself...There's no need to take that out on me and all these fans here tonight. You can make yourself better, You can improve yourself, Alex. One day....You'll be able to look into a mirror and see a man you can be proud of! There's no need to be angry at yourself any more, because Bo Dallas is here to help you! It's time to put your past failures behind you! I know that's hard when you've failed time and time again but don't worry...you can achieve it.



-Alex Shelley-
You have a point there, Bo: these people do love you and I was so distracted and caught up in wishing they loved me to, the same way Michael Cole feel about his wife, that I didn’t see it at first. But don’t you think you’re going the wrong way about it? This whole party things is overwhelming them, this is more than their money’s worth. Believe it or not, there’s such a thing as too much Bo and if you think they love you now, just imagine how much they’d love you after you were gone for a while? Isn’t that what you people want? For Bo to go?

The crowd cheers the idea and before you know it they break out into a chant of “Bo please go!”



[Bo Dallas]
Guys, you're missing the word "Don't" I know you can carried away in the excitement of seeing me in your country so I'm going to forgive you, I know that you all mean "Bo please don't go!" You people need me, I know. You finally have somebody to look up to and I know you don't want me to go. You can't look up to someone like Alex, He fails time and time again...but I'm a winner and you can all be winners too! You don't have to worry though Alex, I'm going to look out for you and inspire you...Because I can tell you need me.



-Alex Shelley-
Um, okay, that’s an interesting line of thinking, that normally I would entertain, because who loves some good banter more than, Alex Shelley, right? But you’re not a man who listens to reason. I could tell you all the ways that I don’t need you: my United States Title Reign, My Ersatz Tag Title Reign, my Reign overseas, the fact that I managed to get dressed and make it to the arena without you – though I’ll admit that I nearly missed my flight because the Grand Theft Auto shenanigans ran late into the night – but that’s neither here nor there. You’re a man who lives in the moment, who only cares about the here and now, which makes sense because nothing else explains how you can stand there and criticize me when you’re... well, you. So what I’m going to do is go have my match with Eric Young and that will say all that needs to be said about why you should be the one taking notes, not giving advice.



[Bo Dallas]
I'm talking about real accomplishments Alex,but don't worry..someday You'll get there. and Tonight, You will beat Eric Young... I will be sat backstage watching and cheering for you! And I know you have what it takes to win tonight...All you've got to do is BOLIEVE!

Bo then tries to lead the crowd in a rally for Shelley, completely oblivious to the fact that the last person they’d want to be led by is Bo. Shelley shakes his head, both amused and saddened by Bo’s attitude. He exits the ring and is on his way up the ramp when Bo shouts out “You can do it!!”

The crowd pops as Shelley’s theme hits the airwaves and his name is announced as the winner of this ridiculously hard-fought match. Granted, these people would be making whole heaps of noise for whoever came out of this match victorious as both men gave it their all, treating this London crowd to one of the best matches of the night thus far.

Shelley managed to surprise Young with a pin just as the bearded maestro was picking up a head of steam, sealing the deal for the tough competitor, and securing a big return win for the man who appears to have picked up a trick or two during his latest stint in Japan.

Rising to his feet, Shelley allows the ref to raise his arm triumphantly into the air, soaking in the atmosphere as the fans continue to applaud. He looks down and sees Young sitting on the mat, perhaps a little disappointed with the outcome, but when Shelley helps him to his feet, Young doesn’t hesitate to accept the handshake offer and the show of sportsmanship only fills the fans with more delight.

Young exits the ring, ready to regroup and bounce back against whoever he’s slated to take on next week, but Shelley now has a microphone in his hands and through deep breaths in which he tries to steady his heart rate, he manages to get a few words out.  





-Alex Shelley-
Eric, I had this speech prepared win or lose, because I want the world to know that you are one of the hardest working men in this company and it’s great to see that you haven’t lost a step while I was away. See you’re a man who never rests on his laurels and has never changed his facial hair, who he is as a person or as a competitor despite the setbacks you’ve faced in your XWL career. And I can say that based on personal experience because time and time again you are one of the most skilled opponents I face and every time we meet in the ring I have a hell of a time keeping your shoulders down for the three count and tonight was no different  - I couldn’t have asked for a better man to return against. And don’t worry, pal, I’m not going to write you off because I know that if I made one wrong move tonight things would have gone very differently.



-Alex Shelley-
This also doesn’t change the fact that you deserve to be inside the Elimination Chamber match just as much as the other guys, in fact more, because the day when you can hold a championship high above your head and say that you earned it and deserve it, is one that we’re all waiting to see just as much as you want to live through it. We’re all rooting for you, but I hope we’ve all taken note that as much as I do respect you, Eric, I did defeat a man who XWL has determined is worthy to become the next World Champ – though I guess when your champion is a man who turned his back on the people who supported him when he was at his worst, even Jericho - with all his wrinkles, grey hair and bald spots - would look worthy in comparison.



-Alex Shelley-
I know I’ve been gone for quite some time, I know I’ll have to wait my turn, I know the sky is blue, the earth is round and CM Punk is in the back watching a replay of my match wishing his could be that good, I get it. So I’ll accept that I missed the Elimination Chamber boat, but I won’t accept the idea that Alex Shelley wouldn’t have fit right in with all the rest. I’m not taking a backseat anymore; I’m riding shotgun, baby, and I don’t care how much the road winds, how deep the potholes are or how many times we pass guys like Cesaro hoping to bum a ride, I’m going to get to the top. Shingeki no Shelley, my heart is in this and I promise I won’t be going anywhere this time until I make you guys pr—



Shelley turns around and thousands of pairs of eyes divert their attention to the stage to watch as Bo Dallas makes his way out to the arena for the second time – two more times than the people would have liked. Mercifully, this time Bo has nothing to say, instead he simply raises his arms into the air, giving Shelley a double thumbs up as though it were his half-hearted words of encouragement and not Shelley’s own skill that led the Detroit-native to victory. Breakdown fades to the next segment after zooming in uncomfortably close to Bo’s ear-to-ear spanning grin.  

Following a commercial break, Breakdown cuts backstage to where Chris Jericho is shown, smugly smirking to himself, no doubt feeling satisfied with his victory over Cesaro one night ago.  The crowd's boos can be heard.



The camera pans outward to reveal regular XWL Interviewer Renee Young standing by with a microphone in hand, ready to carry out her usual duties.  She wastes little time getting the proceedings underway.



[Renee Young]
Chris Jericho, last night at International Incident you defeated Cesaro in a match which had become very personal in the weeks building up to the event.  What are your thoughts after picking up this victory and what does the future hold for you going forward?



[Chris Jericho]
Last night at International Incident I did exactly what I said I would when I embarrassed and humiliated Cesaro and I proved to Paul Heyman that his newest pet project is a complete and utter failure.  Cesaro never had any potential to begin with.  The fact that Paul Heyman was able to spout his garbage every week about how Cesaro was the next big thing or a future World Heavyweight Champion, was just disrespectful to a competitor like me who has been and will be champion again.



[Chris Jericho]
What it all came down to last night was the simple fact that I am better than Cesaro.  That, and also that the big difference between Cesaro and I, is that I don't need someone to tell me that I'm good, or to hype me up to the masses.  I know that I am good.  I have a fire inside me that burns and drives me on to be the best that I can be, and I believe with every fiber of my being that I truly am the best in the world at what I do.  



[Chris Jericho]
You can have all the potential in the world but without that belief or that confidence, you'll never achieve anything in this business.  While Cesaro had no potential to begin with, I've seen a lot of guys come and go in this business with seemingly unlimited potential only to lack that self-belief and fail miserably.  So to put it bluntly Renee, Cesaro stood a snowball's chance in hell of ever defeating me last night or of ever making the impact his puppet-master likes to think he'll eventually make.  The best advice that I can give to Cesaro is that he should just disappear back to Switzerland and live in obscurity for the rest of his days or he'll continue to be made a laughing stock while he's under the influence of Heyman buying into his lies about inevitable greatness on the horizon.



[Chris Jericho]
But after last night, I'm done with Heyman and Cesaro.  As much as I enjoyed embarrassing them both, they were just a minor roadblock standing in my way.  Tonight, I get my chance to prove once and for all that I am still the man that reigned over this company uninterrupted for almost an entire year.  Tonight, I go one-on-one with the current World Heavyweight Champion John Cena... a man who after all these years finally seems to once again be living up to his own hype and has reached the summit of XWL after a long absence from the top.  Unfortunately for Cena, he's currently in a spot that doesn't belong to him... a spot that was stolen from me by the parasites who infest every arena we visit week after week.  The XWL Universe seduced me with their false cheers and their toxic influential ways, and I unknowingly vacated my spot as the figurehead of this company.  Now that I am free of their web of deceit, I'm back on the path to reclaiming that spot.  



[Chris Jericho]
Tonight, Cena gets his first true test as champion.  I'm not some independent scene internet darling or a corporate favorite receiving the rocket-pack push treatment...  I just am the best in the world.  And when I defeat John Cena, nobody will be able to deny me my rightful shot at bringing my World Heavyweight Championship back home where it belongs.  And the day when that finally happens Renee, will come sooner than you might think...



Jericho smirks into the camera once again, no doubt envisioning himself standing tall as World Heavyweight Champion in the near future before the screen fades to black and Breakdown continues...

Bray Wyatt
It's nice to be loved isn't it Drew? You were loved once. You had people willing to follow you to the end of the world and back but what did you go and do? You went and left them in the dust Drew. You turned your back on them and you walked away and why? So that you could peruse "bigger and better things"??!?!… I will never do such a thing. I will never turn my back on my people, for my love unlike yours, unlike the people who once loved you.. MY LOVE.. Is unconditional. And all that I ask for in return.. Is not money. Is not fame. No. The one thing that I ask for Drew… Is faith.



Bray Wyatt
You left your home, you left your people, and you left your family… You went looking for the promise land without asking what you would have to do in return for it's riches. You assumed that you deserved what others have. But you don't. You don't Drew. And you want to know why?

Bray lifts the lantern, revealing the Wyatt Family in full.



Erick Rowan
We're here…

Bray Wyatt
Run.

Randy Orton
Cheat or Run… Those are the two options that cowards have when put up against a force that they can't overcome. Ted DiBiase choose to run when he was given the challenge of leading a stable, who might I add, never were and never could have been as successful as the first stable that he was apart of, which was lead by yours truly of course, Legacy. Because Ted DiBiase doesn't have it in him to be a leader. And neither does Prince Devitt. You see Devitt, just like Ted, is a coward afraid to fail. The only difference between the two is that when Ted choose to put his tail between his legs and run, Prince Devitt decided to go with the other option… Cheat. And that's exactly what the Bullet Club did at International Incident. They realized that they couldn't beat me, even in a handicap match!! So rather then turn and run like Ted, rather then stand and fight until they breathed their last breath like I would have done, they went and cheated by using a chair to end the match in disqualification.



Randy Orton
Now I know that things aren't over between myself and the Bullet Club. Prince Devitt has an ego even bigger than mine, so I know that we will run into each other sooner or later… But just in case it is sooner, I decided to try and even the playing field.. That's why I'm letting the XWL locker room know that I, Randy Orton, am looking for a partner to help me take down the Bullet Club… You know where to find me..
