*The camera fades from Velvet celebrating, it then pans to backstage where Matt Striker is standing alongside the man who faces his newest rival Christian tonight, Randy Orton.*



Matt Striker- Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here with Randy Orton. Now, Randy. Last week The Peep Show took an unexpected turn as Mark Henry came down to ringside and brutalized you only one week before your match with Christian. Christian revealed at the end of The Peep Show that he has hired him as his “Problem Solver” What kind of a factor do you think Mark Henry will make tonight in your match?

*Matt brings the microphone to Orton's mouth so he can speak.*



Randy Orton- Honestly, Matt.. I should've expected it. What we've seen from Christian in the past few weeks is a combination of desperation and overconfidence. He has a newfound love of himself and he's craving for the attention he badly wants. So he picked on someone that the fans like, but he sure as hell picked on the wrong person. He knew I was too much to handle, he knows that in a one on one match I would take him out for good. So he had to hire himself a bodyguard to do all the dirty work for him. The true acts of a coward who needs to be taught a lesson. Christian, you've gone in too deep, you're past the boiling point and your luck runs out tonight. Earlier tonight you said you're going to end by career “by yourself”. I don't care if you come out alone, or if you bring out Mark Henry with you or not. Because it doesn't matter, he can bring out the whole roster if he wants. It doesn't change the fact that by the end of tonight he will wind up in a hospital bed just wishing he never messed with me.



Randy Orton- The thing about Mark Henry and Christian is, they're trying to get the attention that they used to have. Christian is looking to bring back a “problem solver” to get people to care about him, like when he had Tyson Tomko as his bodyguard. And Mark Henry is just trying to show that his 15 Years of “Hard Work” is actually going to pay off, but it's not. As you know, I've had my fair share of anger problems. But what Mark and Christian have done is not a good thing for them because it inches me closer and closer to my breaking point. If they try anything dodgy tonight then I have a way of letting my anger out, and that is unleashing hell on both of them! You may act like you're not scared when you have a chair in your hand, or when you're hiding behind Mark Henry. But to beat me tonight you have to beat me by either pinfall or submission, and that's something he has never done.. and something he will never ever do.

Matt Striker- As we saw last week Mark Henry did get the better of you, do you think you're maybe underestimating him a little bit?



Randy Orton- Oh believe me when I tell you I am not underestimating Mark Henry, I know exactly what that man is capable of from personal experience. But the thing is he doesn't exactly know what I am capable of, if anything, it's Mark Henry who is underestimating me. Let's be realistic, I know Christian doesn't want to come out to that ring alone. He's not man enough to do that, if Mark Henry comes down to the ring with Christian... It only takes a few seconds to hit an RKO, and in those few seconds, there's Mark Henry out of the equation. I know it's a cliche but the bigger they are, the harder they fall. And I'm prepared to do anything and everything to take Mark Henry out tonight if he dares show his face. Earlier tonight Christian said he'll be celebrating the end of my “Overrated” career, you can talk all you want but that's not going to help you in the ring. All that matters is that I get my revenge on Christian for what he said last week. Never in my life have I felt such anger for one man after what he said.

Matt Striker- You're referring to when Christian brought up your daughter, correct?

*There is a silence for a few seconds until Orton says.*



Randy Orton- ...Correct. Matt, I know I've done a lot of bad things in this company. Well, more than bad. I've commited some of the most dastardly acts ever seen here, I've crossed the line many times but I'm proud to say I'm a different man now. But last week, when Christian brought up my daughter. I'm a professional, and Christian is supposed to be a professional. But after what he said last week he proved he's nothing more then a spineless low life who will say anything to get under my skin. My anger got the best of me last week but do you really blame me? Christian, you crossed that fine line when you brought up my daughter. And I SWEAR, I will make you pay for it. This was just a little problem between you and I, but you know what you did? You made it personal, you've done this to yourself. I'm not looking for a wrestling match tonight, don't expect a hold for hold technical goldmine. I'm going to the ring with one thing in mind, and that's to leave the ring walking, and for Christian to leave the ring on a stretcher. I've advised my wife to turn off the show before my match, I don't want my daughter to see what I do to Christian tonight. I'm coming for blood.

*A sick smile comes across the face of Orton as he turns to Matt Striker.*



Randy Orton- And the blood, is on Christian's hands.

*The fans cheer as Orton walks off the screen, we to a graphic for their match later tonight and then back to ringside.*

We cut back to Interviewer Helms who is standing by with his guest at this time



Helms:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the XWL Universe, it is my pleasure to introduce to you, our own resident superhero, The Hurricane.



Hurricane:
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make time for me Gregory.



Helms:
Not a problem Hurricane, always time for an interview. Now, just last week on Breakdown, you made your first appearance to all of us. What brought about this and why here in XWL?



Hurricane:
Well you see Gregory, in my time spent hiding in the shadows, I've seen alot of things. From The Scorpion King prancing around laying wise cracks down on everyone, to the mistreatment of superstars in the locker rooms, I have seen it all, but the thing that made me decide on coming to XWL, was a man by the name of Brian Kendrick, the same man that I have a match against, tonight.
You see, Brian Kendrick can talk, granted he makes about as much sense as El Generico, but I will give credit where credit is due, he's a believer of his own words. Unfortunately for him, The Hurricane is not a believer of his words and finds most of them to be absolute lies. Brian Kendrick said that he seeks justice, but he is blind to the true definition of the word. The Hurricane was not put here by “the suits”, no, The Hurricane came here of his own accord, to remove all that is wrong with this company.



Helms:
Hurricane, I personally agree with what you are saying. I interviewed Mr. Kendrick two weeks ago on Breakdown and I couldn't catch a word of what he said. And as you noticed he deemed me less intelligent than him. Regardless, Hurricane, do you believe that you can truly prove to the XWL universe that you do have what it takes to defeat Brian and earn the title of the “Defender of Justice” ?



Hurricane:
Defender of Justice has a nice ring to it, but The Hurricane is not here for praise, he is here to cure injustice and that's what I will do. Alot of the guys in the back don't have fate in The Hurricane, they all seem to think that I cannot defeat Kendrick. And maybe I can't, but I will go out there and I will stand in the face of adversity and not rest until justice is brought to the table.



Helms:
Now Hurricane, like all superheroes, you will eventually hang up your cape and throw in the towel, how do you want to be remembered?



Hurricane:
Citizen Helms, if anything The Hurricane would like to be remebered as a hero. The Hurricane would like to be known as the one who single handedly solved the injustice in XWL, but I can admit, I cannot do it all by myself. While I can take on Brian Kendrick by myself, when it comes to solving much larger forms of injustice that may arise in the future, who knows, there may be more than just The Hurricane fighting for freedom.



Helms:
Well Hurricane, that will conclude our interview, thank you for your time.



Hurricane:
Thank you very much Citizen Helms, but the pleasure is all mine.

As the Hurricane and Greggory Helms interview comes to a close a fades away, we're taken back ringside where the entire arena is boo'ing. We of course find out why as the cameras show Redemption General Manager, Vickie Guerrero, in the middle of the ring and with a microphone raised up.



She raises her hand up smiling, but they continue to roar with boos until her smile fades away and her grip on the microphone tightens.

Vickie Guerrero: EXCUSE ME!!

But the boos if possible, get louder as her shriek is heard all around the ringside area.

Vickie Guerrero: I said excuse me!

JR: You'd think Vickie would learn by now that only makes things worse.

King: I just can't stand her voice when she utters those two little words...It just is torment for your ears, JR.

Michael Cole: You guys are unbelievable, she's an amazing woman and she doesn't deserve the insults from you two and these people here in Las Vegas.


Vickie Guerrero: You know what, I do not deserve the disrespect you people are giving me! The same disrespect that everybody gives me on every night! Regardless of your opinions of me, I am the best general manager any wrestling company has ever seen! Nobody makes beneficial decisions like I do...No one has the eye for talent, like I do. And nobody, and I mean nobody, is as highly regarded as I am. I make the decisions that always benefit my brand, and everything it stands for. I allow equal opportunity, and I spice things up when it's needed. Which brings me to why I'm out here.


JR: Spice things up?

King: What is she talking about?

Michael Cole: Maybe we'd know if you guys would shut up for a minute.

Vickie Guerrero: I keep things exciting on my show, and when something is dull, and unappealing, I turn it into a must see! Redemption is the home of impressive superstars, and even more amazing matches. But sadly something has managed to slip by my keen eye for a few weeks. That something is the scheduled United States Championship match later on tonight, involving challenger Mr. Anderson, and champion, Kevin Steen. Now Kevin, despite being everything I cannot stand, you've proven to be a very unique champion. This uniqueness draws in a certain crowd that no one else could attain. With that said, this match is not something people want to see. Contender Mr. Anderson has just not drawn in an interest. He's simply just not enough of a challenge for Kevin tonight. Now don't get me wrong, Anderson has earned his title shot fairly, I just feel like this match needs to be kicked up to the notch that it should be. Which is why I've decided not only will he still challenge Kevin Steen later on tonight, there will be a third participant in this match!

JR: Whoa, what a decision from Vickie Guerrero!

King: Now that's definitely a shocker.

Michael Cole: Please be Miz...Please be Miz.... PLEASE BE MIZ!! Come on Vickie, right the injustice that Miz has had the past two payperview events, give The Miz ONE MORE MATCH!

JR: What makes you think it's The Miz?

Michael Cole: Who else could it be? Who else would add excitement to a match this dull? I mean I thought Kevin Steen was just awful by himself, but then pair him with Mr. Anderson and we've got a perfect cure for insomnia!

King: That's not very nice...

Michael Cole: Well pardon me for being the voice of XWL and saying what everyone is thinking.


Vickie Guerrero: Redemption is the home of highly impressive talents, and one lucky man will get an opportunity tonight that no one saw coming. But who is it you ask? Well before I tell you who it is...Let me start by taking you back to this past weeks episode of Redemption.


She motions at the titantron where footage of the John Morrison versus R-Truth match begins to play. We see R-Truth nail Morrison with the "Little Jimmy" then he rolls out of the ring suddenly, and he and Miz both grab chairs, Truth places his chair under Morrison's face, then as the referee begs them not to do it...Miz raises his chair up high and crushes John Morrison's skull with a devastating conchairto instantly causing the disqualification. The bell rings to signal John Morrison as the winner via disqualification as several referees rush to ringside in aid of him, before they can get into the ring R-Truth rushes to the ropes to scare them away, none of them even dare to try and enter as Truth stands above them all crazy eyed, back in the middle of the ring the official is arguing with The Miz who is getting visibly pissed off, he lifts the chair high into the air signaling another shot to John Morrison but when the ref wont stop pestering him The Miz snaps and cracks him across the skull instead! Following the referee being zoomed in on and visibily out cold, The Miz smirks which the footage concludes with.

Michael Cole: Well that's nice of Vickie telling us why it won't be John Morrison.

King: Are you sure that's what she's talking about?

Michael Cole: Well what else could it mean? Obviously The Miz is the only one that deserves this opportunity here tonight, so that's the only thing it could be.

JR: I wouldn't get your hopes up too high...

The cameras then switch back to Vickie who seems very upset by re-watching the footage.

Vickie Guerrero: Not only did The Miz stick his nose in a match that was not his, he physically assaulted an official for no reason! John Morrison thankfully was not injured despite having his skull crushed by a rapidly connecting chair shot. But sadly for referee James White, the result isn't as lucky...He's been diagnosed with an extreme concision, and has threatened to sue XWL due to such an assault. I always viewed The Miz as my go to guy, the man that could liven up any crowd, and take advantage of every opportunity presented to him. But after this...It will be a cold day in a hell before The Miz ever gets another championship match!


Michael Cole: WHAAAAAAT?!! That bitch can't do that!

JR: Language Cole...

Michael Cole: Screw that, this is an injustice! The Miz should be the one getting a title match tonight! Where the hell does Vickie Guerrero get off on doing this?!

King: I for one agree with Vickie, he's shown a different side of himself since forming R-Some with R-Truth, and quite frankly, he's brought it upon himself.


Vickie Guerrero: See, I could suspend The Miz, hell, I could even fire him!

She snaps her fingers quickly with a smirk.

Vickie Guerrero: Just like that! He'd be out of my hair for good, and Michael Cole...

She turns her head looking right at him.

Vickie Guerrero: if I hear you call me a bitch again, I'll make you mine. Do I make myself clear?

He hangs his head now not saying a word as she glares at him from the ring.

Vickie Guerrero: Now back to The Miz, firing him, suspending him, that's just too easy! What really will get at him, and obviously Cole over there...Is by him having the perfect opportunity to regain The United States Championship in front of his face...And not get it! So Miz, enjoy your free time tonight, make sure you pull up a chair as you watch everyone else compete tonight, and watch Kevin Steen, the guy that's beaten you two payperviews in a row, defend his United States Championship in a triple threat match...With Mr. Anderson....And....

She pauses for obvious dramatic effect.


Vickie Guerrero: John Cena!!!

The arena explodes with cheers as Cole's eyes bug out, he's absolutely silent while Vickie smiles.


King: Cat got your tongue, Cole?

JR: Wow, John Cena gets a United States Championship match tonight!

King: Talk about a huge opportunity, The Miz prevented John Cena from becoming United States Champion almost two months ago, and now he finally will get the rematch he never got!

JR: Business just picked up here! Vickie Guerrero with a shocking and exciting announcement, I can't wait for the United States title match now! Wow!

Vickie Guerrero: Before John Cena goes to hell with Cody Rhodes in a last man standing match much later tonight, he will get the opportunity that he truly deserves. The Miz played a role in Kevin Steen successfully retaining not long ago, and now he gets to watch as John Cena gets his title opportunity, and there's nothing he can do about it! Now that's how you punish someone! Suspension is highly overrated, on Redemption, I get them where it hurts...Miz, I hope you're proud of what you did on Redemption, because now, the real conspiracy...Is that fact that you screwed yourself out of a United States Championship match! Now I've got other business to attend to, so everybody, please enjoy the show. Mick Foley and I have organized a rather impressive lineup, and you won't to miss even a moment of this show. So from all of us at XWL, I wish you all a Happy Halloween, and you have my promise that we've got many tricks and treats for you all.

She smiles lowering her microphone then begins to walk over to the ropes to exit the ring.

JR: What an announcement from Vickie Guerrero!

King: I'll say, I've never seen Cole so silent!

JR: Well folks, we've obviously got a whole lot more coming up, but first we'd like to take you to an advertisement XWL superstar Randy Orton filmed last week!

As Vickie Guerrero walks up the ramp, the cameras fade out to said advertisement.

*The cameras cut to the backstage area where XWL diva Kaitlyn is shown. An off-screen interviewer begins to speak.*

[Interviewer] Kaitlyn, do you have a minute?

[Kaitlyn] Sure.

[Interviewer] Okay. Tonight is the biggest night in your XWL career, as you compete for the Divas Championship after going on an undefeated streak since August. During your meteoric rise to the top of the contender list, you've taken on and beaten some of the best and the worst the divas division has to offer, but tonight you will step into the ring with the champion, and your best friend AJ Lee. And not only that, but Natalya Neidhart is also involved in the match which is sure to spice things up. Do you have any thoughts or comments ahead of your match?



[Kaitlyn] You're right... tonight is the biggest night in my career. Tonight I have the opportunity to accomplish my dream of becoming Divas Champion. It would mean so much to me to hold that title, and I'd finally fulfill my promise to all of my family and friends back in Houston that I'd bring that title home someday. A lot of people have been criticizing me in recent weeks ever since the match was announced. They've been telling me "Kaitlyn you aren't ready!" "You're still a rookie in XWL!" "You're only getting a shot because you're AJ's friend!" or "Why are you getting a title shot and not this person?" But the fact is, I've more than earned my shot. Nobody has been more impressive than me as of late and I've even surprised myself by going on such a long undefeated run. Obviously this hasn't gone unnoticed and tonight I get the opportunity to add the exclamation point to this amazing chapter in my career.

[Interviewer] How do you feel about the possibility of taking the title away from your best friend AJ Lee? Will the title come between your friendship or cause any friction in the Chickbuster camp if you become champion tonight?


[Kaitlyn] Well, I don't think so. My friendship with AJ goes deeper than people think. We're like sisters from another mister. I can't see anything ever coming between us. We put on a united front a few weeks ago in a backstage interview with Matt Striker which in my eyes was 100% genuine. As long as one of us holds the title after tonight, I'll be happy. There'll always be another time for me to live my dream if I fail to capture the title. But if AJ is down and I have the opportunity to pin her for the title would I take it? In a heartbeat. I wouldn't hesitate at all, and I know she'd do the same. But it'll all be in the spirit of competition of course! The Chickbusters are going nowhere and we definitely won't be stabbing one another in the back!

[Interviewer] And what about Natalya? Do you have any prematch comments for her?


[Kaitlyn] As much as I respect Natalya as a competitor and her heritage, I think she has one heck of an attitude problem. She reminds me a lot of Beth Phoenix... they're both really good wrestlers on paper but they tarnish that by being major bitches to the rest of the divas and strut around with their manjaws in the air like they own the place. Natalya is supposed to be a "dominant diva" and so is Beth... but it's AJ and I who have set this division on fire in recent months, while the two of them have been losing left, right and center. Tonight will be another loss on Natalya's record as she gets her chick busted either by me or AJ.


[Kaitlyn] But I do think it'll be an amazing match and I'm really looking forward to it. There's a great mix of styles in all three of us. AJ has all her highflying moves, Natalya is probably the more technical out of us, and I'm more of a brawler slash powerhouse... that's right I just called myself a powerhouse! I'm pretty strong you know? Natalya is too, but I think I'll have the advantage there. There's also a nice blend of personalities with AJ being the hyper nerd, Natalya being the grumpy evil one, and me being the chilled out mustache enthusiast. I think we have all the ingredients in place for something special tonight.

[Interviewer] If you become Divas Champion tonight, will you be at all concerned by the winner of the first ever Divas Hell In A Cell cashing in the Miss Money In The Bank briefcase before the Pay-Per-View is over?

*Kaitlyn smirks.*



[Kaitlyn] Why would I be concerned? I've defeated Layla twice and I'd do it again anytime anyplace without breaking a sweat. And Mickie James has more than a few screws loose. She'll probably just lock the briefcase in a cage and call it evil or something so she wouldn't be able to cash it in, just like she did with the title in the past. Plus, add in the fact Layla and Mickie are going through a Hell In A Cell match which will no doubt shorten their careers and leave them in unthinkable pain... so I think if I win the title tonight I'll be pretty safe until at least tomorrow morning. *Kaitlyn laughs.* But if they did attack me tomorrow morning they'd regret it. I'd put them through more pain than Hell In A Cell because I'm definitely not a morning person!

[Interviewer] Thank you for your time Kaitlyn and good luck in your match tonight.

[Kaitlyn] Thanks!

*The cameras cut back to ringside as The Monster Bash continues.*

Normal Match


Randy Orton Vs Christian

---

Christian's theme song hits as the packed arena in Las Vegas surrounds with boo's towards Captain Charisma. Gold lights flash around the arena as he arrives.



Christian walks out onto the stage in his entrance gear, alone, no Mark Henry in sight.



He opens his arms, turns around and then slaps his chest and points to the fans as they continue to boo him.

Jim Ross- We've definitely seen a more confident side to Christian in the past few weeks, especially when he's gone after one of our more successful superstars, Randy Orton.

Jerry Lawler- I think he may have bitten off more than he can chew in all honestly, when Randy Orton goes into that zone there's no going back! He's the last person I'd want to annoy.

Michael Cole- Oh please, tonight Christian is going to cut the head off the viper. It's that simple!



Christian walks down the ramp taunting the fans, he even puts his hand around his waists and raises one finger in the air signalling how he wants his Intercontinental Title Match. He makes his way up the steps and points towards the crowd again as that enduces more boo's towards him, he nods and climbs into the ring. He climbs the turnbuckle and holds his head down for a few seconds.



And then he flips off his hood and sticks his head up and points to the crowd again as the loudest round of heat comes toward Christian.



He gets off the turnbuckle and unzips his jacket, he takes that off followed by the rest of his entrance attire. He stands alone in the ring. He begins to stretch, and then we hear the theme song of Randy Orton.



The arena turns to a dark red colour as Randy Orton slowly walks onto the stage to a very loud reception of cheers.



As usual he slowly makes his way down, and he has a slight smirk on his face as he notices that Christian is out here alone with no Mark Henry.



In a slow pace he walks down the ramp, slapping hands with a few fans but once he reaches the end of the ramp he stops and stares right at Christian with his cold eyes.



He then walks closer to the ring, with Christian staring at him too. He slightly turns around and does his signature pose for the fans on the outside, but all of a sudden he's blind sided by Christian hitting a baseball slide on Orton! The fans boo as Christian runs back into the ring and hides behind the referee, Orton runs into the ring but the referee tells him to get into his corner and wait for the bell. He gets each man to stand in a corner.



Jim Ross- What a cheap shot by Christian! I can't believe that, he ran right to the referee after that, despicable.

Michael Cole- A cheap shot? No, Jimmy! It's called being a smart competitor, Christian is a veteran and knows this ring like the back of his hand.

Jerry Lawler- You can see it. He's gotten into the head of Randy Orton, it's so clear!

The camera pans to Christian in his corner, he looks to be contemplating if the dropkick was a smart move.



But he then looks at Orton who is staring right at him in the other corner and grins.



The referee then rings the bell!

---

Ding Ding Ding!

The bell rings as the fans cheer with excitement, the match is underway. Orton and Christian walk straight to the center of the ring and stare at each other, they literally go head to head facing off. The fans are going nuts as Orton punches Christian in the head, Christian retaliates with a punch. Both men trade punches from the get go! Orton manages to get more punches to Christian in a row and tackles him down to the ground, he's frantic now as he punches him with both hands repeatedly. Christian shoves Orton off of him and when Orton gets to his feet he runs at Christian but he's caught with a nice looking spinning spinebuster. Christian stands up and beats his chest while shouting at Orton, he begins to stomp Orton in the chest. Orton tries to get up but as he's nearly up Christian grabs him by the arm and whips him into the corner, he chops Orton in the chest three times before sitting him up on the top rope. He slaps Orton across the face and gets up to the second rope, he pulls Orton to a standing position and manages to hit a huge Superplex early in the match!

Jim Ross- That move will take a lot out of both men, especially when it's hit this early in the match.

Christian covers Orton right away but it's only a one count, Orton springs to his feet and hits a dropkick that got good air time. Christian gets back to his feet and goes for a clothesline but Orton ducks it, he goes for a back suplex but Christian back flips over him and hooks him for a reverse DDT. But Orton changes the position by turning around and runs as he tackles Christian through the ropes, both men fall through the ropes and land awkwardly on the outside. Orton holds his back from the fall but wills himself to get up, he grabs Christian by the hair and Irish Whips him into the steel steps! Christian hits the steps knee's first and tumbles over them, Orton has a cold look in his eye as the stares at the corner barricade. He picks up Christian and throws him over, only to pull him back for a rope hung DDT onto the floor! Orton looks to the crowd for approval, they cheer loudly but as Orton goes to drop him Christian pulls himself back in and throws Orton over the barricade.

Jerry Lawler- Oh No! Orton landed right on the concrete, that's got to hurt..

Christian rolls into the ring and rolls back out quickly to break the referee's count, he walks over to where Orton was but Orton punches Christian. He stumbles back but Orton doesn't let up as he stands on the barricade and jumps off for an axe handle to Christian. He throws Christian back into the ring but once he gets on the apron Christian rakes him in the eye. Christian then pulls Orton between the ropes for a rope hung DDT?! And he nails it! The fans boo as Christian gets to his feet and mocks Orton's signature pose. Orton is on the ground holding his head, now Christian jumps down to his stomach and begins to pound the mat with his fists obviously mocking Orton again. He waits for Orton to get to his feet and when he does he hooks him for a Killswitch! Orton manages to fight out of it to hit a modified version of the Olympic Slam. Orton waits for Christian to get up and nails him with a short arm clothesline, he does it again once Christian got to his feet. Christian ran towards Orton for a clothesline but he ducked it and on the rebound he hit a snap powerslam! The fans are behind Orton now as he puts his hands on his head then spins around onto his stomach and begins to pound the mat waiting for Christian...



Michael Cole- Oh my! Business is picking up! Here comes one of the most dominant superstars in recent memory, my main man Mark!

But suddenly the theme song of Mark Henry hits!! The fans excitement changes to hatred in an instant as Henry makes his way onto the stage. Orton stops in his tracks and looks towards the stage, Henry just stands on the stage with his arms folded and stares at Orton. Orton is at the ropes now begging for Henry to come down to the ring, Christian sneaks up behind him and rolls him up quickly though! The referee rushes over to them and counts but Orton kicks out in the knick of time right before three. Orton struggles to his feet only to be met with a spear out of nowhere by Christian! The referee counts when Christian covers yet again but to no avail, another two count. Christian pulls at his hair and shouts at the referee “That was three!!” Orton turns Christian around and hits him with a stiff uppercut, Christian retaliates with an uppercut in return. Orton then hits Christian with another uppercut, Christian mule kicks Orton in the stomach then quickly jumps to the middle rope then hits him with the Flashpoint! Christian climbs back up to the top rope and waits for Orton to get back up and he dives off for a cross body but Orton ducks it causing Christian to land badly on his side.

Jim Ross- An unprotected fall like that will do all kinds of damage to you.

Jerry Lawler- You can definitely feel the hatred between these two, I love it!

Jim Ross- Mark Henry seems to be playing quite the distraction for Orton also.

Michael Cole- How is he a distraction? He's just standing there getting a better view of the match, stop playing favourites for once in your life!

Orton takes a quick glance at Henry to make sure that he keeps his distance, Christian gets to his feet and begins to punch Orton. Orton and Christian begin to trade fists yet again with neither man backing down this time.

Jim Ross- Good lord they're going at it like a bunch of goverment mules!

Jerry Lawler- The fans are going crazy!

The fans are cheering “Boo!” everytime Christian punches and “Yaaay!” everytime Orton punches, after a few more punches Orton and Christian simultaneously hit each other as they both stagger back. But once they gain their composure they run towards each other and clothesline each other! Both men are exhausted and down on the mat as the referee begins to count, and at this point Mark Henry begins to walk down to ringside slowly.

1!

2!

3!

4!

5!

6!

7!

8!

9!

Orton struggles to his feet with help of the ropes breaking the ten count, he looks exhausted as he walks over to Christian. He picks Christian up but he was playing possum as he quickly grabs Orton by the head and springs off the ropes and spikes him with a Tornado DDT! Mark Henry is standing by the steps motivating Christian who gets onto the apron and scales the turnbuckle, he stands on the very top rope and pauses for a moment. He puts his hand to his forehead and looks out to the crowd and then dives off the top rope for a headbutt. But out of nowhere as Christian comes down to hit the move, RKO!! Orton quickly springs up and RKO's Christian as he was coming down from the headbutt, the fans go absolutely mental with cheers!!!

Michael Cole- VINTAGE RANDY ORTON!

Jim Ross- GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!

Jerry Lawler- HE HIT IT!! COVER!

Henry is in disbelief on the outside, so is everyone else in attendance. Orton crawls over to Christian and lays a single arm over him. The fans count along with the referee..

1!

2!!

Mark Henry quickly drags Christian's leg under the rope, Henry shouts at the referee to look and once he does he stops the count and shouts “Two Count!” The fans boo as Orton notices Christian's foot and then stares at Henry, Orton quickly rolls out of the ring and begins to punch Henry in the head repeatedly. After nearly ten punches with the fans rallying behind him, Henry is dazed against the ring steps. The referee gets out of the ring and tries to order Orton to get back into the ring but Henry pushes the referee into Orton knocking them both down, Henry stomps Orton then throws him in the ring. Henry climbs over the ropes and gets in, Orton is in the corner, Henry walks towards Orton and clubs him in the ribs with numerous punches. Christian is seen sitting in the corner in pain as Henry does the work. Orton tries to push Henry away but to no avail, Henry keeps on mauling Orton but Orton gets to his knee's and low blows Henry!! The fans cheer as the big man falls to his knee's, blood comes out of Orton's mouth now from internal bleeding from Henry's punches to his ribs. Orton stands still and notices Henry who is down on his knee's in the corner of the ring..



Michael Cole- Oh no.. NO! NO! GET OUT OF THERE MARK!

Suddenly a sinister smirk comes across the face of Orton, the fans know what's coming. Orton begins to breathe heavily as he backs up to the corner, he psyches himself up and sprints towards Mark Henry for a punt kick. But he's cut off mid run by Christian with another spear! Henry rolls out of the ring, Christian hooks the leg of Orton but there's no referee. Another referee is seen sprinting down to ringside, he slides into the ring and counts.

1!

2!!

Kickout!!

Michael Cole- What!?!?

Orton manages to get the shoulder up as the fans go crazy! Christian also seems to be going crazy now as he shoves the referee down and exits the ring, he pushes the timekeeper off his chair and takes it. He goes into the ring with the chair, the referee pleads with Christian not to use it but as he has it up in the air to swing Orton punches him in the ribs causing him to drop it! Orton takes the chair and wildly swings for Christian, but Christian ducks it and the chair flies out of Orton's hands from the force of the swing. Christian rolls out of the ring and begins to run up the ramp, it's more of a jog due to how tired he is but Orton follows him and sprints down the ramp stopping him with a clothesline. All while this is happening the referee is counting as both men are outside, Orton and Christian punch each other as they brawl down the ramp. The referee is at a count of 8 now, Orton punches Christian causing him to fall to a knee. 9! Orton tries to get into the ring but Christian holds on to his leg.

10!

The referee calls for the bell.

Justin Roberts- Ladies and Gentlemen, on the account of a double countout. This match ends in a draw!

---

Michael Cole- This is a conspiracy! Christian was robbed, restart the match! One more match! One more match! One mor-

Jim Ross- Would you shut up?

The fans boo at this announcement, Orton and Christian are back up now and brawling. But Mark Henry is back to his feet now as he clubs Orton from behind, he grabs him in the bearhug position and runs him into the ring post. Henry merely throws Orton back in the ring as Christian grabs two chairs from under the ring, the referee tries to stop Henry but Henry grabs the referee and nails him with the Worlds Strongest Slam!

Jerry Lawler- Oh for crying out loud! The referee didn't deserve that!

Jim Ross- Mark Henry is a very dangerous man.

Michael Cole- Woo Woo Woo, You Know It JR! The referee was taught a lesson, rightfully so!

Henry then picks up Orton and drops him with a Worlds Strongest Slam as well, Orton looks badly hurt on the mat.



Christian passes in a chair to Henry, as Orton is laying on his back. Henry places the chair under Orton's head, Orton is barely moving as Christian approaches him with a steel chair. Christian stands tall above Orton as he sets up for the conchairto, but right before he does.



Christian spits right in the face of Orton, a disgusting act. Christian stares at the camera and says “ALANNA, SAY HI TO YOUR DADDY!” He raises the chair above his head.. But!



Jerry Lawler- Well Well Well! Now it looks like business is going to pick up!

Jim Ross- Thank god! Here comes the cavalry!

Michael Cole- Oh please, Mark Henry will sort him out.

Suddenly the theme song of “The Animal” Batista hits! The fans give a huge pop for him, Henry and Christian don't have much time to react as Batista darts through the curtain and runs straight to the ring! Christian turns his attentions to Batista, the second Batista gets into the ring Christian tries to hit him with the chair but he doesn't get a chance as Batista spears the living hell out of Christian! Batista turns around and walks into Henry, both of the big men stare down as the fans are excited. They begin to trade blows until Batista gets the upper hand, Batista whips Henry off the ropes but Henry comes back with a big shoulder tackle that brings down Batista. He tries to get up and shake it off, and then out of nowhere Randy Orton is back up with the chair! He swings it at Henry hitting him right in the back, and then he hits him two more times in the back then once in the stomach! Henry stumbles across to Batista, Christian stumbles to his feet and Batista drills Henry with a giant Spinebuster while Orton hits Christian with an RKO at the same time! Henry and Christian are down, the fans are cheering as Orton's theme song hits.



Batista is on the top rope posing for the fans, and as he jumps down Randy Orton is standing right behind him. He turns around as they both stare down for a few seconds until Orton slowly extends his hand, Batista accepts it and then Orton raises Batista's hand and points at him. Batista tells him to go to one turnbuckle as he goes to the other, Randy Orton does his signature pose on one side of the ring as Batista poses for the fans on the turnbuckle on the other side. This is the last sight we see until we head off to a video package for “November To Remember” featuring the featured superstar of the Pay-Per-View, The Intercontinental Champion; Wade Barrett.

*As The Monster Bash continues the camera fades out to footage of earlier in the day where John Cena is shown signing autographs to fans.*





*As the camera fades back from that brief break the cameras go backstage to where is shown the man scheduled to face Cody Rhodes in a last man standing match….John Cena!*



Josh Matthews
Hello ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time….John Cena!

*A loud pop from the crowd is heard as Cena’s name is mentioned.*

John Cena
Hey man whats up?

Josh Matthews
Nothing much, just doing my job and enjoying the pay per view, yourself?



John Cena
Yeah like always it’s a fresh week and it is also the final time we get to see Cody Rhodes in an XWL ring. Because after this match myself and Mick, yes I still haven’t forgotten Mick. Yes myself and Mick are going to go down to that ring and throw Cody out of the arena! What do you think about the match tonight Josh?

Josh Matthews
Well John it is going to be hard but I have to admit I am hoping for you to win and get rid of Cody for good.

John Cena
Hey Josh I’m glad you see it my way, do you wanna help kick him out of the arena? But enough about that I’m sure there were some questions you wanted to ask me or you wouldn’t have wanted this interview, so fire away man!



Josh Matthews
Well firstly I would like to ask you about this huge announcement which has just being made by our general manager Vickie. You will now be in two matches tonight, and one could mean you walking out of here tonight with the united states title, what are your feelings towards this decision?



John Cena
How am I feeling? I’m great Josh! Finally after years and years of failed diet plans Vickie has moved on and had a great idea! She is giving me a match against Mr Anderson and Kevin Steen, now me and Kev we’ve been in the ring before and it didn’t go so well for me, it left me with a few bruised ribs and that was because of The Miz, but tonight I’m not sure if Miz is even here so tonight I’m ready to bring it to the champ. But let me just talk about Kevin Steen for a short moment, the guy is a vicious SOB who isn’t afraid to beat up somebodys wife to get what he wants. He also likes to eat as much food as he can, I mean have you seen the size of him? Now I’m sure he’s eaten a lot of food in his time but after tonight, he is going to be eating my fruity pepples!

*Josh looks at Cena with little smirk on his face as the crowd are heard laughing*

John Cena
Guys, I’m trying to keep it PG for some of the younger viewers, c’mon I’m doing the best I can….
But moving on from that, Now Mr Anderson, well he’s a little something else… The guy likes to call himself an asshole and everything he does is because he’s an asshole. I’ve never stepped in the ring with the guy but I can tell he’s got a lot of charisma about him, well Mr. Anderson let me tell you this, tonight you are not walking out the united states champion. Like Vickie said, this chance was taken away from me the first time and I would hate to have it thrown away again so that is why the CHAMP is coming for that title!

Josh Matthews
Now moving on can I get your thoughts over last week where Cody, R Truth and yourself were involved in a brawl and it all ended with Cody leaving you out for a whole 10 count…



John Cena
Last week what we saw was that Cody Rhodes means business and he showed that he has the potential to win the match tonight and it can be over in the blink of an eye. I was on the announce table, Cody was down, I set him up for the Attitude Adjustment and all of a sudden the next thing I know my head is flying straight into the ring bell and from there it’s all a bit of a blur, it took me a good few minutes to come around from a heavy hit like that so I mean a 10 count really does just come and go so I need to be on my game. Now two weeks ago I forgot to mention I when we was in England me and Ricky did have boxing workout and I mean I just did one by myself in the gym earlier before I went out and I don’t know if everyone saw but I was doing a little bit of filming signing a couple of autographs, just trying to give back to the fans like they give to me every week.



Josh Matthews
Erm John I believe that we showed footage from that autograph signing right before we began conducting this interview so yeah everyone will know what you are on about, and erm moving on to tonight, are you ready to face Cody? Are you nervous? What is going through your mind right now…



John Cena
Whats going through my mind right now? Well for one I’m wondering why the hell someone hasn’t given you a breathmint jeez Josh what have you been doing that’s worse that my Aunt Bessie’s false teeth! Nahh I’m only joking man. Cody Rhodes, a man who’s got it all to play for tonight. If he wins, he has a contract back to XWL and if he loses well then he’s not going to be seen here for a long time after that and I for one will be glad to move on from this little thing between the two of us. As far as I am concerned this ends tonight, one way or another we are going to both leave everything we have in that ring and only one of us is going to be standing when it’s all said and done. We are going to tear it up all over the arena and give these fans the best match they could have asked for. Now one problem with Cody is that when he has an issue with somebody he likes to attack them from behind and take the cowards way out, but when I have an issue with somebody I rise against the hate and sort out all my problems in that ring. Speaking of problems…earlier tonight Kurt Angle had a few words to say to me calling me a phoney and even saying he’d break my ankle, well Kurt I’m just going to keep this short but if your insults are anything like that cheap hair growth crap then I don’t think you are going to be a problem of mine anytime soon, but you know what I say Kurt, if you want some…..come get some!



John Cena
Now moving on from Kurt and his cheap hair growth, earlier today I was reading quite a lot of tweets which were pretty positive, most people were wanting me to whip Cody’s ass all over this arena tonight and even offered up a few areas, I think my favourite suggestion I got was something like AA him into one of the toilets backstage and I have to admit that would be pretty awesome so that’s a little shout out to the guy who came up with that idea, I may have to use it we’ll just have to see. But as much as people have been supporting me there is a few people who want Cody to win, who are a fan of the bad guys and ya’know what that is fine, there is always going to be that one I hate Cena guy at any arena I go too and sometimes I even hug the dude just to see what he’ll do to make a joke out of it.



John Cena
And yeah I know that there are some fans out there who think I’m too PG sucking up to the little children and you know what that’s perfectly fine. I am not going to go out to try to please every fan by not being who I am or not using the so called 5 moves of doom. The fact is and don’t get me wrong in my earlier days I did think about why some people didn’t like me but it was just a phase but do you want to know what got me though that phase, the make a wish foundation. I have made so many terminally ill kids wishes come true and to see them wearing my shirt and AA’ing another kid really just brings a smile to my face, I was kidding about AA’ing another kid thing though. But seriously that is why I could never turn my back on these fans like a lot of people, Cody included have done. Those kids look up to me and they really are true hero’s... Now josh I know I say this pretty much every time we have one of these interviews but I really have to dash, I’m trying out one of Ricky Hatton’s training regimes before a match and its just about time to go do some squat thrusts, see ya!

*Cena rushes off out of the interview room as a camera follows him out onto the corridor. As he is walking down Dolph Ziggler is shown walking down the corridor in the opposite way, he stops Cena in the hallway and extends his hand out.*



Dolph Ziggler
Hey I’m-

John Cena
Wait I….I know who you are! You’re Briley pierce!

*Dolph shakes his head and looks to be about to speak before getting cut off by John again*

John Cena
Wait wait wait, don’t go giving me clues here, I know this… I got it! You’re Alex Riley!

*Dolph begins to look a bit annoyed before again getting cut off by Cena*

Dolph Ziggler
No, I’m Dol—

John Cena
I gotta’ rush off, nice talking to ya’ Dol.

*Cena is shown walking away as Dolph looks around pretty angrily as he mutters something to himself…*

Dolph Ziggler
My name is Dolph Ziggler…

*The camera fades out on Dolph as we go to a short video package for John Cena’s opponent later tonight….Cody Rhodes!*

[Bryan]: You know, ever since coming to this company, I thought everything was going to be a whole lot better for Bryan Danielson. I figured since that this is the company to be in, that everything can just keep getting better right? Bryan Danielson will be able to perform on the top level and finally get his shot to be in the spotlight right? Well I was wrong, ever since coming here not a damn thing has went the way it was supposed to, there has always been something that has held me back. Whether that be due to my in ring performance or just being blatantly over-looked, there is always something and I am becoming sick and tired with them. Every little thing that just seems to hinder any chance of progress, any chance of me being the Champion that I know I can be.



[Bryan]: It’s the same thing week in and week out, whenever I think I have the chance to move on. Something grabs a hold of me and pulls me all the way back down to the bottom of the pack. The latest of these annoyances, put a mark on what was supposed to be my return to form, what was supposed to be a new start for Bryan Danielson. But instead, I had that all taken away from me at the very last second. That new little annoyance of mine, that little thing that is stopping any chance of me moving up the ranks is you, Davey Richards. You Davey, stole my moment. You stole my spotlight and I personally feel insulted. I understand you were trying to prove yourself, but in doing so you have pissed off “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson.



[Bryan]: I don’t take too kindly to anything but winning, I am the best and I expect myself to get the best results each and every time I step into that ring. But you had to ruin that for me didn’t you Davey? I will give credit where credit is due; you took me to the limit in our first encounter. We went to hell and back in that match and for what? A draw? I don’t think so, I will be DAMNED if my fresh start, will be forever tainted with a draw. I know that I am better than that and I intend to prove that I am better than that. All of the XWL fans want to find out who the better Wrestler is and you can be damn sure that I want to prove who the better wrestler is.



[Bryan]: That is why I am overcome with joy about our rematch being Falls Count Anywhere. That means there will be no disqualifications and more importantly; no count outs. That means we can take this match wherever we like, we can fight on the stage, fight in the crowd, we could even fight outside if we chose to. We can do whatever we like and that is exactly what I plan on doing. You want to step into that ring Davey, you better be prepared to take a whole lot of punishment, because I am going to show you what I found out the hard way. That this company, is a whole different ball game from the Independent Circuit.



[Bryan]: I know I have this reputation of being a nice guy and all of this sounds very out of character for me. But in this business it’s not always about being the nice guy, it’s about going out to that ring and making a name for yourself and I just haven’t been doing that lately. But that all changes tonight. Out with the new, in with the old so to speak. Davey Richards, you can expect to facing the Bryan Danielson of old tonight, as I intend to start making a name for myself, I intend to start making my way up the ranks, I intend to one day become a Champion in this company and all of that starts tonight… When I kick your head in and prove why I am the Best Wrestler in The World today! Bryan Danielson’s “Hunt” for Championship gold is beginning, but you can consider Davey Richard’s “Hunt”…. Well and truly over…

[Jim Ross] Ladies and gentlemen, I'm getting word from the back that Chris Jericho will be hosting another edition of his Highlight Reel talk show right here tonight during The Monster Bash!

[Michael Cole] How come you're getting fed the news about this and I'm not? I'm "The Voice Of XWL" DAMNIT! Not you! You're just fat and annoying!

[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Shut your piehole Cole! Well that's some interesting news JR. Especially as it'll take place shortly before the huge #1 contenders match tonight. I can't wait!

*The following graphic is displayed onscreen before The Monster Bash continues...*

*As The Monster Bash continues Todd Grisham is stood by backstage*



[[[[Todd Grisham: ]]]Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight at Vengeance two former best friends, now the best of enemies The Game Triple H and The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels will battle it out in a No Disqualification Match. To know how this rivallary was renewed you have to go three weeks back, when Shawn Michaels approached Triple H asking him to reform the legendary group D-Generation X, and after a week of deliberation, just moments before Redemption went on the air Triple H gave Shawn the answer he was hoping for, that he was in, and thus the scene was set for later on that night. The reunion of DX, but unfortunately for Michaels it was all a rogue, as when it appeared that D-Generation X were officially back together, Triple H delivered a pedigree to Shawn Michaels swiftly ending the group. Then last week after a truly amazing match-up between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho, Michaels was left lifeless in the ring and in a calculated attack, Triple H took advantage of the situation, after beating Michaels down further and hitting the Heartbreak Kid with yet another Pedigree, he told Shawn and the entire world what would take place later on tonight, declaring that tonight will be the last of Shawn's overrated career, before landing the final blow in the form of a sledgehammer to the back.

*The crowd boo at the in-depth description of Triple H's cowardly actions*

[[[[Todd Grisham: ]]]And now I hear from one of those men in that match, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!

*As Shawn enters the camera shot the crowd's boos quickly turn into cheers for the Heartbreak Kid*

[[[[Todd Grisham: ]]]Now Shawn how does it feel to know that your former best friend is aiming to end your career?

*Shawn quickly grabs Todd by the suit jacket, clearly still irate at what happened to him last week, replies with his voiced raised clearly fired up for tonight*



[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]How does it feel, Todd? How do you think it feels to do betrayed by your best friend in the entire world. Triple H has seen the very best and the very worst of me, now he may think the the very best of me is far and gone, but tonight I'm to do my VERY best to do the VERY worst to him, just like he did to me last week I can do that and much more, and what he doesn't realise is that what he's facing tonight is a a man who he's attacked twice, but I'm still standing. He might think he has me all figured out, that I'm hurting right now, and that I'll be easy picking tonight, that the result of this match is already a given.

*Shawn lets Todd go, then lifting his hand clenching his fist seemingly doing everything he can do to hold himself back, clearly fired up for him match tonight*



[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]But tonight's not a match is it? It's a fight, and you know what they say it's not the size of the man in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the man, and I've got a big fight left in me more then ever before, I hoped it wouldn't come to this Hunter, but if he's going to put my livihood in danger then I have no problem doing the exact same to his. Because if he ends my career tonight, then he'll have to make sure there's not a single breath in my body and my heart stops ticking, because as long as I'm still breathing and my hearts still beating, I'll be going out in a BLAZE OF GLORY, and if Triple H wants to put me through hell then I'm taking him with me.

[[[[Todd Grisham: ]]]But after last week on Redemption, aren't you concerned that you might not be at 100 percent?

*Shawn grabs Todd again pulling him up close, yelling at him*



[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]Let me tell you something Todd, 100% or not, it doesn't matter, because when it comes down to Shawn Michaels and Triple H, when I found him, he wasn't fit to hold my jock, by my side I watched him grow into the man he is today, and sure he was always there for me when I needed him and he showed great potential, but he always lived in my shadow, and it wasn't until I was forced to retire in 98 that he was ever able to achieve something in this business, and I know deep down, and it eats him up each and everyday, because he knows that he never was and can never be The Icon, The Showstopper, The Mainevent, because there's only one and that's all there ever will be, and that's The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!

[[[[Todd Grisham: ]]]Yes, but Shawn, Triple H has made a career systematically picking people apart on the slightest sign of any weakness, and if any man knows any of your weaknesses then it's Triple H. Don't you feel that tips the odds hugely in Triple H's favour?

*Shawn pushes Todd away again, before responding more calmly*



[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]Listen here Todd, I've made a career of defying the odds, the HB kid won't lie down for anybody, and is a doormat for absolutely nobody. Not Triple H, not anybody. Sure Hunter might be tough, but I was doing this stuff long before he was, and I've been doing it better then he has ever since, because I am quite simply the greatest sports entertainer alive today!

[[[[Todd Grisham: ]]]Now you two obviously have a long history, do you feel any reluctance to go one and one with your best friend with absolutely no rules?

*Shawn pauses for a moment before grabbing him then pushing him to the side of the interview area*



[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]First of all Todd, that man is not my best friend anymore, and secondly it doesn't matter if there were rules, because we WILL break them, and since there are no rules I'll just have to break something else. He's tried to do the same to me. He drove a sledgehammer into my back last week, what's stopped me doing that same thing to him. I'll do things to him he never imagined, I'll beat him down until he doesn't want to fight anymore, I'll make him a broken man, and when it's all over I'll break his jaw with a little bit of Sweet...Chin...Music!

*Shawn pushes Todd Grisham away from him, and quickly taking a step back, and kicking Todd in-between the eyes, sending him flying out of shot, then Shawn walks up to the camera starring directly down the lens*



[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]Hunter, I know you thought I was just a shell of what I used to be, and maybe some other people thought that too. That I wasn't the Icon, the Showstopper, the Mainevent anymore, that I'm a changed man unrecognisable to the one you spent year after year travelling down those long roads town to town, arena to arena, but tonight is the night I proved to you and the entire world that the Heartbreak Kid is still alive and well, as good as I ever was, and mark my words Hunter, tonight's not about stopping any shows, it's about making sure you know I never was over the hill, that I'm as tough as I ever was, and exactly why I was the main attraction and you were just my lowly sidekick. And if you're not down with that, then I've got two words for ya!

*The crowd shout "Suck It!"*

[[[[Shawn Michaels: ]]]Game over!

*As Shawn finishes speaking he continues to stare into the camera, then after a few seconds the camera fades out to a video hyping up the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk*

*As a video package featuring CM Punk comes to a close, we return to The Monster's Bash where Breakdown Superstar, Curt Hawkins, is seen standing in the ring. Hawkins raises the mic and begins to speak.*



[[Curt Hawkins]]
It seems like a long time but it was only two weeks ago that I debuted on the show full of controversy. A show full of "Conspiracy" and "injustice" according to some fellow superstars. But as of right now, I'm in the middle of it. I don't hate Mick Foley but on the other hand, I don't like Mick Foley but from the things I've seen and heard as of lately. It looks like I'm not going to like Mick Foley at all. From what I've seen he likes to favor superstars like The Rock because he's friends with him. Maybe I should become friends with Mick Foley just so I can become World Heavyweight Champion faster then any other superstar in XWL History... Or I could be like the other superstars who love complaining about Mick because of the choices he makes. I've only had two matches so like I said, I'm in the middle of it now.



[[Curt Hawkins]]
But for now, I'll just continue being "Mr. 2-0" Curt Hawkins. Next week, I'll change that too "Mr. 3-0" Curt Hawkins. Then the next week I'll be "Mr. 4-0" Curt Hawkins and so on... and so on... I will praise the superstar who would finally defeat me because it will be a hard task because I am the perfect wrestler. I can lift up superstars like John Cena could and I could dive off the top rope with as much grace as Shawn Michaels. I have it all... I have the "It" Factor, which not many other superstars have. Which means, I will be the future of XWL...



[[Curt Hawkins]]
I will be a champion... I will be the Intercontinental Champion soon enough and if this means I have to defeat the likes of Kurt Angle, Wade Barrett, Christian and Randy Orton. I will defeat them because I can. I will come out here and say whatever I want because I can. I will do anything I want and Mick Foley won''t stop me... because I CAN!

*Hawkins drops the mic and stares into the camera. He lets out one last cocky smirk before the camera fades to black and a Video Package featuring Batista begins to play*



(First Promo as Hawkins, I felt I did good )

**Monster Bash action is put on hold for just a few minutes as we go backstage in what appears to be an empty room. The camera zooms around the room looking for someone when suddenly Kevin Steen pops up from behind a scene scaring the cameraman. Steen starts laughing, but then looks all serious in front of the camera he begins to talk.**



Kevin Steen: Damn that brought back memories of my early days in XWL, I remember I did something like that which resulted me piledriving the cameraman on the concrete, but don't worry I ain't going to do that today, I don't wanna copy something I already did. But the reason I brought this up is because I am starting to think a lot these days, I mean I have been here awhile now and I have done alot of stuff in this place. I have caused havoc, I have hurt people, I have ate alot, I have took family hostage, I even ended a man's career. Well for like 5 minutes because well XWL couldn't do without his "services" and he had to come strolling back but on Breakdown. So anyway what I am getting to is I think I have calmed a little, maybe a bit too much. I went through that stuff with Miz and I did the usual kick his ass crap but he's the one who threw me off a fucking bridge. That is something I should of done. So I think to myself is it time I start causing shit again, fucking shit up. But then I thought real hard and came to a conclusion. I am fucking shit up, I am causing shit here in XWL because I am the UNITED STATES CHAMPION!!! I am a champion of the company that despise me, If Vickie had her way, I would be out on my ass and losing weight due to hunger. XWL management know 1 thing and its like I said before, they can't get rid of Kevin Steen because I am a hot commodity at the moment, I am making these fucktards tune in each, making these fucktards buy tickets to see what I am going to do next.



Kevin Steen: Basically XWL have to deal with me, maybe if I didn't have this championship they might think I could be pushed out but with or without this belt I will always be this fat motherfucking asshole. That's where I get to "one" of my opponents tonight. The self-proclaimed asshole, the one who names his fans the assholes. Well Kenny Boy, what have you done here in XWL?? what gives you the right to try and take this championship off me??Ken I offered for you to meet me out in the parking lot on this past week on Redemption but you baled or just plain forgot. I don't care, tonight I will show you that you are messing with a REAL asshole, your dealing with someone who will fuck your shit up. So MISTER AAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDEEEEERRRRSOOOONNNN!!! Meet MISTER STTTTEEEEEENNNNNNNN.



Kevin Steen: Wow that was a big finale, but well it wasn't because I think I better talk about that little announcement before I head off to get ready. Vickie, I know why you really made that announcement, I know the real reason behind it. Ever since I won this championship you hate it, because you hate me. You know that Mr Anderson can't take this title off me, you know that I will just whoop his ass collect my title and get my ass to catering. I know why you didn't pick Mikey, not because he going out there and trying to do the same thing as me. Miz are you jealous really?SO they pick Mr America, Mr Rainbow, Mr 5 Knuckle Shuffler, the poster child, hustle, loyalty, respect rise above hate, sorry I am going on Mr John Cena. Johnny two words..............FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!



**Steen gets up and runs up to the camera and then stops laughing at the camera before he licks the camera and walks off towards the door, as he opens the door, El Generico is standing there with a plate of food which seems to be a burger. Steen grabs the burger and shoves it in his mouth and with a mumble "Thanks Fucker" and pats Generico on the head like a little child. El Generico shakes his head and drops the plate, he then runs up to the camera and shouts "OLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"**

[As XWL returns from a commercial break, the camera scans over the hyped up PPV crowd who are still buzzing over what just occurred before the commercial break. There’s then a cut to the three man announce team of Michael Cole, Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.]

{JR}
And we’re back ladies and gentleman to a pay per view that has started out better than we could have ever imagined, and it’ll only improve from here on out!

{Cole}
So you call John Cena getting handed a United States title opportunity ahead of several other much more worthy competitors, ‘starting out better?’ I think that’s a load of crap, because with The Miz out of the title picture, the prestige he once brought to the United States Championship will be lost!

{King}
How does it smell when you have your head that far up your ass?

{Cole}
Everything I state is true facts, you’re just too old to accept that superstars like Miz are the future of the business.

{JR}
If someone like Miz, is the future of wrestling, I’m glad I got to enjoy the good ol’ days while they lasted.

{King}
Don’t pay Cole any mind, JR, he’s probably just upset because he hasn’t gotten his weekly dose of Chavo.

{Cole}
Who wouldn’t be upset about paying money to go to a show Chavo won’t be a part of? I’ve been browsing the XWL forums and look what I came across:



{Cole}
Clearly, I’m not the only one missing Chavo, he has a fan base and ratings are certainly going to be affected as the fans show just how angry they are.

{JR}
Well, it was Chavo’s own anger that he showed as Redemption went off the air that put him in the predicament he’s in now. And we have that exclusive footage for you thanks to XWL.com.

[A video begins to play on the titantron, and the camera zooms in on it letting the video take up the entire screen. A man is seen walking down a corridor with a piece of paper clutched tightly in his right hand. From behind this man does appear to be Chavo Guerrero, and when he finally turns to open a door, his identity is confirmed and the crowd boos at the sight of him. The door opens and Chavo steps inside and at the same time angrily throws the paper which takes its time to float the ground. The cameraman zooms in on the paper and the words Monster Bash Match List can be made out. So, is Chavo upset over being left off the card? Chavo walks over to a mirror perched on the wall and after a moment of intense staring he begins talking to his reflection.]



{Chavo}
You think that was good enough? You think a single lone win against a shell of Austin Aires would put you where you need to be? Well look where it got you, a night off during the pay per view. ¿Que pasa Chavo? What happened to you? You were on your way to the top, you won money in the bank, you were so close to that World Championship before you got scared at let Swagger take it away from you. You let him take away your future, you let him take away the one thing you’ve ever wanted. How could you talk such a big game and then be scared of success?

[Chavo says the next part in almost a whisper as everything he’s been keeping in begin to seep out.]

{Chavo}
What are you afraid of, Chavo? Is it not living up to the Guerrero legacy? That doesn’t mean you should be throwing your career away. You only have some many years left to defend your honor. What are you waiting for?

[Chavo presses his palm against the wall to keep himself upright, then he looks down at the ground with his heavy breathing filling the void in the room. His breathing becomes more rugged and louder and as Chavo clenches his teeth a vein in his head begins throbbing. Suddenly, his neck snaps back up and he’s nearly foaming at the mouth as he starts yelling.]

{Chavo}
LOOK AT YOURSELF! LOOK AT THE FAILURE YOU’VE BECOME! YOU’RE NOTHING CHAVO, AND YOU MADE IT THIS WAY! YOU COULD’VE BEEN INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION, BUT YOU QUIT! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN WORLD CHAMPION BUT YOU QUIT!

[Chavo’s voice drops down several octaves and returns to a deadly calm, though he’s still breathing heavily and it almost sounds as if he’s panting.]

{Chavo}
You quit… and as you inch closer towards the US Title, what will make this time any different? What makes you think that when it’s time to face Steen, or Anderson or Cena that you won’t run instead of fighting it out?

[There’s a low chuckle that turns into full out laughter that eventually ends without warning.]

{Chavo}
So how much longer do you have? How many weeks until you leave this company again when you choke on the pressure of success? iNo te mereces ser campeón!

[As he belts out the Spanish, Chavo punches the mirror which shatters on impact and some pieces of glass drop to the ground. He stares at his right hand with the pieces of glass sticking out of it and winces as he slowly opens as closes his fist. ]



{Chavo}
That pain? Let it remind you that you’re still human. That means that time’s not on your side.

[Chavo turns to leave the locker room when he bumps into none other than:]



{Foley}
Am I so glad that I ran into you! I came all the way from Breakdown just to tell you this news face to face, and boy would it have sucked if you already left.

[Chavo gives Foley a curious glance, though he must have a feeling that whatever it is that Foley is about to be say won’t be something he’ll like.]

{Chavo}
What do you want, Foley?

{Foley}
Well, that replay you showed that had me announcing the beginning of Breakdown because you attacked some fans got me thinking. You do have some unresolved anger and people issues, and even though we have loosened up the rules, I don’t want superstars to think it’s okay to attack the fans as they please. And judging by the way you went after that mirror, you still have some problems to sort out. But that’s okay! Because I’m here for you.

{Chavo}
What are you getting at?

{Foley}
Chavo, I’ve signed you up for some extracurricular activities that I hope will help you get over your problems with people. Maybe when you come back you and the fans will be on the same page.

{Chavo}
You think I give a damn about what the people think? And do you think I’m going to do some community service just so you can look like a competent general manager? You can forget it.

{Foley}
I ran this by Vickie and she loved the idea, which means this assignment is mandatory. Well it is if you value your job. And you start this Sunday.

{Chavo}
But that’s the pay per view!

{Foley}
And now you have something to do that night. Have a nice day!

[Foley walks away and leaves Chavo standing there. The screen fades to black as Chavo starts to pick some of the glass out of his hand.]

---

{Cole}
What!? Thry have one of the best superstars on the roster doing community service? This is an injustice!

{King}
Ha! Serves him right, I can’t wait to see how this plays out.

---

[The screen then cuts to the XWL merch store where people are seen walking around casually browsing. Just then Mick Foley appears on screen and there’s a pop from the crowd. He’s checking his watch and casually whistling a tune apparently waiting for someone to show up. Finally Chavo walks over to him, and Foley struggles to keep a straight face.]



{Chavo}
This isn’t funny, Foley. I should be out there wrestling not catering to these people.

{Foley}
I dunno Chavo, maybe if you spend a day with them, you’ll see them in a different light.

[Chavo looks to his right to see a man writing something down on a notepad.]



{Chavo}
Who’s that guy?

{Foley}
Don’t worry about him, he’s just here to make sure you do a decent job.



{Chavo}
The hell is he writing down?

{Foley}
I dunno, maybe he didn’t like the way you were looking at him. Anyway, got a pay per view to oversee, have a nice day!

[Chavo watches Foley leave then he mutters under his breath as he searches for something to do. He spots a sales rack and looks in horror as he sees some of his gear on it. Chavo looks around and when he thinks the coast is clear he grabs a marker and writes over the sign.]



[Chavo takes a step back to admire his work, but then he sees movement out of the corner of his eye. He turns to find that same guy taking down more notes.]



[Chavo walks away to find something else to do, when he’s approached by a women holding a Cody Rhodes action figure. Chavo takes a noticeably loud sigh and pretend to look interested in the woman’s problem.]

{Woman}
Hi! I was wondering if I could return this toy for my son?

{Chavo}
For what? It hasn’t even been opened yet, why would you want to return it?

{Woman}
Because my son wants to get the Cody Rhodes toy with a mask on his face.

{Chavo}
But that toy is perfectly fine. Why can’t he be happy with that one?

{Woman}
Yeah I know, but he really wants the most current one. Kids these days, huh?

{Chavo}
Yeah, it’s pretty bad when you have parents spoiling their kids like this. It’s sad actually, when the kids are the one running the household.

{Woman}
Excuse me? How dare you question my parenting style? Who the hell do you think you are?

{Chavo}
A man who has seen his fair share of parents who think they can buy their kids love. And what makes you think we’d have a masked Cody Rhodes doll anyway? He only debuted it like last week.

{Woman}
I’ve never been so disrespected in my life! I want to talk to your manager.

{Chavo}
Alright, no need to get all hasty let me handle this for you.

[Chavo takes the package from the woman, opens it up and uses his marker to draw on it.]



{Chavo}
There, that good enough for you?

[The woman scoffs and throws the toy in Chavo’s face, before storming away angrily.]

{Chavo}
What? It looks pretty good!

[Chavo watches the women walk out of the store and when he turns to walks elsewhere he spots that guy writing in his pad.]



[Chavo clenches his jaw as the man finishes writing. There’s a dinging sound that echoes throughout the entire store and he walks around trying to find the source of it. He finally makes his way over to the cash register where he sees a kid playing with the machine.]

{Chavo}
Hey, kid stop messing with that.

{Kid}
What?

{Chavo}
I said don’t tough the machine.

{Kid}
What?

{Chavo}
Get your dirty hands off that.

{Kid}
What?

{Chavo}
Are you deaf?

{Kid}
What?

{Chavo}
Or stupid?

{Kid}
What?

{Chavo}
¿Qué te pasa? LOOK AT ME!

[The kid turns around to face Chavo and when he sees the shirt he’s wearing his face turns bright red in his anger.]



{Chavo}
GET OUT OF HERE!

[The kid giggles as he runs away and the red slowly fades away from Chavo’s face as he cools down a bit. He walks away from the cash register when he spots the guy watching him again.]



[Chavo mutters some obscenities under his breath and when he spots some teenager waving him over he uses stronger language as he walks over to him.]

{Chavo}
What do you want, kid?

{Teen}
Hey man, do you have any Batista shirts?

[Chavo sighs deeply and walks away to get a shirt. And when he returns:]



{Teen}
What the hell man? This is like, Mason Ryan, not Batista.

{Chavo}
Well it’s the best we’ve got!

{Teen}
You suck man, I hope you get hit by a bus and break your face!

[Chavo doesn’t turn around but he can hear the sound of the man’s pen scratching against the paper.]



{Chavo}
Just what exactly are you writing? Lemme see that.

[Chavo reaches for the pad, but the man holds on tight and there’s a struggle as both fight for possession of it. At the same time both pull on it hard and the pad rips sending paper flying everywhere.]

{Chavo}
Look at what you did!

[Chavo’s anger gets the best of him and socks the man right on the jaw knocking him to the floor. There are gasps as everyone in the store is a witness to what just happened. Chavo looks around and slowly backs away from the man. Without warning he runs over to the sales rack and takes some of his stuff and runs out of the store. The screen zooms in on one of the shirts he dropped on the way out:]



[The screen slowly fades to black as alarms continue to sound in the background. The camera then cuts to Cole, King, and JR at the announce table.]

---

[Cole has his hand over his mouth struggling to stifle his laugh while JR does a face palm.]

{King}
Chavo didn’t learn a damn thing.
