LIVE FROM: TD Garden

Boston, Massachusetts



DEADLINE: 4:30 P.M. EST / 9:30 P.M. GMT



Intercontinental Jericho

Last week Bullet Clubs AJ Styles vs Alpha Clubs Chris Jericho opened up Anarchy competing one on one for the XWL Intercontinental Championship, in what would turn out to be one hell of a match topped with the ultimate distraction, Chris Jericho came out victorious ending Styles reign as champion. With three weeks to go until Final Stand X Jericho made a request at the questions of his own Alpha Club members Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. Jericho challenged Kevin Owens to a match at the Tenth Anniversary of the event, will Layla grant the request or will she have something in store for the Alpha Club

Lunacy vs Evil

Tonight, Dean Ambrose puts up his World Television Title on the line against Kyohi’s own EVIL. Will the Lunatic Fringe Double Champion be able to retain against Kyohis own, or will Anarchy become EVIL?  

“The Cabinet sends their regards, Tah-Tah……”

The line uttered by The Cabinets newest acquisition in Leo Kruger last week as he had laid out all four members of the Undisputed Era single handedly, in the dark leaving them bloody, splintered, knocked out in trash cans, and lying in doorways, showing that his time away from XWL was spent honing his skills by night hunting in Africa. Will there be retribution for his actions tonight?

What “Anti Bullying Agreement”?

Last week Alexa Bliss and Asuka sat down to officially sign what was thought to be an “Anti-Bullying Agreement”, but it turns out that Alexa signed an agreement to face Asuka in a No Holds Barred match at Final Stand X, An outraged and quite possibly scared Alexa Bliss now has that looming thought in the Back of her mind of meeting Asuka at Final Stand X under No Holds Barred rules, how is that going to affect her in the remaining weeks leading up to Final Stand X?


Half Cabinet, Half Undisputed

Tonight in our Main Event, Half of each of the two bitter rivaled teams of The Cabinet and The Undisputed Era meet up when The Cabinets Aiden English and Diangelo Dinero square up against The Undisputed Eras, Adam Cole and Roderick Strong. After the attack last week, one can hope that both of these men are able to put up a fight against Aiden English and Diangelo Dinero.

Mauro Ranallo

Three low blows, Cody took three low blows and still somehow managed to get up and win this match.




Corey Graves

Indeed he did Mauro, but not without some sacrifice Cody looks spent, he looks hurt.



As soon as Corey finishes speaking we hear the sound of someone tapping on the microphone.

The cameras turn back to the ring revealing Cody standing there with a microphone in his hand.

Cody

Week after week I come out here, bust my ass in front of all of you fans to give you the entertainment you deserve. Now with that said, working week after week, day after day, training to become better, pro long your retirement, makes you feel superhuman at times like oh I can never get hurt I know what I’m doing and that’s partially the truth. But we are not superhuman, we all get hurt one way or another. Sometimes its minor, sometimes it’s not. But here lately I have been dealing with a neck and back problems. The day before my memorial of my father’s passing on Anarchy, my wife Brandi urged me to go see a doctor due to not being able to move my neck or move at all without excruciating pain coming from my back and/or neck. So I contacted the fine medical staff near home and got an appointment scheduled for the next week. Upon receiving X-Rays MRI’s the works, I was told I have severely strained back and neck muscles that were the culprits to the pain I have been dealing with. The doctor had told me to relax and take Tylenol when necessary as well as seek out a massage therapist, and it would simply ease the pain, rather than completely rid of the pain. The doctor said the only way to dismiss the pain completely would be to continue what he had ordered me to do along with rest. Now me being me, as stubborn as my father was sometimes, I haven’t rested. I show up 4 or 5 days early seek out a massage specialist in the town of the show that next week and get a massage and an ice bath to soothe my muscles. And sleep in a hotel somewhere near the arena. So the doctor called me at home after the show last week and told me he had watched me getting attacked, and he could tell from the way I was walking, standing that I was extremely uncomfortable and I hadn’t been resting properly and that continuing to do so could further the minor injury and possibly cause me to take an elongated period of time up to a year or more. So with that being said I’m going to adhere the doctor’s advice.



The crowd begins chanting, please don’t go, please don’t go.



Cody

Guys, guys, you act like I’m retiring or something, I will be back in a few weeks.

Believe me, I don’t want to go just as much as you all don’t want me to go. But in order for me to keep performing in front of you guys for years to come, this is something I have to do. Enjoy the rest of the night, hats off to you Shinsuke for one hell of a match, low blows and all heh. Good night everybody.



We can then hear the crowd start chanting once more see you soon, see you soon, see you soon.

With that the Anarchy cameras fade into our first commercial of the night.

As Anarchy FINALLY kicks off, the screen is directed to the weekly commentators of XWL for a brief update on a situation that unfolded last week between Sasha Banks, Liv Morgan, Natalya, and General Manager Layla.



[Corey Graves]
Ladies and gentlemen, after the events that took place on last week's edition of Anarchy, we do have an update on the condition of XWL superstar Liv Morgan.

[Mauro Ranallo]
That's right, Graves. Last week during Sasha Banks' trivial apology to General Manager Layla-

Corey Graves begins to scoff, cutting off Mauro mid-sentence.

[Corey Graves]
Trivial? There was nothing trivial about it, Mauro! Sasha Banks was showing her true colors, yet again, just as she has been doing for countless weeks. Sasha Banks will do absolutely whatever it takes to get into the spotlight and to stay there, we've seen this time and time again. The Boss knows no boundaries when it comes to professionalism or work etiquette.

[Mauro Ranallo]
True as that may be, Corey, Sasha's actions last week had a more severe impact for one individual than her inappropriate slap to General Manager Layla two weeks ago. Last week, Sasha was challenged by the rookie who managed to pin her in the Elimination Chamber a couple of months ago, Liv Morgan. A woman who had previously been out on injury after an attack from Charlotte Flair. Banks took this as an opportunity to prove her true intentions and cement her status in this company by viciously and brutally targeting young Liv Morgan's injuries to the point where it became a bit too painful to watch.

[Corey Graves]
And as much as I may disagree with the Boss's methods, I can't help but feel that Liv Morgan was a little too cocky coming off of her injury from the Queen. Morgan had no business stepping into the ring with the most dangerous woman currently on the roster if she wasn't at least 110%. That being said, we did witness an unforgiving attack by Sasha Banks on Liv Morgan, and her head more specifically.

[Mauro Ranallo]
We've been informed by XWL's medical team that Morgan sustained multiple concussions as well as some serious head trauma at the hands of Banks last week. As of right now, it is unclear when exactly we will see Liv Morgan in the ring again, but we do wish her a speedy recovery and the best of luck on her undoubtedly challenging road back into action.

[Corey Graves]
Say what you will about Liv Morgan, and I do, but it's never a good day when another talent is placed on the shelf. Especially one as young and early along in her career, with as much untapped potential. Speaking from personal experience with cumulative injuries over the course of my in-ring career similar to those Liv suffered all in a matter of minutes, we do sincerely wish her the best and look forward to seeing her back in the ring whenever the opportunity presents itself. That being said, I'm a firm believer that everything does happen for a reason and maybe for Liv Morgan that reason could be that she forgets her unfortunate background of being raised in the abomination of a "state" that is New Jersey.

[Mauro Ranallo]
And that's not all the happened last week, Corey. Immediately after Sasha's loaded apology and attack on Liv Morgan, we saw XWL Women's Champion Natalya have an interesting conversation backstage with the GM.

[Corey Graves]
Indeed we did, and major kudos to Natalya for finally standing up for herself and having some long-awaited vengeance. It only took the better part of a decade for her to find a voice and some guns to stick to.

[Mauro Ranallo]
It seemed as though Layla was ready to lay down the hammer on the Boss, when the Queen of Harts interjected and suggested an alternative route.

[Corey Graves]
I've made it no secret that I haven't been a very big fan of Natalya before this, but you've got to admit that she's been holding her own after finally attaining the Women's Championship. She hasn't been allowing everyone and quite literally their mother to walk over top of her and her name. Ever since she won the championship, Natalya has been on a tear in XWL and all I can say is that it's about time!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Her new found confidence along with a little karma on Layla's behalf is what in the end convinced the General Manager to hold off on punishing Sasha Banks just long enough to let Natalya get her hands on her one, last, time. And we'll presumably be getting more developments on that situation when Sasha Banks and the Women's Champion Natalya share the ring for Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel coming up later tonight.

[Corey Graves]
This will be the first time that Natalya and Sasha Banks have come face-to-face since their heated collision a couple of weeks ago that is what really reignited the fire beneath this constantly-evolving feud for the ages.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Stay tuned for all of that and more on this week's episode of Anarchy!

Ranallo and Graves both showcase an excited smile as XWL cuts to a brief commercial break to set up for the next segment.

*As Anarchy returns from a commercial break there is an absence of imagery, only blackness accompanied by a strange yet peaceful silence.  A few moments pass before the same familiar voice from last week begins to speak.  Again, the words are shown on screen and build to form sentences.*

[Voice]
Just because I've been gone doesn't mean I haven't been watching.
Even though I've been silent doesn't mean I have nothing to say.
Freedom to do what I want has only made me better.
Finally, the time approaches for my resurrection.

[Voice]
Hear the whispers in the wind as they echo?
Are you listening?
Remember how I used to rule the world?
Destiny has again aligned the stars for history to repeat itself.
Yesterday is but a memory as tomorrow approaches.

[Voice]
Remember how I used to rule the world?
Endings only create new beginnings.
Tomorrow marks MY new beginning.
Under the brightest lights of all I make my comeback.
Remember how I used to rule the world?
Now is the time for my creatures to awaken from their slumber.
Soon I will rule the world once again.

*The voice's last line echoes several times before the same whispering voice from last week closes out this odd segment.*

[Whispering Voice]
July 9th... Final Stand X... The Battleground Of The Immortals...

*With that Anarchy resumes as though nothing happened and this weird video is yet again not acknowledged by the commentary team...*

Cameras head to find Renee backstage and with her Kaitlyn



[Renee Young]
Ladies and Gentlemen my guest tonight Kaitlyn.

Crowd starts cheering as loud as they can



[Renee Young]
Now Kaitlyn two weeks ago you faced Nia Jax and lost. This past week you went up against Alexa Bliss and won how are you reacting to that.



[Kaitlyn]
Well honestly Renee I love it Nia was a huge challenge but it was my only way to prove to myself and everyone else around here that I belong. As for my match with Alexa it was my rebound match to prove that I can still win and that i'm not just a loser.



[Renee Young]
Now we also found out last week that you are one of three women so far added to the six women Money in the Bank ladder match. Can I get your thoughts on that?



[Kaitlyn]
Last week when layla announced that the breifcase was vacated I thought to myself what a perfect opportunity to get both of my wishes. One was to have a match at Final Stand after getting screwed 4 years ago. The other was to find a way to get back on top and become a champion once again. We all know that I was the longest reigning Divas Champion and honestly I think I can steak my claim to become the longest reigning Womens Champion. But to do this I have to go through 5 other women in that match. Now we know 2 of them Nia Jax and April. But the other three will be named sometime tonight or next week. Who ever they are they better be ready hell they all better be ready because I will be walking out of that match Miss Money in the Bank. Oh and Natalya, Sasha I know your both are back here in the locker room watching this. I just want you to know that when I do win that briefcase at Final Stand I will be coming for you before the night is over.

[Renee Young]
Speaking of Nia Jax and April you have a triple threat match with them tonight. How do you think you will fare in this match.

[Kaitlyn]
Well who knows how i'll do. The one thing I do know is that whoever wins this match will be walking into Final Stand with a win over there opponents. Now I hope to win this but I have never been in the ring with april. So out of me and her it should be interesting. As for Nia she has a win over me but i'm looking for redemption from that loss. I would like to wish the best of luck to them and may the best woman win.

[Renee Young]
Well we do have a confident Kaitlyn whos looking to go into Final Stand win MITB and cash in to walk out Womens Champion the same night best of luck to all of the women that will be participating in that match.

Storm kicks out before the three count. Wyatt picks up Storm and attempts to suplexs him but storm does his best to counter. Storm gets free and looks to take advantage. A series of left and rights push Bray Wyatt to the corner. Storm takes a few steps back then charges at Wyatt but he suddenly counters with a power slam. Wyatt is in control as he throws him into the ropes and follows up with a closeline. Wyatt heads to the turnbuckle leaning forward then throwing hisself back into his sadistic walk stalking storm. Wyatt grabs storm and hits sister abigail. He goes for the pin.

As the ref comes down for the three count storm kicks out. Bray Wyatt looks on in disbelief as he thinks to himself what can I do to keep this guy down. Bray yet again stalks his opponent looking for sister abigail once more. Wyatt grabs storm and goes for it one more time. But Storm counters.........





SUPERKICK!!!!!!! Storm goes for the pin

[Ring Announcer]
And heres your winner James Storm



Storm grabs his beer and begins to celebrate high fiving his fans before heading up the ramp and to the back.

Cameras go back stage to Renee catching up with James Storm

[Renee Young]
Storm can I have a moment of your time please?

[James Storm]
Sure miss Renee how may I help you.

[Renee Young]
First I would like to say congrats on your first win here tonight but me along with everyone else would like to know what made you interupt Andrade and Zelina last week?

[James Storm]
Thank you Renee. Well you see they talk about how they are here every single night. Well were are they huh not here tonight. They talk about how there's no one in the back locker room who can stand toe to toe with greatness and live to tell the tale. How they were gonna provide the best of the best and the fact they can't be defeated.

Storm takes a drink of his beer and chuckles

[James Storm]
Well he has never gone against someone like me James Storm. I'm the best as they come. Now even tho I have never been a champ here in the XWL I have been a champ before. I have been a world champion and tag team champion. And when the time is right I will be a champ here to but until then I think giving Andrade the beating of his life will just have to do.

[Renee Young]
How do you feel about what Zelina said about you last week as well about being out dated and basically not being any competition.

Storm takes another drink of beer and speaks again

[James Storm]
Well if that's how she honestly feels about me that's her opinion. These people know me and they know that I won't ever back down from a fight. But this isn't gonna just be a fight. This is gonna be a fight to see who is truly the best. So as I told him last week and as i'm going to continue to tell him. If Andrade thinks he can stand toe to toe with me and get a win over me we all know what I have to say about that. SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!

Storm takes another drink as he walks off camera

[Renee Young]
Well ladies and gentlemen this rivalry between these to should be a good one. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

Camera fades out as we head to commercial

The scene opens up with Renee walking the halls and checking in each room for someone to interview and get the latest scoop on XWL operations etc. Then you can see the camera pan out and a car door is slammed. Renee goes from a curious look on her face to a smile and puts her arm out to grab the person she sees next to said car.

The person looks up and down Renee as she folds her arms, unimpressed and then urges someone next to her to the front. Handed his bag, he looks at Renee and the camera focuses in on the two. It’s the previously thought to be absent, Andrade and Zelina.

He’s in the middle of fixing his buttons and the watch around his wrist. Zelina puts her hand on the microphone before Renee can speak a singular word.

"THE TEMPER TEMPTRESS"
[Zelina Vega]
You think we don’t pay attention, you think just because we had to go to the aid of Andrade’s family member. Blood is blood, and that’s what’s most important. We’re right here, Cowboy and we’re not going anywhere. You want to fight fire with fire, this isn’t a bonfire with booze surrounding your redneck palooza.

Zelina smirks and points her finger at the camera, ticked off.

"THE TEMPER TEMPTRESS"
[Zelina Vega]
This is pro wrestling, this is our family as well. We are here every single week, in sickness and in health. La familia, something you clearly have no understanding of. Pride is in our veins and in our sweat. Our hard work submits the legacy, time is of the essence. Now, if you’ll excuse me, US. We have an important meeting, late is better.. than never.

Andrade lifts up his head and then wheels his luggage off the camera’s view as he speaks real quickly and in a timely manner. Zelina raises an eyebrow after the fact.

“THE 100”
[Andrade “Cien” Almas]
No me llamas, lo único que tienes es una última llamada para tu culo ebrio. Usted habla de eso también, ¿quiere pelear? Te espera la pelea de tu vida, exijo respeto ... Y lo tomaré.

IN ENGLISH

Quote :

You don’t call me out, the only thing you have is a last call for your drunken ass. You speak out of it too, you’re wanting to fight? You’re in for the fight of your life, I demand respect.. And i’ll take it.

Natalya's theme sounds in victory as, an unusual response follows, it's not celebratory cheers from the masses, it's a majority of boos because we're not in just anywhere tonight, we're in the hometown of Natalya's Number One Contender, Sasha Banks. This is Boston, and if you're against one of their own, you are not well received, and that is the reality The Women's Champion faces as she rises up, and the referee lifts her arm, and she's met by boos.



[MAURO RANALLO]
Yet another example as to why Natalya is The Women's Champion, and 2018 has been HER year...but I'd be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the um, bizarre reaction to The Queen of Harts right now.

[COREY GRAVES]
Apparently in Boston they boo the the ones betrayed in friendships, instead of the ones who commit that betrayal.

[MAURO RANALLO]
It's no secret that hometowns typically stay true to their own, but it is interesting that Sasha's not even out here and Natalya's on the receiving end of some pretty vocal negativity.

[COREY GRAVES]
Well if they wanna act out I think it's best we don't pay any attention to them, and instead focus on what just happened which was "Demon Allie" having quite the impressive debut, even in defeat...I can't believe the tenacity this young lady has.

[MAURO RANALLO]
She wouldn't stay down, Natalya delivered her best moves one after the other and...she couldn't keep Allie down for a count of three.

[COREY GRAVES]
I'm not sure if it's her transformation under the "hive" or what, but the level of endurance she displayed is pretty phenomenal for a newcomer to XWL.

Despite the boos, a reaction that's completely foreign to her, she smiles confidently as her hand is raised and The Women's Championship is held up as well.



2018 has been a year of a newfound "unbreakable" Natalya more than ever before, defeating everyone in her path, a path that led her to finally become Women's Champion...and defend it in a structure like The Elimination Chamber against 5 of the division's best. And now after being called out by Demon Allie last week, she stepped up like a Champion does and answered that challenge giving Allie the match she wanted, and coming out on top in the end.

[MAURO RANALLO]
Of course Natalya will be a guest on The Highlight Reel with The New Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho, alongside her opponent at Final Stand, Sasha Banks.

[COREY GRAVES]
That's going to be quite the interesting, huh Mauro? The last time these two were in a ring together it ensued into a brawl that spanned the crowd, the concessions, back to the ring, and eventually backstage. Can Jericho somehow keep these two from tearing each other apart?

[MAURO RANALLO]
Not only that, but given the fact we we are in "Boss" town...it'll be interesting to see how Natalya deals with an entire arena supporting Sasha even as the vile things she's done are surely brought up.


As the ref lowers the arm of The Women's Champion, out of the corner of our view we see Demon Allie panting hard as she stands calling for a mic. Natalya intrigued by what she has to say, throws her title over her shoulder and turns in her direction all ears.  

[Demon Allie]
Huuuh huuuh huuh. Nat we aren't done with you yet. Now we would normally have a dumb excuse for losing but not tonight.

Demon Allie holds her head as she walks up to Natalya. Given Natalya's history with dealing with people like this, she's on her guard, but she did just defeat her, so she knows if worse comes to worse she's likely able to fend her off again.

[Demon Allie]
We all know as of last week that we are not the most liked by these fans and thats good by us because until we have completed our goal we will not be liked. Normally we would have just attacked you from behind and prove our dominance here against you. But we are not going to do that honestly we've got a lot more respect for you right now.

Fans boo that line slightly, for obvious reasons...while Natalya herself is further intrigued.

[Demon Allie]
Now we can say that was one hell of a match you gave us but don't let this go to your head. History will repeat itself once more. Just like Rosemary when she lost her first match she came back and won. We will do the same against you because when we face again we will make sure our powers are at it's highest peak. So always be on your guard because we will strike you when you least expect us to. But until then we give our congrats to you as we say good luck in trying to defend your title in just a couple weeks.

Demon Allie extends her hand showing good sportsman like conduct...which catches Natalya somewhat by surprise, I mean...this is a Woman that clearly is in a state of "possession" almost and it's hard to tell if this is genuine...or just a way to strike when she least expects it, like now. After all, Rosemary was known for spitting mist into the eyes of her opponents, maybe Allie's picked that trait up too? Maybe as soon as she shakes her hand she'll be blinded and in no condition to appear on The Highlight Reel. But as Natalya stares at Demon Allie's hand...she isn't afraid like she would be in the past...sure this is a woman that confuses her, and even after her exploits with Sister April it hasn't completely numbed her to dealing with things of this nature. But she is confident in her ability to handle any situation. This year has been unlike any other for her, and with the confidence to know she's ready for anything...she extends her own hand to Allie, meeting it in the middle, and the hand of the hive's newest enthusiast.

[COREY GRAVES]
Demon Allie showing a bit of respect toward The Women's Champion.

[MAURO RANALLO]
While Rosemary was a very unorthodox character herself, I can't say I'm surprised to see Allie maintain some of her humanity and stay true to herself as a competitor in some regard. She's not let the "darkness" consume her, at least yet anyways.

[COREY GRAVES]
But with that warning issued, how long can she fight it?

After a few seconds, Demon Allie releases her hand from Natalya's, and slowly backs away, slipping through the ropes and leaving The Champion to celebrate her victory. Natalya takes this opportunity to raise The Women's Title above her head, as she stares out at the "Final Stand X" sign hanging in the distance...knowing that in just a few more weeks her next great challenge will stand across from her in this ring, and redemption as well as her title will be at stake. The scene comes to a close and we fade to a commercial break.

 


*Bobby sits in the ring waiting for Steve to come out, the crowd begins to boos as its been close to 5 minutes with no theme no picture no light flash*








*Steve steps out and stares down Bobby, looks around and points at the crowd, he raises his mic.*


Steve

YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT WORTHY OF MY PRESENCE!!! Bobby you are not worthy of the ass whooping you should receive, this crowd... Not even a inch worth of my sweat and blood. You people make me sick just coming out here took a lot of energy out of me and I feel this all the you are worth and all that you deserve..   *The crowd boos, Bobby sits in the ring siding with the crowd* Now I am going to drop this mic and let you people take in the greatness you have witnessed and install in your brain and never forget it... Thank you! *Steve bows and drops the mic and walks backstage*

Sami and Kevin's theme rings through the arena, the fans know what time it is and boo as loud as they can. Sami skips out onto the ramp jamming to his best friend's music even though he has no reason to be happy after loosing his Title match and following behind is Kevin Owens, looking over his should and acting like he's seen a ghost... or rather.... a demon. They walk down the ramp merrily



The ring looks set up for the Sami and Kevin Show as the desk in in the ring with the comfy chairs. Across the desk instead of a rusty looking lawn chair is another fancy comfy chair. The two men get comfy and sit down, Sami clears his throat.



[Sami Zayn]
Welcome Ladies and Germs to the BEST talk show in XWL, not to be confused with The Highlight Reel which is ALSO the best show in XWL. The Sami and Kevin Show!

Fans that can't stand these two boo as the few fans they have left cheer them on.

[Kevin Owens]
And BOY HOWDY do we have a guest tonight! Much like us this poor, poor woman is a victim of SADISTIC Bullying! It's so bad that we couldn't get both of them on the same show. Not because this woman is scared, quite the opposite. We felt it was poor taste to feed into this horrific behavior.

[Sami Zayn]
This is 2018! Bullying is NOT okay and we all need to stick together to BE A STAR and END this awful behavior!

Just then the fans start chanting "WHERE'S YOUR TITLE?" Sami gets a frown on his face.



[Sami Zayn]
IN THE HANDS OF SCUM! Dean Ambrose has BULLIED his way into MY Title picture and he BULLIED his way into STEALING MY TITLE!

Kevin calms Sami who runs his hand through his hair in frustration.

[Kevin Owens]
It's okay Sami, let's just have our guest come out, yeah?

Sami just nods and you can hear him say "Yeah, that sounds good"



Little Miss Bliss steps out onto the stage as her theme sounds, and instead of taking this opportunity to clench her fist which has become her signature pose...she stands there clearly not herself after the events of last week. She's the sheep that now heads into slaughter at Final Stand after The Empress of Tomorrow duped her with a false agreement to "end bullying" which actually turned out to be a contract agreeing to a match with Asuka on the grandest stage of them all. She may have shown zero interest in ever competing against Asuka, but now she will indeed do just that, whether she wants to or not.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Well The Wicked Witch of XWL doesn't appear so "wicked" tonight.

[Corey Graves]
The only one who is WICKED is Asuka for tricking the victim of her bullying for MONTHS now, to be forced into competing against her when all Alexa wanted was to be left alone. Alexa entered that ring last week to be an example to little girls everywhere, and she left it utterly heartbroken the two of them weren't going to kickstart a movement to END bullying once and for all.

[Mauro Ranallo]
I'd say she was more heartbroken over the realization that after trying to avoid meeting Asuka in that ring, there's no where left to run, and there's nowhere she can hide from the reality that she WILL.

As she heads down the ramp the makings of a very prominent "ASUKA'S GONNA KILL YOU" chant soon begins to overtake any other sound, including Alexa's theme. She scurries down the ramp not making eye contact with the vicious that choose to rub last week in her face, and quickly enters the ring, where unfortunately when her theme stops, the chant just gets even louder.



The sadness on her face would be heartbreaking, if she wasn't a horrible person that literally tried to take out someone just like she took out Dana Brooke, and when it didn't work she tried to suddenly play the victim and insist Asuka was bullying her. No it's very fair to say Alexa's getting exactly what she deserves, and no one feels an ounce of remorse for her. To them Asuka IS going to kill her, and they want her to know that.

[Sami Zayn]
Alexa, thank you for joining us. Kev and I are wondering....How are you feeling hun?

Alexa's demeanor is timid, and while normally she'd snap at Sami for being so sexist as to call her "hun" I mean would he call Seth Rollins hun? She's just too in her head to even catch it.



[Alexa Bliss]
I...I'm just, I can't even...

She stops as her voice cracks, and her eyes start to weal up as she tries to ask herself the same question Zayn asked her.

[Alexa Bliss]
I don't understand what I ever did to deserve this. I mean, I'm not a horrible person...

Instantaneously the audience boos loudly, in pure disagreement over her statement.



[Alexa Bliss]
I came out to this ring last week to be the change I wanted to see in the world today. To END bullying, but that's not what happened...instead, Asuka's bullying reached a new level, a level of deception that quite frankly, I am in disbelief over. She led me into an agreement under false pretenses, and apparently the legal system is just as much of a bully as she is, because despite my pleading, I'm told the contract is binding, and there's no backing out of something I never wanted. I just, I wanted to be left alone Sami, I didn't want to face her, I just wanted to be free of the awful things she's done to me, and instead...I feel more emotionally trapped than ever.

Sami looks at Alexa with understanding in his eyes, Sami turns towards Kevin who is wiping tears out of his eyes, Sami pats Kevin on the shoulder.

[Sami Zayn]
Truly sad stuff Alexa....I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that.

Kevin is done wiping the tears out of his eyes and talks directly to Bliss.


[Kevin Owens]
Honestly Alexa, you're a hero. Shouldering the weight of this bully and still getting up in the morning and coming to work. All the despair she's put you through and physical pain she's inflicted on you... I applaud you.

Sami and Kevin start clapping for Alexa, the fans have had just about enough of this and boo even louder.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Oh for heavens sake.... Just end this please.

[Corey Graves]
HOW DARE YOU MAURO! This brave soul is hurting and these two Angels are trying to heal her wounds!

[Sami Zayn]
WHATS WRONG WITH YOU ANIMALS! Show some Damn respect! She's been through enough with out you idiots berating her with "Asuka's gonna kill you!" chants!

Bliss twitches a bit when Sami says that as Kevin punches Sami in the arm.



[Sami Zayn]
Alexa, I'm SO sorry! I honestly didn't mean to say that! Look we have something that will make you feel sooooo much better! Kev get the thing.

Kevin takes out a notepad from the drawer of the desk as Sami puts on reading glasses

[Kevin Owens]
We did some research for you!

Sami clears his throat and uses his finger to guide himself.

[Sami Zayn]
It's a proven fact that Asuka completely underestimates you, she thinks you have absolutely no chance but what she fails to realize is she chose the PERFECT MATCH for you!

Alexa looks a little confused.

[Sami Zayn]
Think about it Alexa! You can use and weapon you want! Well I mean almost any weapon. You can't bring firearms obviously, but I'm getting off track. We all know if you were in the Elimination Chamber you would've beat every other woman in that match and taken that Women's Championship easily, because Alexa. When it comes to win or lose? You do what ever it takes to walk out the victor!

[Kevin Owens]
And it says right here.



[Kevin Owens]
And I quote "Asuka has never used weapons in her XWL career" she obviously is in way over her head in this type of match! Are you still the one everyone is betting on? No.

[Mauro Ranallo]
I'd like to know where they get their information at....

[Corey Graves]
Their EXPERT journalists MAURO! They do tons of research on all their guests, that's why they're the BEST!

[Sami Zayn]
People like us Alexa.

Sami points to all three of them.

[Sami Zayn]
We're no longer the underdogs... We're better than that now.

Fans again start... "WHERE'S YOUR TITLE!" as Sami looks depressed again. Alexa nods, finding agreement in what he said, while also finding what the crowd is saying to Sami to be quite rude, but then again given their distasteful behavior towards her she's not really surprised.



[Alexa Bliss]
I mean, you make a pretty valid point...but still it's like every time I stare at that sign in the distance, I'm being bullied all over again.

As her eyes stare out at the huge sign hanging above the arena, they soon look away traumatized.

[Alexa Bliss]
Final Stand is what people like us live for, but Asuka's ruined even that for me. My dream of one day standing on that stage has become a nightmare...it's as if she's Freddy Kruger, and I'm being punished for whatever made her this crazed maniac. It wasn't the kids fault what their parents did, just like it's not my fault that she can't accept she's bully, and she's too proud to admit her faults like a normal person. Like me, I'm too forgiving. I came out here last week ready to bury the hatchet she threw at me in the first place, and let bygones be bygones, and because I believed she truly had seen the error of her ways, I didn't ever think to read the contract I was signing...because, I trusted her. And how is my pure heart repaid? By being forced into a match that yes, I'll win...because I AM ready for Asuka but that's beside the point. I was READY for all of this to finally be behind me, but much like you were ready to leave last week with YOUR World Heavyweight Championship...that didn't happen. So now I'm left to pick up the pieces that is my heart after she shattered it into a million pieces and somehow recover in time to beat her. It's just, it's so inconsiderate, you know? Like, how RUDE.

[Kevin Owens]
We do know, like what ever happened last week with the lights and voice I he-

[Sami Zayn]
Kev I told you, that was all in your imagination. Anyways Alexa it's truly heartbreaking when you think someone has changed the error of their ways, you finally think you've reached them and they then pull something like that? After that the only thing you can do for them is to beat some sense into their thick heads. I know you don't want to have to resort to that, but unfortunately it seems that's what we've come to.

[Kevin Owens]
Speaking of injustice here in XWL, let's talk about what happened in the main event last week. Sami I did some digging and it seems the Ref from last week, the one that officiated the Title Match. He was the SAME Referee that SCREWED over Alexa!

Sami and Alexa gasp at the news Kevin has found out.

[Kevin Owens]
Not only that, I re-watched the match and now I know FOR A FACT he fast counted you!

[Mauro Ranallo]
That's again, false information. Are you sure these two have credible sources Corey?

[Corey Graves]
THEY HAVE THE MOST CREDIBLE SOURCE! Themselves! They are like real life Sherlock Holmes when it comes to finding out information Mauro!

[Sami Zayn]
I KNEW IT! I knew something was off with that final pin! It wasn't enough that he RAKED MY EYE!

Kevin and Alexa gasp as the fans boo.

[Sami Zayn]
I agree with all of you! BOOO Dean Ambrose for resorting to such horrible means!

Sami sticks his finger in the air and continues

[Sami Zayn]
But that wasn't it! Oh no, I had horrible crippling PTSD I was dealing with all match from that way too scary Resident Evil 2 Remake AND I had food poisoning from that bear claw I had before the match! I told Layla bout these issues but she wouldn't postpone the match!

[Mauro Ranallo]
This is getting ridiculous ...

[Corey Graves]
HOW COULD LAYLA?! IT'S ALL HER FAULT!



[Alexa Bliss]
I think it's a unanimous conclusion that last week, is something we all want to put behind us. Unfortunately for you, you didn't win back The World Heavyweight Championship that Matt Sydal cost you in the first place...and unfortunately for little Susie out there, staying up late as she tuned in to Anarchy hopeful to see bullying finally brought to an end....she, just like I, was left disappointed, and her hope of one day being free from the wrath of her own bullies died.

Alexa gets choked up a little bit, trying to find the strength to soldier on.



[Alexa Bliss]
Which is why, as much as I wanted to put this behind me, and be free of Asuka, as much as I don't want to have to...embarrass her on the grandest stage of them all...I have an obligation to little Susie in restoring that hope. We may not always be able to resolve life's issues through mature conversation, sometime we will have to STAND UP to that bully, and beat them. And I vow to you Susie, Sami, Kevin, Nia, and anyone else that has ever felt shackled down by a bully I will BEAT the ever loving BLISS out of The Empress of Tomorrow, and when I'm through with her? For her there will be NO tomorrow.

[Sami Zayn]
Nice play on words there Alexa. It's so brave of you to stand up to bullying and be a role model to all these people!

The fans boo in displeasure as Sami and Kevin clap for Alexa. Sami looks at his notepad again.

[Sami Zayn]
Don't listen to these people Alexa, their not your true fans. On the bright side though, thanks to my best friend Kevin Owens my opponent tonight Finn Balor Won't be able to make it. So now I don't have to waste my times performing in....

Sami shivers just thinking about this town.

[Sami Zayn]
In Boston, yuck.

The crowd boos get louder as Sami looks back at his notepad.



[Sami Zayn]
Oh boo hoo! You know your town is a garbage dump. Any who Alexa, I have another question written down here. Kev, do you care to ask it?

Kevin shrugs and takes the notepad.

[Kevin Owens]
It would be my pleasure Sami! Now Alexa, we all know you're going to beat Asuka at Final Stand but we want to know, how exactly are you going to do I-

Kevin suddenly freezes and is now looking at ringside as it's filling up with smoke, the lights start flashing as it seems Kevin is having some serious PTSD. Sami and Alexa look around to see whats happening thinking it must be a problem with the staging crew. Sami turns back to Kevin but only sees an empty seat that's still spinning as if someone has almost literally jumped out of it. Sami turns towards the stage to see Kevin running up the ramp, Sami throws his hands in the air.

[Sami Zayn]
Alexa I'm so, so sorry but if I don't go get him he'll just keep going. Good talk!

Sami rolls out of the ring and chases Kevin into the back screaming "Dude WTF!" Alexa is just left alone in the ring.

[Corey Graves]
Hey everyone, we’ve got what we’ve wanted all along, it’s THE ALEXA BLISS SHOW!

[Mauro Ranallo]
I don’t think that’s how it works, Corey.

[Corey Graves]
She’s in the ring with a microphone, I’m sure she’s qualified enough.

Alexa twirls around the microphone and looks around the arena a bit dumbfounded with what to do next, being blown off from Sami and Kevin on their own show no rather. She puts her hand on her hip and the ringside with smoke hasn’t faded. You know, how smoke dissipates into thin air after it’s made it’s presence, well it doesn’t seem that way. It’s getting even heavier and it starts flooding the ring.



[Alexa Bliss]
Excuse me, I’m trying to have a moment of BLISS here.. Can you do your job and not try to suppress my breathing? This is harmful in many MANY ways.

[Corey Graves]
What’s the meaning of this, where’s the emergency fire extinguisher when you need one?!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Yeah, it’s getting a bit out of hand.

Alexa starts feeling cold and her arms are covering each other, she’s shivering and worried about the amount of smoke covering almost all of her bottom half. She can’t even see the ends of the ring, and she goes to speak annoyed.



[Alexa Bliss]
Hello?! It's bad enough I'm forced to deal with that psychopath at Final Stand...now I have to deal with being exposed to second hand smoke?

Alexa looks down at the ground, over dramatically coughing as if she's gasping for air from the smoke. She tries to shake the smoke off the best she can, until she can’t shake it anymore. She goes to move her feet to the right and then to the left, why would there be a gravitational pull? There isn’t, because there is an actual hand, of a living person.. On her ankle by now. She starts to inspect it and then begins to scream loudly as can be. She is in a panic and so is the commentary team.

[Corey Graves]
What the hell, can someone get this creepy fan off of Alexa this instant!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Graves, I don’t think that is a fan..

Before Alexa can react further and in sound body and mind, she screams nonstop as if she’s being dragged down to hell inch by inch, all you can hear are the sounds of the canvas being ripped effortlessly. A masked figure rises and Alexa only has the best view. Alexa falls down with her ankle still clutched, right onto her bottom and doesn’t stop from staring at the mask’s eye holes. The mask can only be described as symbolic.

[Corey Graves]
If that isn’t a fan, then why is this masked person or thing fixated on Alexa, she’s done nothing to deserve this. Get out of there, it’s not worth it!

[Mauro Ranallo]
The person behind the mask has Alexa’s ankle, did you forget that.. Corey?

Alexa is shocked and starts backing up as far as she can, before the ankle is kept in place. The masked figure pushes themselves up out of underneath the ring and nearly mounting The Wicked Witch Of XWL. She starts raising her hand off of the ankle and Bliss breathing heavily, rolls and kicks and punches her way out of this predicament, until she’s now on the floor away from harm’s way.

The smoke begins to clear and you can see the person dancing in it, as if it’s comfortable being in a condensed fogged filled area. The swaying representing a certain someone, it has to be the one sought out after Bliss, Asuka is behind that mask.. It’s her mask she wears every time to the ring, and now out of the ring.

Bliss getting out of there, before the person revealed to be Asuka, with her monsterous approach and almost evil intentions that led to it. Alexa is frightened and for good reason!

[Corey Graves]
Does Asuka's bullying know no end?

[Mauro Ranallo]
Don't worry Corey, it'll all be over after Final Stand when after months of avoiding The Empress...Little Miss Bliss will be forced to step inside that ring with Asuka and we'll see just who has the "Final Stand" when all is said and done.



The swaying and the theme song blares through the arena, a few fans are dancing along with her, a flowing of energy and harnessing a lot of power. Asuka is enjoying herself as Bliss is having a tantrum mixed in with a full on panic attack, about 10 feet away. The camera fades with Asuka dancing away into the night.

cameras go backstage to Demon Allie talking as she seems to be talking to herself

[Demon Allie]
What do you think your doing huh?

[Allie]
What do you mean?

[Demon Allie]
You shook Natalya's hand. You shook the hand of the enemy. How could you do that?

[Allie]
Well I was being nice. We don't need enemys. We need friends.

[Demon Allie]
BEING NICE! NEEDING FRIENDS! We don't need anyone else but us. We have the hive and that's who we will follow.

[Allie]
But we can have so much more. We can't fall to the darkness. Remember what Rosemary said don't let the darkness consume us.

[Demon Allie]
Forget what Rosemary said you know deep down she's still part of the hive and she will return to her old ways.

Renee Young walks up as Demon Allie continues to talk to herself

[Allie]
Your wrong. Rosemary would never go back to the darkness. She is .............

[Renee Young]
Ummmm. Excuse me Demon Allie.

[Allie]
Ahhhhh. Renee you startled me. Oh an you can call me Allie.

[Renee Young]
Ok Allie can you explain what happened out there. First you are talking about how its the peoples fault that Rosemary isn't here anymore. You also told the women and Natalya to watch their backs because they will never know when an attack will come. Then you go and shake Natalya's hand. What is happening with you.

[Allie]
Well it was all a mistake. That handshake was a jesture of friendship to Natalya. Now as for what was said I didn't mean what was said. Fans I am so sorry this is all a misunderstanding. I would never turn on you guys. The people that got me to where I am today. I'm gonna make a change and I won't let the darkness consume me. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Allie holds her head as is something is terribly wrong with her

[Renee Young]
Allie are you ok.

A possessed female voice takes over talking in the form of Allie

[Possessed Female]
Yes we are ok. We are all better now that we got the nusense under control.

[Renee Young]
What do you mean we Allie there is no one else around. It's just you and me. Your the only one who screamed.

[Possessed Female]
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha RENEE! It's us Demon Allie. Now Allie is still apart of us but she is no longer available to talk. Now forget about that answer that little Allie gave you about this all being a mistake. The only mistake we have is the fact we let her take over. She took over and what does she do. She shakes the hand of that paper champion. But we will not let that happen again.

[Renee Young]
Ok Demon Allie you call Nat A paper champion but as I recall she just beat you. Also why don't you lay off Allie you don't need to attack her.

[Demon Allie]
First your right Nat did beat us but make no mistake it won't happen again. You see history will repeat itself once again. As for Allie shes nothing without the hive. You see Allie reminds me of you Renee. Such an innocent and pathetic little girl who has lost herself. But you see that's what the hive is here for. To find those lost souls bring them in and show them the way they have been looking for. Come on Renee we know your still searching for yourself. The hive welcomes you with open arms and we can show you the way.

[Renee Young]
Pathetic I think you and whoever we is should watch who your talking to. As for your hive I wouldn't follow them if they were the last cult on earth. The hive i'm sure is just a joke and i'm sure everyone else would agree with me. Plus aren't cults overrated anymore.

Demon Allie steps face to face with Renee as shes starts to back away

[Demon Allie]
We suggest you watch what you say about the hive because you don't know what we are capable of Renee. Ha ha ha ha ha look at you your scared. Now we did learn one thing from Rosemary. We could mist you right now but we choosing not to because you aren't worthy of the hive's wrath.

Demon Allie jumps towards Renee as she flinches. Demon Allie gives a sadistic laugh with a head twitch and walks off camera as we go to the commentators

[Mauro Ranallo]
Corey what an the hell is wrong with Allie or as She calls herself Demon Allie.

[Corey Graves]
I'll tell you what's going on Renee just disrespected the hive and I think Demon Allie should have misted her if she really did pick it up from Rose. Renee should have never opened her mouth about the hive. So in all honesty she got lucky.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Oh come on  Corey that was uncalled for. She didn't need to put fear into her. Renee was just speaking her opinion.

[Corey Graves]
Speaking her opinion. Her opinion should have been kept to herself. Honestly I like Demon Allie and the hive. I can't wait to see what more is in store for them.

---

Anarchy returns from commercial break and we have the ring decorated for the greatest talk show in the ten-year history of this company. The lights are changed to blue, the ring is covered with a light blue carpet that was obviously made of 100% pure Serengeti Yak hair, and to top it all off, the Jeritron 6500 hanging at eye level. Your brand new Intercontinental Champion stood in the middle of the ring with his recently won championship worn proudly around his waist as lifted his microphone up.



[CHRIS JERICHO]
I know what you're thinking. What the hell is Chris Jericho doing interviewing someone who's not Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens? And I've got the answer to your questions. Where there is every Miz TV with nobodies like Rusev and Lana, there must be a Highlight Reel with the real stars like Sasha Banks and Natalya to save the day and bring life and entertainment back into your wrestling experience. It was an opportunity that I could not pass up. To sit down with the two most talented women that this company has to offer is an honor for me. I'm selfish and at the end of the day, yes, I only care about myself... but by associating myself with these women, it makes me look better than I already am. It makes the Highlight Reel THE most must-see talk show in the company today. It's not like there was much competition anyways.

Chris Jericho turns around and points at the television monitor behind him.



[CHRIS JERICHO]
We have the Jericho 6500 loaded and ready to highlight the rivalry these two women have had over the years. We have clips from the early days of their rivalry. We have clips from when things between the two of them became personal. We have everything you could possibly ask for because this is the Highlight Reel, baby, and when you got a host like me, your Intercontinental Champion, you are delivered the finest and most quality entertainment.



[CHRIS JERICHO]
Introducing our first guest... from Calgary, Alberta, Canada...

The hometown crowd of the Boss actually has the nerve boo the Woman's Champion since it's rather obviously Jericho was going to bring her out first. The Intercontinental Champion turns and looks out at the crowd with a disgusted look on his face, offended that they would cut him off like they did.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
You shut your mouths and don't you dare interrupt me again.

Of course, they decided to boo him yet again. The disgusted look on his face turned into a more angered look as he went to speak again but the crowd booed. Boston has always been a rowdy bunch and they were showing that tonight. It finally got to the point where Chris Jericho had no choice but to speak over them because there was no point in trying to get this pro-Sasha Banks crowd to settle down long enough for him to talk. The Intercontinental Champion cleared his throat and talked loudly into the microphone.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
YOUR XWL WOMEN'S CHAMPION... NATALYA!




As The Champion's theme sounds, it almost feels like we're in bizzaro world because instead of the usual cheers and love, and support coming from almost everyone in the building...it's met with boos, and not just people trying to be cool by booing the "favorite" like a rebel, no these boos are loud, like...really loud. Natalya soon makes her way out from the back, title over her shoulder, a mic in hand, and as she walks you can tell she herself seems a bit taken a back by the abnormal reaction.



[MAURO RANALLO]
Well ladies and gentlemen, if you weren't aware...we are in BOSS town tonight, and uh, it's fair to say they support their own here.

[COREY GRAVES]
I've never heard Natalya receive boos like this, all because she's Sasha's rival? Seems a bit cultish don't you think?

[MAURO RANALLO]
It's not unusual for the home town "hero" as they're called to be beloved and seen as if they can do no wrong, but it is still hard to go from shows like last week where Sasha's recent actions repulsed The XWL Universe...and now here, they seem to be blind in their showcase of love for the fellow Bostonian.

[COREY GRAVES]
I mean are you really surprised? These people probably wish they could punch their boss, and Sasha actually did, and not only that, she got away with it!

Normally The Queen of Harts would jump at the chance to interact with The XWL Universe, running up and down the edges of the ramp to high-five and hug the fans alongside it...but as her eyes look at the ramp, there's now open arms waiting to be hugged...there isn't a single sign held high in support of her, it's just thumbs viciously being pointed down and angry shouting. Clearly Boston feels as if Natalya buried them alive as well, and there's a lot of love lost between Natalya and these fans. So she keeps to herself, not losing her smile that's always around.



[MAURO RANALLO]
You know Chris Jericho almost didn't have a reason to have Natalya & Sasha as guests tonight, The General Manager Layla in response to Sasha's actions as of late was clearly going to revoke Sasha's status as contender...but Corey, we...we uh, saw a very different side of Natalya in response to that.

[COREY GRAVES]
I've never heard Natalya so upset in my life, she was livid...she went OFF, like...she was ballistic.

[MAURO RANALLO]
For an obviously understandable reason, this year's Final Stand is redemption to her, and her story with Sasha has spanned so long, so much hatred is between them, and she feels like all of this had a reason. That she asked for the best to reveal themselves in The Iron Woman Classic...and Sasha did just that. So for Layla to try and fill that spot with anyone else, was just not going to fly for The Women's Champion.

[COREY GRAVES]
I've just gotta say how incredible it is that something Layla did 8 years ago when she was still trying to find her place in this division...actually has a big part in this match for Natalya. Layla took part in the infamous Final Stand screw job, where Michelle McCool locked in The MAD-T submission and Vickie Guerrero the then General Manager said Natalya tapped out, when she clearly didn't. And she only locked in that submission because of Layla striking her as she had The Sharpshooter locked in.

[MAURO RANALLO]
And it's because of that, that Sasha is still in this match at Final Stand, The General Manager felt she had a debt to pay, that Natalya was owed this match if it would be what finally helped her make a new memory on the grandest stage...and while Sasha's actions were the actions of a Woman that didn't deserve to keep the spot she had earned while the likes of now Liv Morgan is stuck at home with her future uncertain, let alone the chances of actually appearing at Final Stand...but Natalya wouldn't let Layla tell her no. If anything these fans should be a little less hard on Natalya because it's really because of her that Sasha still is in The Women's Title Match.

The Women's Champion at last makes her way through the unusually less supportive XWL Universe, and into the ring where she immediately shakes the hand of the host of this segment Chris Jericho and her music stops. What replaces it is just nothing but boos, and as she had tried to speak, they just get louder, and it's like there's thousands and thousands of Sasha Banks in attendance.



She tries to not let it bother her, but it is a hard thing to experience, obviously it's not something that ever happens so it's hard to not take it personally...but somehow she still keeps a smile on her face, even if she gives up on say anything for the moment and looks to the host of The Highlight Reel for perhaps a little help with this matter. Jericho turns his attention to the crowd and yells at them, pointing over at the Woman's Champion as he did.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
Would you please show our champion some respect?

This simple request only caused the Boston crowd to boo louder. Some cheers in there but for the most part, it was still the same boos that flooded the arena since the moment Natalya came out. The angered Intercontinental Champion shouts into his match once again.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
Don't you boo us, Boston!

Again, this made the crowd boo more which made Jericho laugh.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
You know what, Boston? When shit hits the fan there is a very good reason people always say how they wanna move to Canada and never Boston... because Boston is full of stupid, disrespectful swine like Sasha Banks.

The Intercontinental Champion ignored the crowd from here on out and turned his attention back to Natalya, the guest of the show who would be questioned, unlike this crowd who were supposed to sit back and watch.



[CHRIS JERICHO]
Natalya, I want to talk to you and address you before we bring Sasha Banks out here. I want a little one on one time with you so we can talk about what happened last week. You had a lot to say last week, didn't you? Your actions were a little uncharacteristic as you lashed out at our General Manager and gave her a piece of your mind. You're normally so much more soft-spoken and... respectful.. yet that's not the Natalya we saw last week. We saw this Natalya who's obsessed with making sure she steps into the ring with Sasha Banks at Final Stand. You fought so hard to keep her title championship match. You fought harder than I've seen you fight for most things in your career. You were assertive. You were aggressive. You were... obsessed?

Jericho paused. It looked like he was going to give Natalya a chance to answer his question but he quickly spoke up and into his microphone again.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
You know Sasha Banks brings out the best in you like no other. You know that Sasha Banks empowers you like no other. You know that Sasha Banks pushes you to a level no other woman can. Answer me this, Natalya. Am I right or am I wrong? You are almost as obsessed with facing Sasha as Sasha is with facing you. You love facing her. The addrenaline and personal tension between the two of you pushes you to the next level.



[Natalya]
Well first of all, these people are not stupid...nor are they disrespectful. They are loyal, and I can't fault them for that. Loyalty is important to me too, it's why whenever that loyalty is broken, I take it extremely personal. So if the fact that I am not the biggest fan of who Sasha has become, makes it impossible for all of you to not be fans of mine, then I'm sorry but I guess you won't be fans of me because I guarantee you when she comes out here she's going to push my buttons as she always does, and I'm going to say some pretty nasty things about her, so by all means if that makes you want to boo me, then boo...I won't apologize for my behavior, because if she's not going to why do I always have to be the one that is sorry? I'm sorry she invaded my home and assaulted my parents in front of me? I'm sorry she orchestrated a completely over the top means of betraying our friendship, where my Uncle was another casualty she decided to involve. I'm sorry that you feel the need to boo me simply because she's from Boston, as if that absolves her of every horrible thing she's put me through, and STILL continues to.

While she tried to reason with them, and explain herself in a logical way, there's still a portion that boos, to which she just nods, not really being phased by it and turns to Jericho to answer his question.



[Natalya]
I challenged this division to get on my level, to rise to the occasion and prove they were the best, that they were the opponent I hungered to meet on the grandest stage...and whether I like it or not, Sasha did that. She is the shadow standing across that ring from me in my dreams the last 8 years when I'd think about how much it would mean to walk into Final Stand again as Champion...how it'd be different this time, and the fact that our paths just never seem to stray far from one another is a testament to this connection we share. I was proud at one time to call her my friend, I felt a bond...but now the only thing that binds us, is hatred. And as much as I hate her, and how I behaved last week...I couldn't allow Layla to take away this match. We may bring out the absolute best in ourselves when we share this ring...but at the end of the day she is everything that is wrong with this business. Which is why she's the perfect challenger...I can face the worst of it, to prove that I AM the best...and I didn't have to lose myself, or my self respect, to do it.

That last line really upsets the crowd, the boos getting more intense as she stands there almost expecting that reaction given these are Sasha's people. She didn't outright say Sasha had, but it's heavily implied.



[Natalya]
Point blank, I am obsessed with ENDING this. With proving once and for all, why I have this title, and she...doesn't. Why I buried her alive, why I won The Elimination Chamber despite the fact that I started it, and she was the last to enter...why in our very first match I beat her. I said it last week, and I'll say it again, as much as she thinks she's the boss, this title proves who runs this division, and my true obsession is ensuring that it remains in good hands.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
I actually have one more question for you. You don't think the championship would be in good hands if Sasha Banks held it? You obviously don't agree with her actions and the two of you want a different division than the other, but you cannot take her passion for this business away from her. She has always come out here and put on the match of her life. You and a lot of others might not agree with who's hands that championship is but I honestly feel like the championship would be in the hands of someone who truly loves this business and wants to be the best wrestler possible. I'm a man who has crossed the line more times than most people in this business so I cannot hold what she's done against her, even if one of those things is mocking one of my late best friends who lied, cheated and stole his way to the top of this business.



[Natalya]
Maybe it's my hatred blinding me, or the shards of glass I might still have lodged in my eyes after she put me through a mirror 2 weeks ago...but no, I do not think she would be a good champion because a GOOD Champion in my eyes, is someone that puts this division before themselves. It's not about keeping this, it's about keeping it prestigious. About representing this division to the best of your ability, even if it means having your first defense take place inside a structure not only have you never been apart of, but no champion before you ever succeeded in. If Sasha were in my shoes, would she have taken that challenge head on, or would she have whined and complained about how unfair it was? I think we've seen enough Champions with that mentality, so as passionate as she may be...her passion lies true to one thing, herself...and that, that's not a Champion to me.




The Boston crowd erupts in cheers finally as the Boss of Boston finally gets introduced into the fray. Along with getting to see John Cena, most of the people in attendance came here for this woman. It was surely unusual for Sasha Banks to be cheered but more than likely, things would be back to normal next week when Anarchy is hosted in another city that'll boo Sasha Banks. Sasha walks out from behind the curtain with a whole lot of confidence in her step since this is her territory that she's walking into.



[COREY GRAVES]
I should've brought a pair of ear plugs. This is disgusting. Truly disgusting.

[MAURO RANALLO]
These fans love Sasha Banks. I can't fault them for cheering her. I remember back in back in '97 I would cheer for Bret Hart and the Hart Foundation because I was Canadian. I was proud that there were people out there representing us in such a spotlight. I support Natalya for other reasons but I understand where these fans are coming from.

[COREY GRAVES]
Did Bret Hart ever enter someone's home, break things and beat up their friend's father and mother?

Sasha Banks reaches the bottom of the entrance ramp and stops. Her theme music fades off until the only sound is of the fans in attendance. They have settled down a little but some of them are still acting a little rowdy for the Boss. To her left, she sees fans that are actually supporting her. To her right, the Boss sees the same thing. Fans that were actually happy to see her. It was quite the sight to see, even for Sasha herself. It brought a smile to her face which she didn't even try and hide. The Boss adjusts her grip on the microphone and lifts the microphone up close to her mouth so she wouldn't have to talk as loud.



[SASHA BANKS]
Nattie! You look a little uneasy right now. Do these fans bother you that much?

The Boss walks to the steps and begins to walk up them.

[SASHA BANKS]
Allow me be the first to welcome you to Boston! My hometown! The City of Champions!

Chris Jericho steps forward and interrupts before either of them can speak.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
I want to make one thing clear. There will be no fighting on my show. The Jeritron is far too expensive to replace and getting another carpet made of 100% pure Serengeti Yak hair would take me years of hard work. Let your freak fly when you leave my show. Do the two of you understand what I'm saying to the both of you?



Sasha steps betweens the ropes and joins the conversation between Jericho and Natalya.

[SASHA BANKS]
I understand completely. I think you need to watch out for Natalya though. We all saw how she lashed out last week against Layla. I'm sure she's dying to lash out again and get all that anger out. Aren't I right, Nattie?



[Natalya]
Oh, what's that? Thank you for saving your title match after you PUNCHED The General Manager? Oh, you're welcome, Sasha that's what best friends are for.

[SASHA BANKS]
She was asking for it! Not my fault she's getting involed in my bu-

[CHRIS JERICHO]
QUIET! QUIET! QUIET!

Jericho screams into the microphone. It cuts Sasha off and both women turn their attention to him.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
You came onto my show to be interviewed. Do not waste my time bickering because I have better things I could be doing. I could still be celebrating my Intercontinental Championship win but yet, here I am, for the two of you. Sasha Banks! I have a question for you.

[SASHA BANKS]
Lay it on me, Chris. I'm ready to go.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
If the roles were reversed, would you have done the same thing for Natalya? Would you have gone out of your way to make sure she stayed your number one contender when the person in charge was ready to strip her of what hse earned?

The question certainly intrigues the champion while the contender laughs but isn't able to produce an answer right away. Sasha glides her tongue over her lip as her lips oddly form in the shape of a smile. It was obviously an unexpected question, a good question, but one that caught her off guard until she finally lifted the microphone and answered it in her own way after hesitating some.

[SASHA BANKS]
Is that even a fair question? We all know Natalya would never lay her hands on the General Manager so you're asking a question that is impossible to answer since it'd never happen. Sami Zayn actually beating Dean Ambrose for the World Heavyweight Championship will happen before that and we all know that's not going to happen for a long while considering he uhh... he lost, didn't he? No more rematch for him, right? What an Alpha he is, huh?

It was obvious her answer bothered Jericho a little bit considering his fellow Alpha Club member was unsuccessful last week unlike him. He might not have said it into the microphone but anyone who was good at reading lips could make out him saying "shut your damn mouth" to her which, of course, only made Sasha smile a little wider. Jericho took a second to make sure his emotions wouldn't get the best of him since he had to be impartial in this situation. A deep breath of air in and he was ready to ask his next question.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
Next question. I want to discuss the friendship you guys shared back before everything between the two of you went to hell. It didn't start that way. It was a rocky start. I did some research on your history and I saw fake doctors notes that prevented one of you from competition among other things. Can you talk to us about those times? The early stages of the Legit Harts or Boss and Hart Connection as some fans had coined the two of you. Talk to us about what led you girls to where you are now. Better yet, I want the two of you to answer this: were you ever truly friends?

[SASHA BANKS]
We were friends. I was the student and she was the teacher. There was never anything fake about that.

Sasha turns her head to Natalya as she continues to answer him.



[SASHA BANKS]
We trained together. We traveled together. We ate lunch together before the show and then dinner together after the show. She was always the one who'd drag me back to my hotel room whenever I drank a little too much and couldn't handle myself anymore. You remember all of that, don't you? Because I remember all of it and I miss it and I so wish that you didn't have to be who you are because we could still have those things. I miss it because she was the best friend that a person could ask for and I cherished all the time I got to spend with her because I learned so much not just as a wrestler but as a person to. I learned about life on the road and how to survive because all of this was so new to me. I came into this business with an ego that I didn't deserve to have and Natalya was the woman who brought me down to earth and took me under her wing... and I can't thank her enough for that because I probably would've been like so many others had it not been for her. I would've come in here, made a splash and then been gone within a month.

Her grip on the microphone tightened as her face grew more serious.

[SASHA BANKS]
Then I had a realization one day: I wasn't the student anymore. I was the face of this division while Natalya was sitting in her own pools of tears because she couldn't win a damn thing to save her life. I was the one beating April when no one in this entire division could. I was the biggest star of this division yet here's the thing... I never really felt like I was because I know the second Natalya said she was sorry and that things would be different next time, people would be all over her again and that was always the case. Arenas full of people would be chanting 'SASHA BANKS!' but deep down inside, they wanted to be chanting for Natalya because she was THE woman of this division to them. I was embarrassed that my best friend couldn't win anything and that I would always have to come behind her and mop up her tears. I was tired of being treated as second place. No one wants to be second place, right? Second place sucks and I knew what I deserved and what I deserved was to be number one because that's what I am. Deep down, I know I'm number one - I'm the best. Final Stand X is where I prove that.



[Natalya]
Maybe you didn't feel like the biggest star of this division because it lasted for all of 28 days.

As expected, Boston boos that statement quite heavily but it doesn't deter Natalya from continuing.

[Natalya]
You weren't ready, and I know all of these people disagree and they are entitled to their opinion but so am I. You, and everyone else may have placed me on this pedestal, but the only thing I was "first" in, was knowing who I was, and what I stood for. You didn't stand for anything, just yourself. That is the problem, that is why Women like you peak fast and fall even faster, you think you're owed the world, that because people chant your name you can do no wrong...but THAT is when you make the first mistake of a long line of mistakes. You thought you weren't going to be like the others, that I had "saved" you from that fate...that I was the teacher and you the willing student, but you weren't willing. Every single time I tried to steer you in the right direction, you wanted to do things your way, and as your friend above all else...I respected you for wanting to follow your own path to what you wanted in life. I knew you weren't fully convinced, that's why you kept trying to change me along the way, tell me to be this, to do that, to justify your actions by trying to get me to repeat them. You refused to believe that April had changed, had been "reformed" because, and here's the truth of the matter, you knew you hadn't yourself.

The audience again boos her words quite adamantly, but you can tell it isn't something she wanted to say or feel, but given everything that's transpired between them it is what she believes. It was obvious that the words from Natalya were getting under the Boss' skin. From the look on her face to the redness in her knuckles from how tightly she began to hold the microphone. She wanted to say something but it seemed like Natalya had more to say to further rub salt into the open would the Boss was feeling.

[Natalya]
You questioned her legitimacy, because you knew you, as much as you told yourself, and everyone else every chance you got, weren't legit with who you were, or what you felt. You called it an "act" because you yourself were playing a role, and you refused to own that. You passed it off on her because you saw a scapegoat to say everything you felt all this time through your own failures...and when she beat you, AGAIN. You couldn't handle the realization that it wasn't everyone else that was the problem, it was you...because you hadn't been honest with me, with them, but especially yourself. You wanted to be the one that everyone loved, so you hitched yourself to the girl you viewed as someone that could take you there, you thought by association you would surpass me because you could "get it done." But then even you became what you saw me as, an embarrassment. So that's the root of why you "vanished" after April shattered the reality in your head that you were better than her, and everyone else...because you started to realize all along that what you were doing wasn't working, and instead of simply coming to me, as your friend...and being open about what you had felt, and the things you TRIED to be but hadn't fully become...you ignored me. You ignored everyone, I called you, I tried everything to get into contact with you because I could see that loss had shaken something in you, and as your BEST FRIEND...I cared about you. I wanted to know you were okay, that you had seen me pick myself up off the floor so much that you would know it isn't easy, but it's possible. But you didn't have that strength, which is what makes you SECOND to ME!



[Natalya]
I struggled for 2,945 days to keep my head up, to hold onto who I was and who I wanted to be...you think it wouldn't have been easier to slam a chair over your head or someone else's and abandon all of that for a quick "buzz" to get my name in everyone's mouth? Of course, it would have, but what would that have accomplished? What did YOU accomplish from that? NOTHING! You got BURIED, literally...ALIVE. Because you were WEAK, and you gave in to temptation, that voice within that tells you the wrong path to take, and YOU took it. That's not on me, or the second hand "embarrassment" you felt, it's on YOU and nothing else. And the fact that you still have the audacity to stand here tonight and play the victim, after EVERY HORRIBLE THING you have done to me? Is why you lost before, it's why you lost before that, and it's why you are going to lose again.

Finally, it looked like Natalya was done with her answer to the question. Even Chris Jericho was slightly surprised by the answer considering Natalya dug Sasha yet another grave by calling her out on everything that she's ever done. Chris approached Sasha, his microphone still in hand and asked her a question.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
Do you have anything you want to add?

Despite his want to be mutual, Jericho took some pleasure in Banks' annoyance. She slowly turned her eyes to him and looked at him with pure hatred at this point. Her microphone was slowly brought up and she only said two little words that truly showed how she was feeling at this very moment.

[SASHA BANKS]
Next question.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
Alright! Please, turn your attention to the Jeritron 6500 then.

The Jeritron 6500 removes the Highlight Reel logo and begins to play a video clip marked Emergence 2017. It was the night before Sasha Banks turned her back on her best friend and slammed a steel chair over her head. Natalya was in the middle of an interview with Renee Young, preparing for the Money in the Bank ladder match before she was interrupted by the returning Sasha Banks. The two of them exchanged words. Fast forward to later in the show, after the ladder match, where Sasha Banks was with Natalya after yet another defeat. Their main event match-up was made official and Natalya was in high spirits because of her friend. She said "Thank you, Sasha, I don't know what I'd do without you, you're such a good friend to me" while Sasha replied with one word: "Always." We head back to the ring and Sasha Banks has her head ducked and Jericho is almost laughing considering the irony in the statement Sasha Banks made that night.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
ALWAYS! The two of you will always be friends said from the mouth of the Boss herself. I think we have a LIAR in this very ring and it's not me... and it's not Natalya... which mean it must be you, Sasha Banks. You are a dirty liar because you knew what was going to happen on Anarchy, didn't you? You already had everything planned out and I have one question to ask you... was it worth it? Would you go back in time and change things?

[SASHA BANKS]
I...

Sasha turns her head and looks at Natalya and stares at her for a moment.

[SASHA BANKS]
I... am number one contender, so why don't you tell me? Because in a few weeks I'm going to be MAIN EVENTING Final Stand against the most dominant woman this roster has to offer. I might not have picked up many wins since turning my back on Natalya. My stock was at an all-time low for the longest time. For a while, yeah, I thought that maybe I messed up. When I was sitting in the hospital bed for a couple of months wondering when I'll be able to wrestle again, yeah, I questioned if it was worth it or not. That's when I questioned if I would be able to wrestle again. That if I wasn't able to then it was all my fault and I had no one else to blame... but as I stand here the number one contender for that championship with the biggest woman's match this company has ever seen waiting for me at Final Stand... I know now that yes, everything that has happened to us for far has been worth it because we weren't meant to be friends. We were meant for this. We were meant to be opponents. We were meant to be rivals. As friends, we were pretty good... but I'd like to say we've been better opponents. Don't you think, Nat? I mean, we've elevated this division to heights no one has ever been able to reach. We are making headlines and doing things that were unthinkable and that's because of us. Whether you want to admit or not, we do want the same goal. We want what's best for the division and there's no denying that the main event of Final Stand is what's best for us, is it not?

[Natalya]
See, there you go again, it's only about the attention to you, isn't it? You act out, all in the name of getting people talking, but they're talking for the wrong reasons...however, I can't lie...it, it would be a dream come true. A dream that no one in this division, or outside of it has ever felt was tangible because it's not something that's ever been done. So we play it safe and throw whatever The World Title Match is in that slot, but this event is 10 years in the making, and The Women's Division has made a lot of progress, we've shattered expectations, we've proven we are equal to anyone back there regardless of gender. It is about talent, and it is about being the best and being what is deserving of that spotlight. As someone that hasn't ever had my Final Stand moment...to be able to be apart of the first female headlined Final Stand is...it's an amazing feeling to believe it's not so hard to imagine anymore.

The audience hasn't backed a bit of what Natalya's said tonight, but this is a complete 180. It is undeniable cheers in support of what is being discussed right now, the idea that Final Stand X becomes memorable for one more big reason, and that is the first female headlined Main-Event for The Women's Championship.

[Natalya]
I think you don't play it safe at an event branded "the showcase of the immortals" and with respect to everyone else back there...I think NOW is the time to pull the trigger, and whether I agree with it or not, or like it even...the acclaim our story has had previously, those that enjoy seeing us at odds, says that this is our next step...clashing for The Women's Championship, in The Main-Event of Final Stand.

As the cheers continue to get louder, Natalya and Sasha both look to the sign hanging in the distance...they've been through a lot in their 3 years since knowing each other...and everything that's happened has led up to this point. Even through their burning hatred for one another, you know that this is always the hope that any performer back there, but especially The Women have always had...and we're at a point in time where a rivalry in The Women's Division, a match-up between two Women has captivated us throughout their experiences together every step of the way, from friends to foes, that it is worthy of that right.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
Speaking from experience, as someone who has main evented Final Stand with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line, in a match I won, you need to understand what you are getting yourself into. You will be the match on the most important show of the year. You have to outperform everyone on that card before you because if you don't... then people are going to ask why... why were they given the main event? Which will lead me to my next question: what would set this apart from any of your previous encounters? What are you going to do to make this worthy of being the match to end the show? Would you choose a special match type? Would you push yourself to your limits? What's going to be different?

[SASHA BANKS]
Umm... I'm going to win this time?

The crowd pops as they clearly show their favortism heading into the match. Obviously, Sasha was the one they wanted to walk out champion and they continued to make that loud and clear.

[SASHA BANKS]
I don't know what else to tell you because that's going to be the main difference compared to all the other times we've fought. I'm going to beat her and I'm going to become your new XWL Woman's Champion. It doesn't matter the match type you throw at me because I feel more ready than ever before. Nothing thrown at me could surprise me. I'm ready.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
I didn't ask a softball question, Banks, so I want a real answer. What's going to be different?

[SASHA BANKS]
Well, I wanted to be on Miz TV but we can't always get what we want.

An argument begins to insue between the number one contender and the Intercontinental Champion. Yet again, it's Alpha Club versus Bullet Club except for this time they were engaging in a war of words rather than beating the hell out of each other. It seems like he had some respect to not hit a woman even though Sasha would gladly fight a man if she had to. This lasted until Natalya interrupted them.

[Natalya]
And I wanted someone that put our friendship before this business, so I guess you're right about one thing, Sasha. We can't "always" get what we want...but unfortunately for you...when it comes to our match at Final Stand? That's EXACTLY what I'm going to get. You see, while you two bicker about potential match types to "bump" things up as if it's even necessary at this point...I've already taken matters into my own hands. Do you remember how I revealed that Layla was originally going to let me name my opponent at Final Stand? Well, I may have forgotten to mention one tiny little thing...

As Sasha's curiosity is peaked, Jericho himself scratches his chin, curious as to what that is. Natalya looks around with a sly smirk before continuing.

[Natalya]
I also get to name the TYPE of match.

The Boss seems caught off guard by this, but hey she said it already, it doesn't matter what type of match it is, she's going to win. So the fact that Natalya gets to choose isn't going to change that, right?

[Natalya]
It's incredible isn't it? After having the worst experience imaginable 8 years ago, I get to create my own picture perfect night. Defeating you, again...but this time? It's not just personal? It's the embodiment of the phrase, HELL..hath no fury like a woman scorned. You have routinely disrespected me, not just me, but my namesake, my family, everything about me you have torn to shreds and why? Because putting me through hell makes you feel good? Taking pleasure in my misfortune comes so easy to you, and after all this time I tried to understand it, to make sense of everything...to feel the way you do, and I tried to fight it...to rise above it, to not let it bother me...but after all this time, time hasn't healed my wounds, because every single time they're close to being closed...you open them up again.

Even though a normal crowd would support Natalya's words, this crowd is still not having any of it, standing by their hometown girl and booing Natalya for daring to speak the truth and speak ill of their beloved "Boss" of Boston.

[Natalya]
Even back at the end of 2017, when we were set to clash in a Buried Alive Match...I couldn't flip the switch without some remnants of hope lingering that maybe it didn't have to come to this, maybe I COULD still reason with you, or salvage the humanity that may still be left in you, that I didn't have to lose some of my own to bury the hatchet you drove in my back. But it's funny how perspective can change, isn't it? Because when I stare at you right now, that switch has already flipped itself, there's no hope, let alone desire to salvage anything because there's nothing to salvage. You threw everything away without hesitation, you relentlessly put me through pure unimaginable hell...and now? It's my turn!

Jericho seems quite amused by the situation Sasha's found herself in. After all, she's apart of The Bullet Club, and The Bullet Club is public enemy number one of The Alpha Club. Sasha acts if she's un-phased by Natalya's admission, but her eyes tell a different story. Natalya points to herself, before looking off to the sign that reads "Final Stand X" and then back to Chris seemingly ready to reveal the type of match their clash at Final Stand for The Women's Championship will be.



[Natalya]
So, Chris, here's a little exclusive reveal for The Highlight Reel. The next step for Sasha Banks versus Natalya is finishing this once and for all in HELL...in a CELL!

The crowd actually exploded in a wave of cheers at the announcement made by the Woman's Champion. The shocking announcement completely unexpected by everyone in the arena including the other two in that ring. Jericho's face was a mixture of excitement and shock while Sasha... Sasha was a completely different story. She was shocked... but not in a good way. She was far from excited about the idea of stepping inside the Hell in a Cell structure with Natalya. Jericho noticed this and quickly went on the attack with questions.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
It's almost like things are coming full circle, eh? I remember when you cost Natalya the championship inside that structure. I think we should pull up some footage from that ni-

[SASHA BANKS]
NO. We don't need to do that.

[CHRIS JERICHO]
And why shouldn't we? I mean, you're going to be locked inside Hell in a Cell itself, the very structure where you robbed Natalya of becoming Women's Champion back at The Slammy Award, with the Woman's Championship on the line. I think the fans want to take a glimpse at what happened a couple months ago and...

[SASHA BANKS]
And what, Chris? What do you want me to say?

It's almost like Sasha snapped as the continued remarks from the Intercontinental Champion bothered her to the point where she had to stand up for herself and say something.

[SASHA BANKS]
I'm a little scared and nervous? Of course, I am. I'm human and I know what it's like to hurt... and I know what Natalya is capable of in big match situations nowadays. She won her championship inside a steel cage. She defended her championship inside Elimination Chamber. All the signs point to me losing because I am stepping into her comfort zone - her very own Hart Dungeon made of cold, unforgiving steel. I understand that she's the dangerous one in this match. The roles are reversed and I'm the underdog in this fight.... but behind all that is a sense of pride because... You can say what you want about my actions over the last two weeks. You can say that I've crossed the line and I've done these unethical things that shouldn't be excused... but I've gotten people talking.

Sasha seemed a little calmer now as she approached the champion a little closer.

[SASHA BANKS]
People are talking about the woman's division more than ever before. WE are getting people talking because WE are the hottest rivalry this division has seen in a long, long time. You and April had this spark but we've set this company on fire. We are going to be MAIN EVENTING Final Stand inside Hell in a Cell and that's our reality. It was Layla's dream. It was April's dream. It was Michelle McCool's dream... but this is our reality. You can dislike me and my actions all you want but guess who's gonna be standing tall at the end of the show: one of us. That's who. Not Dean Ambrose. Not Matt Sydal. Not AJ Styles. Not even Chris Jericho over there. It's going to be us. We deserve this... I deserve this... and you? You deserve this too. Yeah, I said it and I'm not ashamed of it. You deserve this too. You deserve the main event.

Is that... a smile coming onto Sasha's face? Before we can be too sure, it appears short lived as within an instant, The Boss quickly throws a strike Natalya's way! But as her fist flies at Natalya's face, The Women's Champion catches it in the palm of her hand, as if she knew it was coming, as if she never fell for Sasha's "kind" words for even a second. Sasha immediately freaks out, on a normal opponent she could pull this trick and succeed...but Natalya knows Sasha too well for this cheap shot to have ever had a chance in hell of landing. The Queen of Harts shakes her head and yells "PAYBACKS A BITCH!" before releasing Sasha's fist, then quickly grabbing her Number One Contender by her neon locks, and with every bit of her force she sends a helpless Sasha on a one one way trip THROUGH The Jeritron 6500!

Jericho screams out as if harm befell one of his own children "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" while Sasha crashes into the monitor, shards of it flying everywhere almost like when Sasha threw Natalya into a mirror backstage 2 weeks ago. The Boss plummets to the mat screaming in pain, flailing around the canvas like a fish out of water, all while Natalya stands there with a cold look across her face.

[MAURO RANALLO]
Natalya just threw Sasha through the Jeritron 6500!

[COREY GRAVES]
I think Natalya said it best, she just issued a return to The Boss for what she did to her 2 weeks ago.

Boston is LIVID, roaring at the top of their lungs over what Natalya did to one of their own. In her defense, Sasha started it, but there's no defending her case to Boston they've been against her the entire night and so as she stands there towering over a now motionless Sasha Banks, she doesn't look around at anyone in the audience, or even Jericho himself as he has an emotional breakdown, falling to his knees, clutching a larger piece of the Jeritron 6500. Natalya did what she had to do, in the past she would have restrained herself, try to be the "better" Woman but we're so far past that now, she set their clash for The Women's Championship inside Hell in a Cell because she's been put through nothing but hell from Sasha, and this now her time to repay every last bit of it. She doesn't just want to beat her, to retain her title, she wants to destroy her, to rip her to shreds, to make what she did at Buried Alive look like child's play in comparison.

[MAURO RANALLO]
To think these two were once the best of friends...and now, their journey has led to this...Hell in a Cell, for The Women's Championship, the top two females in this division battle it out on the grandest stage of them all.

[COREY GRAVES]
Personal doesn't even begin to describe their issues, and with two week's left until they meet at the showcase of the immortals, at this rate they're liable to kill each other before that night even arrives.

Natalya steps over shards of The Jeritron 6500, and re-positions herself so that she's standing directly over Sasha's body, then lifts The Women's Championship up with both hands, high above her head, as her eyes glare down at the woman below her. This is a different Natalya than we saw heading into Final Stand last year, 2018 has seen her rise to unseen heights, and now she towers over her Number One Contender, perhaps as a symbol of what she believes will come at Final Stand when all is said and done. Boston continues to let her have it, as she pridefully stands over their hero, before we fade away.  

Normal Match




*Anarchy resumes to the sight of a referee climbing into the ring.  The fans go beserk for some unknown reason and jump out of their seats!  The camera zooms in and it's none other than Johnny Gargano wearing the black and white stripes!  Gargano looks around at the XWL Universe with a grin on his face.*

[Corey Graves]
What the-?  What is he doing here?!

[Mauro Ranallo]
What is who doing here Corey?  He's the match official.  And he's making his debut here tonight.  Iamnott J. Gargano, hailing from Poland!

[Corey Graves]
What?  That's clearly Johnny Gargano!  He shouldn't be here!  He was fired by The Miz!  He's bound by the law not to be inside an XWL ring!

[Mauro Ranallo]
I agree he bears an uncanny resemblence to Johnny Gargano, but this is Iamnott J. Gargano!  He's Johnny Gargano's Polish cousin!

[Corey Graves]
I just... I can't believe you right now Mauro!  That's Johnny Gargano!  Just listen to this crowd!  Think about that name!  It's as fake as our President's hair!

*Gargano raises his hand up to his forehead and looks around at the fans as they begin a "Johnny Reffing!" chant which causes him to chuckle to himself.*

[Corey Graves]
This is an outrage!  Someone call security!  And how many jobs does this guy have?

[Mauro Ranallo]
I think you need to calm down and stop disrespecting our newest match official!

[Corey Graves]
You're unbelievable!  That's Johnny Gargano!  He shouldn't be here!





[Jojo]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall!  Making his way to the ring, from Hollywood, California... weighing in at 221 lb... THE MIZ!

*The Miz makes his way out on to the stage to an overwhelmingly negative reaction.  The XWL Universe have not forgotten what he has done to Gargano over the past couple of months, making his life a living hell.  Miz appears to be in the dark when it comes to the identity of the referee of this match, as he doesn't react unusually during his entrance.*

[Corey Graves]
I don't think The Miz realises that Johnny is in the ring right now...

[Mauro Ranallo]
I think you're the one that's being unbelievable Corey.  You have this intense hatred of Johnny Gargano... so much so that you're seeing him everywhere!

[Corey Graves]
What?  He IS in the ring right now Mauro!  Clean your glasses... And he IS everywhere!  First he was working for a limo company... then he was a pizza delivery guy... then he was an actor and ruined The Miz's movie... and now he's an XWL Official?  When will this ever end?!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Like I told you, this is Johnny Gargano's Polish cousin - Iamnott J. Gargano!

[Corey Graves]
I can't-... This is just-...

*The Miz who has now neared the ring has recognized the referee.  He takes off his sunglasses to get a clearer view before the fury takes over.  He enters the ring and gets right into the face of Gargano*

[The Miz]
What the hell are you doing here?!  Stop following me!  Get out of this ring right now!

*Almost nose to nose in the face of the raging Miz, Gargano is unfazed.  He calmly steps back and points at the XWL logo on his referee shirt and tells The Miz to calm down.  Miz again gets right into his face and begins a crazed rant until he's interrupted by the sound of his opponent arriving.*



[Jojo]
And his opponent... being accompanied by Jimmy Uso... from San Francisco, California... weighing in at 228 lb... JEY USO!



*The Usos emerge and begin their stride down the entrance ramp, all the while assessing the volatile situation awaiting them.  There is a strange look of excitement upon Jey Uso's face as he realises that The Miz's head is definitely not in this match given the spanner being thrown in the works by Gargano.  He turns to his brother and cups his hand over his ear whispering something to him.  Jimmy nods and the two fist bump, before Jimmy turns back and begins to exit.*

[Mauro Ranallo]
It looks like Jey Uso is going alone here tonight!

[Corey Graves]
He's an opportunist!  Both of The Usos are!  Didn't you see how they gained their XWL contracts?  This match is arguably the biggest of Jey Usos career.  He's setting foot inside the ring with one of the all-time greats in The Miz!  A former World Heavyweight Champion no less!  What a victory will do - especially on his own - for his career cannot be understated if he was to defeat The Miz right here tonight.  And as you can see, the odds are clearly stacked against The Miz in this match-up!

[Mauro Ranallo]
Corey, I seriously think you need to calm down and see a shrink!

[Corey Graves]
Calm down?!  This is a travesty!  This is pure injustice if I've ever seen it!  This is so... so wrong on every level!  The Miz is about to get screwed!  Gargano is making his life a living hell!  

[Mauro Ranallo]
Well, they do say what goes around comes around...

*Jey Uso enters the ring and Gargano calls for the bell even though Miz is still right in his face.  The bell rings as Miz continues to pretty much scream in Gargano's face.  All the while, Gargano stands there completely unfazed by Miz's verbal onslaught.*

*Uso scratches his head momentarily before shrugging his shoulders in a comical fashion.  He approaches The Miz and quickly rolls him up from behind.  Gargano slides into position as quick as a flash...*


1..





2..





3!


*Jey Uso WINS!  Jey Uso defeats The Miz!*



*As Miz pops out of the cover following the three count the look on his face is one of complete and utter shock.  Uso quickly rolls out of the ring.  The fans are going crazy at what just transpired.*

[Corey Graves]
See!  I told you!  That was a fast count if I ever saw one!

[Mauro Ranallo]
The Miz was rattled by the presence of Johnny Gargano's cousin and took his eye off the ball.  He can expect no less!  It was a very impressive debut by Iamnott here tonight as he was in the perfect position to make the count!

[Corey Graves]
For the last time THAT IS NOT HIS COUSIN!

*As Jey Uso begins his slow exit up the ramp with a smirk on his face, The Miz quickly replaces his shock with a look of murderous intent.  He turns around to find that Gargano has already exited the ring and is stood amongst the electric XWL Universe who are loving this.  Gargano waves at The Miz before turning and starting to climb the stairs towards the exit.  Miz quickly follows in hot pursuit.  He leaps the barricade and starts sprinting towards the exit where Gargano disappeared a few moments ago.*

[Corey Graves]
What we just saw... I truly think it could be the biggest screwjob in history!  Bigger than Montreal!

[Mauro Ranallo]
And you call me unbelievable...

*The "Johnny Reffing!" chant begins to echo around the arena again before the screen fades to a commercial break.*

Roman Reigns has done it! Roman Reigns has defeated Matt Sydal and Rusev in triple threat action! Boston fans aren't too thrilled to see the Big Dog standing tall and it only grows worse as Roman begins to climb the turnbuckle. His arms are raised high in the air as he celebrates his win over the Gold Standard of this company and for the second week in a row over the Bulgarian Brute.



When Roman climbs down from the middle turnbuckle, he turns his attention to Renee Young who's joined him in the ring. Renee Young is ready and already throwing a question in his direction.



[RENEE YOUNG]
Roman Reigns! Congratulations on your wi-

Roman cuts Renee off by taking the microphone from her hand.



Roman holds the microphone but doesn't speak yet. He spins the microphone around in his hand and looks out to the crowd. Then he looks back over to Renee. The microphone is lifted again.

[ROMAN REIGNS]
I'm just going to stop you right there. I've got it from here.



[ROMAN REIGNS]
Seth Rollins. I wanna talk about him and what he did two weeks ago. Two weeks ago, Seth Rollins took it upon himself to even the odds. He called in his pesky little security force and caught us by surprise. He's trying to fight the fight and I'll give it to him. It's respectable that he's not willing to give up so easily... but it's stupid and foolish of him. This isn't a fight that he can win and his little security won't be there to help him for long. Take a look at the two men I beat tonight and then take a look at J&J Security. Tonight, I beat two world-class athletes and I did it with barely breaking a sweat. Have me step in that ring with two little cruiserweight nobodies and it's gonna be a different story. The Big Dog is going to be pushing around those little pups like they're nothing. I'm gonna chew them up and I'm gonna spit them up and leave them at Seth Rollins' doorstep. Seth Rollins thinks he might've evened the field but here's the reality, Renee.



[ROMAN REIGNS]
J&J are going to get hurt. They're going to be put in the hospital for a long time. They're going to regret ever showing their faces in my yard. J&J Security's blood is going to be on his hands, figuratively and literally, and there ain't nobody goin' to stop us from doing what we gotta do. Like Uce said, this ain't gang warfare. This is just personal.

Roman hands the microphone back to Renee and his theme begins to play as we head to commercial break.

Normal Match


Non-Title

[Mauro Ranallo]
He did it! Dean has done it again!

[Corey Graves]
My god how long can his luck last?!

Dean is handed his titles and he kisses them both. He holds them high into the air evoking a strong positive reaction from the crowd. Dean looks down at the fallen form of Evil. He aims his fingers in the shape of a gun at him and fires. He drops down to his back and rolls out of the ring. The champion makes his way up the ramp with a giant smile on his face

[Mauro Ranallo]
With Dean putting away both Sami and Evil, all we can ask is what's next for him so close to Final Stand?

Eli Drake walks out onto the stage with a microphone in hand.

[Eli Drake]
Cut the music... Cut the music.

Anger is written on the face of Eli Drake as he stands there at the top of the stage.

[Eli Drake]
So Kenny Omega comes back, and no one thinks to tell me. Kenny and I have some unfinished business, and I am getting tired of waiting. You know it's quite embarrassing for you to call yourself elite, because if you were. We would have finished this Best of Seven weeks ago, but no you decided to run, and hide as you knew you were going to lose. Kenny, lets face it. You did the old ice the kicker trick. Making me wait to psych myself out so when we finally cross paths within the ring. He may have some slight edge, but let me tell you this Kenny. That is the oldest trick in the book, and it doesn't effect me.

Eli begins walking down the ramp, but still speaking.

[Eli Drake]
Look, I have respect for you man in ring what you can do, but you play these stupid mind games that end up coasting you your match. Seriously look at your past Kenny. Every major opportunity you have ever had you have fell short here. You have never been on the receiving end of success. When will it finally set in that you can run from your fights? I stand here, and fight, and fight every week to prove that I am good as I say I am. I am The Elite Superstar of XWL. I show up every single week ready for competition with no hesitation while you Kenny. You are scared to lose "lowering your stock". I mean the biggest moment in your career thus far is pinning but you are not gonna do it again. Not because you don't have the ability, but because I am not gonna letcha!

The audience gives Eli a mixed reaction as he stands in the center of the ring with his arms out, proving a point to Kenny and the people in attendance.

Suddenly, a man's knee is seen soaring in from behind, crashing into Eli's back. Eli drops to the mat in front of him. With his face to the mat, Eli has no choice but to try and cover the rest of his head with his forearms and hands as a man rains punches down on Eli.

As we get a better look at the attacker, we see it is none other than Eli Drake's rival Kenny Omega. Kenny wears a black hooded sweatshirt, black denim jeans, and white sneakers. He stands up and begins using those white sneakers to kick away at Eli's rib cage.

The audience begins to buzz even louder as we see three men rush toward the ring. As they quickly enter, Kenny bolts away from Eli and hops between the top and middle ropes. We see Brian Cage, Mike Rayne, and Tyrus in the ring. Three large men that Kenny obviously wants no part of. As they shout profanities Kenny's way, Kenny is shown sadistically grinning ear-to-ear. He backs up the ramp, nodding his head in approval of his own actions.

In the ring, we see Eli being helped to his feet by Tyrus while Cage and Rayne keep an eye on Kenny. To his feet now, Eli pushes Tyrus away. He nudges between Brian Cage and Mike Rayne until he stands in front of them now. Cage hands Drake his microphone that fell during the assault.

[Eli Drake]
You want a piece of me Kenny? You want to fight... well with the biggest paper view is just two weeks away, and I'm thinking that we do match seven at Final Stand, but that isn't it Kenny. I think something needs to be more on the line here. You are undefeated in these Best of Seven matches, but I am also undefeated in a match type. How about for match seven we fight in a Two Out of Three Falls match? Then I will prove to you just how damn good I really am, and how I am in a league of my own. While you Kenny are beneath me no questions asked!

Eli throws down the mic, and walks to the set of ropes closest to Kenny. As the last thing we see is a wide shot of Kenny, and Eli staring down each other until we go to a commercial.

There is no lighting effect nor spectacular entrance. Instead we watch as Chad Gable, dressed in a hoodie and his singlet underneath comes walking down to the ring, the look of fire and hate in his eyes. He storms around it, grabbing a mic and then jumps into the ring, looking around at the crowd before up to the stage.

[Chad Gable]
I'm not a guy who just shows up for a pay check. I'm not a guy who enjoys just beating people up. I'm a guy who loves wrestling. But last week, Chris Sabin walked into my home, and beat down the man that taught me everything I have ever known. I have never, ever, been that disrespected. My father is in the hospital, moved finally out of ICU but now, I'm going to fill that spot with another.

Chad Gable points right up the stage, yelling to the back.

"CHRIS SABIN, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!"

He paces for a moment, not getting a response. This causes him to bring the mic back up to his mouth.

[Chad Gable]
Of course not, why would you want the ass whoopin' of a life time? Just goes to show that Sabin is just as much of a coward as Alex Shelley. Why don't you pack your bags and go to Japan too? That all Machine Guns are good for around here is a failed attempt at a tag team division jumpstart and begging for the lime light when they sure as hell don't deserve it!



HAIL SABIN!


Without a moments hesitation, Sabin's theme begins to play, causing a negative reaction to fall across the stage for the Detroit native. A few seconds pass before Sabin emerges from the back, seated in his wheelchair on the stage while begin flanked by his personal security guards on either side of him. His eyes have been locked onto Chad Gable, who has begun to pace back and forth once again, almost anticipating the impending confrontation. Sabin raises the microphone up from his lap and towards his mouth but not a single sound escapes his lips, his eyes still locked onto the man in the ring. He slowly lowers his microphone and raises his left hand in the shape of an unknown gesture, causing the security guard in charge of the wheelchair to begin rolling Sabin down the entrance ramp and down towards the ring, the remaining security getting into a formation and following suit.

Upon reaching the bottom of the ramp, Sabin is helped out of his chair by two of the security guards and is places on the apron, using the ropes to keep himself vertical before he's handed his crutches. He slowly but surely enters the ring, making one more gesture towards them, which causes them to almost question his decision for a moment before they follow his orders and begins making their way back up the entrance ramp and towards the backstage area, leaving Sabin to shift his attention to the other man in the ring in Chad Gable.


Chris Sabin
How DARE you speak his name in vain! I see respect isn't something that's taught in the Gable household and yet here you are, trying to gain the sympathy of the people by saying you have never been so disrespected in your life, then you turn around and try to disrespect the greatest tag team not only this company, but the entire world has seen. You just love irony, don't you?


Chris Sabin
Ever since I returned, the only thing you've done other than try to tarnish the legacy of the Intercontinental Championship is prove me right every chance you got. Since day one, I've said that you were nothing more than a failure, a glorified coward and a disappointment to not only these people, but also your father. And you have the nerve to call ME the coward? If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. Correct me if I'm wrong here, Gable, but weren't you the one that broke into MY home and assaulted me while I was in a wheelchair before putting me through my own wall? Weren't you the one that attacked me after I did what you could not and beat Shinsuke Nakamura in the center of this ring before putting me through that announcers table?


Chris Sabin
You can claim to be as heroic as you'd like, you can claim that it makes your attacks on me justified because you attacked me “from the front,” but the fact of the matter is this: it doesn't matter how much you distort the facts, it doesn't matter if you omit some specifics, you are nothing more than a hypocrite who brought this upon yourself. In my infinite wisdom, I have decided to give you a golden opportunity tonight, an opportunity to show these people you call your “fans” what kind of man you truly are, an opportunity to show your father what kind of man you truly are, if you even are a man at all.


Sabin releases his grip from around the microphone, causing it to fall with a light thud onto the canvas before extending his arms outwards, just far enough to keep his balance while on the crutches and maintain his upright stance. A brief staredown ensues for a few moments between bitter rivals before Sabin breaks the momentary silence between them when he mouths out “I dare you” towards Gable, who is seemingly deciding his next course of action internally. Instead of resorting to physical blows almost immediately, he opts to raise the microphone up to his mouth.


[Chad Gable]
You faked an injury Sabin, that's what kind of man you are. The same kind of man that attacks my father. Who does that? Not a man. That's why I feel no more remorse towards you Chris. This here, is just another trick. I'll prove it.

Gable turns around, exposing his back to Sabin and extending his arms. A few moments pass before Gable turns back around.

[Chad Gable]
Then that makes this just that much sweeter Chris because you didn't care if my dad could defend himself. So why should I care if you can defend yourself? Let's ask someone else? Would everyone here tonight like for me to beat Chris Sabin within an inch of his life?

The crowd pops as Gable does another turn to the crowd. This one was a mistake. A loud crack is heard as a crutch is swung, crashing into the back of Gable's neck. Gable hits the mat, Sabin just able to catch himself with the other crutch to steady his footing. He stands over Gable, looking around at the crowd as the boos begin to chorus in. Sabin bends over slowly to grab the mic from the mat, picking it up and speaking into it.


Chris Sabin
Gable, this ends at Final Stand. You and me, one on one.

Sabin tosses the mic down onto Gable, hobbling away from the unconcious hero of the people. The camera zooms in on Gable showing his face before cutting to commercial break.

*After another jam packed night of XWL action we fade to black as the tron lights up with nothing but a table of bandages laying in a stack. Then a shadow walks toward the camera but before you can make out any distinguishable features the cloaked figure turns a corner and begins speaking.*

???
The fabric of society as we know it is only hanging on by a single thread. We are all too invested in our worldly possessions that we never stop and help the fellow man in need. No wed rather watch them squirm and beg and then post it on the internet.

*Yes!*

*As the cloacked figure walks around you can see what appears to be sunglasses in a very dark lit room. But thats all you can see is the reflection of the glasses as he continues to speak*

???
Those things that your parents or loves ones told you to not act on I am those. Every little piece of you that has any kind of doubt about doing bad things to someone? I am those things. I am those thoughts. Its time i peel back the curtain and show this world just how disfigured It is and It will become.

*Yes!*

*Hes basically speaking in riddles but after every statement you can hear a faint "Yes!" in the background getting louder each time. He now Walks up to the camera and makes it eye level and you see a man with inked skin and a trench coat holding more bandages as he offers one final statement*

???
If there was any semblance of righteous left in this universe well then I am here to eviscerate it. Everyone ponders the question "Why"? I retort with the question "Why Not"? The "Herald of Doomsday" is here and its time for everyone to pay the toll.

*Yes!*

*The figure picks up the remaining bandages on the table then drops them to the floor as he walks away just saying YES! YES! YES! each one more faint then the one before. As the arena and everyone in it was left speechless a chill is in the air.

Corey Graves
What exactly was that? The "Herald of Doomsday?" What does that even? What? I am so confused Mauro.

Mauro Ranallo
Corey I have no idea what that was or more importantly who that was?! There was so much there in that tiny little clip. But i hope we have more answers then questions as we approach Final Stand.

Corey Graves
He said "Time to pay the toll?" Whos paying the toll? Who does this guy think he is?! Cant just hijack our broadcast with his weird Dexter routine. I'm not impressed.

Mauro Ranallo
Corey lets just leave it there and move on with the rest of the night that we have.
