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.

[Corey Graves]
The Director's Cut! This has to be it Mauro, The Cabinet is about to prove why they are the best!

[Mauro Ranallo]
You might be right Corey, each team has been giving their everything since the opening bell not showing any sign of weakness, but the Undisputed Era may be in trouble now.

This war had been going on for so long, each participant in this match was showing how strong they truly were and how tough and resilient they could be. Since the start these men had been trying to rip each other's head off, but now the situation seemed dire as Adam Cole had just been knocked to the outside of the ring and completely dazed and Aiden English had connected with the Director's Cut on Roderick Strong and was now headed for the cover. Meanwhile D'angelo Dinero was looking everywhere for someone to break the pin as he was trying to guard Aiden English with his life. The ref slides across the mat and raises his hand high to count the pin.

1

































2




























NO!


As the ref's hand was being raised for a three, Adam Cole somehow launches himself into the ring without a care in the world of how he landed as he flies in through the middle rope from the apron. Dinero trying to preserve the potential win jumps in the way, but Cole having enough force crashes into Dinero who goes flying back with Cole still in orbit partially and both men land on the pin attempt in the ring. The count was broken and now both sides had used all their legal pin breaks, this was a  saving grace moment for Cole and Strong, but for the Cabinet this was absolutely frustrating; the Undisputed Era would not be kept down. To the sight of Adam Cole and Dinero crash landing on Aiden and Roderick the crowd goes absolutely nuts, they had been eating up every bit of this fight from the start and they were electric at this moment; when the fall was broken a loud pop was heard throughout the arena sounding like a massive "Ohhhhhhhh" and was quickly followed by applause. In the ring however, the superstars looked completely drained and after the pin was broken, all four competitors laid in the ring some flat on their face or side, others on their backs breathing heavily as the audience roared; the ref stood up with a look of not knowing what to do as every person was down, but the illegal men couldn't get out of the ring. In this moment though one thing was clear: neither side was backing down.

[Mauro Ranallo]
What a save by Adam Cole; throwing caution to the wind to win this match. This just goes to show you that everyone here is willing to do anything to succeed and with bad blood between each group, it shows that no one is willing to admit defeat. English isn't pulling any punches and Strong and Dinero's knees look to be a little weak with all the back breakers and DDEs that have been used tonight.

[Corey Graves]
I don't know how that middle rope catastrophe worked, but it somehow got the job done. These guys are crazy!

A few moments go by and the four men begin to pick themselves, as they crawled to a sitting position they all begin trading fists: Strong and Aiden, Dinero and Cole all start with a slow trade off. Back and forth slowly, each punch making the other lean off balance as they putting more weight and force in each exchange. Eventually all four men are now to their feet and it seemed like everything was about to pick back up again after a moment of slow, but little did they know this was a rocket ship ready for take off. After trading blows for a moment on foot eventually all the men's arms fell by their sides in exhaustion as they were stumbling in place trying to find more energy to keep fighting. In this moment of pause, the ref begins to look at all four men like they are stupid because the rules were out the window since both teams illegal man was fighting in the ring, but it didn't matter to the Cabinet or the UE; they just wanted to fight each other. As both men were trying to find energy the ref begins to count as both illegal men were still in the ring as well as the two legal men. The crowd leaned in with excitement as what could happen next.

After the ref had counted to four the ref stopped counting and just looked at all the men in the ring as the fire in their eyes still burned, but physically couldn't move a muscle. It was at this moment that the ref signaled at the men that he would give one more opportunity to for the match to regain order and he restarted his count slowly. Stopping after each number for a long time and each man was motionless, but maintaining eye contact with the man in front of them. The crowd was beginning to buzz in anticipation as the ref counted. Then like a switch as the ref counted all the men started to scream and charge at each other like wild animals and swing their fists crazily at one another. At this point the ref gave up all hope in the match and called for the bell and let the men fight it out, meanwhile the audience was going nuts as a brawl had just broke out. Dinero and Cole were throwing fists wildly and so were Strong and English and the fight had no sense of direction as it was goin everywhere until they bumped into their partner. When this happened Strong and Cole shoved back Dinero and English. After flying back the two Cabinet members rushed in to fight once more only to be met with a double superkick from Cole to Dinero and Strong to English; on impact both men went backwards stumbling and dazed from the kick, but quickly snapped out of it and responded with two superkicks of their own. Shocked both UE members start falling back when Strong regains his footing and lands another superkick on Dinero that launches him into a corner. After this kick Cole looked at Strong for just a moment just to be hit with a superkick from Aiden English who then lets out a scream that was filled with energy. It seemed every man had a second wind.

A complete superkick party breaks out in the middle of this brawl as after Cole goes down from the superkick from English Strong responds with another superkick to English to even the odds and amount of superkicks per team. After this Dinero launches from the corner he was superkicked into meanwhile Aiden is shaking off the effect of the last superkick from the superkick he just received and they start making their way to Roderick Strong who gets hit with a massive double superkick which sends him flying out of the ring. After this moment English and Dinero turn their attention to Cole. Both men begin to walk towards Cole and as he is slowly being pinned into a corner Cole tosses out his hands and screams "WAIT". English and Dinero stop for a moment as Cole leans back with a sigh of relief; to this disrespect Dinero makes a run and jump at Cole for a DDE, but Cole reverses by jumping out of the way of the corner, Dinero however catches himself on the middle rope. As Dinero is gaining his footing on the middle rope, Aiden English tries to superkick Adam Cole, but was too slow and Cole strikes with a superkick of his own. After Sending Aiden back with a superkick, Adam Cole quickly shifts back to Dinero who was now on the middle rope and was about to dive on Adam Cole and he grabs Dinero's head and slides it to where his head is stuck on the top turnbuckle and superkicks Dinero three times sending him collapsing to the ring mat after. It was then when Cole was setting up for signature taunt amongst all the carnage of this superkick party where despite being dazed after three superkicks Dinero jumps up and slams his knees into Adam's spine to deliver a brutal version on the DDE. After this Roderick Strong jumps back into the ring to save the day. He runs after Dinero and jumps up for a flying knee to the jaw to be sidestepped and rams into a corner. Dinero being quick runs and jumps connecting with another DDE to the spine and English sensing the opportunity following up with a Director's Cut as Strong was falling down. As English hit the Director's Cut, Strong however rolls back up and when English got up he didn't notice and Dinero didn't either. As the Cabinet were basking in their "victory" Strong let out a giant roar startling English and Dinero and charges at Aiden English delivering a running high knee to the chin, but not only that, Adam Cole somehow got to his wits and combined the high knee to English's chin with a huge superkick which sent Mr. Money in the Bank crashing to the mat completely drained and now unconscious. This left Dinero all to himself to fight the other two members of the Undisputed Era. Not backing down, Dinero rushes Cole and Strong only for Strong to sidestep Dinero and leaving Dinero to run into a superkick that caused Dinero to turn around and stumble into an End of Heartache putting the man out of commission. Adam Cole and Roderick Strong looked as if they had come out on top of this fight and to celebrate Cole made his way to the center of the ring, Cole lowered his hair in front of his face and hung his head low. Roderick Strong leaned on the top rope facing the camera as Adam Cole snapped straight up and flipped his hair





Adam Cole and XWL Universe
ADAM COLE BAY BAY

[Corey Graves]
What an exchange between both factions, both teams got disqualified, but what a fight.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Not to mention Corey, The Undisputed Era has come out on top of this battle with The Cabinet after two weeks of being decimated by The Cabinet, do you think this will change the momentum of this war between the factions?

[Corey Graves]
I don't think Adam Cole and Roderick Strong are out of the woods yet, Mauro...

It was then when we see a very heated and angry JBL come storm onto to the stage with Virgil quickly behind him. As he does you can see him screaming down the ramp at English and Dinero and as this happens JBL is loosening the collar on his dress shirt and rolling up his sleeves, it seems as though John and Virgil were going to be the equalizers for The Cabinet this week and pick the bones of the exhausted Adam Cole and Roderick Strong. After getting prepared JBL begins marching down the stage and upon reaching halfway, JBL stops in his tracks and begins to think to himself for a moment and thought does he really feel like fighting right now? It was then when he looked up the ramp and pointed towards the entrance to the stage.



As the menacing sound of Leo Kruger's theme sounds, JBL looks on proudly, knowing everything is falling into place perfectly, like has been the case for weeks now, just when Undisputed Era thinks they're in control, The Cabinet finds a way to flip the narrative back in their favor, and with Adam Cole & Roderick Strong exhausted from fending off D'Angelo Dinero & Aiden English, they're surely in no shape to deal with the animal that Leo Kruger is.  

[Mauro Ranallo]
Oh this is not going to end well...

[Corey Graves]
The Undisputed Era are about to be picked apart by Leo Kruger, just like they were last week when they tried to gang up on him and it backfired immensely.

As the audience looks to the stage, as The Undisputed Era's Roderick Strong & Adam Cole look to the stage, as JBL still pointing at the stage, looks to the stage...nothing seems to be happening, a realization that starts to confuse JBL, until that confusion is cleared right up, when the titantron cuts away from the terrorizing video that is Leo Kruger's entrance video, and the next sight we see...is that very man, or monster as he's become known as, laid out in the wreckage of what looks to be the conclusion of what was a vicious assault...an assault at the hands of the two men standing over him...who are quickly revealed as Pete Dunne, and Matt Sydal, the other half of Undisputed Era. They've got damn near demolished steel chairs in their hands, chairs that have several dents, and even a broken seat entirely, chairs that were no doubt used to subdue the animal at their feet. Last week may have come back to bite them in the end, but tonight...their ambush proved successful, as they have eliminated The Cabinet's ace in the hole, and now...JBL's not smiling anymore, he's furious...but also realizing he's royally screwed. The feed cuts off, and focus shifts back to the ring where Roddy & Adam are snickering proudly at what their fellow brothers have done, and the awful predicament JBL has found himself in.

[Corey Graves]
Leo Kruger has been victimized by The Undisputed Era...you might wanna get the hell out of there JBL.

[Mauro Ranallo]
I think it might be too late for that...



The words "SHOCK THE SYSTEM" echo as the theme belonging to The Undisputed Era sounds, and before JBL knows it...Matt Sydal & Pete Dunne walk out from the back, still armed with the steel chairs that put The Cabinet's monster down. JBL's panicking, trying to figure out what to do, but everywhere he looks is bad news...he tries to order Virgil to go get them, but as Virgil nods as if he's got this, he rushes at Pete Dunne...only to be immediately clobbered by a chair shot that renders him unconscious IMMEDIATELY.

[Corey Graves]
Well, that was...he tried.

[Mauro Ranallo]
JBL surrounds himself with numbers to protect him, but now that protection has been picked off one by one, and now it is only HE who remains to face The Undisputed Era.

Without giving JBL any time to figure his way out of this situation, Sydal & Dunne beeline to him, immediately striking him with their chairs, he's completely helpless, defenseless, he's at their mercy and there's not a shred of mercy from either of them. Slowly the big man falls to the ramp, struck by chair shot after chair shot until they toss their no longer functional chairs aside, and each grab a hold of him, dragging his carcass to the ring. He tries to fight back, landing a hard back elbow to Dunne's jaw, but that only seems to rile him up even more, delivering an elbow of his own that damn near breaks his jaw from the impact it has behind it. Sydal and Dunne use their combined strength to hoist JBL off the floor and roll him into the ring, where they soon slide in and reunite with the other half of Undisputed Era.

[Corey Graves]
Oh brother...it's 4 on 1, this is going to get ugly.

[Mauro Ranallo]
They promised to eliminate The Cabinet as their first mission as a group, and they're well on their way to making that a reality.

JBL rises up slowly on his hands and knees, staring at Pete Dunne, Roderick Strong, Adam Cole, and Matt Sydal as they surround him like a pack of wild wolves, ironic that he's found himself in this situation because Kruger's supposed to be the wolf that protects him...but the sheep have now fought back and they are the ones in control. He slowly rises up on his knees, realizing he's in dire straits, and before he can potential plead for his life, or foolishly try to combat their numbers...all four men continue to circle him, each finding their positions for whatever they have in store for him. Cole stops behind him, lining up for what's sure to hurt...Roderick backs up to his right, Pete foaming at the mouth methodically stands at his left. This just leaves Matt Sydal who stands across from him, all four men each look into each other's eyes, then give a nod...the signals to cohesively destroy JBL...and once that signal is given...Roderick launches himself forward, connecting with a SICK KICK to the side of JBL's head, right on time for Pete to land a sickening in its own right enzuigiri to the other side of his head, positioning JBL's head between two nasty boots, just as Adam Cole SUPERKICKS the back of his skull in so loud you swear you could almost hear JBL's head crack from the impact. With JBL immediately thrown into shock, Matt Sydal launches himself forward landing a knee strike straight to his jaw!

[Mauro Ranallo]
MAMA MIA!!

[Corey Graves]
JBL WAS JUST DESTROYED BY ONE OF THE SICKEST COMBINATIONS I'VE EVER SEEN!

JBL wobbles for a second, his jaw barely hanging open due to how badly it hurts after that final knee strike, before falling flat on his face as blood begins to pool around him. The arena appropriately so echoes a roaring "HOLY SHIT!" chant as they've just seen JBL damn near murdered on live television by not one, not two, not three, but FOUR vicious shots to the head that cohesively have eliminated him.

[Mauro Ranallo]
It doesn’t look like JBL will be able to stand, let alone make it to Final Stand.. Our grandest pay per view after this vicious attack led by The Undisputed ERA!

[Corey Graves]
I guess you’re right but it doesn’t make it okay, in any sense of the word. The Cabinet just got ripped off the hinges and ooh.. Pete Dunne has picked up a microphone to draw sense from this.

Pete holds the microphone low in his hand and he starts smiling like a mad man, the others of the Undisputed Era are standing along side him staring at the fallen "Wrestling God" at their feet. Dunne flips his hair behind his ear and holds it there whilst thinking.

THE BRUISERWEIGHT’
Pete Dunne
Here we were, minding our own business and you had to push us to our absolute limit. You had to test us, drive us to the edge of everything and now you’re vulnerable. You’re weakened, and this ring cannot hold the tension between our two factions.

[Corey Graves]
What does that mean, Mauro?

[Mauro Ranallo]
Listen and we’ll find out, particularly peculiar words from the Bruiserweight.

THE BRUISERWEIGHT’
Pete Dunne
We have to split this right down in the center and reach for everything in the balance, what’s at stake. Us three.. Versus you THREE. In a SIX MAN TAG TEAM MATCH at Final Stand, to settle the score.

[Mauro Ranallo]
We all knew this was coming to a head.

Pete and co look at the sign afar and they are happy with this being sprung on by Pete, who is now taking control of the situation. Adam Cole tells a fan to sit down and let history unfold, Roddy is rolling his shoulders and taking in the announcement with excitement in his eyes.

THE BRUISERWEIGHT’
Pete Dunne
AHEM

THE BRUISERWEIGHT’
Pete Dunne
I wasn’t finished, in order for this to go down without excuses.. Or rather complaints from either side. This match will be held under by the code of Undisputed ideology. I guess, what i’m trying to say is, we’re taking you little bitches out one by one ELIMINATION style!

[Mauro Ranallo]
But we had zero clue that it would amount to a brutalizing elimination match set up by Pete Dunne who wants to see which group has the edge, once and for all.

[Corey Graves]
No mind games allowed, this is where the drama comes to an end and the action is all that’s left. They have to rely on each other, and have faith in their own skill.

Having made one blockbuster announcement, it appears they're not yet done, as Pete passes the mic off to Sydal.



[Matt Sydal]
That just leaves ONE last matter to address...the scum of The Earth at my feet, The "LEADER" Of The Cabinet, the "greatest" group in all of Professional Wrestling...the man that doesn't know how to fight in this ring, so he has to hire a team of lawyers to fight his battles for him and get "technical" victories as if they're anything to boast about, as if they don't make everyone that has to look at him every day sick to their stomachs over the lack of integrity one man can somehow lack.



[Matt Sydal]
You robbed me of my freedom to be The GOLDEN Star of this company, to do what I do better than most back there could ever dream of, to potentially Main-Event this year's Final Stand just as I did last year. If not for you, maybe I would have been in Money in The Bank, if not for you maybe I would have been in The Elimination Chamber...you wanted my name associated with The Cabinet so badly that you didn't stop to think about the repercussions for your actions. Sure, you got along just fine for a bit, right? Had me wash your limo, pick up your dry cleaning, send me on endlessly unsatisfied trips to fetch your coffee just so you could find something wrong with it every time. You even made me stand along side you as you went to war with Bad News Barrett, and because of ME, not you...he was the first eliminated and you were able to not only win that match in the end, but emerge with the title that unlike you, I ACTUALLY GAVE A DAMN ABOUT. You just wanted to be champion, to have everyone have to pay attention to you, and watching you succeed? While I was held under your thumb by some bullshit technicality? That was something I could no longer stand for.



[Matt Sydal]
So I walked out, questioning if I'd ever return...but then something unexpected happened, three men with an axe to grind with the world, that didn't appreciate how someone like me was treated, wanted to fight not FOR me, but WITH me. They wanted to stand by me and navigate the hell that would be fighting you and your Cabinet, and with your three against mine? That just leaves you, and me...and one final matter to resolve, MY FREEDOM. I do not stand for The Cabinet, I do not kneel to him, I do not care to waste my breath on it's existence, you may have forced me to join, but I REFUSE to tuck my tail between my legs and be a good "bitch" anymore. So allow me to spell it out for you, at Final Stand? You're all mine...and after my boys are through with yours, I'll eliminate you personally with a little T...L...C where the contract you forced me into will be suspended above this ring, and when I pull it down? I will have my freedom, and you...will be left with NOTHING.

The crowd excitedly screams over Sydal's challenge, as JBL still lies on the mat unable to answer, not that Matt's given him a choice in the matter anyways.



[Matt Sydal]
And not only will you be left with NOTHING, but when we're through with you? Your precious Cabinet? Will be EMPTY.

XWL's former Golden Ticket tosses the mic down to the mat, then looks to Pete, Roderick, and Adam then all four simultaneously throw up both hands in The "U E" gesture, as their theme begins to play.

[Mauro Ranallo]
Not one, but TWO huge matches have just been added to Final Stand... Adam Cole, Pete Dunne, and Roderick Strong versus  Mr. Money in The Bank Aiden English, D'Angelo Dinero, and Leo Kruger in a Six Man Elimination Tag-Team Match.

[Corey Graves]
And Matt Sydal battles it out with JBL in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match, with his contract with The Cabinet at stake.

[Mauro Ranallo]
From the sound of both Pete, and Matt, I'd almost say the very existence of The Cabinet is at stake. They want to ELIMINATE them, and I think we're in for total warfare on the grandest stage of them all.

[Corey Graves]
And with 2 weeks left go, I wonder what the fallout of tonight will be? The Cabinet are going to be forced to lick their wounds and bounce back, the question is will The Undisputed Era be ready for it?

[Mauro Ranallo]
It's thus far been a perpetual game of cat and mouse, and I'd wager to say that's how it's going to be until the bitter end.

The Undisputed Era may have had a rocky road these past 2 weeks, but tonight they've recaptured the magic of their first night together and dismantled The Cabinet through strategic planning and true team work. Now as we look at the fallen members of The Cabinet lying outside the ring, and JBL still unconscious in the ring, we take one last look at Matt Sydal, Roderick Strong, Adam Cole, and Pete Dunne as they look to The Final Stand X sign in the distance, before tonight's episode of Anarchy officially comes to an end.
