The opening shot we're greeted with is one within the confines of a building, three of the four walls lined with voting booths as lines are formed by eagerly awaiting members presumed to be the XWL Universe waiting to get their voted in before the rapidly approaching deadline. The fourth and final wall has an elevated stage with two sets of stairs leading onto the stage itself. Atop the stage sits the World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan on his custom made dragon themed throne as red and gold intertwine to bring the visually stunning image to life. Besides him stands Robert Roode, Bobby to his friends which neither of you are so call him Robert, counting a stack of what can only be presumed to be hundred dollar bills. As the trio turned duo mourns Cesaro's loss in their own way, Bryan looks towards the sea, well it's more of a lake in this specific instance, of the XWL Universe quickly getting their votes in as swiftly as they possibly could, the very same people he turned his back on after he became the World Heavyweight Champion. He shifts his focus to Bobby, who is still counting away, before speaking to his new right hand man.
Daniel Bryan Why did we agree to do this?
[[Bobby Roode]] The money was good.
Daniel Bryan We have money.
[[Bobby Roode]] You got to be on the poster.
Daniel Bryan The poster with the wrong date?
[[Bobby Roode]] I guess Mr. McMahon was too busy dotting someone else's eyes and got his T's crossed.
Daniel Bryan Ironically, she has neither of those letters in her name. Let's get this over with, shall we?
Bryan rises from his throne and makes it to the left side of the stage, descending down the steps while Roode does the same on the opposite side, the duo meeting at the bottom in perfect sync. They begin walking towards the nearest booth, Bobby extending his arm towards the awaiting voters that have formed a line outside said booth as Bryan bursts through the curtain and snatches the ballot from the surprised voter within the booth. He quickly reads through it.
Daniel Bryan You chose Truth and O'Reilly to face those Stupid Idiots? Where's Cesaro's name on this?
Voter He's injured?
Daniel Bryan Injured or not, he'd still beat them easily. Neither of these “teams” deserve that spot, yet here you are justifying their decision. Write in a vote that says that this match doesn't happen.[/b][/color]
Voter That isn't an option.
Daniel Bryan MAKE IT AN OPTION! DO IT OVER!
Bryan rips the ballot in half and tosses it over his shoulder, leaving the voter in a state of disbelief. Bryan leaves the booth and continues down the path, the awaiting hopeful voters being shoved away as the World Heavyweight Champion has taken the role of ensuring that the votes are justified and well deserved. His dragon senses begin to tingle when he comes into proximity of another booth, his eyes narrow as he's found another wrong to right. Just like last time, he bursts through the curtain and takes possession of the ballot from the unsuspecting voter's hand, quickly looking it over to see if it meets his standards.
Daniel Bryan A restraining order? Why is this even an option, much less your choice? She's trying to get one against Alexa Bliss but not Nikki Cross? She should get a restraining order on Vince's office so we never have to see the Golden Goddess and the Olden Goddess in the same room. DO IT OVER!
Again, Bryan rips up the ballot and tosses it over his shoulder and begins his now apparent crusade against terrible voters, where was he three years ago? Like a dragon shark smelling blood in the water, Bryan zones in on another wrongdoer, quickly closing the gap between them but around two thirds of the way to his destination, he's stopped by a seemingly unknown person.
Person You can't be barging into random booths in the middle of votes being cast, Daniel. That's not how it works.
Bryan extends his arm towards Bobby, who sees this and quickly licks the tip of his index finger before placing it on the corner of his stack of money, separating the single bill from the rest of its brethren in one sleek yet swift motion, handing it to Bryan shortly after. Upon receiving the bill, Bryan pokes it into the person's shoulder, holding it there until he slowly repositions his hand to take it.
Daniel Bryan Yes, it does.
The cold tone of Bryan's voice is quite apparent, causing a chill to go up and down the spine of the man that tried to control and tame The Corporate Dragon but Bryan isn't about to return to conformity while he's on top of the world, especially not to some nobody that he just met two seconds ago. Bryan walks away, leaving the man almost frozen in fear and causing Bobby to take one of his little hundred dollar ducklings back and reunite it with its family, the duo's detour ending as quickly as it began.
Out of the side view, you can see the rustling of another voter's booth as if it's being fought with. This man is seriously enjoying his time voting, could be a first timer. People are getting restless in line because he's been in there since voting started. CyberSlam is all about excitement but the champion doesn't seem too pleased by the obnoxious laughter and happiness.
[???] OH YES, SHOW ME THE MONEY!
[???] YES!
[???] THAT HITS THE SPOT!
After each shrill of excitement, when he's casting votes.. although it sounds more like he's playing a game show? The man is fully focused with his choices and rather confident it seems and dies down for a few seconds, perhaps we spoke too soon.
[???] I THINK WE'VE GOT A WINNER! OH YEAH, I'M EATING FIVE STAR QUALITY BEEF TONIGHT!
Baffled by the sheer absurdity of each statement made, Bryan decides enough is enough and takes a hold of the curtain, pulling it away and nearly ripping it off the booth entirely, before beginning to speak without giving it a second thought.
Daniel Bryan Who the hell do you think you are taking so long to make such a simple decision? What did you even vote for?
Bryan snatches the ballot from the man's grasp, quickly skimming through it before stopping in his tracks, his eyes igniting with dragon flame.
Daniel Bryan YOU CHOSE JOEY JANELA!? WHAT KIND OF IDIOT-
The Corporate Dragon goes to make eye contact with the man that made the vote, causing some of the fire in his eyes to extinguish as the man that he so blatantly disrespected looks over his shoulder to reveal the Limitless One himself, and one of Bryan's potential opponents for the evening, in Keith Lee.
[Keith Lee] “GLORIFICATION IN DEMONSTRATION If anyone is the idiot, it's you Mr.Bryan. Barging in to a voter's booth to tell me what to do. I don't tell you what to do with your world title, do I? No but I'll tell you what.. when I tried to find you to give it to you, you were nowhere to be found so I brought it home and I wore it around... naked.
Daniel Bryan YOU DID WHAT!?
[Keith Lee] “GLORIFICATION IN DEMONSTRATION You heard me... Naked.
Daniel Bryan SECURITY!
Almost immediately, a small group of security appear on the premises, as if they were waiting for this specific moment in the night, and quickly circle the much larger man in Keith Lee. The Limitless One contemplates his next course of action, opting to go the nonviolent path and willingly allow himself to be removed from the immediate area, his only goal being completed in the form of casting his votes. As Lee begins to reach the door, he quickly turns his head back towards the room and lets out one final message.
[Keith Lee] “GLORIFICATION IN DEMONSTRATION A VOTE FOR KEITH LEE IS A VOTE FOR FIVE STAR QUALITY BEEF!
Just when it seemed like all was right with the world and order was restored as Keith Lee was “escorted” out of the building, he and Bobby Roode find themselves surrounded by police officers, Bryan's alleged tampering with votes seemingly coming back to bite them. As the World Heavyweight Champion and the hopeful contender to the Intercontinental Championship stand back to back, ready to fight out of this situation if it comes to that, we immediately cut away and fast forward towards the end of the apparent conflict, showing both men outside the building as a wall of police officers stand between them and the door.
Daniel Bryan DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE?
[[Bobby Roode]] WE'RE THE ENTERPRISE!
Behind the wall of humanity screeches a voice and while we can't see who its coming from, we can make it out to be female. A single second passes before the officers create a small opening, allowing the woman to look at the men she just forcefully ejected from the perimeter.
Karen That's all well and good but you're participating in voter tampering and we're not trying to go to jail.
[[Bobby Roode]] WE HAVE MONEY! WE CAN BUY THIS PLACE AND FIRE YOU!
Before the original woman can respond, a subtly different voice is heard coming from within the building, slightly growing in volume as she closes the distance between herself and the commotion. When she comes into view, Roode and Bryan exchange a look with one another as if to say “There's two of them?”
Other Karen Well, you go do that. Now have a nice night and go enjoy your little event. What was it called now?
Karen Was it Cyberbash?
Other Karen No, it's Cybersmash
Karen Now that's just a silly name.
Other Karen Maybe it's Cyberrama
Karen Wait, I know! It's Cybermania!
With Bryan being on the verge of ripping his ears off his own head, Roode takes this opportunity to correct their ignorance.
[[Bobby Roode]] SLAM! IT'S CYBERSLAM, YOU IGNORAMOUSUES!
Karen Well, you don't have to be so rude.
Other Karen It clearly doesn't pay to be rude. Enjoy Cyberday.
[[Bobby Roode]] CYBERSLAM!
Karen You see, this is why I don't let little Billy watch those wrasslin' events, they're all so angry.

Subject: Re: XWL Cyberslam: 10/14/2019-10/28/2019 Wed Oct 16, 2019 11:34 am
We see XWL's resident Bad Boy sitting against a dumpster somewhere behind the arena. He holds a lit cigarette in between his fingers. It's not too cold outside, but we see Joey Janela shaking. He struggles to place the cigarette between his lips but after a few moments, he succeeds and takes a long drag. He exhales and lets out a large cloud of smoke before beginning to speak.
JOEY JANELA Where....Where have you been Joey?! No one has seen you in weeks! I've been worried sick about you...
Joey begins having a conversation with himself.
JOEY JANELA What the fuck are you talking about?! I've been here every week! Haven't you noticed? Surely you noticed me! I mean... come on! I'm... I'm The Bad Boy.... right? I'm still the bad boy, aren't I?
Joey begins laughing for a moment.
JOEY JANELA Joey, it's been weeks! They've been calling everyone close to you. Even me, Joey! We haven't seen each other in a while, but they still called. You no showed radio interviews, morning talk show appearance, matches... Joey, you've been in the voting for an opportunity to face Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Championship. You showed up for one week leading up to tonight and then you just vanished!
Still shaking, Joey takes another hit of his cigarette. He slowly begins tapping the dumpster with the back of his head. He continues.
JOEY JANELA Do you think I really give a shit about some World Title, Penelope? Do you think I really give a shit about Daniel Bryan? You know just as well as I do that the only reason they put me in the vote is so that they can boost pay-per-view sales. They know that I'm the best fuckin' thing going today, but then they insult me by putting me in some fuckin' vote... some fuckin' popularity contest. So fucking what if I missed all the build up for this show. I'm not some fucking puppet... I don't give a shit if two people order this pay-per-view or two million people order this pay-per-view. My name might be on a contract, but me? The Bad Boy? I don't work for ANYONE. No one is pulling my fuckin' strings! I'm no one's bitch! They tell me to show up to their little fuckin' show and promote their their little fuckin' vote... FUUUUUUUCK YOU! I'm here to promote one person and one person only...ME. I'm here for ME!
Joey continues hitting the back of his head off the dumpster. A single tear falls from his right eye. It trickles down his cheek before getting trapped in his scruffy beard.
JOEY JANELA What's wrong with you, Joey?! This isn't the man that returned to XWL. This isn't the man that I pulled out of the dumpster all those months ago. I pulled you out of the dumpster for a reason, Joey. You're the Bad Boy. I pulled you out and now look at ya. Sitting up against a dumpster... you look like shit... smell like shit. I would say you're back where you started, but you're not. You have this company by the balls, Joey. This vote...
Joey interrupts...
JOEY JANELA What part of "I don't give a shit" did you not understand? Fuck Jon Moxley... Fuck Keith Lee... and Fuck Finn Balor. Jon Moxley is an asshole, Keith Lee is a big titted douchebag, and Finn Balor isn't even a real demon! He's a fake! ...Just like me... wait no... I'm not fake... I'm The Bad Boy...right?
Joey drops the cigarette and clutches his head.
JOEY JANELA You're the Bad Boy, Joey! You're THE BAD BOY, JOEY! YOU'RE THE BAD BOY, JOEY! YOU'RE A BAD... BAD... BOY, JOEY JANEL...
?????? JOEY?!
Joey removes his hands from his head. He looks up to see two familiar faces.
JOEY JANELA P-Penelope?
The man Penelope is with steps in front of the beautiful blonde.
★ VIRGIL ★ Damn right it's Penelope and she's my girl now, Janela.
The Bad Boy slowly rises to his feet. We see him reach into his right pants pocket and pull out his signature pair of sunglasses. He puts them on and gets into Virgil's face for a moment.
Penelope Don't do it, Joey!
Virgil chuckles.
★ VIRGIL ★ You better do what she says. I'd hate to have to embarrass you in front of you EX girlfriend.
As Virgil chuckles again, we see the jaw of the bad bout tense up as he balls up his fists.
JOEY JANELA You know something... I've been having a shit time since I lost Penelope. My life has gone to shit, my career has gone to shit... I had sex with a transsexual hooker. Not my thing, but if that's what you're into.. that's fine by me. I haven't been feeling so much like a Bad Boy since I lost Penelope. I think it's time that changed...
We see Virgil form a puzzled look as he continues listening to Janela's rant.
JOEY JANELA I don't care about some gold fuckin belt. Unlike Daniel Bryan, I don't need a gold belt to be relevant. Unlike the rest of these jabronis in XWL, I don't base my career on what prizes I can win. The chase for these bullshit championships consume these idiot's careers! Me? I am just here to have a good fuckin time and the good fuckin' times start RIGHT fuckin' NOW!
Suddenly, a shoe comes flying in from behind Virgil. The shoe goes right between The Wrestling Superstar's legs, kicking the man so hard his testicles might have been launched into outer space. Penelope Ford has just kicked Virgil in the nuts. Quickly, Virgil drops to the ground. He hold his crotch as we begin to catch a beautiful moment occurring.
'The Bad Boy' Joey Janela locks eyes with 'The Bad Girl' Penelope Ford. As if on cue, a car slowly drives by blasting "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith. Adding insult to injury, Janela steps on the gentiles of Virgil as he gets face-to-face with Penelope now. With the iconic song playing in the background, Penelope reaches toward Joey's face removing the Bad Boy's sunglasses. Slowly, the two move in for a kiss.
★ VIRGIL ★ I'm gonna kill you you motherfu...
We don't hear the end of Virgil's sentence as the Aerosmith song increases in volume and fills the air now. The Bad Couple of Wrestling lock lips. After a few moments, they grab each other's hand and walk off out of frame. The scene closes as we see Virgil now sitting against the dumpster.

The crowd goes wild, already hyped up after watching the PPV Intro with Daniel Bryan and Bobby Roode, as well as the interesting turn of events that just happened to Joey Janela outside of the arena. The Cyberslam theme song plays as Renee officially welcomes the millions watching at home.
Renee Young Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Cyberslam!!! We’re live here from Orlando, Florida!! And man do we have a great night in sto-
The crowd lets out a boo heavy mixed reaction as The Miz and Maryse step out onto the stage.
The crowd lets out a boo heavy mixed reaction
**The Miz** Okay, okay, okay… Cut the music..
The Miz’s music comes to an abrupt halt.
**The Miz** Look, I think that we started off on the wrong foot last week…
The Miz and Maryse are still standing on the stage, looking out towards the crowd.
**The Miz** I know that I can be a little full of myself… Some people might even call me arrogant.. Only some people, a very small amount in fact… But it’s hard not to be cocky when you look like I do, act like I do, wrestle like I do, and well.. Have a smoking hot wife, like I do!!!
The crowd lets out a laugh, as well as a mixed reaction of boos and cheers.
**The Miz** But at the end of the day, the reason that I am here, the reason that I am who I am.. Is you.. All of you.. The fans.. The XWL Universe.. The greatest fan base in the world.. I mean, obviously my natural good looks, unmatched charisma, and hollywood smile didn’t hurt… But without you there would be no Miz…
The reaction is now starting to become more 50/50 in terms of boos and cheers are concerned
**The Miz** And you people might not know it, you might not even be able to appreciate it, but I’ve been saying “thank you” ever since I took a break from in ring competition.. I’ve been saying “thank you” by promoting this company on all the red carpets, all the globally watched talk shows, all of the most prestigious interviews.. I’ve been doing everything in my power to make sure that Anarchy was the most talked about wrestling show in all of sports entertainment.. Because I’m an A-Lister, and every company needs an A-Lister to keep them relevant. It takes more than Daniel Bryan showing off his grappling ability, or Matt Sydal flipping around the ring, or even TCSI making us laugh with their antics. They don’t sell out arenas.. A-Lister’s sell out arenas.. And I’m the only A-Lister left in XWL. The Rock is gone, Cena is gone.. They’re off doing their own thing, for themselves.. They’re not promoting XWL. They’re not using their fame to put the spotlight on Anarchy.. I AM!! Each and every day I’m putting work in for YOU!! Miz and Mrs.? That’s to help promote this company!! That’s to help keep these damn lights on in the arena!! You like that stage pyro earlier? Well without me there wouldn’t be enough money in the budget for it!! I’m not saying that I’ve been carrying this company on my back..
The Miz rubs his shoulders.
**The Miz** But I do have to say, my shoulders are a little sore.. And look, I don’t expect anything in return. You can still dislike me if you want, you can still boo me if you feel like it, I know that I’m just as much fun to hate as I am to love, but just know that at the end of the day I don’t do what I do for the money, or the big houses, or the fancy clothes. I do what I do for two things… All of you… And my family.. Maryse and my daughter Monroe, who you can watch on our reality TV series “Miz and Mrs.” on the USA Network every Monday!!
The crowd lets out a “Monroe is Awesome chant, which causes Maryse and The Miz to smile.
**The Miz** So in order to say thank you I arranged for a fun guest for you all on tonight’s Miz TV later on.. She’s a hugger, not a fighter.. You all love her!!!.. That’s right!! It’s Bayley!!!
The crowd goes wild at the mention of Bayley’s name.
**The Miz** But that’s not all that’s in store for tonight!! As you all know it’s Cyberslam!! Which means that for all of tonight’s matches you got to vote upon either the stipulation or contender for it!! The votes aren’t in yet, but I can’t wait to see the results when they are!! Did you vote for a Falls Count Anywhere? Elimination? Or a ladder match for tonight’s Triple Threat between WALTER, Bobby Roode, and Aiden English..
The crowd lets out a boo at the mention of the three contenders.
**The Miz** As if any of those chumps have a chance of taking that title from Chris Sabin..
A “Sabin” chant begins to form in the crowd.
**The Miz** And what stipulation is going to be voted for in the North American Title Number One Contenders Match!?!? Nia Jax and Ruby Riot will be facing off in either a Ladder Match.. Street Fight… A match where Charlotte Flair is the guest referee..
The crowd boos. A few people can’t help from “Woo”ing of course.
**The Miz** Or a match where Sarah Logan is referee.. I hope that you all didn’t vote for Charlotte to be referee!! Because if you did, I don’t know if Bianca Belair will be there to even the odds this time. Like when the two pulled an “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” and teamed up to take out Charlotte and Nia a few weeks ago.. That being said, Ruby now has Sarah Logan to watch her back.. So maybe it’s Nia and Charlotte that should be fearing the number games now!! Speaking of Charlotte Flair, she will be taking on Bianca Belair.. And you got to vote for whether you wanted Bianca…
The crowd cheers, chanting “EST”
**The Miz** Or Charlotte to pick the stipulation of the match!!! Look, I love Ric Flair, and am so thankful for what he has taught me and how he has inspired me in the past.. But I can’t agree with how his daughter has been handling herself as of late here in XWL.. So I hope that she doesn’t get to pick the stipulation, because I bet that if she does then she will pick a Submission Match.. And trust me, I know how effect a well executed Figure Four Leg Lock can be.. For Bianca’s sake she better hope that she gets to pick the stipulation.. TCSI will be in action tonight!!
The biggest pop of the night happens at the mention of XWL’s favorite Tag Team.
**The Miz** Against either the team of Adam Cole and.. Dominic Dijikiov..
**The Miz** Dijivokiv?
The Miz looks over at Maryse with a puzzled look. She shrugs her shoulders, saying “It’s not French, I don’t know what it is!!”
**The Miz** Dijikivik?
The Miz shrugs his shoulders.
**The Miz** Or the team of R-Truth and Kyle O'Reilly.. The choice is yours!! Do you want to watch great wrestling!!!.. .Orrrrr do you want to see Truth, O’Reilly, Sabin, and Gable pull a bunch of shenanigans in the ring.. Honestly I’m game to watch either!! But only you get to choose!! We also have the corporate sell out Daniel Bryan..
The crowd lets out the loudest boo of the night at the mention of the World Champ.
**The Miz** Taking on either Jon Moxley, Joey Janela, Keith Lee, or Finn Balor.. As we saw earlier, Keith Lee promises that a vote for him is a vote for five star quality beef, and unsanitary championship belts.. Finn Balor, well, honestly I’m not sure if we’re going to be seeing “The Demon” or Finn Balor tonight if he’s voted for. For Bryan’s sake, he better hope it’s not “The Demon”.. Well, actually, he better be hoping that it’s not Moxley for that matter. After what had the say about Bryan, well, if I were the champ Moxley would be the last person I would want to step in the ring with.. And of course as we just saw, Joey Janela views this as a popularity contest, and seems preoccupied with being a “Bad Boy” with his off again, now on again girlfriend Penelope.. Which makes them the second best couple in XWL.. Well, maybe third behind Moxley and Renee… But Joey and Penelope definitely aren’t the worst couple in XWL.. The worst “couple” in XWL is Vince McMahon and Mandy Rose!!! Which, speaking of Rose, brings me to the main event.. Mandy Rose against Alexa Bliss.. Hell In a Cell... Who here misses Kairi Sane?
The crowd goes wild, chanting Sane’s name.
**The Miz** Well then hopefully you all voted for the stipulation that if Alexa Bliss wins, not only will she become the new North American Champion, but her best friend Kairi Sane will be reinstated as an XWL Superstar!! The other options of course, is if Alexa wins then Vince McMahon will be “officially” fired as General Manager. I say “officially” because right now it seems like Linda McMahon is in charge. Which, usually is the case.. The wife being in charge.. Right Maryse?
Maryse rolls her eyes and gives Miz her signature hand taunt.
**The Miz** And of course there are the last two options, which are the wrong ones.. And we will leave it at that… So… Are you all ready to finally, after a week of waiting, find out who my opponent will be tonight??.. I know that Mandy vs. Alex is the “main event”, but I promise you that “The Miz” is going to be the name trending after Cyberslam!!
**The Miz** Like I said before, everything that I’ve done, I’ve done for all of you, and for this business… Well, tonight we have a sold out crowd, and tonight is my much anticipated in ring return, coincidence? I think not… I bet if you go to the merchandise stands all of my merch is already sold out, which is okay, because you can still purchase it online at XWL.com/store. Just search “most popular” and all of my merch should pop up on the top.. Just like this T-Shirt!!
The Miz walks over to one of the fans in the front row next to the stage who is wearing a Miz “Awesome” shirt. He high fives the fan.
**The Miz** But I digress.. Tonight is Cyberslam!! Which means tonight is all about you!!! The fans!! The XWL Universe!!! So I thought to myself, what better way is there of thanking the fans then returning to In Ring Competition on the Pay Per View that is all about them!! AND have it be against THE biggest legend in the company, brother!!
The crowd begins to buzz in anticipation.
**The Miz** I’m not going to lie.. The ratings are at an all time low.. That’s why I’m back. I’m here to give XWL the star power that it needs to be noticed again. I’m here to bring in all the guest celebrities, all the TV deals, all the people that didn’t give XWL a chance before because it didn’t have a true star on the roster, a true A-Lister like me.. So in order to say thank you to all of you, for helping me become what I am, I made a few phone calls… And… Well… Orlando Florida… My opponent for my big in ring return…
The Miz pauses for dramatic effect.
**The Miz** Hulk Hogan!!!
The crowd goes wild as The Miz steps aside with a smile on his face. The cheers grow even louder as the living legend himself, Hulk Hogan, steps out onto the stage.
Hogan does his signature pose, which Miz does alongside him, as the fans go wild.
The music fades as Hogan is handed a mic. He paces back and forth on the stage, looking out at the cheering crowd. The Miz smiles as the crowd goes wild, cheering too loud for Hogan to talk.. After a few moments the crowd finally settles down and Hogan begins to speak.
HulkHogan It’s great to be back here, on Anarchy!!
HulkHogan It’s great to be here in Orlando, Florida Brother!!
The crowd goes wild. The Miz is smiling, clapping as well.
HulkHogan And speaking of greatness, it’s great to be here with my friend.. The Awesome One!! The Miz!!!
The crowd lets out a cheer, with a few boos.
**The Miz** Oh, you’re too kind Hulkster!! But it’s truly an honor to be standing next to you, let alone being in a match with you!!
HulkHogan I’m not going to lie. When you called me up and asked me if I could still go in the ring, I had some concerns.. After all, health is an issue..
**The Miz** I thought that you got cleared to compete? I mean look at you!! You’re in the best shape of your life!! You look great!!
Hulk flexes for the crowd, who chant “Hogan”
HulkHogan Thanks brother.. And you’re right. I am in the greatest shape of my life. Even though I’m not wrestling, I’ve been staying in shape. As a matter of fact I’ve been doing DDP Yoga, it’s great!!
The Miz smiles.
**The Miz** Ahh, I see that you are also a master at cheap plugs!! DDP Yoga huh? I could probably use it, I can’t even touch my toes!!
Maryse taps The Miz on the shoulder and says “I can”.. The Miz looks Maryse up and down and says “Oh I know you can..”
HulkHogan Listen brother.. My health concerns… They weren’t for me.. They were for you Miz..
HulkHogan You’ve faced a lot of the best wrestlers of your time, brother. But I come from a whole different species of wrestlers. I’m not like Daniel Bryan or Chris Sabin. When someone like you gets hit with a punch from these twenty four inch pythons..
Hulk does his signature pose.
HulkHogan Well, all I can say is that you better say your prayers and take your vitamins before our match brother...
The Miz looks excited as the crowd cheers.
**The Miz** Alright!! The Hulkster still has it!! You see!! I promised I wouldn’t disappoint!!
The Miz checks his phone.
**The Miz** “The Miz vs. Hulk Hogan” is currently the number one thing trending on Twitter!! THAT’S what happens when you have an A Lister in this company!!.. You see, having me around is not that bad after all!!!
The Miz smiles as the fans give off a cheer heavy mixed reaction now.
**The Miz** Hulkster, tonight the fans are going to be able to choose what type of match we compete in.. What do you hope that they vote for? Lumberjack Match? Iron Man Match? Or First Blood Match?.. Do you even think that you could make it through an Iron Man Match still? All I’m saying is I’m hoping it’s a Lumberjack Match.. I’m not trying to make an old man bleed!!
Hogan takes a step closer to The Miz.
HulkHogan Listen brother, I’ve been wrestling a lot longer than you have, and I’ve been in Hollywood a lot longer than you have.. You might think that you have the advantage because I’m older than you are, but that’s where you’re wrong. That’s MY advantage jack. I come from an Era where people your size were referees. I could out bench you with one arm tied behind my back, even at this age.. I could beat you in an arm wrestling match, with just my finger.. You’ve never been hit by someone like me. You have no idea what’s coming your way. If it’s an Iron Man Match, I’d be more worried about you staying conscious for an hour, when you step in the ring with me, brother..
The Miz takes a few steps back.
**The Miz** Alright, alright.. Save it for the match.. In retrospect I probably should have started my phone conversation by asking if you’ve been hitting the gym lately, you know, before asking you for a match.. But hey.. It’s what the people want!! Isn’t that right!!
The crowd cheers.
**The Miz** Speaking of what the people want. I just got a text on my phone from Linda McMahon that the votes are in!!! Hulkster, she sent me our results!! We’re going to be facing off in….
The crowd begins to buzz with anticipation.
**The Miz** A LUMBERJACK MATCH!!!
The crowd goes wild as The Miz and Hogan both nod their heads, happy with the choice.
**The Miz** I have one more question for you Hulk.
HulkHogan No. This isn’t Miz TV. You’re not the one asking the questions here.. Because I have a question.. For youuuu!!!
The Miz looks confused, saying “what is it?”.
HulkHogan Whatcha gonna do, brother? Whatcha gonna do when HulkaCyberSlam runs wild on you!!
Hulk rips his shirt off and towers over The Miz as the crowd goes wild.
Hogan glares down The Miz for a few moments before smiling and offering his hand. The Miz smiles as well, shaking Hogan’s extended hand. The Miz’s smile quickly turns to a look of pain as Hogan is squeezing his hand a little too hard. Hogan realizes and lets go quickly, saying “Sorry brother”, not realizing his own strength. The Miz nervously pats Hogan on the back as, saying “no problem” as we are brought to a video package hyping up the North American Championship #1 Contender Match.

[Mauro Ranallo] Well ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for tonight's opening contest, Robert Roode, Aiden English, and WALTER have arrived in the ring, and now we see what YOU have voted for this match to be.
[Corey Graves] It was between a Falls Count Anywhere Match, an Elimination Match and a Ladder Match...but after your votes...Renee, please.
[Renee Young] You have decided that this #1 contenders match, to determine Chris Sabin's challenger at The 2019 Slammy Awards for The Intercontinental Championship...will be, an ELIMINATION MATCH!
/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \
SPOILERS
/ \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \
As Roode's GLORIOUS anthem blasts throughout the arena, it drowns out the boos that grow louder the longer the realization set in that the man who "broke up" with the fans has truly been "living his best life" since doing so. No, this crowd is not happy, but as for Robert Roode? Nothing can hide the obnoxiously cheesy smile all over his face as he stands up over a broken Aiden English and has his hand raised by the official, only amplifying the boos that much more.
[Mauro Ranallo] I feel like a broken record at this point, but Robert Roode with ANOTHER big time victory!
[Corey Graves] The fans voted for this match to be held under Elimination Rules, which meant that in order for Roode to win? He had to outlast both of his opponents, and he not only outlasted them, he eliminated BOTH of them!
[Renee Young] Now with this victory he has officially named himself The #1 Contender to Chris Sabin's Intercontinental Championship...the very title that Sabin's best friend and Tag-Team partner Chad Gable...took from Roode 2 years ago.
[Mauro Ranallo] And Roode's opportunity will come at this year's Slammy Awards. The very place he lost it 2 years ago, he will have the chance to win it back, but can he?
As the official lowers his arm, he goes over to Aiden who has since rolled out of the ring to check on him. Aiden definitely had anything but a "glorious" night, especially not when he was powerbombed by Roode through a table that was leaned in the corner, and as he barely was even functioning by that point, his cobweb-covered head was spiked into the remains of that table with a GLORIOUS DDT that has him hurting, both from the physicality, and the hit to his ego knowing he wanted to leave tonight with the number one contendership instead. With the referee tending to Aiden, Roode is left to continue his celebration, leaping up onto the second rope and basking in his victory, his smile inciting more boos, which only seems to make him even happier in this moment.
[Corey Graves] I think betting against a man like Roode who is so determined to right the wrong that took place at The Slammy Awards back in 2017 isn't a wise bet to make.
[Renee Young] The fact that he came back a month and a half ago, thanks to The Enterprise, with a new lease on his career...and it has thus far been impeccable? Certainly shows that Chris Sabin has a very tough challenge ahead of him. I may not particular like Roode's change in attitude, but it has been one hundred percent effective in raising his stock in XWL.
[Mauro Ranallo] Victory after victory he has stood tall, and with tonight's performance? He is only ONE victory away from erasing the past and forging a new future...a future that picks up where he last left off, at the very event where it left off.
[Renee Young] You know, we're talking a lot about what this night could mean for Robert Roode...I think perhaps I should go try to get a word with him to see what he believes this victory has achieved for him tonight. If you'll excuse me gentlemen, I'll be back in a bit.
The sound of a headset hitting the table follows as the focus remains on Roode, he's gotten to the point in his celebration where he shouts "GLORIOUS" along with his theme, kind of like the crowd used to, but now...he doesn't need them to serenade him, not when he can serenade himself! "GLORIOUS! NO I WON'T GIVE IN, I WON'T GIVE IN, TILL I'M VICTORIOUS!" He follows with a slight cackle, looking out into the audience hamming it up knowing that each second that passes only riles them up that much more. But as he gloats, and gloats....and gloats...Renee Young steps into the ring with a microphone in hand. He seems to notice something in her peripheral vision as his head turns and sees Renee. He hops down to the mat then walks over to her, seemingly accepting her request for an impromptu interview.
[Renee Young] Robert, congratulations on your victory...defeating BOTH Walter and Aiden English here tonight to become The NEW #1 Contender to The Intercontinental Championship!
[[Robert Roode]] Are you surprised? I told you, I told them, I told the ENTIRE WORLD...that this match was merely a formality, and low and behold, it was exactly that. I earned this opportunity the second I was brought back by The Enterprise, I earned this opportunity when I beat Kyle O'Reilly in my return to action, I earned this opportunity when I beat R-Truth the week after that, and I earned this opportunity when I defeated Adam Cole, Kyle O'Reilly AND Chris Sabin in a Fatal 4 Way Match. What I did tonight? Was leave not a single shadow of a doubt in anyone's minds that I am a man on a mission, and my mission is clear...to right the wrong that was done to me two years ago, and with tonight's victory? With my elimination of BOTH of my opponents? My mission is nearly complete. I have The Intercontinental Champion Chris Sabin, the foolish friend of the man who stole what belonged to me back at The 2017 Slammy Awards...and after just one more victory? I will have my revenge, at his expense, and Renee...trust me it is a costly expense.
[Renee Young] Let's talk about that, now...you came back and were very vocal about your intent to right the wrongs of your career starting at that fateful moment 2 years ago on The Slammy Awards when you voluntarily defended your title, and lost to Chad Gable.
[Renee Young] Um, I'm pretty sure you issued out the challenge in honor of your Slammy Award win.
[[Robert Roode]] Exactly, these people held a proverbial gun to my head DEMANDING to be entertained, and like a puppy starved for their love...willing to do anything to receive it, to feel "worthy" of it? I wagged my tail as I felt like I could conquer ANYTHING WITH THEM BY MY SIDE, WITH THEIR LOVE FUELING ME! But all their "love" did? Is run out the second some little squirt walked out here, stole their affection, AND my title!
[Renee Young] You will meet Chris Sabin one on one as you challenge for his Intercontinental Championship, and that clash will take place at this year's Slammy Awards. What does that night look like to you as you stand her envisioning it?
[[Robert Roode]] I have waited 2 long years for this, Renee...for a moment I never thought would come. I thought my career was out to pasture, that I was doomed to be some novelty act that returns for a cheap pop whenever the bills pile up too much...but thanks to Daniel Bryan? Thanks to Cesaro, thanks to The Enterprise? Thanks to the love and support of my gorgeous wife and my brilliant children? This moment HAS come, and the debt incurred on that fateful night where everything changed? Is about to be free and clear when I stand on The Slammy stage, WITH THE TITLE THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE LEFT MY HANDS!
[[Robert Roode]] I am no longer held back by these leeches. I am no longer restrained from rising to the greatness I was BORN to achieve. I am no longer fighting for their approval, I am fighting for MY FAMILY, for the future of my children, for THE GLORY I DESERVE! For the glory...I am owed, and am coming to collect at The Slammy Awards. I don't care about any categories I might be nominated for, the only trophy I want to leave that night with? Is The Intercontinental Championship, and I've got just the perfect place on my mantle for it when I do.
[Renee Young] What message do you have for The CURRENT Intercontinental Champion Chris Sabin, the man you will meet at this years Slammy Awards?
[[Robert Roode]] Chris, your reign as Intercontinental Champion is OVER, and you can thank your "best friend" for that!
HAIL SABIN!
As if taking this as his cue to appear ahead of his XWL Tag Team Championship defense later in the evening, Sabin's theme, something that hasn't been heard since he made his intentions to become the Intercontinental Champion clear, begins to play throughout the arena, much to the delight of the XWL Universe, anything to get Robert Roode to shut his mouth for a second is good in their books.
The words themselves appear on the Titantron, showing that we are in fact set for a collision course here tonight as Champion and newly crowned contender look to build a bit of momentum heading into the now official Intercontinental Championship match that has been set for the Slammy Awards Edition of Anarchy.
[Mauro Ranallo] Well speak his name and he shall appear, Chris Sabin THE DUAL Champion of XWL, one half of the YEAR LONG reigning Tag-Team Champions, and The Intercontinental Champion who will put his title on the line against his newly crowned #1 contender at this years Slammy Awards!
[Corey Graves] A bit disrespectful of The Champion to come out here during Roode's moment.
[Mauro Ranallo] When that moment is spent talking trash about their impending match it's only fair that he get the opportunity to address it himself, face to face.
A few moments pass before not only the Intercontinental Championship but also one half of the XWL Tag Team Champions (of the world!) steps out onto the stage, proudly wearing the Championship he's set to defend, the latter visibly absent from the “Stupid Idiot” from “Trash City.” As he begins his descent down the entrance ramp, Sabin's eyes remain locked in his hopeful challenger and the man that looks to avenge his loss at the Slammys two years ago, something that he's clearly not let go since those events transpired. Roode and Sabin's history dates back to the inaugural Motor City Cup, a tournament designed to honor The Motor City Machine Guns, where he and his then partner James Storm, formally Beer Money, would face the unlikely duo of Chad Gable and Chris Sabin. Following the then unnamed TCSI's impressive victory over the veteran team, Roode's stock would plummet while Sabin's would only just begin to rise. With Sabin holding a victory over Roode, it wouldn't be until two weeks ago that Roode would get that victory back in the form of a Fatal 4 Way match involving the Dual Champion, and while he didn't outright pin Sabin, it's still a victory over the Champion in Roode's eyes. By this point, Sabin has already descended down the entrance ramp and entered the ring, a microphone in hand as Champion and Challenger stand face to face in the center of the ring.
Chris Sabin Congratulations are in order, I suppose. You went into a triple threat match and eliminated both of your opponents. Now do that again inside the Elimination Chamber, where two of the greatest teams to ever step foot into this ring fought for tag team supremacy, and I guess Cutthroat Era were there too. Believe it or not, I'm actually glad you won. I know, it's quite the revelation. I've already beaten Walter, or WALTER as he prefers, and he attacked me after the match out of bitterness. A man that large, that talented doesn't need to resort to attacking someone from behind but here we are.
Chris Sabin Then there's Aiden English, also known as Not Velveteen Dream and former World Heavyweight Champion, a man that had all the potential in the world, managed to not only win Money in the Bank but also successfully cash it in and walk into Final Stand as World Heavyweight Champion. And after losing the Championship he fought so hard to attain, he found himself trying to take something that belonged to me: The XWL Tag Team Championships. After Chadsworth and myself beat him and Tyler Breeze, his partner saw the writing on the wall and decided to split. And who could blame him, you failed to become Intercontinental Champion, you failed to become World Heavyweight Champion, then you failed to become the XWL Tag Team Champions and with the Television Championship no longer a reality, what else is there left to fail at? But Aiden, young Aiden English wasn't about to simply walk away that easily, after all, if he couldn't take one of my Championships, why not try to take the other? And try he did but “try” can only get you so far and all it got him was put through a table and suffered a GLORIOUS end. Which brings me to you.
Chris Sabin Two years, was it? That's it? I spent over seven years fighting, I spent over seven years scratching and clawing my way to another Championship reign, over seven years of failure and doubt setting into my mind that maybe I wasn't good enough to become a Champion again. My first reign lasted two weeks, so after Chad Gable and myself became the XWL Tag Team Champions, I told myself that I wouldn't lose this one so easily, that I wouldn't repeat history, that I wouldn't be an afterthought this time around and guess what? We're STILL the longest, reigning, defending XWL Tag Team Champions of the world! And we still will be after the night is over, whether it's Bad Vibez or Truth and O'Reilly is irrelevant. Then there's the Intercontinental Championship that you're after. It took me six years since I got my first shot at it to become Champion, it took me six years to get this and if you think I'm losing it to you of all people, then you've got another thing coming.
Chris Sabin I get it, you have no idea how much I get it. You're pissed off that you lost the Intercontinental Championship to Chad Gable, I've lost to Gable too and it has pissed me off but at the end of the day, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have held these XWL Tag Team Championships for as long as we have. You blame these people for pressuring you into defending the Championship when you didn't want to but with all your excuses and blame passing, the only person I haven't seen you blame is yourself. There was a point in my career where I blamed them for my failures as well, there was a time where I thought there was no way it was my fault and guess what? It was my fault. The sooner you realize that, the easier your loss at the Slammys will be.
Chris Sabin You and I are a lot alike, we've both made our name in tag team wrestling as part of two of the greatest teams to ever grace a wrestling ring, we've both tried to knock that chip from our shoulder, remove that stigma that we were only tag guys and our singles runs have had varying levels of success but it isn't until recently that we've both seem to have found our groove, me becoming the Intercontinental Champion and you being on the best roll of your career. You've managed to bounce back from irrelevancy and while your decisions won't win you any points with these people, the fact that this new found attitude has put you in an Intercontinental Championship match, that speaks volumes, doesn't it? On the other side of that coin, your history at the Slammys is well documented. So for your sake, let's hope that history doesn't repeat itself.
Roode flashes a temporary smile before his expression grows quite serious as he stares at The Intercontinental Champion, specifically...the title that he hasn't seen since it was taken from him by the other half of TCSI, Chad Gable.
[[Robert Roode]] For my sake? Oh no no no, don't you worry about me buttercup.
He takes a step forward, getting slightly in the face of The Champion.
[[Robert Roode]] I take accountability for my actions, and the only fault I had in what took place 2 years ago? Was letting these losers dictate my every move as if they hold all the power...but do you wanna know something? Something I realized when I was sitting at home, dodging question after question from my sons when they asked when daddy was going back to work? They don't control my fate here, I do! I choose not to listen to them, I choose not to pander to them, I choose not to allow myself to be brainwashed by them, to allow them to stroke my ego. This is the bell roll of my career, and that is to spite them, that is to spite this notion that they are GOD around here. These people, the people you crack jokes for on the nightly, the people you strive to entertain with your silly bits? They won't be there when you need them, but sure as hell DEMAND that you are there when THEY want you to be.
Roode's disdain for the fans has been abundantly made clear with each opportunity he has a microphone in front of him, and right now is no exception. The constant ragging on them only incites the boos to keep pouring in as he speaks, but rather than paying them any mind he just ups the volume of his tone and continues talking over them, as if they don't exist...because in his mind since coming back? They don't exist.
[[Robert Roode]] Until I came back last month, no one gave a damn where I was, what I was doing, or what had happened to me...then suddenly I come back, and they're all singing to my theme music, they're cheering my appearance, they're celebrating my return...as if they think I'm just going to come back crawling to them all because they acknowledged my existence. Well no, that isn't what happened...and while you've done tremendous things in the past 2 years...while this last year specifically has been nothing short of incredible? You are not going to beat me, because you can't, because I haven't worked my ass off to get this opportunity just to let it slip through my fingers, just to let your buddy Chad Gable get away with what he did to me. You are my enemy by association, you've decided to associate yourself with the man who robbed me of TWO YEARS OF MY CAREER....and you've decided to associate yourself with PROPERTY OF THE ENTERPRISE!
The Enterprise did seem to plan to seize control of all Championships in XWL, but with them being down a member due to Cesaro's untimely injury you'd think they would maybe shift that focus...but it seems as if they still view every title in the Men's division as their property, The Intercontinental Championship included.
[[Robert Roode]] That Intercontinental Championship? Belongs to me, and at The Slammys? You're going to hand it over, whether you like it or not...because I'm tired of just being full of guts, I'M HERE FOR MY FREAKING GLORY!
Roode throws his microphone down to the canvas, causing a considerable "thud" to echo as he steps even closer to Sabin and allows him to stare into his eyes, to see how determined, and beyond that...how CERTAIN he is that The Intercontinental Championship is his, and he is going to indeed collect it from him at The Slammy Awards when they clash one on one.
Chris Sabin Well, I guess there's only one thing left to do...
Sabin lowers the Intercontinental Championship from his shoulder down to his side before dropping it onto the canvas and tosses the microphone over his shoulder, creating a handful of thuds after it connects with the thinly layered padding on the outside of the ring, each lessening in volume as it becomes stationary. The live audience in attendance is excited to see the former Intercontinental Champion get what's coming to him after he turned his back on them and just when it seemed like we would get a preview of what's to come, a smirk appears on Sabin's face as he extends his arm towards the Glorious One.
Chris Sabin Good luck.
The majority of the crowd doesn't hear this but it's easily picked up on the camera's microphone. Roode looks down at Sabin's extended hand, perplexed at the gesture to say the least. The cogs begin to turn in his mind as a subtle smile appears on his face. He goes to extend his arm to meet the Champion's, less than good intentions clearly in his mind, but just before it makes contact, Sabin pulls it away, mouthing “It pays to be Roode” before dropping onto his back and rolling out of the ring, taking possession of the Intercontinental Championship before making his way up the ramp with a smile on his face, leaving a fuming Roode in the ring. Sabin lifts the Intercontinental Championship high into the air while walking backwards up the ramp, the last image shown is that of Champion and Challenger staring each other down from opposite ends of the arena.

We come away from what is sure to be an awesome wrestling spectacle between Bobby Roode and Chris Sabin to see a room that is filled with purple mist. A calming jazz like instrumental flows gently into your ears. There is a shadow in the mist. It's movements are captivating. The way it almost slithers through the mist sensually you find it hard to take your eyes away from it
The Velveteen Dream makes his presence known. Slowly but surely he walks through the purple haze. His eyes close slowly, soaking in the moment he's been waiting so long for since he was brutally attacked and knocked off tv. His eyes open and he look towards the camera, towards you
Velveteen Dream ...Imagine coming out tonight to see a...okay show. Having no idea that you were about to be blessed and gift'd the presence that is The Velveteen Dream. Count yourselves as lucky. Lucky and cursed. See, months ago XWL was graced by my being on a weekly bases. Life can be cruel though as I was attacked. I sat at home, watching others succeed and fail. The Dream watched anxiously. But...that anxiety turned into excitement. See, there has always been a hierarchy here in XWL. And Matt Sydal sits atop that hierarchy. The king of the men. Meanwhile Natalya used to lord over as the queen on the women. Not matter who the champions were of their division the show, the attention revolved around those two. But...Those two are gone. And in their place new faces have come to take the spotlight. XWL truly in in a new era. And that...it pleases The Dream
Dream snaps his fingers and the haze overtakes him. It clouds the screen for a good ten seconds before it slowly pulls back revealing The Dream sitting comfortably on a lavish purple couch
Velveteen Dream There is a spot for the taking. Does The Dream want to win titles. Of course. Will The Dream win titles. Of course. But The Dream...The Dream thinks beyond that. While some men and women's legacy will live and die by the amount of gold they hold over their shoulders or around their waste The Dream will build a legacy. An empire. And when that happens this face...will be the face of XWL. A throne is empty and is just waiting for someone with the physical prowess....
Velveteen Dream The Charisma...
Velveteen Dream ...And the drive to take it all for himself. XWL is about to enter a different era. A new era. I'll erase this nightmare we're all living in and bring us to new...Dream...But, not till next week. I have graced you all and I know you're very grateful, but The Dream has plans to make. You're welcome for the experience you have received tonight. However Orlando Florida, Dream Over
With a snap of his fingers the mist comes flying forward and everything fades to black

Cyberslam continues as a black pick-up truck rolls up into the parking lot of the Amway Center. Stepping out of the driver's seat is XWL's resident Viking, Sarah Logan. As she shuts the door, her best friend, Ruby Riott is seen walking around the front end of the truck. Sarah flashes a smirk and pats Ruby on the back before grabbing their bags out of the truck bed, carrying both of their bags over her shoulders as they begin walking into the arena.
While Sarah looks confident that Ruby will prevail in her match against Nia Jax, Ruby simply looks determined, focused to finally get past this obstacle that Vince McMahon has placed into her path. Focused on championship gold, the title that will be decided upon in the main event of the evening. As Ruby gets into the arena, she's immediately greeted by Charly Caruso.
[Charly Caruso] Ruby Riott, tonight you will go one-on-one with Nia Jax. The winner of that match will receive a North American Championship match at our next pay-per-view, Ascension, in December. I have to ask...are you overlooking Nia Jax and looking forward to that potential championship match?
[Ruby Riott] Of course not, Charly. Look at what I'm up against. An absolute monster of a woman. Six feet tall, 272 pounds of brute force. I was tag team partners with Nia Jax at Final Stand. I've seen what she can do in that ring on multiple occasions. So if you think I'm overlooking that, then you clearly don't know what I'm about. After all...these people could vote in her new running buddy Charlotte Flair to be the special guest referee...and we all know she won't be impartial if she was given that opportunity.
Frowning slightly, Sarah gently nudges her friend in the shoulder, leaning forward into the microphone.
[Sarah Logan] ...Or I could get voted in as the ref.
[Ruby Riott] And you know that if you would get voted in as the ref, I don't want you giving me any handouts. I'm not in this business to be handed everything like Mandy Rose has been handed everything by her precious "daddy." Am I an opportunist? Am I going to strike when the iron's hot? You're damn right I am.
[Ruby Riott] But I want to earn that opportunity. And you know what? No matter what Vince McMahon and his yes men on the Board of Directors may think? I've earned a championship match outright. But I'm not going to just look past what's in front of me, Charly.
[Ruby Riott] So what am I going to do? No matter what match these people vote on, I'm going to put Nia Jax down...something I should've done six months ago. And then I'm going to look beyond my past and onto my future...as the XWL North American Champion.
[Charly Caruso] Well, speaking on your past...tonight, there is a chance that your longtime rival Alexa Bliss could win the North American Championship. And while you were involved in a bitter rivalry with both Alexa and her friend Kairi...you never defeated Alexa Bliss in one-on-one competition. If Alexa Bliss wins tonight...and you also win tonight, you will have to revisit your past once again and defeat Alexa to become the champion.
[Ruby Riott] ...
Ruby gazes up towards the ceiling thinking about how she wants to word her next statement, but Sarah gently pushes her best friend back a bit, taking over the interview.
[Sarah Logan] If you don't think Rubes is ready to beat Alexa's ass too, then you clearly don't know who you're talking to, Chuck. This woman scratched, she clawed through the dirt, through the mud like a goddamn soldier to get to where she is.
[Ruby Riott] Sarah...
[Sarah Logan] She ain't just gonna lay down and die at the top of the hill, she's gonna fight her heart out no matter who's in front of her. It could be Nia Jax, it could be Mandy Rose, it could be Alexa Bliss, it could be Linda McMahon herself, and Ruby Riott will put them all down one-by-one and become the talk of this industry, just like she was six months ago! It's not like you've ever even climbed in that ring, Charly, but if you wanna step up, I'll be gla--
[Ruby Riott] Sarah! Hey...relax. Look, I get it, Charly. You're absolutely right. I've never actually pinned Alexa Bliss. I've never actually made Alexa Bliss tap out. But does knowing that weigh me down? Of course not. I gave her just as much as she gave me when we fought in that ring. And if the cards fall the way they do, we might just have to settle our score once and for all at Ascension. But that's two months away, Charly. I'm focused on tonight. And kicking Nia Jax's big ass until I get it through Vinnie Mac's head that I'm the uncrowned North American Champion.
[Charly Caruso] Well, actually the results are in, and I'm being told to tell you that tonight, your match with Nia Jax will be a Street Fight.
Ruby's eyes light up at this announcement, a sinister smirk growing on her face that we haven't seen in months. A sign that the vicious, twisted side of Ruby Riott that tormented Alexa Bliss and Kairi Sane for months was still inside her. And that side was about to come out.
[Ruby Riott] ...Perfect. Sarah...you put what I told you to in the truck, right?
[Sarah Logan] ...Yeah...
[Ruby Riott] Gimme my bag. Keep Chuck entertained. I'll be right back...
Ruby stalks off back towards the parking lot as Sarah Logan is shown, a look of concern on her face before turning back to Charly, her words sounding as if she had seen a ghost.
[Sarah Logan] ...You wanna know the last time I saw that look in Ruby's eyes, Charly? It was when she attacked Alexa. When she was ramming her fingers down Alexa's throat...when that whole war began. That look...I'd be scared if I was Nia Jax. Because that's the look Rubes gets when she realizes she's got nothing to lose. And sometimes...she can't control herself when she gets into that mindset. You know how Finn Balor has that...demon inside him? Well...Ruby has...has this...this something just as dark inside her that she's been waiting to unleash. I...I gotta check on her...
Sarah abruptly ends the interview, jogging towards the parking lot. However, the camera follows her on her journey as Sarah stops cold in her tracks. Clearly gulping as Ruby Riott is draped in a black and white hoodie, standing on the truck bed with her back towards the camera, a black baseball bat draped over her left shoulder. But that isn't all.
A spool of barbed wire around her right shoulder with a mask in her right hand. Other objects are strewn about on the bed of the truck, including a toolbox, a staple gun and most ominously, a full can of gasoline and multiple books of matches. Ruby tugs the hood of her hoodie over her head, a soft, sinister chuckle heard humming from her lips as she turns around to face her best friend, a wicked grin on her lips.
[Sarah Logan] R-Rubes...
[Ruby Riott] It's hunting season, Sarah.
[Sarah Logan] Don't joke like that. I've seen that look before, Rubes. I know what you're capable of when you have that look in your eye.
[Ruby Riott] I'll be fine, Sarah.
[Sarah Logan] You're not the one I'm worried about being fine or not.
[Ruby Riott] What can I say, Sarah? Nia Jax is in my way. And it's about time I kicked the doors down and made it known that that North American Championship is mine. And if she's the one obstacle in my way from doing that? Then I'm just going to have to make sure she's out of the picture.
Holding the bat out, Ruby drops the mask onto the truck bed in order to grab the spool of barbed wire, slowly wrapping the destructive torture device around the wooden baseball bat. The head of the bat fully encased in barbed wire by the time she's done.
[Sarah Logan] I...don't know if she's worth all this, Ruby.
[Ruby Riott] She wanted to be the big bad bitch and get revenge on Alexa for betraying her. She ended up being an albatross around my neck for months. And now she's back to keep me from succeeding again? So now...I'm gonna show her who the real big bad bitch is in XWL...and that big bad bitch is gonna huff, puff, and beat Nia's big ass down.
[Sarah Logan] I think you need to stop yourself from going too far...
[Ruby Riott] Nothing stops until you're underground, Sarah. And I'm not stopping until I'm holding that North American Championship.
Ruby simply tosses the bat down onto the truck bed, grabbing a black garbage bag and quickly tossing in various objects from the truck bed inside the bag. Opening up the toolbox, she tosses a hammer, a screwdriver and even duct tape into the bag before hauling it over her shoulder, vaulting over the side of the truck and landing on her feet on the concrete before grabbing the bat, dragging it along behind her.
[Ruby Riott] C'mon...let's go get our war paint on. It's time for a raid...and a riott.
Sarah licks her lips, considering the consequences of either choice she could make. Knowing that the North American Championship had all but become a target of Ruby Riott's obsession, should she stop her friend from potentially mutilating Nia Jax? Or should she be there to help her friend? Exhaling, the Viking brute shakes her head, grabbing the bat from Ruby's hand. Ruby turns around confused, but Sarah immediately flings the bat across the parking lot, the sound of it slamming across the concrete some many yards away heard in the distance.
[Sarah Logan] For god's sake, Ruby, it's a Street Fight, not a goddamn Deathmatch! Hell...I've been in deathmatches before, have you ever even had barbwire raked across your flesh? You ever gushed pints of blood after barbwire ripped at your skin? I have. And I don't want you to resort to that. You're better than that. Do things the right way, Ruby.
[Ruby Riott] Whose side are you even on!?
[Sarah Logan] Your side, Ruby! I'm on your goddamn side! I've always been on your side, and I always will be on your side! But you're not going to that kind of place...whatever the hell you were when you made Alexa's life a living hell. You don't need to try to mutilate someone to prove a point! Just kick her ass and win the damn match!
[Ruby Riott] You know better than anyone that I've got to do whatever it takes to get that title around my waist. You coming with me or are you going back to the hotel? Because I know I'm going to need my best friend by my side.
Ruby sticks her free hand out, offering it to her best friend as Sarah stands with her hands on her hips. Taking a few moments to think, she finally grabs Ruby's hand, yanking the tattooed rebel into an embrace. The duo share a hug before entering the building once again, heading into their locker room as Cyberslam rolls on.

World Heavyweight Championship Match
Who will be the challenger?
A. Joey Janela B. Jon Moxley C. The Demon Finn Balor D. Keith Lee
In the ring, we see the newly rechristened Jon Moxley, the man that was voted in to end the reign of the Dragon that turned his back on the live audience in attendance, the World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan. On opposite corners of the ring, both Champion and Challenger are chomping at the bit as they await the end of the prematch ritual that involves raising the World Heavyweight Championship into the air, showing not only the crowd but also the people watching at home the prize that both these men are fighting for. Quite literally “fight” as history has shown that when both these men are in the ring, it's anything other than a wrestling match, it's a bloodbath waiting to happen and this will be no different. The referee lowers the World Heavyweight Championship from above his head and walks over towards the Challenger, extending said Championship towards him, causing Mox to nod at the gesture, could this be the night be becomes a five time World Heavyweight Champion? The referee walks across the ring and does the same motion to Bryan, who puts his hand for what could be the final time tonight if things don't go his way and with Bobby Roode, yes, I can call him Bobby, we're friends, emerging victorious earlier in the evening to become the Number One Contender to the Intercontinental Championship, the pressure is now on Bryan to retain the Championship he fought so hard to attain.
The referee hands off the World Heavyweight Championship so that it can be secured at the timekeeper's area while both these men engage in a war of a lifetime, the unlikely knight in less than shining armor facing off against the dastardly Corporate Dragon with the World Heavyweight Championship playing the role of damsel in distress. Over a month of frustration fills both men, Moxley thinking Bryan doesn't deserve to be Champion while Bryan believes that Moxley shouldn't have even been a voting option in the first place. Both men have fired shots throughout the weeks but one final push is needed to secure victory. The referee checks one final time to see if both men are ready for this Championship Contest to begin, the only thing keeping them both back is the lack of the bell being rung. Mox quickly nods his head, not wanting to waste another second getting his hands on Bryan while a single yet calculated nod is given from the Champion. Having received his confirmation, the referee calls for the bell, signaling the official start to this match. With their restraints now removed, both men burst out of their respective corners and rapidly close the distance between them, the live audience in attendance about to be greeted to a war to end all wars as they cheer for this long awaited rematch between former bitter rivals, a rivalry reborn for one night.
As they quickly inch closer and closer, Bryan and Moxley each ball their hands into the shape of fists, but who will get the first shot in what is believed to devolve into a bloody affair? Both their fists cut through the air at a rapidly increasing pace as the anticipation grows for the first shot to connect but they never do. Both Mox and Bryan stand mere inches apart, their fists in the air as they seem mirrored but why aren't they moving? Did someone hit pause? Is my stream buffering? What's going on? We quickly realize that it's neither of those things as a smirk appears on both of their faces, causing Bryan's fist to have a finger extended before it pokes Moxley in the chest, causing the latter to drop harder than Drew after he lost the World Heavyweight Championship. Dumbfounded and unsure of what they're seeing, the live audience aren't entirely sure how to react to this as Bryan drops down to the canvas and pins the downed Moxley. The referee stands there and much like the crowd, doesn't understand just what the hell happened before him. It isn't until Bryan shouts at him to count that he reluctantly drops down to his knees and begins the count.
At this point, the live audience in attendance process the situation and begin to roar is disapproval at their chosen hero being tempted to the dark side by The Enterprise. The referee's hand hits the canvas a third time, causing him to call for the bell, the expression on his face doing its best to remain impartial. He retrieves the World Heavyweight Championship and hands it over towards Bryan, who “successfully” defended it here tonight in a match of the night candidate against Jon Moxley, who is shown slowly rising to his feet after the brutal “war” both men just endured. It isn't long until Bryan's right hand in Bobby Roode makes his way out towards the ring and raises Bryan's hand into the air as both members of The Enterprise were successful in their endeavors here tonight. Moxley walks over towards the duo, causing Roode and Bryan to shift their attention from their celebration towards him. Bryan and Roode look at one another, a solidarity nod is exchanged before Roode extends his left hand in the form of a fist with the thumb extended and Bryan does a mirrored gesture but with his right hand, a moment reminiscent of when Bobby Roode joined the group. Moxley, mocking the XWL Universe, looks towards them for approval but only receives boos and jeers as their former hero has turned his back on them, similar to how Bobby Roode and Daniel Bryan did before him. With their negative reaction being what he was seeking, a smirk appears on Moxley's face before he extends his own hands and connects them with his new found allies, making his jump to the dark side official.
With The Enterprise now seemingly being back to maximum occupancy with the addition of Jon Moxley, who is left to not only try to remove the World Heavyweight Championship from Bryan's seemingly unbreakable grasp but stop them from attaining every Championship in the company? One thing is for certain: The XWL landscape has drastically changed.

Tag-Team Championship Match
Who will be the challengers?
A. Adam Cole & Dominik Dijakovic B. Kyle O'Reilly and R-Truth
After the theatrics of the XWL Tag Team Champions come to an end, their theme begins to die down as the unnamed team of R-Truth and Kyle O'Reilly and the accurately named Trash City Stupid Idiots are now both in the ring. The record setting reign of the once unlikely duo of Chad Gable and Chris Sabin is about to be put on the line alongside the Tag Team Championships themselves, but with the long list of teams that have fallen to TCSI, will Truth and O'Reilly be the ones to bring that historic reign to an end? While the “Stupid Idiots” from “Trash City” have been teaming longer than their opponents, one has to wonder if Sabin is looking past this match and towards the looming threat that is Robert Roode, the man he will defend the Intercontinental Championship against at the Slammy Awards edition of Anarchy. With words being exchanged between them earlier in the evening, has Sabin played his hand too early and will this allow Truth and O'Reilly to capitalize on their seemingly distracted opponent? Gable and Sabin hand over their XWL Tag Team Championships over to the referee, as well as Sabin's Intercontinental Championship but the referee places that one specifically under the bottom rope on the apron, seeing at it isn't being defended tonight.
The referee raises both the Championships into the air for a handful of moments before lowering them down and showing them to the challengers then repeating the gesture and showing them to the Champions before placing them besides the Intercontinental Championship on the apron, allowing them to be taken to the safety of the timekeeper's area. On TCSI's side, we see Gable ready to start the match as Sabin exits out onto the apron and takes his place near the corner, taking a hold of the rather short string on the turnbuckle. On the opposite end of the ring, O'Reilly is in the ring, taking the final few seconds of solace to do some last second warm ups but just as the referee is about to call for the bell, Truth enters the ring and heard mouthing, “I got this, Mr. Kyle!” to which O'Reilly responds with a nod, causing him to exit out onto the apron. With a last second change being made, the referee calls for the bell, signaling the start of this match. Both men take a few steps towards the center of the ring as O'Reilly is heard shouting, “Good luck, Truth!” which causes Truth to turn around and shout out, “Thanks, Mr. Kyle, I really appreci-” The momentary distraction allows Gable to roll up R-Truth in the center of the ring, the referee dropping down to the canvas and making the count.
1...
2...
3!
TCSI's theme begins to play once more as a surprised R-Truth is seated in the center of the ring while Kyle O'Reilly has his head in his hands, the unintentional distraction costing his team the victory in record time. Meanwhile, in Camp TCSI, a dumbfounded Sabin is shown in disbelief, mouthing “Was that real?” to Gable, who is equally surprised that the rollup worked. The referee retrieves the three Championships currently in Gable and Sabin's possession and hands them to their rightful owners. On the opposite end of the ring, O'Reilly has made his way into said ring and is down on a knee doing what we can only assume is apologizing for inadvertently costing them the match in such quick fashion. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT WAS A TITLE MATCH!?” exclaims Truth as O'Reilly tries his best to explain the situation. In the center of the ring stands the longest reigning, defending XWL Tag Team Champions of the World, holding up their Tag Team Championships high in the air. A few moments of this pose allow those with the benefit of flash photography to get their pictures but Sabin's gaze lowers towards the Intercontinental Championship in his other hand. With one obstacle now behind them, Sabin's sights are now set on defending the Intercontinental Championship but with The Enterprise's latest addition, is Sabin's time as Intercontinental Champion coming to an end?

After an emotionally-charged clinic of a tag team title defense, it's now time for Ruby Riott to face possibly one of the biggest challenges of her career. Right on time...
Nia Jax struts out onto the stage, extremely confident that she will run right through her one time tag partner.
[Ring Announcer] The following contest is a Street Fight! Making her way to the ring...from San Diego, California! Nia....Jax!
[Mauro Ranallo] Well, after that...interesting conversation between Ruby Riott and her best friend Sarah Logan...you have to wonder what's going through the mind of this woman, who just found out moments ago that her match will be a Street Fight, as voted on by the XWL Universe.
[Corey Graves] I'm thinking that Nia Jax is ready to steamroll past Ruby Riott AND Sarah Logan and look forward to a potential five star classic against God's Greatest Creation, Mandy Rose.
[Renee Young] What, are you some kind of wrestling journalist now?
[Corey Graves] I'm just living up to my broadcasting idol, Michael Cole. He covered wars, you know.
[Renee Young] Didn't he get fired and replaced by you and Mauro?
[Corey Graves] That's not the point, Renee.
The smirk on her face quickly turns into a disgusted sneer as she walks down the ramp, the crowd booing The Irresistible Force out of the building.
[Mauro Ranallo] Well, Nia Jax certainly seems to have no form of fanclub in Orlando tonight.
[Corey Graves] Oh what do these people know about anything? The best thing to ever happen to the city of Orlando is that they got a team in the AAF, and look what happened to that!
[Renee Young] At least they weren't a walking soap opera like the Steelers, Corey.
[Corey Graves] You're Canadian! What do you even know about football!?
[Renee Young] ...There's football in Canada, Graves.
Cracking her neck, the massive Samoan climbs into the ring, testing the ropes as she awaits her opponent for the evening.
[Mauro Ranallo] Well Nia Jax certainly hopes to channel the talents of San Diego great Ladanian Tomlinson by running right through Ruby Riott tonight to get to the promised land of a North American Championship match!
[Renee Young] How do you feel about Nia possibly going into a title match with Mandy Rose, Corey?
[Corey Graves] I'm an impartial journalist, you need to just focus on the action in the ring, instead of the opinion from a retired wrestler.
[Corey Graves] ...Well?
[Renee Young] Maybe she's just getting a last minute pep talk from Sarah Logan.
[Corey Graves] Or maybe, just maybe, Ruby can't back up all the trash talk that she let spew out of her mouth. Maybe next time, she should run her mouth and take her beating, instead of running her mouth and running awa--
The crowd in the Amway Center is in utter shock at what they're witnessing. This twisted, perturbing figure standing before them causing them to audibly gasp at what they're seeing. The figure slowly raises up to a standing position, eyes focused on Nia Jax who's just as shocked as everyone else in the building.
As the camera pans down, the signature tattoos and knee brace on the surgically repaired left knee tell everyone in the building that it is indeed Ruby Riott underneath this freakish skeleton mask. A twisted, sinister vision of Jack Skellington come to life as she slowly stalks down the ramp. Head tilting to the left and to the right, but her eyes remain completely deadset on Nia Jax.
[Mauro Ranallo] ...
[Corey Graves] ...
[Renee Young] ...
Even the people whose jobs are to not be completely speechless are...well, completely speechless at this transformation of the punk rock rebel as she quickly climbs up the ring steps, dangling her body off the middle rope as the skeleton mask hides a deranged, twisted smirk underneath.
As she scampers into the ring, Ruby finally drops the hoodie, revealing her trademark side-shave haircut before slowly pulling the mask off her face, unveiling herself to a shaken to the core Nia Jax while the fans and the commentary team remain absolutely in awe at the absolute spectacle they've just been a part of.
[Renee Young] I...I...what have we just seen!? O-Oh my god...
[Corey Graves] I knew Ruby Riott was a sick individual, but this...this is just...haunting, to say the least.
[Mauro Ranallo] Like the song from Like Moths to Flames, "It's hard to cope with the skeletons I keep under my skin."
[Renee Young] It...it's almost hypnotizing...This entire arena is just...encased in this twisted transformation of Ruby Riott...
[Corey Graves] Guys...I-I've been part of this business for almost twenty years. And I've known Ruby Riott for almost ten years. I-I've never seen someone just...change the atmosphere of an entire arena like this...and I've damn sure never seen this side of Ruby Riott...
[Mauro Ranallo] Completely and utterly bone-chilling, to say the least.
[Renee Young] Sarah's words about a 'darker side' to Ruby Riott seem much, much more ominous now...
The bell finally rings as Ruby simply remains completely motionless, a twisted smirk on her lips. Nia finally snaps out of the spell she's seemingly been put under, quickly charging at Ruby! However, Ruby goes low, dropkicking Nia's knee out from under her, the momentum sending Nia face first into the turnbuckles!
Ruby sits up chuckling to herself as Nia holds her face in pain. Ruby slowly rolls out of the ring, looking under the ring. The crowd still completely shocked at this change in demeanor as Ruby Riott pulls out the garbage bag from earlier in the night, sliding it into the ring.
[Corey Graves] W-Wait...that's the bag Ruby was chucking all the junk in Sarah's truck into! How the hell did it get under the ring!?
[Renee Young] I have no idea...but I have a feeling what we're about to witness isn't going to be good...
Ruby has a wide-eyed stare as she slips back into the ring, dumping the bag out. Duct tape, a hammer, a screwdriver, handcuffs, a steel chain, lighter fluid and matches bouncing down onto the ring.
As Nia begins to try to stir, she tries to steady herself on her hands and knees. Ruby quickly snatches up the ballpeen hammer, lifting it above her head before bringing it down, smashing Nia's right hand with the hammer!
[Mauro Ranallo] Mama Mia! Ruby Riott may have just crushed Nia Jax's hand with that hammer!
Nia writhes on the mat in agony, clutching perhaps a broken hand as Ruby just chuckles with a sick smirk on her lips, tossing the hammer outside. The next torture device? The screwdriver, which she clutches like an icepick, bringing it down and attempting to damn near stab Nia with it! However, Nia is able to move just in time to avert disaster by rolling outside, the screwdriver lodging into the foam turnbuckle pad.
[Corey Graves] Good god! Someone get this animal out of the ring before she kills somebody!
[Renee Young] Nia just avoided perhaps a very quick end to this match...maybe even her career too...or even worse...
[Corey Graves] Ruby said she'd win this match at whatever the cost...but she's going way, way too far.
Nia's eyes widen as she sees the screwdriver sticking out of the turnbuckle, completely in shock at the crisis she averted. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" She screeches at Ruby, swinging an arm at her from outside, her good hand considering her right hand is currently in severe pain. Ruby easily avoids the wild haymaker, however, crossing her legs in a seated position as she glares at Nia Jax.
"You're in my way." Ruby replies in an ice-cold tone, sitting back up before walking towards the opposite side of the ring, motioning for Nia to join her back in the ring. Nia tentatively makes her way back into the ring, but not before grabbing the steel chain laying in the ring and wrapping it around her left hand. Ruby simply grins as Nia enters the ring, quickly escaping out the opposite side towards the announce table. She goes under the ring to grab an object, but Nia grabs her with her injured hand by the hair.
Unfortunately for her, however, Ruby pulls a fire extinguisher out from under the ring, blasting Nia in the face, blinding her! Nia cries out as she rubs at her face, attempting to gain her vision back while Ruby slides in, hitting Nia with a chop block, dropping the massive Samoan to a knee. Bouncing off the rope, Ruby leaps, spiking Nia on the top of her head with her Hurricanrana Driver, the Rubycanrana!
[Mauro Ranallo] Rubycanrana! This might be it! Ruby Riott is going to Ascension!
1...
2...
KICKOUT!
[Corey Graves] Not quite, Mauro...
Ruby simply shrugs before mounting the massive form of Nia Jax, pounding the Samoan's face with vicious right hands. Working to finish off The Irresistible Force post-haste. Suddenly, the wheels begin to spin in the twisted head of Ruby Riott. She looks towards the stage, motioning for someone to join her.
As she turns around, Sarah Logan slowly makes her way down the ramp, a concerned look on her face as she slowly approaches her friend. She slowly places a hand on Ruby's shoulder, turning her around. "It's not worth all this..." She begins, however Nia Jax has risen to her feet. The massive Samoan charges, but Sarah pushes Ruby out of the way, causing Nia to inadvertently run over the Viking, sending her rolling out of the ring while landing awkwardly on her left shoulder.
[Corey Graves] That's what she gets for trying to cheat! Ruby tried to turn this into a handicap match, and her best friend just got demolished by a wrecking ball with a million dollar smile!
Ruby's eyes dart from her best friend to her rival, the punk rocker glaring a hole through Nia before leaping onto her back, digging her nails into the face of Nia, brutally scratching and raking her features before viciously raking her eyes! Nia falls to her knees clutching her face, allowing Ruby to capitalize with a vicious Superkick, dropping Nia onto her stomach. Ruby grunts as she pushes Nia over onto her back, making a cover. The referee reaching two before Ruby suddenly lifts herself up off Nia.
[Renee Young] Ruby, c'mon! You've got the match won!
Instead of capitalizing, Ruby looks over, grabbing the pairs of handcuffs laying on the mat. She quickly locks one set around Nia's left wrist, the other around her right before locking the other end of each pair to the middle rope, trapping The Irresistible Force in the ropes! Nia slowly comes to, struggling to free herself...
Just in time to see Ruby Riott standing above her, lighter fluid in her hand.
A twisted, sick smile grows on Ruby's face as she kneels down. "I'd say I'm sorry...but I'm not." She hisses before spitting in Nia's face. Standing upright, she squeezes down on the lighter fluid container, drenching Nia in the flammable liquid!
Ruby quickly grabs a lighter, her eyes void of remorse as she takes a few attempts before lighting a flame! Nia quickly cries out that she wishes to quit, pleading for the referee to stop the match, and he quickly obliges, calling for the bell!
[Ring Announcer] Here is your winner by technical submission, and the Number One Contender for the XWL North American Championship...Ruby Ri-
The announcer is interrupted as Sarah quickly tackles Ruby to the floor, pinning her down to keep her best friend from damn near murdering someone on global pay-per-view. The lighter extinguishes as it falls, bouncing out of the ring. "YOU WON, RUBY! IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER! SHE GAVE UP! SHE'S NOT WORTH IT!" The Viking shouts to her best friend, moving to a seated position and wrapping Ruby in her arms, hugging her best friend as Ruby seems to snap back into reality, blinking a few times before gazing at her hands. Panting for air as Sarah simply embraces her. "It's over Rubes...it's over." She mutters repeatedly into her friend's ear, Ruby's eyes wide as she continues staring into her gloved hands. Cyberslam fades out to a hype package for Ascension as Ruby audibly hyperventilates within the arms of her best friend.

We return from commercial break to find our Delinquent Champion standing in the center of the ring. In her hand is a microphone, and she seems to be pacing back and forth, repeating the same tracks over and over again. Her face looks as though something is weighing heavily con her conscience, and as her music fades and she raises her mic up to her lips, it seems we’re about to find out....
Wow.... Tess, I am SO sorry about what happened to your dad last week... I can’t imagine how hard this must be for you right now, but I hope that you can find a teensy bit of solace in the fact that I’m holdin’ down the fort here in the Women’s Division. Also, I will be proudly leading the charge to find out exactly who has got an itch out for you that only vehicular manslaughter can scratch.
Liv begins to pace around the ring in circles, clinging to her Championship while she raises her mic back up to her mouth after finding her footing once again.
But there’s just one problem that’s come to life in the midst of all of this chaos, and that’s the fact that.....
I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY TO DEFEND MY TITLE AGAINST TONIGHT!
The crowd begin to boo at the prospect of the Women’s Championship not being defended. Liv’s jaw drops as she nods her head with the fans, furrowing her brows together in frustration.
I KNOW! Believe me, I’m even MORE upset than any of you!... This isn't how I wanted to kick off my Championship reign. I wanted to charge in, guns blazing, kickin' bad guy ass, and welcoming any and all challenges! I wanted to prove why, after everything I went through to get here, that I DO deserve to be here, and I can stand at the top on my own...! BUUUUUUUT, unfortunately things don't always go as planned. Tessa's obviously got here hands full, and Bucky Lunch still hasn't shown her face since she got named and shamed last month, and, well... that just leaves me! So I wanted to come out here and thank you all for coming, and also apologize about my title not bein' defended tonight, but oh well, what can ya do? Better luck next time, I guess. Anyway, goodnight everybody!
Liv quickly sets her mic down, not trying very hard to conceal the cheshire grin on her face as she goes to bow out through the ropes when suddenly....
Linda McMahon is greeted with a pop from the crowd as she walks out. She walks out onto the top of the stage and she has a microphone in hand.
[Linda McMahon] I don’t think so, Liv Morgan. You are NOT going to get out of defending your Woman’s Championship that easily. We said every Championship was going to be defended here tonight and I am going to make sure we go through with that. You see, while Tessa Blanchard may not be competing tonight because she forfeited her rematch given the current physical state of her father, we made sure you would still have a challenger. Quite frankly, I wasn’t too sure who I should send out there to fight you. It’s something I’ve been pondering all week because I wanted to make sure we brought out the right woman and there is no shortage of talent in this division which only made my decision even harder. I thought I had my mind made up… and then I heard a knock on the door to my office. I opened the door and suddenly, I had the answer to all my problems. I have found your challenger.
Liv's shrill voice can be heard shrieking out:"WHAT?!... YOU DON'T NEED AN ANSWER, I'M THE ANSWER. I'M THE WOMEN'S CHAMPION! THANK YOU, YOU'RE WELCOME! TOODLES! BUH-BYE NOW!" Linda is quick to cut that bratty behavior off, however, and instantly raises her index finger to hush the Delinquent Champion like a scolding mother.
[Linda McMahon] You better watch your mouth, young lady, because what you say might come back to haunt you. I have a feeling this woman might not be in the mood for fun and games. Especially when you consider what happened last time the two of you shared a ring.. We’re going to need a referee out here because we have a Woman’s Championship match and it’s happening right here, right now!
Liv's dog whistle-like screams somehow manage to pierce straight through the mass of fans all cheering in anticipation after this news. Liv paces back and forth in the ring furiously, about to pull the pigtails right out of the top of her head. Everything was going just according to plan, until this old fart had to come and rain on her parade. Finally, Liv stops dead center in the ring, her chest huffing and puffing as her doll eyes burn holes through Linda McMahon like a child being punished for not cleaning their room. She clenches her jaw, biting her blue raspberry tongue as she shifts her focus from Linda to the titantron anxiously.
Liv Morgan looks as if she’s seen a ghost as the stage lights up a shade of purple that we haven’t seen in quite some time. Words moved along the titantron that read ‘LEGIT BOSS’ on them which could only mean the return of one woman. The crowd wasn’t sure how to react to the woman hand picked to face Liv Morgan here at Cyberslam. Were they supposed to boo Sasha Banks because of everything she’s done? Or were they supposed to cheer? Because everyone in the arena knew what happened last time Sasha and Liv shared a ring and they knew the Boss was here to deliver an ass whooping..
[Mauro Ranallo] Mama mia! Can it be? Is she here?
[Renee Young] Yes! Yes she is! Sasha Banks is in the building!
Sasha Banks steps out from behind the curtain and there’s a noticeable change to her appearance. The purple (once pink and red before) locks of hair were gone but they weren’t cut off. They were replaced with a deeper blue color.
[Corey Graves] I don’t know what to say besides isn’t it ironic that Sasha Banks has somehow managed to get herself yet another Woman’s Championship match? When is enough going to be enough? When are we going to get someone new challenging for the championship or are we always going to have to live with Sasha Banks challenging whoever is the champion?
[Renee Young] Give her a break! She’s been gone for four months and I don’t think she cares if she’s had more championship matches than anyone else. I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t even about the championship. We saw what happened last time her and Liv were in a ring together. Sasha Banks laid down for Liv Morgan, gave her the win, Liv attacked her, and then kissed her!
[Corey Graves] And that is all it takes to get a championship match? That’s ridiculous. Where’s Daniel Bryan at then? I’ll give him a kiss if it means I get to come out of retirement and be handed a World Heavyweight Championship match that I didn’t earn
[Mauro Ranallo] Are you ever going to give Sasha Banks a break, Corey?
[Corey Graves] Not a chance in hell, Mauro. At least one of us has to inform everyone and let them know the kind of person she is.
The Boss plants her feet at the top of the stage and she slowly removes her ‘LEGIT BOSS’ sunglasses to expose her eyes and those eyes told a story of their own. You could see the anger inside of them as she stared down the ramp and into the ring at the XWL Woman’s Champion. It’s far from the look we were used to seeing Sasha give Liv when they were as close as they were. The Boss was back with a vengeance because of Liv’s actions to her at Coronation. Sasha began to slowly remove her golden rings that covered her fingers and they were tossed onto the ground as well. Next came her jacket which she removed and tossed to the side just like her other accessories. Her knuckles were cracked before she began to walk down the entrance ramp with a divided and confused crowd to her left and to her right.
[Mauro Ranallo] I don’t think I’ve ever seen that look on the face of Sasha Banks. That looks like the face of a woman who feels betrayed by her best friend. You have to wonder if Sasha feels a little remorse because after all, Sasha Banks for a long while made a career out of turning on her best friend. Granted, it produced what is arguably one of the greatest rivalries of all-time.
[Corey Graves] Sasha Banks showing remorse? Give me a break. Sasha Banks will show remorse when pigs fly and Alexa Bliss stops bullying people and painting herself as an anti-bully hero because of it aka NEVER in a million years.
A referee quickly rushes past the Boss and slides into the ring to get between Sasha Banks and Liv Morgan. Smart move by him because there was a good chance this match would’ve never began if he wasn’t there to moderate things. Sasha doesn’t even do her normal entrance where she brings herself to the side of the ring closest to the hard camera and shows off to the camera. She’s quick to get on the apron but she hesitates upon entering the ring. Her eyes lock with Liv and Sasha briefly stares at her. Liv's expression, much like Sasha's, tells an entirely different story of her own. Eyes that looked like they had just witnessed a ghost seconds ago, now look disgusted by the audacity of Banks to enter "her" ring.
These two superstars arguably have the most history of any active members on the roster, and that history has lacked no variety of extreme highs and major lows. From being partners, to the absolute best of friends, to repeated betrayals and stabs in the back, Banks and Morgan's careers have not existed without one another for the last year. So many conflicting dynamics and emotions, all boiling down to this moment. The Brat and the Boss, one on one for the Women's Championship.
[Greg Hamilton] The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Women's Championship!... Introducing first, making her return to the ring.... From Boston, Massachusetts.... SASHAAAAA, BAAAAANKS!
The crowd explodes in support of the returning and only Legit Boss in the game. Sasha nods her head in affirmation, but keeps her eyes totally locked onto the pink-haired Delinquent standing across the ring.
[Greg Hamilton] And her opponent, from Elmwood Park, New Jersey.... She is the Women's Champion.... LIIIIIV, MOOORGAAAAAN!
The crowd seems a bit typically split on their opinion of Liv. For the most part, she receives a majority of boos from the fans, however there's still an undeniable portion of the fans who seem to support XWL's "Problem Child." After all, she was an underdog for so long on her journey to the top, but how much has that dynamic changed since she captured the Women's Championship that she is set to defend for the first time tonight?... Nonetheless, the bell chimes three times, indicating the highly anticipated start to this match.
so... here's the thing... we tried to record the match but Twitch isn't working for me, at the moment. I need to enable two-factor authorization in order to record but in order to do that I need to log into my account (on a computer) but I can't do that until I reset my password but it won't let me set my password to something new so we were shit out of luck and we didn't want to spoil the match to anyone who didn't need to know about these plans.
Liv Morgan is looking to create some distance between her and Sasha as she rolled out of the ring but the Boss soon follows. Sasha is right on her tail as Liv starts to flee from her challenger. They circle around one of the turnbuckles as this has become a full-on chase with both women sprinting as fast as they possibly can.
[Corey Graves] Liv has every right to run away right now. She had no chance to prepare for this match while Sasha Banks had what… Maybe a couple of minutes? Maybe a couple of hours? Who knows when Linda made the executive decision to make this official!
[Renee Young] If Liv Morgan was a true champion then she’d be standing up to the Boss and she’d be fighting her. Liv had no problems fighting Sasha months ago when Sasha had her back turned and wasn’t expecting Liv.
[Corey Graves] Renee, you know nothing about being a true champion so don’t even say that. You have never had a match. You have never taken a bump. I’m sure you haven’t even laced up a pair of boots. Come to me when you’ve done that and then I might take your opinions about what it takes to be a champion a little more serious.
[Mauro Ranallo] Will the two of you quit your bickering and focus on the match at hand! Look!
The Woman’s Champion makes a quick decision to attempt to escape from Sasha by heading under the ring - something we’ve seen from Liv Morgan before. It didn’t quite work out the last time someone followed her and either Sasha has studied her tapes or she’s just got some common sense. Sasha is quick to grab Liv Morgan by her feet to prevent her from going any further.
[Mauro Ranallo] There’s no escape for Liv Morgan! Not if the Boss has anything to say about it!
[Renee Young] Get her outta there, Sasha! Get her ou- wait a second.
But when Sasha pulls Liv Morgan out, Liv Morgan comes out with a kendo stick in hand!
[Corey Graves] Liv Morgan with a kendo stick! Please tell me she’s about to beat some sense into Sasha!
And Liv has every intention to use that as a weapon - the look on her face showing the wicked intentions - until she’s stopped. Sasha steps on the kendo stick and doesn’t allow Liv to use it which instantly forces the look on the champion’s face to turn into a little more panicked of a look. Liv tries to tug but rather than getting the kendo stick, she gets a swift boot to the face which causes her to grab at her face where Sasha hit and let go of the kendo stick as well. Sasha Banks looks down at the kendo stick, grabs it, and she lifts it up into her grasp which causes the crowd to react in cheers. The referee leans through the ropes and begins to yell at Sasha and tells her not to do it and if she does then she’s going to be disqualified.
[Renee Young] Don’t do it, Sasha! You can’t win the championship this way!
[Mauro Ranallo] I don’t know how much she currently cares about the championship. I think she cares more about sending a message to our Woman’s Champion: no one crosses the Boss and lives to tell the story.
[Corey Graves] Please do it! I don’t want you as champion anyways!
Her hands wrap tightly around the handle as she considers it and Liv Morgan is on the floor basically begging Sasha not to hit her. Sasha takes a look at the fans who seem a little more eager to take her side right now and they are cheering her on. A smile spreads across the Boss’ face before she swings the kendo stick and WHACK! She clocks Liv Morgan with it to the delight of the crowd but the referee has no choice but to call for the bell. Liv Morgan cries out in pain as the announcer speaks.
[Greg Hamilton] As a result of a disqualification, your winner and STILL the XWL Woman’s Champion… LIV MORGAN!
But it’s not looking like Liv is even being given a chance to celebrate her “win” since Sasha Banks still has the kendo stick held in her hands and it looks like she’s far from finished. Sasha Banks swings the kendo stick again and the wood connects with Liv Morgan’s flesh which begins to turn a faint shade of red where she was hit. The champion once again cries out in pain as she tries to move away from Sasha but the Boss is in pursuit of her former best friend.
[Corey Graves] Why did we give Sasha Banks a championship match again if she was just going to throw it away? Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad she threw the match, but we have a locker room full of women who would’ve loved this chance but no. Sasha Banks has to have it.
Sasha Banks swings the kendo stick again! The cracking sound as it hits Liv Morgan echoes throughout the arena as the champion is in a visible amount of pain right now. Liv begins to crawl away but WHACK! Sasha Banks again with the kendo stick. WHACK! A second hit right on the same spot that she hit just seconds again. WHACK! WHACK! WHACK! Sasha Banks with an onslaught of kendo stick shocks to the back and side of Liv Morgan - each one a little harder than the last. Liv Morgan’s skin is surely going to be showing the effects of this attack after this is all said and done. Liv starts to crawl further away and Sasha doesn’t follow her. Not right away. The Boss glances at the kendo stick and then the crowd once again.
[Mauro Ranallo] I see your point, Corey, however, these fans are eating this up and that is what matters in the end. We might not have a new Women's Champion but Liv Morgan is getting what she deserves right now after weeks and months of attacking people like Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Tessa Blanchard, and her father as well. The Boss is putting the slam in Cyberslam with that kendo stick.
Sasha glanced over and sees Liv crawling for the time keepers area. The Boss shakes her head and isn’t about to let the champion get away from her. She’s in hot pursuit as Liv Morgan vanishes behind the barricade.The blue-haired superstar steps closer to the barricade and she goes to look over the barricade. More than likely looking to find Liv so that she could reintroduce her to that kendo stick again but when she peeks over, in perhaps an act of desperation, Liv Morgan clocks the Boss over the head with a microphone that causes a loud THUD to echo throughout the speaker system. Sasha staggers backward and applies pressure to the area Liv connected with. She shakes her head and when she turns around to go back after Liv, the champion is already in the crowd and she’s escaping up the long set up steps in the crowd section of the arena.
[Renee Young] The Woman’s Champion has bolted out of here and is not going to be sticking around to celebrate her win!
[Corey Graves] This is terrible. Liv Morgan should be celebrating her win. Not running for her life.
[Renee Young] Running for her life? Give me a break! She’s only getting a taste of her own medicine.
Liv Morgan reaches the top of the steps with her championship clutched tightly against her chest. She was out of breath and areas of her side, back, and stomach for a slight shade of red from where the Boss was hitting her with that kendo stick. Sasha could’ve pursued her more but she didn’t. Sasha walks over to the announcers' table and steps up onto it before turning back to Liv Morgan. She motions at her waist before pointing to that championship that Liv held with the kendo stick she used to assault Liv.
[Corey Graves] Can you get off our table, please!? You nearly knocked over my water!
[Mauro Ranallo] I don’t think this is going to be the last time we see these two fight. Especially if Sasha Banks has anything to say about it.
[Renee Young] I don’t know about you guys but I hope the next match has a little something special to it. I don’t think these two women could handle having just a normal wrestling match. I’m digging the blue hair though. Work it, girl! You look good!
Sasha Banks is about to hop off the announcer's table when suddenly…
The Boss and the Women’s Champion both turn their attention to the stage when Linda’s theme plays again.
[Corey Graves] Please tell me she’s about to have Sasha arrested or something for assaulting our champion the way she did.
[Renee Young] Oh please. Would you be quiet? Let’s hear what she has to say.
Linda McMahon emerges from behind the curtain for the second time this segment with a microphone once again in her hands. When her theme dies down, she begins to speak.
[Linda McMahon] I think I speak on behalf of everyone in this arena here tonight when I say I want to see more from the two of you. Well, maybe not everyone. Liv Morgan looks as though she’s seen a ghost and wants nothing to do with you. I can’t say I blame her after seeing how you swung that kendo stick. Luckily for her, the show must go on and we do not have time to restart this match so, therefore, Sasha Banks, you will not be receiving another championship match here tonight. We do have a pay-per-view coming up soon called Ascension and Liv Morgan is going to need a challenger for her XWL Women's Championship.
The camera cuts to Liv Morgan who’s still standing amongst the crowd and she’s already shaking her head as she is realizing where this is leading to, as well as most of the crowd. Sasha Banks seems to have an idea but she still isn’t sure what to think about this second appearance from Linda. It’s possible that she’s not wanting to get her hopes up as well. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she willingly gave up this championship match by striking Liv multiple times with the kendo stick she held. You could argue that she didn’t deserve a second chance. Linda begins to speak again after that brief pause that she took.
[Linda McMahon] At Ascension, we will see Sasha Banks challenge Liv Morgan for the XWL Women’s Championship in a match with no count outs and no disqualifications. This match can end anywhere in an arena. That’s right! We will see Sasha Banks challenge Liv Morgan for the XWL Women’s Championship in a Falls Count Anywhere match!
The crowd pops as Sasha Banks nods her head in approval with an approving smile spread across her features and the announcing team begins to react to the announcement made by Linda McMahon.
[Mauro Ranallo] Mama mia! These two are going to be going at it again at our next pay-per-view!
[Corey Graves] How does she do it? Seriously… how!? Sasha Banks always somehow manages to get herself into Women’s Championship matches when we have a roster full of deserving women who should be getting championship matches before her. This is terrible. This is awful. I haven’t even paid for the event and I want my money back.
The camera switches back to Liv Morgan who’s not taking the news lightly. She’s shouting and screaming at Linda McMahon from the top of the steps as she clearly hates the idea of having to go one-on-one with the Boss again. She pushes her hands through her pink locks and her breathing is increased. Liv looks angry and rightfully so. The camera goes back to the Boss who had gotten off the table, left her kendo stick behind, and begins to walk up the ramp. She might not be the champion but tonight seems to be more of a success than anything. Sasha begins to look back behind her...
And Sasha flashes a grin at her ex-best friend and for the camera...

Subject: Re: XWL Cyberslam: 10/14/2019-10/28/2019 Mon Oct 28, 2019 6:40 am
As Cyberslam returns we are brought to the ring where the lights are dimmed. The ring is illuminated by the titantron, which flashes the words Miz TV. There are three directors chairs in the middle of the ring, two of which are taken by The Miz and Maryse. Hulk Hogan, who was just on the stage with The Miz before the video package, seems to have left. The crowd is letting out a cheer heavy mixed reaction as The Miz raises his microphone
**The Miz** LLLLadies and gentlemen, welcome to the Most Must See Talk Show in Sports Entertainment!!! Welcome to Miz TV!!!
The crowd lets out a cheer
**The Miz** I’m your host The Miz, and this is my smokin’ hot wife Maryse!! And you are all witnessing a night that is going to be talked about for decades!! The Miz vs. Hulk Hogan!! What a match that is going to be!! And get used to big names like Hogan making appearances around here more often now that I’m back. Greatness attracts greatness. And I’m more than great, I’m Aaawwweeessommeeee!!!
The crowd chants “Awesome” along with The Miz.
**The Miz** But right now isn’t about my match. No, this is Miz TV, the most trending, most must see, most prestigious talk show in the history of this industry. When I talk, people listen. When I’m on the TV screen, people tune in. So being the company man that I am, I use Miz TV to share my A-Lister spotlight with the rest of the roster… Tonight, my guest is one of my favorite active women’s wrestlers. She loves to hug, but you do NOT want to get on her bad side!! It’s Bayley!!!
Bayley does her usual entrance with floats, and makes her way down the ring. High Fiving the front row fans, even giving some of the kids hugs
**The Miz** Welcome to the show Bayley. It’s great to have you here on Miz TV. Please, take a seat. I have so many questions for you, and I bet that the XWL Universe is dying to hear your answers. After all, you are one of their favorites it seems like!!
[Bayley] Thank you Miz, I'm really grateful to be one of their favourites, it means a lot to me and it makes everything I've been through to get here worth it.
**The Miz** It really does, doesn’t it? After all, they might not want to admit it, but I’m a fan favorite too!! We’re very similar in that way. Another thing we have in common is that we’ve both just recently returned to in ring competition. There must be a lot of new faces in the women’s division since you were last here. What are your thoughts on the other women that make up the XWL roster?
[Bayley] It's not a secret, there's an impressive roster of women in the locker room on XWL, and so far, I've only had the opportunity to be in the ring with one of them. I might not agree with the way they act out here, but I know the talent that they all have, and I'm so excited to step into this ring with every single one of them. But if I had to just pick one, then it has to be Alexa Bliss. I just think we have this great chemistry and we flow off each other so well, plus I'm pretty sure it's a match that all of these amazing people in Orlando Florida would love to see!
**The Miz** Well Alexa Bliss already has a match against Mandy Rose for the North American Title. What do you think about all of the controversy surrounding that title? And is it something that you have in your sights? Or are you looking past it, and towards Liv Morgan’s Women’s Championship?
[Bayley] Oh I know, she's in the main event of Cyberslam, and I'm so happy for her. With everything that's happened to get her there, how horrible Mr. McMahon was to her, and losing her best friend, I just think that there's no way anyone out there could be rooting for anyone else! Personally, I hope they fire vince and reinstate Kairi, and then maybe suspend Mandy too.
Bayley laughs
[Bayley] But as for your question Miz, there's just too many names floating around the North American championship right now, and I don't want to get lost in the shuffle. I'd rather focus all of my time on entertaining the fans, and if that brings me closer to the women's championship, then that's just the icing on the cake.
**The Miz** I know that we are supposed to be “larger than life” superstars who don’t fear anything. But we are still made out of skin and bones just like everyone else, and like everyone else, our bodies can break and bleed. I’d be a fool if I didn’t admit to being nervous at the thought of eventually stepping into the ring with someone as big as WALTER or Keith Lee. Or someone as unpredictable as Joey Janela or Jon Moxley. Is there anyone that you are nervous about getting into the ring with because of either their size, strength, or unpredictability? Perhaps Nia Jax? Nikki Cross? Or maybe even Ruby Riott?
[Bayley] There's always going to be someone out there who's bigger than you, stronger than you, faster than you, but it's all about stepping up to overcome that challenge. Yes, stepping into the ring with someone as big and strong as Nia Jax will be intimidating to me, but I won't let that hold me back. Alexa, Liv and Charlotte have me beat in Athleticism, Sarah, Nia and Rhea have me beat in brute force, Bianca, Liv, Nikki, Mandy, Ruby, they've all got me beat at something, but that doesn't matter because I've got them all beat on something too, and that's the power of my drive, the power of my heart, and the power of all of these people, and as long as I have at least one of those three, nothing is ever going to stand in my way!
**The Miz** Well, if you look out at the audience it seems like you do have the power of these people. I see a whole bunch of Bayley signs and T-Shirts out there. I’m sure that all the kids watching at home would love to hear some words of advice from their favorite women wrestler!! I would say favorite wrestler in general, but we all know who that is..
The Miz smiles as the crowd lets out a “Bayley” chant.
[Bayley] The only thing I can say is to just always follow your dreams, no matter how difficult it might be, or how far away you think you are, just keep on going and work hard to get to the place you want to be, and one day, it'll be you giving advice to all of your fans.
**The Miz** Well said. I think I read that on one of those motivation posters.. Anyyyways,for my final question. What do you have to say to the women in the locker room who mistake your kindness for weakness?
[Bayley] I've always been underestimated because of my attitude, and I always will be, but to those people, all I'll say is continue to underestimate me, keep thinking that, and I promise you, I'll have your back flat on that canvas and the referee will be counting three before you even know what hit you!
**The Miz** I like it!! Those are fighting words!! Where you heard it here first on Miz TV!! Bayley might be a hugger, but if you underestim-
The Miz looks at his mic with a confused expression. You can hear him shouting, furious that the mic cut on The Most Must See Talk Show in XWL history. He continues to throw a fit about the production team when suddenly the lights turn an eerie dark purple. The crowd begins to buzz as they are engulfed in purple darkness for a few moments.
The commentators are even silent, so one could assume that their mics are cut too. The purple lighting is just bright enough to show The Miz quickly exiting the ring, helping his wife down the ring steps as they retreat, wanting nothing to do with this. Bayley however is standing in the middle of the ring, refusing to back down from whatever is happening.
After a moment the crowd begins to buzz. The Miz and Maryse have made their way to the back and to safety. Back in the ring we can see the reason why the crowd is buzzing. There is a silhouette standing behind Bayley. As the cameras zoom in we can see who it is!! It’s Nikki Cross!!
Bayley notices the crowd’s reaction so turns right around into The Purge (Swinging Fisherman's Neckbreaker) by Nikki Cross. She glares down at Bayley with a crazed look as the crowd boos. She then begins to laugh maniacally before exiting the ring. She makes her way to the back and the lights return to normal. Bayley is starting to stir in the middle of the ring, looking out towards the stage with a furiously dark confused look.

Cyberslam returns and we are shown The Miz standing in the middle of the ring, wearing his wrestling gear. His theme song is coming to a close, and the crowd is on their feet cheering.
The Miz Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Cyberslam!! The PPV for the people, voted by the people!! Sorry about Nikki Cross ruining the Most Must See Talk Show in this business, but the show must go on!!! And how are we doing tonight so far? Are we having a good time??!!?....
The crowd cheers
The Miz We had one of the fastest tag team title matches in the history of this company!! We had a finger poke of doom during our World Title Match!! But now is the moment you have all been waiting for!! I wanted to make sure that this Cyberslam was the best pay per view ever, for all of you! So I made a few phone calls, and got Hulk Hogan agree to return for one last match!! Who’s excited to see the Hulkster in action tonight!!
The crowd goes wild
The Miz Well you all voted for a Lumberjack Match, and seeing as I am facing a legend tonight, I found four Legend Lumberjacks for tonight!! You people really are in for a treat!! Here they are!!
The crowd goes wild as Rikishi makes his way down the ramp, he enters the ring and high fives The Miz.
The crowds cheers grow as Scott Hall makes his way to the ring, toothpick in mouth. There is a sea of “too sweet” hand signals in the crowd. Hall and Miz high five each other with the “top sweet” gesture.
The crowd is on their feet dancing as The Godfather makes his way to the ring, hugging all the men in the ring as the crowd cheers
Goldust makes his way to the ring, with his usual theatrics. He stands outside of the ring, as the other legends also exit the ring and stand around it.
The Miz Alright, give it up for these legends!!
The crowd chants “This is Awsome”
The Miz That’s right!! This is Awesome, just like me!! But you know who is the second most awesome??! Hulk Hogan!!!!!
But rather than the theme of the legendary Hulk Hogan, we instead ...get….. Mike and Maria Kanellis. Hooray. My favorite. As they are met by a chorus of boos, the camera cuts to Miz and the legend lumberjacks, clearly taken aback by this turn of events. Eventually, Mike Kanellis comes out, notably by himself, rather than with wife Maria. He already has a mic in hand because there is a God and he hates me, and begins to speak.
[Mike Kanellis] I know, I know. Not exactly what you expected. But don’t worry, it’s something even better!. Tonight, you no longer have to see an old, washed up Hulk Hogan try his best to keep up in 2019, you get to see the power in love live and in person!
[Mike Kanellis] And trust me when I say this Miz, I am the one with the power of love on my side, because me and my beautiful wife Maria are the true IT couple of XWL, not you and your little French model.
Okay but then where is she.
[Mike Kanellis] And as for the legends out here, acting as our little lumberjacks, I’m honestly embarrassed for all of you. I mean, really? Is that where your careers are that you have to parade out here for this sham?
[Mike Kanellis] Though maybe I shouldn't be so surprised that in 2019 Goldust’s oh so provacative “Look at me I’m AWESOME” shtick isn’t exactly drawing huge crowd and paying the bills like it used to. Tell me Goldy, how’s it feel that your brother achieved more success in this company than you ever did in your whole career?
[Mike Kanellis] And speaking of shticks, the Godfather? Really? What, did you offer on of your hos to the Miz so you could be a lumberjack here? How many hos do you even still have these days Shango? Do any women want anything to do with you?
[Mike Kanellis] And don’t get me started on our good pal Rikishi. First let’s talk about that god awful tacky Miz wannabe attire he’s wearing. You think he’s gonna let you come back and team with him or something? Give you a contract? It’s honestly kind of pathetic, and that’s not even starting on your dance moves. If you really want to improve I’d have Maria teach you, but I’m not letting you anywhere near her.
[Mike Kanellis] As for Scott Hall, I honestly don’t have much to say. One of the Outsiders, an original member of the NWO, growing up you were like a hero to me. Which it’s even sadder to see you taking part in these awful display of nostalgia and “the good ol days”.
[Mike Kanellis] But enough is enough, I’m going to show you all the power of love right here, and right now!
Mike Kanellis throws down his mic and I guess we’re just getting him facing the Miz instead of Hulk Hogan. Fun.
Mike’s theme plays as he stands over The Miz and demands the ref hold his hand in the air in victory as the crowd lets out the second biggest boo of the night, second to the one that The Enterprise got earlier after the World Title Match.
Mike looks down at The Miz and grins. He then begins to kick his helpless victim. The crowd boos turn to cheers as Scott Hall charges into the ring. He kicks Mike in the gut and then hits The Outsiders Edge on Kanellis.
He throws Mike into the corner, and Goldust props him up, hitting the Shattered Dream!! The Godfather follows that up with the Ho-Train!! And Rikishi finishes it up with a Stink Face!!
The crowd is going wild as The Miz gets to his feet!! He drags Mike into the middle of the ring and looks like he is about to lock on The Figure Four, but instead shakes his fingers “no”, and runs the ropes instead, hitting Mike with a Hulk Hogan leg drop!!!
The Miz and the legends celebrate in the ring as the crowd goes wild. What a feel good moment!!

David & Sam Break The Word Limit In Our Exciting Conclusion Part 1
Orlando, Florida "pops" as Alexa Bliss' dubstep theme sounds signaling that it is indeed time for our MAIN-EVENT! The challenger quickly steps out from the back, and her gear is throwback to one we saw her wear when she was at her most wicked, and given the fact that Halloween is upon us? It's more appropriate than ever. She's wearing a black leather version of her usual gear, but in the middle of her chest is a Jason style mask with narrower eyes, and of course her trademark pigtails. She's wearing a black leather jacket along with black leather gloves with red skeletal designs which she raises up to the camera before clenching her fists. But unlike normal when she clenches her fists, suddenly fire shoots up behind her, making a pretty sick visual for a match that is essentially taking place in hell.
[Renee Young] Wow, Little Miss Badass over here!
[Mauro Ranallo] It is now Friday The Blissteenth and we've been transported to Crystal Lake where an unlucky camper is about to endure the wrath of Alexa Bliss!
[Corey Graves] Excuse you, that camper one....has a name which is MANDY ROSE...and two, is the FINAL GIRL. Which means not only does she survive, but she also beats the killer, so sorry to spoil it for ya but MY GODDESS IS GOING TO REIGN SUPREME WHEN THE SUN COMES UP AND SHE EMERGES VICTORIOUS!
Alexa milks this moment for a bit, allowing the fire visuals to serve their purpose before descending down the ramp and eyeing the structure that's suspended above the ring but will soon surround the ring and entrap both her and her bitter rival.
[Mauro Ranallo] Alexa not wasting time in getting to the ring, she's been waiting to have Mandy all to herself since this all began and now that she finally does? She doesn't want to have to wait a second longer.
[Renee Young] Who could blame her? Mandy's been avoiding this for as long as she could, but with Mr. McMahon powerless, there's no power left to abuse. If she wants to retain her title she's going to have to do so via her own volition.
[Corey Graves] Are you insinuating that MANDY ROSE, GOD'S GREATEST CREATION...isn't able to?
[Renee Young] All I'm saying is she hasn't exactly proven she is, so the jury's out on that one.
The Challenger steps up onto the apron, looking out into the crowd that's fully behind her before stepping through the ropes and throwing her jacket off of her. She backs into the corner then looks to the stage, again...impatient as ever for The North American Champion to join her so that this match can begin, and her reign...can in her eyes, end.
An audible gasp of awe creeps out from Corey Graves's headset as the rest out the crowd begin to unforgivingly boo the North American Champion. Suddenly a group of shirtless, well-oiled, and physically superior men appear on the stage as they carry out a plush and golden lounge on their shoulders. On it, of course, sits the North American Champion, Mandy Rose. Rose is sprawled out elegantly and seductively, with her Championship resting over her waist. The men are wearing gold, armor-like bottoms, and they all have a golden laurel resting on the sides of their heads. The Golden Goddess, however, is gracing gear done in the lightest possible shade of pink, accompanied by her ever-present gold accents and boots. On her arms and torso is a white fur jacket which wreaks of wealth and luxury. The men stop atop the ramp, allowing Mandy to wave down at all of her (not so) loyal subjects. After a few seconds, they begin marching in unison as they carry the Champion down the ramp.
[Corey Graves] An entrance fit for a GODDESS, ladies and gentlemen, feast your unworthy eyes on GOD'S GREATEST CREATION, the first and only TWO TIME and LONGEST REIGNING North American Champion, HISTORY MAKER, RECORD BREAKER, COVER GIRL, SAVIOR OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING, AMBASSADOR OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, MANDY ROSE!
[Renee Young] .... Did you really just make up like, 90% of those titles just now?
[Corey Graves] QUIET, RENEE! You're ruining a surreal moment in HERstory.
[Mauro Ranallo] Nonetheless, Mandy Ro-
[Corey Graves] HUSH! Just let this soak in.
Once making it down to the bottom of the ramp, the men all lower down to their knees as Mandy rises. The two men in the front offer their hands up to the Golden Goddess, who takes them so that the men can lift her off of the lounge and lower her down gently onto the ground. Rose grins as they unfasten her Championship from around her waist and place it over her fluffy white shoulder. Without giving them so much as a second glance, Mandy begins to approach the ring.
Mandy reaches out, grabbing the ring post for leverage as she whips herself around the corner with ease. She struts down the length of the apron until she stops in the center, still paying absolutely no mind to the screaming and heckling fans, or her opponent inside of the ring. God's Greatest Creation truly operates in her own world, which we all just happen to be fortunate enough to inhabit.
Rose grabs the bottom rope and kicks her legs up to swing fully through until she is perfectly positioned on the ring apron. She raises her hand high towards the heavens, holding her Championship in her freshly manicured nails. She tilts her head back and shakes her golden blonde locks out down her back gracefully while the whole world stops and watches in slow motion.
After a few lingering seconds of "bliss," Mandy shifts her legs back beneath the bottom rope as she slowly crawls backwards inside of the ring. Once fully inside, she rises up to her feet like a celestial phoenix rising from golden ashes. She raises her title up high once more, allowing her spare hand to slide down the length of her other arm until it rests on the back of her head, and runs down the lengths of her incredibly long and luscious hair. Corey Graves takes a deep, long breath which can then be heard over the headset.
[Corey Graves] Mmmmm.... Do you feel that?
[Renee Young] The sandwich I had for dinner rising up out of my stomach to resurface in the form of vomit in my mouth?... Yes, yes I feel that on another level right now.
[Corey Graves] NO! The air, the atmosphere, the aroma... Everything is different when in the presence of God's Greatest Creation. Thank Mandy!
[Renee Young] I think that's just the winds of change. You know, the ones that are about to make that title change hands here tonight, AGAIN.
[Mauro Ranallo] If Alexa Bliss does in fact manage to recapture the North American Championship tonight, it will make her the only one to match Mandy Rose's 2 Championship reigns.
[Corey Graves] Blasphemy! Both of you, blasphemers! May Mandy have mercy on your souls!
Before the cell lowers and this match begins, the camera focuses in on Mike Rome who is about to announce the added stipulation of this match.
[Mike Rome] Ladies and Gentlemen, for the final vote of the night, you were asked to determine the added stipulation to this upcoming Hell in a Cell Match for The North American Championship...and after the votes have been tallied, and locked in...you have decided that IF....Alexa Bliss.....WINS....then Kairi Sane will be REINISTATED as an XWL Superstar!
[Mauro Ranallo] The fans certainly want Bliss to win, and Kairi to return to her rightful place as a Superstar on this roster.
[Corey Graves] Yeah well I wanted Mandy to be granted a restraining order, I guess we both can't get what we want because Mandy is NOT losing. Do you really think this is some storybooking end? Oh Alexa wins, and gets her title back, and her friend that was fired when she lost the title? PUH-LEASE...this is reality. This isn't some Disney movie with gumdrops, rainbows and glass slippers. When the clock strikes midnight Kairi STILL won't have a job, and Alexa Bliss? STILL won't be Champion.
As Champion and Challenger back into their respective corners, the mood in the arena is nothing short of electric. 6 months these two Women have forged a rivalry that has been ever-changing, and ever-entertaining to follow. But on this night? It all comes to an end in one grand finale here in The Main-Event. Together they have elevated The North American Championship thanks to their highly talked about rivalry, and for the past two straight Pay-Per-Views? They have put on Match Of The Night performances. Because when they stand in the same ring together? They make magic, they make moments where you can't help but have your eyes glued to the screen to see what happens next. This personal clash has seen both Women end each other's reigns as North American Champion...it's seen controversy in many forms, all of that has ultimately been at the quest to be North American Champion.
Mandy Rose started this rivalry as the defending Champion, and tonight in their final match...we have gone back to square one as she again finds herself fighting off the very fired up challenger in Alexa Bliss. As the camera focuses in on Alexa, you see the intensity in her eyes, you feel the rage bubbling out of her as her fists remain clenched by her side. Her gear of choice tonight is a message, a message that this encounter inside hell? Is going to be a massacre. They're not at Camp Crystal Lake, but Alexa Bliss is channeling her inner Jason, and she's ready to make The Golden Goddess feels all five feet of her fury. The camera shifts over to The North American Champion's side of the ring, showing her very stark difference in her attire compared to her opponent. She's wearing a soft pink version of her normal attire, with rose gold accents. Perhaps sending a message in her own way that she isn't worried about tonight, and she doesn't need to wear some "scary" gear to intimidate her opponent because ultimately? She's walking out of hell itself STILL North American Champion. Unlike Alexa, her demeanor isn't full of rage and disdain, it's indifference. She's ready to get this over with because in her eyes? She's wasted enough time dealing with Alexa Bliss and once she puts her down tonight? She'll finally be free of her, even if the fans didn't vote in favor of her options that could have earned her a restraining order against Alexa, or even saw Alexa Bliss fired when she loses tonight.
No, this encounter we are about to witness has an added stipulation per the fans vote. If Alexa Bliss wins? Then her best friend Kairi Sane, the woman who was fired at last month's Pay-Per-View Warzone when she came to the defense of then defending Champion Alexa? Will officially have her firing overturned, and will once again be a member of The XWL Roster. For Alexa, it makes sense why she's so moody as she stares across the ring at her opponent. Because not only does she despise the person before her? But she knows that tonight there is no holding back, there is no playing it safe, there is no falling for any tricks or schemes that Rose may be plotting...after all she's seemed to have something new ready and waiting for Bliss with nearly every encounter they've had. Alexa HAS to win tonight, or else every moment that Kairi Sane was there for her? Was ultimately for nothing because the one time that Kairi needs her? She would have failed her. Alexa is no doubt putting the pressure of the entire world on her shoulders, because she feels she has to. She can't let her best friend's sacrifice be in vain, she can't fail her in this moment because failure means that for every time Kairi saved her, she couldn't save Kairi.
The referee lowers The North American Championship that remained raised for the entirety of this spotlight on both Women, then he hands it to the time keeper who quickly dips out of the way as the cell at last begins to lower. Alexa noticeably takes a deep breath and lets out a slow exhale as her eyes peer up at the structure lowering around them. She's the one who cast the spell with her words that made this match a reality. Linda McMahon allowed her to name the type of this contest...and given the "hell" as she put it that she's been put through for the entirety of this rivalry? She felt it was fitting that Rose now be put through her own personal hell in being locked inside with the woman she has uniquely avoided facing in a straight up match since the moment Mr. McMahon handed her the title.
Mandy's eyes glance up as well, you do sense a bit of nervousness in her, as much as she tries to hide it...anyone that has ever seen a Hell in a Cell match knows that it is no laughing matter. It is serious, it is potentially career ending if it goes wrong, the short of it is this...both Women enter tonight knowing that their careers are at the very least shortened simply be being apart of this match. Mandy can put on the bravado, and remain stone faced as much as she likes, but the subtle "gulp" we see from her? Tells us she knows this is going to literally be HELL, she is going to have to LITERALLY endure the unspeakable horrors that this cell brings out of its inhabitants, and for someone that's more conscious of her image, perhaps a tad too much? She knows she won't survive if she doesn't get down and dirty just like her opponent will most certainly be herself.
[Mauro Ranallo] The cell is lowering, and once it has completed it's decent, these two Women will descend into hell, with no escape from each other's torture...all in the name of walking out as North American Champion!
[Renee Young] That look on Alexa's face as she stares across the ring at Mandy Rose is straight up nasty! She isn't here to play, and if I were Rose? I'd be careful because while Alexa Bliss may not be as "wicked" as she used to be...a match like this, has a way of bringing out the most sinister side of it's inhabitants.
[Corey Graves] Are you seriously sitting there doubting in the chances of God's Greatest Creation? Every Goddess has their dark side, and as cute as Alexa's whole "Wicked Witch or Wicked Goddess" whatever she calls herself these days is? Dressing up like Jason Vorhees doesn't make you invincible, all it does is make you look like some girl playing dress up...while Mandy is strictly geared to fight as she would on any other night. Sorry Alexa, but there are no miracles in hell.
The clang of the bottom of The Hell in a Cell structure landing on the ground echoes, as the energy in the arena gets much louder, bursting at its seams with anticipation for this match to begin. But they're not the only ones, Alexa is antsy, she is practically jumping in place for the moment the referee calls for the bell and her pure unbridled fury can be unleashed upon The North American Champion. With loud "ALEXA!" chants thunderously sounding throughout the building its clear the fans themselves are just as ready for Alexa to get her hands on Rose. The referee looks to Rose, then to Bliss, then gives a nod as he swings his arm forward, and calls for the bell! The very instant it rings, Alexa Bliss lets out a shrieking banshee like scream as she charges toward The Golden Goddess like a bull that has been staring at red for the longest time, and finally has been let out of the gate and is about gore the hell out of that poor unfortunate soul waving around their cape. Mandy, expecting as much from her challenger simply side steps out of the way with her best matador impression, and Alexa runs right into the corner, putting her hands out in front of her to stop from colliding into the turnbuckle. "THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN NOW!" Alexa immediately screams out, spinning around on her hee- ONLY TO BE MET BY AN INSTANTLY CHARGED BICYCLE KNEE!
The crowd falls into a stunned silence as Rose's knee drives full force into Alexa's jaw, and the impact alone turns her inside out, and...seemingly knocks her lights out in the process.
[Mauro Ranallo] WHAT A KNEE FROM ROSE!
[Corey Graves] HA! IT'S ALREADY OVER! THE MATCH WAS SHORTER THAN THE TIME IT TOOK FOR THE FREAKING CELL TO LOWER AROUND THEM!
[Corey Graves] OH BUT IT IS! COUNT WITH ME, RENEE!
Rose flips Alexa over onto her back, arrogantly shoving her hand over the face of Bliss in the process and covering her as if this is the shoot of her next magazine cover
ONE!
[Corey Graves] ONE!!!
The audience sits in their seats in disbelief, that after everything this rivalry has had happen, THIS IS HOW IT ENDS? WITH MANDY ROSE PICKING UP THE VICTORY IN PROBABLY THE SHORTEST HELL IN A CELL MATCH IN THE LIFETIME OF HELL IN A CELL MATCHES?
TWO!
[Corey Graves] TWO!
Mandy already starts to laugh as the official's hand smacks the mat a second time, and you can feel how proud of herself she is. Alexa couldn't stop talking about how she needed the rules to be bent to beat her, how in a fair fight Rose would lose...but look at where we are now, literally 30 seconds into this match and it's ALREADY OVER! Rose readies her victory smile, using her free hand to primp up her already perfect hair considering this match LITERALLY JUST BEGAN SO NOT ONLY DID SHE NOT BREAK A SWEAT BUT SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A SINGLE STRAND OF HAIR FALL OUT OF PLACE!
[Corey Graves] AND THREE!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, HASHTAG ANDSTILL NORTH AMERI-
Alexa's shoulder flies off the mat as if the past 6 months just flashed through her head and sprung her back into consciousness! The audience jumps to their feet with GLEE as Alexa Bliss kicks out before the referee can strike the mat a third time, and while this is far from the start anyone wanted...this match is STILL going.
[Renee Young] A bit premature there, Corey.
[Mauro Ranallo] While that is indeed true, Renee...you have to admit that was way too close for comfort.
[Renee Young] I'll give the devil her due, Mandy Rose for once in this entire six month rivalry finally used her own merits to show why people like myself are so frustrated with her choices throughout the course of this rivalry. She IS capable, she just for some reason has chosen not to use those capabilities. Look at what she just did, within seconds of the bell ringing she used Alexa's blind rage against her, and nearly retained in the quickest finish we'd have ever witnessed inside Hell in a Cell. For her sake, let's hope this is a sign of what to expect from her tonight because as one of her biggest critics? That genuinely was impressive.
[Corey Graves] Well, it might not be over yet...but Alexa Bliss is just delaying the inevitable. The fact that Mandy Rose almost got a 3 count THIS quick? Says we already know how this match is going to end, and spoiler alert? Kairi if I were you I'd start looking at other career opportunities because Alexa Bliss isn't winning your job back tonight.
[Mauro Ranallo] What makes this match truly unpredictable is that there's a lot of factors at play. One we just saw, Alexa is consumed by her hatred of Mandy, by her frustration that she has had build up since the night this all began. While that rage can be harnessed to achieve victory, it can also be used against you and lead to your defeat. That was a very big misstep on the part of the challenger and if she wants to win tonight? She can't make many more of those because we saw how quickly Mandy turned the tables on her and capitalized with the greatest of ease.
Mandy sits up off of Bliss, her bronzed face in complete and utter shock. Her jaw is hanging wide open and her hands instinctively raise up as she directs her surprise and anger towards the official. A disgruntled: "REEEEEFFFFFFFF!" comes screaming out of Mandy's open mouth. She runs her hands through her hair as the frustration begins to sink in already. Rose points her finger at the ref, as if to scold him for his "slow" count, before remembering that the tides have changed in XWL since her last title match, and she may not have all of the sway over his position in the company as she once did. Instead, her index finger curls back into a balled fist as Mandy grits her teeth and stands up to her feet.
[Renee Young] Not so fast there, Mandy. Your sugar daddy isn't here to fire any ref who isn't willing to do your dirty work for you anymore!
[Corey Graves] Does your blind hatred and envy know no limits, Renee? Mandy is CLEARLY upset about the official's suspiciously slow count. Can we get a replay of that count, please?!
[Renee Young] ... Who are you talking to?
[Mauro Ranallo] Mandy's got to avoid letting her frustrations get to her early on in this match. While she has resorted to some controversial tactics to retain her title in the past, we have seen that Rose is capable of some impressive and powerful maneuvers, like the impactful knee that we just witnessed. If she is able to keep a cool head, she'll stand a good chance of defending her title once again tonight.
Mandy grips Alexa's hair, wrenching at the roots in order to drag Bliss up to her feet. The Challenger is dazed while Mandy arranges herself in front of her opponent's groggy face. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, ALEXA?! YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FILL MY SHOES...! YOU WILL N E V E R BE ME!" Mandy winds back for a loaded slap, but just as her palm cuts through the air towards Bliss's face, Alexa's reflexes snap her back into consciousness just in time to duck out of the way! Caught off guard once again by this resiliency, Mandy moves to retaliate but is met with a quick and almost immediate chop to the chest by Alexa! "NOBODY WANTS TO BE YOU!" Little Miss Bliss verbally shoots back with fire behind a few words of her own. She doesn't waste much time speaking, however, and comes right back at Mandy with another stinging chop that sends the Champion stumbling back a few steps. Bliss reloads and delivers ANOTHER chop, and ANOTHER, and ANOTHER until Rose finally finds her way back against the ropes. Then and only then does Alexa temporarily finish her off with a slap of her own!
[Renee Young] That's what I'm talkin' about!
[Corey Graves] This is beyond uncalled for! This is OVERKILL! It's suddenly beginning to make a lot of sense why you support Alexa so much, Renee. You both never know when you've taken things too far!
[Renee Young] I'm sorry, "too far?" Was it not "too far" when Mandy Rose engaged in an affair with the Chairman and acting General Manager of XWL? Where's that line for your girl, Graves?
[Corey Graves] What Mandy Rose does in her free time behind closed doors and who she does that with is NO business of yours OR Alexa Bliss! I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation, as her Greatness has indicated, but I see no logical explanation as to why Mandy's divine privacy was VIOLATED and EXPLOITED by Alexa Bliss for personal gain. Where is the justice system?!
[Renee Young] I'd say your Golden Goddess knows a little too much about personal gain, considering that's all she's ever looked out for.
Mandy clutches at her face, dropping to her knees and instantly crawling away towards the official. Rose can be heard whimpering and pleading with the ref, insisting that he halt the match as her most prized possession may have been damaged. Alexa rolls her eyes, arguing at the ref that the posh Champion is totally "fine." The official humors her for a quick second, ensuring that no legitimate damage had been done, but that moment professional safety was all it took for Rose to catch Bliss off guard once again. Mandy lunges passed the ref, grabbing the protesting Alexa by the trunks and sending her throat first against the bottom rope! Bliss reaches up to relieve her neck from the blow, but Mandy quickly presses her golden knee square onto the upper back of Alexa. Mandy grinds her knee deeper between Bliss's shoulder blades, gripping the middle rope for leverage as Bliss squirms and chokes. Unfortunately for Alexa, this is all legal inside of Hell in a Cell. Five Feet of Fury begins desperately flailing her arms back, hoping to catch God's Greatest Creation in the process to force a release. Luckily for Bliss, she manages to entangle her fingers in a handful of Mandy's luscious, golden locks. She clenches her fists and tugs for her life. Mandy groans at the sudden tension between her hair and sensitive roots, finally pulling her knee off of Alexa. Bliss gasps for air, bring up her opposite hand to rub her damaged throat while keeping a firm hold on Mandy's locks.
Little Miss Bliss-ed Off steps through the ropes, still maintaining her entangled grasp of Mandy's hair, then with Rose helplessly at Alexa's mercy? Things get...interesting to say the least. Alexa raises her arm up, so that Mandy's hair is resting on the top rope, then she looks back at The Champion who is voicing a few choice words at her. "DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THESE EXTENSIONS COST? GET YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OFF OF IT!" This barking of orders only makes Alexa's grasp tighten as she flashes a devious look before jumping forward off of the apron, and gives Mandy Rose a hangup she won't soon forget. Mandy squeals and screeches as Alexa dangles off the edge of the ring, pulling with all of her fury, and the added distance the ropes naturally created, and Mandy is literally back against the ropes, with the back of her neck but most specifically her hair pushing against the ropes creating one torturous experience. The only way to describe what we are seeing is to call it a hangman guillotine hair pull. But this is a far cry from the diva's division hairpulls that plagued offense in the early days of XWL. No, this is an upgraded version that literally rendering Mandy Rose powerless from doing anything but feeling unimaginable pain that comes from the hair in your scalp being in danger of getting ripped out in the most awkward of ways.
[Corey Graves] NOT HER HAIR, ANYTHING BUT HER HAIR!
[Renee Young] Alexa already getting creative inside this structure, taking full advantage of the no disqualifications stipulation that comes with this structure.
[Mauro Ranallo] It's far from pretty, but that is what you have to do you have to get gritty to achieve victory inside Hell in a Cell and Alexa Bliss is doing just that.
[Renee Young] She's literally dangling on the side of the ring, supported solely by Mandy's hair, just wow she's hitting Mandy where it hurts. This won't win her the match but it's a start.
[Mauro Ranallo] Actually, Renee...it very well could if we're being technical here. This is a submission of sorts, and if Mandy cannot take the pain or find freedom? She may have no other choice.
[Corey Graves] Mandy's not going to tap out just because her hair is being pulled...
[Renee Young] I certainly would hope not.
The referee does lean in to Mandy asking if she wants to continue, because while unorthodox as it may be...Alexa's got a submission of sorts applied and if she so chooses. Alexa kicks her feet against the edge of the ring, flailing to further amp up the pressure as Mandy herself flails and screams out bloody murder as if she's in some horror movie and the killer is giving her a slow and painful demise. Which, while Alexa may be donning her best Jason inspired gear...this is far from a horror movie scene. Even if Rose certainly is acting like it is. Sometimes the most simple of actions are the most effective and this guillotine hair pull is proving quite effective for the challenger. Mandy knowing that something has to be done, or else she'll not only potentially lose her title, but her beloved hair as well...she decides turnabout is fair play. Her hands begin to reach behind her trying to grab at Alexa, but specifically at a certain part of Alexa....her hair! "This bitch wants to pull my hair well let's see how you like it" we imagine her inner monologue says as both of her hands grab Alexa's hair and starts to use Alexa's own position against her, and suddenly we've got ourselves a double sided hangman hair pull guillotine!
[Corey Graves] WE STAN A CRAFTY GODDESS!
[Renee Young] Both Women are refusing to let go, as the saying goes they may snatch each other bald all in the name of leaving tonight as North American Champion!
Alexa now finds herself crying out in pain as the pressure is shifted to her now as well. She may still be hurting Mandy, but that hurting is hitting her and it's a battle to see who will let go and be spared the agony first. At least, that is what we would expect in this situation, right? For one of them to let go, they both fall to their respective positions, and that's that...right? Well maybe from some other opponents, but as we've established from previous encounters, you never can know what to expect when they clash and that statement is reaffirmed when Mandy suddenly being the more powerful of the two lets out a ferocious cry and and POWERS Alexa Bliss BACK up onto the apron, alleviating some of the pressure for both of them, but she doesn't stop there...no, she uses that same power to FLIP Alexa Bliss back into the ring, The Challenger's feet planting onto the mat in one fluid motion...the grips of each other's hair broken, and Mandy suddenly starts to double underhook Alexa's arms...LOOKING TO PUT HER AWAY WITH THE BED OF ROSES!
[Mauro Ranallo] What POWER from The Champion!
[Renee Young] She just flipped her back over the ropes, into the ring and she's trying to secure her for The Bed Of Roses...if she can hit this, that might be it.
[Corey Graves] Welcome to the winner's side Renee, it took you long enough.
Mandy begins to lift Alexa up for the double underhook facebuster that might very well lay The Challenger's hopes of becoming North American Champion to rest...but Alexa while caught off guard isn't going down without a fight, ESPECIALLY not this early into the match. She wiggles and shakes, trying to shift her weight so that it forces her back down to her feet, but Mandy is being stubborn doing everything she can to keep herself in control of Alexa's fate. A fate she plans to ensure is inevitable defeat. As she lifts her higher, ready to delivering the crushing blow...Alexa in a last ditch effort uses her elevated position to her advantage wrapping her legs around Mandy's head and powering her down to the mat with a hurricanrana that shifts the momentum back in her favor. But that hurricanrana wasn't enough to render Rose down for long, she starts to pop up onto her hands and knees...and Alexa seemingly expected as much, running off the ropes....LEAPING UP FOR THE CURB STOMP! But Mandy side steps it, then goes back to the old faithful snatching of the hair, and uses Alexa's hair to drive her down across her knee with a brutal backbreaker.
Alexa rolls out beneath the bottom rope and to the outside of the ring. Mandy takes a quick second to catch her breath before following. She grips Bliss by the roots of her hair once again, which has seem to become a recurring and effective strategy between these two bitter rivals. Rose tosses Bliss straight into the wire mesh wall of the cell, but not hard enough to cause Bliss to collapse. Alexa maintains her footing, but is groggy against the wall of the cell. At this moment, the Champion takes a number of steps back to assess her target. She reaches down, and for the first time we see Mandy fold down her knee pad. Rose takes a look back up at Bliss, sizing her up before....
[Mauro Ranallo] You don't think....
[Renee Young] Not again, she can't be-
[Corey Graves] SHE IS! Something tells me Alexa's face is about to be caught between a knee and a hard place!
Sure enough, Rose charges at Bliss, full steam ahead. She leaps into the air with a bicycle motion, pumping her knee up to collide with the face of Alexa but-.... BLISS DASHES OUT OF THE WAY! Mandy's exposed knee finds full contact with the cell! We hear a shrill cry of pain as Rose collapses to the semi-padded floor in a nasty landing to say the least. She clutches her knee, writhing in pain as the distinct grate of the cell wall appears ingrained onto the knee of the Golden Goddess.
[Corey Graves] NO!... NO...! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
[Mauro Ranallo] If that didn't send a shiver up your spine, ladies and gentlemen, I-
[Renee Young] What wherewithal by the Challenger, Alexa Bliss!
Alexa leans against the apron, using it as leverage to hold her upper body up while she takes a few crucial moments to maximize her recovery. Although the match has not been going on for an incredibly long amount of time, the physicality that these two have brought out in each other right out of the gate is rather unparalleled and is incredibly telling of the raw emotion and pure hatred for one another.
[Mauro Ranallo] This is what happens when you spend the better part of a year completely tied to your worst enemy. These two have hard a number of matches with one another under their belts by now, they practically know each other's arsenals as well as they know their own!
[Renee Young] I think that's a great point, Mauro. This isn't the first, second, third, even fourth match between Alexa and Mandy. There is no one else in the company who knows the way these women operate inside the ring than they themselves do.
[Corey Graves] WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP! Can't you see that there's a potentially major injury going on here? Somebody needs to check on Mandy!
[Renee Young] Isn't that your girl, Graves? Why don't you go and check on her yourself?
[Corey Graves] I wouldn't have to if the official would do his job and call a medic! CLEARLY he's on Linda McMahon's payroll and has been instructed not to provide God's Greatest Creation with the medical attention she needs!
[Mauro Ranallo] This is a Hell in a Cell match, Corey... I'm not sure that it works that way.
[Corey Graves] I don't suppose it worked that way either when they wrongly hung Jesus on the cross, did it? One day you'll see, you'll ALL see! And when that day comes, may Mandy have mercy on your souls.
With her breath caught, Alexa looks over her shoulder at Mandy, ensuring she's still doing her best peter griffin as she clutches her knee. Then Alexa begins to kneel down, tossing up the skirt of the ring apron and looks to introduce the first weapon of this match. What will it be? It could be anything, the usual suspects are a chair, a table, EVEN A LADDER...but this rivalry isn't about doing the usual, it's been a never ending oneupsmanship spree, always digging deep into the pettiest parts of their souls to send a message that both hurts physically but mentally as well. Which is why when Bliss pulls herself out from under the ring, with something in her hand, the crowd pops BIG TIME as she raises the item of choice into the air. A pair of handcuffs, much like the ones that Mr. McMahon handed Mandy to bind Alexa to the bottom rope in their Three Stages Of Hell Match. Mandy shackled Bliss, leaving her trapped, unable to do anything but watch as The Golden Goddess ascended up the ladder and became A TWO TIME North American Champion. The significance of these cuffs are unmistakable, and Little Miss Bliss is about to issue a hefty dosage of payback.
[Corey Graves] What the hell is she going to do with those?
[Mauro Ranallo] Nothing that will lead to a victory anytime soon, but at this part of tonight's Main-Event? I don't think Alexa is concerned about a quick victory, she wants to make The Champion suffer...and I'd say Rose is about to be, ironically enough since you brought it up Corey, crucified.
[Renee Young] Look at that, you spoke it into existence, Corey.
[Corey Graves] Don't you put this on me, this is on all of you for supporting a manic Woman like Bliss, she believes she's this martyr to cast out evil, WHEN SHE'S CLEARLY THE MOST EVIL IN THIS MATCH! Look at her she's about to handcuff Mandy, YOU CAN'T PIN SOMEONE IF THEY'RE HANDCUFFED!
[Renee Young] It's like Mauro said, the night is young...and Alexa Bliss is far from done with making Mandy pay for everything she's put her through for the past 6 months.
The Former Champion turns to follow through with her plan, but Mandy's gotten wise to what's up and she's started to try and escape for the time being to lick her wounds. She's got her head underneath the ring apron, and slowly is crawling, dragging her hurt knee with her. Alexa obviously has no desire to allow Rose a reprieve, so she pursues after her. She grabs Mandy by her golden boot starting to drag her out from under the ring, but Rose is refusing to go without a struggle. She screams "GET OFF OF ME YOU PSYCHOPATH!" Alexa decides okay fine, you won't come out then I'll come get you myself. She throws the ring apron skirt up, kneels down to venture after Rose but gets driven forward, BACK against the cell when the top of a ladder is thrust into her midsection and immediately catches the challenger by surprise as she falls into a supine position against the cell. The crowd themselves are stunned by the sudden inclusion of a ladder but as we know under the ring there are all sorts of things hidden within its depths and a ladder is typically no exception. Mandy returns from under the ring, dragging the ladder with her, shoving a toolbox out of the way as a Woman like her has no use for such a thing not when she has a ladder in tow.
[Corey Graves] Mandy Rose introducing the very item that brought all the stars into alignment at Warzone when she climbed it to recapture HER North American Championship.
[Mauro Ranallo] Yes Corey, but she can't climb the ladder and pull the title down tonight so she's going to have to re-purpose it.
[Renee Young] Judging by the impact of it being driven into Bliss, sending her unceremoniously against the unforgiving steel I'd say she is very well aware of that.
She's not looking to set it up and change a light bulb, she's looking at the cell, looking at her surroundings and allowing the evils of this structure to give her inspiration. After a glance at the cell, then at the apron, she lifts the ladder up, sliding it under the bottom rope, but not entirely no just enough to where she can lay the ladder up against the cell. She lodges the end of the ladder in between the holes of the cell, and creates a bridge of sorts between the structure and the ring. Again, this is all quite unorthodox, yet par for the course. She grabs Alexa by her hair dragging her up to her feet, then seems to have her sights on showing off her power in a new way...a POWERBOMB! She lines Bliss up then springs her forward, primed and ready to ruin her night and her chances of leaving with The North American Championship. Alexa however is not going to go down without a fight. She strikes Mandy in the head with closed fist shots, anything to temporarily delay the impending demise Mandy has in mind. When that doesn't work a quick fistful of hair and a good tug, and Mandy inadvertently stumbles forward. Bliss gets close enough to the ladder and decides her best course of prevention is to use the ladder's placement to her advantage. She grabs it with both of her hands then pushes off of Mandy's shoulders and onto the ladder. Still, not a great place to be but she's working with what she has. Mandy however is right on her tail, as Bliss carefully gets onto the apron, Mandy joins her within seconds.
[Mauro Ranallo] This won't end well...
[Corey Graves] For Alexa Bliss? Absolutely.
[Renee Young] I think he means in general, they're putting themselves in a precarious position, and with emotions high something has to give.
The scene that immediately takes place is a good classic slug fest. Alexa is the first to fire off a forearm shot that sends Mandy back a step or two as she balances herself on the apron, prompting the audience to cheer and audibly shout "YAY!" However not to be outdone, Mandy issues a receipt to Alexa in the form of a forearm of her own that sends her back a bit, avoiding an untimely fall thanks to her grasp of the top rope. This shot leads to a "BOO!" but their groaning is turned back around as Bliss connects with another shot, the next seconds that follow are literally a war of fists and forearms that the two Women trade back and forth, bringing about the reaction of "yay" and "boo" depending on their position with the crowd. But as Alexa connects with two shots in a row, she decides to go one step further grabbing Mandy by her throat, something that's pretty known for her to do, and we know what usually follows this disarming moment, and that's a leg sweep. But as Alexa tries to sweep the leg, Mandy sees it coming, moves her leg back so Alexa misses, then swings her own leg back forward STOMPING on Alexa's foot, which immediately breaks her choke-hold. Unable to react in time for what comes next, Bliss gets clobbered by a wicked forearm, almost as if it's done in a mock of her own. But there's so much pepper behind the hit that Bliss turns slightly, and mistakenly puts herself in a dangerous position.
[Renee Young] Wait, what's Mandy doing?
[Corey Graves] God's Greatest Creation is about to strike down a sinner!
Without warning, Alexa's arms are pulled behind her as Mandy brings both arms into her grasp applying a chicken wing of sorts. She looks down at the bridged horizontal ladder she previously tried to powerbomb Alexa through...then tightens her hold of Bliss as she lifts her fully up over the apron, her feet in the air, all of Alexa's weight is fully at Mandy's mercy...and Mandy has none for the annoying thorn in her side for the past 6 months. Fans try to rally Bliss, to warn her of the impending doom, but it's too late. The North American Champion hell bent on retaining her title, in the depths of hell she's been entrapped in...LEAPS off of the apron, bringing Alexa's poor unfortunate soul with her, as she DRIVES Little Miss Bliss INTO THE LADDER WITH A GLAM SLAM! The ladder snaps in half as the arena goes silent, a silence that doesn't last for long as a "HOLY SHIT!" chant soon echoes throughout the building.
[Renee Young] OH MY GOD!
[Corey Graves] You mean OH MY GOD-DESS!
[Mauro Ranallo] Mandy Rose silencing her critics, by absolutely destroying her biggest one of them all!

David & Sam Break The Word Limit In Our Exciting Conclusion Part 2 As the audience are beside themselves, still reacting with a chant that isn't losing steam, we see both Women lying in what remains of the ladder, and while Alexa clearly too the worst of it that move didn't exactly leave Rose without a few aches and pains. But in a match like this, you live off adrenaline. You have tomorrow to ice your wounds, to schedule a massage, to lay around and ask yourself if it was worth it. But that's the thing, for ONE of these Women? It will ALL be worth it because as they lie there with bruises in places you don't typically have bruises...they will immediately be brought to ease by the sight of The North American Championship. For all we know, this move could very well have changed the entire course of this match, and made Rose's title defense a damn near guarantee. She winces as she grabs her lower back, because after all leaping off the apron and forcing Alexa's entire upperbody to crash and burn through the ladder meant she had to sacrifice her lower back in the process even if that sacrifice was minimal in comparison.
[Mauro Ranallo] Regardless of the factors of Mandy Rose's reign up until tonight, you have to give it up to her performance thus far. This is without question her best offensive occasion we've ever seen from her.
[Renee Young] This Mandy Rose is exactly why so many have been frustrated with her, she IS capable. She isn't an Eva Marie, she is genuinely talented and gifted, she's just chosen not to actually use that to succeed.
[Corey Graves] I've been singing her praises since night one, this is no surprise this is God's Greatest Creation and he broke the mold when he made her.
[Mauro Ranallo] To survive, to WIN a Hell in a Cell Match you have to be willing to GO there, to BE able to DO incredible things and for The Current REIGNING DEFENDING North American Champion? She is checking all the boxes and she's checked a couple of them twice!
Mandy finally starts to push off of the snapped ladder, groaning slightly but knowing she can't spend time lying there and recovering because every wasted second is a second Alexa gets to recover as well. But what does she do now? Does she throw her into the ring and go for a pin attempt? Or, is it too early? Does she believe the best course of action is to double down on what she just did and inflict even more damage to ensure that when she does pin her? She stays down. We seem to get our answer when she shoves the half of the ladder she landed on out of the way and ventures back under the ring. The ladder certainly paid dividends for her, so now she's in search for another weapon to aid in her attempt at victory. She quickly slides a table out, and even more quickly drags it over to the cell wall closest to the announce table side of the entrapped area and starts to lift the table up, hinging one of the legs while leaving the other flat. As if she's drawing up her next beautifully disastrous masterpiece she leans the table against the wall placing the legs between the holes in the cell for support then looks over her shoulder at Bliss who, to the ERUPTION of the arena has started to try and pull herself up.
[Corey Graves] Are you kidding me?
[Renee Young] Alexa may be small, but what she lacks in size she makes up in ferocity. She is not going to stay down because her pettiness and desire to END Mandy, and her reign far outweighs any anguish she's currently enduring.
[Mauro Ranallo] Let's not forget this has been a long and excruciating journey for her. 4 years of bare minimum opportunity, forced to sit back and watch others compete in every possible match in search for greatness. She has been a slow burn Superstar, but in that time she's grown, she learned, and she's making the most of this moment because she certainly had to wait long enough for it to arrive.
[Renee Young] This year especially has tested her toughness, but mentally and physically and a match like Hell in a Cell? Means you have to be willing to overcome until your body just will not allow you to anymore, and with this match in the early stage still? Her body is not going to give up on her, not yet anyways.
Mandy presses against the table with her hand double checking that it's in place for whatever she has in mind, then turns fully around to run interference in Alexa's attempt to get back up. As Alexa's hand grabs the ring skirt, trying to use it to pull herself up to her feet, Mandy charges in and grabs her by her arm yanking her up herself, before grabbing her other arm and underhooking both of them. Alexa is in no state to really fight free, not so soon after what she was just put through, literally...like literally put through a ladder, you don't brush that off or operate at full capacity for a bit after something like that. So she's powerless to stop The Longest Reigning North American Champion in XWL history from having her way with her, just like Alexa claims Mandy has had her way with The General Manager Mr. McMahon. She lifts Alexa up off of her feet, suspending her into the air, then turns toward the cell and with again a devious gleam in her eye she charges full force into the wall thrusting all of Alexa's body into the unforgiving steel!
[Mauro Ranallo] Mandy Rose is just rag-dolling Alexa Bliss with EASE!
[Renee Young] Talk about an innovative move, that's normally the start to her Bed Of Roses but instead of slamming her down with a facebuster, she's keeping her up into the air and just ramming her into the cell.
Mandy pulls away for a second, backing up into the apron, then goes for round two, CHARGING FULL FORCE AGAIN RAMMING ALEXA INTO THE CELL! The cell of course is designed to maintain its integrity, but something being thrust into it is going to test that stability as the wall mesh pushes outward, and marks begin to form on Bliss' body as she is just in a bad way right now. Because this isn't just attacking one part of her, this is literally her arms, her legs, her body, and her face being plunged into the cell wall. There's no opportunity to brace herself, to cover up, to lessen the blow she is completely helpless and that's why Mandy is milking this moment for as long as she can. She backs away again, still keeping Alexa up in the air, we knew she was physically fit but this is taking that to a new level by just with ease supporting the entire weight of her challenger all in the name of hurting her. Ready to do it a third time, she backs up, then charges forward, but this time...Alexa shifts her own body weight, forcing her feet to lower back to the floor and knowing she has to act fast she uses Mandy's own double underhook again her by showing off her own power, albeit nowhere near Mandy's and channels all five feet of her fury to THRUST Mandy up off of her feet, and FLIP her overhead STRAIGHT INTO THE CELL WALL!
[Corey Graves] OH!
[Mauro Ranallo] Rose went to the well one too many times, and Alexa Bliss dug deep to deliver a back body drop of sorts into the wall!
[Renee Young] This structure is being used to it's fullest to inflict as much pain as possible and Rose just bounces off that wall and landed very awkwardly.
Alexa stumbles forward catching herself on the apron as Mandy ricocheted off the wall and landed badly on the back of her neck as she fell to the floor immediately watching the course of this match shift. The fans cheer, happy to see Alexa get back into this match, but they know the damage was done, so if Alexa hopes to level the playing field? She needs to deal a bit of punishment Mandy's way. As she supports herself against the side of the ring she looks down, and what does she see? What brings a light to her eye? The very thing she tried to use earlier on, handcuffs. They're buried under the half of the ladder that Bliss was introduced to against her will, and so she moves it out of the way casting the remains of the ladder aside until they are now within her grasp. Much like when she pulled them out from under the ring the fans "pop!" but this time? Alexa isn't letting this moment pass her by. She turns and snaps one of the cuffs onto the wrist of Mandy, then before Rose can even react, the other cuff is snapped onto the cell wall!
[Corey Graves] WAIT A MINUTE!
[Renee Young] The North American Champion has just been shackled to the cell!
[Mauro Ranallo] Shades of Warzone when Mandy shackled Alexa to the bottom rope...but what does the formerly known Wicked Witch Of XWL have brewing in her mind?
Fans have gotten louder and louder as Mandy's eyes widen and her jaw hangs open overwhelmed by astonishment as she looks to the cell wall and tries to yank her arm forward, but it's pulled back by the cell. She's utterly and completely trapped, like...now not only is she locked inside Hell in a Cell with her mortal enemy, but now...she's bound to the cell in a cruel twist of fate. Any true Blissfit right now knows what Alexa has in store for The Golden Goddess. But for those that don't? They find out quickly as Bliss ventures under the ring, tossing the skirt up, and within an instant pulls out...THE BLISS STICK! Again, a twist of fate as Mandy Rose used this bedazzled reinforced kendo stick to intentionally disqualify herself the first time she was set to defend The North American Championship against Alexa Bliss. This is the signature weapon of Bliss, she created this object to aid in her furious rise in the division, and while it's not as much of a mainstay as it once was, it is a trick she pulls out of her proverbial hat when the time is right, and when you're locked inside HELL with a Woman you despise? Is there ever a better time to call on an old friend? She raises The Bliss Stick up, smacking her open palm with it as her own devious smile forms on her face, only growing bigger as she sees the horror appear on Mandy's face.
[Corey Graves] Someone's gotta do something!
[Renee Young] A match like this is designed so that NO ONE can do anything to interfere, Corey.
[Mauro Ranallo] Hell in a Cell is torture personified, and Mandy Rose is about to feel the wrath of the woman she has poked and prodded a little too much throughout the course of their rivalry.
[Renee Young] Alexa finally has Mandy right where she wants her, all to herself...and well, may God have mercy on his greatest creation because Alexa certainly has none for her.
Alexa swings The Bliss Stick forward, cracking it off the left arm of Mandy who squeals out, but as she instinctively goes to shield her arm with her free arm...Bliss assures her there's more where that came form when she smacks her personalized kendo stick off her other arm resulting in a reaction much like her first. This is her moment, a moment she has been waiting for, a moment that overtime has been building up. She has Mandy, she has her trapped, and every little thing she did? Is coming back full force as she swings again and again, and again! Denying Alexa's right to accept her open challenge match at International Incident? THAT'S A BLISS STICK STRIKING! Going away on vacation after Alexa loses her cool on a Moment Of Bliss, and then overshadowing Alexa's victory over the first North American Champion Toni Storm with a bikini clad photo montage? THAT DESERVES ANOTHER SHOT! Misleading Alexa with the promise of a North American Championship Match if she competes twice that night, the first of which being for her best friend's Women's Title in The Elimination Chamber, a match she had to start...ONLY TO INTENTIONALLY DISQUALIFY HERSELF? THAT DESERVES THREE MORE STRIKES! Mandy cries out as each hit connects, the leg, the arm, the chest, the spine, her face it doesn't matter she is aiming for it all! Trying to sabotage her friendship with Kairi Sane at every possible chance by diving wedge after wedge between them? HAVE FOUR MORE cracks from The Bliss Stick!
Having interviewers and various personnel instructed to bury her by bending the truth and flat out ignoring it? Have more! Every single moment, specifically the most disgusting of all deserves more and more and the audience is REVELING in this moment about as much as Alexa herself is. Mandy on the other hand has welts forming as the hits keep coming from Bliss Stick Blitzes! Organizing the most obnoxious defense for Alexa as North American Champion, by forcing her to defend in a 3 stages of hell match, which all 3 stages are officiated by The OWNER OF XWL, AND ACTING GENERAL MANAGER, AKA THE MAN MANDY HAS BEEN SCREWING THIS ENTIRE TIME TO HAVE HIM BEND EVERY RULE IN EXISTENCE ALL IN THE NAME OF GIVING HER BACK THE TITLE? LET ME JUST SNAP THIS BLISS STICK OVER YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL YOU FEEL A FRACTION OF WHAT I FELT IN THIS MOMENT! That is what is going through Alexa's mind. The ridiculousness that was having stage one be a one armed tied behind your back match, where Mandy's arm was FAR from tied and she rolled Alexa up within seconds, pulling the tights, as Vince FAST COUNTED? The audacity of them trying to perform a Montreal esque screwjob? FIRING HER BEST FRIEND KAIRI SANE WHEN SHE CAME TO HER RESCUE? Mr. McMahon tipping the ladder as Alexa was a second away from retrieving her title and retaining despite the massive mountains stacked in front of her? MR. MCMAHON HANDING MANDY HANDCUFFS SO THAT BLISS LITERALLY HAD TO SIT THERE AND WATCH ROSE RETRIEVE THE TITLE SHE HAD FOUGHT FOUR YEARS TO FINALLY HAVE? Oh no, for someone else maybe this would be cruelty. For Corey it is, he's winging, he's covering his eyes while peeping through his fingers. But for this audience, for anyone that hasn't viewed this story through literally Rose tinted glasses? This is justice, this is a Woman who was scorned and now she is showing the old adage "hell hath nothing like a woman scorned" is the undeniable truth.
[Corey Graves] OH COME ON, HOW MANY TIMES IS SHE GONNA HIT HER?!?
[Renee Young] Personally? Nowhere near enough. Mandy Rose and Mr. McMahon put her through hell, her professional life as an XWL Superstar vying for The North American Championship has been one abuse of power after the next against her and honestly? This couldn't happen to a nicer person.
[Mauro Ranallo] It's brutal, and the marks on Mandy's body are an everlasting reminder of that brutality beyond tonight...but that is what Hell in a Cell is, BRUTALITY.
Alexa Bliss fires a couple more shots for good measure, then after an especially pepper packed pitch to Rose's knee that she hurt earlier...her onslaught comes to an end. Bliss stands here, stick lowered, breathing heavily as her successive hits took her breath away but she was fueled by the anger that has existed within her since this rivalry began. Anger that has only festered and grown the more things that have transpired. Mandy's literally in the fetal position, still bound to the cell, almost so traumatized by the whole ordeal that she maybe doesn't even realize she's stopped being hit. She's gone to her happy place, a private island, laying out on the beach as she uses The North American Championship as a reflector and achieves the most stunning of tans. While she's perhaps permanently checked out of this match, Alexa sets her sights on what comes next. Has she had her fill of inflicting pain to Rose? Judging by the glare in her eyes, we'd say not yet. No she lifts the ring skirt up then starts to search for more goodies, which there's plenty to choose from. She grabs a chair, tossing it through the ropes, then spots another and throws that in too. But hey why settle on two chairs when you can have three, and hey there's a fourth one just chilling beside it let's make it four! As she tosses the steel chairs in she could stop there, but she doesn't. She ventures back under the ring and moves things around until something peaks her interest. Soon she slides a table out, and while there's one Mandy set up and leaned against the cell not far from them...she's not exactly a fan of Mandy's sloppy seconds so she's going to introduce a table of her own. Pulling it out she starts to unhinge, all while Mandy has recovered from the shock of being hit more times than we can honestly say we remember...and this is where it gets a little interesting.
Mandy is in pain, she is feeling the sting of every strike from The Bliss Stick...but, she is survival mode. She cannot just stay shackled to this cell, she's literally just allowing her reign to slowly fade away with every bit of fury she feels from Alexa. No, she has to get free, but in a situation like this...what can she even do? She tries to pull on the cell, but lightly, not wanting to make too much noise because hey if Alexa hears her while she's in the process of setting up a table beside them....she could pick The Bliss Stick back up and go for round 2, which by this point is more like round 200. She tries to slip her hand through the cuff but while she's physically fit and trim...her hand is just too big for that to work. So now she's transported to that moment in a horror film where the trapped prey looks at their surroundings to hatch a plan of escape. The killer is right there in the next room, and she's been left with an opportunity to find a way out of this situation. That's when her eyes perk up, and she sees something that very well could aid her. It's the thing she turned her nose up at earlier when she pulled the ladder out. The common man's tools, literally a toolbox. It was thrown aside, some of the contents spilling out, but what didn't spill out is what Mandy's foot starts to extend out toward. Because there's something pretty helpful for a Woman that is handcuffed to the cell, and what might that be? Well, a key would be great, but we don't exactly keep keys to handcuffs just chilling under the ring, I mean we don't keep handcuffs either but those were likely planted by Alexa beforehand to enact a bit of retribution. However we do keep this item that has Rose suddenly take a second wind and find the strength to ignore the hurt that was inflicted on her. BOLT CUTTERS! When designing this cell, when piecing it together, this item creates Hell in a Cell, it cuts steel, and what are these handcuffs that are attached to Rose made of? STEEL!
Unbeknownst to Bliss, Mandy manages to slide the toolbox toward her, using her golden boot to set her up for freedom by pushing the bolt cutters toward her until they finally get into her free hand and now is the part of the scary movie where the killer returns, hearing something amiss and checking to make sure nothing has gone array. Bliss has one leg hinged on the table, she stops before hinging the other looking at Mandy who has feigned as if she's still reeling from the hits, hiding the cutters under her leg. Satisfied that all is well Bliss refocuses on the table and Mandy acts fast. SNAPPING the chain on the cuffs, leaving one cuff still attached to the cell, while hers now dangles from her wrist still attached but no longer binding her to the hell she just suffered.
[Mauro Ranallo] Would you look at that, Mandy Rose has freed herself!
[Renee Young] She finally stopped being a damsel in distress and used that stress to be her own hero, good for her.
[Corey Graves] Oh Alexa Bliss is gonna get it now...she should have finished her while she had the chance because when I look at Mandy Rose right now? I see a Woman that no longer can do her planned magazine cover shoot tomorrow due to the DOZENS of welts on her body and for that crime Alexa Bliss will suffer greatly.
Mandy peers over, ensuring that Bliss's back is still turned. Alexa is in the finishing stages of setting up the table, and as we switch to the camera in front of Bliss, we see a rising Golden Goddess behind her. Rose takes her dangling handcuff and secures it in her right fist as some sort of a makeshift brass knuckle. The ever vain Champion takes a glance down at her body, her assets, her physical features. All major moneymakers and things that she prides herself on (perhaps a little more than she should sometimes). After taking one last hard look at the marks and bruises scattered across her tanned and toned physique, Mandy grits her teeth and narrows her eyes as Bliss finishes setting up the table. Rose secures her feet into a proper position and winds up her cuff-wielding fist, and as Bliss turns around to retrieve her damsel in distress, she's instantaneously met with a VICIOUS AND SICKENING RIGHT! The metal of the cuff, with all of the strength of one of the most fit women in the industry behind it, smashes through Bliss's jaw! It wouldn't be surprising if Five Feet of Fury lost a few molars after that connection, which causes the crowd to gasp before falling silent in shock.
[Mauro Ranallo] MAMA MIA! DID YOU SEE THAT RIGHT? Better yet, did you HEAR THAT RIGHT?!
[Corey Graves] Genius strategy employed by the Champion! Using the handcuffs to her own advantage as a weapon of her own, she never ceases to amaze me!
[Renee Young] This could seriously be it! If Mandy can get Alexa into the ring and cover, she might retain her Championship, cause Bliss is out COLD right now!
Mandy shakes her wrist out, taking a few heavy, vengeful breaths as she looks down at the crumbled and near unconscious frame of Alexa Bliss. Rose squats down and dead lifts Bliss to place her on the top of the table. Making sure everything was perfectly in place, Mandy rolls inside of the ring and makes eye contact with the corner closest to the table. Rose is a powerhouse for her size, given her extreme fitness background, but we have never known her to be any sort of a high flyer. Tonight is a night of exception though, as it appears God's Greatest Creation might be looking to get just a little bit closer to her Creator in order to secure her highly coveted North American Championship. The crowd, who would normally be booing unceremoniously at the momentum building in Mandy's favor, are unsure of how to react due to the sheer intensity of this match. Regardless of your favorite, it's impossible not to applaud the sheer audacity and physicality between these two competitors. Rose climbs slowly and carefully up to the top turnbuckle, looking down at Bliss one last time as she gradually stands up and fully extends her legs to a proper standing position. You can tell that this spot is anywhere but home to Mandy, as she glances up at the crowd and does her signature pose. A little less sure of herself this time though, which can be clearly observed in her eyes. However, her hatred for Alexa Bliss is outweighing her fear of jumping just enough to push her to do it. And so, Mandy Rose takes flight, leaping off of the top turnbuckle with a muscular elbow out as the Golden Goddess falls from grace all the way down to Alexa Bliss, except........
ALEXA BLISS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! The queen of playing possum waited until Rose's boots leaped off of the turnbuckle before she got out of dodge just in time to see Mandy crash through the table. The crowd then remembers who they're rooting for, and begin jumping off their feet in support of Little Miss Bliss. Bliss is in no means recovered, however, still rocked and shaken by that veiled right from Rose. Alexa lays on the ground, trying to shake her head back into a clear-er state of mind, while Mandy remains completely lifeless and surrounded by scraps and shards of what once was a table.
[Corey Graves] IS MANDY OKAY?... Can someone check on her?! This is all that treacherous snake, Alexa Bliss's fault!
[Renee Young] For rolling out of the way to avoid being put through a table? Are you ACTUALLY out of your mind?
[Corey Graves] She ruined a monumental and sacred moment! Mandy was taking flight!
[Renee Young] Yeah well, maybe she was just blinded by all of the "magnificence" and rolled out of the way to spare her own unworthy eyes.
[Corey Graves] You know something, Renee...... You might be onto something.
[Renee Young] Oh, brother...
After at least two minutes of constant crowd chattering and both women slowly stirring to remind us that they are in fact still in this, it is Alexa who manages to struggle to her feet first. She grabs onto the apron, using it as a form of support to help her make the short journey over to the shattered table. Unbeknownst to us, as well as Bliss, however, Mandy has gathered enough consciousness over the last few minutes to reach over and grab her trusty bolt cutters once again. As soon as Bliss is with in reach, and bends down to grab hold of Rose, Mandy swings the bolt cutters up right into the side of Alexa's face! A gruesome and metallic *clink* echoes around ringside and churns everyone's stomachs in earshot. Bliss stumbles back and holds the side of her face with her hand, noticing some instant blood flow beginning to pour out from her now busted lip. While she remains understandably distracted for the moment, Mandy crawls over and begins using those bolt cutters once again to cut away at a small hole in the cell wall! She clips away in the formation of a near perfect half-circle that is ideal for crawling out of. The crowd are leaning over the barricade, shouting and pointing at Rose's efforts to escape. She finally clips the last piece of metal separating her from freedom and punches it through before army crawling out of the cell. Once fully outside of the cell, Rose struggles and stumbles over to the time keeper's area, finally pulling herself up and onto her feet. She drops the bolt cutters and rips her North American Championship off of the stand. Mandy clings to her title, holding it close to her chest as she begins to protest the match and demand its cancellation. Hearing the commotion, Alexa gathers her whits at last and takes notice of Mandy somehow OUTSIDE of the cell and with the title in her clutches. This sight alone ignites a whole new fire inside of Bliss, who grabs the cell wall and makes eye contact with the Champion. Rose glances over at her opponent, who has her fingers wrapped through the links of the wall, blood dripping from her mouth, and a glare that could ignite a wildfire. Mandy's typical nature begins to shine through once again, as she slowly grins and holds her title up high in front of Alexa's face in order to rub it in. She didn't account for Alexa to find this second wind, at least not to this extent anyway. Her fury helps her almost immediately identify the hole that Mandy created to escape through. Rose takes note of this, as Bliss makes eye contact with her one last time before shaking her head to let the Champion know that it isn't going to be that easy for her this time. Alexa suddenly darts for the hole and drops down to crawl through while Mandy's confidence vanishes and she is instantly put back into flight mode. With no other immediate option, Rose jabs the toe of her golden boot through the cell, keeping her title close on her shoulder, and reaches up with her spare hand to begin ascending up the wall!
[Mauro Ranallo] This is the first time I've ever seen someone escape Hell in a Cell like that! Now she's ascending up the cell, her title in tow...
[Renee Young] I'm not sure how this is, she's ascending up a 20 ft structure, and the only way down is...well, far from pleasant as Mick Foley will tell anyone.
[Corey Graves] Let's face it, this match is over. Mandy is climbing to the top to symbolize that she's done and knowing how small her opponent is? She knows she won't dare try to climb something that is literally four times her size.
[Renee Young] You sure do love to underestimate Alexa Bliss' determination.
[Mauro Ranallo] Speaking of, Alexa has now left the cell as well and it looks like Mandy's ascent UP to the heavens of hell hasn't deterred her.
Mandy cautiously climbs up the wall, not getting much progress due to how slow she has to go because one wrong move, one missed foot placement, and things could go very badly. Because of this Alexa quickly reaches the wall Mandy is venturing up and without hesitation begins to wrap her fingers around the wall and step up onto it herself, climbing after her. Alexa tries to swipe the boot of Mandy, to trip her up, to pull her down while climbing higher herself. The arena stares on concerned for the safety of both Women considering this isn't exactly safe by any means. They are in the middle of a heated battle, and you don't exactly try to take shots at someone while climbing up 20 feet...but such is life in XWL where bitter rivalries boil over to a point like right now where their own safety is thrown out the window if it means bringing harm to the other. Alexa's quicker pace allows her to catch up to The North American Champion and this is where things get more and more intense. Alexa grabs Mandy by her hair, and bashes her face off the cell, Mandy swags backward, but avoids falling to her doom thanks to her iron-clad grip of the cell. But an attempt at maiming her greatest features leads Mandy to return the favor, yanking Bliss by her hair and smacking it off the steel mesh.
[Mauro Ranallo] It's hard to watch in a moment like this because you feel powerless, you feel as if you could be seconds away from witnessing someone's career come to an untimely end...but that is ultimately what this match is. It is chaotic, it is brutality, it is anything goes, and if you can make your way out of the cell-like these two have? Well, they are within their rights to extend that chaos beyond the cell.
[Renee Young] At this stage in this Main-Event emotions are at the highest, pain is at its threshold, and the end is in sight. So it's no surprise to me that they are fighting while clinging to the cell wall right in front of us knowing that any second could be what decides it all.
[Corey Graves] WHY IS ALEXA SO HELL BENT ON HURTING MANDY?
[Renee Young] Judging by what Mandy's done to Alexa likewise in this match? I'd say the feeling is mutual, Corey.
[Corey Graves] No, that's self defense.
[Mauro Ranallo] This entire match is about self-preservation because your opponent's demise means your survival, that is Hell in a Cell by definition.
Alexa teeters on the wall, her lip that had previously been busted open starts to flow a new flow of blood as it's reopened from the steel chain basically slicing through it. She instinctively grabs her lip, but this proves to be Mandy's perhaps plan all along because this momentary stunning of Bliss has left her wide open. Mandy once again utilizes the handcuff still attached to her as her own set of brass knuckles and WALLOPS Alexa right in her busted lip! Alexa's hand comes off of the wall, panicking instantly as she falls backward, gracefully falling to her doom in perhaps the worst possible way. If she just flew off of the wall the worst of it would come within the blink of an eye. However, with her hand losing the grip of the cell, her panic set in trying to force her way back against the cell, and this causes her to literally just slide in a truly hard to watch descent down the wall by grinding off of the cell the entire way down until she collapses into a heap on the floor.
[Renee Young] Oh god...that hurt just watching it!
[Mauro Ranallo] That cell is unforgiving, and Alexa Bliss just felt that to a new level...
[Corey Graves] Even I had a hard time looking at that...
Mandy looks down, seeing Bliss lying on the floor and breathes a sigh of relief knowing that she's finally home free. She can climb down, she can stroll around the cell, and take her title and go. At least, that is what she thinks as her foot begins to lower down to the hole it previously climbed up with. But as she descends, she feels the wall rattle, as Bliss' hand which now has a couple of small stains of blood on grips the cell, and Mandy's eyes widen as the arena is reborn and rises up from their state of concern to a rallying roar! Alexa sits on the ground, her eyes glaring up as her busted lip is now even more of a battle wound than it already was. As the camera zooms in on Alexa her body has scratches from her hellacious slide down the cell, and in this one paused moment we reflect on how hard these two Women have fought tonight. They both are going to leave with bumps, bruises, and a few unsightly scars that will be carried with them for quite some time. But that is all in the name of LEAVING TONIGHT THE NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION!
[Corey Graves] HOW IS ALEXA ALREADY RECOVERED?
[Renee Young] That is pure adrenaline, supplemented by the fury within that refuses to allow Mandy Rose a moment of solace as long as she has anything to do about it.
[Mauro Ranallo] They know the hourglass is almost empty and for Alexa Bliss that means her time to not only regain her title but RECLAIM Kairi Sane's job? Is running out.
Mandy realizes that climbing down is just NOT a good idea anymore, and she starts climbing back up, not sure of what the hell she's going to do when she gets there but she knows she can't stay on this wall, not after the gruesome fall Alexa Bliss took. She's already covered in welts from The Bliss Stick, she can't have cuts like her foe too. Alexa pulls herself up using the cell then like a glutton for punishment shakes her head and starts climbing BACK UP THE CELL SHE JUST SLID DOWN! Mandy's got more of pep and panic in her step, not wasting a moment and it pays off as her fingers cling to the roof of the cell and she starts to drag herself, and her title officially on top of Hell in a Cell. Five Feet Of Fury has about five more feet to climb and during this time Mandy crawls across the roof, freaking out about everything, knowing that in just a minute she is going to have to fight for the survival of herself, and her reign as North American Champion.
She falls to her knees, clutching her title, shaking her head, breathing heavily, shuddering as she sees Bliss get closer and closer until Alexa Bliss joins her at the top of the cell, and rises to her feet immediately. The challenger wipes her thumb across her lip, wiping the blood away as she just stares at Mandy. THIS is what it has come to, this is where it all ends. For one of them? This is the end of this match. What happens here, 20 feet in the air at the top of this cell? There is no coming back from. The question is, who suffers the fate that is knocking at the door.
[Mauro Ranallo] One final staredown before it all comes to a final head!
[Renee Young] These two Women have given it their all, but we all know whatever happens in the next 30 seconds? THAT changes everything and effectively decides who is leaving as North American Champion. We haven't seen the classic type of a match where the competitors go for frequent pins after big moves, this match has been the pinnacle of two women who know each other, and know what it takes for them to beat one another. There hasn't been a wasted step or moment, they have doubled down on any damage dealt in the name of ensuring that WHEN they go for that pin? It is a three count and nothing less.
[Corey Graves] For Mandy of course...
[Mauro Ranallo] For either of them, to Renee's point, this pacing has been drastically different from a title match we're all used to seeing. It hasn't been about what scores you a quick victory, in the first 30 seconds yes it started that way but once that passed? They knew what each other's limit was and so it's just been endless assault after the next.
Alexa's foot steps forward, pushing down on the unstable mesh roof, it's not exactly solid so the power in her step seems to do more harm than the good of showing her intensity. But it doesn't stop her from taking another strong step forward. Mandy however simply bites her bottom lip, her eyes squinting as she lets out a banshee-like scream. "I'M SO SICK OF YOU!!" Mandy charges forward, meeting Bliss before she can react, shoving her boot into Alexa's midsection with enough impact to double her over. Then Mandy leans forward, looking down at the announce table below them and her hand grips Bliss by her neck as the audience goes quiet. IS SHE THINKING OF DOING WHAT WE THINK SHE IS? Parents prepare to shield their children's eyes, especially the little girls donning Bliss' merchandise as they see the writing on the wall, and it's spelling out a devastating doom for Little Miss Bliss. Mandy leans in close to Alexa and shouts "GO TO HELL, BITCH!" and THRUSTS ALEXA FORWARD...
BUT ALEXA STANDS HER GROUND, DELIVERS AN ELBOW TO MANDY'S RIBS THEN FLAILS HER FORWARD SENDING MANDY FORWARD OFF OF THE CELL!
[Corey Graves] NO! NO! NO!!!!! PLEASE GOD NO!!
But Mandy's nails dig down as she starts to fall from literal grace, and she clings to the top of the cell, her legs dangling down as her head leans against the roof in a terrifying display. She is literally on the cusp of falling 20 feet from the cell, and despite just trying to do this to Alexa...she starts to plead with her. "PLEASE, HELP ME!" She cries out, and Alexa stands there, almost as if she's considering it. As if after everything Mandy has put her through, the 6 months of hell, she never wanted it to have to come to a point like THIS. Surely there's a limit to all of this, right? Like, she has to be the bigger person, she can't just let Mandy fall...can she? "I'M SORRY! PLEASE! DON'T LET ME FALL! "The sincerity, we're not entirely sure is there...I mean if anyone was in Mandy's position they'd be saying whatever they could, promising their unborn children, money they don't have, their entire life's wages all to be saved...plus she did literally just try to throw Alexa off the cell so like, the fans? They're not buying it. They're not chanting for Alexa to help her, to save Mandy...to "be the bigger person" they are beginning to shout "SEND HER TO HELL! SEND HER TO HELL! SEND HER TO HELL!" Alexa looks around, then looks down, and begins to kneel...extending her hand forward to offer it to Mandy. The Golden Goddess sighs in relief, a devious relief that is subtle...but totally there, the type of relief that says oh you stupid bitch when you grab my hand I'm going to throw you over" Alexa inches forward, moments away from seemingly saving the woman she shares such intense bad blood with...then leans in to her and says "No, YOU GO TO HELL, BITCH!"
She pries Mandy's hand away from the cell, then shoves her hand forward piefacing Mandy sending her flying off of the cell!
Mandy plummets THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AS THE ARENA RESOUNDING CHANTS "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" Corey falls to his knees, shaking as his holiness has been smitten down from the heavens and massacres what was once their table.
[Renee Young] OH MY GOD SHE JUST FELL AT OUR FEET!
Alexa sits on her knees, staring at what she just did, without a single ounce of remorse...Mandy pushed her to this, Mr. Mcmahon pushed her to this, the last 6 months of hell sentenced Mandy Rose to her Judgment day and Alexa Bliss was her executioner. She sees The North American Championship that Rose had dropped before sprinting to try and throw Alexa from the top of the cell and grabs it. She throws it over her shoulder then starts to climb down the cell, knowing she has all the time in the world, as the "holy shit" chants continue to echo without a sign of stopping anytime soon.
[Corey Graves] SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE, THERE'S BEEN AN ATTEMPTED MURDER! I'D LIKE TO PRESS CHARGES! CAN I PRESS THEM TWICE? NO MAKE THAT THREE TIMES! MANDY!! MANDY!!!! MANDY NO!!! SAY SOMETHING!
[Renee Young] Corey, we're all frazzled after that but pull yourself together man.
[Mauro Ranallo] I don't think anyone can question the level of fury that exists within Alexa Bliss' five-foot stature after THAT!
[Renee Young] If it wasn't Mandy, it would have been her, I don't know if you caught it but I totally saw a devilish gleam in Mandy's eyes as Alexa reached out to her.
[Corey Graves] CAN WE PLEASE NOT SLANDER THOSE WHO CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES?
[Mauro Ranallo] I definitely saw that too, Renee.
[Corey Graves] CAN YOU STOP! ONE OF YOU CALL 911! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, GOD'S GREATEST CREATION HAS BEEN SENT STRAIGHT DOWN HELL IN A CELL! THINK OF THE REPERCUSSIONS! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
[Renee Young] I mean, we all see her, Corey. She's like, right here but this match can't be stopped. Hell in a Cell ends only one way, and we still have to see someone get pinned or submitted.
[Corey Graves] ARE YOU MAD? IN WHAT WORLD IS MANDY GOING TO PIN ANYONE BESIDES THIS ANNOUNCE TABLE THAT SHE CRASHED THROUGH SO QUICKLY THAT MY DIET MOUNTAIN DEW FLEW INTO THAT GUY'S LAP BEHIND US!
Bliss' feet drop from the wall to the floor as she stumbles handing The North American Championship to one of the ringside attendants, then shifts her focus to Mandy who hasn't moved a single inch since her untimely demise. Alexa grabs her by her blonde locks, then starts to drag her away from a crying Corey Graves and literally looks to be dragging her BACK to hell to finish this match once and for all. The energy in the arena is just everything you could want going into this match. Fans haven't left their feet, their screams are loud and proud, and it feels as if we've all been given a crystal ball and the outcome of this match has been foretold to us so that we may begin celebrating already. I mean, after what just happened? It's fair to assume Mandy Rose is no longer North American Champion. It's fair to assume that Alexa Bliss is once again Champion, that her best friend has regained her job. But there's always that small chance of something going array, like man it'd really suck if Mr. McMahom came out here right about now, with Awesome Kong or some other monstrous woman in tow as some last-ditch effort to preserve the corporate champion's stranglehold over The North American Championship....like, it'd really suck, like, just imagine hearing "NO CHANCE....THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT..." right now, like imagine as you scroll down because we're dramatic here, that you see Mr. McMahon's entrance video appear in a youtube video below and it's like REALLY? THIS FUCKER AGAIN? I THOUGHT Y'ALL PROMISED NO BS THIS TIME, THAT THIS WAS IT, THAT THERE WOULD BE NO INTERFERENCE.
Well, go ahead, scroll down.
NAH THIS BITCH'S REIGN IS OVER! Mr. McMahon is too busy scouting his next prospect for an affair in a couple of years, you know once Linda goes back to trusting him again like she always does. He wouldn't dare show his face right now, Mandy is all on her own with this one and unfortunately for her? She's not doing so well. Alexa drags Mandy's corpse-like body to the hole that Rose created via the bolt cutters, then she gets down and crawls through the hole, but knowing Mandy needs a little assistance she turns around and gives a few good pulls on her hair and Mandy's now been dragging BACK into Hell as well. She hasn't moved or tried to stop anything that's happening because like, this bitch fell like 20 feet through the announce table. She's gonna need at least 5 minutes before any miracle from god could will her back into this match. Alexa grabs Mandy by her shorts then chucks her onto the apron, rolling her under the bottom rope. She looks at the mess the two made within this cell, the table broken, the ladder snapped, The Bliss Stick that's gonna need a few trips at the repair shop after the beating Bliss gave Mandy with it. The freaking bolt cutters that busted Alexa's lip open, it was quite the experience, but the time has come for it to end. But how does this rivalry end? How does Mandy's reign END? Does Bliss just slide in and cover her? No, that's far too basic for this far from average rivalry we've seen from the jump. They haven't ever done the simple route, they have always done something unique, something over the top and that's why despite Mandy literally being thrust from the top of the cell through the announce table...Alexa walks around the cell to the other side that they didn't really fight in and starts to lift up the ring skirt.
WHAT ON EARTH COULD SHE BE LOOKING FOR AT THIS POINT? SHE'S ALREADY DEAD, I mean maybe she'll kick out since it's been like 2 going on 3 minutes now...but like, that's a real stretch. Alexa doesn't spend much time looking, it's as if she personally planted this item there for this exact moment. Soon we see her starting to pull something of considerable size out, and it's like, you already got a table leaned up against the cell, why not just use that instead of grabbing another? But then we see it's not a table, it's not a ladder, it's...a full body mirror. Like, you know the mirrors that usually hang in those nice boutiques or in some stores that are like, THIS IS A DAMN NICE MIRROR? That is what this is, it's got weight to it, and apparently, it's got a use for Alexa Bliss.
She pushes it up onto the apron, the reflection of her face focused in on the camera as you see her far from pretty lip. But seeing herself doesn't upset her, it makes her...smile...because this busted lip is proof of how much this match meant to her. The fight she continued to give after suffering it, and it's now a badge of honor. She steps up onto the apron and enters the ring, dragging the mirror into the center of the squared circle and then looks at Rose who is making minor movements at this stage and grabs her by her hand dragging her to the middle of the ring. She pulls her all the way on top of the mirror, then pulls one of the four chairs she previously threw into the ring earlier in the match, a ring that they literally never came back into due to their bloodlust against one another...and sits it down onto the mat and takes a seat.
[Corey Graves] Are you kidding me? What is she up to now? JUST COVER HER!
[Mauro Ranallo] Alexa Bliss biding her time, setting the stage for the conclusion of this match, and if she's about to do what I think we ALL think she's going to do? Then things are somehow about to get a lot uglier.
[Renee Young] This is the one time Mandy Rose doesn't want to look in a mirror.
Alexa's hand rises up, her fingers moving against her palm as she pulls a Jason and stalks her prey. Mandy's hands start to inch up the mirror, most likely unaware of where she even is, or what is about to happen to her. But finally, she has life, she is BACK IN THIS MATCH AND MAYBE HER REIGN ISN'T OVER AFTER ALL! GEE, WOULDN'T THAT BE A COMEBACK STORY? SHE SURVIVES FALLING FROM HELL, AND MANAGES TO WIN? Maybe in Corey's deluded fantasies...but no, as she starts to press her palms onto the mirror, she begins to push up, and her face peels away from the mirror and that's when Bliss' hand balls into a fist and she stands back up. Mandy's eyes open, looking at the mirror, and the way the camera is angled is actually really cool because the cameraman has managed to see what Mandy herself is seeing. We see the mirror on the mat, we see Mandy seeing her reflection, her disheveled state, but what we see is even sicker...we see Alexa Bliss charging into frame, leaping up into the air to the point that her boot appears in the reflection. The instant the bottom of her boot appears, we hear an angry Bliss scream "THIS IS FOR KAIRI!" and Mandy's eyes bulge out as she is unable to do anything at this point except brace for the devastation that is Alexa's boot STOMPING down onto the back of Mandy's head, sending it right into the mirror, and it shatters!
[Renee Young] OHHHHH!!!
[Mauro Ranallo] Just like the mirror, it looks like Mandy's reign has been SHATTERED!
Corey sits in silence as Alexa rolls Mandy over onto her back, then mounts on top of her with a cover.
1.....
2......
3!!!!!!!!!!
The fans joyously cheer as Alexa Bliss rises up to her feet, no hesitation and throws both arms into the air as she bows over the fallen Champion that has been VANQUISHED! It all has finally come to an end, and what an end it was...they went to hell, but in the end, only one would survive, and that was the feisty challenger that refused to leave tonight as anything other than The NEW North American Champion!
[Mauro Ranallo] HASHTAG, AND NEW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION!
[Renee Young] I love a happy ending...
[Corey Graves] COULD YOU BE ANY MORE INSENSITIVE?
The cell door is opened as The North American Championship is passed through the ropes to the official who immediately presents it to Bliss. Alexa stares at it for a moment then smiles as she takes it into her hand which is promptly raised into the air to signify her victory!
[Mike Rome] Ladies and Gentlemen, your WINNER...AND NEEEEWW NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION!!! ALEXA....BLISS!!
With that announcement, Alexa is all smiles her hand still raised into the air as adrenaline fuels her ability to even stand right now. No, when she heads to the back she's going to collapse and probably stay there for a few hours but for this moment? For her "Moment Of Bliss?" This is why she refused to accept the hand that was dealt to her by the corrupt regime that refused to give her a fair opportunity at becoming a Champion.
[Mike Rome] As voted by you The XWL Universe, due to Alexa's victory, effective immediately...The Pirate Princess Kairi Sane has been REINSTATED!
That announcement of reassurance brings even more elation to Alexa's face who thanks to the fans was given the opportunity to not only regain her title that was taken from her at Warzone, but also regain her best friend's job which also was taken away at that very show as well. Alexa's arm pulls away from the official as he starts to motion for assistance for Mandy who no doubt is unconscious after being Curb Stomped into a full mirror. The NEW Champion stumbles to the corner climbing up onto the second rope and thrusts her newly won prize into the air with both hands as she shouts "WE DID IT KAIRI! WE WON! I TOLD YOU I WOULDN'T LET YOUR SACRIFICE BE IN VAIN! THIS IS FOR YOU! THIS IS FOR THEM! THIS IS FOR ALL OF US!"
[Renee Young] Kairi's firing at Warzone was truly horrible, but seeing how everything has fallen back into place now is just, it's such a good feeling. Alexa's had such a difficult year and now she can finally breathe for a moment. She's now a TWO time Champion and her best friend is coming back to XWL!
[Mauro Ranallo] A difficult year that began due to the actions of Ruby Riott, the rival Alexa believed she had finally ended things with at Final Stand when she was the Last Woman Standing...which ironically was the night before she entered herself into The North American Championship conversation. But due to Ruby's victory earlier tonight over the tag-team partner she had in that Last TEAM Standing Match, Nia Jax? She's the NEW #1 Contender to the title Alexa just won.
[Renee Young] Fate can be cruel sometimes but this moment isn't about Ruby, there's a time and place. For now, Alexa can relish in her victory and the end of her rivalry with Mandy Rose.
[Corey Graves] Do you two mind? I'm in mourning over here!
Once she's soaked in her moment, Alexa lowers from the corner and looks at Rose who is being assisted by some medics who have entered the cell, then she simply turns her nose up and walks past her paying no further mind to her, or her existence for that matter. They're done, and Mandy will never forget about this night because she knows deep down she is to blame for all of the cuts that have scarred her going into the future. She pushed Bliss around too much, and Bliss pushed back, and that push brought Rose's world crashing down around her, much like she crashed down from the top of the cell. The NEW North American Champion steps through the ropes and approaches the open cell door, making her way through it and starting her trek up the ramp. She's left hell, albeit quite scathed, but all of that is worth it because of what she is leaving with. The title that she had stolen from her, and the knowledge that Kairi Sane is now allowed to come back and once again be apart of The XWL Roster. With a short trip up the ramp, she turns as she reaches the stage, and raises the title up with both hands before lowering it behind her shoulder.
[Mauro Ranallo] An incredible night, incredible matches, and an incredible conclusion which sees A NEW North American Champion crowned in our Main-Event. Congratulations to Alexa Bliss and all of tonight's winners.
[Corey Graves] MANDY LOST, THERE IS NO WINNERS!
[Renee Young] At least you've got two weeks to pull yourself back together.
[Mauro Ranallo] We ended this season with a BANGER, but do not fret as Renee said we will be back in 2 weeks for our Season Premiere and what a premiere it will be! The 2019 Slammy Awards!
[Corey Graves] I THINK THE USE OF SLAM, CONSIDERING MANDY SLAMMED THROUGH THIS TABLE IS INCREDIBLY CRUEL, MAURO!
[Renee Young] I'm not sure who left this match with the worst of it, Mandy...or Corey?
[Mauro Ranallo] Nonetheless, thank you for tuning in, and have a good night!
The closing credits appear on the screen as Alexa stands atop of the stage, as she now stands atop the division as The New North American Champion. For 6 months she and Mandy waged hell, and it all led to this, waging hell one final time inside the most sinister match type in wrestling...and it's safe to say they lived up to its purpose and delivered a match we won't soon forget. But for every rivalry, there is a winner and loser, and despite Mandy's attempts to stay on top, the "friendship" with The Owner of XWL and the fruits that were born from that labor...she does not leave tonight with her title intact, or even her stunning looks and bodily features. She leaves title-less, covered in welts, and much like the mirror, Alexa Bliss-Missed her through? She leaves shattered and broken. Five Feet Of Fury stands proudly with her title, posing to the delight of the fans, and that is our final image of the night, a triumphant Alexa Bliss who now prepares to cross paths with an old foe, once again.

The Opener Bryan verbally and to a point physically abuse voters. I haven't seen so much of a voting scandal since the 2000 Bush v Al Gore presidential race. The corrupt paying off a person to stop him, from stopping Bobby and Daniel was a pretty good touch tbh. I'm glad The Enterprise got to interact with another XWL superstar, it being Keith Lee. Short but funny back and forth between the two. It was a nice humorous opener so great job David, Legal, and Ryan
Joey's Identity Crisis Since I've been back I've been reading and catching up on shows and I would say Oreo probably has created the most entertaining character in XWL with Joey Janela. Which is hardly a surprise cause anyone who's been around here knows that Oreo is one of the elite promo people here. Great stuff, love a delusional heel and that's what this promo is all about. Guy down and out of his luck still trying to maintain the "Cool" factor he's created for himself. It even had a rare happy ending for him! Great stuff Oreo
The Miz vs ??? The Miz has been one of my favorite characters in WWE since probably 2010 so I always get excited when someone picks him up and P1 did not disappoint. One of the hardest thing to do with a character that plays mostly a heel is to transition them to face without completely rewriting their character but I will say you did a great job keeping the arrogance of The Miz. And keeping in character by putting the spotlight on Miz Tv and putting over the other matches on the card. Very excited to see where the match with Hulk Hogan goes btw! Really looking forward to it
Number One Contender Match: Bobby Roode vs Aiden English vs Walter! Classic heel move with Bobby hiding on the outside, letting the two other competitors tear each other apart while he simply taunts. He got his later though when Aiden English slammed him through a ladder! Aiden going for a chairshot and just getting fucking swatted by Walter at 18:22 is just everything. A FUCKING CRAZY DROPKICK FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER FROM BOBBY TO WALTER! Both announce tables were broken too as well as Aiden being put through a flaming table! A Glorious DDT eliminates Walter leaving just Aiden and Bobby left. A huge counter from Aiden finds his knee upside Roode's head and it sets him up for the 'That's a Wrap' but it wasn't to be. After damn near breaking English in half with a powerbomb in the corner through a table a Glorious DDT ends the match, Roode eliminating both men! . . . . . .
. . . . . .
Post Match Promo People leave and drop characters often in this league but there is this magical moment when you can pull a dropped story or a past story and make it relevant again! Bobby Roode wanting revenge for losing his title two years ago is a great one indeed and Bobby taking it so seriously, actively wanting it is great character building. It also is just a mix of luck and star aligning that the man holding the title is Gable's best friend, Sabin. Sabin putting over the fact that he's beat some of the best to walk through the doors of XWL, that he has no reason to fear Bobby. Roode bitterness towards just about everybody and everything is made so clear in this promo and Chris Sabin's confidence just shines through. It was a good way to end a great match. Congrats to everyone involved
Who Wants to Start a Riot? Ruby Riot has been a on again off again character in XWL but this version of Ruby seems more...dangerous. Paired with Sarah Logan the two make a unique squad that's for sure. I liked the intensity of course and hearing of a potential match between Ruby and Alexa is so exciting given their history. I'm interested to see how this match between Nia and Ruby plays out
What a fucking classic! Is a lie. The dreaded finger poke of doom. It has ended many matches. And much like the crowd I was both dumfounded and wanted my money back. Why Moxley? How could you do this Moxley?! I WANTED BLOOD MOXLEY!!!!!!
Can We Delete TCSI Now? Short funny match. Poor Truth and O'Riley. Somebody has to knock this champions off their perch. Hinty hint hint. Someone tag with me so I can try again. Congrats to TCSI
A Darker side of Ruby This was...less of a match and more attempted murder. Zack has always had a knack for writing really twisted characters, storylines, and matches. This was his usual Shtick as Nia's hand may have been broken as well as almost being set aflame. Nia quickly quit giving Ruby Riot the win. Luckily Sarah Logan spared Nia. Definitely a darker look for Ruby though one has to wonder what dark paths Ruby will walk if Sarah Logan isn't there to keep her in place
Holy Shit! Holy Shit! HOLY SHIT! Poor Liv with no one to defend her title against. You can just tell it's ripping her apart. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't to see her former rival turned friend turned rival SASHA FREAKING BANKS TO WALK OUT! But if Liv thought Sasha was out for the title she was so so so wrong. Because after trying to introduce a weapon into the match it was Liv who ended up on the wrong side of a kendo stick. Sasha went to town on Liv with the kendo stick and the champion just barely managed to get away via a microphone to the head of Sasha. If Liv thought her problems were over a match was made for the next PPV Ascension. Sasha vs Liv in a Falls Count Anywhere match. I'm so excited. Great work you two
Miz TV Feat. Bayley Great way to reintroduce a wrestler, being on Miz Tv. It's nice to see Bayley in the spotlight. She was both humble, putting over the talent of the Women's division, but didn't make herself look scared. Maybe she should have been scared though because Nikki Cross made her presence known sneaking up behind Bayley and laying her out! Can't wait to see where this leads
The Miz vs Ho-Oh Wait, Nevermind If you were expecting to see The Miz vs Hogan then you were completely wrong. Mike Kanellis instead made his appearance and took Hogan's place after disrespecting the the legendary lumber jacks that were at ring side. This match was...a mess. In like, all the best ways. Targeting is trash so lumber jacks are accidentally hitting each other. Sometimes doing it on purpose I think. Constantly interrupting moves. Clearly everyone was trying their best but had to fight against the game to fulfill their roles. It was entertaining. Both men played their characters great with Miz constantly taunting and the sneaky Mike trying to take advantage every opportunity he could. Good on you guys
Mandy and Alexa Voorhees Go To HELL What a fucking start with a Bycicle Knee that almost took the match for Mandy. Crafty and creative offense be the two women as they use each other's hair a weakness and attempt to use it to make the other tap. Becky vs Sasha in real life was such a great hell in a cell match to me because of how creative they got and David and Sam were also very creative. The ladder spot was a great touch. The cuffs come back into play and Mandy finds herself cuffed against the cell, defenseless as Alexa tees off with her Bliss-Stick absolutely losing her mind the whole time with thoughts of sweet sweet revenge
What a great idea, using the handcuffs as brass knuckles! Completely laying out Bliss! So many cool things happened in this match and I seriously want to talk about it more but you owe it to yourself to read this match. A creative and perfect ending to a six month feud. Easily my favorite match of the show. David and Sam always put so much effort into what they do so I'm not surprised but I still loved what I read! Such a great match
All in all if I had to rate this show I'd give it a solid C+ a lot of matches were short and it definitely could have used more promos but I've been in enough leagues to know that the end of a new game brings the creative juices to a halt when you're anticipating a new one. Plus Cyberslam is unique in the sense that you don't always know you'll have a match so it makes it one of the shorter PPV's. Still, it was entertaining and a lot of storylines have been created heading towards The Slammy's! Great job everyone involved!
