[J.R]: Hello everyone and we’d like to welcome you to Redemption Supershow, coming to you LIVE from Des Moines, Iowa! We have a jam packed show for you tonight folks, but before we go further into detail I’d like to welcome my broadcast partners, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Joey Styles!

[King]: Thanks J.R, we have a huge show for you tonight and we should see a lot of good matches, I can’t wait!

[Styles]: J.R, King it’s not very often that I get to sit with you and call these great matches, but as a personal bonus, my cherry on top being that I don’t have to sit next to Michael Cole tonight!

[J.R]: Folks, we have some great matches lined up for you tonight, one of which will see “The Viper” Randy Orton take on “Captain Charisma” Christian, we all know these two men have had some epic encounters in the past and I’m sure this one will be a doozy.

[King]: Then my personal favourite, the DIVA’S! AJ Lee will get her rematch for the Diva’s Championship against Layla, I just can’t wait to see that, Puppies J.R, Puppies!!

[Styles]: While King is busy drooling all over J.R, allow me to let you know that we shall also see the continuation of the XWL 15 Tournement, where we will see the Semi-final confrontation between “The Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling” Kevin Steen, take on “The Cerebral Assassin” himself, “The Game” Triple H.

[J.R]: Then we take you over to a flashback to the past so to speak, as we will see The Rock Vs “Stone Cold” Steve Austin! This storied rivalry has continued throughout the years and tonight we all get to witness another classic match.

[King]: We also get to see the X-Treme Series continue as we will see Sin Cara take on “The Sinister Scot” Drew McIntyre and then we well get to see a triple threat match between Mr Parks, Ezekiel Jackson and Alex Shelley.

[Styles]: Then we come to the main event, which is a HUGE tag team main event. We will see the pairing of the United States #1 contenders Daniel Bryan and Michael McGillicutty, take on the World Heavyweight Champion Justin Gabriel and his partner Ted Dibiase, who just so happens to be the #1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. This show is no doubt going to be action packed so le…..








[King]: What’s this?

*The sound of this theme gains a mixed reaction from the attending audience, some are unsure as to who the music is for but there are selections of the crowd who remember and know who is about to appear on stage, those members begin cheering and applauding as they witness Austin Aries walk out onto the stage.*



[J.R]: King, that’s Austin Aries. The former United States Champion is back in XWL, but why? He disappeared a few months back with no explanation what so ever.

*The fans that recognise Austin Aries seem to be happy that A Double is back in XWL once again. As Aries makes his way into the ring those portions or the crowd begin chanting “Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back!” With a microphone in hand, Aries signals for the crowd to be quiet as he is going to grace them with his voice.*



[Aries]: Those of you watching around the World at home do not adjust your TV sets and those of you who have the privilege to witness this moment live I ask of you to not pinch yourself, because I promise you all that you are not dreaming. Right now is the moment that you have all been begging for, all of your hopes and your dreams have been answered because at this very moment, live and in living colour Austin Aries is once again standing in the middle of an XWL ring. During my absence I received all of the letters; all of the tweets, all of the emails, every day since I walked out of those doors my letterbox has been bombarded with messages asking the same question, “When are you coming back to XWL?” Being the busy man that I am I have a very hectic schedule, meaning I don’t have the time nor the means to answer every one of those letters, so I thought I would come on out here on Global Television and state that that day, is today!



[Aries]: But before you all go and get ahead of yourselves, I want to make the reason as to why I came back perfectly clear. I know how these rumours start, you be vague about one tiny little detail and the whole community blows up with countless ridiculous possibilities. I’m a smart man; I want to avoid that situation completely. With that being said, the reason Austin Aries has returned to XWL is to further propel my already high profile career… What? Wait, you all thought that I came back to XWL for all you people? Wow and people say I have a big ego. Nothing has changed since I have left; I still am and always will be all about A-Double Austin Aries. The only reason I came back to XWL is so I can show the entire World my abilities, but get a nice hefty pay check out of it too. I’m done with the Independent circuit, putting on high class performances for loose change.



[Aries]: Now Austin Aries can finally be in the spotlight, I finally get MY time to shine. But I’m not going to wait for my moment; I’m not going to wait for one of the overrated stars of today to hand me the torch, oh no no. Instead I’m going to take everything that should be rightfully mine, no more waiting in the back for my opportunity, no more putting over people that don’t deserve it, I’m done waiting, because I am on an entirely different level than your supposed Main eventers. Let me put it in terms that you will all understand. Firstly you get your Bad levels, for the overrated talents of the World, people who hide their lack of skills behind their cliché catchphrases and one liners. Then you have Ok level, where you will reside if you posses the most basic of in ring and microphone skills, but are never really going to achieve anything impressive in this business. Then of course you will find the Good level, where you will have a good ring skills, good mic skills but at the end of the day that’s all you will ever be, “Good”. Not the fantastic, not amazing but quite simply “Good”. You go through all of the tiers, the Great where you find the likes of Bret Hart, Mr. Perfect, Ric Flair, you can keep going through them all to the tippy top, the peak of ability and that’s where you will find the Greatest Level and that is where yours truly Austin Aries resides.



[Aries]: You will not hear any cliché catchphrases come from my sweet vocal chords, you will never hear me refer to a show as “Tedemption” to try and be cool, if you can’t succeed at anything I would understand why a person would resort to such tricks. But you will never see any such deeds come from me, because when you’re a man like me you don’t have to hype yourself up, you don’t have to use corny lines to gain a one up on your rival, when you’re a man like me you don’t have to do any of that, because when you’re quite frankly the Greatest Man That Ever Lived all you have to do is let your abilities, your talent, your undeniable charisma and your rugged good looks do all of the talking for themselves. XWL may only be used to the good and the mediocre, well I have just officially turned this company onto its head, because the word good or mediocre can never be applied when The Greatest Man That Ever Lived is involved. A Double Austin Aries is back on tour and my first stop is the Intercontinental Championship. So to whoever believes they make a good Champion, be on the lookout, because whoever decides to hold onto the Intercontinental Championship will be in my sights.



[Aries]: That however, is a little further down the road. As of right now, I’m looking to get my career back on track and I’m going to do that the best way I know how and that is by being the best damn performer on any company. Take this as me issuing an open challenge to anyone in the back, male, female, worker, cook, janitor I don’t care. This challenge it open to whoever thinks they have the cajones, the skills and the talent to take on Austin Aries one on one in the middle of the ring. There might be some in the back right now thinking “I’m that person, I’m that guy”, then please bring yourself to Bad Blood and meet me in this very ring. Word of the wise though, after the match you might need something at hand to be able to hide your shame, because at Bad Blood I fully intend to show the whole World why A Double Austin Aries is without a doubt, the Greatest man That Ever Lived.

Wade Barrett's theme hits and his entrance video appears on the titantron. The fans get to their feet and boo loudly, spreading their disapproval and jeering as Wade makes his way out onto the stage.



Wade walks out onto the stage and as he nears the ramp, crouches down so that he's almost touching the ground. Looking around and taking in the boos and jeers, Wade smirks and pauses as he is.



Springing back to his feet, Wade throw his arms in the air, taunting the fans and showing off his height and power.



Barrett keeps his arms in the air as he walks towards the ramp with his happily cocky walk, shouting at the fans and still smirking. The fans sitting next to the ramp can be heard shouting at Wade as he lowers his arms but keeps walking in his cocky manor.



Continuing down the ramp, Wade quickly takes his shirt off and throws it at on the floor infront of the front row. The show's logo appears at the bottom of the screen with Wade's name and twitter account shown on it, introducing him to the fans watching on tv.

[Lillian Garcia]
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome to the ring.. Wade Barrett!



After walking down the ramp, Wade walks around the ring and starts to climb the steps into the ring.



Now in the ring, Barrett walks around and takes in all the negative reactions from the fans before walking towards the timekeeper and requesting a microphone. Upon recieving it, Wade steps back into the center of the ring and raises the microphone to his mouth.



[Wade Barrett]
As Lillian so ignorantly left out in my introduction.. I'm not only Wade Barrett. I'm the former Intercontinental champion. The former World Heavyweight champion. And the man who dominated XWL and made it his own in just one year. Ladies and gentlemen, from Manchester England, welcome to the ring, the one and only, the greatest there has ever been in XWL.. Wade Barrett!



[Wade Barrett]
Now I'm not gonna beat around the bush, I'll get right to the point. The reason I'm out here right now, is to warn you, it's that simple. I'm here to warn you of what's to come. Because the first time 'round, you all hated me, and I loved it. This time, you'll hate me even more as I reclaim everything that was so selfishly taken from my grasp. 2011, January 15th 2011 to be precise, was the date that Wade Barrett made his debut here in XWL. And from week one, week after week I walked out to this ring and I made my mark. I've had a career more successful, a more important, and a more talented career than anybody else IN this company, and you people need to learn to respect that.



[Wade Barrett]
I've beaten every so-called 'big name' that stepped in my inevitable path to success. I've beaten Ted Dibiase, Tyson Kidd, Randy Savage, CM Punk, and even my former partner and the current World Champion, Justin Gabriel.. If there's ever been a man who's done so little to gain so much, I'm yet to see him. Partner is a strong word, myself and Justin are former aquaintences. Basically what happened is this, since my debut, I'd been tearing through the XWL roster like only a superstar of my caliber could. Gabriel, like every other man backstage, saw that raging intensity that I possess, that no other man could match. I'll give him credit on one merit, he had the smarts to do something that nobody else could do, he alligned himself with me. Together, we took XWL and we shook it up like never before.



[Wade Barrett]
Things soon took a change when Justin got weak, he started to favour the fans over the ever-impressive Wade Barrett that he'd been clinging onto for far too long, just to make it onto tv for once in his pathetic 'career'. Skip forward a while and we've already gone in different directions with our careers. Justin is trying to make himself important once more whereas, me? I became both the XWL Intercontinental Champion and the World Heavyweight champion. At the top of my game, I did it all, I achieved a legendary legacy in just one simple year. That's not only impossible to accomplish, it's a once in a lifetime achievement! And the best part, was that Justin was just ONE of the men who crossed my path, all of which now regret ever even considering getting in my face.



[Wade Barrett]
I could stand out here all night and I could tell you exactly WHY I was so successful, I could tell you WHY I'm going to take back everything that should be mine and I could tell you WHY I am no doubt, the biggest thing to ever happen to this company. But what'd be the point? I know, you all know, why waste your time telling you when you see it every time I lace my boots. When I came to XWL, I said that the winds of change were blowing.. but when the winds passed, Wade Barrett was left irrelevant, and that is a mistake that won't get the opportunity to happen twice.



[Wade Barrett]
I'm going to show you all that the Barrett Barrage isn't an idiotic slogan, it's not a promotion, and it's not a catchphrase. It's a warning, it's the very way that I take names and make them nothing but a faded memory, in the shadow of Wade Barrett's path of greatness. Ladies and gentlemen, I am Wade Barrett, and I'm claiming XWL as mine, once again.

Wade drops his microphone and a thud can be heard as it lands on the floor with impact. Much like he did during his entrance, Wade leans over slightly and pushes himself into an upright position, throwing his arms in the air and pointing to the sky as he looks on at the crowd with a cocky smirk.





Wade Barrett's theme song hits through the speakers once again as the crowd boo loudly. Wade drops to the floor and slides out under the bottom ropes, leaving the crowd with the sour memory of Wade Barrett's return. Walking back up the ramp towards the stage, Barrett still has a cocky smile wiped across his face, and lets out a small smirk before looking back and walking through the curtain, back into the backstage area.

The XWL titantron goes black as the fans in the arena join each other in confusion when a movie styled count down appears on the screen, flashing 5..........4..........3........2.....A man in the audience can be heard saying "Here comes one!" And to his credit finally the number 1 appears on screen before it flashes white and The Rock appears sitting in a chair to a HUGE chorus of boo's from the fans....



[The Rock]
Iowa! The Rock is here! The Rock has come back! To the city of....well he doesn't exactly know what you people are famous for besides inbreeding but he can't say that on TV can he? Oh, it looks like he just did, hell he's The Rock, he could fart on this camera womans face and get her number! He can do whatever the hell he likes! So we're gonna go with the fact that you're all inbred! How's that sound?

A huge wave of boo's gives The Rock his answer...



[The Rock]
Ah! Like music to The Rocks ears! Anyway, let's get onto why you people have been graced by the presence of The Great One right now, he knows a lot of you are asking the same question, "Why Wocky?! Why did you and Vince McMahon not show up last week! We miss you so much, we just wanna hear your angelic voice!" And you know what The Rocks gotta say to that? The Rock knows you missed him! Hell, The Rock misses himself when he goes to sleep! But just as sure as every morning when The Rock wakes up and looks at his handsome face in the mirror and remembers everythings gonna be okay is just as sure as you people no longer need to worry! Not only is The Rock here on the big screen right now, later on tonight him and Mr McMahon will stroll on down to the Peoples Ring and find out exactly who the masked man is that's been attacking him!



[The Rock]
Because you see, you can run from The Rock all you want, but you can't hide, The Rock will find you, he will hunt you down and be all over you like a tramp on a peanut butter sandwich! Because not last week but the two before, you've cost The Rock his match ups! Now The Rock doesn't forgive and he sure as hell doesn't forget! That's why he no showed Breakdown last week, he wanted to see if you'd still be there and behold, you want nothing to do with the show if The Rock isn't there! Now quite frankly he doesn't blame you but here's what we're gonna do, The Rocks gonna make this night very special for you and give you a chance to stroll on down to the ring and either apologize and leave never to be seen again or you can take option B and get The Rocks sunglasses shoved so far up your ass that your colon will get a hot date with your small intestine!



[The Rock]
But then, later in the night, The Rock has a match, he has a match against his biggest rival of all time! What was once a match for the ages! What was once a match that people would travel all over the world to see! What was once a match that left people going, "DAMN! THOSE TWO JUST KICKED EACH OTHERS ASSES, THAT WAS AWESOME!" What was once upon a time the single most grueling and hardest battle of The Rocks career! But let him tell you something, now? Now this match means nothing! Absolutely nothing and you wanna know why? Because it's no longer a fair fight, it's no longer exciting, it's no longer nail biting edge of the seat material and you wanna know why?



[The Rock]
Because right here, right now, two thousand and twelve, The Rock is a million times better than that washed up bald headed double studded trailer park truck driving candy ass! Yeah! Baby! The very name Stone Cold Steve Austin used to send shivers down The Rocks spine, it used to command respect and install fear into everybody in the back but when The Rock showed up here tonight and was told that he'd be going ONE on ONE with the Bionic Redneck Steve Austin, you wanna know what The Rock said? Huh? He lifted up his head, cocked his eyebrow, took off his sunglasses, stared that sum' bitch worker in the face and told him, "Bring a nice warm cup of tea to The Rocks locker room"



[The Rock]
Because The Rock isn't scared of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock isn't worried about his match with Stone Cold Steve Austin and you can bet your uncle Paul's metal knee that The Rock no longer respects Stone Cold Steve Austin! If he actually thinks that he poses as a threat then fine, you all humor him and pretend that he's still the same ol' rattlesnake but in the meantime The Rock will be up here in his own separate league laughing as James Storm whoops his ass from here to Texas!



[The Rock]
There is however one reason that The Rock needs to go out there and win tonight, it is simple, every time someone mentions the epic rivalry of The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin they talk about how he was the bane of The Rocks career, how he beat him twice at Wrestlemania back in the WWF! But let The Rock just remind you all of something that you seem to be forgetting! Ever since he came to this company he has fought Austin one on one in the middle of that ring on three separate occasions and do you remember what happened every damn time!? The Rock beat his ass with a Rock Bottom slap bang in the center of HIS ring! One Two Three!



[The Rock]
So you can talk about all the bottom lines in the world, you can drink you're little steveweisers till the cow comes home, or whatever the hell you're calling Debra these days! You can quote your bible verses and tell anybody that will listen about Austin 3:16 but the fact of the matter is this, after tonight, when the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared you'll be lying on the mat looking up at the lights, looking up at The Rock on his turnbuckle with his arm held high for the fourth time in our XWL career's and you'll realize that Austin 3:16 no longer says I just whooped your ass, no, you'll see that Rocky 3:16 says The Great One just hung your broken ass out to dry and left me looking like a little bitch in front of the entire world! You'll be stumbling around the streets of Iowa, with no recollection of who you are because you have a size fourteen boot lodged up your ass, running down the high street screaming "WHAT!" "WHAT" "WHAT"



[The Rock]
If you smell. What The Rock is cookin'

Made for Adam in 15 mins

*Redemption returns from a commercial break and a video begins playing on the Titantron. You can see Michael McGillicutty and Mitch the Cameraman exiting what seems to be Mitch's Prius.*

{McGillicutty}
This is your car Mitch, seriously?

{Mitch}
Oh, come on Michael, this is all I can afford on my salary and it gets great mileage. By the way, what are we doing here?

{McGillicutty}
You'll see, I've got a plan.

*Michael and Mitch enter the unknown store and begin walking down the crowded isles. Along the way to their destination, a few customers recognize Michael and begin asking him for his autograph, which Michael replies with a “No.” They finally reach where they wanted to be and Michael begins to speak into the camera.*

{McGillicutty}
This fine building that Mitch and myself are in at the moment is where our beloved World Champion does his shopping. I know many of you are wondering what this place is called so you can dress like Justin Gabriel does. I think this place is called Macy's or something, don't really know, nor do I care. You can find Gabriel's official XWL t-shirt in the kids section as they only come in one size because grown men wouldn't be caught dead wearing them, get them while supplies last. You know, when I entered this place, I didn't expect to run into Gabriel's only fan but I somehow did. Without further ado, here is his biggest fan...

*Michael moves slightly to his left, revealing a cardboard cutout of who he believes is Justin Gabriel's only fan. He puts his arm on its shoulder and begins to speak.*



{McGillicutty}
So why exactly are you a fan of Gabriel?

*The cardboard cutout obviously doesn't speak but Michael just nods his head pretending that it does.*

{McGillicutty}
Fascinating! I never would have guessed it's because you both suck. You learn something new everyday I guess.

{Mitch}
Michael, where are you going with this?

{McGillicutty}
I got this Mitch. Oh, by the way Mitch, where were you last week when DiBiase had me in the Million Dollar Dream? Playing dress up with Michelle McCool? What happened to Bros before Hoes Mitch?

{Mitch}
Michelle is not a “hoe” as you put it Michael.

{McGillicutty}
Defending your little girlfriend instead of having my back last week, just like you Mitch. I don't pay you to go shopping, that loser almost choked the life out of me and you were nowhere to be found, at least Michael Cole tried to get that brute off of me.

{Mitch}
But you don't pay me Michael.

{McGillicutty}
Well, now you know why, don't you?

{Mitch}
Michael, Ted is not a loser, he's a fine young man with a bright future ahead of him.

{McGillicutty}
You can't be serious Mitch, he's a loser, just like the rest of his family.

{Mitch}
If he's a loser, what does that make you? I mean you did lose to him last week after all.

*In a fit of rage, Michael punches the cardboard cutout, ripping the head clean off. Mitch is now frozen in fear, possibly thinking that he's next. Michael calms himself down almost instantly but you can still hear the anger in his voice.*

{McGillicutty}
See what you made me do Mitch? If you would have just kept your mouth shut and done what I told you to do, we wouldn't be in this situation. Now I need to find another cutout. Do you know how hard it is to find Justin Gabriel's only fan? You ruined everything Mitch, I had some funny jokes but you killed it.

*Michael walks away from Mitch and the messed up cardboard cutout, shouting something about being Mr. Money in the Bank and the World Heavyweight Championship. The nearby shoppers just look at him like his crazy and continue what they were doing. Michael can barely be seen at the other end of the store, confronted by what seems to be the manager of the store and three or more security guards. The manager mouths something and points at Michael, who quickly levels the three security guards and makes a break for it, once again leaving Mitch stranded as Redemption fades to a commercial break.*

The crowd go insane as Randy Ortons theme song blares through the arena, the cheers only intensify as he steps out from behind the curtain and out onto the stage, staring into the sea of followers...



Josh Matthews is seen standing at the side of the stage where he is waiting with a microphone to interview the Viper, Orton raises his hands into the air to a huge pop as a loud "RKO" Chant booms in everyone's ears. He then walks over to Josh who begins to speak....



[Josh]
Ladies and Gentlemen I am standing by with the one and only, Apex predator! The third generation superstar, The Viper! Randy Orton! Now tonight Randy you go one on one with arguably the biggest rival in your XWL career, Christian! Now the history between you and Christian is well documented but I wanna know, just how are you feeling heading into this match up tonight?



[Randy Orton]
What do you want me to say? Do you want me to tell you how worried I am about going up against Christian tonight? Do you want me to tell you that I have my doubts, yes he may have beaten me in our last encounter inside a steel cage but trust me when I tell you that I was not finished, Christian decided that he had enough and he coated it with sprinkles of lies about how he was better than me but the fact of the matter remains! Our business has yet to be settled and tonight, tonight is all about bad blood, about resolving issues, putting things to rest and I have the chance to do just that! To get my hands on that weasel and fulfill both my dreams and his nightmares with one swift...kick to the head.

[Josh]
It will definitely be one to watch that's for sure, you also mentioned that tonight is all about bad blood, are there any other matches you have your eye on?



[Randy Orton]
Of course, there's some real contenders for match of the night, the first match that caught my eye when I looked at the rest of the card was "The Animal" Batista going up against "The Deadman" The Undertaker! Both men have something to prove here tonight, Batista wants to prove he's as dominant as ever and The Undertaker is right back to being his old self, he's going to want to win convincingly to prove that he is the most respected Superstar of all time for a reason and that he's still got it. Both of these men are big, strong, hard hitting warriors, trust me. I've stood across the ring from them both many of times on several different occasions and I can personally say that they pull no punches, they wont stop at any cost to make sure that their hand is the one held high when the bell rings. My personal pick to win? Batista. Brodus Clay has pissed him off in recent weeks and as we saw last week, the beast has been unleashed and there's absolutely no stopping him.



[Randy Orton]
Another one to watch should be "The Celtic Warrior" Sheamus facing off against Evan Bourne, this feud has lay dormant for almost a year now only to re-surface in a big way, Evans back on the scene here in XWL for the first time in a while and Sheamus is looking to settle the score from his World Heavyweight Championship match with Chris Jericho last year, in my opinion? Sheamus will rip his damn head off tonight and do it with a smile on his face, unless Evan has a game plan then he's history. That being said, both men are former World Champs in their own rights and shouldn't be counted out.



[Randy Orton]
Wresltemania 19, I sat backstage with my father among all the guys in the back and I watched two of the best this company has to offer battle it out, blood, sweat and tears with all of their pride on the line! The Rock wanted to prove that he could beat Stone Cold at Wrestlemania, it tore him apart inside, like a cancer in his soul but eventually, he got the job done and the match went on to be an all time classic. Tonight? We get to see them go at it all again right here in XWL, I for one can't wait to see Stone Cold Steve Austin mop the ring with him and put him back in his place. Another interesting feud from the past resurfacing tonight in front of our eyes will be Edge vs John Cena. Only this time Edge wont be up to any of his cheap tricks, it'll be a good old fashioned fight between two former ends turned enemies, I'll go with Edge on this one, he's been on fire as of late with no signs of stopping.



[Randy Orton]
Last but not least we have the main event of the evening, McGillicutty and Daniel Bryan vs World Heavyweight Champion Justin Gabriel and Ted DiBase. All four men in this match up have had a great two thousand and eleven, Michael McGillicutty may not be my most favorite guy on the roster but last year he burst on the scene by calling out Ted DiBiase right away, he then followed up by winning the X-Treme Championship and holding it for longer than anyone else in recent memory, he lost it at Final Stand and what did he do? He jumped right back on the horse and beat five other guys, myself included, and won the Money In The Bank briefcase which grant him the right to a World Heavyweight Championship match at any time in the next year. His partner Daniel Bryan has also been impressive as of late, picking up wins and steamrolling towards the main event scene.



[Randy Orton]
In the other corner, Ted DiBiase, he may have lost to The Rock in a big way at Final Stand, I mean The Rock really tor him a new one, that must have been embarrassing, it wasn't even close. But this little guy is a fighter, he always has been, I saw that gleam in his eyes when I took him under my wing, and that was the same focus and determination he needed to pull out of his ass heading into the number one contender match with Edge and what did he do? He won. His partner? Justin Gabriel, quite possibly on the biggest year of his life, he beat his former best friend turned biggest enemy on the grandest stage of them all for the most prestigious prize in our industry, does life get any sweeter for him at this point?



[Josh]
Thank you Randy, now, for my last question before I let you go. What's next for the career of Randy Orton?



[Randy Orton]
Well a couple of weeks ago I defeated who most people call the best United States Champion this company has ever seen. I know, I can feel it deep down, I can do it again and I will, I'm going to take that strap, because I can. Shawn's days as Champion are numbered because The Viper has set his sites on his belt. My name is Randy Orton, the next United States Champion.

Randy Orton's theme hits yet again as he strolls over to the middle of the stage and shoots the crowd a smile before throwing his arms into the air in his signature pose as XWL's Redemption Special cuts to commercial...

Normal Match


(Alan) Wade Barrett Vs Big Show

---

---

Wade Barrett's theme hits the speakers as he pins Big Show to the mat for the three count after hitting his signature Wasteland. As Barrett gets to his feet, the ref attempts to raise his arm for the victory but Wade pulls his arm away and throws it in the air, celebrating his own victory.



Turning back around to face the camera, Wade smirks and looks on towards the crowd, soaking in and enjoying their hatered of his victory.



Wade, still worn out and sweating from his match that just ended, walks towards the ring announcer and grabs a microphone before addressing the audience.



[Wade Barrett]
Don't you touch me. You're a referee. I just defeated the Big Show, me, on my own without a single problem, as always. If you wanna' try to steal my spotlight, you'll end up just like him. Lying in the middle of the ring, no idea where you are, just another victim of the Barrett Barrage. Nearly four hundred and fifty pounds of man lies before you all, and you can take that as a warning, the first step of a lethal takeover. I told you that I was reclaiming what was mine, and step by step, I'm doing just that.



[Wade Barrett]
Last year, I made Breakdown my own when I dominated as Intercontinental Champion and World Heavyweight Champion. And now, Redemption will suffer the same fate. Because you see, the winds of change are back. And this time, they're not only taking Wade Barrett to the top of the roster, they're taking him to the top of the entire industry once more. Before I leave, I'll say just one thing, a warning if you will. Redemption, you've seen what I'm capable of when I destroyed every man in the Breakdown locker room, and now that I'm back, things are no different. I showed tonight that the largest man that Redemption has to offer was no match for Wade Barrett! Now I'm going back to my locker room, get this slob out of my ring.



Wade smirks as he slowly lowers the microphone from his mouth. Walking past Big Show who is lying on the ground, he can be heard mumbling the words "you're just another victim" as he passes by. Barrett walks to the ropes and exits the ring, walking up the ramp whilst still smirking at what he's done on his return night. Now at the ramp, Wade stops and stares at the ring as Big Show tries to roll out and get back to his feet. Before leaving, Wade raises his arm in the air showing his victory one final time before turning around and walking away.



XWL cuts to a video package for Wade Barrett.

Following a very well put together hype video for the XWL draft taking place in two weeks, we're taken backstage inside the General Manager's office, where we don't see Vickie Guerrero ordering around some poor sap, we instead see the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship nice and comfy on Vickie's sofa and he's apparently in the middle of a video game with Hornswoggle!



Our cameras turn direction to the screen where Ted DiBiase is shown playing as himself, while Hornswoggle seems to be playing as Ted's opponent at Bad Blood, his best friend, and the World Heavyweight Champion, Justin Gabriel! Ted leaps off the top rope in the video game, but Gabriel rolls out of the way then nails a swift sto out of no where. Hornswoggle covers Ted as he patiently tries to time the kick out bar, just as the referee shouts out two, Ted kicks out! That's when he pauses the game and just looks at his video game pal.



{Ted DiBiase}
Hornswoggle!

{Hornswoggle}
Hahahahaha!

{Ted DiBiase}
It's not funny, ya' know I might be whooping your little tail at this game if I wasn't so busy preparing for the actual match!

Suddenly the door to Vickie's office opens, and Ted pops up to his feet smiling, but why would he be smiling to see Vickie Guerrero? Because it's not Vickie Guerrero!



That's right as the person steps further into the room, and Ted's smile becomes even more friendlier, we find out that it's none other than Teddy Long!

{Teddy Long}
Holla holla!

{Ted DiBiase}
Theodore!

{Teddy Long}
Hey there playa! So what are you two up to?

{Ted DiBiase}
Well he's kinda killing me at this video game...



Teddy looks down at Hornswoggle just smiling.

{Teddy Long}
Good to see you're staying out of trouble, Hornswoggle.

{Hornswoggle}
Hahaha!

{Ted DiBiase}
But enough about us, let's talk about you Mr. big shot! How'd ya pull off landing this little gig?

{Teddy Long}
You know Vickie, she's been complaining to the higher ups about needing an assistant, so they called me, and well, here I am!



{Ted DiBiase}
Here you are indeed! A little birdie told me that tonight's show was your idea! Major props man, Redemption's first ever supershow, and Michael Cole isn't on commentary?! The ratings will go through the roof!

{Teddy Long}
I thank you for the kind words, but believe me, it wasn't easy. I just felt Joey Styles deserved his shot at joining JR & King for once.

{Ted DiBiase}
Believe me, I agree one hundred and fifty percent! Plus, it's gonna be nice knowing that while I'm out there tonight in the main-event, tagging with my buddy Gabe, that for the first time in a very long time, I won't hear him ranting and raving about how I'm paying off referees! If I was paying off referees, wouldn't I have been champion by now? Because if so, I deserve my money back!

{Teddy Long}
Well you know Cole, he's a bit high strung.




{Ted DiBiase}
Understatement of the year! But yeah man, just wanna let you know I think for it being your first week on the job that you're doing great! I especially like that you got me and Justin tagging up in the main-event, at one time we were a force to be reckoned with! That is until he....Well...We all know what happened!

He laughs jokingly.

{Teddy Long}
I actually don't...What happened?



{Ted DiBiase}
Well, it's ancient history now, but let's just say the influence of a certain Englishman lead Justin down a not so...Uh, "righteous" path. But really that's over and done with, we've squashed any "bad blood" that might've caused, and I'm really looking forward to our title match this Sunday.

{Teddy Long}
I wish you two much luck tonight and at Bad Blood, now if you'll excuse me I've gotta go draw up some contracts for XWL's big draft show.

{Ted DiBiase}
Later, Teddy!

Ted then turns his attention back to his game with Hornswoggle as Theodore Long exits the office.

{Ted DiBiase}
Now let's do this!

He unpauses the game, and as we begin to fade away Hornswoggle and Ted continue their simulation of the Bad Blood main-event.

Just a fun little random promo

*The camera opens up on the announcer's table where Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, and Joey Styles are sitting.

{King}
Up next were going to be seeing James Storm taking on R-Truth, Storm has been on a stop and go streak since defeating Steve Austin at Final Stand in a Steel Cage. As a matter of fact Final Stand is symbolic of this current stint because Storm won the battle against Steve Austin but lost the war later that night when he came up short in the Money in the Bank ladder match.

{JR}
Storm is in a funk since Final Stand but he did manage to win last week against a man on a hot streak since Final Stand in Davey Richards, but with an assist from current Intercontinental Champion Joey Ryan. Storm needs to win clean here tonight or something needs to be fixed.

{Styles}
That is correct JR, lets get this match underway.



*Storm bursts through the curtain and is met with a reaction of half boo's and half cheer's, Storm is somewhat perplexed by this reaction but he continues to the ring with his usual mannerisms.





*He reaches the bottom of the ramp and sees fans begging for high-fives, he looks at them confused and ignores them climbing up to the apron and then to the turnbuckle. He starts looking around the arena to the fans where the mixed reactions continue.



*Storm removes his entrance gear and prepares for his opponent.



Normal Match


James Storm Vs R-Truth

As R-Truth and Storm meet in the center of the ring, Truth starts screaming and spouting off random nonsense and slides to the outside and starts shouting at the fans around the ring which incites a loud waves of boo's as this happens he dives into the ring still yelling and turns around right into a LAST CALL!!!! Storm drops down to pin him. 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! The fans begin to cheer loudly after Storm gets to his feet and he begins looking around extremely confused.

Winner:

*Storm reaches over the ropes and calls for a mic.



{James Storm}
What the hell is wrong with you people? Why are you cheering me? Because I shut this lunatic up? Because I'm losing?! What the hell is wrong with you people? I am a professional wrestler, my life and job isn't for your entertainment!

*The crowd begins chanting "JAMES STORM" over and over again. Storm begins to become enraged and starts yelling into the mic.



{James Storm}
SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTHS!!

*Storm spikes the mic onto the ground and he rages up the ramp and into the backstage area while the crowd continues to cheer for Storm. The show cuts to commercial.

Series Update

Rumor has it that Alex Shelley has sustained some type of injury, though it hasn’t been made clear how he got hurt and if he will be able to compete tonight. If he is too hurt to compete tonight, then it would almost be a given that he wouldn’t be able to recover quickly enough to wrestle at Bad Blood so his place in the series is in jeopardy for the time being. As was the case with John Morrison's injury, a superstar will still be eliminated at the conclusion of this week's set of matches regardless of whether or not Shelley is removed from the series due to injury.

*Redemption returns from a commercial break and is taken backstage to catering where both the Number One Contenders for Shawn Michaels United States Championship, Daniel Bryan and Michael McGillicutty, are sitting down, enjoying their food; possibly discussing a game plan for their tag team match later tonight against the World Heavyweight Champion, Justin Gabriel and the Leader of the DiBiase Posse, Ted DiBiase.*

{McGillicutty}
Daniel, what are you eating?

{Daniel Bryan}
It's a vegan cupcake, you should try one.

{McGillicutty}
A vegan cupcake? What the hell is a vegan cupcake? Don't answer that, we need to discuss a strategy against Gabriel and Ted. Lets see, on one side we got Gabriel, who got a fluke win on Wade Barrett to win the championship and Ted, who probably paid off Edge to squirm his way to being the number one contender. And on the other we got the best vegan wrestler in the world, Daniel Bryan, and the greatest third generation superstar to ever live, me, Michael McGillicutty. Doesn't seem like we need a game plan now, does it?

{Daniel Bryan}
Seriously dude? We're fighting the World champion and his number one contender tonight. So, no, we don't need a game plan. All we need is the god-giving talent that we were born to have. What we need to talk about is Bad Blood. You may not want to face it, but we ARE going to fight for the number one contendership for the US title. Don't worry though dude, I'll take it easy on ya.

*Michael's expression changes to a more serious one, which quickly fades as a smile creeps on his face.*

{McGillicutty}
Good one, you almost had me. But you're right, at Bad Blood, it will be the both of us fighting to be the number one contender for the United States Championship. With our combined charisma and our unmatched natural ability, our match at Bad Blood is going to be the real Main Event, not that snooze-fest World Championship match.

{Daniel Bryan}
Oh yeah, we're gonna steal the show! But that's neither here nor there, you need to know that I will NOT take it easy on you. I plan on making my old mentor Shawn Michaels tap out, and know one will get in my way, not even you. But as for tonight, that third-generation failure and that fluke champion will know who really belongs on the top of this company.

{McGillicutty}
I wouldn't expect you to take it easy on me, may the better man win. Whoever does win between us would be a much better champion that he could ever hope to be. But enough about that, where is Mitch, haven't seen him since I left him at Macy's earlier today. He's probably still trying to hitch a ride here. If, by some off, chance he actually is here, we should be the first ones to “greet” him, don't you think?

*Daniel nods his head as he finishes the last of his vegan cupcake. Both men rise from their seats and begin the search for Mitch, who may not even be in the building. Redemption goes to a quick commercial break.*




*Redemption returns from the commercial break as cameras cut backstage to see Justin Gabriel walking down he hall way then a voice can be heard*

[Interviewer]
Justin! Can I just Talk to you for a moment?

[Justin Gabriel]
Hang on a minute.. You're Mitch aren't you? Michael McGillicutty's bitch.. right?

[Mitch]
Actually I'm his interviewer and personal Referee.

[Justin Gabriel]
So where is McGillicutty hiding? is he behind me right now? Or maybe he's hiding in the Divas Locke room.. I mean he can't be far behind because you're about.

[Mitch]
I'm just here to get a few words from the World Champ. I don't know where Michael Is... I just wanted to interview you.

[Justin Gabriel]
Alright.. I can see why. It must be boring for you to hang around with someone like Mcgillicutty. He's the type of guy who's cocky when he's achieved nothing to be proud of. It must get boring for you to listen to him go on and on about the same stuff every week. So I feel sorry for you,man. So I understand why you want to talk to me.. It'll be a good memory for you talking to the World Champ.. that's something McGillicutty will never achieve. You can finally talk to someone who worked his way to his business rather than someone who got into it because his Father happens to be Mr.Perfect. So.. Go on, What's your first question?

[Mitch]
Well at Bad Blood you face Ted DiBiase for the World Championship. Do you think you can beat Ted?


[Justin Gabriel]
Me and Ted have crossed paths a few times in the past, but over recent months we've been on a similar level. We've both really risen up from XWL in the past year, So We'll put on a awesome match, where I believe the best man will win.

[Mitch]
But tonight, do you think you can coexist with Ted when you take on Mr. Money In the Bank Michael McGillicutty and Daniel Bryan?

[Justin Gabriel]
Me and Ted have teamed a few times in the past and never had a problem.. apart from that one time but let's not get into that again. But Seriously, I think we can make a great team and leave victorious tonight. We both want that vital win heading into the PPV.. Plus We Both Hate Michael McGillicutty.So I'm confident we can make a good team again, and get the win.

[Mitch]
And Finally, are you worried that Michael could cash in his contract at any time? Including tonight.. or even Bad Blood.

[Justin Gabriel]
You Know, What? I hope he cashes in tonight. I'd love to be the one to shut his mouth. Whenever he feels like man enough to cash in Face to Face, then I'd be happy to defend this title against him, and to beat him. He fluked a win in Money In The Bank, unfortunately for Michael he wouldn't get that same luck whenever he cashes in no matter who the champ is. Heck, even you Mitch, Could be the world Champ and Michael would choke. He hasn't proven himself at the top of this company, and I don't think he ever will.

[Mitch]
Well..thanks for your time.

*Just then, both Daniel Bryan and Michael McGillicutty were walking down a hallway and spot Mitch along with Justin Gabriel. Not having been spotted yet, both men begin to carefully but strategically approach Gabriel. Gabriel turns right into a stiff roundhouse kick from Bryan, leveling the World Champion, signaling the start of a vicious assault from the number one contenders to the United States Championship.*

*As Bryan continues the attack, Michael notices Mitch walking into a room, not even aware of what's going on behind him. He yells out to Mitch, who quickly turns around and sees Bryan attacking Gabriel with Michael looking at him. He walks over to Michael and asks him why he's attacking Gabriel. Michael responds with “Because we can.” Michael motions to Bryan to pick Gabriel up and instructs Mitch to attack him. Mitch quickly declines and takes a few steps back, annoying Michael. Michael turns around and attempts to punch Gabriel but before he can, Gabriel kicks Michael in the face, forcing him to stagger. He manages to break out of Bryan's grip, spinning around and delivering a forearm straight to Bryan's face.*

*Gabriel's brief sign of a showing life is ended almost as fast as it started with a hard chair shot by Michael. He tosses the chair towards the floor and regains his composure. Bryan tells Michael something and runs down the hallway until he's out of sight. Michael is slightly confused but just brushes it off and continues the attack. About thirty seconds pass and Bryan returns to the scene of the assault, hiding something in his hands. He tells Michael to pick Gabriel up and Michael, unsure of what's going to happen next, picks him up. Bryan hits Gabriel over the head with something unknown, which is revealed to be a vegan cupcake shortly after. Michael is almost in a state of confusion as to why someone would even use a vegan cupcake as a weapon.*


*After a few more seconds of Michael as confused as can be, he shakes it off then assists Daniel by holding Gabriel so he can lock him in the Lebell lock! Daniel begins to pull as Gabriel is helplessly clawing the floor trying to get free but there's no hope it seems. While Daniel Bryan has Gabriel in his grasp, Michael walks over and grabs his Money In The Bank briefcase. He then kneels down getting in front of Gabriel holding his case up high and shouting as while Bryan continues to wrench his painful submission hold over the World Champion.*


{McGillicutty}
Look at it Gabriel! This is your fate, you've avoided me for far too long, but look around, no one's here to save you, and there's nothing you can do!

*Daniel pulls back even more as Gabriel lets out cries of anguish while Michael just stares at him with a devilish smile.*


{McGillicutty}
More Daniel! Make him beg! Make him scream! Make him see that I'm just seconds away from becoming World Heavyweight Champion anytime I please!


The Mr. Money In The Bank then stands up with his case held high, and Daniel pulls back even more forcing Gabriel to look up at him.*

{McGillicutty}
LOOK AT IT!

*But just then a loud "Hey!" followed by a "What the hell do you think you're doing" is heard. However before Daniel Bryan and Michael McGillicutty can find out who it is, Michael's taken down from behind by an angry Ted DiBiase! He grabs him by the waistband of his trunks then with as much force as possible chucks him into a trash can! The bin tips over as Michael holds his back in pain and DiBiase turns his attention now to Daniel Bryan.*

{Ted DiBiase}
Where do you think you're going!?

*Bryan tries to escape, but Justin takes some revenge by tripping Bryan up, and Ted pulls him off the floor laying into him with hard forearms shots, before grabbing him by his arm and throws him right into a rising Michael McGillicutty. As the two collide Michael yells out at him then instead of arguing they begin to run off staggering away from the scene. Ted then grabs hold of McGillicutty's case that he left behind looks down at it before smiling.*

{Ted DiBiase}
Hey Mikey!

*The cameras show Michael turn around glaring at Ted*

{Ted DiBiase}
You forgot this!

*Suddenly Ted throws the case up into the air, then when it starts to fall down, he pull his leg back then swings it forward punting the case as if it were a football! It flies down the hallway before a loud cracking sound against the floor is heard along with Michael yelling in anger in the distance and shouts out "This isn't over!" before the cameras turn their direction back to Ted who kneels down to check on Gabriel asking if he's okay and apologizing for not getting there sooner before we fade away to the view of Ted helping his opponent at Bad Blood and partner later tonight up to his feet.*

[Todd Grisham]
Ladies and Gentlmen, My Guest at this time, One of the men competeing in the XWL 15 Championship Semi Final...The Game, Triple H.

[Todd Grisham]
Triple H, tonight you look to advance into the Final to crown the first ever XWL 15 Champion.You've been impressive since your return but tonight you take on the the former United States Champion..Kevin Steen. Do You..


[Triple H]
Let me stop you right there, Todd. I know, You're going to ask me if I have what It takes, if I believe I can beat Steen... Ofcourse I can. I am The Game, I have what it takes to beat any man in this business. Now, I'm back and I'm better than ever. I've already beaten a former United States Champion in Jack Swagger, Last Week I destroyed a so called Monster In Brodus Clay. In just 3 weeks, I've been more successful than I have ever been in XWL. I'm proving that I mean business and I'm no longer messing around. Kevin Steen will find out first hand tonight, just exactly what I'm now capable off. Then I'll go on to becoming the first ever XWL 15 Champion.


[Triple H]
The 15 Championship is perfect for me.. It gives me a guaranteed 15 Minutes, to do whatever I want. There is no limit to the destruction I can cause. I'm free to do whatever the hell I want to do, and It's all legal. It gives me the perfect chance to show that the old.. ass kicking, mean son of a bitch Triple H is back. I showed it against Jack Swagger.. pinning him 3 times in just 15 Minutes.. and I showed it against Brodus Clay by destroying a man that's twice my size. And tonight, my path of destruction continues, The only one true destroyer continues his way to the top. I do it tonight, then at Bad Blood I'll beat a former multi-time World Champion, in Evan Bourne.


[Triple H]
I've got nothing to lose here in XWL, Because I've already lost everything I ever had,But I have everything to gain. Kevin Steen will regret ever stepping into that ring with me, Just like Brodus and Swagger do. My rise continues, and Won't stop till I once again become a World Champion. At Final Stand I put the entire lockeroom on notice, and I meant every thing I said. Whoever steps in my way, It Could be The Rock it could be CM Punk.. Anybody who tries to step in my way will just be taken down like the rest of them. You are looking at the next big thing in this company, and You are looking at a future World Heavyweight Champion.


*Triple H smirks before walking off screen as Redemption fade to commercial*

Normal Match


Sheamus Vs Evan Bourne

---

Sheamus' theme hits the speakers and the Celtic Warrior quickly barges his way through the curtain and storms out onto the stage. With a smirk on his face, Sheamus is seemingly excited to finally get his hands on Evan Bourne in a one on one match. Walking further out onto the stage, Sheamus stops and begins to beat his chest roughly for his signature taunt.





Throwing his arms outwards to his side, with a burst of energy Sheamus takes off down the ramp and begins to make his way to the ring, Shouting as he taunts, as if in touch with the Celtic Warrior in his blood.



The nameplate for Sheamus appears at the bottom of the screen as he nears the end of the ramp. With a look of anger still in his eyes, the Celtic Warrior takes a deep breath of anticipation and powers on to the ring steps, making his way into the ring.



Now in the ring, Sheamus walks around the entire ring in a pacing motion, preparing to finally recieve the match that he's longed for, for so long. The history, the attacks, the interferance, the fighting, all comes to a head. Sheamus and Evan bourne will finally get the one on one match that they've been working towards for so long, and this is apparent in the eyes of Sheamus. Anger and rememberence can be seen in Sheamus' eyes as he ponders in the ring.



Sheamus throws his arms out once more and takes yet another deep breath, ready and pumped for the oncoming match.



The cameraman gets into the ring to zoom in, in order to show Sheamus' full expression, when suddenly as he continues to shout out with his arms spread wide, the cameraman charges with his camera in hand at the unsuspecting Sheamus laying him out with a sickening shot!




[King]
What the hell?!

[JR]
Bah gawd!

[Joey Styles]
Sheamus just got laid out by....The cameraman?!

Fans aren't sure how to react as the cameraman stands over Sheamus with his camera at his side, and Sheamus seemingly knocked out from the blow. That's when the mysterious cameraman places his hand on his cap, and slowly starts to pull it off revealing his identity as....Evan Bourne?!

[JR]
That was Evan Bourne?!

[Joey Styles]
I'd say I can't believe it, but Evan actually returned this very same way last year at Bad Blood when he cost Sheamus his rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship!

[King]
But why did he do it again?


As his identity is revealed, the fans rise to their feet cheering, while a smirk forms on Evan's face.

[Joey Styles]
Perhaps this is payback for Sheamus' assault on Evan at Final Stand over three weeks ago.

[King]
Well he sure took his time!

[JR]
Evan challenged Sheamus to a match this week, which he accepted, but it seems as if Evan had no interest in facing him in a match, he just wanted some sweet revenge.


Evan then drops down and rolls under the ropes before searching under the ring, and grabbing a Singapore cane. He holds it up to a huge response from the fans in the arena, then slides into the ring and begins to lash into Sheamus showing no mercy. Sheamus hollers out in pain rolling away but Evan refuses to let up on his assault. Sheamus finally rolls over to the ropes going under them and collapsing to the floor with red marks from the cane all over his back and chest.


[JR]
Would you just look at Sheamus' back!

[Joey Styles]
He's trying to get away but Evan's in hot pursuit and showing no sign of letting up!

[King]
To an extent though this isn't really fair, Sheamus thought he was going to be in a match, not savagely attacked!

[Joey Styles]
Not fair? Sheamus attacked Evan on his birthday, he's had this coming.


Sheamus pulls himself up using the barricade, as Evan exits the ring, cane still in hand and goes back on the attack striking Sheamus with the cane over and over, he flinches from the hard shots, tries to shield himself but there's no use, he blocks his legs and gets hit in the arms, he holds his arms and gets stricken in the back! Sheamus then gets furious suddenly, catches the cane as Evan tried to strike him, then yanks it out of his hand, and snaps it across his knee!


[Joey Styles]
Uh-oh!

[JR]
Sheamus looks furious, I would not wanna be Evan Bourne right now.

[King]
I don't even think he wants to be Evan Bourne right now!

Evan looks shocked and slightly afraid, Sheamus is seething red and charges at him, Evan runs away running around the ringside arena, with Sheamus not far behind him. Evan tries to jump over the barricade to high tail it into the crowd, but Sheamus grabs him by his arm, tries to pull him inward for a direct hit clothesline, but Evan ducks under it then kicks his hand freeing himself from him then the chase continues as the two approach the announce table. Evan stops for a second, looks back noticing Sheamus closing in on him, then continues running, leaps off the floor landing feet first on top of the announcer's table, Sheamus then raises both his arms up to strike Evan, but Bourne back flips off the table, landing behind Sheamus. Sheamus quickly turns around, and right into a back savate kick right to the jaw!

[King]
Talk about having a good view!

[JR]
This is getting quite out of control.

[Joey Styles]
That kick was heard world wide!

Sheamus slumps back against the table, and Evan wastes no time tightly pull his head up by his hair then proceeds to bounce his head right off the table several times. Evan lets up, yells out to the crowd, then slams his head one last time! Sheamus droops downward, he's dazed from having his skull smacked against the table over and over. Still loopy from the assault, Sheamus falls down to his hands and knees on the floor, Evan then pulls him forward inbetween his legs, then tries to lift him off the mat for perhaps his Aftershock finisher maneuver, but Sheamus is too much dead weight for the small Evan Bourne to lift up, giving Sheamus time to come to and nail Evan with a swift low blow!


[Joey Styles]
Ow!

[King]
That's gotta hurt!

[JR]
I'll say, King.

Sheamus then follows up by pulling Evan barely up to his feet, then proceeds to deliver a serious of hard clubbing shots to his back. The fans boo but Sheamus pays them no mind, his pounding blows continue until Evan's back is bright red, then after letting out his anger, Sheamus pulls him up inbetween his legs, throws his arms out wide letting out his Irish battle cry, then lifts him up in the air holding him high by his shoulders suspended in the air and seemingly motionless. He holds the position for a few seconds, then tries to throw him through the announcer's table, but Evan was apparently playing possum, struggles free landing behind Sheamus, then jumps up onto the apron waiting for him to turn around. The commentators are on their feet unsure of if they're safe or not despite Sheamus' plans not working. Sheamus then slowly starts to turn around, that's when Evan backs up against the ring post, then runs along the apron jumping off after gaining momentum, wrapping his legs around Sheamus from mid flight, and sends him skull first into the edge of the announcer's table with a sickening hurricanrana.

[Joey Styles]
Oh my god!

[JR]
Dear lord, Sheamus' skull just bounced right off the side of our table!

[King]
Is he okay?!


Sheamus lies next to the table not moving and the referee at ringside rushes to check on him as Evan walks over to the timekeeper motioning for a microphone.

[Evan Bourne]
Fool you once, shame on me, fool you twice, and paybacks a bitch, fella.


With that said a smirk forms across his face and he throws the microphone down to the floor as his theme begins to sound throughout the arena.



[JR]
Well it's been a long time coming but it looks as if the inevitable rivalry between Sheamus and Evan Bourne is in full swing. These two aren't fond of one another one bit, and that's evident by everything we've seen in the past month.

[King]
You have to wonder though if Sheamus might enact some sort of revenge at Bad Blood. Like perhaps costing Evan the finals of the XWL 15 tournament? He'll meet the winner of the Triple H versus Kevin Steen semi finals match later tonight, so will Sheamus cost Evan his chance at gold, just like Evan did last year at Bad Blood to Sheamus?

[Joey Styles]
I suppose anything's possible, but as to what happens next I'm not sure, I was almost positive these two would have a match here tonight, but apparently Evan had other plans.


We then cut away to a commercial break after taking one last look at a rising Sheamus holding his head in pain shoving away referees and glaring at Evan Bourne who had made his way up to the ramp.
