XWL Bad Blood: 4/22/2012 - 4/29/2012

*After Mickie James versus Trish Stratus comes to a close we head backstage where can see Batista. The crowd pops for 'the Animal.' His ribs are all taped up and it looks as if he's preparing for his match with Brodus Clay up next. As he turns around, Vickie Guerrero appears to loud heat.*

[Vickie Guerrero]
Oh, Batista! Just the man I was looking for!

[Batista]
What do you want, Vickie? I might just have a match up next.

[Vickie Guerrero]
Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

[Batista]
What is there to talk about?

[Vickie Guerrero]
Come on Dave, we both now of the situation at hand here.

[Batista]
What situation? Do you mean the one how I'm not going to leave Brodus standing?

[Vickie Guerrero]
No! Just look at you! There is no way you can compete tonight, and I'm not going to let you!

[Batista]
Vickie, this is nothing to me. I'm finishing this with Brodus, tonight.

[Vickie Guerrero]
Batista, please don't make this difficult.

[Batista]
You don't understand. I need to wrestle this match. I need to win this match.

[Vickie Guerrero]
I do understand, actually. It's you who doesn't understand. I was just talking to our head trainer and not only are your ribs injured, but you have a concussion. After that fight you had with Brodus on Redemption Supershow, I cannot allow you to compete.

[Batista]
Vickie, I don't give a DAMN about that stuff. This is HAPPENING-

[Vickie Guerrero]
EXCUSE ME! I SAID THIS MATCH WON'T HAPPEN, AND IT'S NOT! THAT'S FINAL!

[Batista]
Well if I can't get Brodus in the ring, then I am going to find him back here.

*Batista goes to leave to find Brodus, but is stopped by Vickie.*

[Vickie Guerrero]
I knew you were going to try to pull this! Just for that, I decided to give Brodus the free pass not to come here tonight to make sure you guys didn't end up brawling again. Good night, Dave!

*Vickie smiles as she walks off. Batista is fuming, and he spots a nearby chair. He grabs it and tosses it across the hallway! Batista just starts wrecking everything; tossing boxes around and making a mess. As he continues to throw items around, he suddenly cools down and leans against the wall. He slides down to the floor and holds his head. Is this the collapse of Dave Batista?*

Normal Match


Kelly Kelly Vs Michelle McCool

The match started off with Kelly getting in control and staying in control for the first part of the match up. She hits the first finisher in the match, but Michelle is able to kick out at a 2 count. Eventually, a little bit after the finisher was hit, Michelle is able to get her own offense in. The match stays back and forth with both Divas hitting finishers on each other throughout the match which only lead to the other kicking out.

As the match goes on Kelly begins to gain the upper hand, hitting a series of moves on McCool. Kelly attempts then grabs Michelle and irish whips her towards the ropes and Michelle comes running back at Kelly. Kelly jumps up and looks to hit a hurricanarana but when she trys to flip McCool over with her, McCool is able to maintain her balance and reverses the move into her signature faith breaker. She connects with it and turns Kelly over, but doesn't go for the pinfall. Instead she walks over to the legs of Kelly and locks begins to lock in her signature submission move, Make A Diva Tap.

Kelly begins to scream and writhe in pain. She tries to hit Michelle with her arm to break free but Michelle just shoves her with her other arm. Michelle smirks and quickly slams her own back on the mat. The pressure exerting from the hold even more excruciating than before. Kelly’s driven to the brink by this point where she begins yelling at the top of her lungs. Begging and pleading for Michelle to let go. The fans begin to chant for her and Kelly tries to muster the courage to slowly slide on her back towards the ropes. Inching slowly, hesitantly, with one last oomph Kelly grabs the bottom rope. The referee begins to count 1... 2.… 3... Yelling, ordering McCool to break the hold. Michelle Breaks it and gets up. As Kelly goes to grab her leg Michelle smirks and puts her foot on the ankle of Kelly. Kelly screams in pain and Michelle smirks and drags her to the center of the ring. She looks around at the audience before grabbing the leg yet again and applies the Mad-T one more time.

Tears begin rolling down Kelly’s face by this point her screams muffled by the tears and pain she’s feeling. Michelle looks at her and begins screaming “wittle kelly gonna cry?” She looks around and rears back yet again gripping Kelly’s ankle even tighter. Almost knocked out from the pain the crowd begins to chant for Kelly. She slowly raises her head and looks around. Unconscious from the pain she looks up and in one final breathe passes out. Michelle latches onto her ankle and in doing so the referee rushes to check on Kelly. Aware of what has transpired he motions for several referee’s and staff to come from the back. Several staff members come out and try and break Kelly free of Michelle’s grip. After several grueling minutes they manage to pry Michelle off of Kelly. Michelle stands up and the referee walks over to the ring announcer and says something before getting back in the ring. He sighs and raises Michelle’s hand. Michelle smirks as it’s blatantly obvious Kelly is in no condition to continue. Michelle’s music hits and she taunts before rolling out of the ring. She begins walking up the ramp as EMT’s rush out to aid Kelly Kelly. The camera focuses on McCool who smirks as Bad Blood fades to a commercial.

As Bad blood continues Josh Matthews is shown stoodby John Cena! Cheers from the crowd can be heard as Cena is shown smiling

John Cena
Hey Josh whats going on?



Josh matthews
Hey john, erm nothing much what about you?

John Cena
Well you know same old, same old…

Josh matthews
So John how are you feeling about tonight? Some people have been saying you haven’t been the same since Final Stand what do you have to say to those people?



John Cena
Well it’s probably true, losing to Shawn when I was sure I had the match won was a tough blow. Everyone knew I had my eyes set on the United States title and it was something I didn’t want to lose. Losing the MITB? Well that was another blow but I think that it wouldn’t have been as bad had another superstar won, but to lose to Mcgillicutty was just shocking, I mean did anyone see him getting the win in that match? But anyway the past is the past and truth is that I was a bit taken back by it all and after a few weeks I wasn’t feeling like myself. I think tonight is where it all changes, I don’t know why but Christian has just been a thorn in my ass since day 1. Why the hell he thought he could come onto Redemption and claim it is his show I don’t know. Tonight I’m gonna kick his ass back to breakdown.



John Cena
Tonight I am not thinking about anything which happened at final stand and I am looking to bring back the old john Cena. After I beat Christian tonight hopefully he will get the message I am not someone who he can just try to pick a fight with and he’ll go fight against mcgillicutty or something. The thing is I never asked for him to fight me, he came and wanted to pick a fight with me. Many people have done it and many people have failed trying. Just look at Cody, Dwayne, R Truth….People always seem to have an issue with me and I don’t know why. I have good morals, I always like to have the fans cheering my name and maybe that’s it. Maybe my good personality is what they hate about me, either way when I’m in the ring I back up everything I say.



Josh matthews
Well John you certainly don’t seem like anything is bringing you down, what are we going to see in the future for John Cena?

John Cena
Well it’s time people who seem to think they can pick on me stop. I’m going to continue being the friendly face everyone knows and love but I’m going to be a lot more serious and determined when I step into that ring. I still have my eyes set on that United States title so Shawn, your days are numbered…I will get another shot and I will look at going back to the form I was in just a few months ago. I was on top of the world and I want to be back to that, just watch me out there against Christian tonight. I plan to not lose and I will not lose to a man who wines and moans just like him. I will be walking out of here with a win and I will be walking out of here with Christian just a thing of the past…Now if you excuse me John I have a match to compete in, wish me luck…

John walks out of the camera view as the camera fades to the stage, the anticipated crowd are waiting for the arrival of Cena…after a few minutes a ref appears and heads to the ring before another familiar theme hits…

Eve Torres Vs Layla El (C)


























As Eve stalks Layla for her own neckbreaker, Layla turns around and had apparently grabbed her title that she left on the edge of the apron and nails Eve right in the face with it resulting in the disqualification and Layla staring on the ramp smirking while Eve can't believe that just happened, she may have won tonight, but she didn't win the title.

Short ftw

As bad blood carries on the camera fades out to some of the highlights we have already seen in the evening. As the camera comes back we see shots of the crowd before suddenly a familiar theme blasts around the arena…



Joey makes his way onto the stage looking around and laughing at the fans before walking down the ramp, he notices a sign one of the fans is holding which says “Sleazy is the future!” He stops before taking his bandana off and throwing it too the fan. He quickly jumps on the apron before going through the second rope, he walks and picks up a mic which is in the center of the ring before beginning to speak



Joey Ryan
Final Stand, the place where dreams were made off, that was just one month ago and now we are at the next pay per view on the schedule, Bad Blood. The place where Davey Richards dreams are going to be shattered when I do what I said I was going to do and I will kick his teeth down his throat and I will leave him lying in this very ring in front of all of you and there is nothing no one can do about it. Let’s face facts here I have beat him once and I can beat him again. I have the greatest new talent of 2012 to come to XWL and while Davey has been fighting his way up through the roster through sweat and tears, I have been living the high life, getting the girls, getting wasted and being just too damn sleazy. I am what the future of this company is and I am a role model to all of you children. You all need to have a bit of Joey Ryan sleaze and I’m sure if you ask your mother she will know all about that, if you know what I’m sayin’.



Joey Ryan
Davey Richards can only dream to get to the heights Joey Ryan gets too. I am the man who makes an impact on this company and I am the man who is the man who is going to take this company by storm. As soon as I have made a bigger name for myself I am going to go and take this scene by storm. It’s not only the intercontinental title, if Wade can hold this title as well as the world heavyweight title then so can a man who is much better in the ring, on the mic and just in general the next generation superstar. People say my gimmick is old and I should have left it in the 70’s but the truth is that it works…I know it works, you all know it works and management know it works or else with just 3 weeks into my contract I wouldn’t have been offered the chance to fight for this very title around my waist.



Joey Ryan
Tonight you are all going to see just how much of a fighting champion I am. I look at Davey and I see a man who wants to be noticed. He wants this title because it is the only shot he will ever have at a title as prestigious as the intercontinental title. Right now this title is better than the world title because it dosen’t have some no name wrestler from south Africa as the champion. Lets all face facts if it wasn’t for Davey Richards holding me back and having to defend this title, I would be in a number one contenders match for his title and then I would be your world champion. But that’s the future, let’s talk about tonight and Daveys future for a moment shall we? Davey is a man who is on an ever failing hunt. I look at Davey and I see a man who is always going to be a loser, always.

Suddenly another theme hits the P.A and Joey stops in his tracks, he turns to the stage as the crowd jump to their feet cheering.



Davey Richards appears on stage and the fans cheering gets louder. The American Wolf starts to make his way towards the ring whilst handclapping with the fans. Davey then makes it to the ring and climbs the apron. Davey stares at Joey Ryan who has taken a step back, Davey then enters the ropes and puts his towel on the turnbuckle and asks for a mic from the ringside assistant. Davey gets the mic and then starts to talk.



Davey Richards
Joey, I thought I would come out here now and do something that these fans all want to do themselves and that is shut you up for good. Joey, you just talk and talk and talk but time for talk is over Joey. We haven't been in this same ring since 2 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago is like what is happening right now, you came out to the ring, you starting talking your crap, you run me down, you run anyone down who feel like running down, then what happened Joey?Can you refresh your memory?If not I will remind you, I came down here and I beat your ass, I shut you up but it was only for a moment. You escaped and you got away with that mouth of yours. Then you did something that I expect from you but you got away with it. That was you getting involved in my match. I had that match won, James Storm put on a great match but I felt that I had it. But you had to get involved and cost me that match.



Davey Richards
Then you decided to attack me, you decided to hit me with your championship belt. Last week, I was going to exact some revenge, I was going to kick your little ass around that ring and make sure you know what you was in for tonight at Bad Blood. But that never happened, I heard the match had been cancelled due to circumstances I never found out about. But Joey, you may have ducked me, you may have been the sneaky, sleazy bastard that you are but tonight, tonight will be very different, tonight we step into this ring one and one, with rules in place and that Intercontinental Championship on the line. I will be taking that title from you, I will become the new champion tonight. I didn't go through my battle with Rhino at Final Stand 4, I didn't go through my battle since I started here to stand in the background, to just become some nobody, I am going to the top and I am going to be a World Champion. But like you said thats the future, lets get to the present. The present is, me and you have a scheduled match later on, for the Intercontinental Championship, but I got an idea and my idea is quite simple, how about we don't wait, how about we go at it now.

Davey drops the mic, and goes to lunge towards Joey Ryan, but Joey was close enough to the ropes to escape in time. Joey starts to talk once more but a ref is already on his way and it looks like we are going to have this match right now.

The crowd go wild! Davey has done it! Davey has become the intercontinental champion! He drops to his knees in celebration as the crowd go crazy! He looks around as the fans are on their feet chanting for the new champion! Joey is still on the mat not sure as too what just happened as the ref quickly checks on him before getting the title and handing it to Davey. He stands up and raises the title high in the air as the davey chants begin to flood the arena. Joey sits up with his head in his hands realising he just lost what little power he had.

Davey heads to the top rope to celebrate as the camera looks on towards joey in the background. He smacks the mat in anger before getting to his feet and pushing the referee away. He quickly rushes over to Davey and throws him off the top rope….SUPERKICK! Davey falls to the mat and looks to be out cold as Joey looks on in anger. The crowd starts to boo but Joey is too angry and just looks to have snapped. He stamps away on the body of Davey before throwing him onto his belly and locking in the new submission move Joey recently debuted tonight…Davey’s face looks to be turning red as Joey keeps applying the pressure when suddenly….



AJ STYLES! The crowd give mixed reactions to the returning superstar as he rushes to the ring. Joey quickly lets go of the hold and jumps to his feet preparing for AJ to enter the ring. AJ quickly slides in and the two men begin exchanging blows in the center of the ring. The crowd quickly begin to get behind AJ as he looks to get the upper hand on Joey Ryan hitting several blows to the temple without response from Joey. Joey responds with a kick to the gut which drops AJ to one knee, Joey then turns around and runs at the ropes to gain momentum but AJ counters and hits a huge dropkick knocking Joey down…the crowd start getting behind AJ and a few cheers can be heard as he jumps to the top rope indicating a Styles clash! As he heads to the top rope though Joey rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope and quickly rushes up the ramp falling over on the stage. He stays there for a few moments to catch his breath as both men stare each other down as bad blood fades out to our next segment…

Ted DiBiase's theme blares throughout the arena sending the fans to their feet cheering.





After a few seconds he walks out from the back with a smile on his face as he looks out into the sold out arena taking in all of the energy the fans are giving off and getting pumped for what's to come.



[Michael Cole]
There he is ladies and gentlemen, the man that will meet Justin Gabriel in just a few minutes for the World Heavyweight Championship.

[JR]
Ted's got a huge opportunity tonight, and after two long years he could finally taste the sweet success of championship gold.

[King]
I'd hate to think of what would happen if he lost...There's only so many shortcomings a person can have!

[JR]
Well I'm sure losing is the furthest thing from his mind right now, King.


Ted stands at the top of the ramp motioning around his waist shouting out "Tonight, Posse, it's happening!"



He then begins to skip down the ramp running over to the barricade slapping the fans hands along the way.



Then his skipping continues as he reaches the bottom, and scurries over to the corner barricade where a large group of proud DiBiase Posse supporters have gathered and walks along the barricade touching hands with every single one of them.



He then leans back against the group with his arms out being patted on the back and getting numerous supportive remarks from the fans before dashing forward and landing knee up on the apron and stepping into the ring mounting the second rope continuing to play to the fans.

[Michael Cole]
Talk about a suck up..We get it, you "love" the fans.

[JR]
Why you gotta be so negative, Cole?

[King]
He's just a down to earth guy that loves and appreciates his fans for supporting him and helping him through the tough times, how exactly is he a "suck up?"

[Michael Cole]
I don't expect you guys to understand it anyways. I've always said he's nothing but a phony and when he loses tonight, and turns on the fans, that's when I'll be right, and you'll be the two old coots that couldn't see him for what he is!

Now dismounted off the second ropes, Ted's excitement shows no end as he continues to smile looking out into the crowd staring at their many signs for him.




But his view quickly turns to the stage as Justin Gabriel's theme hits garnering a reaction equal to the one that Ted had just received.




Quickly he jumps out from behind the curtain with the World Heavyweight Championship strapped around his waist.



[JR]
There's our champion now, the man that will defend his World Heavyweight Championship against a long time friend in our main-event of the evening.

[Michael Cole]
He trumped Wade Barrett in the main-event of our fourth anniversary of Final Stand, winning the big one after a long journey, and tonight he'll be defending that title for the first time, against Ted, who had to beat Edge in a number one contenders match four weeks ago to earn this opportunity.

[King]
He's a bright young man for sure, and Ted's got a tough obstacle to overcome in Justin Gabriel. A South African dynamo, and his kicks are almost as lethal as his devastating 450 splash.


Gabriel makes his way down the ramp slapping hands of the fans along the barricade before jumping up on the apron and staring his challenger in the ring.



He then jumps over the ropes and onto the second rope from the apron before removing his title from his waist, and staring as it's held in his hand.




Justin then removes his shirt tossing it into the crowd, and jumps off the ropes and onto the mat before sharing a friendly stare with Ted as Lillian steps forward for the formal introductions as the bell sounds.

[Lillian Garcia]
The following match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship!!!

The fans let out a pop of excitement as Lillian waits for them to quieten before continuing.

[Lillian Garcia]
Introducing first, the challenger, weighing in at 214 pounds, from Madison Mississippi, Ted DiBiase!!

He throws out his arms with his fists clinched ready to go as the fans continue to cheer.

[Lillian Garcia]
And his opponent, he is the current reigning and defending World Heavyweight Champion!! Weighing in at 213 pounds, from Cape Town South Africa, Justin Gabriel!!

Justin holds his World title up in the air to another loud pop before handing his belt over to the referee as Lillian exits the ring. The referee then places it in between his hands and holds it up in the air for all to see.



[JR]
That's what it's all about folks.

[Michael Cole]
The World Heavyweight Championship, held by only the best, and now these two are set to do battle to determine which one of them is the best.

[King]
Will Ted finally strike gold, or will Justin Gabriel fly like no other to keep hold of the biggest prize in this industry.

[JR]
I honestly don't know who to pick for this match, Justin's done a fine job as World Heavyweight Champion, and I'm sure Ted would too.



Normal Match

World Heavyweight Championship




Ted DiBiase Vs Justin Gabriel (C)




The bell sounds and right away the fans are split in their reactions, a dueling "Let's go Ted!" "Let's go Gabriel!" chant kicks off the beginning of this match as both Justin and Ted express their appreciation for the fan's support with a smiling nod, before turning towards one another extending their hands and sharing a sportsmanlike handshake before backing away, the chants still quite loudly echoing throughout the arena.

[JR]
Ladies and gentlemen take your seats now, because we're about to wittness a classic between two best friends fighting for possession of the biggest prize in this industry!

[Michael Cole]
I'm no fan of either man, but I have to agree it should definitely be quite the match, these two men aren't stranger by any means, they've teamed together, teamed against each other, face off against one another before, everything they could have done, they have, and tonight, they add main-eventing a pay-per-view for the World Heavyweight Championship to that list as well.

[King]
The emotion is high in this arena for these two young, talented fan favorites here tonight. I'm glad we get to call this match, because no doubt, with Ted's heart, and Gabriel's unbelievable high risk style, we're in for a treat!



Ted and Gabriel pace around the ring for a second, each slowly getting closer to one another until finally they tie up for the first time in this match, Ted seems to be overpowering him at the start, beginning to push him into the ropes, but he quickly breaks throwing his hands up in the air and backs up as Gabriel rethinks his opposition. After a brief glance shared between the two, they once more close in on one another, and as Ted tries to lock up with him, Gabriel ducks and quickly applies a side head lock, to which DiBiase responds by shoving him off sending him bouncing off the ropes, and as he comes back around he drops down to the mat as Gabriel jumps over him gaining momentum off the other side of the ropes, but Ted jumps back to his feet leapfrogging over him upon the rebound, then as Gabriel tries to bounce off a third time, Ted catches his arm and brings him down to the mat with an armbar and begins to apply pressure, but Justin with some quick thinking wraps his legs around Ted's head, freeing himself and now trapping Ted in the process. As Gabriel's legs are tightly placed around Ted, he struggles for a second before firmly planting his feet on the mat, and uses his strength to pull Gabriel up off the mat in almost a wheel barrow position, but before he can go for anything, a quick shift of the weight from the World Champion sends Ted down to the mat and trapped in a tricky pinning predicament.


1.....



But Ted turns the pin around on Gabriel.



1..........



Now Gabriel responds by turning it back around on DiBiase.




1...........





But Ted once again manages to turn it into his favor trapping Gabriel's shoulders on the mat.



1...............




Justin quickly frees himself off the mat bouncing to his feet, and Ted rising to his as well before the two look at one with just a grin on both their faces and a friendly nod almost as if they were saying "nice one" without actually saying the words.

[King]
Their styles in the ring may be differ from the other, but these two are evenly matched and the fans are loving every second of it!

[JR]
It's a nice change of pace, usually we've got bitter rivals colliding in our main-events, but to just see two friends having a good time and a fair match up so far is just great. You can tell they respect the other and I admire that from these two young men.

[Michael Cole]
Of course things are bound to change as the match rolls on, it may be all fun and lovey dovey right now but there's no way it'll last! It's wrestling for crying out loud! You're supposed to punch each other, not hold each others hands and skip through fields of flowers!


They lock eyes once more, before tying up with each desperately wanting to get in control of the other, Ted manages to gain control and shifts into a front head lock before throwing Gabriel's arm over his shoulder, with a suplex in mind, but as he lifts him up off the mat and straight up into the air, Gabriel thrusts his knee down onto the top of DiBiase's cranium, breaking free of the hold and landing safely on his feet, before leveling his friend with a swift wheel kick! He then hooks Ted's leg going for a quick cover...



1........




But just as the referee's hand is about to strike the mat a second time, Ted's shoulder pops off the mat.




Gabriel rises to his feet waiting for Ted to as well, then when he does he delivers several forearm shots to the jaw, before whipping him into the ropes, awaits him to rebound, and when he does leapfrogs above him, Ted goes bouncing off the next set of ropes, then as he comes back around, Gabriel attempts to hook his arm for perhaps an armdrag, but DiBiase hooks hold of his arm instead taking him down with an armdrag of his own before hooking his leg and covering him with a unique pinning combination.


1...........




But Justin grabs hold of Ted's arms pulling his shoulder down onto the mat with a crucifix style cover.




1..............




Ted presses his shoulder off the mat breaking free, then before Gabriel can gain control, he applies a quick oklahoma roll up trapping Gabriel down for a pin attempt.


1..................


Just pops his shoulder off the mat breaking free of the pin attempt by the challenger.


[JR]
These two are still quite even, but things are bound to change as this match progresses on.

[Michael Cole]
Talk about stating the obvious...

[King]
Why so grumpy, Cole?

[Michael Cole]
Because I'm out here to see the main-event of Bad Blood, not a play date!



Ted & Justin circle the ring again, figuring out which is the best option of offense for gaining the much needed control of this match. They then charge forward locking up once more, Ted tries to push Gabriel down trying to over power him, but Justin pushes back with just as much strength, the fans motivate the two through cheers and loud clapping as both try to find an opening to turn this even match into their favor. Gabriel positions his foot behind Ted's trying to trip him up, and succeeds as Ted's pushed down and dropped to his knees. While DiBiase is in a vulnerable position Gabriel pushes down on his arms before delivering a combination of kicks right to the chest. Ted winces in pain from the direct shots but then as Gabriel tries another kick, Ted seems to get fired up and pushes back up to his feet and pushes Gabriel down now in the same position he just was in and begins to instantly thrust his knee forward right into Gabriel's chest mirrioring the offense Gabriel had just used against him. As Gabriel's hit with several hard shots to the chest, he takes advantage of Ted not being stable on two feet and pulls his arms back sending Ted over head and shoulders down against the mat but also causing his own to be planted down as well as their hands remain hooked. The referee notices this and quickly begins to count the double pin.



1..........




2.....



Quickly they bridge off the mat breaking the count just as the referee had counted two.


Still hooked together they use their positioning to pull themselves up off of the mat and up to their feet with their hands still pressed together, Ted tries to use his arm strength to pull Gabriel down into a backslide, but instead Gabriel rolls over Ted's back breaking the hold finally with a lifting knee strike to his jaw, then as Ted swings for a clothesline, Gabriel ducks under his arm, gaining momentum off the set of ropes then connects with a drop kick to Ted, who gets back up to his feet a second later only to be taken down with a second drop kick, Gabriel then Irish whips Ted into the corner before charging as fast as he can grazing Ted with a cross body through the ropes dropping him down to his knees while Gabriel's now positioned on the apron with a springboard in mind. Ted gets back up to his feet, staggers around until he's now facing Gabriel who springs off the top of the ropes gaining some serious air time, but Ted sees it coming in time to counter and jumps off the mat catching him in mid air with a drop kick!

[Michael Cole]
High risk did not pay off right there for Justin Gabriel.

[JR]
What a counter that was!

[King]
I'll say!


Excited and on their feet, the fans let out a loud "Ohhhh!" as Gabriel crashes to the mat with the wind knocked out of him from that hard midair collision. Ted slowly walks over to Gabriel staggering, he tries to pull him up by his head, but Justin responds with a slight jawbreaker momentarily stunning Ted, he gets back up to his feet trying to figure out his next move, but before he can Ted recovers and swings for a quick punch, but Gabriel blocks it by putting his elbow in the way of the oncoming strike, then connects with a series of kicks to the legs and then the chest, he then jumps up spinning back for a knockout kick, but Ted catches his foot catching Justin off guard. He holds his foot shaking his head then swings for a close clothesline, but Gabriel ducks it, then uses his free foot to nail DiBiase with an enzuigiri to the back of the head. Ted falls face first to the mat, he seems to be knocked out and Gabriel wastes no time in rolling him over onto his back and hooking the leg hoping this might be it...

2.................



But Ted pops his shoulder off the canvas staying alive in this championship match.



Gabriel tries to keep his cool after such a close nearfall, he pulls Ted up slowly, connects with a forearm strike, then swings for a second, but Ted ducks it then nails a fast right hand! The fans cheer following the blow, Ted tries another but Gabriel blocks it landing a forearm shot to the face, with the cheers continuing, he attempts to follow up with yet another, but Ted blocks it, then lands a punch but as he goes for another, Gabriel evades it and responds with another forearm, this continues for about five more times before DiBiase connects with a hard right hand punch, and then another, and another, Ted then grabs hold of his wrist and whips him into the corner, he charges leaping off the canvas for a huge forearm shot, but Gabriel raises his boot up just as Ted was about to make impact sending his foot right into the jaw of his friend, then he falls sideways down to one knee, but that doesn't keep him down and he comes charging once more, only to be knocked right in the jaw by Gabriel's extended elbow. He falls to the mat on his hands and knees shaken from the shot, while Gabriel pulls himself up onto the top rope motioning for Ted to get up. It takes him a few seconds, he slowly makes it up to his feet, then turns around staggering about until he's facing Gabriel' who leaps off the top rope with a hurricanrana in mind, just as he's about to take him down with the aerial maneuver Ted catches him, and in one fluid motion slams him down with his signature side step sit out spinebuster! An immediate cover follows with the referee quickly rushing to count the pin.

But this time Justin's the one to fly his shoulder up off the mat.



[Michael Cole]
That was close!

[King]
It sure was! These two have been struggling to keep control thus far, they just know each other too well to fall for any of their usual tricks.

[JR]
A very true observation, King. Gabriel can't seem to go high risk with Ted coming up with some type of counter turning the tide into his favor. And likewise for Ted DiBiase, he just can't keep Justin Gabriel down for long to do any real damage.


Fans let out cheers of excitement as this title match is far from over. The two both get up to their feet at about the same time, Ted takes the control by whipping Gabriel into the ropes, he bounces off them coming back around to Ted, who bends down perhaps planning a back toss, but instead of that happening, Gabriel rolls over the back of Ted landing behind him, and when he turns around Justin nearly kicks his head off with a spinning heel kick! Ted drops the mat out of commission for the moment, giving Gabriel the confidence he needs to go for yet another attempt at showcasing his high flying high risk style. Justin walks over to the ropes, then looks back at Ted making sure he's still laid out in the prone position he left him in, then jumps off the mat landing on the top ropes and springboards off them with a beautiful moonsault! He then goes for the cover by hooking both legs this time...


1.......



2...........



But somehow Ted finds the strength to continue on and gets his shoulder up.




Justin then pulls Ted by his arm up off the mat and lays into him with a series of elbow shots, then Irish whips him into the ropes with something in mind, but Ted manages to stop at the ropes with his arms gripping them tightly to halt the momentum. Justin runs right towards him, only for Ted to toss him over head and he uses his athleticism to land both feet on the apron. Ted swings for a punch, but Gabriel ducks it, then pushes through the ropes with a shoulder thrust right into his ribs, attempts to hold the ropes for a springboard but Ted recovers fast pushes all his weight onto the ropes causing his friend to buckle from position and land ribs first and hung over the top rope ripe for the picking now. Ted then grabs hold of his head pulling him off the ropes and back into the ring before dropping him down with a hangman style neckbreaker. But instead of going for the cover Ted raises his fist up to his chest in tribute of his father and connects with a falling fist drop to Justin Gabriel. Then rises back up to deliver a second one mirroring the first one's exact motion. He raises his fist up for a third time gaining a big pop from the crowd, but as he teases a third fist drop, he suddenly stops, and raises his finger up, it appears he's hatched an idea. And we soon find out just what the wheels in his head are turning for as he backs up against the nearest corner and begins to climb backwards up onto the top rope where once he reaches the top he holds his fist outward and jumps off for another falling fist drop, this one with much more power behind it, but Justin manages to roll out of the way just in time and Ted's fist meets the hard mat where instantly he lets out a loud sound of anguish as he holds his hand in pain.


[JR]
Oh that's not good...Ted could've just broken his hand right there!

[Michael Cole]
Serves him right if he did! Mocking Gabriel by going high risk? For shame Ted, for shame!

[King]
You'll just come up with any old reason to bash Ted won't you?

[JR]
He obviously wasn't mocking anyone, he just wanted to put a little more power behind his father's signature move, but it didn't quite work out like he had hoped.

[Michael Cole]
Whatever, that little stunt could've just cost him his chance at the World Heavyweight Championship.

[King]
You might be right, but there's still time for either man to do what it takes to walk away victorious tonight.




DiBiase stumbles up to his feet still holding his hand, he falls back against the ropes trying to fight through the pain, but shaking off the concern for his friend, Justin charges at him with a clothesline over the ropes, but Ted manages to use his good hand to hang onto them and stick the landing on the apron. Justin swings for a forearm but Ted ducks it then wraps his arm around Gabriel's head with a devastating suplex to the outside in mind, but Justin fights it landing back onto this feet, before trying to suplex Ted back into the ring, but just like Justin did, he holds his ground. DiBiase tries for it once more, this time succeeding in pulling him up into the air, he stalls position trying to follow through with the suplex all the way to the outside, but instead Gabriel manages to shift his weight in mid air breaking free of Ted's hold over him and landing on the apron right beside him. They both take a breather for a second before turning to the other and enthralling the audience in attendance by breaking out into a battle of fists! Firing away at each other the two stagger backwards with each impending blow before swinging away at the other with a fury. Ted's oncoming shot gets caught by Gabriel, who shoves him back, Ted comes running right at him, only for Justin to nail him square in the jaw with a super kick with the impact sending him flying right off the apron and crashing to the floor below!


[JR]
Bah gawd, he damn near kicked his head off!

[King]
I can't believe it, JR! That was amazing!

[Michael Cole]
How didn't Ted see that coming? And he expects to actually be World Heavyweight Champion one day? Well it's quite evident that won't be tonight.


Instead of dismounting off the apron and following up on that sickening strike to the challenger for his title, he remains positioned in the middle of the apron with his hands clasped on the top rope looking back at Ted making sure he's not moving. Then as the fans rise up to their feet prepared to witness something amazing by the World Heavyweight Champion, he jumps up landing both feet on the top of the ropes, before springboarding back with an asia moonsault! But as he closes in slowly descending down, Ted jumps up to his feet catching him across his shoulder then drops down to his knees with a hard gut buster! Gabriel collapses to the floor holding his stomach with both hands rolling around while Ted makes his way back up to an up right position holding his face still feeling the effects of that superkick just a minute ago. The referee yells out to Ted to bring him back in the ring, but he's too busy stretching his jaw out and making sure he didn't loose any teeth so he begins to count...


1.....


Ted shakes off the effects then grabs Gabriel by his hand slowly pulling him up..


2.....


As he pulls him up to eye level, Gabriel nails him with a hard elbow right into the jaw that's already hurting him, which causes Ted to get a little annoyed and charges forward sending Gabriel back first into the hard announce table!


3.......

A loud thud from the table follows as Gabriel falls back against the table holding his back, while Ted continues to favor his jaw.


4.......

[Michael Cole]
Well so much for having a “million dollar jaw.”

[JR]
Gabriel's kicks look to have done some real damage to Ted as far as his face is concerned.

[King]
And he does them so well too! These two better get back in the ring though the referee's count is getting closer to counting them out.


5.....


Ted walks over to the ropes before rolling under them and back into the ring to break the count, but as he tries to exit out to retrieve Justin, the referee gets in his way ordering him to go in the corner and allow him to do his job. Ted tries to explain he's just trying to bring him back in but the referee's persistence wins and Ted backs up reluctantly.


6.....



The fans are cheering Gabriel on, while he continues try to make it up to his feet, but the referee's showing no remorse and proceeds onward with his count.


7......



Ted impatiently waits in the far side of the ring, looking out into the crowd and trying to to make sure this match doesn't end in count out, but finally his impatience gets the better of him and he raises his finger up pointing to the outside before shaking his fist as the fans cheer on knowing what he's about to do, that's when he runs against the ropes nearby, bouncing off and flying with tremendous momentum gained then shouts out “you better move!” as the referee turns around barely avoiding the running Ted who flies through the ropes and connects with a suicide dive to Justin Gabriel! A huge pop from the excited fans in attendance can be heard as Ted bangs his fist against the announce table fired up by that move as much as the fans.

[JR]
What a move by DiBiase!

[Michael Cole]
He just caused my soda to spill in my lap! These are new pants!

[King]
Oh who cares about your stupid pants, Cole! This match is picking up and I'm loving it!

[Michael Cole]
Who cares? I care! Do you know how much these cost? They were specially made!

[JR]
Oh brother...

[Michael Cole]
Just because you guys shop at your local thrift store doesn't mean that others don't like to actually look good! Nice shirt, King, honestly, am I the only one that actually looks and fits the part of a commentator?

[King]
You're ranting about your pants, Cole...Put a little tide on it when you get back to the hotel, you'll live.

[Michael Cole]
Oh, and what's that supposed to mean, huh? I'll have you know that I'm a very busy person, you might have all the time in the world because no one actually cares about you, but as for me, I have personal meetings that I have to attend every day. That's how important I am, do you guys have personal meetings with Vickie Guerrero? That's right, you don't!

[King]
So that's why you still have a job!

[JR]
Let's just get back to calling the match you two.

[Michael Cole]
Yeah, King, try doing your job for once.


The referee's count is at a firm three now, he orders Ted to bring him back in the ring, Ted tries to pull Gabriel over to the apron to bring him back in, but Gabriel fights free landing a swift back kick to the gut, then as Ted hunches over holding his stomach, Justin drops an elbow across his neck before returning the favor from earlier and Irish whipping him hard into the announce table. Ted winces in pain leaned up against the table, while Gabriel slides into the ring to break the five count then before the referee can order Gabriel away like he did Ted, he grips the ropes before leaping over them in a corkscrew spin landing right on a standing Ted DiBiase with a placha! He plays to the crowd, pumped by their cheers then looks at Michael Cole whom is still obsessing over the spilled soda on his pants, and then rips off the announce table covering before chucking it aside and removing all the monitors and throwing them to the floor as well as he has no use for any of those he just has an idea in mind and it has to do with this table. Ted's seen gripping the ring apron skirt trying to pull himself up, but Justin grabs hold of him by the back of his neck and carries him over to the table, he tries to fight it but Gabriel lands a series of elbow shots to the face dazing him and making it easy for Justin to lay him on top of the announcer's table with JR, King, and lastly Cole scattering out of the way with their headsets still attached.

[JR]
We better stay out of the way if we don't want to get caught in the crossfire of this World Heavyweight Championship match!

[Michael Cole]
Have neither of these men any respect for our personal space?

[King]
Pipe down, Cole!

Going crazy with excitement, the crowd begins to chant Justin Gabriel's name at a loud pitch as Ted lay helpless on the announce table ripe for the picking. Justin mounts up onto the apron, then hesitating not wanting this to go like his first attempt, he takes a deep breath, then jumps up with great height landing both feet on the ropes bouncing off them and backwards with a springboard asia moonsault landing right on target and through the table! Immediately a “That was awsesome!” chant breaks out as the fans express their appreciation for Justin's high risk style.

[Michael Cole]
That's all she wrote folks!

[King]
That was unbelievable! Justin risked it all and it paid off!

[JR]
But he better get him back in the ring, he can't pin him out here!

The loud chant continues with clapping following each time it's chanted, Justin holds his ribs having done quite a bit of damage to himself with that stunt, but he pushes through it and pulls Ted up applying him in a side head lock dragging his almost lifeless body over to the apron and rolling him back in the ring before sliding back in himself. Ted back against the mat, seemingly out of it, and Justin covers hooking a single leg as he hopes that he's done enough to retain his title right here....The referee rushes down level with the pin and begins to count...


1.......




2.............









But just as his hand was about to strike the mat a third time, Ted's shoulder pops off the canvas and immediately a look of utter disbelief shows on the face of the champion.

[JR]
That kid has heart no denying that.

[King]
I can't believe he kicked out!

[Michael Cole]
Judging by the look on Gabriel's face, neither can he.


Trying to figuring out what he needs to do to put away his friend, Justin slowly pulls Ted up to eye level before whipping him into the corner. He then takes off after him walking over to the corner and lifting him up onto the top of the turnbuckle before climbing up to the second rope laying in a series of forearm shots to keep his control, then the fans scream out cheering as Justin jumps up onto Ted's shoulders attempting a super hurricanrana, but Ted manages to come to and keeps hold over Gabriel almost in a powerbomb position, and still in no man's land, before he can try anything though, Justin fires away in desperation with punches right to the temple fighting with all he's got not to let this get turned around on him, and after the fifth shot, Ted's fight weakens giving Gabriel the chance he needs to turn it back around in his favor by sending DiBiase crashing all the way to the canvas with a hurricanrana! The impact could be heard all over the arena and immediately Justin kneels down on his hands and knees taking a much needed breather. Then he rolls under the ropes onto the apron, as Ted slowly turns on his back holding it pain, while Gabriel begins to mount up onto the corner eventually reaching the top just staring down at Ted with the fans going wild for what they know is coming next...

[JR]
Justin's looking to end it here!

[King]
But will he be successful?

[Michael Cole]
How about you shut up and let us actually concentrate on the match to find out for ourselves?


Justin then takes a deep breath, prepares to take flight, but Ted pops up to his feet and runs right at him, Justin sees him coming and tries to change his position but he's not quick enough and Ted lands a hard right hook, then grips him by his trunks and sends him forward crashing back first against the hard canvas!


[JR]
Oh that had to hurt.

[Michael Cole]
That's what happens when you take too long.

[King]
Perhaps it was hesitation because he knows how much Ted wants this?

[JR]
A fair point indeed, he's also gotta be exhausted so that plays a role in being slower than usual.


As Gabriel continues to feel the effects of his back meeting the mat, Ted throws out his arms yelling out to the crowd signaling he's going for the end, they respond with loud cheers and as Justin slowly begins to rise up, Ted quickly hooks him from behind locking him in the million dollar dream! He struggles, letting out agonizing screams not wanting this to be the end, Ted then applies the pressure even more, before hooking his foot behind Gabriel and sending him down to the mat with the Dream Crusher! But instead of letting go of his hold, he keeps applying the pressure before using his grip to turn Justin over onto his stomach and and then bends him backwards increasing the pain of this unique modification of his father's famous submission hold.


[JR]
Bah gawd he's nearly breaking him in half!

[King]
What a submission!

[Michael Cole]
Justin needs to find a way to get to the ropes or he's done for!


The pain increasing which each passing second, Ted continues to pull him backwards while Justin claws the mat with his one free hand trying with everything he has to not tap out and somehow make it to the ropes. Knelt down to one knee, the referee asks Justin if he wants to give up but immediately a loud “No!” can be heard and this causes Ted to pull harder with Justin's arm lifting into the air, the fans begin to clap and stomp trying to give Justin the strength to fight free and stay in this match. Seconds pass and the referee once more asks Gabriel if he'd like to give up but he refuses to, being World Heavyweight Champion means too much to him to give up now. Frustration is on the face of Ted DiBiase, as Justin's will is stronger than he perhaps thought, and that becomes clearer when Justin begins to use his free hand to claw the mat trying to pull himself closer to the ropes, Ted tries to keep him in the middle of the ring but Justin begins to use his leg strength and his only free hand to get closer and closer to the ropes reaching out just finger tips away, the hold begins to take effect though, he begins to fade slowly, his arm dropping downwards to the mat but then suddenly he uses his last bit of strength to reach for them one last time....And successfully hands his hand on the ropes gripping them and now forcing Ted to break his hold. The referee tells Ted to do so, he shows extreme frustration not wanting to, but let's go after the referee counts one and backs off covering his face with his hands.

[JR]
Justin Gabriel's really impressing me right here, I thought he was done for.

[King]
Who would've thought these two would have such a highly competitive exciting match? I can't tell who's gonna win at this point!

[Michael Cole]
Ted better focus, just standing there with his hands over his face isn't going to win him the World title.


Sliding his cupped hands down his face, he takes a deep breath before sighing and walking over to Justin trying to pull him off the mat, but suddenly Gabriel traps him in a small package!


1.....







2........






But Ted breaks free just before the three.


Popping back up on his feet following that close near fall, Ted runs at Justin only to be nailed in the gut with a fury of punches fighting to get back in control, then runs off the ropes near him bouncing off and connecting with an elbow smash, then Ted pops back up and gets hit with a second one, Gabriel then grabs his arm going for a whip into the ropes, but Ted stops in his tracks chopping his hand away from his arm before kicking him right in the gut, then hooks him from the side with a head lock, Gabriel pushes them both off the ropes bouncing off them and freeing himself from the hold, Ted rebounds off the opposing ropes coming back around to Justin who spins landing a discus elbow right on target, this stops him right in his tracks before being caught with a swift leg sweep sending him down to the mat. But Ted gets up just seconds later staggering around, Justin attempts to whip him into the ropes, but Ted turns it around on him sending him into the ropes instead, then quickly follows him bouncing off them just as Gabriel had, but as Justin turns around Ted throws his arm out for that devastating rebound clothesline he's done many of times, but he ducks the clothesline, and catches him with an STO! Immediately his attention turns to the corner as he makes his way over there and begins to climb up onto the top rope. He looks down at Ted then dives off with a picture perfect 450 splash! Justin holds his ribs in pain for a moment before hooking the leg.


1......







2........
































But somehow, some way Ted kicks out!


[JR]
I thought that was it!


[Michael Cole]
Ted DiBiase kicked out of Justin Gabriel's 450 splash, and now he's gotta be wondering what he could possibly do next to keep his friend down and retain his title.


[King]
Ted really wants this, you can tell he's in pain, but he wants this!



Justin doesn't let the disappointment get to him, instead he starts to pull Ted up to his feet, tosses him into the corner, then charges at him with his elbow cocked outward, but as his feet leave the mat, Ted jumps out of the way and Gabriel has a light collision with the turnbuckle. He holds his arm for a second shaking it making sure it's okay but that's when suddenly Ted hooks him from behind in a fluid fast motion slamming him down with Dream Street!

[Michael Cole]
Dream Street! Ted DiBiase hit Dream Street!

[King]
It's gotta be over! Ted's finally done it!

[JR]
That came out of nowhere!




The fans are shocked, has he finally done it? Is he finally going to become World Heavyweight Champion?! He covers tightly holing the leg....





1.....








2...........

































No! Justin pops his shoulder up off the canvas sending the fans into a state of shock, and Ted looks as if he's seen a ghost, in utter disbelief that Gabriel kicked out. He asks the referee if he's sure, but he shows him it was just a two count and right away Ted isn't sure of what he can do now. The doubt is setting in, will this end up like all his other chances in the past two years? Is this going to be another close, but no cigar moment? You can tell it's all flashing through his head, so much so that he's almost frozen breathing heavily as they're both clearly exhausted but neither man will give up.


[JR]
I'm amazed, these two athletes are giving it their all, and taking it all!

[Michael Cole]
I'll admit, I'm a bit surprised as well, I didn't think this match would be so intense.

[King]
So much for a snooze fest, eh Cole?



Instead of going after Justin, he grabs his hand helping him up, patting him on the back letting out a smile, showing his appreciation for giving him a hell of a match so far, then backs off letting him get his bearings. The two hold their injuries then stare at one another, they know this match can't go much longer, and so they quickly slaps hands before backing off again and locking up. It's much different from their earlier tie ups, they're much weaker and in more pain but after a couple seconds of struggling to get in control, Justin spins around applying a side head lock, wrenching the hold for a second, before Ted shoves him off, but he quickly runs back to him, only for Ted to toss him up in the air for a back body drop, but Justin manages to land on his feet! Gabriel runs off the ropes, Ted quickly follows in high pursuit behind him and when Justin turns around he's turned inside out with a sickening clothesline! The momentum he gained from that sends him into the other side of the ropes, he grips them breathing heavily still, before turning around and calling out to the crowd signaling for another attempt of Dream Street! Justin slowly gets up on his hands and knees, and that's when Ted hooks him from behind in the Million Dollar Dream clutch, but instead of being able to lift him up, Justin throws Ted forward over head, then as he turns around right away he's hit square in the jaw with a teeth shattering super kick!

[King]
I think this is it!

[Michael Cole]
I think you might be right, King.

[JR]
Ted is knocked out, this has to be it!

[King]
That kick came out of nowhere!


Justin then staggers his way over the ropes, stepping out onto the apron, before walking over to the nearest corner post, looking out into the cheering crowd knowing what's coming next, as he begins to make his way up onto the top rope. He stands on the top, takes a deep breath, then dives off for the 450 splash! Fans stand up knowing this has to be it, they look up seeing the beautiful execution and their eyes drift down as he loses elevation approaching the mat, but Ted rolls out of the way and Justin eats the mat! DiBiase hooks him quickly from behind, lifting him up high in the air before slamming him down with a huge Dream Street!



1......







2.............























3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




[King]
It's over!


[JR]
He won! Bah gawd, I can't believe it!

[Michael Cole]
Te....Ted.....He's...Wo....World.....

[King]
He's World Heavyweight Champion!







Ted DiBiase's theme blasts through the arena as the audience explodes with excitement, saddened over Justin's loss, but excited at the fact that Ted's finally won the World Heavyweight Championship!


[King]
Would you just listen to this crowd!

[JR]
They just witnessed an unbelievable match and a crowning of a first time champion!

[Michael Cole]
This has gotta be a bad dream...I'll pinch myself and wake up in my warm comfy bed.

[King]
It's no dream, Cole!

[Michael Cole]
But it's gotta be! Ted can't be World Champion! He's nothing but a failure, that's all he's even been!

[JR]
Maybe in your mind, but as of tonight, he's now known as World Heavyweight Champion!


Stricken by emotion, Ted remains on his hands and knees, almost as if he can't believe that he's actually done it! And it soon becomes even more real as the referee places his hand on his shoulder, and he turns around to see him holding out the World Heavyweight Championship for him to take. He stares at it for a moment, the object of which he's been fighting for years to finally achieve, now finally his! He then takes it into his hands, staring down at it, before pulling himself up to his feet with his title held high and the referee holding his arm up as the tremendous reception continues with a loud pop of cheers at the sight of him raising his prize.



[Lillian Garcia]
The winner of this match, and the NEW World Heavyweight Champion!! Ted DiBiase!!

Continuing his celebration, Ted mounts the middle turnbuckle shouting “I finally did it!” as Gabriel is on the bottom turnbuckle behind him, with a look of disappointment because he lost the Championship he worked so hard to gain. The cameras quickly cut to a room backstage where Michael McGillicutty is sitting in a chair, with a hand-held camera in one hand and his Money in the Bank briefcase in the other, watching the events that just transpired. He appears on the Titantron and begins talking to the newly crowned World Champion.

[JR]
What the...

{McGillicutty}
The moment of truth is upon us. After the night is over, these ingrates known as the XWL Universe will no longer have to put up with mediocre champions, no-talented buffoons, and less than stellar performances in that ring. The dawn of a new age is upon us and it will be rightfully known as The Genesis of McGillicutty.

[Michael Cole]
Yes!!

Michael rises from his seat and exits the room. He begins walking down a deserted corridor, where his words echo in the silence.

{McGillicutty}
Ted, you finally did what you wanted to do, you finally won the World Heavyweight Championship. Only took you two years. It's a damn shame that all your hard work and all your perseverance will be for nothing. I will put your little celebration to an end, just like I will do to your reign as champion in a few moments. How sweet it is to finally extract my revenge for you costing me the X-treme Championship many months ago and what better way to do it than to take the World Championship from your grasp.

[King]
Michael McGillicutty's cashing in?!

[JR]
It appears so, King!

Michael walks through the open double doors in front of him and enters a somewhat crowded corridor with various superstars and divas. He begins to speak yet again, only this time, he has an audience of his peers looking at him with their judging eyes.

{McGillicutty}
Mitch, it's quite obvious you were the anchor holding me down and now my career will skyrocket faster than the obesity in the US of A. While it's true that Mitch was there since the beginning of my career, he was also here to hold me back from my true potential. For almost seven months, I've been held back, it ends tonight. I will become the new World Heavyweight Championship and there's not a damn thing Mitch, Justin Gabriel, nor Ted DiBiase can do about it.

[Michael Cole]
I love it! Kiss that title good bye, Ted! We're about to crown a real champion!

Michael walks past the judging eyes of the superstars and divas, who are left murmuring to each other about a possible new World Champion. Michael walks towards the Gorilla Position for the second time in the evening, with his confidence and ego at an all time high. Ted's shown holding his World title tightly against his chest preparing himself for the cash in attempt against Michael with Justin standing beside him bracing himself to follow through with his word at making sure McGillicutty doesn't steal this moment from them.



Michael's theme plays throughout the arena to a chorus of boos as the moment of truth has arrived. Michael emerges from the back and makes his way onto the stage. He stares a hole through both Ted and Gabriel before walking towards the ring.

[JR]
I can't believe it! Ted just won the title, and he could already lose it! They're both exhausted, they're physically spent, I hate to say it...But I think Michael's plan is going to go off without a hitch...

[King]
It's a terrible moment for Ted DiBiase right now, Michael McGillicutty has the power to steal the title away from him after a two year long fight to achieve it!

He makes it to the bottom of the ramp and looks at both men in the ring, who are ready for the impending cash in attempt. Michael quickly slides in and ducks a superkick by Gabriel then blocks a clothesline from Ted by using the briefcase as a shield. Ted holds his arm in pain as Michael spins around and levels Gabriel with a briefcase shot to the head. He turns back around and does the same to Ted.

[JR]
Not like this, dammit! Not like this!

[Michael Cole]
I love it! He's going to go down in history with the shortest World Heavyweight Championship reign! I told you all he was nothing but a failure, and after tonight he'll never be able to show his face in XWL ever again!


To the surprise of many, Michael is the only man left standing. The live audience in attendance boos him but it doesn't phase him. He looks down at the lifeless bodies for a few seconds before shifting his attention to the World Heavyweight Championship a mere few feet away from him. He walks over to it and picks it up. With now both the World Championship and the Money in the Bank briefcase in his hands, you've got to believe it's the perfect opportunity for a cash in. Michael looks at the championship for a few seconds before looking at his briefcase, and the realization sets in as a sinister smile graces his face.

[King]
It's actually happening...I just...I can't believe after all of his hard work, after everything he's been through, just for Michael McGillicutty to steal it all away?!

[JR]
What once was a night of celebration, has quickly turned to one of great despair...

[Michael Cole]
Lighten up already!

[King]
Just because you don't like him for whatever reason, doesn't mean that he deserves this!

[Michael Cole]
Boo hoo, Michael said he'd do it, and so he only has himself to blame for not taking him seriously! He never has, and after tonight, when Michael's got his title, he'll never underestimate him ever again, I guarantee you that.


He calls for a ref since the ref that was in charge of the match that just took place conveniently left. Many moments pass and there is no ref in sight. Both Ted and Gabriel begin to show life as the crowd cheers them on. Gabriel is the first to his feet and ducks an incoming attack from Michael and perfectly gets setup for a Dream Street from Ted but as he's falling towards to mat, Michael gets hit by a teeth-shattering superkick from Justin Gabriel.

[Michael Cole]
What the?! That's not fair! What business does Justin have in this?! Absolutely no business what so ever! How dare he! You lost your title buddy, get lost already!

[JR]
What a combo!

[King]
That was incredible!

[Michael Cole]
Incredible? The only reason Ted's escaping with the title now is because Justin Gabriel didn't but out! This didn't concern him! He had his match and he lost, this was Michael's time, and he ruined it!

[JR]
To be fair, going by your logic, Justin said if Michael tried to cash in on them they'd have each other's backs and thwart his attempt, and so again, going by your way of thinking, Michael's the one to blame for not taking them seriously.

[Michael Cole]
Oh shut up, JR!

Gabriel slowly scales the nearest turnbuckle, still showing the effects of the match that just took place, and attempts to hit his signature 450 splash on Mr. Money in the Bank. Before he can, Michael rolls out of the ring, with his briefcase in hand, and stumbles onto the ramp.





This causes Teds theme to begin playing again as Michael walks up the ramp, still furious about yet another failed cash in attempt. Being the good friend that he is, Gabriel picks up the World Championship and hands it to Ted as Michael is on the stage throwing a verbal fit.

[JR]
What an exciting pay-per-view this was, new champions crowned, new rivalries emerged, and bad blood between our superstars and divas reached a boiling point for sure.

[King]
I'll say!

[Michael Cole]
Are you two seriously going to ignore the grave injustice we've just witnessed?

[King]
Are you still on about that?

[Michael Cole]
Michael McGillicutty should be World Heavyweight Champion right now!

[JR]
Well his plan failed so get it over it, Cole. Anyways our next show will be the annual XWL draft, where everyone on the roster will be eligible to be drafted, champions, superstars, and our lovely divas. We might even see our new World Heavyweight Champion Ted DiBiase drafted over to Breakdown. Anything can happen so we encouraged you to tune in folks, because you won't wanna miss it!



Michael locks eyes with the new World Champion and mouths “This isn't over, Ted.” Ted thinks nothing of it and with his title in hand mounts onto the second rope raising it up in the air at McGillicutty shouting "Come and get it!" as Bad Blood goes off the air.
