You Decide The Stipulation
JBL Vs A midget
A. Steel Cage Match
B. No Disqualification Match
C. Parking Lot Brawl
This isn’t the most traditional of matches but as JBL is going to find out tonight, sometimes challenges come in all shapes and sizes and when you have to defend your honor, your manhood and your pride, sometimes it really doesn’t matter if the other guy only comes up to your kneecap. As a man you simply have to do what you have to do to assert your dominance and to keep your spot on the ladder. That’s the mentality the midget has going into this match because when JBL brought him on a few weeks ago and then made a fool of him, the midget realized right then and there that he had to show JBL that he was more than a pretty face. Midge challenged the self-proclaimed Wrestling God to a match at Digital Decision and though many guffawed and were ready to boycott XWL for having the audacity to put this kind of a match on a card that they paid to see, there were some who were glad that Midge was getting his chance at redemption… at glory. Those were the people that ran and voted for the DQ Match or Parking Lot Brawl because a weapon can make even the smallest man look like a giant and the last thing they would want to do is lock him in a cage where it would take him three times as long to climb out. These people saw themselves as the midget…. they saw themselves as the little guy being constantly picked on by the big bully whether it be at school work or at home, and a victory for him would be a victory for all of them. But they must realize that JBL is a veteran and it won’t be an easy fight, but if he underestimates Midge and doesn’t take this match seriously, then he can find himself on the wrong end of an upset.
You Decide The Stipulation
Matt Morgan Vs Kurt Angle
A. First Blood Match
B. 15 Min Ironman Match
C. Extreme Rules Match
Kurt Angle was attacked so long ago we sometimes forget it even happened, but to him it’s still real and the beating he received is as vivid in his mind as if it happened just yesterday. Matt Morgan surely wishes that he could have been the one to deliver that beating yesterday because for weeks Angle has accused him of being the man being the attack and stuck to that belief no matter how hard Morgan tried to plead innocent. Morgan showed up out of the blue during Angle’s match against JBL and from that moment on Kurt Angle was convinced that Morgan was the man. And from that moment on Angle has done anything and everything, from kicks to the nuts to appearing on another brand, in order to avoid a confrontation with Matt Morgan who felt that a match between the two was the only way to clear his name and to show Angle that he isn’t as great as he thinks he is… at least not anymore. But Kurt Angle is a man who likes to live in the past and he’ll never hesitate to remind you about the time he won a gold medal for his country with a broken freakin’ neck, but as far as Matt Morgan is concerned Angle is no longer the American Hero, but a Zero and coward who won’t man up and face him in the ring. At least that was the way it seemed until Angle revealed in what he thought was a shocking twist that he wanted the match all along and he along with his buddies loved watching Morgan beg. But at Digital Decision Angle may be the one begging for mercy as Morgan takes out a month’s worth of aggression and frustration on him in one of three matches that each require a completely different strategy but either of them will give Morgan or Angle the victory they seek.
You Decide The Stipulation
Trish Stratus Vs Mickie James
A. No KO Match
B. Pinfall Only
C. Falls Count Anywhere Match
Trish Stratus and Mickie James are considered two of the best women to ever lace up a pair of boots and step into the ring, but as for who is better between the two? That has yet to be decided as of right now because almost every match between these two divas has resulted in some kind of a draw, leaving the title of ‘Best Women Wrestler’ up for grabs for just a little bit longer. From double count outs, to double knock outs, these two have gone to war numerous times on live pay per view, on free television and even on house shows, only for things to end in a stalemate time and time again without satisfaction of having one of their arms raised in victory. At this point the people just want to see someone win, and if it takes one more epic contest between the two to decide who is better once and for all, then so be it, any match that features Mickie James and Trish Stratus is bound to be stellar. Digital Decision has provided the people with the power to choose the match in which these divas will wrestle their potentially final bout and the options chosen have made incredibly difficult for a clear winner not to be decided this time around. No KO, Pinfalls Only, and Falls Count Anywhere all ensure that the issues that have plagued the divas before won’t come back to haunt them again, and they won’t have to worry about their match ending prematurely. And three of these options give them the chance to wrestle for all long as it takes and whether that be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, an hour or something beyond, we’ll be treated for a treated because it’s almost guaranteed that both women will put it all on the line to achieve the victory that has eluded them so well in this rivalry of theirs.
Triple Threat Match
Which Band was better? Winner decides the match stipulation
Alex Shelley Vs Chris Jericho Vs Mr. Parks
A. The High Crusade ( Alex Shelley Picks )
B. Fozzy ( Chris Jericho Picks )
C. Neither They Both Were Bad ( Mr. Parks Picks )
Alex Shelley came up with the idea for the X-Treme Championship Series after Final Stand IV, but before he could make it to the end he was beaten down by a man he couldn’t identify and was forced to relinquish his spot in the series. Gone for weeks, Shelley suddenly made his return and took out Chris Jericho backstage. Although Shelley didn’t see who his mystery assailant was, he was convinced that Jericho was the man who ruined his chance at reclaiming the X-Treme Championship. Shelley heard that Jericho was on Redemption the same night he was attacked ironing out the details of a new contract and that was all Shelley needed to confirm his suspicions. Shelley accused Jericho of being jealous of the way Shelley’s been able to be a better Y2J than the man himself, down to the band, and Jericho deemed Shelley as nothing but a wannabe. These two men went head to head at Unforgiven and just when it looked like a match was what the doctor ordered in terms of solving their issues, the lights went out before a winner could be declared and when they came back on, both men were out cold. A mask lay between the two making Mr. Fn their first suspect. Mr. Park, the closest they could get to Fn, denied any involvement until one week he broke down and admitted to everything, including the attack on Shelley before Bad Blood. Parks begged for forgiveness, but it is doubtful that Shelley and Jericho would be so willing to let things go, and it’s even more doubtful that Jericho will let go the fact that Shelley falsely accused him. In this triple threat match, scores will be settled and depending on which back you thought rocked the hardest, one of these men will get the chance to choose the match the three will compete in. What match will the arrogant Jericho, the quirky Shelley or the conflicted Parks choose? We’ll just have to wait to find out.
Extreme Rules Match
X-treme Championship
Ezekiel Jackson Vs Zack Ryder (C) Ezekiel Jackson fought hard in the X-treme Championship series and after a month of nothing but Extreme Rules matches he stood tall at the end with the X-treme Championship in his possession. The Personification of Domination was proud, he was excited and he was ready to show everybody just how dominant he could be as a champion, but in his first title defense he lost to the man they call Zack Ryder ending Zeke’s reign before it even got the chance to grow. Ryder was building up quite a following for himself thanks to the help of his entertaining web show: Z! True Long Island Story and he used the power of twitter and various other social media outlets to get the X-treme Title matches and once he got it he knew what to do with it. After the stunning loss, Zeke didn’t know what to do himself, from isolating himself in him locker room to snapping at interviewers, the man was on a rampage as he cried for a rematch week after week. Well now here at Digital Decision he’s getting that rematch, against the same man that took the title away from him! Ryder has proved himself to be a competent and worthy champion, but Zeke feels that its only because they were keeping him away from the title for so long. In one of the few matches the fans have no control over, these two know what they’re in for and they know the lengths they have to go to get the win and get the title. But this isn’t the only match Ryder and Zeke will find themselves in tonight, and in an extreme rules match definitely isn’t where you want to find yourself on a night where you’re pulling double duty, but sometimes things like that have to be done to show that you deserve your spot on the ladder and that you’re willing to put your health at risk to climb a rung higher.
Who Will Face Mr. Anderson?
Mr. Anderson Vs
A. Dude Love
B. Cactus Jack
C. Mankind
Mr. Anderson made his return after a few weeks of being missing in action and immediately set his sights on Breakdown’s General Manager: Mick Foley. Anderson doesn’t like how Foley panders to the crowd and blames the people for the lack of things Foley has been able to accomplish compared to the likes men who have been able to put themselves first every now and then. Anderson saw Foley as a man who came out week after week trying hard to keep himself relevant and in the spotlight and he declared himself the one who is going to take Foley out once and for all. Foley is no stranger to being the target of a Breakdown superstars’ ire. Cody Rhodes and his Resistance actually got him out of his general manager’s job, but Foley got rid of them and now that Anderson has stepped out of line, Foley’s going to put him in his place too. But this time around Foley doesn’t have to deal with five renegades, and this time he doesn’t have Edge to back him up. Foley realizes that this is a battle that he has to fight himself to show Anderson that he still has it…. though it isn’t a battle that he has to fight as himself. At Digital Decision, Foley will seek the aid of one of his past personas to help him take Anderson to school, but Anderson has been preparing himself for all three and he is ready for whichever the people send his way. The three different versions of Mick Foley: Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love and all unique and all ready for a fight, and if Anderson thinks either one of them will be a walk in the park then he’s in for a rude awakening. Foley isn’t known for making life easy for his opponents, nor is he known for his clean technically sound wrestling matches. Anderson was looking for a fight and he is no doubt going to get more than he bargained for.
15 Min Ironman Match
XWL 15 Title
Christian Vs JBL (C)
Christian has decided that one title match wasn’t enough so he decided to throw his name in for another, but if Captain Charisma isn’t careful his risky gamble may leave him with zero titles instead of two. JBL has his fight with a midget to worry about while Christian’s big defense against Davey Richards has to be creeping somewhere in the back of his mind, but in this match they need to focus on each other and leave everything else on the stage because they need to put everything they have into those 15 minutes to prove why they deserve to be XWL 15 Championship. JBL recently won the medal after defeating the red-hot Alex Riley in what was an intense match-up and now the man who considers himself to be a Wrestling God will show that he will be one of the most dominant men to hold that medal , starting with his first defense against Christian. But Christian is no rookie and he’s been around long enough to see guys talk the talk and in this match he’s going to make it his mission to see if JBL can walk the walk. Both of these men are looking to obtain the same prize but only one can get it and after what could potentially be the longest 15 minutes of their lives, only one will stand victorious at the end of things with the medal in their possession. This is another match where the fans had no say in how things played out, which means Christian and JBL don’t have to worry about being surprised, they just need to worry about being victories. So can JBL do it? Can he show that Alex Riley was merely the first victim on what will be a growing list of many? Or will Christian make history as the first man to hold both the Intercontinental Tile and XWL 15 medal? …. Even if it’s just for one night.
You Decide The Stipulation
John Cena Vs Sheamus
A. Tables Match
B. Ladder Match
C. Irish Street Fight
At Unforgiven, John Cena failed in his attempts to best The Corporation and then he suddenly found himself back on Redemption where he vowed to make this run count and promised that he would hold championship gold sooner rather than later. But on what was supposed to be a wonderful night, things quickly went south and Cena was the recipient of his own finishing move in what a cherry on the top of a sick backstage assault. As Cena began trying to figure out which man would want to make him a target, Sheamus interrupted him putting him at the top of Cena’s list. Sheamus was back and he was ready to make his run in XWL and on his way to the top he was going to take out guys like Cena who aren’t man enough to hang with the likes of him. Sheamus denied having any involvement in the attack but security footage proved otherwise, and Sheamus quickly realized that an angry John Cena is not someone that you want to mess with. Cena is ready for a fight, Cena is ready to show the world that he will not lay down and let someone else step on him, Cena is ready to show Sheamus just what happens when you think you can use the Leader of the CeNation as the envelope to send his message in. These two men have scrapped on a number of occasions from inside the arena to at an autograph signing and now at Digital Decision, the people have the power to choose whether the two compete in a tables, ladder or Irish Street Fight, and with all the bad blood that been accumulated over the weeks things are going to get violent, brutal and heated and that bad blood is going to spill. Neither Cena nor Sheamus are going to go easy on each other and it may be safe to assume that neither man would want to have it any other way.
You Decide The Stipulation
Kaitlyn Vs Michelle McCool
A. No Countouts Match
B. Submission Only Match
C. Strap Match
These two ladies probably can’t wait to get into this ring and tear each other apart after all they’ve been through over the months. Michelle hurt Kaitlyn’s friend Kelly Kelly, and didn’t give a single damn about it and even bragged and prided herself over what she did. But Kaitlyn didn’t like that one bit and after taking a quick break from XWL, she resurfaced on Breakdown ready to avenge the injury to one of her pals, but Michelle didn’t make life easy for her at all. Repeated attempts to get Mick Foley to fire Kaitlyn fired have failed again and again and when the two finally went up against each other at Unforgiven it was Kaitlyn who walked out the winner… after grabbing the ropes. Kaitlyn claims that she didn’t do anything that Michelle wouldn’t, and although true, that was the perfect set up for Michelle to get the rematch she wanted so that she can put Kaitlyn in her place once and for all. Michelle still feels like she is the top diva in XWL, and beating Kaitlyn tonight will put her on the right path to hold divas gold again. However, these three potential matches won’t make life easier for either of them and they’ll have to really dig down deep to survive this encounter and get the win. From a No Countouts Match, to Submission Only to a Strap Match, these ladies are going to leave Digital Decision with welts, bruises and scrapes but all the pain and suffering will be worth it in the end if they can come out of top. McCool said that all three matches play in her favor and that regardless of which is picked she’ll have the advantage, so now it’s up to Kaitlyn to shut McCool up once and for all, and maybe even get her to apologize when things are all said and done.
Who Faces Triple H?
Triple H Vs
A. The Rock
B. Vince McMahon
C. The Rock & Vince McMahon
Triple H’s rivalry with Brock Lesnar has put him through a lot. He’s been F’5 he’s been viciously attacked and worst of all he’s been fire, but no matter what The Game always found a way to bring the fight and the events over the last few weeks prove just that. Triple H made his grand return but would have been a perfect re-emergence ended on a sour note as Triple H struck CM Punk with his trusty and possibly rusty sledgehammer instead of his intended target: Brock Lesnar. But last week, Triple H got his man and a Pedigree through the announcers table was one of the many things done to remind Brock and the rest of XWL why he is the King of Kings. But that wasn’t the end of the story, in fact this could only be the beginning because Triple H could have jumped right of the frying pan and into the fire. While he was away, Brock Lesnar aligned himself with The Corporation, and when Triple H took out their muscle man, The Corporation took that personally. Before Triple H could celebrate taking out his rival, The Rock came out and made it clear that The Corporation has found their next target and they may make Triple H regret ever interfering in their business. But Triple H isn’t a pushover and he’s not going to back down from The Rock’s challenge and regardless of how people vote, you have to get the feeling that both men will find themselves involved in the match. These two men methodically broke down CM Punk, and now they may be just about ready to do the same to The Game, regardless of his legacy. When The Corporation wants to do something, they do it, and if they want to tear down Triple H then they just might make him their next victim.
You Decide The Stipulation
Intercontinental Championship
Davey Richards Vs Christian (C)
A. Chairs Match
B. Fight Without Honor Match
C. Lumberjack Match
These two men know each other very well, because for weeks Christian told Davey that Unforgiven would be his night and that he would walk away with the Intercontinental Championship. That is exactly what he did when push came to shove: he pinned Davey in that ring to mark the beginning of his title reign. However, Christian did more than win the title, he traded in the old for a new and he spit on the past title holders and their legacy claiming his to be the start of something new... the start of a reign by a champion who deserves to hold the belt. Though Christian hasn’t had the most impressive of runs and Davey may find that this may be the perfect time to go after his prey. Christian doesn’t have any momentum heading into their title match while Davey has at least picked up a win against World Champion hopeful Michael McGillicutty. Christian may have changed the look of the belt but he may not be able to escape the streak of past Intercontinental Champions who lost their belt during their first defense. Davey may have come up short in the last encounter, but at Digital Decision he has the chance to avenge his loss and to reclaim the title that he barely got to spend any time with. The fans have the option to vote for one of three grueling matches that will no doubt test their resilience and pain threshold. Chairs Match, Fight Without Honor and Lumberjack match are the options and all three men will have to step into that ring knowing that they’re going to feel pain… and a lot of it. But neither man is a stranger to the danger of these extreme matches and they know what they’re in for and for one of these pain everything will be worth it just for the chance to walk out as Intercontinental Champion.
You Decide The Stipulation
Joey Ryan Vs AJ Styles
A. Ultimate X Match
B. Tables Match
C. Steel Cage
This has been a rather lengthy feud that has seen Intercontinental Championships along with XWL 15 medal’s come and go, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is their disdain for one another. Ryan wants to show Styles first-hand what it means to be sleazy and that has led to a number confrontations and a number of matches between the men in what have been some incredible matches. And just when Ryan thought he had seen the last of Styles at Unforgiven, Styles made a special trip to Redemption to let Hollywood’s finest know that he’s still alive. The matches have been named and on this night Styles and Ryan will go at it for possibly the last time, to put their differences to rest once and for all. This isn’t going to be an easy match for either man as Ryan is going through his problems getting his rematch for the Intercontinental Championship, and Styles has been strangely detached from XWL, and the three matches they could potentially battle in, isn’t going to make life any easier. The Ultimate X match is the easy runaway favorite as it would be an XWL first and it would give Ryan the chance to take on Styles in Styles’ habitat and if Ryan is as good as he says he is then he’ll have no problem brining the fight to Styles. The Ultimate X match will see these men take a lot of big falls all in the name of retrieving that object in the middle of the intersecting cables to secure the win and earn themselves bragging rights for the rest of eternity. Styles has been letting Ryan get the best of him over the weeks, and Digital Decision will be his night to turn everything around and walk out with his head held high.
You Decide The Stipulation
Chavo Guerrero Vs Kid Kash
A. Barbed Wire Cage Match
B. Falls Count Anywhere Match
C. Lumberjack Match
Months ago Chavo’s aunt Vickie brought in Kid Kash to help light a fire under nephew and to get him to care about wrestling again. Chavo was slumping, Chavo was losing faith in himself and his ability and his career, though he would never admit that. Kash brought back a side of Chavo that we thought we’d never see again and although nobody won that match, Chavo walked away with a different take on things and though he may have appreciated what Kash did, it’s doubtful that he liked the fact that Kash took it upon himself to return so that he can finish what he started. Kash took it personally that Chavo was still able to walk after Bad Blood, much less wrestle and he jumped at the chance to make his return when XWL Management came calling. But Kash was brought back under a new set of rules; he couldn’t be touched before Digital Decision for fear that he would be injured and their investment wasted, but when Kash said the wrong things to Chavo he got punched in the face and Chavo put his job at risk. After holding Redemption hostage, Chavo was told that if he lost at Digital Decision he would be fired, but if he won he would get a title match. Kash and Chavo have been at each other’s throats and the possible matches that they could find themselves wrestling in won’t make things any better. Kash is going to show that Chavo is nothing but a black sheep and a disgrace to the Guerrero name, while Chavo realizing that this may be the last time he wrestles in an XWL ring will no doubt give everything he has to send Kash packing. Chavo’s tired of being underestimated and laughed at and what he does to Kash could set the precedent for what he does to others who cross him.
You Decide The Challenger
Crimson Vs
A. Big Show
B. Ezekiel Jackson
C. Curt Hawkins
Crimson had nothing better to do with his life one day and decided that he’d talk a little trash and then offer up an open challenge to make things interesting for him. To his surprise, three men answered his call in the forms of Big Zeke, Little Curt and Big Show, all men who had nothing going for them at the pay per view and could use the match to get things going for them. All three men feel that they are the best option to go into the pay per view to challenge Crimson, while Crimson could care less and sees his three challengers as nothing more than a mere warm up as he preps himself to do bigger and better things with his time and his career. Big Zeke feels that with his size, strength, smarts and ability to just dominate anyone set before him that he’s be the best man to ultimately take on and subsequently defeat Crimson. Hawkins is Hawkins, the man who says whatever he wants whenever he wants and despite being the smallest man involved, he feels that he’ll put up the biggest fight and that what proven when he won the triple threat match between the three voting options. Big Show wasn’t the man pinned, but he has said that he’s just tired of people calling him a fat slob when he’s in fact a fit monster and if the fans vote for him he’ll show exactly what he means by making light work of Crimson at the pay per view. For the fans, these aren’t the most ideal voting options, with all three men, and Crimson, for that matter being guys that they despise and how they go about voting for this will have a lot more to do with who they hate the least.
You Decide The Stipulation
Cody Rhodes Vs Zack Ryder
A. Last Man Standing Match
B. Stretcher Match
C. Texas Bull Rope Match
This is Zack Ryder’s second match of the night, and coming of an X-treme title match is not the way most men envision doing battle against their rival, but Ryder has to do what he has to do to show that he’s someone to be taken seriously. Ryder wants to show that he can be a funny guy on his show yet still a threat in the ring and he has been doing just that over the months. Cody despises Ryder’s goofiness and has made a point to embarrass him time and time again though instead he has found himself a victim of the Rough Ryder time and time again. If Cody isn’t careful this could be a repeat of Unforgiven where Ryder defended his title and beat Rhodes in the same night, though Cody did nearly cripple him so he can take his small victories where he can scrounge them up. Despite Cody feeling that Ryder is beneath him, Ryder seemingly has his number and all hopes at a World Title Shot could be forever lost if Cody can’t overcome his longtime adversary tonight. From hacking Ryder’s show to costing him his match against Randy Orton, Rhodes has done whatever he could to get under the Long Islander’s skin, but nothing seems to have worked. But tonight at the PPV, they are battling under different circumstances and whether it be in a Last Man Standing, Stretcher or Texas Bull Rope Match the winner will be the man who can inflict the most amount of pain and leave their opponent incapacitated. Cody has shown that he has a mean streak in him and he is dangerous once he gets going, but Ryder is X-treme Champion for a reason and he better hope that the battles he has fought with the title on the line did a decent enough job of preparing him for this battle against Cody.
You Decide The Stipulation
United States Championship
Daniel Bryan Vs Shawn Michaels (C)
A. Ladder Match
B. Submission Match
C. Falls Count Anywhere Match
Shawn Michaels is currently the longest reigning United States champion and he got to that point through tricks and deception and pulling the most devious of tactics to help keep his title reign in check. Daniel Bryan became another victim of HBK’s game after winning via disqualification and an attack to Michaels after his match against Edge was Daniel Bryan’s way of letting the champ know that things between them are far from over. But this goes beyond the championship and even beyond the confines of XWL. Shawn Michaels was the man that helped train Daniel and Daniel can’t believe the level his former teacher has sunk just to hang onto his championship. Daniel wants to kick Michaels out of the spotlight so that the younger and more deserving talent can get their time to shine. But Michaels made it clear that he’s not going to just hand over the torch and if Bryan wants it he’s going to have to pry in out of Michaels’ fingers. Daniel Bryan isn’t the first man who tried to take out Shawn Michaels, from Curt Hawkins to Mason Ryan, the Heartbreak Kid has had his fair share of youngsters try to dethrone him but in the end they all lost, and at Unforgiven Daniel Bryan was no different. In fact Shawn Michaels pulled a page out of Daniel’s book and made him tap to his own finisher although controversy about Daniel’s hand hitting the ropes made the result of the match a bit murky. But now at Digital Decision they’ll be duking it out in matches that will potentially offer a clearer a result. Can Daniel Bryan beat HBK at his own game and climb the ladder to grab the belt. Or will HBK repeat his actions at Unforgiven and make Bryan tap again? Perhaps they will be set free to do battle anywhere and everywhere in a falls count anywhere match, but if there’s one thing for sure is that the last in this trilogy of matches definitely will not disappoint.
You Decide The Stipulation
Randy Orton Vs The Undertaker
A. Casket Match
B. Ambulance Match
You could say Randy Orton has been obsessed with getting his match against Undertaker… scarily obsessed. You could also say that Orton has driven himself mad to best The Deadman and has gone as far as to sacrifice his own father to prove a point to The Undertaker. From the moment Orton called out Undertaker to the fateful moment when one of them is carried out on a stretcher or an ambulance, this rivalry has been packed with emotion and violence and Digital Decision will be when it all peaks. That’s because Digital Decision is the show when this all ends once and for all, the mind games are over, the words mean nothing all that matters on this night is beating your opponent until you yourself are too weak to stand. Their encounter at Unforgiven was physical, it was painful to watch, but it will be nothing compared to when they pull out all the stops to best the other tonight. If you thought what they did to each other to get a three count was sickening, image the lengths they will have to go through to keep the other down long enough to get their opponent on a stretcher or put them inside of an ambulance. Taker vows to make Orton regret ever saying his name, and this will be night to make him pay. Orton savagely beat Taker with a chair to disqualify himself at Unforgiven, and this will be the night to make Orton realize what happens to those who think they can best The Deadman or use him to make a name for himself. Orton has been playing a dangerous game but it’s one he feels he can win and when it’s all said and done everything he’s done, the people’s he’s hurt, the words he has said will all be worth it.
You Decide The Stipulation
Divas Championship
Eve Torres Vs Layla El (C)
A. Extreme Makeover Match
B. Title On A Pole Match
C. Last Chance Match
Eve and Layla have been going at it for months and just when it looked like Eve would be able to put an end to the reign of terror, Layla finds a way to retain regardless if her methods are acceptable or not. Layla’s been doing what she has to do to make sure that she remains at the top of the division and she’ll be damned if she lets the likes of Eve end her run before she can really get going. Eve decided to play dirty to even things up and she used her beauty and ability to seduce to get what she whatever she wanted from Teddy Long again and again. One of the things she wanted was for Layla to suffer at the hands of Kharma and after some sweet talk Teddy Long made the match and the divas champ fell to Kharma as she just wasn’t able to overcome her strength. Layla got back at Eve by pinning her in a tag match during the time she found an ally in Brie Bella while her sister was out injured. But Eve has brushed off the loss and with no tag partners to distract her, she’s going to beat Layla and get the win that she should have months ago. Looking at the match options, it sure isn’t going to be an easy feat to accomplish as Layla no doubt has a few more tricks up her sleeve and if the Last Chance Match gets chosen Eve won’t get another opportunity again. So instead she wants an Extreme Makeover match so that she can make Layla look as ugly as she acts, though if you ask Layla she’ll tell you that ruining her looks is on par with the impossible. These two women are ready to scratch and claw their way to a victory because they both want to be called a divas champ when everything is all said and done.
You Decide The Stipulation
World Heavyweight Championship
Michael McGillicutty Vs Ted DiBiase (C)
A. TLC Match
B. Street Fight
C. Hell in a Cell Match
This is the match that we’ve all been waiting for and tonight will determine which man will walk out of Digital Decision as the XWL World Heavyweight Championship. The rivalry between these two multi-generation superstars have spanned months and everything that has happened will all boil down to this match where the winner gets the gold and the loser walks away with nothing. This whole mess started way before a championship was involved with Michael McGillicutty thinking he can make quick work of the forever corny leader of the DiBiase Posse, but to his surprise DiBiase put up a bigger fight than expected and the two men went on their separate ways. DiBiase had some business to settle with The Rock and McGillicutty found a new multi-generation star to pick on in Chavo Guerrero, but their paths crossed again when Ted DiBiase’s dream of becoming a World champion in XWL became reality and McGiliicutty found himself in possession of the money in bank briefcase. Almost as if it were destined to be these two men found themselves going at it, only this time things were taking to a whole new level. This time McGillicutty was willing to steal Ted DiBiase’s girl right out from under him in his quest to make sure Ted left this feud empty handed. This time McGillicutty was willing to attack Ted’s on father to make sure that Ted truly felt all alone. Although Ted did have his moments from tricking McGillicutty with a pre-recorded message to a brawl backstage, Ted did all he could to keep up but it was McGillicutty who seemed to be in control of things and the World Title was his to win at Unforgiven. But the match ending didn’t satisfy anyone because after both men both their bodies on the line, a Ref’s bad call ended the match before a true winner can be declared. Tonight at Digital Decision is the last stand for both men. Ted DiBiase has to show that he is worthy of being champion and his victory over Justin Gabriel wasn’t a fluke and in order to do that he has to defeat the man who has been a thorn in his side for quite some time. Michael McGillicutty has to prove that he can back up everything he says and that he didn’t get to where he is because of luck. But if push comes to shove he is Mr. Money in the Bank…

Parking Lot Broll
JBL trying to back out from his second match was a nice addition due to how much of a cowardly heel he is. The midget taking advantage of this being JBL's 2nd match was expected, as he beats the crap out of him. I didn't expect the writeup to end so suddenly, it kind of ended when it had just started if you get me. It was still an enjoyable read for what it was.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG
I'm still not really sold on the Angle/Show team honestly, it's going to take a lot of time to convince me that it's going to work. But the first paragraph was good in the sense of explaning why they teamed up and the fact that they want more titles and power shows their characters are power driven. You made a mistake when you said they're better than Awesome Truth though. Show being the Xtreme Champ, if done right could be really good so hopefully that works out. It's cool to see Show voted in and I liked the way you revealed it. The part where he shrugs off KOTR saying it's for "someone like Kurt" seemed like a bit of an insult. I lol'd at the last line too, good promo. It's awesome to see a Big Show in XWL.
Fav Line
"I don't want your thanks."
Jon's underground diner
The first paragraph was solid, it outlined a lot going on and what's to come. I like how you used the pictures to set the tone for the promo, such as Cody staring at Ed. I liked the point that you brought up of how Cody as basically the last man standing at Unforgiven. I'm really interested to see the real meaning behind the tweet, when you said bringing back prestige I guessed the Xtreme Title. Awesome to see the bullrope was chosen, that could make a really fun writeup for you or Bang. The single promo at the start was great as always, your Cody promos come off as so solid with ease. I laughed so much at the Cody/Curtis segments, Curtis turning the questions around is always hilarious. Looking forward to seeing the rest of Curtis' investigation.
Fav Line
"Look, I hear you're insane. Weird insane."
Dolph Ziggler writeup featuring Randy Orton and The Undertaker
It's cool to see Casket chosen for the match, although you probably could've done a lot more with the ambulance. I had a feeling the match would have an explosive start and I'm glad it did. I didn't expect Orton to have such an advantage right away because he's kicking ass. Your writeups have always been fun to read because of how you can keep control of who has the advantage and not over-do it. The fact that The Undertaker of all people had to go for a low blow shows how relentless Orton is, but how crazy he's gotten. I like how quickly you had the tables turn with Orton crawling away only to have Taker follow him. I love how you had the little spot with Taker hitting the casket, then both of them realising how strong it is. Orton slamming the casket door on Taker's spine made me cringe, I liked when Orton spat at Taker in the casket just to get at him and save himself. The RKO on the apron was a nice spot to put Taker in, and punting him in the casket was the cherry on top of a kickass writeup. Fantastic stuff to read as always.

As DD returns from an advert JB is standing in the backstage area with Crimson
J.B Hello everybody and welcome back to Digital Decision the time of year when you the fans are in charge. Crimson, I've got to ask after last week on Redemption are you still 100 % ?
Crimson Of course I'm still 100 percent it'll take alot more than a couple of bald forty year olds to hurt me. Tonight is not about the past it's about the future, More specifcally it's about ME. Tonight 3 men are sitting backstage praying that they're not the one the fans vote to face me. They're all afraid of me, Last week when I went down to that ring only one man stayed there. Curt ran backstage with his pet in tow, Jackson was playing dead because he figured that if he didn't move I wouldn't see him and Big Show needed help. None of these men can do anything to hurt me.
J.B Big Show has been chosen to face you, Aren't you concerned that Kurt Angle will get involved given their new partnership ?
Crimson Why would I be afraid ? What possible reason could I have to be worried about a guy that's pissed off a seven footer ? He's going to get what's coming to him in his match against Matt Morgan. Even if by some miracle he does try to get involved I'll just destroy him as well. Those two might be technical and they might be strong, But they're not me. I'm younger,better and I actually have hair on my head. Angle looks like an egg and Big Show has that horendous beard. They're both not even worth my time, Having said that they could make for a fun warm up before my matches. I represent the future of this industry, They should've retired a long time ago. They can't keep up with the younger guys. My point can be proven by the end of that three way match on Redemption last week, Show was exausted and needed to have a rest for a few moments before getting beaten up by me. I don't know why Angle got involved with me and Show last week he could've joined forces with Show another time maybe even tonight, But no he decided to piss off yet another young athlete that he's afraid of.
J.B All right Crimson earlier tonight we heard about the King of the Ring tournament. Do you think that you're going to be one of the participants ?
Crimson No I'm not going to be in that sham of a competition because I don't want to be in it. Last week Vickie offered me a place in it and I turned it down. That might sound like a stupid choice to make to the idiots in the arena and certainly to some of the wrestlers in the back. Last year Evan Bourne made it all the way to the final where he then got beaten by CM Punk. After that he went spiralling down to the point where he lost to Mason Ryan. He was a world champion yet no one ever talks about him. Almost a year has passed and that's still the only match he's had that people've paid attention to in all that time. So in short I'm not going to be in it because I'm just too good for it.
J.B That was Crimson ladies and gentlemen please enjoy the rest of the PPV
DD then fades into the next segment

*XWL cuts to the back as we see Matt Striker interviewing Sheamus it must be about his match tonight against John Cena. Sheamus is looking in a great mood due to the all the damage he had done to Cena over the past few weeks. Matt Striker introduces himself to the XWL Universe and begins the interview with Sheamus.*
[[Matt Striker]] Sheamus, it’s a pleasure tonight is a huge night for as you’re going to be facing off against the man that you’ve been basically beating up the past few weeks. Do you see John Cena as a threat tonight as you have never actually faced him one on one. Is this something you have thinking about leading up to your match over the last weeks?
[[Sheamus]] Do I see John Cena as a threat? That is a very stupid question why would you even bother asking such a question. Have you paid attention to what I have been doing to Cena? Every chance that I was given I attacked John Cena do you know why Matthew? I see Cena as such a weak competitor that I want to beat him down until he realizes this. John Cena thinks he can come out to the ring do a little rap about me and act as if he can get away with it. I strongly believe that a man who continues to talk smack about another man after they have constantly been getting their ass kicked is a glorified moron. John I hope you are listening to me right now because it will make you understand that tonight is a huge mistake for you. Stepping into the ring with me is like stepping into the ring with a pissed off bull. You are not stopping a pissed off bull there is no way of you beating me I’m telling you not being biased at all. Hell, I give Cena one thing that he’s been on a roll as of late racking up wins. Nevertheless, so have I since my return to XWL I have been dominating everyone that has stepped into the ring with me. After I am done with you Johnny boy I’m going to take aim at something worth going for. A title something you will never hold again in XWL because you are worthless.
[[Matt Striker]] Well Sheamus you bring a lot of good points to the table but please don’t take offense to this. I think John Cena as a chance of beating you he has shown over the past weeks that he is not taking any of your garbage anymore. He is tired of being attacked from behind he wants you one on one and I think he has what it takes to give you a run for your money. In addition, Sheamus not to sound like dick but you were the one who started this whole situation. This whole situation probably could have been avoided if you just admitted you attacked Cena.
[[Sheamus]] Are you trying to lose your teeth Matthew? John Cena having a chance of beating me HA that is a very funny joke. The fact that you try to defend that poor excuse for a human being humors me fella. I told you he brought this upon himself he deserved what I did to him 3 weeks ago. I regret one thing I should of just came out with a metal pipe no masks no nothing and just beat him until he forgot his name. I hate John Cena he is a mockery to XWL. I wish one of the options was loser is fired because I would pay people to vote for that. Cena needs to just get up and leave XWL for good he is not benefiting anyone by being here. Tonight is going to open a new chapter in XWL as “The Great White” Sheamus absolutely destroys a pitiful excuse for a wrestler known as John Cena. Matthew have you seen the options for the matches tonight. A steel cage, ladder match, and my favorite an Irish Brawl. The only chance of him beating me is if we are in either a ladder match of a steel cage because all he would have to do is avoid me to win. In an Irish Brawl Cena will not be able to avoid me. I will be on that man with constant pressure throughout the match. The only possibly way I will stop is when I win or when he is dead. I’m glad this whole situation started Matthew because I brought reality to John Cena. I’m showing him right now how it’s like to be a man and actually fight elite competition.
*Matt Striker is looking very scared at the moment he is a tentative with his questions*
[[Matt Striker]] No, I am not trying to lose my teeth I rather enjoy my teeth. However, after that response I concluded that you are not going to stop until Cena is given a good beaten. I rather agree with you Sheamus you are a top wrestler here in XWL I believe you do have what it takes to beat John Cena. On the hand, there is always a chance for an upset. I mean like that has happened before in XWL you never no. I am not trying to say that you may lose this match. I’m just trying to let you know there is a small percentage. Lets move on shall we, my next question for you is do you think that Cena as any tricks up his selves that he is going to pull out tonight? Also, same question for you do you have anything special that you going to debut tonight in your match?
[[Sheamus]] Good job fella you are on the right track right now. Its good to see people agree that Cena has no chance of defeating me. It’s like putting midget up against JBL do you actually believe that the midget actually has a chance unless he has a pocket knife him. I’m just going to ignore the fact that you said there is a chance for an upset. Let me get this through your head I don’t lose so Cena getting an upset win isn’t going to happen. Now that we have that settled, John is known for not having anything special up his selves. The man can barely wrestler what makes you think that he is going to pull out some tricks tonight with a man who can most likely reserve majority of the moves he does. Matthew I do got some tricks up my selves and that trick is called a pipe and my boot. I don’t care what match is chosen tonight. “The Celtic Warrior” is going to smack him with that pipe and kick him right in the jaw with my boot. You better hope XWL pays for your hospital bills if not then you are going to be in large amount of debt my friend. Wait.. why did I say my friend I hate John Cena I would even consider that man a friend I would rather chop my foot off and never wrestle again than be friends with John Cena!
[[Matt Striker]] Well now that we understand that you are completely serious about your extreme hatred for John Cena. Let me ask you do have any plans to continue with Cena after the pay per view or is this the last time you want to step into the ring with Cena? You see to be in the prime of your career I think a series of matches with Cena would be good for you to settle both of your wild emotions don’t you agree?
*Sheamus ponders the question for a second*
[[Sheamus]] Have you not been listening to me this whole time Matthew? What part of I’m going to destroy John Cena don’t you understand? Is it hard for you to comprehend that I’m not attempting to have a “Best of 7 series” with this man. I’m going to go into the ring and finish what I started then move on to something worth trying for. A series of matches wouldn’t be good for Cena what so ever because after this match Cena is going to realize what a true monster I am and not want to face me ever again in a match. My emotions will be settled tonight it’s time for me to show why I deserve to be in the spot light.
*Matt Striker is getting ready to ask another question what Sheamus cuts him off as he's going to finish his thought*
[[Sheamus]] Actually fella I just thought about it you have been defending John Cena in ever which way right now. Is there something you are hiding from me ? Are you a Cena fan Matthew?
[[Matt Striker]] As an interviewer I will not say who I favor or not.
[[Sheamus]] No fella I think you are a Cena fan. How cute is that and but on the hand how disrespectful is that of you to interview me when you already have a biased opinion for John Cena. Matthew do you like pissing me off because you are starting to get me even more pissed off then I am already. Actually that is good for me because I want to be in a pissed off mood when I go to the ring I want to be in the zone when I get into that ring. So thank you Matthew thank you so much I truly am grateful that you are a Cena fan. Why do you look so nervous right now? Do you think that I’m going to strike you or something? Don’t worry Matthew the only person that I’m going to strike over and over again is John Cena. I don’t need to waste my energy on you.
*Sheamus gets in Matt Strikers face who seems to be shaken up at the moment. Sheamus is smiling very creepy in the face of Matt Striker.*
[[Sheamus]] Please do watch my match tonight Matthew because all of what I said will be backed up. I'll so you why it's wrong to be a Cena fan maybe after tonight u'll realize that it's better to support the winning man not the beaten man. Do have a good night Matthew I appreciate the fact that you interviewed me thank you very much fella.
*Sheamus begins to turn around he turns back to Matt Striker and gets very close right in his face and fakes him out. Sheamus begins to laugh he bumps until Striker as he's walking away.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] What's that sound?
[Jim Ross] I don't know, sounds like someone is knocking on the door...
[Michael Cole] Who cares?
*A knock is heard at the door just then and while fans seem to be wondering what it possibly could be, Sheamus appears to know. Sheamus is now more determined than ever and he sets up to charge at the door, he charges and kicks the door with a brogue kick, knocking it down. A person is seen under the door and Sheamus devilishly grins, he must think it's Cena! The Celtic Warrior lifts up the door before slamming it on whomever lies underneath, he finally pushes the door off of the man and it is revealed to be.. a pizza guy! Sheamus must have forgotten that he or someone had ordered pizza to be delivered to Sheamus's locker room. Sheamus doesn't quite know what to do seeing as it's not Cena who he took out.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] That had to hurt, Sheamus must have thought that was Cena knocking on the door, but instead he hurt some poor delivery man! I bet that man was just expecting to make a couple of dollars for his family and now he'll probably be spending his night in the hospital!
[Jim Ross] And that was one fearsome brogue kick too, I think if that had been John Cena after all, there might have ended up being no match between the two tonight.
[Michael Cole] That's an understatement. If that brogue kick had connected with John Cena, there wouldn't even be a John Cena anymore! It's just a shame Cena sent that guy in to do his dirty work, because now that guy will never be the same again.
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Cole... I don't think that Cena had anything to do with that guy..
[Jim Ross] Me neither..
[Michael Cole] Of course he did, because that's the type of a man Cena is, he doesn't care who he hurts. All he wants is to get what is good for him and in this case, that's Sheamus!
*When Sheamus appears to be about ready to leave the scene, out of nowhere comes Cena! John Cena has taken the first advantage of this feud and pounces on Sheamus, landing shot after shot, paying Sheamus back for everything he's done so far. Sheamus may have thought he was going to gain an advantage here, but the opposite has occurred. John Cena continues the massive amounts of punches, not stopping until finally it seems he's thrown as many punches as he could and backs off of Sheamus, a little tired already. John Cena notices a lone janitor's cart filled with all types of things that a janitor uses to clean, well, whatever a janitor needs to clean. Cena first takes the mop off the cart. The mop is then raised high in the air, and struck down on Sheamus's back. Sheamus grabs for his back in pain, but then Cena targets his leg with the mop. After that strike, John turns his attention to the back of Sheamus's head and delivers a mop shot!*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] John Cena is looking really fired up here.. I don't think I've seen anything like this before! All these weeks of Sheamus attacking Cena and Cena is finally extracting the first bits of revenge!
[Jim Ross] That is right, John Cena said when it was a fair fight that he would be the one with an advantage, and I must say, so far that couldn't be more true!
[Michael Cole] What are you two blabbering about? Cena used the distraction of the pizza guy to his advantage, and now what he's doing is no better than a criminal act! This is wrong, the match hasn't even started yet!
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Well if you ask me, Sheamus deserves it.
[Jim Ross] I agree with King, for all Sheamus has done, this just about serves him right.
[Michael Cole] Look, while I disagree with you about Sheamus deserving this because I'm the only unbiased commentator here, the way this has gone down obviously favors Cena. I mean, the match hasn't even started but he's got the advantage in it, that alone should tell you something!
*Cena throws the mop down in anger on top of Sheamus, and it hits his back with a thud.. The Leader of the CeNation is possibly noticing one thing that will bring shame upon Sheamus.. Cena sees the janitor's bucket of gunk that he uses to dip his mop in. John takes the bucket of all sorts of gross things that have been mopped up, probably including throw up, and all sorts of other things you wouldn't want to touch. And he does the unthinkable... Cena dunks Sheamus's head in the water!*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Haha, Sheamus will smell that in the morning! That bucket must be full of all sorts of horrible, foul, smelling things. I almost feel bad for Sheamus, this could make him sick!
[Jim Ross] Cena is certainly determined now as much as ever.. If he's willing to put Sheamus's head in... that... then you have to bet he's willing to do a heck of a lot in this match!
[Michael Cole] That is just disgusting, John Cena is a living, breathing, monster. That bucket probably has the most disgusting things in it and Cena has no remorse as he barrels Sheamus's head into it, what is wrong with him!
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] It's called revenge, Cole.
[Michael Cole] No it's not, revenge is having a fair and clean match where you beat the person who you want to get revenge on, this is just beyond that! This is wrong in every way possible!
*Sheamus is struggling to get his head out of it as he clearly can't breathe in water, but he's unsuccessful until John finally lets him out. Cena clears a bunch of things off of the cart before lifting up Sheamus. Sheamus is a little bit light headed right now and it's clear to see he's not in the right state of mind after being held underwater for what seemed like at least half a minute. Cena lifts Sheamus up and delivers a fisherman suplex that places Sheamus, back first, on top of the cart! Cena quickly begins to peddle Sheamus down the hallway and no one quite knows where he's going... We pass a few XWL Superstars on the way there, Big Show and Kurt Angle seem to be having a discussion of some sort, and we see Matt Striker straightening his tie... Odd, but we finally realize where Cena is taking Sheamus...*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Cena is determined here, evr since he came into contact with Sheamus here he's been taking it to him. When will this end, will Sheamus even be able to fight back?
[Jim Ross] I don't know, these are professional wrestlers, wherever Cena is taking Sheamus on top of that cart Sheamus could probably get some offense in. But you have to respect what Cena is doing, he said that he'd pay back Sheamus for what he's done, and that's exactly what Cena is doing.
[Michael Cole] This is horrible, but how dare you guys question if Sheamus can come back! Of course he will, unlike Cena, Sheamus won't give up. He'll fight back and he'll show Cena just who- wait a second, where is that Cena is taking Sheamus?
*He's taking Sheamus to the spot this rivalry all began! It may have evolved over time, this rivalry may have even gotten a bit out of control at some moments, but it's back where it began... Cena's locker room. John pushes the cart right through the door and then throws it to the ground, letting Sheamus hit the ground. John begins looking around at all the things that are in their places that at one time Sheamus, under the mask of course, threw out of place. There's so many potential weapons in this one room, but Cena spots the one thing he wants to hurt Sheamus with the most.. the mask that started this all. John picks it up off the couch it was on and grabs it, he walks over to Sheamus and.. He begins to choke him out with the mask! Cena is squeezing the life out of a Sheamus who seemingly wasn't ready for a fight like this. He may have spoke a big game, but so far, he hasn't backed it up. Cena puts the mask on Sheamus now, but he puts it on backwards, so the very thing that once shielded Sheamus's identity is now shielding Sheamus's vision.*
[Michael Cole] Now that's just a dirty tactic..
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] How is that? This is a no disqualification match, anything goes!
[Jim Ross] Yeah and it's not like Sheamus hasn't done anything to Cena, as far as I'm concerned, this isn't nearly as bad as what Sheamus has done!
[Michael Cole] Let me backtrack a little to what King just said, this is a no disqualification match, but the match hasn't even started yet! That means that what Cena is doing right now should be punished! This is unjust!
*With Sheamus unable to see, Cena realizes this is a good chance to set something big up. Going along with the theme of making Sheamus's past come back to get him, Cena begins setting up a table, similar to the way Sheamus left him just last week. Cena finds the first table he can get his eyes on. He sets it up as quick as possible before bringing Sheamus to his feet, Sheamus then removes the mask to see what's going on but by then it's too late because Cena lifts Sheamus up onto his shoulders and delivers a devastating Attitude Adjustment through the table! The pain can be heard coming out of Sheamus as he makes a loud sound when he makes impact with the floor.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Revenge at its finest! Cena has now revenged each week of attacks from Sheamus, he used the mask against Sheamus, he put Sheamus through a table, and he's been fighting Sheamus just the way Sheamus has done to him over the weeks!
[Jim Ross] This is great, I love watching this!
[Michael Cole] How can you love watching this? This is cold hearted attack! I can't wait until Sheamus gets the upper hand, it will be any second now, and then, I'll be the one laughing! Because Sheamus is going to destroy that punk John Cena!
*The Leader of the CeNation seems about satisfied here and is about ready to pin him, he even drops to his knees ready to pin, but realizes the match hasn't officially started yet so there's no ref around. It's just at this moment he spots the earlier janitor's cart. He preps the cart, and puts it right side up once more. Cena picks up the battered and bruises Sheamus and throws him on the cart. John Cena begins wheeling the cart through the halls and we're not quite sure where he's going, until we see the curtain to enter the ring area. It's at this moment Sheamus finally gains some control when he jumps off of the cart. Cena was unprepared for that as he's essentially been taking it to Sheamus, but Sheamus quickly charges towards Cena, kneeing him in the gut. John falls to the ground, and a raging Sheamus is quick to make sure he gets Cena on the cart. Sheamus tries pushing it through the curtain, but Cena grabs the wall before he can! John uses all of his force to keep the cart from going through the curtain before jumping off. Sheamus attempts to run John over with the cart after he jumped off, but it's to no avail because Sheamus missed him. Sheamus's momentum takes him forward and Cena uses this to throw a few quick punches. Following these punches, John throws Sheamus back on top of the cart. After getting him on top of the cart, he quickly pushes it through the curtain and as they enter the ring area, Cena's theme begins to play.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Oh look, the action is coming towards us! Business is about to pick up!
[Jim Ross] Indeed it is, and now we can see what they're doing from here!
[Michael Cole] Finally, we'll be able to see what they're doing so we'll be able to see when Sheamus wipes that smirk right off of John Cena's face! I can't wait.
*Cena's theme song begins playing and the crowd get on their feet, well, mostly because of course there's those people who hate Cena and everything he stands for. John Cena salutes the people as he enters and they're going insane, Cena doesn't hesitate to resume the attack on Sheamus however, he pushes Sheamus down the ramp on the cart, close enough to the ring. He does this before taking Sheamus off of the cart and throwing him in the ring, Cena slides in the ring and the bell finally rings.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] And this match is underway, it's no disqualification, falls count anywhere, anything goes in this Irish Street Fight!
[Jim Ross] That's right, they can do anything, low blows, eye pokes, there's nothing the ref or anyone else can do about it! It's so exciting!
[Michael Cole] So that means there's no stopping Sheamus when he finally puts an end to that little rat, John Cena. And there'll be no excuses from you guys because as you just said, anything goes!
You Decide The Stipulation John Cena Vs Sheamus
Ding, Ding, Ding!
*However, when they slip in the ring and the match starts, Sheamus low blows Cena! The crowd boo, but there's nothing anyone can do as it's No Disqualification. Sheamus throws Cena out of the ring quickly and starts taking it to him on the outside of the ring with strikes. The Celtic Warrior sees the cart that carried him there and gets a plan with it... With Cena leaning up against the side of the ring, Sheamus gets an evil, evil, plan. The Celtic Warrior takes the cart and faces directly towards John... He does this for a second before charging forward and nailing Cena dead in the skull with the cart! Cena appears to be out and his head goes underneath the ring so we can't exactly tell. Sheamus has an evil grin on his face, a grin of the same type that has been inflicting pain on Cena week after week.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] That was insane! Sheamus just ran John Cena over with the janitor's cart! That is diabolical, it's insane, but sadly, it's allowed in this match!
[Jim Ross] Anything is allowed in this match, but did you hear the sound it made? I'm concerned for Cena's safety! That had to hurt!
[Michael Cole] I hope it did hurt, after all Cena has done, he put Sheamus through hell so far in this match, this is just what I've been waiting for. John Cena will pay for what he's done and Sheamus is the man to do it to him!
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Cole, are you crazy? There's no one who deserved that shot! That must have been an unimaginable pain and you're glad Cena took it! From my experience in the ring nothing hurts more than weapons, so I can only imagine what that felt like!
[Michael Cole] If by crazy you mean a very good and unbiased commentator, then sure, I'm as crazy as they come!
*Sheamus lays down next to John, thinking he's out cold, mocking him. He dares stick his head underneath the ring apron as well, but that turns out to be a big mistake because the second he does so a clattering sound is heard loud, Cena had a trash can lid under there! Sheamus backs up, stunned, and Cena takes the rest of the trash can out. He throws it over Sheamus's head, and then picks up a wooden baseball bat he also found underneath the ring. Cena takes a couple home run swings towards Sheamus before Sheamus topples over in the trash can. Cena goes for a quick cover, thinking this may be it for Sheamus..*
1... 2...
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] This could be it!
[Jim Ross] Bah gawd that baseball bat shot looks like it did some damage, I wouldn't be shocked if it's all over!
[Michael Cole] It's not going to end like this obviously, Sheamus will win!
*But a kickout at two! Cena can't believe that Sheamus could still kickout after all he's already endured, but it did happen here at Digital Decision!*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] What a kickout! I can't believe that it was almost a three count!
[Jim Ross] You're right, if Sheamus had hesitated just a split second more, this match would be over!
[Michael Cole] You're wrong, because Sheamus wouldn't have hesitated a split second longer. He knows how much this means to him and he isn't going to allow Cena to beat him, no matter what, Sheamus will come out the victor here!
*Cena attempts to lift Sheamus to his feet, but Sheamus delivers a quick poke to the eye. The crowd boo the dirty tactics, but Sheamus doesn't care, he doesn't care at all, all he wants to do is end Cena, he doesn't care how. Sheamus runs full fledged at the staggered Cena and tackles him in a Lou Thesz press, Sheamus throws punches to Cena repeatedly, and all Cena can do is take it. John finally catches a punch and then throws one back of his own. The punch itself isn't very effective, but it allows Cena to throw Sheamus off. The two begin to brawl at the side of the ring, Sheamus able to back up Cena to the start of the ramp once he gains control. The two continue to brawl, Cena being backed up all the way to the middle of the ramp, and sensing that he's losing control, John grabs Sheamus and attempts to jump off, taking Sheamus with him, but Sheamus somehow reverses it into a super-powerful Irish Curse! Cena's back can be heard hitting Sheamus's knee and it doesn't sound too pretty.*
[Jim Ross] Bah gawd what a devastating maneuver, these two men won't be the same! They had to be a good 5 feet in the air where they jumped from and to land like that, both men must be hurt, but John Cena has to really be in pain now!
[Michael Cole] Good! And this is why I picked Sheamus to win this match, he's a much better wrestler than Cena! John Cena thought he could pull a fast one and take them both out to save the embarrassment from himself, but it turned around and now he's done! This is over!
*Sheamus has no remorse, he hits the ground after the move as well because of all the strength it took for him to perform. The two both lay on the ground, neither doing very much. It appears that that the match is over.. Sheamus crawls over in an attempt to pin Cena.*
1...
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] This could be it...
[Jim Ross] I hope not..
[Michael Cole] It's over..
2....
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Oh no.
[Jim Ross] Oh no.
[Michael Cole] Oh yes!
*No! What a kickout by Cena, he is resilient! The match seemed finish after that huge fall, but John Cena has willed himself up because he won't give up. Both men then lay on the ground, tired and it seems like no one is going to move again and the match is over but then, Sheamus proves us wrong as he regains his footing. The ref is on the verge of ruling John Cena unable to compete, but Cena begins to stir as well. However, he isn't stirring for long as Sheamus stomps him right on the shoulder, causing him to fall back down to the ground. Sheamus stomps out the grounded John Cena quite a few times before deciding that's no longer doing anything good enough. At the side of the ramp, Sheamus spots the exit to the ring area... Oddly enough, Sheamus walks right out the exit...*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] I'm assuming Sheamus has better things to do? This is odd..
[Jim Ross] I don't know what Sheamus has in mind, but I don't like the looks of this. Is he seriously walking out?
[Michael Cole] Of course he isn't, this is called strategy. Sheamus is getting the upperhand on Cena, I don't know exactly what he's doing, but I know he's going to continue the fight! Maybe he's looking for the pipe he's been talking about hurting Cena with?
*It isn't long before Cena realizes that Sheamus is gone and even though he's running out of strength from this grueling contest, he gets to his feet and walks backstage. John Cena can be seen searching backstage calling "Sheamus!" wherever he can. Cena is pacing around backstage, clearly frustrated this is how the match is going to end.. Cena then seems to resort to opening any door he can to try and find Sheamus, the first door he tries is apparently a locker room, but there's no name inscribed on the name plate. He pops the door open and looks in.. Only to see a cluster full of divas changing.. Cena raises an eyebrow, not having expected that and quickly closes the door. John Cena decides he's had enough of looking inside after that, and makes his way to the parking lot.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Maybe Sheamus is afraid of Cena, he could have just walked off, not wanting to fight him anymore.
[Jim Ross] Knowing Sheamus and the way he's treated Cena as of late, that wouldn't surprise me. But you have to think Sheamus wants a piece of Cena just as much as Cena wants a piece of him.
[Michael Cole] No you don't, obviously Sheamus wants it more. Like I said before, strategy. That's what this is, and John Cena will have no chance once Sheamus proves to be the smarter of the two once more.
*It isn't long before Cena's suspicion is proven right, Sheamus comes out of absolutely nowhere from behind and hits Cena right in the back with a pipe! Cena leans over as he's been hurt with the pipe, and Sheamus throws several more pipe shots until John falls straight onto the cement. Sheamus drops the pipe and pounces on Cena and throws punches to John now, but Cena reaches around to find a random crow bar lying on the ground near where he was taken down. John Cena reaches for it and after grabbing it, smacks Sheamus in the face, showing the first tear of blood thus far. Sheamus feels the blood on his face and puts his hand in it. He gazes at his hand with the blood from his face on it and is enraged, the bull is seeing red and he waits for Cena to stand up. It's like none of the other damage has taken place tonight because he runs as fast as a kenyan can and delivers a huge brogue kick to Cena, and though we've forgotten all about him, the ref is still following the two. Sheamus goes for a cover..*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Not again!
[Jim Ross] Come on, kickout!
[Michael Cole] Ahahahaahha, this is all over, you losers believed John Cena could actually beat Sheamus, well I knew all along!
1...
2....
*No! It's a very late kickout, the crowd can't believe it and begin chanting "Holy Shit, Holy Shit, Holy Shit" as they cant believe what they're witnessing here. Although it's dark out, street lights light up the area enough to be able to see that the brogue kick really cut open Cena.. Both men, although wanting to win, can't will themselves to their feet. They want to be the man to win so badly, but they can't find it within themselves to stand. They both, slowly, make it to their feet, the crowd can even be heard on the camera despite being very far from the action, as they'd reacting a lot to this match. The two begin a slow paced brawl after all they've endured and then it's Sheamus who eventually wins, backing Cena into a car in this parking lot. Cena is leaned up against the car and defenseless, Sheamus nails shots to the face of the bloodied and battered Cena, before deciding it's time... Sheamus grabs Cena by the head and rears back... He propels him face first through the car window!*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Yeek, that had to hurt. But I feel bad for the person who owns that car, they're out a window!
[Jim Ross] I feel worse of Cena's face, he's wearing the proverbial crimson mask and I don't think that is going to help matters at all!
[Michael Cole] Look at this, Sheamus just needed to warm up a little. Ever since they got to the ring, Cena has had no chance. Not that he had a chance earlier either though.
*Sheamus is looking to pin to Cena after that, but it's near impossible between the shattered glass all around, and the fact Cena is in the air on top of the place the window used to be. Sheamus yanks Cena out of the car and throws him to the ground. The Celtic Warrior then steps on top of the car... What could he possibly be planning? He then waits and stalks, for Cena to get to his feet... Cena finally wills himself to his feet and Sheamus launches himself in a moonsault, but somehow the very hurt John Cena is able to catch Sheamus! He throws Sheamus high onto his shoulders before he gets an idea.. Cena carries Sheamus onto the back end of the car that his face was thrown through, John finally launches Sheamus forward with an AA, onto the roof of the car. The roof caves in, making this the perfect spot to pin Sheamus! John pins Sheamus and the ref counts using the back end of the car as the mat to count on.*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] I think this is it, there's no possible way to kickout of that spot!
[Jim Ross] The roof of the car damn near caved in there, I'd be shocked if Sheamus was able to kickout of this one.
[Michael Cole] I wouldn't be shocked. You see, Sheamus is better than Cena. In every way possible, and that includes kicking out. If Cena could kick out after an Irish Curse off the side of the ramp, Sheamus can certainly kick out after an AA on top of a car!
1...
2....
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] Cole.. I don't think he's gonna kick out!
[Jim Ross] He isn't kicking out!
[Michael Cole] Just watch..
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Michael Cole] No!!! This is injustice! There's no way, the ref didn't see him get his shoulder up because it's too dark outside! No!!!! No!!!!! No!!!!!!
*Cena has done it! He's extracted revenge in the best way and although both men have blood on their face, Cena more than Sheamus, John Cena is able to have the pride of winning this match. His theme is blaring in the arena and the fans are pumped from what was an amazing match, but Cena can't quite bask in the glory like he'd probably want to right now. In fact, while Sheamus isn't moving at all, Cena is probably only a little better. He may be on his feet, but he's not doing very much more. Medical staff come out from inside the arena to assist both men after what was a very hard-fought contest. We head to commercial, wondering what will be made from the effects of this match? Will these men be at the next Redemption or will it require some time off? Only time will tell as we fade into the commentators.!*
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] That was one heck of a match, with that many weapons being used, you have to imagine that both men will feel it tomorrow when they wake up.
[Jim Ross] That they will. It appears they're feeling it now too since neither man can really react to the outcome of the match right now.
[Michael Cole] That was an unjust ending, Sheamus lifted up his shoulder and the ref ignored it! I demand a rematch!
[Jerry "The King" Lawler] I don't think either man is in any shape for a rematch right now... We saw weapon shot after weapon shot, at one point I thought this match would never end! And I wish it didn't because it certainly was a sight to see.
[Jim Ross] I feel like the fans at home got their money worth for a Pay Per View match from this one. Great work from both ends in that match, you could really tell they both wanted it so badly.
[Michael Cole] You can say it was a great match all you want, we all know that match stunk. Cena cheated, the ref cheated, Sheamus was screwed! That's all there is to it, but what's more important now is that we have to get to commercial break so...
*Digital Decision returns from an advertisement for XWL's next Pay-Per-View, Supremacy, and is taken backstage where “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles is approached by a cameraman, starting this impromptu interview.*
{AJ Styles} Before you say anything or ask me an obvious question Mr. Cameraman, just stand there and listen. Six days ago, I came out from the shadows and decided that after being defeated by you, Joey, not once, but twice, I was going to get one last chance at shutting you up once and for all. So I made a trip to Redemption and attacked you just like you would have done to me. Our history dates back to Final Stand a few months ago, I remember it just like it was yesterday, and I finally realized one thing, every time we are on opposite sides of the ring, you somehow manage to squirm away with the win. It happened at Final Stand when you took advantage of a naive Dolph Ziggler and walked out the new Intercontinental Champion. Then again six days before Unforgiven, when you stole the XWL 15 Championship from me. And finally at Unforgiven, when you managed to pull off a repeat performance in a rematch for said championship. Placing the blame on you would do nothing but make me sound like I'm making excuses, the fact is that I am the one to blame for those failures because I underestimated you Joey and rest assured, that will not happen again.
{AJ Styles} Tonight we have a change to compete for what is seemingly the final time and it will be in one of three matches, either an Ultimate X Match, a Tables Match, or a Steel Cage Match. I will start with the match that easily favors me and will be an XWL first, the Ultimate X Match. For those of you unaware of this match, allow me to explain it to you, two cables are connected to the four steel pillars, one on each ring post, in the shape of an X and is suspended fifteen feet above the ring. In the center of the ropes is an object hanging above the ring and the first man to retrieve it will win the match. Now the people in the arena and those watching around the world via Pay-Per-View are probably wondering the same thing, “How does this match favor you?” It's real simple, in my career, I have won two Ultimate X match long before I joined this company and how many has Joey Ryan been in? That's right, none. So obviously, this match favors me.
{AJ Styles} The second possible match that could get chosen is up Joey's alley, a Tables Match. A match so brutal that you have to beat your opponent down just to put them through a wooden table, easier said than done. Joey's history with putting people through tables is well documented, even managing to put me through one and taking me out of action not to long ago. And finally the wild card, an ominous Steel Cage Match. Surrounded by fifteen foot tall walls of steel that tower the ring, a match that can be won by pinfall, submission, or by escaping the cage. A match where flesh is guaranteed to meet steel and the sounds of pain and mental anguish are heard as well as felt for days. It is probably the most brutal match of the three choices.
{AJ Styles} Joey, five weeks ago you took my XWL 15 Championship and tonight, I will end your career, just like you tried to end mine.
*AJ walks off camera, possibly to prepare for one of the three grueling matches that could be chosen. He has to be both mentally and physically ready for the challenge ahead, will he be able to successfully defeat his rival or will “The Sleazy One” Joey Ryan come out victorious yet again? Only time will reveal that answer. With that said, Digital Decision fades to a video package for the Joey Ryan vs AJ Styles match that will pit “Sleazy” against “Phenomenal.”*
As Digital Decision continues we are brought backstage where we see Kurt Angle walking the hallways
King Look JR, it's Kurt Angle! It looks like he's ready to finally face off with Matt Morgan!
JR Finally is right, for the past month Kurt Angle has been avoiding physical confrontation with Morgan because, according to Angle, Matt Morgan is not on The Olympian's level. But if you ask me I'd tell you that Kurt Angle is scared of the seven foot giant!
Cole Well now that Angle and Big Show have united there's no giant that should be able to scare or intimidate either of them! Kurt Angle told us that Big Show will not be a factor in tonight's match so that there is no excuse that Morgan can give for losing!
King Well lets see if Angle can back up what he said... next!
We cut to a video package hyping up tonight's blockbuster main event before returning to Digital Decision where Kurt Angle's theme is blasting throughout the PA System along with the crowd's "You Suck" chants.
King Here comes XWL's one and only Olympic Gold Medalist!
Angle walks out to the stage, lifting his arms in the air as his pyro shoots off.
Justin Roberts This bout is a First Blood No Disqualification Match, introducing first, from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, He is the only Olympic Gold Medalist in the XWL... Kurt Angle!!!
The crowd's boos almost drown out Angle's music as The Olympian walks down the ramp yelling at the fans along the barricade, protesting that he does not suck.
Cole I knew it, Kurt Angle was true to his word, he told us that he would defeat Morgan without Big Show's help and now here he comes down to the ring alone. What a true American Hero! What a man of Integrity! What a role model!
Angle stops on his way down the ramp in front of a young kid decked out in John Cena attire, stupid branded wrist bands and all, proudly holding up his "You Can't See Me" sign in front of Angle who smirks at the kid and performs the You Can't See Me taunt right in his face before grabbing the brim of the kid's Cena hat and shoving it over his eyes causing the crowd to boo even louder and restart their "You Suck" chants. Angle laughs until the kids father who is wearing a Stone Cold Steve Austin Shirt begins to yell at Kurt who flips the man off with both hands and keeps yelling "What" as the father continues to yell.
JR I hope Matt Morgan gives Angle the beating that he deserves.
Angle walks away from the barricade and walks up the steps covering his ears as the crowd chants "You Suck".
Cole These people should be ashamed of themselves, Kurt Angle is an Olympic Gold Medalist, he deserves respect!
Angle walks right up to the ring announcer and snatches the microphone out of his hand
{{Kurt Angle}} Cut the music! Cut the damn music!
The music comes to an abrupt halt which only makes the booing sound even louder on it's own. Angle begins to speak but is immediately drowned out by an ear splitting "You Suck" Chant which only makes the Olympian angrier, causing him to shout into the microphone over the crowd
{{Kurt Angle}} SHUT THE HELL UP!
The crowd chants "What" in unison causing Angle to tighten up in rage as he shouts
{{Kurt Angle}} Shut up with that damn word! The next person who "What"'s me is going to get suplexed so hard that they'll break their freakin' neck!
Once again the crowd "What"'s Angle
{{Kurt Angle}} That's it! You people want a piece of me huh?
Angle slides out of the ring and begins to point at the fans along the barricade
{{Kurt Angle}} What? You think you can take me? What? You want a piece of an Olympic Gold Medalist? What? Don't make me get Big Show out here! What? What? What? What? Wha-
The crowd goes wild as Matt Morgan's theme interrupts Angle mid What.
JR Here he is, Matt Morgan, the Blueprint of Professional Wrestling!
King He's the only seven foot giant with a set of abs that's for sure!
Morgan's theme continues to play yet The Blueprint is nowhere to be seen, all of a sudden the music cuts off and the titantron shows us Matt Morgan backstage laying face down on the floor.
JR Bah Gawd! What happened! That's Matt Morgan!
Angle, who is in the ring now, begins to laugh into the microphone before speaking.
{{Kurt Angle}} Ha, Ha, Ha, Very funny Morgan. Look, I know you didn't attack me I heard and have proof that your alibi is true, so stop playing around and get you ass out here to the ring so that I can cut you open!
A few medics begin to surround Morgan as Angle continues to speak
{{Kurt Angle}} Oh come on! He's not really hurt he's faking it, he's just rubbing the fact that my attacker is now still a mystery in my face, and he will pay for it when that coward finally comes out here, oh it's true! It's Damn True!
The medics turn Morgan onto his back revealing a bloody gash on his forehead causing the crowd to "Ohhhh".
{{Kurt Angle}} Really? You never heard of fake blood? You might have gotten some acting tips from The Rock Matt Morgan, but you're not fooling me! Come out here and fight me like the man you never will be!
A stretcher is brought out and the seven foot man is heaved up onto it by four medics who begin to carry Morgan away.
{{Kurt Angle}} You better be carrying him out to the ring!
Morgan is carried into an ambulance which drives off screen before the tron turns back to it's normal state
{{Kurt Angle}} Well, Matt Morgan has left the building...
The crowd boos Kurt and restarts the "You Suck" Chants.
{{Kurt Angle}} Oh no I most certainly do not suck, but Matt Morgan's acting, Matt Morgan's attempt to get out of our match, his attempt to set me up, that sucked! Tonight was the night that I was going to dominate Matt Morgan, I was going to have him tapping yet knowing that won't end the match, I was going to show him why I'm the best wrestler alive today, but most importantly I was going to make sure that he never wanted to face me... to bother me again. But did I get the chance to? No. Because Matt Morgan chickened out, Matt Morgan was afraid to face me and rightfully so. Yet although tonight didn't go as I expected, other than Matt Morgan leaving the arena a bloody mess, I would still consider this a good night seeing as I'm still The only Olympic Gold Medalist in the XWL, The Damn True American Hero of Breakdown, The proven Best Wrestler in the World, and unlike the XWL Universe I don't Suck!
We fade to a commercial as Angle drops the mic and walks out of the ring smirking while the crowd boos and chants "You Suck"
First off, this promo is set as if the person chosen to face you hasn't been announced but if you scroll up, Big Show already announced he was chosen, so that takes a chunk of the meaning out of the promo. Talking about the possible factor of Kurt Angle interfering was good as it's something I might expect from the new team. Brushing off KOTR like it was nothing was a good heel move too, I liked this promo. It could have been a lot better if it was focusing on the chosen opponent though.
Fav Line
"Jackson was playing dead because he figured that if he didn't move I wouldn't see him."
RCP stuff
Pjay, you play Sheamus' tough guy act very well. Matt Striker questioning if Sheamus can actually beat Cena was a good way to add some bulk to the promo. The threat to him asking if he wants to lose his teeth was brilliant. I liked the point of how Sheamus doesn't want a best of series with Cena, he just wants to go out and beat him full stop. Sheamus kicking down the door and flattening the pizza guy was random, was he in his locker room then? Cena bringing the ambush to Sheamus was cool because it shows how determined he is to kick some ass. I like how the match started backstage because it made for a few neat spots and I'm glad it led out to the arena. I thought the match wound end in the ring but surprisingly it didn't, the writeup was very good. Getting the win by an AA on the car was sick, the commentary on it was fun to read too.
Fav Line
"Are you trying to lose your teeth Matthew?"
AJ got Claire pregnant
You play AJ's character well in the sense of how honest he is, he admitted that he underestimated Joey but in the same breath he shows his will and determination by vowing not to let it happen again. Bringing up the history of an Ultimate X match is good due to AJ's obvious experience, a writeup for that could be brilliant. Running through the other matches was needed I felt and you did it well, the ending line was really strong which I always love in promos. I've enjoyed the AJ/Joey stuff because they're two favourites of mine so I can't wait to see the match later on.
Fav Line
"Joey, five weeks ago you took my XWL 15 Championship and tonight, I will end your career, just like you tried to end mine."
Wait wat
This was probably the last thing I expected when I went to read the match. I thought it was a bad idea at first but now that I've thought about it more, it could be interesting. I'm curious to see whether it was Angle or someone else who attacked Morgan.

*Digital Decision is interrupted by the music of Chris Jericho, and all the lights in the arena go out, and the classic Y2J cross pose is illuminated on the stage*
*As the countdown begins to start, the fans give Jericho a mixed reaction. Some fans are chanting "Y2J" while some just boo. When the countdown finishes, the lights on the stage come back on and Jericho spins around. While Jericho soaks in the reaction from the crowd, which is still mixed. He starts to walk down the ring with his usual Jericho swagger. He gets up to the steel steps and grabs the mic that's sitting there. When he gets into the ring, he looks around the arena and starts to speak.*
{Jericho} Settle down, settle down. I know you're all excited to see me here tonight, and frankly, I'm excited too. See, for the past two months, I've had a little fly buzzing by my head, refusing to leave me alone. You all know who I'm talking about, and that fly's name is Alex Shelley. After last week though, I'll admit, he earned my respect. We spent near 30 minutes going back and forth, with heavy hitting, high impact, in your face rock-and-roll. I didn't think it possible, but the kid does know how to rock, which is something I can respect.
*The fans start chanting "High Crusade" over and over, which makes Jericho smile.*
{Jericho} Yeah, give the boy a chant, he deserves it. But, there is something that I can't respect. I can't respect the fact that after months of accusing and bitching, AND being proved wrong, that he can't man up and apologize to my face. I told that little punk that I had no reason to attack him, and that if I did, I would do it in the middle of this ring so all you people can see. So, Shelley, I think you owe me an................
*Jericho gets cut off by the theme song of Alex Shelley*
*Shelley’s theme gets its usual positive reaction from the crowd and the Detroit Native has a microphone in hand as he strolls down the ramp.*
Alex Shelley Jerichooooo! I just had to come all the way out here to see you because I just had this little feeling in the depths of my boots that you were going to come out and say what you did and when you said what you did I couldn’t help but smile because as usual I’m right. Well, I’m right, but in this one instance I was wrong because I would have bet my golden tic tac toe board that you were the one who attacked me because you had every reason to.
Alex Shelley You see I’ve been able to do the things you used to do a little bit better than you did the jokes, the hair, the music and attire, I took Chris Jericho one step further and made it Alex Shelley and I know you can’t stand to see me stand here telling you that you’re not as good as you thought you were… not anymore. So maybe I was wrong about accusing you, but I wouldn’t put it past you. I would never feel bad about accusing Chris Jericho of something that he was probably thinking about doing any way. So what if it wasn’t you before Bad Blood? It you didn’t strike then what was stopping you from striking later? Riddle me that, Jericho. Don’t pretend that I wasn’t already on your radar for quite some time.
Jericho goes to respond when the camera cuts to the stage. After a few minutes Mr. Parks appears on the stage microphone in hand. He begins walking down to the ring as Jericho and Shelley look on confused. He approaches the steps with a bit of apprehension and makes his way into the ring. He looks at both of them and clears his throat before speaking
Mr. Parks Now gentlemen, you can sit here all night and blame each other for what happened but, let me ask you this.. What’s the point in doing that? These people came here to see a fight and that’s what we’re going to give them. You two can sit there and go on and on about how you blamed him, and he blamed you but, the fact of the matter is this you already know who attacked you and that person was none other than me. You didn’t attack Shelley Chris, and Shelley Chris didn’t attack you. I did. Now, even though I’ve already explained why I did what I did, I feel I need to make one thing clear to you both. When this little incident between the three of us happened I had no clue what I was doing. So sure, the blame game was played and I made it look like you did it, or even you but, that wasn’t my intention you guys. You see.. Throughout all of this, I’ve made it my mission to get clean, to start life anew. I had a slip up and I apologize for that. However, because you two have something to settle, why don’t we take care of that right now?
Parks begins to pace for a minute before speaking again
Mr. Parks Everyone here remembers a little thing last week involving the three of us now don’t they? We had ourselves a little competition. A “battle” if you will to determine not only who’s band would reign supreme, BUT, also just who would get to choose the stipulation for our match here tonight. Now, gentlemen I have already told you that I will indeed compete in the match but, the fact remains you both need to understand that what happened is the past and we must move on. Don’t you all agree? So I say, if a match must happen let’s settle this the right way, in the middle of this ring once and for all. What do you say gentlemen?
Alex Shelley Now, what I have to say is that you have a point, Parks. There’s been too much talking, a little too much finger pointing and pulling aaaaand I think that it really is time to act like men and beat each other senseless. But there’s a catch, because as I’m sure you all know this isn’t just any ol’ pay per view, this is Digital Decision, the show where the people control everything and after Jericho and I rocked their socks off we need to know who they felt was better so we can find out who gets to pick the match. Drumroll please…
The crowd cheers as the winner of the votes is announced and Jericho looks pissed while Shelley can’t hold back his smile.
Alex Shelley Well! Looks like the people have spoken and I have the perfect match for the three of us. I’m talking about a match where things are gonna get ugly real fast, no offense Jericho, I’m talking about a match where the winner’s win can’t be called a lucky win. Right here, right now, Alex Shelley, Chris Jericho and Mr. Parks will compete in a Best 2 out of 3 Extreme Rules Match! Wait, is it best 2 of 3? Or is it… I was always better at gym than math, but what I do know is that the first person to two pins or submissions will win this match. So about we put these microphones down and get this party started?
Best 2/3 Extreme Rules Match Alex Shelley Vs Chris Jericho Vs Mr. Parks
Jim Ross And just like that Alex Shelley is in control, and the man who hails from Detroit is out of the ring and trying to roll Jericho back into the ring.
Jerry Lawler He’s got him in now and he’s calling for the Shellshock!
Michael Cole Oh no, please don’t tell me this guy is going to get the first fall.
Jerry Lawler And Shelley hits it! 1! 2! 3! Looks like your dream came true, Cole!
1...............0...............0
Jerry Lawler And now we wait for Parks to get into the ring before the Ref can call for the match to continue.
Jim Ross That could take a while, Jericho landed right on top of him when they crashed through the table. Wait a second… What is Jericho doing?
Michael Cole What a great move Jericho! Way to take charge!
Jim Ross Jericho just hit a vicious clothesline knocking both men over the top rope and sending them crashing to the ground outside the ring.
1...............1...............0
Jerry Lawler Aw man, what a vicious DDT on that steel chair… Shelley looks out of it.
Michael Cole Pin him again Jericho! Make it two in a row!
Jim Ross That’s not how it works, Cole, all three men need to be on their feet before The Ref can continue the match.
Jerry Lawler Shelley finally makes it to his feet, and just like that the action is back underway.
Jim Ross Shelley sends Jericho flying through the table once again but he may have celebrated a bit to early because now he finds himself face to face with Parks.
Jerry Lawler And he has a guitar in his hands!
Michael Cole Wham! Right in the gut with that guitar!
Jim Ross Parks now lifts Shelley into the air and drops him with a devastating Fnisher!
Jerry Lawler And Parks gets the three count to even things up at one!
1...............1...............1
Jim Ross But he looks pretty worn down, and Jericho is barely moving on the outside of the ring. This has been a brutal match and these men are definitely feeling the effects.
Michael Cole Would you get away from Shelley, Ref? Go help Jericho get back into the ring!
Jerry Lawler Okay it took a while but all three men are finally on their feet, and once again they waste no time getting down to business.
Michael Cole Turn him over Jericho! Get him!
Jim Ross Jericho’s fighting hard to get Shelley into that Walls of Jericho… and he’s got him in!
Jerry Lawler Jericho’s leaning as far back as possible but Parks doesn’t seem concerned about things at all.
Michael Cole What is he doing leaving the ring?
Jim Ross Oh no Parks has a chair in his hand and Jericho can’t see Parks sneak him behind him!
Michael Cole Jericho watch out!
Jerry Lawler Parks is rearing back and he connects with a sickening baseball swing with the chair right to the side of Jericho’s head!
Jim Ross And now Parks drops down on Jericho for the pin! 1! 2! 3! Parks has won it!
1...............1...............2
Parks rolls out of the ring but he doesn’t look happy about the win, he doesn’t seem to be feeling anything as he walks up the ramp as in some type of trance. As he heads backstage the camera cuts back to the ring where Shelley is shown pulling himself to his feet. He seems confused at first but he puts two and two together when he sees Jericho on his back and hears Parks’ music blasting through the speakers. A wave of anger or perhaps simply frustration washes over Shelley and he looks at Jericho who has yet to move. Shelley takes him Jericho by the head and works him to his feet and it looks like Shelley is thinking Sliced Bread! Shelley runs over to the turnbuckles but he only puts one foot on the middle turnbuckle stopping himself and then he drops Jericho and rolls out of the ring. The people give him an ovation for a match well fought and Shelley acknowledges them with a wave before he places his hands on his hips and steps through the curtains. Before the screen fades to the next segment the camera cuts back to the ring where Jericho lays right where Shelley dropped him.
Chavo/Kash Promo & Match First of all your descriptions are awesome. Some of the best in the league. I liked those the most in this promo. Not taking anything away from the rest of it because it was all enjoyable to read, but the descriptions of actions etc. really stand out to me. Kash's dialogue was great. Not quite sure what to think of the poem before Chavo coming out... it seemed a little random to me but it's original I guess. I can't remember anyone else in XWL doing something similar. The build up to the Inferno match and also the actual match was awesome. I particularly liked the speech parts mixed into the match. I think this is the best segment/match of the PPV so far by a country mile. You obviously put a lot of effort into this and it shows. Bravo.
Shawn Michaels Promo I really like the custom poll graphics. As I mentioned in the other reviews with people who used them they really add a lot to the match type reveal. I was hoping it'd be a ladder match so I'm pleased with the result. You play HBK well enough that I could imagine him saying the things that you had him say. The YES! part is probably my favourite part of the promo, but it was a great read from start to finish. The caps and presentation of the promo overall helped the readability (if that's even a word) a lot.
Layla Promo I couldn't get into this promo at first but when Layla started talking about her future potential contenders, it picked up and caught my attention. From thereon the promo was entertaining. I just really couldn't get into the start for some reason. I liked Layla's insults towards the other divas and her little exchange with the interviewer guy. Her harsh words to McCool has me thinking a match between the two could happen in the near future.
Christian Promo Vice you have Christian's mannerisms and speech patterns down to a tee. It was a great promo, but by the end I wanted more. It was a decent length, but I was sad when it ended. The gifs were cool too. And congrats on the XWL 15 title win.
Kurt Angle Promo #2 I didn't expect another Kurt promo after your first one for some reason but it's a nice surprise. After the first one I had high expectations for this and it didn't disappoint. I particularly liked the "wrestling matters" part and how it takes no skill to bust someone open with a weapon when referencing the First Blood match type. I also liked how Kurt emphasized his uniqueness and apparent superiority over the XWL roster by reminding everyone that he's XWL's only gold medalist. I don't think the last speech paragraph was as good as the others for some reason as it seemed to drag on a bit, but this promo was great nonetheless.
Eve Promo I'm glad you decided to turn Eve heel as I couldn't really get into your face stuff. Not that it was bad, but idk. This promo was a big improvement on the other stuff. I thought Eve would be out for a while but that doesn't seem to be the case. I look forward to more from heel Eve and expect big things in her future...
Davey Richards Promo The pictures in this promo don't show up for me which is a shame. I think they probably could have added a lot to the promo. I really enjoyed the beginning of the promo with the part about gambling and one big win, but it seemed to fall away a little then pick itself back up at the end. I think the match types breakdown could have been more entertaining but I understand why you did it the way you did. I think this promo would probably be 4* if the pics worked as it would have made reading it easier and more entertaining, for me at least.
Michael McGillicutty Promo Good to see you haven't lost a step while you've been gone. A top promo in every way. Each paragraph had a line to keep me interested and the descriptions and actions were top notch. Although it's not the longest, anyone who thinks you aren't main event worthy must be crazy after reading your promos.
JBL vs A Midget I must've missed the build up to this match somewhere along the line as this is the first I've heard of this match taking place. It's cool to have a JBL in XWL but I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I can't imagine a midget legitimately dazing JBL, and while I know this is meant to be comedic, it just seems dumb to me. The ending was a cool spot with the midget going through the car and the alarms going off, but I couldn't really get into this. I appreciate your effort though.
More reviews tomorrow...

*As Digital Decision continues the camera shows the arena from the top of the crowd as Justin Roberts announces the next match*
Justin Roberts: This following contest is a Texas Bullrope match, and the rules are as follows. There are no count outs, no time limits and no disqualifications with one exception. The match will begin then both competitors are firmly attached to either end of the Bullrope and if at any point in the match should either competitors intentionally detach themselves from the Bullrope they will be automatically disqualified. The only ways to win are by pinfall or by touching all four corners of the ring in succession, and should the competitors momentum be halted the process will be stopped and begin all over again. This will continue until there is a winner.
*As Roberts finishes introducing the match, the theme of Long Island Iced Z begins to play through the PA system once again to the delight of the crowd*
*As Zack walks out onto the stage to much delight from the crowd, with camera in hand he leans back and shouts his catchphrase !Woo Woo Woo" right into his camera lens, then begins to make his way to the ring*
Justin Roberts: First making his way to the ring, from Long Island New York, weighing in the 214 pounds, Long Island Iced Z! Zack Ryder!
Michael Cole: Oh great, this guy again, hasn't he had enough of losing tonight already? Hey Ryder where's your belt gone?!
Jim Ross: Oh stop it Cole, Ryder might not be X-Treme champion anymore but to him this is more important, he wants retribution on Cody Rhodes after that vile assault on him after their match at Unforgiven costing him a week of competition, and taking over Zack's show Z1 True Long Island Story making a mockery of him in doing so.
*When Ryder gets halfway down the ramp he makes a phone gesture with his hand and holds it up against his ear and shouts "Call Me!"*
Jerry Lawler: Hold on a second JR, Cole does actually have a point
Michael Cole: I do? I mean damn right I do! I'm the voice of the XWL!
Jerry Lawler: Oh shut up Cole, I'm just saying Zack's already had a match tonight against Big Zeke and lost, how much can he have left in the tank for this huge match against Cody Rhodes?
*As Zack reaches ringside, he approaches a child in the front row and puts his Broski headband on the child then jumps up on the ring apron and climbs the turnbuckle and holds up the LI sign with his hands*
Jim Ross: I guess so King, but you can't deny that this kid has guts and he's got talent and he's not going into this match wanting anything less then a win.
Michael Cole: Well I don't think he's going to be able to do that, he's already lost once tonight, and against a guy as dangerous as Cody Rhodes I don't see this one ending in any other way with a big loss with this little jerk!
*As Zack descends the turnbuckle, he enters the ring and removes his t-shirt then throws it into crowd and his theme slowly fades out*
Jerry Lawler: I don't get your problem with Zack Ryder, Cole. He's popular, he's funny, he's a good wrestler, how can't you like this kid?
Michael Cole: He's a disgrace that's how King, look at him with his Broski's and his Ryder Revolution's, what's he done to deserve everything he's got here in XWL? So what if he has his own little show, anyone could do that.
*After about ten seconds of waiting a voice is heard on a microphone and is met by a chorus of boo's*
???: Attention please!
*As soon as the voice ends the theme of Cody Rhodes begins to play as the boos from the crowd continue*
*As Cody walks out onto the stage, in a full length ring jacket he holds it's hood over his hood then flings in back then begins to walk towards the ring*
Justin Roberts: And his opponent from Marietta, Georgia, weighing in at 215 pounds, Cody Rhodes!
Michael Cole: And here is his opponent the Dashingly Insane Cody Rhodes! Who tweeted last week after Digital Decision it's time to save something else, obviously referring to him tonight saving us all from the Ryder Revolution, and I have to say, it's about time!
Jim Ross: Well Cole, I'm not sure if your memory serves you too well but Cody Rhodes tried to save XWL before and it didn't work out too well for him, he see's himself as a martyr, a modern day saviour, but from where I'm sitting I just see a mad man and his deluded ramblings.
Jerry Lawler: I'm not a fan of Cody Rhodes and that's not secret, but I do respect him when he steps in that ring, he's got a whole lot of talent, and believe me when I say he's destined for great things if he applies himself and a victory over Zack Ryder tonight as well as a possible World championship shot next week could catapult him into a true major player in XWL.
*As Cody reaches half way down the ramp he suddenly stops and stares at someone in the front row who's clearly yelling abuse at Cody, then he shrugs it off and continues to walk down to the ring*
Michael Cole: I could argue that he already is a major player in XWL and on Redemption, he's a future World champion you can't deny that, he's focused, he's calculating and he does exactly what he needs to do to get the job done.
Jim Ross: Get the job done? This is a man who tried to hold the entire company hostage, a man who tried to end Zack Ryder's career, not once but twice, he doesn't just do what he needs to do to get the job done, he tries to destroy everyone and everything in his path, and you know what? I bet he enjoys every second of it.
*As Cody reaches the ring he walks up the ring steps and wipes the bottom of his shoes on the apron then enters the ring and removes his jacket*
Jerry Lawler: I'm sure he does JR, this man is dangerous and I hope Zack Ryder knows what he's getting himself into, not only is he facing a focused and fresh Cody Rhodes but in such a physically and mentally testing match like this one and it's got a feeling that only one man will be walking out of this one.
Michael Cole: And it's going to be that man, Cody Rhodes, this is a match his father Dusty Rhodes made famous, his family are masters of this match, Zack Ryder's own fans have voted for his downfall here tonight and I can't wait for this own to get underway.
*As Cody's theme fades out the two competitors are facing each other of opposite sides of the ring shouting at each other clearly both more than ready to start the match up*
Cody Rhodes Vs Zack Ryder Texas Bull Rope Match
As the two men stand in opposite corners of the ring to each other the referee is handed the rope with cowbell in the middle, and he takes one end and walks over to Zack Ryder, tying it to his right arm, then pulls on it three time to ensure that it's done up tight enough, then he takes the other side of the rope and approaches Cody Rhodes tying that end to Cody's right arm and pulls on it to make sure it's tight enough, then the referee signals for the bell to ring as the crowd begin to chant "Let's go Ryder!
Jim Ross: And we're underway in this Texas Bullrope match, Cody Rhodes vs. Zack Ryder, and if you know your wrestling history then you'd know the Rhodes family know a thing or two about Texas Bullrope matches. Cody's father Dusty famed for such epic encounters with the likes of Superstar Billy Graham, Kevin Sullivan and Randy Orton, but for the two men stood in the ring right now this is brand new territory for them.
Jerry Lawler: You're right JR, and I'm sure Cody would of been picking his dad's brain as much as he could about a Texas Bullrope match and what to expect, but really there's not much you can expect in these kinds of matches, anything goes here tonight and I'm sure both men will try to use that to their advantage.
The second the bell rings Cody pulls on the rope and begins to wrap the rope around his arm as the two men circle around the ring with the distance between them getting shorter and shorter with each coil around Cody's arm. As Cody coils the rope half way he stops wrapping it around his arm and he grabs hold of the Cowbell dangling in the middle of it.
Michael Cole: That's a great tactic there by Cody Rhodes, the Cowbell right there can be lethal, if he can hit Ryder with it now, it could be over and done with early.
Cody wildly swings at Ryder with the Cowbell in his hands but Zack goes down low and dropkicks Cody in the knee's sending his to the mat, and quickly unravels the rope from around his arm, then begins to club Cody's back as he gets to his feet, then pushes him into the ropes before whipping across the ring, and upon the rebound Ryder hit's Cody in the midsection with a knee, then quickly gets Cody in a chin lock on the mat who slides out of it easily before it can be properly applied.
Jim Ross: And that's sound strategy by Ryder there too, but Cody was just too aware to be dealt any serious damage. You've can say what you like about Cody Rhodes, but wrestling is in his blood and you’re going to have to catch him off guard if you're going to be bale to put him away this soon.
As Cody gets to his feet before Ryder he kicks Zack in the chest then mounts him and begins hitting him with a flurry of punches to get head as the crowd begin to boo him he gets of Zack and soaks in the anger from the Las Vegas crowd.
Jim Ross: I can't say this is too wise on Cody's part here, he had Ryder right where he wanted him, and he should keep on top of his opponent instead of time wasting.
Cody walks over to a turnbuckle and touches it, then walks across the ring towards the second one.
Michael Cole: That's one turnbuckle for Cody just three more to go!
When Cody gets near the second turnbuckle has touches it, and the referee signals two, but behind Cody, Ryder now back now his feet, pulls the rope up, effectively Low Blowing Cody with the rope causing the turnbuckle count to reset.
Jerry Lawler: Well that's one way to his your opponents momentum, aha! What a move by Zack Ryder.
Michael Cole: I thought it was a cheap shot if anything King, that was a cheap shot.
Zack grabs Cody by the head and puts up against the turnbuckle, then climbs up to the second rope and begins delivering punch and punch as the crowd keeps count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...9, Cody then grabs Zack's legs and pulls them forward, but knowing what happened last time they met Zack manages to grab hold of the top ropes before his head hits the top turnbuckle, and Cody let's go of Ryder's legs and quickly grabs the Cowbell off the mat, and hit's Ryder in the back with it before he can turn around.
Jim Ross: What a shot by Cody Rhodes, you could just hear the bell hit Ryder's spine, what a sickening sound and it must be killing him right now!
Cody then picks up the slack in the rope and wraps it around Ryder's neck on the mat twice and tightens it, before pulls back choking Ryder in a camel clutch position as Ryder reaches out trying to grab hold of anything he possibly can, before Cody can choke him out.
Michael Cole: Cody Rhodes is in firm control of this one!
As Zack tries to keep himself in the fight, Cody continues to choke Ryder until he body begins to go limp and he stops putting up a fight, then Cody lets go of the rope and untangles the rope from around Zack's neck, then walks over to a turnbuckle and hits it, as the referee shouts one!
Jerry Lawler: And once again Cody has got the first turnbuckle, and it looks like Ryder isn't going to move anytime soon, this match could be over already.
Taking his time Cody walks over to a second turnbuckle and hits it two as the referee shouts two.
Michael Cole: That's two, Cody's half way there, just two more to go and the entire world will know that Zack Ryder's fifteen minutes are up, and Cody Rhodes is the man.
As the crowd boo the apparent end to the match, Cody slowly walks over to the third turnbuckle then hits it as the referee shouts three. Then Cody slowly walks over to the final turnbuckle as Zack begins pulling on the Bullrope trying to get Cody as far away from the turnbuckle as possible, as Ryder reels in the rope and tries to pull Cody to the middle of the ring and Cody pulls back inching himself closer to the final turnbuckle and reaches out to touch it, but he's still too far away to get it, but then as he turns around Zack charges at him going for the Rough Ryder but Cody lifts Zack above his head and he hits the turnbuckle head first and staggers backwards into a Cross Rhodes and he goes for the cover
1!
2!
...
Ryder kicks out at a late late two count as the crowd cheer him on!
Jim Ross: That was real close right there, and because of the pin attempt the referee has rest the corner count, if you ask me that could be a huge mistake by Cody Rhodes.
Jerry Lawler: All he had to do was touch that one last turnbuckle, and he was so close to it, and the match would of been over, that could cost him big time.
Cody turns to the referee shouting at him and berating him convinced that it was a three count which the referee replies telling him it was only two, then Cody turns his attention back to Zack Ryder waiting for Ryder to get back to his feet, and as he slowly does so, Cody charges at the ropes, rebounding off the middle rope going for a Disaster Kick directed to the head of his opponent, but almost out of nowhere Ryder swings with the Cowbell in the middle of the rope and connects with the inside of Cody's knee, but falls on Ryder sending both men crashing to the mat, with Cody clutching his knee, and Ryder feeling his back where Cody previously struck it with the Cowbell, and in the collision Ryder's end of the rope becomes undone.
Jim Ross: What a desperation maneuver by Ryder, and it could just turn the tide of the match in his favour if he can capitalise.
Michael Cole: Ryder's rope has come off his arm, you know what this means don't you?!
Jerry Lawler: Calm down Cole, it was clearly unintentional, and the rules clearly state he will only get disqualified if he intentionally removes it.
The referee goes over the Ryder and reattaches his end of the rope to his right arm, Cody crawls into a corner of the ring as Ryder goes on the attack stomping Cody in the gut a few times then he backs off him and the crowd begin to cheer when Zack clenches his fist.
Jerry Lawler: You know what's coming now Cole!
Michael Cole: This is so stupid, somebody stop this..
As Ryder fist pumps three times he along with the crowd shout "Woo Woo Woo" then he charges at Cody and hit's him on the side of the face with a stiff boot!
Jim Ross: What a boot by Ryder to the side of Cody's face!
As Cody crawls into the middle of the ring, Zack climbs up the turnbuckle backwards, so not to get the Bullrope caught between the ring ropes and positions himself on the top, and feels his back, still feeling the effects for the Cowbell earlier in the match.
Jerry Lawler: Ryder's preparing to take a risk here, it's all or nothing right now.
Taking advantage of Zack's time wasting Cody dives at the ropes, causing Ryder to slip and fall groin first on the turnbuckle, then walks over the Ryder delivering a few punches to his head, then climbing up to the second turnbuckle and repositioning Ryder's legs for a Superplex, then hooks Ryder's arm, but Zack begins to deliver body blow after body blow then pushes Cody off the ropes and repositions himself on the top rope.
Jim Ross: Now’s your opportunity kid, you better take it while you can.
Cody quickly thinking, rebounds himself off the second rope and throws himself at Ryder and hits him on the side of the head with a Disaster Kick! And Zack does everything he can do to not fall to the outside.
Michael Cole: What a shot by Cody Rhodes! Ryder is out on his feet right now.
Cody then grabs the Bullrope and wraps it around Zack's neck again and pushes him out of the ring, hanging him from the top turnbuckle and Ryder kicks him his legs and tries to loosen the knot with his hands trying to breathe and Cody wrenches on the other side of the turnbuckle, literally squeezing the life out of Ryder.
Jim Ross: By god King, Cody is hanging Zack Ryder, this is too far damn it, have some decency damn it!
After a few seconds, Cody loosens his grip on the excess rope allowing Ryder to slump onto the mat outside the ring, then Cody pulling the rope with him walking around the ring over to Zack whilst he holds the Cowbell in his hands.
Michael Cole: Ryder doesn't even know where he is, isn't this great? He's learnt the hard way tonight that the Ryder Revolution is well a truly dead!
As Cody stands over Ryder, he stands in waiting as the boo rampantly boo him as a sadistic smile comes across Cody's face clearly enjoying the destruction of Zack Ryder. Then as Zack gets up to one knee, Cody swings the Cowbell and clocks Zack across the top of the head with it, as the thud echoes around the arena.
Jim Ross: What a sickening shot by Cody Rhodes right there. Did you here that? It was like a damn gun shot!
As the cameraman tries to get a close up of Ryder, a pool of blood is collecting underneath Ryder's head on the floor as it pour's out his skull.
Jerry Lawler: Look at all that blood JR, Ryder could be in some serious trouble right now, Cody Rhodes is all business tonight!
*The crowd gasps as the referee goes to check on Ryder. He picks his head up as he tries to get up and the camera zooms in on the deep cut. Another camera angle shows Cody Rhodes standing tall in the ring with a smirk on his face. He raises his fist high in the air as the crowd boos, Zack Ryder collapsing again. Cody looks down at him before making his way over to the first turnbuckle.*
Michael Cole: He's gonna do it! Come on Cody!
*He takes his time and he hits the first turnbuckle. He drags Ryder along with him as he reaches the second turnbuckle. The crowd continues to jeer him as he approaches the third turnbuckle. Suddenly, Zack jolts up in an act of desperation as he stops Cody from reaching the third one. Rhodes is dazed and he gets tossed over the top by a huge clothesline!*
Jim Ross: What heart from young Zack Ryder! He will fight until the end!
Jerry Lawler: Wait a minute, look at this!
*The bull rope is hung over the top as Cody is on the outside. Zack seizes the opportunity as he yanks on the rope, sending Cody right into the apron! The crowd cheers as Zack does it again! And again! And again! He finally stops as Rhodes is flabbergasted on the outside.*
Michael Cole: Oh come on! That's just inhumane!
*Zack climbs onto the apron with all the blood dripping from his forehead, but suddenly Cody pulls on the rope himself and he goes crashing down to the floor! The crowd gasps again as Rhodes head to the other side of the steps.*
Jerry Lawler: Zack Ryder is out like a light!
*The rope is resting on the steps as Cody waits for his rival, the former X-Treme Champion, to get up. Cody's eyes are locked dead on Ryder as he begins to get up. He is on one knee and he is in a complete daze. The crowd starts a 'LET'S GO RYDER' chant once more. Ryder finally gets up to his feet as Cody tugs on the rope. Zack goes full force towards the steps, but he uses the momentum to his advantage as he leaps onto the steps and jumps off, hitting a super Rough Ryder on Cody!*
Jim Ross: Bah gawd! Zack just took Cody and himself out of this match!
Michael Cole: This is insane!
*The crowd is in a frenzy as both men are laid out on the outside. We are taken to a replay of Zack leaping over the steps and hitting the Rough Ryder. The referee hops to the outside and checks on both men. They are both still for a few moments before Ryder starts to show some life. He picks up Cody before tossing him back into the ring. He gets back into the ring himself as the referee follows. The fatigue is still shown on both men as Zack is forced to crawl over to Rhodes to try and make the pin fall attempt. After a few more sluggish moments, he finally reach and flips Cody over. He hooks the leg and the referee begins counting.*
1!
2!
Kickout!
Michael Cole: Yes! Come on Cody! That's some real heart right there, JR!
*Zack asks the ref "Two? Are you serious Bro?" and the referee assures him it was only a two count. He is clearly frustrated as he heads back over to Cody, but Rhodes clips him at the knee. Cody lifts him up for the Alabama Slam, but it is countered and Ryder goes for a sunset flip! It is stopped halfway, however, and Zack is met with a huge kick to the skull. He's out once more as Cody begins to just stomp away at him and shouting things such as "YOU'RE A JOKE. I'M ENDING YOU." Ryder begins to stir as he pops up to one knee. Cody notices this and he runs over towards the ropes and jumps up for the Beautiful Disaster, only for Zack to pull the rope!*
Jim Ross: Simple, yet an effective tactic from Ryder!
*Cody falls hard to the mat as the 'Long Island Iced Z' finally makes it back to his feet. He grabs a hold of the cowbell and waits for his rival to get up. The camera zooms up on his bloodied face which also shares an intense look. He motions for Cody to get up as he shouts "GET UP!" Rhodes finally does and Ryder charges, clocking him with the cowbell right in the head!*
Michael Cole: Oh no! Somebody stops this! Quick!
Jerry Lawler: You know what they say, Cole. What comes around goes around.
*Cody is in a complete daze as the camera zooms up on his face. Blood is gushing out as he falls to the mat.*
Michael Cole: Please! Somebody do something! That's our savior!
Jim Ross: Oh zip it, Cole. Cody wanted this match and he sure as hell got it.
*The referee checks on Cody as Zack limps over to a turnbuckle. As he staggers over to the second one Rhodes gets up and touches the first one. Ryder finally reaches the second one as Cody quickly hits it himself. By the time they reach the third one they catch on to what is happening. They both touch it at the same time before they start throwing punches. The crowd cheers every time Ryder hits a bunch and they boo every time Cody hits one.*
Michael Cole: You're so close, Cody! Just one more!
Jerry Lawler: Hey! Zack is just one away too!
*They keep hitting each other with rights and lefts, and with each punch it takes them further back. Eventually the both go for a clothesline and they take each other out. The crowd breaks into a 'THIS IS AWESOME' chant as they lay on the mat, motionless. The referee checks on both men as we can see the clear anguish on both of their faces. The blood continues to drip down their bodies as they finally begin to move again. They turn over to their stomachs as they share a glance. The both begin crawling as fast as they can to other turnbuckle.*
Jim Ross: Would you look at this! These two men are literally crawling and scratching for this victory.
Jerry Lawler: Oh JR you can see the bad blood between these two men, literally!
*As they continue crawling to the fourth and final turnbuckle, Cody stands up and pulls Ryder back. He then leaps for the turnbuckle himself, but Zack uses a similar strategy and pulls Cody back. He goes for another punch, but it is blocked. Rhodes turns him around and grabs him by the head, aiming for the Cross Rhodes. He gets pushed and he heads towards the ropes, so he takes advantage and he connects with the Beautiful Disaster! The crowd boos as Rhodes goes in for the cover.*
1!
2!
Kickout!
Jim Ross: These men just won't quit!
Jerry Lawler: These two just hate each other so much, they won't allow the other to win!
Michael Cole: Well Zack Ryder better be getting ready to lose!
*Cody is engulfed with rage as he crouches of Zack's body. He lifts up his head and just starts striking away with his right hand. He pours right after right after right into the cut, opening it up even more. The crowd boos as the blood trickles from Zack Ryder's skull and it ends up following onto Cody's wrist tape. Eventually Cody gives up and he looks down at his hand, smirking.*
Jim Ross: That's just disturbing!
*The referee checks on Ryder as Rhodes grabs the cowbell once more. Zack starts to move again, although it's clear he doesn't have much of an idea to where he is. Cody continues stalking him as he gets up and he swings the cowbell once more, but Ryder is able to kick him in the gut just in the nick of time. He grabs the cowbell himself and rams it right in Cody's gut! Cody drops to a knee as Ryder goes behind and raises the cowbell, driving it into the back of his skull! Cody plops to the mat with a thud as Ryder covers.*
1!
2!
Kickout!
Michael Cole: Yes! Come on Cody!
Jerry Lawler: Oh, Cole, Cody's on dream street after that shot!
*As Cody starts to become awake from the massive shot, Zack ascends to the top rope. He tugs on the rope and Cody comes crashing into the corner. He picks him up and plops him on the middle rope, setting up for who knows what. Rhodes begins to fight back as he starts hitting Zack with shot after shot. He hooks his arm and aims for a Superplex, but then Ryder starts to fight back. The crowd pops as both men step onto the top rope and they start trading punches. Just like before they boo when Cody hits one and they cheer whenever Zack hits one.*
Michael Cole: These people are ridiculous! That's their savior! Have some respect!
Jim Ross: Like how Cody respects everybody else?
Michael Cole: Yeah!
*In a horrific turn of events, both of the men lose their balance and Ryder goes tumbling to the floor. Cody's luck is somehow even worse, as he gets tangled in the rope and is now tied upside to the turnbuckle. He hangs above the floor as blood continues to drip down from his forehead and splash onto the floor, making another pool of blood.*
Jim Ross: This is just sick! Ryder is unconscious on the outside while Cody is hanging over him!
Jerry Lawler: JR, you want to talk about slobber knockers, well you got one here.
Jim Ross: You're right about that, King.
*Ryder crawls over to the barricade and he uses it to help himself get up. The crowd pats him on the back as he does so. Once he turns around he notices Cody dangling from the corner. He looks around for a moment before raising his fist in the air, calling for the Broksi Boot. Cody's eyes grow wide as he shouts "NO! NO! NO!"*
Michael Cole: Oh come on, not this again!
*With each pump the crowd exclaims "WOO!" as Ryder charges, connecting with another huge Broski Boot!*
Jerry Lawler: AAAAHHHH!
*The massive shot unties Cody and he falls to the apron. Ryder pushes him back into the ring before sliding in himself. Cody is in a dazed state as his rival is calling for him to get up. Zack flashes his signature 'LI' taunt as Rhodes is finally staggering on his feet. He charges and goes for the Rough Ryder, but Cody tosses him overhead and he lands right on the turnbuckle! Zack is loopy as the 'Dashingly Insane One' tugs on the rope, sending him hard into the mat. The crowd lets out a big gasp as he lands on his neck. The referee tries to check on him, but Cody pushes him away. The referee backs up, knowing what Cody did to the other poor ref, as he grabs Ryder. He hoists him up and sends him back down with another Alabama Slam.*
Jim Ross: These men are taking each other to hell and back tonight, you can see the fatigue and anguish on their faces.
*As both men begin to get up, Cody goes off the ropes looking for the Beautiful Disaster. Ryder is able to duck, and he knocks out the referee!*
Jerry Lawler: Oh no! The referee is knocked out!
Michael Cole: Everybody is a victim in this match!
*Ryder goes for a clothesline, but Cody ducks it and nails him with the Silver Spoon DDT! Zack is knocked out as Cody takes notice to the referee being knocked out, and he smirks.*
Jim Ross: Oh, what is he thinking here?
*Cody kneels down to a knee and he starts fiddling with the rope around his wrist. After awhile, he unties himself!*
Jim Ross: You son of a bitch!
Jerry Lawler: Hey! He can't do that!
Michael Cole: There's no referee! Anything goes! Ha ha!
*Cody mocks everyone about him being free as he starts to do jumping jacks in the center of the ring with a smirk on the face, basking in the jeers from the Las Vegas crowd.*
Jim Ross: Would you look at this? What a jackass.
*A now free Cody goes outside of the ring as he continues to bask in the boo's. He goes over to Justin Roberts where he throws the staff out of his way. He grabs a chair and folds it before heading towards the ring. He slides in and as Zack begins to get up, he stalks his prey.*
Jerry Lawler: Don't turn around Zack, you might not like the view!
*Zack does indeed turn around, and he gets blasted right in the head with the chair! He falls to the mat and you can see the blood stain on the chair. Cody isn't done with the chair yet, however. He stands besides Zack's prone body and he raises the chair. He proceeds to smack him in the back with it again and again and again. The crowd cringes at each shot as Ryder is no left at the mercy of the ever so sadistic and ruthless Cody Rhodes.*
Jim Ross: This is sick! Somebody stop this!
*Cody flips him over and he unfolds the chair. He props it onto Zack's throat and sits on it himself, forcing all his weight right on his throat, choking him out. He then calls for a microphone and Justin Roberts begrudgingly hands him over one.*
[Cody Rhodes] ATTENTION PLEASE.
*The crowd jeers him as he begins to speak, but he the boo's nearly drown his voice out.*
[Cody Rhodes] Zack, I hope that you're laying there as uncomfortable as possible. Now, as for me? I'm just about on cloud nine right now. I'm smiling from ear to ear as I currently look down at a poor excuse of a wrestler who takes up MY time drowning in a pool of his own blood and failure. And I hope you're enjoying being all tied up at the moment Zack, because I have not only freed myself from the rope, but I have also liberated myself from you. And that is the important part. That is my mission; and now I can do whatever I want! I can do some more jumping jacks!
*Cody gets up and does a few more jumping jacks to the demise of the crowd.*
[Cody Rhodes] I can do pushups!
*Cody begins to do five or so pushups in the ring.*
[Cody Rhodes] I can even fist pump.
*He then begins mocking Ryder by doing fist pumps over his near lifeless body.*
[Cody Rhodes] WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!
Jim Ross: I can't stand this kid. What a jackass.
Michael Cole: I love him! He's Redemption's Finest!
*Cody begins to laugh as Ryder pokes his head up. Rhodes' smile quickly turns into a cold stare as he drives the microphone into his skull. The thud echos around the arena as he tosses the microphone out of the ring. Cody then notices the referee stirring, so he quickly throws the chair out of the ring and retires himself to the rope.*
Michael Cole: Ha ha! Beautiful! What a genius!
*As Cody tries to quickly retie himself, he doesn't he notice Ryder getting up. The crowd is going insane as when he finally turns around, he gets blasted by the Rough Ryder! The roof nearly blows off the arena as Ryder hooks the leg for the cover.*
1!
2!
KICKOUT! KICKOUT! KICKOUT!
Jerry Lawler: Oh, come on Ryder!
*The referee just gets up and Ryder helps him to his feet. His kindness turns to a mistake as Cody pulls on the rope and he goes flying back right into a low blow! Cody quickly takes advantage and hits the Cross Rhodes, covering!*
1!
2!
3!
*DING DING DING*
Michael Cole: YES! YES! REDEMPTION'S FINEST! CODY RHODES! THE RYDER REVOLUTION IS DEAD!
Jim Ross: Shut your mouth, Cole.
Michael Cole: Don't be mad at me! The Zack Pack did this to Ryder tonight! His blood is on their hands!
Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the match, Cody Rhodes!
*Cody lets out a loud roar as he theme song blasts over the arena.*
Jerry Lawler: Well, Cody proved how dangerous he really is tonight.
*The referee raises his hand in victory as he yells at him to untie the rope, which he does.*
Jim Ross: These two young men put everything on the line here tonight. They will never ever be the same, and after such a great contest, it's a damn shame Cody had to win it like that.
Michael Cole: It's not cheating if you don't get caught!
*The referee tends to Zack Ryder while Cody celebrates his win on the turnbuckle with a devious smirk on his face.*
Jim Ross: Folks this was a brutal contest so let's take a look back on some of our most brutal and memorable moments from this slobber knocker.
*Replays show multiple events from the match such as the massive collision that knocked Ryder loose, Ryder being busted open, the super Rough Ryder, the Broski Boot on the outside, and the final Cross Rhodes that sealed the deal.*
Jerry Lawler: Oh man, these two will never be the same again. What a brutal match.
*The scene fades off as Cody Rhodes is now on the stage. Zack Ryder is helped to the back by the referee as Cody raises his fist in the air. The camera zooms up on his blood drained face with a little smirk popping through.*
The line represents who did what. Bang did the first half and I did the second half. Props to Bang for the amazing commentary at the start.

Reposting this awesome write up that everybody should read so it's not buried at the bottom of the page.
*As Digital Decision continues the camera shows the arena from the top of the crowd as Justin Roberts announces the next match*
Justin Roberts: This following contest is a Texas Bullrope match, and the rules are as follows. There are no count outs, no time limits and no disqualifications with one exception. The match will begin then both competitors are firmly attached to either end of the Bullrope and if at any point in the match should either competitors intentionally detach themselves from the Bullrope they will be automatically disqualified. The only ways to win are by pinfall or by touching all four corners of the ring in succession, and should the competitors momentum be halted the process will be stopped and begin all over again. This will continue until there is a winner.
*As Roberts finishes introducing the match, the theme of Long Island Iced Z begins to play through the PA system once again to the delight of the crowd*
*As Zack walks out onto the stage to much delight from the crowd, with camera in hand he leans back and shouts his catchphrase !Woo Woo Woo" right into his camera lens, then begins to make his way to the ring*
Justin Roberts: First making his way to the ring, from Long Island New York, weighing in the 214 pounds, Long Island Iced Z! Zack Ryder!
Michael Cole: Oh great, this guy again, hasn't he had enough of losing tonight already? Hey Ryder where's your belt gone?!
Jim Ross: Oh stop it Cole, Ryder might not be X-Treme champion anymore but to him this is more important, he wants retribution on Cody Rhodes after that vile assault on him after their match at Unforgiven costing him a week of competition, and taking over Zack's show Z1 True Long Island Story making a mockery of him in doing so.
*When Ryder gets halfway down the ramp he makes a phone gesture with his hand and holds it up against his ear and shouts "Call Me!"*
Jerry Lawler: Hold on a second JR, Cole does actually have a point
Michael Cole: I do? I mean damn right I do! I'm the voice of the XWL!
Jerry Lawler: Oh shut up Cole, I'm just saying Zack's already had a match tonight against Big Zeke and lost, how much can he have left in the tank for this huge match against Cody Rhodes?
*As Zack reaches ringside, he approaches a child in the front row and puts his Broski headband on the child then jumps up on the ring apron and climbs the turnbuckle and holds up the LI sign with his hands*
Jim Ross: I guess so King, but you can't deny that this kid has guts and he's got talent and he's not going into this match wanting anything less then a win.
Michael Cole: Well I don't think he's going to be able to do that, he's already lost once tonight, and against a guy as dangerous as Cody Rhodes I don't see this one ending in any other way with a big loss with this little jerk!
*As Zack descends the turnbuckle, he enters the ring and removes his t-shirt then throws it into crowd and his theme slowly fades out*
Jerry Lawler: I don't get your problem with Zack Ryder, Cole. He's popular, he's funny, he's a good wrestler, how can't you like this kid?
Michael Cole: He's a disgrace that's how King, look at him with his Broski's and his Ryder Revolution's, what's he done to deserve everything he's got here in XWL? So what if he has his own little show, anyone could do that.
*After about ten seconds of waiting a voice is heard on a microphone and is met by a chorus of boo's*
???: Attention please!
*As soon as the voice ends the theme of Cody Rhodes begins to play as the boos from the crowd continue*
*As Cody walks out onto the stage, in a full length ring jacket he holds it's hood over his hood then flings in back then begins to walk towards the ring*
Justin Roberts: And his opponent from Marietta, Georgia, weighing in at 215 pounds, Cody Rhodes!
Michael Cole: And here is his opponent the Dashingly Insane Cody Rhodes! Who tweeted last week after Digital Decision it's time to save something else, obviously referring to him tonight saving us all from the Ryder Revolution, and I have to say, it's about time!
Jim Ross: Well Cole, I'm not sure if your memory serves you too well but Cody Rhodes tried to save XWL before and it didn't work out too well for him, he see's himself as a martyr, a modern day saviour, but from where I'm sitting I just see a mad man and his deluded ramblings.
Jerry Lawler: I'm not a fan of Cody Rhodes and that's not secret, but I do respect him when he steps in that ring, he's got a whole lot of talent, and believe me when I say he's destined for great things if he applies himself and a victory over Zack Ryder tonight as well as a possible World championship shot next week could catapult him into a true major player in XWL.
*As Cody reaches half way down the ramp he suddenly stops and stares at someone in the front row who's clearly yelling abuse at Cody, then he shrugs it off and continues to walk down to the ring*
Michael Cole: I could argue that he already is a major player in XWL and on Redemption, he's a future World champion you can't deny that, he's focused, he's calculating and he does exactly what he needs to do to get the job done.
Jim Ross: Get the job done? This is a man who tried to hold the entire company hostage, a man who tried to end Zack Ryder's career, not once but twice, he doesn't just do what he needs to do to get the job done, he tries to destroy everyone and everything in his path, and you know what? I bet he enjoys every second of it.
*As Cody reaches the ring he walks up the ring steps and wipes the bottom of his shoes on the apron then enters the ring and removes his jacket*
Jerry Lawler: I'm sure he does JR, this man is dangerous and I hope Zack Ryder knows what he's getting himself into, not only is he facing a focused and fresh Cody Rhodes but in such a physically and mentally testing match like this one and it's got a feeling that only one man will be walking out of this one.
Michael Cole: And it's going to be that man, Cody Rhodes, this is a match his father Dusty Rhodes made famous, his family are masters of this match, Zack Ryder's own fans have voted for his downfall here tonight and I can't wait for this own to get underway.
*As Cody's theme fades out the two competitors are facing each other of opposite sides of the ring shouting at each other clearly both more than ready to start the match up*
Cody Rhodes Vs Zack Ryder Texas Bull Rope Match
As the two men stand in opposite corners of the ring to each other the referee is handed the rope with cowbell in the middle, and he takes one end and walks over to Zack Ryder, tying it to his right arm, then pulls on it three time to ensure that it's done up tight enough, then he takes the other side of the rope and approaches Cody Rhodes tying that end to Cody's right arm and pulls on it to make sure it's tight enough, then the referee signals for the bell to ring as the crowd begin to chant "Let's go Ryder!
Jim Ross: And we're underway in this Texas Bullrope match, Cody Rhodes vs. Zack Ryder, and if you know your wrestling history then you'd know the Rhodes family know a thing or two about Texas Bullrope matches. Cody's father Dusty famed for such epic encounters with the likes of Superstar Billy Graham, Kevin Sullivan and Randy Orton, but for the two men stood in the ring right now this is brand new territory for them.
Jerry Lawler: You're right JR, and I'm sure Cody would of been picking his dad's brain as much as he could about a Texas Bullrope match and what to expect, but really there's not much you can expect in these kinds of matches, anything goes here tonight and I'm sure both men will try to use that to their advantage.
The second the bell rings Cody pulls on the rope and begins to wrap the rope around his arm as the two men circle around the ring with the distance between them getting shorter and shorter with each coil around Cody's arm. As Cody coils the rope half way he stops wrapping it around his arm and he grabs hold of the Cowbell dangling in the middle of it.
Michael Cole: That's a great tactic there by Cody Rhodes, the Cowbell right there can be lethal, if he can hit Ryder with it now, it could be over and done with early.
Cody wildly swings at Ryder with the Cowbell in his hands but Zack goes down low and dropkicks Cody in the knee's sending his to the mat, and quickly unravels the rope from around his arm, then begins to club Cody's back as he gets to his feet, then pushes him into the ropes before whipping across the ring, and upon the rebound Ryder hit's Cody in the midsection with a knee, then quickly gets Cody in a chin lock on the mat who slides out of it easily before it can be properly applied.
Jim Ross: And that's sound strategy by Ryder there too, but Cody was just too aware to be dealt any serious damage. You've can say what you like about Cody Rhodes, but wrestling is in his blood and you’re going to have to catch him off guard if you're going to be bale to put him away this soon.
As Cody gets to his feet before Ryder he kicks Zack in the chest then mounts him and begins hitting him with a flurry of punches to get head as the crowd begin to boo him he gets of Zack and soaks in the anger from the Las Vegas crowd.
Jim Ross: I can't say this is too wise on Cody's part here, he had Ryder right where he wanted him, and he should keep on top of his opponent instead of time wasting.
Cody walks over to a turnbuckle and touches it, then walks across the ring towards the second one.
Michael Cole: That's one turnbuckle for Cody just three more to go!
When Cody gets near the second turnbuckle has touches it, and the referee signals two, but behind Cody, Ryder now back now his feet, pulls the rope up, effectively Low Blowing Cody with the rope causing the turnbuckle count to reset.
Jerry Lawler: Well that's one way to his your opponents momentum, aha! What a move by Zack Ryder.
Michael Cole: I thought it was a cheap shot if anything King, that was a cheap shot.
Zack grabs Cody by the head and puts up against the turnbuckle, then climbs up to the second rope and begins delivering punch and punch as the crowd keeps count. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...9, Cody then grabs Zack's legs and pulls them forward, but knowing what happened last time they met Zack manages to grab hold of the top ropes before his head hits the top turnbuckle, and Cody let's go of Ryder's legs and quickly grabs the Cowbell off the mat, and hit's Ryder in the back with it before he can turn around.
Jim Ross: What a shot by Cody Rhodes, you could just hear the bell hit Ryder's spine, what a sickening sound and it must be killing him right now!
Cody then picks up the slack in the rope and wraps it around Ryder's neck on the mat twice and tightens it, before pulls back choking Ryder in a camel clutch position as Ryder reaches out trying to grab hold of anything he possibly can, before Cody can choke him out.
Michael Cole: Cody Rhodes is in firm control of this one!
As Zack tries to keep himself in the fight, Cody continues to choke Ryder until he body begins to go limp and he stops putting up a fight, then Cody lets go of the rope and untangles the rope from around Zack's neck, then walks over to a turnbuckle and hits it, as the referee shouts one!
Jerry Lawler: And once again Cody has got the first turnbuckle, and it looks like Ryder isn't going to move anytime soon, this match could be over already.
Taking his time Cody walks over to a second turnbuckle and hits it two as the referee shouts two.
Michael Cole: That's two, Cody's half way there, just two more to go and the entire world will know that Zack Ryder's fifteen minutes are up, and Cody Rhodes is the man.
As the crowd boo the apparent end to the match, Cody slowly walks over to the third turnbuckle then hits it as the referee shouts three. Then Cody slowly walks over to the final turnbuckle as Zack begins pulling on the Bullrope trying to get Cody as far away from the turnbuckle as possible, as Ryder reels in the rope and tries to pull Cody to the middle of the ring and Cody pulls back inching himself closer to the final turnbuckle and reaches out to touch it, but he's still too far away to get it, but then as he turns around Zack charges at him going for the Rough Ryder but Cody lifts Zack above his head and he hits the turnbuckle head first and staggers backwards into a Cross Rhodes and he goes for the cover
1!
2!
...
Ryder kicks out at a late late two count as the crowd cheer him on!
Jim Ross: That was real close right there, and because of the pin attempt the referee has rest the corner count, if you ask me that could be a huge mistake by Cody Rhodes.
Jerry Lawler: All he had to do was touch that one last turnbuckle, and he was so close to it, and the match would of been over, that could cost him big time.
Cody turns to the referee shouting at him and berating him convinced that it was a three count which the referee replies telling him it was only two, then Cody turns his attention back to Zack Ryder waiting for Ryder to get back to his feet, and as he slowly does so, Cody charges at the ropes, rebounding off the middle rope going for a Disaster Kick directed to the head of his opponent, but almost out of nowhere Ryder swings with the Cowbell in the middle of the rope and connects with the inside of Cody's knee, but falls on Ryder sending both men crashing to the mat, with Cody clutching his knee, and Ryder feeling his back where Cody previously struck it with the Cowbell, and in the collision Ryder's end of the rope becomes undone.
Jim Ross: What a desperation maneuver by Ryder, and it could just turn the tide of the match in his favour if he can capitalise.
Michael Cole: Ryder's rope has come off his arm, you know what this means don't you?!
Jerry Lawler: Calm down Cole, it was clearly unintentional, and the rules clearly state he will only get disqualified if he intentionally removes it.
The referee goes over the Ryder and reattaches his end of the rope to his right arm, Cody crawls into a corner of the ring as Ryder goes on the attack stomping Cody in the gut a few times then he backs off him and the crowd begin to cheer when Zack clenches his fist.
Jerry Lawler: You know what's coming now Cole!
Michael Cole: This is so stupid, somebody stop this..
As Ryder fist pumps three times he along with the crowd shout "Woo Woo Woo" then he charges at Cody and hit's him on the side of the face with a stiff boot!
Jim Ross: What a boot by Ryder to the side of Cody's face!
As Cody crawls into the middle of the ring, Zack climbs up the turnbuckle backwards, so not to get the Bullrope caught between the ring ropes and positions himself on the top, and feels his back, still feeling the effects for the Cowbell earlier in the match.
Jerry Lawler: Ryder's preparing to take a risk here, it's all or nothing right now.
Taking advantage of Zack's time wasting Cody dives at the ropes, causing Ryder to slip and fall groin first on the turnbuckle, then walks over the Ryder delivering a few punches to his head, then climbing up to the second turnbuckle and repositioning Ryder's legs for a Superplex, then hooks Ryder's arm, but Zack begins to deliver body blow after body blow then pushes Cody off the ropes and repositions himself on the top rope.
Jim Ross: Now’s your opportunity kid, you better take it while you can.
Cody quickly thinking, rebounds himself off the second rope and throws himself at Ryder and hits him on the side of the head with a Disaster Kick! And Zack does everything he can do to not fall to the outside.
Michael Cole: What a shot by Cody Rhodes! Ryder is out on his feet right now.
Cody then grabs the Bullrope and wraps it around Zack's neck again and pushes him out of the ring, hanging him from the top turnbuckle and Ryder kicks him his legs and tries to loosen the knot with his hands trying to breathe and Cody wrenches on the other side of the turnbuckle, literally squeezing the life out of Ryder.
Jim Ross: By god King, Cody is hanging Zack Ryder, this is too far damn it, have some decency damn it!
After a few seconds, Cody loosens his grip on the excess rope allowing Ryder to slump onto the mat outside the ring, then Cody pulling the rope with him walking around the ring over to Zack whilst he holds the Cowbell in his hands.
Michael Cole: Ryder doesn't even know where he is, isn't this great? He's learnt the hard way tonight that the Ryder Revolution is well a truly dead!
As Cody stands over Ryder, he stands in waiting as the boo rampantly boo him as a sadistic smile comes across Cody's face clearly enjoying the destruction of Zack Ryder. Then as Zack gets up to one knee, Cody swings the Cowbell and clocks Zack across the top of the head with it, as the thud echoes around the arena.
Jim Ross: What a sickening shot by Cody Rhodes right there. Did you here that? It was like a damn gun shot!
As the cameraman tries to get a close up of Ryder, a pool of blood is collecting underneath Ryder's head on the floor as it pour's out his skull.
Jerry Lawler: Look at all that blood JR, Ryder could be in some serious trouble right now, Cody Rhodes is all business tonight!
*The crowd gasps as the referee goes to check on Ryder. He picks his head up as he tries to get up and the camera zooms in on the deep cut. Another camera angle shows Cody Rhodes standing tall in the ring with a smirk on his face. He raises his fist high in the air as the crowd boos, Zack Ryder collapsing again. Cody looks down at him before making his way over to the first turnbuckle.*
Michael Cole: He's gonna do it! Come on Cody!
*He takes his time and he hits the first turnbuckle. He drags Ryder along with him as he reaches the second turnbuckle. The crowd continues to jeer him as he approaches the third turnbuckle. Suddenly, Zack jolts up in an act of desperation as he stops Cody from reaching the third one. Rhodes is dazed and he gets tossed over the top by a huge clothesline!*
Jim Ross: What heart from young Zack Ryder! He will fight until the end!
Jerry Lawler: Wait a minute, look at this!
*The bull rope is hung over the top as Cody is on the outside. Zack seizes the opportunity as he yanks on the rope, sending Cody right into the apron! The crowd cheers as Zack does it again! And again! And again! He finally stops as Rhodes is flabbergasted on the outside.*
Michael Cole: Oh come on! That's just inhumane!
*Zack climbs onto the apron with all the blood dripping from his forehead, but suddenly Cody pulls on the rope himself and he goes crashing down to the floor! The crowd gasps again as Rhodes head to the other side of the steps.*
Jerry Lawler: Zack Ryder is out like a light!
*The rope is resting on the steps as Cody waits for his rival, the former X-Treme Champion, to get up. Cody's eyes are locked dead on Ryder as he begins to get up. He is on one knee and he is in a complete daze. The crowd starts a 'LET'S GO RYDER' chant once more. Ryder finally gets up to his feet as Cody tugs on the rope. Zack goes full force towards the steps, but he uses the momentum to his advantage as he leaps onto the steps and jumps off, hitting a super Rough Ryder on Cody!*
Jim Ross: Bah gawd! Zack just took Cody and himself out of this match!
Michael Cole: This is insane!
*The crowd is in a frenzy as both men are laid out on the outside. We are taken to a replay of Zack leaping over the steps and hitting the Rough Ryder. The referee hops to the outside and checks on both men. They are both still for a few moments before Ryder starts to show some life. He picks up Cody before tossing him back into the ring. He gets back into the ring himself as the referee follows. The fatigue is still shown on both men as Zack is forced to crawl over to Rhodes to try and make the pin fall attempt. After a few more sluggish moments, he finally reach and flips Cody over. He hooks the leg and the referee begins counting.*
1!
2!
Kickout!
Michael Cole: Yes! Come on Cody! That's some real heart right there, JR!
*Zack asks the ref "Two? Are you serious Bro?" and the referee assures him it was only a two count. He is clearly frustrated as he heads back over to Cody, but Rhodes clips him at the knee. Cody lifts him up for the Alabama Slam, but it is countered and Ryder goes for a sunset flip! It is stopped halfway, however, and Zack is met with a huge kick to the skull. He's out once more as Cody begins to just stomp away at him and shouting things such as "YOU'RE A JOKE. I'M ENDING YOU." Ryder begins to stir as he pops up to one knee. Cody notices this and he runs over towards the ropes and jumps up for the Beautiful Disaster, only for Zack to pull the rope!*
Jim Ross: Simple, yet an effective tactic from Ryder!
*Cody falls hard to the mat as the 'Long Island Iced Z' finally makes it back to his feet. He grabs a hold of the cowbell and waits for his rival to get up. The camera zooms up on his bloodied face which also shares an intense look. He motions for Cody to get up as he shouts "GET UP!" Rhodes finally does and Ryder charges, clocking him with the cowbell right in the head!*
Michael Cole: Oh no! Somebody stops this! Quick!
Jerry Lawler: You know what they say, Cole. What comes around goes around.
*Cody is in a complete daze as the camera zooms up on his face. Blood is gushing out as he falls to the mat.*
Michael Cole: Please! Somebody do something! That's our savior!
Jim Ross: Oh zip it, Cole. Cody wanted this match and he sure as hell got it.
*The referee checks on Cody as Zack limps over to a turnbuckle. As he staggers over to the second one Rhodes gets up and touches the first one. Ryder finally reaches the second one as Cody quickly hits it himself. By the time they reach the third one they catch on to what is happening. They both touch it at the same time before they start throwing punches. The crowd cheers every time Ryder hits a bunch and they boo every time Cody hits one.*
Michael Cole: You're so close, Cody! Just one more!
Jerry Lawler: Hey! Zack is just one away too!
*They keep hitting each other with rights and lefts, and with each punch it takes them further back. Eventually the both go for a clothesline and they take each other out. The crowd breaks into a 'THIS IS AWESOME' chant as they lay on the mat, motionless. The referee checks on both men as we can see the clear anguish on both of their faces. The blood continues to drip down their bodies as they finally begin to move again. They turn over to their stomachs as they share a glance. The both begin crawling as fast as they can to other turnbuckle.*
Jim Ross: Would you look at this! These two men are literally crawling and scratching for this victory.
Jerry Lawler: Oh JR you can see the bad blood between these two men, literally!
*As they continue crawling to the fourth and final turnbuckle, Cody stands up and pulls Ryder back. He then leaps for the turnbuckle himself, but Zack uses a similar strategy and pulls Cody back. He goes for another punch, but it is blocked. Rhodes turns him around and grabs him by the head, aiming for the Cross Rhodes. He gets pushed and he heads towards the ropes, so he takes advantage and he connects with the Beautiful Disaster! The crowd boos as Rhodes goes in for the cover.*
1!
2!
Kickout!
Jim Ross: These men just won't quit!
Jerry Lawler: These two just hate each other so much, they won't allow the other to win!
Michael Cole: Well Zack Ryder better be getting ready to lose!
*Cody is engulfed with rage as he crouches of Zack's body. He lifts up his head and just starts striking away with his right hand. He pours right after right after right into the cut, opening it up even more. The crowd boos as the blood trickles from Zack Ryder's skull and it ends up following onto Cody's wrist tape. Eventually Cody gives up and he looks down at his hand, smirking.*
Jim Ross: That's just disturbing!
*The referee checks on Ryder as Rhodes grabs the cowbell once more. Zack starts to move again, although it's clear he doesn't have much of an idea to where he is. Cody continues stalking him as he gets up and he swings the cowbell once more, but Ryder is able to kick him in the gut just in the nick of time. He grabs the cowbell himself and rams it right in Cody's gut! Cody drops to a knee as Ryder goes behind and raises the cowbell, driving it into the back of his skull! Cody plops to the mat with a thud as Ryder covers.*
1!
2!
Kickout!
Michael Cole: Yes! Come on Cody!
Jerry Lawler: Oh, Cole, Cody's on dream street after that shot!
*As Cody starts to become awake from the massive shot, Zack ascends to the top rope. He tugs on the rope and Cody comes crashing into the corner. He picks him up and plops him on the middle rope, setting up for who knows what. Rhodes begins to fight back as he starts hitting Zack with shot after shot. He hooks his arm and aims for a Superplex, but then Ryder starts to fight back. The crowd pops as both men step onto the top rope and they start trading punches. Just like before they boo when Cody hits one and they cheer whenever Zack hits one.*
Michael Cole: These people are ridiculous! That's their savior! Have some respect!
Jim Ross: Like how Cody respects everybody else?
Michael Cole: Yeah!
*In a horrific turn of events, both of the men lose their balance and Ryder goes tumbling to the floor. Cody's luck is somehow even worse, as he gets tangled in the rope and is now tied upside to the turnbuckle. He hangs above the floor as blood continues to drip down from his forehead and splash onto the floor, making another pool of blood.*
Jim Ross: This is just sick! Ryder is unconscious on the outside while Cody is hanging over him!
Jerry Lawler: JR, you want to talk about slobber knockers, well you got one here.
Jim Ross: You're right about that, King.
*Ryder crawls over to the barricade and he uses it to help himself get up. The crowd pats him on the back as he does so. Once he turns around he notices Cody dangling from the corner. He looks around for a moment before raising his fist in the air, calling for the Broksi Boot. Cody's eyes grow wide as he shouts "NO! NO! NO!"*
Michael Cole: Oh come on, not this again!
*With each pump the crowd exclaims "WOO!" as Ryder charges, connecting with another huge Broski Boot!*
Jerry Lawler: AAAAHHHH!
*The massive shot unties Cody and he falls to the apron. Ryder pushes him back into the ring before sliding in himself. Cody is in a dazed state as his rival is calling for him to get up. Zack flashes his signature 'LI' taunt as Rhodes is finally staggering on his feet. He charges and goes for the Rough Ryder, but Cody tosses him overhead and he lands right on the turnbuckle! Zack is loopy as the 'Dashingly Insane One' tugs on the rope, sending him hard into the mat. The crowd lets out a big gasp as he lands on his neck. The referee tries to check on him, but Cody pushes him away. The referee backs up, knowing what Cody did to the other poor ref, as he grabs Ryder. He hoists him up and sends him back down with another Alabama Slam.*
Jim Ross: These men are taking each other to hell and back tonight, you can see the fatigue and anguish on their faces.
*As both men begin to get up, Cody goes off the ropes looking for the Beautiful Disaster. Ryder is able to duck, and he knocks out the referee!*
Jerry Lawler: Oh no! The referee is knocked out!
Michael Cole: Everybody is a victim in this match!
*Ryder goes for a clothesline, but Cody ducks it and nails him with the Silver Spoon DDT! Zack is knocked out as Cody takes notice to the referee being knocked out, and he smirks.*
Jim Ross: Oh, what is he thinking here?
*Cody kneels down to a knee and he starts fiddling with the rope around his wrist. After awhile, he unties himself!*
Jim Ross: You son of a bitch!
Jerry Lawler: Hey! He can't do that!
Michael Cole: There's no referee! Anything goes! Ha ha!
*Cody mocks everyone about him being free as he starts to do jumping jacks in the center of the ring with a smirk on the face, basking in the jeers from the Las Vegas crowd.*
Jim Ross: Would you look at this? What a jackass.
*A now free Cody goes outside of the ring as he continues to bask in the boo's. He goes over to Justin Roberts where he throws the staff out of his way. He grabs a chair and folds it before heading towards the ring. He slides in and as Zack begins to get up, he stalks his prey.*
Jerry Lawler: Don't turn around Zack, you might not like the view!
*Zack does indeed turn around, and he gets blasted right in the head with the chair! He falls to the mat and you can see the blood stain on the chair. Cody isn't done with the chair yet, however. He stands besides Zack's prone body and he raises the chair. He proceeds to smack him in the back with it again and again and again. The crowd cringes at each shot as Ryder is no left at the mercy of the ever so sadistic and ruthless Cody Rhodes.*
Jim Ross: This is sick! Somebody stop this!
*Cody flips him over and he unfolds the chair. He props it onto Zack's throat and sits on it himself, forcing all his weight right on his throat, choking him out. He then calls for a microphone and Justin Roberts begrudgingly hands him over one.*
[Cody Rhodes] ATTENTION PLEASE.
*The crowd jeers him as he begins to speak, but he the boo's nearly drown his voice out.*
[Cody Rhodes] Zack, I hope that you're laying there as uncomfortable as possible. Now, as for me? I'm just about on cloud nine right now. I'm smiling from ear to ear as I currently look down at a poor excuse of a wrestler who takes up MY time drowning in a pool of his own blood and failure. And I hope you're enjoying being all tied up at the moment Zack, because I have not only freed myself from the rope, but I have also liberated myself from you. And that is the important part. That is my mission; and now I can do whatever I want! I can do some more jumping jacks!
*Cody gets up and does a few more jumping jacks to the demise of the crowd.*
[Cody Rhodes] I can do pushups!
*Cody begins to do five or so pushups in the ring.*
[Cody Rhodes] I can even fist pump.
*He then begins mocking Ryder by doing fist pumps over his near lifeless body.*
[Cody Rhodes] WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!
Jim Ross: I can't stand this kid. What a jackass.
Michael Cole: I love him! He's Redemption's Finest!
*Cody begins to laugh as Ryder pokes his head up. Rhodes' smile quickly turns into a cold stare as he drives the microphone into his skull. The thud echos around the arena as he tosses the microphone out of the ring. Cody then notices the referee stirring, so he quickly throws the chair out of the ring and retires himself to the rope.*
Michael Cole: Ha ha! Beautiful! What a genius!
*As Cody tries to quickly retie himself, he doesn't he notice Ryder getting up. The crowd is going insane as when he finally turns around, he gets blasted by the Rough Ryder! The roof nearly blows off the arena as Ryder hooks the leg for the cover.*
1!
2!
KICKOUT! KICKOUT! KICKOUT!
Jerry Lawler: Oh, come on Ryder!
*The referee just gets up and Ryder helps him to his feet. His kindness turns to a mistake as Cody pulls on the rope and he goes flying back right into a low blow! Cody quickly takes advantage and hits the Cross Rhodes, covering!*
1!
2!
3!
*DING DING DING*
Michael Cole: YES! YES! REDEMPTION'S FINEST! CODY RHODES! THE RYDER REVOLUTION IS DEAD!
Jim Ross: Shut your mouth, Cole.
Michael Cole: Don't be mad at me! The Zack Pack did this to Ryder tonight! His blood is on their hands!
Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the match, Cody Rhodes!
*Cody lets out a loud roar as he theme song blasts over the arena.*
Jerry Lawler: Well, Cody proved how dangerous he really is tonight.
*The referee raises his hand in victory as he yells at him to untie the rope, which he does.*
Jim Ross: These two young men put everything on the line here tonight. They will never ever be the same, and after such a great contest, it's a damn shame Cody had to win it like that.
Michael Cole: It's not cheating if you don't get caught!
*The referee tends to Zack Ryder while Cody celebrates his win on the turnbuckle with a devious smirk on his face.*
Jim Ross: Folks this was a brutal contest so let's take a look back on some of our most brutal and memorable moments from this slobber knocker.
*Replays show multiple events from the match such as the massive collision that knocked Ryder loose, Ryder being busted open, the super Rough Ryder, the Broski Boot on the outside, and the final Cross Rhodes that sealed the deal.*
Jerry Lawler: Oh man, these two will never be the same again. What a brutal match.
*The scene fades off as Cody Rhodes is now on the stage. Zack Ryder is helped to the back by the referee as Cody raises his fist in the air. The camera zooms up on his blood drained face with a little smirk popping through.*
The line represents who did what. Bang did the first half and I did the second half. Props to Bang for the amazing commentary at the start.
Again props to both Jon and Bang for a killer match.

Subject: Re: XWL Digital Decision: 7/1/2012 - 7/8/2012 Sat Jul 07, 2012 3:00 am
Digital Decision continues on by taking us inside the locker room of Ted DiBiase. Josh Matthews is standing beside the World Heavyweight Champion ready to conduct an exclusive interview.
{Josh Matthews} Good evening members of the XWL universe, I'm standing here with the man that will be defending his World Heavyweight Championship in our main-event of the evening against his long time and bitter rival, Michael McGillicutty. Ladies and gentlemen, the self professed leader of the DiBiase Posse, Ted DiBiase Jr!
Ted sends a friendly nod his way, but it appears his focus is solely on the task at hand tonight.
{Josh Matthews} Ted, first I'd like to start off by thanking you again for taking time out of your schedule to perhaps allow myself as well as your fans a chance to understand just what's on your mind as you prepare for what could very well be the greatest challenge you've faced to date.
{Ted DiBiase} Anytime, Josh, you know me I'm a people person so if the people want an interview, then an interview they shall get!
{Josh Matthews} Before we begin how are you doing tonight? Is your injury sustained at last month's pay-per-view in any better shape than it was?
Josh positions the microphone at Ted's chest for his answer.
{Ted DiBiase} It's doing a little bit better yeah, does it still hurt like nobody's business? Oh you have no idea...but that's just one of the many things that comes with this profession. It's not for everybody, to be a wrestler you have to have a certain tolerance if you will. All those late night training sessions, practically living in the gym, and training your body to be able withstand pain, it's not easy, in fact I still haven't gotten at the level of some of my peers, I mean there are things that I've felt that are just indescribable, but it's because of those things that I'm able to push through something that might not be so bad compared to other things. So my left wing is temporarily clipped, I'll just have to fight that much harder with my right one. Yeah my performance lately has suffered, and I'm making no excuses for it, it's my choice to continue to fight even though I might not necessarily be one hundred percent, so I take the blame on that. Could blame Michael for what he did last month, but again I chose to continue on as World Heavyweight Champion instead of maybe taking time off that I might need, and return at the back of the line. I haven't worked my ass off for the last few years just to give up when things get rough. There's a saying I often follow, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. So what if I'm in a little a pain tonight? So what if maybe my performance lately hasn't been spectacular by any means, I'm still here, and as long as I still have my breath in my body, I will continue to push through whatever I have to continue living my dream.
{Ted DiBiase} Nobody said this was going to be easy, and truth be told I'm glad it's not. While I always give it my best every time I'm out in that ring, I have to say that finally having this title around my waist has not only increased my confidence, but it's cemented my belief in that I was born for this. I'm not claiming to be born better, but I'm claiming to be bred to have the ability to never give up, to never change my ways for anybody, and to fight until these fists cannot fight another battle. Growing up I learned one thing, if you wanna be a wrestler it takes commitment, you might not always be at the top of the card, but if you can go out there and give the fans a show you'll be immortal. My father never was World Heavyweight Champion, yet he was and still is a house hold name. He loved what he did, and he always told me, son, if this is what you wanna do when you grow up, you better be prepared for the greatest challenge of your life. Well, first he said you're going to college or I'll tan your hide, but that's the beside point.
{Ted DiBiase} My point is I've not only done what he couldn't do, I've done what no one else expected me to do. I can't count the amount of times someone told me, just give up, you're wasting everybody's time, you're not good enough, you're just a joke, you're nothing like your father, you'll never amount to anything...Becoming World Heavyweight Champion wasn't just a giant middle finger to all those that doubted me, it's something I fought to achieve for the longest time. I was prepared for if it never happened, titles are a huge part of this industry, and I'm ecstatic to be able to stand here as champion tonight, but it's not all about success to me. Yes it's nice, oh it's a feeling like I've never felt before....but my good feeling is when my music hits and I go out through that curtain and hear thousands cheering on my name....and in the midst of those fans are people I had the opportunity to get to know before the show. It's the fans that really helped me come into my own. I was close to giving up, when you become known as the guy that chokes at every opportunity he gets, it's not a great feeling...but to have people that supported me even if I screw up a few times, it helped me persevere through all the doubt and negativity and it's brought me to this very moment right now. I don't claim to be the best Josh, I don't call myself the show stopper, or the show off, I'm just happy to be apart of the show. No matter my position on the card, whether it's opening the show, in the middle, or closing, I go out there with the intention of giving the fans exactly what they paid to see. If they don't like me? They're bound to see me get my ass kicked a few times, if they like me, they'll see me come back from that ass whooping like nobody else.
{Ted DiBiase} Success to me is that added extra something that not only makes me proud to have my name added to list compiled of the best of the best, it's my way of showing everybody, whether they're back here in the locker room struggling to find their place in this company, in the crowd wanting to make something more of their life but scared to do it, or at home, maybe they have a goal that they feel is too far off, that if they want it bad enough, everything else just falls into place. I'm not going to stand here and say that I did it with the greatest of ease, we both know that'd be a giant lie. But I will say that if you are willing to make sacrifices along the way, and prepared to work harder than you have ever worked, nothing is out of your reach. That's honestly what I want to establish the most as World Heavyweight Champion. I've reached my goal, now I want to help others find the drive to reach theirs too.
{Josh Matthews} You're a true inspiration, Ted, I hope you know that. You may not be like other superstars but in my opinion I think that's what makes you such a standout from everyone else. I can just feel the passion coming from you, it's really great to see how far you've come. You've had a lot of obstacles along the way, but you've never once let that dampen your spirit, you're human like any else so of course you've had your moments as we all do, but in the end, you never lost sight of what you wanted to achieve, and it's because of this that you're so well received among the fans. Getting into that though, what is it about them that caused you to turn your whole career around and reveal to us all who the real Ted DiBiase Jr. was?
{Ted DiBiase} I think it's just the fact that they're like a family to you...even if you mess up sometimes, or maybe just need someone in a moment of weakness, they're always there...no matter the country, no matter the time of day, there is always a fan waiting to give you that special something you need to get through the day. They always tell me I've made their day by just meeting them, but really, it's they who make my day. I could just kick myself for trying to be like the norm, a cocky third generation superstar that thought he was better than everybody else. We all make mistakes, this business is so stressful that sometimes you don't always make the right decisions, but that's what's so amazing about the fans of not only this company, but wrestling in general. They're open, they're accepting, and when I had nothing left...not a dollar to my name, no real friends, and I had even lost my father's support, they were there...I was contemplating what to do with my life....I had tried being just like dad, but that didn't work for me. And that's because that I am nothing like my father, not even a little bit, we're such polar opposites that it's unreal to even think of myself as a DiBiase. When I got into wrestling, after I had done all my training and everything everyone was like, you're going to make your father proud one day. I can't wait to see you bring back the brilliance of The Million Dollar Man. But deep down, I always knew I couldn't...I tried....I tried to be something I wasn't, I don't wanna take a private jet to the arena I'd rather sit in coach with my buddies. I don't wanna sit down to a plate of snails I wanna pig out on hot dogs and hamburgers! It's the simple life but that's what I love so much about it. I mean do I really need a hundred cars I'll likely never drive? Do I need to have custom tailored made suits only to wear it maybe once, if that? The fans just helped me realize that I could just be myself, no gimmicks, no bells and whistles, just the cheesy, sometimes unstable, and always ready for a fight Ted DiBiase. Some will be critical of how I act, or how I might be unbearably cheesy at times, but my fans, my people, they'll support me even when others do nothing but condemn me, and that's why I love 'em.
{Josh Matthews} Keeping on the same subject of the fans, tonight they're in control of every match, they've been voting all month and now their voices will be heard. Your match is no exception, they have a choice of either a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs, a Street Fight, or a Hell in a Cell, are you at all worried of either of these choices? Do you think your fans will try to sway the vote in your favor?
{Ted DiBiase} Honestly Josh, do any of those options look like the match will be in my favor no matter what the fans vote for? Either way I'm heading into a battle with a man that has proven he will do anything he has to in order to walk away the World Heavyweight Champion. The rules are thrown out of the equation in every single one of those options. A TLC? Everything legal and I have to climb a ladder with an arm that he'll no doubt target from the get go. A Street Fight? Once again, anythings legal and falls count anywhere....He could toss me into the street, have me get run over by a car and pin me one two three. Then we've got a Hell in a Cell match, which is like stepping inside hell itself because there's practically no escape, everything but the kitchen sink will be under that ring ready to use against your opponent, and just like the other two choices, everything is legal! Let's not forget we'll be surrounded by god knows how much steel, we'll basically be fighting inside a weapon itself! I'm damned either way and, throw a straight jacket on me now, 'cause I love that! The thrill of heading into a battle that looks like I haven't got a chance in the world gives me that extra added motivation to do everything I can to not only survive, but walk away with the World Heavyweight title still in my possession.
{Josh Matthews} Now a more straight forward question, do you think that you can defeat Michael McGillicutty? You've both traded wins and losses over the span of your long drawn out rivalry since it began last year when Michael first arrived on scene, so it's almost as if you've each got the other's number, that because you've met in so many matches in the past that you maybe know each other better than anyone else in XWL. Are you worried that this could be his way of settling the score once and for all?
{Ted DiBiase} Absolutely, I'm not going to act like some over confident pompous ass here, there is part of me that is worried. But honestly who wouldn't be? We've encountered each other so many times that we're going to really have to change our whole strategies to walk away with the win in this one. I will say this though, even though I don't like him as a person, he's proven me and a lot of people wrong. He rose up just like I did, hell, he's done it faster than I did! But that doesn't mean he'll be walking away with my world Heavyweight Championship tonight. That just means that deep down, underneath that arrogant exterior lies potential for a man capable of accomplishing many things in his career. But just like me, he's gotta learn that he's not the best. Hell it drives me crazy for anyone to claim they're the best, that's like the most disputable claim in every way possible, and to have a young guy come into this company like he did at first and almost demand to be seen as a big deal rubbed me the wrong way since the very first time I heard him speak. There's being confident, and there's being a self absorbed jackass, and you can guess which category Michael falls under.
{Josh Matthews} Why does it bother you so much to see someone like him carry himself the way he does?
{Ted DiBiase} Because it's people like him that are the first bitch and moan when things stop falling into their favor. I can't count the amount of times a World Heavyweight Champion or any champion for that matter has lost their title and done nothing but bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch. You win some and you lose some, but for guys like Michael it's as if you come up with every excuse in the book as to why you lost. Do we need to look back at what happened last month at Unforgiven? He illegally uses weapons, keeps getting away with it until finally, he tries one final time, I duck it and lay his ass out with a decisive Dream Street. But it's in that moment where the referee see me clearly pissed off holding my title over him and assumes I had used it....then the next night he's bitching on Redemption about how I intentionally got myself disqualified, does that make any sense compared to what actually happened? Not even a little bit, but somehow, inside that head of his, it made perfect sense....I'll never understand it as long as I live.
{Josh Matthews} I don't know if you heard or not but earlier tonight Vickie Guerrero revealed the concept for next week's Supershow. It's titled Night of Champions and it is there where if you manage to retain tonight you and every other champion in XWL will have to defend your titles, but for the World Heavyweight Championship Vickie's made things more interesting.
{Ted DiBiase} Vickie? Making things interesting? Now this I gotta hear.
{Josh Matthews} She's selected three superstars that in the spirit of tonight's show will be voting options for the fans to select who will challenge the World Champion in the main-event of this show. Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, and Davey Richards. So my question to is are you concerned with the possibility of having to defend your title so soon after possibly defending it tonight?
{Ted DiBiase} Naturally I'm more concerned with tonight's match rather than whatever awaits me in the future, but not really. Because if you look at the options, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, and Davey Richards will have all competed here tonight just like I have to. Randy's gotta be feeling the effects of that casket match with The Undertaker, Davey's sure to be in for a hurtin' no matter what match is chosen for his opportunity against Christian later, and Cody Rhodes may have managed to beat my broski Zack Ryder, but my boy got in some good hits so no doubt he'll still be recovering too. So either way no one will be in the best of shape tomorrow, it'll all come down on who wants it more. Personally if I'm still champion, which I plan to be, I'll be proud to defend my title against whoever. All three in their own way offer something fresh to the table, so I say bring on the fun!
{Josh Matthews} You seem awful enthusiastic at the thought of possibly having to defend your title not once, but twice within such a short period, are you just that confident in your ability to retain?
{Ted DiBiase} It's not that at all, sure I hope to be champion for a long time, but I'm just happy to be taking part in things like this. Being a champion, especially World Heavyweight Champion was something I always wanted to happen, so now that it has, and now that I am, I just wanna go all in! Whoever wants to step up, bring it! Whatever match Vickie wants to throw me in, do it! And whatever obstacle comes my way, whether that be a challenger, an injury, or whatever else, I'm ready for it. This wasn't just a fluke, and I'll work hard to prove that every day to whoever needs to me. I've always admired fighting champions, to me they define what it is to be a champion, and that's exactly what I hope to be. Becoming champion is just the beginning for me, this may be my first but I guarantee you this, it won't be my last!
{Josh Matthews} Obviously I wish you all the best heading into your title defense tonight, and I thank you for your time, I'm sure your fans appreciate it as well. Do you have any closing comments before we go? Maybe a final message to send Michael McGillicutty?
{Ted DiBiase} At this point I think everything that needed to said has already been said. It's clear by now that we don't like each other one bit, from throwing me off a stage, to inviting my brother to Redemption only to attack, to maliciously attacking my father in his own home, Michael's shown that he has no remorse for anything that he does, and that's fine by me. The only smile you'll see on my face is when I'm kicking your ass all over the place. So Michael, say your prayers, reserve a bed at the local hospital, and say adios to that pretty smile of yours, cause I'm gonna knock your teeth down your throat. Oh and that's not a threat, that's a promise.
Slowly we zoom in on intently focused face of the World Heavyweight Champion.
{Ted DiBiase} Only one man will be walking out of Las Vegas as World Heavyweight Champion, and spoiler alert, it's not you, it's me.
A slight almost cocky grin follows his confident statement to Michael McGillicutty just before we fade out to that very image.

The High Crusaaaade
Jericho going from being positive about Shelley to turning on him so quickly on a dime is just like his character. I've always liked the comparisons between Chris Jericho and especially when Shelley said he took Jericho's character and made it into the better Alex Shelley. I like how you play Parks' character, Kyle. It's interesting to read. The video to announce the pick was really good, a nice little touch to it. I didn't watch all of the videos but I only watched part 4 of the match, it's cool to see Parks win although I was rooting for Shelley. The promo was a fun read and I liked the layout of the match too.

The commentary at the start of this was really easy to read and got me hyped for reading the match. The fact that this is a bullrope match makes for a very interesting writeup and since this is a co-effort from the both of you I knew to expect a lot of creativity. The camel clutch with the rope sounds sickening. I like the constant commentary during this writeup because it really adds a lot. The beautiful disaster-bullrope collision was a nice spot. I just kept on reading this writeup until the end because it was so intense, a bloody war with a nice equaliser that is the bullrope/cowbell. The broski boot to Cody while he was upside down was great. Cody getting out of the bullrope and mocking the crowd and Ryder was awesome, such a good heel. This was a huge win for Cody and I loved the writeup, so creative.

There is way too much to cover on this promo part by part so I'll do my best to sum up my thoughts. It was a bit daunting to read all at once but when it kicked in to gear it was an easy read. It got very deep in this promo then back to more light-hearted, then personal. He really evaluates who he is which was interesting to read. Running through the matches was necessary and you did it well, I hope TLC wins the vote. Ted's honesty as always in the promo made it easy to read. I like how you weighed in on the possible options for next week's title defense if you retain, and how you brought up how they'll be as fatigued as Ted might be. Ted saying MM has a pretty smile was a bit weird, I like how Ted got serious as the promo reached it's end. Looking forward to the main event.

XWL's blockbuster PPV Digital Decision cuts backstage to an overwhelming frenzy of boo's from the crowd as the former peoples champion appears on screen talking to the devil himself...
[The Rock] So that's the plan?
[Vince McMahon] Yes. We've got Triple H exactly were we want him, it doesn't matter which one of us gets voted in.
[The Rock] What if we both get voted in?
[Vince McMahon] Then...Then the Game will be over!
[The Rock] Haha! Sounds perfect to The Rock! Afterwards we can hit the town and party like only the Corporation can!
[Vince McMahon] Rock...I'm sixty six years old, do you even know what that means?
[The Rock] Don't talk like that, The Rock knows you enjoy an occasional episode of CSI with your feet up, big ol' cup of tea in your right hand and a dunking biscuit in the other! But tonight, tonight is bigger than that, tonight is more than putting on your slippers and making dad noises, tonight is about wh....whoo.....whooping Triple H's ass all over this arena! Then, we are going to party! Alright?
[Vince McMahon] Rock?
[The Rock] Yeah?
[Vince McMahon] I was just going to tell you that I've been on this planet long enough....To know the best damn nightclubs in every town!
[The Rock] That's more like it! There's the real Vince McMahon! Haha! Woooo!
[Vince McMahon] Alright, I got some business to go take care of...I'll catch up with you later Rock!
Rock watches on with that signature trademark pearly white smile as Vince walks away from him down the corridor when suddenly out of nowhere a mysterious figure pops up to the side of The Rock...
[The Rock] Who in the blue hell...are you?
[Johnny Curtis] Who in the blue hell are YOU?
[The Rock] Who in the blue hell is The Rock? Surely you must be kidding?
[Johnny Curtis] I am...And don't call me Shirley.
[The Rock] Did you just?
[Johnny Curtis] Did you just?
[The Rock] Stop copying the Rock!
[Johnny Curtis] Stop copying the Rock!
[The Rock] That doesn't even make any sense!
[Johnny Curtis] I make plenty of sense, first of all. I'm just a little.... weird. As you, what kind of a name is Rock anyway? Do you have the intellect of a rock or something?.
[The Rock] What the hell are you talking about? The Rock is a great name! It lets everyone know about his inhuman strength! The Rock is an immovable object!
[Johnny Curtis] And why do you keep talking in the third person? That's just..... weird.
[The Rock] The Rock talks in.....
[Johnny Curtis] IT DOESN'T MATTER WHY YOU TALK IN THE THIRD PERSON!
[The Rock] Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! That is The Rocks catchphrase! No one and The Rock means no one! Is allowed to use his catchphrases, not even The Rocks damn daddy is allowed to use his catchphrases! Okay?
[Johnny Curtis] I can say whatever I want. Under the Weird Constitution, my right to free speech is protected.
[The Rock] Okay...The Rock will humor you, would you kindly tell him who wrote that?
[Johnny Curtis] The Weird Constitutional Convention, which was also known as the Weird Philadelphia Convention, the Weird Federal Convention, or the Weird Grand Convention at Philadelphia.
[The Rock] So you're a member of the W.C.C?
[Johnny Curtis] No. I'm a weird member.
[The Rock] How would you like to become a complimentary member of the Breakdown hotel?
[Johnny Curtis] Wait, does this mean I can have a contract?
[The Rock] Why of course, included in the contract is two months stay, a free Rock burger with extra hot Rock sauce and most importantly a big fat can of whoop ass!
[Johnny Curtis] Does that come with room service?
[The Rock] ....Yeah...It's all served personally by The Rock
[Johnny Curtis] Will there be any pie? You know, not just any pie.....
[Johnny Curtis] .....Weird pie.
[The Rock] Wait a minute...You like weird pie too?!
[Johnny Curtis] Of course! All types of weird pie.....
[The Rock] Well damn, maybe The Rock was wrong about you...Sure you're a freaky little sum'bitch but anyone who likes all types of weird pie is a friend of The Rocks!
[Johnny Curtis] Alright, Rock. We're gonna have to save the weird pie for later. As for now, I have a few questions for you.
[The Rock] You've taken up too much of The Rocks time already, now if you'll excuse him, he has a ma--
[Johnny Curtis] Just wait one second, Rock. What's with the rush? Did you and Vince have something to do wtih Mick Foley's attack?
[The Rock] Mick Foley was attacked?
[Johnny Curtis] Yeah, do you live under a rock or something?
[The Rock] Curtis, let The Rock ask YOU a question...
[Johnny Curtis] Shoot.
[The Rock] You know that spanish girl who works in production?
[Johnny Curtis] Yeah.
[The Rock] SHE'S the only person who lives under The Rock! As for Mick Foley being attacked, although the Corporation had nothing to do with it, he probably deserved it.
[Johnny Curtis] Well, don't you gives have the intetions of running XWL? Mick Foley would be a prime target.
[The Rock] The Rock teamed with Mick Foley for many many years, back when you were dragging your little nappy along the floor of your trailer The Rock and Sock Connection were trailblazing! If The Rock had a problem with Mick Foley he would handle it the same way he always has...slap bang in the middle of that ring! The Rock is not a coward.
[Johnny Curtis] Okay, Rock, fair point. One last question. Did Vince do it? I mean, he can kind of be a coward......
[The Rock] Let The Rock just make one thing crystal clear, he is not attached to the hip of Vince McMahon, you wanna ask that? Ask Vince.
[Johnny Curtis] Alright then. If you insist. Now, if you see him, tell him things are about to get..... weird.
[The Rock] The Rock will do that for you, oh and one last thing before you go...The Rock knows the easiest way for you to get a contract, you interested?
**Curtis looks at Rock and raises an eyebrow, annoying Rock even more.*
[Johnny Curtis] I'm interested.
[The Rock] The Rock would love to tell you but....
*The Rock moves in real close to Johnny Curtis, his lips near his left ear...he pauses for a moment before finally whispering*
[The Rcok] It's a weird secret...
[Johnny Curtis] Well then, speaking of weird secrets.
*Curtis leans in and whispers something in Rock's ear. The camera then freezes on The Rocks horrified face as Curtis pulls away from his ear, The Rock sticks his toungue out, grabs it with his fingers and wipes it several times before turning and spitting on the floor.*
[The Rock] How did you even get that in a cake!?
[Johnny Curtis] That, my friend, is a true weird secret.
[The Rock] Get the hell out of here!
*Curtis smriks before walking off the set, leaving the Rock horrified as the crowd laughs.*

Who Will Face Mr. Anderson?
Mr. Anderson Vs
A. Dude Love
B. Cactus Jack
C. Mankind
Mr. Anderson made his return after a few weeks of being missing in action and immediately set his sights on Breakdown’s General Manager: Mick Foley. Anderson doesn’t like how Foley panders to the crowd and blames the people for the lack of things Foley has been able to accomplish compared to the likes men who have been able to put themselves first every now and then. Anderson saw Foley as a man who came out week after week trying hard to keep himself relevant and in the spotlight and he declared himself the one who is going to take Foley out once and for all. Foley is no stranger to being the target of a Breakdown superstars’ ire. Cody Rhodes and his Resistance actually got him out of his general manager’s job, but Foley got rid of them and now that Anderson has stepped out of line, Foley’s going to put him in his place too. But this time around Foley doesn’t have to deal with five renegades, and this time he doesn’t have Edge to back him up. Foley realizes that this is a battle that he has to fight himself to show Anderson that he still has it…. though it isn’t a battle that he has to fight as himself. At Digital Decision, Foley will seek the aid of one of his past personas to help him take Anderson to school, but Anderson has been preparing himself for all three and he is ready for whichever the people send his way. The three different versions of Mick Foley: Cactus Jack, Mankind and Dude Love and all unique and all ready for a fight, and if Anderson thinks either one of them will be a walk in the park then he’s in for a rude awakening. Foley isn’t known for making life easy for his opponents, nor is he known for his clean technically sound wrestling matches. Anderson was looking for a fight and he is no doubt going to get more than he bargained for.
[JR] Who will Anderson Face?
[Michael Cole] Mick Foley, obviously JR...
[Jerry Lawler] It's time to find out who the fans voted...
[JR] IT'S MANKIND!
[Jerry Lawler] I think Anderson might be in trouble now, JR!
*Mankind is clearly frustrated with the kickout and he starts picking out his hair. The anger costs him as Anderson gets up and flattens him with a huge clothesline.*
[JR] Oh what a huge shot from Anderson.
*The crowd boos as Anderson taunts. Mankind is dazed as he begins to get up, Mr. Anderson sizing him up.*
[Jerry Lawler] Oh no, not this again!
*Foley turns around and he gets planted by a huge Mic Check! Anderson hooks the leg and the referee begins the count.*
1!
2!
*No! Mick grabbed onto the bottom rope!*
[Jim Ross] What great in ring awareness from Mankind.
[Michael Cole] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't believe I got stuck sitting through another Mick Foley match!
*Mankind is still out from the shot and he rolls onto the apron. Mr. Anderson is clearly irate as he goes over to the corner and starts to untie the turnbuckle pad.*
[Jerry Lawler] Hey! He's exposing that steel turnbuckle!
*The referee stops him and the two begin to argue. Suddenly, Mankind is taken off from the apron mysteriously, and ANOTHER Mankind comes out from under the ring!*
[Michael Cole] What the hell?
[Jerry Lawler] JR? Am I seeing double?
*The other Mankind slides into the ring as the referee repairs the turnbuckle. Anderson turns and is shocked; the other Mankind quickly taking advantage and hitting a Double Arm DDT!*
[Michael Cole: HEY! RING THE BELL! COME ON!
*The other Mankind slides out of the ring and throws Mick back in as the referee turns around. The ref is confused as both men are down.*
[Jim Ross] What in the hell is going on here?
[Jerry Lawler] Anything can happen in XWL!
*The real Mankind slowly gets to his feet, also confused. He quickly takes advantage and pulls Mr. Socko to a huge pop.*
[Michael Cole] Oh no! Not that disgusting sticky sock!
*Mick calls for Anderson to get up, and when he finally does, he gets spun around and Mankind applies the Mandible Claw!*
[Jerry Lawler] AAAAHHHH!
*The crowd is going nuts as Anderson quickly begins to fade. He falls to his back as Mankind keeps the pressure on. The referee notices that Anderson is knocked out and he calls for the bell.*
[Justin Roberts] Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match, Mankind!
[Michael Cole] You got to be kidding me!
[Jim Ross] I kid you not.
*The crowd pops as Mankind raises his fist high in the air, celebrating his victory. The fake Mankind steps up from the outside and claps his hands.*
[Jerry Lawler] There he is!
*Mick is confused as the impostor steps into the ring.
[Michael Cole] Come on! Show yourself!
*The referee and Mick Foley stare in confusion as the other Mankind begins to unstrap his mask. Eventually he takes it off..... and it's Johnny Curtis!*
[Jerry Lawler] Ha ha! I knew it!
[Michael Cole]
*The crowd pops as Johnny Curtis raises Mick's hand in the ring. Foley quickly takes it away before telling him to get out. Curtis smirks and follows orders.*
[Jim Ross] You want to talk about unpredictable..... look no further than Johnny Curtis.
[Michael Cole] This is a travesty! Mankind or Mick Foley, whatever you want to call him, has no business in the ring and that weird Johnny Curtis has no business being here at all!
[Jerry Lawler] Say whatever you want, but things just got weird!
*Foley celebrates his victory on the top rope as the crowd applauds. Curtis, still dressed in his Mankind outfit, stands on the stage smiling. Digital Decision fades out to it's next segment.*

*As the previous segment comes to a close, we head to the arena where Justin Roberts is seen standing there with a microphone in hand. After a little bit of waiting, Justin raises the microphone and begins to announce the next match up of tonight's Pay-Per-View.*
[[Justin Roberts]] Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall!
*The theme of former XWL Diva Champion, Michelle McCool, begins to play throughout the arena. She is greeted with a good amount of boos as she walks out from the back. Michelle stops at the top of the stage and spins around, performing her signature taunt with her arms raised and back towards the crowd.*
[[Justin Roberts]] Introducing first from Palatka, Florida. Michelle McCool!
*Michelle spins around once more till she is facing the ring and begins to make her way down to the ring, ignoring all the fans who boo her.*
*She turns the corner of the ring and makes her way over to the ring apron. She steps up onto it and extends her leg out as she usually does before entering the ring. She walks over to the closest turnbuckle and climbs onto the second rope with her head down close to the turnbuckle pad. She then raises herself as she flicks off her hood and spreads her arms out wide as the fans boo her.*
*Michelle lowers her arms and stands on the turnbuckle for a second, looking out into the crowd. After about 10ish seconds, she steps off the turnbuckle and removes her jacket. Michelle waits in the ring for Kaitlyn, leaning against the ropes obviously not worried at all.*
*Michelle's theme stops playing and a little bit later the theme of Kaitlyn begins to play throughout the arena as the crowd burst into cheers.*
*Kaitlyn comes bursting out from the back, excited to be in Las Vegas, Nevada. She goes to the top of the stage and stops there, raising one arm and pointing out towards the MGM Garden Arena crowd.*
[[Justin Roberts]] And her opponent... From Houston, Texas. Kaitlyn!
*Kaitlyn lowers her arm and begins to make her way down the ramp with a smile on her, happy to be facing Michelle McCool again because of the stipulation if Kaitlyn wins. She gives out some high fives to fans who hold their hands out towards her and as she reaches the end of the ramp, she gives one lst high five before making her way to the steps.*
*Kaitlyn makes her way up the steps and into the ring. Kaitlyn runs against the ropes and bounces back to do her signature tuck and roll before ending it near the ropes, on her knees, with her arms spread out and another smile across her face. She lowers her arms and stays there for a bit, soaking in the cheers from the crowd.*
*Kaitlyn gets to her feet and begins to look over at McCool as both girls pace around the ring. Kaitlyn has a bit more of a confident look on her face as opposed to the more serious, intense look which fills the face of McCool. As both divas continue their stare down, Justin Roberts begins to speak about the stipulation of the match.
[[Justin Roberts]] And now it is time to reveal which stipulation this match will be consisted under. Will it be a Submission match? A No Count Match? Or A Strap Match? If you would please, turn your attention to the titantron and the results of the voting will be revealed.
*A drum roll is head throughout the arena as Kaitlyn, Michelle and all the fans in attendance turn to the titantron in anticipation. As the drum roll comes to a close, the results of the fan voting appears on the titantron.*
*The fans cheer and both Michelle and Kaitlyn have a pretty satisfied look on their face as they just found out choice C, Strap Match, has won in what was a landslide victory. The referee is handed a strap and he begins to put it around the wrist of both divas, checking to make sure it won't slip off. After both Divas are ready, the referee calls for the bell which begins the match.*
The two Diva’s stare at each other from opposite sides of the ring. McCool has her eye’s Deadlocked on Kaitlyn who simply smiles and locks her eyes on McCool. The referee approaches them and makes sure they understand the ruling. A few minutes later he’s handed the strap from a ring side worker. He approaches both Kaitlyn and Michelle and ask them to hold out their arms. McCool looks hesitant at first. In noticing this Kaitlyn begins to taunt her lightly implying McCool’s afraid of the outcome. Michelle simply looks at the referee and yells at him to put the strap on her arm. He motion’s for Kaitlyn. She walks over and stands just inches from McCool. Michelle tries to grab at Kaitlyn but she side-step’s her and then reaches her arm toward the ref. He ties the other end of the strap onto it. He looks at both Diva’s and asks if their ready. They both nod and he signals for the bell.
Almost immediately Michelle begins to sprint towards one of the turnbuckles opposite her. Kaitlyn shows a bit of a struggle. When with one quick tug she pulls back hard on the strap causing McCool to fall on her backside. She gets up and looks around. The crowd begins to laugh. McCool shrugs it off and walks inches from Kaitlyn. McCool begins screaming at her. Insisting Kaitlyn doesn’t know who she’s messing with. In an instant Michelle goes to turn but immediately rear’s back and tries to nail Kaitlyn with an elbow. Kaitlyn catches Michelle’s arm and delivers an elbow of her own. Michelle begins to stagger. Kaitlyn rushes towards her and knocks Michelle down with a devastating clothesline. The crowd begins to cheer for the Diva. She grabs Michelle by the hair, hoist her into the air and delivers a devastating scoop slam hard to the mat. Michelle grabs her back from the pain. Kaitlyn looks at her and picks her up.
Michelle counters out of nowhere with a vicious poke to the eye. Kaitlyn stunned tries to clear her vision. Michelle grabs her by the hair and with one quick turn drops Kaitlyn back first across McCool’s knee. Kaitlyn holds her back slowly trying to rise. McCool laughs and kick’s her in the head causing her to stumble. She slowly sits her upwards and delivers a measured kick to the back of Kaitlyn. Michelle glares at the fans before mounting on top of Kaitlyn. Michelle looks around and locks in the camel clutch. Kaitlyn begins to scream in pain. Michelle shoving her face screaming for her to tap. The referee urges Michelle that Kaitlyn cannot tap. Michelle smirks and as Kaitlyn begins to rise Michelle rushes at her nailing her in the face with a devastating big boot. Michelle gets up and slowly begins to drag the unaware Kaitlyn to one of the corners. Suddenly as Michelle tries to pull Kaitlyn, she looks back to see Kaitlyn on her feet. Her foot on top of the strap. She shakes her head no.
Michelle grabs the strap in her hands and attempts to pull the strap outfrom underneath Kaitlyn's foot but she is unsuccessful as Kaitlyn won't budge. Kaitlyn leans down and picks up the strap as Michelle looks to be a bit worried. The match is once again at a stand point, both divas staring each other down as Kaitlyn begins to pull on the strap, looking to get Michelle closer to her. As she draws closer, Michelle quickly takes advantage of the situation and hits a low yakuza kick to the shin of Kaitlyn, causing her to fall down to a knee and the strap falls out of her hands. Michelle lets out a somewhat evil like smile as she grabs the strap and holds it up in the air for the crowd to see. She looks down at Kaitlyn before sending the strap down onto Kaitlyn's back, leaving a long red mark. The fans boo Michelle as she drops the strap and begins to brush her hands together, her confidence growing as well as her cockyness.
Michelle begins to make her way over to the first turnbuckle, walking without a worry in the world as of right now. She reaches the 1st turnbuckle pad of the four needed and raises her hand before sending it slapping down onto the turnbuckle, signaling only three more are needed. She begins to make her way over to the second turnbuckle, looking back at Kaitlyn on the way. She reaches it after a short amount of time and slaps it just as she did the first one, now meaning Michelle only needs two more in a row to win the match. But as she makes her way to the third, she is suddenly stopped by the strap and when she looks back, Kaitlyn is not fully up but she managed to get her arm around the rope, stopping Michelle from going any farther. Michelle trys to reach for the turnbuckle but it is no use, Kaitlyn has her arm firmly locked against the rope. This causes the fans to cheer now that they know Kaitlyn is still in this.
Michelle looks at her and motions for her to bring it. Kaitlyn smirks as she does the same to McCool. Michelle begins to rush towards Kaitlyn when Kaitlyn counters out of nowhere with a drop-toe hold sending Michelle to the mat. She lifts McCool and delivers a devastating backbreaker. Michelle lands with a thud on the mat. She looks around and picks Michelle up. She lifts her up into an atomic drop before switching to a back suplex in a move she calls the Wedgie Bomb. Michelle hit’s the canvas hard. Kaitlyn aware that McCool is out casually makes her way over to one of the corners. The fans begin to cheer as she slaps the corner with the strap. Michelle slowly begins to stir, Kaitlyn aware goes by Michelle‘s head and delivers a big leg drop to the back of McCool‘s neck. She begins to walk over to another corner and almost immediately slaps it with the strap. The referee holds up two fingers.
Kaitlyn goes to get the third turnbuckle. As she slowly begins to slap the buckle, seemingly out of nowhere McCool gets to her feet. She tugs and pulls at the strap. Kaitlyn begins doing some tugging of her own. The two Diva‘s succomb to a test of strength. With each pull Kaitlyn inches closer and closer to the third turnbuckle. Inches from it she raises her hand into the air. Suddenly Michelle rushes at her. Kaitlyn a step ahead, dodges Michelle sending her chest first into the turnbuckle. As she begins to stagger around Kaitlyn rushes towards her, leaping into the air with all her might, she lands on top of McCool delivering a big running cross body. After a few minutes Michelle begins to stir again and rushes towards Kaitlyn a second time. Kaitlyn waits and delivers a measured elbow to McCool sending her backwards. Kaitlyn smiles and as Michelle comes rushing back catches her by the arm sending her flying to the mat. She looks around as the crowd begins to cheer. She slowly raises the strap into the air and slaps it down seconds later.
The crowd begins to cheer. As the final stages of the match are now set. Kaityln one-upping McCool with the slapping of that last turnbuckle. The referee points to McCool and raises his fingers in the air. Then points to Kaitlyn and show‘s her count. The fans begin to cheer as Kaitlyn has the obvious edge over McCool. Kaitlyn passes by Michelle and bends down to whisper “time to apologize McCool“ when seeming out of nowhere Michelle springs to her feet and delivers a big European uppercut to Kaitlyn‘s face. Kaitlyn taken aback falls to the mat. Several minutes later she slowly rises to her feet. McCool motioning for her to get up. Kaitlyn slowly begins to turn when McCool with one swift motion delivers a devastating McKick to the side of Kaitlyn‘s head. Kaitlyn falls in a heap. Michelle looks around and raises her hands in the air. As the crowd begins to boo Michelle lifts the unconscious Kaitlyn and locks her head between her legs. In an instant she hoist her into the air and delivers a big faith breaker implanting Kaitlyn‘s face hard into the canvas. Michelle waste absolutely no time and drags Kaitlyn‘s lifeless body to the corner. She carefully places her in the corner. She looks around before backing up. McCool screams at the top of her lungs and hits Kaitlyn square in the jaw with a big knee to the head. Kaitlyn falls to the mat instantly. Michelle casually walks over to the corner beside the fallen Diva’s head and slaps the post with the strap.
Michelle looks around and grab Kaitlyn by the hair. She slowly begins to raise her until the two Diva‘s are at eye level with one another. Michelle begins to trash talk the semi-conscious Kaitlyn. Smirking she rear‘s back and slaps Kaitlyn hard on the cheek. Kaitlyn staggers backwards and somehow her hand falls againsat the turnbuckle as she falls in a heap. The referee points to both and signal‘s it‘s all tied up. Michelle‘s face turns white and she frantically begins to pull Kaitlyn to the corner across from them. Dragging, clawing, fighting to pull the lifeless Kaitlyn towards the fourth and final buckle. Michelle can see the win in her sights. Just inches from the pad Michelle reaches out. When suddenly she‘s shoved hard towards the turnbuckle. Michelle stumbles sending herself shoulder first into the ring post. Michelle lays motionless for a few minutes. Kaitlyn begins to stir and slowly begins to rise to her feet. She slowly walks, holding her head, towards the fourth and final buckle. Michelle begins to stir as well. She begins to clear her head and musters the courage to grap onto the ropes. She looks back at Kaitlyn who slowly makes her way over. Michelle looks around at the crowd when out of nowhere she‘s pulled in the direction of Kaitlyn. As McCool comes rushing towards her Kaitlyn lays Michelle out with a dropkick to the chin. She looks around and dives towards the final turnbuckle. The tip of the strap touches the top as Kaitlyn falls to the mat. The referee signal‘s for the bell and rushes over to the two Diva‘s. He unties their hands and helps Kaitlyn out of the ring. Her music begins to go off when the camera cuts to Michelle. Visibly shaken, she looks about ready to cry, knowing what just happen.
The camera focuses on McCool who just sits stunned for several minutes. Suddenly, it hits her, she has lost and tears begin to stream down the face of the fallen former Champion. Michelle sttaggers to her feet after what seems like ages and asks for a mic. She looks around, tears pouring down her face. She calms herself and glares around at the audience. They begin to lightly cheer for her when she raises the mic to speak.
{Michelle} … I.. If. Y’all think for one second I’m apologizing you got another thing coming. Y’all can sit there and say “but Michelle Kaitlyn won you have to apologize. It’s part of the match”. Well, listen here y’all, I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do. I’m Michelle McCool, I don’t apologize to people they, apologize to me! If you really want to hear me say anything in the way of an apology how about this.
Michelle looks towards the ramp as Kaitlyn is standing there being held up by the referee
{Michelle} Kaitlyn! Hun, congratulations, you did it girl. You finally did it. You set your mind to something and you did it, congratulations Hun, you beat me. Now, as far as this little apology goes, how about we try this? I’m sorry that Kelly stuck her nose where it didn’t belong and that it cost her some time in this ring. Causew we all know where she is when she’s not in this ring right y’all? I’m sorry Kelly doesn’t have the stamina in that little “body “ of her’s to keep up with the likes of me. Oh, and most of all Kaitlyn Hun, I’m sorry you even put yourself through this. Coz Hun, if you think for one second I’m going to apologize.. Then you’re dead wrong. This is as close of an apology you’ll get and that’s
REA….
Michelle goes to finish speaking when suddenly a theme blasts through the arena’s speakers. She looks around in confusion as to what’s going on.
Out on the stage appears Michelle's former tag-team partner and "BFF" the woman that just retained her title earlier in the night, Layla. Once again we see the absolute confusion of Michelle's face before we switch back to the Divas Champion who's now donning street apparel with her title around her shoulder and microphone in her hand. As Layla continues her walk down the ramp Michelle just stands still confused by her friend's appearance out here. She takes a few steps further before passing Kaitlyn and reaching the bottom of the ramp.
{King} Well this is a bit unexpected...Layla has been highly critical of Michelle in recent months but now she's making her way out to the ring, I wonder what could've sparked her need to come out here?
{JR} Who knows, Layla is a very confident woman, but it seems as if she thinks she's above everyone in the divas division, and we heard her earlier when she practically took a shot at every diva on the roster.
{Michael Cole} To be fair most of the things she said were true.
{JR} I wouldn't go that far..
Layla has reached the top of the steps now, and after re-positioning her title she enters the ring just glaring at Michelle, no friendly smile, no cutesy wave at the woman she's known for a very long time, instead just an empty, emotionless and intense stare as the fans all remain silent, while Michelle still doesn't understand why she's out here.
{Layla} My god you're pathetic, are you actually crying? Boo hoo 'Chelle, boo hoo.
Michelle just seems at a loss for words at how her "British Best Friend Forever" can be talking to her this way.
{Layla} You know there are a lot of things I could say about you, but honestly, you're not worth it. In fact you should be thanking me for even coming out here and saving you from once again following through with your weekly routine of embarrassing yourself. Did you really just try to insult someone while tears just rolled down your face? That is wrong on so many levels it's not even funny. But you know what is funny? The fact that through our stint as Lay-Cool, everyone pegged you as the "talent" and that I was holding you back, and that without you I'd be nothing. Ha! If those people could see us now...We've really proven them otherwise haven't we? Of course you don't really have anything to proud of about that, now do you? Because unlike me, the Divas Champion, the woman that has made history in the year we've been apart, you've not been so lucky, have you? Hell, you haven't had any luck at all! Every match, every pay-per-view, it's always the same, and surprise surprise, tonight wasn't any different. While I successfully retained my title at the start of the show, here you are just minutes after losing what, your fiftieth match in a row or something?
{Michelle} Why are yo-
Suddenly Layla slaps her right across the face! Mild boos follow, the fans seem surprisingly sympathetic towards McCool.
{Layla} Shut up!
Michelle seems annoyed as she rubs her cheek with her hand from the stinging slap she just received.
{Layla} I'm sick and tired of having to hear about your latest failure, I've had it up to here with you parading around as if you're god's gift to this division, you must have us confused, see, I'm the person that can actually win a match, you're the loser that gets her ass handed to her by every diva that finds their way into this company. While I've beaten damn near everyone that there is to beat, you've been beaten by diva that's aren't even fit to lace my boots! I've improved 'Chelle, I've become the best, and it's obvious you've lost what talent you had, and you now fall under the same category as Smelly Kelly. Which by the way, that was my creativity that came up with that nickname, so if I hear you use it, or any of the other names that I created, I'll put you out of your misery once and for all. Do we have an understanding?
She remains silent, not wanting to get into words with the woman that was her friend for so long, which annoys Layla up to the point where she sends another disrespectful slap her way. Boos follow Layla's physical act of belittling Michelle, and she just looks stunned more so than the last, almost angry, but still in a state of utter disbelief.
{Layla} I'm talking to you! You sure as hell may not be able to back up a damn thing you say, but I know you can still hear, so I won't ask again...
Her silence annoys Layla to the point where Layla swings her hand back slapping her with such force Michelle collapses to the mat.
{Layla} Get up!
Michelle starts to try to pull herself up bracing her hands against the mat only for Layla to swipe her back down with a forceful push.
{Layla} You know what? You're not even worth it, and that's real talk.
She turns to leave the ring, stepping out onto the apron with the fans booing her actions and words quite loudly, she begins to make her way down the steps and that's when Michelle begins to stir finally, Layla sees this on the tron, and for once it looks as if maybe she's feeling bad about how she's talked to Michelle...They were inseparable before, the elite divas in XWL at one time. Layla then turns her head around looking at Michelle just on her hands and knees confused as to why her BFF would treat her like this. A feint sigh comes from The Divas Champion as she places her title down on the steps, then steps back into the ring.
{Michael Cole} I knew she couldn't be that heartless, Michelle's going through a tough time, she needs a friend like Layla to help her bounce back.
{JR} It is rather strange that she'd show remorse after tearing into her best friend like that, but I suppose better late than never.
Layla goes over to Michelle extending her hand, a smile comes across her face to show how genuine she is, Michelle looks at Layla, just completely confused by everything but thankful that her friend for so long seems sorry for being so straight forward she grabs hold of her hand and is slowly helped up to her feet. Layla mouths "I'm sorry 'Chelle" before stunning the crowd with a swift kick to Michelle's gut, then spins her around nearly breaking her neck with a sickening Lay-Out!
{King} What the?!
{JR} Or not...Layla just laid out the woman that she's known as a friend for a number of years!
{Michael Cole} I don't know what to say...
Layla's theme sounds throughout the arena once again, she rises up to her feet with a devious grin on her face, Michelle's laid flat on the mat motionless, the impact of that neckbreaker along with her best friend basically stabbing her in the back is just too much for her to handle. With that Layla steps back out onto the apron grabbing her title, and begins a long walk up the ramp where she's met by disapproving eyes and boos the entire way. She looks back over her shoulder as she reaches the top of the ramp and just smirks at what's she done which is where we fade away to the beginning of a video hype for the World Heavyweight Championship match in our main-event.

Subject: Re: XWL Digital Decision: 7/1/2012 - 7/8/2012 Sat Jul 07, 2012 8:44 pm
*As Digital Decision continues, Justin Roberts is stood in the ring*
Justin Roberts: This following contest is a ladder match, and it is for the United States championship!
*When Roberts finishes speaking Daniel Bryan's theme begins to blast through the PA system to a positive response from the crowd*
*As the challenger walks out onto the stage the crowd cheer again, then Bryan points to the sky shouting YES, and continues to do so down to the ring as the crowd shout YES along with him*
Michael Cole: Oh great, this guy. Why does he get another shot at the United States championship? He's already had two and he blew them both!
Jim Ross: Blew them both? Michaels get himself disqualified in one and the other General Manager Mick Foley deemed that a bad call by the referee cost Daniel Bryan the match.
Michael Cole: He tapped out anyway! He's a loser!
*As he reaches the ring hhe shouts YES once more time to a large cheer from the crowd, then he enters the ring*
Jerry Lawler: Daniel Bryan's anything but a loser Cole, he's had some huge wins over top superstars in XWL, including the United States champion just a few weeks ago.
Jim Ross: I'm really impressed by the kid's attitude, I like his style and I think he stands a great chance tonight against his former mentor even though the odds aren't in his favour.
*Bryan then removes his ring jacket and hands it to a worker at ringside as he stands waiting for his opponent*
Jerry Lawler: I can't believe the XWL fans voted a ladder match, JR. Don't get me wrong I can't wait, but it seems clear that this match suits Shawn Michaels then it does Daniel Bryan.
Michael Cole: That's because the fans are idiots, Shawn told you that earlier!
Jim Ross: And now he await for champions entrance.
*As Bryan's theme fades out the crowd begin to chant his name for a few seconds, then Shawn Michaels theme begins to play turning the chants into boos*
*When Shawn walks out onto the stage with belt in hand the crowd's boos grow larger and he walks down to the ring with his other arm held up high*
Michael Cole: Now here's a man that IS a winner! The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels! The LONGEST reigning United States champion in the history of XWL!
Jim Ross: He might be that but I don't like how he gets things done, he use's underhanded tactics and cheats his way to any victory he can get.
Michael Cole: Some would say that's the mark of a great champion, and if you ask me, it is.
*As Shawn reaches ringside he hops up onto the ring apron, shakes his hair lose then enters the ring*
Jim Ross: Well I don't agree with that notion at all, when you're as talented as Michaels is, you shouldn't need to cheat to get the upper hand.
Jerry Lawler: There's no taking away from his in ring abilities, but quite frankly his whole attitude in and out of the ring stinks.
*Shawn walks over to the center of the ring and perform his signature pose as fireworks go off behind him right to left and left to right, then he stands back up, and unzips his entrance gear*
Michael Cole: Well can you blame him, thanks to Mick Foley he's had to make some serious downgrades in his life, he doesn't even have a private dressing room for god's sake, how can you treat a man of his stature like that?
*As Shawn's theme fades out both men back off to opposite ring corners as Justin Roberts make the prematch introductions*
Justin Roberts: Introducing first the challenger from Aberdeen, Washington, weighing 210pounds, The American Dragon! Daniel Bryan!
*As Roberts introduces him Daniel Bryan holds up with arms and shouts "YES!" and the crowd cheer and begin to chant "YES, YES, YES" and as Robert's begin to speak again the chants turn to boo's as Michaels steps forward*
Justin Roberts: And his opponent from San Antonio, Texas, weighing 225pounds, he is the current United States champion! The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
*Shawn holds up his championship infront of Daniel Bryan's face as the crowd continue to boo, then takes a step backwards and hands his championship to the referee who wraps it around a steel loop and it's raised fifteen foot above the ring, then the referee exits the ring and signals for the bell*
United States Championship
Daniel Bryan vs. Shawn Michaels (C)
Ladder Match
As the bell rings both men come out of their corners and walk to the middle of the ring and stare each other down as Bryan once again raises his arms and shouts YES! right in Michaels face who in return quickly slaps him across his face then performs the Crotch Chop and shuts "Suck It!" at Daniel Bryan. The challenger quickly responds with a forearm to Michaels jaw, who replies with a Knife-edge chop across the Pecs of Bryan, who quickly begin to trade blows back to forth, forearms from Bryan and chops by the champion, as they trade blows, Michaels starts to gain the advantage, repeatedly chops Bryan, the challenger backs up into the ropes and Shawn continues to chop away at his chest. Shawn then takes a step or two back then clotheslines Bryan over the top rope to the protective padding outside the ring.
Michael Cole: Michaels is really taking it to Bryan in the early going in this match, and I've got to say it doesn't surprise me one bit.
Jim Ross: It's still very early in the match up Cole, there's a long way to go yet.
As Bryan gets to his feet on the outside of the ring, Michaels grabs the top rope and dives over onto Bryan hitting him with a Crossbody Plancha, then hits Bryan in the head with a stiff punch to Bryan's head, he then gets back up to his feet and pulls a ladder from underneath the ring, and slides it into the ring
Michaels then rolls back into the ring and picks the ladder up and props it in the corner leaning on the turnbuckle, then quickly rolls back outside the ring to grab Daniel Bryan and roll him back into the ring and pulls him up in the turnbuckle opposite the ladder, then grabs his arm and whips him across he ring, but Bryan counters with his own Irish Whip and launches Michaels towards the ladder, and he bounces off it and over the top rope to the outside of the ring, near the announcers table
With both men on the outside Daniel Bryan grabs Shawn by the head and slams it into the steel steps as the crowd shout "YES!", then Bryan grabs Shawn by the head again and slams it into the steps again which is quickly followed by another roar of "YES!" from the crowd
As Bryan continues to hit Michaels head on the steps, Michaels tries to walk away but Bryan follows him then slams Shawn's head into the announcers table which is followed by yet another huge "YES!" from the crowd then he rolls Michaels onto the announcers table, then jumps up on the table, standing above the champions body then points into the sky and shouts "YES" repeatedly as the crowd chant along
Daniel Bryan then kneels down and grabs Shawn's arm and head and locks in his patented submission hold the LeBell Lock with Michaels laying on the announcers table, screaming "YES" over and over again, applying more and more pressure to the hold, and Michaels begins to tap out on the table cover
When Bryan releases the hold he points to the sky again and shouts YES and receives a large pop from the crowd. He then descends from the announcers table and enters the ring, grabbing the ladder and pulling in to the middle of the ring underneath the championship, however suffers from difficulties locking in the sliding mechanism in place wasting valuable time
Eventually Bryan sets the ladder up completely and begins to climb up rung by rung. As he gets near the top he extends his arms reaching out for the belt and touches it with his finger tips then climbs two more rungs and reaches out again. As he gets a hand on the championship, the camera angle quickly changes as Michaels dives off the top rope and Missile Dropkicks the ladder sending Daniel Bryan crashing down to the mat with a harsh landing
As both men lay on the floor the camera's replay Daniel Bryan climbing the ladder as Michaels slumps off the announcers table, and slowly climbs up onto the ring apron then onto the top rope before diving off
As Bryan remains laying in the ring Michaels picks the ladder back up and drops it on Daniel Bryans back before dragging it back to the middle of the ring and begins to climb up himself
As Shawn begins to climb up the ladder, Bryan gets back to his feet and pulls on Shawn's leg forcing him to hop off the ladder then is quickly met by the high kick to the head by Daniel Bryan, who then begins to climb the ladder himself
As Bryan reaches half way up the ladder Michaels begins to climb up the other side with Bryan trying to reach the belts before Shawn can reach him, but to no avail. As Shawn reaches the top Bryan quickly starts to punch Shawn in the temple a few times, then raises his foot around the ladder and kicks Shawn in the head once more forcing HBK off the ladder, who hits the ropes on the way down and falls into the ladder knocking it over, but Bryan luckily this time lands on his feet, but feels a tweak in his knee as he feels it and tries to shake it off
With Bryan not being able to capitalise on the opportunity he waits for Michaels to get to his feet, when hob/runs towards him, but Michaels with great ring awareness ducts out of the way and sends Bryan over the top rope and onto the ring apron. As Shawn goes to punch Bryan off, Bryan shoulders him in the gut, then Back Body Drops him over the top rope to the outside, with Shawn’s back hitting the side of a fallen ladder on the mat forcing the crowd to burst out in a chant of "Holy Shit"
With Michaels down on the outside of the ring, Bryan re-enters the ring and drags the ladder into the middle of the ring again, then stops as his knee continues to cause him pain, then re-sets the ladder's pin in position, but one won't seem to lock in place, so begins to wobble, as Bryan slowly climbs the ladder with one arm holding his knee, he sheepishly climbs the ladder rung by eventual rung...as Michaels begins to move on the outside
As Michaels rolls back in under the bottom rope, Bryan now about half way up the ladder notices Michaels climbing up the other side now in a race to the top both men begin to climb faster as the ladder begins to shake more as more until Bryan reaches the top and lifts his arms up for the belt, but instead is hit in the gut with a punch from Shawn Michaels, which causes Bryan to turn his attention to his opponent, as the two begin to brawl on top of the ladder, and with each movement the ladder shakes a bit more
After a few seconds of trading blows Bryan once again gets the advantage, then goes for the finishing punch, but the ladder buckles sending both men crashing down with down men hitting the top rope groin first
As Shawn slumps to the ring mat, Bryan's right left gets tangled up between the top and middle ropes with his body on the mat, unable to move with Shawn laying just a mere few feet away from him
As Bryan continues to struggle trying to get himself free, Michaels gets too his feet and after a moment he realises the situation, and pulls the ladder back up in the middle of the ring and Bryan keeps trying to get free
As Shawn climbs the ladder rung by rung, Bryan can be heard screaming NO!, knowing his chance to win the gold has been blown, then Shawn reaches out for the championship and pulls it down ending the match
S P O I L E R S
*As the bell rings the victors music begins to play as Justin Roberts announces the champion*
Justin Roberts: And the winner of his match and STILL United States champion! The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!
*Shawn remains on top of the ladder, exhausted and in pain, clutching his championship with both arms as the crowd boo at how he retained the championship*
Michael Cole: YES! The reign lives on! Long live Shawn Michaels! He has proved once again why he is the greatest United States champion in the history of this company! What a victory for Shawn Michaels!
Jim Ross: But you have to admit he was lucky, if Daniel Bryan's foot hadn't got stuck I believe we would be seeing a new champion right now.
Michael Cole: Believe what you want Jim, seeing is believing and I'm seeing Shawn Michaels with the United States championship!
*As Shawn climbs down the ladder he walks over the Daniel Bryan and bends over right above him dangling his championship in one arm and shouts "YES!" to a large boo from the crowd, then he exits the ring*
Jerry Lawler: What a classless move by the champion, how can you be proud a man like that holds a championship for this company?
Michael Cole: A man like that? I wish more of your so called superstars on Breakdown were actually stars like HBK, then maybe Redemption would have some competition!
Jim Ross: Speaking of competition the next time we will be on pay-per-view will be at Supremacy in a months time where we will crown a new King of the Ring winner, which of course last year was won by CM Punk!
*As Shawn walks up the ramp, he turns around to face the ring and holds up his championship once more as the cameras fade out*
Would of been alot longer with commentary and stuff but I didn't have time.

((Tyler Reks)) Hey man, sorry I missed seeing who won the vote for your match. I wanted to get some Mountain Dew, but all they had was Sierra Mist, then I went to The Strip, and I saw David Blaine standing on a pole, it was really we...yo, you listening dude?
*Reks looks over and notices Hawkins isn't giving a single fuck, looking up at the ceiling extremely grumpy.*
((Tyler Reks)) Well anyway, I got back to the arena, and I took a sip of the Sierra Mist and I left the rest in catering, and apparently Goldust took it to his dressing room. I had no clue he even still worked here to be honest with you, but I'm not going to go and ask for it back or he might block me on Twitter...hey, you listening dude.
((Curt Hawkins)) ...
((Tyler Reks)) Something wrong, bro?
((Curt Hawkins)) ...Why, yes. Yes there is. For one, my neck is still sore from getting a leg drop from Big Show last week, after the bell might I remind you. I got news that my brother's dog got hit by a car, oh, and to top it all off I didn't win the vote.
((Tyler Reks)) Dude, at least tell me the midget won against JBL?
((Curt Hawkins)) Who gives a crap if JBL feuds with a midget!? What's next, Ezekiel Jackson is going to feud with the Katie Vick mannequin? Or maybe you can feud with the ghost of Scott Steiner's career?
((Tyler Reks)) See dude, I come from a highly educated university, and that midget had a 141 and 2/3rds percent chance of winning!
((Curt Hawkins)) Anyways, so back to Big Show...
((Tyler Reks)) HE'S FAT!
((Curt Hawkins)) Shut up. He won the vote for the match.
((Tyler Reks)) Tell me you're joking. You're definitely pulling my leg. You won didn't you?
((Curt Hawkins)) Do I look like I'm joking?
((Tyler Reks)) I mean, it'd be better if you were. I hate whenever Ted DiBiase tries to crack jokes on camera. So corny...
((Curt Hawkins)) I heard rumors that people on the internet think you're pretty funny, maybe you should be a comedian instead of a bodyguard.
((Tyler Reks)) Who cares what the Internet thinks?
((Curt Hawkins)) Good point. Let's get out of here, this place smells like failure and body odor.
((Tyler Reks)) Yeah, I forgot to pack my deodorant, my bad dude. I'll grab your bags...
*Hawkins walks out of camera view, Reks stays in view and smiles at the camera.*
((Tyler Reks)) At least he didn't fire me. I'm gonna hit the big time, baby!
*Reks leaves camera shot as we cut to our next segment.*

*After both men make their entrances, they stand across the ring from each other, staring at the other man. Christian throws the Intercontinental Title onto his shoulder and makes a cocky gesture towards Davey, showing nothing but confidence going into tonight's Intercontinental Championship match. Davey doesn't respond to Christian for he is focused, focused on winning the title. Justin Roberts walks in between that men at about the center of the ring with a microphone in hand as he begins to speak.*

Weird Pie.
When Penguin told me he was promo'ing with Zander I was hoping it was something to do with Curtis. The banter with Vince/Rock before Curtis came in was funny, reminds me of Austin/Vince in 2001. Vince must be such a party beast. Curtis mocking Rock was funny as hell, and of course turning around questions the only way he can. I liked Curtis stealing Rock's catchphrase because it highlights his quick witted humour. The talk of weird pie made me lol like an idiot at 2am nearly waking my parents up. You two promo well together and kept this promo up in entertaining fashion, great read.
Fav Line
"Under the Weird Constitution, my right to free speech is protected."
The OTHER Mankind
There's not much I can say about this since I didn't watch the videos but I loved the idea of Curtis helping Mick. I was hoping for a feel good moment between them like a handshake but Foley still being strict to him gave me a chuckle, leads to more antics between them, I hope.
Kyle
It's cool to see Michelle appear again in XWL, she must be well rested and ready for her match after such a long promo absence. The writeup was fun to read and there was a lot of interesting spots in it when the strap was brought in to play. I liked the finish, it was quite dramatic yet realistic. There was a lot of struggle throughout the match but I'm glad there was a clear winner in it. Michelle's heel bit of trying to back out of the apology was awesome. Layla coming out was the last thing I expected. Layla really belitted 'Chelle there and I was wondering if Lay-Cool would ever really come to blows. Interesting to see where it can lead from here.
Fav Line
"Y'all."
Ladder
The commentary at the start was a nice read as always, I know you were too busy with work to add in commentary for the match but it's really no big deal since I look at commentary as a bonus. I had high expectations for this writeup and of course you didn't disappoint. Nice to see an explosive start. Playing the YES chants into the writeup a lot was a nice addition. The spot where Bryan was wasting time setting up the ladder properly shows his lack of experience in this match type, a factor I'm glad you included. The ending was a nice flashback to WrestleMania 10 and I hope you bring that up in a promo. Great writeup, even though you may feel it was short I think it still had a large and entertaining amount of content.
Screw reviewing, I wanna watch UFC
The caps fit really well with this promo, from Hawkins' bad attitude they really added a lot. Reks is funny, Hawkins mad, yeah yeah yeah I'm tired and I cba reviewing more.

As Digital decision fades from the last segment we go to a short video package highlighting Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and Davey Richards and which one of them will be granted a world heavyweight title opportunity. As the video package comes to a close we go backstage where Joey Ryan is shown sat down in a room backstage.
Joey Ryan Lights…Camera’s…Action! Digital Decision, the night where Joey Ryan finally puts AJ Styles away once and for all. Now I saw what AJ Styles had to say about me earlier in the show, he isn’t wrong. I did try to end his career and put him out of his misery and I did take away the only thing close to a proper title belt just one week after he had the medal handed to him. Joey Ryan is the man who is on top of the world right now. I have it all planned out and tonight is where I can finally do what I intended to do back when I was the intercontinental champion and put him out for good. You see AJ it’s nothing personal but I am doing you a favour, you are a washed up superstar who’s only good matches here in XWL were last year against Kevin Steen. Ever since then everyone has had your number and it’s being hard for you to even string up a few wins. Joey Ryan proved not only to you but to everyone out there that I am a future world champion. I am in the peak of my career and nothing is going to stop me.
Joey Ryan Tonight is a night where the match is voted by the viewers. The same viewers that show no respect to me each and every week. Only a small percentage of you can actually be called Joey Ryan fans. Only a small percentage of you are actual wrestling fans and don’t support the superstars created for this company. Some of you are actually here for the wrestling and I applaud that. I know that you guys will make a good decision tonight and choose the tables match. But on the other hand it dosen’t matter if you guys choose a steel cage, or even a Ultimate X match. Joey Ryan is one step ahead of AJ Styles and I am the man who is going to be always in the limelight while AJ sits in the shadows of Joey Ryan’s glory. Tonight I will be making history because if you vote the Ultimate X match it will be the first of it’s kind to grace an XWL ring.
Joey Ryan I’ve never being in an Ultimate X match and I don’t see it being any different to a ladder match but just with a few ropes involved. AJ I know you are quite the expert in these matches and I know you are probably doing your research on them and Joey Ryan as we speak. That is a tactic for pussy’s AJ. Do you think Joey Ryan studies up on every wrestler he is booked against? I don’t give a damn about who I am booked against because noone has the talent Joey Ryan has so noone will be able to put on a good fight like only Joey Ryan can.
Joey Ryan Joey Ryan only cares about going out and getting paid.Tonight I am going to show I am done with AJ Styles. I do not intend for their to be another rematch and I definitely do not want to be continuing to fight against a man who is obviously nothing more than a warm up for me. I deserve to be fighting in the main event, Joey Ryan deserves to be out their in the spotlight, stealing the show all of the time! Joey Ryan is a former Intercontinental Champion and an XWL 15 champion. I am the man who is BRINGING SLEAZY BACK to XWL and tonight I am going to be the man who end’s AJ Styles’ career with a lethal dose of Joey Ryan sleaze.
Joey Ryan One last thing, tonight a big announcement was made at the start of the show regarding a upcoming event named King of the ring…I’m not going to talk about what it is I’m sure all of you know it and what it’s about. What you don’t know is all of the superstars who are going to be put forward into this huge tournament. I said that once I ended AJ’s career I wanted to go on to face Christian for the intercontinental title but that plans took a little detour. Joey Ryan is now skipping ahead to making a name for myself and letting everyone know that Joey Ryan is a world title contender, Joey Ryan is a main event player and by that I mean Joey Ryan will be your next King of the ring winner! That is right I'm throwing my name into the hat of contenders. The man with movie star good looks, rockstar charisma and unmatched wrestling talent is going to become the next king of XWL.
Joey Ryan And now before I leave you all I am going to ask the question, that one question which is on everyone’s minds all of the time and that question is….WHO WANTS A MOUSTACHE RIDE?

I like the Lights Camera Action opening line as always, suits him. I like how Joey shrugged it off and said he did try to end AJ's career. The part where he really sucks up to the small audience that is his fans was good, I think his character is underestimating the brutality of the Ultimate X. Especially since he called it just a ladder match with some ropes. I really love Joey being in KOTR because he's a perfect fit for it, I'm a big big fan of you as Joey so I would love to see him bump up to the world title scene. Great promo overall, you and AJ produced top notch stuff this week to hype your match.

Digital Decision returns from a video package for the World Heavyweight Championship match and is taken backstage to a sight you thought you would never see, Joey Ryan and AJ Styles in the same room, along with an array of security guards in between them so they don't kill each other before the match, looking at the monitor, awaiting the choice made by the fans for their match in just a few moments. The Titantron is split into two screens, one showing Joey and AJ eagerly waiting for the match to be revealed and the other with the match choices. The first choice revealed is the percentage of votes for the Steel Cage match, which is a meager 7%. A smirk shows up on the faces of both competitors, as they now know that it will now favor one or the other. The percentage of votes for the remaining two matches are shown simultaneously with the Tables Match, Joey's specialty, gaining 46% while the Ultimate X match, AJ's specialty, just barely managing to beat it with 47%. Joey looks on in disbelieve as AJ is now oozing confidence because he now has the advantage going into this match. A video package plays, highlighting the events leading to this match, as the crew begins assembling the Ultimate X match.
Moments later Joey Ryan is the first man out as his theme hits the P.A. The crowd begin to boo with a few small cheers from hardcore fans of the sleazy superstar. Joey walks down the ramp with the same arrogance as ever not seeming to be fazed by this match. By now ring workers have put the ultimate X framework in place and the 4 ropes which hang 15 feet about the ring have been tightened and are in place. The X symbol hangs in the centre of the ring. As Joey rolls into the ring he looks up and stares at the X before heading over to the far corner of the ring and laying on the top of the ropes. He gloats for a few moments before AJ Styles looks to make an appearance…
AJ comes out to cheers from the fans as he rushes out throwing off his hood and performing his signature taunt to the fans. The fans go crazy as AJ seems to be all geared up and ready to go. He doesn’t slowly walk down the ramp, instead he runs down and slides into the ring before looking to charge at Joey. Joey notices and runs behind the referee who stops AJ from doing anything.
AJ looks up at the X hanging in the centre of the ring before doing his taunt to the fans getting them in the spirit of this match with will go down as the first Ultimate X match in history. Both men get to opposite corners of the ring as the referee looks on and calls for the bell. The crowd cheer as the match begins and both men begin to circle the ring. Immediately AJ makes a beeline for Joey who manages to run and get his body under the second rope. AJ begins to throw punches but the ref is forced to intervene. AJ puts up his arms as the ref pushes him back but Joey takes full advantage of this and kicks AJ in the gut. The ref quickly moves out of the way as AJ is down to one knee. Joey taunts to the fans and points up towards the X. He slowly pulls AJ up to his feet but AJ manages to push Joeys arms away and begins to deliever furious shots to Joey. He knocks him back to the ropes before throwing him into the opposite ropes. Joey manages to hold on and quickly drops, rolling to the outside. AJ follows and throws himself over the top ropes hitting a beautiful senton on Joey. The crowd are lively and excited to see this action so early in the match.
Joey isn’t down long as AJ picks him up and tries to throw him into the steps. Joey counters and sends AJ crashing into the steps. AJ is down clutching his shoulder as Joey laughs and rolls back into the ring. He quickly jumps up onto the top rope and grabs onto the ropes above. The crowd are cheering AJ as he notices this and rolls into the ring still holding his shoulder. He gets to hit feet and is directly below Joey. Joey tries to kick but AJ ducks and begins to mess with Joey. Pulling him down and watching him bounce with the ropes, struggling to keep a tight hold. As time goes on AJ bounces Joey with more and more force until eventually he starts to push Joey. Joey dosen’t seem to be able to hold on no more and with one big push from AJ he jumps back into the ring. AJ goes over and begins to punch Joey before irish whipping him into the corner.
He goes to the opposite corner and looks to be going to hit a huge splash, as he runs towards the corner and jumps into the air the crowd look to be going wild but Joey rolls out of the way! AJ manages to stop himself but turns around to see Joey on one knee. AJ charges at Joey but somehow Joey manages to counter and send AJ head over heels with a huge armdrag. Both men are quick to their feet as AJ tries again to no avail and another armdrag. Both men again get up to their feet quickly as they both simultaneously kip up, AJ charges at Joey but Joey ducks under his arm, both men hit opposite ends of the ring and rebound off the ropes charging towards each other.
AJ and Joey collide in the center of the ring as both men connected with their clotheslines. Both men are down and begin to crawl to opposite sides of the ring. Joey is the first man to his feet and charges at AJ knocking him back down to the mat with a hard forearm to the back of the head. AJ seems to be in some pain as Joey continues the onslaught delivering a series of punches to AJ trying to wear him down. Joey then locks in an armbar trying to work on the arm of AJ. AJ tries to grab on too the bottom rope but Joey lets go of the hold, throwing AJ to the center of the ring and locking in the hold once again. AJ has nowhere to go as Joey continues to work on the arm. The ref cannot do anything as submissions are not a valid way to win. AJ looks to be tapping as Joey applies more pressure and switches to a fujiwara armbar as AJ taps in pain. Joey laughs and keeps the hold applied for a few more seconds before letting go and laughing at what he has just done. AJ rolls around on the floor in agony as Joey looks up and delivers a final stamp to the arm of AJ. Joey then looks up at the X and indicates that he is going to win.
Joey heads outside the ring and searches under the ring, a few seconds later out comes a table which he slides into the ring. Joey also heads around to where the ring workers are sitting and demands a steel chair. He throws the chair in and shortly follows. AJ is pulling himself up with one hand at the moment at the far side of the ring and is unaware Joey is stalking him from behind. Joey grabs the chair and waits for AJ to turn around before nailing him with a huge shot to the back of the head. AJ falls back to the mat as Joey looks to be in complete control. Joey walks around laughing and taunting to the fans. A few fans give some abuse as Joey opens up the second rope for them to enter and as one of them tries security quickly stop any confrontation. Joey throws the chair down at the barrier hoping to scare the fan as he shots abuse but Joey just ignores it and goes back to focusing on AJ. He stomps at the arm and begins to wear down AJ even more.
After a few moments Joey heads to the top rope and begins to climb up one of the steel structures which surround the ring and hold the ropes in place. Joey heads to the top as AJ is slowly getting to his feet. He notices and still holding his arm rushes over and tries to climb the top rope underneath Joey. AJ tries to get up using his arm but is in pain so tries to jump up with the support of his other arm. AJ manages to get up as the crowd slowly begin to rally him along. He latches on too Joey’s foot as he is just a few feet above and begins to deliver stiff forearms to Joey’s back. Joey seems to be getting a weakened grip as AJ grabs on to Joey’s trunks trying to throw him off, the crowd are getting excited as Joey swings off of the steel structure before latching on to a pole. AJ tries again and Joey slips, he is hanging off, feet about the outside of the ring as AJ has a smirk on his face. He begins to climb up the steel structure to the same level as Joey is swinging with one arm clinging on as he slowly begins to lift Joey’s fingers off of the pole. Joey pleads and desperately tries to get AJ to stop but he continues and slowly gets down to just the last finger and kicks him in the gut knocking him off the structure and onto the mat.
Joey lands hard and in an awkward position as AJ looks like this is his chance, he tries to make a decision…to fight Joey or to win the match. The crowd are on their feet cheering AJ on as Joey is laying against the barrier on the outside unable to do anything as he is clearly still feeling the effects of that fall. AJ looks at the ultimate X and tries to jump up onto the ropes but he tries with his injured arm. AJ is unable to use his full strength and fails to cling on to the rope, falling down to the mat.
