*As XWL, returns from a commercial break the Redemption cameras head straight to backstage where international sensation Sin Cara is seen to do a interview with his translator.



Josh Matthews: Sin Cara I just want to talk about some things that many fans and followers or your so called "misticos" have been saying about you in the past two weeks you've been in XWL. First of all we know that in your debut match you beat Rhyno as many fans were pleased. We understand that you could not attend Digital Decision, due to you having a kid as that gave you time to spend with your family down in Mexico and it also gave you time to train for your upcoming match. Now earlier tonight we saw that you were given your first title shot in XWL the Xtreme title against Sheamus and reigning champion Ezekeiel Jackson in a 3 way xtreme rules match. We saw that you lost that match and Ezekiel Jackson retained. Can you give us some insight on how you feel and how does this affect the future for you?.


Sin Cara:Bueno Josh, era sin duda una devastadora pérdida teniendo en cuenta que era por el título de Xtreme y el hecho de que le gané a Rhyno la semana antes de que ciertamente me devestated. Pero, como mi abuelo me dijo de vuelta en México, hace muchos años me dijo que el mejor consejo siempre. "Hijo, si alguna vez ha perdido algo en el tiempo la vida ya sea deportiva, novias, championchips o salsa que llevar la cabeza en alto en todo lo momento, será mejor confiar en mí". Siempre he mantenido que el asesoramiento en la parte posterior de mi cabeza, a veces, cuando al im que se preparan para un partido o cuando simplemente se deprimen.


Felix Ramirez: He says "Well Josh, it was certainly a devestating lost considering that it was for the Xtreme title and the fact that I beat Rhyno the week before it certainly devestated me. But as my grandfather told me back in Mexico, many years ago he told me the greatest advice ever. "Son if you ever lose something in your life weather it be sports,girlfriends,championchips or salsa you aways keep your head up at all times everything, will get better trust me". I have always kept that advice in the back of my head at all times when im preparing for a match or when I just get depressed."


Josh Matthews: That's great Sin Cara. Another question I want to ask is how does it feel to be in XWL?. An american based league that only holds the best wrestlers in the world. We all know that you come from Mexico and you shocked and awed everybody there as you became a legend in that community like your grandfather was. How does it feel to be in the most popular and best league in the world among the top greats ever and to surpass your grandfather's legacy into lucha libre and wrestling success?. Also what will you do moving forward to even more impress us beyond the mexican and lucha libre style of wrestling?.


Sin Cara: Bueno Josh su casi me hace llorar por lo que usted acaba de decir, aunque no puedo demostrarlo con mi máscara debido a la tradición de todas las grandes cosas que acabo de decir. Se siente muy bien que tengo este ágape y que puedo llegar a ser lo que siempre ha soñado. Un luchador representando a mi país en el que vivo para estar en la mejor liga de lucha libre cada vez que se lucha entre leyendas de todo el mundo. Y yo no lo habría hecho sin el apoyo de mi familia y mis amigos también a todos mis enemigos que decían que nunca podría hacerlo. ¿Sabes lo que tengo que decir sobre ellos odian es que yo soy mejor que ustedes hijos de puta y voy a seguir luchando hasta que el día que me muera. Gracias papa por todos mis grandes cosas que han llegado a mi vida como yo bendigo a Dios todos los días!.


Felix Ramirez He says "Josh Well its almost makes me sad about what you just said, but I can not prove with my mask because of the tradition of all the great things you just said. It feels great that I have this oppertunity and I can be what iv'e always dreamed of. A fighter representing my country where I live to be in the best league in wrestling every time you fight between legends from around the world. And I would not have done without the support of my family and my friends all my enemies who said they never could. You know what I have to say about them haters is that I'm better than you motherfuckers and I will continue fighting until the day I die. Thanks Papa for all of my big things that have come into my life and I bless God every day!."


Josh Matthews: That's a wonderful and touching story Sin Cara, now I want to ask you just these last questions. What can we expect from you in the coming weeks?. Do you have any problems with anybody in XWL?. And will you be going after the XWL world title in the future?.


Sin Cara: Bueno en primer lugar, Josh, gracias y responder a sus preguntas lo que, se espera de mí en el futuro es un pecado más centrado y más agresivo Cara, entonces usted tiene lo que se ve en los últimos 2 weeeks. Sé que en mis dos primeros partidos sólo estaba bromeando, y debo admitir que estaba complaciendo a mis pequeños místicos. Yo no volveremos a hacerlo en el futuro. Sinceramente, no tengo ningún problema con nadie, excepto un hombre. Ese tipo es el Celtic Warrior Sheamus. Durante la semana pasada que coincida con purposeley fue en pos de mí más que el campeón Ezequiel Jackson. Otra cosa que no me gusta de este tipo es su actitud que nunca parece feliz de que él también tiene firey roja de mal humor en su rostro. Esperemos que la próxima semana tengo un partido con él para darle una lección sobre la lucha real. Y para responder a su última pregunta no, yo no volveremos se centra en ir tras el título mundial XWL todavía. Tengo las tareas más importantes, como Sheamus y por ahora me gustaría ir tras el título Xtreme para construir mi camino como el camino libre traditonal lucha. Eso es todo lo que me gustaría decir por el momento gracias por su tiempo de Josh y tener una gran noche.


Felix Ramirez: He says "Well first of all Josh, thank you and to answer your questions what, you will be expecting from me in the future is a more focused and more agressive Sin Cara, then you have the seen in the last 2 weeeks. I know in my first two matches I was just joking around and I must admit I was pandering to my little misticos. I wil not do that in the future. I honestly don't have any problems with anybody except one guy. That guy is the Celtic Warrior Sheamus. During last week's match he purposeley went after me more then the champion Ezekiel Jackson. Another thing I do not like about this guy is his attitude he never seems happy he also has that firey red grumpy look on his face. Hopefully next week I have a match with him to teach him a lesson about REAL wrestling. And to answer your last question no I wil not be focused on going after the XWL world title just yet. I have more important tasks such as Sheamus and for now I would just like to go after the Xtreme title to build my way up like the traditonal lucha libre way. That is all I would like to say for now thank you for your time Josh and have a great night."





Josh Matthews: Thank you for your time Sin Cara.


*As Sin Cara and Felix Ramirez are walking away the XWL cameras fade to a commercial*





P.S: I wrote this myself and it took me an hour and a half if somebody could review this that would be greatly appreciated!.Btw the translator's name is Felix Ramirez because I just thought of a random mexican name for Sin Cara's, translator.

Divas Match


Maryse vs. Natalya
Miss MitB has her first match since returning from France against a diva in Natalya who had some harsh remarks for her fellow Canadian.

Intercontinental Championship Match




John Cena vs. Christian
John Cena's victory over Curt Hawkins has earned him this title opportunity, can he continue his momentum and walk away the new Intercontinental Champion? Or will Christian's confidence after defending his newly won XWL 15 medal give him what he needs to put away yet another challenger?

*XWL Returns from a commercial beak after the hard fought match between Christian and John Cena. The two gave it their all, and here's none other than John Cena right now to talk about how he felt the match went.*



[John Cena] I don't even know what to say... I thought I had it. I had Christian down from my Attitude Adjustment and it went one, two... But then he kicked out. And it was less than a minute later he hit the killswitch and I couldn't return the favor. Yet again, I have failed to win a big match when I needed to and now that I've lost the title match that was all I've hoped for, I don't know what to do.. I should have walked out of here Intercontinental Champion, but that isn't the case. I guess there's only one thing left for me to do... And that's never give up. I have to show people that just because you lost a few times that there's still a reason you can keep fighting, that title that you want, it can still be yours. Just because I haven't succeeded in capturing it yet doesn't mean I never will, I just have to keep trying, if I try enough times then one of these opportunities is bound to work out for the best and I'm bound to win what I want some day. If that day is the next show or five months from now I couldn't tell you, but I can tell you if I continue to push myself and try as many times as I can then that championship will be mine. I could lose my next five title matches, but if somehow, on that sixth try I find the strength that I didn't have on my previous five then those five won't matter anymore because I'll have won the championship.



[John Cena] The fact is that you can't give up because if there's something you want you might not get it on the first try. I'm willing to try as many times as possible to win that championship whether Christian is still holding it or someone else, I don't care because I am determined to hold that championship one day and when I do hold it I'll hold it more proud than anyone else possibly could because of what I'll have to go through to get it. I have to set an example for the CeNation that there's never any giving up, it'd be easy now after I loss to Christian to throw it all away, walk out, and end the good thing that I had going. But that isn't me, that may be some other guys, but that's not me. I'll continue to work for that championship no matter what the costs.



[John Cena] If I didn't keep trying to win this championship then "Hustle Loyalty Respect", "Rise Above Hate", "Never Give Up", none of that would mean anything. It'd all just be what guys like Christian feed you, lies. It'd be my attempt at getting myself over with the crowd but that's not what I'm about. I may have had three matches in 24 hours, one of them may even have been one of the most brutal matches I've ever been in, but that's not an excuse. Christian had four matches and while none of them were an Irish Street Fight... He did have a "Fight Without Honor" match. I have no one to blame for this loss except myself, I could have won that match and I know it, there's no one else who caused this other than me. There's no reason for me to lose the match that meant the most, I've said I had the right feel for things this time around in a few different places... I guess I was wrong. It seemed like this time would be different and this time would be my first title run since 2010, but I was wrong and now it'll be awhile before I get another chance.



[John Cena] In a way though, this was like a learning experience. Every title match that I lose just makes me that much better for the next one that I could possibly win. Maybe by time I lose a couple more I'll be invincible in title matches! Well, the saying goes you win some and you lose some, that couldn't be more true. Because I've already lost some, so that must mean... Yes, now is my time to win some. Well, hopefully that saying is true for my sake, but who knows. Maybe the next time I step into the ring with the prize of winning be a title, I hate to say it, but I might not walk out the winner... But that doesn't stop me. No matter how many times I'm knocked down I'll keep getting back up and I'll be more ready the next time. I don't back down from a challenge and right now it seems like my biggest challenge is winning a championship, they've eluded me so far in my career, but that can't last forever. Practice makes perfect and so far every title match I've been in, that's my practice so that some time eventually I'll have the big match where I finally step up and win.



[John Cena] I guess that today wasn't my day, but that doesn't mean another day won't be my day. I'm still in line for a title shot, how far back I don't know, but Christian better hope I'm pretty far back now because I'm ready to take his championship. He saw tonight even though he won, that I meant business because I had him right where I wanted him... He just kicked out. Next time I'll make sure he doesn't kick out, and then, the Champ... Will be here.

*Breakdown returns from commercial break in the backstage area where we see "The American Dragon" Daniel Bryan standing talking on the phone. He can't be heard but he looks happy, which considering the events that occurred at the PPV, is a surprise. He hangs up his phone and goes to walk off before he hears a familiar voice calling his name*

{Mitch}
DANIEL!!

*Bryan looks up in the air with a annoyed look on his face, and then it changes to a smile when Mitch gets by him*

{Mitch}
Hey Daniel. I've been trying to get a hold of you since Digital Decision. How are you doing?

{Bryan}
How am I doing? Well, I lost my US title match against Shawn Michaels, even though I swore that I'd beat him and take that title. I could sit here and complain and say that I got screwed, but I didn't. I made a deadly mistake, and Shawn capitalized on it. That's what this business is about, and Shawn knows that better than anybody. You know, I held no respect for Shawn after how he won at Unforgiven, but after Digital Decision, he earned my respect back. I still don't like the man himself, but he is a legend. He may be an ass, but he's busted his ass to keep that title, by any means necessary. I can't fault him for that, even if I did get mad when he did it to me. I guess even years after I left his school, he's still teaching me things.

{Mitch}
So do you think you should get another shot at HBK?

{Bryan}
Honestly Mitch, no.

*The fans can be heard booing from down here in the backstage area. Bryan looks up at the ceiling with a surprised look*

{Bryan}
Really? I've fought Shawn four times since I've been here in XWL, and I've only beaten him once. I personally think it's time someone else faces him. Besides, I've got other things going on in my life right now.

{Mitch}
Oh really? What kind of other things?

{Bryan}
Well, I'm sure you already know Mitch. I mean, you were listening to my phone call.

{Mitch}
Ummm..... No I wasn't.

{Bryan}
It's ok Mitch, you don't have to lie to hang with me. But, for all those fans watching, I suppose I should fill you in. Late in the night after I lost to Shawn, I received a call from Mick Foley. He told me that he was disappointed that I had lost, but was excited for my future. He said that he was busy at the time and that he'd give me a call back when he got a chance.

{Mitch}
And........

{Bryan}
And I waited. And waited. Then, he called me about 5 minutes ago. He sounded excited and told me............

{Mitch}
AND......................

{Bryan}
He told me that I'm facing Heath Slater tonight.

{Mitch}
.........WHAT?! That's what so big in your future?! We need to go talk to Fole...........

{Bryan}
HAHAHAHA. You didn't let me finish Mitch. That wasn't all Mick had to say. He also told me some of the best news that I've heard in a while.

{Mitch}
So what's the big news?!

{Bryan}
Mick informed me that I'm been cleared to have the next edition of "The American Dragon Show" next week on Breakdown. And the guest is HUGE. You actually know him pretty well Mitch. In fact, you used to interview him before you interviewed me.

{Mitch}
Oh no...............

{Bryan}
No, it's not Kassius. Somebody with a little more name value. He's the man who wrestled in the main event of the last two PPVs, even though my match was the REAL main event of both of those shows. That's right Mitch, Michael McGillicutty is my guest for next week. I'd prepare your body.

{Mitch}
Seriously Daniel?! You're gonna invite that jerk over here after all he's.......

{Bryan}
Oh, and by the way, I'm in King of the Ring. Prepare yourself for that.

*Bryan walks off, leaving Mitch looking dazed and confused, until he mouths "What?". The fans can be heard chanting "Yes!" after Bryan's announcement that he's be included in XWL's 2012 King of the Ring tournament. Breakdown fades to commerical with the camera watching Bryan walking down the hallway getting ready for his match against Slater*

Normal Match


William Regal vs. Kofi Kingston
Regal has returned to wrestle in a match that will be a sure win against the slumping Kofi Kingston.

XWL's Breakdown super show cuts backstage to a dark room where Randy Orton is shown sitting alone on a chair, the camera zooms in on the Viper who chuckles to himself before slowly beginning to speak...



[[[Randy Orton]]]
Darkness...It slowly seeps into our every day life in some way or another, everybody gets those thoughts in the back of their heads...The ones that they might not be proud of, but are there none the less. What if this happened, what if that happened, what if I done this, what if I done that...But for most people, they stay exactly that. A figment of the imagination. A lie...Something that they are too afraid to carry through to the finish. My name is Randy Orton and I am not afraid to do these things, these dreams, I got the sick thoughts in the back of my head of me standing over a bloody Undertaker who's career had just been shattered by my hand and what did I do? I brought them to the front of my mind and into the real world and I made it happen!



[[[Randy Orton]]]
Funny really isn't it? An illustrious twenty eight year career brought to a screeching halt at Digital Decision...All of that pain, all of that suffering that he brought upon the industry, thrown back in his face in an instant! He got a swift taste of his own medicine and it felt oh so good to be the one delivering it. Next to nobody thought that little old Randy had it in him...He's past his sell by date they cried...He hit his peak years ago...He doesn't stand a chance against The Undertaker...Well I proved them all wrong! In his own yard, on his own terms, I lift up that lid and I rolled him in! But wait, the almighty Deadman wasn't finished yet was he? He emerged from the casket like a lost soul, crawling back into the ring and WHAM! I kicked his damn head right off his shoulders and right back into the casket!

Orton suddenly stands up and strolls past the cameraman out through a set of double doors and into an equally dark hallway...the cameraman follows him and before long Orton turns around to speak once more...



[[[Randy Orton]]]
As I stood on the turnbuckle, hands raised high in victory the place erupted, the realization hit each and every single man woman and child in the building that the Age of Orton was beginning once again...The World Heavyweight Championship was ingrained into my mind as my next target, go onto the King of the Ring and tear through the opposition until I was standing in front of Ted DiBiase...Who knows, by the end of the night it could be Cody Rhodes...But the outcome will be the same, I taught BOTH of those boys everything they know and in turn I know exactly how to take care of them should the situation present itself...Then it happened, my entire game plan was transformed before my eyes, I felt a sharp pain across my back and I turned around just in time to see that it was Dolph Ziggler was the one who chose to make his life a living hell from this moment forward..Seconds later I faded...Into the darkness.



[[[Randy Orton]]]
It's where I've remained ever since...In the dusty recesses of my mind, thinking of all the ways to torture you Dolph, all of the ways to make you regret ever crossing my path but at the same time, no matter how quickly you regret it, no matter how quickly you run for the hills screaming sorry...It will have been too late, your cries for help will be in vain. Do you remember what I was speaking about earlier? I am not one of the people who keep these thoughts in the back of my head and toy around with them forever...When the time is right, I will bring them forward, I will strike from the darkness and I will have you lying crippled in a pool of your own blood before so fast it'll make your head spin.

The camera zooms right in on Ortons face now as he continues to speak...



[[[Randy Orton]]]
Tonight...Tonight I take on Davey Richards, again. The last time we met in the middle of that ring it didn't end too well for Davey, here's a little recap for you just in case that concussion jogged your memory. I knocked you out cold with a vicious punt to the head! Not a single bit of remorse, no mercy, I don't give a damn what I have to do to win, I didn't then and I won't tonight so here's what I suggest, for the good of your own health, for your mother, your father, your family and your friends...Don't show up. You are out of your comfort zone, I am better than you in every single way and you know it, you feel it...You're afraid of it. You can put on a facade all you like and claim that the hunt is on but the fact of the matter is this...The hunt was on long before you had a clue...Tonight, if you show up? The hunt ends for good.



[[[Randy Orton]]]
Dolph Ziggler...Listen up, if you decide to have a little repeat of Digital Decision and get involved during or after my match? I'll be ready for you. The end result won't be the same. Oh and by the way, by the way, I am a very vengeful man...I advise that you have Vickie Guerrero be your eyes and your ears during your match with AJ Styles because I will be watching...I will be waiting...And I will be there, you won't know when, but I'll be there.

*As the supershow returns from commercial break, we head back to the arena where the theme of the most talked about superstar in XWL now begins to play throughout the arena causing fans to erupt in what seems to be nothing but boos because of the incident that occurred at Digital Decision. As the intro to Edge's theme comes to a close and his signature smoke has filled near the entire stage, Edge begins to walk out from the back and out through the smoke, and onto the stage.*



*Edge fixes up his shirt as he stops at the top of the stage with an evil little smirk spread across his face. Edge then waits a little bit, sucking up the boos before spreading his arms out in what seems to be a way of accepting the negative reactions the crowd gives him as the camera moves around him.*





*Edge lowers his arms and stands on the top of the stage for a little bit before walking down the ramp. Cameras show some signs that the fans have brought to the arena here tonight, near all of them asking the same question: "Why Edge, why?" Cameras focus back on Edge who ignore the fans who sit right next to the ramp as he makes his way down it and over to the steel steps.*



*He quickly makes his way up the steps, slowing down a bit as he gets on the apron. Edge takes some steps across the apron, stopping about halfway as he looks out into the crowd. Edge then steps into the ring and walks to the center of the ring, little bit of confidence in his walk. He eventually spreads his arms out once more and yells "Is that all you got?" which causes the fan to take their boos up a notch.*



*We then fade to a commercial featuring Breakdown Superstar CM Punk hyping XWL's newest video coming in October of 2012, XWL '13, as Edge continues his heel antics in the ring while the screen fades to black.*



*We return from the XWL '13 hype video and Edge is still in the ring, toying with the fans but he eventually stops his games and makes his way back over to the center of the ring with a microphone in his hand. he stand their as the crowd continues their "We want Ted!" chant which started sometime over the commercial break. Edge simply stands their listening to the crowd as they pander on with their chants for Ted.*



*Edge then raises his mic and begins to speak.*



[[Edge]]
Last night will truly be remembered as one of the most shocking things to ever happen in XWL, wouldn't it? To take Ted DiBiase, a young superstar who is becoming such a big name in XWL, winning World Championships, and walking around with one of the best looking girls a guy could have and just ruin that for him. He was going to go home happy, World Heavyweight Championship in hand and all until he took one step over the edge. *Edge smiles as the fans boo him.* And what truly made this experience even more better for me was when my music hit all the fans in attendance jumped to their feet because Edge was back and he was here to save everyone's favorite superstar, Ted DiBiase. For the past few months Mick Foley has been the puppeteer and I've been the puppet but guess what. I was too stupid to realize because I was too focused on all of you. I am the Master Manipulator, I should have been the grand puppetmaster. At Digital Decision I did just that, I played all of you. I played everyone in this arena, I played everyone around the world and I enjoyed every second of it.

*Edge takes his glasses off and looks around the arena a bit, listening to all the boos that the fans send his way. He smiles and continues to speak.*

[[Edge]]
And let me just inform you that what I did at Digital Decision was not because of Ted DiBiase, no, he was only a small portion of the bigger picture. The bigger picture being the World Heavyweight Championship. And after being in XWL since near the first day, I deserve the championship more then anyone. I've been through it all, I've been hit with near every weapon imaginable. And I truly feel it is time that the fans, the superstars in the back and all the XWL management finally gives back to me. It is time I feel they give me the World Heavyweight Championship match I deserve with no little twist and turns like a "number one contenders match"and if I win that then I get a shot. No, I deserve a shot. I shouldn't have to go through anyone else to get that shot. That shot is mine! And that statement isn't questionable. *Edge pauses for a second, giving himself a little bit of time to think before speaking again.* And, and what makes this better is that Ted DiBiase thinks this is some personal issue between us that he doesn't quite understand. Yeah, Ted really doesn't understand because like I said, he is just nothing more then a smaller portion of the bigger picture. Ted, why do you want it to be that way? I thought we were friends. Good friends. A bit too good of friends if I do say so myself... You see, friendships here can be good but Ted, he just grow to close in my opinion and with the addition of the World Heavyweight Championship, I knew it was time for things to just hit their breaking point. I didn't know how I got so low to being friends with Ted, how'd I get there. I was once partners with Randy Orton and CM Punk on different occasions and now I like fell down the stairs all the way back to the lowest of the low which is in fact, your World Heavyweight Champion, Ted DiBiase.

*Fans cheer for Ted as Edge continues to speak.*



[[Edge]]
And now, as I stand here the most deserving superstar of a XWL World Heavyweight Championship match, a certain superstar who I've had quite a run in with in the past gets a shot before me, go figure. Cody Rhodes... The man who I beat at Final Stand got voted into the World Heavyweight Championship match and I'd like to take the chance to congratulate him even though Cody may hate my guts. *Edge claps his hands a few times before speaking again.* Just make sure you leave some of Ted for me after you lose to him, because Cody, I may be with you now on the other side of the fence. The side of the fence which consist of the superstars hated by fans, but that doesn't change a thing. Cody, try and take over Breakdown again, I wouldn't even try to help Mick Foley this time because I'll be too busy becoming the XWL World Heavyweight Champion, no longer held down by Mick Foley who once acted as if I was his puppet. As if he was the puppeteer and I was the puppet who he used to save his show just because he wanted to keep his chair in the General Managers office. Isn't that right, Mick? I was used, I was used to save your sorry ass from getting fired wasn't I? If all the stuff you said to me was true, you wouldn't of put me against Ted. You would've just gave me my shot at the title. But noooo, I was used and tossed to the side of the road like Maryse did with Ted. But hey, not my fault Maryse likes to hang around the month's hot topic. If she like's to be around the hot topics, then I'll be seeing you next month sweety after I win the World Heavyweight Championship. Fair warning, you think Ted and Michael are good. Just wait till you get a load of this, but wait, you don't believe me? Just go ask Lita, she has me down in her big book of guys. Your boyfriend Michael is probably next in line to go into it, wouldn't even be surprised if he was already in it. I would even put money down, betting that half the guys in the arena wish they were in that book.

*The fans give a bit of a mixed reactions towards Edge as he continues to speak.*

[[Edge]]
But let me just talk about one more thing, a bit more in depth then I have, before I move on from the past and talk about the present and the future which isn't too far away. Let us talk about the injury I suffered. There is a big long science name for the injury but being the stupid little fans you are, I'll dumb it down a bit. It hurt. A lot. Was hard to move which made me miss near a month or so of my career and hey, I'm not even fully recovered yet but I'm not complaining. In fact, I took this as a new beginning for myself because it was basically a fresh start. A fresh start.... to a newly formed road leading to Edge becoming your World Heavyweight Champion once again because the man who injured me has that belt and I'm not just going to let it slide, Ted, he just got a taste of whats to come at Digital Decision. *Edge chuckles a bit as the fans boo him.* But lets stop dwelling on the past and lets move on to the present where tonight I make my in ring return against the guy who ran and cried to XWL management because I screwed up his cash in, Michael McGillicutty. Poor Mike, upset because his cash in was messed up so he went to his girlfriend, Maryse, and cried in her arms. And I'd tell you to run home and get some wrestling tips from him but sadly, that wouldn't really make much of a difference now would it? You either have it or you don't, and Michael, it's time you face fact that you're just tarnishing the great legacy your father left.

*The fans boo as Edge takes his last shot at the Hennig family, despite McGillicutty's recent actions, the boos directed more so at the words about Mr. Perfect himself then McGillicutty.*

[[Edge]]
And tonight, tonight when I face you you'll be wishing that you had "it", the same "it" your father had because I'm going to spear you again and again till you go down and stay down. Before I was injured I was the man to beat around here and I'm still that same man just with a new approach on things. So Mike, be ready because if you thought Me spearing you at Digital Decision hurt, just wait till tonight. I'm sure I'll love it. And now, moving on to the end of the night where Cody Rhodes faces Ted DiBiase. I didn't point this out earlier but why exactly is Cody getting a title shot before me? I'm the Rated R Superstar, Master Manipulator, The Ultimate Opportunist and the man I beat at Final Stand IV gets a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship before me? Is it just me, or does something sound a bit out of place. Maybe it's because I beat Cody, I had to win a contenders match yet Cody lost, and he's just given a shot. Not sure, maybe it's just Mick Foley realizing once more he doesn't need to please me anymore. He's got what he wants, he's fine. See where I'm getting at here? If not, then get some common sense by the time I come out here again.



[[Edge]]
Now before I go, let's talk about one last thing. Ted DiBiase as your World Heavyweight Champion. The kid beat me in the contenders match fairly, but that doesn't mean I was all that satisfied with what happened considering what I've mentioned time and time again about how Mick Foley not needing me anymore has came back to screw me. Let's just say Ted DiBiase has had his little fun and games, 15 minutes of fame. But like all reigns, they eventually come to a close and a new champion is crowned. That champion is me. But Edge, what about Cody Rhodes? Cody Rhodes can't beat Ted so he is out of the picture which leaves just Ted and myself. I'm going to prove you wrong, I'm going to prove the guy in the front row wearing a Randy Orton shirt wrong, I'm going to prove everyone up in the cheap seats wrong, and more importantly, I'm going to prove Ted... WRONG.

*Edge drops the microphone and he stands in the middle of the ring as his theme begins to play once more. He lets out a evil little smirk before exiting the ring, the screen fades to black as Edge is near halfway up the ramp. From the black, we fade into a video hyping Maryse.*

Jeff Hardy’s theme pours through the speakers and the people here at Night of Champions aren’t giving The Charismatic Enigma a warm welcome. Hardy has called them sheep in the past, he's said that they’re willing to swallow whatever XWL tries to shove down their throats, he said they were ignorant for not wanting to be enlightened, and now Hardy is here to say more yet all he’ll end up accomplishing is annoying the people more. They clearly don’t want to see him, they don’t want to hear him speak his filth as he tries to sound smart. They want to see the good guys, guys like Triple H, guys like Daniel Bryan hell, they’d even take Cena over Hardy, and they let that be known as Hardy is hit with boos the moment he steps onto the stage. But Hardy isn’t affected by the pure noise coming out of the arrogant holes of the masses, he knows getting them to see the light will be a long and grueling and sometimes even painful process to undo the brainwashing they’ve been subjected to under this company’s tyranny. Hardy slides into the ring and has a mic in hand as he paces back and forth waiting for the noise to die down so he can let the people know what this world is really like. But as far as the people are concerned, Hardy doesn’t know a damn thing about anything and it’s his mind that’s been clouded and it’s his thoughts that need to be cleared so he can see things for what they really are and see what a prick he’s become after being one of their favorites. Hardy has changed, and not for the better and now he’s trying to change the people too. Heaven only know what he’ll come up with next.

Jeff Hardy:
Change is a slow process only brought about by the patient, for only the patient can withstand the ignorance of those who deny that which they need. Your silly wrist bands, your stupid T-Shirts only prove that you've been brainwashed into thinking that image is more important in this business than actual talent, and through this false thinking it has become a sad reality. This industry has turned into a mockery for what it cou-



Oh boy, as if things couldn’t get any worse… of all the people to come out and save the audience from Hardy’s baseless rants the man they hate to hear talk just as much as Hardy’s theme hits and seeing two of the men they dislike the most in the ring wasn’t on their check list for the night. But it looks like they’ll have to power through it and hope this is the worst they’ll have to deal with because Ricardo Rodriguez stepping onto the stage meaning this confrontation is going to happen whether they like it or not… and you better believe they don’t like it one bit. Ricardo is looking snazzy in a crisp suit that no doubt cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars and he gets ready to deliver an introduction fit for only a man of Alberto Del Rio’s caliber.

Ricardo Rodriguez:
Damas y caballeros, es para mí un honor presentarles al hombre que con su sonrisa ilumina el día, que con una mirada aterra a sus adversarios y que ustedes nunca podrán superar en riqueza, él es el orgullo de México, él es... ALBERTOOOOOOOOOOO DEL RRRRRRRÍIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOO!!!

Nobody has a clue what the hell Ricardo just said but they hate the way he said it and they hate the smug expression on his face as he said it and just enough to justify their boos as Del Rio makes his way out to the arena in high fashion blaring the horn in his fancy, expensive and sexy car of the week. All eyes are on him as the Mexican Aristocrat hops out of his ride with a smile as wide as ever on his face and the chorus of boos hit their peak as Del Rio climbs onto the stage and pyro falls down the stage like a waterall. Del Rio has a mic in hand and not only doesn’t he look ready to talk, but he seems to be in a fighting mood as well and the man who hasn’t been seen since Unforgiven seems to have something he wants to get off his chest.



Alberto Del Rio
My name is Alberto Del Rio, but you… you already knew that. And Jeff Hardy I’m sorry but that speech you gave was so boring I just had to come out here and put a stop to it. iTú es un hombre que sabe nade! You don’t know about style, you don’t know about class so I have come to give XWL what it’s been missing for so so very long, and I represent everything that a real man should be. And it’s a tragedy that XWL has gone on for so long without me, a man who gives the ladies something good at and a man who’s destiny it is to reclaim my spot at the top of the pack.

And although these people these… these peasants simply do not deserve the honor of seeing a man such as myself in person, sometimes you just have to throw them a bone because this is a good as it gets for them. For them nothing is better than seeing the man they worship, that they idol in front of them. They kiss their screens when they see me on tv, they bow their heads because they are not worthy to look at me, and it’s great that they know their place. But unfortunately for you Jeff Hardy, unfortunately for you you don’t appear to know your place. You see you have come out during my time, you’ve are standing in my ring but nobody cares what you have to say. These people paid to see me, they read the rumors they knew I was making my grand return on this very show and that is the only reason why this arena is sold out tonight! And it is pure highway robbery that you have paid all of this money and yet those monkeys in the back couldn’t be bothered putting me in a title match where I belong. But that moment will soon come because they cannot ignore a man this incredible for too long, and Jeff Hardy I would like it if you do the right thing and step out of my ring.

Jeff Hardy:
You want me to step out of your ring? Why? Because you're bigger than me? Because you think you're better than me? Do you know who I am? My name... My name is Jeff Hardy, but you already knew that, it is my destiny to-



The mocking sound of Del Rio’s laughter cuts off Hardy and he looks disgusted by the fact that Del Rio would have the gall to interrupt him. But Del Rio has done just that and he doesn’t seem to care in the slightest how that may have made Jeff feel. The grin on his face says it all, and the look in his eyes says that he has zero respect for this half of the Hardy Brothers.

Alberto Del Rio
Lo siento, amigo, pero hay es solomente uno homre…. there is only one man around here who is destined to do anything special and that is me. I am destined to rise through the ranks, I am already the greatest thing to walk in this arena, but soon I will be more. And Jeff Hardy… you can shine my shoes if you like because you are not good enough to do anything else. You see those championship titles you won was because there wasn’t any competition around, but now I’m here and I’m going to dominate and if you don’t leave at once you will be victim numero uno.

Jeff Hardy:
Victim numero uno huh? You don't think I've seen your type before? Six foot five, two hundred something pounds, little to no tattoos, you're just another one of this industries toy soldiers only you're a little darker and a lot less intelligent than the rest. I've faced and I've beaten wrestlers like you a thousand times in the past, this would be no different. Just because you have money and power doesn't mean that you're better than me in the ring in any way shape or form, I've been looked down upon by people like you, people like them, I've been looked down upon for most of my life whether it be for the way I dressed to the ring or the choices I made outside of it, I know what it's like to be the outcast and I know what it's like to prove everyone wrong. You're replaceable Alberto, they can find another you, but like my theme says, another me is what there will never be!

Alberto Del Rio
Ha ha! so you really think you can be me, huh? Well then you really are as esputido as you look and between you and me… you didn’t really look to inteligente to begin with. But it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay, Jeff, because maybe you’re a little smarter in the ring, eh? Maybe just maybe you can give me a challenge, make me break a sweat, I know that may be asking a little too much of you but the least you can do is try right?

Jeff Hardy:
Try? I can do more than try. I'm The Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling, no matter how many times you knock me down I will get right back up swinging, and as soon as you look into my eyes, as soon as you see what true immortality looks like you'll know that this fire inside me is driven by more than money. So if you want to have a match, then lets have a match!

Alberto Del Rio
Oh no, I don’t mean one match, anybody can get lucky in one match, I want us to have a series…. a best of 5 so I can embarrass you and make you tap three weeks in a row, if you even make it that far. I need a little warm up before I start chasing titles, I need to get back into the swing of things, you know? And even though I’ve wrestled better men than you, sometimes you have to settle for a little bit less. So what do you say, Jeff Hardy? Do you accept this gentleman’s challenge?

Jeff Hardy:
Do I accept your challenge? There's not a challenge that Jeff Hardy wouldn't accept, so yes Alberto, you're on.

After a brief commercial break Del Rio is still in control of the match thanks to the little assistance he received from his good buddy Ricardo Rodriguez. Del Rio’s knows he has this match wrapped up just look at that grin on his face, you just want to punch him and knock a couple of teeth out. The fans aren’t much fans of Hardy these days either but right now Del Rio is the one who’s winning so it’s Del Rio who receives this bit of heat. After wearing down Jeff with a rest hold, Del Rio brings him to his feet and throws him into the corner looking to hit that signature enzuigiri of his, but Hardy catches him off guard as he leaps to the top and in almost one seamless and smooth movement and flips onto Del Rio with the Whisper in the Wind! There are actually a few cheers for Jeff but after a few choice words from the man himself, the cheers disappear and in its place is a hearty round of boos. Jeff pulls up the groggy Del Rio to his feet and locks his arms around his head for the Twist of Fate! But Ricardo suddenly slides into the ring and Hardy lets go of Del Rio and floors Ricardo with a punch! The distraction proves to be key as Del Rio suddenly grabs Hardy from behind and rolls him up. 1! Del Rio has a handful of Hardy’s pants! 2! He’s cheating, Ref! He’s cheating! 3!

The ugly grin returns on the face of Del Rio as he quickly rolls out of the ring and moves quickly up the ramp. As his theme blasts in the background with the crowd’s boos serving as the background vocals, Del Rio mouths ‘Que fue uno, dos más, mi amigo.’

*Breakdown: Night of Champions returns from a commercial break as the cameras scan the arena, capturing the faces of the fans in attendance and various signs scattered throughout the arena. The fans erupt into cheers as the theme of one man begins to play.*



*“Get ready to fly!” The opening words to “The Phenomenal One” AJ Styles theme causes the fans to cheer for a man that put his body on the line twenty four hours ago in XWL's first Ultimate X match. He was ultimately defeated in a controversial fashion but that didn't stop him from being here tonight. The familiar pyro that is associated with him that falls from the heavens are nowhere to be seen as he walks out from the backstage area clutching his ribs, struggling to make it to the stage. He walks down the ramp without doing his signature taunt on the stage, slapping the hands on nearby fans until he makes it to the ringside area. He grabs the mic that is placed under the bottom turnbuckle and slowly scales the ring steps before entering the ring. He stands in the ring for a second, possibly catching his breath, before speaking into the mic.*



{AJ Styles}
Joey Ryan, you somehow managed to defeat me by the skin of your teeth. I will give you credit where credit is due, the way you won was clever but at the end of the day, you proved to me and everybody around the world that lady luck was on your side. Luck can only get you so far Joey and one day, your luck will run out, I'll make sure of it. That's another battle for another day, tonight my focus is on the self-proclaimed showoff, a man I have a bit of history with, and the man that was there for the start of my battles with Joey Ryan, Dolph Ziggler. For those of you who don't know, Dolph, Joey and myself were part of a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship at this years Final Stand, which Joey walked out the winner.



{AJ Styles}
But enough of the history lesson, tonight I go one on one with Dolph Ziggler and after I defeated him in my weakened state, I will shift my attention back to Joey Ryan and right the wrong that happened last night. Dolph, you may be the showoff but I'm AJ Styles, I am “The Phenomenal One,” and tonight I will take you down a peg after you fall to the Styles Clash...





*The theme of the natural Dolph Ziggler hits as the fans' positive attitude with Styles drastically changes as he makes his way onto the stage. He has a microphone in hand. He strokes his chin almost in confusion at what Styles is saying.*



*He pauses on the ramp for a few seconds, pondering what to say to his opponent tonight.*



[Dolph Ziggler] Hey, AJ.. You didn't happen to see what went down with me and Vickie earlier tonight did you?

*AJ shrugs his shoulders and goes to respond but the hashtag heel obnoxiously cuts him off before he can answer.*



[Dolph Ziggler] Wait wait wait, please, don't put the microphone anywhere near your mouth! I forgot that if you talk, a fan falls asleep every second and we just can't allow that can we? Earlier tonight, Redemption's general manager slapped ME right across the face and told me to beat you. To prove to her that I haven't lost it, to prove to her that I am still the top commodity of Redemption, you understand that? Alright, I'm not gonna lie AJ. You're alright, you're one of the few people in this god forsaken company that is worth watching. Not because you're charismatic, or smart, or well, good. You do some cool flips that are nice to look at, although most of the time you crash and burn and lose matches like at Digital Decision.. They're some nice flips.. You keep doing that, you keep injuring yourself and risking your life while I play it safe and pick the parts in our match. Tonight you and I have a little score to settle, and let's face it. You may as well just forfeit the match, you're taped up more than Sabu after walking down a set of stairs. You even said yourself that you're in a weak state!



[Dolph Ziggler] Just like Randy Orton at Digital Decision, you're just another mark in a weakened state that I'm going to humiliate. And there's nothing you can do about it, look at the facts kid. You faced Joey Ryan in an Ultimate X match, you're bruised, beaten up, I on the other hand beat up Randy Orton for a couple minutes and barely broke a sweat. I'm 100%, you're.. let's say 50%. You don't stand a chance against someone with my talent, and even on your best day you still couldn't beat me. Because I'm so damn sick, of being so damn sick.. Get a ref out here.



*Dolph and AJ begin to talk trash without their microphones, Dolph stays outside waiting for a referee, but instead of a referee.. Both men are greeted by someone else...*



*Suddenly a new theme hits around the arena. For a few moments the crowd are unsure of which superstar this is linked too. Dolph turns around and AJ looks on towards the stage as they await the superstar but no one appears to come out. After a few moments a voice can be heard from the crowd.*



Joey Ryan
Lights…Cameras…Action!
Excuse me, sorry for the interruption but I just couldn’t think of a better time for Joey Ryan to come out in front of these people and talk about the two people who I beat for the intercontinental title just 3 weeks into my contract and therefore kicking Joey Ryan’s career into a new light. AJ, you seem pretty pissed but don’t worry I’ll get to you, just wait your turn. Dolph Dolph Dolph, it’s great to see you finally back! I mean after getting superkicked by me and then getting pinned by me and then taking a shot to the head with your own title I would have thought you might have been pretty pissed but you actually seemed to have handled this very well. You’ve been a smart man to stay out of Joey Ryan’s business because everyone knows just what I am capable off. Dolph, you can go on and on about how you are the premiere superstar and how you are the show off but the facts are Joey Ryan is the greatest wrestler to ever come out of LA.



Joey Ryan
Dolph you continue to brag but you can’t brag and deny facts. Joey Ryan is the man who brings in the ratings every single time I’m on TV. I am the man who brings in the draw. Dolph I look at you and I see a man with potential, you are a superstar who looks like one day he could hit that next level. Joey Ryan is already on that level and AJ, this is where you come in, you’ve seen first hand. Last night when we went in that Ultimate X match luck wasn’t on my side. Joey Ryan doesn’t need luck. I have talent, something a lot of superstars including yourself fail to have. AJ you can keep coming up with excuses and you can cry and hope the crowd will catch you but Joey Ryan is on that next level. Now I know you two have a match and I probably have no right to be here because I’ve already won my match tonight, but it dosen’t matter .XWL needs Joey Ryan and right now, I’m probably trending worldwide.



Joey Ryan
Both of you need to take a reality check and realise that Joey Ryan is the man in this company. You see I’ve been given my shot at getting a world heavyweight championship match. I did something both of you don’t have the balls to do. I went against the GM and I put myself into the King of the ring tournament. I went and did something because it was good for business. I am going to win King of the ring and I am going to go on to go into the elimination chamber and take the title from that god forsaken Ted DiBiase and then, maybe then I will bring a little credibility to the title because we all know that’s been down the drain the past few months. You two could only dream of getting the opportunities Joey Ryan gets. I get what I get because I am a unique man. I am a man with MOVIE STAR good looks, I am a man with ROCKSTAR charisma and I the man who is BRINGING SLEAZY BACK to XWL! Now I’ve got a question for the both of you, AJ this might hit a little close to home but WHO WANTS…A MOUSTACHE RIDE?! Ahhhh.

*Before Dolph or AJ can even lift up the microphone it looks as if another superstar is going to make his presence known as a familiar voice is heard blasting around the arena.*

[???]
Excuse me for a moment, it's time to get weird.

*The crowd pops as Johnny Curtis walks out from behind the curtain. He continues to speak as he walks down the ramp.*

[Johnny Curtis]
I bet that the three of you are wondering what I'm doing out here, but let me propose this question. What are YOU three doing out here? As for me, I'm here to conduct my weird investigation. As you three might know, Mick Foley was attacked backstage. I made a promise to him, a weird promise, that I would find out who did it. Now as far as I'm concerned everybody is a suspect, including you three. I mean, you all have something against Mick, right? Let's start with you, Dolph. I hear you're a Showoff, a Weird Showoff. You like to gloat and brag about all your accomplishments. Back in January the Weird Insane Cody Rhodes gave you an Intercontinental Championship match, and you won. That all came to a crashing halt when you lost that title back at Final Stand IV. After you lost the title, you were never given you rematch for the title. Which leads me to a conclusion that you may have very well attacked him out of anger and bitterness for putting your career to a stop. Another suspicious thing was the weapon of choice for the attack. At first I thought it was a tire iron, but now I hear it might have been a golf club. Considering your history as a caddy.....

*Dolph can be heard shouting "I'd rather be in a caddy than live in my car like you did.."*

[Johnny Curtis]
Whoa, calm down blondey. *Curtis turns his attention to Joey Ryan.* As for you, Joey, I hear you're sleazy. Weird sleazy. What exactly is weird sleazy? Well to be honest, not even I want to know what weird sleazy is. Back to the investigation. Joey you're obsessed with lights and cameras. Yet as of late you've been stuck in a 'rivalry' with AJ Styles. It has pulled you straight out of the Intercontinental Championship hunt and now you were trying to get rid of him once and for all. Perhaps you saw Mick Foley is your way out? Perhaps you thought you need to something drastic to put yourself back in the title hunt and get rid of AJ? Now as for you, AJ. For awhile now you have had a pretty clean cut record, but you use to be pretty sneaky. You use to bend the rules in every way imaginable. Nowadays you've been in the mix with Joey Ryan and putting up a clean fight all over the world, but do people ever really change?

[Dolph Ziggler] Why the hell are you people out here? I've got an ass kick to kick and an opportunity to prove to Vickie Guerrero that I haven't lost a step! Johnny, I'll admit, I can see why you're trying to get me to admit to some crime I didn't commit. I do have an open hate for Mick Foley, not a weird hate, just a casual everyday loathing of a person, alright? If I was going to attack that old sack of crap I'd do it to his face, I'm not some coward who attacks people from behind.. And what else do I have to gain from beating an old man up? Use your head for once in your life, although that seems impossible for you due to how weird you are, weird weird.. Long story short, I didn't attack Mick, I used my anger and bitterness from my match to take time off, to train and get in the best shape of my life and it all leads to tonight when I do what I do better than everyone else and that is show off! Now if you'll excuse me, I would like my chance to do just that-

Joey Ryan
Whoa, calm it "Blondey". Dolph just remember you are not the best because if you were the best Joey Ryan would not be recognised as the greatest superstar in XWL today. I am leading the sleazy era into the next generation and I laid you out for months with just a simple title shot to the skull. If anything, you are the best and sucking up and making the most out of simple injuries just to get time off. You're a smart man though Dolph. You knew that you didn't want to get in the ring with me and you knew I would have beat you again in a rematch if you had had one. Now weird guy, Johnny? I don't understand you. You come out here each and every week without a contract and it's people like you who steal Joey Ryan's airtime. I should be the face of XWL and right now you have about a minute before security escort you to the stands and you can buy a ticket and watch while the real contracted performers0 stand in this ring. I say performers loosely for some people, Dolph. Anyway Johnny what are you now? You seem to have taken a shine to Mick Foley, are you his bitch or something? Every time he comes on TV you are there following and just getting involved. Look, I'm now on the premiere XWL show. I have no contact with Mick Foley. I don't see why I would want to attack an old man for no reason. What would it get me? That isn't how Joey Ryan works. I'm already at the top of the chain, people look at me to make an impact. I don't need to attack an out-of-shape, old man to get noticed. I do it each and every week when I'm BRINGING SLEAZY BACK!

{AJ Styles}
What I don't understand is why you think I would take out Mick Foley, I mean, I have been in a bad mood since I keep getting screwed in matches whenever I face Joey, but that's entirely my fault since naturally, I'm a nice guy. If anybody would have a reason to take out Mick, I'd say I would be you Johnny. All the evidence leads up to you, after weeks of stalking him, asking him for a contract and after weeks of being denied, it finally got to you, you snapped in your own weird way, and took him out so that maybe you would get a contract from whoever got put in charge next. That is not my concern at the moment however, right now I've got a match with Dolph and I've got to show him why I am “The Phenomenal One,” so if you guys don't mind, actually even if you do mind, leave because unlike your match Joey, this is one people want to see.

*Once all three men have pleaded their case, Curtis shrugs his shoulders.*

[Johnny Curtis]
Don't think you're all getting off scot free, ladies.. This isn't over..

*On cue Curtis puts his microphone in his back pocket, he slowly walks to the back while keeping his eyes on the three men. Dolph can be heard shouting "Who the hell was that?" Joey seems fed up and makes his way up the ramp as Dolph Ziggler slides into the ring, we head off to a video package before the match starts.*

---

Normal Match


Dolph Ziggler vs AJ Styles
This will be one helluva match between two phenomenal athletes.

---

*Dolph Ziggler's theme hits as the fans begin to boo, Dolph gets up after pinning AJ. The referee raises his hand but Dolph shoves him away and grabs his arm raising it himself, he climbs the turnbuckle and shouts “How damn good am I?!” He jumps off the turnbuckle and shouts “Follow that!” into the camera. Dolph goes to leave the ring but suddenly he is cut off by the theme song of Joey Ryan.*



*”Unbelieveable” hits as the sensei of Sleaze walks through the curtain, he's wearing jeans with an opened flower pattern shirt. He's wearing a bandana and his usual aviator shades while puffing on a cigarette, AJ gets onto his knee's holding his neck as the theme song of his rival has clearly taken his attention. Joey walks up the ramp with his ever so present smug attitude, he flicks the cigarette down on the ground and puts his shades in his shirt pocket. Joey gets into the ring but before AJ can get up to his feet Dolph dropkicks AJ in the side of the head knocking him back down to the ground. Dolph runs hands through his hair and stands back. Joey begins to stomp the fallen Styles, he waves over Dolph who shrugs his shoulders and helps. Dolph picks up AJ and holds him by his arms, Joey holds AJ by the jaw and smack talks him before slapping him in the face. He goes to punch him in the face but AJ ducks it, Joey accidentally hits Dolph in the face. Dolph falls to his butt holding his jaw, Joey tries to explain it was an accident but he is turned around by Styles who clotheslines him. Joey gets back to his feet but before AJ can capitalize Dolph jumps and grabs onto AJ's legs, as AJ is caught off guard Joey spears him to the ground. Dolph stands back as Joey throws off his shirt in anger, he hypes himself up and gets in position for the superkick.*



*Suddenly Randy Orton's theme song hits! The crazed viper is shown sprinting down to the ring!*



*Dolph's eyes widen and his jaw drops, Orton slides into the ring at a face pace. Before Orton even reaches the ring, Dolph is already outside. Orton sprints to the other side of the ring and bounces off the ropes chest first due to the fast pace, but at this point Dolph has already jumped the barrier and is on his way out of the arena. Orton kicks the bottom rope in frustration, he's seething. He suddenly turns to Joey Ryan, who backs his way out of the ring. AJ Styles simply helps himself back to his feet by the ropes. Orton stands on the turnbuckle and looks in the crowd, up in the high stands is Dolph Ziggler in the crowd staring at Orton. The camera pans to Dolph who can be heard shouting “You'll never get me, Orton! You're not on my level!” Orton looks fed up and gets down, he turns around to be met by AJ Styles standing infront of him. Styles extends his hand to The Viper thanking him for the save, Orton nods and accepts the handshake as the fans cheer. But all of a sudden he pulls in AJ and drills him with an RKO out of nowhere! The unstable Viper stares at a motionless AJ, Joey Ryan slinks into the ring and stands over AJ taunting him. But he looks up and notices Orton, Orton goes to punch Joey but Joey rolls out of the ring as fast as ever. Orton is left standing in the ring as we head off for “The Dancing Queen” Layla!*

Breakdown returns from a brief break and the camera cuts to backstage. The Diva’s champion is spotted stretching in the far corner. The camera man slowly walks up to her. As he does so he’s bumped by someone. He slowly continues towards Layla when Michelle McCool comes into view. She looks at Layla and begins to speak

{Michelle McCool}
Now I know y’all were under a lot of pressure the other day Lay, so, I know what happened out there between the two of us was nothing but an accident. I’m willing to forgive and forget. What’d you say Hun?

Layla ignores Michelle as if she’s not even there and continues stretchng

{Michelle McCool}
Hello? I know you can hear me Lay. I’m trying to tell you that I don’t blame y’all for what happened. You had a lot on your mind and I know you didn’t mean to do such a thing. Are we cool or not Lay?

Layla stops stretching and looks towards her former BFF and scoffs before finally speaking

{Layla}
Y'all?

She then continues in her best country mocking accent.

Do I look like a country lovin' Piggie James feedin' redneck to you?

Michelle lightlybefore speaking again blatantly trying to hide the fact that she’s upset



{Michelle McCool}
Of course not Hun, you and I both know w.. I mean you’re miles above that no-good piggy-James. Speaking of which… I’m not trying to start anything at all gurl, I’m simply just trying to make sure we understand each other Hun, so we can clear any misunderstandings we may have between us.

Layla rolls her eyes. Michelle begins to get upset but calms herself and puts her hand on Lay’s shoulder before speaking again

{Michelle McCool}
Listen, Hun, if this is because I’ve never came out to your matches or I’ve never had your back when you’ve been assaulted I can’t tell you how sorry I am. I may be a stuck up, self-centered person but, when it comes to my friendships that’s one thing I don’t take lightly. So, I guess I’m just trying to see if you can find it in your heart to forgive me? You can do that can’t you Hun? We go back further than anyone that’s been a team to let something like this between us. So what’d you say gurl? Are we bff’s again and we go out there and show these people why they shouldn’t mess with the current Diva’s Champion and her BFF?

Michelle cracks a light smile hesitant of what Layla might do next

{Layla}
...You're...you're apologizing to me?

{Michelle McCool}
I never meant to upset you Lay...

{Layla}
So you're apologizing to me?

{Michelle McCool}
I just want us to back to the way it was.

{Layla}
The way it was? You mean with you getting all the credit and me getting my ass kicked by whoever because my "friend" and "partner" threw me to the wolves every chance she got? Is that what you want? You to go back to being the "star" of Lay-Cool while I get to play sidekick again? You to be praised as if you're god's gift to this division, while I get ridiculed every single night because these people were too stupid to see what was right in front of them? No, I don't think so 'Chelle. I thought we were equals, that you really were my friend, but you know what I've come to realize?

Michelle just stares at her hopeful that the next thing out of her mouth might be better than it looks like it'll be.

{Layla}
You used me! Every single title match you got, every single person that you crossed, I was used as your own stupid and blinded human shield so that you could protect your "image." Well how's your image look now, huh? While I've broken free from the mistake that was Lay-Cool, you've found your place in this division, and it's a spot you should've been in a long time ago. You're not a star, you're not my equal, you're not my "BFF" you're just a manipulative bitch that tried to hold me back for your personal gain! I could've been the one in the spotlight, but instead it always had to be you, the world had to revolve around Michelle McCool or else it was wrong, wasn't it 'Chelle?! Second best wasn't good enough for you, you had to be the front runner, you had to get the title matches, and you and you alone got benefits of being Divas Champion. Did you share ANYTHING with me? No, you were selfish, conceited, and convinced that whole world revolved around you!

She remains speechless almost hurt by Layla's words, not so physically but emotionally.

{Layla}
That it was just the Michelle McCool show and everyone else, including me, were nothing but lucky to be included. Well I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, because I'll never let you fool me like that again. To think of all the wasted years stuck on the sidelines as your own little monkey that would do your every bidding. That would embarrass herself for the sake of protecting the person she thought cared about her. You never cared about me, and the only reason you're standing here now is because you've realized you can't get anywhere on your own. I've achieved what you never could...I did this on my own, I've clawed my way up straight from the bottom, and now I reign supreme as the most deserving Divas Champion this company has ever crowned. See, I don't just talk big, I go out there every night and back it up! What did you ever back up? Did you beat Fattie at Final Stand? No you had me and Vickie do your dirty work so you could call yourself a champion. But that's what makes us so different, I don't need any screw jobs, I don't need to suck up to management, and I don't need a lackey like you dragging me down from my true potential. You see that title? It finally means something, you held it five times? Wow, that means you lost it, five times! Go brag about that along with your other meaningless accomplishments. While I, the first ever and only ever Women's Champion under this company's original name, former Miss Money In The Bank, 2011 Diva of the year and current Divas Champion that have made history more than any other woman here will continue doing what I do best, being better than you, and everyone else this division has to offer, past, present, and future.

A very confident smirk follows her vicious response.

The camera pans to Michelle, who on the verge of tears, shakes her head to calm herself before speaking with slight hesitation

{Michelle McCool}
Look.. Hun.. I don’t even know where to begin…

Michelle pauses for a minute as tears begin to slowly trickle down her cheek. She wipes them away before clearing her throat to continue speaking but Layla interrupts her

{Layla}
Oh I don’t know ‘Chelle how about with an I’m sorry, but that’s too good for you to do isn’t it “Hun”?

Michelle clears her throat and finally begins to speak again

{Michelle McCool}
Okay, Hun, you want to know what I’ve got to say… Well, here it is something I’ve never, ever done before. You’re right! You’re right okay?! I know at times I can be manipulative, controlling, and thinking of nobody but myself. I realize now, more than ever, I should’ve thought of us as a team but.. nothing I can do will change your opinion of me. All I can do now is move forward and hope to pick myself back off the ground from this slump I’ve been in. You talk about how I’m not the same person you used to know, and in some ways Hun, you’re not the only one. Even I don’t know who I am Lay! The one thing I do know.. and as much as it pains me to say this.. is that I’ve lost the best thing that’s EVER happened to me. Now, I know what y’all are thinking…

Michelle looks at the championship on Layla’s shoulder

{Michelle McCool}
You’re probably thinking I meant that title aren’t you Hun? Well, while I do miss that, that’s not what I’m talking about. What I miss means more to me in this world than some silly title. I miss US Layla and ‘Chelle.. ‘Chelle and Layla. At one point in time we dominated this division. Sure, did it often look like I was trying to be the one in the front? Yes, it did Hun but, I never for one second meant to upstage you. I’ve seen everything you’ve done since we’ve been forced apart by these brands and I couldn’t be more proud of you. You’re right, Lay-Cool is no more but, that doesn’t mean Layla El and Michelle McCool has to end too. I don’t’ care how much you want to say you hate me. I know.. deep, deep, down you know that I’m speaking from the heart. Which.. is why.. I wanted to show you this..

Michelle pulls out a piece of paper from her pocket

{Michelle McCool}
This piece of paper right here, has the name of your next challenger for your championship right there, and I’ve been given this by Mick himself.

Michelle sighs as Layla taps her foot before speaking

{Layla}
Well, are you gonna open it or not ‘Chelle, I’ve got places to be and things to do!



Michelle opens the piece of paper and stares at it. She gets a smile on her face before looking up at Lay. The smile slowly fades and she begins to speak

{Michelle McCool}
The next challenger for your title right there.. Is.. me

Layla laughs before Michelle speaks again



{Michelle McCool}
Now.. I know what you’re thinking Hun.. “Ohh gee here we go typical ‘Chelle pleading for her chance at the championship!” that’s just it Layla.. This wasn’t my idea. This was something both Vickie and our GM Mick came up with.. When you really think about it Hun, even though you’re angry with me, you know there’s nobody in this company that can put on a great match like you and I can. I mean come on Lay, we were once at the top of our game, two of the most dominate Diva’s in this company… Look at you now. You’re a former Miss Money In The Bank, you’re the current reigning Diva’s Champion. You’ve had more success within the time you’ve held that title, than I could ever hope to have. So, please, lets go out there and put on one hell of a show for these people. Then, if you’re willing, after we can maybe.. talk this over? Just us.. No camera’s whatsoever

Michelle smiles and cautiously looks at her former BFF



{Layla}
Whatever 'Chelle...



She then turns away from her walking away with her arms crossed.



Which leaves Michelle in a state of uncertainty, was the whatever agreeing to what she asked, did she simply just not care, was she telling her she's not a threat to her after being named her challenger? All these things and more must be running through McCool's head as she's left alone with her thoughts.

Breakdown returns from a short ad break as Matt Morgan is standing in the ring ready to speak

Matt Morgan
Last week at Digital Decision I was ready to finally have Kurt Angle all to myself, He was finally going to get what he deserved. Obviously that didn't happen for some reason because of some "unknown" individual. How much of a coincidence is it that when I'm about to get my hands on Angle, He makes a new friend in Big Show. It's no coincidence he realised he was in trouble and decided he couldn't win, So he found a fool to do his dirty work for him. I know it was pone of you two that attacked me because no one else is stupid enough to piss me off, No one else would dare piss of a seven footer. At Digital Decision I was going to crack Kurt Angle's head open like an egg shell and watch the yolk come pouring out.



Matt Morgan
Lets look at the facts of what's happened over the past few weeks. Number one Angle kicked me in my private area then ran, That showed me two things one Kurt's not the brightest man around and secondly that he's a coward he already had me hurt yet he still ran he was still afraid of me. Number two Kurt ran into the crowd as soon as I got my hands on him, That once again shows me that he's got no courage because when you run away from some one that you've pissed off that's just showing that you're unable to defend yourself. Number three Kurt joins forces with Big Show by interfering in a fight between Show and Crimson, Just when Show was losing you came to his aid, From behind as well. So clearly you wanted to make him in your debt by saving him from Crimson. This brings me to number four I was attacked from behind which as I've just mentioned is your usual style and rendered unable to get in the ring with you. Everything I've just said is 100 % fact you can even check on XWL.com by watching past episodes if you don't believe me. You see Kurt I've just simplified our little game of cat and mouse and worked out who attacked me at the same time.



Morgan goes to continue, But is cut off by a familiar theme

Angle's theme hits as The Olympian quickly walks out to the stage with a mic in hand, his music comes to a halt as he begins to speak.

{{Kurt Angle}}
Matt, Matt, Matt...

The crowd continues to boo Angle as he speaks

{{Kurt Angle}}
I'm going to have to stop you right there. As much as you may hate me, as much as you may not trust me, we're both on the same side of someone else's sick game here... The crowd what's Angle... We're both the victims... The crowd what's Angle once more... We're being played... The crowd what's Angle even louder... Shut Up!

The crowd reacts by doing the complete opposite by starting a loud "You Suck" chant.

{{Kurt Angle}}
Listen Matt, I didn't attack you, Big Show didn't attack you, I don't know who attacked you, but I bet whoever did is the same coward that attacked me a month ago. Trust me, I was looking forward to our match more than anything, I was looking forward to the opportunity to end your silly dream where you get off thinking that you can beat me, but most importantly I was looking forward to never seeing your face again and moving onto winning the XWL 15 Medal and the King of The Ring Tournament!... Oh you didn't hear Alex Shelley spill the beans? Kurt Angle, XWL's only Olympic Gold Medalist, a former King of the Ring Winner, a former multi-time professional wrestling as well as amateur wrestling champion, has been entered into the King of The Ring Tournament. This proves more than anything that you're not on my level Morgan. You can think that I'm scared to face you all you want but Matt, have I yet to back down from wrestling a match without good reason? When you threw me into the ring from behind while I was injured I went on to defeat JBL, when I was booked against a man who has travelled around the world in Kassius Ohno my United States grown wrestling skill proved to be superior, hell even in Big Show's matches I waited for the bell to ring and the bout to be over until coming out to support my friend. Myself and Big Show are together not out of fear, but out of determination to reach the top like we know we deserve to. We watch eachother's back so that no one can attack us from behind like you did last night, or I did a month ago. But you don't have anyone watching your back do you Matt? And I'm sure that unlike me, unlike Big Show, and very much like yourself the coward who attacked us wouldn't hesitate to get involved in one of our matches, or attempt another attack. So if I were you I would spend less time trash talking the best wrestler in the world and more time worrying about what happened last night. Because our little rivalry here is the small picture, my King of the Ring Tournament, your XWL 15 Match coming up, that's the big picture. So since I'm in a great mood today how about we work together to find out who attacked us? Unless you'd rather end up tapping to the Ankle Lock of course.


Matt Morgan
No one in their right mind would intentionally make me angry at them, Having said that you did. Why would some one attack the both of us Kurt ? They wouldn't. It's as simple as that, Last week I was attacked from behind and brutalised to the point where I was unable to compete. Strange how everyone had been avoiding me until the same week that you get yourself a partner isn't it. Now as for you being in the King of the Ring tournament congratulations, I'm not a mean guy and i'll give credit where it's due. You've got a once in a lifetime oppertunity to get entered into the world championship elimination chamber, however I don't think you're going to win it. There's just too much talent involved this year, You're going to be one of the people they book against the guys that stand the best chance of winning just so they can get into the second round. Now when you attack some one it doesn't matter if you wait for the match to end, What matters is that you're attacking some one form behind when that person's done nothing to you in his life. Crimson's on Redemption you're on Breakdown there was no need for you to attack him. Last week I was ready to give you the single greatest beating of your life and now you expect me to join forces with you. Just so you can strike at me whilst my guard is down ? I don't want your help, I don't need your help. I'll find who ever did this on my own.

{{Kurt Angle}}
Alright fine, but if I were you the first person I would ask is Alex Shelley.


Matt Morgan
Why are you always blaming Alex for anything that happens to you ? It's over between you two he defeated you and you lost your hair at Over The Limit. Let it go he almost ended your carrer last time you two faced off. Anyway what possible reason could he have for attacking me ? I've never done anything to him. In fact why would he prevent me from beating you within an inch of your life, When he could just watch you getting what you deserve ? Why are you trying to help me ? I just told you that I don't want or need your help.



{{Kurt Angle}}
Isn't it obvious Matt? Whoever attacked me must have had problems with me in the past, and when you got involved in my buisness the next week they saw it as a golden oppurtunity to keep me busy, to the point of attacking you last night so that I would still have to deal with you tonight like I am. At Digital Decision I was not only going to defeat you, I was going to make sure that we never had to face off again. I was going to beat you so badly that you would shutter every time you heard my name. But did I get my way? No. Because someone, or who I beleive it to be, Alex Shelley couldn't let me move on. Just like he did at Final Stand by trying to end my career. You're being played Matt, and not by me but by Shelley, so you can go backstage and find him or me and you can do this right here right now and prove who would have won last night.


Matt Morgan
Are you sure you want to fight me right now ? You don't exactly look like all those things you're always claiming to be. Right now you just look like a scared old man, But if you really want this get ready to be in pain, to be brutalised. I am going to make you wish you hadn't just given me that option.

Morgan gives the microphone to the timekeeper and begins staring into Kurt's eyes

{{Kurt Angle}}
Alright Matt, I see the fire in your eyes you really want this to go down don't you? Well I'll wrestle you in a match only if you agree that if I win you will help myself and Big Show find and punish whoever attacked us. You will have to do whatever I say until we find the coward responsible! And if you win? Well if you win, which won't happen, I will personally give you my Olympic Gold Medal. So what do you say Morgan?? You ready to get real?

Morgan begins nodding his head and the words "you've got a deal" can be faintly recognised through the camera before Breakdown fades to the next segment

Normal Match


Jack Swagger vs. Matt Hardy
The ever comedic Swagger will find himself across the ring from a man in no mood for jokes? Will Matt use Swagger to send a message to whoever called him fat?

Boos fill the arena as the theme of none other than Michael McGillicutty, Mr. Money in the Bank himself, plays throughout the arena. He emerges from the backstage area but he is not alone, he walks out alongside the current Miss Money in the Bank, Maryse. Michael raises his Money in the Bank Briefcase in the air, as Maryse raises her free hand, posing the first phase of her hand gestures as the crowd responds negatively towards them. Michael motions to Maryse as she smirks, letting her hand down and locking it around his arm. They both begin walking forward. Michael walks down the ramp, with Maryse close by his side, obviously still feeling the effects of the brutal Hell in a Cell match a mere twenty four hours ago against Ted DiBiase. His pride won't allow him to admit it, but he is clearly not at 100% and his match with “The Rated R Superstar” Edge later tonight will clearly be an uphill battle.

They make it to the bottom of the ramp and Michael begins whispering something into Maryse's ear. She just nods her head and walks around the side of the ring, doing her “talk to the hand” taunt to the fans that extend their grimy palms towards her in hopes that she will touch them. She grabs a mic from off the steal stairs before walking up them and sitting on the second rope as Michael climbed the stairs and entered the ring, holding up the bottom rope for Maryse to slip through. Michael smiled at Maryse, watching her in the ring as he then received the microphone from her.



{McGillicutty}
I told you all that I was going to take Maryse away from Ted, now I may not have the World Championship with me like I said I would, but then again, who in their right mind would even want that pile of fools gold. That championship has fallen in value faster than Ted's bank account after Maryse had her way with his credit cards. I mean, seriously, look at the last two men who held the championship, the current World Champion, Ted DiBiase, the worst third generation superstar to ever lace up a pair of boots and Justin Gabriel, a guy who, since returning, has yet to attempt getting revenge on me for taking him out because he knows that he'll get put on the shelf again. So the way I see it, why go for an over-hyped, over-exposed, and over-promoted championship when I could challenge for a championship that has real prestige and has real champions fighting for it, that's right, as of this moment, I am setting my sights on the Intercontinental Championship. So Christian, you better watch your back because you now got a bulls-eye in the shape of the greatest third generation superstar to ever live.



{McGillicutty}
As much as I dislike Cody Rhodes, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my money on him. Hopefully after he defeats Ted tonight, he'll bring prestige back to the World Championship and undo all the financial destruction Ted had caused on this company since he became champion. If he couldn't hang on to his girl, what makes you think he'll hang on to that piece of useless plastic. How does it make you ingrates feel knowing that you cheer a man that chose a materialistic possession over a human being? How does it make you feel knowing that you cheer a optimistic hypocrite and boo a realist? There is no hope in your future if you continue cheering for that puppeteer who manipulates all of you people. Heed my warning, Ted will turn his back on you and then where will you be? Unlike Ted, I don't need the “support” of you ingrates known as the XWL Universe, I don't need you people chanting my name like a bunch of brainwashed robots and I certainly don't need you people to make it to the top. Ted knew his career was going nowhere and just like any coward with a lost cause would do, he began bribing you, “the fans,” with food and parties. If that's the kind of guy you people want to cheer for, then the XWL Universe is stupider than I thought. I didn't need you ingrates cheering me when I started in this company and I sure as hell don't need you now.



{McGillicutty}
Enough about that disgrace, Ted is nothing but a forgotten afterthought left in the past and I only look towards the future. And my future has the Intercontinental Championship around my waist and Maryse at my side but unlike Ted, I won't let a championship get between myself and Maryse. Speaking of which, what kind of sane man would break up with a beautiful woman, such as Maryse, and not give it a second thought? You would have to be stupid to do something like that. Many, if not most, people thought that I was only going after Maryse in an effort to spite Ted and that was it. Those people would be wrong. It was much more complicated than that, I saw what nobody else saw, I saw Maryse suffering on the inside, just waiting for someone who was man enough to sweep her off her feet, someone to be her knight in shining armor.



{McGillicutty}
Now onto the reason I am even came out here in the first place, Edge. You have the audacity to not only foil my cash in then you back stab the same man you saved. I'm glad that Ted was on the receiving end of that assault, but when you factor in what you had done moments before, it nullifies the good deed you have done for these ingrates. Rest assured Edge, you will pay for your sins later tonight and who knows, I might go on to cash in my Money in the Bank briefcase after the World Championship match later tonight. Edge, you are nothing more than a delusional old man if you think you still have what it takes to hang with the new generation, even after going fifty three minutes in Hell in a Cell, even in my current state, I could easily dispose of you like Maryse does to clothes that go out of style. So the way I see it, you have two choices, Choice A is you can come out here for our match later tonight and feel the wrath of the man you screwed out of becoming World Champion, as you helplessly watch what remains of your career be taken from you. Or Choice B, you can stay in the back, risking further embarrassment, as you wallow in a pit of your own self-pity, questioning whether returning was the right decision.

Maryse stepped forward, nodding at McGillicutty who smiled and gave her a mic.

{Maryse}
Edge, you are what we call in French, "un vieil homme." You are nothing more than the shriveled up wrinkly remains of what used to be a superstar. But, then again, that's more than I can say for Ted DiBiase and his disgusting foot fetish. I cannot tell you how many times he traded in my Louis Vuitton booties for flip flops.. And I have never had a guy convince me to go get a pedicure before.

The DiBiase Posse boo'ed as the rest of the normal fans with a sense of humor laughed, as well as Michael McGillicutty.

{Maryse}
Anyway, tonight I taught Natalya a thing or two about how real women do it in the ring. I'm sure next week she'll have some camera man interview her so she can tell all everyone about how it was a hoax, about how I'm nothing compared to her, and pretty much any other pathetic excuse she can think of. But, honestly I'm surprised I was able to kick out of what I did. Can you imagine having to force all that off of you?

McGillicutty laughed again as Maryse smirked at him.

{Maryse}
Natalya can play dress up in her little barbie house all she wants, but the second she steps into this arena, she will always be reminded about how her little fantasies of being as sexy as me are just that, fantasies. But enough about her, let's talk about something you all actually want to here about. I'm sure the question on all of your minds is, "When is she going to cash in on Layla?" Unfortunately, I won't be telling you that.

She smiled cockily as the crowd boo'ed

{Maryse}
When I cash in on Layla, no one will see it coming. But, as obvious as it is, no one will be able to do anything about it. Vous avez été vouée à l'échec le second vous avez encaissé dans cette mallette. Mais devinez quoi? Je suis voué au succès. Je serai à nouveau Championne des Divas, et plus tôt que vous le pensez. Layla Alors bonne chance, profiter de mon titre alors que vous l'avez encore. Parce que croyez-moi, vous ne l'aurez pas pour longtemps. C'est incroyable que vous pensez même pas que vous êtes-

Just then Maryse was interrupted by a theme song that is definitely not astranged to her.





Maryse dropped the microphone and stumbled backwards, clinging to Michael McGillicutty's arm as Michael stared at the stage, knowing what was coming. The crowd erupted with cheers as Kharma made her way out onto the stage.



Now on the stage, the crowd is now out of their seats, awaiting Kharma making her way and giving Maryse what's coming to her. Every time Kharma makes an appearance, destruction is soon to follow, she stands on the stage, locking eyes with Maryse and Michael before continuing her descent down the ramp, ignoring any and every hand extended towards her, only focusing on Maryse.



She makes it to the bottom of the ramp, sizing up her prey. Kharma scales the apron as Michael moves Maryse behind him in an attempt to protect her from Kharma. She slowly enters the ring and stands mere feet away from the Money in the Bank couple but before she can strike, Maryse storms past Michael and delivers a stinging slap to Kharma that could be heard up to the cheap seats. Maryse runs to the ropes after realizing what she has done. Kharma rushes towards her, only for Michael to intercept the possible assault on Maryse. Michael, not taking his eyes off Kharma, holds up the middle rope and motions to Maryse to exit the ring, which she does, leaving Michael and Kharma in the ring. Michael locks eyes with this monster of a diva and laughs directly in her face before walking past her, only to get spun around and set up for an Implant Buster. Michael struggles to get free but in his weakened state, it's no use. Just when it seem that Michael would get what was coming to him, Maryse had already reentered the ring, with her Money in the Bank briefcase, and hits Kharma, staggering her long enough for Michael to escape the hold and escape the ring with his Money in the Bank briefcase. Kharma makes it back to her feet as Maryse and Michael manage to make it to the top of the ramp as Breakdown: Night of Champions fades to a commercial break.
