*The opening pyro goes off for XWL Redemption as the camera pans around the arena showing all the fans and their glorious signs before we cut to Joey and Michael at the announce table.*
((Michael Cole)) Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Redemption! I'm Michael Cole alongside Joey Styles, and Joey, we're fresh off a wild week here on Redemption.
((Joey Styles)) Yes, Michael, it was one insane week indeed here last week Cody Rhodes shocked the world by announcing he was suing both XWL and the World Champion Ted DiBiase after suffering an injury at Night Of Champions. Also, Curt Hawkins claims that he will boycott his matches as a result of Executive Administrator Eve Torres and what Hawkins feels are her "irrational" decisions as of late. How will the absence of these two effect tonight?
((Michael Cole)) It's a damn travesty that two fine young athletes are not competing due to the monkeys in the zoo of XWL management! But...moving onto tonight, we have a stacked card to say the least!
((Joey Styles)) Yes, we do Michael! In our main event, the Intercontinental Champion Christian goes one-on-one with Mr. Money In The Bank, Michael McGillicutty!
((Michael Cole)) Also we have a first round match in the King of the Ring as the first ever XWL 15 Champion Triple H faces former Intercontinental Champion Davey Richards!
((Joey Styles)) Speaking of the 15 Medal, it's also on the line tonight as Christian defends against "The All American American" Jack Swagger! All that and more tonight on Rede...
((Michael Cole)) YES! The Partystarter Curt Hawkins is doing what he does best, he's starting the party tonight!
((Joey Styles)) I thought he was boycotting his matches?
((Michael Cole)) At least he's still making appearances here on Redemption. I hope that Eve Torres apologizes to him tonight, and then gets fired!
((Curt Hawkins)) Cut the music. Cut it now! Last week, I had one simple request, that Eve Torres apologize to me if she wanted me to compete. Well I'm going one step further. See, a certain GM of another show by the name of XWL Breakdown has sent me, yes, Mick Foley sent me a contract to jump ship to Breakdown if Eve Torres does not apologize to me tonight. All I have to do is...
*Hawkins takes a pen out of his pants pocket and lifts it up for everyone to see*
((Curt Hawkins)) Use this pen, and sign on the dotted line and I'll be on to bigger and better things, and off this brand! So Eve, you have until the end of the show tonight to give me an answer, or else this contract being signed, and Redemption losing it's premier superstar, will be on your hands. Hawkins, out.
((Michael Cole)) WHAT!? A contract from BREAKDOWN!? Why the hell would Hawkins want to go to the B-Show!? This is absolutely ridiculous!
*Hawkins drops the mic down and flashes a smirk before exiting the ring and up the ramp*

As Redemption returns form a commercial break, Jeff Hardy’s theme hits the speakers and weasels its way into the ear canals of the fans who would give anything at that very moment to have Jeff stay backstage at not say a single word. But his theme wouldn’t play if he didn’t have intentions of coming out so it looks like the people will have no choice but to sit there and endure the pain that comes with listening to Jeff Hardy ramble on with his incoherent and nonsensical ramblings. Many of the fans eye the stage waiting for Jeff to come out, while those without any patience already begin to boo hoping to create some type of sound barrier to keep Hardy out of their lives for just a little bit longer. But there efforts are in vain as The Charismatic Enigma steps onto the stage and the boos only get louder. But Jeff doesn’t seemed to be concerned about the way the people feel about him, the look in his eyes say that his either completely focused on what he’s out here to say, or his upcoming match with Alberto Del Rio. He hangs onto his cap as he steps through the ring ropes and begins to fiddle with the microphone in his hand before finally raising it to his mouth to speak.
Jeff Hardy: The reason why you boo is due to the painful fact that you would much rather hide in the darkness of lies you’ve grown so accustomed to feeding off of instead of basking in the light that is brought to the world by the truth which only the enlightened and those who no longer have the wool pulled over their eyes know of and have the ability to spread it. For it is the truth that we discover the true meaning of this life we were put on this planet to live and it is up to us to embark on the treacherous journey to fulfill our destinies. But there are the plethora of obstacles and protagonists thrust in our paths that hinder some and deter others from continuing, but I have persevered, I have survived and I am here to spread the words the bigoted fools that occupy this arena and allow themselves to be brainwashed by the big corporations that shovel their lies and propaganda down their through. You can either continue to let them transmit what they want you to think and feel into your minds, or you can let me help you see the world for what it really is. Alberto Del Rio, you are one of the men, you are one of the many you needs to be purified for it is a shame that you have grown accustomed to your ways. You have allowed to filth of wealth to change who you are and you have allowed women to tempt you into losing your inhibition and now you can’t think for yourself. You’re a mindless drone just like the rest of the people here who believe what the company wants you to and that has led to your willingness to adopt your arrogant ways. I accepted this best of five series, not to display my in ring prowess, no, I did it to help you, I want to show you the error of your ways so you can see that you are not the man you think you are.
Just as Hardy wraps up that sentence, Alberto Del Rio himself appears on the titantron and he has his siganure grin on his face while Hardy looks on with no emotion displayed on his own mug.
Alberto Del Rio Ah Jeff Hardy! Mi amigo, my friend! How are you? Because for a man who got a lucky win over the greatest superstar XWL has to offer you appear to be quite well, at least from where I’m standing. But I won’t be standing here for long, because soon I will be on my way to that ring and I will make sure that…
A chair shot echoes throughout the arena, and Del Rio’s eyes roll into the back of his head and he collapses to the ground with a thud. The camera cuts back to the arena where Jeff is standing there which means he isn’t the culprit. The camera begins to pan out until the man in question turns out to be none other than Chavo Guerrero! There’s a big pop for the man who the people never thought they’d see again, and Chavo’s at Del Rio intensely before dropping the chair onto him. Chavo’s expression lightens up and now The Mexican Warrior is smiling.
Chavo Guerrero No, I will make sure that you don’t walk down to that ring, and you better consider this pay back for Unforgiven. Jeff, you don’t need to waste your time with this disgrace to my country, if you want to face off against a real Mexican who knows and loves and has given it all for this sport, then I’m the one that you need to look at, not Del Rio. I’ve brought pride not only to the Guerrero name but to the Guerrero homeland and tonight will be no different. Because you see, we all know what happened between Kid Kash and I, and we all know he’ll be back so I’m going to start getting ready for him, so how about we wrap this series up and we can both go merrily on our ways. I mean you’re still fighting a Mexican, so what’s really the big deal? Some people probably won’t even know the difference.
Jeff Hardy: The situation has…
Chavo Guerrero I think you’re a little confused there, pal, I didn’t come here to kick back and chat with you. So how about you just shut your mouth and stand in that ring, until I can get down there and show you just what I’m all about?
Chavo walks off screen and the camera cuts back to the arena where Jeff is standing there looking mighty confused. At first he looks like he may just leave, but then the sound of Chavo’s theme freezes him in his tracks.
The crowd gets on their feet as the music confirms that Chavo is on his way out right now, but as several moments pass and Chavo is nowhere to be seen the people begin to get a little restless and they begin to boo thinking that Del Rio or even Jeff somehow have something to do with Chavo’s no show. Suddenly something begins to play on the titantron and the camera zooms in on it to give the people at home a better a view, and it’s a disturbing sight. Chavo is shown being hauled away in handcuffs while Vickie is standing there shouting ‘He just got back, don’t do this.’ While Chavo yells at the police officers in spanish while trying to wiggle free of their grasp. One of the officers is standing next to Chavo and what she’s saying is picked up on the camera.
Officer You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights I have just read to you?
Chavo replies in spanish and the officer just shakes her head and she along with her partner throw Chavo into the back of their cruiser. The car speeds off with its sirens blaring and Redemption fades away to a commercial break.

Redemption cuts out to a video which had previously been shown exclusively on Joey Ryan’s Facebook and Twitter accounts. The video shows Joey Ryan stoodby next to two girls outside in a random public location.
Joey Ryan Lights….Camera’s….Action! Last week I did what I said I was going to do. I beat Randy Orton and left him in a pool of Joey Ryan sleaze. Randy showed me no respect. Just like everyone in that company nobody shows me respect. The only other superstar who said they like Joey Ryan was The Miz and he’s on another show. He said it right when he spoke about Joey getting to the finals of the King of the Ring. I’m one step closer, I just took out the favourite. Randy Orton was the one the people but there money on to go on and win the world title. Joey Ryan proved once again that I am the real deal. I am the future of this business and I defeated a future hall of famer. Randy is a 3rd generation star and I, Joey Ryan a man who came up from the indy scene all on my own beat him. Now I know I got an assist from Dolph and over the last couple of weeks Dolph has helped me out, he helped attack AJ and helped me through the King of the Ring. I may have got him all wrong.
Joey Ryan Now I’m not going to go into a lot of details because what’s done is done and I’m going to start talking about the future. But before I go into detail just look at these two beautiful women stood next to me. This lady to my right, is Ash Hollywood. This girl to my left is Tyler. Both of these women were out with me the night after Redemption helping me celebrate a huge win and both of these girls are going to be out with me all night every night until Joey Ryan wins the world champion, and when that happens I’ll have even more girls out. You see before you ask both of these girls are porn stars. Joey Ryan is living the dream because any man out there would love to be in my shoes hanging out with pornstars. I did this because people say my gimmick is fake. People keep talking about Joey Ryan being a phoney and how I never get any. Well I just wanted to prove to all the haters out there that Joey Ryan is the real deal. This is why I do all the time, I am living the high life.
Joey Ryan Now I’ve been getting a lot of stick from certain people. Management have been on my back and now I’m being told I might have to wrestle twice at Supremacy because AJ wants one more shot at trying to beat me. AJ cannot beat Joey Ryan and we’ve seen that. He said he thinks he might be past his prime which is what I’ve been saying for moths. I knew I was the better man and that I’m a level ahead. AJ wants to prove something and he talks about having nothing to lose. If he wanted to show this attitude he should have done it when he had the chance. I am done with AJ Styles and now I’m moving on. I get the chance to fight the winner of tonights qualifier in the Redemption Finals before moving on to fight for a chance to get into the Elimination Chamber. I am on the road to becoming a world champion and I don’t need to keep on fighting AJ Styles.
Joey Ryan Finally tonight I’m going to talk about King of the Ring. A lot of you guys have been asking me just how I feel about HHH vs Davey and who I think will win. Personally I hope Davey wins, me and Davey have a lot of history and he beat me for the Intercontinental title. Now I need to get some justice because he got a fluke. I am going to deprive him of a spot in the chamber. Now HHH, he’s a legend. He hasn’t been defeated in quite some time but Joey Ryan is all about being the first to do things. Hell I was the first to get these two ladies in the same room if you know what I mean. Now I’m not scared. It dosen’t matter who wins because they will be going against a man with movie star good looks! A man with Rockstar charisma! And the man who is BRINGING SLEAZY BACK to XWL. Now ladies I have a question for the two of you, WHO WANTS A MOUSTACHE RIDE?!
Joey puts his arms around both girls and walks off camera as the video feed cuts there and the camera goes to the next segment of the show.

*As Redemption returns from commercial break, we head backstage and too the locker room of Christian. As cameras head inside they see the Intercontinental Champion, Christian, sitting on a chair obviously upset of the outcome of last week's main event match against Dolph Ziggler. You can hear him mumble a few words to himself before looking back down towards the ground. After a few seconds, a person walks up to Christian and their identity is unknown as we could only see from the waste down. Christian notices the person and as he looks up, the cameras zooms out as well and the person is revealed to be the Executive Administrator, Eve! Christian quickly rises to his feet with a upset and anger filled look on his face as he look at Eve.*
[[Christian]] What could you possibly want now, Eve?
Eve Torres What do you think Chrisitan? I just wanted to congratulate you for backing up your words last week and winning the main event against Dolph Ziggler. A man who's only been back for two weeks. Oh wait...How did that match go again? It seemed as though when I give you the chance to win a main event for once and I tried to give you a match against a man who has only just come back to give you the momentum you clearly need to hold on to them titles, you just couldn't get the job done could you? Christian last week you just verbally attacked a higher figure and your cocky arrogance proved to fail you didn't it? Christian you need to start shaping up around here if you want to be one of the top stars. Which after last weeks performance will be hard to do.
[[Christian]] I couldn't get the job done? You wanna talk about not getting the job done? You're the definition of not getting the job done. Bad Blood. Unforgiven. Digital Decision. Does me naming those Pay-Per-View remind you of the matches you had on them which you lost? Eve Torres could never, ever, get the job done. Ever since signing a contract for XWL, You haven't been able to get the job done. According to history you've had 4 chances of getting the job done, if I'm correct and none of those times could you get the job done. So before you run your little mouth about how others can't get the job done, think about your career which has revolved around getting the job done.
*Eve goes to speak but Christian cuts her off.*
[[Christian]] Wait for damn second, I wasn't done speaking. I'm the champion around here, I am THE top star of Redemption. Dolph Ziggler winning was just nothing more then a fluke, 15 minutes of fame. He had his moment but next time we step into the ring it's gone. And tonight, I'm proving that when I destroy Jack Swagger in the ring early in the show in an iron man match for my XWL 15 Championship and then, in the main event, I'll go on to beat Mr. Money In The Bank, Michael McGillicutty. And I'll run my mouth to you all I want, higher authority figure or not, I don't give a damn.
Eve Torres Do not disrespect me. I am the one who has been writing your paychecks for the last few weeks and booking you in matches. I am the one giving you opportunities and last week you proved you can't get it done. You're right, I did lose but that was because I was not myself. I didn't do it for myself I did it for the fans. I wanted power and in the end I did get the job done didn't I? I got something better than the title, the chance to move one step closer to controlling XWL. Christian tonight you have another chance to really prove you are the top superstar on Redemption. Let's hope you can not make it 2 for 2 and you might actually win. You never know he might cash in and you could lose your title tonight...
[[Christian]] Oh my, Michael McGillicutty cashing in on MY Title? How stupid would he be to waste a chance of becoming the World Heavyweight or even now the XWL Champion. Think a little Eve, McGillicuty isn't as stupid as we all think so don't try to insult the man. And you say you were not yourself? So who were you then? Who exactly were you then, Eve. A loser? A know nothing? A bitch? Yes Eve, I'll disrespect you all I want as long as you keep talking to me. I don't care if you are the Executive Administrator or whatever. I don't see you as my boss, I just see you as a significant other. Vickie? She's my boss. Not you. And tonight, I'll beat Mike or I'll lose to him, but I have nothing to prove. I won the title, I've proved myself. Go prove yourself, Eve, then come and talk to me. Got that?
Eve looks angered and before she can speak she hits a vicious slap across the face of Christian. Christian looks more angry and fustrated now and Eve just smiles
Eve Torres Listen, you might think you call the shots around here but you don't. Think of that as just a little reality check. I am the one who calls the shots but you, you are just an employee who now works for me. You are way down the pecking order to call the shots. Honestly I don't see why you try to bully your way to getting me angry. You know you can't touch me, but I, I can slap you again and again and again. But I think next time I will take it one step further. If you want to hold on to both of them titles I suggest you do keep your mouth shut because I will strip you of them right now and get two new champions tonight. I have no problem doing that. You can keep talking about me and how I failed but just look at me now, I didn't really fail did I? You're not going to get to me Christian and unless you want me to leave with that medal and Intercontinental title then I suggest you shut up.
*Christian's anger fades away as he begins to smirk.*
[[Christian]] I'll shut up when you finally beat Layla for once. That sound good? Good. Now if you'd excuse me, I've got matches to get ready for tonight that I plan on winning. Enjoy the rest of the night, Eve.
*Christian lets out a cocky smile before walking past Eve. Eve is left in the room and the camera slowly fades out on Eve who adjusts her glasses and seems to check something off on her check board.*
((Michael Cole)) Shut up and be happy that Curt Hawkins is once again gracing us with another appearance tonight!
*Hawkins stalls from speaking as he soaks in the negative reaction he's recieving, a grin covering his face.*
((Curt Hawkins)) This show...is an absolute tragedy. I honestly feel ashamed to be apart of Redemption. I mean, look at this place! Ever since Eve Torres became the new Executive Administrator, it's become pure chaos! You have Ron Burgundy ripoffs bringing pornstars onto the show...oh, and if that wasn't enough, one of our superstars just got hauled off in handcuffs to the county jail! I mean you might as well throw those two old has-beens some green spraypaint and tell them to say suck it, that'd actually be tame compared to what's happened tonight!
((Curt Hawkins)) If I were running Redemption, everybody would be in check, pornstars wouldn't be here, hot as they may be, and none of our superstars would need to be bailed out by their General Manager and aunt. This place has become just...ridiculous, with a lack of a better word to describe it. See, if Vickie were actually doing her job, and not getting some bimbo who's boobs are bigger than her brains to do it for her, this place would be a much better place. This place needs better people in charge, this place needs fresh new ideas, this place needs...
((Curt Hawkins)) CHANGE!
*The fans begin to boo Hawkins again and chant "You suck!"*
((Curt Hawkins)) And I will not rest until Eve Torres is fired from being the Executive Administrator of Redemption. I will not rest until change occurs. Change is imminent, whether you sheep of the XWL Universe like it or not. Because it's better to live on your feet, then to die on your knees. Partystarter...out.
*Hawkins smirks and hops off the turnbuckle, walking to the back as the crowd boos him up the ramp.*

As Redemption continues we see the Executive Administrator Eve standing by next to her new Assistant Teddy Long.
Eve Torres Teddy did you manage to get all those assignments done and get everyone up to scratch with what is happening tonight? Nice name tag by the way. Now everyone can see and identify exactly who you are, since you were a nobody before I came along anyway.
Teddy signs before answering and gives a reluctant answer
Teddy Long Yes, Miss Torres.
Eve Torres Good. I have a busy night tonight and I need to make sure everything goes smoothly. It seems this week is the week everyone wants to try and take a shot at me. First Cody demands all 3 of us go out to the ring and even Curt Hawkins wants me to explain last week. I also have a few other announcements I need to take care off per orders of Vickie so that means I need you to make yourself useful and get to work making sure everything runs smoothly tonight. We can’t have any errors, understand?
Teddy Long Yes Miss Torres.
Eve Torres Good, now go make yourself look busy, I’ve just seen someone who I need to speak too.
Eve looks ahead and begins to walk down the corridor as the camera turns around and follows. A diva can be seen talking to someone but as Eve gets closer the diva in question is quite recognisable. Eve taps her on the shoulder and Layla turns around with a look of disgust at seeing Eve.
Eve Torres Ah, Layla. Just the person who I wanted to see…
{Layla} Hey, look, it's the Crimson Chin! I was actually just talking about you, you know, how I embarrassed you so badly at Digital Decision that you had to get a desk job.
Eve Torres Layla! So nice to see you too. I see you still haven't lost that bitchy mood of yours. Look I am now your boss, I suggest if you want to keep in a job you keep your mouth shut and listen unless I ask you to speak ok? Good. Now I do actually want to talk to you about something, I mean you've been on a little roll as of late right? You beat AJ, you beat me and you even beat Michelle to defend that little title. You two were quite the team but it looks like you ended all that. Now I'm not going to judge but I always did think Michelle was the star of that team who just never got her chance. That was until last week. I mean how do you feel the match went last week Layla? You got pinned by Michelle. Michelle not only sent a message to me, all of the fans but also to you. Michelle proved she might actually be the one to take that title away didn't she?
{Layla} Every dog has their day, Eve. Even you had your fair share of flukes, but when it gets down to it, when it's for this title, I always outshine my competition. But I don't need to tell you that, because well, you already know, don't you?
A smirk comes across her face as she obviously references her defenses against Eve.
Eve Torres Well I guess you're right. I mean you had your fair share of days when you beat me right? So you think you actually outshine the opposition? You only just managed to beat me 3 times. I had that title won and I know I can beat you. If it wasn't for this injury I'd strip you of that title and hand it over to myself right now. You're actually really lucky I don't take that title away from you right now. When I do decide to declare myself fit to go in the ring once again I don't care about the fans or how greedy they will think I am because I will book myself into a title match and I do hope you are the champion so I can really make you pay for everything you did before. But for once when I wanted to speak to you it isn't about myself. But I do what to talk to you about that title you have.
Eve Torres Me and Vickie were talking and I came up with a genius idea of who the next person could be to fight you for that title. Layla what do you think of this, Layla vs Michelle McCool for the Divas Championship! I know, great right? I mean after she pinned you I felt that that was good enough. But that's not all. You see I did have another idea and you are really going to love this, I know all about your tactics and I am not going to let them happen again. You are going to have to learn to fight for that title. You are not going to get counted out and you are not going to find a way to walk your little ass out of that ring in one piece. If you do any of that or even get disqualified you will be stripped of the title and Michelle will be rewarded with the divas championship. Oh, and Layla, you won't be getting a rematch as long as Michelle is champion either. Let's see if you can actually win a fair match for once and for all.
{Layla} Isn't that rich, little miss Exec is talking about winning a match! Ha! I beat 'Chelle before and if you want me to do it again, then I'll gladly add yet another loss to her ridiculously pathetic record. You think you've got all the power, Eve? Well you don't I do, I'm the Divas Champion, I'm the top diva around here, and don't you forget it. You may have those glasses and that clipboard, but underneath all that, you're still the same loser you were, and always will be.
Eve rolls her eyes at her insults.
{Layla} As for me, I've been the greatest thing in this division for a long time, and no matter who you sign, no matter what challenges may come my way, I'll continue to be the premiere diva of this entire company. I've got the looks you envy, the talent you wish you had, and the title you'll never win.
A smile comes across her face as she places her hand on the plate of her Divas Championship.
Eve Torres Layla I suggest you keep quiet and zip it. I am the greatest diva to ever step in an XWL ring. I am the most charismatic and the most talented diva XWL has ever seen. Layla you were nothing and this divas division was nothing before I came along and I started getting noticed and fighting for that title. I am the smartest diva, you all think you can get by just being mean or sucking up to the fans. I went one step further I tricked everyone into liking me and I tricked Teddy Long into giving me 2 rematches and now look, he's my assistant. Layla you can just keep throwing the insults but at the end of the day I am the one in the driving seat and the one who can make or break you. It would only take a matter of seconds to strip you of that title and wish you all the best in your future endeavours. You wouldn't want that would you? So shut up and get focused to go against your former "best friend".
{Layla} I'm sorry, is that supposed to intimidate me? Oh you're going to wish me well in my future endeavors? Yeah, I'd like to see you try. Honestly your little attempt at throwing your weight around is actually cute, you actually think you have a say, that's so adorable.
Eve Torres Layla, I don't actually have time to be dealing with this. I have got Kurt Hawkins wanting an explanation for giving him a title match which is just absurd. I have Cody on the verge of suing the company, and actually you might like this but remember the only friend you have in this company? Brie Bella? I'm actually about 5 minutes away from going and firing her and her sister who've done nothing for this company. How's that for power Layla? Your only friend is going to be gone from the company and it's all because of me. Now if you spent more time focusing on your in ring work which personally I think is lacking and didn't keep trying to belittle me then maybe you would get somewhere and might still have a chance at being champion. But after what you did to me I will make sure you lose that title and who better to take it than your former best friend? I love having this kind of power, don't you think it really is great? Oh, you wouldn't know would you. You just think you somehow have power without actually getting to do anything other than run your mouth.
{Layla} You know what, Eve? I don't care! You act as if you're so important, when really, you're just Vickie's little bitch that's paid solely to keep you as far away from that ring as humanly possible! You think you've got a head for this business? Yeah, no, it has nothing to do with that, you were becoming a joke, losing to everybody, and Vickie just fed you that crap of being important to keep the truth from you. That truth being, that you're so useless inside and outside of the ring that she had to create a position for you until your contract runs out, in which afterwards, you'll be fired. Don't believe me? You don't have to, 'cause I'll be the one laughing when you're just another victim of those dreaded ten words.
Eve Torres Layla you only just managed to beat me. Maybe if you could have gotten the job done fairly then you might have a point but you didn't. You used the ropes and you hit me with the title. You are a coward of a champion. The fact I got this job was because Vickie didn't want to let this mind go to waste. You see I did Teddy's job for him for weeks and made this buisness better than it ever was. Vickie saw something in me and now I have power. Which is all i ever wanted, not the title, not the joy of beating you, just power. I wanted to be on top of it all and now I am the greatest Diva in XWL right now. You see Layla I call the shots. I am the one who is now taking Redemption to the next level. Layla you can talk cheap all you want but the matter of the fact is as soon as you lose that title and go back to being a nobody your life will be hell. You can say goodbye to any title matches. Maybe i'm being bitter, or maybe I'm jealous It dosen't matter though because at the end of the day I can do what I want.
{Layla} So can I...
A smirk creeps across her face as she stares straight into Eve's eyes, with Eve responding with an intense glare. The two remain frozen in their own little word until Layla's smirk follows into a light laugh before bumping past Eve as she walks away. The camera fades out on Eve looking on watching Layla with a look of disgust as Redemption fades out to a video package for The Showoff, Dolph Ziggler!
*XWL Redemption being broadcasted from Idaho returns from commercial to fade into John Cena being interviewed. A pop is given off for the sight of John Cena, but it quickly dies down as the fans also want to hear what he has to say.*
[Interviewer] So John, last week you lost to Triple H. You gave a pretty good showing out there, but you couldn't keep him down for the three count, what are your thoughts on that?
[John Cena] Well, now I know, Triple H is one heck of a competitor. I thought I had him pinned to the mat time and time again, but the guy just kicked out of everything until finally I was the one who couldn't kick out. I don't know what it is lately, I've lost my last two matches. I know that I won my first four matches on Redemption before that, but losing two matches in a row is just leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Don't get me wrong, both of those matches, I know exactly why I lost. Because the other man had more heart, they had more desire. They endured more pain than I did, and I respect both men for doing so. But I know that I could have won both of those matches, Christian, Triple H, you may have been better than me on the nights that I faced both of you, but if we meet in the ring again, I will push you past the limit that you both pushed me past. I assure you your next match against me will not go the same way the first one did because everyone has a limit, and I'll be the guy to find yours.
[Interviewer] You seem pretty confident. Are you willing to say that those wins were flukes?
[John Cena] They weren't flukes. Christian and Triple H were better than me and I applaud them on that, but as you've heard before, one of my many catchphrases is, "Never Give Up", and I plan to do exactly that the next time I get to face off with either of those men.
[Interviewer] Alright. So if that's your opinion on your last two matches, what are you planning for your upcoming match with Batista?
[John Cena] Well, I've fallen in a slump. Not as long of a slump as someone like Chavo Guerrero who just can't seem to get momentum swinging his way, but it's still a slump. And I have to break out of this, tonight is my night to beat Batista and get back on the winning track. And once I do, I'll stay on that track as long as possible because my goal is still to capture the Intercontinental Championship.
[Interviewer] Speaking of championships, I know when you're away from wrestling you keep up with what's happening in it as a fan. So what does the announcement of the XWL Championship mean to you?
[John Cena] Well, I'd like to keep my focus on the Intercontinental Championship. I'm not particularly worried with the Ted DiBiase and Edge scenario, or the fact that now instead of having one major championship to have your career focused on, there's now two. I don't like what Edge is doing, so I hope Ted DiBiase is able to give him exactly what he deserves. Once I've achieved my goal of winning the Intercontinental Championship, who knows, I might just give the World Heavywweight Championship a run, but for now, the two championship announcement isn't effecting me very much.
[Interviewer] Surely you'd want the most prestigious title this company has. Why're you trying to hide that?
[John Cena] I agree, I would love to hold the World Heavyweight Championship and be at the top of this company, who wouldn't? But I made a promise to my fans in the CeNation and to myself that I wouldn't allow myself to be handed anything, I would work my way up from the bottom following my change of brands first by winning the Intercontinental Championship and then I can go after any other goals I may want to achieve. But until I win the Intercontinental Championship no matter how many tries it takes, I'm not going to go after any other championships.
[Interviewer] Alright. Cena, I know I may be going a little bit off topic here, but there's three words on your shirt. Those three words are, "Rise Above Hate", would you care to explain what that means to you?
[John Cena] Well, I've been in this industry for a long time now. I've had many different, "personalities", in that time, and I've realized that no matter what, there's always people who dislike you. There's no escape from the people who will boo you no matter what, I love all the fans, but sometimes you have to let them not love you back. That's why I came up with this shirt, it tells them that no matter what they say to me, I'm not going to change who I am. I won't become a rapper anymore, I won't become a, "Chain Gang Soldier", this is who John Cena is and he's here to stay.
[Interviewer] That's lovely. It appears you're really content with who you are. So, my final question is apart from your hopes of winning the Intercontinental Championship, what can we expect from John Cena in the upcoming future?
[John Cena] I can't even answer that myself. I'm not going to try and start trouble with anyone, but believe me if someone tries to start a fight with me I'll be glad to show them an Attitude Adjustment. As my old saying goes... If you want some... Come get some!
[Interviewer] Alright, thanks for your time John.
[John Cena] No problem.

As Eve’s theme hits the P.A the crowd show some distaste to the Executive Administrator. She makes her way out onto the stage already with a mic in hand and stands at the top of the stage waiting for her theme to die down.
Eve Torres Tonight has being a busy night. I have already had to deal with two spoilt brats, so if you people don’t mind can you all be quiet? Thank you, was that so hard? Now I understand that a certain Curt Hawkins has come out here twice now and wants to change this company. He thinks that he can do something which I am not doing. Well Curt if that is making ratings drop then I feel myself and Vickie would appreciate you not getting involved in our business. You see since Redemption has being under mine and Vickie’s control and Teddy Long has been subdued to getting my coffee and wearing a giant nametag everything has been a lot better. There have been no problems and I feel that this is the premiere show at the moment. I mean we have the greatest management and the greatest talent.
Eve Torres Now with that being said I feel that it wouldn’t hurt to drop one or two people in this company. That is why since I couldn’t find them backstage I am just going to announce is publically, I would hereby like to wish The Bella twins the best in all of their future endeavours. Unfortunately there services will not be needed anymore here on Redemption. Now Curt, you said that Mick gave you a contract? You actually want to threaten me and try to go on strike just to get the answer why I gave you chance after chance? It wasn’t my fault you couldn’t get the job done. I gave you the chance to be a champion and you just couldn’t cut it. You lost and this is what I call just being a sore loser. Now you are just looking for excuses because you want to continue thinking to yourself you are worthy of being a champion.
Eve Torres Curt this little charade is doing nothing to help you and quite frankly at the moment I wouldn’t mind if you signed that contract and went over to Breakdown. Maybe we would be able to get a superstar in return, someone who could actually accomplish something and be able to make the most of an opportunity. Curt you like to talk about how you want me fired? And how you want to make change? How about you actually make a change by actually winning a match when you get the chance. You see I don’t care about what happened and that is why you can go on this strike all you want. I don’t really care and I have a lot more bigger issues to deal with. Maybe I might give Teddy some authority to deal with this situation but for now Curt, you’re just not worth my time. If you don’t want to be out of a job I suggest you stop because both me and Vickie are not amused by your antics and we find them quite immature.
Eve Torres After all of the chances we gave you to throw it back at us like this is just disrespectful. We demand a full apology, and for you to stop this pathetic tyrant. You are doing nothing to benefit yourself. You will not get another shot at being the number one contender until this stops because this “change” you were talking about is not going to happen. Unless that means you are going to go to Breakdown where you will not be my problem…
Eve’s theme hit’s as she walks into the back from distaste by the fans.

[Interviewer]: Austin Aries. Last week you announced that you will be holding the Austin Aries invitational match at Supremacy, could you tell us what or who you’re looking for to be apart of your challenge come Supremacy?
[Aries]: Let me tell you something, what and who I am looking is the very same thing because what I am looking for is the very best that XWL has to offer. Nobody in that audience tonight or watching on their TV sets at home want to see any random nobody turn up at Supremacy. What they want to see is four of the best athletes that this company has to offer, lock it up in the middle of the ring and give them the best damn Wrestling that they could ever wish to see. That; is exactly what I am looking for and that is exactly what I promise to deliver at Supremacy, because when Austin Aries is involved in the mix you’re guaranteed to see something phenomenal. Why is that you ask? Because I am what I say I am. I am the most complete athlete, I am the best that XWL has to offer and I am quite frankly the Greatest Man That Ever Lived.
[Interviewer]: Last week you also said that you would be watching both shows very closely. Well we’re about mid-way through the night and I just want to get your opinions on what you’ve seen from both shows.
[Aries]: Well where do I begin? Do I begin with Curt Hawkins? The man who started Redemption by crying and complaining? The trending theme with these “Superstars” is that they want to run their mouth. Maybe if Hawkins concentrated his efforts on creating this change of his opposed to his bitching and crying about it I would might actually consider offering him a spot, maybe the World might actually take him as a serious threat and not think of him as a poor mans CM Punk. Who do you want me to mention now? Miz? Cesaro? Sandow? In fact you can scroll through everyone who has appeared in the shows so far and none of them, not one has given me a single reason to request their appearance at Supremacy. The only arguable case so far is Eve Torres and while I have had many dreams about rolling around with her in a ring, she just wouldn’t cut it. She just does not meet the standards that I or all of the people wanting a five star match is looking for… Although I am open to help those better themselves. So Eve if you ever want a one on one session with A Double Austin Aries I would be more than happy, I could teach all kinds of moves like Headscissors, powerbombs and hurricanranas. I feel we would both learn from the experience greatly, so get in touch ok?
[Interviewer]: What makes you think you’re the person to put out a challenge like this and judge the roster around you? I mean no offense, but you haven’t exactly done a lot since your return to XWL.
[Aries]: Who am I? I’m the guy who has travelled the Globe to perfect his craft, to become the very best at what he does and to be able to do things that no other man can possibly do. I’m the guy that has battled the very best that this World has to offer, KENTA, McGuinness, , Hero, Danielson, Samoa Joe, CM Punk, the list goes on and on and on, you name it and I have put on the greatest matches imaginable with them. But more importantly for you, I’m the guy that will slap the taste out of your mouth if you ever question me again. You want to know why I’m the guy that put out this challenge? Apart from the fact that I am the perfect fit to put on this challenge there is nothing “Making” me do it. But I want you to keep one thing in mind and that is that not a thing can stop me. Nothing can stop me from putting on this challenge, nothing can match my abilities in the ring and not a damn thing can prove me wrong when I tell you night in and night out that I am without a shadow of a doubt the Greatest Man That Ever Lived. I’m the guy putting out this challenge because quite frankly nobody else can. The World knows that every time I step through those ropes, I deliver exactly what I promise and what I have promised is the greatest match that you could ever wish to see. No matter who I face, where or when I face them, if Austin Aries is involved in any kind of match you are guaran’ damn ’teed to leave with your moneys worth each time.
[Interviewer]: I’m very sorry Austin; I will not question your decisions again. But we’ve just received word that there is a rumour circling the internet and locker room, that in fact some of the spots for the Austin Aries Invitational have been filled. Could you shed some light on this? Is the rumour true? Who are the Superstars involved?
[Aries]: What? You insult me by questioning me and now you’re trying to get the inside scoop? I don’t think so. The internet believe they know everything about the Wrestling industry, every Wrestling smark out there believe they can run a better company and do a better job than the majority of performers you see. Not just in this company, but ever promotion that there is. As far as their rumour goes, I cannot… Allow me to rephrase that. Will not, shed any light on it. You and your trusted source of marks will find out when the rest of the World finds out and you will all find out at Supremacy, not a second before. Now while you are top quality company, I have to run because quite frankly I have much better things to do. So mark the date in your calendar, August 5th and prepare to witness the greatest match imaginable, from the Greatest man That Ever Lived: Austin Aries.

The Theme of the "The Game" Triple H blasts around the arena to a huge pop from the audience Triple H walks out, sledge hammer in hand. He takes a few moments to look around the arena and acknowledged the support shown to him Triple H holds his sledge hammer up in the air, and stares up at it with the sadistic smirk that he made famous, as he walks down the ramp. He makes his way onto the ring apron, Taking one last mouth full of water before throwing the water bottle into the audience then doing his signature water spray and taunt. Triple H removes his jacket, and asks for a microphone. Triple H waits for the fans to quiet down before beginning to speak
[Triple H] Just over a month ago, I walked down that ramp with this sledge hammer in my hand with one thing on my mind, revenge. I wanted revenge on the man who got me put in jail, the man who got me fired and tried to end my career and take the coward's way out. And now, I stand here with that goal fulfilled. Brock Lesnar is sat in a hospital somewhere, after I did what I said I would and destroyed him, I left him laying in a puddle of his blood.. doing what no man has ever done before me.
[Triple H] I keep hearing Brock will be back, and I keep waiting and waiting for him, I gave him the beating of his life last time, and I'll damn sure do it again. But right now, I don't have to deal with Brock Lesnar. I have to deal with becoming King of The Ring, and earning my spot in the Elimination Chamber. I've won King of the Ring before, and I know I can do it again. Later tonight when I step into this ring, I go against Davey Richards. And don't get me wrong, Davey is a talented guy .... but he's going face to face with the Cerebral Assassin, I want this more than I've wanted anything in my whole career. I am just 3 matches away from getting a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship. 3 victories away from making to where I want to be, right at the top of this company.
[Triple H] And the advantage I hold over every other superstar in King of the Ring.. is this isn't new to me. I've been here before, I know exactly what I have to do to win it all. Brock Lesnar couldn't stop me, Davey Richards won't stop me... Nobody will stop me. Because I am the Game and I am....
Triple H is then cut of by the sound of laughing. The laughter continues as The Game looks around with confusion on his face. Suddenly the image of Paul Heyman appears on the big titantron screen in what appears to be a live satellite feed.
Triple H has a WTF expression on his face as Heyman continues to chuckle away. After what seems like an eternity he stops and begins to address The Game.
[Paul Heyman] Oh please Hunter. Please... don't mind me. Continue. Continue please. I just find it hysterical that you haven't changed at all. How long has it been? 10... maybe 15 years? And here you are doing the same routine you always have since you ditched your phony posh accent. Spitting the water, with your trusty sledgehammer in your hand... pretending to be this imposing dominant force and acting like you're one of the greatest of all time. You haven't changed with the times at all. I'm surprised these people still buy into your bullshit after all these years...
[Triple H] So once again, Brock Lesnar sends his little bitch to confront me. So what are you gonna tell me this week, Paul? Because if I remember correctly, the last time Brock sent you marching out here to confront me, you told me Brock would be back, so where is he? I'm standing here waiting, but there's no sign of him is there? Is it because I beat him so badly, he's still laid out in a hospital bed somewhere? And as far as your comments go Paul, well unlike Brock and yourself, I don't play a character when I walk out here, I don't put on a act to get the attention of these fans... I'm just me, The person stood in this ring is all me. I don't have no phony act, and I sure as hell don't need one. Because I come out here and I kick ass, and if you don't believe me, why don't you take a walk to this ring?
[Paul Heyman] Aren't we the smart one? If you haven't realised yet... and I'm sure you can see the small "via Satellite" graphic above my left shoulder... I'm not in Boise, Idaho tonight. It breaks my heart that I can't be there right now Hunter... it truly does. But not to worry because with the advances in technology, I can still speak to you live and in high definition. Fascinating isn't it?
[Paul Heyman] But I'm not interrupting your little rant to point out how stupid or boring or mundane that you are Triple H. Oh no. I'm here tonight to deliver a message. A message from my good friend... BROCK LESNAR. And what Brock Lesnar has to say is that-
Triple H interrupts.
[Triple H] Cut the crap Paul, I am tired of this bullcrap. How about you tell Brock something for me? You go back to Brock Lesnar, you tell him to drag his ass here, face me like a man and tell me face to face. No more sending you to do his dirty work, he can tell me to my face. Brock Lesnar claims to be an ass kicker, but to me he is nothing more than a coward. He knows that last time we went face to face, I beat him with an inch of his life and you know what? I think he's afraid, he's afraid of looking me in the eyes. Because he knows that I will just do it again.
[Paul Heyman] Ah! But that's where you're wrong. Brock's not afraid of looking you in the eyes... oh no. In fact, Brock is as angry as he's ever been after what you did to him. After all you put him and his family through... threatening his poor defenceless beautiful wife and adoreable children... attacking him with a sledgehammer while he himself was unarmed... you've enraged the animal within Brock Lesnar. And nothing is as dangerous as a wounded animal. All that you've been put through by Brock's hand to date Triple H, will be nothing compared to what you will be the victim of when Brock returns. I can assure you of that.
[Paul Heyman] But anyway. The message Brock has for you Triple H, is that he's nearing full recovery. The doctors are almost ready to give him the green light to return to the ring. So if I were you Hunter, I would keep checking over my shoulder. I would make sure that all my doors and all my windows were locked at night. And I would keep that sledgehammer with me at all times... because Hunter, who knows when Brock Lesnar could return... who knows when he'll try to exact his revenge?
Heyman breaks into a huge grin.
[Paul Heyman] Tick tock Hunter... tick tock...
Heyman begins laughing again which is slighly disturbing following his ominous words. The satellite feed suddenly cuts out leaving Triple H looking confused in the ring as Redemption fades to a video package for Breakdown's Chris Jericho

*As Redemption returns from a commercial break the cameras are showing new XWL diva Buggy Nova standing backstage*
Buggy Nova: So this is XWL, huh? Everyday fans would come up to me and ask me when I was going to make my way here, this is the place to be isn't it? XWL Redemption, the home of the so called greatest divas in the world and now that includes me, Buggy Nova.
*Buggy then turns and faces the camera, staring into the lens*
Buggy Nova: Now should I be honored? I don't get it, what am I supposed to be humble to be here or something? It doesn't make any sense to me these girls aren't any better then who I've been up against before, they're nothing special so what if they have their own make up artists and someone to pick out what they wear and how your hair looks? That doesn't make your better, it makes you a Barbie doll. I dress myself and I do my own hair and make up and it doesn't make me any worse than them, it makes me better, I can't be controlled by the machine, I'm an actual person, you can't fake personality, everything you see here is real. I'm a real person.
*Buggy then turns away from the camera and crosses her arms*
Buggy Nova: Don't call me an anti-diva, I'm just not a freaking diva okay, this isn't a crusade against the plastic people, do I look like a diva to you? I didn't think so, I'm not going to be walking out there in a thousand dollar dress and five thousand dollar shoes, I don't have professionally done hair and I don't sit in a chair for an hour for someone to make me look pretty. Let me tell you something I'm not this holier-than-thou girl that nobody can approach. I'm not this Beverly Hills spoilt bimbo whose always got what she wants. They're nothing but little superficial scabs who think they're way more important then they really are. I'm just me, I'm Buggy. I'm the Queen of Candyland where everything's green and purple and magic candy rainbows and when I fart unicorns come out.
*She then walks up close to the camera lens*
Buggy Nova: I stand out, I'm not some peroxide blonde stick who talks out of their nose or some out of touch stuffy executives idea of beauty, I'm not some perfect ten model and I don't want to be. Like that really matters in this world right? Well it shouldn't. You expect me to think a hundred and ten pound fashion model is tough? Because I don't and neither does anybody else. I've always believed what goes around, come's around and by the looks at some of the girls here they've definitely gone around. And I guess that they're just waiting for karma to turn around and give them what they deserve for sleeping around and taking an easy ride. And it just happens it's time I got my karma for busting my back around the independent scene trying to make a name for myself. When you step into the ring with me your tears will wash away your makeup, and your nose's will come out crooked thanks to me and my Buggy Bulldog.
*Buggy then takes a step back and looks up to the ceiling*
Buggy Nova: A lot of people when they come here talk about how this place needs to change, how they're better then everybody else. I'm not going to do that, I'm not going to give the fans the same old shtick that they get from everyone else, now don't get me wrong I could do just that and it would be pretty easy to do that, but I'm not. I'm not here to change the Diva's division, that's cheap and nobody wants to hear it. And everybody seems obsessed with bringing in change with them but how is that any different to the last person? And the weird thing is the more people try to change things, the more everything stays the exact same. So I'm not here to change things, I'm just here to show the world what I've got, that I'm ready for the big time and I deserve a shot.
*She walks back up close to the camera, mere centimetres away from it*
Buggy Nova: And next week on Redemption we get to see just how ready I really am. And trust me I'm ready. I'm ready to show everyone just what Buggy Nova is made of. So next week expect me.. Anytime, anyplace, anywhere...
*Buggy pauses for a few seconds then whispers*
Buggy Nova: Bring it on.
*As she finishes talking the camera's fade out to a black screen ending the segment*

*Redemption returns from a video package for the sleazy one himself, Joey Ryan, as the main camera begins showing various shots of the cheering crowd, who have a variety of signs and are wearing shirts of their favorite superstar or diva, awaiting the arrival of the next person who walks through the curtain. The main camera pans to the announcers table but before either announcer could speak, the theme of Micheal McGillicutty is heard throughout the arena.*
*The crowd turns hostile almost instantly as they boo the third generation superstar as loudly as their voices will allow. Michael bursts out of the backstage area with his Money in the Bank briefcase in tow, full of energy, spitting out water from his mouth as he extends his arms out, seemingly fully healed after his war of wars with Ted DiBiase at Digital Decision in the career-ending Hell in a Cell match. He stands on the stage for a second, slowly scanning the arena while stroking his beard, before beginning his descent down the ramp. As he continues walking down the ramp, he hears a fan shout out to him, “You suck, Michael!” in which Michael quickly responds with, “Not as much as Idaho!” leading to him getting booed even more. He reaches the bottom of the ramp and walks towards the ring steps, slowly scaling them to annoy the live audience in attendance. He enters the ring and walks to the opposite side, receiving a microphone from the time keeper before standing in the middle of the ring, ready to speak.*
{McGillicutty} Daniel Bryan, a man that doesn't know when to quit, a man that doesn't know when to call it a day and a man that has sealed his fate. Last week on Breakdown, I attacked you not once but twice and unlike your involvement in the Main Event, I had reason to attack you. I attacked you twice for the two times you betrayed me, one for turning your back on me because I didn't return your calls and one for taking my personal cameraman, a cameraman I hired personally by the way, from me. Some people may call you costing me my match against The Rock payback, but I call it pitiful, I call it stupidity at its finest. You know, I heard a rumor earlier today that you wanted a match against me at Supremacy and if that rumor turns out to be true, you will be in for a rude awakening. My loss to you at Bad Blood was a fluke, you had to rake my eyes before you could even come close to locking in your pathetic Yes Lock, and then after attempting to crawl at the bottom rope, the referee mistakenly called for the bell because he thought I was tapping out. All I was doing was hitting the mat in an attempt to reach the ropes but the referee thought otherwise.
{McGillicutty} Now I move on to something a bit higher on my priority list, Maryse's stalker, Kharma. I don't know who you think you are, but no one, and I mean no one, puts their hands on Mr. Money in the Bank, especially some wannabe anti-diva. Kharma, you've been stalking Maryse for quite some time and have yet to do anything until two weeks ago when you tried to Implant Buster me through the canvas. Your obsession with Maryse has gone on long enough, if you want to get to her, you're going to have to go through me because I refuse to let you have your way with her because she is mine and mine alone.
{McGillicutty} Now I turn my attention to the man who has the championship I want and the man I face in the Main Event tonight, Christian. It seems XWL management was listening to me when I said that I wanted a shot at the Intercontinental Championship but I think they need to clean their ears a bit better since they made the match tonight non-title. Up until a couple weeks ago, Christian and myself had no prior history with one another but that all changed when I went on his little web show known as “The Peep Show” for some reason. If the rumors of Bryan wanting a match against me and knowing what fools the XWL management are, I may have to deal with a vegan problem and a thorn at my side before I can turn my full attention on my quest for the Intercontinental Championship. Christian, consider this your warning, I am coming for your championship, and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it.
*To Michael's suprise, the theme of the Intercontinental Champion, Christian, begins to play throughout the arena. The fans don't react to kindly as Christian walks through the curtain and onto the stage with his Intercontinental Championship rested on his shoulder. He stops at the top of the stage, looking down the ramp at Michael McGillicutty. After a little bit of time, Christian looks down at his title and back up at McGillicutty before letting out a little chuckle. Christian then starts to walk down the ramp, ignoring the fans as they chant "Christian sucks!" Christian reaches the end of the ramp and walks over to the steps. He makes his way up them and steps into the ring. Christian is handed a microphone from ringside and he walks till he is across the ring from McGillicutty. Christian then raises the microphone and begins to speak.*
[[Christian]] So Mike, what was that you were saying about the Intercontinental Championship? Something about how you are on a quest to become the next Intercontinental Champion. Tell me, what makes you think you could beat me for my championship? What makes you think you could beat me at all? What makes you think you can beat anyone in this day and age? You lost to Ted DiBiase, you lost to Edge, and didn't you lose to The Rock too? So please, what makes you think this week is any different? Mike, it seems ever since you've won that Money in the Bank, one word has described you. You've done good but in the end... disappointment. You looked to be the next big breakout star, winning the World Heavyweight Championship, having the girl, but in the end you just leave everyone a bit disappointed. I was rooting for you in the cell, Maryse was rooting for you, others were too. But you failed to get the job done. You're nothing more then another Eve Torres. Like I said earlier, she couldn't get the job done winning the XWL Divas Championship with the 3 shots she had. You couldn't get the job done winning the XWL World Heavyweight Championship while at the same time, beating Ted within the how many matches you two have faced each other in? Like five, six. That Michael, that is just sad. Be more like me, get the job done.
*As Christian finishes his sentence he lowers the microphone before pointing at his Intercontinental Championship as he lets out a somewhat cocky smirk.*
{McGillicutty} Is that it? That's your insult? Come on now, Christian, you can do much better than that. You could have easily compared me to Daniel Bryan or if you really wanted to insult me, Ted DiBiase and instead you chose Eve. But yes, you heard me right, I am on a quest, no, a crusade for that Intercontinental Championship you have on your shoulder and as you have witnessed in the past, I will stop at nothing to get what I want. Judging by your tone when you mentioned me going after your precious championship, you sounded confident that I couldn't defeat you. You've been in this business long enough to mask your fear. These people, along with myself, heard your confidence but what they couldn't see what I see right now, the fear in your eyes and the uncertainty of walking out with the win in our match tonight. Now, I can tell by your expression that you think I'm lying, but it isn't me that's lying to you, it's you lying to yourself.
[[Christian]] A lie you say? Did you just that that basically everything I've said is a lie? You want a lie, I got a lie for you. Your whole career is a lie Michael, or should I say "Joe" because that is your name isn't it? And is your last name really "McGillicutty" or do you just have the worse last name in the history of forever. So yes, if you want to talk about lies think of what one could say about yourself. But back to business, am I really lying to myself with every word I speak? Did I lie when I said I'd become the Intercontinental Champion at Unforgiven? Did I lie when I said I'd become the XWL 15 Champion at Digital Decision? Are these just figments of my imagination, or are you just that damn stupid, Mike? You, you are the one lying to yourself thinking you'll beat me. I'm Christian, Captain Charisma, your Intercontinental Champion and Mike, you don't even have the slightest chance of beating me... ever...
{McGillicutty} There you go, lying to yourself yet again. Do you really believe that you have what it takes to defeat me? Sure, I'll give you credit where credit is due, you did become the Intercontinental Championship but you had to defeat Davey Richards, a guy that's a nobody in this business. Then to win that little medal of yours, you defeated another nobody than goes by the name JBL. So as you can tell, anybody that was in your position could have easily done the same thing. As far as defeating you goes, you'll just be another footnote in the history of the greatest third generation superstar to ever live.
[[Christian]] Did you happen to forget that I defeated John Cena too? In fact, that match was at the Night of Champions, a night that was made for people like me. And Mike, you talk about how anybody could've done that. But that's the thing, I'm the only one who did it. It doesn't matter if others could do it, it matters WHO did it. It sure wasn't you, you do nothing but lose. You lost to Ted, to Edge, to Rock and you'll lose to me now. Why? Because I'm better then you. And if I was in the position you are... I would've got the job done and exchanged this Intercontinental Championship in for a nice looking World... Heavyweight... Championship...
*As Christian finishes his sentence he lowers his microphone and awaits a response from Michael McGillicutty. Mike goes to speak but no words come out of is mouth as the mic is placed in front of his mouth. Christian says "See you in the main event" as he begins to walk past Mike but right before he exits the ring, he is hit over the back of the head by McGillicutty's Briefcase. The fans are a mix of boos and cheers as some despise Christian yet some despise Mike more. Christian holds his head as he begins to rise to his feet but as he gets to his knees, Mike swings his briefcase and hits him once more. Michael then signals for a referee to come down to the ring and per a request, a referee comes running out from the back and down to the ring. The ref slides into the ring and Mike begins to hand him the case but as the referee grabs it, McGillicutty won't let go. He rips the case out of the hands of the referee and says "Maybe next time" and begins to exit the ring as we fade to commercial break.*
