The following is the current roster as of the confirmation thread that went up last Sunday. These characters were taken prior to the recent hiatus and the members have confirmed they will be remaining with these characters.
Alexa Bliss (David) Asuka (Lazy) Brian Pillman Jr. (BOFA) Daniel Bryan (Legal) Liv Morgan (Sam) PAC (Oreo) Randy Orton (Austin) Robert Roode (David) Sarah Logan (Sloth) Sasha Banks (Austin) WALTER (Tango)
And these characters have been picked up during the draft:
Aleister Black (Sloth) Charlotte Flair (Austin) Chris Jericho (GoHard) Dexter Lumis (KingBrew) Eddie Kingsto (P1) The Fiend (Lazy) Jake Hager (GoHard) Jaxson Ryker (KingBrew) Joey Janella (Oreo) Kane (KingBrew) Kenny Omega (Lazy) Kevin Owens (Sloth) Lucha Bros (P1) Mick Foley (Pringle) MJF (P1) Nia Jax (KingBrew) Ortiz (GoHard) The Revival (Austin) Roman Reigns (Pringle) Sammy Guervara (GoHard) Samoa Joe (Sloth) Santana (GoHard) Seth Rollins (KingBrew) The Undertaker (Pringle) The Usos (Lazy) Zelina Vega (P1)
The purpose of this thread is to allow a fair process for new pick ups now that everyone is aware of who is and isn't taken.
We know everyone leads different lives and work/whatever else can impact availabilities at certain times so with that in mind with the help of Austin I've organized this to be conducted in pairs of two members at a time that were randomly chosen between the 14 members confirmed. Each pool will have a 12 hour window to select their Superstars (up to 4 slots)
Reminder: TEAMS will only count as one Superstar slot as they'll strictly be used in the Tag Division. You ARE allowed to create your own teams so you can draft say John Cena and The Miz together for this if you'd like but they'll only be used in The Tag Division.
Once the current pool have made their picks or states they don't wish to take up any additional Superstars the next pool will officially be able to claim their Superstars. IF a member misses their 12 hour window they will be able to post their claims at anytime during the other pools but keep in mind the later you post the more Superstars that will be taken.
Last week we all saw a very strange sight in Cabinet member, Virgil subbing in for JBL in a promo. He addressed not only the MITB match, but how Matt Sydal screwed him over yet again. Later in the night we then saw JBL ask Layla what she planned to do about it. And to the surprise of everyone.....including JBL, she granted him the number one contendership to Sami Zayn’s WHC. Will he be successful in claiming the WHC for the first time or will Sami come over his bad luck streak with JBL?
Rematch
Last week we saw the Main Event between TV champion Dean Ambrose and Pete Dunn end in a no contest. This week we get a rematch between the two in an extreme rules match. Will Ambrose’s bad luck continue after loosing in an extreme rules match to Sami Zayn at emergence, or will he turn things around?
Coulda, shoulda, woulda
Last week we saw Nia Jax attempt to cash in her “earned” MITB contract on newly crowned women’s champion Natalya. Unexpectedly, it would just so happen that her contract would be nullified due to Alexa Blisses interference at Emergence. A rematch was called in which Carmella would take claim to the briefcase. Will Natalya be able to withstand the irresistible force?
33.3%
Last week we saw an encounter between Chris Sabin, Chad Gable, and AJ Styles. Each man claiming why he deserved the IC title more than the other. After a while of this they would be interrupted by none other than the Anarchy GM Layla. She would inform the three men that this week they will be in action for the IC championship. Will we see a new champion in the returning Chris Sabin, the Phenomenal AJ Styles, or will Chad Gable retain?
Absolutely InZayn
For over a year the “ultimate underdog” Sami Zayn and earned the respect of everyone around him but alas that all ended last week. The ring was full of XWL mega stars. Dean Ambrose, John Cena, Kenny Omega, HBK, and the champ himself Sami Zayn. They all declared themselves as the rightful #1 contender, and Sami was happy to face any of them. Then suddenly a strange mystery man would appear and assault John Cena.the man would be revealed as.....KEVIN OWENS. Sami would looked shocked.....but then happy. To the surprise of everyone Sami would help KO take out every man in the ring until it was cleared. He then told the world along with KO, that no longer will he bode to the crowds wishes. He now is his own man. With this new side of Sami Zayn what does this mean for the WHC scene?
After almost a year, April is no longer our Women's champion. Last week, Ruby Riot shocked everyone by cashing in on Anarchy and being the person who would finally dethrone XWL longest reigning current champ. As if the win was surprising enough, she followed it up by straight up denying Natalya a title match at International Incident.
Back Woods Beatdown
Luke Harper, fresh off an impressive win over Bad News Barrett, continued his focused hunt for Brock Lesnar. Luckily for him, it has been made official. The two men will square off in sanctioned action this week on Anarchy. The power that will be in that ring will be sure to leave some impressions.
Golden Gone?
We have watched the morale of Matt Sydal fading away since being forced into the Cabinet. Last week, we might have seen rock bottom as an outburst backstage led to rumors that he had walked out. Has Matt Sydal really quit XWL?Where will the show be without it's Golden Ticket?
Can't Spell Eliminated Without Eli
Eli Drake learned the hard way why friendships rarely last in the world of XWL as he found out that his former BFF BNB had essentially guaranteed his loss during the Elite championship match. As Barrett begged for forgiveness, Eli responded very succinctly, with a boot to the groin and a middle finger. This loss seems to have lit a fire in his belly, will it be enough to push him over his opponent this week: former Elite titleholder Finn Balor?
Ready, Willing, & Gable
Chad Gable has been making waves since he debuted, scoring win after win on his way to the Intercontinental Championship. Gable has done much to elevate the title that seemed to play musical chairs for months before. This week he will take on AJ Styles. Can he keep his momentum going against the Bullet Club?
Starting on the Anarchy following XWL's PPV EMERGENCE, the power rankings will be coming to XWL. It will be posted weekly with the top 5 superstars based on several different factors. (Match quality, promo quality, memorable moments, ect.) it will be discussed between a few admins and myself so it will not be biased. A small incentive to being on this will not only be recognition for ones hard work, but also a few points added to that characters store. The numbers are as followed.
Now above me is the numbers for the men, but fear not. The women of wrestling have been proving that they are just as skilled, if not more so, in the ring than men. I haven't forgotten about you, so there will also be a power rankings for XWL's Women's Division. Same guidelines apply, although since there a fewer women than men here in XWL, there will also be fewer spots on their power rankings. Here are their point rewards.
What's a surefire way to to endanger your chance at having a long prosperous career? Going after the boss's favorite toy, and damn near ripping it’s arm out of their socket, forcing them to have no other choice than to vacate their Intercontinental Championship, sidelining them for for the foreseeable future. The Authority took a hit when Suicide did just that to Seth Rollins on Anarchy's debut episode back in November. Suicide waged a war against The Authority whether intentional or not, which lead him to battles against J & J, both official and not. Ultimately, Seth Rollins would return, a week earlier than hyped by The Authority, to "eliminate" Suicide from the equation, and allow Seth safe passage to reclaim the title he never lost. However those plans were foiled when Suicide was not only still a factor, he attacked Seth preventing him from competing in the Intercontinental Championship Fatal Four Way, and that has lead us...to tonight. Suicide...versus Seth Rollins...No Disqualifications...and if Suicide loses, Seth Rollins has promised to personally fire him. The odds are not in Suicide's favor, but that hasn't stopped him this entire time, so don't count out this masked superstar just yet, he may have one more trick, under that mask.
On XWL's debut edition of Anarchy, head of The Divas Division Layla would announce that under the order of a "new era" Bayley would be stripped of her Divas Championship, however...having fought through blood, sweats, and tears inside The Elimination Chamber to have won that title, Bayley would refuse to give it up so easily. A defiant Bayley showed a side of herself Layla nor The XWL Universe had ever truly seen before...she wasn't the lovable sweet innocent woman that could do no wrong...she was a champion that wouldn't surrender. A woman that would do anything, even attack her own boss when Layla snatched the title out of her hands. But not to be outdone, Layla would fire Bayley, ending her childhood dream, and taking away her very livelihood all in the same moment. A month after her firing, Bayley would reemerge, attempt to sabotage Layla's creation in The Womens Championship Tournament Finals...and while her efforts would fail, her mission...was just getting started. If she couldn't be an XWL diva, she would be the next best thing, a regular member of the audience, every single week. Just the sight of Bayley disrupted the show, and after several weeks...enough...was enough. Layla would give Bayley exactly what she wanted, she wanted her job back? Then you've got it, if you can do what you couldn't do at Breakthrough, and defeat The Womens Championship Match in Eva Marie, and Madison Rayne...then you would be rehired. While the odds seemed to be too much for Bayley last week, handicapped by having to compete against two women...Bayley would find an unlikely savior to her certain demise. Paige spent weeks expressing her disdain over the state of the division, and she's now done something about it. But by helping Bayley regain her job, has she now put her own in danger? Her future perhaps may be uncertain, but tonight...it's not about her, or what she did. It's about the result of her actions, it's about Bayley. Tonight live in the middle of that ring, Bayley meets Layla to sign her official XWL contract!
Two weeks ago saw an Intercontinental Champion crowned, when Sheamus defeated both Austin Aries & Matt Sydal in a Triple Threat Match. A victory that has not only ignited a fire under the new champion himself...but the fallen challengers as well. Last week Austin Aries and Matt Sydal would not only have a run in backstage before their one on one contest against one another, but their match would see a not so conclusive finish. Matt Sydal with the help of the ropes, would pin Aries...but due to the nature of how he got that pin, and the look on Austin's face last week...things may not be over between these two men, at least as far as Aries is concerned. How will last week's controversy effect tonight, when Matt Sydal goes one on one, in a non-title encounter with Sheamus, the man that didn't pin him to become champion two weeks ago? Will Matt show why he should get another shot at Sheamus, or will Austin decide to show up and stake his claim at the Intercontinental title instead? Perhaps Sheamus will dispose of both gentlemen just as he did two weeks ago, and shutdown their hopes of getting another crack at him? One thing's for certain, tonight one of those questions will be the answer by the time Anarchy goes off the air.
Either you're with The Authority, or you're against The Authority. Dean Ambrose is neither here nor there. Despite Stephanie's best efforts, to mold Dean into the man that did her "dirty work" she would fail and succeed, last week...but not in the way she wanted to. For while Dean would not do her bidding, he would damn sure do the bidding of The XWL Universe. He would rough up, not Suicide, or Randy Orton as Stephanie flat out demanded previously...but instead J& J Security. Not able to protect themselves from the onslaught, both J's would give Dean the leverage he needed for what not he wanted, but what the fans wanted. A World Heavyweight Championship match between himself, and Randy Orton! Having beaten the champion once before on the very night Randy won the title in the first place...his claim for a title match was accepted...and in The Main-Event, lightning would strike twice when he would do what no one else still had done, and defeat Randy Orton again, this time, for The World title! However, always one step ahead...It's as if The Authority knew what was coming, because before Dean's championship victory, saw the unexpected reveal of another jewel in the Authority's crown. Finn Balor returned with the blessing of the big bad McMahon herself, Stephanie. The rebirth of Finn Balor as he called it, rising up from the ashes of obscurity, to take what is rightfully his. Is it any coincidence that his first match back tonight, will be against the new World Heavyweight Champion? With a guarantee from Balor himself, that he will reach new heights in 2016...Dean's reign may already be in jeopardy.
At Breakthrough, we saw a rematch, under new terms, for The Womens Championship. Tonight, we see THE rematch, of the rematch. It all started on the second edition of Anarchy back in November, Eva Marie the hot new prospect, would meet Madison Rayne, and become a growing statistic on The Killer Queen's undefeated streak. That next week, would see the start of a tournament, one that would see the crowning of a Womens Champion. They both had their own journey to the finals, Eva bouncing back from defeat more determined than ever, and Madison remaining ever so dominant, going into Breakthrough as the odds on favorite. But The Red Queen would attain sweet redemption, when she not only would "kill" The Killer Queen's undefeated streak, but her hopes of becoming Womens Champion when she took the title for her own. Despite the fact that both women were obviously more focused on the title than making friends, Eva and Madison would attempt to play "nice" with one another, however...there are no friendships when it comes to championships, especially when you're put in a Handicap Match against a woman that nearly ruined your match together at Breakthrough, and then through outside interference, and your own distraction, you fail at getting payback. Which has lead us to tonight, the rubber match. Each holds a victory over one another, each has given the other their first defeat, and each of these two women claim to be a "Queen." So now, the one true "crown" is a stake. Will Madison Rayne, after years of trying, at long last capture the coveted title? Will Eva Marie once again reign supreme, and keep her hold of the "throne" that is The Divas Division? Once again, rookie meets veteran, and this time...not only is it for The Womens Championship...it's their moment in history, as for the first time ever, they Main-Event. One of these women will be seeing red when all is said and done, but will it be Madison as she lays there watching Eva stand over her victorious...or will it be Eva, furious at the sight of Madison with her title?
