Ok here we go, my first shot at Riots. I will probably have made some mistakes regarding current storylines but I am still familiarizing myself with the SWA so give me some time. Here goes, enjoy.
-------------------------
The show starts with a video package recapping the closing events of last week’s Riots. We see the finish to the handicap main event which saw Punk use a steel chair to disqualify himself and Randy Orton. We see the vicious attack carried out on both Booker T and the SWA Champion, Christian Cage. The video closes out with Adam McMichaels announcing his involvement in the attack, revealing himself to be the leader.
The Riots video package then plays before we cut to the arena where the camera pans in on thousands of screaming Riots fans. The pyro then goes off before the music of Adam McMichaels plays. There are huge boos as Adam McMichaels with Randy Orton, CM Punk, Chris Harris and James Storm standing behind him. James Storm takes a swig of his drink which causes Punk to react. He grabs the bottle and smashes it to the ground. Storm looks sad as the group progress down the ramp. Adam laughs at the crowd as he climbs up onto the apron. He gets into the ring.
Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Adam McMichaels, Randy Orton, CM Punk and America’s Most Wanted!
The crowd boo at this attempt to get the crowd to “welcome†the group. Adam grabs Roberts’ mic and starts to speak.
Adam McMichaels: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night Riots!
The crowd boo as Adam and the group chuckle amongst each other.
Adam McMichaels: I’m sure you all loved my attack last night, it was quite simply greatness. The whole handicapped match, the truly sickening attack on Booker T and then Christian Cage. Which reminds me. Christian Cage. That’ll teach you not to show up uncalled for. If you had minded your own business you wouldn’t have been suffering some serious injuries.
The crowd boo.
Adam McMichaels: You all know it’s true so don’t bother denying it. We have our beef with Booker T. Or should I say we had our beef with Booker T. You, Christian Cage have seriously annoyed us and you shall pay for your actions. I could always strip you of your SWA Championship.
The crowd boo angrily, showing some new found support for Christian.
Adam McMichaels: SHUT THE HELL UP! As I said, I could strip you of your title. But that would depreive me of seeing young Randy here kick your ass at WrestleSlam which, in the end, is what we all want, and will see.
The crowd are getting extremely angry, which pleases Adam.
Adam McMichaels: So no, I won’t strip you of your title. No, I’d prefer that you receive some physical pain which is why tonight...
Before our General Manager can continue though, he is interrupted by the countdown 5...4...3...2...1! And there he is, the SWA Champion, Christian Cage! The crowd go crazy with a huge pop for the champion. He smiles and signals to his peeps. He has his belt over his shoulder with a mic in his left hand and his right hand holding the title belt.
Christian Cage: Well look who it is, Adam McMichaels. As one John Cena used to say, The Champ is Here!
The crowd pop at the cheap rip at John Cena as Christian walks from side to side at the top of the ramp.
Christian Cage: Now last week, Booker T was brutally attacked along with me, I’ll get to that, but Booker got the worst of it and is currently in hospital so won’t be here tonight.
Crowd show some signs of disappointment but Cage continues.
Christian Cage: I’m a man on a mission. On a mission to rid SWA of you five. I don’t care how long it takes, I’ll make it happen. I’ll start with you, Randy. At WrestleSlam, you will be no more. I will destroy you. I will ensure that this title remains by my side.
Randy Orton: Hold on th...
Christian Cage: Whoa Randy! Didn’t you notice? I WAS TALKING!
Cage thinks for a second and comes up with something.
Christian Cage: How about this Randy, here is my proposal to you, let me end your career early. You get your title shot here tonight, how about it?
Randy Orton: Me, face you tonight? For the SWA Title? Well... wait NO! NO! My bones have yet to heal from Warzone. I reject your proposal.
Adam McMichaels: Wait a second, Randy. Now I am in agreement that this match will not happen tonight. However, you don’t have to wait till WrestleSlam to get the SWA Championship. I can see it right now. Next week on Riots. The SWA Championship. Christian Cage vs The Biggest Superstar in the SWA, RANDY ORTON! Yes, pure genius. The ratings will be golden.
Randy Orton: But...but...
Adam McMichaels: Then it’s official. Next week on Riots. Christian Cage vs Randy Orton for the SWA Championship. Oh and Christian, if you fail to retain your title, you will not receive a rematch as long as Randy is champion. And that shall be a very long time!
Christian chuckles and then drops his title. He darts for the ring, after the men in the ring. McMichaels and Orton slide out of the ring but Punk, Harris and Storm are still in the ring. Christian clotheslines Punk to the floor and hits a double bulldog taking Harris and Storm out. He then waits and as Punk gets up, Christian hits the Unprettier to huge approval from the crowd. Christian grabs a microphone.
Christian Cage: Next week, Randy, this will be you. Decked out in the ring with one man standing tall, the SWA Champion, the Instant Classic, Captain Charisma, CHRISTIAN CAGE!
Christian drops the mic and slides out of the ring, chasing McMichaels and Orton out of the ring as Christian looks back at the crowd.
-Commercial Break-
Mark Cellers: Hello everybody and welcome to Friday Night Riots. Now before the break we saw some shocking events unfold which resulted in the announcement of an SWA Championship match next week. Instead of facing the champion at WrestleSlam, Randy Orton will challenge Christian Cage next week.
Jake Reed: It is definitely going to be a match for the ages and possibly the best one in Riots history.
Mark Cellers: Without a doubt, Jake. Now first up tonight the Hardcore Championship will be defended in a proper match when Rob Van Dam attempts to win the belt. It’s RVD vs Rhino, and it’s happening next!
One of a Kind hits as the challenger, Rob Van Dam arrives at the top of the ramp. He receives a huge pop from this crowd here as he walks down the ramp, performing his usual taunts and signalling he will soon be the champ.
Justin Roberts: Making his way to the ring, the challenger, Rob Van Dam!
RVD runs down the final part of the ramp and slides into the ring he raises both arms and does one of his trademark taunts as his music dies down and he waits for his opponent, Rhino. The drum sounds as the Hardcore Champ arrives at the ramp. He jumps as high as possible and some pyro goes off. He then runs all the way down the ramp and slides into the ring.
Justin Roberts: And his opponent, the Hardcore Champion, Rhino!
Mark Cellers: The two men are in the ring, the match is getting underway, this is hardcore action only on Riots!
Hardcore Championship: Hardcore Champion, Rhino vs Rob Van Dam
The two men circle the arena, preparing to square off. The two ECW Originals eye each other as the referee claps, gunning them on. Evenutally, RVD darts at the champion, trying to start the match off properly. The grapple towards the ropes. RVD grabs Rhino and tosses him to the other side of the ring, sending him bouncing off the ropes. RVD tries to take Rhino out but Rhino ducks and then comes flying back at RVD with a nice clothesline. The fans show their appreciation with some Rhino chants. Rhino raises his arms, showing his thanks for their support as Rob slowly gets back to his feet. Rhino runs after RVD and starts to throw some rights and lefts, hitting Rob Van Dam square on the head. Rhino then grabs RVD’s head and sends him straight into the mat with a sweet bulldog. The champion shows his hardcore mindset by sliding out of the ring and going for a weapon. He grabs a steel chair and gets back to his feet, but as he turns around he receives a huge Van Daminator to a huge pop. RVD goes for a pin. 1...2...NO!
RVD is shocked. He was thinking that he had it wrapped up in the early stages. He gets to his feet and pulls Rhino up. He sends him into the barricade and then runs at him. He goes for a clothesline over the barricade but Rhino dodges the attempt and as RVD turns around, nails him with a huge GORE! Rhino has won this already, surely. 1...2...NO! RVD kicks out at the very last second, to the surprise of most fans.
The Hardcore Champion climbs to his feet and eyes his opponent. As the Whole Damn Show climbs to his feet, the Man Beast hits a huge spinning spinebuster onto the concrete floor. Rhino raises both arms, saluting the fans. He then starts to kick at RVD repeatedly. The champ is trying to wear down his opponent. He spots the steel chair which was used recently and grabs it. He waits patiently for the King of Extreme to climb to his feet. As Rob turns around, Rhino goes for a steel chair shot straight to the head but RVD ducks and then hits a quick legsweep, flooring the champion. RVD gets to his feet and prepares himself. He steps back and then flips for some Rolling Thunder! The crowd pop as RVD slides into the ring and jumps to the turnbuckle. He dives for the Five Star Frog Splash! NO! The champion moved at the last second. RVD hits the mat hard, much to the surprise of these fans. Rhino slowly climbs to his feet and rolls RVD over for a pinfall. 1...2.. but RVD kicks out with some ease at the two count. Rhino climbs to his feet. He is hurting alot but must continue. The champion looks under the ring for some sort of weapon. He finds a table and pulls it out.He grabs it and takes it towards the ring post with no steps in front of it. He places it vertically so to hit a gore into it.
Rhino grabs Van Dam and moves him over towards the table. He gives him a few rights to lower the risk of him countering. The champion takes a few step backs and prepares. He prepares, taunting his opponent and then darts at RVD, but Rob returns the favour of countering each others finisher and moves out of the way from the speeding bullet as Rhino breaks the table and subsequently smashes his head into the ring post. Van Dam quickly grabs a steel chair and as Rhino woozily turns around, looking set to fall, RVD throws the chair into the air and jumps for a second VAN DAMINATOR! The crowd go crazy as Rhino is busted open. The blood is all over Rhino suddenly, which gives the fans some real excitement. Van Dam doesn’t go for a pin though, instead he slowly climbs to his feet and gives the crowd some appreciation, performing some taunts. He then grabs the Hardcore Championship from ringside and raises it in the air. He walks over to Rhino and rubs it in his face repeatedly, causing repeated shouts of pain from the War Machine. Van Dam finishes with a smack across the face with the belt. He then tosses the belt to the side and goes for a pin. 1...2...3...NO! Somehow, someway, the Hardcore Champion gets the shoulder up. Rob Van Dam is insensed though, certain that the referee had counted for three and that he should be champion. The referee denies this though.
Van Dam grabs Rhino and tosses him into the ring. RVD follows him and then starts to kick the champ repeatedly. Van Dam is clearly angry and simply wants to end this now. He throws repeated punches, causing further bleeding at the head of Rhino. Van Dam doesn’t care. He continues the punches, trying to get into the head of the Man Beast. He eventually stops and tries to pull Rhino up, but Rhino reverses and brings RVD down to the mat. Rhino gets some kicks in there and then, as RVD gets to his feet, Rhino hits a huge belly to belly suplex! The crowd pop at the athletisism of Rhino for such a big man. Rhino nods and then waits patiently. Slowly, RVD climbs to his feet and as he turns around, Rhino runs at him and hits the GORE! GORE! GORE! The crowd go crazy as the Champion goes for the pin. 1...2...3! Rhino retains the Hardcore Championship!
Winner: Still Hardcore Champion, Rhino!
Mark Cellers: What a match, folks! Rhino retains the Hardcore Championship.
Jake Reed: I can’t believe Rhino did it. RVD dominated for huge parts of the match, but Rhino found it in himself to pull out another Gore and win the match.
Mark Cellers: No doubt. Coming up next, Mr. Kennedy battles Kurt Angle.
Jake Reed: You can believe there’ll be some sort of involvement from Bret Hart.
-Commercial Break-
As we return to Riots, we are in the General Manager’s office. Adam is on the phone, he seems to be concluding his conversation.
Adam McMichaels: Yes, sir. Yes. I understand. Thanks for letting me know, goodbye.
Adam puts down the phone as Randy Orton walks into the office.
Randy Orton: Hey, boss.
Adam McMichaels: Yes, *sigh* Randy?
Randy Orton: I just wanted to know what sort of pain you plan on putting Christian through tonight?
Adam McMichaels: I’ve been thinking, and how about this, America’s Most Wanted vs Christian Cage and a partner of his choice.
Randy Orton: Sounds great, boss, but wouldn’t you be better just having another handicap match?
Adam McMichaels: See, I still have to give these fans something to cheer about, I still have ratings to consider and I have to keep things fresh.
Randy Orton: I understand, sir.
The cameras return to the arena as Orton gives his goodbyes.
Mark Cellers: Huge announcement right there. In our main event here on Riots, America’s Most Wanted vs The SWA Champion, Christian Cage and a partner of his choice.
Jake Reed: You have to wonder just who Cage will pick.
Mark Cellers: We’ll find out soon enough.
Turn Up The Trouble hits and Mr. Kennedy stands at the top of the ramp. He walks down the ramp and taunts the crowd.
Justin Roberts: Introducing first, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, MISTTTTEERRRRR KENNNEEDDDYYYY!
Kennedy smiles and slides into the ring. He stares at Roberts and then raises both arms, awaiting his opponent.
Medal hits and the crowd goes wild as Kurt Angle walks onto the stage. He signals the crowd and then poses as lots of pyro goes off behind him, red, white and blue everywhere.
Justin Roberts: And his opponent, he is the only Olympic Gold Medallist in pro wrestling history, Kurt Angle!
Angle pulls off his medal and raises it high in the air. He puts it in the corner of the ring and stares at his opponent. World’s Greatest Tag Team can be seen clearly watching in the crowd as the cameras return to the ring.
Mr. Kennedy vs Kurt Angle
The match kicks off as both men circle the ring. Angle goes for a hold quickly, and grabs Kennedy. He puts the Loudmouth into a nice headlock. He keeps it locked in and then eventually sends him into the ropes. As he comes bouncing back, Angle drills him with a HUGE clothesline, flipping Kennedy over. Angle looks around the arena and then kicks Kennedy in the face. He pulls Kennedy to his feet and throws some rights to the face. And then flips him over with a huge belly to back suplex. Kurt climbs to his feet and eyes Kennedy. He taunts the crowd and then, as Kennedy gets up, hits a huge European Uppercut taking Kennedy straight back down to the mat. Kurt Angle goes for the quick pin. 1...2... but a kick out at the very last second keeps Mr. Kennedy in the match.
Angle awaits his opponent to get to his feet. As Kennedy does, Angle gets behind him and begins a series of German suplexes. He hits the first with precision and keeps it locked in. He goes for the second and hits it sucessfully. He continues, hitting the third. The fans are on their feet. This is truly epic. In the early stages of this match, Angle is already using these German Suplexes to wear down Mr. Kennedy. He goes for it again and manages it perfectly. On his fifth attempt though, Kennedy reverses and hits a nice bulldog. Kennedy then waits for Angle. As Kurt gets to his feet, Kennedy hits a nice knee lift sending Angle straight back down to the mat.
Kennedy continues the offence, determined to get back into this match. He tries to pull Angle to his feet but Angle reverses and hits a nice DDT, sending Kennedy down to the mat. Angle dives over to Kennedy and locks in a headlock. He keeps the move applied, trying to pressure Kennedy into losing his consciousness. Angle eventually gives up and lets go. He instead applies a body scissors, which clearly causes more damage. Angle laughs as he tightens the grip and screams, trying to apply even more pressure. The cameras zoom in on Kennedy’s face. The Future of Sports Entertainment looks like he is about to burst. He is losing it, but he then notices the ropes aren’t too far and pulls his way towards them. He sticks a foot out and manages to reach the ropes much to Kurt Angle and the fans’ disappointment. Angle kicks Kennedy on the face as he climbs to his feet in anger. He quickly goes for the Ankle Lock! Almost the whole arena are on their feet, eager to find out what happens.
Suddenly the cameras zoom in on The New Hart Foundation who stand at the top of the ramp. Angle lets go, and tells Haas and Benjamin, who are still watching at ringside to go after them. Angle watches on as his men run up the ramp, but as he turns around, Bret Hart is in the crowd. He laughs and jumps over the barricade. He looks at Angle as suddenly Kennedy rolls him over for the pin. 1...2...3! Kennedy steals it.
Winner: Mr.
Kennedy slides out of the ring and jumps into the crowd, worried that Angle might retaliate. The cameras switch to Bret Hart who is laughing. Angle is red with fury. He slides out of the ring and chases after Hart. Hart jumps over the barricade again and runs off into the crowd. Angle tries to catch him as we cut over to Mark Cellers and Jake Reed.
Mark Cellers: Oh my god! Bret Hart just cost Kurt Angle the match!
Jake Reed: This is unacceptable. Bret Hart should be punished for his actions.
Mark Cellers: I wish that were possible, Jake. We were entertained to a great match here tonight though, with Kennedy stealing it.
Jake Reed: No doubt, Mike.
Mark Cellers: Moving on though, who will be the champion’s partner? Find out after the break!
-Commercial Break-
As we return, we see the SWA Champion getting ready for his match in his locker room. He is seen getting the tape around his hands and then practicing his right and lefts. He does a few jumps and then starts to make his way towards the arena.
Mark Cellers: Welcome back to Friday Night Riots. Coming up very soon, America’s Most Wanted vs Christian Cage and a partner of his choice.
Jake Reed: Here come AMW!
James Storm and Chris Harris stand at the top of the ramp. They receive many boos as they make their way to the ring.
Justin Roberts: Introducing first, America’s Most Wanted!
Harris and Storm climb into the ring and await their opponents.
5...4...3...2...1 and here comes the SWA Champion, Christian Cage. The crowd go crazy as the champion struts down the ramp. He signals them as he is welcomed.
Justin Roberts: And introducing their first opponent, the SWA Champion, Christian Cage!
Cage climbs into the ring and looks down the ramp as the arena goes silent, awaiting the arrival of Christian’s partner.
Mark Cellers: Who’s it gonna be?
IF YA SMMEELLLLAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Mark Cellers: OHHHH MYYY GOODD!!!! The Rock is here on Riots!
Jake Reed: Holy sh**!
Everyone has their eyes on the entrance ramp. Suddenly the Rock appears at the top of the ramp. He smiles and acknowledges the crowd, he is clearly absolutely excited to be here while the crowd are well and truly shellshocked. This is the biggest moment in Riots history.
Justin Roberts: And his partner, he is The Great One, THE ROOOCCKK!!!
The crowd pop as The Rock jumps up onto the apron and climbs into the ring. He shakes hands with his partner, Christian Cage. Rocky smiles and looks around the arena. As the match is about to get underway, we are interrupted by Burn In My Light as Randy Orton appears at the top of the ramp in a suit. He struts down to the ring.
Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Randy Orton!
The crowd boo as Orton makes his way to the announce table and gets ready to commentate the match.
America’s Most Wanted vs The SWA Champion, Christian Cage and The Rock
Cage and Storm begin the match. Cage gets the better of Storm and takes him down to the mat. The crowd pop as Christian starts to kick Storm. He locks in a submission of sorts, but Storm easily reverses and the idea turns against Christian. James Storm pulls Christian towards Harris and tags him in. The two try to double team Cage, with some sort of suplex but Christian reverses and bounces off the ropes. As he comes back, he double clotheslines both of AMW and then runs over to his corner. He tags in The Rock to an absolutely momentus pop. The crowd go absolutely mental as The Rock clotheslines James Storm. Chris Harris climbs to his feet next and is granted the same fate. This time, Rocky goes back to his roots with a huge flying clothesline, flipping James Storm straight over. He runs at Harris and instead of clotheslining him, Rocky scoops Harris onto his back and hits a beautiful Samoan Drop. He goes for the pinfall. 1...2... Rocky thought he had it but at the last second, Storm broke it up.
Rocky decides its time to bring Christian back into the match and tags him in. Both men head over to Harris and throw some rights and lefts each. They then both lift Harris up for a nice double suplex. Rocky then heads over to his corner and watches on. Christian throws a right and then hits a nice DDT. He goes for the pin but Harris kicks out at two. Christian tries to slow down the pace and wear down Harris as he applies the body scissors. Christian keeps it locked for a while before Harris eventually makes his dive for the ropes. He manages to reach it, but the move will likely take it’s toll on Harris as the match wears on. Christian gets to his feet and throws some rights to the head of Harris. He walks over to Rocky and tags the Great One in again. The crowd let out another massive pop as Rock goes riot. He takes Harris down and then runs over to Storm’s corner and sends a high knee into the jaw of Storm causing him to fall off the apron.
Rocky then walks back over to Harris and as Chris climbs to his feet, Rock kicks him and goes for the Rock Bottom! He hits it with precision. He doesn’t go for a pin though. He instead looks down at his fallen opponent and prepares for the People’s Elbow, but as he bounces off the ropes James Storm grabs his neck and pulls him back, trying to get some payback. This gives Harris the time to get back to his feet and attack Rocky. He throws a couple of punches and then pulls his head, running and hits the bulldog. Harris runs over to Storm and makes the tag. Storm gets into the ring and goes after The Rock, however The Rock is superior, reversing it into the ROCK BOTTOM! The crowd go crazy as The Rock rolls Storm over for the pinfall. 1...2...3! The Rock wins the match!
Winners: SWA Champion, Christian Cage and The Rock
Mark Cellers: What a return for The Rock and what a win for him and the SWA Champion.
Randy Orton: Shut the hell up, Mike. This is totally undeserved!
Orton fumbles and rips off his headset. He gets out of his seat and heads into the ring. The Rock raises his eyebrow to an absolutely huge pop as Orton slowly backs off. He feels something on his back and turns around to a huge right from the SWA Champion. The crowd pop as Christian returns the favour of a beating. The Rock gives a hand but they do not inflict much damage, simply a few punches before Christian hands it over to The Rock. Rocky kicks him and then goes for the ROCK BOTTOM! The crowd go mental as The Rock raises his arm. IF YAAA SMEEELLLLL!!! hits as Mike and Jake bid us farewell
Mark Cellers: It saddens me to inform you that we have reached the end of our show. We hope you enjoyed and be sure to tune in next week. Goodnight!
The screens slowly fades as we zoom in on a smiling SWA Champion, Christian Cage alongside The Rock. Riots fans are welcomed with a surprise though, as the screen fades. A video begins to play. The Riots theme tune plays in the background as text flashes on the screen.
Narrator: NEXT WEEK!
Lightning flashes.
Narrator: Riots returns to its winning formula.
More lightning flashes along with an evil laugh heard in the distance.
Narrator: Next week, Riots returns to two hours
The laugh comes to an end as many Riots superstars are seen, along with the newest acquisition, The Rock. The video slowly comes to an end as the music fades out and the SWA Entertainment message appears.
