Styles: I don’t know but it will be a good match no doubt about it!
The camera then goes back to Eric Bishoffs office as the General Manager stands by…
Bishoff: Now, last week I told Jamie Noble, Chris Sabin and Jay Lethal I had an idea for a great match and I am here to explain it. At No Way Out there will be a match with Christopher Daniels defending his X-Division title, this is not an ordinary match, no, the match takes place in a steel cage! That’s not all though, you see at the very top of that cage there will be two wires going across in the shape of an X. In the very middle of that X will be the X-Division title which will be hanging down above the ring. This is basically 20 foot steel cage meets ultimate X but I like to call it, The X Cage match! So this Sunday at No Way Out it will be Jay Lethal Vs Chris Sabin Vs Jamie Noble Vs our X-Division Champion Christopher Daniels in the X-Cage Match! To win the match you must climb up the steel cage and grab a hold of the wire, move towards the title and unhook it to be crowned the X-Division Champion!
The crowd cheers wildly at Eric Bishoffs idea…
Bishoff: I am glad you all like it. Well I am out here and making great matches I may as well inform you of all the other current matches that will take place at No Way Out. For the World Heavyweight Championship it will be Y2J Chris Jericho taking on the Olympic Gold Medallist, Kurt Angle! The Legends Killer Randy Orton will go one on one with the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Micheals! The Instant Classic Christian Cage will take on Mr Kennedy! Mickie James will be defending her Women’s title against Victoria! The Phenomenal AJ Styles will be going head to head with the Monster, Abyss! And last of all it will be The Worlds Greatest Tag Team taking on Matt Bentley and Kazarian for the IPW tag team titles!
The crowd again cheers loudly…

The Camera goes backstage to JB with a guest…
JB: Hello everybody I’m JB, Jeremy Borash and standing by with me is the World Heavyweight Champion Y2J, Chris Jericho! Chris, how do you feel about your loss last week to Randy Orton and Kurt Angle?
Jericho: Well Borash, after what happened last week quite frankly, I am pissed off! First of all that little weasel Randy Orton takes advantage of the match by getting in little cheap shots the whole time as does that bald headed ass clown Kurt Angle. Y2J and HBK would have kicked both of their asses last week but they got us off guard!
JB: Okay, now what are your thoughts on defending your World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle this Sunday at No Way Out?
Jericho: Well how do you think I feel Jeremy?! I agreed to fight Kurt Angle which obviously means I feel confident about winning and retaining my World title which I wear proudly around my waist. I am going to beat this Olympic Gold Medallist with ease, come to think of it he probably cheated to win that medal like he cheated to win the match last week with Orton. At No Way Out I will make sure he doesn’t get a chance to cheat because when he can’t cheat he can’t win! Kurt, there is no beating me because I am the best wrestler in the World! I have got the skill, the strength; the talent and hell I have even got the good looks which just means you cannot beat me! This is pretty much a rematch from the first ever Explosion except this time it is just me and you Kurt but believe me, that outcome will stay the same! Now get the hell out of my face Borash, I have more important things to do!
JB: well thanks for your time…
Commercial Break

Styles: Definitely Mike, I wonder how Victoria will feel about this. Their match at No Way Out will be great!
The Camera goes backstage to Eric Bishoffs office where four superstars walk in pushing and shoving…
Bishoff: Calm down people! Now what can I do for all of you?
Striker: Well Mr Bishoff you could start by giving me the Television title since you haven’t yet given me or any of these men a shot.
Carlito: Striker, why would Bishoff give you the title when I would just take it whenever I got a shot at it? The title belongs with me, a true fighter, not some pathetic teacher!
Regal: No, the title belongs with me. The Television title would be well suited with a great Englishman like myself not some bloody American teacher or afro haired apple spitter! Mr Bishoff, I deserve that title.
D’Lo: Nah man you guys got it all wrong, that title belongs to D’Lo! Why would Eric give the title to an Englishman?!
Bishoff: Alright gentlemen, calm down. I am sorry for not giving any of you title shots earlier I just had to find out who deserved it most and from what I have seen you all deserve it or at least a shot for it. I tell you what; how about at No Way Out we make it…
Santino Marella then barges in through the door…

I am better then-ah the teacher Matt Striker, I am better then-ah the afro man, I am better then-ah the stupid English-ah man and I am MUCH better then-ah the D’Lo of Brown!
Bishoff: Santino I don’t appreciate you coming in here like this but I tell you what, how about I give you a match tonight and if you win you can join these men in a match at No Way Out for the Television title. Tonight Santino, how would you like to go one on one with a man you have fought before, the Monster Abyss!
Santino: No-ah that will not-ah be necessary! I will win-ah the Television title some other time-ah! Good bye Mr Bitchoff!
Santino exits the office…
Bishoff: So at No Way Out, you four men will be in a fatal four way match where the winner becomes the first ever IPW Television title!
Striker: Thanks Mr Bishoff. There is no chance that an idiot Italian will EVER be winning the Television title, and at No Way Out the smartest man will be winning and that man is your teacher Matt Striker!
Carlito: Thank you Eric, I will be winning the Television title at No Way Out, now that’s cool!
Regal: You imbeciles don’t have a chance of winning that title; you might as well engrave my name on the title now because I will be winning at No Way Out!
All men leave as the Camera goes back to the announcers table…
Styles: Another great match announced for No Way Out Mike, this PPV is going to be great!

Randy: Shawn Micheals, your time is ticking away. It’s not to long until I kill the legend of the Heart Break Kid! Think about it Shawn, all those years of hard work making it to the top and winning world titles, gone once I destroy you this Sunday. Shawn, for years now you have been in the spotlight and you made a huge name for yourself, one of the most known names in the wrestling world and I will be the man known for taking you out of the spotlight by ending your career! At No Way Out I will beat you just like I beat you last week, only the beating will be much more brutal, so brutal that you never comeback to IPW. Once Kurt Angle is done with beating you tonight you will go into No Way Out, battered and bruised and I will destroy what is left of you! This Sunday will mark the Day that Randy Orton killed the Legend of the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Micheals! Oh and believe me Shawn, there will be NO WAY OUT!
