Obama's uncle arrested in Massachusetts

[Seventh Reason]

Nice build-up to Wrestlebowl. I really enjoyed the 4-man Battle Royal. An excellent commentary combo as well.

And the MMA bout adds nice spice to it all.

Plenty to like. Four stars.

BTW Nitro Review (The Review bomb: First strike)

Over the Top Battle Royal- This was a great match. Your transitions between what was going on, on both sides of the ring were nice a clear, making it eazy to tell what was going on. The ending was suprising. Match of the Night

Joey/Christian promo- What happened to Joey, why was he gone? Christian was perfectly in character here.

Jericho vs. Burke- Some good psychology in this one. The commentary by Christian was good. On a side note I think it's called "the headset", not "headgear".

Handicap match- EPIC SQUASH! The fight between Sapp and Umaga afterwords was a nice touch.

C/MVP promo- Crushing C saying "Who can it be?" made me laugh for some reason. The ending was pretty funny too.

Submission challenge- This was an interesting idea. I would say that it wasn't the best booking decision because it kind of made Joe's choke look weak in the end, same with Punk's anaconda vice.

Rock promo- One of your shorter ones. It was good and straight to the point.

Rock vs. Henry- The match was pretty good. As of late Henry has becoming the Jobber to the Stars.

Edge promo/Hardy brawl- This was promo of the night thus far. The after match brawl makes me think that Hardy is going over at Wrestlebowl.

Cage vs. Colt- This was one of your shorter matches, but it was a really good one. Good to see Colt get some mic time and hit his finisher on one of the top wrestlers.

Orton promo- Really good heel promo from Orton. I was suprised that Rock attacked Orton that bad.

MMA thing- I hate this story, but I will say that this segment was interesting. I think that Tito and Randy act too much like wrestlers and not like fighters.

MVP/C/Rikishi promo- Another funny promo from these two. It seemed weird that MVP said "Gosh"

End promo- Some great mic work from all involved. This is the Promo of the Night for sure. Good way to end the show.

AC- This was one of the best BTW Nitro's that I've read. Everything flowed nicely, it was a great read. Wrestlebowl should be an amazing show. Thanks for the POI review.

 

[THE Renegade Diesel]

BTW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H(c) vs Brock Lesnar
Oh... Em.... Gee... It is here, and I can't wait. The match of the century. This is going to be awesome. Lesnar loses though, as I think you are going to shock us. HHH should give the belt up, but its not happening on CMS's watch.

Special Guest Referee: Ken Shamrock
Goldberg and Randy Couture vs Big Show and Tito Ortiz
Can't wait for this one. Should be awesome.

The Undertaker vs MVP
Meh, should be a good match.

Randy Orton vs The Rock
I have a feeling I'm wrong, but I hope Rocky wins it for Rikishi.

CM Punk vs Samoa Joe
IDK here, just going with my gut.

BTW Continental Title Match
Christian Cage(c) vs Chris Jericho
We need to have a feel good moment other than the tag match. This is it.

Monster's Ball
Sabu vs Rob Van Dam vs AJ Styles vs Mr. Kennedy
He pitched the idea, and he's been on a losing streak. It all comes to an end here, and then at Busted Open its AJ Styles versus the BTW Champion! Maybe..

No Holds Barred
Rikishi vs Crushing C
Isn't Crushing C you? Lol

Edge vs Jeff Hardy
Clean win shockingly, and all the current Edge promotion on your sig, and avy just adds to the speculation.

Bob Sapp vs Umaga
I'm not expecting this until now, and I guess this will take Sapp off of his high pedestal he's been on for the last while.

Official Preview Guide​

Since Up Rising, Triple H has been on top of the BTW food chain, reigning as the BTW World Heavyweight Champion. Since Krakatoa, Brock Lesnar's road has been linked with Bob Sapp and their growing rivalry, and even before that he has been locked with Goldberg. Triple H and Lesnar's road, besides the fact that eventually Brock would want a title match, doesn't seem to be destined to meet. However, Triple H decided to change that. Going into Starrcade, Brock Lesnar was book in a Triple Threat match against Goldberg and Bob Sapp in a Triple Threat Match, with the winner becoming the new Number One Contender, and Triple H gave himself the mission of reminding Brock Lesnar just how little chance he had of winning the match, constantly bullyin and humilliating Lesnar backstage, while Brock was barely able to conrol himself. Fast forward to the nigh after Turning Point PPV. A Battle Royal was being held, with the winner of the match going on to face Triple H for his championship at WrestleBowl. A previously interviewed Triple H, when asked, said Brock Lesnar would choke, as he always does, however, he didn't, as in fact he won the match and became his Number One Contender. From there, these two have played a game of oneupsmenship. Brock Lesnar finally defeated Bob Sapp in one on one action, only to see next week Triple H shadow his victory by pinning Tomko. The word wars have also been very important in this confrontation. HHH's premise has not been changed; "Brock Lesnar doesn't belong on my league", while Brock has limited himself to warn Triple H about the pain that is to come at WrestleBowl for him. This Sunday, there wont be officials or EMTs separating them from a brawl. There will only be one man standing tall, with the BTW World Heavyweight Championship hoisted up high.



Tag Team Match
Special Referee: Ken Shamrock
Goldberg and Randy Couture vs Big Show and Tito Ortiz

For months, the best word to describe Big Show was crazy. He snapped on everything and everyone in front of him, and just as Chris Jericho said, the reason was him being so close, but not recuperating, his BTW Continental Championship. AT Turning Point, Chris Jericho battled Big Show, with the winner getting a Continentental Title Match at WrestleBowl. Big Show oractically had the match won, when no other than Randy Couture walked down the ramp and distracted The Big Show costing him the match. Couture was in the arena as a guest from Goldberg, and Big Show would remember that, as later on that night Big Show attacked Goldberg costing him a match. The seeds were planted for a match, however, Couture and Goldberg refused to destroy Big Show in a Handicap Match, and for his own sake told him to get a tag team partner, who, to the shock of everyone, would turn out to be no other than Tito Ortiz. Big Show and Tito Ortiz applied the antics that broutht them to the game, mixing their own powers with cheatery, including leading their opponents directly into a trap ending in Chokeslams for Goldberg and Couture. The physical and verbal warfare continued, until it forced Crushing C to control it, booking a special guest referee to ontrol this mayhem. That man turn out to be no other than Ken Shamrock, proving his effectiveness when he separated both teams from destorying each other inside a Steel Cage. on Sunday however, will he be able to control the egos, strenghts and personal agendas of everyone in that match?



No Holds Barred
Rikishi vs Crushing C

To truly comprehend the history of this two, you have to go back all the way to Rebellion PPV. Team WWE vs Team BTW was booked as the main event of the evening. Vince Mcmahon had tempted a lot of BTW superstars to jump ship and betray BTW, with the latest one of them being Rikishi. When the match rolled in, Rikishi came down the ramp with a chair with the intention of betraying BTW, however he changed his mind and turn around leaving. However, that was enough to distract Chris jericho, allowing John Cena to give the WWE the win. From that point, and since Rikishi refused to apologize for his actions, Crushing C appointed the mission of punishing Rikishi. People supported hin, however somewhere in between 5 on 1 Handicap Matches, Steel Cage Matches, they started to notice that Rikishi was innocent, and Crushing C was punishing him for punishing sake. This continued into CyberSlam, when they met one on one, with the stipulation being voted by the people that the winner would be fired. Rikishi had the match won, however with the help of AJ Styles, who everyone taught was pulling for Rikishi, Crushing C got the win and fired Rikishi. The samoan was not to be denied however, and he started showing on PPVs, crashing into events and hiding in the office of Crushing C. BTW's owner saw that and questioned the security that Crushing C gave to their events, and so he fired him as well, only to next week have him reinstated, with the condition of giving Rikishi one last match. That match would turn out to be an Unsactioned Match against AJ Styles. Riksihi won the match, impressing everyone, even Crushing C, who surprisignly agreed to give a BTW contract to Rikishi if he defeated Randy Orton. Rikishi did so and finally he was able to recover his work, however, it all turned out to be a planned plot by Crushing C, as he booked a rematch for Turning Point in which Randy Orton didn't even want to compete, he limited himself to punish Rikishi throughout the match, ending with a vicious punt kick to the head causing Rikishi a concussion.

Rikishi would truly see the baddest side of Crushing C, when the GM went to the hospital and he attacked the defenseless Rikishi, and then booked himself in a one on one match with Rikishi at WrestleBowl. But if Rikishi saw the baddest side, we then would see the coward side of Crushing C, with the GM even having Rikishi arrested so that he wouldn't have to fight him. Last week however, Rikishi got the chance to get his hands on Crushing C and give him a little taste as what is to him this Sunday in the No Holds Barred match, when Crushing C got beaten all over his own office. What will happen when the punishing ground of Rikishi extends to the entire arena. and he has Crushing C in front of him, across the ring, with no rules restrictiing him?



Randy Orton vs The Rock

As we said, Randy Orton was responsible for Rikishi's concussion, caused when he punted him right on the head at Turning Point. However, as Randy Orton is supposed to learn prior hand from The Rock on Sunday, blood is thicker than water. Orton bragged week in and week out about his actions, until he got the message that one Rikishi family member had have it with it and was coming next week to confront him. That person would turn out to be no other than The Rock, assuring he would defeat Randy Orton at WrestleBowl, and that he would do it for Rikishi. Randy Orton has send direct messages to The Rock, defeating two times Messiah right in front of The Rock, and has stated his intentions clearly on the microphone, however it is The Rock the one who has send the biggest message, not only running his mouth all over Randy Orton, but by defeating the World Strongest Man one, two, three in his first match since 2004. As The Rock has said, it's not a matter of being funny or clever, it's a matter of being best, and on Sunday, in this match, it would all come out to The Rock revenging RIkishi, or having his career ended by the Legend Killer.



Undertaker vs Montel Vontavious Porter

Undertaker's latest victims have been Muhammed Hassan, Elijah Burke and Orlando Jordan, all sharing something in common: their youth. MVP stood up to them to Crushing C, playing brave and expecting some kind of reward, however what he would get was something he might not be wanting that much, a match against The Undertaker one on one at WrestleBowl, accordingly to the GM, so that MVP himself stood up to the Undertaker. Altough a little hesitant and intimidated at first, MVP finally showed some nerve, altough in a bad way, as using a steel chair he beated The Undertaker, even nailing his Drive By Kick into a steel chair blasting the steel of it directly onto the skull of the Deadman. But from that point, and realizing that he would been exposed to the revenge of the Deadman, MVP has done anything more than one thing:

Run.

MVP has played the game of hide and seek, toying The Undertaker, taunting him, but seeing a reaction from the Demon of Death Valley, he runs away, with his tail tuck between his legs. However, in this match, there is no running place, there's no space for hiding or cowardness. It's MVP and The Undertaker one on one, and only one of them will walk out as the winner.



Edge vs Jeff Hardy

Edge has been on top of the food chain many times before, including here in BTW, where he has been the longest ever BTW World Heavyweight Champion in history. However, for a long time, there has been one young man knocking on the door of greatness, and that man is no other than Jeff Hardy. Hardy won the 2008 King of the Ring, and so he told that he would win the Battle Royal and become Number One Contender going into WrestleBowl. Edge was the one that bring him down to Earth, and told him he had no chance in hell. However, in the Battle Royal Jeff hardy was the last man to be eliminated, and he was the one eliminating Edge. The Rated R Superstar would take exception of that, as he promisef Jeff Hardy he would get rid of him. On that same night, Jeff was arrested, as illegal substances were found on his backpack thanks to an anonimous call alerting the authorities. Jeff has swear he is not responsible, and one would think he isn't, however Edge has made sure to remember all of us Hardy's troubled past. The Rated R did just that last week in his unique Cutting Edge, saying you might hate him, but at least he is a person you can trust in, unlke Hardy. Jeff have had enough and tried to attack Edge defending his honor, however Edge lead him directly into a trap, and lead him directly into a Spear on a ladder. Will the Spear be once again play a fundament roll in this match, or will all the rage trapped inside Jeff Hardy will lead him into getting revenge and beating some respect into Edge?



CM Punk vs Samoa Joe

CM Punk and Samoa Joe have been long time friends, however their reuniting of sorts here in BTW came when Joe wished CM Punk a much needed luck going into a match against Mark Henry, ending with Punk winning the match. Punk would return the favor next week, after Joe defeated Mark Henry congratulating him for his great match. CM Punk and Samoe Joe were back together, stronger than ever, as they showed when teaming up and defeating the BTW Tag champions. However, as the phrase goes, good friends, better enemies, and it would all changed when Joe challenged Joe to a match. Next week, them teaming wasn't the same. The tension was noticeable to everyone in the arena. Last week, we saw however an incredible moment that showed the ability of both men, when CM Punk was able to escape the Coquina Clutch, and Samoa Joe escape from the Anaconda Vice, in the unique Submission Challenge, and now, the question rises, what will any of these two have to do to win this match? And in the end, how will CM Punk and Samoa Joe walk out of this match, as friends, or as bitter enemies?



BTW Continental Championship Match
Christian Cage(c) vs Chris Jericho

As previously stated, Chris Jericho earn this match by defeating Big Show at Turning Point. Chris Jericho and Christian Cage have a lot of history together, and both men would revisit their past and compare egos in a battle of words, when Chris Jericho invited Christian to his Highlight Reel and Cage, next week, invited Chris Jericho to the returning Peepshow. However, from that point, it has all gone physical, with Christian Cage somehow getting the advantage in their contests, mostly tag team matches, my pinning not one, but two times Chris Jericho by connecting effectively the Unprettier. But that in the mind of the reigning champion wasn't enough to secure Cage winning at the PPV, and so he sat at ringside while he enjoyed Elijah Burke destroy the legs of his opponent. Thinking that the night was over, Christian Cage accepted and Open Challenge from Colt Cabana, only to then find himself unable to win and forced to walk oit. But he wouldn't be able to do so, as Chris Jericho walked down the ramp and looking for revenge for all what Christian did on previous weeks, stopped him from running and threw Cage back in the ring and right into a Colt 45. This Sunday, and with the title on the line, what image will we see, will we see Christian knocked out again and Jericho with a smile on his face, or will we see Christian pin for the third time on the row Chris Jericho?



Monster's Ball
Winner gets a BTW Extreme Championship Match at Busted Open
Mr. Kennedy vs AJ Styles vs RVD vs Sabu

At Turning Point, it was AJ Styles the one who pitched this idea as a speciak attraction for WrestleBowl to Crushing C. In the following weeks, all Rob Van Dam, Sabu, Mr. Kennedy and AJ Styles himself secured their spot on this match. In the weeks leading to this match, everyone has had their moment to prove to the world that they might very well be the winner of this match. Sabu defeated Rob Van Dam in one on one action, only to then lose to AJ Styles in a tag team match. AJ would then be last man eliminated in the Battle Royal by Mr. Kennedy. RVD also scored the winning pinfall on the 6man Tag Team match over Elijah Burke. But it is anybody's ballgame, especially when there are no rules to restrict this men and their hardcore instincts. And as previously announced on BTW.com, it all got worse, as the winner of this match will earn himself a BTW Extreme Title match at next PPV. The question is, with the violence we will see in this contest, will the winner even be left standing? Or alive?



Umaga vs Bob Sapp

Since debuting in BTW, Bob Sapp has been the most dominant force in BTW, and that dominance hasn't been stopped by his undefeated streak ending, as his opponent following that have learn the hard way. However, prior to Sapp coming to BTW, there was already a dominant force in BTW.

Umaga.

Both men's path have gone paralell to one another, beating and destroying practically the same opponents in impressive fashion. However, the paths finally crossed when Paul Heyman laid the claim that Bob Sapp was the most dominant person in BTW today, and the samoan took exception to that. As Gavin Spears have been able to find out, both are pretty dangerous, but for the first time ever, one another test first hard the power and dominance of the other, meeting one on one in the ring. Who will walk out as the winner of the match? And will that man be able to finally claim dominance over the entire Born to Wrestle Federation?

[THE Renegade Diesel]

Every match at a big event ever from no on for nothing but pride Jeff will beat edge

English? Here’s the review for the final BTW Nitro.

Over The Top Rope Battle Royale: The eliminations came to fast in the end, but the action, and exchanging between all four men was good. Everyone except RVD has had some momentum going into the match. Kind of makes you think about my earlier prediction.

Joey Styles, and Christian Cage promo: In reference to Comic, he was gone because The Big Show got pissed at Turning Point I believe, and chokeslammed Styles during his number once contenders match for the BTW Continental Championship against Chris Jericho. Styles was bashing Show, not really, but that’s how Big Show thought, and reacted. Anyway, Styles is awesome whoopee! What will happen to Jim Ross though? :sad:

Chris Jericho vs. Elijah Burke: Second best match of the night. Great action, and Cage's commentary was done appropriately. 'nuff said here.

Umaga, and Sapp versus Gavin Spears (lol): You should have had Gavin win . The battle afterwards was telegraphed, and not surprising at all.

Crushing C, and Montel Vontavious Porter: This promo really just made me lol, MVP seemed in character, and I love the Crushing C character as well.

Submission Challenge: Great idea to keep this friendly feud alive, and well. This is pretty awesome, and I liked how it was booked. We saw, well I saw who the heel in the feud clearly was for the first time, and Punk came out strong in the end having a face moment. Great booking CMS.

The Rock Promo: To short to give much feedback IMO.

The Rock vs. Mark Henry: I was wondering who you would put in this match. The way you incorporated Orton's interference without having him touch The Rock is very well written, and this match IMO wasn't a squash at all. I thought Henry was going to win it for a moment, but by the last paragraph I knew Rocky was going to pull out strong. Match of the night honors for me.

Cutting Edge Interrupted by Jeff Hardy: "Ladders get me in the mood" best quote I've seen in awhile from a BTB. The other one was "Baptism of the age of Orton" something along those lines. Anyways, this is an awesome segment, and you played Edge well. But the whole Edge saying the greatest guest on The Cutting Edge is him is getting old. We saw it done in SWA, and here. Jeff coming down to get PWNed is pretty suprising.

Christian Cage vs. Colt Cabunny: Alright match. I guess after Wrestlebowl you will be pushing Colt to the moon, as he is an awesome wrestler, and I'm sure you like him. Colt 45 is an awesome finisher btw.

Randy Orton promo: The promo was really good at first, and really dealt Orton his massive heel-ness, but The Rock attacking him was really unlike himself. I doubt he's ever done that other than his heel programs with Austin, and Foley. To do it to Orton where he is the obvious face is just weird. I disagree with the booking.

Couture versus Ortiz in a MMA Fight: This was really an interesting idea, much like the Submission Challenge except this one never really happened. I thought you would have Couture, and Ortiz get their hands on each other fairly for at least a little bit before Big Show comes in, and 'Berg makes the save. This got the heels over as big time, and Shammarock as special referee ftw! This is going to be kickass.

Montel Vontavious Porter, and Crushing C stand off with The Undertaker, and Rikishi: What can I say. Porters a pussy, and Rikishi, and C will have a slug fest at Wrestlebowl.

The main event, Lesnar, and Triple H in a war of words: Great promo, but the repetitiveness off Triple H saying Lesnar isn't in his league is getting pretty annoying. The brawl at the end was good, and the metaphors you were using were good to. A few grammar mistakes here, and there but who cares. This is big time, and this match will be awesome. Is still think Triple H is winning it though. I don't see Lesnar as champion just yet. As a matter of fact I think he won't win the belt. I have a feeling when Goldberg wins he sky rockets into the main event, and they have a triple threat at Busted Open, and Berg wins the belt off Triple H. That’s just wishful thinking though. Promo of the night honors here.

Additional Comments: Great show, and I said all there is to say. I can't wait for Wrestlebowl, and I already have my predictions up.

 

[OWeapon]

BTW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H(c) vs Brock Lesnar
Lesnar has been working hard for that title, and also a heel win for what I'm guessing is the main event for THE ppv of your BTB wouldn't go down well, methinks.

I never really liked Goldberg...

Randy Orton isn't the Legend Killer if he doesn't kill legends...

Because Joe is gonna kill CM Punk, and that's something I like.

Jericho does not take getting pinned twice in a row lightly, let alone 3 times...

Extreme championship opportunity...RVD or Sabu...I'll go RVD.




No Holds Barred
Rikishi vs Crushing C
Let's have a little ass shaking in Crushing C's face!

Bob Sapp vs Umaga

He is probably going to get a push to the top in the next few months.

[y2j__legend]

BTW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H(c) vs Brock Lesnar
HHH only won the title a couple of months ago, so I think that he will hold on to the title for the time being.

Special Guest Referee: Ken Shamrock
Goldberg and Randy Couture vs Big Show and Tito Ortiz
Not really a big fan of Goldberg but I see him coming out the victor with Couture in this match.

The Undertaker vs MVP
The Undertaker never loses at a company's big event as previously mentioned, and since this is your equivalent of Wrestlemania, I am going with Taker.

Randy Orton vs The Rock
A win would do heaps for Orton, and I don't think that this will be the last time we see the Rock, so I'm going with Orton on this one.

CM Punk vs Samoa Joe
I am 50/50 on this one, but since I am more familiar with Punk and I know that you are a Punk mark, the 'Straight Edge Superstar' gets my vote.

BTW Continental Title Match
Christian Cage(c) vs Chris Jericho
Please?

Monster's Ball
Sabu vs Rob Van Dam vs AJ Styles vs Mr. Kennedy
For me it is a toss up between RVD and Sabu as they are the most extreme and it is for a chance at the Extreme Championship, and as you saw on m last Raw, I am an RVD mark .

No Holds Barred
Rikishi vs Crushing C
Feel good moment for the crowd with Rikishi going over Crushing C, getting some revenge and (hopefully) ending what has been a very long but exciing feud.

Edge vs Jeff Hardy
After your reaction to what happened at Armageddon, there is NO WAY that Jeff is going over.

Bob Sapp vs Umaga
I am more familiar with Umaga, so I see him going over, pure and simple.

Shaping up to be one hell of a show CMS, can't wait for it. I will give a review once it is up.

 

[Qwake]

BTW World Heavyweight Championship Match
Triple H(c) vs Brock Lesnar

Brock has been build up for this nicely and him winning on your biggest PPV of the year will make the win and PPV much better imo. It should be a brutal match and its definitely brought alot of hype! Brock for Champ.

Special Guest Referee: Ken Shamrock
Goldberg and Randy Couture vs Big Show and Tito Ortiz

I am not sure how this will end, I think Goldberg and Couture will pick up the win somehow. Interesting to see two MMA fighters in here though, should be good.

The Undertaker vs MVP

This should elevate MVPs career and since wrestlebowl isn't wrestlemania I think Taker has a chance of losing lol. This should be another good match and it could go either way but I am gonna guess MVP, should definitely boost him near the Main Event level.

Randy Orton vs The Rock

Really hard choose out of these two, I am going to guess that the Rock will get the win. Even though Randy is the legend killer I see Rocky somehow getting the victory. Looks to be yet another great match lol.

CM Punk vs Samoa Joe

These two have had some epic matches in real life and also in other BTBs, I don't think I have seen these to in a match written by you before so it will be good to see what you can do with these to in the ring. I'll back Joe since he seems more dominant.

BTW Continental Title Match
Christian Cage(c) vs Chris Jericho

These two have also had some great matches in real life and in other BTBs, they mix well in the ring too which makes for a good match. I think Cage will retain somehow, I enjoyed your promos between the two building up for this PPV so hopefully the feud doesn't end here. Looking forward to this match the alot.

Monster's Ball
Sabu vs Rob Van Dam vs AJ Styles vs Mr Kennedy

I am clueless as to who will win this one, I want Mr Kennedy to get the W but I think RVD might come away with it since he's more suited for Hardcore matches and Sabu doesn't seem like the guy to push. RVD ftw.

No Holds Barred
Rikishi vs Crushing C

Rikishi gets a little payback imo. This could be quite good, might be an interuption from a few other guys though since its NHB.


Edge vs Jeff Hardy

I think a clean win over Edge would send Jeff right up to the main event spot or close to it. Even though your an edge mark you still might give Hardy the win over him imo. Should be good.


Bob Sapp vs Umaga

To big men in one ring always leads to something crazy lol. I am a fan of Umaga so I hope he wins the match but Bob Sapp has been on a huge roll in BTW so I am not sure about this one. I'll take Umaga since he's awesome.

Looks to be a HUGE PPV cms, there are alot of matches all of which look good and make me interested. I'll try make spare time to read this because it should be a great show!

 

[rosewt01]

BTW World Heavyweight Championship Match

[The Rated R CMStar]

The cameras welcome us to the Ford Field, as they start going through the crowd. The fans in attendance go wild with their cheers, shaking the entire structure of the Ford Field with their enthusiastic roar. The design of the set consists on a stage lightening element of 300 ft in width and 100 ft in height, leading to a 187 ft long ramp. It incorporated 414 LED video screens and automated lights, 10 spotlights, 56 searchlights and 35 stage flamethrowers. We see Jeremy Borash standing right in the middle of the squared circle.

Borash: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to WrestleBowl!!!

Crowd erupts.

Borash: And now, here to sing “America The Beautiful”, singer-songwriter Ne-Yo!


Ne-Yo: O beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.

O beautiful, for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!

O beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!

O beautiful, for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

“Born to be Wild” by Steppenwolf plays as pyrotechnics explode in all their glory in their stage, first in white, red and blue in honor of the United States’ flag, and then they continue exploiting in a rainbow of colors, coming out from the stage, going across the arena and ending on a circular-like structure on top of the ring. The crowd cheers heavily during all of this and hoist their signs up high. The camera finally takes us to the announce table, where we see Joey Styles, John Bradshaw Layfield and Jim Ross.

Styles: Ladies and Gentlemen, straight to you from the Motor City, we welcome you to WrestleBowl! Alongside JBL and Jim Ross, Joey Styles here, and on a personal note, it’s good to be back.

JR: It’s good to have you back indeed Joey, and I guarantee you, not only you will be feeling good when this night is over. An amazing night, amazing atmosphere, it all falls in place for one hell of a night.

JBL: Damn right about that. Lights are on bright and they will never get brighter, this fans will never cheer louder, gentlemen, let’s dance!

JR: Tonight, we have, for the first time ever, and for the BTW World Heavyweight Championship, Brock Lesnar will have to play The Game, when he goes one on one with the champion, Triple H.

JBL: And how about this one boys, the legend of The Rock might get killed here tonight, by Randy Orton.

Styles: But nothing gets more personal than this. An entire year in the making, Rikishi finally gets Crushing C in that ring, and it’s No Holds Barred.

JR: And there’s many, many more here tonight. We’re glad you join us in a night in which history, is sure to be written.


“Get Back” plays to a huge amount of boos from the Detroit fans. Bob Sapp steps out into the stage, and with an imposing look on his face, he looks around the arena. Paul Heyman comes out as well and joins him. Sapp flexes his pectorals as Heyman points at him and screams his lungs out praising his client. Finally, both men walk down the ramp, Bob Sapp ignoring the fans on his way down. Heyman stops on ringside as Bob Sapp enters the ring and stands in the middle ring, lifting both his arms taunting to the crowd.

JR: And what a better way to start off this night in what promises to be an all out war all in search for domination.

Styles: We have seen Bob Sapp run wild all over BTW since his debut, since day one, but not ever since he has been in the ring with someone who matches his power quite like the samoan Bulldozer does.

JBL: This might end up being bowling shoe ugly, but I guarantee you, it will be damn sure be smash mouth wrestling and a complete warfare.


“Virtual Voodoo” plays to a mixed reaction from the audience as Umaga rampages out from the back. Umaga is sporting new trunks, decorated with a samoan tribal design in green and red. Umaga looks already fired up and ready to go as he wildly walks down the ramp, up the steps and enters the ring, where he crosses eyes with Bob Sapp. The referee rings the bell.

Umaga and Bob Sapp stare at each other from different sides of the ring. Bob Sapp doesn’t move a muscle, he just remains standing on the same place looking at Umaga with a mean look on his face. Umaga looks right back at him, and as if were examinating Sapp, Umaga tilts his head mildly to the right, then he shows his teeth trying to intimidate Bob Sapp. It is to no avail though, as Bob Sapp steps right toward him and returning the taunt he flexes his muscles, showing his amazing muscular structure. Umaga returns the taunt lifting his arms up in the air and screams “Samoa” right on the face of Bob Sapp. Hell finally breaks loose as Bob Sapp and Umaga start trading punches. The slugfest continues as both men exchange straight right after straight hand. Bob Sapp starts getting the advantage as slowly his punches find themselves without response from the samoan. Sapp continues connecting straight right hands directly to the face of his opponent, staggering Umaga backwards. Sapp taunts for one final punch, however before he is able to nail it, Umaga reacts first and levels Bob Sapp with a knife edge uppercut right to the throat of his opponent. Umaga grabs his opponent by the arm and he tries to Irish Whip him toward the ring ropes, however Sapp reverses and instead he is the one who sends the samoan toward the ropes. The samoan Bulldozer bounces back and comes towards Bob Sapp, who shows his power by receiving him and connecting a spinning sideslam. Bob makes the cover: 1…2…, Umaga is able to get one shoulder up. Paul Heyman goes berserk on the outside of the ring, loudly screaming at the referee for not ending the match right there. Bob Sapp grabs Umaga by his dreadlocks and pulls him up to a standing position. Bob keeps Umaga grabbed by the dreadlocks with his left hand and he uses his right hand to inflict punishment, as he nails punches right to the jaw of the samoan, however Bob Sapp forgets the fact that the samoan Bulldozer has his two hands free, and so Umaga is able to shove Bob Sapp away. Bob gets himself together and steps toward his opponent, however Umaga receives him with a Savate kick right to the face. Bob Sapp staggers backwards toward the ring ropes, then loses his balance and fall to the outside of the ring going through the top and middle ring ropes. Paul Heyman rushes toward his client surrounding the ring. Heyman finally reaches Bob, but Sapp gets back to his first and he shoves Heyman away, not wanting anything else than to fight Umaga.

Sapp climbs to the apron trying to return to the ring, however Umaga advances toward him and stops him doing so by connecting a series of clubs to the back. Sapp tries to stagger Umaga away as he answers back the samoan’s aggression with a jab right to the middle section, which effectively causes Umaga to stagger backwards. Bob Sapp tries to enter the ring going in between the top and middle rope, however Umaga sees him coming and neutralizes him with a front kick directly to the sternum of the bended Bob Sapp. Bob indeed returns to the inside of the ring, collapsed and down to the cavas. Umaga grabs Sapp and he sets him getting him ready, with his legs toward the inside of the ring and his head close to the ring ropes. Umaga walks toward him and stands right next to him on his left. The samoan grabs the top rope, then uses it to pull himself up and then land right on top of Bob Sapp connecting a seated senton. Umaga gets back to his standing position and not releasing the top rope he repeats the punishment, pulling himself back up in the air and landing on Bob Sapp with another senton, draining the air right out of the body of his opponent. Paul Heyman on the outside of the ring tries to cheer for Bob Sapp and motivate him into recovering. Umaga goes to repeat the attack, as he pulls himself up in the air and looks to connect another seated senton, however this time and right on the nick of time Bob Sapp is able to roll out of the way making his opponent land over his behind missing the maneuver and hurting himself in the process. Bob Sapp crawls away from his opponent, then gets back to his feet. Paul Heyman encourages him on starting his own offense. Bob Sapp dashes to the ring ropes behind him, then bounces back and nails a Big Boot directly to the back of the beck of Umaga. Sapp makes the cover: 1…2…, Umaga is able to get one shoulder up. Bob Sapp gets back to his feet and like that he is in back in the driver’s seat. Bob pulls him back to a standing position, then he grabs him by the throat with his two hands. The crowd awaits on awe to what Bob is about to do. Bob turns around to the center of the ring, then he Chokebombs him down to the canvas. Bob Sapp stands alone in the middle of the ring and he raises his hands up in the air taunting to the crowd, getting a lot of boos from the audience. He thereby announces the end of the match. Bob walks toward the corner and he climbs to the top rope, then looks down to the samoan Bulldozer measuring his target.

Bob Sapp flies through the airs and lands right over Umaga effectively connecting his Sapp Splash. Bob Sapp remains on top of his opponent and hooks a leg making the cover: 1…2…, Umaga is somehow able to kick out from the Sapp Splash! Bob Sapp looks up to the referee, not angry, but perplexed, and looking an explanation from the referee himself. He then looks to the outside of the ring to Paul Heyman, who looks as confused as he is. Paul however decides on the next maneuver to do and he tells Bob Sapp to do it again. Bob looks at him confused at what he is saying but Heyman repeats him that he needs to hit the Sapp Splash again. Bob nods showing he understands and he walks toward the corner and gets to the top rope, looking to hit the second consecutive Sapp Splash. This time however he won’t be able to connect it, as Umaga shows his own resilience as he gets back to his feet and storms toward the corner Sapp is climbed on top off, grabs him by the shoulder and groin and just throws him down from the top rope to the canvas. Bob grabs his lower back as he gets back to his feet. He turns around to face Umaga, however what he faces is the foot of the samoan Bulldozer, which goes directly into his face as Umaga storms toward him and to the awe of the crowd he connects him with a spinning heel kick. Umaga gets back to his feet and he looks down to Bob Sapp. He remains staring at him for a couple of seconds with that weird look on his face, the same look a predator on his eyes right before killing his prey. Umaga finally walks toward his opponent and gets him back to his feet, then not releasing the arm he grabbed him by, Umaga Irish Whips Bob Sapp toward the corner. Sapp impacts the turnbuckles spine first and he lets a short growl of pain out as a result. Umaga takes impulse walking backwards toward the opposite corner, until he finally explodes full speed toward his cornered proverbial prey and squashes him between his humanity and the corner with a Running Full Body Block. Bob Sapp takes his hand to his middle section holding it pain. Bob then slowly staggers from the corner walking right into Umaga, who receives him with a front waistlock and connects him with a Side Belly-to-Belly suplex. Bob Sapp has his entire torso in pain, as Umaga has targeted both the middle section and the spine of his opponent. Umaga walks toward the closest corner to Bob Sapp and he climbs to the second rope, turning his back to the inside of the ring.



Umaga balances himself on the ring rope testing its resilience. It seems as if he is going back to his strategy of earlier in the match in which he punished the chest and gut of Bob Sapp with seated sentons. And that is exactly what he does, as he lets himself drop from the second rope and lands right on top of the chest of Bob Sapp connecting a brutal Banzai Drop. Umaga gets back to a standing position and drags Bob Sapp by the leg back to the middle of the squared circle. Paul Heyman screams at Bob Sapp from the outside trying to motivate him into recovery. Surprisingly, Umaga doesn’t go for a cover. Instead, he dashes to the ring ropes on his right, comes right back and nails Bob Sapp with a diving headbutt right to the middle section. Umaga then makes the cover: 1…2…, Bob Sapp shows his own ability to take punishment as he gets one shoulder up. He didn’t kick out though, showing that Umaga’s offense has indeed drained energy and momentum off from him. Umaga gets back to his feet and brings Sapp up with him. He seems determined on ending Bob Sapp off. First, he weakens Sapp even further with a toe kick to the middle section, then he picks Bob Sapp up, sets him and connects Sapp with a Black Hole Slam ,letting Umaga show he won’t let Bob Sapp’s back take a rest neither. Umaga makes the cover: 1…2…, Bob Sapp is able to get one shoulder up. Umaga gets back to his feet and he looks everywhere, around the arena, as if looking for indication or guidance on what to do next. His opposition knows what to do indeed, as Paul Heyman climbs to the apron wanting to get into the match. The referee doesn’t let any of that happen and he walks toward him, turning his back to the inside of the ring and starts fighting with him keeping him away from the ring. All of this allows Bob Sapp cheap shot a distracted Umaga with a low blow. Umaga bends in pain, as even monsters feel the pain of a low blow in their noble parts. Bob Sapp picks him up and connects him with a Big Standing Spinebuster. Bob collapses next to Umaga not able to immediately capitalize. Paul Heyman sees that his client has recovered the control of that match and as if nothing had happened he climbs down to the apron. The referee returns his focus to the match, not finding about what Bob Sapp did. Sapp slowly gets back to his feet pulling himself up using the ring ropes. Sapp crawls toward the corner and he climbs to the second rope, where he waits for the samoan Bulldozer to get back to his standing position.

Umaga gets back to his feet and he turns around facing the corner where Bob Sapp is waiting for him. Sapp comes down from the ropes and to the applause from the crowd, surprise to what Bob just did, connects a Front Dropkick right to the chest of the samoan, knocking him down to the canvas. Sapp crawls toward his opponent and makes the cover: 1…2…, Umaga kicks out keeping this match for dominance going. Bob Sapp gets up to one knee first before getting fully back to his vertical standing. He grabs Umaga by the hair and pulls him back to a standing position, then as fast as he did so he drops him back to the canvas connecting a second Standing Spinebuster. Right after he does so, Bob Sapp takes his hand to the lower back resenting the punishment on the lower back, and we can see him breathing more heavily than usual, and coughing every now and then, maybe showing signals of internal injury produced by the targeting his gut has suffered from the samoan Bulldozer. Bob Sapp grabs Umaga and he goes to slow down the pace of the match locking in a Japanese Sleeper hold, however before he is able to do so, and to a pop from the now polarized crowd, Umaga overpowers Bob Sapp pulling him by the arms, flipping him on the air over his head and right down to the canvas. Umaga gets back to his feet and going to take advantage of this new opening he dashes toward the ring ropes. However, as he is going to bounce back, Paul Heyman from the outside grabs his right foot stopping him from doing so. Umaga turns around and stares daggers at Heyman, who cowardly refuses any confrontation backing down. But this has allowed Bob Sapp to shake off the cobwebs and get back to their feet. Umaga turns around to continue his offense in the match, inadvertadly walking into a huge lariat by Bob Sapp that turns the samoan inside out making him flip in the air doing a 360. Bob Sapp, to boos from the audience, has finally gotten the control of the match back. He walks toward the corner taunting his opponent, then he finally explodes toward his opponent looking to connect a Falling Kneedrop to the face of his opponent, however Umaga sits up letting his opponent miss the maneuver. Both get back to their feet, and as they walk toward one another, Umaga nails Sapp with an uppercut right to the throat neutralizing him and sending him down to the canvas. Umaga looks around and then to his floored opponent, and announcing the end he lifts his right hand up in the air with his thumb stuck out.

Bob Sapp slowly gets back to his feet, giving his back to his opponent. Paul Heyman tries to alert him from the outside of the ring. Sapp turns around and walks right into the samoan Bulldozer, who secures him and goes to nail the samoan Spike. Paul Heyman goes for the last resort and he climbs yet again for the apron, however this time the monster is the one who sees him first and not the referee. Umaga waits for no excuses and he rampages on Heyman as he nails him with a swift Samoan Spike, knocking him down of the apron. But yet again this match, Heyman’s interference has cut a break for his client. Umaga turns around right into a short flying forearm to the face, which only leaves him groggy, but doesn’t knock the Bulldozer down to the canvas. However it is what Bob Sapp needed. Sapp nails Umaga with a toe kick to the middle section and then sets him in position. Bob turns so that he is facing the center of the squared circle. Sapp overcomes the weight of his opponent and his own torso pain as he lifts Umaga over his head and suddenly drops him down to the canvas connecting effectively his Sapp Bomb. Bob Sapp makes the cover: 1…2…3.

Result: Bob Sapp defeats Umaga


Styles: And that’s it! Bob Sapp has won the first match in WrestleBowl history.

JR: This is disgusting. The only thing Heyman didn’t do in that match to assure the win for Sapp eas wrestle himself.

JBL: The end justifies the means JR, and the bottom line is that Bob Sapp is the winner.

Styles: Well I agree with JR. I don’t like it one bit.

JBL: Big deal. I am sure Bob Sapp and Paul Heyman are holding their breaths for you to change your minds about them.

Styles: At least Heyman got what he deserved


Bob Sapp celebrates in the middle of the ring to a lot of boos from the audience as the referee raises his hand announcing him the winner.


We go backstage and we see Leticia Cline.

Cline: We are just moments away from the Monster’s Ball match…

Crowd pops heavily.

Cline: Four men will compete in an all out hardcore extravaganza. No disqualifications, no count outs, and the winner of that match is going to be…

Kennedy: Is going to be the man who challenges Montel Vontavious Porter for the BTW Extreme Championship at Busted Open, am I right?

Mr. Kennedy has walked into the scene and is right next to Leticia Cline.

Cline: Yes, that is correct. The winner of tonight’s Monster’s Ball match will become the new Number One Contender for the BTW Extreme Championship.

Kennedy: Oh come on? Match? Monster’s Ball match? This is all charade, a technicality, because it doesn’t matter how many people bleed, go through tables, get hit with steel chairs, in the end, there’s only one man in that so called match who has a chance of leaving WrestleBowl the winner and new Number One Contender, and that man is Miiiisteeeeeeeeeeeer Keeeeneeeeeedy!!!...

Mr. Kennedy walks out of the scene.

Cline: Back to you guys.

Kennedy: (appears back in the scene and right on the face of Leticia Cline): KEEEEENEEEEEEDY!!!

Mr. Kennedy walks out of the scene. Leticia Cline laughs as the scene gets taken back to the announce team.


Styles: And Mr. Kennedy put it best, it doesn’t matter how many blood is poured, how many chairs get swing, how many tables are broken, only one man can walk out as the winner of the match and new Number One Contender.

JBL: And like you said Joey, Mr. Kennedy said it best, he’s going to be the one walking out as the champion.

JR: I wouldn’t be too sure about that. I think this will anybody’s ball game.

Styles: An extreme ballgame.


“Arabian Beat” plays to cheers from the audience as Sabu steps out from the curtain into the stage. On the stage, he lifts his arm doing his classic Magician of Arabia taunt. Sabu walks down the ramp. The fans at front row try to touch Sabu but Sabu turns them down. Sabu slides to the ring and in the middle of the ring he repeats the Magician of Arabia taunt.


“Phenomenal” plays as AJ Styles steps out after a wall of pyro, covered with a brand new black and gold hoodie. AJ takes out the hood revealing a huge grin in his face, reflecting his arrogance going into this match. Styles walks down the ramp with flamboyance and arrogance. He slides into the ring and climbs to the top rope, where he taunts to the audience extending his arms.

Styles: And he is in my opinion the dark horse going into this match, AJ Styles.

JR: AJ can do things in this ring that nobody else can.


“One of a Kind” plays to a huge ovation from the Motor City fans as Rob Van Dam makes his way out from the back. RVD seems fired up and the reception he gets on his way out only makes his face gets enlighten by a bigger smile. Van Dam points at himself as the fans chant his initials. Rob walks down the ramp and the high fives the fans before he enters the ring.

Styles: And the background I share with this man make me say, he is my favorite in this match.


“Turn up the Trouble” plays to boos from the audience as the last piece missing of the puzzle, Mr. Kennedy, walks out from the back into the ramp. Kennedy walks brashly down the ramp and enters the ring. Kennedy stares at all his opponent, who are in a corner each, as he stands in the middle of the squared circle and lifts his hand taunting for the microphone.

JBL: This is great guys. Check this out.


Kennedy asks for the microphone, which slowly lowers down into his hand.

Kennedy: Introducing the win…


Before Kennedy continues his introduction, Rob Van Dam storms toward him and starts mauling connecting straight right hands. The referee rings the bell.

Van Dam continues his assault on Mr. Kennedy. AJ Styles, from his corner, stares at the action happening right in front of him, however quickly Sabu makes him a part of the same as he advances toward him and starts connecting him with straight right hands. Van Dam has been able to floor his opponent. RVD sees the microphone still hanging over them. RVD grabs it, and mercilessly smashes it right on the forehead of Kennedy. Van Dam seems to have liked what he just did and continues smashing the metallic microphone on the forehead of his opponent. Sabu has AJ Styles groggy against the ring ropes. Sabu steps back and then storms toward AJ connecting him with a crossbody splash sending both AJ Styles and himself over the top rope and to the outside of the ring. In the inside and right in the middle of the squared circle, Van Dam continues punishing Kennedy with the microphone, in a cruel twist of irony. Rob Van Dam finally finishes smashing the microphone on the forehead of his opponent, but that doesn’t mean that he stops using it to punish Ken Kennedy, as now he uses the cord holding the mic to choke the life out of Kennedy. Kennedy struggles from air, however it is to no avail, as Van Dam has the cord completely wrapped around the throat of Mr. Kennedy. On the outside, AJ Styles has been able to turn the tide and has Sabu under control, smashing his head repeatedly against the guard rail. AJ grabs the arm of Sabu and Irish Whips him toward the steel steps, against the which Sabu clashes knees first and brutally rolls over them. AJ stares at Sabu waiting for him to get back to his feet. Sabu starts finally doing so. AJ immediately climbs to the guard rail and runs over it. He finally reaches the spot where Sabu is and AJ Styles, not slowing down his dash, jumps down from the guard rail and lands right over Sabu with his legs around the head of Sabu, performing a Hurricanrana and hurling Sabu over the announcing table and right over Jim Ross, JBL and Joey Styles. AJ Styles gets back to his feet and taunts to the crowd, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd, who normally boos them, but are impressed with what he just did. Styles climbs back to the apron going to return to the inside of the ring. Rob Van Dam notices this and he finally lets Mr. Kennedy go and advances toward AJ Styles. Styles tries to attack him first with a tackle to the middle section, however RVD reacts first and puts his knee in front, letting AJ hurt himself as he tackles Van Dam’s knee. Sabu on the outside starts pulling himself back to his feet using the guard rail.

RVD has AJ groggy, which allows him to sunset flip over the top rope and bring AJ Styles down with him connecting a vicious powerbomb from the apron all the way down to the concrete floor on the outside of the ring. AJ Styles immediately takes his hands to the back of his neck with a grin of pain on his face, while Rob Van Dam tries to get himself back together by crawling away from the Phenomenal One. Mr. Kennedy on the inside of the ring crawls to the outside of the ring leaving the squared circle by the opposite side in which Van Dam and AJ Styles are lying on the outside of. Kennedy looks under the ring and he brings out the first weapon into the match, as he brings out first a trash can, the trash lid of the previous one, and then he throws a baseball bat, which gets a little pop from the crowd. Van Dam pulls himself back to a standing position using the apron and returns to the inside of the ring. There he gets back to his feet but before he is able to go any further or do anything else, Mr. Kennedy blasts RVD right on the head using the trash can lid, knocking him down to the canvas. Ken Kennedy starts his revenge on Van Dam for choking him with the microphone cord as he unleashes his aggression by repeatedly smashing the trash can lid all over the humanity of his opponent. On the outside of the ring, Sabu has been able to get completely back to his senses and feet. He shoves Joey Styles away and climbs to the announcing table. AJ Styles, still grabbing his neck, returns to a standing position. Sabu immediately launches himself from the announcing table and connects AJ with a front dropkick connecting right on the chest of Styles, and shoving AJ all the way against the apron, causing AJ Styles to punish his lower back due to the clash. Sabu gets back to his feet and walks toward the time keeper. The time keeper immediately gets up and walks away, letting Sabu grab the steel chair he was sitting in. Sabu, holding the steel chair, walks toward AJ Styles, and without any hesitation he blasts AJ Styles right on the head, knocking him down and getting him out of the way. Sabu slides to the inside of the ring and walks toward Mr. Kennedy, presumably to attack Kennedy with the steel chair, however he gets the RVD treatment as Mr. Kennedy receives him with a shot right to the skull using the trash can lid. This allows Kennedy to eliminate the distraction Sabu is and refocus on his attack over RVD. Kennedy walks to his left and he grabs the trash can. He then walks back toward Van Dam. Ken holds the trash can with his left hand while he incorporates Van Dam using his right hand, and he puts RVD’s head and most of his torso inside of the trash can. Kennedy then drops Van Dam back to the canvas. Kennedy looks behind him, bends and picks up the baseball bat.

The crowd roars in excitement as they foresee what Mr. Kennedy is about to do. Kennedy hoists the baseball bat up high, and he finally starts smashing it over the trash can that has Van Dam inside it. The crowd breaks a “Holy Shit” chant, as the trash can starts bending under the shots of Kennedy using the bat. The features of Van Dam are each time more distinguishable under the steel of the garbage can, thanks to the aggression of Mr. Kennedy with the baseball bat. Kennedy finally has enough and he throws the baseball bat away. He turns around for just a quick fraction of second, but that is enough for Sabu, who was waiting patiently behind him, to throw Kennedy the steel chair and smash it right on the skull, knocking Kennedy down to the mat. Sabu grabs the chair and he sets it close to the head of Mr. Kennedy. He looks around the arena then and does his Magician of Arabia taunt. Sabu dashes to the ring ropes in front of him, bounces back, goes toward the steel chair, jumps on it towards the ring ropes, and from there he springboards landing a moonsault right on Mr. Kennedy. Sabu gets back to his feet and does once again the Magician of Arabia taunt. He turns his attention to RVD, who is moving and trying to get back to his feet. Sabu stops those attempts kicking RVD right on the head. Sabu then goes to repeat the punishment, this time on RVD. As he sets the chair close to Rob’s head. Not exactly above it, but a little to its left. Sabu dashes again toward the ring ropes, bounces back going toward the steel chair to leap on it, however Van Dam shows that he was playing possum and he grabs the right leg of Sabu in mid air, knocking Sabu head first into the steel chair, getting the awe of the crowd. Rob Van Dam crawls toward his opponent and he makes the cover on Sabu: 1…2…, out of nowhere AJ Styles lands over the pinfall situation breaking it. AJ Styles nailed a springboard leg drop to do so. Mr. Kennedy, still punished, rolls to the outside of the ring and again, since nobody noticed him, he starts looking for something under the ring. The crowd roars in excitement as they noticed that what Mr. Kennedy brought out was a steel chair wrapped in barbwire. Kennedy remains on the outside of the ring for a while, waiting for the correct opening to appear. AJ Styles on the inside of the ring meanwhile grabs the steel chair already present on it, and he uses it to level Rob Van Dam right on the head, knocking him down to the canvas.

AJ Styles goes to attack the floored Sabu, however before he does so Mr. Kennedy nails him right on the back with the barbwired steel chair. The camera zooms on the back of AJ Styles revealing that the flesh has been ripped right off and blood is already pouring down. AJ bends in pain, allowing Kennedy to smash the chair again right on AJ’s back. Sabu takes advantage of the break Kennedy’s attack gave him, and not leaving the ring he stretches and stretches so that he can get something from under the ring. He manages to do so as he gets from under the ring a fire extinguisher. Kennedy finishes AJ Styles off as he, to a big awe from the crowd, he connects his opponent with the barbwire steel chair right on the face , knocking him down to the canvas. Blood starts pouring down his face and covering his facial expressions. Kennedy turns around to attack Sabu, however as he does so Sabu triggers the fire extinguisher and expulses the content right on the face of Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy is blinded as a result of this, and he walks right into the recovered Rob Van Dam, who connects him with a superkick right to the jaw. Rob Van Dam taunts to the crowd, then he looks around the ring and notices that standing in the squared circle are only his longtime friend and enemy, Sabu. Rob Van Dam and Sabu walk closer to each other and get face to face. Both men trade words. Van Dam looks down and points at the extinguisher Sabu is still carrying. They finally shake hands and Van Dam tells him to bring it on. Sabu immediately goes to take Van Dam’s head off with the fire extinguisher, but luckily RVD ducks avoiding it. Sabu attempts so once again, however RVD ducks this time, however on this occasion the shot was so close than Rob Van Dam fells down to the canvas. Sabu has Rob Van Dam right where he wants to and hoists his weapon up high, then is about to punish RVD with it, when out of nowhere Van Dam turns around, revealing he had the baseball bat on his right hand and uses it to blast it right on the kneecap of Sabu, bringing him down. RVD gets back to his feet and he notices that he is left alone standing in the ring. However that is not for long, as RVD rolls to the outside of the ring and to keep the violence level of this match high, he starts looking for weapons under the ring. The referee takes advantage of this impasse in the match to check the state of AJ Styles, who is bleeding heavily. RVD takes out from under the ring a toolbox and a metal thing the camera cannot capture from that far away. The camera zooms on it and reveals it to be a fork.

RVD rolls back to the inside of the ring. He plays to the crowd pointing to all his three floored opponents and asking the fans who he attacks first. The answer is almost unanimous: the bleeding AJ Styles. Van Dam opens the toolbox and out of it he takes a screwdriver. Rob Van Dam walks toward him, then bends down to his knees and without thinking it much, he just incrusts the screwdriver on the flesh of his opponent, causing more blood to pour out. Van Dam hoists the screwdriver up high after he’s done with it taunting to the crowd and showing it to them and how the weapon is covered in blood. Van Dam throws the screwdriver away, gets back to his feet and then he walks toward the toolbox. Van Dam regrets it however, changes his mind and instead he picks up the fork. The crowd cheers as he walks toward Sabu. Sabu tries to protect from Van Dam, however RVD is on a different zone right now and he just inserts the fork right on the flesh of his opponent. That isn’t all however, as then Van Dam becomes even more aggressive with the fork and he practically stabs Sabu on the face, as he inserts, takes out, and inserts again, the fork on the forehead of Sabu. Blood floods the face of Sabu making him wear the proverbial crimson mask. Van Dam finally considers he has had enough and he throws the fork away. There’s only one opponent left to get some punishment from Van Dam: Mr. Kennedy.

AJ Styles, in the unconscious state that he is, rolls out of the ring and fells on the outside of the ring, still not showing any signals of life. Van Dam walks toward the toolbox again and opens it looking for a weapon, however he says “screw it” and grabs the entire toolbox, going to use it as a whole as a weapon. Kennedy uses the ring ropes to pull himself back to a standing position. He then turns around facing RVD. Van Dam immediately storms toward him trying to blast the toolbox on the skull of Mr. Kennedy, however Kennedy reacts first and drop toeholds Van Dam down to the canvas, causing RVD to fell to the canvas and impact his face against the metal of the toolbox. This results in a little gash near the hairline of RVD. Kennedy slowly gets back to his feet. He looks around the ring and to his opponents, and Kennedy smiles realizing he is the only one who is not bleeding. Mr. Kennedy picks up the toolbox from under the face of Rob Van Dam. Ken Kennedy opens it and he takes out a saw out of it. Mr. Kennedy walks toward Rob Van Dam with saw in hand. RVD tries to put his hands on the way and cover his face, however it is to no avail as that doesn’t stop Mr. Kennedy from grabbing the saw and literally sawing the forehead of RVD. Kennedy, with a deranged look on his face, screams at RVD “this is how you do it!” Blood remains on the teeth of the saw, as it pours down heavily from the face of Van Dam. Mr. Kennedy gets back to his feet and he pulls RVD back to his feet as well by his ponytail. Kennedy then throws RVD toward the corner, leaving him groggy against the turnbuckle. Kennedy takes his weapon of choice and he saws the strings of Van Dam’s singlet, cutting it down, and exposing the chest of RVD. Kennedy grabs then the saw with his right hand in a way that puts the saw’s teeth in front, and making the crowd gasp in fear, Mr. Kennedy hits a knife edge chop on the chest of Van Dam using the saw, ripping out the flesh of RVD’s chest. Meanwhile, on the outside of the ring no other than AJ Styles takes from under the ring a huge, 16ft ladder. Inside the ring, and right next to Mr. Kennedy, Sabu starts recovering and tries to get back to a standing position, however Kennedy quickly puts a stop to his attempts as he walks toward him and hits him with a direct shot to the face, right between the eyes, of the saw, putting it in a vertical position. Kennedy turns around and continues attacking Van Dam, going back to his initial sawing the forehead of RVD. AJ has apparently been able to shake off his cobwebs as he slides back to the inside of the ring, throwing before him the huge ladder.

AJ knows best and he stays behind Mr. Kennedy, on the opposite corner, waiting for the right opening. Mr. Kennedy throws the saw to the outside of the ring and drops Van Dam down to the canvas, where he makes the cover: 1…2…, AJ steps into the action and smashes the lower back of Mr. Kennedy using the ladder, breaking the pinfall. AJ drops the ladder to his left and picks Mr. Kennedy up. Van Dam, a bloodied pulp, but still breathing, tries to escape his opponents, as he crawls away. AJ Styles picks Mr. Kennedy, sets him up, and he hits a brainbuster right into the ladder, driving the skull of Ken Kennedy right into the steel. AJ drags the carcass of Kennedy from off the ladder. He opens the ladder and then places Kennedy in between them. Now that Mr. Kennedy is in, AJ slams the ladder right on him. AJ looks around the ring looking for something to use next, and he finds the baseball bat. AJ picks it up and walks back toward Kennedy. AJ uses the baseball bat to hit the ladder that has Kennedy inside, creating a double punishment situation for Ken Kennedy, as his punished by the shots of themselves, but also by the back and forth movement of the steel ladder. AJ ends his aggression with the bat and finally throws it to the outside of the ring. Meanwhile, Rob Van Dam reaches the apron and he throws himself out of the ring. RVD continues crawling all the way toward the announcing table, where he starts trying to use to pull himself back to a standing position. Inside the ring, Sabu has gotten back to his feet, and he walks toward AJ Styles. Styles threatens to attack him, but Sabu makes it clear that he wants to punish Mr. Kennedy as for now. AJ Styles nods, agreeing. Sabu picks up the steel chair wrapped in barbwire and he climbs to the top rope. AJ Styles walks out of the way leaving the space open for Sabu’s daredevil attack. However, he sees the trash can – or what’s left of it-, and walks toward it picking it up. Sabu finally launches from the top rope and he hits a chair assisted leg drop, putting the steel chair wrapped in barbwire under his legdrop and landing over the ladder and over Mr. Kennedy, squashing Ken under the ladder. Sabu hurts himself nonetheless, both with the steel of the ladder but by inserting the barbwire of the chair on his own leg. Sabu however slowly starts getting back to his senses. He turns around to face where AJ Styles is, however what he gets is a trash can shot right to the head by AJ Styles, which such strength that hurls him through the top and middle rope all the way to the outside of the ring. AJ opens the ladder and drags Mr. Kennedy back out and toward the middle of the ring.

Meanwhile on the outside of the ring, RVD has somehow effectively used the announcing table to get back to a vertical standing and, gingerly, he walks toward the steel steps. However, he doesn’t use them to walk back to the inside of the ring, instead he picks them up and throws the upper part of the steps to the inside of the ring. AJ is turning his back to the side of the ring in which RVD is throwing the steps from the outside, and so he is lucky that the steps land a few inches away from him. RVD grabs the base of the steel steps as well and he throws it to the inside of the ring. AJ has turned around as result of the landing of the first part of the steps and stepped forward, with such bad luck that this time he can’t avoid the steps and they land right on top of him. RVD looks around the audience shocked at what he just did, but as layback as he is, he grins and points at himself taunting to the crowd and getting them to chant their initials. RVD returns to the inside of the ring, and he starts showing us his intentions, as he sets the both parts of the sets next to each other, with about 10 feet in between them, and close to the corner. He then grabs the ladder and places it laid over the steps. Sabu on the inside the ring apparently wants to copycat Van Dam as he has thrown the upper part of the other set of steel steps to the inside of the ring. RVD notices him and he keeps him from entering the ring as he storms crossing the ring and nails Sabu with a baseball slide kick right to the chest. RVD turns around and walks toward AJ Styles. Van Dam picks AJ up and he puts him over the ladder. The crowd cheers as they seem to know what RVD is going to do. Blood blinds RVD for a moment but he whips right off his eyes and walks toward the corner, then climbs to the top rope. RVD looks down to the scene he has set, the ladder placed over the steps, and AJ over the ladder. Rob finally launches from the top rope connecting a Five Star Frog Splash on AJ Styles. Styles spine horribly bounces over the steel ladder. The crowd once again starts a “Holy Shit” chant, quickly replaced by a “RVD” chant. RVD has also hurt himself, but he starts getting back to his senses and to his feet. However, his future doesn’t seem promising as when he turns around he walks right into Mr. Kennedy, who has gotten back to his feet and was waiting for him. Kennedy lifts him over his shoulders, turns around and he hits the Steamroller standing Green Bay Plunge right on the steps that Sabu introduced in the ring. RVD, contorting in pain and grabbing his lower back rolls and falls to the outside of the ring.

RVD lands ironically next to Sabu. Sabu reacts violently to the touch of Van Dam and he gets up to one knee and starts hitting punches filled with revenge to Rob Van Dam. Sabu then picks Rob Van Dam, shoves him toward the guard rail and storms toward him clotheslining him all the way over the rail and sending him into the fans. On the inside of the ring, Mr. Kennedy drags AJ to the middle of the ring and makes the cover: 1…2…, Sabu slides to the inside of the ring and hits Double Axe Handle to the back of Mr. Kennedy breaking the pinfall. Sabu picks Mr. Kennedy up, sets him quickly and nails him with an STO right into the barbwired chair. Sabu rolls to the outside of the ring and takes from under the ring a small, white cloth bag. Sabu slides back to the inside of the ring and pours the content of that bag, revealing it to be thumbtacks. Sabu turns his head for a fraction of second to the crowd and to where he left RVD and notices that he is getting back to his senses. Sabu has to make a decision. Either he finishes of Mr. Kennedy using the thumbtacks, or he goes back on his revenge mission over Rob Van Dam from what he has done to him on the match. Sabu apparently chooses RVD, as he walks toward the ladder and picks it up. Sabu then sets the ladder near the side of the ring closest to the where Van Dam is trying to get back to his feet in between the crowd. Sabu yells at the fans to get out of the way, and then, to the shock of everyone, starts climbing the ladder. Sabu climbs the last strung and reaches the top. Fans, not wanting any accident move away leaving Rob Van Dam completely isolated. Sabu shows he was not fooling around and flies through the air coming from the top of the ladder on the inside of the ring, performs a crossbody plancha and lands on Rob Van Dam in the middle of the crowd. Sabu and RVD lay motionless in literally the middle of the BTW Universe, as the fans start a “This is Awesome” chant. In the inside of the ring, AJ Styles uses what he has left in the tank and crawls toward the now bleeding as well Mr. Kennedy. AJ puts one arm across his chest: 1…2…, somehow Mr. Kennedy gets one shoulder up. AJ Styles shows no reaction, as he doesn’t even move. It takes a while, but finally AJ Styles gets back to his feet. He walks toward Mr. Kennedy and guides him back to his feet, then sets him up for a suplex, a suplex that would end with Mr. Kennedy landing right over the thumbtacks. AJ goes for it however Kennedy blocks it. AJ Styles attempts it again, but one more time Ken Kennedy blocks it, and on this occasion he lifts AJ up countering and going for a suplex of his own, however somehow AJ lands right on his feet, and as Kennedy turns around, AJ connects him with the Pele. Mr. Kennedy falls down to the canvas, but luckily for him he doesn’t land over the thumbtacks for matter of mere inches. AJ looks at him and disposes himself to dash toward the ring ropes as soon as Mr. Kennedy recovers himself.

Meanwhile, in between the audience, RVD and Sabu are just getting back to his senses. Back in the inside of the squared circle, Kennedy is indeed recuperating his vertical standing. He finally fully does so, and immediately AJ Styles dashes toward the ring ropes, springboards and lands behind Mr. Kennedy, looking to connect his characteristic Phenomenon, however when he has his opponent set for the Inverted DDT, Kennedy counters with an arm twist, going behind AJ Styles, setting him up and connecting AJ with a Full Nelson Facebuster, sending AJ and himself face first into the thumbtack pool. Meanwhile, Rob Van Dam and Sabu are fully recovered and brawling in between the crowd. Sabu gets the upperhand on the bloody RVD with a knee to the middle section. Sabu then quickly grabs a sign from a fan and smashes it right on the face on the skull of his opponent, proving that the sign was made of a harder cardboard than expected. Sabu then grabs his opponent by the back of the head and he Irish Whips him toward a low, step barricade in front of them. RVD impacts against them knees first and he rolls over it going to the other side. On the other side there is an EXIT sign on top of a door, with a step ladder on its left and deck over it. Sabu waits for RVD to get back to his feet. Van Dam finally does so and Sabu immediately dashes toward him, leaps over the barricade and attempts a flying Lou Thesz Press, however Van Dam shows signals of life as he sidesteps getting out of the way, letting Sabu fly right into the concrete floor hurting himself. RVD gingerly remains on his feet. He looks up to the deck above the exit door, which causes blood to go into his eyes. Rob smiles as if he had gotten an idea. However, he wants to make sure that Sabu is out. Rob picks Sabu up, however Sabu reacts first leveling him with a low blow. Sabu then grabs RVD by the back of the head and throws him toward the metallic door. RVD crashes hard against it, staggers right back and collapses down to the floor. Sabu seems to know what RVD wanted to do as he goes to steal his idea. Sabu walks toward the ladder and he climbs it, reaching the deck over the door. The deck seems to be about 17-18ft above the floor. Sabu looks down to his opponent and then he makes his Magician of Arabia taunt. The crowd pops knowing Sabu is capable of that crazy stunt. Sabu finally lets himself go from the deck aiming to connect a splash, however RVD reveals to the playing possum and he rolls out of the way, letting Sabu miss a 17ft fly and landing hard against the concrete floor. RVD pulls himself back to his feet and he starts a slow jog back to the ring.

On the inside of the ring both AJ Styles and Mr. Kennedy are knocked out still. Kennedy is the first to get back to his feet. His face is covered in red blood, and thumbtacks are inserted in his cheeks and forehead. RVD finally reaches the guard rail. He leaps over it and stands at ringside. Kennedy notices him and he starts screaming at him waiting for him to get back to his feet. Behind Kennedy, AJ Styles also gets back to his senses, and he crawls toward the outside of the ring. AJ looks from under the ring and without anybody noticing it, he takes out a neon light bulb stick. Kennedy continues trading words with Van Dam, inviting him to return to the inside of the ring. However, RVD sees AJ Styles climbing to the inside of the ring on the other side. AJ stares at the Kennedy before finally blasting the light bulb on the back of Kennedy, breaking the bulb in two right on the back of his opponent. RVD immediately slides to the inside of the ring. He goes for a clothesline on AJ, however Styles ducks. RVD turns around performing a roundhouse kick, however AJ avoids the kick in matrix like fashion. AJ then lays flat on the canvas, kips up and on the flow of the movement he hits performs a Hurricanrana hurling RVD away. AJ looks around and realizes he’s alone, and so he has all the time in the world to set the scene. He grabs the lower part of the steel steps still laying on the inside of the ring and sets it close to the corner. AJ then picks up RVD and places it right on top of them. AJ then climbs to the top rope. The crowd boos as they predict that AJ might end the match right here and now. AJ comes down the top rope performing his Spiral Tap, and aiming to land on RVD. However, Van Dam is able to roll out of the way and down of the steps, letting AJ land on the steel steps hurting himself. Van Dam crawls toward the ring ropes and uses them to pull himself back to a standing position. Van Dam looks to his right and he notices that Mr. Kennedy has grabbed the steel chair and has it over him, as he tries to get back to his feet. RVD immediately goes to avoid this as he dashes to the ring ropes, comes right back and hits some Rolling Thunder over Mr. Kennedy, incrusting the steel chair into the humanity of Kennedy. Rob Van Dam finds himself in the ring left alone the last man standing. AJ is still on top of the steps knocked out after missing the Spiral Tap. Sabu is deep into the crowd inmobile, and Mr. Kennedy is right next him immobile after being hit with Rolling Thunder. Rob Van Dam decides on finishing up AJ Styles.

Van Dam grabs the ladder still inside the ring and sets it up. He rolls then to the outside of the ring and he takes out a lumber board, but it isn’t any regular lumber board. It is covered in barbwire. It is identical to the one RVD used in Rebellion PPV to take out Sabu. RVD slides back to the inside of the ring and puts the lumber on top of the steps. He grabs AJ, drags it close to the set “artifact” so to speak, and puts AJ Styles on top of the barbwire. Blood stops pouring already from the back of AJ Styles. Rob Van Dam climbs to the top of the ladder, and right on top he taunts to the fans, getting them to chant “Rob…Van…Dam!”, and after they are done, RVD comes from down the ladder flying 16ft through the air and landing right on top of AJ Styles, connecting a splash into AJ, squashing him right into the lumber barbwire. It takes a couple of seconds, but RVD is finally able to cover AJ Styles: 1…2…3.

Result: Rob Van Dam pins AJ Styles


Styles: He did it, RVD is the winner of this match.

JBL: My God, these men smell like smoke ‘cause they’ve been through fire, and now that this match is over, I’m afraid we’re going to have to carry them off all in stretchers.

Styles: No doubt about it. Like we said before, we were going to see a lot of violence in this one, a lot of blood, and in the end that’s what we got.

JBL: And this is what WrestleBowl is all about.


(When the spotlight fades and the glamour extinguishes, when the glory from WrestleBowl ends…the revengeful claim for retribution. The disappointed seek for revenge. Rippers search for their next victim. After WrestleBowl passes by, it’s time for men to be punished for their sins, carry their responsibilities and pay their dues. BTW presents…Busted Open)


JR: Busted Open indeed the next opportunity we join you in PPV, but there’s still a lot of he proverbial WrestleBowl glory to happen right in front of our eyes.


“Arabian” out of nowhere plays to boos from the fans that react first among the shocked audience. The rest of the fans finally fully react and boo as well when they see no other than Muhammed Hassan on the stage.

Styles: Is that…?

JBL: Muhammed Hassan! He’s back! My God, we are witnessing the return of Muhammed Hassan!

Styles: We had not seen Muhammed Hassan since he lost to former associate Mark Henry.


Muhammed Hassan ignores all the boos from the audience as he walks down the ramp. He reaches the ring, climbs up the steps (that have been set again on their position), and enters the ring. Hassan asks for a microphone.

Hassan: I can’t believe it. I have been gone for so long and you filthy people haven’t changed one bit.

Crowd heavily boos



Hassan: You’re sitting in your hands, or booing me, as like common, every day greedy Americans, you always want more. You are always wanting for more, and you never stop, look around and realize the greatness right in front of your eyes.

Crowd boos even more.

Hassan: Tell me, for how long was I gone? Where did I go? What have I been doing? You don’t know, you don’t know simply because you choose to don’t care about me. You choose to belittle me, ignore me and insult me by disrespecting me. And we could stand here and talk about all the many reasons there could be for that, but we all know why that is. You, in your minds, still haven’t forgotten about that single day, that September day, and thanks to that, me and my people pay for that.

Crowd boos again.

Hassan: I am an American citizen, just like you…and you…and you (Hassan points to people on the crowd). Yet, thanks to September 11, and my Arabic lineage, and many times worst, just for my last name, America disrespects. I have to stand here and get boos from all of you, suffer your hate, just because I seek for equality. This is WrestleBowl, and yet, did I get an invitation from management themselves to be here? No, and again…

Crowd starts a “You suck” chant.

Hassan: And again, excuse me, we don’t have to be a genius to know why that is.

Hassan paces around the ring hearing the boos from the crowd.

Hassan: But now, I am back, and I am back to get revenge. You think I will just stand and watch how BTW, how America spits on my face and disrespect me? Oh no, not now. Muhammed Hassan will…


“American Dream” plays to a huge ovation from the crowd expecting to see Dusty Rhodes. However, the person who comes out is not Dusty Rhodes. We see a young man, tanned and with dark hair. He walks down the ramp and he enters the ring.

JR: Thank God somebody put a stop to Muhammed Hassan’s rambling.

JBL: Be respectful JR, we have not seen Hassan in months and now he’s pouring his heart in that ring.

Styles: But who is that men walking down the ramp?

JR: I have an idea, but I don’t want to start a rumor, so let’s hear what the young man has to say.


The man walks toward the middle of the ring, with microphone in hand, and confronts Muhammed Hassan.

Hassan: You certainly aren’t Dusty Rhodes.

Man: No, I am not. But I’ll tell you who I am. I am his son, Cody Rhodes.

Crowd gives a little cheer.

Hassan: Well, how fitting. Just like every normal American, you are here sticking your nose in other people’s business. Or worse, you are here to play homage to your dad’s “American Dream” tagline and run the nasty, bad Arab away.

Rhodes: To be honest with you, no. I…

Crowd interrupts Cody Rhodes with an USA chant directed toward Muhammed Hassan.

Hassan: Yeah, that’s really smart. I am also American you know.

Rhodes: That’s the thing. You claim to be America, but you don’t prove it. You come here and ask America to respect you? How about you start by respecting America first!

Crowd pops. Muhammed Hassan steps toward Cody Rhodes and gets right on his face.

Hassan: You know, I don’t have to stand here and listen to what you, boy, have to say. When you stop coasting from your last name to being somebody in life, then maybe I’ll consider so.

Rhodes: And maybe when you stop using your lineage as to why nobody likes you, then I’ll…


Muhammed Hassan snaps and he slaps the taste right off the mouth of Cody Rhodes. Hassan then sets Rhodes up for his Modified STO, however Cody gets out of the maneuver with an elbow strike right to the side of the head of his opponent. Hassan staggers back, turns around walking right into Cody, who kicks him in the middle section and connects him with a DDT. Cody gets back to his feet and he lifts his arms up in the air taunting to the crowd.

JR: First time we see young Cody Rhodes here in BTW, and what a mark he left already here in WrestleBowl.

Styles: A dream debut by the son of Dusty Rhodes, shutting up the loudmouth Muhammed Hassan.

JBL: I can’t believe how Cody stole Hassan’s thunder.


We see Cody Rhodes walking up the ramp, smiling and taunting to the crowd.

Styles: But now, it’s time to switch gears and move on to something big, as big as the BTW Continental Championship match.

JBL: Christian Cage has already pinned Chris Jericho twice in the last couple of weeks, this is going to be the third.

JR: I am not too sure about that. This is a hell of a stage and we all know that Jericho has a heart of champion, and tonight he might just be that, a champion.


“Break Down the Walls” plays to a huge ovation from the crowd as Chris Jericho appears on the stage with his arms extended. Y2J turns around and walks down the ramp, already fired up and ready for the match. Jericho enters the ring in his unique, characteristic way. Inside the ring he climbs to the corners and taunts to the crowd.

JR: He’s the challenger. He has faced a lot of adversity just to get into this match.

Styles: He even had to defeat The Big Show to get in this match.

JBL: But guys, let’s not fool ourselves, he has lost twice already to Christian Cage, what makes you think he might pull it off here tonight.


“Just Close your Eyes” plays to a lot of boos from the crowd as Christian Cage appears on the stage with a black hood and the BTW Continental Championship wrapped around his waist. Cage ignores the fans as he walks down the ramp. He enters the ring, and watching at Jericho by the tail of his eye, he climbs to the corner taunting to the audience.

Styles: To answer your question John, that man right there, Chris Jericho, never backs down, and as JR said, he has a heart of champion.

Chris Jericho and Christian Cage stare at each other, Jericho standing in the middle of the ring while the champion, Christian Cage, laid against a corner looking at him back with an air of confidence and arrogance. Christian finally walks away from the corner and toward Chris Jericho. Both competitors get face to face, forehead to forehead in the middle of the ring. We can’t read the men’s lips and see what they are saying to one another, but they seem to be trading insults. Jericho and Christian separate from each other and walk backwards to different sides of the ring. Christian continues the taunting by moving his hands around his waist and yelling at Jericho “I’m the champion”. The crowd heavily boos at Christian, which prompts him to answers back, losing focus over Chris Jericho and screaming at the crowd the same thing, that he is the champion. Chris Jericho takes advantage of this and he storms toward the distracted Christian Cage, which qickly gets a pop from the audience. Jericho takes him to the corner with his attack, and he connects Christian with a series of body punches, straight right hands to the head and even clubs to the back. The referee finally steps and he forces a clean break between both opponents. Christian Cage however, when the referee turns his back on him as he takes Chris Jericho away, is able to hit a sucker punch right on Jericho’s face over the shoulder of the official. Christian shoves the referee away and makes the cover: 1…, Jericho gets quickly one shoulder up. The camera zooms on the face of Chris Jericho and we see a little string of blood coming from down the nose of Chris Jericho. Christian gets up to his knee and like a shark that smells blood in the water he starts punching Chris right on the face, aiming directly at the nose. The referee once again steps in and he takes Christian Cage away from Chris Jericho, giving Y2J the chance to get himself together. The official warns Christian to stay away. He then walks toward Chris Jericho, checks his bleeding nose and asks him if he’s ok. Jericho whips the blood from above his mouth and rolls toward the ring ropes. Chris uses them to pull himself back to a standing position. Christian mocks the bleeding nose of his title challenger as both competitors start circling each other, slowly waiting for the opening to attack each other.

They circle closer and closer each time to the middle of the ring and to each other. They finally meet in the middle of the ring and enter in a collar elbow tie up. Christian Cage gets the upperhand as he locks his opponent in a side headlock. While Christian has it locked in, he continues mocking Chris Jericho as he yells at him “Oh, you’re bleeding”. Christian then looks up the crowd and screams “Look, he’s bleeding”. Once again, all this excessive taunting costs Christian Cage as Chris Jericho is able to hoist him up in the air and drop him down to the canvas to connect a side suplex, effectively getting out from the lock of his opponent. Chris Jericho gets back to his feet first, quickly followed by Christian Cage. Jericho immediately goes for the lag as he takes him down to the canvas and starts trying to flip Christian over his belly and lock in the Walls of Jericho, however Christian has still a lot of energy to fight back and he manages to use his leg strength to shove Chris Jericho away. Y2J gets staggered toward the ring ropes behind him while Christian Cage gets back to his feet. Jericho bounces back from the ropes and comes right back toward Cage. Cage leapfrogs over him, letting Chris Jericho pass by running under him. Jericho however stops his dash. Christian turns around and finds Jericho right in front of him. Nonetheless, Christian Cage is still the first one to attack of the two, as Cage slaps the taste right off the mouth from the Number One Contender for his Continental Championship. This however backfires on Christian Cage, as instead of making Jericho flinch, it fires him up and Chris now truly opens it up on the champion, landing him with a flurry of punches. Christian grabs Cage by the arm and Irish Whips him toward the ring ropes. Cage bounces back and gets connected with his trademarked spinning heel kick. Jericho covers the champion: 1…2…, Christian gets one shoulder up. Chris Jericho gets back to his feet, without even arguing with the referee about the count. Jericho grabs his opponent by the hair and pulls Cage back to his feet. Jericho sets Christian Cage up, then he connects him with a vertical suplex, close to being a stalling suplex. Chris gets back to his feet and he walks toward the corner, climbing to the top rope. There he looks down at Christian Cage and measures him. Jericho finally flies through the airs looking to connect Cage down with a splash, however Christian is able to roll out of the way letting Chris Jericho miss the splash, crashing and burning hard against the canvas. Jericho hits face first against the canvas.

The crash causes Jericho’s nose to start pouring blood again. Christian crawls toward Jericho and makes the cover: 1…2…, Chris Jericho gets one shoulder up keeping the match going. Christian gets back to his feet and he brings his challenger up with him. He then weakens Jericho even more by connecting him with straight right hands to the face. Christian hits a toe kick to the middle section of Y2J, then grabs him and starts trying to set him up for the Unprettier. Christian goes as far as even rotating Jericho, being moments away from dropping Jericho over his face down to the canvas and effectively connect the Unprettier, however Chris Jericho is able to reverse the maneuver and gets Christian in a backslide pin: 1…2…, Christian Cage kicks out, then crawls away from Jericho. Both men get back to their feet and storm toward each other, but it is Christian the one who attacks first as he hits a low dropkick to the knee of Chris Jericho, violently knocking him down to the canvas. Christian Cage gets up and walks toward Jericho, then coldly puts his right foot on the face of the challenger, and finally stomps on the face of Chris Jericho, targeting the nose of his opponent once again. Y2J coughs as a result of him swallowing the blood coming from his nose. Christian Cage repeats the punishment, stomping Chris Jericho right on the face. He then makes the cover, putting his forearm right on the face of his opponent: 1…2…, Chris Jericho is able to kick out. Christian Cage looks up to the referee for a quick second, as if questioning the count he just made. He then gets back to his feet and pulling Chris Jericho by the hair brings him up with him. Cage grabs his opponent in a front facelock and then he advances toward the corner, putting Chris Jericho against it. Christian there starts to blatantly choke Jericho. The official, as he has been for the entire contest, quickly interrupts the aggression and asks for a clean break. Christian Cage pretends to be doing so, however out of a sudden Christian snaps right toward Chris Jericho and hits an elbow strike right to the face of his opponent. The referee has no other option but to step away and let Christian Cage continue his offense. Christian grabs Chris Jericho and he lifts him up, sitting him on the top rope on the corner. Christian slowly climbs to the second rope and then to the top, joining Chris Jericho. Christian starts setting his opponent up for a superplex. Cage pulls trying to connect the maneuver, however Chris blocks the attempt. Christian Cage goes for it again, however for the second time Chris Jericho refuses to be superplexed down to the mat and blocks it again.

Christian Cage makes one third attempt, however Chris Jericho had gotten motivation from all his previous blocking successes and blocks it yet again, and this time he answers back Christian’s attempts, as he pushes Christian Cage down from the corner all the way down to the canvas. Chris Jericho gingerly incorporates himself standing on the top rope. Christian Cage starts getting back to his senses and getting back to his feet on the canvas. Cage gets fully back to a standing position, and immediately Y2J flies through the airs and connects Christian Cage right on the head with a diving spinning elbow strike. Chris Jericho however isn’t able to fully capitalize, and he remains next to Christian Cage both knocked out. Slowly, after a couple of seconds, both Chris Jericho and Christian Cage start getting back to their feet. They recover their standing positions and stand right in front of one another. Christian Cage swings for a clothesline, but Chris Jericho is able to duck the attempt avoiding it, then when Christian Cage turns around, Chris nails him with a step up enziguiri. Christian Cage gets hit right on the face and staggers through the ropes to the outside of the ring. Chris Jericho crawls toward the middle of the ring where he collapses down once again. He runs his right hand over his face whipping down the remaining blood. It seems as if his bleeding has ceased for now. On the outside, Christian starts getting back to his feet. In an unusual display of sportsmanship by Christian Cage, instead of letting himself get counted out, Christian Cage starts getting back to the ring as he climbs to the apron. Chris Jericho sees this and he quickly gets back to his feet. Jericho dashes toward the corner located diagonal on his right and on the ring ropes close to that corner he springboards toward Christian Cage connecting him with a springboard dropkick, knocking the BTW Continental Champion off the apron. Chris Jericho pulls himself back uo using the ring ropes, and now more confident and getting his usual swagger back, he taunts to the crowd screaming “Come on, Baby!” Christian Cage contorts on the outside floor holding his chest in pain, in the exact spot where the dropkick connected. Chris Jericho attempts to leave the ring going behind Christian Cage, however the referee keeps him away to let Cage recover and get back to the ring by his own terms. Captain Charisma slowly pulls himself back to his feet, putting one knee first on the floor and then fully getting back to his feet. Christian Cage turns around and he looks to the inside of the ring where he watches Chris Jericho standing in the middle of the ring eagerly waiting for him.

Christian Cage lets out a nervous laugh, then he just turns around and starts walking away from the ring, leaving from the match and not caring if he gets counted out. Chris Jericho sees this and he rushes to the outside of the ring, circles the ring and goes up the ramp in pursuit of Cage. Christian looks back and watches his challenger coming for him. Cage tries to run away, however he slips and Chris Jericho gets to him. Jericho picks Christian up, and punishes him as he smashes his head on the guard rail. Jericho takes Cage closer to the ring and finally throws it to the inside. Jericho slides to the interior of the square circle and makes the cover: 1…2…, Cage kicks out keeping the match going. Chris Jericho gets back to his feet, his face showing that he is unmotivated by Christian Cage kicking out. Jericho picks Cage back to his feet, however before he attacks him, Christian counters with a sitting jawbreaker. Christian staggers back holding his jaw. Christian gets back to his feet and goes toward Chris Jericho. Cage grabs Jericho in an inverted facelock, then drops him onto his right knee connecting an Inverted Facelock backbreaker. Christian Cage reincorporates Chris Jericho, not realizing the inverted facelock, and then drops Jericho connecting a Falling Inverted DDT. Christian Cage makes the cover: 1…2…, Jericho kicks out, however Christian is able to take advantage of the momentum produced by the kick out to grab one the left leg of his title challenger. Christian Cage then sets the legs up of Chris Jericho in the Cloverleaf position and steps over him, turning Jericho over. Christian squats and lean backs, punishing Chris Jericho. Y2J screams in pain as Christian continues to apply the Cloverleaf, looking for the submission victory. Chris Jericho however starts dragging toward the ring ropes. The crowd gets behind him with a chant of his name. Jericho stretches his right hand and he manages to grab the bottom rope, forcing Christian Cage to release the submission maneuver. Christian holds on to it, and the referee starts the count that could end in DQ: 1…2…3…4…, Christian releases the hold avoiding a disqualification. Christian walks away and waits for Chris Jericho to get back to his feet. Chris Jericho slowly does so using the ring ropes. He then turns around and walks right into a lariat by Cage that knocks him down to the canvas. Christian waits for Jericho to get back to his feet. Y2J slowly pulls himself back up only to get almost decapitated by a second lariat by the Continental Champion.

Christian Cage walks toward the opposite side of the ring, where he, for the third time, waits for Chris Jericho to get back to his feet. Y2J slowly recovers his vertical standing, turns around, which prompts Christian Cage to storm toward him looking a running clothesline with a longer dash to add more momentum to the smash, however out of nowhere Chris Jericho is able to get back to his senses and receives the running Christian Cage with his characteristic Flashback. Chris Jericho gets back to his feet and he finds the opening he was looking for. Chris Jericho dashes toward the ring ropes, springboards and comes right back looking to connect his Lionsault, however Christian Cage is able to roll to his left avoiding the maneuver. Nonetheless, Jericho is able to land over his two feet. However, Christian Cage is able to show that he is in a better physical state that Chris Jericho as he out fastens him and takes him down by the legs. Christian Cage doesn’t release the leg, and he starts setting Jericho up for a submission maneuver. However, he isn’t going for the Cloverleaf. On this occasion, he goes to humiliate Chris Jericho as he tries to turn Y2J over his belly and lock in the submission maneuver. Jericho is quickly able to avoid the maneuver as he counters before he is flipped over his belly and school boy rolls the champion: 1….2…, Christian Cage is able to kick out. Chris Jericho wants to finally mount some momentum, and so when Cage gets back to his feet, he quickly connects him with a straight right hand. He nails a second punch and finalizes with a forearm strike. Jericho Irish Whips Christian Cage toward the opposite corner, and immediately he dashes toward the corner. Cage crashes spine first against the turnbuckle and staggers back. Chris Jericho instead was aiming for the ring ropes, and so he bounces back right toward the staggered Cage, probably looking for his one handed bulldog. Christian however is able to avoid the maneuver and kill Chris Jericho’s momentum as he turns around before Chris gets to him and clotheslines him down to the canvas. Christian Cage taunts to the crowd slapping himself on the chest three times. He then walks toward the corner and climbs to the top rope. Cage looks down to his opponent and comes down from the corner, perfectly executing and connecting a Frog Splash. He remains on top of Christian Cage and so the referee makes the count: 1…2…, Chris Jericho is somehow able to get one shoulder up keeping the match going. His nose has gotten busted open once again, and this time it seems worse than before. We see the repetition of the Frog Splash and we see that the forearm of Cage landed right on the face of Chris Jericho.

Christian gets back to his feet and walks toward the referee. He gets right on the referee’s face and argues with him about a slow count. Chris Jericho slowly crawls toward him, however he seems to have all the time in the world as a very distracted Christian Cage seems more interested in arguing with the referee than continuing the match. Jericho finally reaches Cage and he rolls him up. However, instead of going for the pinfall attempt, he gets back to his feet and locks in the Walls of Jericho. Christian screams in pain as he gets punished by Jericho’s submission maneuver. The crowd heavily cheers as they expect the moment in which they see Christian Cage tapping out. Cage however doesn’t give up and he starts crawling toward the ring ropes, but right before he grabs the bottom rope, Chris Jericho pulls him back to the purgatory, as he drags him right back to the middle of the ring. The referee gets in front of Christian Cage, trying to get a better view to see if Christian taps out. Cage stretches his hands looking in the distance for the ring ropes, however what he grabs is the leg of the referee, and pulls him toward Jericho and himself, breaking the submission maneuver. Chris Jericho and the official remain knocked out as Christian Cage, limping, gets back to his feet. Cage walks toward Chris Jericho, grabs his legs, open the compass and stomps right on the privates of Chris Jericho, then once again goes to humiliate his challenger as he starts looking for the Walls of Jericho, this time effectively turning Jericho over his belt successfully locking it in. The referee uses the ring ropes to get back to his feet. Christian Cage drags Chris Jericho to the middle of the ring, where he waits for his opponent to tap out. Cage sits on the lower back of Y2J to increase the pain of the maneuver. The crowd breaks with a “Go Jericho go” chant, looking for him to recover. Chris Jericho seems motivated by this and starts getting back to his senses after a couple of seconds. He elevates from the canvas using his hands and after a while of struggling with Christian Cage, he manages to roll through the Walls of Jericho as he goes over his own head, bringing Captain Charisma down to the canvas. Chris Jericho feeds from the moment and he sets Christian Cage up in the “original” Walls of Jericho. Cage screams in pain as now he’s the one suffering in the submission maneuver. Christian Cage, just as before, crawls toward the ropes looking to break the maneuver. He manages to get mere inches away from the ropes, however Jericho ruins his chances as he drags him back to the middle of the ring. Christian Cage seems desperate, pain and frustration reflecting on his face, as he was just inches away from escaping the Walls but now is back in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go. Christian Cage, after about twenty seconds in the hold, can’t take anymore of the pain and taps out.

“This Fire Burns” plays to a big amount of cheers from the audience as CM Punk steps out from the curtain. Punk looks at the big Ford Field filled up to the rafters. CM Punk walks down the ramp high fiving his fans. He finally slides to the inside of the ring where he climbs to the top rope taunting to the amazing amount of fans cheer for him.

“Killing Vibe” plays to cheers from the audience, although we are able to hear some scattered boos. Samoa Joe appears on the stage and putting his right hand as if it was a gun, and taunting CM Punk he “shots” him. Samoa Joe enters the ring and stares at CM Punk. The referee rings the bell.

CM Punk and Samoa Joe quickly step toward the middle of the ring and enter in a staredown. The crowd roars around them. CM Punk extends his right hand to his opponent. Joe looks down to it for a couple of seconds; however he quickly accepts it and they both shake hands. The crowd applauds both men as they step backwards, away from each other, and go to different sides of the ring. CM Punk and Samoa Joe start finally circling each other, first slow, but after about five seconds they pick up and move around the ring faster. Punk and Joe finally advance toward each other and enter in a collar elbow tie. CM Punk seems to get the upperhand overpowering his opponent by forcing his opponent back down stepping backwards. Samoa Joe answers back the aggression and after a couple of seconds turn the situation into his favor, as he now applies more strength to the brawling situation and forces CM Punk to step backward. CM Punk levels the collar elbow tie up and both Joe and himself return to the middle of the ring, still engaged in the collar elbow tie up. With nobody getting the clear upperhand, both competitors finally let each other go. To cheers from the audience, CM Punk and Samoa Joe step away from each other and go to the opposite sides of the ring. Punk grins while staring at Joe, and Samoa Joe answers back by pointing at himself and then at Punk, then telling CM “It’s just you and me.” CM Punk and Samoe Joe advance toward each other again and enter in another collar elbow tie up. This time, Samoa Joe gets the upperhand and he locks CM Punk in a side headlock. Joe keeps the headlock applied for a couple of seconds, and then he transitions it into a hammerlock. Joe torques the arm of his opponent, then he puts his right foot on the back of the knee of CM Punk. Samoa Joe stomps on the back of the knee of Punk while releasing the hammerlock lashing Punk away and down to the canvas. CM Punk crawls away from Samoa Joe toward his corner, and then uses the second turnbuckle pad to get back to his feet. CM Punk turns around and stares at Samoa Joe, who grins while looking at him back and tells Punk “come on boy.” CM Punk runs toward Joe and locks up with him in yet another collar elbow tie up. Samoa Joe starts getting the upperhand once again, however CM Punk turns the equation back to his favor with a knee strike right to the middle section of his opponent, making Samoa Joe bend in pain. CM Punk grabs the right hand of Samoa Joe with his left locking in a wristlock. CM Punk then, with his right hand, adds more pressure to the right hand and wrist of Samoa Joe.

CM Punk resists the clubs to the back of Samoa Joe, who tries to use his left arm to fight out of the predicament. Punk takes all the punishment, then with his left leg sweeps his opponent down to the canvas. CM Punk down with him without releasing his wristlock. CM Punk incorporates a little, moving his legs closer to the right arm of Joe, then floats in such a position that allows him to lock Samoa Joe in a crossed armbar with leg scissors. CM Punk pulls and pulls the arm of Joe, trying to pop the shoulder out it socket or hyperextend it. Samoa Joe however knows how to fight out of this predicament and he rolls to his left, then over CM Punk getting him into a pinning predicament taking advantage of the leverage: 1…2…, CM Punk kicks out releasing the armbar. CM Punk and Samoa Joe get back to their feet and this time without any taunting involved, storm toward each other entering another collar elbow tie up testing their strengths. CM Punk gets the quick upperhand and he locks Joe in a side healock. He drains Joe for a couple of seconds, then he takes him down to the canvas. CM Punk continues his punishment, however Samoa Joe is able to reverse the hold using his legs and turning the situation into leg scissors on his behalf. CM Punk is able to escape and rolls away from Samoa Joe. Both competitors get back to their feet and storm yet again toward each other. This time it is Samoa Joe who locks the side headlock, and follows up as well with a takeover. CM Punk however steals a page from the book of Samoa Joe and counters the same way, turning his side headlock into leg scissors. Samoa Joe escapes the maneuver and rolls away from CM Punk all the way to the outside of the ring and to the apron, there, and in his mind safe from CM Punk, gets back to his feet, however the straightedge superstar walks toward him, grabs the top rope as balance and then he hits a huge roundhouse kick to the side of the head of Samoa Joe, knocking him down to the concrete floor below him. CM Punk walks to the middle of the ring where he crosses his arms taunting to the crowd, getting cheers from his fans but boos by the ones who follow Samoa Joe. CM Punk however gets a little too carried away toying to the fans, as he doesn’t notice Samoa Joe recovering a little earlier than what he expected, sliding quickly to the inside of the ring and knocking him down to the canvas with a huge forearm strike to the back. Samoa Joe continues his aggression as he viciously stomps all over the back and spine area of CM Punk. Samoa Joe measures CM Punk and in a vicious attack, he nails a jumping leg drop right to the back of CM Punk’s neck.

But that isn’t all, as apparently Samoa Joe is aiming to make of CM Punk’s neck a bull’s-eye, and continues his flurry of targeting offense by hitting an even more cold blooded and vicious jumping knee drop, driving his knee to the back of the head of CM Punk. Samoa Joe rolls CM Punk over his back and makes the cover: 1…2…, CM Punk kicks out. However, it appears than the samoan Submission Machine was kind of waiting that to happen, as not even looking affected the kick out, Samoa Joe flips CM Punk again and locks in a grounded Full Nelson. The hands of Samoa Joe apply direct pressure to the neck of Punk. CM however has a ton of heart, and with most of energies still intact, CM Punk starts struggling and fighting back to get back to his feet. CM Punk slowly is able to do so, first putting his right knee on the canvas and using it for leverage to pull himself completely back to his feet. However it seems as if Samoa Joe wanted CM Punk to do so, as right when Punk gets over his two feet in a vertical standing, the Full Nelson seems to get more powerful, it seems as if Samoa Joe is applying even more pressure to the maneuver. CM Punk tries to use his upperbody strength to break the Full Nelson, but Samoa Joe has it correctly applied and he will just not give in. Punk nonetheless, now on his vertical standing has far more options to resource in his mission to get out of the maneuver, and he resorts for the easiest of them all: CM Punk dashes backwards toward the corner, causing Samoa Joe to clash spine first against the turnbuckle, the impact making Samoa Joe to release the hold. CM Punk staggers away from the corner. He quickly turns around and runs right back toward Samoa Joe, looking to connect his charging high knee, but Punk isn’t able to connect it as Samoa Joe escapes out of the predicament sidestepping to his right, letting the straightedge competitor clash knee first against the turnbuckle. CM Punk bounces back from this clash right into Samoa Joe, who nails him with a stiff, hard knife edge chop that hurls him right back to the corner. Samoa Joe connects CM Punk with an European Uppercut, spins and when he faces CM Punk again, without interrupting his flow, nails him with an jumping enziguiri right to the temple. Samoa Joe gets up and walks away from the corner. CM Punk groggily staggers from the corner walking right into Samoa Joe, who receives him by connecting his classic ST Joe, slamming CM Punk down to the canvas. Samoa Joe covers Punk hooking Punk’s left leg: 1…2…, CM Punk kicks out keeping the match going.

However, and even though at first it seems that way, this isn’t CM Punk’s break, and instead Samoa Joe remains right over him with his offense, as Samoa Joe, taking advantage of the momentum created by Punk’s kick out, holds on to CM’s left leg, flips Punk over his belly and locks him in an STF. Joe again targets the neck of CM Punk in this maneuver, as he pulls it back. CM Punk however, showing he will not give in, starts crawling toward the ring ropes. Joe notices this and he gets back to his feet, drags CM Punk back to the middle of the ring, and relocks the submission maneuver, this time instead of the STF, he lets the left leg free locking Punk in only a crossface. The crossface nonetheless applies the same amount of pressure to the back of the head of his opponent. CM Punk starts tripping, moving to his sides trying to roll. He finally manages to do so, rolling over his back to his right and reaching to the ring ropes. Joe refuses to let his opponent go, forcing the referee to start the count that would end in a DQ for Joe: 1…2…3…4…, Samoa Joe finally releases CM Punk, letting him go. The referee stands between the floored CM Punk and Samoa Joe, commanding Joe to remain away from Punk, finally letting him catch a break. CM Punk pulls himself back to a standing position. Immediately as he sees this, Samoa Joe shoves the referee away and storms toward CM Punk. Punk however is able to react first and he back body drops him over the top rope to the outside of the ring. The samoan Submission Machine lands hard to the concrete floor of the outside of the ring. The straightedge superstar, grabbing his neck in pain, walks toward the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers for Punk, motivating him. CM Punk lifts his arm in the air toying to the fans even more. CM Punk catches a glimpse of Samoa Joe getting back to his feet on the outside of the ring. Immediately, CM Punk dashes, crossing the ring, and launches himself through the ropes toward Samoa Joe, connecting him with a suicide dive, reminiscent of a Mexican tope. It takes a while, but finally CM Punk gets back to his feet and taunting to the crowd he screams “what’s my name!” CM Punk picks Samoa Joe and he throws him to the inside of the ring. CM follows him and back on the interior he makes the cover: 1…2…, Samoa Joe kicks out. CM Punk seems a little frustrated by this, but deep inside he knows it will take a lot more to put Samoa Joe out. Punk takes the hair out of his face and gets back to a standing position. Punk grabs Joe by the head and guides him back to his feet as well. CM Punk measures him before hitting him with a right open handed slap. He then hits the same but with his left hand, and Punk goes to finish the flurry by going for a Spinning open handed slap, however Joe is able to duck avoiding the maneuver, then, he invents out of nowhere a Dragon Kick with his right leg, but CM Punk sees it coming and he ducks making Joe miss.

When CM Punk ducks avoiding the kick however, he turns his back on Samoa Joe for a couple of seconds, which is enough for Joe to capitalize on with a waist lock, quickly turned into an Inverted Atomic Drop. Samoa Joe immediately dashes to the ring ropes behind him, bounces back and nails Punk with a single leg dropkick right to the chest knocking him down. Samoa Joe runs to the ropes in front of him and opposite to the ones he previously bounced to, comes right back and finishes off with a running senton. Samoa Joe makes the cover: 1…2…, CM Punk is able to kick out. Samoa Joe looks up to the referee for a fraction of second, then gets back to his feet going to continue his attack. Joe grabs CM by the hair and pulls him up to his feet. Joe grabs him by the arm and Irsh Whips Punk to the corner, where odds of getting connected with the Muscle Buster increase. Joe measures his opponent and crosses the ring storming toward him. However, CM Punk is able to out of nowhere reacts and pulls himself up to the second rope sitting on it, grabs the top rope with both hands and as Joe is right about to connect him with a shoulder thrust, CM Punk rolls over him making sure to set his feet under the armpits of his opponent. Punk as said before rolls over Joe and takes Joe with him in the movement, ending his demonstration of speed in a roll up: 1…2…, Samoa Joe is able to kick out. Both men get quickly back to their feet. Samoa Joe advances toward CM Punk trying to attack him, however CM remains one step ahead, out fastening Samoa Joe again and knocking him out cold with a Roundhouse Kick straight to the side of Joe’s head. CM Punk immediately walks toward the corner, where he climbs to the top rope. CM Punk turns his head looking back making sure that Samoa Joe is where he wants it to be. CM Punk gets ready to fly and he does just that, channeling older times and resorting to old moves as he connects Samoa Joe with his Crooked Moonsault. Punk hooks one leg making the cover: 1…2…, Samoa Joe is able to kick out. CM Punk looks a little frustrated at this, but after quickly looking up to the referee he gets back to his feet going to continue the match. Punk grabs Samoa Joe by the head and he guides him back to a standing position. Punk kicks Joe in the middle section weakening him, and making him bend in pain as a result. Punk then hooks both of arms of Samoa Joe in a Double Underhook. CM Punk goes to lift him and connect him with his classic Double Underhook back-breaker, however Samoa Joe counter by freeing his arms and back body dropping CM Punk down to the canvas.

Samoa Joe takes advantage of this time to shake off the cobwebs and recover some wasted energies. CM Punk gets back to his feet and quickly goes toward Samoa Joe looking to connect a clothesline, however Samoa Joe avoids the attack, hooks Punk’s arm, goes behind him and takes Punk with him down into a backslide pin: 1…2…, CM Punk counters by completely over his head, and by doing so turning the situation, and the double underhook, into his favor. CM Punk gets back to his feet, only to then drop Samoa Joe head first into the canvas by connecting a Double Underhook DDT. CM Punk gets back to his feet and lifts his right hand taunting to the crowd. He then leaves the ring going to the apron. Samoa Joe, holding his head slowly pulls himself back to his standing position. Joe stops turning his back on CM Punk and turns around to face him. CM Punk immediately springboards into the ring looking to connect his classic springboard clothesline, however out of nowhere, and showing his natural submitting and countering ability, Samoa Joe’s catches the arm of CM Punk in mid flight and turns the situation into his favor by trying to lock in a standing armbar. CM Punk however has the momentum of being on the driver’s seat for so long and has the energies to quickly start looking for the way out. CM Punk returns to a standing position, still with Joe grabbing his arm. CM Punk starts using his right elbow, as he smashes it right to the face of his opponent. Joe however as enough and on the third attack of the straightedge superstar blocks the elbow and hooks his arm again, then breaks the armbar to hook that arm again, turning it into an Inverted Double Underhook lock. Samoa Joe lifts CM Punk up in the hair, hoists him in there for a couple of seconds before finally slamming him face first down to the canvas. Samoa Joe walks away from his victim taunting to the crowd. CM Punk starts getting back to his senses, going as far as getting sit on the canvas. Samoa Joe quickly stops these attempts of recovery as he dashes to the ring ropes behind him, comes right back and lands a football kick right to the chest of CM Punk, bringing him down to the canvas. Samoa Joe makes the cover: 1…2…, CM Punk is able to kick out. Joe doesn’t even bother to argue with the referee. This time, he gets back to his feet, grabs the legs of CM Punk and starts walking toward the corner, dragging CM Punk along with him. Joe finally reaches to the corner and still grabbing that leg of CM Punk, he climbs first to the bottom rope, then to the second rope. Joe reaches and he grabs the other leg of CM Punk. Samoa with this now climbs to the top rope and hangs CM Punk upside down to the top rope, setting him in the proverbial tree of woe situation. Joe jumps down to the canvas and storms to the opposite side of the ring. Joe performs a perfect circle ending in a straight dash toward the hanged straightedge superstar.

Joe leaps looking to connect a flying knee lift, however CM Punk sits up so to speak, making Joe fail hitting the turnbuckle pad instead. As Joe staggers in pain grabbing his knee, CM Punk quickly climbs down from the corner and down to the apron, where he eagerly waits for Samoa Joe to get back to his feet. The samoan Submission Machine slowly pulls himself back to his feet. CM Punk immediately propels himself to the inside of the ring, this time effectively connecting his springboard clothesline. CM Punk gets back to his feet fired up and ready to end the match. He looks down at Samoa Joe waiting for him to get back up. Joe slowly does so, and when he does, he walks right into CM Punk, who gets him over his shoulders in a fireman’s carry. CM Punk takes one step going to the middle of the ring, and he goes to connect his GTS and end the match, however right when Samoa Joe gets elevated before finally getting dropped head first into Punk’s knee, Samoa Joe counters and turns the GTS into a DDT. Samoa Joe and CM Punk lay motionless next to each other for a while, before Samoa Joe is finally able to crawl toward his opponent and puts one arm across the chest of his opponent: 1…2…, CM Punk kicks out keeping the match going. The crowd cheers in excitement as they get to see this awesome match continuing. Samoa Joe looks up to the referee with a tired and frustrated expression on his face. He finally gets back to his feet, but this time instead of maintaining himself over CM Punk, Samoa Joe walks toward the corner and he climbs to the top rope. CM Punk gets slowly back to his feet and blindly walks toward the corner where Samoa Joe is. Joe leaps from the top rope and comes right down connecting CM Punk with a Tornado DDT, the same maneuver he used weeks ago to defeat Mark Henry on BTW Nitro. CM Punk gets covered: 1…2…, Punk is able to once again kick out keeping the match going. Samoa Joe this time doesn’t argue with the referee, doesn’t walk away from CM Punk. No. His face tells the story this time, and he looks angry, he seems as if he is just about to kick it into another gear. Joe grabs Punk by the hair and he viciously pulls him getting Joe back to his feet. Not releasing the hair, he drags him all the way toward the middle of the ring, place where more than likely he plans on ending the match. However, out of nowhere it is CM Punk the one who reacts, grabbing the right arm of his opponent, pulling Joe toward himself, then setting Joe up to connect him with a lifting sideslam, used as a step up to his submission maneuver, the Anaconda Vice.

CM Punk applies more and more pressure to the maneuver, punishing more and more Joe’s limb trapped in the maneuver, while he cuts Samoa Joe’s air supply at the same time. Punk’s face turns red as a demonstration of how much pressure his putting into the maneuver. The referee in charge of this challenge immediately goes to check the state of Samoa Joe, and he finds out that Joe is about to pass out. Immediately the referee lifts the only free arm of Joe, only to see it drop with no response. The referee lifts it again and for the second time it gets no reaction from Joe as his arm drops again. The referee announces this would be the last time as he picks up the arm of Samoa Joe and lets it fell, however as it is falling, Samoa Joe gets his arm back to life and places it right under CM Punk’s right bicep, and there he starts making pressure into the outside, trying to break out the hold. Apparently it is effective as it creates enough space for Samoa Joe to free his other arm, with which he nails big elbow strikes to the face of CM Punk, finally forcing him CM Punk to release the Anaconda Vice! CM Punk can’t believe it, however he might have drained enough enery out of Samoa Joe to win the match: 1…2…, Joe kicks out. CM Punk remains sitting on the canvas, breathing heavily and not able to believe that Joe is still going strong. CM Punk gets back to his feet and not wanting to let Samoa Joe catch a break, quickly brings him up with him. Punk stands in front of the groggy Samoa Joe, then starts wearing him down as he connects him with kicks right to the legs and calves of the samoan Submission Machine. Punk ends his flurry by a Reverse Yakuza kick to the gut. CM Punk grabs Samoa Joe, sets him up and connects him with a Spinning Release Suplex. Punk crawls toward Joe and makes the cover: 1…2…, Samoa Joe kicks out yet again. Punk again keeps his offense fast and gets back to his feet. He picks Samoa Joe up and sets him for another suplex. Only this time when he elevates Samoa Joe, he walks toward the ring ropes and slingshots him. However, before CM Punk drops him down to the canvas, Joe slides down of the grasp of his opponent landing on his vertical standing right behind his opponent, allowing him to set CM Punk and out of nowhere connect him with a neckbreaker. It takes a while but finally Samoa Joe gets himself together as he incorporates and crawls away from his opponent. Joe however is still a little affected to all the offense he has taken from CM Punk and when he gets back to his feet he does so right against the turnbuckles of the corner. CM Punk gets obviously faster than Joe to his senses and to his feet, and noticing the position Samoa Joe has walked right into, CM Punk storms toward him connecting his charging high knee strike, driving his knee right to the jaw of Samoa Joe.

Punk locks Joe in a headlock and runs toward the middle of the ring looking to connect his bulldog, only this time Samoa Joe is indeed able to counter as he pushes Punk away. CM gets carried away by the momentum, however he slides on the canvas and is able to stop himself. He gets back to his feet, turns around and runs right back toward Samoa Joe, only to get connected by a jumping knee lift almost decapitating CM Punk. Joe drops down to his knees following this maneuver, a few inches away from the knocked out straightedge superstar. Joe gets finally back to a standing position and he announces the end of the match. He picks CM Punk, who appears to be out, and throws him toward the corner. CM Punk gets set over the ropes, allowing Samoa Joe to get him on the correct position so that he can nail the Muscle Buster. Having Punk set already, Joe walks backwards to the middle of the ring, however, before he gets connected with the match ending Muscle Buster, Punk counters by overturning his weight and being able to free himself as Joe releases him so that he doesn’t get carried away by Punk going down. CM Punk lands on his feet, and as Samoa Joe turns around, Punk gets him over his shoulders setting him for GTS. Punk again walks toward the middle of the ring going to connect GTS, however when Joe gets hoisted up high with the intention of dropping him head first into Punk’s knee, Samoa Joe reverses the maneuver and turns it into a small package: 1…2…, CM Punk rolls over his own back turning the situation into a pinfall attempt in his favor: 1…2…3!

Cline: Rock, tonight…

The Rock puts his left hand in front of the face of Leticia Cline making her to stop talking.

Rock: I am sorry baby but we can’t star without this…Finally the Rock has come back to Detroit!

Crowd gives Rocky a cheap pop

Rock: And not only that, but The Rock has finally returned to the big lights, to the grander stage, the big audience, the granddaddy of them all, The Rock is here in WrestleBowl!

Crowd pops.

Rock: And you now Leticia why The Rock is here, the people knows why The Rock is here, but maybe, and The Rock said maybe, they don’t know what I am going to do tonight. Excuse me…

The Rock grabs the microphone from Leticia Cline and takes it away from her hands.

Rock: You see, tonight, I go…no, let me change that. Tonight, Randy Orton goes one on one with the Great One.

Crowd cheers.

Rock: And Randy, all this time, all the past weeks you have ran your mouth, you have been telling everybody how you’re the Legend Killer and how you will kill the Legend of the People’s Champion here tonight. But you see Randy, if Hollywood was taught me something, is that nobody cares about the buildup, nobody remembers that. What they remember is the final product, the final imprint, and tonight Randy, when we step into that ring and we make our final imprint, everybody will never, and the Rock means never, remember you. If you smeeeeeeellllllll, what the …

Out of a sudden, a hand takes the microphone away from The Rock hands. The person steps into the scene and we see that he is Rikishi. The crowd cheers. Leticia quickly hands another microphone to The Rock

Rock: Sweet cream on an ice cream sandwich what are you doing?

Rikishi and the crowd laughs.

Rock: Uhhh, how you doing cousin?

Rikishi and The Rock hug.

Rikishi: Fine, just fine.

Rock: Well, I am telling you right now, if you ever do that again, if you ever interrupt The Rock again, The Rock will grab his boot shine up real nicely and…

Rikishi: Whoa whoa whoa, Rock, calm down, calm down. I just passed by and wanted to tell you thank you, thank you for all what you have been doing for me this couple of weeks, and specially thank you for the ass whopping you are going to give Randy Orton here tonight.

Crowd pops

Rikishi: No seriously, on my behalf, and on behalf…of the millions!

Crowd: AND MILLIONS.

Rikishi: of the Rock’s fans, thank you.

Rock: What in the blue hell was that all about?

Rikishi: I’m…

Rock: Nah nah, save it. The Rock doesn’t want no apologies from you. All The Rock and the people want from you is to do your part and layeth the smackdown on Crushing C’s candy ass!

Crowd pops.

Rock: Because as for the Rock is concerned, after my match with Randy Orton, there will be a massive, huge pile of monkey legend killing crap, and one Brahma Bull standing tall and raising his hand up high. If you smeeeeeelllll what The Rock….

Rikishi: …And Rikishi…

The Rock stares at Rikishi surprised at what he did.

Rock: Is cooking!

The Rock looks at Rikishi a little longer, before finally walking away. We go back to the announcers.



Styles: Is The Rock fired up or what?

JR: Yeah, and how about Rikishi.

JBL: They better be, because if they don’t, Randy Orton and our boss will tear each other apart.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

JR: But now ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for a longtime coming match, let’s take you back when business really picked up between Edge and Jeff Hardy.

Hardy: Last night, I told you that after I had won King of the Ring, a whole lot of opportunities would appear, and this one is just one of them. Yesterday, it was a dream to defeat Mr. Kennedy and become King of the Ring, but tonight, the dream could go on, it could go on all the way to me becoming the BTW World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleBowl.

Cline: With all the momentum you garnered from tonight, do you consider yourself a favorite in the Battle Royal?

Hardy: Well my body is pretty soared right now, and no, I don’t consider myself the favorite. People out there don’t think I am going to win the match, they put all the odds against me, but quite frankly, I like it that way, I like it that way because…

Out of a sudden and interrupting Jeff Hardy, The Rated R Superstar Edge steps into the scene and gets right in front of Hardy.

Edge: So, this is what you have to do to get some interview time around here? Be a complete mess and dye your hair in stupid fashion?


Edge: So yeah Jeff, better hold on to that dream of being King of the Ring and main eventing WrestleBowl, because after tonight, that’s all you will have left.

JBL: But out of all the matches, there is one, the crown jewel, that will shine above them all, lights will never be brighter, fans will never be louder, when you are in a World Championship at WrestleBowl

Edge rolls back to the inside of the ring coming from the apron and from under the bottom rope. He then dashes to the ring ropes on the other side of the ring and bounces back going toward both men. Jeff Hardy wants Edge all for himself, and so before he goes toward him, Hardy connects Orton with a toe kick to the middle section sending him even further away. Edge finally reaches Hardy, and Jeff is able to sidestep out of the way avoiding any contact. Edge is able to barely stop from sending himself over the top rope. Edge turns around and Hardy toes a middle kick to him, however Edge blocks it, only to get countered by Hardy as well who nails him with a Reverse Mule Kick, kicking Edge all the way over the top rope and to the outside of the ring.

Edge has been eliminated

Hardy: You know Jeremy, it’s been a weird week because, on one hand, I know that I am still the BTW King of the Ring, but on the other hand, I know that I was this close, this close to becoming the new BTW World Heavyweight Championship contender for WrestleBowl.

Borash: Yes, an amazing the contest the one we saw last week, and you this close to winning this match, that is quite and understatement as you were only over lasted in that match by the winner of that match, Brock Lesnar.

Hardy: It’s like that man, and it has always been like that. For Jeff Hardy it’s always to defy the odds. Brock, he wrestled a hell of a match, but the dude was the clear cut favorite entering the match. Me, instead, nobody believed in me, all my opponents in the match looked me down, all….

Crowd heavily boos as we see no other than Edge walk into the scene interrupting Hardy’s interview, just like he did last week.

Borash: Edge? Are you stalking Jeff or what?

Crowd laughs at Borash’s comment.

Edge: Why on Earth are you even talking Jeremy? Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, you just don’t get it do you? It’s not that nobody doesn’t believe in you, it’s that you don’t deserve to even be on the level you are right now, less to move on to an upper echelon.

Crowd boos.

Edge: Have you ever wondered why even if you have wrestled for over 15 years, you have never been World Champion? Hell, the biggest success you have ever achieved is drawing ten times and finally getting a fluke win over Kennedy. And, maybe you can help me with this Jeff but, why exactly is that? Is it because of your selection of extracurricular activities? Is it because you are simply a loser, or is it because…

The crowd boos heavily. Jeff Hardy, visibly angrier, shoves Borash away and gets right on Edge’s face.

Hardy: How’s Amy doing Edge? You owe me and my family big time, and dude, I will kick your ass in an instant!

Edge: Or…is it because of your wittiness to make this kind of comments on the worst of times. Jeff, you just don’t mess with me. AJ and CM Punk got warnings on when their names were added to the Rated R Hitlist, but with you, I am going to make an exception, but I’ll promise you this Jeff, one way or the other, I’ll take you out.

Edge and Jeff Hardy stare at each other. Edge finally walks backwards stepping away from the confrontation

We go backstage and we see Jeff Hardy in his locker room. His bag is right next to him on a bench. He takes from out of his bag a bottle of water, and he takes a zip out of it. Out of a sudden, two police officers enter the room.

Police Officer #1: Excuse me, are you Mr. Jeffrey Hardy?

Hardy: Yeah, that’s me.

Police Officer #1: Sorry to bother you sir but we have received an anonymous report that someone, who would be you, introduced an illegal substance into this arena.


Police Officer #2: I have found something.

The second police officer has a little jar filled with pills.

Police Officer #1: Nothing illegal uh? What are those?

Hardy: I, I don’t know…I have never sent that in my life, those aren’t mine, I swear, those aren’t mine.

Police Officer #1: You’ll have to come with us, now.

Before Hardy can even argue, the second police officer goes behind him and cuffs him.

Police Officer #1: Let’s go.

All three men leave the room. The second police officer guarding the cuffed Jeff Hardy and the first police officer analyzing the jar.

On the distance, hiding behind a wall, we see the figure of a man watching all this happen. The camera follows Hardy leaving and then zooms on the figure of the man. It’s Edge, who has a huge grin on his face

“Metalingus” plays to a lot of boos from the audience as smoke covers up the stage, and crossing the smoke no other than the Rated R Superstar appears, sporting red, black and grey camouflaged trunks and his characteristic black, long jacket. Edge stands on the stage, lifts his hands and a lot of pyro comes out. He then walks down the ramp and slides to the inside of the ring, climbs to the top rope and taunts to the crowd, getting a lot of boos from the audience.

JR: And let’s also take you back six days ago, when Jeff Hardy made a rather surprising appearance at the Cutting Edge.

Edge: This, this right here is all I need to get myself pumped up, unlike a certain “Charismatic Enigma”, who needs certain…substances to get ready for a match, or at least that’s what it seems, as he even had the nerve to introduce those substances into an official BTW rented arena.

Crowd starts a “You suck” chant.

Edge: But then again, you can’t totally blame him, I mean, he knew he was getting on the ring with me, and that, that pushed him to the edge, no pun intended. Now, Jeff, from the bottom of my heart, I truly hope that before this Sunday, when you know that you are in fact getting in the ring with me, going one on one with me, I hope you don’t do anything stupid, I pray to God you keep yourself clean so I can once and for all kick your ass, I expect…

The crowd pops heavily as Jeff Hardy comes sprinting down the ramp and slides into the ring. Edge tries to fight back but Hardy takes him down and starts nailing him with straight right hands to the head of his opponent. Hardy gets back to his feet and he takes his shirt off, then throws it to the crowd, taunting Edge and waiting for him to get back to his feet. Edge finally gets up, turns around and walks right into Hardy, who kicks him in the gut and sets him up for the Twist of Fate. Edge however is able to counter as he spins Hardy around, then kneels and nails a coward low blow. He then sets Hardy and connects him with the Impaler DDT.

JR: Oh come on, he can’t do it fair and square so he has to do things like this.

JBL: Everything is fair in love and war they say.

Edge grabs one of the ladders and he throws it on a corner, leaving it lying against it. He then grabs Jeff Hardy and drags him close to it, where he leaves him lying. Edge walks to the opposite corner and there he taunts for the Spear.

JR: Oh come on! That’s enough!

Hardy makes his way back to his feet and turns around, only to get speared by Edge right into the ladder set on the corner. Hardy immediately takes his hands to the lower back holding it in pain

“No More Words” plays to a rockstar reception from the crowd as Jeff Hardy highsteps his way into the stage. Jeff Hardy walks down the ramp saluting some fans before entering the ring and staring a hole at Edge in the opposite side of the ring.

Styles: A new theme song for Jeff Hardy, probably reflecting a new attitude starting tonight for the Charismatic Enigma.

JR: And after all what Edge has put him through…

JBL: Oh come on JR. Jeff Hardy is nothing more than a screw up and he will prove that here tonight.

As soon as the referee rings the bell, Jeff Hardy crosses the ring full speed toward Edge, obviously wanting a piece of him to get revenge. Hardy manages to knock Edge down to the canvas, and he proceeds to connect punch after punch right to the face of Edge. The referee has to step in into the action and take Jeff Hardy away from his opponent, and that way keep control of the match. He does just so, allowing Edge to get back to his feet. However, control doesn’t remain for a long time, as Hardy immediately dashes toward him and connects him with a clothesline, knocking Edge down to the canvas. Hardy waits for Edge to get back to his feet. The Rated R Superstar does so rather fast, only to get clotheslined again down to the mat. Hardy this time doesn’t let Edge catch a break and get back to his feet by his own terms. Instead, Jeff grabs Edge by the hair and pulls him back to his feet, then Jeff Irish Whops him toward the ring ropes. Edge bounces back but when the Charismatic Enigma tries to receive him with a clothesline, Edge is able to duck passing by. He crosses the ring and bounces to the opposite set of ring ropes. Edge comes right back toward Hady, who is standing in the middle of the ring waiting for him. Edge probably waited to get the offensive upperhand after he ducked the clothesline, however it is Hardy who gets so as he receives Edge with his Flashback. Jeff Hardy looks down to Edge and sees him already knocked out. Jeff screams and lifts his hands taunting to the crowd and immediately he walks toward the corner, then climbs to the top rope. It’s obvious Jeff Hardy is looking for an early Swanton Bomb, however Edge shows he has only playing possum so that he could get Jeff away from him and he rolls to the outside of the ring. Edge stands on the outside, with his hands on his waist and finally taking a breath. Jeff quickly climbs down from the top rope and goes out of the ring leaving on the opposite side that Edge did. Hardy sprints circling the ring, and when he gets closer to Edge, he leaps getting over the guard rail. Jeff Hardy dashes on the guard rail, and when he finally reaches the end of the rail, he dives right into the disconcerted Edge, connecting him with a Diving Clothesline. Hardy gets back to his feet and guides the Rated R Superstar up with him, then throws him back to the inside. Hardy slides following him and back on the inside of the squared circle, Jeff makes the cover: 1…2…, Edge is able to kick out hurling Hardy away. Jeff gets back to his feet and waits a little for Edge to do the same. The Rated R Superstar finally recovers his standing position, but turning his back on his awaiting executioner. Edge finally turns around and Jeff avalanches toward him raining a big amount of straight right hands on Edge.

Edge somehow is able to take every punch Jeff delivers, and staggers Jeff Hardy a few steps back when he drives his knee to the middle section of Hardy. Jeff shakes off the punishment and storms right back toward Edge, however this time the Rated R Superstar receives him with a Big Boot, planting it right on the jaw of his opponent, bringing him down to the canvas. Edge, now finding himself in control, stops and takes his time to taunt to the crowd, extending his arms as if asking the crowd to give him their hate. Edge finally goes back to work and he guides Jeff Hardy back to his feet. Having him again standing right in front of him, Edge starts picking Hardy down, connecting vicious haymakers right to the face of Jeff Hardy. Hardy however is able to answer back getting in a toe kick to the middle section. He then tries to continue his offense as Jeff attempts a clothesline, however the Rated R Superstar ducks the attempt letting Hardy pass by. Edge finds himself now with his back turned on the ring ropes. Edge however isn’t in any predicament so to speak and swings for a straight right hand, however Jeff Hardy blocks, then goes to connect another toe kick to the middle section. Edge however, having felt one of those kicks a few moments ago, is able to block the kick. That wasn’t enough though to keep Hardy down, as Jeff turns the situation into his favor as he connects his Reverse Mule Kick, hurling Edge away and literally kicking the Rated R Superstar to the outside of the ring rolling over the top rope. Edge lands hard against the concrete floor. Jeff Hardy immediately stares at him, waiting at him to do any movement so that he can do his next attack. Finally, after a couple of seconds, Edge starts getting back to his feet, putting one knee on the floor trying to use it as leverage. Hardy immediately crosses the ring going to the ring ropes behind him. Jeff bounces back crossing back the ring, then he grabs the top rope to propel himself into the outside aiming to connect a Somersault Plancha, however Edge steps out of the way letting Hardy crash and burn failing the maneuver, hitting his spine hard against the barely protected concrete floor. Hardy immediately takes his hand to his back, grinning in pain as Edge, standing right next to him, looks down on Hardy with a smile of satisfaction painted on his face. Edge doesn’t let Jeff recover and instead he guides him back to his feet. Edge drags him close to the guard rail, picks Jeff up and drops him spine first connecting a side suplex right into the guard rail. Edge looks up to the referee inside the ring and notices the count out the referee is making is already up to 7, and so he rolls to the inside of the ring, only to then roll back to the outside, breaking the count.

Edge, continuing the methodical pace he implemented into the match, slowly guides his opponent back to his feet. Edge measures Hardy and goes for a straight right hand, however Jeff is able to block it, then connects a punch of his own staggering Edge away. Edge slides back to the inside of the ring. Hardy climbs to the apron, however as he sees the Rated R Superstar crawling away from that side of the ring, Jeff quickly climbs down of the apron, runs circling the ring and climbs to another side of the ring, closer to where Edge is. The side of the ring is the one in front of the commentary tables. Hardy holds on to the top rope, waiting for Edge to get back to his feet. Edge finally climbs back to a standing position. Immediately Hardy propels up in the air trying to springboard, however Edge out of a sudden, in a display of speed, dashes toward Hardy and levels Jeff with a forearm strike right to the face, stopping his springboard attempts. Hardy remains groggy on the apron, now with his back turned to the inside of the ring and facing the announce tables. Edge quickly dashes to the ring ropes crossing the ring, then bounces back going through the ring again and finally hits Jeff Hardy with a tackle right to the spine, hurling Jeff Hardy all the way from the apron to the announcing table, where he lands right on the lap of Joey Styles, Jim Ross and JBL. Edge collapses down to his knees and crawls back to the middle of the ring as the referee starts counting Jeff Hardy out: 1…2…3…4…5…, Jeff starts showing signals of life, as he starts trying to incorporate, 6…7…, Hardy finally walks away from the announcing table, however he grabs his lower back in pain and falls down to the floor before reaching the ring: 8…9…, right on the nick of time to avoid getting counted out, Jeff Hardy jumps back to his feet and literally launches himself to the inside of the ring. However, Hardy throws himself directly into danger’s away, as right when he returns to the ring, Edge starts attacking him, putting the boots on Jeff stomping all over him. Edge flips Jeff over his belly and starts stomping the back of the Strange Enigma, continuing to focus his attacks on that body part. Edge then, to further the pain of Hardy, sits on his lower back, grabs Jeff’s head and effectively locks in a Camel Clutch. Edge’s eyes show his deranged mindset in this match, while Hardy’s eyes show the amazing amount of pain he’s being put through. The crowd starts getting more and more involved as they start a huge “Hardy” chant, trying to encourage their fan favorite into overcoming his backache and escape Edge’s Camel Clutch.

The chants seems to be doing their work, as Hardy indeed starts showing more signals of life and reliance , struggling to get out of the hold, however, right when Jeff Hardy is about to escape the maneuver by getting back to his feet, Edge lets his entire weight fell over the lower back of Jeff Hardy in a senton like attack, bringing Jeff down to the canvas and back to the Came Clutch predicament. However, this time Edge modifies it a little, as grabbing Jeff’s left arm, he also hoops up a Cobra Clutch. Hardy this time not only shows his pain with his eyes or the rest of his facial expressions. With this Cobra Clutch-Camel Clutch combination, Hardy finds himself screaming in pain, much to the delight of his aggressor, the Rated R Superstar Edge. The crowd doesn’t surrender with their cheers, and neither does Jeff Hardy, who starts crawling toward the ring ropes. Edge tries to stop it applying even more pressure to the maneuver, however it is to no avail as Jeff Hardy continues his way toward the ring ropes. Hardy manages to get a finger tip away from the ring ropes. Jeff tries to weaken Edge so that his mission of getting to the ropes becomes easier using his only free hand to hit Edge in the head, and finally he manages to hold on the bottom rope, forcing Edge to break the hold. Edge breaks the hold and steps back, letting Jeff Hardy get back to his feet while he awaits behind him. Hardy uses the ring ropes to slowly pull himself back up. Finally he fells ready enough to turn around and step back to the middle of the ring. However, his ring awareness is not exactly perfect thanks to all the attack he has gotten and he doesn’t realize Edge is waiting for him there. Edge sprints toward Hardy trying to connect a clothesline, however Jeff somehow snaps back to his senses and reverses the clothesline, first avoiding it, then trapping the arm of Edge, going behind him and connecting Edge with a Reverse Leg Sweep. Hardy rolls over his own head following the flow of the move and gets back to his feet. He then grabs both legs of Edge and performs his double leg roll up pin, putting Edge in a rather uncomfortable pinning situation: 1…2…, Edge manages to kick out. Jeff Hardy, still favoring his lower back, gets back to his feet, then pulls Edge up with him. Hardy quickly kicks Edge in the middle section getting him to bend in pain. Hardy then sets Edge up, looks behind to determine where exactly he is in the squared circle, and finally he connects a Snap Reverse Powerbomb. The crowd awes in astonishment, then the arena soaks into a mumble as the fans see Edge get planted face first right into the canvas.

Jeff Hardy, despite his backache, shows his reckless style as he walks toward the corner and climbs to the top rope, where he waits for Edge to get back to his feet. The Rated R Superstar, holding his jaw and a little shaky, finally recovers his standing position and slowly walks toward Jeff, who is waiting for him climbed on the top rope. Hardy finally launches himself from the top rope, however smartly Edge sprints toward the corner letting Jeff leap right into an empty pool, with nobody to connect. Hardy nonetheless shows his catlike abilities when he manages to land on his feet. Hardy turns around to face Edge, who before manages to lay a hand on Jeff, gets surprised by the Enigma who connects him with a Sitting Jawbreaker, staggering Edge back to the corner. Edge crashes spine first against the turnbuckle and falls to the canvas, ending up sitting against the turnbuckle. Hardy seizes the opportunity and he quickly dashes toward him looking to connect his dangerous rope aided corner dropkick. Edge however was playing possum as when Hardy is on the air just about to kick the chest of Edge, the Rated R Superstar rolls out of the ring letting Hardy crash and burn, failing the maneuver and falling flat on his back, almost turning on his head. Edge rushes back to the inside of the ring and makes the cover capitalizing on the again punished back of Jeff Hardy: 1…2…, Hardy somehow is able to kick out, keeping the match going. Edge seems frustrated about this. He gets back to his feet and staying on his opponent he brings hardy up with him, sets Hardy in an inverted facelock and finally drops Jeff neck first to the canvas connecting a Reverse DDT. Edge makes the cover: 1…2…, Hardy kicks out yet again, getting a big pop from the crowd and showing his resilience. The Rated R Superstar gets up to his knees, his face showing disbelief. Edge pulls his hair in anger, then he cannot control himself anymore and gets up and right on the face of the referee, arguing about how the match should be over already. After the official turns him down, Edge finally settles in on reality and refocuses on the match. Edge walks toward the corner, and taking a page out of Jeff Hardy’s book, he climbs to the top rope, where he waits for Hardy to get back to his feet. Edge is practically salivating, waiting like a predator on Jeff Hardy, the proverbial prey, to get caught. Jeff finally gets back to his feet, but he’s still turning his back on Edge. Hardy finally turns around, which prompts Edge from launch himself from the top rope into Jeff.

However, Jeff Hardy is able to react, and he receives the flying Edge with a kick to the gut. Jeff quickly sets Edge up and connects him with his sitout inverted suplex slam, ramming Edge into the canvas. Jeff turns Edge over his back and makes the cover: 1…2…, Edge kicks out. Hardy gets back to his feet and feeling he will be able to put the final nail on Edge’s coffin, he announces the end and starts taunting Edge, waiting for him to get back to his feet. Edge, disorientated and groggy, gets back to his feet turning his back on Jeff. However, for what Jeff is going to do, he needs Edge just like that. Jeff quickly grabs Edge and gets him in an inverted facelock and screams taunting to the crowd while extending his right arm, clearly announcing his uncharacteristic Reverse of Fate. Hardy swings Edge aiming to connect the maneuver; however Edge is able to block it by shoving Jeff away. Edge hurries, grabs Jeff by the neck and pulls him down, connecting his Edge-O-Matic. Edge gets back to his feet and almost by instinct he walks toward the corner, where he drops down and in characteristic fashion starts rabidly taunting Jeff for the Spear. Hardy, struggling to even remain on his feet, gets back up indeed. Edge immediately storms toward him looking to connect the Spear, however Hardy again shows his resourcefulness as he leapfrogs over Edge, letting him pass by under it right into the second turnbuckle, crashing and burning against it. Jeff Hardy rushes this time to avoid any last minute counter and in a cruel twist of irony he connects his rope aided corner dropkick right into the spine of Edge. The Rated R Superstar rolls in pain away from the corner, and ends up flat on his back. Jeff Hardy won’t let this opening pass and so he quickly climbs to the top rope. Jeff looks around the Ford Field taunting to the audience, then finally comes down into Edge, connecting his Swanton Bomb to an explosion of the arena. Hardy puts his arm across the chest of Edge: 1…2…, Edge puts his boot on the bottom rope. The referee realizes this right on time and breaks the pinfall. Jeff Hardy stares at the referee confused at what just happened, but it all becomes clear when the referee points at him Edge’s boot resting oln the rope. Hardy quickly gets back to his feet and grabbing Edge by the arm drags him further away from the ring ropes, deeper so to speak into the middle of the ring. Jeff rushes back into the corner and back to the top rope. Jeff looks down on Edge. He crowd is heavily cheering, knowing that the end for the Rated R Superstar is rather close. Hardy flies through the airs looking for his second Swanton Bomb on a row, however this time Edge reacts right on time and he rolls out of the way, letting Jeff crash and burn landing right on his back hurting it again.

Edge crawls back toward his opponent and makes the cover: 1…2…, Hardy kicks out yet again keeping the match going. Edge cannot believe it. His disbelief quickly turns into anger though, and he unleashes that anger on Hardy, as he starts blatantly choking him. The referee steps in and first he tries to physically take Edge away from Hardy, but when he fails, he starts counting Edge out: 1…2…3…4…, Edge breaks the hold. The Master Manipulator gets back to his feet and he walks right toward the referee. Edge, angrily, shoves the referee away. The official isn’t the least intimidated and he pushes Edge back, pushing him right into a barely conscious Jeff who taking advantage of the situation reaches in and rolls Edge up: 1…2…, Edge kicks out. Edge gets back to his feet angry. Jeff shows the roll up was indeed taking advantage of the situation and not signals of recovery as he doesn’t even move. Edge however makes sure of that with a vicious stomp right on the chest of Hardy. Edge gives the referee one last defiant look before picking Jeff Hardy up and bringing him up to his feet. Edge gets Jeff in a facelock and walks backwards toward the middle of the ring, dragging Hardy with him. Edge finally pulls Hardy attempting to hoist him up and connect a suplex, however Jeff reacts yet again and reverses the suplex into an inside cradle: 1…2…, Edge kicks out. Both men get back to their feet, Jeff gingerly does so, however his punished back doesn’t stop him from storming toward Edge, taking him down by the legs and performing a jackknife cover: 1…2…, Edge kicks out. Jeff crawls away, then both men get back to their feet. Immediately Jeff storms toward Edge and creates yet another pinfall situation, as he crucifix him and takes him down in a pinning position, shoulders against the canvas and legs in the air: 1…2…, Edge kicks out again. The crowd is getting hotter and hotter after each pinning predicament. Edge rolls over his head away from Jeff Hardy. Hardy gets back to his feet and steps back, taking impulse to probably run back toward Edge and either attack him or keep the trend of the last couple of minutes and perform yet another pinfall attempt. Edge finally gets back to his feet and immediately Hardy runs toward him. This time however, instead of Jeff going for another pinfall situation, Edge explodes toward the already running Charismatic Enigma and almost breaks in half as he connects an out of nowhere spear, immediately quieting the crowd. Edge gets up to his knees with a huge smile on his face, sinking in the hate of the fans with joy. The Ultimate Opportunist takes advantage of this opportunity and makes the cover hooking one leg: 1…2…, Jeff Hardy kicks out of the spear! Edge looks up to the official for a fraction of second, but quickly he remakes the cover, trying to end this by hooking both legs this time: 1...2…, Jeff Hardy kicks out for the second time. Jeff Hardy will simply not be put down in his attempt of getting revenge on the Rated R Superstar.

Edge gets back to his feet and brings Jeff up with him. Edge lets Hardy stand all by himself, and pokes fun in watching him struggle to remain standing. Edge finally dashes to the ring ropes behind him and bounces back looking for the second Spear on a row, but Jeff Hardy is able to avoid as he takes one little step to his right. Edge misses the move and passes flying close to Jeff, however thanks to the groggy state Jeff is in and because Hardy is not able to capitalize after that, Edge rather quickly gets back to his feet and continues running to the ring ropes in front of him, bounces back, crosses the ring and goes toward Jeff Hardy connecting him with a vicious spinning heel kick, almost decapitating the Charismatic Enigma. Edge gets back up and walks toward the corner, where once again he starts taunting for the Spear, waiting for Jeff Hardy to get back to his feet, eben though as of right now that seems to be a long shot. However, against all odds, Jeff Hardy starts getting back to his senses, indeed grabbing his back still in a huge amount of pain. Hardy turns around facing the corner Edge is, and the Rated R Superstar sprints toward him looking to Spear him for the second time, however Jeff keeps showing he is determined on not getting speared as he leapfrogs again over Edge, letting him pass under him missing the Spear. Hardy gets himself together and he runs toward the corner Edge originally came in. Meanwhile, Edge turns around and gets back to his feet, then he starts running behind Jeff. Jeff however has the upstart and he leaps to the second rope, then to the top and comes down on Edge connecting his Whisper in the Wind. Jeff effectively turned a Spear situation into connecting his Whisper on the Wind. Both men however remain knocked out next to each other, as Hardy hurts his back as well while connecting this maneuver. After a couple of seconds, both men start finally getting back to their senses and to their feet. Hardy is the first one to do so and immediately, trying to reinstate a fast pace in this match, runs toward the corner in front of him and comes down connecting a second Whisper in the Wind landing right into Edge, who unluckily had gotten back to his feet right on time to get blasted by this maneuver. Jeff Hardy makes the cover: 1…2…, Edge somehow manages to kick out of the two Whispers in the Wind, keeping the match going. Jeff Hardy pulls his hair back and his facial expressions depict his frustration, not being able to believe that Edge kicked out.

Hardy gets up to his feet and looks everywhere looking for an explanation, first to the fans and then to the referee, however he finally settles on the decision and goes to continue the match. Jeff Hardy finally picks his opponent back up and sets Edge in a facelock. He screams taunting to the crowd, and finally he goes to swing Jeff going for his Twist of Fate, however Edge shows in all the time that has passed he recovered, as he counters the Twist of Fate by shoving Hardy away, and he shoves it right into the referee, knocking him out cold. Jeff Hardy turns around in shock to what he did, walking right into Edge who kicks him in the middle section and connects him with his Impaler DDT. The Rated R Superstar makes the cover, but there’s no referee. Edge looks up looking for the official with a “sad puppy” expression on his face, not being able to believe that he had the match won but there was no referee. The Master Manipulator gets back to his feet and he walks toward the referee, picks him by the shirt and tries to shake him back into his senses, however it is to no avail as he’s out. Edge finally decides on taking advantage of the situation, as he walks to the outside leaving the ring. Edge yells at the timekeeper making him flinch. He then grabs the steel chair the timekeeper was sitting in and slides back to the inside of the ring, where he stares at Jeff Hardy with a demented look on his face while hoisting the steel chair up high. Slowly, looking pretty banged up, Jeff Hardy starts getting back to his feet, but when he fully does so, he turns his back on Edge. Jeff finally turns around, walking right into a chair shot to the ribs connect by the Rated R Superstar, making him first bend in pain, but then collapse down to his knees. Edge hoists the chair up high taunting to the crowd, then finally connects Jeff Hardy right in the spine, blasting him with the chair. Edge turns his head back checking if the referee has gotten back to his senses, but when he makes sure that’s not the case, Edge goes back to illegally attack Jeff Hardy with the steel chair, as he viciously blasts all over the humanity of the Rainbow Haired Warrior. Edge finally considers he has done enough damage and he throws the steel chair over the top rope to the outside of the ring. Edge then walks back toward the referee, picks his dead weight up and throws him close to Jeff Hardy. The referee recovers some senses thanks to the smash. Edge drops down to his knees and finally makes the cover on Jeff: 1…2…, somehow, despite all the punishment Jeff has suffered, he’s able to kick out! Edge cannot believe it; he gets literally beside himself, throwing a fit smacking his fist on the canvas, pulling his hair and screaming his lungs out in frustration.

Edge gets back to his feet and angrily walks toward the corner, where he drops down to a squat position, taunting Jeff Hardy and waiting him to get back to his feet. It takes a while, but finally the Rainbow Haired Warrior starts getting back to his senses and struggles to get back to his feet. His backache has kicked in one more time, mostly due to the steel chair attack. Jeff incorporates at last, first putting one knee on the canvas and using it as leverage gets back to his feet. The Rated R Superstar jumps on his spot, anxiously waiting for Jeff to turn around. Hardy finally does so, which prompts Edge to cross the ring full speed going toward Jeff, however, Hardy, one could guess thanks to the instincts activating, manages to stop Edge as he kicks him in mid run right in the sternum. Jeff Hardy then grabs Edge and finally connects him with the very much attempted Twist of Fate. The crowd explodes thanks to this massive tide shift; Hardy remains floored on the canvas next to the knocked out Edge. Slowly, but surely, Jeff crawls toward the corner. After about four seconds, he reaches here, pulls himself up using the ring ropes and climbs to the top rope. Up high, Jeff announces the end by doing his classic Gunz taunt, and finally launches himself from the top flying through the airs and connecting the second Swanton Bomb in the match. Jeff makes the cover: 1…2…3.

Result: Jeff Hardy defeats Edge


JR: He did it! Bah Gawd, after weeks of mental punishment, finally Jeff Hardy gets revenge on Edge and beats him here at WrestleBowl.

JBL: And you’re happy? We just had a former World Champion, one of our top guys, beaten by a screw up.

JR: Well, after tonight’s victory, one could argue how much of a screw up Jeff Hardy truly is.

Styles: I bet Edge won’t be the one doing the arguing.


Jeff Hardy taunts to the audience in the middle of the ring, celebrating his victory and enjoying the pop from the crowd.



We go backstage, into Triple H’s locker room. Triple H gets greeted with a big amount of heat from the Detroit fans. The boos become even louder when no other than former BTW Continental Champion Christian Cage walks into the room. Cage is still sweaty.

HHH: Hey Chris, I’m sorry but, this is not the right time for whatever you want to say, please, just please, make it quick.

Cage: I just wanted to come in here and, for old times’ sake, you know, Domination tag team, alliance, BTW Tag Champions, and the huge amount of respect we two have for each other…

HHH: Yeah, what?

Cage: I wanted to warn you. I just lose my, my (Cage seems to get watery eyes), my precious BTW Continental Championship, and I just wanted to tell you to not held anything back tonight, not even if you’re facing Brock Lesnar because, you never know when something like this can happen to you.

HHH: So let me get this straight, uhmm, you’re telling me, me, to not held anything back tonight?

Cage: Yes.

HHH: And you are warning me about how maybe, maybe I might lose my World Championship to Brock Lesnar?

Cage: I’m glad you understood.

HHH: Well Christian, I might go on and give you a thousand reasons why all you said was wrong but, I have a main event to get ready for, so I’ll just tell you the main reason why you lost your championship and I won’t. I’m the Game, nights like this, nights like tonight, I am made for them, I live for nights like this.

Crowd boos.

HHH: And unlike Brock Lesnar, and apparently you, I know what needs to be done to walk out the winner in nights like this, and I’m willing to do so.

A small “Brock” chant breaks from the crowd.

HHH: So Christian, how about you save those tips for somebody who needs them uh?

Triple H gets up and pads Christian in the back.

HHH: Feel yourself at home.

Triple H walks out of his locker room leaving Christian Cage behind.



Styles: It sure seems as if Triple H is ready for his title match.

JBL: Didn’t you hear him Joey? He lives for nights like tonight. Real champions do.

Styles: But that is our main event, later on tonight. Next, we have a match that, well, JR might call it Old School vs New School.

JR: Damn right I would call it like that, it’s The Undertaker, the Demon of Death Valley, facing the brash, arrogant, but extremely talented, MVP.

We go backstage and we see Crushing C sat on his office, behind his desk reading some papers. The door is heard snapping open and a man power walks right toward him. It is MVP.

Crushing C: May I help you?

MVP: Can you help me? Damn sure you can help me. You see, week after week you say you are the one in control around here and that you intend on run BTW the best way it could be run, right?

Crushing C: Yes sir.

MVP: Well, I don’t see how it could be good business to have forty year old “supernatural” hack run over the future of this company week after week after week. First, it was Muhammed Hassan, and…

Crushing C: You’re talking about The Undertaker right?

MVP: Of course I am talking about Undertaker man! He took out Muhammed Hassan.

Henry gets up to the apron, going to enter the ring. The referee notices it and attempts to come close to him to stop his attempts, however that is not necessary as he is not the only one that has noticed the World Strongest Man’s presence. The Undertaker moves toward him and nails him with a big straight right hand stopping the advance of Henry. He then grabs Henry by the throat, going to Chokeslam him down to the outside of the ring. Behind his back, Muhammed Hassan has recovered and gotten back to his feet. Hassan looks at the scene happening in front of his eyes and he tries to intervene, as he storms full speed toward it. However, The Undertaker seemingly has eyes on the back of his neck, as he sidesteps right on the nick of time avoiding any contact, and instead he lets Muhammed Hassan continue his dash until clashing with his associate Mark Henry, knocking Mark down of the apron. Hassan stares in shock at Henry floored on the outside of the ring. He turns around still distracted from what just had happened, and he walks right into The Undertaker, who lifts him and sets him up, then moves to the center of the ring and there he connects him with the Tombstone Piledriver. He makes his classic cover: 1…2…3.

Result: The Undertaker defeats Muhammed Hassan

God knows where he could be now. Last night, he took out my man, my friend Elijah Burke.

Elijah reaches the corner and he pulls himself back to his feet, then climbs to the top rope, where he waits for The Undertaker to get back to his feet. The Deadman does so, then turns around and gets in front of the corner where Elijah Burke is. Burke flies through the air and connects The Undertaker with a flying crossbody plancha, that lands perfectly on its mark. However, once in the canvas, The Undertaker rolls into the maneuver, then showing his brute strength, and having Burke in position, just gets back to his feet lifting Burke. Taker then sets him up, and drops him over his head connecting him with the Tombstone Piledriver. Taker makes the RIP cover: 1…2…3.

Result: The Undertaker defeats Elijah Burke

And earlier tonight, he may have taken out years out of the career of AJ Styles.



AJ dashes toward the ring ropes and he, as soon as The Undertaker gets fully back to his standing position, springboards flying all the way over Taker himself and landing right behind The Deadman. AJ secures Taker’s head and apparently he’s going to go for his patented Reverse DDT, however this time, having secured Taker, he lifts him getting him in position for a Tombstone Piledriver of his own. But before AJ Styles is able to connect it humiliating his opponent, Taker reverses throwing his weight onto the body of AJ Styles flipping the situation and ending with him standing on the canvas with AJ Styles in the Tombstone Piledriver position. Taker drops to his knees connecting it. Taker makes the RIP cover: 1…2…3.

Result: The Undertaker defeats AJ Styles

And I am just saying, you, or someone capable for that matter, needs to do something about it.

Crushing C gets up from his seat and stares at MVP.

Crushing C: So you came into my office, worried about The Undertaker having a winning streak over the young future of BTW, and you want somebody to deliver justice and as you might say, stop the madness?

MVP: That’s exactly what I am talking about.

Crushing C: Fair enough. I’ll do something about it, in fact, I’ll tell you what I will do right now. I know the one person that can do something about, and, consider it an official announcement, that person will go one on one with The Undertaker six weeks from now at WrestleBowl.

MVP: That’s great. Who is he? Is he here? I mean, I…

Crushing C: It’s you MVP. You will face The Undertaker at WrestleBowl in hopes of your revenge.

MVP tells AJ Styles to incorporate The Undertaker. AJ does exactly that and brings Taker up to his knees. MVP storms toward him and nails him with a straight shot to the face with the chair. Blood starts pouring down from the face of the Deadman. AJ Styles grabs the chair and tells MVP he also wants to punish Taker. He puts the chair in front of his own chair and performs a moonsault, landing over The Undertaker, driving the chair right onto the chest of Taker on the process. MVP stares at AJ and taunts for a kick.

JR: Would you stop it already?


MVP walks toward his corner and waits for Taker to somehow start recovering. To a big pop from the crowd, and showing his resilience, Taker, after a couple of seconds of struggling, puts one knee on the canvas trying to get himself together. AJ puts the chair in front of his face, and MVP storms toward him, connecting Taker with the Drive-By-Kick, driving the steel chair directly into the face of The Undertaker.

Crushing C: May justice be served!

Taker enters the ring and immediately he storms toward Edge and nails him across the throat with a leg drop. Taker makes the cover: 1…2…, MVP enters the ring and kicks Taker on the back, breaking the pinfall. The Undertaker however doesn’t seem weakened by the kick, as he just gets back to his feet and gets right on the face of MVP. MVP tries to explain himself to Taker, but instead he just prefers to quickly flee out of the ring avoiding any confrontation, non the less, The Undertaker wants a piece of MVP tonight and he gets out of the ring as well and starts following MVP up the ramp. Porter notices it and he dashes up the ramp and goes to the back. Slowly The Undertaker walks up the ramp in pursuit of Porter again.

“I’m Coming” breaks through the PA system, welcoming two rows of people coming out the stage. On the right, a group of street dancers, dressed with basketball jerseys and jeans, and the left row is of cheerleaders. They walk down the ramp, leaving the stage open for one man. Montel Vontavious Porter finally comes out, with a brand new black and gold attire. MVP walks down the ramp fired up, then he makes his classic taunt squatting and slapping the floor, then getting back to his feet, letting out a big amount of pyro. MVP finally enters the ring, where he continues taunting to the crowd.

JBL: What an entrance! I’m telling you, we better start putting the franchise tag on this kid.

Styles: It was great alright, but he will need more than a flashy entrance to defeat The Undertaker.

JR: No doubt about it.


“The Darkest Side” plays after a gong that gets the crowd going. Another gong sounds getting the crowd even more fired up. Smoke starts covering the stage and the ramp, while fire starts blasting on the stage, reaching maybe 5 or 6 feet high. The Undertaker finally appears on the stage, and starts his slow walk down the ramp. Taker doesn’t remove his eyes out of MVP, who tries his best to hide his intimidation. The Undertaker reaches the steel steps and with a movement in his hand he brings the Ford Field’s lights back on. The Undertaker enters the ring, which finally makes MVP crumble down and slide to the outside of the ring. Taker takes out his jacket and hat and then gives them to the referee. After this, The Undertaker stares a hole at MVP, who looks at him back from the outside of the ring.

As soon as the referee rings the bell, The Undertaker turns into attack mode, fists in front os facr and stepping towards MVP. Porter slowly backs down, looking for a place to defend himself, but instead he slowly walks toward a corner, trapping himself. Porter’s back finally enters in contact with the turnbuckle, and seeing The Deadman in front of him reading to swing, Porter realizes he’s in a huge amount of problems. The Undertaker finally swings going for a straight right hand, but MVP manages to duck the attempt letting Taker miss. MVP escapes his predicament by going under the arm of Taker, getting away from the corner. The Undertaker turns around and continues advancing towards MVP. Porter again starts backing down, not wanting to get Taker close to him. It doesn’t take long before he closes the ring and MVP finds himself against the opposite corner. The Undertaker swings for a punch on his cornered opponent, only to get blocked by Montel Vontavious Porter. MVP then answers back and connects a big straight right. Porter gets motivated by this attack and continues it, repeatedly rambling the brains of the Deadman, straight right hand after straight right hand. MVP goes to continue his found offense as he crosses the ring dashing toward the ring ropes behind him. MVP comes right back going after Taker, however it is indeed Taker the one who reacts first as he receives MVP with a clothesline, knocking Montel down to the canvas. The crowd cheers as The Undertaker picks MVP back to his feet and throws him toward the corner. There, Taker starts unloading his classic and well known soup bones, knocking the taste right off the mouth of MVP with direct punches to the jaw. Taker then mixes them up with body shots, taking also the air out of the body of Taker, and he ends the flurry with a knife like uppercut. The Undertaker steps backwards, away from the corner creating some space between Porter and himself. MVP dazedly staggers from the corner right into Taker, who receives him with a Big Boot right to the face, knocking him down to the canvas. The Undertaker makes the cover: 1…2…, MVP kicks out. The Undertaker gets back to his feet, and grabbing MVP by the head he guides MVP up with him. Taker weakens Porter first with a big punch to the head, then Taker Irish Whips MVP to the corner. MVP crashes against the turnbuckles spine first, letting out a growl when his body impacts the pads covering the steel of the turnbuckles. The Undertaker walks toward the opposite corner in which MVP is laid against, taking impulse.

Taker finally storms toward MVP, dashing through the ring in attempts of squashing the cornered MVP and drain the few air Montel’s body could have left. However, MVP, in a last minute reaction for his self preservation, sticks his boot on the way of the Deadman, letting Taker run head first into the foot. The Undertaker hurls back holding his jaw in pain. MVP immediately fully incorporates out of the corner into his vertical standing, getting back his arrogant and confident swagger. MVP runs towards Taker looking to attack him now that he’s weak, however The Undertaker reacts first as he picks MVP up in mid run and then just drops him down to the canvas in a scoop slam. Immediately, Undertaker runs to the ring ropes on his right, bounces back and connects MVP with a leg drop across his throat. For good measures, Undertaker gets back to his feet and repeats the punishment, as he dashes to the ring ropes, bounces back and connects a second leg drop. The Undertaker makes the cover: 1…2…, MVP kicks out again. The Undertaker gives one intimidating look to the referee, making him flinch, before continuing his offense. Taker gets back to his feet and grabbing MVP by the head he brings him up with him. Taker grabs the right arm of Porter and spins it over his own head performing an arm twist, and testing the resilience of MVP’s clavicle in the process. Taker floats his hold into a hammerlock, then back again into the original position. The Undertaker finally tries to Irish Whip Porter, however MVP is able to block the attempt putting on the breaks. Taker pulls MVP again trying to Irish Whip him, but one more time Montel blocks. MVP finally is able to turn the situation into his favor as using his other arm, the left arm, pulls Taker toward him and right into his knee, blowing the air out of the body of the Deadman. MVP, now in control, doesn’t let The Undertaker go, and instead he pulls Taker toward himself one more time, punishing his ribs yet again as MVP punishes them with his right knee. Porter lets the arm of The Undertaker go letting him free, bended in pain holding his gut. MVP goes to continue his offense as he dashes to the ring ropes behind him, then bounces connecting a hard, violent kick right to the sternum of the bended Undertaker. However, and in an unexpected twist of events, Taker just stands up, apparently not feeling the kick. MVP’s expression reflects his fear as he sees The Undertaker staring back at him, seemingly recovered. MVP waves his hands at The Undertaker, trying to show that he doesn’t want any confrontation; however he then tries to outsmart Taker and throw a sucker punch at the Deadman.

The Undertaker however blocks the punch, the answers back by grabbing MVP by the throat. The Undertaker rotates while choking Taker so that he faces the middle of the ring, in a clear sign that he will be looking to Chokeslam his opponent, however MVP manages to get out of the predicament with a toe kick to the middle section. The kick hits in a region very, very near to the beltline. MVP then lashes out connecting a clothesline, rolling The Undertaker over the top rope sending him to the outside of the ring. However, Taker is able to land right on top of his feet, then looks up to Porter to the inside of the ring. MVP tries to run away from Taker, however he isn’t fast enough and instead Undertaker grabs his legs from the outside of the ring. The Deadman pulls MVP, bringing MVP with him to the outside of the ring. Taker weakens MVP with straight right hands, then Taker mixes them up with headbutts. Taker then grabs MVP by the arm and he Irish Whips MVP toward the steel steps, against the which Montel crashes shoulder first. Taker then, slowly, enjoying the slow rhythm he has been able to impose in the match, a rhythm in which he can pick MVP apart, brings Porter back to a standing position. The Undertaker nails a huge knife like uppercut, hurling MVP away. MVP staggers away and landing right over the apron. The Undertaker spins MVP around, in such a way that Porter’s head sticks out on the apron while his legs are inside the ring. The Undertaker walks away from MVP creating some distance between the two. Taker finally storms toward MVP and then nails him with a huge elbow right to the face. Taker stops his run, turns around, and returns to the spot in which he started his dash. The Undertaker climbs to the apron using the steel steps. Taker then runs on the apron and connects MVP with a huge leg drop across the throat, in vintage Undertaker fashion. MVP slims down to the outside of the ring. Taker jumps down from the apron, picks up Montel Vontavious Porter and throws him to the inside of the ring. The Undertaker follows him sliding to the interior of the squared circle. There, The Undertaker makes the cover: 1…2…, MVP is able to kick out. Taker takes his hair out of his face before looking up to the referee. He then gets back to his feet and picking MVP by the head guides him back to a standing position. He then grabs Montel by the arm and he Irish Whips MVP to the corner. The Undertaker jogs to the opposite corner, runs in a full circle ending in a straight dash toward the cornered Montel Vontavious Porter. This time MVP isn’t able to fight out of this predicament, as Undertaker connects him with a Running Body Splash.

The Undertaker jogs away and repeats the procedure, turning around in a full circle and storming right back toward MVP, squashing him with a second consecutive Running Corner Body Splash. Taker creates some distance stepping away, this time turning his back on MVP. Porter, groggy and dazed, staggers back going right into the Demon of Death Valley, who picks him up in classic position to connect him with a Sidewalk slam, however, and in a huge feat of strength, he rotates MVP while in his hold getting him now instead over his right shoulder. The Undertaker immediately turns around and explodes toward the corner, letting MVP fell flat on his face in the turnbuckle connecting Snake’s Eyes. In classic fashion, The Undertaker explodes to the ring ropes behind him, bounces back coming toward MVP, however, Porter shows he did his homework and breaks the classic Snake’s Eyes-Big Boot routine as he drives his right elbow right to the face of the Deadman. The Undertaker staggers back from this collision, holding his jaw and turning around. MVP shakes off the cobwebs, gets himself back together and storms toward Taker, connecting him with his Single Knee Facebuster, knocking The Lord of Darkness down to the canvas. MVP makes the cover: 1…2…, The Undertaker kicks out. MVP immediately, not easily going to let Taker recover the driver’s seat cools down the match as he locks him in a Reverse Chinlock, in an attempt to drain the energy and momentum out of The Deadman. Undertaker’s facial expressions immediately change, as he gets his energy supply cut out. The crowd gets behind the Deadman with cheers, and they event start a chant on their name, however what they get is MVP wrapping his legs around the body of Undertaker to even apply more pressure to the entire body of The Undertaker. MVP is heard saying at The Undertaker “come on boy, come on deadman, get out of this, get out of this you son of a bitch”, while he continues applying the Chinlock. This, combined with the chant of the crowd trying to motivate him, get Taker to take apart the legs of MVP from his body, at least freeing himself from half of the punishment. Then The Undertaker, slowly but surely, starts getting back to a standing position, not mattering that MVP has still his arms wrapped around his neck. Finally, The Undertaker recovers his standing position, MVP behind him still applying punishment with his Reverse Chinlock, although not to much effect now. The Undertaker storms going backwards to the corner behind him. With this, Taker shows how much of a ring general he is and the incredible amount of ring awareness he possesses as he can’t actually see the corner he’s running to. Taker finally crashes against the corner, although in fact it is MVP who does the crashing, fulfilling Taker’s strategy as it forces the Half Man, Half Amazing performer to break the hold.

The Undertaker waits for MVP to stagger back from the corner. Porter finally does so and he gets hooked and set by the Deadman, who then takes him down connecting an STO. The Undertaker makes the cover: 1…2…, MVP is able to kick out keeping the match going. The Undertaker, using his right arm, picks MVP and brings him back to his feet, however out of a sudden MVP snaps and attacks Taker kicking The Deadman to the back of the knee bringing him down. MVP doesn’t release the arm of Taker and instead he locks him in a Keylock. MVP again uses this opportunity to badmouth The Undertaker, this time insulting him, mad for being STOed down to the canvas. The Undertaker however, being in control just a few seconds away is still fresh, and so with rather ease gets back to his feet and using his left arm – the free arm-, snapmares MVP over his shoulder down to the canvas, after dropping down to his own knees. Both men get back to their feet, but it’s MVP the first to react as he connects a low dropkick right to the knee, making The Undertaker collapse back down to the canvas. Immediately, MVP continues attacking his newfound target as he locks in Armbar with Leg Scissors. The Undertaker searches for a way out, however this it’s harder as MVP has this maneuver better synched in. Finally, Taker is not able to create any opposition and has no other option but to take the punishment. After about ten seconds of applying the maneuver, finally MVP lets the hold go, floats over Taker and makes the cover, hooking one leg with his left arm and putting his right forearm right on the face of Taker: 1…2…, The Undertaker kicks out. MVP cannot believe it. He gets back to his feet and stares at the referee, then gets right on the face of him. MVP finally gets back to work on his opponent as he pulls Taker by the hair and lifts him back to a standing position. MVP however doesn’t keep Taker like that much longer as he quickly snapmares The Undertaker down to the mat. Taker ends up sitting on the canvas, which allows Montel Vontavious Porter to hit a hard soccer like kick to the spine of The Undertaker. Taker breaks down, falling to the canvas growling in pain while taking his right hand back to his spine. MVP rushes and he makes the cover: 1…2…, Taker kicks out. MVP remakes the cover, putting his weight over the entire body of Taker as MVP lays over him: 1…2…, The Undertaker again kicks out keeping the match going. MVP gets quickly back to his feet and taking advantage of the position The Undertaker is still in, he nails a jumping knee drop to the extended right arm of Taker, punishing it again. MVP tests waters and makes another cover: 1…2…, Taker kicks out yet again.

The crowd suddenly explodes with a huge “Taker” chant, railing behind their favorite and trying to get The Deadman motivated and back into the match. MVP acknowledges the chants and he gets back to his feet, looking around the Ford Field visibly pissed at the chants. MVP stands in the middle of the ring badmouthing at the fans. He ends his mouth diarrhea by saying “look at this”. MVP picks up The Undertaker and he sets him up for the Playmaker. MVP however doesn’t go immediately for it, instead he talks trash for a little bit longer. MVP finally goes for the Playmaker, but when he does the rotation part of the maneuver, The Undertaker counters by digging under and creating an arm twist, which then transitions into grabbing MVP by the throat, getting him ready for the Chokeslam. MVP’s facial expressions show his fear and desperation, but he manages to slither out with a kick to the middle section. MVP then quickly slides to the outside of the ring, turning his back to the ring and The Undertaker, taking a break while asking for a time out. The crowd heavily boos MVP’s actions, but what The Undertaker does is measure him. Taker finally crosses the ring dashing to the ring ropes behind, bounces from the ropes crossing back the ring and finally leaps over the top rope in spectacular fashion. MVP turns around on the worst time possible, right to get connected with a suicide dive over the top rope. Air Deadman connects perfectly. The Undertaker gets back to his feet and picks MVP back to his own, then throws Porter back to the inside of the ring. The Undertaker follows him, and back on the inside of the squared circle he makes the cover: 1….2…, MVP kicks out. The Undertaker gets back to his feet and grabs MVP by his right arm. By that arm, Taker pulls MVP and lifts him back to a vertical standing. Taker twists the arm of MVP, then to a big pop from the crowd walks backwards to the corner. Taker slowly climbs to the second rope, where then, a little gingerly, but surely, steps upwards to the top rope, walks over the top rope and comes down looking to impact MVP and complete Old School, however MVP interrupts the maneuver as he pulls The Undertaker out of the top rope. Taker gets pulled down from the top rope, but in mid air he manages to counter the counter of MVP, turning the situation into an arm drag of his own. The Undertaker gets up to his feet and lifts his right hand, announcing MVP’s Last Ride is about to come. Taker stares at MVP menacingly, waiting for Porter to get back to his feet. MVP slowly gets back to his feet, turning his back on The Undertaker. MVP finally turns around, walking right into the awaiting Demon of Death Valley.

Taker immediately kicks MVP in the gut and sets him up for The Last Ride. He then hoists MVP up, getting him just moments away from being dropped from the Penthouse all the way down to the basement, if not worst, hell. But Montel right on the nick of time is able to counter, as he jumps right out from the grasp of Taker, landing over his two feet behind Taker. MVP grabs the neck of the Deadman attempting for a neckbreaker, however Taker blocks it, and then counters rotating his standing base. Taker then grabs MVP and taking advantage of the newly created position, Undertaker locks him in the Dragon’s Sleeper. Taker’s face shows nothing more than pure evil. MVP struggles to fight out of the maneuver, but the Undertaker has it to well applied, and there doesn’t seem to be a way out. The referee, when he realizes Porter is apparently out, picks his arm, lifts it up in the air and lets it fell, not getting a reaction. The referee announces one and repeats the procedure, picking the arm of Montel and letting it fell. For the second time he doesn’t get a reaction. The referee lets everyone know this would be the last time he does this, as if MVP doesn’t react to this, the match ends and the winner of this match is The Undertaker, getting a big ovation from the Motor City rabid fans. The official lifts the arm of MVP shows he was just playing possum as when the referee lifts his am MVP takes his hand to the face of The Undertaker and sticks his fingers right on the eyes of the Deadman, forcing Taker to let him go. MVP crawls away and gets back to his feet. The Undertaker, mad at what Porter just did, storms toward MVP trying to attack him, only to get Over the head Belly-to-Belly suplexed. On the landing, Taker’s legs hit the ring ropes, hurting Taker’s calves. MVP drags Taker to the middle of the ring, then, before he makes the cover, in a completely unnecessary and malicious attack, MVP stomps the right arm of The Deadman, reactivating the pain on that body limb. Montel Vontavious Porter finally makes the cover: 1…2…, Taker somehow kicks out, keeping the match going. MVP gets back to his feet and loudly screams “WHAT!”, shocked at Undertaker still kicking out after all the punishment he has taken during the match. MVP gets back to his feet and immediately leaps, landing over Taker’s face connecting a jumping knee drop. MVP gets back to his standing position badmouthing Taker. We get a zoom on his face and we see that he’s saying “there you go you dead son of a bitch, I’m MVP damn it, half man half amazing”. Immediately MVP looks around the arena, and an arrogant smile flashes on his face, depicting his intentions on what to do next. Montel Vontavious Porter dashes to the ring ropes behind him and comes right back toward the floored Taker.

MVP out of a sudden, right when he reaches where Taker is, stops his dash, looks up to the fans and does his “Ballin’ ” taunt, while yelling likewise. MVP goes to complete the maneuver by dropping his elbow right into the heart of The Deadman, however right when he’s about to do so, The Undertaker sits up, much to the fear of MVP. Porter however gets himself together and quickly ends, as he walks and gets right in front of The Undertaker and kicks him right in the face, knicking him down to the canvas. After that, MVP is able to complete his maneuver by connecting the elbow drop. MVP makes the cover: 1…2…, Taker once again kicks out! MVP cannot believe it. This time he gets beyond himself, blatantly yelling at the referee, conCrushing Cd at how he should have won the match already. Porter finally settles with the decision of the referee and goes back to attack his opponent. MVP picks his opponent and guides him back to his feet. Porter grabs the arm of The Undertaker and hits clubs on it, hurting it again. Montel then Irish Whips The Undertaker to the corner, against the which Taker crashes spine first. Montel Vontavious Porter walks toward the opposite corner, then there he starts taunting The Undertaker, taunting The Deadman in classic fashion, announcing the Player’s Boot. Taker crosses the ring at full speed looking to imprint his boot on the face of The Undertaker. However, out of nowhere, Taker steps forward and outfastening MVP before Porter himself is able to connect his Player’s Boot, The Deadman grabs Montel by the throat. The Undertaker doesn’t waste any time and he quickly picks MVP up in the air and drops him to the canvas connecting his Chokeslam. Taker drops down to his knees, then fells on top of Montel making the cover: 1…2…, MVP manages to kick out. The Undertaker gets slowly back to his feet and when he finally does so, Taker announces the end as he passes his thumb across his throat, in clear signal that the Tombstone Piledriver is coming. MVP slowly gets back to his feet, visibly feeling the effects of the received Chokeslam. Groggily, Porter walks right into The Deadman, who hoists him up and goes to set him in position. However, before Taker gets him fully ready for the Tomstone Piledriver, Porter slides down of the grasp of the Deadman, landing behind Taker over his two own feet. MVP grabs The Undertaker by the back of the head, then MVP storms toward the corner on his right, driving The Deadman head first right in the turnbuckle. MVP jogs away from the corner with a cocky grin on his face, while Taker grabbing his face in pain spins on the corner putting his back against the turnbuckles.

MVP stops on the opposite corner in which Taker is, and for the second time in the match, he taunts announcing the Player’s Boot. Montel finally storms crossing the ring, this time Taker isn’t able to counter, and gets his face kicked almost inwards by MVP. Porter viciously leaves his boot on the face of Taker after the kick, not removing it immediately as usual. After a couple of seconds of adding insult to injury, MVP finally retrieves his foot, punishing the face of Taker as he does so. MVP walks away letting The Undertaker crumble down to the canvas, first to his knees and then completely flat down. Porter stares at the floored Deadman with a huge smile on his face, and again he starts taunting The Undertaker, waiting for him to get back to his feet so that MVP gives Taker the final blow. Taker slowly shows signals of life, as he tries to get back to his feet putting his left knee on the canvas. Not knowing so, Taker just gave MVP his cue. Montel Vontavious Porter crosses the ring at full speed and nails The Undertaker with his Drive By Kick, kicking Taker right on the jaw. MVP gets up to his knees and taunts to the crowd celebrating what indeed seems as is victory, lifting his arms up in the air. Finally, Porter crawls toward Taker and makes a rather confident cover: 1…2…, Taker somehow kicks out! Montel Vontavious Porter turns his head and looks at t Phenom right to the eyes, shocked at the resilience of The Undertaker. MVP then remakes the cover, hooking both Taker’s legs this time: 1…2…, The Undertaker again kicks out, keeping the match going. Montel gets back to his feet and attempts to walk toward the referee and argue him about the count, however quickly the referee shoves him away turning him down. Montel looks down to the Undertaker. His facial expressions show that he doesn’t know what to do next. And that isn’t really strange, as MVP has already connected Taker with the Player’s Boot, his Facebuster and his Drive By Kick and The Undertaker still manages to keep coming back, kicking out of each pinning predicament. MVP takes his hands to his face in clear signals of frustrations, but it all gets interrupted by one single action: The Undertaker somehow manages to sit up! MVP and The Undertaker hook eyes, entering in a very intense staredown, filled from uncertainty coming from MVP, and anger on behalf of the Demon of Death Valley. MVP has no other choice but to continue his offense on the now conscious Undertaker. Porter first kicks the sitting Taker straight on the right shoulder, punishing it yet again. MVP picks up The Undertaker and guides him back to his feet. Montel then, looking a little hesitant, grabs Taker by the right arm and goes to Irish Whip, aiming to send him against the corner.

However, The Undertaker is able to block, and then counter this attempt, and instead he’s the one who sends MVP toward the corner. Montel crashes against the turnbuckles chest first, then staggers back hurt grabbing his chest. MVP turns around right when reaching the spot where Taker is standing waiting for him, which allows Taker to hoist him up, set him, and then to a big pop from the crowd, drop him straight over his head connecting Tombstone Piledriver. The Undertaker crosses MVP’s hands over his chest while Taker sticks out his tongue: 1…2…3.

Result: The Undertaker defeats MVP


Styles: And this one will go to The Undertaker.

JBL: I hate it. Undertaker is on top of his game, he’s never been better than right now, but by god, I hate it, and he might just have ended the career of MVP.

JR: I doubt that. MVP certainly has a bright future and he brought the fight to the Deadman.

JBL: But one thing is granted, MVP will never, ever be the same.



The Undertaker paces around the ring looking around the arena, which allows the referee to roll MVP out of the ring. Taker then has the entire squared circle at his disposal. The Demon of Death Valley drops down to his left knee. Simultaneously, all lights except a neon blue one turn off. Taker sticks out his tongue celebrating to the crowd.

JBL: What are we going to do now? Nobody can beat that man, and The Undertaker damn sure knows it.


The Undertaker gets up and leaves the ring. He then slowly walks up the ramp until he reaches the stage, where he turns his head and gives one final look to the ring. Taker then lifts his right hand, as a last taunt before finally walking to the back.


Styles: JBL said MVP’s career might have gotten killed, but next, what might get killed, is a legend, the legend of The Rock.

JR: There has never been a greater superstar than The Rock, but the question is, after four years, will he be up to the challenge presented by young Randy Orton?

Rikishi finally turns around and immediately the Legend Killer leaps going for the RKO, which gets connected. Orton takes his time before his is finally able to crawl toward his opponent and make the cover: 1…2…, Rikishi somehow kicks out!

Orton gets right back to his feet going berserk. He argues with the referee about the count, however he doesn’t get an answer. Orton immediately goes the outside of the ring and he grabs a steel chair. Orton returns to the inside of the ring with the chair in hand. The referee immediately rings the bell.

Result: Rikishi wins by DQ.


JBL: Oh come on ref, Randy didn’t use the chair!

JR: But we all know that no good son of a bitch was going to. Damn Randy Orton, he can’t get the win so he resorts to thinks like this.


Rikishi slowly makes his way back to his feet, walking right into a steel chair shot by Randy Orton. However, the Legend Killer is not over. He grabs Rikishi by the head and slowly he guides him back to his feet. Orton sets him up in a one arm headlock only to connect him with another RKO. The referee tries to step in and take Randy Orton out of the ring.

JR: Well done ref, take him out of the ring.


Rikishi shows his fighting spirit, as he starts moving and getting up to his knees and forearms, but with a knocked out look on his face. Orton in matter of seconds shoves the referee away and storms toward Rikishi, nailing him with the punt kick right into the head turning out Rikishi’s lights.

Orton: Apparently, that man right there just got the message that a member of Rikishi’s family will come to BTW, will appear on BTW Nitro next week to…confront me.

Crowd pops.

Orton: All what I can say is, until then.

Orton: All your cheers cannot measure with my god given talent. And I guarantee you, this will continue, the Age of Orton will continue until I’m right back where I belong…


If You Smell” plays to a big, massive ovation from the crowd. Orton remains quiet and stares at the stage waiting for the man to come out.

JBL: No way, there’s no way.

Finally, and increasing the pop from the crowd, no other than The Rock comes out from the back into the stage, with a microphone in hand and ready to address the fans.

Rock: Finally, the Rock has come back to BTW![FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]


Rock: The Rock will never, and The Rock says…[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]

The crowd says “never” along with him,[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'] [/FONT]
Rock: ever forget, and what you did to Rikishi, I promise you, will not get unharmed. However Randy, don’t feel bad, because it will neither go unrewarded. No because in fact Randy, you won yourself an all included, one way ticket to The Smackdown Hotel!

[/FONT]

Rock: But there’s nothing, and The Rock means nothing, more important than family, and at WrestleBowl, yeah, The Rock said WrestleBowl, I will layeth the smackdown on your candy ass!

[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'] [/FONT]

Orton: You’re not going to intimidate me!


Orton: You see, if you were doing that to somebody else maybe it would work, but I am not just anybody. I am the youngest World Champion in history, a former BTW World Champion, and as we speak we are all under the Age of Orton, and I promise you that nobody, especially you, will end that.

Rock: Randy, The Rock will never, ever forget. The Rock remembers 4 years ago, oh yeah, back then you were considered up and coming, you’ve had done nothing and you ran around the place like if you had won the blue pony, siding with that gay band of Hunter and yours, and you in that little twisted legend killing mind of yours got all brave and messed with my man Mick Foley. But that was then Randy, but now is now, and now you’re messing with family, and believe The Rock, the People will not let roll away, and believe The Rock when he tells you it’s your destiny to get the ass kicking of a lifetime when you step into that ring, hear the crowd, feel the electricity and go one on one with the Great One.

Orton: Rock, you probably are, right now, as we speak, gloating in happiness, in satisfaction, for winning just first match in almost five years…



Rock finds himself able to direct his punch to the side of the head of Henry, and then he compliments his offense with elbow smashes directly to the face, until he finally accomplishes Mark Henry to let him free. Henry staggers back holding his mouth and nose in pain. He finally turns around and walks right into The Rock, who sets him up and out of nowhere connects The Rock Bottom to a huge pop from the crowd. Much to the dismay of Randy Orton The Rock makes the cover: 1….2…3.[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif']

Result: The Rock defeats Mark Henry[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]

Crowd boos again.[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]
[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'] [/FONT]
Orton: The thing is Rock, even though every person in the arena knows you winning tonight was a damn fluke, that won’t stop you from getting momentum out of this match, that won’t stop you from getting confidence and entering our match at WrestleBowl with hope, hope of actually winning. However Rock, I will take great pleasure in kicking that confidence, that hope right out of your head.[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]

Out of a sudden, Orton gets taken out by The Rock. The Great One takes him down and starts nailing him with big punches to the face, unleashing his anger on him. The Rock rips the microphone out of the hand of Randy and he then starts drilling the microphone right on the forehead of Orton, until he busts him open. Rock finally stops his assault when he sees a group of EMTs and officials coming to take him away. Rock assures he is calm down. He still has the microphone in hand.[FONT='Verdana','sans-serif'][/FONT]

Orton: I am not intimidated!

“Voices” plays to a big amount of boos from the Detroit Fans as Randy Orton makes his slow, confident way out from the back. Orton ignores the audience as he walks down the ramp. He finally reaches and enters the ring. There, Randy climbs to the top rope and oozing arrogance, he makes his characteristic Destiny taunt. Thousands of flashes illuminate the arena as he does so.

JBL: Look at him; he seems to be chiseled out of stone. That, that is the future of BTW.

Styles: Future and present. Former BTW World Champion, he could engrave his name in the annals of history if he defeats The Rock here tonight.

JBL: Not if, when.



“If you Smell” breaks through the PA system causing the crowd to explode in cheers. After a couple of seconds building the expectation, The Rock appears on the stage, looking fired up and ready to go. The Rock looks at Orton from the stage, points at him and badmouths him. Finally, The Great One begins making his way down the ramp. The Rock slides to the inside of the ring, causing Orton to roll out of the ring avoiding The Rock. With the ring all for himself, The Rock climbs to the corner taunting to the crowd. He does the same with the remaining 3 corners.

JR: Listen to this crowd, listen to this place. They tell a better story than we could.

JBL: This place just came unglued.

Styles: For the first time in over 4 years The Rock is back in Detroit, and he’s back to fight.

Randy Orton and The Rock start circling each other, not removing their eyes from one another. Suddenly, it is The Rock who stops and stands in the middle of the ring. The Rock looks around the arena and soaks into the reaction from the crowd, who engulfs him with a huge “Rocky” chant. The Rock redirects his attention to Randy Orton. Staring at him, The Rock points at the crowd, then tells at Orton “this is what all is about”. Immediately The Rock and Randy Orton explode toward each other. The Rock swings for a clothesline, however Orton shows his speed and ducks the attempt. He then quickly hooks The Rock, wrapping his right arm around the neck of The Great One. Orton transitions this into his Inverted Backbreaker, almost breaking The Rock in half as Orton drops The Rock over his own back. Randy Orton gets back to his feet, and with a cold look on his face, although also reflecting arrogance and confident, walks away from The Rock, letting him recover. The Rock slowly starts getting back to his feet, holding his lower back with his right hand. Orton has effectively sent the message to The Rock, easily connecting him with one of his trademarked moves so early in the match. The Rock completely gets back to his feet and he stares at Randy Orton, showing anger and frustration. Both men start circling each other. After a couple of seconds of doing this, they advance toward each other and in the middle of the ring they meet in a collar elbow tie up. Both men compare their strengths. The Rock seems to be getting the best of the exchange, as he starts compromising Orton’s standing base and forcing him to step backwards due to the superior strength of The Rock, however Orton solves his problem as he drives his knee right to the middle section of his opponent. Randy follows up this with a big straight right hand to the face, making sure that his knuckles are the one that make the most punishment. Randy doesn’t let The Rock breath and he quickly locks him in a very intense Reverse Chinlock. Randy applies with a lot of power, torch and viciousness, dropping at moments to one knee thanks to all the strength he applies to the maneuver. The Rock couldn’t have had a worst beginning of the match, as his ring rust and lack of in ring competition have been exposed by the Legend Killer. The crowd however start railing behind The Great One, shaking the cements of the Ford Field as they start a huge “Rocky” chant. The people seem to give the People’s Champion a dose of energy, as he starts fighting Randy Orton out of the chinlock. The Rock grabs Randy’s right arm with both his arms and starts trying to lift it, and that way break the hold.

Finally, Rock’s efforts pay off, as he elevates the arm of Randy Orton, breaking the hold and therefore ending the leverage position Orton had with the Reverse Chinlock. The Rock, now free, starts punching the hell out of Randy Orton, landing straight right hand after straight right hand. The Rock then nails a toe kick that makes Orton double in pain. The Rock weakens him further with a club to the back, and then he goes to continue his offense as he dashes to the ring ropes behind him. The Rock comes right back toward Orton, however once again Randy out fastens The Rock and he receives The Brahma Bull with an elbow strike right to the face. Randy then avalanches toward the dazed Rock and locks him in a Three quarter facelock, again cutting down the oxygen supply of the Great One. Rock once again starts looking and searching for a way out, however Orton seems to have the maneuver synched in to perfection. Rock resources then to brute strength, as he picks Randy Orton in an attempt of connect a side suplex. Orton however counters in mid air and he turns his attempt from The Rock into a headlock takeover, putting The Rock into an ever worse situation as now he finds himself grounded on the canvas with Randy Orton applying all of his strength to the Rock’s throat. Orton starts then moving legs close to the torso of The Rock, in a clear attempt of grapevine them around the body of the Great One. This one however plays against Randy Orton, as it allows The Rock to turn his weight to his right, allowing The Rock to get his right boot closer to the ring ropes, which in the end allows The Rock to put his boot on the bottom rope. The referee pads Randy Orton on the shoulder letting him know that he has to break the headlock. Randy puts his luck to test as he maintains the headlock for an extra four seconds. The referee indeed counts until four, but right before five Randy Orton breaks the hold letting The Rock free. Randy crawls backwards getting away from The Rock, then gets back to his feet. Orton attempts to walk right toward the fallen Rock, however the referee steps in the way stopping Randy Orton, telling him to let The Rock get back up. The Rock turns to the ring ropes and uses them to get back to his feet. The Rock turns his attention to the Legend Killer and his expression speaks by itself. The Rock seems to be thinking “what I am doing here”. The Rock shakes his doubts off and walks toward Randy Orton. Both competitors meet in the middle of the ring and enter once again in a collar elbow tie up. This time, it’s The Rock who gets the upperhand, getting a big pop from the crowd. Rock however, without any explanation, breaks the headlock letting Randy Orton free.

Randy looks confused, but that doesn’t stop him from stepping backwards, getting away from the People’s Champion. Randy’s confused face expressions turn into confidence as he deduces the reason The Rock let him go was because he’s afraid of him. Orton steps toward him but when he does we all find out why The Rock let the headlock go, as he starts imprinting his own style to the match by receiving The Legend Killer with a flurry of haymakers, punching the hell out of Randy Orton. Rocky continues his punching spree. He finally stops, only to spit on the palm of his right hand and nail the finalizing straight hand, with such strength that hurls Randy Orton away. Randy staggers backwards going toward the ring ropes behind him. Orton bounces back from them right into The Rock, who knocks him down to the canvas with a hard clothesline. Randy gets back to his feet and runs right back into The Rock, only to get clotheslined again down to the mat. Pace continues to pick up as Randy gets quickly back to his feet and again, this time a little more groggy, walks toward The Rock, who receives him with a toe kick to the middle section. Rock grabs Orton by the trunks with his left arm and the head, mostly Orton’s hair, with his right hand, then The Rock throws Randy through the top and middle rope all the way to the outside of the ring. The Rock doesn’t waste any time and as soon as Orton lands on the outside floor, he follows Orton by also going to the outside of the ring. The Rock grabs Orton by the head and pulls him back to his feet, only to again start a punching spree. The Rock then grabs Orton by the back of the head and throws him against the guard rail in front of them, against the which The Legend Killer collides hard chest first. The Rock picks Randy Orton and hoists him in the air, only to then let him fell gut first into the edge of the barricade, The Rock breaks down to his knees and then to the floor, holding his middle section in pain. The Rock walks toward the ring post, and announcing what his intentions are through taunting, he shines up the ring post real nicely. The Rock then walks toward the floored Randy, weakens up a little more by kicking Randy right in the head knocking him down. The Rock then grabs both legs of Randy and sets Randy’s feet under his armpits. The Rock looks back for a moment making sure where the ring post is and how far he is from it. The Rock finally drops backwards, propelling Randy Orton frontward acting as a catapult, hurling Randy Orton through the air all the way until he collides face first against the steel of the ring post. The crowd erupts after this, and their cheers get even louder when The Rock taunts to them. One cameraman gets close to the knocked out Randy Orton and lets the world see that The Legend Killer has a cut above his right eye, from the which blood is already starting to pour down. The Rock picks up Randy Orton and throws him back to the inside of the ring. The Rock makes the cover: 1…2…, Orton kicks out. The Rock gets back to his feet, then gives the referee and intimidating look, keeping him from coming to close from the action.

The Rock then picks Randy Orton and brings him back to a standing position. The Rock grabs Orton by the back of the head and throws him toward the corner, sending him all the way to the ring post shoulder first between the top and middle rope. Randy remains in that spot, growling in pain and trying to reach to his aching right shoulder. The Rock walks toward him, grabs him by the tights and pulls him backwards and rolls him up: 1…2…, Randy Orton kicks out. The Rock gets back to his feet and looks up for a second to the referee, quietly reproaching him about an inexistent slow count. The Rock grabs Randy by the arm and guides him back to his feet. Not releasing the arm, he then goes to Irish Whip Randy toward the ring ropes, however Orton sidesteps and instead he’s the one that sends The Rock toward the ring ropes. Randy expects The Rock to bounce back and so he jumps looking to connect his picture perfect dropkick, however The Rock sees it coming from a mile away and holds on to the top rope, that way not bouncing back and letting Randy Orton crash and burn landing over his back failing the dropkick. The Rock walks toward the floored Randy and in his characteristic and unique fashion he starts putting the boots on the Legend Killer, stomping Orton all over his humanity. The crowd remains hot during all of this, rabidly chanting and supporting the Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment. The Rock grabs Randy and starts guiding him back to his feet, however Randy gets back into the match as he connects a body shot. Randy follows up with an European Uppercut, then follows up with a punch, rotates over his bases and when he finishes the spin lands a second European Uppercut finalizing the flurry of offense. Orton leaves The Rock groggy. Randy sees this and he dashes to the ring ropes on his right looking to capitalize on it. The Legend Killer bounces back, however The Rock snaps back to his senses and out of nowhere picks Orton up and connects him with a Samoan Drop. The Rock however remains knocked out next to Randy Orton, not being able to capitalize right away on his maneuver. In a weird twist of events, it is Randy the one who starts getting back to his senses, rolling to his left, coming up to his forearms and knees and then completely back to a standing position. Orton turns around looking to attack The Rock, however he gets surprised as The Rock shows that he hasn’t lost his ability as he kips up, getting back to his feet and getting an amazing pop from the audience. Orton stares at The Rock surprised at what The Great One just did, however he soon gets his face expressions erased as The Rock starts unloading a series of straight right hands.

Randy Orton tries to answer back as he swings big straight right hands, however they are wilder than anything and Rocky easily avoids them. The Rock grabs Orton by the arm and throws him toward the ring ropes. Orton comes right back and The Rock receives with a back body drop. Orton lands over his back, however he quickly shakes of the pain and gets back to his feet. Nonetheless, when he does so, his back still sends waves of pain keeping Orton from walking 100%, which doesn’t allow The Legend Killer from defend himself when The Rock kicks Orton in the middle section and connects him with a DDT. The Rock makes the cover: 1…2…, Orton kicks out. The Rock gets back to his feet and creates a little distance between himself and his opponent stepping backwards. Randy takes advantage of this and he rolls away going to the apron. The Rock notices this and he steps toward him, however the referee shows a little equality and just as he did with The Rock earlier in the match, he steps in the middle stopping The Rock, giving Randy Orton time to catch a break and recover. Randy however, even though he seems to be a little more conscious and up to his senses, prefers to remain lying on the apron than get back to his feet. He’s so confident that the referee is still protecting that he doesn’t even look at The Rock. Therefore, he doesn’t look at The Rock bouncing back to the ring ropes, coming back crossing the ring and connecting Orton on the side of the ribs with a sliding kick, knocking him off the apron again to the outside of the ring. The Rock leaves Orton lying on the outside floor, he then rolls to the outside but doing so by another side of the ring. The Rock immediately walks toward the announcing tables and starts removing the unnecessary indumenta, throwing the lumber made protector and the monitors. He then walks around the ring and picks Randy Orton. The Rock practically drags Randy Orton toward the announcing table, then with a straight right hand knocks Randy over the announcing table. By now, the referee has also gone to the outside of the ring is right next to The Rock trying to conCrushing C him from not doing whatever he could have in mind. The referee shows little to no intention on starting a count out that would affect both men. The Rock climbs to the announce table and grabbing Randy by the head he guides him back to his feet, then to a big roar from the Detroit fans, he sets Orton up for a Rock Bottom. The Rock is just moments away from performing the Rock Bottom and sending The Legend Killer through the announcing table, when Randy gets back to his senses and fights his way out of this predicament by driving his elbow straight to the jaw of the Brahma Bull. The Rock turns around for a moment holding his jaw. The Rock turns around into Randy Orton, who immediately goes for an RKO.

However, this dangerous maneuver also gets blocked, as The Rock pushes Randy Orton away and off from the table. Randy however lands over his two feet on the concrete floor and with speed starts connecting straight right hands to the knees of The Rock weakening them, until The Rock finally collapses down on top of the announcing table, with his head sticking out from the end of the announcing table right next to Orton. Randy methodically grabs and sets The Rock in a front facelock. He walks backwards pulling The Rock until The Rock’s legs are right on the edge of the announcing table. The entire crowd holds their breath waiting for the next Orton maneuver. Randy finally drops The Rock over his head in a vicious and merciless DDT, all the way from the announcing table to the concrete floor below. Thanks to this amazing maneuver, a contingent of fans start chanting out loud “Randy, Randy, Randy”, however, they get quickly lost in the audience who engulfs their chant with a louder “Let’s Go Rock, Let’s Go Rock chant”. Orton slides back to the inside of the ring along with the referee leaving a seemingly knocked out Rock behind on the outside. Randy yells at the referee telling him to start the count out. He then walks to the middle of the ring and taunts to the crowd extending his arms while screaming “what’s your boy doing now? What’s your boy doing now? Nothing, absolutely nothing!” The referee immediately starts to count The Rock out: 1…2…3…4…5…6…, The Rock starts showing signs of life slowly crawling toward the ring, 7…8…, The Rock grabs the edge of the apron and uses it to pull himself up, 9…, The Rock uses his last amount of strength and climbs to the apron, where groggily he lays against the ring ropes. Randy Orton, seemingly angry, walks toward The Rock, however Rocky receives him with a shoulder thrust through the ropes to the middle section of Randy staggering him backwards. Randy recovers and walks again toward The Rock, who from the apron goes to repeat the punishment with a second shoulder thrust, however this time Randy sees it coming and he sticks his knee on the way, letting The Rock punish his own shoulder as he collides against the kneecap of Randy Orton. Randy, much to the fear to the millions…and millions of The Rock’s fans, set The Rock in a front facelock , then slowly pulls him so that his feet are the only body part over the middle rope. Randy looks around the arena with a deranged expression on his face, before repeating the maneuver he performed previously on the outside of the ring from the announcing table as Randy hits his rope hung spike DDT, punishing again the head of The Rock. Now on the inside of the ring, Randy is able to capitalize on this maneuver and makes the cover: 1…2…, somehow, someway, The Rock is no, not able to kick out, but indeed get one shoulder up keeping the match going.

Orton gets back to his feet and he walks toward the referee, giving him a menacing look making sure he stays away from his one. Randy turns around and again focuses on The Rock, who remains floored on the canvas. Randy starts circling him, like a deadly scorpion, stomping every exposed body part, every limb. Randy stomps The Rock’s right and left wrist, then the left and right ankle, and viciously then delivers a hard, merciless stomp right on the head of the Great One, showing that is his target and he might very well be aiming for a concussion. Randy kicks The Rock’s right arm so that it remains next to the torso, measures The Rock and connects him with a jumping knee drop right to the temple. Randy makes the cover: 1…2…, The Rock kicks out. Randy gets back to his feet. This time, his face doesn’t reflect anything, more than ice-like expressions. Randy stomps The Rock again on the head, measures him and leaps going for a second knee drop, however this time The Rock shows there’s still life in him and rolls to his left making Randy Orton miss, hurting his own knee. Orton remains over his knee grimacing in pain. The Rock tries to take advantage of this and get back to his feet. He crawls toward the ring ropes and when he finally reaches them he uses them to pull himself back to his feet. The Rock, dazedly, waits for Orton to get back to his feet. Randy recovers his standing position, and even though The Rock was the one waiting for Randy, his condition doesn’t allow him to defend himself from the running clothesline Randy Orton connects. Back in control, Orton recovers his characteristic swagger, and with tremendous confidence he stares at The Rock and waits for him to get back to his feet. The Rock slowly starts doing so, and when he finally does so, Randy Orton explodes toward him looking to repeat the punishment with another running clothesline, however this time The Rock is able to counter the maneuver, floating over Randy and connecting him with a Snap DDT, vintage Rock. The Rock slowly crawls toward Randy and hooks one leg making the cover: 1…2…, Randy Orton kicks out. The Rock looks tired, but he slowly gets back to his feet. He grabs Randy Orton by the legs and drags him toward the middle of the ring. The crowd cheers in excitement as they know what The Rock is attempting to do. The Rock looks up to the arena and starts setting Randy Orton up for the Sharpshooter. Orton however manages to use his leg strength to get out of the maneuver. Rock gets hurled through the air out of the maneuver. Both men get back to their feet. Randy Orton storms toward The Rock, however this time it’s The Great One who reacts first and connects Orton with his version of a Spinebuster.

The Rock grabs the legs of Randy Orton, however this time the Legend Killer isn’t able to get out of the maneuver and The Rock effectively flips Orton over his belly locking perfectly the Sharpshooter. Randy Orton screams in pain, while The Rock applies all what he has left to the maneuver. The crowd gets very hot for this, as they know Orton might tap out. Randy however starts crawling toward the ring ropes. Randy manages to get one finger tip away from the ring ropes. He stretches looking to grab the salvation rope, however The Rock drags him back to the middle of the ring, ending his hopes. The referee walks and gets right in front of Randy Orton, so that he can get a better angle and see if Randy Orton indeed taps out. Randy extends his right arm as if he is going to tap, however what he does is grab the referee by the leg and pulls him toward himself, however since he is laid on the canvas the one who collides against the referee is The Rock, letting the hold go as a result of this. All three men, the referee, Randy Orton and The Rock remain flat on the canvas, however the one who starts getting back to his feet is the opportunistic Randy Orton. Randy finally gets back to his feet; he looks to his left and sees the referee still knocked out. The Legend Killer walks toward The Rock and picks him back to his feet. He gives one more look to the official to make sure that he still is knocked out. The referee however is getting back to his senses, so whatever Randy Orton is going to do –obviously illegal-, has to do it fast. Randy Orton knows that and he delivers a swift low blow to The Rock. Rocky bends in pain taking his hands to his privates. Randy Orton stands behind the weakened Rock and connects him with a picture perfect dropkick right to the back of the skull, targeting that body part again and knocking The Rock violently down to the canvas. Randy walks toward the referee and grabbing him by the neck of the t-shirt and literally picking him back to his feet. Orton then turns his attention again to The Rock, drops to the canvas and starts taunting The Rock, snake like expression on his face, salivating for The Rock to get up and suffer his three letter destiny: RKO. The Rock slowly starts showing signals of life again, putting one knee on the canvas and using it as leverage to get back to his feet. The Rock remains gingerly over his two feet, then he turns around into the slithery Orton, who leaps toward him looking to connect the RKO, however The Rock is able to react in the last second and avoid the RKO, pushing Randy Orton away. Orton gets hurled away, but then he turns around and storms right back toward the Great One. Rocky receives him, hooks him up and looks to connect the Rock Bottom.

But Orton is able to block The Rock’s finisher as well, just as he did earlier in the match when The Rock wanted to Rock Bottom him through the announcing table, Randy Orton drives his elbow to the jaw of The Rock, forcing his way out of the maneuver. Randy gets released, and for a fraction of second turns his back on The Rock. He finally turns around, and out of nowhere The Rock, stealing a page out of Randy Orton’s book, connects him with an RKO. The crowd explodes when they see this. The Rock gets back to his feet and seems to be revitalized, looking fired up and ready to go. The Rock mocks Randy Orton even more doing the Destiny taunt. Orton is laid right in the middle of the ring. The Rock walks toward him and stands over his head. Immediately, all the fans in attendance rise to their feet, knowing what’s next. The Rock kicks Orton’s arm close to his body. The Rock then looks to the standing crowd and slowly removes his elbow pad and throws it to the audience. The Rock starts swinging his arms back and forth. Finally, he storms to the ring ropes on his right, bounces back, leaps over Randy Orton crossing the ring and goes to the opposite set of ring ropes, bouncing back, however, out of nowhere Randy Orton snaps back to his feet and receives the bouncing back Rock with a scoop powerslam. Randy Orton, slowly and breathing heavily gets back to his feet. He realizes what he just did and he recovers his confidence. Orton grabs the floored Rock, picks him by the head and guides him back to his feet. The Legend Killer grabs Orton in a gutwrench hold, then elevates him and performing a move he hasn’t done since 2006, Randy Orton connects a Gutwrench Elevated Neckbreaker. Randy gets back to his feet and emphatically taunts to the crowd announcing the end. Randy Orton drops to the canvas and anxiously starts slithering, taunting The Rock and waiting for him to get back to his feet. With all the punishment The Rock’s head have suffered, it takes a while before he starts getting back to his senses. The Rock finally does and Randy leaps toward him, for the second time in the match attempting to connect the RKO, however The Rock, in the same fashion Rikishi did at the premiere of BTW Nitro when he was one facing the Legend Killer, The Rock reverses the RKO turning it into a backslide pin: 1…2…, Orton kicks out. Both men get back to their feet. Randy Orton dashes toward The Rock looking to attack him, however Rocky receives him by hooking him up, then to a big pop from the crowd The Rock effectively connects the Rock Bottom. The Rock makes the cover: 1…2…, Orton gets one shoulder up! The Rock, in disbelief, looks up to the referee trying to find there an explanation. Rocky finally settles with the idea that Randy Orton indeed kicked out of the Rock Bottom, and their match is still going.

The Rock gets back to his feet and in an uncharacteristic maneuver of his, The Rock walks toward the corner and he climbs to the top rope. The Great One stands on the top rope, waiting for Randy Orton to get back to his feet. It lasts a while, as Orton still suffers the effects of the Rock Bottom, but slowly he gets up. Orton turns around facing the corner in which The Rock waits for him. Immediately, The Rock comes flying from the top rope, however Randy Orton leaps as well and he catches The Rock with a picture perfect dropkick in mid air. The Rock violently comes down to the canvas. Orton gets back to his feet and taunting to the crowd he makes his “Destiny” taunt. Randy then walks towards The Rock. Orton however notices that The Rock has gotten in a perfect position –over his knees and forearms-, to be punted in the head. Orton rapidly takes impulse walking backwards. Randy stares at The Rock, measuring him. He then finally crosses the ring at full speed looking to kick The Rock into concussion street, however The Rock reveals the was just playing possum as he gets out of the way avoiding the kick and making Orton miss the kick. Rocky gets back to his feet. Randy Orton turns around and storms back toward The Rock, who receives him with an Over the Head Belly to Belly suplex. Orton lands deep in the middle of the ring. The Rock walks toward him, announcing again the People’s Elbow. He rapidly dashes to the ring ropes, bounces back crossing the ring, comes back bouncing from the opposite set of ropes and this time he perfectly connects the People’s Elbow right on the heart of the Legend Killer. The Rock makes the cover: 1…2…, Orton kicks out! Nor the crowd or The Rock can’t believe it. Rock tries to plead again with the referee, however he understands it’s no good doing so, and so he turns his attention back to Orton, taunting him in his unique fashion, waiting for Randy to get back to his feet. Randy slowly, very slowly, starts indeed getting back to his feet. Randy recovers his standing position and groggily walks right into The Rock, who sets him up for another Rock Bottom. The Rock goes for it, however Randy manages to counter digging under and inventing an arm twist, leaving The Rock in position to get connected with a huge RKO! Randy collapse on top of The Rock: 1…2…, The Rock kicks out! Orton, summoning his last strengths, look up to the referee, not believing what The Rock just did, kick out of his RKO. Randy slowly gets back to his feet, with anger appearing on his face as he does so. Orton grabs The Rock by the head pulling him up to a standing position. Randy starts setting The Rock up, getting him ready for another RKO.

Orton goes for it, however The Rock reacts in the last moment possible and he shoves Orton away pushing him down to the canvas. The Rock gingerly remains on his standing position. Randy Orton does the same and he storms right back toward the Great One. The Rock tries to receive him with a back body drop, however he doesn’t have enough strength to hoist Orton up. Randy gets back down to the canvas right in front of Rocky, and taking advantage of this impasse and moment of confusion, he connects The Rock with another RKO. Randy Orton makes the cover: 1…2…3

Result: Randy Orton defeats The Rock


JBL: Since you two are speechless, I’ll be the one who says it: Orton wins. Orton did it; Randy just killed the legend of The Rock.


Randy Orton gets back to his feet and stands over The Rock, The referee raises his hand. The crowd however is busier chanting for The Rock.

JR: Killed? Are you listening to these fans?


Orton gets out of the ring and he starts walking up the ramp, leaving. Inside the ring, The Rock starts recovering. This prompts the crowd to cheer The Rock even louder.

Styles: Stand up ovation for The Rock in an amazing effort from his part.


Randy listens to the cheers and he seemingly starts getting mad. Randy turns around and he stares at The Rock, who inside the ring tries to get up. Randy then starts walking back toward the ring. The crowd stops their Rocky chant and instead they now start booing Orton. Orton enters the ring and he measures The Rock, who is in the wrong place at the wrong time –in the wrong position.

JR: Come on Randy! Don’t do it! God damn it, don’t do it!

Styles: Randy Orton couldn’t take the crowd cheering The Rock and now he’ll do this.


Randy finally explodes going toward The Rock, connecting him with a vicious kick right to the head. The Rock immediately remains knocked out on the canvas, with his eyes glazed over. Orton, with a psycho look on his face, stares at the floored Rock with sick satisfaction.

JR: Oh no, no damn it no!


The referee finally gets to Randy Orton and tells him to leave he ring. Randy, damage done, heeds the referee’s orders and he leaves the ring. As Randy walks up the ramp, a group of EMTs and officials rush to the ring to help The Rock.

JBL: I guess this goes to show, you just don’t mess with the Age of Orton.

JR: Don’t mess with the Age of Orton?! That was a cold blooded attack, an unfunded attack.

Styles: First it was Rikishi, now The Rock, how many more people will be sent to the hospital until someone punishes that man, Randy Orton.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

We cut backstage and we see Goldberg and Randy Couture walking backstage.

Goldberg: Are you ready?

Couture: Let’s do this bro.

Both men continue walking, however they come to a sudden halt as they seem to have run into somebody. Goldberg’s face completely transforms into a more serious expression. The camera reveals no other than Number One Contender Brock Lesnar is in front of them.

Goldberg: Brock.

Lesnar: Bill.

Both men continue staring at each other, nobody saying a word.

Lesnar: Good luck out there.

Goldberg: You too, bring that title home.

Brock and Goldberg continue staring at each other, and although they don’t completely smile at each other, their faces show a warmer reception toward one another.

Goldberg: Let’s go Randy.

Randy Couture and Bill Goldberg continue walking, leaving Brock Lesnar behind. Lesnar eventually leaves as well.


We then cut to Big Show’s locker room, where we see Big Show and Tito Ortiz laughing, oozing confidence. We return to the announcing table.


JR: Well, Big Show and Mr. Ortiz might know something we don’t, because I know I wouldn’t be laughing if my match against Bill Goldberg and Randy Couture is next.

Styles: That’s just the MO of both men JR.

JBL: Are you kidding me? Team Show has the World Largest Athlete. Of course they are confident.

Styles: This match has been the hot topic in Sports Illustrated Magazine, ESPN, Fox Sports. Let’s see what all the hype is about.

Goldberg: Besides, I have a friend tonight here to check me out, and with him being the badass he is, I don’t want to be left behind. In fact, there he is. Randy!

Jeremy looks everywhere trying to find who Goldberg is talking about. The man finally steps into the scene, getting an amazing pop from the crowd. It is no other than Randy Couture.

Borash: Randy the Natural Couture! It’s an honor to have you here in BTW!

Couture: Yeah you see, my man here Bill invited me, I was around the area and I said, what the hell, why not? Now if you two would excuse me, I want to continue checking the place.

Goldberg: Oh man, just remember: don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.



JBL: We are about to know who will be the challenger for the Continental championship


Chris Jericho and Big Show stand at opposite ends of the ring, staring a hole at each other.


Big Show finally gets back to his feet, and immediately Jericho launches from the top rope, however, before he connects the giant, Big Show catches him in mid air grabbing him by the throat. Jericho can’t do anything to avoid getting lifted up in the air and then dropped being connected by the Chokeslam.

However, Big Show isn’t able to capitalize, as he gets distracted. He gets distracted by a figure coming down from the stage. It’s Randy Couture.

JR: What is Randy Couture doing here?

JBL: He said he was here to know around but, he’s definitely in a place he shouldn’t.

The Big Show bad mouths him as Couture makes his way to ring side. Chris Jericho uses all of this to his advantage to be able to recover. Big Show continues trading words with Couture.


Chris Jericho leaves the ring celebrating his victory. Randy Couture enters the ring and he stares down at the knocked Big Show, who is on his knees trying to get back to his feet. The Big Show recovers and he gets back up, and gets right on the face of Randy Couture. Before Couture can’t react, The Big Show grabs him by the throat.

JBL: Haha, there you go. Go back to the UFC Randy.


However, before Big Show does anything, Couture shows his fighting experience and reverses the grab of the giant, and goes to lock in an Armbar bringing The Big Show down to the canvas. The Big Show uses his power to send him away, and then, to avoid any more confrontation, and to boos from the crowd, Big Show leaves the ring in a hurry escaping from Randy Couture.

Crushing C: Big Show, just the man I wanted to see. I have sent people to look for you all over the place, where have you been? I said urgently in my office.

Show: What do you want?

Crushing C: Well Show you see, I saw what you did to Goldberg’s guest…, to BTW’s guest here tonight, and, even though I can totally understand where you were coming from, I gotta tell you, I am here to run the best of business, and letting my talent try to choke my guests and celebrity world wide known personalities.

Show: What’s your point?

Crushing C: I’m sorry I have to do this but, Big Show, tomorrow night on BTW Nitro, you will have to, and I have already summoned Randy Couture for tomorrow, you will have to give Randy Couture a public apology.

Show: You people know what happened last night, so I don’t need to tell you what transpired. However, for some reason, our beloved General Manager has forced me to apologize not only to Randy Couture, but to Bill Goldberg.

Crowd cheers.

Show: Now, if someone needs to apologize, that one person is Goldberg. Nobody told him to bring his little buddy in, and as far as I am concern, every little thing Randy Couture did out there was full responsibility of Goldberg.


“Natural” plays to a big ovation from the crowd as no other than Randy Couture makes his way out. Couture enters the ring with a microphone in hand.

Show: Glad you could make it, if you’d excuse me, I’d like to do this fast, so Randy Couture, I’m sorry for putting my hand on your throat. I’m sorry for almost choking you out, I’m sorry for stepping over the line with someone who just isn’t on my level. For all of that, I am sorry.

Crowd heavily boos.

Couture: Tough words big man. You’re proud of choking me out, let me remind you of something there boy, I almost broke your arm afterwards, so as far as I am concernedyou are lucky of even being here without a cast.

Show: Well as far as I am concerned, you were lucky to leave that ring last night standing on your own terms, because let me tell you, that doesn’t happen when you enter my ring against me, and damn sure will not happen again.

Big Show steps closer to Couture, apparently going to attack him.


However, “Goldberg’s March” breaks through the PA System interrupting the scene as Goldberg makes his way out. A pumped out Goldberg steps out walking down the ramp and enters the ring, with a microphone hand.

Goldberg: Hey there Big Show. Apparently, you and Randy Couture have gotten the chance to know each other really well.

Crowd cheers.

Goldberg: Apparently Show, you like talking a big game. Bottom line is, Randy and I, we weren’t the ones who asked for you to apologize. Randy cost you a match, you cost me a match, the way I see it, there’s no need of apologies, no really need for words, well, except for…YOU’RE NEXT!

Crowd pops as Big Show grins.

Show: Nice, very nice Bill, you turn my apology into a challenge. But Bill, this is not your business. If I am going to face one of you two, it will not be you, it will be Randy Couture.

Couture: You want me, you got me! You and me tough guy

Goldberg: Whoa, whoa, whoa, that’s fine and all, but Big Show, you brought me into this. You cost me my match against Brock Lesnar last night, and if you think I am just going to let it slide, you’re damn wrong!

Crowd cheers.

Goldberg: You also want Randy Couture, fine by me, it appears you have a tag team match in your hands.

Couture: And the way I see it, you go and get yourself a tag team partner, see you at WrestleBowl!

Couture: I see you all alone there big man, and I thought we were here to meet who you picked as your tag team partner, if you got any.

Show: Well, at first I thought of going solo into WrestleBowl, so I could have all the pleasure when I destroyed both of you and squashed you under my boot. However, during the week I got a call from someone, someone who apparently hates Randy Couture as much as I do, and someone who voluntarily offered to be my tag team partner, and that someone, is right here tonight.

Goldberg: And he is?

Show: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome my tag team partner for WrestleBowl………Tito Ortiz!


“Mosh” by Eminem plays to boos from the audience as Tito Ortiz makes his way out, appearing on the stage with a microphone in hand.

Ortiz: Lil’ Billy, Lil’ Randy, be ready, because I’ll promise you, at WrestleBowl, it’s really, really, really going to hurt.


JR: Tito Ortiz?

JBL: Tito Ortiz! And now we have in BTW the two men that brought MMA into mainstream wrestling in the biggest show ever, WrestleBowl

THE PEERS:

Frank Mir: Uhmm, I don’t know, that Big Show dude is really something. I wouldn’t mind teaming with him though.

Rashad Evans: There’s no denying Tito Ortiz, and if he sets his mind in beating Goldberg and Randy Couture, he might just do it.

Dana White: You get two of the biggest names of MMA history, Tito Ortiz and Randy Couture going against each other. Add to that Bill Goldberg, one of the toughest guys ever, and add to that the World Largest Athlete, trained in boxing Big Show, and well, WrestleBowl is in for a hell of a match.

Josh Barnett: Oh man, I wish I was in that match!

The Referee

Couture: What you guys are talking about is complete, uhmm, let’s see how I put it, bullshit!

Crowd pops.

Couture: But you see, I think one thing can be said about us that is true. We have gotten this entire thing wrong. You see, we have talked way too much, more than we usually do. So now, it’s simply time for ass kicking!

Goldberg and Randy Couture both drop their microphones and start walking down the ramp. Big Show and Tito Ortiz wait for them on the inside of the ring. Out of a sudden, Crushing C appears on the Tron.

Crushing C: Wait, wait a damn second. Randy, Bill, you stay right there, because I promise you if you take one more step I’ll make sure it’s the last one you take in this business.

Crowd boos.

Crushing C: Now, Randy, I agree with you, and I know that fans all around the world are dying for some physical interaction between all of you four, but, that’s not happening tonight.

Crowd boos even louder.

Crushing C: But, I’ll tell you what, next week, just six days before your huge match at WrestleBowl, I’ll give the world what they want, because next week, the industry will get revolutionized. Yeah, that’s right, it will be revolutionized because for the first time ever we will see an MMA Steel Cage Match, here live in BTW Nitro.,

Crowd pops.

Crushing C: Yeah, and inside that Cage, we will see Randy Couture going one on one with Tito Ortiz!

Crowd pops heavily.

Crushing C: Oh, I almost forgot, I can’t permit to have a mayhem like the one that’s been going on week after week after week here in BTW Nitro happing at WrestleBowl. That’s why, as of right now, I am adding a Special Guest Referee to your match at WrestleBowl, a special guest referee very familiar to both the wrestling and MMA world, and a special guest referee that will be able to control all of you four, and that guest referee will make his BTW debut next week live in BTW Nitro!


Big Show and Tito Ortiz both enter the cage and they confront Randy Couture. The referee interferes and he tells Big Show that he has to get out of the ring. Big Show grins and he ignores the disposition.

JR: Get out of there Big Show, it is not your business.

JBL: They are his business. Randy Couture is his opponent at WrestleBowl.

Couture has enough of this and he gets right on the face of The Big Show, bad mouthing. Big Show looks down on him and taunts for a punch, however it just proves to be a distraction that allows Tito Ortiz attack Randy Couture from behind. Ortiz takes Couture down and mauls him on the canvas with straight right hands. Big Show asks Ortiz to pick him up. Ortiz picks him up but instead he throws Couture toward a wall of the steel cage. Show congratulates Tito on his decision before asking him to set Randy up for a Chokeslam. Tito walks toward Randy with the intention of doing just that, when out of a sudden the crowd roars as Goldberg comes running down the ramp in full speed.

Immediately, Big Show and Tito Ortiz close the door of the cage. Goldberg stares at the cage and then at Big Show and Ortiz, who are flipping him off from the inside of the cage. However, Goldberg is not to be denied, and instead of walking through the door, he circles the ring and quickly starts climbing the cell. Tito Ortiz rushes toward him and tries to knock him off, however he can’t stop Goldberg from climbing and getting to the top. The crowd roars seeing Goldberg that high, and their pop becomes louder as Goldberg launches himself from the top of the cage right down into The Big Show connecting a shoulder block.

JR: What the…OH MY GOD!

JBL: He’s crazy, Bill Goldberg just lost his freaking mind!

Goldberg rolls in the canvas in pain, but he finally gets himself together and throws himself back on top of Big Show, nailing him with big straight right hands to the head. Ortiz and Couture walk toward one another and start brawling all around the ring. Ortiz gets the upperhand and tries to smash the face of Couture on the cage, but Randy blocks it and instead he’s the one who rearranges the facial features of his opponent with the steel of the cage,

JR: What’s going on in here?

JBL: This four men smell like some ‘cause they’ve been through fire.

All four man continue brawling, when out of a sudden “What you Got” by Reveille plays to a nice pop from the crowd as not other than KEN SHAMROCK STEPS OUT.

JR: It’s Ken Shamrock! It’s Ken Shamrock. And it can only mean that he is the special referee!

JBL: The most dangerous man on Earth JR, he’s here, he’s here!

All men on the inside of the ring stop their brawling, shocked at seeing Ken Shamrock out there.

Shamrock: Listen you bunch whiny cry babies, if you don’t stop right now, I’ll come into that ring and show all of you why I am the most dangerous man on Earth and the special referee for this Sunday!

Crowd pops.

The four men get back to their feet and they stare at each other. Big Show and Ortiz act as if they are cool, calmed and are through with fighting, however out of nowhere Big Show tries to cheap shot Goldberg. Mayhem breaks lose again. Immediately Ken Shamrock runs down the ramp and entering by the door he enters the ring. Shamrock immediately grabs Tito Ortiz by the arm and turns him around getting face to face with him. Shamrock is fired up and he yells at Ortiz. Ortiz finally agrees on leaving. Randy Couture still wants a piece of Tito and he tries to go after him as he leaves the ring, however Shamrock walks right on Couture’s way getting face to face with him as well and entering a huge staredown. Big Show looks at the situation and realizing he’s outnumbered now, he starts walking backwards and leaving the ring under his own will, but now without delivering some verbal joust as he promises revenge on Sunday.

JR: He did it! My God, Shamrock has reinstated order in the hell.

Ortiz and Big Show stare at their opponents inside the ring as they leave to the back. Shamrock climbs to the top rope and then to the top of the cage taunting to the crowd.

JR: And now we know it, it will be Big Show and Tito Ortiz battling Randy Couture and Goldberg, and that man right there, Ken Shamrock, will be the special guest referee.

JBL: I can’t wait for this Sunday.

Show: Let me get something straight once and for all. This isn’t UFC, this is BTW. You won’t have half a year to prepare to one of your little opponents that’s you’ll squash or get squashed by in a couple of seconds, no. In BTW, you’ll get 5 weeks, 5 weeks to prepare for a seven foot, 440 pound giant, and whoever I selected as my tag team partner. So next time you think of opening your mouth and running it, think again, and remember where you’re standing…in MY ring.

Goldberg: Well, since you’re giving advice here and there, how about I give you one: Believe the Hype, because there’s nothing you’ll be able to do to defeat Randy Couture and me at WrestleBowl.

Crowd erupts

Goldberg: And how about you take your own advice and think twice of what you say, because maybe I could forget I am in “your ring” and kick your ass!

“Mosh” plays to a huge amount of boos from the fans as Tito Ortiz steps from the back. He arrogantly jogs on the stage, then starts walking down the ramp, ignoring the fans being surrounded with an air of arrogance. Ortiz finally enters the ring where he waits for his tag team partner.

“Big” breaks through the PA system as after a huge pyro explosion, The Big Show makes his imposing way out. On the stage, Big Show lifts his right hand, letting even more pyro out. The giant walks down the ramp, intimidating and impressing the fans that see him. Big Show enters the ring and he high fives Tito Ortiz, then again he lifts his right hand, letting pyro blast from the turnbuckles.

JBL: That’s what you call making an entrance.

Styles: Let’s see how they do in the actual match.


We see Goldberg and Randy Couture walking backstage in the gorilla position. “Goldberg’s March” plays to a huge ovation from the Detroit fans as both Goldberg and Randy Couture step out into the stage. The usual pyro and smoke from Goldberg’s entrance come, sort of welcoming Couture and Goldberg. Both men walk down the ramp and slide to the inside of the ring. Show and Ortiz get out of the ring, leaving it all for Goldberg and Couture, who taunt to the crowd.

JR: And there’s only piece of the puzzle missing.


“What you Got” plays to cheers from the Detroit fans as Ken Shamrock, rocking his referee shirt, makes his way down the ramp. Shamrock salutes some fans at ringside before sliding into the ring. Shamrock yells at Big Show and Tito Ortiz to get back to the ring.





Big Show and Tito Ortiz indeed get back to the ring. Ortiz stays on the apron and lets The Big Show enter the ring, leaving it clear that he will be the one starting the match. Randy Couture steps forward, obviously wanting a piece of the giant. Goldberg however pulls him back and he steps into the ring, telling Randy that he should be the one starting the match. Goldberg and Big Show step toward the middle of the ring, where they meet each other and stand face to face –well, face to almost neck. Goldberg and Big Show begin trading words, badmouthing each other. The Detroit fans know what they want to see and they start chanting for Couture and Tito Ortiz, wanting to see them two wrestle. Ortiz rabidly wants to get in the match, feeding that way his ego after hearing the fans want to see him wrestle. Big Show grins at Goldberg, then walks toward his corner and makes the tag, letting Tito Ortiz in. The crowd explodes to this, receiving him with a big amount of cheers. The fans start chanting “Tag him in, tag him in” to Goldberg, indicating that they want to see Randy Couture in. Goldberg smiles, surprised at the crowd reaction and he walks toward his corner and tags Randy Couture, tagging him into the match. Randy Couture and Tito Ortiz stare at each other from different sides of the ring. Now that the both men they wanted are in the match, the fans take sides and they start chanting for Randy Couture, recriminating Tito Ortiz for all the bad he has done in the last few weeks in company of The Big Show. Couture and Ortiz step closer to each other and start circling each other, hands up in guard position, looking for a spot to attack, waiting for an opening. Ortiz throws a right hand, however it misses by far. Couture continues measuring Tito, not rushing in into anything. Ortiz throws a kick, however Couture steps backwards avoiding it. Randy grins at Tito, taunting at him after missing two offensive maneuvers. Tito and Randy continue jogging circling each other. Tito once again breaks his guard and tries to connect a punch combination, however the savvy Randy Couture was expecting that and he ducks the punches, then taking advantage that for a fraction of second Ortiz let himself unprotected, Couture goes after his legs and takes him down to the canvas. Couture sits over the floored Tito Ortiz and starts merciless punching him right on the face. The referee steps in and grabbing Randy Couture he takes him away from the floored Ortiz, reminding him that closed fist punches are punished here in the BTW world. Ortiz, grabbing his jaw, gets back to his feet. Couture ignores the referee, who is still talking to him, and starts talking trash at him, taunting him about how easy Randy took Ortiz down to the mat.

Ortiz and Couture start circle each other again. Ortiz seems a little affected after being taken down to the canvas and Couture knows that, as quickly he explodes toward Tito, going again after the legs trying to knock Tito down to the canvas. Tito however manages to fight back, not allowing Couture from knocking him off his feet. Ortiz starts fighting back, nailing Couture with clubs to the back, finally creating some separation. Couture incorporates, only to get poked right on the eyes by Tito Ortiz, who then clotheslines Randy down to the canvas. Tito gets down to one knee and right on the face of Randy Couture, then tells him “It’s wrestling dude”. Ortiz picks up Randy by the head and Irish Whips him toward his corner. Tito follows him, then on the corner, he hits a hard knife edge chop. Randy contorts in pain grabbing his chest. Tito repeats the punishment, punishing Couture even more. Tito then gives a look at his partner, The Big Show, and both grin at each other in a rather maniacal way. Tito gives the tag to The Big Show, letting him in. The fans in the crowd mumble, talking to each other, mostly of fear and shock at what the World Largest Athlete could do to Randy Couture. Big Show looks around the Ford Field and putting his finger over his lips, he shuts the crowd up, forecasting his attack. Big Show hits a huge chop to the chest of Randy Couture, a chop that could be heard all the way up in the nosebleeders. Couture collapses down to the canvas, holding his now reddish chest in pain. Big Show grabs him by the arm and drags him to the middle of the ring. Big Show stares at Goldberg and taunts him, yelling him “look at your boy, uh, what’s he doing, what’s he doing?” Goldberg passes angrily on the apron, important and not being able to enter the ring and defend Couture. Big Show meanwhile seems up to end the career of Randy Couture. Big Show puts his right foot on the chest of Couture. The crowd awes, not sure if they are really going to see what they know The Big Show is aiming to do. They do see it, as mercilessly The Big Show steps over the chest of Couture. Randy coughs and holds his chest in pain, as a seven foot monster just walked right over him. Big Show turns around and he covers Randy Couture: 1…2…, Randy kicks out. Big Show seems a bit surprised, however he flashes a smile and goes back to his offense. The Big Show gets back to his feet and he grabs Couture by the arm, and pulling him by it Big Show gets Randy back to his feet. Big Show doesn’t release Randy, and instead, mocking him and showing his own physical power, Big Show starts rag dolling Couture, shaking him back and forth, still not letting his arm go.

However, it all gets stopped by special referee Ken Shamrock, who confronts the Big Show and forces –physically forces, The Big Show to let Randy Couture go. Big Show gets right on the face of Shamrock, however, the ref shows no intimidation and tells him “this is a wrestling a match, so freaking wrestle”. Big Show distances himself from Shamrock, then redirects his attention to Randy Couture, who groggily balances from one side to another. Big Show says “wrestle. Ok Randy, let’s tango.” Big Show measures Randy Couture, and showing his boxing background he goes for a straight right hand, however Randy gets right back to his senses and showing his own abilities he blocks the punch of Show, then turns the situation into his favor as he locks in a Standing Armbar, even overcoming the difficulty of handling the huge frame of the Big Show. Big Show’s face shows the pain he’s in, however he utilizes his amazing strength to shake his right arm and just hurl away Randy Couture away. Big Show remains on his knees, moving his arm trying to get back the feeling on it. Randy wastes no time and he goes right toward The Big Show, and starts trying to take The Big Show down to the canvas in an attempt to lock in a guillotine, however Big Show again brings his size and power into play and blocks this attempts, snapping right back to his feet staggering his opponent away. Couture staggers all the way back to his corner, where Goldberg, not doing a lot of thinking about it or second guessing it much, he tags himself into the match. Goldberg is welcome mostly with cheers, however a contingent of fans boo him, as they wanted to keep seeing Randy Couture in the match. Goldberg steps into the ring and he stands behind The Big Show, waiting for him to turn around. Big Show turns his head and he sees Randy Couture standing in the ring, so he deduces he’s not in the ring anymore. However, he turns around, provoking Goldberg to start unfolding straight right hands directly to Big Show’s face. Goldberg then nails a kick to the middle section, getting the giant doubled in pain. Goldberg continues mounting momentum, and so he dashes to the ring ropes behind him. Goldberg is about to bounce back from the ring ropes, however Tito Ortiz, from the apron, manages to connect him with a club to the back. Goldberg turns around and confronts Tito Ortiz getting right in his face. Ken Shamrock quickly comes close to Ortiz and Goldberg and he pushes Goldberg away. Ken gets right on the face of Tito Ortiz, then recriminates him for getting illegally involved in the match. This shows that Shamrock isn’t taking shit from anyone in the match, however, while doing so, he turns his back to the inside of the ring of what’s happening there, so he misses when The Big Show wraps his giant hand around the throat of Bill Goldberg and he starts to blatantly choke him. Couture yells at Shamrock from the opposite corner, alerting him at what’s happening in the match. Ken listens to him and immediately turns around, however when he does so Big Show lets Goldberg go, getting rid of the evidence so to speak.

Shamrock continues walking toward Randy, and showing he has no favorites, he gets right on the face of Couture, yelling at him. Big Show takes advantage of Ken getting distracted again, and for the second time he starts choking the now floored Goldberg. Randy tells Shamrock to turn around. Ken does so and he sees Big Show breaking the rules. Shamrock walks toward Big Show and he pushes him down to the canvas, stopping his choking attempts. Big Show gets back to his feet and he gets right on the face of Ken Shamrock, not happy about what the referee did. Shamrock and Big Show continue trading words, until the giant finally snaps and he pushes Ken Shamrock away, knocking him right over his ass. Big Show then grabs the kneeled Goldberg by the throat and gets him back to his feet, obviously going for his Showstopper. Ken finally gets back to his feet and angrily he storms right toward the giant, connecting him with a huge roundhouse kick, hitting The Big Show right on the side of the head. Big Show gingerly walks in circles, losing slowly his self awareness. Goldberg gets back to his feet, shakes off the cobwebs and dashes to the ring ropes behind him. Goldberg bounces back and he connects a huge Spear. Goldberg makes the cover: 1…2…, Big Show somehow kicks out! And not only does he kick out, but he hurls Goldberg away with all the strength he applied into the kick out. Big Show gets back to his feet right on time to receive Goldberg, who turned around and dashes right back toward him, with a huge big boot right to the face. Big Show stumbles toward his corner and he makes the tag to Tito Ortiz, who again gets welcomed with some cheers from the fans, who are obviously happy to see him wrestle. Big Show tells at Tito “show them what you know Tito”. Ortiz following this climbs to the top rope, where he waits Goldberg to get back to his feet. Bill slowly starts making his way back up. He finally fully does so and turns around facing that way the corner in which Tito is in, and Ortiz, showing he did some sports entertainment wrestling for this match, flies through the airs connecting Goldberg with a cross body plancha from the top rope. Tito hooks the leg making the cover: 1…2…, Randy Couture, who had entered the ring, stomps Tito on the back breaking the pinfall cover. Shamrock incorporates and stares at Randy, who doesn’t pay much attention to him this time. Tito gets back to his feet and rejoices on the fact that he’s in control, putting the boots on Goldberg stomping all over him. Tito Ortiz then get on top of Bill and starts hitting a series of straight right hands while mounting him. He then mixes then up with forearm strikes to the face.

Goldberg tries to cover himself however obviously Tito Ortiz has more experience in this type of situations. He finally stops and walks toward his corner, where he tags Big Show into the match. Big Show, as soon as he enters the ring, explodes toward the floored Goldberg and hits a huge elbow drop across Bill’s chest. Show gets back to his feet only to repeat the punishment, elbow dropping Bill Goldberg right on the chest. Big Show gets back to his feet and this time he stares at Randy Couture, he looks at him right in the eyes before he completes the trifecta of elbow drops. Big Show makes the cover: 1…2…, Goldberg kicks out keeping the match going. Big Show gets back to his feet and he gives Ken Shamrock an angry look, not happy about the count. Show continues getting distracted as now he walks toward the corner and he starts talking trash to Randy Couture. Big Show finally turns around and refocuses on the match, as he walks toward Goldberg. The giant grabs Bill by the head and starts lifting him, however before he gets him back to his feet, Goldberg snaps back to his senses and he starts nailing hard clubs to the legs of The Big Show, finally making him lose his balance and collapse down to his knees. Goldberg gets back to his feet and he quickly dashes to the ring ropes behind, bounces back and hits a direct kick to the face of Big Show, knocking him down to the canvas. Goldberg starts showing signs of pain and he grabs his chest in pain. Goldberg stumbles toward his corner and makes the tag to Randy Couture, who was just dying to enter the match. Couture remains on his corner and he stares at Big Show, apparently taunting him and waiting for the giant to get back to his feet. The Giant eventually does so, and Couture showing his own acquired ability in sports entertainment, as soon as Big Show turns around, Randy storms toward him and taking a page out of his partner’s book, delivers Big Show his second Spear of the match. Randy makes the cover, Ken Shamrock gives one menacing look to Tito Ortiz before dropping to the canvas and make the count: 1…2…, Big Show turns around with such strength that he hurls Randy Couture away. Couture gets back to his feet and stares a little surprised to the Big Show, who as if nothing had happened he begins getting back to his feet. Big Show stares at Randy Couture and flashes at him a confident grin. Big Show goes even further taunting Randy, as he starts inviting Randy to step towards him and bring it. Couture walks toward him, however Big Show tells him to stop, then going even further mocking the former UFC Champion, Big Show drops down to his knees and taunts Randy, offering him a free shot.

Randy won’t turn the offer down and he quickly walks toward the kneeled Showster, and showing no hesitation he delivers to him a fast one-two to the face. Big Show immediately crawls away from Randy. The camera zooms on Big Show’s face and we see tons of blood pouring down from his nose, which could very well be broken. Randy Couture steps toward Big Show but Big Show continues crawling backwards. Ken Shamrock steps into the action and he gives the giant a moment to recover as he keeps Couture away. Big Show doesn’t waste it and he makes his way to this corner and gives the tag to Tito Ortiz, who enters the match. Ortiz walks confidently to the middle of the ring and right to the face of Couture, then starts taunting at him telling him to go ahead and punch him as well. Randy laughs and both men start circling each other, almost pretending as if they were inside an octagon and battling for UFC pride. Both men step toward one another and start brawling, each one trying to knock the other one down to the canvas. Eventually, both men let each other go. Couture measures Tito throwing a toe kick, which obviously misses. Tito and Randy pace a little more, but finally Ortiz goes for it all and avalanche toward Randy throwing right hands, looking to hit that haymaker that turns the match in its favor. Ortiz gives Couture a straight right hand, however even though it lands hard, Randy manages to take it in and then answer back with a straight right hand of his own. Randy and Tito continue trading fists, each time harder and each time making the other staggering backwards. Tito nails a strong right hand that staggers Randy enough for him to get into the arm reach of the giant Big Show, who gives Randy a cheap shot connecting a massive club to the back. Couture staggers hurt right into Tito Ortiz, who performs a go behind and locks Randy in a Rear Naked Choke. Big Show seems satisfied by this, as he starts clapping on the apron. Goldberg starts clapping as well, but for a different reason. He tries to get the crowd behind Randy Couture so that the motivation gave by the fans help him get out of the predicament. Tito adds more and more torch, putting more and more pressure to the choke, trying to make Randy Couture either pass out or tap out. The referee Ken Shamrock doesn’t seem to bothered about the fact that chokeholds are normally against the rules, as what he does is check on Couture to see if he’s close to passing out. Couture seems indeed to be losing his energies, however out of a sudden he seems to get his energies revitalized, as he starts struggling with Tito, trying to get out of the maneuver. We can see however that Tito adds even more strength to the lock, tensing his arm around the throat of Couture harder and harder. It seems as if it’s doomsday for Randy, as he’s in the middle of the ring trapped in a chokehold applied by MMA star Tito Ortiz. Goldberg is climbed on the second rope from the apron trying to pump Randy Couture up into getting out of this potential losing situation. Ken gives Bill a look making sure his intervention remains like that, and doesn’t get any physical.

But Randy doesn’t need any interference, as using his last saving of energy he remembers Tito that they are in BTW and in a wrestling match, as instead of continuing trying to get out of the Rear Naked Choke, Randy turns his weight over his own head, forcing Tito over his shoulders on the canvas. Ken considers this as a pinfall situation: 1…2…, Tito kicks out breaking the chokehold in the way. Both men slowly get back to their feet. Tito however isn’t able to do so very well and he starts collapsing down to the canvas. He manages to land near to his corner, allowing Big Show to tag himself into the match slapping Tito in the back. Big Show enters and he starts taunting Randy Couture, waiting for him to turn around. Couture indeed turns around, but only to smile at The Big Show in a mockery way, as Big Show forgot Couture team’s corner is right behind Randy, and since the giant was on the other corner taunting him, there’s nothing stopping Randy from tagging Goldberg in. Couture does that, tagging Goldberg to a huge pop from the crowd. Goldberg storms into the ring and right into Big Show. The giant tries to swing a killer punch to Goldberg, however Goldberg ducks, passing by under the arm of Show. The giant turns around and Bill starts lashing out huge straight right hands to the head. Goldberg connects a kick to the middle section and continuing his offense he dashes to the ring ropes behind him. Ortiz doesn’t miss his chance and just as he did earlier in the match he cheap shots Goldberg. Goldberg turns around and on this occasion not wasting time with staredowns, he just nails Tito Ortiz with a straight right hand knocking him down of the apron. Goldberg turns around, but he walks right into Big Show, who catches him by the throat. Big Show hoists Goldberg up looking for a Chokeslam, however Bill jumps out of the grasp of Show and lands behind the giant. Big Show turns around and eats a huge sidekick to the jaw from Bill Goldberg. Big Show somehow remains standing, although he does so gingerly. Big Show dashes to the ring ropes behind him, bounces back and he breaks the giant in half with the third Spear in the match. Goldberg explodes back to his standing position and he stares at Big Show’s corner, right on time to see Tito Ortiz climbing back to it and immediately attempting to return to the inside of the ring. Goldberg advances toward him, but the referee Ken Shamrock stops him, telling Goldberg he’ll do it. Shamrock advances toward Ortiz and nails a killer straight right hand, for the second time knocking Tito Ortiz down from the apron. This done, Goldberg can refocus on his gigantic opponent, who is now getting back to his senses again. Goldberg measures Big Show waiting for him to get back to his feet. Groggily, Big Show does so, only to get Speared by Goldberg for the third time in the row. Goldberg taunts saying it’s over, and goes to make the cover.

However, suddenly he stops, and instead he walks toward his corner and tags Randy Couture in. Couture enters and he walks toward the floored Big Show. Couture performs a straddle pinfall. Ken Shamrock makes the count: 1…2…3.

Result: Randy Couture pins The Big Show


JBL: Please tell me Randy Couture didn’t just pin The Big Show.

Styles: Ok, I won’t tell you, but it happened alright.

JBL: Oh come on, all he did was cover an already beaten Big Show. Randy can’t be proud of that.

JR: A win is a win, and if you talk about not being proud, how about Tito Ortiz?

JBL: Oh come on, he even got attacked by the special referee. This match was biased from the very beginning.


Big Show rolls out of the ring and tries to get himself together on the outside of the ring. Bill Goldberg and Randy Couture celebrate in the middle of the ring lifting their hands up high. Ken Shamrock sees Tito Ortiz trying to enter the ring and he starts measuring him looking to punch him down of the apron again, however Randy tells him not to. Couture steps forward and he’s the one measuring Tito now. Randy finally storms toward Tito and tackles Ortiz down of the apron. Tito flies through the airs and he lands on top of The Big Show. Both Tito and Big Show remain knocked out on the floor of the outside.

JBL: Oh come on, this is plain embarrassing.


Couture, Shamrock and Goldberg all lift their hands in the air taunting to the Detroit fans, standing tall, here in WrestleBowl.



(When the spotlight fades and the glamour extinguishes, when the glory from WrestleBowl ends…the revengeful claim for retribution. The disappointed seek for revenge. Rippers search for their next victim. After WrestleBowl passes by, it’s time for men to be punished for their sins, carry their responsibilities and pay their dues. BTW presents…Busted Open)


We see a shot from the outside of the Ford Field.

Styles: Over 80 000 fans gather tonight in the Ford Field, thousands of fans watching at home, and most of it are thanks to this next match.

JBL: Joey, you and I have seen this rivalry born and evolve…

Styles: Rivalry? This has been the story of Crushing C using his position to unfairly punish Rikishi. But let’s take a look at this video that will recap it all for us.

We see Vince Mcmahon sitting talking to Rikishi.

Vince: Think about it, coming back to the WWE.

Rikishi: I don’t know.

Vince: Why not? Here nobody respects you, do you remember how Umaga treated you?

Rikishi: Yes, but…

Vince: I cannot make a better offer. Recovering your good ol’ job at WWE, and all you have to do is guarantee that Team WWE defeats Team BTW.

Crowd loudly boos.

Rikishi: I…

Vince: Think about it, the match is next.

10-Man Elimination 5 on 5 Tag Match
Team WWE vs Team BTW (The member of Team BTW making the winning pinfall or submission victory will get a title shot at Unbreakable).



Jericho continues to use all of his strength and he manages to lock in the Walls of the Jericho to a pop from the crowd. John Cena screams in agony as Jericho tries to make him tap out. John starts making his way to reaching the ropes. He is about to grab one but Jericho pulls him back to the center of the ring. Finding himself in a Put Out or Tap Out situation, John Cena starts brutally and despairly looking for a way out of the Walls of Jericho. He pushes his legs making Jericho release the hold but the impulse of that makes Jericho crash with the referee bringing him down. Chris looks at the referee but then turns around and sees the recovering John Cena, Jericho then bounces to the ropes and hits his version of a Bulldog. Chris Jericho moves on the make the cover but realizes there is no referee. He goes and tries to wake up the official, but when he is trying to do it Rikishi starts walking down the ramp carrying a steel chair. Jericho looks at him with a bedazzled look on his face. He tells him not to do it, but he gets turned by John Cena, that has got back to his feet and puts him over his shoulders. He goes to the center of the ring and hits the F-U. John Cena makes the booed cover: 1…2…3.

Result: Team WWE defeats Team BTW.

JBL: What! We lost thanks to that stupid fat-ass Samoan that distracted Chris Jericho.

Styles: I have to agree with you on this one. Rikishi screw all of us, Rikishi screw BTW.

Crushing C: Rikishi, don’t waste our time and come on out here.

Nobody appears.

Crushing C: Rikishi, this will be done the good…

Rikishi appears on the Tron.

Rikishi: I will not come out there because I am afraid what the fans can do to me.

Crushing C: Ok, ok, that’s understandable, now, do what you have to do so that we can get this show over.

Rikishi: I am not apologizing.

Crushing C: What!

Rikishi: I am not apologizing, I did not nothing wrong, I tried but I couldn’t.

Crushing C: So let me get this straight, you are not apologizing?

Rikishi: No I am not.

Crushing C: You let me no choice Rikishi, see, you may not ask for forgiveness, but sure as hell ask for mercy.

Crushing C: You’ll face all Team BTW in a 5 on 1 Handicap Match.

Crushing C: A Steel Cage Match against AJ Styles!

Crushing C: You, against The Big Show!

Crushing C: A 3 on 1 Handicap Match, Lesnar, Umaga and AJ vs you, at Deathly Hallows.

We see the three face reactions of Crushing C showing anger as in all the occasions Rikishi overcomes the odds and win.

Crushing C: Rikishi, I don’t know how you do it, but as of right now, I am tired of it. I am sick of everything you do, everything about you, I am sick of you.

Crowd boos.

Crushing C: Sometimes, you just have to do the job yourself. So Rikishi, no more people doing my job. I am doing it myself. So, I am making it official, at CyberSlam it will be Rikishi going one on one against me, Crushing C!



Borash: Well, Rikishi and Crushing C will have their long awaited battle, but whatwould be happening to the winner and to the loser? It was up to you to determine.

Rikishi measures him and connects a big leg drop across the throat and chest. He then, with a maniacal smile on his face, dragging the general manager by one arm close to the corner. The crowd roars knowing what’s next. Rikishi climbs to the second rope turned around and after a few seconds of expectation, Rikishi finally connects Crushing C with a chest and sternum crushing Banzai Drop. Rikishi makes the cover, 1…2…3…4…, he has more than won the match, but there is no referee. Rikishi gets back to his feet and goes toward the referee, trying to get him back to his senses. Crushing C is completely knocked out and he is not even moving, completely demolished by the Banzai Drop. Rikishi continues shaking the referee trying to get the conscience out of him.

However, and out of nowhere, a man slides to the inside of the ring. The camera first can’t see who he is as his back is the one on the shot, however, when the camera changes, we see that it is AJ Styles, that has a chair on his hands. He waits for Rikishi to turn around. The samoan finally does so and gets immediately planted by a powerful shot with the steel chair shot that knocks him out. AJ then drags Crushing C and puts him on top of Rikishi: 1…2…3.

Result: Crushing C defeats Rikishi


The crowd heavily boos as Rikishi is just knocked out cold, now without a job. AJ Styles picks Crushing C up and both celebrate raising their arms.

Krakatoa PPV

We see Rikishi crashing into the arena, sneaking into the event and confronting Crushing C in his office.

Souled Out PPV

We see Rikishi doing the same, only this time security takes him away from Crushing C’s office.

UpRising PPV

We go backstage and we see what appears to be an empty corridor. It appears to be some sort of maintenance area. There is a door on the end of the corridor. Out of a sudden that door opens and slowly, Rikishi enters the arena! Crowd pops on the back.

Rikishi: Home sweet home.

Rikishi continues walking and finally the camera man loses sight of where he’s going.


JBL: What the hell!

Styles: Rikishi! He’s here!

JBL: But where the hell was that place in which he entered, what’s going on, does this arena has no security?



We go backstage and we see Crushing C walking, apparently mad, as he walks down a corridor. He stops in front of a door and takes out his keys, and starts opening the door. He enters the office and the light is turned off. He turns it on, then turns around, and finds Rikishi sitting on his couch.

Crushing C: Wait, you again here, in my office?

Rikishi: Yeah, me again, in your office, managed to sneak in, again, inside your office, hey, seriously, who writes this crap.

Crowd laughs in the back as Rikishi grins.

Crushing C: Oh so you got jokes, you’re a funny man know. Well, I gotta give you credit, you are pretty funny for a man who has no job. Besides, the police is somewhere in this office, really close, and it would take me only seconds to call them so they could arrest you.

Rikishi: Well man, I’m not stopping you, go ahead.

Crushing C: Why, do you think I am lying? I’ll call them, and they’ll come in here, put that handcuffs in your wrists and take you away to put you down, just like they did four weeks ago when you crashed into my office at Souled Out.

Rikishi: Ok man, I’ll be honest with you here, I don’t give a rat’s ass if you call them.

Crowd pops.

Rikishi: Because bottom line is Double CC, if I can call you that way buddy, I am not giving up, I’ll continue coming over to events, running into your office, hell, I’ll interfere matches if it is what I need to get the point across, because Crushing, you know that what you did was wrong, and you know, that I will get my job back, that you will give me my job back.

Crushing C: C’mon Kish, open your eyes, I made you a favor, I gave you a worthy retirement, you lost to a premier athlete like myself, you got a rub to a performer like AJ Styles.

Rikishi: Little cheating jumping bean.

Crushing C: Let’s face it, what are you, 46, 47 years old.

Rikishi: 42, and Crushing C, we can keep up here playing nice, and you keep dodging what I say, or you face reality, and reality is that I will not just go way, you’ll start seeing more and more of me until I get a chance to return.

Crushing C: You know what Rikishi, I can’t…

Rikishi: See this is what I am talking about, I don’t trust you, never will, but you need to make a decision right now, I am warning you, for the safety of BTW, because you don’t want to see me interfering all the matches and crashing on every event or do you?

Crushing C: Rikishi, here’s what I am going to do, I’m going to turn around, and get out of this office, search the police officers and tell them exactly where you are. I’ll give you the advantage so you can get out before they reach to you, consider it my gift to you, and consider it a way of me to show you just exactly how much you meant to me.

Crushing C turns around and he leaves the office, leaving Rikishi nodding his head meaning “NO”.

We go backstage and we go to the parking lot, where outside a limo, we see Crushing C and AJ Styles.

AJ: Seriously man, we need to do something about Rikishi, you need to come up with something, you can let him run over here as he pleases, he could…he could come after me!

Crushing C: AJ, I am sorry but I don’t want to talk about this now. Thank God Rikishi didn’t show up here tonight, but now that the night and the show are over, I just want to get back home.

AJ: But…

Out of a sudden, AJ gets interrupted as man in a suit walks toward them.

Man: Mr. Crushing C?

Crushing C: What the hell do you want?

Man: I come in regard of BTW’s owner, Matteo Quintavalle, and he sends this letter to you.

The man gives the envelope to Crushing C and then walks away. Crushing C stares at him and then he opens the envelope. He reads the letter, and as he does, his face expression changes methodically.

AJ: What’s wrong Crushing?

He gets no answer.

AJ: What’s wrong man, what does the letter say?

Crushing C: I’m, I’m, I’m fired?!...

Crushing C: I take, by the way all of you people react, that I am the least person you were expecting to come down and open the show. Then again, why would you expect something like that, as all of you saw and the closing of last BTW Show me losing my job, me getting fired of the General Manager position.

Crowd cheers.

Crushing C: Oh, that makes you happy? You people get satisfied from watching another human being lose his job and lose the way he feeds his family? However, sorry to ruin on your parade, but I am not fired!

Crowd boos.

Crushing C: You see, after Monday night, I had a series of meetings with BTW owner, and after doing some things that I am not exactly proud of, nor I will remember fondly, but by the end of the week, I had recovered my GM spot, yeah, I lost some responsibilities and some charges I had to gave to some other “responsible people”.

CC grins and takes a breath.

Crushing C: However by now, all of you have to be wondering, why I was even fired on the first place? Well, it all, all the responsibility of me losing my job, ironically you might say, lays on one single man, and that man is no other, than Rikishi!

Did the hate suddenly stop?

Crushing C: As much as it hurts me to say so, and as much as I hate Rikishi, I can’t deny that last night, thanks to Rikishi, the place came unglued, and my friends, that is good business, and me, I just can’t let good business pass by. That’s why, just like I gave Rikishi a chance for one last match, I’ll give him another chance. Only this time, I’ll give him the opportunity to win…a BTW contract!

Crowd gives a massive pop that causes Crushing C to smile even more, showing he’s right.

Crushing C: Now, next week, we will have the big premiere of BTW Nitro, live from the Staples Center and which better occasion than that night to have ourselves that match uh?

Crowd cheers.

Crushing C: So, next week, at BTW Nitro, it will be Rikishi, in a match that if he wins he earns himself a brand new BTW contract against…Randy Orton!


Rikishi then, with his back turned to the inside of the ring, starts making his way to the second rope. He then starts jumping a little over the rope testing its support. Rikishi finally goes for it as he drops from the ropes looking to connect Randy Orton with a Banzai Drop, however, right on time to avoid any contact, Randy Orton is able to get out of the way making Rikishi hurt himself landing sat on the canvas hard. Orton immediately slides away and he starts taunting for the RKO. Rikishi is still sitting on the canvas but he starts making slowly his way back to his feet, death waiting for him behind. Randy Orton slowly is incorporating, following the same movements of the samoan and looking for the RKO. Rikishi finally turns around and immediately the Legend Killer leaps going for the RKO, however, and out of nowhere, Rikishi is able to counter by letting Orton fly a little over him on the RKO movement and then secure him in a backslide pin variation: 1…2….3.

Result: Rikishi defeats Randy Orton.


Borash: He did it! He did it!

JBL: What?!


Rikishi rolls to the outside of the ring celebrating his victory, lifting his right arm taunting to the crowd in celebration.

Borash: One hell of a battle tonight, but let’s not lose focus on what really matters here tonight, Rikishi is finally again, a BTW contracted wrestler

.



It all escalades

Rikishi: Yeah, uhmm, strong words there Randy. I guess now this is the part in which you jump me and attack me out of nowhere trying to weaken me for our match.

Orton: I could very well do that, but Randy, you said it two weeks ago: we have no real reason to be fighting. I have no reason to attack you right here, right now. However, I promise you, that on Sunday, it will be a different story, because every punch I give to you, will be a message sent to each and every champion in the back, every RKO will be warning lighting for the rest of the roster, and with every kick to the head, well, I’ll only need one to end your career.

Crowd heavily boos.

Rikishi: Fair enough Randy. I see that you will be given it your all at Sunday. But I will promise you something. I will too. I will leave every drop of sweat, of blood, in this ring, just to beat you, and I guarantee you, I will.

Rikishi gets up and he stares at Randy Orton. Orton also gets up. Rikishi extends his right arm to Randy, expecting a hand shaking. Randy looks down and stares at the hand. The crowd starts booing out of a sudden. The camera widens the shot and we can see that Mark Henry and Umaga running down the ramp. Rikishi is distracted by Randy Orton and he gets jumped from behind by both behemoths.

Crushing C: You see Rikishi, Randy Orton said he didn’t have a reason to attack you. But he damn sure wasn’t talking about me. So how about you say hi to my, uhmm, back up plan.


Mark Henry and Umaga start stomping and beating on Rikishi. Randy Orton sees all what is happening, however he does nothing and gets out of the ring.

Randy Orton climbs right back to the apron, staring at Rikishi with a sadistic grin on his face. Orton walks to the corner from the outside and climbs to the top rope, where he waits for the samoan to get back to his senses. Rikishi starts getting back to his senses. He turns around and immediately Randy Orton leaps from the top looking to hit a crossbody plancha, however Rikishi is able to use his power by catch him in mid air. Rikishi arranges his opponent putting him in position and then he connects Randy Orton with a Fall-Away slam. Rikishi walks toward him and he makes the cover: 1…2…., Randy Orton gets one shoulder up keeping the match going. Rikishi seems a little frustrated; however, he still has his goal in target. Rikishi grabs Randy Orton by the arm and he drags him close to a corner. Rikishi lifts both his arms taunting to the crowd, getting a big amount of cheers form the audience. Rikishi then, with his back turned to the inside of the ring, starts making his way to the second rope. He then starts jumping a little over the rope testing its support. Rikishi finally goes for it as he drops from the ropes looking to connect Randy Orton with a Banzai Drop, however, right on time to avoid any contact, Randy Orton is able to get out of the way making Rikishi hurt himself landing sat on the canvas hard. Orton immediately slides away and he starts taunting for the RKO. Rikishi is still sitting on the canvas but he starts making slowly his way back to his feet, death waiting for him behind. Randy Orton slowly is incorporating, following the same movements of the samoan and looking for the RKO. Rikishi finally turns around and immediately the Legend Killer leaps going for the RKO, which gets connected. Orton takes his time before his is finally able to crawl toward his opponent and make the cover: 1…2…, Rikishi somehow kicks out!

Orton gets right back to his feet going berserk. He argues with the referee about the count, however he doesn’t get an answer. Orton immediately goes the outside of the ring and he grabs a steel chair. Orton returns to the inside of the ring with the chair in hand. The referee immediately rings the bell.

Result: Rikishi wins by DQ.


JBL: Oh come on ref, Randy didn’t use the chair!

JR: But we all know that no good son of a bitch was going to. Damn Randy Orton, he can’t get the win so he resorts to thinks like this.


Rikishi slowly makes his way back to his feet, walking right into a steel chair shot by Randy Orton. However, the Legend Killer is not over. He grabs Rikishi by the head and slowly he guides him back to his feet. Orton sets him up in a one arm headlock only to connect him with another RKO. The referee tries to step in and take Randy Orton out of the ring.

JR: Well done ref, take him out of the ring.


Rikishi shows his fighting spirit, as he starts moving and getting up to his knees and forearms, but with a knocked out look on his face. Orton in matter of seconds shoves the referee away and storms toward Rikishi, nailing him with the punt kick right into the head turning out Rikishi’s lights.

JR: No, No! Come on!

JBL: Nighty night prince. The few brain cells left in Rikishi just got kicked away.


Orton asks for a microphone on the outside of the ring, as the referee forces him finally to leave the ring.

Orton: Rikishi…welcome back to BTW.

Orton drops the microphone and walks up the ramp. Immediately coming from the back and passing right next to Orton, EMTs and doctors rush down into the ring, to take attention of the now injured Rikishi.

JBL: Finally, finally!

JR: Come on, you can’t tell me you are happy with what just happened, Rikishi has to have a concussion right now.

JBL: Hey, like you say, let’s look at the bright side, technically he did get the W tonight.

We see Crushing C sitting in front of the camera still in his office.

Crushing C: What you just saw was the complete and final inhalation of Rikishi, and as Rikishi rests in a hospital bed, I can finally say that punishment has been fully delivered, finally since Rebellion justice has been served and Rikishi has gotten what he deserves.

Crowd boos.

Crushing C: And no, it wasn’t me screwing Rikishi, it wasn’t Randy Orton screwing Rikishi, Rikishi screwed Rikishi.

Crowd boos heavily for the phrase.

Crushing C: However, as the business man I am, even if I personally don’t care about him, I know that there are some people that consider Rikishi their hero, and that’s why next week, live in BTW Nitro, I will five an update on the health of Rikishi

Crushing C: Something happened that very same day in the hospital that stopped that from happening. Luckily, I we have managed to get our hands on a video that apparently shows exactly what happened. So, let’s take a look shall we?


(The video starts and we see that it isn’t a security video, but a video made by someone. The camera is apparently over someone’s shoulders. The man takes the camera and puts it in front of its own face. He’s Crushing C.

He puts the camera back on over his right shoulder and starts walking. We see he’s walking on a corridor, until he stops in front of a door. He opens the door and enters the room. He walks close to one of the beds, and as he approaches to it, we see that the person lying on the bed it’s no other than Rikishi.

Crushing C keeps walking until he gets right next to the bed. Rikishi was asleep, but as Crushing C approached him, he awoke.

Rikishi: What the hell are you…

Rikishi doesn’t even finish his sentence, as Crushing C shows his true intentions on visiting him and he starts using the camera to attack Rikishi. The signal was dizzy as we only see an up and down, as the camera gets smashed against the humanity of Rikishi. Suddenly, it just stops. The camera is grabbed and turned, and so it shows the face of Crushing C.

Crushing C: Done.

The camera is turned off.)


Crowd heavily boos at the video. Crushing C has a grin on his face, which only causes the crowd to boo even more.

Crushing C: Rikishi, I speak for the entire BTW family when I express, get well soon.

Crowd heavily boos as signal fades back to the announcers.


JR: I can’t, I can’t believe this. I can’t believe the extents to Crushing C will go just to punish Rikishi.

JBL: It’s a like a holy mission, like a crusade, and until Rikishi is no longer in BTW…again, Crushing C will not rest.

Crushing C: At WrestleBowl, going one on one, in one corner, we will see Rikishi.

Crowd pops.

Crushing C: And on the other corner, it will be no other than yours truly, Crushing C.

Crowd boos at his mention.

Crushing C: Rikishi vs Crushing C at WrestleBowl!

Crushing C cheap shots Rikishi, as Crushing C nails him with a shot using the microphone directly into the wounded forehead of Rikishi. Crushing C smells blood and he repeatedly starts driving his fist and the microphone directly into the bandaged zone of the forehead of Rikishi.

JR: This is sick, awfully sick. Somebody has to get in there and stop this!


Crushing C then mercilessly rips off the bandage of the head of Rikishi and continues his attack, the forehead of Rikishi has turned into an open gash, and the samoan is knocked out not able to fight back. Crushing C finally stops his attack as he sees coming down the ramp a group of officials and referees rushing to stop the attack. Crushing C manages to stomp on the face of Rikishi before they enter the ring.

JR: Finally they do something!


Crushing C: If anyone tries to lay a single hand on me, I’ll fire you on the spot.

The officials keep themselves away from the GM, and instead they gather around Rikishi, checking on his state and trying to control the blood pouring down the gash of Rikishi.

Crushing C: Oh, and Rikishi, consider our match at WrestleBowl now a No…Holds…Barred Match!

JBL: Oh my God!

JR: I can’t believe this, the extend to which our so called General Manager would go to punish Rikishi are unbelievable. But maybe, at WrestleBowl, he might be biting more than he can chew.

It all ends…tonight

Rikishi: I will not lie, I am hurt like never, I am beaten like never, but on the same time, I have never, never felt more alive!

Crowd pops.

Rikishi: It has been a long road to where I am today, many, many people have gotten on my way, many people that have had nothing to do with me on the first place, and all because of one man, Crushing C.

Crowd heavily boos.

Rikishi: But finally, at WrestleBowl, there’s nobody else. No Randy Orton, no AJ Styles, nobody else, I finally, finally get one on one that no good piece of trash

.

Crushing C: RIKISHI SCREWED RIKISHI!

JR: I can’t believe this, the extend to which our so called General Manager would go to punish Rikishi are unbelievable. But maybe, at WrestleBowl, he might be biting more than he can chew.

Video ends with a divided screen showing Rikishi and Crushing C, each one on a different side.





“Samoan Coolness” plays to a huge ovation from the crowd as Rikishi makes his way out. Rikishi taunts to the stage to the fans, then makes his way down to the ramp. Rikishi isn’t smiling, he looks angry, all business, and ready to go. He enters the ring and raises his right hand taunting to the crowd, but again there isn’t a a smile on his face.

JR: You can see in that man’s face the anger, the anger he has felt inside for over a year.

Styles: But now JR, now he gets the boss in a No Holds Barred match, and somehow I think this is going to end up rather ugly.


“I’m in Charge” breaks through the PA system to a massive amount of boos from the Detroit fans as BTW’s GM, Crushing C, appears on the stage. Crushing C, unlike Rikishi, has a grin on his face, satisfied and obviously happy knowing that Rikishi has been destroyed in the last couple of weeks and is not 100% for tonight. Crushing C enters the ring and he stares at Rikishi. The referee rings the bell.

Rikishi and Crushing C stare at each other from opposite sides of the ring, with the intensity being obvious between the two. The samoan finally snaps and he storms toward Crushing C, clotheslining him down to the canvas. He then starts nailing the GM with a series of big straight right hands directed to the head of Crushing C. Rikishi doesn’t stop punching the head of his rival even when the referee tries to break in. Rikishi finally stops out of free will and gets back to his feet, then grabbing Crushing C by the hair Rikishi pulls him up to a vertical standing. Rikishi immediately walks toward the corner and he smashes the head of Crushing C against the turnbuckle. The samoan repeats the attack and smashes it once again. Rikishi smashes the head of his boss and nemesis once gain against the turnbuckle, shaking the brains of the evil Crushing C. Rikishi then grabs Crushing C by the back of the head and throws him over the top rope and to the outside of the ring, landing hard. The samoan remains on the inside of the ring taunting to the crowd. Crushing C pulls himself back to his feet laying his weight against the apron. Crushing C might have gotten back to his feet, but he hasn’t gotten far enough from Rikishi. Rikishi walks toward him and from the inside of the ring he grabs Crushing C by the hair, then mercilessly he pulls him up to the apron. Rikishi sets Crushing C, then he connects him with a Reverse Suplex from the apron down to the mat inside the ring. Rikishi looks down at his opponent, giving him a cold, dark look. Rikishi finally steps toward him and picks Crushing C up to his feet. Rikishi grabs Crushing C by the hair on the back of the head with his right hand, then starts connecting straight right hand after straight right hand, directly to the unprotected face of Crushing C. Crushing starts moving his hands in despair trying to grasp on to anything that could serve him as defense. What he finds is the referee’s shirt. Crushing C immediately pulls the referee right toward Rikishi, making Rikishi get away from Crushing C due to the coalition. Crushing C then takes advantage of this hole created by himself and he starts planting straight right hands to the head of the samoan. The punches are not very strong, but are delivered with such speed and in such a craze way that it forces Rikishi to back down toward a corner. Crushing C now connects him with a strong jab right to the jaw of his samoan opponent. Crushing C then humiliates Rikishi, as he slaps him. Crushing C steps back taking impulse, then turns around and storms in full speed toward the cornered samoan, however this time Rikishi is able to attack first as he puts his boot up and connects the running Crushing C right on the face knocking him down. Rikishi runs toward him and connects Crushing C with a powerful club right on the back of the neck, knocking Crushing C down to the canvas.

Rikishi taunts to the crowd and then grabs Crushing C by the neck of his shirt and pulls him up to a standing position. Rikishi then throws him hard toward the corner. The crowd roars as Rikishi has Crushing C cornered and opened to be attacked. The crowd continues cheering now even louder as he starts unloading straight right hands to the face and then he mixes up his punches with blows to the middle section. Rikishi runs doing a full circle ending in a clean run toward the cornered GM and then squashes him between the turnbuckle and the massive humanity of the Samoan himself. Rikishi then separates from the corner and grabs the staggering Crushing C and plants him with a sideslam. Rikishi gets back to his feet, and even though you would think he’s happy for punishing Crushing C, his face doesn’t show that. Rikishi rolls to the outside of the ring and starts searching from something under the weapon. He takes out a kendo stick. Rikishi slides back to the inside of the ring and starts taunting the floor GM, smacking the ring ropes with the kendo stick. Crushing C gingerly pulls himself up to a standing position, then unluckily turns around right into Rikishi, who receives him with a direct shot to the head, knocking Crushing C back to the canvas. The referee tries to control Rikishi, however there is really nothing he can do in a No Holds Barred match and to a big pop from the crowd Rikishi starts assaulting the floored Crushing C with the kendo stick. Rikishi finally stops his mauling and throws the kendo stick away. The camera zooms on the right arm of Crushing C, which along the back, was the body part that suffered the most punishment. The arm is already red and might turn into a darker bruise. Rikishi walks toward he threw the kendo stick and picks it back up, then walks back toward Crushing C. Rikishi, with his left hand occupied by holding the kendo stick, guides Crushing C back to his feet with the right hand. Rikishi places the kendo stick right over the throat of Crushing C, then sets him up and to the awe of the crowd Rikishi connects Crushing C with a kendo stick assisted Pump handle Slam. Rikishi stands in the middle of the ring and taunts to the crowd lifting his right hand. He then turns around, going to continue his long coming attack over Crushing C. Rikishi stares at Crushing C, who starts using the ring ropes as leverage to return to a standing position. Crushing C finally does so, however he isn’t able to remain over his two feet and he collapses backwards, ending laid against the ring ropes behind him. If it weren’t for the ropes, Crushing C might have fallen right back to the floor.

Rikishi measures the General Manager and he then storms toward Crushing C looking to connect him and ram him over the top rope, however Crushing C is somehow able to avoid it, and instead he lowers the top rope, letting Rikishi run all the way over the top rope and to the outside of the ring. Crushing C comes down to his knees losing his composure, but he shakes off the cobwebs and he rolls to the outside of the ring, following his opponent. Rikishi tries to get back to his feet, getting up to his knees, however Crushing C grabs his head and smashes right over the apron. Like an accordion, Rikishi bounces from the crash right back to his feet, but still groggy affected by the hit. Crushing C grabs Rikishi again by the back of the head and he throws him head first right into the ring post. Rikishi collides against it face first. Crushing C cockily smiles seeing Rikishi on the floor, with a newly opened cut on his face thanks to the ring post crashing. Rikishi crawls away from Crushing C, looking for something he can use to pull himself up. Crushing C walks toward Rikishi following him. Crushing C grabs Rikishi by the hair and pulls him up to his feet. Crushing C puts both his hands behind the back of the Samoan’s head, that way using all his strength to throw Rikishi over the announce table. JBL, Joey Styles and Jim Ross have to rapidly escape and that way not being squashed by Rikishi. That wasn’t truly necessary as Rikishi remains on top of the announcing table. Crushing C walks toward the table and from under Rikishi he pulls out the black lumber that serves as protection for the table and throws it away. He then grabs one of the monitors, rips out of its hole and throws it away. Crushing C grabs one of the cables remaining from the ripped monitor and he wraps it around the throat of Rikishi. Crushing C looks at the samoan right on the eyes before he starts choking him. Rikishi tries to defend himself, but quickly his air supply gets cut off, as Crushing C has the cable wrapped tight around the throat of Rikishi. Eventually, Rikishi stops fighting back, simply because he stops moving. It seems as if he passed out. Crushing C looks at this scene with a smile on his face. He steps away from the table. Crushing C’s face morphs from satisfaction and happiness, to hate. Hate towards Rikishi. Choking him out is not enough. Crushing C walks around the table and he gets behind it. Crushing C yells at Joey Styles telling him to get out of the way, as the commentator was trying to get back to his seat. Crushing C screams at the fans at ringside, telling them to get away. Crushing C climbs up to the guard rail, then taunts to the crowd lifting his arms up high. Crushing C looks down to Rikishi, who is still laid over the announcing table.

Crushing C finally leaps off from the guard rail, connecting Rikishi with a leg drop, breaking the table in the process. The crowd starts a holy shit chant, shocked at what they saw. However, the chant morphs into boos, once they realize the maneuver they are so shocked about was performed by Crushing C. Rikishi and Crushing C remain knocked out, laid to one another between what left of the announcing table. Slowly, both men start getting back to his feet. It is Crushing C the first one that recovers his standing position. He gingerly walks toward the apron. Rikishi goes toward the apron as well, only that he does so crawling. Crushing C, summoning strengths God knows from where, picks up Rikishi and rolls him to the inside of the ring. Crushing C slides to the interior of the squared circle following him. Apparently, Crushing C has fed his revenge hunger as he makes the cover, aiming to end the match: 1…2…, provoking a big pop from the crowd, Rikishi kicks out. Crushing C gets back to his feet and he stares angrily at the referee, then at the floored Rikishi. The crowd starts chanting for Rikishi, trying to motivate him into getting back into the match. Crushing C, not taking his eyes off from Rikishi, slowly removes his belt. Crushing C hoists his belt up high before he lashes Rikishi like an animal with it. Crushing does the same for a second time, then for a third, for a fourth, for a fifth, each time harder and faster. Crushing C finally stops this assault, but not ceases completely his attack as Crushing C extends the belt and uses it to again choke Rikishi. After about twenty seconds choking the Samoan, Crushing C throws the belt to his left, rolls Rikishi and makes the cover: 1…2…, Rikishi kicks out. Crushing C seems angry about it, but he quickly overcomes it and goes to continue his offense, as he rolls to the outside of the ring. Crushing C looks for his next weapon from under the ring, and he takes out a wooden baseball bat. Crushing C stares at Rikishi for a while from the outside of the ring, enjoying looking at how he struggles to get back to his feet. Finally, the GM returns to the inside of the ring and taunts to Rikishi and the crowd swinging the baseball bat back and forth. Rikishi is already up to one knee, continuing his efforts to get fully up to his feet. Crushing C hits the canvas with the bat announcing what’s next for his opponent. He finally storms toward the samoan looking to knock his head off with the baseball bat, but Rikishi, who is now fully back to his feet, is able to attack first as he connects the General Manager with a hard Sidekick, which impact sends Crushing rolling to the outside of the ring. Rikishi smiles and he follows his opponent to the outside, where he continues his assault planting Crushing C with big straight right hands. Rikishi then grabs Crushing C by the back of the head and throws him toward the ring post. Crushing C crashes with it head first. Rikishi whips out some of his blood covering his forehead and he rubs it over the face of Crushing C.

Rikishi grabs Crushing C by the back of the head again and then he begins crashing the head of his opponent repeatedly against the ring post and then to the apron, until he finally throws Crushing C back to the inside of the ring. Rikishi follows him and he puts the boots on the General Manager, stomping repeatedly the face of Crushing C. The samoan steps back and after looking around the Ford Field, Rikishi starts taunting Crushing C, waiting for him to get back to his feet. Crushing C slowly, not in a good shape thanks to all the punishment delivered by the revengeful Rikishi, starts getting up. The GM finally gets back to his feet and he turns around facing the Samoan. Rikishi immediately advances toward him and goes for the Savate Kick, which connects perfectly right on the face of Crushing C knocking him down to the mat. Rikishi measures him and connects a big leg drop across the throat and chest. Rikishi then, with a maniacal smile on his face, drags the general manager by one arm close to the corner. The crowd roars knowing what’s next. Rikishi climbs to the second rope turning his back to the inside of the ring and after a few seconds of expectation, Rikishi finally connects Crushing C with a chest and sternum crushing Banzai Drop. Rikishi gets up to his feet and stares at Crushing C. He doesn’t capitalize on the maneuver of makes the cove, he just stares at Crushing C, who isn’t even moving. However, and out of nowhere, a man slides to the inside of the ring. The camera first can’t see who he is as his back is the one on camera shot, but when the camera angle changes, we see that it is AJ Styles, who has a chair on his hands. He waits for Rikishi to turn around. The samoan finally does so and gets immediately planted by a powerful shot to the head with the steel chair shot that knocks him out. The crowd heavily boos at all of this. Styles has a big bandage covering his head, still feeling the effects of the Monster’s Ball match from earlier in the evening. AJ then drags Crushing C and puts him on top of Rikishi: 1…2…, Rikishi kicks out! AJ cannot believe it. He drags Crushing C away from Rikishi then grabbing the Samoan by the head starts guiding him up to his feet. AJ measures the groggy Rikishi, turns around and connects him with the Pele Kick. Styles walks back toward Crushing C and again he drags him and puts him on top of Rikishi. The referee looks disgusted but he has to make the cover: 1…2…, Rikishi kicks out yet again! AJ Styles seems totally infuriated about this, not knowing how the hell Rikishi still manages to keep kicking out. AJ grabs Rikishi by the hair and pulls him up back to a standing position.

AJ turns around giving his back to Rikishi probably going for yet another Pele Kick, however the Samoan snaps back to his senses and he pushes AJ away toward the ring ropes. Styles goes against the ropes, however he jumps to the second rope and springboards, moonsaulting over Rikishi and perfectly executing Phenomenon, as he lands behind the Samoan hooking him in an Inverted Facelock. AJ goes to drop him connecting his Reverse DDT, however Rikishi reverses with an arm twist turning it into a Samoan Drop. Rikishi explodes back to his feet, screaming out loud venting his frustrations. Rikishi walks toward Crushing C and he drags him before putting it on top of AJ Styles. Rikishi walks toward the corner and he climbs to the second rope. He turns his head measuring Crushing C and AJ Styles below, before finally letting himself fell performing another Banzai Drop. Crushing C however somehow manages to roll out of the way avoiding the crash, and letting AJ Styles take all the damage. AJ Styles contorts in pain holding his chest, then slowly he rolls out of the ring. Rikishi gets up and turns around looking for Crushing C, however he gets connected by a shot to the knee by the GM, who recovered and grabbed the baseball bat. Crushing C slowly gathers himself together and gets back to his feet. Crushing C throws the baseball bat at Rikishi, crashing it right on the head. Crushing C rolls to the outside of the ring and from under the ring he takes out a table. Crushing C slides to the inside of the ring, then again starts looking from something else. The GM finally takes out a pair of handcuffs. The crowd heavily boos as Crushing C slides back to the inside of the ring with the handcuffs in hand. Crushing C walks toward Rikishi and grabs the right hand of the Samoan, looking to lock it inside the handcuffs, however Rikishi out powers Crushing C and forces his hand right against the throat of Crushing C. Rikishi gets back to his feet without releasing the GM, then Rikishi hoists his opponent over his head, Military Pressing him. Rikishi walks toward the ring ropes, then mercilessly he throws Crushing C from over his head all the way down to the guard rail. Crushing C hurts his throat against the steel of the barricade. Rikishi stares at Crushing C still from the inside of the ring, and when the GM starts recovering, he gets out from the ring to the apron. Rikishi measures his opponent and waits for him to turn around. Finally Crushing C does so, and Rikishi flies through the airs coming from the apron and right into Crushing C connecting him with a Double Axe Handle right to the neck, doubling Crushing C in pain. Rikishi grabs the plastic like protector of the concrete floor of the outside and he removes it, leaving the cement exposed.

Rikishi grabs Crushing C by the hair and guides him up to his feet. He locks Crushing C in a front waistlock, used as a set up to connect Crushing C with a side belly to belly suplex right into the exposed concrete floor. Rikishi slowly gets back to his feet, and when he does so, he walks toward the announcing table. He reaches it and he asks the time keeper to give him the steel chair he was sitting in. Rikishi grabs it and he slides it to the inside of the ring. Rikishi grabs Crushing C and just as he threw the chair to the inside, he throws Crushing C into the ring. Rikishi follows him and back in the ring, Rikishi grabs the steel chair and unfolds it in the middle of the ring, then he picks up Crushing C guiding him up to his feet, however he gets stopped as AJ Styles starts crawling up to the apron. Rikishi sees him. He releases Crushing C, then storms toward AJ Styles, tackling him off from the apron, propelling AJ Styles from the apron all the way to the guard rail, crashing against it head first. The referee calls for officials and EMTs to come from the back. They answer to the referee’s calling and they rush down the ramp to help AJ Styles. They pick the Phenomenal up and finally take him away and to the back. Rikishi stares at all of this, getting distracted from Crushing C. Rikishi finally turns around going to continue his attack, however he gets received by a baseball bat aided low blow. The Samoan immediately collapses down to his knees holding his nuts in pain. Crushing C measures the kneeled Rikishi, then mercilessly swings the baseball bat connecting his opponent right on the face. Rikishi starts bleeding even more profusely, getting his wound reopened. Crushing C makes the cover: 1…2…, Rikishi kicks out! Crushing C wipes out the sweet from his forehead then goes to continue the attack on his opponent. He grabs the steel chair and sets it closer to Rikishi. Crushing C then picks his opponent up and grabbing Rikishi by the back of the head starts trying to throw Rikishi face flat against the steel of the chair, however Rikishi shows his resilience blocking the attempts, but even though Rikishi is blocking and fighting back, his face remains expressionless, his brain still affected by the huge baseball bat shot. Rikishi starts nailing body shots right to the ribs of Crushing C, finally accomplishing to hurl the GM away. Rikishi dashes to the ring ropes behind and comes right back toward Crushing C, however Crushing C reacts first and he drop toe holds the running Rikishi dropping him right into the set steel chair. Rikishi hits his throat on the chair, horribly hurting it. Rikishi immediately starts coughing blood. The crowd buzzes, everyone worried about the well being of the Samoan.

Crushing C walks toward the table, still laid on the canvas. Crushing C picks it up and sets it close to the corner. Crushing C turns around and stares at the floored Samoan. He then drops down to the canvas and gets right in the face of Rikishi, and to a lot of boos from the Detroit fans, he continues his yearlong humiliation tactics on Rikishi, as he badmouths him, telling “this is what you deserve you son of a bitch. Did you enjoy it? Uh, did you enjoy it you fat son of a bitch.” Crushing C slaps Rikishi. He continues staring at the Samoan before he slaps him for the second time. Rikishi seems to have gotten fired up by this and he starts trying to get up, he starts fighting his way back to his feet, just like he has done for all this year. Crushing C however puts a stop to this attempts connecting a vicious kick to the face of Rikishi, knocking his opponent down to the canvas. Crushing C finally picks Rikishi by the hair and as always when handling Rikishi, Crushing C summons all his strengths and guides the Samoan back to his feet. Crushing C gets Rikishi in a front facelock and starts walking backwards, taking Rikishi closer and closer to the already set table. But before Crushing C is able to do anything, the bleeding Rikishi gets a rush of adrenaline and he turns the situation in his favor as out of nowhere he back body drops Crushing C. Rikishi quickly unfolds and grabs the steel chair. Crushing C turns around and storms right back toward the Samoan, only to receive a hard shot to the face by Rikishi who uses the steel chair. Rikishi’s body gets filled with anger and he unleashes it all over Crushing C, blasting the steel chair all over the humanity of his boss. Rikishi bends and gets face to face to the knocked out Crushing C and tells him “Yes, and I am enjoying this”, before smashing the chair right on the temple of Crushing C. Rikishi drops the steel chair to his right, then grabs Crushing C by the hair with both his hands and slowly guides him up to his feet. Once he gets up to a standing position, Rkishi shoves him backwards and closer to a corner. Crushing C has a gash on the side of the head, product of the last chair shot Rikishi gave him. Rikishi picks up again his weapon of choice, the steel chair, and blasts Crushing C yet again with it right on the face. Crushing C collapses backwards, ending motionless sitting on the canvas laid against the corner. The Detroit crowd explodes knowing what Rikishi does to his opponents when they end up in that same position. Rikishi stares at the floored Crushing C, and not removing his eyes from him, he lifts his arms up high and he announces what’s next, confirming to the crowd what they already know he was going to do. The taunt is rare as even though Rikishi is “raising the roof”, his face shows no happiness, and all it shows is anger and hunger for revenge.

Rikishi walks toward Crushing, and incrementing the cheers from the audience he turns around, putting his ass closer to the face of his boss. Finally, Rikishi forces his ass into the face of Crushing C, performing his Stink Face as he rubs his ass all over the face of Crushing C. Rikishi stops it and walks away from Crushing C. The stink face finally drew a smile on his face. Rikishi grabs Crushing C by the arm, pulls him back to his feet and then towards him, connecting a Samoan Drop. Rikishi gets back to his feet and screams “YEAHHH” out loud, staring then at the knocked out, bloodied Crushing C knowing he is getting his payback. Rikishi turns around and he sees the table already set close to a corner. Rikishi immediately rolls to the outside of the ring and he starst looking from something under the ring. He takes out yet another table. Rikishi slides to the inside of the ring, then he does the same returning to the interior of the squared circle. Rikishi picks up the table and walks toward the already set table. Rikishi puts the recently brought table over the already set table, and he then sets his table over it, completing the two table tower. Rikishi walks toward Crushing C and picks him back to his feet. He grabs him by the hair on the back of the head and gets forehead to forehead with him. Rikishi then says to him “I want you to see me break you, in two!” Rikishi then picks up Crushing C and hoists him over his head in a Military Press. Rikishi walks toward the table tower and sets Crushing right on top. Rikishi then leaves the ring to the apron and walks toward the corner, climbing to the top rope. Rikishi looks down measuring the distance between the corner and the tower table. Everyone in attendance are on their feet, getting their cameras ready for the big moment. Crushing C remains immobile on top of the two tables, stacked one over the other. Rikishi slowly gets ready in the perfect position, with his back turned to the inside of the ring. The crowd rallies behind him and starts a huge “Rikishi” chant, which prompts a smile on Rikishi’s face that he cannot hide. Finally, Rikishi leaps off from the top rope connecting a huge Banzai Drop that squashes Crushing C and puts him through the two stacked tables. Rikishi also suffers a little in the maneuver, and he remains floored on the canvas next to immobile Crushing C, who after this might very well be dead. Rikishi gets himself back to his feet and raises his right hand up high taunting to the crowd. He then looks down to the carcass of Crushing C, bloodied and not moving. Rikishi drops down to his knees and makes the cover, the crowd counts along with the referee: 1…2…3.

Result: Rikishi defeats Crushing C.


Styles: He has done it! Rikishi exorcised his demons and just defeated Crushing C!

JBL: How can you be happy about that? Crushing C is badly hurt, and he needs help NOW!

Styles: Oh, it couldn’t have happened to a nicer man.


Rikishi’s face reflects what indeed happened: he got a huge weight off from his back. He finally gave Crushing C what he had coming. The referee walks toward him and raises his hand announcing him as the winner, then quickly calls back the EMTs and officials.

JBL: Yeah, bring them out. My God, our boss might very well be dead.


EMTs come from the back with a stretcher. They rush down the ramp and leave the stretcher at ringside. Two officials go to the inside of the ring and they pick Crushing C up, then carefully they take him out of the ring and place him on top of the stretcher. Rikishi watches all of this with a smile on his face.

JR: You never want to see a man severely hurt, but in this case…


Officials and EMTs finally take up the ramp the stretcher, carrying Crushing C to the back to receive medical help. Rikishi looks at him leave, and mockingly he waves at him. Crushing C apparently has something inside of him as he lifts his head a little so that he can watch Rikishi and then he shows Rikishi his middle finger. Rikishi does nothing but laugh at this.

JR: As long as the devil is breathing.


Rikishi stands alone in the middle of the ring and he soaks in the huge ovation from the Detroit fans. Suddenly, lights go out. Fans buzz not knowing what is happening, but a few seconds after they start cheering as neon blue and pink lights flash all over the arena and music starts playing, revealing Rikishi dancing in the middle of the ring celebrating his victory!

Styles: Haha, it is Rikishi’s first ever BTW dance, and it happens right here, in WrestleBowl!

JR: But moving on ladies and gentlemen, folks all around the home, this has been a hell of a night, but it’s time for the cherry on top of it, the BTW World Heavyweight Championship Match.

JBL: We have seen a lot of things here tonight, but nothing, nothing is more important than this.

JR: Brock Lesnar, Triple H, collide here, and now.

19 man Battle Royal
Brock Lesnar vs Edge vs Randy Orton vs Jeff Hardy vs Mr. Kennedy vs Rob Van Dam vs MVP vs Elijah Burke vs Samoa Joe vs Bob Sapp vs Test vs Albert vs Orlando Jordan vs Maven vs CM Punk vs Mark Henry vs AJ Styles vs Colt Cabana vs Paul Heyman


Jeff Hardy walks toward the middle of the ring where he meets Brock Lesnar. Both men stare at each other before going at it. They exchange blows and trade fists. However, Jeff Hardy gets the upperhand by connecting a toe kick right to the middle section. Hardy goes to set up the Twist of Fate, however Brock counters and he gets him over his shoulders setting him in position. Lesnar goes to spin him and connect the F-5, but Hardy reverses as well, lands over his two feet on the canvas, and when Brock turns around he finally connects him with the Twist of Fate. Hardy is absolutely on fire. Jeff takes his shirt off and walks toward the corner, where he climbs to the top rope. There he taunts to the crowd and announces the Swanton Bomb. Jeff Hardy finally launches from the top and flies through the air looking to connect the Swanton Bomb, however, and right on the nick of time, Brock Lesnar rolls out of the way making Hardy fail. Jeff lands with suck strength that he almost bounces right back to his feet. Brock grabs him by the head, and throws him over the top rope to the outside of the ring.

Result: Brock Lesnar wins!


JR: MY GOD, it’s over, it’s over, Lesnar did it, Lesnar is going to WrestleBowl.

JBL: And now Brock has a date with destiny, at Ford Field against Triple H for the BTW World Heavyweight Championship

Brock Lesnar appears on the stage and he jogs. He walks down the ramp taunting to the crowd. Brock salutes some fans on his way down until he finally enters the ring. Brock, with a mic in hand, lets the crowd reaction die down before starting to speak.

Lesnar: I…


“The Game” plays to a lot of boos as Triple H appears on a suit interrupting Brock Lesnar. He has the BTW World Heavyweight Championship wrapped around his waist.

JR: And here we go, right at it and right away!


Triple H is also rocking dark sunglasses. He walks down the ramp arrogantly and showing his confidence, we see Triple H make his complete entrance, ignoring Brock Lesnar all during it until The Game settles in the middle of the ring right in front of Brock Lesnar,

special, you think your special you do,
i can see it in your eyes i can see it when you laugh at me look down
on me and, you walk around on me just one more fight
about your leadership and i will straight up leave your shit
cause i've had enough of this and now i'm pissed (yeah)
this time i'm a let it all come out this time i'm a stand up
and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway

HHH: Brock, let me leave something to you absolutely clear, at WrestleBowl, you will not be going to face 18 other men and throw them over the top rope. You’re not going to face Bob Sapp and his overweight cheerleader. No, you’re jumping two feet into the ocean and step into the ring with The Game. At WrestleBowl, you’ll stop messing with the little feet, and instead, get right on the face of the biggest, meanest shark in the ocean.


HHH: Don’t get me wrong Brock. You’re a monster, you’re a damn beast. Amateur wrestler, college all American, you have every gift a man can be given, but in this ring, you cannot touch me. You are good, but not on my level good, Brock. Brock, I have defeated the best this business has to offer and I do just that day after day after day, and believe me, you don’t even come close.

A group of fans start a “Triple H sucks” chant.

HHH: And at WrestleBowl, whether you like it or not, I am going to eat you alive, retain my World Heavyweight Championship and show you, the thousands of attendance and the millions watching at home, why I am that damn good, and better than you

this time i'm a let it all come out this time
i'm a stand up and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway

HHH: So Brock, keep telling yourself that you’re on my league, keep telling yourself you deserve to be my challenger, keep telling yourself you’re going to beat me just like you beat Bob Sapp, because maybe then the chokejob you pull on that night won’t be that hard.

Lesnar: Hunter, answer me something. Do really believe on all that crap you try to feed all this fans?

just one more
fight about a lotta things and i will give up everything to be on my own again,
free again this time i'm a let it all come out this time
i'm a stand up and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway

HHH: Brock, you’re not getting three matches against me, no Brock, you’re getting only one shot at me, one only chance to seize that ring, to seize that bigger than life moment, you’re getting only chance to step into the ring with The Game and try to rip this belt out of my hands and , quite frankly Brock, and even though this people cheer for you, deep inside they know it too, you’re not good enough to do it. Hell, you’re not good enough for me to even consider you opposition.

this time i'm a let it all come out this time
i'm a stand up and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway someday you'll see things my way cause you never know,
no ya never know when your gonna go

HHH: In interest of fairness, Brock and I go way back, way more than just six weeks. We go way back to 2002. I don’t know who the hell lost his smile back then, but somehow Brock was the champion. The thing is, the second he knew he was entering the right with me, he tucked his tail between his legs and…changed brands. We also go back to five months ago, back when Brock was getting his ass kicked week in and week out by Goldberg and Bob Sapp, while I…

Crowd interrupts him with boos.

HHH: While I was becoming the World Champion. And we also go back about two months ago, when in one night I did what it took Brock Lesnar almost half year and beat one two three Bob Sapp.

HHH: OK, I’ll tell you how it is, Next Big Thing. You have never been on my league, not on your best day. You are not more than a lucky kid who was on the right place at the right time, and who has never had the talent or the balls to take it to the next level. That’s why you have always been a failure, a failure as a wrestler, as a human being, as a football player, and especially, especially a failure in big match situations

Lesnar: For six weeks, during these six weeks, you have done nothing more than run your mouth.

Lesnar: So since you like running your mouth senseless to give a simple message, let me summarize it for you, let me summarize what WrestleBowl will be for you…

Crowd roars in expectation and excitement.

Lesnar: At Wrestlebowl, Here comes the pain

someday
you'll see things my way cause you never know,
no ya never know when your gonna go just one more fight
and i'll be history yes i will straight up leave your shit
and you'll be the one who's left missing me (yeah)
this time i'm a let it all come out this time
i'm a stand up and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway this time i'm a let it all come out this time i'm a stand up
and shout i'm a do things my way,
it's my way, my way
or the highway

HHH and Brock Lesnar get face to face to each other. The slugfest quickly turns into a brawl. Both men try to prove who is the most powerful in an intense brawl, which finally takes them to the outside of the ring. Triple H smashes the head of Brock against the announcing table, but Brock shakes it off and gets revenge by throwing The Game against the ring apron, making The Game hit spine first against the edge of it. Triple H slugs into the inside of the ring, being quickly followed by Brock, however it is all a set up as The Game receives him with a Lou Thesz Press and on the canvas he mauls him with straight right hands to the face. BTW officials finally come out and they rush to the ring. It takes ten officials to separate both men from each other.

someday you'll see things my way cause you never know,
when ya never know when your gonna go someday
you'll see things my way cause you never know,
when ya never know

HHH: At WrestleBowl, Here Comes The Game!

A hole opens in the stage in between Motorhead and slowly the BTW World Heavyweight Champion gets elevated. HHH reaches the stage and he paces in between Motorhead taunting to the crowd. The World Championship shimmers around his waist. HHH drinks from his bottle and spits the water making his classic taunt. HHH gets down of the stage and starts walking down the ramp towards the ring.


I am the game, you don't wanna play me.
I am control, no way you can change me.
I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me.
I am the pain and I know you can't take me.

HHH, now on the apron, again drinks water and spits it, doing the Game fountain. Triple H steps to the inside of the ring and climbs to every corner taunting to the crowd showing off the gold around his waist.


It's all about the game and how you play it.
It's all about control and if you can take it.
It's all about your debt and if you can pay it.
It's all about pain and who's gonna make it.

Triple H paces on the inside of the ring and when Motorhead ends his song he points at Lemmy prompting the crowd to applaud him. Motorhead gets a standing ovation.


JBL: JR, there’s only one man good enough to have worldwide famous band Motorhead perform your theme song, and that, is The Game.

Styles: Let’s see if he can wrestle tonight as good as his entrance was.

JBL: Are you kidding me? He is the Game, he lives for nights like this. He is built for championship matches.

JR: There I agree. I won’t be trading Christmas cards with Triple H, but I won’t be the one to deny the god given ability of the Cerebral Assassin.



“Here Comes the Pain” plays to a massive ovation from the crowd as Brock Lesnar makes his way out from the back. Brock stands on the stage and there he makes his classic jogging, getting more and more fired up. Lesnar starts making his way down the ramp, not removing his eyes from the champion, who waits for him on the inside of the ring. Brock stops at ringside and again he starts jogging. Triple H starts badmouthing him. Brock finally leaps up to the apron. The moment his feet touch the apron a ton of pyro trigger coming off from the ring posts. Brock enters the ring and he stands in the middle of the ring.

Triple H and Brock Lesnar stare at each other. HHH has a confident grin on his face, while Brock Lesnar uses the top rope to stretch. The referee finally rings the bell and immediately both men step to the middle of the ring and they start circling each other. Triple H out of a sudden stops and takes a step towards Lesnar. Triple H then starts pointing at the crowd, taunting Brock Lesnar. The Game then passes his hands over his waist and tells at Brock: “I’m the champion.” Lesnar flashes a smile at this and both men continue circling each other. They finally meet in the middle of the ring in a collar elbow tie up. Both men try to overpower the other one. Triple H starts getting the advantage as he makes Brock Lesnar back down. Lesnar however lashes out and he hurls Triple H down to the canvas over his back all the way to the corner. Triple H, down from the corner, looks up to Brock Lesnar, a little surprised at being overpowered this easily by the challenger. Brock taunts at Triple H as he does his characteristic jogging. Triple H snaps at this and gets right back to his feet and avalanches toward his challenger, both entering another collar elbow tie up. Nobody gets the clear advantage at first, but Brock finally overpowers The Game again and hurls him backwards sending Triple H down to the canvas. Brock realizes Triple H is staring at him infuriated at how the match is starting and trying to get on his mind, Brock performs again his jogging. Triple H gets back up and for the third time he goes toward Brock Lesnar meeting another tie up. But this time, instead of letting it as a power comparison, Triple H uses his brains to get the advantage, driving his knee to the middle section of the Next Big Thing doubling him in pain. Triple H follows up with a hard punch right to the forehead, imprinting his knuckles on the face of Brock. Triple H connects a second right hand weakening Brock Lesnar and then he locks in a side headlock. Triple H applies with strength trying to drain all the energy he can out of his challenger. Before Brock finds his way out of the maneuver, Triple H morphs the hold floating over Lesnar and going behind him locking him in a hammerlock. Triple H keeps it locked in, then slowly he puts his right boot behind the left knee of Brock Lesnar, finally staggering Brock away in a very humiliating way. Brock gets back to his feet and turns around staring at Triple H, who answers with a really cocky attitude, asking Brock Lesnar to bring it. Brock dashes toward The Game looking to knock him down with a clothesline, however Triple H ducks the attempt letting Brock pass by. Lesnar turns around and Triple H locks him in another side headlock. He keeps it locked in for a couple of seconds, then Triple H takes down Brock to the canvas. The Game keeps the lock, however Brock Lesnar counters with leg scissors, wrapping his tree like legs around the head of Triple H.

Triple manages to slither out of the hold and both men get back to their feet. The crowd gets even hotter as both men stare at one another. Brock and Triple H walk away from each other backwards to different ends of the ring, then they start circling each other once again. The Cerebral Assassin starts doing what he does best, messing with the head of his opponent; playing mind games. Triple H runs his mouth telling at Lesnar “you don’t belong here. You know that don’t you?” Brock finally has enough of it and he storms toward Triple H looking for a clothesline, but yet again Triple H ducks avoiding the decapitating blow letting Brock pass by. Lesnar turns around and Triple H starts unloading haymakers, connecting straight right hand after straight right hand. Lesnar tries to lash out with a punch, but Triple H ducks again and continues unfolding punches to the face of the Next Big Thing. The crowd doesn’t like how the match is going and they start chanting Brock’s name out loud. Triple H continues his slug fest over Brock, but the crowd support seems to motivate Brock as he, again, bringing his power game into play, just pushes Triple H away. Triple H gets hurled all the way across the ring toward the ring ropes. The Game bounces back and goes toward Brock, however Lesnar, probably still a little dizzy from all the punches he endured, bends a little too early which allows the champion to connect with his facebreaker knee smash. Brock takes the hit and collapses down to one knee. Triple H goes to follow up this attack and he dashes to the ring ropes on his right. The Game comes right back looking to attack Brock, but Lesnar reacts first and connects a brutal kneeled clothesline, bringing The Game down to the canvas. Brock makes the first cover of the match: 1…2…, Triple H kicks out. Brock will have to do much more to end The King of King’s title reign. Apparently Brock knows that as without even arguing with the referee he gets back to his feet going to continue the match. Lesnar grabs The Game by the hair and pulls him back to his feet. He locks in a reverse waistlock, lifts Triple H up and then explodes toward the corner, squashing Triple H against the turnbuckles. Brock focuses his attack on the middle section of the champion, as he starts to repeatedly connect his characteristic turnbuckle thrusts, practically breaking the champion in half. The referee steps in and he tells Brock to step away, creating some separation and letting Triple H catch a short break. It is indeed rather short as Brock shoves the referee away and again goes toward Triple H going to hit another shoulder thrust, however this time Triple H has the attack telegraphed and he moves out of the way letting Brock go all the way through the ropes until his shoulder meets the steel of the ring post hurting himself.

Triple H walks and gets behind the hurt Brock Lesnar. Lesnar slowly pulls himself away from the ring post. He gets back to his feet and turns around, only to get clotheslined by Triple H. The clothesline rolls him over the top rope to the outside of the ring. Triple H doesn’t follow Brock to the outside of the ring, and instead he walks to the middle of the ring where he taunts at the crowd, taking pride at how he has gotten the best of Brock Lesnar so long in the match. The crowd responds mostly with boos toward the champion, although there is a contingent cheering and applauding the actions of The King of Kings. Brock Lesnar however recovers really fast on the outside and quickly he slides back to the inside of the ring. Triple H has his back turned on him, too busy taunting to the crowd. He finally turns around and walks right into Brock, who connects a big straight right hand that makes Triple H staggers backwards and then drops to one knee. Triple H bounces up like an accordion and throws a punch of his own trying to answer back, however the challenger blocks and lands a second punch. Triple H takes it the same way and then tries to once again answer back, only to get blocked and punch for the second time. Triple H gets staggered backwards and when he goes back to Brock, he throws an even harder, angrier shot, however Lesnar easily avoids it stepping backwards. Triple H threw the punch with such strength that he spins not being able to control his own strength. Brock rushes toward The Game and locks him, now that he has his back turned on him thanks to the spin, in a waistlock, used as a set up for a huge German Suplex. Brock Lesnar explodes back to his feet and taunts to the crowd flexing his pectorals and screaming out loud. Triple H gets slowly back to his feet, but Brock quickens his rising by grabbing him by the head and pulling The Game up. Brock then picks Triple H up and slams him down to the mat. Having the champion grounded, Brock retakes the middle section he previously punished with his turnbuckle thrusts and locks in a grounded Bearhug. Triple H’s face gets face rather fast, quickly losing his breath while being inside this variation of a Bearhug. However, Triple H digs deep in and resourcefully The Game digs his fingers into the eyeballs of Brock, forcing him to let him go. The referee verbally grounds Triple H for his actions as soon as he gets back to his feet. Brock, blinded as he has his right hand over his eyes, starts getting back to his feet getting up to one forearm and his knee. Triple H walks toward him and kicks him right on the left calf, collapsing him back down to the mat.

Triple H puts the boots over Brock Lesnar, stomping all over the left leg of Brock, focusing all his attack over that body part. The Game grabs the leg of Brock Lesnar, puts it under his armpit not releasing it with his arms, and then Triple H snaps backwards, pulling the leg of Lesnar down with him, in an attempt of punishing more Brock’s leg by hyper extending the knee. Triple H makes the cover hooking exactly the left leg of Brock and crossing it over Brock’s own humanity: 1…2…. Lesnar kicks out. Triple H doesn’t seem too affected by this as he is clearly looking forward to inflict more pain to the leg of Brock. The Game gets back to his feet and he grabs again Brock’s left leg and drags him closer to the middle of the ring. There, Triple H drops his right elbow across the leg of Lesnar, punishing it more. Triple H stays on top of the leg and using his arm as leverage point, he pulls and bends the leg of Brock into awkward angles. Triple H finally breaks this hold and gets back to his feet. He grabs Brock by the head and brings him slowly back to his feet. Triple H sets Brock and then drops him over his right leg connecting an inverted atomic drop. With this, The Game now has attacked both Triple H’s legs, severely weakening the vertical standing of the Next Big Thing. Triple H doesn’t release the leg of Brock and when Lesnar collapses down to the canvas, Triple H spins over the right leg of Lesnar aiming to lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock. The crowd undeniably “Wooos”, remembering Triple H’s long time mentor, the Nature Boy Ric Flair. However, when Triple H spins over the leg, Brock counters using his other leg to kick Triple H on the lower back hurling him away. Triple H gets staggered toward the ring ropes in front of him. His chest hits the ropes and bounces back right toward Brock, who favoring his more punished left leg gets back to his feet, hooks the champion up and connects him with the second German Suplex of the match. Triple H crawls away from Brock Lesnar, trying to escape out of the ring. The Game reaches the apron before he gets grabbed by Brock Lesnar. From inside the ring, the challenger picks Triple H by the hair and brings him up to his feet in the apron. Brock sets Triple H and connects a suplex bringing him the hard way back to the inside of the ring. Brock makes the cover: 1…2…, Triple H kicks out. Brock remembers of his strategy earlier in the match and stays over Triple H, not letting him breath, locking in the Bearhug again. Triple H starts searching for a way out with despair, moving his arms all over the place looking for a way out. Finally, Triple H starts getting up to his knees trying to recover his vertical standing, however Brock tightens up his lock over the ribs of Triple H bringing him back down to the canvas.

Brock Lesnar floats over the floored Triple H and showing his mat wrestling abilities thanks to his amateur background, changes his bearhug into a front facelock, wrapping his huge arms around the neck of Triple H cutting down his air supply. Brock then drops down from his knees to his ass sitting on the canvas, keeping the facelock synched in. Brock then starts trying to pull backwards to successfully lock in a guillotine. Triple H however manages to turn that situation into his favor as he lets himself go over Brock Lesnar, forcing his weight over him making Brock indeed go backwards all the way over his shoulders getting put in a pinfall situation: 1…2…, Brock kicks out breaking up the lock and letting Triple H free. Both men get back to their feet. Triple H seems slower, as he holds his middle section in pain, even breathing heavier. Brock walks toward him looking to attack him, but even though The Game’s physique is hurt, his brains aren’t. and he receives Brock with direct kick to the left leg doubling Brock in pain. Triple H gathers himself and he dashes to the ring ropes behind him, then bounces back looking to mount some offense, however Brock reacts first snapping back to his feet and connecting a huge over the head belly-to-belly suplex. Brock crawls toward Triple H and makes the cover, putting all his weight over Triple H not only making it harder to kick out, but punishing more the ribs of The Game: 1…2…, Triple H still kicks out keeping the match going. Brock gets back to his feet and he grabs Triple H by the arm and pulls him up with him. Brock tries to Irish Whip The Game to the corner, however the BTW World Champion shows signals of life and he blocks this attempt, finally looking to counter them, sidestepping and instead he tries to Irish Whip Lesnar. But Brock counters Triple H’s counters throwing the King of Kings to the corner he originally intended to. The Game gets irish whipped so hard that he rolls over the corner, falling to the outside of the ring. Brock remains on the inside of the ring for a couple of seconds, hitting his own left calf trying to bring back some feeling into it. Brock Lesnar finally walks to the outside of the ring. There, he picks Triple H up and Irish Whips him hard toward the guard rail. Triple H collides against it hitting his chest against the steel of the barricade, however, that isn’t all, as Triple H gets thrown with such strength that he rolls over the guard rail landing over his back. The fans at ringside barely have time to get out of the way. Fans there are pumped to have the World Heavyweight Champion so close to them –between them, and so they cheer for him to get back to his feet and into the fight. Triple H starts doing so and he crawls toward the barricade. Triple H grabs the edge of the guard rail and uses it to get back to his feet. Brock gives him more assistance pulling him completely back to his feet by the hair.

Brock Lesnar sets him up and then brings him back to the ringside area with a hard suplex. Triple H lands hard over his spine. Brock notices that the count out of the referee is about to reach eight and knowing that he cannot win the championship via count out, he quickly rolls back to the inside of the ring, and despite the referee tells him to keep it inside the ring, Brock rolls back to the outside. Brock picks Triple H and guides him back to his feet, then, he sets the champion over his right shoulder and storms toward the ring ropes, finally driving The Game shoulder first against the ring post. Brock grabs The Game before he falls down to the canvas and throws him back to the inside of the ring. Brock slides to the interior as well and there he makes the cover: 1…2…, Triple H kicks out again. The close pinfalls seem to start getting to Brock Lesnar, as his face show a shadow of frustration. Brock however gets back to his feet and he starts bringing The Game up with him, however Triple H, in a clear veteran like maneuver, hits a series of fast clubs to the left leg of Brock Lesnar, forcing him to let him go. Triple H shakes off the cobwebs, crawls away and then gets back to his feet. The Game grabs the hurt Lesnar and throws him toward the ring ropes. Triple H dashes behind him and as soon as Brock Lesnar bounces back, Triple H receives him with his high knee strike right to the jaw, knocking him down to the canvas. Triple H gets his hair out of his face and walks toward the corner. Triple H lays against it and after a couple of seconds in which he takes deep breaths gathering all the energies he can, The Game dashes toward the floored Brock Lesnar and channeling Harley Race he connects a huge knee drop to the forehead of Brock Lesnar. Triple H gets back to his feet and he gets in an awaiting position, where he, well awaits Brock Lesnar to get back to his feet. Triple H has his hands held up high in expectation, clearly going for the Pedigree, knowing that if Brock Lesnar keeps attacking his ribs he won’t last much longer in this match. Lesnar slowly starts putting his left knee over the canvas trying to get up, however Lesnar’s leg gives up on him collapsing and bringing Lesnar back down to the canvas. Triple H can’t wait anymore and he walks toward him. Triple H sets the head of the Next Big Thing between his thighs, and then hooks both arms of Brock Lesnar, setting him for the Pedigree. However, before Triple H can connect it, Brock Lesnar dugs under countering with arm twist. Brock then wraps both his arms around the humanity of Triple H and connecs him with a side belly to belly suplex. Lesnar is still in a lot of pain though and he immediately takes his hands to the left leg. Lesnar however takes in t pain and slowly starts getting back to his feet. Brock walks toward Triple H and picks him up grabbing him by the head, only to then snapmare him back down to the canvas. There, Brock wraps his arms around Triple H, refocusing his attack over him exploiting his amateur wrestling knowledge.

Triple H’s face is completely red and he is already coughing, having a hard time breathing, however, he shows his own resilience as he starts getting back to his feet. The Game slowly recovers his standing position, however he still has Brock Lesnar behind him, with his huge arms wrapped around him. Triple H starts fighting back connecting a series of elbow strikes right to the jaw of Brock, until he finally releases him. Both men storm toward one another. Brock Lesnar reacts first and he tries to hoist Triple H over his head with either a back body drop over or an over the head Belly to Belly suplex, we never get to know as Triple H counters, well, not exactly counters, but more as Brock Lesnar not being able to hoist The Game up as his leg gives on him again. Triple H lands behind Brock Lesnar, and manages to turn the situation in his favor with a chop block. Triple H gets back to his feet and he drags Brock Lesnar back to the middle of the ring, where this time he indeed manages to lock him in the Figure Four Leglock. The crowd answers with Woos, but soon they turn back into Brock Lesnar’s favor, cheering him into getting out of this predicament. Brock Lesnar screams in pain, suffering a big amount of pain on his already hurt left leg and feeling how his right leg gets hurt as well. Brock tries to fight out and break the maneuver with his own hands, however he loses most of his strengths and collapses down to the canvas. The referee makes the count: 1…2…, Brock gets up, only to continue suffering in the Figure Four Leg Lock. Brock again tries to break the hold with his own hands, only to then again get exhausted and end flat on his back: 1…2…, Brock kicks out getting back in the painful predicament. Finally, Brock Lesnar changes strategy, and instead of trying to break the maneuver, know he tries to shift his weight, ending over his belly turning the leverage into his favor. Triple H tries to block this attempts, however Brock is determined in doing so and using all his power he finally does so, ending over his stomach and making Triple H be the one in pain. Quickly, Triple H breaks the hold ending his own pain. However, it is Brock Lesnar who is in more pain, and he doesn’t get back to his feet. Instead, he remains on the canvas grabbing his left leg with a pain grin painted on his face. Triple H slowly gets back to his feet and he, like a merciless shark, grabs the left leg of his opponent and drags him toward the ring ropes. Triple H puts the foot of Lesnar over the bottom rope, then grabbing the top rope Triple H pulls himself up, finally then landing all his weight on top of the leg of Lesnar making him scream in pain. Triple H doesn’t release the top rope and again he pulls himself up and again lands right in top of the boot of Brock Lesnar. Triple H grins knowing he is punishing big time the leg of his challenger.

Triple H screams at the crowd taunting the audience before repeating the punishment. The Game grabs the top rope again and pulls himself up, however, Brock Lesnar gets back to his senses and as Triple H hoists himself up Brock Lesnar kicks him in the behind propelling him upwards and sending Triple H over the top rope. Triple H ends up on the apron and being in a better condition than Brock Lesnar he gets faster back to a standing position. Triple H stares at Brock and then he walks to the corner and from the apron he uncharacteristically climbs to the top rope. The crowd gets involved and they heavily cheer for Brock Lesnar. The Next Big Thing finally gets back to his feet, although turning his back on the champion. Lesnar turns around and Triple H tries something new in his moveset as he flies through the airs right into Brock. However, Lesnar shows why Triple H doesn’t go to the top rope very often as he catches him in mid air getting him right over his shoulders in a sitting position. Lesnar turns to the middle of the ring and there he Powerbombs Triple H. However, Brock doesn’t release Triple H and instead, he picks him right back to his feet going for a second consecutive Powerbomb. However, the legs of Lesnar start crumbling. Brock tries to Powerbomb him anyways, however he just can’t with his hurt base and Triple H manages to jump out of the maneuver landing behind Brock Lesnar. Triple H turns around and he quickly grabs the legs of Lesnar, pulling him and knocking him down to the canvas. The Game flips Brock Lesnar over his back, not releasing the legs of Lesnar, and then, he locks in another leg punishing submission maneuver as he gets Brock Lesnar in his version of an Indian Deathlock.

[Seventh Reason]

I can only imagine the lack of review/analysis of this PPV is due to the enormity of the thing! IE. I'll assume the timelength of the main event was 2 hours?

"Brock walks toward Triple H and grabbing him by the hair he slowly pulls The Game back to his feet. However, as soon as Triple H recovers his standing position he snaps back to his feet and grabbing Brock Lesnar by the back of his head he drives Lesnar face first right into his knee connecting his facebreaker knee smash."

5-10 seconds of wrestling and 40-50 words = too much elaborate description. By the time we've imagined what's going on, it gets blurry again.

I'll try to review, as there's so much effort gone into this PPV which should not go to waste!
