Jim Ross: “Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the renewed Monday Night Anarchy! The flagship show of the Sadistic Wrestling Alliance and the beacon of Sports Entertainment has returned!â€
Jerry Lawler: “That’s right! After a hiatus, we are finally back on the air and ready to once again change the world of professional wrestling! The SWA is alive and well again and I think it is about time!â€
Jim Ross: “We have a lot of things planned here tonight folks. We are going to hear from the World Heavyweight Champion Shawn Michaels! We will get his thoughts for the first time since the end of the SWA the first time.â€
Jerry Lawler: “Don’t forget J.R. we are going to see the triumphant return of the Cutting Edge with the undefeated Intercontinental Champion Edge and I cannot wait to see what he has to say. One thing is for sure it is going to be Rated R!â€
Jim Ross: “I cannot agree more King and…â€
(J.R. is cut off as Shawn Michaels music hits and he appears on stage with a suit on and the SWA World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder. Michaels walks down the ramp slowly and walks up the steel steps and enters the ring through the middle and top ropes. Michaels walks across the ring and grabs a microphone and walks back to the middle of the ring as Michaels is met with chants of “HBK HBK†)
Shawn Michaels: “Now I know a lot of you saw the Pay-Per-View Crossroads in which some of the best in this company against some superstars from HEW. We won some and we lost some. Most notably I lost my match up against the HEW Champion….Now I know I have all of the support from the boys in the back and from you the fans. But most recently I have been having some thoughts….â€
(“Bow Down to the Kings†fills the arena as Triple H walks onto the stage in a suit holding a microphone and looking down the ramp at Shawn.)
Triple H: “What are you doing Shawn? Are you out here to beg for forgiveness for failing your fans? Are you out here to try and gain that sympathy that has fueled your career since I dropped your ass all those years ago? Or are you out here to tell us all that you have “lost you smileâ€. What pathetic excuse do you have for us this time!?â€
Shawn Michaels: “I am not out here to make any excuses for anything. The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels comes out and gives it his all you hear me! Now Hunter this has nothing to do with you so why don’t you…â€
Triple H: “No Shawn this does involve me! You expect me to stand idly by in the back knowing that our company has a Champion who will cry the second he gets beat! This company deserves a worthy and worthwhile Champion! Someone who won his match at Crossroads and led Team SWA to a victory restoring our legacy unlike someone who got beat by some little punk.â€
Shaw Michaels: “Oh and who is that Hunter, you? You think you can fill my shoes as Champion?â€
Triple H: “Your god damn right it’s me! I know how to carry that strap like a man rather than some whimpering pathetic alter boy who can’t stand the fact that his legacy has a blemish! When the fact of the matter is… It is about to get a lot more tarnished!â€
(Triple H drops the microphone and begins to walk down the ramp and he takes off his suit jacket and loosens his tie. Shawn Michaels drops the title down to the mat and takes off his suit jacket and signal for HHH to come on. Triple H gets to the ring apron when a voice rings out through the arena yelling “Hold it!†and General Manager Andrew Walker appears on the stage.)
Andrew Walker: “Everyone stop where you are! This is our big comeback and I will not be having all hell break loose tonight. Now, I know the history between you two and I know this is going to be inevitable so how about this. At Hallowfest it will be Triple H against Shawn Michaels for the World Heavyweight Championship! On the condition that between now and Hallowfest, you two cannot lay a hand on each other unless it is in a sanctioned match inside that ring! But, if that rule is broken, Triple H if you strike Shawn Michaels you will lose your title shot against Shawn Michaels and you might as well look forward to your next title shot in about 2-3 years. And Shawn if you hit Triple H before any sanctioned match you will be stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship!"
(Triple H slides into the ring and grabs the World Heavyweight Championship off the ground and looks at it and puts it around his waist. Shawn Michaels is seething and his right hand pulls back and he restrains himself. Triple H smirks as he looks down at the title and than holds it out towards Shawn. Shawn grabs the title and tries to pull it away but Triple H holds onto it and both men stare each other down in the middle of the ring as both of them clutch onto the title.)
(Cuts to commercial break)
Jim Ross: “Well ladies and gentlemen we are only one show back and we already have had a blockbuster announcement regarding the World Heavyweight Championship. Shawn Michaels and Triple H one on one at Hallowfest.â€
Jerry Lawler: “I cannot believe it. This will be the first time since the Elimination Chamber match of last year that these two will go face to face for the World Heavyweight Championship. This is already got me excited and we have barely gotten started here JR!â€

Now everyone please get off your asses and give a huge round of applause to my guest……ME!â€

Edge: “You know in my tenure here in the Sadistic Wrestling Alliance… I have done some amazing and brilliant things. I beat John Cena to become the very first Intercontinental Champion on Anarchy. I made the Icon, the Living Legend, the Nature Boy Ric Flair get on his knees and say I Quit! I have kept this Intercontinental title ever since I won it. I will go down as the very best champion in all of SWA history. But something occurred to me when I was at Crossroads….I heard you people…calling other people the greatest Canadian Champion in history. Not only that but the idiots in the back put me, The Rated R Superstar, The greatest Champion in SWA History in the middle of the card! I should have been headlining Crossroads not some washed up has been! I am out here tonight to say I am sick of it! I will not go through my career being happy with mediocrity! I refuse to be stuck in the middle of this roster with this piece of crap weighing me down and robbing me of my rightful spot in the main event! So as far as I’m concerned, Walker, you can take this title and stick it!â€

-Cuts to commercial-
Jim Ross: “Welcome back ladies and gentlemen and I must apologize for the truly heinous and unsportsmanlike conduct we experienced moments ago from I guess the now former Intercontinental Champion.â€
Jerry Lawler: “What are you talking about? I think Edge is justified! He wants to be the World Champ! How can he do that when he is being held back by that title?â€
Jim Ross: “I think that is no excuse. Edge should be down right ashamed of himself. But ladies and gentlemen I am getting word from the back right now and let us take you to the back for a word from the Anarchy General Manager Andrew Walker.â€
G.M. Walker: “Well first of all I would like to thank you all for tuning into the highest rated wrestling broadcast in syndication. I wish I could sit here and speak about how we are going to continue to revolutionize the industry but this is business. Due to the actions of Edge earlier tonight and vacating and disgracing the Intercontinental Championship, I have decided that starting next week, we will have a tournament that will conclude at Hallowfest and in the end, the winner shall be announced the new SWA Intercontinental Champion. Now in regards to Edge himself saying he is being held back and how he deserves to be in the main event. Well he’s got it. Edge, I hope your listening because ready or not, tonight you will in fact be in the main event match against someone who, I’m sure, needs to blow off some steam. So Edge, better get ready and start stretching because your match isn’t too far off. Oh and on a final note Edge…..break a legâ€
Jim Ross: “What huge news from G.M. Walker! An Intercontinental Championship tournament that I guess is starting right now!â€
