The all new Riots video package plays with an all new theme in the background, “I Predict a Riot” by British band, the Kaiser Chiefs. We see all the top Riots superstars including the latest Riots acquisition, The Rock, the SWA Champion, Christian Cage and the No.1 Contender, Randy Orton. As the video comes to a close, we cut to the arena as the pyro goes off, with the chorus of I Predict a Riot beaming in the background. The pyro finally comes to a close and we head over to Mark Cellers and Jake Reed.
Mark Cellers: Hello everybody and welcome to Friday Night Riots. We have returned to our two hour format with a huge show lined up for all you Riots fans. In the main event, the SWA Championship is on the line. The champion Christian Cage faces the challenger, Randy Orton.
Jake Reed: What a match that will indeed be, but to kick things off, the newest Riots superstar, The Great One, The Rock, announces why he has returned to wrestling.
IF YOOOUUU SMMMEELLLLLLAAA! This Riots crowd go absolutely crazy as The Great One appears at the top of the ramp. He chuckles and raises his right arm. He performs the People’s Eyebrow and then makes his way down the ramp. He signals he will soon be champion and then climbs up into the ring.
Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the newest Riots acquisition, he is The Great One, THE ROCK!
The Rock laughs and then grabs a microphone from Roberts. He takes a few seconds, allowing the crowd to cheer some more, before Rocky starts to speak.
The Rock: FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO WRESTLING!
The crowd go mental at this statement as Rock smiles, looking at someone in the crowd. He gets back to speaking.
The Rock: Tonight, The Rock has a very special homecoming because finally, The Rock returns to wrestling. You know The Rock's been gone from wrestling for three years. No sign of The Rock for three years. Finally that changes. Tonight, here on Riots, The Rock has returned!
The crowd pop. The Rock seems to be shaking. He hasn’t cut an in-ring promo in years and it is clearly quite tough for him. He shrugs it off though, and gets back on it.
The Rock: Now The Rock has been getting asked alot of questions over the past couple of weeks. Why return to wrestling? Why SWA? Why Riots? Well wrestling is The Rock's life. Sure making movies is fun but wrestling is where it's at. SWA is the top wrestling company in America and The Rock is a top superstar, where else to go? And of course, Riots is one of the top up and coming TV shows in recent memory, why the hell would The Rock turn down the offer?
The crowd go mad with a huge "Rocky" chant which causes The Rock to stop for a minute and allow the crowd to chant. The Rock looks close to tears, now remembering why he loved wrestling oh so much.
The Rock: Now two weeks ago, The Rock returned as the champ’s partner but The Rock’ll make one thing clear. The Rock isn’t Christian Cage’s friend. The Rock wants the SWA Championship. The Rock will soon be the champion, it’s quite simple, really.
The crowd pop. Rocky smiles and then gets back to talking.
The Rock: After tonight’s big SWA Championship match there'll be a need for a No.1 Contender. That's where The Rock comes in. How about it, McMichaels. The Great One, The Rock returns to wrestling with a shot at the SWA Championship. Ooooh The Rock can see the headlines right now
The Rock waits, expecting Adam McMichaels any second.
The Rock: The Rock is growing impatient. ADAM MCMICHAELS! GET THE HELL OUT HERE!
Instead of seeing Adam McMichaels at the top of the ramp though, Mr. Kennedy appears as Turn Up The Trouble plays. The crowd boo as Kennedy calls for a microphone
Mr Kennedy: Woah, old timer. I’m afraid to inform you that you will not be getting a title shot at WrestleSlam. No, you see, you will not be in with a shout. Because I have a challenge to make for you at WrestleSlam. You see, you can’t just join this company and suddenly be in with a shout for the SWA Championship. I challenge you, Oh Great One, to a match at WrestleSlam!
The Rock: You, challenging The Rock? Why bother? The Rock'll whoop your candy ass! WrestleSlam The Rock hears? Know your role and shut your mouth or The Rock'll make you his own PUNK ASS BITCH!
The crowd go crazy as The Rock smiles. Kennedy is red with fury.
The Rock: The Rock vs Mr. Kennedy, at WrestleSlam. The Rock says JUST BRING IT!
Kennedy gets angry and runs down the ramp, ready to attack The Great One. He slides into the ring and engages combat with The Rock. Sadly enough for him though, The Rock easily beats him down and then continues an attack, repeatedly kicking him. He then pulls Kennedy to his feet and gets him in position for the Rock Bottom but Kennedy quickly breaks away and then slides out of the ring and jumps the barricade, into the ring, looking on as Rocky stares at him at performs the People's Elbow. Kennedy nearly falls over his own feet, trembling looking scared.
Mark Cellers: What have we witnessed here tonight? It looks like Riots has its first match confirmed for the biggest show of the year!
Jake Reed: The Rock vs Mr. Kennedy, I love the sound of that!
Mark Cellers: My God it’ll be off the charts! The Rock is back! However, we can now confirm that up next, The World’s Greatest Tag Team challenge the SWA Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz in a non-title match!
-Commercial Break-
As we return, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas are making their way to the ring, the fans give a huge pop for Angle’s boys as they jump up onto the apron and climb into the ring. They get in and await their opponents.
Suddenly the Dudleyz’s music hits and the champions appear at the top of the ramp. The crowd boo as the former ECW stars make their way towards the ring. They raise their championships as Justin Roberts introduces them.
Justin Roberts: And their opponents, the SWA Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz!
Bubba Ray and D-Von hop onto the apron and get into the ring, squaring up at Benjamin and Haas. The referee calls for the bell and the contest is underway.
Non-Title: The World’s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas) vs The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von)
Shelton Benjamin and D-Von kick off the match. They go for the collar-elbow tie up but it is quickly broken up as D-Von fires Shelton down to the mat. The big man starts to beat down on his opponent, with repeated kicks to the face, which causes huge boos to be called from the crowd. D-Von laughs and eventually pulls Benjamin to his feet. He throws a couple of right hands followed by some lefts. He then hits a nice DDT, taking Shelton down to the mat. He quickly runs over to his partner and tags him in. They both head over to Shelton, which causes Haas to enter the ring and and attack D-Von. He takes D-Von out and tosses him over the ropes. He clotheslines him off the apron, flipping himself over aswell as those two go to battle on the outside. The camera continues to focus on what’s happening in the ring though.
Bubba pulls Shelton to his feet and hits a nice headbutt, taking Benjamin down to the mat. Bubba Ray pulls him to his feet though and then twists him round. He hits a neat German Suplex first and then lets go, obviously unable to repeat the likes of Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle by hitting a series of suplexes. Bubba slowly pulls himself to his feet and looks over at his brother. He is decked out on the outside with no sign of Charlie Haas. Bubba turns around, only to receive a kick square in the face from Charlie Haas. Haas quickly helps Benjamin to his feet while receiving a huge pop and slides back out of the ring. Shelton kicks Bubba and pulls him up. He runs at the opposite ropes, and as he comes back he hits a sweet dropkick. Shelton rolls over Bubba quickly but only gets the two count.
Shelton sighs and pulls himself to his feet. He tries to get Bubba Ray up but the tag team champion grabs Shelton and performs a nice hip-toss sending Benjamin down to the mat. Bubba slides out of the ring and helps his partner to his feet. He gets him up onto the apron and talks to him for a while, to make sure he is ok. He then slides back into the ring, but Shelton is back on his feet and stamps on Bubba Ray’s hands. He then grabs him and tosses him into the turnbuckle. Shelton runs to the opposite end and then runs at him, flips and then dives at him, sending him back first right into the turnbuckle. He jumps, back to the mat, sending both feet square into the jaw of Bubba Ray Dudley. He then flips the big guy over his head back down to the mat. Shelton then jumps to his feet and tags in his partner, Charlie Haas. Haas quickly runs at Bubba and starts to stomp at him. He pulls him to his feet and sends him into the ropes. As Bubba comes back, Charlie jumps and hits a sweet DDT.
Charlie is determined to finish the match soon. He gets down to the mat and locks in the Haas of Pain. Bubba Ray tries to hold on but he can’t take it anymore and is forced to tap out. Haas holds it on for a little while longer though, trying to inflict even more damage. He eventually lets go and hugs his partner, Shelton Benjamin.
Winners: The World’s Greatest Tag Team
Mark Cellers: What a huge win here tonight for The World’s Greatest Tag Team!
Jake Reed: No doubt, Mark.
Mark Cellers: We’ll be right back!
-Commercial Break-
As we return to Riots, we see Adam McMichaels in his office. Randy Orton is with him and they are discussing tonight’s match.
Adam McMichaels: Randy, you know exactly what I’m expecting from you tonight. We stick with our plan then there will be no doubt that you will be walking out of WrestleSlam as the new SWA Champion!
There is slight confusion from the crowd.
Randy Orton: Thank you sir, it is an honour.
Orton nods and turns to leave but suddenly the door opens and Rob Van Dam barges into the room.
Rob Van Dam: Mr. McMichaels, I have a proposal. At WrestleSlam, the rematch, Rob Van Dam vs Rhino for the Hardcore Championship, well if he still has it by then.
Adam McMichaels: Why the hell would I do what you ask? I need to think about the fans, why would the fans want to see you face Rhino for the Hardcore Championship? Well I’ll give you the chance to make it happen anyway. As of now 24/7 rules for the Hardcore Title are closed until after WrestleSlam. Tonight, Rob Van Dam vs CM Punk, the winner gets No.1 Contendership to the SWA Hardcore Championship!
Rob Van Dam: Thank you sir!
Adam McMichaels: Now get the hell outta here before I change my mind!
RVD smiles and goes to leave. Randy Orton quickly grabs a steel chair and smacks it over the back of Rob Van Dam. RVD falls to the floor and Orton tosses the chair to the side. Orton and McMichaels laugh as we cut back to the arena.
Mark Cellers: What an announcement, RVD vs CM Punk, winner faces Rhino for the Hardcore Title at WrestleSlam!
Jake Reed: I’ll be surprised if RVD is able to compete tonight though after that sickening blow to the back from Randy Orton!
Mark Cellers: I know, Jake. What about this plan our GM and Orton have? Orton to walk out of WrestleSlam as new champion? You’d expect Orton to be aiming for a win in tonight’s huge main event
Jake Reed: I don’t know what they’re thinking.
Mark Cellers: Well moving on anyway, coming up in a matter of moments, Carlito battles Y2J, Chris Jericho!
Jake Reed: Sounds like a great match!
-Commercial Break-
As we return, Chris Jericho is completing his entrance and is making his way to the ring. Carlito is already in the ring. Jericho climbs up onto the apron and gets into the ring. He stares at Carlito, looking extremely angry. He slaps himself a couple of times, trying to get geared up for the match. The crowd continue to pop.
Chris Jericho vs Carlito
Jericho and Carlito lock up. Carlito tries to get the upper hand, and almost does, but Jericho reverses it and flips Carlito down back first onto the mat. Jericho bounces on the ropes and then tries to flip up onto the ropes but Carlito manages to jump to his feet and dive at Y2J swiping him down to the outside. Carlito flips over onto the outside aswell. Huge “Holy Shit” chants can be heard as both men lay on the outside. Carlito slowly climbs to his feet. He taunts the crowd, which causes huge boos to be headed in his direction. Carlito turns around and grabs Y2J. He tosses him into the steel steps and then quickly grabs him and sends him straight into the ring post, receiving more boos. Again, Carlito just taunts them. He then rolls Jericho into the ring.
Carlito follows his opponent, sliding into the ring after him. He goes to climb up onto the turnbuckle and almost reaches the top but Y2J quickly jumps to his feet and performs a sweet dropkick, which flips Carlito backwards, meaning he is only still in the ring in a way because his back is on the ring post. Jericho quickly runs to the opposite side. He runs straight at Carlito, jumps onto the turnbuckle and flips over, sensationally legdropping his opponent. The fans can’t believe it as they are on their feet. Jericho lets himself roll over so to fall back onto his feet in the ring. Jericho then pulls Carlito back onto his feet and then immediately clotheslines him to the floor. He starts to laugh, getting all geared up and ready. He pulls Carlito to his feet, bounces off the ropes and hits a sweet enziguiri. He quickly goes for the first pin of the match but only gets a two count, much to his disappointment. The Ayatollah of Rock N Rollah doesn’t get too down though and gets to his feet, obviously extremely determined to get back into form in the SWA, due to the fact he hasn’t been doing much in recent months.
Jericho awaits Carlito and tries to get behind him when he gets up. Carlito finally finds his feet, but Chris slaps him on the back of the head and then hits a one handed bulldog. He goes for another pin but again only gets the two count. Jericho doesn’t seem too surprised, but he plays possum, acting as though he has severely damaged his head, the referee runs over to check him out as Carlito quickly spots an opportunity and goes for a pin. He tries to use the tights to perform a rollup but Jericho reverses it into a roll up of his own and almost gets the victory but Carlito manages to break free at the very last second. Jericho jumps to his feet and prepares himself. He signals for one of his finishers, as Carlito slowly climbs to his feet is obvious which one Jericho is thinking as he hits the CODEBREAKER! The crowd pop as Jericho salutes the crowd and then goes for the pin. Without much surprise, Jericho manages the three count, much to the delight of this crowd.
Winner: Chris Jericho
Mark Cellers: Chris Jericho does it! He defeats Carlito!
Jake Reed: What a night for Chris Jericho. We haven’t been seeing much of Jericho in recent weeks but it looks certain that Jericho is on his way to the top.
Mark Cellers: No doubt about it, Jake. Now moving on swiftly, as you should all know, in just sixteen days, SWA invites you to join us at the biggest event of the year, WrestleSlam. It only happens once a year and there will be so many big matches. I can report that the Riots main event will be announced by Adam McMichaels shortly after tonight’s main event between Randy Orton and Christian Cage for the SWA Championship.
Jake Reed: We already have two matches confirmed for the Riots side of the show, Legend vs Rookie, The Rock vs Mr. Kennedy. And the Hardcore Championship is on the line when Rhino defends against either Rob Van Dam or CM Punk.
Mark Cellers: And up next we will find out whether it will be Rob Van Dam or CM Punk battling for the Hardcore Championship when the two go head to head for No.1 Contendership!
-Commercial Break-
As we return, CM Punk is talking with Randy Orton. He seems to be concluding his conversation when America’s Most Wanted walk by.
James Storm: Alright, boys?
CM Punk: What in the hell are you doing with that bottle of beer? Here, let me see it.
The clueless James Storm hands over the bottle and Punk smashes it to the ground, he rubs his foot in it afterwards and then stares at Storm.
CM Punk: Drinking is unacceptable while in the presence of a Straight Edge superstar like me, hell drinking is unacceptable. PERIOD!
CM Punk storms off, looking extremely angry at Storm. The camera cuts back to Storm. He chuckles as Chris Harris hands him another bottle of beer.
We return to see both Mark Cellers and Jake Reed laughing.
Mark Cellers: Well folks, James Storm and CM Punk sure as hell don’t go together, that’s for sure.
Jake Reed: You can say that again!
One of a Kind hits as The Whole Damn Show appears at the top of the ramp. He does his usual salute to the crowd and then makes his way down the ramp as Justin Roberts welcomes him.
Justin Roberts: Introducing first, from Battle Creek, Michigan, ROB VAN DAM!
The crowd pop as RVD climbs up onto the apron and gets into the ring. He climbs the turnbuckle and salutes the crowd again. He then gets ready for his match as his opponent’s music begins to play. CM Punk then appears at the top of the ramp. He walks down the ramp.
Justin Roberts: Ladies and gentlemen, The Straight Edge Superstar, CM Punk
Punk climbs up onto the apron and gets into the ring. He stares at RVD. They start to move closer, preparing for battle.
Winner Gets A Hardcore Title Shot At WrestleSlam: Rob Van Dam vs CM Punk
Both men engage in a collor-elbow tie up trying to get the better hand. Punk sneaks a low blow in an attempt to gain the upperhand. He succeeds and floors RVD. Punk bounces off the ropes and then drives an elbow into the back of RVD. Punk then climbs back to his feet and grabs the head of RVD, applying a submission of sorts. He pulls back hard, trying to apply lots of pressure on RVD. He seems to succeed as cries of pain can be heard from RVD. Punk eventually grows tired of holding the move in place and climbs to his feet. He attacks RVD, looking very determined. He drills a stiff kick into the sternum of the ECW Original and then performs a nice hip toss taking RVD down to the floor. He climbs the turnbuckle and mimicks RVD. He chuckles and then goes for the FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! But there is no chance RVD is allowing Punk to use his own move against him as RVD dives out of the ring and Punk lands flat on his face.
RVD gets back into the ring and attacks Punk. He gets a couple of knees into the face and then decides to pull Punk to his feet and sends him into the ropes. He bounces the other way and then runs straight at Punk, he goes for some sort of diving move but Punk ducks and keeps running, he bounces off the ropes and goes for some sort of move of his own, but this time RVD jumps, causing Punk to run underneath RVD. RVD then grabs Punk’s head in mid air and brings it sraight down to the mat with great athletisism. The crowd pop as RVD drops his arm over Punk. 1...2...NO! The crowd are in disbelief along with RVD as Punk kicks out at the very last second. Punk climbs to his feet and continues though. He climbs to his feet and bounces off the ropes, he goes for some ROLLING THUNDER and hits it with precision, the crowd pop as RVD then climbs up the turnbuckle. At first the fans are under the assumption that is time for a Five Star Frog Splash but instead RVD goes for a moonsault and hits it nicely, getting the crowd on their feet.
RVD pulls both legs of Punk over, going for a pin. However, CM Punk finds the power to kick out, surprisingly. RVD climbs to his feet once again and pulls Punk up with him. He kicks him and takes Punk back down to the mat with a nice DDT. RVD then gets to his feet and gets onto the second rope of the turnbuckle and hits an absolutely beautiful corkscrew legdrop. RVD is pumped now, going absolutely mental, getting the crowd on their feet. He then signals he will be the Hardcore Champion at WrestleSlam and climbs the turnbuckle, going for his finishing manouever. He acknowledges the crowd again and then hits the FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! The crowd go well and truly mental as RVD executes the move perfectly. Their hopes are dashed soon after though as CM Punk somehow manages to kick out. You’d think this match would be well and truly over by now. RVD is totally dominating, sadly though, it is not.
RVD once again climbs to his feet but he is the one quickly falling down this time as Punk pulls him down from behind with a roll up, but Punk is caught using the ropes for leverage. Punk grabs RVD and tosses him over to the other side of the apron and then grabs his head. He lifts him up for a suplex and bounces him off the ropes before using pure strength to send him stomach first back down onto the mat, huge “Ooohs” and “Aaahhhs” can be heard in the arena as the stomach of RVD goes red from the power of the drop. Punk laughs and slaps RVD in the face and then gets him onto his feet. He then goes for the Devil Lock DDT and hits it with precision. The fans boo as Punk taunts him, forming the Straight Edge sign. Punk then looks back at RVD and turns back to a set of fans and points to the tattoo on his stomach which states “Straight Edge” He finally decides to get back on with some action and turns back to RVD. He pulls him up cockily which causes RVD to reverse it into an irish whip into the corner but Punk then reverses that with a sweet corkscrew flipping neckbreaker. Punk then goes for the pin but The Whole Damn Show kicks out at two.
Punk slaps the mat hard, shouting angrily, obviously wanting to finish this. Punk climbs to his feet and throws a couple of rights to RVD who is just starting to get to his feet. Punk hits another variation of a DDT, which causes the fans to chant and boo loudly. Punk gives them dirty looks and then looks back at RVD. He goes for a pin but only gets a two count again. Punk reveals his frustrations, again crying to the heavens. This gives RVD a chance to attack but Punk is on watch and then irish whips him into the corner. Punk follows him and climbs up onto the turnbuckle. He pulls RVD up with him and signals to the crowd. He then sets up the Pepsi Plunge. The crowd boo absolutely madly as Punk hits his finisher, the Pepsi Plunge with precision. Punk laughs, knowing it is all over. He taunts the crowd, which even causes cans of juice to be thrown at Punk. Punk shakes it off and then finally goes for the pin. He easily gets the pin, much to the disappointment of the fans.
Winner: CM Punk
Mark Cellers: Punk is going to WrestleSlam thanks to a beautiful Pepsi Plunge
Jake Reed: I’m not a big fan of CM Punk but I can’t help absolutely loving that move, it is pure genius.
Mark Cellers: That’s for sure. It is now offical of course, in 16 days CM Punk will challenge Rhino for the Hardcore Championship. Remember, earlier tonight Adam McMichaels announced that the 24/7 rule attached with the title would be suspended until after WrestleSlam which means it will definitely by Rhino vs CM Punk!
The camera zooms in on Rob Van Dam, who looks to be crying. He put in so much to this match and really deserves to go to WrestleSlam to battle for the Hardcore Championship but CM Punk beat him to it. The camera flicks over to CM Punk who is being congratulated by America’s Most Wanted at the top of the ramp. Punk grabs the beer bottle from James Storm and stares at him angrily. He tosses it to the side and then turns away heading backstage.
Mark Cellers: Still to come here tonight, we have the big main event, the SWA Championship is on the line, Randy Orton challenges the champion, Christian Cage!
Jake Reed: It’s going to be a classic!
-Commercial Break-
As we return, Christian Cage is standing with Todd Grisham.
Todd Grisham: Ladies and gentlemen welcome back to Friday Night Riots’ return to two hours. I am Todd Grisham and I am joined at this time by the SWA Champion, the man who in a few moments will go head to head with Randy Orton with the title. So Christian, with WrestleSlam just sixteen days away, what do you think the GM was thinking when he announced this match?
Christian Cage: I think that Mr. McMichaels is desperate to have some gold within his little “group” Honestly, I think he made a mistake in bringing in Randy Orton to be his top guy. I mean what the hell is he thinking? You’ve got the Instant Classic on one side and then you’ve got the guy who gets killed by legends?
Todd Grisham: So you are saying that you would have aligned yourself with Adam McMichaels if given the chance?
Christian Cage: Hell no! I’m Christian Cage, I’m the Instant Classic, I’m Captain Charisma. I don’t need to be the General Manager’s friend to have some gold around my waist, just lookie here!
Christian points to the SWA gold and laughs.
Christian Cage: Randy Orton can come full throttle at me, he can bring all he has at me. It won’t make a difference. I have this belt for a reason and tonight I shall prove that.
Todd Grisham: And surely you must have heard about this “plan” we overheard the GM and Orton talking about, in which Mr. McMichaels stated that Orton would walk out of WrestleSlam as new champion?
Christian Cage: I guess McMichaels already knows his boy has no chance against me, the Instant Classic, here tonight and he’s gonna get his hopes all up for WrestleSlam, shove Orton against me again only for him to lose once again! McMichaels needs to understand that I am the top dog in this company, it will take much better men that Randy Orton to take me down.
Todd Grisham: You certainly seem confident, Christian.
Christian Cage: Why shouldn’t I feel confident, Todd? I haven’t got this gold for nothing my friend.
Todd Grisham: I guess so. Thanks for your time Christian and good luck with your match tonight!
The cameras quickly cut to another section of the backstage area where Kurt Angle is walking through the corridor, obviously ready to take his leave as he bids farewell to his crew. He makes it out to the car park when he is suddenly attacked by Teddy Hart and Harry Smith. The crowd can be heard booing loudly in the background as two crowbars are driven straight into the back of Kurt Angle. Kurt falls onto the side of his car. The New Hart Foundation laugh as Bret Hart emerges from the darkness. He jumps and sends Kurt face first through his car window. The boos are truly deafening now as the intruders laugh. They look at Kurt as Bret walks over to him and spits on his face he laughs again as the three strut off.
Mark Cellers: MY GOD! SICKENING ATTACK ON ANGLE! This is disgusting!
Jake Reed: This is unacceptable, these two need to settle their differences soon before something serious happens.
Mark Cellers: I know Jake, this has gone too far. What the hell has Kurt Angle done to deserve this?
-Commercial Break-
Mark Cellers: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome back to Friday Night Riots. It’s been a truly amazing start to a new era in Riots and we will close it with what promises to be a truly amazing main event. SWA Championship. Christian Cage defends against the Legend Killer, Randy Orton.
Jake Reed: It’s going to be absolutely superb!
Burn in My Light hits and Randy Orton appears at the top of the ramp. He is joined by the General Manager, Adam McMichaels much to the anger of the fans as this obviously means there will be something sneaky going on. Randy Orton taunts the crowd as he makes his way down the ramp.
Justin Roberts: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SWA Championship! Introducing first, from St. Louis, Missouri, the challenger, Randy Orton!
Orton appears at the top of the ramp and signals he will soon be champion. He makes his way down the ramp and then jumps onto the apron and climbs into the ring. He taunts the crowd again as Adam McMichaels makes his way to the commentary table, obviously going to be joining Mark and Jake on commentary for the match. The music slowly comes to a close and the countdown begins.
The champion finally emerges at the top of the ramp to a tremendous pop. He pulls the SWA Championship off of his waist and raises it high in the air. He looks extremely excited as he puts the title down onto his shoulder. He holds onto his hood and looks from side to side before tossing it down. He then searches for his peeps before heading down the ramp.
Justin Roberts: And his opponent, he is your SWA Champion, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, The Instant Classic, Christian Cage!
Christian chuckles and makes his way into the ring. He stares at Orton. The two finally lock up as the match begins.
SWA Championship: Christian Cage (c) vs Randy Orton
The champion eyes the challenger as the two attack at each other. They grapple for a while, trying to gain the advantage but to no avail, both still at stalemate. They let go and back to their corners. They get set and then go at it again. This time the challenger gets the better hand of the champion, as Orton gets Christian into a hip toss position and flips him over. He takes the first chance to taunt the crowd, and does so. He grabs Christian and tosses him into the turnbuckle. He quickly runs at him at hits a clothesline, sending Christian further back into the turnbuckle. Orton then pushes Christian up onto the first ropes and then uses the leverage to DDT the champion down to the mat. He then goes for a pin, looking to win the SWA Championship at such an early stage but of course Christian kicks out. Orton quickly gets up to his feet and runs up onto the turnbuckle. He eyes his prey and as Cage gets to his feet, Orton jumps and hits a nice dropkick.
Both men are now down on the mat. Orton slowly gets to his feet and winks at McMichaels. He grabs Christian but the champ fights back and drives an elbow into the sternum. He then starts to hit some rights and lefts and then irish whips Randy into the ropes. As Orton comes back Christian goes for a clothesline but Orton ducks and as Christian turns around, Orton hits THE RKO!!!! RKO at such an early stage? Could the championship be won at such an early stage? The answer is no as the current champion gets the kick out at the very last second, which gets the fans on their feet. Orton slams his hands down on the mat angrily, obviously extremely agitated but he goes for a pin again, of course Christian gets the shoulder up. Orton tries a third time but Christian reverses it into a pin of his own. It is now Orton’s turn to get the kick out.
Christian climbs to his feet and starts to kick Orton in the face he then bounces off the ropes and pays tribute to The Immortal One, Hulk Hogan with a hot legdrop. The crowd pop as Christian climbs the turnbuckle and salutes the crowd. He then turns around and hits a FROGSPLASH! The crowd pop as the champ again rolls Randy Orton over for the pin. This time Orton gets his foot on the ropes. The crowd are pleased, wanting to see more of this match as it continues to get better and better. Christian climbs to his feet and awaits Orton. As Orton climbs up, Christian goes for the Unprettier but Orton reveres and delivers a sickening headbutt knocking Christian down to the mat and causing his head to open up with blood. Orton quickly rolls him over for a pin, trying to take advantage. However, Christian manages to get the shoulder up at the very last second. Randy Orton is adamant that the referee had already reached three before Christian got the shoulder up and that he should be the new champion. The referee simply shakes his head and orders Orton to continue the match.
Orton takes out his anger on Christian with some sickening blows to the already severely damaged head of our SWA Champion, Christian Cage. Orton then climbs the turnbuckle and jumps, dropping his elbow square in the jaw of Christian. Orton quickly rolls the champ over again, but Christian once again gets the kick out. The fans pop as Orton looks to be going absolutely crazy. He screams, which causes the whole arena to erupt in laughter. Suddenly Christian goes for a roll up and very nearly steals the match but Orton manages to wriggle out of it. Christian jumps to his feet and pulls Orton up with him. He kicks him and hits a neat little neckbreaker. He then locks in a nice headlock and keeps Orton down on the mat. He keeps it locked in for quite awhile until Orton finds some life and starts to drive his elbow into Christian. Cage thinks smart and lets go and slides out of the ring to regain his composure. He then slides back into the ring and the two men lock up. The champ gets the upper hand and then takes Orton down to the mat. He starts to throw some lefts and rights before slowly getting up to his feet. He stops on the head of Orton and then wipes some blood from his own head and rubs it on Orton, trying to make him look like a total fool, like a tribes person. Christian chuckles but it doesn’t last as Orton pokes him in the eyes and then hits a neckbreaker, taking the SWA Champion down to the mat.
Orton tries now to gain an upper hand but Christian brings Orton down to the mat with a well thought takedown. He quickly jumps to his feet and salutes the crowd once again. He looks pumped and ready. As Orton gets to his feet Christian tries to go for the Unprettier but Adam McMichaels runs into the ring with a steel chair and smacks the champion over the back with it. The crowd boo loudly as Orton sorts himself out and they both start to beat down on Christian. Orton pulls Christian to his feet and holds him in place as McMichaels hits him square in the head with the steel chair. The General Manager then tosses the chair to the side and grabs a microphone.
Adam McMichaels: Ladies and Gentlemen, here tonight you saw what a real champion looks like.
Adam points to Orton and then continues.
Adam McMichaels: Randy Orton tortured Christian Cage here tonight. He should be holding the title right now but I don’t want that, no. I want the crowning of our new champion to be a real proper night in front of a real crowd.
The crowd boo which causes Adam to burst out with laughter. Orton laughs aswell.
Adam McMichaels: In just over two weeks time, the SWA Championship will be on the line. At WrestleSlam, the rematch, Christian Cage defends his title against The Legend Killer, Randy Orton.
The crowd give a mixed reaction.
Adam McMichaels: But this won’t just be any match. These two will go head-to-head in HELL IN A CELL!
The crowd go absolutely crazy as Orton signals he will soon be champion. Despite hating the two men in the ring, they will soon be gifted to a wrestling phenomenon at WrestleSlam.
Adam McMichaels: Thank you and goodnight!
Orton walks over to Christian Cage’s fallen body and spits on it. He then laughs and heads off with Adam as Burn in my Light plays.
Mark Cellers: OH MY GOD! HELL IN A CELL! WRESTLESLAM!
Jake Reed: What a night WrestleSlam will be.
Mark Cellers: Ladies and gentlemen thank you for joining us here tonight on Friday Night Riots. Be sure to join us next week as the Road to WrestleSlam continues. Goodnight.
The screen slowly fades to black as we see Christian, lying hurt, clutching his championship.
End of broadcast.
