The bell rings and Rock immediately goes on the attack. He throws a right hand, which hits Barrett square in the face. The right hand staggers Barrett, allowing Rock to throw another, and then a third. The third one strikes Barrett so hard, that it knocks Barrett onto the ropes, where Rock grabs him by the arm and throws him, sending him bouncing off the opposing ones, and when he comes back at Rock, he lowers his shoulders and takes Barrett down with an impactful Samoan Drop. The move drives all the air out of Barrett’s lungs as Rock goes for the first cover of the match…

Barrett kicks out!
Rock quickly gets off Barrett before laying a few perfectly placed shaky leg stomps in Barrett’s midsection. Rock then lifts Barrett to his feet before wrapping his arms around Barrett’s waist and spinning, taking him back down to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Rock wastes no time going for another cover…

Cole: It looks like The Great One hasn’t missed a beat!
Rock backs off of Barrett as the man from Manchester tries to recuperate. Barrett crawls over to a nearby corner, and picks himself up to his feet. Rock sees this and charges from the opposite corner, looking for a clothesline. Barrett sees Rock coming though and sidesteps him, causing Rock to crash chest first into the turnbuckle. Barrett looks to take advantage. As Rock’s own momentum forces him to stumble out of the corner, Barrett runs off the ropes and hits Rock square in the jaw with a running big boot…
King: What impact! I think I saw some of The People’s Teeth fly across the ring.
Rock hits the mat hard as Barrett connects. Barrett wastes no time going for the cover….

Rock kicks out!
Barrett gets to his feet, before lifting Rock to his. Barrett then wraps both arms around Rock’s waist and brings him down onto his knee with a bone-shattering backbreaker. Instead of dropping Rock to the mat, Barrett holds him in position on his knee. Barrett then grabs Rock’s shoulder and knee, taking full control of Rock’s body, before bending each appendage in opposite directions, applying an almost surf-board like submission hold.
King: I’ve never seen this from Barrett before. He’s really pulling out all the stops.
Rock screams in pain as Barrett has this new submission locked in. The referee asks Rock if he wants to quit, and Rock responds with “Noâ€. Barrett hears this and knowing that The Rock won’t quit, simply dumps his body to the mat. Rock grabs his spine in pain as Barrett looks for another cover….

Rock kicks out!
Barrett gets off the Rock quickly before lifting his opponent to his feet. Barrett again attacks, lifting off Rock the canvas and slamming him back down with a Scoop Slam. As The Rock hits the mat, Barrett bounces off the near ropes and drops an elbow across Rock’s throat. As Rock struggles to breathe, Barrett goes
for another cover…

Rock kicks out!
Cole: Barrett’s showing why he’s the only Triple Crown Winner in UWF history!
Barrett keeps the pace slow and methodical. He uses one move after another, not letting The Rock gain any momentum. Barrett picks Rock off the mat one more time, before bending him over and wrapping his arm between Rock’s legs and picking him off the mat, attempting a Pump Handle Slam…
King: Barrett has done a great job wrestling his match!
As soon as King finishes his sentence, Rock is able to slide down Barrett’s back. Rock’s push Barrett away and towards the ropes. Barrett bounces off and comes back at Rock, who hits him with a vicious clothesline. Barrett hits the mat hard, but gets to his feet, only to have Rock with him with the swinging DDT known as The Smackdown! Barrett hits the mat face first and The Rock’s babyface comeback has begun…
Cole: This is what Barrett wanted to avoid!
Barrett gets to his feet just in time to have The Rock throws right hands into his face. A first right hand, then a second, then a third right hand to the face of The Former World Champion, which has him on the ropes. Then finally, for good measure, Rock cocks back, before spitting on his hand and connecting with Barrett’s jaw, which hits the European so far that he actually leaves his feet!
Cole: Rock is fired up!
Barrett is trying to get away from The Rock. He crawls to the opposite side of the ring, trying to create distance between Rock and himself. Rock refuses to let up though and charges right back at Barrett. The distance has given Barrett enough time to recover though, and as Rock charges in, Barrett catches Rock with a spinning sidewalk slam…
King: Winds of Change!!
As soon as Rock hits the canvas, Barrett reaches back for the far leg and covers him…

Rock rolls a shoulder!
Barrett looks down on The Rock with disdain on his face. He lifts the People’s Champion off the mat, when out of nowhere, The Rock fight back, hitting Barrett with more right hands. The flurry starts again, but Barrett cuts it short with a thumb to the eye. This slows Rock down, and Barrett looks to go back on the offensive with a boot to the gut. But Rock manages to use his good eye to see the boot coming and catch it. Rock is now in firm control of Barrett’s leg, and he rapidly spins, taking Barrett to the mat with a Dragon Screw takedown. But as Rock takes Barrett down, he doesn’t release the leg. Instead, he gets to his feet, still in full control before separating Barrett’s legs and stepping through, twisting the two and stepping over, locking in the Sharpshooter!
King: Sharpshooter!!
Barrett screams in pain as Rock has the vintage submission locked in. Rock begs Barrett to tap, but the European refuses. Barrett looks right at the ropes, knowing that’s his only escape. He starts crawling, looking for anything to help in his mission. Barrett reaches the edge of the ring, and all he has to do is grab the rope, when out of nowhere, Rock pulls him back to the middle of the ring…
Cole: This may be it for Barrett!
Rock applies even more pressure, looking for the submission victory. Barrett continues to fight, and once again drags himself to the ropes, this time reaching it, getting the break. Rock refuses, and the referee begins counting….

Rock breaks the hold reluctantly!
Barrett grabs his spine in pain as Rock gets off him. Rock stares out into the sea of people who are cheering him on before turning his attention back to Barrett. Rock slightly bends down, putting both hands on his knees, waiting for Barrett to pull himself up…
Cole: I’ve seen this look in Rock’s eyes before!
Rock is getting anxious. He’s ready to put Barrett away. Barrett starts getting to his feet, and when he does, Rock jumps right on him. Rock spins Barrett around, ducking under and wrapping his arm across Barrett’s chest…
King: Rock Bottom!
Barrett knows that The Rock Bottom is coming, so he throws elbows to the side of Rock’s head. This doesn’t break Rock’s concentration until Barrett hits him with a perfectly placed one to the temple. This causes Rock to lose focus, releasing Barrett and stumbling backwards. Barrett looks to do back on the offensive, charging at Rock, but as soon as he charges, Rock is able to recover. Rock wraps his arm across Barrett’s chest, lifting the man from Manchester of his feet and slamming him on the mat with a Rock Bottom!
Cole: He hit it!
Rock gets to his feet and quickly jogs to the top of Barrett’s body. He looks down on his fallen foe, before lining his shoulders in place. Rock looks out at the UWF Universe, before reaching for his arm band and throwing it into the front row. Rock does the usual hand motions before first running to the left, bouncing off the ropes and hopping over Barrett before bouncing off the opposite ropes and dropping an elbow onto Barrett’s heart…
King: People’s Elbow!
The fans pop as Rock hits the People’s Elbow. Rock wastes no time covering Barrett, looking for the win…

Roberts: Here is your winner; The Rock!
Rock’s theme music hits and he quickly gets off Barrett. The Rock has made a successful return to professional wrestling. He quickly heads to one of the four turnbuckles and climbs it, throwing his arm in the air as the fans pop for him. He jumps down before mouthing the words “Thank You†as he leaves the ring and heads up the ramp. Rock disappears to the back.
Wade Barrett is struggling to get to his feet. He crawls over to the corner and tries to pick himself up. He fails the first time but the second tie he musters the strength to get to his knees, when.....
[video=youtube_share;vpULMF31PwM]http://youtu.be/vpULMF31PwM[/video]
"The Beaten Path" hits the PA, and Wade looks up confused at the titan tron, as Bully Ray makes his way out onto the ramp with a microphone. He looks down at the ring and smirks. Wade still confused gets to his feet.
Bully Ray: Wade Barrett! Don't be alarmed, don't be scared, I'm coming down to the ring to make things right. What we just saw in that ring was a travesty and everyone knows it!
Bully reaches the ring and gets in. He talks to Barrett now face to face.
Do you know who I am? Do you? I... am Bully Ray. But, I know who you are Wade. You can't let anyone here forget that your the greatest champion to walk the UWF. The only living UWF Grand Slam champion. The man that has the plan around here. But you don't do you. Your the man with a faction that has no titles, and is seconded to the N..W..O. But Wade... this is where I can help you. This is where I can give you the injection that you have needed Wade!
Wade smiles at Bullys words thinking he is on about joining the European Revolution. The smile doesn't last long.
Yes Wade Barrett, I can give you.... your lethal... injection.
And with that Bully cracks Wade hard in the skull with the microphone. The crowd boo even though they dislike Wade Barrett as Bully Ray shouts at Wade "You will know who I am!!". From there he goes out of the ring and gets some rope, and a kendo stick. He throws them both in the ring and follows them in. Wade not moving after a battle with The Great One first, gets pulled up to his knees and the rope is put across his neck as Bully pulls on the rope with one hand choking Wade out. With the other hand Bully grabs the microphone and talks again.
Don't worry Wade. Cesaro will come and save you. Cesaro will come and save you. Or will he?!
With those words the cameras show Cesaro in his locker room knocked out.
Cole: Oh lord. This doesn't look good for Wade Barrett King.
King: Doesn't look good? He could take him out, stop it Bully Ray, there's no need for all this!
As Wade sees this picture, it's like he loses hope and his eyes close as Bully Ray keeps wrenching at Wades neck. When The Bully finally lets go Wade flops to the mat. Bully laughs as he gets to his feet and picks up the kendo stick. He starts to lash Wade in the back and with every lash his smile gets wider and wider, until referees and backstage officials come out to break this up. Bully finally stops and smiles at his handy work, before looking out in the crowd with the kendo stick up.
Bully Ray calmly walks to the back like nothing has happened, when in reality he may have taken out the European Revolution single handedly. Raw then heads to another commercial.

WWE Money In The Bank
--------------------
The cameras come back to ringside, something is going down as stage hands are running around everywhere. The crowd is in silence as stagehands put Lounges up in the ring, they put a table in the middle, placing two mics on this table and placing a nice tall lamp in the corner. The ring looks like a chill out lounge, actually it looks like a V.I.P lounge. The ring empties, the camera shows a big security guard at the bottom of the ramp, waiting to let someone past the red rope his guarding. The silence is broken as a familiar, yet not too familiar in the UWF arena hits the P.A System.
[video=youtube;G5c4dpaBbzE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5c4dpaBbzE&feature=fvwrel[/video]
The crowd raise to their feet as smoke lifts from the side of the massive tunnel, set up at the top of the ramp. The crowd look anxiously towards the tunnel, waiting for a certain someone to emerge when suddenly, the flaps fly open, first his feet appear, then the torso follows and then his whole body is in view as MVP bursts out from the back, looking pretty snazzy in his street clothes. He looks around at all the fans, reaching over the railings and barricades, wanting high fives from the Ballin Superstar, he just walks down the middle of the ramp, coolly chewing his bubble gum. He comes to the bottom of the ramp, stops and waits for his security guard to let him in.
Security slowly reaches down and unclips the rope, clearing the way for MVP to walk round to the steel steps, walk up them looking very cocky and make his way into the ring. The fans still booing him as he makes his way to the table, picks up one of the mics, removing his sun glasses from his eyes and placing them at the top of his head. He folds back his sleeves while smiling and raises the mic to talk but the crowd stop him with a chant of 'Asshole'. He motions for them to quiet down and raises the mic, this time he actually gets to talk.
The Ballin Superstar
Montel Vontavious Porter
The MVP of CWA being out here means one thing, Big Things Popping, while all the little Things are stopping because the V.I.P Lounge is for people better then you.
The crowd gives MVP the reaction he wants as the boos pour in.
Now, lets get down to some business, I bet all of you are surprised to me here, I was giving the night off by Teddy Long as he knows he has been working me hard lately, between having to wrestle every week, twice last week, training to wrestle, all the autograph sessions, all the movie premiers, all the nightclubs wanting me to be the first V.I.P to step a foot inside their respected Nightclubs and all the countless women that want me to share their beds with them, I haven't really had any time to myself. Tonight would have been the perfect night for MVP to stay at home in Miami, sit back in my home cinema with a few drinks by myside, hopefully get a few hours sleep when N.W.O decided to make an appearance and generally just chill out but you all know thats not how I roll, in fact, I decided to make the flight over to Canada because I have something very important to say, something that I have to get off my chest, something that just couldn't wait another night and I have a very special guest lined up for this very special debut of the V.I.P Lounge in the UWF to help me with it. Without any further ado, Mickey, please allow my first guest to come through the red rope, please make him feel welcome.
MVP points towards the stage, Mickey opening the Rope as everyone is wondering who it is. MVP looks towards the stage as the crowd is making more and more sound, the whispers circulating throughout the arena as suddenly, a massive photo of MVP appears on the Titantron. Mikey closes the Rope back up as MVP nods his head a little, knowing he pulled one of on the crowd.
Oh, that's right, you have already let our very special guest into the V.I.P Lounge haven't you Mickey? Let me explain myself before you all start complaing and chucking tantums at me, the reason I don't have a guest out here tonight is very quite simple when you think long and hard about it. I looked long and far, I thought long and hard about who I was going to invite to my V.I.P Lounge but at the end of my research, at the end of the sleepless nights, I finally came up with the conclusion that no matter who I invited to come and be apart of UWF History, none of them had anything as interesting as I have to say. No one deserved to be remembered only be the fact there were the first ever guest in UWF so think of that as you like but I know I am 100% correct in my decision.
The fans begin to boo MVP, as he flicks his arms out, re adjusting his rolex on his wrist. He doesn't look bothered by the crowd as he continues.
It's time now for the real reason I came to Canada tonight to bless you with my presence, it's time for me to enlighten you. Last night at Starrcade, I had the chance to become the Number One Contender to Stone Cold Steve Austin's UWF Championship, the biggest title you can win on Raw but I had to go through Mr Anderson to achieve that. It turned out to be tougher then I thought, in fact actually going the complete opposite way to what I thought would happen as Mr Anderson beat me, Mr Anderson is now the Number One Contender and he gets a Title Match in the future, he even gets a match tonight while I have nothing for the future. I thought it wasn't possible but he believed in himself, Stone Cold gave me a visit in my lockeroom before my match and he told me he believed in Mr Anderson but the main people that believed in him were you people, his 'Assholes' as he likes to call you. You always thought he would beat me and low and behold, you were right at Starrcade. It got me thinking, ever since I have come back to the American Wrestling World, debuting UWF, there was so much hype surrounding me, everyone talking about how talented I was, how good I was, talking about how much they were expecting of me but look at how that has worked out so far. I have been in 4 matches now, not being able to get the win in 3 of them, something has gone horribly wrong for me, I feel well, I feel excellent actually yet I still have only managed one win. You don't know what that does to a star that is using to shining, but like I said, it got me thinking, it got me thinking once again long and hard, hard and long why I might be failing until earlier this week, it finally hit me, I figured out what I was doing wrong and I'm surprised I didn't figure it out ever so long ago. The reason I have had a rough start to my UWF career is because I let the amount of money UWF had offered on my contract go straight to my head. I put myself on a pedestall that I am beginning to realize that I just don't belong on, I put myself up in the clouds to be in the company of the gods while I put you all beneath me, thinking that you were all rags and my subjects in my world. I put everyone down and talked the talk to a point where I couldn't walk the walk but the first solution to a problem is recognizing you have a problem, then figuring out how your going to solve that problem, I have seen the error of my ways, I know where I went wrong but the solution to the problem, I need a bit of help with, you see I've told you what was going wrong but I am going to change my ways. I need all of your help with this so please, listen closly to what I am about to say. Everyone, I am sorry for the way I have treated you over the last month and it would mean alot to me if you show that you accept my apoligize by giving me a cheer and a little chant of my name. So please, do you accept my apology or do I need to do a bit more?
MVP lowers the mic, waiting for a response to the crowd as there is a little moment of silence, the crowd thinking over in their head if they should listen to MVP. MVP starts to mumble something as suddenly the silence is broken. The response is a surprising one but its the one that MVP asked for as the crowd start to cheer for him and a little 'MVP' chant brakes out. MVP starts pumping his arms, smiling and nodding his head as the crowd continues to chant. MVP looks towards Mickey giving him the thumbs up as Mickey dittos the thumbs up. The crowd quiet down at the request of MVP as he motions for them to with his arms. The arena is in complete silence now as MVP looks to talk again but suddenly bursts out laughing and shaking his head. He bends overin laughter as the crowd look around at each other wondering what his laughing about. MVP gathers himself and lifts the mic back to his mouth.
You idiots actually believed that? Geez Mickey you were right, remind me to give you that $20 after the show brother.
The crowd begin to boo, booing the roof off as MVP and Mickey begin to laugh once again. The boos are defeaning. MVP laughs and laughs as the fans continue to show their dissaproval towards him. MVP raises his shoulders his head straight up as the boos quiet down.
Thats why I am Better then all of you, I wasn't even trying my hardest to try and convince you I had changed and you ate up every word, you really think Mr Anderson deserved to win at Starrcade, no no no, he got a fluke win that will correct itself when he gets his ass handed to him by Stone Cold. You think I was really going to drop myself down to your level, kiss your babies, pay money to go watch other people, lose all my teeth and bred with my own family, you are so much stupider then I ever thought, I actually feel sorry for all of you Canadians but the bad thing is, all the Americans would have fallen for the exact same thing. You see, the fact of the matter is that I am still the Greatest Wrestler ever to be alive, I still have the Highest Paying Contract in the history of UWF and I am still Half Man, Half Amazing and nothing will ever change that about me. I have been thinking though and I have been thinking about my future, what is in store for MVP and although Mr Anderson gets my title shot that I truly deserve to have in the near future, I will be back on the winning ways, when people decide to stop deciding to screw me over, I see the future and I see myself being the shinging star of UWF, I see myself on top of the mountain and what I truly see in the near future is me going backstage, putting my feet up and having a night off, something else that I truly deserve while everyone else shows you that they can't entertain anywhere near the level I can. So see some of you later, hopefully not too many as you all look like freaks but I've wasted enough of my precise time out here putting a show on for you, try to enjoy the rest of the night now that the highlight of the night has finished. I know I certainly will enjoy the rest of my night but that's because I'm gonna make it, BALLIN.
MVP does his signature taunt as the whole crowd just start laying into him. He drops his mic, walking towards the apron as he steps through the ropes, dropping down to the floor and awaits Mickey to open the rope up for him. Mickey unclips the rope, letting MVP through, MVP points to his arm, just before Mickey grabs his arm and raises it in the air. The crowd in camera shot up the ramp start giving MVP the 'wanker' gesture as MVP ignores them, walking past all of them, being followed by Mickey as they dissapear through the curtain.
As there's a break in the action, the Raw cameras cut backstage. The first thing seen as things cut away is the Smoking Skull version of the former Undisputed Championship which is now known as the UWF Championship. The camera is filming the belt at close proximity, and in the upper right and left sections of the screen, a man's fingers can be seen hanging downward and grasping the leather of the belt.
At the sight of this, the fans in the crowd are booing viciously, as they know who the title belongs to and all know the result of Starrcade. However, neither of these things are going to phase the Rattlesnake one bit, as every time he has something to say, he says it.
Stone Cold: The greatest You Dubya Eff Champion of all time. After I won my match at Starrcade, that's what Michael Cole could be heard sayin', that I had taken my first step to becoming the greatest You Dubya Eff Champion of all time. That's flattering and everything, but what Michael didn't realize when he said that is Stone Cold already is the greatest You Dubya Eff Champion of all time, because he is the first and only You Dubya Eff Champion. Even if you look at it as being the former Undisputed Championship, I'm still the greatest, because only three other men have ever held it; See Em Punk, Wade Barrett, and Austin Aries, and I've beaten 'em all.
The fans boo this fact even though Barrett and Aries are heels.
Boo it all you want, it's history, so no matter how much you piss on it with yer disdain, it's not gonna change. The fact that I beat 'em isn't gonna change, the fact that I'm better isn't gonna change, and me being the man that holds this belt isn't gonna change! And for those of you who thought it was going to nine nights ago, I should ask you all ta' stand and the others ta' sit down so I can walk through the arena and punch ya in the face for bein' so damn stupid. Speakin' of my match, Raw management's a little upset that it was, as they put it, shown no love. Me personally, I'm very happy with how things went down. Wade Barrett and I didn't have to beat the piss out of each other with ladders and assorted garbage ta' make our match watchable, but what else do you expect from a bunch of indy pissants, they don't have enough between him ta' draw interest on name value alone.
Even though he's shooting on Smackdown superstars and trashing a Smackdown matches, Austin's comments send the crowd into an uproar, as they start up a dueling chant, working together as one side chants, "F*** you Austin!" and then the other side joins in after with "It was great!".
Alright, now ya've pissed me off!
The championship disappears from view as Austin pulls it offscreen. The camera remains still for a moment before Austin calls out to the man holding it.
Do yer job and follow me, ya dipshit!
The camera turns and films Austin as he walks down the hallway, following him all the way to the backstage side of the curtain.
[video=youtube;tgaQHHJMDtA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgaQHHJMDtA[/video]
"Badass" by Saliva begins to play over the PA system, sending the fans in attendance into an uproar as they give the Texas Rattlesnake a negative reaction. As they voice their disdain, through the curtain he walks, with his championship belt in tow. Austin makes his way down the ramp quickly, eyeing the ring with a purpose, as he arrives at the steel steps and walks up them, then turning and walking along the apron before stepping through the ropes. Austin walks over to the opposite ropes and motions to the ringside official for a microphone, and is granted one. Austin turns and walks towards the middle of the ring as his music cuts off, making the reaction of the crowd more audible.
Ya wanna boo me, do it to my face, ya bastards! You don't like it when Stone Cold comes on his show and talks trash about Smackdown? I don't give a damn about Smackdown, it never did anything for me except hold me down and hold me back. Raw is a real brand! Teddy Long's a stupid son of a bitch and the roster's full of bottomfeeders that couldn't hold my jockstrap with both hands, but even with those things workin' against 'em, it's still a hell of a lot better than Smackdown! Liked their main event at Starrcade, did ya? Only one spot in that match impressed Stone Cold, and that was when they rang the final bell and I didn't have ta' suffer through it anymore. I don't know why any of ya stuck around for that garbage anyway, the real main event had already come and gone, ya shoulda been in yer cars drivin' home talkin' about how Wade got his Barrett Barrage served to him on a silver platter and shoved up his ass!
Bein' happy about how that two outta three falls match went down is just as stupid as Ken Anderson bein' happy that he's the next sumbitch in line. Ya beat the prison community's version a' Nelly, should ya really be that proud of yerself? I don't think so, because you didn't accomplish anything. Anyone on this pitiful roster can beat Em Vee Pea, except for Randy Orton, but when you grew up bein' taught ta' fight by Cowboy Bob, I guess anyone can kick your ass. But if that's what you want to justify the chip on your shoulder with, be my guest, because the question wasn't could you beat Em Vee Pea, it's could you beat Stone Cold once you won the contendership. The answer is no.
The crowd boos this, as many of them are fans of the Green Bay native.
I hate Canadians. Not a single good thing has come out of this place. The "Excellence of Execution" Bret Hart.
The fans pop for the mention of the "Hitman".
Had his career ended by a simple kick. The "Rated R Superstar" Edge.
The fans give a mixed reaction.
Went out because of his neck, and when he tried ta' come back, I stepped on his dreams and put 'em in a paper bag with his name on it, almost like I was packin' him a lunch for when he got his ass kicked out of the company and needed somethin' ta' eat on the ride home. Chris Jericho? Garbage. Lance Storm. Garbage. Your sports teams, your musicians, your actors and actresses, it's just garbage begetting garbage. But perhaps the biggest piece of shit to float from this waste of land to the You Ess of Aye is my opponent tonight, Christian.
Christian, though a heel, still gets a warm reception from his hometown crowd.
When the match was made and scheduled to take place here in his hometown, I knew I would enjoy it greatly, perhaps more than I should. But there's a silver lining, because even though he's not getting the "one more match" he's clamoring for, even though I'm gonna end his undefeated streak and embarass his punk ass in front of his family, you provide free health care, which I assure you he's gonna need.
At this moment, Austin is interrupted by someone from nearby.
Steve...
It's Jerry Lawler, who the fans pop huge for as he stands up from the announce table, a microphone in his hand.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: Each and every week, you've come out here and, to anyone that'd listen, you've shot your mouth off, ranting and raving about anything and everything. And I've sat here at this table each time, listening to it like everyone else, letting you play it up, letting you talk your trash, because usually after you speak your peace, you go away and we don't have to see you again until your match, if you have one, which you haven't in the past few weeks on Raw.
An "Ooooh!" rings out from the crowd.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: I guess the point I'm making is, I'm tired of it, Steve. I'm not going to listen to it anymore. The language you use is foul, the things you say are insulting, you have an undeserved chip on your shoulder. You might think you're the greatest champion, but you're not. In fact...
Stone Cold puts his hand up and King quits talking.
King, it's no secret that you've never liked Stone Cold. You've pretended to on-air all these years because you were the face commentator, and you had to play the good cop ta' Michael Cole's bad cop, and back when you were partnered up with Jay Are, ya kept yer mouth shut because you knew I was his best friend. But now you've had enough, now yer lettin' the whole world now how you really feel. Quite frankly, I think yer just pissed off that you've become soft and never held what I currently hold, but you think up whatever reason you want and stick with it, alright kid? But if you aren't just shootin' yer mouth off, then why don't ya come into Stone Cold's ring and shut him up.
The fans cheer as Austin drops his microphone and motions for King to bring it, as Lawler drops his microphone and begins walking around the table. Michael pleads with him not to go through with this, but King can't be talked out of it as he makes his way up the steel steps, walks along the apron, and steps through the ropes into the ring. But as he does, Austin charges and levels him with the UWF Championship. The crowd boos as Austin drags King by the wrist into the corner and grabs the ropes to each side of him, stomping a mudhole in Jerry Lawler. Stone Cold pulls him up to his feet and steps backward as King staggers out of the corner, as Austin flips him off and kicks him in the stomach, turning and delivering a Stunner! Stone Cold looks at King with fierceness in his eyes for a moment, then grabs him, beginning to bring him to his feet as if he's going for another Stunner. Suddenly...
*FEEDBACK* MISTERRRRRR *FEEDBACK*
Austin throws down King and gets ready for Mr. Anderson who comes sprinting from the back down the ramp, sliding into the ring as Stone Cold grabs his belt and leaves quickly. He backs up the ramp quickly as Anderson points at him and warns, "I'm comin' for your ass!". Austin flips him off, then turns his back and continues walking away as Ken checks on Lawler. Raw then heads to another commercial.
--------------------
TNA's Destination X! July 8th
--------------------
Cole: Welcome back to Tuesday Night Raw ladies and gentlemen. And after that heinous attack from Stone Cold Steve Austin, I regret to inform you that Jerry Lawler has been given the rest of the evening off. So joining me at this moment is six-time World Champion; Booker T!
Booker T: What's up there dawg? Before I say anythin' else, lemme say that that damn rattlesanke is goin' get what's comin' to him. But right now, right now, we got ourselves one hell of a match up!
Cole: That's right. Because right now, we have former European Champion Antonio Cesaro facing off aganist former Undisputed Champion; Austin Aries!
Booker T: Aww Shucky Ducky Quack Quack!
Justin Roberts: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, he is "Double A" Austin Aries.
As the music of Austin Aries hits, the fans begin to boo as loud as they possibly can. Aries soon makes his way out onto the stage, wearing his customary pink boa. The Television Championship shines proudly as he rests arounds his waist. Aries makes his way down the ramp, ignoring the "common" folks, and simpy enters the ring; awaiting the arrival of his opponent.
The song plays loudly throughout the arena and when the guitar kicks in fully, a baldy man walks out from behind the curtain. He is wearing his ring gear and he looks to the crowd in disgust. The crowd are shouting 'HEEEEYY!!' at him, as is tradition. He raises a single hand in the air in the style of a European Uppercut, before walking down to the ring. He walks slowly, taking his time to let everyone get a look at him. He walks up the ring steps and then through the ropes into the ring. He stands in front of the ropes and poses as the crowd boo him. He gets into the ring and grabs a microphone from the ring tech and proceeds to speak.
Justin Roberts: From Lucerne, Switzerland, weighing in at 119 kilos, he is 'The Very European' Mister Antonio Cesaro!
The two former champions meet in the center of the ring as the bell rings. In a sign of extreme disrespect, Aries slaps Cesaro straight across the face.
Cole: That was a blatant sign of disrespect by the former Undisputed Champion!
Booker: He jus' slapped the taste out that boys' mouth.
Cesaro doesn’t take to kind to that and goes right after Aries. Austin sees him coming and quickly slides under the bottom rope, exiting the ring. Cesaro goes after him, chasing the former Champion around the ring. Aries runs around the outside apron, before sliding in back under the bottom rope. Cesaro soon follows suit, but when he slides back in the ring, Aries puts the boots to the back of his head. Cesaro tries to get up, but Aries continues to stomp on him. Aries bounces off the far ropes and low dropkicks Cesaro to the ribs, sending the former European Champion to the arena floor.
Cole: Antonio seems some what out of sorts hear.
Cesaro tries to get back to his feet, and as soon as he does, he is met by a charging Aries, who jumps through the ropes, taking the Cesaro back down with a suicide dive. The former Champ gets back to his feet rather quickly, and shows off to the entire front row, who all appropriately cheer him. Aries grabs Cesaro by the back of the head, and throws him back in the ring. Aries stands on the ring apron, before he slingshots back in the ring, dropping his legs across the back of Cesaro’s head. Aries shoots the half and goes for the first pinfall of the match….

Antonio kicks out!
Aries gets back to his feet, and soon so does Cesaro. As soon as the Cesaro gets to his feet, Aries leaps high in the air and delivers a beautiful standing dropkick that connects square to Cesaro’s jaw. Antonio hits the mat only to bounce back to his feet, where Aries connects with another dropkick. This time, Cesaro doesn’t get back up, and Austin goes for yet another cover…

Cesaro kicks out!
Aries quickly gets off of Cesaro, and heads over to the turnbuckle. He climbs to the top, and waits for Antonio to get back to his feet. When the now ex-European Champ does, Aries leaps off the top turnbuckle, and spreads his arm, looking for a full extension Crossbody. Aries hangs in the air, almost in slow-motion, and as he comes down, Cesaro is able to perform his own leap and dropkick Aries right in the sternum. Austin hit’s the mat hard and grabs his chest in pain. Cesaro quickly runs over and covers Aries…

Aries rolls a shoulder.
Cesaro gets back to his feet, grabbing Aries and lifting him back to his feet. He throws Aries off the ropes and as he bounces back, Cesaro lowers his had and lifts Aries onto his shoulder and brings him down to the mat with a Samoan Drop. The ring shakes as Aries’ body hits the mat, and Cesaro simply lies back and goes for a cover…

Aries is able to grab Cesaro’s arm, and shift backwards, now placing Cesaro in a pinning predicament…

Cesaro kicks out!
Cole: Nice counter by Mister European.
Booker: He almost had that boy right there.
Both champions get to their feet at relatively the same time. Aries attacks first, looking for a forearm shot to the face of his opponent, but Cesaro ducks under before grabbing Aries by the neck and bringing him down with a neck breaker. Cesaro grabs Aries by the arm and drags him over to the ropes. He places Austin’s left arm on the bottom rope, before using that same rope to catapult himself in the air and brings all of his body weight onto that left arm of Aries. Austin yells out, in pain, but there is no rest for him, as Cesaro once again bounces off that bottom rope and comes down on Aries’ arm once more.
Cole: Cesaro seems to be setting up for the Inverted Chikara Special. That vicious armbar.
Cesaro backs up off of Aries, and takes pride in his handy work. Aries pulls himself with help of the rope, trying to get some feeling back into his arm. He turns around, and turns his attention back to Cesaro, but when he does, Cesaro grabs Aries by the left arm, before jumping in the air and bringing Aries’ arm down onto his knees. Austin holds his arm in pain, as Cesaro makes another cover…

Austin kicks out!
Booker: My man Antonio really puttin’ a whoppin on this boy. A win right here might jus’ put him in my Fave Five.
Cesaro gets to his feet, and brings Aries up with him. He once again throws Austin off he far ropes, and when he comes back, Antonio attempts to perform a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker, but when Cesaro spins Aries, Austin manages to land on his feet. The counter surprises Cesaro, and gives Aries the opportunity to drop Antonio with an enziguiri to the back of his head. Cesaro drops to the mat and Aries goes for a cover…

Antonio kicks out!
Aries slaps the mat in frustration. He gets to his feet, and signals that this match is over. He grabs Antonio Cesaro by the neck and lifts him to his feet. Cesaro is out on his feet, and Austin looks him dead in the eye before yelling at him “I am better than youâ€, Aries lifts Cesaro high in the air…
Cole: Brainbuster seems to be on the way.
Booker: This ‘bout to be it right here.
Aries does indeed hold Cesaro high in the air, looking for the Brainbuster. As Aries holds up Cesaro though, the former European Champion is able to shift his body weight and land on his feet behind Aries. Aries turns around only to be doubled over with a kick to the stomach from Cesaro. Antonio then proceeds to lift Austin Aries onto his shoulders and dropping him with a Death Valley Driver.
Cole: He calls that The Alpamore Waterslide!
Cesaro pulls Aries away from the ropes and hooks both legs….

Aries kicks out!
Cesaro looks at the ref, asking if it was a three count. The referee says no, so The ex-European Champion goes back on he assault. Cesaro heads to the turnbuckle, and jumps to the middle rope. Austin Aries has now pulled himself up,, and stumbles towards the corner where Cesaro resides. Antonio grabs Aries by the head, and attempts to leap out, looking for a Tornado DDT. Aries, has the where with all, to counter the move, by pushing Cesaro off as he’s in mid rotation. Cesaro flies across the ring, but lands on his feet. Aries charges at him, only to have Cesaro grab him by the ribs and lifting him in the air, bringing Aries down with a powerful Sky High Powerslam. Aries’ body crashes on the mat; and his shoulders rest as the referee begins his count…
1...

Aries grabs the bottom rope!
Cesaro looks at Aries with a sly grin on his face. Antonio gets to his feet, and looks down on Aries. Cesaro grabs his own arm, seemingly signaling for that Inverted Chikara Special that referred to earlier. Cesaro pulls Aries away from the ropes, and grabs the arm, looking for the armbar, but Aries senses it and gets away; rolling to the outside.
Cole: Smart move by Aries. Take a powder breask; he needs it.
Booker: That boy on the run now Cole.
Cesaro soon goes after Aries, not letting him go too far. He grabs Aries by the hair and throws him back in the ring. Antonio soon follows after, he charges at Aries, looking for “Very European†Uppercut, but as Cesaro charges, Aries pulls the referee in front, causing Cesaro to take him out instead.
Cole: What a cowardly move by Aries.
With the referee down, and Cesaro’s attention distracted, Aries looks to take the European down with a clothesline, but Antonio ducks under and kicks Aries right in the temple. Austin drops to the ma, seemingly out cold. In a move of habit, Cesaro goes for the cover hooking both legs, although there is no referee…
Cole: 1..2..3..4..Antonio Cesaro’s got this match won
Booker: You can count to one hundred, it don’t matter!
Cesaro finally remembers that there is no referee, so he gets off of Aries. He attempts to revive and the ref, which of course is futile. Aries has once again rolled outside the ring, as Cesaro continues to try to wake the ref up. Aries has gone to the timekeeper, and in a strange move grabs a steel chair and cradles it. He leans with his back against the ring, attempting to catch his breath. Cesaro has no idea what has transpired, but he sees Aries standing on the outside, so he goes after him. He puts his head through the ropes and reaches to the outside, trying to grab Aries and bring him back in the ring. Out of nowhere, Aries takes the chair and blasts him in the face. Cesaro drops to the mat in a heap. Austin Aries sneaks back in the ring, and covers Cesaro; hooking both legs as the referee is now coming to….
1...
Cole: You’ve got to be kidding me! Austin Aries has proven to me that he will do anything to become Undisputed Champion again!
2...
Booker: He jus’ beat this boy with that chair!
3...
Roberts: Here is your winner; “Double A†Austin Aries!
After Aries has his hand raised, he motions for a microphone. He is soon handed one and cuts a promo.
Austin Aries: Orton!! I know you're watching right now, and I hope you paid very good attention to what just happened out here! I have two missions in UWF now that I'm back. The first is to win back my UWF Championship! And I promise all of you "A Double" fans out there, that it's going to happen rather sooner than later. But before I get to that mission, there's something else I have to take care of. And that brings me to mission number two Randy; you! You walk around here with the rest of The New World Order acting as if you're better than everyone else. New flash Randy, you're not! You're not better than me! And I'm going to porve it to you!
The intensity can be heard in Aries' voice as he looks to make a point.
Aries: Do you remember Backlash Randy? Because I remember it fondly! That was the night that you punted me in the skull! That punt caused me to miss a month's worth of action. And while I was out for that month Randy, I got stronger, I got better than I was before. And now I'm back. You see Orton, you made one mistake that night, you didn't finish the job. You let me come back! And that will come back to bite you in the ass Orton. You know the old expression, don't you Randy? Don't hunt what you can't kill? Well Randy, that punt proved that you can't kill me. And toinught, I just proved that I will do anything to be successful again. So now Randy Orton, you are the one being hunted. You, and your entire crew. I will end each and every one of you. But I'm going to start with you Orton. And I'm starting with you Orton because, like you, the New World is nothing more than a posionous snake. And you know what they say, cut the head off a snake, and the body will follow. So I've talked it over with Teddy Long and he's given me the green light. At The Great American Bash, it will be Randy Orton versus Austin Aries!
The fans pop at this huge announcement! Aries doesn't seem to be done yet though.
Aries: So count the days Orton. Count the hours, count the minutes, count the seconds, because at The Great American Bash, the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived will put an end to the NWO!
Aries throws the mic down before leaving the ring and heading up the ramp as Raw heads to another commerical.

Looking for to another edition of the Dresdon Dose!

Whoa Oh
[video=youtube;QEZP_bArtRI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEZP_bArtRI[/video]
*Cody Rhodes intro hits and the crowd quickly boo, Rhodes steps out on stage the United States title around his waist under his suit jacket, he opens it slightly showing it off for a moment before he makes his way down to the ring*
He makes his way down the ramp, not wasting any time as he walks up the steel steps and walks across the ring apron, wiping his feet on the ring apron before he steps into the ring walking over across the ring to get a microphone and stands in the middle of the ring.
Cody Rhodes:
Growing up my father always told me that man…man is mostly good. My Father told me to do what I was told and “have fun†in this business, if your told to let a camera follow you as you plumb a toilet well you “have fun†with it…if you have polka dots on your tights you know what son…you just gotta have fun with it. I’ve been one to take my father’s advice, but I’ve learned to do so with a grain of salt. For you see man is inherently evil, sure you all act as if you are well and good but that is only on the surface. You all have terrible lives, atrocious looks, abysmal talent and yet no matter how bad it is for you, you wish it be worse on your neighbor. I am the Personification of your malevolence because this clear mask hides away what you all should aspire to be...Dashing...There is also one other thing he and other “veteran†friends of him told me, whatever opportunity is presented to you… work with it. If you’re told you are the second tier title contender then you put on a big smile and act like it’s the most important thing in the world. That is one thing I will not do, the championship around my waist I know it isn’t the end all be all. But what it is is a statement. In this business there is a very common rule when it comes to championships that even those who think they are smart when it comes to the goings on in this business know, the rule is for someone to move up the card and get the world title shot they need to lose the title beforehand. It’s been the norm in our industry, before Randy Orton faced Chris Benoit he had to lose the intercontinental title. Before John Cena faced JBL he had to lose the United States Championship, The Ultimate Warrior a Man I’ve defeated one on one is the only case where he won the world title while being intercontinental champion. Triple H holds that distinction but he won the Intercontinental while he was world champion that was a whole different case, see there is a certain statement you are putting out when you do what I plan to do.
*Rhodes cracks his neck to the side before continuing*
I will go through every contender of the United States championship put in front of me, defend my championship like any champion before me, and prove just why I am the greatest United States champion in history. I’ve been forced to defend my championship twice now and I’ve just won it but in doing so Mr. Theodore Long is playing into my plan, Because as I run through the United States Championship contenders I will do so until I have forced a UWF Championship match. A UWF championship match I already deserve since I am the first World champion, that never got a rematch and I defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin one on one before he suddenly became a contender for the title and I defeated Mr. Anderson one on one as well. But in any case once I do this, I will have proven without a shadow of a doubt that I am better than any and every ranking there is in UWF. And therefore be seen for what I have always been…better... as I hold my coveted United States Champion and I become World Champio-
*Rhodes is interrupted as he turns towards stage*
I'M OFF THE CHAIN...
TIME TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN...
[video=youtube;3NGXhkeHbqI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NGXhkeHbqI[/video]
*The fans suddenly erupt into a cheering frenzy as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion's theme hits the PA system and after a few moments, Robert Roode merges out on the titantron.*
*Roode marches down the entrance ramp, with the NWA World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder, Rhodes snarls and glares at Roode but Roode ignores him as he climbs into the ring and takes a microphone from a ring technician, Roode stares at Cody Rhodes and clears his throat before confronting Cody Rhodes.*
NWA World Heavyweight Champion,
Robert Roode:
Cody, Cody, Cody! Fine speech you just did there, but you sound so desperate to be a World Champion, it's almost pathetic, however Cody Rhodes, I am willing to give you a life line to escape from mid-card mediocrity and a chance to play with the best in professional wrestling and by that, I mean me. That's right Cody Rhodes, you have a chance to face the IT factor of professional wrestling, you have a chance to be like your father and fight THE MAN of professional wrestling for the National Wrestling Alliance World Heavyweight Championship; but unlike your father, you are going to bottle it, you're gonna fail at the first hundle because I am better than you, your father and soon I will surpass Ric Flair!
*Some of the fans pop but some fans boo and some wooo, a real mixed reaction for Robert Roode last words but most of the fans rally behind Roode as he continues to tackle his opponent.*
It's sad though Cody, because I know you are nothing like your father and you will back down from the challenge, because you are a coward, much like when we met at Starrcade, you back away after I came to the ring to confront you and no doubt you are formulating an excuse to back out of a NWA World Championship Match against me, because you know for a fact, I am better than you, and I damn sure you know I will be the of the New World Order because I am simply the most valuable man in professional wrestling and I am the leader of the next generation... To be frank with you Cody Rhodes... It pays to be Roode...
Rhodes looks angry but looks down on the ground taking a breath and calming his nerves, he looks up at Roode lifting his mic not showing much emotion behind his low toned words*
Cody Rhodes: You're actually right for once, I am nothing like my father...because I am far and away better than he ever was. I don't dance around like some clown, wearing polka dots and smiling wide at the laughing crowd. I came into this business better, I won a world championship within my first month in UWA, I won the UCW Championship, I won the UWF Championship. I've done it all and yet those in charge always find a way to screw me when I do accomplish that milestone, of the entire roster whether your a champion or not, I am the Only man who deserves a championship around his waist. See I'm not obsessed with the world championship, I'm obsessed with payback, for once those in charge chose to screw around with Cody Rhodes destiny they unleashed something they didn't see coming. Something Drew McIntyre, something Brock Lesnar, something the Ultimate Warrior himself who hasn't been seen in months didn't see coming. Which brings me to my next point.
*Rhodes looks down at Roodes shoulder at the championship that sits there*
Cody Rhodes: As far as that championship goes, I'm going to tell you something you don't hear so often from those in charge, something they tell me every single week...No.
*the crowd boos Cody Rhodes answer, wanting to see Roode get his hands on him after all Cody Rhodes' talk*
Cody Rhodes: No because the NWA World Championship you brought isn't a UWF sanctioned championship, no because I already have to defend my united states championship, no because while it may pay to be Roode it still isn't enough to be worth my time. But since you seem obsessed with mentioning my father, I wanted it to be known that I do take his advice like I said with a grain of salt. He told me to "have fun"...and when I saw my old partner my old friend laying in the middle of this very ring motionless...when I saw a resting beast and heard the faint crack of skull hitting my kneecap...or even something as simple as feeling someones neck twisting around under my arm as their own looks get a make over by hitting the mat or the sweet sound of leather hitting the side of someones face in mid-air...that...hehe...hahah
*Cody Rhodes begins laughing out loud, he suddenly crinks his neck to the side his laughter stopping cold as a serious look replaces it on his face*
that is how I have fun...
*Cody Rhodes starts to chuckle before he steps backwards hooking the second rope with his arm and falling back through the ropes landing on his feet on the oustide, he starts to walk up the ramp when he stops hearing Roodes voice*
Keep walking Cody, keep telling yourself that you are having fun, when in actuality you are nothing but a bitter human-being, and Cody, sooner or later, you WILL have to face me in this wrestling ring and I know for the fact, regardless whether the NWA World Heavyweight Championship is sanctioned or not, I will be a champion but the question is will you?
*Rhodes looks around the crowd with a snarl before he turns around putting his hand up on his face and walking up the ramp a little quicker*
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the clock is running out for you Cody! I'll be seeing you around!
*The fans pop as Cody Rhodes disappears into the backstage as Roode chuckles and stands in the middle of the ring, and raises the NWA World Heavyweight Championship high above his head.*
*UWF Raw then heads to commerical break as the fans cheer Roode as he holds his title high, but his moment is soon interrupted as...*
1,2, You Hear The Clock Tickin'
Tick, Tock, You're About to Stop Livin'
Tick, Tock, I want you to Remember Me
Tick, Tock, but the dead don't have no memory!

"I'm Comin" by Sillk the Shocker interrupts Bobby Roode, and he soon turns to the stage awaiting the arrival of Montel Vontavious Porter. Roode has a somewhat confused look on his face as known of this has anything to do with MVP. MVP continues to play, but MVP is nowhere to be seen.
Cole: Where is MVP? That's his music!
King: I don't know Cole, but...
Before King can finish his sentence, MVP jumps the guardrail and enters the ring from behind. He quickly takes down Robert Roode, which Roode was unable to see coming. MVP lays a few boots to Roode's back, before lifting him off the mat. MVP then throws Roode to the ropes and as Roode comes back, MVP lifts him off the mat and slams him with a swift Powerslam.
King: What's the meaning of this?
MVP soon mounts Roode, laying fists into the Canadians face. Roode tries to protect himself, but he's been ambushed. MVP lays about six or seven punches into Roode's skull before getting off him. MVP gets to his feet and has the entire arena booing him. That's when MVP looks down and notices the NWA World Heavyweight Championship that Bobby Roode carries around. He picks the title off the mat and stares at it, before calling it a "Piece of Shit" Championship. Roode is trying to get to his feet, and MVP sees this. He proceeds to throw the Championship back on the mat, before spinning Roode around and leaping in the air and bringing Roode face first onto the belt with a leaping STO.
Cole: Play of The Day on the Championship!
As Roode's skull bounces of the title, MVP just looks down on him from a knee. MVP doesn't move for a second, just enjoying this moment, before he asks for a microphone from ringside.
The Ballin' Superstar
MVP
Just who do you think you are? You come on Raw, you come on MY show, on MVP's show, and you try and show me up? Before Starrcade, all I heard about what Bobby Roode was comin' to Raw. And when the day gets here, they roll out the red carpet for you like you're somethin' special. You're not! I'm the highest paid wrestler in this entire company, yet Robert Roode gets Pay-Per-View for a pointless contract signing? Robert Roode, who hasn't even had a match yet, brings out some fake Championship and wants to act like he's the man. Like me make one thing clear to you Bobby, I'm the man around here! Not you, not Cody Rhodes, not any other member of the New World Order, me! I am Half Man, Half Amazin', and all of y'all will damn sure respect me!
Roode is starting to move on the mat, so MVP quickly kicks him in the side of the head before continuing.
And it's goin' to start with you Bobby! You want to come in my house and not even introduce yourself, that's disrespectful Bobby, so I'm goin' have to beat the respect into you. You see, this isn't about Cody Rhodes, this isn't about the paper Championship that you brought with you....
MVP once again picks up the NWA World Heavyweight Championship before spitting on it and throwing it out the ring to the floor.
No, this is about you comin' to my show and actin' as if you're a somebody. You're a nobody! Always have been, always will be. And now I'm goin' show you that it damn sure doesn't pay to be Roode. It pays to be M...V...P!
MVP kicks Roode one more time before leaving the ring and heading up the ramp. He walks backwards up the ramp, never taking his eye of Robert Roode, who is down and out in the center of the ring. Raw then heads to commercial with MVP proud of himself.
--------------------
Hopefully the next two matches make up for the short Championship match at Starrcade.
--------------------
Roberts: The following match is for the United States Championship and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Marietta, Georgia, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the New United States Champion; Cody Rhodes!
Whoa Oh
[video=youtube;QEZP_bArtRI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEZP_bArtRI[/video]
The nWo version of Cody Rhodes titantron hits the arena, and the crowd boos immediately following the ever distinct intro. As the lights in the arena flash on and off, Cody Rhodes emerges on stage standing on the stage he looks down on the ground looking at the brand new United States Championship wrapped around his waist. Rhodes soon enters the ring, where he waits for his opponent.
Roberts: And the challenger, from Chicago, Illonois, weighing in at 227 pounds; CM Punk!
" ... Love, your hate..
Your, faith lost..
You are now.. one of us!"
[video=youtube;h8AOp4m9q7c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8AOp4m9q7c[/video]
"Miseria Cantare" by AFI pounds throughout the arena speakers, signifying the arrival of one man - CM Punk. The capacity crowd erupts into a thunderous mixed reaction, as majority of the audience isn't quite sure which version of CM Punk they're going to see. After a short while, the man of the hour quietly steps through the curtain, wearing black shorts and his trademark t-shirt. Punk outstretches his arms and begins to walk down the entrance ramp, soaking in the crowds mixed reaction. Punk has a look of determination on his face as he ignores any possible fan interaction.
Once Punk reaches ringside, he proceeds to walk up the steel steps and climbs his way to the top rope. He once again outstretches his arms and lets out a loud yell, which causes a small section of the crowd to boo even louder. Once finished, he hops down and skips one lap around Cody. Punk stops his lap and waits for the bell to ring.
The bell rings and CM Punk goes right on the attack, swinging his right leg and hitting Cody Rhodes right in the side of the head with a roundhouse kick. Rhodes goes down and Punk jumps right on him, going for the first cover of the match….
1…

Rhodes kicks out!
Punk wastes no time, grabbing Rhodes by the arm and grape vining it, so that Rhodes is unable to protect himself. Punk then takes his free arm and throws several elbows right into the side of Cody Rhodes’ skull. The blows are stiff and you can tell that they are rattling Rhodes somewhat. Punk gets off Rhodes, and screams “I’m Back†to the fans who somewhat cheer him. He turns his attention back to Rhodes, who has dragged himself to the opposing side of the ring, in the corner. Punk charges right at Rhodes, hitting him in the corner with the trademark running high knee. Rhodes’ head snaps back and Punk grabs it, before trying to run out of the corner with a bulldog…
Cole: CM Punk is all business right now!
As Punk tries to bulldog Rhodes, Cody is able to push him in the back, breaking up the bulldog. Rhodes pushes Punk so hard, that Punk hits the turnbuckle chest first. This gives Cody the opportunity to run off the far ropes and hit a ricocheting CM Punk right in the chest with a vicious clothesline. Punk goes down on the mat and Rhodes rushes to a cover…

Punk kicks out!
Rhodes wastes no time staying on the offensive. He quickly gets off Punk before leaping in the air and dropping a knee across Punk’s throat. Punk grabs his throat in pain as Rhodes goes for another cover…

2…
Punk kicks out!
Rhodes quickly mounts Punk and starts throwing fists right into Punk’s face. Punk tries to cover up, but it’s to no avail, the fists are still getting through. After about the fourth of fifth punch to the face though, Punk is able to push Rhodes off him and to the side. Both men are able to get to their feet at the same time and Punk is the first to strike with an enziguiri out of nowhere. The kick obviously stuns Rhodes and allows Punk to put his head between his legs before wrapping Rhodes’ arms up and lifting Rhodes off the mat and slamming him head first onto the canvas with a modified Pepsi Plunge! The IWC fans in the arena mark out for Punk’s old finishing move as he goes for a cover on Rhodes…
1…
2…
Rhodes kicks out!
Punk has a smirk on his face, almost as if he’s enjoying going back to his Indy roots. He quickly gets off Rhodes, before lifting the US Champion off the mat and throwing him towards the nearest turnbuckle…
Cole: I wonder what Punk’s got in store for Rhodes now!
Punk uses his upper body strength to push Rhodes to the top turnbuckle and soon goes after him. Both men are on the top turnbuckle, as Punk moves very gingerly to make sure that he doesn’t fall. He throws a few fists and even a headbutt to Rhodes’ skull, before throwing Rhodes’ arm over his shoulder in an attempted superplex…
Booker T: This ain’t gonna be good for that boy Cody!
As Punk attempts the superplex, Rhodes is able to use his free arm to hold onto the top turnbuckle, blocking the move. Punk tries again, and Cody holds on for dear life. Rhodes realizes that playing defense isn’t going to get him out of this situation, so he takes the same hand he was using to hold onto the turnbuckle and uses it to throw a forearm right into CM Punk’s kidney. Rhodes then throws another right into the same spot, and this one causes Punk to double over and abandon the superplex. Rhodes is then able to maneuver on the turnbuckle, so that he is perched on the top. He then sunset flips over CM Punk, before reaching backwards and grabbing Punk’s legs, powerbombing him to the mat from the top rope…
Cole: A top rope powerbomb from Cody Rhodes!
The ring shakes upon impact as CM Punk’s body sprawls all over the canvas and Cody Rhodes goes for a cover…
1…
2…
Punk kicks out!
Rhodes is a little shocked that Punk kicked out of that high impact move. He goes right back on the offensive, lifting Punk off the mat, before picking him off his feet and dropping Punk throat first onto the top rope. As Punk struggles to breathe, Rhodes is able to roll him up from behind…
1…
2…
Punk kicks out!
Both men get to their feet at the same time, with Rhodes looking for a clothesline, only to have Punk duck under and reach backwards, grabbing Rhodes by the back of the head and bringing him down to the canvas with a reverse neckbreaker. Punk then goes over to Rhodes and quickly goes for a cover…
1…
2…
Rhodes kicks out!
As Rhodes lies on the mat, Punk heads over to the ring apron, before stepping through and climbing to the ropes to the top. Rhodes is still down on the mat as Punk reaches the pinnacle. So the Challenger throws his arms up in the air, before screaming “Best In The World!!†and jumping off, dropping a Macho Man-esque elbow right into Rhodes’ heart. Punk then promptly proceeds to hook Rhodes’ leg, looking for the United States Championship…
1…
Booker T: New Champ dawg!
2…

Cole: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to Raw. Now it's time for a special match, it's our main event. Christian vs Steve Austin.
Booker T: That's right dawg! Christian is undefeated and Steve Austin hasn't lost a match since May 1st. Who's streak is goin' end?
Roberts: The following match is the Main Event of the evening and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 220 pounds; Christian!
[video=youtube;ZpteHp-hb0A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpteHp-hb0A[/video]
The version of "Just Close Your Eyes" by Waterproof Blondes can be heard bellowing out of the arena's PA system, signalling the imminent arrival of Captain Charisma, Christian. Although many UWF fans are gearing themselves to sing along with the theme music - not due to their enjoyment of the arriving Christian, rather due to the fact they just enjoy the song - their hatred for Christian grows when it cuts to the New World Order's theme just five seconds in. About ten seconds after the commencement of the NWO theme music, Christian emerges from the back sporting a smirk on his face as he looks around at the booing audience. Christian only momentarily stands on the stage before choosing to make his way down the ramp towards the ring.
Fans can be seen hurling abuse at the charismatic man, but Christian doesn't acknowledge the jeers whatsoever, as he is focused on his objective. Christian reaches the bottom of the ramp, rounds the corner and walks up the steel steps, before approaching the ring ropes. Christian walks along the ring apron, wipes his feet and enters the ring, where he waits for his opponent.

Austin makes his way down the ramp quickly, eyeing the ring with a purpose, as he arrives at the steel steps and walks up them, then turning and walking along the apron before stepping through the ropes. Austin raises his championship over his head, inspiring more booing from the crowd, as he lowers it and throws it over his shoulder as he waits for the bell.
The bell rings and Christian and Austin lock up. Christian grabs the Champ by the arm, before spinning and going behind with a spinning wristlock. This puts pressure on Steve Austin’s arm and shoulder, but he refuses to let the hold stay on too long as he uses his free arm to thrown an elbow right into Christian’s face. This breaks Christian’s concentration and subsequently breaks the hold. Christian reacts how any person who gets elbowed in the face would; he immediately grabs his face, making sure nothing is broken. This momentary lapse of focus allows Austin to hit Christian with a stiff clothesline. Christian goes down and Austin quickly runs off the ropes and drops an elbow across Christian’s throat.
