Quick note to say that what you saw from me this week is not my best, obviously still getting used to the system.
Expect greatness.

Chris Dredson said:As fans are still pumped up from the Raw action they've seen thus far, and are just as jacked up with anticipation for the action to come, the camera pans backstage where none other than the UWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, is seen walking down one of the backstage hallways, the crowd changing their tone from one of pleased excitement to disgusted displeasure as the Rattlesnake appears on the screen. Their tone changes again as Austin is stopped by someone.
Michael Cole: It's Mr. McMahon!
Booker T: Oh my goodness!
Vince McMahon: Hold it right there, Austin, I need to talk to you. March 18th, that's when you officially turned on these fans. John Cena no-showed the build to your Wrestlemania match, and you decided that was the last straw. Since then, you've gotten increasingly more arrogant, disrespectful, and volatile. And last week, you put your hands on a non-wrestler. I've watched all I can watch and have heard all I can hear, Steve, so now there's three words you're going to hear.
Austin puts up his hand to cut Vince off, something that doesn't make Mr. McMahon very happy.
Stone Cold: You can't be serious, Vince. Do you really want to make that mistake? Do you really want to make that decision? This isn't Turbulence where creative has me tagging with a damn sperm, son, I'm the champion around here. Just like Dubya Dubya E, I'm the biggest star you've got. Merchandising sales? You can thank me for that. Ticket sales? That's all me too, Vince. Point to anything you get revenue from and it can be traced back ta' me. Ratings, pay-per-view buys, everything. They put money in your hand and pocket ta' see me, they put their asses in those seats ta' watch me wrestle and hear what I have ta' say, they buy food and drink at the concession stand because they think that's what I eat, and they use the bathrooms in this joint because of the hope that maybe, just maybe, they're pissing where I pissed or sitting on a seat that I sat on. If you wanna send all yer talent back to the unemployment line, be my guest, because if you fire me that's exactly where they're going, because without Stone Cold Steve Austin, there is no You Dubya Eff.
I make Raw watchable, and the interest that I created on Raw is what beget Smackdown, and the existence of Smackdown is why Starrcade had a larger card and you were given a Supershow five days later. That's the domino effect I create, Vince, and I love it, because it's not people making money off of me, it's people making money because of me. I hold this entire company's fate in my hands, and if you fire me I'll drop it, and it'll be gone forever. Stone Cold doesn't need you, you need him. Understand? Now that I've put it to ya that way, whaddya got ta' say now?
Vince goes to respond but Austin cuts him off again.
It's a rhetorical question. You're stupid, but yer not that stupid. As damn senile and indecisive as you're known for bein', even if you wanted to fire me and did, I'd be back on payroll before I could even throw this title at ya. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a promo ta' cut.
Austin brushes past Vince as the camera returns to the inside of the arena, watching the stage, when suddenly the titantron lights up.

"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.
Stone Cold: Ya know what, I don't feel like holdin' my microphone this week.
Austin turns his attention to the commentary table.
Cole, get yer ass over here.
Booker T: Aww, don't do it, Cole. That Rattlesnake can't be trusted!
Cole, not wanting to make Stone Cold angry and end up like Jerry Lawler, gets up and removes his headset, making his way to the ring and entering it. Austin slams his microphone to Michael's chest, telling him to hold it.
Now, for those of you that think I was standin' up for Smackdown just now, I pose the question just how fatally are you lacking in the mental department? For those of you that didn't hear me in the past, I don't give a damn about Smackdown, they never did a thing for Stone Cold except screw him over every chance they got and hold him down. Do you think it's a coincidence that after two years of no luck in the title department, as soon as I finally appear on Raw, it only takes me two months to win the championship? So not only did they criminally underutilize the biggest star in the business, but here's some more reasons why they suck, starting with last week's sorry excuse for a show. They encounter a few snowflakes, and half of their so-called talent are too scared to find the means to travel to the arena and do their damn job! As a result, they're Wild Douches, excuse me Wild Deuces, tournament gets all f****d up and they feed a watered down version of one of the most legendary tag teams of all time to the star of the straight to dee vee dee release of Brokeback Mountain 2 to Deacon Leviathan, or whatever his gimmick is.
And on commentary they've got a damn hasbeen like Roddy Piper pissing and moaning because his brand is being represented by a turtle with cannons stickin' out of his shell. Trust me son, Smackdown's got bigger problems than that, and Chris Dresden's one of the worst wrestling journalists You Dubya Eff coulda hired anyway, so you shouldn't be surprised that he someone makes a corrolation between a children's animated series and your shitty brand. But it couldn't stop there, could it, you had ta' hire another journalist that passes himself off as an inside guy, an effective thinker, as he dubs himself. As far as I'm concerned, unless it's getting cancelled, I don't give a leprechaun's stubby shillelaigh what's next for Smackdown. Another reason Smackdown sucks is who they've got at the helm, I figured after I beat yer ass in that Texas Deathmatch, we'd never have ta' see yer face again, Desmond. But since yer back, tell me why the hell yer Cuban on the radio but English any time a You Dubya Eff microphone or camera's put in front of ya. Too much McGuinness?
Let's not forget how desperate they are ta' make people care about the World Heavyweight Championship. Last month it was a two out of three falls garbage match, this month it's a clusterf**k. Dean Ambrose, Ted DiBiase who held it for like ten seconds, Meth Hardy, David the Bicep Tear, the tax collector's son, and the man that's yet ta' get it done on pay-per-view since rollin' in ta' this joint. That's a main event if I ever saw one! I mean yeah you've got the greatest commentator of all time at the booth, but not even he can make the show better, so I'm chalking him up as something that sucks about Smackdown too. As for this huge debut that everyone's been talking about, yer just tryna' polish a turd at this point, Wolfe. Even the See Oh Oh of this damn company said f**k it and took off.
Another reason Smackdown sucks, lastly and most importantly, is they don't have Stone Cold Steve Austin. Raw does, which is why it's watchable, and that's the only reason. And a lot of you smart mark fans would disagree what with the grand influx of new talent we've acquired, but my response to that is shove your opinion and, what talent? Eddie Guerrero was impressive back in You See Dubya, he was even impressive in See Dubya Eff when he ran around with Are Truth and Jesse Ventura calling themselves R.E.M.E.D.Y., and it takes a tough sumbitch ta' compete in the type of Empty Arena match he competed in, but this Eddie Guerrero? He's another Ken Anderson, from what I can tell, just another no-show artist.
"What about Bully Ray, Stone Cold, he's a badass." No, stupid fan, I'm a badass, don't you listen to my theme music? Bully Ray is a fatass, and if he's got any plans of tryna' swing the same kendo stick at me that he swung at Barrett, I'm gonna make him feel like he's back in the bingo hall. By the way, so long, Wade, you and Claudio. Scott Ian, I mean Christopher Daniels, his best shot of going anywhere in You Dubya Eff is by tryna' get the band back together with See Em Punk. The team of Evan Bourne and Justin Gabriel, Almost Famous? Well, ya got that right, "almost". Shark Boy? I extend the same invitation ta' you that I extended ta' Aries, anytime you wanna get yer ass kicked I'd be more than happy ta' do it, minus the title shot.
Ric Flair and Dolph Ziggler? Ziggler's never beaten me and Ric Flair's too damn old ta' try. But there is one I'm overlooking, isn't there? The prim and proper, suit rocking sumbitch that carries around a championship title that isn't even recognized in this company, the In Dubya Aye World Heavyweight Champion Robert Roode. I'd be careful mixing it up with Em Vee Pea, cuz if ya beat him ya might catch a case of the Andersons and quit showing up ta' work.
Like I said, what talent? It's just garbage being brought in where there's already trash ta' make a bigger pile of waste, where you can find the likes of Randy Orton and Christian, my opponents tonight. Boys, this is just the sampler, the full course is comin' at the pay-per-view, the night that I continue my reign and Aries puts Orton on the shelf. And then, Aries, you can have your rematch. But like I warned ya before, you better keep your fists flying at the In Dubya Oh until then, or I will make sure that rematch never comes.
Because I do what I want, I say what I want, and most importantly, I get what I want. No one is going to stand in the way of me being privileged any of those things, and when they try, well, you saw what happened to Lawler. But for the benefit of those who didn't...
Austin kicks Michael Cole in the gut and delivers a Stone Cold Stunner. As Michael goes down, the crowd actually boos as Austin grabs his championship and exits the ring, heading up the ramp to the back. This is where Raw heads to another commerical.
Cole: Welcome back to Raw. I'm Michael Cole, and unlike Jerry Lawler, I will be able to continue doing my job although I was brutally assualted because that's just the professionial I am.
Booker T: What a night we've had so far, and it's about to get better. Two men that are debuting this week will face each other in the ring. Who will have a debut dreamed of, and who will find their welcoming to this company fall short? We go ringside.
Roberts:The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from El Paso Texas, standing 5'8 weighing in at 228 pounds;Eddie Guerrero!
[video=youtube;YEoIoQpoq-Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEoIoQpoq-Q[/video]
Eddie emerges from the side of the entrance ramp in a classic low rider, a cheesy grin across his face as the crowd is loud throughout the arena. He stops at the end of the ramp, using the hydraulics to raise the suspension up and down, before exiting. He climbs the steel steps and enters the ring, climbing all four turnbuckles slapping his chest, as the chants of Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! rings out throughout the arena. He jumps down as his music fades away.
Roberts: And his Opponent!
[video=youtube_share;enaJ9A_gsBU]http://youtu.be/enaJ9A_gsBU[/video]
Roberts: Standing 6'0 weighing in at 224 pounds, from The City of Angels; Christopher Daniels!
As the Fallen Angel’s music plays throughout the arena, the crowd is instantly on their feet. Christopher Daniels was caught off guard by this. Given all he had done in TNA to some top faces, most people had given him much heat. But now he was nearly being praised. He felt slightly bad that he had to pop their bubble. As he made his way down to the ring, he made no attempt to interact with the crowd. Walking down he simply just stared ahead, more focused on his task at hand. He enters the ring, throwing off the cape of his hoodie, throwing both hands up as the crowd still for some reason cheers him. His music fades out as the ref calls for the bell, and this matchup is about to be under way.
Cole: Here we go. Eddie Guerrero versus Christopher Daniels, a great match up indeed
Both men take center stage as they lockup, testing and feeling each other out before breaking again. Eddie rushes in for a huge kick to the gut of Daniels, who is bent over in pain. He follows with a couple of clubbing blows to the back that temporarily down Daniels. He kicks the legs a couple times, before bringing Daniels back to his feet, who answers with a quick thumb to the eye of Guerrero. Daniels delivers a couple of stiff elbows, and follows with drop toe hold that brings Guerrero down, then with a elbow to the back. He turns Guerrero over and goes for a quick cover.
....................1
But Guerrero kicks out!
Booker T: A very technical and precise match so far.
Daniels stays on him with a arm lock, wrenching Guerrero's arm back, he rivets in pain. The fans are trying to get Eddie back in this match, who brings himself to one knee. He hits Daniels in the stomach, and follows with another that causes Daniel's to release the hold. Eddie with a quick missile drop kick that brings Daniels down and Eddie goes for the cover.
....................1
....................2
Daniels has the awareness to get his shoulder up as this match continues.
Eddie argues with the ref that it's a three count, but turns his attention back to Daniels, who is using the ropes to get feet bound
Eddie proceeds after Daniels, who swiftly spring boards off the ropes and hits Eddie with a spinning elbow. The crowd explodes for the move. Daniels follows with another middle rope moonsault that connects with the chest of Guerrero. He goes for the cover.
...................1
...................2
No Eddie kicks out again
Cole: Guerrero is a legend of this business, it'll take more to put him away
Daniels drags Eddie to his feet, and hits him with a couple swift elbows and bounces him off the ropes. Eddie returns and falls right into a sit down powerbomb.
Daniels glances to the turnbuckle, the fans already knows what's coming. He proceeds to the top rope, back turned to Eddie. He comes off the top rope looking for the BME but Guerrero rolls out just in time, Daniels eats nothing but mat.
Booker T: Vintage Eddie Guerrero! Playing possum and luring Daniel's into a dangerous situation.
Daniels holds his stomach in pain, as Guerrero enters the ring smirking. He delivers a couple of swift kicks to the already injured abdomen of Daniels, stalking like a predator. He drags him back to his feet and locks in the headlock. ONE SUPLEX. A SECOND SUPLEX.A THIRD SUPLEX. The Three Amigos!
Cole: Eddie is in prime shape, some more vintage Eddie Guerrero with the three amigos!
Eddie climbs the turnbuckle and balances himself on the top rope.
Booker T: Looks like Eddie may be looking to finish this one off early
Eddie connects with the frog splash, quickly covering for the pin.
.....................1
.....................2
NO! Somehow Daniels survives!
Cole: Pure determination from the Fallen Angel Book, he wants this.
Eddie begins to become frustrated as he again argues with the ref. Daniels with a school boy on Eddie trying to steal this one.
.....................1
.....................2
NO Eddie kicks out and is quickly to his feet, running right into a missile drop kick from Daniels.
Daniels is still feeling the effects of the frog splash in his abdomen, but he's still fighting as he delivers a couple of quick kicks to the gut of Guerrero, driving him into a turnbuckle. He climbs the turnbuckle himself, driving his fist into Eddie's head as the crowd chants along.
..................................1!
..................................2!
..................................3!
..................................4!
..................................5!
..................................6!
..................................7!
..................................8!
..................................9!
.................................10!
Eddie staggers forward, right into a scoop slam from Daniels. He's feeling it now, as he climbs the turnbuckle one more time. He steadys himself back to Guerrero, jumping twice and coming off the ropes with a BME that connects! He gets a arm over for the pin.
...................1
...................2
NO! Shoulder is up and the ref slaps his hands signifying that this match will continue.
Booker T: How did he quick out of that???
Daniel's brings his arms up in a X and brings them out, ready to end this match as Eddie is back to his feet. He turns around right into a kick to the gut from Daniel's who sets up and connects with The Angel's Wings. Eddie is laid out but Daniel's doesn't follow with a cover, but instead grabs Eddie by the hair, and slowly drags him up, staring him face to face. Daniels turns him facing outward from him and connects with a STO, Followed by the Koji Clutch! Eddie is fighting to breath as Daniels has the choke on tight, wrenching the air out of his lungs. Eddie is fading quick as he tries to inch and crawl to the ropes, just hoping to get a hold of them to break this choke. He's almost to the ropes, inching and clawing, but Daniel's quickly rolls him over with the move still intact leaving Eddie in the middle of the ring. Eddie finally has no choice but to tap.
Roberts: Here is your winner by submission, The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels!
Daniel rolls out of the ring and the referee follows suit. The ref lifts Daniels' arm in victory as The fallen Angel amkes his way up the ramp and Raw heads backstage again.
We move backstage and are immediately met with a shot of two popular legends of the wrestling business, standing backstage, having a chat and catching up. It's Edge and Trish Stratus, which causes the crowd to instantly burst into cheers at their sight, but the reaction quickly changes when the duo notice somebody step into the camera's view.
It's Christian, and judging by the look on his face he seems less than impressed to see either of them. Christian hardly even notices the beautiful Trish Stratus as his eyes are firmly fixed on his former tag team partner and best friend, Edge. The two have a brief but chequered UWF history, and Trish quickly senses the tension and acts.
Trish Stratus: Edge I'll, uh... I'll talk to you later.
Trish leaves the scene as Edge turns his body and faces Christian, meeting his gaze.
Edge: I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to visit a couple of friends and leave quietly. Is that okay with you?
Christian hasn't taken his eyes off Edge, when out of nowhere a smile creeps across his face.
Christian: That's fine by me, but I wasn't here to cause any trouble either. I was just walking by, getting ready for my match tonight, when I saw you talking to Trish and thought I'd come see how you're doing. That's just the guy I am, Edge, I like to check up on how my friends are, but that's something you're clearly NOT doing if not even your best friend knew you were coming tonight.
Edge: My... my best friend? Have you forgotten what you did to me? How about I give you a history lesson, huh Christian? Raw, June 5th, I lost to Randy Orton in the main event, but that wasn't enough for the New World Order, was it? I was exhausted, I was beaten, but you used me for your own sick gain! You, my so-called best friend, picked me up off the mat and threw me to the wolves, helping Cody Rhodes hit the Cross Rhodes on me just so you and Randy Orton could announce him as the newest member to your band of misfits. As far as I'm concerned, Christian, I don't know you and I don't want to know you, so we're done here.
Edge attempts to leave, but Christian grabs his arm and pulls him back.
Christian: Look, I just want to apologise. I just want to apologise to you... for forgetting all about that. I'm sorry, I've just been a little busy beating the likes of Wade Barrett, Antonio Cesaro and Chris Jericho for a second time, so I'm afraid that just completely slipped my mind... but if I've gotten over it, so can you. I mean I've moved on to bigger and better things, as I'm sure you've already heard? It's good news.
Edge: No, I haven't heard it. I haven't watched Raw since I left the company three weeks ago.
Christian: That's okay, I wanted to be the first person to tell you anyway. See as of last Tuesday night's Raw, where I pinned the UWF Champion Steve Austin, as per the stipulation Teddy Long added to the match at the start of the show, which, by the way, is the best decision he has ever made... I'm competing for the UWF Championship at The Great American Bash. How about that?
Christian smiles again and is very proud of his title shot.
Edge: Yeah... great... congratulations.
Edge attempts to leave once more, but Christian again grabs his arm and pulls him back, which irritates Edge.
Christian: You know I can read you like a book, Adam, and from what I can tell you didn't mean what you just said. Really think about this - I have finally been given what I deserve. I have asked and asked for one... more... World Championship match, something Teddy Long has denied me for so long, and now I finally have it. I finally have my shot at the UWF Championship, an opportunity that I'm not letting slip through my fingers. I will do anything to become UWF Champion, but I'll do it on my own terms. I don't need Randy or Cody to help me become champion...
Edge: Let me guess, you'll do it all by yourself, huh? Fine, you do that, but just know that nobody gives a crap. Nobody gives a crap if you win your match tonight, nobody gives a crap if you win your match next week, and nobody gives a crap about you becoming UWF Champion... if you even do.
Christian: Are you questioning my undefeated streak? Are you questioning my abilities, my talent...
Edge: Yeah, I am!
The former best friends are locked in a tense stare down. Edge's words clearly infuriated Christian, who begins to walk away. He throws his arms up in frustration.
Christian: Big mistake.
Christian continues to walk backwards away from Edge, not bothering to teach him a lesson there and then. Edge watches Christian's every step, ensuring he doesn't turn his back too early for a cheap shot. Eventually Christian turns around and walks out of sight as Edge turns back and shakes his head in disbelief. We're taken ringside.
Roberts: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds; The Rock!
If 'Ya Smell!!!
[video=youtube;Vt60tOOc5ws]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt60tOOc5ws[/video]
The electrifying music of The People's Champion begins to play and soon enough the man himself walks out from the back. As the people bare witness to the arrival of The People's Champion, they jump from their seats. Everyone starts chanting "Rocky" over and over as the most electrifying man in all of entertainment heads down the ramp and into The People's Ring. He heads to one turnbuckle, before climbing and throwing his arm into the air. Flashbulbs go off to catch this moment and Rock soon jumps down, before heading to another turnbuckle and repeating the process. He does this for the remaining tow before staying on the canvas and awaiting his opponent!
Roberts: And his opponent, from Hollywood, Florida, weighing in at 228 pounds; Dolph Ziggler!
[video=youtube;OhKamcyP9a0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhKamcyP9a0[/video]
I'm Here To Show The World....I'm Here To Show The World...Come On!!
"Here To Show The World" by Downstait starts playing and out walks Dolph Ziggler and Ric Flair. Ziggler is obviously ready to go, sporting his usual ring attire with his pink "Show Off" T-shirt wrapped around his waist. Ziggler makes his way down the ramp, flicking the wax out of his hair and onto the people who disgust him. Ziggler soon enters the ring where he hops to the top of one of the four turnbuckles and poses once more as Flair cheers him one from ringside. Ziggler jumps down and waits for the bell.
Rock and Ziggler meet in the middle of the ring as the bell rings. Ziggler strikes first, leaving his feet and hitting Rock in the jaw it a picture perfect dropkick. Rock goes to the canvas, but immediately gets to his feet, only to have Ziggler grab him by the air and perform a beautiful arm drag. As Ziggler takes Rock to the canvas by the arm, Dolph holds onto the arm and wraps his legs around it, applying a modified Cross-Armbreaker. Rock yells in pain as Ziggler applies more pressure to Rock’s arm…
Cole: Ziggler showing off his amateur background.
Booker T: At some point, my boy Rock goin’ turn it on.
Rock quickly uses his feet to drag himself to the near ropes and wraps them around it, forcing Ziggler to break the hold. Ziggler doesn’t comply and the referee starts his five count…
1…
2…
3…
4…
Ziggler breaks the hold right before five!
Ziggler gets to his feet right after he breaks the hold. Rock uses the ropes to get to his feet and Ziggler goes back on the attack. As Rock greats to his feet, Ziggler grabs his arm and leaves his feet, before driving both knees right into Rock’s already injured arm. Rock grabs his arm in pain as Ziggler goes for a cover…
1…
2…
Rock kicks out!
Ziggler gets back to his feet and rests on the far ropes. He patiently waits for Rock to get to his feet. Ric Flair screams at him to stay on him. Rock does get up, and Ziggler charges right at him. As Ziggler comes in, Rock lowers his shoulder and lifts Ziggler off the mat before driving him back onto the canvas with a Samoan Drop. All the air leaves Ziggler’s body as Rock reaches back, grabbing Ziggler by the leg and going for a cover…
1…
2…
Ziggler kicks out!
Rock gets to his feet and tries to get some feeling back in his arm. Ziggler has crawled over to the corner and has gotten to his feet. Rock meets him in the corner with rapid fire punches to the face. Rock meets Ziggler with one right hand to the face, then a second one, then a third one. Then for good measure, Rock reaches back and spits on his hand before striking Ziggler one more time…
Cole: The Rock looks ready to electrify!
Booker T: He’s goin’ to put a whoopin’ on that Zig Zag man!
Rock then proceeds to grab Ziggler by the arm and Irish Whip towards the opposing turnbuckle. Ziggler reverses the whip and Rock is the one to ends up in the corner. Ziggler then takes a step back before running at Rock and hitting a Stinger Splash in the corner. Rock stumbles out of the corner and Ziggler is allowed to run of the far ropes behind Rock and takes him down with a running bulldog. Rock goes down and Ziggler goes for another cover…
1…
2…
Rock kicks out!
Ziggler gets to his feet before running off the far ropes and dropping an elbow across Rock’s throat. As Rock grabs his throat in pain, Ziggler hits the canvas and starts doing sit-ups in the middle of the ring…
Booker T: What’s this boy doin’?
Cole: He’s showing off Booker! That’s what he does!
After “showing offâ€, Ziggler gets back his feet and heads over to the ring apron and heads to the top turnbuckle. Rock gets to his feet and sees Ziggler perched on the top rope, and he quickly makes his way over there. Almost in homage to his manager Ric Flair, Dolph gets taken off the top rope by Rock and down to the canvas…
Cole: That never worked for Flair in his day and it didn’t work for Ziggler!
Ziggler gets to his feet and Rock charges in, taking Ziggler down with a clothesline. Ziggler hits the canvas hard before getting up; only to have Rock hit him with another clothesline. Ziggler goes down but gets up again, only to have Rock grab him by the leg and perform a swift dragon screw. Ziggler grabs his leg in pain, but Rock does not let go. Instead he separates Ziggler’s legs and steps through, intertwining and stepping through, applying the Sharpshooter…
Booker T: That boy goin’ tap out!
Ziggler knows what’s coming and gets to the ropes almost immediately. The Rock refuses to break the hold though, so the referee has no choice but to count him out…
1…
2…
3…
4…
Rock reluctantly breaks the hold!
Rock gets to his feet, a little disappointment etched on his face. He wipes it away though and turns back towards Ziggler and begins stalking him. Rock has his hands resting on his knees and the live audience gets to their feet, knowing what Dolph Ziggler is in store for.
Cole: This can’t be good for Ziggler!
Booker T: What the hell!!
As Rock is ready to pounce, Ric Flair jumps on the ring apron, trying to get The Great One’s attention. It works and Rock turns around and drops Flair off the apron with a right hand. As Flair falls to the mat, The Rock talks trash to him. But sadly for Rocky, he left his back to Ziggler. And Dolph takes advantage. Dolph comes out of nowhere, leaping in the air, grabbing Rock by the head and taking him down to the canvas with a leaping STO…
Cole: Zig Zag!!
Ziggler hits his finishing move and the ring shakes. Ziggler quickly drags Rock away from the ropes and goes for the win…
1…
Booker T: ‘Ya can’t count to a hundred!
2…
3...NO! Rock kicks out!
Cole: What?!
Ziggler can’t believe it! He gets to his feet and looks down at The Rock. Rock is lying motionless in the middle of the ring. Ziggler has to think of what to do next. He comes up with an idea. He heads to Rock’s head and looks down on him. Ziggler makes sure Rock is out and lines him up. Ziggler throws both arms around wildly, obviously moving The Rock…
Cole: The ultimate sign of disrespect!
Ziggler runs off the far ropes before coming back and leaping over Rock. Ziggler then keeps running off the near ropes, but unfortunately for him, Rock nips up off the canvas as Ziggler is coming off the ropes and Rock is able to catch him. Rock wraps his arm around Ziggler’s neck, before lifting him off the mat and slamming him off the canvas with a Rock Bottom!
Cole: Rock Bottom!
Rock breathes a sigh of relief as he goes for a cover…
1…
2…
3…
Roberts: Here is your winner; The Rock!
The Rock gets to his feet and has his hand raised by the referee. Rock then climbs to the top rope and performs his trademark pose for the fans before leaving the ring and heading up the ramp. As Rock disappears, Raw goes to another commerical.

[/SIZE]The time has come. This week Austin Aries gets air time to grab a mic and let his thoughts come out of his head. Everybody knows what is about to happen so it's not a big shock when lights in the arena sudddenly go off and Lights Out by Hollywood Undead blasts through the arena speakers as people in the arena go bananas!
[video=youtube;GPq63m2pv0I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPq63m2pv0I[/video]
Austin Aries' theme song continues to play. After a while, Austin Aries walks through the curtain and doesn't seem to be very happy. Aries already has a microphone in his hand. He raises it to his mouth and speaks.
Austin Aries:Cut the music!
Aries continues to walk down the ramp as his theme song stops playing.
Tonight, it's not about me having good time with you people. Tonight is not about me running through the curtain with a smile on my face. Tonight is not about me slinding into the ring in a 3,000 Dollar suit. Oh, no, no, no. Although tonight is about me. Tonight is all about me showing everybody what I am made off. Tonight is all about Austin Aries once again proving that he belongs to this company and not only that. Tonight is all about Austin Aries proving that he is on his way where he belongs and where he was taken down from, that he belongs to the top. As I said numerous times, it's all about Austin Aries finally getting Main Event spot and about Austin Aries getting a shot at the nWo.
Austin Aries is already in the ring.
I heard that some new talent came to UWF and they are all about to make their debut. But god, oh god. Honestly, who gives a shit? Sure, it's always great to see UWF rise but it doesn't rise when new superstars come in, it rises when men like me finally get their chance to take this company to another level. I'm taking UWF to the A Double level. I'm feeling like a freakin' parrot but I have to say this again. Tonight is not about the new talent and wether you guys like it or not, it's the truth. You guys didn't really pick a good time to have your debuts, now did you? All these people came here to see top notch talent, they came here to see Austin Aries finally get a piece of the cake and Austin Aries is taking his piece with a cherry on the top of it.
Austin Aries is being disrespectfull but it seems like people enjoy seeing Aries being little cocky.
Last week I did exactly what I said I was going to do. I've beaten Antonio Cesaro, the former UWF European Champion. He got his lesson. When he lost his European Title to The Miz he cost RAW the European Championship. RAW is the brand where Austin Aries debuted, the brand where Austin Aries is having the time of his life, the brand where he won the UWF Champion and the brand he will forever defend. You mess with RAW, you mess with Austin Aries and there's one thing that is sure...you don't want to mess with Austin Aries. Now to my point...Last week I didn't win my match the fair way. There was a lot posting all around the internet that I "turned heel again". Oh no, last week wasn't about me turning heel. Last week was about me showing the nWo that I will do what ever it takes to save RAW from this little mockery of a stable. The nWo, The Now World Order. When I say these words, legends like Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Randy Savage and many, many more pop off in my mind. That is the original and the only nWo. This little mockery of it that "took over" UWF is certainly no nWo. It doesn't matter because sooner or later, the nWo will be history.
Aries is still looking angry as he looks straight to the camera and continues.
I know that there Christian and Randy Orton are not intimidated by my words. They are in their locker room, watching me talking, maybe laughing but where I come from we say: "Who laughs last, laughs the best." This iis exactly who it's gonna go down tonight. My music hits, I come down to the ring, nWo comes down, Stone Cold comes down...I will whoop Orton's ass, no matter what Austin wants to do or how he feels about this nWo/Aries thing. We might not be friends. In fact, we hate each other but this match is important to me and I won't let Austin screw me.
One more thing. Steve, I know you are looking at this, opening another beer so I want you to listen. Tonight, it's straight business and nothing else but I want to let you know that after I take care of Orton, I'm gunning to get the UWF Title back.
!!!LIGHTS OU.....
Aries stops at the middle of a sentence.
As a matter of fact I have one more thing to say. Actually, I demand that one thing. At The Great American Bash I will be going one on one with Orton as you all know. I know I can beat him take him out but that doesn't change the fact that the nWo still has two more members. Now what I'm offering you, Orton and Teddy Long doesn't know about this. I contaced people "up there", demanding a special stipulation to our match at The Great American Bash. I told them that when I win at The Great American Bash, I want them to dissolve the nWo. However, they said it's not enough. They said that I have nothing to lose in this match and that's not an attractive stipulation for the UWF Universe. So, the stipulation is...If I win, they dissolve the nWo. But if lose....my UWF career is over. I'm not scared of losing so I agreed. Therefor, at The Great American Bash I will put out the nWo for good. I will put their LIGHTS OUT!
Lights in the arena go off and when they once again light up, Aries is not in the ring anymore. We head backstage for another promo
]The action in the ring has been explosive so far as Raw is living up to the hype as the camera's suddenly switch to the backstage area, showing a close up of an Todd Grisham.
Grisham: Ladies and Gentleman, I am sorry to take you away from the action in the ring but right now, I have been given the job to interview a very special man, this is a man that has caused quite a bit of a media frenzy for UWF ever since he signed a contract bringing him to Raw, this is a man that has been hitting the headlines and making a name for himself, getting into the action right away when he walked through the door, he is a man that is currently holding, he has a match later on in the night but right now, we will be interviewing him, ladies and gentlemen please welcome my guest at this time, Ro....
???: Do not even think about finishing that name.
Todd Grisham is interupted by a familar voice, by the look on Grishams face, it wasn't the guest he had in mind as suddenly the camera pans out to show the face of the person who cut Todd off. The face and voice belongs to the Highest Paid Superstar, Montel Vontavious Porter, showing him slowly walking towards Todd, showing off his 305 bling and wearing some casual clothes. MVP walks up to Todd, grabbing his arm and dragging the microphone to his mouth.
MVP: Let me guess homie, you were giving time to interview the man that I put down like a dog last week, you were giving time to see what Robert Roode thought about my little attack last week, weren't you Todd but you see, just like last week when Roode was askin for Cody Rhodes, I decide to show up and give you the better option of person but Todd, unfortunatly for you, I'm not going to let you speak, I won't let you interupt me and ask me stupid questions about why I did it or am I afraid of what might be the backlash of it, no no, you are going to stand there and hold the mic while I entertain and say what is on my mind, do you fully understand this?
Todd doesn't dare say anything as he just nods, looking a bit afraid of MVP as MVP seems to cool down abit. Todd holds the mic to MVP's mouth as he now looks towards the camera and starts to speak again.
Now, lets not beat around the bush here and let's get straight to it, Roode, if you happen to be watching this somewhere inside your lockerroom, something I find strange as you are suppose to be right where I am standing now, you turn the volume up and you listen closely to the real MVP of this company. When I heard about a special someone making their return to UWF at Starrcade, I dismissed it straight away and didn't even care about it, then when you appeared at Starrcade, I still didn't give a crap about you, I only started to really give a damn about you Roode when all the spotlight was on you, you had everyone talking and everyone wanted to see you, what is it because you brought some fake title with you? Do you see me wearing any of my Japanese Titles I won? Maybe it's because you came straight in here, giving it the bigen and straight away getting in the face of a NWO Member in Cody Rhodes, it realy doesn't matter to me why people seem to be interested in you but you are getting my attention. You are taking my spotlight and I don't take kindly to people that seem to think that this is alright. You see Roode, I have no idea who you think you are, well in fact, I actually had no idea who you were to begin with and only found out because I found some extra time on my hands to look you up on the World Wide Web and I got some information on you. The information I found didn't impress me at all, it showed that I made the right move last week when I attacked you because you are a no body, you are a worthless piece of garbage that doesn't deserve anything that is being handed to you but Teddy Long employed me for a reason, he employed me to make UWF a better place, he employed me to be the Problem Solver if you will and even if he is too blind to see, I have identified you as a problem and it won't be long until I solve it.
MVP has a sly grin on his face as Todd hasn't dared to move. MVP now looks towards Todd and nods his head before looking back towards the camera.
I'll let you know this Roode, I will be watching your match tonight, I will be looking to see what all the fuse is about, I'm sure i'll be proved correct and if I was you, I'd be on the look out because I have nothing on tonight, I have a free night, who is to say I won't get bored later on and want a bit more of you. I'll leave you with that thought as it's time for me to bounce and hit the road as my time is too precise these days, so for now, all i'm gonna do is Holla to DA World.
MVP does his signature Ballin taunt as he pushes the mic back towards Todd. Todd looks in shock as MVP just turns around and walks out of shot as the cameras fade out and go back towards the ring.
Cole: Ladies and Gentlemen, now it's time to find out who will challenge Cody Rhodes for the United States Championship at The Great American Bash.
Whoa Oh
Cole: Okay, that's the music of the United States Champion, but he's not booked to compete tonight!
[video=youtube;Giwckon0Qhw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giwckon0Qhw[/video]
*Cody Rhodes theme hits the arena and the crowd immediately boo, thinking they weren’t going to see Cody Rhodes tonight and now realizing that may never be the case. Cody Rhodes emerges on stage with the United States around his waist, walking down the ramp straight away. He heads around the ring and right to the commentary table, before putting on a headset. Apparently he's doing commentary for this match.*
Roberts: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is to determine the Number One Contender to the United Steates Championship. Introducing first, 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.
Roberts: And his opponent, from Fairfield, Connecticuit, weighing in at 305 pounds, he is the NEW UWF Hardcore Champion; "The Blueprint" Matt Morgan!
[video=youtube;RUsAUsEX-N4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUsAUsEX-N4[/video]
"Click, Click, Boom" begins playing and out walks Matt Morgan from the back. Morgan looks out into the sea of people, who all cheer him. Morgan hops in place on the ramp, before throwing his arms back as his pyro goes off. He then heads down the ramp, towards the ring, with people trying to get hold of the blueprint. He then enters the ring and poses once more before his match starts
As the bell rings, Morgan comes right at Punk. Morgan looks for a short arm clothesline, but Punk ducks under and grabs Morgan by the back of his head before dropping to the mat with a reverse neckbreaker. Punk quickly jumps on Morgan and goes for a cover…

Morgan kicks out!
Punk backs up off Morgan as “The Blueprint†gets to his feet. Punk charges right at the Hardcore Champion, but Morgan sees him coming. Morgan lowers his shoulder, sending Punk flying over the top rope and onto the ring apron. Punk lands on his feet on the apron, unbeknownst to Morgan who has made his way back to the center of the ring. Morgan has his back to Punk, but soon turns around to see Punk use the ropes as a springboard to catapult towards Morgan, looking for a Crossbody…
Cole: CM Punk is flying in the early goings of this match. You want to be cautious of this strategy Cody.
Rhodes: CM Punk is nothing. I destroyed his confidence last week, and if he really wants to, I’ll do it again.
As Punk soars, Morgan is able to catch him. Morgan holds Punk in a horizontal position in the middle of the ring, before throwing Punk backwards with a Fallaway Slam. Punk’s body crashes hard on the mat and Morgan crawls over towards him and goes for a cover…

Punk kicks out!
Morgan gets to his feet, before grabbing CM Punk by the arm and dragging him to the nearest corner. Morgan places Punk in the corner, with Punk’s head resting on the bottom turnbuckle pad. Morgan creates some distance between himself and Punk before charging back in and bringing his boot right into Punk’s face. Punk’s body goes limp and Morgan quickly drags him out of the corner and goes for another cover…
1…
2…
Punk kicks out!
Cole: You also have to be weary of Matt Morgan Cody. He is very capable of being the first person in UWF history to hold two Championships simultaneously.
Rhodes: Cole you don’t understand. I am the greatest United States Champion of all time. I am the voice of UWF. I will never lose this title. Matt Morgan is the least of my worries.
Morgan gets off Punk and looks to stay in control. He lifts Punk off the mat before throwing him towards the near corner. Punk’s back hits the corner hard, but there’s no time for him to recover as Morgan immediately charges at him with an Avalanche Splash. The large mass of Matt Morgan drives all the air out of CM Punk and a dazed Punk stumbles out of the corner and right into Morgan’s arms who, in turn lifts Punk off the mat before bringing him down onto his knee with a backbreaker. Punk cries in pain as Morgan goes for a cover…

Punk kicks out!
Morgan gets back to his feet and turns his attention towards Cody Rhodes. He lets Rhodes know that this will be him at the Great American Bash…
Rhodes: Maybe the behemoth should focus on his opponent as opposed to worrying about my Championship.
Morgan turns back to Punk. He then throws one arm in the air, signaling for the Chokeslam. A hurting Punk gets to his feet and turns right into the massive grip of Matt Morgan. Morgan has a tight strangle hold on Punk’s neck and quickly lifts him off his feet…
Cole: Chokeslam!
But as Morgan prepares to slam Punk, the Second City Saint is able to grab Morgan by the skull and counter the Chokeslam with a sickening spike DDT. Morgan’s head bounces hard off the mat and he goes down hard. Punk takes this opportunity to rush for a cover…
1…
Cole: Morgan may be out!
2…
Morgan rolls a shoulder!
Rhodes: Once again, Punk fails to get the job done.
Punk rolls off Morgan and gets to his feet. Punk looks over to Rhodes and lets him know that he is also coming for him. Cody responds by stroking his United States Championship that rests on the announce table. By this time, Morgan has pulled himself up in the corner opposite of Punk. Punk sees this and charges right at Morgan, driving his knee right into Morgan’s face. Morgan’s head snaps back, but Punk grabs it and cups up before running out the corner and dropping Morgan with a running bulldog. As Morgan hits the mat, Punk rolls him over and goes for a cover…

Morgan kicks out!
Punk rolls on the mat under the ropes and onto the ring apron. He waits patiently for Morgan to get to his feet and looks back to Rhodes, who is intently watching. Morgan starts to pull himself up and Punk turns back to the matter at him. Punk uses the rope to springboard back into the ring and takes Morgan down with a flying clothesline. Just as soon as Morgan gets up, he goes back down. Punk gets up and quickly heads back to the ring apron, but this time he heads to the top rope. He quickly reaches the summit, before throwing his arms up in the air and screaming “Best In The World†before leaping off and dropping the trademark Macho Man elbow right into Morgan’s heart. As soon as Punk hits, he grabs Morgan’s leg and covers him…
1…
2…
Morgan kicks out!
Cole: Punk’s bringing out the aerial maneuvers. How can you prepare for someone who is so diverse?
Rhodes: Despite CM Punk’s claims, I am the Best In The World. I prove that on a nightly basis.
CM Punk gets to his feet, putting his palms together and to his head, letting everyone know that it’s nap time. Morgan is coming to and Punk is ready to pounce. As Morgan starts pulling himself up, Punk quickly jumps on him, spinning him around and lifting him onto his shoulders…
Cole: Go To Sleep!! You felt this last week Cody!
Rhodes: And Punk couldn’t beat me with it!
Morgan counters the Go To Sleep by elbowing Punk in the side of the head. The tree trunk like limbs of Matt Morgan cause CM Punk to drop him and Morgan spins Punk around before grabbing him by the throat and lifting him off the mat before slamming him down with a ring shaking Chokeslam...
Cole: Chokeslam!
As soon as Punk hits the mat, Morgan drops to a knee and covers him, going for the win…
1…
2…
Punk kicks out!
Morgan gets back to his feet, and starts pounding away at his chest. He knows the end is near. He knows Punk is done. Morgan starts pounding his chest faster and faster as Punk starts getting up, with help from the ropes…
Cole: This won’t be good for Punk!
As Punk gets to his feet with help from the ropes, Morgan comes at him with the running big boot known as The Carbon Footprint. But before the boot can connect, Punk ducks under it and goes behind Morgan. Punk quickly spins the unaware Morgan around and lifts him onto his shoulders, before throwing him off and dropping his face across his knee…
Cole: Go To Sleep!
Punk hits the Go To Sleep and Morgan goes limp. Instead of going for the cover, Punk jumps right back on Morgan. He grabs Morgan by the head, before wrapping Morgan’s own arm around his neck and choking him out with it…
Cole: Anaconda Vice!
Punk’s got the vice locked in and he positions his body so that he is staring straight at Cody Rhodes. Morgan is out of it after the Go To Sleep, and the referee realizes it and calls for the bell…
Roberts: Here is your winner via referee stoppage; CM Punk!!
Rhodes: Excuse me gentlemen.
As Punk’s music starts playing again, the referee raises his hand. CM Punk celebrates as he knows he’s going to the Great American Bash. Punk’s joy doesn’t last long though as Cody Rhodes soon enters the ring. CM Punk and Cody Rhodes stand nose to nose in the ring. Cody holds his United States Championship in CM Punk’s face and tells Punk that “this is the closest that he will get to his titleâ€. Punk responds by laughing and feigning leaving the ring, before changing his mind and lifting Rhodes off the mat and onto his shoulders…
Cole: Hey! Hey! This is uncalled for!
CM Punk then throws Rhodes off his shoulders and onto his knee, hitting the United States Champion with the Go To Sleep! As Cody’s body goes limp, Punk spots the United States Championship on the mat and picks it up, posing with it.
Booker T: We may see this at The Bash dawg.
Punk takes the title and leaves the ring before heading up the ramp. Punk reaches the top of the ramp and poses with the title one more time before leaving it on the top of the ramp and heading to the back. Raw then heads to another commerical

Roode stands tall in the center of the ring as the fans cheer him on.
Cole: Robert Roode was successful in his debut. How knows what the future holds for him?
As Roode prepares to leave the ring, the cheers soon turn to boos. And this is because out of nowhere, MVP leaps over the guard rail and enters the ring behind Roode. He prepares to go on the offensive, but what MVP does not know is that Roode sees him on the titantron. Roode has a huge smile plastered on his face. Roode continues to act as if he’s going to leave, before quickly spinning around and Spearing MVP out of his boots!
Booker T: He just took that boy down!
Roode gets to his feet, talking trash to MVP the whole time. He picks up his NWA Championship title and shoves it right into MVP’s face. Roode screams at MVP that he is the true best. Roode then motions for the timekeeper to hand him a microphone…
Robert Roode: Just who in the hell do you think you are? Well let me tell you who I am Montel. I am the NWA World Heavyweight Champion! Do you know what that means? That means I'm better than you! I'm better than Austin! I'm better than Ambrose, and I'm without a shadow of a doubt, I'm better than Cody Rhodes! And MVP, I'm going to show you how good I am. At The Great American Bash, you will find out that it Pays to Be Roode!
Roode then throws the mic down and leaves the ring. He heads up the ramp and shows off his Championship before heading to the back. Raw then heads to another commercial.

Rise and Fall of WCW. If you're a wrestling fan, which all of us are, I recommend you pick it up.
--------------------
Cole: Welcome back to Raw everyone. It's now time for our main event. The New World will take on the unusual team of Steve Austin and Austin Aries.
Booker T: And 'ya got to ask yourself playa, how in the hell are Austin and Aries goin' get along.
Roberts: The following is your main event of the evening, a tag team match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, representing the N.W.O, at a combined weight of 466 pounds; Randy Orton and Christian!
[video=youtube_share;lNKcXtCTbbQ]http://youtu.be/lNKcXtCTbbQ[/video]
The crowd explodes as Randy Orton passes through the curtains and onto the main stage. He's wearing his usual smirk, but donning some new ring gear. Across his chest is no longer his corporate t-shirts sold on websites or in the arenas, but a black one bearing just three letters, N..W..O. He makes his way down to ringside, as Batista looks on. The fans reach out for Orton but he continues up the steel steps and into the ring. He climbs a turnbuckle and poses as the fans cheer. He jumps down and waits for the match to start.
Justin Roberts: And their opponents, 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.

"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.
Justin Roberts: And his partner, From Victoria, Texas. Weighing in at 252 pounds. He is the UWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Ausssstiiiiiinnnnnn!
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 decides that he will start against Austin Aries. The two lock up and Christian catches Aries off guard with a quick snap suplex. Aries’ back hits the canvas hard as Christian gets off him before running of the near ropes and dropping a knee across Aries’ throat.

Randy Orton enters the ring and drives his boot right into Aries’ face, breaking the pin.
The referee scolds Orton, telling him to leave the ring. Orton chooses to comply, but not before he drags Christian over towards the NWO corner. Christian is still a little shaken, so making the tag isn’t as easy as some thought it would be. Christian tries to shake the cobwebs out and reaches his arm out, bringing Randy Orton back into the fray. But while all of this has occurred, Austin Aries has had the time to make it over to his corner and tag in the UWF Champion. Both Orton and Austin enter the ring at the same time. Orton looks to strike first, charging at Austin with a clothesline, but Austin ducks under and Orton keeps running. Orton bounces off the ropes and comes back at Austin, who is ready for him.

Orton kicks out!
Austin gets off Orton and heads over towards his corner. He tags in Austin Aries and the two share an uneasy glance before Austin leaves the ring.
Booker T: Let’s not forget that Steve Austin and Austin Aries have unfinished business.
Aries looks to capitalize on the fallen Orton. He looks to lift Orton off the mat, but as he picks Orton up, Randy strikes with a swift short arm clothesline. Aries goes down, but gets back to his feet in time to eat another one from Orton. Aries quickly shakes the cobwebs off and gets to his feet again, this time swinging at Orton. Orton ducks and Aries’ momentum takes him to the far ropes, where Christian meets him with a knee to the kidneys. This slows Aries down and allows Orton to come to him and take him to the mat with a swift powerslam. Orton gets to his feet and watches as Aries crawls towards the ring apron. Aries rests on the outside and Orton picks him up and places his head between the middle rope. Aries is now hanging on the rope, half of his body in the ring and the other half on the apron…
Cole: We’ve seen this from Orton throughout his career!

Aries starts moving, albeit very gingerly. Aries pulls himself up and Orton spins him around, leaping in the air, grabbing Aries by the head…
Booker T: Here comes that RKO dawg!
As Orton looks for the RKO, Aries pushes him in the back. Orton’s momentum sends him to the ropes, where Christian slaps him on the back, performing a blind tag. Orton grabs a hold of the ropes and stops before coming back towards Aries. This doesn’t stop the former Undisputed Champion. He goes right after Orton. He grabs Orton by the arm and whips him one more time. Orton this time, reverses the whip and Aries and Austin collide, knocking Austin off the ring apron. This catches Aries’ attention, and he turns around to check on his fallen partner. This was just the opening Orton needed though. The split second distraction allows Orton to spin Aries around, grabbing him by the head and slamming it on the mat with an RKO!
Cole: RKO! It’s over!
As soon as Orton hits the RKO, Christian climbs the top rope and quickly leaps off, landing on top of Aries with a Frog Splash. Christian quickly hooks the leg as he’s the legal man…

Great show CWalker. Nice to see so many feuds coming together. Every match was well written and you'd better believe Ambrose will have something to say to Cody, Austin and even Rhoode for the mere mention of his name. The Chris Jericho retirement announcement has piqued my interest and I feel the way Anikng has been these past couple of weeks, we may see a new UWF Champion. Sorry Dres.
