Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is your main event of the evening. It is a Wild Deuces Tournament match...
[video=youtube;t0fXXBeeKBY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0fXXBeeKBY[/video]
The crowd turn their reaction around booing towards the stage they were just cheering to moments ago, from behind the curtain Damien Sandow appears with Daniel Bryan right next to him, both men look at one another and nod as Sandow raises a finger conducting the music playing while Bryan lifts his hands up shouting out “Yes!â€
Lillian Garcia: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 453 pounds, the team of Daniel Bryan and Damien Sandow.
They both look to take a step forward but Sandow lifts a hand up to pause, he reaches into his robe and pulls out a microphone holding it in his hand as if it were a wine glass raising it to his mouth.
Damien Sandow:
Allow…us to beg your indulgence for one moment, My name is Damien Sandow and my colleague is one Daniel Bryan and we are here to help all of you.
The crowd disapproves as both men begin to slowly make their way down the ramp.
Damien Sandow: Last we saw your intellectual savior and my collaborator for this evening, was on a show entitled Heatwave, a show in which two great tragedies occurred in a single bout. For in our previous bouts Mr. Bryan and I defeated our aged and addled competition soundly, however once we entered the “rumble†we were both unfairly and unjustly eliminated. I sought to impart my wisdom to the unwashed masses; however those in the ring decided to collectively accost my person and jointly eliminate me. While Mr. Bryan was distracted unjustifiably by our miscreant of a general manager, However on this week’s serial we shall be rectifying said bout by defeating the antediluvian Sting and the past his usefulness Mr. Joseph this very evening. I shall be overlooking the fact that both are unworthy competitors, so as to prove to them and to those watching that their eliminations only came because of circumstance not because of superiority. Mr. Bryan Your thoughts?
Sandow hands the microphone over to Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan: My colleague Mr. Sandow couldn't be more correct in his observations. I mean, last week during the rumble, for all intents and purposes it should have been down to Damien and I as the final two but, no. The powers that be on SmackDown decided that our star power is just too much for them to comprehend and that our popularity threatens the very rocky foundation that this show is built on. Damien was wronged, I was wronged and now we are put in this match with our backs seemingly against the wall, or at least that's what our hack of a general manager Nigel thinks but I've got news for him and each and every one of you who think that Sting and Samoa Joe have any kind of fighting chance against athletes of our caliber. You know, a lot of people wouldn't think that Mr. Sandow and I could be allies, friends even, let alone be on the same page but we're a lot alike. Neither of us rots our brains with the mindless dribble that comes on your television screens. We are simply born better than the rest of you.
Bryan hands the microphone back to Sandow before he jumps up on the ring apron staying there, Sandow walks up the steel steps as he lifts the microphone up.
Damien Sandow: That Said we feel it necessary to clear some things up with all of you ignoramuses, therefore it is time for question and answer time with Daniel Bryan and Damien Sandow.
Sandow walks across the ring standing next to Bryan on the ring apron as he clears his throat.
Damien Sandow: Will Damien Sandow and Daniel Bryan be freeing the unwashed masses from the chains of ignorance?
Sandow tilts the microphone over to Daniel Bryan so he can speak into it.
Daniel Bryan: Yes!
Damien Sandow: Are we the single most intellectually gifted and talented tag team these… “People†have ever had the honor of witnessing?
Sandow once again tilts the mic to Daniel Bryan
Daniel Bryan: Yes!
Damien Sandow: Lastly, will Daniel Bryan and Damien Sandow be defeating not only the two miscreants in the ring this evening but anyone and everyone else who dare oppose us in our common goal?
Daniel Bryan: YES! YES! YES!
Sandow gets a grin on his face but right as he’s about to drop the mic he stops and lifts it up once more
Damien Sandow: And as always my intellectually deprived masses, we do this not for ourselves...as always we do this for each and every one of you, You’re Welcome.
Sandow drops the microphone as he takes his coat off and hangs the towel around his neck on the turnbuckle, both him and Bryan step into the ring and look at one another. Sandow motions to give Bryan the floor, but Bryan does the same, Sandow says off mic “I insist†as the referee tells them to hurry it up.
JR: I tell you Hot Rod every time I hear this guy talk it feels like nails on a chalkboard.
Piper: Its because he's a jackass JR. You're Welcome!
[video=youtube;QCOxBrddH8k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOxBrddH8k[/video]
The music of Samoa Joe begins to play in the arena and the crowd goes wild. The crowd is impatiently waiting for Cornette, Joe, or even the Stinger to come out but no one does. Sandow and Bryan act all innocent in the ring by shrugging their shoulders. After a few more moments Joe's music stops.
JR: Now what the hell is the meaning of this?
Piper: Where's that loud mouth Cornette at? He makes my mouth sound PG JR.
The camera's pan to the back of the arena where a shot is shown of Samoa Joe laid out on the floor. Cornette is with him trying to resurrect his fallen client. The crowd suddenly pop as out of nowhere the Icon Sting arrives and looks dismayed by what he sees.
Sting: Jimmy what the hell happened?
Cornette: Hell if I know Stinger, but I bet you can ask those F***ers in the ring.
Sting: I'm going to go do that Jimmy. See what you can do for Joe.
There is a silent hush in the arena now as Sandow and Bryan look smug in the ring still feigning innocence. Suddenly...
When a man's heart is full of deceit
it burns up, dies, and a dark shadow
falls over his soul.
From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse,
a wrong that must be righted.
We look to the skies for a vindicator,
someone to strike fear into the black heart of the same man who created him.
The battle between good and evil has begun.
Against an army of shadows comes the dark warrior,
the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence,
and a mission of justice.
This. Is. Sting.
After a brief moment of silence and darkness, the titantron screen lights up with the entrance video of the "Icon".
[video=youtube;N2-9IrO0DAs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2-9IrO0DAs[/video]
Lillian Garcia: Introducing the opponents, first representing the Black and White Machine The Icon Sting!
The crowd goes nuts as the Icon comes out to one of the largest pops of the night. You would never guess he is almost 60 years of age as with his baseball bat in hand makes his way down the ramp. Sandow begins undoing his rope and Bryan takes off his shirt preparing for an immediate fight as Sting gets to the steel steps and begins to walk up them. He gets into the ring and throws off his trenchcoat asking Sandow and Bryan which one took out Joe. Both men just smile again not admitting to the deed. "Ok fine I'll beat it out of you." Sting drops the bat so not to get disqualified and nails Sandow with a right hand as the bell rings.
Ding Ding Ding!
Sting unleashes a right hand on Bryan, then Sandow, then Bryan, then Sandow building up momentum and power with every punch. He grabs both men and smashes their heads together like Hogan did years ago. Both men fall to the mat but get back up quickly as Sting grabs Sandow and sends him whipping into one corner, he then grabs Bryan and whips him into the opposite corner. Sting lets out a loud WOO as he rushes Sandow and connects with a Stinger Splash. Sting turns his attention to Bryan in the opposite corner now and Woo’s again, the crowd is on their feet early in this main event as Sting explodes onto Bryan with a Stinger Splash. Sting pounds his chest like a gorilla as the fans give a loud ovation for his efforts.
JR: This Dallas crowd absolutely loves the Stinger Hot Rod as he’s come out here on fire in what can only be called a handicap match.
Piper: Sting shouldn’t waste time taunting he needs to put this match away fast or else the numbers game will catch up to him.
Sting heads over to Bryan and grabs him setting him up in a reverse DDT position looking for the Scorpion Death Drop, but before he can do it Sandow comes up behind him and sends his elbow into the back of the Stingers head. Sting is forced to let go of Bryan and Sandow unleashes with big right hands that sends Sting to his knees. Bryan now gets into the act by kicking Sting right in the face. Sting goes down on the mat and Your Enlightened Saviors or Y.E.S. for short begin stomping away at the Stinger like two vultures fighting over a dead carcass. The crowd boos as Sting is all alone against both men. Bryan asks for Sandow to pick Sting up and hold him. Sandow obliges picking up Sting and holding him with his arms behind his back. Bryan nails Sting with a right hand in the face screaming YES! You’re Welcome! Sandow says as Bryan nails Sting in the stomach screaming Yes! You’re Welcome! A kick to the gut, Yes! You’re welcome. Bryan then slaps Sting screaming Yes, to which Sandow then sends Sting into the mat bringing him down with a Russian legsweep. Sandown brushes himself off and says You’re welcome, before turning to Bryan and shaking his hand to major heat from the crowd.
Piper: I don’t think I’ve ever seen a gentleman in the ring before. That was one of the coolest and weirdest things I’ve ever seen. What do you think they call that move, JR?
JR: I don’t know but it sure is annoying, but I think that is what they were going for.
Sandow motions for Bryan to go ahead and Bryan goes after the Icon who is rolling around on the mat in pain. Bryan lifts Sting up and nails him with a European Uppercut that sends the Icon into the corner of the ring. Bryan grabs Sting and sends him to the mat with a snapmare. Bryan holds Sting up in a seated position as Sandow comes into the picture kicking Sting in the chest much like Bryan did earlier. Instead of going for the cover Bryan and Sandow huddle up in the ring to jeers from the crowd.
Piper: Well aren’t these idiots full of it. This isn’t a football game why the hell are you huddling.
JR: Sandow and Bryan seem to be taking their time, maybe underestimating the Icon I wouldn’t want to do that Hot Rod.
Bryan and Sandow are so busy huddling they don’t see Sting get to his feet, Bryan turns around and sees it his eyes are wide as he turns towards the Stinger, but Sting nails Bryan with a right hand. Sandow comes rushing after him, but Sting grabs Sandow by the head and using his opponent’s momentum sends him sailing over the top rope. Sandow hits the ground hard as the Stinger smiles a little before turning his attention back to Bryan who is getting to his feet. Sting tells Bryan to bring it and Bryan attempts to kick the Icon but Sting catches his leg. Sting then uses his veteran knowledge to sweep out Bryan’s other leg and Bryan goes crashing into the mat. Sting is still holding Bryan’s leg however and gives out a loud woo, the crowd erupt to their feet when they realize what the Icon is doing as he places himself and Bryan into the Scorpion Death Lock!
JR: My god how the tables have turned! The Icon has the American Dragon in the Scorpion Death Lock, legends have fallen to this move Piper.
Piper: Bryan is in a bad way now as Sandow is still down here in front of us. Say Yes now you bastard!
Bryan is in serious pain, as Sting has appeared to have transformed himself into the insane icon, his tongue sticking out a large smile on his face. The crowd loves it as Sting continues to apply pressure in the Scorpion. Bryan begins turning red from the struggle he is having trying to get to the ropes. Bryan gets within 2 inches of the ropes only for Sting to let go a little of the pressure and bring Bryan back into the center of the ring. Bryan can’t believe it as he screams in pain as he begins to lift his hand up in the air looking like he is going to tap out, but before he can Sandow comes into the ring and boots Sting in the side of the face. The crowd are clearly upset Sting was not able to win it there.
JR: Sandow coming out of nowhere and saving his team’s chances here and boy was that close. It looked like Bryan was going to tap out.
Piper: How embarrassing for them if they both lost to a 60 year old man HA!
Sandow mounts Sting immediately before beginning to punch him again and again as Bryan struggles to his feet holding his back in pain. Sandow finishes his barrage on Sting and turns to his partner asking if he is alright. Bryan shakes his head before telling Sandow to pick Sting up. Sandow nods his head as Bryan reaches into his ring gear and pulls out the brass knuckles he’s had for the past few weeks. The crowd boos some as it looks like Bryan is going nail Sting with them. Sandow picks him up and like earlier holds Sting with his arms behind his back. Bryan prepares to unleash on Sandow when…
HOWL!!!!
[video=youtube;PAMEDzvU1rs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAMEDzvU1rs[/video]
The General Manager makes his way out to the ring dressed in a workout suit much like he did in the rumble match. Wolfe looks confident as he pauses at the top of the ramp and surveys the chaos in the ring. He really hates these two guys in the ring. Bryan sees him and he immediately forgets about Sting and begs Wolfe to get into the ring. Sandow tosses Sting to the floor as he stands between the two men not sure what to make of this situation. Wolfe gets to the bottom of the entrance ramp and says “you coming sunshine or are you going to make me wait all day?†Bryan immediately hops out of the ring hoping to get some revenge on Wolfe. Wolfe begins walking backwards up the ramp as Bryan gets to the ring floor. Bryan keeps following as Wolfe as Wolfe gets up to the top of the ramp before finally exiting behind the curtain. Bryan gets to the top of the ramp ready to pursue when…
[video=youtube;QCOxBrddH8k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCOxBrddH8k[/video]
The music of Samoa Joe hits the arena and Bryan’s eyes get huge as the Samoan Submission Machine comes out from the back looking extremely pissed off.
JR: My god its Joe! He’s back!
Piper; Oh man is he going to kill Daniel Bryan.
Everyone is so focused on what is going on at the ramp no one sees Sting come up behind Sandow and roll him up for the cover. The ref turns around and begins the count.
1…
2…
3.. NO!
Sandow gets up with a bewildered look on his face. He can’t believe he was almost fooled by Sting. Sandow gets up and attempts to clothesline the Stinger, but Sting ducks it and nails Sandow with a knife edge chop. Sting nails him with a second and sends Sandow over the top rope with a clothesline. Meanwhile Joe is walking Bryan down the ring and behind Joe is Wolfe watching from the top of the ramp. Bryan sees Sting waiting for him in the ring as Joe begins coming at him from the front. Bryan is trapped and decides to get onto the ring apron. Things do not look good for Bryan not as the tables are turned. Sting finally decides to act grabbing Bryan and tossing him hard into the ring. Joe slides into the ring as Wolfe begins making his way down the ramp. Bryan gets to his feet stuck between both Joe and Sting.
Piper: I think this is the last place Daniel Bryan wants to be, stuck between Samoa Joe and Sting.
JR: They say turnabout is fair play Hot Rod, and it looks to me the tables have indeed turned here.
Bryan is indeed in trouble when Sandow comes into the ring looking to make the save for his partner, but Joe nails him with a chop that sends him crashing to the mat. Bryan uses the moment to escape the ring but it leaves Sandow alone against both men, Sting grabs Sandow and brings him down to the mat with a snapmare driver, as Joe bounces off the ropes and connects on Sandow with a diving big boot. The crowd pops as Sting makes the cover.
1…Bryan tries to get into the ring but Wolfe grabs him stopping him from getting into the ring.
2…
3…
Here are your winners and advancing in the Wild Deuces Tournament: Samoa Joe and Sting, The Black and White Machine!
Wolfe lets go of Bryan who immediately falls to the ring floor unable to believe he’s lost. Wolfe begins walking into the ring as Sting and Joe take turns celebrating in the ring.
JR: Sting and Samoa Joe are going to be advancing to the Finals next week to take on Double J and a partner of his choice.
Piper: You have to give a big assist to Desmond Wolfe, cause without him this match would have ended with Sting being on a stretcher.
The Smackdown then he's to a pretaped Segment from a recent UWF house show.
Previously taped at a house show this weekend...

'Broken Out In Love' hits the PA system and from the back walks Bray Wyatt and Cousin Eli. The lights dim and form a spotlight focusing on Wyatt standing, his arms stretched at his sides forming a crucifixion like pose. Bray Wyatt stands like this for what seems an eternity before he raises his head and pulls from inside his shirt a microphone. He begins to speak as he walks down the ramp towards the ring where his tag team partner and opponent stand with gazing eyes.
Bray Wyatt: Y'all would like to see that wouldn't you?. You would all love to see Bray Wyatt crucified just like our lord and saviour Jesus Christ himself. You'd like that. Y'all want to see me gone. Forever. But even if I was nailed to the cross, and vinegar was poured on my wounds... I would return. Like Jesus of Nazareth, I would rise 44 days and 44 nights later and return to this world a livin' martyr for my cause and people would believe me then when I said I was divine. People would write about me. Non-believers would be made believers and they all would know who Bray Wyatt is... what Bray Wyatt is and what Bray Wyatt did for all of them. Yet... I refuse to be crucified like Jesus. I am not like him. I am nowhere near him at all, and I am aware that I am something more. But still the same. You see the holy son, Jesus Christ, he was accused of practising some sort of magic... he was a blasphemer... he threatened this world and his non-believers in Jerusalem, namely Pontius Pilate, well he had him killed outside the walls of Calvary. Is that what y'all want to do to Bray Wyatt?... well I truly am disappointed to let y'all know that while Jesus Christ died for your sins... Bray Wyatt will never die, and Bray Wyatt is forever. And if you listen... listen closely, you will know that I am the lord. The lord of my own world, all I see and all I perceive and that my holy ghost sees all of you and places great emphasis on one man and one item which he possesses... the Holy Grail... the World Heavyweight Championship.
Bray Wyatt enters the ring, the lights come back on to a normal level and Wyatt talks further.
Mister Ambrose, Mister Dean Ambrose, the World Champion. High and mighty. You might see yerself as a king around these parts and I'd imagine I'd do the same if I weren't so divine and focused on spreadin' love and forgiveness. Love and forgiveness... Love and forgiveness play an important part in your life story don't they Dean. They've effected you in different ways, extreme ways. You were shown no love. Your mother fell victim to the devil's plants... your dad was made pay for crimes he commited... and you grew up homeless. You're a torn person. But you have been forgiven!... life has forgiven you Dean. You used to be a bad person, and maybe you still are, I don't know, I am many things but a psychic I do not claim to be. But you have been forgiven for your mistakes, the mistakes of your parents and you have been given a lease on life... you've been given the World Heavyweight Championship, you made the journey from Pauper to Prince. From homeless to high and mighty. But your journey to eternity is in jeaopardy my friend. And I am your friend. Because your World title is somethin' which Bray Wyatt desires. And also somethin' that Jeff Hardy desires. And the same goes for your own tag team partner John Cena.
Bray Wyatt is getting some strong heat from the crowd, he continues unwavered.
You can trust me Jeffrey, I am your friend. I'm everbodies friend so long as they trust in me, believe me and believe in me. And Jeff the funny thing is, we got a whole lot in common. A whole lot more than many would think. We're both our own men. We do what we want and we have our motives. We both want the Heavyweight title, and we both beat John Cena. Well Jeff, at the Great American Bash, we ain't gonna be the best of friends but you know that friendship and love can come in complex shapes and sizes, and my warmth is no different. But this week we must beat our opponents. And we will. We've both beaten Cena before, he ain't much to write home about, and he sure as hell ain't got a chance teamin' with a loose canon like Ambrose. So what we do is walk on down to the ring and show them what bein' 'enigmas' is all about. We can condem our opponents to hell this week... and make sure they stay there at the Bash... but at the Bash... you might just have to join them. There's only enough room for one King on this roster. And I ain't it. I'm much more than just a king, I am divine, I am the bringer of light, the ANGEL IN THE DIRT... and I am your brother... I am everybody's brother... but brother?... sometime's they don't get along too good.
Bray laughs to himself.
But we gon' get along good enough to make sure that belt get's loosened just a little notch... 'cos it's gon' be mine at the end of this month, boy... because man, gold's just got a crazy, wierd way of findin' itself around divinity. And I am truly divine.
Bray Wyatt drops the microphone and does his crucifix pose once more.
We cut to ringside on Smackdown.
Piper: After hearing that I'm mighty sad the storm cost us the tag match later tonight.
JR: What can you do partner. I'm sure Bray Wyatt will be back next week.
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is now scheduled as a singles match. Introducing first...
[video=youtube;-YQpx63udX8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YQpx63udX8[/video]
ANOTHER ME IS WHAT THERE WILL NEVER BE!
The tron shows Jeff Hardy, and sure enough, the Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling stands atop of the ramp, not his once usual self of pandering to the adoring fans, but instead with a purpose, cold and still. After pausing a moment, he walks down the ramp towards the ring. This clearly is not your everyday Jeff Hardy as instead of pandering to the crowd he merely crotches down in the corner and waits.
Lillian Garcia: From Cameron North Carolina, he is the Anti-Christ of Professional Wrestling, Jeff Hardy!
[video=youtube;eBR3vwYJCiE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBR3vwYJCiE[/video]
The crowd goes absolutely nuts for the 2 time World Heavyweight Champion as he comes out prepared for his match. Once again the champion shows he is not afraid of pain as he slaps himself across the face before he makes his way down to the ring exchanging high fives with the crowd. He slides into the ring and unlatches the title belt around his waist before leaning on the ropes and holding it up for the crowd to see.
Lillian Garcia: From Cinncinatti Ohio, weighing in at 243 lbs, he is the NEW UWF World Heavyweight Champion. DEAN AMBROSE!!!
DING DING DING
The bell rings as Ambrose goes straight after Hardy looking to tie things up but Hardy has his hand on the ropes forcing the official to step in and stop the Champions advances. The crowd gives Hardy some jeers again as the two begin circling each other in the ring a second time and again as Ambrose begins to lunge Hardy grabs the rope in a defensive manner. The ref again is forced to get in between Ambrose and Hardy, but this time the champion just shoves the official aside, which is what the Anti-Christ was hoping for as he pokes the champion in the eyes. Ambrose lets out a grunt as Hardy capitalizes by driving big right hands in Ambrose’s face, the third of which knocks him down to the mat. Ambrose gets up as he is a fighting champion only to be knocked down again by the Anti-Christ who hits him with a clothesline. Hardy is feeling it now as he wipes his long hair out of his face and picks up Ambrose before slamming him to the mat with a scoop slam. The crowd boos loudly as Hardy picks up the champion again and this time body slams him onto the mat before going for the cover.
1…
2…
Ambrose kicks out!
Piper: The thing that bothers me about Hardy JR, is that he refuses to use that high octane offense he used to have. I mean wouldn’t you want to use your strongest trait instead of pretending to be a piss poor Undertaker.
JR: I won’t even hazard a guess as to what goes on in the mind of one Jeffery Hardy as I am sure it isn’t quite right Piper.
Hardy lifts Ambrose up to his feet before kicking Ambrose in the gut before whipping Ambrose hard into the corner. Ambrose sits there for a minute as Hardy goes to attack, but the World Champion gets an elbow up and into the face of Hardy. Hardy tries again and this time Ambrose hits him with an elbow to the side of the temple. The crowd cheers as Hardy falls back and Ambrose takes the offensive delivering sharp kicks now to the legs and ribs of Hardy. Hardy is in serious trouble as Ambrose kicks him in the knee which forces the Anti-Christ to his knees, Ambrose bounces off the ropes and with full momentum delivers a nasty dropkick right into the jaw and face of Hardy. The crowd pops as Ambrose goes for his first cover in the match up.
1…

Hardy kicks out.
The match is indeed back and forth so far in the early going as Ambrose lifts Hardy to his feet and attempts to hook him into a vertical suplex, but the Anti-Christ blocks it with his leg, Ambrose brings down his arms onto the back of Hardy before changing the vertical into a snap suplex. Ambrose grabs his back as he landed funny on it but it doesn’t stop him from going for a second cover.
1…
2…
Hardy kicks out!
JR: It is weird to believe that these two men are going to be facing each other in a King of the Mountain Match at the Great American Bash Hot Rod.
Piper: This match almost feels like a World Title Match JR, let’s hope Ambrose doesn’t blow it like he did last week.
Ambrose gets to his feet as Hardy gets to all fours before the Champion runs at one of his challengers at the Bash and unloads on him with a sharp kick right into the ribs. The Champion smiles as the crowd loves it as Hardy is clearly in pain. Hardy holding his ribs gets to his feet gingerly only to be immediately dropped to the mat with a bulldog. Ambrose pounds his chest now beginning to feel the momentum building as he begins bouncing up and down in the ring. Hardy gets to his feet and Ambrose goes for the Knee Trembler, but Hardy moves out of the way. Ambrose is stunned by this long enough for Hardy to wrap his arm around Ambrose’s neck and drive him down to the mat in a variation of a clothesline. The impact leaves both men on the ground.
JR: Hardy needed that counter desperately and I find myself surprised that the champion couldn’t put the match away.
Piper: Weren’t you telling me earlier about a personal problem where you couldn’t put it away. Ha!
Both men stagger and stumble back to their feet, Hardy unleashes a nasty right hand into Ambrose’s forehead. The crowd boos. Ambrose answers back with a right of his own. The crowd cheers. Hardy hits a punch, Boo. Ambrose responds with one of his own. Cheer! Boo, Cheer, Boo, Cheer, until finally Hardy goes low and kicks Ambrose in the mid-section. Ambrose hunches over and Hardy grabs him throwing him shoulder first into the steel ring post. Hardy waits patiently for Ambrose to get to his feet and he does holding his shoulder, Ambrose turns and attempts to punch Hardy, but the charismatic enigma ducks it only to grab Ambrose and drop him with a sitout jawbreaker. Ambrose stays on his feet but goes flailing into the ropes only to come back at Hardy who catches him and sends him crashing to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Hardy goes for the cover.
1…
2…
3.. NO!
Hardy smiles as he picks up Ambrose and sends him whipping into the corner. Ambrose is beaten down and just sits there as Hardy takes refuge in the opposite corner. Hardy suddenly begins sprinting across the ring and hits Ambrose with a nasty splash. The Champion is resilient however and does not go down he remains on his feet even though unable to walk straight. Hardy wants to end the match and goes to kick the Champion in the gut in preparation of his Twist of Hate, but Ambrose catches the leg to Hardy’s shock. Ambrose uses all of his strength to throw Hardy’s leg away, but the momentum allows Hardy to stop facing Ambrose. Hardy nails Ambrose with a nasty right first before sending him to the mat with a headlock takedown. The Champion is in a seated position as Hardy bounces off the ropes and comes back delivering a mule kick right into Ambrose’s face. The crowd oohs and jeers as Hardy goes for the cover.
1…
2…
3.. NO!
JR: And the Champion again proving his resourcefulness to find a way to kick out of anything by taking that barrage of Hardy and still managing to get a shoulder up.
Piper: I’m impressed JR, but last week it failed Ambrose and it may just do that for a second time here tonight.
Hardy gets to his feet and waits for the injured Ambrose to get to his feet, Ambrose is slow, very slow to get to his feet but finally manages. Hardy immediately rushes Ambrose but Ambrose uses Hardy’s momentum to send him crashing into the corner. Hardy is hurting as Ambrose wraps his arms around Hardy from behind and drives him to the mat with a German Suplex. The crowd cheers wildly at the counter but Ambrose is hurting, as is Hardy and both men remain on the ground. The official begins counting to 10. After 3 seconds both competitors begin to respond and by 5 are at the ropes and climbing to their feet, by 9 they are both up and ready to go. It is Hardy who spins Ambrose around and attempts a right hand, but Ambrose blocks it. Ambrose kicks Hardy in the gut before grabbing Hardy around the head and shocks everyone when he performs the Twist of Hate. The crowd pops wildly as Ambrose goes for the cover.
1…
2…
3… NO!
JR: Ambrose almost stole this match, with his opponent’s finishing maneuver their Hot Rod.
Piper: Imagine how embarrassing that would be for Julie Hardy.
Ambrose gets off of Hardy and gets back to his feet and stretches out his arm and cracks his knuckle as he waits for Hardy to move. After several long seconds he does start crawling before arriving at the ropes and using them to get to his feet. Ambrose rushes Hardy but Hardy catches him in a spinning side slam also known as one of Ambrose’s finishing moves known as the Moxicity. Hardy immediately falls on top of Ambrose. The crowd booing.
1…
2…
3… NO!
Ambrose gets the shoulder up an Hardy sits up grabbing his hair in frustration. The Champion is unbelievably sturdy as again he is proving how much pain it takes to take him down. Hardy screams with hate allowing it to soak into him and give him some sort of magical power maybe. Hardy looks almost possessed as he picks up Ambrose and sets him up for the Twist of Hate but as he spins Ambrose shoves him hard and Hardy goes into the ropes, except they aren’t there they’ve been bent down and Hardy goes flying over and to the floor. The camera takes a look at the scene and who is standing there but Ted Dibiase Jr. The crowd begins booing immediately.
JR: What the hell is Ted Dibiase doing down here? Hasn’t he done enough damage after what he did to Triple H earlier in the evening?
Piper: Man am I really getting tired of seeing this guy JR.
Dibiase climbs into the ring looking to take down Ambrose but the Champion begins fighting back with big right hands. He sends Dibiase to the mat with a big clothesline that gets the fans cheering. The cheers quickly fade however as the official calls for the bell.
As a result of Outside Interference this Match has been determined a No Contest!
Ambrose turns his attention to the official and begins asking why. The official begins explaining what happened when suddenly his face turns white. Ambrose turns around to see what he was looking at and finds the Animal Batista standing behind him. Batista with absolutely no effort whatsoever lifts Ambrose into the air and sends him crashing down to the mat with a spinebuster. The crowd boos loudly as Batista just screams in a rage. Dibiase has managed to get to his feet and Batista runs full tilt at Dibiase and manages to spear him almost into two. Hardy slides into the ring now and nails Batista with a right hand, but it doesn’t faze the Animal who appears to be in another zone right now. Hardy nails Batista with a third right hand and Batista responds with a clothesline that takes Hardy’s head off. Batista picks up Hardy who is out on his feet and crushes his spine to the mat with a Spinebuster.
JR: Good Lord, the Animal is destroying 3 of his opponents at the Bash, the ring is starting to look like a train wreck.
Piper: I’ve never seen such inhuman strength JR, I think his chances of winning at the Bash just sky-rocketed.
Dibiase has somehow managed to get to his feet and the Animal as if doing something simple like getting groceries lifts him up and connects with a third spinebuster. Batista like a wild animal begins shaking the ropes violently to monster heat from the crowd before turning around and looking for his next victim. He decides it is going to be the Champion as he brings him to his feet and places him between his legs before lifting him high up into the air before crashing him to the mat with a Batista Bomb. Batista throws Ambrose aside as he heads over and yells at the timekeeper to bring him the World title. Afraid for his life the timekeeper does so.
JR: People have seemed to forget about Batista as he won his spot at Starrcade, but after this I highly doubt we will be forgetting about him now.
Piper: I wonder what Cena and Wyatt are thinking watching at home, could the Bash truly be the night of the Animal!
The Animal wraps the World Title around his waist before climbing up to the top turnbuckle and pointing to himself, telling the Dallas crowd he is the next World Champion. The crowd jeer him as Smackdown comes to a finish.
