SmackDown opens with a graphic that would cause most of the audience to groan.
The graphic then fades into a shot of UWF Tag Team Champion Daniel Bryan. He's staring straight into the camera as the crowd boo's loudly. He then addresses the audience.
Daniel Bryan: Hello and welcome to Friday Night SmackDown. My name is Daniel Bryan and I am The Best Wrestler In The World. Not only that but I am a founding member of The Best Faction in the history of not only UWF but the entire history of professional wrestling Your Enlightened Saviors. And, to commemorate our time here in UWF, we have graciously put together this tribute to honor us in a way we deserve. So, kick back, relax and enjoy watching greatness unfold before your very eyes.
The scene fades into a montage of moments from the history of Y.E.S. Such moments include Daniel and Damien's Tag Team Championship win against Sting and Samoa Joe, Bray winning the Money In The Bank ladder match, Every edition of The Dragon's Lair with Daniel beating down guests Matt Hardy, Lita and Vince McMahon, Daniel's victory against Edge in the Last Man Standing match, Damien defeating Dean Ambrose, Daniel and AJ making out, Damien and Daniel defeating Rated X-Treme and lastly The 5-on-5 Team Y.E.S. Victory. The song playing over the montage is “Leave the Memories Alone†by Fuel

After the montage, we are then greeted by Daniel Bryan once again.
Daniel Bryan: It's so much. It's so glorious. It is the past, present and future of this business. Y.E.S. Isn't just a group of successful individuals who came together. Y.E.S. Is a way of life. Taking over SmackDown indefinitely is just the beginning of the process. The process of change. Change is coming to the UWF, people. We are enlightening you. We are saving you. Tonight, I will take the Television Championship away from Rob Van Dam, that irresponsible degenerate scumbag and, when I do, the plan will continue and by the time we're done, you will be thanking us. Yes.....Yes.....Yes....Yes......
Daniel keeps repeating the word “YES!†until the camera fades into the beginning of SmackDown.

'Re-Education' by US Punk outfit Rise Against plays over the audio system as Smackdown kicks off. Pyro shoots out of every imaginable orifice of the arena as the camera pans around showing the excited fans who jump up and down, fists in the air, awaiting the Smackdown action that is due to proceed. The camera continues to pan the arena before settling on our announce team of Good Ol' JR, Jim Ross and 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper!.
Jim Ross: Welcome to UWF Friday Night Smackdown everyone! And we are just two weeks into YES' control over Smackdown. Just to think Roddy, we've got two more weeks of this!
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper: Ross, at first I was a bit skeptical about these guys, but I'm starting to warm up to them.
JR: Roddy, don't you go and start kissing their butts just to keep your job. I know how you feel about YES
Piper: Either way, we've got a jam packed show planned and I think we've wasted enough time. Let's get right to our first match of the evening.
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the UWF Television Championship.
[video=youtube;elyEQz7aG_A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=elyEQz7aG_A[/video]
The crowd immediately breaks into a chorus of boos as 1 half of the UWF Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan, the self-proclaimed “Best Wrestler In The World†makes his way from the back. Much to the crowd's chagrin, he is in a great mood here tonight. Behind him appears one of his fellow Y.E.S Members Bray Wyatt
Lillian Garcia: Introducing first, from Aberdeen Washington, he is one half of the UWF Tag Team Champions, Daniel Bryan.
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, from Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing in at 242 pounds, he is the UWF Television Champion, Rob...Van...Dam!
ONE OF A KIND!
After a while "One Of a Kind" by Breaking point hits the PA System of the arena as the crowd goes crazy. With the first guittar riff hits, one of the most loved UWF superstars Rob Van Dam and his manager Bill "Fonzie" Alfonso appear under the titantron with a wide smile on their faces as the crowd chants RVD's name. Huge ovation for Rob Van Dam and Fonzie. RVD goes down the ramp and making his way towards the ring, while Fonzie is jumping behind him, blowing his whistle. On the way to the ring, Rob is high-fiving many of the fans and when he reaches the ring. RVD rolls into the ring and raises his fists into the air, spinning around, he nods his head and proceeds to do his usual thumb taunting as his name is announced.

JR: And it’ll be interesting to see how both men utilize their feet in this Television Championship bout. Both are known to be excellent strikers when it comes to their lower limbs.
The bell sounds and Bryan and Van Dam proceed to lock up. Bryan gets the better of the lock up and quickly performs an armbar takedown, bringing Van Dam to the canvas and trying to apply the YES Lock on the current Champion. Van Dam is prepared for it and uses his free leg to kick Bryan in the back of the head and break the Challenger’s attempt at his submission move. Bryan grabs his head and rolls over to the far corner of the ring as he gets to a knee. Rob Van Dam is right behind him and goes on the attack. Van Dam meets Bryan with a shoulder thrust directly to the ribcage. Bryan tries to catch all the air that just left his lungs, but is unable to as Van Dam delivers another shoulder in the same precise spot. Van Dam pulls back and performs an unnecessary backflip before driving his shoulder into Bryan’s midsection for the third time. This time, Bryan stumbles out of the corner and Van Dam quickly capitalizes with an enziguiri to the back of the head. This sends the stunned challenger to the canvas where Van Dam goes for the first cover of this Championship bout…

Bryan kicks out!
JR: And the very unorthodox Rob Van Dam has the advantages in the early goings!
Piper: He’s another spot monkey Ross! Bryan will take the title from him just like Cena will take the title from Hardy later!
Bryan gets to a knee after kicking out of the pinning situation. Van Dam looks to stay on the offensive. He heads to the far corner of the ring and turns his back to Bryan, leaping from the mat to the top rope. This turns out to be a mistake as Bryan is able to rush Van Dam, pushing him in the back and causing the Television Champion to fall from the top rope and hit the ring barricade face first…
JR: Oh My! What a fall Rob Van Dam just took!
Piper: It’s called high risk for a reason! And it’s not the kind of high Van Dam is used to!
Van Dam’s body splats hard and he lies motionless on the arena floor. Daniel Bryan looks to go after him but official Charles Robinson stops the Challenger and informs him that he must perform the ten count on Van Dam…

Van Dam starts to stir!

Van Dam crawls towards the ring apron and uses it to hold himself up…

Van Dam slides back into the ring!
JR: YES! Van Dam made it!
Van Dam is able to make it into the ring before the count of five, but Daniel Bryan is ready for him. Bryan grabs Van Dam and lifts him to his feet before grabbing Van Dam by the arm and performing a snap suplex. Van Dam’s head and neck bounce off the mat as Bryan floats over and goes for a cover…
1…

Van Dam rolls a shoulder!
Van Dam’s kick out doesn’t faze Daniel Bryan. The Challenger gets to his feet and allows Van Dam to have some breathing room. Van Dam is able to make it to a knee before Daniel Bryan catches him with a stiff roundhouse kick to the chest. The echo of Bryan’s boot meeting Van Dam’s chest radiates throughout the arena. Van Dam barely has any time to brace himself before Bryan cocks back and delivers another stiff kick to the chest. This one almost knocks Van Dam to the floor, but the Television Champion manages to keep his balance. Daniel Bryan now looks for the kill shot. Bryan cocks back one more time and this time swings for Van Dam’s head. Van Dam sees the imminent blow coming and is able to duck under it, Van Dam then proceeds to push himself off the mat before performing a spinning back kick of his own, catching Daniel Bryan right in the throat…
JR: And the Champion caught the Challenger off guard!
Bryan grabs his throat as he lands on the mat. The Challenger landed in the perfect position for Van Dam, directly under the turnbuckle. Van Dan wastes no time heading to that turnbuckle, turning his back to Van Dam and leaving his feet, performing the spilt legged moonsault and landing down hard on top of his challenger for yet another pinfall…
1…
2…
Bryan kicks out!
After Bryan kicks out, Van Dam decides that he isn’t done with him just yet. Van Dam lifts Bryan off the mat before lifting the technician specialist off his feet and driving him back down onto the canvas with a front powerslam. The fans get to their feet as Van Dam motions to them that it may be time for some Rolling Thunder action. Van Dam runs the far ropes before performing the barrel roll and attempting to come down on top of Bryan with the Rolling Thunder senton, but Bryan is ready for it and gets his knees up. Van Dam’s spine is driven hard onto Bryan’s knees and the Challenger gets to his feet having outsmarted the Champion…
Piper: Like I said, it’s only a matter of time before Bryan is the new Television Champion!
Van Dam rolls around the ring in pain as Daniel Bryan goes right after him. Bryan quickly lifts Van Dam off the mat before putting his head on the side of Van Dam’s body and lifting the Champion overhead with a Northern Lights suplex. The challenger bridges the move and the Champion finds himself in another pinning predicament…
1…
2…
Van Dam kicks out!
Both Champion and Challenger get to their feet at the same time and Van Dam attempts a mule kick, but Bryan is ready and catches Van Dam’s leg. This doesn’t stop the Television Champion from attacking though as he propels himself into the air and catches Bryan with yet another enziguiri…
JR: Those educated feet have been working in Van Dam’s favor all match!
The enziguiri surprises Bryan and allows Van Dam to run to the far side of the ring. Van Dam leaps from the floor to the top rope and as Daniel Bryan gets to his feet, Rob Van Dam leaps off the top and connects with a flying kick directly to Bryan‘s chest. The Oregon fans get to their feet as their Champion gets back to a vertical base and looks around. Van Dam sees that Daniel Bryan is down and out and heads to the corner of the ring again. Once more, Van Dam leaps from the canvas to the top rope before putting himself in perfect position for what one can only assume is his finishing maneuver…
JR: And Van Dam may be feeling Froggy!
Piper: Ugh!
Van Dam leaps off the top rope, turning in midair, preparing to crash down on top of Bryan with the patented Five Star Frog Splash. At the very last second, Daniel Bryan rolls out of the way and Rob Van Dam hits nothing but canvas…
Piper: You live by the high risk; you die by the high risk. And I’m certain that Rob Van Dam just died tonight!
Bryan pulls himself to his feet on the far side of the ring and sees that Rob Van Dam is virtually motionless after missing that Frog Splash. It doesn’t take Bryan long to capitalize. He goes right after Van Dam, who is down on his stomach. Bryan then grabs Van Dam’s arm and puts it between his legs before hooking Van Dam’s head and applying the YES Lock…
JR: And now Bryan’s got the YES Lock in!
Bryan applies as much pressure to his submission hold as he can and by this point, there is virtually no fight left in Rob Van Dam. The Champion has no choice but to tap out and live to fight another day…
Lillian Garcia: The winner of this match as a result of a submission and NEW UWF Television Champion, Daniel Bryan!
As the referee calls for the bell and Bryan’s music plays, the new Champion releases the hold on the former Champion. Bryan gets to his feet and is handed the Television Championship by the official. Bryan is ecstatic and quickly leaves the ring screaming “Yes†all along the way. This is where Smackdown heads backstage.
A camera crew backstage are searching for someone but Dean Ambrose walks in front of them from behind some crates.
Dean Ambrose
Looking for someone?
Interviewer
Yes we're trying to catch up with YE-
YES!? Screw them. They try and take away my freedom and now they don't even want me to speak to my audience. Well they're not here right now and I don't have a lot of time so I'm going to hurry and get some things off my chest.
Uhh we really need to-
First things first, Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler thinks he can take me lightly. He wants to prove to the world that he's the next big thing. Hell he very well might be. But the thing is, as long as he's on the same brand as me, he's not going anywhere. In the next ten years he might be the most successful wrestler here but right now....he aint’ shit. And I'm going to treat him like the little stain he is tonight.
Now as far as my problems with YES, they started when they first formed. I know what it looks like. They formed to become the most dominate force in the history of UWF and take control of Smackdown. All this has happened on accident. The real reason they've joined up is because of Daniel Bryan. I beat Daniel Bryan to become the first World Heavyweight Champion here on Smackdown and it's eaten him up inside. Ever since then he's sworn to get revenge so he got a bunch of pansies together and made it their ultimate goal to keep me down. Now I'll admit, I'm a little at fault here. I should have taken care of them before they even first formed but I was a bit preoccupied. As long as they're in charge, they won't let me lay a hand on them, sanctioned match or not but I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure they lose control. Once control is put back in the hands of the people who deserve it, I will systematically destroy each and every one of them. So Daniel Bryan can have is laughs for now. He can sit back and enjoy my slave work. In a months time however, I'll relish in his remains.
Dean Ambrose shoves the camera away and walks down the hall as we head elsewhere.
Josh Matthews: Jeff…. After the actions that took place last week, your short reign as champion, could be coming to an abrupt halt tonight. What are your thoughts?
Jeff looks at Josh in confusement before changing to a broad smile and starting to answer his question.
Jeff Hardy: Last week? Oh, man last week was great. I walked out in-front of my creatures as the new World Heavyweight Champion, and I continued my dominance against arguably one of my greatest threats, the man I proved to be full of empty promises and threats that continue to fall onto deaf ears… Edge. After promising to beat me in the contendership ladder match, the title match at Survivor Series, and also last week, he fail every time, and it is now time to divert my attention away from Edge, as there are other troubles on the champions horizons that need to be dealt with. YES….. Dolph Ziggler….. and first of all tonight…. John Cena.
Yes Josh, I know that you were referring to me being beat down after the match, and Wyatt nearly stealing my World title last week but I nearly didn’t win at Survivor Series… Edge nearly climbed the ladder those weeks ago and I wouldn’t be where I am today. If I was worried about the nearly’s and almost’s I wouldn’t be able to get anything done. I am still champion, and I am a fighting champion, and if anyone is going to take this off me they are going to have to do it through a fight, not through a circumstance. Bray Wyatt seems to be ready to conform. The man that claims he is different from anything we have all ever seen, is going to take his money in the bank opportunity the same way as everybody else. He didn’t bank on John Cena…. Why not? Why didn’t this genius of a superstar count on the fact that John Cena would want his rematch? The day John Cena refuses a moment in the spotlight is the day he hangs up his boots for good and in no way is that a back-handed remark, he is here for the right reasons. He earned his rematch by becoming champion. I have to earn my rematch tonight… by beating John Cena.
We’ve seen it happen already here the last few weeks, John beat Rey Mysterio in his rematch, which null and voided Rey’s chance to fight for the belt again. I’m not saying I feel that I need the rematch in the future, but I feel that with the money in the bank briefcase flying around, if they pick the right opportunity, I need a sort of insurance policy in my back pocket to avenge the very probable of my gold. Cena is probably thinking he has it all to win, but he doesn’t, I have something I don’t yet have riding on this match, and just like I have every week lately Josh, I am going to fight tooth and nail for it.
Smackdown has been on a decline. Ever since Ted DiBiase lost the title, the integrity of our world championship has been almost non-existant. Four matches in a row that belt has changed hands I’m not going to let it go five consecutive. Cody Rhodes is quickly becoming one of the longest holding champions here, Bully Ray has taken the belt off Randy Ortons respectable grasp. Smackdown has never had a truly credible champion. Ambrose done well and he’s the closest we got. Ted DiBiase only won because of the Big Show. I feel there is a responsibility on my shoulders to climb Smackdown up the respect ladder, and the World Heavyweight Championship needs to be seen by outsiders as more of a distinct achievement to win. I may not accomplish that, but if Ieave the ring every night knowing that I have one hundred percent tried to do that…. Well… that’s something. John, you will get one hundred percent of me tonight. And as I have proved in the past, it’s more than enough.
Jeff Hardy walks away from Josh as the screen fades to black.

The Rated “R†Superstar Edge:
You know I always sit in back and I wait. I wait and I’m wondering who is going to be chosen next. Who is going to be the one that I am chosen to step in the ring against. But you know what I’m tired of that. I’m tired of that crap. I want something different. I want something fresh. I want to see who out there really has what it takes to step up to the plate. Who out there is really willing to try their hand at the top of the ladder here in UWF. Who out there is really wanting to do something special instead of settling for the mediocre. Who out there is really a top tier talent and isn’t afraid of a challenge. I can say that I myself am not afraid of the unknown. And by saying that I am using this time right here to do something that I haven’t seen done in a while.
The Rated “R†Superstar Edge:
I’m going to make this very simple. I’m going to issue out an open challenge. I’m challenging anybody out there. I don’t care what brand you are on… whether you on Raw, NXT, or even on this brand here. I want something big. I want a challenger that is going to bring it. I want a fight. I want someone that is going to push me to my limits and then some. So yeah… people use interview time for whatever… I’m using this time right here to issue a challenge. I don’t know who is going to answer… and I don’t care who is going to answer. All I want is for someone to step up to the plate and show that they have the balls to step up to Edge. Show that they give a rat’s ass and will do something. They want to stop me… by all means step up and come to the blue brand and do it. You know where to find me. I’m very easy to pick out. I’m the good looking guy with the hot woman on his side. And if nobody is going to step up… if nobody wants to accept this open challenge…
The Rated “R†Superstar Edge:
I WILL PERSONALLY go to every show and wreak havoc until I find someone man enough to stop me. I’m looking to do something big. I’m looking to make history. I’m looking to create interest in UWF… and I’m going to do it by any means necessary. Which means… every single UWF superstar has been put on notice. Put up or shut up. Edge is coming.
Lillian Garcia: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Cincinatti, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, Dean Ambrose!
[video=youtube;eBR3vwYJCiE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eBR3vwYJCiE[/video]
The crazy ex-World Heavyweight Champion comes out to the ring to the biggest pop of the night so far. The sadistic Ambrose looks determined and angry, not a good combination for his opponent. Ambrose gets into the ring as quickly as he can before turning towards the crowd and the cameras to taunt. He then begins to lean on the ring ropes, smirking, but also watching around before taking off his jacket, and continuously rocking, waiting for UWF Television Champion.
I'm Here To Show The World.....!
[video=youtube_share;zF8d_68H6BA]http://youtu.be/zF8d_68H6BA[/video]
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, from Hollywood, Florida, he is The Show-Off.... Dolph Ziggler!
In his pink ‘Show Off’ tee Dolph girates before spinning around and screaming some sort of delusional, grandeur based, self promotion at the crowd. Dolph walks down to the ring, pointing at himself and then his ‘Show Off’ tee before rolling into the ring and runs and jumps on to the turnbuckle to showboat some more. His music finishes and he awaits his opponent....
The bell sounds and this contest between Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler is now underway. The two lock up and Ziggler uses his amateur wrestling background by performing a go behind and taking Ambrose to the canvas with a double leg takedown. The showoff doesn’t stop showing off there, he quickly spins from Ambrose’s legs to the top of his head, and grabbing Ambrose by the neck and applying a front face lock. Ziggler applies as much pressure to the front face lock as he can in hopes of making Ambrose pass out. But what Ziggler did not account for is Dean Ambrose being able to counter. Ambrose grabs Ziggler by the arm and is able to spin out of Ziggler’s grasp, taking Ziggler’s arm and placing it between his legs, applying a Cross Armbreaker. The fans are just as stunned with the quick counter as Dolph Ziggler is and the showoff has to quickly drags both his and Ambrose’s bodies to the ropes in an attempt to break the submission. Ziggler does indeed make it and the referee forces Ambrose to break the hold.
JR: And in a turn of events I didn’t see happening, Dean Ambrose just outwrestled Dolph Ziggler!
Piper: Don’t sell the kid short Ross! He’s had some of the best matches on Smackdown this year!
After breaking the Cross Armbreaker submission hold, Ambrose gets to his feet with a smile on his face. On the other side of the ring, Dolph Ziggler holds onto the bottom rope, still unsure of exactly what just transpired. Either way, Ziggler regains his bearings. He gets back to a vertical base and Dean Ambrose motions for him to bring it on. Ziggler indeed brings it, getting right in Ambrose’s face before delivering a surprise standing dropkick that sends Ambrose to the canvas. Ziggler wastes no time quickly going for the cover after hitting the swift move…

Ambrose rolls a shoulder!
After Ambrose kicks out, Ziggler goes back to the ground game; He grabs Ambrose by the back of the head and applies a rear chinlock. The grappler from Cincinnati tries to fight it off, but Ziggler already has it locked in. Ziggler drags Ambrose’s skull to the canvas, where Ziggler takes this opportunity to show off some more. The Number One Contender proceeds to perform a handstand in the center of the ring as he has the rear chinlock applied to Dean Ambrose…
JR: What is this kid doing?
Piper: He’s showing off Ross! And I love it!
Ziggler doesn’t just stop with one handstand. He proceeds to perform a second one, never letting go of Dean Ambrose all the while. Ziggler seems to think he’s got this match in full control. He could not be any more wrong. As Ziggler rests on a knee behind Ambrose with the front face lock applied, the former World Heavyweight Champion begins to fight back. The UWF Universe gives Ambrose the shot of adrenaline that he needed and the next thing you know, Ambrose is trying to get to his feet. Ziggler’s wide eyed reaction tells the story as Ambrose is able to make it up off the canvas and to a vertical base, with Ziggler still hanging on his back. Ambrose proceeds to throw a right elbow into Ziggler’s midsection, which causes Ziggler’s feet to leave the mat. Nonetheless, Ziggler will not release his grip on Ambrose. Ambrose responds by throwing a second elbow into Ziggler’s chest, repeating the process. This one causes Ziggler to release Ambrose and finally the former World Champion is free. Ambrose runs to the far ropes in an attempt to gather some momentum, but before Ambrose can get anything going, Ziggler grabs a handful of Ambrose’s hair and slams him hard onto the canvas. Just like that, Dean Ambrose’s comeback has been stopped and the crowd shows their disapproval by booing…
JR: Just when it seemed like Ambrose was about to get something going, Dolph Ziggler stopped him.
Ambrose pushes himself onto his stomach and holds the back of his head in pain. Meanwhile, Dolph gloats as much as he possibly can and proclaims himself the next World Heavyweight Champion. Ambrose begins to push himself to his feet and as he makes it to a knee, Ziggler runs off the near ropes and leaves his feet, looking for the FameAsser. Ambrose senses it coming and moves his head backwards. Ziggler manages to land on his feet, but with Ambrose behind him, the former World Champion is able to hook both of Ziggler’s arms and backslide him to the canvas…

Ziggler kicks out!
Both men get to their feet at the same time and Ziggler looks for a clothesline. Ambrose is ready for him and ducks under before grabbing Ziggler by the neck and performing a reverse neckbreaker. Ziggler grabs his head and neck as it hits the canvas and Ambrose goes for a cover…
1…
2…
Ziggler kicks out!
Ambrose gets back to his feet and he’s feeling it now. He motions for Ziggler to get up and Ziggler complies, albeit very slowly. As soon as Ziggler gets to his feet, Ambrose hits him with a stiff short arm clothesline. This sends Ziggler back to the canvas, but that doesn’t mean the Ambrose onslaught is over just yet. Ambrose runs the far ropes and comes back at Ziggler before leaving his feet and driving both of his knees right into Ziggler’s head. Ziggler grabs his skull as Ambrose goes for another cover…
1…
2…
Ziggler kicks out again!
JR: And the tide has now turned in Ambrose’s favor!
Ambrose is ready to finish Ziggler off. He backs into the far corner, and puts up a feign gun. As Ziggler pushes himself to his knee, Ambrose pulls the trigger on the gun and runs out of the corner, looking for the Knee Trembler…
JR: Ambrose looking to end it!
Before Ziggler can connect with the Knee Trembler, Ziggler sidesteps him. Ambrose whiffs it and now Ziggler stands is ready to strike behind Ambrose. Ziggler wastes no time leaving his feet and grabbing Ambrose by the back of the head, bringing him down onto the canvas with the Zig Zag!
Piper: I told you Ross!!
Ziggler hits his finishing move and goes for the win…

Ambrose kicks out!
Piper: What?
Ziggler can’t believe it so he goes and covers Ambrose again…

Ambrose kicks out again!
Although Dean Ambrose kicked out, he may not know where he is. Dolph Ziggler on the other hand is in complete control. And being in complete control, Ziggler does what he does best, he decides to show off. He stands tall over Dean Ambrose, who has rolled onto his back. Ziggler bends down and gets right in Ambrose’s face, and screams “I’m the best in the…â€
JR: Wait a minute!
Before Ziggler has the opportunity to finish his sentence, Ambrose hooks his head and performs an inside cradle…

Lillian Garcia: Here is your winner; Dean Ambrose!
JR: Ziggler’s showing off cost him this match!
Ambrose rolls right out of the ring and raises his own arms in victory. On the inside of the ring, Dolph Ziggler is openly upset. Ambrose is nothing but smiles as Smackdown heads elsewhere.
Smackdown cuts to a backstage area where Eddie Guerrero is.
Remember me?
Tonight, if you are among those who have pushed me to the recesses of your minds like a bad memory, you'll have no choice but to when I not only take Edge down a few pegs, but wipe him off of the roster and the company payroll entirely. Hear that? Silence. None of you can muster a word to deny it, holmes, you know that I'm telling the truth. And it's not that you're paralyzed in denial, you've just thrown in the towel like he has. With all of the hype surrounding you Edge, I was led to believe it was going to be difficult to knock you off of your perch. It was supposed to be a challenge, ese', and instead I'm insulted by things going in the other direction and it being effortless. But it's not only that you've lost your smile and will to work, vato, it's ME!. I've adapted to these surroundings more quickly than anyone expected me to, and, like a carnivore, I'm not only going after one of the biggest pitbulls at the pound, I'm putting him to sleep!
I don't consider myself an associate of the three men currently running the asylum, but here's some enlightenment for you anyway: you are a statistic. After Smackdown goes off the air tonight, you will be remembered as nothing but a name on a sheet of summarized results. No one will remember the silent and mysterious man that used to enter through the crowd or the member of the Brood, the jokester TLC specialist, or the "Rated R Superstar". They're going to forget you just like they did me, and they'll never remember again because when a flame consumes something, it is entirely consumed and it exists no more. I like to take it a step further so that while the flame is ridding the world of the physical, the smell is attacking the mental of everyone within enough standing distance to sense it. It will enter the sinus cavities of each and every audience member, ese', and wipe their memory banks clean of the fact that there ever was an Adam Copeland.
This path was meant to be paved on Tuesday nights, but they traded me here with the assurance that the grass was greener. Well now that I've arrived, the grass is brown, it decays underneath my footsteps as I venture through the backstage area to do something as harmless as pour myself a cup of coffee, holmes. And for those expecting me to be a flash in the pan that disappears again after tonight, your expectations will never be met. It doesn't matter what these pendejos credentials and accolades are, they will slink into child versions of themselves when they see me standing in this ring and they hear the sound of my voice speaking to them, just like Edge did. And when they try to defend themselves, the best they'll be able to come up with are jokes, ese'. "Hey Eddie, your nephew lost to a midget." "Hey Eddie, your brother was the Gobbledy Gooker." "Hey Eddie, weren't you supposed to start your shift at Taco Bell an hour ago?" "Hey Eddie, the Home Depot's looking for you!" They'll try to make a mockery of me like Edge did and then, once they realize it makes me angry in a way that strengthens me rather than weakens, the stand-up act will stop and they will become the joke.
This is not the lying, cheating, and stealing "Viva La Raza" shouting, low-rider driving Eddie, for those of you that have that notion or are holding out for that revelation as well as those of you in the locker room, my esteemed future opposition, that will make those accusations. And while I'm at it, yes I am forty-five years old. Guess that explains the rage, huh? The ramblings of a senile old dinosaur, thinking he still has what it takes to hang with the young guys when it's all in his head. Why don't I just rip up my contract and hang up the boots, why didn't I just let the industry believe the lie and stay dead? "Stop it Eddie, you're taking our ammunition" you cry, but I'm not listening to a word of it, because it's about time you quit experiencing success by recycling insults! I'll be damned if I'm going to have my legacy undermined and unappreciated because those of you who don't know a dynasty when you see one want to be Jerry Seinfeld and get a laugh. It's not pedigree or lineage or even ability anymore, is it kids? It's about how large your funny bone is, right? RIGHT?
No, that's not what it's about and it's not what I'm about, vato. "Latino Heat" is not a gimmick, telling you the pain I inflict is going to hurt you a lot more than it's going to hurt me is not a gimmick. Asking if you remember me, is not...a gimmick. It is a way of life, ese', it's a motto, a belief system that has brought every company I competed for to its knees in some shape or fashion and will do the same to this corporation but on a grander scale. After you see what I do to Edge tonight and these words I'm saying have time to sink in, you will find yourselves thinking, "Damn, we almost dropped the ball with Eddie." UWF management at the same time that the audience members find themselves thinking, "Damn, they almost dropped the ball with Eddie." Why? Because you almost dropped the ball! But instead of me getting my feelings hurt, crying, and telling myself, "I guess this means they don't like me" I got pissed off and I did something about it and now it's time to get even and get ahead at the same time!
D'Angelo Dinero, the fire under me has been lit, and Smackdown is going up in smoke!
We’re backstage with a Josh Matthews who’s hair often changes during a show. From the left, off-screen, swaggers Dolph Ziggler and the live crowd can be heard having a mixed reaction.
Josh Matthews: Dolph, you were the sole survivor at the Survivor Series pay-per-view earning you a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity in the future. Any idea of when you’ll cash that shot in or how much you say in when you wrestle Jeff Hardy for the championship?
Ziggler doesn’t look happy with the question.
Dolph Ziggler: No Josh, I don’t, are you happy with that? YES are running the show now and even though I WON THEM THAT RIGHT I’m an afterthought just like every other week but you know what, it’s cool, whatevs, because I will go out there and steal the show tonight regardless, just like I did last week. This week I face Dean Ambrose, someone everyone seems to like for no apparent reason other than being a Raven wannabe who is going to be toyed with and then disposed of just like Raven was. After I beat him tonight, and make it look easy, people are going to realise there is only one constant on Smackdown. Not YES, not Cena, not Edge, not Hardy. There is only Dolph Ziggler.
Matthews: You did win an impressive match last week but we didn’t hear from you the rest of the night. Anything you’d like to say to Jeff Jarrett or YES directly?
Ziggler: Really? With your job potentially on the line? I’m sure they could fire you Josh but I’ll give you the scoop. Jeff Jarrett earned my respect. I don’t like the guy but I respect what he did in that ring last week. YES…YES, right now, do NOT have my respect until I get what I deserve and that’s the spotlight. I’m the showoff, that’s what I do week in and week out and at Survivor Series I proved I’m the hottest commodity in UWF. If I don’t get what I want on Smackdown I’ll start talking to the other general managers because you can bet they’d want to hashtag:heel on their show and as a matter of fact this interview is done because I’ve got a job to do tonight: remind everyone why I am the BEST!
Ziggler goes to storm off.
Matthews: Thanks Dolph, back to-
Ziggler cuts back in grabbing the microphone.
Ziggler: Hardy, continue to live in your fantasy world with your “creatures†whilst the rest of the PLANET realises just who I am and what I can do because then WHEN I beat you it’ll be easy for you to slide back under your rock and pretend none of it ever happened. Forget Cena and Edge and Bray, you need to look out for the ShowOff because I WILL get my shot and when I do I WILL become World Heavyweight Champion. Show. Off.
Ziggler throws the microphone into the camera man who stumbles and cuts the feed to a thud from the mic hitting the floor backstage.

Write Two shows a week and you drink a lot of this

"Coma White" by Marilyn Manson begins to play over the PA system as Smackdown's forgotten talent, Eddie Guerrero, makes his way through the curtain looking very somber and serious as he starts walking down the ramp.
Eddie reaches the end of the ramp and circles the ring, retrieving a microphone from one of the ringside officials before ascending the steel steps and entering the ring. "Coma White" fades out to silence as Eddie raises the microphone to his mouth.
REMEMBER ME!?
Eddie looks visibly irritated and his frustration is just as apparent in the tone of his voice.
Last week, I put the entirety of Smackdown on notice that I wasn't going to watch the days on my contract pass me by while I sat at home, underutilized and never booked. It's clear that someone was listening to that notice, because this week I have been booked in a match, my first proper match since signing my talent contract last month. I guess that means it's all water under the bridge now, right ese'? Eddie got what he wanted and now he's not angry with the powers that be, he's not disgruntled at all with his position, he's happy, holmes!
No, no, no, no, no, no, ese'; quite the opposite. I am still very disgruntled, holmes, one instance of management granting me what I require isn't going to change that. My malice goes a lot deeper than them overlooking me when it came to booking the shows for the past few weeks, vato, a lot deeper, in fact. Allow me to educate you.
November 13th, 2005. The day the wrestling industry killed Eddie Guerrero. You all saw it: the crying fans, the signs in the crowd paying homage to me, the chants, the video tributes, all of the WWE roster gathered on the stage crying to the sound of a ten bell salute. It was all very touching to all of you, wasn't it? Well I found nothing touching about it, because it was a slap in my face, ese'!
The crowd boos Eddie's unappreciation for their genuine heartache.
It was a slap in the face because it was something I had no control over. I was out with the guys, ya know, just hanging out. Not drinking though, because we know my past with that, and I don't remember anything after that. Next thing I know I'm somewhere else entirely, reading headlines and watching the news. They said I died of acute heart failure, that I was found unresponsive in my hotel room, that I had passed on. I later found that I was unresponsive because of something that was slipped into my beverage, and I was sent to another country, them having changed my appearance while I was induced. So here I was, clean shaven and bald, sitting in an apartment in a foreign place, completely helpless as my family and my friends and my fans are crying because they think I'm dead.
The crowd boos with more intensity, signifying their skepticism.
You think the industry's above doing that? Pretending their top stars are gone because they're sick of using them? Then you're a very gullible group of pendejos, UCW Universe. Vince McMahon is a very petty man vatos, and refuses to let some grudges die. At the end of the day, no matter how much money I was making him, I was still a WCW guy once upon a time, and he wanted rid of me at any cost, and finally, opportunity showed itself and he did what he did.
I know it's elaborate and seems like a lot of trouble to go through, but like I said, Vince is a petty man. So for five years, I struggled with whatever dead end job would hire me, having to assume this new identity because no one believed I was Eddie Guerrero, because of the news. It was like WWE put a burn notice out on me, only it was worse than you could possibly imagine. They not only killed off my character, they killed off my person, and continued to disrespect me in storyline for years to follow!
The fans continued to boo him, still unconvinced that what he's telling them is true.
Over the years, WWE went out of business, and I got a call from a company called UCW, ironically headed by Vince McMahon. I was very skeptical at first, but I was promised a lot of things I couldn't refuse, and was allowed to assume my identity and everything, so I went back. Not for Vince, not for the fans, but for me. Because I was sick of struggling, I was sick of pretending, I was sick of being nothing. Did I still have bitterness towards Vince? Yes. Did I still have bitterness towards the fans? Yes. But I went to work for that company despite those things.
Now the question is what happened in the weeks and months that followed this particular decision? Well, it's not that I wasn't successful in UCW, it's that I wasn't the type of successful that I wanted to be, the type of successful I deserved to be. Old habits died hard for Vince and he made sure I never cracked the top of the card, and during one of the many times the company folded, my contract was terminated and my face was never seen in that company again.
CWF was no different except for the fact that I traveled in numbers, leading a crusade against the very thing that was keeping men like me down, the politics that kept the spotlight on certain people and no one else. If any company reeked of that politicism, it was CWF, but UCW, WWE, and WCW were all just as guilty. I had gone to CWF to remedy their problems, but it was a task myself, Truth, and Jesse Ventura could not accomplish so we left the company.
Now that the history lesson is over, let me tell you exactly what it is that I have come to this company for. Redemption. Every shortcoming I was subjected to, each time I was held down, for all the times my peers cut corners to pass me up and hold me back, I am going to have vengeance, holmes. I will go through every individual on this roster until I have enough of it to satisfy me, and then I will worry about adding championships to the resume'.
You have a volatile force on your hands Smackdown, and tonight it's going to send Edge to the burn ward. When I step through that curtain, the things I do are going to hurt you a lot more than they're going to hurt me.
Eddie drops the mic and removes his shirt as he awaits the arrival of his opponent.
Lillian Garcia: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 236 pounds, he is "The Rated R Superstar" Edge!
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME?
YOU DON’T KNOW ME!
[video=youtube;dKSJN3WWR3E]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKSJN3WWR3E[/video]
It's been a long time, been a long time comin
Looks like the death of me now
But you know, there's no turning back now
This is what makes me - this is what I am
Edge walks out and the boos from the crowd almost drown out the music
He simply smiles as the boos rain down on him. He makes it down to the middle of the ramp and does his signature pose.
He makes his way down to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope.
The bell rings and the first contest of the night is underway. Guerrero and Edge lock up to start the contest and it’s the Rated R Superstar who gets the upper hand by applying a side headlock. Guerrero steps backwards onto the near ropes and shoots Edge off to the far side of the ring. Edge runs the ropes and comes back at Guerrero, who leaves his feet and performs a spinning wheel kick. This sends the Rated R Superstar to the canvas and Guerrero goes for the first cover of the evening…
1…

Edge kicks out!
As Edge kicks out, Eddie grabs him by the hair and lifts him to his feet. Eddie throws Edge into the far corner of the ring. Edge hits the turnbuckle hard and Eddie goes right after him, driving his shoulder directly into Edge’s midsection. Edge’s breath escapes his lungs, but Guerrero isn’t finished. As Edge tries to catch his breath, Eddie grabs him by the arm. Guerrero quickly places his right foot on the bottom rope before pushing himself to the middle rope and finally the top rope…
JR: What in heaven’s name does Eddie Guerrero have planned?
Eddie Guerrero begins walking the top; he still has Edge’s arm in his control. Eddie walks halfway across the ropes, standing in between two of the four turnbuckles. Eddie then leaps off the top rope, wrapping his legs around Edge’s head, bringing the Rated R Superstar to the canvas with a hurricanarana. Edge’s neck bounces off the canvas as Guerrero goes for another cover…

2…
Edge kicks out!
Piper: Edge needs to get back in this!
After he kicks out, Edge rolls to the far side of the ring, trying to get away from Guerrero. Eddie will not be having any of that and as Edge sits in the corner, trying to back Guerrero up, Eddie patiently walks towards him. As Eddie gets close enough, Edge grabs him by the trunks and throws Guerrero face first into the second turnbuckle pad…
JR: And it looks like Edge just caught Eddie Guerrero with one of Guerrero’s own trademark moves.
Eddie’s face hits the turnbuckle, which stuns the former Latino Heat long enough for Edge to grab Eddie by the trunks and pull him to the mat with an inside cradle…
1…
2…
Guerrero kicks out!
Both men get to their feet at the same time and Guerrero wildly attempts a clothesline. Edge sees it coming and the Rated R grabs Guerrero by the back of the neck and brings him to the canvas with the Edge-O-Matic. Edge wastes no time hooking both legs and pinning Guerrero again…
1…
2…
Guerrero kicks out again!
Edge gets back to his feet, but Eddie Guerrero isn’t as fortunate. Latino Heat rolls onto his stomach and quickly gets back to a knee. Coming from his side is Edge, grabbing Guerrero and taking him to the canvas with a running bulldog. This takes Guerrero back to the canvas yet again, but this time, Edge does not go for a cover. Instead, he takes himself to the far corner of the ring and drops to a crouched position…
JR: And we know what’s coming next!
Piper: Ha! Edge is going to Spear that jumping bean into next week!
It seems as if Piper is right; Edge seems poised to Spear Eddie Guerrero. Guerrero is beginning to get to his feet and he has no idea of what is awaiting him. Edge becomes more and more anxious the closer Guerrero gets to his feet. Guerrero finally makes it to his feet and turns around. Edge soon charges out of the corner, looking for his trademark Spear. Guerrero is ready for it and he sidesteps Edge, causing Edge to run shoulder first into the steel ring pole. As Edge groans in pain from hitting the steel, Guerrero pulls him out of the corner and stacks him on his shoulders for a pinfall…
1…
2…
Edge kicks out!
Both men get to their feet at the same time and Edge looks for a clothesline of his own, but this time it’s Eddie who ducks under. Eddie quickly spins Edge around before throwing Edge’s arm over his shoulder and hoisting Edge into the air and back down onto the canvas with a vertical suplex. Instead of releasing Edge, Guerrero holds onto his adversary before popping his hips and bringing both men back to their feet. Guerrero is quick to act, suplexing Edge for the second consecutive time…
JR: Guerrero looking for the famous Three Amigos!
Eddie brings both Edge and himself back to their feet, looking for the third vertical suplex. Before he can, Edge blocks it. The Rated R Superstar then spins out of Guerrero’ grasp before kicking Guerrero in the stomach and applying a front face lock, bringing Eddie off the mat with an Edgecution DDT! Eddie’s head bounces off the mat and Edge rolls him onto his stomach for another cover…
1…
2…
Eddie kicks out!
Edge shakes his head in frustration as Eddie kicks out yet again. Edge grabs Eddie by the back of the head, preparing to lift him to his feet. Before he can, Eddie surprises Edge with the third vertical suplex out of nowhere. Edge hits the mat hard and Eddie rises back to his feet. Eddie leaves the ring through the middle rope and onto the ring apron. Guerrero scales his way to the top turnbuckle before looking out into the sea of people. The camera cuts close in on Guerrero’s face as he mutters the words “What about me?†before leaping off the top and landing hard on Edge with the Frog Splash!
JR: Frog Splash!
Eddie drives all of the air out of Edge’s chest before hooking the far leg and looking for victory…

Lillian Garcia: Here is your winner, Eddie Guerrero!
Guerrero gets to his feet and has his arm risen by the official. Guerrero doesn’t celebrate; instead he snatches his arm away and exits the ring, not basking in any form of glory. This is where Smackdown heads to commercial.
====================
====================
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the UWF World Heavyweight Championship. Introducing first, from West Newbury, Massachussetts, weighing in at 246 pounds, John Cena!
"BRRRRR - RAPIDOOOO!"
[video=youtube;52ZF1Foo6a4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=52ZF1Foo6a4[/video]
"My Time Is Now" starts playing and out walks John Cena onto the stage. As always, Cena is in his usual jovial mood. He runs across the stage, yelling and enjoying himself with the fans. Cena hads back center stage before throwing up his marine signal and running down the ramp before sliding into the ring. Once there, Cena throws his hat into the stands before waiting for his opponent.
Garcia: And his opponent, from Cameron, North Carolina, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is the NEW UWF World Heavyweight Champion; Jeff Hardy!
[video=youtube_share;NPqrGGAwjHE]http://youtu.be/NPqrGGAwjHE[/video]
"No More Words" bursts through the arena and the whole of the arena get up on their feet with some already clapping the imminent arrival of the new World Heavyweight Champion. The glow off the belt is the first thing you see as Hardy walks out onto the stage As the belt is draped over his shoulder he looks fired up as he casually makes his way to the ring.
He wastes no time in sprinting to the ring and sliding inside, before picking his belt back up, running up the turnbuckle and showing the whole of Detroit his new possession.
He pops down off of the turnbuckle and his music stops. With the belt now draped across his shoulder he has a microphone passed to him and he wastes no time preparing for the bell.

JR: And it is now time for the World Heavyweight Championship Match. Jeff Hardy will defend the Championship against the former Champion John Cena.
Piper: Let’s not forget the last time Cena challenged for the Championship Ross, he won it back.
JR: Very true Roddy, but Jeff Hardy has promised that he will not lose the World Heavyweight Championship on this night! Let’s go to Lillian Garcia for the introductions.
The bell rings as Jeff Hardy stands on one side of the ring while John Cena stands on the other. Hardy and Cena meet in the center of the ring and the two men shake hands. There’s obviously a mutual respect between both Champion and Challenger. That respect is gone once the two lock up and John Cena gets the upper hand using his brute strength. Cena pushes Hardy onto the far ropes before grabbing Hardy by the arm and Irish whips him to the far side of the ring. Hardy is able to counter and sends Cena into the ropes instead. As Hardy the ropes, he comes back at Cena who uses a stiff shoulder block which sends the Champion to the canvas. As Hardy lies on his back, Cena uses the near ropes to gain momentum before attempting a knee drop. Jeff Hardy is ready for it and rolls out of the way and Cena hits nothing but canvas. Jeff then uses the ropes the same way Cena did, looking to attack the Champion. Just like Hardy earlier, Cena is ready and John Cena sweeps the Champion’s leg, taking him to the canvas with a swift leg takedown. Hardy lands back first on the canvas and Cena jumps on top of him, attempting the first cover of this Championship contest…
1…
2…
Hardy kicks out!
As soon as Hardy kicks out, both men get to a knee. Cena looks to go back on the offensive but from a knee, Jeff Hardy is able to snap off an arm drag, which sends Cena flying. The Challenger’s momentum sends him across the ring, but he gets right back to his feet just in time to have Hardy perform another arm drag. The Champion’s got the momentum behind him and as both men get to their feet again, Jeff Hardy performs a standing dropkick that sends John Cena through the middle rope and to the arena floor. Cena lies on the floor before rolling onto his stomach and pushing himself to his feet. As Cena pushes himself up, Jeff Hardy comes running across the ring and leaps over the top rope and performs a somersault plancha…
JR: And Jeff Hardy continues to throw caution into the wind.
This deep into their rivalry, John Cena knows Jeff Hardy just as well as Jeff Hardy knows Jeff Hardy. As Hardy somersaults over the top rope, John Cena sidesteps him and Jeff Hardy hits nothing but the floor. The smack of Jeff Hardy’s back hitting the floor echoes throughout the arena. The creatures of the night all fall silent as their hero and their Champion lies on the arena floor. Cena knows that he has to get Jeff Hardy back into the ring, so he grabs Hardy by the back of the head and rolls him back into the ring under the bottom rope. Cena soon slides into the ring and covers the Champion…
1…
2…
Jeff Hardy kicks out!
Piper: Smart move by Cena! He knew he couldn’t win the World Heavyweight Championship on the outside!
Although Jeff Hardy may have kicked out, he’s not in the best shape. Cena gets off the Champion and slowly begins to stomp the back and spine of Jeff Hardy. Cena continues to lay his sneakers right into Hardy’s back as the World Champion tries to get back to his feet. Hardy pushes himself to a knee and John Cena stops his assault. Cena takes a few steps backwards as Hardy makes it to his feet, bending over in an attempt to regain his breath. Cena has Hardy in picture perfect. Cena runs towards Hardy before leaping over the bent over Champion, grabbing him by the neck and performing the over the top neckbreaker known as The Throwback. Hardy’s neck and face hit the mat hard and Cena soon goes for another cover…
1…
2…
Hardy kicks out again!
JR: And ever since Hardy crashed and burned earlier in this match, it’s been all John Cena.
After Hardy kicks out, the Champion rolls to the far corner of the ring, looking for a breather. The Challenger does not let him have it. Hardy pulls himself up in the corner, and John Cena grabs him by the arm and Irish whips him across the ring. Hardy ends up in the opposing corner and Cena rushes across the ring looking for a clothesline. Jeff Hardy is able to move out of the way at the last second and Cena hits nothing but turnbuckle pad. Hardy quickly positions himself behind the stunned Cena and grabs him by the head, taking the Cenation leader to the canvas with a reverse neckbreaker. Cena grabs his neck as Hardy floats over and goes for a cover…
1…
2…
Cena kicks out!
JR: Hardy almost caught Cena napping!
Cena rolls to the outside again, resting on the arena floor near the entrance ramp. Jeff Hardy soon rolls out of the ring on the opposing side and runs towards Cena. Cena starts pulling himself to his feet and has no idea Jeff Hardy is coming. Hardy continues to run towards his Challenger, turning the corner and running onto the barricade rail and using it to plancha onto John Cena…
Piper: That spot monkey does it again!
Both Cena and Hardy lie on the arena floor, exhausted from the beating that they’ve taken so far. The referee has a job to do so he must begin counting both men out…

Cena slides back outside of the ring.
JR: Cena doing the right thing yet again. A countout victory does him no good.
Cena grabs Hardy by the neck and lifts him to his feet before applying a bearhug. Cena then takes Hardy and drives his back right into the steel ring post. The Champion cries out in agony as Cena drops him onto the floor again before rolling back into the ring and breaking the count. Cena rolls back outside before grabbing Hardy by the hair and throwing him back into the ring. Cena slides right in after Hardy and covers him, hooking the far leg for good measure…
1…
2…
Hardy kicks out!
Piper: I think it’s only a matter of time before we have a new World Heavyweight Champion Ross.
Cena gets off Hardy and grabs the Champion by the hair again. Cena lifts Hardy to a knee and prepares to strike again. Hardy cuts him off at the pass and delivers a right hand to Cena’s stomach. Cena stops his assault as Hardy delivers a second right hand to Cena’s midsection. This blow doubles the Challenger over and allows Jeff Hardy to get back to his feet. Hardy starts fighting back, making sure to maintain his offense. Hardy delivers a right hand to Cena’s head, knocking the challenger backwards. Jeff Hardy delivers another right hand before attempting a mule kick. Cena blocks Hardy kick by grabbing his leg. Hardy counters Cena counter by using his good leg to propel himself into the air and catch Cena with a kick to the stomach. Cena is sent to the canvas and Hardy goes for another cover…
1…
2…
Cena kicks out!
JR: And the Champion will not die!
Now it’s John Cena who is on the ropes. Hardy goes after the Challenger, who is on his hands and knees after the reverse mule kick. Hardy grabs Cena by the head and lifts him to his feet. Hardy grabs Cena’s arm and throws it over his shoulder, before lifting Cena into the air and slamming him face first onto the canvas with a front suplex. Hardy slams Cena’s body right under the turnbuckle and as the Champion gets to his feet, he exits the ring through the middle rope and onto the apron. Hardy walks the apron and climbs to the top before throwing up the “Hand Gunz†and leaping off, performing the Swanton Bomb in midair…
JR: Swanton!
Cena is ready and manages to roll out of the way of Jeff Hardy’s high risk move. The Champion’s body hits the mat hard and both he and Cena lie motionless on the canvas. Neither man shows any sign of life, so once again the referee must begin his 10-count…

Jeff Hardy gets up in the center of the ring. Meanwhile Cena, who is standing in the corner runs towards the far ropes and comes back at Hardy before delivering a running shoulder tackle to the Champion…
Piper: Here we go!
Hardy hits the canvas but gets back to his feet just as Cena runs the ropes again and hits him with another running shoulder tackle. Hardy hits the canvas again, but manages to get to his feet again. The Champion swings at the Champion wildly and Cena ducks under it. After he ducks under, Cena manages to hoist Hardy up into the air before hitting the spinout powerbomb. John Cena gets back to his feet and throws his right arm in the air. The Oregon fans begin to react to the Cenation Leader. The arena becomes filled with the trademark “Let’s Go Cena, Cena Sucks†chants. It repeats itself over and over again as John Cena stands over Jeff Hardy’s body and motions to the Champion that “You Can’t See Me†before bouncing off the near ropes and dropping the Five Knuckle Shuffle down onto Jeff Hardy’s face…
JR: And you have to know what is coming next!
Cena gets back to a vertical base and begins to stalk the World Heavyweight Champion. Cena tugs on his jean shorts as Hardy tries to get to his feet. The World Champion begins to move around; he has no idea that Cena is ready for him. Hardy staggers to his feet and Cena immediately pounces. He spins Hardy around before lifting him onto his shoulders and putting him in position for the Attitude Adjustment…
Piper: New Champion Ross! New Champion!
Before Cena can slam Hardy onto the canvas, the World Champion counters the Attitude Adjustment by throwing elbows to the side of Cena’s skull. This causes Cena to drop Hardy. The World Champion then runs the ropes, looking to go back on the offensive. Cena is ready for him and as Hardy comes back towards the Challenger, Cena performs a drop toe hold which takes Hardy to the canvas. Cena then grabs Hardy by the leg, stepping over it and applying his patented STF submission hold. The Champion gasps for air as Cena applies as much pressure to the STF as he can. John Cena senses the World Heavyweight Championship is within his reach. Jeff Hardy on the other hand needs to get the ring ropes within his reach. Hardy scratches and claws at the canvas, trying to get closer and closer to the ropes. As Hardy gets closer, Cena applies more pressure. The Challenger yells “Tap†repeatedly to the Champion. The official asks Hardy if he wants to quit and the Champion refuses. Hardy continues to crawl towards the rope and reaches out, trying to grab the bottom one…
JR: Hardy’s fingertips away from the bottom rope. Reach out Jeff!
Hardy takes JR’s advice and reaches out, getting a firm grip on the bottom rope. The official tells Cena to break the hold, but the Challenger will not relent. Cena does not release the hold and the referee tries to pull Cena off Hardy before threatening to disqualify the Challenger…
1…

Cena releases the hold before the count of five!
JR: John Cena has thrown everything at the Champion and it hasn’t been enough!
Cena gets to his feet and sighs in disbelief. He doesn’t know if he can keep Jeff Hardy down on this night. The Champion refocuses before exiting the ring through the middle rope and making his way from the ring apron to the top rope. As Cena reaches the top, Jeff Hardy makes it to a knee. Cena wastes no time leaping off the top before delivering a top rope leg drop to the back of Jeff Hardy’s head and neck. The Champion’s body sprawls out on the canvas as Cena turns him over and covers him yet again…
1…
JR: That’s got to be it!
2…
3…NO! Jeff Hardy rolls a shoulder!
Piper: Cena can’t beat Hardy Ross!
JR: You may just be right Roddy!
Cena gets back to his feet and shakes his head. Jeff Hardy tries to get to his feet, but the match has obviously taken its toll on him. Jeff staggers and Cena grabs him right away, throwing Hardy back onto his shoulders…
JR: This may do it!
Cena look ready to deliver the Attitude Adjustment, but Hardy quickly slides down the Challenger’s back before spinning him around and kicking Cena right in the stomach. Cena doubles over and Hardy grabs him by the head, hitting Cena with the Twist of Fate to a huge pop from the crowd…
Piper: Twist of Fate!
Jeff Hardy doesn’t go for the cover. Instead he leaves the ring and heads onto the ring apron. Hardy removes his shirt and throws it into the fans to the delight of the people. Hardy soon climbs the top rope and wastes no time jumping off the top and performing the awe inspiring Swanton Bomb. This time, Hardy connects, landing right on top of John Cena and driving all the air out of his lungs. The fans get to their feet as an exhausted Jeff Hardy crawls backwards to John Cena and covers him, hoping for victory…
1…

3…
JR: Bah God! It’s finally over!
Lillian Garcia: Here is your winner and still UWF World Heavyweight Champion; Jeff Hardy!!!
JR: Hardy did it! Hardy did it!
Endeavorafter’s “No More Words†plays as the fans get to their feet at the contest they just witnessed. The official is handed the World Heavyweight Championship from ringside and hands it to Jeff Hardy as the World Champion struggles to get to his feet. Hardy accepts the title before falling back to the canvas. Hardy looks towards the fallen Cena and manages to get to his feet. Hardy reaches down and grabs Cena by the arm, bringing the former Champion back to a vertical base. Cena is in just as bad of shape as Hardy is, and the two exchange an uncomfortable stare. Hardy is the first to act, extending his hand to John Cena. Cena looks at Hardy cautiously before accepting the handshake…
Piper: Ugh! Makes me sick!
JR: Be quiet Roddy! It’s about damn time we had some sportsmanship on this show!
Hardy and Cena continue to shake hands until Mister Money in The Bank Bray Wyatt runs down the entrance ramp. Wyatt slides into the ring and goes right after Cena, tackling the former World Champion and bringing him to the canvas. Wyatt rains down on Cena with right hands until Jeff Hardy intervenes. Hardy pulls Wyatt off Cena and starts delivering rights of his own to Mister Money in The Bank. Wyatt hits Hardy with a low blow, stopping the Champion’s momentum. Wyatt looks to go back to Cena, but Cena is ready for him. Wyatt looks for a clothesline, but Cena ducks under it and hoists Wyatt onto his shoulders…
JR: Attitude Adjustment!
Before Cena can deliver the Attitude Adjustment, the new Television Champion Daniel Bryan runs down the ramp and attacks Cena. Now it’s Wyatt and Bryan beating the hell out of Cena. The fans boo as the attack continues.
JR: YES is nothing more than a pack of dogs!
The fans continue to boo until the boos turn into cheers. Running down the ramp is YES’ personal assistant Dean Ambrose. Ambrose slides into the ring and gets right into Daniel Bryan’s face. Bryan looks right at Ambrose and begs him to hit him…
Piper: Hit him Ambrose! Hit him and he’ll fire you on the spot!
Ambrose knows that he can’t touch Bryan. But his intrusion has given John Cena and Jeff Hardy enough time to recuperate…
JR: This is bedlam!
Hardy causes Bryan to retreat from the ring, while Cena forces Wyatt out. Cena exits the ring and chases after Wyatt. Ambrose wants Daniel Bryan, so he exits the ring as well and chases after his “bossâ€. The only person in the ring is World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy. Hardy poses with the title until one more person interrupts. And that one person is Number One Contender Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler comes from out of nowhere behind Hardy and delivers a Zig Zag to the Champion. Ziggler grabs the World Title and holds it high in the air as…
Time To Play The Game!!!
JR: What?

Motorhead's "Time To Play The Game" begins to play and the fans get to their feet in cheers. Everyone turns their head towards the stage as COO Triple H makes his way out. This isn't the Triple H that we're used to seeing. This is the corporate Triple H. The suit and tie wearing Triple H. He's got a huge smile on his face as Dolph Ziggler keeps his eye on him. Triple H has a mic in his hand and wastes no time beginning to speak as his muic fades.
Triple H: Well Smackdown, I must say, there's a lot of things different since the last time I was here. New World Champion, no General Manager, a couple new faces. But the one thing that has stayed the same is the Y.E.S still seems to think that they are in control. Granted they did win at Survivor Series which gave them control of Smackdown for a month, but that month is almost over. In two weeks time, Smackdown will no longer be in Y.E.S' control and a new General Manager will be named.
The fans cheer YES no longer having control of Smackdown.
Triple H: But that being said, I'm obviously here for a reason. That Board of Directors has decided that while Y.E.S may control Smackdown, someone needs to control Y.E.S. And that someone is me! So I'm here to make a few major announcements in regards to Smackdown and the upcoming New Years Revoultion Pay-Per-View. The first announcement involves the World Heavyweight Championship and the man standing in the ring right now.
Ziggler, still holding the World Championship, holds it high and points to himself.
Triple H: Due to his victory at Survivor Series, Dolph Ziggler is entitled to a World Heavyweight Championship match. And I have decided that at New Years Revolution, he will get it. Sunday December 30th, it will be Jeff Hardy versus Dolph Ziggler for the World Heavyweight Championship!
There's a mixed reaction from the fans as Ziggler rejoices in the ring.
Triple H: But that's not it! It seems as over the past few weeks, there has been an issue between John Cena and Mister Money in The Bank Bray Wyatt. Wyatt has been trying to cash in his contract and Cena has been preventing it. So at New Years Revolution, they'll fight there issues at. It'll be Bray Wyatt versus John Cena.
Triple H: And last but not least. There's a certain beard faced power hungry Champion who is running around giving orders. Daniel Bryan, you have made Dean Ambrose play the role of your assistant. And I think it's obvious to everyone hear that Dean Ambrose wants nothing more than to kick your ass again. But as long as he's under your control, he can't. Luckily for Ambrose, New Years Revoultion is after your little month power trip comes to an end. So there will be nothing stopping Ambrose from beating you like he always has. So at New Years Revolution, I'm making it official. It'll be Dean Ambrose versus Daniel Bryan.
The fans get to their feet hoping to see Bryan get what's coming to him.
Triple H: I've got one more announcement. It's come to my attention that it's been quite some time since the Tag Team Champions have put their titles on the line, and that's just unacceptable. So next week, the team of Daniel Bryan and Bray Wyatt will defend Y.E.S' Tag Team Championship aganist the team of John Cena...and Dean Ambrose!
Smackdown goes off the air for the week with the camera panning in on a smiling Triple H.
