Christian has retained the I.C title from Edge, thanks to the giant man. Captain Charisma celebrates on top of the ladder, as the man releases the handcuffs, and Edge runs through the crowd back to the ring.
Christian sees him coming, and gets off the ladder, and hightails it up the ramp, away from Edge who is in total fury at his loss. Christian then gets to the top of the ramp, and calls up the huge man, who joins him at the top of the ramp, and they celebrate, and we see that Christian’s plan has worked……
Jim Ross: This is not right. Christian is a lousy piece of trash, that has just cheated his way to victory. By the way folks it was Tables Ladders and Chairs, in a one on one situation, not a handicap Tables, Ladders, Handcuffs and Chairs.
Jerry Lawler: Don’t tell me your jealous of him too J.R!!! Look at him go!!! Captain Charisma!!!
Preview airs for Smackdown’s next PPV, Judgement Day, which will take place on May 12th, in Vancouver.
We then cut to the SD locker room, and see Rey Mysterio and Tajiri chatting…
Mysterio: (Talks in Mexican)
Tajiri: (Talks in Japanese)
Mysterio: (Talks in Mexican)
The two then nod at one another, pretending they knew what the other said, gathering one or two laughs from the crowd.

The twenty men stand in the ring, all wary of were to go, as the bell rings for the match to begin. Immediately, Test and Steiner team up to take on Booker T and Goldust, while Honky Tonk drops to the bottom rope, trying to hide from the rest. Matt Morgan takes on Hurricane, and totally throttles him, William Regal and Lance Storm double team RVD, Sting takes on Kanyon, Steamboat then goes at it with Raven, Chris Nowinski battles with Billy Gunn, and the others all brawl in the near left corner. Test and Steiner try to eliminate BookDust, but Sting saves the two Raw guys, and tips Test over the top, for the very first elimination!!!
Elimination 1: Test
Steiner then goes at it with Sting, in a bad mood with Sting, after eliminating his partner. Big Poppa Pump tries to eliminate Sting, but after going over the top, Sting rolls back in under the bottom rope, not hitting the floor. A-Train is then ganged up on by the majority of the Raw superstars, who all want some revenge on the big man after his attack on them last week on Raw. A-Train fights them off though, then he goes to work on Goldust.
Meanwhile, Honky Tonk still goes unnoticed, hiding in the bottom corner, whilst everyone fights around him. Regal and Storm start to team up and try to eliminate Matt Hardy, but are unsuccessful, as Hurricane comes to Hardy’s aid. Christopher Nowinski tries to eliminate Steamboat, but the Dragon skins the cat, and comes back in, then clotheslines Nowinski over the top rope for the second elimination of the match.
Elimination 2: Christopher Nowinski
Nowinski smacks the apron in fury, after being eliminated and is ushered away by officials before being able to go for revenge on the legend. Steamboat takes no time to celebrate the elimination, and goes right after Kanyon. Booker T faces off with Rhyno, while Regal takes on Sting, Storm takes on Hurricane, Steiner tries to eliminate RVD, Matt Morgan dominates Matt Hardy, Rene Dupree tries to eliminate Goldust, and A-Train takes on Billy Gunn, and Raven tries to help him eliminate The One.
Raven then turns on A-Train and starts to try and topple him over. Billy Gunn then rounds up a bunch of the stars to try and help eliminate A-Train. Booker T, Rhyno, RVD, Goldust and Rene Dupree all try to eliminate the colossal A-Train, but the 350 pounder survives. He boots down Raven, clotheslines Gunn, hit’s the de-railer on RVD, the Train Wreck on Booker T, then clubs down the rest. He poses at the crowd who tell him to shave his back. Then, Hurricane bounces off the ropes, and connects with a flying cross body, which takes Train by surprise and sends him over the top rope!!!!!
Elimination 3: A-Train
A-Train is in shock after being eliminated by the smallest man in the match, but officials pull him away from the ring before he can try to go after him. Ford Field goes nuts, in disbelief that Hurricane eliminated A-train whilst a number of stars together failed.
Honky Tonk is still hiding in the corner, yet to be noticed, until he is spotted by the Hurricane!!! Hurricane points at him as if he is some sort of criminal, then does his superhero pose. He taps Sting on the shoulder and points out Honky Tonk, then does the same with Booker T, Goldust, RVD, and Matt Hardy. They all close in towards Honky Tonk who sits up in the corner, begging them to leave him alone. They all look to each other, and then look at him and say no. Honky Tonk looks ready to cry, as Hurricane grabs him by the quiff of his hair, then the rest of the guys all attack him. Booker pounds and chops him in the corner, then Goldust hit’s the Shattered Dreams on him, before Sting powers in with a Stinger Splash. Honky Tonk staggers out of the corner, holding his nuts, and is then kicked over the top rope by Rob Van Dam.
Elimination 4: Honky Tonk Man
RVD gives Honky Tonk the thumb salute, as Honky still holds his nuts, but gets even more irate with being eliminated so early. Meanwhile, Lance Storm goes for a suplex on Hurricane for an elimination, but Hurricane lands on the apron, and gets back in, then chucks Storm over the top for another elimination. He has eliminated two people.
Elimination 5: Lance Storm
Hurricane celebrates after pulling off another elimination!! Storm is irate, but gives into defeat and walks off. Meanwhile, we see Honky Tonk Man come back down while the referees are distracted, and he creeps into the ring, with a guitar in hand, and blasts Goldust with the guitar shot, knocking him out. He then backs out, but is met by Booker T. Book looks down at the body of Goldust, and then says to Honky Tonk, “Tell me, you did not just do that!!†Honky says he didn’t, even though he still has part of the weapon in his hand, and Goldust is surrounded by guitar debris. Booker shakes his head, then begins to wail on Honky Tonk. He sets him up for the Scissors Kick, but Matt Morgan stops him with a thunderous clothesline.
Honky Tonk quickly recovers and gets out of the ring, and escapes through the crowd. Morgan sees Goldust out cold, then picks him up, and chucks him out of the ring to the floor.
Elimination 6: Goldust
Goldust is helped out by officials up the ramp, after the vicious elimination from Morgan. Matt Morgan now looks to be getting more confident. He boots Hurricane down, then is set to go for the elimination on him, but Matt Hardy stops him. Morgan drops Hurricane, then clotheslines his old enemy, Matt Hardy. He scoops Hardy up, then hits three rib breakers, before bieling him out of the ring to the floor.
Elimination 7: Matt Hardy
Morgan poses again, after showing his strength again, eliminating Hardy, who takes a good while to get back to his feet. Morgan then charges toward one of the corners, which has five men, all trying to eliminate one another. He knocks down RVD, then Billy Gunn, then boots Raven to the floor, and hit’s a double clothesline on Kanyon and Sting.
Rene Dupree then tries to take on Morgan, but he is easily knocked away, as is Regal. Morgan then hit’s a big splash into the corner on Steiner and Booker T, with neither seeing him coming. He hit’s a sidewalk slam on Steamboat, then hit’s a spine buster to the Hurricane. He then is left with only Rhyno standing to face him. The two make their way to the centre, both growling, as the crowd rises to its feet, dying to see these two bulls go at it. Rhyno throws the first punch, then Morgan drives his knee. He clubs Rhyno to the ground, then picks him up for a bear hug, but Rhyno fights out, and hit’s a spine buster on Morgan to a huge pop. He then gets ready to hit the Gore, with 55,000+ chanting for the Gore. He goes for it, but Morgan moves, and Rhyno runs into the corner. Morgan then goes for a whip, but Rhyno ducks the boot, and comes back with a GORE!!! Rhyno then gets Matt Morgan up, but cant get him over the top. He tries to clothesline him over the top rope, but this doesn’t work. He then bounces off the ropes for a running clothesline, but Morgan gets a boot up, and dumps Rhyno over the top!!!
Elimination 8: Rhyno
Rhyno cant believe he has been eliminated, as Morgan starts to look more confident with each elimination he makes. He then spots Hurricane in the corner and goes to work. Meanwhile, Scott Steiner is working over Booker, and begins to do his pump up with the arms, kissing the muscles. He goes to bounce off the ropes, but as he does, Booker T knocks him over the top with a Harlem Side Kick, and sends Big Poppa Pump to the floor.
Elimination 9: Scott Steiner
Steiner tries to get back in right away, but officials just about manage to keep him out, and send him back to the locker room. Morgan completely obliterates Hurricane in the corner, but Hurricane starts to stage a fight back. He fires right hands, then his superhero pose, before bouncing off the ropes, but as he comes back, Morgan turns him inside out with a devastating clothesline. He then powerbombs Hurricane over the top rope to the floor for an unreal elimination.
Elimination 10: Hurricane
EMT’s race out to attend to Hurricane after the brutal elimination. Morgan just laughs, and goes right back to work, this time, going after RVD. He beats at RVD in the corner with knees and elbows.
Now left in the match is Booker T, Matt Morgan, RVD, Raven, Sting, Kanyon, Rene Dupree, William Regal, Billy Gunn and of course, Ricky Steamboat. Exactly half of the competitors have been eliminated at this point, with 5 Raw superstars remaining, four SD and one legend. Regal tries to get Sting over the top rope, but fails, then bounces off the ropes, and comes at Sting, but Sting sees him coming at him, and ducks him, hitting a back body drops the Englishman all the way to the floor.
Elimination 11: William Regal
Regal is eliminated, and gets into an argument with a rowdy fan, then makes his way back up the ramp. Meanwhile, Matt Morgan still looks unstoppable. He hit’s a Pumphandle Slam on RVD, then a press slam on Booker T, followed by a clotheslines to each of the other competitors remaining, except Raven. Raven rolls to the outside, and looks under the ring, picking out a trashcan full of weapons. He throws them into the ring, whilst holding a stop sign. Morgan tells him to bring it on, and Raven smiles. He charges at Morgan and nails him with the stop sign. Morgan though, doesn’t fall, but instead staggers around the ring. RVD picks up the steel chair, and throws it at Morgan. The seven footer catches it, and RVD then hit’s the Van Daminator, knocking Morgan down.
Steamboat, Booker, Sting, Gunn, RVD and Raven then drag Morgan up, and together they all eventually manage to drop him over the top rope, despite his resistance, to the floor.
Elimination 12: Matt Morgan
Morgan is irate. He tries to get back in, but is kicked away by all the remaining superstars, then escorted backstage by officials.
Raven then nails RVD with a trashcan, and tries to eliminate him, but has no luck in doing so. Dupree nearly gets Kanyon out, but Billy Gunn saves Kanyon and hit’s the Fame Asser on Dupree. Kanyon then says thank you to Gunn for saving him, but blindsiding him and toppling him over the top rope to the floor.
Elimination 13: Billy Gunn
Kanyon celebrates, whilst Billy is furious over his elimination, but leaves anyway. Booker T and Sting go at it in one corner, chop for chop, whilst in another, Steamboat is resting, and Raven tries to eliminate RVD still, but still has no luck doing so. Kanyon goes after the legendary Steamboat. They too go chop for chop in the corner.
Dupree then tries to get back to his feet, after taking a big time finishing manoeuvre just a moment ago. Raven hit’s the Even Flow on RVD, then stomps at the Whole Dam Show, before bouncing off the ropes, but as he comes back, Van Dam hit’s a Monkey Flip, which sends Raven over the top rope, straight to the floor!!!
Elimination 14: Raven
Raven is helped backstage by officials, as he shows that he may have injured his neck on the way out of the ring. RVD tries to recover, but doesn’t get the chance, as Dupree comes right after him. RVD gets the best of it with a spinning heel kick, followed by a Rolling Thunder, but then he goes up top for the 5 Star, but Dupree has been playing possum, and he jumps right to his feet, and pushes RVD off the top rope, to the floor!!!
Elimination 15: Rob Van Dam
Dupree does the French Tickler, celebrating the elimination, but his cockiness nearly gets him eliminated, as Sting comes from behind to dump him out, but Dupree just survives. He then rakes the eyes of Sting, allowing himself some time to rest. Meanwhile, Steamboat chops at Booker T in the corner, but that is stopped by Kanyon, who comes in with a splash to both men, then he tries to eliminate Steamboat, but the legend, fights back, staying in the match. He then nearly dumps Kanyon over, but Kanyon furiously throws right hands to stay in the contest.
Now, Kanyon goes for a suplex on Steamboat, but The Dragon counters, and back body drops Kanyon, who goes over the top, but hangs onto the top rope. One of his feet tough the floor, and only due to his grip, he is still in the match. Steamboat chops at Kanyon’s hands, and one lets go. He then tries to get the second hand to release the rope, but then Rene Dupree comes from behind, and dumps Steamboat over the top rope, to the floor!!!!!!
Elimination 16: Ricky Steamboat
Ford Field boo’s intensely as Steamboat has been eliminated. They start a bullshit chant, then a Steamboat chant, as the Dragon salutes to the fans on his way out, having just gave a great performance.
The final four are Dupree, Kanyon, Booker T and Sting. The four each take a corner, and stare across at each other. Kanyon makes a beeline for Sting, and Dupree goes at it with Booker T. Kanyon and Sting go punch for punch, and the intensity picks up between them, that both of them are nearly eliminated at the same time. In the other corner, Dupree has one of Bookers legs over the top, and tries to get the other, but fails to do so, as Booker fights back in, and dropkicks Dupree. Booker T then comes to the other corner, and takes on Kanyon, but Kanyon scores with a low blow to Sting, then another to Booker, before going for the Grand Kanyon, but Booker T elbows him away, and clotheslines him over the top rope, to the floor!!!!
Elimination 17: Kanyon
Booker and Kanyon argue, as Kanyon is irate with being eliminated. Kanyon distracts Book, while Dupree quickly dumps him out!!!
Elimination 18: Booker T
Booker and Kanyon then brawl up the ramp, with Booker T furious, while in the ring, we are down to just two.
Sting and Dupree circle the ring, then tie up. Sting scores with an arm drag, and the tries to get Dupree out early, but he fights backs, and clotheslines Sting down.

Dupree pulls himself up in the corner, and Sting comes at him for a Stinger Splash, but Dupree moves, then tries to dump him out over the top, but Sting barely survives……and stays in!!! He chops at Dupree, then whips him off the ropes, and lowers his head, but Dupree kicks him away, then hit’s a running knee, knocking Sting down.
He then tries to get the Raw superstar out, but Sting again survives, and gets back in. He hit’s a side suplex on Dupree, then tries to eliminate the Frenchman, but Dupree rakes the eyes, then hit’s a neck breaker on Sting. He picks him up from the Dupree Driver, but Sting fights out, and nails an arm drag, followed by a dropkick into the corner, then Sting finally nails the Stinger Splash. Dupree staggers out, and Sting goes for a clothesline over the top, but Rene ducks, and tries to clothesline Sting over, but he hangs on, then skins the cat, grabbing Dupree using his legs, and eliminating the Frenchman!!!!!
Elimination 19: Rene Dupree
Winner; STING!!!!!
Sting survives the twenty men, and has won this awesome battle royal. He stands alone in the ring, celebrating the win, as Dupree, obviously disgruntled, heads up the ramp in disappointment.
Jim Ross: A great performance from Sting, King. A great WrestleMania battle royal!!!
Jerry Lawler: We knew someone from Raw would win J.R, I mean we are the superior brand after all!!!
Edge walks backstage, in an absolute rage, and grabs Brian Hebner…
Edge: Where the hell is that creepy, little, bastard!!! Tell me now, or you will be the unfortunate one who ends up getting his ass kicked!!
Brian Hebner: I just saw him jump into a cab. I’m sorry, he just picked up his things and left.
Edge lets go of Hebner, then flips over a table, and growls before storming off…
WrestleMania moment: WrestleMania 13; Bret Hart takes on Stone Cold in a Submission Match, and wins after Austin passes out.
We see Mick Foley walking backstage, coming back from the Hall of Fame ceremony, and notices that his office door is open. He slowly walks into the room, and sees a man, sitting in his chair, eating ice cream. The man has scraggily hair, and is wearing a white jacket with a red trim.
Mick Foley: (Smiling) Excuse me?? What are you doing??
Strange Man: Eugene.
Mick Foley: What??
Eugene: Eugene. (The man points to a sticker, which has his name, Eugene, written on it. It is a backstage pass for the show.)
Mick Foley: Ohhhh, you’re Eugene. You must be with the group. You must have got lost, because this isn’t part of the tour.
Eugene: I’m a wrestler.
Mick Foley: Yes, I’m sure you are Eugene, and I’m Mick Foley.
Eugene: SOCCCKKKKKO!!!!!
A woman then walks in, like a tour guide, and looks unhappy with Eugene…
Woman: There you are!!! C’mon Eugene, we’ve been looking for you for ages!!!
Eugene: No, I’m a wrestler. I want to be in the ring!!! Let me fight Randy Orton!!! Let me fight Brock Lesnar!!!
Mick Foley: Maybe next year Eugene. Who knows, eh?? Enjoy the show kid!!!
We then cut to the locker room, where Josh Matthews and Coach are still brawling with one another like two girls, rolling on the ground, slapping at each other. Both the men have ripped suits from the fight, and Coach tries to run away, as we cut back to ringside…
**Who‘s that jumping out the sky… hits in the arena, and we see the first of the six competitors in the CW title match, Rey Mysterio**
Tony Chimel: The following contest, is the six pack challenge for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship!!! Introducing first, weighing 189 pounds, Rey Mysterio!!!

Tony Chimel: Weighing in at 204 pounds, AKIO!!!!
Michael Cole: A WrestleMania debut for this man Tazz. Akio, with the chance to take the gold for the first time.

**Tajiri‘s music hits, and the Cruiserweight Champion makes his way to the ring carrying his belt, to another decent pop**
Tony Chimel: And introducing the current WWE Cruiserweight Champion, TAJIRI!!!!
Michael Cole: He is the champion, but tonight, he is facing a huge task. Can he hold on to the gold!!!???

London then arm drags Mysterio, all the way over the top to the floor. Tajiri comes at London, but London leapfrogs him, then hit’s a reverse DDT. London jumps up top, and nails the Shooting Star Press on Tajiri. He then revives the referee, who counts the fall…

Winner; And…NEWWWWWWWW, Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero!!!
Chavo steals the win!!! Guerrero quickly rolls out of the ring, and picks up the Cruiserweight Title, before getting up the ramp as soon as he can. We then look at the carnage around the ringside area, with Akio laid out in the crowd, Mysterio, Noble and London on the outside, and Tajiri in shock.
Michael Cole: Chavo steals it!!!! We have a new champion, and once again, its Chavo!!! Only five weeks ago, he was beaten for it by Tajiri, but now the tables have turned.
Tazz: Cole, I had a feeling it would be Chavo. He took advantage of the situation here tonight, and he is now the champion!!!
A video plays, hyping a new superstar coming to the WWE, Simon Dean, hyping the Simon System…
Torrie Wilson is standing in the crowd with a microphone in hand…
Torrie Wilson: How is everybody doing tonight!!!
Crowd pops, and wolf whistles…
Torrie Wilson: And I’m here standing by with some of our international fans, who have travelled all around the world just to be here at Ford Field this evening. I’m here right now with Calum from England!!! Calum, are you enjoying the show??
Calum: (A little drunk) I’m great Torrie!!! I’m loving the show!!! You look hot!!!
Crowd cheers, agreeing with his comment.
Torrie Wilson: Thank you Calum. Well, so far we’ve seen a heck of a lot of action, but what match did you come to see especially??
Calum: (Slurring his words) Definitely Brock Lesnar vs. Stone Cold!!! And I came to see you too!! Almost literally!!!
Crowd cheers again, agreeing with the innuendo…
Torrie Wilson: Thank you Calum, and Stacey, I believe you are with someone in the crowd too??
Calum: Did you know my toe has an ear on it??
Quickly cuts to Stacey…
Stacey Kiebler: I sure am Torrie. Scott here, travelled all the way from Australia!!!!! Scott, Calum came to see Torrie by the looks of things, but what MATCH did you come to see here tonight??
Scott: Well, the match I’ve looked forward to most is the Triple H verses the Rock match!!! Triple H is the game!!!
Stacey Kiebler: Me too, I cant wait for that one!!! Enjoy the rest of the show Scott!!!
Stacey hugs him, and then turns away, but Scott pinches her ass. She turns around, and doesn’t know whether to laugh, or be offended, as we see Scott with a huge smile across his face, giving the thumbs up to the camera.
Torrie Wilson: Well, over here, it seems to be full of English people, because I’m about to talk to Michael, who has travelled from London just to see the show tonight.
Michael: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! WRESTLEMANIA!!!!! CHELSEA!!! CHELSEA!!! CHELSEA!!!
Torrie Wilson: It seems to me that the British section is the most rowdy, what do they put in the drink over there??
Michael: Not enough!!!!! C’mon you Blues!!! Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole!!!
Torrie Wilson: I think we better send it back to you guys at ringside.
Michael: Can you give me a kiss on the cheek Torrie??
Torrie Wilson: Ummmm….what the heck, it’s the WrestleMania after all!!!
Torrie pecks him on the cheek, as the crowd go nuts!!!
We then quickly cut to the stage, where we see the fight between Josh Matthews and Coach has broken to the arena. Coach gives Josh a noogie, then goes to pound him, but Josh moves, and Coach punches the steel ramp. He holds his hand in agony, and Josh drops an elbow on him, then pulls his trousers down, and the rest of his clothes, leaving just his wyfronts and socks left on. Coaches wyfronts have a picture of Britney Spears, which Matthews points out, and the crowd laugh at Coach. Coach then quickly tells the fans to screw themselves, and picks up his clothes, then runs backstage again, as Josh celebrates this win.

**GONG-GONG-GONG-GONG…Undertakers music plays and the Deadman slowly follows Paul Bearer out to the ring, to a monstourous reception from the capacity crowd, who go wild for the legend**
Howard Finkel: The following contest, is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his way to the ring, accompanied by Paul Bearer, from Death Valley, weighing 294 pounds, THEEEE UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDERTAKER!!!!
**Taker slowly, creepily walks up the steps, and slowly brings the lights back into the arena to another big pop.**
Jim Ross: We are set to see these two legends of the square circle get it on. They have met before, but never under such a huge spotlight. The Undertaker is unbeaten at WrestleMania, but if anyone can end that record, it’s the Showstopper, and he doesn’t have that name for nothing folks…
Jerry Lawler: Finally, some sense from ya J.R!!! I have this gut feeling, that despite the differences in size and strength, I think the new attitude from Michaels will see a huge upset here tonight!!!
**H-B-K plays, and the Showstopper makes his cocky way to the ring, getting some girly cheers, but these are drowned out by boo‘s from the crowd.**

**HBK doesn’t even look towards the ring, and doesn’t notice Taker walking up the ramp towards HBK, and then finally does halfway up the ramp**
Jim Ross: This is gonna be ugly King. Taker ain’t even waiting for HBK to get to the ring!!!
Jerry Lawler: I have a bad feeling about this one J.R!!!
9th Match:
Showstopper vs. Deadman:
Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker w/ Paul Bearer
Taker beats away at HBK, finally able to get his hands on the Showstopper, and now he is making up for lost time, knocking HBK all over the ramp way. HBK tries to crawl away, but Undertaker grabs him by the tights, and pulls him back, not allowing him to get away. He drops an elbow to the prone back of Michaels twice, and then stomps at his opponent.
Undertaker picks Michaels up off the ground, and rams him into the barrier along the ramp way. He then whips him to the opposite side, and drives his knee into the face of Michaels, then drags him to the ringside area, and bangs his head off the steel steps. Michaels has yet to gain any offence, and the match still hasn’t begun. The Deadman then places HBK on the apron, and elbows him in the face, then gets on the apron himself, and hit’s a leg drop to Michaels, who falls off the apron upon impact.
Undertaker then paces along ringside, following Michaels, who is crawling along the ringside area, looking totally beaten down. HBK then tries to pull himself up on Taker, and is knocked back down with a soup bone from Taker. Undertaker continues to stalk Michaels around ringside, then stops, and walks over to the timekeepers table, and takes a chair. He grabs the chair, and walks toward Michaels, who is still crawling around, and Taker smashes the chair across the back of the Heartbreak Kid, and keep in mind, the match has yet to officially begin, so Taker cannot be disqualified right now.
The Deadman then hit’s a catapult into the ringpost on HBK, and follows up with a clothesline on the staggering Michaels. The referee, Jack Doan then tells Taker to get it into the ring, but the Deadman totally blanks him. Meanwhile, Shawn crawls over the barrier, trying to get some distance between him and Undertaker. Taker follows though, and the brawl finds itself in the crowd. HBK tries to run away, but trips over a cable, and the Deadman begins to close in on HBK, but the Showstopper in a desperate attempt, grabs a carton of popcorn, and chucks it at Taker, then a cup of water. He gets to his feet, and begins to run through the crowd, looking back continuously as Taker continues to come after him. HBK grabs a chair, and throws it at the Deadman, then grabs another, and throws it, and another and another. Taker though, squats the chairs away like flies.
Michaels then finds himself back at the entrance way, and grabs a chair again, this time though, he doesn’t throw it, but instead waits for Taker, and levels him with the weapon. Two shots to the face send the Deadman to his knees, and then another two to the back. He chucks the chair down, and starts to badmouth the crowd, but while he does this, Taker sits up. He gets to his feet, while HBK is still arguing with fans, then as Michaels turns around, he is met with a boot to the face from the Deadman, and goes right back down.
Taker then picks HBK by the hair, and rams him into the WrestleMania super structure, and knocks him down with another big right hand. Undertaker then stomps him all the way back down the ramp, towards the ring. The Deadman picks up the Heartbreak Kid and rams him into the ring apron again, then smashes him with an elbow, and rolls him back into the ring. Taker then follows, but before Jack Doan can signal for the bell to start the match, Undertaker knocks him down with a right hand, then throws him out of the ring. The Deadman then takes down Michaels with a sidewalk slam, and rolls back out of the ring, and grabs the cable. He carries it into the ring, and begins to choke out Shawn with the cable. He keeps the cable around Michaels neck, then whips him off the ropes, but then pulls the cable, and Michaels falls like a heap to the mat again.
HBK starts to cough and grabs his neck, but taker stomps at him again, then drops an elbow. He takes the cable off of Michaels, then whips him off the ropes again, but Michaels ducks a clothesline, and comes back with a flying forearm to his opponent. Michaels immediately nips up, whips attracts a huge amount of heat from Ford Field. He flips the bird, then bounces off the ropes, and dropkicks Taker in the face, and follows up with a number of knees to the head of the Undertaker. Michaels then picks up the cable, and begins to choke at Undertaker with it. He squeezes at the cable, choking the life out of the Deadman.
Michaels then rolls back out of the ring, and picks up a chair from under the ring, then rolls back in, and nails the Deadman with it, putting Taker down to the mat again. However, HBK starts to dance around the ring, then sees Undertaker sit up. Michaels throws the chair down, and mouths “To hell with thisâ€, and then walks out of the ring, and starts to leave up the ramp. He gets ¾ of the way up, but then, Mick Foley walks out, to a huge pop, and orders HBK back to the ring right away. Michaels argues, saying that he isn’t fighting that freak, and then starts to complain that he has a bad leg. Foley is having none of it, and tells him to get back into the ring right away, but HBK continues to argue.
Meanwhile, Taker has walked up the ramp, right behind Michaels, who hasn’t noticed it yet. Michaels reluctantly agrees to go back to the ring, then walks backward, ending up backing into Taker. He realises right away who it is, and starts to almost cry. He starts to stamp his feet like a child who hasn’t gotten his way. He turns around, and right away, the Deadman unloads on HBK. He buries him with right hands and lefts, then a big clothesline, knocking Michaels down.
Taker then picks Michaels up on his shoulders, and carries him back to the ring, then rolls him inside. Taker stomps at Michaels in the corner, then whips him off the ropes, and hit’s a press slam. He whips Michaels to the corner, then runs to the corner, and hits him with a clothesline. The Showstopper then staggers out of the corner, but Taker again whips him into the corner, and sprints at him again, nailing a clothesline again. Michaels again staggers out, and this time, is met with a boot to the face. The referee then gets back into the ring, and calls for the match to FINALLY officially start, while Taker gets a cover, 1...2...Kick Out!!!
The Deadman picks Michaels back up, and whips him to the corner with such velocity, that Michaels flips over to the top rope upon impact, to the floor. Jack Doan has no choice but to count HBK out.

Undertaker then stops the count by grabbing Doan, and throwing him across the ring, then rolls to the outside, to try and stop Michaels from attacking Bearer, but as soon as he rolls out, he is met with an urn shot to the head from the Showstopper, then Michaels empties part of the urn onto his hand, and throws it into the face of Undertaker, blinding the Deadman temporarily. Michaels then pushes Bearer down to the ground, and grabs the ring bell, clocking Undertaker with it. Michaels then rolls Taker back into the ring, and revives Doan, then gets a cover, 1.….2.….Taker kicks out!!!
HBK picks Taker up, who still seems to be having sight problems, and hit’s a sweet suplex, then pounds him down. Michaels jumps up, salutes to the fans to a lot of heat, then goes up top, and nails Undertaker with an axe handle. HBK then starts to choke Taker on the ropes, letting go on the count of four, then choking again until the count of four. Michaels then bounces off the ropes, and hit’s a knee to the back of Undertaker against the ropes. Shawn then goes for a whip to the corner, but Taker reverses, and HBK jumps to the top rope before hitting the corner, and goes for a moonsault to Taker, but The Deadman catches him, and nails a Powerslam on HBK. He gets a cover, 1.…..2.…..Kick Out.
Taker then picks up Michaels and gets to the top rope, and goes for the Old School, but Michaels in an act of desperation, shakes the ropes, and Taker eventually loses his balance, and straddles the ropes. HBK then begins to lay into the Deadman with repeated right hands, then dropkicks him, with Taker going over the top, falling to the floor. Michaels then chews him gum violently, riling up the crowd, then he bounces off the ropes, and flies over the top rope with a cross body, but Taker catches him, and rams him head first into the ringpost, then rolls him back in. He bounces the Heartbreak Kid off the ropes, then nails him with a back body drop. Undertaker then goes for an atomic drop, but instead, gets payback on HBK, and straddles him on the top rope, then shakes the ropes, with HBK yelling out in pain.
Undertaker then suplexes HBK from the top rope, and hit’s the Old School, second time lucky. Undertaker then signals for the Chokeslam, and grips Michaels, but the Showstopper fights out with all the energy he has in him, and eventually, fights out of the move, and hits an inverted atomic drop, followed by a DDT to Taker. Michaels then uses the ropes to pull himself up, and scales to the top rope, and nails his patented Elbow drop. HBK thinks it has to be over, and covers the Deadman,

………KICKOUT WITH AUTHORITY!!!………
Michaels jumps up in shock, as Taker sits up to get to his feet. HBK worries, and then goes to the outside, and gets another steel chair. He brings it into the ring, but Jack Doan immediately takes it off him, which distracts Michaels, and taker takes advantage with a running clothesline. Undertaker looks down at HBK, then picks up the chair. He swings back to hits Michaels, but the referee pulls it away, and Michaels nails the Deadman with Sweet Chin Music!!! He gets the cover,

Michaels looks up as if he is living a nightmare. He stands over Undertaker, and stomps, but then Taker sits up, and Michaels jumps away in a state of shock. He runs behind Jack Doan, hoping Taker doesn’t se him, but he doesn’t have any luck. Taker sees him, and shoves the referee out of the way, but Michaels lands with a low blow. He grabs the steel chair, and sees that the referee isn’t looking, so HBK smashes Taker with the chair!!! He grabs the groggy ref, and hooks the leg, and puts his legs all over the ropes,

Michaels shakes his head in disbelief, and argues with the referee. He shoves him in anger, then grabs the steel chair, but so does Undertaker. They struggle for it, and Michaels lets go, and the chair swings backward, and nails the referee, who is out for at least the fourth time in the match. The Deadman takes his focus off of Michaels, and looks at the referee. Michaels takes advantage, and rams Taker into the corner. He then starts to pound on Taker, standing on the top rope, but Taker stops this, and comes out of the corner with Michaels, NAILING THE LAST RIDE!!!!!!! Undertaker gets the cover,

But meanwhile, HBK has gotten to his feet, and waits, ready for Taker to turn around….eventually……Taker turns around, and Michaels goes for Sweet Chin Music……but Taker catches his foot, spins him around, and nails him with a CHOKESLAM!!!!! Taker then does the cut throat taunt, and gets Michaels up, onto his shoulders, turns to each side of the arena who all cheer the Deadman on, and eventually, he nails the TOMBSTONE!!! Undertaker gets the darkness pin as Doan gets back to his senses and makes the count,

Jim Ross: The Undertaker prevails!!!! He is still undefeated at this event, making it 13 -0!!! A record no doubt. The Undertaker has finally gotten his hands on Michaels, and revenge is the Deadman’s!!!
Jerry Lawler: Michaels was so close J.R, but tonight was just not his lucky night I’m afraid. I’ll give it to the Undertaker, he always turns it up a notch come this time of year!!!

Paul Heyman: Brock, maybe we should let just Mr. McMahon and I worry about the business end of the deal, and you can worry about swiping the venom from the Rattlesnake.
Brock Lesnar: Steve Austin isn’t a worry, he’s just a thorn in my side, and very soon…I will remove that thorn.
Vince McMahon: Ohhhh HELLLLLLL YEAH!!!
The trio then smile together as the camera fades out…

10th Match:
WWE Championship Match:
Triple H © vs. The Rock
The two men both make their way to the centre of the ring, with Mike Chioda standing in between them. Triple H tries to get in the head of The Rock, but Rock totally blows him off, and puts his hand in his face, then tells him to Just Bring it. Triple H is not happy. He points at Rock, then turns away, and tries to catch him with a right, but Rock blocks it, and fires one at HHH, then another, and a third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, which in turn, back Triple H into the corner, flurrying with rights, but then, in desperation, the champion drives a knee into the sternum of The Rock, and begins to go at Rock with rights of his own, backing the challenger into the opposite corner, pounding away with right hands, but suddenly, The Great One begins to fight back. He now fights his way out of the corner, and the two men begin to go shot for shot in the middle of the ring, with the entire crowd going wild for this brawl of a start.
The Rock begins to get the best of the fight, but Triple H turns the tide, with a rake to the eyes of Rock, then gets the first knock down of the match with a big clothesline. He picks up The Rock and rams him into the corner, and begins to fire some more right hands to the Peoples Champ, then stomps him to the ground, and chokes him, with the referee using the five count for Triple H to let go. He releases the illegal choke, then goes again, breaking on the count of four. Chioda lectures the champion, and Triple H gets in the face of the official, before turning back around to The Rock, but as he does, The Rock charges out of the corner, and nails HHH with a clothesline, to a huge response.
Triple H gets back up, and is right away met with right hands from The Great One, and is all over the place, until The Rock nails his spit punch, knocking The Game right over the top rope to the floor.
Rock follows him out, and bangs his head off the steel steps, with Triple H staggering around, almost in a daze, and falls all over the announce table, then the timekeepers table, and Rock goes to him, but as he turns him around, Triple H nails him with the Championship belt.
Mike Chioda immediately tells off Triple H for his action, and Triple H tells him, with a smile on his face, “so do me!!â€. Chioda thinks about it, then realises it would only suit The Game, and decides for the match to continue. Triple H laughs, and rolls Rock back into the ring.
Immediately, Triple H, drives his knee into the mid section of Rock, then hit’s a snap suplex. He goes for a cover, 1...2...Rock Kicks Out from the first cover of the match. HHH then waits for The Rock to get to his feet, and takes him down with a chop block. Triple H then yanks the leg of The Great One, drops an elbow onto the knee, and begins to kick at the leg and soon applies a leg lock.
The Challenger scrambles as Triple H smiles, watching Rock squirm in agony. Rocky eventually makes it to the ropes, but it looks like the damage has been done to the Challenger. Triple H tries again to go for a chop block, but Rock sees him coming and moves out of the way, then clotheslines The Game down. Triple H bounces back up, but is knocked right back down. Again, he jumps up, but this time, The Peoples Champ bounces off the ropes and nails HHH with a forearm, hit with such velocity that Triple H falls out of the ring.
The Rock follows him out, and bounces Hunter’s head off the steps. He chops Triple H, and he falls down, then Rock goes for a suplex to HHH on the outside, but Hunter blocks it, and suplexes Rock, with his knee crashing off the steel steps.
A Holy Shit chant erupts as Rock is flat out and HHH is pretty much out of it too. Triple H gets to his feet, and drags The Rock back into the ring. He gets a cover for a sure three count,
1.….
2.….
…….THE ROCK KICKS OUT!!!!!
HHH cant believe it. He argues with the ref saying it was three, and eventually head butts and punches the mat in anger, before pounding on The Great One continuously before being eventually pulled off by the referee.
Triple H tries to keep calm. He picks up Rock and tries to go for the Pedigree, but Rock breaks free, and cradles HHH, 1...2...KICK OUT!! HHH gets back up immediately, but Rock then goes for a backslide, 1.…2.…ANOTHER KICK OUT!!! Again, Triple H jumps up, but Rock rolls him up, 1.…2.…KICK OUT AGAIN FROM HHH!!
HHH then gets up, but grabs a rope, meaning that The Rock cant attack. This infuriates the challenger and the Ford Field crowd, but Triple H doesn’t care.
Eventually, he lets go of the ropes and ties up with Rock, but Rock backs The Game into the corner, lets go slowly, then attempts a right hand, but HHH ducks out of the way just in time, then clotheslines The Rock down as he comes back around. He then drags his opponent into the centre of the ring and applies the Figure Four.
The Rock screams out in pain as Triple H cranks the pressure on him. His shoulder’s fall to the mat, 1...2...Kick Out. Soon though, his shoulders fall again, 1...2...Kick Out. Then, Rock has a sudden second wind, and begins to reverse the submission. He turns over Triple H, who immediately screams out in agony. Soon, though, Triple rolls over, putting the pressure on the Challenger again. This time, Triple H uses the ropes for leverage, but the referee spots this and right away, tells Hunter to break the hold. He does so with much grievance and argues with the referee.
Triple H then decides to go back for the knee, and begins to stomp away at it. He drags The Rock to the middle of the ring, and drops an elbow to the knee. He then goes for the Figure Four again, but this time, Rock kicks him away, and HHH goes flying out of the ring.
Rock then limps up to a vertical base again, but gets no rest bite, as HHH takes the opportunity, gets right back into the ring, and hits a swift chop block to the challengers left leg. Rock flops right back down to the mat and clutches his leg. HHH decides to methodically work on the leg this time and wails at the knee of Rock. HHH swings his right leg around, trying to stretch it out. Rock yells out loud, obviously in pain and the crowd begin to try and get The Great One back into the match. They seem to spur The Rock on, as he tries to get back to his feet, and throws some menacing rights at The Game. He gets halfway up, but gets put right back down, and HHH sweeps the leg of Rock. He drags his leg to the corner, and drops his knee onto it. Triple H then tries to tie up The Rocks leg in the ropes, but Rock resists it. HHH then hit’s a hard elbow onto the leg of The Great One again, and he screams out again.
This time, HHH does tie up the leg of the peoples champ. He elbows away at it, smiling the whole time, knowing that there is nothing that Rock can do about it. He kicks, elbows, stomps, punches, at the leg, and even slaps his enemy. Eventually, the referee steps in, and tells HHH that he cant do that, and tells him to break it. Eventually he does, then drops an elbow to the leg again!!!
Triple H drags the body of The Rock to the outside, and whips him, knee first, into the steel steps. He ignores the referee, who is trying to tell him to bring it back inside. HHH then stomps the leg, drops an elbow, and hoists Rock in the air, before dropping him onto the steps, knee first again.
He rolls him into the ring and gets a cover, 1...2...Kick Out. HHH whips Rock off the ropes, but Rock ducks a clothesline, and comes back with a reverse elbow.
Triple H immediately rolls out, and tries to gather his thoughts on the outside, then gets on the apron, and looks to Rock, who then tells HHH to “Just Bring It!!!†The Game is irate, and gets back in and straight away goes at it with The Rock. They start to slug it out, but pretty soon, Rock gets the best, and begins to wail on The Game with rights. He goes for a whip, but this is reversed by HHH, and Hunter hits Rock with a high knee. He gets the cover, 1...2...Kick Out. Triple H then pounds on the great one, and then picks him up, and delivers a gut wrench suplex, 1...2...Kick Out again.
Triple H looks a little angry, then bounces off the ropes and hit’s a knee drop to the challenger, 1...2...Kick Out. Triple H then picks The Rock up, and goes for a whip, but Rock reverses, and sends HHH into the ropes, then goes for a suplex, but instead of hitting it, he hangs HHH on the ropes, which gets an “oooooo†from the on looking audience. The Rock then sizes up The game, and kicks him square in the face. Rock then throws a number of rights at The game, and bounces off the ropes, but Rock sidesteps him, and The Great One goes right over the top rope to the floor.
Triple H follows to the outside, and goes for a whip into the steel steps, but The Rock reverses the whip, and sends HHH into the steps instead. Rock pounds at the champion, then rolls him back into the ring. The slug it out, and HHH goes for a kick, but Rock grabs Triple H’s leg, and nails the Dragon Screw, and follows up with a Sharshooter!!!
Triple H clutches his face in agony, then claws across the mat, then stops, and looks like tapping, but summons the energy, and pushes himself up, and crawls, and crawls, and MAKES THE ROPES!!! The Rock is forced to release the hold, and Triple H quickly rolls to the outside for a break. Rock follows, but is suckered by HHH, who drives a knee into the midsection of The Rock, and hit’s a DDT onto the steel steps. He thinks its all over, and rolls Rock back into the ring, and covers,

Rock’s eyes become WIDE open. The Great One is in disbelief. He picks up Triple H for another Rock Bottom, but Triple H hit’s a drop toe hold on him, earning some time to rest. He then drags The Rock to the outside, and drops him, ribs first onto the barrier, then bounces his head off the announce table.

He picks up Rock, but the peoples champ still fights back, rocking HHH with some hard rights. He bounces off the ropes, but Triple H kicks him as he comes back, and goes for a Pedigree, but Rock fights out of it, then goes for a Rock Bottom, but HHH elbows out, then delivers the Pedigree!!!!!!!!

HHH shakes his head as if that didn’t just happen. He looks at the ref, who tells him it was a two count. Triple H’s face starts to shake, and he points at the referee, then starts to yell that this isn’t right. He gets on top of Rock, and begins to relentlessly pound at the head of The Great One.
Triple H then applies a submission to Rock…a Camel Clutch this time!! Rock is totally out of it at this stage. The Rock tells the referee not to ring the bell, and Chioda tells him he may have no choice in a minute.
He pushes his arms up, to give himself some leverage. He then pushes himself up a little, and pushes up with his knees. He then stands up, with HHH still on his back. He runs backward into the corner, trying to get HHH off him, then the opposite corner, then the near corner, then the last corner, and HHH falls off, and Rock falls to the ground.
Chioda this time, has no choice but to make a count on both men…

Both men, slowly get to their feet with Rock looking a little fresher of the two. He throws a right hand at The Game, and HHH throws one back. Rock then comes back with another, as does Triple H. The two men continue to slug it out, and Triple H starts to get an upper hand. He blocks a shot from Rocky, then throws two of his own. He then throws another, and Rock falls to one knee. The Rock pulls himself up on Hunters tights, but Triple H punches him down again. He throws The Great One into the corner and throws another right hand, but this time, it is blocked by the opponent, and The Rock starts to fire back, with lefts and rights. He knocks Hunter down, and again, and again. Triple H then runs at him, but Rock hits an Inverted Atomic drop, followed by a clothesline. HHH then gets up, and Rock runs at him, but Triple H moves, and pulls the top rope, meaning The Rock goes flying over the top rope, to the floor.
Triple H gets up, and is about to go to the outside to attack Rock, but then thinks about it, and decides to let the referee count Rock out.

He pulls his elbow pad down, and throws it into the crowd. Rock then goes for the Peoples Elbow, but as he goes for it, Triple H moves!!! He then waits for Rock to get up, and gets him in position for the Pedigree, but Rock quickly counters with a back body drop to the champion. Rock then stalks The Game, and gets him in position for the Rock Bottom, but Triple H pushes him away, into the referee. With the referee temporarily out of the picture, Triple H takes advantage, and nails a low blow on The Rock, then delivers a second Pedigree!!! He hooks the leg, and the referee comes to his senses,

Rock celebrates on each turnbuckle with the WWE Championship, as the exhausted Triple H makes his way up the ramp, beaten, depressed, and without the WWE Championship belt. Rock continues the celebration as Triple H takes one last look before heading back past the curtain.
Michael Cole: THE ROCK HAS DONE IT!!!!!! He has become a world champion for the tenth time in his career!!! His eighth WWE Title victory. The Game’s reign has been ended by the Great One!!!
Tazz: What an effort from these two men, they deserve a standing ovation, but only one could walk out the winner, and on this night, Triple H wanted it, but The Rock simply wanted it more!!!
We cut backstage, and see Chris Jericho and Trish Stratus leaving the arena, hand in hand, finally together.
We then cut to Steve Austin, who is making his last minute preparations for the upcoming match, tying his laces, then walking out of the dressing room, slamming the door…

Tony Chimel: Ladies and Gentlemen, to play the song “Moshâ€, with the story of Austin vs. Lesnar, here is, EMINEM!!!
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the Republic for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible...
I scrutinize every word, memorize every line
I spit it once, refuel and re-energize and rewind
I give sight to the blind, my insight through the mind
I exercise my right to express when I feel it's time
It's just all in your mind, what you interpret it as
I say to fight, you take it as I'mma whip someone's ass
If you don't understand, don't even bother to ask
A hero who has grown up with a heroless past
Who has blown up now to mat phenomenon that has
Or at least shows no difficulty multi-task
And in juggling both perhaps mastered his craft
Slash entrepreneur who has helped launch a few more in ring acts
Who's had a few obstacles thrown his way through the last half
Of his career typical manure moving past that
Mr. kisses ass crack, he's a class act
Rubber band man, yea he just snaps back
[Chorus:]
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
All the people up top on the side and the middle
Come together lets all bomb and swamp just a little
Just let it gradually build from the front to the back
All you can see is a sea of people some white and some black
Don't matter what color, all that matters we gathered together
To celebrate for the same cause don't matter the weather
If it rains let it rain, yea the wetter the better
They ain't gonna stop us they can't, we stronger now more than ever
They tell us no we say yea, they tell us stop we say go
Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell we gonna let em know
Stomp, push, shove, mush, (c'mon)
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's tryina tell us something,
Maybe this is god just sayin' we're responsible
For this monster, this coward,
That we have empowered
This is Paul Heyman, look at his head noddin'
How could we allow something like this without pumping our fists
Now this is our final hour
Let me be the voice in your strength and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply by six...
Teen million people, Are equal at this high pitch
Maybe we can reach alqueda through my speech
Let the boss answer a higher anarchy
Strap him with an Ak-47, let him go, fight his own war
Let him impress himself that way
No more blood at all, he got his own battle to fight on our own soil
No more psychological warfare, to trick us to thinking that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country, we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes its all lies
The stars and stripes, they've been swiped, washed out and wiped
And replaced with his own face, Mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you know why,
Cause I told you to fight.
Come along follow me as I lead through the darkness
As I provide just enough spark that we need to proceed
Carry on, give me hope, give me strength
Come with me and I won't steer you wrong
Put your faith and your trust as I guide us through the fog
To the light at the end of the tunnel
We gonna fight, we gonna charge, we gonna stomp, we gonna march
Through the swamp, we gonna mosh through the marsh
Take us right through the doors (c'mon)
And as we proceed,
To Mosh through this desert storm,
In these closing statements, if they should argue
Let us beg to differ
As we set aside our differences
And assemble our own army
To disarm this Weapon of Mass Destruction
That we call our President, for the present
And Mosh for the future of our next generation
To speak and be heard
Mr. Austin, Mr. Lesnar
Let the fight...begin...[laughing]
**“No Chanceâ€** fills the arena, and we see the special guest referee for the upcoming match, Mr. McMahon walk to the ring, wearing his own referee shirt, as an Austin chant begins already**
Tony Chimel: The following contest, is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, making his way to the ring, he is the special guest referee, and he is, the chairman of the board, Mr. McMahon!!!!
**McMahon tries to make fun of the rattlesnake, going to each turnbuckle, and giving the bird at each one**
Michael Cole: What a way to round off the Smackdown side of WrestleMania!!! McMahon, Hart, Lesnar, Austin. All involved at the same time. This has the makings of a Wrestlemania classic. The build up has been emotional. It dates back to last May, when Lesnar screwed Austin out of his contract, Austin came back at the Rumble, and since then, it has been a war to say the least!!!
Tazz: This match, has had such a huge build up, so much history, that it can only end, here at this event.
**Here Comes the Pain plays and Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring, accompanied by his agent, Paul Bearer. Lesnar wears an Austin jacket to the ring, which gets a lot of heat**
Tony Chimel: Introducing first, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 295 pounds, being accompanied by his agent, Paul Heyman, BROCK, LESNARRRRRR!!!!!
**Lesnar shakes hands with Vince, as does Heyman, and Lesnar then rips the Austin jacket in pieces and throws it into the crowd**
Michael Cole: Well, I don’t like this. I was afraid that this might be the case here tonight. Lets hope, McMahon doesn’t let his ego get in the way, and we get to see Austin and Lesnar go at it, one on one.
Tazz: Cole, I am ready to put my fingers in my ears, because very soon, the glass will shatter, and the roof might come off this arena!!!
**Bret‘s music plays, and the Smackdown GM makes his way to the ring, suited up, and getting a mixed ovation from the on looking crowd, considering the allegations made last week on Smackdown**
Tony Chimel: Introducing, the general manager of Smackdown….Bret, HITMANNNNN Hart!!!!
**Bret decides not to get in the ring, but pulls out a pair of sunglasses and hands them to a kid in the front row, then takes off his jacket, and rolls up his sleeves**
Michael Cole: Bret Hart looks ready for action Tazz. He knows that he may need to be called into action tonight.
Tazz: You just know that Hart would love to get his hands on McMahon Cole. That issue is still far from over in my opinion, and it never will be.
**The crowd quietens down, and then….*GLASS SHATTERS* and Steve Austin strolls to the ring, to arguably the biggest pop of the night, as he walks to the ring with a purpose**
Tony Chimel: And introducing, from Victoria, Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds, STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!!!
**Austin walks around the ring, and takes a look at Bret, but says nothing, then gets into the ring and goes to each turnbuckle**
Michael Cole: Oh my!!! This folks, is what they call a WrestleMania moment!!! Stone Cold, back in action. This match, in my opinion IS WrestleMania twenty one!!!
Tazz: Cole, sit back, and lets watch history unfold…
11th Match:
With Special Guest Referee; Mr. McMahon:
Brock Lesnar w/Heyman vs. “Stone Cold†Steve Austin w/Bret Hart
Austin then comes off the top turnbuckle, and as soon as he touches the ground, he takes his jacket off, throws it in the face of McMahon, and goes straight at it with Brock. Austin starts out beating Brock to the corner, laying into him with right hands, but Lesnar strikes back, and fights out of the corner with some big time shots of his own, but Austin then drives his knee into the midsection of Lesnar, and backs him back into the corner, and begins to stomp wildly at Lesnar, stomping a mudhole and walking it dry!!!
Stone Cold is relentless in his attack, but is pulled off Lesnar by McMahon. Austin then is set to punch Vince but McMahon then points to his referee’s shirt, and lets Austin know he will disqualify him. Austin and McMahon go face to face, and Stone Cold flips the bird at McMahon, but then Brock steams in from behind, with a strong blow to the neck of Austin, sending the rattlesnake to his knees. Lesnar smiles at McMahon, then picks up Austin effortlessly, and hit’s a Belly to Belly. He then goes for a cover, and McMahon immediately drops to the mat, and quickly counts, 1.2...KICK OUT!!!
Bret Hart immediately jumps to the apron, yelling at Vince, asking what that was all about. McMahon responds by smiling at Bret, then flipping the bird!!! Hart is irate, but decides for now to keep his cool, and calmly tells McMahon to call it straight. Meanwhile, Lesnar begins to go to work on Austin, and stomps Stone Cold on the neck, then picks him up, and rams Austin into the corner, then begins to wear out Austin’s mid section, with six consecutive shoulders to the gut, then he stomps Austin to the ground. Lesnar picks Austin up again, effortlessly, and nails a second Belly to Belly on the Rattlesnake. McMahon tells him to go for a cover, but Lesnar shakes his head, and says no, then smiles. He chokes Austin in the corner with his foot, and McMahon doesn’t do a thing to stop him. Lesnar uses the ropes for extra leverage, as Austin tries to push the foot away. Eventually, Lesnar releases Austin, but then drops an elbow to the back of the neck. Brock gets down beside Stone Cold and trash talks, asking Austin if it was all worth it, and we hear Austin tell him back, “Hell Yeah it wasâ€. Lesnar smiles, and then drops another elbow to Austin, before leaning over the topes to start trash talking Bret. He tells Bret that at this rate, it doesn’t look like he’ll need to screw Austin, but Bret replies to him to keep his mind on Stone Cold.
Lesnar laughs, then turns around, and picks Austin up, but Austin comes back at the opponent. He fires with right hands at Lesnar, and rocks the big man, then whips him off the ropes, and drives his knee straight into Brock, sending Lesnar down like a ton of bricks. Austin bounces off the ropes, and drops a Fuck You elbow, but before he can do anymore damage, Brock rolls out of the ring to try and recover. Austin then goes to attack him, but McMahon then stands in Austin’s way. Stone Cold looks totally fed up at this stage, and looks around the arena, with everyone desperate to see him hit McMahon.
Austin looks around, and we see him start to get really fired up as McMahon smugly smiles at Austin, daring him to hit him. Austin swings back, then flips McMahon with a double bird. McMahon’s smile fades, and he starts to look pretty mad. Austin now smiles at McMahon, who is now the one getting riled up, but whilst all this happens, Brock has recovered and picked up a chair from the outside. He gets back in, and tries to attack Austin from behind with the chair, but Austin notices Bret signal to him to move, so he does just in time, and Lesnar ends up nailing McMahon!!! He stops in shock, then turns around, and is met with a STUNNER!!!! Austin covers Lesnar, and MIKE CHIODA runs down to make the count…

……HEYMAN PULLS OUT CHIODA!!!……
Heyman then puts Chioda down with a right hand, and looks pleased with his actions, then he turns around, and sees Bret closing in on him. Heyman then hightails it, and jumps the barrier into the crowd, running from Hart, who comes in pursuit of him.
In the ring, Austin furiously unloads on Lesnar, showing his total hatred for Brock, not showing any remorse. Brock even has a slight cut above his left eyebrow from the shots. Austin then whips Lesnar to the opposite corner, but Brock reverses the whip, and Austin hit’s the corner. Lesnar runs at towards him, but the Rattlesnake gets a foot up, and follows up on this with a clothesline, knocking Lesnar down. He then bounces off the ropes and drops a knee to Brock, but doesn’t bother to cover, with there being no referee present. He picks Brock up, and whips him off the ropes, but Brock reverses and then goes for a clothesline, but Austin ducks, then hit’s a Lou Thesz press on Brock, followed with a barrage of right hands to the temple.
Austin then jumps up, and salutes the crowd, then picks up the steel chair, and pulls back to nail Brock, but McMahon grabs the chair, and stops Austin, but Austin drops the chair, and goes for a stunner, but McMahon pushes Austin away, into Lesnar, and Lesnar nails Stone Cold with a humungous clothesline, turning Austin inside out. Austin rolls around the ring in agony, clutching his head, as Lesnar and McMahon share a joke. We are now seemingly in a two on one situation in this match, with McMahon’s siding to Lesnar.
Brock drops an elbow, then a second, and a third. He then gets up, and begins to stomp Austin square in the face. He then decides to go for a demeaning cover, and McMahon counts, at a normal speed, 1...2...KICK OUT!!! Lesnar smiles again, and tells McMahon that this is where we have some fun.
Lesnar picks Austin up, and whips him off the ropes, then hit’s a flapjack, dropping Stone Cold, throat first, onto the ropes, choking Austin, who bounces off the ropes, and is booted down by Brock. McMahon claps the Lesnar offence, as Brock begins to step his game up, and it looks like Austin may not have much left in the tank. Lesnar picks Austin up, and gets him up for a fisherman suplex, but then holds up in the air, almost like a torture rack, then drops Austin to the mat, who falls like a sack of potatoes.
Brock kicks Austin in the head, then decides to take a break, and lies on the top rope, whilst McMahon tries to humiliate Austin, by counting him out as he lays on the ground.

Austin then pulls himself up on McMahon, but Vince slaps him to the ground, and boots at his back trash talking along the way. He picks Austin up by the face, and slaps him, but Austin then shows his fighting spirit, and knocks Vince with a stunning right, then uses the ropes to get to his feet, and he then blocks a shot from McMahon, and hits one of his own again. Austin then begins to tee off on McMahon with rights, but Lesnar then notices Austin gaining some momentum, and drops off the ropes, and goes toward Austin, but Austin blocks a punch, and levels Brock, then hits Vince, then hits Brock, Vince, Brock, Vince, Brock, Vince, Brock, Vince, Brock, then grabs both their heads, and rams them together. The two men then stagger around the ring, and Austin looks set to hits Vince with another right, but stops, then kicks him in the gut, then clotheslines him over the top rope to the floor. Lesnar then runs at Stone Cold, but Austin meets him with a knee to the gut, followed by a Russian Leg Sweep. Austin then drags in Chioda to make the count,

……KICK OUT!!!……
Austin gets up, and spots Vince dragging himself up on the ropes, and knocks him off again, then delivers a clothesline to Lesnar. He covers Brock again, 1...2...Kick Out!!! Austin drags Lesnar up in the corner, and chops him, then Lesnar chops back. Austin then stomps, but Lesnar punches back, then head butts Austin, who staggers away, then Lesnar comes toward him, but Austin pokes Lesnar in the eyes, and hits an atomic drop, followed by a chop block to the knee, putting Lesnar down. Austin then yanks the leg, and scores with three pin point elbows to the knee. Austin then rams his knee into the knee of Brock, and stomps at the leg, wearing and tearing the muscle on Lesnar. He then drags Lesnars leg to the apron, and rams it against the ring post, and Lesnar rolls around the ring, clutching his leg. Stone Cold smiles, and brings the steel steps into the ring. Austin pushes Chioda out of the way, then stomps at the leg again, before dropping the steps on the knee of Brock. He the slams the steps against Lesnar’s leg again, and applies a figure four on Lesnar.
Brock screams out in pain, after taking a huge amount of punishment to the knee, but fights on, and scratches and claws his way to the ropes, eventually making them, but Austin has no intention of breaking the hold. Chioda tells Austin to break it, but Austin smiles, flips the bird, and bounces his head side to side, ignoring the referee. Chioda eventually breaks the hold himself, and Austin is not happy. He points at Chioda, and tells him that they are gonna have words later on. Stone Cold goes right back to work on the leg of Lesnar, stomping at the leg, and drops another few elbows. Brock though, kicks Austin away, and takes a moment to take a breather, but Austin doesn’t, and gets right back up, and grabs the steel chair from earlier, and nails Lesnar with a blistering shot to the head of the next big thing. Austin covers,

…MCMAHON DROPS AN ELBOW ON THE REFEREE!!!…
McMahon stands over Chioda, as Austin looks up irate. Vince tells Austin that only he can make the count, no on else. Austin gets up, and chases McMahon around the ring, but as the chase goes on, Lesnar rolls to the outside, and as Vince runs past, Austin follows, but doesn’t see Brock, and he is met with an overhead Belly to Belly suplex on the unproductive mats!!!
Lesnar celebrates the cunning move he and Vince have just made, and then grabs the steel steps as if they were a football, and hoists them up into the air, and nails Austin between the eyes…AND AUSTIN IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!! Austin has been busted open, and busted open badly. He pulls himself up on the barrier, then turns around, and is met by Lesnar, who picks up Austin, and hits three rib breakers, before dropping Austin to the ground. Brock picks Austin up, and slams his bloody head off the steel steps, then whips him, face first into the ring post, and follows up with a clothesline. Brock then pounds down the beaten and bloody Rattlesnake, and rubs his forearm all over the face of Austin, as an act of total disrespect.
Vince meanwhile, instead of trying to get the action back into the ring, is directing traffic, giving Brock ideas of what to do to the Rattlesnake. Lesnar picks Stone Cold up on his shoulders, and hit’s the snake eyes onto the barrier, then hit’s a German Suplex, onto the prone neck of Steve Austin. Brock then drags Stone Cold back into the ring, and immediately hit’s a looonnngggg back suplex. He thinks about the cover, but decides against it, and picks up the steel chair, then tells McMahon to watch this. He begins to drive the chair into the sternum of Austin, then slams the chair against his ribs, hits him on the head, the legs, the body, the head, legs, body, head, legs, body, and head, then drops the chair, after handing on the punishment. McMahon nods, loving what he is seeing. He then tells Brock to get the chair again, and he does. McMahon holds Austin up, and Lesnar levels the motionless Rattlesnake with the chair. He gets a cover, and McMahon makes a quick count…
…1.2.FOOT ON THE ROPE!!!
McMahon pounds the mat in frustration, and Lesnar clenches his fist in fury. He bounces off the ropes and hit’s a running knee lift on Austin, then sits him up again for the same move, but as Lesnar comes back off the ropes, he is met with a spine buster from Stone Cold!!! Austin then sets Lesnar up for the Stunner, but McMahon comes from behind and nails Austin with the chair to the back of the head. McMahon then drags Lesnar on top of Austin, but this takes quite a while, and eventually he does, then makes another quick count…
…1.2.KICK OUT!!!!
McMahon flops to the mat in shock. He cannot believe the heart of Stone Cold, and takes his frustration out on the battered Rattlesnake. He pounds Austin with right hands, but Austin seems to get a fourth wind, and starts to strike back at Vince, fighting up to his feet, and knocking back Vince with right hands, into the corner, then he begins to stomp the boss down, but Lesnar then runs over hit Austin with a corner splash, but Austin moves out of the way, and Lesnar nails McMahon instead. Lesnar then turns around, and Austin goes for a stunner, but Brock drops down to his knees and low blows Stone Cold, and follows up with a devastating F5!!! Brock hooks the leg, but Vince is unable to count too quickly, due to having just been beaten up…

……AUSTIN KICKS OUT!!!……
Lesnar tries to not let this affect him, and he picks up the steel chair once again, and throttles Austin with another blow to the head, dropping the Bionic Redneck to the mat again. Vince tells Brock to go for the cover, but Lesnar says he has a better idea, and picks Austin up, before applying a bear hug!!
The blood from Austin’s head drips onto the shoulder, and down the back of Lesnar, and he synchs in the hold, and instead of asking IF he wants to give up, Vince tells Austin to give it up. Austin seems to be fading fast, as Lesnar continues to apply pressure, gripping Austin and even adding in a head butt here and there. Austin looks to have totally faded, and possibly passed out, then Lesnar just drops him to the ground, and stomps on his bloody head adding insult to injury. He picks Austin up, and slaps him down, picks him up, and slaps him down. Then Austin uses the ropes to get up, and tries to kick back at Brock, but the kick has no effect, and Lesnar slaps Austin again. Austin uses the ropes to stay up, and then comes at Brock, but Brock slaps him down to one knee. Austin refuses to give up though, and continues to rise to his feet, infuriating Lesnar further.
Brock backs Austin into the corner, and unleashes a series of right hands, but Austin fires some right back, and fights out of the corner, but Lesnar then drives a knee to the midsection, and sends him into the ropes, and then puts his head down, but Austin holds the ropes, and Lesnar is still waiting for Austin to come back. He then looks up, and sees Austin standing by the ropes, flipping the bird again. Brock then runs at Austin, but Austin hit’s a back body drop, sending Lesnar to the outside, leaving just McMahon and Austin. Austin goes for McMahon, and McMahon, again tries to get away, but Austin catches him, and drags him back to the middle of the ring, then starts to choke him, showing his pent up anger at the referee. However, Brock rescues McMahon, and comes from behind to put down the bloody Rattlesnake once again.
Lesnar then picks up Austin from the ground, but again, Austin refuses to take the beating, and comes right at Lesnar. He gets the best of the fist fight, then bounces off the ropes, but Lesnar then meets him with a spine buster, but again decides not to cover Austin, but instead smiles at Vince, who smiles back, and then Brock applies the SHARPSHOOTER!!! McMahon immediately calls for the bell, but everyone around the timekeepers desk sit where they are, look at McMahon and shake their heads saying no. Vince is furious!!! He tells them that after tonight, each and every single one of them are fired.
In the ring, Lesnar still has the Sharpshooter applied, but Austin refuses to tap to the submission. He scratches and claws his way to the ropes, and eventually makes the ropes to break the hold, but McMahon shows his true colours, and kicks Stone Cold’s arms off the ropes, and Lesnar drags him back to the centre of the ring. McMahon then gets down, and into the face of Austin, taunting him, telling him that he has to tap, but Austin responds by slapping Vince, despite being in the Sharpshooter. Vince then gets up, and kicks Austin in the head repeatedly, irate with Austin’s will to win. Brock, also frustrated, releases the hold, but immediately picks up Austin, and goes for the Bearhug again, but Austin fights it, and hit’s the STUNNER on Brock. He then goes for Vince and pounds him down in the corner, unloading on the boss.
Then Ford Field erupts, as we see a figure run down the aisle, chair in hand, but as they realise who it is, they begin to boo, as the person is PAUL HEYMAN, who runs down the aisle, looking back, probably because Bret is still after him. He runs into the ring, and hits Austin from behind with the chair. He then helps Vince up to his feet, and then…HEYMAN CLOCKS VINCE WITH THE CHAIR!!!!!!!! Ford Field goes berserk, as Heyman turns on McMahon. He stands over Vince and we can hear him screaming at Vince, “This was all my plan, but you ruined it!!! I only wanted you in Brock’s corner, but YOU had to be better. I’m sick of you, and sick of you always trying to outdo me!!! I’m Paul Heyman, don’t forget that!!!â€
Paul then looks around the ring, and sees Austin going to cover Lesnar, and Chioda getting in to count. He then smashes the chair against the back of Stone Cold, and the cheers turn to boo’s for Heyman, as it becomes clear he is still on Lesnar’s side, but against Vince. He then nails Chioda with the chair, sending him to the outside again. He helps Brock up, and hands him the chair, then Ford Field erupts again, as Bret Hart comes through the crowd, and jumps into the ring, and spears down Heyman, pounding him down, but then as he gets up, he is met with an F5 from Lesnar!!!
Brock then nails Stone Cold with the chair again, and revives McMahon to make the cover,

…AUSTIN KICKS OUT!!!…
Brock lies flat out on the mat, totally spent from Austin’s unbelievable courage in this unreal match. He and Vince then decide to double team Austin, and eventually drag him up, whip him off the ropes, but Austin ducks a double clothesline, and nails both men with a double clothesline of his own, but all three men are down.
Twenty seconds pass with little movement between any of the men, but eventually all three begin to try and get to their feet, while this happens, Bret also recovers, and picks up the chair. He looks around the ring, at the three men, first at Lesnar, and the crowd cheers for him to hit Brock, then at Austin, but the crowd boo, and tell him not to, then he looks at McMahon, and the arena goes nuts wanting him to nail McMahon. Bret then points at Vince and goes toward him, but instead of nailing him with the chair, BRET HELPS VINCE TO HIS FEET, AND HANDS HIM THE CHAIR!!!
Vince smiles, takes the chair, then gives Bret a playful slap to the face, and the two men hug!!! Ford Field is ready to blow, as the hug breaks, but Bret’s smile then turns to a scowl, and he NAILS MCMAHON WITH A LOW BLOW!!! McMahon drops to his knees, holding his mid section, but Bret doesn’t see Brock coming, and is taken down with a clothesline from the 295 pounder!!!
Heyman now gets back into the ring, and jumps Austin from behind, stopping Stone Cold from getting Lesnar. Brock then gets Stone Cold up on his shoulders, and goes for the F5, but Austin lands on his feet, and goes for a Stunner, but Lesnar pushes Austin away, but Stone Cold clotheslines Heyman, then comes back, but is met with an F5!!! He gets a cover, but there is no referee available to make the count. Lesnar slaps Vince awake, then sees Austin getting up, and goes for the F5 again, but Austin fights out, ducks a clothesline, and NAILS THE STUNNER!!! He covers…

Austin then grabs McMahon by the shirt, but Brock NIPS UP, and comes from behind to Austin. He then kicks him into the corner, and goes to run at him, but Austin moves out of the way, and Lesnar bounces out…INTO THE STUNNER!!!!
Austin covers again…

AUSTIN WINS!!!!!! MCMAHON TAPPED THREE TIMES, COUNTING AS A PINFALL!!!!
Winner; STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!
Austin goes to each turnbuckle in celebration, as Brock and Heyman help each other up the ramp, and McMahon is flopped out on the outside. Austin is bloody, battered, and beaten down, but he is the winner!!! He calls for two beers, then hands them to Bret. At first, Bret refuses, telling Austin is isn’t happy with him from Smackdown for stunning him, but Austin convinces him, and Bret eventually agrees. Austin then calls for two beers of his own, and they toast in the ring, and celebrate this awesome victory.
Michael Cole: I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! An unreal match, with the most bizarre pinfall finish. McMahon said that he must make the count, on his own, with his will, and HE DID!!! Against all the odds, Austin has done it!!! Despite facing an athlete in his prime, despite being out of the ring for ten months, despite facing his biggest enemy of all time as the referee, Stone Cold, has overcome all the odds, and along with Bret Hart has had the last laugh!!!
Tazz: This my friend, was a classic. The build up was so intense, the anticipation was so high, but it all delivered!!! From the action between Brock and Austin, to Heyman nailing Vince, to Bret making us all think he was siding with McMahon, What a rollercoaster, what a rocket buster!!! I have never seen a finish to a match quite like it Cole!!!
Michael Cole: Folks, it has been a pleasure to call Wrestlemania here tonight, but right now, Smackdown is going to sign off, and hand it over to RAW for the main event. Along with Tazz, I’m Michael Cole, signing off from WrestleMania. Its all yours J.R…
Jim Ross: Thank you Michael. Folks, right now, I am over the moon for Steve Austin, a close personal friend of mine, but I am so pumped, because we are about to see history be made, as Randy Orton faces John Cena, in the youngest WrestleMania main event of all time. Both men still in their twenties, Orton, the youngest champion of all time, Cena, his first ever singles main event, Pay Per View match, and what a time to have it.
Jerry Lawler: It all comes down to this J.R. Its all on the line. The title, reputations, bragging rights. Will Orton be triumphant?? Will Cena choke on the big stage, or will he make history?? Lets find out…

Randy Orton © vs. John Cena
Orton then jumps down off the top turnbuckle, and locks eyes with Cena, who walks across the ring to Orton. Orton drops the belt, and the two men immediately go at it!! Orton throws a right, which is blocked by Cena, Cena then throws a punch, which is blocked by the Legend Killer, then Orton catches Cena with a left, and a right, and a left, and a right in quick succession, but Cena comes right back, taking down Orton, and unloading with eight lefts and rights to the skull. He picks up Orton, and whips him off the ropes, connecting with a reverse elbow, knocking the champion back down to the ground. He picks up the belt, and swings at the champion, but Orton ducks, and knocks the championship out of Cena’s hands, then smacks Cena with some lefts and rights, before whipping him off the ropes, but Cena reverses the whip, and sends the champion off the ropes, but Orton ducks a clothesline, bounces off the ropes, but runs into a dropkick from Cena, directly to the chin.
Cena then stands over Orton, and tells him that “You cant seeee me!!â€, then bounces off the ropes, and hit’s the five knuckle shuffle. He gets the first cover of the match, 1...2...Kick Out. Cena then bounces off the ropes again, and hit’s a running knee lift to Orton. The Dr. of Thuganomics then picks up Randy again, and whips him off the ropes, but as Orton comes back, he hit’s a swinging neck breaker, retaking the advantage in this match.
Orton then raises his hand in the air, signalling for the RKO. Cena gets up, and Orton goes for it, but Cena pushes him into the ropes, and then gets him up for the FU, but Orton lands on his feet, then goes for an FU to Cena, but he counters, and goes for an RKO, but Orton then pushes Cena over the top rope, to the floor, in a desperate attempt to save himself this early on.
Orton is then dragged by the legs to the outside by Cena, and the two young men slug it out on the outside, punch for punch, in a no quarter asked, none given style which gets the crowd solidly into the match. Orton looks to be getting the best of the brawl, but Cena begins to fire back, and knocks Orton down. He then bounces Orton’s head off the announce table, but Orton then elbows Cena away, and comes at him, but Cena sees him coming and hit’s a back body drop, with Orton landing on the unprotective mat on the outside. Cena then goes to pick up Orton, but the Legend Killer kicks him away, then gets up, and body slams him onto the floor. Orton then picks up a chair, and goes to ram it into the sternum of Cena, but the challenger blocks it, then kicks the chair out of his hands, and then hit’s a jawbreaker to Orton. Cena then picks up the chair, and goes for Orton, but Orton blocks it, and rams Cena into the barricade, before rolling him back into the ring.
Orton stomps Cena in the corner, then chokes him with his foot, before releasing, and picking him up. He whips Cena off the ropes, and then goes for a sleeper, but its too early in the match, and Cena fights out quickly, then goes for a clothesline, but Orton ducks, and then rolls up the challenger, 1...2...Kick Out. Cena then jumps up, but Orton takes his opponent down with a fireman’s carry, before hitting a knee drop, 1...2...Kick Out again. Orton then picks up Cena and chops him, but Cena comes back with a chop to Orton. He then goes for a DDT, but Orton counters into an arm drag, and applies an arm bar, but Cena quickly rolls through, and breaks the hold, then drops his leg on Orton. He covers, 1...2...Kick Out. Cena then picks up Orton, but the champion hit’s a forearm uppercut, then throws Cena to the outside, before untying the top turnbuckle.
Cena gets back in, but is met by a clothesline from Orton. Randy whips Cena off the ropes, but lowers his head too early, and Cena kicks him, then follows up with a throwback. He covers the champion, 1...2...Kick Out!!! Orton gets up quickly, but walks right into a flapjack from Cena, then quickly, and smartly rolls out to take a break from Cena, who seems to be gathering some momentum. Cena realises that Orton is trying to get a breather, and quickly follows to the outside in pursuit. He stalks Orton around the ringside area, pounding him on the back, as Orton staggers away. Orton then falls over the timekeepers table, as Cena closes in, but Orton has just lured him, and nails Cena with the ring bell.
Cena falls backward, flopping to the ground.
Orton then picks Cena up, and the challenger has been busted open from the bell shot. Orton throws Cena over the guard rail, and follows, into the crowd, and he begins to pound on Cena through the crowd. The Dr. of Thuganomics looks to be a little worse for wear after being busted open, and could well be concussed, as he staggers through the sea of humanity, being followed by the champion, who has a big advantage at this time. Orton continues to punch Cena through the audience, then Cena grabs a cup of cola, and throws it at Orton, temporarily blinding the champion. Cena then clotheslines Randy down, and grabs another cup of cola, and takes a long drink, before stomping on Orton.
John Cena then picks Orton up, and pulls him through the crowd, to the ramp way, where the two men slug it out, punch for punch. Cena wins this exchange, beating Orton down to his knees, then he boots Orton in the face, and goes for a knee drop, but The Champion moves out of the way, and Cena hit’s the steel ramp way instead. Orton then once again takes the advantage, and whips Cena onto the apron, back first, before getting him back into the ring. Orton stomps at the knee of Cena, after Cena missed the knee drop moments ago. He kicks and stomps at the body part, then tries to pull the leg out of its socket, before dragging Cena to his feet, and whipping him to the corner. Orton pounds on his opponent, and kicks at the knee, before walking back out, and posing at the fans. Orton then turns back around, and is met with Cena, who bursts out of the corner, with a HUGE clothesline!!! Cena then grabs the ropes, showing the pain of his knee, then shaking it loose, before grounding Orton, and furiously pounding at the champion.
Cena then whips Orton off the ropes, but the champion ducks a clothesline, and comes back with a chop block to the already injured knee of Cena. Randy then sweeps the leg again, bringing Cena down like a sack of potatoes, before dropping an elbow to the knee, and then Orton grabs the leg, and starts to strut ala his buddy Ric Flair, and signals for the Figure Four. Orton goes for it, but hooks Orton’s leg, and trips him to the mat, before getting up, and catapulting the champion into the exposed turnbuckle which Orton exposed himself!!! Orton then staggers back, busted open, and walks into a Russian leg sweep from the challenger. Cena covers, 1...2...Kick Out!!!
Both men stay down for a little bit, as Cena shows the effects of his leg injury, and Orton tries to recover from the Russian leg sweep, and the fact he has just been busted open. Cena is up first, and body slams Orton, before bouncing off the ropes, but Orton jumps up, and kicks Cena’s knee again. Orton then stomps Cena to the mat, before dropping his knee onto Cena, and four consecutive elbows to the knee too. Orton then drags Cena to the corner, and places his leg on the second rope, before tying it up in the ropes, letting Cena dangle. Orton chokes Cena with his foot, and then stomps the leg, which Cena cannot do anything about. Eventually, Cena is freed from the ropes, but Orton keeps up with the pressure, kicking Cena to the mat, with consecutive shots to the knee. The Champion then grabs the leg again, and for the second time, tries to lock in the Figure Four, and this time, he does!!!
Cena is flat out on the mat in pain, and his shoulders hit the mat, 1...2...Shoulder goes up. Cena looks to be drifting out of the match, as his shoulders hit the mat again, 1...2...Shoulder goes up again. Orton then waits for the referee to look away, and he pulls on the ropes for extra leverage, causing the challenger to yell out in agony. Cena tries his best to make the ropes, pulling as hard as he can, but doesn’t seem to have much luck, and the shoulders go down once again, 1...2...Kick Out. Cena then shoots up, in one big burst, and pulls again to bring himself to the ropes, but falls just short, as Orton begins to smile, knowing Cena could tap in a few seconds. Cena’s shoulders fall again, 1...2...Shoulder up from Cena again!!! Cena then pulls one last time to make the ropes……he throws his hand to the ropes and……MAKES IT!!!!
Orton cant believe the challenger made the ropes, and releases the hold, then tries to pull Cena back to the centre, but is kicked away by the Dr. of Thuganomics, then Cena manages to get to his feet, and hit’s a DDT to the Legend Killer!!! Both men are down, and stay down, as the referee begins to count them out…

Cena makes it to his feet first, and waits until Orton rises before hitting a clothesline, then a second, and a third, then rams Orton into the corner, and unloads with at least a dozen right hands, before telling Orton that, “Youuuuu cannnnnnnnnnnt seeeeeee meeeeeeee!!!†then hit’s a hip toss across the ring before getting a cover, 1...2...Kick Out from Orton.
Cena now looks like he is stepping it up a gear in this match, and picks up a steel chair, and THROTTLES Orton with it, turning Orton’s slight cut, into a deep wound. He covers the Legend Killer…

Cena looks impressed with Orton being able to kick out rather than disappointed, then picks up Orton, but Randy turns the tables once again, this time, with a well placed rake to the eyes, followed by a DDT. Orton pulls himself up on the ropes, and picks up the chair, with the blood dripping from his brow, getting into his eyes. He picks the weapon up, and waits for Cena to get up, and turn around, then NAILS HIM!!! Orton gets the cover,

Orton puts his head down in disappointment that Cena kicked out. He stomps on the head of cena, trying to open the challengers wound, which has all but closed over from earlier on in the match. He picks Cena up, but the Dr. of Thuganomics fights back, then bounces off the ropes, but as he comes at Orton, Orton sidesteps him, and sends the challenger to the outside!! The Champion follows, and drops Cena, rib first onto the barricade, before ramming him, head first, into the steel steps. Orton then bounces Cena’s head off the steps four times, before ramming him into the barrier again. Cena flops to the ground in a heap, while Orton looks under the ring for a weapon. He pulls out a trashcan, but as he goes for cena, the challenger sees him coming, and kicks him in the gut, then takes the trashcan, and plants Orton with it. Orton staggers around ringside, with Cena following, and hit’s the champion with the trashcan again, this time to the back. Orton then sits against the barrier, with Cena coming at him with the trashcan, but Orton hit’s a drop toe hold, and Cena hit’s the barrier, jaw first. He bounces back, and clutches his face in agony, as Orton staggers up, and tries to lift up the steel steps, eventually getting them up. Orton then THROWS the steps at Cena, which catch the challenger square in the face, with Ford Field letting out a HUGE “Oooooooooooooâ€. Cena falls to the ground again, as Orton uses the apron to stay up. We get a close up of Cena, who has now had his wound well and truly re-opened after the step shot. Orton then doesn’t let the moment slip, and gets onto Cena, rolling him back into the ring, covering the Dr. of Thuganomics,

Orton slaps his own face in disgust, and then picks up Cena, before hitting a uppercut forearm, backing Cena into the corner. He stomps at the challenger, then walks back a little and goes for a splash into the corner, but Cena moves, then hit’s a reverse elbow to champion. Cena takes a moment to catch his breath, leaning against the ropes, then decides to take a risk, and begins to climb to the top rope. He looks a little unsteady, and nearly slips off, but just as he is ready to jump off, Randy kicks the ropes, and Cena gets caught on the top rope. Orton then slowly climbs to the top rope, and pounds the back of Cena, before hooking him up, and nailing a superplex!!!! The two warriors are both out of it, and Earl Hebner has to count them out…

Orton looks ready to cry, as the energy levels are fading for both men at this stage, with neither having much left to give. Orton slowly picks up Cena, but cena drops down, a cradles Orton…1...2...Kick Out!!! Both jump up, and Cena goes for a clothesline, but Orton ducks, and gets a backslide on Cena, 1...2...Kick Out!! Both men get to their feet again, but Orton rolls up Cena with a handful of tights, 1...2...Kick Out again!!! Orton then goes for a dropkick, but Cena moves out of the way, then gets a victory roll on Orton, 1...2...ORTON ROLLS THROUGH FOR A COVER, 1...2...CENA ROLLS THROUGH AGAIN, 1...2...KICK OUT!!!
Both men seem to being digging deep, and pulling out all the stops in one last effort for victory. They both jump up, Orton runs at Cena, but the challenger hits an arm drag, then goes for the Figure Four himself, but Orton quickly gets to the ropes before the hold can be locked on. Hebner is then forced to pull Cena away from Orton, and while this happens, Orton grabs Cena’s chain, which goes unnoticed by the Dr. of Thuganomics, so he walks over to Orton, and gets planted with the chain!!! In desperation, Orton puts his feet on the ropes for the pinfall,

Orton’s eyes nearly pop out of his head in amazement for Cena kicking out. He cannot believe the desire of Cena. Randy picks up cena, and whips him off the ropes, then as he comes back, Orton applies a sleeper. Cena immediately fades, and Hebner has no choice but to put Cena’s arm up…FALLS DOWN…up again…FALLS DOWN…one last time…THE ARM GOES DOW- NO!!!! CENA KEEPS HIS ARM UP!!! The challenger then gets to his knees, with the crowd well and truly behind him all the way. Cena elbows Orton in the gut, and again, as Orton’s grip begins to wear out. Cena eventually elbows his way out, and breaks free of Orton.
He bounces off the ropes, and scores with a clothesline. Cena then signals to the crowd, and gets Randy up for the FU, but Orton fights out, saving himself from going down, then goes for a clothesline, but Cena ducks, and John Cena SCORES WITH AN RKO TO ORTON!!! He falls on top of Randy for the pinfall…

Orton gets up, and stomps on Cena, then bounces off the ropes, but walks into a spine buster from the challenger!!! Both men are down, in this truly gruelling championship slugfest, as Cena slowly crawls over on top of Orton, 1...2...Kick Out again!!! Cena gets to his feet, then falls backwards into the ropes, looking absolutely spent. He then slightly recovers, and picks up Orton, but Orton hit’s a jawbreaker to cena, who staggers away, then turns back to Orton, and is met with an RKO!!!!!!!! Randy hooks the leg for the title…

Randy then realises that it will take something big to win this match, and picks up Cena, then places him on the top rope, with J.R and King speculating that he’ll go for a superplex, but then, Orton gets to the top rope himself, then is ready to go for an RKO off the top, but Cena fights it, forcing Orton to turn around, but Cena ducks a right, then gets Orton up on his shoulders, and turns him around, then HIT’S THE FU OFF THE TOPR ROPE!!!!
“Holy Shit†fills the arena, as Cena crawls to the lifeless Orton, crawls, and crawls, and gets an arm over…

Winner; And…NEWWWWWWWW World Heavyweight Champion, JOHN CENA!!!
Cena rolls over, and puts his head in his hands, in disbelief that his dream has finally come true, and he is the Champion of the World, picking up his first ever title win, at the main event of WrestleMania.
Earl Hebner helps him to his feet, and awards him with the Title belt, which Cena hugs then celebrates like a mad man to the Ford Field crowd. Meanwhile, Orton is helped out of the ring by officials, looking dazed, and upset, and as he reaches the top of the ramp, turns around, and looks to the ring where Cena is celebrating, and takes a moment to clap his rival, who on this night was just better…
Cena continues the celebrations, going to each turnbuckle, looking very emotional, as we prepare to end the PPV……
Jim Ross: CENA!!! CENA WINS!!!! CENA WINS!!! CENA WINS!!! John Cena has proved the critics wrong, he’s proved Evolution wrong, and has proved that he belongs!!! John Cena has lived his dream, and become the World Heavyweight Champion!!! Randy Orton has been beaten, and beaten on level terms, in a heck of a contest, with nothing held back, but one true champion has been crowned!!!
Jerry Lawler: I’m seeing it, but I sure as hell don’t believe it J.R. Credit where credit is due, John Cena had a great performance here tonight, but you have to commend Randy Orton for being the valiant, true champion that he is, when he decided to go it alone, and try to prove he was the man, but on this night, in this arena, in this incredible event, we have a NEW World Heavyweight Champion for RAW!!! John Cena bested Orton, end of story.
Jim Ross: Right here, we have shown you tonight, that while all the glitz, and all the glamour surrounding this event was great, its in the ring where it all goes down, tonight not only John Cena and Randy Orton let it hang loose, but so did the other forty seven superstars involved in the action tonight. An incredible effort from everybody here tonight, has made this arguably THE greatest WrestleMania of ALLLLLL time!!!!
Jerry Lawler: I must be getting sentimental in my old age J.R, but for once, I’m in total agreement with you!!!
Jim Ross: The journey to WrestleMania Twenty One has ended, but folks, we can now begin the journey to WrestleMania Twenty Two!!! Its been an emotional, roller coaster of a ride to get this far, for this mind-blowing event. It has been my pleasure to call this epic WrestleMania, and it has been my pleasure in providing each and every one of you with something that I hope you never EVER forget…Goodnight…
End of show
