**PYRO**
*PYRO*
The camera zooms around the arena, showing the screaming fans. It stops on one fan that has a ‘Chavo Sucks’ sign, then we go to Tazz and Joey Styles at commentary.
Tazz: Welcome everybody to the first edition of ECW after Wrestlemania 24! We join you now from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I am Tazz and this is my broadcast partner Joey Styles.
Styles: Thank you Tazz. Wrestlemania certainly was an exciting one for the ECW Brand, as we saw CM Punk win the Money in the Bank Ladder Match!
Tazz: And we also saw a new ECW Champion crowned when Kane defeated Chavo Guerrero!
**OOH CHAVO**
Styles: Speak of the devil, here comes our former champ.
Former ECW Champion Chavo Guerrero makes his way out to the ring with a serious look on his face. He wastes no time taunting to the crowd, and instead he just rolls into the ring and begins to speak.
Chavo: Sunday, at Wrestlemania. I was beaten by the freak known as Kane! The victory was a fluke, I wasn’t even ready! Everybody knows the champion comes in after the challenger. Kane clearly broke this rule and therefore should be stripped of the ECW Championship! I wo-
**SLOW CHEMICAL**
The new ECW Champion Kane comes down to the ring to a HUGE pop. He steps into the ring and stares at Chavo, laughing manically. Chavo puts the mic to his mouth to speak, but Kane snatches the microphone from his hand.
Kane: Chavo, you just can’t face the fact that I beat your sorry little ass in eight seconds! You think I should be stripped of the ECW Championship? If anyone tries to take my title...then I will send them straight to hell!
**WELL, IT’S THE BIG SHOW**
The 7 foot giant named Big Show steps out from behind the curtain. He garners quite a bit of heat from the Oklahoma crowd. He enters the ring with a microphone already in his hand.
Big Show: Kane, on Sunday, I, like Chavo, suffered a very humiliating victory. I lost to a man half my size and half of my weight. I lost because I am half a man without my title. My ECW Championship! Everything that has ever happened in the past can stay in the past. Forget history, as we shall rewrite it Kane! I want you at Backlash for that title around your waist!
The crowd give Show a mixed reaction after this cheesy speech.
Chavo: Hold on big guy, I was here first, and I have a rematch clause. I will be facing Kane at Backlash, not you!
Big Show: Why don’t we make it a triple threat then Guerrero?
Chavo: Because you don’t deserve it. You are not a warrior; you are not anything compared to me!
Chavo has a smug look on his face, so Show grabs him by the throat. Kane laughs as Chavo squirms, trying to escape Big Show’s grip. Suddenly, Armando Estrada struts out onto the ramp without any entrance music.
Estrada: Whoa whoa whoa. Now Big Show lets not rush in things huh? Chavito vs Kane will be happening at Backlash! And Big Show if joo want to be in that match, den joo will have do beat Chavito here tonight on E C Double Joo! Ha ha ha!
Estrada goes to the back, as Big Show lets go of Chavo who runs out of the ring. Big Show and Kane are laughing as we go to commercial.
**COMMERCIAL**
When we return we see Kofi Kingston making his way to the ring to a pop. He slaps the hands of as many fans as he can, then poses and enters the ring.
Tazz: Can this red hot youngster keep his undefeated streak alive here tonight?
Styles: I don’t know Tazz, but we are about to find out!
**MY NAME IS FINLAY, AND I LOVE TO FIGHT**
The fighting Irishman Finlay comes out to the ring accompanied by Hornswoggle. He is sporting a bandage on his head after Sunday’s brutal Belfast Brawl against Bradshaw. Finlay is getting a face reaction slightly larger than Kofi’s. Hornswoggle is dancing around whilst Finlay is smiling and tapping a few peoples hands. Finlay enters the ring and drops his shillelagh in the corner, then grins, ready for action.
Match 1: Finlay vs Kofi Kingston
Ending: The brawling style of Finlay has forced Kofi out of his comfort zone for most of this match, and Kofi uses some offensive manoeuvres that he has never used before. Finlay has Kofi locked in an armbar, and Kingston is desperately trying to power out. Eventually, Kingston manages to elbow Finlay in the face, and then again and one more time before the Fighting Irishman lets go. As Finlay checks his nose for blood, Kofi bounces off of the ropes and comes back with a huge flying clothesline that knocks Finlay to his feet. Kofi gets up and does a quick dance, before performing a back-flip. Finlay gets up, and Kingston delivers an amazing kick to the head of Finlay. Finlay staggers backwards into the ropes, and bounces off. Kofi bounces on the middle rope adjacent to the one Finlay bounced off, and does a spectacular corkscrew-esque jump, aiming for Finlay. The Fighting Irishman dodges Kofi’s athletic move, sending the Jamaican crashing down into the canvas. Finlay gets the cover...

......No! Kingston gets the shoulder up!
Finlay holds his head in his hands, disappointed. He gets up and pulls Kofi too his feet by his hair, and gets him in a headlock. Kofi struggles to stay on his feet, as the life is rapidly being drained from him. Finlay locks the hold in tighter, and Kofi looks like he is about to faint. The crowd start to clap, and as they do Kofi holds up his arm and tries to get back to his feet. The crowds claps grow louder, and gradually get faster. Kofi starts to turn his body around, forcing himself out of the hold. Kingston has a load of momentum going now, as he whips Finlay into the turnbuckle. Kofi runs over to the corner and jumps onto the ropes either side of Finlay, and sets him up for a huge DDT. Finlay counters yet again however, and climbs the turnbuckle with Kofi on his shoulders. He positions him for the Celtic Cross, but the Jamaican slides off and rolls the Irishman into a powerbomb position. Kingston nails a huge powerbomb, something incredible for a man of his size. Then as Finlay gets up, Kofi nails a Jamaican Buzzsaw and that was all she wrote.

......3! Kofi wins!
Kofi celebrates in the ring with a dance, after keeping his undefeated streak in unbelievable fashion. We cut to Estrada’s office where the GM is smoking a cigar. CM Punk enters with his newly won briefcase..
Estrada: Ey, de Punk what can I do for joo?
Punk: Estrada, Sunday at Wrestlemania I did ECW proud by winning the inter-promotional Money in the Bank Ladder Match. My win certainly raised a few eyebrows, I mean, when I cash in this case I will get a shot at the World Championship. People don’t think of me as a World Champion, Estrada. I need a challenge here tonight. I need a challenge to prove that I am a World Title contender.
Estrada: Joo need a challenge huh? Den I have da perfect opponent for joo, ha ha! Your match is up next so get ready!

**THIS FIRE BURNS**
When we return from commercial the Straight-Edge superstar’s music is blaring around the arena. CM Punk runs out onto the ramp with his MitB briefcase. Punk sprints down to the ring to a huge pop, and puts his briefcase by the announcers table. Punk slides into the ring and rolls his hands around.
**DAN.GAR**
The crowd go wild with boo’s and jeers, and CM Punk looks pretty terrified, but keeps his composure. The Great Khali storms out onto the ramp, with Ranjin Singh by his side. Khali steps over the ropes and into the ring and the bell is rung.
CM Punk vs The Great Khali
Khali advances on Punk, but Mr MitB moves out of the way. Khali chases Punk again, only to fall short as Punk rolls out of the ring. Khali follows suit, and leaves the ring to chase Punk. As Khali gets out of the ring, CM Punk starts to club at him with rights and lefts, but Khali shakes it off, grabs Punk by the head, and pushes him into the steel steps. The ref shouts at Khali, so the big man shouts back in Indian. Khali lifts Punk up and tosses him into the ring. Khali goes back into the ring and puts his foot over Punk’s chest.
1......2............It's not over! CM Punk kicks out! Khali glares at the referee, and shouts at him in Indian. The ref insists it was a 2, but Khali is having none of it. While Khali is shouting at the ref, Punk is making it up to his feet. He bounces off of the ropes and delivers a dropkick to Khali’s back. Khali goes forward, knocking the referee down. Khali turns around to grab Punk, but Mr MitB has already slid out of the ring. Khali follows Punk out of the ring for a second time in this match. Khali is on one side of the ring, and Punk is on the other. Ranjin Singh gets a steel chair and sneaks up next to Punk, but CM Punk see’s him, and ducks the chair shot, reversing into a firemans carry. Singh is screaming and wriggling around, and Khali is fuming. Punk mouths something to Khali, and then hits a GTS on Singh. Khali runs yet again and this time Punk doesn’t run away. He picks up the chair that Singh had and gets ready to hit Khali with it. Khali just boots the chair into Punk’s face as he goes to hit him with it. Khali then tosses Punk over into the announce table. Punk just bounces off and lands next to his briefcase. Khali checks on Ranjin Singh, giving Punk valuable time to recover. By the time Khali gets over to Punk, the Straight-Edge Superstar has already positioned himself perfectly, waiting to strike. As Khali bends down, CM Punk brings the briefcase up hard, striking Khali over the head with it. The referee is starting to stir as Punk wallops Khali over the head another time with the case. Punk smashes the briefcase over Khali a third time, bring the giant to his knees. Punk runs and smashes Khali’s face with the briefcase, knocking him down. The referee is back on his feet, and counts the ringout, as Punk throws the case back to the ground. Punk picks up the steel chair that Singh had, and opens it out. The referee is shouting at Punk, telling him to put it down. Punk gets Khali’s foot, and puts the chair over it, onto his ankle. The ref shouts at Punk but he doesn’t listen, and stamps on the chair, crushing Khali’s ankle. The ref calls for the bell as Punk stomps down on the chair a second time, causing Khali great pain. Medics rush out to check on Khali, and Punk picks up his briefcase and walks up the ramp, smirking.
We cut backstage to Shelton Benjamin’s locker room. Shelton is sitting, watching replays of the last match on a monitor.
Shelton: Wow, I didn’t think Punk had it in him.
Elijah Burke enters the room and sits down next to Shelton.
Elijah: Hey Shelton, I just wanted to ask you something. You know, well now that-
Shelton: Hold on a second. (looks at cameraman) Get the hell outta here!
The camera moves backwards as the door is slammed shut. We cut to a video hyping Big Daddy V, saying that the Mastodon will be back in 1 month.
**COMMERCIAL**
Joey Styles: Welcome back to ECW, we have already witnessed a huge upset, Kofi Kingston kept his undefeated streak alive at the expense of the wily veteran, Finlay.
Tazz: And we saw the dark side to CM Punk, when he crushed the ankle of the Great Khali! And up next we have been promised an announcement from Vince McMahon!
**NO CHANCE**
Joey Styles: Here comes the WWE Chairman, I wonder what he has to say.
Vince walks out to a mixed reaction. Some people booing him because of his heelish manner, and some people cheering as they know he has got a huge announcement to make. Vince walks down to the ring with a mic in hand.
Vince: Hello Oklahoma!
POP
Vince: Now as you know I am here to make an announcement. Now I have been thinking lately. Thinking about this brand named ECW. I have been thinking about how passionless it is. All ECW is is another WWE Franchise. It isn’t ECW anymore. Watching the old tapes of The Sandman and Sabu, I thought to myself, I have failed. This new ECW failed. So now I am out here to make an announcement regarding the future of ECW. First and foremost, the talent share with Smackdown is over, I need to know that ECW can survive by itself, so I have moved The Big Show to ECW permanently and I have moved The Miz and John Morrison over to Smackdown. 2nd of all, is an announcement regarding the management of ECW. Armando Estrada, get out here.
There is a pause, before ECW General Manager Estrada comes out to the ring.
Estrada: Wat do joo want Vince?
Vince: I want to tell you that....I am retiring and you are the new chairman of the WWE!
Estrada: Oh sweet jesus yess! Thank joo Mr McMahon!
Vince: APRIL FOOLS!
LAUGHTER
Vince: What I was really going to say is....YOUR FIRED!
POP
Estrada: No pleas-
Vince: Get outta my ring!
POP
Vince: A new ECW General Manager will be revealed next week on ECW. If ECW fails now under his management, then the 3rd brand will be disbanded! New talent will be brought in to the brand and the dead wood will be removed. Get ready for a new era!
Tazz: Now that is groundbreaking Joey, ECW is on the up now!
**WELL, IT’S THE BIG SHOW**
The Big Show walks out onto the stage and makes his way down the ramp. He passes McMahon and the two stare at each other, before going their separate ways. Big Show steps into the ring, anticipating his upcoming match against Chavo.
**OOH CHAVO**
Joey Styles: Here comes the number 1 contender for Kane’s ECW Championship, now the question is can Big Show defeat this man and make the Backlash match a triple threat?
Chavo walks out to heat. He taunts to the crowd before strutting confidently down to the ring, rolling in and staring at Big Show cockily. Show goes to grab Chavo by the throat but Chavo kicks him where it hurts. Chavo bounces off of the ropes and boots Big Show in the head. The referee calls for the bell and the match is underway.
Chavo runs towards the downed Big Show, but Show trips him and Chavo goes head-first into the turnbuckle. Chavo bounces off and lands awkwardly on the canvas. Big Show gets back to his feet, then waits for Chavo. Chavo slowly gets back up, and Big Show signals for a chokeslam! Chavo turns around, and ducks Show’s hand. Chavo bounces off of the ropes and comes back with a dropkick to Big Show’s midsection. Chavo then thinks fast and hits a sharp kick to the back of Big Show’s legs. Chavo hits another combination of kicks on Big Show, before running up to the ropes. Chavo jumps onto the middle rope and backflips, but Big Show catches him in mid-air. Show slams Chavo down into the canvas. Chavo rolls around in pain, as Big Show lifts him straight back up. Show tosses Chavo into the turnbuckle, then runs at him. Show goes for a huge splash into Chavo, but Guerrero jumps out of the way. Show collides with the turnbuckle, then Chavo rolls him up. Guerrero gets his feet on the top rope for leverage, as the referee counts...
...1...
...2...
.....3!
Chavo rolls out of the ring and starts jumping for joy. Big Show gets to his feet and stares at Guerrero, before shaking his head in shame.
The camera fades out.
This has been a WWE: New Era Production.
