World Wrestling Entertainment ~ A Kubz Production

This week's Power 25 has been updated!

August 6th 2012


[RAW comes on the air as Monster blares through the speakers. The commentators introduce us to the show before the camera sweeps over the crowd, showing many signs. The camera snaps round to the ring as Triple H’s music hits and the COO of the WWE walks out onto the stage to a loud ovation from the crowd. Triple H looks out to the crowd before continuing down the ramp and getting in the ring, grabbing a mic on his way. Triple H stares into the camera and begins to laugh slightly before saying that last week Vince McMahon proved that the older he gets the more cowardly he becomes. He goes on to say that the fact he got two guys who have an obvious beef with himself, Triple H, to attack him from behind shows that Vince knows that he could have taken Randy and Brock on if the fight had been face to face. Triple H continues to say that regardless of how much Vince wants the company back in his sole control, he is going around it the wrong way. Triple H goes to say more but is cut off by the music of Randy Orton. Randy walks out onto the stage and remains there with a mic in his hand. Randy goes to begin talking but Triple H cuts him off and tells him that nobody interrupts him and gets away with it. Triple H goes on to say that he wants to talk to the man himself, Vince, and not his lackey. Randy just laughs this comment off and tells Triple H that if he wants to speak to Vince then he does it on Vince’s terms and not his own. Randy informs Triple H that Vince will be here tonight and if he wants to talk to Triple H then he will but if not then Triple H will just have to wait a little longer before getting his answers.]

[We open up in the parking lot area which seems to be pretty full. A limousine pulls up just outside of the entrance to the arena. Brock Lesnar steps out of the back and the fans begin to boo loudly as he enters the arena. He heads inside and walks off down the hallway as the scene fades.]

[We come back to the ring and Sin Cara makes his way out onto the stage. He runs down the ramp and jumps in the ring before Big Show makes his way out to cheers from the crowd. Show gets in the ring before Daniel Bryan runs out with his Intercontinental Championship around his waist to massive “YES” chants from the crowd. He runs down the ramp before getting in the ring as Kane makes his way out with his United States Championship. Kane takes his time making his entrance before getting in the ring, ready for this match.]

Sin Cara & Big Show versus Daniel Bryan & Kane ~ Tag Team #1 Contender Tournament Quarter Final

[Show and Bryan look set to start this one off, taking us back to their short feud from a few months ago. Show and Bryan shake hands before Show takes down Bryan with a big clothesline. Bryan soon gets back to his feet but Show grabs him over the head with two hands before picking him up and throwing him into the corner. Show runs at Bryan and goes to squash him against the turnbuckles but Bryan quickly moves out of the way before running off the ropes and coming back with a big dropkick to Show. Show falls down to a seated position in the corner and Bryan begins to repeatedly kick him in the chest. Show eventually manages to catch Bryan’s foot and throws him back. Bryan gets to his feet and stumbles back into his corner and gets the tag to Kane. Kane steps over the top rope and squares up to Show in the centre of the ring. Kane throws the first punch and clocks Show over the jaw with a right hand before Show responds with a right hand of his own. Kane stumbles back a little but comes right back with a clothesline which causes Show to stumble back into the ropes. Kane charges at him and hits him with a clothesline which causes Show to slowly fall over the top rope to the outside. However, before Show went fully over the top rope Cara was able to reach over and tag himself in. Cara jumps up onto the top rope before springboarding over and catching Kane with a big hurricanrana which sends him packing into his corner. Kane gets to his feet and slaps Bryan’s chest, tagging the Intercontinental Champion in. Bryan gets in the ring and begins walking over to meet Cara but Kane spins him around and instead nails him with a Chokeslam. Kane shakes his head at the fallen Bryan before leaving the ring and heading backstage with his United States Championship in hand. Cara wastes little time and drops down on top of Bryan to get the three count.]

[Josh Mathews stands in the interview area and is joined by RAW’s newest superstar, Seth Rollins. Josh starts off by congratulating Seth on a successful first two weeks on the RAW roster. Josh then goes on to say that tonight he faces a much bigger opponent in Brodus Clay. Josh asks Seth how he can be able to prepare himself for a fight with a guy so much bigger than him, to which Seth just laughs. Seth says that it doesn’t matter how big the fighter is, it is how big the fight he has and Seth says that he has the biggest fight out of the two of them and later on tonight he will prove that to the entire WWE Universe.]

[Drew McIntyre is standing backstage in the hallway with Vickie Guerrero when Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks walk over with their WWE Tag Team Championships over their shoulders. Hawkins gets in Drew’s face and asks him what the hell happened on Smackdown. Curt says that they had an agreement that Drew would lay down and lose the match yet after he got Chokeslammed by Brodus Clay he seemed happy. Curt asks Drew what the hell that was about but Drew just laughs at Curt and says that they will see on Smackdown this Friday.]


~


[We come back to the ringside area and Alex Riley and Ted DiBiase make their way out first. Alex is dressed for action but Ted is in a suit so it looks like this will be a singles match. Alex gets in the ring and Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks make their way out next. The two of them make their way down the ramp before Hawkins gets in the ring for this match.]

Alex Riley w/ Ted DiBiase versus Curt Hawkins w/ Tyler Reks

[Curt charges at Alex straightaway and hits him wtih a right hand to the jaw that causes him to stumble back. Curt proceeds to hit Alex over the jaw over and over again until he is knocked down to the mat. Curt wastes no time and pulls Alex back to his feet before kicking him in the midsection and lifting him up before connecting with a suplex. Curt makes the cover on Alex but Alex kicks out after a mere one count. Curt gets back to his feet and waits for Alex to do the same before nailing him with a dropkick which sends him crashing into the corner. Curt wastes no time and pulls him out of the corner before nailing him with a snap DDT. Curt gets back to his feet and climbs to the top rope before diving down, connecting with the Heat Seeking Elbow. Curt hooks the leg of Alex and gets the three count to end this one early.]

[Eden Stiles stands in the interview area and is joined by Dolph Ziggler, who is standing next to Vickie Guerrero who is holding Dolph’s RAW Money In The Bank briefcase in her hands. Eden starts off by reminding everyone that at Summerslam Dolph Ziggler will put his Money In The Bank briefcase on the line against Daniel Bryan who will also be putting his Intercontinental Championship on the line. Eden asks Dolph why he attempted to cash in his Money In The Bank just over an hour after proclaiming he would put it on the line at Summerslam. Dolph tells Eden that she is an idiot if she doesn’t see why he did it. Dolph says that he did tell Daniel that the briefcase would only be on the line if he still had it at the time and Dolph saw an opening to cash it in last week on RAW but Daniel Bryan ruined that chance. Dolph tells Eden that he won’t cash it in before Summerslam now because he wants to prove to Daniel and the rest of the world that he is better than him and he will do so by retaining his briefcase and winning the Intercontinental Championship.]

Seth waits for Clay to turn around before running at him and nailing him with a dropkick to the jaw. Clay falls back into the corner and falls right into a seated position. Seth gets back to his feet and begins to kick Clay in the face over and over again until the referee reaches the count of four forcing Seth to stop. Seth takes a few steps back and lets Clay get back up before kicking him in the midsection and proceeding to jump on his shoulders for the hurricanrana. Clay stops it though and lifts Seth up before going to slam him down for a powerslam but Seth flips down behind Clay and hits the sunset flip on Clay for a quick victory.]

Punk shakes his head at this and tells Josh he knew that The Rock would show up sooner or later but he didn’t expect him to wait until the last show before the PPV. Punk says it doesn’t matter though because he told Rock that they would not lay their hands on each other or the match would be off so next week it will be entirely verbal and not physical in the least. Josh asks Punk how he is preparing himself for this big match at Summerslam but Punk just tells Josh to tune into the PPV and find out along with the rest of the WWE Universe.]

Del Rio spins Punk around before hitting him with a forearm shot which backs him into the corner.

Wade drags Punk out of the corner before lifting him up and slamming him back down with the suplex. Wade hooks the leg of Punk but Punk kicks out after just the one count. Wade gets back to his feet and pulls Punk with him before going to throw him in the corner but Punk blocks it and hits Wade in the midsection before throwing him into his own corner.

Dolph gets up and turns into Sheamus who runs at him for the Brogue Kick but Dolph ducks underneath. Dolph jumps back to his feet and pounces on the back of Sheamus, locking in the Sleeper Hold. Dolph has the hold locked in tight and Sheamus falls to one knee, beginning to fade. Dolph locks the hold in even tighter and Sheamus is now down to both knees when suddenly Daniel Bryan’s music hits. Bryan walks out onto the stage with his Intercontinental Championship over his shoulder and Dolph releases his hold, walking over to the ropes and shouting at Bryan to come down.

[We come back to the ring and Vince McMahon’s music hits to major boos from the crowd. Vince struts down the ramp and gets in the ring before grabbing a mic. Vince says that there is no point in wasting time and tells Triple H to get his ass out here right now. Triple H is quick to respond and walks out looking pissed off to his music. Triple H storms down the ramp and gets in the ring, already with a mic in hand. Vince starts off by apologising to Triple H for standing him up earlier but he says that he was a tad late in making it to the arena tonight. Triple H tells Vince to can his excuses because he doesn’t want to hear them. Triple H tells Vince that he is sick of hearing him complain about him no longer having complete control of the company because there is a reason that is the case. Vince tells Triple H to shut his damn mouth because he knows fine well he had no right to do what he did last year. Triple H claims to have had plenty of right because what Vince had done was drive this company into the ground. The two continue to go back and forth but due to the fact that the two are shouting over each other it becomes inaudible.]

I’m All Grown Up!

[There are massive cheers as the daughter of Vince McMahon and the wife of Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, walks out onto the stage. Stephanie looks down the ramp at the two men and shakes her head before walking down. Stephanie grabs a mic and gets in, staring at both men. Stephanie turns to Vince and tells him that he needs to stop this. Stephanie tells Vince that the Board Of Directors chose Triple H to run the day to day business but were kind enough to allow Vince to remain as the Chairman. Stephanie tells Vince that he needs to accept this fact and leave it be before things get out of hand. Vince is quick to retort and shouts at Stephanie to shut up. Vince says that Stephanie has always been a spoiled little brat and he has had enough. Vince says that Stephanie better get out of the ring because if she doesn’t she is going to get hurt. Triple H’s eyes flare up at this and he steps in between Stephanie and Vince, telling Vince not to lay a hand on her. Vince laughs and tells Triple H that he wasn’t planning on it.]

Here Comes The Pain!

[Brock Lesnar’s music hits and soon enough the man himself walks out onto the stage. Brock stares down at Triple H in the ring and slowly walks down just as Randy Orton comes running through the crowd and hops the barricade. Orton walks over to in front of the announce table and stands outside of the ring as Brock walks down the ramp. Brock and Orton both get onto opposite aprons at the same time and Triple H quickly shoos Stephanie out of the ring. Brock and Orton step in and join Vince, the three now staring at Triple H menacingly. The three begin to close in on Triple H in the corner, who looks ready to fight them off.]

Your Time Is Up, My Time Is Now!

[The fans jump to their feet in cheers as John Cena comes charging out onto the stage. He stops as the three men in the ring stare up the ramp, wondering what the hell he is doing. Cena nods towards Triple H and points to the entrance on the stage.]

Check One Two!

[The fans continue to cheer as Jack Swagger slowly walks out onto the stage. He joins Cena before the two charge down the ramp and jump in the ring. Brock runs at Cena and Orton lunges at Swagger but both men see them coming. Swagger grabs Orton by the waist before hitting him with a belly to belly suplex which sends him flying over the top rope to the outside. Cena then kicks Brock in the midsection before tossing him over the top rope to the outside. The two men then turn to Vince who scurries out of the ring and runs around to join Brock and Randy at the bottom of the ramp. He helps both men to their feet and the three back up the ramp as Triple H grabs a mic. Triple H says that he knew Vince would do this so he made a couple of phone calls and got these two guys on his side. Triple H asks Vince if he really wants his company back, to which Vince obviously says yes. Triple H says that if he really wants it then he will face him at Summerslam. Vince, Randy and Brock will go up against Triple H, John and Jack. Vince looks at both men at either side of him before turning back to Triple H and nodding. There is a massive onslaught of cheers from the crowd as Triple H throws down his mic. Stephanie gets back in the ring and joins Triple H and his partners in staring down the three men on the ramp as the credits begin to roll.]

Natalya finally gets Kharma down to a seated position before driving her boot into her throat until the referee reaches the count of four. Natalya takes a few steps back and allows Kharma to crawl out of the corner before kicking her hard in the side, ensuring she remains grounded. Natalya goes to grab the downed Kharma but Kharma is waiting for her and grabs her by the throat when she comes over. Kharma gets to her feet with her hand still around the throat of Natalya and she stares right through the Challenger with a menacing look on her face. Kharma lifts Natalya up for a Chokeslam but Natalya manages to get free and lands down behind Kharma. Natalya uses all her strength to shove Kharma away from her and the Women’s Champion runs straight into the referee. The referee hits the mat and rolls onto his front, his vision now completely impaired. Natalya then looks over at Beth and motions for her to do something. Beth runs over to Lilian Garcia and pulls the Women’s Championship from her hands before rushing in the ring. Beth instructs Natalya to hold Kharma still. Natalya hooks one of Kharma’s arms behind her back and hooks her neck with her other arm.

He steps into the centre of the ring and looks around at the crowd before finally speaking. Vince starts off by reminding everyone that in just six days the WWE will host the 25th anniversary of Summerslam. Vince says that at this event the control of the WWE will be on the line as Triple H, John Cena and Jack Swagger will take on himself, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton. There is a massive pop from the crowd at the mention of this match but Vince quickly tells them to shut up. Vince goes on to say that there is one tiny little detail that he forgot to mention last week when Triple H made the challenge. Vince says that due to his age, he is unable to compete in the match this Sunday but he has come up with a worthy solution. Vince says that he won’t be competing in the match this Sunday but there will be a McMahon fighting the name. Vince points up the ramp and the crowd are already cheering as they know who is coming.]

Here Comes The Money!

Roddy turns to Otunga and asks him what he is blabbering on about. Otunga goes to repeat himself but Roddy says he doesn’t care what he’s got to say. Roddy says it is a good thing he walked in when he did because he was just trying to figure out who should face Kane later on tonight.

[Kane makes his way out to the ring when we come back to the ring and the fans give him a mixed reaction. He makes his way down the ramp before getting in the ring as David Otunga makes his way out to massive boos from the crowd.

Kane versus David Otunga

[Kofi Kingston makes his way out to the ring with his Smackdown Money In The Bank briefcase in his hand when we get back to the ring. He gets in the ring and hands over his briefcase before Jack Swagger makes his way out with Abraham Washington to answer the challenge. Jack gets in the ring and seems very focused as Kofi just stares back at him.]

Kofi Kingston [Smackdown Money In The Bank Holder] versus Jack Swagger w/ Abraham Washington

[Kofi and Jack go straight at it the moment the bell rings and trade rights and lefts in the middle of the ring. Jack takes control of the match and knocks Kofi back into the ropes with hard right after hard right. Jack throws Kofi across the ring and goes to catch him on the rebound with a clothesline but Kofi ducks underneath before running off the ropes himself and coming back off the ropes with a big forearm shot to the top of his head. Jack staggers back into the ropes and Kofi charges at him before sending him crashing to the outside with a big dropkick. Kofi gets back to his feet and laughs as Jack pulls himself to his feet with the help of the announce table. Jack gets upright and turns to head back inside the ring but Kofi throws himself over the top rope, landing on Jack with a big crossbody. Kofi rolls off of Jack and gets to his feet before sliding in the ring as the referee starts the ten count. Jack doesn’t stir until the referee is at the count of four and finally rolls in the ring after the referee counts six. Kofi goes straight on the attack and begins to stomp away at Jack before pulling him to his feet and hitting him with a hurricarna that sends him across the ring. Kofi quickly makes the cover on Jack but he is able to get his foot on the bottom rope before the referee counts the three. Kofi gets back up and glares at the referee before turning to pull Jack to his feet. Jack sees him coming and punches him hard in the midsection which causes Kofi to double over. Jack hits Kofi with an uppercut to the jaw before climbing to his feet and turning Kofi inside out with a massive clothesline. Jack makes the cover on Kofi but only gets the two count before Kofi is able to kick out. Jack gets back to his feet and drags Kofi up with him before lifting him up for the Gutwrench Powerbomb but Kofi manages to use the momentum to get out of Jack’s grip and land on his feet behind him. Jack turns around and Kofi goes for the Trouble In Paradise but Jack catches Kofi’s foot before he hits him and quickly snaps on the Ankle Lock. The crowd are on their feet as it looks like Jack is on the verge of winning the Smackdown Money In The Bank briefcase. Kofi reaches out for the bottom rope but is too far away and is completely unable to turn the hold around to get out of Jack’s grasp. The fans begin to boo and, wondering why, Jack releases his hold to turn around. As soon as he does so, he finds Randy Orton waiting for him who jumps up and nails Jack with the RKO.]

Winner by DQ: Jack Swagger (therefore Kofi is still Smackdown Money In The Bank Holder)

[Orton gets back to his feet and stands over Jack as he is announced the winner. Kofi leaves the ring, hobbling, and grabs his briefcase before heading backstage. AW gets in the ring and shouts at Orton to get the hell out of the ring. Orton turns on AW and stares across at him with a glare. AW begins to back up but Orton grabs him by the collar and pulls him into the centre of the ring, getting in his face. Tyson Kidd and Booker T rush down the ramp to come to the aid of their manager. Orton throws AW away and turns as Kidd and Booker get in the ring. Kidd runs at Orton first and is met with a snap scoop powerslam from Orton. Orton gets back up and instantly catches Booker with a big RKO. Orton then gets back to his feet as Kidd does the same and nails Kidd with an RKO. Orton gets back up and AW goes to hit him before he gets to his feet but Orton springs up and nails the RKO on AW as well. The crowd are majorly booing Orton now as he stands in the centre of the ring with the camera panning out to show the four men sprawled out around him. Orton shouts into the camera that this will be the last night under Triple H’s control before throwing his arms up in his signature taunt. Smackdown goes off the air with Orton’s actions and words still firmly at the centre of our attention.]

August 19th 2012

[We come on the air for Summerslam with Tonight Is The Night blaring through the speakers. Pyro explodes all along the stage and the camera cuts to the crowd to show off all of their signs for tonight. The majority of the signs in the arena tonight are for CM Punk and The Rock but there are also a lot of other signs. The camera sweeps over the RAW commentary booth showing us Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler before showing us Matt Striker and Josh Mathews on the Smackdown commentary booth.

[Vickie Guerrero walks out onto the stage first before motioning for Dolph Ziggler to come out next. Dolph storms out with his Money In The Bank briefcase in his hand. He and Vickie both strut down the ramp to both cheers and boos from the crowd. Dolph hops onto the apron as Vickie walks around the side of the ring. Dolph steps in the ring and climbs to the second rope, raising his briefcase in the air. He hops down and hands over his briefcase before the referee raises both that and the Intercontinental Championship in the air.]

Daniel Bryan © versus Dolph Ziggler RAW Money In The Bank Holder ~ Winner Takes All [Intercontinental Championship & RAW Money In The Bank]

[Bryan and Ziggler charge at each other as soon as the bell rings. Bryan lunges at Ziggler but Ziggler leapfrogs over Bryan and lands on his feet. Ziggler turns and waits for Bryan to come back at him before meeting him with a big dropkick straight to the jaw of Bryan. Ziggler crawls over and hooks the leg of Bryan but only gets a one count. Ziggler gets back up and begins pulling Bryan up with him but Bryan surprises Ziggler with a right hand to the abdomen. Bryan hits Ziggler twice more until he releases his grip and doubles over. Bryan jumps up and hits Ziggler with a forearm shot to the jaw before kicking him in the midsection and hitting him with a suplex. Bryan gets back up and panders to the crowd, gaining cheers, before turning as Ziggler begins rising. Ziggler gets to his feet and Bryan meets him with a hard right footed kick to the side of Ziggler’s leg. Ziggler stumbles a little but responds with a right hand to the jaw of Bryan. Bryan stumbles back but comes right back with another right footed kick to the leg of Ziggler. Bryan doesn’t give Ziggler any opportunity to respond this time and instead kicks Ziggler once again in the side of the leg. This last kick causes Ziggler’s leg to give way and he falls to his knees. Bryan turns and shouts out to the crowd before turning back around and going to kick Ziggler hard in the side of the head. However, Ziggler sees it coming and ducks underneath before using Bryan’s own momentum to roll him up for the 1..2..NO! KICKOUT! Ziggler gets up just before Bryan and meets him with a boot to the midsection. Ziggler jumps up and goes to come back down with the Namedropper but Bryan moves out of the way and Ziggler hits the mat. Bryan steps out onto the apron and begins climbing the ropes as Ziggler slowly rises to his feet. Bryan reaches the top and stands upright just as Ziggler gets to his feet. Ziggler slowly turns around but as soon as he is facing Bryan, Bryan dives down and hits his signature dropkick perfectly on the jaw of Ziggler. Both men hit the mat and Bryan rolls over to Ziggler before hooking the leg for the 1..2..NO! KICKOUT! Bryan gets to his knees and looks up at the referee in frustration. Bryan gets to his feet and rolls Ziggler onto his front before grabbing his arm. Bryan goes to lock in the Yes Lock but Ziggler turns it around before Bryan locks it in and gets him in the small package for the 1..2..NO! ANOTHER KICKOUT! Ziggler and Bryan both get to their feet at the same time and Ziggler is first to throw a right hand but Bryan catches it before kicking Ziggler hard in the midsection. Bryan begins lifting Ziggler up for a suplex but Ziggler manages to shift his weight causing Bryan to drop him down before Ziggler rolls him up in another small package for yet another two count. Ziggler gets to his feet before Bryan and meets a rising Bryan with a kick to the head which sends him toppling back down. Ziggler goes to grab the downed Bryan but Bryan grabs the arm of Ziggler and pulls him down before locking in the Yes Lock. The crowd are on their feet, chanting “YES”, as Bryan locks the hold in nice and tight. Ziggler begins kicking out with his legs, trying to reach the bottom rope but it is just out of reach. Ziggler begins scratching at the mat, trying to crawl over to the ropes but Bryan remains strong enough to hold Ziggler where he is. Vickie Guerrero sees the match slipping away from Ziggler and gets up on the apron, screaming at the referee. The referee walks over to get Vickie off of the apron and, as he does so, Ziggler begins to tap out repeatedly. Bryan thinks he has the match won so he releases his hold and gets to his feet, repeatedly thrusting his arms upwards while shouting out “YES”. However, he soon realises what is going on and walks over to the ropes, shouting at Vickie to get down off of the apron. Ziggler slowly gets to his feet and notices that Bryan is distracted. Ziggler takes advantage of the situation and sneaks up behind Bryan before jumping up and bringing Bryan crashing down with the Zig Zag. Ziggler pulls Bryan away from the ropes as Vickie drops down off of the apron. Ziggler gets Bryan in the centre of the ring before hooking the leg for the 1..2..3!]

Justin Roberts: “Here is your winner and NEW Intercontinental Champion and still RAW Money In The Bank holder, Dolph Ziggler!”

[Ziggler jumps back to his feet as he is announced the winner and has his arm raised in victory by the referee. Vickie steps into the ring and hands Ziggler both the Intercontinental Championship and the RAW Money In The Bank briefcase. Ziggler jumps up to the second rope and raises both the Championship and the briefcase in the air with both hands. Ziggler jumps back down to the mat and continues celebrating as Bryan sits in the corner, holding his head.]

[There are a few cheers heard coming from the crowd as Drew McIntyre walks into shot, dressed for action.]

Eden Stiles: “Welcome Drew. Drew, as I alluded to just then you will be teaming up with Brodus Clay in just a matter of moments in a bid to win the WWE Tag Team Championships from Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks. Now up until just this past Monday Night on RAW, you were alligned with Curt and Tyler but turned your back on them following their assault on Brodus; instead deciding to side with your partner tonight. What was it that caused your change of heart and is that you officially no longer a client of Vickie Guerrero’s?”

Drew McIntyre: “Eden I did what was the right thing to do. I’ll be the first to admit that I was not at all pleased when paired with Brodus Clay at first but over time I’ve came to realise he is actually a good guy to have on your side. When Curt and Tyler attempted to blindside Brodus on RAW this past Monday I had to come out and help him which only fueled our bid to win the Final of the Tag Team #1 Contender Tournament two nights ago on Smackdown. Now if you don’t mind Eden, I have a Championship go to win.”

[Drew walks off down the crooridor, obviously ready for the match, leaving Eden grinning into the camera.]

Drew McIntyre & Brodus Clay versus Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks w/ Vickie Guerrero ~ WWE Tag Team Championships

[McIntyre and Hawkins start things off in this match and meet in the centre of the ring. McIntyre extends his hand for Hawkins to shake but Hawkins shakes his head before hitting McIntyre over the jaw with a stiff right hand. The anger which has been building up in Hawkins for weeks comes out here as he proceeds to drop down to his knees and hit McIntyre over the head repeatedly with right hands. Hawkins gets back to his feet and walks over to his corner, tagging in Reks. Reks gets in and gets McIntyre up to his feet straightaway. Reks knees McIntyre hard in the midsection before lifting him up in the air in a military press position. Reks walks around the ring with McIntyre in his hands, laughing as he does so, before walking over to the ropes and going to toss McIntyre out but McIntyre drops down behind Reks. McIntyre kicks Reks hard in the back of the knee before grabbing him by the head and throwing him down hard onto his knee. McIntyre pulls Reks away from the ropes before dropping down on top of him and making the cover for a mere one count. McIntyre gets back to his feet and stomps down hard on the face of Reks before walking over to his corner and tagging in Clay. McIntyre steps out onto the apron as Clay gets in the ring and stands behind Reks, beginning to gyrate as he stalks him. Reks gets up and turns right into a right hand from Clay. Reks stumbles back into the ropes but bounces off of them and coming back with a clothesline to Clay. Clay only stumbles back a little and Reks goes for a second clothesline but Clay sees it coming this time and ducks underneath before grabbing Reks and throwing him across the ring with the T-Bone Suplex. Clay gets back up as Reks sprawls about in the corner. Reks gets up into a standing position but is soon squashed hard against the turnbuckles by the massive frame of Clay.

Triple H: “Okay listen guys, tonight is the most important night of my career and I don’t want it ruined because of one of you. John, we have had our differences over the years but tonight we have to put all of that behind us because if we don’t then all control is going to go back to Vince McMahon and you know that this will only cause trouble for the both of us if that is to happen. As for you Jack, I am putting a lot of trust in you tonight. I don’t know if you are ready for this but you better be because if something happens to me and John and it comes down to you I need to know that you can handle the pressure.”

Jack Swagger “You can trust me Hunter, don’t worry.”

Triple H: “Good. What about you John, can I trust you?”

John Cena “Triple H, you shouldn’t even have to ask that. I hate Vince almost as much as you. Hell the reason you took over was because he was about to fire me so who is to say he won’t finish what he started before he lost his duties? I am fighting for the safety of my career tonight, you can trust me on that.”

Triple H: “Good. Well that is all I have to say so good luck tonight guys, we’re going to need it.”

Beth Phoenix versus Kharma © ~ Women’s Championship

[The two women walk up to each other in the centre of the ring and go face to face. Beth pushes right into Kharma and seems to be talking a lot of smack talk but Kharma just stares right back at her. Beth throws the first punch and catches Kharma across the jaw. Kharma stumbles back a little and Beth responds with another right and another right until Kharma is up against the ropes. Beth takes a few steps back and runs at Kharma for a clothesline but Kharma catches Beth by the throat and pushes her back into the centre of the ring. Kharma lifts Beth up for the Chokeslam but Beth lands behind Kharma before kicking her hard in the back of the leg. Kharma falls to one knee and Beth takes advantage by running off the ropes and coming back with a hard kick to the back of the head of Kharma. Beth tries to roll Kharma over onto her back but by the time she gets her on her back, Kharma hits Beth with a right hand which causes Beth to stumble away from her. Kharma gets back up and charges at Beth, taking her down by using her whole body as a battering ram. Beth hits the mat but smartly rolls to the outside before Kharma can capitalise. Beth walks over to the announce table and kicks it in frustration, still not finding a way to ground Kharma long enough for the three count. Beth suddenly has an idea and puts her hands up to the referee, telling him to stop his count. Beth grabs a mic from Justin Roberts before climbing up onto the apron.]

Beth Phoenix: “Kharma just wait a minute. How about we make this match a little bit more interesting, huh? How about we make this a Falls Count Anywhere Match.”

[The fans give a loud pop as Beth lays down the challenge to Kharma. Kharma thinks about this for a moment before nodding towards Beth. Beth drops the mic and the referee calls for the bell to reset this match. Beth goes to enter the ring but instead changes her mind and drops down to the ground before grabbing the Women’s Champion. Beth walks around the ring and backs up the ramp, egging on Kharma to follow her. It isn’t until Beth gets to the top of the ramp that Kharma leaves the ring and heads off after her. Beth turns and disappears backstage as Kharma is still walking up the ramp. Kharma disappears backstage after Beth and a camera soon finds Beth backstage as she runs down a hallways, Kharma not far in pursuit. Beth turns a corner and Kharma goes to run round after her but Beth comes running back round and surprises Kharma with a hard shot to the head with the Women’s Championship. Beth throws it down as the referee catches up with them and Beth makes the cover but Kharma is able to kick out. Beth doesn’t give in and gets back up, stomping away at the head of Kharma. Beth makes the cover again but yet again Kharma kicks out. Beth gets to her feet and waits for Kharma to begin doing the same before walking off down the corridor. The referee makes sure to pick up the Women’s Championship before running off after them. Kharma takes off after Beth and she is soon chasing down Beth once again. Beth barges through a door and Kharma runs in after her. Beth, however, finds no exit as they have just barged into the men’s locker room. Several superstars jump to their feet and back up to the wall as Kharma finally gets her hands on Beth. Kharma grabs Beth by the throat with both hands and picks her up into the air before throwing her hard against the wall. Beth sprawls down to the floor and looks to be in severe pain as a menacing Kharma stands over her. Kharma drags Beth to her feet and pulls her out of the locker room by her hair. Kharma throws Beth against the wall again and pulls her onto her back before making the cover for the 1..2..NO! KICKOUT! Kharma gets back to her feet and pulls Beth up before dragging her down the corridor. Kharma grabs Beth by the head with both hands and goes to throw her against the wall but Beth stops herself from hitting it and instead turns and kicks Kharma hard in the midsection. Beth then takes off running down the corridor but seems to be running slower than she was earlier. Beth runs through the first door she finds and is in luck as she enters the massive food court. Beth zig zags through the many tables but Kharma is hot on her heels. Beth stops at a table with a massive tray of food on it and picks it up. Beth waits until Kharma is right behind her before turning and going to through it at Kharma but Kharma moves out of the way and the tray hits the referee. As the referee wipes food off of his face, Kharma takes down Beth with a hard right hand. Beth slumps over the table and Kharma motions for the match to come to an end. Kharma pulls Beth down and hooks her arms before hoisting her up and crashing her through the table with Bad Kharma. Kharma pulls Beth out of the debris before hooking her leg for the 1..2..3!]

Justin Roberts: “Here is your winner and STILL WWE Women’s Champion, Kharma!”

[Kharma slowly rises back to her feet as she is announced the winner. The referee goes to raise her arm but Kharma scares him off and instead takes her Women’s Championship. Kharma raises it in the air as she stands over Beth’s body next to the debris from the table. Kharma turns and storms off out of the food court as other employees rush over to check on the Glamazon.]

The last time I took on Wade Barrett was at Money In The Bank and, as you know, I defeated him. Tonight will be no different. Tonight I am going to go out there and kick Barrett so hard he isn’t going to remember what happened. Then I am going to hold this Championship until I become the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion in history!”

Rey kips up to his feet and runs off the ropes as Cara begins getting up.

Rey gets back to his feet and lifts Cara up onto the top rope before climbing up to the second rope after him. Rey hits Cara with a right hand over the head before jumping up for the hurricanrana but Cara turns it around in mid air, doing another 180 which lands in a pinfall attempt for a close two count.

Rey gets to his feet and Cara dives down for a crossbody but Rey meets him in midair with a big dropkick to the chest. Cara hits the mat hard and Rey runs off the ropes before hitting Cara with a rolling senton. Rey quickly hooks the leg of Cara but Cara rolls it through into a crucifix after the one count and gets a two count of his own. Cara releases his hold and both men get to their feet at roughly the same time. Cara hits Rey with a swift kick to the side of the leg before jumping up and hitting him with a headscissor takedown. Cara jumps back to his feet and stands next to the ropes, waiting for Rey to get back up. Rey soon does so and Cara springboard off of the ropes and turns around, going for a DDT but Rey catches Cara and tosses him over his head. Rey stumbles away from Cara and shakes his head a little before turning as Cara begins getting to his feet. Cara gets up but has his back to Rey so Rey hits him with a dropkick to the back which sends him onto his knees, in prime position for the 619. Rey points up to the Heavens and runs off the ropes before going for the 619 but Cara moves out of the way and Rey spins back around and lands on the apron. Cara jumps up and catches Rey with a big kick to the head, causing him to fall down to the ground. Cara gets to his feet and watches as Rey slowly gets to his feet. Cara runs off the ropes and dives over the top rope, landing hard on Rey with the senton. Both men are sprawled out on the outside, both obviously hurt. Cara is first to his feet and he pulls Rey up as well before sliding him in the ring. Cara jumps up onto the apron and climbs to the top rope with Rey still down on the mat. Cara turns around and dives down for the moonsault but Rey moves out of the way so Cara lands on his feet. Cara stumbles back a little and Rey pulls himself to his feet before jumping on the shoulders of Cara and hitting him with a hurricanrana which sends him into position for the 619. Rey points to the Heavens once again and runs off the ropes, this time connecting with the 619. Cara flops back onto the mat and Rey looks around at the crowd, who are once again on their feet. Rey begins to climb up in the corner, finally reaching the top. However, before Rey is able to dive down Cara jumps up onto the second rope and hits Rey with a right hand to the face before climbing up to the top rope with him. The two trade blows before Cara ducks underneath an attempted right from Rey and snatches him. Cara flips both of them over and executes the Moonsault Side Slam perfectly. Cara quickly makes the cover and the referee drops down to count the 1..2..3!]

Lilian Garcia: “Ladies and Gentlemen here is your winner, Sin Cara!”

[There are massive cheers from the crowd as Cara gets back to his feet and has his arm raised in victory by the referee. Cara jumps up to the second rope and throws his arms in the air to more cheers from the crowd. Cara jumps down and runs across to the other corner before jumping to the second rope. Cara throws his arms in the air once again before jumping down and helping Rey to his feet. The two stare at each other before Rey extends his hand to Cara, which Cara obviously accepts. The two embrace before Rey raises Cara’s arm in the air in victory. The two continue to celebrate with each other as the scene fades.]

Shane runs at Cena and begins to hit him with rights and lefts to the abdomen but Cena easily over powers Shane and clotheslines him back down to the mat.

Cena gets to his feet and turns right into Orton who jumps up for the RKO. Cena catches it once again and throws Orton down to the mat before lunging over to his corner and getting the tag to Triple H. The crowd instantly begin to cheer as the COO steps into the ring and stares across at the rising Orton. Triple H doesn’t go after him and instead waits for him to get to his feet before telling him he wants Lesnar. Orton laughs and says that if he wants him he can get him. Orton turns and gets the tag to Lesnar, who steps into the ring as the crowd jump to their feet. Lesnar and Triple H stand at opposite sides of the ring, just staring at each other. The two charge at each other and meet in the centre of the ring where they proceed to exchange clubbing blow after clubbing blow to the jaw. Lesnar is the first to gain an advantage as he sends Triple H down to the mat with an extremely hard right hand. Triple H soon gets back up but Lesnar already has the advantage and he begins to unload on Triple H with knees to the midsection followed by massive knees to the head. Lesnar finally allows Triple H to fall to the mat before throwing his arms in the air to massive boos. Lesnar drags Triple H back to his feet and throws him off the ropes before catching him on the rebound with a massive spear. Lesnar gets back to his feet and Shane shouts at him to set him up in the corner. Lesnar begins to laugh as he drags Triple H over to the corner and gets him in a seated position. Lesnar then walks over to his corner and tags in Shane, who instantly climbs to the top rope. Vince jumps up onto the apron and distracts the referee as Lesnar leaves the ring and grabs a trash can from under the ring. Lesnar holds it to the face of Triple H. Stephanie has obviously seen enough and runs over to stop her father distracting the referee but this proves to be a distraction of its own. Shane quickly takes the advantage and dives down, nailing the Coast To Coast perfectly. Lesnar pulls the crushed trash can out of the ring and throws it down to the ground before getting back up on the apron in the corner. Stephanie slaps her father hard across the face which causes him to fall down to the ground. Stephanie then proceeds to step off of the apron and walks back to the other side of the ring as the crowd chant her name. Back in the ring, Shane pulls Triple H out of the corner and hooks the leg but Swagger smartly breaks up the count before the referee is able to count the three. Randy runs in the ring and meets the risen Swagger with a stiff clothesline which sends him down to the mat. Swagger quickly gets back up but he walks right into an RKO from out of nowhere. Orton gets back to his feet and has a massive grin on his face but he is spun around by Cena, who gets him up on his shoulders and nails him with the Attitude Adjustment which sends him over the top rope to the outside. Cena turns back around and sees Lesnar charging at him so smartly ducks underneath and pulls down the top rope, which causes Lesnar to topple to the outside. Cena gets back upright but is met by a massive dropkick from Shane, which sends Cena toppling to the outside. Shane gets back to his feet as a dazed Triple H begins getting to his feet. Triple H gets up and Shane goes to hit him with a right hand but Triple H catches it. Triple H begins to fume at Shane and he kicks him hard in the midsection before hooking his arms. Triple H looks around at the screaming fans and jumps up before hitting the Pedigree. Triple H rolls Shane over onto his back and makes the cover but Vince jumps up onto the apron and tries to get in the ring so the referee runs over to stop him. Triple H gets back to his feet and walks over, shouting at Vince to get down. Stephanie runs up the steps and gets in the ring, walking over to join her husband in getting Vince off the apron. Triple H gives up and walks away, leaving this to the referee. Triple H turns his back to what is going on and makes sure Shane isn’t getting up before turning to see if Vince is off the apron yet. However, when Triple H turns around he is met by a massive kick to the groin area from his wife, Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie gives Triple H a sly grin as he falls to the mat and she turns to leave the ring. Vince hops off of the apron as Stephanie leaves. Shane uses the ropes to drag himself to his feet as Triple H slowly rises but is obviously still in pain after the kick from Stephanie. Triple H gets up and Shane meets him with a quick left jab straightaway. Shane does this twice more before nailing Triple H with a massive right hook which sends him down to the mat, finishing off the Shane O’ Shuffle. Shane drops down on top of Triple H and hooks his leg for the 1..2..3!]

Justin Roberts: “Ladies and Gentlemen here are your winners, Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar and Shane McMahon! Therefore, Vince McMahon is still the Chairman of the WWE and Triple H has been FIRED as the Chief Operating Office of the WWE!”

[The fans appear to still be in complete shock after what transpired. Stephanie McMahon walks up the steps and enters the ring, joining her brother Shane who has gotten back to his feet. Randy and Brock soon slide back in and the four of them stand over the fallen body of Triple H before Vince walks in and joins them, a microphone in his hand. Vince instructs Brock and Randy to get Triple H up to his knees, which they instantly do. Vince leans over and gets right in the face of the extremely dazed Triple H.]

Vince McMahon: “Triple H, YOU’RE FIIIIIIRRRREED!”

[Vince throws the mic down and Brock and Randy release their grip on Triple H. The two men kick Triple H out of the ring where John and Jack quickly check on him. Vince stands in the middle of the ring and has his arms raised in the air by both Stephanie and Shane while Brock and Randy climb to the second ropes adjacent to each other and throw their arms in the air. The five of them continue to celebrate this massive victory as the scene fades.]
