And now, UWF proudly presents, NITRO!
"DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
PART OF THE SOLUTION,
OR THE ONE THAT FALLS?"
The band Atreyu is dressed in Nitro memorabilia as they perform, "Do You Know Who You Are", the theme song for UWF Nitro. As they rock out, the camera gets a shot of the stage and many of the fans in attendance.
The energy is raucous and infectious as things make their way to the announce table where, Tony Schiavone and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan get ready to open the show
Tony Schiavone: Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to Nitro! We've got some huge matches in store for tonight!
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Like we get to see that idiot champ get shown up by Prince Pretty himself, Tyler Breeze!
Tony Schiavone: Well I wouldn't count the champ out quite yet. His opponent for Wrestlemania also has a tough match as he goes one on one with Daniel Bryan.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: It's the match that's been years in the making! I don't know who to pull for.
Tony Schiavone: The tag titles might not be on the line but the Dudley Boyz almost lost last week so you know they'll be looking to re establish themselves as the team to beat.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: I hope they got iron jaws because there's going to be a superkick party!
Tony Schiavone: Plus we've gotten word about more information about Wrestlemania! More competitors in the Money in the Bank match? Maybe extra matches being announced? Stay tuned to this exciting edition of Nitro!
The Motor City Machine Guns threme hits and the crowd starts to cheer as the returning Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin make their way down to the ring.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is a tag team match and it is scheduled for one fall! Making their way to the ring, the team of Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, the Motor City Machineguns!
Nitro's newest duo slides into the ring and gets ready for their opponents.
THE FOLLOWING IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE C.U.N.T.
The first few bars of Ted Nugent's 'Stranglehold' begin to play and the crowd go wild. As the groove kicks in Shark Boy and Grado make their way out from the back. Shark Boy wastes little time in marching down to the ring, Grado plays to the crowd a little before he follows suit with a strut in his step once again.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, they are the Council of Underwater and Nomadic Talents, Shark Boy and Grado, The C.U.N.T.
Shark Boy marches down to ringside and then up the steps into the ring. Grado slaps hands with the crowd all around ringside before getting himself up on the apron. Shark Boy goes to one post and throws out the fin salute as Grado mounts the adjacent corner and throws his fanny-pack high into the air for the whole crowd to see.

DING DING DING
Alex Shelley decides to start things off with the returning Shark Boy. Shelley and Shark Boy look to start things off with a test of strength. They reach up high to lock hands but Shark Boy kicks Shelley in the gut and drops him down with a Chummer! Shelley goes flying backwards and Sabin tags himself in. He runs at Shark Boy for a clothesline but he ducks under it and runs into an elbow by Grado. This stund Sabin who turns around and gets back body dropped by Shark Boy.
Tony Schiavone: This could be over quick.
Shark Boy tags in Grado and tells him to finish the job. He waits for Sabin to get to his feet before spinning him around and dropping him with a Stunner himself! He then goes for the pin.

Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, Shark Boy and Grado, The C.U.N.T.
The two men celebrate their triumphant return as Nitro rolls on.
Fans are enjoying Nitro, and we see Renee Young
Renne Young: Ladies and gentlemen with me at this time requesting another interview from me. Rey Mysterio, and one of his new partners the Big Show.
Fans boo as Rey Mysterio speaks
Rey Mysterio: Why thank you Renee.
Renee Young: Rey I just want to ask first where is Mark Henry?
Rey Mysterio: Mark is actually outside right now protecting the door. Renee you know all the villains of the UWF are after me. I can't afford to get injured especially before Wrestlemania.
Renee Young: Oh that is smart. You were holding your ribs last week on Nitro have you healed from that yet?
Rey Mysterio: Renee I don't know what you're talking about. I wasn't holding my ribs. I was never injured.
Renee Young: I saw you holding your ribs last week when you were entering to the rin-
Rey Mysterio: Renee maybe you should get some glasses, because your eyes must have been making you see things. I wasn't hurt at all last week. Now you came here to interview us. So ask some questions that are relevant to the situation.
Renee Young: You asked me too come inter-
Rey Mysterio: Renee... I know you are going to ask the question of what is my announcement this week.
Renee Young: Wait what anounc-
Big Show nudges Renee, and gives her a death stare. The frightened Renee goes, and she asks the question.
Renee Young: So what is your big announcement tonight Rey?
Rey Mysterio: Tonight I will be at ringside for my man Big Shows match. I will be on commentary to talk about my sidekick Big Show, and how he is handling that terrible person in Edge. I know people are thinking how silly I am to go out there when Edge is out there waiting to get his hands on me... Well he won't. I will have Mark out there with me.
Renee Young: Ok.... Well Big Show how do you feel about this?
Big Show: The boss does what the boss wants.
Renee Young: Do you think you will be able to take down Edge easily tonight I mean he is a former world champion here in the UWF?
Big Show: Is that supposed to intimidate me? Seriously Renee am I supposed to be afraid of a man just because he held a belt. I have held a belt before it doesn't mean anything. There are many guys who have held belts here, and they haven't done anything with them. All that matters is that this giant fist right here will go smack dab in the cranium of Edge, and that is all that matters. Edge doesn't scare me. No one scares me on here. Renee I think along with getting your vision check you should get your ears check. Probably stop listening to your music so loud on your Ipod, because it doesn't matter who is my way. I will take them down. Why because my boss Rey over here wants me to. I will do what the boss wants me to do. Edge is just one of the many as Rey would like to call them "villains" that are going down, and that is a fact. So do you have anymore questions that are worth more time, or are you going to keep asking ones that tick me off?
Renee Young: We- Wel, Uh.... I see that you and Mark are together as a team. With Nitros tag team scene heating up are guys looking forward to getting some tag team gold?
Big Show looks at Renee, and just shakes his head
Big Show: You obviously need to get your ears checked. Mark, and I made it clear were not interested in titles. Winning those titles won't make our paychecks go any higher. We are already getting paid like big stars thanks to the boss over here. You think for one second I am thinking about championship gold? No you see Renee at my age, and where I stand all I care about is dollar signs. Renee I am a business man outside of this company. You would know this if you did your job as a journalist, and did some research. You would know that I own a few strip malls. I know when it is right to expand on a place, or when to sell it, or when too tear it down. Now what good of a business investment is spending way too much on something that is already a huge success huh? Why would I keep expanding a mall if it is already big? If it is still coming up positive in the income why waste more money into it, and having it where I could possibly go in debt?
Renee Young: Well uh...
Big Show: Don't think too much it will probably make your head explode. You see there is no point in me risking the investment I have here in the UWF with Rey Mysterio to go after some tag team gold with Mark. Mark, and I know we make more then all those tag team guys. So why go out of our way, and possibly risk an injury going after something that doesn't matter. Why expand on our brand when we don't have too. Unless Rey Mysterio says go for the tag team titles then we will go for those belts, but he isn't paying us to win titles. He is paying us to protect him, and that right there is all I care about. Renee I think it is time you should leave. I have a match coming up like now, and I still need to warm up.
Renee goes, and she gets up, and the cameras follow her. Renee is trying to get out quickly, and when she does she bumps into Mark Henry.
Renee Young: Oh Mark.. I am so sor-
Henry just growls as Renee gets out of dodge, and Henry looks at the young lady running away angry, as Nitro moves on
Fans in the Nitro arena are quiet when all of a sudden
WEEEEELLLLLLLL!
A huge pyro explodes in the arena, and the fans boo like crazy as the newest member of Nitro, and one of Rey Mysterio's personal bodyguards the Big Show comes out. Along side him is the other personal guard in Mark Henry, and following behind is Rey Mysterio. Big Show is heading to the ring as Mysterio and Henry come to the commentary booth.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME
Edge comes out as the fans are actually starting to go crazy for him. He walks out on the ramp for his signature pyro.
The camera closes in and there is actually a smile on Edge's face as he makes his way down the ramp. He slides in under the bottom rope and poses in the corner for the fans.
vs
The bell rings, and Edge wastes no time as he starts beating on the Big Show. Edge is throwing some hard shots, but the Big Show goes, and he pushes him off. Edge falls back, but quickly is back up. Edge tries more offense, but Big Show grabs 'The Rated R Superstar' and throws him into the turnbuckle.
Tony Schiavone: The strength of the Big Show is always stellar to watch
Bobby Heenan: Rey how does it feel to have a sidekick so strong on your team?
Rey Mysterio: It feels great because I know his super strength is what just my team needs to suceed.
Big Show grabs Edge, and he tells the loud Nitro crowd to quiet down, and wham a huge slap across the chest of Edge. Edge falls to the mat holding the chest, and Big Show laughs as he says "One more time." Big Show picks up Edge and he does once again another thunderous slap.
Tony Schiavone: That slap is so hard I think my chest is getting red.
Rey Mysterio: Edge is realizing what happens when you mess with the true hero of Nitro.
Bobby Heenan: Take note Nitro roster you mess with Rey, and there will be a price to pay.
Big Show laughs at this, and Edge is trying to squirm away from the giant man. Big Show though gets a hold of Edge, and he manages to drag him close to him. Big Show then walks over Edge with his size 42 E boot, and Edge begins to now hold his back in pain. Big Show is just taunting as the fans boo at this point.
Rey Mysterio: That's the way Big Show. So Edge why you don't mess with true justice.
Big Show picks up Edge and he throws him into the corner. Big Show goes and he taunts a bit before running right at Edge, and Edge manages to roll out of the way as Big Show hits the turnbuckle. Big Show is dazed and confused. Edge kicks the gut of the Big Show, and Edge tries going for a DDT. Edge tries, and tries, but can't seem to get the big man off his foot all of a sudden Edge is lifted up high in the air as Big Show backdrops Edge.
Tony Schiavone: Did you see how high Edge got in the air.
Bobby Heenan: For a second their Rey I thought Edge with you on how high Big Show threw him up their in the air.
Big Show is shaking off the cobwebs, and Edge rolls out of the ring, and he is outside of it. Edge is crawling to the announce table, and Big Show goes to the referee. Big Show is trying to tell the referee something, and as Edge is clearing the cobwebs using the announce table as support in comes Mark Henry nailing Edge.
Tony Schiavone: Oh come on that wasn't needed.
Rey Mysterio: Tony Edge was coming too close to the announce table. Mark was only doing his job in protecting me.
Bobby Heenan: Yeah Schiavone what is your problem why are you acting like what Mark did was a crime. Edge should know not to get this close to Rey Mysterio.
Henry grabs Edge, and he throws him back into the ring. Big Show goes, and he hooks the leg of Edge for the first cover of the match.

Edge kicks out. Big Show looks on as he smiles, and he picks up Edge, and throws him on his shoulders. Big Show is looking to send Edge head first into the turnbuckle, but Edge scoops off the shoulders, and manages to get behind the giant. Edge pushes Big Show right into the turnbuckle, and Big Show is stunned. Edge then goes and he chops down the giant.
Tony Schiavone: Uh-oh Big Show is on one knee this could be trouble.
Big Show down on one knee all of a sudden gets attacked by Edge with a combination of strikes, and elbows. Edge then kicks the gut, and he nails a swith DDT to the Big Show. Big Show lands on his backside, and Edge goes for the cover.

No kick out by Big Show. Edge is looking on frustrated and he just kicks the down Big Show softening him up even more. Big Show is just there on the ground, and Edge goes to the corner, and he gets in a crouching position. Edge is setting up the spear, and Big Shows gets up as Edge charges but he is met with a spear from Big Show himself from out of nowhere.
Rey Mysterio: Just like a true hero. It doesn't matter how much trouble you're in a true hero always manages to find away to succeed.
Bobby Heenan: Couldn't have said it any better myself Rey.
Edge looks down for the count, but Big Show is still loopy. The DDT seemed to have done serious damage to the head of the Big Show. Show is just trying to shake it off, and when he does he is mad. Big Show lets out a scream, and you can see spit flying through the air. Big Show is not looking for a pin. No he is looking for more punishment on Edge. Big Show grabs the throat of Edge, and he begins jawing at him. Big Show lifts Edge up high in the sky, but Edge manages to revere it, and hits the Edge o Matic on the giant man. The fans cheer for this, and Edge grabs the giant leg going for the cover.

No kick out by the Big Show. Edge looks disgruntled, and he notices the Big Show is stirring up. The rage of the Big Show won't be stopped. Edge goes, and he grabs the head of Big Show maybe looking for the edgeacator, but Big Show pushes him off hard, and Edge rebounds off the ropes. Big Show now catches the throat of Edge, and Edge is in trouble. Big Show gets up, and he just chokeslams Edge right on the mat, and he doesn't go for the cover.
Tony Schiavone: What is Big Show doing here. Cover him, and this match is over.
Rey Mysterio: Edge right now is going to experience the revenge justice brings. Don't mess with justice Tony.
Bobby Heenan: I love this Big Show doesn't care about winning, but only hurting Edge.
Big Show as that right hand cooked up, and he is looking to end it with a knockout blow. Edge is stirring up, and Big Show goes, and he charges at Edge who stirs up. Big Show goes for the collasal shot, but Edge ducks it. Big Show turns around, and bam kicked in the stomach getting hit with an Edgecator. Big Show is down, and stunned, but Edge knows this won't be enough Edge hits the corner, and he is crouching. Big Show gets up, and gets nailed with a spear. Big Show though is still winding up. Edge goes off the ropes and he hits one more spear taking the Big Show out. Edge hooks the leg.

Here is your Winner Edge
Tony Schiovane: Edge won! He manage to survive the Big Show.
Rey Mysterio: It is fine, because like I have said Tony a super hero is always two steps ahead.
Edge is celebrating the wing against Big Show, and all of a sudden Mark Henry comes in. Edge dicks under, and he rolls out of the ring. Mark Henry is telling Edge to get back here and Edge smiles and waves at him.
Tony Schiovane: Well Rey it looks like your plan failed.
Bobby Heenan: Quiet down Schiavone. Rey saw what happened you don't need to tell him.
Rey Mysterio: Bobby it is fine...Edge just got lucky. Villains though can only be lucky for so long.
Edge walks away laughing, as the final image shows Rey Mysterio angry, but not to pissed off as he is trying to save face for the camera as Nitro moves on
The fans cheer on as the show continues, all of a sudden the lights go out. On the titantron, a video begins to play. Multiple highlights of Bobby Roode's matches in his career are played. Several highlights show him standing with world and tag title belts! All of a sudden, Roode is shown standing in a room with a black background. Bobby stands there in his crimson colored coat with his 'IT FACTOR' trunks on. He looks up at the camera, and begins to speak.
Bobby Roode:
"Ladies and Gentleman, the IT FACTOR has finally arrived in UWF. Why did I come exactly to UWF? Simple, I came to save it! Tell me, when you look at everyone here, what do you see? No talent and no skills. But I have everything I just listed. There's a reason why they call me the IT FACTOR of Professional Wrestling. It isn't a nickname I decided to get, it's a nickname I EARNED. But, let me cut straight to the chase. Nitro, things are going to be changing around here .. BIG things. You won't be seeing anymore wrestlers that lack talent, you'll be seeing one man. One man who can do it all! One man who HAS done it all, Bobby Roode. And it sure as hell, pays to be ROODE! Get ready for the ROODEVOLUTION..
When he says this, the camera zooms out to the full body of Bobby Roode. Roode poses and the lights turn back on in the arena. The arena gives mixed reactions for Roode with the "Lets Go Bobby" And "Bobby Sucks!". The announcers briefly talk about the vignette and the upcoming debut of the 'Leader Of The Selfish Generation'
As the opening bassline for Panic Attack starts, the crowd grows silent. Owen Hart makes his way out from the back with a complete lack on any emotion on his face. He doesn't acknowledge the crowd as he heads down the ramp.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Calgary Alberta Canada, weighing in at 229 pounds, Owen Hart!
Owen heads up the steps and gets into the ring. He walks over to his corner and just squats down looking at the entrance ramp, waiting for his opponent.
"My Name is Finlay... And I Love To Fight!"
The fans give an excited reaction to see Finlay arrive on Nitro. Finlay looks like he has aged quite a bit as he isn't able to rush to the ring like he usually does, but still he carries the pride of the Finlays as he strides down the ring.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent, from Belfast Ireland, weighing in at 230 pounds, Sir David Finlay III!
Finlay slides into the ring and Owen stands up right away. The two men stare each other down as the ref calls for the bell.

DING DING DING
Owen rushes at Finlay, getting ready to make an example out of him for Rhino but the Irishman is no slouch. Both men trade blows back and forth, neither seeming to get an advantage. It isn't until Owen kicks the leg out from Finlay that he finally wins the battle. Finlay falls to the mat but Owen grabs the leg and kicks it some more. He then drops an elbow to the inside of his leg and stays on it, applying pressure with his elbow.
Bobby Heenan: We're not even 2 minutes in and Owen Hart is already showing the ruthlessness it's going to take to get ahead in this business.
Finlay isn't one to just sit back as he grabs at Owen's face and fishooks him with his whole hand. He's able to bring Owen closer to him before he clubs him in the face with his big rugged arms. Owen backs off as Finlay gets back to his feet. Owen tries to go low and tackle Finlay's leg but the Irishman jumps into the air and comes crashing down onto the back of Owen! Owen screams out in pain. but Finlay stays sitting on him and just grabs onto his legs and pulls back in a seated boston crab!
Owen is trying to scratch and claw his way to the ropes and it takes awhile but he's finally able to make it. Finlay gets off but just drags Owen back to the center of the ring. Hart is able to kick him off and quickly get back to his feet. Finlay runs at him with a lariat but Owen ducks under and smoothly gets Finlay from behind and throws him back with a nice german suplex. Finlay rolls back into a seated position in the corner. Owen decides to stay on the attack as he runs up and hits him with a dropkick right to the face. He drags Finlay away from the ropes and pins him.

And Finlay kicks out! Owen has a scowl on his face as he brings Finlay back to his feet. He grabs him in a northern lights suplex position but Finlay fights back with clubbing fists to the back of Owen. He then picks up his face and hits him with a big european uppercut that sends Hart reeling into the corner. Finlay then hits a running shoulder thrust in the corner and makes Owen crumble into a seated position. Finlay grabs his legs and then pops him up and brings him back down with a sitout powerbomb from the corner. The ref drops down for the cover.

But Owen kicks out at 2!
Tony Schiavone: Both of these veterans are looking to stake a claim for a spot at Wrestlemania, maybe even compete in the Money in the Bank!
Bobby Heenan: Can you imagine a psychopath like Owen Hart going into that match? It would be awesome!
Finlay gets back to his feet and bring Owen up as well. He hoist him onto his shoulders and gets ready to hit the Rolling Hills but Hart wiggles out of it. Finlay turns around only to get thrown overhead with a belly to back suplex! Owen then quickly climbs to the top rope and comes off with a diving headbutt. Finlay eats all of it but he has enough wherewithal to roll out of the ring like the savvy veteran he is.
Owen decides to follow him out and bring him back to his feet. He picks him up and rams him back first into the steel ring post. Finlay writhes on the ground in pain but Owen just gives off a sadistic smile. He throw Finlay back into the ring the follows up by grabbing his legs and locking in a Sharpshooter! Finlay scrambles for the ropes but just cinches back further until...
The crowd pops loudly and Owen lets go of the hold immediately. He waits for Rhino to come running down the ramp any second as he yells at him to bring it. A couple of seconds go by however and nothing happens. Well nothing except for Finlay pushing Owen forward into the ropes and then rolling him up as the referee makes the count.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Sir David Finlay III!
Owen loses it, not quite sure what just happened. Finlay however just points to his head and smiles.
Bobby Heenan: What a coward! That twice now Rhino has tried to get one over on Owen!
Tony Schiavone: I don't think that was Rhino's doing Brain, I think Finlay was behind it!
Once Owen realizes what happened, he goes on the attack and beats down Finlay. He again grabs the legs of his and locks in another Sharpshooter, this time wrenching back further than ever before. Multiple referees come out from the back and try to break up the hold but Owen won't stop until he's satisfied. After it looks like Finlay has passed out from the pain, Owen finally lets go and exits the ring. He walks straight to the back, not even bothering to look back at the damage he's caused as the cameras head elsewhere.
Our cameras are directed toward the backstage area, where there is a rather loud disturbance taking place. As the camera crew runs down the hall, they come to a slightly ajar door, where an infuriated Matt Morgan appears to be throwing a fit.
NO! NO NO NO! This cannot be happening! This is not the way it was supposed to go! I was supposed to come here and light this place up! ARRGHH!
Morgan throws a chair at the wall, and flips over a nearby couch.
Before I signed with this company I met with Ethan Carter III, and I also looked up and down this roster. What did I see? A whole lot of nothin happening pieces of shit! I mean I am a god compared to some of these guys. But what do I have to show for it? A couple of losses and a few weeks left off the card. Am I just supposed to sit back and say meh maybe next week, maybe I should be the bigger man and let the other guys have their time. Well your just plain batshit crazy.
Morgan kicks the coffee maker clear off the table, sending it into a million pieces against the wall.
No....Matt...you are much better than this. You are much bigger, much stronger...and after tonight everyone will find out just how sick and sadistic I am. I'm done playing the crappy games on this show. All this anger inside of me....it feels....good. Yes...maybe I have been going about this all wrong. Maybe...just maybe instead of focusing on wins and losses...maybe I should just take it upon myself to physically cripple people anytime I wish. Dare I say that might be just a little bit dangerous and reckless? Or is that what I need to do to get to where I want to be. I guess we shall have to find out...
The camera then pans backstage as we see CM Punk backstage with Seth Rollins
CM Punk:
Oh Joey, is that a cute little picture you wanted me to see? To solve some sort of puzzle? You see joey, puzzles are irrelevant. You could bring out anybody and scare me with the thought that you'll find someone in time for mania. Thing is, it won't bother me because I'll beat you fair and square. So keep up with your hints because it's probably just a dildo you'll be exposing out of your pants because clearly you don't have the balls at all Joey.
You're only standing there because I allowed you to, I could have beaten you to a bloody pulp but there's a time and stage for all of that.
Seth then interferes.
Who do you think you are Joey? Claiming that I blow up opportunities? Quite frankly, what opportunities? I cannot even remember the last time I got an opportunity, which is why I'm working with CM Punk here because I know I'll get my career back on track. Mind you, I don't need to be reminded of the carcass that is the year 2015. We're now in March and I've barely been given an opportunity; but it's just around the corner. I know it and you know it Joey. It's quite funny how you compare me to someone like Cody Rhodes, a man who's been at the top of this company. I'm not sure if I should be flattered by that comment or offended, I'll take it as a compliment that you see me as the face of UWF. Over to you CM Punk.
CM Punk speaks once again.
You're far from indestructible, you're far from Bulletproof Joey. Sing a song for me, do something that will make me fear you. It's you that should be fearing Seth and I, why? All those opponents you've faced, those matches where you fell short... did they truly elevate you? They certainly didn't because here you are lost in the shuffle Joey. Don't lie when you know I am right about this. Management might not have heard you, but Seth here knows someone and we've tapped your phone Joey. We know you're not happy in a place like this, you believe that you can truly be elevated but it cannot happen unless we do it for you.
I'm not asking you to join me, fuck no. I'm telling you that without facing us, you'll go nowhere. I want you to be able to deliver your "A" game because I've seen you face everybody else and I know you can do much, much better than what you've shown the world.
For once, you act all serious rather than trying to be a "Sleaze"; already it's a move into the right direction. There was one thing though, that bit about war?
*Suddenly Joey Ryan comes into the frame and cuts CM Punk off*
CM Punk, Sun TZu once said, "Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find his vulnerable spots. " Last week, I did exactly that during your match with Rhino. I smell your weakness, it's stench is like a odor far more compelling then the dame who came through Joey Ryan's hotel room last night. Don't fret though boys, cause the puzzle always has a solution, & I see you're both struggling to figure it out. So allow Joey Ryan to toss you a lifeline.
He smirks, as he continues
I just left EC3's office moments ago, & he's given me a match I've wanted since the moment you stuck your nose in MY business. It's a match that allows me to put hands on the both of you, at the same time even if I please. That match is Seth Rollins & CM Punk versus Joey Ryan & a partner of his choosing. You see, the solution to the puzzle will come in weeks time, for that match was granted to me for Wrestlemania! The crowd pops for this announcement As for who will join me at Wrestlemania? That you'll have to wait till the night of the big dance to find out , on the grandest stage of them all. Trust me though when I tell you this boys; like some hot & fierce sweaty action after prom night, that wait is wellllllllllllll worth it.
You see boys, I told you last week. I'm not just indestructible. Hell, but I'm also BulletProof. It's not just a saying, it's not just a phrase or some way to describe ones self, no it's a way of life. It's a group of people who stand up & prove themselves to be the best every time they step foot in that ring. It's a group of people who force themselves to be recognized. We don't kiss anyone's ass to position ourselves on the top of this company, we just are every single night we show up.
He begins walking away from the frame.
So consider this your warning shot. We're coming, & we're gunning right for you.
Joey Ryan holds his hand up in the shape of a gun, & points it towards CM Punk & Seth Rollins. He smirks as he mimics it going off, before he walks off backstage. Leaving Seth Rollins & CM Punk looking concerned.
...Some figure comes out of nowhere to speak while the beat is playing...
Dead Prez Rowan: Bah Bah... I'm a sheep who gonna get slaughterd by Blackman tonight. My last finial words are going to be...
...Blackman takes off the mask and steps on it to millions pieces, then he focuses on the camera...
Dead Prez Blackman: Fuck Rowan's mask, fuck Braun's baby face, fuck Luke Harper's intentions of fighting. Everybody including your Sister Abigail will be celebrating The Dead Prez's victory over me defeating that Waylon rip off man. Tonight will be the night I still shall remain supreme in this company to be in line for an opportunity to prove how much I can Kause Much Damage to anyone who gets in my way, Wyatt family... you have been warned not to fuck over me against your slave master Bray, or else I will stick my foot in all y'alls asses until blood start coming out your fucking skull...
...Bloody Static remerges as the scene shifts into the next segment...
Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Annville, Pennsylvania and weighing 242 pounds... Steve BLACKMAN!
As soon as we hear the sirens, Blackman emerges from the back in his Dead Prez facepaint, the fans offering him a mixed reaction as they're not sure how to deal with this new persona, least of all as it's about to go toe-to-toe with Bray Wyatt. Blackman's eyes are intense as he rolls into the ring and heads to a corner to perform some pre-match stretches, awaiting his opponent.
Tony Chimel: And introducing the opponent, from Brookville, Florida and weighing 285 pounds... representing the Wyatt Family... Bray WYATT!
The lights in the arena are killed as the eerie-sounding theme of the Wyatt family begins to play over the arena soundsystem. Suddenly, a lantern appears from the back, and in its glow the face of Bray Wyatt is visible. Wyatt is flanked by a pair of shadowy figures as he walks slowly down the ramp to the ring, the shadows moving to ringside as Bray walks several steps up the ring steps before blowing out the lantern -- just as the lights come up. Bray removes his hat, places the lantern on the apron, then enters between the ropes.
-VS-
DING DING DING!
As the bell rings, Wyatt is standing with his arms open on the side of the ring nearest the ramp, laughing at Blackman and goading him on to attack. The Lethal Weapon is pacing back and forth, but doesn't look particularly afraid of Wyatt or his two lackeys on the outside... he's just eager to fight. Finally, Blackman caves and rushes Wyatt, quick to drill the bigger man with a kitchen sink knee. Wyatt, however, doesn't tumble and so Blackman is right on him from behind now, driving forearms and elbows into Wyatt's lower back before tossing him unceremoniously into the corner. Wyatt impacts the turnbuckle back-first with a thud, and for a moment it looks like his cronies are going to climb onto the apron, but then Bray starts to laugh at Blackman all over again while the Lethal Weapon turns toward Harper and Rowan and shouts at them to come and get some.
Bobby Heenan: Blackman looks game for a battle here tonight, Schiavone.
Tony Schiavone: I don't think it's a matter of if, but when... and with both of those very big men looming on the outside I don't like Steve's chances.
Blackman turns back toward Wyatt, still leaning in the corner, and looks furious as he charges the big man. Bray however hits him with a back elbow that staggers him, then rushes him and nearly turns him inside out with a massive lariat, clearly rocking the Lethal Weapon who is left rolling on the apron and shaking his head, trying to shake out the cobwebs. Bray doesn't give him the chance, instead dropping down on him with a forearm before mounting him to pummel his face with closed fists until Blackman gets his arms up. This leads Wyatt to push back up to his vertical base, then bend down to haul Blackman up to one, before Irish whipping him into the Wyatt corner and then charging to execute a brutal body splash. As Wyatt steps out from the impact, he holds Blackman vertical and then bends to scoop him up before carrying him out of the corner and dropping him unceremoniously with a sidewalk slam.
Tony Schiavone: Forget about those big guys, if Steve Blackman can't turn things around here right now -- Wyatt's not gonna need them!
Bray hooks the leg, but doesn't even get a one count from the Dead Prez. Shaking his head and laughing again, Bray pushes to a seated position and then back to his feet before stooping to grab Blackman, only to take a thumb to the eye! Wyatt stumbles and Blackman sweeps a leg out and around, tripping him up and sending him crashing ass-first to the canvas. Blackman is then up on his feet quickly and he charges, executing a nasty bicycle kick right to Wyatt's face that shuts the laughing up as Bray falls flat on his back on the canvas and Blackman follows through with a run for the ropes behind him, then comes back to execute a running elbow drop on Bray's chest. Wyatt eats that blow as well, crying out in pain, as Blackman hooks the leg.
1...
...NO!
Bray kicks out and Blackman pounds the canvas with a fist before rising to his feet, bringing Wyatt with him. Blackman then shoves Wyatt back into a corner and kicks him hard, several times, in the midsection. Wyatt eats all of those blows and then a knee to the jaw as Blackman steps up on the second rope, the knee rocking him as he stumbles out of the corner and Blackman climbing to the top rope before coming off of it to execute a picture-perfect bulldog! Blackman rolls back to his feet but as he does, Harper grabs the top rope and climbs up onto the apron.
Bobby Heenan: Here comes the big boys!
Blackman spots the advance and charges, intending to clothesline Harper off, but Luke simply hops off the apron and avoids the assault as the fans boo the Wyatts for using their numbers to their advantage. While Blackman's back is turned, Bray has the time to recover his vertical base, and as Steve turns around Wyatt is on him with a flurry of blows to the abdomen and the face, alternating back and forth, before Irish whipping him to the ropes on the other side. As Blackman rebounds, he does so into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Blackman falls off of Bray's knee and Wyatt pins him immediately.
1...
2...
...NO!
Tony Schiavone: Blackman is showing all kinds of heart here tonight. He's just plain refusing to be beaten.
Bobby Heenan: It's obvious enough that he wanted this fight, Schiavone. Now he's got it.
Wyatt smashes Blackman's face with a few forearms before going for another cover, but this time he doesn't even get one. This leads Wyatt to brush his hair back before pushing up from one knee to a vertical position and then bending to grab Blackman by the hair and pull him up as well. When he does, Bray pulls Blackman in for a belly-to-belly but as he does so, Blackman gets a knee up and actually ends up low-blowing Wyatt! Bray stumbles away, clutching at his groin and crying out from the blow, as the official has some stern words with Blackman. As Bray hobbles toward his corner and the ref clears the way, however, Blackman charges and dropkicks him right in the back, sending him crashing face-first into the top turnbuckle! Blackman recovers quickly and begins smashing Bray's face off of the padded buckle several times before leading him out of the corner and performing a Russian leg sweep. Blackman then goes for the cover again.
1...
2...
...NO!
This time, the cover is broken up by Harper, who reaches in and grabs Blackman's ankle to drag him out of the ring. The official is shouting at Harper but that's the least of his worries as he is leveled by a running bicycle kick! This leads Rowan to come around the corner and attempt to level Blackman with a clothesline, but the Lethal Weapon ducks under it and then, as Rowan turns around, he is doubled over by a spinning kick to the gut and then dropped with a scissors kick. The Dead Prez rolls back into the ring just as the official hits seven on his count, but as he does, Wyatt hounds him, clubbing his upper back and the back of his head until he can shove Bray away. Wyatt laughs again, but this time Blackman charges and is successful in executing a Lou Thesz Press that he transitions easily into an armbar! Wyatt cries out as he finds himself in an unexpected submission hold, the official checking diligently to see if he will tap.
Bobby Heenan: I'll admit it, Dead Prez Blackman... he really has some moves.
Tony Schiavone: But he has to be running out of gas... right?
Wyatt thrashes about wildly, desperately trying not to tap out, as Blackman begins to apply insane pressure on the hold. That's when Rowan and Harper roll into the ring and the official, having to maintain control, gets to his feet to demand they exit. With his back turned, Wyatt slaps the canvas five times, but Blackman realizes he's not getting what he needs and ends the hold before rising to his feet and glaring icy daggers at the Wyatt family. Blackman then drops to his back and rolls out of the ring before reaching under the apron and grabbing a pair of kendo sticks!
Tony Schiavone: Oh my! Don't do it Steve!
Blackman rolls into the ring and the official sees him coming with the weapons, immediately bailing. Neither Harper nor Rowan is prepared for the onslaught as Blackman takes them both out with the flailing sticks, drilling them both in the guts to double them over, and then on the backs of their heads to lay them low. Blackman then turns on Wyatt who by now is scrambling backward toward the corner, and he begins to move in despite the official's warnings that he will be disqualified. Bray uses the corner to haul himself up and charges Blackman, but Blackman ducks under and spins around, bringing both sticks crashing with a loud "THWACK!" onto Bray's spine! Wyatt stumbles into the opposite corner gripping his spine as the ref calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Your winner by disqualification...
BRAY WYATT!
Bobby Heenan: Ridiculous! Let the men play!
Tony Schiavone: This isn't a hardcore match-up, Brain!
Blackman is beyond pissed at the result and chases the official out of the ring with the kendo sticks, but this allows Harper and Rowan to get back to their feet and as he turns around he is drilled by a double clothesline. Rowan and Harper then haul him to his feet and hold him still for Wyatt, who moves in and laughs right in Blackman's face before grabbing him by the head and preparing for the Sister Abigail! Just as things begin to look bleak...
Tony Schiavone: What? What's he doing coming out here?
Bobby Heenan: Evening the odds and getting some revenge for last week, obviously!
Wyatt's attention turns toward the Titantron and stage as the Blueprint Matt Morgan comes charging down from the back. As his focus shifts, Blackman seizes the advantage and stomps on his foot, then breaks free and starts to throw punches and kicks wildly! Blackman outright sacks Rowan and the big man is the first to roll out of the ring before Steve turns on Wyatt and begins thrashing him with a series of powerful lefts and rights. Morgan enters the ring and begins trading blows with Harper before gaining the upper hand, driving him back to the ropes and then clotheslining him out over the top! Rowan regroups with Harper on the outside as Blackman Irish whips Wyatt toward Morgan and he eats a Carbon Footprint! The fans pop at this as Wyatt, rocked from the blow, rolls out of the ring and Morgan and Blackman stand tall in the middle of it, motioning for the Wyatts to make a move.
Bobby Heenan: I'll tell you what, though, Schiavone -- that kick right there will leave your jaw hurting for a solid month!
Tony Schiavone: He might even need some dental work!
Harper and Rowan grab their leader and the trio bail for the back, leaving Morgan and Blackman to watch as the feed heads elsewhere.
Nitro moves on with a prerecorded interview with Byron Saxton and Roman Reigns
Byron Saxton: My guest at this time, the International Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns.
Roman Reigns: What's up man...
Byron Saxton: First off, thank you for your time here. I know you have a busy schedule going on and you have your match tonight against Tyler Breeze, but I appreciate you taking some time out. I only have a few questions, so I won't keep you long.
Last year at this time, you weren't in any title pictures. You came off a loss at the Royal Rumble to Rey Mysterio and it seemed things were heading south for you. But then you head to Raw the night after WrestleMania and eventually went on to become the European Champion. Shortly after you move back to Thunder now Nitro and win the International Championship. Now almost one year later, you are headlining WrestleMania. Talk to me about this ride you have been on.
Roman Reigns: Yeah you said it best, "ride". It has been an amazing ride that I didn't even see happening. If you would have told me this time last year, that I would win a second tier title and then go on and win a World Title and main event WrestleMania, I would have called you a liar. But I busted ass off to get where I'm at. The fans, they don't see how much training we do off of t.v. cameras. You know how it is, even after the show is over, we are right back at the gym working our asses off to get better. Some have said, I got lucky, but those are the same people who want what I have, but don't give it there all to get it.
Byron Saxton: Talk to me about Shawn Michaels and the influence he has had on you.
Roman Reigns: Byron, there isn't much to saw about Shawn that hasn't been said before. I do owe Shawn a lot. You know, I find it funny that so many will come out and say that I am where I am at is all because of Shawn. Shawn helped guide me, but Shawn wasn't the one in the ring winning the matches. I did. I played my role to get where I am. I did my job taking care of all my opponents. Sure, Shawn, he has done so much in UWF. He's the greatest of all time in my opinion. Look what he did with the World Title and how long he held it. Of course with someone of his magnitude, his voice can help guide anyone. And he chose to help guide me and take me under his wing. And I will always appreciate him for that as I continue to make him and my family proud.
Byron Saxton: Last week on Nitro, your opponent at WrestleMania, Kevin Owens, had some strong words for you, he and I quote calls it an "easy" win for him. What's going through your mind as you listen to not only that, but you also prepare for the biggest match of your career.
Roman Reigns: To be able to headline WrestleMania in one of the main events is special on it's own. It's something not many here in UWF can claim and it's not something many in my family have accomplished. But I'm here and I'm ready to bring the big fight and as my friend Shawn would say, "steal the show".
But yeah, I heard what Owens had to say and it doesn't bother me. He has a right to his own opinion as does anyone else in the locker room and all the UWF fans. But this isn't a game anymore. You see Byron, Owens doesn't realize the fight he is in. Although he and I have never met one on one in UWF, I know who he is. He's the indy guy who thinks he's owed everything to him for what he did on Smackdown. Yeah he had a great run, but that was then. Now, he's on my show and I'm the one leading the charge. I'm the one who's held this title since the very first episode of UWF Nitro. He has what I want and he will say anything to try and claim this title.
But it won't be easy for him. Nah, he's going to have to risk it all. He's going to have to be willing to sacrifice everything in order to defeat me at WrestleMania for this title. Everything he has done in his career has been successful and I respect all he has accomplished. But this is going to be his biggest test. I know that I am not at the level of some of the legends he has beaten here in UWF. From the Stone Colds to the Dean Ambrose's. I may not be at the level now, but I am on my way. And for him to call this a easy win, is a slap in the face.
Even if he throws everything at me and is willing to sacrifice it all, it still will not be enough to keep me down. This right here at WrestleMania, this is my legacy. At WrestleMania, I will further cement myself here in UWF. I am the one who is going to sacrifice it all at WrestleMania. Blood, sweat, whatever it takes, I am going to do it in order to walk out of WrestleMania defeating Kevin Owens and retaining the UWF International Heavyweight Championship.
And when it is all said and done, Byron, I am going to shove it down his throat that he lost. That he blew it. I sat for years in the shadows of CM Punk, Seth Rollins and Eddie Guerrero. It is my time now and I am going in to WrestleMania as champion and I am going to be walking out champion. It's going to be about who has more will and willing to leave it all out there. I have been looking forward to this meeting for some time now. I will be the one who shuts his fat mouth up and makes his realize that he is just not as good as he thinks he is. And after it is all over with, he will respect me. Believe that!
Reigns and Byron continue to talk among each other off of their mics as the interview ends and Nitro moves on
As Nitro rolls on, we're brought to the view of Rhino standing in front of a camera. Even though he's not in action tonight, he's wearing his signature singlet anyway, with the rest of his ring gear to contribute. Thus, hinting he's ready for war at any time. On a final aesthetical note, over Rhinos shoulder is the Hardcore Championship, whilst he uses his left hand to tuck the belt under his armpit. Rhino then begins to speak
Rhino: Last week Rhino snarls, Last week was a valiant defeat, no doubt about it. In a split second, I wasn't able to recover, and I came out on the losing side. But, this War Machine was made for the War of Attrition, as all wars are. CM Punk won a -very-, small skirmish in the war I would wage with Punk. If I had the time, I would make Punks victory seem pyrrhic, as over time he would slowly submit to the raw, mundane power of The War Machines Vicious Cycle. Out of pure mercy, I implore Phillip Brooks to take the victory and run, because he will forcefully wither, once I'm able to extract my revenge!
Rhino expunges a crude smile, as he casts a glance to his left to observe oncoming traffic. He fixes his stare back to the camera, before following up with his promo...
Rhino: Its what I do, folks. I force my opponents hand to raise the white flag above their base to give up. Theres no breaks on The War Machine, and there wont be for my opponents neither. Theres nothing that can stand in my way, not a mentally-crippled Hart brother, a monkey in a ballistic vest, or Captain Caveman in trunks can do about it. Some may see my inevitable extraction of my revenge against Punk as a force of will, which it would be, if it wasnt just a fundamental law of nature. The fly will return, the vengeance will be annexed, and the Vicious Cycle will continue onward!
Rhino then glances down towards his shoulder, and places his weighty index finger on the Hardcore Championship belt over his shoulder. He follows up with this gesture with another slice of his promo
Rhino: Some seem to forget what this championship over my shoulder is all about, too. Boys and girls, this is The Hardcore Championship. You see, The International and The Intercontinental titles can brag about how they are world-class titles, or the proud workhorse titles, respectively. But, this belt represents far more than being a belt third-rate to those previously described. This slice of the cake is for the blue-collar scavengers, the victims of the system, THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO TAKE IT FURTHER THAN ANYONE ELSE! That's why I'm your champion, I take it further than anyone else - I go the distance! Neither Roman, Bryan, or Owen-
Rhino's speech is interrupted as a loud CRASH! is heard and Rhino drops to his hands and knees, revealing Owen Hart standing behind him with a chair in his hands. Owen sees his foe is downed and raises the chair above in a position to drive the top edge into Rhino's spine, doing so and forcing Rhino flat onto his stomach, wincing in pain. Owen raises the chair to do this again, but Rhino quickly rolls over and shoots his feet onto the chair, looking to drive the chair into Owen's throat, like what Owen did to Batista. Owen however lets go of the chair, causing the force of Rhino's legs to send the chair flying into the air. The chair hits a light overhead, breaking it. Owen allows himself to be distracted by the light breaking and as he turns around, Rhino is back up and charging at him. Owen sidesteps the Man Beast and pushes him into a menagerie of backstage equipment.
Owen takes this opportunity to walk over and pick up the chair again, taking his time while doing so. By the time he turns back around, Rhino is right on top of him, swinging a microphone at Owen like it's a mace. The microphone catches Owen flush in the side of the head, causing him to drop the chair and crumple. Owen is on one knee, holding the side of his head, but Rhino is right on top of him, wrapping the cord of the microphone around Owen's neck, attempting to choke the life out of his attacker. Owen's face is turning purple as one hand is pulling at the wire and the other is sliding all over the ground. Eventually Owen starts to fade a little and as Rhino relaxes, Owen throws his other hand towards Rhino's face, throwing broken glass into his eyes. Rhino releases the choke and stumbles backwards as Owen is crawling on the ground, gasping for air as he looks for something. Rhino recovers and stalks towards Owen, but before he can reach him, Owen shoots up and turns around, with the Hardcore title in hand and rushes Rhino, blindsiding him with the title belt. This stuns Rhino, but doesn't knock him over. Owen has a look of pure anger and rushes Rhino again, but Rhino responds with a Gore!
Rhino is up first and looks down at his handiwork, putting a hand to his head and bringing it back down to see blood. One of the broken edges of the title cut Rhino open. See this, Rhino decides that one Gore isn't enough and picks Owen back up. He grabs Owen's arm and irish whips him into the wall. Owen hits the wall and groggily turns back around into another Gore! Owen's head is now busted open as well as he hit a pipe on the wall off the irish whip. Rhino still hasn't had his fill and picks up Owen one final time. He grabs Owen's arm for another irish whip, but this time in one final burst of energy Owen pulls Rhino close and lifts him up and over with a belly to belly suplex. Rhino hits the ground with a devastating THUD and Owen looks gassed as he's on his back recovering. Rhino is still on the ground in pain as Owen turns over onto his stomach, face covered in blood as he stares down Rhino, his face contorting with rage as he crawls over to his downed foe. Owen pulls himself to his feet and grabs the legs of Rhino, stepping through and putting Rhino in a Sharpshooter! Owen and Rhino are both yelling at the top of their lungs, Rhino crawling towards a weapon to try and release the hold and Owen just venting his frustrations when suddenly a crowd of security guards come charging at the two. At first they plead for Owen to release the hold, who refuses. It isn't until EC3 turns the corner with more security guards calling for the guards to take action do they tackle Owen off of Rhino. Nearly a dozen men wrestle Owen to the ground and off Rhino, but Owen, despite the mass of men attempting to subdue him, gets back to his feet. Owen is still trying to charge at Rhino as he's being held back. Rhino makes it to his feet and sees that Owen is restrained and tries to rush into him and security, but another group restrains Rhino. Despite the groups of security holding the two back, they manage to move themselves nose to nose, both dripping blood. Rhino gnashing his teeth at Owen asking Is that all you got?! Owen's face goes from anger to sinister as he begins to laugh in the face of Rhino which only causes Rhino to push with more force, bringing his forehead right onto Owen's. EC3 tells security to get the two of them out of the arena as Owen stops pushing and allows himself to be taken away. The camera holds on Rhino's bloody face as Nitro rolls on.
Nitro takes a break and all of a sudden this message appears
The following program has been brought to you by your Hero Rey Mysterio
Fans boo as we go to a hotel room, and we see something on a bed, the image is fogged up, and the lens is kind of blurry
Rey Mysterio: Mark focus the camera.
Mark Henry: Oh my bad...
The camera focuses and we see it is the Money in the Bank briefcase
The fans boo as Rey Mysterio now goes and he sits next to the Money in the Bank briefcase
Rey Mysterio: Citizens of the UWF.... I just want to show you guys something. I want to show you people an early sight of what is going to happen at Wrestlemania. Me in possesion of the Money in the Bank briefcase. Now some of you maybe wondering something. How do I have this briefcase? Where did I get one? Well this isn't just a replica of the Money in the Bank briefcase. This is the real thing, and in fact this is the very same briefcase that I cashed in on that silly Seth Rollins to win the International Heavyweight Championship, and too become the longest reigning International Heavyweight Champion.
Fans boo at the sound of this, and Rey pats the briefcase and he keeps on talking
Ahh it doesn't seem all that long ago. Me coming out to all you beautiful people, and holding my title high up in the sky. You see I keep this briefcase to remind myself of that wonderous night. When my good friend Eric Escobar granted me the privelage to have this briefcase in my posession. It just gets me extra excited, and motivated of what I am going to do at Wrestlemania, and that is climb that ladder grab that briefcase and become the holder of this briefcase.
Fans boo as Rey looks into the briefcase and he continues talking
You know at first I didn't know what this Money in the Bank did? It is true when I was first a hero on Smackdown I didn't know what this briefcase contained. It wasn't until I saw how other men used it I found out about its power. I thought to myself I needed this power. The power to cash in on any world title, anytime, and any where... man what a gift that would be, and when we formed the Cartel everything came in so beautifully. We had it all mapped out. I lose the title, act like I was injured, and when I come back I would get the title right back. I didn't know how we were going to get the title back immediately, and then Eric told me through the Money in the Bank... and ever since then I realize this right here. This beautiful briefcase holds all the power I need to save Nitro.
Rey begins to get a sick smile, and he continues onto speaking
Ahhh yes good times. But sadly this briefcase will no longer work. I will have to go out, and earn a new one. And that is something I will do. I am no stranger to ladder matches. I have won numerous of them through out my career. I have been in the money in the bank ladder match countless times. I don't fear that match. What I fear is the villains in this match and what they will do with this power. I have seen what Edge has done with a briefcase, and that man people he is no hero. No he left his old home to go to a new one when he cashed in his briefcase. He is not a loyal man, and as well there are more men who I don't know who is going to be in this match, and what they will do... Well it scares me. It scares me knowing that someone else but me would have this power... and they will do something that is totally villanous. That is why this match at Wrestlemania is win at all cost... because if I don't win... Then Nitro will be doomed not just for a short while, but forever.
Rey stops looking at the briefcase, and he looks into the camera
That is right folks forever. You see this power in anyone elses hands is dangerous. Some people don't know how to use it, and what they could do is cause damage not just for days, but weeks, months, maybe even years to Nitro. Only one can hold the power, and that one is me. I am telling each and every single one of you the truth. Remember people I never lie. Everything I say is golden just like this briefcase. And if this briefcase goes to anyone else... then this place is doomed. That is why I the true hero of the UWF will go on to Wrestlemania win this match, and then have all the power in my hands. As for when I will cash in once I win.... Remember I am always thinking two steps ahead. A hero must to outsmart the villains... and you the citizens, or the villains of Nitro won't see it coming. A hero needs a good surprise every once in a while....
Rey begins chuckling to himself as the camera zooms out, and turns off as the fans boo, and Nitro moves on.
The ring is filled with palm trees and tropical furniture as the PA System finally lights up with...
And out comes Carlito coming to a storm of boos from the crowd. Tossing his green apple up and down he cranks his neck and heads down the ramp trashing the fans along the way. "shut up!" "do something fat boy!". Reaching the ring he smiles at the old set up before rolling under the bottom rope, grabbing a microphone.
{{Carlito}}
Before I get started i'd like to address something. This whole ordeal going around on the interwebz about Carlito not being Carlito anymore. You're all used to me coming out to the old Carrebean song coming out here saying the word "cool" in every sentence right?
A small mixed reaction comes from the beloved UWF universe.
{{Carlito}}
Well that didn't get me anywhere did it? You all liked it because I was a joke to you. You needed the laughs before you got back to seeing people become successful. Well I see through the little kids in the front. Snot nose brats anyways, I don't even see the new Carlito shirt anywhere in this crowd. I'm wearing it.
Carlito holds out his arms to reveal a blank black t-shirt.
{{Carlito}}
Solid black like my heart. You all made me this way. You taunted me and forced me to break. You cost me the International Championship for Carlito's sake! You are my Achilles heel so I had to cut you out of my life.
Carlito receives a negative reaction as he scoffs and continues.
{{Carlito}}
This isn't the fatasses in the crowd show. This is Carlito's Cabana!!!!!!!!
He holds out his arms and looks up with a cocky grin on his face.
{{Carlito}}
The only show where apple spitting is guaranteed. You know that is if my guest deserves it. I mean let's talk about my guest for a minute.
He scratches his fro before continuing.
{{Carlito}}
The Showoff Dolph Ziggler.....the runner up in the Royal Rumble. The man that claims to be the future despite having trouble with Jimmy Uso of all people just a few months ago. That's hard to come back from. If it's possible, leave it to the Showoff to weasel his way back to relevance by trying to steal my airtime on the follow up Nitro. Claiming that with the people's support he'll make it to the top. Of all the people in the back, I couldn't stand it. Sitting in the back while a nobody makes bold claims like that? What I needed to say was far more important. So I came out, said my piece, and knocked him out.
He shows off his white grin while the fans boo.
{{Carlito}}
Denting the chair over his head was a memorable moment. Hell, maybe it'd knock him back to 2012 where he was actually finding some sort of success in kicking Chris Masters ass for the Ironman Championship. That was also a memorable moment. Hell, me and Rey Mysterio winning last week was a memorable moment, but the most memorable moment will be when I take Dolph Ziggler on a trip. A trip to my world. The kind of world that doesn't allow fairy tales to come true. My new way of seeing things are dark man......too damn dark for a bright eyed douche bag like Dolph to inhabit. So at Wrestlemania, I will beat the living hell out of Dolph Ziggler. It's something for you all to look forward to. Be prepared for it. A classic Ric Flair beatdown if you feel liking picturing it in your head. Nothing will be easy, but a claim can be made. Imma make Dolph Ziggler my bitch!
He smiles at the boos filling the arena.
{{Carlito}}
Now.....let's introduce to you the man that I promised earlier.....my guest at Carlito's Cabana.......Bob Saget!
He shrugs with a cocky smile and points to the entrance way.
And out comes Bob Saget, the star from "Full House" and guest star from the new Netflix Original Series, "Fuller House"!
The slinky like man waves to the booing crowd with a long smile on his face as he reaches the steps and climbs into the ring where he is then asked by Carlito to sit down on the opposite stool.
{{Carlito}}
Bob Saget, welcome to Carlito's Cabana my man!
{{Bob Saget}}
Thanks for having me Carlito. It's an honor.
{{Carlito}}
Now before we get started, can you admit to something real quick?
{{Bob Saget}}
Uuum...well it depends.
{{Carlito}}
When you were hosting America's Funniest Home Videos, you were just awful.
{{Bob Saget}}
Well...I don't get what i'm admitting to...
{{Carlito}}
Forget it, the real reason why I have you out here is to express how great Fuller House is.
{{Bob Saget}}
Ahh...ok. Well the original series of Full House aired back in 87' and lasted about 8 years ending in 95' leaving such a great story behind. And then when we all thought the story of Full House is done and over with, bam! Netflix hits us with an original Fuller House series guest starring John Stamos, Lori Loughlin, David Coulier, and myself. With the main stars being DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy. Sort of continuing the legacy of the house. DJ taking over the my role. Stephanie taking over Uncle Jessie's, and Kimmy taking over Joey's role. So it really is a treat to see how far the girls have gone by and see how the newer generation of kids fair against the old.
{{Carlito}}
I see. Mhm and what about The Olsen twins. Where are they?
{{Bob Saget}}
New York
Carlito and Bob both look into the camera for a brief moment before being interrupted by...
FAAAAAAAME!
The opening riff of the iconic David Bowie banger cuts the tension in the arena like a knife, the fans in the stands leaping to their feet to cheer on the arrival of the UWF's own Show Off, Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler enters in street clothes with a microphone and after a few seconds of working the crowd, raises it to speak, his music being cut as soon as he does.
DOLPH ZIGGLER
I'm sorry, Bob. I'm sorry to interrupt your predictably shameless plug for your latest venture into television. I mean, I loved Full House and we all loved How I Met Your Mother, so... well, you could imagine how crazy I got when I heard you were going to be back on TV. Except... better, because it's Netflix, right?
The fans chuckle and Ziggler puts on his million-dollar smile as he begins to walk down the ramp and head toward the ring. He stands at the foot of the ramp looking up at Carlito, staring at his Wrestlemania opponent intently, before continuing.
But I'm out here to talk to Carlito, here. See, I was content to stay in the back, but then Carl started flapping his jaw about me and I thought I ought to come out here and set the record straight. And now here I am...
Ziggler climbs up on the apron and steps into the ring.
...setting it straight for Carlito, for you, and for all of the fans here and watching from home: I did not steal his spotlight. I earned it. I earned it by being the best Nitro wrestler in this year's iteration of the Royal Rumble. I earned it by accomplishing more in one night than he has his entire career. I earned it by having my first Wrestlemania moment, a month before Wrestlemania.
Now, Ziggler steps up on Carlito, smirking.
And now he's jealous. Plain and simple. So jealous that he comes out here and cuts me down. So jealous that he tries to take me out with a steel chair because he knows he can't do it with his bare hands. So jealous that he gloats about beating me when the man who was pinned in that match was a rusty former champion well past his glory days, and not the Show Off in his prime. Fact is: I earned it by being better than he is.
Ziggler looks smug as shit as he finishes up his retort, then steps back down a half-step, though his eyes are full of intensity and it's clear he's just about ready to fight here tonight. Carlito looks at him angrily for interrupting his show. He then takes a bite out of his apple and begins to chew it quickly.
Don't you even dare think about spitting that in my-
Carlito spits at Dolph but Dolph moves out of the way and Bob Saget gets a face full of apple spit! Dolph then quickly jumps up and hits Carlito with the Zig Zag! The crowd explodes into cheers as Ziggler's music hit and he smiles down at Carlito and points to the infamous Wrestlemania sign as the camera heads backstage.
The titantron switches from the UWF Nitro graphic to a live feed from backstage. It shows the show's freshest, hottest tandem, The Young Bucks, in the midst of a serious discussion.
Matt: Look man, I just don't think Pearl Jam is gonna cut it.
Nick: I love The Ved man. The Ved is not dead.
Matt: The Ved will never die, Nick. But the Ved isn't Buck. Very few things are certifiable Buck. The Ved, for all he's got going for him, doesn't have a Buck to his name.
Nick: Ya know something...
You're not wrong, Matt. You're not wrong.
Matt: I was thinking something more "oomfy", but also... something that breaths energy. I want something that's like... comparable to... the turn of the Millennium. Ya know, something with all the WHOA of the first Phantom Menace trailer, but also the terror that that world will probably end at midnight. But it also has to have that OLP soft side.
Nick: Got it. Savage Garden - To The Moon and Back. Or that Cherry Cola song. I bet we could dig up a hecka good remix on limewire.
Matt: We're not coming out to Euro-trash club jams. Those jams are hardly jams at all.
Nick: I think technically is Aussie-trash.
Matt: That might be worse. What about Navarro-era Chillies?
Nick: Too lewd.
Matt: Rage Against the Machine?
Nick: Too crewd.
Matt: P.O.D.?
Nick: Too tattooed. But I think you're on to something with this rap metal train. In fact...
Matt: Oh, I think I know what you're thinking...
Bucks: Feint.
The Bucks high five. They have chosen.
Matt: Gosh, it seems so obvious.
Nick: Of course it was Faint.
Matt: And speaking of Faint, let's talk about diabetic comas. And if we're gonna talk about diabetic comas, we might as well talk about our opponents tonight...
Nick: The Dudleys. Psssh, more like the Dursley's, most hated family in England. Just like they ruined a young wizard's childhood, you're ruining the UWF Tag Team Division.
Matt: I wonder what kind of champions can't even beat the Usos?
Nick: The very worst kind, that's what kind.
Matt: Freakin pathetic. It's about time this company saw a better class of competitor. It's about time the UWF had a set of tag team champs it could be proud of again. So enter us, The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, the baddest, youngest, fastest, freshest kids on the block. We've held gold all over the world. Whether it was a company you've never heard of or just one of the one's with a name you couldn't pronounce, we have been there, done that, and got the shirt, and then ripped the shirt off like Hulk Hogan would have.
Nick: Now we're here to do it again. Totally dominate. And the first stop on this Highway to Heck? Dudleyville.
Matt: Hey, I heard that's a rough place to grow up. You know they have one of the worst public school systems in the country?
Nick: I guess that explains a lot. Maybe we can help educate Bubbs and Devo then. Maybe we can help them understand things a little better, cause they always look so confused.
Matt: You're right Nick. That would be the right thing to do. Let's start with a simple math question. How many superkicks does it take to pin a couple of dorks in a non-title match?
Nick: Just one, but I'd count on a few more.
Matt: You're gosh darn right about that. Class dismissed.
Nick: See ya out there, ya dinguses.
The Bucks laugh and walk away. Nitro continues elsewhere.
YER, WE'RE COMING DOWN
GET UP, GET UP, GET UP
DROP THE BOMBSHELL.
The crowd rise to their feet as they await for the appearance of The Dudley Boyz. The crowd raise the noise levels as The Dudley Boyz including Spike and Stacy Keibler arrive on the stage with Bubba holding his Tag Title over his shoulder and Devon around his waist.
Tony Chimel: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall! Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 565 pounds, they are the Unified World Tag Team Champions, Bubba Ray and Devon, The Dudley Boyz!
The champs enter the ring and raise their titles high above their heads. Suddenly though, the lights in the arena cut out with no warning. The fans is ecstatic. They love it when that kind of things happens. A lone Violin can be heard through the black, instantly garnering a spiteful reaction from all but the smarkiest smarks in attendance.
The breakbeat kicks in, accompanied by strobe lights. When the riff hits, a pyrotechnic explosion brings the lights back on. All the stops have been pulled out. From the smoke appears the UWF's illest new duo, The Young Bucks!
Boos. So many boos. The brothers Jackson are unfazed by this though, as they look up towards the titantron, apparently in awe of their excellent choice in entrance music and the awesome fireworks that came with it.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, from Rancho Cucamonga California, at a combined weight of 350 pounds, Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young bucks!
After a moment spent agreeing about what a good decision they made, the Bucks sprint down to the ring and slide under the bottom rope, quickly springing up to pose.
The fans continue to pour the hate on, but the Bucks laugh it off, ready for the re-debut on Nitro.
VS
DING DING DING
Matt starts off in the ring with Devon Dudley. The Young Buck walks around the ring full of confidence. Devon isn't sure what to think of him so he just goes up to him and gets ready to lock up. Matt holds his hand up to say stop. He then crotch chops and tells Devon to suck it. Devon takes a wild swing at Matt but the Young Buck ducks under it and hits a step up enziguri. Devon doesn't go down however but Matt pushes him into his corner and tags in his brother Nick. Nick hops over the ropes and snapmares Devon into a sitting position. Matt hits the ropes and comes back with a running drop kick to the face! Nick then makes the first cover of the match.
1 . . .
Devon is quick to kick out though.
Tony Schiavone: So far, the Young Bucks looks to be a very different team than they were over a month ago.
Bobby Heenan: When they lost to the Uso's, it was nothing more than a fluke. I can't wait till they take the titles off of these schmuks.
Nicks sits Devon up and takes a step back. He then drives his knee into his spine and grabs his arms and begins to pull back on them. Devon certainly wasn't ready for the flurry of offense the Bucks started off with but it doesn't stop Devon from fighting. The crowd rallies behind him and he's able to turn to his side and get to a knee. He elbows Nick in the gut and then sweeps him up with a side slam! Devon gets up holding his back but tags in his partner Bubba Ray. Bubba gets in and immediately hits Nick in the jaw with a left punch, followed by another, then another, then he rolls his arms, getting ready for a bionic Elbow but Nick superkicks him in the face!
Bubba falls flat on his ass and Nick hurries over and tags in Matt. Matt runs at Bubba who is still sitting up and goes for a shining wizard but Bubba falls back and Matt runs into Devon who hits him with an forearm to the face. Bubba then pulls him down into a sitout pin position.
1 . . .
And Matt is quick to kick out! The fans are loving the fast paced frantic action but Bubba wants to put an end to this quick. He waits for Matt to get to his feet and once he does, he grabs him and looks to go for the Bubba Cutter but Matt pushes him off. Bubba turns around and Matt goes for a superkick but Bubba catches hit. He then uses his strength advantage to bring him in closer and hoist him up onto his shoulders before dropping him down with a sitout powerbomb! The ref drops down and counts the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Matt kicks out at 2!
Tony Schiavone: I think the Dudley's have found out that if they keep the match going at a slow pace, they have a much better chance of prevailing.
Bobby Heenan: And a much better chance to put me to sleep.
Bubba stands back up and drags Matt to his corner to tag in Devon. Bubba picks up Matt in a side slam position while Devon jumps in the air for an inverted leg drop. Bubba then goes back out to the apron while Devon makes the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
The pinfall gets broken up when Nick Jackson runs into the ring and dropkicks Bubba off the apron and falling on top of Devon! Nick stays on the attack as he kicks Devon again and again. Bubba is getting back to his feet so in one quick motion, Nick swings through the ropes to the outside and moonsaults off the apron and lands on Bubba! Nick looks out as the crowd boos him but he quickly re-renters the ring. He and Matt both stomp on a downed Devon before they pick him back up to his feet.
The Young Bucks send Devon to their corner and Matt follows up by hitting a running knee. Nick then does a handspring and two backflips across the ring before reaching Devon and then he just turns around and slaps him in the face as the crowd rains down boos.
Bobby Heenan: I love it! This is my new favorite tag team!
Tony Schiavone: They better stop playing around because here comes Bubba!
The Young Bucks are too busy celebrating to notice Bubba slide back into the ring and he pushes Nick from behind and he collides head first with Matt. He then turns Nick around and catches him with the Bubba Cutter! Bubba helps Devon get to his feet before he goes back to the apron and gets tagged in. Matt comes running at him but get thrown over with a back body drop. Nick is just starting to get up but Bubba clotheslines him out of the ring. Matt is all alone but he's not too afraid of Bubba as he takes a swing at him. Bubba ducks under however and grabs him from behind looking for the Bubba Bomb! He lifts him up but Matt breaks his arms free and swings in between Bubba's legs which plants Bubba face first into the mat! Matt turns him over and goes for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Bubba kicks out! Matt can't believe it but he realizes he needs to stay on the champion. He brings Bubba back to his feet but Bubba uppercuts him so hard that Matt flies back. Bubba then goes over to tag in Devon but Nick actually pulls Devon to the floor from the outside. Once Devon lands, his face meets Nick's foot with a superkick! The ref tries to get control of the match but Bubba get hits with a low blow from Matt behind the ref's back! Nick slides back into the ring and helps Matt hoist up Bubba in a tombstone position. Nick then heads back to the apron and springboards in, nailing Bubba with the Meltzer Driver. The ref drops down and counts the cover.

Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks!
The Young Bucks are all smiles having just defeated the Unified World Tag Team Champions. Suddenly however they're thrown off when...
The Usos comes running out to the ring and they begin to brawl with the Young Bucks. The fresh Uso's are able to gain the upper hand as they push Matt and Nick to the ropes and clothesline them over. The Young bucks retreat up the ramp as the Usos' look on. The the Dudley Boyz enter the ring and they have a stare down with the Usos.
Tony Schiavone: All three of these teams certainly have a chance of facing one another come Wrestlemania.
The camera fades as the Usos' and the Dudley Boyz stare off in the middle of the ring.
The titantron lights up with Tyler Breezes face on the screen, looking like the video is coming from his phone from the angle he has it pointed at himself.
Tyler Breeze:
Hello everyone, it is Road to WrestleMania time which means we are getting a lot more viewers than usual. So to everyone new to Nitro wondering Who I am, I am Prince Pretty. I am what you dream of, I am who you crave, and most importantly I am the single most good looking piece of gorgeousness you will ever see. I am Tyler Breeze, and after tonight that introduction won't be needed anymore. Because tonight marks the day I prove oh so many people wrong. In this day and age, everyone has a cell phone, and every cell phone has a camera. But, unlike this one...not every camera is pointed at someone, who's gorgeous. I'm here to fix that for all of you, of course there's no way to make any of you decent looking but by simply pointing that lens outwards in the direction of the spotlight...all of you will be able to point it at the quintessence of cuteness.
Breeze cocks an eyebrow as he does his signature look to the camera before continuing.
Because tonight, Tyler Breeze won't just be another pretty face, Tyler Breeze won't be just another Hashtag Flavor of the Month. Tonight, Tyler Breeze goes one on Gorgeous One with the International Heavyweight Champion. Tonight I defeat the guy who is atop the rankings and the current face of the brand, and as a result become the oh so needed New Face of Nitro. My Rise will continue, whenever I see fit to issue my challenge to the Intercontinental Champion of course, but tonight is a big shoot for me.
Tyler snaps his fingers and points to his head, from off screen Alexas hand comes into frame and brushes back his hair before he continues speaking.
A photo op that will be remembered years from now for what it preludes, The pictures of Tyler Breeze beating the International Champion in the middle of the ring will be sought after as proof you knew to hitch your wagon on me before I became as great as I am destined to. So get those cameras ready, Tyler Breeze is about to hit the spotlight...and once I'm there, there won't be anyone able to get me out of it. I will Slay the American Dragon, I will Conquer the Roman Empire, all while retaining the Pretty Face all of you can't see past.
The titantron switches from the UWF Nitro graphic to a live feed from backstage, where Renee Young is standing by.
Renee: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, the Number One Contender for the UWF International Championship, Kevin Steen.
The crowd, once fully behind Mr. Wrestling, welcomes the site of him with a mixed reaction - the Reigns supporters making it known which man they're behind going into Wrestlemania. Though the cheers and boos echo all the way backstage, Steen ignores them as he prepares for the interview.
Renee: Kevin, thanks for joining me tonight. I know you must have a lot on your mind, between your upcoming match with Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania and your match tonight with the Intercontinental Champion, Daniel Bryan, in the main event -
Steen: Ah - hold on a second, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to stop you there, Renee. You said it - me and Bryan, "Mr. Wrestling" versus the "American Dragon", one-on-one for the first time ever in the United Wrestling Federation. This is a professional wrestling fan's dream come true. This is the culmination of well over a year of me asking and prodding and poking and prying and finally getting what I want. This is bad blood boiling over. For a long time people called Daniel Bryan the greatest wrestler alive. I believe that title belongs to me now. So we're gonna have to sort this out the only way we know how. Violently. This match is worthy of pay-per-view. Hell, it's worthy of Wrestlemania, and you're getting it free tonight on Nitro... in the main event.
And what's it say that me and Bryan are the main event while Roman is somewhere down the card? While the world champion and "face of the show" is getting his ass kicked by the legendary Tyler Breeze, the "second-tier" champion and I will are booked for the top of the show, and we're gonna tear the house down. I promise you that.
To me, this shows that EC3 and the guys running this show backstage know just as well as the boys in the lockerroom and any fan with an ounce of common sense does - Roman Reigns is not world champion material. He's a lucky son of a bitch who coasted into a cozy title reign courtesy of some bad booking. He's only defended his title twice - once against a washed-up maniac, and the other time he only escaped because his opponent refused to have a win handed to him. Roman shouldn't be champion, and he sure as hell shouldn't be in the Wrestlemania main event.
But me? I belong there. Of course I do. I'm getting sick and tired of reminding everyone how many guys I beat and how viciously I beat them to get here. Rest assured, I'll add Daniel Bryan to that list tonight.
Renee: Aren't your worried that you might not be taking your opponents seriously enough? These are some of the best wrestlers in the world today you're facing.
Steen: Renee... come on. I've been beating "the best" for a year now. I don't hold Roman in that regard. How could anybody? The guys is a selfish hack with five moves that even Stevie Wonder could see coming a mile away. I'm not worried. Not in the slightest. Ya know, everybody talks about Wrestlemania moments - those special few seconds that define careers and make the highlight reels for years to come. You can expect Roman's to look a lot like Goldust and NPH's two years ago. I'm not coming for a match, I'm coming for a slaughter. It's gonna get ugly.
As for Bryan... as for tonight... that's a different thing entirely. This is my Wrestlemania moment. This is me finally proving to that douchecanoe that I've always been better, and Nitro is my show now. I know he wanted the match with Roman. I know he thinks he deserves me spot. There are a lot of guys that do. But I'll remind you why it's me here, and nobody else.
There are a lot of twists and turns on the Road to Wrestlemania. A lot of questions. Will Breeze challenge Bryan? Who will be in the Money in the Bank? Who's gonna beat who? Where will the chips fall when it's all said and done? What will the landscape of Nitro look like going forward?
But for all that uncertainty... for all those variables... there's just one me. One constant. One solution to all of it. The be all end all. The guy that show's up each and every week and gets it done. That's why I'm in the main event tonight and Roman isn't. That's why I get to fight Roman at Mania and nobody else does. That's why I'm going to break Daniel Bryan tonight.
Now if you'll excuse me...
Steen walks away from Renee, who looks surprised by the harsh rant. The show continues elsewhere.
Suddenly the light go out and random flashes of light spark up like cameras going off as Breezes theme begins to play.
Tyler walks out on stage, turning to face the arena in time with the music, before looking back over at his phone in his hand and pointing at the side of his head as Alexa brushes back his hair behind his ear using her metal hand accessory. Behind both of them now looms Tyrus and all three begin to make their way down to the ring
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Tyrus and Alexa Bliss, from his season residence in Paris, France, weighing in at 206 pounds, Tyler Breeze!
Alexa skips around the ring and hops up on the ring apron, showing off her hand before standing up and twirling herself through the ropes and into the ring. Breeze makes it to where she is and spins his legs under the bottom rope, just as Bliss hops over them to stand on the bottom rope and lean over the top rope as Breeze looks at himself while laying across the ring apron.
A thud is then heard throughout the arena. The fans are excited as Reigns is spotted near the top of the stairs to the right of camera angle at ringside. Reigns has the International Title around his waist and then takes it off and holds it high.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent, from Pensacola, Florida, weighing in at 265 pounds, he is the International Champion, Roman Reigns!
Reigns makes his way down the steps and starts pounding fists with the fans along the way. As Reigns gets to the bottom of the steps, he walks over to the barricade and leaps over it. Reigns proceeds to walk up the steps and climbs to the middle turnbuckle while holding the International Title up high.
VS
Roman walks right up towards Breeze so Tyler quickly back away into the ropes and yells at the official to do his job. The referee tells Roman to back off as Roman stares at Breeze and smiles. Suddenly however, he's attacked from behind by Tyrus. Tyrus begins to stomp on Roman who was caught by surprise. Tyler instructs Tyrus to bring him up but when he does, Roman powers out hits a superman punch that knocks Tyrus out of the ring. He then turns back to Tyler who looks like he's seen a ghost. The ref then rings for the bell.
DING DING DING
Tyler is still sitting on the middle rope, not wanting anything to do with Roman. He tells Roman that he can sit there all day and Roman isn't allowed to touch him. The crowd boos but Roman just runs up to him and superman punches him in the face and Breeze falls to the floor!
Steen: TYLER!
The crowd explodes into cheers as Tyler slowly crawls to the announce table.
Steen: Tyler how's you're face!?
Tyler: It hurts Kevin!
Alexa Bliss walks over and help Tyler get to his feet. She helps put him on the apron and Tyler tells the ref to get Roman back. He does and Breeze slowly comes into the ring. He then starts to yell at Roman "You're not supposed to touch my face!" but Roman takes a swing at him anyway. Tyler sees it coming however and ducks under to go behind Roman. He then pushes him forward and tries to roll him up but Roman hangs onto the ropes as Tyler rolls back. Breeze then runs at Roman again but Reigns sends him over the top rope. Prince Pretty luckily lands on the apron and kicks roman in the head. Roman stumbles back to the center of the ring so Tyler springboards into the ring and hits a nice looking springboard dropkick.
All that move manged to do however was stumble Reigns back into the ropes. Tyler follows up by hitting a running forearm and stays on thre attack as he has Roman in the ropes. The ref gets to the count of 3 but Roman uses his pure strength to break out and slap Tyler across the face. Breeze retreats back to the center of the ring holding his face and Roman charges him. Breeze sees it coming however and is able to knock Roman out with a Super Model Kick! Breeze quickly falls on him for the cover.

2 . . .
And Roman kicks out at 2! Tyler looks at the ref with disbelief, thinking he had the match put away there.
Bobby Heenan: What!? How did that loser kick out of that!?
Tony Schiavone: He's the International Champion Bobby, he's not going to lose this early, especially not to a super kick.
Steen: That was a super MODEL kick Tony. Totally different thing. And he beat an actual dragon with it last week. Do your research.
Breeze tells the ref to count faster as he sits on the mat. He looks down at Roman and decides to lock in a side headlock on the ground to wear him down. Roman is still a little woozy after that kick but he's easily able to get back to a knee. He elbows Tyler a couple of times in the stomach which gives him a little room but Breeze walks back up into a Tilt-a-whirl slam! The crowd erupts into cheers as Roman goes for his first cover
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Breeze kicks out! Roman doesn't lose his cool like Breeze though and simply stays on pace. He bring Tyler back up to his feet and throws him onto his shoulder. He looks to hit a running powerslam but Tyler falls behind him and pushes him into the corner. Roman catches himself though and back elbows Breeze as he tries to follow up. Roman looks to go after him but Tyrus grabs his foot while the ref was looking at Breeze. Roman shakes his foot free and glares back at Tyrus but Tyler jumps at him from behind, crashing Roman's face in the top turnbuckle. He then brings roman out of the corner and turns him around in a swinging neckbreaker. He then goes for his second cover of the match.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Roman is still in it as he manages to kick out! Tyler mounts Roman and starts to lay in punch after punch. The referee gets to a count of four until Tyler gets off and takes a walk around the ring. He then waits for Roman to get up, getting ready to hit the Beauty Shot and end this. Roman gets up and turns around and Tyler goes for the Beauty Shot! The power of Roman however manages to catch Breeze in mid air like a baby. Tyler looks up at Roman with a terrified look on his face. Roman smiles and in one motion, throw Tyler onto his shoulders and falls back with a Samoan Drop! Tyler rolls out of the ring while Roman takes a second to catch his breath.
Tony Schiavone: The power of the International Champion! That's what you're going to have to deal with come Wrestlemania Kevin.
Steen: What you don't think I've beaten strong guys before? Kevin Nash was bigger, stronger and more threatening than Roman Reigns and guess what, I destroyed him so bad he left and has never come back.
Roman sees Tyler being checked on by Alexa and Tyrus so he goes out to confront them. Tyrus stands in front of Breeze with his arms crossed. Roman just smiles and hits him with a superman punch that sends him straight to the mat. Next up, Alexa stands in front of Roman She gets in his face and tells him to take a swing. Roman just laughs at her which pisses her off. She tries to slap Roman but Reigns catches her hand. Roman however doesn't notice that Tyler has snuck back into the ring from the opposite side. He runs to where Roman is and hits him with a baseball slide that knocks him back. Alexa berates Roman to his face as Tyler gets on the apron. As soon as Roman gets up, he hops off but Roman catches him with a spinebuster to the mat!
Roman seems invigorated as he looks out to a sea of people cheering him on. He grabs Breeze and throws him back into the ring. He then slides in and waits for Tyler to get to his feet. Once he does, Roman charges at him with a Spear but Tyler jumps over it. Roman is able to stop himself before he crashes into the turnbuckles but Breeze comes up behind him and grabs his arms. He slowly turns him around looking for an Unprettier but Roman pushes him forward instead. Tyler turns around and gets met with a massive leaping clothesline. Breeze quickly gets back up only to get taken down with another. Roman goes for a third but Breeze ducks under it and wraps himself around Roman's arms and rolls him backwards in a crucifix pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
But no! Roman kicks out just a split second before the ref's hand comes down for a three.
Tony Schiavone: Breeze almost stole one right there!
Bobby Heenan: Stole one? Are you kidding me Tony? That's called smart wrestling.
Steen: I can't believe you have to put up with this every week Brain.
Roman was caught by surprise and it only fuels him more. Once Breeze is up, he runs at him yet again but the ever crafty Breeze jumps up and hooks his legs around Roman's head for a hurrincanrana. Unfortunately, Roman doesn't go down. Instead, Tyler just hangs there and Roman uses his power to bring Breeze back up and hit a big powerbomb that rattles the ring. The ref then drops down and counts the pinfall.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Breeze kicks out! Roman appears to be in a bigger fight than he initially thought but it doesn't sway his confidence whatsoever. He walks over to the corner and cocks his fist before slamming it down to the mat. Tyrus gets back on the apron and Roman runs over and hits him with yet another superman punch! Tyrus goes down like a ton of bricks but when Roman turns around he gets nailed with the Beauty Shot! Tyler then scrambles for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Roman kicks out again! Tyler can't believe it wasn't enough as he holds up three fingers asking if he's sure it wasn't a three count.
Tony Schiavone: I don't think I've ever seen anyone kick out of the Beauty Shot.
Steen: Tyler clearly must have slipped a bit when he took off because he didn't get all of it and that's why Reigns kicked out.
Tony Schiavone: No need to make excuses for the kid.
Steen: Did you see what I did to Dean ambrose? Don't think I won't do that to you.
Tyler decides to bring Reigns back to his feet. He squeezes his face and yells at him before taking a step back for the Super Model kick. Roman though catches it but Breeze steps up into an enziguri. Roman gets knocked loopy and falls back into the middle rope which springs him back to his feet and right into the Super Model Kick! It stumbles Roman but he uses all his energy to run and Spear Tyler Breeze to the mat! Roman is out of it but his arm is still draped over Tyler for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tyler Breeze manages to kick out! Both men lie down on the mat, neither moving an inch. The ref then starts to count to 10.
Steen: Ha! Look, his spear can't even get the job done.
Tony Schiavone: Considering he was only a couple of feet away from him, Roman didn't pick up his usual momentum to hit it as strongly as he would have liked to.
Bobby Heenan: Now who's making excuses?
At the count of 5, both men begin to inch to opposite sides of the ring. Alexa is trying to motivate Tyler as he moves closer to her while Roman goes to the corner to help get him to his feet. At the count of 8, both men are up and turn to look at one another. Roman runs at Breeze with a clothesline but Tyler ducks under it. Roman turns around and Tyler kicks him in the gut. He then grabs Roman's left arm and traps it across body before jumping up and hitting the arm trap double knee backbreaker! Once again Tyler scrambles for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Roman kicks out!
Tony Schiavone: The International Champion isn't going to give up that easily!
Bobby Heenan: Of course that didn't finish the job, Roman's wearing a vest that's supposed to stop bullets! Why does nobody ever talk about that? What kind of pansy wears protective clothing when wrestling!?
Steen: That's why they call you the Brain. Don't worry though, the first thing I'm going to do come Wrestlemania is rip that stupid vest off.
Tyler Breeze looks nearly exhausted having yet to be in such a competitive match. He hangs over the bottom rope and Alexa Bliss brings over a bottle of water. Instead of just grabbing the bottle and getting the drink himself, Tyler makes her open it and pour the water into his mouth. The crowd is booing but those boos turn to cheers when they notice Roman has slipped to the outside and he runs around the corner and hits the Drive By dropkick on Tyler! Water goes flying everywhere and Breeze gets knocked back into the ring. Roman sits on the apron and stares at Kevin Steen.
Steen: Don't you look at me. I'll go in there and beat you down myself.
Roman taunts Steen, telling him to come in and take a beating. Steen stands up and looks like he's about to go in the ring but then he just sits back down and waves off Reigns. Roman just shakes his head and enters the ring through the middle rope but Tyler kicks the ropes which hits Roman in his balls. He then quickly brings him into the ring with an inside cradle.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Tyler Breeze!
Tyler quickly exits the ring with Alexa and Tyrus. Kevin Steen leaves the announce table and also heads up the ramp. Roman looks up and sees Steen raise the hand of Tyler before sarcastically clapping for Roman telling him good job. Roman looks on angrily as the camera fades backstage.
We fade out from the last segment on Nitro to see backstage interviewer Renee Young standing by.
Renee Young: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guest at this time, the UWF Intercontinental Champion Daniel Bryan!
Renee Young: Daniel, for what seems like weeks now, you've been trying to coax Tyler Breeze into cashing in his opportunity to challenge you for the Intercontinental Championship but he has continued to duck you. What are your thoughts right now as it pertains to Tyler Breeze?
Daniel Bryan: My thoughts, Renee? My thoughts on Tyler Breeze is that he needs to be a man and quit hiding behind his little "Breezetourage" or whatever ridiculous name he's come up with to describe his 2 dingleberries, and he needs to fight me. I want to cave in his stupid face and make sure no one ever makes the mistake of calling him "Pretty" ever again. He wants to play games, Renee. That's not what I'm about. I've never been about that. I fight. And I'm the very best at it. So, if Tyler Breeze can hear this, listen up, poor man's Fandango.......if you want this Intercontinental Championship so bad, then quit being a little pussy and man up.
Renee Young: And speaking of coaxing, tonight, after all of his prying, Kevin Steen gets his wish as you two face off in what could possibly be the biggest main event in Nitro history.
Daniel Bryan: Could be? Renee, this is the biggest match in the history of Nitro. You see, I wasn't ignoring Kevin for all those months. I just wasn't giving him what he wanted. You see, The universe has been plenty busy giving Kevin Steen everything he's ever wanted. A WrestleMania main event, the chance to put down many individuals over the past year......Hell, I wasn't even the one who booked this match. Ethan Carter did so now he has this. Kevin likes to think we're alike and, in a lot of ways we are, but the big difference between us is that I scratched and clawed to get to where I'm at and to achieve what I've achieved. Kevin, on the other hand, he's just lucky. Lucked into every big opportunity he's ever had. And now he walks around claiming to be the greatest wrestler to ever live. Uh uh, Renee. That's my title. Just as much as this Intercontinental Championship is. And I never claimed it. It was given to me by those who saw me compete in the ring. The Absolute Best isn't just a moniker. It's a way of life. And if Kevin wants the real deal Daniel Bryan.....He's got him.
Renee Young: What exactly does that mean?
Daniel Bryan: What that means, Renee, is that I want a fight. And since Tyler Breeze isn't giving me one, I'll give Kevin Steen something he doesn't want. And that's an old fashioned ass beating.....American Dragon style. Oh, Yes......
Bryan then storms off, leaving Renee to herself as we fade into the next segment.
The General Manager of Nitro pops on the screen and the crowd starts to boo wildly.
EC3: Hello everyone and welcome to another exciting edition of EC3TVNHD. Tonight I bring to you two blockbuster announcement. The first you already heard tonight. At Wrestlemania, Seth Rollins and CM Punk will square off against Joey Ryan and a partner of his choosing. Of course I already know who it will be because I signed the paperwork and let me tell you, it's a good one. The other announcement pertain to the Money in the Bank Ladder Match and the other four participants.
EC3 rubs his chin for a bit before continuing on.
EC3: You see I've been taking note of whose been hungry since I first came here. Both Rey and Edge are former World Champions who are no doubt capable of bringing it under the bright lights. I've been thinking about who else could be good enough and what do you know, three former world champions also popped into my head. The first being a man who I've seen done nothing but work his ass off since before I even got here. That man is the Hardcore Champion, Rhino.
The crowd explodes into cheers, happy to see the man get a chance to win the big one.
EC3: As far as the next two guys, well... they haven't exactly lit the world on fire yet. They've both struggled coming out of the gate but I see it in them, potential. These two men won world titles for a reason and now that I'm lighting a fire under them, let's see if they can pull off an upset. The other two men in the match are none other than Matt Morgan and Bray Wyatt.
The crowd does a 180 of the last announcement and they boo the two men.
EC3: And finally, the last spot. I thought long and hard about this but I've finally come to a decision. I love chaos. That brawl between Owen and Rhino was awesome. As much as I'd love to see them go at it in a ladder match, I've found a better wild card. A man who has put in the effort but just hasn't quite been able to get results. Luckily he's as violent as they come and this is the perfect match where he can thrive. The last man in the Money In The Bank Ladder Match is none other than Steve Blackman.
Another chorus of boos comes from the crowd and it just makes Ethan smile.
EC3: Oh and one more announcement. As much of a fan of chaos that I am, I don't allow it to happen if I can't make any money off of it. That's why I stopped Rhino and Owen, it's why I I made that final match with Dean Ambrose and it's why I'm making this announcement. I had Spud write into the Money in the Bank contract that you are not allowed to cash in the title whenever you want.
The crowd boos Ethan harder than they have all night
EC3: Why give away a potential big title change for free? No if you want to cash in this Money in the Bank, you have to give me a month's notice so I can properly make money by promoting the fight.
Bobby Heenan: What a terrific businessman! I can see us all getting a big bonus with the money he makes!
EC3: Goodbye and enjoy the rest of the show.
The camera fades to black as Nitro rolls on.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is a non-title match and scheduled for one fall. It is tonight's Main Event contest! Introducing first, from Montreal, Quebec and weighing 280 pounds, Mr. Wrestling... Kevin STEEN!
As "Godzilla" hits the arena's soundsystem, the fans get on their feet, over the moon for the arrival of Mr. Wrestling himself. Steen trots out shortly after the onset of the song, nodding as he takes in the crowd and shakes out his taped wrists, then lumbers down the ramp and rolls into the ring. Steen is no-nonsense as he turns toward the Titantron and waits the arrival of his opponent for the evening.
Tony Chimel: And introducing the opponent, he is the UWF Intercontinental Champion. From Aberdeen, Washington and weighing 210 pounds, the American Dragon... Daniel BRYAN!
"Breed" draws a less-friendly reaction from the crowd, though those fans Daniel Bryan does have in the audience are cheering as the American Dragon enters with his Intercontinental Title worn proudly on his shoulder. Bryan heads down the ramp without any sort of showmanship, moving straight for the ring and looking game for a fight tonight, intensity burning in his eyes. Bryan enters the ring and hands his belt to the official immediately, who hands it off to a ringside attendant before performing some pre-match checks and calling for the starting bell.
-VS-
DING DING DING!
The two competitors begin to circle each other as they close on the center of the ring, neither Steen nor Bryan particularly fond of the other man and their faces show it. As they close the gap, Steen ties Bryan up and then uses his size to drive Bryan back to the ropes. Steen holds Bryan there but isn't able to do something and the official calls for a break-up. Steen backs off and rolls his shoulders, while Bryan shakes out his wrists, and then the two tie up. This time, Steen forces Bryan back into the corner and then drives a knee into his gut before hitting him with a back elbow, followed by a second, and a third, and then throwing him to the ring canvas. Bryan rolls through, however, and ends up on his feet. Steen, seeing this, charges -- right into a dropkick from Bryan. Steen hits the canvas hard, Bryan rolls out under the bottom rope to the apron, and then leapfrogs the rope with a legdrop onto Steen's gut! Mr. Wrestling eats it as Bryan rolls backwards and back to his vertical base, then closes on Mr. Wrestling and tries to pull him back onto his own two feet.
Tony Schiavone: A back-and-forth in the early going and the American Dragon is now on top here, Brain.
Bobby Heenan: Where he should be. Say what you want about him -- Kevin Steen definitely has -- but Daniel Bryan is arguably the best talent our business has ever known.
As Bryan pulls Steen to his feet, Kevin uses the grip to pull Bryan in and take him down with a shoulder block. Steen is quick to mount the smaller man and begins to pound the piss out of him, smashing his face with forearms and punches until Bryan is able to throw his hands up to defend. Steen is unrelenting as he continues the assault, raining punches down until the referee orders him to stop. Only then does Mr. Wrestling push back to his feet and step away from Bryan, who is clearly thankful for the reprieve though his bell has been rung. Bryan grabs the ropes and uses them to get to his feet, but as he does Steen charges and lariats him over the top, sending him crashing to the outside!
Tony Schiavone: Whoa! That had to hurt!
Bobby Heenan: Actually, Steen probably did Bryan a favor there. He's letting Bryan catch a breather.
Quite the opposite. Steen follows Bryan out, then hauls him to his feet and straight up smacks him on the mouth before lifting him and slamming him spine-first into the ring apron! Bryan hits with a thud and then falls to the floor as Steen, grinning, grabs him by the hair, hauls him back to his feet and then throws him unceremoniously toward the ring steps. Bryan, however, leaps up onto the steps and then moonsaults backwards, crashing into Steen and taking him down!
Bobby Heenan: Helluva counter! See, I told you he's the best!
Bryan is quick to his feet and as Steen sits up, he punts Steen on the spine. This causes the Quebecker to roll onto his hands and knees and then clutch at his back, which puts Bryan in the right position to pull him up and roll him into the ring before climbing up onto the apron and heading for the turnbuckle. Bryan climbs to the top as Steen lumbers back to his feet and turns around. Then the American Dragon comes off looking for a hurricanrana! Bryan lands cleanly, but Steen maintains his balance and lurches forward, dumping Bryan unceremoniously with a turnbuckle powerbomb! Bryan stumbles out and Steen grabs him around the waist before tossing him up and over with a belly-to-belly! Steen then covers Bryan for the first pin of the match.

...NO!
Tony Schiavone: And in spite of all of the power moves, Daniel Bryan is still able to kick out at two!
Bobby Heenan: When you're the Absolute Best, it takes a lot more to keep you down than some common scrub.
Bryan is clearly still rocked and Steen seizes the advantage, hauling him back to his feet before driving a knee into his gut to double him over. Steen then tries to pull Bryan up onto his shoulders for a powerbomb, but Bryan drives some rights into Steen's forehead that cause him to stumble backward before grabbing the ropes to pull himself over Steen's head to land on the canvas! Steen, dazed, stumbles forward a few feet before turning back around to face Bryan and the American Dragon charges, nailing the Dragon's Bite! Bryan hooks the leg.

...NO!
It's Steen's turn to pull off a shocker of a kick-out and the fans pop as he does.
Bobby Heenan: Damn... I really thought this one was over.
Tony Schiavone: I guess the rule you just said about being the Absolute Best also applies when you're Mr. Wrestling!
Bryan, realizing he hasn't quite got this one stitched up, tries to roll Steen over but he gets a punch to the face for the effort. Steen then rolls away from Bryan and out of the ring under the bottom rope to regroup.
Tony Schiavone: I've never seen Steen roll away from a fight before.
Kevin, now on his feet, gives his head a shake and rubs his lip, which was split by the Dragon's Bite. He then heads up onto the apron after some prompting from Bryan, who even steps back and allows him to do so unaccosted. As Steen enters, however, Bryan is on him -- thrashing him with some hard blows to the back of his neck and upper back before dragging him between the ropes and dropping him with a rope-assisted DDT! Bryan then rolls Steen over and attempts to lock in the ME! Lock, but as he does the referee immediately calls for the rope break when Steen puts his foot on it. Bryan, frustrated, slaps the canvas and then heads to the corner before he starts to stalk Steen, looking for another Dragon's Bite.
Tony Schiavone: And now Daniel Bryan is going to go for another!
Bobby Heenan: Well, if it almost worked the first time...
As Steen gets to his feet, Bryan takes off at full tilt -- but so does Steen, and he plows Bryan with a HUGE shoulder block. The fans pop at this as Kevin hooks the leg.
1...
The fans turn, suddenly, to booing as AJ Lee comes rushing down from the back! Steen is oblivious, as is the official, who continues to count the pin.
2...
Just as the referee counts two, his ankle is grabbed by AJ and Bryan kicks out. The official turns and stands up before giving Lee an earful from inside the ring. Steen, meanwhile, angrily pushes to his feet and heads to the edge of the ring to shout some less-than-tasteful insults in AJ's general direction. Bryan, spotting the opportunity, takes advantage and attacks Steen from behind with some clubbing blows before sending him into the corner with an Irish whip. Bryan then rolls out of the ring to have words with AJ, clearly not satisfied with the situation himself. The two actually have a visible argument before Bryan orders AJ to head backstage, shouting, "I don't even need you!"
Tony Schiavone: What? Daniel Bryan telling his paramour to beat it!
Bobby Heenan: Well, he's not wrong there, Schiavone! Rewatch the tape, he kicked out on his own!
AJ, put out, heads to the back in a tantrum as Bryan slides back into the ring and looks at Steen, who is simply smirking. Mr. Wrestling is clearly glad to see AJ got her comeuppance, but he's not happy for having been denied his victory a moment ago. As Bryan tries to size up Steen, Steen charges, intending to execute a lariat! Bryan however ducks under and runs for the ropes, coming off of them and looking for a Dragon's Bite! Steen ducks that and Bryan sails overhead, landing on his own two feet, but as he turns around Steen kicks him in the gut and then throws him into the ropes! Bryan, however, has the awareness to launch again looking for the Dragon's Bite! This time Steen catches his ankles and flips him over to land on his feet, negating the attack, before kicking him in the gut once more and executing a Pop-Up Powerbomb! Steen immediately hooks the leg!
1...
2...
...NO!
Tony Schiavone: Holy Hannah!
Bobby Heenan: I said it'd take a lot more than that to end the Absolute Best!
Somehow Bryan has managed a kickout and Steen is visibly frustrated as he pushes to his feet and paces the ring, trying to wrap his head around Bryan's sheer will to survive in this match. Finally, Steen comes back around and doubles over to pull Bryan to his feet before hauling him up onto his shoulders in the fireman's carry position! Bryan, however, squirms free enough to roll Steen down into a crucifix pin!
Bobby Heenan: Counter! Bryan counters into a pin!
Tony Schiavone: What?
1...
2...
...3!
DING DING DING!
Here is your winner, the American Dragon
DANIEL BRYAN!
Tony Schiavone: Daniel Bryan pulled off an upset victory after a really well-fought, back-and-forth contest here tonight with a ridiculous counter into a crucifix pin!
Bobby Heenan: It's like I said, Schiavone: he's the Absolute Best. He knows all the tricks and has all the moves. Nobody in the UWF can even hold a candle up to the American Dragon.
Bryan bails immediately after the victory, happy to grab his title from the timekeeper's area and stare into the ring at Steen, who is on his knees and shaking his head in disbelief that he was beaten here tonight. After reaching the foot of the ramp, Bryan turns back toward the ring and holds his belt up high, content to run his mouth a little bit in Steen's general direction as the fans let out a mixed raction and the show comes to a close.
