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! Tonight's main event is a huge 6 man tag featuring Kevin Steen and the Young Bucks and on the other side, Bobby's favorite's, Roman Reigns and the Uso's.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Ugh I hope Kevin absolutely destroys those clowns.
Tony Schiavone: And of course Tyler Breeze goes one on one with Dolph Ziggler.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Screw the match, Tyler has a big announcement he's going to make this week! I can't wait to hear what it is!
Tony Schiavone: And four of the six men in the Money in the Bank square off in a tag team match that's sure to be explosive.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: The Wyatt's have been pissing everyone off but can they coexist with the War Machine? I think things are going to start getting more and more interesting as we get closer to Wrestlemania.
Tony Schiavone: But first we start things off with another tag team match. Tony, take it away!
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: Introducing first, 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.
Tony Chimel: And the opponents...
The members of the BCU walk down the ramp to no fanfare and slide into the ring as this one gets underway.
DING DING DING
All three men go on the attack but Shark Boy and Grado hold them off. They hit double Stunners on Corbin and Crews and they flop out of the ring. Bull looks on angrily and then charges at them. The CUNT performs a double flap jack onto the top rope! Bull falls back hold his throat and he rolls out of the ring.
Bobby Heenan: Someone please tell me someone's going to step up to the plate and take these bozos out!
Bobby doesn't get his wish as Crews walks into a Wee Boot. Shark Boy heads to the top rope and jumps off with a splash! The ref drops down and counts the cover as Grado scouts around the ring making sure nowhere can break up the pinfall.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here is your winners, Shark Boy and Grado, The C.U.N.T.
Shark Boy and Grado celebrate but then Shark Boy asks for a microphone and is given one.
Shark Boy: Now I've about had it with this so called competition. I know the Uso's and those Young Bucks are involved in a war with the Dudley's but where does that leave the C.U.N.T.? You've seen what we've done to this so called division so far so I think that earns ourselves a Unified World Tag Team title shot.
The crowd cheers loudly as they'd love to see the C.U.N.T. square off against the the Dudley's. Suddenly...
One More Time!
The Wet Bandits make their way out and they stand at the top of the stage as Dan Lawrence holds a mic to his face.
Dan Lawrence: Oh yeah right like you nobodies deserve a title shot over us? No way Jose. If I were you, I'd go back to my country before you piss off the Wet Bandits.
Lawrence seems oblivious to the fact that Shark Boy is not a Mexican luchadore.
Dan Lawrence: We've been the most impressive team to come through here in years. Sure we haven't technically won a match yet but that's not the point. We've always come this close to winning and if anyone deserves a shot it's us! As a matter of fact, let's prove it right now.
Dan Lawrence drops the mic and he and Markus Crane head down the ramp. They slide into the ring and start brawling with Shark Boy and Grado. Unfortunately they don't put up much of a fight and the C.U.N.T. quickly disposes them out of the ring. Dan Lawrence is furious as he retreats up the ramp and declares that he'll get his revenge. The C.U.N.T. stands victorious as the camera fades out.
As Nitro rolls on, we're brought to a shadowy, unused part of the arena, featuring none other than The War Machine, The Man Beast - Rhino. In usual fashion, Rhino is wearing his signature singlet, along with some unneeded oil to his long, lock-ish hair. Over his shoulder, is of course, the Hardcore Title. As per angle, the camera is faced perpendicular to Rhino. However, Rhino wastes no time, and gets his promo' right underweight.
Rhino: "One-on-One, Two-on-Two, Money-in-theBank, it doesn't matter. The War Machine's Vicious Cycle is a constant, and knows no sanction! Common folk Steve Blackman and Matt Morgan will both submit to my Vicious Cycle, as they're unable to rehydrate, refurnish, and operate, and just like a machine, I crush them under the grinding gears of the War Machine! Steve Blackman may be a martial artist, but there's no martial art that prepares you for the war I will wage. I adapt before the danger strikes, and I will force a kind of terror tactic on Steve where he asks himself; "Just what am I facing?". The blueprint is simple, Steve. I'm just better than you!"
Rhino pushes himself off from the cargo box, and turns to face the camera. He stares down the lens, before following up with his relatively angry lecture...
Rhino: "Speaking of Blueprints, we have none other than Matt Morgan. Matt Morgan likes to call himself the 'Blue Print', but I'm afraid his design is too simple to handle the sheer complexity of the War Machine's Vicious Cycle. Matt leaves himself open -- he makes himself a target, not because of his size, but because of his simple craftsmanship. He's a heavily extraverted sort of man, no doubt. But, as such, it leaves for predators in the brush, such as I, the opportunity to assess his strengths and his weaknesses. In that, I formulate a plan to assure myself a decisive victory! Matt Morgan's structural integrity is insufficient, and... He. Will. Fall!"
Rhino cocks his head to the right, making some kind of a disgusted facial expression, as he contemplates the, 'inefficiency', of Matt Morgan's Blueprint. Moving forward, Rhino follows up with his relative tirade...
Rhino: "The common folk have flapped their chops, regarding this tag-team match as the most explosive match of the night. However, the sheep are not wrong. But instead, it will be, I, that is the causation for this match's explosiveness, after I plow through Steve Blackman and Matt Morgan, one after the other! I will work with Bray, but for tonight only. Tonight, I set up the prequel that alludes to the future, as Bray can only watch the raw efficiency of my killing spree!"
Rhino expunges a barbarous snarl, before storming off with the Hardcore Championship hung over his shoulder. His tree trunk-like legs are still heard down the hall, in accordance to his large mass, as Nitro rolls on...
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Davenport, Iowa and weighing 217 pounds, Seth Rollins!
The former International Champion emerges from the back as his theme, "I Will Be Heard" by Hatebreed, blasts from the arena's soundsystem. The fans are anything but warm and welcoming for the Architect, but Rollins doesn't much seem to care as he grins, surveying the audience smugly before heading down the ramp to the ring. Rollins climbs the ring steps deliberately and enters the ring between the ropes, heading straight to his corner to await the arrival of his opponent for the evening.
Tony Chimel: And introducing the opponent, from Calgary, Alberta and weighing 227 pounds, Owen Hart!
Hart hobbles out from the back to a similar reaction to his opponent for the evening. Owen is clearly displeased with the distraction of the match ahead of him, a look of sheer disgust worn on his face as he walks down the ramp toward the ring and his foe, Rollins, who he peers at through the ropes, his eyes burning with sheer contempt. Hart rolls in under the bottom rope and stands up, heading for his corner while the official performs his pre-match checks and then calls for the bell.
-VERSUS- 
DING DING DING
There's no hesitation from Seth Rollins as he immediately closes the gap on Owen, charging Hart and bringing him down with a diving double forearm smash. Rollins is all over Owen before he can even get up onto hands and knees, putting boots to Owen's back and side in a series of vicious stomps that force Hart to roll out of the ring and to the outside just to regroup. Hart tries to take a breather but Rollins has something else in mind as he runs for the ropes, leaps clear over them and executes a suicide plancha, sending both men crashing to the floor. Rollins is quick enough to recover to grab Owen by the hair and pull him to his feet. The Canadian is dazed and there's no resistance as Rollins leads him to the ring steps and bounces his skull clean off of them, then throws him back into the ring.
Tony Schiavone: Owen Hart is just being dominated here tonight, Brain.
Bobby Heenan: Seth Rollins may have been down on his luck in recent weeks but he's still a former International Champion and he looks every bit the part right now.
As Owen drags himself to the ropes and slowly pulls himself to his feet, Rollins grins a nasty grin and positions behind him. He then grabs Owen around the waist and executes Hart's own Northern Lights Suplex, bridging into a pin!
Bobby Heenan: Looking to close this off quick and with Hart's own finishing maneuver -- brilliant!
1...
2...
...NO!
Owen breaks loose, but he's still hurting from the vicious assault and it's all he can do to get to his hands and knees. That proves a bad position, however, as Rollins is on his feet quick and charges, dropping Owen with a nasty-looking Curb Stomp!
Tony Schiavone: And there's the real closer.
Rollins hooks the leg.
1...
2...
...3!
DING DING DING!
Here is your winner
SETH ROLLINS!
Bobby Heenan: An absolutely dominant performance here tonight by the Architect, and that definitely cleans the slate a little after a handful of disappointing weeks.
Tony Schiavone: If Owen Hart couldn't even beat Seth Rollins, what hope does he have in taking on Rhino?
Bobby Heenan: Good question.
Rollins smirks at the downed Mad King of Harts and offers him one, minimal-effort kick in the side before...
The song "Cult of Personality" by Living Colour begins to play throughout the arena, signifying the arrival of The Straight-Edge Superstar and former UWF World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk. CM Punk then raises the microphone as he approaches the ring to where Seth Rollins is.
CM Punk:
A true victory, but a victory that was done so easily. Is this the best you could give us? Owen, there's a reason why you'll miss WrestleMania. It is performances like these, you know I've always said I came back for a reason and it's to get rid of the cancer like you. It's also to allow opponents to really step up their game and face two of the best this company has to give. Joey Ryan can continue on with his ramblings, his puzzles and so-called mystery opponent. There is one thing I want to do Joey, next week... I'm going to choose your opponent and you're going to do the same for me. You see Joey, I want competition. Seth wants competition as well, but tonight wasn't competition. It was merely just a simple victory for Seth. I hope you choose the best I could face because I will assure you, this "indestructible" shtick you've got going... I will prove to you Joey that I am the best this roster has. I will also prove to you that you're just all talk and you're nothing but a wannabe. You talk a big game, but will you be the one to finish the job? This is just the beginning Joey... Next week, I want you here in this ring. There's something I'd like to ask you....
CM Punk drops the microphone as he looks at Owen Hart who is getting back to his feet, Seth Rollins grabs him before delivering the Avada Kedavra as Owen Hart stumbles as CM Punk lifts him onto his shoulders and delivers the Go To Sleep before the duo leaves.
We see people outside of the Nitro headquarters sitting around a make shift poduim and we see Blackman in a suit and no face paint on as he stands on the podium, then a swarm of people were coming at him with question, then he noticed one person to ask a question.
Asker #1: Yeah Mr. Blackman, why do you curse so much on your promos? lately you have been getting a lot of flack about that!
Blackman: Why do I curse so much? it's my character who is the one who does all the cursing and getting people offended. Ded Prez is the wrestler, I'm just the one who follows what the paint tells me.
Asker #1: Some people in the black community got offended when you said nigga on live Televison... what do you say about that Steve?
Blackman: I would like to apologize to the viewers at home and in the arena for my words. But you need to understand this, Ded Prez is the one who needs the attention more so than I, I have been in countless of situations where I was bland as a rock. Just being there and not being taken seriously...so that's why you see Ded Prez running his mouth and causing issues backstage.
Then we see second asker ask him some questions.
Asker #2: Do you miss working with the zany Snow? I mean he put you up on a lot of zany and wacky situations in your tag runs.
Blackman: I do, I really do, I mean he was the go to guy who kept me in check in here before I turn my back on him.
Asker #2: Why did you turn your back on him?
Blackman then looks at the second asker with the eyes of "you already should know, bitch" but answers it.
Blackman: I was solo before he came around to me, I been in so much opportunities to make myself a champion...but it hadn't gone the way I planned. So I told myself why not I call Snow and reform something that hadn't caught on in years, we were on a HOT I MEAN very HOT streak tearing every Tag Team guys they had to offer us. Then that moment for us to be like million zillion time Tag Champion or now the newly established Unified Tag Champs on Nitro, was fucked up by Snow.
Then we see the second asker get verbally put down by Muri and the fourth asker comes to ask him some last few questions.
Asker #4: Blackman, are you willing to ease up on the Ded Prez character you portray on TV?
Blackman: Well, if the money is right and people can understand he is just a character and NOT me as a human being...then we will be alright. If someone can separate fiction to non fiction and break the illusion and have a good time in this business, than I will stop at nothing to show my upmost respect to anyone who I vibe with. Like I said before, what you see on TV is not who I am as person.
Then we see Blackman and Muri leaving the podiums with the people
The Camera pans the arena as the ring seems to be set up with stools and a white carpet with Tyler Breezes T-Shirt Design on it. Alexa Bliss walks out on stage with a microphone in hand.
Alexa Bliss: Ladies and Gentleman, Tyler Breeze has Entered the arena.
Breezes theme hits and out he comes as the lights dim down after Alexas usual proclamation. He turns to the crowd and begins to march down the rampway like a catwalk, Alexa skipping along to keep up with him to make sure no hairs are out of place on his head as Tyrus lumbers on behind him. Breeze walks as if they both don't exist walking straight towards his destination as they hover around him, Tyler stops at ringside and looks into his phone and Alexa takes this pause to quickly run around the ring and hop up on the ring apron showing off her hand accessory. As Breeze reaches where she is, she stands up and twirls into the ring as Breeze swings his feet under the bottom rope and lay across the ring apron as steps up on the bottom rope and leans over the top as she trash talks the booing crowd as he points down at Breeze.
Alexa bounces off the ropes and to the middle of the ring as Breeze rolls in and stands up, Tyrus climbs up to the ring apron and steps in. Bliss hands Breeze a microphone as he stands in the middle of the ring, looking down at the four images of his face on the carpet admiring the work.
Tyler Breeze: Hello Everyone, you may be wondering what all of this is. What is so important that I'm taking time out of my busy schedule to have all of this set up, Well as you may have guessed...I have a huge announcement to make right here and right now, one everyone has been clamoring for, everyone has been wanting, actually let's strike the "huge" thing I said earlier, this is a Monumental announcement. I Am...
Tyler pauses, taking a deep breath before he continues as the crowd stand up seemingly ready to hear the championship challenge that's been teased for several weeks now.
Starting my own Talk Show Segment!
Breeze smiles and raises his hands in the air as if expecting the roof to blow off the arena, the crowd simply boo in response to yet another pulling of the rug.
Yes every single one of you has been clamoring for More Tyler Breeze, and what better way to give you all more of me than to host my own interview segment. So everyone get out your little cell phones and start tweeting, because this is going to be trending worldwide. This is the First Ever Edition of, Shootin' The Breeze with Tyler Breeze.
Tyler does his signature look to the hard camera, as Alexa claps in excitement as if acting like the studio audience as Tyrus is just hanging out in the corner with his arms crossed.
The first question to ask on the first ever Shootin The Breeze with Tyler Breeze, hosted by Tyler Breeze...is of course who should be the first guest. I spent a lot of time thinking this one over, and I mean it here I didn't delegate this to anyone I sat down and did all the research. I finally found the perfect person to interview. See I needed someone intriguing, smart, just overall great, so I asked myself.
Tyler turns to face Bliss, resting his hand on her shoulder as he continues speaking as she looks around confused.
Who is the Smartest, Most Interesting, and downright beautiful person I know? The answers were so simple I was surprised I didn't see it before, because the most obvious answer for my first guest.
Bliss is smiling ear to ear as she looks at Breeze, but Tylers hand suddenly moves up so that his phone is facing him as his wrist rest on her shoulder.
is me.
Breeze admires himself on his phone, Bliss doesn't seem to know how to react and Tyler points at the side of his head and Bliss quickly reaches up and brushes it into place before Breeze turns from her to continue on.
I mean let's be honest here, is there anyone else hotter right now? Anyone else everyone wants to know more about? No, the answer to both those questions are no...I'm really good at this huh? yes, I am. Man I'm really really good at this. Okay let's get to the real questions. Ahem...So Tyler, Yes Tyler? As the new Face of UWF, how do you feel about the landscape of the industry right now? Well Tyler, can I just say what an amazing, informative, and gorgeous question that was. As far as the answer to that let me just say that I feel like-
Tylers Self interview is cut off by a familiar theme.
"Breed" by Nirvana begins playing as the fans let out a mixed reaction. Out from the back emerges the UWF Intercontinental Champion Daniel Bryan along with Eric Bischoff and AJ Lee. Camp Bryan make their way down the ramp as Daniel makes constant eye contact with Tyler Breeze.
The Brain: Here he comes, Tony! And look at Tyler Breeze now!
Schiavone: And our Intercontinental Champion hasn't taken his eyes off of him!
Bryan enters the ring alongside his camp as AJ hands him a microphone. He immediately begins right in on Tyler.
Daniel Bryan: Shootin' The Breeze. Wow. That's all I've really got to say. This....this is your big announcement. Bravo, Breeze. Bravo. You've just proved me wrong. Just when I think you couldn't get any more pathetic, you go and do something like this. Listen, Kid.....There's only room for the one true talk show in the UWF. I hate the way you've got things set up in MY ring. These frilly boa things everywhere. Glitters all over everything. It's like walking into a terrible strip club. I'm never getting this shit off, Breeze. So I want all of this gone. Gentlemen, if you would, please...
At that moment, backstage workers make their way to the ring and begin tearing down the set for Shootin The Breeze. Tyler and company are in complete shock as this happens. After they tear it down, they begin setting up a completely different set. After they're done, it's obvious what they switched to.
Daniel Bryan: Ladies and Gentlemen....and whatever Tyler Breeze is....Let me personally welcome you to the Dragon's Lair!
Daniel Bryan: The most controversial and talked-about talk show in the history of UWF. It's the best...Just like everything I do. Take for example, just last week on Nitro....That's twice now that I've beaten and embarrassed the so-called number one contender to the International Heavyweight Championship. First it was Carlito....and last week, it was Kevin Steen. I have proven that I am the true champion of Nitro. I've had many guest throughout the years on this show but this time....Well, welcome Tyler Breeze!
The crowd boos as Tyler and company look on annoyed by all of this. Bryan continues.
Daniel Bryan: So, pigfucker....I can call you pigfucker, right? Anyway, this is usually the part where I begin asking a series of questions to my guest and we have a back and forth. This time, however....This is different. Because, I only have one question to ask you. When? When do you wanna finally step up and fight me? I'm tired of waiting. You see, I've never been a patient man. That's what made me so successful in life. I'm the one true champion of Nitro but I'm a fighting champion. Last week, I'll give the devil his due, you defeated Roman Reigns, our "esteemed" International Heavyweight Champion. Granted, Roman Reigns is just as pathetic as you are, it's not that impressive, but congratulations are in order. There's a big show coming up. It's called WrestleMania V. And I need an opponent to beat up and a championship to defend. Let's shut all the games down now. Will you man up and challenge me at WrestleMania for MY UWF Intercontinental Championship....Or are you gonna keep being a little bitch and duck me?
Bryan then gets in Breeze's face and stares him directly in the eyes. Tyler lifts up his microphone like he's about to respond but instead begins to smirk before dropping the microphone completely. He then signals for Tyrus and Alexa and they all leave.
Schiavone: They're leaving? Tyler Breeze still refusing to give Daniel Bryan an answer.
The Brain: Gotta hand it to the pretty boy. It's great strategy. Keep your opponent on their toes!
After the Breezetourage leaves, Eric Bischoff grabs the microphone from Bryan and begins speaking.
Eric Bischoff: Ladies and Gentlemen, your Intercontinental Champion and greatest wrestler alive today, Daniel Bryan! And why wouldn't he be considered that? Just last week, Daniel put a real hurting on "Mr. Wrestling" Kevin Steen and walked out with his hand held high, just like I knew he would. Because that's how good Daniel is. And that's how good of an advocate I am. Now, I know we had a little bit of a misunderstanding a few weeks back when you fired Rosey & Jamal without first conversing with me, but I like to think of us as best friends. In fact, I kinda feel like a mentor to you. Like a father. And with your victory last week against Kevin Steen....Well, it feels like I got a victory over Kevin Steen too! And as much as you did the work, I laid the ground work for it. So bring it in for Camp Bryan!
Bischoff extends his arms for a hug but as he moves in, Bryan places a hand on his chest stopping him. Daniel is not pleased one bit as the fans pop for this. He grabs the microphone
Daniel Bryan: I don't think so. Last week, I came out to this ring alone. I told Kevin I didn't need any help to beat him and I didn't. I beat him all by myself. So no, none of the credit belongs to you. And as far as my firing of Rosey & Jamal goes, they worked for me. Just like you work for me so no, I didn't need to talk anything over with you. I fired them because they weren't living up to their expectations. And besides, I could use the extra income. What kind of investments and business deals have you been making exactly, Eric? Because the last time I checked the bank account, I was losing money. In fact, just like Rosey & Jamal, ever since I hired you to handle the finances, you haven't exactly been living up to your expectations, either. And now you want to claim my success for your own? Really? No, I've had it up to here with all of your shit, Eric. I'm no longer in need of your services.
Eric seems confused as he's pleading with Bryan.
Daniel Bryan: In layman's terms, Eric.....You're Fired!
The fans pop even louder as Bischoff blows a gasket. Bischoff looks about ready to snap but Bryan rolls up his sleeves before pointing towards the back.
Schiavone: Eric Bischoff has been fired by Daniel Bryan!
Eric, reluctantly, walks to the back. AJ seems giddy as he makes his exit and she goes to hug Bryan. As she does, Bryan stops her just like he did with Eric, creating even more cheers throughout the arena.
Daniel Bryan: Wait. I've got a bone to pick with you. Last week, you came down here and interfered with my match against Kevin Steen after I specifically asked you not to. I wanted that match to be just the two of us beating the hell out of each other, trying to prove to the other who's really the best. Despite your actions, I still came out on top, but it's the principle of the thing, AJ. And this has been going on for a while now and, quite frankly, I'm sick of it.
AJ snatches the microphone away from Daniel and begins laying into him, her demeanor changing from happy to rage in almost a nanosecond.
AJ Lee: You're sick?! Do you know what I'm sick of? You not treating me the way I deserve to be treated. I did you a favor last week. If it wasn't for me, Kevin Steen would've beaten you and you'd be singing a much different tune right now. But fine whatever. I won't "interfere" in your matches anymore. Did you see me react like this when you fired my goons? No. But Oooo I was so mad, Daniel. In fact, I'm still mad. But I can forgive....
Just then, AJ looks to ringside as she spots Daniel Bryan's ex-wife Brie Bella sitting at ringside.
We hear Bryan tell AJ "It's over. We're done." But AJ continues.
AJ Lee: You invited her?! Her?! How could you?! You son of a bitch! You're nothing without me!
AJ then starts to slap Bryan over and over again, gaining major heat from the crowd. Bryan is trying to take the high road and not retaliate but she's taking it way too far, just going crazy. Just then, Brie has seen enough and she hops the barricade and enters the ring. Much to the crowd's delight, she spears AJ to the ground and starts pounding away at her with flying fists. AJ scrambles to get away but bot before having her lip busted and cheek bruised.
Schiavone: Brie Bella coming to the aide of her ex husband Daniel Bryan!
The Brain: AJ's just gone nuts out here, Tony!
AJ leaves still enraged but defeated. In the ring, Daniel and Brie look at each other ad the fans chant "YES!" Before any kind of reconciliation can happen, we see Eric Bischoff reemerge on the stage but this time having Rosey & Jamal with him.
Schiavone: Oh no, Bobby. This can't be good for anyone. What is Eric Bischoff doing here?
Bischoff then points to the ring and the pair march down to the ring and confront Daniel. Brie exits the ring as Rosey gets in.
The Brain: This has bad news written all over it, Tony!
Immediately, Bryan goes on the offensive and attacks Rosey with right hands. He's standing his ground just as Jamal enters and the numbers game adds up. They back Bryan up into the corner and start laying shoulder blocks in. Rosey then grabs Jamal and goes to Irish whip him into Daniel. However, at the last second, Bryan moves and Jamal slams into the corner. Rosey storms at Bryan but he sends him right over the top rope. As Jamal is in the corner, Bryan backs up before hitting him with a running dropkick. After hitting one, Bryan backs up before running and hitting another. After a third time, Jamal falls to the mat. At about that time, Rosey slides back into the ring but Daniel catches him with a stomp to the back of the head. As Rosey gets up to his knees, Daniel lays into him with a series of stiff kicks. With each kick, the crowd screams "YES!" After one last kick to the head, Rosey goes down. He then sees Jamal slowly getting back up so he slinks into the corner and stalks him, slowly pointing his fingers into the air as the fans chant "YES!"
Schiavone: Listen to this crowd, Bobby! They're coming unglued here!
The Brain: I can barely hear myself think! Geeze!
Jamal gets up to his feet only to walk right into a Dragon's Bite! The fans go crazy as Bryan swipes the hair from his face with rage in his eyes. At that moment, Rosey grabs Bryan and goes for a Samoan Drop. However, Bryan rakes his eyes and this causes Rosey to lose his grasp on the Intercontinental Champion. Rosey goes for a clothesline but Daniel ducks underneath and comes off the ropes. As Rosey turns around, he too is met with the Dragon's Bite!
The Brain: Daniel Bryan just single-handedly took out the 3 Minute Warning!
Schiavone: And listen to this ovation, Bobby! It's unreal!
Indeed, the fans are going insane as a huge "YES!" chant is sweeping the entire arena.
Brie reenters the ring and smiles at Bryan. He smirks as the two turn and look at Eric standing on the ramp. They then join in the chant as they throw their index fingers high into the air.
Schiavone: The Yes Man has returned to the UWF!
The Brian: This sight is truly unbelievable, Tony!
Daniel, Brie and the fans continue to chant "YES!" at the top of their lungs as we go to another segment.
Renee Young is seen walking backstage possibly done interveiwing other Nitro talent
Renee walks, and then she bumps into someone Renee is about to apologize when she realizes it is Mark Henry, and behind Mark Henry is none other then
Fans boo, and Rey begins to talk
Rey Mysterio: Renee just the person we were looking for.
Renee Young: Oh Rey... let me guess you want another interview?
Rey Mysterio: Well no... We weren't actually looking for that, but since you so kindly offered we will take it... but first Renee you did something that was very rude last week. Now if you were wondering no it wasn't your attitude although that could have been improved with the questions you were asking, but it was what you did afterwards. You see Mark Henry wasn't happy with you. Can you tell her why Mark.
Mark Henry: You didn't apologize...
Renee Young: Oh..umm..I...
Rey Mysterio: Now not only did you bump into Mark Henry once last week, but you bumped into him now twice... So Renee please do what any good person do, and apologize to Mark Henry.
Renee Young: Oh I am sorry Mark. I promise it won't happen again.
Rey Mysterio: Ehhh the apology could have been better but it will have to do right Mark?
Mark nods, and Rey continues
Rey Mysterio: So Renee what do you have for me this week?
Renee Young: Well I was actually on my way to interview someone else, and since your here I guess I will get to you now... So Rey are you paying close attention to the tag team match later tonight?
Rey Mysterio: Renee of course I am... I mean four of my opponents in the money in the bank ladder match are in there. I have to pay attention to know what these guys like to do inside of that ring, any good hero always comes prepared. I want to know what these four men can do so that way it will be even easier when I take them down at Wrestlemania. So yes Renee I am paying attention very closely.
Renee Young: And have your plans changed now that general manager EC3 has changed the Money in the Bank, because now you don't have a sneak attack, or a quick cash in for your advantage?
Rey Mysterio: Jajaja.... have my plans changed... Jajaja... oh Renee that is a good one. No if anything EC3 just made the Money in the Bank ten times better. You see Renee it plays better in my advantage. I mean honestly sure cashing it in anytime anywhere would have been cool, but you see Renee I am a noble man. I would never do anything cheap to regain my belt back. Nope... So that is why it plays better that he added this months notice. Imagine the current champions fear when he has to realize in a months time he will have to face off the greatest champion in UWF history. My track record speaks for itself. I am undefeated in championship matches. Sure people may say well you lost here, and you lost there. Look in the triple threat where I lost Eddie tapped on purpose, and at Bound for Glory I let Eddie bury me alive so he could become the villain I knew he would become... heck when Del Rio won for the first time it was all apart of the plan to give someone else the belt. When I want the belt I get the belt, and I keep that belt. The champion will have fear in his face knowing that across from them is the undisputed king of that very title. They will do nothing but cower in fear if anything it allows me a month to prepare, and become better then I was before. So Renee thinking that this new Money in the Bank changed my plans is ridiculous because if anything it plays in my favor, and that is why it is most important that I Rey Mysterio must win that money in the bank even more.
Renee Young: And when would you cash in if you do win Rey?
Rey Mysterio: A hero must be good at keeping secrets Renee, and its not if I win... it is when I win what you should be saying. Anyways the tag match is about to start. Come on Mark hope Big Show got the snacks I wanted.
Rey and Mark walk away with Mark staring down Renee Young who once again had another weird interview with the hero of the UWF
Sleeping giant starts playing in the arena, and the aura in the arena goes from that of excitement to that of anger as the massive frame that is Matt Morgan emerges from behind the curtain. As he makes his way down the ramp, he takes a moment to stare at a fans and the sign he has prepared saying "Matt Morgan is the blueprint of failure". He doesn't say a word, but instead he spits on the sign and keeps walking.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is a tag team match and it is scheudled for one fall! Introducing first, from Fairfield Conneticut, weighing in at 320 pounds, Matt Morgan!
Morgan enters the ring over the top rope and hops around in the ring, ready for the opportunity to get his hands on Wyatt again.
With no *BEEPS* given, we see Mr. Blackman walking down the ring with his kendo stick in tow.
Tony Chimel: And his partner, from Annville Pennsylvania, weighing in at 246 pounds, Steve Blackman!
Blackman enters the ring and twirls the kendo stick in his hand, getting it ready in case his opponents try to make a jump on him.
"Gore!"
"Gore!"
"GORE"
Suddenly, "Gore!" chants hit the speakers that soon have the audience on their feet and cheering! Soon after the war-like bellows, we're audibly overcome by the sound of a Rhinoceros charging forward. It's Rhino; no doubt about it. "Tusk", by Jim Johnston hits the P.A. soon after, as he we soon see the mass of Rhino take shape, as he moves past the curtains and onto the stage. Once appearing, he throws his hands up for his signature taunt.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, first, from Detroit Michigan, weighing in at 295 pounds, he is the Hardcore Champion, Rhino!
Rhino sees Blackman with a kendo stick in hand and decides to wait on the outside for his partner. He doesn't have to wait long though as suddenly the lights in the arena go out.
The lights come back on and the whole Wyatt army stands behind Rhino. Any normal man would be frightened but Rhino simple feels confident as he enters the ring. Wyatt tells his family to stay at ringside as always as he slowly enters the ring. Blackman feels safe for now so he drops his kendo stick on the floor and the ref calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
The bell rings as Morgan stands across the ring from Rhino. He points at Bray, saying he wants him to get in. Wyatt just laughs at him and Rhino shakes his head, telling him he has to worry about him now. Morgan walks up to Rhino and shoves him, telling him he wants Wyatt. Rhino gets angry and comes back with right hands to the seven footer. He knocks Morgan into the ropes and tries to shoot him off but Morgan reverse and sends Rhino instead. Rhino comes back with a clothesline but it's not enough to take Morgan off his feet. Matt flexes a bit and tells Rhino to try again. Rhino hits the ropes and comes back with another clothesline that still has very little effect on the Blueprint. Morgan tells him to try one more time and Rhino obliges. He bounces off the ropes but runs right into a big boot by Morgan!
Bobby Heenan: Rhino may be the Hardcore Champion but he's got no weapons to help him chop down the giant tonight.
Morgan picks up Rhino and throws him head first into his corner before tagging in Blackman. Steve comes in and kicks Rhino in the gut before quickly sending him to the mat with a snap suplex. Blackman doesnt even bother going for a cover, knowing the Hardcore Champion has kicked out of a lot worse than a simple suplex. He picks Rhino back up but the Man Beast starts to fight back with some shots to the midsection. Blackman quickly cuts Rhino's offense short with a knee right to the stomach. Blackman then drops him down with a DDT and goes for the first cover.
1 . . .
A kickout at 1! Blackman brings Rhino back to his feet and irish whips him into the ropes. He runs with him though and knees Rhino in the stomach as soon as hits the ropes. He keeps a hold of him and does the same thing on the opposite side of the ropes. He goes for it a third time but as he irish whips him, Rhino reverses but instead of sending Blackman off the ropes, he brings him right back to him and drops him down with a snap powerslam! Rhino slowly walks over to his corner and tags in Wyatt
Bray comes in and starts to go to work on Blackman with clubbing blows to his back. He throws Steve into the middle rope and starts to choke him out. He smiles at Morgan while doing so and it only infuriates him. Matt tries to enter the ring and ref holds him back. This allows Braun Strowman to hit a big punch to the face of Blackman who was still hanging over the second rope. Wyatt then hits the ropes and lands a big senton onto Blackman and he goes for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Blackman kicks out! Wyatt grabs Blackman and brings him back up. He stares at Morgan and bends Blackman over his knee with a smile on his face looking to hit the Sister Abigail. Blackman comes to life though and begins nailing Wyatt in the head with hard rights over and over again. Wyatt walks away to shake off the cobwebs and comes back to a bicycle kick right to the face. Wyatt goes down like a ton of bricks and Blackman crawls over to Morgan. Matt extends his hand out, begging for the tag and he gets it!
Tony Schiavone: Here comes the big man!
Bobby Heenan: Wyatt better look out!
Bray stands up and immediately gets taken down with a clothesline. Wyatt gets right back up to get taken down with another. Bray pops back up once more and goes for a clothesline but Morgan dodges it and gets him in a full nelson before picking him and dropping him down to the mat with a full nelson slam! Morgan flexes and yells out in anger and the pure intensity ignites the crowd. He picks up Wyatt and throws him over his shoulder. He runs towards the corner and slams Wyatt into it before dropping him down in a tree of woe. Bray is helpless as he hangs upside down and Morgan begins to kick him over and over again. Eric Rowan doesn't take to kind to this and he hops on the apron but Morgan sends him crashing to the floor with a big clothesline!
Wyatt uses the opportunity to free himself and fall down to the mat. Morgan doesn't want to let up though, wanting to make sure Wyatt gets what's coming to him after the beatdown he suffered a couple of weeks ago. He throws Wyatt back into the corner and clotheslines him a few times. Bray crumbles to the floor but Matt doesn't care. He picks him up by his hair and drags him to the middle rope. He puts his knee on the back of his head and chokes out Wyatt while looking at the rest of the family. He spits at their general direction and covers Wyatt with his forearm right in his face.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Bray kicks out! Morgan only smiles, knowing he can inflict even more pain on the man he's been waiting to get his hands on. He brings Wyatt back to his feet but Bray springs to life and uppercuts Morgan. He quickly stumble backwards and Rhino tags himself in. The clothesline by Rhino catches Morgan by surprise and takes him off his feet. Morgan stands back up and Rhino irish whips him into the ropes. Matt comes back and Rhino uses Morgan's own momentum to lift him onto his shoulder and quickly drop him down with a death valley driver!
Tony Schiavone: He may be a whole foot shorter but make no mistake about it, Rhino is a powerful man!
Rhino waits in his corner for Morgan to turn around. Blackman is trying to tell Morgan to tag him in but Matt feels like he's got this. He turns around and Rhino charges but Morgan gets his knee up! Rhino its a face full of the seven footer's knee but it only stumbles him. He simply latches onto Morgan and throws him down to the mat with a belly to belly suplex! The referee then counts the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Morgan kicks out!
Bobby Heenan: Matt may be my favorite to win every match but he's got to tag in his partner right about now.
Rhino's lip is bleeding after that knee to the face but the War Machine doesn't even seem to notice it as he picks Morgan up and puts his head between his legs. Whether he was going for a powerbomb or a pile driver, we'll never know because Morgan simply back body drops Rhino to the mat and tags in Blackman. Steve comes in and immediately starts to lay kicks in on the Man Beast. Rhino is on his knees as Blackman just unleashes a flurry of kicks before taking a step back and hitting him with a Bicycle kick to the face! Rhino looks like he may have been knocked out as he slowly falls back and Blackman goes to cover him.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Rhino kicks out! Blackman doesn't seem impressed. He grabs Rhino by the face and starts to pick him up but Rhino headbutts him ion his midsection. Blackman hunches over and Rhino quickly puts his head between his legs and lifts him up and powerbombs him onto the mat! Rhino then slowly makes his way over to Bray and tags him in.
Blackman is just getting up when Wyatt comes in and Wyatt never sees the roundhouse kick coming! It absolutely levels Bray but Wyatt just rolls out of the ring. He walks to where his family is and Blackman decides to exit the ring and grab his kendo stick before walking over to where they're at. Morgan joins the party and takes out his own kendo stick from underneath the ring. The two men then go to town on the Wyatt's who only cover up because Bray has not instructed them to attack. Just when it looks like they might attack Bray next, Rhino comes out of nowhere and Gore's Morgan! Blackman turns around and Wyatt clotheslines him to the floor.
Tony Schiavone: The numbers game of those damn Wyatts! Can't he ever fight for himself?
Bobby Heenan: You telling me if you mind control over a bunch of giant hillbilly swamp people, you wouldn't use that to your full advantage?
Bray throws Blackman back into the ring. He's all smiles as he's firmly in the driver's seat. He goes over to the corner and lowers himself for a spider walk. He slowly and creepily makes his way towards Blackman but Steve just punches him in the face and Wyatt falls down. Steve gets back to his feet at the same time Wyatt does. He charges Bray but Wyatt catches him and hits a side slam back breaker before throwing him back with the Sister Abigail! Wyatt then goes for the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, Rhino and Bray Wyatt!
The Wyatt Family enters the ring and bring Matt Morgan with them. They throw him in and they all start to attack the two men. Rhino stands on the outside, wondering if he should help or not. He looks at the carnage going on in the ring and decides this only helps his chances and he walks back up the ramp to massive boos. Meanwhile. Rowan picks up Morgan and Harper lands a massive discus clothesline! Strowman picks up Blackman and strangles him out until he's motionless and he drops him to the mat. Wyatt drops to his knees and opens his arms as his 3 giants stand behind him. He yells out to the crowd to follow the buzzards at the camera fades out.
THE FOLLOWING IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY UWF.COM
We are shown a some sweeping shots of the Houston skyline, traffic along highways, and recognizable landmarks as a voiceover of a thus unidentified-speaker sets the stage.
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE
Houston, Texas. Today, we visit the residence of former International Championship challenger and perpetual loser Carlos Colon Jr. -- or Carlito, as he's known to most of the civilized and parts of the uncivilized world.
B-roll shows us the exterior of the house before We are carried inside, quite literally, as the cameraman approaches the front door and opens it to walk into a hallway. The door is heard being shut and the cameraman takes a few steps into the room before he turns the lens toward himself.
Hello, I'm Rolf Wiggler, intrepid ace investigative reporter for UWF.com -- your number one source of all news UWF. Today, I decided to take a look at the man who styles himself to be "cool" and gleefully spits apple pieces in the faces of those he believes aren't "cool," Carlito.
"Wiggler" turns the lens back around and starts walking down a hallway into what looks like a fairly standard kitchen. But "Wiggler," with his crack sleuthing skills, moves right in on the sink where a pile of unwashed dishes is collecting flies and, presumably, putting off a very foul odor.
Blech. Talk about GROSS. Don't you know how to do your dishes, Carlos? I mean, c'mon. We all have busy lives -- and the life of a professional wrestler isn't any less busy, I would know... by talking to my friends, obviously. But just because you've got a lot going on professionally, that doesn't mean you can't put in a little elbow grease around the house. I mean, these things are sprouting vermin, Carlos. Living creatures. And the smell! Definitely not cool, man. Not cool.
The feed cuts to another walk-up, this time on a closed door. "Wiggler" pauses for a moment to address the audience once more.
And now, the big reveal... Carlos' bedroom.
"Wiggler" opens the door and steps in, and he can't contain his laughter as he pans around the room, the camera clearly showing walls covered in posters and photos of Carlito spitting apples, fighting Roman Reigns, hanging out with Heath Slater, and more. "Wiggler" turns the camera back around so the lens is facing him once more.
You know what else isn't cool? Self-idolation. I mean, it's narcisissm, basically. Everybody already knew Carlito was a narcissist, but look at this nonsense... posters of yourself all over the walls? Photos... and is that...
"Wiggler" turns the camera back around as he approaches a particular poster on the wall, of Carlito in his pose from his roster photo on UWF.com, with the UWF logo. The photo is signed.
...is that an autographed roster picture from UWF.com? Seriously, Carly? You autograph your own wall art? Talk about desperation for approval. Did your parents, like... disown you as a child, or something? This is some serious, next-level crap, man. I mean, I'd get it if you were a dirty-blonde, mid-30s sexy-as-all-Hell Show Off with the natural wrestling skills of all of the greatest legends in the sport combined, but you're just a jerk with an afro. Seriously, an autographed cover of the Knocked Up DVD would be more appealing as wall art. I mean, come ON...
...that's just sexy A.F., man!
The feed cuts again as we are taken back out front of the house, "Wiggler" facing the lens with the house behind him.
...and there you have it, an exclusive look at the home and lifestyle of one Carlos Colon Jr. And Carly? Do your dishes before Wrestlemania, will yah?
THE PRECEDING WAS A PRESENTATION FOR UWF.COM
Nitro moves to the backstage office of Ethan Carter III, going over some last minute paperwork involving Wrestlemania when a commotion is heard outside his door.
UWF Worker
Hey, you can't just barge in there. Stop!
Before anything else could be said or done, the door swings open, with Owen Hart the one storming into the room, going right up to EC3's desk with a fire in his eyes. Once there he stops, glaring down the man in charge before calming down with a smile.
Owen Hart
Let's have a chat, shall we?
EC3 opens his mouth to respond but Owen stops him with a Shhhhhhhh
Owen Hart
And by a chat I mean I speak and YOU listen. Ever since my arrival on Nitro I have made one thing abundantly clear. I. Want. Rhino. Specifically, I want what Rhino holds. I fired the first shot and Rhino has fired back. He wants to end me as much as I want to take what he has. Yet week after week I'm given pawns to fight instead of going after the bigger pieces. I can understand protecting the Queen in Roman Reigns and the Bishop in Daniel Bryan from my path, but keeping the Knight just out of my reach by blocking me with Finlay and Rollins and The Rock. What you saw last week was a courtesy. He may meddle in my matches, but I've chosen to stay out of his, for now. Rhino has his match at Wrestlemania and I would hate to spoil that for him. To watch him climb up that ladder...only to fall by my hands would be tragic.
Owen pauses a moment to let what he just said sink in.
Owen Hart
But it doesn't have to be that way. Rhino can walk into Wrestlemania, free to go from looking over his shoulder to looking up at the prize free for his taking. All I ask is for one thing and I promise that any presence of mine at Wrestlemania will be benign.
I simply want Rhino. Next week. For his Hardcore Championship. What you saw last week wasn't even a taste of what I'll bring to the ring if that match gets made.
Owen waits with a smile for EC3's response. Ethan stares at him before chuckling.
Ethan: You expect me to just give you a title shot like that? Especially after that pathetic effort in your match earlier? No. You're not getting yourself a title shot. I don't care how many times you attack Rhino. This isn't the old UWF, people have to earn title shots. But I'll tell you what. If you want Rhino, be my guest. Next week, you've got him. It won't be for the Hardcore title, it won't even be a hardcore match. Consider this is taste. If you can prove you can beat him, then we'll talk about a title shot. Until then, my security detail will see you out.
UWF security comes to escort Owen out but Owen doesn't allow them to touch him. He looks at Ethan and slowly smiles before walking out on his own accord. The camera then heads back to the ring.
FAAAAAAME!
As David Bowie's iconic pop-rock track cuts into the open arena air, the fans get on their feet and scream for the arrival of UWF's resident Show Off, Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler emerges from the back with a wide grin and he's 50 shades of fired up as he marches down the ramp toward the ring, working the crowd all of the way down.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! introducing first, from Hollywood Florida, weighing in at 218 pounds, Dolph Ziggler!
Once Breezes music hits and he spins around to reveal himself to the audience, he looks into his phone, checking himself out as he walks down the ramp and the titantron behind him streams his phone's camera in real time.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Tyrus and Alexa Bliss, from his seasonal residence in Barcelona, weighing in at 206 pounds, Tyler Breeze!
Breeze does his usual shtick when entering the ring and then puts away his phone. Him and Ziggler stand across from one another and the ref calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
The two walk into the center of the ring and start reaching their hands, out, trying to feel each other out in the opening moments of the match. Ziggler quickly locks in a side headlock but Breeze just walks backwards and uses the ropes to push Ziggler off. Dolph comes back and Tyler drops to the mat. Dolph hops over Tyler, hits the ropes and comes back. This time Tyler jumps into the air to hop over Ziggler but Dolph just plants his knee out and Breeze lands on it in an atomic drop. Tyler hops around and Dolph just drop kicks him before Breeze rolls out of the ring.
Bobby Heenan: Oh C'mon! I think Tyler is asexual but you still can't do that to a man!
He tries to regroup on the outside but Ziggler goes out to fetch him. Tyrus as always stands in the way but Dolph just walks past him knowing Tyrus can't actually lay his hands on Dolph. Ziggler then grabs Breeze and slams his face against the ring and then throws him inside the ring. Alexa gets in the face of Tyrus asking him why he didn't stop him. Meanwhile, Ziggler slides into the ring but Tyler quickly recovers and kicks Ziggler in the stomach. He then executes a snap suplex and right away goes for the pin.
1 . . .
Ziggler gets his shoulder up quickly. Breeze stands him up and lines him up. He goes for the Beauty Shot early and Dolph dodges it. Tyler scrambles back to his feet but Ziggler hits the Famouser! Now Ziggler goes for his first pinfall attempt.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Breeze kicks out! Dolph doesn't get frustrated, he simply stands back up and look down at Breeze. He then jumps high for an elbow drop but Breeze rolls out of the way. Ziggler's elbow hits the mat hard and he grabs onto it. Tyler sees an opening and grabs Dolph's hand and applies a wrist lock. Breeze then slams him elbow onto Dolph's hand which send him walking off into the ropes in pain. Breeze follows him and kicks Ziggler in the stomach again before reapplying the wrist lock.
Breeze then turns it into a hammerlock, putting all the pressure into Ziggler's shoulder as he wrenches his hand upwards. Dolph grabs the back of Breeze's head and brings him forward with a snapmare. Breeze rolls through it and Ziggler jumps up for a drop kick but Tyler stays put and Ziggler gets nothing but air. Breeze drops to the mat and gets Ziggler into a side headlock.
Bobby Heenan: Look at this, Breeze is taking apart Ziggler piece by piece. If I were Daniel Bryan, I'd be worried.
Tony Schiavone: If I were Tyler Breeze, I'd just worry about my opponent in the ring tonight.
Bobby Heenan: He's Tyler Breeze, he doesn't need to worry about anything! It's not like he loves to show off like that chump he's in the middle of breaking.
The crowd starts a slow clap for Ziggler and it helps him get back to his feet. He elbows Breeze a few times in his side before he grabs onto him and hits a back suplex. Both men lie on the mat but Tyler is able to get back up first. He sees Ziggler start to get up so he heads to the top rope. Dolph gets up faster than expected and simply runs up the ropes before Tyler can get ready and he jumps off with a Facebuster from the rop rope! Dolph then makes the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Tyler kicks out! Dolph slaps the mat, thinking he may have had it there. He gets back up and brings Tyler to his feet. He slowly turns him around, looking for a snap neckbreaker but Tyler turns around quickly and pushes Ziggler off of him. Dolph turns around and runs right into a Super Model Kick! The ref drops down and counts the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Ziggler kicks out! Alexa looks flabbergasted on the outside, thinking Breeze just had it. He gets up and brings Dolph to his feet. He grabs Dolph's arm and puts it across his own throat, looking for the cutthroat backbreaker but Dolph spins out of it and manages to get behind Breeze and throw on the sleeper hold! Alexa realizes Tyler is in trouble and hops on the apron. Tyler has his hands reached out and Tyrus grabs them and pulls him in, catching Ziggler's throat on the top rope. Dolph scurries off back to the center of the ring holding his throat, coughing but he turns around right into the Beauty Shot! Tyler falls on him for the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Tyler Breeze!
Breeze celebrates as Alexa raises his hand and Tyrus stands behind them while the camera fades out.
The action comes to a pause as the tron turns on to reveal one of the Money in the Bank participants. Edge.
Edge:
WrestleMania is coming upon us sooner and sooner and the closer it gets the more confident I feel about my match. And the more confident I feel the more worried and concerned the champion should feel. Honestly... it doesn't matter that Eric Carter the third or whatever wants to change the rules of how we cash in because all that means is that the champ is going to have that much longer to sweat because none of my opposition is going to pose much of a threat against me in that ring. And for that briefcase... it already has my name on it. Didn't you know I am known as Mr. Money in the Bank for a reason. I define that title. I live that title. Because that is all about being the ultimate opportunist. It is all about making sure that when all is done that there is only me standing at the top. Only me that is going to take hold of it and take hold of my future title. Reigns already knows that I would have beat him if it wasn't for little Rod Mysterio. And the other hacks in this match couldn't hold a lighter to the talent I have. Let alone them challenging for the title would be a worse move than whoever approved Gigli should be shown in theaters. Well that or any of The Rock's movies.
But anyways... this is short and sweet for all of my future subjects... go ahead and assume the position and bow down... to your future Money in the Bank winner... and future world champion. It's only a matter of time.
Edge turns away from the camera and walks away as Nitro heads elsewhere.
We head backstage where Renee Young spots International Champion Roman Reigns
Renee Young: Roman, sorry to bother you, but can I ask you about your match last week with Tyler Breeze?
Roman Reigns: No comment.
Renee Young: I know it was not the outcome you expected, but your WrestleMania opponent, Kevin Steen also lost a tough match to Daniel Bryan. Thoughts on that match?
Roman Reigns: No comment.
Renee Young: Can I ask you about tonight and teaming up with your cousins, the Usos?
Roman Reigns: My family, the Usos, they are finally getting their opportunity in the spot light of the main event. But that's for them to enjoy to prove they belong. For me, it is getting my hands the McRib himself, Kevin Steen. That is unless he decides to stay clear of me, which would be best if he does want to make it to WrestleMania.
Renee Young: Thank you, Roman and good luck tonight.
Reigns stares at Renee for a few seconds
Roman Reigns: If McRib is as tough as he says he is, then he and I will preview WrestleMania tonight. If not, then he's just another big bitch that is all hype with a big mouth. I plan on knocking in that mouth tonight. Believe that!
Reigns walks off as Renee looks on and Nitro rolls forward
Tony Chimel: The following contest is-
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Ethan Carter the Third comes out to boos from the crowd. He walks down the ramp and heads to the ring.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Our esteemed general manager is here! I can't wait to hear what he has to say!
Ethan enters the ring and grabs the mic from Tony and tells him to exit the ring. He does and Ethan begins to speak.
Ethan: I know you people were expecting a match of some sort. Maybe Joey Ryan would come out here to entertain you but not tonight. I've canceled his match this week to make some more announcements for Wrestlemania. First off, multiple tag teams have come to me, saying they deserve a title shot. Both the Uso's and the Young Bucks have beaten the champions. The C.U.N.T. have beaten everyone put in front of them this far. All of them have valid point so at Wrestlemania, they'll all get a shot.
The crowd cheers for the four best teams on Nitro going at it at Wrestlemania.
Ethan: That's not all. The Wet Bandits have also come to me and while they haven't actually won anything, I like their unpredictability so why not, I'll add them in to make this a 5 way.
Now the crowd turns on Ethan but he just smiles.
Ethan: Now hold on, there's still more. I like the chaos that adding and extra team adds but I want more. That's why I'm making this match a falls count anywhere elimination match.
Now the crowd does a 180 and fully cheers on the announcement.
Ethan: Now as far as everyone else who's not the the card, Well I told you I'd be evaluating talent and I wouldn't be giving people just a throw away match. Having said, I believe I've cut the fat from the roster I've inherited and as far as anyone else on my roster who has yet to have a match, well here's what's going to happen. Both RAW and Nitro have conferred and we figured it's in everyone's best interest to have ourselves a battle royal. So anyone who doesn't have a match is eligible for the Battle Royal at Wrestlemania and the winner, well, the winner gets a title shot for their respective brand's title. Which title you ask? That's up to the each brands choice but for now, enjoy the rest of the show.
And with that, Ethan leaves the ring as the show rolls on.
Tony Shiavone: Well next up we have a-
Tony stops speaking as he starts listening to something being told to him on his headset
Bobby Heenan: What is it?
Tony Shiavone: Ladies and Gentleman apparently we need to cut backstage immediately
The feed cuts backstage as a cameraman is rushing down a hallway towards a lot of commotion, when it finally arrives to the scene you see Tyler Breeze over Daniel Bryan on the floor as he is frantically hitting him with right hand shots. You see luggage scattered on the ground as it's obvious that Tyler attacked Bryan from behind as he was leaving.
Tony Shiavone: Tyler Breeze has jumped Daniel Bryan! We need some help out there.
Bobby Heenan: That's what happens when you throw away all your friends Tony!
Tyler stands up, stomping down on Bryan as he does before he hovers over him.
Tyler Breeze: You want to know when I'm going to challenge you so badly?! Well American Dragon, I'm officially challenging you for the Intercontinental Championship, At Wrestlemania Five!
As Breeze is shouting down at Bryan, Referees finally get on the scene. Tyler stands up quickly as Tyrus gets in front of him to protect him from any of the shouting refs telling him to back off. Tyrus being there showing that Breeze had help in his backstage assault.
Tony Shiavone: Finally we get someone there to help, what an opportunist Breeze is attacking a man as he's leaving the arena.
Bobby Heenan: Are you seriously still talking about Daniel Bryan!? We just heard a huge announcement, Daniel Bryan vs. Tyler Breeze for the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania!
As Breeze and Tyrus walk away, Bryan is being helped up, the camera pointed at his face and it goes from pain across it to opening his eyes with a look of anger as he shakes his head up and down. The crowd watching cheer as they know now Daniel Bryan is mad now.
Tony Shiavone: I think Tyler Breeze might regret getting Daniel Bryan angry like this.
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... legendary professional wrestling and mixed martial arts journalist, and the publisher and editor of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter... Dave Meltzer!
For the first time in history, Pope Dave is live on UWF television. The enlightened in the audience are amazed and ecstatic. Those not offering up a standing ovation are bowing in humility. The other ninety-percent of the crowd seem unimpressed as they waned off to the concession stand.
Renee: Dave, thank you for joining me. I know you must be very busy, so I'll keep this quick. First off, welcome to the UWF. I understand that you're here as a guest of The Young Bucks and the Number One Contender for the UWF International Championship, Kevin Steen. Is that correct?
Meltzer: Why yes it is, Renee. Of course it's common knowledge that I have a healthy, professional respect for The Young Bucks, just like everyone knows that the Jacksons are fans of the Observer. After their lackluster start to the year, reports came in that they were heading back to Japan -
Renee: Is that true? Aren't they signed to a multi-year contract? Wouldn't that be a breach of -
Meltzer: Ahem. As I was saying, they were Japan-bound so I gave them a call and suggested that they just hang in there and show the the UWF Universe what they can do better than any other team in the world. They took my advice, and now look at them - they are arguably the number one contenders for the UWF Unified World Tag Team Championships. As a matter of fact, a reliable source has told me that they will be facing off against The Dudleyz at Wrestlemania in a Tables Match, after which the Dudleyz will be branching off as singles stars again.
Renee: I haven't heard about anything like that...
Meltzer: Well, as the leading investigative journalist in this field. I can assure you my sources are sound.
Renee: Excuse me... um... "the leading investigative journalist in this field"?
Meltzer: I've been doing this for nearly four decades. I should think so.
Renee: What about Scoops McCallahan?
Meltzer: Ha! Please...
Renee glares daggers at Dave as he continues...
Meltzer: So anyway, here I am, not in a professional capacity but rather as a fan... and dare I say, a mentor. I'm here, totally off the record, to watch as The Young Bucks cement their claim to the tag team titles, while at the same time Kevin Steen confronts the UWF International Champion Roman Reigns for the first time ever in a UWF ring.
Renee: Don't you think that might bring your journalist integrity into question?
Meltzer: My what?
Renee: Nevermind. Next question - will you be at ringside for the main event tonight, or even in the corner of the Bucks and Steen?
Meltzer: No, I'll be watching from a VIP room backstage. I don't need to be out there to ensure an obvious outcome. Look, let's be honest here. The Usos are a talented young team. Roman is a great talent. But these are "sports entertainers" we're talking about. These men were created by Vince McMahon and Triple H, cashing in on the popularity of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. There's nothing wrong with that. They are business men and they need to make money. They're making "superstars" to make money.
But these pet projects only work in a controlled environment. When you start to introduce foreign bodies - predators from outside the natural habitat... while then everything changes. The Usos were designed to thrill and appease children. But their high-flying, superkick-heavy style is a watered down version of what The Bucks have been doing on the international circuit for years.
And Reigns? We've seen it before. He's this generation's Hogan. He's a handful of power moves with a Hollywood body. He's a product. That works well against a guy like Eddie Guerrero who was at the tail end of his career, or against a guy like Carlito who hasn't really reached his full potential yet. But even that was a close call. What happens when he squares off against a seasoned veteran like Kevin Steen - a man who we think is in his prime every year, but then goes on to continually exceed all expectations? Steen has so many ways to end this match, but Roman only has one. Reigns has never been in the pressure cooker before. He hasn't consistently faced off against elite talent. Steen has done almost nothing but.
Did he win The Rumble? No. Is his record perfect? No. Are there other guys on the roster who deserve a world title shot? Absolutely. Ziggler, Bryan, Breeze, Rhino, Calito... there's so much talent on Nitro right now. But Steen has a stronger case for this match, and I'd say the best odds at winning it. Look at his resume. He's set records and retired legends. His clean losses in one-on-one matches are countable on a single hand. I mean, yeah, Bryan beat him last week, but only with AJ's help, and he scored a quick pin after escaping a move that probably would have sidelined him indefinitely and taken him off of Wrestlemania.
But look, I don't need to make excuses for Kevin, nor do I need to sell him. His actions speak for themselves, and I believe you're going to see that again in the main event tonight.
Roman is good, but not good enough. You can see it in his eyes - the certainty of failure creeping in. I can tell you truthfully - because I've been in this business for so long - the Roman doesn't believe in himself, even if he's acting like he does. He's throwing petty insults and puffing out his chest, but when you compare the accolades and capabilities of Roman Reigns and Kevin Steen... while it's hardly even a contest. In my professional opinion, and that's all I really have, Roman will be lucky to survive the night to see Wrestlemania.
Renee: Alright. Thanks for your time Dave.
Meltzer: My pleasure. Oh, and congrats on the post-Mania push you'll be getting.
Renee: I haven't heard -
Meltzer: DON'T YOU EVER QUESTION MY SOURCES.
Renee looks shocked by the outburst. Dave quickly collects himself and walks away as the show continues elsewhere.
"Godzilla" booms around the arena, garnering differing reactions from the crowd. Most of them are negative and the reaction soon grows bigger when Kevin Steen comes out followed by the Young Bucks. The Young Bucks do their usual pose to the sides of Steen while Steen just looks straight ahead.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is a 6 man tag team match and it is scheudled for one fall! Introducing first, the team of the Young Bucks and Kevin Steen!

He then walks over to the side of the ring with his cousins and they all enter the ring together. The Bucks and Steen clear the ring as Roman tells Steen to bring it. The ref backs him up and tells them he needs to start to match so the Uso's head to the apron and the ref calls for the bell.

Tony Schiavone: We're supposed to be unbiased professionals Brain.
Bobby Heenan: How can anyone be unbiased when the Uso's are so terrible?
Instead of going for the pin, Kevin toys around Jey. He looks at Reigns while he rubs his boot across the face of Jey. He picks up Jey and gets him in position for the Package Piledriver. He lifts him up but Jey breaks free and turns it into an arm drag at the last second! He then jumps and tags in Roman as the crowd goes wild!
Roman finally enters the ring and both men grab onto one another and immediately start hockey fighting. Punch after punch are being thrown, with Roman the fresher of the two obviously getting the advantage. Steen just pushes Roman away and rolls out of the ring as the crowd boos. Roman doesn't want to give him any room so he decides to exit the ring and give Steen chase. Steen turns the corner and Roman follows but he doesn't notice both Young Bucks lying in wait and as soon as he turns the corner, he gets met with a double superkick to the face! Steen then picks him up and throws him back into the ring.
