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 ourselves another fantastic card but it's up to the wrestlers to see if they put on any entertaining matches.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: You'd think with Wrestlemania coming up, everyone would be clamoring to make an impact but it looks like everyone who EC3 bothered to give a match at Wrestlemania has been doing well and those he didn't well they proved him right.
Tony Schiavone: Well disappointing wrestlers aside, tonight's main event is a big one as we've got Rey Mysterio going one on one with Dolph Ziggler.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Both men have been doing well but you'd better believe the Hero of UWF will easily vanquish this evil doer.
Tony Schiavone: And last week they were tag team partners but this week they look to see which is the better man. Steve Blackman and Matt Morgan will square off.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Oh but that's not all, Daniel Bryan and Edge renew a rivalry and I hope they both beat the living hell out of one another.
Tony Schiavone:But first we start things off like most Nitro's with tag team action!
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.
"Faint" hits the PA, inspiring a most heinous reaction from the crowd. They boo the ever-loving heck out of The Young Bucks as the UWF's most promising young duo emerges, accompanied by some pyrotechnic spectacularity. The brothers Jackson hustle down the ring, sliding beneath the bottom rope before throwing up a pose. This only serves to irk the fans more. Smiling some cocksure grins, the Bucks ignore the haters and head down the ramp.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, from Rachel Cucamonga California, Nick and Matt Jackson, the Young Bucks!
The Young Bucks hop into the ring and do their signature pose while the C.U.N.T. looks on. Both Grado and Nick Jackson head to the apron and the ref calls for the bell.
VS
DING DING DING
Matt is all smiles as he circles the ring with Shark Boy. He stops though and sticks his hand out. Shark Boy extends his hand out for a shake but Matt Too Sweet's him right in his eye! Shark Boy is blinded and he turns around right into a superkick! Grado quickly enters the ring and starts to attack Matt but Nick hops in as well and helps the Bucks get back in control with some rights of his own. They both send Grado off the ropes but he comes back with a double clothesline! Shark Boy slides back in and clotheslines Nick over the top rope!
Matt is all alone and Grado picks him up and puts him on his shoulders. Shark Boy goes to the top rope and the crowd starts to cheer. Matt however slips behind Grado and throws him into the corner, making Shark Boy lose his balance as he falls into the top turnbuckle. Grado turns around and eats a superkick right to the face! Matt climbs up to the middle rope and hurrincanranas Shark Boy off the top and he lands onto Grado below!
Tony Schiavone: The ref needs to get some order in this match.
Bobby Heenan: Are you kidding me? This is awesome!
Matt picks Shark Boy up right away and Nick heads to the apron. Matt gets Shark Boy in a Tombstone Piledriver position and Nick springboards into the ring with a front flip for the Meltzer Driver! The crowd boos furiously as the ref drops down and counts the cover.

Tony Chimel: Here is your winners, Matt and Nick Jackson, the Young Bucks!
The Bucks celebrate their quick win in the ring until...
Jimmy and Jey run down the ramp and they begin a wild brawl with the Young Bucks, still not over them costing them the titles a couple of weeks ago. All four men start to brawl wildly until they all take a step back and everyone super kicks one another! All four men are laid out as the crowd cheers. They all slowly start to get back to their feet when...
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 brothers soon come running out from the back and just as the Uso's and Young Bucks stand up, everyone begin to brawl once again. Shark Boy and Grado meanwhile also slide into the ring and the four teams meeting up at Wrestlemania all begin duking it out. Shark Boy is fighting Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson is squaring off with Jey Uso, Bubba is fighting Grado and Jimmy Uso is busy with Devon.
Bobby Heenan: It's an all our war and if this is how it's going to be at Wrestlemania, I can't wait!
Shark Boy drops Matt Jackson with the Chummer! Bubba Ray takes down Grado with a Bubba Cutter, Nick Jackson takes off Jey Uso's head with a super kick and Jimmy Uso does the same to Devon. The remaining four men all start brawling with one another when suddenly...
One More Time!
The Wet Bandits make their way down the ramp, running at full speed. Jimmy and Shark Boy have their backs turned to the ramp and aren't able to guard themselves when Markus Crane and Dan Lawrence grabs the Unified World Tag Team Championships and strike them from behind with them. Bubba and Nick go to attack the Wet Bandits but both men go low and kick the two men right in the groin! The crowd boos as Dan Lawrence and Markus Crane stands tall over all the bodies strewn across the ring.
Tony Schiavone: Could the Wet Bandits walk out of Wrestlemania as the new Unified World Tag Team Champions?
Bobby Heenan: You telling me the Wet Bandits could get their first win on the biggest stage of them all?
Dan Lawrence and Markus Crane put the titles down and exit the ring and go up the ramp with smiles on their faces as the segment fades out.
As Nitro rolls on, we're brought to the center view of Rhino backstage, with the Hardcore title no less strapped over his shoulder. He's wearing his singlet, otherwise hinting his match with Owen Hart is bound to come soon. He has an irregularly proud smirk on his face, whilst he has his championship tucked under his armpit.
Rhino rotates his chest to get a full-body view of his frame, before moving onward with his lecture...
Rhino: "I'm gonna' have to be blunt, everyone. This locker room has less balls than a radio-time hogging, pop band's concert. I mean, really! It's at least been a month since I became Hardcore Champ', and E'-Cee'-Three still can't find the precise sacrificial lamb to challenge me for my title. Owen, you're a cold-blooded son-of-a-bitch, but for some reason, the suits backstage don't think you're suited to challenge me for my Hardcore Title. But, here's the bottom line: This title over my shoulder wasn't made for the suits. No, it was made for the blue-collar motherfuckers who were willing to take shit, "too far". WE are the -very- sanction that keeps men sleeping at night, so as long they know predators, such as us, have each other's throats to bite out."
Rhino pauses for a moment to bite his lips, before his gaze begins to narrow down upon the camera. Flapping his gums, he proceeds onward on with his questionable sermon...
Rhino: "In fact, the suits backstage should be afraid what happens when I'm done with Owen, later tonight. We've been clawing at eachothers' throats for weeks, and we're just about to reach our boiling point. I'm ready for Owen, but everyone else won't be ready, for what they're about to watch. After I've demolished him, I'll be left without a chew toy to help sate my inquenchable thirst for war. I will then proceed onward unto a uncoordinated, mangy blitz, as the locker room, arena security, and armed response teams are unable to stop me. So God help me, Ethan. That you find me another opponent to chew my chops upon, or else I'll burn a hole in your wallet, until I burn a hole straight through you. With a Gore..! Gore...! GORE!"
Rhino grimaces after his final "Gore" chant. Following up, Rhino turns right face, before storming off with his championship tucked proudly over the cliff of his shoulder. As you'd expect afterward: Nitro rolls on...
Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a non-title bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, in the ring with me already, from Calgary, Alberta and weighing 227 pounds, Owen HART!
The Mad King of Harts is lounging in the corner as the fans shower him with a modest amount of heat, clearly not happy to see him anywhere near the UWF ring.
Tony Chimel: And introducing his opponent, from Detroit, Michigan and weighing 295 pounds, he is the UWF Hardcore Champion... RHINO!
Rhino receives an honest pop from the Nitro crowd as he emerges from the back with his Hardcore Title worn proudly on his waist. With no showboating, he heads straight down the ramp for the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope before unfastening his championship belt and handing it to the official, who then hands it over to a ringside attendant. All the while, the War Machine stares down his opponent, and the referee calls for the starting bell.
-VERSUS-
DING DING DING!
Owen Hart seems distracted at the onset of the match, his attention clearly not on his opponent as Rhino is able to charge clear across the ring and devastate him with a shoulder block. Owen falls back into his corner and Rhino is right there, unloading with a flurry of brutal left and right kidney shots before climbing onto the second rope and raining down closed right fists onto the Canadian's forehead as the crowd counts aloud, straight up to ten. The War Machine then leaps off the rope and, holding Owen by the hair, spins him around in a circle and throws him out of the ring over the top rope.
Tony Schiavone: Again the Mad King of Harts is on the receiving end of a beating. Owen just hasn't been with the program these past few weeks, Brain.
Bobby Heenan: Has Owen ever been with the program? Does anybody remember his last run with the company? I don't get this kid or how he keeps managing contracts.
Rhino follows Owen out of the ring but as he bends down to pull Owen to his feet, Hart thumbs him in the eye. Rhino steps away to rub his eye and give his head a shake before coming back, but now Owen is on one knee and he springs into action with a low tackle on Rhino before attempting to get a mount so he can start slugging the War Machine. Rhino, however, wrestles into the controlling position, rolling Owen over onto his back before grabbing his head by the ears on either side and pulling his face up into a savage headbutt that leaves the Canuck seeing stars. The War Machine then gets back on his feet and pulls Owen up to one knee before kneeing him directly on the jaw, rocking the Canadian again. Rhino, finally, hauls Owen up onto his feet, then picks him up in the fallaway slam position before turning the Canadian up onto his shoulder and dropping him shoulder-first on the barricade! Owen hits it with a sickening thud before falling onto the floor side and Rhino steps away to roar and work the crowd a little.
Bobby Heenan: Impressive show of strength from the War Machine, Schiavone!
Owen slowly begins to drag himself to the barricade to try to get to his vertical base but Rhino comes back behind him and leads him to the apron, bouncing his face off of it before shoving him back into the ring. Rhino then slides in under the bottom and heads to the opposite side of the ring before he begins to stalk Hart, preparing to hit the Gore as the fans chant the name of the iconic finishing maneuver. Hart, however, shows a little wherewithal as he simply rolls back to the outside of the ring, to the dismay of the fans who start to boo him heavily.
Tony Schiavone: Owen Hart is getting out of dodge.
Bobby Heenan: That may be the smartest thing he's done all evening.
Rhino, however, has no plans of allowing separation and he charges, suicide diving through the second and top rope gap and taking Owen out on the outside! The fans pop at the maneuver as Rhino is right back up on his feet and pulls Owen to his before kneeing him in the gut, then lifting him up on to his shoulders and powerbombing Owen neck-and-shoulders first onto the ring apron! Rhino then pulls Owen to his feet and again rolls him into the ring before following him in, pulling him to his feet and Irish whipping him into the ropes on the opposite side. As Owen rebounds, Rhino charges, and he nearly disembowels the Mad King right at center ring before hooking the leg.
Bobby Heenan: The count's just a formality at this point.
1...
2...
...3!
DING DING DING!
Here is your winner, the UWF Hardcore Champion
R H I N O!
Tony Schiavone: Owen Hart for the second week in a row was just completely outclassed here. I have to say, fans of the Mad King must be awfully disappointed in his showing.
Bobby Heenan: Does the guy even have fans, Schiavone? I haven't heard anyone even mention his name in months.
Rhino is celebrating his victory over the downed Owen Hart as the feed moves on.
Bray Wyatt: Can you feel it, man? The winds of change are blowing which means it's only a matter of time before the landscape changes as well. It's only a matter of time before I ascend to the heavens and bring Sister Abigail what it is that she has ordered me to bring her, the opportunity of a lifetime. While you have your pretend heroes hobbling into this with bad knees and men that believe themselves to be controversial coming into this with an injured neck, I have no weaknesses. I have no vulnerable points any of you can attack, I have no disadvantages whatsoever. But I'm not the only one with an advantage, all of you have an advantage as well because you can still heed our warning.
You can still buy yourself some time to live before Wyatt's Way washes over Nitro and it is burnt down to be rebuilt in my righteous image for it. You can still....run.
Godzilla blasts through the PA, accompanying Kevin Steen as he walks out on to the ramp. The UWF Universe, once firmly behind the number one contender to the International Championship, is divided. While some still chant for "Mr. Wrestling" and fly signs supporting him, it seems that more in attendance are backing Roman Reigns, and even booing the man that was once a unanimously beloved face of Nitro.
Kevin notices the schism, but hardly acknowledges it as he walks down to the ring. Stepping inside the squared circle, he asks for a microphone and is promptly handed one by the ringside hand. Steen calls for the music to be cut and then addresses the crowd.
Steen: It's been a rough couple of weeks, hasn't it? I've racked up a couple of losses. One because an official allowed outside interference to take place without calling for a disqualification, and then because an admittedly sick partner was unfit to compete and took a pin. All of a sudden all this momentum I had heading into Wrestlemania seems to have... well... evaporated. Just vanished into thin air.
You might hate me for saying this, but since it seems more of you are jumping off my bandwagon every week, it doesn't matter anyway. Wrestling fans are notorious for their short attention spans. It's like you're all forgetting who I am and what I've done, and who I've done it to, just because I've hit a rough patch...
A rough patch. Hmmm. Maybe that's not the right term. Once again I'm forced to suffer some bad losses with annoying asterisks next to them. Operating on an even playing field, with competent referees under standard regulations, I'm untouchable. I have been since I came to the UWF. Sure, when it comes to hardcore matches, I'm the scariest guy on the roster... but I didn't sign up for that. I'm "Mr. Wrestling". I'm here to wrestle.
I know I've been saying stuff like this for a while, but I feel like I still haven't made it clear, so let me try to clarify. Imagine you're trying to craft a work of art... like a sculpture. You have this vision of perfection, but before you can achieve it, you need to get rid of all the imperfections. In my case, that's shitty refs, garbage matches and match-making, tolerance for run-ins and so on. And I need to achieve this state of perfection, not just to show the world how good I am, but how good I am compared to the frauds and the amateurs.
Roman and The Usos "winning" last week - that must have some of you thinking that those guys are at my level, or somewhere close to it. The truth is that they aren't, but the system has created a narrative that has convinced you otherwise. So things need to change. Look, I'm gonna go into Wrestlemania and cripple Roman Reigns before I take that title. Anyone denying that this it the obvious and only outcome is delusional.
But now I also feel like I need to take out The Usos. I considered those clowns to be harmless curtain-jerkers, but I know that some of you are thinking otherwise. And that pisses me off. I shouldn't have to constantly make excuses and go out of my way to destroy "talent", but when I hear that there's still some trace of doubt out there that I'm not everything I say I am, well, that freakin' irks me. Maybe that makes me a miserable asshole, I don't know. This attitude has won me three world championships and it's about to get me a fourth, so I'm not exactly ready to take criticism for it.
So here I am, within reaching distance of everything I want... hell, everything I deserve, with the voices telling me I don't louder than ever. Those voices chanting Roman's name louder by the week. Each one of 'em just gives me more motivation to rip him apart piece by piece. Him, the Usos, and whatever other branch off that overrated family tree gets in my face again. I'm just gonna have to cut it down and prove for good that nobody ever came off that island that could measure up to me.
Steen lowers his mic to a mostly booing crowd. He looks like he's about to leave the ring, when suddenly, a familiar song fills the arena....
The crowd explodes to see, for the first time in a long time, Rikishi! The Samoan legend is decked out in a full suit, looking classier than ever as he comes down the ramp.
While the warm reception from the crowd has him grinning ear to ear, his smile becomes a scowl when he enters the ring and sets his sights on Kevin. Steen seems agitated by the interruption, but seeing a microphone already in Rikishi's hand, stays to let him speak his piece. Rikishi stands across just feat away from him, glaring right into his eyes as he begins...
Rikishi: You need to learn to have some respect, kid.
Again, the arena fills with cheers but Steen just flashes a sardonic smile.
Steen: Respect? Like a never-has-been loser famous for nothing more than his last name and his fat ass horning in on the number-one-contender's spotlight?
Rikishi: Brother, you're lucky it was me that came out here first. I just happen to be visiting the boys when I hear you running your mouth again. If it had been Roman or The Usos, you'd already be trying to pick up your teeth.
You've got a lot of talent Kevin. A lot of potential. But you're arrogant. More arrogant than anyone I've heard talk in a looooong time. You're making excuses for a couple bad weeks. Maybe you're just not as good as you think you are. Maybe when you and your buddies get beat by a Samoan dynasty, it's because the toughest wrestlers in the world come from Samoa and you've never faced anything like that before.
Steen: Please. There's nothing new under the sun for me, bud. I've seen it all, felt it all, bled because of it and came back swinging harder. It doesn't matter where they import it from. No, there's nothing special about your island besides an undeserved reputation. It's remarkable there's room for Roman's ego, both Usos, all your blubber and a dozen other pricks to fit in the shadow of The Rock, but you sure do manage to pull it off.
I don't need your advice. I won't stomach a warning... not from you. So why don't you step out of me ring - while you can still walk - and take a message to "the family" - while you can still talk.
I don't give a rat's ass about Samoa or -
Rikishi cuts Kevin off by slapping him across the face. Steen slowly turns backs to face him, furious. Without hesitation, Steen boots him in the gut. Rikishi doubles over and Kevin grabs hold of him before hositing him up and nailing a Package Piledriver. The crowd is stunned as Steen gets up and stands over the motionless legend.
"Mr. Wrestling" isn't done yet though. He once again lifts Rikishi, who is little more than dead weight at this point, and hauls him to the nearest corner. Kevin hooks his arms over the top ropes, effectively keeping him on his feet, though he's barely conscious. Steen backs up to the center of the ring, waits a moment, and then cocks his fist and punches the ground, setting up to imitate the Superman punch. The crowd is irate at the sight of this, but their boos become cheers when Roman Reigns suddenly comes sprinting down the ramp.
Steen sees him as he slides under the bottom rope and goes right after him. The two immediately start brawling in the around the squared circle, trading wild blows while the crowd goes ballistic. Kevin appears to take the upper hand after a stiff headbutt. This dazes the champion, and the challenger capitalizes by whipping against the ropes, going for a Pop-Up Powerbomb. Roman charges back off the ropes and nails a Superman Punch instead, stunning Steen as his head snaps back.
Kevin hits the canvas hard, blood fountaining from a clearly broken nose. Reigns backs into the corner and, much to the crowd's delight, sets up for the spear. Like a predatory hawk, he has his sights set, and rushes in as Kevin is getting back to his feet.
Steen sees him coming and rolls out of the ring at the last second. He then retreats up the ramp, clutching his busted nose. Roman yells at him to get back in the ring and fight, but Steen shakes his head, shouting back that he's waiting for Wrestlemania. The crowd boos, unanimously now, at Steen as he walks away from the fight for the first time in his UWF career.
Roman's music hit and the fans are behind the champion as he stares down his Wrestlemania opponent. Steen disappears backstage and Roman helps Rikishi up, the UWF Universe chanting his name. Nitro continues elsewhere.
The feed carries us to a backstage area where Tom Phillips is seen on-screen.
TOM PHILLIPS
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Tom Phillips and I'm here with UWF Nitro's Dolph Ziggler. Dolph, last week you lost a contentious match-up with Intercontinental Championship Contender Tyler Breeze. How are you feeling following that confrontation?
Dolph is animated as he begins to respond.
DOLPH ZIGGLER
Tom, have I ever told you how much I hate losing? I mean, legitimately hate it. It's the worst thing in the world, losing a match. You feel like you let down all of your fans, all of your family... the entire world. And losing to such a smug, superficial, pretty-boy type like Tyler Breeze... well, it smarts a little. I'm not going to lie. I swore I had that match won. It's like someone totally uninvolved with the whole thing went and got himself tangled up in our little one-on-one and tipped the scales in Prince Pretty's favour or something. I don't know.
Dolph shrugs and Phillips chuckles, clearly amused by the Show Off's reference to Tyrus' involvement in the match last week. Phillips, however, is quick to move on to the more topical topic.
This week, you have a one-on-one match with the longest-reigning world champion in the history of the UWF. How are you feeling as you prepare to head out there?
Dolph is all smiles now as he talks passionately.
Rey Mysterio is one of the best this business has ever known. Possibly the best man in the history of this company. He certainly has one of the most impressive title reigns. People underestimate Rey. People don't think he has what it takes to hang without his Cartel friends. But I'm not that foolish. Any man could beat any other man in that ring out there, Tom... and so I'm going to be watching out to make sure no upsets happen. 'cause, see, I want this win. I want it harder than I've wanted anything else to this point in life.
Beating Rey Mysterio will put me right in line as a contender for the International Championship, and that's what I want.
Back to Tom Phillips now as Ziggler walks out of the frame. Phillips addresses the camera.
And that's all for now. Thanks for joining us!
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. Within ten seconds of his theme music beginning, Punk casually walks out from the back with an arrogant smirk on his face. He looks out at the crowd who deliver a mixed reaction.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Seth Rollins, from Chicago Illinois, weighing in at 222 pounds, CM Punk!
Punk slowly begins to take a knee at the top of the ramp, running his hand along the stage before raising a clenched fist and gazing at his wrist as if checking a watch. Punk raises his hands to his mouth and screams "It's Clobberin' Time!" as the fans deliver a mixed-reaction once again. Punk then walks down to the ring.
"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 makes his way into the ring and he places his shillelagh in the corner as the ref calls for the bell.
VS
DING DING DING!
Punk runs up behind Finlay while he's still putting up his shillelagh and attacks him from behind. Finlay tumbles over and Punk start to stomp him in the corner over and over again. The crowd boos loudly as Punk backs off due to a four count from the referee. He walks over to an adjacent corner and then runs at Finlay before taking his head off with a kick to the side of the head! Finlay slumps down even more in the corner as Punk brings him out and places him on his shoulders.
Bobby Heenan: This is going to be quick. Either Punk and Rollins opponents are chumps, or the two former world champions are just this good.
Tony Schiavone: If I was Joey Ryan and his partner, I'd be a bit worried.
Punk smiles at the crowd, displaying Finlay to everyone in the arena before throwing him up and nailing him with the GTS! Punk is all smiles but he doesn't go for the pin. Instead he lies next to Finlay and locks in the Anaconda Vice, looking to send a message to both Joey Ryan and his partner. Finlay was already knocked out from the GTS and can't tap so the ref goes ahead and calls for the bell.
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, CM Punk!
Seth Rollins enters the ring and raises Punk's hand in victory. Two laugh over a lifeless Finlay before they exit the ring and head up the ramp as the cameras head elsewhere.
After the brutal encounter between Reigns and Steen occurred earlier in the show, Renee Young, caught up with Reigns as he came to the back
Renee Young: Roman, what transpired out there?
Roman Reigns: You don't mess with family. That is what happened out there, Renee. Kevin Steen made a big freaking mistake when he put his hands on my family. Steen got everything he deserved. I hope his nose is broken, so that he realized, he messed up.
There are three things you don't do in life when it comes to me. You don't piss in the wind. You don't tug on supermans cape, and you above all else, you do NOT touch my family. Kevin Steen got a taste of what is to come at WrestleMania. It was a good thing he got away when he did because had he not, there would be no WrestleMania.
I hope Dave Meltzer was watching, so that so called "expert" sees that I am no joke and not hype. Hey Dave, I got one up on your boy, so why don't you come face to face with me next time before you act like a chicken shit and talk behind someone's back. At WrestleMania, I am going to kick Kevin Steen's ass all night long. Believe that, Renee.
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.
With no *BEEPS* given, we see Mr. Blackman walking down the ring with his kendo stick in tow. Blackman enters the ring and twirls the kendo stick in his hand, getting it ready in case his opponent tries to make a jump on him.
DING DING!
The two men come to the center of the ring and have a staredown. Blackman shoves Morgan with both hands as Morgan looks down at where he's been shoved. He looks at Blackman, laughing that the "Lethal Weapon" couldn't budge him, and shoves him with one hand as Steve hits the mat and rolls with his legs going over his head as he sits there for a moment before returning to his feet. As he does, Matt charges him and hits him square in the chest with his shoulder as Blackman is left sitting there again. Matt palms his opponent's head and lifts up, raising Steve off the mat as he places him back on his feet before grabbing him by the wrist and irish whipping him into the ropes.
As Steve comes off of the ropes, Matt hits him with a big boot, laying him out. Morgan grabs him by the neck with both hands and stands him up, irish whipping him into the ropes again and connecting with another big boot when he comes back off of them.
Tony Schiavone: This is just sickening. Matt Morgan's treating Steve Blackman like his plaything.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Maybe it'll be over soon.
Steve lies there on the mat as Morgan smiles down at him, snickering at how easy this is for him when suddenly Blackman begins to murmur to himself. Steve suddenly sits up as this gets Matt's attention and the big man throws a punch to the head but Blackman completely no sells it as he gets to his feet. Matt throws another punch but Steve catches it and whips him into the nearest corner, charging after him and splashing him in the corner. Steve backs up as Matt comes staggering out of the corner and begins unloading on his opponent's upper body with a combination of martial arts strikes and kicks as Morgan is eventually put back in the corner, forced to absorb the punishment.
Eventually Morgan catches Steve's hand when he goes to deliver a chop as he throws him into the corner and both men switch places. Morgan sandwiches Steve between himself and the turnbuckle as he throws a series of back elbows, alternating between left and right with each one. After about ten, Morgan walks forward out of the corner, letting Steve fall forward but Blackman thinks quickly and delivers a forward palm strike to the kidneys of his opponent on his way down.
Blackman catches himself with his hands and gets to his feet just as Morgan is turning around to face him as Blackman connects with a thrust kick that takes the big man to the mat.
Tony Schiavone: Blackman just took the seven footer off his feet!
Steve goes to the top rope and waits on Morgan to get up, and when he does he leaps off and goes for a bicycle kick but Morgan cuts that short with a bicycle kick of his own known as the Carbon Footprint as Steve is taken to the mat hard.
Tony Schiavone: He almost got his head taken off!
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: That's what you get for trying to use your opponent's finisher against them.
Tony Schiavone: Isn't it technically Blackman's move? He has been using it longer.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: I honestly can't keep it straight anymore. A bicycle kick is like the superkick and the big boot, everyone does it nowadays.
Morgan isn't done as he picks Blackman up off the mat and sets him up for the Hellevator but as he does...
"The Blueprint" angrily throws down Steve as he begins yelling in the direction of the stage. Unfortunately this opens him up as Blackman rolls him up.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING DING!
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Steve Blackman!
Blackman rolls out of the ring as Matt stands around looking furious until the lights go out.
The lights come back on the the Wyatt Family is all in the ring surrounding Matt Morgan. Steve Blackman doesn't want to bother himself with the Wyatt's any longer so he happily decides to stay on the outside. Morgan decides to throw the first punch so to speak as he lays out Rowan with the Carbon Footprint! The other Wyatt's attack and it isn't long until Morgan is overpowered by the sheer monstrosity of the family until...
"Gore!"
"Gore!"
"GORE!"
Rhino comes running down the ramp at full speed. He slides into the ring and Harper turns around and he eats a Gore from the Man Beast! Rhino then starts to go toe to toe with Strowman as Blackman slides into the ring with his kendostick and he attacks Bray Wyatt.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan:What's Rhino doing out here? He didn't want anything to do with the Wyatt's last week!
Tony Schiavone: After the match with Owen Hart earlier that one would call disappointing had Owen ever not disappointed, Rhino said he wanted a fight and a worthy challenger and he may have picked a great one with the Wyatt Family.
Blackman and Rhino and now Morgan are able to send the Wyatt Family retreating. All four members walk backwards up the ramp, having been defeated by 3 other men in the Money in the Bank. Wyatt though just smiles and starts to laugh as the segment fades out.
[Camera Scene opens when Jey n Jimmy Uso is talking in the hallway while Renee young stops him]

[Camera Scene fades when Jey n Jimmy Uso heads back to there Locker Room before the Young Bucks in The C.U.N.T match even begins this Tuesday]
Fans boo like crazy as the theme of the longest reigning world champion in UWF history Rey Mysterio comes out. Rey is not alone as always he has his "sidekicks" Big Show, and Mark Henry coming out behind him.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from San Diego California, weighing in at 175 pounds, Rey Mysterio!
Rey Mysterio walks down the ramp, and he points at the fans who just boo him, and Rey heads into the ring. Big Show, and Henry don't grace the ring though as the stay outside in front on the announce tables, and stand there almost protecting the rear of the "hero" of the UWF.
FAAAAAAAME!
David Bowie's iconic pop-rock banger heralds the arrival of UWF's Show Off mere seconds before Dolph Ziggler emerges from the back, the audience jumping to their feet to cheer on one of their favourites. Ziggler performs his typical theatrics at the top of the ramp to the delight of the crowd while Mysterio is left to watch on from the ring.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent, from Hollywood Florida, weighing in at 218 pounds, Dolph Ziggler!
Ziggler makes his way down to the ring, making sure to keep an eye on both Henry and Show as he slides in. He walks Aline the ring for a bit until the ref calls for the bell.
VS
DING DING DING!
Rey sticks his hand out for a hand shake. Dolph looks around at the crowd, who boo, not wanting him to trust Rey. Dolph however thinks about it and extends his hand to shake but then hits a drop kick out of nowhere!
Bobby Heenan: What a coward! I knew Dolph was no good!
Tony Schiavone: What are you talking about, we know Rey Mysterio will do whatever it takes to gain an advantage. He said so himself.
Bobby Heenan: There's a difference between doing what it takes and cheapshotting a guy. Dolph is the biggest villain on Nitro and the reason why we need heroes like Mysterio.
Rey retreats out of the ring while Henry and Show comfort him. Show seems like he's about to get on the apron but Rey tells Show to stand down. Henry and Show simply lift him up onto the apron and he re-enters the ring. Rey walks up to Dolph to lock up but he kicks Ziggler in his leg right before they do. Ziggler grabs at his leg and it allows Rey to jump up with a DDT but Ziggler out powers him and just throws him forward. He runs to follow up with the Famouser but ducks under and Ziggler lands on his ass. Rey quickly hits the ropes and drop kicks him in the face and goes for a quick pin.
1 . . .
Ziggler kicks out almost before a 1 count! Mysterio slides backwards into a corner as Dolph gets up. He runs at him and connects with a headscissors. Dolph gets right back up only to get taken down with another. He tries a third time but Ziggler is able to counter it into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! He knows it's not nearly enough so he doesn't bother with a pinh. Instead he gets Mysterio in a headlock looking to wear out his opponent. He looks at Henry and Show and does a headstand, living up to his nickname.
Bobby Heenan: The arrogance of this kid.
Tony Schiavone: Oh come on, I bet you'd love it if Rey Mysterio did it.
Bobby Heenan: Of course I would, he's Rey Mysterio! He's longest reigning world champion in UWF history! Let me know when Dolph actually accomplishes anything!
Big Show and Mark Henry try to get the crowd to clap with them to empower Rey but the crowd is not hearing it, booing louder than before. It still seems to have an effect on Rey though, perhaps thinking the crowd is booing Ziggler keeping the hero of UWF down. Rey is able to get to a knee and elbow Ziggler a few times in the stomach. He takes off to bounce off the ropes and comes back to duck a clothesline attempt by Ziggler. He rebound off the ropes again and this time comes back with a wheelbarrow into a bulldog!
Rey doesn't want to take any chances and he quickly goes to the top rope. Dolph is lying prone in the center of the ring and Rey soars through the air with the diving splash but Ziggler rolls out of the way at the last second and Rey splats on the mat. The high impact bounces Rey to his knees but Ziggler runs up and hits a follow up Famouser! The ref drops down for the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Rey kicks out! Dolph doesn't fret and just picks up Mysterio and throws him into the corner. He then runs and goes for the Stinger Splash but Rey moves out of the way and Dolph eats nothing but the top turnbuckle. Mysterio quickly gets on the apron and springboards into the ring with a dropkick to Ziggler. Dolph rolls all the way out of the ring and fins himself face to face to face with Henry and Show. He stops and dares them to come at him. What he doesn't see is Mysterio coming at him with a baseball slide that he turns into a headscissors takedown on the outside!
Bobby Heenan: There you go Rey, it's that kind of thinking that'll get you the Money in the Bank. You see Tony, that's why they call him the Batman of UWF.
Tony Schiavone: Nobody calls him that.
The Batman of UWF celebrates shortly but throws Dolph back into the ring. He waits for Ziggler to get back on his feet and when he does, Rey hits the ropes and drop kicks him from behind and Ziggler goes forward, draping himself over the middle rope. The crowd boos loudly, knowing what's next. Rey runs for the 619 but Dolph catches his feet. Rey holds onto the ropes as Ziggler tries to drag him to the center. Mysterio's grip is too strong so Ziggler instead just throws Rey up and catches him in a powerbomb position. He then turns him down and drops him down with a sit out powerbomb straight into a pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Mysterio kicks out at 2 yet again! Ziggler thought he had it won there but he doesn't let his emotions get the best of him. He just stand behind Rey and waits for him to get up, hopefully looking for the Zig Zag. He's grabbed outside though by Mark Henry and he turns around to deal with that. Mysterio sees the opportunity and hits a 619 to Ziggler stomach as he's arguing with Henry! Ziggler backs up, holding his stomach as Rey springboards off the ropes and hits the West Coast Pop! The ref drops down to copunt the pinfall!
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
But Ziggler kicks out a split second before the 3!
Bobby Heenan: That was 3!
Tony Schiavone: It almost was Brain but Dolph's still got some fight in him.
Rey Mysterio slaps the mat, thinking he had him there. Mysterio decides to pick up Dolph but Ziggler slips behind him and tries to lock in the sleeper hold! Rey rolls Ziggler forward though but Ziggler is quick to turn back around and jump at Rey before connecting with a big DDT! Dolph then slowly turns over and puts his arm across Rey's chest.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Rey kicks out! Mark Henry looks at Big Show on the outside and they both nod before Henry heads to the opposite side of the ring where Dolph is. Dolph sees this and tells him to backoff and gets the refs attention. The ref tries to keep Henry at bay while Dolph walks back to the middle of the ring buy Mysterio drop toe holds him onto the middle rope. Big Show sees an opening and decides to go for the knock out punch on Dolph but he doesn't see Mysterio going for the 619 at the same time. Ziggler sees the punch coming and manages to move out of the way just before it lands and Big Show's fist slams right into the knee of Rey Mysterio!
Tony Schiavone: Some miscommunication and it looks like Dolph Ziggler could be back in the driver's seat!
Bobby Heenan: Miscommunication? I don't know what you're talking about Tony, Rey Mysterio just got Tonya Harding'd by Big Show! He should have the DQ win right now!
Rey grabs can barely stand as he grabs at his knee, using the ropes to stay up. It's bad idea however as Ziggler runs up behind him and nails him with the Zig Zag! Dolph gets the attention of the ref and he counts the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
But Big Show drags Ziggler out of the ring and hits him with the knock out punch! The ref immediately calls for the bell.
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner as a result of a disqualification, Dolph Ziggler!
Dolph doesn't get a chance to celebrate as Big Show and Mark Henry drag Mysterio out of the ring and haul him off to the back. Dolph is laid out on the side of the ring when suddenly...
Carlito slowly makes his way out from the back with an apple in hand. He calmly walks down the ramp and over to where Dolph Ziggler is. Ziggler is still out cold as Carlito just stands over him and takes a bite out of his apple. He chews for a bit, really letting everything sink in before spitting right in the face of Ziggler! The crowd boos as he smiles and just heads right back up the ramp as the camera heads elsewhere.
YOU WON'T BREAK ME
NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY
YOU CAN'T SHAKE ME DOWN
I'M FUCKING BULLETPROOF
"Bulletproof" by Five Finger Death Punch begins to blare through the PA System. The crowd turns their attention towards the stage, which remains empty for a few more moments before Joey Ryan steps through the curtains, donning a new black BulletProof t-shirt, his signature sucker hanging loosely from the corner of his mouth. He stops at the edge of the stage and points his hand towards the nearest following camera. It's shaped into a gun & he mimics firing it as he smirks. He heads down ringside, climbing each step one at a time before entering through the ropes. He climbs the turnbuckle playing to the fans before his music is faded out & he lifts the microphone to speak.
We, are right around the corner from the biggest night of our professional careers; Wrestlemania! A night where I Joey Ryan, one of the founding father's of BulletProof will step into the ring with CM Punk & Seth Rollins. Two men who have become a thorn in my side since the moment they attacked me almost a month ago. I get what you the UWF Universe are thinking though. Who is Joey Ryan able to get on short notice to step into the ring with him at Wrestlemania? Who is this mystery member of BulletProof who will reveal themselves on the grandest stage of them all? Well.....
Joey Ryan circles the ring
That would be too easy CM Punk wouldn't it now. To spoil the surprise here on Nitro, to give away the big finish? Way too easy for the likes of two sniveling punks like yourself & Seth Rollins. Trust me though when I tell you, that this man will go to war. This man is royalty. He's a decorated champion & one of the biggest faces this company will ever have the privilege of signing alongside the likes of Joey Ryan.
You see, when you're a champion; when you're a winner; you don't have to apply to be in BulletProof; BulletProof wants you. BulletProof recruits YOU. We're not a team, we're not a faction, we're not a stable. Hell we're not even a club. BulletProof is a single entity. It's a lifestyle & the way we conduct ourselves in & out of this ring every day to prove to each & every person that we are the BEST.
He rubs his hand through his mustache as he continues
Which is exactly why Ethan Carter III has put so much stock in our vision, our magnum opus; our Tour De Force so to speak. Last week, Joey Ryan chose not to compete in the middle of this ring, cause BulletProof had more pressing matters to attend to. Instead EC3 came down here, & used that time to make some announcements for Nitro as well as Wrestlemania; all except for the biggest one; which is to take place next week on Nitro in the middle of this ring. Just as our match for Wrestlemania was granted, two matches for next week was granted as well by EC3, with a interesting stipulation. CM Punk & Joey Ryan will BOTH be in action before Wrestlemania, but our opponents at Wrestlemania will....pick your poison.
There's a pop from the crowd
Which brings me to your opponent next week CM Punk...
Joey Ryan is interrupted by someone clearing their throat on the Titantron. CM Punk then appears on the titan tron to everyone's surprise.
CM Punk: Rey Mysterio, Rey Mysterio is your opponent Joey. So tell me Joey, who is it that you've got me to face? Do you honestly think I'm scared? I'm a former decorated champion around here, when we compare each other. I'm far more superior than you'll ever be! This partner of yours, I couldn't care if you snuck a deal with The Rock, Milk Foley, Stone Cold or even The Undertaker who's normally at Wrestlemania. The fact is Joey, Seth and I didn't just come here to be treated as jokes. We are both World Champion material, so if you'd like to stop wasting my time. Announce it so the show can go on, I'm not out there because I've got a fight to prepare for later on.
The feed cuts back to Joey Ryan standing in the ring. He nods his head
Interesting enough Punk, & I have to admit I'm somewhat impressed with you choosing Rey Mysterio. I mean a opponent of that caliber, is only another opportunity for Joey Ryan to prove to the world that BulletProof is exactly what I say we are. It'll be only that more satisfying to take on & defeat another guy who has came back recently & has had everything handed to them. Their spot back in line, a opportunity at Money In The Bank at Wrestlemania, & more top tier titles opportunity in one month then Joey Ryan's had in his entire run on Nitro. It's everything that's wrong with this brand as a whole, & ironic that you would chose them out of everyone on the roster.
Joey Ryan holds up a finger for emphasis
Which...leads me to announce your opponent for next week. This man, is someone in particular that your partner Seth Rollins would know quite about. This man has came to Nitro & has laid waste to everyone that has come across his path, & has cemented himself as a main event stay. This man also just so happens to be the current UWF International Heavyweight Champion. That man is ROMAN REIGNS.
The crowd pops for a announcement
Click...Click...BOOM.
Joey Ryan mimics shooting at the titantron as we go elsewhere
We fade out from the last segment to find backstage interviewer Renee Young standing by.
Renee Young: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guests at this time, Brie Bella and the UWF Intercontinental Champion Daniel Bryan!
The camera pans over to find Daniel and Brie standing nearby and the two can't take their eyes off of each other.
Renee Young: My first question goes to Brie. Last week, you were in the front row for Nitro and came to the aide of your ex-husband. My question is....What's going on between you two?
Brie Bella: Well, Renee, I had far removed myself from the wrestling business ever since Daniel and I split up but Nitro was coming close and I wanted to see where the business was at that point. I haven't had contact with Daniel for months but when I was backstage talking with old friends....We crossed paths. Very little was spoken....But it was all said with a look. And watching that flat-chested tramp treat him that way in the middle of the ring.....Something had to give and I made a choice.
Renee Young: Daniel, what are your thoughts about what transpired last week?
Daniel Bryan: I was in shock. I mean, here I am getting slapped by a crazed loon and the last person I would expect to come to my rescue does. And when she sent AJ heading for the hills, It was like a light bulb lit up inside my head. I love this woman. That has always been the case but, for a time, I loved myself more. In that moment where it was just us, looking at each other like we're doing now.....I realized that I had been living a lie. Brie is my soulmate, Renee. I could never find a more amazing woman to share my life with. That's why we're getting married. Again.
Renee Young: Congrats to the 2 of you, that's tremendous news, but I have to ask....Are you at all concerned about Tyler Breeze after last week's assault in the parking lot?
Daniel Bryan: Not no but Hell No, Renee. You see, if Tyler Breeze thinks sending his big lap dog Brodus....Or whatever he goes by now....after me and then getting a few cheap shots in when I'm already down is going to intimidate me? Well, then he's as stupid as his selfie stick. Tyler Breeze finally decided when and where I'm gonna kick his froo-froo ass at and that's WrestleMania. My show, Renee. If he wants My Intercontinental Championship, then I say over my Dead body. No one is taking this away from me. Especially not at WrestleMania. That's where I thrive. That's where this little "winning streak" of his goes Bye-Bye. I guarantee, at WrestleMania V, he's either gonna be tapping out.....Or he's gonna be knocked out.
Renee Young: Speaking of WrestleMania, tonight you go one on one with someone you've faced at WrestleMania, Edge. Can you focus on Edge while Tyler Breeze is lurking elsewhere?
Daniel Bryan: Listen, Renee. If Tyler wants to start his WrestleMania ass kicking early, that's his perogative, but make no mistake, I'm not looking past tonight. Edge is on a mission to take me out before WrestleMania even begins because he's still stuck in 2013 when I beat his ass at WrestleMania 2. So what I've got to do tonight is put Edge in his place and remind him just why I'm not someone to fuck with. And when, not if, Renee, when.....When I get done kicking Edge's ass from pillar to post, then Tyler Breeze will have my undivided attention. And Tyler....
Daniel turns and looks into the camera.
Daniel Bryan: If you for any reason stick that smug Canadian nose of yours in my match tonight, I won't wait until WrestleMania to rearrange your face. Do you think I'll succeed? Why don't you ask her...
Brie then points upward and starts chanting "YES!" as they walk out of frame and the crowd chants along. We then fade out.
As the UWF Nitro feed comes back to the arena, we are shown a shot of the commentary team of Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan joined by UWF's own Gorgeous One, Tyler Breeze!
Tony Schiavone: Well, it's onward to the next contest and we are joined now on commentary by Tyler Breeze, whose ongoing feud with Daniel Bryan has been creating a lot of buzz on social media and online.
Bobby Heenan: I don't know what "online" or "social media" is, but what I'll tell yah, Schiavone, is this kid Breeze is going places.
Tyler Breeze: Well, thank you, Bobby Heenan. I can see why everyone calls you "the Brain." You're smart... if not a little... undesirable to stare at.
With introductions out of the way, Tony Chimel heads for the ring to announce the competitors in the coming match.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a non-title match!
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME
Tony Chimel: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario and weighing 241 pounds... EDGE!
The Rated R Superstar trots out from the back and heads partway down the ramp before throwing his arms up and legs out to perform his signature taunt, the pyros exploding around him. Edge nods as the crowd gives him a modest pop, then claps hands with some fans as he finishes his walk down the ramp to slide into the ring. Edge shrugs off his jacket and hands it to a ringside attendant, then lounges in the corner awaiting his opponent.
Tony Chimel: And introducing his opponent, from Aberdeen, Washington and weighing 210 pounds, he is the UWF Intercontinental Champion... Daniel BRYAN!
As "The Final Countdown" begins to boom over the arena, the fans start to cheer and the "YES!" man soon follows, charging down the ramp with his forefingers in the air as the fans chant "YES!" his entire run down the ramp. Bryan then rolls in under the bottom rope and continues the taunt, Edge watching with a bemused expression as Bryan works the crowd into a lather while the official performs his pre-match checks, then calls for the starting bell.
-VERSUS-
DING DING DING!
Edge and Bryan stare each other down from opposite ends of the ring before Bryan, grinning, puts both index fingers in the air and starts up a loud "YES!" chant with the crowd. Edge takes a moment to look around at the audience, nodding appreciatively before pointing to Bryan.
Tony Schiavone: The "Yes" Man is back in the UWF and you can't deny these fans here tonight have a thing for the American Dragon.
Bobby Heenan: It's crazy how quickly people turned in his favor.
Tyler Breeze: There's clearly no accounting for taste...
Edge gestures for a test of strength and Bryan nods before the pair close in and lock hands, then begin to battle. One man tries to get the upper hand on the other and it's Edge who comes out on top, forcing Bryan down onto one knee before driving his own knee into Daniel's face, sending him sprawling backward. Bryan is quick to recover, however, and brushes a hand over his bottom lip that is slightly split open before moving in to tie up Edge in a grapple. Bryan quickly transitions into an arm wrench which he then rolls through with one leg to sweep Edge off his feet before falling in with both of them to lock in a cross armbar! Edge cries out as Bryan wrenches the hold, but the Rated R Superstar is able to unload with a few blows from his free hand before seizing the ropes to force a break. As Bryan rolls away from the hold, Edge uses the rope to pull himself back to his feet, then shakes out the arm that was just in the hold. Bryan looks to capitalize, running in to execute an enziguri, but Edge has it scouted and as Bryan comes looking with the kick, he swats him away and the American Dragon lands squarely on his ass! Edge is right there with a running boot straight to his face that plants Bryan on his back, and the Ultimate Opportunist goes for the cover.
1...
...NO!
Bobby Heenan: That kick could've rearranged a man's face!
Tyler Breeze: Pity it didn't make Daniel easier to look at.
As Bryan kicks out, Edge transitions immediately into a side headlock, looking to keep the American Dragon in a position of zero momentum. The fans, however, start to clap and stomp for Bryan and Daniel begins to hype up and fight to one knee before driving an elbow into Edge's gut. A second, and a third, and Edge finally releases the hold. Bryan runs for the ropes and comes back but Edge rushes him and bulldozes him with a shoulder block before going back on the offense with a series of nasty stomps. Bryan is left with no option and so he rolls under the bottom rope to the outside. Bryan is smarting as he walks around the ring toward the commentary area, and Breeze, on commentary, stands up before removing his headset to talk some trash at the American Dragon.
Tony Schiavone: Oh come on, now! That's just uncalled for! Show some class, Tyler.
Bobby Heenan: What are you talking about, Schiavone? The kid oozes class.
Bryan gets in Breeze's face and Prince Pretty simply makes a disgusted look before stepping away and waving his hand in front of his nose, implying Bryan stinks. Daniel, shaking his head, turns back around but when he does he eats a staggering right hand from Edge, who has come to the outside to take the fight to his distracted opponent. Edge then hurls Bryan unceremoniously shoulder-first into the barricade as the fans boo, mostly at the Gorgeous One who has once again donned his headset.
Tony Schiavone: And now Edge is capitalizing on an opportunity.
Bobby Heenan: I'm trying to figure out why the unwashed masses are booing him.
Tyler Breeze: Speaking of unwashed masses, Daniel's smelling particularly pungent this evening...
Edge follows Bryan and hauls him to his feet again before bouncing his face off of the barricade and then leading him to the ring. Edge rolls Bryan in and follows, pulling Daniel to his feet before kicking him in the gut and positioning to plant him with a DDT. Bryan, however, taps into some reservoir of fighting spirit and shoves Edge back, then charges and executes the Dragon's Bite as the fans pop! Bryan hooks the leg.
Tony Schiavone: Dragon's Bite! Daniel Bryan is one of the most explosive men in the UWF.
Tyler Breeze: ...in that he makes everyone want to explosively vomit.
1...
2...
...NO!
Somehow Edge manages to get the shoulder up and this frustrates Bryan, who clearly thought he was about to have the match won. Daniel heads out onto the apron and then begins to climb up to the top before Breeze once more stands and removes his headset to run his mouth from the outside. Bryan's attention is diverted and he stops his climb to turn and talk back to Tyler, but once again Edge capitalizes as he manages to get to his feet and then closes the gap and plain smacks Bryan across the mouth, then tucks his head under arm and executes a corner-assisted DDT! Edge rolls Bryan away from the ropes and hooks the leg.
Bobby Heenan: Big, brutal maneuver by Edge and this one should be all sown up.
Tony Schiavone: That maneuver wouldn't have been possible had it not been for the distraction provided by our guest commentator tonight.
1...
2...
...NO!
As Bryan kicks out, Edge moves to a seated position and runs his hand through his hair, then pushes up to his feet and heads to the corner, dropping into the squat and urging Bryan to get on his feet! Breeze, meanwhile, puts his headset back on.
Tyler Breeze: (yawns) Is this match over yet?
Bryan gets back on his feet and, clearly dazed, turns right around as Edge surges forward looking for the spear. Bryan, however, somehow has the wherewithal to leap over and Edge crashes and burns as he goes shoulder-first into the steel ring post in the corner! Bryan, meanwhile, is a little too dazed to capitalize as he tries to regroup in a corner of his own, then turns around to find Edge just starting to recover from the impact his shoulder just suffered. Bryan, seeing the opportunity, moves in and kicks Edge hard in the shin. Edge's leg gives and he falls to one knee, and then Bryan launches into his signature kicks as the fans chant "YES!" for each one! Bryan unloads seven shoot kicks on Edge's chest before he winds up for the roundhouse to the head, but as he does Breeze once again ditches the headset and this time comes right up to the apron!
Tony Schiavone: And there goes Tyler Breeze to distract his Wrestlemania rival once again.
Bobby Heenan: The two are locked in one of the most bitter and intense wars in the sport... Breeze is just doing his job, getting into the head of his opponent and setting up the mental victory.
Bryan surges and slides under with a baseball slide that connects right to the gorgeous jaw of Breeze and Tyler falls hard to the canvas as the fans pop! But Edge, with the kick combo unfinished, actually gets to his feet as Bryan turns around into a brutal Spear! Edge hooks the leg.
1...
2...
...3!
DING DING DING!
Here is your winner,
E D G E!
Tony Schiavone: And after countless distractions from Tyler Breeze, Edge has put away the UWF Intercontinental Champion, Brain!
Bobby Heenan: But not before Daniel Bryan was able to mess up Prince Pretty's gorgeous face! You can bet Tyler is going to want revenge for that.
Indeed, after Edge celebrates his victory for a moment, the Rated R Superstar heads to the back and Prince Pretty, now recovered on the outside, spies his chance to get some revenge. Breeze rolls in under the bottom rope and begins to line up Bryan as Daniel pushes up to his vertical base. As Bryan turns around, Breeze unloads his Supermodel Kick but Bryan catches it and spins Breeze around! Unfortunately for the American Dragon, Breeze follows up by executing the Beauty Shot out of the spin and the fans hit him with a ton of heat as Tyler, now content with having thoroughly ruined Bryan's night, retrieves his phone and holds it in one hand, using its camera to survey his features and adjust his hair with the free one. He then makes sure to get Bryan in frame for a selfie as he smiles making it the last thing we see as the show fades out.
