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: Ladies and Gentle-
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Allow me Tony, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the dawn of a new era. An era that Roman Reigns isn't champion of!
Tony Schiavone: As you can tell Brain is a bit overly excited but yes, Wrestlemania has come and gone and we have ourselves multiple new champions including Kevin Steen.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: And he's going to tell it exactly like it is in our main segment tonight! I can't wait!
Tony Schiavone: Yes well we'll also her from the new Intercontinental Champion, Tyler Breeze.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Yes! It's like this night was made just for me.
Tony Schiavone: Well I know not everything you wanted to happen, happened because the Dudley Boyz are still our World Tag Team Champions.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Yeah that sucks but it's okay because the Young Bucks are going to destroy those Usos tonight and become the new number one contenders!
Tony Schiavone: That may be but we'll also hear from our new Money in the Bank holder, Seth Rollins and CM Punk after their big victory and of course we've got some great in ring action.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Oh but did we mention the best part? Roman Reigns has been ordered to take the night off!
Tony Schiavone:Yes all that and more tonight on Nitro!
The cameras go down to the ring when all of a sudden
Well....
Fans in the arena boo as the "sidekicks" of the current Money in the Bank holder Big Show, and Mark Henry come out. Show, and Henry are smiling ear to ear as they're happy there boss won a big time match which means more money in their pocket.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida and Silsbee, Texas , weighing in at a combined weight of 840 pounds, The Big Show and Mark Henry!
The smiles and confidence from both Big Show and Mark Henry only adds to fuel to the fire, in regards to the crowd's hatred of both of them. Pot bellies out and proud, The Sidekicks make their way to the steel staircase on their left, and in single file due to their large masses, walk up onto the ring apron. Big Show steps over the top rope on the left side, while Mark Henry steps through the middle rope on the right side. Then, both of them turn to face the entrance ramp to wait for their opponents.
The crowd starts to quiet down, but pops as soon as they hear...
Big E: AWWWWWWWW ! DON'T YOU DARE BE SOURRRRRRRRR! CLAP FOR YOUR FUTURE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AND FEEL THE POWAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
IT'S A NEW DAY YES IT IS!!!
The crowd decides to cheer at this point as Big E and Xavier Woods, accompanied by Kofi Kingston charge out onto the stage. All three members of the New Day begin to walk out to the stage skipping but holding signs saying "Big Show = Booty"," New Day Rocks" and "#Booty'.
Tony Chimel: "And... Introducing their opponents! From Ghana, West Africa, and Tampa, Florida! They are... The. New. DAAY!"
A select few members of the crowd decide to get up and half-ironically dance to The New Day's entrance theme. The camera briefly pans to them, but it doesn't take long before the charging, dancing trio are already at ringside. Likewise, they slide through the bottom rope, and begin to showboat on three out of the four ring posts.
Finished with their showboating, The New Day huddle into their corner at the left side of the ring, whilst the Big Show and Mark Henry stand on the right side. Mostly everyone clears the ring, and it becomes obvious both Big E and Mark Henry will start this match off.
DING DING DING
As you'd expect, Big E and Mark Henry both begin to circle each other, and it appears both of them have the same idea for a collarbone tie-up. Likewise, they lock together! It's a serious test of strength and technicality as Mark Henry and Big E begin to test each others' strength. In the background, The New Day are loudly and blatantly cheering on Big E, whilst Big Show claps for Mark to hang in there. Slowly, but surely, Mark Henry pushes Big E into the opposite corner with his superior strength. The ref attempts to dive between the two, trying to signal a break. Mark Henry is all over Big E, until Mark Henry breaks up the hold in the corner at a four count.
Bobby Heenan: "Oh my god. This is just going to be another big-man versus big-man match! I'm going to bed!"
Tony Schiavone: "Brain!"
Don't go to bed yet, Bobby! Suddenly, and like a head of steam, Big E lands a dynamite-fueled side elbow unto the forehead of Mark Henry, which sends Mark out of the corner, stumbling to the center of the ring. Big E follows up with another large elbow to the cranium of Mark Henry, which sends Henry reeling once again. But, that's not it, folks! Big E hits another elbow to the cranium of Mark Henry, which practically turns him into an upright, dead skeleton. Big E, once again, takes advantage and scoops Mark Henry up onto his shoulders for a scoop slam! The crowd are in awe as the four hundred-pounder is lifted onto Big E's massive shoulder, until he's slammed back down to the ground with righteous fortitude! The ring quakes from the impact, and it appears to have awaken Bobby Heenan.
Bobby Heenan: "Agh! What did I just miss?"
Tony Schiavone: "Big E just slammed the four-hundred pound, Mark Henry, Bobby! What the hell, is that kid made of in there?!"
No one seems to know, but as Mark Henry manages to scramble to his feet, Big E grabs Mark Henry by his mangy, unkept beard, and drags him into the corner to tag in Kofi Kingston! Big E holds Kofi Kingston in place, before Kofi leaps over the top rope, and performs a double axe-handle onto the upper-spine of Mark Henry. Mark won't go down so easily, but Kofi continues to eat away at Mark Henry's face with resonating elbows to cause some swelling from Big E's elbows from earlier.
Unfortunately, it doesn't have an immediate effect, as Mark Henry downright shoves Kofi to the canvas with supreme force! However, Kofi is resilient, and gets right back to his feet. He comes at Mark, but Mark shoves him to the ground once again with similar crippling force! Kofi's tired, but as he attempts to run at Mark again, Mark catches his cranium with his girthy hands, and sends a concussive headbutt to the head of Kofi Kingston! Convienently enough, Kofi carelessly stumbles away into Big Show's corner, where Mark Henry grapples Kofi into a headlock; Big show tags himself in, but it's obvious Mark wanted Big Show to tag himself in.
Tony Schiavone: "You see, look here, Brain. This is where Mark Henry and Big show are going to be at their strongest! They're best left wearing down the smallest man in the match, taking full advantage of their strength, size, and weight! It'll only be a matter of minutes, until Kofi will be a tumbling husk!"
Bobby Heenan: "I already figured that out, Tony. They don't call me the Brain for nothing."
Big Show and Mark Henry exchange the headlock with Kofi Kingston. Kofi's practically on his tip-toes, attempting to keep level with Big Show's height as he begins to raise his headlock higher, thus creating less balance for Kofi. In no shortage, Big Show sends Kofi head-over-heels with a stiff headlock takeover, plus the applied force from Big Show's larger mass! Big Show continues to work the neck-and-collarbone of Kofi Kingston, until Kofi's able to edge his legs over to the bottom rope to release the hold.
Tony Schiavone: "Alright, Rope break. We'll see where this goes."
Bobby Heenan: "Hopefully, somewhere."
Once again, the official attempts to squeeze his way through Kofi and the Big Show. He isn't too successful, but Xavier on the outside manages to grab Kofi's leg, as he then drags him to the outside. The Ref' doesn't see this, since he's trying to get Big Show to back up. However, Big Show isn't having none of the official's shit, and brutally shoves him to the canvas like an asshole.
Big Show then makes his his way to the rope closest to where Kofi and Xavier are located outside. Foolishly, Big Show leans through the middle rope to grab Kofi and throw him into the ring. To combat this, Kofi and Xavier have other plans, as they both suddenly leap up to the apron, and hook the neck of the Big Show. Like individual wrestling messiahs, Kofi and Xavier fall back, and drive the Big Show's big bald head straight to the padding below at ringside, in a double DDT through the middle rope to the outside! The move was fluid as fuck, and the crowd are estatic!
Tony Schiavone: "THE BIGGER THEY ARE, THE HARDER THEY FALL! DOUBLE DDT TO THE OUTSIDE! BIG SHOW IS OUT OF IT!"
Indeed, Big Show looks practically out-cold from the joint effort between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. Mark Henry's seen enough, and tries to get all tough guy before Big E manages to intercept him on the outside. They both get face-to-face with each other, before the Official gets back up from his 30-second coma and tells them to fuck off back to their corners. Previously, Kofi and Xavier had managed to slowly scoop up the Big Show's lifeless carcass, and had literally push him back into the ring; Kofi rushes in to make the first cover of the match.

KICKOUT!
Only a two-count, replies the official! Kofi isn't suprised, but as Kofi attempts to tag in his partner in his corner, Big Show comes alive, and grabs the leg of Kofi. As you could've predicted, Big Show then proceeds to toss Kofi across the ring, and closer to the center. Kofi is now back on his feet, but there isn't much Kofi can do, as Big Show trucks Kofi like an absolute freight train, which sends Kofi sprawling into the corner of Mark Henry.
At this point, things don't look too good for Kofi. However, unfortunately for Big Show, Kofi's pretty witty. Big Show attempts to squash Kofi in the corner with a running body splash. Kofi slides through the middle rope opposite to Mark Henry, Kofi connects with his signature Pendulum kick, which leaves Big Show standing, but seeing stars. Mark attempts to swat Kofi, but Kofi's too quick, as he leaps through the air on a back-turned Big Show for a massive springboard facebuster!"
Bobby Heenan: "He's annoying as hell. But, I've got to give it to him, Kofi's a smart guy. He still somehow manages to find a way to still work the bruised cranium of Big Show, while being trapped in a tight corner against a much larger tag team than he is. Impressive, I say."
Tony Schiavone: "But, it looks like the audience is starting to get behind Kofi!"
Indeed they are, as Xavier Woods and Big E rally up the crowd in attendance; Big E is flamboyantly clapping his hands, and Xavier is playing his heart out with his trombone. It doesn't take long before the audience is, as fired up as The New Day is. However, the audience reaches their climax, as Kofi performs a massive dive across the ring to tag in Big E! Big E explodes out of the corner, and into the ring. Subsequently, Big Show had tagged in Mark Henry.
Tony Schiavone: "Tag to Big E, and here he comes!"
Bobby Heenan: "Oh wow, that guy can haul ass."
Big E explodes, (Much like he did earlier), unto the four-hundred pound Mark Henry. Needless to say, he's unrelenting. Big E clotheslines Mark Henry three times in standard procedure, before irish whipping him into the corner. Next, Big E comes sprinting towards the ring for a running body splash into the corner. With righteous impact, Big E smacks the moisture right out of Mark Henry's beard from the sheer momentum of the body splash! Big E does this two more times with replicating destruction, before leading Mark Henry to the center of the ring for the second pinfall of the match.

KICKOUT!
From the expression on Big E's face, he seems slightly suprised that Mark took a two count after just three body splashes. But, it appears Mark was just playing possum to catch his breath. Whilst the official was repositioning, Mark disguised a push against Big E's face into an eye poke, which forced Big E off of Mark Henry. Big E is audibly groaning, before half-wittedly, he rises back to his feet to find Mark Henry had arisen before he had. Mark Henry grabs Big E's neck with both hands, and slams him to the canvas below for a double-handed chokebomb! Henry follows through with a cover!

SAVED BY KOFI!
Tony Schiavone: "Kofi with the save!"
Bobby Heenan: "Just a save? Did you miss the cutting-edge grace on that frog splash? Gotta' pay attention, Tony."
As per simple analysis, Kofi had sprung off the top rope for a picture-perfect frog splash, and unto the girthy back of Mark Henry! Mark Henry spurts an exclamation of pain, as a sharp pain had just hit his back. Mark wanders off of Big E, before Kofi begins to rain punches unto the jaw of Mark Henry. Big Show's had enough,and tosses Kofi aside like a ragdoll. But, whilst Big Show tries to bring Mark Henry to his feet, Kofi had sprung back with a Trouble-in-Paradise to the previously bruised cranium of The Big Show! Paul drops dead like a sack of patatoes, but Mark Henry is pissed as hell. He begins to shout more fury-inspired, deragatory slurs towards Kofi, before scooping Kofi up into a scoop slam, and afterwards, smashes his face with an anger fueled stomp for good measure. Kofi screams in agony, before flailing out of the ring.
Mark Henry laughs loud-and-proud like a mad villain, before turning around. Unfortunately for Mark, a near-fresh Big E had been waiting to lift him up for the Big Ending! Likewise, Big E scoops him up onto his shoulder in Oklahoma Slam-style fashion, before spreading his arms outward and dropping him on his head! Big E follows up with a cover...

DING DING DING!
YOUR WINNERS,
THE. NEW. DAAAY!
Big Show has a relatively disappointed look on his face, whilst he scoops up the body of Mark Henry, and drags him out of the ring. However, on a higher note, The New Day are dancing their asses off like they just won the lottery. A rocking New Day Rocks begins to take over the arena, in sequence with Xavier Woods' Trombone; Nitro rolls on...
The feed abruptly cuts as static comes onto the screens.
The crowd look around the arena, not knowing if something is wrong as I bet millions of people at home are banging their tv's. The confusion is interrupted by a fairly familiar man's voice, yet it seems no one can place the voice.
???: Wrestlemania, Wrestlemania, Wrestlemania, just saying the word gets everyone excited. Everything about Wrestlemania is what makes me want to be apart of this business, it's what the die hard fans wait for, it's what the wrestlers dream of when they are younger. Everyone wants their own Wrestlemania moment and every fan wants to celebrate that Wrestlemania moment with them.
Another voice now is heard as the fans are still trying to figure out where the voice is from.
???: It's what dreams are made of, sleeping away hours and dreaming of starting the Road To Wrestlemania with momentum and finishing off the Road on top of the world. It's funny that years from now, people will talk about the Dream Wrestlemania Moment. Could it be Kevin Steen finally reaching the top of the mountain after putting everything into it in the past month, could it be the dream of Bobby Lashlay standing tall with his friend Montel Vontavious Porter with the UWF World Heavyweight Championship held high above his head?
Now another voice begins to speak, this time it breaks the trend and it's a women speaking as it seems the crowd seems to be realizing who it is.
???: Let's not forget the double that Chris Jericho completed at Wrestlemania of winning the Royal Rumble and turning it into a Title belt. How about Tyler Breeze trading the gold locks in his hair for the gold of the Intercontinental Championship? I bet he will watch Wrestlemania over and over again.
Once again, someone new begins to speak as the crowd finally realize who is behind the voices.
???: The Animal beating 3 other men to become the European Champion was quite impressive, it made a few people in the backstage area sit up and take notice of him. Have you started to see a trend here? Every single Wrestlemania Moment we just named involved a the dream of someone new winning a Title belt, what makes it funny is the fact those superstars will remember that feeling for years to come, the moment their dreams were realized but what happens to the loser? Their dreams go up in smoke and get turned into a nightmare. The losers on the night have a moment to forget, you won't see any of them replaying the night, none will go out and buy the DVD, nightmares that became reality, the cast would even give Freddy Kreuger the creeps.
???: But at Wrestlemania, we had our very own Wrestlemania Moment, let's take a look at the Wrestlemania we are talking about.
The camera suddenly flashes to live and takes us back to Wrestlemania.
Devon comes out from the side though and double clotheslines both Bucks. He picks up Matt and DDT's him right on the mat. Devon stands up top see Nick running at him and he throws Nick over his head but Nick lands on the apron. Devon turns around but gets back kicked to create some separation before Nick lands a moonsault off the apron onto the standing Devon. Nick then tries to get his brother up on his feet and it takes awhile but he's finally up even though he seems out of it. They both try to pick up Devon but Devon powers out of it and hits a quick spinebuster on Matt! Nick gets angry but Devon uppercuts him in the face. Nick walks backwards but decides to come running back at Devon but Devon lifts him up for a flap jack and Bubba stands up from behind the table and Nick gets 3D'd through the announce table! Devon climbs on top of Nick as the ref starts to count.

Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, and STILL the Unified World Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz!
The Dudley Boyz celebrate in the ring as they are warded their championships and Stacy and Spike come out to join them as the camera fades to the next segment.

Tony Chimel: Here are your winners, and STILL the Unified World Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz!
The Dudley Boyz celebrate in the ring as they are warded their championships and Stacy and Spike come out to join them as the camera fades to the next segment.
The camera suddenly flashes back to life as it shows Bubba Ray and Devon sitting down looking down the camera.
Bubba: That was the Wrestlemania moment that was written in the stars for the little boys that grew up in the trailer park hailing from Dudleyville. We are both still buzzing from that night and what a night it was, we cant speak highly enough of Wrestlemania, hell you should be able to realize that for yourself as we have managed to mention it by name at least 15 times by now surely? I have no idea, I lost count after 5
Devon: But to be honest with you, The Dudley Boyz had our Wrestlemania moment but did we really need it? When we first arrived back in UWF, when we first returned on the Blue Brand known as Smackdown, we had one simply goal in mind and that was to become the UWF Tag Team Champions. We didn't think we set the bar high really, it's not like we were trying to be the face of the brand or anything, we just wanted to prove that we still had something in the tank and guess what happened? We beat Beer Money and became the 3 time Tag Champions inside UWF.
Bubba: That's pretty impressive if I don't say so myself, yet what could the Dudley Boyz surely want to do after we completed our mission of becoming the UWF Tag Champion? We only had one goal when we came back and we had just completed it.
Devon: You see, the good superstars will find new things to get themselves motivated and to put themselves into the mood but luckily enough for us, Eric Bischoff and 3 Minute Warning saved us the trouble of coming up with one ourselves and provided us with our new goal of winning our belts back from them once they defeated us to become the Unified Tag Champs but guess what, once again, we went out and did it even take us two weeks to complete that goal?
Bubba: Wanna hear a joke Devon?
Devon: Not rea......
Bubba: How many times did 3 Minute Warning successfully defend their titles? 0, the answer I am looking for is 0 as we beat their asses and took the titles back.
The camera now pans around as a noise was heard off camera as it shows the trusty sidekick, the Dutchess of Dudleyville, Stacy Keibler to the side of the boys looking down at the ground.
Stacy: A title win that was celebrated in Dudleyville, champagne bottles were popping, Mumma Dudley even put her best teeth in that night as it took my boys to the magic number of being 4 Times Tag Champions. We celebrated for days as once again, my boys ticked off another goal. The only reason we stopped celebrating is that we realized that once again, the Dudley Boyz were goal less. What could get my boys up the the level we needed them at and once again, Eric Bischoff and 3 Minute Warning stepped up to the plate and gave them the goal of trying to get rid of those pests.
The camera now pans over to the other side of the boys as Spike Dudley comes into sight, looking like only Spike can as he begins to speak.
Spike: And that is where we came in an the story kind of just went on from there really and if you can't figure out where this little bit is going, i'll give you a clue, once again, The Dudley Boyz kicked the Goal right into the corner of the net and we celebrated once again when Daniel Bryan fired them all. Look at my brothers, they shouldn't be able to do this, it is a sorry state of affairs that absolutely no one here has put a challenge forward to them.
Devon: Getting rid of 3 Minute Warning was our last accomplishment that we completed....... well until the bell rang at Wrestlemania.
Bubba: You see, my brother and I made a new goal that night Daniel Bryan got rid of 3 Minute Warning and that was to try and get the Tag Team Division thriving, the Tag Team Division is a massive part of this business whether you like it or not and UWF needs a great Tag Division and to be honest, my brother and I thought we had found it. Over the past few months, we have seen the rise of The Uso's, we have seen the debuts of the Young Bucks, we have seen the re-forming of C.U.N.T and even those two annoying pip squeaks, The Wet Bandits offers something to the Tag Division, we have the New Day arriving and the future looks bright and at Wrestlemania, it was our goal to put on a grand show and show everyone what the Tag Division was all about.
Devon: And what a show we put on, we put Tag Wrestling back on the map and I think people are coming back around to the idea of Tag Wrestling but we aren't kicking this goal just yet, no no, it wouldn't be right to kick it into touch just yet. The only way we could have done that at Wrestlemania is if it wasn't The Dudley Boyz who had the Wrestlemania Moment. The secret is, we didn't really want to walk out of Wrestlemania the winners and I know what you must be thinking, The Dudley Boyz are crazy for saying that but the fact of the matter is that The Dudley Boyz are finally ready to pass the torch, we want to bring everyone up to our level and we want that special team to surpass our level and look down on us.
Bubba: However, as much as we want to pass the torch's on, we aren't just going to give them over voluntarily, no, that just wouldn't be fair on all your fans and the Tag Team Division, no, we want the next generation to come and take it from us, come and get these Tag Team Title Belts.
Stacy: In this moment in time, that call is made towards the Uso's and The Young Bucks. We will be sitting here and watching your match, waiting to see who wins the right to face my boys tonight. We will be watching who can lift their games after the heartbreak at Wrestlemania.
Spike: We do suggest you keep a little in the tank for us though because winning a Number One Contendership is one thing but trying to take those belts and those torches from my brothers will be a whole other challenge in itself and boys, it's time you step up to the bat and look for a home run because my brothers are throwing everything from Curveballs to Fastballs and striking everyone out of the game.
Spike pretends to swing a baseball bat and looks behind him as he pretends to miss the pretend ball. All of the Foursome suddenly turn their attention back to the camera, look down the lens.
All Four: OH MY BROTHER'S TESTIFY!!!!!
The foursome looks quite intimating as the camera suddenly cuts and goes to another part of the arena.
As we come back to the ring, Bobby Roode is already standing there, ready to go.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, Bobby Roode!
Roode bounces up and down and waits for his opponent.
Bray Wyatt suddenly appears in the ring. Chimel raises his mic to announce him but Wyatt puts his hand over his mic and shakes his head and tells Chimel to leave which he does. The ref then calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Wyatt stands in the ring with his arms wide open, practically daring Roode to make a move. Roode does by kicking him in the gut and then repeatedly punching him, knocking him back into the ropes. He shoots Wyatt off the ropes and Bray reverse sending Roode instead. Roode comes back and hits a big boot in Wyatt's face that sends him reeling backwards and bouncing off the ropes. The momentum however allows him to quickly bend Roode backwards over Wyatt's knee and then plant him down with the Sister Abigail! Wyatt then slowly covers him.

Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Bray Wyatt!
Wyatt kneels over Roode, yelling out to the crowd to follow the buzzards as the camera goes black.

PWG presents Bowie! Buy it now!
---------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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. Seth Rollins walks out behind CM Punk as Punk then stands up as he has a microphone which he raises to speak.
CM Punk:
Bulletproof, who is the strong? Who is the one that walked away without a scratch on them? The internet, the dirt sheets... not one mention about Seth and I winning at WrestleMania. Not one. Do you people not realize that I went my way to try and make Joey Ryan relevant? It failed didn't it? Joey didn't show me an ounce of fight at WrestleMania. You people certainly didn't give a damn about my match. The question I ask... what happened to you people? I know I'm hated by so many, but there were selected in the audience who believed in me. Who paid interest in seeing Seth and I compete. We are former Champions for a reason, yet now... we ask ourselves, where do we go from here? We have proven time after time that we are worthy of breaking your hero's dreams. This place is a cancer and you know it folks, there can be only so many times where you pay attention but right now. Right here and now, you'll all pay attention and I'll be damned if nobody mentions or speaks about it after the show. What I'm about to do is something that none of you will ever forget. No, I'm not quitting... I'm simply not going anywhere. It angers me that I come back here but nobody seems to be speaking, I want the world to speak about CM Punk, I want the world to speak about Seth Rollins. We want to be heard, I'm not going to come out here and wrestle only to jump on Twitter and see nothing has been mentioned. All I hear is talk about how Roman Reigns lost, yeah... I beat the guy last week! It was a given. Yet you people rather speak about heroes that live to fight the day, but what happens when a hero dies? What happens when your beloved Joey Ryan chokes on the big stage? I mean he brings out Finn Balor... what was the point of that? To prove that you were "Bulletproof" or just a huge failure?
Seth Rollins is given the mic.
Seth Rollins:
There are people who fail and people who succeed in a business like this. Last year was deemed as a failure for me, I was lost. I got absolutely nowhere, but this year... I found something that ignited my career to be superior more than ever. Sure I've been Champion in the past, but I allowed that to slip away as fast as possible. I came into WrestleMania with a vengeance, I didn't care about Joey Ryan. I wanted him to give me a fight, a true competition. For a month he teased about this mystery partner, only to disappoint CM Punk and I. Why Joey? Why couldn't you deliver like Dolph Ziggler? Why didn't you bring much of a fight in you? I want answers Joey... we're not going to face you again because clearly that's a waste of our time. I know you've got a fight in you, but this "Bulletproof" stuff? I think CM Punk and I can take that name right off you. We have proven everything. We allowed Dolph Ziggler to elevate, but it is elevation we will no longer do for people. It is our time to take over this company, hijack it for what it is and make our names heard. This isn't a blinding matter, this is something we have to do. It doesn't matter who you are, the roster will be turned upside down. For the two years I've been here, I've seen it all... but now. It's our time, whether I go solo and capture the International Championship once again or whether CM Punk does it. We're not going to argue on who strives for such an opportunity, we're both deserving as it is. But it is our time to take over this brand, to be at the very top of the mountain like we were before. No longer are we going to be sitting ducks and helping talents elevate, we made you... remember that. Now Joey, I want you to come out here...
"Bulletproof" by Five Finger Death Punch hits the PA system, as the crowd responds with a huge pop; the camera pans around the arena showing the fans singing the lyrics to the song. Moments pass before Finn Balor & Joey Ryan steps through the curtains, donning BulletProof T-Shirts, both still feeling the sting from their Wrestlemania loss. Their music is faded out, as the crowd starts a BulletProof chant, showing their support. Joey Ryan nods as he seemingly pulls a microphone out of no where somewhere in his tights. He walks up the stage, as he lifts the mic to speak.
Thank you for that entrance, but we have some unfinished business with you two.
Joey Ryan points at CM Punk & Seth Rollins, the crowd boos
You think just because you won at Wrestlemania, that THIS is over? Nu-uh buddy-o that isn't how this works. It's over when WE say it's over. You see Punk & Rollins, I've told you before & hell I've told you week after week. It doesn't matter how much hot air you blow in that mic. It doesn't matter how much you scream or try to convince these people that you're the measuring stick around here when you're not; nor does it matter if you've beaten us one time, or a hundred times. We are BulletProof. We're indestructible, we're untouchable. You see Punkster, you forgot one very important thing in all of this. YOU CAN NOT KILL WHAT YOU DID NOT CREATE!
He looks at FInn Balor & chuckles, and then looks back down the ramp
Quite frankly CM Punk & Seth Rollins, my fellow BulletProof brethren & myself didn't come here to talk or trade verbal barbs with you. No, you see there was plenty of that leading up to Wrestlemania. Tonight, we came for one thing...& that's to FIGHT!
Joey Ryan drops the mic, as Finn Balor & Joey Ryan make their way towards the ring. CM Punk & Seth Rollins stand tall in the middle of the ring, motioning for them to bring it, as it looks like there'll be a Wrestlemania Rewind here tonight. Joey Ryan & Finn Balor slide into the ring, they come face to face with Punk & Rollins. All four men look ready to strike, when they smirk & turn & face the camera. All four men bring their arms up slowly, their hand shaped into a gun; signifying the unity of BulletProof. The crowd responds with a flood of boos, as the cat is finally out of the bag. Joey Ryan soaks the boos up, as CM Punk hands him the microphone to speak.
That's right let it all out, boo all you want. You Sheep bought it; hook, line & sinker. I mean I practically had you eating out the palm of my hand. The good guy Joey Ryan, trying to fight for everything that's right about this company. Pssh. Get real, this company is as crooked now as it was when it was first started. It's all a numbers game, it's all about the politics. It's like the saying goes. Same shit, different day.
CM Punk smiles as he then speaks as the crowd boo's heavily.
CM Punk:
All this time, I slithered on high grass. Awaiting to strike that is the venom I've inflicted into your skin. I got under your skin once again didn't I? WrestleMania was a work, we fooled the entire world when I won. Joey was always going to lose, this was part of our plan. Yet the world has shown they no longer care about "BulletProof", the world is more worried about other things happening in this company. This is why we did this, we worked the entire company behind their backs because now... what we're going to do is unthinkable, what we're going to do is going to have you all in shambles. Consider it a threat, take it how you want to... at the end of the day this company will pay for it's injustice. It will pay for doing something like this to us, it's an unfair treatment that we are here week in, week out only to be forgotten about. Whilst there are guys who barely show up, guys who are expected to come out here for a backstage interview or what-not and still get used on the card.
Seth Rollins:
You know, when I was a former Global Champion and International Champion. I watched guys get opportunities after opportunities and I felt like they were undeserving. I'm positive only one person is still around to this day. What purpose do you bring when you're not going to deliver? What purpose does the locker room have if they're not going to try? It's easy being on the roster here, but it's another thing being booked. It's another thing being pushed to the top of the mountain. We don't need management to give us that boost, we'll do it ourselves and "BulletProof" will be showing you from this moment onward that we don't require your assistance. It'll be us four as the unstoppable force of Nitro. Surely there's someone out there who wants to stop us before we begin, but it'll be too late... we're Bulletproof and everybody will have to look over their shoulders. Adios!
Teddy Hart's theme hits and the crowd starts to boo as Teddy makes his way down the ramp.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 195 pounds, Teddy Hart!
Some fans try to reach out to grab Teddy but he makes sure nobody touches him and even taunts some fans with physical violence. He makes his way into the ring and taunts the crowd as they boo until...
"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, Finlay!
Finlay enters the ring and raises his Shillelagh at Teddy, warning him of what's to come. Teddy shrugs him off and Finlay puts his weapon down in the corner as the ref calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Teddy rushes at Finlay with a dropkick but the Irishman side steps it and Teddy crashes into the turnbuckles. Finlay beats down on Teddy, hammering him with clubs to the back. He picks up Teddy and sends him off the ropes. Teddy comes back into a big shoulder tackle by Finlay. Teddy then rolls out of the ring to get breathing room as the fans boo.
Tony Schiavone: It appears Teddy might have taken the Irishman lightly.
Bobby Heenan: Can you blame him? Finlay went from defeating the undefeated evil mastermind Dalton Castle to falling off the face of the earth. Just when he builds steam, he falters again.
Finlay exits the ring to get to Teddy but Hart just slides back into the ring. Finlay gets on the apron to enter the ring but Teddy hits a dropkick that sends Finlay down to the mat. Finlay is quick to get on his feet but he doesn't see Teddy hit the ropes and jump over the top rope with a twisting corckscrew plancha! Teddy lands on his feet ans hows off for the crowd who boos him despite his impressive display. He grab Finlay and throws him back into the ring and goes for the first cover of the match.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Finlay kicks out! Teddy just laughs and slaps Finlay in the back of the head. He calmly stands up and washes the face of Finlay's with his boot, mocking him and calling him an old man. He picks up Finlay by his chin and slaps him in the face once again but Finlay gets angry. He tells Teddy to slap him again which he does and it only infuriates him further. Teddy goes for another slap but Finlay blocks it and clocks him right in the face. The force of the punch makes Teddy stumble backwards and Finlay follows up with multiple shoulder blocks into the corner
Teddy looks like the air has been taken right out of him but Finlay stands him up straight and gives him and slap of his own. He then picks him up onto his shoulders and walks to the middle of the ring to hit the Rolling Hills! Hart is down but Finlay hits a leg drop just to add more punishment before going for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Hart kicks out at 2! Finlay grabs him right away and locks in a chinlock. Teddy is trying to squirm his way free but Finlay keeps the hold on tight. Unsure of what to do, Teddy just puts his hands on Finlay's face and starts to press on his eyes. Finlay releases the hold and tries to clear his vision but Teddy hits him in the back of the head with an enziguri. Finlay is dazed but still on his feet. Hart runs up to him though and uses the corner to hit a Tornado DDT! Not yet satisfied, Teddy runs towards the ropes and springboards off with a moonsault into the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Finlay kicks out at 2!
Tony Schiavone: Finlay showing a lot of heart right now.
Bobby Heenan: There's only one Hart in the ring right now and he's about to make that old man's heart stop beating.
Teddy drags Finlay over to the corner and starts to climb up to the top rope. He taunts the crowd and tells them to watch this before he jumps off with a 450 Splash! Finlay however manages to move out of the way but luckily Teddy is able to land on his feet. He walks back to where Finlay is getting up but Finlay surprises him with a huge falling clothesline that makes Teddy backflip from the impact! Both men are down and the ref starts to count to 10.
Bobby Heenan: Last ditch effort by Finlay. As soon as Teddy gets up, this match is over.
Tony Schiavone: I wouldn't count Finlay out just yet Brain, after all he did beat a Hart last month.
Bobby Heenan: That doesn't count. Literally nobody cares about Owen.
Both men slowly get to their feet and Teddy throws the first punch at Finlay. The Irishman staggers a bit but he manages to keep his balance and throw a punch of his own. Teddy briefly goes down to a knee but stands right back up and delivers another punch. Finlay moves back slightly but grabs Teddy by the back of the head and brings him close for a European uppercut thats sends Teddy all the way back towards the ropes. Teddy this time runs towards Finlay but Finlay catches him and lifts him over his back, putting him in position for the Celtic Cross! Teddy manages to squirm himself all the way over and turn it into a sunset flip for the pinfall.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
But no! Finlay kicks out just in time! Both men get up right away but Teddy being the quicker of the two gets up first and takes advantage by spiking Finlay to the mat with a DDT! Teddy moves Finlay into position before heading to the top rope. Instead of showboating, he jumps off nearly as soon as he's up there and connects with the Hart Attack! The ref then drops down to count the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: Here is your winner, Teddy Hart!
Teddy celebrates in the ring while the ref checks on Finlay as the cameras head elsewhere.
We see Steve in the locker room bathroom washing his face, until the lights went out for a brief second, then about ten minutes later, we see this ominous figure of Steve's past controversial ego in his path.
Dead Prez: You lost at maina man... you lost terribly...ever since you dropped me like thin ice, you lost your EDGE here. Oh yeah, your taking him on tonight one on one I see?
Then Steve looks eye to eye with his past ego with disgust.
Blackman: How the hell did you know that?... wait, you shouldn't even be in the same locker room as me!
Dead Prez: Listen Steve, you need to don the face paint again and let all your inhibitions loose against Edge tonight. You should be able to say what you want to say to everyone and show how much you don't give a FUCK about how they feel. You need me more than I need you to cuss on live Television and get in trouble with management from afar, and be a motherfucking RUTHLESS man in the ring like I know you can be.
Steve shakes his head in disagreement, and speaks to him.
Blackman: Look Dead Prez, I don't want you in my life anymore; I don't want people to think i'm a bad man outside the ring. I've ENOUGH of your bullshit to deal with you. You are nothing more of a man who makes me sick to my very existence in this company, so I suggest you--
Blackman gets tossed to the lockers by Dead Prez and remained unresponsive for ten minutes. Then we see Dead Prez laugh wickedly as he disappear into thin air. Then in reality, we see Muri shaking him to wake him up.
Muri: Steve, get up, you have a match to deal with quickly! Why were you on the locker room doors in the first place?
Blackman gets up to his feet and looks at Muri with an intention to kiss her dead in the lips, but pull her close to hug her. Then he ends up leaving the locker room with his Kendo Stick in tow as Muri looked confused as the segment shifts away.
We come back from commercial, and we see the ring as it is now dress with a red carpet. Big Show, and Mark Henry in the ring
Tony Schiovane: Welp Bobby it is time for this event...
Bobby Heenan: Come on Tony cheer up this is a great event! We are getting to see a once in a lifetime great come out and celebrate another huge win in his career.
Tony Schiovane: I think only you, and maybe some of Mexico are excited for this Bobby.
Bobby Heenan: No everyone is excited for it Schiovane!
Fans boo as all of a sudden the theme from the newly crowned Mr. Money in the Bank Rey Mysterio comes out. Rey comes out, and he has the briefcase in his hand. Raising high in the sky. Rey is walking down the ramp, and the fans are booing as Rey is still holding the briefcase high in the sky. Rey enters the ring, and he hugs Big Show, and Mark Henry, and then place the briefcase on a table, and Rey Mysterio grabs a microphone, and he speaks
Rey Mysterio:Citizens of the UWF!
Fans boo like crazy as Rey Mysterio speaks
Rey Mysterio:It is I the former, and longest reigning International World Heavyweight Champion, a former UWF World Heavyweight Champion, and now your new Money in the Bank briefcase holder... your hero Rey Mysterio!
Fans boo at the statement.
Bobby Heenan: I love it Schiovane.
Tony Schiovane: Do you hear how disgusted this crowd is?
Rey Mysterio:Citizens finally you hero is once again in power here on this brand. After all the doubts, and all of the villains talking about how small I was. Saying that it was going to be too hard for me to climb the ladder. Well what do you villains have to say now? Because I did climb the ladder. I did grab the briefcase, and I did once again just gave myself a guaranteed shot at the International World Heavyweight Championship!
Fans boo as Rey lets them get there anger out, and then he begins talking
Rey Mysterio: None of you men did. None of you especially you Edge. Edge you tried so hard too make sure I couldn't win this briefcase... but guess what. You failed. You failed time after time. You should just give up at this point when it comes to you trying to better me. You never will, you are just a nuisance you remind of that silly little man Corey Graves. You all remembered Corey Graves right? Remember how obsessed he was with trying to make me down. What happened too him? Oh yeah he is gone. Thanks too me. So Edge you can try all you want, but at the end of the day you will never beat me. So give up if you want a long career here.
Bobby Heenan: You tell em' Rey Rey!
Tony Schiovane: Edge came close though if Rey didn't have on those football gloves that are sticky maybe he would have dropped off instead of grabbing the briefcase.
Bobby Heenan: Look at you Tony you sound like everyone else trying to diminish Rey's accomplishments.
Rey Mysterio:Though enough about losers, because no one cares about losers. You people care about winners like me. I am a winner. That is all I do, and that is why I am hero, because heroes are those who give you people hope. I always give you hope. Whenever you people feel down, or feel like there is nothing left to believe in. You can always believe in me. I have never let you down. I always tell nothing but the truth. I am the one who makes sure your children sleep soundly at night knowing that I can give you a product that is worth living in. That is what I do. I make you believe I make you realize that everything I do is heroic, and that is why when I finally cash in this Money in the Bank I will once again sit on the top of the mountain once again.
Fans boo as Rey continues to speak
Rey Mysterio:So now it is time for me to tell guys the future of my briefcase... When will I cash in that is right. I am telling you all now what I plan to do with this briefcase, and I Rey Mysterio have decided to cash it in....
Bobby Heenan: Here it is Tony! The moment of truth!
Rey Mysterio: I will cash it in... whenever the timing is right!
Fans boo like crazy and Rey laughs as Big Show, and Mark Henry smirk
Bobby Heenan: Brilliant Tony, just brilliant!
Tony Schiovane: He didn't give us an answer.
Rey Mysterio: A hero must keep his secrets... they must, otherwise we have nothing. You flaunt us out so much with movies, and action figures. That we get exposed to the public so that is why we must have secrets. So ladies and gentlemen enjoy my celebration. Cue the music, and let the confetti rain.
Rey points to the sky, and no confetti falls or the music isn't playing. Rey looks annoyed by this when all of a sudden
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME
Edge comes out as the fans are cheering loudly and crazy for him.
He sees his nemesis in the ring and continues to make his way down the ramp. Knowing he is interrupting what is supposed to be a special time for Rey he ignores it as he poses for the crowd.
He gets down from the corner and raises his mic.
Edge:
Oh my bad. Was I interrupting something? Don't worry I'm not going to hit you so tell your Thing One and Thing Two there to back off. I just want to say a few words and congratulate the new Mr. Money in the Bank winner. So congratulations... you won. You still suck but you won. You think you you have an understanding of me to the point you compare me to Corey Graves? Seriously? That would be like me comparing you to Gillberg. There is no comparison. I AM the man that ran UCW. I am the man that ran UWF. What has Corey Graves ever done? Nothing. Next to nothing, Middle of nothing, out in the middle nowhere doing nothing. Then he got bored and decided to go run some taco stand on the side street or something. But you, you're like Gillberg. All bark and no bite. You think that you earned that briefcase? That not only that but that you're going to be the one to run me off? Nobody runs Edge off. I arrive when I decide to arrive... kind of like right now. And I leave when I want to leave...which will be soon. I have some pie in the back and no I don't mean that pie. I mean the other pie. Well not that one, but that one. Just take my word for it.
Now as far as hero goes... really? The pint sized man here thinks he is a hero? The only thing he is is extremely lucky but he wouldn't dare admit to that. That is the big secret that he doesn't want to reveal. Because we all know that whenever he decides to cash it in he will fail. That you Rod... are nothing more than a failure as a hero. Because you have your two goons there that would bail on you as soon as someone offered them more money. So don't get too ahead of yourself there little man. You still have a long way to go. That is even to reach my status. So keep dreaming, keep speaking that you're the big bad dog when you're the tiny little rat dog yapping about nothing. So while it would be nice to have confetti fall, to have the big grand celebration... I decided that I would give you one instead. Folks in the back...
Edge starts to make his way towards the ropes and looks like he is about to exit.
Edge:
Cue my music.
Edge smirks as he turns around and sprints towards Rey and spears him with authority and immediately rolls out of the ring before Henry or Show can get a hand on him as he races around the ring towards the entrance ramp.
Edge:
I told you I'd give you a fall. Just didn't say what was falling. Congrats. You're about to fall.
Edge walks backwards up the ramp smiling as Rey holds onto his insides while Henry and Show check on him as the cameras head elsewhere.
Daniel Bryan: At WrestleMania V.....I lost. Now I could piss and moan and complain, tell the whole world that I was robbed and I should still be the Intercontinental Champion....But I don't make excuses. Shit happens and I let Tyler Breeze and his hangers-on throw me off my game. Simple as that. You win some....and you lose some. Breeze is a coward and a good for nothing piece of garbage but I'll give him credit for finding a way to win. I wouldn't be very proud of that victory, but that's what separates little boys like Breeze and real men like myself. But what's done is done and we can't go back and change it. I have to keep moving forward and that brings me to tonight.
Bryan rubs his beard a moment before continuing
Daniel Bryan: The main event of Nitro. Where I belong. Make no mistake about it, whenever I go out to that ring and perform, It's always the main event, but closing the show is a big responsibility. One that not just anyone can handle. But I've been kicking ass and taking names for over 4 years in the UWF and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. What that means for you, Rhyno.....Is that you can bring everything you've got and sit it all at the table.....and none of it will do you any good. I lost at WrestleMania but I'm not losing again. With my skills and abilities.....And with these people behind me, there is nothing the Yes Movement can't achieve. Becoming one of the longest reigning Intercontinental Champions of all time was pretty damn good. But tonight is the first step in our next conquest.......Because there's a certain new International Champion here on Nitro.....and you better believe I've got a bone to pick with him. So, Rhyno, nothing personal when I knock your teeth down your throat and beat you to within an inch of your life. You're my example. You are going to be my exhibit A in us getting what we want. Besides....Beasts don't compare to Dragons. .
The lights in the arena dim and a spotlight shines on the stage where the Uso's both appear to do their Siva Tau dance.
They finish up and their pyro hits as they make their way down the ramp.
Tony Chimel: The following contest is a number one contenders match for the World Tag Team Championship! Introducing first, from San Francisco, California, weighing in at a combined weight of 479 pounds, Jimmy and Jey, The Usos!
The Usos slide into the ring and go to opposite corners to pose as the fans cheer them on. Those cheers are soon drowned out by boos when...
The lights in the arena dim, while a lone synthesized string piece hums through the PA. Strobe lights accompany the breakbeat, and when the guitar riff hits, a stunning pyrotechnic explosion envelopes the stage. From the smoke emerges the UWF's finest tag team, The Young Bucks.
Tony Chimel: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 360 pounds, Matt and Nick Jackson, The Young Bucks!
Fan in attendance waste no time letting the Jackson brothers know exactly how much they detest them, but the Bucks brashly brush off the boos as the head down the ramp into the ring. Sliding into the squared circle, they forego any posing or showboating and instead walk right up the the Usos and the four men all jack jaws with one another. The ref gets between them and tells them to go to their respective corner before he calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
Nick and Jimmy both exit the ring, leaving Matt and Jey to start things off. Matt starts off by talking trash, telling Jey that they're a poor man's Young Bucks. Jey tries to shut him up right away with a super kick but Matt catches it and shakes his head, holding onto Uso's foot. Jey though connects with an enziguri to the head of Matt as he tumbles off to the side, slightly dazed. He's quickly back on his feet though and he rushes Jey with a clothesline but Jey ducks under it. Matt hits the ropes and comes back into a flapjack in the middle of the ring! The moemntum has Matt back on his knees, holding his chest in pain and that's when Jey superkicks his lights out! He goes for a quick pin attempt.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Matt kicks out at 2! Jey brings him back to his feet and throws him into his corner. He tags in his brother Jimmy and they walk Matt to the middle of the ropes and whip him off. Matt comes back into a double back elbow followed by two somersaults! Now Jimmy goes for the pin.
1 . . .
2 . .
But Nick has seen enough as he comes in and stomps on the back of the head of Jimmy's. He then goes back to his corner as the ref admonishes him. Jimmy picks up Matt but Matt hits a low blow while the ref is busy with Nick. Jimmy falls to the mat and Matt tags in Nick. Nick goes to the middle of the apron and springboards in with a splash while Matt hits a standing moonsault in tandem on the prone Jimmy Uso. Matt rolls out of the ring while the ref counts the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Jimmy kicks out!
Bobby Heenan: That's the kind fo teamwork that makes them the best tag team today!
Tony Schiavone: So the ability to cheat makes you a good tag team?
Bobby Heenan: It's not cheating if you don't get caught.
Tony Schiavone: Yes it is. Just because nobody sees you do something, that doesn't mean you didn't do it.
Bobby Heenan: I beg to differ, nobodies ever seen you be a good announcer and I can attest you are not one.
Nick pulls Jimmy to his feet by his hair and irish ships him into the corner. He then runs at him but Jimmy gets his feet up. Nick however catches his feet and shakes his head before just tossing him back and Jimmy falls back over the ropes and to the mat below. Jey gets off the apron and runs to his brother's aid. Meanwhile, Matt enters the ring and hits the ropes before running to where Jey is and front dropkicking him through the ropes! He then hangs on and skins the cat and opens his legs as Nick comes with a head of steam jumping over somersault and landing on Jimmy and Jey.
The Bucks celebrate in typical arrogant fashion as the crowd boo's although some cheers can be heard just for the sheer athleticism and fun that comes from the Young Bucks. Nick picks up Jimmy and throws him back into the ring before following him in. He tags Matt back in before picking up Jimmy onto his shoulders and dropping him down on one knee. He keeps him there as Matt runs towards him and hits a neckbreaker onto Nicks knee! He then follows up with a cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Jimmy kicks out again! He reaches out to his brother Jey who is now back on the apron but Matt drags him back to his corner. Matt then tags in Nick and he goes straight to the top rope. Nick sits on the top turnbuckle as Matt lifts up Jimmy for a powerbomb. He then runs towards where Nick is and powerbomb's him right onto his brother's knees! Jimmy crumbles to the mat below and Matt drags him into position ad Nick just stands right up and hits a 450 Splash! He stays on him for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
But no! Jey comes in and breaks up the count! Nick tells the ref to do his job while picking up Jimmy but Jimmy takes advantage by hitting a big uppercut to Nick. Nick stumbles backwards but runs back at Jimmy who pops him up in the air and slams him down with a samoan drop! The crowd cheers and Jey starts stomping on the steps as the crowd claps in unison as they rally Jimmy to make the tag. Jimmy is almost there but Nick grabs onto his foot, trying to drag him back. Jimmy though jumps forward and reaches out just enough to tag in Jey!
Jey comes in with a house of fire as he takes down Nick with a leaping shoulder block. He continues his momentum forward and takes Matt down off the apron with a forearm to the face. Nick gets back up but Jey kicks him in the stomach with a back kick before doing his little dance and then finishing it with an uppercut. The crowd is loving it but Brain isn't having any of it.
Bobby Heenan: This is ridiculous! Why would you start dancing in the middle of the match. Nobody should be allowed to do that unless your name is Fandango.
Tony Schiavone: This is the Uso's style Brain. They like to have just as much fun as the Young Bucks do.
Bobby Heenan: Absolutely nothing about the Young Bucks screams fun to me.
Nick retreats to the corner to help get to his feet but Jey is right on him. As soon as Nick turns around, Jey flies on top of him with a Stinger Splash! Nicks falls down in a seated position and Jey walks away before turning back just like his dad Rikishi used to do. He then walks to the opposite corner and gets the crowd involved like always.
Jey: OOOHH!
SOS!
Jey: OOOHH!
SOS!
Jey: OOOHH!
SOS!
Jey then runs towards the corner, looking for the running hip attack but Nick plops up and hits him with a superkick right to the face! Jey falls backwards and Nick quickly goes for the cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Jimmy breaks up the count! Jimmy then tries to help his brother get to his feet but doesn't notice Matt come into the ring. He runs towards Nick who lifts him up in the air for the aided double dropkick to the Usos! Both Usos roll out of the ring and regroup at ringside. The Bucks looks at one another before shrugging their shoulders and hitting the ropes to dive to the outside. They both go for suicide dives but The Usos side step and slide into the ring. The bucks land on their feet and turn around to see the Usos running at them with suicide dives. The bucks do the exact same thing as the Usos did and slide into the ring as the Usos miss their targets. The bucks try once again but this time stop right before they fly out of the ring while the Usos slide back in and hit the ropes. They don't notice the Bucks didn't jump out of the ring and get met with double super kicks as soon as they come off the ropes! Both Bucks go for cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
But the Usos kick out! The crowd is in an absolute frenzy, chanting "This is awesome!" as the Bucks look at each other, surprised that that didn't just get them the win right there. They kick Jimmy out of the ring and decide to concentrate on Jey. Matt picks up Jey onto his shoulder and tells Nick to go to the top rope as they get ready for More Bang For Your Buck. Jey though comes alive and elbows Matt in the face until he falls behind him. He then throws Matt into the corner and Nick falls, racking himself in the process.
Jey calls for his brother Jimmy who enters the ring and superkicks Matt who was stumbling around the ring after being thrown into the corner. Jimmy and Jey both climb to the top rope and grab onto Nick. They then fall back with a big double superplex! Jey then crawls over Nick while Jimmy stands by, making sure Matt doesn't break up the pin.
1 . . .
2 . . .
Nick is able to kick out at 2!
Bobby Heenan: Jimmy has been in the ring way too long! Those Usos should be disqualified already! This is cheating plain and simple!
Tony Schiavone: What happened to it's not cheating if they don't get caught?
Bobby Heenan: The ref can clearly see them! This is a screw job!
The Usos bring Nick to his feet but Matt is starting to get up. He grabs the ref's foot as he tries to get up. The ref looks at him and tells him to get off but Nick uses the distraction to hit a double low blow on the Usos! They crumble to thier knees and Nick quickly hops up and hits a superkick right to Jimmy that sends him out of the ring! Nick helps Matt get to his feet and tells him it's time to end the match. Matt walks over and struggles to pick up Jey but he finally gets him in the tombstone position. Nick is on the apron and he springboards inside with a front flip into the spike piledrive known as the Meltzer Driver! Nick then covers Jey as Matt prevents Jimmy from entering the ring.
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
Tony Chimel: AHere are your winners and the NEW number one contenders to the World Tag Team Championship, the Young Bucks!
Jimmy checks on Jey while the crowd boos the celebrating Young Bucks who act like they just won the titles. Just for fun, both Bucks double superkick Jimmy while he was checking on his brother and it elicits more boos from the crowd. They wave them off and continue to celebrate as the cameras head elsewhere.
Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario and weighing 241 pounds... EDGE!
The fans get on their feet and start to cheer in a big way as the man formerly known as the Rated R Superstar heads out from the back and jogs to the top of the ramp. Edge then raises both hands in the air making devil horns as a huge pyrotechnic display bursts from the stage behind him. He then heads down to the ring, sliding into it under the bottom rope before pushing to his feet and shuffling off his trench coat, catching a few whistling cat-calls from the women in the crowd. This makes him smile as he hands the coat over to an official and awaits the arrival of his opponent.
Tony Chimel: And introducing his opponent, from Annville, Pennsylvania and weighing 246 pounds... the Dead Prez... STEVE BLACKMAN!
As Blackman's theme rips into the arena air, the fans' cheering for Edge turns to brutal booing for him. The Lethal Weapon heads out from the back in a no-nonsense fashion and marches right down to the ring, a stone-faced expression worn. His eyes burn like coals as he stares down Edge on his way up the ring steps, and when he enters between the ropes he gets right up in Edge's face. The two shout back and forth before Blackman shoves Edge and the official inserts himself between both men to urge they wait for the bell. After a few quick pre-bout checks, the official signals for that bell.
-VERSUS- 
DING DING DING!
Edge comes on fast, looking to make a statement as he drops Steve Blackman with a quick running forearm. Blackman rolls back up on to his feet, but Edge charges him again and drops him with a shoulder block. This time as Blackman recovers, Edge ties him up and transitions quickly into a side headlock, wrenching on the hold and keeping Blackman locked in, which seems to be visibly frustrating the Lethal Weapon. As Blackman starts to hype himself up, he begins to put up a resistance and grabs Edge by the waist, perhaps looking to lift him overhead for some sort of slam. Edge, however, has it scouted and hip tosses Blackman to transition into a series of mounted punches that have the fans popping modestly for him.
Tony Schiavone: Edge is looking to make a statement here tonight.
Bobby Heenan: And so he should be. The guy was a runner-up to the Money in the Bank briefcase and has some impressive wins under his belt, like he pointed out this week. He's got to show management that they're doing him wrong.
Edge is taking out some frustrations on Blackman, who has his arms up but is still suffering some damage from the blows he is receiving. Finally, Edge decides enough is enough and pushes off of Blackman and back up to a vertical base. As he does, however, Blackman kicks his legs out from under him, causing him to tumble back to hit the canvas hard! Blackman then immediately throws his legs over Edge's chest and grabs his arm, locking in an armbar!
Bobby Heenan: And this is why they call Steve Blackman the Lethal Weapon.
Tony schiavone: I thought they were calling him Dead Prez now.
Bobby Heenan: That too, obviously.
Blackman wrenches the hold for several moments, but when it becomes clear Edge isn't going to give up he releases it and rolls over, then pushes up to one knee and finally a standing position. Edge also gets to one knee, but Blackman - intent not to let him stand - delivers a spinning heel kick directly to the side of Edge's head that drops him once again. Blackman then rolls Edge onto his side and soccer punts his spine several times before the Canadian is forced to roll out of the ring to take a breather and get away from the Dead Prez' savage assault.
Tony Schiavone: Edge very smartly separating himself from Blackman here.
Bobby Heenan: Very smartly is right. Dead Prez is a bit of a loose canon and if you let him get fired up, you'll quickly find yourself in trouble!
Blackman drops down and rolls out of the ring as Edge turns his back on the man, but Edge is playing possum and as Blackman gets close he finds himself on the receiving end of a back elbow to the jaw. Blackman is staggered as Edge turns around and kicks him in the stomach to double him over, then throws him back into the ring. Edge climbs up onto the apron and grabs the top rope before slingshotting over, looking to hit an elbow, but Blackman rolls out of the way! Edge hits the canvas elbow first and rolls over onto his back, clutching the limb where it made impact and gritting his teeth in a wince. Blackman, meanwhile, uses the ropes to get back to his feet and then heads back over to Edge, who he pulls to a vertical base and throws into the corner. Blackman then approaches and unloads a torrent of high kicks to Edge's chest before leading him out of the corner and dropping him with a Russian leg sweep.
Bobby Heenan: And now Steve Blackman's fighting spirit will get to shine.
The Dead Prez is quick back to his feet while Edge rolls over onto his side. Blackman spies this as another opportunity to punt Edge around, but as he winds up for the kick Edge rolls out of the ring again. This frustrates Blackman, who shouts at Edge to get his ass back in the squared circle. The Canadian waves it off as he runs his free hand through his hair and catches another breather on the outside, but when he turns back around to roll into the ring Blackman has no intent of allowing separation and is right there with some stomps to his side and back. Edge eats them and ends up leaning against the second rope, while Blackman grabs the top for leverage while driving some more hard kicks and knees to Edge's chest and face. Finally, the Canadian falls in a slump against Blackman who simply hauls him to his feet and then executes a belly-to-belly suplex!
Tony Schiavone: Steve Blackman is allowing no separation for Edge and it's hard to see how he'll be able to get back into this thing, Brain.
Bobby Heenan: Schiavone, if you know anything about Edge it's to never count him out. But yeah, it doesn't look good right now.
Heenan's wisdom proves wise as Blackman closes the gap on Edge intending to put him down again, but Edge bullrushes the Dead Prez and drives him back into a corner. Edge then executes a few shoulder thrusts before leading Blackman out of the corner and dropping him with a DDT! Edge hooks the leg for the first time in this match.
1...
...NO!
The fans boo as Blackman kicks out, but it's not much of a surprise and even Edge doesn't pretend it is one as he gets onto one knee and grabs Blackman by the hair, pulling him up at the same time as he gets to his own two feet. Edge then throws Blackman into the ropes and when Steve rebounds, the Canadian jumps up and drops him with a quick dropkick. Edge recovers quickly once again and works the crowd, who obligingly pop for him.
Tony Schiavone: Edge showing some love to the fans and it's reciprocated here tonight, Brain!
Bobby Heenan: Sure, but he has to keep his focus on the task at hand.
As Edge turns around, now it's Blackman's turn to bullrush him. Blackman, however, doesn't have as much luck as he comes looking with a dropkick of his own but Edge swats it aside. The Lethal Weapon is quick to spring up to his feet, but with his back turned and Edge capitalizes with a bulldog. Edge then hooks the leg for the second time in the match.
1...
...2...
...NO!
Blackman once more manages a kick-out and the fans start booing the Dead Prez as Edge rolls to one knee and brushes his hair back, visibly annoyed.
Tony Schiavone: Edge looks like he is getting pretty frustrated here tonight, Brain!
Schiavone is right, but the frustration only mounts when the soundsystem comes to life...
Tony Schiavone: Oh, what the heck is this?!?
Out from the back comes Rey Mysterio, flanked by the Big Show and Mark Henry, a chorus of boos cascading down from the cheap seats to wash over them. Rey still works the crowd as though he's the beloved fan favourite he once was, dodging buckets of popcorn and soft drink cups thrown his way all the while. As he comes back to the stage, Edge approaches the ropes nearest the stage and gestures for all three men to come down to the ring and get some.
Bobby Heenan: Edge is again allowing himself to get distracted here.
While Edge is calling his rival down to the ring, Blackman seizes the advantage and rolls him up from behind! As the ref drops down for the count Blackman uses the ropes for leverage, getting extra heat from tonight's capacity crowd.
Tony Schiavone: Oh my God! He's cheating!
Bobby Heenan: All's fair...
Rey, Show and Henry laugh and walk away as the ref counts the pin.

DING DING DING
Here is your winner, by pinfall,
STEVE BLACKMAN!
Blackman quickly exits the ring and Edge looks surprised. He gets up right away and walks over to the ropes facing the stage and tells Mysterio to get in the ring and fight him like a man. Mysterio tells him to turn around and Edge does only to get cracked in the face with a kendo stick! Black just hammers away over and over again. In the midst of the crowd's incredibly negative uproar against Blackman and Mysterio, Blackman motions for the ringside crew to hand him a microphone. They rapidly oblige, and hand him a microphone through the middle rope. Blackman paces back to the center of the ring, and begins to talk down to the corpse of Edge.
Steve Blackman: "Edge! You self-centered, sorry son-of-a-bitch! That match at 'Mania was mine to win - do you even hear me? But, you couldn't have left well enough alone. You just had to drop me on my neck, and ruin someone else's chances, rather than to just let it be. And now look what happened to you! Crippled! At the hands of The Dead Prez'!"
Steve Blackman then walks away from the body of Edge, and begins to talk down to the crowd. Subsequently, the crowd is booing the living shit out of him.
Steve Blackman: "But now! I've got a god damn hit list for those that costed me my International Championship opportunity! Rhino! You've got something I want... I NEED... that junkyard championship you've been holding over your shoulder! You haven't defended that thing once, and I want to show everyone just what a paper champion you are! Consider this a challenge, you big, greasy, Rhinoceros fuckhead!"
The crowd has a mixed reaction, since they're excited for a future match between Rhino and Blackman, but they're also booing Blackman. Suddenly, just as it looks like Blackman's music is about to play, Rhino appears on the titantron!
Rhino: "You think I'm a paper champion? You god damn, spineless, son of a bitch! I'll show you what a paper stomach you have, after I gore you through the abdomen like the weak, inept specimen that you are! And that's right, folks! I'm accepting your challenge, Blackman. But, since this is the Hardcore Championship, I wanna' add a little spice to the pot. So, here's my counter-offer: any match, any time, anywhere! It can be at McDonald's, The Grocery Store, or even Backstage! Just as long as you've got two arms, two legs, and a referee! So, whaddya' say, Blackman? ARE YOU READY TO PLAY THE DEVIL'S GAME!?"
Blackman responds rapidly, but is still oozing with cool in his decisiveness.
Blackman: "Don't worry about having two arms and two legs, Rhino. After all, that'll be your problem once I'm done with you! YOU'RE ON!
Tony Schiavone: "Christ Almighty! Rhino versus Dead Prez' Blackman! A Devil's Game! This Hydrogen Bomb could go off at any place, any time, anywhere, at all! Stay tuned, folks!
The crowd pops like a mad mob! Rhino and Blackman stare each other down from Titantron-to-ring. Until, Nitro decides to head elsewhere...
The feed cuts backstage, as you can hear a thumping sound of bass playing as the camera is walking towards the commotion, as a section of the backstage area seems to have been set up for a big party of some kind. As the camera approaches the cameraman is suddenly stopped by Bliss before getting too close.
Alexa Bliss: Excuse you, but where do you think you're going?
Well we just wanted to take a look at the celebration.
Alexa Bliss: Um yeah you're not on the list, this party is exclusive. So go on now, shoo.
Tyler Breeze: Alexa, Alexa, Alexa. Haven't I told you? People are on and not on the List, but those aren't people. They are cameras with uggos attached to the eye pieces, they can come in. I mean after all pyro, the dance show, and Summer Collection reveal I think everyone here wishes they had recorded evidence of the Tyler Breeze Intercontinental Championship Celebration. And with what we have planned next, I think the whole world needs to see it don't you?
Alexa Bliss: All right come in, I need to make the announcement.
Bliss walks over to Tyrus and snaps her fingers and he reaches down and picks her up sitting her on his shoulder so she's elevated up as she raises her voice up for everyone to hear.
Alexa Bliss: Listen up everyone! All eyes on me, we're here to celebrate the crowning of a new champion, the dawning of a new era, the New Intercontinental Champion Tyler Breeze. And in a sneak peak of what is to come, with our new Great Champion ready to bring about a great change in landscape to this ugly scene we've been forced to be apart of. Tonight he is going give us all the honor of a special Live Performance of his three time MTV Euro Award winning song, so put your hands together for your Intercontinental Champion...Tyler Breeze!
The faceless audience begin to applaud as the cameras point towards Breeze who seems to have recording studio mic set up as he puts his headphones on.
Tyler Breeze: Yeah Yeah, shut up now, you're going to ruin the song. Ahem...The following is written, produced, and performed by Tyler Breeze for all of you Uggos.
Breeze is getting ready to sing as the room goes quiet, but he attention is grabbed by someone coming into the room that is most definitely not on the list.
Dolph Ziggler: Oh, hi, Tyler.
The unseen audience collectively murmur at the sudden disruption as Dolph Ziggler approaches the Intercontinental Champion with a grin on his face.
Dolph Ziggler: Quite the little party you've put together here. You even managed to find... what... 12 people who actually like you? Kudos, man, that title is really elevating you in the world.
Ziggler looks back in Tyler's direction and he catches Tyrus moving in on him out of the corner of his eye. He lifts a finger of warning.
Dolph Ziggler: Don't even try it, beautiful. Because will Breezy over here might be fragile, I'm not planning on fighting him. Not here, not now... not tonight. And I'm not going to do anything to Easy over there, either.
Dolph nods to Alexa with a little "Suh?" before looking back at Tyler.
Dolph Ziggler: So why don't you just trot your Beautiful ass back over to where it was, and let me speak my piece. Which is this: Tyler, I've about had enough of sitting on my hands waiting for management to realize that I'm the hardest-working man on Nitro. I'm sick of trivial feuds and mid-card matches with guys who are half as talented as I am. That's why I'm going to issue you a formal challenge. Right here, right now...
Dolph points to the Intercontinental title.
Dolph Ziggler: You. Me. The Intercontinental Championship. I don't care what the stipulations are. I don't care what venue it is or what night it's on. I want a shot, and you're going to give it to me.
Alexa Bliss then steps up to Dolph.
Alexa Bliss:Who the hell do you think you are? Tyler has yet to be pinned or submitted and yet you think you can do that? What makes you think you deserve a shot? So you've beaten a few losers here and there. Do you know who Tyler's beaten? Everyone, you included. So I'll tell you what, maybe you'll get yourself a title match if you impress us. Or maybe you'll stay stuck in your trivial feuds for as long as Tyler's Intercontinental Champion and trust me, it's going to be a Long time. Security.
Alexa snaps her fingers and security comes to escort Dolph out. Ziggler breaks free from them and tells them he'll leave on his own will which he does as Tyler and Aleza look on with disgust and the cameras head elsewhere.
10....9....8....7....6....5....4....3....2....1....
The fans explode as "The Final Countdown" by Europe begins playing over the loudspeakers. After the countdown, Daniel Bryan emerges, pointing towards the sky and leading the crowd in screaming "YES!"
Tony Chimel: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Aberdeen Washington, weighing in at 200 pounds, Daniel Bryan!
Bryan goes down the ramp, continuing on with his YES chant until he enters the ring. From there, he goes right back to it until he is finally cut off.
"Gore!"
"Gore!"
"GORE!"
Piercing through the audible veil of the post-Wrestlemania crowd in attendance, thus calls for chants for The Gore! The audience plays along with the chants, as they too sing along with the threesomous chants. As usual, these calls are followed by the sound of an absolutely primal Rhinoceros charging forward. But, dont leave yet! Tusk, by Jim Johnston, hits the speakers, and it makes the crowd absolutely pop for Rhino.
Tony Chimel: And his opponent, from Atlanta Georgia, weighing in at 263 pounds, he is the Hardcore Champion, Rhino!
Rhino appears at the top of the entrance ramp,with the Hardcore championship draped around over his shoulder, no less. His pace is slow before exchanging a few casual glances to the crowd, left and right. His gaze narrows down the ramp, and then suddenly, Rhino jolts to life with his signature taunt, otherwise throwing his hands in the air. Full of energy, Rhino gases it down the entrance ramp, and slides through the bottom rope with dextrous precision. Bryan and Rhino size each other up until the ref calls for the bell.
DING DING DING
The bell rings and Rhino and Daniel Bryan both stare at one another as they slowly make their way towards the center of the ring. Daniel Bryan has the look of confidence he brings with him in every match while the fire and intensity in Rhino's can be seen even from the cheap seats. They lock up but Rhino has an obvious power advantage and he just shoves Bryan back but Bryan rolls through and gets right back to his feet. He gets a running start to lock back up with Rhino and even manages to moves him back a few steps but Rhino once again throws him back and Bryan rolls through to the corner. Rhino follows up by charging at him but Bryan moves out of the way, causing the Man Beast to eat nothing but turnbuckles. Rhino turns around into a drop toe hold and then Bryan immediately locks in a side headlock.
Tony Schiavone: Rhino may have the power advantage in this match but Bryan has been at the top of UWF for years. His technical prowess should really help him out against someone like Rhino.
Bobby Heenan: Sure you can know all the moves in the world but a good punch to the nose will have him staggered and then Rhino can easily finish him off.
Rhino easily gets back to his feet and lifts up Bryan for a back suplex but Bryan flips over behind him. Rhino turns around and get met with a kick to the knee. Rhino winces in pain but just shakes it off. He goes to lock back up with Bryan but Daniel ducks under and goes behind him with a waist lock. He pushes him towards the ropes and tries for a roll up but Rhino hooks his arms under the ropes to block it as Bryan rolls backwards. Bryan is back on his feet but he gets his head nearly taken off when Rhino decks him with a huge clothesline that turns him inside out!
Rhino has a sadistic smile on his face as he lifts up Bryan to his feet. The former Intercontinental Champion starts to kick at his leg however to gain some separation and it works. Rhino tries to walk it off but Bryan comes running back at him. Unfortunately for Bryan, Rhino catches him and wraps his arms around his body and then slams hims down with the belly to belly suplex! He then goes for the first cover of the match
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Bryan kicks out! Rhino just smiles, knowing he gets to inflict more pain on UWF's longest active tenured wrestler. He brings Bryan to his feet and throws him to the ropes. Bryan however hangs on and stops himself from rebounding. Rhino runs at him but Bryan lowers the top rope and the War Machine goes tumbling over to the floor below. The crowd starts to cheer as Bryan looks back at Rhino who is getting back up to his feet. The Absolute Best runs towards the ropes to build some momentum before coming back and taking out Rhino with a suicide dive!
Tony Schiavone: Classic Daniel Bryan! It's helping get the crowd on it's feet which in return wills Daniel Bryan.
Bobby Heenan: Wow did you figure that out all by yourself? Make no mistakes about it, Daniel Bryan is maybe the smartest wrestler going right now but all it takes is one slip up and Rhino can easily take this.
Brain may be right as Bryan slaps hands with a fan at ringside. He grabs Rhino but the Hardcore Champion rams Bryan back first into the apron! Not yet finished, he grabs Bryan by the head and throws him shoulder first into the steel steps! The referee admonishes Rhino after he counts to 6 but Rhino just waves him off and grabs Bryan and throws him back into the ring. Rhino then slides in after him and goes for another cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
And Daniel Bryan kicks out again! Rhino just smirks and picks up Daniel Bryan onto his shoulders. Bryan starts to elbow Rhino in the side of the face until he falls behind him. Rhino turns around and Bryan hit a high kick to the side of the head. Rhino however just shakes it off and stares at Daniel Bryan as the crowd goes nuts. Rhino then takes a swing but Bryan jumps up and catches his arm between his legs and tosses him over for an armbar! Rhino holds his hands together but Bryan uses his legs to kick at Rhino's hands and break free his grip to get full extension.
Tony Schiavone: This could be it! If Rhino doesn't tap out, Bryan could break his arm!
Bobby Heenan: I hate to agree with you Tony, but as the Hardcore Champion, Rhino needs to always be at 100%. Especially with that nutcase Steve Blackman challenging him earlier tonight.
Rhino is in a lot of pain but he rolls over and gets back to his feet as Bryan hangs onto his arm. Rhino is able to grip his hands back together and uses his power to lift Bryan off the mat and slam him back down with a powerbomb! Rhino is finally free and he grabs at his arm, making sure he still has use of it. DB lays on the mat and uses the brief break in action to recover after the onslaught of power moves done by Rhino so far.
The War Machine gets up to his feet first, holding onto his arm. He walks over to where Bryan is using the ropes to get up but Bryan hits him with a big forearm to the face. Rhino gets stunned a bit and Bryan continues on his attack, pushing him all the way back into a corner. He then tries to irish whip Rhino into the other corner but Rhino reverses it and follows him. Bryan runs up the turnbuckles and black flips behind Rhino. He hits the ropes and Rhino comes out of the corner to get taken down with a falling clothesline. Rhino gets up right away and get hit with another. Rhino gets back up again and walks into the waiting arms of Daniel Bryan who throws him back with a beautiful bridging northern lights suplex into a cover.
1 . . .
2 . . .
But Rhino kicks out! Daniel Bryan's second wind appears to have faded away as he slowly sits up, breathing heavily. He and Rhino are both slow to get up but as soon as they both get on their feet, they start trading blows. Rhino punches Bryan in the face, and Bryan retaliates with a kick to the chest. Rhino takes another hard swing and then puffs out his chest, asking Bryan to kick him again which he no doubt does. Bryan then asks for another punch to the face and two just keep going.
Tony Schiavone: This is unreal. Neither man wants to back down!
Bobby Heenan: I am loving this! I could watch this all night!
Unfortunately for Brain and the rest of the audience, suddenly the lights go out! The crowd is in suspense, thinking maybe the Wyatt's have something to do with this. The lights turn back on and four men are standing in the ring with Bryan and Rhino. It isn't the Wyatt Family, but none other than Bulletproof! Punk and Rollins start to attack Rhino while Ryan and Balor take down Bryan. The ref immediately calls for the bell.
Tony Chimel: This match has been ruled a No Contest!
Rhino gets thrown to the floor and Joey Ryan hits the ref with That 70s Kick! The four men then start to beat down on Daniel Bryan who is all alone after ditching his entourage last month. Balor holds Bryan on his knees and Rollins runs up and hits the curbstomp on the prone Bryan. The four men all laugh but the crowd explodes into cheers when Rhino gets back into the ring. Joey turns around and eats a big Gore! Rollins and Punk run after Rhino but the Man Beast takes him down with double clotheslines! Balor and Rhino then start to brawl but the crowd starts to boo when Steve Blackman comes running down the ramp with a kendo stick in hand. He then wacks Rhino in the back of the head and he crumbles to the mat. Balor just stares at Blackman who goes to town on the downed Rhino, hitting him over and over again with the kendo stick.
Tony Schiavone: This is uncalled for, someone needs to stop Steve Blackman!
Bobby Heenan: I don't think that's Steve Blackman anymore.
Blackman stops and looks over to the time keeper's area. He exits the ring and takes the Hardcore Championship away from them and grabs a mic. He walks back into the ring and picks up Rhino's head off the mat and speak into the mic.
Blackman: Anytime, any place right?
Blackman then shoves Rhino's face back into the mat and smiles as he heads back up the ramp with the Hardcore title. Meanwhile Punk and Rollins are back up and they help pick Joey Ryan up. They look to Blackman who looks back at them. The scene fades out with Bulletproof in the ring, standing over the bodies of Rhino and Daniel Bryan.

The crowd starts to boo as the General Manager of Nitro walks out from the back with Spud in tow. The two make their way down to the ring and Spud opens the ropes for Ethan. Once inside the ring, Ethan raises the mic to speak.
Ethan: Just like Nitro's newest signees, today is a new day! The dawning of a near perfect Nitro. I shipped The Rock off to RAW, The Usos are out of the tag team title picture and of course Roman Reigns is no longer the International Champion.
The crowd boos loudly as Ethan gets a big smile on his face.
Ethan: Roman Reigns and to a lesser extent, Daniel Bryan were the last things I needed to take care of in order to wipe the stain that was Vince Russo off of Nitro. Now Nitro is free to move onwards and upwards. It's now a place where months of hard work and dedication gets you title matches, not some lucky battle royal. The only people who have a problem with this are the ones who are used to being handed opportunity after opportunity. Or those who sleepwalk through matches just to get a paycheck.
I'm the general Manager of Nitro and Spud here handles everything I'm too busy to take care of. I've been informed of every little comment made about "management" and guess who makes them? I'll give you a hint, it's not any of Nitro's champions. It's not any of the guys who fight hard, make an effort to get more tv time or you know, actually speak with me directly.
Kevin Steen is champion for a reason. I'm actually not particularly fond of him, especially after the war we had on Smackdown but he is the hardest working man on Nitro and that's bound to get you ahead in life. It also helps that he's a pretty good wrestler. So without further ado, I give to you the new International Champion, Kevin Steen!
"Godzilla" blasts through the arena, instantly triggering a massively negative reaction from the capacity crowd. The Nitro fans jump to their feet to boo and jeer as the newly crowned UWF International Champion, Kevin Steen, walks out on to the stage.
"Mr. Wrestling" doesn't waste anytime posing or stalling as he makes his way down towards the squared circle. The hate from the UWF Universe is countering the volume of his song, but he doesn't seem bothered by it at all. Climbing into the ring, he calls for a microphone and is quickly handed one. Kevin slowly raises his title belt in the air, garnering even more spite from the people. The music fades, and once the fans finally settle down, Steen begins.
Steen: This... this is what's right. This is what's best. This is justice. This is retribution. This is is the result of a tireless struggle and incredible patience finally paying off when it mattered most. This is the cornerstone of a new era in professional wrestling. This is the first chapter in the better story. This is the first step down the new path. This is the headstone over Roman Reigns' grave. This is real - the most real thing there is. This is proof that I am everything I ever said I was. This is solid. Concrete. Unshakable. "And on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".
That's from the Bible. I'm not really a Jesus-guy, but the magnitude... gravitas fits the moment, doesn't it? It's a special occasion. I won't call it destiny. I won't say it was prophetic. But god damn it - can't say I didn't tell you so. And you all just sit there, your non-contributing assess planted firmly in those seats, where you're so content to play the peanut gallery, judging and hating me for the work that needed to be done. I never stopped. I never gave up. I did what was best for Nitro, what was best for the sport and ultimately what's best for all of you. I know you don't see it yet, but why should I care? It's finished. I succeeded. And I have this championship belt to prove it.
The Nitro audience boos again while Steen admires his International Championship.
Ya know, nobody ever pinned me to take my last title. The one I lost before that was after being blindsided and Money-in-the-Bank'd by a man I would have destroyed under ordinary circumstances. By all rights, I should be in my fourteenth month as world champion. But there are always distractions. Obstacles. People find away to creep and crawl around the rules to cheat the system and manipulate the game. While I work to earn everything I want, lesser men take shortcuts and sabotage everything this sport should stand for.
Never again.
Never again will I allow the most important title in professional wrestling to be tarnished by that bullshit. Never again will I let myself be a victim of the tactics and schemes of the people who aren't good enough to take what they want - the people trying to stand on the shoulders of giants like me.
I'm building a new era. If we're truly going to make Nitro everything it can be, I'm going to need help. Not your help... no... you can all just sit there and boo and witness. I'm enlisting the elite only. So allow me to introduce my new team. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the future UWF Unified World Tag Team Champions...
The lights in the arena dim, while a lone synthesized string piece hums through the PA. Strobe lights accompany the breakbeat, and when the guitar riff hits, a stunning pyrotechnic explosion envelopes the stage. From the smoke emerges the UWF's finest tag team, The Young Bucks.
Fan in attendance waste no time letting the Jackson brothers know exactly how much they detest them, but the Bucks brashly brush off the boos as the head down the ramp, sliding into the ring. They shake hands with Steen before climbing the turnbuckles to pose for a moment before joining "Mr. Wrestling" in the center of the ring.
For those of you who still don't know, these two are the greatest tag team in the world today. Their accomplishment in organizations around the world are unmatched. They continue to exceed expectations and reinvent themselves. They are masters of the superkick. These are exactly the kind of wrestlers the future belongs to, and it's only a matter of time before they are champions.
The Young Bucks and I are going to make sure Nitro lives up to its potential, and that the UWF International Championship stays exactly where it belongs. But there's one more member to our team here... a man whose knowledge of the inner-workings of the industry is unmatched. There isn't a damn thing the three of us can't do in this ring, but we need a man who is equally talented behind the scenes. And here he is...
"Larger than Life" hits the PA, welcoming the Pope himself, Dave Meltzer! The genius behind the Wrestling Observer Newsletter walks out on the ramp, grinning and waving at the people who are not responding in kind. Metlzer climbs the steps and through the ropes, embracing Steen and the Bucks before the former continues.
This... this is a unit. The biggest changes in the history of this sport has almost always been a result of teamwork. The Horsemen, The NWO, The Cartel... all of them changed pro wrestling forever. Just wait to see what we're going to do.
Wrestlemania was only the beginning. That's where I proved to each and everyone of you, and to all the guys backstage that I am on another level. I told you that Roman Reigns was a paper champion, that he didn't belong in the same breath as me. His family tree got him his spotlight, not any talent. His bloodline is weak. Now you it's true. I wouldn't lie to. I'm good enough that I'll never have to. When I tell you a guy sucks, you can take my word for it. And now I'm here and we'll never have to hear from that overrated jackass again. Nitro is ours now. The Young Bucks, Dave Meltzer, and me, "Mr. Wrestling".... we've taken over. So buckle up because it's time -
Steen is interrupted when a thud is heard throughout the arena. The fans are excited as the camera is searching for Reigns at the top of the stairs where he usually comes out. A few moments have passed, but the crowd then erupts as Reigns walks on out from the entrance way
Reigns walks very slowly as does not take his eyes off of Steen. To the shock of the crowd, Reigns makes his way to the ring instead down the steps
Reigns walks around the ring a few times and continuously stalks the champion before he slowly steps in the ring. EC3 then steps in front of Steen to make sure Reigns does not attack the champion. Reigns then rips the microphone right out of EC3 hands. EC3 says a few words to Reigns whom cuts him off
Roman Reigns: You need to shut your mouth!
The Roman Empire shows support for their guys
Roman Reigns: You have done enough since you got here. All you done since you showed up is made sure that I wasn't champion. You did everything you could to make sure of that and even went as far as placing the strap on your hand picked brown-noser. And don't tell me otherwise because I know how this all works. So what you need to do, is shut your mouth and move out of my way because I want to address the paper champ. And if you don't, I'm putting my fist into your jaw. That you can believe son.
The fans are really into this more fierce Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns: Hey champ, how's my title. Don't worry, that wasn't a question for you to answer. But hey, you won, EC3 got his wish and the title is no longer with me, I bet you're both proud of that. Just know, you threw it all at me and it damn near killed me, but I kept on fighting until there was nothing left. I kicked out at everything you threw at me, but even then, champions know when to fight another day. So what I want is for you to just keep it warm until I am ready to take that back.
The Roman Empire cheers as they know what is coming next
Roman Reigns: I have my rematch clause that states, I am entitled to a rematch. So Steen looks like ya ain't done with me yet, son. And you know what, I think I'm ready to take my title back, right here and RIGHT NOW!
The Roman Empire begin to rock the arena as they want the match now but EC3 quickly steps in Kevin hands him his mic like a gentlemen.
Ethan: Actually, the thing about that is, I had Spud remove all instances of guaranteed rematch clauses when we took over Nitro. It's why Vampiro and Daniel Bryan never got their rematches and as far as I'm concerned, Kevin has already proven that he's way better than you. Cry all you want but everybody knows it's true. I'm not going to let you whine yourself into another world title shot whe-
Steen then taps Ethan on the shoulder and tells him it's okay and asks for his mic back.
Steen: I know you have final say around here Ethan but if Reigns wants to lose to me again then by all means, I say let him. I'm not afraid of this poor excuse for a former champion and I'll tell ya what, he can even pick any match stipulation he wants.
The crowd erupts into cheers as Steen wants another go with the former champion.
Ethan: Well I actually had other plans for the International Championship but screw it, why not. At Vengeance, we're going to have ourselves a rematch, Roman Reigns vs Kevin Steen for the International Championship! And next week Roman, you get to pick the match type. Anything else you have to say?
Roman just shakes his head and smiles. He goes to exit the ring as Ethan and Steen laugh about what just happened but Roman turns around and charges at Ethan with a Spear! Spud however sees it coming and sacrifices himself and it nearly tears him in half. Kevin, Ethan and the Young Bucks bail out of the ring as does Meltzer. Roman stares them down as they head up the ramp. Spud tries to get up but Roman turns around and gets ready for another Spear. Spud finally gets up and the second Spear turns him inside out! Ethan doesn't have any sort of look of concern for his assistant and Roman just pushed further. He exits the ring and takes off the announce table cover. He pulls Spud out of the ring and powerbombs him through the announce table! The crowd is loving it as Roman goes back into the ring and tells the guys on the stage to bring it. It's the last image we see as the cameras fade out.
