Live from: Dallas, Texas!
Singles Match
Daniel Bryan vs. Seth Rollins
The camera pans to the back where we find Adrian Neville frantically walking through the locker room.
.:Adrian Neville:.
Finn! Finn you back here?! Hey hey Dean!
Dean turns around at the sound of his name. Dean drops his bags as he turns to Neville
.:Dean Ambrose:.
Yo, what you need?
.:Adrian Neville:.
Hey man have you seen or heard from Finn? I haven't seen or talked to him for like three weeks. And we gotta defend these titles tonight.
.:Dean Ambrose:.
Nah man. Last time I saw Finn he was fighting Seth and that was weeks ago. I'd help ya man but I gotta prepare for my match with Del Rio. Good luck tonight man.
Dean walks off and Neville continues his search.
.:Adrian Neville:.
Hey! Hey! Hey Nakamura, you seen Finn anywhere back here?
Shinsuke Nakamura stares at Neville but doesn't answer. Neville stands there, waiting for an answer for a good thirty seconds.
.:Adrian Neville:.
I said have you seen Finn?
Once again Nakamura just stares before walking away.
.:Adrian Neville:.
Man that guy is weird. *Neville pulls out his cell phone and calls Finn but no one answers* Damn it Finn!
Adrian Neville kicks a wall in anger before walking off.
Falls Count Anywhere Match
JBL vs AJ Styles
*The Miz makes his way down to the ring and takes a seat on the right*
The Miz: Welcome everybody to Miz TV! The most must see talk show in all of SOOL! My guest on Miz TV this week is the man who pinned Shane Douglas the longest reigning United States champion in history, the man who main evented last weeks Smackdown in a competitive match against the world champion Dean Ambrose and is the man who beat Chris Jericho at Summerslam and proved once and for all who has the better talk show.... The Miz!
*The Miz stands up and sits down on the chair on the left side of the ring*
The Miz: Thank you Miz for having me on your show, I must say the set is of much higher quality then the Highlight Reel same goes for the questions and of course the guests.
*The Miz stands up and moves to the right side of the ring*
The Miz: Thank you Miz. I have to say it's such a honour having you on my show *The Miz starts to blush* so here's your first question Miz. How are you preparing for your match for the hardcore title tonight?
The Miz: It's been quite hard to prepare for it as I was only told last week that I have a title match at Unforgiven, but I've been working out allot more then usual which was allot already if you couldn't tell and I've been watching tapes of my opponents past matches. Goldust is a good competitor but he can get a bit freaky in the ring and can get a bit carried away while Batista might be the biggest man in this match he's also the dumbest so with my superior intelligence I should be able to take advantage of that.
The Miz: Great answer. What is your feelings on your brand Smackdown? Also what is your opinion of our current world champion Dean Ambrose?
The Miz: Smackdown is the brand of the future as RAW has all of the legends like Mr.Anderson,CM Punk and HBK. Even with those odds stack against Smackdown, Smackdown is clearly the better brand as we have a GM who does amazing booking as you can tell from last weeks Smackdown. As much as I hate Dean for ruining Miz TV multiple times he's still a Smackdown guy so I still am rooting for him to retain the belt tonight. Also I would love to be the guy to take that belt off him to teach him a lesson. Never miss with the Miz!
The Miz: I don't know about you but if I was Goldust I would be shitting my self knowing I had to face you tonight. So my final question for you Miz...well.. Can I get a picture with you Please!? I'm just such a big fan of yours *Miz starts to sweat from excitement from speaking with his favourite superstar* I want a picture with you just before you win your first title Miz... It would mean allot.
The Miz: hmmm you know what. Since your my biggest fan I guess I can give you a picture.
*The Miz stands up and lifts his phone up to the air for a selfie and just before he takes the photo*
*With the sound of glass breaking, Miz takes his picture with a shocked expression across his face. The sound of an engine roaring comes from the stage and an ATV emerges at the top of the ramp with Stone Cold Steve Austin at the helm. The Dallas crowd explodes for the Texas native. Austin heads down the ramp full throttle, as he makes it to the bottom, he whips right proceeds to circle the ring. He stops at the last corner and grabs a microphone out of the back rack of the ATV and heads up the steps. Miz looks like he about to speak into his microphone but Stone Cold quickly raises a mic of his own to cut him off*
{Stone Cold Steve Austin}
Listen, before you start with the word vomit, I'm gonna tell ya a story. When I was sitting out at the Broken Skull Ranch trying to take care myself and the land I got there. Every once and a while, after a hard days work I like to relax and have myself a beer. While relaxing and having said beer, sometimes I like to watch myself a little tv. Sometimes I like to watch a little bit of the toughest sport on earth in the best damn company in the sport on that tv. So I got my relaxin', I got my beer, I got my SOOL Wrestling on the TV set and what do I see? I see The Miz, SITTIN' ON HIS ASS in the ring! He's got some chairs, he's got some sunglasses, he's got some hood thing missin' the jacket. This ring ain't made for talk shows boy and it ain't made for kissin' ass it's made for kickin' it. So I picked up my cellular phone and I made a call to the SOOL office. Then I got in my pickup truck and drove it from the Broken Skull Ranch, all the way to Dallas, Texas. I drove it to the arena. I went backstage to find a monitor to watch tonight's event. I find a monitor and I'm watching backstage and what in the hell is going on here tonight? In the middle of the legendary squared circle we got The Miz having an interview with himself, taking pictures of his ugly mug, kissin' his own ass. Boy are the shits or what? What makes ya think anybody out here wants to hear yer opinions on anything while yer out here playin' musical chairs solo? I couldn't take it. I said EH-EH! Not in Dallas, not in Texas!
The Miz: Excuse me! Who do you think you are!? This was perhaps the greatest Miz TV ever and YOU have to come in and ruin it for everyone. And sir no offence but I think the drinking has affected your brain as I'm not interviewing myself I'm interviewing the most must see superstar in SOOL history the Miz! The Miz gave Dean, our world champion the greatest 3 minute match in history you buffoon! So you treat me with respect and get out of my Miz TV segment. I will not allow Miz TV to be ruined for the third time in a row! So get out now!!
*The Miz pokes Austin right in the chest and then points to the entrance ramp*
{Stone Cold Steve Austin}
We'll excuse the hell outta me, but I don't think I was done talking! Another thing, if you don't want don't want to break a nail on that manicured hand of yours, I'd suggest you keep yer bony fingers outta my chest! Who am I? Who do I think I am? You should know, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt because I think all the fumes from your hairspray may have left ya with some brain damage. I am Stone Cold Steve Austin, the baddest mother fucker on this planet. You come prancin' into my state of Texas, come prancin' into this ring calling yerself the most must see superstar in SOOL history, then you start poking me, yer poking the wrong sum bitch, and been workin' yer way up to earning a hand delivered ass whoopin' from Stone Cold Steve Austin! Now the way I see it you got two options, you can either start kickin' up some dust behind you and get the hell out of this ring OR you can find out what it's like to be the most stunned superstar in SOOL history. Now what's it gonna be?
The Miz: You know what, if you want me to leave this ring I will.
*Miz makes his way out of the right side of the ring and grabs a chair*
The Miz: Now I think I'm going to come back into MY ring!
*The Miz slides into the ring and swings the chair at Stone Cold's head but Stone Cold ducks under they spin to face each other, Austin delivers a kick to the midsection of Miz followed by a stunner. Miz flips over from the momentum and rolls out of the ring. Austin climbs the turnbuckle and raises his fists above his head looking into the SOOL crowd.*
Tag Team Champions, The Royal Blood vs. Cesaro & Kidd
*Cesaro and Kidd make their entrance quickly with excitement. Adrian Neville walks out with uncertainty in his eyes, and he stops mid walk way and looks at the top of the ramp as Balor's theme music begins to play. No one comes out. Neville looks down slowly takes off his cape, and gets into the ring. Adrian hands his title over to the ref.*
.:Adrian Neville:.
I wil do the best I can by myself...
As Cesaro and Kidd walks into the back with the titles Neville with hurt ribs slowly rolls out of the ring and grabs a mic.
.:Adrian Neville:.
Yeah...Yeah go ahead and take those titles Kidd and Cesaro. Take them and ruin all the blood sweat and tears I made winning those belts. You people notice how I said I and not we or Finn and I? Well that's because Finn isn't here!
Neville slowly re-enters the ring
.:Adrian Neville:.
You think you know a guy. Finn and I have been friends for years and if there was one person I always thought would have my back it was him. The highs and the lows, we conquered them all. And the moment we reach the top what does he do? He bails on me. No return calls. No emails! He just ups and leaves whenever he wants to. Well you know what I have to say about that?! I-
Red mist fills the arena as the lights go dark. Out of the darkness standing there is Finn Balor
Balor slowly crawls his way down to the ring
Light explodes back into the arena as Finn stands up, soaking up the attention
Adrian Neville:
So now you show up? Fashionably late huh?
Finn crawls into the ring as stands up and stares Neville in the eye.
Adrian Neville:
So what's your excuse? Lost your phone?
No response
Adrian Neville:
Your car break down?
Still no response
Adrian Neville:
You miss your flight?!
Finn just continues to stare at Neville
Adrian Neville:
ANSWER ME!
Finn sudden lashes out with a right hook that drops Adrian Neville. Due to Neville's earlier match he drops instantly. Balor backs up into the corner and waits for Neville to get up.
*With Neville down for the count Balor ascends the top rope. Balor looks down at Neville with a blank stare before hitting him with the Coup de Grace. Neville holds hit chest in agony as Balor continues to stare at him. Balor slowly crawls backwards out of the ring, his eyes never leaving Neville. He walks backwards up the ramp, his grin the last thing anyone sees before the lights cut out. When they cut back on, Balor is nowhere to be found. Camera cuts to a backstage segemnt*
We cut to the backstage area where we find Enzo and Big Cass walking, appearing to be mid-conversation.
[Colin Cassidy]
So wait, you're telling me we ain't in that match for the titles tonight?
[Enzo Amore]
Yeah Cass, I'm telling you that those poptarts got one over on us.
[Colin Cassidy]
But that doesn't make any sense to me.
[Enzo Amore]
What do you mean it doesn't make any sense to you?
[Colin Cassidy]
I don't remember it happening that way, man. What happened again?
[Enzo Amore]
We lost. 1, 2, and the 3, we were planted like a tree. What do you remember.
[Colin Cassidy]
It was nothing like that.....
With that, Cass looks off into the distance, as though remembering something.
And we're back to Cass and Enzo, looking at each other.
[Enzo Amore]
You have to be on some of that stuff crazy cousin Earl sent us.
[Colin Cassidy]
No way man! I truly remember it happening like that.
[Enzo Amore]
Ah, get over it bro. We got that other thing to do tonight either way.
[Colin Cassidy]
Yeah, I guess you're right man. Let's go.
The duo walk off screen, causing it to go elsewhere.
*As Unforgiven continues, Shane McMahon is seen in his office on the phone. He seems to be having a conversation with Commissioner Michaels.*
Shane McMahon: Yeah, Shawn I know. This is not only going to be a big night for you, but for RAW as well. Smackdown is going to be overshadowed by RAW especially when Alberto brings the World title back to RAW. I’m not worried about it…
*Shane then listens as Shawn responds… A few moments pass until Shane replies.*
Shane McMahon: What does RAW is WAR do if Alberto loses tonight? … That’s a good question. If he loses and doesn’t bring the title back to RAW then… well for starters, I wouldn’t want to be Alberto. The humiliation he’ll be facing by coming back to RAW as a failure on top of… well that’s not important. However, I do have a contingency plan for that worst case scenario. It’s that I will be…
*Just then Shane stops talking as someone has entered his office. He notices that it’s Sting. Shane then talks to Michaels before addresses Sting. *
Shane McMahon: Actually Shawn, something just came up. I’ll get back to you later and I’ll tell you my plan. *Shane hangs up the phone.* Sting, you got a big match representing RAW tonight. Well, what can I do for you?
Sting: Hey Shane, first off I just want to say I am honored to be representing Raw is War tonight, and I promise to come back Monday with the first huge win over Smackdown. But the real reason I am here is because I have yet to see Bram around and I was hoping to get a few words in with him or Steph before we go into our last battle.
A sudden knock at the door catches Sting's and Shane's attention. Before either of them can speak it opens to reveal Steph with Bram right behind her.
Stephanie McMahon:
Speak of the devil and she shall appear. Hello, Shane.
Shane McMahon: Hi, Sis...
Stephanie McMahon:
Hope you aren't too sore about what happened to Jericho earlier. I know you and him are...friends. But I can't always...control my superstars. Anywho, I was walking through the halls and I couldn't help but here my name here.
Shane McMahon: Yeah, you damn straight you have no control over your superstars. Jericho is a decorated superstar and what you let happen to him is a tragedy. I still have to call his wife to let her know everything will be okay. You know what, that kind of crap would... You know what, this isn't the time or place. What do you want, Steph?
Shane calms himself down as Stephanie cracks a smile and then she takes notice of Sting
Stephanie McMahon:
Hello there Sting. I just want you to know how very sorry I am. To toil your years away on...a lesser brand like Raw. It's truly a waste of your talent. If you ever want REAL competition, Smackdown's doors are always open. I believe you were looking for this man?
Steph steps aside for Bram to step forward
Bram: Well, well well looks who's finally decided to join the party. I've gotten all your texts and calls to a point where it's sickening me. What in heavens sake do you want from me Stinger? We went one on one on two separate occasions and now I'm hearing you want this go even further? This will be eating away at your core. Do you want to go through with this, after calling me out yet again? This time, a certain decision will be made.From one man to another, what's left in that ring after we go to war.. will be nothing. We're not going to make it out, remember you made this personal.
I started this fight, and I plan on finishing it tonight.
Bram leads in closer and offers his hand to Sting.
Sting gradually puts his hand out without the two losing eye contact.
The two keep a tight grip of one another's palms and fingers in a stern handshake.
Bram whispers softly to get his point across.
Bram: The scorpion will die by it's own stinger, and I will stand tall. Paralyze yourself in fear, because your legs will crumble, and you will fall apart piece by piece whilst you can do nothing but watch from inside your own eyes. It's been nice knowing you, I'm sorry to see you go.. it has to be done. I told you I'd put you out of your own misery, and I will follow through on that promise.
Shane McMahon: Wait just a minute. You think you can kill the Stinger? You know what Bram? I never wanted to draft you for a bunch of different reasons which is why you ended up on Smackdown but Sting will expose most of those reasons tonight. Especially because as of right now, I am making your match tonight an Extreme Rules Match! Now, you can leave Bram and take that second rate GM out of here.
Stephanie and Bram then leave with smug confident looks on their faces. Sting then looks over at Shane and as the two share a look of disdain for Steph and Bram, Sting nods his head as he's ready to go to war with Bram tonight.
Singles Match
Tyler Breeze vs. Roman Reigns
Hardcore Champion, Goldust vs. The Miz vs. Batista
*With Batista and Miz already in the ring ready for their match Goldust stops at the top of the ramp with microphone before heading to the ring.*
{Goldust}
To be hardcore, one must be willing to go beyond average. Become more than a man, while reduced to a savage. There are no count outs, no disqualifications. Throw in some weapons and prepare for the mayhem. Breaking bones, losing teeth and gallons of blood. Battered and bruised, tearing flesh, can you feel the love? I bear this title, I am its symbol. Men kneel before me while their women tremble. The Miz and Batista, I hope you are ready. Try to keep your focus and your heart rate steady. There can be only true leader of the hardcore. The time is now gentleman, prepare yourselves for war.
Enzo and Big Cass come out to the top of the ramp. Enzo repeatedly runs around Cass as Cass takes in the crowd.
{Enzo Amore}
My name, is Enzo Amore! And I am...a certified G...and a bonafide STUD! And you Can't. Teach. That! And this right here?
Enzo Points to Big Cass
{Enzo Amore}
This right here is Big Cass! And he's SEVEN FOOT TALL! And you Can't. Teach. That. Boda Boom! REALEST GUYS IN SOOL!
{Both)
HOW YOU DOIN'?!
Enzo and Cass enter the rang where Enzo does...well...this
Finally Enzo calms down and begins to speak
{Enzo Amore}
Now, I don't know about the other marshmallows in the back, be Cass and me? We got what we like to call...a colorful personality.
((Big Cass))
We makes rainbows jealous ya hear?
{Enzo Amore}
When teams see us when all they see is red
((Big Cass))
One big boot from me? Gone ahead and put 'em in a bed. We saved the tag division from lames with the personality color grey
{Enzo Amore}
If you don't want to get put down, they know it's best to get out our way. Our mic skills make people green with envy.
((Big Cass))
Us jobbing to Pringles mascot and Walt Disney tonight? No way, it can't be. Yeah, you might see new tag champs, no doubt wearing purple
{Enzo Amore}
They got one over on us, that Swiss Softie and his little gerbil. But the next time they see us? You gone see them turn white as chalk.
{Both)
Cause everyone knows that they're S-A-W-F-T! SAWFT!
{Enzo Amore}
But tonight ain't about us. At least not yet. Cause tonight we got a new tag team comin' to the division.
((Big Cass))
Meet the New Age Power Rangers! Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio! I Mean- Kalisto!
*The crowd erupts with a big pop welcoming the Lucha Dragons, and they begin to chant*
.:Fans:.
LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA! LUCHA!
*One by one each flip over the ropes striking their trademark pose*
*They turn together as the fans are cheering loud, and are met with Big Cass handing them mics*
((Big Cass))
Word on the street is you guys are new talent here in SOOL. That you're some kinda supa hero team that's been killin' Tag Divisions everywhere you go.
{Enzo Amore}
But see Cass, Word on the Street is...that's not the REAL Sin Cara as I heard. That he's an imposter.
((Big Cass))
Oh really? Cause Word on the Street is that's Mysterio. I mean, he's small like him. He's wears a mask like em'. We''re gonna assume...you're probably em'.
Enzo sees Kalisto and Sin Cara getting offended and brings his mics to his lips
{Enzo Amore}
Hey hey hey! It's all good. We ain't here for no fighting. We just wanna ask you guys a couple of questions. Like, why'd ya come here? Do you two really think you can beat a couple of G's like me and Cass? And are you really as entertain' as everyone keeps yapping about?
*Sin Cara puts the mic up to his mask and somewhat muffled voice emerges*
.:Sin Cara:.
You know Cass just because we're Latino, small, and wear a mask doesn't make us every other luchador. Matter of a fact, both of us are better than Rey Mysterio. Unlike him, We will actually capitalize here in SOOL. Now to answer your first question, The reason why the Lucha Dragon have come to SOOL was to listen to our fans from all over the world. We love all of you, and wish to entertain you weekly on the biggest promotion company out there.
*Sin Cara looks at Enzo*
.:Sin Cara:.
Unlike you, people have come from all around the world to watch me, and mi amigo.
*Sin Cara puts his hand on Kalisto's shoulder*
{Enzo Amore}
Hey there! Slow your roll! People loves to hear Big Cass, and I smack talk...
*Kalisto begins to speak*
.:Kalisto:.
We have beaten tag teams that you can't even imagine. Just because your bigger than us doesn't mean you can win.
*Kalisto looks over at Big Cass*
.:Kalisto:.
As they say they bigger they are the harder you fall.
*Big Cass nods his head*
((Big Cass))
Yeah bad news for you guys, because I am about to fall on you guys in like five seconds.
*Sin Cara and Kalisto chuckle into the mic, and Sin Cara speaks once again*
.:Sin Cara:.
And to answer your final question..
*Sin Cara, and Kalisto both at the same time run up to Enzo, and Big Cass. Lucha Dragons hurricanrana both Big Cass, Enzo out of the ring. The Lucha Dragons with great energy get onto turnbuckles. Sin Cara and Kalisto both look at each other, and give each other a nod, and jump off the turnbuckle. Sin Cara takes out Big Cass with a crossbody, and Kalisto takes out Enzo with a crossbody of his own. As they stand up they high five each other, and the crowd goes crazy for what they have seen was an incredible sight. We go to a commercial break.*
Singles Match
Bram vs Sting
The lights go out and the crowd begins to go crazy, the crowd sits and waits for the lights to hit a few seconds later
The lights cut back on
Sting and Bram are nowhere to be found leaving the crowd in shock. Camera fades and goes to commerical.
*Unforgiven continues with a sound of pyro going off followed by the theme song of the best damn talk show host in SOOL.*
*Jericho comes out onto the stage and he looks quite excited to be in the arena tonight for the Highlight Reel.*
*Jericho heads on down to the ring as he sees his Highlight Reel set all ready to go as he is anticipating another good episode tonight. Tonight’s guest has been advertised all week long as Smackdown’s General Manager, Stephanie McMahon and she is scheduled to make an announcement tonight. Jericho then raises his microphone up to his mouth as he then begins to speak.*
Chris Jericho: Welcome everyone to what will be another stellar edition of the number one talk show in all of SOOL... My name is Chris Jericho and this is the Highlight Reel! Unforgiven has been very unforgiving to the competitors of these matches and there will be outcomes that people will be buzzing about for a long time but nothing will be more remembered and buzz worthy than tonight's Highlight Reel. Yeah sure, you have championship matches, Edge, Randy Orton, and a slew of other competitors and matches but the Highlight Reel is the one place where you get all things Chris JERICHO!!!
Chris Jericho: Now unless you've been living under a rock or you've been losing matches left and right like some people in the back, then you will know that tonight is the end of things the way we know it. Tomorrow the brand split goes into full effect and superstars will be competing for brand supremacy among other things and its really an exciting time for all of SOOL. The RAW brand has its roster of some of the most iconic superstars in SOOL history and its going to be led by a true genius of this business, the amazing Shane McMahon. Now on the other hand there is Smackdown and it is ran by Shane's sister and among her roster of troglodytes are a select few shining star none bigger than yours truly. That's right, I will lead Smackdown to the promise land a top this business because simply put I am the best in the world at what I do.
*Jericho gets quite the chorus of boos but he's no stranger to the crowd not liking him, so he ignores them and continues on with his show.*
Chris Jericho: Now speaking of Smackdown, that brings me to my special guest for this evening. She is the woman in charge of the brand and my sole future boss. She is the general manager fortunate to have drafted me to their show, and she is here to make an announcement for Smackdown. Jericholics, please give a warm welcome to the general manager of Smackdown!, Stephanie McMahon!!
*Stephanie quickly makes her way down to the ring and enters the Highlight Reel as Jericho wastes no time in addressing her.*
Chris Jericho: Welcome Stephanie to the Highlight Reel. I'm sure it's an honor for you to be on tonight's Highlight Reel given the momentous night we are in the middle of here at Unforgiven. Now I don't want to waste any time, so let's get down to business. We'll start with the most important question that everyone is dying to know... Why did you choose to draft me to Smackdown?
Stephanie McMahon: Well first off, thank you for having me on your show. I'm not sure if that's exactly the most important thing people want to ask me but I'll answer it anyway. Chris, I watched SOOL for years. And I must say, there are egos in this place. There is CM Punk. There is Anderson. There is even Commish Michaels. But YOU...You may have quite possibly the biggest ego of any superstar I've ever met. And why shouldn't you? You are the year long Intercontinental record breaking champion! Chris rather you're out here barely slipping by with the win, or getting destroyed...you're good for ratings.
Chris Jericho: Well I really appreciate that, Steph. I really do because... wait? What? "Getting destroyed"
How dare you disrespect me, who in the world do you thi... wait. Nevermind, I get it. ha-ha. That was obviously a joke. You know there isn't anyone on either roster that could destroy me. Good on stuff, we'll just move forward. Other than having me on the roster, what do you think gives Smackdown the edge over RAW?Stephanie McMahon: What Smackdown has over Raw is simple. We're fresh. We're new. If you tune into Raw after Unforgiven you might as well go back to 2010. I mean honestly all they're missing is Hardy. It's not to say that they don't have some special talent. Balor, Neville, Sting, Styles, Cena, Batista among others. But the truth is there are egos at work there. Ego that will drown out all other talent. And I'm gonna sit back and watch Shane self destruct over there.
Chris Jericho: Interesting perspective, Steph. However, I think both us know Shane very well and personally speaking. I know he can handle talent and egos better than anyone on the planet, so I personally think that Shane will do amazing. Anyways, so all week long, the rumors have been going around that you've had some announcement about Smackdown that you'd like to make here tonight on the Highlight Reel. The only truth there is that you do have an announcement to make, so Steph, please feel free to tell us all what you would like to announce here tonight.
Stephanie McMahon: Well Chris you see I came out here to tell everyone-
*Just before Stephanie could actually make her announcement she is cut off by Jericho.*
Chris Jericho: Stephanie, just a second, look if it's alright by you, I'll just accept the honor now and spare you the speech. I'm a highly decorated superstar and I am worth all of the praise in the world and quite frankly I already know what your announcement is. It's obvious, it's been painfully obvious ever since you decided to make the announcement here on the Highlight Reel and once again, I accept. You were going to announce that you want to formally declare that I, Chris Jericho, am going to be the new number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship! I love it and I think it's a great decision and I accept the challenge and responsibility of being the new number one contender. It doesn't matter if Ambrose retains tonight of if Del Rio wins and takes the title over to RAW. It's pretty apparent that Shane and I are on good terms, so I'm sure that Shane won't mind me competing for the title against Del Rio at Halloween Havoc if that were to be the case. So don't worry Steph, I won't let you or the brand down. I got this and I will be the next World Heavyweight Champion. So with that said, Steph I'd like to thank you for coming on the show and bestowing such an honor upon me and I will not...
*Just then Jericho is cut off by Stephanie.*
Stephanie McMahon: Uh...Jericho. I appreciate your passion and such but I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not out here to declare you the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. Chris, I gotta be honest...I worry for your safety here on Smackdown. Chris you're a great wrestler and everything but some may describe you as a little...soft. And Smackdown is full of very rugged, dangerous, and sometimes psychotic guys. Ambrose. Owens. Kruger. Rusev. Harper. Foley. Randy. And...even one of my newest acquisitions to the Smackdown roster. Yes, that's right, I have acquired new talent from RAW. So in other words, I came out here tonight to officially announce that Shane and I have come to terms on a trade. Now you can find the details of the trade exclusively at SOOLWrestling.com later this evening, but one of the superstars that I'm going to introduce you to tonight does indeed fit the bill of being rugged, dangerous and flat out psychotic...Ladies and gentlemen, one of the newest additions to the Smackdown roster!
*Jericho is all types of confused right now. He was insulted by Stephanie as she called him soft. He's confused as to who's been traded. He then begins to wonder if he got traded and that's maybe why Stephanie wanted to announce it on the Highlight Reel. Jericho simply can't believe that Stephanie would come onto the Highlight Reel just to humiliate him. Jericho isn't sure what to make of it but just as he is about to respond to Stephanie, all the lights in the arena go out.*
*After moments of darkness and silence, the lights finally return. However, Jericho and Stephanie aren't the only two in the ring anymore. They now seem to be joined by one the newest members of the Smackdown roster...*
*It's Braun Strowman! Strowman has been foreshadowing his emergence in SOOL and he is a mountain of a man. Stephanie is grinning from ear to ear over the pure size of her new Smackdown talent. Jericho on the other hand just looks confused and concerned as glances at Strowman and then back at Stephanie to try to understand the situation.*
*Strowman takes a step forward and removes his black sheep mask. He stares down Jericho and says something to him that can’t be heard. Jericho starts throwing forearms into the chest of Strowman in response. Strowman doesn't budge and keeps staring him down. Jericho looks to the ropes behind him and runs, he jumps onto the middle rope and springs off at Strowman. Strowman catches him and flings him behind with a belly to belly suplex.
Jericho start to slowly get to his feet, looking dazed. He looks up just as Strowman grabs him and throws him across the ring like a doll. Strowman picks him up over his head, and military presses Jericho outside the ring to the floor. Strowman picks his mask back up and puts it o and then go in pursuit of Jericho as he steps over the top rope to the outside.
Strowman picks up a weakened Jericho and runs him head first into the nearby ring post. He goes to him, picks him up again grabbing the back of his head and smacking his face off the pole. Jericho falls to the ground again but this time as a bloody mess. Jericho, gets to his knees, grabbing at Strowman's pants trying to get up. Strowman backs up causing Jericho to fall. Strowman raises his big boot and kicks him in the head. Strowman grabs Jericho by the wrist and drags his lifeless body to the announcer’s table. He pulls Jericho to his feet before grabbing his neck and lifting him into the air in which he drives Jericho down with a chokeslam through the announce table. Strowman looks down at the unconscious Jericho. The lights go out yet again, but this time when they come back on. Both Strowman and Jericho are gone. Stephanie is shocked and yet impressed by the first impression that her monster has just made on the SOOL Universe.*

Bray Wyatt vs Bam Bam Bigelow
*The crowd immediately erupts into boos and jeers at the sight of Bam Bam Bigelow as he makes his way down to the ring. One fan leaning over the barricade waving his middle finger at Bigelow as he passes. Bam Bam stops at the fan and makes a quick step towards him as if he were to grab him. The fan quickly brings himself back over to his side of the barricade to which Bigelow smiles acknowledging than fans fear. The embarrassed fan shouts "Fuck you!" in response which causes Bigelow to laugh as he continues to make his way to the ring. As he enters the ring with microphone in hand the smile is wiped from his face which now dons a much more serious and aggravated look.*

Listen up Dallas hicks! Point that buck tooth at the ring. The wait is over! Last week was the last time your 'daddy', Bray Wyatt is going to distract me from tearing another man apart in my match because this time, he is the one I'm going to destroy! Bray Wyatt, I've been waiting for this moment a long time. Ever since my plans of facing you at Wrestlemania 5 got ruined because this place operates like a bad circus I've had to wait. You took your vacation, and I had to wait more. I got a chance at Lethal Lockdown but Sting beat me to it and there was more waiting! Now the wait is over! It's just me and you finally together we'll be face to face. I don't have to talk to the titantron tonight, no tonight is the real deal!

A lot of time has passed since Jake Roberts called me up to come take you out, he may not be here now but I always finish the job! I was going to knock you off the top but you fell from grace all on your own. Now I'm here to put the last nail in your coffin. You wanted me to find you and I have found you. Trapped in this ring with me, I've finally got you where I want you. If any of his 'children' are out there praying TO him, I suggest you start praying FOR him. For him to survive the beating I put on him tonight because TONIGHT your GOD meets his BEAST and he is going to look just as mortal and pathetic as every one of you so brace yourselves. When the smoke clears and the fight is over and I take his immortality and grind into dust I will leave him a broken heap in the ring where he will remain, UNFORGIVEN!
