Looneyville, Texas!
Singles Match
Enzo Amore vs Roman Reigns
::Shawn Michaels::
This Sunday, six men will step into a demonic playground known simply as the Elimination Chamber. It’s a match designed to hurt and maim any combatant who steps inside. This match can be very well career threatening but I know what I’m getting myself into, I understand all the risks involved. Rest assured that I will do whatever it takes to survive hell and walk out as your champion. 6 years ago, I competed in the main event of SOOL’s first ever pay-per-view and it was the Survivor Series, a match in which a World Heavyweight Champion would be crowned for the first time. Now I will admit I’m not that kind of guy who cares to admit when he’s wrong much less when he fails to do something he says he’s going do but at that event six years ago, I fell short and a man by the name of Chris Jericho became the first individual in SOOL history to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
::Shawn Michaels::
Now we fast forward to the present. Six years later… it’s the 7th Annual Survivor Series and the landscape of what once was has changed drastically. It’s a new era…and more specifically a new day on November 22nd, another opportunity, a chance at redemption to make history, to accomplish a feat which I came that close to doing those many years ago *pauses*… A second chance. Only one man will walk out of that Chamber this Sunday as Champion and he will go down in the annals of time as he is declared the first ever holder of the SOOL Championship and I can assure you…THAT man WILL be the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
You see the fact of the matter is this, I…
The sound leaves the arena dark, the crowd popping and Shawn becoming silent. A moment passes, the crowd seeming really excited for what is to come after weeks of silence.
The theme song comes over the titantron, fireflies coming up all around the arena. The clapping of hands together with the beat, ominous and very coherent. From the stage, a light appears. The lantern of Bray, illuminating the face of young Abigail. She walks down the ramp, a shadow following her. Emotionless, Abigail keeps the same pace all the way down as the camera moves to Shawn, who has been slightly illuminated during the entrance. He stands, staring down the lantern. Abigail makes it fully down the ramp, and without a word, blows out the lantern. Darkness takes over again. After a few moments, a spotlight drops on the ring, illuminating Bray Wyatt, standing across the ring from Shawn. Wyatt, holding a mic in his hand, points at Shawn.
{{Bray Wyatt}}
For months now Shawn, I've been trying to get your attention. Time and time again, I've begged and pleaded for you to come and find me. And sure enough, you never did. I brought up your brother in arms, the fallen King, and still, you lay silent. But now, that your chance at redemption stands before you, you finally decide to speak? I understand you.
Bray takes a moment as Shawn cocks and eyebrow.
{{Bray Wyatt}}
You see Shawn, I know exactly where you stand. I stood there too. Soon after my own holy grail fell into your hands. The hands, of someone who wasn't worthy, man. That's what did it for me. When I stood as you stood, consumed by redemption, I walked away from this world we play pretend in. I went out, and I found myself again, man. I found the insight, that Sister Abigail laid into my head, long ago. I found the diety that had been buried beneath all the other things inside of my mind. Then I returned, with the fireflies surrounding me and I went to war. Just to be broken again. I lost. I then, stood back, and allowed others to take my place, because no one, NO ONE, dictates my world. Everyone wanted to see me and dear old Dean rip each other apart but man, I didn't. I understand, the need for redemption Shawn. I overcame it. Your plan, for redemption, is pathetic. You see, this hellish world we're going to enter, is unlike any that we've ever known. And I, I've been to it many of times. Come Survivor Series, there's no more ignoring me Shawn. There's only going to be-
The trons light up pink and full of DZ logos as Dolph Ziggler's theme begins to blast throughout the arena. The crowd unleashes a massive pop for Raw's resident "Show Off" as he makes his way through the curtain with a mic in hand. He's wearing a black leather jacket with the "World DZtruction Tour" logo on the back, along with his all new black and pink tights. Ziggler raises the mic to his mouth and speaks as he makes his way down the ramp.
(Dolph Ziggler)
I didn't mean to interrupt this fine conversation you two are having, but I was starting to feel a tad left out....
Ziggler walks up the ringside steps and enters the ring, once he's in the ring he resumes speaking....
(Dolph Ziggler)
Ya see, both of you have stood atop the mountain here in SOOL more then once, I've never even been TO the mountain ONCE, let alone be at the top of the damn thing. Let me tell you, nothing makes a man more hungry and motivated for success then being out on the shelf injured. I have been dying for an opportunity of this caliber for months now, a chance to elevate my game and prove to the world that I am the best damn wrestler this company has to offer.
(Dolph Ziggler)
When I came back, I could've gone straight for that vacant Intercontinental Championship. I could've wiped the floor with JBL like I did a few weeks ago when he chose to get himself DQ'd rather then suffer the loss to me. But I didn't, I knew I could accomplish that goal, I chose to elevate my game and push myself to take it to the next level. I chose to pursue the newly minted SOOL Championship. I've made it my mission to win that title, and turn it into a championship that these fans can be proud of.
(Dolph Ziggler)
I wake up at 4am every single morning, and I don't sleep till 1am the next morning. I'm pushing myself 21 hours a day to be ready for this Elimination Chamber Match. Undoubtebly the biggest match of my career, this is my time to prove to the world and myself that I'm still the Dolph Ziggler I was before I got injured. This is my shot at redemption, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna let anyone get in my way, especially you 2....
(Dolph Ziggler)
I've been waiting a long time to be in the same ring with you commish. For years and years now everyone has compared Dolph Ziggler to HBK. At Survivor Series, the fans finally get to see me and you in the same ring... For all the similarities between me and you HBK, there's one big difference, You're one of those guys who talk a big game, but almost never back it up. I'm the opposite, I show off and talk trash all I want because I step into that ring every single night and I BACK IT UP!!!
(Dolph Ziggler)
Don't get me wrong Shawn, in your hayday, you're one of the best ever, hands down no questions asked. But you're not who you used to be, hell you even won the World Title earlier this year and held for what? a week? 2 at the most? Then again, you've never been one for holding onto the World Title judging by your past with it......
(Dolph Ziggler)
After Punk beat you at Mania a few years back, you lost your fighting spirit and you sold out. You traded in your tights and wrestling boots for a suit and a fancy pair of loafers. Earlier this year, I sold out, unknowingly due to Heyman's brainwashing but nevertheless, I sold out, and it took an injury to wake me up and get my head straight. You've been a sell out for YEARS now, I couldn't handle it for more then a few months, but you, you like it. You like the power to literally do whatever you please when you please. You're obsessed with the notion that you can play big boss whenever you want, yet lace up your boots and play around in the ring as well.
(Dolph Ziggler)
Recently I've noticed that you've began to step back into the ring full time basically, good for you. But how in the hell are you still commish while being a full time wrestler again? In what world does that make any sense Shawn? How can you live with yourself Shawn? How do you sleep at night knowing you traded all of them in for your own greed..... Let me tell you something Shawn, there was a time when I once respected you, that time was a long time ago and it has come and it has gone, and now I stand in front of you in the middle of this ring today, and I have this strong urge to kick your teeth down your throat right here and right now with the move YOU made famous, the Super Kick......
(Dolph Ziggler)
But I'm not gonna do that Shawn, because unlike you I actually care about what the fans want to see, and they want to see Shawn Michaels get his ass kicked all around that Chamber. So I'm gonna keep myself in check for now and keep that Super Kick warm for you for Survivor Series. Because once we step inside that Elimination Chamber, their will be nowhere for you to run, and nowhere for you to hide HBK...... Come Survivor Series, the moment I step out of that pod, I'm coming for you Shawn, and I'm gonna prove to you that the Dolph Ziggler of today is better then Shawn Michaels EVER was.....
(Dolph Ziggler)
As for you Bray...........
Balor makes his usual flashy entrance, literally bumping his way past Ziggler on the way down to ring with a microphone in his hand
{Balor}
Yeah yeah Dolph, no one cares what you have to say. Especially considering last week you didn't just lose, you got DESTROYED. And not even by me, by my weaker half Finn. After that showing, anything you have to say is automatically irrelevant. Oh, and you weren't brainwashed by Heyman. You were just a desperate man who allied himself with other desperate men and became one of the least threatening factions in SOOL history. Adrian Neville of all people ran through you guys like you were made of paper.
Balor gets into the ring
{Balor}
Now me, I'm the best thing going on Raw. Which is more that can be said for most of you. Like you Michaels. You should definitely not be in this match. I beat you like I did a couple weeks ago on Raw. I agree with what you said, it is a new era here in SOOL. Which means old fossils such as yourself should get out. It's not that you can't compete at the level you could in 2010. It's that people like me have raised the bar like you could never imagine nor hope to grab. Survivor Series will not be your night. There will be no confetti falling down on you while you raise the championship. The only thing you'll receive is a ref helping you out of the ring after you've been eliminated.
Balor turns to Wyatt
{Balor}
I believe I don't need any introduction to you. But just in case I do...I'm the man that cost you your match last week. I beat you down with a chair over and over just for the simple fact that well...I could. Bray Wyatt! The Eater of Worlds! A god among men. Or at least you used to be until you started to choke every match. God, ha, what a joke. Meet the NEW face of FEAR. It is now my face that strikes fear into people hearts. And later tonight when we do battle I'm gonna strike fear into your eyes to. When you see me coming off that top rope like an angle only to drive my feet through your heart and send you spiraling right down to hell. Tonight I'm gonna-
Through the arena speakers
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
-You're gonna wish you kept your mouth shut!
Bam Bam Bigelow walks out beneath the titantron with microphone in hand.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
I don't think you guys want to start a pissing match because while you're tinkling in the ring I'm coming in to hose you all down!
Bigelow heads down the ramp, making his way to the ring.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
First I have to ask, Finn Balor, how do you know so much about this Dolph Ziggler guy? Didn't you just get here? Were you stalking him or just watching SOOL on TV at home in your pajamas before you made it to the big leagues? The only fact anybody needs to know going into this chamber is that I already beat half of the guys in it, on my way to it!
Now at the ring, Bam Bam steps in through the ropes to find himself, face to face with Shawn Michaels.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
Commissioner Michaels, more of a title than an actual job now isn't it? Yes, now you are just another opponent. No real office power now that the McMahon's are running things again. You're six years older than the last time you couldn't get it done and that was your prime. Now your dream of redemption might bring on your destruction. It's a tougher crowd than it used to be, are you sure want in this match because you may not make it the next Raw is War much less the trying your luck again next year.
Bam Bam turns to face Dolph Ziggler.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
I'm not really sure who you are Ziggler but if I had to guess I would say Shawn Michaels' bastard son. You look like a modern version of that "pretty boy" style, something the local mall just threw up. That orange spray tan, that dyed blonde hair, is that your real face or plastic surgery? That super kick is the cherry on top making you the Half-Fake Kid himself. Can't say I'm sorry to hear of you being injury prone, I hope it was more serious than losing a smile. I myself am prone to giving injuries so we should work well together. Don't worry I don't injure everyone, sometimes there are...
Bigelow turns his glance at Wyatt and Balor.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
Survivors...
Bam Bam takes a step towards Finn Balor.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
Which brings me back to you Balor. A little shit like you thinks he is the new face of fear?
Bam Bam begins laughing hard, placing his free hand onto his shaking belly.
(Bam Bam Bigelow)
You sure are making a lot of noise for a roach I crushed under my boot. Or was that your shitty half? Either way, I'm the only thing on this planet to be truly feared. You strike no fear in my heart, but that could be because I have no heart. I'm the heartless beast who showed the world that even though gods are fake, monsters are real. This monster you're looking at is at the top of the food chain and when you step in this ring you step on my plate and in the chamber, it's going to be a Thanksgiving feast, table for one and I won't stop till I'm pickin' the bones. That's right I'll be using your bones for toothpicks and when I'm finished-
The Animal Batista's music blares throughout the arena as he walks through the curtain with a mic in his hand clapping very slowly, looking to the 5 superstars he has to face at Survivor Series.
{Batista}
Wow, what is this? A shit talking contest? Well let's face it, you're all just scared and now you're compensating by shit talking one another. No that's not me.. You all can look like a bunch of babies fighting over who has the best insults but I'll be in this ring at Survivor Series bagging all of your bodies.
Batista then steps up on the steps and walks in the ring
{Batista}
I don't care if you're fat.
Batista looks at Bam Bam.
{Batista}
I don't care if you're a "demon".
Batista looks at Balor
{Batista}
I don't care if you're like a girl.
Batista looks at Ziggler
{Batista}
I don't care if you look homeless.
Batista looks to Bray Wyatt
{Batista}
And I certainly don't care if you're my sellout boss.
Batista looks at Shawn Michaels
{Batista}
If I meet you in the Chamber, I'm breaking your spine with a Batista Bomb then taking my title.
*Balor grins before slowly making his way out of the ring and the tense atmosphere*
{Balor}
Well gentlemen...we'll just see who's gonna be champion won't we? Good luck...victims.
*With that Balor slowly stalks his way out of the arena as the camera fades to black.*

*Then as Shawn Michaels is standing there ready to knock CM Punk’s head off with a superkick, the lights flicker a bit. Michaels stops in his tracks and looks around as he hears commotion amongst the crowd. Then Shawn looks up as he sees members of the crowd pointing upward in towards the rafters.*
*It’s Sting and Shawn isn’t sure what to make of it as Sting has shown up yet again in another one of CM Punk’s matches. Then the sound of the crow can be heard.*
*Then suddenly Sting propels down from the rafters and right in front of Shawn Michaels. Shawn is questioning Sting as to why he’s even here. Sting then pulls out his infamous baseball bat out from within his coat. Before Shawn can react to it, Sting swings the bat and hits Michaels in the gut. Michaels drops to the floor and then Sting cracks Shawn over the back with the bat once again. Michaels collapses to the ground. CM Punk is up now and witnessed Sting’s attack. Sting and Punk have quite the standoff as Punk is hesitant to approach Sting while he’s wielding a bat. Sting points the bat at Punk and Punk begins to shout obscenities at Sting. Sting smirks and simply turns his back towards Punk and walks away. Punk is then trying to catch his breath as this match has seemingly been thrown out as RAW is WAR goes to a commercial break.*
Singles Match
Colin Cassady vs Hideo Itami
Adrian Neville is pacing back and forth angrily backstage, and he kicks a wall with a echoing yell
.:Adrian Neville:.
I AM NOT A LOSER!
Neville realizes the camera is watching him. He quickly walks over to the camera, and grabs it. Then he puts it directly to his face for a close up, and his voice becomes very stern
.:Adrian Neville:.
Balor.. Let's get one thing straight. I am not a loser. Your AFRAID I am the one thing that can stop your road to success. I can see it in your eyes each time you mention me.
Neville let's go of the camera, and givens it back to the cameraman then takes a couple of steps back
.:Adrian Neville:.
Each time I look into your eyes I see a coward. You attack me from behind on numerous occasions. You have proved nothing with these coward acts. You will never achieve success that way. All you'll make is a ton of enemies, and you'll get your ass beat around here every week. Now, my success is also Finn's. He has helped me all throughout my wrestling career. I know what it takes to destroy you. Finn has taught me all of his secretes, I know what it takes to stop you Balor.
Neville turns his head looking down at the ground with a confused look on his face.
.:Adrian Neville:.
But what I don't get is when you showed up to SOOL, Finn, you we're Prince Devitt, but on your time off you decided to come back with a new name? What happened during that time off man? I have done some research on your new name it's Gaelic for "Demon King". What did you get yourself into? I am not sure who you are anymore. See when your Finn I see Prince Devitt like old times, but this other side I just don't where this comes from. It was never there when we we're training together. I am going to get to the bottom of this. I am tired of sitting by, and letting you hurt people who don't deserve this. Where ever you came from demon. I am going to make sure I send you back to hell where you belong you SON OF A BITCH!
Neville pauses as the crowd lets out a thunderers cheer. A slight smiles comes across the face of Adrian Neville.
.:Adrian Neville:.
Now as of my opponent Dolph Ziggler get ready for the fight of your career. I am going to push you to limits that no has ever done. I look forward to meeting you in the squared circle tonight.
Neville walks away from the camera and it slowly fades away back to ringside for the scheduled No Holds Barred match between Bray Wyatt and Neville's frenemy, Finn Balor.
No Holds Barred Match
Bray Wyatt vs. Finn Balor
Bray Wyatt slowly walks down the ramp as his followers wave their lights side to side hypnotically. But...Through the dark
Balor stalks Wyatt. Wyatt, having no idea Balor is behind him, begins to blow out his lantern and that's when Balor hits with with a vicious elbow to the back of the head! Wyatt tumbles towards the ring as Balor picks him up and throws him in. Balor reaches under the ring and and pulls out a chair before sliding in. Bray goes to attack but is met with a chair to the gut and then a shot to the back. The ref calls for the bell while Bray falls and Balor rolls in over. He places the chair on Bray Wyatt's face and climbs the turnbuckle. Balor taunts as he looks to smash Wyatt's face in. But Bray springs to life and bashes the chair across Balor's head knocking him off the turnbuckle and to the floor below. Bray takes the chair outside but Balor or already to his feet and running to the back.
As Balor runs you can hear Bray screaming "Run! Balor! RUN!" as Raw fades to black.
RAW returns from a commercial break as the silence of the crowd is met with the sound of the General Manager's theme.
Shane heads down to the ring and enters it as he quickly grabs a microphone from the ring announcer. Shane begins to address the audience in attendance.
Shane McMahon: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the final RAW before we head into Survivor Series. Which means that we are only six days away from crowning the new SOOL Champion. The man that will indeed lead RAW is WAR to new heights. We are set for what will be an amazing RAW branded Elimination Chamber match. Now with that said, I do intend to plan things into the future and once we crown a new SOOL Champion, it goes without question that we will be needing a new number one contender. Therefore at Survivor Series we will be having a RAW branded traditional Survivor Series six man tag team elimination match. I am here to announce that...
Just then Shane is cut off by the sound of the one and only John Cena.
Cena comes out to quite the amount of cheers. More than what he's used to as this is his first appearance on RAW is WAR in months especially since the brand split. Cena runs to the ring as usual and slides in to come face to face with Shane. Cena grabs a microphone and begins to speak to Shane.
John Cena: Happy to see me, Shane? I just know you got me in that six man tag, right? I'm tired of sitting around missing out on opportunities. I missed out at Halloween Havoc and I'll be damned if I miss out on Survivor Series.
Shane McMahon: Hold on there, Cena. Don't blame me or anyone else. You were not and still not medically cleared to compete. I told you once and I'll tell you again that...
John Cena: Blah, blah, blah. That's what you've said to me. It's all a bunch of crap and nothing more than excuses. Shane, face facts. Everyone on the roster is banged up at one point or another and right now I'm not at 100%, but I can't stand being denied anymore. I'm a man and I want to fight like a man and make my own decisions and create my own success. Give me what I want Shane. All I want is an opportunity.
Shane McMahon: I've heard enough. If you want to risk it and put yourself out there, then so be it. You want an opportunity then show me that you can handle it. That you're ready, and put on a match that these people want to see. I'll go ahead and make my announcement right now before you rudely interrupted me. At Survivor Series, it will be Team Punk versus Team.... ANDERSON! Punk hasn't made his team official yet, but I can confirm team Anderson will be Mr. Anderson, Sting and you, John Cena. However, that's this Sunday, let's talk about tonight. I think I have an opponent for you and you know what, you can have it right now. Get ready, John, let's see what you got.
Shane begins to leave as John shrugs his shoulder and tosses off his hat and takes off his shirt and tosses it into the crowd. He removes his dog tags and kisses them as he hands them off.
Cena jumps from one foot to the other, getting his muscles warmed up for a match he didn't expect, when the lights and screens in the whole arena go black, much like last week before Colin Cassady's match. The titantron also comes to life with the red "REC" symbol in the left corner. The crowd already knows who is behind what is happening and begin to fill the stadium with boos. On the titantron, it appears that a lens cap is being taken off to show the backstage area, where the lights are cut off there as well except for a single burning candle. Erick Rowan walks into frame wearing his usual sheep mask.
{Erick Rowan}
Like moths to a flame (Rowan grabs the candle and brings it closer to the camera), the ever courageous John Cena jumps at the chance to insert yourself into any match involving a championship. It excites you to come out every week, to the cheers and adulation of your adoring fans. The chance to utter your catchprases, especially "The champ is here," drives you to compete. Unbeknownst to the crowd, the roster, and maybe even you, all you are is a clever marketing machine, built for the purpose of lining the pockets of those that own you and your name.
Unlike you, I am not one to be owned, for I am above those that wish to control me. For once I WAS owned, but now I am free. Free to pursue what I wish, whether it be gold... or glory... or the destruction of those I deem unfit for my presence. For I am the light that guides the minds of the new generation... A flame if you will. And just like those moths will eventually get burned for flying to close to the warmth and light they so desire, so will you be put down by the respect you chase after.
Rowan lifts the sheep mask off, and just like last week softly says, "I'm coming for you." He then takes his hand, wets the tip of his index finger, and pinches the flame on the candle, putting it out. The titantron dies out leaving the arena in darkness. The lights come up and Rowan stands on the opposite side of the ring, staring straight at John Cena.
Singles Match
John Cena vs Erick Rowan
The referee rings the bell as the two men begin to circle the ring. They lock up and Rowan shows his strength by backing Cena into a corner. Unable to do gain an advantage on the leader of the Cenation, the ref comes in between to split them apart. They lock up again, and this time Cena wins the power contest and pushes Rowan into the opposite corner. Yet again neither competitor can get an edge on the other, and the ref again comes in between to break the two out of the lockup. As the referee does, Rowan throws a wild right that connects with Cena's temple. An enraged John Cena tries to get Rowan back but the official begins to shove Cena away from the corner.
The referee admonishes John Cena for trying to force his way through the him, when Rowan himself pushes the referee out of the way himself to get in Cena's face. Rowan slowly points to his cheek, almost begging Cena to hit him. Cena abliges, delivering a swift wide hook to Rowan, shaking the big man. Cena continues to strike and goes to kick the gut to set up an early Fisherman's Suplex, when Rowan catches his leg, spins Cena around, and delivers a huge clothesline.
With Cena grounded, Rowan begins to work on his air flow by applying a side headlock. John begins tapping the ground, trying to get the crowd involved. Half the crowd begins to chant "Let's go Cena," and as always the other half responds with "Cena Sucks." Somehow, the chants give Cena the strength to start getting up. When he rises to his feet, he delivers elbows to Rowan's abdomen. When Rowan relinquishes his grip, Cena continues with an onslaught of strikes and prepares to deliver a suplex. When he lifts Rowan, he slips down behind Cena, and grabs Cena around the neck, dropping him with a neckbreaker.
Rowan lifts Cena up, Irish Whips him against the ropes, and drops him down with a sidewalk slam. Rowan continues with and assortment of stomps followed by a Boston Crab. Cena powers out of it, making Rowan flip onto his back. Cena hops up, looks at the crowd, and lifts his hand. He bends down and does the You Can't See Me taunt. Cena runs towards the ropes, but when he rebounds Rowan is already up and connects with Cena's head with a spinning kick. Rowan goes for the cover.

Kickout by Cena. Rowan lifts Cena up and throws him towards the ropes again. He attempts a Big Boot, but Cena ducks under it, jumping on the ropes and sprinboarding back to catch Rowan with a Stunner. Cena goes for the cover on Erick Rowan.

Rowan kicks out at 2.9. Rowan sits up, holding his head. Cena tries to lock in a similar side headlock that Rowan has sunk in earlier, but Erick rose off the mat and punches Cena right in the gut. He then grabs Cena up and slams him down with his Waist Sideslam. He goes for the cover.

Cena kicks out yet again. He quickly gets on his feet, setting up to deliver an AA to Rowan when
Cena quickly turns around as he is surprised by Orton's music especially because Orton is a Smackdown superstar. Everyone is shocked to see Orton, on RAW and Cena is eye to eye with Orton as Orton now begins to make his way down to the ring. Erick Rowan then attempts to take advantage of the situation by going for a Full Nelson Slam, but Cena powers out of the Nelson hold, then turns around to lift Rowan on his shoulders. He slams Rowan down with authority with his AA, and goes for the cover.
As Cena is pinning Rowan, he realizes that there isn't a count. Cena stands up and notices that Orton is on the apron distracting the referee. Cena goes after Orton, but Orton evades Cena and the referee prevents Cena from exiting the ring. Cena then turns around and sees that Rowan is still on his back in the middle of the ring. He foregoes taunting Rowan, bounces off the ropes, and delivers a Five Knuckle Shuffle to the face of Rowan. Erick begins to stand, holding his head. Cena lifts him up for an AA, but is reversed into another Waist Sideslam. Rowan goes for the cover again.

Miraculously, John Cena kicks out of another Waist Sideslam. Rowan jumps to his feet, getting in the referee's face and arguing about the count. Cena slowly rises to his feet and notices Rowan distracted. He runs to the ropes, springboards off, but is caught with a forearm to the back of the head by Rowan. Rowan looks to deliver another Waist Sideslam, but is reversed by an elbow by Cena this time. Cena lifts Rowan again for an AA, but Rowan shoves off. Cena bounces off the ropes and delivers a shoulder block. Cena goes back to the ropes, but he's tripped up by Orton, as Orton swiped at his feet. The referee didn't see Orton's involvement as he once again restrains Cena from going after Orton. Rowan wastes no time in catching Cena off guard as he turns back around to face him as he lifts Cena up and delivers another Waist Sideslam and goes for the cover.

Erick Rowan pins the leader of the Cenation. He has his hand raised by the ref, and as he drops his arm, the lights go off again. When they come back on Rowan is nowhere to be found and Cena is left in the ring holding his waist. Orton then slides into the ring and begins to stalk Cena. Then the very moment Cena stands, Orton strikes and puts Cena down with an RKO. Cena is out as Orton stands over him, then Shane McMahon appears on the titantron. Shane has a clipboard in hand as he begins to address Cena and Orton.
Shane McMahon: Well, Cean. I'm impressed, you did better than I thought. You certainly have proven to me that you are ready to come back and compete at Survivor Series this Sunday. Oh and Orton, I guess there is only one thing I have to say to you... Welcome to RAW is WAR! ... That's right. The ink on the contract is still wet as I have officially made the trade to bring Randy Orton to RAW. Oh and Cena, I'm sure Orton's actions weren't random... Allow me to introduce the second member of team Punk... Randy Orton.
As Shane begins to smirk, Randy poses over the fallen Cena. The crowd boos as Orton begins to walk away as he has just shocked the SOOL Universe by bursting onto the RAW scene and making an impact with his arrival and announcement as a team Punk member. The camera then fades to to a backstage area where Ed Gonzalez is standing by for another exclusive interview.
*RAW is WAR continues as the camera goes backstage with Ed Gonzalez standing next to one half of the Tag Team Champions, Antonio Cesaro. Ed begins to speak to Cesaro.*
Ed Gonzalez: Cesaro, wait where's Tyson... Oh wait there he is. I didn't see him. We'll start with you Cesaro. Ever since you left the Alliance of Defiance and started to team with Tyson Kidd, you have been unstoppable. You've been practically untouchable since forming your team and you are the tag team champions, what do you think has attributed to your tag team success? It's been awhile since you were champion and you couldn't hit the stride with the A.O.D.
Cesaro- I'm glad you asked me that Ed. First off what has attributed to this teams success? One thing. intelligence. We have it in spades. I have been referred to as "The Swiss Superman" and that may be true but i am no means a brute. Tyson and myself are the two smartest individuals in all of SOOL. Bar none, we are untouchable in that ring. Our Psychology is unparalleled both in and outside the ring. we dissect our foes before they even get a chance to stop it. And yes Ed, as you said before my time in the AOD was less than stellar I agree. And its nothing against those men. I still keep in touch with Dolph to this day we are great friends and Allies. But as you can see with Mr. Heyman these days.. Lets just say he went from winners to..Well losers..
Ed Gonzalez: Damn losers huh? Brock Loser, I guess you're referring to. Alright, Tyson. What made you think of reaching out to Cesaro for a partner? Was it his credibility as a former two time World Heavyweight Champion?
Kidd: See that's kind of a funny story. Cesaro and I have been friends for years. Now to be fair the idea came from our wives who suggested we tag so I could return and Cesaro could get out of his rut.
Ed Gonzalez: Oh your wives set up this little bromance. Interesting... Well Kidd, is there any team out there that you see as the biggest competition to your titles?
Kidd: I going to be 100% honest, no one really. We made the A team quit and we've been beating every team that this company throws at us. Now a tag team I would like to face would be the New Day just so we can show them that the New Day SUCKS.
Ed Gonzalez: New Day? They must be on Smackdown because I've never heard of them. Cesaro, same question or are all the teams just not on your guys' level?
Cesaro- Well we have effectively dismantled all who have been put in front of us. But as far as "competition"? Everyone is competition. Some better than others. I think its pretty obvious who's on top and who's..well..Not us..Next question.
Ed Gonzalez: So tonight, you guys are taking on the Lucha Dragons. This is your first outing against them. What are your guys' thoughts on facing them?
Kidd: I have respect for Rey Mysterio and Juventud Guerrera but they are goldfish in a shark tank and it's feeding time.
Cesaro- I too Respect Psychosis and La Parka..Great guys...But like all the others they will fall to The Masters of the Universe.
Ed Gonzalez: Hahaha.... yeah that Max Mini and El Torito tag team is a joke. Alright, well let's throw this out there. Do you guys think you can break the records held by Rated RKO for longest title reigns and most successful title defenses? I don't doubt you guys, but I'm sure there was some controversy during their reign and I sure would like to see a dominant team like you guys come up and re-write the history books for the better.
Kidd: While I'm not the biggest Orton and Edge fan but I respect what they did as a team but they were never on our level and we will be the team to beat their records.
Cesaro- Rated RKO was at a time that this place was run by dinosaurs and corruption. Nobody really would step up and grab the brass rings around here. Well we did. And you could say we beat them over the head with them. Next Question.
Ed Gonzalez: Damn, a brass ring to the head. Sounds intense. You're right though, there reign was as ancient as dinosaurs. Rated RK-No thank you. So I got some rumors that you guys may be facing not, one but possibly 2 teams at Survivor Series... What are your guys thoughts on defending your titles against two teams?
Kidd: I don't care if it's two teams, we will always find a way to win because I believe we are the best team here. Also when the crowd is cheering for us and chanting our names, that means we are the best, so bring one, bring all we'll kill them all.
Cesaro- If it doesn't scream "conspiracy" then I don't know what does. Its no secret Commissioner Michael's and myself have never seen eye to eye on many things stemming from my time in the AOD so the fact that we are put in a match with two different teams is not surprising in the least but just like we have in all the others..we will excel.
Ed Gonzalez: I can understand that. Most champions don't get to pick who they face or how many teams they defend against. I got time for one more question. At Survivor Series, we got for the first time ever to World Title Elimination Chamber matches. Who do you guys think will come out as champions for RAW and Smackdown's chambers?
Kidd: I think it will be Rusev and Ziggler.
Cesaro- Having been in one of these not to long ago and surviving to the final three. You do just that. Survive. there are no winners and losers in that match..It is an absolute crap shoot. And the individual who uses there instincts and timing will be victorious and judging by what I've seen as of recent Id go with Finn Balor and Seth Rollins.
Ed Gonzalez: Ziggler, Rusev, Balor and Rollins? I'm not even sure who half those guys are. You guys must have some inside track or something but I personally think Chris Jericho and Bam Bam Bigelow are the favorites but we'll see what happens. I mean Jericho is the best in the world at what he does but whatevs. Anyhow, thanks for your time champs and best of luck tonight.
*Ed shakes both of their hands as the camera goes back to ringside.*
Singles Match
Dolph Ziggler vs Adrian Neville
Dolph Ziggler gets up celebrating his hard fought victory over Adrian Neville. After a couple of moments Adrian sits up looking down at the mat. He looks completely defeated. Neville gave it his all, and still came up short. Dolph noticing Adrian's sadness he walks over to him, and extends his hand. Neville looks up at Ziggler and looks at his hand. He grabs Ziggler's extended and is helped up. A slight smile comes across the face of Adrian Neville. Dolph raises Nevile's hand proudly, and pointing at him. The ref comes between both Ziggler, and Neville. He grabs both of their hands, and raises both of their hands in the air.
The crowd goes wild for the two men who just put on an incredible match.
The crowd turns to the stage as the lights go out in the arena, save the single spotlight that has come to signal the arrival of "The Last Outlaw" James Storm. Storm crouches in the spotlight before standing up, pointing up to the heavens. The Last Outlaw hums along with the music playing him to the ring as he rolls into said ring, kendo stick in one hand, a beer bottle in the other before beckoning for a microphone.
[James Storm]
Tonight...a new follower shall pledge to the Revolution! So those in the audience who wish to join along, place your hands over your hearts and stand upright! Shout along with me: "We are...The Revolution! We are...The Revolution!" Now...my pledge, get on out here, so we can initiate you...for the cause!
Storm awaits the arrival of his newest pledge, a gleeful, sick grin on his face before suddenly, an unknown piece of music blasts through the arena.
As the laughter fades out, an innocent-looking half-black/half-Asian woman skips out in a schoolgirl-like outfit, black pigtails bouncing along with the blue highlighted bangs in her face. She giggles as she looks towards the crowd, playing with the skirt attached to her hips with a nearly-psychotic look on her face as she skips down the ramp, sliding into the ring and immediately wrapping her arms tightly around Storm's neck, grinning against him.
[James Storm]
Ladies and gentlemen...the newest pledge to the cause...the newest member of the Revolution...Miss Mia Yim!
The crowd boos, causing Mia to pout, folding her arms over her chest before taking the microphone from James Storm.
[Mia Yim]
Do you people even know what's going on right now!? I...I'm about to be saved by this man! This great, amazing visionary before you, your Last Outlaw!
Storm simply smirks as he leans in, whispering in Mia's ear, causing her to perk up before handing him the microphone once again.
[James Storm]
The Revolution is here not as an enemy of you people but as a role model of the true light of this dark, dark place that you people live in! A world filled with sin, chaos, destruction. Just like those war-bent monsters who blew up Paris just this past weekend! That is the world you people have become accustomed to! Well no more! I am here to save SOOL from its own fiery destruction! I'm here not to destroy, but to enlighten, something that none of those sinful folk in that locker room would not dare do! That locker room is full of tattooed buffoons, cannabis-addicted junkies and washed-up old men! Those men are not the future of SOOL! The Revolution is the future! Of SOOL!
[James Storm]
I'm here to do what must be done around here! To bring SOOL to its knees, and then rechristen it in my vision! In my works! I will save you all, one person at a time. Just like...little Mia here. Her family has disowned her for her choices, and that's okay. Because I am saving her from her own misactions, and bringing her a new life here...in my Revolution!
Storm ruffles Yim's hair, causing her to giggle and grin. Storm smirks himself before grabbing the bottle of beer.
[James Storm]
Pledge...to the cause!
Holding her around the waist, Storm consoles Mia Yim with his propaganda, opening the bottle of beer before she tosses her head back, allowing him to pour it onto her, 'christening' Mia Yim into The Revolution as Storm laughs psychotically, petting her head before she grabs the kendo stick, twirling it around as one of her family members comes to the ring, trying to convince her otherwise.
However, her words go in one of Mia's ears and out the other, as she swings for the fences, striking her family member in his back, sending him down to the canvas in pain as she smiles maniacally alongside Storm.
[James Storm]
The Revolution...is upon us! Hahahaha!
Storm grabs Mia and cradles her head, kissing the top of it before both members of Storm's new Revolution exit the ring, walking up the ramp.
