We cut backstage to Vance Bateman's office. Vance is sitting at his desk talking on his phone when there is a knock at the door.
Vance: Come in.
The door swings open and Ascension General Manager Big Dave walks in, a look of annoyance on his face.
Dave: You needed to see me Vance?
Vance: Yes Dave, you see last week when you announced the World Title match between Barbosa and Ricky Runn for Meltdown 100, I was irate at first.
Dave can't help but smile at this as Vance waves it off dismissively.
Vance: However, then I got to thinking. Since you chose your big match to book, that means I still have mine in my pocket.
Dave: So what's it going to be then Vance?
Vance: You wanted to wrestle a few months back right? Well now you're going to get your chance.
The crowd pops at the news, as Dave smirks, rubbing his hands together.
Dave: Well I'm surprised you'd have me wrestling Vance. Who's my...
Just then the lights go out in the office for a few moments, and they return, Ty Burna standing behind Vance against the wall with his arms crossed. He slowly lifts his head up, staring directly at Big Dave.
Vance: I believe you have your answer Dave.
Dave looks towards Ty, the two rivals locked in a staredown.
Dave: You're working for Vance now Ty?
Ty says nothing but steps away from the wall and right into Dave's face. Ty's eyes suddenly flash red and he grits his teeth.
Dave: Coward. Of course you wouldn't be able to answer me. What's your deal Ty?
Ty remains silent and lifts one arm up and the room goes dark again before the lights come back up and Ty is gone. The tension on Dave's face remains, though he turns and begins to leave the office.
Vance: Oh and Dave, one last thing. Your match at Meltdown 100.
Dave turns around to face Vance, he now gritting his teeth knowing what's coming.
Vance: If you lose at Meltdown 100, you're fired as General Manager of Ascension!
Vance begins laughing as Dave lowers his head for a moment. He suddenly turns and gets right in Vance's face, forcing him to cower.
Dave: You know what they say about cornered animals Vance? All they have left to do is lash out!
Dave feigns a punch but Vance falls backwards, giving Dave the final laugh as he storms out of the office, slamming the door behind him as we go to commercial.

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
[YOUTUBE]z5rRZdiu1UE[/YOUTUBE]
Introducing first, from Union City, New Jersey, weighing 198 pounds, Saboteur!
Saboteur runs on stage and bounces around to the applause of the crowd. He runs up one side of the ramp slapping hands with the fans before he runs back up the opposite side. When he finally slides into the ring he raises his hands in the air to the roar of the crowd.
Copeland: Saboteur, who you have to think has some unfinished business with Runn after last week, will be looking to pick up as much momentum as possible headed into Unscripted.
Cohen: He can have all the momentum he wants Seabass, but this goof has shown in the past he isn't World Champion material. A completely BS decision at Apocalypse is the only reason he is even sniffing the strap right now.

And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 225 pounds, "The Swagtastic voice of a generation", Ricky Runn!
Ricky makes his way onto the stage, his rhinestone encrusted sunglasses glistening in the spotlight. Shortly after the lights come up, the swag pack steps on stage. With a swagger only he could muster, Runn makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring, Saboteur graciously sliding out of the ring. Runn pops off his jacket to a surprising pop from the ladies in the front row as they admire his glorious abs.
Cohen: Ricky Runn, the man with so much swag he sold 2 Chainz his second chain. What a treat we are in store for here tonight.
Copeland: Don't tell me you are condoning this behavior Jack.
Cohen: I'm starting to come around.
Jack Cohen puts on a pair of sunglasses, much to the dismay of Copeland. Before Saboteur is able to slide back into the ring, the swag pack surround him. Runn watches from inside the ring as his cronies close the circle tighter. Jurou Akiyama will have none of it however and bars the men from ringside, tossing them out. Runn pleads his case as Saboteur mocks the men being escorted away by ringside security.
Cohen: This is a travesty! How dare he throw out Runn's friends? They were simply out here to watch the future world champion secure a victory.
Copeland: Hopefully we get a fair fight now. Good call by the referee there.
With order restored Akiyama calls for the bell. Saboteur takes his time, staying on the outside as Runn also appears uninterested in engaging. Finally Saboteur jumps in, literally jumping in front of Runn and slapping him. Runn recoils before he rears back and lands a slap of his own. The two continue to slap each other back and forth until Saboteur knocks the glasses from Runn's face. The swag master responds by tackling Saboteur, before laying into him with a multitude of punches. Akiyama pulls Runn off his opponent as Saboteur gets back to his feet and throws up his fists in a comical manner, urging Runn to attack him again. The ref instructs the two to remain in neutral corners until he clears the ring of Runn's glasses, some of the rhinestones having come off in the ruckus. As the ref kicks the debris from the ring Runn sneaks up and rolls up Saboteur just as the ref turns back around.

Thr-Saboteur manages to kick out!
Copeland: Thankfully Saboteur kicks out, as Runn almost stole one there.
As both men pop back to their feet Saboteur manages to gain the upper hand with a couple of swift kicks, keeping Runn from engaging. He backs Runn into the ropes and unleashes with a vicious chop across the chest before he whips his opponent across the ring. Runn initially ducks an attempted clothesline, but Saboteur connects with a Pele kick. It only manages to put Runn down to a knee as it connected with his shoulder. Saboteur follows it up with a dropkick to the face and quickly scrambles into a cover.

But Runn is able to get the shoulder up with ease. Saboteur tries to lift Runn to his feet, but Runn pushes him away. Saboteur rushes back in, but Runn manages to trip him up with a drop toe hold. He follows it up with a few stomps before Saboteur crawls to the ropes and forces a break. Runn backs away and allows Sabotuer to stand before he rushes in. Sabotuer manages to drop Runn over the top rope, but the agile superstar hangs on and lands on the apron. Saboteur turns to fire off a punch, but Runn ducks between the ropes and stops him with a shoulder barge. He then springboards into the ring with a sharp kick that connects square to the jaw of the masked superstar. Runn tumbles through the kick when he gets back to his feet he drags Saboteur back to his. Runn hits a couple of right hands and follows it up with a few knife edged chops, backing Saboteur into the corner. Runn attempts to monkey flip Saboteur out of the corner, but the former two time tag champion holds onto the top rope. He hops to the second turnbuckle as Runn gets back to his feet. Saboteur leaps and connects with a tornado DDT. He hooks the leg of Runn.

Runn gets a shoulder up.
Copeland: What back and forth action thus far. Neither man has been able to mount for than a few moves in a row before the other takes over.
Cohen: You have two men both on the title trail Seabass, they won't go away easy. Even if one of them is a masked goof like Saboteur.
Saboteur slams his hands to the mat in frustration, allowing Runn time to fully recover. Both men get to their feet and Saboteur takes a wild swing at Runn. Runn ducks and connects with a reverse mat slam, the Hell Yeah! He hooks the leg.

Saboteur kicks out and Runn slams a fist to the canvas. He drags Saboteur to his feet and calls for The Ricky Runndown. He sets up Saboteur for the half nelson backstabber, but Saboteur hangs onto the top rope, leaving Runn to crash to the floor. Saboteur takes a quick glance around as Runn gets back to his feet. He springboards off the ropes, hitting a springboard Super Saboteur! He forgoes the pinfall and heads to the top rope. He calls for the finish and leaps for Airborne Assassin.
Copeland: When this hits, its all over.
Saboteur rotates and connects with a picture perfect moonsault. After the initial impact, he hooks the leg.

Copeland: What in the hell?

Saboteur is able to kick out, but it is too late. Barbosa throws Donny J into the ring post before he slides into the ring, just as Runn slides out. He hops the barricade and disappears into the crowd, leaving Barbosa standing in anger in the ring. As Barbosa turns he sees Saboteur standing before him. The two come face to face, staring intently at each other as the copyright information flashes on screen.
