Universal Championship Wrestling

[TSG]

SHOW 1: New Orleans, Louisiana


The camera pans throughout New Orleans Arena as the building is packed with rabid fans ready to see wrestling action. Creative signs and such fill the arena who cheer and scream as "Jackpot" plays throughout the arena.


Josh Matthews:
Welome everyone to UCW! I am Josh Matthews, alongside my partner Michael Cole here to present an amazing night of wrestling!

Michael Cole:
That's enough Matthews, they want to hear their favorite broadcast journalist now! And for once, Josh is right, as we have a great night lined up. In the main event, a 10 man Battle Royale will crown the UCW World Heavyweight Champion!

Josh Matthews:
Plus, Curt Hawkins and Daniel Bryan will do battle, and Zack Ryder will be in action! But now, our General Manager is scheduled to speak to us.


The crowd quickly boos at the theme of one of the most notorious and hated men in the pro wrestling business: Eric Bischoff. He steps on stage wearing a leather jacket and black suit, with his pattened black hair looking finely combed. He has a grin a country mile wide on his face as he struts to the ring. He has a microphone in hand, and steps into the ring ready to address the crowd.

Eric Bischoff:
I'm Back, baby! Back in Black and better than ever!

The crowd boos, still unsure of Bischoff's agenda as GM.

Eric Bischoff:
I'm gonna make this short and sweet, and then introduce our first match. First, for those of you that have been living under a rock since the 1980's, I am Eric Bischoff! The man who revolutionized pro wrestling, and damn near put Vincent K. McMahon out of the business. And I am here now to run UCW! Now, there is much more I will get to at a later date. But right now. I would like to unveil the UCW World Championship.

The camera pans to ringside, where a shiny gold belt is sitting in a glass case. He has the time keeper lift it out and hand it to him. He raises it above his head for all to see, as the crowd oh's and aw's.

Eric Bischoff:
This is the glorious prize that will be the cornerstone of this company! And tonight, it will be awarded to the winner of our main event!

The crowd pops wildly for this.

Eric Bischoff:
Ten of the biggest stars in this business: Cody Rhodes, Bobby Roode, CM Punk, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Kane, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Triple H, and John Cena will meet in a Battle Royale of epic proportions, and one man will walk away. With this around their waist! Until then, I will keep this belt in my safe keeping. Enjy the show!

"I'm Back" plays again as Bischoff walks out of the ring and to the back, as the crowd finally cheers one of his ideas. As he walks back, a young man who is identified as Matt Cross walks out and slides into the ring, to no entrance music. It is announced the following is the first match of the evening, and is scheduled for one fall.


"Radio" hits as the crowd immediately boos, as The Long Island Iced Z steps on stage with a swagger, pulling out his usual theatrics. The crowd is not impressed, as he signals for the ladies to call him before giving a shout of "Woo Woo Woo, You Know It" with a fist pump in tandem. He heads to the ring as the commentators discuss the match.


Josh Matthews:
For Matt Cross, this match-up offers everything to win and nothing to lose. This kid had been a star on the independent circuit for years, and this is a tryout match for him. A win could earn him a contract here in UCW, which has been guaranteed to some, and for others they'll try to earn one.

Michael Cole:
Of course, Zack Ryder has a guaranteed contract, as he is an athlete and superstar of elite caliber, and not some vanilla kid who couldn't even make the cut on Tough Enough.

Josh Mathews:
My God, do you ever shut up Cole?

Michael Cole:
Did you ever consider you should be the one shutting up, Josh. I am a Slammy Award winning announcer and the voice of this product. Not only am I a color commentator, providing the personality to your rather dull anouncing, but I am a broadcast journalist, and I give these fans what they need to hear.

Josh Matthews:
Ugh..

Match 1: Zack Ryder vs. Matt Cross

Zack Ryder taunts his smaller opponent, clearly confident for the upcoming match. He let's out a loud shout of "Woo Woo Woo" to the crowd, and they respond with a chorus of boos, not the answer he was wanting. He turns to Cross, and flashes the "L" with his right hand, calling Cross a loser. Suddenly, fed up with Ryder's cockiness, Cross charges the ring and attacks Ryder, beginning the match. He delivers numerous elbows and kicks to the torso and head of Ryder, backing him into a corner. He takes a few steps back, before hitting a step-up kick to the chest, taking the breath out of Ryder.

The Long Island native stumbles to the center of the ring, where Cross runs at him from behind and leaps over his shoulders, snapping him to the ground face first. Cross leaps to his feet and jumps up and down, showing a great amount of energy and passion. Cross climbs the turnbuckle, waisting no time, stalking Ryder to his feet. As The Broski turns, Cross flies from the top and connects with the crossbody, taking his momentum into a pinfall.

And Ryder kicks out early on two, not falling to defeat. Cross drags himself and Ryder to their feet, and fires away with fists to the head. He whips Ryder into the ropes and hits him on the rebound with a wheel kick. The crowd is rallying behind the high impact offense and underdog fight of Cross, and chants of "Let's Go Cross" rise through the arena in the early going. The commentators are surprised at the offense, expressing awe at Cross's talent and energy. Cross hits the ropes and comes back with a leg drop on Ryder. Cover by Cross.

And Ryder still kicks out, this time midway through the two count. He pushes Cross off of him, and looks frustrated at his inability to gain any offense in the beginning. He stands and dodges a shot from Cross, and counters with a clothesline. Matt goes down, and but gets back up quickly to meet another clothesline. He goes down harder this time, and when he stands again is put down with a running big boot, as the crowd starts to die down and Ryder gains momentum. He goes for the cover.

And Cross gets his shoulder up. But Ryder won't be discouraged with momentum in his corner. He proceeds to wear down Cross with a variety of slams and other high impact moves, before driving him back-first into a turnbuckle. Tired, Cross slumps to a sitting position. Ryder backs up and flashes the "L" again, this one for Long Island, before charging at Cross and hitting a Broski Boot! Cross looks lifeless as Ryder proceeds to drag him to the center of the ring and to his feet. He taunts Cross, and proceeds to throw punches at him, like a cat playing with a mouse. But suddenly Cross strike back, as his last chance instinct kicks in. He goes for more shot and dazes Ryder, before sending him into the ropes and hitting a back drop, sending Ryder to the mat. He then stumbles a bit, still hurting. He waits for Ryder to get back up, and goes for a clothesline. But Ryder ducks, and hits a hard neckbreaker on Cross. Back in charge, Ryder signals for the end and waits for Cross to rise. He has something set up, and as Cross turns, Zack charges for the Rough Ryder and connects! He goes for the cover.

Winner: Zack Ryder by pinfall.

"Radio" hits as Ryder hops to his feet, and struts some more to celebrate. His theatrics continue, as the crowed bombards him with boos. Ryder is happy with his work, and wears a wide grin as the show goes to commercial.​

 

[TSG]

As we come back from commercial, Matt Striker is waiting with John Cena. We see Striker nod as he realizes he is on the air and ready to interview.

Matt Striker:
Welcome back, folks. I am here with John Cena. Now, John, as we heard earlier, you will compete for the UCW World Heavyweight Championship tonight. This is your opportunity to make your mark and become face of this company on the first night. How do you plan to go into this match?

John Cena:
Well, Matt, I am a simple man, really. I don't hide behind managers, or valets. I don't talk a lot, spewing empty words like many. I'm just here to kick people's asses and win titles, while entertaining all of my loyal fans. And that's the only way I can go into this match this evening. I know have the support of the CeNation, all of my Chang Gang soldiers are out tonight. They have followed me throughout my career and for that I am thankful. And I will go in the ring tonight and do what I do best. Kick people's butts, and leave with gold around my waist.

Matt Striker:
It all sounds great, John. But, there are many obstacles in your way. How do you plan on getting around them?

John Cena:
Matt, there is no doubt I am one of the hardest working and toughest men in this industry. My career has been built thoroughly on Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. I believe with that, no man can beat me. So that's exactly how I will get through the obstacles in my path toni-

Suddenly sarcastic clapping is heard in the background. The camera shows Triple H, fully clad in sunglasses, and a full black suit, walk in the picture. He is chewing on some gum with a water bottle and suitcase in hand. having just arrived. But he is apparently fully aware of his match tonight.

Triple H:
Very impressive talk John, very impressive. But the thing hear is, that's all it is John. Talk. Tonight, you say your hustle and loyalty and so-forth will help you win. But the truth is, that doesn't win matches. And neither do your little nine year old boys and teenage woman fans. What wins matches, is being ruthless! And John, I am ruthless. I am one cold-hearted son-of-a-bitch and I will stop at nothing to win what I most desire: World Championships. And all of your talk means nothing to me. Because tonight, I will win. Because I am The Game, and I am that...damn...good! Now Matt, do you happen to know where my locker room is?

Matt Striker:
That way.

Triple H, without allowing Cena to respond, heads in the direction Striker points, leaving Cena with a very pissed off look on his face. The crowd boos as Triple H saunters off.


As we return to the arena, Curt Hawkins is waiting in the ring, stretching and playing to the crowd to moderate boos, waiting for his opponent.


"The Final Countdown" hits as the crowd pops very loudly for the "American Dragon", entering to his old, familiar theme. He has on a long robe that reads "Best in the World" as he walks down the ramp towards the ring. He walks up the ring steps and into the ring, climbing the turnbuckle to sing the chorus of his theme along with his fans. He removes his robe and stretches a bit, ready to compete.

Spoiler

Match 2: Curt Hawkins vs. Daniel Bryan

The two men circle each other in the ring, as the referee calls for the opening bell. Bryan signals to pump the crowd up, as the fans in New Orleans are fully behind him. The two men walk to the center of the ring and meet in a grapple. Bryan gets the advantage with a rear waist lock but Hawkins reverses it. The two trade holds in the center of the ring in the opening stages of the match, as neither man can get an advantage in the first few minutes. Many counters, submissions and grapples are exchanged as the superstars battle for an edge.
As the match advances on, Bryan takes control with a pair of suplexes and goes for a quick cover.

And Hawkins kicks out quickly. Bryan rolls to his feet and picks Hawkins back up with him. He uses his strength, and he whips Hawkins into the turnbuckle. Hawkins crashes into the corner with an impact and is stunned as Bryan comes running in with a clothesline. Hawkins falls into the ropes, dazed. Bryan goes back on the attack with forearms and elbows. At this point Bryan takes control of the match-up, going on the ground attack. He tosses different mat holds at Hawkins, focusing his attack on the arms and back, presumably to set up for Cattle Mutilation. Bryan keeps on the attack for a few minutes, ending it with a variety of suplexes to put Hawkins down.

And Hawkins manages to kick out, showing that he isn't giving up easily. Hawkins is worn out from the attack, and is showing it, but manages to shove Bryan off to gain breathing room. He recaptures just enough energy to conjure up an attack against Bryan, as he hits one dropkick, followed by another on Bryan. He goes for a quick pinfall.

But Bryan does not stay down long. But men get back to their feet and Hawkins goes back on the attack once more. Hip toss by Hawkins takes Bryan to the mat, and Hawkins hits the ropes and rebounds with an elbow drop. Another cover by Hawkins.

And another kick out by Bryan. As he trys to fight out from under Hawkins, Curt locks in a headlock. He attempts to wear Bryan down, and holds on until Bryan starts to lose breath. As he fades, Hawkins stands, and delivers a swift kick to the spine of Bryan. This sends a scream of agony up from Bryan's throat, as he writhes on the ground. He stalks around Bryan until he stands, and leaps to hit a Backstabber on him. Hawkins leaps to his feet with a swagger about him, and struts across the ring, taunting Bryan and the crowd. He give a throaty shout to the crowd, and walks back over as Bryan picks himself up. He lifts Bryan up and locks in a rear waist hold. He hooks the leg and drops him with a belly-to-back suplex, transitioning into the cover.

And Bryan kicks out yet again, at the final second. Frustrated, Hawkins slides out of the ring. He is tired of trying to put Bryan away, and the crowd realizes it as Hawkins picks up a chair from the bell-keeper's area. He slides the chair in the ring as he follows. Bryan is up and turns around, and walks right into a hard chair shot from Hawkins. The referee calls for disqualification as Daniel Bryan gains a bittersweet victory. But he doesn't seem to be set for a celebration, as Hawkins still stalks him with a chair.

Winner: Daniel Bryan by disqualification

Josh Matthews:
It's a shame that this match had to end like this. These two men were having a great battle in the ring and Hawkins had to pull a dirty, snake-like move such as this. How disgusting! Someone needs to stop him and get Bryan some help out here.

Michael Cole:
Well, Josh, Hawkins couldn't put him down one way, so he chose the next best option. Bryan had it coming, if you ask me. He always walks around saying he is the best wrestler in the world, when he is just a vegan nerd!

Suddenly, as Hawkins stalks Bryan for another shot, cheers rise from the crowd as they see "The HeartBreak Kid" Shawn Michaels emerge from backstage, running to the ring to save his former trainee. Hawkins drops the chair and exits the ring, before hopping the barricade to save himself from any attack Michaels may have tried. Michaels stares down Hawkins to let him know this is not over, before helping the referee tend to Bryan.


Josh Matthews:
Well folks, as Daniel Bryan is being checked on, we will go to commercial break, but make sure to stick around to see our final match of the evening, as we will crown the first ever World Heavyweight Champion in Universal Championship Wrestling!​

 

[TSG]

Back from commercial, Matt Striker is waiting with a microphone.

Matt Striker:
My guest at this time, Cody Rhodes!

Rhodes walks into view with a "Dashing" look on his face.

Matt Striker:
Cody, coming up next, you will enter a ten-man battle royale. If you win, you will be crowned UCW World Champion. What is your strategy for this match?

Cody Rhodes:
Matt, I would love to share my genius strategy with you, and trust me - it's far better than anybody else's - but a true champion never reveals his strategy. You never know who may be listening.

Matt Striker:
Fair enough. Now some people are thinking that you are the man with the least experience and the smallest chance to win. What is your response to this criticism?

Cody Rhodes:
Well Matt, quite frankly, those people can say whatever they, because in the end, I don't give a damn. And it also doesn't give a damn what they think. They'll say I'm nothing but a pretty boy. And it is true - I am one of the most handsome men alive! I am what Abercrombie and Fitch models wish they could look like. But these people are just haters. They're jealous because I look better, I fight better, I'm more athletic, and I get the girls they could only dream of. I am living the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and they can't handle it!

The crowd is really letting Cody hear it at this point, booing him crazily.

Cody Rhodes:
I was just supposed to be a plumber, or carpenter, or have some other meaningless, demeaning job. I was supposed to be a common man, just like my father, who only happened to catch a break. I was supposed to be average - just like all of them. But they can't handle the fact that I made it. And neither can many of my fellow competitors. But they can hate all they want, make up rumours, continue to demean me. I will prove them wrong. Because I am the Dashing One, and I will dash all of their dreams! And they continue to hate, because their actions, their strategies, their words, are all the same: they're all just smoke and mirrors to me.

Cody Rhodes walks aways, leaving the fans booing and Striker stunned. But Samoa Joe walks into frame, watching Rhodes leave, and apparently wants some mic time of his own.

Samoa Joe:
May I, Matt?

Matt Striker:
Sure, Joe. Anything you'd like to say, feel free.

Samoa Joe:
Well, there's a few things I'd like to say. You have all these guys here, thinking there going to be the champ, or the next big thing, or whatever. Take Cody Rhodes for example: walking around back here like he is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well all of these young punks are overlooking one thing. I am here as well. I have fought in this business for over a decade. Struggled on the independent circuit, dominated all divisions in TNA, and through it all, I have never slowed down or shown mercy. I may be friendly enough, but I am true friends with few, and trust even less. And I promise when I get in that ring, there are no friends. I turn into a machine, and nothing in my path will stop me in this company. These young kids think they're special, even some of these vets think the same. But after tonight, they'll only be hearing four words: Joe's Gonna Kill You!

Samoa Joe hands the mic back to Striker as he walks away.

We cut back to the arena as cheers rise up from the crowd. Suddenly music plays.


The crowd instantly boos as they hear the theme, as "Smoke and Mirrors" signifies the arrival of Cody Rhodes. He struts onstage, and admires himself in his mirror mini-tron. He turns with a grin on his and walks to the ring. As he walks down the ramp..


A pyrotechnic explosion shocks the crowd and raises the temperature as the Monster, Kane, walks out from behind the curtains. He tugs the glove on his hand as he emerges from the flames. A close-up on his face shows a cold, calculating look as he walks slowly and menacingly towards the ring. Josh Matthews tells the crowd they have to head to one more commercial, and stay tuned for the main event!

------------------------------

As we return and nine of the ten competitors are in the ring. One is noticiable by his absence. And then..


The lights darken and colors flash over the ring and stage area. A shadow emerges from behind the curtain and slowly walks forward. He twists a cap off his water bottle and takes a swig. He pours some over his hair and spits it out before shaking his head and walking to the ring. He gets to the bottom of the ramp, and stares down his competition. He takes another drink and tosses a water bottle souvenir to some lucky fan. He steps on the apron and waits a second, before posing and spitting the water out. He steps through the ropes andstares thoroughly at the men in the ring. The lighting returns to normal as the referee takes a beautiful gold belt and calls for it to be raised above the ring, for safe keeping until after the match.

Match 3: 10 Man Battle Royale for UCW World Heavyweight Championship

All ten competitors stand in the ring. Cody Rhodes, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Triple H, CM Punk, Bobby Roode, Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton, Kane, and John Cena. A combination of some of the best stars in the business. The referee calls for the opening bell as the ten men stare each other down, but also keeping their eyes on the prize the has been raised above the ring for all to see, in shades of a ladder match. And at the end of the night, they know it will be lowered for one man to call his own. Suddenly, all hell breaks lose. Who makes the first move, is hard to tell, but one thing is for sure: these ten men are ready to beat the holy hell out of each other.

The camera view goes to the corner, watching Kane deliver hard blows to Shawn Michaels in the corner. Across the ring, we see John Cena battling with Triple H and Randy Orton, as former Evolution teammate decide to ally with each other. Roode and Punk battle it out with each other in another corner. Meanwhile in the center of the ring, Joe delivers a high and hard belly-to-back suplex to Styles. AJ hits the mat with a thud and writhes around, as Joe is back to his feet and on the attack. Stiff kicks to the back and neck of Styles send screams of pain from his throat. He rolls over to Cody Rhodes who immediately goes on the attack. Joe turns around right into the Devil's Favorite Demon: Kane. Michaels is down in the corner and the two big men look to battle early in this contest. Chants of "Joe's Gonna Kill You" ring out through the building, as Kane signals for the famous cut throat in Joe's face.

And then they go at it. A right from Joe, a left from Kane, and the blows continue to exchange. Kane staggers Joe, and whips him into the ropes. Joe rebounds and tosses his body weight at Kane, with a raising kick to the head. Both men go down. Joe comes back up first, as Kane is stunned. The Samoan Machine turns around, and walks into...Sweet Chin Music! HBK is back up and firing, as Joe goes down. He shows off to the crowd and - RKO! Out of nowhere Orton delivers an RKO to Michaels! The Viper has a cold look in his eyes, and turns around to face his ally Triple H. But with all the other men battling and a title on the line, the friendship quickly disappears. The two men come to blows, as each fights for an advantage. Suddenly, AJ comes up from behind and goes after The Game. He hits shots to the head to daze Triple H, and follows with a Pele Kick! AJ is excited but Randy Orton isn't. He turns Styles around and hits a vicious RKO! Orton stands with a calculating look in his eyes and turns straight into a Chokeslam! Kane is back up and in the match, and the action is non-stop. But suddenly Kane is attacked from behind by Cody Rhodes and Bobby Roode, as they blindside him and dump him to the floor.

Kane has been eliminated.

Rhodes and Roode high five each other, happy with the teamwork. Roode turns to taunt the crowd, when Rhodes tosses him over the rope as well!

Bobby Roode has been eliminated.

Rhodes backs out of the spotlight as Cena and Triple H are now going at it in the center of the ring. Cena whips The Game into the ropes but as he rebounds he connects with a "Double A" Spinebuster! Cena thuds with an impact as Triple H comes up with an explosion of energy. Styles and Joe are going at it in one corner, as Michaels is stomping away at Orton in another corner. Triple H decides to join Michaels in the attack on The Viper, as in eyeshot Rhodes hits a Beautiful Disaster kick to take out a rising Punk. He then decides it's time to pick up the scraps, and heads for Cena. He goes on the attack, stomping away on Cena. John rolls to the ropes and grabs onto them to pull himself up, but Rhodes keeps kicking away, and hits a jumping, diving knee to the the chest to finish. Meanwhile back in the center of the ring, the action is going fast between AJ and Joe. Joe whips him into the ropes and catches him on the rebound with a Northern Lights Suplex, flinging him across the ring. AJ rolls to the ring apron, and pulls himself up slowly. Joe comes charging with a big boot but AJ ducks, and responds with a kick to the head to stun Joe. Styles uses the ropes to regain himself, and springboards up and into the ring with a clothesline to take out Joe!

The match drags on for some competitors secluded in corners of the ring as Joe and Styles still take center stage. No one seems to interfere with the two, feeling safer fighting their own battles or resting. Styles is back up and drags Joe with him, whipping him into the ropes and hitting a spinning elbow to the jaw of Joe. The Samoan is dazed, but as Styles goes for a DDT, he seems to wake a bit. He tosses Styles face first onto the mat, and he lands hard with a thud. Styles sits up in pain as Joe hits the ropes and comes back with a dropkick to the face. Joe is worn down and a bit hurt, but is now set on eliminating his long time counterpart. Joe drags AJ up, and sends him flying into the ropes. And Styles gets tangled up in them. Joe sees an oppurtunity and charges with a clothesline, but his momentum takes them both over the ropes! Styles hits the floor hard, but Joe holds on.

AJ Styles has been eliminated.

Joe pulls himself back up and turns to enter the ring when BAM! CM Punk is there with a hard kick to the skull that sends Joe tumbling to the floor.

Samoa Joe has been eliminated.

Punk turns around right into a dropkick by Rhodes, sending him dangerously close to falling out of the ring. Punk manages to stabalize himself on the ropes though, and dares Rhodes to come at him. Rhodes goes for a clothesline, but the wily Punk pulls down the ropes as Rhodes falls over top. Rhodes almost falls to the ground, but secures position on the apron, before leaning back with a kick to the head of Punk. Rhodes, still in a precarious spot, decides to take a risk. Michaels battles Orton and Triple H battle Cena across the ring, so Rhodes decides to climb a turnbuckle, as Punk makes his way back up. The Straight Edge Superstar rises and turns, and walks into a flying crossbody from Rhodes! Both men are down, as the focus switches to the corner. Michaels has Orton on his shoulders, and drops him with an inverted atomic drop! Orton is stunned, and Michaels hits the ropes and flies back with a forearm smash. Michaels is down, but the crowd senses what's coming next.

Michaels comes alive with the kip-up, and has an energy about him. HHH and Cena still fight in a corner away from him, and now it's Shawn's turn to go high-risk. He climbs to the top turnbuckle and plays for the crowd, realizing what is coming. An elbow is coming to the heart of Orton, and the crowd is eager to see it. But suddenly the cheers turn to boos, in confusion to Michaels. But then out of nowhere, Curt Hawkins hops the barricade and climbs the apron. Michael tries to kick him away, but the distraction has taken too much time. Cody Rhodes sneaks up behind and shoves Michaels to the floor, ending Michael's quest for the title tonight.

Shawn Michaels has been eliminated.

Hawkins leasurely hops off of the apron and gets in Michael's face, with a wide grin on his face. You can hear him yell "you shouldn't have gotten in my way, Shawn" before he hops back over the barricade and walks away to a bombardment of boos. Meanwhile, the camera switches back to the ring where action is still going on. Rhodes is going toe to toe with Orton now. Orton has the advantage and lifts Rhodes up with an Olympic Slam, going into Viper mode. Meanwhile, Cena and Punk battle in the corner while The Game is down in another corner. Cena lifts Punk up and hooks the leg, dropping him with a Fisherman's brainbuster. Meanwhile, Rhodes is hurting and rolls under the rope to the apron, in prime position for a signature Orton DDT. Orton grabs Rhodes by the neck with a cold and vicious look in his eyes, and prepares to drop him. But suddenly, Triple H comes from behind and dumps Orton over the top rope!

Randy Orton has been eliminated.

And there were four. Cody Rhodes, John Cena, CM Punk, and Triple H. One of these four men are three eliminations away from a World Title reign. Triple H goes after Punk, and Cena after Rhodes, as two seperate battles go on in the ring. Cena whips Rhodes into the ropes, and as Rhodes rebound Cena catches him, and hits a spinning side slam. Cena hops to his feet and raises his hand in the air. He signals to Rhodes that "You Can't See Me" and propels himself into the ropes. He comes back to hit the Five Knukle Shuffle but Punk is waiting with a spin kick! Punk stuns Cena and quickly hits the ropes and springboards back with a crossbody. But Cena catches Punk! He uses raw strength to lift Punk onto his shoulders, as the crowd gasps and cheers. He walks over to try and deliver an impactful AA over the top rope, but Punk grasps onto the ropes for dear life, trying to save himself. Suddenly Rhodes charges at Cena, trying to dump both men out. Cena reacts quickly, dropping Punk and ducking, forcing Rhodes to stop quickly. He turns and Triple H is right there with a stiff uppercut. All four men are in one small area, a precarious one at that. Cena and Punk are lying next to eachother on the mat watching Rhodes and Triple H battle it out.

The Game hits a stiff right hand to the jaw, further dazing Rhodes. He delivers a hard kick to the gut of Rhodes, before whipping him across the ring. He hits the ropes and come back as Triple H tries to backdrop Rhodes over the top. But Cody manages to land on his feet on the apron. Triple H turns to meet a stiff punch from Rhodes, followed by a headbutt. The Game staggers back, in pain. Rhodes steps back into the ring, but before he makes it Punk is up out of nowhere and lowers his shoulder into Rhodes, knocking him backwards into the barriade and to the floor!

Cody Rhodes has been eliminated.

And it was down to three. Triple H is resting on one side of the ring, as Cena and Punk go right back at it. They exchange lefts and rights, but Punk gets the upper hand. He locks in a headlock and drops to one knee, wrenching the head of Cena. He takes his time, before snapping Cena onto his back and locking in the Anaconda Vice! Cena is now in extreme pain. Struggling and writhing on the mat, Cena taps out repeatedly, but to no avail in a Battle Royale. Punk let's Cena struggle some more before eventually releasing, but the damage has been done. Punk turns and sees Triple H heading at him full steam. Punk ducks, and The Game flies by. As he stops and turns around, Punk is waiting and hits a quick snap suplex. Punk hops back to his feet, as Triple H gingerly rises. Punk stalks Triple H, and this time hits an enzuiguri kick, sending Triple H falling into the ropes. All three men are tired, but Punk has firm control at this point. He follows Triple H and whips him all the way across the ring, and lets him come back straight into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Punk now has both Triple and John Cena now, and is looking to be very close to becoming World Champion. As Triple H rolls to the ropes, Punk drops to one knee, tapping his wrist. He let's out an enthusiastic shout of "It's Clobberin' Time" before standing back up.

He slowly walks to Cena, still down, with a swagger in his step, seemingly taunting his competitors and the crowd with his strut. The crowd is booing him to no end, and Punk is soaking it all up. He picks John up, and lifts him on his shoulders, looking for a GTS! He walks to the center of the ring, and sets up, but Cena slips off his shoulder! He was playing possum! He shoves Punk straight into Triple H waiting at the ropes, who sends him out of the ring to the floor!

CM Punk has been eliminated.

Punk cannot believe it. He looked a few minutes away from a championship and is now eliminated. Even the fans who were booing him seem shocked, that his control went downhill quickly. But they cheer loud as Punk is absolutely livid and furious. Meanwhile Cena and Triple H, worn down and tired, meet in the center of the ring. It has been a long main event, and it's not over. They look above at the prize that awaits one of them. The two competitors then stare each other on the eyes, toe-to-toe. You can see the two mouth words to each other when suddenly Triple H slaps him in the face! Cena turns around and goes off on The Game. Cena brawls The Game into the corner, and lowers his shoulder into his gut repeatedly. He whips Triple H into the opposite turnbuckle, and follows going for a clothesline when - BAM! - he meets a big boot from Triple H. Cena staggers back, and Triple H whips Cena into the ropes. A big spinning spinebuster takes Cena to the mat, but Triple H seems out of energy. Both men are down, as the crowd is in suspense.

Both men make it to their feet about the same time, and turn to face each other. They meet in the center and slug it out, with lefts and right. Triple H has the advantage though, and goes for a clothesline. Cena manages to duck at the last second, and quickly lifts Triple H on his shoulders! Attitude Adjustment connects! Now Cena must find a way to lift The Game over the ropes. He drags the dead weight of Triple H to the side of the ring, and tries to lift him up. Cena's strength is drained this long into the match, and only manages to hang Triple H on the ropes. He stops and thinks a moment, pondering his options. He eventually decides to turn Triple H around, facing himself. Cena then backs up for momentum, looking to clothesline Triple H out. He runs at the Cerebral Assasian, but is met with a shark kick to the stomach. Triple H desperately hits yet another kick to the gut, and manages to lock in the underhook on Cena signaling the move the crowd knows. Triple H jumps and nails Cena with The Pedigree! The Game has little to no energy left, but manages to lift Cena up. He grabs Cena by the head and tosses him over the top, and wins the UCW World Championship!

John Cena has been eliminated.

Winner: Triple H

"The Game" blares throughout the arena as the referee raises Triple H's hand before he collapses to the mat. The belt lowers from it's perch above the ring to it's winner, as confetti falls from the ceiling. John Cena sits up on the floor with a distraught look on his face. He is visibly shaken and not winning, as The Game clutches the title on the mat in the ring, holding onto it for dear life. Confetti continues to fall as Cena rolls back into the ring. He stands above Triple H as the crowd is unsure what is about to happen. Cena offers his hand to pick Triple H up, and he accepts. Triple H makes it to his feet and shakes Cena's hand. Cena goes to pull away and - NO! - The Game pulls him back in. Kick to the gut, and another Pedigree! Triple H continues to celebrate in the ring, and stands over Cena doing his signature pose, title belt in hand.

Suddenly, the lights flicker off. The music cuts, as you can hear the fans go silent, with gasps and screams heard. No one knows what is happening. You can hear electrical sounds, followed by static sounds as the titantron turn white with static. It turns black again, and suddenly words begin to light up on it.

Here...

Comes...

The...

Pain!

The crowd goes wild!


The building explodes as Triple H has a shocked look on his face. The camera pans to the entrance stage as Josh Matthews is going crazy at the desk. Then, a shadow walks from behind the curtain. Brock Lesnar has arrived. He steps onstage and jogs in place. He brings his hands up and then down forcefully, and heads to the ring. He struts down the ramp and stares Triple H in the eye from the floor. The Game is still shocked, as Lesnar hops on the ring apron, causing pyro to explode in the air. He steps through the ropes and gets in the face of Triple H. The Game spits out some words at Lesnar and - BAM! - kick to the gut of Triple H! He drops the title as Lesnar lifts him up on his shoulders and nails an F5!

Lesnar's music plays again, as he stands over the now limp body of Triple H. He signals around his waist he wants the title, before picking it up and raising it above is head to a wild pop from the fans, and Lesnar is the last image seen as the screen fades black.

Jam's Review
​

First of all, welcome back to the section Sign Guy. Good to have you back. Here's a review for you.

Hmm, so maybe a backstory would have been nice here but I think I know what happened. You just got a great idea and decided to write it and I understand how that is, I get that. Anyway, with Bischoff as your GM, your show should be very controversial as him as the higher power. Also, a list of who's on your roster would've been nice as we have to guess who's on board for tonight. Opening promo was short and sweet, and that's fine. Having the unveiling of the World Title was a nice touch to the beginning of the show. Wish you didn't have Cole on the show quite honestly. We already have Bischoff but Cole too, damn. Haha.

So Ryder is a heel. Hmm, I really can't imagine him as a heel now with his WWE run as of late but that's quite alright. I've seen some matches with Matt Cross so I wasn't at a total loss here. Pretty good opening match man. Having spoilers is something different and adds to the format of your show.

Hmm, Cena did not sound like Cena here to be honest. But your promo did get its message across. With HHH interrupting, I bet they'll probably be in a feud later on so I don't expect either of them to be winning or one of them will win.

A match with Hawkins and Danielson is a match I want to see. I think Hawkins is really underrated and that Danielson always can put on a good match. Sad to see the ending happen like this but a development occurs with HBK saving Danielson. Hmm, I don't exactly know what to make of this. But I'm intersted in it nonetheless.

Now this I like. Bringing Cody's “Dashing” gimmick will be good. A Cody/Joe feud will be pretty interesting. I'm imagining that Joe is still the badass that he was in TNA and with a young heel like Cody, this sure will be an explosive feud, my favorite feud going on right now for your thread.

So Triple H wins and is your inaugural champion, that's pretty good. So a feud with Cena is probably in the works. Or not....LOL. Brock is baaaaaaaaaack! Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar will be a solid feud for your thread. I'll be reading to see how you book this feud.

Overall, a pretty alright first episode. A lot of uncertainty because of no backstory or rosters, but a good read. Having that surprise in the end with Brock was cool, hope you capitalize on that. Again, welcome back to the section!

First of all, welcome back to the section Sign Guy. Good to have you back. Here's a review for you.

Thank you, hope you're still able to make my graphics for me.

Hmm, so maybe a backstory would have been nice here but I think I know what happened. You just got a great idea and decided to write it and I understand how that is, I get that.

Pretty much it. I don't wanna back story, I just want to write. I just took a bunch of guys I wanted together, and I'm going to write for them like they're all in their primes.

Hmm, Cena did not sound like Cena here to be honest. But your promo did get its message across. With HHH interrupting, I bet they'll probably be in a feud later on so I don't expect either of them to be winning or one of them will win

Cena is a tough guy for me to write at times. I tried to do the best I could with it. I hope that I can get a better feel for him in the next few weeks.

Now this I like. Bringing Cody's “Dashing” gimmick will be good. A Cody/Joe feud will be pretty interesting. I'm imagining that Joe is still the badass that he was in TNA and with a young heel like Cody, this sure will be an explosive feud, my favorite feud going on right now for your thread.

Not so much a feud as just something to help get a promo going. At least not yet

So Triple H wins and is your inaugural champion, that's pretty good. So a feud with Cena is probably in the works. Or not....LOL. Brock is baaaaaaaaaack! Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar will be a solid feud for your thread. I'll be reading to see how you book this feud.

I was hoping it would be a nice surprise. I have some ood stuff planned for that feud in particular. I hope it will be enjoyable.
