(WCWF ID)
(Video package recap of The Bash, mainly highlighting the New Japan Pro Wrestling invasion)
AJ Styles music hits and he makes his way out to a big pop to kick off the show. Fans chant "AJ Styles" and "AJ Got Screwed!" AJ says "Ya know, last night during our match, I said to myself, man Cena is legit and that he was every bit of greatness that he said he was...until the end of the match. Fact is I had, Cena beat in the center. The lights turns off and boom, I'm getting my ass beat in the dark, I woke up to Cena helping me up saying he knew nothing about what just happened and that he was as confused as me and that he was sorry. I thought to myself, maybe Cena is genuine, and the only reason I believed that hype is because if anybody knows about how Bullet Club operates and how it's done in Japan, it's "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles! So I believed the hype, Cena was just beefing with these guys, some of them don't know John, whole others like Nick Viscious didn't even like John. I believed every word Cena said for the first time in his near 20 year career and it came back to bite me in the ass. Once a phony, always a phony and that's what John Cena is. Now we're in a war with Japan, one that John Cena started. Cena's way of getting his mouth out of a check, that his ass couldn't cash was by selling out on the country he loves so much, by selling out on the company that has handed him everything on a silver freaking platter just because of who he is. Now, John Cena is defending the WCWF Undisputed Championship over in Japan against Vader. With that in mind, I don't care who is champion come Unforgiven whether it's Vader, Cena, or Antonio Inoki, I want my rematch at Unforgiven. WCWF is in a collision course against NJPW and now I'm challenging them to pick 6 guys, against my 6 guys and we're going to do a good old fashioned Steel Warefare match. I'm going to lead this company into War of the Worlds and..." Roman Reigns music cuts him off and he reminds AJ Styles that this was his yard and says he was the Face of the WCWF, which means he represents this company and if anyone was going to lead the WCWF into victory in a war it's gonna be "The Big Dog." AJ reminds Roman of the last war against The E.N.D. and how Roman led the company into defeat. AJ Styles says that Roman had his chance as WCWF's 'standard bearer' and failed in his role. AJ says passing the torch to Roman was a bigger flop than passing it to Lex Luger in '94. Roman threatens AJ to watch his words or he would be hit in the mouth. (Wyatt Scare) Bray Wyatt interrupts "Ladies, calm down and let's be real, you two are arguing over who is the top 'Babyface' in the company, when the fact is I've been the true standard bearer for this company and you two know it. If anyone is leading this company, it's going to be the one who's been legit leading this company in that locker room when all the smoke and mirrors clear." Sami Zayn interrupts and makes his way out, Seth Rollins interrupts from there, followed by Dean Ambrose, and Braun Strowman. Mark Carrano appears on the titantron: "Before anymore superstars comes out, We're going to have ourselves a good old fashion Six-packed challenge and the winner of that match will lead Team WCWF and will have until the end of the night to put together a team and that's gonna start...RIGHT NOW!!"

(6-Packed challenge to determine leader of Team WCWF) AJ Styles vs. Bray Wyatt vs. Roman Reigns vs. Sami Zayn vs. Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Braun Strowman- Incredible action!! This went on for 20 minutes, Short summary here: Everyone tried to gang up on Strowman to kick us off, but he started beating up everyone before the numbers caught up. The Shield would eventually put him through the announce table with a Triple Powerbomb. Rollins and Ambrose worked together to hold him up so Roman could Spear him through the other announce table. The Shield would begin to argue with one another before brawling with one another, Sami and AJ would take them out with Somersault Planchas. Wyatt flew off the top rope taking them both out with a Diving Crossbody. Skip to the complete end, Roman Reigns began a Spear fest on everyone, before receiving a Styles Clash for the win. AJ gets the win and will lead Team WCWF.

Backstage: Mark Carrano and John Larinautis congratulating AJ Styles and asks him who would join Team WCWF. Styles said he has two guys that's never been given a fair shot in this company despite their talent and that's Samoa Joe, and Bobby Roode. He says to add to that he wants to add somebody who had his chance literally snatched away in Sami Zayn. He says his next pick was talented as hell and was overlooked far too long and that's Chad Gable. He says for the final name, he had to pick somebody who was going to bring it and that was none other than...The Rock. Mark said he would inform the talent, and Johnny Ace says he would get The Rock on the phone.
Shawn Michaels music hits and he makes his way out limping hard with a bruised up face, with tape around his shoulder and body to talk about his in-ring future with the WCWF. Shawn is greeted to a huge pop and "HBK" chants. Shawn Michaels says "As you can see, I'm banged up! OK I got my butt whipped last night. I was thrown through an announce table being flung from inside of the ring, put through a barricade, slammed on my face, had my head bashed through a steel ring post at 52 years old. I'm lucky to be alive right now let alone thinking about any future matches. Question is...Is this it for Shawn Michaels? (Fans starts booing.) I mean come on I've been in the game for over 30 years. Last time I retired was against The Undertaker at WrestleMania and I promised to never return but was goaded into coming back by each and every one of you. I accepted because not only did I wanna listen to each and every one of you but because there was several names I wanted to face. Names like Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to face them one on one. Tonight i'm not here to announce I'm retiring tonight. However, I am here to announce a retirement tour ending at Survivor Series. Where if I have it my way I go one on one with a man that I've never faced before in my 30 year career in a match 20 years in the making, it's only right that if I'm going out it's in the biggest way possible, and that's why tonight I officially challenge this man to the biggest main event in the history of Survivor Series... (Big "Rocky," "AJ Styles," "Roman Reigns," "Rollins," and "Sting" chants break out as Shawn looks around).. and that man is THE ROCK!!! (Fans chant: "YES! as the announcers sell disbelief and excitement.) Rock I know you're here next week, I want an answer. For the time, being I'm going to go rest.

MizTV with The Shield- Miz welcome us and is upset because he feels he should be wrestling to fight for this company but it was whatever. He says he was told halfway through the show he would be hosting MizTV with Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose tonight. He ask Seth out first, he questions what was running through Seth's mind when he drove that chair across Roman's back and into Dean's heart three years ago, and what did it feel like October 2015 when he cashed in his contract on Roman Reigns following Reigns successfully defending in his first defense against Bret Hart and AJ Styles. Seth says he felt greed. He says at that time he was greedy and chose to be selfish over his own brothers. He says that it was Pro Wrestling though and sometimes you have to strike anyone to get ahead. Miz introduces Roman Reigns and questions how he's feeling after getting his ass beat by Punk last night. Reigns says if Miz watched the replay he would see he beat the f*** out of Punk, CM Punk captalized on a moment and won. Reigns congratulates Punk before talking directly to Seth "Look, I understand you did what you had to do to get ahead. It's old! You really think Dean is mad because of what you did?! Nah man, the only reason Dean targeted you was because he needed a rivalry, and one that delivered to stay relevant and he chose you because he knows you two can bring out the best in each other." Dean cuts him off and says Roman didn't know what he was talking about. Dean says he just wanted revenge and he got it and that he was done with this and Seth. He says he was only in this ring right now because it was his job. Reigns and Rollins laughs before, Seth Rollins tells Ambrose to come on because him and Roman knew him more than anybody and that Ambrose didn't follow anybody's orders so he wanted to know what was really up. Miz cuts them off "EXCUSE ME THIS IS MY SHOW! THIS IS MIZ TV! YOU DON'T TALK UNTIL I TELL YOU TO!! Fact is, Bullet Club is going to mop the floor with The Shield. Everybody sic sick of The Shield. It seems like the only time all 3 of you are relevant is when atleast two of you is fighting or teaming with each other. These people or sick of it, they're sick of the entire Shield, whether it be teaming with one another, fighting with one another, or fighting against other people. The fact is you're boring as hell, all 3 of you. Seth and Dean, you have grown stale, and Roman Reigns you just haven't grown into an elite superstar at all. You've become a better wrestler with no real charisma. As a matter of fact do us all a favor and get the hell out of my ring." Roman, Dean, and Seth look at each other and get face to face before turning and standing by each other against Miz. THE SHIELD JUMPS THE MIZ!!! SHIELD PUTS HIM THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A TRIPLE POWERBOMB!! Roman starts screaming "CAN WE CO-EXIST FOR AT LEAST ONE NIGHT?!" Roman puts his fist in the middle, Seth follows up as everyone waits on Dean. Dean starts to walk away before coming back and putting his fist in the center as The Shield's music plays to end the show.
