Invincible by Skillet hits and pyro flies as WPWA Excellence is coming to you live from the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah!
Shane McMahon-Dont adjust your TV sets folks, a new era of professional wrestling is upon us, as this is the debut episode of World Professional Wrestling Alliances Excellence brand here on Saturday night. Get accustomed to it folks, as I Shane-O-Mac will be calling the action each week and sitting at my side will be none other than
JBL-The Wrestling GOD turned Commentating GOD, John Bradshaw Layfield. You are a typical McMahon, hogging all the spotlight, when a legend, no wait a God like myself should be the focal point. But you do have one thing right McMahon, tonight is the beginning of a new era and it will be the era in which Excellence remains supreme.
[youtube]sMW8B9z4cc8[/youtube]
Shane McMahon-Here he comes John, a man that we both have history with, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels! Cant imagine what Shawn has on his mind.
Shawn Michaels-Man it is great to be back.
*Thank you Shawn chants rain throughout the EnergySolutions Arena*
Shawn Michaels-And you thought Id stay away forever. Guess again. You cant keep the Heartbreak Kid away from the thing that brought him the most joy and the most pain in my life. Dont get your hopes up though; there will be no chance of me stepping back into the squared circle. Im here for one reason and one reason alone and that is to run the show. Im gonna bring you people a show that exists everyone and anyone. Now lets get down to business. We have four championships here. The Intercontinental, the X-Division, the World Tag Team, and the Hardcore championship. Now I have a mind in the back that knows Hardcore more than me. He is more than just my backstage interviewer. Joey Styles, my boy you are going to be my Hardcore commissioner.
JBL-What the hell is wrong with Shawn Michaels. Why on Gods green Earth would he put that little arrogant runt, Joey Styles in charge of something as important as a championship title? If Shawns goal is to run this company into the ground he is doing a damn good job.
Shawn Michaels-Tonight I want to give you guys a main event match that youll be talking about for years to come. So that is why Im gonna hang the Intercontinental Championship above the ring and get ourselves some ladders and why not put in two of the most exciting stars in the wrestling world, AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy!
Shane McMahon-Well JBL, I think that will make up for the travesty Shawn announced earlier. Two of the biggest stars out there will battle in a ladder match, AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy. A wrestling fans dream.
JBL-Ill forgive Shawn, because that main event has PPV quality written all over it and Im not sure there is a match in wrestling that anyone wants to see more than that one.

Shane McMahon-Here comes one of the best in ring performers this business has to offer, Charlie Haas. And what a honor it must be for him to be participating in the debut match here on Excellence.
JBL-Did you really call Charlie Haas one of the best performers in the business? Big whoop the guy can mat wrestle, but he is boring. His best personality is that he needs to make fun of others, pathetic if you ask me. The fact that this guy has a job shows that we must have been desperate for talent.
Shane McMahon-Looks like someone still has a gripe over Haas poking fun at them. No matter what JBL thinks, Charlie Haas will be in action following this commercial break.
*COMMERCIAL BREAK*
Shane McMahon-Welcome back folks. As you know Charlie Haas made his entrance right before the break and now he awaits his opponent inside the ring.

CHAVO GUERRERO!
JBL-Now if you want entertaining Shane McMahon, I give you Chavo Guerrero. Chavito comes from wrestling royalty and he will show Charlie Haas just how it is done.
Shane McMahon-Yes the same Chavo Guerrero that lost to a midget.
JBL-Shut up McMahon! That pesky rat of a midget isnt here and Chavo is turning a new page in his career and he will show the world just how great the Guerrero name is. Hell McMahon, Im so confident Guerrero is going to win that Im willing to make a little wager.
Shane McMahon-A bet? Im game, hundred bucks.
JBL-Youre on!

JBL-Haha McMahon, pay up! Actually hold on to it, you can buy me dinner tonight after the show.
Shane McMahon-Yeah yeah. Kudos to Chavo Guerrero for picking up the victory, despite the questionable way of doing so.
JBL-Questionable?? Its called being resourceful. Haas wasnt protective of his face and Chavo took advantage of it and soared his way into the record books. Dont be making excuses because your boy Charlie Haas couldnt defeat wrestling royalty in Chavo Guerrero.

*SHAWN MICHAELS OFFICE*
Shawn Michaels-Look who the cat drug in.
Randy Orton-Now Shawn I know we have history and Im not here to complain, but I just have to wonder how I wasnt considered for the main event tonight?
Shawn Michaels-I hear ya Randy and just me I considered you. Hell Randy I was going to put you in the match and then a light bulb went off and I knew just what to do you with you.
Randy Orton-And what just might that be?
Shawn Michaels-Now you know and I know that there is nothing wrestling fans love more than unpredictability. And there is nothing more unpredictable than the RKO. And when it comes to wrestling style there is nothing more unpredictable than the X-Division. And when you put those two things together you have a match made in heaven. So Randy Im asking you to be the face of my X-Division.
Randy Orton-You want me to be the face of division made for guys who do flips and arent capable of hanging with the big guys. Im sorry Shawn Ill have to reject that.
Shawn Michaels-Randy you are making the wrong choice. Look what the X-Division has done. It put TNA on the map and it turned AJ Styles into the star that he has become today. Now yes Randy you are already a star, but imagine just what you could do as the most exciting wrestler on this brand. This could make you the biggest star in the sport today Randy. Just think about it for me.
Randy Orton-Alright Shawn, Ill think about it.
Shane McMahon-Randy Orton as the face of the X-Division, could you imagine that?
JBL-Was Shawn Michaels tested before being given the reigns? Why in the hell would you put the biggest star on the brand in the X-Division? Im pretty sure my hot dog vender and my limo driver compete in the X-Division. Ridiculous! Orton better chose the right choice and be the wiser man. Just absurd..
Shane McMahon-I dont know John. Shawn made a great point that the X-Division propels you to greatness and could you imagine just how big Randy Orton could become.

Ashley Valence-And his opponent, weighing in at 215 pounds from Gainesville, Georgia
The Phenomenal AJ STYLES!
JBL-Here he is McMahon. Here is the man that I regard as the best wrestler in the world. And with his newly acquired attitude, Styles is on the fast track to stardom. What better way to begin that fame by defeating one of the innovators of the ladder match in his own match.
Shane McMahon-While Im not fond of the new AJ, he is still one of the best wrestlers on the planet and him and Hardy should steal the show here. I have no doubts about that.
The bell rings and Charles Robinson ducks outside and lets AJ and Hardy settle their differences. AJ and Hardy lock up in a collar and armbar tie up, but Styles pushes Hardy off and nails him immediately with a spin kick, sending Hardy to the outside. Styles looks around the ring for Hardy and sees he is on the outside. Styles bounces off the ropes and dives over the top rope, but Hardy ducks out of the way and Styles crashes into the announce table.
Shane McMahon-Did you feel that JBL? AJ Styles just shook our announce table with that impact.
Hardy lifts Styles up and goes to whip him into the steel stairs. Styles counters and jumps up to the top of the stairs and dives off, turning in midair. However Hardy sees this and dropkicks Styles right in the sternum. The crowd erupts at the move, as Hardy crawls towards a ladder. Hardy unfolds the ladder and rolls it into the ring. Hardy follows suit and he sets up the ladder in the middle of the ring and begins to climb. Hardy is about halfway up and Styles springboards off the top rope and dropkicks the ladder.

Hardy goes back outside the ring and brings another ladder into play. Styles is still on the first ladder and Hardy drops the second ladder on top of Styles. Hardy does his trademark pose and screams to the fans. They pop as Hardy climbs to the top. Hardy goes for the Swanton, but Styles rolls out of the way and Hardy crashes on top of the two ladders.
JBL-And that is exactly why they call it high risk McMahon. Hardy probably could have had this match won, but he had to take that extra risk and it looks like it could cost him.
Styles sets up one of the ladders and starts to climb. At around halfway Hardy starts to budge and sets up the ladder next to Styles. Hardy starts to climb as Styles reaches for the belt. Styles has his fingers on the belt and Hardy clubs him on the back. Hardy grabs Styles, but Styles hits him with an elbow. Hardy is woozy and Styles hits a Pele Kick off the ladder, sending both men crashing to the mat.
Shane McMahon-What an AMAZING move by AJ Styles. What an amazing match going on here. Just when it looks over, they keep showing off.
Both men are slow to get up. Hardy pulls himself up with help from the ropes as Styles props himself in the turnbuckle. Styles and Hardy charge each other and start firing away at each other. It is nonstop fisticuffs and then Hardy takes out Styles with a takedown and continues to punch away. Styles reverses and starts punching away at Hardy. Styles breaks up the encounter and runs towards the ladder. Styles is up on the fourth rung and Hardy grabs Styles foot and pulls him off. Styles face crashes into the rungs and falls back into the ropes. Hardy throws Styles into a seated position in the corner. Hardy steps back and runs at Styles and hits the Hardyac Arrest (dropkick with the aid of the rope). Styles holds his chest as he rolls out onto the apron. Hardy moves his focus to the ladder and starts to climb. Styles starts to get up as Hardy is towards the top. Hardy is at the top and instead of grabbing the title he nails a standing style with a Whisper in the Wind. Both men are down and out as they roll around the mat in pain.
JBL-Im telling you McMahon Hardy has taken too many shots to the head. He had this match won and he decides to jump off and crash on top of AJ Styles. I dont get it. Why give up championship gold for a risk that might cost you in the long run.
Hardy chants rain throughout the arena as Hardy pulls himself up to his feet. Styles is still down as Hardy begins to climb the ladder. Styles starts to move, as Hardy is a few rungs up. Styles pops up and heads over towards Hardy, who kicks him away. Styles goes right back and sets his head between Hardys legs and pulls him down into a Styles Clash position and drops him on his face. A slight pop can be heard, but it is quickly drowned out with boos from the Hardy faithful. Styles looks down over at a knocked out Hardy, as he is holding his head. Styles uses the ladder to pull himself up and he starts to climb. Styles slowly climbs the ladder and Hardy rolls over to start climbing the adjacent ladder.

Hardy nails Styles with a right hand and goes for a Twist of Fate, but Styles hangs on to the ladder and shoves Hardy off, sending him crashing to the mat below. Styles shakes off the cobwebs and reaches around and unhooks the championship and picks up the victory.
Shane McMahon-An amazing main event! Love him or hate him, AJ Styles put on a hell of a match, as did Jeff Hardy. These two came to steal the show and they damn well made this show!
JBL-Congratulations AJ Styles! You are most deserving of that championship and you proved it here tonight by defeating the nutcase that is Jeff Hardy. Yeah yeah, Hardy had a good match, but he blew his chance to win and the more deserving star won. I dont care what you say McMahon.
Shane McMahon-Either way it was a classic and epic duel. And with that John we are out of time here this Saturday night. Congrats to AJ on becoming champion and thank you all for joining us here this evening. For John Bradshaw Layfield, I am Shane McMahon and we will see you here live next week on WPWA Excellence.

JBL-Im telling you McMahon Hardy has taken too many shots to the head. He had this match won and he decides to jump off and crash on top of AJ Styles. I dont get it. Why give up championship gold for a risk that might cost you in the long run.

AJ STYLES!
Shane McMahon-An amazing main event! Love him or hate him, AJ Styles put on a hell of a match, as did Jeff Hardy. These two came to steal the show and they damn well made this show!
JBL-Congratulations AJ Styles! You are most deserving of that championship and you proved it here tonight by defeating the nutcase that is Jeff Hardy. Yeah yeah, Hardy had a good match, but he blew his chance to win and the more deserving star won. I dont care what you say McMahon.
Shane McMahon-Either way it was a classic and epic duel. And with that John we are out of time here this Saturday night. Congrats to AJ on becoming champion and thank you all for joining us here this evening. For John Bradshaw Layfield, I am Shane McMahon and we will see you here live next week on WPWA Excellence. Good night!
