Skairipa Matrix
3 Time Elite Openweight Champion
We come back from commercial and the cameras cut to a dark corner of the backstage area where we see Curt Hawkins sitting until the camera focuses in on him. At which time he pulls himself up with his cane and leans against the wall.[/I]
Hawkins: The days of me being irrelevant are over. Next week is a brand new beginning of Curt Hawkins. Oh and I'll be bringing a "little friend" with me.
Hawkins smirks to the camera before shoving the camera out of his face as we cut back to the ring where Justin Roberts has a mic in hand for our next match of the evening.
Roberts: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida weighing in at 441 pounds, Big Show!
The fans boo as one half of the former tag team champions, Big Show walks out onto the stage and clearly he's in a foul mood tonight as he walks straight down the ramp quickly. Show pulls himself onto the ring apron and steps over the top rope. As his music cuts he backs into the corner and stares down the entrance ramp.
Roberts: And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada weighing in at 241 pounds he is the NEW World Heavyweight Champion, The Rated R Superstar Edge!
The fans give a HUGE pop as Edge walks out onto the stage and he is all smiles tonight after finally getting his revenge on Chris Jericho last night. Edge does his usual motion on the stage before walking down to the top of the ramp and striking his signature pose to set off his array of pyro behind him. Edge now starts walking down the ramp as Show stares a hole in him. Edge unstraps the title from his waist and then charges into the ring and slides under the bottom rope, looking up at Show with a grin on his face. Edge now climbs up to the top turnbuckle and poses with the title held high over his head as he slides his trench coat off and tosses it out of the ring before handing his title over to the referee, who it turn gives it to Roberts as he exits the ring.
Big Show vs Edge (c)
The match begins and both men walk into the middle of the ring and lock up. Show gets the early advantage by easily backing Edge into the corner and connecting with a big body blow on him as Edge doubles over, but Show pulls him up right in the corner as the fans go silent. Show raises his hand to chop Edge, but instead he kicks him in the knee that Jericho tore apart last night! Edge drops as Show walks onto the banged up leg and stands there for the full 4 count before stepping off as the referee yells at him.
Edge pulls himself into the ropes and gets to his feet, only for Show to charge forward and hit a big running punch to the gut! Edge stumbles away from the ropes as Show waits for him to reach the middle of the ring, then takes out the knee with a big chopblock! Edge is down again and this match is not going at all the way anybody expected it! Edge is holding his knee as Show swats his hands away with his massive paws and then drops a massive elbow onto the injured knee!
Edge rolls around in pain as Show grabs onto his leg and drags him in close to him, then lifts Edge off the mat by his leg, only to slam him down hard on the mat knee first! Show laughs at the pain hes causing Edge tonight as Edge finally escapes the grasp of the giant and crawls into the corner. Show stays on the attack though as he walks to the corner, but Edge hits a kick to the leg out of desperation but it gives him time to get to his feet. Show comes right back at Edge in the corner but this time he gets nailed with a right hand followed quickly by another one and the fans are showing signs of life as Edge hits a clothesline on Show with no effect!
Edge is in shock at Show shrugging off the clothesline so he bounces off the ropes, only for Show to swat him down with a big open chop to the chest! The fans again go silent as their hero rolls out onto the ring apron and Show stands back, just waiting to strike once his opponent rises. Edge slowly begins to pull himself to his feet on the ring apron by using the ropes as Show loads up his fist and it looks like he might be going for the KO Punch once Edge has risen! Edge finally is on his feet and here comes the giant charging forward for the KO Punch, but Edge ducks! Edge avoided being knocked out as Show's arm hangs over the ropes and Edge now jumps off the apron, snapping the arm of Show off the ropes in the process!
Show stumbles backwards as Edge slides in under the bottom rope and charges towards Show, drilling him in the chest with a big running kick that FINALLY knocks Show off his feet! Edge now backs into the nearest corner and squats down and it looks like he plans to put an end to this one as the fans begin chanting "SPEAR!" as Show slowly stumbles to his feet. Edge is now bouncing up and down in the corner as Show is on his feet and turns around into a charging Edge, but Show drops him with a big boot to the face! Edge is laid out and Show covers him for the pin!

The fans ROAR to life as Edge shoots his shoulder into the air and Show is in shock! He thought that kick may have knocked The Rated R Superstar out! Show yells at the referee for not counting fast enough as Edge still hasn't moved after kicking out of the pin. Show finally turns his attention back to his opponent and slowly drags him up to his feet as Edge is stumbling and barely standing. Show now raises his fist into the air, but just as he does Edge kicks him in the gut and drops him with a DDT! Edge has the best chance to win yet as he covers Show and this one could be over!

Edge waits for Show to get up then hits him with a baseball slide dropkick which knocks Show back into the announce table and Edge stands back daring his opponent to enter the ring!
Show is furious now and he slides into the ring and charges towards Edge, but Edge sidesteps and Show's clothesline connects with nothing but air and Edge dropkicks Show in the back to send him stumbling into the ropes, which he bounces off and then turns around, RIGHT INTO A HUGE RUNNING SPEAR!

Cole: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!
King: I don't like the guy personally but WOW! This is a huge draft pick for Raw tonight!
The fans boo as Chris Jericho walks out onto the stage in a suit and just glares at the fans who boo him as The Latin Invasion don't seem too worried at the bottom of the ramp over this pick as they walk up the ramp and pass by Jericho, who just glares at them as they go before going backstage himself.
However we don't cut into commercial and instead the fans come alive at the sound of...
The fans are on their feet cheering as the General Manager of RAW, Shawn Michaels walks out onto the stage in jeans, a red button up shirt and cowboy hat as he walks down the ramp with a mic in his right hand. The Hart Dynasty have now risen to their feet as they get handed their tag team titles from a ring crew worker as Shawn Michaels enters the ring and shakes hands with all three of them. The trio start walking towards the ropes to tell HBK the ring is his but he reaches his hand out to stop them as his music cuts.
Michaels: Woah hang on I came out here to talk to you guys.
The Hart Dynasty stop as they walk back into the middle of the ring as the fans are wondering what this could be about.
Michaels: First off, tough loss guys but congrats on winning the Unified Tag Team Championships last night at Extreme Rules. I was pulling for you guys in that match so i'm glad you won.
Kidd and Smith smile and pat their titles as the fans clap.
Michaels: But that brings me to the reason I'm out here now, you see me and Teddy Long have talked it over all night and well, as of now you guys are no longer the Unified Tag Team Champions!
The trio seems in shock as the fans begin to boo but most of them are confused and waiting to see what Michaels is going to say next.
Michaels: Don't worry its nothing bad, the reason you're not the Unified Tag Team Champions is because as of now the tag titles have been UN-UNIFIED!
The fans pop for this as Kidd and Smith are also unsure how to react as they wonder what's to come next.
Michaels: Since you guys are Smackdown superstars you have a big decision to make... I'm going to let you guys choose now if you wanna be the WWE Tag Team Champions or the World Tag Team Champions. Keep in mind whichever you choose will be yours no matter what happens with the rest of the draft and the other set of titles will belong to whichever brand you guys don't end up on. So what will it be gentleman?
The trio talk things over quickly before taking the titles off their shoulders and unhooking them, Kidd then asks for the mic which Michaels happily gives him.
Kidd: Well Shawn, after talking it over we decided that we wanna represent WWE as best we can, and the best way to do that is by being the WWE Tag Team Champions!
The fans give a small pop for this as Kidd and Smith hand over the World Tag Team Championships to Michaels, who puts them on his shoulders and then shakes hands with all three members of the group as we go to commercial but first we get word that right after the break will be our main event of the evening, a 10 man over the top rope battle royal for 2 draft picks![/QUOTE]
[FONT]We come back from commercial and the cameras go to the ring where we see the 5 men who will represent Monday Night Raw in the battle royal for 2 drafts picks already in the ring sporting red RAW shirts. After a minute we can see these 5 men are WWE Champion John Cena, William Regal, Evan Bourne, Randy Orton and one of tonight's draft picks, John Morrison walking around the ring waiting to see who will represent Smackdown.
The fans give a nice pop as Smackdown's representatives in the battle royal walk out onto the stage and we can see the superstars are JTG, Shad, Matt Hardy and Kane with Kane leading the group to the ring, which oddly enough seems to be missing someone. The 4 superstars reach the bottom of the ramp as they all enter the ring and everybody seems confused why Smackdown is down 1 superstar, that is until we hear...
The fans boo loudly as The Straightedge Savior himself, CM Punk walks out onto the stage in a blue Smackdown shirt and it seems he's the final man in the battle royal tonight and is egotistical enough to refuse to come out with his fellow Smackdown superstars. Punk quickly walks down the ramp as the 9 stars in the ring stare him down. Punk now climbs through the ropes and walks into the middle of the ring and raises his fist into the air to taunt the Raw stars, which causes the 5 of them to jump him before the bell and the fight is on!
10 Man Dual Branded Battle Royal
Team RAW (John Cena, John Morrison, William Regal, Evan Bourne, Randy Orton) vs Team Smackdown (CM Punk, Kane, Shad, JTG, Matt Hardy)
All hell has broken loose in the ring as Punk got beaten down down to the mat but now his fellow Smackdown stars join in the fight and pair off with a member of Raw to fight. Kane is being double teamed by Cena and Bourne as they attempt to lift him over the top rope, but he fights it off quickly. Punk now gets to his feet as Regal gets taken down by Shad who flexes his muscles before putting the boots to Regal against the ropes.
Punk looks around before seeing Kane pop Cena with an uppercut, and BAM! Punk drops Cena with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head! Cena is down as Evan gets turned around by a punch from Kane and Punk scoops Evan up and tries to dump him out of the ring, but Evan slides down his back and hits a jumping knee to the skull of Punk knocking him into the ropes! Evan charges towards Punk looking for the elimination, but Punk pulls down the top rope and Evan flies out onto the ring apron!
Punk thinks he's eliminated Evan so he begins exchanging blows with Cena as Shad and JTG lock eyes with each other and Shad flexes and dares JTG to come at him, and JTG needs no further daring as he charges forward and now the two former tag partners begin brawling just 24 hours after they had a brutal parking lot brawl! Evan gets to his feet on the ring apron and jumps onto the top rope, but Kane charges forward and drills Evan with a big boot to the skull that knocks Evan off the top rope and to the floor! We have our first elimination and its a RAW superstar!
Kane laughs as Evan rolls around on the floor holding his jaw but Randy Orton tackles Kane and they begin brawling! Meanwhile on the other side of the ring, JTG and Shad have fought into the ropes as JTG dropkicks Shad through the middle rope and onto the ring apron. Shad gets to his feet on the ring apron and ducks a punch from his former partner and pops him with one of his own! Shad now puts a front facelock on JTG and pulls him onto the ring apron and this could be bad for Smackdown as two of its superstars are exchanging blows on the ring apron trying to drop each other! William Regal sees this and being the crafty veteran he is, he charges forward and blasts both guys with forearms to the skull and both Shad and JTG fly off the ring apron, eliminated from this match! RAW has just gained the advantage in this match!
JTG and Shad get to their feet on the floor and they realize they were eliminated from the match, so they begin brawling and head up the ramp brawling and end up fighting to the back! Regal turns around after getting a big double elimination, and right away he's taken down by a Side Effect from Matt Hardy! Hardy gets up but right away he's back down as John Morrison shoots off the ropes and drills him with the Flash Kick! Morrison gets back to his feet and he turns around, right into a Chokeslam from Kane! Kane however gets spun around by Cena who lifts him up onto his shoulders and connects with the Attitude Adjustment but Kane bounces right back up, only for Orton to take him out with a big RKO!
Kane is down as Orton and Cena lock eyes and just when it looks like they are about to begin fighting, both get jumped by Matt Hardy and CM Punk! Punk is fighting with Orton while Hardy fights Cena. William Regal has rolled out of the ring under the bottom rope to catch a breather as Morrison gets to his feet and sees Kane down so he charges towards the turnbuckles nearest him and jumps off them, connecting with Starship Pain to the big man! Kane has been hit with 3 finishers in the span of about 3 minutes as Morrison gets to his feet and rolls Kane to the ropes, this could be huge trouble for Smackdown if he gets the elimination!
Morrison pulls Kane up and begins to try to lift him over the top rope, but Kane is dead weight which makes it hard for the smaller man to do. Meanwhile Hardy has Cena fighting for his life on the top turnbuckle while Hardy pounds on his back to try to weaken him. Orton has Punk in the ropes and charges forward going for a big elimination, but Punk scoops Orton up onto his shoulders! Punk has caught Orton to save himself and then he drops Orton with the GTS as Orton falls over the top rope and onto the ring apron. Punk waits for Orton to get up and drills him with a roundhouse kick that knocks him off the ring apron and to the floor!
The fans boo loudly as Punk has scored a huge elimination and outstretches his arms to soak in the boos from the fans. Punk begins taunting the fans as Regal slides into the ring and charges forward, throwing Punk over the top rope but Punk hangs onto the bottom rope to avoid being eliminated! Regal turns his attention to Hardy who has given up on eliminating Cena and Regal drills him with a Running Knee Lift! Regal drags Hardy to his feet as Hardy seems to be in a daze and Regal charges towards the ropes and throws Hardy over the top rope and to the floor! Matt Hardy has been eliminated!
Punk rolls into the ring under the bottom rope just as Smackdown is now down to 2 superstars fighting for the 2 final draft picks of the night. Kane gets to his feet in the middle of the ring as Cena slides down into the ring off the top turnbuckle and Kane charges him and connects with a big clothesline! Kane turns around and Morrison connects with the flash kick to the skull as Kane turns around and Regal charges forward-looking for a big running knee, but Kane moves out-of-the-way and Morrison gets blindsided by the charging Regal! Kane waits for Regal to turn around then he blasts him with a big boot that sends him flying over the top rope and to the floor! Just like that were down to 4 superstars in this battle royal!
Morrison is still laid out as Punk is standing back and letting the monster do the work as Cena begins connecting with lefts and rights to the jaw of Kane before bouncing off the ropes and taking down Kane with a big shoulder block! Cena shoots off the opposite side of the ropes just as Kane gets up and Cena hits another big shoulder block! Cena waits for Kane to get up then lifts him up, and drops him with a spin out powerbomb right in the middle of the ring! Cena is on fire as Kane is laid out and Cena bounces off the ropes, but before he can hit his five knuckle shuffle, Punk takes him down with a running clothesline! Punk pulls Kane to his feet and points the two men out to him and tells him to destroy them, but Kane grabs Punk by the throat and then Chokeslams him!
Kane clearly doesn't like being told what to do as Punk rolls out of the ring and is laid out outside the ring as Kane sees Morrison pulling himself up with the ropes, only for Kane to charge forward and clothesline him over the top rope and take him out! John Morrison put on a great effort tonight but alas he's still been eliminated leaving John Cena is the only man left standing for RAW! Cena gets to his feet and he locks eyes with Kane after seeing Morrison stumbling to his feet on the floor and he realizes he's now alone so he attacks Kane with punches and kicks in a desperate attempt to get the elimination!
Cena knocks Kane into the ropes and hits a big clothesline, but that only knocks Kane onto the ring apron!Cena pulls Kane to his feet on the ring apron as Punk gets to his feet on the floor and he realizes only Kane and Cena remain in the match besides him so he rolls into the ring just as Cena lifts Kane onto his shoulders and then hits the Attitude Adjustment to eliminate Kane! Kane has been eliminated as Cena does the you can't see me taunt to him, but Punk charges forward and lifts Cena up and throws him to the floor and we have a winning brand finally!
Roberts: John Cena has been eliminated which means that the winning brand that has earned 2 draft picks is Friday Night Smackdown!
CM Punk celebrates as Cena holds his head in his hands on the floor as Punk celebrates his victory as the draft randomizer begins for the first of two picks for Smackdown. The randomizer slows down and finally lands on....

The fans boo as Ted DiBiase walks out onto the stage and smirks as Punk rolls his eyes to the newest member of Smackdown. Ted crosses his arms as the draft randomizer begins again, who will be the second new draftee to Friday Night Smackdown?
The randomizer slows down and finally lands on....

JR: OH MY GAWD!
Striker: WOW! JOHN CENA, THE WWE CHAMPION IS NOW A MEMBER OF FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!
Cole: RAW JUST LOST THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP!
King: I can't believe it!
John Cena stands up and is in shock as he realizes he's no longer a member of Monday Night Raw, the show he's been the heart and soul of for years! Punk even seems surprised but then a grin crosses his face as he realizes that now BOTH world champions are on his brand which betters his odds of winning one of the titles and Raw goes off the air with John Cena being handed his WWE Title and having a stare down with CM Punk![/FONT]
Hawkins: The days of me being irrelevant are over. Next week is a brand new beginning of Curt Hawkins. Oh and I'll be bringing a "little friend" with me.

NO! Kidd kicks out!
Primo stays on top of Kidd as he fires away with lefts and rights to the face of Kidd before standing up and going for a jumping leg drop, but Kidd rolls out-of-the-way and makes the tag to David Hart Smith as Primo lands hard on the mat!

Roberts: Here's your winners, the team of Primo and Epico, The Latin Invasion!
**Enchanted Isle**
The fans boo loudly as Primo bails from the ring quickly as Tyson Kidd slides into the ring to check on his partner but the big story here is The Latin Invasion have pinned the tag team champions! Primo walks over to his stablemates as Velez raises the arms of Primo and Epico into the air as the draft randomizer has just finished and landed on....

**Break The Walls Down**
Cole: YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!
King: I don't like the guy personally but WOW! This is a huge draft pick for Raw tonight!
The fans boo as Chris Jericho walks out onto the stage in a suit and just glares at the fans who boo him as The Latin Invasion don't seem too worried at the bottom of the ramp over this pick as they walk up the ramp and pass by Jericho, who just glares at them as they go before going backstage himself.
However we don't cut into commercial and instead the fans come alive at the sound of...
**Sexy Boy**
The fans are on their feet cheering as the General Manager of RAW, Shawn Michaels walks out onto the stage in jeans, a red button up shirt and cowboy hat as he walks down the ramp with a mic in his right hand. The Hart Dynasty have now risen to their feet as they get handed their tag team titles from a ring crew worker as Shawn Michaels enters the ring and shakes hands with all three of them. The trio start walking towards the ropes to tell HBK the ring is his but he reaches his hand out to stop them as his music cuts.
Michaels: Woah hang on I came out here to talk to you guys.
The Hart Dynasty stop as they walk back into the middle of the ring as the fans are wondering what this could be about.
Michaels: First off, tough loss guys but congrats on winning the Unified Tag Team Championships last night at Extreme Rules. I was pulling for you guys in that match so i'm glad you won.
Kidd and Smith smile and pat their titles as the fans clap.
Michaels: But that brings me to the reason I'm out here now, you see me and Teddy Long have talked it over all night and well, as of now you guys are no longer the Unified Tag Team Champions!
The trio seems in shock as the fans begin to boo but most of them are confused and waiting to see what Michaels is going to say next.
Michaels: Don't worry its nothing bad, the reason you're not the Unified Tag Team Champions is because as of now the tag titles have been UN-UNIFIED!
The fans pop for this as Kidd and Smith are also unsure how to react as they wonder what's to come next.
Michaels: Since you guys are Smackdown superstars you have a big decision to make... I'm going to let you guys choose now if you wanna be the WWE Tag Team Champions or the World Tag Team Champions. Keep in mind whichever you choose will be yours no matter what happens with the rest of the draft and the other set of titles will belong to whichever brand you guys don't end up on. So what will it be gentleman?
The trio talk things over quickly before taking the titles off their shoulders and unhooking them, Kidd then asks for the mic which Michaels happily gives him.
Kidd: Well Shawn, after talking it over we decided that we wanna represent WWE as best we can, and the best way to do that is by being the WWE Tag Team Champions!
The fans give a small pop for this as Kidd and Smith hand over the World Tag Team Championships to Michaels, who puts them on his shoulders and then shakes hands with all three members of the group as we go to commercial but first we get word that right after the break will be our main event of the evening, a 10 man over the top rope battle royal for 2 draft picks![/QUOTE]
[FONT]We come back from commercial and the cameras go to the ring where we see the 5 men who will represent Monday Night Raw in the battle royal for 2 drafts picks already in the ring sporting red RAW shirts. After a minute we can see these 5 men are WWE Champion John Cena, William Regal, Evan Bourne, Randy Orton and one of tonight's draft picks, John Morrison walking around the ring waiting to see who will represent Smackdown.
**Let It Roll**
The fans give a nice pop as Smackdown's representatives in the battle royal walk out onto the stage and we can see the superstars are JTG, Shad, Matt Hardy and Kane with Kane leading the group to the ring, which oddly enough seems to be missing someone. The 4 superstars reach the bottom of the ramp as they all enter the ring and everybody seems confused why Smackdown is down 1 superstar, that is until we hear...
**This Fire Burns**
The fans boo loudly as The Straightedge Savior himself, CM Punk walks out onto the stage in a blue Smackdown shirt and it seems he's the final man in the battle royal tonight and is egotistical enough to refuse to come out with his fellow Smackdown superstars. Punk quickly walks down the ramp as the 9 stars in the ring stare him down. Punk now climbs through the ropes and walks into the middle of the ring and raises his fist into the air to taunt the Raw stars, which causes the 5 of them to jump him before the bell and the fight is on!
**The Bell Rings**
Match #710 Man Dual Branded Battle Royal
Team RAW (John Cena, John Morrison, William Regal, Evan Bourne, Randy Orton) vs Team Smackdown (CM Punk, Kane, Shad, JTG, Matt Hardy)
All hell has broken loose in the ring as Punk got beaten down down to the mat but now his fellow Smackdown stars join in the fight and pair off with a member of Raw to fight. Kane is being double teamed by Cena and Bourne as they attempt to lift him over the top rope, but he fights it off quickly. Punk now gets to his feet as Regal gets taken down by Shad who flexes his muscles before putting the boots to Regal against the ropes.
Punk looks around before seeing Kane pop Cena with an uppercut, and BAM! Punk drops Cena with a roundhouse kick to the side of the head! Cena is down as Evan gets turned around by a punch from Kane and Punk scoops Evan up and tries to dump him out of the ring, but Evan slides down his back and hits a jumping knee to the skull of Punk knocking him into the ropes! Evan charges towards Punk looking for the elimination, but Punk pulls down the top rope and Evan flies out onto the ring apron!
Punk thinks he's eliminated Evan so he begins exchanging blows with Cena as Shad and JTG lock eyes with each other and Shad flexes and dares JTG to come at him, and JTG needs no further daring as he charges forward and now the two former tag partners begin brawling just 24 hours after they had a brutal parking lot brawl! Evan gets to his feet on the ring apron and jumps onto the top rope, but Kane charges forward and drills Evan with a big boot to the skull that knocks Evan off the top rope and to the floor! We have our first elimination and its a RAW superstar!
Kane laughs as Evan rolls around on the floor holding his jaw but Randy Orton tackles Kane and they begin brawling! Meanwhile on the other side of the ring, JTG and Shad have fought into the ropes as JTG dropkicks Shad through the middle rope and onto the ring apron. Shad gets to his feet on the ring apron and ducks a punch from his former partner and pops him with one of his own! Shad now puts a front facelock on JTG and pulls him onto the ring apron and this could be bad for Smackdown as two of its superstars are exchanging blows on the ring apron trying to drop each other! William Regal sees this and being the crafty veteran he is, he charges forward and blasts both guys with forearms to the skull and both Shad and JTG fly off the ring apron, eliminated from this match! RAW has just gained the advantage in this match!
JTG and Shad get to their feet on the floor and they realize they were eliminated from the match, so they begin brawling and head up the ramp brawling and end up fighting to the back! Regal turns around after getting a big double elimination, and right away he's taken down by a Side Effect from Matt Hardy! Hardy gets up but right away he's back down as John Morrison shoots off the ropes and drills him with the Flash Kick! Morrison gets back to his feet and he turns around, right into a Chokeslam from Kane! Kane however gets spun around by Cena who lifts him up onto his shoulders and connects with the Attitude Adjustment but Kane bounces right back up, only for Orton to take him out with a big RKO!
Kane is down as Orton and Cena lock eyes and just when it looks like they are about to begin fighting, both get jumped by Matt Hardy and CM Punk! Punk is fighting with Orton while Hardy fights Cena. William Regal has rolled out of the ring under the bottom rope to catch a breather as Morrison gets to his feet and sees Kane down so he charges towards the turnbuckles nearest him and jumps off them, connecting with Starship Pain to the big man! Kane has been hit with 3 finishers in the span of about 3 minutes as Morrison gets to his feet and rolls Kane to the ropes, this could be huge trouble for Smackdown if he gets the elimination!
Morrison pulls Kane up and begins to try to lift him over the top rope, but Kane is dead weight which makes it hard for the smaller man to do. Meanwhile Hardy has Cena fighting for his life on the top turnbuckle while Hardy pounds on his back to try to weaken him. Orton has Punk in the ropes and charges forward going for a big elimination, but Punk scoops Orton up onto his shoulders! Punk has caught Orton to save himself and then he drops Orton with the GTS as Orton falls over the top rope and onto the ring apron. Punk waits for Orton to get up and drills him with a roundhouse kick that knocks him off the ring apron and to the floor!
The fans boo loudly as Punk has scored a huge elimination and outstretches his arms to soak in the boos from the fans. Punk begins taunting the fans as Regal slides into the ring and charges forward, throwing Punk over the top rope but Punk hangs onto the bottom rope to avoid being eliminated! Regal turns his attention to Hardy who has given up on eliminating Cena and Regal drills him with a Running Knee Lift! Regal drags Hardy to his feet as Hardy seems to be in a daze and Regal charges towards the ropes and throws Hardy over the top rope and to the floor! Matt Hardy has been eliminated!
Punk rolls into the ring under the bottom rope just as Smackdown is now down to 2 superstars fighting for the 2 final draft picks of the night. Kane gets to his feet in the middle of the ring as Cena slides down into the ring off the top turnbuckle and Kane charges him and connects with a big clothesline! Kane turns around and Morrison connects with the flash kick to the skull as Kane turns around and Regal charges forward-looking for a big running knee, but Kane moves out-of-the-way and Morrison gets blindsided by the charging Regal! Kane waits for Regal to turn around then he blasts him with a big boot that sends him flying over the top rope and to the floor! Just like that were down to 4 superstars in this battle royal!
Morrison is still laid out as Punk is standing back and letting the monster do the work as Cena begins connecting with lefts and rights to the jaw of Kane before bouncing off the ropes and taking down Kane with a big shoulder block! Cena shoots off the opposite side of the ropes just as Kane gets up and Cena hits another big shoulder block! Cena waits for Kane to get up then lifts him up, and drops him with a spin out powerbomb right in the middle of the ring! Cena is on fire as Kane is laid out and Cena bounces off the ropes, but before he can hit his five knuckle shuffle, Punk takes him down with a running clothesline! Punk pulls Kane to his feet and points the two men out to him and tells him to destroy them, but Kane grabs Punk by the throat and then Chokeslams him!
Kane clearly doesn't like being told what to do as Punk rolls out of the ring and is laid out outside the ring as Kane sees Morrison pulling himself up with the ropes, only for Kane to charge forward and clothesline him over the top rope and take him out! John Morrison put on a great effort tonight but alas he's still been eliminated leaving John Cena is the only man left standing for RAW! Cena gets to his feet and he locks eyes with Kane after seeing Morrison stumbling to his feet on the floor and he realizes he's now alone so he attacks Kane with punches and kicks in a desperate attempt to get the elimination!
Cena knocks Kane into the ropes and hits a big clothesline, but that only knocks Kane onto the ring apron!Cena pulls Kane to his feet on the ring apron as Punk gets to his feet on the floor and he realizes only Kane and Cena remain in the match besides him so he rolls into the ring just as Cena lifts Kane onto his shoulders and then hits the Attitude Adjustment to eliminate Kane! Kane has been eliminated as Cena does the you can't see me taunt to him, but Punk charges forward and lifts Cena up and throws him to the floor and we have a winning brand finally!
Roberts: John Cena has been eliminated which means that the winning brand that has earned 2 draft picks is Friday Night Smackdown!

Punk even seems surprised but then a grin crosses his face as he realizes that now BOTH world champions are on his brand which betters his odds of winning one of the titles and Raw goes off the air with John Cena being handed his WWE Title and having a stare down with CM Punk![/FONT]
