JR - And he's not just bald King, he lost 50% of his company as well last night!!
King - Well lets hope to see some revenge extracted tonight.
"No Chance" plays and Boo's echo around the arena.
JR - Here comes our newly bald chairman and owner of this company.
King - Not Funny JR.
Vince McMahon walks out, his face is bright red with anger, he is fuming as he walks down to the ring.
JR - His face is a red as a babies smacked behind King.
King - You better watch your mouth JR
JR - Oh brighten up King, Mr McMahon is not a nice man, he is satin himself and he deserved everything he got last night.
King - How can you say that?
Vince picks up the mic and this capacity crowd start to chant "Baldy"
King - These people are so disrespectful.
Vince - Last night at the biggest wrestling event of the year I was in embarrassed in front of the whole world. Not only did I get my hair shaved completely bald, but i also lost 50% of my company, my creation, my legacy and I lost it all to Donald Trump.

Trump appears on the titantron screen.
Trump - Last night I embarrassed you in front of the whole world but not only shaving your hair but by getting 50% of your company. Yet you still want to challenge me to get it back? Even though i will just embarrass you again.
Vince - Thats where your wrong Trump - Revenge is sweet.
Trump - So Vince whats your latest master plan?
Vince - How about at the next pay per view - Backlash - we have an 10man elimination tag team. Both of us pick 5 representatives and the winner gains full ownership of this company.
Trump - Brilliant Idea Vince,not only are you giving the people a great match, but also your letting them see me kick your ass again. I'll be seeing you at Backlash.

He pauses again.
K- Now everyone knows that in this briefcase is a title shot for me whenever I want, whenever I choose. The question is when will i cash in on this baby, that answer will be answer whenever I feel like it. Now onto tonight I have a match against HBK Shaun Michaels, The Has Been Kid, the only surviving member of Degeneration X. HBK, if i were u I wouldn't even bother showing up tonight, because you know and i know that I will win tonight because i'm am the future champion in the business. And also as you would normally say. If you ain't down with that I got two words for ya!!!!!!!!!
Kennedy Pauses.
K- MISSSTERRRRRR KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He smirks and walks off as we cut to a commercial
We then end up at Trump Tower - with Donald Trump 50% owner of World Wrestling Entertainment preparing to make a statement.
DT - Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, it seems to me that Vince McMahon is trying to destroy this company, this of course became evident before I made the stipulation in the contract. You see all Vince cares about is complete control of this company, he doesn't care about how his company runs. Thats why I am taking a stand and at Backlash the newly vacated tag team title will go on the line in a Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match. It will be the same rules as a Normal Elimination Chamber except both members most be eliminated, however as soon as one member is eliminated that superstar must go the back. Participants for this will be Paul London/Brian Kendrick, William Regal/Dave Taylor, Finlay/King Booker, The World Greatest Tag team, Lance Cade/Trevor Murdoch and one other surprise team who will be named on the night of the Backlash. So Vince do you really think you can top that.
We are directed back to the ring for our next match
"Brooklyn" is played and Cryme Tyme come to down to the ring with JBL's suitcase full of money.
King - I cant believe these idiots actually went backstage and stole JBL's money, it is so wrong.
JR - Well i cant excuse their actions, maybe they will be able to show us what they can to do in the ring.
King - What a rob a victory, like then take JBL's money.
"Foghorn" plays and John Bradshaw Layfield and Ron Simmons walk to the ring accompanied by their manager Ted DiBiase.
King - Know this is what i call a tag team.
Match Two
Texas Millionaires W/ Ted DiBiase v Cryme Tyme
Ending - JBL Suplexs JTG 3 times to again disrespect Eddie Guerrero's 3 amigo's which creates heat from the crowd. He then tags in Simmons and they begin the double team on JTG, with various chops,punches and kicks to the stomach. Before Simmons does a snapmare. Then proceeds to put JTG in a sleeper,he struggles to get out of it but after about 30 seconds begins to gain some momentum he kicks Simmons in the gut and then goes to do it again, though Simmons counters and catches his foot, JTG thought counters this also and does and lethal Inzaguri to the face of Simmons which sends both men to floor.

We then cut to Mr McMahon's room where he has a speech ready for us.
Vince - Ladies, Gents, I'll admit Donald Trump certainly shocked me by announcing the tag team elimination match for Backlash, it was indeed as masterstroke, but in saying that, not only will my team defeats his at Backlash but I will defeat him by making a bigger match than him. Not only will this be the biggest match of this year but possibly the biggest match ever. It has come to my attention we have the WWE Champion - John Cena and we have the World Heavyweight Champion - The Undertaker.
Crowd Cheers
So how about at Backlash we will unify the title as John Cena goes one on one against the Undertaker with the winner being the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
Crowd Cheers again.
Although that sounds good, I still need to make it bigger than the elimination chamber, so this match will be a .........BURIED ALIVE MATCH!!!!!!!!
Beat that Trump!!
Crowd roars loudly.
JR - I cant believe it King, a buired alive match, what chance in hell does John Cena have in this.
King - Your right JR - We might see the end of the Doctor of Thugonomics.
"Metalanguis" plays and Edge walks down to the ring.
Edge - Hello and welcome again to another edition of the legendary Cutting Edge with me your host Edge. I ain't going to blabber on but tonight my guest is one of my opponents from last nights Money in the bank Match, he is the loser killer, Randy Orton.
Crowd Roars
"Burn in my light" plays as Randy Orton makes his way to ring.
Edge - So Orton how does it feel to know that you RKO'd me from the top of a ladder last night and cost me my chance of being the world champion once again. You don't even know what it feels like to be champion.
Orton - Think your wrong there Edge, I think you need to remember that I am the Youngest World Champion in WWE History. And one day i will reign again. Of course its not arrogance, its destiny.
Edge - Destiny haha , listen to yourself, you sound a grade A loser like your Pap's Cowboy Bob Orton, Your a disgrace to this company Orton, i dont know why this company even wastes its time on you.
Orton smiles turns round and runs and RKO's Edge leaving Edge motionless in the middle of the ring.
JR - Go on Orton, Show that Egomaniac who's the man
King - I cant believe he did that to the R-Rated Superstar. Edge!!!!!!!!!!
Commercial.
"My time is now" plays and John Cena comes down to the ring with his newly retained WWE Title.
JR - The fans may not like it, but it was a monumental effort from John Cena last night to defeat Shaun Michaels.
King - Your right JR, I wonder what Cena's reaction to getting put in a buried alive match with The Undertaker at Backlash will be.
Cena gets a mic a begins to talk.
Cena - Yo Yo Yo chill chill chill!!!
Crowd boo's
It seems to me I've got taker in Buried Alive,
As the deadman looks for title reign number five,
He thinks he tough with his deadman Inc

You see WWE Champion I will remain
As i beat Undertaker at his own game.
The Arena goes completely dark as we hear the bell which singal's Undertaker music, his music plays as does his Video but no-one appears. Cena looks like he's seen a ghost.
Then we hear a voice - its the Undertakers.
Undertaker - John Cena, As your famous saying goes, your time has come, your time is now, its your turn to rest in peace!!!!!!!!
Cena is visibly scared a runs out of the ring and to the back, whilst Undertaker just laughs.
We cut to a Backlash Promo.
Lillian Garcia - It is now time for tonight featured Main Event.
"Misssster Kennedy" plays and he just points at Lillian Garcia. He walks into the ring and picks up the mic
Kennedy - Now that I have your attention, I would like to remind you that tonight I weigh in at two hundred fourty six pounds, I hail from Green Bay, Wisconsin. I am Mr Money in the bank.
He Pauses
Mr KENNEEDDDDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Are you Ready" plays and Shaun Michaels runs out doing the D-X motion on the ramp.
Kennedy - My opponent - He is the only gay member of Degeneration X and he has no hope in hell of winning here tonight, I give you.... Whats his name?
Michaels reacts to this angrily.

HBK isnt done though as he goes to Mr Kennedy and locks him in the sharpshooter, he keeps in it despite the frequent ringing of the bell and the referee trying to pull him off. He lets go and leaves the ring and walks up the towards the back, however he turns back round and walks round to the announcers position, he goes and gets a steel chair and walks into the ring, and starts to hit Kennedy's ankle repeatedly with the chair, he hits it around 5 times, surely breaking Kennedys ankle in the process. He turns round to hit him again, when someone runs in from the back. Its Matt Hardy, Matt and HBK start trading lefts and rights until Matt Hardy uses the side Effect, he lets HBK get back up before he plants him with the Twist of Fate. Matt calls for a mic.
Matt- Hbk, don't you come out here and think you can pick on other stars, just cause you lost, if you think your good enough then why don't you pick on Matt Hardy Version One.
