J.R, “Welcome back to the long anticipated return of Unleashed. On behalf of the XWE I would like to apologize for the break that we had. There were a few business deals made with Mr McMahon on the break therefore a show could not be produced. But we are back with a whole new show and a new roster too.”
King, “That’s right J.R; the draft took place a couple of days ago, and if you missed it, here is some footage…”
*A clip plays of the draft and which superstars got drafted*
King, “There you have it. We will just make sure you got all the details there and we will tell you who actually got drafted. Ok, Unleashed gained, Booker T, Charlie Haas, Shannon Moore, Chris Jericho and Jacqueline. Aggression gained, Scott Steiner, Nidia, Chris Benoit, the Big Show and one that we’re not really happy about, Shawn Michaels. J.R, do you think that was fair?”
J.R, “It is as fair as it can be. We gained some great wrestlers on this show so we should be happy. Two of the new recruits will be in action tonight, and one of them will go up against the newly crowned United Stated Champion The Rock, for the U.S title. Well, enough from us already, lets get this show on the road.”
Malcolm & Rage VS Jeff Hardy & The Undertaker
The Undertaker’s music hits and Jeff and Taker come out and down to the ring.
J.R, “It looks like Jeff Hardy has had a makeover. He is wearing all black, he has dies his hair black and he looks to be heel.”
Jeff follows Taker into the ring and they both give the death guns, (which is a variation of the Hardy Boyz guns, but when they do it they roll their eyes into their head.) The crowd gasp in horror, and then cheer.
“And at a combined weight of …, being accompanied by Victoria, representing DX, they are the XWE Tag Team Champions, Malcolm and Rage.”
The crowd is split into two, some of them are cheering and some booing. All four superstars are occupying the ring and the referee signals for the bell to ring and for one member from each team to exit the ring onto the apron. Malcolm and Jeff leave the ring, leaving Taker and Rage to start the match off. Rage starts to run at Taker, but stops when Taker puts his fist in the air. Rage circles Taker, then attacks him from behind. Rage punches Taker in the back then knees him in the head. Rage drops his knee into the ribs of the Undertaker a couple of times then he puts an arm bar on Taker. Rage holds the submission move on for quite a while. Taker finally gets to his feet and elbows Rage in the stomach. Taker throws Rage against the ropes and when Rage comes back he does a flying forearm smash to Taker. Rage gets up while the crowd boos and he tags Malcolm in. Malcolm steps into the ring and kicks Taker in the shoulder. Malcolm gets Taker to his feet and twists his arm around. Malcolm takes him to the corner and gets to the top rope. Malcolm walks along the top rope and jumps off, using one of the Undertaker’s signature moves. Malcolm holds his fist out on the way down, so he can smack the shoulder of the Undertaker, but Taker has other plans. Taker holds his hand up and grabs Malcolm by the throat while he is in mid-air, and he modified choke slams him. Taker falls to the ground and slides his way over to Jeff. He tags Jeff in and the crowd go wild. Jeff rips his shirt off as Rage runs into the ring illegally. Jeff whacks Rage in the face with a right punch. Rage falls to the ground but gets back up. Jeff kicks Rage in the groin then Twist of Fate’s him. Malcolm gets up and runs at Jeff. Jeff evades the attack and throws Malcolm over the top rope. Rage gets up again and staggers around. Jeff puts Rage’s head in between his legs then lifts him up, up, up, then down with a sit down power bomb. Jeff tags Taker in and then goes outside the ring to Malcolm. Taker puts his hand in the air and signals for the choke slam. Victoria gets on the apron and the referee attends to her. Taker turns to look at what is going on with Victoria and then Rage pushes him into the referee. Victoria pulls the top rope down so that the referee flies over the ropes. On the outside Jeff gets Malcolm up, but on the way up, Malcolm hits Jeff with a low blow. Malcolm gets into the ring and while Rage is holding Taker, Malcolm punches him. Jeff is in agony outside of the ring, Victoria is happily cheering on the opposite side and Malcolm and Rage are beating the shit out of the Undertaker. All of a sudden, the crowd erupt with applause and screams. Miss Jackie is running down the ramp. She gets to Victoria, swings her around and slaps her in the face. Victoria stands up straight sand starts yelling at Jackie. Jackie kicks Victoria in the stomach and DDT’s her. Then she runs back up the entrance ramp. Malcolm lets Rage know what had happened to Victoria. Rage drops Taker in the corner and goes to see if Victoria is ok. Malcolm checks if Jeff is still on the outside, which he is, then he goes over to the ropes and say, “Hey Rage, let’s finish them.” Rage walks back into the ring and they turn around to get the Undertaker, but Matt Hardy is standing there. He kicks both of the in the lower region then does a double twist of fate. He gets up and pulls Taker over to Rage and he lays one arm on him. A referee runs down to the ring and slides in. He starts the count, 1…2…3. “Here are your winners, Jeff Hardy and the Undertaker.” Matt gets Jeff and pulls him into the ring and the three of them celebrate the victory. Shane McMahon walks out and says, “Excuse me… sorry to interrupt the celebrations but I have just witnessed something that I don’t want to happen on my show. You just cheated to win. I know that it was not for the titles, but still, that match will go in the record books. So, the first match that I will make out of that mess that just happened is Miss Jackie VS Victoria tonight. The second match I am going to make is Malcolm and Rage VS Matt Hardy next week. Now, this match for next week will be a no disqualification match… but only for Malcolm and Rage. Matt, you can still get disqualified. Malcolm and rage can use weapons and can obtain help from any Unleashed superstar that would like to help them. You can’t Matt. It is just you on your own. And if you do get disqualified, you will be fired.” Matt, Jeff and Taker look at each other. They all walk out of the ring together and head backstage.
J.R, “I have a feeling that Matt and Jeff Hardy are actually joining forces with the Undertaker more than they were before we took the break.”
King, “It’s scary isn’t it… Anyway, Miss Jackie is going one on one with Victoria in her debut match on Unleashed later on. Coming up next though is the hardcore champion in action.”
Randy Orton VS Booker T
“CAN YOU DIG IT… SUCKA!!!” Booker T’s music hits and he comes out on stage to a marvellous applause. His pyros go off and he makes his way to the ring. He gets in the ring and grabs a microphone. He says, “Listen up dog, I know why you all want me here, it’s because I am the one and only Booker T. I could be challenging the Rock tonight for his U.S title, but I end up with Randy Orton. C’mon man, I aint gonna wrestle Randy Orton tonight. I am here on Unleashed so I can make a bigger name for myself, and I hope that I would get a chance to prove myself tonight, but look what Shane gives me. Orton can’t dig it, so make someone else come out…”
Randy Orton’s music hits and he comes out with his hardcore title wrapped around his waist. He enters the ring and snatches the microphone off Booker T. He says, “Booker, I know how you’re feeling. Shane put me up against a big fat stinky ogre for ten or so weeks, and boy, I’m glad that’s over. I couldn’t stand another match with that overgrown ape. Yeah, I’m talking about Test. I wrestled him week in and week out. I wrestled him in singles matches, tag team matches and even in a steel cage. And that’s how I got this.” Randy points to his title. “And you’re saying that I’m not worthy of being an opponent. I’m Randy Orton, I’m the hardcore Champion…”
“HERE COMES THE MONEY…” Shane McMahon makes his second appearance on the stage. He waits until the crowd quieten down then he says, “Randy, don’t get to far ahead of yourself. Yes, you are Randy Orton, but no, you’re not the Hardcore champion.” Randy looks confused and the crowd boo, “I’ll show you two lots of footage Randy, then tell me what you think.”
*The first clip plays and it is of Shane McMahon telling Randy that he is not allowed to lay a finger on Nidia until the match begins or he will be stripped of the Hardcore Championship. *
*The second clip plays and it is of Randy shaking Nidia before the bell rung for the intergender tag team match at Massacre. *
Shane, “See Randy. It all makes sense now doesn’t it? I warned you on many occasions, and by the looks of things you didn’t think I was serious. You can only refer to yourself as Randy Orton now.”
Randy, “Shane, you can’t do this to me. I have worked my whole career on getting somewhere and the Hardcore Championship was opening up doorways for me. I totally lost my mind when I was shaking Nidia. I swear it wasn’t intentional.”
Shane, “I’m sorry Randy, rules are rules.” Shane walks down to the ring and holds out his hand. Randy goes to shake it but Shane shakes his head and says, “Randy, you know perfectly well what I am waiting for.” Randy takes the hardcore title off his waist; he looks at it and then passes it to Shane.
Shane, “Thankyou Randy.” Shane heads backstage now, but when he gets to the top of the ramp he says, “Oh and Randy, you can take the rest of the night off. Booker, I’m sorry but you have to wait until next week for a match.” Shane continues to walk backstage. Booker goes to exit the ring but Randy turns him back around and RKO’s him. Randy’s music starts and he slides out of the ring and walks up the ramp.
J.R, “Well folks, there is a vacant hardcore title up for grabs, and a former hardcore champion on the loose.”
King, “We better watch out J.R.”
Miss Jackie VS Victoria
“The following diva match is scheduled for one fall… Introducing first to the ring, making her debut as an Unleashed diva, from Cleveland, Ohio, Miss Jackie.” The crowd go crazy as Jackie runs out and waves to everyone. “… And her opponent for this evenings match, from San Bernardino, California, Victoria.” Victoria walks out and mimics Miss Jackie’s entrance. The crowd boo her as she walks down to the ring. Both divas get into the ring and the bell rings. Jackie starts the match off by walking up to Victoria and slapping her just like earlier in the night. Jackie starts mouthing off at Victoria. Victoria gets up and slaps Jackie. Jackie slaps again and so does Victoria. Victoria starts punching Jackie, and then she irish whips her into the turnbuckle. Victoria runs at Jackie but Jackie lifts her foot up and kicks Victoria in the head. Jackie quickly regains strength and bulldogs Victoria. Jackie goes to the top rope and jumps off landing on Victoria with an elbow drop. She gets up and blows kisses to the crowd. Victoria gets to her feet slowly and when she does, Jackie stomps on her foot and then pokes her in the eyes. Jackie irish whips Victoria to the ropes. Victoria comes back and Jackie flips her over her head. Jackie goes down to pin Victoria, 1…2…
J.R, “OH MY GOD, Malcolm and Rage are at ringside and Rage just pulled Jackie off of Victoria. They have to stop this match… Malcolm just took out the referee.”
Malcolm and Rage get in the ring and get do a 187 on Miss Jackie. Rage drags Victoria over to Jackie and puts an arm on her. Malcolm calls for another referee. Charlie Haas comes running out. He runs down the ramp and knocks Malcolm to the ground. He gets in the ring and goes to knock Rage down, but Rage gets the better of him and spine busters Charlie. A referee comes running down to the ring. Malcolm is still on the ground outside the ring. Rage goes to help Malcolm get up. The referee slides into the ring and starts counting, 1…2…
King, “J.R, its Randy Orton. I thought Shane McMahon told him to leave.”
Randy Orton drags Victoria off of Jackie. Rage drops Malcolm and runs into the ring. Rage goes to clothesline Randy, but Randy ducks and Rage knocks out the second referee. Rage looks down at the referee, and then he looks up only to get RKO’d by Orton. Malcolm gets up and into the ring. Victoria struggles to her feet and stumbles behind Randy. Malcolm goes for a clothesline as well, but once again Randy ducks and Malcolm hits Victoria with it. Malcolm is shocked. He looks at Randy and then Randy does another RKO. Everybody that is in the ring is knocked out except for Randy Orton. He drags Miss Jackie on Victoria and calls for another referee. Shane McMahon walks out and says, “Randy, there is no way there is going to be another referee coming out in this match. There have already been two and I thought I told you to go home.”
Randy, “No you didn’t. See Shane, you said I could have the rest of the night off. I didn’t want to; this is my workplace so I decided that I’d stick around till the end.”
Shane, “Well, this match is going to be classified as a no contest, and it’s your entire fault.”
Randy, “Well, Jackie was going to win anyway, so I declare her as the winner.”
Miss Jackie’s music starts and Randy picks her up and holds her arm in the air. Randy goes over to Charlie and gets him up as well.
Shane, “Randy, get to my office… NOW.”
Shane walks backstage and Randy follows him. Charlie and Jackie celebrate in the ring.
J.R, “We don’t know what Shane is talking to Randy about because he has strictly ordered that no cameras be taken down to his office.”
King, “That was a great match J.R, and by the looks of it, Randy has joined forces with Charlie Haas and Miss Jackie. I’d like to be in his shoes… Anyway ladies and gentlemen, we have two championship matches to come so why not start right now.”
J.R, “Hang on King, as you all know, it is the 11th of September today, so we thought we would pay tribute to all those who died in the attacks three years ago on the World Trade Centre buildings.”
*A clip plays of the September 11 attacks and all of the people grieving*
J.R, “It will always be a sad but heroic part of our history King.”
King, “That’s right J.R. Now we will continue on with the last two matches tonight.”
Chris Jericho VS The Rock (United States Championship)
Chris Jericho’s music starts and he comes out and his pyros go off. He walks down to the ring yelling at the crowd, saying, “I’ll be the next United Stated Champion baby!”
“CAN YOU SMELL, WHAT THE ROCK… IS COOKIN,” The Rock comes out to the cheers from the crowd. He walks down to the ring with his title over his shoulder and when he gets down to the ring he gets in and holds the belt in front of Y2J’s face. Rock hands the belt to the referee, and then he asks for a microphone. He gets handed a mic and he says, “You know Chris, there ain’t gonna be no Highlight Reel on this show. Your shit talk show stays with the brand that matches the description. I’m glad that you’re here Chris because you’re just another little brat that the lips can get smacked off your face.” Chris makes the first move and starts punching Rock. Rock drops the microphone and Chris irish whips him to the ropes. Rock comes back and Chris ducks down so he can flip the Rock over, but the Rock stops and kicks Chris in the face. The Rock irish whips Chris and flips him over on the rebound. The crowd start chanting, “Rocky… Rocky… Rocky.” Chris gets back up and the Rock clotheslines him back down. The Rock knees Chris in the head, then lifts him to his feet and irish whips him into the turnbuckle. Chris gets up slowly. Rock punches Chris but Chris blocks it and punches The Rock. Chris runs against the turnbuckle and comes back and does a flying forearm smash to the face of The Rock. Chris gets up and yells, “I’m the king of the world baby!” The Rock is lying in the middle of the ring, and Jericho goes for the lionsault. Jericho lands on the Rock with the lionsault pin, 1…2… The Rock kicks out. Chris gets to the top rope and waits until the Rock gets to his feet. Rock slowly makes his way up from the canvas, and turns around only to get fly kicked by Jericho. The Rock lands hard on the mat, then Chris grabs his legs and tries to turn him around to do the Walls of Jericho. The Rock realises that Chris is trying to attempt the painful move so he wriggles out of the move. He kicks Jericho in the back and Jericho goes flying through the middle rope. The Rock lies on the canvas for a while trying to regain strength. Jericho climbs back in the ring when the referee’s count is up to eight. The Rock slides over to Chris and covers him, 1…2… Jericho kicks out. The Rock gets to his feet and brings Chris up with him. Chris gets out of the Rock’s hold and runs against the ropes. He runs back, but the Rock lifts him up and does a spine buster to him. The Rock drags Chris into the middle of the ring, and then kicks Chris’ arms close to his body. The Rock runs to one side of the ring, then the other side and then hits Chris Jericho with the most electrifying move that the people have ever seen: The people’s elbow. The Rock lays one arm over Jericho, 1…2…3. “Here is your winner, and still the United States Champion, The Rock.”
After the ring is cleared, Christian’s music hits and he walks out with his Cruiserweight title belt wrapped around his waist. “Introducing to the ring, the Cruiserweight Champion, Christian.” He walks down to the ring with some applause from the crowd. He gets into the ring and grabs the microphone from the announcer. He waists no time and starts talking, “Hello everyone, I’m Christian. I have been in the XWE since the birth. I have only had about two or three matches here, and I have walked out of Massacre with the Cruiserweight gold around my waist. I just want to say that I am honoured to be a champion of Unleashed. It was alright just being a part of Unleashed, but now because I am a champion now, I have to say, I am actually looking forward to the future of me in this company, and so should all of the people that were drafted a couple of days ago. They should be looking forward to something, even if it just a match against a top superstar on Unleashed that they know that they are going to lose. That’s why I am out here right now. I am proposing a match next week between me and Shannon Moore, the newest cruiserweight on Unleashed. Now Shannon, sadly for you the match next week won’t be for the title, but if you win, the week after next, I will guarantee that you will have a title shot.”
Shannon Moore’s face comes up on the big screen and he says, “You’ve got yourself a deal Christian.”
J.R, “You’ve all just heard that next week, live on Unleashed you will see Christian versus Shannon Moore in an all or nothing match… And ladies and gentlemen, we’ve just heard from Unleashed officials that Shane McMahon is allowing cameras to go into his office now. Our cameras are standing by in his office.
Shane McMahon says, “The reason why I wouldn’t allow cameras in here before is because Randy and I were discussing a match that will happen next week for the hardcore title. Randy Orton will be in the match, but along with 14 other Unleashed superstars. It will be a 15 man Royal Rumble for the hardcore title next week.”
Batista is in the back with Jonathon Coachman. Coach says, “Batista, you have been out of action for a while now due to the beating that Randy Orton gave you three weeks ago. You are going to be back in action next week in the royal rumble that was just announced for the hardcore title, and Randy Orton will be in the match. How are you going to go into this match?”
Batista, “First of all I’d like to say that I am glad to be back. And thanks to Randy, because I was out of action for three weeks I have had time to reach a level of strength that I have never reached in my career. I am stronger than I have ever been and next week I will go into the royal rumble with every intention if walking out with the hardcore championship.”
Goldberg VS Destroyer (World Heavyweight Championship)
“The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Heavyweight Championship… Introducing first to the ring, weighing in at 350 pounds, from New York, New York, Destroyer…” He walks out and signals to the crowd that he will be the new World Champ. “… And his opponent, weighing in at 285 pounds, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Goldberg.” The crowd starts the chant of, “GOLDBERG, GOLDBERG, GOLDBERG,” as he walks down to the ring. He steps in the ring and is full of confidence. Shane McMahon’s face shows up on the big screen and he says, “I know that both of you can be in a ring with any match stipulation. So that is why I have decided that this match is now a hardcore match… Continue.”
The bell rings and the match is officially underway. With the announcement of the match stipulation Destroyer and Goldberg both look for weapons. Destroyer finds a trashcan full of kendo sticks, stop signs, trash can lids, thumb tacks and a chair. Goldberg just gets a sledgehammer from underneath the ring and gets back into the ring. Goldberg casually walks around the ring with the sledgehammer in his hand. He runs at Destroyer and swings the sledgehammer. Destroyer tries to dodge the swing of the weapon but doesn’t avoid it and the hammer knocks him in the stomach. Destroyer just gets back into form and knocks out Goldberg with his right hand. He empties the bag of thumb tacks into one corner of the canvas, then he gets a bin lid and starts smacking Goldberg silly with it. He then hit’s a DDT onto the trash can. He pins Goldberg, 1...2... Goldberg kicks out. Goldberg rubs his head and then grabs a kendo stick from Destroyer’s bin. He starts swinging at Destroyer’s ribs with it .He smashes it in half over his head and hits a right jab, then left, then he low blows him. Destroyer slithers down to the mat. Goldberg covers him, 1…2... Destroyer kicks out on instinct. Destroyer gets up and starts arguing with Goldberg. Goldberg smacks him with a stop sign and sends Destroyer flying over the ropes. Goldberg gets out of the ring and irish whips Destroyer into the steel stairs. He drags Destroyer to the stage and then he goes to the ring and grabs a fire extinguisher. He walks back up the ramp and hits Destroyer with it a couple of times. Destroyer is getting closer and closer to the side of the stage. Goldberg keeps knocking the fire extinguisher into the skull of Destroyer. He hits him over and over again. Destroyer is standing right on the edge of the stage. He starts wobbling and trying not to fall backwards. Goldberg walks back a few steps then turns the fire extinguisher on and he holds it into the face of Destroyer. Destroyer falls backwards and lands on tables and wires.
J.R, “That drop is over 20 foot high. I’m guessing Destroyer will be out of action for a while after this beating.”
Goldberg walks down the ramp and around to where Destroyer is laying motionless. Goldberg puts one foot on Goldberg and the referee counts, 1…2…
J.R, “OH MY GOD, Destroyer kicked out… This can’t be happening, how could he have kicked out after that fall.”
Goldberg is stunned; he walks back a few steps and waits until Destroyer gets to his feet, and when he does, Goldberg spears him. This time Goldberg covers him tightly, 1…2…3. “Here is your winner, and the new World Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg.”
Goldberg gets handed the title belt and he walks backstage as the chants of, “Goldberg, Goldberg, Goldberg,” are louder than ever and Unleashed goes off air.
