*XWE Unleashed’s music hits and the pyro’s go off louder than ever. The lights flash, the crowd cheers, and the cameras zoom around the arena*
JR, “Hello and welcome to tonight’s episode of xwe Unleashed. We’ve just heard from the chief executive officer that he has someone in mind for the general manager’s position on Unleashed. He will hopefully announce the new GM later on.”
King, “I can’t wait for it JR. Last week we saw Matt Hardy lose to Eugene for the Cruiserweight Championship but was offered a tag team title match tonight against the Radicalz. We think Ric Flair had some kind of talk with Vince which made Vince look really happy. Jayson Anderson made his debut on Unleashed and what a night he had. First he beat the Hurricane and then he helped Jeff Hardy and Lita beat Christian and Amy Webber. Randy Orton and Charlie Haas had another verbal dispute and we’ll definitely see what the outcome of that will be tonight in their match. And lastly, two title matches were made for tonight’s show. A four-way battle royal for the United States Championship and a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship. That’s enough from me; let’s get on with the show!”
The Radicalz © VS Version 1 (Tag Team Championships)
“OH YEEEEEAAAAAH!!!” Version 1’s music start as Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore walk out on stage and the crowd goes nuts.
JR, “Matt Hardy has chosen Shannon Moore to be his tag team partner and hopefully champion with him.”
They walk down to the ring and get in as the crowd cheers them. The Radicalz music hits and there isn’t much cheering going on. Charlie walks out first and the crowd boos. Randy follows him out and the crowd goes nuts.
King, “There are two mixed reactions for the champs. I bet Charlie won’t be happy about that.”
Randy and Charlie get into the ring and one of them is told to get out on the apron as well as either Matt or Shannon.
Randy and Matt start off in the ring as the bell rings. Matt starts with an irish whip against the ropes. Randy comes back and Matt kicks him in the lower stomach. Then Matt chops him right across the chest. Randy falls back against the ropes and Matt turns Randy around and situates his throat on the middle rope. Matt drives his knee into Randy’s back a few times.
Matt gets Randy up and whips him into the turnbuckle. He runs at Randy, but Randy lifts his leg and kicks Matt straight in the head. Matt wobbles around the ring in a dazed state of mind, while Randy goes and tags Charlie in. Charlie grabs Matt’s foot, but Matt flips through and sends Charlie through the middle ropes to the outside of the ring. Matt gets up and tags in Shannon. Shannon taunts to the crowd just as he leaps off the top rope knocking Charlie back down to the ground. Shannon gets back in the ring and eventually, so does Charlie. Shannon runs against the ropes just as Charlie starts to get up and when he comes close to Charlie on the rebound, Charlie ducks and turns around quickly hitting a swinging neckbreaker on Shannon. They both get up and Charlie sends Shannon to the turnbuckle. He picks him up and gets him to the top rope as well as following him up there. Charlie grabs Shannon and tries to hit a superplex but Shannon hooks his foot under the ropes. All of a sudden, Shannon swings around in mid-air and pulls Charlie backwards hitting a reverse DDT.
Not a fan in the arena is seated at this moment. They are all going nuts at the move that Shannon pulled off and now he makes his way to tag Matt Hardy back in. Matt goes straight for the cover on Charlie, 1…2… Charlie just kicks out. Matt gets Charlie up, knees him in the stomach and goes for the twist of fate but Charlie pushes Matt away, and when Matt comes back towards Charlie, Charlie drop toe holds him and maneuvers himself around to get Matt in the Haas of Pain.
King, “JR, he’s got it locked in. This could be the start and end for Version 1 tonight.”
JR, “That looks like a very painful move King, but I think Matt Hardy will fight until the end.”
Matt lifts his hand above the canvas ready to tap, but then he lunges to the ropes and grabs a hold of them. Charlie lets go of the submission and tags in Randy Orton. Randy goes straight for the cover, 1…2… Matt raises a shoulder just in time.
Randy gets Matt up quickly and hits an excruciating backbreaker. Matt screams in pain as Shannon attempts to get into the ring. The referee holds him back as Randy blatantly chokes Matt. The ref turns around and Randy lets go. He walks around the ring a couple of times waiting for Matt to get up. When Matt starts to get up Randy punches Shannon off the apron and then hits the RKO on Matt almost simultaneously. He goes for the pin, 1…2…
JR, “WHAT THE HELL! Charlie just broke up the count! What is he doing?”
Randy turns to look at Charlie. He gets up and watches Charlie get out of the ring and walks backwards up the ramp looking straight back at him. Charlie smiles back at Randy knowing that Matt Hardy is standing behind him. Matt turns Randy around quickly, kicks him in the stomach and then hits a massive Twist of Fate. Shannon Moore jumps off the top rope with a 450 splash slamming down on Randy. Matt puts his hand over Randy’s chest and the ref gets down and counts, 1…2…3!!!
“Here are your winners via pinfall and the new XWE Tag Team Champions, Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore, VERSION 1!!!”
King, “Matt and Shannon just beat the longest reigning tag champs in Unleashed history JR!”
JR, “And I guess it is safe to say that Charlie Haas has turned his back on the Radicalz.”
Matt and Shannon get presented with their tag titles and then they make their way backstage as Eugene comes out on stage. He says, “I am still the Cruiserweight Champion and I don’t get many people wrestling me for it so, I have asked Mr. Vince if I can make a match for myself at the next PPV. He says yes I can but I don’t know who to choose so, next week on Unleashed there is going to be a Cruiserweight Battle Royal! Any cruiserweight on Unleashed can go in it. It will choose who I will be fighting at X-Mania!”
Tatyana is walking down the hall towards the ring as Miss Jackie comes around the corner in front of her. Jackie says, “Sorry gurl, but my Charles is in a bit of a strange mood at the moment so I better go see him.”
Tatyana, “But we have a match right now… You know, you versus me for this!” She points at the Women’s Championship.
Jackie, “Oh really, must have slipped my mind... Oh well, guess you better find another opponent then ay!”
The crowd burst into applause and screaming as they see Victoria walk up behind Jackie.
King, “We all know that Victoria took one hell of a beating from Miss Jackie a few weeks ago for no apparent reason. She has been in hospital and at home recovering from the tremendous injuries that she suffered but now I guess it seems that she is back!”
Jackie doesn’t realize that Vic is standing behind her, so she goes to turn around and gets surprised when she sees her.
Jackie, “Hey Vicky, I haven’t seen you in ages, where have you been? Don’t tell me that Vince told you that you weren’t needed, because I know that you should be here every week in that ring!”
Victoria, “I would have been here every week if it weren’t for you!!!”
Jackie, “What are you talking about? I think you’ve gone a bit crazy in your time off.”
Victoria, “Crazy hah? You should know a lot about that! You’re the one who savagely attacked me causing me to sit out injured for three or so weeks.”
Jackie turns to Tatyana and whispers, “She’s gone coo-coo!!!”
Victoria slaps Jackie’s face leaving a huge red mark. Jackie looks shocked and horrified. Victoria leaps on Jackie screaming; “NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS BITCH!!!”
Tatyana throws her belt aside and gets in there trying to pull Victoria out, but Victoria turns around and whacks Tatyana in rage. Tatyana shows anger on her face. She picks up her belt and leaves Jackie and Victoria to rumble.
*Commercial Break*
*During the break Tatyana walks down to the ring.
Announcer, “Making her way to the ring, from New York City, she is the XWE Women’s Champion, Tatyana!!!”
She stands in the ring waiting for something. She keeps looking up at the big screen.*
When Unleashed comes back from the break Vince comes up on the big screen and says, “Tatyana has just chosen a secondary opponent seeing as though Miss Jackie is unable to make it tonight. This match will not be for the Women’s title unfortunately for the challenger, but if the challenger wins she is guaranteed a Women’s title shot at X-Mania!”
Tatyana grabs a microphone from the announcer in the ring and says, “My opponent is… Victoria!!!”
Tatyana VS Victoria
“Making her way to the ring, from San Bernardino, California, Victoria!”
Victoria comes out with her hair all messed up and scratches all over her body. She gets into the ring and looks so ready for her comeback after her minor injury.
Tatyana runs straight for Vic, but Vic ducks under an oncoming clothesline and when Tatyana turns back around, Vic hits a sidewalk slam. Tatyana gets back up and Vic hits a Northern Lights Suplex holding it down for the count, 1… Tatyana kicks out just after 1.
The both get up and Tatyana runs at Victoria. Victoria hits a back body drop, sending Tatyana high in the air then crashing down hard. Vic stands over her and starts talking trash as Tatyana grabs Victoria by the hair and monkey flips her across to the other side of the ring. Tatyana goes for the cover, 1…2... Victoria kicks out easily. Tatyana gets Victoria up and whips her into the turnbuckle. She turns her around and sits her on top facing the crowd. She gets up there and hits a super back suplex. After Tatyana recovers from the move, she moves over to Victoria for the cover, 1…2… Victoria only just kicks out this time. They both get up and Tatyana goes for a big backhand to the face of Victoria but Vic blocks it and knees her in the stomach, then hits a Russian Leg sweep. Vic stands over Tatyana and looks at the crowd. She smiles and the bends down. She comes back up shaking her ass then she hits the moonsault splash. Vic holds for the cover, 1…2… Tatyana kicks out.
JR, “Victoria could just very well be the opponent for Tatyana at X-Mania in just four weeks time.”
King, “She is putting up a great fight in her comeback against the Women’s champ. Not many people will come back from injury and get a match against a champion that same night.”
Victoria gets up to the top rope waiting for Tatyana to get up. Tatyana starts to get up and Victoria gets ready. She leaps off when Tatyana is up but still dazed. Victoria hits a Diving Cross Body on Tatyana, BUT Tatyana rolls it through and holds the pin, 1…2…3!!!
“Here is your winner via pinfall, Tatyana!”
Victoria gets up and looks happy with her performance against the champ, but also looks disappointed that she lost.
King, “That was a good match JR. Victoria put up a great fight against Tatyana and we applaud her for it.”
JR, “That’s right King. That’s what we like to see around here.”
Vince McMahon walks out on stage and he says, “I know that there is a lot of confusion going on around backstage about the GM, so I have come out here to let everyone know who the new General Manager of Unleashed is. Now I’m not going to hold it back from you any longer. I came out to do one job and that is what I’m going to do… so, the new General Manager of Unleashed is… Stephanie McMahon!!!”
The crowd is in shock. They finally get up and go nuts when Stephanie’s music hits and she comes out on stage. Once the crowd quiets down, Steph says, “Well thanks for the great introduction. Yes, I am the new General Manager of Unleashed, BUT, that doesn’t mean I am not the GM on Aggression. Aggression is my home and I will always be there. I know it is going to be hard running two shows, but it has to be done. I mean, who better to run this show than me. I am the one who runs the show that beat Unleashed at Massacre.” The crowd cheers for this as well.
Vince, “Well I think you will fit in just fine on Unleashed Steph. My time is up here, so I’ll leave you to it!”
Stephanie, “There is a lot of work to be done here and I’m going to start by taking the XWE European and Hardcore championships away from Unleashed.”
JR, “WHAT!!! Is she serious?”
King, “I think she is JR!”
Stephanie, “Yes, I know that it may come as a shock to you, especially to the Undertaker and Jeff Hardy, but it has to be done. There is no need to have seven championships on this show, and I’m sorry to Taker and Jeff for taking these titles away. Now as Eric Bischoff and my brother have said in the past, I am here to change this show completely. That is just one change that I am going to make throughout my position as the General Manager of Unleashed. Oh yeah, I know that it was mentioned before, but I am going to clear things up now. The next pay per view is on the 17th of April and it is X-Mania!”
Booker T VS Undertaker VS Batista VS Shelton Benjamin (Fatal Four-Way – United States Championship)
“Ain't no stoppin' me nooooooooooooww” Shelton's music goes off and he comes down to the ring pumped. He then shows off on the turnbuckles to the crowd. Booker T's music hits and he sets off the pyros. He gets in the ring and into Shelton's face but the ref breaks it up. Batista’s music hits and he walks down to the ring showing off his physique.
*GONG!* The lights start flickering and thunder and lightning starts happening. The other three participants start freaking out as the rim of the titantron catches on fire. Taker walks out methodically shaking his head. He then gets in the ring and takes off his hat. He doesn't take off his jacket before booting all of the participants. The bell rings and Taker gets out of the ring and grabs the US Title. He gets in the ring and floors Booker with it. “The Undertaker has been eliminated!”
King, “I guess that the Undertaker is a bit pissed off about losing his Hardcore title in that way.”
Taker grabs Booker on his way out and puts him in a sleeper hold while dragging him backstage. “6…7…8…9…10”
Booker T has been eliminated!”
Batista and Shelton lock up and Batista throws Shelton into the corner. He starts driving shoulders into the sternum and delivering knife edge chops to the chest. Shelton starts throwing punches but gets whipped against the ropes and Batista hits a Spinebuster, 1… Shelton kicks out on adrenaline. Batista picks him up by the throat and throws him out of the ring so hard he breaks the announce table. The crowd starts chanting “Holy shit!” Shelton gets up bleeding from the mouth and gets a taste of the steel pole then he gets thrown into the ring and is pinned, 1…2… Batista pins again, 1... Again Batista tries to get a pin. Kick out before 1! Shelton starts powering up. He throws Batista into the turnbuckle and stinger splashes him. He then T-Bones him, 1…2… Batista kicks out. Shelton keels over in the middle of the ring. Batista picks him up and delivers a T-Bone of his own, 1…2… Batista picks up Shelton’s arm. He picks him up and Batista Bombs him. This time he pins him with his foot, 1…2…3!
Batista's music is heard throughout the arena as he raises his US Title in the air.
“Here is your winner, and the new United States Champion, Batista!!!”
*Commercial Break*
We see the Undertaker backstage tying Booker T up on a huge Taker symbol. Booker looks like he's dead. He hangs up there motionless with blood dripping from his head. Taker gets in Booker's face and says, “I don't forgive or forget. I’m going to make this quick and simple. One by one your fellow mortals will fall before my Ministry Of Darkness.”
The cameras go back out to King and JR.
JR, “Well, the Undertaker has told us that he doesn’t forgive or forget. Booker T looks like he is in a bit of trouble there.”
King, “And the Ministry of Darkness! What the hell is he going on about there?”
JR, “I don’t know King, but we have more important news here tonight Ladies and Gentlemen, Stephanie McMahon is now running both Unleashed and Aggression! She has also used her power well tonight, eliminating the Hardcore and European titles from Unleashed leaving the Undertaker and Jeff Hardy title-less.”
King, “I think the next few weeks before X-Mania will be great JR!!!”
Christian & The Hurricane & Rhyno VS Jeff Hardy & Jayson Anderson
Jeff Hardy's music plays as Jayson and Jeff rock their way out to the ring.
JR, "Jeff still looks the same without his championship belt King! Do you think it made him angry?"
King, "Of course it would. It was his first title he had won since he won the tag team championships with his brother Matt. I think he would have really had some words with Stephanie McMahon but i don't think that would change her mind."
They get in the ring and take a turnbuckle each while doing their different taunts when the lights turn green and black. “Stand Back! There’s a Hurricane comin' through!” Hurricane comes down half way to the ring and waits for his other two partners. Rhyno's music hits and he runs down the ramp beside Hurricane. Christian’s music hits and he comes down to meet his partners. They whisper in each others ears before taking a side of the ring each and going for the team of Jayson and Jeff. They all jump into the ring at the same time only to be dropkicked out faster than they got in. Jeff and Jayson both go off the ropes and plancha over and onto Christian and Rhyno while Hurricane retreats under the ring. He comes out on the other side holding a chair and is forced to eat it because of Jayson's vicious baseball slide. Jeff rolls Hurricane into the ring and Jayson covers, 1…2… Kick out by Hurricane. Jeff gets on the apron and gets tagged. He notices Rhyno and Christian on the apron and puts hurricane on all fours and does a modified poetry in motion. He goes up to the top rope as Hurricane gets up and hits a whisper in the wind, 1…2… Kick out again. Lita comes running down to the ring to get a better view when Amy Weber attacks her with a steel chair. Jeff looks over at what just happened to Lita. Jeff tells Jayson to see if Lita is alright. Jayson gets off the apron and moves around to Lita. Hurricane turns Jeff around and hits the Eye of the Hurricane and quickly covers him, 1…2…3! Jayson looks up at the ring when the bell sounds. He gets in with a chair and whacks the Hurricane across the back. Christian gets in the ring and Jayson smacks the chair into his head. Christian falls to the ground with blood splattering everywhere. Jayson makes sure Jeff is alright and then goes back out to Lita. While he is helping her get up, Rhyno comes from nowhere and gores him leaving Jeff, Jayson and Lita motionless on the floor.
King, “Wow, I was really expecting Jeff and Jayson to come out and wipe the floor tonight. Guess I was wrong ay!”
JR, “You sure were King. Now all we have left is the World Heavyweight title match tonight King between Jericho, Rock and…”
Randy Orton is walking down the hallway furiously. He nearly knocks the door off it’s hinges when he opens it and when he walks in, we see Charlie Haas sitting in there with Jackie. Randy says, “What the F*** was that all about tonight Charlie? We were going to win. I can’t believe you did that.”
Charlie, “Before you get started Randy, I’m just going to say that I did it because I…”
Randy, “I don’t want to hear your little sorry ass stories. We were a great team before this thing came along and started taking control of you and now Matt Hardy and Shannon Moore have taken our titles. I mean, they are amateurs compared to us Charlie. We were going great. We beat almost every tag team that came in our way and you’re just going to throw it away?”
Charlie, “If you had of let me finish, the only reason why I did it is because Jackie and I are going on a long vacation. It’s mainly just to clear Jackie’s head and to get my mind back on wrestling.”
Randy, “So you made me lose my title so you could go off on your little holiday?”
Charlie, “I’m really sorry Randy.”
Randy leaves the room and Charlie goes out in the hallway to talk with him more. Charlies says, “Randy, would you just hear what I have to say?”
Randy turns around and says, “Charlie, here is what I have to say!”
He jumps, grabs Charlie around the neck and hits the RKO on the concrete floor. Randy gets up and looks down at Charlie and shakes his head.
JR, “I guess that means the Radicalz have split up then!”
King, “Certainly looks like it! But never mind that for now, after the break, the main event for tonight will be happening!”
*Commercial Break*
Chris Jericho © VS The Rock VS Goldberg (World Heavyweight Championship)
“The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Heavyweight Championship… introducing first, from Tulsa, Oklahoma, weighing in at 285 pounds, Goldberg…”
Goldberg enters the arena to the cheers of his fans. He makes his way to the ring and when he gets in the announcer continues.
“… And, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 260 pounds, The Rock…”
Rock comes down to the ring and taunts when he gets down there.
“… And, from Manhasset, New York, weighing in at 231 pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho!!!”
Jericho comes down to the ring to the loudest cheers from the crowd. He gets down to the ring and hands his belt to the referee who then shows the crowd what these three superstars are playing for.
King, “All three of these wrestlers have a great fan base but it would be a shame to see Jericho lose the title.”
JR, “Well if it comes down to that I’m sure that he will get over it and come back harder.”
The bell rings and the crowd roar. The three men stand around for the first minute or two and just stare at each other. Goldberg gets out of the ring as Jericho walks up to the Rock. They stand nose to nose as Y2J raises his arm and slaps Rock in the side of his face. Rock turns his head back to face Jericho and then he starts beating into him. Goldberg gets back in the ring now and helps the Rock. They whip him against the ropes and back body drop him on the way back. Goldberg turns on the Rock and whips him over the top rope. He gets Jericho to his feet and whips him out of the ring on the other side. The Rock gets back in the ring and clotheslines Goldberg. Goldberg gets straight back up but the Rock kicks him in the mid-section and then hits the Rock Bottom. He stands over Goldberg and hits the People’s elbow. Chris Jericho gets back in the ring at this point and with a bit of luck, hit’s an Enzuguri on the Rock. He runs and jumps off the middle rope and hits a lionsault. He covers Rock quickly, 1…2…3!
“Here is your winner, and still the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho!”
Jericho gets to his feet and holds the belt above his head. All of a sudden, Ric Flair’s music hits and the crowd scream, “WOOOOOOOO!!!” He walks down to the ring and by the time he gets there, the Rock and Goldberg are standing up in the ring as well. Flair enters and grabs a microphone and says, “Listen Chris, you are what I would call some kind of lucky guy. There was no way you were going to win that match on your own and you know it. I mean, you’re in the ring with the Rock and Goldberg and you had to count on the Rock to take care of Goldberg before you got back in the ring so you could get the win.” Chris tries to interrupt but Ric continues, “Now, the reason why I am out here is because I want to see the world champ actually go one on one with someone that has been through all of the world champ fame before… And yes, that would be me, so at X-Mania it is going to be Ric Flair versus Chris Jericho for the…”
Goldberg, “Wait a second. Rock and I just went through a huge match and we’re not going to stand back and let someone else take our title shot!”
Rock, “That’s right Goldy! So at X-Mania old man it’s going to be The Rock versus Chris Jericho for the…”
Goldberg, “It’s going to be Goldberg versus Chris Jericho…”
“CAN U DIG IT SUCKAAAA!!!” Booker T limps down to the ring. He grabs a mic and says, “Yo dogs… I been through a whole lot of shit tonight so when I heard ya’ll talking bout the world title match at X-Mania I thought I better come out and have my say.”
Ric, “Hang on Booker. The World title is decided between elite wrestlers… not someone like you!”
Booker, “And you’re elite? Just because you’re an old wrinkly bastard it doesn’t mean that you’re elite! Anyway, I reckon my time has come to get a title shot!”
‘GONG’ Booker T looks up at the entrance as do the four other in the ring. The Undertaker appears on stage as the crowd goes wild. Taker stands up at the top of the ramp and says, “The world title will get defended at X-Mania and it will be against me!”
Chris, “Look ass clowns… I am the world champ, so I should get to decide who I’ll be facing at the ppv, and at the moment I have no freakin idea who I will be facing.”
Stephanie McMahon’s music hits and she walks out on stage. She walks up to where the Undertaker is standing and as he looks at her she says, “I have been listening to all this talk so I decided that I would use the power that I have on this show and make the main event match for X-Mania. Of course, it will feature Chris Jericho and it will also feature Goldberg… The Rock… Ric Flair… Booker T… and the Undertaker, and of course it will be for the World Heavyweight Championship.”
The crowd seems really pleased with the match that has been made.
Steph, “Now I know that Aggression has an Elimination Chamber happening that same night too with some of it’s top superstars, so I have been thinking what kind of match to put you guys in. I have finally come up with an idea that should blow the roof off the arena once the chamber and this match are done. The match between you six guys will be a 6-man 3 stages of hell match. At the end of each stage, two superstars will be out of the match. If you don’t quite understand I’ll explain more. Say for instance the first match is a no-disqualification, falls count anywhere match; the 6 men will start in the ring and then once 2 superstars have been pinned, the remaining four will move onto the second stage, and so on for the next stage. Eventually we’ll end up with 2 superstars in the last stage of the match battling it out for the World Heavyweight Championship!”
The crowd goes wild once again as all 6 superstars eye each other off and Unleashed goes off air.
