Summary: Ten WWE Superstars, playing for up to one million dollars for a charity of their choice. Amongst them, however, is a double agent. A saboteur. A traitor. The Mole. The winner? The Superstar to answer the question: Who is The Mole?
Episode One: The Mole Is Planted
"Ten WWE Superstars have been asked to come to Tucson, Arizona, with the promise of a prize of up to one million dollars for a charity of their choice." Anderson Cooper explains to the audience. "One amongst their midst, however, is a traitor. A double agent, planted by the production team to disrupt the team. At the end, only one question remains: who is The Mole?"
The superstars begin arriving:
Matt Hardy pulls up on a motorcycle. Maria is dropped off by bus. Randy Orton comes in by helicopter. Edge arrives in a convertible. Melina arrives by foot. Shawn Michaels enters the scene in a sedan. The King and Lilian Garcia arrive together, and Batista parks up in a luxury limo.
Edge looked incredulous. "This is supposed to be a reality show!"
Batista chuckled. "And I'm living my reality."
Edge growled. "You may have to get your reality checked."
"Hey, quit it! We're supposed to be a team!" Randy Orton interjected himself into the gap left by the arguing superstars. "Speaking of which," he added, "aren't there supposed to be ten of us? Where's the other one?" The team looked around.
"Look out below!" The group heard a southern accent getting louder and louder above them and looked upwards. Jeff Hardy was strapped into a parachute and floating down.
"Damn it, Itchweed!" Matt shouted. "Do you always have to fall down on us?"
Jeff flumped down on the ground in his parachute and walked to the others. "Yup."
"Well," said Anderson, "you're probably wondering what we're doing in the middle of nowhere in Arizona? Well, Jeff, how about you explain the first challenge?" Anderson looked to the Rainbow Haired Warrior.
"Sure." Jeff nodded. "You guys see the airstrip just behind us?" he said, jabbing his thumb towards it. "Well, on it is an airplane with nine parachutes on it. If we all manage to jump, we'll get 20,000 for the pot."
King blinked. "Nine? How are you gonna jump?"
"In case you haven't noticed, I've already done it." Jeff grinned. "So," he asked the group, "you ready to fly?"
--
"How do I use this thing?" Maria asked for the umpteenth time, holding up the parachute. The group sighed.
"OK, we'll go through this one more time…"
--
"Geronimo!" King shouted. Each superstar was strapped to a safety guy, and was looking forward to it. Well, most of them were. Matt went flying. Batista, for a big guy, jumped fairly well. Shawn Michaels flipped and dived. Maria miss-jumped and belly flopped. Orton posed for a second before jumping. Melina obsessed about her hair before her safety guy got tired and pushed her out. Soon, there was only Edge and Lilian left.
"Sh.." Edge muttered, looking over the edge.
"Come on, Adam." Lilian said. "Don't tell me you're scared of heights."
Edge gulped. "It's not the heights that's the problem, it's the hitting the ground."
Lilian turned to her safety instructor. "Is it OK if we jump together?"
The instructor nodded.
"OK, Adam, on the count of three…"
--
"What in the hell is taking them so long up there?" Shawn glanced up at the plane.
"Wait!" Melina called. "That's them!"
The team watched a set of parachutes drop from the plane. They rushed to the two latecomers.
"You missed the landing strip, man." Jeff laughed.
"Screw you," Edge growled, "I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Well done, guys." Anderson came up behind them. "Twenty thousand dollars has been added to the group pot." The group cheered. "Now, I suggest you get into the minibus. You've got a long road ahead yet."

At the hotel, the team was supplied with journals and video cameras to record their thoughts. They were then sequestered into their hotel rooms.
"Well, the first execution is always gonna be a bit pick and mix," said Melina into the camera. "I just hope I get lucky."
"What the f was Batista getting all in my face about? He was the one arriving in a damn limo!" Edge said. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say that he was provided with that damn thing by the production team."
"Well," King confessed, "I've got a bit of a suspicion of who the Mole is right now. I'll just have to wait and see."
The following morning, the team came down to breakfast. They found a note made out of newspaper clippings:
I am always watching. You will never find me.
Love from
The Mole
"Aw man." Matt groaned. "Is this always gonna happen?"
Batista sighed. "Looks like it."
"Good morning." Anderson said to the group. "Hope you're enjoying your breakfast. Now, I need one person who isn't afraid of scorpions."
The group huddled together. Shawn, Batista and Matt said they didn't mind scorpions, but in the end the group chose Edge.
--
"Okay, Edge, come with me. The rest of you, you can finish your breakfast."
As Anderson and Edge walked away, Maria blurted out, "I didn't know moles could read and write!"
No one bothered to correct her.
"Now, Edge," Anderson started, "you were the one chosen as being fearless of scorpions. Now you have a chance of giving back to the group. In this sack, " he continued, holding a black sack up for Edge to see, "is a scorpion."
"Let me guess, I have to get in there and get it out."
"Well, no. To be honest, this scorpion isn't going to be doing much. It is, in fact, a toy scorpion. If you manage to plant this scorpion in someone's luggage between now and the first execution, forty thousand dollars will be added to the group pot and you will receive an exemption from the execution. However," Anderson grinned, "if the person catches you putting the scorpion into their luggage, no money will be added to the pot and that person will receive an exemption. Understood?"
"Sure."

Later that day, the superstars were waiting at the airport ready to go to the next destination. Glancing up at the noticeboard, they saw that there was no indication of where they were headed.
"Guys," Anderson said to the team, "I've just been informed by the baggage handlers that your bags are too big for the flight…"
"WHAT?" Melina screamed.
"… so you're gonna have to repack your bags into these," Anderson said, holding up a black duffel bag with a green thumbprint and a name on, "stylish Mole duffel bags. Now, letting you repack your own bags would be too easy, you'd pack every little thing, not the bare essentials, so I'd like you to pass your bags along to the person to your left."
"Aww man! My hair dye's in there!" Jeff moaned.
"Deal with it," Edge, who ended up with his bag, said.
"You think that's bad. I've ended up with the little princess' bags," Batista groaned.
"You better not break anything!" Melina shouted at him. She was sorting through Shawn's luggage, trying to decide which chaps would look good on him.
"At least leave one dye in there!" Jeff said, picking through Maria's collection of My Little Ponys.
"Screw you, bro. I need my lucky shirts!" Matt said, casting a furtive glance at Shawn. He reached into King's bag. "Aw, man! King, why'd you pack this?" he moaned, picking out Maria's edition of Playboy.
"I get lonely." King said. He started picking through Lilian's underwear.

The guys were sorting through their belongings on the plane when they heard a shriek from the front of the plane.
"What the hell!?" Jeff shouted, pulling out the toy scorpion from earlier. "Who put this in there?"
Edge raised his hand.
"Damn it, man! I already said that I hate scorpions! Don't scare me like that! What, you thought it was funny?"
Edge shook his head. "Actually, no. Anderson gave it to me when he pulled me away at beakfast. He said if I could slip it into someone's bag, then the team would get forty thousand dollars." Edge chuckled. "I lied. It was pretty funny."
"Well, I hope you enjoyed your flight." Anderson beamed. "But now, it's time for the first quiz.
