-Thursday Night SmackDown 2004-
Undertaker was backstage, waiting for his cue to walk out and confront JBL. After their PPV on Sunday, he was itching to get his hands on him. He watched on the monitors from Gorilla. A limo pulled in near the ramp, JBL's limo. He watched JBL climb out of his car with a neck brace and make his way down the ramp.
Undertaker shook his head, JBL was always dramatic.
"Thank you Orlando, thank you", JBL said.
He looked out towards the crowd.
"Undertaker, instead taking the loss like an actual man, got himself disqualified at Summerslam. Like a coward he attacked me instead of shaking my hand and admitting defeat. You're nothing but a criminal", the crowd cheered.
He shook his head at the crowd and looked at Orlando.
"He's a lunatic Orlando, pure evil", JBL said.
Orlando shook his head.
"He choke slammed me through my own limo. Can you believe that? Look at the photos, look", JBL said, while pictures from Summer Slam were shown on the screen.
Orlando gently patted JBL's back.
"Look at what he's done to me. How could you look up to and cheer on that evil man? Orlando, could you help me with my jacket please", he said.
Orlando proceeded to help JBL, while the crowd chanted for Undertaker.
"Don't chant for that man, I am your WWE champion.", he said.
Before JBL could continue, Taker's theme played. He looked towards Orlando, scared out of his mind.
"Uh oh", Cole said.
"You said he wasn't here, you said", JBL said to Orlando.
Orlando tried to call him down.
"Well JBL believed the Undertaker wasn't here. Whether he's suppose to be here or not, I believe the Undertaker is in the house folks.", Cole announced.
Orlando kept trying to ease JBL's fear.
"He's in the house", Cole shouted as Undertaker appeared from backstage.
"And there he is, the original deadman is here", Taz said.
"JBL's in pain though", Cole said.
Orlando jumped out of the ring and ran to get a chair before climbing back in. JBL took a few steps back. JBL quickly turned to climb out of the ring but hit the ropes, knocking himself back. Orlando turned and dropped the chair in order to help him.
"The amount of pain JBL is in right now", Cole said.
"He can't move", Taz said, as they watched JBL try to get up.
"He looks kind of like a turtle", Cole said.
"The deadman is just walking down the ramp, inching closer to JBL", Taz said.
JBL finally got out of the ring, followed by Orlando.
"The champion finally hobbled out of the ring in time, Taker stalking his victim", Cole said.
Orlando jumped over the barrier and tried to help JBL over as Taker reached the ring. Finally getting him over, JBL stumbled back and fell as Orlando kept his eyes on Taker.
"The champ just fell", Taz said.
Orlando ran over and helped JBL to his feet, Taker watched from the steel steps. He turned and continued up and into the ring. Orlando and JBL made their way to the back as Taker watched.
"JBL is in no condition to battle the Undertaker right now", Cole said.
"Taker didn't come out here to fight Cole, it's obvious he's just playing mind games with the champ. You and I both know if he really wanted too, he could have gotten his hands on the champ", Taz said.
The crowd cheered for Taker. He lifted the mic to his lips.
"JBL, why did you run? I came out here to talk. Its obvious you have a lot to say.", Taker said.
Taker looked out towards the crowd.
"You called me an evil man, a criminal and both of those are true, but I am no coward", Taker said.
The crowd cheered.
"I came out here to ask you for a rematch and I want it now", he said.
The crowd grew louder.
"He's crazy, it's obvious our WWE champ is hurt", Cole said.
"I wouldn't call him crazy to his face", Taz said.
"If you don't give me my match now, I will go back there and find you. I will do everything I did to you at SummerSlam, again", Taker said.
GM of SmackDown, Teddy Long's music played and he walked out.
"You are absolutely right Taker, you deserve a rematch and I understand that JBL can not compete. That means I'll place Orlando Jordan to take his place in this match for the title.", Teddy announced.
The crowd cheered.
"That rematch is tonight", he said.
Taker smirked and Teddy made his way to the back.
JBL and Orlando found Teddy in his office.
"You can't make a title match without the champion. I'm the champion", JBL said.
"You have no faith in Orlando? You don't think he can win?", Teddy asked.
Orlando looked at JBL.
"Of course I have faith in him, he can do it", JBL said.
"Then it's settled, Orlando will defend your title tonight against the Undertaker", Teddy said.
"But", Teddy walked away from JBL, leaving him with his mouth open.
JBL looked at Orlando.
"I'm walking out with you and I'll be ring side", JBL said.
Orlando nodded.
Torrie Wilson watched from one of the other monitors and smiled. She always looked up to the way Taker made his presence known in the ring. She could never be that way or wrestle as great as he can.
"You think he'll ever train someone?", she asked.
Trish chuckled and Stacy shrugged.
"I don't think so, besides he's a little scary", Trish said.
"I agree with the scary part", Stacy said.
"You guys think I should ask? I mean there's nothing wrong in asking right", Torrie said.
"Its your funeral", Trish said, before walking away.
Undertaker and Orlando were in the middle of their match. Undertaker went for the pin, the ref was at two when he was suddenly pulled out by JBL.
"He can't do that", Cole said.
Taker looked towards JBL. He watched the ref yell at him before pointing his finger towards the back.
"Did the champ just get kicked out?", Taz asked.
"I believe he just did", Cole said.
JBL argued with the ref before making his way to the back. The ref climbed back in and started the match over. Orlando protested, not watching Taker. Orlando turned right into Taker's hand and got choke slammed. Taker pinned Orlando and the ref counted to three.
"Oh my god, Undertaker just won the title. He's the new WWE champion", Cole announced.
The ref handed Taker the title and Undertaker held it up while the crowd cheered. SmackDown ended with a new champion.
