*Continuation from Night Of Champions 2011
To anyone who read NOC 2011, the stories will no longer be done in a narrative format, and I will start speaking in the third person, as if the wrestler isn't the same person as me.
HELL IN A CELL 2011
The fallout from Night of Champions began on September 19. Hell In A Cell was in two weeks, and this RAW marked the very-first RAW SuperShow. For the first time ever, SmackDown Superstars and personnel took care of business on Monday nights by advancing their own feuds and storylines. Also, there would be interpromotional matches as well. This was done to help increase the audience of the blue brand, which had been slipping for months. And once a month, there would be a Super SmackDown, where RAW pays a visit to Friday nights. Despite the red brand's new format, there was still a serious brand split (Superstars can only challenge for their own brand's titles unless they ask to switch shows or are traded). The first RAW SuperShow was held at the newly-minted Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In a few weeks, the New Jersey Nets would become the Brooklyn Nets and start playing there. William Kelly-McLaurin, a Brooklyn native, contributed that idea, and also suggested that "...To Be Loved" by Papa Roach be used as the theme song that night. "...To Be Loved" was RAW's theme from October 2006 to November 2009, and was now returning for one night only. In the main event, Kelly-McLaurin was wrestling The Executioner and CM Punk, with the winner facing WWE Champion John Cena in New Orleans in two weeks (inside the Cell). Although Kelly-McLaurin and Executioner were embroiled in an intense rivalry, Punk got in the match by defeating Executioner and Jack Swagger the night before in a No-Holds-Barred tag-team match, with Randy Orton as his partner. Only Punk and Orton were allowed to use the No-Holds-Barred stipulation to their advantage.
Throughout the three-way, Executioner was heavily targeted instead of odd man out Punk. Kelly-McLaurin and the self-proclaimed Voice of the Voiceless did all they could to take the big man out of the equation multiple times in the match. Executioner at times was not fazed by the double-team and took over in the latter stages. At one point, he picked up both Kelly-McLaurin and Punk for a double Armageddon. Eventually, Punk was removed from the picture and Kelly-McLaurin and Executioner brawled with each other. Kelly-McLaurin got the upper hand however and destroyed his arch-nemesis with a steel chair. Not only did Kelly-McLaurin want the WWE Championship again (his reign as Undisputed Champion in late 2010 lasted less than a month), but Executioner trashed Brooklyn during the opening segment, and claiming that moving there won't help the Nets become a better basketball team. Now Kelly-McLaurin was fighting for vengeance and his hometown. Punk took Executioner out with a GTS, and locked in the Anaconda Vice on Kelly-McLaurin. RAW Money in the Bank winner Alberto Del Rio, who Punk cost the WWE Championship one night ago, came down to the ring with his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez and brutalized Punk. The two men took The Straightedge Superstar away from the match, but backstage Punk turned it into a brawl by gaining the upper hand. Executioner tried to seize the opportunity by hitting Armageddon, but Kelly-McLaurin broke free and hit Lights Out. ONE! TWO! THREE! William Kelly-McLaurin was victorious and going to Hell In A Cell. "My Time Is Now" played over the Barclays Center loudspeakers as Cena strolled down to the ring and raised up the WWE Championship. The two men, who happen to be good friends, smiled at each other as the show ended. The next week, there was a contract signing for the match. Although things started out cordial, it soon became heated. Kelly-McLaurin talked about everything Cena has failed to accomplish in the business yet, and this is only his second journey into the Devil's Playground, while this is his fifth. Cena discussed how for years, he has been held down by the WWE and just recently scratched and clawed his way to the top of the company. Cena proclaimed that on Sunday, the future begins for him and every member of the Cenation. The two brawled to end the show, as security guards and road agents had to break them up. Mike "The Flame" Anderson, the interim SmackDown General Manager and Kelly-McLaurin's best friend, also intervened and tried to stop the fight. At Hell In A Cell, two men will throw their friendship out of the way and brutalize each other for the richest prize in sports-entertainment. Will John Cena prove the future is now and end Hell In A Cell as WWE's biggest star? Or will William Kelly-McLaurin add another championship to his impressive resume and walk out of the demonic structure victorious?
