Life Of A Superstar 3: SmackDown Vs. RAW 2, Pt. 2
Bonus 2: The Angle Invitational
WWE Champion Kurt Angle is in the ring to make a announcement
"You know, when asked earlier today who I thought deserved to face me for the WWE title at Vengeance, I gave my honest answer: There's no one on the RAW roster who can hold a candle to me. I won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck, and this isn't my first time wearing this baby around my waist. So if anyone in the locker room thinks they can take this from me, why don't you come out and try it!"
Chris came out, feeling confident.
"Kurt, if you're looking to put the WWE title on the line tonight, I'm the guy you're looking for."
"Hold your damn horses, Bucko! What have you done to deserve a title match? And who said anything about putting the title on the line tonight? I was just about to announce a number one contender tournament, starting next week. And because I'm feeling generous, I'll let you enter. If you win the tournament, and that's a big if, I'll give you a title match at Vengeance."
"That's fine by me. Tonight or at Vengeance! The WWE title is coming home with me!"
Voicemail from Shane
"This is Shane-O-Mac. I'm just calling to let you know that you've officially been entered in the No'1 contender tournament for the WWE title match at Vengeance. As a warm-up, you'll be in a tag team match with 2 other tournament members. Your partner is Shelton Benjamin, but don't get too chummy. You might end up facing off with him down the road. That's it. Good luck."
Chris and Shelton took on Chris Masters and Carlito. Chris knew he needs to advance into this tournament to take on Angle for the WWE title. Him and Shelton were successful in defeating their opponents.
Voicemail from Shelton
"Hey, it's Shelton. I just wanted to say good luck in your tournament match against Carlito. If you bring half the game you brought in our tag match last week, that fool won't know what hit him. And I hope it comes down to the two of us, because I know Kurt Angle won't be walking out of Vengeance with the WWE title."
So Chris flew solo in this match Vs. Carlito as did Shelton Vs. Chris Masters. Unfortunately, Shelton's match didn't go very well when he was thrown out of the ring. Kurt Angle just happened to be there. As Shelton slowly recovered, Kurt grabbed him from behind and there's the Angle Slam. Some tournament this is. Masters wins thanks to Angle.
Voicemail from Shelton
"Did you see that? Did you see what Angle did to me last week? I'll tell you what: Chris Masters and Angle aren't getting away with this. You got your No'1 contender match against Masters, right? Well I'm going out there with you so they don't that same stunt on you. You're gonna win this match, you're going to Vengeance and you're going to be the new WWE champion, I promise!"
Shelton joined Jones in his match against Masters and Angle in his corner. During the match, all four men were up against each other until Angle betrayed Masters with a Full Nelson. Shelton attacks Jones with a Spinning Wheel Kick and followed up with his T-Bone Suplex. I guess that promise Shelton made went up in smoke.
Voicemail from Shelton
"Hey, man. No hard feelings about last week, huh? Sorry I had to put you down like that, but business is business. Kurt Angle brought me into the WWE and someday I'm gonna be WWE champion, just like him. But until then, I have a lot to gain by watching his back and him watching mine. And since you probably want a piece of me now, that's exactly what he'll be doing in our No-NQ match tonight. So let me ask you something: Who's watching your back?"
After last week, Chris had to fight Shelton. He was promised by him about being the WWE champion at Vengeance. But now, this grudge match had to be settled and Chris settled it by putting Shelton down.
Vengeance
The tournament is over and Chris matches wits with Angle. But he needed to be cautious. Angle could go for the Ankle Lock anytime during the match and try to cripple him. To avoid this, some footwork was necessary. Angle tried many times to grab his ankle, but Chris kept countering it at any opportunity. This match was indeed grueling, Chris having to pick his shots accordingly. Chris finally gained an advantage when Angle tried one more for the Ankle Lock, and Chris punished him every time he tried this, and it paid off. Chris defeats Angle and becomes the WWE champion once again.
