Tonight is No Way Out live from Paradise, Nevada in the Thomas Mark Center. Tonight when I defend MY World Heavyweight Championship in an Elimination Chamber match. Mathematically I have a 1 out of 6 chance of walking out still World Heavyweight Champion, but when you want to be the best math doesn't mean jack! I'M WALKING IN THAT CHAMBER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND I'M WALKING OUT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
I just arrived to the arena in my white Lexus wearing a blue blazer with a red shirt inside, black dress pants, and black dress shoes. Underneath my shoulders and forearms were bandages. I also have on my gold Rolex watch. I had MY World Heavyweight Championship around my shoulder along with a Nike duffel bag with my wrestling gear inside. Tonight is a defining moment for me. When I win the Elimination Chamber match I going to headline WrestleMaina XXIV (24) as World Heavyweight Champion!
LOCKER ROOM
I'm now in my personal locker room with my wrestling attire. Tonight I'm wearing my green attire. I was relaxing thinking about my Chamber match when the door opened to reveal my "Kings" and Christy. "There he is the World Heavyweight Champion!" Christy shouted hugging me.
"It's good to see you too Christy! I know your going to do successful retain your Divas Championship against Maryse. You just have find the right moment to strike." I advised and she smiled. She then looked at my bandage shoulders.
"Why are your shoulder and forearms bandage? Did you get into a fight?" she asked.
"You got tattoos?!" Ashley asked surprised about if I got tattoos.
"Yep. Check it out." I said removing my left shoulder bandage. Everyone looked and saw a large red dragon on a black cross with red jewels on it. Everyone looked amazed at the artwork and design. "Kofi when did you get this tattoo?" Charlie asked. "I got it yesterday. I went to famous tattoo artist and spent 8 hours getting it. I also got three more. One on my right shoulder and both of my wrist. This second one took 5 hours." I said as I removed the bandage on my right shoulder and revealed a large tribal black skull.
"Wow that looks badass dude!" Shelton said amazed.
"The last two combine took 8 hours." I said as I unwrapped my forearms bandages and revealed a black blue demon tattoo on both my left and right foreman. Everyone was in awe and I was smiling. "So what do you think?" I asked.
"Kofi you truly are a badass." Ash said kissing me.
"I know. I'm also thinking about getting a sword tattoo on my chest." I suggested.
"Alright Christy your defending your Divas Championship tonight in a rematch against Maryse. The RKO, KKO, or CKO is a Jumping Cutter that is dubbed as "the ultimate move out of nowhere." It can be performed at any time. Randy does the move extremely well. Just wait for the right moment to strike. I know you can do it." I said having confidence in her.
"Alright I'll do my best! I'll see you guys later." she said giving me a good luck kiss and left.
"So you that confident that she'll win?" Charlie asked turning to me.
"I know she'll win. All she has to do is find the right moment to strike." I said and relaxing.
10 MINUTES LATER
Maryse has Christy in a Boston Crab in the middle of ring. Christy is in pain trying to get to the ropes.
"Maryse is in control of this match is looking to get back her Divas Championship from Christy." Cole stated.
"Christy needs to get the ropes or she might have to tap!" JBL shouted.
Christy was struggling and desperately trying to get to the ropes as she was crawling, but then she realized something. "The RKO, KKO, or CKO is a Jumping Cutter that is dubbed as "the ultimate move out of nowhere." It can be performed at any time. Randy does the move extremely well. Just wait for the right moment to strike. I know you can do it." she remembered what I said and know she couldn't give up.
Christy twisted her body and countered Maryse's Boston Crab causing Maryse to fall down to the mat. Christy then ran at Maryse and nailed a Float-over DDT. She picked up Maryse, but Maryse pushed Christy off and nailed a Superkick. Maryse then picked up Christy looking for the end.
"Maryse looking for the French Kiss."
"If Maryse hits this it could be over."
Maryse went for the French Kiss, but Christy countered into the CKO! 1-2-3! Christy retained her Divas Championship! I know she could do it!
HERE IS YOUR WINNER:
AND STILL THE DIVAS CHAMPION CHRISTY HEMME!" the ref handed Christy her Divas Championship and she was celebrating while smiling.
5 MINUTES LATER
"I know you could do it!" I said to Christy as we kissed.
"Thanks. I just followed your advise." she said.
"Now you guys have to defend your Tag Team Titles against London and Kendrick in a Tables Match. You win this you won't have to worry about them until after WrestleMaina XXIV. So go out there and kick their ass once and for all!" I said and they nodded.
15 MINUTES LATER
Kendrick had Shelton on the top rope for a Superplex. There was a table positioned in the middle of the ring. Kendrick was fighting back with punches to the rib cage of Kendrick. While that was going on Charlie had London set up for a Powerbomb. However London countered with a Hurricanrana on the outside.
"Shelton Benjamin fighting back! Trying to avoid getting eliminated!"
"Kendrick trying to pull Benjamin off the ropes for a Superplex. Benjamin now has Kendrick in Powerbomb position. Shelton Benjamin goes a chance!" Cole shouted.
Shelton nailed a Sunset Flip Powerbomb through the table!
BRIAN KENDRICK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
When London heard that he was in shock. Now it was 2-on 1. London got in the ring and both him and Kendrick were arguing with the ref. The ref wasn't listening to it and said Kendrick was gone. London then turned to Kendrick just before Kendrick was about to leave the ring and was arguing with him. Kendrick said London has to do it on his own.
London was PISSED that he had to win this match without help. London then turned around and BAM! Superkick by Shelton! Charlie had step-up a table in the middle of ring. Shelton pushed London into the ropes and then Wrestling's Greatest Finisher! It's over!
HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS:
AND STILL THE WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS SHELTON BENJAMIN AND CHARLIE HAAS THE WORLD'S GREATEST TAG TEAM" Lillian announced as the ref handed both Tag titles to Shelton and Charlie. They celebrated in the ring and high-fived fans as they finished their rivalry with London and Kendrick.
Kendrick came back into the ring and helped his partner to his feet. Suddenly Kendrick hit a clothesline on London?! He started stomping away at his own partner! He then went outside the ring and grabbed a chair. He blasted London with the chair 3 straight times on the back. He set up the chair and picked London up. BAM! Powerbomb on the chair! Multiple refs escorted Kendrick out of the ring and medical personal aided to London. Everyone now knows that the team of Brian Kendrick and Paul London is no more.
5 MINUTES LATER
After Kendrick's assault on his now former tag team partner I was talking to Ashley about her upcoming Extreme Rules Fatal Four Way match for her Women's Championship. I know from her facial expression that she was mostly confident, but a little nervous.
"You going to win. You can either go crazy and beat the hell out everyone with weapons or you can just be scared and lose your Women's Championship." I seriously stated. She looked at me and then her Women's Championship. She then smiled at me.
"You know damn well I'm going to out there kick ass and walk out STILL Women's Champion!" she answered and I smiled knowing she picked the right answer.
"Now go out there and show the world why you are the Women's Champion!" I exclaimed and I gave her a good luck kiss before leaving.
20 MINUTES LATER
Ashley was outside fighting against Melina. Ash had a steel chair and blasted Melina with it face-first. In the ring Beth was on the top rope about deliver a Superplex to Jillian through a two tables. However Ashley came in the ring with a barbwire baseball bat.
"Beth going for a Superplex, but her comes Ashley with a barbwire baseball bat?!" Cole asked surprised.
"What's she planning?!"
"Whatever it is it's going to be amazing!"
BAM!
"What a shot!"
"That's going to leave a mark!"
Ashley blasted Beth in the back with the bat. She then went underneath Beth going for a Powerbomb. She saw the tables and used her strength to lift both Beth & Jillian. BAM! ASHLEY NAILED A POWERBOMB ON BETH AND BOTH HER & JILLIAN WENT THROUGH THE TWO TABLES!
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"the crowd chanted, but Ashley wasn't done. Ash went outside and grabbed two tables a 15 foot Ladder and duck tape underneath the ring! She pushed all four objects in the ring. She then set up the ladder and the two tables which were now on top of each other. She looked around and saw Melina recovering. She bounced off the ropes and then SPEAR THROUGH A TABLE!
Jillian recovered as well and charged at Ash only to get nailed with a Superkick. Ash picked up Jillian and hoisted her on her shoulders for a A-5. Beth then went from behind and hoisted Ashley up going for the Grand Slam, but Ashley countered into a Sunset Flip pin. However Ash quickly pushed Beth off and nailed a Superkick. Ash picked a chair and blasted Beth in the back 4 times.
Ash then picked Beth up and placed her on the bottom of the two tables. Ash then grabbed the duck taped and taped Beth around the table. Beth was struggling to get out, but it was no use. Ash then climbed the ladder and everyone was off the edge of their seats. Ash was at the top of the ladder and she then crossed her heart?! WHAT A MINUTE! SHE'S NOT GOING TO DO WHAT I THINK SHE IS?!
Ashley jumped off the 15 foot ladder and NAILED A LEAP OF FAITH THROUGH THE TWO TABLES! OH MY GOD! I KNEW SHE WOULD SOMETHING AMAZING, BUT THAT'S INSANE!
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" the crowd was echoing as Ashley just did an INSANE move! 1-2-3! ASHLEY RETAINS HER WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP!
HERE IS YOUR WINNER:
AND STILL THE WOMEN'S CHAMPION ASHLEY!" the ref handed Ashley her Women's title and crowd went insane.
"ASHLEY ROCKS! ASHLEY ROCKS! ASHLEY ROCKS!" the crowd was applauding and cheering for Ashley. Ash then climb the top of the ladder and held her Women's Championship high in the air. All I have to say is Ashley you are fucking awesome!
5 MINUTES LATER
"Okay I think I speak for everyone in this locker room, at home, in this arena, and around the world that what you just did was FUCKING AMAZING!" I yelled energetic and everyone nodded. Ashley smiled and leaned near me for a kiss.
"I just thought that I had to do something Extreme since the match called Extreme Rules. Plus I knew the WWE Universe would love it." she explained.
"Well you did a hell of a job." Shelton added.
"That Leap of Faith was crazy Ashley! You really stood out!" Charlie praised and Ashley smiled.
"Ashley are you okay? I saw what you did and I was amazed and worried at the same time!" Christy said concerned about her friend.
"Don't worry Christy. I'm totally fine." she said and Christy sighed in relief.
"Alright let's watch the rest of the show until my match comes." I said and everyone nodded. I went into my cooler and got three sodas. Fanta Orange for Shelton, Coke for Charlie, and Sprite for Ashley. Christy was drinking water and I was drinking Orange Gatorade. We chilled and relaxed through out the rest of the show.
The 16-time World Champion and future Hall of Famer Ric Flair was going up against Mr. Kennedy in a Career Threatening match. If Ric Flair loses then he'll be forced to retire which in my opinion would be an absolute travesty. Also if Ric Flair is going to forced into retirement it should against someone who has had a long history with him and will give him a match worth watching. Kennedy is probably salty about the fact that his the only person to lose his Money in-the Bank contract without cashing it in.
Now he wants to force the greatest World Champion in history into retirement? That's a load of crap. Throughout the match Kennedy was applying lots of damage and pressure on Flair's injured leg. However at the end of the match Flair tripped Kennedy and applied the Figure Four Leglock. After a minute or two Kennedy taped out cause Flair to win and not be forced to retire.
CM Punk and Chavo Guerrero battled it out for the ECW Championship. The two went back and forth giving a great match. Punk was setting Guerrero up for a Hurricanrana, but Guerrero grabbed the ropes causing Punk on the mat face-first. Guerrero capitalized and nailed a Frog Splash to retain his ECW Championship.
The next match was the SmackDown/ECW Elimination Chamber match for a World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV (24) for MY World Heavyweight Championship. The match itself is great. Every Superstar has one goal in mind and that to headline WrestleMania and face me for MY World Heavyweight Championship.
The first elimination was Big Daddy V who got pinned by Batista after Batista nailed a DDT on Big Daddy V on the steel floor. He lasted 9 minutes and 7 seconds. The second elimination was the Great Khali who was eliminated by the Big Show who blasted Khali with a WMD/KO punch. Khali lasted 12 minutes and 38 seconds. So far two giants have been eliminated and one giant remains.
The next elimination didn't happen until 10 minutes or so later. Kozlov was on a pod with nowhere to go and Big Show was tracking him down. Big Show launched his hand towards Kozlov's throat. BIG SHOW THEN LAUNCHED KOZLOV OFF THE POD! Finaly then went for the cover and got the three count.
It was now down to three men; Batista, Finaly, and Big Show. Big Show was now dominating the match with corner slingshot splashes to both Batista and Finaly. However Batista started fighting back with lefts and rights. He building momentum with clotheslines and a DDT. Finaly then stopped Batista's momentum with a shot to head with his cane.
Finaly continued his assault on Batista with his cane and stomped him multiple times. Finaly ran to the ropes going for clothesline only to get hit with a Big Boot by Big Show causing Finaly to roll outside the ring and to steel floor. Big Show then throw Finaly into the steel surface. Show then grabbed Finaly by the throat and then CHOKESLAM ON THE STEEL FLOOR! Big Show covered Finaly and got the pin.
It's now down to Big Show and Batista. I was thinking who would be a better opponent. Big Show is mainly power and a very hard opponent to get off his feet. However Batista is combination of power, speed, endurance, etc. Now I think about it Batista and I are very similar. He and I have the almost the same body type. However unlike Dave I'm also athletic and have great agility.
Batista and Big Show went back and forth. Big Show went for a Big Boot, but Batista ducked and followed with a kick in gut. Batista pulled Big Show up with all of his strength and then Batista Bomb! 1-2-3! Batista won and now has a match against me for MY World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXIV (24). I know I'm in for a fight knowing that Batista isn't a joke in the ring.
"Alright I'm next. I'm defending MY World Championship against five others Superstars my opinion the second most destructive structure in the WWE the Elimination Chamber. I'm walking in that Chamber World Champion and I'm walking out World Champion! Now it's time for the Black Beast to Be Unleashed!" I vowed walking out World Champion as I left.
"I feel bad for his opponents." Christy said.
"Why? Don't you what Kofi to win?" Ashley asked a little confused.
"No, I mean that the other participants in the Chamber match are going have their hands full because once Kofi says his catchphrase you better be ready for a fight."
"Yeah. We've all seen first hand want his capable of." Ashley said and everyone nodded.
"Coming up next is the Elimination Chamber match for the World Heavyweight Championship! Kofi defends his World Heavyweight Championship against MVP, Kane, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, and Rey Mysterio! John this surely going to be an amazing main event for SmackDown!" Cole stated energized.
"Your 100% right Micheal. This going to be one hell of match to six greatest wrestlers on SmackDown today compete for the World Heavyweight Championship!" JBL said energized as well.
"The following contest is a six-man Elimination Chamber match and is for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! The only to be eliminated is by pinfall or submission. The last Superstar standing will be the World Heavyweight Champion!" Lillian announced.
"Again to remind those of you who are unfamiliar with Elimination Chamber this are the rules. Four Superstars will enter the ring at random and enter the four pods outside the ring. The last two Superstars will enter in the ring and start the match. The match will continue until a Superstar has been eliminated by pinfall or submission. The Superstar standing will leave as World Heavyweight Champion!"
Slow Chemical played and out came the Big Red Machine Kane. He was the first to enter the ring. He went to the a pod on right near the steel steps. The refs locked his pod and all he was doing was smiling. Kane is going to have advantage depending on the order of the entrees.
"I'm Comin" played and out came the Ballin' Superstar MVP. He had his chain around his neck and he felt confident. He entered the pod horizontally to Kane's pod. The refs locked his pod and he was ready for a fight.
"Booyaka 619" by P.O.D. played and out came the Ultimate Underdog and Master of the 619 Rey Mysterio. The fans gave him a huge pop. Rey has been World Heavyweight Champion and looks to become World Champion again. He may be the smallest wrestler in the ring hasn't stopped Rey from overcoming the odds before. If he wins tonight he'll main event WrestleMania XXIV (24) as World Heavyweight Champion and not as the challenger like WrestleMania 22. Rey went to the pod that was diagonally to MVP's.
"Live for the Moment" by Monster Magnet played and out came Matt hardy the fourth participant and the final participant for the fourth Chamber. Matt received a huge pop like Rey did. Matt did his signature pose and went into the chamber. Matt was focused as was everyone else.
"Some Bodies Gonna Get It" played and out came the World's Strongest Man with another opportunity to become the World Heavyweight Champion. He had to be the most determined out of all the challengers in this match. He has wanted 12 years to become World Champion and hasn't done it. Tonight his going to go all out. He entered the ring waiting for the final entry.
"Next Big Thing" played and out came me the Black Beast, the World Heavyweight Champion Kofi! I got huge pop from the crowd. I entered the ring ready for battle. I know this would be a tough match considering that I'm defending my title in the Elimination Chamber against five other Superstars. Let's do this!
I'm going to paraphrase most of the Chamber match. This is only because I want to get this done quicker. This will rarely ever happen.
25 MINUTES LATER
It's done to me, Mark and Kane. The match has been hell! Everyone of us has had there own spotlight within the match and are selling the moves well. Mark and I started off in the ring and I was dominating. The pod to open was Matt's. The first elimination didn't happen until 11 minutes into the match. Matt was the first eliminated after he went for a Twist of Fate on Kane, but Kane countered into a Chokeslam on the steel floor. The second elimination didn't happen until 10 minutes after Matt's elimination. MVP was second after I blasted him with a Superkick and Rey nailed a 619. I then hoisted MVP up for a K-5 for the 1-2-3.
Rey then went up top for a Frog Splash on Mark, but Mark caught him in mid air and the World's Strongest Slam. Mark then got the 1-2-3. Mark was now in control as he had me and Kane on the turnbuckles. He ran at Kane full speed and nailed a clothesline. He then ran to me side for a clothesline, but I kicked him in the face. I then turned my back and he turned around for a Whisper in the Wind. BAM! My face meet a Big Boot by Kane. Kane then went after Mark and started appealing pressure on Mark's leg. However Mark was fighting back with lefts and rights. He stunned Kane and lifted the Big Red Monster for a Belly-to Belly Superplex. BAM! Mark then got be-headed with a Superkick by me.
Both Mark and Kane are done. I was thinking and made my mind. I dragged Kane towards Mark and laid him on top of Kane. I then lifted both of them off the mat on their feet. I then did want made the entire WWE shake. I hoisted BOTH KANE AND MARK HENRY ON MY SHOULDERS!
"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" the WWE Universe was chanting.
"Kofi has Kane and Mark Henry on his shoulders at the same time?! What strength!" Cole yelled in disbelief.
"Now THAT is power! That is god-given strength! That is 743 pounds!" JBL praised.
I then nailed a K-5 simultaneously! I then went to cover Kane 1-2-3!
KANE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
It was now done to me and Mark. I wanted to make another Elimination Chamber moment, so I know what I was going to do. I picked Mark going for a Powerbomb, but he countered with a massive clothesline. He then bounced off the ropes going for the World's Strongest Splash and connected. However I flipped off and hoisted Mark on my shoulders for a K-5! I then knew it was time.
I dragged Mark close to the turnbuckle and start climbing the turnbuckle. But I didn't stop as I was now jumping on top of one the pods! "Kofi is now on top of one the steel pods! Is he really going to do this?!" Cole said.
"You bet he is Micheal! Kofi said he would walk out World Heavyweight Champion and prove why he deserves to be World Champion!" JBL explained.
I was now at the top of the pod. I looked over at the crowd and they were cheering for me to jump. Alright let's do this! I ran to the end of the pod and spirited. I launched myself off the pod and perfectly nailed Black Storm! 1-2-3! Yes! I did it!
HERE IS YOUR WINNER:
AND STILL THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION KOFI!" Lillian announced as the ref handed me MY World Heavyweight Championship and the crowd exploded! "KOFI IS AWESOME! KOFI IS AWESOME! KOFI IS AWESOME!" the chanted and I gained the respect of the WWE Universe. I knew that some people see me as a Brock Lesnar ripoff while I just proved all the doubters wrong!
I climbed to the top of the Chamber holding MY World Championship high in the air as confetti came raining down. Not only did I retain my World Heavyweight Championship, but I'm going to main event WrestleMania XXIV or 24 as the World Heavyweight Champion!
LOCKER ROOM
"That was insane! I didn't know you were THAT strong and athletic!" Shelton praised me and was also shocked.
"I know, but I knew if I did something spectral that the WWE Universe would love it and they did it. Did you guys love it?" I asked.
"How could we not?! I mean I knew you were strong, but to lift Mark Henry AND Kane at the same time is unbelievable! And how the hell where you able to do that corkscrew 450 splash perfectly?" Ash asked.
"I just train. I knew I can't just be power, speed, athletic, and endurance. I have to have agility too. So I would my ass off to perfect top rope move and they work like a charm! But for now LET'S PARTY!" I yelled and everyone partied like it was 1994. We had beer, wine, soda, etc. We all had a blast! All of us retained our titles and are going to compete at WrestleMania!
John Cena got FUCKING screwed! Orton got himself DQ'd to retain the WWE Championship! John reacted with a FU through the RAW announce table and appealed an STFU. The RAW Elimination Chamber matched ended with Triple H winning after hitting a Pedigree on Shawn Micheals. I know for a fact that I'm going to have a challenge facing the Animal Batista at WrestleMania XXIV, but no matter who the opponent is I will conquer them and retain MY WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
