WrestleMania 24 was live at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. The first match was a Belfast Brawl between Finlay and John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL), a match in which there were no disqualifications or countouts and the match outcomes could have occurred anywhere. Finlay was accompanied to the ring by his storyline son, Hornswoggle, who was returning from a scripted injury suffered at the hands of JBL. During the match, JBL hit Finlay with a trash can lid when the latter was about to perform a suicide dive on him through the ropes on the outside.
Later on, Finlay tossed JBL through a table that he had set up earlier on the turnbuckle. Hornswoggle also got involved during the match by hitting JBL with a kendo stick, while later on JBL threw a trash can at him. Attacking Finlay's knee with a kendo stick, JBL delivered a Clothesline from Hell to Finlay to score a successful pinfall. This was an interpromotional match.
The next match was the Money in the Bank match.
In the arenas the bell was rung and Lillian Garcia began introductions. "The following contest is the MONEY IN THE BANK LADDER MATCH!" The entire crowd popped loudly. John Morrison's theme hits and one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions makes his way out. "Introducing the participants first, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 219lbs, he is one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions...JOHN MORRISON!" Morrison makes his way down the long ramp,raising his title.
When Morrison reaches the end of the ramp, Carlito's theme hits and out he comes. "Introducing next, from the Caribbean, weighing 220lbs...CARLITO!" Lillian introduced as Carlito makes his way down the ramp, holding the Apple in hand.
When he reaches the end of the ramp, his theme is replaced by Shelton Benjamin's and the Gold Standard from ECW comes out. "From Orangeburg, South Carolina, weighing 240lbs...SHELTON BENJAMIN!" Benjamin makes his way down the ramp, looking confident that he will win tonight.
CM Punk's theme hits and the Straight Edge Superstar comes out to a pop from the fans. "And from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 222lbs...C.M...PUNK!" Punk makes his way down the ramp with a determined look to win this match and get a shot at the WWE, World Heavyweight, or ECW Championships.
Once he reaches the end of the ramp and enters the ring, Kennedy's theme plays and out he comes. "From Green Bay, Wisconsin, weighing 243lbs...MR. KENNEDY!" Kennedy makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring, taking off his vest as he does.
The next theme to hit is MVP's and SmackDown's United States Champion comes out. "From Miami, Florida, weighing 234lbs, he is the United States Champion, Montel Vontavious Porter...M.V.P!" MVP heads down the ramp, looking determined.
His theme is then cut off and replaced by Chris Jericho's who comes out to a pop from the fans. "And weighing 227lbs...CHRIS JERICHO!" Jericho poses on the stage before making his way down the ramp for his first WrestleMania match in a few years. Once Jericho reached the end of the ramp, was cut off.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Vengeful One hits to a loud ovation from the fans as pyro exploded on the stage before the Bladewolf came out with the Intercontinental Championship around his waist. "And from Death Valley, weighing 275lbs, he is the current WWE Intercontinental Champion... THE BLADEWOLF!"
Bladewolf was back to wearing the faded black, 3/4-length, hooded leather jacket with red interior linings and the British Union flag sewn on the left arm. Aside from that, the rest of his attire was the same.
Bladewolf makes his way down the long ramp, taking off the Intercontinental Championship halfway down and placing it on his shoulder. Bladewolf gives it to an official before taking off his jacket then rolls into the ring,throwing off his sleeveless shirt as well and adjusting his elbow pads as his theme dies down.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
As soon as the bell rung, everyone bailed to go grab a ladder except MVP. Kennedy was the first out but the Bladewolf runs at the ropes before leaping over...AND HITS A SUICIDE DIVE ON KENNEDY! Bladewolf gets to his feet and delivers a few stomps to the chest of Kennedy before looking in the ring to see MVP connect with a big boot on John Morrison and a ladder shot to CM Punk before taking Oi Carlito and Benjamin with a ladder.

Bladewolf snatches the ladder and tosses it aside before grabbing Morrison and hits a German Suplex into the set up ladder, toppling it. Bladewolf gets to his feet and grabs Morrison but Jericho attacks from behind with several rights to the back, causing Bladewolf to cover up as Jericho gets him into a corner.

BLADEWOLF HAS WON THE MONEY IN THE BANK MATCH!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Vengeful One plays to a pop as Bladewolf looks at the briefcase before laughing. "Here is your winner... THE BLADEWOLF!" Bladewolf raises the briefcase over his head. He now has a shot at becoming the WWE Champion again, but there ARE two other options.
Bladewolf climbs down from the ladder and grabs his Intercontinental Championship before leaving the ring, walking backwards up the stage as everyone was recovering. Bladewolf stands at the start of the stage before lifting both the Money in the Bank briefcase and the WWE Intercontinental Championship.
Royal Rumble winner, 5-time World Champion, still undefeated at WrestleMania, and now Mr. Money in the Bank. That is some great accomplishments for the Bladewolf, who is now 11-0 at WrestleMania. He now has an opportunity to choose to go for the World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE Championship, or the ECW Championship.
And that's it for WrestleMania 24. The Bladewolf is Mr. Money in the Bank. Also, most of the other matches are the same. I was going to have Triple H win the WWE Championship but decided not to, so apart from the Monwy in the Bank match, the other matches had the same results.Also, here's an updated Bladewolf superstar profile.

Bio: At a young age, George watched WWE and dreamed of being a WWE Superstar. So he trained on the streets, occasionally getting into fights with those that mocked him and did sometimes get beat up in this weights but that's one of the reasons he trained for wrestling. When he 18 was years old, he began wrestling in independent events at places like school gyms, his performance soon earning the attention of WWE when they sent a talent scouter out and they noticed him.
In October 1997, Vince McMahon himself paid George a visit and offered him a job, just a month off from the young man's 18th birthday. George immediately agreed and would make his debut the following week on Monday Night RAW. Vince wanted George's character to be a lost, younger brother of the Undertaker and Kane, an idea George agreed to.
George became the youngest WWE Champion in history when he defeated Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 14, winning the title at only 18 years old. He also has an undefeated streak of his own.
George has defeated many superstars over the years, Undertaker, Kane, Stone Cold, Triple H, The Rock, Big Show, Hulk Hogan, Booker T, Brock Lesnar, Shane McMahon, Kevin Nash, among many others he's faced. He's won matches and he's lost matches. He is a 6-time Intercontinental Champion, an 8-time World Tag Team Champion, a 3-time WWE Tag Team Champion, a 2-time United States Champion, a 3-time WWE Champion, and a 1-time World Heavyweight Champion.
In 2005, before WrestleMania 21, Bladewolf was attacked by Randy Orton, who was facing Undertaker at WrestleMania, and left him with an injury that put Bladewolf out of action for 10 months. He returned at the 2006 Royal Rumble and won the match. He faced Randy Orton at No Way Out inside a Hell in a Cell match, which he won. Bladewolf would go on to win the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22 for the first time in his career and go 9-0 at WrestleMania. However, Bladewolf's leg injury forced him to vacate the title and take two months off.
He returned in June on Monday Night RAW, and began a rivalry with Rob Conway that involves Maria, who he began an off screen relationship with which went on screen after Bladewolf's rivalry with Conway ended. After this, h reformed Wolfpack with Jackal and Bladewolf scored his 9th World Tag Team Championship reign. Bladewolf also won the WWE Intercontinental Championship for a 7th time but this caused Jackal to turn on him, turning Heel.
The two had a Hell in a Cell match at SummerSlam, which Jackal won and ended Bladewolf's reign at 27 days. Bladewolf returned to WWE at Cyber Sunday as a mystery opponent in Jackal's title match against Jeff Hardy. Bladewolf ended up winning the match to become an 8-time Intercontinental Champion. After this, Jackal went to ECW while Bladewolf went on to loose his title two weeks later to Jeff Hardy thanks to Big Show and Umaga.
Bladewolf became a member of John Cena's survivor Series team and got the team the victory but Bladewolf had s condition with joining Cena's team and that was a WWE Championship match the next night on RAW. Bladewolf won the match and became a 4-time WWE Champion. Bladewolf went on to defeat John Cena at Armageddon and the 2007 Royal Rumble, became World Tag Team Champions with Shawn Michaels, defeated Batista & Undertaker at No Way Out in a tag team match with Shawn Michaels, defeated Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 23 to go 10-0, the next night Bladewolf turned Heel for the first time in his career. He reunited the Wolfpack and they dominated Monday Night RAW.
Bladewolf went on to hold the WWE Championship for 304 days, defeating all challengers at Backlash, Vengeance, The Great American Bash, SummerSlam, and Unforgiven. He turned Face at the Great American Bash after shaking Bobby Lashley's hand. He was stripped of the WWE Championship after suffering an injury at the hands of Randy Orton.
He returned at Survivor Series as part of Triple H's team, replacing Matt Hardy. He then returned full time after defeating Jeff Hardy on the 15th anniversary of RAW, winning his 9th Intercontinental Championship. Bladewolf failed to win the 2008 Royal Rumble, and an Elimination Chamber match at No Way Out, but qualified for the Money in the Bank match, which he won to go 11-0 at WrestleMania.
