The Great American Bash was live at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The first match was a fatal four-way tag team match for the WWE Tag Team Championship in which John Morrison and The Miz defended the titles against Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, Jesse and Festus and Finlay and Hornswoggle. As the bell rang, Festus cleared the ring until The Miz and Morrison tossed Hornswoggle in the ring. The Miz and Morrison then jumped onto the ring apron, but Festus knocked them off. Hornswoggle dove out of the ring through the top and middle ropes to land on top of The Miz and Morrison. Throughout the match, the eight wrestlers would attempt to make physical contact with their respective partners to get themselves tagged into the match. Hawkins and Ryder won the titles after throwing Jesse off of the top rope and pinning him.

The next match was for the ECW Championship, with Mark Henry defending against Tommy Dreamer. Tommy Dreamer was on the turnbuckle about to finish Henry off but Delaney turned on him and pulled him into the top rope. Henry then executed the World's Strongest Slam to get the win.

The next match to determine the inaugural WWE Divas Champion between Michelle McCool and Natalya. McCool forced Natalya to submit with a Heel Hook. After the match, Eve Torres and Cherry joined McCool in the ring to celebrate.

The next match was a singles match between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. The match started and already Michaels suffered kayfabe cracked ribs and internal bleeding. During the match Jericho executed an elbow to Michaels' right eye. Michaels was bleeding for the remainder of the match. Lance Cade also interfered and executed many cheap shots on Michaels while the referee's back was turned. After Jericho executed many shots on Michaels' face the referee deemed Shawn Michaels unable to continue, therefore Chris Jericho was declared the winner.

And now the next match was the First Blood match for the WWE United States Championship between Jackal and the Bladewolf.


OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

The fans pop at the wolf howl as Kick Ass plays and out comes the Bladewolf who is looking for some payback and his third United States Championship reign. "The following contest is a First Blood match for the WWE United States Championship!" Justin Robert announced. "Introducing the challenger, from Death Valley, weighing 275lbs...THE BLADEWOLF!"

Bladewolf enters the ring and takes off his jacket, pacing back and fourth as his theme dies down.

Down with the Sickness hits to a loud mixed reaction. Jackal comes out with the WWE United States Championship around his waist. "And from Brooklyn, New York, weighing 290lbs, he is the WWE United States Champion... THE JACKAL!"

Jackal makes his way down the ramp and enters the ring, the two rivals staring each other down with glares. Jackal gives his title to the referee who shows it to everyone before giving it to someone at ringside then calls for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Bladewolf and Jackal immediately stepped forward and locked up with a test of strength before breaking it when neither could overpower the other. Bladewolf landed a right to Jackal's gut before driving his knee into his gut then applied a headlock takedown, landing a few rights to Jackal's skull before breaking the hold and drops an elbow onto Jackal's back. Bladewolf gets to his feet, grabs Jackal and Irish whips him off the ropes but they both meet with shoulder blocks that doesn't take them down. Jackal runs and rebounds off the ropes but Bladewolf got behind Jackal and hits a German Suplex, sending Jackal across the ring.

Bladewolf gets to his feet and walks towards the champion and stomps on his back before dragging him into the corner where he relentlessly stomps away before backing off. Bladewolf runs and crashes his knee into Jackal's body, pulls him away from the corner and delivers a hard stomp to Jackal's forehead. He stomped several times on Jackal's skull before backing off a little, taking Jackal down when he got to a knee.

Bladewolf grabs Jackal in a waist lock before hitting a second German Suplex. He holds on as he then hits another German Suplex, then another, then another, and then another, hitting six in a row. Bladewolf lays on Jackal and drives his knees into Jackal's knees before Bladewolf rolls out of the ring and looks underneath it, pulling out a steel chair and slides back into the ring, looking to hit Jackal...BUT JACKAL HITS A SPINEBUSTER OUT OF NOWHERE!

Jackal gets to his feet and checks his form but doesn't see any blood. He grabs Bladewolf and Irish whips him into a corner before running and hits a turnbuckle clothesline then pulls him into a clothesline that takes him down to the mat.

Jackal then stomps away on Bladewolf, dropping his knee to Bladewolf's gut. Jackal then picks up the steel chair and begins using it on Bladewolf, smacking the chair off his arms, legs, chest, back, anywhere he can hit to injure his opponent. Jackal then tosses the chair aside before picking Bladewolf up and gets him onto his shoulders but Bladewolf rights back with elbows to Jackal's head and then gets off before hitting a DDT out of nowhere.

Bladewolf slowly gets to his feet, using the ropes to help him. He runs and hits an elbow drop on Jackal's chest before hammering away at Jackal's skull violently, forcing the United States Champion to cover up. Bladewolf gets to his feet and grabs Jackal, pulling him to his feet and tosses him into a corner. Bladewolf goes for a turnbuckle clothesline but Jackal moves out of the way, causing Bladewolf to hit the turnbuckle.

Jackal takes Bladewolf down with a Neckbreaker before delivering an elbow across the chest. Jackal gets on top of Bladewolf and begins hammering away with lefts and rights, causing Bladewolf to cover up as both men were WO determined to bust the other open. Jackal gets to his feet before grabbing the chair as Bladewolf gets to his feet...BUT JACKAL HITS THE CHAIR ACROSS BLADEWOLF'S FOREHEAD!

Bladewolf falls on his front as Jackal attacks violently with the chair until it's broken. He exits the ring and grabs another steel chair and gets back into the ring as Bladewolf stumbles to his feet. Jackal goes to strike but Bladewolf ducks and lifts Jackal into a Fireman's Carry...BEFORE HITTING THE FURY OF THE WOLF!

Bladewolf grabs Jackal and then tosses him into the steel steps, causing Jackal to hold his shoulder. Bladewolf picks Jackal up and looks at the steel ring post, looking to bash Jackal's head off it...BUT JACKAL PUSHES BLADEWOLF HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST!

Jackal crawls away a bit as Bladewolf goes to a knee and the camera sees that Bladewolf hasn't been busted open from the hit to the head. Bladewolf shakes his head and stands up before taking off his sleeveless shirt and uses it to check if he was bleeding. Jackal uses this chance to lull a sledgehammer out from underneath the ring...AND DRIVES IT INTO BLADEWOLF'S GUT!

Bladewolf falls to his knees as Jackal lines the sledgehammer with his skull before raising it...BUT BLADEWOLF HITS A LOW BLOW OUT OF NOWHERE! Jackal groans and falls to the ground, dropping the sledgehammer. Both men were down now.

Bladewolf is the first up to his feet and he grabs the sledgehammer, waiting for Jackal to face him...BEFORE BASHING IT OFF HIS SKULL! Bladewolf drops the sledgehammer and leans against the barricade, watching as Jackal clutches his head, the referee trying to see if he was bleeding but Jackal wasn't bleeding so the match was to continue.

Bladewolf walks towards Jackal, looking to do more damage... BUT JACKAL HITS A LOW BLOW! Bladewolf falls to his knees as Jackal gets to his feet before getting Bladewolf in a headlock...AND HITS A DDT OFF THE CONCRETE FLOOR! Jackal gets to his feet before walking over to the announce tables, taking apart the RAW announce table before walking back over to Bladewolf and drags him over to the table and tosses him onto it.

Jackal enters the ring and goes up to the top rope before leaping off...AND HITS AN ELBOW DROP THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!

'This is awesome! This is awesome! This is awesome!' The fans chanted.

Jackal and Bladewolf slowly move in pain before Jackal gets to his feet first, grabs Bladewolf and tosses him back into the ring. Jackal grabs a camera off a cameraman before waiting for Bladewolf to get to his feet, once he does and he turns around... HE NAIOS BLADEWOLF IN THE HEAD WITH THE CAMERA!

Jackal tosses the camera out of the ring and waits to see if he won. The referee looks at Bladewolf and sees blood flowing down...BLADEWOLF IS BUSTED WIDE OPEN! JACKAL RETAINS!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Down with the Sickness hits as Jackal raises his arms. "Here is your winner and STILL United States Champion... THE JACKAL!" Jackal is given his title and he raises it, looking smug as the fans boo and cheer him on. He turns around... INTO A CAMWRA STRIIE TO THE HEAD!

Bladewolf was furious that he lost and showed no mercy as he gets to a knee and violently hammers away at Jackal's skull until blood starts coming out. The referee tries pulling Bladewolf off but Bladewolf knocks the referee out. Bladewolf grabs Jackal, lofts him onto his shoulders... BEFORE HITTING THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!

Bladewolf gets to his feet and stands tall before exiting the ring. Everyone knows this rivalry between them isn't over, not by a long shot.


What an ending, huh? Jackal wins and retains his title while Bladewolf looses. Anyway, that's it for The Great American Bash 2008 chapter. But what's next for Bladewolf? Will he resume his rivalry with Jackal? Or will he focus of getting back the WWE Championship which is currently held by Triple H?
