In the arena, La Resistance's theme plays and out comes the World Tag Team Champions who make their way down the ramp and enter the ring for this 2-on-1 Handicap match against the Bladewolf.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf plays and out comes the Bladewolf with the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist. he walks down the ramp and enters the ring over the top rope, staring down the Tag Team Champions who look a little scared.
Suddenly PSYCHO hits to a loud shocked pop and...OUT COMES THE JACKAL! THE JACKAL IS BACK IN WWE!
"What the?!" JR was shocked. "It's the Jackal! Jackal is back in WWE! it had been rumoured for weeks!"
"What the hell is he doing here?!" Jerry said.
"Whatever he wants to be here for!" JR replies.
Jackal smiles and laughs as he slaps a few fans hands before he slides into the ring and stands next to Bladewolf who stares coldly at him which jackal notices and his theme dies down as the two former tag team champions and partners stare each other down.
"Jackal and Bladewolf, once a duo known as the Wolfpack." JR said as the crowd was going nuts over this.
'Wolfpack! Wolfpack! Wolfpack!' The crowd chanted which caused Jackal to look while Bladewolf kept his stare on Jackal before both men suddenly turned and double boot the World Tag Team Champions.
"Woah!" Jerry went wide eyed at the sudden teamwork between the two.
Bladewolf takes off his coat and gets out onto the ring apron, taking his title and metallic mask off as well as the referee calls to bell to begin this now tag team match.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
"I'm shocked to see Jackal is back here in WWE." JR said as Jackal applies a headlock on Rob Conway. "We haven't seen Jackal in WWE since 2002 because he quit after being injured at the hands of Brock Lesnar."
"And now we have a Wolfpack reunion." Jerry points out but Bladewolf was just staring blankly at the action. "What do you think is going through Bladewolf's mind, JR?"
"I don't know and I don't want to know, King." JR shakes his head.
Jackal brings his forearm down into Conway's chest before getting to his feet, lifts Conway up and slams him to the mat hard. Jackal drags Conway over to his corner and holds his hand out to tag Bladewolf in but Bladewolf stares at him coldly so Jackal slaps him on the chest to make the tag.
"Weird tag there." Jerry said as Bladewolf enters the ring and gets into an eye to eye staredown with Jackal. "I thought these two were friends."
"Remember, a lot has happened since Jackal was last here." JR pointed out. "Bladewolf has become the demonic monster he once was. These two once had a brutal Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 3 years ago that is still talked about to this day.
Bladewolf stomps on Conway as Jackal gets out onto the ring apron. Bladewolf picks Conway up and hits a German Suplex, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another.
"My God, that was a lot of German Suplexes." Jerry said.
Conway's partner, Sylvain Grenier, runs into the ring...BUT JACKAL HITS A SPEAR! Jackal sees Bladewolf lift Conway up as if going for the Flapjack...AND JACKAL NAILS A CUTTER COMBINATION!
"Woah!" JR exclaimed.
"Was that the 3-D or something?" Jerry asks as Bladewolf stares at Jackal who smirks and shrugs before he exits the ring.
Bladewolf covers Conway! ONE! TWO! THREE!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Devil's Wolf plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet but Bladewolf did not take his eyes off Jackal at all. Jackal and Bladewolf stare each other down before Jackal heads to the back.
Backstage, Eric Bischoff is watching the show and he smirks at seeing Bladewolf and Jackal together again. He takes his phone out and calls someone. "Coach! I got an idea! Next week, Bladewolf and Jackal vs La Resistance for the World Tag Team Championship, then the Wolfpack vs the WWE Tag Team Champions at Survivor Series to decide the better tag team."
Laughing, he hangs up...
So, Jackal is back and there seems to be a Wolfpack reunion trying to happen on jackal's side but Bladewolf is still a Heel and doesn't team with anybody anymore. Can Jackal convince his old partner to go through with the Wolfpack reunion before Survivor Series.
And yeah, their new finishing move will be the Flapjack/Cutter combo, which is one of the best tag team finishers I have ever seen and it has been done by other tag teams, not just the Dudley Boyz.
