WWE WrestleMania 25 was live at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Money in the Bank ladder match was the start of the event as the participants: CM Punk, Kane, Mark Henry, MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston, Christian, and Finlay, fought for the briefcase that was suspended. The match was littered with many notable moments, including a series of the match's combatants performing dives onto the floor of the arena onto each other, as well as Benjamin diving off of the top of a ladder with a senton bomb onto his opponents. The ladder was also used as a weapon by the competitors, which saw it being thrown at each other or, in the case of Kingston, to be used as extra force dropped on their chest as Kofi incapacitated them by draping the collapsed ladder over their bodies and leg dropping onto the ladder. The finish came with Punk and Kane on top of the ladder, which saw Punk execute a series of kicks on Kane from atop the ladder, knocking him off. Punk went on to win the match after he grabbed the hanging briefcase to win the match, winning this year after coming close to winning it last year but the winner of that match was the Bladewolf.
After the match, Kid Rock performed a live medley of songs: "Bawitdaba", "Rock N Roll Jesus", "Cowboy", "All Summer Long", and "So Hott". During the last song, the female competitors of the WWE would come to the ring to compete in a 25-Diva battle royal, to crown "Miss WrestleMania". The match featured Divas that were employed by WWE at the time and Divas that had worked for WWE in the past. Santino Marella, who portrayed a diva called "Santina", his twin sister, won the match and was crowned "Miss WrestleMania". Mae Young acted as the special guest timekeeper of the match while Candice Michelle was the one who gave the sash and crown to Santina.
The next match featured Chris Jericho facing Ricky Steamboat, Jimmy Snuka, and Roddy Piper (who were accompanied to the ring by Ric Flair) in a three-on-one handicap elimination match. Before long, Jericho had caused Snuka to submit the Walls of Jericho. He then pinned Piper after an enzuigiri. Steamboat, however, would outlast his partners as he was able to execute a number of his signature moves including arm drags, chops, and a plancha. Jericho was able to regain control of the match by connecting with the Codebreaker, pinning Steamboat to win the match. After the match, Jericho challenged Mickey Rourke, sitting at ringside, to come into the ring. Rourke finally entered the ring and knocked Jericho onto the canvas with a punch before being commended by Ric Flair.
The fourth bout was the Extreme Rules match between brothers Jeff and Matt Hardy. This featured a multitude of moments that saw the Hardys assault each other with many different weapon-based attacks, which included assaults with numerous objects under the ring and Jeff splash from the top turnbuckle through a pair of tables, with Matt sandwiched between the two and a chair. Jeff, seeking to end the match, attempted to set up a ladder for him to ascend while he would perform a maneuver similar to a leapfrog over the hurdle, and diving down in a seated position known as a leapfrog leg drop, ultimately missing his target, due to Matt's last-minute dodge, which resulted in Matt gaining the advantage over his brother. He then forced Jeff's head in between the seat and back of a steel chair, then executed the Twist of Fate with Jeff's head in the chair to win the match via pinfall.
A singles match for the Intercontinental Championship was next, in which Rey Mysterio faced defending champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield. Before the match started, JBL kicked Mysterio and punched him down to the ground for a few seconds. But once the referee started the match, Mysterio surprised JBL by quickly executing the 619 before pinning him for a win via pinfall in twenty seconds. Following the match, a frustrated JBL grabbed a microphone and proclaimed, "I quit!". This has been JBL's last singles match as an active performer. The match marked the first time since WrestleMania X8 that the Intercontinental Championship has been defended at a WrestleMania event.
The next match pitted The Undertaker against Shawn Michaels. Michaels made his entrance descending on a platform to symbolize the light; in sharp contrast, The Undertaker entered second, ascending from the floor with fire shooting up from the stage. The match began with a fast pace by both men going for strikes to have them countered before Michaels feigned a knee injury to gain the advantage, and the pace slowed. This led to an exchange of signature moves and submission holds, which saw Michaels escape The Undertaker's Hell's Gate and dodge multiple attempts at the chokeslam while Undertaker blocked attempts at Michaels' Sweet Chin Music. The action went to the outside of the ring with Michaels attempting a moonsault, only to have The Undertaker avoid the attempt. This led to The Undertaker attempting a suicide dive over the top rope, only to have Michaels pull the nearby cameraman (played by Sim Snuka) into Undertaker. The spot, however, did not go as intended.
The idea was for Michaels to push the referee out of the way, and pull Snuka into the path of Undertaker and for Snuka to catch Undertaker before he hit the ground. However, Snuka was standing too far back and Undertaker landed almost head first on the protective mats surrounding the ring. He remained on the floor of the arena for some time, while Michaels revived the referee, rolling him back into the ring and having the referee start to count out the Undertaker. The referee began to count as the Undertaker started to revive, and when the official got to the count of 9, Undertaker rolled into the ring, managing to beat the count of 10. The match continued with both men performing all of their respective finishing moves. The Undertaker executed the Last Ride and chokeslam, Michaels executed Sweet Chin Music twice and Undertaker executed a Tombstone Piledriver on Michaels - all of which scored near-falls. Undertaker won the match after Michaels attempted another moonsault only to be caught in mid-air, and landed into another Tombstone Piledriver. As a result of this victory, The Undertaker remained undefeated at WrestleMania, extending his record to 17–0.
Next up was the Fatal 4-Way Elimination match for the World Heavyweight Championship match.
The cameras went to the ring and the bell rang to get everyone's attention for the next match. Vickie Guerrero – who was once again in her wheelchair – was being wheeled down the entrance ramp by her nephew Chavo Guerrero. "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, General Manager: Vickie Guerrero!" announced Lillian Garcia. Apparently, due to her personal involvement in the feud, Vickie Guerrero was going to have a floor seat for this main event match. The fans booed and Vickie scowled in irritation while Chavo wheeled her around the ring to her spot next to the commentary table. Lillian Garcia continued her pre-match introduction, "The following is a Four-Man Elimination Match, a competitor is eliminated by pinfall or submission, and the winner will be the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!"
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME! Lights flashed and Metalingus sounded through the arena, and the crowd booed as Edge walked out from the back wearing a long gray coat, red tights, black boots, and the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Edge stopped partway down the very long entrance ramp, before he reached the fans alongside it and raised his arms up into the air. A volley of multicolored pyro explosions went off being Edge as he posed on the ramp, then continued his journey down the ramp towards the ring. Edge was coming in as World Heavyweight Champion, but he didn't have any of the Champion's advantages. There were no disqualifications and no count outs, he would be weaseling out of this match on a technicality, if he tried to the fans would probably storm the ring and lynch him. Edge had a large task in front of him, he'd have to beat Big Show, the Bladewolf, and John Cena, three of the top competitors in the WWE if he planned to walk out as the champion. Edge's only advantage going into this match was that unlike a typical fatal-4-way match, he had to be pinned to lose his championship. Edge made it down to the ring and slipped under the bottom rope, then pushed himself up and went to the corner where he posed on the middle rope before he climbed down and turned to face the stage, awaiting his opponents.
WEEEEEEELLLLL… IT'S THE BIG SHOOOOOWWWW! Crank it Up played as white pyro exploded on the stage. The Big Show walked out from the back wearing black boots and a typical black one shoulder strap singlet. Edge took off his gray coat and handed it to someone at ringside while Big Show finished his trip down the ramp. Big Show walked up the steps and stepped over the top rope, then leaned on the ropes and did his one-armed pose while a second blast white pyro exploded behind him. As is the case with any match he's in, Big Show had the size, height, and weight advantage in this match. He would be a tough competitor to eliminate due to his sheer size. Edge stood at ringside by the steps and stared at Big Show, who walked over to the corner and stared out at Vickie Guerrero, before he turned around to face the entrance ramp.
OOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf hit to cheers from the fans as the lights dimmed to the sinister blood red and fire exploded on the stage. Two black wolves came out onto the stage and sat still before a part of the stage opened up and fire shot out of it befor eit died down and soon Bladewolf rose out of the ground like the Devil rising from Hell and coming to Earth. Bladewolf's ring attire had changed.
He wore a sleeveless top similar to the Undertaker's 1999 Ministry attire but without the cutout part, on the front was a large image of the Demonic wolf skull with hellfire eyes, the words 'The Demon Wolf above it and the word 'Unleashed' underneath the image. On his black wrestling tights, Bladewolf had the Grim Reaper with a wolf on the right leg, and the wolf skull on the left leg.
The coat was the same though, and the mask was still there.
Bladewolf stands up and lets out a wolf howl which the two black wolves copy before they went backstage and Bladewolf begins his walk down the long ramp towards the ring. He was looking to win his 2nd World Heavyweight Championship and become a 10-time World Champion. Bladewolf reached the end of the ramp and stood at the ring apron, staring at Big Show and Edge before he climbs onto the ring apron and then steps over the top rope, taking his coat off.
Bladewolf stands in a corner and stares down Edge and Big Show.
Suddenly, WORD LIFE playsand the fans cheered as they recognized John Cena's old theme music. But it wasn't John Cena that came out, IT WAS AN ARMY OF JOHN CENAS! Over fifty young men wearing jean shorts, Cena t-shirts and Cena caps walked own the ramp and lined the sides... FIFTY JOHN CENAS! ONE WAS ENOUGH! The army of John Cenas stood lining the ramp and the ones on the left raised their right hand while the ones on the right raised their left hand, white pyro exploded on the stage while the John Cenas all turned as one and did the 'You Can't See Me' gesture. My Time is Now played as the real John Cena ran out from the back wearing the same hat, t-shirt, jean shorts, blue wrist bands, and sneakers that the other fifty John Cenas were wearing. Cena stood at the top of the ramp and did his signature salute then ran in between the rows of John Cenas down the ramp and slipped into the ring.
Cena posed in the ring and threw his hat into the crowd as his theme died stood in the corner by the steps while Bladewolf occupied the one on the same side of the ring as him, leaving Cena standing in the final corner. Lillian Garcia and the referee stood in front of the ropes in between John Cena and Big Show. "Introducing the challengers," announced Lillian Garcia, "first, standing at seven feet tall, weighing in at four hundred forty-one pounds...THE BIG SHOW!" Big Show walked out of his corner and into the middle of the ring and raised his right arm up into the air, he ignored the fans as he returned to his corner.
"Next, from West Newbury Massachusetts…" Cena walked into the middle of the ring and stood there as Lillian continued, "weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds, JOHN CENA!" Cena struck one of his signature Cena poses and the fans cheered as he returned to his corner.
"And from Death Valley, weighing 310 lbs...THE BLADEWOLF!" Bladewolf remained in his corner while the fans cheered.
"And from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at two hundred and forty-one pounds, he is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Rated R Superstar, EDGE!" Edge took off his championship belt and raised it up above his head while he was showered in boos from the crowd. Edge kissed his gold and handed it over to the referee, who held it over his head to signify that it was on the line, the showed it to the other three competitors then handed it to someone at ringside. The referee walked back into the middle of the ring and saw that the four competitors were all ready to go, he called for the bell.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
As soon as the bell rung, Bladewolf charged at Big Show but got picked up and shoved into the corner hard, making him roll out the ring while Cena attacked Edge with a pair of shots to the stomach and a forearm to the face. Cena saw Big Show coming up from behind and sprang away from Edge and ran passed Big Show...AND BIG SHOW CLOTHESLINED EDGE! Cena attacked Big Show with a pair of punches to the stomach, but they didn't faze the giant, who swung at Cena with one of his big right hands, but Cena ducked and ran into the rope, then bounced off and grabbed Edge as he came passed...AND HE HITS A ONE-ARMED BULLDOG! Cena ran to the ropes again and bounced off then lunged at Big Show...AND HIT A FLYING SHOULDER TACK—BIG SHOW KNOCKED CENA TO THE SIDE WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK!
Cena ended up sprawled on the mat while Big Show stood over him, Edge got back up behind Big Show, but decided against attacking him. Big Show turned around and saw Edge standing there, Edge pointed to Cena and held his hand up, suggesting that they should work together to eliminate Cena and then setting things between them. Big Show nodded and grabbed Edge's hand...THEN LIFTED HIM UP AND DROPPED HIM ON THE TOP ROPE!
Edge landed in an extremely uncomfortable position and Big Show only made it worse by grabbing the top rope and shaking it up and down. Edge fell off of the top rope and hit the mat hard, Big Show pulled Edge up to his feet then pushed him...AND HITS A BIG HEADBUTT! Edge staggered into the corner and slumped against it, but Big Show grabbed him and turned him around...AND CHOPPED HIM ACROSS THE CHEST!
Big Show grabbed Edge and whipped him across the ring...BUT CENA CAUGHT HIM AND HOISTED HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Cena stood there for a moment and prepared to finish Edge off early, but Big Show noticed something behind Cena and stayed where he was. Bladewolf had come back into the match and was up on the top rope before he jumped off...AND TOOK CENA AND EDGE DOWN! Cena went crashing down to the mat with Edge on top of him, the latter of the two rolled out of the ring and dropped down to the floor. At the same time, Bladewolf got to his feet and took a few extra steps...AND DUCKED THE KNOCKOUT PUNCH!
Bladewolf rebounds off the ropes and charges at Big Show...AND HITS A SPE-! BIG SHOW CAUGHT HIM ! Big Show saw Cena coming so he lifted Bladewolf up onto his shoulder, holding a 310 lbs man then he charged across the ring...AND LAUNCHED BLADEWOLF INTO CENA!
Picking Bladewolf back onto his shoulder, Big Show turned around and charged across the ring...AND RAMMED BLADEWOLF BACK-FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Big Show dropped Bladewolf and let him fall down to the mat, then he turned his attention back to Cena and crossed the ring and pulled him to his feet, then punched him in the stomach, doubling him over, before he followed up... AND CLUBBED HIM ON THE BACK! Cena went crashing down to the mat while Bladewolf rolled out from under the bottom rope to give himself a chance to recover. On the other side of the ring, Vickie Guerrero had ordered Chavo to wheel her around the ring so she check on her husband, who had crawled around the ring steps and was now lying on the floor at the bottom of the ring steps. This left Big Show alone in the ring with a downed Cena.
Big Show stomped on Cena's stomach, then stepped on him and grabbed the ropes for more leverage as he applied his entire weight to Cena's stomach. Big Show eventually got off of Cena and pulled him up to his feet and pushed him into the corner, then followed up with a punch to the stomach then followed up with a shot to the back while Cena was still reeling.
Big Show clubbed Cena on the back and knocked him down to the mat, then stepped on his back and one again used the ropes for leverage so he could apply his entire weight to his smaller opponent.
Chavo had parked Vickie's wheelchair at the bottom of the entrance ramp so she could watch the match and Edge who was still on the floor. Bladewolf was still outside the ring, but was sitting on the ground against the barricade, watching Big Show and Cena go at it. this was an Elimination match, he could simply wait until the right moment came for him to strike at. The more damage that was done to Cena, the easier it would be to put him away, and the longer Big Show kept up his assault on Cena, the more tired he'd get. By remaining out of action like Bladewolf and Edge were, it gave both of them a chance to recover while their opponents wore each other out.
Now Bladewolf was just watching for an opening he could exploit to take advantage of the BIGGEST obstacle in the match, the Big Show. Back in the ring, Big Show had pulled Cena up to his knees, but Cena was attempting to make a comeback and hit a series of shots to the midsection, then got up and ran to the ropes and bounced off...BUT BIG SHOW CAUGHT HIM WITH A BIG FLAPJACK! Cena hit the mat hard while Big Show stood tall in the ring, on the outside, Edge once again crawled around the steps, but remained on the outside while Bladewolf began to discretely slide back into the ring.
Big Show stepped back then charged at Cena while he was getting up, BIG BOO—CENA DUCKED—BIG SHOW CROTCHED HIMSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! Big Show groaned in pain as he stayed in his uncomfortable position, but that was when Bladewolf decided to join the match again. He slid into the ring and ran across it...AND HIT BIG SHOW WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! Big Show fell to the side...AND WENT CRASHING DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Bladewolf whirled around and came face to face with Cena. The two men who have had many epic battles in the past...now at WrestleMania. They went eye to eye before Cena swung a right which struck, but Bladewolf knees Cena in the stomach and went for a German Suplex but Cena elbows Bladewolf in the side of the ehad multiple times until Bladewolf let's go, allowing Cena to run, rebound off the ropes...BUT COMES INTO A HARD CLOTHESLINE! Bladewolf still ran after flooring Cena...AND HITS AN OVER THE TOP ROPE SUICIDE DIVE ONTO BIG SHOW!
Bladewolf got to his feet near the steel steps and flipped his hair back, adjusting his elbow pads...WHEN EDGE DROPKICKED THE STEEL STEPS INTO BLADEWOLF! Bladewolf went staggering backwards and tripped over Big Show and ended up on his back on the floor. Bladewolf shook it off and slowly got up, not noticing that Cena had moved from the position he'd left him in. Cena leapt off of the top rope and moved his leg out in front of him...AND HITS A DIVING LEG DROP ONTO BLADEWOLF! Bladewolf and Cena both went crashing down to the floor and laid there feeling the after-effects of Cena's high-risk move. Big Show was still down in front of the commentary table, leaving Edge as the only man standing.
Edge walked around the steps he had dropkicked and pulled up Cena and rolled him back into the ring. Bladewolf and Big Show were still down and didn't appear to be getting up any time soon, and Cena had already been worn down by Big Show, it was yet another intelligent decision by the Ultimate Opportunist. Edge stomped on Cena and then pulled him up off the mat, but Cena suddenly shot up and lifted Edge up onto his shoulders...AND HITS THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTME—EDGE SLIPPED OFF! Edge kicked Cena in the stomach and grabbed him in a side headlock, then lifted him up and swung him around...AND HITS EDGECUTION! Edge rolled Cena over and hooked his leg as he capitalized with the first pin attempt of the match! ONE! TWO! THR-! CENA KICKS OUT!
Edge stared down at Cena and got back up, but Bladewolf had recovered now and had slid back into the ring, running up and grabs Edge from behind before hitting a release German Suplex across the ring. Edge stumbled to his feet and turned around only to be scooped up onto Bladewolf's shoulder, who runs...AND HITS A RUNNING POWERSLAM! Edge rolled out the ring as Bladewolf turns and sees Cena down so he walks over...AND SHOVES HIM OUT THE RING WITH HIS FOOT! Bladewolf waited until Cena stumbled to his feet before he rebounds off the ropes, charges forward...AND HITS A OVER THE TOP RIPE SUICIDE DIVE ONTO CENA! Bladewolf got to his feet, grabbed Cena and tossed him into the ring. Bladewolf slides in and covers him! ONE! TWO! THRE-! CENA KICKS OUT!
Bladewolf shook his head and stood up before he turned around only to be lifted up by Big Show...AND HIT WITH A SIDEWALK SLAM ONTO JOHN CENA! Bladewolf was on top of Cema, so Big Show got to his feet and placed a boot on Bladewolf's chest to pin them both! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF AND CENA KICKED OUT!
Big Show got up and grabbed Bladewolf and pulled him to his feet, he kneed him in the stomach/chest, then reached down and pulled Cena up with his other hand. Big Show let go of both of them, only to suddenly shoot his hands out...AND CAUGHT THEM IN A DOUBLE GOOZLE! But before Big Show could lifted them up off of the mat, Cena and Bladewolf kicked him in the stomach at the same time, then grabbed Big Show's arms and went to whip him across the ring...BUT BIG SHOW DIDN'T BUDGE! Big Show pulled back on Cena and Bladewolf, then yanked them to him...AND LEVELED THEM WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!
Big Show grabbed Bladewolf's hair and used it to pull him up off of the mat, but Bladewolf suddenly jumped up into the air and dropped down to his knees...AND HITS A JAWBREAKER! Big Show staggered backwards a series of body shots from Cena, then a series of forearms, then a kick to the stomach. Cena ran to the ropes while Big Show still doubled over... BUT WAS TRIPPED AND PULLED OUT OF THE RING BY CHAVO GUERRERO! But Cena landed on his feet on the floor and caught Chavo on his shoulders as he charged him...AND HITS THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!
At the same time in the ring, Bladewolf ran at Big Show and ducked a clothesline, Big Show turned around into a leaping clothesline that didn't take Big Show down, but he did look a little groggy as he went staggering backwards. Cena slid back in the ring, Bladewolf and Cena looked at each other before they ran...AND HIT BIG SHOW WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE Big Show staggered backwards...AND GOT TANGLED UP IN THE TOP AND MIDDLE ROPES!
Bladewolf and Cena stared at Big Show before Bladewolf ran...AND SPEARS BIG SHOW WHILE HE WAS TIED UP! Ironic, this is what Edge did to Cena a few weeks ago when Big Show had Cena tied up on the ropes. Cena clapped and smiled at what Bladewolf did before he walked over and landed a hard heavy right into the Big Show's stomach, as payback for when Big Show punched him in the stomach. Edge was back up on the outside, but seeing how two of his opponents were doubling teaming the third that was trapped in the ropes, he wasn't in an incredible hurry to get back in the ring. The longer Bladewolf and Cena drew this out, the more damage that would be done to the Big Show and the easier he would be to eliminate. Cena backed away from Big Show and stepped out of the way as Bladewolf ran...AND DROPKICKS BIG SHOW IN THE STOMACH!
Bladewolf got to his feet and turned only to be lifted up...AND HIT WITH THE ATTIT-! BLADEWOLF SLIDES OFF! Cena turns around only to be scooped up by Bladewolf who runs...AND HITS A RUNNING POWERSLAM! BLADEWOLF HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THRE-! CENA KICKS OUT!
Edge slides back into the ring and goes to clothesline Bladewolf, but Bladewolf ducked Edge's clothesline and spun around and caught him with a forearm and sent him staggering backwards. Cena shot back up off of the mat and hit Bladewolf from behind, launching him into Edge, but Edge caught Bladewolf and shoved him back into Cena. Cena was unprepared for Edge to throw Bladewolf back at him and was caught off guard when Bladewolf caught him with a kick to the gut. Bladewolf grabbed Cena in a side headlock, but then Edge ran over and grabbed Cena in a side headlock from the other side. Bladewolf cast a quick glance at Edge and at the same time they lifted Cena up off of the mat, swung him around...AND HIT A DOUBLE IMPALER! Before Edge could give the temporary alliance a second thought, Bladewolf shot to his feet, grabbed Edge by the throat, lifted him up...CHOKESL-! Edge gets out of the hold and rebounds off the ropes, Bladewolf tuns around...INTO A SPEAR! EDGE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF KICKS OUT!
Bladewolf rolled out the ring with Edge shoving him out, he may not have eliminated the Bladewolf but at least he took him out for a while, so he quickly turned his attention back to Cena who was getting back up, Edge rushed at Cena...AND HITS A CLOTHESLI—CENA RAN UNDER IT! Cena ran to the ropes and bounced off then jumped up and lunged at Edge...AND TOOK HIM DOWN WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK! Cena ran to the ropes and bounced off again while Edge stagger back up...AND HITS ANOTHER SHOULDER BLOCK! Edge staggered back up and attacked Cena, but Cena ducked Edge's strike then grabbed him from behind and lifted him up, spun him and...HITS A SPIN OUT POWERSLAM!
Cena stood over Edge while Bladewolf was still down on the floor and Big Show was still tied up in the ropes, but since Cena was on the verge of putting Edge away and was no longer attacking him, Big Show was in no hurry get out. Cena bent over Edge and waved his hand in front of his face.
"YOU CAN'T SEE ME!" Cena ran to the ropes and bounced off, did his patented shuffle, then...HE HITS THE FIVE-KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Cena raised his arms up into the air and called for the Attitude Adjustment while Edge slowly staggered back up with his back to Cena, but then Vickie Guerrero climbed up on the ring apron and started screaming.
Cena ignored her and lifted Edge up onto his shoulders when he turned around...AND HITS THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTME—Edge slipped off of Cena's shoulders...AND SHOVED CENA INTO VICKIE… BUT CENA PUT ON THE BREAKS! Cena stood in front of while Edge measured him up for a spear from behind, Cena slowly turned around Edge charged him...AND HE HITS THE SP—CENA MOVED—EAR TO VICKIE GUERRERO! Vickie was launched off of the apron...AND FELL ON CHAVO! Edge stared in shock at what he had accidentally done to his wife... CENA ROLLED HIM UP FROM BEHIND! ONE! TWO! THR-! EDGE KICKED OUT!
Edge and Cena both scrambled up to their feet and charged each other, but they were thinking the same thing...AD HITA DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Seeing both Edge and Cena down in the ring, and Bladewolf still down on the outside, Big Show yelled at the referee to let him out of the ropes. The referee went over and freed Big Show while the commentators showed a replay of Edge spearing his wife. Big Show stood up and watched Edge and Cena stagger back up, Big Show barreled forward...AND TOOK DOWN BOTH MEN WITH A DOUBLE SHOULDER BLOCK!
Cena got back up, but Big Show caught him and...HITS A HEADBUTT! Cena was sent staggering back into the corner while Edge got back up...AND RECEIVED A HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN! Edge went down and leaned against the opposite corer while Big Show charged across the ring at Cena...AND HITS A TURNBUCKLE CLOTHESLINE! Big Show stepped back after crushing Cena in the corner and then pinned him back against the turnbuckles, raised his arm up behind him...AND CHOPPED HIM ACROSS THE CHEST! Big Show saw Edge back up on the other side of the ring and raced across it...AND HE HITS A TURNBUCKLE BODY SPLASH!
Big Show pushed Edge back in the corner and raised his arm up in the air...AND CHOPPED HIM ACROSS THE CHEST TOO! Big Show grabbed Edge...AND WHIPPED HIM ACROSS THE RING INTO CENA! Big Show charged at the two men in the corner...AND HITS A DOUBLE TURNBUCKLE BODY SPLASH! Big Show stepped out of the corner and raised his arm up into the air, calling for the chokeslam, Edge staggered up and Big Show... CAUGHT HIM IN A GOOZLE! Cena staggered out of the corner and Big Show...CAUGHT HIM IN A GOOZLE AS WELL! Big Show lifted Edge and Cena up off of the mat...AND HITS A DOULBE CHOKESLA—CENA SLIPPED OUT—CHOKESLAM TO EDGE!
Big Show turned around and Cena grabbed him and lifted him up onto his shoulders...AND HITS THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTME—Big Show slipped off and landed on his feet, Cena turned to him...AND HITS THE KNOCK OUT PUNCH! BUT CENA ROLLS OUT THE RING BEFORE BIG SHOW CAN PIN HIM!
Big Show glanced around him and realized that Edge had slipped out of the ring while he was occupied with Cena, so he was alone in the middle of the ring. Making a quick decision, Big Show decided to go after Edge and stepped over the top rope and got out of the ring. However, Bladewolf suddenly popped up...AND SUPERKICKS BIG SHOW IN THE JAW! BIG SHOW FALLS OFF THE RING APRON! Bladewolf jumped down then turned around...INTO A CLOTHESLINE FROM EDGE! Edge pulled Bladewolf up then grabbed him...AND WHIPPED HIM INTO THE STEEL RING POST! With Bladewolf down, Edge turned around and saw Big Show getting back up, Edge charged him...BUT GOT CAUGHT BY THE THROAT! GOOZLE! Big Show held Edge by the throat and stood up, he took a moment and glanced at the Spanish commentary table and smiled, he pushed Edge closer to the table then lifted him up into the air CHOKESLA—EDGE COUNTERED WITH A DDT!
On the other side of the ring, Vickie Guerrero was being helped to the back by a pair of medics, Cena was still out cold on the floor, and Bladewolf was around the corner so he was no longer in Edge's line of sight. Edge pushed himself up off of the floor and crawled over to the steel ring steps and used them to push himself up, then he grabbed them and dragged them passed the two commentary tables and over to Big Show. With the steps in place, Edge staggered around them and backed up to the other side of the ring and waited for Big Show to get back up. Big Show slowly got back up to his feet and Edge rushed along the side of the ring, jumped on the steps and lunged off of them...AND HITS A FLYING SPEAR INTO BIG SHOW THROUGH THE BARRICADE!
Edge had tackled Big Show with such force that they went flying backwards and smashed through the barricade and ended up on the floor out by the fans. Both Edge and Big Show were down, but at least Edge was moving, Big Show was out cold.
Bladewolf staggered to his feet, using the ring apron to help him, and he flips his hair out of his mask's eyeholes. Bladewolf saw what happened to Big Show and Edge so he decided to go after the other competitor in this match. Bladewolf walks over to Cena, who was knocke dout cold from Big Show's KO punch. Bladewolf picked Cena up and tossed him back into the ring before sliding in after him. Bladewolf crawled over...AND HOOKED THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THRE-! CENA KICKED OUT!
Bladewolf got back up and stood over Cena, oblivious to Edge – who had abandoned attempting to drag the unconscious Big Show back to the ring, and was now crouched in a corner behind Bladewolf's back. Edge raced out of the corner as Bladewolf started to turn around turned to see Edge coming at him...AND HE HITS A SPEA-! BLADEWOLF LIFTS HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Bladewolf had Edge up onto his shoulders, and looked ready to hit either The Wolf's Howl or The Fury of the Wolf. Bladewolf...HITS THE FURY OF THE WO-! EDGE LANDED ON HIS FEET! Edge used all his strength and pushed Bladewolf's back...AND Bladewolf WAS SENT SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE CORNER!
Bladewolf slumped against the corner while Edge stood tall in the middle of the ring, Cena was still down, but was out of the way for the moment. Bladewolf finally extracted himself from the corner and slowly turned around, Edge charged from the middle of the ring...AND NAILS BLADEWOLF WITH A SPEAR! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF KICKED OUT AGAIN!
Edge stared at Bladewolf in surprise and got back up, but then he noticed Cena getting back up on the other side of the ring. While Edge wanted to inflict more punishment on Bladewolf and be rid of the annoyance one and for all, ignoring Cena could be potentially problematic and not to mention stupid. Edge backed up into the corner and waited until Cena was up and turning around and charged across the ring...AND HITS A SPEA—CENA CAUGHT HIM WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! Cena quickly hooked Edge's leg around him, then leaned on top of him and grabbed him in a chin lock...AND LOCKS IN THE STF! CENA HAS THE STF LOCKED IN! Edge screamed in pain and reached out in front of him for the bottom rope, while there were no rope breaks in a no-disqualification match like this one, having a hold on the rope would give him much needed leverage to break Cena's signature submission hold. Cena decided he didn't like Edge being that close the ropes and broke the hold on his own, then dragged Edge into the middle of the ring where Machetti was still lying unconscious... AND LOCKED IN THE STF AGAIN! Edge clubbed at Cena's arm and desperately reached out for the bottom rope again, but he couldn't reach it and Cena's submission move was very painful. Suddenly Big Show got up and reached his hand through the bottom and middle rope...AND GRABBED CENA BY THE THROAT!
Big Show pulled Cena out of the ring and onto the floor...AND HITS HIM WITH A BIG HEADBUTT! Cena went down and Big Show climbed up on the apron and stepped over the top rope to get back in the ring. Bladewolf staggered up off of the mat and attacked Big Show while he was still straddling the top rope, but Big Show pushed him backwards with one arm, stepped into the ring...AND LEVELED BLADEWOLF WITH A BIG BOOT!
But Big Show didn't seem interested in finishing Bladewolf off at the moment, he wanted to eliminate the superstar the drove him through the barricade. Edge was still lying on his back in the corner, feeling the after-effects of Cena's STF, Big Show stepped over him and climbed up onto the middle rope, he bounced up and down then launched himself up into the air, looking to crushed Edge and get rid of him once and for all...AND HIT A MIDDLE ROPE BODY SPLA—EDGE MOVED! Big Show slammed down to the mat and narrowly missed Bladewolf, but went down hard, Edge and Bladewolf were both still down in the ring, and Cena was down on the outside, whoever could take advantage here would gain the much needed momentum to put the other three away.
Cena got up first on the outside, while Big Show attempted to get up back in the ring. Cena slipped into the ring and ran around Big Show and grabbed him in a front facelock...CENA TRIED TO SUPLEX BIG SHOW! But Big Show proved to be too heavy for even someone as strong as Super Cena to suplex, Edge got up and ran over and grabbed Big Show from the other side...AND THEY HIT A DOUBLE SUPLEX… ONTO BLADEWOLF!
Big Show rolled off of Bladewolf and over to the ropes while Edge and Cena stared at each other, it didn't looked like Cena appreciated Edge's help. Cena and Edge got back up and continued to stare at each other, neither of them looked overly trusting. Big Show was slowly getting up but Bladewolf was practically lying in a crater in the middle of the ring after having Big Show dropped on him. Big Show pushed himself up and leaned back against the ropes, Cena and Edge ran around Bladewolf and charged across the ring...AND KNOCKED BIG SHOW OUT OF THE RING WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! The second Cena stepped away from the ropes, Edge lashed out his leg...AND HIT A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE OF CENA! Cena went down and Edge ran over to Bladewolf and covered him for the pin! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF MANAGED TO KICK OUT!
Edge was about to inflict more punishment on Bladewolf, but then he saw Cena getting back up. Edge couldn't afford to lose his momentum, and was certain Cena would attack him after the boot to the head, so he went after Cena looking to prevent an attack. Edge grabbed Cena and pulled him up, but Cena threw Edge's hands off of him and hit a shot to the stomach, then got up and hit another body blow. He went for a shot to the head... BUT EDGE DUCKED IT! Cena went off balance and Edge quickly grabbed him from behind...AND LOCKED IN A SLEEPER HOLD!
While Edge had Cena in the sleeper hold, Bladewolf rolled out the ring to get another wind back. Cena grabbed Edge's arms... AND BROKE THE HOLD! Cena spun to the side and elbowed Edge in the stomach, doubling him over. Cena ran passed Edge over to the ropes and bounced off then came back and flipped over Edge's head and drove him face-first down to the mat...AND HITS A BLOCKBUSTER!
Cena went to the corner and climbed up onto the top rope while Edge pushed himself up onto his hands and knees, then got up while still bent over. Cena looked ready to jump off, but Big Show suddenly climbed up the steps... AND PUSHED CENA OFF THE TOP ROPE… INTO A SPEAR FROM EDGE! Cena rolled across the ring and held his stomach as he laid practically underneath the bottom rope, Edge went over to Cena and grabbed his legs and attempt to drag him back into the middle of the ring, but Cena grabbed onto the edge of the ring apron to keep from being pulled into harm's way. Edge pulled harder but Bladewolf sat up on the floor and grabbed one of Cena's hands and pulled in the other direction.
Cena looked surprised that Bladewolf was helping him, while Edge looked furious. Edge let go of Cena and stormed over to the ropes and reached through the ropes to grab Bladewolf, AND GOT HOT IN THE FACE BY THE WORLD TITLE BELT! Bladewolf's plan to lure Edge on had worked.
Edge went staggering backwards...INTO A BIG BOOT FROM BIG SHOW! Big Show capitalized and went for a pin while Bladewolf knelt at ringside and watched, ONE! TWO! THRE-! EDGE BARELY KICKED OUT! Big Show got up and pulled Edge up to his feet...AND SENT HIM STAGGERING BACKWARDS WITH A HEADBUTT!
Big Show grabbed Edge and whipped him across the ring into the corner, Big Show charged across the ring... AND RAN INTO A PAIR OF BOOTS FROM EDGE! Big Show stood dazed and turned around, Edge hoisted himself so he was sitting on the top rope...AND LOCKED IN A SLEEPER HOLD ON BIG SHOW! Big Show staggered out of the corner with Edge on his back, then moved backwards... AND DROVE EDGE INTO THE CORNER! But Edge managed to keep his hold locked in, Big Show's face was bright red, but suddenly Cena got up and crossed the ring and hefted Big Show... AND EDGE UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! CENA HAD SIX HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO POUNDS ON HIS BACK! Cena's legs buckled and he cursed under his breath, too heavy.
Bladewolf suddenly slipped into the ring and ran across it, then moved and stood back-to-back with Cena... AND HELPED CENA HOLD UP EDGE AND BIG SHOW! Between the two of them, Cena and Bladewolf managed to hold up the six hundred eight two pounds that was Edge and Big Show and working together they flipped the World's Largest Athlete and the Rated-R Superstar off of their shoulders and...THEY HIT A DOUBLE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!
You were supposed to adjust them and I was supposed to bomb them," Geoge whispered to John while they lay next to each other on the mat.
"Too heavy," gasped John.
"We're even now," George informed him.
Bladewolf crawled...AND GOT AN ARM OVER EDGE AS CENA COVERS BIG SHOW The referee looked in between before counting! ONE! TWO! THREE! DOUBLE ELIMINATION! EDGE AND BIG SHOW HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!
There WILL be a new World Heavyweight Champion.
Bladewolf rolled off of Edge and into one corner while Cena got off of Big Show and sat in the one opposite him. The referee attempted to remove Edge and Big Show from the ring. Edge and Big Show slowly sat up then pushed themselves up onto their knees, still looking groggy. The referee quietly informed them that they had both been eliminated. It took a moment for it to sink in, but then Edge's eyes went wide and he glared at Bladewolf. Big Show looked furious and took out his anger on the closest person available...KNOCK OUT PUNCH TO EDGE! Big Show stood up and staggered over to the ropes, stepped over the top rope and got out of the ring, then began the long journey to the back. He'd once again been beaten by John Cena at WrestleMania. He'd lost here, but he would have his revenge and maybe take the championship while he was at it.
Edge was left lying unconscious in the middle of the ring, Bladewolf pushed himself up and walked over to Edge, then grabbed him and dragged him over to the ropes and tossed him through them and out of the ring. Edge was left out cold on the floor while Bladewolf turned to Cena and it dawned on the two once rivals that their epic battles had taken them to WrestleMania.
It wasn't one-on-one like many would want...but they were still seeing the Bladewolf vs John Cena at WrestleMania, and one of them was walking out the new World Heavyweight Champion. In 2007, Bladewolf and John Cena had many battles at different events but NOT WrestleMania, now two years later...they are now battling at WrestleMania and can do it one-on-one after dealing with Edge and Big Show who are gone from the match.
Bladewolf stumbled forward but Cena charged forward, scooped Bladewolf up...AND HITS THE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT! CENA HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF KICKED OUT!
Cena was surprised, he thought Bladewolf would be done considering the exhaustion in both of them. Cena got to his feet and grabbed Bladewolf, going to hit a second Attitude Adjustment but Bladewolf fights back as he elbows Bladewolf in the side of the head, and slides off. Cena turns around...INTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts Cena up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
Bladewolf falls down with Cena, exhausted to even stand. Bladewolf slowly sat up and got two his feet, stumbling back before he did a cutthroat taunt. He grabs Cena and scoops him onto his shoulder, holds him upside down in front of him...AND HE HITS CENA WITH A TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! BLADEWOLF HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! WE HAVE A NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Devil's Wolf plays as Bladewolf rolls off Cena.
"You alright man?" George said in Cena's ear, something no fan could see because of how close they laid beside each other in their exhuastion.
"Hurting...everywhere." John groaned out.
George chuckled. "I love you man."
Bladewolf sat up, groaning in pain behind his mask. Bladewolf slowly stumbled to his feet and flipped his head back to whip his hair out his mask. "Here is your winner and the NEW World Heavyweight Champion...THE BLADEWOLF!" Lillian Garcia announced.
Bladewolf is handed the World Heavyweight Championship as Trish Stratus comes to ringside through the barricade as she was on the crowd. She slides into the ring and tackles her husband in a hug. Bladewolf hugged her back and raised his title at the same time before Trish lifted his mask a little and pulled him into a heated kiss that he returned.
Once pulling away, Bladewolf sorted his mask and Trish took the title to strap it around Bladewolf's waist and Trish side hugged him. They leave the ring and make their way up the ramp as fireworks go off and the graphis of 12-0 are shown. Bladewolf is now 12-0 at WrestleMania...

Bio: At a young age, George watched WWE and dreamed of being a WWE Superstar. When he was in his teens, he trained to be a wrestler, soon ending up with a gimmick, a name, and working at small wrestling shows under the name 'The Bladewolf'. In September 1997, he was approached by Jim Ross about a contract with the WWF and George accepted, having his tryout match at the WWF's UK One Night Only PPV where the Bladewolf made his debut and proceeded to destroy Tiger Ali Singh in dominating fashion as part of the character and win the match, starting the beginning of George's big time wrestling career.
Over the next few weeks, Bladewolf would face superstar after superstar and defeat them in quick, dominating fashion. He defeated Dude Love at Badd Blood: in Your House, Triple H at Survivor Series, Marc Mero at D-Generation X: in Your House, a feud that became real life issues due to George sleeping with Mero's real life wife, Sable, yet it was discovered Sable was being abused by Mero.

As 1997 reached an end, Bladewolf showed a desire to be WWF Champion and on the final RAW of 1997 he faced Shawn Michaels for the title but won by DQ, but Michaels retaiend due to titles not changing hands by a DQ.
Bladewolf competed in the 1998 Royal Rumble, eliminating 8 superstars and came down to the final two with Stone Cold Steve Austin, but was eliminated.
