SmackDown: 29/1/2010
Friday Night SmackDown was live at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio. A video airs hyping the return of Degeneration-X to SmackDown to take on CM Punk and his Straight-Edge Society. They tease wondering what will happen since Triple H declared every man for himself at the Royal Rumble.
DX's music hits and they make their entrance to thunderous applause. Apparently they're opening the show up with the Tag Team Championship match. They get in the ring and the crowd chants for them. Triple H says he sees the army is here!
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud pop as the lights change to the sinister, blood red and out comes the Bladewolf. He makes his way down the ramp towards the ring and gets onto the ring apron, staring down DX for a few seconds before he enters the ring through the middle rope. He takes his metallic mask off, and grabs a microphone as his theme dies down.
"Pardon the...interruption, gentlemen." Bladewolf said yet he didn't sound very apologetic, just cold as usual. "But I had to come out here, because I have business...with you, Shawn." He looks at Michaels who frowned. "Now my brother, the Undertaker responded to your desire, your challenge for a rematch at WrestleMania 26...and he said no. Now all I've been seeing is you saying you will win the Royal Rumble and choose his World Heavyweight Championship. Well, I got news for you, Shawn, you and your selfish ego...the Undertaker will NOT be World Heavyweight Champion come the night after this Sunday, because I will have dropped him on his head and won the title from him. I will not let your obsession with my brother and his Streak get in MY way. Do you actually think that YOU can win the Royal Rumble, go on to WrestleMania...and face the Undertaker?"
Shawn gets in Bladewolf's face. "That's exactly what I think. You don't know what it's like because you have NEVER fought him at WrestleMania. I will do so and I WILL beat him."
"Like you tried to beat me at WrestleMania a few years ago?" Bladewolf retorts and the crowd oohed as Shawn glares at Bladewolf for that reminder.
Triple H gets in between them. "Hey, hey, let's all calm down her. No need to look for a fight, Demon Wolf, Hornswoggle isn't here this week."
Bladewolf glares at Triple H. "You want to play jokes, Hunter? Here's one for you...Shawn Michaels beating the Undertaker at WrestleMania." the crowd went into a uproar as Shawn glared at Bladewolf who glared back. "That is a joke. Shawn, you lost last year...get over it."
"What makes you think you will even make it to the Rumble this Sunday?" Shawn challenged, causing Bladewolf to halt from turning around to leave.
Bladewolf whirled around to get in Shawn's face, briefly fixing his coat as it hung off his shoulders. "What makes you think that YOU will make it Sunday? If you have a problem with me, Shawn, if you think you have what it takes to show me you can have a second chance against the Undertaker at WrestleMania, then you can show me and prove it to me...tonight."
The crowd cheered at the challenge for Bladewolf vs Shawn Michaels tonight!
Suddenly CM Punk's music hits to boos and out comes Punk with the Straight-Edge Society with him. Punk had a microphone in hand and he begins to speak while walking down the ramp towards the ring with Gallows and Serena beside him.
"Bladewolf, you've gotta be high on some sort of illegal pharmaceutical substance. I hear you say you watched RAW, and you heard what Shawn had to say. Well you need to watch SmackDown because you need to realize that tonight...the Straight-Edge Society becomes the first ever Straight-Edged World Unified Tag Team Champions. I came out here for a reason and I came out here with a purpose. I'm here to lead my crusade, and I've brought my deciples, Luke Gallows and the beautiful Serena with me."
"Punk..." Triple H begins. "I have been watching SmackDown, and I gotta say..while I'm relived to know that your straight, I don't think anyone gives a crap about the whole don't drink thing."
Punk glares at Triple H. "You're looking at 3 people who give a crap, and don't try to pretend you know anything about me or you know anything about Straight-Edge."
"No, you're right, I don't know anything about it." Triple H nods. "I don't get it, Punk, that's the thing. I mean, you don't do drugs, you don't drunk, you don't smoke. Okay, neither do I, but then again I don't look like I've been in a weeklong crack binge with Amy Winehouse." The crowd laughed at that while Punk didn't look amused. "I'm just saying, have a little pride, man! Pick yourself up, clean yourself up. Maybe take the clippers out the bag, shave that squirrel on your chin. Hey, do yourself a favour, take a shower. Because I don't know if it's you, lobotomy man, or Brittney Spears right there, but one of you have a bad case of swamp smell."
"Is the comedy over because I came out her to claim those titles-"
Teddy long's music hits and out comes the SmackDown General Manger. "Hold on there, playas! This an't gonna go down like that! This is the WWE, and things have a tendency to change. So CM Punk, Luke Gallows, you will NOT have your Unified Tag Team Title match tonight!"
"What?! Why?!" Punk demanded.
"Because tonight, it will be Shawn Michaels going one on one...with the Bladewolf!" The crowd popped as Bladewolf and Michaels stare each other down. "Oh and by the way Punk, I know you're expecting to be in a match tonight and you will be. Because right now, you're gonna go one-on-one...with the Game, Triple H!"
The crowd cheered as Long went backstage while Bladewolf and Michaels stare each other down.
Later
The cameras went to the arena and the bell rang to get everyone's attention. "The following contest is scheduled for one-fall!" called out Justin Roberts.
Sexy Boy sounded through the arena and the fans stood up and cheered loudly. HBK Shawn Michaels came out from the back and spun around on stage, showing that he was fired up for this match. "Making his way to the ring, from San Antonio Texas, the Heartbreak Kid...SHAWN MICHAELS!"
Michaels knelt down on the middle of the entrance ramp and raised his arms up into the air, pyro rocketed up behind him and exploded, then he jumped back up and walked the rest of the way down the ramp to the ring, he climbed up the steps, stepped through the ropes, and spun around in the middle of the ring, playing to the crowd as they cheered him on. Michaels walked up to the ropes and bent one leg while he stretched the other one out, then he raised his arms up into the air as another volley of explosions went off behind him. The fans were still cheering as Michaels stood back up and went to the corner and climbed up onto the middle rope, then posed for the fans. Michaels jumped down and turned to face the entrance ramp as he awaited his opponent.
OOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf hit to cheers from the fans as the lights dimmed to the sinister blood red and out comes the Bladewolf who was on his own this time and begins walking down the ramp, his eyes on Shawn Michaels. "And from Death Valley, weighing 310 lbs...THE BLADEWOLF!"
Bladewolf walks down the ramp and climbs onto the ring apron, stepping through the ropes and he takes his coat and metallic mask off. His theme dies down as he stares Michaels down.
Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf charges at Michaels and goes for a hard right but Michaels ducked it, gets Bladewolf into the corner and hits some big chest chops. Bladewolf grabs Michaels by the throat with both hands and tossed Michaels into the corner, unloading with lefts and rights on Michaels before he uppercuts Michaels which floors the Heartbreak kid to the mat.
Bladewolf grabs Michaels around the waist and goes for a German Suplex but Michaels lands on his feet and fakes a leg injury which causes the referee to step in and halt Bladewolf, giving Michaels the chance to hit a running forearm on the 10-time World Champion, hammering away at his face until Bladewolf shoves him off. Bladewolf gets to his feet, tackles Michaels into the corner and hits some shoulder thrusts to the stomach then works over the left arm of The Heartbreak Kid, tries to go up top, but Michaels keeps cutting him off.
Bladewolf knees Michaels in the stomach, gets behind him and hits a German Suplex across the ring. Michaels got to his feet and backed off from the Demon Wolf who watched him coldly.
Michaels jumped on the Bladewolf and got a few rights and lefts in. Michaels then lifted Bladewolf over the top rope to the outside. Michaels takes out Bladewolf with a kick to the back of the head and then goes back up to the ring apron...AND LEAPS OFF WITH A MOONSAULT BUT HE LANDS ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! BLADEWOLF MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!
Bladewolf was on his side, breathing heavily, before he gets to his feet and walks over to grab Michaels by the hair and tosses him back into the ring. Bladewolf climbs up to the top rope with Michaels unaware of this. Michaels stumbles to his feet and turns around...INTO A FLYING CLOTHESLINE!

Michaels Irish whips Bladewolf off the ropes but Bladewolf reverses it and Michaels comes back, ducking a right and goes for one of his own only for Bladewolf to grab his fist and stare him down before he twists Michaels' arm then grabs him with both hands by the neck and tosses him into the corner, right onto the top turnbuckle which sends Michaels out onto the ring apron.
Bladewolf walks forward but is met with a right hand from Michaels. Michaels gets to the top rope as Bladewolf looks at him, then Michaels does the DX chop and Bladewolf goes for a right only for Michaels to leap over him but Bladewolf saw this and grabbed him from behind and tosses him back into the corner where the Bladewolf starts hammering away with powerful lefts and rights to the head and stomach, anywhere he can hit that would weaken Shawn Michaels.
Michaels stumbles forward right into a hard shot to the jaw that floors the Heartbreak Kid. Bladewolf gets Michaels into the corner and hits several punches to the arms of Michaels and even pulled on it once it was hanging over the top rope then he boots Michaels in the stomach and starts stomping away on Michaels in the corner with hard, aggressive stomps.
Bladewolf picks Michaels up and gives him a headbutt, then pulls Michaels close for a belly-to-belly but Michaels headbutts Bladewolf then kicks the right knee which sends Bladewolf down to a knee. Michaels stomps on the right knee, knowing he needs to take out the legs as that takes out the power in Bladewolf. Michaels continues to stomp on the right knee of the Bladewolf, leaning it against the bottom rope before he jumps up and gives it a hard stomp which makes Bladewolf yell in pain as he clutches his ankle. Michaels keeps up the assault on the knee. Michaels continues to work on the bad knee of the Bladewolf for a while. Bladewolf then uses the ropes to hold himself up to get in some right hands on Michaels. Shawn Michaels fights off the right hands and goes after Bladewolf's bad leg along with some chest chops.

Bladewolf rolls out the ring and picks up a steel chair and he slides back into the ring and turns, chair in front of him...BUT MICHAELS SUPERKICKS THE CHAIR INTO HIS FACE!
Both men fall down now but Michaels makes it to his feet first. Michaels grabs the steel chair and watches the Bladewolf stumble to his feet and turn around...INTO A CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL!
Michaels tosses the chair aside and sees the referee still knocked out which makes him curse before he kicks Bladewolf out the ring and follows him, walking over to the steel steps and takes the top part off.
