WWF SummerSlam was live at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Mankind vs Triple H match had passed with Triple H defeating Mankind to become #1 Contender to the WWF Championship. Next up was the WWF Championship match between the Bladewolf and Stone Cold Steve Austin.
In the arena, Stone Cold's theme hits and out comes the Texas Rattlesnake to a loud pop from the fans. "The following contest is scheduled for one-fall and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship! Introducing the challenger, from Victoria, Texas, weighing 252 lbs...STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!" Howard Finkel announced.
"And here comes the Texas Rattlensnake!" JR exclaimed. "Business is about to pick up, King. For weeks, Austin has been sending statements to the Bladewolf, warning him that his reign as WWF Champion comes to an end tonight."
"Well, I'm excited for this match, JR." Jerry said with excitement in his voice. "Bladewolf and Austin...those two are the biggest rivals right now. They hate each other so much."
"Austin said earlier tonight on HEAT that he is gonna stomp a mudhole on the Bladewolf, that he is going to walk out of SummerSlam the winner like he did last year against the Undertaker." JR said, reminding the fans of what Austin said on Sunday Night HEAT.
Austin enters the ring and goes to the four corners of the ring, raising his arms as he did so. He then got down and paced around inside the ring, taking off his vest and he waits for the WWF Champion to appear.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dark Side plays to boos from the fans as the lights dim to the mix of blood red and dark blue and the Bladewolf walks out with the WWF Championship around his waist. The Demon Wolf walks down the ramp, his demonic hellfire eyes on Austin.
"And his opponent, weighing 310 lbs, he is the World Wrestling Federation Champion...THE BLADEWOLF!" Howard Finkel announced before leaving the ring.
"And here he comes." JR said. "Evil incarnate. The Bladewolf reunited with his brothers to fully reform the Brothers of Destruction, Kane and the Undertaker retained their WWF Tag Team Titles earlier tonight defeating X-Pac and Big Show, will Bladewolf walk out with his title?"
Bladewolf makes it to the ring and enters over the top rope. He takes off his trench coat and tosses it aside, staring down Austin as he hands his title to the referee and his theme dies down. Bladewolf flips his hair back as he stands in the corner. The referee raises the title to show it is on the line before he hands it to someone at ringside then calls for the bell to begin the match.
Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Austin and Bladewolf wasted no time in going on the attack, instantly trading back and fourth right hands with one another in a slug fest until Bladewolf ducks a right and knees Austin in the stomach then drops a forearm across his back, sending Austin to a knee. Bladewolf drives his knee into the side of Austin's head then boots him in the side of the head when Austin went to his hands and knees. Bladewolf stomps away on Austin time and time again before backing off and adjusts his left elbow pad before walking over and grabs Austin who fights back with right hands.
"Austin fighting back!" JR exclaims. "He's fighting back, King."
"What's that gonna do? You need to make sure Bladewolf can't get back up if Austin hopes to pin him!" Lawler points out.
Austin keeps up the assault before he Irish whips Bladewolf off the ropes but Bladewolf comes back with a flying clothesline. He goes for the cover but Austin kicks out at two. Bladewolf gets to a knee and hammers away at Austin's skull, forcing the Rattlesnake to cover up. Bladewolf stands up before he stomps on Austin's stomach then hits a leg drop across Austin's throat, hooking the leg again but Austin kicks out at two once more.
Bladewolf gets to his feet, flipping his hair back before he grabs Austin once more and tosses him out of the ring near the commentary table. Bladewolf follows and grabs Austin, going to bash his face off the commentary table but Austin blocks it, elbows Bladewolf in the gut before driving his masked face into the table, sending the 7ft monster to a knee.
"Bladewolf down to a knee now." JR notes. Austin grabs Bladewolf and repeatedly bashes his masked face off the table. "good God! Austin repeatedly driving Bladewolf's face into the table right in front of us!"
Austin stops and shoves Bladewolf down. Bladewolf shakes his head before he was stomped on by Austin who picks him up before Irish whipping him straight into the steel steps, sending them right off.
"Good grief." Lawler says.
"Austin is doing whatever he can to hurt the Champion and make sure he cannot get back up." JR says.
Austin walks over to Bladewolf who gets to a knee and suddenly whirls around, punching Austin in the stomach before standing up and headbutts Austin. Bladewolf grabs Austin and then bounces his head off the metal guard railing, sending Austin down to both knees, looking a little dizzy. Bladewolf grabs Austin and sends him back into the ring and rolls in after him to stop the referee's count.
Bladewolf tackles Austin down when he stood up and unloads with hammering rights into Austin's ribcage until Austin rolls them over and unleashes a fury of rights to the masked face of the Bladewolf until Bladewolf rolls them over and repeats the hammering fights.
"Good God, both of these men want to tear each other apart." Lawler says with wide eyes as both men roll about punching each other.
Bladewolf gets to his feet and pulls Austin to his before hitting hard rights to the forehead of Austin, causing the Rattlesnake to stumble back before Bladewolf goes for a clothesline but Austin boots Bladewolf in the gut and then shoves him...STRAIGHT INTO THE REFEREE!
"Oh God! The referee's down now, JR!" Lawler exclaims.
"there's no referee! Anything goes now!" JR says.
Bladeowlf and Austin went at it once more, throwing fights at each other until Bladeowlf clotheslines Austin over the top rope and follows him. Bladewolf looks at the knocked out referee before he looks underneath the ring and pulls out a steel chair to a mixed reaction from the fans.
"Oh no." Lawler says with dread and worry.
"You do NOT want to let that man get his hands on any kind of weapon, he will use it in a sadistic fashion." JR says.
Bladewolf lines the chair up before swinging...AND NAILS A CHAIR SHOT TO AUSTIN'S FOREHEAD! Bladewolf unloads with chair shot after chair shot to Austin before tossing the chair aside. Austin crawls up the ramp with Bladewolf following. Austin gets to his feet and the two slug it out once more.
They fight, trading back and fourth right hands until Bladewolf headbutts Austin then sets him up into a Powerbomb position but struggles to lift Austin up as the Rattlesnake fights back before he lifts Bladewolf over...AND BLADEWOLF LANDS ON THE CONCRETE!
"Oh my God! Did you hear that?!" JR asks. "Bone meeting concrete!"
"That had to hurt." Lawler winces.
Austin grabs Bladewolf, bringing him towards the ring before he hits a suplex...AND BLADEWOLF'S LEG HITS THE STEEL STEPS! Bladewolf clutches his right leg in pain as Austin stands up. He grabs Bladewolf and pulls him to his feet but Bladewolf shoves him straight into the ring apron before Bladewolf grabs the chair from earlier and swings it but Austin pushes it to his face and hits it again as Bladewolf goes down.
Austin drops the chair and grabs Bladewolf but the WWF Champion tackles Austin down and hammers away at him only for Austin to shove him off. They get to their feet and end up back in the ring again.
Bladewolf goes on the attack, and grabs Austin by the throat before lifting him up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM! HE HOOKS THE LEG!...BUT THERE's NO REFEREE!
"No referee!" JR says. "Bladewolf could've retained the title there."
Bladewolf growls in annoyance before seeing the referee beginning to come around so he grabs Austin and lifts him onto his shoulders, looking for the Wolf's Howl it seems. Austin wiggles and fights out of it, Bladewolf turns around into a boot to the gut...THEN THE STONE COLD STUNNER! AUSTIN HOOKS THE LEGS! The referee is groggy! ONE!...TWO!...THRE-! BLADEWOLF STILL KICKS OUT!
"He kicked out!" JR exclaimed over the cheers. "Bladewolf's still in this!"
Austin slapped the mat in frustration before he gets to his feet and grabs Bladewolf when suddenly Triple H runs in from behind with a sledgehammer...AND HITS AUSTIN IN THE BACK WITH IT!
"What the hell?!" JR exclaimed. "It's Triple H!"
"With the sledgehammer!" Jerry added.
Triple H waits until Bladewolf gets to his feet before running...AND STRIKES HIM IN THE HEAD WITH THE SLEDGEHAMMER! Triple H quickly leaves the ring and heads up the ramp to the back.
"Both men are down!" JR shouted. "Both men are down!"
Austin was groaning as he reached for the ropes...WHEN BLADEWOLF SiTS RIGHT UP! Bladewolf fell to a knee when trying to stand up but he shakes his head and watches Austin as he stands to his feet. Austin turns around only to be lifted onto Bladewolf's shoulders...AND HIT WITH THE FURY OF THE WOLF! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! BLADEWOLF RETAINS THE TITLE AT SUMMERSLAM!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Dark Side plays as Bladewolf rolls off Austin. "Here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Champion...THE BLADEWOLF!"
"The Bladewolf Era continues!" JR said.
Bladewolf sit sup and slowly gets to his feet, snatching the title from the referee and glares at him until he leaves the ring. Bladewolf raises the title and locks eyes with Triple H who stood at the stage, gesturing to the title.
"That's mine!" Triple H shouts.
Bladewolf points at Triple H then does the throat slit gesture across his neck, telling Triple H he's next. WWF SummerSlam goes off the air...
And that's it for this chapter.
