SmackDown: 1/6/2000

SmackDown was live at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. More questions were raised regarding the future of the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Too Cool made their way to the ring for their first defense of the Tag Team Championship. Their opponents were the Hardy Boyz, as Lita watched from backstage. The Hardy Boyz were on their way to victory when...

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

Dead Silent plays to a pop from the fans as smoke fills the stage, the lights dimming to a familiar sinister blood red and dark blue. The Bladewolf walks out to a loud pop with the blonde woman at his side, her name is officially confirmed as Trish Stratus.

The dup make their way down the ramp to the ring, Bladewolf holding triple H's WWF Championship. Before he enters the ring, Bladewolf hands the title to Trish before sliding into the ring as Jeff hardy runs at him... BUT IS CAUGHT BY THE THROAT! Bladewolf lifts Jeff up... AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!

Scotty 2 Hotty attacks from behind with lefts and rights that do no damage to the Demon Wolf who simply turns, uppercuts Hotty before he runs, rebounds off the ropes... AND NAILS A SPEAR! Bladewolf clears the ring as Trish enters with the WWF title in hand and a microphone in the other.

"We do not apologize for what we did here." Trish said coldly. "Our business is more important than this match. The Bladewolf has a some words to say... for Triple H."

Trish hands the microphone to the Bladewolf who flips his hair back, his face-painted face looking around before he speaks. "Triple H... you want your precious WWF title back? Then come out here and take it."

Bladewolf lowers the microphone as he and Trish stare at the entrance stage, waiting. Triple H's theme eventually hits and out comes the WWF Champion with Stephanie beside him, but the duo stand on the stage instead of coming anywhere near the ring. Triple H has a microphone in hand.

"Bladewolf... now I can come down there..." Triple H trails off as the crowd are loudly chanting 'Asshole!' at him. "Bladewolf, I can come down there and I can finish what I started by ending you and taking back what is mine, but Bladewolf... I know you would like to do the right thing. I know you hate me, I know you are still boiling from what happened after WrestleMania when I put you out for over a month. You understand the difference between right and wrong, the difference between your property and my property. And that World Wrestling federation Championship you're holding... that's my property. Now Bladewolf, in the World Wrestling Federation, to beat the best you have got to beat the best. To be the WWF Champion, you have got to beat me. Something you understand more than anyone considering you are a 2-time WWF Champion and have beaten me before, but let's not go down that path. I want you to do the right thing and give that WWF Championship back to me."

'Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!' The crowd chanted at him as Bladewolf tilts his head.

Bladewolf looks at Trish who says a few words to him. Bladewolf then looks at Triple H and says. "No."

Triple H and Stephanie speak with each other before the former speaks. "My beautiful wife has just brought up something that makes a whole lot of sense... you want something. Everybody wants something from the Champ, you're no different. So, what is it you want from me?"

Bladewolf barely blinks as he answers. "A match with you." The crowd cheers loudly at his answer.

triple h smirked. "And let me guess... for the title?"

Bladewolf shakes his head. "No. make no mistake, hunter, I want to reclaim the WWF Championship for a 3rd time... but the one thing I desire more than winning back the title... is beating the hell out of you! You see, triple H, ever since that night after WrestleMania, when you cowardly attacked me, burned my mask and put me out for over a month... I have wanted nothing more than to beat you so bad... that you won't live to recover from it! I don't care about the title, not right now, all I care about is beating the holy hell out of you. I still have a right to a rematch for the title but that's for another time, so you have nothing to worry about Hunter. But, I ain't walking out empty handed either. I still want a match with you and if I win, a friend of mine will be the #1 contender for the WWF title at King of the Ring. You got 3 seconds to answer before I remodel this belt to what I'm gonna do to you."

The Bladewolf takes out his baseball bat from inside his coat to cheers from the fans. Bladewolf twirls the bat around before he drops the title on the mat. Triple H and Stephanie are talking with each other. "3... 2...1."

Bladewolf raises the bat, about to bring it down on the belt. "ok! Ok! triple h quickly says, stopping Bladewolf from doing it. "You want a match with me? Non-title? You got it!"

The crowd cheered as Bladewolf gave a smirk. "And the title shot?"

Triple H nods. "If you win, your friend gets the title shot at King of the Ring. Alright, since I've been fair and given what you wanted-GIVE ME BACK MY GODDAMN BELT! Bladewolf, give me back my belt, now!"

Bladewolf tilts his head and was about to do so when Trish said something that made him smirk and look back at Triple H. "Say... please."

Triple H glared at him as the fans were enjoying how easily Bladewolf can get under Triple H's skin. Triple H paces back and fourth befor ehe swallows his pride and says reluctantly. "Please."

Bladewolf hands the title back to a ref who takes it up to Triple H.

"There you go, you really are a smart man, Bladewolf." Triple H said as he holds the title close. "But tonight... I'm gonna finish what I started a month ago. I'm gonna show you why I am the Game and why I am that damn good!"

Bladewolf smirks. "Enjoy that title while you can, hunter, hold it real tight. You may be that damn good but I'll show you why I am that...DAMN...BAD!"

Bladewolf drops the mic, raises his arms before he throws them down, causing lightning to hit the turnbuckles and fire to explode as Bladewolf's theme plays. Bladewolf stares down triple h before the show cuts to commercial break...

The time of the main event had come. It was Bladewolf vs triple H in a non-title match, their first match since the RAW after WrestleMania 16 where Triple h won the WWF Championship. If Bladewolf wins tonight, then a mystery friend of Bladewolf's gets the WWF title shot at the King of the Ring.

In the arena, Triple H's theme plays and out comes the WWF Champion with Stephanie McMahon at his side. The power couple make their way down the ramp and get into the ring, triple H posing with the WWF Championship, though he was not in a good mood. Earlier tonight, Vince McMahon made a match between the Undertaker, Road Dogg and X-Pac where if the undertaker wins, then Undertaker gets the title shot at King of the Ring, and it was the same with the Rock. So triple H had to deal with the Rock and the Undertaker, and he was going to make sure he didn't have to deal with a 3rd contender after tonight.

Triple H hands the title to Stephanie and his theme dies down as the Game glares at the entrance stage, waiting for his rival and enemy to appear.

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

Dead Silent plays to a pop from the fans as smoke fills the stage, the lights dimming to a familiar sinister blood red and dark blue. The Bladewolf and Trish Stratus walk out to a loud pop from the fans as they make their way to the ring but Bladewolf pauses and walks around the ring to grab a microphone, causing his theme to die down.

"You, referee, leave... NOW!" Bladewolf barked with a growl. The referee leaves much to the confusion of Triple H. "Triple H, there's been a change in plans. This match has a special guest referee that I know and trust to call the match like it is and he's certainly not afraid of you, Hunter... Earl Hebner!"

The SmackDown theme plays as Earl Hebner makes his way to the ring while Triple H is livid and Bladewolf gets onto the ring apron and enters the ring while Trish remains outside the ring on one side, Stephanie on the other. Earl Hebner enters the ring and argues with Triple h. Bladewolf takes his coat off, followed by his shirt and reveals his new ring gear.

He wore a black wrestling singlet with black wrestling tights, similar to what WCW's Sting wears in his Crow gimmick, but instead of there being white scorpions on the side, Bladewolf has the Undertaker TX symbol one the right side, and a red fire pattern on the left with the face of a demonic wolf with red eyes. Bladewolf also wore his black gloves, black boots, and had two black elbow pads as well.

Triple H turns around to see Bladewolf standing there and the referee calls for the bell to begin the match.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Bladewolf uppercuts Triple H, knocking the WWF Champion down, then floors him with a follow-up clothesline. Triple H stumbles to his feet and gets in the cornere where Bladewolf starts furiously hammering away on the man who put him out for nearly two months. Bladewolf stomps on Triple H a few times then backs off before he runs and drives his knee into the face of the WWF Champion. Bladewolf pulls Triple H to his feet by yanking on his hair, then delivers a hard right into the stomach of Triple H, followed by a left uppercut, then a right elbow to the side of the head.

Bladewolf then holds Triple H close and hits a belly-to-belly suplex, sending triple H rolling out the ring near the announcers' table. Stephanie goes to check on her husband as Bladewolf gets to his feet and walks over, exits the ring which causes Stephanie to back off as Bladewolf grabs Triple H and goes to ram his head off the announce table only for Triple H to reverse it and ram Bladewolf's head off the table instead, bringing the Demon Wolf to a knee. Triple H grabs Bladewolf but the Demon Wolf uppercuts Triple H, knocking him back against the steps.

Bladewolf runs at Triple H who moves out the way and Bladewolf crashes into the steel steps, allowing Triple H to start hammering away on him with hard rights to the forehead. Triple H gets to his feet and brings Bladewolf back into the ring and slides in after him. Triple H gets Bladewolf in the corner and stomps away on him with hard stomps to the stomach.

Earl Hebner gets involved and Triple h gets in his face and argues with the referee. Triple H goes to continue his assault... BUT IS GRABBED BY THE THROAT BY BLADEWOLF!

Triple H lands a fury of lefts and rights which breaks Bladewolf's grip before Triple h runs, rebounds off the ropes and goes for a clothesline but Bladewolf ducks it, grabs Triple h from behind... AND HITS THE DOOMSDAY SAITO SUPLEX! Bladewolf sits up and smirks before getting to his feet as Triple H is trying to recover from the new move.

Bladewolf grabs Triple H and Irish whips him into the corner, runs and nails the turnbuckle clothesline, lifts him up onto hsi right shoulder before he runs... AND NAILS A RUNNING POWERSLAM! Bladewolf gets to his feet, rebounds off the ropes... AND FINISHES WITH A LEG DROP ACROSS THE THROAT OF TRIPLE H! HE HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THRE-! Triple H kicks out!

Bladewolf flips his hair back after getting to his feet before grabbing triple h who lands a knee to Bladewolf's stomach, then sets up for the Pedigree but Bladewolf throws him over his back. Triple H gets to his feet and turns around only to be lifted up onto Bladewolf's shoulders... AND HIT WITH THE FURY OF THE WOLF! HE HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THREE! THE BLADEWOLF HAS BEATEN TRIPLE H!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Dead Silent plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet and Trish joins him, holding his arm before raising it. Bladewolf looks down at Triple H before he gets a microphone and goes to a knee, leaning in close to Triple H as his theme dies down.

"Since I got what I wanted, let me introduce to you my "good friend" that you'll face at King of the Ring for your WWF title. His name...IS KANE!"

The pyro explodes and Kane's theme plays to a loud pop as the Big Red Machine makes his way to the ring and joins his little brother in the ring. Kane looks down at Triple H before looking at his little brother. Triple H stumbles to his feet and turns around... INTO A GOOZLE FROM KANE! Kane lifts Triple H up... AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!

Bladewolf takes the WWF Championship and hands it to Kane who poses over Triple H with it as SmackDown goes off the air...

And that's it for this chapter.
