The Bladewolf was shown backstage, watching the match with a smirk on his face. "you did good, babe." He said to himself.
Suddenly... HE WAS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY BULLETPROOF!
"We told you we were gonna get ya!" Jackal shouted as they slammed into the cameraman, making the screen go black but they could still hear the sounds of fighting, grunting and groaning, followed by a loud slam through something and then what sounded like weapons being used.
Eventually, the camera came back on to reveal Bulletproof standing over a bloodied and beaten Bladewolf with smirks on their faces.
"Hey!" bulletproof looked to see team WWF running for them and they quickly sprinted off as Kane and Undertaker check on Bladewolf while the rest of the team make sure Bulletproof is gone as Vince runs over and checks.
"Dammit! We need some help here!" Vince shouted.
Bladewolf would end up being taken away in an ambulance and would be replaced on the team by Chris Jericho...
Now I did this because... I couldn't find a full-match video on Team WWF vs the Alliance at Invasion, only the one at Survivor Series 2001, so I had to compromise because I don't have the WWE Network anymore. besides, I was going to make a feud between Bladewolf and Bulletproof, this was just the way to get that going.
