Chapter 11: 3 Stages of Pain

"Red Bandit will have all of his titles on the line tonight. His first match will be for his U.S. title against Edge, then Trifecta will face Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi and then for the WWE Championship he will face Eddie Gurrero in a Ladder Match. Instead of Crossfire being his partner it will be Big Show, because the WWE Last Man Championship will be on the line against Jon McClain in a Last Man Standing Match," Heyman told the crowd of Minneapolis.

1st Match against Edge- U.S. Championship

Red entered the ring with his belt in his hand and gave it to the ref. Edge's music then hit but Edge didn't come out then Red turned around and was hit with a painful spear to his midsection. The bell rang and Edge quickly went to work on Red after a while he even hit the Edgecution and went for the pin, but he didn't get it. Red reversed a spear with a super kick to the jaw of Edge; he went to the top of the turnbuckle and waited. Edge then stood up not knowing where Red was, Red jumped and grabbed Edge's neck he hit a so-called flying KOKO. Red told the people before the match that he had a new move to show the people and it was called the Flying Elbow. Red went back to the top turnbuckle and hit his elbow with the palm of his other hand twice and jumped just as he thought he would he hit Edge in the chest about 2 inches from his collarbone. Red laid there as the ref counted he knew he had kept one of his belts safe, the ref got the 3-count. Red stood up and out came Big Show and the other Tag belt he helped him up and put him on the apron. Red tried to stand but he couldn't he grabbed the turnbuckle and laid his head on it.

2nd Match against Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi- Tag Team Championship

Scotty & Rikishi entered the ring and Rikishi became the legal man. Big Show took no time in attacking Rikishi with a clothesline he then headbutted him. He saw Rikishi look at Scotty and nod his head; Scotty then distracted the ref and Rikishi hit a low blow and Show fell. Red knew the rules said he had to be tagged at least once in the match. So with all his strength he entered the ring and hit Scotty he then hit Rikishi with a KOKO, he dragged Show all the way to his corner which was a good 8 feet he stood on the apron while Show stood up. He made the tag and Red jumped on the rope and did a spring board which was very unusual for his division but he had to keep this title he hit Rikishi with the springboard and landed on his chest. Scotty entered the ring and stopped Red from getting the pin, Red grabbed Rikishi and Irish Whipped him to the ropes and did another KOKO he then went for the pin. Scotty came back in only to be chokeslammed by Show, Red had the 3-count he then felt a chair hit his back and heard the bell rang. He looked up and saw Edge holding it he rolled out of the ring and hit the concrete hard. Show hit Edge and chokeslammed him on the chair Red kept another title safe thanks to Edge.

3rd Match against Eddie Gurrero- WWE Championship

Heyman came out and told Red, "Red good job so far, but this match won't be so easy it's gonna be you vs. Eddie vs. Edge vs. Big Show vs. Rikishi vs. Scotty 2 Hotty in a 6-man elimination NO DQ match. They swarmed the ring and had their eyes on Red like he was a piece of meat and they were hungry lions. Edge hit his Edgecution on Scotty while Big Show took on Rikishi, Eddie, and Red. After about 15 minutes Rikishi tapped to Eddie's Lasso from El Paso and Edge was pinned by Scotty. Red then hit a KOKO on everyone who was left. He pinned Scotty then Eddie pinned Big Show it was down to Red and Eddie. Eddie went and grabbed a chair and hit Red 3 times then put him in the Lasso from El Paso. Red felt like tapping but he saw something it was a lead pipe that Edge brought with him but he dropped it when he got chokeslammed. Red grabbed and desperately got out of the submission Eddie went for the chair but went to the top turnbuckle instead. He jumped and performed a Frog Splash but as Eddie landed he felt something hit his gut he looked over and saw Red holding the pipe. Red got up and summoned the strength to do the Shapeshifter 360 he hit Eddie in the gut and went for the pin. 1, 2, 3 he did it he lasted for an 1 hour and 45 minutes and managed to keep all of his titles. Red stood up and exited the ring and headed back to the locker room.
