Week 2
Chapter 3
Invasion
Just last week, a RAW invasion force was sent to Smackdown, but they, luckily, failed. On the other hand, The Smackdown superstars whom were targeted by the RAW superstars were severely beaten by the cloaked RAW guy AND the legendary phenom, the Undertaker. Apparently, they've formed some kind of alliance, but regardless, it does not bode well for ANYONE.
RAW"Hey there, folks. This is good old J.R., Jim Ross here with Jerry "The King" Lawler, and The Coach." J.R. said, excitedly. "So, what do you two think of what went down both on RAW and Smackdown last week?"
"Well, J.R., I think that it's a bit frightening that that cloaked guy and The Undertaker have teamed up. Just think about it this way: The Undertaker is the most legendary current wrestler, and this alleged "Devil" talks a big game… and brings an even bigger one." The King said seriously.
"Yeah, well Mr. Bischoff's coming out in a moment; maybe he'll sort this out." Coach Boldly Declared.
Soon enough, the GM's music began to play. He walked out with a security force surrounding him. He walked into the ring, and picked up a mic. "All of you saw this new figure that destroyed many a superstar last week. He picked off Smackdown's World Heavyweight champ, Batista, Randy Orton, Those two new guys, whatever their names are, and RAW's new rookie, Ravenmane. Well, All of them have some sort of past or present vendetta with me, whether they remember it or not, and were all severely punished. In other words, I'm pulling his…" The song holding the worst premonition in sports entertainment cut off Bischoff: Scott Strapp's The Great Divide.
The Cloaked figure rode his motorcycle to ringside, parked it, got off, and confronted the large security guard outside the ring. He grabbed his throat, and threw him to the side. The Rest of the security guards swarmed him, but the entire group was severely beaten. Bischoff went out the back of the ring to escape, but froze as soon as a gong sounded, and the ring went pitch black. When the lights came back on, The Undertaker grabbed Bischoff by his throat, and pointed to an empty casket not even a foot away from him. Bischoff shook his head profusely, until the hooded figure walked out, next to the taker, and grabbed onto Bischoff's throat with his hand as well.
"Bischoff…" The hooded figure said. "The only person pulling ay strings here… is I. And your strings… Have just been cut…" The figure dropped the mic, and nodded to the undertaker.
The Two of them lifted Bischoff up, and chokeslammed him into the casket. The figure closed the lid, and handed the undertaker the mic. The undertaker then said a few words that made the crowd erupt in cheers… "Eric Bischoff… Rest… In… Peace!"
The undertaker then, as per usual, disappeared, and the hooded figure rode his bike to the back. No one dared to try and stop him. The night would have proceeded with a number of matches… It would've is the key phrase. Bischoff, however, went missing. No one could even get close to finding him. So, throughout the night, Superstars came down to the ring, brawled a bit, and were separated, until the final straw. Ravenmane, John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Big Show all came down to the ring. Shawn Michaels had the mic, and promptly began to speak. "Last week, we all decided to invade Smackdown, however only Cena and Ravenmane made it. Their efforts were futile, however, as a RAW traitor took both of them out. Now, we know for a fact that al least five Smackdown superstars are out there, so, how about a little brawl?" Michaels asked. They were all in their wrestling gear, and ready to fight them to the death.
Soon, A Smackdown song hit the arena: Stricken by Disturbed. 5 Smackdown superstars now came from the back. Batista came out first, Followed by Dragonmare and Wolfwood, then Bobby Lashley, and then Randy Orton. After all 5 Smackdown superstars entered the ring, they all began brawling. It didn't take long for the entire RAW locker room, with the exception of the divas, to enter out, making this fight extremely shortsighted. Batista began handing out spinebusters like candy; Dragonmare dyed the entire ring red, after hitting about ten RAW superstars with the bloody trail. Wolfwood took out about three people with His Wolf's Bane cutter, Orton Took out about the same out with the RKO, and Lashley took down four people with The Dominator. Soon, however, the remaining RAW superstars overtook them. That did not last forever, though. For soon all of the guys on the Smackdown roster entered the ring, and began fighting the remaining RAW superstars.
That didn't last long either. Soon after, The Great divide by Scott Strapp began playing, and a gong sounded at regular and repeating intervals. The lights all went off, and when they went back on, the superstars found Undertaker and The Hooded figure in the center of the ring. The superstars other than those two ran towards the ropes, but found that they were caged in. The cloaked figure, for the first time ever, took off his cloak, to reveal all of his physical features. After doing so, he shook his head, moving his reddish-black hair out of his face. He thrust his muscular right arm out, grabbing Brian Kendrick by the throat. He then, with that one hand, picked him up, and slammed him down.
The wind from the slam made the muscles on his bare chest twitch slightly, making his tattoo of a blood red angel's wing twitch. The tribal Red Cross on both of his forearms twitched as well. His Blood red eyes glimmered as soon as he looked at his prey. He picked up a mic, and said "Now then… Everyone on both rosters know what I look like… You all know what to fear… However, you have no name to call me by… How about you all call me… Redwing… The Destroyer …" He then dropped the mic, and focused on the superstars again.
He then took a step forward, making his black jeans make a ruffling sound that made the superstars trapped in the cage shake. JBL pushed Paul London at The Undertaker and Redwing, who both big booted him square in the face. He fell like a ton of bricks. Rey Mysterio and RVD tried next. Both jumped at them, but were caught by the throat in mid air. They were then slammed down clear to hell, with two vicious chokeslams. After them, Kane and Big Show attempted to get the job done. Kane and Big Show grabbed onto The Undertaker's throat, but forgot about Redwing, Who viciously speared Kane into the steel cage, making the entire structure shake. The Big Show rushed him next, but was met by a powerslam.
At that point, everyone left, whether they are from Smackdown or RAW, rushed The Undertaker and Redwing. Carlito and Chris Masters were the first in the crowd to attempt, but not the last to fail. Both of them were thrown clear through the Steel complex, prompting the remaining individuals inside of the cage to attempt to escape. Redwing, however, pulled out a weapon from under the ring: A kendo stick. He immediately began handing out ass whippings like candy to many unfortunate superstars who came his way. Finally, there were only six left: Batista, Wolfwood, Dragonmare, Ravenmane, John Cena, and The Big Show, who managed to recover somehow. Batista, Wolfwood and Dragonmare all swarmed around the undertaker, whilst Cena, Ravenmane and The Big Show all stared down The Destroyer. Dragonmare and Wolfwood charged in, but both were Grabbed by their throats, and Chokeslammed to hell. Batista went for the spear, but the undertaker kicked him right in time, and hit him with his devastating Last Ride.
The Big Show grabbed The Fallen Angle for his chokeslam; Cena then picked him up for his F-U, and Ravenmane his Divine Judgment Jackhammer. The Destroyer, however, got right back up. His First Victim was John Cena He picked him up, and hit him with a Powerbomb onto the steel wall that was knocked out earlier. Big Show then rushed in foolishly, and was hit by Redwing's Dominator, which leveled the ring in half once again. Redwing then picked up a mic, and spoke. "Once again, a superstar has fallen victim to my dominator, but it has no name… The fans call it the great Divide, but that sounds too cliché… How about… The Rapture." He Then Dropped The mic, and focused back on Ravenmane.
He Held him up, as if he was gonna hit him with a powerslam, but then tossed him up onto his shoulders. Redwing then spun around, hitting Ravenmane with one of the most hellacious F-5's a RAW crowd had ever seen. When Ravenmane hit the rest of the elevated mat, it was completely leveled. Ravenmane looked as if he had seen death itself. "That move… I think I'll name it too… From here on, that F-5 will be known as… Nirvana." He then dropped the mic, and He and Undertaker exited the Ring… Not before sealing the cage back up, leaving every guy on both rosters all but dead. About three minutes after their departure, Vince McMahon came out form his office, and began addressing the large pile of superstars in the ring, all of whom had been RUTHLESSLY beaten down. To make everything worse, only two men beat them down.
McMahon shook his head in disgust before anything was said. "You all call yourselves WWE superstars? You ALL make me sick to the stomach. Every last one of you, whether you have WWE gold or not, was decimated by TWO people! Two! Apparently, you all can't defend yourselves or you respective show well enough, so I've brought a few people here to help you. RAW, you will be receiving three men who are, actually, coming this way right now. Smackdown, the same goes for you."
Not even moments after Mr. McMahon said those words, three very familiar superstars made their ways out of the back. The theme that led them out was rather unfamiliar one: Remedy by Seether. The Three that walked out truly shocked the WWE fans in attendance. "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner all walked out, and looked down at the ring, none of them showed any kind of emotion on their faces. "And now, RAW's new security force…"
The lights all dimmed, and the song Truth by Seether began playing. The Three superstars who walked out were as emotionless as the Smackdown guys. These three were also old WCW guys: Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger, and none other than Bill Goldberg. "Goldberg, have you and your group come up with a name yet?" McMahon asked.
Goldberg, DDP, and Luger all looked at each other, and nodded. "The New Blood." Goldberg said dangerously.
"Nash? How about you all?" McMahon asked.
"We discussed it, Vince, and we've decided on… The Wolf Pack." Nash, hall, and Steiner all punched fists, and made a wolf with their right hands.
Suddenly, The Great Divide by Scott Strapp began playing, and the lights went out. A cathedral's bell sounded twice, and the lights went back on. Redwing and The Undertaker were both on top of the cage, which for some unknown reason had a roof on it. They looked down heartlessly at their handiwork, and then looked dangerously at both The New Blood and The Wolf Pack. "Well, well; Kevin Nash… Bill Goldberg… Scott Hall… Diamond Dallas Page… Scott Steiner… Lex Luger… It is truly an honor. I would take more time to mention this, but I have to instead warn you all… You all just painted a bull's-eye on your chests. You'd better be ready for hell…"
McMahon then spoke "Who the HELL do you think you are! You've been interfering in both Smackdown and RAW's affairs… Granted, I greatly appreciate that disappearing act you pulled on Bischoff, but still. You and the Undertaker have to be stopped before you both completely control everything in the WWE."
End Chapter
Chapter 4
A Light In the Darkness
It was a true miracle that there was actually a Smackdown this week. Only days ago, every Smackdown and RAW superstar was completely annihilated by the hooded figure, who now has a name, and the phenom, the Undertaker. Even worse, by order of Vincent Kennedy McMahon himself, all of the WWE titles have been vacated, and there will be numerous matches for the newly vacated titles on their respectful shows. As if that wasn't enough, Two new groups have been formed to hold order on Smackdown and RAW: The New blood, comprised of Goldberg, Diamond Dallas Page, and Lex Luger, and The Wolf Pack, made up of "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Scott Steiner.
Smackdown!
Immediately after the pyrotechnical effect that signaled the beginning of Smackdown, General Manager Theodore Long came down to the ring, and picked up his microphone. "As per Mr. McMahon's orders, we will have to make up for lost grounds. Now, all of the WWE titles must be defended tonight. So, On Smackdown, the championships will be defended in this order: First, will be Cruiserweight title, Then the United States title, followed by the Tag team title, and in the main event, a Hell in a Cell elimination for the World Heavyweight title. Everyone from the locker room, regardless of who they are, will be allowed to join. It's just like Palmer Canon says: Now that's T.V. that's changing Friday nights."
With that, teddy went back to his office, and called the Wolf Pack into his office. "Okay playas. Tonight's a very important night. I'm hoping that this goes down without a hitch, but you never know in this business anymore. You Three are gonna be in the Main Event for the World Heavyweight Championship for two reasons. One, I want that match to go off without a hitch. Two, You guys are defending Smackdown from Redwing and the Phenom. You deserve a title shot more than anyone else."
With those words said, The Wolf Pack exited the GM's office, and proceeded to the locker room to get ready for their matches they would have throughout the night. As promised, the cruiserweights all competed for the cruiserweight championship. It was revealed that it would be a gauntlet match. In a gauntlet match, two people enter. The first person to secure a pin fall in that match would face a second opponent. The winner of that match would meet a third opponent, and the winner of that would face one final opponent. The winner of the final match would be the winner.
The first theme to play was Gregory Helms's, the former Cruiserweight champion's, theme. He got into the ring, and was met by Scotty 2 Hotty. The fans were still cheering Scotty when he first arrived in the ring. The very second he entered the ring, Helms hit Scotty with his shining wizard, knocking him clear out. Helms pinned, and got a three count. The next opponent to enter the ring was Nunzio, who met a similar fate; Three-count included. The fourth man to come out was Paul London. He entered from the front, but Helms missed with his shining Wizard, but came back, and rolled him up and got a three count. Not without a little support from the ropes, however.
The final entrant shocked the entire arena rather quickly. Chop Suey by system of a down began playing, shocking Helms. Before he could realize fully what was about to happen, Wolfwood sprinted down to the ring, and jumped up to the mat, onto the ropes, and springboard Dropkicked Helms hard in the chest. When Helms got back up, Wolfwood kicked him in the mid-section, and set up for a DDT. He then, however, turned Helms over, as if he was setting up for a reverse DDT, but then Jumped clear over him, slamming him down to the mat. Helms was out cold, and Wolfwood pinned.
"There's that Wolf's bane, Cole, this match is in the bag." Tazz said.
"1, 2, and 3. Right you are Tazz." Cole responded.
"Here is your winner, Nick Wolfwood!" the announcer said.
Wolfwood held the title belt in his arms, and cheered in the ring. His theme music began playing, and he embraced the belt. He exited to the back, and shook the hands of the many cruiserweights. Helms suddenly came from nowhere, and was about to hit him with a chair, but missed, and hit a table. The chair bounced up, and hit him in the face. He then turned around, with the chair clear in front of his face, and was hit by the chair after Wolfwood hit it with a vicious roundhouse kick. Helms then fell back, through the table.
"This next match is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, the former United states champion, Booker T!"
With that, Booker T made his way down to the ring. He had no choice but to compete, so he was in ring gear. As if that wasn't enough, His wife Sharmell was banned from ringside. The next song that hit the ring shocked Booker T to the core. Stricken by Disturbed began playing, which could only mean one thing… The arrival of The Dragon." Booker T exited the ring, and ran back into the commentator's table. "The Bloody Trail" himself entered the ring, and took off his Shirt, which had a gray spider on it's front and back, and his black glasses. The match bell rang, and Teddy long came down to the ring, with an announcement. "Hey, Booker. Look, if you don't want to take part in this match, that your move, playa. But since you're not the champion anymore, if you lose via Disqualification of count-out, Dragon wins the title."
With that, teddy long exited to the back, and Booker T entered the ring. Dragonmare immediately started the match by punching Booker T in the jaw, knocking him down pretty far. He then picked him up, and gripped him by the throat. He then lifted Booker up, off his feet, and slammed him down. Booker then got to his feet from sheer dizziness, and Dragonmare wrapped his arm around his neck. Booker suddenly regained consciousness, and had a look of sheer terror on his face. Dragonmare fell backwards, hitting booker hard with "The Bloody Trail." He then pinned a bloody Booker T.
"1, 2, 3" the ref exclaimed.
Dragonmare was then handed the belt, which he smirked slightly at. He received his long, black coat and glasses back, and put both on. He then put the belt on his waist, and proceeded out of the ring, and to the back. When he got back there, he looked at the belt, and smirked slightly. At that moment, the tag-team championship's match began. MNM, accompanied by Mark Henry, came out to the ring, which caused the crowd to explode in a chorus of boo's. The next song to hit the arena made the fans erupt in applause. The song, Remedy by Seether, began playing, and The Wolf Pack proceeded out to the ring.
When they got down to the ring, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, the Outsiders, entered the ring. Scott Steiner went over to Mark Henry, and dismissed him from ringside. Henry, in a fit of rage, attempted to hit "Big Poppa Pump," who picked him up, and hit him with a pump-handle slam. Henry was then helped to the back. As soon as the bell rang, Scott hall and Kevin Nash kicked Nitro and Mercury in the stomachs, causing them to bend over. Scott Hall picked Nitro up, held him, back to back, by his triceps, took a few steps forward, and launched him out of the ring. "Tazz, was that?" Cole asked.
"Sure was Cole. That was Scott Hall's patented Razor's Edge." Tazz replied.
Kevin Nash, on the other hand, Hoisted Mercury up for a powerbomb, and slammed him down, neck-first. "The Jackknife Powerbomb. I've never been hit with it, and don't intend on getting hit by it." Tazz said. Hall then pinned, much to the chagrin of Melina. "1, 2, 3!" The ref counted.
The bell was then rung, and their hands were raised. "The Winners, and New WWE tag team champions, the outsiders Kevin Nash and Scott Hall!" The announcer said. The whole Wolf Pack then proceeded to the back, and put their belts away. They, along with the rest of the Smackdown locker room, proceeded to the ring, with high hopes of becoming the World Heavyweight champion. They all came out by their own music, and assembled in the ring. The last song to play frightened the majority of the locker room. A gong sounded, and torch-wielding, black-cloaked druids filed out down the ramp. Another gong sounded, and the Undertaker proceeded out from the back. He walked into the ring, but Redwing was not there.
Every superstar on the Smackdown locker room was inside of the hellacious cell, vying for the grandest prize there was, and no one was willing to take second place to anyone else. Undertaker exited the cell, and waited on the outside. Soon, Orton went after him, and was met by a punch to the jaw. With that punch, everyone began brawling. Soon after that, the action began spilling outside of the cage; on top in particular.
After a grueling half an hour, no one had won yet. Undertaker and Lashley were brawling on top of the cell, Orton, Batista, JBL, Finlay, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall were brawling on the outside, and everyone else was on the inside. Undertaker finally managed to chokeslam Lashley onto the top of the cell, which seemed to be a signal for bad happenings. Suddenly, the great divide by Scott Strapp began playing, causing everyone but Nash, Hall, and Steiner to recoil in fear. They attempted to stop Redwing, but failed, for Redwing had a steel pipe. He then climbed on top of the cage, and chokeslammed Lashley onto the cell's top. Undertaker then smiled, and kicked Redwing in the mid-section. He held him up for a "Last Ride" but did not slam hi right away. He walked over to the edge, and Powerbombed him off of the cell, and through the announce table that Cole and Tazz were sitting at.
"Oh my god!" Cole yelled.
Undertaker then hit Lashley with his Tombstone Piledriver, and pinned. "1, 2, 3!" The bell was ringed, and undertaker's hand was raised. He then walked over to the Wolf Pack, whose leader, Kevin Nash, was still on the ground. The other two stepped back, while Nash stayed down. Undertaker then helped him up, and shook his hand. Nash raised his hand, and handed the Taker a microphone. "Redwing… You should pick your allies more carefully. I am far too loyal to the WWE to go along with your plans."
Nash then was handed the mic. "Taker, I honestly thought that you had betrayed the WWE, but I was wrong. Steiner, Hall, and myself have all decided that we would like you to join the wolf pack. Do you accept?"
Redwing now was standing straight up, but still in immense pain. Undertaker held his microphone to his mouth, and said, "Yes." Redwing was stunned. His supposed partner had now abandoned him, leaving him all by himself. And as many had learned, the locker room can be a very unforgiving place if you have no allies.
