Chapter 21 Preview: from of Surprises

Last Monday night, the WWE Undisputed Championship tournament continued.

In our first match of the night, it was "puppies galore" as we had a 6-women tag team bar and panties elimination match. The match pitted Torrie Wilson, Ashley Massaro and Trish Stratus against Mickie James, Victoria and Candice Michelle. The team of Stratus, Wilson and Massaro won, with Ashley last eliminating Mickie James. After the match, Torrie sent a strong message by hitting Ashley with a Nose Job, saying that in 13 days the Women's Championship would be hers.

In our first tournament match, we saw Chris Masters take on Big Show in a submission match. Chris Masters who by locking a Triangle Choke in.

Shawn Michaels came out to address the crowd. Two weeks ago, HBK was attacked by Randy Orton and given a RKO off of a ladder through four tables. HBK simply stated that at Saturday's Night Main Event, he will team up with The Undertaker to take on Kane and Randy Orton in a Tag Team Hell in the Cell match. It was later announced that Michaels will take on Kane at Backlash.

In our second tournament match, John Cena went up against the "Rated R Superstar" Edge in a hardcore match. After a very good match, Cena gave Edge the FU off of the stage and through electrical equipment. Cena pinned and got the three count. What is the extent of Edge's injuries?

Speaking of John Cena, have we seen the last of the fan favorite? After his hardcore match, he spat in a fan's face and ripped a little kid's "Chaingang solider" poster up.

In the third tournament match, Vince McMahon battled Marty Jannety in a Chair on a Pole match. In a controversial finish, Vince hit Carlito with a chair as Carlito hit Vince. McMahon was declared the winner.

Earlier in the night, Shawn Michaels told unlimited that the old HBK is back. He proved it this week. He came out after the Jannety-McMahon match. He said that he heard rumors about Marty calling DX ass-kissers. He made a match. At Vengeance it will be Marty Jannety and 2 partners vs. X-Pac, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn.

HBK continued to show his worth in a Tag Team match. It was the New Age Outlaws vs. MnM for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships. HBK showed early favoritism and counted the quick three count and we have new champions.

As if that weren't all, HBK refereed the main event. Triple H squared off against Bret Hart in a Cage. It was a even fight, with HBK not showing any favoritism. HBK was then pushed into the cage and was lead to believe it was Bret. Bret had the match won when HBK hit him with a Superkick. Randy Orton came out and decided to give HBK two RKOs. Bret got to his feet and also got a RKO. Triple H eventually hit the pedigree for the three count.

Then, it happened. Kane and Orton came back to the ring. HBK, Hunter, Hart, Orton and Kane where all in the ring when the lights dimmed and a cloaked figure appeared at the top of the ramp. The figure raised his arms and lightning hit the ring posts.

What will be the fallout of this, come this Monday?

Chapter 21

Raw started off with a fireworks show. Then, Randy Orton's music hit. The Legend Killer came to the ring and rolled in. He got a mic.

"Shawn Michaels! You know, Shawn, you can't win. No matter what anybody does to me I get my revenge. Take a look at the Undertaker. At Vengeance, he beat me in that Cell. I came back a couple of weeks ago and locked him in a coffin. Look at you, Shawn. You entered yourself into the Hell in the Cell. So I came out and gave you two RKOs. And I added another legend to my "killed list". Hall of Famer...Bret Hart. But, Shawn, in 12 days at Saturday's Night Main Event, you will get yours. But now...Paul Bearer! You stuck your fat ass where it didn't belong. In 6 days, never mind. I was going to say I'll kill another legend but I don't consider you a legend." Orton said. "I don't have anything else to say so..."

Orton was cut off by Paul Bearer. He came to the ramp and a crew worker handed him a mic. "Randy. My, my, my. You didn't really think that after you attacked me, I'd lay down and take it? No...tonight I will get my revenge. Tonight I put you in a hardcore match...with Mankind. Oh yes!" Bearer walked backstage as Orton looked pissed.

"Paul Bearer is trying to soften up Orton for Backlash and then for the Hell in the Cell match." JR said.

Match 1

Torrie Wilson and Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus and Ashley Massaro

"Ladies and gentlemen, Torrie Wilson and Ashley Massaro used to be friends. When Ashley won the Women's Championship, their friendship went downhill. Torrie earned herself a shot at the Women's Championship. Last week, all ties to friendship were shattered, when after the tag match, Torrie attacked Ashley, eventually giving her a Nose Job. Just announced last night, is Mickie James vs. Trish Stratus for the number one contender's shot at the Women's Championship. So, Stephanie McMahon, who gave birth to her son last night, made Mickie and Torrie vs. Trish and Ashley." JR explained the next match.

Ashley made her way to the ring first, flaunting her Women's Championship. Her partner, Trish, came down next. Trish and Ashley shook hands, knowing the fact that at SNME they could be facing each other. Mickie James came out next, dressed as Trish Stratus. She didn't even act her cheerful self. She came to the ring, exactly like Trish. Torrie came out next and got in the ring next to Mickie. The ref signaled for the bell.

Mickie and Ashley started off. Mickie hit Ashley in the gut with a closed fist. Ashley doubled over in pain. Mickie then picked up Ashley and gave her an Irish whip into the corner. Mickie followed it up with a running dropkick to the face. Ashley fell to the canvas and tried to crawl over to Trish. Mickie tagged in Torrie and Torrie came in and dropped a knee on Ashley's head. Torrie picked Ashley up and hit her with a DDT. Trish broke up the count. Ashley got to her feet as Torrie got in Trish's face. Ashley pulled Torrie down by the hair and climbed on top of her. Ashley hit Torrie with slaps to the face. The ref finally pulled her off. Torrie tagged in Mickie as Trish was tagged in by Ashley.

Mickie slapped Trish in the face. Trish responded by giving Mickie a hard kick to the leg. Mickie went down on one knee but grabbed a handful of Trish's vagina to get the upper hand. Trish went near her corner. Mickie came over and hit Trish with a quick Mick Kick. Before she could get the cover, Ashley grabbed a handful of Mickie's hair and started to choke her. Torrie ran around the ring and pulled Ashley off of the apron and slapped her. Ashley didn't seem fazed and started to chase Torrie around the ring. Mickie yelled to the outside as Torrie and Ashley made their way backstage. Trish got up and rolled Mickie up for the three count, with the tights.

Trish got to her feet as Mickie rolled out of the ring and got a mic and the Women's championship. Trish taunted as Mickie got into the ring and sized her up. Trish turned around and Mickie hit her with the championship.

"You can't beat me Trash Stratus! I'll MAKE you love me, Trish. We WILL be together." Mickie said and picked Trish's head up and gave her a kiss. Trish's hand zoomed up and grabbed Mickie's head and kissed her back. Mickie broke the kiss and rolled out of the ring. Mickie looked shocked.

"I see what she is doing, King. Do you see it, Joey? She is playing mind games with Mickie. Turning her even more psycho could possibly be an advantage, but for who?" JR said.

Winners

Trish Stratus and Ashley Massaro

Vince McMahon was shown backstage, gearing up for his match with Triple H later on tonight. Paul Bearer walked by and Vince quickly grabbed him.

"I heard what you have planned for Saturday Night's Main Event. I like it. But, on your way to see Mankind, could you tell Shawn Michaels I want to see him." Vince said and Bearer walked out.

"While we wait to see what Vince has to say to HBK, lets take a look at why Paul Bearer shouldn't even be here tonight." Joey Styles said.

Great American Bash 2004 flashbacks

"The Undertaker made his triumphant return at WrestleMania XX, defeating Kane to become 12-0. The next few months, The Undertaker battled Booker T and the Dudley Boys. Paul Heyman put a stipulation on the line for Undertaker-Dudley Boys Handicap match. Paul Bearer would be in a concrete crypt. Heyman would fill the crypt with concrete if the Undertaker did not lay down for the Dudleys. It seemed as if Bearer would be safe and the Undertake would lay down. The Undertaker didn't lay down and came back and won the match. Heyman went to fulfill his promise when lightning struck the crypt. Taker walked to the crypt and pulled the level himself, filling the crypt with concrete on his own manager." Styles said. "We haven't seen or heard from Bearer until now, almost two years later."

The camera cut back to Vince McMahon. Shawn Michaels entered his office.

"Vinny Mac!" HBK said and embraced Vince.

"No. Shawn, listen. Let me tell you something, you stupid son of a bitch. You ruined last week's edition of Raw. You will not do it this week. If you interfere with any matches tonight, especially the Triple H match and the Randy Orton match. If you happen to, Shawn, let me tell you...you will be suspended indefinitely, without pay. Try me, Shawn. We'll see what happens." Vince said. "Now get the hell out of my office."

Match Two

Parking Lot Brawl

Chris Masters vs. John Cena

Masters entered the parking lot, holding a lead pipe. John Cena came into the parking lot holding nothing. He beckoned Masters forward. Masters ran forward and Cena met him with a back body drop onto the concrete. Cena got on top of Masters and hit him with lefts and rights. Masters got his hands up in front of him to protect himself. Cena got up and dropped a knee in Master's face. Masters crawled away from Cena and hid under a car to catch his bearings. Cena picked up the lead pipe. Cena tossed it under the car. No sound or motion came from under the car.

"Folks, we don't know the condition of Chris Masters. Lets just hope that he recovered in time to roll from under the car, because that would of been deadly if that pipe connected with Masters." JR said.

The camera panned back to the parking lot. Cena was sitting on the hood of a car. Cena hopped off of the hood and checked under the car where Masters was. Suddenly, Chris Masters grabbed Cena from behind and locked in the MasterLock. Cena flung his legs out and kicked the car door handle. The door opened and Cena jumped inside, with Masters still on his back. Before Masters could catch his bearings, Cena jumped back out and broke the MasterLock.

"Cena did it! Cena broke the MasterLock!" the King said.

Cena grabbed Masters and put him on his shoulder. Masters reversed the FU attempt and rolled him up for a two count. Cena got back to his feet and Masters set Cena up for a FU of his own. Cena jumped off of Masters's shoulders and pushed him into the car window! Cena pulled Masters from the window and gave him a FU. Cena covered for the three count.

Winner

John Cena

"Well, now Cena has a fifty-fifty chance of winning the Undisputed Championship this Sunday. He will either face Vince McMahon or Triple H, who face inside of a Lion's Den here tonight, which is a match originated by Ken Shamrock." Styles said. "The den is just like a steel cage."

Match Three

Lion's Den Match

Vince McMahon vs. Triple H

Before the match started, Shawn Michaels walked up to Triple H. "Hunter, don't worry about Vince. He's a push over. Just slam his head a couple times against the steel cage and knock him senseless. But, if sht goes down, I got your back." HBK said.

"Thanks, Shawn. That Hell in the Cell, in 12 days..the rest of DX has your back. Besides, you got Undertaker, but DX will be at ringside. Alright, I'll see you back here." HHH said and walked to the ring as his music played.

The Game walked down the ramp and into the lion's den set on the left of the stage. Vince McMahon's music hit and he came out with his son, Shane McMahon, who was making a comeback. Vince climbed into the lion's den. One referee locked the door shut as another climbed in to referee the match.

The bell rang. Vince tried to climb out of the den but The Game grabbed him and slammed him head into the cage. Vince crawled away. Triple H picked Vince up and set him up for a suplex. Triple H held him in the air for a few seconds and then dropped him. Vince held his back in pain. Shane ran backstage and grabbed a ladder and ran back out and tossed it into the den, along with a steel chair. Triple H picked up the chair. Vince stumbled to his feet and Triple H hit him the back with the chair. Vince fell to his knees as Shane looked on in horror.

"Obviously, thats not how Shane wanted the chair to be utilized." JR said.

"Triple H bent the chair over the Chairman's back." Styles said.

The Game put the ladder on the ground and put Vince in the middle of it. Triple H raised the chair into the air and brought it down on the ladder, crushing Vince. Shane started to climb the den. Triple H didn't notice it and set Vince up for a Pedigree. X-Pac came running from the back and shook the cage. Shane feel, on his crotch, on the den. X-Pac then grabbed Shane off and hit the X-Factor on Shane. Marty Jannety ran out and took down X-Pac. Jannety picked X-Pac up and gave him a spinning heel kick to the temple. In the ring, Triple H stared at the mess going around outside.

Triple H told the ref to open the door. The ref opened the door. Marty saw the door open and gave The Game a dropkick. Marty slammed the door shut and Vince rolled up Triple H! The ref counted the two count. The Game got to his feet and set Vince up for a Pedigree. Triple H jumped in the air and hit Vince with a Pedigree on the steel chair. Triple H covered Vince for the three count.

Triple H got to his feet and then helped McMahon up in a show of respect. HHH then picked up the chair and crowned the chairman with it. Triple H picked him up again and gave him a Pedigree, this time on the ladder. The Game opened the door and stepped out. Shane, X-Pac and Jannety had already gone to the back.

"Folks, this Sunday, John Cena takes on Triple H for the Undisputed Championship." JR said.

Winner

Triple H

"What a week this could be for the Game! He had a baby last night and we could possibly win the Undisputed Championship this Sunday." King said.

Linda McMahon came to the stage. "Congratulations, Hunter. Good luck this Sunday. I'd also like to wish Stephanie McMahon good luck with her baby. And, on to even better news. At Backlash, a Number One Contender Battle Royal will be held. The Winner will take on either John Cena or Triple H at Saturday Night's Main Event. The only superstars exempt are John Cena, the Undertaker, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kane and Randy Orton. Good luck." Linda said and walked backstage.

Main Event

Hardcore Match

Randy Orton vs. Mankind

Randy Orton came down to the ring, wheeling a shopping cart full of weapons. Mankind's music hit and he came to the ring with Paul Bearer. Mankind was unarmed.

"Does Foley have a death wish? No weapons?" Styles said.

Mankind rolled in the ring and proceeded to rip the hair out of his head. Orton looked on in amazement. Mankind got to his feet and then ran and took down Orton with a clothesline. The ref signaled for the bell. Mankind got on top of Orton and elbowed him in the throat. Foley rolled away and moaned in agony. Orton got back to his feet and dropped a hard knee into the back of Mankind. Mankind rolled out of the ring and crawled up the ramp. Orton followed and kicked Mankind in his stomach. Mankind lay over in pain and rolled back down the ramp to the ring. He got to his feet and sat on the stairs to catch his breath.

Orton ran in for a spear but Mankind dove out of the way and Orton hit the steps. Mankind reached under the ring and got out a table. He set up the table and got one more and set it next to the other one. Mankind got an evil look on his face and went to the other side of the ring to get something. Barbed wire.

Mankind proceeded to wrap the tables in barbed wire as Orton struggled to his feet. Orton rolled into the ring and Mankind followed. Orton got to his feet first and hit Mankind with an uppercut as Mankind went to grab him. Orton then climbed to the second rope and jumped off with a knee to the chest. Orton moaned as Mankind writhed underneath Orton's weight. Orton got back up and got Mankind o his feet and set him up in the corner. Orton slapped him and then kicked him in the gut and went to the opposite side of the ring. Orton ran over and hit Mankind with a huge running dropkick.

Mankind fell to the floor and Orton covered for an unsuccessful pin attempt. Orton got back to his feet and got a bottle of lighter fluid from underneath the ring cover. Orton doused the now-barbed wire covered tables with the fluid, but didn't set it on fire. Mankind rolled out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair. Orton got out of the ring and grabbed Mankind's shirt. Orton spun Mankind around and was hit in the face with the steel chair.

Orton didn't fall but crawled to the backstage area. Paul Bearer got the urn and walked back with them. When the cameras got there, Mankind gave Orton a DDT on the concrete. Mankind didn't pin, instead pulled out Mr. Socko. Mankind wrapped Socko around his hand as Orton got back to is feet and hit the backbreaker.

Orton got to the ring and set the barb-wired, lighter fluid-filler tables up. Mankind came to the back and stood on the apron. Orton followed Foley onto the apron but Mankind knocked him over the ropes and into the ring. Orton sat in the corner to catch his breath and Mankind ran in and hit him with a knee to the face. Orton rolled out of the ring and held his nose. Mankind followed him out and grabbed the barbed wire wrapped bat from under the ring. Mankind held it up in the air and sent it crashing down on the back of Orton. Orton fell to the floor in pain. Mankind stood over him and put the bat to his forehead and scraped. The blood poured out of Orton's head. Orton got on the apron and asked the ref for something as Mankind climbed on with him. Orton tossed a match onto the tables, lighting them on fire. Mankind tried sticking Socko down Orton's throat but Orton kicked him the gut and gave him a RKO through the flaming table! Orton covered Mankind for the three count.

"OH MY GOD! RANDY ORTON JUST GAVE MANKIND A RKO THOUGH A FLAMING TABLES WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE!" JR screamed. "HE'S BROKEN! THEY ARE BOTH DEAD!"
