WWE Chronicles 3
Backlash
Jim Ross: "Hello everybody and welcome to WWE Backlash! The fallout from WrestleMania and the Draft is here.
Michael Cole: "Yes, and tonight we have multi-brand action. On Smackdown's side of things we have United States Championship action as MVP takes on the Rock."
Carrie Underwood: "The Women's Championship is also on the line as Smackdown's Candice Michelle takes on Raw's Maria."
Michael Cole: "And the WWE Championship is defended in our main event tonight as Randy Orton battles Kane, Ric Flair, the Miz, the Big Show and Triple H inside of that Elimination Chamber."
Tazz: "And what a rocketbuster that'll be. On ECW's side, we have the ECW Television title, being revived as King Booker takes on Rey Mysterio."
Joey Styles: "And how bout this one! Psycho Sid challenges John Cena for the ECW championship."
Tazz: "Kevin Nash defends his Intercontinental Championship against Batista. In a statement from the Board of Directors, the winner will be shipped to Raw, in a trade for CM Punk. Styles, we're gonna lose one...but we're gonna gain one hell of a superstar."
Jerry "the King" Lawler: "Coming back to Raw, we have Big Daddy V going against the Great Khali. The biggest men in the WWE face off, and by God, it's gonna be scary.
Jim Ross: "In a dream match for most, Shawn Michaels takes on the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, here tonight. I'm personally psyched for that match."
Jerry Lawler: "The Deadman looks to retain his World Heavyweight Championship tonight against Vader."
"Oh, Let Me Show You What Love Is, Let Me Show You How To Move Your Body" hit the speakers and the Women's Champion came down to the ring. Candice got on the ring, near the fans. She tore open her jacket. She gave her jacket to a technician and got in the ring. "With Legs Like That" hit the speakers and the number one contender came out, waving and smiling. She got in the ring and the bell rang.
Jim Ross: "Can Maria take home the gold?"
Maria and Candice locked up in the middle of the ring. Candice wrenched Maria's arm and flipped her. Candice locked in an armbar.
Michael Cole: "Great technical moves by Candice. If I were Maria, I'd be worried."
Maria screamed in pain. She flailed her arms about and grabbed Candice's hair. Maria pulled Candice's head. Candice let go of the number one contender. Maria got to her feet and grabbed Candice by the hair and gave her a Snap Mare. Candice landed on her butt, and Maria gave her a dropkick to her back.
Jim Ross: "We're seeing a mean streak from Maria, here."
Maria picked up Candice and gave her an Irish Whip. Candice came running in and Maria gave her a FlapJack! The referee got down and made the count. 1...2...3.
Lillian Garcia: "Here is your winner and the new WWE Women's Champion...Maria!"
Maria looked overjoyed as she asked for a mic and her belt. She held her belt up. She noticed that Candice was getting up and she put down her belt and helped her up, in a true friend way. Maria held Candice's hand up and then hit her with the microphone! The fans booed loudly as Maria held her Women's Championship over her head.
Maria: "Seeing as I'm the new Women's Champion, I hereby announce my move to Smackdown, to where the real competition is at."
Maria picked up Candice and held her into the air, before spiking her with a DDT! Maria got her championship and walked backstage as they showed a video package of King Booker and Rey Mysterio.
Justin Roberts: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the ECW Television title! Making his way to the ring, being accompanied by Queen Sharmell...King Booker!"
King Booker's music hit and the royal one came down to the ring. He got in the ring and held his pinky up, in a wave.
Justin Roberts : "And his opponent...from San Diego, California...Reyy Mysterioooo!"
"Booyaka 619" hit the speakers. Rey came from backstage, with a limp. He was obviously affected by Booker's attack Tuesday night.
Tazz: "This doesn't look too good for Rey now."
Rey got in the ring, favoring his right side. Booker shook his head and hit him with a swift kick to the left shoulder. Rey went down, holding his shoulder in severe pain. Booker picked Rey up and kneed him in the shoulder.
Joey Styles: "I was talking to Rey and he told me he injured himself when he did the Sunset Flip on Kenny. He left side went numb. He also told me that he won't stay down for Booker, no matter how much pain he is in."
Booker locked in a Bearhug. Rey smacked Booker's ears and Booker dropped him. Rey ran in and hit a running tornado DDT. Rey covered Booker, but the King kicked out. The Queen yelled on from ringside. Rey picked Booker up, using mainly his right side. He pushed Booker and Booker came back with a spinning kick to the head. Rey went down and Booker grabbed his feet. Booker arched Rey's back and locked him in a Boston Crab.
Tazz: "Booker going to a place he rarely goes. He has the submission locked in, and it doesn't look too good for the former World Champion."
Rey tried crawling to the ropes but Booker pulled him to the middle of the ring. Booker released the hold and waited for Rey to get up. Rey got up and Booker grabbed his arm and gave him a Book End! 1-2-REY KICKS OUT. The fans were stunned as this short match had Booker dominating fully, and Rey somehow kicks out. Booker got in the ref's face and blocked his view of everything. Queen Sharmell got into the ring and kicked Rey in the lower region. Rey hunched over and then she hit him with the King's scepter, in the back. Rey continued to hunch over. Booker focused his attention on Rey and hit a Scissors Kick! 1-2-3!
Justin Roberts: "Here is your winner and the new ECW Television champion...King Booker!"
Booker's music hit and The Queen got back into the ring, to celebrate with her king. Justin handed the King his championship and he held it over his head. Booker and Sharmell left the ring, leaving Rey knocked out.
Tazz: "That's a damn travesty. How in the world did The King and Queen screw Rey? Rey wasn't even 100 to begin with!"
Joey Styles: "Well, up next we have Raw's giants facing off as the Great Khali faces Big Daddy V."
Backstage, The King and Queen were shown celebrating. Booker shot open a bottle of champagne and guzzled it. The celebration was cut abrupt as Goldberg walked up to them and put his hand on the title.
King Booker: "What is this, swine?"
Goldberg: "I'm just giving you your two day notice. Tuesday, that title belongs to me."
The Queen shook her head in disbelief as Goldberg walked away.
King Booker: "That peasant won't get away with that. I'll give him a royal ass kicking on ECW this Tuesday."
Goldberg wasn't out of earshot and he turned around and faced Booker. Booker kept rambling about Goldberg and ECW when Goldberg ran and gave him a spear! Queen Sharmell screamed and Goldberg grabbed her. He set the Queen up for a Jackhammer.
Tazz: "No! Don't do this!"
Goldberg gave Queen Sharmell a Jackhammer on Booker's body!
Goldberg: "I'll see you Tuesday Night."
Joey Styles: "OH MY GOD! Sharmell! The Queen!"
Goldberg walked away and the cameras panned to the fans. The Titan Tron showed the Great Khali and Big Daddy V, up next.
Lillian Garcia: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring, he stands at over 7 feet tall and weighs in at 420 pounds, he is the Great...Khali!"
The Great Khali's music hit and the Punjab warrior appeared at the ramp. He roared and got in the ring, over the top rope.
Jim Ross: "The Great Khali is unmatched in strength and size, especially on Raw. The only man able to beat him so far has been the Undertaker and John Cena. Can we add Big Daddy V to that list?"
Big V's music hit and the giant man, resembling the One Man Gang, came down to the ring. He walked up the steel steps and got in. The bell rang and Khali gave V a big shove. V shrugged it off and shoved Khali, pushing him further then he was pushed. Khali roared and kicked V in the chest. V didn't fall. He barely even budged.
Jerry Lawler: "Ho, this is gonna be bad! These two have no love loss between them. Im surprised their even in the same ring without complete annihilation by now."
Khali grabbed V and pushed him into the corner and locked both hands around his throat, choking him. The fans went nuts as the ref started his five count. He got to a count of 5 and Khali had refused to break the hold. The ref rang the bell, signifying the disqualification of the Great Khali.
Lillian Garcia: "And the winner of the match, by disqualification...Big Daddy...V!"
Khali still had his massive hands locked around V's throat. In a massive show of strength, Khali threw V across the ring. The fans went nuts as V rolled out of the ring with a sickening thud. Khali raised his arms and roared.
Jim Ross: "While Khali lost the match, he definitely proved that he was the bigger, larger, stronger man."
Khali's music hit and the giant got out of the ring. He walked backstage and his translator caught up to him, just as Josh Matthews approached Khali.
Josh Matthews: "Khali, how did your match go."
Khali mumbled in his native language before his translator stepped in.
Great Khali(translator): "The Great Khali says that this Monday night, he will challenge the World Heavyweight Champion, to face him in the ring and what he did to Big Daddy V will be nothing compared to the suffering the champion will go through."
Khali and his translator walked away and the Titan Tron lit up with Batista's face followed by Kevin Nash's.
Tazz: "Well, we will soon find out who leaves ECW, Styles. Earlier this month, Batista beat Kevin Nash in 5 minutes, but that just wasn't enough to keep Batista in the ECW championship run, but now, he's awarded a shot at Intercontinental gold, and a shot to go to Raw, to seek redemption on the Undertaker, the man that defeated him at WrestleMania. Kevin Nash, however, has said that if he losses its no big deal because at the next PPV, Vengeance, he will challenge both John Cena and Psycho Sid for a Extreme Rules bout for the ECW Championship."
Joey Styles: "Well, anyways, this match is Extreme Rules, seeing as it is held by ECW, who has all Extreme Rules matches. Everything from the Intercontinental Championship to the kitchen sink is legal. And Tazz, there IS a kitchen sink under the ring."
"I Walk Alone" by Saliva hit and the Animal, Batista, came out to the ramp. He stopped halfway and threw his arms around, and the fireworks went off. Batista ran down the ring and got in. The nWo's music hit and the nWo, who are currently ruling from brand to brand to brand, came down the ring. Batista's eyes grew big.
Justin Roberts: "And his opponent..being accompanied to the ring by Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall, he is the Intercontinental Champion...Kevin Nash!"
Nash got in the ring and the bell rang. Batista looked around all the way around the ring. Hogan and Hall were stationed far away from each other, but close enough to make Batista feel cornered. Nash lunged at Batista but Batista gave him a huge back body drop. Nash hit the ropes and bounced to the outside. Hall checked on his best friend, and Hogan rolled into the ring, with a steel chair. Batista turned around and whack Hogan hit him in the face. The ref turned around, but there was nothing he could do. Hogan raised the chair over his head, but Batista kicked him in the gut. Hogan dropped the chair and Batista stood up.
Joey Styles: "Batista looking to hit a spear here. Hogan...Hogan...YES! Batista hits the spear!"
Hogan rolled out of the ring, holding his stomach. Nash got back into the ring, with a bat, given to him by Hall. Batista stood up, and the lights went out.
Tazz: "Could this be the World Heavyweight Champion? Is the Undertaker coming?"
The lights turned back on and a man was standing in the ring.
Joey Styles: "OH MY GOD! It's STING! Sting is back!"
Sting, who hasn't been seen since the TNA title loss. Sting punched Nash and then kicked him in the gut. He picked up the bat that Nash dropped and hit him in the back with it. Nash held his back and fell to the ground. Hall ran in and Sting hit him in the stomach with the bat. Hall backed into the corner and Sting ran in and hit the Stinger Splash! Hall rolled out of the ring and the ref was going nuts. Sting got out of the ring and pointed at Hogan. Hogan, who was crawling to the back, stepped it up a notch, going very fast. Sting grabbed him by the foot, and dragged him to him. Sting locked in the Scorpion Deathlock and Hogan started tapping out.
Batista got to his feet, in the middle of the ring. He picked up Nash, who was laying out, and put him between his legs. The fans went nuts as Batista put thumbs up, then thumbs down. He lifted Nash into the air and thenslam Batista hit the Batista Bomb! 1-2-3!
Tazz: "The Animal does it, with a huge assist from Sting!"
Justin Roberts: "Here is your winner and the new Intercontinental Champion, Batista!"
Batista held his Intercontinental Championship up.
Joey Styles: "We have lost Batista to Raw. It's a sad day. Wait a minute, Hogan just forced Sting off!"
On the ramp, Hogan kicked Sting off of him. Hall had gotten to his feet and then Hogan and Hall got into the ring. Sting was on his way down. Batista turned around into Hogan and Hall. Sting got in the ring after them. Hogan and Sting went face to face. Batista tried to force them apart but Sting hit the Intercontinental Champion, with an elbow to the face. Hall started stomping on him and Hogan slid out of the ring. Sting picked up his bat, and brandished at Hall. Hall looked scared and Sting raised the bat over his head...and brought it down over Batista's back.
Tazz: "What is going on?"
Hogan rolled back into the ring, with spraypaint. He shook it and then handed it to Sting. Hogan backed off against the ropes and then hit a Leg Drop, on the prone Intercontinental Champion. Sting opened the spraypaint and write "nWo" on Batista's back with red spraypaint. He then picked up Batista's Intercontinental Championship and wrote "nWo" on that in red spraypaint. The nWo's music hit and the four of them left the ring, Sting and Hogan supporting Nash. Big Show and X-Pac joined the nWo at the ramp and the six of them did the Wolfpack sign and walked backstage.
Michael Cole: "What we just saw has sickened me. Batista is being helped to the back after a heinous attack from the nWo's newest member: Sting. Up next, we have the US championship being defended as MVP takes on the People's Champion..the Rock."
"I'm Comin'" hit the speakers and MVP came down to the ring.
Tony Chimel: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the United States Championship. Making his way to the ring, Montel Vontavious Porter, M..V..P!"
MVP got in the ring. Theodore Long's music hit and Smackdown's GM came down to the ring. He got a mic.
Theodore Long: "What's up playa? We made a little amendment to the United States Championship match. Tonight, you will not face the Rock. Smackdown and Raw have come to the agreement to trade the Rock, for your opponent tonight. And that man is..."
"Kennedy!" was heard throughout the arena and Ken Kennedy came down to the ring.
Tony Chimel: "And his opponent...from Green Bay, Wisconsin he is Smackdown's newest addition...Mr. Kennedy!"
Kennedy got in the ring and got in MVP's face. Kennedy raised his hand into the air and a microphone came down.
Mr. Kennedy: "Ladies and gentlemen...I am Smackdown's future. I am Smackdown's present. I am the future United States Champion. I am...MISTERRRRRR KENNEDYYYYY! -pause- KENNEDY!"
Ding, Ding, Ding. The bell rang and Kennedy and MVP squared off. The former best friends got in each other's faces. Kennedy shoved MVP and MVP kneed him in the gut and gave him a spinning neckbreaker. Kennedy covered but MVP kicked out.
Michael Cole: "One of these men will be the future United States champion. The newest addition and the loudmouth, Mr. Kennedy, or MVP."
Kennedy picked up MVP and backed him into the corner. MVP wasn't expecting a faster man to compete against and was caught completely caught off-guard. Kennedy kneed him in the gut again and put him on the top rope. Kennedy got back up and put MVP on his shoulders. He jumped off and hit the Green Bay Plunge! 1-2-3!
The fans were in complete shock as the ref held up Kennedy's hand.
Tony Chimel: "Here is your winner and the new United States Champion...MR. KENNEDY!"
Kennedy was handed his United States championship and he held it into the air. The ref held up his hand and MVP got to his feet. MVP turned around and Kennedy blasted him with the Championship! The fans booed and Kennedy got out of the ring. Kennedy walked backstage and the Titan-Tron showed Dusty Rhodes and Shawn Michaels.
Shawn Michaels' music hit and the former WWE Champion came down to the ring. He got in and Dusty's music hit. He came out to the ramp, wearing dress clothes. He had a mic. HBK looked bewildered.
Dusty Rhodes: "Shawn. Shawn, I know you were expecting to face me here tonight but my doctor said I can't wrestle because of health issues. So I thought it'd be perfect time for my son to make his debut tonight, to face you. That is if you don't mind."
Lillian handed HBK a mic.
Shawn Michaels: "No, I don't mind. I just wish I could give the fans what they payed to see. The Heartbreak Kid vs. the American Dream."
The fans cheered wildly as HBK lowered his mic. Unfamiliar music was heard and a young kid, came out. Cody Rhodes came down to the ring and got in. He asked HBK for the mic and HBK handed it to him.
Cody Rhodes: "Shawn, it's an honor. I'd just like to tell you that I was trained not only by my dad, but by someone very familiar to you. And at Vengence: Night of Dreams, that man has challenged you to a match."
HBK mouthed the words, "who?" but Cody shook his head.
Cody Rhodes: "I can't say who it is, but you'll find out tomorrow night."
Jim Ross: "Well, Vengence: Night of Dreams is a special Pay-Per-View. The matches for each title, will be held according to who the fans want to see face them. It's a Night of Champions, per say. The only match without a championship will be the HBK/ mystery man match."
Jerry Lawler: "You can't help but wonder. Who can it be? Who would challenge Shawn Michaels to a match?"
Lillian Garcia: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall. In the ring, from San Antonio, Texas...Shawn Michaels!"
Lillian Garcia: "And his opponent, also in the ring, Cody..Rhodes."
Cody and HBK shook hands and the bell rang. HBK grabbed Rhodes and gave him a hip toss. Rhodes got back to his feet and HBK gave him a headlock. Rhodes struggled to get out and HBK gave him a bulldog. HBK waited for Rhodes to get up and he put him in the corner. He backed up and then gave him a hard chop across the chest. Rhodes looked hurt at the mean streak of HBK. HBK chopped him again and then slapped him across the face. Rhodes slapped him back and HBK gave him a Spike DDT! HBK covered for the near fall. HBK picked Rhodes up and gave him a scoop slam.
Jerry Lawler: "HBK showing previously unseen ferocity. It's sad, really."
Jim Ross: "It's not ferocity. HBK is testing young Cody, to see if he has what it takes. HBK cares about the younger superstars. Not to mention, I think he's showing whoever his Vengeance opponent is, that he means business and he's showing Dusty, what he's made of."
HBK picked up Cody and gave him another scoop slam. He went to the top and came off with an elbow drop. HBK covered but Cody kicked out, somehow. HBK went to the corner and started tuning up the band. Cody used the ropes to pull himself up. Cody went to turn around but the American Dream spoke up from the ramp.
Dusty Rhodes: "No, Shawn! We know you can beat him. Stop."
HBK stared at the American Dream and shook his head. HBK went to say something but Cody rolled him up! The ref got down. 1..2..3!
Lillian Garcia: "Here is your winner...Cody Rhodes!"
Cody rolled out of the ring as HBK got up. He looked utterly shocked. Even Dusty looked shocked. JR and King were going nuts. Dusty held up Cody's arm as HBK flipped.
Jim Ross: "CODY RHODES JUST WON HIS DEBUT MATCH...AGAINST SHAWN MICHAELS! THIS IS A MILESTONE!"
Jerry Lawler: "You've got to give it to both Dusty and Cody. Dusty tried to help Cody, and Cody took advantage of the distracted HBK for the three count!"
HBK eventually went backstage and it was time for the ECW Championship match.
A video package aired: The ECW Championship (the ECW Championship was shown) held by one (John Cena was shown) and coveted by another (Psycho Sid was shown). After decimation at the hands of King Booker and Psycho Sid, can the ever so resilent Champion overcome the odds? Or will it prove to be too much for the ECW Champion, inside of Extreme Rules?
Psycho Sid's music hit and the number one contender came out to the ring.
Justin Roberts: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the ECW Championship. Introducing first, he is the number one contender...PSYCHO...SID!"
Sid got on the apron, and got in the ring, over the top rope. The music stopped and John Cena's music hit.
Justin Roberts: "And his opponent...he is the ECW Champion...JOHN...CENA!"
Cena walked down to the ring. He held his championship out and looked down at it, perhaps in a last goodbye. He slid into the ring and handed the belt to the ref. The bell rang. Cena slid out of the ring and Sid stared at him. Cena turned and took a chair from ringside and went to slid in but Sid blocked his entrance. He got onto the apron and Sid swung, but Cena ducked and got in the ring. Sid turned around and Cena hit him with the chair, in the legs. Sid went down and he rolled out of the ring, holding his previously broken leg. He got back on the apron and Cena went to hit him but Sid punched the chair, much to the shock of the ECW champion.
The chair flew out of Cena's hand and landed in the corner. Cena made a run for the chair, but Sid grabbed his shorts and dragged him into a bearhug. Cena put his feet onto the turnbuckle and jumped backwards, causing his weight to fall onto Sid. Sid let go and pushed him off. Sid grabbed Cena and set him up for a Powerbomb. Cena writhed free and put Sid on his shoulders.
Joey Styles: "Can Cena do it? Yes, Sid up on Cena's shoulders...F-U! OH MY GOD, THE ECW CHAMPION HAS JUST DEFEATED PSYCHO SID!"
Cena hooked the leg! 1...Kickout! Cena looked mortified. Cena picked Sid up and gave him a bulldog, taking Sid down again. Cena pumped up his shoes and ran against the ropes. He came to a stop, then brushed off his shoulder and hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena hooks the leg again. 1...2...Kickout. Cena held his head in despair and picked up the chair. He set it up in the middle of the ring. The fans got quiet as Cena lifted Sid onto his shoulders, in an attempt to give him a F-U on the chair.
Sid elbowed him in the jaw and then kicked him in the gut and set him between his legs.
Tazz: "This is gonna be bad...he has Cena in the air! NO! Powerbomb on the chair!"
Cena's body contorted as his body slammed against the chair. Sid put a foot on his chest and the ref made the count. 1...2..3!
Justin Roberts: "Here is your winner and the NEW ECW Champion...PSYCHO...SID!"
Joey Styles: "A gallant effort from the ECW Champion but it just wasn't enough to ward off Psycho Sid, who is the new ECW Champion. The Psycho Era is upon us."
Sid held his ECW championship over his head and over the former Champion's body. Sid left the ring, and the broken Cena too. He walked backstage and then the promo aired for The Undertaker versus Vader for the World Heavyweight Championship.
"IT'S TIME! IT'S VADER TIME!" was heard throughout the arena as Big Van Vader came out to the ring.
Lillian Garcia: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Heavyweight Championship! Making his way to the ring, he is the number one contender...VADER!"
Vader got in the ring and awaited the World Heavyweight Champion. Gong. Vader looked around in fright and the lights faded to black. Gong. The funeral march started playing as the Undertaker appeared at the entrance way, holding his World Heavyweight Championship aloft.
Lillian Garcia: "And his opponent; making his way to the ring, weighing in at 305 pounds, from Death Valley...he is the World Heavyweight Champion...THE...UNDER..TAKER!"
The Undertaker slowly made his way to the ring. The camera showed Vader, who looked scared. The Undertaker walked up the steel steps and raised his arms. The lights turned back on and thunder rumbled. He took off his hat and rolled his eyes. He got into the ring and Vader attacked him. Taker fell to his knees and Vader repeatedly punched him in the face. Taker pushed Vader away and then took of his jacket and raised his fists. Vader charged him but Taker hit him in the face with hard fists. Vader backed against the ropes and Taker gave him a clothesline, almost taking the big man over the top rope but the rope was in danger of snapping.
Taker grabbed Vader and went to give him an Irish whip, but Vader reversed it and Taker came back in and Vader hit a scrapbuster slam, recently seen by Big Daddy V, on Heat. Vader covered the champion, but the Undertaker kicked out at two. Vader picked up Big Evil and placed him into the corner. He kicked him once and then turned around and backed into him, squashing him. Vader backed up and ran against the ropes, in hopes of further squashing the Undertaker but Taker moved and Vader hit the turnbuckle. Vader turned around and Taker grabbed his arm and wrenched it. Taker put his arm behind Vader's back and elbowed his shoulder. Taker went to the top rope. He walked across the top rope and jumped off, with a large arm on Vader's shoulders, causing the giant to collapse, with Old School. Taker covered but Vader quickly pushed him away.
Taker dragged Vader to his feet by the mask and kneed him in the gut. Vader went down to his knees, and the Undertaker still had a firm grasp on Vader's mask. The mask in his left hand, he had free shots at Vader's face with the right one. He punched Vader several times with all his force in the face. Taker ran in and went to hit a boot, but Vader got to one knee and gave him a Back Body Drop. Vader ran in and splashed the Deadman! 1-2-Kick out.
Vader sat on the ring as Taker lay out cold. Vader went to get to his feet, but Taker sat up, suddenly! He looked around for Vader, but the Deadman's hand found it's target before his head did. Taker turned and looked at Vader, who had Taker's massive hand around his even more massive throat. Taker got to his feet, dragging the number one contender. Taker lifted Vader into the air and gave him a chokeslam! Taker fell over with fatigue and both men were out! The ref started a count.

The fans got to their feet as Vader slammed the Deadman to the canvas! Vader fell backwards and both men were out and the ref started another count.

The ref rang the bell at 10, signifying a no contest and thus, the Undertaker retains the title.
Lillian Garcia: "Here is your winner and STILL the World Heavyweight Champion...the..Undertaker!"
The Deadman's music hit and the World Heavyweight Champion stirred. Vader appeared to be out of it but the Undertaker sat up! Taker pulled himself up, with help from the referee and the ropes. The ref held the Undertaker's hand up and the Deadman slowly got out of the ring, still in one piece. Taker held his arm up when he got to the ramp and the thunder rumbled once more. The ref helped Vader backstage as they showed a video package of the Elimination Chamber.
The devilish structure lowered and Theodore Long came down to the ring, to explain the rules.
Theodore Long: "Tonight's main event is for Randy Orton's WWE Championship and that match will be contested in a 6-Man Elimination Chamber. Many of you have seen an Elimination Chamber, many of you have not. The first four individuals to enter will be locked in these plexiglass chambers. After 5 minutes, a superstar will be released into the battle field. There can only be one man standing at the end of this match. And that man will be the WWE Champion. Let the match begin! Holla' holla' holla'!"
The bell rang and Triple H's music hit. The Game came out to the ring.
Tony Chimmel: "The following contest is scheduled for the WWE Championship. Making his way to the ring, from Greenwich, Connecticut...Triple...H!"
Triple H got in the ring and walked into one of the chambers. The door was shut and he was locked in. The Miz's music hit and Mike the Miz came out.
Tony Chimmel: "And his opponent...Mike..the Miz...Mizanin!"
The Miz was locked in the other chamber and then Orton's music hit.
Tony Chimmel: "And his opponent...he is the WWE Champion...Randy Orton!"
Randy Orton handed his WWE championship to the referee outside the ring and got in a plexiglass chamber. The final participant to be locked in the chamber came out.
Tony Chimmel: "And the final man to be locked into the chamber...RIC...FLAIR!"
Flair got in the ring and got in the chamber and the bell rang. Kane's music hit and the Big Red Machine got into the chamber, awaiting the Big Show. Big Show came down to the ring and the two giants of Smackdown faced off. The bell rang, again, and Kane and the Big Show got into each other's face. Show shoved Kane, in a show of dominance, but the Big Red Machine, never one to back down from a fight, shoved him right back. Kane grabbed Show and punched him into the corner. Kane stomped on him and then drove a knee into his stomach. Kane went to give Show an Irish whip, but Show reversed it. Kane hit the turnbuckle and came back and Show gave him a sidewalk slam. Kane writhed in pain and then Show covered but Kane kicked out, at a two count. Kane was grabbed and brought to his feet. Show wrapped a hand around Kane's throat, but Kane shoved him away and went outside the ring. Show followed him and Kane grabbed him and slammed him into the steel cage. He punched him in the stomach and face and then started choking him. Show pushed him away and then tackled him into the plexiglass chamber that was holding the Miz. The chamber broke and both men went crashing through it. The buzzer went off and lights came down on all four chambers. They flashed around and then finally landed on the Miz's chamber. The chamber opened up and Miz stepped out, both men still in there.
Miz pulled Show off of Kane's prone body and turned him around. He hooked the leg! 1...2..Show kicked out. Miz shook his head in disbelief and then covered him again. 1...2...Kickout! Miz looked shocked that Show kicked out twice and he pulled Kane out and pinned him. 1...2..Kickout! Miz looked like he'd seen a ghost. He got to his feet and then went down to cover Kane again, but Kane sat up. Miz ran into the ring and Kane slowly followed. He started to get into the ring, but the Miz gave him a dropkick to the side, knocking him out. Kane got back to his feet and the Big Show grabbed his foot. Kane reached down and picked Show back to his feet. Show pushed Kane back, over the top rope. Show got in after him, as Miz sat away from them in the corner. Show picked Kane up and gave him a chokeslam! Show went to cover but the Miz sprung to life and gave him a dropkick to the knee. Show was shocked and went down to one knee and Miz started punching him in the face, a couple of times. Show got fed up and pushed him away but Miz came back with a running DDT. Kane tried to get to his feet but Miz grabbed his head and gave him a Mizard of Oz! 1...2...3!
Michael Cole: "I can't believe...the Miz! He just eliminated Kane! Cleanly, too!"

Michael Cole: "He's finally done that! After winning the tournament, and having the right to face Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania, Triple H has been focused on the championship. While he lost at WrestleMania, Triple H is successful at Backlash. The era of the Game has begun!"
Backlash went off the air with confetti coming down from the rafters and Triple H holding his WWE Championship up.
Backlash Fallout from era of the Game and the Psycho Era have begun while the era of the Deadman continues.
Last night at Backlash, the three main brand titles were defended. First, John Cena took on challenger Psycho Sid, for the ECW Championship. It was a back and forth match, and it looked like Cena would F-U Sid onto a chair at one point but Sid reversed it into a Powerbomb through that very same chair, resulting in a new ECW Champion.
Next, the Undertaker successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Vader. Many thought the match should have been restarted, after Vader gave the Undertaker a Vader Bomb and neither man could answer the ten count.
Triple H reigned supreme in the Elimination Chamber. Kane and Big Show started. The Miz was released out of his chamber and he shocked many fans that doubted him by eliminating Kane. The WWE Champion, Randy Orton, was released next and he eliminated the Big Show. Flair was let out next, and eliminated next, by the Miz. Triple H was released last. Chaos ensued and Orton eventually scored a pinfall over the Miz. Triple H utilized a sledgehammer that somehow, he brought into the match and then hit the Pedigree and we now have a new WWE Champion.
