Chapter Forty-Three: Attitude Lessons

---x---

Raw was live from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Vince McMahon had just granted Shawn Michaels his request for a rematch against Randy Orton at Survivor Series. Now the WWE Chairman was walking backstage, but then he came across all four members of Chaos Inc. Machetti was in the process of consoling Maria about losing the Halloween Costume Battle Royal.

"Look, if you had won Beth probably would have done what she had done to Kelly," Machetti pointed out, "I'm actually kind of glad you didn't win."

Maria's reply was cut off by Vince McMahon clearing his throat. "Um… hi Vince, what can I do for you?" asked Machetti as he, Maria, Paul, and Brian sheepishly smiled at the Chairman.

"You four have a lot of nerve stealing my limo last night!" snapped Vince, "Do you have any idea what I had to go through when I left the arena last night… well… do you!?"

"Probably the same I had to go through when dealing with our destroyed car," Brian commented quietly.

"SHUT UP!" snarled Vince, causing Paul, Brian, and even Maria to jump and take a few steps back, they weren't used to dealing with a the angry Chairman.

Vince was happy to see the effect he had on the other Chaos Inc members and promptly turned to Machetti, "Machetti, I'm through taking crap from you! Machetti, it's time you where taught a lesson! In tonight's Main Event you're going to team up with your little 'friend' Triple H, and you're going to be facing your Cyber Sunday opponents, Umaga and Snitsky… oh and you'll also be facing WWE Champion Randy Orton! It'll be a three-on-two handicap match! How do you like that!?"

"Not very much," commented Machetti, "but we both know what happened the last time you booked me in a handicap match, I won."

An evil smile appeared on Vince McMahon's face as he glared at Machetti, "I can assure you that the same thing isn't going to be happening tonight! You're going to learn your place, and you're going to watch that little attitude of yours!"

"If you say so," replied Machetti with a small smirk, "Now if you excuse us, Paul here has a match against Lance Cade and we have to get him ready."

"You do that," said Vince, "I'm assuming you're going to be out there with them?"

"You're assuming correctly," answered Machetti, "now if you excuse us we must be off." With that Machetti walked off, and after a few seconds Paul, Brian, and Maria followed after him.

Vince glared after Machetti and muttered something that sounded like, "Cocky bastard," and with that Raw cut to the ring where Hardcore Holly's theme music hit.

Hornswoggle had just beaten Jonathan Coachman with a little help from the Special Guest Referee Mick Foley. The cameras then went backstage to showed Todd Grisham in the interview area.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time… the Game, Triple H!" The camera moved to the side to show The Game standing next to Todd. With that Grisham started his question, "Triple H, a few weeks ago, at the hands of Randy Orton and Umaga you took a savage beating… one of the worst we've ever seen. It could have been worse but your partner for tonight's main event ran in and helped you out. But then, last night at Cyber Sunday, yes you won, but again, you took an amazing pounding… um tonight you face off against Umaga, Snitsky, and Randy Orton in a two-on-three handicap match, and I've gotta say it… it doesn't look good for you."

"Geez Todd, thanks for the peep talk!" commented Triple H, "I really appreciate it. What would I do without you here, every week, to remind me of the… current tragedies going on in my life. I really appreciate it. Thank you."

"I know isn't this guy annoying?" asked Machetti as he walked on screen and glared at Todd, "at least with Maria you've got the gorgeous girl asking the questions. But with him…"

"It's just annoying," concluded Triple H before turning to back to Todd, "Look Todd, I have to admit on paper, maybe this doesn't seem to good. The odds aren't in our favor. But I've always been a gambling man, Todd. And I can guarantee you this, I've always got an Ace up my sleeve, and I'm sure by now my partner has some of his own. If we go down tonight… the I promise you this… the King of Kings and Machetti are going to take Randy Orton, Umaga, and Snitsky down with us. The three of them might be three of the biggest, three of the baddest, three of the meanest in this game. But remember this, Machetti might be able to hold his own, but I AM THE GAME!"

"And they wonder why we have such a limited roster," said Machetti with a smirk. Machetti turned to HHH and nodded, "Hunter, I'll see you later, I've got to go and help my friends get another win over the World Tag Team Champions."

"I'll see you later then," agreed Triple H with a nod, and with that Raw went to a commercial break.

---x---

Raw was back, and as soon as it had returned London and Kendrick's theme music hit and Paul, Brian, and Machetti came out from the back. "The following contest is scheduled for one-fall, introducing first, from Austin Texas, being accompanied by Brian Kendrick and Machetti… Paul London!" London, Kendrick and Machetti sprinted down to the ring, and then all of them slid under the bottom rope. London and Kendrick climbed up onto the middle rope in two separate corners, while Machetti climbed up onto the middle rope in between them, and at the same time all three did back-flips and landed in the middle of the ring.

The three Chaos Inc members stood in the ring and turned to face the entrance ramp as Cade and Murdoch's music hit. The World Tag Team Champions came out from the back and headed down to the ring, "And the opponent, being accompanied by Trevor Murdoch… Lance Cade!" Cade and Murdoch got into the ring and faced off of with the three Chaos Inc members that were already standing in it. The referee quickly got in the middle of the five superstars and order Machetti, Kendrick, and Murdoch to get out of the ring. Once the three non-competitors left, the referee called for the bell.

The two competitors circled the ring, then charged at each other, Cade went for a Lock Up, but London wasn't going to be doing that tonight, and instead slipped behind Cade and got him in a Wrist Lock. Paul pulled Cade closer to him and turned the Wrist Lock into a Side Headlock. Lance tried to counter, by lifting London up from behind for a Back Suplex, but London did a flip in mid air and landed on his feet.

Cade spun around and London quickly grabbed him for a Side Headlock, but Cade whipped him into the ropes. Paul came back and ducked Lance's Clothesline attempt, then ran to the ropes on the other side of the ring, came off and caught Cade with a Running Crossbody. London quickly went for a pin, ONE… T… but Cade managed to quickly kick out.

Lance and London got back up to their feet, and Paul wasted no time in getting the Side Headlock locked back in. But Cade used his superior strength and pushed London off of him and into the corner. London bouced off of the turnbuckle, and Cade quickly grabbed him, hoisted him up into the air, then slammed him down to the mat for a Back Drop. Cade quickly followed up by going for a pin, ONE… TWO…TH… but London managed to kick out.

Cade got up and pulled Paul up off of the mat, then bent him over and hit a hard shot right to the back. London staggered and fell down to his knees, but Lance came over and pulled London back up to his feet, but only knocked London back down to his knees again with another hard shot to the back. Cade was in complete control as he pulled his opponent up off of the mat.

But at ring side both Brian and Machetti were shouting words of encouragement to their friend, "Come on Paul!" "Make it happen, man!" Cade whipped London into the corner, then ran at him looking for a Clothesline, but London got his feet up, causing Lance to run right into them. Cade staggered backwards while Paul got out onto the ring apron, then shot himself up onto the top rope, then aunched himself over to Cade and took him down with a Springboard Crossbody. Brian and Machetti applauded at ringside while London went for a pin, ONE… TWO… THR… Cade kicked out.

London pulled Cade up to his feet and went to whip him across the ring, but Lance reversed it, and sent Paul into the ropes instead. London came off of the ropes but Cade launched him up into the air for a Back Body Drop, but Paul flipped in mid air and landed on his feet. London got back up and rushed at Cade, as Lance turned around. Paul then grabbed Cade and hit him with an Inverted Atomic Drop. London then jumped up and sent Lance flying with a Hurricurana.

London walked over to the side of the ring that Machetti and Kendrick were standing at, Machetti nodded in approval, while Brian clapped for Paul. London turned around and rushed at Cade, but out of desperation Lance grabbed London and tossed him through the top and middle rope and out of the ring. Paul landed hard on the outside, while the referee restrained Cade and told him to stay in the ring.

Cade and the referee stood in the ring as London tried to get up off of the floor. But on the other side of the ring, Kendrick and Machetti noticed Murdoch edging over towards Paul. When the referee noticed Trevor and started yelling at him to stay away from London, Machetti elbowed Kendrick lightly in the side, then motioned across the ring. Brian nodded then got in the ring, ran across, jumped over the top rope, and took out Murdoch with a Suicide Plancha.

While both Kendrick and Murdoch were down, London climbed up off of the ground and up onto the ring apron, Lance came over and Paul quickly drove his shoulder into Cade's stomach, then flipped over the top rope and caught Cade with a Slingshot Sunset Flip, ONE… TWO… THR… Cade kicked out. Both London and Lance got back up to their feet and Paul hit a big Dropkick, knocking Cade down to the ground. Cade got back up and staggered into the corner, then Paul ran at him looking to capitalize.

But Lance caught London, then drove him down to the mat with a Sit Down Spinebuster. He went for the pin, but the referee was busy yelling at Kendrick and Murdoch, who had gotten back up to their feet and were now brawling at ringside. But while the referee was distracted, Machetti quickly got in the ring, grabbed onto Lance and pulled him up to his feet, then ran across the ring with him, jumped over the top rope, and came down on the other side, snapped Cade's neck across the top rope.

Machetti landed hard on the floor, while Cade was launched off of the ropes and landed on his back. London struggled up to his feet, then ran over, jumped up into the air, did a back-flip, and came crashing down on Cade for a Standing Shooting Star Press. The referee turned around and counted the pin, ONE… TWO… THREE! LONDON WINS IT! Brian Dropkicked Murdoch back into the steel steps then rolled under the bottom rope and got in the ring. Machetti soon joined him and together they helped London back up to his feet and off of Cade. Lance discretely rolled out of the ring and over to Murdoch.

The World Tag Team Champions started backing up the entrance ramp, while glaring daggers at Kendrick, London, and Machetti. But suddenly London and Kendrick's theme music cut, and the music of the Highlanders hit. Robbie and Rory headed down the entrance ramp and stopped next to Cade and Murdoch, they apparently still wanted their Tag Team Championship match.

With a nod, all four men rushed the ring and met Machetti, Paul, and Brian in the middle of it. The Tag Team Champions went after Machetti, while London and Kendrick took on Robbie and Rory, respectively. London was still tired from his match, so Robbie was able to connect, and take him down, with a Hard Headbutt. Robbie rushed over to Rory and Brian, then they quickly hit a Double Slingshot Suplex off of the ropes The Highlanders rolled Kendrick out of the ring, then went over to Paul and hit him with a Double Slingshot Suplex of his own. Robbie and Rory then easily rolled London out of the ring.

But while this was going on, Machetti had ducked a Double Clothesline from the Tag Team Champions, causing them to run into the ropes. Machetti then spun around and hit the Redneck Wrecking Crew with a Double Clothesline of his own, taking all three of them over the top rope. Cade and Murdoch hit the floor, but Machetti had grabbed onto the top rope, then 'Skinned the Cat', and got back into the ring. Machetti turned around and faced the Highlanders who had just dealt with London and Kendrick.

Robbie and Rory came after Machetti, but Machetti quickly grabbed them then hit the Highlanders with a 'Meeting of the Minds'. The Scotsman staggered backwards in a daze, both of them had rather hard skulls. This allowed Machetti to capitalize and take down both McAllister's with a Crossbody. Machetti rolled off of them and got up to his feet, but suddenly… UMAGA'S THEME MUSIC HIT!

Machetti turned to face the stage as the Samoan Bulldozer came out from the back. But he wasn't alone… Snitsky was with him! Both monsters made their way down the entrance ramp and towards the ring. But when they reached the bottom of the entrance ramp, Machetti ran forward, jumped up onto the top rope, then springboarded off of it and hit Umaga and Snitsky with a Springboard Crossbody. BUT THEY CAUGHT HIM IN MID AIR!

Umaga and Snitsky held Machetti up for a moment then slammed him down onto the thinly padded floor with a loud thud. The fans started booing as Snitsky and Umaga started working over Machetti by stomping all over him. The two monsters stood up, then walked away from Machetti and pulled up the thin pad from the floor, exposing the hard concrete underneath it. Umaga stood at the exposed floor, while Snitsky went back over to Machetti and dragged him up to his feet.

Snitsky whipped Machetti towards Umaga who, caught him, lifted him up onto his shoulders and slammed him down to the floor with a Samoan Drop. Machetti looked like he was already out cold, but the two monsters weren't done yet. Umaga pulled Machetti up off of the floor, then shoved him forward, just as Snitsky came rushing forward. Machetti was unable to defend himself, leaving Snitsky open to nail a vicious Big Boot right to the mouth.

Machetti hit the floor hard and started spitting up blood. But that only seemed to inspire the two monsters to inflict some more damage. Snitsky was still pissed off about losing to Machetti last night, and Umaga was upset about losing to Triple H, this was a way for them to vent their frustrations. Snitsky pulled Machetti's limp body up off of the floor, then Umaga rushed forward and hit Machetti with a Samoan Spike, again right to the mouth. Machetti hit the floor hard, blood was now dripping down out of Machetti's mouth.

Both Snitsky and Umaga pulled Machetti's unconscious body off of the floor, then Snitsky grabbed him and hoisted him up onto his shoulder… PUMP HANDLE SLAM ONTO THE EXPOSED FLOOR! Snitsky's theme music hit as both monsters stood tall over the fallen Machetti. The camera went through a variety of shots showing all over carnage that had just taken place, London, Kendrick, Cade, Murdoch, who were all laying around ringside, Robbie, Rory, who were still down in the ring and finally Machetti who was still bleeding from his mouth. With that Umaga and Snitsky headed to the back as Raw went to a commercial break.

---x---

Santino had done yet another segment where he had bashed Stone Cold, but Maria had come and informed Marella that the real Stone Cold Steve Austin was going to be at Raw next week. Machetti, London, and Kendrick were all sitting backstage, the three of them looked like they had gotten in a fight with a train… and had lost. Machetti was holding an ice pack wrapped in a paper towel, while London and Kendrick were nursing their backs.

"Dude, I don't think you should have pissed of Mr. McMahon," groaned Paul.

"Yeah, man, he was probably the one that sent Snitsky and Umaga down there," pointed out Brian. "We would have been able to handle Cade, Murdoch, and the Highlandes."

"Look, Vince is trying to break me," said Machetti as he moved the ice pack from his mouth, "and if he thinks that's going to stop me from competing tonight… as scheduled… he's got another thing coming!"

"You know, I was on my way over here to find out that exact thing," commented Triple H, as the camera zoomed out to show him standing near by. "Kid, are you sure you're up to fighting in that Handicap match later?"

"Yeah," answered Machetti, "If I wasn't, what would happen to you Old Man?"

"Watch it," snapped Triple H, "not that I need it, but I'm glad you have my back. If it was just me facing the three of them, I might have some trouble."

"If that's your way of thanking me, you're welcome," replied Machetti, "Look, I'm going to try to recover as much as I can, but I'll be out there later, I promise."

"That's what I wanted to hear," said HHH with a smirk, "I'll see you out there." With that the Game walked off. But as Triple H left, Maria ran over and knelt down in front of Machetti.

"I told Santino what you wanted me to tell him," reported Maria, "but how did you know Austin was going to be here next week? Santino didn't believe me."

"I had a reliable tip off," replied Machetti, "trust me, he'll be here, and hopefully the little prick will finally learn his lesson."

"Okay, now are you absolutely sure you'll be okay out there tonight?" asked Maria.

"Hunter is counting on me," said Machetti, "I'll be out there. I promised him."

"Look, just be careful," said Maria with a sigh. "I don't want you to get hurt."

"I'll be alright," promised Machetti, but then added quietly, "I hope," And with that the camera cut and showed the Diva Search Finalists.

Raw came back from a commercial and Randy Orton was standing in the ring. Then Umaga's theme music hit, the Samoan Bulldozer made his way down to the ring, then he and Randy were joined by Snitsky. It looked like a really menacing sight seeing WWE Champion Randy Orton standing in the ring, flanked by the two monsters.

Then Triple H's theme music hit the Game came out from the back and walked down the entrance ramp. HHH glared at the three men in the ring, but stopped short of getting in the ring. But then Riot Time hit. Machetti came out from the back and slowly headed down the ramp and stood beside Triple H. Machetti nodded to the Game, then the two of them walked forward and climbed up onto the ring apron.

HHH got in the ring, while Machetti got on the ring apron and stood near the corner. Across the ring, Orton and Snitsky had gotten out of the ring, leaving Umaga to start the match with Triple H. The referee called for the bell and the two competitors quickly rushed at each other and started trading hard right hands They went back and forth for a little, until Triple H started to get the advantage, and managed to string together three punches in a row, while backing Umaga up into the corner.

With Umaga in the corner, Triple H continued to work of Umaga, hoping to pulverize the Samoan's skull. But behind Triple H's back, Randy Orton got in the ring and rushed over, but the ring right into a Dropkick from Machetti which knocked him down to the ground. HHH kept teeing off on Umaga, but then Snitsky got in the ring and hit Machetti with a vicious Clothesline. There was so much impact that Machetti practically did a flip from the contact.

Snitsky kicked Machetti in the side and rolled him across the ring, while Orton got back up to his feet and hit Triple H from behind. The Game turned away from Umaga, only to have Orton level him with a hard right hand. Across the ring, Snitsky went to pulled Machetti up off of the mat, the internal injuries in Machetti's mouth had been re-opened from Snitsky's Clothesline, but Machetti suddenly dropped down to his ass and caught Snitsky with a Jawbreaker, then got back up to his feet and took Snitsky down with a Corkscrew Dropkick.

HHH had rolled out of the ring, in an attempt to catch his breath, then grabbed Orton's feet and tripped him on the bottom rope then dragged him out of the ring and whipped him into the barricade. Umaga got out of the corner and got out of the ring, in an attempt to go after Triple H, but the Game quickly went around the steps and slid into the ring, with the Samoan following behind him.

When Triple H got in the ring, he was on his hands and knees, Machetti used this to his advantage and ran forward, jumped onto Triple H's back, then launched himself across the ring up onto the top rope, then springboarded off of it and took out Orton on the outside with a Springboard Plancha.

Meanwhile Umaga was just getting in the ring, but Triple H, shot up to his feet and caught Umaga while he was on the apron. Triple H hit a hard shot to the stomach, then dropped down and snapped Umaga's neck across the top rope, causing the Samoan Bulldozer to fall off of the apron and down to the floor. Triple H turned around and ducked down in time to dodge a charging Big Boot from Snitsky, then turned around and hit him with a Running Knee Lift. But it didn't take Snitsky down, he only staggered back into the ropes. But Triple H quickly charged forward then Clotheslined Snitsky over the top rope and down to the floor.

At the same time, Machetti had gotten to his feet, and pulled Orton up to, then rolled him back into the ring. Triple H quickly grabbed Orton and pulled him up to his feet, then hit a hard right hand to the face. Then hit Orton with another, while backing Orton up into the corner and then hit another two punches in the corner. While Orton was still groggy Triple H dropped down to his hands and knees, prompting Machetti to sprint into the corner, jump off of Triple H's back and hit Orton with a Crossbody into the turnbuckle.

Triple H then shoved Machetti, knocking him down to the mat, just as Umaga came charging over and hit Orton with a Big Body Splash into the corner. Umaga stumbled backwards a little shocked over what he had done, but Triple H quickly ran into the corner, bounced off of the ropes, then jumped up into the air and took Umaga down with a Flying Clothesline.

Machetti got up and rushed across the ring, then jumped up onto the shoulders of Snitsky, who had just gotten back into the ring, then took both of them over the top rope and down to the floor with a Hurricurana. Orton was getting back up but Triple H caught him with a knee to the stomach and then positioned him for the Pedigree, but Umaga came over, then grabbed Triple H and hit him with a Headbutt from behind. Triple H released Orton and fell to his knees, while Orton crawled over to the ropes and pulled himself back up to his feet.

Umaga went to go after Triple H, but Machetti pulled himself up onto the ring apron, then hoisted himself up onto the top rope, springboarded across the ring and took Umaga down with a Springboard Clothesline. But as Machetti was getting up Orton rushed over and hit Machetti in the jaw with a European Uppercut, then grabbed Machetti and followed up with a Neckbreaker.

Umaga staggered back up and went after Triple H in the corner and went off on the Game with some hard right hands to the face. Orton came over and got in some shots of his own. Triple H attempted a comeback but the assault from both Umaga and Orton overwhelmed him. Orton hit some hard shots to the back, knocking Triple H down to the mat. Triple H rolled across the ring and into the other corner, but when Orton came over, Machetti suddenly sprang up off of the mat, then grabbed Orton and sent him flying with a Monkey Flip.

Machetti got back up to his feet but was immediately cut off by Umaga who started delivering hard right hands to his face. Machetti came back by hitting some shots to the stomach, but then Snitsky came over and clubbed Machetti across the back. Snitsky grabbed Machetti and hoisted him up into the air over his head for a Military Press, while Umaga got down on one knee. Snitsky dropped Machetti causing him to land stomach first across Umaga's knee.

Machetti rolled off of Umaga and thrashed around the mat in pain, the blood was once again flowing out of his mouth. Umaga got back up to his feet, then screamed loudly and ran across the ring, bounced off of the ropes, then came back jumped up into the air and came crashing down on top of Machetti for a Running Body Splash, squishing Machetti underneath him.

In this time Orton had gotten back up and went after Triple H, who was attempting to recover in the corner. But Triple H quickly hit a surprise shot to Orton's face, then took him down with a second. Umaga came over to help, but HHH headed him off and gave a series of five right hands across the skull, slowly fighting his way out of the corner. Snitsky left Machetti and hit Triple H from behind. Then he grabbed HHH and whipped him into the ropes. Triple H bounced off of the ropes, but was caught by Umaga and slammed down to the mat with a Samoan Drop.

Umaga got back up to his feet, while Orton came over and stood by Snitsky, both Machetti and Triple H were down in the center of the ring. Snitsky turned back to Machetti then jumped up into the air and came crashing down across Machetti's throat for a Standing Leg Drop. Snitsky rolled out of the way, while Machetti started coughing up fresh splurts of blood.

Meanwhile, Orton was stomping on Triple H, then stepped to the side and allowed Umaga to run to the ropes, bounce off, then jump up and come crashing down on top of HHH for a Running Body Splash. Umaga moved out of the way and went over to Machetti, then stood over his head. Umaga yelled something in Samoan, then jumped up and dropped down on Machetti's upper chest for a Hip Drop.

Meanwhile Orton had been stomping all over Triple H, the Game tried rolling away from Orton and went to pull himself up with the ropes But Orton came after him and stated hitting hard right hands to Triple H's face. Across the ring, Umaga pulled Machetti up off of the mat, then turned him upside down and slammed him down to the mat for a Scoop Slam. Snitsky followed up by bouncing off of the ropes, then jumped up into the air, and came crashing down across Machetti's throat for a Running Leg Drop.

Snitsky then pulled Machetti up off of the mat, then whipped him across the ring into the corner opposite Triple H, then rushed at Machetti and drove his shoulder into Machetti's chest for a Running Shoulder Thrust. Across the ring, Umaga had joined Orton in the assault for Triple H in the corner. But suddenly, the fans started cheering and stood up in their seats.

RKO turned away from HHH just in time to meet HBK in the middle of the ring. Orton and Michaels traded hands while the referee called for the bell, ending the match by disqualification. Michaels ended up coming out on top in the ordeal, then grabbed Orton, tossed him over the top rope and down to the floor. Umaga left Triple H in the corner and turned to face Michaels, but HBK started attacking Umaga and went off on him with a series of hard right hands.

Michaels sent Umaga staggering, Triple H came out of the corner and nailed Umaga with a Low Blow. Then he and Michaels double teamed Umaga and hit a Double Clothesline taking the Samoan over the top rope and out of the ring. Meanwhile in the corner, Snitsky turned around and realized he was outnumbered now. Snitsky was about to rush and attack HHH and HBK, but he stopped when they pointed at something behind him.

Snitsky turned around as Machetti suddenly launched off of the top rope, did a back-flip, then caught Snitsky with a Shooting Star Press DDT. Michaels came over and pulled Machetti up to his feet, while Snitsky rolled out of the ring and down to the floor. Machetti was still bleeding but he was able to stand with a little help from the ropes. Triple H's theme hit and Hunter and Shawn took turned taunting Orton and Umaga who were still down at the base of the entrance ramp.

Triple H climbed up onto the middle rope in one of the corners and did the D-X Crotch Chop, while Michaels stood next to him and did the Cross Chop. Michaels and Helmsley then turned and looked at Machetti expectantly. Machetti slowly let go of the ropes he was holding on then did a Crotch Chop of his own. But while Triple H, Michaels, and Machetti celebrated the cameras cut backstage and showed Vince McMahon in the office with William Regal.

"I'm sorry this hasn't turned out the way you wanted it to has it?" Regal asked McMahon.

"You don't think so?" commented Vince, "Well let me just say to you Mr. Regal, that it always turns out just like I want to… when I want to. And um… this gives me an idea. How about this… right here, next week on Raw, the return… one night only… the return of D-X."

"That would be splendid, wouldn't it," replied Regal, "I mean… well… you've out done yourself there!" Regal suddenly quieted down at Vince glared at him. The camera then went back to the ring and showed Triple H and Shawn Michaels posing in the middle of the ring. Machetti was off to the side sitting on the top rope in the corner. Orton, and Umaga were standing again, and they stared down with D-X as Raw came to a close.

---x---

Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions, Machetti will NOT be joining D-X this time around. I have something else in mind for him and it will take him, London, and Kendrick all the way to Survivor Series… at least I hope.

'Till Next Time…

Peace!
