Chapter Forty Seven: The Final Partner
---x---
Right, the stupid, pointless Batista/Undertaker squash didn't happen. The Highlanders fought in Cade and Murdoch's place, I saw no need in having Cade and Murdoch get squashed. Also, there was no Snitsky promo, he's going to be in an actual match instead. Also anywhere on the real Raw you saw the name Great Khali replace it with Big Daddy V, and where you see Runjin Singh replace it with Matt Striker. As for the Lumberjack match, anything Big Daddy V or Kane do, replace it with Balls Mahoney and the Miz (all they did was stand around and attack each other on the outside when the match was over).
---x---
Raw was live from Topeka Kansas, and right off the bat it had been an explosive Raw. The Undertaker and Batista had appeared to start off the show and completely destroyed the HIGHLANDERS in a tag team match. Raw came back from a commercial and WWE Women's Champion Beth Phoenix's theme music hit. The Glamazon got in the ring and awaited her opponent. She was answered by Maria's theme music hitting. Maria came out from the back accompanied by Machetti. Machetti held Maria's hand as he led her down to the ring, then gave her a hug before she got in the ring.
The referee called or the bell and the match was underway. The two divas locked up, but Beth overpowered Maria and slammed her face-first down to the mat. Maria rolled away from the Women's Champion and pulled herself up to her feet in the corner. Beth charged at Maria, but Maria moved, causing Phoenix to run full speed into the turnbuckle. Beth turned around against the corner and Maria raised her leg and drove it into Beth's throat in an attempt to choke her in the corner.
The referee was going to tell Maria off for choking her opponent, but he didn't need to. Beth reached up and grabbed Maria's leg, then pushed it downwards, causing Maria to slam down to the mat and do a split. Beth rushed at Maria looking to kick her in the side, but Machetti quickly reached in the ring and slid Maria out under the bottom rope before Beth could get her.
The referee yelled at Machetti while he allowed Maria to steady herself on him. Beth stood back and glared at Maria, who eventually let go of Machetti, climbed back onto the ring apron and got in the ring. Phoenix charged at Maria looking for a clothesline, but Maria moved out of the way, causing Beth to run passed her, then Maria spun around and kicked Beth in the back of the leg, then quickly followed up by doing it again.
Beth dropped down to one knee and Maria nailed her with a bulldog from behind then went for a cover, ONE… T…Beth powered out of the pin by pushed Maria up and off of her. Maria landed hard on the other side of the ring, but quickly rolled herself over to the ropes and pulled herself back up to her feet. On the other side of the ring, Beth was back up too.
While Beth got her bearings and made her way over to Maria, Maria climbed up onto the middle rope, then lunched across the ring and caught Phoenix with a Springboard Crossbody, then went for a pin, ONE… TWO… Beth pushed Maria off of her. Maria rolled away from the champion and got back up to her feet, while Beth was getting back up, Maria hit her with a dropkick to the face, knocking Beth back down. Maria got back up to her feet, ran to the ropes, bounced off, then jumped up into the air and came down with all her weight for a running splash. Maria made another cover, ONE… TWO… TH… Beth kicked out again.
Maria got back up and looked over at Machetti wondering what to do. "Stay on her!" Machetti shouted. Maria nodded, then turned back to Phoenix and went to pull her up to her feet. But suddenly Beth grabbed Maria's legs and stood up straight, lifting Maria up onto her shoulders. But Maria started wiggling and freed herself, then came down and caught Beth with a victory roll pin, the referee came over and started counting, and while he was paying attention to Beth's shoulders, Machetti reached into the ring and grabbed one of Beth's legs and pulled on it, giving Maria some added leverage, ONE… TWO… THREE! MARIA SCORES THE UPSET! As soon as Maria's music hit, Machetti got in the ring, grabbed her, then got out.
Maria was elated, she didn't know that Machetti had cheated to help her win, but Beth look furious. She glared at Machetti and Maria from the ring as they backed up the ramp and headed towards the back. But suddenly Maria's music cut, and Santino's music hit. The Irritating Italian came out from the back and headed down to the ring, then got in, making sure not to go anywhere near the Women's Champion. "Congratulations Maria," said Santino, even though he didn't mean it, "but now, I need to say something important!"
On the ramp, Machetti noticeably rolled his eyes, then escorted Maria through the curtain and to the back. Beth eventually followed after them. Santino was left alone in the ring and ended up picking a fight with JR. But King came to JR's aid and stood up on behalf of his broadcast partner. Santino stupidly offered Lawler a free punch, not knowing that punching was what made Jerry famous. King ended up decking Santino, and he went to the back fuming.
---x---
They had just shown a clip of William Regal training Hornswoggle for his match against Big Daddy V at Survivor Series. But then the music of Cade and Murdoch hit and the World Tag Team Champions came down to the ring. The Redneck Wrecking Crew got in the ring and Cade quickly got a mic. "Hey Machetti, get your ass down here we've got a match!"
Murdoch took the mic from Cade, "That's right Machetti," said Murdoch, "Me, Cade, Snitsky, and the Great Khali, are going to face you, London, Kendrick, and your fifth partner, right here right now!"
"Hold on Murdoch," interrupted Cade as he took the mic from his partner, "there's just one problem with that. Machetti doesn't have a FIFTH guy on his team!"
"But we do!" pointed out Murdoch, as he took the mic, and as if on cue, the Great Khali's theme music hit. The Punjabi Giant came out from the back, accompanied as usual by Runjin Singh. But also Snitsky. Khali and Snitsky got in the ring and stood behind Cade and Murdoch in the ring.
"Well Machetti we don't have all day!" Cade called out, after taking the mic from Murdoch.
Riot Time hit and Machetti, London, Kendrick, and Maria came out from the back to a loud pop from the crowd. "Hey guys…" said Machetti into the mic he brought out with him, while heading down the ramp with Paul and Brian, "I hate to rain on your parade. But as of tonight… we do have a fifth partner. He's a Smackdown superstar, but luckily we thought ahead and had him come down to the show incase you tried to pull something like this. You guys wanted an eight man tag match? You're on! Now let us introduce the final member of team Chaos!!"
At that a loud blast of red pyro went off and Slow Chemical by Fingers Eleven hit. The Big Red Machine, Kane, came out from the back. Smirks appeared on the face of Machetti, London, and Kendrick, but Maria noticeably jumped and grabbed onto Machetti when Kane' pyro hit. Kane headed down the ramp and came to a stop behind Chaos Inc. Machetti turned around and reached his hand out for Kane. Kane stared at it for a moment, then reached out and shook it. Kane grinned then he and Machetti turned their attention back to the four men in the ring.
As one, London, Kendrick, and Machetti sprinted the rest of the way down the ramp and slid under the bottom rope and into the ring. Kane followed after them but was noticeably slower, but none-the-less, he managed to make it over the top rope and into the ring quickly as well. Maria walked around the ring and stood on the opposite side from Runjin Singh. Since Khali's team had a manager, Machetti had thought it would be a good idea to have a manager in their corner too, thus why Maria had come out with them.
The referee reluctantly stood in between the two teams, keeping them from coming to blows. The referee ordered the two teams into their respective corners, and told them only one person could fight at a time. In one corner Machetti, London, and Kendrick were about to do rock-paper-scissors, but then they noticed that Cade and Murdoch had sent in Khali. The Chaos Inc members dropped their hands and looked at Kane expectantly. Kane smirked then left the corner and walked into the middle of the ring, leaving London, Kendrick, and Machetti to get onto the corner. Machetti took the opportunity to climb up and sit on top of the turnbuckle then he looked across the ring and caught Cade's eye, then did a crotch chop, pretty much telling Cade to s-ck it.
Machetti got back down off of the turnbuckle while Cade freaked out. The referee called for the bell as the two monsters approached the middle of the ring. Kane stood right in front of Khali and showed no signs of being intimidated. Khali let out a roar, then swung at Kane for a big punch. Kane ducked it then teed off of Khali with a big uppercut, then followed up by nailing a series of hard punches to the face, causing Khali to stagger backwards and into an empty corner. Kane took a few steps back, then rushed at Khali and hit him with a clothesline into the corner, then he stepped away from Khali and did it again.
Kane stepped back and allowed Khali to stagger forward out of the corner, but the Big Red Monster nailed the Punjabi Giant with a huge uppercut, sending Khali staggering back into the corner, where he eventually slumped down onto the floor. Kane turned away from Khali and walked across the ring into opposite corner, then ran across the ring and drove his knee into Khali's face when he reached him. Khali's head smacked against the ring post from the impact. Kane pulled Khali out of the corner and made the first pin attempt in the match up, ONE… TW… but Khali kicked out. Kane got up as did Khali after a little help from the ropes.
Kane stood back in the middle of the ring and motioned for Khali to 'come get some' but Khali didn't seem to want to at the moment, and went to his corner and tagged in Snitsky. Snitsky came in and charged right at Kane, but Kane caught Snitsky as he charged at him, then planted him with a vicious sidewalk slam. Kane went for a pin, ONE… TWO… TH… Snitsky kicked out. "Hey big guy!" called Machetti from the corner as he reached his arm into the ring, "can I have a turn with him?"
Kane got up off of Snitsky and shrugged then made his way over to Machetti and tagged him in. Machetti got in the ring and stood next to Kane while they watched Snitsky get to his feet. Machetti lightly elbowed Kane in the side to get his attention, then motioned to the Big Red Monster to pick him up. Kane stared at Machetti for a moment, then lifted him up above his head with a military press. While up in the air Machetti shouting "Throw me!" down to Kane, once Snitsky was on his feet. Kane smirked then tossed Machetti at Snitsky as he turned around, allowing Machetti to catch him with a flying crossbody. Kane got out of the ring and Machetti went for a pin, ONE… TWO… THR… Snitsky kicked out.
Machetti rolled off of Snitsky and got to his feet, then ran to the ropes, jumped onto the middle one, and came off with a Springboard Moonsault, another cover, ONE… TWO… TH…Snitsky kicked out. Machetti got up quickly while Snitsky fought up to his feet. Machetti lashed out his leg for a side kick, but Snitsky caught it, but Machetti countered by turning it into an Enzuigiri. Causing Snitsky to stumble forward and drop down to his knees. Machetti ran to the ropes, then came off and hit a dropkick to the face, causing Snitsky to fall onto his back. Machetti got back up took a few steps away, then came back with a Running Shooting Star Press, then made a cover, ONE… TWO… T… Snitsky kicked out.
Machetti got up off of Snitsky and shook his head, then he went to his team's corner and tagged in Kendrick. Machetti and Brian walked into the middle the ring, pulled Snitsky up, then whipped him into the ropes. When Snitsky came back they both took him down with a double dropkick. Machetti got up and slid out of the ring and allowed Brian to make the cover, ONE… TWO… Snitsky kicked out. At ringside Machetti turned to Maria and shook his head, then pulled himself up onto the ring apron and situated himself next to London.
In the ring, Kendrick got off of Snitsky and ran into the ropes, then came back jumped up into the air and came crashing down knees-first on top of Snitsky. Kendrick rolled off of Snitsky and pulled him up to his feet, then bent him over and pulled him into the corner. Brian reached behind him and tagged in Paul, who climbed up onto the top rope, then came off and drove his feet into Snitsky's back for a top rope stomp. Kendrick got out of the ring and stood next to Machetti, while Paul went for a pin, ONE… TWO… TH… Snitsky kicked out.
Paul got up and took a few steps back, then came back with a running shooting star press of his own, then went for a pin, ONE… TWO… THR… Snitsky powered out. As London got to his feet, and incensed look appeared on Snitsky's face. This wasn't how the match was supposed to go. He was supposed to be dominating and inflicting as much pain as humanly possible. But instead he was the one having pain inflicted on him.
Snitsky shot up to his feet at London rushed at him, then shot out his foot and caught Paul in the face with a big boot. Snitsky reached down and picked Paul up, then slammed him back down to the mat with a Scoop Slam. Snitsky pulled Paul back up then whipped him into the ropes. Snitsky bent over looking for a back body drop, but London jumped up into the air and drove his feet down into Snitsky's back for a mushroom stomp. Now both men were down. London and Snitsky crawled to their team's corners, Paul tagged in Kane, and Snitsky tagged in Murdoch.
Murdoch rushed across the ring and nailed Kane with a clothesline, but Kane stayed standing. Murdoch took a few steps back then tried again, but still to the same result. Kane grinned at Murdoch, who quickly ran across the ring and into the ropes, then came back hoping three times was the charm. But as Murdoch came back, Kane charged forward and caught him with a big boot. Kane got down on the ground and made a cover, ONE… TWO… TH… Murdoch managed to kick out.
Kane got up and pulled up Murdoch as well, then Kane grabbed Murdoch around the throat and tossed him into the corner. Murdoch hit the turnbuckle hard, but hit it even harder when Kane rushed in and nailed him with a clothesline. Kane grabbed Murdoch and turned him upside down, then turned around and slammed Murdoch down to the mat for a scoop slam. Kane then dropped an elbow and went for a pin, ONE… TWO… TH… Murdoch kicked out.
Kane dragged Murdoch over to the corner, then reached out and tagged in Machetti. Kane benched Murdoch up above his head while Machetti got down on one knee. Kane dropped Murdoch and let him fall onto Machetti's knee for a gutbuster. Kane then stepped over the top rope and got out of the ring, while Machetti made the cover, ONE… TWO… THR… Murdoch kicked out. Machetti got up then dragged Murdoch into the middle of the ring.
Machetti went to the ropes and climbed out onto the ring apron then hoisted himself up onto the top rope. But suddenly Cade and Snitsky (who were both on the same side of the ring that Machetti was on) shoved the top rope, causing Machetti to lose his footing then go crashing head-first down to the mat. The fans all booed while Maria screamed after seeing Machetti take that bump. Murdoch crawled over and draped his arm over Machetti, ONE… TWO… THR… Machetti kicked out.
Murdoch got back up, then walked over to the corner and tagged in Khali. Khali came in and walked over to Machetti, then pressed his foot down into Machetti's chest, and applied pressure, lifting himself up off of the mat. Machetti screamed in pain as Khali applied four hundred plus pounds of weight directly to his stomach. Khali stepped off of Machetti and watched while Machetti coughed and curled up into a fetal position. Khali walked over then fell downward and crushed Machetti with a four hundred pound elbow drop to the stomach. Khali kept his elbow on top of Machetti and went for the pin, ONE… TWO... Machetti got his shoulder up.
Khali sat Machetti up, then locked in the Vice Grip on Machetti's head. Machetti instantly started screaming as Khali applied pressure on his skull, threatening to crush it. Machetti reached out in front of him, but realized that the ropes were far away, he was stranded in the middle of the ring, he'd have to tap out, pass out, or escape. Seeing how he definitely wasn't going to do the first one, he needed to focus on not doing the second and figuring out a way to do the third, but that was proving to be very difficult due to the amount of pressure Khali was applying.
Machetti looked in front of him and saw that scared look on her face, from her perspective it looked like Machetti's head would get squished in a matter of minutes. Knowing she had to do something Maria started slapping the ring apron with her hands and cheered Machetti on,Machetti, Machetti! Paul and Brian saw what Maria was doing and started clapping for Machetti hoping to urge him to fight out of the Vice Grip. Slowly fans were joining in on the chant and it crew louder and louder until MACHETTI! MACHETTI'! echoed through the entire arena. Kane even started clapping alone with London and Kendrick.
Machetti heard the fans, Paul, Brian, Maria, and Kane cheering for him and knew he had to do something. He slowly lifted up his arms, then drove his elbows back into Khali's stomach, then did it over and over again until he managed to fight up to his feet. Khali knew he had to keep his hold on Machetti, Runjin was screaming something, and the fans were still cheering for Machetti. So Khali concentrated and applied even more pressure to his hands, looking to squish Machetti's head like a grape.
Machetti knew he wasn't going to power himself out of the Vice Grip, so he had to do something desperate. Machetti lifted his foot, then drove it down on top of Khali's, the hold on his skull visibly loosened. It might not have been entirely clean but desperate times call for desperate measure. Machetti thought fast and bit down on Khali's hand. The reached up and pulled the Punjabi Giant's hands off of him. Machetti ran forward into the ropes then came back and hit Khali with a dropkick to the knee, Khali went down and rolled over to his corner, while Machetti did the same.
Khali tagged in Cade, but two seconds later when Machetti tagged in Kane the fans nearly blew the roof off of the arena. Machetti rolled to the side and dropped down onto the floor next to Maria, who crouched down next to him and checked on him. Kane rushed in and took down Cade with a clothesline, then nailed him with a second clothesline when he got up, and then a third. Kane whipped Cade into the ropes, caught him on the way back and planted him with a sidewalk slam. Kane then went for a pin, ONE… TWO… THRE… Snitsky broke it up!
Snitsky pulled Kane up and dragged him over to the ropes, then pressed Kane's throat down onto the middle rope, effectively choking him. But then London and Kendrick ran in, each of them grabbed one of Snitsky's legs, then at the same time they lifted. Snitsky tumbled forward and crashed down to the floor. Paul and Brian then turned around and rushed at Khali who had pulled himself up on the apron. Kendrick hit a baseball slide right to the knee, while London hit a big dropkick to the chest, sending Khali crashing off of the apron and down to the floor.
Paul and Brian stood near the ropes and made sure Khali and Snitsky weren't getting back up. On the other side of the ring, Maria had pulled Machetti back up to his feet, and now he was leaning against the ring apron. Kane got off of the ropes and went to grab Cade, who suddenly hit him with a jawbreaker. Cade ran backwards and into the ropes, while Murdoch ran in and ran passed Kane to the ropes on the other side of the ring, they were going for the Sweet 'n' Sour!
But suddenly Machetti reached up and pulled down the top rope, causing Murdoch to topple over it and fall down to the floor. Cade came back looking for his clothesline, but Kane reached out and grabbed Cade by the throat, then lifted him and planted him with a thunderous chokeslam. Kane got down on top of Murdoch for a pin, but suddenly Machetti crawled under the top rope and got on top of Kane. London and Kendrick turned around and ran over, Paul got on top of Machetti, and Brian climbed on top of Paul. The referee shrugged then made the count, ONE… TWO… THREE! ITS OVER!
The four men slowly untangled themselves and got up to their feet and Kane's theme music hit. London and Kendrick pulled Machetti up to his feet, allowing Kane to get up off of Cade. Maria joined them in the ring and grabbed Machetti for a hug, while London and Kendrick slapped hands for a congratulatory high-five. Kane stood in the middle of the ring and raised his arms up above his head, then shot them down causing red pyro to explode out of all of the turnbuckles. Maria jumped and grabbed Machetti tightly, Kane's pyro scared her.
Cade had managed to roll out of the ring, and was helped up to his feet by Murdoch and Snitsky. Khali and Runjin came over and stood behind the other three and glared at the four men, and the diva in the ring. The two teams stared down until Raw went to a commercial break.
