Chapter Seventy-Two: Chaos Implosion
---x---
(A/N: Last week I had to deal with Jeff Hardy's stuff, now I've gotta deal with Brian Kendrick. I actually won't mind a Kendrick heel turn, he's still a good wrestler and a London vs. Kendrick feud would kick ass. I've seen how innovative they can be as a team, it might be even cooler if they're opponents. They had some great matches back in ROH, so I guess that means I'll be watching a lot more HeAT. Now on with the chapter…)
---x---
Raw was live from Lafayette Louisiana. William Regal's theme music hit and the Raw General Manager came out from the back and walked out onto the stage. "Ladies and gentlemen as you know there will be a battle for brand supremacy at WrestleMania. Smackdown's representative will of course be Batista. Now let me introduce you to Raw's representative." Umaga's theme music hit and the Samoan Bulldozer came out from the back.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following handicap match is scheduled from one-fall. From the Isle of Samoa, weighing in at three hundred and fifty pounds, UMAGA!" Umaga marched down the ring with a purpose, his two opponents looked intimidated, "And in the ring, the World Tag Team Champions, Paul London and Brian Kendrick!"
Umaga got in the ring and bell was rung. London and Kendrick started off by trying to attack Umaga together. Umaga caught them both on his shoulders DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP! Umaga stood up and London and Kendrick looked like they were in car crash. Umaga separated the champions and beat London down so he was sitting on the mat in one corner, then he beat down Kendrick and had him sitting in the opposite corner. Umaga stood in front of Kendrick and let out a scream, and he ran across the ring… REAR END SPLASH TO LONDON! Umaga turned around and set his sights on Kendrick, but Kendrick was conscious enough to roll under the bottom rope and out of the ring.
Umaga stared after Kendrick who shook his head then started heading up the entrance ramp. Suddenly Machetti came sprinting out from the back wearing a pair of green shorts in spirit of the holiday. "What the hell are you doing?" demanded Machetti, Kendrick stared just at him and didn't say anything, then pushed passed him and headed the rest of the way up the entrance ramp.
Machetti glared after Kendrick while London lay on his back in the ring and muttered something like, "Not again." Machetti suddenly turned around and ran the rest of the way down the entrance ramp then jumped up onto the ring apron. That caught Umaga and the referee's attention because both men turned and stared at him. "Get out of here!" scolded the referee.
"His partner just ditched him!" argued Machetti. Umaga turned around and pulled London up off of the mat by his air, then yanked him up into the air, SAMOAN SPIKE IN MID AIR TO LONDON! Umaga got down on top of London for a pin, but the referee was still arguing with Machetti. Suddenly someone came running through the crowd and hopped the barricade then got in the ring. The fans started going wild, Umaga was confused and got off of London then turned around and walked right into… SPINEBUSTER FROM BATISTA! The referee was still arguing with Machetti on the other side of the ring, he hadn't seen anything. Umaga staggered back up, SPEAR BY BATISTA! Batista grabbed London and laid him on top of Umaga, then quickly got out of the ring.
On the ring apron, Machetti smirked then hopped down off of the ring, the referee turned around and saw London pinning Umaga, ONE… TWO… THREE! PAUL LONDON GETS THE UPSET WIN! Batista stared at Umaga from ringside; he got his revenge from what Umaga did to him on Smackdown. Meanwhile Machetti quickly ran around the ring and grabbed London's leg then pulled him off of Umaga and out of the ring. London was still only half conscious after the Samoan Spike as Machetti helped him around the ring and was joined in front of the entrance ramp by Batista.
Batista and Machetti stared at each other for a moment, then both of them shrugged. Machetti turned and helped London up the ramp to the back, while Batista stared at Umaga who was just getting up. Umaga went ballistic in the ring and started screaming at Batista, the referee quickly fled the ring fearing for his physical well being. Batista smirked at Umaga then turned and followed Machetti up the entrance ramp and to the back. Umaga stayed in the ring and kept screaming as Raw went to a commercial break.
(A/N: C.M. Punk and Victoria randomly showed up on Raw for their matches, so I bent the rules and did the same for Batista. After Umaga screwed Batista on Smackdown and helped the United States Champion, I figured it would be alright for Batista to screw Umaga on Raw and help the Intercontinental Champion.)
---x---
Raw was still live, and had just come back from a commercial break. The fans had just witnessed JBL destroying Colin Delaney, but now the cameras were shown in the back. Machetti was running down the hallway, "Hey, Brian!"
The cameras went to the other end of the hall and showed Kendrick wearing his street clothes and carrying all his gear towards the door. Kendrick turned around and stared at Machetti, again not saying anything. "What the hell was that?" asked Machetti when he reached Kendrick.
Kendrick just stared at Machetti, then turned towards the door. "Hey, I'm talking to you," snapped Machetti as he reached out and grabbed Kendrick's shoulder, turning him around rather forcibly. Kendrick suddenly whipped his hand around and slapped Machetti clean across the face. Machetti stood there and glared at Kendrick who turned and headed out the door, leaving the arena for the night. The door slammed shut in Machetti's face and he muttered, "son of a bitch." Then the cameras cut to the ring.
(A/N: Kendrick left, he won't be appearing in the Main Event. But its not like he did much anyway, he just attacked Orton along with half of the surviving superstars. I don't even think he got hit with Cena's chair. But seeing how Machetti's in the match, and Kendrick isn't, its still 17-on-2.)
---x---
Ric Flair had beaten Vince McMahon, keeping his illustrious career going another week. The camera went to the back and showed Machetti once again walking backstage. "Hey Machetti!" Maria greeted as she and Candice walked up, dressed to compete for their match.
"Oh, hey Maria, hi Candice," returned Machetti. "Look, I've got something I need to deal with, and I'm expecting a visit from our general manager and another superstar in a few moments. So I can't go out there for you match."
"Oh," said Maria, she quickly reached out and hugged Machetti. "Will you be alright?"
"Yeah," replied Machetti. "But keep your eyes out for Santino. He'll probably be out there tonight, you can't let him distract you."
"We won't," Candice assured Machetti. "I'll be watching out for her."
"Good," said Machetti. "And Maria, if Santino comes near you, don't be afraid to do that thing I told you to do."
"You mean this?" asked Maria as she suddenly brought her knee up. Fortunately, Machetti was quick enough to jump back and avoid it.
"Yeah, that," answered a relieved Machetti. "I'll see you later."
"You do realize what you almost did, right?" Candice asked Maria as they headed off down the hall.
"MACHETTI!" came a loud shout. "Just what in the bloody hell do you think you were doing out there?" Machetti turned around and came face-to-face with an irate William Regal. "Don't you have an ounce of brand loyalty?"
"Oh, I have a lot of loyalty," replied Machetti. "That's why I did what I did, I was making sure one of our brand's champions didn't get killed."
"I have half a mind to bar you from the arena for the rest of the night," threatened Regal.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Machetti and Regal both turned around and saw Triple H approaching them. "Hold it right there Regal. You can't bar him from the arena…"
"I bloody well can!" argued Regal. "He cost Umanga his match! And I'm still the General Manager of this brand."
"Well I'm in charge of booking tonight's main event," said Triple H. "I said Cena and Orton would be facing the entire Raw roster, and I meant it. He'll be out there tonight, as scheduled."
Machetti reached out and put his arm around Triple H, then smirked at the General Manager. Regal glared at the two superstars, but finally gave in. "Fine," conceded Regal. "But next week, I'll do whatever I please!" Then he turned and stormed off.
Triple H turned his head to the side and stared at Machetti. The smirk on Machetti's face faded and was replaced with a frown as he took his arm off of Triple H's shoulder. "I don't think I have to remind you what I need you to do tonight," said Triple H.
"No, I got it," answered Machetti. "You want me to go out there along with the rest of the roster and beat the two guys you have to face at WrestleMania. You want me to do what you're afraid you might not be able to do at WrestleMania. Once you see that they can be beaten, you'll try to do the same thing at WrestleMania once we've softened them up for you."
"I'm not afraid of anything," Triple H practically growled. "I'm just taking advantage of the opportunity that was presented to me."
"Of course you are," agreed Machetti. "And I'll do the same thing. After I win the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania, and cash it in, I'LL be taking advantage of an opportunity presented to me and become a World Champion. It doesn't matter if I have to beat you, Cena, Orton, Edge, Undertaker, Chavo Guerrero, or whoever else is holding the gold after the big night. But I'm just putting you on notice."
Triple H glared at Machetti, then the Intercontinental Champion. "But that's after WrestleMania. For tonight… I'll do your dirty work for you, and I'll soften up your two WrestleMania opponents for you. But if you win the belt…" Machetti reached out and tapped Triple H on the shoulder, "I'd be looking over my shoulder if I were you. Because I'll be coming when you least expect it." Machetti smirked then turned and headed off down the hallway.
---x---
Raw was back and it was time for the main event. Burn in My Light hit and the WWE Champion Randy Orton came out from the back. "The following is a seventeen-on-two handicap elimination match. Introducing first, from St. Louis Missouri, weighing in at two hundred and forty-five pounds, he is the WWE Champion, RANDY ORTON!" Orton went down to the ring and got in, then went to the corner and climbed up onto the middle rope where he held his WWE Championship up in the air. He got down and handed his title to the referee then turned and faced the TitanTron and awaited his partner.
The fans popped as My Time is Now hit and John Cena came out. "Introducing his tag team partner, from West Newbury Massachusetts, weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds, JOHN CENA!" Cena did his usual taunts and ran down to the ring and slid under the bottom rope to get inside. Cena glanced at Orton the worked the ropes and pulled off his hat and shirt and threw them out of the ring.
To Be Loved hit and Umaga let sixteen other Raw superstars down to the ring. Umaga was followed by Rhodes and Holly, Val Venis was behind them. Next came out Santino Marella, Lance Cade, and Trevor Murdoch. Snitsky, Carlito, Charlie Haas, and D.H. Smith followed. Paul Burchill came out and so did Super Crazy, Jim Duggan, and JBL. Finally, bringing up the rear, came WWE Intercontinental Champion Machetti. The seventeen superstars marched down to the ring, Machetti was careful not to get near Umaga, who knows if the Samoan Bulldozer was still angry.
The Raw Superstars went around the ring and got onto the ring apron. Umaga was on the end and was actually on the same side of the ring as Randy Orton. Around the turnbuckle next to Umaga were Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. Then was Val Venis, Santino Marella, Mudroch, Cade, and Carlito standing next to the ring post in his teams corner. Next to him, sitting on the top turnbuckle was Machetti. On the other side of him was Super Crazy, then Jim Duggan, DH Smith, Paul Burchill, Charlie Haas, Robby McAllister, and finally JBL, who was on the opposite side of the ring from Umaga. Snitsky was in the ring looking to start the match with Cena.
The bell was rung and Snitsky charged across the ring looking to blind-side Cena while he was talking with Orton. Cena spun around and punch Snitsky in the face, then followed up with two punches to the stomach. Cena dipped down then went to lift Snitsky up onto his shoulder… F-U—Snitsky slips off and landed behind Cena. Cena spun around and Snitsky charged at him, then leveled him with a big clothesline. Snitsky turned back to Cena and started stomping on him, then he pulled Cena up off of the mat and lifted him up onto his shoulder. Snitsky spun around then slammed Cena down to the mat for a big scoop slam.
Machetti, who was still sitting on the top turnbuckle in the corner applauded, Snitsky turned and stared at him, but suddenly Santino reached out and tagged himself into the match. Snitsky reluctantly got out of the ring, while Santino went to the corner Umaga was in. Marella came out of the corner and went for a running elbow drop, but Cena rolled out of the way. Marella hit the mat hard then staggered up, Cena grabbed Marella from behind and rolled him up, ONE… TWO… THREE! SANTINO MARELLA IS THE FIRST ELIMINATION!
Murdoch rushed into the ring and started clubbing Cena on the back as he was getting up. Murdoch grabbed Cena then dropped down to the mat with a neckbreaker, Murdoch made the pin, ONE… TWO… Murdoch kicked out. Murdoch stood up and waited for Cena to stand then took him down with a short arm clothesline, then went for another pin, ONE… Cena kicked out. Murdoch went to pull Cena up off of the mat, CENA COUNTERED WITH THE STF-U! Cade tried to get in the ring to save his partner, but Orton ran over hand help him back, MURDOCH TAPPED OUT! MURDOCH IS ELIMINATED!
Cade rushed out of the corner Machetti was still sitting on the top of and went for a clothesline on Cena, Cena ducked, RKO FROM ORTON! Cena made the cover on Cade, ONE… TWO… THREE! CADE IS ELIMINATED! Cena stood up next to Orton, but Umaga came out of the corner and leveled both men with a double clothesline. Cena stopped on Cena while Orton rolled into the corner (A/N: I'm not going to include the commercial break). Umaga turned around and saw Machetti sitting on the top turnbuckle in the corner. Umaga charged over and chopped Machetti across the chest, causing him to sway backwards, and also be tagged in. Umaga then grabbed Machetti and threw him off of the top turnbuckle… INTO CENA! MACHETTI HIT A CROSSBODY! Machetti stayed on Cena for the pin while Umaga glared at him and went back to his corner, the referee made the count, ONE… TW… Cena kicked out.
Machetti got up off of Cena and pulled him up to his feet, Cena suddenly struck with a right hand to the midsection. Machetti staggered backwards but came back with a punch, Cena countered with another punch of his own, then followed up with a second. Machetti staggered then blocked Cena's third punch and hit a big uppercut. Cena staggered backwards and Machetti jumped up into the air and took him down with a spinning wheel kick. Machetti went over to the corner and tagged in Super Crazy. Crazy climbed up onto the top rope while Machetti took his spot on the ring apron next to Jim Duggan.
Cena slowly started staggering up while Crazy turned his back to Cena then back-flipped off of the top rope, MOONSAULT—CENA CAUGHT HIM! Cena lifted Super Crazy up then placed him on his shoulders… F-U! CENA HITS THE F-U! Cena hooked Crazy's leg, ONE… TWO… THREE! HE GOT IT! SUPER CRAZY IS ELIMINATED! Cena stood up and went to his corner, he stared at Orton then reached out and tagged him in. Orton stared at Cena while he got in the ring, Cena got out on the ring apron… but JBL came from behind with a clothesline on Orton, knocking the WWE Champion down to the mat.
JBL pulled Orton up off of the mat, then drove his knee into Orton's gut and followed up with a Russian leg sweep. JBL hooked Orton's leg for a pin, ONE… TWO… TH… Orton kicked out. JBL stood up and pulled Orton up to his feet, then clubbed him on the back, taking Orton down to his knees. JBL backed up then hit a boot to the face, knocking Orton on his back. JBL reached down and pulled Orton up then dragged him to the corner and tagged in Jim Duggan. JBL held Orton still while Hacksaw came in, then hit a shot to the side. Orton dropped down to his knees and Duggan followed up with three shots to the face.
Duggan pulled Orton up to his feet then reached out and tagged in Cody Rhodes. Duggan held Orton and Cody came in and hit a kick to the midsection, bringing Orton down to his knees. Orton reached for Cena, but Rhodes cut him off with a shot to the face. A kick to the stomach knocked Orton flat on his back, enabling Rhodes to stomp all over Orton. Rhodes hit a punch to the face and pulled Cena up to his feet, then reached out and tagged in Paul Burchill. Burchill took Orton down with a shoulder block, then stomped him on the chest a couple of times before tagging Val Venis in.
Venis pulled Orton up to his feet and hit a series of forearms to the face then took Orton down with a clothesline. Venis pulled Orton back up and bent him over, he reached back and tagged in Carlito. Carlito kicked Orton in the stomach then clubbed him over the back, taking Orton down to his knees. Carlito followed up with a shot to the face, knocking Orton on his back, then he stomped on Orton's chest. Carlito went to the corner and tagged in Hardcore Holly. Holly stomped on Orton then let him stand up. Holly whipped Orton into the ropes then took him down with a chop to the chest. Holly went for a pin, ONE…TW… Orton kicked out.
Holly pulled Orton up to his feet then pulled him back into the corner where he tagged Machetti back in. Machetti grabbed Orton and lifted him up onto his shoulder.

Machetti went for a pin, ONE… TWO… TH… Orton managed to kick out. Machetti stood up then turned his back to Orton and hit a standing moonsault, he stayed on top of Orton for another pin, ONE… TWO… TH… Orton kicked out.
Machetti got off of Orton and brought him up to his feet. The Intercontinental Champion pulled the WWE Champion over to the ropes then turned in Robbie McAllister. Machetti held Orton and allowed McAllister to hit a shot to the stomach. Robbie hit two punches to the face, sending Orton staggering across the ring into the ropes. McAllister went to whip Orton across the ring, but Orton countered and hit his trademark backbreaker out of desperation. Orton rolled over AND TAGGED IN CENA!

Umaga whips Orton into the corner, then rushes him and hits a big body splash. Orton slumps down and sits against the bottom and middle turnbuckles. Umaga crosses the ring, screams, REAR END SPLASH! Umaga came out of the corner and glared at Machetti, then he pulled Orton up and dragged him over to Machetti and hit him with a scoop slam. Umaga stood over Orton then turned to Machetti and went to slap him to tag him in. Machetti ducked the slap, then slapped Umaga instead, tagging himself in. Umaga suddenly reached out and grabbed Machetti by the throat with both hands, then lifted him up flipped him over the top rope AND ONTO ORTON!

Machetti made the cover, ONE… TWO… THRE… ORTON KICKED OUT! Machetti stared down at Orton, then glanced at JBL and Umaga, JBL looked surprised and Umaga looked pissed, but then again, Umaga always looked pissed.
But suddenly the camera cut to the outside of the ring, CENA WAS BACK UP! Cena went to the timekeeper's corner AND GOT A CHAIR! Cena charged the ring with his chair, Machetti quickly stood up to meet him. Cena swung the chair at Machetti, MACHETTI DUCKED! CORKSCREW DROPKICK TO THE CHAIR! IT WENT INTO CENA'S FACE! Machetti turned and glanced at the referee, and pointed to Cena and the chair claiming his actions to be 'self defense'. THE REFEREE KEPT THE MATCH GOING!
Machetti saw Orton still down in the middle of the ring, he ran to the ropes then came off, did a handspring and then a back-flip, HANDSPRING MOONSAULT—ORTON GOT HIS KNEES UP!

But Machetti elbowed Cena in the temple and fought free, then landed in front of Cena and kicked him in the stomach, IMPALER! Machetti crawled back over to Orton and draped his arm over him, ONE… TWO… THRE… ORTON GOT HIS SHOULDER UP! Machetti stared up in the rafters in disbelief, then rolled over to the ropes and slowly pulled himself up, while Orton got up in the middle of the ring. Machetti staggered away from the ropes and went over to Orton, then turned him around, RKO—MACHETTI CATCHES ORTON AND HOLDS HIM UP IN FRONT OF HIM… A SECOND MACHETE'S BLADE! Machetti hooks both of Orton's legs, ONE… TWO… THREE! MACHETTI JUST PINNED THE WWE CHAMPION!

Machetti goes for the pin, ONE… TWO… THREE! MACHETTI PINNED CENA TOO!
To Be Loved played, signaling that the Raw Superstars had won the match. A somewhat fresher Machetti had managed to get the win over the weakened Cena and Orton. The referee came over and helped Machetti up, but then Time to Play the Game sounded through the arena. The Game Triple H came out from the back and slowly walked down to the ring, both Orton and Cena were down. Machetti saw HHH coming and quickly slid under the bottom rope and got out of the ring, not wanting to catch a Pedigree when they started flying.
Triple H got in the ring and pulled Cena up to his feet, kicked him in the stomach, hooked his arms, PEDIGREE TO CENA! HHH stood up then went over to Orton, pulled him up, kicked him and hooked the arms, PEDIGREE TO ORTON! Time to Play the Game hit as Triple H once again stood tall over Cena and Orton. But Machetti suddenly got back in the ring and the music cut, he had with him Orton's WWE Championship and a mic. Machetti stepped over Orton's prone body and walked right up to Triple H. "Hey Hunter," said Machetti. "I just pinned both your WrestleMania opponents. I'm not sure, if you'll be able to do the same thing, but why don't you hold onto this…" Machetti slowly held the WWE Championship out to Triple H. Helmsley stared at Machetti then took the gold, "… hold onto it until I'm ready to take it for myself."
Triple H glared at Machetti, who dropped his mic and smirked at Triple H, then turned and left the ring. Time to Play the Game hit yet again as Machetti headed to the back. The Cerebral Assassin stood over Orton and Cena holding the WWE Championship, and with that Raw went off the air.
---x---
I wasn't trying to pull a Jay Lethal by having Machetti pin both Cena and Orton by himself. I was merely adding in factors about the changes I made in the match. Instead of allowing everyone to rush the ring, I stopped that. And even more damage was done to Orton and Cena in that timeframe. Orton and Cena got hit with a lot more high impact moves so when Machetti hit them both with the Machete's Blade, it was over. Machetti hadn't been in the ring much and was fresh and able to counter the finishers easier, allowing him to get the win.
I also left the Brian Kendrick thing kind of open. Sure he slapped Machetti across the face, but I want to see where WWE is going with this before I do a complete break down. Besides Kendrick and London are still the World Tag Team Champions in my world.
'Till Next Time…
Peace!
