Chapter 22: Xtreme Revelation Week 1 July
A video of the IWA Championship match last week was replayed with the hard hitting moves shown by Cena and Edge's cunning wrestling skills was displayed and ended after Cena made Edge tapped out, like how he lost the title in the first place. The opening for Xtreme Revelation played soon after the video and the pyro started off the night. CM Punk then came out to the stage with the crowd going crazy for the superstar from Chicago, Illinois. He took a microphone and began to talk into it.
Punk: "Last week, John Cena retained his IWA Championship against former champion Edge. I was glad that Edge isn't going to be champion anymore because I could have challenged him and beat him for the title. Anyways, Cena, I am now the No.1 Contender for your title and I will be facing you at Projekt Mayhem."
John Cena's theme hit the sound system and the IWA Champion came out with a stronger ovation from his fans. He slid into the ring and got a microphone to speak to Punk and the crowd.
Cena: "Let me just say to you, congratulations on gaining that spot to challenge me for the title. You see, you and I haven't tangled in the ring even once and that can prove to be quite a challenge. So I accept! You and me with the IWA Championship on the line."
The two shook hands on the agreement, showing their respect to each other. The only man who didn't respect that was George Vegas, who interrupted them with an announcement to make.
Vegas: "Not to ruin something here but there is something that I have to announce. It is already official that the two of you will face each other 3 weeks at Sunday but the two of you will have to stay for your matches later on tonight. CM Punk will be facing former IWA Champion Edge and Cena will go against Tazz."
Vegas exited the stage and went to the back as Cena and Punk looked on. They left the ring too as the opening match was about to start. Test came out to his theme and entered the ring after a successful debut last week against Mike Speedway. His opponent was the one he beat last week, Mike Speedway, and came down to the ring for a rematch.
Mike Speedway vs. Test
Test and Mike had a lock up with Test almost backing his opponent to the corner but he turned it into a hammerlock. Mike came back to the side headlock and was thrown to the ropes then Test went for a hip toss but was reversed it into a jawbreaker. He then clotheslined Test off his feet and whipped him to the corner then launched him to the air with a monkey flip. He went for a pin but got a 1 count. He whipped test to the ropes and went for a spinning kick but Test ducked under it and scoop slammed Mike to the mat. He did another scoop slam on him and bounced off the ropes for a successful elbow drop. He dropped two more and went for a pin but got a 1 count on him. Test then did a suplex on Mike after throwing him to the turnbuckle forcefully. He pounded on his head with his fist and landed incredibly ferocious blows and put him in a full nelson. Mike tried to fight back but he received a forearm to the back of the head every time he does that. Test then threw Mike to the turnbuckle chest first and hit a German suplex. He went for a pin but got a 2 count. The Impact Player then put his opponent in a bearhug and put more pressure on it every passing second. Mike was rallied by the crowd to stay in the contest and he did as he began beating on the head of Test with forearms and one final shot to the head got him out of the hold. He ducked under a clothesline and connected with a running spinning back elbow to the face. Mike then went to the second rope after a clothesline and launched himself to the air with a crossbody on Test. He went for a pin but got a 2 count. He whipped test to the ropes after forearms to his face but he was surprised with the Test Run (Running Big Boot) that got Mike rolling out of the ring. Test then slammed on the apron then went to the steel steps and tried to bang Mike's head to it and pushed him to the steps instead with the knees colliding to it. He tried to grab Test but his eyes were raked and Test rolled him in the ring. He then went for another suplex but his knees didn't take it and mike reversed it into a roll up for the 3 count.
Lilian: "Here is your winner, Mike Speedway!"
Mike did get the win but Test was furious he lost and tried to get his hands on Mike but he got out of the ring as soon the match ending bell rang. Mike raised his arm again with the fans cheering as Test glared at him. Backstage, Edge just arrived and he was in a terrible mood but who couldn't blame him because he is out of the IWA Championship picture. He was approached by Todd Grisham who had a microphone in hand.
Grisham: "Edge, before you arrived, George Vegas put you in a match with CM Punk. How do you feel about CM Punk challenging John Cena for the IWA Championship?"
Edge: "Are you an amateur reporter? Can't you see that not only did I lose my championship but of all people I lost it to Cena! I am obviously not in a good mood to talk to an idiot like you so get out of my way before you wake up tomorrow in a hospital bed."
Edge stormed off leaving the reporter and went to his locker room. Meanwhile, Bobby Lashley went out to the stage and made his way to the ring and his opponent was Tyson Tomko who came to the ring to his theme Screwed.
Bobby Lashley vs. Tyson Tomko
They had a lock up to start the match and with the two evenly matched, they broke the lock up and Tomko punched him in the face. This provoked Lashley and backed Tomko to the corner and landed some shoulder thrusts. He then whipped him to the ropes and ran towards him but Tomko got his elbow up to stop his opponent in his tracks. Tomko put Lashley in a side headlock but he got out of it and did a double leg takedown. He quickly floated over and did a facelock. Tomko then got on his feet and escaped it then threw Lashley to the ropes as he took him down with a shoulder block. He bounced off the ropes and went for another but Lashley tried a hip toss which Tomko countered with a clothesline and Lashley ducked under it for another takedown. Lashley whipped Tomko to the ropes and went for a belly to belly suplex but Tomko countered with a back elbow to the back of his head. Tomko drove Lashley's head and back to the mat with a back suplex and went for a pin but got a 1 count. He punched him a couple of times and scoop slammed him. Tomko left the ground for a legdrop and successfully got it on Lashley. He then lifted up Lashley to his feet and took him down once again but with a short arm clothesline. Tomko then did another short arm clothesline and covered his opponent for a 2 count only. He then lifted up Lashley over his head in a military press position but his opponent escaped and bounced off the ropes which Tomko capitalized on for a spinning side slam. Tomko prepared Lashley for a Chokebomb and hoisted Lashley up in the air which was countered with clubbing blows to the head and he took a kneeling backbreaker rack drop. The Dominator performed an exploder suplex on Tomko and was fired up. He then made an attempt on the Dominator but Tomko slipped behind him and almost leveled him with the Destruction Kick which Lashley ducked under it and delivered the Spear. He hooked the leg of Tomko and got the win.
Lilian: "Here is your winner, Bobby Lashley!"
Lashley gestured the fans sitting in the crowd after the match and Tomko was clutching his gut, hurting from the spear he received. Now at the locker room was The Miz sporting his new Xtreme Generation Championship belt on his shoulder and was about to be interviewed by Todd Grisham.
Grisham: "Miz, now that you are a champion, do you have someone in mind that could challenge you for the Xtreme Generation Championship?"
Miz: "Now that you mention it, someone challenging me for this title on the shoulder will be a difficult task because I am the best champion in this brand. Not even John Cena can out brawl me, not even Mr. Kennedy can out talk me even Matt Hardy can't even out wrestle me for this. That is because there is nobody who can beat my wrestling prowess. If there is someone who wants to step up, then I will accept your challenge."
Before Miz can leave the set, Jack Evans came in the scene to crash his interview. Evans was looking on the new championship of Xtreme Revelation and chuckled at the title holder.
Evans: "So, you think you are a great champion? Guess what Miz, if your so called prowess in wrestling has lifted you up to championship gold then you're wrong. I am officially challenging you for that title."
The crowd cheered Evans for not only attempting to take his title but somehow causing Miz to be speechless for the first time since he came. Evans smiled and left the Chick Magnet to think of when this challenge will take place. RVD just arrived in the building with his partner Alwyn Larson but before they can actually put down their bags, Randy Orton blocks their way.
Orton: "Just the two who I wanted to see. Our general manager just informed me that the two of you will have a tag team match. Your opponents will be me and my partner of choice."
RVD and Larson continued their way to the locker room as the cameras went to the announce team of Xtreme Revelation.
JR: "Orton is such a pain in the ass, don't you think King?"
Lawler: "Don't be like that JR. Orton is just maybe a little sore from receiving that Van Daminator from RVD last week and you can't blame him for that."
JR: "The only thing I can't blame is that Orton is jealous that he wasn't chosen to be Larson's partner and he wants them to regret it."
Lawler: "Anyways, Edge is in a really bad mood and he could let it out in his match with the No.1 Contender for the IWA Championship, CM Punk. John Cena would be also busy tonight with the Human Wrecking Machine, Tazz."
JR: "That's an understatement, King. Next up is the Samoan Bulldozer Umaga who bulldozed through Cody Rhodes 2 weeks ago at Systems Overdrive and he will be against a man he has a history with, Kane."
Virtual Voodoo played and Umaga made his way to the ring not listening to the fans reaction towards him. He screamed at them in his natural language and didn't have to wait for long as his opponent when Slow Chemical started with the huge pyro at the stage. He came down to the ring and entered it via top rope and faced his Samoan adversary.
Kane vs. Umaga
The match didn't start out with a side headlock but with Kane ducking under a clothesline and landing a throat thrust. Umaga took in more blows to the head and midsection that he was backed to the corner. Kane then backed up and charged but Umaga moved out of the way and let Kane bounce off the turnbuckle and squashed him. He then took him down with a reverse STO on Kane and hit a leg drop across his neck. He bounced off the ropes and came down on his head on Kane's torso with a headbutt. He went for a pin but got a 2 count instead. He then tried to pick up Kane but he punched him in the head and got in a stiff uppercut and tried to whip him to the ropes but Kane got to be bounced off the ropes as Umaga countered. Umaga then incredibly connected with a spinning heel kick on the Big Red Machine. He then put a nerve hold on Kane's shoulder, punishing him before he began to fight out of it. Kane drove his back elbow to the gut of until the nerve hold was off of him. Kane ran to the ropes and got in a clothesline to Umaga but he was still standing. He then went for it again and the Samoan Bulldozer was still on his feet. Umaga then yelled at his opponent then tried a clothesline but Kane ducked under it and stunned the Samoan beast with an uppercut. This caused Umaga to bounce off the ropes and received a big boot from the Big Red Monster. Umaga was sitting up as Kane ran to the ropes and execute a dropkick to the face. He then climbed the top rope and launched himself to the air with a diving clothesline that knocked out Umaga. He signaled for the Chokeslam but Umaga pushed Kane to the ropes and perform a Samoan Drop. Umaga grabbed Kane by the throat and delivered the Samoan Spike. He looked at the thumb that hit Kane but that wasn't enough as Kane sat up. Umaga got Kane down with a kick to the head then went to the top rope and nail Kane with the Samoan Splash. He hooked the leg and made the 3 count on Kane.
Lilian: "Here is your winner, Umaga!"
Umaga may have won but Kane wasn't down and out as he sat up once again that prompted Umaga to give him another Samoan Spike. He dragged Kane to the corner and punched him continually until he wasn't moving. The referee told Umaga to get out of the ring but he didn't listen, not even paying attention to him as he backed up. The mammoth from the Isle of Samoa charged and leveled Kane with the Samoan Wrecking Ball. Umaga seemed satisfied, who even knows when this guy is satisfied, and exited the ring as the referee checked if Kane was okay or even conscious.

Now backstage was The Miz standing outside of George Vegas' office with his Xtreme Championship in hand. The GM exited his office and saw the Chick Magnet who had an angry look.
Vegas: "What's up, Champ?"
Miz: "Did you see what happened to me? Did you see what Jack Evans did to me earlier? He attacked me and now I think my jaw is injured. I want him suspended for what he did to the Real Deal Sex Appeal."
Vegas: "I didn't know you referred to yourself in third person. Tell you what; you can do something about Evans 2 weeks from Sunday with you against him one on one with the Xtreme Generation Championship on the line. Since part of the name of your championship is "Xtreme", your title defense will be a Ladder Match."
Vegas left the shocked champion to think about what he was told about as the fans cheered for the title match Evans earned.

Kennedy then climbed the top rope and attempted the Kenton Bomb which Jericho got out of the way with. Jericho went for the Codebreaker but Kennedy held onto the ropes which resulted with Jericho hitting the canvas hard. The Green Bay Gladiator put the bloodied Jericho away with the Mic Check and went on to win the match.
Lilian: "Here is your winner, the Intercontinental Champion, Mr. Kennedy!"
Kennedy was almost groggy but got up to his feet and got enough energy to get his signature microphone with his Intercontinental Championship in his hands and said to the microphone:
Kennedy: "Again, I walk away the victor and it will stay that way because there is nobody that can beat me, even from the other brand for I am Mr. Kennedy!"
He decided that he was through with his post-match speech and exited the ring. The cameras then went backstage as George Vegas was talking to someone in his cell phone but was interrupted yet again by a knock of the door. He ended the call and the person who came in was Eric Bischoff, the Representative of Authority of IWA.
Vegas: "Mr. Bischoff, what can I do for you?"
Bischoff: "I'm just here to see how things are going so far."
Vegas: "I assure you, sir, that everything is going smooth."
Bischoff: "Earlier, you were talking to someone in your phone; tell me it's someone important."
Vegas: "It is. The guy I was calling wants to sign with us and I said: "Sure, be here next week for your debut match." He agreed and now a contract would be waiting to be signed."
Bischoff: "Good job. At least you're dong better than that crowd kiss up in the other brand. I expect this brand to be the flagship of this promotion."
Bischoff left the office as the Xtreme Revelation GM grinned at what he said, signing a new superstar on their brand. Now to the ring, Gold Medal played and Kurt Angle came out on the stage to activate his pyro. The Olympic Gold Medalist walked down to the ring with the fans cheering him but his opponent wasn't as I'm Coming was heard through the arena speakers. MVP came out of his signature tunnel and activated his pyro with his arrogant pose. MVP entered the ring after removing his shades and bling then started the match.
Kurt Angle vs. MVP
The two technical athletes opened the match with a lock up and Angle was able to back up MVP to the ropes and MVP used it to his advantage by managing to put Angle in the corner. MVP then backed up, not wanting to get physical with his opponent just yet. They had another lock up and MVP got in a side headlock but Angle got out of it and did a double leg takedown into a front facelock. MVP and Angle got up to their feet then MVP got out of the facelock and whipped Angle to the ropes and hit a clothesline. MVP went for another clothesline which was dodged by Angle and received a European Uppercut. Angle took down MVP with a side headlock and his opponent used his legs to get out of it and the two stared down each other once they both got up. They had a lock up again and MVP backed up Angle to the corner and slapped him for thinking he was better than MVP but this only earned him punches to the face and a European Uppercut. Angle whipped MVP to the ropes and caught him with an overhead belly to belly suplex. He did and Irish Whip to the corner to MVP and charged but got an elbow to the head and went for a kick to the midsection which was caught and taken down. Angle repeatedly landed blows to the head of MVP and the Ballin' Superstar managed to get out of the ring for a "timeout". Angle got out of the ring and went towards MVP but his eyes were poked and his head slammed on the ring apron. MVP hit a suplex on Angle on the floor and MVP did his pose over a hurt Angle. But Angle held onto the arrogant Miami based superstar's ankle and applied the Ankle Lock. MVP tried to get out of it three times and the third time was the charm as he kicked away Angle. The two rolled in the ring at the ref's 9 count and MVP tried to beg his way and this proved useful as MVP slammed Angle's head to the second turnbuckle behind him. MVP stomped on Angle over and over until the ref used his 5 count to stop MVP as he stopped at 4. Mr. 305 picked up Angle and drove his knee to Angle's head while he's in a three-quarter facelock and whipped Angle to the ropes for a knee lift to the gut. He went for a pin but got a 2 count. MVP kicked Angle on the gut while he tried to get up and MVP bounced off the ropes to successfully connect with the Ballin' Elbow. He went for a pin but Angle put a shoulder up at 2. Angle tried sitting up but was MVP did a big boot after bouncing off the ropes, laying out the American Hero. MVP picked up Angle and tried a suplex but Angle blocked it and did a snap suplex of his own. Angle then went for an Irish Whip but MVP reversed it into a Russian Legsweep. When Angle got up, MVP whipped him to the corner and pounded on him with his fists and by stomping on him. MVP backed up and ran towards him with the Player's Boot but Angle evaded it and performed a German Suplex on him. Angle then ducked under a suplex for a bridging belly to back suplex and only got a 2 count. Angle got in a European Uppercut and whipped MVP to the corner then connected with an overhead belly to belly suplex. He did a waistlock and lifted up MVP with a German Suplex but held on and got in another and ended it with the third that got MVP dazed on the mat. Angle lowered his straps and said the end is near as he began stalking MVP and attempted the Angle Slam but was countered with a kick to the gut and MVP went for the Playmaker which was reversed into the Ankle Lock. Angle told MVP to tap as MVP tried to grab the ropes but was only dragged back to the center of the ring where Angle applied more pressure with a grapevine. MVP was forced to tap before his ankle breaks.
Lilian: "Here is your winner by submission, Kurt Angle!"
Angle stood up and saw MVP clutching his ankle while the winner of the match got his arm raised and exited the ring. As Angle exited the ring and walked down to the ramp with him gesturing to his fans, Edge came down to the ring and Speared the Olympic Gold Medalist, showing his anger about losing his championship. His theme played as he stared at Angle, who was in pain, and the Rated R Superstar entered the ring. CM Punk's theme This Fire Burns and came down to the ring for their match.
CM Punk vs. Edge
Edge immediately clobbered Punk from behind and stopped only when the referee had to physically tear them from each other. Edge stomped on him and put Punk in a rear naked choke, trying to let him pass out with the move. After more than two minutes in the move, the referee checked if Punk is knocked out but when his arm is raised for the third time, he stopped it just in time and began to power out of the rear naked choke. Punk drove his elbows to Edge's gut and completely got out of it then hit a roundhouse kick to the back of his head. Edge wasn't down yet but was taken down with another roundhouse kick. Punk then whipped Edge to the ropes and went for a clothesline but got in a spinning heel kick. The Straight-Edge Superstar went for a double underhook backbreaker but was countered into a suplex attempt then reversed with a scoop powerslam. He went for a pin but got a 2 count on the Rated R Superstar. Punk went for the GTS but was stunned with a big boot followed by a back suplex. Edge picked up Punk and shouted at him, saying that he doesn't deserve his title shot and drove his head to the canvas with the Edgecution. He went to the corner and set up Punk with the Spear but when he charged Punk leapfrogged over him and connected with a neckbreaker. Punk went to the apron and did a springboard but was dropkicked off and hit the floor hard. Edge followed his opponent and tried to do a suplex onto the announcer's table but Punk countered and slammed his head on the table. He even threw him to the announcers and made a fatal mistake by taking his time. When Punk tried to get Edge, the Ultimate Opportunist swung a steel chair on his head, causing a disqualification.
Lilian: "Here is your winner by disqualification, CM Punk!"
Punk may have won but could have not realized it with a steel chair ringing in his head. Edge grabbed another steel chair and smashed Punk on the head again when he tried to get up. He rolled him in the ring and set the first chair under his head and the other in his hand for the Con-Chair-To. He prepared to do the move but Cena rushed in and stopped and assault by dodging a chair shot and threw fists to his head. He ducked again for the Killswitch and delivered the FU to him. He didn't realize Punk recovering and executed the GTS on the IWA Champion. Punk, sending a message to his opponent, grabbed his title and raised it as it could be what we will see after Projekt Mayhem and the show ended.
