We're all sitting backstage for the Smackdown taping tonight, Mike already changed for his match later on with Kofi.
"Well your match should be an easy win."
"One would think." He agrees.
"But then again...what does the match prove...nothing."
"Too true." Aly sighs.
Once the show starts, they do a little promo about Smackdown itself and then show the 12-man tag team match featuring superstars from Raw and Smackdown. After that they play the intro and whatnot and then show that tonight is going to be the coronation of Ziggler becoming World Champion.
"Oh joy." I say rolling my eyes.
Aly rolls her eyes too. Once they were done talking about that, the ring comes into view and Edge's music and he walks out and gets into the ring. After his music faded, Randy's played.
"Headache..."
"Just who I really wanted to see...not."
Randy's music faded pretty quickly and then Morrison's played, followed by Truth's, Rey's and lastly John's.
"Oh great, that means all 3 of my stalkers are in the same building. Joy." Aly grumbles.
"But they can't do anything..."
"Still doesn't make the idea any more fun."
So the first tag team was set in the ring, then Punk's music played.
"Another headache..."
Then Sheamus' music played, followed by Corre's music and the member who walked out was Wade.
"Third headache..."
"This is turning into a huge migraine fest."
Next to come out was Drew, followed by Kane and then Dolph Ziggler.
"Ugh."
After the bell rang, it started out as Edge against Sheamus, but Drew demanded that Sheamuse tag him in and he did. Now it was Edge against Drew, and after a while Edge tagged in Truth and now it was him against Drew. Drew tagged in Ziggler to go against Truth, but Truth tagged in Randy shortly after so he went after Dolph. Eventually Randy tagged in Johnm which later turned into John tagging in Morrison. Then we went to a commercial break and when we came back Sheamus was in the ring going against Morrison.
"Is it just me or did Sheamus like dye his hair brown or something?"
"No...it looks weird."
Sheamus got up and Punk tagged himself in, going after Morrison. Morrison got out of the Anaconda Vice and tagged in Rey, and he was on a roll. Then eventually Punk tagged in Kane, and that led to Rey being thrown out of the ring at Punk, and we go to another commericial. When we come back it's Wade in the ring with Rey, but Sheamus gets tagged in again. Later on Wade got tagged in, but Rey tagged in Edge along with Dolph. Edge sets up for the spear later, but Sheamus comes in and kicks him in the face ending it. That leads to Morrison rushing in and then kicking Sheamus in the face, which leads to Kane chokeslamming him, which leads to John AAing Kane, which leads to Punk giving John the GTS. That then leads to Punk getting RKO'd, leading to a future shock DDT to Randy by Drew. It was absolute chaos in the ring.
"Jeez."
In the end though, Edge wins with the spear.
"Of course...and watch Vickie come out soon."
"I think that's a given."
Vickie does in fact come out saying 'excuse me' as usual.
"Here we go..."
We both sigh.
"Edge...I am ordering you to hand over the championship belt. Because you are no longer the World Heavyweight Champion. And let me show you why..."
The footage from last week plays, showing the illegal spear that Vickie clearly saw after sitting outside the ring from favoring her ankle...which supposedly got hurt by an attempted spear to Edge himself.
"The spear was illegal Edge...you knew that. I don't even know what that football player was thinking. He is not even a licensed official. I repeat...you are no longer the World Heavyweight Champion. But my boyfriend Dolph Ziggler is. And tonight on this 600th episode of Smackdown, we will all witness this championship coronation."
"I swear if I have to witness them kissing, I will be grossed out beyond belief."
"Now Edge you are very welcome to watch it from your hotel room, because I know that you are the one that assaulted Teddy Long. I mean as long as I've known you, you've always had this hidden hatred that builds up into this uncontrollable rage, and that rage is what assaulted Teddy Long. Now Mr. Long and I may not see eye to eye on many things, but we have great respect for each other. And because of that and with great reluctance, I am here to inform you...you're fired!"
"Yeah okay."
"You know she's been a real bitch lately...first Kelly and now Edge."
"Yeah, hopefully somebody does something about it."
After the next commercial break, they show an Elimination Chamber promo and then after that a replay of the firing of Edge. Then Cole rants about that firing of Edge, and footage from last month between Cody and Rey during a match when Rey broke Cody's nose.
"Oh how I love that footage."
Alex laughs, Mike and Aly both look amused. The screen cuts to footage from earlier in the week or whatever of Todd backstage talking about Cody.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the dashing one Cody Rhodes is prepared to address everything from his broken nose at the hands of Rey Mysterio, to his successful facial reconstruction."
The camera pans over and it shows Cody, but he's wearing this plastic mask thing over his face where the surgery happened. I crack up, leaning on Alex.
"You get some sort of sick joy from introducing me like that Todd? The world can't see the pain I've endured or the mental anguish. There's no point, it's not fair to them. Yeah, my operation was a success, but what about my opportunities for success? They've been destroyed. While other superstars like Rey Mysterio are on the road to Wrestlemania, my journey has been stalled before it could even get started. All because of some...some masked...it's not important. I shouldn't bad mouth Rey...it's a step backwards. I'm ten times the professional he could ever hope to be. I came here instead to announce that my doctors have cleared me for travel."
"And we care...why?"
"...great..." I mutter.
"We have to see him on flights again..."
Aly rolls her eyes.
"Which means next week on Smackdown I have a very important announcement for the WWE Universe. Thank you Todd, that's all I have to say." Cody finishes and then walks away.
The camera goes back to the ring and Eve's music is playing, she walks out with Beth for a tag team match. I immediately start glaring at Eve on the tv.
"I'm telling you my nights would be a whole lot better without seeing her."
"Now you know how I feel about Frenchie." Aly comments.
After coming back from another commercial break, LayCool's music is playing but it's only Layla in the ring...with Maryse.
"Speak of the devil."
Aly growls. Then by commentary we see Michelle.
"Wow, the only talent I see there is Beth...fail."
Aly agrees, glowering at Maryse, Eve and LayCool. Later in the match Even was gaining the control over the match, going after Layla. Michelle gets up from commentary and gets up on the side of the ring, trying to distract Eve but instead is distracted herself. Beth comes and punches her in the foot where she got hurt last week and she starts getting attacked by her. The ref is distracted, so Maryse got into the ring with Layla and they both kicked Eve, Layla getting the pin and winning.
"Eh."
Another commercial break and when we come back they show the footage from Raw with the Rock.
"Oh, enough with this already. I get it, he's back...but is it necessary to elaborate on it more than we already have?"
"Apparently." Aly mutters, leaning into Mike.
After the entire footage of the Rock, it's another commercial. After the commercial they show another Smackdown moment and then Kofi's music played.
"Looks like we have to get heading out there now."
Aly sighs and swings her legs off of Mike's lap, reaching for her crutches. We make our way out the door and down to the curtain. Once we get there, the tech guy plays Mike's music and we all walk out. Of course with me staying behind with Aly as she makes her way slowly down the ramp. We go around to sit by commentary while we watch the match. Eventually the bell rings and they circle eachother and then lock up. Mike grabs Kofi around the waist and Kofi reverses doing the same thing to him. Mike gets out of it and twists Kofi's arm and then twisting it behind him, moving onto a headlock. Kofi gets out of it by pushing Mike into the ropes, and when Mike comes back he shoulder blocks Kofi to the apron. Mike stares at the crowd and then goes against the ropes, hopping over Kofi and then coming back with Kofi jumping over him, and holds onto the ropes missing a move by Kofi.
Kofi and Mike run at eachother, Mike only to be met by him getting flipped over by Kofi and his arm getting into a painful position. Mike gets up and Kofi starts twisting his arm, ending it behind his back. Mike elbows Kofi in the side of the head to make him let go, followed by a knee to the gut of Kofi. Mike throws Kofi into the ropes, only to be met by Kofi jumping on him and trying for the pin. Mike kicks out at 1, not even one in fact. Kofi runs against the ropes again as Mike gets up, colliding with Mike and going for yet another pin. Mike kicks out again and Kofi goes against the ropes again, Mike missing a move and then Kofi jumping on him again going for the pin. Mike kicks out and Kofi gets a hold of that arm again. Again Kofi gets up and twists the arm of Mike, putting it behind his back. Mike starts backing up and slams Kofi into the corner, making him let go. Mike then turns around and repeatedly starts punching Kofi in the head, making him slide down. He then kicks him twice before the ref pulls him away.
Mike goes back over to Kofi and picks him up, but Kofi gets the strength back and hits him. He shows signs of life as he pushes Mike into the opposite corner, or well near it anyway and throws Mike into the previous corner before running at him. Kofi jumps up but Mike crawls away, resulting in Kofi standing on the ropes and Mike kicking his feet out from under him. Then we went to a commercial and during the commercial Mike had control of the match. When we came back, Mike had kicked Kofi in the gut making him roll to the ropes. Mike goes over and pulls Kofi up by his hair and then supplexes him before going for the pin. Kofi kicks out unfortunately. Mike then pulls Kofi up by his hair again and then pulls his arms back behind him putting pressure on them. Kofi slowly stands up and then reverses the move, but Mike reverses it back putting more pressure on the arms.
Kofi stands up again and reverses the move a 2nd time, and it keeps getting reversed before Kofi tries to pin Mike. This doesn't work as Mike kicks out again. Mike gets up to go after Kofi but he kicks him in the leg twice, only to be met with a kick my Mike and a punch. Kofi goes after Mike again with the kicks and punches. Mike goes to punch Kofi again but Kofi counters and that results to Mike countering and pushing him away. Mike runs at Kofi only to be met by a hit in the face, followed by being thrown into the corner. Mike gets up again only to be met by a dropkick and Kofi goes for the pin again...Mike kicks out. Kofi gets up along with Mike, but Mike takes advantage and rams Kofi into the corner. He backs up and goes to run at Kofi, only to hit the corner as Kofi moves away. Mike stumbles away as Kofi climbs to the top of the turnbuckle. Kofi does a high cross body and goes for the pin, Mike kicking out of that as well.
Kofi goes against the ropes and comes back hoping to jump and land on Mike, but Mike gets up and counters the move doing the neckbreaker and backbreaker move of his. Mike goes for the pin, but Kofi kicks out. Mike gets frustrated as he stands up and stands over Kofi. He goes to reach down to pick Kofi up but Kofi lifts a leg and hits Mike right in the side of the head. Mike stumbles and Kofi kicks his leg and then goes to throw him out of the ring, but Mike counters to throw Kofi out, that resulting in Kofi holding onto the ropes and bouncing back. Kofi counters another move and then does his signature, doing a boom drop. He gets into the corner to get pumped up for Trouble In Paradise, but Del Rio starts walking out. Kofi walks over and glares at him as he walks down the ramp. The distraction causes Mike to get a rollup and go for the pin, but Kofi counters with his own rollup and goes for the pin on Mike.
Mike kicks out, sending Kofi over to the ropes. Kofi comes back as Mike gets up and hits him with a big right hand. He goes to throw him into the ropes, but Mike counters and sends Kofi that way, bending over to flip Kofi over him. But that only turned into Kofi kicking Mike in the shoudler and he stumbles away. Alex gets up and distracts the ref, Del Rio then hitting Kofi with his scarf, resulting in Mike getting Kofi in position and delivering the Skull Crushing Finale and getting the pin to win the match. After Alex got into the ring and raised his hand in victory, Mike left the ring right away and headed up the ramp. We got up from sitting next to commentary and slowly made our way up the ramp and backstage ourselves.
"Can't say I was expecting that but whatever."
We slowly made our way back to the room and walked in, seeing only Alex there since Mike went to go change and we sit down on the couches and wait.
"I can't wait until I'm off these stupid crutches." Aly mumbles.
"I bet."
"They're annoying."
"They look annoying."
"They are, trust me."
"Then remind me never to get hurt then."
"Let's hope it doesn't happen."
"I think you both know that I won't let that happen." Alex adds.
"Mike would have said the same thing about me Alex and yet here I am." She points out.
"Well he wasn't ringside for you...just saying."
She just shakes her head and leans back into the couch. Mike comes back, sits down next to her and then carefully pulls her into him. She snuggles into him, sighing in content. After coming back from the commercial, out walks Slater and Gabriel getting into the ring for their match for the tag team championships. Santino and Kozlov come out and get into the ring, but we all know that they'll win which they do in the end of the match...but only by DQ since Wade and Ezekiel got into the ring after coming out earlier in the match. We both roll our eyes. Big Show comes running down to the ring and takes out every Corre member, and so on and so forth. After showing a Smackdown moment, we see that they're setting up for Dolph's coronation.
"...joy..."
"Just great..." Alu mutters.
After that commercial break, Vickie and Dolph were in the ring already.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world championship coronation of Dolph Ziggler! And so as general manager, it is a great privelage to introduce to you the new World Heavyweight Champion...Dolph Ziggler!
Vickie takes the title and then hands it to Dolph, and hold it up for the crowd to see. But mid celebration, we hear Teddy's music play and he walks out not looking to happy, getting into the ring.
"Oh this should be good."
"What's the matter? You two act like you're looking at a ghost. Well, I can imagine you two are surprised to see me...especially you Vickie. I mean with this so called investigation, that you're saying you're conducting...about my attack. Well did your investigation lead you to looking into a mirror?"
"Oh ho...busted!" I say.
"Excuse me...that's absurd."
"I'm not finished yet! Now Vickie...you have the most to gain from my attack. In fact...you're the one that people say...was the first one on the scene."
"Excuse me..."
"After my attack."
"That's ridiculous, I can't believe you're suggesting that..."
"Shut up!"
"Go Teddy!"
"Now you've been after my job for a long time. But you don't have to worry about my job, your job, or anybody else's job. Because you see Vickie, here's what's going to happen."
"Alright alright alright alright! It was Dolph...it was all Dolph! It was his idea! I had nothing to do with this! It was all him!"
"Pfft, like Ziggler wears the pants in that relationship. We all know she made him do it." Alex snorts.
"Exactly, she wanted the power of general manager on Smackdown. So she had Dolph take out Teddy for her."
"Well...well well. You know what, I'm glad to see this is all coming out now. But you see...you can forget all about this world title coronation. In fact, you can clear this ring. Now I want you to know one thing, now that I am back in charge...we are going to have ourselves a world title match right now! You see Vickie...you HAD the power to fire people. Now I've got the power to rehire people. And that is going to be Dolph's opponent for this title match. The Rated R Superstar, Edge!"
"Nice."
Edge's music plays and out her walks, staring at Ziggler with the crazy eyes. We go to a commercial so that they could clear out the ring for the match. After the commercial Dolph and Edge were already at each other in the match. But in the end Edge speared Edge and pinned Ziggler for the win, regaining the title back. Vickie gets into the ring and goes over to Dolph. Edge's music fades and then Teddy's plays again.
"Wait wait."
"What now?" I mutter.
"Hold on a second playa'. There's one more thing...Dolph...you're fired!"
"Ohhhhhhh."
"A-a-a-a-a-a-hem." Edge interrupts after Teddy leaves.
"Excuse me. Tonight...it's been uh...it's been a long party hasn't it? I mean tonight is the 600th episode of Smackdown! And uh...I was here for the first episode of Smackdown, and now I stand here on the 600th episode of Smackdown with the World Heavyweight Championship back where it belongs! And now...now Dolph Ziggler is fired. I mean just a couple hours ago, I was fired so I know how it feels. It doesn't feel very good does it? But I tell you what, it almost makes...almost makes a guy want to sing seeing you get fired."
"Don't sing. Please."
"And I don't have the best pipes in the world, I can't sing that great, but I do have an idea for a song." Edge continue, as confetti starts falling.
"We're going to have a little celebration here and I have an idea...a way to sing Dolph Ziggler into the sunset off of Smackdown. I think you people know how this one goes. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye. Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey goodbye."
"Haha."
Dolph leaves and then Vickie, and the screen fades with Edge in the ring as the confetti falls and he holds the title up in victory.
"Well that was interesting."
"Definately. Bye bye Ziggler." I laugh.
Aly laughs a little and both Mike and Alex chuckle. Then we all decide that we should get going, so we all get up and grab our things...Mike grabbing your stuff and we all head out to the car and head back to the hotel.
"We successfully made it through the night without run-ins with annoying stalkers." Aly says as we wait for the elevators.
"For once." I nod.
"I thought for sure we'd have at least one after what news got revealed on Raw via Kiss Cam." She adds, somewhat amused.
"You'd think so." I add, as we walk into the now open elevator doors.
"I'm not complaining though. Its a nice change."
I nod in agreement as the elevator reaches our floor and we walk out, down to our rooms
and then inside.
