WWF Judgment Day was live at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky. The event opened with Team ECK (Kurt Angle, Edge, and Christian) facing Too Cool (Scotty 2 Hotty, Grand Master Sexay, and Rikishi). Grand Master Sexay performed the Hip Hop Drop on Edge to win the match.
Next, Eddie Guerrero defended the WWF European Championship against Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko in a Triple Threat match. After Chyna hit Saturn with a lead pipe that was hidden in a bouquet of roses, Guererro pinned Malenko with an Oklahoma Roll to retain the title.
After that, Shane McMahon faced Big Show in a Falls Count Anywhere match. After interference from Big Boss Man, Test, Albert, Trish Stratus and Bull Buchanan, Shane pushed an amplifier onto Big Show's leg and hit him with a cinderblock to win the match.
Later, Chris Benoit defended the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Chris Jericho in a Submission match. Jericho passed out to the Crippler Crossface by Benoit, meaning Benoit won the match and retained the title.
In the fifth match, D-Generation X (Road Dogg and X-Pac) faced The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) in a Tag Team Tables match. X-Pac performed a Super X-Factor through a table on Bubba to win the match.
Next was the Hell in a Cell match between T&A and the mystery opponent.
In the arena, T&A's theme hits and out they come with Trish Stratus walking between them. "The following contest is a Two-on-One handicap Hell in a Cell match! Introducing first, being accompanied by Trish Stratus, at a combined weight of 629 lbs... T&A!"
"Well T&A will certainly need to be careful when inside that cell." JR said. "That Hell in a Cell can rip flesh, tear bones, end careers. Just ask Shawn Michaels, ask Mick Foley, they went into that cell and were never the same afterwards."
"What I want to know is who are T&A facing?" Jerry asked. "We've been seeing these videos of some figure in a warehouse, but he never identified himself."
"Well, we're going to find out tonight." JR claimed.
"You think it's the Bladewolf?" Jerry asked as Test and Albert enter the cell while Trish stays outside.
JR shrugs. "The Bladewolf has not been seen or heard from since his defeat at Backlash at the hands of T&A thanks to Trish Stratus."
"Hey Trish, come over here!" Jerry called jokingly as Trish moves around the cell to stand near the timekeeper's area. "I'll protect her."
"Sure you will." JR rolls his eyes.
As Test and Albert pace around in the ring, looking over the cell almost nervously, their theme dies down and now they wait for the arrival of whoever it is they are facing inside the cell.
Suddenly, the Titantron starts to glitch like it's done in the past few weeks. The screen then goes black before the words 'A change is coming' appear, followed by the words 'The evolution is upon us!' That is then followed by two chilling words. 'He's here...'
The lights go out and everyone starts to hear whispering which grows louder and louder until everyone hears the whispers were in tongues, not English or anything understandable. The whispers grew in volume before they abruptly cut and then it was all silent...
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The fans came unglued at the wolf howl, recognizing it instantly and now knowing who the figure behind all this was. A chorus sings before heavy metal music hits. Then the first lyrics of the song begins as the lights shine on a figure with his back turned showing the wolf skull vest.
'Who do you think you are? You've now gone much too far'
I bring the Darkness (End of Days) by Jim Johnston plays as the lights shine on a figure standing on the stage with his back turned to the crowd, showing the red-eyed wolf skull on his vest. He looks over his shoulder before fully turning around, revealing... IT WAS THE BLADEWOLF!
'I bring the darkness, I am the thunder. I come from hell and I'll pull you under.'
Bladewolf was now unmasked, but his face was painted red and black to form the image of some demonic wolf. His eyes ere dark brown as always, rather than the actual blood red seen on the wolf skull. He had tattoos going down both of his arms. The right one had a large tattoo of Godzilla breathing his atomic fire, while the left arm was covered by a wolf tattoo. His new tights were different from the ones he wore since 1997, and he had a new sleeveless top that showed the sides of his chest. (AN: Baron Corbin's top and black tights from his Lone Wolf gimmick)
"it's the Bladewolf! My God, it's Bladewolf!" JR shouted.
"Wow, he looks different!" Jerry pointed out the obvious. "He's unmasked!"
"The Wolf is back and he's coming for Test and Albert. And that witch, Trish Stratus." JR said.
Bladewolf makes his way down towards the cell-surrounded ring and stops at the open doorway to take off his vest, showing the front of his top had a large black wolf with red eyes glaring forwards. Bladewolf tosses the vest aside without taking his eyes off Test or Albert. He then enters the cell, reaches behind him to grab the door and slams it shut.
"Oh God." Jerry said.
"Test and Albert are locked in there with the Demon Wolf." JR said as the referee outside locks the door shut. "The pain and punishment these mena re going to go through is inhuman."
Bladewolf keeps his eyes on T&A as he slowly starts to circle the ring like a predator eyeing his prey. He comes to a stop where Trish is outside the cell and looks at her with a cold, hard glare before passing her dismissively while Trish's eyes never left him.
"Bladewolf passing Trish there." JR noted. "I doubt he's forgotten she was the cause of so much trouble for him and his loss at Backlash."
"He Chokeslammed her!" Jerry pointed out.
"She had it coming, King." JR rolled his eyes. "She was poking the wolf and that wolf bit her."
Bladewolf walks up the steel steps and enters the ring through the middle rope. He flips his hair back and adjusts his right elbow pad briefly as his theme dies down. He looks between test and Albert as he waits in the corner.
The referee then calls for the bell to begin the match.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
"Matchup underway and-" JR is cut off as Test and Albert run at Bladewolf... WHO TAKES THEM DOWN WITH A DOUBLE SPEAR!
"Woah!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Spear! A double Spear right out of nowhere!" JR shouted over the cheers.
Bladewolf gets to his feet and runs a hand through his hair, pushing it back and out of his face. He grabs Test first and brings a forearm down across the man's back, then drives his knee into the side of his head before sending him into the corner, runs and hits the turnbuckle clothesline. He wraps his arm around Test's head and runs, sees Albert getting to his feet... AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHILE HITTING A RUNNING BULLDOG ON TEST!
"Wow!" Jerry said, eyes wide. "I've never seen Bladewolf move like this! or do something like that! his movements are always robotic-like, more restrained even."
"The Bladewolf has certainly gone through some kind of change in the month he's been gone." JR nodded. "He's removed the mask he's worn since 1997, when he arrived here in the World Wrestling Federation."
"And he didn't arrive with scary music, scary lighting, okay that music was a little scary." Jerry admitted.
Bladewolf pulls Test to his feet, picks him up in a bear hug before running and ramming him into the corner hard enough to make Testa arch his back in pain before Bladewolf drives his elbow into the side of Test's head, then delivers a huge uppercut that echoes as Test falls to a knee. Bladewolf brings his forearm down on Test's back again when Albert runs up from behind with a clobbering forearm to the back of Bladewolf's head.
"Now Albert." JR said as Albert clobbers away on Bladewolf, giving Test time to recover before joining in. "And now T&A start to take control here."
"Good, they need to keep that up." Jerry nodded.
Test then rolls out of the ring and looks underneath it while Albert Irish whips Bladewolf into the corner. He runs for a turnbuckle clothesline but Bladewolf moves out the way, grabs Albert from behind and hits a German Suplex.
"Look at that quickness!" JR said. "What a German Suplex!"
Test pulls out a steel chair and slides into the ring, but Bladewolf sees him and boots him in the face, knocking him down. Bladewolf picks up the chair, rears back as Test stumbles to his feet... AND CRACKS TEST OVER THE HEAD WITH THE CHAIR!
"What a chair shot!" JR shouted.
"Good grief! I felt that!" Jerry said, rubbing the top of his head before putting his crown on.
"And now the Bladewolf goes to town." JR said as Bladewolf watches Test writhe on the mat. "He is at home in that demonic structure, that steel prison known as Hell in a Cell. He's only been in one previous Hell in a Cell match, which was against Mankind in 1998, and he dished out a tremendous amount of punishment on the deranged personality of Mick Foley. In fact, he retired Mick Foley at WrestleMania this year."
Bladewolf sees Albert getting to his feet and... HITS HIM IN THE STOMACH WITH THE CHAIR! Bladewolf raises the chair... AND SMACKS IT OFF ALBERT'S BACK! Bladewolf rears back... AND SMACKS IT OFF ALBERT'S SKULL! Bladewolf tosses the chair down before he stands over Albert, falls to a knee and starts to hammer away on the big man's forehead.
"And now Bladewolf with devastating punches!" JR said as Bladewolf keeps up the assault, forcing Albert to weakly cover up. "Albert trying to defend himself!"
"God, enough! Enough's enough!" Jerry called but Bladewolf continued.
Test makes it to his feet and sees his partner in trouble. He spots the steel chair and quickly picks it up, rears back... AND SMACKS IT OFF THE BACK OF BLADEWOLF'S HEAD!
"Oh!" Jerry exclaimed.
"What a shot!" JR said as Bladewolf clutches the back of his head and falls onto his front. Test kicks Bladewolf aside and checks on Albert. "And this gives T&A some breathing time."
Once seeing Albert was okay, Test walks over and... DRIVES THE EDGE OF THE CHAIR INTO BLADEWOLF'S RIBCAGE! He does this repeatedly before holding the chair legs, raises it... AND BRINGS IT DOWN ON HIS BACK HARD!
"Good God!" JR shouted as Test repeatedly smacks the chair off Bladewolf's back. "Now Test assaulting Bladewolf with that steel chair!"
Albert stumbles to his feet and says something to test, who nods. Albert grabs Bladewolf and lifts him onto his feet before he pushes the Demon Wolf forward... RIGHT INTO A STEEL CHAIR SHOT OFF THE SKULL!
"And a steel chair right off the skull of the Bladewolf!" JR shouted.
"C'mon T&A! Trish is counting on you!" Jerry called.
Test drops the chair before he and Albert shove Bladewolf out the ring and follow. Albert wraps his arms around Bladewolf's midsection before he yells out as he... RAMS BLADEWOLF INTO THE CELL WALL!
"Albert, ramming Bladewolf into the wall of the Hell in a Cell." JR said. Albert leans Bladewolf against the cell wall before he backs up then charges... AND RAMS HIMSELF INTO BLADEWOLF "Oh! What impact!"
"That's like having your back to a wall and a charging bull in front of you." Jerry said.
Test and Albert grab Bladewolf... AND IRISH WHIP HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS HARD! The steps tip and lean on the cell wall as Bladewolf clutches his right shoulder. Test walks over and delivers some stomps to the Demon Wolf while Albert picks up another chair and tosses it into the ring, followed by the steel steps, a table, a sledgehammer, any weapon he can find. He then walks over to his partner and together they pull Bladewolf to his feet before tossing him back into the ring.
"Now we're back into the ring." JR said.
Test slides in and quickly hooks the legs.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Thr-!"
Bladewolf powers out at two.
"Bladewolf... kicking out there." JR said.
"He's resilient, JR." Jerry said. "Nothing keeps that man down! I'm not even sure he is a man! But T&A have beaten him before and tonight, they're going to do it again!"
"They've only beaten him because of distractions by Trish Stratus." JR reminded. "If it wasn't for her, Bladewolf may very well have still been the WWF Champion."
"Oh semantics." Jerry waved him off.
Test and Albert stomp away on Bladewolf repeatedly before Albert walks over to the table and picks it up then starts to set it up while Test makes sure Bladewolf is still down.
"Looks like T&A intends to put Bladewolf through that table." JR said.
Test picks up the steel chair and... BRINGS IT DOWN ON BLADEWOLF'S SKULL! He tosses the chair aside before he picks up the steel steps and shouts for Albert to pull Bladewolf to his feet, which he does. Test rears back... AND DRIVES THE STEEL STEPS RIGHT INTO BLADEWOLF'S SKULL! BLADEWOLF HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN!
"Blood!" Jerry shouted.
"It is! The Bladewolf has been busted open!" JR said in shock. "We have never seen the Bladewolf bleed before!"
"He can bleed!" Jerry shouted.
Blood pours from Bladewolf's forehead and onto the mat as Bladewolf weakly tries to fight back, throwing his fists but Test and Albert continued to stomp away on him before they pull him to his feet and place him onto the table.
"Uh-oh." JR said as test starts to go to the middle turnbuckle. "Looks like Test is going to put Bladewolf through that table!"
Albert gives test the go-ahead sign... WHEN BLADEWOLF SITS UP!
"Bladewolf just sat up!" JR shouted over the cheers as Albert and test freeze in their tracks.
"oh no!" Jerry said.
Bladewolf gets off the table and clobbers Test in the face before he unloads on Albert with a fury of lefts and rights to the big man's midsection, then finishes with an uppercut.
"And here comes the Bladewolf!" JR shouted.
Bladewolf takes Albert down with a clothesline before he rolls out of the ring and looks underneath the ring for a brief moment before he pulls out... THE BLACK BASEBALL BAT! Bladewolf slides into the ring and... BRINGS THE BAT INTO TEST'S STOMACH!
"Youch!" Jerry exclaimed. "That had to hurt!"
Bladewolf raises the bat... AND BRINGS IT DOWN ON TEST'S BACK! Bldewolf turns and duck a right from Albert, jabs the bat into his stomach before he drops it then Irish whips Albert into the corner hard to make him bounce off... AND GOOZLES HIM! Test runs... BUT GETS CAUGHT IN A GOOZLE! Bladewolf looks back and fourth between both men before he lifts them up.. AND PLANTS THEM WITH A DOUBLE CHOKESLAM!
"Double Chokeslam!" JR shouted.
"Oh my... that strength! he managed to lift Albert with just one arm!" Jerry shouted in shock.
Trish, who had made her way around to where the door was to watch, used her attractive looks to charm the referee into handing her the key and she unlocked the cage door as Bladewolf does the throat slit gesture across his throat.
"And the end is..." JR stops as he sees Trish enter the cell and get onto the ring apron. "Oh no."
"Trish! Get out of here!" Jerry shouted.
Bladewolf pauses and turns around to see Trish, causing him to just stare at her as he blinked twice. The distraction allows Albert to clobber Bladewolf from behind.
"Albert from behind! the distraction from Trish pays off again!" JR said.
"Yes!" Jerry said.
Albert pulls Bladewolf to his feet and rams him into the corner hard before lifting him up and puts him onto the top turnbuckle before he climbs up and starts to set up for a superplex.
"Superplex, JR!" Jerry said.
"This one will hurt!" JR nods.
Suddenly... TRISH LOW BLOWS ALBERT!
"What?!" jerry shouted in shock.
"Wait a minute!" JR shouted as well as Albert falls down, clutching his crotch while Trish smirks. "Trish just nailed the low blow on Albert!"
"What is she doing?!" Jerry exclaimed.
Bladewolf gets down from the turnbuckle and grabs Albert, sets him up into a reverse sitting position on his shoulders... AND HITS A HUGE POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE!
"OH!" Jerry exclaimed.
"Powerbomb through the table!" JR shouted.
Test, who had recovered from the double Chokeslam, had managed to see the betrayal and got to his feet. he whirls Trish around and argues with her on what she's doing. Trish backs up before she runs and Test chases her but she ducks behind Bladewolf who catches Test... AND HITS A SLICK REVERSE STO!
"Oh!" Jerry exclaimed.
"That's new!" JR said.
Bladewolf rolls Test over and hooks the legs!
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three! Ring the bell!" The referee called.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
I bring the Darkness (End of Days) plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet, wiping the blood out of his face. "Here is your winner... THE BLADEWOLF!"
"What the heck did we just see, JR?!" Jerry asked.
"I don't know, King! T&A looked ready to win again thanks to Trish Stratus but... she turned on them!" JR said, not sure what to make of the unexpected betrayal.
Bladewolf flips his hair backs and wipes off the remaining face paint before taking off his shirt to wipe the blood off his face. He tosses it aside and turns to see Trish standing there, smirking at him. He puts his hands on his hips as his lips twitch into a smirk before he caught her as she jumped onto him, wrapping her arms and legs around him.
"Wha-!" Jerry was stunned when Trish... PLANTED HER LIPS ON BLADEWOLF'S!
"What?!" JR shouted in shock.
The fans were shocked as well as they witnessed Bladewolf, a man who was once a silent, masked monster of destruction... kissing a woman on his own free will rather than what it was like last time Trish kissed him. He wrapped his arms around Trish as she unwrapped her legs from around his waist to be put down. Bladewolf and Trish raise their arms as the crowd gives a small mixed reaction.
The new couple exit the ring and leave the cell, Bladewolf wrapping an arm around Trish's shoulders as they head to the back...
And just like that, Bladewolf has turned Heel. I tried to do what happened at Judgment Day 1998 when Undertaker (who was a Face) turned Heel on Kane (Who was a Heel at the time) by rejoining with Paul Bearer (Who was also a Heel).
