The Road not taken (a WWE fanfiction)
Note: WWE and all personalities, catchphrases, etc are registered to World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. These work does not resemble the actual storylines run by WWE, even though the people mentioned are real. I use this year’s actual One Night Stand event as a starting point and use a few of the matches, but from then on, it’s all me.
Thanks to GoldPhoenixRanger (Mr. McMahon on this site) for inspiring me to commit these storylines that have been in my head to the page.
Updates will probably be slow in the coming, as I have many other projects going on. If I can’t tell that anyone’s reading it. I will stop doing it.
Thank you and enjoy.

Monday Night Raw
(1 week before One Night Stand)
Jim Ross: Welcome to Monday Night Raw. One Night Stand is just around the corner, and tonight many superstars will seek to establish momentum. Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler here at ringside.
Jerry Lawler: One Night Stand is where Extreme rules. We’re gonna see who rules tonight. And our main event is awesome; an eight man tag. Edge, Randy Orton, Chris Jericho and JBL to take on Triple H, John Cena, Batista, and Shawn Micheals.
*We see Vickie Guerrero and Armando Estrada in the ring*
Ross: Armando Estrada, the General Manager of ECW and Smackdown General Manager Vickie Guerrero in the ring. Of course, Raw’s GM got the boot last week after losing a match to Mr. Kennedy.
[No Chance]
*Vince McMahon walks down to the ring*
Vince McMahon: Now, I bet you two want to know why I told you to be at Raw.
*Guerrero nods from her wheelchair*
Vince: Well there’s going to be number of changes to the brand extension that will kick in at One Night Stand. But before we get to that, I have to say, the approval rating on you two is plummeting.
*Fans cheer*
Vince: Let me explain what I expect of my General Managers. I expect them to be able to keep things fresh and exciting. I expect them to be responsible with the resources and talent provided. But most of all, I expect them to make decisions that are good for business.
Lawler: Uh-oh.
Vince: Regal pulled the plug during a championship match. That’s not good for business, considering how much hate-mail it brought in.
Ross: I think someone’s gonna get taken out to the woodshed.
Vince: Armando, airtime is very precious for your brand. Yet you waste it to make life miserable for an upstart that hasn’t been around long enough to be cared about. You could be devoting that time to carrying more than one storyline into a pay-per-view. That’s not good business.
*Vince turns to Guerrero*
Vince: And Vickie, where should I begin with you? Fraternizing with your roster, impairing your judgment. Stripping somebody of a duly earned championship, because he keeps beating your fiancé.
Vickie: He kept using a chokehold.
Vince: That’s not what my advisors say. They found no fault with said maneuver. And when I tried to call you into account for it, you blew off the meeting, saying you didn’t have time. When I tell you to come talk to me, you make time. Insubordination is not good business. Pissing off the fans to the extent that you have is not good business.
Lawler: I don’t see good fortunes in their future.
Vince: So to steal one of Triple H’s lines, I expect my GM’s to make decisions on what’s best for business. And since you two obviously are not-- down with that--- I got two words for ya.
*Fans chant “Suck It.” Vince looks at them like they’re crazy*
Vince: Actually, I was thinking more along the lines ….
*Vince gets in Estrada’s face*
Vince: ….. of “You’re fired!”
*Vince turns to Vickie and kneels down to look her in the eye*
Vince: You’re fired!
Vickie: No!
Vince: Security, get these lowlifes out of my ring.
*Security shows up to remove Vickie and Estrada from the ring*
Vince: One thing I have become convinced of is that I need some help keeping my GM’s in line. To that end I am reactivating the position of WWE Commissioner. This person will answer only to me and will oversee the day-to day one the road activities of the brands. This person helped me decide on the changes that will be implemented at One Night Stand.
Lawler: This is gonna be good.
Vince: So at this time, I would like the Commissioner of World Wrestling Entertainment to come out to this ring.
[Ya know it’s the MacMililtant, comin’ to get it on]
*Theodore Long comes down to the ring. Vickie gives him a dirty look as security wheels her away*
Ross: My god, it’s Theodore Long.
Lawler: This is huge.
Ross: And this night’s just getting started, King.
*Long enters the ring and takes a microphone*
Long: Let me holla at ya, playa! As commissioner, it is my responsibility to regulate the GM’s. But before I introduce the three new GM’s, let me explain some of the changes that are gonna be taking place. I have thrown out Vickie Guerrero’s ruling on the World Heavyweight title and awarded it back to the Undertaker.
*Fans cheer*
Long: I have canceled the two title matches on the books at One Night Stand. The main event will be the WWE Champion Triple H vs. the World Heavyweight Champion the Undertaker vs. the ECW Champion Kane in a winner take all triple threat match to unify the three titles into one. Ya feel me? Similarly the tag team titles will also be unified.
Ross: That will be historic, no doubt about it. Though I wonder how Edge and Randy Orton will feel about it.
Long: Before I go on, I need my GM’s out here. We’ll start with Smackdown. Replacing Vickie Guerrero on Smackdown is a man of very few words, a man who has established himself as an impartial person. I think this man will handle himself very well as the General Manager of Smackdown. Please welcome, Ron Simmons!
[I’ll be d**ned! APA theme]
*Simmons comes out wearing a Smackdown shirt and walks quietly to the ring*
Simmons: I have only one thing the say at this time.
*Simmons shakes his head*
Simmons: d**n!
Long: Since the ECW title is going to be a part of the WWE Triple Crown Heavyweight Title, and the third brand has really lost touch with the old ECW, I can no longer justify calling it that.
Lawler: That’s weird.
Ross: The old ECW is dead, but its spirit, I think lives on.
Long: Our Tuesday night show will henceforth be known as Tuesday Nite Heat. And the one I’ve chosen to run it knows a thing or two about heat, ya feel me? She is a former Playboy cover girl and an active competitor for many years here. I’m confident this young lady will bring the third brand to where it can compete with the other two. Please welcome, Torrie Wilson!
[“Need a Little Time”]
*Torrie comes out in an orange pantsuit, which some fans boo. She just smiles at them and approaches the ring*
Long: As for Raw, I saw a long a promising people, but in the end I chose a man, who has been a fixture on Raw for much of its existence. A former recognized world champion, this guy has proven to be one of the most realistic, popular, and knowledgeable people in this industry. So allow me to introduce to you, the new General Manager of Monday Night Raw…
*Long exits the ring and walks over to the announce table*
Long: …Jerry “The King” Lawler!
Lawler: What?
Ross: Surprise, King!
Lawler: You knew?
Ross: They did let me in on it. I’m shocked though. They know how I tend to spoil surprises.
Long: I’ve already picked someone to replace you at the announce table, playa. Now to One Night Stand the main change will be….Vince, you wanna do this one?
Vince: Thank you, Teddy. One Night Stand will play host to this year’s draft. This year we’ll really shake things up. At One Night Stand we will completely redraft the rosters…. from scratch.
Ross: What?
Vince: Now what will this do to the titles? Well let me explain.
*As Lawler gets into the ring, Torrie takes Simmons’ microphone*
Torrie: All due respect, Mr. McMahon, but we have a whole week to cover this. And I think this crowd is about ready for a match.
*Crowd cheers*
Torrie: So why don’t we each pull a member of our roster and have a triple threat match to set the draft order?
*More cheers*
Torrie: The one that gets the fall, his brand has the first pick of the draft. The brand of the superstar not involved in the fall will have the second pick, and the other brand will go third.
*Lawler nods*
Vince: I knew you were more than just a pretty face. We’ll do that right now.
[No Chance]
Ross: Triple threat with huge implications. We’ll be back.
(Commercial Break)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[“Time to Rock and Roll”]
*Trish Stratus is approaching the announce table*
Ross: Welcome back to Raw, ladies and gentlemen, as I’m about to be joined here at ringside by Trish Stratus. For those just tuning in, the King has been promoted to Raw General Manager.
*Trish sits down and puts the headset on*
Trish: Am I on, J.R.?
Ross: Loud and clear.
Trish: I got some big shoes to fill here, but I’m gonna do my best.
[If ya Know... S.O.S. I hear them shouting! S.O.S. I hear them crying!]
*Kofi Kingston comes out to the ring*
Ross: This match will have huge implications for One Night Stand.
Lillian Garcia: The following is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, representing Tuesday Nite Heat, from Jamaica, weighing 218 lb., Kofi Kingston.
Trish: I’ve heard a lot about this guy. Only one loss the entire time he’s been on ECW, which is now Heat.
Ross: High flyer, some very unique offense to say the least. Kofi Kingston may be on Heat now, but next week after the draft, this young man could be on Raw.
[Hello, Ladies]
*Val Venis comes out to the ring*
Garcia: Representing Monday Night Raw, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing 244 lb., Val Venis.
Trish: Well if it ain’t the Big Valbowski. Why did he shave his head?
Ross: I heard he lost a bet, but I can’t verify that. Val Venis is a veteran. Former Intercontinental Champion. Val can get it done, no question.
[Motorcycle revs]
*Chuck Palumbo rides out on his motorcycle*
Ross: This will be a guy to watch, that’s for sure.
Garcia: Representing Friday Night Smackdown, from San Diego, California, weighing 280 lb., Chuck Palumbo.
Trish: Didn’t he used to date Billy Gunn?
Ross: He ain’t been with much anyone here lately on Smackdown. His last relationship was with Michelle McCool.
*Palumbo gets in the ring, Bell sounds.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 1
Chuck Palumbo vs. Val Venis vs. Kofi Kingston
Palumbo starts off like a house of fire knocking down Kofi. Val then forces Palumbo into the corner and start chopping him in the chest. Palumbo eventually powers out and kicks Val down and then knocks Kofi down in the corner. Palumbo kicks Val in the gut but turns into a dropkick from Kofi. Kofi then does the “Boom Boom Boom” knee drop. Val hits Kofi from behind with a clothesline. Val then goes up top for the Money Shot. He misses when Kofi moves out of the way. Palumbo hits Val with a superkick, knocking him out of the ring. Kofi scores Trouble in Paradise on Palumbo to pick up the win.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garcia: Here is your winner, Kofi Kingston.
Trish: So it’s Heat, Raw, Smackdown in the draft order, right?
Ross: That’s how I understand it. This Kofi Kingston is impressive. He has done Heat proud tonight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back stage:
*The three new GM’s, Long and Vince are watching the monitor.
Torrie: Good job, Kofi. I hope I get him back.
Simmons: About a one in three shot.
*Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes enter, sporting the World Tag Team title belts on their shoulders*
Hardcore: Long, explain to me about how the tag team titles are supposed to be unified. They’ll be stuck on one brand.
Long: Relax playa. You see; the Triple Crown Title, the unified Tag titles, the Women’s Title, and a couple others will be contested on all three brands. Ya feel me?
Rhodes: So it’s us against Miz and Morrison at One Night Stand?
Long: Not quite. Ya see, at One Night Stand, you two will defend the World Tag Team Titles against, Paul London and Brian Kendrick, against Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, and Cryme Tyme. Miz and Morrison will have a similar match and later in the evening the winners will fight.
Rhodes: That sounds cool.
Hardcore: Don’t go talking like Carlito. Thank you…Commissioner.
*Rhodes and Hardcore leave*
Long: Holla.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corridor:
*Paul and Katie Lea Burchill walk through the hall.*
Trish: This ain’t gonna be pretty.
Ross: There’s some personal business gonna be settled here. Paul Burchill will go one on one with Mr. Kennedy….
Trish: Kennedy.
Ross: …when we come back.
(Commercial Break)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Kennedy! “Turn up the trouble”]
Garcia: The following contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, weighing 235 lb., Mr. Kennedy.
*Kennedy gets in the ring and calls down the hanging mic.*
Kennedy: I understand that Paul Birchill and his “loose” sister were displeased that I got their homeboy, William Regal, fired last week after our match. You wanna do something about it, Paul? Well, come to this ring, and you too will be beaten and battered at the hands of MISSSSS-TERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR KEN-NNE-DYYYYYYYYYY!
*Moment of silence*
Kennedy: Ken-ne-dy.
*Mic returns to the ceiling*
[Hard rock theme plays]
*Paul and Katie Burchill come out*
Garcia: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Katie Lea, from Chelsea, England, weighing 247 lb, Paul Burchill.
*Paul Burchill gets in the ring*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 2: Mr. Kennedy vs. Paul Birchill w/Katie Lea
Birchill tries to establish an offense, but quickly is taken down by a clothesline from Kennedy. Kennedy tries to follow up but is tripped by Katie on the outside. Paul is quick to go for the cheapshot. He goes for the Twisted Sister but it is countered. Burchill is slung off the ropes and runs right into the Mic-Check. Kennedy gets the pinfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garcia: Here is your winner; Mr. Kennedy.
*Kennedy hits the Mic-Check on Katie Lea*
Ross: Wait a minute!
Trish: What did he do that for?
Ross: For the hell of it I guess.
*Kennedy walks up the ramp smiling while Paul tends to his sister. Paul looks very angry*
Trish: Somehow, I think this rivalry has only begun.
Ross: I fear, you are right
------------------------------------------------
Office:
*Long and the GM’s are talking when Randy Orton charges in*
Long: Something I can do for you, playa?
Orton: You canceled my title match with Triple H. I want my match back.
Long: I’m not certain I like your tone, Randy.
Lawler: Just cool it, Randy. We’ll work something out.
Simmons: We might need a ruling here, commish. Cause Edge is gonna give me the same problems.
Torrie: Hang on. I think I may have a compromise.
*Orton looks at her suspiciously*
Torrie: Estrada booked some Singapore Cane match for One Night Stand. It was supposed to decide the number one contender for the ECW title. Now we could still have this match, add Edge and Mr. Orton to it…
Long: We’ll have to take Morrison out of it
Torrie: True, and we can fill in the blanks of the match later.
Orton: For such a bimbo, that just might work.
*Torrie scoffs*
Torrie: If I were you, Randy, I’d be careful what you said about us until after the draft. Lest you have to take orders from the “bimbo”
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Corridor:
*Maria and Ashley are talking as Melina walks up to them*
Melina: Look, I don’t like you two, but we gotta work together tonight. Beth is mine tonight so stay out of my way.
Ashley: Lead on.
*Melina walks off*
Ashley: What do you think?
Maria: She’s just cranky. Come on.
Ross: Six-diva tag team action is next.
(Commercial Break)
----------------------------------------------------
[“Paparazzi”]
*A swarm of photographers crowds the entrance ramp as Melina comes out*
Garcia: The following is a six-diva tag team contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California; Melina.
*Melina approaches the ring apron and pulls off her entrance perfectly*
Trish: How does she do that?
Ross: Melina’s flexibility, well documented. But she does have a bit of a mean streak.
Trish: I bet King loved that entrance.
Ross: One of the highlights of his night. You gotta believe that he hopes Melina stays on Raw after the draft.
[You’d better hold on tight…..]
*Ashley sprints down to the ring*
Garcia: Introducing her partners, first from Long Island, New York; Ashley.
Ross: Ashley, almost not waiting to be introduced.
Trish: I’ve been stumbling through this color analyst stuff, but now I’m in some familiar territory.
Ross: And ya gotta believe that the Women’s Champion, Mickie James, is watching this match very closely.
Trish: Without a doubt. If she isn’t, I’m going back there and kicking her ass.
Ross: Be careful what you ask for.
[Here She Comes Again...]
*Maria comes out, blows a kiss to the crowd and throws off her hoodie*
Garcia: And, from Chicago, Illinois; Maria.
* Maria walks down to the ring*

Garcia: Introducing their opponents, first, from Louisville, Kentucky; Jillian Hall.
Jillian: I know I got a match, but first I’ve got something for these fans. A nice song.

Trish: Someone come and give this woman some lessons.
*Victoria comes out, snatches Jillian’s mic off her face, throws it to the ground and steps on it.*
Victoria (no mic): You suck, Jillian. Get down to the ring.
Trish: You tell her, Victoria.
Garcia: Introducing her partners first, from Los Angeles, California; Victoria
*Victoria and Jillian argue as they walk to the ring*
[“Glamazon”]
*Beth Phoenix comes out and holds the “phantom belt” up high.*
Garcia: And from Buffalo, New York; Beth Phoenix: The Glamazon.
Ross: The Glamazon claims to the perfect combination of beauty and strength. Certainly Beth Phoenix is the most powerful diva we’ve had in recent years.
Trish: Key words being “in recent years.” Beth Phoenix has been running her mouth saying she’s the strongest diva ever. Beth, I’ve wrestled Chyna, and you’re not Chyna.
*Phoenix does her somersault off the turnbuckle*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 3: Melina, Ashley and Maria vs. Jillian, Victoria, and Beth Phoenix
Maria starts off against Victoria. Victoria gains the upper hand quickly, dragging Maria to her corner. Jillian tags herself in and Maria is stomped in the corner by Jillian and Victoria. As Maria tries to get up, Jillian goes for her handspring elbow, but she misses. Maria darts over to her corner and gets the tag to Ashley. Jillian walks right into a right hand from Ashley. Jillian scores a shot to the gut before stumbling to her corner, where Phoenix gets the tag. Ashley is triple teamed in the corner while referee restrains Melina who is trying to come in illegally. After a while, Ashley manages to get out of the predicament and get a tag to Melina with Beth in the ring. Melina cleans house and quickly goes for the Extreme Makeover, it is countered. Beth hits the Glam Slam, goes for the cover, Maria breaks up the fall. As the referee tries to get Maria out of the ring, Natalya Neidhart slips in and kicks Melina in the face. However, the ref sees it and calls for the bell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Garcia: Your winners, as a result of a disqualification, Maria, Ashley & Melina
Trish: Well if the ref doesn’t see it, it ain’t cheating. Unfortunately for Natalya, this time, the ref saw it.
*Beth shoves Natalya*
Ross: And I don’t think the Glamazon wanted the assist.
*Natalya, Jillian, Victoria and Beth start fighting*
Trish: Well, so much for this team.
Ross: These four women are beating the hell out of each other.
*Referees show up to separate them*
------------------------------------------------------------------
Office:
*The GMs and Long are watching the diva brawl. Torrie shakes her head at the diva brawl*
Torrie: My, what big egos these girls have.
*Mickie comes into the office*
Mickie: You wanted to see me, Mr. Long.
Long: Yeah, baby girl. We’ve decided you need to be defending your Women’s Championship at One Night Stand. Ya feel me? We’d like your insight as to what kind of match it should be.
Mickie: You can use Raw Roulette for all I care. Just like I told Mr. McMahon. I’m game for anything.
*Simmons points to the corner of the room*
Simmons: Is this it in the corner here? Vince must have had it sent here.
*We see the Raw Roulette wheel*
Lawler: Yeah. Let’s get it out here.
*He and Simmons move the wheel out*
Lawler: Alright, Mickie, give it a spin.
*Mickie spins the wheel*
Mickie: Let’s see what we get.
*The wheel stops and all are wide-eyed*
Torrie: Oh, my god.
Lawler: Ron, I think there’s a line here.
Simmons: d**n!
*We look at the wheel, which has landed on “Hell in the Cell”*
Trish: You gotta be kidding me!
*Mickie nods and walks away*
Ross: The Divas in Hell in the Cell? Is Mr. McMahon gonna let this stand?
(Commmercial Break)
---------------------------------------------------------------
[Yo! yo! yo! yo! Shad Gaspard and JTG. It’s Cryme Tyme]
*Shad and JTG come out*
Ross: Welcome back to Raw. Jim Ross and Trish Stratus here at ringside, getting set for tag team action.
Trish: And this team will be involved in the championship unification series for the Tag Team Titles at One Night Stand. Big Shad and JTG will be looking to build momentum tonight.
Garcia: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Brooklyn, New York at a combined weight of 530lb.; Shad and JTG, Cryme Tyme.
*We see Robbie and Rory McAllister waiting in the ring.*
Garcia: And introducing their opponents, in the ring, from Oban, Scotland, at a combined weight of 34 stone; Robbie and Rory; The Highlanders.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 4: Cryme Tyme vs. The Highlanders
Shad starts against Rory, but the match does not get far as Umaga charges in and Samoan spikes everyone, even the referee.
Result: No Contest
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ross: Now what is the meaning of this? Umaga just Samoan spiked five men. And for what?
*Umaga grabs a microphone*
Umaga: (lets out a steady stream of Samoan, among which the only intelligible words are “Jeff Hardy”)
Trish: He’s sending a message to Jeff Hardy, who he will face, Falls count anywhere, at One Night Stand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backstage:
Vince is standing by with Todd Grisham
Grisham: With me at this time is the Chairman of the WWE, Mr. McMahon. And sir, there are many questions heading into the draft and One Night Stand.
Vince: I’m sure there are, Todd. But just to make one thing clear, Mickie James suggested to me using Raw Roulette to decide her match this Sunday. She made me promise to honor what it landed on. Therefore at One Night Stand, the WWE Women’s Championship will indeed be defended inside Hell in the Cell. I’ll get to all questions in time, trust me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ross: Well, with or without the draft, One Night Stand is shaping up to be an exciting event. And this main event may be a reason why.
WWE Triple Crown Unification match
Triple H vs. Undertaker vs. Kane
Triple H vs. Undertaker vs. Kane
Trish: Winner take all, all the gold at stake. This will be a historic match.

Trish: Brutal by definition as this match will be as well.
First blood

Ross: Who’s gonna bleed? Who’s gonna survive? And survival will be key in another match. And Mr. McMahon has just made it official, as you’ve heard.
WWE Women’s Championship: Hell in the Cell
Ross: I understand that ten different women will be inside this demonic structure, the identity of one of them is being withheld.
Trish: I’m glad I’m retired. I don’t think I could handle this. I can handle these three matches, though.
WWE World Tag Team Championship unification series
[/CENTER]Ross: Tag titles gonna be reunified.

Garcia: Introducing their opponents. First, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing 250lb., The Rated R Superstar, Edge.

Tazz: One Night Stand gonna change everything. Like you said, this is the last ECW broadcast. At One Night Stand, this show becomes Tuesday Nite Heat. They’ve already changed the logo on our table. This is nuts.
[“Need a Little Time”]
*Torrie walks out with Joey Styles behind her. The fans cheer*
Tony Chimel: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome, the General Manager of Tuesday Nite Heat; Torrie Wilson.
Torrie: Welcome to the last episode of ECW, and to the beginning of a new era on Tuesday Nights. I’ll be honest; I appreciate ECW’s name and its heritage. And some of that heritage will still live on.
*Torrie turns to Adamle*
Torrie: Mike, this is nothing personal, but to be honest you work better as an interviewer than a commentator. Mr. Styles, please relieve Mike Adamle of his duties at the announce desk.
*Fans cheer. Adamle gets up from the desk as Styles takes his place*
Tazz: well, GM Wilson is already shaking things up here.
Torrie: And finally per orders from Commissioner Long, The talent exchange with Smackdawn will end at the conclusion of tonight’s broadcast. Enjoy tonight’s show.
[“Need a Little Time”]
Styles: Well, Tazz, our new boss wasting little time stirring the pot for tonight’s show.
Tazz: Like it really needed it with this main event. CM Punk taking on Chavo Guerrero: Extreme Rules.

Corridor:
*Colin Delaney and Kofi Kingston walk down the corridor*
Styles: But coming up next, Kofi Kingston and Colin Delaney team up to face Mike Knox and the Gold Standard when we come back.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[If ya Know... S.O.S. I hear them shouting. S.O.S. I hear them crying!]
*Colin and Kofi come out amid pyro*
Styles: And welcome back to the last ECW. Tag team action upcoming
Chimel: The following tag team contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, at a combined weight of 368 lb., Colin Delaney and Kofi Kingston.
Tazz: A very huge tag team match tonight for these two. And I do mean huge.
[Ain’t no Stoppin’ Me…Now!]
*Pyro explodes before Mike Knox and Shelton Benjamin come out*
Chimel: Introducing their opponents, at a combined weight of 541 lb., Mike Knox, and the Gold Standard, Shelton Benjamin.
Styles: A huge challenge indeed anytime Mike Knox is involved. And certainly the Gold Standard, not small potatoes himself.
Tazz: What are you, a tater lover?
Styles: Running out of lines already? I just got back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 1: Colin Delaney & Kofi Kingston vs. Mike Knox and Shelton Benjamin
Colin starts off against Benjamin who quickly gets the advantage. Benjamin drags Colin to his corner and tags Knox. Knox pounds and grounds Colin until Benjamin tags himself back in. Benjamin tries a T-Bone suplex but Colin manages to counter it and roll over to tag Kofi. Unfortunately Knox had the referee distracted. Benjamin punishes Colin some more until he misses an enziguri. Colin tags Kofi again and this time the ref sees it. Benjamin gets a tag to Knox, but Kofi gives them both some offense. After some sustained offense Knox looks about beat and Colin tags himself in. Benjamin clotheslines Kofi over the top rope. Colin looks for a dropkick off the top, which Knox bats away. Knox then hits the Knox-out on Colin for the three-count.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chimel: Here are your winners; Mike Knox and Shelton Benjamin.
Tazz: How impressive is Mike Knox?
Styles: Think about it, Tazz. This could be the last time we see any of these four athletes on this show. The entire active roster is up for grabs in the draft at One Night Stand.
Tazz: One Night Stand, gonna be a rocket-buster. No doubt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Office:
*Torrie watches the match as Kelly Kelly comes into her office*
Kelly: Torrie. Or is it Ms. Wilson, now? Congratulations.
Torrie: Thanks, Kelly. Was there something you needed?
Kelly: A minor thing. You see, I’m getting tired of being dismissed as a competitor. “Oh Kelly Kelly? She’s just that exhibitionist. No one to look at too closely in the title hunt.”
Torrie: So what do you want from me?
Kelly: That Cell match at One Night Stand, I want in.
*Layla storms in*
Layla: Hold the phone. I’m better than you, Kelly. I have more class and style and am more suited to be Women’s Champion.
Kelly: I’m still a better wrestler than you, Layla.
Layla: But you’re still a tramp.
Torrie: Hey, hey, hey, hey. That’s enough of that. Tell you what. Let’s settle this with a match tonight. And as preparation for what the winner will be in for, it will be Extreme Rules. Go get ready; you’re up after this next match.
---------------------------------------------------------
Corridor:
*The Miz and John Morrison walk down the corridor with their belts*
Styles: Coming up next, John Morrison goes one-on-one with the Corn-fed Colossus Festus.
Tazz: Batten down the hatches, this is gonna be off the chain.
(Commercial Break)
--------------------------------------------------------
[Hey listen. This ain’t no make believe….]
*Miz and Morrison come out with their slow-mo entrance*
Styles: And welcome back to the last ECW. This match is about momentum for the unification series for the tag team titles at One Night Stand.
Chimel: The following contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by The Miz, from Los Angeles, California, weighing 219 lb., he is one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions, John Morrison.
Tazz: John Morrison looking very confident as always. But he has got an uphill battle here tonight.
[Biscuits and Gravy….]
*Jesse leads the comatose looking Festus to the ring*
Chimel: And introducing his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jesse, weighing 291 lb., Festus.
Styles: Morrison had better have his mind on this match or the Corn-fed Colossus will make him pay.
Tazz: Yeah, he may not look like much now, but when that bell rings, Festus transforms. And when Festus transforms, bad things happen to his opponents.
*Festus gets in the ring*
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 2: John Morrison w/The Miz vs. Festus w/Jesse
Bell sounds and Festus transforms. Festus immediately starts clothes-lining Morrison. Morrison rolls out of the ring, Festus goes out after him, only to be blindsided by Miz. Festus makes him pay with a clothesline. Morrison tries a kick from the apron but is caught and slammed into the ring post. Festus then throws Morrison back in the ring. Morrison pulls himself up with the ropes and runs at Festus scoring with a leg lariat. He goes for the Moonlight Drive, it is countered. Festus slings Morrison into the ropes and hits his TKO for the win.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*Festus goes back to his coma state*
Chimel: Here is your winner, Festus.
*Jesse helps Festus celebrate*
Styles: Could we be looking at the future unified tag team champions?
Tazz: I dunno about that, but Festus; he came, he saw, he kicked some ass tonight.
Styles: A message has been sent tonight
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Office:
*Long is holding the WWE Hardcore Championship for Torrie to see*
Long: It’s been a while since we saw this bad boy.
Torrie: Not the prettiest belt, but it’s not a pretty division. So how is it coming back?
Long: Well, I’m taking Hardy vs. Umaga and turning it into Hardcore Labyrinth Challenge. Ya feel me? It’s gonna start in the ring between Jeff and Umaga and it will go all over the arena, each section holding a new superstar. Each fall moves to a new location, but if a superstar’s area is breached prematurely they join the match right then.
Torrie: And whoever gets the last fall is the Hardcore Champion?
Long: A little confusing, but pretty simple.
*Kane walks in, ECW title across his shoulder*
Long: Kane. What can we do for ya, playa?
Kane: Tonight is the last ECW, correct?
*Torrie nods. Kane laughs*
Kane: I believe that the ECW title should be defended in the main event of the last ECW. Don’t you agree? I don’t care who it is.
Torrie: We’ll see what we can do, Kane
*Kane walks away laughing*
------------------------------------------------------------
Corridor:
*Kelly Kelly walks down the corridor.*
Styles: Shocking revelations just moments ago concerning the Hardcore title.
Tazz: We got some Hardcore action headed our way next.
Styles: Extreme Rules Diva action. Winner advances to One Night Stand, when we come back
(Commercial Break)

*Kelly Kelly comes out amid cheers*
Styles: And welcome back to ECW, the last ECW. Joey Styles and Tazz at ringside
Tazz: And news just before the break. Our ECW Champion, Kane, is gonna defend the title tonight.
Styles: Only fitting for the last ECW.
Chimel: The following is an Extreme Rules match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Jacksonville, Florida; Kelly Kelly.
Styles: The winner of this match will advance to the Hell in the Cell match at One Night Stand for the WWE Women’s Championship.
Tazz: I think they’re nuts to wanna go in there, personally.
[techno rap music]
*Layla comes out and gyrates on the stage*
Chimel: Introducing her opponent, from Miami, Florida; Layla.
*Kelly pulls out various things from under the ring*

*Kelly and Layla brawl outside for a while before Layla is thrown in the ring*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 3: Kelly Kelly vs. Layla (Extreme Rules)
Kelly grabs a 2x4 and starts hitting Layla with it. Layla blocks the third shot and counters with a monkey flip. Layla then grabs a road sign. (Tazz: Hey, slow it down. That’s a speed limit sign) Layla brings it down across Kelly’s back. Kelly looks angry and rolls out of the ring to grab a Kendo stick which she uses to beat Layla down. As Layla lays sprawled out, Kelly goes out of the ring to get a table. Hornswaggle comes out to help Kelly get it in the ring (Styles: Hornswaggle being a gentleman. He’ll probably want a kiss.) Kelly kisses him on the cheek before he goes back under the ring. Kelly levels Layla with her 2x4 again before setting up the table. After laying Layla across it, Kelly goes to the top rope. She hits a guillotine leg drop on Layla, putting her through the table for the three-count.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chimel: Here is your winner, Kelly Kelly.
Styles: And Layla may rue this night, when she picked a fight with Kelly Kelly.
Tazz: Layla beaten within an inch of her life. Hindsight, it’s good that she ain’t going to Hell in the Cell. She wouldn’t have lasted two seconds.
Styles: Kelly is standing tall tonight, but will she be able to stand at all after One Night Stand?
Tazz: I don’t know, Joey. But Mickie James and everyone else in that cell had better take notice. Kelly Kelly ain’t playin’ around.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Office:
Torrie: It’s beautiful.
Long: This is just a paperweight. You’ll get the real one at One Night Stand.
*Big Daddy V and Matt Striker walk in*
Striker: Whatever are you talking about, Commissioner?
Long: I was just showing Ms Wilson the new Heat Championship. They’ll also be a Raw Championship and a Smackdown Championship.
V: I was kinda wondering about that. So what did ya want?
Torrie: Yes. Kane wants to defend the ECW Championship tonight and I thought you would be the best test for him. Go get ready, ‘Cause that’s the main event and we have two matches left for the night.
Striker: You won’t be disappointed, Ms. Wilson.
*Striker and V leave*
Torrie: See to it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Corridor:
*Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely walk toward the ring area*
Styles: That’s a huge match between two huge men. And we have more extreme action headed your way.
Tazz: Chavo Guerrero will collide with CM Punk in an Extreme rules match.
Styles: That’s up next. Stay tuned
(Commercial Break)
---------------------------------------------------------
[Ooooh Chavoooooo!]
*Chavo and Neely come out grandstanding*
Styles: And welcome back to the final ECW before we turn into Heat. We’re getting ready for our second Extremes rules match of the night.
Tazz: In succession, Joey. They didn’t even clean up after the last one hardly. They got Layla out of the ring and that’s it.
Styles: Her and the table that Kelly Kelly put her through.
Chimel: The following is an Extreme Rules match Scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by Bam Neely, from El Paso, Texas, weighing 215 lb., Chavo Guerrero.
Tazz: But Chavo is smart. He ain’t coming alone.
Styles: Indeed. His bodyguard Bam Neely is present as usual.
[“This Fire Burns”]
*The crowd erupts as CM Punk makes his entrance*
Chimel: And introducing his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 222 lb., CM Punk.
Styles: And this arena’s on its feet for CM Punk.
Tazz: No doubt. The Straight-Edge Superstar is popular everywhere he goes.
*Punk plays to the crowd from the turnbuckle*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Match 4: Chavo Guerrero w/Bam Neely vs. CM Punk
Chavo meets Punk with Kelly’s 2x4, which Punk kicks out of his hand. Punk then kicks Chavo under the chin, knocking him down long enough to get a kendo stick and start wearing Chavo out with it. Punk goes for his knee in the corner but Bam Neely intercepts him. (Tazz: Hey, it’s Extreme rules. Ain’t nothing the ref can do about it.)
Without warning, The Great Khali comes out and lays waste to both Chavo and Punk. Neely puts Chavo on top of Punk for the three-count.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chimel: Here is your winner---
*Before Chimel can finish, Khali slaps the vice grip on Neely until he passes out. Rajin Singh grabs a microphone.*
Khali: *Speaks something in Punjabi*
Singh: The Great Khali says that this is what will happen to anyone that gets in his way as he goes for the Triple Crown Championship.
["Danger"]
*Singh and Khali leave*
Styles: The Great Khali sending a message. He must want in to the Singapore cane match at One Night Stand.
Tazz: Ya think? Personally I say let him into it.
----------------------------------------------------------
Corridor:
*Kane walks toward the ramp with the ECW title around his waist.*
Tazz: But our main event is up next. ECW title on the line
Styles: A clash of the extreme titans. Don’t go anywhere; because that is next.
(Commercial Break)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chimel: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the ECW Championship
[“Slow Chemical”]
*Pyro explodes before Kane comes out. He walks slowly toward the ring*
Styles: It is only fitting that the main event of the last ECW broadcast be a match for the ECW Championship.
Tazz: No doubt. As a former ECW Champion myself I can say that any match for the ECW title is main event worthy.
*Kane gets into the ring and does his pyro*
[Calling all cars, Calling all cars]
*Big Daddy V and Matt Striker come out looking full of themselves*
Styles: This guy, Big Daddy V will be tough to beat, even for the ECW Champion Kane.
Tazz: Kane said he didn’t care who it was, but he must’ve forgot about Big Daddy V.
Styles: As big as Kane is, this near five-hundred pounder will be a huge challenge
Chimel: Introducing first, the challenger, accompanied by his manager, Matt Striker, from Harlem, New York, weighing 485 lb., Big Daddy V.
*V struts to the fans who boo him*
Chimel: His opponent, weighing 326 lb., he is the ECW Champion, Kane.
*Kane holds up the title belt before handing it to the ref*
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Event: Big Daddy V w/Matt Striker vs. Kane (ECW Championship)
Kane starts exchanging right hands with V, who doesn’t budge an inch. Kane tries a clothesline, but V blocks it and hits one of his own. V goes for an elbow drop but Kane rolls out of the way. Kane goes for the chokeslam but it is blocked. (Styles: Big Daddy V just too big) V Irish whips Kane and knocks him down. He slows down, thinking he’s in control as Striker encourages him. Kane sits up. V walks into a big boot which knocks him down. Kane goes to the top rope and lands his clothesline from the top. Cover and two-count. Kane goes for the chokeslam form Hell again and this time he gets V off the ground however slightly to get a three count.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chimel: Here is your winner, and still the ECW Champion, Kane.
Tazz: What power by our ECW Champion. I didn’t think it could be done.
Styles: That is the biggest display of strength I’ve ever seen. Triple H and the Undertaker had better bring their best to One Night Stand or the Big Red Machine will become the Triple Crown Champion.
Tazz: How do you beat that kind of power?
Styles: We appreciate being able to come into your living rooms this evening. This has been one heck of a last episode of ECW. Tune in next week for the first episode of Tuesday Nite Heat. For Tazz, I’m Joey Styles. Good Night.
