1.) Beer Money Vs Kings of Wrestling – Tag Team Chains Match

The shock of KOW winning the Parking Lot Brawls was something that many people did not expect. With the way Beer Money had the match controlled but a simple mistake and KOW capitalized and found themselves the winners of the match. However Beer Money was not going to rest easily as anytime King of Wrestling made they way out for a match or just on fro some screen time, Beer Money which bandages and cuts all over there bodies would just attack King of Wrestling, brutally attacking them with chairs and leather belts. Beer Money wanted blood and where doing anything they can in order to attack Kings of Wrestling. No-one could tear this two teams apart, this rivalry has gone past who is the better team, this is just about what team can survive once the dust is settled. The attacks got worse as it wasn’t just Ring of Honor where attacks happened. If there was a Radio interview taking place, whether it was KOW or Beer Money, the other team would call in and both sides would engage in an argument, if it was a TV appearance then both teams would attack each other. Neither side wanted to leave the other alone and no matter what happened as long as either side were breathing, then there was to be hell for all four men.
It was decided that for the safety of everyone, these two teams where to have another match on PPV, but this time they would be chained to each other in a Tag Team Chains match. That way neither side could run off if hurt too much, neither side could do anything without the other being close to them. The Chains match was confirmed for the PPV and from that day Beer Money and Kings of Wrestling, both vowed to destroy the other team and take them out for good. This feud started with who was the best team in ROH, this has now become simply, who can survive the onslaught as these four men go to war in a Tag Team Chains Match at Driven.

2.) Brock Lesnar Vs Edge

Following what happened at Take No Prisoners in which Edge was screwed of his chance to become Pure Champion, it was announced via the official ROH Website that Edge would get his chance for revenge when he was to face Brock Lesnar at the PPV, this match was also going to be a number one contender’s match, the winner would face the Ring of Honor Pure Champion Chris Benoit at next month’s PPV Undeniable. So with this match have a lot on the line, both men knew there were going to be in for a big match with each other.

3.) Ring of Honor Television Championship – Yoshi Tatsu Vs Prince Devitt

4.) Ring of Honor World Tag Team Championships – WGTT (C) Vs The Briscoe Brothers

In the pursuit to show everyone why they are the World’s Greatest Tag Team, they issued out an open challenge saying they will face ANY team in the world and defend there Championships. The Briscoe Brothers answered the call. They are quite possible the best tag team ever in Ring of Honor History, if you can beat them, then you have a right to call yourself the best and they are the yard stick when it comes to Tag Team Wrestling in ROH . Briscoes issued the challenge and WGTT excepted with no hesitation and so it was announced that this match was to happen at Driven. Could WGTT beat The Briscoe Brothers and solidify themselves as one of the best tag teams in Ring of Honor History. It would all go down at the PPV.

5.) Taz Vs a hand picked opponent of Triple H’s choosing
6.) Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship – Randy Orton (C) Vs Chris Benoit (C)

Following the shocking events of Take No Prisoners and the ending which many have described as an omen to the future of Randy Orton. It was revealed that Orton has now hired as much security as possible and that wherever he goes, Security will always follow him, surround the ring during every match and will have security check the premises whilst wrestling to make sure nothing like what happened at Take No Prisoners happens again. Also coming from the PPV, Austin Aries has seemingly vanished, no-one has been able to contact him or find out where he has gone. It was also announced that in a rematch from World Collide I in December 2009, there was to be a special NWA/ROH house show in July in which ROH World Champion Randy Orton would go up against Ricky Steamboat. With all this there was one thing that Orton had forgot about, that being his next championship defense being against Current NWA Wrestler and Ring of Honor Pure Champion Chris Benoit at Driven. Following two weeks of Orton not appearing at any shows it was announced on the website that Orton was to make a special address on the forthcoming edition of ROH on HDNet, where Orton would discuss all of these situations.
The day arrived for the ROH show to air and there was no intro at all, there was no entrance music and there were no fans in the arena. All that was there was Revolution surrounded by security, mainly too protect Orton who is sitting down on a chair, the Ring of Honor World Heavyweight Championship is by his feet lying in the middle of the ring. The silence of the Arena created the eerie atmosphere that Orton looked like he wanted. Orton now finally able to speak his mind and there was no-one to annoy him.
“The reason this Arena is empty is because I made it so, I am the guy that runs this company. Not James, Not the so called “ROH Originals” hell not even the guys at HDNet, this is My Show! It’s called ROH for a reason, it’s Randy Orton’s House! This is where I liked to play, it’s where I liked to hurt, and ultimately, I like to destroy the hopes and dreams of anyone that stands before me, in this ring, backstage, by my car, in a house show. No matter where you are, Randy Orton always gets his way. Take No Prisoners was something different. I had beat Aries, It was my time to celebrate. I can only celebrate the way I want too, that was to end Austin Aries career. But you couldn’t let me have that could you; you had to interfere in my show, MY COMPANY! And you let him escape unharmed. Who do you think I am some lackey that is going to sit back and take this? I know your name. I know who you are. What you do. You see December 20th 2009; you took your hand and put them against my neck and head, and dropped me down to the mat. You surprised me, the fact you had the balls to attack me. The guy that can put you out of your misery just like THAT! From that day forward I knew what my real target was, If I could overtake and have Ring of Honor for myself, then the job of finding you would be much easier. I tried to be nice about it, give everyone a chance. But they fought back, but time after time, boot after boot, injury after injury, they finally started stepping down. They realized that Randy Orton is the real prophecy of this business, not you. Many people think I might be schizophrenic and that voices appear in my head but that’s just myself blocking the positive emotions that come into my head. I sit here with people surrounding me, not for my security, but for your own. It just takes one swift movement and I could kill you right there on this mat and I will become the greatest to have ever lived. But why don’t I do that. Lets just say, the time is not right, but don’t think you have it all too easy. I want you to sweat and when the wind blows I want you to feel it’s chilling breeze against your skin and know that your just as mortal as everyone else. Except I am the one that cannot be destroyed. You tried once, and you failed. You tried again, again you failed. People say the third time is lucky, for you it will be the last day you ever walk on this earth. There will be sacrifices along the way, but the blood will be on your hands, I am Driven to do something that no man has ever been able to do before. I will take any enemy and I will make sure they NEVER, set foot on this earth again. You have been warned, watch the PPV and you will get a taste of what is coming to you soon enough. Chris Benoit, your going to become my first sacrifice and Ricky Steamboat is next, after that it’s my decision. Say goodbye to the Randy Orton you have known since 2002, Say hello to the new Randy Orton, No longer a Legend Killer, just a soulless walking nightmare ready to strike at any given second.”
Orton slowly bows his head down and slowly places the Microphone on the floor, Orton then slowly picks up the World Heavyweight Championship and slowly looks up, his eyes just bloodshot as he takes the Championship and slowly raises it above his head, Orton then drops to his knees and places the championship back onto the floor, just holding his arms out and begins to mouth something, almost like a sacrifice offering as Orton just looks down at the title still mouthing away and the rest of Revolution look on somewhat bewildered. Orton then slowly takes the Championship and slowly leaves the ring as the cameras fade to black for commercial.
Back from commercials and the crowd is now in the Arena as Striker and Styles have not said anything as they are just in shock of what they have heard and experienced right before there eyes as they both take a deep breath and carry on with the show. The first match being Matt Hardy against Ring of Honor Pure Champion Chris Benoit. Benoit was out on a mission to prove that the ROH World Championship would be his, Benoit just not taking any liberty with Hardy just beating him from pillar to post, getting Hardy to tap out too the crossface but not letting go just looking like he is going to snap Hardy’s neck, officials trying there best to pull Benoit off of Hardy and they finally do as Benoit just with a look of death in his eyes. A message being sent to Orton that Benoit too can make sacrifices in the pursuit to gain what he wants. Benoit looks to leave the ring when from behind someone attacks him and as the hood is pulled down we see Randy Orton as he gets down to his knees and once again starts to look down at Benoit almost like a sacrifice ritual as we cut to commercials.
Back from commercials and we see Benoit being tended too by medical officials who are just looking all around making sure Orton doesn’t appear and attack Benoit, however Benoit is insistent that no matter what Orton throws at him, he will come back twice as hard and that the Championship will be coming home with him.
The main event of the show saw Revolution member Triple H going up against Steve Corino and in a hard fought match it was Triple H getting the victory with the pedigree, after the match though Orton came into the ring and Hunter just instantly got out. Orton licking his lips as he slowly takes Corino to his feet and without any remorse just RKO’s him down to the mat, but Orton just sits up and twists his head, something is not right as he slowly rolls out of the ring and looks underneath and pulls out a table and slides it into the ring, setting it up and then dowsing it in lighter fluid and setting it on fire. Corino gets placed on the top rope as Orton looks back the fire which looks like has put him in a trance it seems, Corino beginning to fight back and pushing Orton away as Corino jumps off the top rope right into the clutches of Orton who drives him through the flaming table with an earth shattering RKO. The crowd are in shock but then go silent as Orton slowly tilts his head and examines the convulsing body of Corino. Orton looking like he is about to do the sacrifice pose again but he slowly stands to his feet and looks down and extends his arms. Orton then slowly looks up, his mouth twitching as Orton runs across the ring and punt kicks Corino right in the skull, Orton though not finished punt kick Corino four more times in the head. Afterwards Orton falls down to his knees and extends his arms, the all too familiar sacrifice look Orton gives as Corino has just stopped moving. The crowd just in shock and is almost silent, the commentary has not said a word since Orton came into the ring. Orton just kneeling there not moving an inch looking at Corino as the cameras fade to black.

The next week of HDNet begins and there is a chill in the air, this psychotic almost inhuman monster Randy Orton has become, has changed the entire complexion of Ring of Honor. No-one is feeling safe and everyone is now as paranoid as they have ever been, even people who don’t like each other are looking out for each other. The Revolution has reached a new level and no-one is safe. During the show in the matches everyone who had a match was take down to the ring by security and there was many wrestlers around ringside just in case an attack happened again. However Orton and The Revolution did not show up at all as the show went off with no problems, in fact the next two weeks worth of shows there was no Revolution in sight. People slowly starting to relax as they thought maybe Orton had just lost his mind and needed to vent his frustrations. Chris Benoit, didn’t buy it though as he continued to prove he was not going to back down, just beating person after person trying to gain the momentum come the PPV.

The final HDNet show before the PPV and everyone was now behind Chris Benoit, he maybe from a rival company but everyone knew that Benoit was there best shot in taking down Randy Orton as many of the Ring of Honor’s faithful had been taken out or where missing with no-one able to trace them. Benoit now had a huge burden on his shoulders, too not only protect himself, but to protect Ring of Honor and to keep his word that he would win the World Championship. Benoit went into his final match before the PPV, against none other then Triple H. Ring of Honor Roster members where around ringside just watching on as Benoit and Hunter had a wrestling classic. Benoit able to get the win with a reverse of a pedigree into a backslide. Hunter though not happy started attacking Benoit but Taz was first into action attacking Hunter trying to get some momentum going into his match in which Hunter chooses his opponent. Everyone then started to get into the ring and an all out mass brawl began when the ever so noticeable music began too play and everyone just stopped and looked at the entrance ramp. Not knowing that from behind Randy Orton had slowly slipped into the ring and began taking anyone out he could with a baseball bat he was holding, people were being attacked from everywhere when it came down to Benoit and Orton. Both men just slowly circling the ring as Orton swung his bat and Benoit stepped back. Both men just looking each other in the eye. Benoit giving the gut throat gesture when from behind he gets taken down with a sledgehammer shot from Triple H. Orton then slowly dropped to his knees and gave the sacrifice pose we have become accustomed too as Orton slowly lifts his head up and smiles. Whatever it was at Take No Prisoners, it sparked something in Orton that has filled his body with pure evil and now Orton seemingly has lost his mind and is now looking unstoppable. The show fades to black slowly.

Heyman looks to attack Edge but gets a steel chair to the face just taking him out of the equation. Edge just with this crazed look in his eyes as he waits for Lesnar to get to his feet and slams the chair over his skull as the sound of a gunshot echoes throughout the arena. Edge slowly places Lesnar up against the steel steps as Edge steps back and psyches himself up, the crowd cheering for Edge who runs and hits the spear on Lesnar who was propped against the steps. Edge then looks underneath the ring and pulls out another steel chair. The ref shouting at Edge not too do anything with it but Edge just slams the chair right into the skull of the referee. Edge has just lost it as he waits for Lesnar to turn around and slams the chair right into Lesnar’s skull again, Lesnar wobbles as Edge slams the chair for a third time into Lesnar’s skull, Lesnar down to one knee as Edge just shouts out like a war cry and just slams the chair so hard that Lesnar’s head goes through it. The crowd are chanting “holy shit” as Lesnar has just been instantly busted open with blood just pouring everywhere. Security and referees come down to ringside trying to separate both men but Edge has just snapped as he starts attacking the officials and taking them out. Edge is looking at the entrance ramp just waiting for the next lot of people. Edge just on the prowl for blood and violence. The crowd are just cheering for Edge who just throws the near unconscious body of Lesnar in the ring. Edge gets in the ring and waits for Lesnar to get to his feet running across the ring and taking him down with a spear. Edge then covers Lesnar, the crowd counting but it doesn’t matter as the referee has been taken out. Edge just uses the ref’s arm and slams it down three times. Edge getting to his feet and claiming he is the winner and the crowd are cheering along with Edge.
Edge is celebrating when we see Lesnar slowly make it back to his feet, blood just pouring down his face, the look of someone who wants to murder the next person his sees. Lesnar just moving his shoulders up and down as Edge turns around right into a decapitation clothesline. Edge stumbles to his feet and gets tackled hard into the corner where Lesnar with hard shoulder tackles followed by picking up Edge onto his shoulder and launching him over the top rope and dumping onto the concrete on the outside. Lesnar just rolls to the outside in pursuit of Edge. This is no longer a match between these two but just a straight out fight. Lesnar’s face the crimson mask as he takes Edge and rams him spine first into the steel post and then into the barricade and then back into the steel post. More security officials and trainers and doctors come down too ringside trying to stop this mayhem but Lesnar doesn’t listen as he throws Edge into the officials just knocking them down. Lesnar slowly picks up Edge and then looks at the steel steps. Lesnar picks up Edge onto his shoulders and runs to the steps looking to go for a powerslam onto them but Edge counters right at the last second as Lesnar gets flying into and over the steel steps with a sickening thud. Lesnar slowly makes it too his feet as Edge runs and jumps onto the steel steps and jumps off into the clutches of Lesnar who throws Edge onto his shoulders going for the F-5 but Edge counters with the Edgecution.
Both men just down on the outside as Edge slowly gets to his feet, this is a fight that has gotten way, way out of control as Edge slowly looks underneath the ring and pulls out a table and sets that up on the outside. Edge slowly waiting for Lesnar to get to his feet going for another spear but Lesnar picks up Edge and drives him through the table with the F-5 as the table just shatters in pieces everywhere. Lesnar just rotating his arms as roaring out in victory a Edge lay in the wreckage not moving. Heyman slowly making it to Lesnar as both men look down and laugh at Edge. The match didn’t even start but these two men beat the crap out of each other, Lesnar though had the last laugh as he slowly begins to stumbles back to the locker room and EMT’s come to check on the condition of Edge slowly putting him onto a stretcher and wheeling him up the aisle way and backstage as everyone is still wondering what is going to happen after this just took place.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we all know what happened last month when Brock Lesnar cost Edge his chance to become pure champion in the Gauntlet Match and I think this was just a receipt by Edge back to Lesnar. However Lesnar was again able to get the last laugh as Edge was sent out on a stretcher. I don’t know where these two go from here. But I can only see it getting much worse before it gets any better”
We go backstage and we see Edge being put into an ambulance and driven away as we also see a Limo pulling up and Randy Orton and the rest of Revolution (Triple H and Lashley) come out as well.

“Well what can you say, I am still perplexed and what was with Raven, he didn’t defend himself and that mark over his eye, has that got anything to do with what is going on. Taz won this match tonight but this rivalry with Triple H is far from over”
“Well you have that correct but whatever happened tonight, is that a prelude to what Taz is going to do to Hunter, or is Hunter going to be able to squeak out another victory. This rivalry has just become all the more important too both men”
