The crowd boos as Barrett’s music hits and crumbles to the mat.
“Here is your winner and Mr. Money in the bank Wade Barrett!” Finke announces to more boos. The official now comes over and hands Barrett the new briefcase, holding his arm up to a mixed response, mostly boos. He wipes the blood from his head and then heads out of the ring, the briefcase in hand as he now walks up to the back the winner of the MITB.
We then see a quick shot of all three men in the main event arriving in a three way split screen. Then it’s time for the next match.
X Division Championship
“Ladies and Gentleman” Finkle calls “the following contest to scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit and is the finals of the X Division Championship tournament! For the WWF X Division Championship!”
*Play Hayabusa*
From the curtain, through his entrance smoke emerges the Phoenix Hayabusa. A loud roar greets him as he heads towards the ring, he walks the long ramp as 70 thousand look on and runs the last length, clapping hands with the fans and leaping into the ring through the ropes to stand and then throws off his robe and waits for his opponent.
“He was the last X Division Champion before it was unified with the Intercontinental Championship a year ago. Now the Phoenix has risen through the rounds of this amazing tournament to get here. Will he be the new X Division Champion here tonight?” JR calls.
“He some big competition JR” King replies.
“That he does.”
*Play Ziggler*
Ziggler strides out with a cocky grin on his face, putting his hands over his bleached hair and flicking it out at the crowd as Sherri grins and claps behind him. She is dressed to impress in jewelry and an evening gown. Ziggler also has shinny new tights and short jacket for the occasion. He looks out smugly at the thousands of faces that greet him before finally reaching the ring and stepping in to look across condescendingly at Hayabusa as his music dies down.
Howard Finkle now steps between them as Sherri removes Ziggler’s jacket and stands behind him with it, the two finalists staring across at each other as they are introduced. Finkle now speaks.
“Introducing first in this corner. From Yatsushiro, Kumamoto, Japan. Weighting in at 220 pounds. He is former 1 time WWF Tag Team Champion and 2 time former WWF X Division Champion! The Phoenix! Hayabusa!” The crowd roars in response as Hayabusa nods at them with respect them turns back to stare back across at his opponent.
“And his opponent from Hollywood Florida! Weighting in at 213 pounds. He represents the company and is accompanied by his manager Sensational Sherri! Dolph Ziggler!” Ziggler holds his arms out and looks around to heavy boos, shrugging them off and chatting with Sherri as she screams at them.
The referee then steps in as Finkle leaves, Sherri now giving Dolph as last minute few words of advice before stepping to the floor in his corner. The referee now takes the shiny new X Division Championship from the timekeeper and holds it up for all sides to see, then shows it to both challengers before handing it to the timekeeper, getting between the men as they stare across from their corners, Ziggler trash talking and then…calls for the bell. Here we go.
The two men now circle each other, holding out their hands to feel each other out but as Hayabusa comes in to look up Ziggler withdraws. His grins and struts as the fans boo heavily.
“Ziggler very confident. Certainly he feels he should have just been given the resurrected X Division title back when this tournament was announced in January. But he has to earn it, as he has no doubt in his other matches. But this is Hayabusa now” JR calls as the two men circle each other again now.
“It’s a foregone conclusion JR! Hayabusa isn’t in Ziggler’s league. None of those X midgets are” King responds.
They again got to lock up and again Ziggler withdraws, but this time he runs his hands through his hair and goes to flick the water on Hayabusa when Hayabusa springs to life and hammers into him with knife edge chops, finally delivering a final one that sends Ziggler to the mat and now rolling out of the ring. Sherri now runs over with a towel and patches Ziggler down now, as he yells abuse at the taunting front row. Ziggler then takes a breath and then goes into the ring again…right into another chop taking him down. Ziggler backs into the ropes now and looks on wide eyed at Hayabusa as he stands. Hayabusa gestures for him to bring it. Ziggler now looks annoyed as he rises, cursing some and then circling before coming in again. The two now finally lock up, Ziggler now going straight behind for the rear waist lock, The Phoenix trying to reach for the legs and then reversing that into one of his own. Ziggler tries to pry the hands apart then reverses again into his own now. Hayabusa now runs around to try and throw Ziggler off but then ducks down and sends Ziggler flying through the ropes to the outside mats by the aisle way. Sherri now runs in to check on her man again but doesn’t get chance as Hayabusa runs into the far side ropes, across the ring, jumping up and clearing the top rope, but keeping Ziggler guessing by brings his feet around to land on the apron then jumps up onto the middle ropes and down onto Ziggler with the assai moonsault! The crowd goes nuts for that as both men lay out on the black mats now. Hayabusa now taunts the crowd and heads into the ring as they cheer heavily for him. Sherri now comes to help Dolph rise up but the referee yells at her to back up. Sherri being Sherri of course screams back at him. Ziggler though as this goes on is finally able to get up and get back onto the apron.
Hayabusa now though comes in for him, grabbing him by the head as he comes in, but Ziggler is able to shoulder thrust into his gut, then jump up and over the ropes, over Hayabusa to land on his feet in the ring then runs for the ropes comes in…right into a spinning heel kick from Hayabusa taking him down and covering for a quick 1 count.
Hayabusa now pulls Ziggler up off the mat but Ziggler now springs to life and nails him with two hard shots to the head sending him reeling now and then coming in. He backs him into the ropes for the Irish whip but Hayabusa reverses that and shoots him off into the ropes right into a dropsault from Hayabusa. He then turns Ziggler over, hooks the legs drops back and locks in the Mexican surfboard stretch! Ziggler yells out in pain, the crowd roaring for him to tap, Sherri screaming at the top of her lungs for him not to. The referee now gets in his face asking Ziggler if he wants to give up and despite his screams of anguish he continues to shake his head. But Hayabusa mistakenly puts his shoulders down, the referee counting for 2 which forces Hayabusa to break the hold.
“Great call by the referee like it or not Hayabusa’s shoulders were down” JR calls.
Ziggler though now rolls away in pain, trying to rotate some feeling back into his shoulders and kick out his knees as Hayabusa comes in. Hayabusa now lifting Hayabusa up and backing him into the corner, working away now with hard, sharp knife edge chops. The crowd wooing and reacting after each. But as he goes for a third Ziggler as able to bring a forearm up to the head, Hayabusa reacts by kicking him in the gut and then Irish whipping him out of the corner, Ziggler though reverses that and whips Hayabusa into the corner but as he comes in Hayabusa reaches up and uses his hands on the ropes to heave him legs up and jump over and behind Ziggler as he following him in. Ziggler now turns around now in the opposite corner but as Hayabusa runs in jumps up goes behind and nails the spinning neckbreaker.
“First big move Ziggler has got all match. That cocky smile has been wiped from his face now. Obviously Hayabusa is not as easy as he thought” JR calls.
“Yeah but he’s back in it now! Come on Dolph!” King yells echoing Sherri’s sentiments on the apron.
Both men now rise up again and now Ziggler nails the dropkick sending Hayabusa through the ropes to the outside. He stands again now as Hayabusa picks himself up on the mats and runs forward for the baseball slide but Hayabusa is able to grab his legs in the wheelbarrow position swing him around and drop Ziggler grin first on the security wall! The crowds roars for that one, Sherri almost crying now as Ziggler flops down onto the mats. Hayabusa now lifts him up and throws him back first into the corner of the rails, kicking away at the chest with straight kicks and then whipping him to the ring post, Dolph through puts his arms out and stops himself turning as Hayabusa runs in, leaping up but Ziggler catches him and heaves him over with almost a flapjack sending Hayabusa flying down face first into the steel ring post with a mighty splat! You hear screams of female fans for that as Hayabusa falls and lays out cold on the floor, Ziggler now finally having time to take a breath. A replay of that vicious move is shown and then we are back to live action as Dolph comes in on the barely rising Hayabusa now. He now lifts Hayabusa’s face up and punches him hard in the mouth, and again before picking him up and sliding him back into the ring following him in. Then running up and nailing the fame-asser and covering for 1…2….NO! First near fall of the match as Hayabusa is just able to gets his shoulder up. Ziggler though shakes his head in disbelief and covers again for another 2, and again for another. Ziggler now slams the mat in frustration and stands.
He now comes in and lifts Hayabusa’s head off the mat and locks in a headlock, syncing it in and as he takes Hayabusa down to the mat. Hayabusa though is able to power onto his feet and drive elbows into the gut to break it. But Ziggler runs in and takes Hayabusa down with a drop toe hold, jumping over and locking in a side headlock on the mat again. Hayabusa though is again able to stand in it and this time a hip thrust following by a hard couple of chops and then kick to the head breaks Ziggler and sends him stumbling back off of him, this shoots him off the ropes across the ring into the opposite ropes and in but Ziggler ducks the jumping back kick attempt then hits the ropes again running in and jumps up, hooking Hayabusa in the crucifix and taking him over into a pin for 1…2…NO! Nearly!
Ziggler now lifts Hayabusa up onto his shoulders and sends him over and down onto his knees for the fireman’s carry gut buster for 1….2….NO! Again Hayabusa just barely, barely gets the shoulder up. Ziggler now drops away pounding the mat in frustration as Sherri gets into a screaming match again with the referee on weather that was a 3 count.
“You think Dolph takes Hayabusa seriously now? You think he takes the X Division seriously now?” JR asks over the roaring crowd.
“Keep on him Dolph! Hit your finisher and get out of there!” King does not reply.
Ziggler when he finally does rise goes now to the second rope, yelling for Hayabusa to stand and when he does flies off with the double axe handle…but at the last second Hayabusa jumps up and nails him with a dropkick! The crowd goes crazy as Ziggler falls back to the mat holding his chest. When finally Hayabusa gets to his feet he runs the ring and jumps up onto the top rope and down onto Ziggler with a springboard moonsault reverse DDT! And covers for 1…2…NO! Ziggler just kicks out.
Both men now slowly rising showing the effects of this one, both tired and hurt as they rise. Ziggler now running in right into a spinning back kick, standing and coming in right into another. On the second rise though Dolph runs back into the ropes and in, but Hayabusa is able to hook the arm, flip him up and down to the mat with the tiger bomb for 1…2…NO! Ziggler just kicks out again! Hayabusa now holds his head as he stands in shock but shakes it off and stays focused, coming in on Ziggler as he rolls away. Grabbing him as he turns around right into the spinning falcon arrow but Ziggler is able to put his legs down and land on his feet! Hammering Hayabusa in the gut and then keeping the head locked takes him over with a snap vertical suplex into a cover for 2. Ziggler now picks Hayabusa up by the arm and Irish whips him into the corner, but as he reaches it Hayabusa leaps up onto the top rope to go for the springboard but before he can Ziggler comes in underneath the legs of powerbombs him off the top rope to the mat below! Hayabusa quiver on the mat out of it as the crowd can’t help but roar for that one, but it turns back to yells for Hayabusa as Ziggler grabs the legs and jumps over into a cover for 1…2….NO! Hayabusa again gets out!
The massive collective voice of the 80 thousand strong now erupt in chants of “HAYABUSA!” four claps “HAYABUSA!” As Both men lay on the mat in exhaustion and pain.
Ziggler now is the first to pull himself up, Sherri now screaming at him to finish it. To which he yells back “shut up women!” Before going in and heaving the Phoenix up….but Hayabusa springs to life, jumps up him and nails the shinning wizard! The crowd explodes as Dolph falls to his knee with a glazed look in his eyes and falls back like a tree to the mat. Hayabusa though still out of it lays on the mat unable to take advantage. The crowd now scream for him to stand and when he finally does he now heads over out and onto the top rope, signaling for the Phoenix splash the crowd getting louder and louder as he rises up for it and flies off with the Phoenix 450 Splash…but at the last second Ziggler moves out of the way leaving Hayabusa to crash and burn on the mat! That lets the air out of the people with a massive gasp and groan of disappointment.
Both men lay out of it for almost a minute, the crowd now clapping them on and Ziggler now stirs and stands. He now as more determined look that ever as his hair and stood up on end, sweat dripping in buckets from his forehead as he yells and gestures for Hayabusa to get up. When he finally does, using the ropes and turns Ziggler runs in and behind for the Zig-Zag…but Hayabusa is able to block and spin of that, hooking Ziggler and up for the Falcon Arrow, but Ziggler kicks down out of that, ducks the closeline goes behind and drops him with the Zig-Zag for 1…2…3!
The boos sound out of Ziggler collapses to the mat holding his head, his music kicking in and Sherri jumps up for joy and runs into the ring to join him. She now runs over and grabs the title off the official and takes it to him herself, Ziggler taking it from her and holding it to him.
“Here is your winner and NEW X Division Champion! Dolph Ziggler!” Finkle announces to loud boos.
Ziggler now stands, sweat dripping off him but grinning as he holds the title up high, kisses it and then runs to the rope and holds it up for all sides yelling “YES! I told you! I told you all!” Sherri elated, clapping with a broad grin of her own. She then comes in to grab his hand when he turns and drives the title belt into her head! Knocking her out cold to the mat.
Ziggler’s music stops as everyone looks on in utter shock.
“What the hell? What the hell was that for? You won the title? Why? Damit! That is disgusting! Did you see how happy she was for him! What a no good son of bitch!” JR rants in anger.
“He has to have a reason JR. She was holding him back…but….wow!” Is all King can reply.
“You must be kidding me!”
The boos are thunderous as Ziggler stands over the prone, sprawled out cold Sherri with a look of distain on his face for his now obviously former manager. He then flips the X Division title up onto his shoulder, the smug grin returning as he turns away from her and leaves with his new gold but without the women he arrived with. The crowd yell abuse as him as he walks up the ramp, he responds to none of it just looking very pleased with himself as EMT’s now hit the ring to help the out cold Sherri Martel on the mat. A stretcher being brought up. Ziggler turns back to watch this with the grin then turns back and heads up to the back with his title belt as his music hits again.
“What a no good son of a bitch! But be it as it may Dolph Ziggler is the X Division Champion. But what does this mean for the Company? We need answers. What the hell was this about?” JR asks as we see Sherri being loaded onto the stretcher when we cut.
When we come back we get a helicopter shot of the dome as the crowd roar and then cut back to inside as the bell sounds for the next match.
Women’s 6 Way Falls Count Anywhere Elimination Match
*Play Entrances*
Trish gets a massive pop due to this being her home town. Kong also gets a hell of a reaction. Daffney receives loud boos.
The referee looks between the women nervously as they glare across the ring at each other looking like they are ready to tear each other apart. He then takes the championship belt from the reluctant Daffney, all the other contenders looking at it as he holds it up and then hands it out of the ring, getting between them and calling for the bell.
As soon as it sounds all 6 women charge into each other, fists and feet flying everywhere as they meet in a massive chaotic brawl where it’s every women for themselves. Kong throws aside Velvet Sky, and then hammers away Trish as on the other side Kendra hammers away Hamada and Daffney. The two monsters then turn to face each other as the only two left standing, sneering at each other and charging in to collide like two stags. Kendra is the first to reel back and hammer into Kong, Kong reels from that then slugs into Kendra. Back and forth the fists go until Kendra goes for a big boot but Kong ducks it, grabs her by the waist and takes her over and down hard into the mat with a side to side belly to belly. Kong stands from that as Sky runs in and nails her with a dropkick to send her standing and stumbling back into Trish who grabs her from behind and drives her down with a reverse DDT. The two blonds now go for each other going back and forth vicious when from out of nowhere goes Hamada who takes them both down with a jumping double closeline. Hamada then stands and takes Kendra down with the jumping grabbing headbut, then the same to Kong to keep her down. She then goes in on Trish and takes her over with a Saito suplex going for a cover but it’s broken up by a standing senton from Velvet Sky.
Sky now hammers into Hamada then drops her with a DDT, but as she goes for the cover Daffney is back and heaves her up by her strands of hair, kicking away into her face and then taking her over with a double under hook suplex into a pin for 2. Daffney now stands with a cry of rage and charges in for Trish now but is intercepted with a hard big boot from Kendra that turns her inside out and leaves her out on the mat. Kendra then picks up Hamada, sending her down with a hard scoop slam. She then charges for the rising Kong but Kong ducks down on the ropes sending Kendra tumbling over and out from the big boot attempt to tumble to the mats below. As she stands Trish now sees her and vaults over and down with a cross body plancha. Then as they both stand from that Hamada now runs the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive but they are both able to side step it and send Hamada headfirst into the security wall. But as they turn from that Daffney is on the apron and flies off with an axe handle. Both Kendra and Trish catch that but now as the crowds building excitement gets louder Kong runs the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive that takes them all out, all women now falling to the mats and laying in a heap and the crowd roar and clap them on.
After a few moments Kong is the first to rise and sees Velvet as she now dives over the ropes down with a cross body but Kong catches her out the air, turns and drives her back first into the ring post! Then as she turns from that Trish is now on the security wall and flies off with a diving closeline taking her out! Meanwhile now Kendra and Hamada have risen and are trading heated shots back and forth until Kendra grabs Ayako around the neck in the throat thrust and throws her hand over the security barrier into the front row as the rabid fans part. Kendra now comes forward and climbs over the barrier coming after her now as she rises. The two slugging it back and forth as they go further back into the crowd now. But now Daffney is up and goes under the ring pulling out her trusty lead pipe, running forward and blasting Kong in the back with it and then going over with an evil grin, over the barrier and towards the battling Kendra and Hamada. Heaving the pipe to bring it down across the back of Kendra’s head taking her down but then as she looks up from that she gets blasted by Hamada who then hooks her and suplexes her over and down onto the concrete arena floor, disappearing amongst the sea of humanity.
Meanwhile back at ringside Trish has now risen and grabs the stirring Kong up, driving her face down into the ring apron and then going over and now pulling out a table from under the ring, setting it up and then seeing Sky rise head up the ring steps to dive off with a hurricanrana taking her over and down on the mats. Trish stands from that and seeing Kong rise from that heads back up onto the steps and flies off with another hurricanrana…but this time Kong catches her on her shoulders in the powerbomb position, moving forward around as Trish fights to try and get out of it desperately then crowd building in noise of anticipation as they move back towards the table…Kong then heaving down and power bombing Trish through the table! She then kneels down and covers for 1…2…3! The crowd boos, not happy about it, but Trish Stratus is eliminated from the match!
“That one of the favorites gone early. Man! That one mistake cost her dearly there” JR calls.
Kong now stands as Hamada now comes back in with a chair and drives it down across Kong’s head taking her down and out and covering for 2. Velvet Sky is now back, running up the apron and across it as Hamada stands and down onto her with a diving closeline taking her down. She then heaves Hamada up and throws her back into the ring, following her in.
“Thank God” King calls “their back in the ring.”
“For now” JR responds.
She now heaves Hamada up and takes her over with the northern lights suplex, picking her and then driving her down with the spike DDT for 1…2…NO! Hamada gets her shoulder up.
Sky now stands and heads over, out and onto the top rope rising up and flying off with a moonsault…right into the clutches on Kendra who drives her down into the mat with the running power slam for 1…2…NO! The crowd let out a massive reaction of shock as sky gets the shoulder up. Kendra herself frowns down at that one, and she isn’t known for showing emotion. Kendra then stand and holds out her arms signaling for the sleeper hold as Sky stumbles her feet and stumbles back right into it! Kendra locks her hands and locks the hold in tight! She then starts to swings her around so her feet leave the mat, then drops back and lock in the leg scissors on the mat…as Sky taps out. Kendra releases her clasp and Velvet Sky is eliminated.
Kendra now stands from that and rolls Sky away into officials who help her out of the ring turning…right as Daffney flies off with the top rope with steel chair and drives it down into her head! The chair seat folding up so that the chair hangs around her neck as she stumbles back! Daffney then seeing this runs up, grabs the chair and delivers the Daff knees face breaker with the chair for 1…2…3! Kendra is gone!
“Oh my God!” Yells King.
“Well…indeed King. Daffney has eliminated her former partner, the women she managed to multiple women’s titles. Wow!” JR adds.
The crowd are almost in shock as Kendra is rolled out of the ring, Daffney standing with a broad grin and cackling evilly at this. She then turns…right into Hamada who scoops her up and drives her down with the AP cross for 1…2…3! Daffney is gone!
“Oh my God! Daffney is eliminated! Hamada has eliminated Daffney and that means that we are going to have a new WWF Women’s Champion here tonight and it will be either Hamada or Awesome Kong!” JR calls over the noise of the cheering crowd.
Both women left now stand and stare across the ring from each other as the crowd buzz. These two have had amazing blazing wars over the past year over this title and it comes down to this. One of them will walk out with the title on the grandest stage of them all. But who?
Both women charge forward almost like the match has begun again and start trading shots back and forth, Hamada swings with a closeline but Kong ducks it and grabs her from behind for a belly to back suplex but Hamada rolls over and down her back to stand and then dropkicks Kong in the back sending her stumbling into the corner. She then runs up going for the corner splash but Kong moves and leaves her to crash down into the corner, then runs the ropes, coming in as Hamada turns and taking her down with the body avalanche, she then as Hamada falls hits the ropes again and comes in with the body splash but Hamada is able to roll out of the way leaving Kong to crash belly first into the canvas. Then as Kong rises Hamada runs in, grabs her head, leaps up and then rolls back driving Kong’s head into the mat with the jumping DDT and covers for 2. Hamada now stands and heads over to the corner, climbing up onto the top rope as Kong stands and flies off taking her down with a missile dropkick and covering again for 2. Spinning heel kick followed by a leg drop for 2. Hamada now heads back up onto the top rope, but Kong is now back on her feet and comes in, throwing Hamada down hard into the mat off the top with both hands. She then runs, jumps up and down this time successfully hitting the running body splash for 1…2…NO! Hamada kicks out.
Kong now goes over and grabs the chair from earlier, turning with it but Hamada is stood and runs in, grabbing the chair from her and taking Kong’s head off with it before then hitting the Hamada-Chan cutter for 1….2….NO!!! The roof explodes off the dome, the 80 thousand roaring in shock as Kong kicks out! Hamada now falls back holding her head in shock, just looking on in disbelief but then stands and gets a determined look on her face. She now heads over to the corner, rising up and flies off with a moonsault down onto Kong for 1…2….NO!!! Kong kick out again and Hamada slams the mat in frustration.
She now pulls Kong up and goes for the cutter again but Kong now comes to life, hammering into her, kicks Hamada in the gut, heaver her up and drives her down with the Awesome Bomb for 1….2….NO!!! Hamada kicks out.
Kong now gets a new look in her eye, heaving Hamada up and driving her down now with the Implant Buster! But instead off covering she head over the to the corner…rising up on the top rope as the fans stand in unison, roaring in anticipation as the giant women rises and flies off with the Awesome Splash from the top rope body onto Hamada and covers for 1…2…3!!!
The crowd explodes as Kong’s music hits and she rolls off Hamada as Finkle announces it.
“Here is your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Awesome Kong!” The crowd roars to that as she stands now and is handed the title belt.
Kong stumbles back but with a mighty cry of her own, clenches her teeth she pumps that belt into the air and holds it up as the crowd cheers loudly.
“Well there it is. She survived, she tore through them all and the one known as Awesome Kong is once again WWF Women’s Champion here at Wrestlemania! What a moment” JR calls.
Kong now throws the belt over her back and leaves, leaving what is left of Hamada on canvas to help as she marches up the long ramp to the back with her prize.
“Awesome Kong is the women to beat in the WWF and after seeing that I don’t know if any women is up to the task” JR calls as we fade out.
Interlude #1
We are now back in the companies locker room, loud cheering going on with much smugness as Ziggler grins and holds up his newly won X Division title as Gene Okerlund comes in.
“Well if I may interrupt Mr. Cornette” He goes up to Jim “what when on out there? Where you aware of what Ziggler planned to do to Sherri?”
“Oh yes I was. See I heard JR ask what these means for the company. Well see every company has to sometimes cut their losses and fire the ones who aren’t cutting the mustered. And Sherri me and you have done a lot over these past two years, we took both forms of the Company to the top! But at the end of the day you weren’t cutting it anymore. That’s for Dolph to explain. But Sherri darlin’ when you wake up and see this I want you to know that it isn’t personal. It’s just business.”
“Well…Dolph I have to go to you. Indeed you are the new X Division Champion. But why did you do that out there? That was heinous!” Okerlund says as Ziggler chuckles at him.
He now brushes back the campaign in his hair and holds his X title up like Flair as he speaks.
“She had it coming Gene. See as Cornette said she wasn’t cutting it anymore and I know that because I was the one that suggested we terminate her. See one year ago now I signed up as her client because she promised to take me to the top, she promised me the world! But how many titles did I win in this past year?” He holds up his hand in a 0 “try zero. I on my own incentive got myself in the X Division title tournament and I on my own won this title for myself. And now the X Division means something, now those X Midgets actually have a man who will make this division and this title the biggest thing in the WWF! And I will do so without Sherri. Maybe if she had lived up to her end of the deal she’d be here with us.”
With that he goes back to parting with Barrett as Cornette steps forward to the mic again.
“Yeah and that’s two down. We have the money in the bank, we have the X Division Championship. And now it’s on to the second half! Before the night is done the Company will have ended the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania streak and we will have the WWF Championship! Now if you will excuse me I have to go and see how Miz and Jericho are doing. They got work to do!” With that Cornette slaps his two winning boys on the back for a job well done and head out of shot as Okerlund turns back to the camera with a sigh.
“Well…maybe we will get more on this tomorrow on Raw. But for now. Back to you JR and King.”
Okerlund now walks off shaking his head as Ziggler and Barrett pour Champaign over each other in loud celebration.

X Division Championship
“Ladies and Gentleman” Finkle calls “the following contest to scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit and is the finals of the X Division Championship tournament! For the WWF X Division Championship!”
*Play Hayabusa*
From the curtain, through his entrance smoke emerges the Phoenix Hayabusa. A loud roar greets him as he heads towards the ring, he walks the long ramp as 70 thousand look on and runs the last length, clapping hands with the fans and leaping into the ring through the ropes to stand and then throws off his robe and waits for his opponent.
“He was the last X Division Champion before it was unified with the Intercontinental Championship a year ago. Now the Phoenix has risen through the rounds of this amazing tournament to get here. Will he be the new X Division Champion here tonight?” JR calls.
“He some big competition JR” King replies.
“That he does.”
*Play Ziggler*
Ziggler strides out with a cocky grin on his face, putting his hands over his bleached hair and flicking it out at the crowd as Sherri grins and claps behind him. She is dressed to impress in jewelry and an evening gown. Ziggler also has shinny new tights and short jacket for the occasion. He looks out smugly at the thousands of faces that greet him before finally reaching the ring and stepping in to look across condescendingly at Hayabusa as his music dies down.
Howard Finkle now steps between them as Sherri removes Ziggler’s jacket and stands behind him with it, the two finalists staring across at each other as they are introduced. Finkle now speaks.
“Introducing first in this corner. From Yatsushiro, Kumamoto, Japan. Weighting in at 220 pounds. He is former 1 time WWF Tag Team Champion and 2 time former WWF X Division Champion! The Phoenix! Hayabusa!” The crowd roars in response as Hayabusa nods at them with respect them turns back to stare back across at his opponent.
“And his opponent from Hollywood Florida! Weighting in at 213 pounds. He represents the company and is accompanied by his manager Sensational Sherri! Dolph Ziggler!” Ziggler holds his arms out and looks around to heavy boos, shrugging them off and chatting with Sherri as she screams at them.
The referee then steps in as Finkle leaves, Sherri now giving Dolph as last minute few words of advice before stepping to the floor in his corner. The referee now takes the shiny new X Division Championship from the timekeeper and holds it up for all sides to see, then shows it to both challengers before handing it to the timekeeper, getting between the men as they stare across from their corners, Ziggler trash talking and then…calls for the bell. Here we go.
The two men now circle each other, holding out their hands to feel each other out but as Hayabusa comes in to look up Ziggler withdraws. His grins and struts as the fans boo heavily.
“Ziggler very confident. Certainly he feels he should have just been given the resurrected X Division title back when this tournament was announced in January. But he has to earn it, as he has no doubt in his other matches. But this is Hayabusa now” JR calls as the two men circle each other again now.
“It’s a foregone conclusion JR! Hayabusa isn’t in Ziggler’s league. None of those X midgets are” King responds.
They again got to lock up and again Ziggler withdraws, but this time he runs his hands through his hair and goes to flick the water on Hayabusa when Hayabusa springs to life and hammers into him with knife edge chops, finally delivering a final one that sends Ziggler to the mat and now rolling out of the ring. Sherri now runs over with a towel and patches Ziggler down now, as he yells abuse at the taunting front row. Ziggler then takes a breath and then goes into the ring again…right into another chop taking him down. Ziggler backs into the ropes now and looks on wide eyed at Hayabusa as he stands. Hayabusa gestures for him to bring it. Ziggler now looks annoyed as he rises, cursing some and then circling before coming in again. The two now finally lock up, Ziggler now going straight behind for the rear waist lock, The Phoenix trying to reach for the legs and then reversing that into one of his own. Ziggler tries to pry the hands apart then reverses again into his own now. Hayabusa now runs around to try and throw Ziggler off but then ducks down and sends Ziggler flying through the ropes to the outside mats by the aisle way. Sherri now runs in to check on her man again but doesn’t get chance as Hayabusa runs into the far side ropes, across the ring, jumping up and clearing the top rope, but keeping Ziggler guessing by brings his feet around to land on the apron then jumps up onto the middle ropes and down onto Ziggler with the assai moonsault! The crowd goes nuts for that as both men lay out on the black mats now. Hayabusa now taunts the crowd and heads into the ring as they cheer heavily for him. Sherri now comes to help Dolph rise up but the referee yells at her to back up. Sherri being Sherri of course screams back at him. Ziggler though as this goes on is finally able to get up and get back onto the apron.
Hayabusa now though comes in for him, grabbing him by the head as he comes in, but Ziggler is able to shoulder thrust into his gut, then jump up and over the ropes, over Hayabusa to land on his feet in the ring then runs for the ropes comes in…right into a spinning heel kick from Hayabusa taking him down and covering for a quick 1 count.
Hayabusa now pulls Ziggler up off the mat but Ziggler now springs to life and nails him with two hard shots to the head sending him reeling now and then coming in. He backs him into the ropes for the Irish whip but Hayabusa reverses that and shoots him off into the ropes right into a dropsault from Hayabusa. He then turns Ziggler over, hooks the legs drops back and locks in the Mexican surfboard stretch! Ziggler yells out in pain, the crowd roaring for him to tap, Sherri screaming at the top of her lungs for him not to. The referee now gets in his face asking Ziggler if he wants to give up and despite his screams of anguish he continues to shake his head. But Hayabusa mistakenly puts his shoulders down, the referee counting for 2 which forces Hayabusa to break the hold.
“Great call by the referee like it or not Hayabusa’s shoulders were down” JR calls.
Ziggler though now rolls away in pain, trying to rotate some feeling back into his shoulders and kick out his knees as Hayabusa comes in. Hayabusa now lifting Hayabusa up and backing him into the corner, working away now with hard, sharp knife edge chops. The crowd wooing and reacting after each. But as he goes for a third Ziggler as able to bring a forearm up to the head, Hayabusa reacts by kicking him in the gut and then Irish whipping him out of the corner, Ziggler though reverses that and whips Hayabusa into the corner but as he comes in Hayabusa reaches up and uses his hands on the ropes to heave him legs up and jump over and behind Ziggler as he following him in. Ziggler now turns around now in the opposite corner but as Hayabusa runs in jumps up goes behind and nails the spinning neckbreaker.
“First big move Ziggler has got all match. That cocky smile has been wiped from his face now. Obviously Hayabusa is not as easy as he thought” JR calls.
“Yeah but he’s back in it now! Come on Dolph!” King yells echoing Sherri’s sentiments on the apron.
Both men now rise up again and now Ziggler nails the dropkick sending Hayabusa through the ropes to the outside. He stands again now as Hayabusa picks himself up on the mats and runs forward for the baseball slide but Hayabusa is able to grab his legs in the wheelbarrow position swing him around and drop Ziggler grin first on the security wall! The crowds roars for that one, Sherri almost crying now as Ziggler flops down onto the mats. Hayabusa now lifts him up and throws him back first into the corner of the rails, kicking away at the chest with straight kicks and then whipping him to the ring post, Dolph through puts his arms out and stops himself turning as Hayabusa runs in, leaping up but Ziggler catches him and heaves him over with almost a flapjack sending Hayabusa flying down face first into the steel ring post with a mighty splat! You hear screams of female fans for that as Hayabusa falls and lays out cold on the floor, Ziggler now finally having time to take a breath. A replay of that vicious move is shown and then we are back to live action as Dolph comes in on the barely rising Hayabusa now. He now lifts Hayabusa’s face up and punches him hard in the mouth, and again before picking him up and sliding him back into the ring following him in. Then running up and nailing the fame-asser and covering for 1…2….NO! First near fall of the match as Hayabusa is just able to gets his shoulder up. Ziggler though shakes his head in disbelief and covers again for another 2, and again for another. Ziggler now slams the mat in frustration and stands.
He now comes in and lifts Hayabusa’s head off the mat and locks in a headlock, syncing it in and as he takes Hayabusa down to the mat. Hayabusa though is able to power onto his feet and drive elbows into the gut to break it. But Ziggler runs in and takes Hayabusa down with a drop toe hold, jumping over and locking in a side headlock on the mat again. Hayabusa though is again able to stand in it and this time a hip thrust following by a hard couple of chops and then kick to the head breaks Ziggler and sends him stumbling back off of him, this shoots him off the ropes across the ring into the opposite ropes and in but Ziggler ducks the jumping back kick attempt then hits the ropes again running in and jumps up, hooking Hayabusa in the crucifix and taking him over into a pin for 1…2…NO! Nearly!
Ziggler now lifts Hayabusa up onto his shoulders and sends him over and down onto his knees for the fireman’s carry gut buster for 1….2….NO! Again Hayabusa just barely, barely gets the shoulder up. Ziggler now drops away pounding the mat in frustration as Sherri gets into a screaming match again with the referee on weather that was a 3 count.
“You think Dolph takes Hayabusa seriously now? You think he takes the X Division seriously now?” JR asks over the roaring crowd.
“Keep on him Dolph! Hit your finisher and get out of there!” King does not reply.
Ziggler when he finally does rise goes now to the second rope, yelling for Hayabusa to stand and when he does flies off with the double axe handle…but at the last second Hayabusa jumps up and nails him with a dropkick! The crowd goes crazy as Ziggler falls back to the mat holding his chest. When finally Hayabusa gets to his feet he runs the ring and jumps up onto the top rope and down onto Ziggler with a springboard moonsault reverse DDT! And covers for 1…2…NO! Ziggler just kicks out.
Both men now slowly rising showing the effects of this one, both tired and hurt as they rise. Ziggler now running in right into a spinning back kick, standing and coming in right into another. On the second rise though Dolph runs back into the ropes and in, but Hayabusa is able to hook the arm, flip him up and down to the mat with the tiger bomb for 1…2…NO! Ziggler just kicks out again! Hayabusa now holds his head as he stands in shock but shakes it off and stays focused, coming in on Ziggler as he rolls away. Grabbing him as he turns around right into the spinning falcon arrow but Ziggler is able to put his legs down and land on his feet! Hammering Hayabusa in the gut and then keeping the head locked takes him over with a snap vertical suplex into a cover for 2. Ziggler now picks Hayabusa up by the arm and Irish whips him into the corner, but as he reaches it Hayabusa leaps up onto the top rope to go for the springboard but before he can Ziggler comes in underneath the legs of powerbombs him off the top rope to the mat below! Hayabusa quiver on the mat out of it as the crowd can’t help but roar for that one, but it turns back to yells for Hayabusa as Ziggler grabs the legs and jumps over into a cover for 1…2….NO! Hayabusa again gets out!
The massive collective voice of the 80 thousand strong now erupt in chants of “HAYABUSA!” four claps “HAYABUSA!” As Both men lay on the mat in exhaustion and pain.
Ziggler now is the first to pull himself up, Sherri now screaming at him to finish it. To which he yells back “shut up women!” Before going in and heaving the Phoenix up….but Hayabusa springs to life, jumps up him and nails the shinning wizard! The crowd explodes as Dolph falls to his knee with a glazed look in his eyes and falls back like a tree to the mat. Hayabusa though still out of it lays on the mat unable to take advantage. The crowd now scream for him to stand and when he finally does he now heads over out and onto the top rope, signaling for the Phoenix splash the crowd getting louder and louder as he rises up for it and flies off with the Phoenix 450 Splash…but at the last second Ziggler moves out of the way leaving Hayabusa to crash and burn on the mat! That lets the air out of the people with a massive gasp and groan of disappointment.
Both men lay out of it for almost a minute, the crowd now clapping them on and Ziggler now stirs and stands. He now as more determined look that ever as his hair and stood up on end, sweat dripping in buckets from his forehead as he yells and gestures for Hayabusa to get up. When he finally does, using the ropes and turns Ziggler runs in and behind for the Zig-Zag…but Hayabusa is able to block and spin of that, hooking Ziggler and up for the Falcon Arrow, but Ziggler kicks down out of that, ducks the closeline goes behind and drops him with the Zig-Zag for 1…2…3!
The boos sound out of Ziggler collapses to the mat holding his head, his music kicking in and Sherri jumps up for joy and runs into the ring to join him. She now runs over and grabs the title off the official and takes it to him herself, Ziggler taking it from her and holding it to him.
“Here is your winner and NEW X Division Champion! Dolph Ziggler!” Finkle announces to loud boos.
Ziggler now stands, sweat dripping off him but grinning as he holds the title up high, kisses it and then runs to the rope and holds it up for all sides yelling “YES! I told you! I told you all!” Sherri elated, clapping with a broad grin of her own. She then comes in to grab his hand when he turns and drives the title belt into her head! Knocking her out cold to the mat.
Ziggler’s music stops as everyone looks on in utter shock.
“What the hell? What the hell was that for? You won the title? Why? Damit! That is disgusting! Did you see how happy she was for him! What a no good son of bitch!” JR rants in anger.
“He has to have a reason JR. She was holding him back…but….wow!” Is all King can reply.
“You must be kidding me!”
The boos are thunderous as Ziggler stands over the prone, sprawled out cold Sherri with a look of distain on his face for his now obviously former manager. He then flips the X Division title up onto his shoulder, the smug grin returning as he turns away from her and leaves with his new gold but without the women he arrived with. The crowd yell abuse as him as he walks up the ramp, he responds to none of it just looking very pleased with himself as EMT’s now hit the ring to help the out cold Sherri Martel on the mat. A stretcher being brought up. Ziggler turns back to watch this with the grin then turns back and heads up to the back with his title belt as his music hits again.
“What a no good son of a bitch! But be it as it may Dolph Ziggler is the X Division Champion. But what does this mean for the Company? We need answers. What the hell was this about?” JR asks as we see Sherri being loaded onto the stretcher when we cut.
When we come back we get a helicopter shot of the dome as the crowd roar and then cut back to inside as the bell sounds for the next match.
Women’s 6 Way Falls Count Anywhere Elimination Match
*Play Entrances*
Trish gets a massive pop due to this being her home town. Kong also gets a hell of a reaction. Daffney receives loud boos.
The referee looks between the women nervously as they glare across the ring at each other looking like they are ready to tear each other apart. He then takes the championship belt from the reluctant Daffney, all the other contenders looking at it as he holds it up and then hands it out of the ring, getting between them and calling for the bell.
As soon as it sounds all 6 women charge into each other, fists and feet flying everywhere as they meet in a massive chaotic brawl where it’s every women for themselves. Kong throws aside Velvet Sky, and then hammers away Trish as on the other side Kendra hammers away Hamada and Daffney. The two monsters then turn to face each other as the only two left standing, sneering at each other and charging in to collide like two stags. Kendra is the first to reel back and hammer into Kong, Kong reels from that then slugs into Kendra. Back and forth the fists go until Kendra goes for a big boot but Kong ducks it, grabs her by the waist and takes her over and down hard into the mat with a side to side belly to belly. Kong stands from that as Sky runs in and nails her with a dropkick to send her standing and stumbling back into Trish who grabs her from behind and drives her down with a reverse DDT. The two blonds now go for each other going back and forth vicious when from out of nowhere goes Hamada who takes them both down with a jumping double closeline. Hamada then stands and takes Kendra down with the jumping grabbing headbut, then the same to Kong to keep her down. She then goes in on Trish and takes her over with a Saito suplex going for a cover but it’s broken up by a standing senton from Velvet Sky.
Sky now hammers into Hamada then drops her with a DDT, but as she goes for the cover Daffney is back and heaves her up by her strands of hair, kicking away into her face and then taking her over with a double under hook suplex into a pin for 2. Daffney now stands with a cry of rage and charges in for Trish now but is intercepted with a hard big boot from Kendra that turns her inside out and leaves her out on the mat. Kendra then picks up Hamada, sending her down with a hard scoop slam. She then charges for the rising Kong but Kong ducks down on the ropes sending Kendra tumbling over and out from the big boot attempt to tumble to the mats below. As she stands Trish now sees her and vaults over and down with a cross body plancha. Then as they both stand from that Hamada now runs the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive but they are both able to side step it and send Hamada headfirst into the security wall. But as they turn from that Daffney is on the apron and flies off with an axe handle. Both Kendra and Trish catch that but now as the crowds building excitement gets louder Kong runs the ring and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive that takes them all out, all women now falling to the mats and laying in a heap and the crowd roar and clap them on.
After a few moments Kong is the first to rise and sees Velvet as she now dives over the ropes down with a cross body but Kong catches her out the air, turns and drives her back first into the ring post! Then as she turns from that Trish is now on the security wall and flies off with a diving closeline taking her out! Meanwhile now Kendra and Hamada have risen and are trading heated shots back and forth until Kendra grabs Ayako around the neck in the throat thrust and throws her hand over the security barrier into the front row as the rabid fans part. Kendra now comes forward and climbs over the barrier coming after her now as she rises. The two slugging it back and forth as they go further back into the crowd now. But now Daffney is up and goes under the ring pulling out her trusty lead pipe, running forward and blasting Kong in the back with it and then going over with an evil grin, over the barrier and towards the battling Kendra and Hamada. Heaving the pipe to bring it down across the back of Kendra’s head taking her down but then as she looks up from that she gets blasted by Hamada who then hooks her and suplexes her over and down onto the concrete arena floor, disappearing amongst the sea of humanity.
Meanwhile back at ringside Trish has now risen and grabs the stirring Kong up, driving her face down into the ring apron and then going over and now pulling out a table from under the ring, setting it up and then seeing Sky rise head up the ring steps to dive off with a hurricanrana taking her over and down on the mats. Trish stands from that and seeing Kong rise from that heads back up onto the steps and flies off with another hurricanrana…but this time Kong catches her on her shoulders in the powerbomb position, moving forward around as Trish fights to try and get out of it desperately then crowd building in noise of anticipation as they move back towards the table…Kong then heaving down and power bombing Trish through the table! She then kneels down and covers for 1…2…3! The crowd boos, not happy about it, but Trish Stratus is eliminated from the match!
“That one of the favorites gone early. Man! That one mistake cost her dearly there” JR calls.
Kong now stands as Hamada now comes back in with a chair and drives it down across Kong’s head taking her down and out and covering for 2. Velvet Sky is now back, running up the apron and across it as Hamada stands and down onto her with a diving closeline taking her down. She then heaves Hamada up and throws her back into the ring, following her in.
“Thank God” King calls “their back in the ring.”
“For now” JR responds.
She now heaves Hamada up and takes her over with the northern lights suplex, picking her and then driving her down with the spike DDT for 1…2…NO! Hamada gets her shoulder up.
Sky now stands and heads over, out and onto the top rope rising up and flying off with a moonsault…right into the clutches on Kendra who drives her down into the mat with the running power slam for 1…2…NO! The crowd let out a massive reaction of shock as sky gets the shoulder up. Kendra herself frowns down at that one, and she isn’t known for showing emotion. Kendra then stand and holds out her arms signaling for the sleeper hold as Sky stumbles her feet and stumbles back right into it! Kendra locks her hands and locks the hold in tight! She then starts to swings her around so her feet leave the mat, then drops back and lock in the leg scissors on the mat…as Sky taps out. Kendra releases her clasp and Velvet Sky is eliminated.
Kendra now stands from that and rolls Sky away into officials who help her out of the ring turning…right as Daffney flies off with the top rope with steel chair and drives it down into her head! The chair seat folding up so that the chair hangs around her neck as she stumbles back! Daffney then seeing this runs up, grabs the chair and delivers the Daff knees face breaker with the chair for 1…2…3! Kendra is gone!
“Oh my God!” Yells King.
“Well…indeed King. Daffney has eliminated her former partner, the women she managed to multiple women’s titles. Wow!” JR adds.
The crowd are almost in shock as Kendra is rolled out of the ring, Daffney standing with a broad grin and cackling evilly at this. She then turns…right into Hamada who scoops her up and drives her down with the AP cross for 1…2…3! Daffney is gone!
“Oh my God! Daffney is eliminated! Hamada has eliminated Daffney and that means that we are going to have a new WWF Women’s Champion here tonight and it will be either Hamada or Awesome Kong!” JR calls over the noise of the cheering crowd.
Both women left now stand and stare across the ring from each other as the crowd buzz. These two have had amazing blazing wars over the past year over this title and it comes down to this. One of them will walk out with the title on the grandest stage of them all. But who?
Both women charge forward almost like the match has begun again and start trading shots back and forth, Hamada swings with a closeline but Kong ducks it and grabs her from behind for a belly to back suplex but Hamada rolls over and down her back to stand and then dropkicks Kong in the back sending her stumbling into the corner. She then runs up going for the corner splash but Kong moves and leaves her to crash down into the corner, then runs the ropes, coming in as Hamada turns and taking her down with the body avalanche, she then as Hamada falls hits the ropes again and comes in with the body splash but Hamada is able to roll out of the way leaving Kong to crash belly first into the canvas. Then as Kong rises Hamada runs in, grabs her head, leaps up and then rolls back driving Kong’s head into the mat with the jumping DDT and covers for 2. Hamada now stands and heads over to the corner, climbing up onto the top rope as Kong stands and flies off taking her down with a missile dropkick and covering again for 2. Spinning heel kick followed by a leg drop for 2. Hamada now heads back up onto the top rope, but Kong is now back on her feet and comes in, throwing Hamada down hard into the mat off the top with both hands. She then runs, jumps up and down this time successfully hitting the running body splash for 1…2…NO! Hamada kicks out.
Kong now goes over and grabs the chair from earlier, turning with it but Hamada is stood and runs in, grabbing the chair from her and taking Kong’s head off with it before then hitting the Hamada-Chan cutter for 1….2….NO!!! The roof explodes off the dome, the 80 thousand roaring in shock as Kong kicks out! Hamada now falls back holding her head in shock, just looking on in disbelief but then stands and gets a determined look on her face. She now heads over to the corner, rising up and flies off with a moonsault down onto Kong for 1…2….NO!!! Kong kick out again and Hamada slams the mat in frustration.
She now pulls Kong up and goes for the cutter again but Kong now comes to life, hammering into her, kicks Hamada in the gut, heaver her up and drives her down with the Awesome Bomb for 1….2….NO!!! Hamada kicks out.
Kong now gets a new look in her eye, heaving Hamada up and driving her down now with the Implant Buster! But instead off covering she head over the to the corner…rising up on the top rope as the fans stand in unison, roaring in anticipation as the giant women rises and flies off with the Awesome Splash from the top rope body onto Hamada and covers for 1…2…3!!!
The crowd explodes as Kong’s music hits and she rolls off Hamada as Finkle announces it.
“Here is your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Awesome Kong!” The crowd roars to that as she stands now and is handed the title belt.
Kong stumbles back but with a mighty cry of her own, clenches her teeth she pumps that belt into the air and holds it up as the crowd cheers loudly.
“Well there it is. She survived, she tore through them all and the one known as Awesome Kong is once again WWF Women’s Champion here at Wrestlemania! What a moment” JR calls.
Kong now throws the belt over her back and leaves, leaving what is left of Hamada on canvas to help as she marches up the long ramp to the back with her prize.
“Awesome Kong is the women to beat in the WWF and after seeing that I don’t know if any women is up to the task” JR calls as we fade out.
Interlude #1
We are now back in the companies locker room, loud cheering going on with much smugness as Ziggler grins and holds up his newly won X Division title as Gene Okerlund comes in.
“Well if I may interrupt Mr. Cornette” He goes up to Jim “what when on out there? Where you aware of what Ziggler planned to do to Sherri?”
“Oh yes I was. See I heard JR ask what these means for the company. Well see every company has to sometimes cut their losses and fire the ones who aren’t cutting the mustered. And Sherri me and you have done a lot over these past two years, we took both forms of the Company to the top! But at the end of the day you weren’t cutting it anymore. That’s for Dolph to explain. But Sherri darlin’ when you wake up and see this I want you to know that it isn’t personal. It’s just business.”
“Well…Dolph I have to go to you. Indeed you are the new X Division Champion. But why did you do that out there? That was heinous!” Okerlund says as Ziggler chuckles at him.
He now brushes back the campaign in his hair and holds his X title up like Flair as he speaks.
“She had it coming Gene. See as Cornette said she wasn’t cutting it anymore and I know that because I was the one that suggested we terminate her. See one year ago now I signed up as her client because she promised to take me to the top, she promised me the world! But how many titles did I win in this past year?” He holds up his hand in a 0 “try zero. I on my own incentive got myself in the X Division title tournament and I on my own won this title for myself. And now the X Division means something, now those X Midgets actually have a man who will make this division and this title the biggest thing in the WWF! And I will do so without Sherri. Maybe if she had lived up to her end of the deal she’d be here with us.”
With that he goes back to parting with Barrett as Cornette steps forward to the mic again.
“Yeah and that’s two down. We have the money in the bank, we have the X Division Championship. And now it’s on to the second half! Before the night is done the Company will have ended the Undertaker’s Wrestlemania streak and we will have the WWF Championship! Now if you will excuse me I have to go and see how Miz and Jericho are doing. They got work to do!” With that Cornette slaps his two winning boys on the back for a job well done and head out of shot as Okerlund turns back to the camera with a sigh.
“Well…maybe we will get more on this tomorrow on Raw. But for now. Back to you JR and King.”
Okerlund now walks off shaking his head as Ziggler and Barrett pour Champaign over each other in loud celebration.
