The World Wrestling Federation Presents
THE KING OF THE RING 2012
Live from Wembley Stadium in London England
Attendance: 75, 456
Theme: Deftones – Royal
The music plays as a massive fireworks display cascades off of the massive set, spotlights all over the stadium as we now pan the massive roaring mass of 75, 456 people packed in the open air stadium. The sun not yet having gone down, the sky is still a nice clear blue. The sea of humanity is jumping up and down, showing their signs that are but a dot in the tremendous scope.
“Hello everybody and welcome to the new Wembley Stadium! Nearly 80 thousand Brits on hand for what it set to be an epic, a historic night in WWF History. Jim Ross alongside Jerry “The King” Lawler. And King; what a night we have set here.”
“Oh yeah, all the title in the WWF on the line including the final of the best of five series, Ligers 22 month IC title reign on the line. And that is to say nothing for the World Championship. Man, have you seen how many signs there are for Barrett? Boy are they going to be disappointed” Lawler replies.
“Well we will see about that. Also we have crown a new, the 2012 King of the Ring here tonight. The semi finals and final to come. But we are going to start it off with another title we haven’t mentioned. And that is the title that the cocky show off Dolph Ziggler holds, the X Division title.”
“Uh oh.”
“Uh oh is right. Let’s head down to the ring and get the word with Howard Finkle.”
X Division Championship
Finkle is stood in the centre of the ring as the bell rings “Ladies and Gentleman. The following contest. Set for one fall is for the World Wrestling Federation X Division Championship!”
*Play KENTA & Ziggler*
Velvet gives Dolph last minute advice, rubbing him down and warming him up some and then kissing him before stepping down to the floor, she is looking especially slutty tonight dressed in black leather like an English biker chick with a short black leather skirt that shows her thin black thong underneath almost in full. KENTA is staring across the ring with a glare. Dolph now unhooks the Championship belt and hands it to the referee, who holds it up for all sides, then hands it to the timekeeper and calls for the bell.
The two stare daggers at each other as they circle the ring, ready to the go at it. They both then run forward, punch from Dolph, kick from KENTA, punch from Dolph, straight from KENTA. Back and forth it goes at a rapid pace. KENTA able to nail a running arched big boot to take the advantage and send Ziggler stumbling back. He however comes right back in, under hooking the arms and pulling KENTA in but KENTA gets out of that and turns that into a hammerlock, Dolph drops down to the mat and turning, hooking leg with his own but KENTA grabs his head from behind and goes for a dragon lock but Dolph swings around and goes behind in a rear waist lock as he stands, KENTA reverses that into a rear waist lock of his own, going from a German but Dolph manages to nail a back elbow and get out of it. He then hits the ropes and comes in but KENTA leap up, grabs his head and takes him to the mat with a rear face lock. Dolph manages to power to his feet, grab the waist and turn it into a fisherman suplex for 2.
Both men stand and turn in for each other again now, KENTA nailing a hard kick to the chest then hitting the ropes another running arched big, then a spinning leg drop for 2.He then picks Dolph up the whips him into the corner, but there Dolph stops himself turns and as KENTA runs in takes him down with a running closeline and then covers for another 2. He lifts KENTA’s head off the mat now and applies a butterfly lock. KENTA struggles in the hold for a few moments before being able to roll back, grab Ziggler’s head and take him over and hook both legs into a roll up for 1…2…NO!
Both men stand and go for each other once more, KENTA now turning to chops and chopping Ziggler back across the ring. Ziggler though is able to grab the head and drive it down into the corner, work away with right hands and then stomps away furiously. He then goes to mount him for the corner punches but KENTA is able to grab the legs, go forward with it and reverse it into a reverse atomic drop followed by a spinning heel kick and a cover for 2. KENTA now heads out to the apron and then to the top rope, rising up on it, but Ziggler is back and running him pushes him off of the top rope down to the floor below. But KENTA manages to land on his feet, yell for Velvet to move and turn right as Ziggler comes off the apron with a double axe handle taking him down on the outside. Ziggler now scoops KENTA up and drives him face first off the guard rail, then grabs the arm and Irish whips him towards the steps, but KENTA jumps up onto the steps off and down onto Ziggler with a cross body! The crowd roars for that as KENTA stands and heads back into the ring, he then runs the rope, the ring and then flies through the ropes and down onto Ziggler with a suicide dive, but at the last second he side steps it, grabs him and sending KENTA head first into the guard wall! He then nails him a few more times before throwing him back into the ring and dropping him with a DDT for 2.
He then stands, wiping the sweat from his brow as he brushes back his hair, then hits the ropes and comes for the fame asser, but KENTA is able to grab the leg, twist Dolph and reverse that into a sit out powerbomb for 1….2….NO! Ziggler just gets the shoulder up.
KENTA stands and then nails Dolph with another straight kick to the head sending him down again and then runs for the ropes, jumps up and springboards off with a moonsault…but Dolph catches him out the air on his shoulders and nails a fireman’s carry gut buster for 1…2..NO! KENTA gets the shoulder up.
Dolph now lifts KENTA’s head up and again lock in a rear chin lock. KENTA struggles for the first few minutes but then starts to fade, wilting as Dolph twists and applies the pressure. KENTA struggles for a minute longer before the crowd start to now clap and stomp, willing him on. KENTA is able to power onto his feet now and shoot Dolph into the ropes, finally releasing it, dropping down as Ziggler comes in and letting him pass over, standing as he hits the other ropes, leapfrogging over him, letting him hit the ropes again and then catches him coming in now but Ziggler boots him in the gut now and whips him into the ropes, swinging for a closeline but KENTA ducks that and hits the opposite ropes again now coming in and hitting a X factor as Dolph ducks down for 1…2…NO!
He now picks Dolph up and shoot him back first into the corner, coming in and jumping up but Dolph catches him out the air, brings him down and hits the kick out DDT into a cover for 1…2…NO!
Dolph now stands and backs off kicking away at KENTA on the mat now. He then picks KENTA up and Irish whips him hard into the ropes back first, sending KENTA falling face and belly first to the mat in pain. Ziggler picks him up and again whips him back first into the ropes but KENTA catches himself this time and is able to bring his feet up onto the mouth of Dolph as he runs in. He then turns Ziggler, hoists him up and powerbombs him down hard into the corner. But not letting go keeping hold Dolph’s legs, twisting and power bombing him to the mat, then hook the legs still, turning him over and applying the cloverleaf! Ziggler cries out, reaching for the ropes in pain, struggling as KENTA synchs in the hold further, reaching, Velvet yelling and slamming the apron for him to move it, pleading as he holds his hair and yells out, clenching his teeth in pain, shaking his head at the referee, crawling…and finally finds the bottom rope. He hugs it like a lover as he pulls himself off. KENTA now picks Dolph up and turns him around, and beginning the KENTA rush. The crowd gets louder and louder which each move in the sequence, the final Busaiku Knee Kick taking him down and out. KENTA now comes in for the cover and finds 1…2…NO! Velvet places Dolph’s on the rope at the last second; the ref sees it and calls it a kick out.
The crowd sees it now and boos heavily at Velvet who just folds her arm and smiles smugly as KENTA yells at her in Japanese. He then turns to the ref and starts to argue with him. Dolph is now pulling himself up with Velvet’s help. The noise of the people getting louder as they try to warn KENTA who is still in a heated row with the official, KENTA insisting on the three count.
But now in runs Dolph nailing him with the Zigzag for 1…2….3!
The crowd stands as one and boos heavily as Ziggler’s music hits. Velvet leaping up for running into the ring to join him. She takes the title from the referee who was bringing it and takes it over to her man. He grabs it and hoists her up, spinning her around and then making out with her, hands roaming from both. He then grabs holds up his title, grins and then heads out of the ring, walking up the very long aisle way of the massive stadium to the back. Backstage we see Londrick watching and clapping around a monitor, beaming smiles on their face. Elsewhere in another busy locker room with the hustle and bustle of the other wrestlers stands the Motor City Machine Guns shaking their heads.
We then get a promo for Summerslam before coming back to ringside for our next match.
Women’s Championship
*Play Mickie/Kong*
The bell sounds and Kong goes in at once and begins beating down on Mickie with clubbing fist blows. Mickie responds bring her forearm up and returning with a couple of blows of her own. The two women begin exchanging punches back and forth. This has got fierce fast.
Kong grabs Mickie by the back of the head as they back into the centre of the ring and throws her by the head and hair back into the far corner and continue to go in on the attack. Kong comes in and gets several hard shots to the chest of Mickie in the corner. Kong then grabs Mickie and whips her off the ropes to the ropes on the other side. Going for the attack on the rebound but Mickie ducks down between the legs of Kong and goes in getting shots in as she turns around. Mickie then takes to the ropes and comes off but Kong is there to meet her and Mickie runs right into a hard spear! Kong follows that up by dropping an elbow and going for a 2 count.
Kong picks Mickie up, grabs her by the head and throws her hard by the head with a toss to the other side of the ring. Mickie gets to a crawling position, her face that of pain but Kong is there with a boot to the back sending her back down. Kong then goes back on the attack and grabs Mickie by the head but James is ever fighting and begins getting several blows to the gut of Awesome Kong, fighting her off. Kong however keeps her ground and hits Mickie hard with a head but sending her down to the mat.
Kong now picks Mickie up and lands multiple blows, followed up by back chops to chest. Mickie crawls up onto the second rope but Kong is there and brings her leg up to choke her on the rope. The ref counts and gets 4 as Kong backs off and lets Mickie fall to the mat. Kong then picks Trish up and takes her back down with a forward falling slam. She picks Trish up again and slams her again back down with a gut buster. Kong moves in like a shark that smells blood and begins slamming her foot into Mickie’s back and head. She then steps over the grabs Trish, applying the camel clutch. The hold is wrenched in and we can hear Mickie crying out in pain beneath Kong’s hands. She continues to pull the hold in but Mickie is refusing to give up. Kong’s eyes are wide with intent and rage as she tightens the hold. The crowd begins to clap and stomp willing Mickie to get out of it. Finally James wills of her strength and manages to power out getting to her feet and getting in a couple of blows to Kong but she fires back, grabs Mickie’s head again and throws her into the corner. She follows that up by running forward and close lining Mickie hard in the corner.
Kong ever merciless follows that up by grabbing Mickie again, putting her between her legs for the powerbomb. But as she hoist her up Mickie manages to take her over with a massive back body drop then stands watching as Kong turns around and then hits the ropes, coming off and hitting the dropkick. But Kong is still standing, stumbling but standing. Mickie won’t give up and hits another dropkick. But again Kong is still standing and stumbling! Mickie then goes to the top rope and flies off with a diving cross body block. This time Kong falls down with Mickie and James puts her arm over for 2 Kong powers out and throws Mickie off of her.
Kendra and Mickie charge forward as they stand, Mickie grabbing the head off Kong and going for it. Looking around and then leaping up onto the corner, jumping around. She vaults off the corner for the swinging tornado DDT…but Kong catches her body in mid air and counters it driving Mickie down with a falling slam. Cover for 1...2...NO! Mickie just gets the shoulder up.
Kong is frustrated now as she reaches down and pulls Mickie up but Mickie comes to life again, hammering back away on her and then hitting the rope and coming it with a flying shoulder tackle taking Kong down. She then heads to the top rope and flies off as Kong stands with a moonsault, but Kong catches her out of mid air, but Trish spins around out of it and drives her down with a reverse tornado DDT! She now crawls over and covers for 1….2…NO!
Mickie now is visibly hurt as she stands, holding her head and ribs as she turns but then snarls as Kong gets to her knees and runs in and nails an ensurguri to the side of the head of Kong taking her down again. She then reaches down and picks Kong up, shooting her into the ropes but Kong catches herself there. Mickie sees this and charges forward at her in the ropes, Kong however ducks down and sends her over with a back body drop over the rope and to the floor below.
Kong stumbles forward as the crowd reach and after a moment Trish starts to stir on the outside and stands, Kong hitting the ropes and using them to vault herself over and down onto Mickie with a plancha! But Mickie moves out of the way leaving Kong to crash hard through the crowd barrier! The security failing falling under her and fans scattering as she lands in them. Chants of “Holy shit! Holy shit!” Begin to reign down as the fall is replayed over and over to the people at home.
Mickie is now out of her feet but has recovered, breaking the count and then heading to the apron, waiting for Kong to stumble to her feet and then jumps off the apron onto Kong’s shoulders and sending her over with a hurricanrana into the steel ring steps! Kong head bouncing off the top part as it flies off its perch. Mickie looks satisfied as she comes into and rolls Kong into the ring, hitting the top rope now as Kong struggles to stand in the ring and flies off with over castle and covering for 1…2…NO! Kong just kicks out!
Mickie now pulls Kong up by the head and drives her down with the Mickie DDT for 1! Kong kicks out! The crowd let out gasp and cheers at the same time as Mickie holds her head and falls to the mat in disbelief. She now stands and crouches, waiting for Kong to stand and then nailing her with a chick kick and covering for 1…..2…..NO!!! Kong kicks out again.
Mickie is barely able to stand but drags herself on to the top rope now and yells out “get up!” As she perches on the top rope. She then flies off onto Kong’ shoulders and nails and west coast pop for 1…2…NO! Kong kicks out again! The air is let out the stadium, a massive “Oh!” sounding out.
Mickie now pulls herself, wills herself to stand again and heads to the top rope again, going for it again and as Kong stands flies off onto her shoulders…but Kong this time catches her and drives her down to the mat with the Awesome Bomb! She then covers for 1…2….NO!!! Mickie kicks out now! Kong and crowd are in a state of absolute shock that this one is not yet over. Kong’s eyes wide as she simply stares into space in disbelief.
She then stands with a snarl and reaches down, pulling Mickie up and in for the Implant buster…but as she pulls her up Mickie drops down behind and nails a dropkick to the legs of Kong. She then stands and hits the ropes running in on Kong…but Kong catches her and spins her round, driving her down with the black hole slam! But as she drops her Mickie grabs her head and turns it into a tornado DDT! Both moves impact as they fall, both women out cold from each other’s moves as the crowd let out applause and cheers for both.
Mickie uses the ropes to pull herself up and turns around right into a big boot from Kong, but she ducks it, then grabs the head and then runs up the rope to springboard off and down with a tornado DDT for 1…2…NO! Kong gets the shoulder up, Mickie slams the mat in frustration now as she heads to the top rope and flies off but Kong catches her out of the air and drives her down with the Awesome Bomb for 1….2….3!
The crowd cheers as Kong stands and takes her title belt. Another month, another victory. She snarls as she holds her title belt up, but then looks back and shakes her head at the barely moving Mickie James. Without doubt the southern bell took her more to the limit than any women in her title reign so far. She heads out of the ring, charging up to the back as in the ring Mickie rises and looks on.
Interlude
We are now backstage in the interview area “Well indeed two great opening matches” says Gene Okerlund “but coming up next the big first semi final match of the King of the Ring tournament and I am here with Legendary and John Cena.”
The crowd boos thunderous as the camera pulls back and Legendary are stood looking over self assuredly.
“Well first things first. Dusty Rhodes has banned everyone from ringside for these King of the Ring matches. Hogan, Rock, you nor HBK will be aloud out their tonight.”
“Oh we will make an appearance. I mean after all these people in this small run down country need something to live for. And we all know who they paid to see here tonight. This country is a shell of its former self” says Rock “much like Shawn Michaels. You say he is banned from ringside as well? Well, at least that’s something. The fat gibberish talking poker dot king is finally being fair. And fair and square one on one John Cena will lay the Smackdown on any and all Candy asses, not least of which will be this companies and Shawn Michaels little golden Indy midgets. The first of which he will destroy next. Oh we will make an appearance Oakwood, but we will do so when John Cena is crowned the King of the Ring! If you smell what the Rock is cooking.”
He goes to move the microphone to Hogan who just yells back “I haven’t got anything to add to that! Get walking Gene, if you don’t boy what we are selling you are no friend of mine. If you smell what the Hogan is cooking.”
He and Rock laugh at that as now Okerlund shakes his head and moves his microphone forward to Cena “well Mr. Cena. It’s down to you; you are the man in this tournament. You have said a lot of words but now it’s time to live up to them. To walk the walk.”
“Yeah, and believe me I can. No one can walk in my sneakers Gene believe me. Because tonight I do what I do best. I go out and I beat anyone in my way in the final step towards my rightful WWF title shot at Summerslam. Tonight I am crowned King, in August I will be crowned Champion. And I will do it for me, I will do it for these men but most of all I will do it for this Company to save it from itself and give them a Champion that will actually draw ratings. Bryan, AJ you take your prayers from HBK and you bring you 5 star classic skills, because in the end the result will be the same. Bryan Danielson, you may call yourself the best in the world. Now it’s time to prove it. The only way you will be the best is by beating me right here, right now. Because to put it simply; you can’t beat me…and you know it!”
With that he storms off, Hogan and Rock clapping and yelling on for him to go kill them as we fade back to ringside.
King of the Ring Semi Final: John Cena VS Bryan Danielson
*Play Cena/ Bryan*
The two are glaring at each other across the squared circle, eyes narrow at they stare each other now. Cena has a slight smile on his face nodding at Bryan’s words and then mouthing back for him to “step up. Prove it.”
“You could not find two my diametrical opposed wrestlers than these two men. The franchise, the sports entertainer against the technician, the wrestler, the independent darling. The ROH Pure Champion against the former poster boy of this company. What a unique, but very interesting matchup this will be. So much riding on this for both sides in this war of philosophies” JR comments as now they step up, going nose to nose in the centre of the ring.
Finally the referee looks between the two and calls of the bell. The crowd is now buzzing with anticipation, the flash bulbs going off around them, bathing them in light as they stare each other nose and trash talk back and forth. Finally Cena reels back and goes for a strike but Bryan block it and then nails him with a hard shot of his own, and another and another, with each the crowd yell “yes!” He then grabs the head of Cena and drives up a hard European uppercut. He then takes him in a snapmare, and then grabs the chin, placing his knees into Cena’s back and pulling back, locking in a back raking chin lock to a huge cheer. Cena cries out in it but is then able to shuffle his feet to the bottom rope and force the break, the ref gets it a the count of 4 when finally Bryan breaks it, he then sneers as he dropkicks Cena sending him tumbling out under the bottom rope to the floor. Cena stands to a cheer from the crowd as Bryan stands tall in the ring, the fans yelling abuse at John as he walks around ringside trying to gain his bearings. He curses back at a couple of fans and even spits on ones Shawn Michaels poster and turns…right into Bryan coming down with the suicide dive! The crowd roar again as Bryan stands and yells out at them, pumping his fists. He then goes over and boots Cena in the back of the head before scooping him and throwing him back into the ring. But as he comes up onto the apron Cena stands and hammers into the Bryan, then runs the ring and hits the ropes coming and shoulder tackling Bryan off the apron and down into the guard rail! Bryan holds his chest as he falls back onto the mats; Cena is back into it now.
He takes a moment to recover before coming out and picking Bryan up, smashing him face first off the ring post and then twice off the steal steps with a sick splat. He then rolls him back into the ring and comes in under the bottom rope. Then as Bryan stands charges forward and takes him down with a flying shoulder tackle. Then another from the other side. He then suplexes Bryan and then stands kicking away at him and yelling “what now? Who’s the best now?” as he boots away. But that incenses Bryan who stand and tackles him down, hammering away on him with hard rights and then grabbing the arm and head pulling him in for the triangle choke…but Cena reels back and strikes him point blank in the nut sack! Bryan cries out and rolls away holding his groin as Cena lies on his side, looking over at this with a sadistic grin. The replay shows that the referee’s view of it was blocked by Cena’s body, a bad call indeed but the match with continue. Cena now comes in and drives down a curb stomp to the head, then drops a leg and covers for 2. He now lifts Bryan up and hammers away on the head, backing him into the ropes and then grabbing the arm and Irish whipping him across the ring and then taking him down with a hard closeline, smiling out at the crowd at that and then turning and picking Bryan up and hammering him into the mouth over and over backing him into the corner and then stomping away there. But then Bryan nails a straight kick to the chest 3 times, the uses the top rope to swing his legs up and boots Cena in the mouth and stumbling away, he then pulls him back and up onto the top rope and flies off with the back falling missile dropkick. Scrambling over for the cover and finding 2. Bryan now grabs the arm of Cena and starts to work away on it, hammering down into it with elbows then dropping back and locking in a cross arm breaker. Cena yells out in the hold for a few moments, reaching for the ropes but then is able to power onto his feet and over turning it into a cover for one as Bryan swings it around and throws Cena down headfirst into the mat, keeping hold of the arm and locking the Label Lock! The crowd standing and cheering, yelling for Cena to tap as he struggles in it, crying out and reaching for the ropes. He then shuffles over, but Bryan pulls him back, nodding and yelling for him to give it up…when finally Cena reaches the bottom rope to a loud boo. Bryan does break the hold at 4 but backs off only for a second before coming and grabbing the left arm again, wrenching it and then twisting it over his shoulder and then dropping down with almost a stunner on the shoulder! Cena yells back and pulls his arm, holding his shoulder in extreme pain now. Bryan though boots him down and grabs the arm, working on it with a few more wrenches, then keeping hold of it goes to the outside and wraps it around the ring post, reeling back. But then at the last second Cena pulls back on the arm sending Danielson face first into the ring post! He stumbles back onto the mats as he in the ring Cena is now in a seated position, flexing his arm to try and get feeling back into the worked shoulder. He then sneers and comes out for Bryan, grabbing him up and the heaving him up and down chest first onto the guard rail with a slam. He then grabs his head and throws him hard at full speed at the steps taking them out as the top half collides with Bryan’s head and flies off.
Cena now getting more of his cocky stride back as he comes in a curb stomps Bryan’s head onto the bottom set of steps! The crowd wince and react to that as Cena comes over and now pulls Bryan up in a scoop slam and then drives him back first into the ring post, letting him fall in extreme agony to the mats. He then yells abuse at some of the yelling fans in the front row, before rolling back in, gesturing and yelling for the referee to count. He is now on the count 6….7….8…on the outside now Bryan has started to rise, holding his back and wincing in pain but up to his knees ….9….at the last second Bryan darts into the ring and breaks the count to a cheer. But that just angers Cena move, he comes in and pulls Bryan up, dropping him with the gut wrench suplex and then…grinning out at the crowd as the boos reign and get louder as he then holds his arm up. The boos thunderous now as he just grins at them and then goes over to Bryan, doing the you can’t see me into the middle finger version then hitting the ropes and coming back nailing the five knuckle…no! Bryan moves and Cena just punches the mat! Yelling out as he holds it and reels back seats in the ring when Bryan comes in and now reels back striking him with a roundhouse kick to the chest, and again and again, the crowd getting louder and louder with each as he yells out, wailing away with kick after kick then goes for the final one and kicks Cena’s head off, sending him down to the mat and then covering for 2! He now heads out and onto the top rope now, rising up…but then Cena is up and runs it, grabbing him…but Bryan wails away with the points of his elbow over and over sending Cena falling down hard to the mat then flying off with the diving headbut! Covering for 1….2…..NO!!! The crowd let a massive gasp and sound of disappointment as Cena kicks out! Bryan falls away holding his head.
He stands holding his back again but straightening and then pushing Cena over, going now for the low in the Mexican surfboard…but Cena gets up a few back elbows that send him stumbling away. Cena then stand and runs with a closeline! But Bryan ducks it, grab the arm, throw him to the mat and lock in the label lock again! The crowd exploding in cheers as this could be all it for Cena here. He struggles, trying to reach for the ropes, doing all he can to get to them but Bryan keeps pulling back on the nod, the referee is in Cena’s face asking him is he wants to give it up, Bryan now pulls back his legs, making sure to almost pull that injured shoulder out of its socket. But then Cena is able to roll back and turn into a pin for 1….2….NO! Bryan breaks the hold barely in time and the two are separated.
They then start to rise and now Bryan yells out and runs it with a jumping knee strike…but Cena throws him down to the mat by the legs, he then twists him over and goes to lock in the STF. But Bryan manages to scrambled out of it and turns right into a shoulder tackle from Cena taking him down. He then nails him with a scoops slam and then heads to the top rope, still holding that hurt shoulder but pulls himself on, up onto the top rope and flies off as Bryan rises head down…down with his diving leg drop to the back of Bryan’s head, then covering for 1….2….NO! Bryan gets the shoulder up. Cena now stands in frustration but then backs off and starts signaling for the FU, setting up for it as the crowd boos heavily now, yelling for Bryan to avoid it as he stands and turns right into Cena who hoists him up for it. But Bryan is able to drop down the shoulders and turn it into a crucifix pin for 1….2….NO! Barely Cena kicks out! Cena and Bryan now stand and go for each other again, this time Bryan dropkicks the legs of Cena and then leg trips him down, grabbing the arms and going over for Cattle Mutilation! But Cena is able to throws him off and down, reversing that into the STF! The crowd is now jumping up in shock, yelling out for Bryan to get out of the hold, the noise deafening as he reaches for the ropes, but Cena yells up “tap you little bitch! Tap that fucking mat!” As he wrenches back on it. But then Bryan launches forward…and grabs the ropes! The crowd lets out a massive roar for that one as Cena is forced to break the hold at 4. Bryan slumping to the mat and staying there. Cena yelling and argues with the referee, then tells him to “go fuck yourself!” And pushes him away, then comes in and boots down into Bryan’s head over and over, grabbing the top rope and continuing to stomp away. The referee gets in his face warning him that he will disqualify him, but Cena turns from it and now back the referee off, fists raised and threatening him. But that allows Bryan to run in behind and roll Cena up for 1….2….NO!!! Again a massive gasp and boos as Cena just kicks out.
Bryan now pulls himself up and then grabs Cena from behind heaving him up and down with the Regal-plex! Covering for 1….2….NO!!! Cena kicks out! Damit Cena kicks out!
“God damn it! Damn him but you have to give the devil his due here! Cena kicks out! Man what a fight!” JR calls.
Bryan now stands, out of it as he again grabs that hurt arm of Cena, pulling back to wrench the hurt shoulder and then dropping back to lock in a reverse arm lock, hand to hand, pulling back on the shoulder as he places his feet in the middle of Cena’s back! Pushing off Cena’s back with his feet and pulling on the arm just trying to pull it out its socket! But then Cena is able to roll over and use his other arm to punch Bryan’s hand away and break it. He then stands holding his arm and then turns right into the running Bryan…but then catches him, hoists him up and drives him down with the FU! Covering for 1….2….3!
Wembley arena is furious, the boos deafening as Cena’s music hits and he is announced the winner by Finkle. He is holding his shoulder as he stand, almost holding it in place as it hangs loosely in its socket. But gets his other hands raised by the official, the smile now returning to his face as he scowls back at the downed Bryan and leaves. He’s hurt but he advances to the finals. As he walks up the long aisle his though smiles at the camera and then gestures with his hand as he says “one down, one to go.” He then heads off to the back, probably for some medical attention on that shoulder JR proposes.
We then see clips from the past weeks house shows all over the England as Goldberg defeats 3 more men to make his undefeated streak 13-0. “I wonder if it can possibly continue with the next handicap match. Is rage for revenge enough?” JR asks as we now go to ringside for the next match.
Goldberg VS the Brotherhood Handicap Match
*Play Brotherhood/Goldberg*
As soon as the bell rings the Brotherhood run towards the snorting Goldberg and hammer into him from both side, beating him down to boos. But that he pushes them off and starts to fire back, pushing Pope away and then hammers into Zeek, then Pope, Zeek, Pope, Zeek back and forth it goes. Brother Ezekiel then comes it with a knee to the gut, but Goldberg just sneers back at him, then charges forward and turns him inside out with a closeline. He then turns as Dinero runs in, jumping up and right into his hand, driving him down with his version of the leg hooked chokeslam. He then turns and gets into a pounce position, waiting for Jackson to rise then charging forward and spearing him in half! He then turns and then does the same to Pope! The crowd on their feet, roaring in approval as he signals for it, and then grabbing Jackson and hoisting him up and down with the Jackhammer, he then grabs Pope and nails a Jackhammer on him onto Jackson! Piling them up and then lean down, pressing his hand down on Pope’s chest for 1…2….3!
Goldberg’s music hits to a cheer as he stands, getting his hand raised but pulling it away and then heads off, his job down. Carnage in his wake.
“Wow, that has to be the shortest handicap match I have ever seen” JR comments.
“Ain’t that the Truth” King replies.
“And I think we can now say once and for all that this rivalry is finally laid to rest. Goldberg is now 14-0” JR says as Goldberg storms up the aisle to the back, one again dominant.
King of the Ring Semi Final: AJ Styles VS King Kobashi
*Play AJ and Kobashi*
As they remove their jacket and robe respectively the two stare each other down with a deadly serious, determined look, trying to stare the other into backing off but neither will. When finally they both nod that they are ready, not breaking their stare down the referee calls for the bell and we are underway.
At once the two launch forward and lock up. Kobashi using his weight advantage to push down on the former WWF Champion, pushing him down to his knees in the lock up. Then forces him up and into the ropes, going to push in more until the referee forces the break, Kobashi breaks at the 4 count. The two circle and then lock up again. AJ now grabbing a side headlock, Kobashi though backs him into the ropes and shoots him off both men colliding as they both go for shoulder tackles, both reeling a little bit but just standing there glaring at each other and then Kobashi yells in Japanese for AJ to bring it. AJ hits the ropes, coming back and again into a shoulder tackle standoff. AJ then hits the ropes for a third time, but this time comes right into a hard knife edge chop! AJ keels over holding his chest as Kenta comes in. AJ grins at this and then turns and nails Kobashi with three straight kicks to the chest. Kobashi though grabs his head to stop it and goes for another chop but AJ ducks at and then chops his chest instead, Kobashi goes for another but AJ ducks it again and again hammers into Kobashi’s chest with a chop. He then grabs the arm of Kobashi and twists it, locking in a standing reverse wrist lock. Kobashi though reverses it into one of his own and forces AJ down to the mat with it. AJ though then rolls over the arm to the mat, kips up but Kobashi then charging him shoulder first back into the ropes. The referee comes in and orders a clean break, but as he does Kobashi nails AJ with a hard chop and then a slap to the face before breaking and walking off. AJ sneers at this, getting angry now as he comes out the ropes, nodding to the referee who then lets the two go at it again. He then runs in and hammers into Kobashi with a flying forearm, then picks him up and hammers away on his into the corner until Kobashi gets his hand up and pushing him away, then runs forward…but does so right into standing frakensteiner into a cover for 2. AJ now stands and then hits the ropes coming in, but does so right into a scoop powerslam driving him down into the mat for 2. Both men rise and go for each other again, AJ now spinning for the discuss closeline but Kobashi ducks it and the grabs him in the sleeper hold, then dropping back for the sleeper suplex, covering for 2. He then scoops AJ up by his hair, forcing him back into the ropes and now works away over and over with hard knife edge chops to the chest, over and over then go getting faster and faster, harder and harder, making Styles chest a beat red. But then AJ hammers into him with right hands beating him back and then dropping back for the Pele kick but Kobashi grabs it and slams AJ’s leg down into the mat. AJ holds his leg, pulling away from the King as he comes in and stomps down on the leg, the knee with hard stomps. He then grabs it and drops back, locking in a leg lock on the mat. AJ winces in the pain, struggling in it for a few seconds, but is then able to roll it over to break it and stand, running in and nailing Kobashi with a spinning heel kick. He then hammers into him on the mat and then hooks his head, driving him down with a reverse DDT and following it up with a spinning leg drop for 2. AJ now stands and pulls Kobashi up, hooking him for the DDT, but Kobashi reverses it into the northern lights suplex for 2. Kobashi then runs in and boots AJ down with a running big boot. He then nails several axe handle chops to AJ’s head on the mat. He then picks him up and scoop slams him down on the ropes, but pulls his head up so that he is lying on the air between the ropes and his grip. He then reels back and nails him with a hard chop, sending him falling down hard onto the mat! He then covers and finds 2.
Kobashi now picks AJ up and Irish whips him into the ropes, but AJ now leaps up onto the top rope, off with a springboard moonsault as he comes down catches the head for the Stylin’ DDT! Cover for 1….2….NO! Kobashi just gets the shoulder up. He then stands and now hits the ropes comes in…right into a hard chop sending him back down. Kobashi now hammers into AJ’s head on the mat, then heaves him up and hammers away with chop after chop to the chest, then spins around for the discuss chop, but as he does AJ grabs the waist and takes him over with a Double under hook suplex into a bridge for 1….2…NO!

Kobashi now curses and yells in Japanese as he stands and now comes in, picking up AJ and then setting up for the Burning Sword chop, but AJ blocks it and then jumps back nailing the Pele kick! Covering for 1….2…NO! Styles now is annoyed as he stands and now heads onto the top rope…but as he rises up Kobashi is up and runs up onto the second ropes, grabbing him and then dropping back for a super Tiger Suplex! Both men crashes down onto the mat as the crowd roars. He now rolls over, crawling over and placing and arm over Styles for 1…2…NO!!! AJ gets the shoulder up. Kobashi now pounds the mat in frustration, but does not yet rise, out of it himself for a moment.
When finally he does rise, he does cuts the air and heads over onto the corner, rising up onto the top rope. The crowd rising, never having seen him do this. The crazy veteran then rises up and flies off with a moonsault! But AJ moves out at the way! Leaving Kobashi to crash and burn in the centre of the ring, the ring shaking hard from the impact as the crowd goes wild. AJ now pulls himself up on the ropes and comes in, picking Kobashi up and heaves him up from behind then drops back for a German Suplex, keeping hold, rolling and following through right into a wheel barrow face buster! Hooking the leg back over the body for 1…2….NO! Kobashi kicks out again. AJ is now holding his head, pleading the referee that it was 3, and curses when it’s confirmed that it wasn’t. AJ now stands and goes over and onto the top rope, flying off with a HBK styles elbow drop and covering for 2. AJ is not out of it at his stands, sweat dripping from him and out on his feet and he comes in and pulls Kobashi up, but the King comes to life, hammering away with hard chops to the chest and then grabbing the head and placing him between his legs, heaving him up onto the powerbomb, then as he drops it turns it right into a DDT! Covering for 1….2….NO!!! AJ kicks out again; the crowd is now going crazy, yelling for AJ to get up. But loving every minute of this.
Kobashi though of course is the first to rise, he then picking AJ up in the reverse death valley driver for the Burning Hammer…but AJ drops down out of it, kicks him in the gut, hooks him and then drives him down with the Styles Clash, rolling him over for 1….2….3!
The crowd roars as AJ’s music hits and he gets his hand raised as Finkle announces.
“He did it! AJ did it! He’s through to the Final to face Cena! But by God in what condition is either of the men going to be in? Both have had helliaious semi final matches here tonight” JR calls. AJ now stands, getting his hand raised as he holds himself…when bam! From behind from Legendary, beating AJ down in a triple team mugging to thunderous boos. Rock, Hogan and Cena stomp away vicious with a mixture of anger and smiles. Cena still holding a now tapped up arm but stomps away never the less.
“What! No! Damn it! Someone get out here and stop this!” JR yells.
“Well…they said they would be out here. And they were banned from ringside…during the match” Lawler laughs in reply.
The beat down continue, Hogan now dropping the leg. The crowd though then explode as Bryan Danielson is running down, limping a bit from his match but runs into the ring never the less and hammers into Legendary. But he is overwhelmed by the numbers. Until Shawn Michaels runs down! Wembley Stadium has come unglued, 75 thousand people going crazy as Shawn slides into the ring and nails Hogan with sweet chin music. He then turns as Bryan nails Rock sending him spinning right into a super kick as well! He then looks around for Cena, but he is already half way up the aisle. Backing off and yelling that this is not over, that the finals are still to come. Shawn and Bryan and now helping AJ up, Shawn yelling for him to get back into the ring.
“Well folks, Cena and AJ is the finals. By God, what a war it will be” JR comments as we fade out from the scene.

THE KING OF THE RING 2012
Live from Wembley Stadium in London England
Attendance: 75, 456
Theme: Deftones – Royal
The music plays as a massive fireworks display cascades off of the massive set, spotlights all over the stadium as we now pan the massive roaring mass of 75, 456 people packed in the open air stadium. The sun not yet having gone down, the sky is still a nice clear blue. The sea of humanity is jumping up and down, showing their signs that are but a dot in the tremendous scope.
“Hello everybody and welcome to the new Wembley Stadium! Nearly 80 thousand Brits on hand for what it set to be an epic, a historic night in WWF History. Jim Ross alongside Jerry “The King” Lawler. And King; what a night we have set here.”
“Oh yeah, all the title in the WWF on the line including the final of the best of five series, Ligers 22 month IC title reign on the line. And that is to say nothing for the World Championship.

“Well we will see about that. Also we have crown a new, the 2012 King of the Ring here tonight. The semi finals and final to come. But we are going to start it off with another title we haven’t mentioned. And that is the title that the cocky show off Dolph Ziggler holds, the X Division title.”
“Uh oh.”
“Uh oh is right. Let’s head down to the ring and get the word with Howard Finkle.”
X Division Championship
Finkle is stood in the centre of the ring as the bell rings “Ladies and Gentleman. The following contest. Set for one fall is for the World Wrestling Federation X Division Championship!”
*Play KENTA & Ziggler*
Velvet gives Dolph last minute advice, rubbing him down and warming him up some and then kissing him before stepping down to the floor, she is looking especially slutty tonight dressed in black leather like an English biker chick with a short black leather skirt that shows her thin black thong underneath almost in full. KENTA is staring across the ring with a glare. Dolph now unhooks the Championship belt and hands it to the referee, who holds it up for all sides, then hands it to the timekeeper and calls for the bell.
The two stare daggers at each other as they circle the ring, ready to the go at it. They both then run forward, punch from Dolph, kick from KENTA, punch from Dolph, straight from KENTA. Back and forth it goes at a rapid pace. KENTA able to nail a running arched big boot to take the advantage and send Ziggler stumbling back. He however comes right back in, under hooking the arms and pulling KENTA in but KENTA gets out of that and turns that into a hammerlock, Dolph drops down to the mat and turning, hooking leg with his own but KENTA grabs his head from behind and goes for a dragon lock but Dolph swings around and goes behind in a rear waist lock as he stands, KENTA reverses that into a rear waist lock of his own, going from a German but Dolph manages to nail a back elbow and get out of it. He then hits the ropes and comes in but KENTA leap up, grabs his head and takes him to the mat with a rear face lock. Dolph manages to power to his feet, grab the waist and turn it into a fisherman suplex for 2.
Both men stand and turn in for each other again now, KENTA nailing a hard kick to the chest then hitting the ropes another running arched big, then a spinning leg drop for 2.He then picks Dolph up the whips him into the corner, but there Dolph stops himself turns and as KENTA runs in takes him down with a running closeline and then covers for another 2. He lifts KENTA’s head off the mat now and applies a butterfly lock. KENTA struggles in the hold for a few moments before being able to roll back, grab Ziggler’s head and take him over and hook both legs into a roll up for 1…2…NO!
Both men stand and go for each other once more, KENTA now turning to chops and chopping Ziggler back across the ring. Ziggler though is able to grab the head and drive it down into the corner, work away with right hands and then stomps away furiously. He then goes to mount him for the corner punches but KENTA is able to grab the legs, go forward with it and reverse it into a reverse atomic drop followed by a spinning heel kick and a cover for 2. KENTA now heads out to the apron and then to the top rope, rising up on it, but Ziggler is back and running him pushes him off of the top rope down to the floor below. But KENTA manages to land on his feet, yell for Velvet to move and turn right as Ziggler comes off the apron with a double axe handle taking him down on the outside. Ziggler now scoops KENTA up and drives him face first off the guard rail, then grabs the arm and Irish whips him towards the steps, but KENTA jumps up onto the steps off and down onto Ziggler with a cross body! The crowd roars for that as KENTA stands and heads back into the ring, he then runs the rope, the ring and then flies through the ropes and down onto Ziggler with a suicide dive, but at the last second he side steps it, grabs him and sending KENTA head first into the guard wall! He then nails him a few more times before throwing him back into the ring and dropping him with a DDT for 2.
He then stands, wiping the sweat from his brow as he brushes back his hair, then hits the ropes and comes for the fame asser, but KENTA is able to grab the leg, twist Dolph and reverse that into a sit out powerbomb for 1….2….NO! Ziggler just gets the shoulder up.
KENTA stands and then nails Dolph with another straight kick to the head sending him down again and then runs for the ropes, jumps up and springboards off with a moonsault…but Dolph catches him out the air on his shoulders and nails a fireman’s carry gut buster for 1…2..NO! KENTA gets the shoulder up.
Dolph now lifts KENTA’s head up and again lock in a rear chin lock. KENTA struggles for the first few minutes but then starts to fade, wilting as Dolph twists and applies the pressure. KENTA struggles for a minute longer before the crowd start to now clap and stomp, willing him on. KENTA is able to power onto his feet now and shoot Dolph into the ropes, finally releasing it, dropping down as Ziggler comes in and letting him pass over, standing as he hits the other ropes, leapfrogging over him, letting him hit the ropes again and then catches him coming in now but Ziggler boots him in the gut now and whips him into the ropes, swinging for a closeline but KENTA ducks that and hits the opposite ropes again now coming in and hitting a X factor as Dolph ducks down for 1…2…NO!
He now picks Dolph up and shoot him back first into the corner, coming in and jumping up but Dolph catches him out the air, brings him down and hits the kick out DDT into a cover for 1…2…NO!
Dolph now stands and backs off kicking away at KENTA on the mat now. He then picks KENTA up and Irish whips him hard into the ropes back first, sending KENTA falling face and belly first to the mat in pain. Ziggler picks him up and again whips him back first into the ropes but KENTA catches himself this time and is able to bring his feet up onto the mouth of Dolph as he runs in. He then turns Ziggler, hoists him up and powerbombs him down hard into the corner. But not letting go keeping hold Dolph’s legs, twisting and power bombing him to the mat, then hook the legs still, turning him over and applying the cloverleaf! Ziggler cries out, reaching for the ropes in pain, struggling as KENTA synchs in the hold further, reaching, Velvet yelling and slamming the apron for him to move it, pleading as he holds his hair and yells out, clenching his teeth in pain, shaking his head at the referee, crawling…and finally finds the bottom rope. He hugs it like a lover as he pulls himself off. KENTA now picks Dolph up and turns him around, and beginning the KENTA rush. The crowd gets louder and louder which each move in the sequence, the final Busaiku Knee Kick taking him down and out. KENTA now comes in for the cover and finds 1…2…NO! Velvet places Dolph’s on the rope at the last second; the ref sees it and calls it a kick out.
The crowd sees it now and boos heavily at Velvet who just folds her arm and smiles smugly as KENTA yells at her in Japanese. He then turns to the ref and starts to argue with him. Dolph is now pulling himself up with Velvet’s help. The noise of the people getting louder as they try to warn KENTA who is still in a heated row with the official, KENTA insisting on the three count.
But now in runs Dolph nailing him with the Zigzag for 1…2….3!
The crowd stands as one and boos heavily as Ziggler’s music hits. Velvet leaping up for running into the ring to join him. She takes the title from the referee who was bringing it and takes it over to her man. He grabs it and hoists her up, spinning her around and then making out with her, hands roaming from both. He then grabs holds up his title, grins and then heads out of the ring, walking up the very long aisle way of the massive stadium to the back. Backstage we see Londrick watching and clapping around a monitor, beaming smiles on their face. Elsewhere in another busy locker room with the hustle and bustle of the other wrestlers stands the Motor City Machine Guns shaking their heads.
We then get a promo for Summerslam before coming back to ringside for our next match.

But Mickie moves out of the way leaving Kong to crash hard through the crowd barrier! The security failing falling under her and fans scattering as she lands in them. Chants of “Holy shit! Holy shit!” Begin to reign down as the fall is replayed over and over to the people at home.
Mickie is now out of her feet but has recovered, breaking the count and then heading to the apron, waiting for Kong to stumble to her feet and then jumps off the apron onto Kong’s shoulders and sending her over with a hurricanrana into the steel ring steps! Kong head bouncing off the top part as it flies off its perch. Mickie looks satisfied as she comes into and rolls Kong into the ring, hitting the top rope now as Kong struggles to stand in the ring and flies off with over castle and covering for 1…2…NO!

The crowd cheers as Kong stands and takes her title belt. Another month, another victory. She snarls as she holds her title belt up, but then looks back and shakes her head at the barely moving Mickie James. Without doubt the southern bell took her more to the limit than any women in her title reign so far. She heads out of the ring, charging up to the back as in the ring Mickie rises and looks on.
Interlude
We are now backstage in the interview area “Well indeed two great opening matches” says Gene Okerlund “but coming up next the big first semi final match of the King of the Ring tournament and I am here with Legendary and John Cena.”
The crowd boos thunderous as the camera pulls back and Legendary are stood looking over self assuredly.
“Well first things first. Dusty Rhodes has banned everyone from ringside for these King of the Ring matches. Hogan, Rock, you nor HBK will be aloud out their tonight.”
“Oh we will make an appearance. I mean after all these people in this small run down country need something to live for. And we all know who they paid to see here tonight. This country is a shell of its former self” says Rock “much like Shawn Michaels. You say he is banned from ringside as well? Well, at least that’s something. The fat gibberish talking poker dot king is finally being fair. And fair and square one on one John Cena will lay the Smackdown on any and all Candy asses, not least of which will be this companies and Shawn Michaels little golden Indy midgets. The first of which he will destroy next. Oh we will make an appearance Oakwood, but we will do so when John Cena is crowned the King of the Ring! If you smell what the Rock is cooking.”
He goes to move the microphone to Hogan who just yells back “I haven’t got anything to add to that! Get walking Gene, if you don’t boy what we are selling you are no friend of mine. If you smell what the Hogan is cooking.”
He and Rock laugh at that as now Okerlund shakes his head and moves his microphone forward to Cena “well Mr. Cena. It’s down to you; you are the man in this tournament. You have said a lot of words but now it’s time to live up to them. To walk the walk.”
“Yeah, and believe me I can. No one can walk in my sneakers Gene believe me. Because tonight I do what I do best. I go out and I beat anyone in my way in the final step towards my rightful WWF title shot at Summerslam. Tonight I am crowned King, in August I will be crowned Champion. And I will do it for me, I will do it for these men but most of all I will do it for this Company to save it from itself and give them a Champion that will actually draw ratings. Bryan, AJ you take your prayers from HBK and you bring you 5 star classic skills, because in the end the result will be the same. Bryan Danielson, you may call yourself the best in the world. Now it’s time to prove it. The only way you will be the best is by beating me right here, right now. Because to put it simply; you can’t beat me…and you know it!”
With that he storms off, Hogan and Rock clapping and yelling on for him to go kill them as we fade back to ringside.
King of the Ring Semi Final: John Cena VS Bryan Danielson
*Play Cena/ Bryan*
The two are glaring at each other across the squared circle, eyes narrow at they stare each other now. Cena has a slight smile on his face nodding at Bryan’s words and then mouthing back for him to “step up. Prove it.”
“You could not find two my diametrical opposed wrestlers than these two men. The franchise, the sports entertainer against the technician, the wrestler, the independent darling. The ROH Pure Champion against the former poster boy of this company. What a unique, but very interesting matchup this will be. So much riding on this for both sides in this war of philosophies” JR comments as now they step up, going nose to nose in the centre of the ring.
Finally the referee looks between the two and calls of the bell. The crowd is now buzzing with anticipation, the flash bulbs going off around them, bathing them in light as they stare each other nose and trash talk back and forth. Finally Cena reels back and goes for a strike but Bryan block it and then nails him with a hard shot of his own, and another and another, with each the crowd yell “yes!” He then grabs the head of Cena and drives up a hard European uppercut. He then takes him in a snapmare, and then grabs the chin, placing his knees into Cena’s back and pulling back, locking in a back raking chin lock to a huge cheer. Cena cries out in it but is then able to shuffle his feet to the bottom rope and force the break, the ref gets it a the count of 4 when finally Bryan breaks it, he then sneers as he dropkicks Cena sending him tumbling out under the bottom rope to the floor. Cena stands to a cheer from the crowd as Bryan stands tall in the ring, the fans yelling abuse at John as he walks around ringside trying to gain his bearings. He curses back at a couple of fans and even spits on ones Shawn Michaels poster and turns…right into Bryan coming down with the suicide dive! The crowd roar again as Bryan stands and yells out at them, pumping his fists. He then goes over and boots Cena in the back of the head before scooping him and throwing him back into the ring. But as he comes up onto the apron Cena stands and hammers into the Bryan, then runs the ring and hits the ropes coming and shoulder tackling Bryan off the apron and down into the guard rail! Bryan holds his chest as he falls back onto the mats; Cena is back into it now.
He takes a moment to recover before coming out and picking Bryan up, smashing him face first off the ring post and then twice off the steal steps with a sick splat. He then rolls him back into the ring and comes in under the bottom rope. Then as Bryan stands charges forward and takes him down with a flying shoulder tackle. Then another from the other side. He then suplexes Bryan and then stands kicking away at him and yelling “what now? Who’s the best now?” as he boots away. But that incenses Bryan who stand and tackles him down, hammering away on him with hard rights and then grabbing the arm and head pulling him in for the triangle choke…but Cena reels back and strikes him point blank in the nut sack! Bryan cries out and rolls away holding his groin as Cena lies on his side, looking over at this with a sadistic grin. The replay shows that the referee’s view of it was blocked by Cena’s body, a bad call indeed but the match with continue. Cena now comes in and drives down a curb stomp to the head, then drops a leg and covers for 2. He now lifts Bryan up and hammers away on the head, backing him into the ropes and then grabbing the arm and Irish whipping him across the ring and then taking him down with a hard closeline, smiling out at the crowd at that and then turning and picking Bryan up and hammering him into the mouth over and over backing him into the corner and then stomping away there. But then Bryan nails a straight kick to the chest 3 times, the uses the top rope to swing his legs up and boots Cena in the mouth and stumbling away, he then pulls him back and up onto the top rope and flies off with the back falling missile dropkick. Scrambling over for the cover and finding 2. Bryan now grabs the arm of Cena and starts to work away on it, hammering down into it with elbows then dropping back and locking in a cross arm breaker. Cena yells out in the hold for a few moments, reaching for the ropes but then is able to power onto his feet and over turning it into a cover for one as Bryan swings it around and throws Cena down headfirst into the mat, keeping hold of the arm and locking the Label Lock! The crowd standing and cheering, yelling for Cena to tap as he struggles in it, crying out and reaching for the ropes. He then shuffles over, but Bryan pulls him back, nodding and yelling for him to give it up…when finally Cena reaches the bottom rope to a loud boo. Bryan does break the hold at 4 but backs off only for a second before coming and grabbing the left arm again, wrenching it and then twisting it over his shoulder and then dropping down with almost a stunner on the shoulder! Cena yells back and pulls his arm, holding his shoulder in extreme pain now. Bryan though boots him down and grabs the arm, working on it with a few more wrenches, then keeping hold of it goes to the outside and wraps it around the ring post, reeling back. But then at the last second Cena pulls back on the arm sending Danielson face first into the ring post! He stumbles back onto the mats as he in the ring Cena is now in a seated position, flexing his arm to try and get feeling back into the worked shoulder. He then sneers and comes out for Bryan, grabbing him up and the heaving him up and down chest first onto the guard rail with a slam. He then grabs his head and throws him hard at full speed at the steps taking them out as the top half collides with Bryan’s head and flies off.
Cena now getting more of his cocky stride back as he comes in a curb stomps Bryan’s head onto the bottom set of steps! The crowd wince and react to that as Cena comes over and now pulls Bryan up in a scoop slam and then drives him back first into the ring post, letting him fall in extreme agony to the mats. He then yells abuse at some of the yelling fans in the front row, before rolling back in, gesturing and yelling for the referee to count. He is now on the count 6….7….8…on the outside now Bryan has started to rise, holding his back and wincing in pain but up to his knees ….9….at the last second Bryan darts into the ring and breaks the count to a cheer. But that just angers Cena move, he comes in and pulls Bryan up, dropping him with the gut wrench suplex and then…grinning out at the crowd as the boos reign and get louder as he then holds his arm up. The boos thunderous now as he just grins at them and then goes over to Bryan, doing the you can’t see me into the middle finger version then hitting the ropes and coming back nailing the five knuckle…no! Bryan moves and Cena just punches the mat! Yelling out as he holds it and reels back seats in the ring when Bryan comes in and now reels back striking him with a roundhouse kick to the chest, and again and again, the crowd getting louder and louder with each as he yells out, wailing away with kick after kick then goes for the final one and kicks Cena’s head off, sending him down to the mat and then covering for 2! He now heads out and onto the top rope now, rising up…but then Cena is up and runs it, grabbing him…but Bryan wails away with the points of his elbow over and over sending Cena falling down hard to the mat then flying off with the diving headbut! Covering for 1….2…..NO!!! The crowd let a massive gasp and sound of disappointment as Cena kicks out! Bryan falls away holding his head.
He stands holding his back again but straightening and then pushing Cena over, going now for the low in the Mexican surfboard…but Cena gets up a few back elbows that send him stumbling away. Cena then stand and runs with a closeline! But Bryan ducks it, grab the arm, throw him to the mat and lock in the label lock again! The crowd exploding in cheers as this could be all it for Cena here. He struggles, trying to reach for the ropes, doing all he can to get to them but Bryan keeps pulling back on the nod, the referee is in Cena’s face asking him is he wants to give it up, Bryan now pulls back his legs, making sure to almost pull that injured shoulder out of its socket. But then Cena is able to roll back and turn into a pin for 1….2….NO! Bryan breaks the hold barely in time and the two are separated.
They then start to rise and now Bryan yells out and runs it with a jumping knee strike…but Cena throws him down to the mat by the legs, he then twists him over and goes to lock in the STF. But Bryan manages to scrambled out of it and turns right into a shoulder tackle from Cena taking him down. He then nails him with a scoops slam and then heads to the top rope, still holding that hurt shoulder but pulls himself on, up onto the top rope and flies off as Bryan rises head down…down with his diving leg drop to the back of Bryan’s head, then covering for 1….2….NO! Bryan gets the shoulder up. Cena now stands in frustration but then backs off and starts signaling for the FU, setting up for it as the crowd boos heavily now, yelling for Bryan to avoid it as he stands and turns right into Cena who hoists him up for it. But Bryan is able to drop down the shoulders and turn it into a crucifix pin for 1….2….NO! Barely Cena kicks out! Cena and Bryan now stand and go for each other again, this time Bryan dropkicks the legs of Cena and then leg trips him down, grabbing the arms and going over for Cattle Mutilation! But Cena is able to throws him off and down, reversing that into the STF! The crowd is now jumping up in shock, yelling out for Bryan to get out of the hold, the noise deafening as he reaches for the ropes, but Cena yells up “tap you little bitch! Tap that fucking mat!” As he wrenches back on it. But then Bryan launches forward…and grabs the ropes! The crowd lets out a massive roar for that one as Cena is forced to break the hold at 4. Bryan slumping to the mat and staying there. Cena yelling and argues with the referee, then tells him to “go fuck yourself!” And pushes him away, then comes in and boots down into Bryan’s head over and over, grabbing the top rope and continuing to stomp away. The referee gets in his face warning him that he will disqualify him, but Cena turns from it and now back the referee off, fists raised and threatening him. But that allows Bryan to run in behind and roll Cena up for 1….2….NO!!! Again a massive gasp and boos as Cena just kicks out.
Bryan now pulls himself up and then grabs Cena from behind heaving him up and down with the Regal-plex! Covering for 1….2….NO!!! Cena kicks out! Damit Cena kicks out!
“God damn it! Damn him but you have to give the devil his due here! Cena kicks out! Man what a fight!” JR calls.
Bryan now stands, out of it as he again grabs that hurt arm of Cena, pulling back to wrench the hurt shoulder and then dropping back to lock in a reverse arm lock, hand to hand, pulling back on the shoulder as he places his feet in the middle of Cena’s back! Pushing off Cena’s back with his feet and pulling on the arm just trying to pull it out its socket! But then Cena is able to roll over and use his other arm to punch Bryan’s hand away and break it. He then stands holding his arm and then turns right into the running Bryan…but then catches him, hoists him up and drives him down with the FU! Covering for 1….2….3!
Wembley arena is furious, the boos deafening as Cena’s music hits and he is announced the winner by Finkle. He is holding his shoulder as he stand, almost holding it in place as it hangs loosely in its socket. But gets his other hands raised by the official, the smile now returning to his face as he scowls back at the downed Bryan and leaves. He’s hurt but he advances to the finals. As he walks up the long aisle his though smiles at the camera and then gestures with his hand as he says “one down, one to go.” He then heads off to the back, probably for some medical attention on that shoulder JR proposes.
We then see clips from the past weeks house shows all over the England as Goldberg defeats 3 more men to make his undefeated streak 13-0. “I wonder if it can possibly continue with the next handicap match. Is rage for revenge enough?” JR asks as we now go to ringside for the next match.
Goldberg VS the Brotherhood Handicap Match
*Play Brotherhood/Goldberg*
As soon as the bell rings the Brotherhood run towards the snorting Goldberg and hammer into him from both side, beating him down to boos. But that he pushes them off and starts to fire back, pushing Pope away and then hammers into Zeek, then Pope, Zeek, Pope, Zeek back and forth it goes. Brother Ezekiel then comes it with a knee to the gut, but Goldberg just sneers back at him, then charges forward and turns him inside out with a closeline. He then turns as Dinero runs in, jumping up and right into his hand, driving him down with his version of the leg hooked chokeslam. He then turns and gets into a pounce position, waiting for Jackson to rise then charging forward and spearing him in half! He then turns and then does the same to Pope! The crowd on their feet, roaring in approval as he signals for it, and then grabbing Jackson and hoisting him up and down with the Jackhammer, he then grabs Pope and nails a Jackhammer on him onto Jackson! Piling them up and then lean down, pressing his hand down on Pope’s chest for 1…2….3!
Goldberg’s music hits to a cheer as he stands, getting his hand raised but pulling it away and then heads off, his job down. Carnage in his wake.
“Wow, that has to be the shortest handicap match I have ever seen” JR comments.
“Ain’t that the Truth” King replies.
“And I think we can now say once and for all that this rivalry is finally laid to rest. Goldberg is now 14-0” JR says as Goldberg storms up the aisle to the back, one again dominant.
King of the Ring Semi Final: AJ Styles VS King Kobashi

As they remove their jacket and robe respectively the two stare each other down with a deadly serious, determined look, trying to stare the other into backing off but neither will.

At once the two launch forward and lock up. Kobashi using his weight advantage to push down on the former WWF Champion, pushing him down to his knees in the lock up.
