Coach: “Welcome to the pre-show for ROH Driven, where a new generation may begin, before we show you that, MVP had a VIP Lounge, but somebody wanted something of his back.”
*Tazz vs MVP*
MVP: “Welcome to the VIP Louge-“
Tazz: “MVP, I’m not one for words, but considering that’s what you like to do, cause lord knows you can’t fight, I might as well tell you how I’m gonna kick your ass, before I do, you see - you got something that belongs to me, you took something that was mine, and pissed on it
MVP: Look everybody it’s the big bad Tazz, excuse me while I attempt to care, hell, Jerry Lawler’s corpse is more entertaining then you, Mark go finish this fool.”
Mark Henry goes to attack Tazz but he ducks - locks in the Tazzmission and chokes Henry out, MVP and Teddy Long run up the ramp.
*TAG TEAMS: Beer Money (James Storm & Bobby Roode) vs. World’s Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Hass)*
Coach: World’s Greatest Tag Team, you guys have requested interview time, what is it you want to say?
Shelton: We beat… Los Guerreros 3 months ago… and have been on a roll… at live events ever since, so we… want a… title match.
As Shelton is talking there’s a knock on the door, and Santino Marella walks in.
Santino: “Hello gentlemans, I think I may be able to helps, you see, I have it on the authorities that you twos would be the number one chickentenders if you guys had the charisma of Santino Marella.
Shelton: Number one contenders? Look, we are great wrestlers, that’s all we need.”
Santino: “Then why didn’t you gets a shot when the Insiders, the team that hasn’t done anything since the fingering of doom, did?”
Shelton: “Hmmmm, So if we bring you ringside, we get a title match?”
Santino nods; Benjamin and Haas think about it, and then agree.
Shelton: “If that means we get a title shot, then ok.”
Later that night: WGTT face off against LAX, Hernandez pulls himself to the top rope, when Santino detracts him, this allows Shelton to jump up on the top rope and hit a pay dirt from the top for the win.
A few weeks later Haas and Benjamin attack Beer Money during a match with the Outsiders, afterwards camera’s caught up with Beer Money.
Storm: “you know Bobby, it seems everyone wants to see just how tough they are when they attack us, we can say a lot about Nash and Hall, but we respect them and at least they had the dignity to punch us in our face instead of attack us from behind.
Roode: “At Driven, it’s gonna take more than a manager with a speech impediment to take this from us. We are gonna be Champions for a long time.”
*Kevin Thorn Promo*
We see Kevin Thorn in a dark room, with a small spotlight pointed at him, looking a bit different from the look we’re used to, with short spikey hair as opposed to the long hair.
“Hey, you may know me as Kevin Thorn, and while you may be expecting blood and crosses, I’m here to show that vampires can be real people, that vampires are more than just Dracula, or creepy goths, we are deep thinkers and free spirits, and vampires are not what you think… or want to think.”
Weeks later we see Thorn face off against Yoshi Tatsu, he dominates Yoshi for 3 minutes and finishes him off with a Backpack stunner that he calls, the Dawn Beaker.
*Dean Ambrose vs. Big Show*
Ambrose: “you guys haven’t seen much of me the past 3 months, I’m not sure why, maybe I’m too violent, maybe I’m too real, maybe it’s cause me and my lovely friend AJ don’t think like normal people.
Bryan Danielson said something to me a week ago, and said I needed to prove myself, so I ask is this title not good enough? Is the fact that I’m undefeated not good enough? Is the fact that Me and AJ beat that monster Abyss so bad he had to go away and play kiddie dream world with Mick Foley, not good enough?
Speaking of Monsters, I’m a real monster, not because I have black lights, or pyro, or a mask, or I’m a giant, or whatever, I’m a monster because I am a living, breathing, nightmare, I walk among all of you and it scares you that someone so merciless can look so normal.
I am now issuing a match for my Hardcore title at Driven, so any monster or freak that wants this possession, come before my feet.”
Big Show comes out and hits the WMD on Ambrose, replays are shown of the punch and when we come back, we see Ambrose holding his jaw, smiling.
*The Kliq (HHH/Nash & Hall) vs. The Prophecy (Aries/Black/Low-Ki)*
Joey Styles is at the announce desk.
Styles: Ladies and Gentlemen, we have some news from the main event last night, not only is Edge still the Ring of Honor champion, but it Randy Orton is out of action, here is the interview I had with him.
Styles: “Hello Randy, I would like to wish you a speedy recovery and also ask you, how this happened?”
Orton: “It all started back at Best in the World when I took a bad bump on the guardrail, I’ve had nagging pain for 3 months now and Caged Collision just aggravated it, the Spike DDT on the stairs injured it even more, and the drop off the top of the cage was the nail in the coffin, but a strange relief… I’m gonna use this time off to train, rest, and get even better, but for now, I get to finally relax.”
Aries comes down to the ring flanked by Rollins and Kaval.
Aries: “Triple H, when are you going to learn, even though you interfered and cost me my match at Caged Collision, you don’t get a match with me, so just quit, retire, or move on, and save me, yourself, and the fans a lot of time”
Triple H: “Aries, Aries, I was hoping that me costing you the world championship would convince to accept a match with me, but I guess I’ll have to beat that answer out of you…” Triple H walks down the ramp, Aries, Kaval, and Rollins preparing for a fight. “… woah, woah, this won’t solve anything, I’m not gonna get a one-on-one match with you… but I can get a tag match.”
Aries: “Oh yeah? and who’s left who would even think of being your partner, Orton’s gone, Batista’s gone, Flairs saggy skin in on NWA TV, and you butt buddy Shawn is playing around with 2 ROH rejects who quit because ROH was too tough for them, who’s left?”
Triple H: “I can think of only 2 people, luckily, that’s all I need.”
Scott Hall and Kevin Nash come out with baseball bats, as they get to the ring The Prophecy run off.
Triple H shakes Nash & Hall’s hands, then grabs a mic left in the ring.
Triple H: “This is not Evolution, this is not the now, but these are my friends, and we have 2 words for you… The Kliq.”
AUGUST:
Nash and Hall are seen smiling in their locker room, when Triple H walks in.
HHH: “Guys, you know I chose you guys because I have no one else, you better take this seriously.”
Nash: “Okay Hunter, if you say so.”
Nash now pouts, Triple H then sees a bag lying around behind Nash and Hall.
HHH: “Don’t think I can’t see that, give me the bag, let me see what’s in it. Spray-paint, no. Silly string, no. Schematics for the arena so you can drop a piano in the ring, no. A picture of a rich Mexican with a silly moustache drawn on it, not sure why you need this, so that’s a no… what the hell is this? A bag of puke?”
Nash: “It’s a bag of the WWF product.”
HHH: “Kev, just stop, you guys need to be on the top of your game, I need Diesel and Razor, I need the ass kickers, not the pranksters, the jokers, I see here…”
Nash: “okay, okay, I do have one plan that I think you’ll enjoy…”
The scene fades to the ringside area.
Aries, and the rest of the prophecy are in the ring and Aries has grabbed the mic.
Aries: “So The Kliq is back, The Band is back together, well ‘woo hoo’ we all know the only reason you chose Nash is cause I took Orton is out, and the only reason you chose Hall is cause wherever Nash’s ass is, Hall’s nose follows. *Next month at Driven… *what the hell? *What is going on?”
On the screen we see, Nash & Hall in a production truck
Nash: “Hello Aries, as you can see, we’re in a production booth, and my good friend Scott is not just wearing the brand new Kliq T-shirt, which you can buy on RingOfHonor.com, he has also gotten a hold of some equipment.” Hall is now seen pressing buttons.
Aries: “*you bastards, *you’re going down”
Nash: “Aries, before you get started, you might wanna know something… this right here, this isn’t live… you might wanna turn around.”
We see the Prophecy staring at the screen, and The Kliq behind them, Aries and Rollins are able to get out of the ring, but Kaval gets caught and Nash hits a Jackknife, then Triple h hits him with a pedigree; The Kliq celebrate as Aries and Rollins walk off frustrated.
The Next Week we see Aries, Rollins and Kaval, as they’re walking Coach asks then for an interview
Coach: Aries, Prophecy, after The Kliq reunited weeks ago, and you guys have been on the defensive since then, with Triple H doing media appearances, how are you gonna respond?
Aries: “Oh c’mon Coach, you say that like I didn’t know Triple H wasn’t gonna be here tonight, I always have a plain, you’ll see.”
As Aries goes to the Prophecy locker room door, we see it’s been spray painted with the word Kliq, Aries grunts as he kicks the door open; and the scene fades.
Later that night The Outsiders face off against Beer Money, the match barely gets started, when The Prophecy come out and attack the Outsiders, and The World’s Greatest Tag Team attack Beer Money, Benjamin and Haas beat down Beer Money then leave, Aries hits a Brain Buster on Hall.
Aries, Kaval, and Rollins triple team Nash, The Prophecy puts Nash’s legs in-between the ring post and Aries locks in a figure four wrapped around the post, and keeps it in until officials pull Aries off. Beer Money now come in the ring and attack Rollins and Kaval sending them out of the ring, as Nash and Hall get up, limping, they do shake the hands of Beer Money.
The Prophecy are forced into the backstage area, Aires finds the camera and starts speaking to it.
Aries: “Triple H, what you just saw tonight is the start, you can take your jokes, and take your friends who nobody’s cared about since 2002 and leave ROH with them.”
Later on RingOfHonor.com a video was released of Triple H on his bus, watching the beat-down and Aries’ promo, the camera man then asks Triple H on whats going through his mind.
Triple H: “my thoughts? I’m pissed off and angry but I can’t do anything on this bus can I? look, Hall and Nash are tough guys, they can handle business, at Driven, Aries will learn not to screw with the Kliq.”
*PURE TITLE: Danielson vs Jericho*
Jericho: “So, I guess I’ll start off saying congratulations to Kofi Kingston, who by hook or crook, as much as a hate it, did pin me last night… but I’m still owed a favor from the boss, so, while I didn’t wanna do it this way, I want my title match even more, this is how it’s gonna go down, Chris Jericho vs… Bryan Danielson for the Pure title.”
Jericho then goes out of the ring and high fives the fans around the ring, when Bryan walks down the ramp.
Bryan: “Jericho my old friend, I must say I am loving my time in ROH, think about it, I don’t have to wrestle every night, I don’t have to travel to god-knows-where, and I get to hold this nice championship belt, all things I wouldn’t get to do in other places, beating you will be easy, so you’re on”
Jericho: “Easy? Bryan, here ROH we have a wellness policy… I’m a lot of things, but easy isn’t one of them”
Bryan: “I know what I said Chris, 2012 has not been your year, You lost to Kofi Kingston, a guy who may be the future, but you’re Chris Jericho, Y2J, The Best In The World at what you do, The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla… or at least you were, if I face ‘this’ then I’ll be here for at least 4 more months, if I get the old Jericho, it’ll be harder, but the same result.”
*Sheamus vs. McIntyre vs. Steamboat*
McIntyre: I’ve been asked for months now, why did I attack Sheamus? It’s simple, for years people have seen us as equals, back in Europe people always said we should be a team, but I knew I was better, I knew I was a star, but when I came here and they put me in a team with that big waste of space, so I took matters into my own hands”
*Sheamus*
Sheamus: “Give me a good reason I don’t kick your head off right now.”
McIntyre runs out of the ring
McIntyre: “Sheamus, you deviant, always going around trying to kick people”
*Steamboat*
Steamboat: “Sheamus, I don’t appreciate you interrupting my match at Caged Collision”
Sheamus: “well maybe if you could win a match I wouldn’t have interfere, besides, this between me and McIntyre ain’t none of your business”
Steamboat: “maybe I should make it my business”
Sheamus laughs him off and goes to walk out of the ring as McIntyre rolls back in the ring and pushes Steamboat into the back of Sheamus, Sheamus turns and hits a double axe handle on Steamboat, McIntyre rolls back out of the ring and runs up the ramp as Sheamus hits a Brouge Kick on Steamboat, and pushes on the ropes and stares down McIntyre, a replay is shown of McIntyre pushing Steamboat, McIntyre laughs at Sheamus as he looks down at Steamboat with a bit of regret, but then shrugs and chases after McIntyre.
*WORLD TITLE: Edge vs. Kofi Kingston*
At the big end of September show, 2 champions in Edge and Bryan Danielson team up against their Driven opponents, Kofi Kingston and Chris Jericho, near the end of the of the match Kofi Irish whips Edge off the ropes and Bryan blind tags Edge, the momentum sends Edge right into a Trouble in Paradise, Kofi covers Edge but the ref doesn’t count and tries to tell Kofi he isn’t the legal man, when Bryan runs in and hits a stiff roundhouse kick to the head and covers for 1, 2, 3.
Jericho and Bryan stare off as Jericho hops of the apron and gives a sarcastic “golf clap” and walks up the ramp…
AUGUST:
Kofi Kingston comes out for his last comments before the PPV.
Kofi: “I came out here to tell you all what you already know, I’ve been on a roll lately, and my roll will continue, when I roll over Edge, and roll over to being the fastest World Champion in this company’s history.”
Edge: “Kofi, just shut up… It took me years to just get a shot at the title, and finally win, then even a few more years to finally the respect that comes with the big belt, Kofi all the wins and all the championships in the world can’t give you that respect, you have to earn that through years and years of hard work, so if you think you’re just gonna walk over me, and get this title not even 6 months in this company? You’re dead wrong… And I know what you’re thinking, and I’ve been there too, ramen noodles every night, driving from show to show just to get noticed, then once you make it, you get looked down upon and you have to crawl up that mountain again, but that’s what you do in this business, you keep climbing, and Kofi, your day is coming, I have no doubt that you will be the man in this company eventually, but today is not that day and at Driven, you will be in the main event, not the opening match, not the midcard, not even the upper midcard but the main event, and a main event against me, do you have those butterflies in your stomach now Kingston?”
Kofi: “Edge, I’m glad you came down here, and I’m glad you cut that nice promo cause it’ll be your last as champion, I wanted to say this next part to your face so here it goes, I had you beat weeks ago, you know it, had it not been for a blind tag I would’ve pinned the current world champion, Edge, do not take me lightly.”
Edge: “Kofi, you got lucky, the luck has been on your side lately, but one thing you need to know is that luck can only get you so far, and luck eventually runs out.“
Edge runs for a Spear on Kofi, but he leapfrogs and rolls out of the ring, Kofi smiles and signals the title on his waist, and Edge pinches his fingers and says “that close.”
*Coach runs down the card*

Edge: “Kofi, just shut up… It took me years to just get a shot at the title, and finally win, then even a few more years to finally the respect that comes with the big belt, Kofi all the wins and all the championships in the world can’t give you that respect, you have to earn that through years and years of hard work, so if you think you’re just gonna walk over me, and get this title not even 6 months in this company? You’re dead wrong… And I know what you’re thinking, and I’ve been there too, ramen noodles every night, driving from show to show just to get noticed, then once you make it, you get looked down upon and you have to crawl up that mountain again, but that’s what you do in this business, you keep climbing, and Kofi, your day is coming, I have no doubt that you will be the man in this company eventually, but today is not that day and at Driven, you will be in the main event, not the opening match, not the midcard, not even the upper midcard but the main event, and a main event against me, do you have those butterflies in your stomach now Kingston?”
Kofi: “Edge, I’m glad you came down here, and I’m glad you cut that nice promo cause it’ll be your last as champion, I wanted to say this next part to your face so here it goes, I had you beat weeks ago, you know it, had it not been for a blind tag I would’ve pinned the current world champion, Edge, do not take me lightly.”
Edge: “Kofi, you got lucky, the luck has been on your side lately, but one thing you need to know is that luck can only get you so far, and luck eventually runs out.“
Edge runs for a Spear on Kofi, but he leapfrogs and rolls out of the ring, Kofi smiles and signals the title on his waist, and Edge pinches his fingers and says “that close.”
