WWF Night of Champions 2012
Live from: the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo Japan
Theme: White Wedding by Death stars
*Play Intro*
The pyro explodes now on a huge display off the massive three screens and long ramp that make up the stage! The lights then coming up to the Japanese crowd going wild.
“Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to Tokyo Japan! We are in the Orient for Night of Champions, where tonight two of this countries natives challenge for the two biggest titles in the WWF! Jim Ross calling the action along with Jerry “The King” Lawler!”
“Oh man, what a night this is going to be JR. All the titles in the WWF on the line, 2 huge dream matches and of course Liger VS Cena for the WWF Championship! I can’t wait, let’s get going!” King replies
“Well before we do King, let’s show the people what happened moments ago here. The night kicked off exclusively on YouTube. If you missed it, there is the footage. What a 6 man tag it was as the American Wolves and Raven took on Japans own Kenta and Marufuji along with X Division bizarre one Delirious. And there you see it, after it all broke down into a brawl Kenta was able to hit the GTS and get the pinfall as the Wolves were kept at bay. Raven suffering his first loss in the WWF and King Japan went over in that one, our first match here; will it be a trend setter later tonight?”
“Perhaps so JR. Perhaps so. But Kobashi and Liger have a huge mountain to climb, especially Liger with Cena.”
“Well indeed. But right now let’s head into the ring for our first contest of the night! Take it away Fink!” JR says as we now fade to Howard Finkle in the centre of the ring.
X Division Championship
Finkle announces the opening contest and first introduces the special guest “enforcer”…
*Play Kendra*
Kendra now slowly makes her way around the ring side area to stand on the hard camera side, facing the ring as she now folds her arms and just glares up at the entrance way in wait.
“Two tag team partners, two best friends to face off here. The former 5 time WWF Tag Team Champions the Motor City Machine Guns one on one for the X Division title. And if that isn’t enough then Kendra is in the mix. Boy, is this going to be interesting” JR comments.
“Ain’t that the truth” replies King.
*Play Shelly/Sabin*
The two now both glare and stare nervously down at the narrow eyes of the enforcer. Her steely cold glare meeting them in return. They then turn back to the matter at hand, the Japanese fans now quieting respectfully with a few yells for both men as Chris and Shelly, The Guns glare across the ring at each other. Sabin now unhooks the X Division title, folds it and hands it to the official who holds it up to polite applause; he then shows it to Shelly who nods as the belt is handed out of the ring to the time keeper. Both Guns now come out of their corner as the referee gets back in between them, checks on them both and then…rings the bell! Here we go.
Both men now come in, circling each other and then finally shake hands to loud applause from the Japanese crowd.
“We’ll see how long that lasts,” says King “you know split up or not these two have had issues over the past couples of weeks, starting all around that women right there; Kendra. And what it boils down to is what it does with every great tag team. Bret Hart over Jim Neidhart, Shawn Michaels over Marty Jannetty, Jeff Hardy over Matt Hardy, Edge over Christian. Every tag team here in the WWF always eventually has a match to decide who truly will be the one that will be the break out star of the team. It’s happened with every great team in history, because you and they always wonder simply who is better. We are about to find out here for top title of their weight class the X Division title right here in the Tokyo Dome.”
After shaking hands, staring each other down, gagging the crowd and feeling each other out some more they now finally launch forward into a collar elbow tie up. Shelly at once locks in a lock on the shoulder and arm, wrenching it over his shoulder and turning into a reverse wrist lock. Sabin struggles in that for a few moments then rolls forward over the arm, rolls over on his head again to stand and then uses the momentum to break the wrist lock and turn into one of his own. Alex then rolls forward onto his back and uses his feet to kick Sabin off. Both men on their back until they both then kip up to a cheer and take a moment to loosen up the elbow joints, get their head back into the game as the crowd applauds and then a after a moment come in for each other again. They lock up again now and now Shelly goes behind right into the rear waist lock. Sabin though grabbing the arms, but Shelly keeps hold of one and swings that around into a standing wrist lock again, Sabin rolling over it to stand again but this time Alex pulls him up onto his feet and locks in a shoulder claw with the arm lock still applied. He then twists behind to go for a wait lock again, Sabin spinning back out of it, Shelly at once grabbing the head and forcing Sabin into a front face lock. Sabin then grabs the arm and twists out of it now turning into in a hammer lock. Alex twisting out of that, but Sabin keeping hold of the arm in a double wrist clutch and sweeping the legs, bringing down his knee into the shoulder as he pulls it on. We now see a shot of Kendra watching this still from ringside, arms folded, glaring into the ring as Sabin wretches in the hold on the mat.
Shelly now manages to get back onto his feet, put Sabin goes under and turns it into a wrist lock again, stomping to wrench down on the arm. Shelly is in the hold for a few moments but is then again to roll over again turning it into a wrist lock of his own again now and then turning that into a hammer lock. Sabin trying to spin to reverse it but Shelly drops down and hooks the leg, sweeping Sabin back first to the mat and then going for a leg lock, but Sabin twists over on the mat to try and kick him off, to no avail, Shelly keeping hold of the leg in almost an ankle lock now and then dropping down to his knees and locks in a modified single leg Boston crab, driving the point of the knee into the back of Sabin’s knee joint, then crossing the legs over, hooking them with his own leg and then dropping back to lock in a figure four leg lock! Sabin crying out in the pain, holding his head and shaking it at the referee as Shelly slaps the leg and wrenches back on the classic hold tighter. Sabin then able to force up to a seated position in the lock and grab Shelly’s legs, forcing them apart and then using the leg to twist Shelly onto his belly and then mount him, hooking him in a reverse body scissors and rolling over with it, pulling Shelly onto his back now and wrenching in the vice around the ribs there as he now grabs a rear chin lock, pulling back on both as Alex now cries out in pain. Shelly is now able to force out of the chin lock and then try and sit up in the body scissors, now trying to pry the legs apart, manages to do so and then turns it into a leg lock of his own in the kneeling position. Sabin then tries to twist over out of it but Shelly keeps it going and rolls him over onto his back and then pulls Sabin’s head up into the DDT position rear headlock lock now and pulling Sabin to stand in it. Sabin though as he does grabs the arm and spins out of the headlock with it and grabbing a standing side headlock now. Shelly drops to a knee for a moment but then gets back onto his feet and backs Sabin into the ropes, shooting him off and dropping down to his belly to let him run over, but as soon as he does Sabin cartwheels to stand and runs in on the standing Shelly, Shelly side stepping him and sending him into the ropes, Sabin though leaping up onto the second rope and spin boarding off into a springboard deep arm drag, throwing Shelly over to the mat. The Japanese fans cheer and applaud for that one as both men stand. Shelly now runs in for Sabin but Sabin now sends Shelly into the ropes the same way, leapfrogging over him as he comes in, Shelly though dropping down and jumping right up as Sabin lands and locks in a rear waist lock, Sabin though elbowing out of it for the first strike of the match then runs the ropes and comes in, Shelly though side stepping him and sending him over with a deep arm drag, but as they hit the mat Sabin turns that into a grounded head scissors, Shelly kipping out the that. Both men standing and turning to each other, Sabin running in , Shelly sweeping the legs and then grabbing the leg and throwing him over to stand with it, Sabin grabbing the leg on the way over to send Shelly back first to the mat and jumping over for cover for a quick 1 count. Both men now stand and turn to each other in a ready stance and finally break away to a huge erupting of applause and approval from the appreciative fans.
“Wow, what a match here. Simply catch as catch can wrestling at its finest here and a hundred miles an hour at that. Great conditioning on the part of both men” JR comments as both take a moment for a breather and then come in again.
They now come in and now Shelly nods to Sabin as he holds his hand up, Sabin coming up to meet him in the hand to hand lock up, then bringing up the other arm to lock them up as well, now driving their shoulders into each other as the push in on the hold, jocking like bulls for the position here against the other. They then loosen up but with their hands still locked and then Shelly brings up a kick to the thigh, Sabin answers back with one his own, Shelly again, Sabin, back and forth the kicks to the legs go, Sabin faking out Shelly with one as they break and then jabbing him hard in the face.
“Oh boy, here we go baby. It’s breaking down. Best friends or not, tag partners or not their tempers are flaring and its becoming about one thing and one thing only: The X Division Championship!” King exclaims.
Sabin does it again, Shelly manages to get into a defensive stance to block then somewhat now, Sabin then running to the ropes but Alex is right behind him as he backs into the ropes Shelly is there to meet him with a hard running elbow to the chops, then runs the rings and hits the opposite ropes, running in but Sabin running after him and meeting him in the ropes now with a running knee to the gut in the ropes. Sabin then grabbing the arm and twisting Shelly over, But Shelly rolling right back onto his feet, Chris though running in and over him into a sunset flip, but Shelly rolling back out of that onto his feet and swinging with a roundhouse kick to the seated Sabin, who though drops down to duck it and then grab the leg of the spinning Shelly from behind and rolls him up for 1! Both men at once stand again, Sabin hitting a back kick to the gut and then backing off and nailing a hard dropkick to the head of the bent over Shelly taking him down! You can even see Kendra nodding now on the outside, seemingly as impressed as everyone else with the great match. Sabin now pumps his fist to the cheering crowd and then comes in, pulling Shelly up into a vertical suplex position now, but turning it into a modified leg hooking octopus stretch! Dropping down with it, Shelly’s left arm trapped in the arm lock over him as he brings up the leg and hooks it over Shelly’s head, pulling back on it. Shelly cries out in the impressive hold that no one knows quite what to call but still refuses to give it in. Eventually after a few moments is able to do the only he can and that is to extend his leg and places it on the bottom rope to force the break. Sabin nod and obliges to applause from the Japanese fans as he stands.
Sabin now pulls Shelly up onto his feet by the head and runs it with it, driving it into the top turnbuckle, letting him feel it and then placing him back into the corner and hooking the arm and Irish whipping him back first into the opposite corner, running in but Shelly is able to drop down as he does, using him momentum to send him over the ring post with a back body drop, but Sabin able to use the top rope to swing around and land feet first on the apron then go to springboard up but Shelly nails him with a hard shot that sends him tumbling hard to the floor below to a massive “Oh!” From the oriental faithful. As Sabin lays out of it on the mat Kendra now comes over, almost stalking Sabin as she walks around the ring to his side and then just stands over him, hands on her hips and glaring down at him as he slowly starts to rise. He does, staring her down as he now backs off, in the ring though Shelly taking advantage of the distraction, vaulting up and over the top rope with a springboard cross body plancha, but Sabin sees this and slides back into the ring, Shelly going over and just able to land cat like on the black mats below. He then glares as Kendra as he stands and then looks up into the ring as Sabin runs the ropes, the ring and then leaps down onto him with a suicide dive! The crowd erupts in reaction and applause as both Guns lay out of it on the mats.
Finally both men rise and now Sabin grabs Shelly’s head and rolls him back into the ring, stands onto the ring apron and pulling Shelly in into a vertical suplex position over the ropes now, the crowd beginning to buzz as Chris goes to heave him up but Shelly blocks it, keeping his feet on the mat. Both men struggling against each other in position over the top rope and then finally break, Sabin grabbing the head and nailing several rabid forearm shots to the head, then swings his head in between the top and second rope but Shelly is up and catches him through the ropes with a hard clubbing blow, then a straight kick to the arm, Sabin now hanging over the second rope as Shelly runs and leaps up onto the top rope now vaulting off with a diving senton leg drop down onto the hung head of Sabin bringing him over the middle rope and back into the ring as the crowd erupt in reaction and a standing ovation for that. Shelly takes a breather, a moment to recover as he just prowls the ring, soaking in the reaction for a moment and then smugly grins as he turns back to the out of it Sabin on the mat now. He then pulls him up and pushes him open to expose the chest, licking his hand and then nailing a hard knife edge chop to the chest of his partner, Sabin falling into the ropes but then as Shelly comes in vaulting and nailing a hard knife edge of his own to Shelly’s chest now. Shelly reeling but then answering back with an overhand chop to the chest, taunting Sabin somewhat now until the Champion answers back with one of his own! Chop from Shelly that sends Sabin clutching his chest and falling now to the mat. Shelly then waits for Sabin to rise and then pulls him in, grabbing both legs for the double leg hook, throwing him down back first to the mat and then and running for the ropes, jumping off, over and down with the lionsault! Covering for 1…2…NO! First near fall of the match!
Shelly now is getting aggravated as he pulls Sabin up and now goes behind locking in the modified abdominal stretch, pulling back on it, hooking the head as the referee comes in and asks Sabin, Chris though shaking his head still refusing to give it in despite the pain. Sabin though eventually able to get out of it, the two trading shots until Shelly nails a spinning back elbow and then grabbing the head, running to the corner for sliced bread number 2 but Sabin is able to push him off into hard into the corner chest first and then as Shelly comes back in heaves him up in the fireman’s carry position, perhaps looking for that Cradle shock but Shelly is able to kick the legs and drops down behind him out of it, but Sabin turning around at once and running grabbing a side headlock but Shelly quickly heaving that up into a back suplex as Sabin tries to roll back onto his feet out of it turns it into a modified cutter! Driving Sabin’s face and body down into the mat, Sabin getting up onto his hands and knees holding his face as Shelly stands and then runs the ropes, coming in…right into a jumping straight kick to the jaw taking him down! Both men are now down as the referee begins the count, both Guns struggling to rise and eventually both do at the count of 7. Shelly then grabbing the head of Sabin and driving a hard forearm into the face, Sabin answering back with a shot of his own, back and forth the forearms go wildly now until Shelly changes it up into a backhand chop, Sabin reeling and then answering back with a chop of his own, back and forth a chop war now goes with woos from the Japanese fans imitating their American cousins. Shelly then going back to the forearm shot, Sabin answering back with a kick to the gut and then comes in and under hooks the waist nailing the reverse atomic drop, keeping hold of the arm as he breaks it and then swings with a closeline but Shelly ducks it and hooks the rear waist lock, Sabin dropping forward out of it into a back kick to the knee sending Shelly falling, hobbling away in pain into the corner. Sabin going back into the opposite corner and then running in and nailing a jumping flying back elbow down into the head there and then backs off again, running for the opposite corner but Shelly running after him and nailing a hard closeline in the corner to Sabin! Shelly then running for the opposite corner but now Sabin runs right after him into him there and nails the face wash kick to the head! The crowd applauding as Sabin rests over the top rope exhausted as Shelly is out and downed in the corner. Sabin then pulls Shelly up and sends him over with a quick snapmare, then heads back to the corner and up onto ring apron now, vaulting up onto the top rope with and down onto Shelly with a springboard swinging DDT! Sabin running around to cover for 1….2…NO! Shelly gets the shoulder up as again the respectful Tokyo crowd erupt in a standing ovation for this one.
“My God what a match! And this is just the first folks! Man!” JR exclaims.
“I’m exhausted just watching this!” King calls back.
Sabin his now up into a seated position, holding his hands in his hair in disbelief that that wasn’t it. A reply of the amazing move is show and then now we are back live in Japan as Sabin is pulling himself up using the ropes then heads to the outside and vaults up onto the rope and in right into an arm bar from Shelly, forcing Sabin to the mat in it and then locks in the cross face!!! The crowd exploding as Sabin cries out in pain, still refusing to give it in but Shelly pulling back hard on the hold, yelling for his tag partner to give it in, to give him the title. After a few moments when Sabin still refuses to give it Shelly hooks both arms and rolls over turning it into a backslide, rolling back onto his feet with Sabin in a sleeper hold now and then going now for the double under hook back suplex but Sabin manages to force back down onto his feet, then corners it into a double under hook of his own, Shelly though kicking over to the rope and placing his foot there to force the break. The referee separate the two exhausted, beat men as they take a moment and then come in for each other again. Shelly now still in the corner as Sabin runs in…but is caught and driven down into the second turnbuckle pad with the complete shot! The crowd again erupting is disbelief as Sabin is just hanging on the pad as Shelly drops away. Shelly now feeding off the yelling crowd now, many now on his side as he’s on the apron himself now, looking out as Sabin rises and then vaults up onto the top rope but Sabin catches him, heaving him back up to rest his feet on the top rope, bridging over into his grip and then nails the hanging swinging neckbreaker! Driving Shelly into the mat and covering for 1…2…NO!!! Shelly kicks out again. Both men now just lay out of it on the mat the crowd standing and erupts in applause again.
Shelly then stands but Sabin comes in behind and double under hook the arms sending him back over with the reverse double under hook suplex into a bridge for 1…2…NO!!! Again Shelly kicks out! Again both men lying out of it, Sabin is just exhaustion and disbelief now as he rises. Both men now stand and go for each other again, Shelly nailing face wash slaps, Sabin nailing a spinning back kick to the gut to stop that and then nails a ensurguri! Then hitting the ropes as Shelly reels but then comes back and takes him down with a running closeline! He then quickly pulls Sabin up onto his feet and pulls him in and then nails the Shellshock! Covering for 1....2….NO!!!! NO! Sabin kicks out! Sabin by God kicks out! Again roaring applause as now is Shelly is crumbling to the mat, holding his head in disbelief.
He just lays there for a few moments but then rises and now heads out and onto the top rope…but Sabin is up and runs in! Nailing Shelly to perch him on the top rope and then wails away with hard knife edge chops! He then positions the legs and then heads up, setting up for the super frakensteiner, but Shelly holds on and blocks it! Letting Sabin fall down hard into the mat and then coming off and pulling Sabin in and nailing a powerbomb but Sabin reverses that into a roll up for 1…2…NO!!!
Both men now fall away from each other and then rise, Sabin pulling himself over into the corner. The referee checking on Shelly when Kendra nails him with a hard shot! She then grabs his head and drives it hard into the ring post! The crowd booing as Sabin back out cold to the centre of the ring. Shelly has seen this even though the referee hasn’t staring at Kendra and then…shrugs. He then heads out and onto the top rope flying off with a frog splash and covering for 1…2…3!!!
The crowd gives a loud mixed reaction as Shelly’s music hits.
“Here is your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation X Division Champion! Alex Shelly!”
The crowd is not happy about the finish and indeed perhaps the result but they can’t help but give a standing ovation for that incredible match. Shelly now rises, sweat pouring from his head but a smile broad across his face as he pulls in the X Division Championship in joy, hugging it and then holding it up to a loud mixed reaction, mostly cheer though despite the ending. He then hugs the belt to himself again and looks out at Kendra who is now at the bottom of the ramp, her belly shaking as though…laughing at what has happened.
“Man that…women! We had a classic, a classic for the X division title here and she had to go ruin it and cost her former flame the X Division Championship! Damn it!”
“And Shelly knew it JR! He saw it but still took advantage. Smart, but very shady if you ask me. Man…looks at Kendra. She got her revenge here tonight for sure. Chris Sabin and women do not mix that is for sure” King responds.
Kendra now turns and leaves, stormily proudly up the ramp to the back. In the ring now the music dies and Sabin is helped to his feet by the referee but pushes him off! He then goes over in pure rage and pushes Shelly, yelling furiously at him. Alex for his part shoves back. The two getting into a heated, rage filled exchange of words as a reinforcement of referees separate them and force Sabin out the ring and up to the back. But he yells a word that is certainly not PG as he spits and turns away storming up the ramp to the back. In the ring Shelly looking on after him but, looking conflicted but then turns back to the crowd and holds the X Division title, his X Division title up to them.
“Well be it controversial or not, there is your new X Division Champion and boy is there going to be hell to pay” JR calls as we now fade out from Shelly’s celebration.
Women’s Title Fatal Four Way Elimination
*Play Trish/Hamada/Daffney/Mickie*
Trish cradles the women’s championship belt to herself as she enters the ring, looking around into the other corners at her opponents who are looking at her and the belt with hungry, predatory eyes.
“We learned this past week on Raw that this would be an elimination match. Will that make it easier or harder for the champion?” JR asks as finally, reluctantly Trish surrenders the championship belt. The ref having to almost pull it off her and now shows it to the other three women, who glare down at it and then around the ring as each other as the referee holds the title belt up. Daffney with crazed eyes, Hamada and Mickie with determination and Trish with a look of fear. The referee then hands the belt out, comes forward and rings the bell.
All three women at once run out of their corners, Mickie and Hamada running right for Trish as darts out through the ropes, but just as they are about to stop her they bump into each other and start exchanging heated words, allowing Trish to get out of the ring and around the ringside area. Mickie and Hamada now exploding into right hands back and forth as Daffney now comes in from behind and nails with both from behind, she then grabs Mickie and hammers into her body and then head but turns around right into Hamada who takes her over with a belly to belly. Daffney rolls through the stands from that coming in and ducking a kick, hitting the ropes and coming back with a running cross body block taking Hamada down. But as she rises Mickie is back and drives her into the mat with a reverse DDT and covers for a quick 2 count. On the outside now Trish is watching this with wide eyes, making sure to stay out of sight and out of mind, to which King comments is the smartest strategy she can do. Mickie now pulls Daffney up and shoots her off the ropes going for a chick kick but Daffney ducks it and then turns her around wailing away and then locking in a side headlock. And then as Hamada comes in leaps up still with the headlock applied and hooks her legs onto Hamada’s shoulder sending her over with a hurricanrana and as she falls hits a bulldog on Mickie at the same time! The Japanese fans react and applaud for that one as Daffney rises.
She then pulls up Mickie and goes for the Daffney Knees but Mickie throws her off to the mat and then drops an elbow and finds 2. She now picks Daffney up and wails away with hard forearm shots when Hamada comes in and drives her into the mat with a running bulldog, then stands and takes Daffney down with a closeline. She turns now to Mickie and takes her over with a hip toss, then one to Daffney, closeline to Mickie, closeline to Daffney, a double suplex on then both! She then finishes that up with a leg drop and covers for 2 on Daffney. Hamada now lifts Daffney off the mat and now locks in a butterfly lock on her for a few moments, Daffney struggling in the hold until she is able to get up a few knees into the head and send her stumbling up and around into Mickie who drives her down with the DDT for 1…2…NO! Daffney breaks it up. Mickie now rises and hammers Daffney away, then kicks her in the gut and sends her over with a hard snap suplex. Mickie stands from that out of the breath now and looks over seeing Trish standing on the outside. Trish shakes her head and has already started to run as Mickie points at her to a cheer and heads to the outside, chasing her around the ring, Trish having nowhere to go runs into the ring, turning and backing up…right into Hamada who grabs her pulls her in and drives her down with the Thunder Fire powerbomb! She then covers for 1…2…NO! Mickie breaks it up and pulls Hamada up firing away with forearms, Hamada firing right back as the two trade blows back and forth again. But then in run Daffney with a split legged dropkick to them both, one leg each sending them away. She then sets Hamada up and locks in the dragon sleeper now, heaving her up in it and then throwing her over with the dragon suplex, standing from that and running over into a cover but before she can Mickie is there. She then throws Daffney to the corner and follows up with a reverse DDT on the rebound. She then heads to the top rope and flies off with a missile dropkick taking Daffney down. She stands from that but does so right into Hamada who nails the neckbreaker and covers for 2.
Hamada now is pulling Mickie up when from behind comes Trish who rolls her up for 1…2…NO! Trish quickly darts from the ring out of it before Hamada can rise, Hamada chasing after her but in comes Daffney from behind, Hamada though sees it and capture her coming in with the Hamada Chan cutter for 1…2…3! Daffney is eliminated! She rolls out of the ring as Finkle confirms it, being helped up and taken to the back by the officials. In the ring now Mickie and Hamada now rise and look over at each other, both pointing that they are going for Trish who is stood swallowing hard now on the outside. But both get into a heated argument about it and then explode into shots back and forth they go until Mickie kicks Hamada in the gut and hits the ropes coming back but gets captures the La Ayakita submission, the head scissors vice, the arm trapped as Hamada coils around the body, Mickie falling now to her knees as she starts to wilt in the hold, finally falling to the mat as Hamada now turns it into a modified cross arm breaker with a head scissors on the mat. Mickie is now in real trouble, fading in the hold now as the crowd now starts to clap trying to will her on, but many yelling for Hamada to put her away, this is her home country after all. Finally though Mickie is able to shuffle her feet, outstretch her foot and get the bottom rope! The referee ordering the break and getting it. Hamada though goes right back to work picking Mickie up and now going for the hold again but Mickie turning it this time into the Celtic Cross and cover for 1…2…NO! Hamada powers the shoulder off the mat! Mickie is now growing frustrated as she picks Hamada up and now gets her up for the Mickie DDT, but Hamada reverses that into a overhead gut wrench suplex with a bridge for 2. Both women stand and go for each other again, Mickie taking Hamada over with a headlock takedown and locking it in on the mat until Hamada powers onto her feet and shoots her off the ropes, running in but Mickie leapfrogs over her then hits the ropes and comes back with a flying back elbow. She follows that up with two hip tosses and then a scoop slam and then heads to the apron and onto the top rope…but Hamada is back, runs in and heaves her off of it and down onto the canvas below! Hamada gets two off of that and now picks Mickie up, setting her up now for the AP cross but Mickie able to reverse it, drop down behind and as Hamada turns nail the chick kick for 1…2…NO!!! Hamada just kicks out; Mickie now shakes her head as she falls back, the Japanese crowd cheering on their own.
Mickie now pulls Hamada up and now goes for the Mickie DDT again but Hamada manages to reverse that into an overhead belly to belly sending her away. She then comes in and goes for the superplex but Mickie rolls out of that and fires away with right forearms shots, Hamada then kicking her in the gut and heaving her up for the powerbomb but Mickie reverses that into a frakensteiner into a roll up, hooking the legs for 1…2…NO!!! Hamada kicks out again, and again the crowd roar as Mickie falls away in disbelief again. After a few moments she then comes in pulls Hamada up but Hamada it able to reverse that into a sleeper slam and then rises, heading now to the top rope and rising up there…but Mickie it back up! She runs in, up onto the second rope and drives Hamada down off the top rope with a Mickie DDT! Covering for 1…2…3!!! A loud mixed reaction to that, but mostly applause as Hamada is announced eliminated. But as JR points out “it took everyone Mickie had and more to do it and now we are down to…” But before JR can finish the sentence Trish has hit the ring with the women’s title belt as Mickie rises slowly from the battle and turns right into a blasting running shot with the championship belt! The fans booing as Trish throws the aside and yells at the referee as she drops down and covers.
“And damit it’s legal. No DQ here…damn it!” JR yells as the referee counts 1…2…NO!!! Mickie kicks out! Mickie kicks out a thunderous reaction and applause “She won’t give in! Mickie will not give in after all she had done to get this far! To get her chance for vengeance on Trish for summer!”
Trish is now furious, gritting her pearly whites as he pulls Mickie up and then sets up the title before running up the corner, off the ropes and down onto the title belt with the Stratisfaction bulldog for 1…2…3!!!
“Damit!” JR yells as the bell rings and Trish falls back to the back grinning and is handed her title belt as it’s announced: “Here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Trish Stratus!”
“Trish took advantage of every else’s work, especially Mickies in what it took to beat Hamada and came in the back door to retain! That jezebel!”
“It’s smart JR! Trish Stratus always finds away, every month she finds a way and she did once again here to tonight, a way to walk away with her title.”
Trish now stands with a huge grin on her face as she holds up her title belt to loud boos and then heads out of the ring, the smile permanently there as she clutches it and walks up the long ramp to the back, through hell or high water still the women’s champion!

The pyro explodes now on a huge display off the massive three screens and long ramp that make up the stage! The lights then coming up to the Japanese crowd going wild.
“Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to Tokyo Japan! We are in the Orient for Night of Champions, where tonight two of this countries natives challenge for the two biggest titles in the WWF! Jim Ross calling the action along with Jerry “The King” Lawler!”
“Oh man, what a night this is going to be JR. All the titles in the WWF on the line, 2 huge dream matches and of course Liger VS Cena for the WWF Championship! I can’t wait, let’s get going!” King replies
“Well before we do King, let’s show the people what happened moments ago here. The night kicked off exclusively on YouTube. If you missed it, there is the footage. What a 6 man tag it was as the American Wolves and Raven took on Japans own Kenta and Marufuji along with X Division bizarre one Delirious. And there you see it, after it all broke down into a brawl Kenta was able to hit the GTS and get the pinfall as the Wolves were kept at bay. Raven suffering his first loss in the WWF and King Japan went over in that one, our first match here; will it be a trend setter later tonight?”
“Perhaps so JR. Perhaps so. But Kobashi and Liger have a huge mountain to climb, especially Liger with Cena.”
“Well indeed. But right now let’s head into the ring for our first contest of the night! Take it away Fink!” JR says as we now fade to Howard Finkle in the centre of the ring.
X Division Championship
Finkle announces the opening contest and first introduces the special guest “enforcer”…
*Play Kendra*
Kendra now slowly makes her way around the ring side area to stand on the hard camera side, facing the ring as she now folds her arms and just glares up at the entrance way in wait.
“Two tag team partners, two best friends to face off here. The former 5 time WWF Tag Team Champions the Motor City Machine Guns one on one for the X Division title. And if that isn’t enough then Kendra is in the mix. Boy, is this going to be interesting” JR comments.
“Ain’t that the truth” replies King.
*Play Shelly/Sabin*
The two now both glare and stare nervously down at the narrow eyes of the enforcer. Her steely cold glare meeting them in return. They then turn back to the matter at hand, the Japanese fans now quieting respectfully with a few yells for both men as Chris and Shelly, The Guns glare across the ring at each other. Sabin now unhooks the X Division title, folds it and hands it to the official who holds it up to polite applause; he then shows it to Shelly who nods as the belt is handed out of the ring to the time keeper. Both Guns now come out of their corner as the referee gets back in between them, checks on them both and then…rings the bell! Here we go.
Both men now come in, circling each other and then finally shake hands to loud applause from the Japanese crowd.
“We’ll see how long that lasts,” says King “you know split up or not these two have had issues over the past couples of weeks, starting all around that women right there; Kendra. And what it boils down to is what it does with every great tag team. Bret Hart over Jim Neidhart, Shawn Michaels over Marty Jannetty, Jeff Hardy over Matt Hardy, Edge over Christian. Every tag team here in the WWF always eventually has a match to decide who truly will be the one that will be the break out star of the team. It’s happened with every great team in history, because you and they always wonder simply who is better. We are about to find out here for top title of their weight class the X Division title right here in the Tokyo Dome.”
After shaking hands, staring each other down, gagging the crowd and feeling each other out some more they now finally launch forward into a collar elbow tie up. Shelly at once locks in a lock on the shoulder and arm, wrenching it over his shoulder and turning into a reverse wrist lock. Sabin struggles in that for a few moments then rolls forward over the arm, rolls over on his head again to stand and then uses the momentum to break the wrist lock and turn into one of his own. Alex then rolls forward onto his back and uses his feet to kick Sabin off. Both men on their back until they both then kip up to a cheer and take a moment to loosen up the elbow joints, get their head back into the game as the crowd applauds and then a after a moment come in for each other again. They lock up again now and now Shelly goes behind right into the rear waist lock. Sabin though grabbing the arms, but Shelly keeps hold of one and swings that around into a standing wrist lock again, Sabin rolling over it to stand again but this time Alex pulls him up onto his feet and locks in a shoulder claw with the arm lock still applied. He then twists behind to go for a wait lock again, Sabin spinning back out of it, Shelly at once grabbing the head and forcing Sabin into a front face lock. Sabin then grabs the arm and twists out of it now turning into in a hammer lock. Alex twisting out of that, but Sabin keeping hold of the arm in a double wrist clutch and sweeping the legs, bringing down his knee into the shoulder as he pulls it on. We now see a shot of Kendra watching this still from ringside, arms folded, glaring into the ring as Sabin wretches in the hold on the mat.
Shelly now manages to get back onto his feet, put Sabin goes under and turns it into a wrist lock again, stomping to wrench down on the arm. Shelly is in the hold for a few moments but is then again to roll over again turning it into a wrist lock of his own again now and then turning that into a hammer lock. Sabin trying to spin to reverse it but Shelly drops down and hooks the leg, sweeping Sabin back first to the mat and then going for a leg lock, but Sabin twists over on the mat to try and kick him off, to no avail, Shelly keeping hold of the leg in almost an ankle lock now and then dropping down to his knees and locks in a modified single leg Boston crab, driving the point of the knee into the back of Sabin’s knee joint, then crossing the legs over, hooking them with his own leg and then dropping back to lock in a figure four leg lock! Sabin crying out in the pain, holding his head and shaking it at the referee as Shelly slaps the leg and wrenches back on the classic hold tighter. Sabin then able to force up to a seated position in the lock and grab Shelly’s legs, forcing them apart and then using the leg to twist Shelly onto his belly and then mount him, hooking him in a reverse body scissors and rolling over with it, pulling Shelly onto his back now and wrenching in the vice around the ribs there as he now grabs a rear chin lock, pulling back on both as Alex now cries out in pain. Shelly is now able to force out of the chin lock and then try and sit up in the body scissors, now trying to pry the legs apart, manages to do so and then turns it into a leg lock of his own in the kneeling position. Sabin then tries to twist over out of it but Shelly keeps it going and rolls him over onto his back and then pulls Sabin’s head up into the DDT position rear headlock lock now and pulling Sabin to stand in it. Sabin though as he does grabs the arm and spins out of the headlock with it and grabbing a standing side headlock now. Shelly drops to a knee for a moment but then gets back onto his feet and backs Sabin into the ropes, shooting him off and dropping down to his belly to let him run over, but as soon as he does Sabin cartwheels to stand and runs in on the standing Shelly, Shelly side stepping him and sending him into the ropes, Sabin though leaping up onto the second rope and spin boarding off into a springboard deep arm drag, throwing Shelly over to the mat. The Japanese fans cheer and applaud for that one as both men stand. Shelly now runs in for Sabin but Sabin now sends Shelly into the ropes the same way, leapfrogging over him as he comes in, Shelly though dropping down and jumping right up as Sabin lands and locks in a rear waist lock, Sabin though elbowing out of it for the first strike of the match then runs the ropes and comes in, Shelly though side stepping him and sending him over with a deep arm drag, but as they hit the mat Sabin turns that into a grounded head scissors, Shelly kipping out the that. Both men standing and turning to each other, Sabin running in , Shelly sweeping the legs and then grabbing the leg and throwing him over to stand with it, Sabin grabbing the leg on the way over to send Shelly back first to the mat and jumping over for cover for a quick 1 count. Both men now stand and turn to each other in a ready stance and finally break away to a huge erupting of applause and approval from the appreciative fans.
“Wow, what a match here. Simply catch as catch can wrestling at its finest here and a hundred miles an hour at that. Great conditioning on the part of both men” JR comments as both take a moment for a breather and then come in again.
They now come in and now Shelly nods to Sabin as he holds his hand up, Sabin coming up to meet him in the hand to hand lock up, then bringing up the other arm to lock them up as well, now driving their shoulders into each other as the push in on the hold, jocking like bulls for the position here against the other. They then loosen up but with their hands still locked and then Shelly brings up a kick to the thigh, Sabin answers back with one his own, Shelly again, Sabin, back and forth the kicks to the legs go, Sabin faking out Shelly with one as they break and then jabbing him hard in the face.
“Oh boy, here we go baby. It’s breaking down. Best friends or not, tag partners or not their tempers are flaring and its becoming about one thing and one thing only: The X Division Championship!” King exclaims.
Sabin does it again, Shelly manages to get into a defensive stance to block then somewhat now, Sabin then running to the ropes but Alex is right behind him as he backs into the ropes Shelly is there to meet him with a hard running elbow to the chops, then runs the rings and hits the opposite ropes, running in but Sabin running after him and meeting him in the ropes now with a running knee to the gut in the ropes. Sabin then grabbing the arm and twisting Shelly over, But Shelly rolling right back onto his feet, Chris though running in and over him into a sunset flip, but Shelly rolling back out of that onto his feet and swinging with a roundhouse kick to the seated Sabin, who though drops down to duck it and then grab the leg of the spinning Shelly from behind and rolls him up for 1! Both men at once stand again, Sabin hitting a back kick to the gut and then backing off and nailing a hard dropkick to the head of the bent over Shelly taking him down! You can even see Kendra nodding now on the outside, seemingly as impressed as everyone else with the great match. Sabin now pumps his fist to the cheering crowd and then comes in, pulling Shelly up into a vertical suplex position now, but turning it into a modified leg hooking octopus stretch! Dropping down with it, Shelly’s left arm trapped in the arm lock over him as he brings up the leg and hooks it over Shelly’s head, pulling back on it. Shelly cries out in the impressive hold that no one knows quite what to call but still refuses to give it in. Eventually after a few moments is able to do the only he can and that is to extend his leg and places it on the bottom rope to force the break. Sabin nod and obliges to applause from the Japanese fans as he stands.
Sabin now pulls Shelly up onto his feet by the head and runs it with it, driving it into the top turnbuckle, letting him feel it and then placing him back into the corner and hooking the arm and Irish whipping him back first into the opposite corner, running in but Shelly is able to drop down as he does, using him momentum to send him over the ring post with a back body drop, but Sabin able to use the top rope to swing around and land feet first on the apron then go to springboard up but Shelly nails him with a hard shot that sends him tumbling hard to the floor below to a massive “Oh!” From the oriental faithful. As Sabin lays out of it on the mat Kendra now comes over, almost stalking Sabin as she walks around the ring to his side and then just stands over him, hands on her hips and glaring down at him as he slowly starts to rise. He does, staring her down as he now backs off, in the ring though Shelly taking advantage of the distraction, vaulting up and over the top rope with a springboard cross body plancha, but Sabin sees this and slides back into the ring, Shelly going over and just able to land cat like on the black mats below. He then glares as Kendra as he stands and then looks up into the ring as Sabin runs the ropes, the ring and then leaps down onto him with a suicide dive! The crowd erupts in reaction and applause as both Guns lay out of it on the mats.
Finally both men rise and now Sabin grabs Shelly’s head and rolls him back into the ring, stands onto the ring apron and pulling Shelly in into a vertical suplex position over the ropes now, the crowd beginning to buzz as Chris goes to heave him up but Shelly blocks it, keeping his feet on the mat. Both men struggling against each other in position over the top rope and then finally break, Sabin grabbing the head and nailing several rabid forearm shots to the head, then swings his head in between the top and second rope but Shelly is up and catches him through the ropes with a hard clubbing blow, then a straight kick to the arm, Sabin now hanging over the second rope as Shelly runs and leaps up onto the top rope now vaulting off with a diving senton leg drop down onto the hung head of Sabin bringing him over the middle rope and back into the ring as the crowd erupt in reaction and a standing ovation for that. Shelly takes a breather, a moment to recover as he just prowls the ring, soaking in the reaction for a moment and then smugly grins as he turns back to the out of it Sabin on the mat now. He then pulls him up and pushes him open to expose the chest, licking his hand and then nailing a hard knife edge chop to the chest of his partner, Sabin falling into the ropes but then as Shelly comes in vaulting and nailing a hard knife edge of his own to Shelly’s chest now. Shelly reeling but then answering back with an overhand chop to the chest, taunting Sabin somewhat now until the Champion answers back with one of his own! Chop from Shelly that sends Sabin clutching his chest and falling now to the mat. Shelly then waits for Sabin to rise and then pulls him in, grabbing both legs for the double leg hook, throwing him down back first to the mat and then and running for the ropes, jumping off, over and down with the lionsault! Covering for 1…2…NO! First near fall of the match!
Shelly now is getting aggravated as he pulls Sabin up and now goes behind locking in the modified abdominal stretch, pulling back on it, hooking the head as the referee comes in and asks Sabin, Chris though shaking his head still refusing to give it in despite the pain. Sabin though eventually able to get out of it, the two trading shots until Shelly nails a spinning back elbow and then grabbing the head, running to the corner for sliced bread number 2 but Sabin is able to push him off into hard into the corner chest first and then as Shelly comes back in heaves him up in the fireman’s carry position, perhaps looking for that Cradle shock but Shelly is able to kick the legs and drops down behind him out of it, but Sabin turning around at once and running grabbing a side headlock but Shelly quickly heaving that up into a back suplex as Sabin tries to roll back onto his feet out of it turns it into a modified cutter! Driving Sabin’s face and body down into the mat, Sabin getting up onto his hands and knees holding his face as Shelly stands and then runs the ropes, coming in…right into a jumping straight kick to the jaw taking him down! Both men are now down as the referee begins the count, both Guns struggling to rise and eventually both do at the count of 7. Shelly then grabbing the head of Sabin and driving a hard forearm into the face, Sabin answering back with a shot of his own, back and forth the forearms go wildly now until Shelly changes it up into a backhand chop, Sabin reeling and then answering back with a chop of his own, back and forth a chop war now goes with woos from the Japanese fans imitating their American cousins. Shelly then going back to the forearm shot, Sabin answering back with a kick to the gut and then comes in and under hooks the waist nailing the reverse atomic drop, keeping hold of the arm as he breaks it and then swings with a closeline but Shelly ducks it and hooks the rear waist lock, Sabin dropping forward out of it into a back kick to the knee sending Shelly falling, hobbling away in pain into the corner. Sabin going back into the opposite corner and then running in and nailing a jumping flying back elbow down into the head there and then backs off again, running for the opposite corner but Shelly running after him and nailing a hard closeline in the corner to Sabin! Shelly then running for the opposite corner but now Sabin runs right after him into him there and nails the face wash kick to the head! The crowd applauding as Sabin rests over the top rope exhausted as Shelly is out and downed in the corner. Sabin then pulls Shelly up and sends him over with a quick snapmare, then heads back to the corner and up onto ring apron now, vaulting up onto the top rope with and down onto Shelly with a springboard swinging DDT! Sabin running around to cover for 1….2…NO! Shelly gets the shoulder up as again the respectful Tokyo crowd erupt in a standing ovation for this one.
“My God what a match! And this is just the first folks! Man!” JR exclaims.
“I’m exhausted just watching this!” King calls back.
Sabin his now up into a seated position, holding his hands in his hair in disbelief that that wasn’t it. A reply of the amazing move is show and then now we are back live in Japan as Sabin is pulling himself up using the ropes then heads to the outside and vaults up onto the rope and in right into an arm bar from Shelly, forcing Sabin to the mat in it and then locks in the cross face!!! The crowd exploding as Sabin cries out in pain, still refusing to give it in but Shelly pulling back hard on the hold, yelling for his tag partner to give it in, to give him the title. After a few moments when Sabin still refuses to give it Shelly hooks both arms and rolls over turning it into a backslide, rolling back onto his feet with Sabin in a sleeper hold now and then going now for the double under hook back suplex but Sabin manages to force back down onto his feet, then corners it into a double under hook of his own, Shelly though kicking over to the rope and placing his foot there to force the break. The referee separate the two exhausted, beat men as they take a moment and then come in for each other again. Shelly now still in the corner as Sabin runs in…but is caught and driven down into the second turnbuckle pad with the complete shot! The crowd again erupting is disbelief as Sabin is just hanging on the pad as Shelly drops away. Shelly now feeding off the yelling crowd now, many now on his side as he’s on the apron himself now, looking out as Sabin rises and then vaults up onto the top rope but Sabin catches him, heaving him back up to rest his feet on the top rope, bridging over into his grip and then nails the hanging swinging neckbreaker! Driving Shelly into the mat and covering for 1…2…NO!!! Shelly kicks out again. Both men now just lay out of it on the mat the crowd standing and erupts in applause again.
Shelly then stands but Sabin comes in behind and double under hook the arms sending him back over with the reverse double under hook suplex into a bridge for 1…2…NO!!! Again Shelly kicks out! Again both men lying out of it, Sabin is just exhaustion and disbelief now as he rises. Both men now stand and go for each other again, Shelly nailing face wash slaps, Sabin nailing a spinning back kick to the gut to stop that and then nails a ensurguri! Then hitting the ropes as Shelly reels but then comes back and takes him down with a running closeline! He then quickly pulls Sabin up onto his feet and pulls him in and then nails the Shellshock! Covering for 1....2….NO!!!! NO! Sabin kicks out! Sabin by God kicks out! Again roaring applause as now is Shelly is crumbling to the mat, holding his head in disbelief.
He just lays there for a few moments but then rises and now heads out and onto the top rope…but Sabin is up and runs in! Nailing Shelly to perch him on the top rope and then wails away with hard knife edge chops! He then positions the legs and then heads up, setting up for the super frakensteiner, but Shelly holds on and blocks it! Letting Sabin fall down hard into the mat and then coming off and pulling Sabin in and nailing a powerbomb but Sabin reverses that into a roll up for 1…2…NO!!!
Both men now fall away from each other and then rise, Sabin pulling himself over into the corner. The referee checking on Shelly when Kendra nails him with a hard shot! She then grabs his head and drives it hard into the ring post! The crowd booing as Sabin back out cold to the centre of the ring. Shelly has seen this even though the referee hasn’t staring at Kendra and then…shrugs. He then heads out and onto the top rope flying off with a frog splash and covering for 1…2…3!!!
The crowd gives a loud mixed reaction as Shelly’s music hits.
“Here is your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation X Division Champion! Alex Shelly!”
The crowd is not happy about the finish and indeed perhaps the result but they can’t help but give a standing ovation for that incredible match. Shelly now rises, sweat pouring from his head but a smile broad across his face as he pulls in the X Division Championship in joy, hugging it and then holding it up to a loud mixed reaction, mostly cheer though despite the ending. He then hugs the belt to himself again and looks out at Kendra who is now at the bottom of the ramp, her belly shaking as though…laughing at what has happened.
“Man that…women! We had a classic, a classic for the X division title here and she had to go ruin it and cost her former flame the X Division Championship! Damn it!”
“And Shelly knew it JR! He saw it but still took advantage. Smart, but very shady if you ask me. Man…looks at Kendra. She got her revenge here tonight for sure. Chris Sabin and women do not mix that is for sure” King responds.
Kendra now turns and leaves, stormily proudly up the ramp to the back. In the ring now the music dies and Sabin is helped to his feet by the referee but pushes him off! He then goes over in pure rage and pushes Shelly, yelling furiously at him. Alex for his part shoves back. The two getting into a heated, rage filled exchange of words as a reinforcement of referees separate them and force Sabin out the ring and up to the back. But he yells a word that is certainly not PG as he spits and turns away storming up the ramp to the back. In the ring Shelly looking on after him but, looking conflicted but then turns back to the crowd and holds the X Division title, his X Division title up to them.
“Well be it controversial or not, there is your new X Division Champion and boy is there going to be hell to pay” JR calls as we now fade out from Shelly’s celebration.
Women’s Title Fatal Four Way Elimination
*Play Trish/Hamada/Daffney/Mickie*
Trish cradles the women’s championship belt to herself as she enters the ring, looking around into the other corners at her opponents who are looking at her and the belt with hungry, predatory eyes.
“We learned this past week on Raw that this would be an elimination match. Will that make it easier or harder for the champion?” JR asks as finally, reluctantly Trish surrenders the championship belt. The ref having to almost pull it off her and now shows it to the other three women, who glare down at it and then around the ring as each other as the referee holds the title belt up. Daffney with crazed eyes, Hamada and Mickie with determination and Trish with a look of fear. The referee then hands the belt out, comes forward and rings the bell.
All three women at once run out of their corners, Mickie and Hamada running right for Trish as darts out through the ropes, but just as they are about to stop her they bump into each other and start exchanging heated words, allowing Trish to get out of the ring and around the ringside area. Mickie and Hamada now exploding into right hands back and forth as Daffney now comes in from behind and nails with both from behind, she then grabs Mickie and hammers into her body and then head but turns around right into Hamada who takes her over with a belly to belly. Daffney rolls through the stands from that coming in and ducking a kick, hitting the ropes and coming back with a running cross body block taking Hamada down. But as she rises Mickie is back and drives her into the mat with a reverse DDT and covers for a quick 2 count. On the outside now Trish is watching this with wide eyes, making sure to stay out of sight and out of mind, to which King comments is the smartest strategy she can do. Mickie now pulls Daffney up and shoots her off the ropes going for a chick kick but Daffney ducks it and then turns her around wailing away and then locking in a side headlock. And then as Hamada comes in leaps up still with the headlock applied and hooks her legs onto Hamada’s shoulder sending her over with a hurricanrana and as she falls hits a bulldog on Mickie at the same time! The Japanese fans react and applaud for that one as Daffney rises.
She then pulls up Mickie and goes for the Daffney Knees but Mickie throws her off to the mat and then drops an elbow and finds 2. She now picks Daffney up and wails away with hard forearm shots when Hamada comes in and drives her into the mat with a running bulldog, then stands and takes Daffney down with a closeline. She turns now to Mickie and takes her over with a hip toss, then one to Daffney, closeline to Mickie, closeline to Daffney, a double suplex on then both! She then finishes that up with a leg drop and covers for 2 on Daffney. Hamada now lifts Daffney off the mat and now locks in a butterfly lock on her for a few moments, Daffney struggling in the hold until she is able to get up a few knees into the head and send her stumbling up and around into Mickie who drives her down with the DDT for 1…2…NO! Daffney breaks it up. Mickie now rises and hammers Daffney away, then kicks her in the gut and sends her over with a hard snap suplex. Mickie stands from that out of the breath now and looks over seeing Trish standing on the outside. Trish shakes her head and has already started to run as Mickie points at her to a cheer and heads to the outside, chasing her around the ring, Trish having nowhere to go runs into the ring, turning and backing up…right into Hamada who grabs her pulls her in and drives her down with the Thunder Fire powerbomb! She then covers for 1…2…NO! Mickie breaks it up and pulls Hamada up firing away with forearms, Hamada firing right back as the two trade blows back and forth again. But then in run Daffney with a split legged dropkick to them both, one leg each sending them away. She then sets Hamada up and locks in the dragon sleeper now, heaving her up in it and then throwing her over with the dragon suplex, standing from that and running over into a cover but before she can Mickie is there. She then throws Daffney to the corner and follows up with a reverse DDT on the rebound. She then heads to the top rope and flies off with a missile dropkick taking Daffney down. She stands from that but does so right into Hamada who nails the neckbreaker and covers for 2.
Hamada now is pulling Mickie up when from behind comes Trish who rolls her up for 1…2…NO! Trish quickly darts from the ring out of it before Hamada can rise, Hamada chasing after her but in comes Daffney from behind, Hamada though sees it and capture her coming in with the Hamada Chan cutter for 1…2…3! Daffney is eliminated! She rolls out of the ring as Finkle confirms it, being helped up and taken to the back by the officials. In the ring now Mickie and Hamada now rise and look over at each other, both pointing that they are going for Trish who is stood swallowing hard now on the outside. But both get into a heated argument about it and then explode into shots back and forth they go until Mickie kicks Hamada in the gut and hits the ropes coming back but gets captures the La Ayakita submission, the head scissors vice, the arm trapped as Hamada coils around the body, Mickie falling now to her knees as she starts to wilt in the hold, finally falling to the mat as Hamada now turns it into a modified cross arm breaker with a head scissors on the mat. Mickie is now in real trouble, fading in the hold now as the crowd now starts to clap trying to will her on, but many yelling for Hamada to put her away, this is her home country after all. Finally though Mickie is able to shuffle her feet, outstretch her foot and get the bottom rope! The referee ordering the break and getting it. Hamada though goes right back to work picking Mickie up and now going for the hold again but Mickie turning it this time into the Celtic Cross and cover for 1…2…NO! Hamada powers the shoulder off the mat! Mickie is now growing frustrated as she picks Hamada up and now gets her up for the Mickie DDT, but Hamada reverses that into a overhead gut wrench suplex with a bridge for 2. Both women stand and go for each other again, Mickie taking Hamada over with a headlock takedown and locking it in on the mat until Hamada powers onto her feet and shoots her off the ropes, running in but Mickie leapfrogs over her then hits the ropes and comes back with a flying back elbow. She follows that up with two hip tosses and then a scoop slam and then heads to the apron and onto the top rope…but Hamada is back, runs in and heaves her off of it and down onto the canvas below! Hamada gets two off of that and now picks Mickie up, setting her up now for the AP cross but Mickie able to reverse it, drop down behind and as Hamada turns nail the chick kick for 1…2…NO!!! Hamada just kicks out; Mickie now shakes her head as she falls back, the Japanese crowd cheering on their own.
Mickie now pulls Hamada up and now goes for the Mickie DDT again but Hamada manages to reverse that into an overhead belly to belly sending her away. She then comes in and goes for the superplex but Mickie rolls out of that and fires away with right forearms shots, Hamada then kicking her in the gut and heaving her up for the powerbomb but Mickie reverses that into a frakensteiner into a roll up, hooking the legs for 1…2…NO!!! Hamada kicks out again, and again the crowd roar as Mickie falls away in disbelief again. After a few moments she then comes in pulls Hamada up but Hamada it able to reverse that into a sleeper slam and then rises, heading now to the top rope and rising up there…but Mickie it back up! She runs in, up onto the second rope and drives Hamada down off the top rope with a Mickie DDT! Covering for 1…2…3!!! A loud mixed reaction to that, but mostly applause as Hamada is announced eliminated. But as JR points out “it took everyone Mickie had and more to do it and now we are down to…” But before JR can finish the sentence Trish has hit the ring with the women’s title belt as Mickie rises slowly from the battle and turns right into a blasting running shot with the championship belt! The fans booing as Trish throws the aside and yells at the referee as she drops down and covers.
“And damit it’s legal. No DQ here…damn it!” JR yells as the referee counts 1…2…NO!!! Mickie kicks out! Mickie kicks out a thunderous reaction and applause “She won’t give in! Mickie will not give in after all she had done to get this far! To get her chance for vengeance on Trish for summer!”
Trish is now furious, gritting her pearly whites as he pulls Mickie up and then sets up the title before running up the corner, off the ropes and down onto the title belt with the Stratisfaction bulldog for 1…2…3!!!
“Damit!” JR yells as the bell rings and Trish falls back to the back grinning and is handed her title belt as it’s announced: “Here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion! Trish Stratus!”
“Trish took advantage of every else’s work, especially Mickies in what it took to beat Hamada and came in the back door to retain! That jezebel!”
“It’s smart JR! Trish Stratus always finds away, every month she finds a way and she did once again here to tonight, a way to walk away with her title.”
Trish now stands with a huge grin on her face as she holds up her title belt to loud boos and then heads out of the ring, the smile permanently there as she clutches it and walks up the long ramp to the back, through hell or high water still the women’s champion!
