Welcome to Gaia! ::

Announcer: The following is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall!

*the sound of a tiger roaring blares through the arena, followed by a gorilla's roar. Then, "Welcome To The Jungle" begins to play through the arena as Silverback and Tygre make their way out from the TitanTron. They both stop towards the top, Silverback in front and down on one knee with the massive Tygre standing behind him. Silverback throws his arms out to the side while Tygre throws his straight up as many-shaded green pyro go off behind them*

Announcer: Introducing first at a combined weight of 750 pounds, Silverback and Tygre, THE PREDITORZ!!!

*they then walk down the ramp and into the ring, Silverback silding in below the bottom rope while Tygre steps in over the top rope. They go into the same pose in the center of the ring before warming up for their contest*

The following contest is a nontitle match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...


Entrance Video


Entrance
"I AM" starts to play as the lights down down and pyro shoots down from the entrance way and Aj walks threw it wearing his jacket, Aj lifts the hood up and looks to the right and then the left and then he takes off the hood and extends his arms out to his sides and starts to walk down the ramp high fiving fans along the way and he gets to the ring and goes up the steps and climbs between the top and middle rope and runs to one side of the ring and he extends his arms out again and then goes to the opposite side of the ring and does it one more time and then Aj takes off his jacket and waits for his partner

Caught Up by Usher hits next as the lights flash and the fans cheer. Ken struts out onto the stage and the fans get louder.

"And his tag team partner, from Kansas City, Missouri, weighing in at 225 pounds, Ken Armand!"

Ken begins to make his way down to the ring, slapping fans' hands along the way. He slides into the ring and looks over at the Preditorz, then climbs the turnbuckle and looks out at the cheering fans. He steps down and the music dies out.

AJ and Tygre step out onto the apron, letting Ken and Silverback to start the match. Ken circles around the much larger Silverback.

Mike: Looks like Ken has already realized the size disadvantage.
Janelle: Yeah, now he's got to rework his strategy. I think he got a bit comfortable with smaller opponents.

Silverback moves in and Ken ducks under him. Silverback turns and Ken hits a chop across the chest, that seems to tick Silverback off more than it hurts. He advances forward and Ken strikes him with a right to the jaw. This has a little more effect, forcing Silverback back a step. Ken tries to whip him to the ropes but Silverback reverses. Ken hits the ropes and bounces back with a kick to the gut, then another right to the jaw. Seeing as he'd had such success attacking that part, he hits a few more, staggering him back a few steps until he hits the ropes. Ken tries to clothesline him over the top but Silverback ducks and back body drops him over the top rope. Ken lands on the apron and lets Silverback turn around, then hits another right to the jaw, staggering him back. Ken springboards in again and takes him down with a missile dropkick.

While Silverback struggles to stand up, Ken goes over and tags in AJ. Styles enters the ring as well and Ken and AJ wait for Silver to get up. The Gorilla finally does and Ken & AJ whip him into the opposite ropes. When Silver bounces off of them, the cruiser duo try to bring him down with a double clothesline. Silver rips right through it and hits the ropes again. As he does, Tygre makes a blind tag. Ken is able to drop Silver with a drop-toe hold on the rebound before AJ is able to hit a front-flip leg drop on the back of Silver's head. Ken leaves the ring and Tygre begins to enter as AJ goes for a pin. The ref tells him, though, that Silverback is not the legal man and AJ looks surprised at him. When AJ gets up and looks at Tygre, the behemoth knocks him down with a hard boot to his face.

Mike: Ooo, that had to hurt.
Janelle: No it felt like a friggin picnic. Moron.

Tygre pulls AJ up as Silverback rolls out of the ring, then whips him to the ropes. AJ rebounds right into a powerslam from Tygre, sending pain shooting up AJ's spine. Tygre pulls him up again, then lifts him up and hits the Super Gutbuster, then goes for a pin.

one....two....th.....

Ken comes in and kicks Tygre in the back of the head to break up the pin. Just for good measure, Ken follows with a dropkick to the face of Tygre before leaving the ring. A fairly hurt AJ rolls over and tries to crawl over to his corner. Tygre grabs his leg and easily drags him back over to his corner, then tags in Silverback.

Silver makes the tag and, with AJ down and scraping for Ken, returns the earlier favor by hitting a massive legdrop on the back of the head of AJ. Tygre lets go of AJ and rolls out of the ring before standing up on the apron. Silver stands up and pulls AJ with him before whipping him into the neutral corner. Silver runs at him, hoping for a huge splash attempt, but AJ moves out of the way and Silverback hits nothing but the turnbuckles. AJ is then able to roll Silver up with a school boy.

1....

Silver easily kicks out despite hitting the turnbuckles hard. AJ again tries to make the tag to Ken, but Silver cuts him off by grabbing his leg. As he stands, he goes over and tags in Tygre. Tygre steps over the ring as both of them look at Ken. The two giants put AJ into a double-powerbomb position, but when they do Ken enters the ring. He immediately goes and hits a flying forearm to Tygre's skull, forcing him away from the Preditor Bomb attempt. However, AJ was still in position for the Silverback Slam and, as Ken tried his best to try and get Tygre out of the ring, Silverback hit the finisher on AJ. He went for a cover as Ken tried to stop the attempt, but Tygre grabbed Ken from behind around the waist.

Silverback gets up and Tygre releases Ken as "Welcome to the Jungle" plays again and the announcement is made proclaiming the Preditorz as the victors. The two behemoths exit the ring before the show cuts to commercial.

Micke James' theme hits as the ever energetic woman dashes out onto the stage to the cheers of the fans.

"...from Richmond Virginia, Mickie James!"

Mickie heads down to the ring, then slides in under the bottom rope. She stands and climbs the turnbuckle, pointing out into the cheering crowd. She hops down as her music dies out.

Beth Phoenix's music hits as the Glamazon steps out onto the stage and heads for the ring.

"Next, from Buffalo, New York, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!"

Beth steps up onto the apron and climbs onto the turnbuckle, then sits and strikes her usual pose. She then flips back into the ring and turns to face Mickie as her music dies out.

Mickie advances on Beth and initiates a lock up. Mickie tries to push Beth back, but Beth overpowers her, pushing her against the ropes. The ref forces a break and Beth whips Mickie across the ring. Mickie hits the ropes and bounces back, straight into a clothesline that knocks her to the mat. Mickie gets up and Beth whips her to the turnbuckle, then charges in. Mickie brings up her elbow, hitting her in the chin. Beth stumbles back as Mickie steps up onto the second rope, then wraps her legs around her head and takes Beth down with a hurricarana.

Mike: Mickie James is coming back here. It looks like she's managing to counter Beth's strength advantage using her speed
Janelle: Mickie has more in ring experience than Beth, and as such knows how to take the Glamazon down. She's done it before when it seemed impossible.

Mickie climbs the turnbuckle and let's Beth stand, then dives off with a crossbody attempt. Beth catches her in midair, then slams her to the mat.

Janelle: There's Beth's power. Mickie didn't have her worn down enough and paid the price for that high flying manuever.
Mike: Lita seemed to match power with Beth pretty well.
Janelle: No, Lita had just enough power and enough speed to keep Beth off balance.

Beth pulls Mickie up and whips her to the ropes. Mickie bounces back and kicks Beth in the gut, then goes for her signature DDT. Mickie jumps for the manuever but Beth shoves her face first to the canvas, then pulls her up and hits the Glam Slam, then pins her.

one...two...three!

Beth's theme hits again as she stands up and looks down at Mickie.

Announcer: Here is your winner, the Glamazon, Beth Phoenix!

Mike: I think Lita or Trish better watch out. Whichever one of them ends up as champion may have to face Beth next.
Janelle: That's a sure thing I think. It won't be fun for either of them to have to defend the women's championship against her

Beth steps out of the ring and heads backstage with a smile as Mickie just begins to stand and the show goes to commercial

Mike: Well, this could be a fun match you've put together here, Janelle.
Janelle: You really are about as sharp as a brick, aren't you? Of course it's gonna be fun! Triple H and my brother, Brandon, have been at each other's throats for the past couple weeks. More recently, Hangover was able to give our Cruiserweight Champion a taste of his own medicine as he rolled him up with the tights. It'll be interesting to see how these "unlikely bedfellows" all work together.

The lights went black, as a red Anarchy 'A' faded onto the small video screen. 'Poison Heart' by The Ramones began playing over the PA System. Soon after, 'Anarchist' Jaysin Hayns stepped through the curtain with his cigarette in his mouth and his kendo stick in his hands. He also had the SEWF Cruiserweight Title belt wrapped around his waist as he looked out at the crowd before taking a long drag on his cigarette and taking it out of his mouth with his empty hand. He then continued walking down the ramp. One fan tried touching Jaysin's hand, but he pulled it back quickly, and faked a swing at the fan with the kendo stick, but he pulled back and kept walking. He slid into the ring, and put his cigarette into his mouth. Jaysin took another long drag and stepped up to the second turnbuckle, before looking into the air and visibly blowing the smoke out as the crowd booed him. Jaysin then stepped down and handed his cigarette out to a ring crew guy who then stamped it out in an ash tray on the bell table. Finally, Jaysin dropped the kendo stick onto the mat in his corner and stepped backwards up to the second rope, waiting for his partner and opponents.

“The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first… Weighing in at one-hundred and ninety-six pounds… From an undisclosed location… He is the SEWF Cruiserweight Champion… ‘The Anarchist’, Jaysin Haynes!”

Makes Me Wonder hits as blue lights flash and Brandon dances out onto the stage. The crowd erupts again as Brandon heads down the ramp with a bandage on his head, high fiving fans along the way.

"And introducing his partner, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 225 pounds Brandon Damone!"

Brandon walks around the ring, continuing to high five fans along the way and stopping for a picture or two. He pauses briefly in front of the announcers table and does a quick little dance before hopping onto the apron and stepping into the ring. He moves to the center and strikes his pose as the blue pyros shoot off behind him. Finally he stands up and tosses his tshirt into the crowd, then turns to face the entryway and his opponents as the music dies out.

*a guitar blares through the arena before "I Don't Wanna Stop" by Ozzy plays through the arena. Then, Hangover walks out to a mixture of cheers and boos as he holds his bottle of vodka. He takes the top off and takes a swig. He then closes the bottle and runs down to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope*

Announcer: Introducing their opponents, first from St. Louis, Missouri. Weighing in at 219 pounds, HANGOVER!!!

*Hangover gets onto the middle turnbuckle and smirks as he looks out at the crowd. He takes another swig of vodka before backflipping off into the ring. He sets his bottle under a turnbuckle and waits in the corner, looking at his opponents and waiting for The Game*

Triple H's theme hits a sthe lights dim and multicolored lights flash. The fans erupt as the Game steps out onto the stage, water bottle in hand.

"And his partner from Greenwich, Connetticut, weighing in at 265 pounds, the Game, Triple H!"

Triple H looks down towards the ring for a few seconds before he starts down the ramp. He stops at the end and looks out over the arena before moving on around the ring. He takes a swig out of the water bottle and tosses it before hopping onto the apron. He looks around the arena again before striking his pose and shooting a spray of water over his head. Finally he steps into the ring and walks over to the turnbuckle. He steps onto the second rope and strikes his pose again as the lights flash and come back up to normal. He steps down as the music dies out, then turns to Hangover to talk strategy.

The two unusual teams take a moment to decide who'll start for each. The bell rings and it ends up being Triple H and Jaysin who begin the match. The two circle each other before Jaysin finally moves in for a lockup. The Game accepts and Jaysin quickly moves around, grabbing HHH from behind. HHH is able to do a standing switch. Jaysin runs towards the ropes and grabs them, forcing the ref to tell HHH to break the hold. HHH eventually does, but not before sending a hard forearm into the small of Jaysin's spine. Jaysin yells in pain before turning around. He quickly tries a kick to HHH's gut, but The Game catches his foot. Jaysin jumps on his foot for a couple seconds before The Game drops his leg and levels him with a clothesline. HHH tries a quick pin.

1....

Jaysin easily kicks out, even though the move hurt like hell! Triple H picked Jaysin up and whipped him into the ropes, bending over for a back body drop on the rebound. Brandon made a blind tag as Jaysin kicked Triple H's chest, bringing him vertical. Triple H, infuriated, goes for a clothesline but Jaysin drops him with a drop-toe hold, bringing his neck onto the bottom rope before Brandon jumps and hits a leg drop on the back of the Game's neck. Brandon lands outside, Jaysin exits the ring, and Triple H rolls inside holding his neck. Brandon jumps back on the apron before climbing the turnbuckle. As quickly as he can, he takes flight for an elbow drop. Unfortunately, HHH moves and Brandon hits nothing but the mat. Triple H manages to get up and make the tag to Hangover. Hangover climbs in and waits for Brandon to get up. When he does, Hangover immediatley runs in and knocks him down with a double-arm lariat. With Brandon down, Hangover immediately jumps and hits a standing moonsault splash before trying a pin.

Brandon kicks out shortly after the 2 count. Hangover gets up and quickly stomps and kicks onto Brandon's chest as he gets vertical and stumbles into the corner. Hangover follows and hits Brandon with a couple of punches to his temple before whipping him across the ring. Hangover planned on following with a crossbody attempt, but Brandon bolted from the corner and Hangover's stomach connected only with the top turnbuckle as he then landed on the apron in pain. Brandon quickly went over and tagged in Jaysin, who got into the ring and proceeded to hit a dropkick to Hangover's stomach between the top two ropes, forcing the drunk to the outside and against the barricade.

Jaysin waits for Hangover to get back to a vertical base. When he did, Jaysin vaulted himself over the oropes and hit Hangover with a crossbody! Both men lay on the outside before Jaysin is able to get up first. He picks Hangover up and throws him back into the ring before going for a cover.

Hangover kicks out again. Brandon then goes over to Hangover's legs and grabs them before kicking at both of his quads. Brandon is then able to put Hangover into the Sharpshooter with Hangover in the center of the ring as he yells in pain. Brandon keeps him here for a minute and it looks like Hangover might tap out, but Triple H enters the ring to get the ref's attention. It works as the ref comes over to cut HHH off as Hangover actually taps out. Triple H argues with the ref as Hangover continues to tap. Brandon notices that the ref isn't here and releases the Sharpshooter, turning back to see Triple H and the ref talking. Brandon immediately goes over and starts pummeling into Triple H, forcing him into the corner. Brandon doesn't let up as Hangover begins to get his senses back and slowly stands up.

Triple H is finally able to push Brandon off of him and straight towards Hangover, who rolls him up with a school boy!

Brandon kicks out as Triple H exits the ring. Hangover immediately rolls over towards his corner as Brandon stands up. Brandon tries to cut Hangover off, but the drunk is able to make the tag to the Game. HHH enters the ring and punches Brandon into the ropes. He tries to hit a clothesline on the Damone, but he ducks under it. Brandon hits the ropes again and this time is hit with the lifted knee of The Game's. Jaysin enters the ring and hits Triple H with a clubbing blow to his back, forcing the Game around. Jaysin tries to whip HHH into the ropes, but is whipped instead and hit with the Spinebuster on the rebound. With HHH distracted by Jaysin, Brandon is able to roll HHH up in his own school boy.

HHH kicks out, beginning to get annoyed. They both get up as Jaysin rolls out of the ring. Triple H grabs a hold of Brandon's arm and whips him into the corner. But Brandon thinks on his feet and hits HHH with the Whisper in the Wind. Brandon gets up quickly and waits for the Game to do so as well. When HHH turns around, Brandon goes up to him and hits a spear on the Game! He then goes for a pin.

1....
2...

Unfortunately for Brandon, he didn't realize that Hangover had gotten back to his feet. As the pin was being attempted, Hangover jumped in and hit Brandon with a dropkick to his skull. The ref escorted Hangover back to his corner as Brandon, now hearing bells, and Triple H, holding his stomach, both slowly get back to their feet. Luckily for Brandon, Jaysin had managed to get back to their corner and he makes the tag. Unfortunately for Jaysin, so did HHH to Hangover.

Hangover runs in and goes for a crossbody immediately, but Jaysin ducks it and Hangover flies over him before crashing to the mat. Hangover gets up as quickly as he can only to be hit by several punches from Jaysin which force him back into the corner. Jaysin proceeds to whip Hangover into the opposite corner and hit him with a splash. Hangover stumbles out and Jaysin jumps and hits him with an Enziguri, dropping Hangover to the mat. As quickly as he can, Jaysin climbs the ropes and tries for his Anarclism finisher. Hangover is able to move out of the way, though, and Jaysin crashes to the mat. Hangover stumbles over and makes the tag to Triple H again. The Game enters the ring as Jaysin stands and Triple H punches him down to the mat again. Jaysin gets up in the corner and Triple H is righ there to pick him apart. He hits Jaysin with several shoulder thrusts, knocking the wind out of him. Triple H then pulls Jaysin out of the corner and whips him across the ring. As Jaysin hits the ropes, Brandon makes a blind tag again before Jaysin is smashed with another spinebuster.

Triple stands up and roars, thinking he's ready for the Pedigree. As he turns back, Brandon had climbed up the turnbuckle and brings HHH down with a hurricanrana. Both men get up quickly and Brandon hits the ropes. HHH tries to bring him down with a clothesline, but Brandon ducks it and hits the ropes again. When Triple H turns around, he's hit by a flying forearm from Brandon. Brandon gets up as Triple H begins to get up. Brandon sees him and quickly locks in a Dragon Sleeper, trying to wear down the big man. HHH tries to get out of it, losing a little bit of strength with every movement. With HHH almost down and out, Brandon then releases the Sleeper and pulls HHH up before hitting him with the Impaler DDT. Brandon goes for the cover.

1....
2....

Hangover comes in and breaks up the count. Brandon gets up and into the face of Hangover. Hangover doesn't back down, but then Jaysin comes running in and plows into Hangover with a hard forearm. It knocks Hangover into the ropes and then Jaysin hits a clothesline which sends them both out of the ring. Brandon watches them as Triple H begins to stir. The ref has his attention to Jaysin and Hangover, trying to restore order. Brandon goes back to HHH only to be hit by a low blow from The Game. HHH then goes for a school boy as the ref comes back and counts, the Game holding Brandon's tights.

1....

The ref calls for the bell as HHH rolls out of the ring and his theme plays again. Brandon looks at HHH with a glare as he holds onto his groin. Hangover stumbles around the ring as Jaysin slides back into the ring. HHH and Hangover smile as Jaysin and Brandon fume.

Mike: Looks like Triple H stole another victory from Brandon.
Janelle: These four seem to have some unsolved issues still, though.

Down with the Sickness hits as the lights dim and the fans light their lighters.

Oh wah ah ah ah!

Flames shoot up on the stage and Jarel steps out to an eruption of cheers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the legendary Jarel Drako Damone!"

Jarel heads down the ramp, then steps up onto the apron. He steps into the ring over the top rope and heads to the other side. He takes a mic as the music dies out and the lights come back up.

"First off, I got a little something to address here. I saw the interview with Draze earlier. I listened, and I heard the respect I've earned. It seems casket matches always leave the loser with an epiphany, a new understanding. Now, Draze has taken a bit of wisdom from the Dragon, and he can move on. As can I."

He pauses and the crowd cheers as he stares out at them.

"Now, unlike these other legends and icons, I'm not out here to demand a title shot that I haven't earned. True, I only have two losses on my record here. Still, my goal is not currently the world championship. When I want it, I won't ask for it. I'll merely take it. But on to other matters."

Jarel paces for a second.

"It occurs to me that there are several up and coming stars looking to make a name for themselves in the back. I've seen a lot of guys come, and I've seen just as many go. I have seen the best this business, I've fought the best, and I've beaten the best. Yet every time I turn around, there's somebody new stepping up, determined to test themselves against the Dragon. Someone new has to try to look into the eyes of the beast and face their fear. And every time they are determined to try themselves in my match, my specialty, my world, hell in a cell."

The fans cheer at the mention of the match that Jarel had been made famous in.

Mike: Where's the Dragon going with this?
Janelle: Wait and see, Mike. I think you're going to like this.

"So here's what I'm going to do. For all those that don't have a match at Disturbia planned, I'm going to give you an opportunity to make yourselves famous at my expense just so that no one asks me about it again. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll have an open invitational tournament. The final two will face of at Disturbia. The winner of that will face me at the following PPV in my match. So for all of you that over the past several months have said your dream match is to face me in hell in a cell, this is your one and only shot to live your dream. And in a play on the words of the legendary undertaker, sometimes it's hell trying to get to heaven. Or in this case, maybe it's heaven trying to get to hell."

Down with the Sickness hits as Jarel drops the mic and heads out of the ring.

Mike: That was one hell of an announcement. A tournament to see who will face Jarel in hell in a cell next.
Janelle: In his mind, it's a tournament to determine his next victim. Who better to be in SEWF's inaugural hell in a cell match than the man who is 39-0 in it?

the show cuts to commercial as Jarel heads backstage

The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the SEWF World championship. Introducing first...

Sexy Boy hits as the lights flash and the fans rise to their feet. Shawn Michaels comes out onto the stage, looking out into the sea of fans.

"Making his way to the ring, he is the challenger, from San Antonio, Texas, weighing in at 225 pounds, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!"

Shawn walks down to the middle of the ramp and kneels down, looking down at the ground. He looks up and raises his arms as pyros shoot off on the stage. He stands up and heads for the ring, slapping a few fans hands along the way. Shawn slides into the ring and spins until he's standing in the center. Finally he strikes his pose as the fans cheer louder. He stands and removes his entrance gear as the music slowly dies out.

Mike: Shawn is obviously focusing on winning the World championship. He has his sights firmly set on Zarel
Janelle: The last time they met for a world championship, Shawn Michaels emerged the victor. The question is, has Zarel discovered the right strategy to keep history from repeating itself

Stricken hits the PA as red lights flash and Zarel steps out onto the stage, the SEWF World Championship belt around his waist. The fans erupt as Zarel looks out at them from under his shades. Finally, Zarel turns and heads down to the ring.

"And introducing his opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 328 pounds, he is the SEWF World champion, Zarel Damone!"

Zarel walks down the ramp slowly and stops, looking into the ring. Finally he turns and walks up the stairs, then steps in the ring through the ropes. He takes the belt off and walks to the right side of the ring, then raises his fists with the belt in his right hand while flames erupt from the turnbuckles. He turns and walks to the opposite side of the ring again as the flames continue to shoot up from the ringposts. He raises his fists again while the fans continue to cheer. Finally he turns to the center of the ring and hands the belt to the referee, then removes his leather trenchcoat and shades and hands them to an official outside of the ring. the music dies out as he turns and looks over at Shawn.

Shawn moves forward, a slight twitch in his hands. He looks focused, not grinning or mocking Zarel at all. The two men move in and lock up in the center of the ring. Zarel overpowers Shawn by giving him one hard shove into the corner. Zarel charges in and Shawn ducks under him. Zarel turns and Shawn chops him across the chest. Shawn goes for a whip to the ropes, but Zarel reveres and goes for a clothesline. Shawn hits the ropes and rebounds, then ducks the clothesline and hits the ropes again. He bounces back and goes for Sweet Chin Music early. Zarel ducks under the kick and lets Shawn turn around, then grabs him by the throat, looking for a chokeslam. Shawn kicks him in the gut and hits a right to the jaw. Zarel comes back with a uppercut to the jaw that knocks Shawn off his feet. Shawn rolls over to the corner and sits up in the turnbuckle, holding his jaw. Zarel remains where he is as the fans cheer.

Mike: That was some exchange there, but it looks like Zarel got the better of that one.
Janelle: That he did. Shawn can't afford to brawl with Zarel, but it's hard to fight the temptation to do what he always does

Shawn gets up and the two men circle each other. Zarel throws a right and Shawn ducks, then hits the ropes. He robounds back and Zarel catches him with a reverse elbow to the chin that takes him down again. Shawn gets up and Zarel whips him to the ropes, then hits a back body drop. Shawn hits the mat hard and Zarel follows with a hard stomp to the forehead. Shawn rolls away and gets to his feet. Zarel whips him to the turnbuckle and follows him in with a clothesline against the turnbuckle. He steps back as Shawn stumbles out, then kicks him in the gut and hits a vertical suplex. Zarel quickly goes for a pin.

one...two...

Shawn kicks out. Zarel pulls him up and lifts him onto his shoulder, looking for a running powerslam. As he starts running, Shawn slides down behind him and shoves him chest first into the turnbuckle, then catches him in a school boy pin as he stumbles back.

one....two...

Zarel kicks out. Shawn gets to his feet and runs to the ropes as Zarel gets up, then hits a running knee lift to the face to knock him down. Shawn climbs the turnbuckle and goes for his signature heartbreak elbow drop, but Zarel rolls out of the way, letting him crash to the mat. Zarel gets to his feet and raises his hand as the crowd cheers.

Mike: Zarel avoided one of Shawn Michaels' signature maneuvers and now looks to put him away with a chokeslam.
Janelle: Shawn went to the top too early and it cost him.

Shawn stands up and Zarel grabs him by the throat. Shawn squirms, trying to get free, then finally pokes him in the eyes to get free. Zarel stumbles back and Shawn attempts to whip him to the ropes. Zarel reverses and Shawn hits the ropes, then rebounds with his signature flying forearm to take him down. After a few seconds, Shawn nips up, also to the cheers of the crowd.

Mike: I don't think this crowd knows who they want to win.
Janelle: That's how you know you've got a good match going.

Zarel gets to his feet and Shawn hits an inverted atomic drop, followed by a chop across the chest and a straight right to the forehead, neither of which takes Zarel down again. Shawn attempts to whip him to the ropes again but Zarel reverses, then pulls Shawn in and grabs him by the throat. This time there's no escape as Zarel sends Shawn crashing to the mat with a chokeslam, then goes for a pin.

one....two....thre.....

Shawn somehow rolls his shoulder up. Zarel gets up and climbs to the top rope.

Mike: Looks like Zarel is taking a page out of Shawn's book.
Janelle: Big guys can fly too, and you're about to see that here.

Shawn gets up and Zarel takes him down with a diving clothesline from the top rope. Zarel rolls to his feet and signals for the end. He lets Shawn stand and then lifts him for the Cradle Piledriver. Shawn slides down behind him and catches him in a victory roll pin.


one....two...th.....


Zarel kicks out. The two get to their feet and Zarel clocks Shawn with a hard right hand. Zarel then whips him to the ropes and hits a spinebuster, followed by a pin.

one....two...th.....

Shawn kicks out again. Zarel gives a slight curse before pulling Shawn up into a bearhug.

Janelle: Smart move. Everyone knows about Shawn's back problems. Zarel is working over his back, looking to wear him down.
Mike: It's a time tested strategy that most of the men that have beaten HBK in recent years used to gain their victory.

After enduring the hold, Shawn finally hits Zarel on both sides of the head, forcing Zarel to drop him. Shawn hits a few rights to the head, then goes to whip him to the turnbuckle. Zarel reverses it into a hard whip into the turnbuckle that causes Shawn to flip over it, then flips back and land on his feet. He turns and just barely sidesteps a spear attempt, sending Zarel shoulder first into the ringpost. Zarel straightens up, holding his shoulder, and turns back towards Shawn. Shawn grabs the arm and drops to the mat, focusing the pain on Zarel's injured arm and shoulder. He then drags Zarel back to the center of the ring and locks in a short arm scissors.

Mike: Shawn seems to be focusing on Zarel's arm and shoulder after Zarel focused on Shawn's back.
Janelle: Shawn already felt some of that power. He isn't looking to feel it again.

Zarel isn't that weak yet, and as lets Shawn keep the hold in while standing and lifting Shawn up over his head using the arm in the short arm scissors. Shawn's eyes widen as he realizes where he is. He releases the hold and jumps down, then kicks Zarel in the gut and hits a DDT. Shawn nips up again and climbs the turnbuckle, this time connecting with his signature elbow drop across Zarel's chest. He then stands in the corner and riles up the crowd before beginning to tune up the band.

Mike: Here it comes. Shawn Michaels is about to put Zarel away and claim the SEWF World Championship.
Janelle: If he hits this, I think you're right.

As Zarel gets to a kneeling position, Rhamm runs down to the ring and jumps on the apron, catching Shawn's attention. Shawn switches direction and delivers Sweet Chin Music to Rhamm instead, knocking the big man off the apron.

Mike: Oh my God! Rhamm just got kicked right off the apron in the worst way
Janelle: Yeah but I think Rhamm's main goal was accomplished.

Zarel gets up behind Shawn Michaels. Shawn turns and goes for Sweet Chin Music but Zarel ducks and lifts Shawn up, then hits the Cradle Piledriver and goes for a pin.

One....two....three!

Stricken hits as Zarel gets to his feet and the referee hands him the championship belt.

Announcer: Here is your winner and still the SEWF World Champion, Zarel Damone!

Rhamm gets up out on the floor, holding his chin. Zarel raises the title belt to the cheering fans and then spots Rhamm. Rhamm points at the belt and motions around his waist.

Mike: Obviously Rhamm wants a rematch with Zarel.
Janelle: Yeah, and I'm inclined to give it to him next week. Be careful what you wish for, Rhamm.

Shawn rolls out of the ring and starts up the ramp, then stops and looks back down at Zarel. He stands halfway between Zarel in the ring and Rhamm on the stage as the show goes off the air
