The following is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...

Trumpets blare throughout the arena as the Time is Now hits. John Cena runs out onto the stage, getting his usual mixed reaction from the crowd.

"...from West Newbury, Massachusetts, weighing in at 240 pounds, John Cena!"

Cena heads down the ramp, slapping a few fans hands. He dashes down from the middle of the ramp and slides into the ring. He stands up and raises his arms to the fans before taking off his shirt and tossing it out into the crowd. The music dies out as he turns towards the entrance.


Ain't no stoppin' me now!!

Shelton Benjamin's theme hits as he walks out onto the stage and heads for the ring, getting a few scattered cheers from the crowd.

"...from Orangeburg, South Carolina, weighing in at 248 pounds, Shelton Benjamin!"

Shelton hops up onto the apron and steps into the ring. He steps up on the turnbuckle and looks out at the crowd. The music dies out as he steps dow

The lights dim as the Slow Ministry theme hits and blue light covers the arena. Fog pours in along the ground as the Undertaker's classic titatron plays on the large screen. Lightning strikes the stage and flames erupt across it as the fans cheer.

"And introducing their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 619 pounds, the Brothers of Destruction, Kane and the Undertaker!"

The Brothers step out onto the stage and head for the ring, with Demon following behind them. The Phenom doesn't bother pausing at the end of the ramp, just immediately turns and walks up the stairs while Kane steps up onto the apron and stands. The Undertaker raises his arms and rolls his eyes into the back of his head as the lights come back up. He and Kane step into the ring together and stand, facing their opponents.

The fans cheer loudly as the Phenom steps in and buries a big right hand in Cena's gut. Kane steps out onto the apron as the Undertaker hits another right to Cena's head. The Undertaker grabs Cena's left arm, then rams his shoulder into it. He jerks Cena's arm roughly, making Cena fall to the mat. Undertaker pulls him up and drags him to the corner, then hits Old School. Cena hits the mat again and gets up, holding his shoulder. He turns around and the Undertaker grabs him by the throat for a chokeslam. Shelton comes into the ring and hits a shot to the Undertaker's back.

Shelton gets up and kicks the ropes, forcing Kane to crotch himself on the top. Shelton follows by stepping onto the top rope and bringing them both down with a superplex. The ring ropes shake from the impact and the two men lay in the center of the ring. THe Undertaker begins to pace on the apron and the crowd tries to motivate Kane.

Mike: Cena's distraction proved to be beneficial, as Shelton took Kane down with that superplex.
Janelle: Yeah, but that took a lot out of Shelton too. He needs to tag in Cena.

Shelton begins crawling towards his corner while Kane just lays in the middle of the ring. Just as Shelton reaches Cena, Kane sits up and the crowd goes wild.

Announcer: Here are your winners, Shelton Benjamin and John Cena!

Mike: I can't believe it. John Cena just managed to pin the Undertaker
Janelle: It wasn't altogether clean, as he did use the Undertaker's tights and the ropes, but he pinned him.

The Undertaker and Kane glare up the ramp as the show goes to commercial

the following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...

Redeemer hits and the crowd boos loudly as Robert Orman steps out onto the stage with his brother Kenneth behind him.

"....from Kansas City, Missouri, weighing in at 320 pounds, Robert Orman!"

Robert begins to walk down to the ring, his hair still covering most of his face as a few fans throw garbage at him. He steps up onto the apron and into the ring over the top rope. Kenneth remains on the outside and Robert looks down at him as the music dies out and he waits for his opponent

Bodies by Drowning Pool hits the arena as the crowd goes wild for 'The Talented One' Cartwright! They cheer him as he gives them high-fives on his way to the ring.

Cartwright enters the ring and the match begins!

Mike:"How is Cartwright going to take down somebody as heavy as Robert?"
Janelle:"I'm sure Cart can find a way, but if he takes too long Robert will crush him!"

Cartwright approaches Rob and attempts some chops to the chest! Robert takes a couple of chops and just glares at Cartwright from underneath his hair. Cartwright wisely decides to back off.

Mike: That didn't work out very well
Janelle: The big guys here in SEWF are pretty damn tough to withstand those. Although I have to say Robert seems a bit different

Robert advances on him and makes a grab for him. Cartwright ducks under him and runs to the ropes, then bounces back with a clothesline. It connects, but only makes Robert stumble. Cartwright's eyes widen in shock and he hits the ropes again, rebounding with another clothesline. he gets the same effect, and tries again. This time, Robert catches him and launches him up into the air, then lets him drop to the mat face first. Cartwright holds his face after falling on it. Robert grabs Cartwright and body slams him into the mat. He then lifts Cartwright again and gives him a massive Gorilla Press Slam!

Janelle: Robert working over Cartwright's spine there.

Cartwright is lifted again but this time Cartwright escapes from Rob's suplex attempt. He strikes Rob with a flurry of kicks to his legs, forcing Rob to drop to his knee. With this chance Cartwright bounces off the ropes and hits him with a Shining Wizard!

Mike:And here's Cartwright's big chance to keep Rob off his feet!

Cartwright attempts to lock in a figure four leglock but Robert easily kicks him off. Robert gets to his feet again and whips Cartwright to the ropes. Cartwright bounces back with a flying clothesline that knocks Robert back against the ropes. Cartwright gets up and nails a dropkick that sends Robert out over the top rope

Mike: Cartwright seems to be building some momentum here now
Janelle: Yeah, but he still can't take Robert off his feet. He has to do something about that vertical base or he'll never win this.

Cartwright launches himself over the top rope with a crossbody plancha but Robert catches him and plants him with another body slam on the outside. Cartwright holds his apine as Robert stomps on him a few times. He lifts Cart back to his feet and whips him very quickly into the steel steps. So strong was the whip that Cartwright flipped over the steps from the impact!

Mike: What force! Robert's sure put some strength behind that one!

Robert lifts Cartwright to his feet bythe throat, attempting to chokeslam Cartwright on to the steel steps. However Cart is able to squirm and turn it into a DDT on to the steps! Robert stays on his feet but is groggy!

As Rob wobbles on his feet, Cartwright jumps from the steps and this time is able to hit a tornado DDT on to the concrete floor, this one keeping Rob down from the impact!

Janelle: It took ALOT of effort but those blows to the head seem to have been enough to keep Rob down.

Cartwright struggles to roll Rob back into the ring but when he does he bounces over the ropes for a slingshot elbow drop and then getting a two count on his following pin attempt!

Cartwright gets up, knowing he has to try to keep his momentum going. He grabs Robert's legs and this time succeeds in locking in the figure four leglock. Robert sits up as the pain sets in and though his hair hides his face the pain is evident. The referee is down with Robert, asking him if he gives up. Robert shakes his head but unfortunately for Cartwright, the referee can't see Kenneth, who quickly hits Cartwright with a shot to the side of the head. Cartwright releases the hold out of reflex and Robert rolls away, getting to his feet. Robert stumbles slightly but quickly rights himself and goes after Cartwright, pulling him up and hitting a few clubbing shots to the spine. Finally, he pulls him to the center of the ring and lifts him up for the RO Bomb. Cartwright, now on his shoulders, slides down behind him and counters into a sunset flip pin. Cartwright actually rises up onto his feet to add more pressure to the pin.

one....two....three!

Robert kicks out just after the three and sits up, slapping the mat in frustration as Cartwright's music hits and the Talented One rolls out of the ring.

Announcer: Here is your winner, Cartwright!

Mike: What a counter by Cartwright.
Janelle: Gotta say, I'm a little surprised he got the win. I was sure that Robert had things wrapped up after Kenneth interfered.

Cartwright heads up the ramp as the crowd cheers and Robert gets up in the ring. The show goes to commercial

Zarel is shown backstage in the lockerroom, watching the show on a monitor. He looks up with a smirk.

Zarel: Wow, Jericho, I knew you were an arrogant, overconfident jackass but I didn't know you were delusional. My title reign is pathetic? Aren't you the guy that beat Batista in WWE for the world heavyweight championship, then lost it less than a month later to John Cena? You brag about beating austin and the Rock in the same night, but didn't you get some help from Booker T to beat Austin? You say you've held the WWE Intercontinental championship more times than anyone else. Wasn't one of those reigns shared with Chyna? You beat Shawn Michaels and Kane. Did you ever beat them cleanly, without using tights, or outside interference?

Zarel looks at the monitor for a few seconds.

Zarel: Look, I'm not demeaning your accomplishments. That's beneath me. You were the first ever WWE Undisputed champion. You've done a lot of big things. The question is, what have you done lately? You came in and started some crap with Draze over Ashley. Aren't you married? You only beat the Undertaker because John Cena helped you out. You haven't done anything to prove you're worthy of a world title shot. But regardless, tonight, you go one on one with a true champion, a dominant champion. Me. And at the end of the night, you'll be going home beaten and battered, possibly broken, and without a championship. Tonight, I'm going to prove a point. Anything you can do, I can do better. See you in the ring

the camera fades out

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

Break the walls down!

Chris Jericho's theme hits as the camera focuses on the titantron

"Introducing first, from Manhasset, New York, weighing at 232 lbs, Chris Jericho!"

Jericho walks out and heads for the ring, ignoring the boos he's getting from the crowd. He walks up the stairs and steps into the ring, seemingly pleased with the horrible reaction he's getting from the crowd


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 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 his opponent.

The bell rings and Zarel walks up to the center of the ring. Jericho stands near the ropes, not wanting to approach.

Mike: For all his talk earlier tonight, Jericho doesn't look very eager to lock horns with the champion.
Janelle: Zarel is on a roll. He hasn't lost any singles matches since he's been here. He's beaten some of the biggest, toughest guys around and proved he deserves to be champion. Unlike Jericho, he didn't try to talk himself up. And Jericho has obviously seen him dominate week after week.

Zarel signals with one hand for Jericho to take his best shot. The crowd cheers, wanting to see Jericho get what's coming to him.

Mike: Obviously Zarel is ready to fight, and the crowd wants to see it.
Janelle: I think Zarel wants to see if Jericho can back up his big words.

Jericho charges forward, going for a kick to the gut. Zarel grabs his foot, holding it and making Jericho hop around on one leg. Zarel quickly levels him with a clothesline. Zarel smirks and lets him get up on his own, then whips him to the turnbuckle. Zarel charges in and Jericho ducks under him. Zarel stops himself from hitting the turnbuckle and turns around. Jericho hits a chop across the chest which at this point doesn't seem to faze the champion. Zarel glares at him and Jericho backs up.

Mike: It's not often that we see anyone shake those chops off. Looks like all Jericho did was irritate the champion
Janelle: It's early on, and I suppose Zarel can ignore the pain of those chops when he hasn't taken any other punishment yet.

Zarel advances on Jericho and goes for a clothesline. Jericho ducks and hits the ropes, then runs back into Zarel's boot, knocking him to the mat. Zarel hits the ropes and bounces back with a legdrop, then goes for a pin.

one...two..

Jericho kicks out. Zarel pulls him up and drags him to the corner. He hits Jericho with a few big rights, leaving him leaning against the buckle for support. Zarel whips him to the ropes and Jericho rebounds back, attempting a dropkick. Zarel catches his legs and lets him drop, then locks him in the sharpshooter as the crowd begins to cheer.

Mike: Zarel has the sharpshooter locked in now
Janelle: Zarel won a world championship with this move. It's his favorite submission hold, the same way Jarel loves the Dragon Sleeper and Brandon the Triangle Choke. Jericho better get to the ropes or his shot at being champion is over.

Jericho pulls himself across the ring and grabs the ropes. Zarel releases his hold and Jericho rolls out of the ring. Zarel goes out after him and hits him with a throat thrust, then slams his face against the stairs. Zarel rolls Jericho back into the ring and slides in after him. Jericho gets up and Zarel hits him with a big right hand, then whips him to the ropes. Zarel lowers his head for a back body drop and Jericho takes him down with a swinging neckbreaker

Mike: Looks like Jericho finally got an opening.
Janelle: And I'm sure he'll try to keep it.

Jericho gets up and grabs Zarel's left leg, delivering a few hard kicks to it. Jericho drops an elbow across his leg as Zarel tries to get free. Jericho gets up and climbs the turnbuckle, letting Zarel stand. Jericho goes for a diving crossbody but Zarel catches him, stumbling back before lifting him onto his shoulder. Zarel moves forward and Jericho slides down behind him, then shoves him to the turnbuckle. Jericho hits the ropes as Zarel stumbles back, then takes him down with a modified bulldog. Jericho follows with a lionsault, then goes for a pin.

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

Zarel kicks out. Jericho gets up and grabs both Zarel's legs, attempting to turn him into the Walls of Jericho. Zarel hits him with a few rights to get free. Jericho falls back against the ropes and bounces back as Zarel gets up, then takes him down with the Cdodebreaker and goes for another pin.

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

Zarel kicks out again.

Mike: I thought Jericho had the championship won there.
Janelle: He's wearing the champion down and we know what's coming next.

Jericho gets up and this time locks in the walls of Jericho

Mike: Jericho has finally gotten Zarel in the Walls of Jericho. Zarel can't take this pain for too long. We may be about to see the title change hands.
Janelle: If Zarel doesn't get to the ropes, then I'm sure you're right.

Zarel isn't able to get to the ropes as Jericho sits back. Zarel instead reaches back and grabs Jericho's leg. He pulls his leg out from under him while using his leg strength to shove Jericho off. Jericho falls flat on his face as Zarel keeps a hold of his legs. Zarel gets up, keeping hold of Jericho's leg, then grabs the other leg and crosses them, easily sitting back with Jericho again locked in the sharpshooter. The crowd rises to their feet in cheers as Jericho writhes in pain.

Mike: What a reversal! Jericho is back in the sharpshooter
Janelle: And look how Zarel is basically sitting on his back. He's 6'10" and 328 pounds. Jericho is in some serious pain and I don't think he can move

Jericho is stuck in the middle of the ring. And even as he claws at the mat, he can't get free. Having no other choice, he taps out. Stricken hits and Zarel release the hold, then stumbles to his feet.

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

Zarel takes the title belt and stands in the center of the ring, raising it to the cheering fans as flames erupt from the turnbuckles and the show goes off the air
