K.J. was pacing back and forth in his corner, swinging his arms back and forth, stretching out his shoulders.

Riker however wasn't so showful on his eagerness to start the match. He simply sat on the second turnbuckle, his arms stretched over the middle ropes. He stared menacingly at K.J..

As the two men waited, the modified Hell In The Cell lowered. The low pounding drums, rang out through the arena as lights flashed over it, showcasing the hellish structure as it slowly made it's decent down to the ring. As it lowered the fans began to get rowdy, the cheers beginning to pick up in volume. After a minute of waiting the structure from hell was surrounding the ring, and the only way out was thought the unforgiving razor-wire.

*Ding! Ding! Ding!*

As soon the bell rung, both men exploded from their corners, but Riker had the advantage of going low. He took K.J.'s feet out from under him dropping his back and head on the canvas. Riker stayed with him though, going for an early onslaught. He wildly swung at K.J. hitting him with a flurry of fists and elbows, even an occasional headbutt. After at least seven hits K.J. got desperate to get out, jammed a thumb in the open in his mask, and right in Riker's eye. blinding the savage Riker. Riker stumbled away, getting to his feet, and holding his eye, swinging on arm wildly to keep K.J. at bay.

Riker crawled back into the ring, as K.J. just started to get to his feet. Riker got to his feet, and began to measure up his opponent, stalking him from behind, gripping the bat tight in his hands. K.J. got to his feet and turned around only to see Riker cocking his arms back and going for a swing. K.J. immediately dropped to the canvas, dodging the slugger by mere inches. K.J. rolled out the ring, with a shocked look on his face, relieved that he just barely managed to dodge the possible match ending attack. Riker stayed in the ring, pacing back and forth like a leopard in a cage, waiting for K.J. to get back in the ring. K.J. however wasn't about to get back in the ring without evening the odds. He went to the closest trashcan and pulled out a kendo stick. The crowd erupted into a roar as they knew this match was just about to get started. K.J. quickly slid into the ring, quickly getting to his feet. Riker and K.J. charged at each other going to swing their respective weapons, only to catch each other in the ribs, causing both men to drop they're weapons. Riker and Newfoundland began to stumble around the ring, holding their ribs in pain. After regaining their composure they both once again charged at each other, this time both throwing hard rights. However K.J. got the upperhand, starting to push Riker back into a corner with each shot.

Before he knew it Riker's back was against a turnbuckle and his head was getting rocked by hard rights from The Detrimental Dragon. With each shot Riker's legs grew weak. After about the sixth shot, Riker's a** dropped to the mat, his head spinning from the shots. K.J. then let out a rageful yell as he attempted to get the crowd riled up. Soon Newfouundland turned around and charged to the opposite turnbuckle. Once on the opposite end of the ring K.J. turned back to Riker and let out one more yell before charging back at Johnathan. Once he was feet away from Riker K.J. jumped in the air going for a stalling dropkick. The dropkick connected rocking Riker even more then before. Johnathan's body temporarily went limp and the rest of his body fell to the mat. In his half conscious state, Riker managed to roll out of the ring, trying to catch a breather. Riker fell to the outisde floor, landing on a knee. he flipped his hair out of his face as he began to crawl on his knees around the ring. K.J. however wasn't about to let Riker's rest, he followed Riker to the outside, and grabbed him by the hair pulling him to his feet. K.J. then directed Riker to the cage, throwing him against the unforgiving steel. Riker's bounced off the cage, and fell to the padded floor below.

Riker then got back to his feet and found more time to position the table in the ring to his liking. He moved the table over to the corner, keeping it on it's legs and not propping it up like most would. Riker then turned back to K.J., looking to K.J. with a tilted head. Riker made his way over to K.J. and grabbed him by the hair pulling him up to his feet. Riker grabbed a chunk of K.J.'s hair and slowly cocked an arm back. After a moment of aiming up his target, Riker unleashed a series of timed shots into his skull. K.J. was stumbling back from each shot but with Riker keeping a grip on his hair, he was held in check, forced to take each shot directly. After the fifth shot, Riker released his hair and let K.J. fall to the canvas. Johnathan then dropped to the canvas, practically laid over him and began to scratch and claw at K.J. face. All K.J. could do was wildly swing for mercy. Riker stopped after a few seconds, and got to his knees, sitting on his feet. Riker stared down at K.J. like an merciless monster. K.J. who now wore a crimson mask was slowly rolling over to get to his feet. Riker then fell over and put his hands out, stopping himself just at K.J.'s level. Riker then began to talk in K.J.'s ear.

"You think you can just simply walk back into this company and think you have a chance at my title! Let me inform you then... I am Johnathan Riker! The longest reigning champion EEW history! I will make an example out of you!"

While Riker spoke, all K.J. could do was manage to get to the ropes. Riker then got back to his feet and flipped his hair out of his face, looking back to the table. By now K.J. was to his feet and now had a sadistic look on his face as if he was about to snap. Something Riker said must of struck a nerve. Riker turned back to K.J. only to see K.J. charging forward. Riker was nailed with a spear then was hit with a flurry of rights and lefts. The crowd exploded with excitement, as it seemed K.J. was about to make a huge comeback. After a successful retaliation K.J. got to his feet with his fists still clenched, and quickly circled the ring a couple times before sliding out the ring. K.J. grabbed a trashcan still full of weapons and tossed it into the ring. Apparently K.J. was ready to take this match up a notch. Once the trashcan full of weapons hit the mat the weapons in the can sprawled out on the canvas. But a few managed to stay in the can. K.J. slid back in and saw Riker using the ropes to help him stand. He grabbed a kendo stick and target Riker's lower back. He began to swing with each open shot. Riker scrambled around the ring reacting to each shot by putting hand to his back and arching it in pain. Riker was practically on the run not that K.J. was on the offensive. The whole time K.J. followed Riker around the ring, hitting him with the kendo stick and scream back at Riker.

"Make an example of me?! Think again!"

Johnathan began to stir. He used the apron to help him stand, but this time he was more difficult then before since he hurt his leg in that last move. Riker rolled into the ring was already thinking of some way to use the table he set up. He knew the perfect way. He got to his feet and used this time to regain his stamina. After a minute of resting K.J. began to move it took him a minute or two but he managed to get out of in between the ladder steps, using the apron as well to help him stand. K.J. then rolled back into the ring, tired and exhausted, much like his opponent. Eventually Both were back to competing condition. They both charged but this time K.J. hit a surprise Spinebuster, and the crowd loved it. Riker was laid out across teh canvas, and K.J. was now on his knees, tired and even surprised he hit a Spinebuster. K.J want to end this by crippling Riker's arm so he couldn't climb. K.J. got down and locked in the Rhambutan! from a motionless state Riker exploded wildly swinging his arms and kicking his feet, struggling to escape and riving from the pain. However K.J. and Riker both knew this wasn't a match won by submission, so K.J. to advantage of it. Riker knew he couldn't tap to escape and K.J. knew no one could stop him from snapping Johnathan's arm. The crowd was now going crazy thinking K.J. was going to break Riker's arm in six places.

Riker was now struggling to do anything so in desperation,Riker tried to roll over to K.J. direction and use levelage to get on top of K.J. With his arm still trapped Riker now stared down at K.J. Then suddenly Riker let out a Black Mist and covered K.J. crimson covered face. now it was mix of black and red all over Newfoundland's face and chest. With this unexpected turn of events K.J. was forced to release his hold and tend to his eyes. Riker was now pissed. He stumbled to his feet and couched in a corner, staring at K.J. like a stalking animal. After a few moments of waiting K.J. had stumbled to his feet and turned to face Riker, but Riker was one step ahead of him, he was already and charging and before K.J. knew it he was nailed with a Malicious Strike! K.J. was leveled. Riker laid on the mat for a few moments catching his breath. He then sat up and got to his feet. Riker then grabbed K.J. by the hair and pull him to his feet. Riker then maneuvered K.J. in between the table and the turnbuckle. Riker then sat on the turnbuckle about ready to hit The Kataklysm. Although K.J. wouldn't have any of it. In a last ditch effort, he planted his feet just as Riker flipped to go for the cutter. So instead of K.J. going through the table Riker was going through the table alone. K.J. just dropped to his knees and rolled out the ring, and left Riker laying in a pile of split wood. Riker didn't move for a few moments, and didn't start getting to his feet until K.J. was halfway up the cage ready to escape. Riker noticed K.J. and scrambled. Luckily for Riker's K.J. was tired and slow getting up the cage. Riker got onto the apron and jumped for K.J. latching onto his back. Though K.J.'s desperation helped him to keep his grip on the cage. However Riker wasn't about to let K.J. show him up. Riker locked in the Blackout and K.J. soon began to lose grip. Eventually he was hanging from the cage by one hand, until he succumbed to The Blackout! K.J. and Riker fell to ringside floor. There both man laid on the ground, trying to catch a break.

Just then As Riker raised the can over his head and began to tip it over to pour the flammable fluid over K.J.. K.J. brought a foot up and parked it right between Riker's legs. Riker dropped the can and it began to spill out onto the mat. K.J. began to scramble, tugging and pulling at the chain trying to loosen it's grip around the steel post, and turnbuckle. K.J.'s feet were soon soaked with gasoline. As K.J. struggled to get free from the chain, Riker began to crawl to the ropes, still holding his balls as he made his way over to the end of the ring. Riker used the ropes to help him stand. As Riker was getting to his feet, K.J. was getting free from the chain. Once the chain was off, K.J. got to his feet and charged at Riker as he turned to face K.J. Once Riker turned K.J. was feet away, going for a spear! However Riker side steps K.J.'s spear attempt and let him glide right thought the ropes and into the cage on the other side. Now Johnathan was ready to end this match. He went back over to the can of gasoline, and the crowd once again erupted. Now they didn't care who won, they just wanted to see someone burn. Riker leaned over the ropes and began to pour the gasoline over K.J. Newfoundland.

Suddenly from the back Mr. Barker could be seen in the entrance way, waving for people to come to the back. a group of man came flooding from the back, all carrying fire extinguishers. Then soon came a small group of EMT's. Barker obviously knew something bad was gonna happen, and was preparing for the worst.

After emptying the gas can on K.J. Riker reached into his pocket and pulled out a box of matches. The crowd was going crazy all in anticipation of someone burning. The man carrying the fire extinguishers stood near the cage next to K.J. waiting for him to go up in flames. As the man waited for the fire to erupted, Riker pulled a match from the matchbox and scrapped it against the side, igniting the match. Riker stared at the match like he was getting pleasure from the sight of the small fire. Then the crowd went silent and Riker tossed the match on K.J. mumbling under his breath. "Burn, burn, burn..." A split second after Riker tossed the match K.J. was up in flames and the crowd was screaming in horror as K.J. was beening burned alive. For a second even the man carrying the fire extinguishers didn't act shocked that Riker would go so fire to win a match. Then after snapping back to reality, they engulfed the burning K.J. with the white smoke of the fire extinguishers mercifully putting the fire out. Riker however stared at the whole event on his knees, lightly breathing, seeming to enjoy the situation. The camera focused on the disturbingly calm look visible under Riker's mask.

Once the smoke cleared it was visible the damage done to K.J.. His skinned was a bright red, and boils were now covering his body, and on a few area's it was visible that the fire had gotten to some of the nerve tissue. Then just as calmly as Riker entered the match, he left. He slid under the bottom rope and grabbed the ladder, setting it up next to the cage. Riker then began to climb the ladder and ascend to the top. From the top of the ladder Riker was able to step up onto the edge of the cage. keeping his calves away from the skin-splitting razor-wire. Riker then began to climbed down the other side. Once his feet hit the ground, the match was called and the clear winner was Johnathan Riker.

Without even an announcement or his music, Johnathan Riker made his way to the back after grabbing his title. Everyone was quiet for K.J. once the cage was raised, the EMT's began to tend to K.J. Carefully putting him on the stretcher. As they made their way to the back, fellow stagehands began to take bottles of water and pour them on the hot skin of K.J.

With everyone now in the back the only thing everyone at ringside could do was get ready for the next match.
