Welcome to Gaia! ::

the show opens with the usual display of fireworks before the camera comes in on the announcers.

Mike: Welcome to Implosion. We bring you some new developments here tonight.
Janelle: Due to the retirement of Rhamm very suddenly, we have to find a replacement for the elimination chamber at Darkest Battleground. Tonight, we'll have a last chance over the top rope battle royale featuring just about everyone that's not in the chamber that isn't female.
Mike: Also, Zarel Damone defends the world championship against Robert Orman in the main event.

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

Break the walls down!

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

"....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

Sexy Boy hits as the lights flash and the fans cheer. Shawn Michaels walks out onto the stage and looks out at the cheering fans.

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

Shawn walks to the center of the ramp and kneels down. As he looks up and raises his arms, pyros shoot off across the stage. Shawn stands up and makes his way down to the ring. He jumps up on the apron and makes his way down to the ring. He jumps up on the apron and steps in the ring, spinning until he stands in the center and strikes his pose.

Let the bodies hit the floor,
Let the bodies hit the floor,
Let the bodies hit the.....
FLOOR!

*Bodies by Drowning Pool hits the arena as The Talented One Cartwright makes his way to the ring as the crowd cheers loudly.*

"...from the UK, weighing in at 200lbs, he is The Talented One, The ACW, PAW and OECW Cruiserweight Champion......CARTWRIGHT!"

*Pyro begins to explode behind Cartwright as he raises his arms, with his hands open, taunting the crowd on the ramp!*

One - Nothing wrong with me,
Two - Nothing wrong with me,
Three - Nothing wrong with me,
Four - Nothing wrong with me.

One - Something's got to give,
Two - Something's got to give,
Three - Something's got to give,
NOOOOOOOW!

*Cartwright slides under the bottom rope, climbs the turnbuckle next to him and raises his arms as the crowd continues to cheer.*

The bell rings when Cartwright steps down and the three men stand in their corners, looking at each other.

Mike: It looks like no one knows quite how to start this off
Janelle: It's not like any of these guys really like each other.

Jericho charges in and kicks Shawn in the gut, then hits him with a quick right. Cartwright charges in and takes Jericho down with a chopblock. Shawn clotheslines Cartwright to the mat, then kicks Jericho in the ribs. Cartwright gets up first and Shawn whips him to the ropes.

Cartwright gets up and Jericho hits him with a few chops, then whips him to the turnbuckle. Jericho charges in and Cartwright kicks him in the jaw. Jericho stumbles back and Cartwright returns the favor, hitting a few chops of his own. He then whips Jericho to the ropes and hits a quick armdrag. Jericho bounces back up and Cartwright hits another armdrag into an armbar.

As Cartwright has the armbar applied, HBK breaks it by kicking Cartwright in the back of the head. From there he sneakily put Jericho in another armbar, trying to take advantage! Jericho gets to his feet and escapes the holds by backing behind HBK and placing him in a hammerlock!

Cartwright gets back to his feet, bounces off the middle rope and hits a dropkick to the back of Y2Js head as he has the hammerlock applied! Y2J flops to the mat, releasing HBK!

Cartwright whips HBK into the turnbuckle and climbs it, hitting him with 10 punches to the face as the crowd counted with him! As Jericho approached him and HBK, Cartwright dives from the turnbuckle on to Jericho hitting a diving cross body block! He covers Y2J for a quick two count!

Cartwright gets up and turns back to HBK, who hits an inverted atomic drop. Cartwright stumbles back and Shawn follows with a clothesline to take him to the mat. Jericho gets up and Shawn hits him with an inverted atomic drop as well. He then hits the ropes and nails Jericho with a flying forearm. He nips up as the crowd cheers, then climbs the turnbuckle. Shawn quickly hits a diving elbow drop to the chest of Cartwright, then gets up. The crowd gets behind him as Shawn stands in a corner and begins to tune up the band.

Mike: Looks like Shawn wants to put this one away early.
Janelle: The question is, who is he going to put away here?

Jericho is the first to stand and Shawn attempts to nail him with Sweet Chin Music. Jericho ducks, then takes Shawn down with a one handed bulldog. Cartwright gets up and Jericho hits a few forearms to his face, then whips him to the ropes. Cartwright bounces back and Jericho takes him down with a dropkick to the jaw

Cartwright holds his jaw on the mat in pain as Jericho turns his attention to HBK again. He sees him lying on the mat so Y2J splashes HBK with a Lionsault and covers HBK for a quick 2 count!

Jericho is about to place HBK in the Walls of Jericho when Cartwright runs towards Y2J and smacks him with his Talented Trainwreck signature, a modified running enziguri! He covers Y2J but only gets a 2.

Cartwright hooks a figure four on Y2J and as Jericho's arm had been weakened earlier he struggles to escape. HBK saves the match by hitting a moonsault on to both opponents on the mat! The ref begins a 10 count as all three lie still!

one.....two.....three....four....five....

Shawn rolls to the ropes and pulls himself up

Cartwright manages to get up and Jericho soon follows. Shawn walks over and hits a quick right to jericho. Jericho stumbles back and in turn throws a right of his own at Cartwright. Cartwright steps back, then hits a chop to Jericho's chest. Shawn follows with a second chop to Jericho, then he and Cartwright whip Jericho to the ropes. Jericho bounces back into a double dropkick from HBK and Cartwright, knocking him to the mat. Jericho rolls out of the ring as Shawn and Cartwright get to their feet. Shawn immediately nails Cartwright with Sweet Chin Music right after they get up, then drops down for the pin.

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

Sexy Boy hits as Shawn sits up and gets to his feet.

Announcer: Here is your winner, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels!

Mike: What a match! And Shawn Michaels comes out on top.
Janelle: He's got some momentum heading into Darkest Battleground. Frankly there's no clear favorite at the moment.

The referee raises Shawn's arm in victory as Cartwright rolls out of the ring and heads backstage after Y2J.

the show returns from commercial with AJ's music still playing. It cuts out abruptly

You think you know me

Edge's music hits and strobe lights and fog fill the stage before Edge makes his way out, wearing his traditional coat and shades, as well as the SEWF International championship. His long blonde hair waves with the fog before he makes his way down the ramp and slides into the ring under the bottom ropes.

"Making his way to the ring from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Weighing in at 245 pounds, The Rated-R Superstar, EDGE!!!"

He taunts and yells at the crowd before he takes his sunglasses and coat off before preparing for the match

Flames erupt on the stage as red light covers the arena and Kane's theme blares over the PA. Kane steps out onto the stage and heads for the ring, a sadistic grin on his face

".... weighing in at 326 pounds, Kane!"

Kane steps up onto the apron and into the ring over the top rope. He stands in the center of the ring and raises his arms. He lowers them as flames erupt from the turnbuckles and the red light fades out. The music dies out

Caught Up hits as the fans boo loudly and Ken Armand struts out onto the stage, the SEWF Cruiserweight championship around his waist

"... from Kansas City, Missouri, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the SEWF Cruiserweight champion, Ken Armand!"

Ken walks down ramp and stops in the center, then kneels down. On the stage, jets of red, green, white, and blue pyros shoot off as he raises his arms and looks to the ceiling. He stands up and heads down to the ring, then slides in and climbs the turnbuckle. he sneers at the booing crowd before stepping down. His music dies out

Mike: The fans have really turned on Ken Armand since he turned against AJ Styles
Janelle: Yeah, and we've yet to hear the reasoning behind it

I hear voices in my head.
They council me. They understand.
They talk to me.....

*"Voices" then blares out from the PA system as the screen shows clips of the Legend Killer. Eventually, Orton makes his way from backstage and with his usual cocky look. He stops at the top and poses with his arms out as sparks fly down behind him*

"...from St. Louis, Missouri. Weighing in at 245 pounds, The Legend Killer, Randy Orton!"

*he finally starts making his way down to the ring, ignoring the fans and their jeers. He climbs up the stairs and enters the ring as the music dies down*

he lights go out. Forsaken hits as blue, gold, and red lights flash. Demon rises up from under the stage on a platform.

".... weighing in at 245 pounds, Demon!"

Demon looks down to the ring for a few seconds, then starts down the ramp. He stops at the end of the ramp and looks out at the fans, his face stoic even through the cheers that come his way. Finally he turns and walks around the right side of the ring. He steps up onto the apron and glances into the ring before turning back to the crowd. He leans back against the ropes and raises his fists as flames shoot up from the ring posts. Demon steps into the ring through the ropes and climbs the turnbuckle, then raises his fists again. White lights flash through the rafters before the lights come back up and Demon steps down from the turnbuckle.

the show cuts to commercial break again

Mike: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. We're down to the last two men in this battle royale that has been one show stopping affair.
Janelle: The Phenom and the Game are still down recuperating but I'm sure that's about to change.

The Game gets to his feet first and turns to the Undertaker, who sits up again. The Deadman gets to his feet and the two men lock eyes. The Undertaker pulls his shirt straps down before raising his fists. The two men move in and the Undertaker throws a right hand. The Game ducks, then hits a few quick rights of his own. He then attempts to whip the Undertaker to the ropes, but the Phenom reverses. The Game bounces back and the Undertaker catches him by the throat for a chokeslam. The Game kicks him in the gut to get free, then hits a few more right hands before successfully whipping the Deadman to the ropes. The Undertaker rebounds back with a flying clothesline, knocking the Game to the mat. The Phenom rolls to his feet and waits

Mike: The Undertaker is in control now and he's stalking the Game
Janelle: Whatever he's got in mind isn't going to feel good.

The Game gets up and the Undertaker lifts him up for the Tombstone Piledriver. The Game slides down and counters with a falling neckbreaker. Triple H gets up and lets the Undertaker stand on his own, then attempts to whip him to the ropes. The Phenom reverses and lowers his head for a back body drop. The Game counters with a facebuster, knocking the Phenom to the mat again. The Game pulls him up again, this time looking for the Pedigree. The Undertaker counters out with a back body drop, then stumbles forward to the ropes. He turns back as the Game slowly stands up, then grabs him by the throat and plants him with a chokeslam.

Mike: The Game got some frequent flyer miles off that chokeslam
Janelle: Yeah, but at some point one of these men has to eliminate the other

The Undertaker pulls Triple H up and tosses him out over the top. Triple H hangs onto the apron and stands on the apron. The Phenom turns around and the Game hits a quick right hand, making the Deadman step back. The Game steps into the ring again and kicks the Undertaker in the gut, then plants him with the Pedigree. The Game rolls away onto his back immediately afterward, needing to catch his breath.

Mike: That bought the Game some time but it may not have been the smartest move.
Janelle: True. The Undertaker is a big guy, and in an over the top rope battle royale, he's hard to eliminate if he's laying on the mat. He's just dead weight, no pun intended.

Eventually Triple H pulls himself up. The Undertaker rolls to the ropes to pull himself up. The Game charges in to clothesline him over the top but the Undertaker ducks and back body drops him out over the top instead.

The bell rings and the Slow Ministry theme hits as the Undertaker moves back to the center of the ring.

Announcer: Here is your winner, the Undertaker!

Mike: The Phenom has done it! He's made it into the elimination chamber
Janelle: I think everyone else's chances of winning just plummeted. And now Zarel has to prepare to face the Deadman next week.

The Phenom goes down to one knee in his classic pose as the lights dim down and blue light covers the arena. The show goes to commercial
