LIVE from the FedEx Forum in Memphis Tennessee
WARFARE
The show kicks off with a recap of what went down at the end of last weeks we show. The video package shows a few clips from the Shawn Michaels vs JBL main event match before things went South. A clip of Big E. Langston grabbing the leg of HBK is shown, leading up to the appearance of the Animal Batista. We fast forward to the brawl in the crowd which leads the two of them away from ringside and leaves JBL capitalize and pick up the win against a distracted Michaels with a clothesline from hell. The recap ends with a clip of what went down in the parking lot with JBL's cabinet and Big E.Langston attacking Batista.
Following the shows opening video package the cameras immediately cut to the back where an Irrate Batista is in the office of General Manager Teddy Long. Batista paces back and forth while stressing to Teddy about how much he wants him to give him Langston AND Beer Money tonight..
Batista ~ I don't care Teddy.. I don't CARE If I have to face the them all by my damn self! I want Beer Money and that son of a bitch Langston.. TONIGHT...
Teddy Long ~ I know ya do.. now just calm down playa... ya see I can't give you Langston AND Beer Money tonight because I've already got plans lined up..
Batista ~ Oh, cmon Teddy!
Teddy Long ~ BUT.. Listen, I'll tell ya what I can do... how about for the first time ever tonight.. THE ANIMAL BATISTA takes on.. BIG E. LANGSTON IN ONE ON ONE MATCH ACTION!
Batista smiles while placing a hand on the shoulder of Theodore Long.
Batista ~ NOW your talkin Teddy..
Teddy Long ~ I figured you'd like that..
The segment ends with Batista exiting the office as we head out to ringside were Jonathan Coachman & Tazz are sitting by.
Johnathan Coachman ~ Hello, ladies and Gentleman! welcome to UCW Warfare! Jonathan Coachman here along with Tazz..
Tazz ~ Man.. Did you hear that Coach? We're gonna get to see these two POWERHOUSES collide later on tonight!
Batista vs Big E. Langston later on tonight
Jonathan Coachman ~ Theres been a lot of bad blood between these two an tonight it could all come to a head..
Tazz ~ Exactly! and thats what I'm hoping for.. I can't wait to see these two monsters try to tear eachother apart!
The cameras focus shifts to the stage as we get ready for the first match of the night! in a rematch from last week we have Chris Jericho taking Mr.Kennedy..the big screen shows a replay of what went down between the two last week following the match in which Chris Jericho won. Jerichos celebration is interrupted by a Mic check from Kennedy who leaves him laying in the ring before leaving the ring.
Chris Jericho vs Mr.Kennedy
We jump back to the live action where Jericho awaits the arrival of his opponent in the corner. Kennedys music hits and he strolls out onto the stage, hits a pose and the motions for a microphone from the ceiling. The microphone drops but as hes preparing to introduce himself Jericho slides from the ring and rushes up the stage! and here we GO! It looks like Y2J isn't going to give this one a chance to get started in the ring as he takes it to Kennedy, leveled with several right hands.
He grabs the swinging microphone and slams it into the skull of Kennedy and he goes down before rolling over onto all fours. Kennedy starts to crawl down towards the ring and Jericho connects with a kick to the ribs sending him tumbling even further down the stage. At this point you really have to wonder if Kennedy regrets his actions from last week.
Y2J leans forward, grabbing a hand full of hair to draw Kennedy to his knees but he catches a forearm low blow between the legs. Kennedy quickly gets to his feet and levels Jericho with a stiff right hand to the side of the face which sends him stumbling closer to the steel steps. Kennedy drives a knee forward into the midsection of Jericho and then goes to bounce him face first off of the steel steps but Jericho blocks it and instead sends Kennedy crashing face first into the top step before rolling him into the ring. As soon as Jericho hops into the ring the ref calls for the bell! and FINALLY the match is officially under way. As soon as the bell rings Jericho comes to his feet and so does Kennedy who immediately cowers to the nearest corner but Jericho stays on him, landing several lefts and rights as he curls up in the corner, the referee steps in to break it up but Kennedy manages to get out of the corner himself with a rake to the eyes of the self proclaimed "Best in the World."
Kennedy backs Jericho away from the corner and back out into the center of the ring with a few right hands before a kick to the gut, he bounces off of the ropes and connects with a swinging neck breaker to take Jericho down.
...Skipping ahead to the final moments of the match
This has been a very back and forth competition with several note worthy moments from Kennedys first attempt of a Greenbay plunge which was reverse and turned into a suplex from th top from Jericho. There was also a moment in the match where Jericho went for the lionsault but Kennedy rolled out of the way leaving nothing but canvas! Jericho hits hard and lands face first but what happens next is whats unbelievable as Kennedy rolls Jericho over and actually hits lionsault of his OWN before hooking the leg, but there was no way in hell that Jericho is going down by one of his own maneuvers and he kicks out at 2. In the end Kennedy manages to sneak away with the victory after he fakes an injury and uses the ref to hold Jericho off long enough for him to expose the top turnbuckle. He sends Jericho crashing face first into the turnbuckle and then lands a mic check. He hooks the leg and gets the 3.
WINNER - Mr.Kennedy
Post Match - After the match Kennedy rolls to the outside of the ring and holds up one finger on each hand signalling to Jericho that they're now tied one to one.
Following the match the cameras cut to the back where the World Tag Team Champions Road Dogg & Billy Gunn are holding a conversation with Shawn Michaels. Road Dogg tells Michaels that he should let them be in his corner tonight whenever he takes on JBL & the new Cabinet in the main event match.. He tells them that Beer Money has a future tag team title shot and that they could wouldn't min getting a shot at softening them up before they cash in. Michaels tells them that he appreciates the offer and that he'll keep him in mind for next time but he already has a team backing him in the main event tonight. The Hardy Boyz, Matt and Jeff step up to stand next to the Heart Break Kid, their arms folded as they eye the tag title straps. The champs enter an intense stare down with the two potential challengers to their titles before slowly backing away and turning to walk off.
The camera fades to commercial break as Michaels invites the Hardys into his locker room to discuss a game plan for the Main event match.
During the commercial break a promo airs for the "Prettyboy Pitbull" Kenny King who is set to make his UCW debut in the coming weeks!
Kenny King he's coming..
Following the commercial break the cameras return to the ring where the reigning Dragons Gate Champion is getting ready for some one on one action against the Human Highlight Reel, Shelton Benjamin!
X-PAC vs Shelton Benjamin
Shelton Benjamin has been one of the main topic of discussions here in the UCW since he made his debut at on our premiere show. Every performance that hes put on hes managed to captivate the crowd and leave them begging for more the only problem is.. hes still YET to pick up a victory. So tonight we're putting him up against the Dragons Gate Champion X-PAC whos also been on a roll for several weeks.. who knows maybe a non title match against the champ is all the motivation that Shelton needs to pull off a victory.
X-PAC shows us all once again why he is the reigning Dragons Gate champion as he pulls off an array of moves in the ring, but for every move that he offers Benjamin offers up one of his own, showing WHY hes a forced to be reckoned with here in the UCW. The match is very back and forth and these really pushed eachother to the limit and maybe a little bit TOO MUCH as X-PAC exits the ring to grab his title strap and return, after a heated back and forth with the official PAC finally makes the right choice and gives up the title to avoid disqualification but as he turns around he walks right into a T-BONE Suplex from Benjamin who slides into the cover and hooks the leg for the 3!
WINNER - Shelton Benjamin
Post Match - After the match Shelton Benjamin grabs the Dragons Gate Championship and looks at it closely while nodding, he then climbs the corner turnbuckle and poses with the title before hopping back down. He lays the title strap across the chest of the champ and then exits the ring.
Following the match the camera cuts to the back where several members of the roster are standing around the unconscious body of Jimmy Wang Yang while talking amongst eachother. Everyone looks on in horror as a puddle of blood forms underneath Wang Yangs mouth.. Pushing through the crowd Rey Mysterio comes to kneel down at his friends side as the EMTs begin to look him over.
Tazz ~ Man.. I'm not sure what just went on back there with Jimmy Wang Yang, Coach.. but It didn't look too good.
Jonathan Coachman ~ Exactly Tazz.. but I can tell you right now that General Manager Teddy Long is working hard to find out WHO was responsible for what happened to Jimmy Wang Yang and we'll keep you updated as soon as more information comes through.
..And up next we have!
Santino Marella vs Super Crazy
Ever since the stunt that he pulled at Locked and Loaded Santino Marella has been kind of MIA and hes taken the Monster Abyss' Bare Knuckle Championship with him.. Lets see how well he does tonight in a match that was booked by General Manager Theodore Long in an attempt to bait him out of hiding.. Something also tells me that Father Mitchell along with the menacing Monster Abyss had something to do with the booking of this match..
We have Father Mitchell joining Tazz and Jonathan Coachman at ringside as this match kicks off. When asked where Abyss is Father Mitchell lets out a sinister cackle before saying that he has no idea where the Monster Abyss is. Back in the ring the action between Santino Marella and Super Crazy is just heating up with the Milan Miracle in control as whips Crazy into the ropes then drops to the canvas with a split before rising. He follows up with a punching combination, the last shot putting Super Crazy down on the canvas. The crowd is behind Santino as he signals for the Cobra and begins to set up but as Super Crazy is rising to his feet the music of the Monster Abyss sounds out over the sound system.
The eyes of the Milan Miracle grow to the size of golf balls as he freezes in the center of the ring. Super Crazy comes to his feet and also freezes in the center of the ring as Abyss marches down the ramp and pulls himself up onto the ring apron, as soon as he enters the ring Super Crazy charges forward and eats a big boot to the face! the Monster then brings him to his feet and damn near breaks him in half with a chokeslam! and Super Crazy is out of it as he does himself a favor and rolls to the outside of the ring to avoid any further punishment from Abyss. From behind Santino charges the reigning Bare knuckles champion slamming his fist into his back several times but of course its no use. Abyss slowly turns to face Santino who throws a few right hands before finally noticing that Abyss is unaffected. He puts on a cheesy smile and then attempts to brush off Abyss' leather cut off but eats a vicious upper cut which produces a sickening thud! Santino scrambles to his feet and stumbles into the nearest corner which proves to be yet another big mistake as the Monster Abyss CRUSHES him in the corner with a body splash. At ringside father Mitchell has hopped up from his seat and retrieved the Bare Knuckles championship from the times keeper and is now headed into the ring as Abyss lifts the limp body of Santino from the canvas, whips him into the ropes and floors him with a blackhole slam! Mitchell enters the ring and hands the title over to Abyss who stands over the fallen Santino before holding it high for all to see.
WINNER - NO CONTEST
The camera cuts to commercial break
We get a promo hyping the UCWs upcoming PPV event.. High Voltage!
Batista vs Big E. Langston
These two have been at each others throats for well over a month and a half but have yet to collide in the center of the ring, but tonight all of that changes as they go one on one for the first time in what will be dubbed as the "Main Event before the Main Event."
The match starts off slow with both of these giants slugging it out in the center of the ring, but the back and forth action soon comes to an end as Big E. Langston whips himself off of the ropes and pummels the Animal Batista with a clothesline. We see Langston gain the early advantage as he whips Batista into a corner and punishes him with several shoulder thrust until finally the former World Champ starts to fight back, he hammers Langston with several forearms over the back until finally hes able to stop the attack and fight his way out of the corner. Batista follows through with an Irish whip of his own and proves that Langston isn't the only one who's able to land a sick clothesline as he knocks the young power house off of his feet and the crowd goes insane! The match picks up quite a bit as we have a spill over to the outside of the ring and this is where the tide changes, leading us into the final moments of the match. Outside of the ring Langston uses the ringside enviroment to his advantage as he drops Batista ribs first over the protective barrier not once, but twice. He brings the Animal to his feet and then drags him to to the turnbuckle post before sandwiching him between the post and his massive frame with a body splash. Batista is down and hes hurt but this doesn't stop the beastly Langston who forces the Animal back to his feet and rolls him into the ring as the referee reaches a count of 7.
In the final moments of the match we see Langston continuing to dominate the Animal in a way that not many have been able to do in the past as he locks in a BEAR HUG putting pressure onto the lower back and the possibly injured ribs of Batista in the center of the ring. The official begins to ask Batista if he wants to submit but of course their is no quit in the Animal as he shakes his head. He begins to hammer away at Langston with right hands to the skull but it only causes the young powerhouse to tighten up on the bear hug. Finally Batista begns to fade and the official lifts his arm once, then twice and on the third time he manages to keep it in the air! At this point Langston is livid! He drives his head forward and connects with a headbutt to Batista before finally letting him fall to the canvas. Heading to the outside of the ring the menacing Langston forces the times keeper from his chair and heads back to the ring with it. He braces himself over the fallen Batista and motions for him to stand and as soon as he starts to push himself up from the canvas he nails him over the back with the chair the sound of steel meeting flesh procduces a sickening thud and Batista goes back down as the ref calls for the bell.
WINNER via DQ - Batista
Post Match - Following the closing bell, Langston snaps! He raises the steel chair and brings it down over the back of Batista numerous before bringing his relentless attack to an end. He slams the dented chair down onto the canvas and then motions for a mic from the outside of the ring.
Big E. Langston ~ I could of ended you tonight Batista, but with High Voltage right around the corner I told myself that I should atleast spare you and give you the chance to perform one last time at a UCW PPV event.. that is IF your willing & able to stand on your own two feet by then.. At High Voltage the "Animal" gets put down once and for all.
Langston lowers the microphone and then gets a few more stomps in on Batista before looking out onto the crowd with his arm raised high for all to see.
Fade to commercial break
And following the break we jump right into our a Main Event match! where we have 6 man tag team action..
The Hardy Boys & Shawn Michaels vs Beer Money & JBL
VS
The team of the Hardy Boyz & HBK all have something in common and that is the fact that they cannot stand the men who they will be standing across from in the ring in tonights Main event match. Beer Money & JBL done a great job of getting underneath the skin of many of the superstars on the UCW roster and the Hardy Boyz were just added to that list just last week whenever they were screwed out of a clean victory & then attacked by Beer Money & Big E. Langston to close the show. Well tonight they team with the #1 contender to JBL's UCW World Heavy Championship, the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels who is also looking to gain a little bit of retribution against the world Heavyweight Champ who managed to steal a victory following a distraction which was provided by his newest henchman, Big E. Langston.
So what will be the outcome when these 6 men collide in the middle of the ring..?
We're about to find out!
We kick things off with Matt Hardy & James Storm. The competitors circle each other in the center of the ring before finally locking up with each other but not for long as Matt Hardy shifts himself around to the backside of storm and locks both arms around his waist, he sends him stumbling front first into the ropes and goes for an early roll up but the Cowboy grabs the top rope, sending Hardy tumbling backwards onto the canvas. He turns a back flip and immediately gets to his feet, bracing himself as Storm runs towards him, he drops to the canvas and floors him with a drop toe hold to the crowds delight. Jeff Hardy & Shawn Michael look on closely from the ring apron as Matt looks to keep Storm grounded with a front head lock. Storm squeezes out and grabs the arm of Matt, forcing it behind his back before he slams him down to the canvas with a body slam.
The cameras focus shifts out to JBL who has just left the ring apron in the middle of the match to join Tazz & The Coach at the commenatotrs booth.
Tazz ~ Hey, look! Its JBL..
Jonathan Coachman ~ Really, JBL? you do know your in the middle of a match right now..?
JBL ~ PUT A SOCK ON IT COACH! Of course I know im in a match.. I know what I'm doin.. Beer Money, these guys are professionals, they know what they're doing.. but quick question do you know what your doing?
Tazz ~ ~ And a quick tag to Bobby Rhoode from James Storm.
Jonathan Coachman ~ I'm doing my job and im calling this match, which your supposed to be a apart of...
JBL ~ You know what, Coach.. why can't you be more like Tazz over here and just call the damn match, its what your being paid to do.. Like I said we're professionals, Storm & Rhoode don't need me on the apron to hold their hands the entire match.. they're FUTURE UCW tag team champions.. Mark my words.
Back in the ring Bobby Rhoode picks up where Storm left off and pulls Matt Hardy up from the canvas, he positions him for a suplex but Matt manages to battle out as soon as his feet leave the ground. Showing that their is still a little bit of fight left in the tank he follows through with a twisting neck breaker & now both men are down. Jeff Hardy leans over the top rope signalling for the tag as his brother slowly crawls towards their corner. Rhoode slowly begins to come to his feet and as soon as he does, Matt dives into the corner & slaps the hand of his brother Jeff who recieves a massive pop from the Memphis Tenn. crowd!
Bobby Rhoode braces himself for Jeff Hardy who runs towards him at full speed, he goes for a clothesline but Charismatic one ducks under it and nails a back flip enziguri to the side of the head.
..Skipping ahead to the final moments of the match.
Up to this point in the match the Hardys and Beer Money have put on a clinic! Following a running forearm smash to the face both Jeff Hardy & Bobby Rhoode are down in the ring and crawling towards there corners. Out at the commentators booth JBL has stood from his seat and removed his headset.. Out on the apron Shawn Michaels is dying for the tag & Matt Hardy is doing his best to get the crowd behind his brother. JBL has finally made his way back to his corner and is now hoping to get the tag from Rhoode before Jeff Hardy makes it over to his corner and he does! A negative reaction sweeps over the crowd as JBL enters the ring with a million dollar smirk on his face. He grabs the leg of Jeff and starts to pull him back towards his corner but the Charismatic one manages to land a kick across the face of the WHC before diving into the corner to slap the hand of HBK! Shawn hits the ring at full speed and launches himself at JBL with a running forearm smash. The champ goes down and Michaels takes the time to play to the crowd before bringing him back to his feet. HBK is all over JBL until an outside interference from James Storm who places a hand on the shoulder of HBK and spins him around once he gets closer to the corner. With the distraction now provided the champ looks to get lucky just as he did last week with a clothesline from hell, but not this time! As he charges forward Michaels side steps and he crashes right into James Storm! a stunned JBl lets his mouth drop and slowly steps back towards the center of the ring as Michaels tunes up for the Sweet Chin Music and he CONNECTS! JBL walks right into a well deserved Super kick from his number contender as Bobby Rhoode stumbles into the ring and gets clotheslined over the top rope by Matt Hardy! Michaels hooks the leg and the official makes the count!
1-2-3!
WINNER(S) - "HBK" Shawn Michaels & Matt & Jeff The "Hardy Boyz"
Post Match - Following the match Beer Money roll JBL to the outside of the ring and retrieve the WHC before heading towards stage. In the meanwhile the Hardys celebrate on the corner turnbuckles and HBK leans over the top rope pointing towards the World Heavyweight Championship as JBL clutches it close to his chest.

Outside of the ring Langston uses the ringside enviroment to his advantage as he drops Batista ribs first over the protective barrier not once, but twice. He brings the Animal to his feet and then drags him to to the turnbuckle post before sandwiching him between the post and his massive frame with a body splash. Batista is down and hes hurt but this doesn't stop the beastly Langston who forces the Animal back to his feet and rolls him into the ring as the referee reaches a count of 7.
In the final moments of the match we see Langston continuing to dominate the Animal in a way that not many have been able to do in the past as he locks in a BEAR HUG putting pressure onto the lower back and the possibly injured ribs of Batista in the center of the ring. The official begins to ask Batista if he wants to submit but of course their is no quit in the Animal as he shakes his head. He begins to hammer away at Langston with right hands to the skull but it only causes the young powerhouse to tighten up on the bear hug. Finally Batista begns to fade and the official lifts his arm once, then twice and on the third time he manages to keep it in the air! At this point Langston is livid! He drives his head forward and connects with a headbutt to Batista before finally letting him fall to the canvas. Heading to the outside of the ring the menacing Langston forces the times keeper from his chair and heads back to the ring with it. He braces himself over the fallen Batista and motions for him to stand and as soon as he starts to push himself up from the canvas he nails him over the back with the chair the sound of steel meeting flesh procduces a sickening thud and Batista goes back down as the ref calls for the bell.
WINNER via DQ - Batista
Post Match - Following the closing bell, Langston snaps! He raises the steel chair and brings it down over the back of Batista numerous before bringing his relentless attack to an end. He slams the dented chair down onto the canvas and then motions for a mic from the outside of the ring.
Big E. Langston ~ I could of ended you tonight Batista, but with High Voltage right around the corner I told myself that I should atleast spare you and give you the chance to perform one last time at a UCW PPV event.. that is IF your willing & able to stand on your own two feet by then.. At High Voltage the "Animal" gets put down once and for all.
Langston lowers the microphone and then gets a few more stomps in on Batista before looking out onto the crowd with his arm raised high for all to see.
Fade to commercial break
And following the break we jump right into our a Main Event match! where we have 6 man tag team action..
The Hardy Boys & Shawn Michaels vs Beer Money & JBL
VS
The team of the Hardy Boyz & HBK all have something in common and that is the fact that they cannot stand the men who they will be standing across from in the ring in tonights Main event match. Beer Money & JBL done a great job of getting underneath the skin of many of the superstars on the UCW roster and the Hardy Boyz were just added to that list just last week whenever they were screwed out of a clean victory & then attacked by Beer Money & Big E. Langston to close the show. Well tonight they team with the #1 contender to JBL's UCW World Heavy Championship, the "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels who is also looking to gain a little bit of retribution against the world Heavyweight Champ who managed to steal a victory following a distraction which was provided by his newest henchman, Big E. Langston.
So what will be the outcome when these 6 men collide in the middle of the ring..?
We're about to find out!
We kick things off with Matt Hardy & James Storm. The competitors circle each other in the center of the ring before finally locking up with each other but not for long as Matt Hardy shifts himself around to the backside of storm and locks both arms around his waist, he sends him stumbling front first into the ropes and goes for an early roll up but the Cowboy grabs the top rope, sending Hardy tumbling backwards onto the canvas. He turns a back flip and immediately gets to his feet, bracing himself as Storm runs towards him, he drops to the canvas and floors him with a drop toe hold to the crowds delight. Jeff Hardy & Shawn Michael look on closely from the ring apron as Matt looks to keep Storm grounded with a front head lock. Storm squeezes out and grabs the arm of Matt, forcing it behind his back before he slams him down to the canvas with a body slam.
The cameras focus shifts out to JBL who has just left the ring apron in the middle of the match to join Tazz & The Coach at the commenatotrs booth.
Tazz ~ Hey, look! Its JBL..
Jonathan Coachman ~ Really, JBL? you do know your in the middle of a match right now..?
JBL ~ PUT A SOCK ON IT COACH! Of course I know im in a match.. I know what I'm doin.. Beer Money, these guys are professionals, they know what they're doing.. but quick question do you know what your doing?
Tazz ~ ~ And a quick tag to Bobby Rhoode from James Storm.
Jonathan Coachman ~ I'm doing my job and im calling this match, which your supposed to be a apart of...
JBL ~ You know what, Coach.. why can't you be more like Tazz over here and just call the damn match, its what your being paid to do.. Like I said we're professionals, Storm & Rhoode don't need me on the apron to hold their hands the entire match.. they're FUTURE UCW tag team champions.. Mark my words.
Back in the ring Bobby Rhoode picks up where Storm left off and pulls Matt Hardy up from the canvas, he positions him for a suplex but Matt manages to battle out as soon as his feet leave the ground. Showing that their is still a little bit of fight left in the tank he follows through with a twisting neck breaker & now both men are down. Jeff Hardy leans over the top rope signalling for the tag as his brother slowly crawls towards their corner. Rhoode slowly begins to come to his feet and as soon as he does, Matt dives into the corner & slaps the hand of his brother Jeff who recieves a massive pop from the Memphis Tenn. crowd!
Bobby Rhoode braces himself for Jeff Hardy who runs towards him at full speed, he goes for a clothesline but Charismatic one ducks under it and nails a back flip enziguri to the side of the head.
..Skipping ahead to the final moments of the match.
Up to this point in the match the Hardys and Beer Money have put on a clinic! Following a running forearm smash to the face both Jeff Hardy & Bobby Rhoode are down in the ring and crawling towards there corners. Out at the commentators booth JBL has stood from his seat and removed his headset.. Out on the apron Shawn Michaels is dying for the tag & Matt Hardy is doing his best to get the crowd behind his brother. JBL has finally made his way back to his corner and is now hoping to get the tag from Rhoode before Jeff Hardy makes it over to his corner and he does! A negative reaction sweeps over the crowd as JBL enters the ring with a million dollar smirk on his face. He grabs the leg of Jeff and starts to pull him back towards his corner but the Charismatic one manages to land a kick across the face of the WHC before diving into the corner to slap the hand of HBK! Shawn hits the ring at full speed and launches himself at JBL with a running forearm smash. The champ goes down and Michaels takes the time to play to the crowd before bringing him back to his feet. HBK is all over JBL until an outside interference from James Storm who places a hand on the shoulder of HBK and spins him around once he gets closer to the corner. With the distraction now provided the champ looks to get lucky just as he did last week with a clothesline from hell, but not this time! As he charges forward Michaels side steps and he crashes right into James Storm! a stunned JBl lets his mouth drop and slowly steps back towards the center of the ring as Michaels tunes up for the Sweet Chin Music and he CONNECTS! JBL walks right into a well deserved Super kick from his number contender as Bobby Rhoode stumbles into the ring and gets clotheslined over the top rope by Matt Hardy! Michaels hooks the leg and the official makes the count!
1-2-3!
WINNER(S) - "HBK" Shawn Michaels & Matt & Jeff The "Hardy Boyz"
Post Match - Following the match Beer Money roll JBL to the outside of the ring and retrieve the WHC before heading towards stage. In the meanwhile the Hardys celebrate on the corner turnbuckles and HBK leans over the top rope pointing towards the World Heavyweight Championship as JBL clutches it close to his chest.
