Hello fans and
welcome to Day 2 of the Clash of the Champions PPV live here in Denver,
Colorado. As a recap, at yesterday’s
show, we saw only three champions retain and all the other titles changed
hands. We also saw the return of the
Undertaker as he dumped Bray Wyatt and his warriors and took back the mantle of
the character he’s had for so long. The
memory of Paul Bearer broke him out of his reverie and he was able to regain a
title he was wrongly stripped of.
The show begins
with the superfans Derek, Kaitlyn Quinn and P’Nut HBIC all in their seats at
ringside. Hogan’s music hits and the GM
makes his way to the ring in quick, powerwalk fashion. He gets in the ring. Surprisingly, there is no meat shield. “The Hulkster is in the house, brother. The CSWA once again has it’s champion. With Undertaker winning the title, I’ve
decreed that I want the HWF Champ Batista and CSWA Champ Undertaker to meet
with the winner going against Bray Wyatt for the Undisputed Championship.” He paused to let the fans cheer. “Now, I know you all want action and not have
me out here flapping my gums so I present to you…Day 2 of the CLASH OF THE
CHAMPIONS, Brother!” Hogan leaves the
ring as pyro continues to go off.
Match #1 is
ready to start and Mark Henry makes his way to the ring and he is followed
immediately by the newest member of the A-Team and the current North American
Champion, Abyss. A shoving match begins
in the ring before the bell can ring and the ref does a poor job separating
them. Finally, he is able to get them
separated long enough for the bell to get rung. This one is a very short match totally dominated
by the World’s strongest man. About 4
minutes into the match, a masked man comes to the ring and hits Abyss with a
chair. Abyss falls down and Mark Henry
climbs to the top rope and hits a splash crushing Abyss. The ref counts 1…2….3 and Mark Henry has just
defeated Abyss in just 5 minutes to become the NEW North American
Champion. Henry looked around for that
masked man expecting to see the Caped Crusader but it is a new person we’ve
never seen before. Hmm.
Match #2 is
about to begin when Batista’s music hits.
The beast comes out and gets in the ring. He is ready for action. Next, the CSWA World Champion Undertaker
comes out and makes his way to the ring.
There is a brief staredown just before the bell is rung. Just then, Bray Wyatt comes out and he is not
looking happy. Undertaker sees him and
starts to go after him but Batista chop blocks him and then hits a powerslam on
the floor. Batista drags him back in the
ring and continues the beat down. Every
time Undertaker tried to get in some offense, Bray would be there to distract
him. This went on for 18 minutes until
Undertaker finally got his hands on Bray, dragging him in the ring and hitting
a chokeslam. Bray rolled out just as
Undertaker turned and got hit by a Batista Bomb. Batista made the cover and got the
1.2.3. He will go on to fight Bray Wyatt
later this evening.
We cut to the
back where the Elitist Reid Rothchild and Ravishing Raquel are being
interviewed. Reid begins “Rusev, you’ve
run away all this time showing me the coward you are but now, the running
stops. I’ve got you in the ring and once
we are done, I will still have my Elitist title and you, well, you’ll be sent
home with your tail between your legs.”
Raquel then took the mic from him.
“Cactus Jackie, you have something of mine and I want it back. I hope you got all that water out of your
ears so you can hear me coming and I promise you, I will be walking out with my
title.” Both Reid and Raquel then left.
Match #3 is up
next with the 6 Man tag team titles on the line. The Champions, Wyatt’s Warriors comprised of
Super Warrior, Centurion and Warrior of Truth are taking on the 719 Cartel’s
own Mexicali Flyers and Rey Rey. The
champs controlled the match until at the 9 minute mark, El Dragon threw Super
Warrior out of the ring. The masked man
we saw earlier comes back out. He blasts
Super Warrior with a chair and he ends up getting counted out. The Cartel gets the win but does not win the
titles.
A video package
is then shown of all that has gone down between Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley
to date. It ended with a banner that
read “It all ends in the Hell in a Cell…TONIGHT”
We cut over to
Hogan’s office and sitting there with him are owners Jeff Meyers and Donnie
B. Hulk begins “I think there are just
too many titles floating around. There
are 4 singles for each federation, 2 Women’s titles, the Undisputed title, the
Elitist title and two different tag team belts.
That is just too much.” Jeff
Meyers asked “So what do you propose?”
Hogan scratched his chin and then said “The European and Internet Media
titles are probably the “who gives a shit” titles we have so I’m thinking that
those two titles get combined and one title…maybe bring back the hardcore
title…would remain.” Donnie B then asked
“What are the parameters for this title?”
Hogan said “This belt would not be specific to one federation but would
float between both. The holder of the
title, in similar fashion to the hardcore title of old, would be defended
anywhere and potentially at any time but I don’t want it to be too much of a
gimmicky belt. I say put in a time frame
– 10 am to 10 pm every day. That would
be the only time the belt would be defended.
Also, I don’t want the title changing hands every few seconds so the
champion would not have to defend the title more than once in that time
period.” Donnie B and Jeff Meyers
nodded. Jeff spoke up next. “That sounds like a really good plan. However, this may be more hassle than it’s
worth. If at any time you feel that too
much time and energy are being invested, then we need to consider something
else.” Donnie B spoke up next “I
agree. Hulk, keep up the good
work.” DB and Jeff left Hogan’s
office.
For Match #4, we
head back to the ring for our Diva’s match between the champion Cactus Jackie and
her challenger, the 1st Diva Ravishing Raquel for the Diva’s
title. Jackie apparently did not forget
Raquel knocking her into a pool so she charged at her challenger and the bell
was quickly rung to start the match. The
match was pretty even for the first 11 minutes of the match and then Raquel,
the DIVA of Prestige Inc., brought forth all her experience and knowledge and
took over the fight. Jackie tried as
best she could but I think Raquel was just too determined. This was one of the longest matches of the
night going 28 minutes and the fans enjoyed each and every minute. Towards the end, Jackie had Raquel in the
middle of the ring locked in the Cactus Stretch but Raquel just wouldn't tap
out. Jackie got extremely frustrated and started kicking the ropes. Raquel got up and hit a power full nelson and
put Jackie on her back. She then
signaled going to the top rope which got the audience on their feet. A very weary Raquel manages to perfectly nail
a moonsault. She makes the cover
1…2….3! Raquel has just regained the
DIVA’S CHAMPIONSHIP in a very hard fought victory. Jackie left the ring and Raquel celebrated
with the fans. She even spent a moment
talking and taking selfies with Kaitlyn Quinn and P’Nut. They were both ecstatic. Raquel’s husband ‘The Elitist’ Reid
Rothchild came out and with a big kiss, they went to the back all the while
Raquel holding her new title high over her head.
We cut to
another backstage segment with Abyss being questioned by Austin Aries and
Antonio Cesaro about his loss. Abyss
said “I should have won had it not been for that masked person. I promise I will find out who he is and will
make him pay.” Cesaro interjected “WE
will make him pay. WE are the A-Team;
all for one and one for all.” Aries
nodded “Perfectly stated. Abyss, we will figure this out. On another subject, I wanted to say that I’ve
made an executive decision to bring in a 4th member to our
A-Team. I’d like to introduce him here
and now.” Cesaro and Abyss move out of
the way as…ADAM ROSE walks in. “Austin,
Abyss, Antonio, I am humbled by your including me into your group. I promise to live up to the standards of the
A-Team. I will not let you down.” All men shook hands congratulating Adam on
his inclusion into wrestling’s #1 stable.
We go back to
the ring for more action. Match #5 is
pitting the European Champion Jay Lethal against the Internet Media Champion
Malo Leche de Mantequilla. The winner of
this match will be crowned the new HARDCORE champion. This match is made a no countout/no DQ
match. Malo calls for the rest of the
719 Cartel to come out. Rey Rey, the
Mexicali Flyers and VamChango all come out and stand on stage. Malo feels a surge of intestinal fortitude
but that is quickly drained out of him by Lethal’s flurry of kicks. Lethal dominated the 16 minute battle and
then finished Malo off with the Lethal Combination. Jay Lethal is now the NEW HARDCORE
CHAMPION. Lethal is handed the two
titles and is told he will surrender them once the new Hardcore title is
finished. Malo hollers at the Cartel for
not backing him up and he quits the Cartel.
He shoves his way to the back.
Match #6 is up
with ‘The Elitist” Reid Rothchild defending his title against the Bulgarian
Alexander Rusev. Reid is accompanied to
the ring by the new DIVA’s Champion Ravishing Raquel. In a very surprising move, Rusev is
accompanied to the ring by Cactus Jackie.
Huh…wonder what’s going on here.
Rusev calls Reid a coward who will run away when it suits him. Rusev tells Reid if he wants to prove himself,
they need to make this match a Russian Chain match. Reid agreed.
As soon as both were chained together, they immediately went to battle.
Reid was immediately overpowered by the sheer strength of Rusev. Reid threw everything including a spinnarooni
at the Bulgarian but it barely fazed him.
Jackie, holding a chain of her own attacks Raquel and knocks her out
with the chain. She then leaves the
ring…her mission accomplished. Rusev
then went back and destroyed Reid. At
the 7 minute mark, he wrapped the chain around Reid’s neck and then threw him
over the top rope. Reid struggled but
could not get himself free. Rusev then
dragged Reid back in the ring and laid him out in the center. He then went to the top rope and nailed a
kneedrop to Reid’s windpipe. Rusev makes
the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Rusev
kicks Reid out of the ring and celebrates with his newly won ELITIST
TITLE. Medical staff came out and helped
both Reid and Raquel to the back on stretchers.
We cut to the
back for a quick promo by El Dragon Insano.
El Dragon says he is glad Malo Leche de Mantequilla is gone from the
Cartel. He was nothing more than a leech
on their team. El Dragon says that Rey
Rey gave him permission to make the following announcement. With Malo gone, they have a new body to fill
that role. In walks the masked man we
saw from earlier who attacked Abyss.
“His name is El Riche Pollo and he is the newest member of the 719
Cartel.” Hulk Hogan walks over and asks
who this guy is. “Trust me Mr. Hogan, it
is ok for him to be here.” Hogan doesn't believe him and says he is going to ‘check his records’.
We are down to
the first of our two main events. Match
#7 has Undisputed Heavyweight Champion Bray Wyatt taking on the HWF World Champ
Batista. This one is set up as a no DQ
Brawl Games rules match. For the first 7
minutes, Batista was in control. After
that, Bray just got pissed off. For the
following 9 minutes, he showed why he was the Undisputed Champion. Bray got some outside interference from
Centurion who came out to show support.
Bray then stood on Batista’s throat until he was practically out
cold. Bray makes the cover and gets the
3 count but Dave also has to beat a 10 count (last man standing). Dave is not able to get up in time and Bray
Wyatt retains his title in a killer 16 min fight.
The ring is
cleared as the staff get ready for our second main event: Match #8: Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar in a
Hell in a Cell. The same video from
yesterday is run showing the history between these two. Both men enter the cell and just as the bell
rings, it’s on. To steal a phrase from
Jim Ross, this was nothing short of a slobberknocker. This was a 100% brawl; no wrestling
here. Brock hits an F-5 early on but
Bobby kicks out. Bobby nails a
spinebuster but Brock easily kicks out.
This goes on for 21 minutes. The first
HOLY SHIT moment of the match is when Brock tried to throw Bobby off the cage
(and to the table below) but Bobby reverses it and nails a spinebuster on the
top of the cage. DAMN. Brock ends up battling back and knocks Bobby
off the cage (he was hanging) and he falls and lands on the table breaking it. Our second HOLY SHIT moment. Brock climbs down and drags Bobby back into
the ring. Brock goes for an F-5 but
Bobby reverses it and hits a Dominator.
He is too out of it though to go for a pin. Brock nails 3 consecutive power clotheslines.
He follows it up with a powerslam but he doesn't capitalize on it; instead he goes to the turnbuckle to showboat.
Bobby regains his composure and grabs Brock from the top turnbuckle and
hits a Dominator for our third HOLY SHIT moment of the match. A very weary Bobby Lashley crawls over and
drapes his arm on Brock. The ref counts
1….2…..3. Bobby Lashley defeats Brock
Lesnar in what is sure to be the match of the year. Oh My God.
Bobby can barely stand and Brock rolls out of the ring; shoving away
medical staff and walks to the back on his own.
Bobby Lashley remains in the ring celebrating as the cage is
raised.
That is
all. Thanks for watching and
attending. Our next PPV will be in
October and will be Revenge: Day of Reckoning.
Stay tuned as there will be fallout from this show and the fabulous ride
we are on will continue.
