Hello fans and welcome to our PPV the Great American Bash
here in Orlando, FL. The event starts
off with an appearance from the GM Master Bull.
“Welcome everyone to our midyear PPV – the Great American Bash. Each and every one of tonight’s competitors
have trained and prepared for this night.
Rumors have been circulating of some past faces making an appearance
tonight. Those of you who have been
followers of the HWF and CSWA will recognize this person(s). This person and I have had some lengthy
discussions over the last week and we have come to certain agreements. More on that later. There is one MAJOR announcement I wanted to
make. The Undisputed Champion the Rock
was not able to make it to tonight’s event so we came to an agreement that the
Undisputed Title will be defended at tomorrow’s house show here in
Orlando. We worked hard to secure the
venue so that fans that have come in for this event will not be disappointed in
seeing the Great One. I also mentioned
before that the specialty match being set up for the Lesnar/HHH match would not
be disclosed until this event. I am
going to take it one step further and not even announce it until their match is
ready to begn. I want both men to be on
the same level playing field and have an equal chance at walking out as the
champion.
There have been some rumblings going on in the back about
former champions not receiving their rematches in a timely manner. I have spoken to all current and prior
champions and I am bringing back a rule that owner DB had in place back in the
day. I am instituting that if a champion
loses their belt, they are automatically, right then and there, given their
rematch. If they win the belt back,
there will be one final match that takes place inside a steel cage. The winner of that fall will be the champion. Unfortunately, this is not retroactive. This will take effect starting tonight. Only those titles sanctioned by me, the HWF
and CSWA will fall under this rule.
‘Made up’ belts such as Reid’s Elitist title do not fall under this
guideline.
With that said, let’s get this underway.”
The Bash starts off with pyro and fireworks going off. Our first match of the night is Ryback taking
on Alberto Del Rio for ADR’s world title shot.
These two didn’t disappoint.
Ryback controlled the majority of the match but ADR just stayed with
him. Ryback managed to hit ADR with not
one, not two but 3 Meathook clotheslines but ADR would not stay down. The time limit was approaching and Ryback got
desperate. After hitting a crippling
powerslam, he hit an overhead belly to belly suplex on ADR. Ryback made the cover and with a bit of trunk
pulling, secured the 3 count just before the time limit bell rang. The ref raises Ryback’s hand at the end and
states that he is now in the world title hunt.
Ryback finishes by hollering for the World title.
In the back, the Elitist Reid Rothchild and Ravishing Raquel
are having a conversation with Magnus.
We only get to hear the last bit of their conversation: “Magnus, you
HAVE to pull this off tonight. There is
just too much riding on the outcome. If
your match goes the way we hope, you’ll have gold around your waist again. Prestige Inc is all about champions and this
could be make it or break it.” Magnus
replied “Reid, I will make sure that what needs to happen does.” Magnus walks off and Raquel comments “Don’t
make Reid angry. You won’t like him when
he’s angry.”
It was then announced that Big Show and Kane settled their
differences and will once again become a tag team. They have already said that there will be
titles in their futures.
The second match of the night is John Cena vs AJ Styles for
the United States Championship. This one started off with a bang with Cena going for the 5 knuckle
shuffle but AJ reverses it and hits a Styles Clash for a 2 count. AJ follows it up with a gut buster and a spin
kick. Cena hits a knuckle jam. Cena is then tossed out of the ring but he is
back in at 5. AJ locks in a reverse STF
and then Cena maneuvers it into a reverse chinlock. AJ locks in an armlock facebuster. Cena goes to stomp on AJ but AJ moves out of
the way. Cena hits a knuckle jam but then
out comes Austin Aries. Cena is
distracted and AJ capitalizes by hitting a Styles Clash. He makes the cover and gets the 1-2-3. AJ is the winner. All of a sudden, music hits and it’s none
other than the Viper Randy Orton. Orton
runs down to the ring and brawls with AJ before AJ hightails it to the
back. AJ holds his title up high while
Orton, still in the ring, motions that the belt will be his.
Our first World championship match is up next with CSWA
Champ Christian taking on Chris Jericho.
Christian was a man on a mission
here. Christian outmaneuvered Jericho at
almost every step of the way. At one
point, Jericho got Christian locked in the Walls of Jericho but Christian
reversed it and hit an inverted DDT.
Both men saw time on the outside of the ring but made it back in before
the final count. Christian would go for
pin attempts after hitting Tornado DDT’s and an Unprettier but Jericho kept
kicking out. Jericho got Christian in
the Walls of Jericho again but the champ would not tap. The HOLY SH*T moment of the night is when
Christian was going for a One Man Concerto and Jericho hit a Lionsault at the
same time. Both men crashed hard. The
champ was up first and hit the One Man Concerto on Jericho and made the cover
and got the 1-2-3. Christian retains his
title but he looks to be hurt. Both men
are helped from the ring.
Up next is the second world title match between Brock Lesnar
and HHH. Both men make it to the ring
and then out comes Master Bull. He pulls out a mic and starts talking. “I said that I was going to hold off on
making the announcement about this and now it is time. HHH, Brock, this match will take place in a
Lights Out match BUT this will be a best of 3 falls. Remember Hunter that if you lose, you will go
to Legends status and then will be able to take the time off to spend with your
family etc. Let the match begin.”
The bell rang and Brock started to beat the tar out of
HHH. Brock controlled the tempo of the
16 minute match. Brock nails HHH with a
Roundhouse with roll of quarters but HHH is up on his feet by the 7 count. After an eye rake, HHH removes the top
turnbuckle and nails Brock’s head into it.
Brock is busted open but is back on his feet at 3. After trading some
blows and HHH spitting water on Brock, they both hit each other with
haymakers. Both go down but Brock is up
at 7 and HHH at 8. HHH hits a pedigree
and Brock nails an F-5 but neither were able to secure a pin. HHH then hits Brock with the Steel steps but
Brock manages to get back up quickly. They trade more blows. 2 double haymakers take the opponents down
and they use this for rest and recuperation.
HHH then goes outside the ring and gets a sledgehammer. He nails Brock in the head with it, makes the
cover and gets the pin.
Master Bull is out again and says that the second fall will
be decided in a dog collar match. Brock
was back on fire. HHH tosses Brock out
but he is quickly back in and then he nails HHH with an F5 but HHH makes it to
the ropes. Brock hits a powerbomb and
HHH hits the Pedigree. Brock tries to
stun HHH with a chain snap but HHH hits Brock with a sledgehammer. HHH makes a lazy cover thinking he’s got it
but Brock POWERS out in huge fashion.
HHH is stunned. Brock is up and
hits an F5. He makes the cover and gets
the 1-2-3. The falls now are 1 and
1. This next match will determine who
walks out with the title.
Master Bull is out a 3rd time. “Great matches so
far you too but there is one more fall to go.
This one will take place with Boot Camp rules. The final match also gets the time limit
extended to 60 minutes just in case. This
time HHH was on a tear. Both men took
the fight to each other like they had nothing to lose. 16 more minutes of back and forth action and
finally the end came after Brock managed to hit an F5 through a table. Brock is declared the champion. Medics come out to attend to HHH but once
again, Master Bull makes an appearance. “HHH, this by far has been one of your
best outings. Unfortunately, you are on Legend status. I will tell you this though. I’m giving you till the next PPV to rest and
recuperate. At that time, I will have
you come back for one final match against Brock. If you win that one, you are back in active
competition. Now, go and relax. You deserve it.”
Up next is Daniel Bryan defending his North American
Championship against Wade Barrett. Bryan
owned Barrett for the entire match. The
match goes 14 minutes with the champ hitting everything from the LeBelle lock
to European uppercuts. It was 2 of these
uppercuts followed by a double underhook suplex that did in the
challenger. Bryan walks out with his
title intact.
Next on the card is New Money Corp, a division of Prestige
Inc taking on the Shield for the World tag team titles. Before the match can begin, out comes
Ravishing Raquel wearing a ref’s shirt.
She announces that she is the special guest referee for this match. Rollins and Magnus begin the match. Rollins begins with a huge gut punch. Magnus battles back with a toe kick to the
midsection. He follows it up with an arm
wringer but Rollins hits a superkick. He
follows it up with an STO onto the middle turnbuckle and Magnus hits some
British stomps. He tries for a forearm
uppercut but Rollins neutralizes it.
Seth hit a springboard clothesline and goes for a pin but only gets a 2
count. Rollins goes for and misses a
standing shooting star press and Magnus hits a slingshot elbow drop. Rollins locks in a side headlock and Magnus hits
a forearm uppercut. Magnus hits more
British stomps and tags out to Monopoly Jr.
MJr hits a spear and then Reigns is in and double teaming begins. They hit a hiplock takedown and some clubbing
blows. Monopoly Jr somehow hits a
bodyslam on Reigns but the Shield continue with the double teaming with shoot
kicks and punches to the midsection. Reigns is distracted by Magnus so only
Rollins hits a gut punch. Monopoly Jr
kicks Rollins in the midsection but Rollins locks in a single leg crab. MJr does not submit. Rollins goes to the ropes and gets tripped up
by Magnus. MJr nails a flying axe handle
smash and makes the cover. A quick count
from Ravishing Raquel and we have NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS. The Elitist Reid Rothchild is standing at the
top of the ramp applauding his team. He
sees Monopoly Jr give Ravishing Raquel a hug.
He turns around and leaves. Master
Bull comes out and says that the Shield gets an automatic rematch.
Before the next match begins, Ravishing Raquel is kicked out
of the ring and sends her to the back. The
rematch begins and the Shield tears apart the new champs. The match goes 32 minutes and after the
massacre, the Shield regain their belts.
This of course prompts the rubber match inside of a steel cage. Again, the Shield showed their dominance in a
53 minute battle. Raquel had been
removed from ringside to avoid any improprieties. During the match, Magnus gets injured and
ends up getting handcuffed to the cage.
This left Monopoly Jr on his own.
He did manage a flying axe handle but it wasn’t enough to ward off the
brutality of the double teaming. MJr
even got some submission attempts but the Shield broke it up pretty
efficiently. After some brief offense
from MJr, both he and Magnus get injured again.
They eventually battle back and mount a brief offense but Magnus gets
injured again. This time he is looks to
be unconscious. Monopoly Jr hits a catapult
into the cage and hit a running powerslam into the cage and that was the end of
his offense. Rollins hit some nasty hard
rights and then nearly took his head off with a superkick. He made the cover and got the 1-2-3. The Shield retain the tag team titles. After the match, Monopoly Jr was extremely
frustrated after a bit of yelling at the unconscious Magnus, he stormed
out.
Up next is Kevin Steen taking on Dude Love. The stipulation on this one is that if Dude
Love loses, he will have to fight the Mighty Casey tomorrow night in a “barby”
the barbwire bat against his career. If
Dude wins and Casey wins, their match will be for the title vs career. The match went 15 minutes and was totally
owned by Dude Love. He beat the living
snot out of Kevin Steen and kept screaming for Mighty Casey. At the end, Dude used the top rope to
clothesline Kevin and Steen was rolling around on the mat holding his throat. Dude hit a DDT and with a bit of trunk
pulling, got the 1-2-3. Dude kept
screaming for Casey. Finally, he left
the ring.
Up next is Kurt Angle taking on the Intercontinental
Champion Jay Lethal. Lethal began with
the Lethal Injection and Kurt counters with a choke. He breaks the choke and then resumes choking
Lethal until the ref breaks it up. Jay
nails a flying elbow off the rops and Kurt chokes him again. Jay hits the Lethal Injection again. Kurt punches Lethal out of the ring and he
barely makes it back in before the 10.
More back and forth action has Kurt end up on the outside. He too barely makes it back in before
10. Angle locks in a bearhug and Lethal
somehow gets Kurt out of the ring. He is
back in and is met with a diving double axe handle smash from Jay and the ref
only gives a 2 count. Jay hits a
hip toss and Kurt hits an Olympic Leg sweep. Kurt then hurls Jay out of the ring but he
nullified it. Jay hits another diving
axe handle smash and our Olympic hero is down.
Jay hits the Lethal Injection for a 2 count. Kurt nails an Angle Slam but isn’t able to
hold the champ down. Jay is tossed out
of the ring but he is back in and hits a flying elbow smash for a 1 count. Kurt locks in the Angle lock but the champ
won’t submit. Jay nails a springboard dropkick out of
nowhere and makes the cover for a 1-2-3.
Lethal retains the belt. After
the match, Kurt shakes the champs hand and then leaves.
Up next is the match for the X-Division title with the Miz
taking on the Super Warrior. The
“superfan” Brandon was at ringside with his “Super Warrior is Super” sign. He was flanked by the fans known as AZ and
LN. They just watched the Superfan and
basically mimicked what he did.
The Miz starts right off with a legsweep facebuster and goes
for a pin but only gets a 2 count. Miz
then connects with a basement dropkick
and SW hits a superplex. Miz throws a
discuss punch and SW nails a Super Powerslam.
Super Warrior then falls down holding his knee. Miz is up and delivers kicks to the fallen
foe and tries for a pin but only gets 1.
SW begins to battle back after hitting a power punch. Miz nails a springboard legdrop and SW hits a
super powerbomb. He makes the cover but
Miz kicks out at 2. He follows it up
with a one arm chokeslam. Miz connects
with a headscissors takedown and SW hits a super flapjack. Miz hits the Skull
Crushing Finale. He takes his time
making the cover but SW powers out at 1.
Miz is stunned. While being
stunned, SW hits a one arm chokeslam twice.
In showing off his strength, he hurls Miz out of the ring. Miz motions
he’s done, grabs his title and walks away. He gets counted out. Super Warrior wins the match but not the
title. Super Warrior celebrates with the
ringside fans and goes on to meet his Superfan Brandon. He also shakes hands with the two women at
rigngside and then heads to the back.
At this point, Clarkus Kentus comes over to interview the
Superfan Brandon. Before it begins, he
lets LN and AZ know that they have been invited backstage after the event. They are thrilled.
Stay tuned. The interview is next.
