Match #1
The show kicked off with Christy Hemme v Beth Phoenix. Christy seemed fairly confident, as she already had a win over Beth under her belt. Beth was looking to avenge her recent loss, and she fought with a passion. The fans were into the opening contest and the two ladies kicked off the show with a bang. The match could have gone either way, but Beth was in control when Jillian Hall made her way onto the stage. Beth noticed Jillian, but ignored her. Jillian stood at the top of the ramp and discussed the in-ring happenings with Rico. Beth hit Christy with a DDT and covered her. The fans cheered as Christy kicked out after a long two and Jillian stared intently as Christy got back to her feet. She went for a dropkick but Beth swatted her aside and got her in a Boston Crab. Christy reached for the ropes but couldn't reach. Beth had her back to the ring and didn't see Jillian slowly advancing. Christy strained a little harder to reach the ropes, but Beth didn't let up on the hold and Christy still couldn't reach. The referee crouched down, asking Christy if she wanted to give it up. She shook her head but gritted her teeth in agony. Jillian slid into the ring and knocked down Beth from behind. The referee rang the bell and Jillian tackled Beth through the ropes to the outside. She irish whipped Beth into the steel steps and shrugged as if it had all been an accident. Christy got up, looking a little confused. Jillian ignored her and pointed to her waist. She and Rico then strolled up the ramp.
Winner: Beth by DQ.
Reason: No RPs, but Jerome is taking some time off. I just wanted to give him a place in the Women's title hunt ready for when he returns.

Match #2
MVP was standing in the ring waiting for the arrival of his opponent Kevin Nash and finally Nash makes his way out onto the stage. He was counting some money before handing it off to an assistant and MVP rolled his eyes, looking aggravated. Nash slowly walked down to the ring as he continued to get under the skin of MVP, who was pleading with the referee to start counting Nash out for his blatant stalling tactics. Nash finally made his way to the ring and climbed over the ropes, not even stretching to do so. MVP didn’t waste any time is starting the match as he laid an Elbow into the chest of Nash, causing the big man to stagger. Nash fell backwards into the corner and MVP quickly charged in, delivering a shoulder into the midsection of Kevin Nash. He then climbed up onto the second rope and started laying some right hands to the top of Nash’s skull. Nash wasn't going down that quickly, and he fought MVP off. Nash used his strength to his advantage, grabbing MVP who was in a vulnerable position above him. He walked to the center of the ring and took MVP down with a Reverse Atomic Drop followed by a Elbow to the Jaw. Nash then took a small breather and leaned on the ropes, flicking his hair back as MVP got up. Nash charged towards his opponent, looking to connect with a big boot. MVP ducked under the big boot and hits Nash in the knee with a closed fist. As Nash buckled down onto one knee MVP ran towards him and smashed Nash across the Jaw with a running Knee. MVP made a cover ONE…TWO...Nash kicked out. MVP waited for Nash to get up and kicked him in the stomach, forcing Nash to bend down in pain.MVP tried for The PlayMaker but Nash’s height proved to make the move difficult. Nash pushed Porter off and MVP bounced into the ropes. He reacted quickly as he ran back towards Nash, and adjusted himself to catch Nash with a RockerDropper. The big man staggered before falling down to the mat. MVP then hit his Ballin' Elbow Drop onto the back of Nash. He rolled him over but that took some effort. MVP got a Cover but again Nash managed to kick out...albeit at 2 and a half this time. MVP dragged Nash up and Irish Whipped him into a corner. He then charged in looking for a Kawada Kick but Nash moved out of the road in a surprise act of quick movement forcing MVP's foot to catch the turnbuckle and causing his leg to lock up. Nash saw that as an advantage and used an Elbow to the side of the head to wound MVP some more before hitting a kick to the midsection. The kick led to Nash hoisting up MVP for the Jacknife Powerbomb. He hit the move, planting MVP hard into the canvas! ONE…TWO….THREE!!! NASH gained a victory after sidestepping some great MVP offense. Nash’s experience and ability to adapt came through in the end and he grinned confidently as the ref raised his hand. Winner: Nash
Reason: Better Roleplay...great character. Thanks to Ian for this match.
SEGMENT
The scene opened with Triple H walking down the hallway, World title on his shoulder. He had a bottle of water in hand and as the camera panned out it was clear that Shawn Michaels was walking beside him. Triple H and Shawn turned a corner and Hunter put his hand out in front of Shawn's chest to stop him. HBK stopped, looking confused, but he soon saw the reason behind Hunter's action. Jeff Jarrett and Dusty Rhodes were standing aside, having a talk about the game plan for Jarrett's match with the Miz. Hunter frowned and walked over. Shawn followed, and Dusty and Jarrett stopped their conversation to stare at the tag team champions. Hunter spoke first. Triple H: Rumor has it you've got a problem with me. I listened to your little promo... and I just have one piece of advice. If you're gonna trash me, do it to my face you gutless son of a bitch!
Jarrett stepped off the wall, not backing down from the world champion.
Jeff Jarrett: Gutless? I'm the gutless one? You're the one walking around with the title on your shoulder that you're too scared to defend! Ain't that right, Dusty?
Dusty Rhodes: That's right, Daddy-O.
Triple H glared at Dusty.
Triple H: Nobody of importance asked for your opinion, bitch-tits!
Triple H looked back at Jarrett and Dusty stepped forward, pushing him in the chest.
Dusty Rhodes: Now, seems to me you better watch your mouth there partna!
Triple H: Watch my mouth? Yeah...you're right....Shawn, I really should be more polite. Let's go.
Hunter tapped Shawn on the shoulder and started to walk away. He only got about three strides in before he suddenly turned back around and launched himself at Dusty and Jarrett. Shawn joined in too...he wasn't about to let his partner to 2 on 1 with Jarrett and Rhodes. There was a scuffle and a few good punches thrown before backstage officials ran over to pull the four men apart. Jarrett yelled as some road agents pulled him back.
Jeff Jarrett: See what I mean, Helmsley! No good coward! You're a disgrace to that belt and to every champion before you.
Triple H just smirked and didn't resist the hands that were guiding him back.
Triple H: We'll see, Jeff... just wait.
DX walked away as the scene faded.
Reason: Ian, I read what Jarrett said in your RP and thought if would be fun to make something of it. Hope you don't mind!
Match #3
Jillian Hall stood in the ring with Rico at ringside. She seemed pleased with herself for her actions earlier in the night, and wore a confident smile as the Women's Champion Karen Angle made her entrance. Karen held up the Women's title before handing it to the referee. The referee handed it to the timekeeper and signalled for the bell to be rung. The bell rang and Jillian and Karen walked up to each other, exchanging some trash talk. Jillian started off the action by slapping Karen in the face.

Karen seemed somewhat surprised and impressed by Jillian's endurance and she fought her way to the ropes. The referee broke the hold and Jillian was a little worse for wear. She still fought back to her feet and was a little slower than she was before, but still very impressive. She managed to regain control when the tables turned. Karen went to the top rope as Jillian was groggy, and Jillian pushed the referee into the ropes, causing Karen to fall back into the ring. The referee admonished Jillian but she insisted it had been an accident. Jillian waited for Karen to get up, practically stalking her. As soon as Karen was on her feet, Jillian hit the Hall of Famer! She went for the cover...1...2...3!!! Jillian was ecstatic as she was announced as the new women's champion! The referee handed the belt and she instructed Rico to get her a microphone. Jillian Hall: I...did it! Just like you all knew I would! And to mark this momentous occasion...I'm going to grace you all with a song!
The fans booed as Jillian cleared her throat.
Jillian: I ammmm the champiiiionnnn....I am the champiiiiiiion! Nooooo time for loooooooseeeers, cause I ammmmm--

Winner: Jillian Hall
Reason: Best roleplay.

Alive and Amplified hit and The Miz made his entrance to a pretty good reaction. He played up to the crowd a little, but not too much. When Chosen One hit Miz stared up the ramp as Jarrett began to make his way to the ring. Jarrett had his guitar with him, and Dusty accompanied him. Dusty and Jarrett exchanged a few words before Dusty took a seat at the announce table and Jarrett climbed into the ring. The cage was lowered from the ceiling as The Miz and Jeff Jarrett stood in the ring, staring a hole through one another. Once the cage was properly secured, the bell rang. The two remained motionless for a moment before Jarrett charged at the Miz, still holding his guitar. He swung it. Miz ducked and Jarrett dropped the guitar and spun around quickly. Miz caught him with a kick to the midsection followed by a neckbreaker. Jarrett held the back of his head but didn't stay down for long. The two locked up, engaging in a test of strength. Jarrett tricked Miz as he kicked him in the knee as soon as they locked hands. He then threw Miz into the corner of the ring before running at him with a clothesline. Miz went down after the clothesline but Jarrett didn't cover him. He furiously picked Miz up and threw him into the cage. Miz held his head as he fell back through the ropes, and Jarrett still didn't cover. He slingshot Miz into the cage and only then did he attempt to go for the pin. 1...2...Miz kicked out. Jarrett didn't seem to mind. He wasn't done yet. Miz caught Jarrett with a stiff right hand to the jaw as Jarrett was picking him up. He then hit him with a jawbreaker and Jarrett fell back, holding the underside of his face. Miz went for a quick Reality Check but Jarrett managed to get out of the way and Miz missed the move. He ran towards Jeff again, attempting what looked like a Shining Wizard, but Jarrett charged too and the two collided in the center of the ring, with Jarrett knocking Miz down with a clothesline. Miz got back up fairly quickly, and slapped Jarrett in the face. Jarrett was even more furious than he had been previously and the two started to exchange right hands. Miz got the better of the exchange and he threw Jarrett into the ropes before hitting him with a spinebuster. He went for a cover..1....2....Jarrett kicked out. The two continued to brawl and within no time both men were bleeding. It was most definitely a grudge match, and the most violent of the night, by far. Neither man attempted to escape the cage. They wanted to win the match by pinfall or submission. Dusty cheered Jarrett on from the outside as he picked up the guitar and swung it at Miz. Miz ducked, and swept Jarrett's leg. He picked the guitar up himself, waited for Jarrett to get up then hit him with his own guitar. He went for the cover...1...2...3! The Miz was announced as the winner as the cage was lifted. He left the ring grinning as Dusty Rhodes climbed into the ring to make sure Jarrett was okay.Winner: Miz
Reason: I felt his roleplay was more entertaining and original...but both you guys did a great job.
Match #10
(Sic) by Slipknot hit and Samoe Joe and Nick Mondo made their way to the ring. Lilian introduced them as "Twisted" and the fans gave them a pretty good reaction. They waited in the ring and soon enough "Break It Down!" blasted over the speakers. DX stepped through the curtain, each holding a tag title. Each also had a belt around their waist. Triple H slid into the ring first, looking furious with nobody in particular. He didn't even bother with the "Are you ready?!" spiel...he just took off his belt and started to hand it to the referee before turning around and clocking Nick Mondo in the head with it. Shawn simultaneously charged at Joe and the two started to fight. The bell rang and the match was underway. The referee admonished Triple H, but Hunter didn't care...there was nothing the ref could do anyway. Hunter turned around to see Samoe Joe hit Shawn Michaels with a Samoan Drop. He then ripped Shawn's X division title from around his waist and threw it out of the ring. Hunter went for a forearm but Joe lifted him up onto his shoulders and hit a fireman's carry. Hunter held his ribs as Joe's weight fell on him and he gasped in pain. Joe then went to see if Nick Mondo was okay. Nick was a little groggy, but DX had made him mad so he got back up quickly. Triple H and Shawn Michaels fought back to their feet and Hunter kicked Joe in the ribs. The fans booed, thinking Hunter might be going for an early pedigree, but he just hit a hard DDT. He got back up in time to be met with a spinning heel kick from Nick Mondo. Mondo elbow dropped the Game and this time Shawn hit Mondo with a dropkick. The referee warned Shawn to get out of the ring. He hadn't had control of this match since it had begun. Shawn argued with the referee but went to his corner. Mondo rolled out of the ring and made his way to his corner, leaving Triple H and Joe. Joe got up first and pulled Hunter up too. He threw him into the ropes before hitting him with an even rougher Samoan Drop than the one he had hit on HBK a few moments ago. Cover. 1...2...Triple H kicked out. Triple H fought back and swept Joe's leg. Joe was on his back and Hunter kicked him in the groin area. Joe squirmed and the referee warned Triple H about the low blow. Triple H insisted he had kicked Joe on his inner leg, but the referee told him to "knock it off". Hunter got in the ref's face and Joe started to get back up. Before Joe could go anywhere HBK ran into the ring and hit him with the Sweet Chin Music. The referee turned around to admonish Shawn now. He was getting furious with DX for continuing to break the rules. While the ref's back was turned Nick Mondo ran into the ring and hit Hunde with a low blow before yelling a string of curse words in his face and hitting him with a DDT. The referee started to count to 5, and Shawn reminded him they they'd keep the belts if he DQed them. Joe got up and charged at HBK, knocking him over the top rope. He then went for a cover on DX again...1...2...kickout. Joe shook his head and he and Triple H got up again. Joe threw Hunter into the ropes and Hunter slid under them. He grabbed a chair and looked immensely frustrated as he ran back into the ring with it. HBK had pulled Mondo off the apron and the two were fighting on the outside. The referee was yelling at Triple H to put the chair down but Hunter didn't listen. He mouthed something to Joe who just glared at him. Before either Joe or Triple H could move "Almost Over" hit and Wes Ikeda stepped out onto the stage with a mic. Triple H frowned up at him and mouthed "what the hell do you want?"Wes Ikeda: Oh...hi Hunter. You're sure doing a lot to prove your masculinity tonight, that's obvious. But you'd better think a little harder before swinging that chair. Because as of right now...in this match...the tag titles can change hands in the event of a DQ or countout.
Samoa Joe broke into a grin and held out his arms as if daring Triple H to hit him. Triple H stared only at Wes, then without hesitation he swung the chair at Joe's head, knocking him down. The referee rang the bell and Lilian declared Twisted as the new tag team champions. Wes and Hunter made eye contact for a moment before Wes shook his head and went backstage. Triple H watched him go and got hit with a kendo stick from behind. Mondo was back in the ring. HBK was knocked out on the outside after being thrown into the steps. and Nick was the only one standing. He helped Joe up and the two raised the tag belts before leaving the ring.
Winners: Twisted
Reason: I didn't RP...because I suck!
