Pride has many faces.....(We see flashbacks)
Emil A. and Jillian Hall in a dark hotell bedroom. Emil A. is standing by the window.
Emil A: Have I done the right thing Jillian? I always thought I did what was best for the fans. You know. I never did this for money.....
Then.... we see Kane.... he is standing by his brothers grave, with his mask on....
Kane: All My life, I've been number two.... All my life, I was the younger brother....
We see flashbacks of Kane's great career in EAM.
Kane: My life is almost over brother. Soon we will meet again.....
The screen goes black....
Pride has many faces.....
Dean Ambrose: I am the greatest wrestler to ever kick your ass Kurt Angle! You should be proud!
Kurt Angle: Ambrose! You are just a brat! In Rome, I will show you why I am not only a Gold Medalist. But one of the greatest to ever step inside the EAM ring!
The Logo of the PPV appears and the voice of John Bradshaw Layfield announces that NOW, EAM Promotions proudly presents, from the heart of Europe. Pride & Prejudice, Live From Rome, Italy!!
As the PPV starts, we get a good view of how many people there actually is in the arena tonight. It's like whole Europe came to Rome for this event. The silence in the arena gets disturbed when the music of A-Show General Manager Christopher Daniels cranks the arena speakers. Daniels makes his way down to the ring, carrying a strap and some sort of collar. He gets handed a microphone and adress the crowd, hoping they will have one hell of a great night tonight. He gets a good pop before he gets down to business. He says that due to Adam Cole violating not only one but many rules, Kevin Steen will be given a title match tonight. Yes, that's right. Daniels have decided that's the only fair thing to do, and a better punishment for Cole. But, to make sure Cole donesn't run away from another title match, we are going to have the fans to vote for what kind of match they are going to have tonight! He gets even a bigger pop from the crowd now. The fans have three stipulations to choose from. In my hands, I have a strap, meaning you can vote for the match to be a strap match. In my other hand, I have a dog-collar, meaning you can vote for it to be a dog-collar match. Or.... He points up at the cage over the ring. You can vote for it to be a Cage match! The fans cheer as music suddenly cranks the arena speakers. It's MC5 - Kick Out The Jams, and out on the stage walks Emil A. and Mickie James. They are both dressed up in wrestling gear and they make their way down to the ring. Emil A. is a gentleman and holds down the ropes for Mickie before he himself enters the ring, and he is given a microphone by one in the staff. He tells Daniels he is sorry to interrupt, and he is sorry that he is ruining the start of the show. But this just have to be done right now. He yells for Shane and Jillian to get their filthy asses out to the ring right now!!!

Not wasting anytime here and can you imagine that we're gonna have complete control of EAM in only our first match.

Someone in staff gives a briefcase to Emil A, who hands it over to Mickie.
Emil A: In this briefcase, is The Pride Title. A title I hope will be very prestigious over time. I am pretty impressed by both wrestlers, and I wish them good luck. But first, a sneak peek at The Pride Title! Mickie, could you please be a pumpkin and open the briefcase?

Pride Title Matchup
Prince Devitt Vs Kenny King
This is like the calm down match and it's really like the first one as well. Both men deserve this match for the title tonight and have looked solid recently. Can Devitt hold both at the same time?. DG/PWG feeling in this one and the fans are down the middle although more are rooting for Devitt than King. Kenny wastes no time as he cannonballs himself into Devitt. He then runs the ropes and Devitt hits him with a chop and King fires up. He runs the ropes again and hits a rana onto Devitt taking him outside, followed by an over the top rope cross body.

Devitt proves that he's no joke and becomes Pride champion 8.5/10, 13:12. He celebrates with the title above his head as we cut away.
Backstage we hook up with Brian Cage and Samurai Del Sol, who is not booked for any matches this PPV. Brian tells Sol he's been given some mic time, but he would much rather have a match than cut a stupid promo to brag about himself. He already knows he's the best wrestler on A-Show. Samurai pushes him in a friendly way and point a finger at him. Cage laughs.....Then....Asks Sol, what if they had a rematch tonight? The European fans would no doubt love it. Who knows? Maybe they would steal the show? Sol is quite for a long time. Cage says it makes perfect sence. Two Undefeated Friends. Wrestling it out to finally show who is the best of them. And the winner, of course, can brag all he wants. Sol nods.....
Brian Cage vs Samuray Del Sol
Can't say Im a fan of this tbh. Wasting two undefeated streaks like this but a good back and forth match from both men with lots of high flying and powerful moves throughout. PWG feeling in this one and the fans love both of them. Fast kicks from each other and they stare each other down. Del Sol armdrags Cage to the floor and teases a dive. Cage misses his dive through the ropes and gets taken down by a headscissors. Sol then hits a big dive over the top rope taking out Cage and then hits him with a series of kicks.

They both reversed and were on shoulders. The referee then declares that this match is a draw as both men's shoulders were pinned down. Some fans boo but cheer both men and they both raise each others arm after the match 8.5/10, 12:33.
(Couldn't let either lose sorry. So made both look evenly good and a couple win/draw. It was still a good match and makes both look great instead of burying one person.)
Vatican Street Fight
Dean Ambrose Vs Kurt Angle
They have feuded for a while now and Ambrose has had the wins but Angle has held his own brawl wise. Vatican street fight is basically a normal street fight but it takes place in Rome. Ambrose is more heel and fans are cheering for Angle and Ambrose is number one contender but is currently in this feud with his opponent who just entered the ring Kurt Angle. We then hear some very odd music...it's not Ambrose's theme music and it appears to be Italian....no way...oh good god....Dean Ambrose has just driven out here in the popemobile whilst drinking and dressed as the pope!. Fans are booing like crazy and Ambrose parks it near the ring. He climbs on top of it and starts drinking!!!. He then pours the beer on top of the glass box. Angle is shocked by this as Ambrose throws the Pope's clothes down and reveals his wrestling gear. He turns around and faces away from the ring and Angle from behind starts climbing up on top of the popemobile and Angle's standing right behind him and he has no idea!. Ambrose turns around and Angle grabs him into a hold. WAAAH BELLY TO BELLY OFF THE POPEMOBILE INTO THE RING!!!. Fans go crazy and Angle pins him 1...2....NO Ambrose just holds on.
The bell has rung and here we go as the fans are going wild and Angle is all over Ambrose as he falls to the floor. Angle chases after Ambrose around the ring before getting back in, Ambrose hits the ropes and looks for the jawbreaker lariat but Angle catches him and hits a belly to belly again. All this in the first couple of minutes!. Ambrose rolls out quickly and Angle chases him around the other side and Ambrose gets in, so does Angle but Ambrose gets back out, tricks Angle, smacks him in the face and Angle is screaming in pain but why?. Oh god...Ambrose reveals what he has in his hands...it's a crucifix. Ambrose has a crucifix in his hand and then starts stabbing Angle's head over and over!. Angle is busted wide open and this is religiously sick. He scrapes and stabs Angle's head before stopping and then licking off the blood before throwing it into the crowd who are booing like crazy and Ambrose is just laughing at it. He must've gotten it from the pope attire but it was a good idea. The match slows down as Ambrose starts working over Angle.
Ambrose looks for the Dirty Deeds but Angle reverses it into a back drop driver and then locks in a chinlock. Ambrose escapes and starts chopping, slapping and raking Angle's eyes and he returns the favor with uppercuts and a back and forth which Ambrose wins with elbows and it takes Angle to the apron. Ambrose with a dropkick taking him off the apron. Ambrose hits a big dive taking him out and then hits an irish whip into the steps. Ambrose rolls him back inside and he gets a 2. Angle rolls out, trips up Ambrose, pulls him outside and throws him into and over the barricade. Angle and Ambrose then begin brawling in the crowd to fans delight but Ambrose with a low blow stops it. Ambrose gets back into the ringside area and onto the announce table. AMBROSE RUNS ACROSS BOTH ANNOUNCE TABLES AND JUMPS ONTO ANGLE IN THE CROWD. Ambrose is in control as he brings him back to the ringside area and smacks his head off the announce table.
Ambrose tears it apart and they're both on top of the table as he looks for Dirty Deeds but Angle reverses out of it and pushes Ambrose off the table. Angle attacks Ambrose by throwing him into the turnbuckle post and laying him down on the announce table. Angle goes to the top rope.

Ambrose signals the end DIRTY DEEDS 1..2...ANGLE KICKS OUT. Angle rolls outside the ring and Ambrose follows. He keeps on attacking Angle before sitting him on the outside apron. Ambrose then ties up Angle's neck and arms in bottom two ropes and it looks like what normally happens inside the ring. Angle looks like a crucifix stuck in the ropes and Ambrose gets an idea.
He smiles as he gets into the popemobile and reverses...all the way up the ramp...good god no he can't, it will kill him!. AMBROSE CHARGES AT FULL SPEED DOWN THE RAMPWAY..ANGLE UNHOOKS HIMSELF IN TIME AND DOES A HBK STYLE FLIP INTO THE RING AND THE POPEMOBILE CRASHES INTO THE RING APRON WITH A LOUD THUD!. The ring even moved after that. Angle is shocked and climbs onto the car roof. Ambrose is dazed and confused from that crash and stumbles out of it. Angle then pulls Ambrose up on top of the car but they're on the car's roof top and not atop the glass box. Angle grabs Ambrose and looks around with fans approval. Belly to belly...Angle stops, shakes his head, turns it into a german suplex position he wants this to hurt...what is he doing...oh god the glass box...BAAAM ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEXES AMBROSE THROUGH THE BULLETPROOF GLASS!!!. Fans are in utter shock and Ambrose is dead inside of the box. Angle crawls back into the ring and Ambrose is covered in blood and glass.
The ref has no idea what to do and asks Angle if he should stop the match but Angle grabs the referee's arm and says no. Angle then slowly pulls Ambrose out of the box, off the car roof and into the ring. Angle is in pain as well after that so he's going slowly. Ambrose either knowingly or unknowingly rolled a few times in the ring. Angle covers Ambrose 1.......2.......AMBROSE'S FOOT!. Somehow he put his foot on the rope and it may have been Angle's fault for not moving him or it was either a coincidence that Ambrose kept rolling in the ring to reach the ropes but a smart one and with all the time it took as well he managed to kick out. They wrestled in the other match but are brawling in this one. Angle is in pain and takes a step back before going back over to Ambrose. He's fighting back somehow and a stalemate happens in the ring near the ropes. Ambrose with what might be his last breath, pushes Angle back into the middle of the ring, JAWBREAKER LARIAT...1...2...THRE...NO!. Ambrose with an amazing last effort but it wasn't enough. Both men are pretty much out with fans loving this match. Angle's last breath as he looks for the Angle Slam!!!...AMBROSE REVERSES IT INTO A DIRTY DEEDS BUT ANGLE DROPS DOWN INTO THE ANKLE LOCK!!!. AMBROSE IS IN TROUBLE!!!. Ambrose crawls to the ropes but it doesn't matter because of the rules!. Ambrose is about to tap out and fans are shouting tap out!. Ambrose then climbs onto the car and is trying to pull Angle with him. He's actually crawling through the broken glass on the car. Angle's got no choice and lets go because of the ropes blocking him.
Ambrose crawls into the glass box and Angle follows...GLASS TO THE EYES. AMBROSE THROWS GLASS INTO THE EYES OF ANGLE. Ambrose tries to sneak past a blinded Angle but he grabs him in time and Ambrose has nowhere to go!. He starts kicking away inside the glass box but it's not breaking!. How ironic as he wanted to be Pope but can't wait to get out!. Ambrose has no choice but to climb on top of the glass box. Angle follows as well and grabs his leg. Angle is beating down Ambrose on top of the glass box. He wants revenge for everything Ambrose has done!. Ambrose is on his knees pleading with Angle and this is an Angle we've never seen before. He headbutts him over and over and over again, punches and slaps it's a mauling. Angle is insulting him and grabs him by the face and shouts DIE!. ANGLE PICKS HIM UP...NO WAY...ANGLE SLAM OFF THE TOP!?. WAAAAAH ANGLE SLAM OFF THE TOP OF THE POPE MOBILE GLASS BOX HOLY SHIT!!!...WAIT A MINUTE!!!. WITH THE MOMENTUM AMBROSE TURNED THE ANGLE SLAM INTO A CRADLE PIN AS THEY HIT THE MAT 1...2...3...IT'S OVER!!!! YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. Fans boo like crazy and Angle loses again. Ambrose wisely used momentum on the impact to hit a cradle pin for the win. Both men are completely out as fans cheer for Angle and Ambrose gets booed. Ambrose can't even celebrate after the match as refs help both of them to the back. Like him or hate him Ambrose is proving he's no joke and going to be around for a very long time 10/10 17:43.
(It was total nonstop action throughout and went from a wrestling match in the other match to a brawl/fight in this one. Both men looked great and Angle got revenge and Ambrose did some religious stuff for heel heat. Had to keep Ambrose strong though since he's number 1 contender but the ending was 100% Angle and so he almost won it was just a quick pin that let Ambrose win so Angle wasn't buried really.)
After this gruesome spectacle, we go to a promo for Sunday Night PRIDE, with all the contestants, and two mysterious new contenders, marked with ?.....
As we get back from this short break, we find ourselves on the ring, where Jeff Hardy has entered. His music stops as he's handed a microphone. He cut's a promo, telling that allthough he isn't scheduled to wrestle tonight, since he lost his return match against Willie Mack, he's got a couple of minutes of microphone tine and wanted to tell you all, even though you might not get it since you are European (some booo's from the audience. Jeff is somehow heelish here) To cut to the chase, my career has been bumpy and along the road I have got friends and I have lost friends. Well, lost more than I have got. But that is entirely my fault. Drug abuse and bad behavior has been a big part of my life, and I understand how so many people hate me. But.... heed with me people. I understand that my time has come. But I love this sport, and I want to go out as someone you people remember. And not for the bad parts. I....
He doesn't get to say anymore as he is brutally interrupted by the arena's speakers, who plays; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qHX493bB3U
Out on the stage walks a fair haired guy. He's dressed in cowboy boot's and denims. On his upper torso he's wearing a t-shirt with the text: Yes, I actually do look that damn good!
He wears sunglasses, and he is holding hands with a black haired girl. She's dressed in long black boots. Denim shorts and a black top with the Harley Davidson logo on it. They make their way down the ramp as the music plays. Jeff's standing in the middle of the ring, clearly annoyed by the interruption. The two makes their way into the ring and the blonde guy is handed a microphone.
Fair Haired Guy: Sorry for interrupting Jeff, but I think you actually made someone in the audience fall asleep with your babbleing. What I find peculiar is, as you said yourself, you are not scheduled to wrestle here tonight but given a couple of minutes to say whatever you want to say in the middle of this ring. And you choose to talk about stuff everyone knows about. There aint' a kid in this arena, or that's watching at home that doesn't know you are in for the good stuff now and then. Why don't you just accept the facts already and walk away like a decent person would do?
Jeff: Who the hell do you think you are?
The guy hands the microphone to the girl and with further ado, attacks. Jeff is completely taken off the guard and the blonde guy gets in a couple of brutal shots before he irish whips Jeff into the ropes, connecting with a brutal drop kick. Jeff goes down, but the guy is not finished with him. He pulls jeff up by the hair and locks his arms around Jeff's throat. He locks in the sleeper hold and Jeff quickly passes out. Security enters the ring to seperate the two men and secure the situation. The girl hands the microphone backs to the guy who now stands over jeff's lifeless body as EMT's are checking on him.
Fair Haired Guy: My name is Dolph Ziggler! And I just signed a EAM contract!!
He pulls out a peace of paper and puts it over Jeff as we cut to commercial for Monday Night Jamboree...
We Quit Tag Team Matchup For The EAM Tag Team Titles
If Young Bucks Loses, They Quit EAM
Young Bucks (c) Vs Randy Orton & Eddie Kingston
If Bucks lose then they quit and lose the titles. It's a double I Quit match so both men must say I Quit. Bucks have beat better tag teams and Orton/Kingston before but now they're a more focused team. Back and forth match throughout from all men. Signature/finishing moves attempted and a PWG style with a lot of high flying and hard hitting action. Bucks are heels and mess around with them at first teasing them with lucha, then Kingston gets tired of it and starts beating the crap out of the Matt. You don't mess with Kingston. Matt soon turns it around and send both Orton and Kingston outside and into the barricades, then they double hiptoss Orton and hit the double cartwheel dropkick. Kingston attacks both Bucks but they come right back with two double dives through the ropes taking him out!. Bucks are in control so far.
Back in the ring, Orton avoids the double team in the corner and Kingston hits a hard lariat on Matt. The rules are more relaxed because it is an I Quit match. Nick hits Kingston with a neckbreaker over the knee, and they throw Orton outside and NICK WITH A HUGE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT. Kingston throws Matt into the barricade, but Nick fights both Orton and Kingston off, hits Kingston with a springboard facebuster and a MOONSAULT OFF THE APRON ON ORTON. Nick's on the top rope and hits Kingston with a beautiful swanton and Matt asks Kingston to quit with the microphone and he says 'piss off'. Matt hits him over and over with the microphone. Orton is back in and double clotheslines the Bucks and changes the momentum. Orton begins working over the Bucks, in particular Nick. He hits him with hard shots and the running knee drop. Orton then hits a backbreaker and asks if he quits but he says 'blow me'. Orton signals the end with the RKO and waits him to get up...R..K...NICK rolls through and tags Matt!. He throws Orton outside and punches Kingston off the apron. Diving dropkick through the ropes on Orton and the split diving senton from Nick.
Bucks begin double teaming both Orton and Kingston in the ring and fans hate it. They're just so good at what they do!. Bucks ask both Orton/Kingston but they both say no and fight back at the same time. Kingston with an exploder suplex on Matt and Orton with a powerslam on Nick!. Kingston with a facewash and Orton is doing the kicks around the body. Orton/Kingston ask but Bucks both say 'screw you' and they attack the Bucks with the microphones. Orton opens Matt's legs and they put Nick's head between. Orton asks both men to quit but they say no again and Kingston curb stomps Nick's head into Matt's balls!. Kingston holds back Nick as Matt jumps around holding his balls and THE RKO BY ORTON!. Randy is about to ask Matt but Nick superkicks Kingston in the face and jumps on Orton stopping him. Bucks begin fighting back and hit the running powerbomb/enziguiri on Orton but Kingston from behind gets both of them and hits a double exploder suplex!. Kingston works over the Bucks now and hits headbutts and a buckle bomb in the corner. Nick throws Kingston out and Matt hits a dive and they start planning something.
They pull the protection off the floor and expose the concrete. NO NO STOP SPIKE PILEDRIVER ON THE OUTSIDE TO KINGSTON!. It's a smart but cruel move. Bucks laugh, celebrate and get back in the ring and start double teaming Orton and ask him but he says no. He is defenseless and Bucks hit More Bang for Your Buck on Orton and ask but he weakly says no again. Bucks don't know what to do and look at each other and nod. Matt goes outside the ring and looks under it...oh no...handcuffs. Matt then teases Orton with the handcuffs and forces him to quit but Orton slaps both of them!. Matt then hits him with the handcuffs over and over and handcuff him to the rope. They ask him again but he says no. BAAM DOUBLE SUPERKICK TO ORTON AS HE'S HANDCUFFED ON THE DAMN ROPES!. Orton is just out and can't even respond. Bucks get an idea and go outside, pick Kingston up and bring him back into the ring. Nick resuscitates Orton and teases him with the key. Orton's awake sitting down with the handcuffs on. Bucks have Kingston on his knees. Bucks threaten Kingston unless Orton says I quit. This is like a beheading video!. DOUBLE SUPERKICK TO KINGSTON AND HE COLLAPSES.
Bucks walk over to Orton and he smiles at them!?. Orton then says 'you know what?, I don't give a shit about those tag titles, that fat piece of shit Eddie Kingston or anyone else but me and this isn't worth that, I QUIT!!!' WHAT!?. Orton by himself quit willingly. Orton then asks Bucks to let me go and they're shocked and confused at this point but do it. Orton then stands up and shakes off the pain and gives a harsh look to Bucks and says 'stand him up', RKO TO KINGSTON. Orton leaves the ring and walks slowly up the rampway. He flips off Bucks, Kingston, fans and EAM's logo. Bucks are in shock right now and that wasn't planned but then start smiling and Kingston is just dead. Fans are booing Orton and Bucks as they are about to ask Kingston one final time but stop and say 'lets give him one more move'. Nick picks him up into a tombstone and Matt goes to the outside. SPRINGBOARD SENTON TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER HOLY SHIT THAT MUST BE THE MELTZER DRIVER!!! and they've never done that before. Bucks ask Kingston and he either doesn't say anything and the ref ends the match because he can't compete or he faintly says 'fuck you, I quit'. HUGE BOOS REIGN OUT FOR BUCKS. IT IS OVER. They celebrate in the ring with the belts and mock the fans. What a shocking turn of events in this and they remain undefeated and the greatest tag team in the world 9.5/10 15:23.
(Bucks have beat Orton/Kingston before so couldn't really lose against them. It's quite a hard stipulation to do as well. Couldn't let the Bucks lose to a random team so they had to win and showed off heelish and cockiness as always. Bucks losing and quitting would've been awful and stupid. Could've done a normal I quit match but it would've made both losers look weak. Orton did that so he can go back to being solo or even feud with Kingston and proves that he only cares about himself. So it's a perfect ending that makes Orton like an asshole even more, splits them up and makes him look strong because he quit by himself. Could've made it be Kingston doing that but Orton is a much bigger star and didn't want to bury Orton like that. Kingston could've just said nothing which ended the match so he looks sort of good or he faintly says it.)

Another great match here and it's just nonstop all the time. No comedowns at all which is a good thing a lot of the times. ACH has never lost a match but Cesaro has only just won the title belt.

ACH is up BAAAM KAMEHAMEHA WAVE the kick and the double palm thrust to the chest!. He rope hangs Cesaro again, goes to the top rope and hits Booker T the scissors kick onto Cesaro from the top...1..2..NO.
Cesaro survives and fires up as he hits hard uppercuts and turns him around for a german suplex. ACH JUMPS OUT OF IT, ONTO THE ROPES AND LOOKS FOR THE ACE CRUSHER BUT CESARO HITS THE UPPERCUT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! DONE!. 1..2..NO!!?. Cesaro is shocked by how good ACH is.

...CESARO KICKED OUT!!?. That was surely 3?!. ACH cant believe it, waits for Cesaro to get back up and looks for another springing ace crusher and gets it...woh Cesaro holds onto it, stops it and moves ACH's body above his head into a fireman's carry, throws his body into the air....WAAAAH UPPERCUT. THAT WAS MOVIE LIKE....1....2....3 DONE!. WOW IT'S ALL OVER. Cesaro breaths a sigh of relief. Cesaro is in shock, smiling and celebrates with his title. ACH is on the ropes and in a move reminiscent of Taker/Hardy, Cesaro raises ACH's hand. He may have lost for the first ever time but what a way to do it. Maybe if Cesaro was champion for a long time he would've lost but he's still fresh and focused on the title. We cut away as fans cheer Athletic Charismatic and Heart, 10/10 and 14:45.
(Hard one but Cesaro just won the title and couldn't let him lose. Sad ACH lost but he proved a lot of things to people and it was only his first loss. Both looked good and a pretty solid match.)
After a short promo for A-Show, we are back at the arena, and in the ring are chairman Emil a. He asks the fans if they are having a great night so far, and gets cheer jubilation from the whole arena. He smiles and says that's fine, but we have to get down to serious business. Since the start of the show the fans have got the chance to vote for what kind of match The King of The Canvas Title will be contested in. And now is time to find out!
Fans Choose The Stipulation For The KOTC Title
Dog-Collar Matchup
Adam Cole (c) Vs Kevin Steen
Wasting no time after that possible show stealing match with this one. These two have feuded for a while and Kevin Steen still has his case remember. It is a title match and if he wins then he'll hold the both the case and the title. Both men come down the ramp and enter the ring. The announce makes the ruling and we have a cage hanging above the ring, a strap outside and a dog collar. We see the tron and the votes are in, 10% have voted for a strap match, 40% a cage but the winner with 50% a dog collar match!. The fans cheer and realize that with a dog collar...Cole can't go anywhere. Cole fights it off at first but Steen attacks him and puts it on. PWG/ROH style throughout this one and for the next couple of minutes it's Steen working over and torturing Cole. He whips him with the collar and Cole tries to escape and Steen is smiling and loving it. Cole grabs a hold of the chain and rams it into Steen's knee which takes him down. Cole isn't a joke, he can wrestle and is very good.
Cole starts working over the knee of Steen and whipping him with the collar. He attempts an early figure four around the ring post with the collar locked in. Cole looks for the Panama but Steen fights it off and hits a powerbomb for a 2 count. He goes to the top rope and hits a back senton for another close 2. Cole looks for a superkick but its blocked by Steen with another powerbomb. Steen puts Cole on the top rope and hits the fisherman's buster 1...2...NO. Steen looks for the packaged piledriver but the knee hurts. Superkick by Cole and he locks in a sharpshooter with fans booing Cole. Steen is in trouble and tries to escape but Cole wisely chokes Steen with the collar at the same time. Steen rolls out of it though and locks in a crossface and then puts the chain across Cole's face!. Steen hits a sidewiner and a suplex across the knee. Cole is the bad guy but fans love Steen and give him Ole chants for some reason. Steen looks for a swanton off the top rope but Cole drags the collar down and he falls. Cole chokes Steen with the collar, ties him up in it and hits a german bridging suplex 1...2...NO he kicks out. Cole signals the and hits the Florida Key!!!...1...2...STEEN KICKED OUT SOMEHOW.
Cole looking for a superkick but Steen moves the chain into Cole's balls. Steen then sits him on the top rope. Steen looks around at the fans as they chant OLE OLE OLE AND BAAAAM BRAINBUSTAAAAAH 1...2...NO!!!. Steen paying tribute to his Mexican friend. Steen whips Cole over and over with the chain before Cole pleads on his knees for Steen to stop and looks for a cheap low blow which Steen also stops and Cole even looks at the ref like he's about to superkick him to try and find a way out but Steen looks for the packaged piledriver....Cole rolls out of it...SUPERKICK TO STEEN BUT OH SHIT THE REF WAS NEAR STEEN. The ref just got wiped out by Steen falling into him and the chain knocked the referee in the face. You gotta wonder if Cole positioned and timed that on purpose. Steen and the ref are down and Cole smiles...what is he doing. Cole quickly takes his collar off and goes to the outside?. He then throws the strap in from the match choices and shouts something at a guy. 'Give me it' he shouts as Cole gets back into the ring and has a device in his hand. He whips Steen over and over again with the strap until his back is red. He then wraps the rest of the chain around Steen's neck in a noose. He has the device in his hand...oh shit it's the cage!. He's lowering the cage.
The cage has been lowered and while he keeps an eye on the ref, Cole has lowered the cage and putting the dog collar and tying it around the cage. NO NO NO WAAAAAH HE RAISES THE CAGE WITH THE DEVICE. STEEN IS DANGLING IN MID AIR WITH THE CAGE BY HIS NECK, THE REF IS STARTING TO STIR. Steen is shaking in the air and Cole finally brings the cage back up, adds some more whips with the strap to Steen before throwing it out outside. He throws the device outside as well near the entrance ramp and Cole puts his collar back on. Steen is lifeless in the ring and Cole superkicks Steen in the face and collapses. The ref is back up and sees both men completely out. Cole pretends he's hurt and injured and covers Steen 1...2...3...omg. That sonofabitch!. Cole keeps the belt, he rolls out the ring while pretending he's hurt, grabs his belt, walks up the rampway as Steen starts to stir and he is pissed!. Cole looks scared and shocked but picks up the device on the rampway and lowers the cage again!. Cole is trying to trap Steen in the cage and he throws the device down breaking it before running backstage. Steen breaks out the door or climbs over the top feeling pissed, annoyed, embarrassed and choking. What a weird ending and it's pretty controversial. It is a dog collar match though so technically anything goes. He didn't kick the ref, unless he put Steen in that position on purpose so that would happen. You can't blame him for taking that opportunity. Cole survives again but Steen still has his case, 9/10 and 14:22.
(Can't let him lose because he has just won the belt and is a great wrestler. Both men looked pretty good and used the collar throughout. It was the best gimmick without overkill. Thought it would be cool if all the gimmicks got used though for the fans. Kept Cole's heel ways as well. Don't think Cole should get into trouble because he only took his collar off really. Maybe he put Steen in that position so he'd fall on the ref on purpose or maybe he didn't. Who knows with Cole. He could've took the collar off while the ref was up but he would've saw it so it makes sense he'd do it afterwards. Even though if he took it off before it could've been the thing that took the ref out. Both ways could work for Cole's heelness. Steen still looked good.).
After a short Extreme Extravaganza promo we go back to the PPV, where chairman Emil A. is in the ring. He says he's got some pretty important news to tell everyone, and he's pretty exited about it. It seems people here in Rome has enjoyed this so much, so he's decided to have another show tomorrow. A Supershow. That means there will not be any Jamboree, A-Show, Extreme Extravaganza or Pride show this week, but all brands will participate in tomorrows let's say mini-PPV. Speaking of brands, tomorrow will have significant value for what is going to happen one month from now on. Because then we are having ourselves a little PPV that I've liked to call; Battle Of The Brands! And as it sounds like, there will be one winner. And there sure will be a loser. And the losing brand will cease to exist. I will let that sink in before I continue....... The match I'm talking about that will happen tomorrow is no ordinary match. oh no. This match has controversy written all over it. It's a 6-man tag team match, and I can tell you this much. Neither of the tag team partners like each other. But... if they don't co-operate, they will fail there brand! And that is not a good start, going into the Battle Of The Brands...
I also have some other surprised in stall for you. But that will have to wait until tomorrow. Now, enjoy the rest of the show!
Career Vs Mask Matchup
Kane Vs Super Dragon
Well, here we go Kane's possible last hurrah. If Kane loses it is over. What a career though. If Kane wins then Dragon loses his mask. Very emotional night for both men. A more of a calm down and relaxed match because of the previous and next ones but more emotional. Dragon makes his entrance and so does Kane who comes out like the olden days. Kane is very relaxed, calmed and slow. Dragon is also getting on as well and maybe not as good as he once was but he still beat Kane. If Kane did win then maybe he could go on and have his last match at GS 12 or when he wants it and not for it to end like this in Italy. Would Kane be ok with his career ending in a different country?. It might be a special thing but not as good as where he wants his career ending. This will be a more slow relaxed match.
Both men face off in the ring. Wait a minute!!!...KANE WITH A CHOKESLAM...1...2...NO DRAGON KICKED OUT. He wasn't expecting that. Kane is all over him!. This is a Kane we have not seen in a long time. Kane with punches and a backbreaker 1...2...NO. He's all over Dragon right now. Kane looks for another chokeslam but Dragon pushes him off and kicks him as Kane only fires up!. Dragon with headbutts over and over but Kane with headbutts back. No way already?!...TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER FROM KANE 1....2....NO DRAGON KICKS OUT JUST. Nobody thought this match would be this intense or so fast. Holy shit Kane doesn't want to end his career like this. Kane goes to the top rope and hits the top rope clothesline and the seated dropkick 1...2...NO. People expected this match to be slow and paced out but its of been a couple of minutes. Kane looks for another chokeslam but Dragon with elbows and the fans are going crazy right. ELBOWS DON'T WORK AND KANE WITH ANOTHER CHOKESLAM...

...NO.
Dragon kicked out somehow. Dragon is getting his ass whooped. Its like Kane saved up all this energy for his last possible match. Kane wants revenge on Dragon and it would be sad if he lost twice in a row but Kane's doing a good job of burying Dragon now so even if he does lose then he looked good. Kane with a scoop slam and a legdrop for another close 2. Dragon has done nothing. Kane signals the end again and looks for the Tombstone...wait Dragon reverses it into his own tombstone...but Kane rolls through!?. Kane runs the ropes and hits a big boot, followed by a dropkick!?. THIS IS CRAZY AND FANS ARE GOING LOCO. Kane A THIRD CHOKESLAM ON DRAGON. KANE PICKS UP DRAGON LOOKS FOR IT....BAAAAAM TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER...
....NO WAY....

WHAT!?.
What just happened!?. Its over!. He did it!. Good god what a shocker. Kane can't believe it himself. Kane grabs a hold of Dragon's mask and rips it off but only half of it comes off as he runs to the back but who cares!. He doesn't give a shit about the mask he didn't lose!. He just buried Dragon in 5 minutes!. What a shocker and he celebrates with the fans going wild. His career isn't ending yet or in Italy. Maybe Grandslam 12 is what he's looking at 4/5 minutes, 7/10.
(Was back and forth on this. Thought it should be the end but I guess he can continue on until GS12 with a more perfect ending for him. Ending it like that losing twice and in a different country even though he comes from hell would be sort of sad. The mask didn't matter so it took away from it and maybe Dragon can still keep his mask or wear a half mask etc. He was buried but it doesn't happen much and Kane needed revenge and Dragon is getting older so that could explain it as well and it won't hurt Dragon that much. Could've done a long slow back and forth match but that's cliched and this is more of a shock. Could've done Dragon winning right at the end after getting a beatdown but that's also cliched.)
EAM Title Matchup
Daniel Bryan (c) Vs Luke Harper
Our main event of the evening. The former Brodie Lee and Bryan Danielson are in the main event which is a big deal. Some people might think this isn't a big enough main event but they would be wrong. Harper is sort of a tweener and has been cheered by the fans and the same thing happened with Daniel but they love him more. Can Daniel Bryan keep the title or could Harper pull off a shock victory?. HERE WE GO and Harper shoves Bryan into the ropes, Bryan escapes and connects with punches, but Harper grabs him and pushes him into the ropes again. Harper then begins attacking him and ripping at his hair. Harper picks Daniel off the mat, but Bryan looks to end this one early and locks in the Yes Lock. Harper quickly rolls out of the ring to escape in time and here comes Daniel with a running suicide dive through the ropes. Daniel gets yesses from the crowd and continues working over Harper.
Daniel looks for a kick which is blocked and Harper throws Bryan into the barricade. Harper does it two more times and irish whips him into the steel steps. Harper throws him into the ring, picks him up and uppercuts him twice and looks for a third but Bryan reverses with a backslide...1...2...No. Harper charges for a clothesline which misses and Bryan starts kicking away at him before Harper tries a kick and Daniel hits a dragon screw legwhip. Daniel goes to the corner and does the yesses but Harper comes charging in and Daniel drop toe holds his face into the turnbuckle. Bryan looks for the drop kick, however Harper hits the Truck Stop...1...2...NO!. Another elbow before putting him in the corner and slapping him over and over then follows it up with an irish whip but Daniel runs up the turnbuckle and flips over him. Harper charges and is met by the running elbow. Daniel then looks for and connects with the kicks over and over, goes for the final one but Harper picks him in and drops him down with a powerbomb for a two.
Harper makes a shock weird face and crawls over to him, knees him in the head and does the Gator Roll over and over before locking in a bear-hug. Fans cheer for him as he fights out of it and finally hits the last kick from earlier. He goes to the corner, looks for the Knee but Harper is up and runs at Daniel, however he pulls down the ropes and Harper goes over the top. Daniel looks for the dive again but in mid air HARPER REVERSES IT INTO A SPINEBUSTER INTO THE BARRICADE. Harper gets in the ring, waits for Daniel to get back up and HITS A SUICIDE DIVE ON DANIEL. The size of him doing that and he lets out a YEEEEEEAAAAAH before throwing Daniel back in the ring 1...2...NO. Harper signals the and looks for the Harper line...Daniel with a crucifix pin 1...2...NO. Daniel then locks in a surfboard and gets it!. Good god he has this huge man in a surfboard, locks in a Dragon Sleeper and Harper's neck is bent back but it's too much and Daniel's gotta let go. Daniel uppercuts Harper in the corner. Daniel goes to the opposite corner, looks for the running kick and Harper hits a huge big boot taking him down. Harper then kicks Daniel over and over again on the mat.
Harper picks him up and looks for the sitdown powerbomb but Daniel rolls through...1....2...NO Harper kicks out and Daniel reverses it into the Yes Lock again. If Harper had Bray Wyatt with him then maybe he could help but he's not in EAM. Harper is in trouble and is about to tap but manages to reach the ropes. Daniel then goes to the top rope and hits the flying dropkick and ascends the other ropes and is looking for the headbutt!. What a good back and forth technical match this one is and Daniel jumps but Harper catches him in mid air and hits a backbreaker across the knee!. Harper signals the end again and HITS THE HARPER LINE AND NOT MANY PEOPLE HAVE KICKED OUT OF THAT...1....2....NO Daniel just did. Harper gives a shock expression, picks him up and goes for a chokeslam as Daniel twists his body around with a roll up 1...2...NO. Daniel quickly goes to the corner and fans are going wild.

THRE...
NO...Daniel kicked out somehow!. Harper is again shocked and doesn't know what to do, picks him up, slaps him across the face, shoves Daniel back and hits the superkick and goes to the top rope?. Is he out of his damn mind and Harper jumps as Daniel gets back up....YES LOCK BY DANIEL. Harper falls to the mat with a beautiful reversal by Daniel and Harper's in trouble....he can't escape...Harper tries rolling around but it isn't working and he's about to....Harper wiggles back and forth, rolls out of the Yes Lock and so does Daniel. Both men hit the rope opposite sides, Daniel leapfrogs over Harper's head, hits the opposite ropes and BAAAAM THE KNEE+ ON HARPER...1...2...3 DONE!. What an ending by Daniel and he keeps the title belt. Daniel survives again but what a challenge for him and they may proven people wrong by thinking this wasn't a strong enough main event when it was more than good 9/10/10 and 20:45. It's sad Harper didn't win but both men still looked good and maybe one day he will become champion also Daniel's still on fire, a fresh fighting champion and nobody has kicked out of one Knee Plus yet. Daniel celebrates in the ring with Yesses and his title belt as we cut to black.
