INT. FLAIR’S OFFICE – NIGHT

Ric Flair is talking with Arn Anderson when Nykk comes in.

Flair: You want something, pal?

Nykk: Yeah, I want to know why you’re siding with the nWo all of a sudden.

Flair: Listen, this has nothing to do with the way I’ll be doing business…

Nykk: I think it will, Flair. Three weeks ago, you congratulate us on the little trick we played on X-pac, and now all of a sudden, you’re embracing the poison that’s trying to destroy your half of the company? No! What the hell have we been fighting for the past two months anyway?

Flair: Well, how about this? You want to barge in here uninvited, make a scene and backtalk me when I hired your friends after Vince McMahon fired them? I’m booking a match right here tonight between you and the Big Show. Let this be a lesson. My business with the nWo is my business. Not yours.

Nykk: You know what? That’s fine. Because after I go through the Big Show tonight and X-pac at Judgment Day, there won’t be an nWo to do business with.

He storms out of Flair’s office.

INT. ARENA – NIGHT

MATCH: Croooooow and Cynric vs. Booker T and Goldust

Goldust’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring.

JR: Here comes Goldust, who’s set for tag action here on Raw.

King: He’s going to be involved in that big six-man match at Judgment Day, but he and his partner Booker T don’t seem to be getting along too well.

Booker T’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring.

JR: Goldust’s partner, and I guess fellow movie critic, Booker T is on his way down. They’re going to have to get past the PPV Squad tonight before they team with William Regal at Judgment Day.

The PPV Squad theme hits and Croooooow and Cynric make their way to the ring.

JR: The brothers Croooooow and Cynric are on their way to the ring, and it looks like this will be a very heated tag match.

King: They’re probably looking for some revenge after what happened to them last week, but they better stay focused on Goldust and Booker.

FINISH: As a brawl between all four men erupts, William Regal comes down to the ring as Booker misses a leaping sidekick and nails Goldust instead of Cynric. Regal tries to throw Booker the brass knuckles, but Croooooow swats the knuckles into the crowd with his hand and Booker clotheslines him over the top rope. Booker goes out after him and as Goldust gets up, Cynric hits the Lift Off and gets the pin.

Winners: Croooooow and Cynric at 4:49

JR: William Regal tried to help out his teammates for Judgment Day, but Croooooow had a sharp eye out for those knuckles and batted them into the third row!

King: That’s the kind of swing that would make Mark McGuire jealous.

As Croooooow and Cynric leave, Goldust and Booker start to argue in the ring. They get into a shoving match, but Regal gets between them and breaks it up.

JR: Well, Regal better make sure he has a team for this Sunday, because he’ll have to team with Booker and Goldust against Croooooow, Cynric and Cheesecake. If they can’t get along, they’ll lose for sure.

INT. LOCKER ROOM – NIGHT

Jonathan Coachman is standing by with Shawn Stasiak.

Coach: Mr. Stasiak, tonight you’ll be going up against Huh from the PPV Squad. This is a guy who’s a known buffoon and is probably the only guy with a bigger loss column than you. Do you think tonight could be the night you break your losing streak?

Stasiak: Coach, rethink your approach, for tonight I squash Huh like a roach. I admit I’m on a losing streak, and it looks mighty bleak, but some information leaked that I was wrestling Huh the Weak. Talent I don’t lack, so fire up your VCRs and sit back, because now I attack, and Huh will feel the wrath… of Planet Stasiak!

He leaves the locker room.

INT. ARENA – NIGHT

MATCH: Nykk vs. The Big Show

The nWo theme hits and the Big Show makes his way to the ring, along with X-pac, who has his elbow taped up.

JR: Here comes the Big Show, who will go one on one with Nykk momentarily. And of course X-pac is out here with him, though he looks worse for wear.

King: You would be too if Nykk put you in about five different submission holds in about a ten minute span.

JR: Nykk injured X-pac’s elbow last week with a cross armbreaker and again with a standing crossface. You gotta believe that this could factor heavily into their Submission Match this Sunday.

Nykk’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring, along with Croooooow.

JR: Well, Nykk didn’t come along either! His partner Croooooow is on the way to the ring with him.

King: That’s a smart idea. The Big Show can’t count on interference too much since even with X-pac lurking around, there are more PPV Squad members than nWo members.

FINISH: As Nykk gets ready to apply the Bellbrookville Cedarleaf X-pac gets on the apron. Nykk hits him, and Croooooow comes over to hit X-pac with right hands. X-pac runs away, and Show tries to clothesline Nykk from behind. Nykk ducks and hits a leg lariat that staggers Show. He dropkicks the knee and then gets on the second turnbuckle, taking Show down with a half nelson bulldog. X-pac tries to get away from Croooooow by climbing to the top turnbuckle, but Nykk gets on the second rope and nails X-pac, sending him back to the floor. Show sneaks up on Nykk and grabs him by the throat, executing the chokeslam from the second rope. As X-pac reverses a whip on Croooooow into the stairs, Show pins Nykk.

Winner: The Big Show at 6:23

JR: The Big Show wins it after X-pac interfered despite the presence of Croooooow at ringside.

King: And it looks like he wants some more of Nykk.

X-pac gets in the ring and helps Show stomp on Nykk. Then X-pac applies the crossface chickenwing, and Nykk taps out after a few moments.

King: He’s tapping out! Nykk’s tapping out to the crossface chickenwing!

Croooooow comes in with a chair and hits X-pac and Show, sending them scurrying from the ring. However, the Big Show gets back in the ring and punches the chair back into Croooooow’s face. He picks up Nykk and Croooooow and gives them a double chokeslam. Cheesecake comes out to help but gets tossed off the apron and into the barricade. As the Big Show poses, the Pyro Twins’ theme hits and Jay and Dusty run down. They get in the ring and nail the Big Show with right hands to the face and ribs. They whip him into the ropes and hit a double flying shoulder tackle that sends him down. The Big Show rolls out of the ring as the Pyro Twins check on Nykk and Croooooow.

JR: Good Lord, the Pyro Twins just felled the big sequoia that is the Big Show, but the bigger story here is Nykk actually tapping out to the crossface chickenwing.

King: That just goes to show you how painful the move really is. It should be very interesting at Judgment Day.

INT. ARENA – NIGHT

MATCH: Huh vs. Shawn Stasiak

Shawn Stasiak’s theme hits and he makes his way to the ring.

JR: Here comes Shawn Stasiak, who proves time and time again that he is definitely goofier than a pet coon.

King: That’s Planet Stasiak, JR, get it right. Maybe he’ll finally break that losing streak tonight.

JR: Well, I have to agree. Look who he’s facing.

Huh’s theme hits and he dances his way to the ring.

JR: Huh seems fired up tonight, but then again he has certainly lost the majority of his matches here in the WWF, which is sad because I do believe that this young man has talent.

King: Talent? All he does is come out here and dance when he’s supposed to be wrestling. You’d think he’d wise up sooner or later, but it hasn’t happened.

FINISH: Huh’s fondness for dancing gets him in trouble throughout the match, but the tide turns when Stasiak throws him into the corner. He charges and Huh does the Electric Slide out of the way. Stasiak hits the turnbuckles and turns around. Huh charges and hits an avalanche in the corner. Stasiak drops to the canvas and Huh goes to the top rope and hits a moonsault for the three count.

Winner: Huh at 3:56

King: Huh wins!

JR: I don’t believe it. The power of Planet Stasiak couldn’t even overcome that clueless Huh.

Huh looks surprised that he won and launches into a victory dance.

King: Look at him go, JR!

JR: Good for Huh. There may be hope for him yet.

Heat

Terri is standing by with X-pac.

Terri: X-pac, tonight at Judgment Day, you will be facing Nykk in a Submission Match. Over the past few weeks, Nykk has made you tap out numerous times, but this past Monday, you made him tap out to the crossface chickenwing.

X-pac: That’s right, Terri. Nykk’s not the only one that knows a few submission holds. Nykk is the one that wanted a submission match, and tonight he’s got it! Nykk, you’re going to pay for the way you humiliated me last month and tonight you’ve dug your own grave, pal. This feud ends right here tonight. There’s an old saying that goes, ‘If you’re not with us, you’re against us.’ Nykk, you showed that you didn’t want to be with us, and tonight I’m not letting go of that crossface chickenwing until I’m sure you’re going on a little vacation to the hospital.

He leaves the set.
