EXT. ARENA - NIGHT

Jonathan Coachman is awaiting the arrival of Triple H in the parking lot, but sees the PPV Squad coming in.

Coach: Hold on a minute King, JR, I see the entire PPV Squad is making their way into the building...

He walks over to the PPV Squad.

Coach: Nykk, I see that the PPV Squad is out in full force tonight. What do you have planned for tonight after the vicious attacks perpetrated on you last week?

Nykk: It's very simple, Coach. We're here for payback, what else?

Coach: Well... Raw GM Eric Bischoff has not booked you guys to compete...

Nykk: So? Bischoff underestimates us if he thinks we weren't going to come back after last week. We're here, we're ready to fight, and if that greaseball Eric Bischoff gets in our faces, he'll just be another stain here on the pavement when we get through with him. And as for the ECW rejects, and Benoit and Guerrero, if they want a war, we'll damn sure oblige them. Come on, guys.

They walk into the building.

INT. ARENA - NIGHT

Steven Richards and Justin Credible have just beaten the Hardy Boyz, thanks to Mike Awesome, when the Pyro Twins' theme hits and they make their way to the ring. They both have steel chairs.

JR: Uh oh...

King: It's the Pyro Twins, and they have chairs!

JR: I reckon that this extreme alliance better get out of dodge and fast.

Credible attacks with his kendo stick, but Jay nails him in the midsection and then nails him across the back with the chair. Dusty lunges for Richards, but he slides out of the ring and runs off through the crowd. Awesome blindsides Dusty and whips him into the ropes, but Dusty ducks down and Jay throws his chair, nailing Awesome in the head. Awesome staggers backwards and tangles himself between the top and middle rope. Dusty picks up his chair and hits Awesome over the head with it, knocking him cold. Justin Credible gets up, but Jay sends him down with a shot to the head.

JR: The Pyro Twins have jumped Justin Credible and Mike Awesome!

King: This isn't right! Where are the referees and officials?

JR: You'd have to be crazy to get between these four men.

Dusty gets out of the ring and slides a table in. Jay takes some lighter fluid out of his pocket and douses the table in it as Dusty sets it up. Dusty then takes some matches and lights the table on fire. He then picks Credible up and powerbombs him through the flaming table.

JR: Good Lord! Dusty Schneble has just powerbombed Justin Credible through that flaming table. He may have suffered some serious burns.

King: And Mike Awesome might have a concussion!

Awesome finally releases himself from the ropes and staggers to the middle of the ring, only to receive Final Darkness from the Pyro Twins. Their theme hits and they stand over Credible and Awesome.

JR: The Pyro Twins have struck back with a vengeance. But what about Richards? And what will the rest of the PPV Squad do tonight?

INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT

Steven Richards is running for his life down the hallway, but Croooooow rams him from the side from an adjacent room with a forearm. He then rams Richards into the wall. He picks Richards up and whips him across the hallway and into a bunch of boxes and CLANGY PIPES! He then opens a side door and pushes Richards out into the parking garage.

INT. PARKING GARAGE - NIGHT

Croooooow continues to stomp on Richards?s head, and brings out a trash can. He lifts Richards for a Demon Driver, and drops him head-first into the trash can.

Croooooow: Right at home, huh, Stevie?

He walks back into the arena.

INT. ARENA - NIGHT

After Eddie Guerrero has a successful title defense over Bubba Ray Dudley, Nykk walks down to the ring with a long rope with a noose on the end.

JR: What the heck is Nykk doing out here with a noose?

King: I don't know, JR, but this doesn?t look good for Latino Heat!

Nykk straddles the rope on the top rope and gets in the ring. Eddie charges, but Nykk ducks a clothesline and hits Guerrero with some right hands. He whips Eddie into the ropes and ducks his head, but Eddie kicks him in the face and tries to hit a brainbuster. Nykk wriggles free and counters into a reverse DDT, laying Eddie out. He walks over and gets the noose.

JR: Nykk has laid out the Intercontinental Champion, but what's he planning on doing now?

Nykk ties the noose around Guerrero's neck and fastens it. He takes hold of the end of the rope and leaves the ring. He drags Eddie Guerrero up the ramp, while Eddie tries futilely to get the noose off his neck. After a minute or so, they disappear behind the curtain.

King: Someone has to stop this right now!

JR: Who knows what's going to happen. Chris Benoit can't save Eddie, because he hasn't arrived yet!

INT. BACKSTAGE - NIGHT

Nykk drags Eddie, not caring what Eddie bumps into. He finally arrives in an open space and tosses the rope through something in the ceiling. He then pulls on the rope, raising Guerrero into the air, who is still struggling to get free. He ties the rope on a piece of heavy equipment and looks at Eddie hanging there.

Nykk: You said I can't hang with you? We'll see who gets beaten like a pi�ata!

He gets a broomstick and starts whacking Guerrero with it in the ribs and back. The PPV Squad appears, and Cynric lends Nykk his bo. Nykk whacks Guerrero in the nuts with it as an army of officials arrives but is kept at bay by the rest of the Squad.

Nykk: You like that, Eddie? No? You want to sit down?

He gets a chair and hits Guerrero with it. He then signals to Cheesecake, who uses a pair of bolt cutters to cut the rope. Eddie falls to the ground, gasping for air. Nykk takes the chair and throws it on top of him.

Nykk: That's enough of this backstage stuff. Let's take it to the ring.

He leaves, and the rest of the PPV Squad follows him while EMTs attend to Eddie Guerrero.

INT. ARENA - NIGHT

The brand new PPV Squad theme hits as the PPV Squad makes their way to the ring en masse.

JR: There has been a war going on all night, and here come the group that has been at the forefront of it, the PPV Squad!

King: They're all out here, and they don't look too happy.

JR: Eric Bischoff started this war, first by organizing some brutal attacks on the PPV Squad last week, and then not booking them to compete tonight. And if there's one thing that the PPV Squad loves to do, it's compete.

King: Even Shadow, Huh and Cheesecake are out here, and they weren't even attacked last week!

Nykk gets a mic.

Nykk: Is everybody enjoying the show so far tonight? That's good. The PPV Squad strives to entertain. Normally, we're all about jokes and fun and games as well as good wrestling. However, there comes a point when the entertainment stops and the wrestling begins. And we're looking toward SummerSlam as that point. Eddie Guerrero, last week you said that you have pinned me on two straight PPVs. You're absolutely correct, but you also said that you could pin me twice in the same night. Well, here?s your chance to step up. At SummerSlam, I challenge you to a two out of three falls match for the WWE Intercontinental Title!

JR: Two out of three falls with Eddie Guerrero? What a match that will be!

Nykk hands the mic to Croooooow.

Croooooow: Don't think that you're safe, Justin Credible. You extremists are growing, but you have a ways to go before you reach the PPV Squad's numbers. I?m challenging you, Mike Awesome, and Steven Richards to an eight-man tag match at SummerSlam against Cynric, the Pyro Twins and myself. Since you want an extreme group, maybe by the time SummerSlam gets here you'll have another member extreme enough to team with. And Steven Richards, I really hope our paths cross again, because I have some real special things planned for you. But tonight, we want to do something we haven?t done before. We want to assemble the biggest mass of PPV Squad members ever on one team. We're challenging Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Justin Credible Mike Awesome and Steven Richards to a ten-man tag against myself, Nykk, Cynric and the Pyro Twins!

JR: A ten-man tag tonight?

King: Unbelievable, JR!

Nykk: If you five have the guts, step into the ring and prove us wrong, Benoit... see if you can beat me like a pi�ata, Eddie! This is a war of attrition and it starts right here. Benoit... Guerrero... extremists... tonight, it's just like Cheesecake likes to say...

Cheesecake: You're going down!

The PPV Squad theme hits.

JR: How about that? We'll have a ten-man tag match tonight. The PPV Squad vs. Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and the Extremists.

King: The PPV Squad are in for it now! What are they thinking?

INT. PROMO SET - NIGHT

Terri is standing by with Chris Benoit.

Terri: Chris Benoit, I know you heard the challenge for tonight from the PPV Squad, and you have to have heard about their attacks on Eddie Guerrero and the Extremists earlier. As a representative of all five men, do you accept the challenge for the ten-man tag?

Benoit: I?ve talked with Eddie and all three Extremists, and we all agree that the PPV Squad must be destroyed for their behavior tonight. This goes beyond attrition. It's Armageddon for the PPV Squad tonight, courtesy of the Crippler, Latino Heat, Mike Awesome, Justin Credible and Steven Richards.

INT. ARENA - NIGHT

MATCH: The PPV Squad vs. Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Justin Credible, Mike Awesome and Steven Richards

Chris Benoit's theme hits and he, Eddie Guerrero, Justin Credible, Mike Awesome and Steven Richards make their way to the ring.

JR: This is our main event, ladies and gentlemen, and it's a ten-man tag. They all look vicious, especially Eddie Guerrero, after what Nykk did to him earlier tonight.

King: I'd be pissed too. I think that with Benoit on their team, the PPV Squad doesn't stand a chance.

JR: Keep in mind that Eddie, Richards, Credible and Awesome may not be at one hundred percent after being beaten down earlier.

The PPV Squad theme hits and Nykk, Croooooow, Cynric and the Pyro Twins make their way to the ring.

JR: The PPV Squad are angry over what transpired last week, but they have the upper hand at this time.

King: This is the most of the PPV Squad we've ever seen team together.

Nykk and Croooooow reach the ring apron first and glare at the opposition. As they get in, Benoit, Guerrero and the rest attack, and Cynric and the Pyro Twins run down and slide in as the bell rings. All ten men brawl for a few seconds with neither team getting the upper hand. Awesome back drops Croooooow over the top rope and goes outside to join him. Nykk chases Eddie Guerrero out of the ring while a clothesline from Dusty sends both himself and Benoit over the top rope while Cynric stomps Credible out of the ring before returning to his own corner, leaving Jay and Steven Richards. Jay tries to powerbomb Richards, but he drops Jay over his back. Jay hangs on and Richards bridges up. He tries to segue into a backslide, but Jay counters into a hangman's neckbreaker. He whips Richards into the ropes, ducks a clothesline, and then hits a spinebuster on the rebound. He tries a legdrop, but Richards moves out of the way and crawls to his corner, tagging Mike Awesome. Awesome hits a slingshot shoulderblock from the outside and then picks Jay up, whipping him into the ropes. Jay ducks a clothesline and hits a spinning heel kick, staggering Awesome. He tags Dusty, and they rush over to Awesome. They whip him into the ropes and hit a double leg trip, followed by bouncing off the ropes and nailing simultaneous double dropkicks to his ribs. Awesome gets to his feet and Dusty heaves him over with a teardrop suplex. He covers but Awesome throws him off. Dusty whips him into the ropes, but Awesome reverses and catches Dusty, executing an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Dusty crawls to a corner as Awesome tags Justin Credible. Credible rushes over to Dusty and grabs his feet, yanking him into the air and catching him with a tiger bomb out of the corner for two. Credible bounces off the ropes and goes for a kneedrop, but Dusty moves and lunges for the corner, tagging Cynric. Credible tries a right, but Cynric blocks and hits three rights of his own. He whips Credible into the corner and charges, hitting a clothesline. He waits for Credible to come out of the corner and tries a spinning heel kick. Credible ducks, but Cynric immediately spins and drops down, sweeping his legs. Credible gets up and Cynric tries a vertical suplex, but Credible escapes and hits a reverse DDT.

He rolls over and tags Eddie Guerrero, who charges in. Cynric hits a drop toehold and then whips Eddie into the ropes. He puts his head down, and Guerrero kicks him in the face. Eddie tries to lift him for a brainbuster, but Cynric blocks. Eddie knees Cynric in the face and lifts him, this time hitting the brainbuster. He covers for a two count. He picks Cynric up and whips him into the corner, but Cynric reverses. A split second after Guerrero crashes into the turnbuckles, Cynric follows up with a dropkick. Eddie staggers out and Cynric hits a belly-to-belly suplex. He tags Croooooow, who comes in and gives Eddie a flying headscissors. He runs to the apron and hits Richards, who drops down to the floor. Croooooow goes out after him, but Benoit, Credible and Awesome attack from behind. They throw him back in the ring, and Eddie tags in Chris Benoit. Benoit gives some kicks to Croooooow, who is slumped over in the corner. He picks Croooooow up and whips him into the ropes, charging and hitting a running reverse elbow. He tags in Richards, who stomps on Croooooow and then sets him up for a vertical suplex. He does the RTC hand motion and lifts him, but Croooooow escapes and pushes Richards into the ropes, executing a hurricanrana. Croooooow crawls to his corner and tags in Nykk, who comes in and clotheslines Richards. Richards gets up and Nykk clotheslines him again. He whips Richards into the corner and charges, ramming a knee into his midsection. He gives Richards a gutwrench suplex out of the corner, and Credible comes in. Nykk sees him and hits a running leg lariat. Eddie Guerrero comes in, but Nykk hits a swinging DDT. Richards lifts Nykk for a powerslam, but Nykk escapes and hits Crimson Moon on Richards. He covers, but Benoit comes in and drops an elbow on his head to break it up. Benoit illegally comes in and whips Nykk into the ropes, lifting him high in the air and letting him fall to the mat. He goes for the Crippler Crossface as the Pyro Twins come in. Nykk drops to one knee and refuses to go down. He shoves Benoit right into Final Darkness from the Pyro Twins. However, Mike Awesome takes both of them out with a double clothesline from the top rope. The ref makes Awesome get out of the ring as Richards sets up for a Steven Kick on Nykk. He kicks, but Nykk catches his foot, spins him around and hits Howling Moon I on him. Nykk tags Jay, who goes to the top rope. He hits a senton splash and covers, but Eddie comes in and pulls him off. Jay confronts Eddie, but Credible comes in and superkicks him from behind. Jay goes down and Richards tags Benoit. Benoit whips Jay into the ropes and goes for a back body drop, but Jay lands on his feet. However, Benoit turns around with a knife-edge chop and then hits a back suplex on Jay. He tags Awesome who comes in and executes a powerbomb on Jay. Awesome tags Eddie, and they whip Jay into the ropes, hitting a double back elbow. Eddie whips Jay into the rope and hits a standing enzugiri. He covers and gets a two count. Eddie runs over and clotheslines Nykk and Croooooow, prompting the PPV Squad to come in and distract the ref. All five members of the heel team take turns stomping on Jay and choking him in the corner.

Eddie tags Awesome who is on the top rope, and Awesome hits an Awesome Splash. He covers, and Jay barely kicks out. Awesome tags Credible and holds Jay in a front facelock. Credible kicks Jay in the ribs and tags Eddie. They whip Jay into the ropes and go for a double back body drop, but Jay kicks Credible in the face and dropkicks Eddie?s knee to send him down. He crawls to his corner as Credible distracts the ref, and tags Croooooow. He comes in, but the ref didn?t see it, and tells Croooooow to leave. Croooooow finally does, but Jay hits a drop toehold on Eddie and rolls over his body, making the tag to Nykk. Nykk comes in with furious right hands on Eddie, backing him into the corner. He whips him into the ropes, and Eddie tries a flying headscissors, but Nykk sits out and slams Guerrero's chest into the mat. He tries going for the Bellbrookville Cedarleaf, but Benoit comes in and clubs him from behind. All ten men get in the ring and start brawling, but not before Nykk tags Croooooow. They hit their spinebuster/reverse DDT combo on Eddie and Croooooow covers, but Credible and Richards break it up. Nykk takes Credible and Richards down with a double bulldog and Croooooow executes the Demon Driver on Richards. He covers, but the ref tells him he isn't the legal man. Before Croooooow can get up, Benoit comes down with a headbutt from the top rope, breaking up the pin. Croooooow rolls over and Eddie goes up top, hitting the frog splash. He covers and gets the three count.

Winners: Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Justin Credible, Mike Awesome and Steven Richards at 9:24

JR: What a hell of a main event, but the team of Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and the Extremists barely sneak in a pinfall on the PPV Squad.

King: The PPV Squad doesn't look so tough now, do they? I bet it'll be awhile before they show their faces again.

JR: I sincerely doubt that. Wait a minute!

Though the match was over, the brawling continues, and suddenly Cheesecake and Huh run out. They pull Eddie Guerrero off of Croooooow and throw him into the corner. Cheesecake bends over and Huh charges, launching himself off Cheesecake's back to hit an avalanche in the corner. Nykk clotheslines Steven Richards over the top rope, and Benoit, Awesome and Credible back up the ramp. The PPV Squad takes turns pummeling Guerrero, before Nykk takes him down and applies the Bellbrookville Cedarleaf. Benoit and the rest try to charge the ring, but can't get in through the wall of PPV Squad members. Eddie taps and screams in pain. Finally, Nykk releases him and Croooooow puts him in the Carrion Stretch. Eddie taps again, but is knocked out as Nykk dropkicks him in the face. The PPV Squad theme plays and they finally let Eddie go.

JR: The PPV Squad has just taken out Eddie Guerrero!

King: They can't do that! Eddie's team won the match fair and square!

JR: The PPV Squad is standing tall at the moment, but how will their opponents retaliate next week?
