Raw

INT. HALLWAY – NIGHT

Cynric is walking down the hallway when Christian intercepts him. Cynric moves to kick the crap out of him.

Christian: Not so fast. You want your buddy Huh back, right? Well, if you want him back then you must meet every one of our demands to the letter.

He hands a piece of paper to Cynric.

Christian: See that the rest of the PPV Squad sees this, or we’ll make sure that Huh never wrestles again.

They stare at each other for a moment, and then Christian walks away.

INT. BACKSTAGE – NIGHT

Shadow is doing some pre-match stretching when Stacy Keibler walks in.

Stacy: Well, if it isn’t my opponent for tonight… what was your name again? Oh yeah, Shadow. Just like the rest of your friends, you have to hide behind some kind of moniker instead of telling us your real name. That’s fine. I can see how someone as ugly as you would want to conceal herself from the world. And my God, are you almost an entire foot shorter than me?

Shadow: You came all the way back here just to insult me? You really are a clueless bitch, aren’t you? Do you realize the only success you ever had was when you were dry humping Vince McMahon every week? Because you sure can’t wrestle worth a damn. I was going to take it easy on you, but now I’m going to impale that mask of makeup you call a face on the end of my elbow, and you’ll see how it feels when a Shadow falls on you. See you out there.

She turns away, but Stacy spins her back around and slaps her across the face before storming off. Shadow holds her face but smiles.

INT. ARENA – NIGHT

MATCH: Shadow vs. Stacy Keibler

Stacy Keibler’s theme hits and she makes her way to the ring.

JR: We’re ready for the ladies to take over Raw right now, and here comes Stacy Keibler!

King: Whoo-hoo, Stacy! I hope she comes over here and gives a little striptease again, JR!

Shadow’s theme hits and she makes her way to the ring.

JR: Shadow looks determined to do a number on Stacy Keibler after the encounter they had earlier on.

King: I hope Shadow doesn’t rough Stacy up too much. It would be a shame if anything happened to that pretty face.

Shadow charges the ring and slides in. She ducks a clothesline from Stacy and bounces off the ropes, hitting a front dropkick as the bell rings.

FINISH: Shadow makes a comeback and hits Stacy with elbows. She bounces off the ropes and goes for the Interceptor, but Stacy ducks and kicks her in the midsection. She tries a vertical suplex, but Shadow escapes and executes an electric chair suplex. She goes to the top rope and does a corkscrew, nailing the Interceptor from the top rope. She covers and gets the three count.

Winner: Shadow at 3:05

JR: Shadow takes care of Stacy in fairly short order, and you have to believe that she’ll be keeping an eye on the Women’s Title match later on tonight.

King: Wait a minute, who’s this?

Molly Holly runs down to the ring and slides in, nailing Shadow from behind with a forearm. She crosses Shadow’s arms in front of her while Stacy gives her some kicks.

JR: This isn’t right. Molly Holly’s just paranoid because she has a big title defense later on, and this young lady would be next in line should she get by Trish.

Trish Stratus runs down to ringside and pulls Keibler away, giving her the Stratusfaction. Molly bails out of the ring and backs up the ramp.

JR: Thank goodness for Trish Stratus. Who knows what Molly and Stacy would have done to Shadow if she hadn’t been here.

Trish’s theme plays as she helps Shadow to her feet.

INT. PPV SQUAD LOCKER ROOM – NIGHT

Nykk and Croooooow are standing around.

Nykk: In the boiler room, maybe?

Croooooow: Nah, too obvious. Besides, who would be dwelling in a boiler room?

Nykk: In their hotel room?

Croooooow: It’s too far away.

Nykk: Parking garage?

Croooooow: The Pyro Twins checked it.

Nykk: Dammit, where could they be keeping Huh?

Cynric comes into the locker room and hands Nykk the piece of paper Christian gave him.

Cynric: I ran into Christian in the hallway, and he told me to give you this.

Nykk: It’s the UnAmericans’ demands. It says, ‘If you want the safe return of your friend, first you must meet these demands. First, Nykk’s match with Test for the Intercontinental Title tonight must be made no holds barred, and Nykk is not allowed to pin Test, he must make him submit. Second, if somehow Nykk does get past Test tonight, he must give William Regal a title shot at No Mercy. Third, all PPV Squad members must wear UnAmericans t-shirts during their matches until Lance Storm and Christian lose the tag team titles. You’d best obey these demands if you wish for Huh’s continued health.’

Croooooow: So what are we going to do? Are you going to wrestle Test no holds barred?

Nykk: Look, ol’ Bucktooth can have any kind of match he wants with me, I don’t care. And as far as William Regal goes, I would love the opportunity to beat more UnAmerican ass, and if I have to put my title on the line, so be it. What do you guys think about the t-shirt thing? Do we really want Huh back that bad?

Croooooow: (shrugs) It’s just a t-shirt. Anyway, Huh’s our friend and a member of the PPV Squad. Nobody crosses us unless they’re ready for group retaliation, remember?

Before Nykk can answer, Trish Stratus walks in with Shadow.

Nykk: Hey! What’s going on?

Shadow: I just got my ass kicked by Molly Holly and freakin’ Stacy Keibler, that’s what’s going on.

Trish: We came back here to get some ice packs, but I need to get going.

Nykk: Why? You just got here. You can help us track down the UnAmericans.

Trish: Haven’t you heard? I’ve got a Women’s Title match tonight. I need to prepare. Although…

She puts her arms around Nykk’s waist.

Trish: I really could use some help.

Nykk: Croooooow, Cynric, do you two think you could take care of things for awhile while I help Trish… prepare?

Croooooow: Sure.

Cynric: Go ahead.

Nykk: Thanks.

He and Trish leave the locker room.

Shadow: What have you guys been doing?

Cynric: Going over the demands of the UnAmericans.

Croooooow: They want us to wear UnAmerican t-shirts during our matches.

Cynric: Don’t worry. We have a team of detectives on the case. They’ll find Huh if anyone can.

Croooooow: Who?

INT. BACKSTAGE – NIGHT

Booker T is pacing when Cheesecake walks on camera.

Booker: Man, where the hell have you been? You and that big gold freak have been gone for hours! Did you find H-Dawg or what?

Cheesecake: Pa’th’ience, Booker, pa’th’ience. The’th’e thing’th take time. Goldu’th’t and I were merely at the th’tore buying appropriate attire for our th’earch.

Goldust walks on camera in a Sherlock Holmes outfit, and is holding a magnifying glass.

Booker: Oh, so you’re a big detective now? I suppose you have some foolproof plan to find H-Dawg.

Goldust: Elementary, my dear Booker. My hours of patience and my powers of deduction have concluded that the UnAmericans are indeed somewhere in this arena.

Booker: Well, there you go. We go find those UnAmericans’ punk asses and lay a major beatdown on them! Let’s go!

Goldust: Wait, it might be dangerous… please, take myself and Cheesecake with you, so that we may stand behind you at all times and supply the… manpower.

Booker: Man, stop saying creepy things like that. The only thing I’m concerned about is those UnAmericans, and when we find them, we’re going to lay a major beatdown like only a five time, five time, five time, five time, five time WCW Champion and two flunkies can give! Now can you dig that… suckaaaaaaaa!

Booker walks off camera.

Cheesecake: Come on, Goldu’th’t. I get the feeling that tonight, th’omeone’th going down, and though flunkies we be, for once it’th not going to be u’th!

INT. ARENA – NIGHT

MATCH: Nykk vs. Test

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

JR: We all know what sickening individuals the UnAmericans are, but I can’t believe they’d actually abduct a member of the PPV Squad and use that in order to stack their odds in their favor.

King: Yeah, this match has been made no holds barred, and the only way Nykk can win is to make Test submit. He can’t pin him.

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

JR: As you can see, Nykk is wearing an UnAmerican t-shirt, which was one of the demands for the release of Huh. PPV Squad members have to wear UnAmerican shirts until Lance Storm and Christian lose the tag team titles.

King: He might not be too happy about it, but he’s been in the back “preparing” with Trish! That’ll make anyone happy.

FINISH: Test brings a table into the ring and sets it up. He lifts Nykk for a pumphandle powerslam, but Nykk escapes and rolls Test up for a two count. Test follows up with a clothesline and then tries a gutwrench powerbomb through the table. However, Nykk counters into a hurricanrana. He makes a comeback and hits Crimson Moon and covers, but the ref reminds him he can’t pin Test. William Regal runs down with the brass knuckles and knocks out Nykk with them. He tells Test to put Nykk on the table. Croooooow runs in through the crowd and stands behind Regal. Regal turns around and walks right into the Demon Driver as Test lays Nykk across the table. Test goes to the second turnbuckle, but Croooooow grabs a chair and nails Test in the head as he’s climbing. Croooooow gets on the apron and pushes him, and Test falls backwards as Nykk rolls off the table and Test goes through it. Croooooow helps Nykk to his feet and then goes outside to fight with Regal some more. Nykk applies the Cedarleaf on Test, and he taps out.

Winner: Nykk at 6:35

JR: Nykk is still the Intercontinental Champion, thanks to a timely intervention by Croooooow!

Nykk gets his belt and he and Croooooow walk up the ramp.

King: Look at Test. He’s incensed!

Test kicks pieces of the table out of the ring in frustration and then yells at Croooooow, telling him to come back to the ring.

INT. ARENA – NIGHT

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

JR: Here come three members of the PPV Squad. Nykk, Croooooow and Cynric are on their way to the ring and we weren’t scheduled to have them out here.

King: They don’t look too happy, JR.

JR: Well, we’re approaching the end of the program and Huh still hasn’t been returned to them.

Nykk grabs a mic.

Nykk: All right. UnAmericans, bring Huh out here now. All your demands have been met. We’ll wear UnAmerican shirts during our matches. The demands about my title defense against Test were met, and Regal has his shot at No Mercy. Get your asses out here and bring Huh with you!

The UnAmericans’ theme hits and Lance Storm, Christian, William Regal and Test come out on the stage. Christian is dragging Huh, whose hands are bound behind his back with a rope. Storm has a mic.

Storm: Before we start, we do have one more demand for tonight.

He hands the mic to Test.

Test: Croooooow… you cost me the WWE Intercontinental Title, you son of a bitch! I want my revenge. I want you in a match at No Mercy!

Up in the ring, Croooooow nods his assent. On the ramp, Test hands the mic back to Storm.

JR: How about that? Croooooow vs. Test at No Mercy, along with Nykk vs. William Regal for the Intercontinental Title!

Nykk: Okay, you have what you wanted. Now let Huh go!

Storm: No, Nykk, you’re just as gullible as the rest of these Americans here. All our demands have not been met, because we haven’t yet revealed all our demands. I just want you to take a look at your friend so that you can see we are treating him fair and keeping him safe. But as far as tonight goes, we are not releasing him!

Up in the ring, Nykk smiles.

Nykk: I had a feeling you might say that.

On the stage, the Pyro Twins suddenly attack the UnAmericans from both sides. Dusty hammers Storm while Jay dukes it out with Regal. Nykk, Croooooow and Cynric charge up the ramp and take on Test and Christian, while Huh cheers them on.

JR: It’s an all out war between the PPV Squad and the UnAmericans!

Test manages to forearm Nykk away and nails Cynric with the big boot. Storm manages to superkick Dusty and tells Test to take Huh. Test scoops up Huh and throws him over his shoulder, hightailing it back through the curtain.

JR: Test is taking Huh and running!

King: And we’ve still got a brawl going on up here!

INT. BACKSTAGE – NIGHT

Test is running with Huh over his shoulder, and Huh’s screaming bloody murder. Suddenly, Test comes upon Cheesecake, Booker T and Goldust. Cheesecake charges, but gets a big boot from Test. Goldust and Booker attack Test, but the rest of the UnAmericans arrive and brawl with them. Nykk, Croooooow and Jay arrive moments later, and Test manages to escape in the confusion.

JR: Where the hell’s he taking him, King?

Test reaches an exit and kicks the door open.

EXT. STREET – NIGHT

A car is waiting for Test, already started. Test opens the back door and throws Huh inside and then gets in and drives away.

King: Test got away, JR!

JR: Of all the bizarre roads this feud has gone down, I think the UnAmericans and the PPV Squad are now on a collision course on the Highway to Hell!

Heat

MATCH: Croooooow and Cynric vs. Justin Credible and Steven Richards

Croooooow and Cynric win after Cynric hits the Lift Off on Richards.
