Edition #	Main Event	Star of the Week	On The Road To
Number Three [#3]	U.S. Title Fatal Four Way	- - - - -	World War 3

THE HEAT OF CONFLICT ... One week away, ladies and gentlemen. One week away from the true arrival of Pro Wrestling Redefined. World War 3 vastly approaches, and thus tonight marks the last stop on the road to the crowning of the first ever PWR Heavyweight Champion. However tonight, a champion of a different kind is to be crowned for the first time. That champion is the U.S. Champion. Four men waging war to take what in their minds, has been rightfully theirs from the very beginning. Simon Dean .. Christian .. Chris Jericho .. and the deranged son of a bitch that goes by the name of Mankind. Also, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Bret ' The Hitman ' Hart's second confrontation is fastly coming up, who will walk out with the last word before the pay per view tonight between the two? What will the situation between Triple H and Randy Orton be tonight?! Who in the hell knows? We'll find out in due time ...

# REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK #

And so opens Conflict signifying the arrival of the Excellence of Execution, Bret Hart! The arena is besides itself, not a single ass on their seat, all just to behold the presence of The Hitman. Bret makes his way out from behind the black curtain and towards the ring, calm and collected as usual. He extends his hand to tag a few fans' hands on the way down the ramp, yet doesn't turn his head in their direction - it's focused, dead set on that squared circle.

Jim Ross: AND THERE HE IS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE EXCELLENCE OF EXECUTION, BRET HART! Boy oh BOY what a way to kick off Conflict, King.

The King: I wonder if he's out here to read off his last will and testament in advance before Stone Cold Steve Austin stomps a MUDHOLE in 'em at World War 3! Haha!

Bret climbs into the ring through the middle ropes and demands a microphone. He paces back and fourth in the middle of the ring furiously before raising his voice.

Bret Hart: Stone Cold Steve Austin ... last week you had the nerve .. the audacity ... the gall to try to steal my proverbial thunder by staring me down, challenging me to a "fight" ... and when I didn't allow that to happen, you got upset .. you snapped, Steve. You were mad at me. You were mad at the world. You were PISSED OFF that at World War 3 you're ging to be forced to WRESTLE me. You're going to be forced to COMPETE .. with me. And Steve ... we all remember what happened the last time you tried to wrestle me - you lost ... badly!

The fans boo loudly.

Bret Hart: I'm looking forward to it, Steve. Immensely. I can't wait for the chance to make you scream .. to make you SQUEAL like the pig you really are. I highly anticipate the --!

What's this? "Cold" by Crossfade echos throughout the arena .... and it's Raven! Raven makes his way down the ramp, but stays out of the ring, with a microphone already in hand.

Raven: Anticipation ... it's such a funny word isn't it Bret? Has it any real meaning? Is it not a facet for an impatient child, unbeknownst to the cold reality of what awaits him? You know not what you anticipate Bret Hart. No one does. For as eager as you are for what you believe you're soon to receive, a whole 'nother consequence than the one you .. "anticipate" .. could be just as easily attained.

The Fans listen in deep, and interested, as Raven continues.

Raven: World War 3 has a new target date so I've heard. October 31st - Halloween - the night of that in which the witches and demons of the underworld roam free amongst the earth. Do not mistake it Bret Hart ... I will be the leader of the pac come that fateful night. Bret Hart ... when Steve Austin is done with you -- I intend on capitalizing on your rotting corpse. WhyA? I can no longer stand your imputant babbling. It drives me far beyond that of the brink of insanity. I believe it's but a matter of time until you see this light for yourself, and when it hits .. you won't have a clue as to what to think, will you Bret? You won't even ..

Bret Hart: Hey, why don't you do both myself and this entire damn arena a favor - and shut your mouth? Nobody wants to hear your inane squawking, because frankly -- nobody cares. Nobody could give a damn about you Raven - you're afraid to be a man .. you're afraid to be yourself. That is exactly why you run around, week in and week out, blaming everyone but YOURSELF for your faults in life. Well the line is drawn with Bret Hart. You won't blame for a damn thing, I won't tolerate it. If you've got a problem with that ... hell, I know I've got a match later tonight , but I still haven't a problem with settling the score with you .. right here, right now, in this .. very .. ring.

Bret Hart is once again, inturrupted, this time by the CHAIRMAN!? SHANE MCMAHON!? With a grin across his face, Shane confidently walks out to the top of the ramp with a microphone of his own in hand.

Shane McMahon: Whoa, whoa, WHOA fellas! A little hot under the collar are we? I don't know what you two's dilemma may be, but let's make some use out of it, eh? What do you say .. to the first event after World War 3, seeing as our good friend Bret here is previously engaged in a match with Stone Cold Steve Austin .. we have ourselves a little showdown between the Bird of Prey and The Hitman, huh?! I like that idea quite a bit. In fact, it's such a good match .. I say we add a little something to it. Up the anti if you will. But I'm gonna need some time, see. I need a little bit of time to ponder these things .. so I'll let you boys know of your match's stipulation .. oh, say the night of the pay per view? Yeah, that sounds good. Gives ya plenty of time to prepare I'd say. Hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am boys, haha.

Shane McMahon receives a massive ovation as his music hits the PA System. With that wide, cocky smirk across his face - Shane McMahon makes his way backstage as the scene fades to a commercial break.

John Cena Vs. AJ Styles

#YOU ARE .. YOU ARE .. I AM .. I AM# AJ Styles paces out from the back, taunting the fans on his way. Styles stops on the ramp before running and sliding into the ring as Vince Russo slowly walks down the aisle, applauding his client. Then, Basic Thuganomics hits and John Cena makes his way out from the back. Cena stops on the ramp, clutching the chain which hangs around his neck and begins to speak having raised the microphone which he held up to his mouth.

John Cena: Yo yo yo .. LEMME' HEAR YA' MAKE SOME NOOOISEEE!

Ya' see people, 'dat AJ Styles .. He ain't right
In fact, he envies JC and der's nothin' wrong with that
Only 'da fact 'dat AJ is a little fag fanboy .. Man, 'dat's WHACK!
I mean, AJ Styles .. He likes ta' talk 'da smack
But it don't matter, 'cause Johnny C's gonna' get his own BACK
I mean, AJ Styles is nothin' but a little punk
Hey, I hear I likes ta' swallow a fair bit o' spun--

Suddenly, AJ cuts Cena off with a big Spinning kick to the jaw on the ramp! AJ came flying off the top rope and connected with a kick on Cena! The match then ensues. It really begins to heat up and the pace gets faster when Cena connects with the Five Knuckle Shuffle in the centre of the ring. Cena then drags AJ up and goes for the FU, but AJ drops down behind Cena, turns around and plants him with a huge German Suplex, into the bridge; ..1....2..., kick out. Both men return to their feet and square off, with the fans firmly behind Cena. Cena misses with a clothesline and runs straight into a drop toe hold from AJ! AJ then grabs Cena's legs and steps over .. STYLES CLASH! Styles quickly covers; ...1...2....3! AJ picks up the "W".
Winner: AJ Styles

The scene opens up in the back where Trish and Christian are awaiting an interview from Michael Cole.

Michael Cole: Christian last week you and Trish came up short only by a tie how do you feel this week competing for the United States Championship?

Christian: Look Cole there isn't nothing like gold on your shoulder! Last week when I stepped in the ring with CHRIS JERICHO I had him beat! I had Jericho beat! But what happens? I WAS SCREWED! IT WAS A DRAW! It's not acceptable!

Trish lowers the microphone.

Trish: Cole it wasn't only acceptable for him, it wasn't acceptable for me! You see he didn't get what he wanted last week which was well.. The win over Jericho, and he didn't get me! So When I and captian charisma step into that ring tonight.. heh well, you can bet that I'll be on my knees tonight!

Christian: DAMN RIGHT TRISH, DAMN RIGHT!

Just then Chris Jericho rushes in from behind with a steel chair in hand. He connects to the skull of Christian. Trish backs away slowly and runs off. Jericho continues the attack driving the chair down on the ribs of Christian. Chris Jericho grabs the microphone...

Chris Jericho: You and Trash Stratus want to talk huh? Well THE LIVIN' LEGEND showed you what it takes, what it takes to be in the business! Chris Jericho's business!

Jericho pushes Michael Cole down to the floor and walks away.

The Undertaker Vs. Bret Hart

Bret "The Hitman" Hart and the "Immortal" Undertaker square off one more time, the first time in years. Hart's technical supremacy takes control from the start, as "The Hitman" manages to keep the big-man off his feet. Hart looks to end it early with the Sharpshooter, but Taker kicks his Canadian opponent away. Taker then climbs to his feet and delivers a series of hard soupe bones to his opponent. Hart rallies back with a low blow, very un-technical. he then takes Taker down with a drop toe hold and begins to work on Taker's legs - showing some great psychology. Hart slaps a Figure Four Leg Lock in on Taker, working down his legs - but Taker turns over and applies the pressure on Hart! Hart begins to scream in agony but manages to reach the ropes. The two men then untie each other and the match continues. Taker takes control with a running DDT, having kicked Hart in the face beforehand. He only gets the two count on the resulting cover, though. Taker reaches down and pulls Hart up via his throat - going for the Chokeslam, but Hart escapes with a sneaky kick to the gut. He then takes Taker down with a DDT. Hart looks down at Taker, spreads his legs and steps through .. SHARPSHOOTER! HART LOCKS TAKER IN THE SHARPSHOOTER! Taker has no choice and eventually slaps the mat three times, giving Hart an impressive submission victory; proving that he is indeed the superior of the two legends.
Winner: Bret Hart

The scene opens up backstage where a line of beautiful lady's are standing a line toward the camera. Carlito Cool walks in from the door he looks at the women then looks at the camera and winks.

Carlito: Mang, this is some fine womang. Carlito thinks this is cool.. Carlito think this is too cool. But you wanna knows something, when Carlito speaks.. Carlito says you listen! If you don't listen to Carlito.. Dat aint cool mang, aint cool at all. Carlito .. Carlito spits in the faces of the people dat arent cool.

Carlito: You see this apple? This apple is red mang. You wanna know somethin' else? Carlito spits in the faces of people dat arent cool.

CC takes a bite out of the apple and spits it in a face of one of the girls.

Carlito takes a bite out of his apple and the scene fades.

The cameras are on and Josh Matthews is in the backstage area and he is standing with a mic in his hand as Road Dogg is seen standing beside him and Josh starts to talk.

Josh Matthews: Welcome back ladies and gentlemen... I�m here with the Road Dogg Jesse James, who is making his PWR debut tonight against The Fallen Angel, Christopher Daniels, how are you Jesse?.

Road Dogg: I�m just fine� I�m pumped up because I�m getting back in that ring tonight, and I get to have a little revenge for what Christy Hemme did to me last week...

Josh Matthews: Well I�m sure that wasn�t the best thing that could happened.. But how does it feel to be back in the business and knowing that you�ll be going out there every week to that ring?...

Road Dogg: I can�t describe it Josh� I mean I have accomplished a lot of things before in my career and I�m looking to do even more here... In fact, at World War 3 we will see the crowning of a World Champion and that World Champion is ME!!!...

Josh Matthews: It�s definitely going to be the greatest event ever constructed in the wrestling business and you get to be a part of it.. This is your ultimate goal, how important is it for you to win that belt?.

Road Dogg: It�s the most important thing in the world to me Josh� I finally get a chance to really prove myself and after I beat Christopher Daniels sorry ass tonight, I�ll be heading into World War 3 with all the momentum and I�ll be kickin� ass and takin� names all over those rings�.

Josh Matthews: Well Jesse, do you have any words right now for Christy Hemme and Christopher Daniels before you head out there, or the entire roster for that matter?....

Road Dogg: I sure do� Tonight Daniels is going to pay for what his little slut did to me last week� I don�t put up with crap from anybody and Christopher Daniels will be lucky if he even makes it to World War 3� As far as everybody else goes� There is a new sheriff in town and at World War 3 I�m going to make history as I am going to be the first man in history to ever win a battle royal of that sort� I�m out�.

Josh Matthews: Thank you Jesse, and good luck in your match tonight�.

Road Dogg walks off as Josh Matthews stands there with the microphone and the camera cuts away..

Road Dogg Vs. Christopher Daniels

A good match up, with both men using the leash which combines them to their advantage. Road Dogg almost wins early with the Shake Rattle and Roll but Daniels kicks out on two. Daniels battles back and almost gets the fall with a swinging DDT, but Road Dogg kicks out again. Daniels then chokes out his opponent for a few moments before connecting with a neckbreaker, which also gets the two. This one is really close. Daniels lifts Road Dogg up again and sets Road Dogg up for a "pedigree". He lifts Road Dogg up into the air, perhaps looking for the Angels Wings but Road Dogg drops back down and counters with a massive back body drop! Daniels hits the mat and climbs back up to his feet clutching his lower back in agony. Road Dogg drags his opponent in, using the leash, and lifts him up .. PUMPHANDLE DROP! Road Dogg covers; ...1...2...3!
Winner: Road Dogg

A long stretched black limo pulls up into the parking lot as the driver jumps out and opens the door Scott Hall steps out tooth pic in mouth and begins to talk.

Scott Hall: Well well if it isn't da bad guy live and in livin' color! Steve da bad guy is here haha. I looked everywhere for STEVE but he was no where to be found..

You gotta pay the price! Da bad guy ain't stoppin now! Cuz' Steve tonight my old friend.. Da bad guy says it's all gonna be OVER!!

Hall walks off into the arena backstage.

Raven Vs. Brian Christopher

The match gets underway and things are even, with both men having their fair share of offence. Christopher takes Raven down with a Superkick and goes up top to finish things off with the "Hip Hop Drop" but Raven rolls out of the way and Christopher hits the mat. Christopher climbs up to his feet, clutching his lower back and gets drilled with the Evenflow DDT! Raven has this one won! Raven covers .. WAIT! JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER HOPS UP ONTO THE RING APRON! THE MEMPHIS KING DISTRACTS THE REFEREE! Raven gets up looking pissed off. He grabs King by the throat and throws him into the ring. King climbs to his feet and Raven sets him up for the Evenflow DDT, and connects! RAVEN JUST DRILLED THE KING WITH THE EVENFLOW DDT! BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY! Christopher capitalises with a huge bulldog on Raven! He then goes up onto the top rope .. Wait .. What the .. Christopher stops in his tracks as his jaw seemingly drops, he lays eyes on his former partner .. SCOTT TAYLOR .. Who slowly walks down to the ring with a gothic look to him. He doesn't look his usual fun self. Christopher climbs off the top rope as Taylor climbs onto the apron. Christopher begins to speak to Taylor, but Raven's new lackey just shakes his head and snaps Christopher's neck down onto the ropes! Christopher bounces back .. EVENFLOW DDT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Christopher bounces off the mat and Raven covers; ...1...2....3! Raven has done it!
Winner: Raven

Mankind: Here I am. Here I am. Sitting alone in a dark room. The pain I'm about to give out is injustible to my CHARACTER! I just want to be accepted.. I just want to be accepted in this world. But do I get that? Does Mankind get the respect he derserves? NO! NO NO NO! I HATE THIS, I HATE YOU, but I do love pain. Pain is my escape from reality. Pain is my escape from whats to come from what i'm about to do tonight. First night I showed you my escape. Tonight I'LL SHOW YOU MY RUN AWAY SEQUENCE!

Mankind begins to pull out the hair that he has left.

Mankind: The patches on my head on only inferier of what I'm going to do tonight. TEXAS DEATH MATCHES have nothing on I! It's my time to have the run away sequence in society.. It's Mrs. Foley's baby boy time to claim what's rightfully his! Tonight I'll be declaired United States Champion of the world! Tonight I'll show you why I'm happy.. Why I'm happy INFLICTING PAIN INTO INNOCENT SOULS AS CHRIS JERICHO!

He begins to stab himself with a metallic object in the leg.

Mankind: When the blood arives from the skin I become happy.. I become joyful among other reasons. I've earned my name through the years. I've earned my rep. I've earned my will. Most certainly I've earned THAT CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE TONIGHT! I'll escape from society and inflict pain on what ever or whom ever gets in my way!

Scene fades to another part of the arena ...

Stone Cold Steve Austin Vs. Scott Hall

We join the action and guess what? It's a brawl, a complete and utter brawl. Austin and Hall slug it out in the centre of the ring. Hall takes control with a knee to the mid-section and the 'Bionic Redneck' doubles over. The Lone Wolf then takes Austin down with an hard club to the back. Hall keeps on top of the action, continuing the assault on the Rattlesnake - who doesn't look as though he's going to strike. Then, Hall pulls Austin up and sends him into the ropes with an Irish Whip but Austin comes right back with a Loue Thesz Press! He then begins to pound away on Scott Hall! Austin rags Hall back up to his feet and gives him the middle finger. He then lifts him up and slams him down with an hard scoop slam. Austin then goes into the ropes and drops an elbow down onto the throat of Hall! Austin is on fire! Austin pulls Hall back up and kicks him in the gut, he's looking for the Stunner but Hall pushes him away! Austin hits the ropes and comes flying back. Hall kicks him in the gut .. 'HALL COLD STUNNER'! Scott Hall with a Stunner of his own to The Rattlesnake! Hall quickly goes for the cover; ...1...2.., NO! Austin kicks out! He kicks out! Hall cannot believe it! He CANNOT believe that Austin kicked out of the Stunner! Hall drags Austin up. Austin suddenly stands up and kicks Hall in the gut .. STONE COLD STUNNER! STONE COLD STUNNER TO HALL! Hall dramatically flies across the ring and JR screams about the impact! Austin quickly rolls over Hall and goes for the cover; ...1....2......3! AUSTIN'S GOT IT! THE RATTLESNAKE HAS DONE IT.. WAIT.. WAIT! The referee points to Hall's foot, it was on the ropes! It was on the ropes! Austin turns around and begins to argue with the referee .. Wait .. LOW BLOW FROM HALL! ROLL UP .. HE'S GOT A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS; ...1...2....3! Hall steals it!
Winner: Scott Hall

The scene opens up in the locker room of Triple H and Ric Flair. Flair is ready to go for his match up as Triple H is standing behind him rubbing his shoulders and talking to him after hearing the big news of the potential World War 3 match up between Orton and Triple H. Triple H is speaking in the ear of Ric Flair.

Triple H: You�ve got this one Natch� There is no way in hell that you are going to let Randy Orton beat you tonight� You are a legend and you are going to prove that Randy Orton is no legend killer�

Ric Flair: I�ve got it man. I mean come on Randy Orton? I was wrestling before that kid was born, haha� I�m not worried about losing to him, I�m am the NAAAAAAATURE BOY and he is nothing but a little punk�

Triple H: Hahaha, that�s what I like to hear from your mouth Ric� Orton is a nobody, you are going to prove it in front of all these worthless fans here tonight� Nobody can beat the Nature Boy Ric Flair, especially Randy Orton� Now show em� why�

Ric Flair: I�ve got this baby, I�ve got this one� There ain�t no way in hell that I�m going to lose to Randy Orton� That young punk is going to find out just why they call me the dirtiest player in the game, haha� Tonight, Randy Orton is going to see why I am a legend and why he will NEVER be�. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO�

Triple H: Hahahahaha�. Come on Natch, let�s get out of here� Orton is never getting what he wants as long as we stand in his way and that means he won�t get to face me at World War 3, heh heh�

Triple H and Ric Flair open their locker room door and head down the hallway for the match against Randy Orton as the scene ends and the cameras cut away.

Sid Vicious Vs. Jeff Hardy

Sid Vicious is absolutely pummelling away on Jeff Hardy in the corner. Sid steps back and mouths the word "PANCAKES!" at the top of his face to the bemusement of the fans in attendance. Sid then turns back to Hardy and receives a front dropkick! Sid goes flying into the ropes. He then turns and gets a kick to the gut from Jeff. Jeff then goes for the Twist of Fate, but Sid lifts him up and plants him with a huge Spinning-Out Powerbomb! Jeff bounces off the mat and Sid covers; ...1...2.., kick out. Sid pulls Jeff up via the hair and sets him up for a Chokeslam, but Jeff fights out with a kick to the gut. Then, Jeff connects with the Twist of Fate from out of nowhere; sending Sid crashing down to the mat face first! Oh my god, David could have Goliath down! Jeff goes up onto the top rope and poses before flying with the Swanton Bomb, but Sid rolls out of the way and Jeff hits the mat! He hit the referee on the way down and knocked him down! Sid climbs to his feet and pulls Jeff up ... Wait, here comes Matt Hardy! Matt grabs a chair from ringside, he's coming ta' get'cha SEEED! Sid looks around as Matt climbs into the ring. Matt swings .. WHAM! CHAIR SHOT TO THE SKULL OF SID VICIOUS! Sid goes down like a tonne of bricks! Matt disposes of the chair and of himself, as he quickly leaves the ring having helped out his brother. Jeff climbs to his feet and goes up onto the top rope .. SWANTON BOMB! Jeff connected with the Swanton! He covers as the referee slowly awakens; ...1...2....3! David has slain Goliath!
Winner: Jeff Hardy

Jeff climbs up to his feet, using the ropes, with a look of absolute amazement on his face. He turns around as the fans chant his name loudly .. Then .. AJ Styles strikes. Styles hits Jeff with a barrage of rights and lefts to the face, backing the exhausted extremist back into the corner. AJ takes Jeff down with a Tornado DDT and then goes up onto the top rope and poses before leaping off with a huge Shooting Star Press! Jeff rolls around the ring, clutching his ribs in agony as Styles poses above him; absorbing the fans' jeers. Then, to add insult to injury, AJ SPITS on the co-X Champion! Can you believe the audacity of that man?! AJ calls for a microphone and gets what he wishes for.

AJ Styles: Ya' know what, Jeff? There's only tha' place for ONE X-Champion here in PWR .. 'N that champion? That champion is gon' be me .. De' Phenomal .. AY .. JAY .. STAYLES! You see Jeff, I had that title won unteel' the bell rung 'n Shane McMahon screwed me outta' tha' victory .. But there's one redeemin' factor in all this 'n Shane's screwjob; I getta' make you suffer, son. Ya' see, at World War 3 .. It'll be Me 'n you .. One - on - One .. In a LADDER MATCH! How'd ya' like that, huh? There'll be one X Champion afta' World War 3 .. And that'll be ME .. THE PHENOMENAL ONE!

AJ's music hits as we go elsewhere.

The camera cuts backstage. We've just witnessed one hell of a hard fought battle between Sid Vicious and Jeff Hardy. The camera pans around to reveal Sid Vicious. Sid looks frustrated, pacing around the locker room with a look of anger on his face. The camera cuts around to reveal none other than Bill Goldberg standing by with annoying PWR reporter, Michael Cole.

Bill Goldberg: You see Michael, Chris Benoit .. He got lucky. Hella' lucky earlier on tonight. But'cha know what? Luck is NOTHING. Chris Benoit outmatched me, I admit .. But he still had luck on his side, but luck ain't happening anymore. From this moment on, I, Bill Goldberg, am going on a rampage. I'm RE-LIVING, RE-STARTING .. THE STREAK! Where I went a damn long time without losing, and I don't plan to lose again anytime soon .. and the next sonuva' BITCH who wants ta' step in my way? They'll fear .. The .. Sp--

Suddenly, none other than Sid Vicious interrupts 'Da Man'.

Sid Vicious: Ou' seen 'dum pancakes?

Bill Goldberg: Huh?

Sid Vicious: I SAY YOU SEEN 'DEM PANCAKES! DUN'T IGNORE 'DAT MONSTA' SEEED! IF YER' DO, I'LL GET'CHA! SEEDNEY 'ILL GET'CHA!

Goldberg looks confused.

Sid Vicious: So.. You got 'dem pancakes?

Sid is absolutely insane. Goldberg gets in Sid's face, displaying both guts and intensity.

Bill Goldberg: Have you lost YOUR MIND? You come here, interrupt my interview, and have the audacity to talk about .. PANCAKES?! Sid Vicious, I don't know what's gotten into you - but you ain't been too smart. You're interruptin' .. 'DA MAN .. GOOOLDBERG .. The Hype.

Suddenly, Goldberg strikes Sid down with a huge SPEAR! Oh my god! Sid is down and out! He lays against the wall clutching his mid-section. Goldberg just get up, like the animal he is, and shows no remorse. He casually walks away from the scene of the crime as Cole waves EMT's to Sid.

The show comes back with the camera in Shane McMahon�s office as he steps into view and sits at his chair and then he smiles and begins to speak into the camera.

Shane McMahon: Hello ladies and gentlemen� I hope you�re enjoying your night because I�m about to make it better� Tonight there is a match between the Legendary Ric Flair and none other than the Legend Killer Randy Orton� But I just decided that there is something else we need to make this match a little more interesting� We all know that at World War 3 there will be a three ring battle royal to determine the World heavyweight Champion� But I�m going to make a potential match up right now� If Randy Orton can beat Ric Flair tonight in that very ring, then I will give him the match that he wants, and that is Triple H one on one at World War 3� You heard it here folks. Randy Orton just may get what he wants if he can step up and be what he says he is, a legend killer� Enjoy the rest of your evening� Oh, and as far as The Corporate Champion The ROCK is concerned ... well, consider yourself in line for a corporate ass kickin' later on tonight my friend!

The camera pulls away from Shane McMahon as he continues to work on something at his desk and the scene ends.

Randy Orton Vs. Ric Flair

'Big Naitch' and the 'Legend Killer' square off. A real back and forth match up, with several near falls at both ends. Flair uses his underhand tactics and takes control with a thumb to the eye and a low blow. Naitch then knocks Orton down with a clothesline and quickly applies the Figure Four Leg Lock. However, fortunes are reversed as Orton turns over - applying the pressure on Flair. Flair screams, but the tradesman knows his craft and quickly counters the hold. Orton screams in agony and reaches out, grabbing the ropes and forcing Flair to release the hold. The two men square off again, now brawling. Orton goes up top and misses with a O-Zone Crossbody, Orton hits the mat and lays flat, motionless. Flair then goes up top, very uncharacteristically. Orton leaps to his feet and grabs Flair via the head .. RKO FROM THE TOP ROPE! Orton covers and the three count is academic.
Winner: Randy Orton

We come back from a commercial break and The Great One himself is seen standing in the middle of the ring, awaiting his opponent for the evening Shane McMahon. As usual, Test and Vince McMahon are seen in The Rock's corner. They continue waiting, but nothing. Shane has disappeared so it would seem? After a while, Vince gets fed up and takes hold of a microphone ...

Vince McMahon: DAMN'T! I've waited & waited, and I'm not gonna WAIT ANYMORE! Shane, you got yourself into this, now come and face the music like the man I THOUGHT I taught you to be! I --

The Rock interupts McMahon, snatching the microphone out of his hand.

The Rock: ... uh-uh. No. Did The Rock say you could talk for him?

Vince McMahon: Well no Rock you d--

The Rock: SHUT .. your mouth. Shane ... get your candy ass out here, jabroni ... and The Rock meeeeeans .. now.

"HERE COMES THE MONAAAAAAAAY!" ... finally perhaps?! The music of Shane McMahon sounds throughout the arena .. but Shane shows up on the titan tron in his office. He's not even dressed for combat! He simply has that smug look on his face.

Shane McMahon: Ah, pops, pops, pops. Always were one to get riled up, eh? See, I'm not gonna come out there and take you on Rock .. Nah, that never was the plan. Instead what we're gonna do tonight is, well, yeah, we'll give you a match alright ... but no, it won't be against me. Rather, it'll be a warmup for your match at World War 3.

The Rock looks on, a very confused Rock at that.

Shane McMahon: See ... There's someone out there Rock that has quite a score to settle with you. That man is a man on a mission ... That man is a man you have abused as a friend, time and tiem again ... and damnit, he isn't gonna take it anymore! He's out with one thing on his mind; vengeance ... he's ... well hell, he's right behind you.

Rock turns around only to be greeted by ... MANKIND! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY IT'S MANKIND! ROCK AND VINCE BOTH LOOK LIKE THEY'VE JUST SEEN A GHOST! Test charges the deranged soul only to have his big boot dodged followed up by .. THE MANDIBLE CLAW~~~! ROCK AND VINCE BOTH HIGH TAIL IT - THEY WANT NO PIECE OF MANKIND! Shane is seen, smiling on the titan tron ..

Shane McMahon: Heh, what's the matter Rock? Scared of a little competition? That's so uncharacteristic of you. Now Rock, sit back, grab a snack and watch Mankind here win the PWR United States CHAMPIONSHIP! Hahaha ...

Scene cuts to a commercial - Rock still in shock.

United States Championship
Simon Dean Vs. Christian Vs. Chris Jericho Vs. Mankind

We join the match with all four men slugging it out in the middle of the ring. Mankind is in control of Christian in one corner where as Chris Jericho beats on Simon Dean in the other. Mankind Irish Whips Christian across the ring and into a dropkick from Jericho; whom gets taken down with a blow to the back from behind by Simon Dean.
