After the opening credits and pyrotechnic display the camera cut to Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler at ringside.
Jim Ross: Good evening and welcome to Warfare! We are LIVE on A&E and as always, I'm Jim Ross joined by Jerry "The King" Lawler!
Jerry Lawler: What a night this should be JR! I can't wait to witness the fallout from the Royal Rumble!
Jim Ross: We'll hear from The Trilogy after their extremely successful night at the Rumble, and we've also got Curt Hawkins versus The Rock for the Breakout Championship! Up first though, three superstars will be making their EBWF debuts. Rey Mysterio takes on Goldberg and Drew McIntyre in a triple threat match!
And I think...
"Oh My! Here we Go!"
Jerry Lawler: We're going to be joined by the EBWF Chairman, Wes Ikeda!
Wes came from behind the curtain in his standard fitted jeans, with a vintage Wes Ikeda Underappreciated, Underrated, Underdog t-shirt. He wore a pair of Oakley sunglasses, rounded out with Doc Martin work boots. He had a microphone in hand and proceeded to the ring to a thunderous ovation from the EBWF Universe in the arena. He had a microphone and entered the ring. He soaked up the welcoming for a moment before speaking.
Wes Ikeda: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Road to Wrestlemania, and more importantly, welcome to our brand new home on A&E! I'm excited to be here, the EBWF Superstars are excited to be here, and I think all of you are excited to be here too! Now, I know I'm not usually one for all the hype, and spectacle, but tonight is a night for celebration. We crown a new breakout champion tonight. You're going to hear from Legacy tonight. And here tonight, I start to shape the most exciting ideas for Fallout that will take us straight to Wrestlemania, and the EBWF Slammy Awards! Now, our new network home at A&E means that I have to work extra hard to shake things up and...
"HaHa HeeHee HaHa Oh!" Britney Spears' Circus, came over the loudspeaker, and the crowd got to their feet once more.
Jerry Lawler: Hold on a second! This is...
Jim Ross: It's Nicole Ikeda!
Jerry Lawler: Va! Va! Voom!
Nicole came from behind the curtain dressed in a tight, gray mini-sweater dress, a pair of black leggings and knee high, high heeled boots. She confidently strode to the ring, with her own microphone in hand. She went up the stairs and got into the ring with her brother.
Wes Ikeda: Not that I'm not thrilled to see you, but uh...what are you doing here.
Nicole Ikeda: Well, I actually came to talk to you. I'm really glad that you're so thrilled to be here tonight! And I'm glad your happy with our new home here on A&E.
Wes Ikeda: Well of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?
Nicole Ikeda: I'm here with a little bit of news, Wes. And I'm aftaid you're not going to like it.
Wes Ikeda: Well, let's get it over with so we can get on with our night.
Nicole seemed to pause for a moment. Then she cooly looked her brother in his face.
Nicole Ikeda: As you know our new network, ABC, is happy to welcome us to their family, and have us airing here live on their cable network. They're just a little concerned about... well, you.
Wes Ikeda: Me?
Nicole Ikeda: Wes, you're not exactly known for your cool head. You're not known for making rational decisions either. In fact, some times people might be able to accuse you of making decisions out of...anger.
Wes Ikeda: Okay, so what if that's true? So?
Nicole Ikeda: So, I just want to make things clear. You are still, and always will be, the EBWF CEO. Chairman of the Board...
Wes Ikeda: Why do I feel that there's a but coming...
Nicole Ikeda: ...but, ABC would be more comfortable if, just while they're getting used to EBWF and you, that I serve as the General Manager of EBWF Warfare.
Wes Ikeda: What exactly qualifies you for that job?
Nicole Ikeda: I think my last name speaks for itself.
Wes raised his eyebrow and chuckled.
Wes Ikeda: I'm not going to touch that one with a ten foot pole. Have it your way Nic, but don't come crying to big brother when the going gets touch.
Nicole Ikeda: Don't worry, Wes. I definitely won't.
"Circus" hit again, and Nicole left the ring, leaving Wes shaking his head in disbelief as Warfare went to commercial.
MATCH ONE
"Booyaka 619" hit and Mysterio came out to cheers from the crowd. After Rey had entered the ring, "Invasion" hit and the crowd sounded their approval as the veteran superstar Goldberg stepped out onto the stage. Finally, "Broken Dreams" by Shaman's Harvest hit and the crowd booed as Drew McIntyre made his way to the ring. After McIntyre had entered the ring, the referee called for the bell. Goldberg got off to a strong start, running at Mysterio and taking him down with a shoulder block, then turning to face McIntyre and hitting him with a series of right hands. He whipped McIntyre against the ropes and hit a powerslam, then when Rey got to his feet, Goldberg hit the Master of the 619 with a big boot. As Goldberg stood over Mysterio and McIntyre, the crowd chanted his name.
Jerry Lawler: An impressive start from Goldberg and the crowd are fully behind him!
Goldberg pulled Mysterio to his feet and hit him with a series of right hands, forcing Mysterio into a corner. He stepped back and shoulder-charged Mysterio, crushing him against the turnbuckle. As Mysterio fell down, McIntyre got to his feet and attacked Goldberg from behind. After punching Goldberg in the head several times, McIntyre picked him up and hit a back drop. He then pulled Mysterio away from the ropes and hit a leg drop before hooking the leg. The referee counted - 1... 2... Goldberg interrupted the count!
Jim Ross: McIntyre almost stole one!
Goldberg hit McIntyre with some more right hands, then grabbed him and hit a belly-to-belly suplex. Mysterio got to his feet and ran towards Goldberg, but Goldberg kicked him in the stomach, stopping the little man in his tracks. He then picked Mysterio up for a powerbomb, but Mysterio countered with a hurricanrana! The crowd cheered and as Goldberg got to his feet, Mysterio hit him with a dropkick, causing Goldberg to fall through the ropes to the outside. Rey then turned his attention to McIntyre, who kicked him in the stomach and attempted a body slam. Mysterio countered with a headscissors takedown and McIntyre fell through the ropes too! As McIntyre and Goldberg got to their feet, Mysterio ran the ropes then jumped through the air, catching both of his opponents with a suicide dive!
Jerry Lawler: Great aerial skill from Rey Mysterio!
All three men struggled to their feet, and Mysterio grabbed McIntyre, throwing him back into the ring. Goldberg followed and when all three superstars were back in the ring, Goldberg and Mysterio exchanged right hands. Goldberg quickly overpowered Rey and followed his punches up with knee strikes, before whipping Rey against the ropes and hitting the Spear!
Jim Ross: Devastating Spear from Goldberg! This one could be over!
McIntyre was back on his feet and he grabbed Goldberg, attempting the Future Shock DDT. Goldberg countered with an inverted atomic drop then picked McIntyre up, hitting the Jackhammer! He made the cover and the referee counted - 1... 2... 3! The referee called for the bell and "Invasion" played once more as the ref held Goldberg's arm up in victory.
SEGMENT
EBWF Warfare came back on the air from commercial break after the opening match in the backstage area. Party supplies was everywhere and there were at a couple of stagehands moving around hastily in order to set things up. Suddenly, the camera turned to catch the winner of the 2012 EBWF Royal Rumble, AJ Styles. He was dressed an expensive looking pinstripe suit with the Intercontinental Championship hung over his shoulder as he held a phone to his ear. Surprisingly, the audience greeted him with a mixed reaction.
AJ Styles: I don’t want any excuses. This night is going to be perfect! Make sure to have that video package of the three of us winning our matches ready to go on cue… I wanna show these ungrateful fans exactly what I accomplished without them, over and over again.
After that comment the mixed reaction turned into complete heat, causing a grin to appear on the face of The Phenomenal One. Styles turned his attention to one of the stagehands who was sitting down in a chair.
AJ Styles: Slacking on the job? Get your ass up and do some work! Tonight is a very important night!
Styles had kicked the guy out of the seat and the man had fell on the floor. Obviously embarrassed, the man quickly scrambled to his feet and ran off to find something to do. Styles remembered he was on the phone and spoke up.
AJ Styles: Excuse my French. As I was saying, tonight has to be perfect. Get the rest of that stuff here pronto!
Styles hung up the phone and was looking to walk around the corner of a hallway only to bump into a guy dressed a black leather jacket and hat. The camera zoomed in to catch a glimpse of the man’s face as it was revealed to be Mr. Kennedy. Styles backed off for a moment and looked a little apprehensive before Kennedy broke the silence.
Mr. Kennedy: Congratulations.
Kennedy extended his hand towards Styles in a respectful manner. Styles was hesitant and didn’t shake his hand, instead he looked at Kennedy in disgust and walked past him, aggressively giving him the preverbal shoulder bump before walking away down the hallway. Ken Kennedy looked pissed off as the scene went back to ringside.
MATCH TWO
After Warfare returned from a commercial break, Ashley Massaro was stood in the ring ready for the next match. "Closer" by Lacuna Coil hit and the crowd gave a mixed reaction as Natalya made her way to the ring.
Jim Ross: Welcome back folks! Up next, divas action!
Natalya entered the ring and stared down her opponent as the referee called for the bell. Ashley moved towards Natalya and attempted a lock up, but Natalya kicked her in the gut then hit a series of right hands. She whipped Ashley against the ropes and hit her with a stiff clothesline, then stomped on her several times before hitting a knee drop.
Jerry Lawler: An aggressive start from Natalya!
Natalya picked Ashley up and put her in a headlock, which she transitioned into a snapmare before applying a sleeper hold. As Ashley tried to fight out of the hold, Natalya pulled her to her feet and turned her around, hitting a double underhook suplex!
Jim Ross: Tremendous technical skill from Natalya!
Jerry Lawler: It sure beats farting, JR...
Natalya grabbed Ashley by the legs and attempted the Sharpshooter, but Ashley kicked her away and got to her feet. She slapped Natalya then attempted an Irish whip, but Natalya reversed it then took Ashley down with a powerslam. Ashley struggled to her feet and Natalya kicked her in the stomach, before hitting a Michinoku driver. She grabbed Ashley by the legs once more and this time was able to lock the Sharpshooter in. Ashley quickly submitted and the referee called for the bell, but Natalya kept the hold locked in! The referee forced her to release Ashley then raised her arm in victory as Ashley clutched her back in pain.
Jim Ross: Natalya gets the victory after displaying ruthless aggression!
Jerry Lawler: I'd say she's back to her old self, JR...
SEGMENT
Warfare returned from a commercial break and backstage the new Path to Glory Champion was busy talking on his phone. He was dressed up in a very expensive black Italian suit with his championship draped over his shoulder. The camera man filming Ted moved closer to try and hear what Ted was saying over the phone.
Ted Jr: So everything is set is it? So the group will be here by the time we have to go out? Great. Yes you'll be paid once I've we've had our celebration and the show is finished. If they all do a good job there will be a very generous tip in it for you. Ok, bye.
Ted ended the call and turned to see the camera man filming him.
Ted Jr: What are you doing here? Can't you see that I was busy talking on the phone?
Ted moved forward and pushed the camera man out of the way.
Ted Jr: Get out of my way; I've still got things to plan for our celebration later on tonight.
Ted walked past the camera man and went off into the distance as the scene returned to the ring.
SEGMENT
"Realeza" hit over the PA system while Ricardo Rodriguez stood in the middle of the ring, wearing a tuxedo. Alberto's Rolls Royce phantom drove into the arena as he honked the horn.
Ricardo Rodriguez: Damas y Caballeros! Levantense! Y ayudenme a introducir a este gran hombre! El es el orgullo de México! El Jefe de Jefes! El Magnifico!
ALBEEEERRRTOOOOOOOOOOO
DEL RRRRRRRRRIIIIIOOOOOOO
Alberto had hopped off fro his white Rolls Roice and was posing on the ramp as golden sparks fell before him, arms spreaded and a cocky smirk on his face. He was dressed in a black suit -tailor made, of course- and his white scarf over his shoulders. He walked towards the ring with a mixed reaction, stepped up the stairs, along the apron and into the ring, being handed a mic by his personal announcer.
Alberto del Rio: I hope you watched Total Recall last week! Estuvo bueno el show! Good show huh? Last week I delivered a message to Kane. I told that ugly monster to face the consequences of eliminating me from the rumble and denying me from going to Wrestlemania! Le exigí que se disculpara! I demanded an apology! Well, as a man of my word... Here I am Kane, now come on out!
Del Rio awaited for a few moments.
Alberto del Rio: I said come on out!
His eyes fixed on the ramp, where he thought Kane would come out.
Alberto del Rio: No vas a salir? Que eres gallina o que? Are you a chicken or wha...
The arena lights went completely black until a red tint filled the arena. The masked monster Kane stepped out onto the stage and looked towards the ring without much of an expression. He slowly raised his arms and then quickly lowered them. Typically, this would set the turn buckles ablaze. But on this instance, Alberto's Rolls Royce had suddenly exploded into flames! The audience was startled by this display and so was Del Rio until his shock turned into anger. He shouted in Spanish about how much the car cost, completely outraged. Kane only gave a small smirk before returning to the back.
MATCH THREE
Bobby Roode and Rob Van Dam were already in the ring when Warfare came back from its commercial break. The bell rang and the match began.
Jim Ross: Two new faces trying to make a name for themselves here.
Jerry Lawler: This should be a great match!
The two men locked up. Roode got the early advantage with a side headlock. RVD tried to escape the pressure but Roode clamped it on even tighter. RVD finally countered with two elbows to Roode's mid section. RVD ran the ropes and Roode telegraphed a back body drop, allowing RVD to kick Roode square in the face. RVD then took him down with a side leg sweep and went for an early cover. Roode threw RVD off of him after barely a one count.
Jim Ross: Going to take a lot more than that, King.
Both men were back to their feet and locked up again. This time Roode took RVD into a hammerlock, but RVD quickly reversed it. Roode swung wildly with a back elbow but RVD ducked it. When Roode's momentum took him back facing RVD, RVD kicked him in the gut and then planted him with a DDT. RVD went for another cover.
Jim Ross: Nice DDT there, here's the cover 1.. 2.. no 2 count.
RVD lifted Roode back up, and went to initiate a 3rd lock up but Roode kicked RVD square in the chest. Roode then dropped RVD with a standing clothesline, RVD popped back up and was drilled with another standing clothesline, RVD popped up one more time and Roode went for a third but RVD ducked it and ran the ropes, when he rebounded Roode planted him with a spinebuster and went for the cover.
Jim Ross: Oh that'll rearrange your back. Here's the cover 1..2.. RVD kicks out.
Jerry Lawler: I thought he had it there, JR.
Roode began to stomp away at Rob Van Damn. He then picked RVD up a vertical base and drilled him with a stiff right hand, and then another. Roode then went for a body slam but RVD countered and landed behind Roode. RVD then went for a bulldog but instead was thrown down by Roode face first into the turf. Roode waited for RVD to return to his feet and went for the Pay Off. RVD kneed Roode in the gut and then hit a standing hurricanrana. RVD went for a quick cover.
Jim Ross: What a turn of events could have him here. One.. two.. thre... no two!
Jerry Lawler: That was close.
RVD did not want to waste anytime . He quickly ran the ropes and hit a low dropkick on Roode knocking him back to the ground. RVD waited for Roode to return to his feet and went for a tornado DDT. Roode countered this halfway and gave RVD a bearhug. The referee checked RVD and dropped his hand for one, then two, and on the third drop RVD awoke, he elbowed Roode in the head and then completed the DDT! The crowd cheered as RVD went up to the top rope.
Jim Ross: Here it comes, King. The Five Star Frog Splash.
Jerry Lawler: What a victory this would be!
RVD dove for the 5 star but Roode stuck his knees up causing RVD to bounce off but remain on his feet holding his gut. Roode was quickly to his feet, and when RVD was down, Roode planted him with the Pay Off. Roode hooked the leg.
Jim Ross: What a counter! Then he got the Pay Off, this is academic here. One.. Two.. Three.
Jerry Lawler: Wow, Roode steals it, out of nowhere!
Justin Roberts: The winner of this bout, Bobby Roode!
Roode's music hit and his arm was raised in victory.
Jim Ross: An impress win for Roode here, as he is definitely making some news already, in the EBWF.
Jerry Lawler: No question about that, JR.
Roode made his way to the back, as RVD looked very disappointed in the ring. He slammed his hand on the mat, as Warfare went to a commercial break.
SEGMENT
After the match, the camera cut to a backstage dressing room. The mood of the fans quickly shifted when the new EBWF World Heavyweight Champion, The Miz was seen. He wore a navy blue suit with a white shirt and navy blue tie. The EBWF Title was draped over his left shoulder. He had his cell phone up to his ear.
The Miz: Come on, pick up! Yes, hi. What do you mean "who is this?" As if my voice isn't recognizable. Really you don't know, that this is, the world famous, one and only, most captivating, most must see EBWF Champion of all time? No it's not Chris Jericho! REALLY!? It's The Miz. Hi. I just wanted to call you to let you know, to send your little troops to Warfare tonight, because tonight The Trilogy is going to have a monster celebration of what transpired this past weekend at Royal Rumble. Yes, I know you can just watch it on TV, but use your brain, if you have one. There is going to be a victory party tonight on the air, and then there is going to be an after party when the show goes off the air. You see? Oh yes, light bulb. It's not enough that I am godlike at my own job, I do yours better than you too. Why am I telling you? Because I think the world should see us, the world should get a glimpse as to what greatness looks like, since they don't ever get to see it in their own lives. I'm doing TMZ a favor by tipping you so I'd probably stop asking questions. I'm giving you guys the chance to get actual access to the best wrestling group ever assembled. I'm giving you guys the chance to get footage of the EBWF Champion, yours truly, The EBWF Intercontinental Champion and Royal Rumble Winner, AJ Styles, and The EBWF Path To Glory Champion Ted DiBiase. This is your lucky day. Well you're welcome. Yeah, yeah you're boring me now, bye.
The Miz hung up the phone, adjusted his title, and looked pleased as Warfare went to commercial.
MATCH FOUR
We returned from commercial with both men already in the ring. The bell rang and both men stared each other down before circling. They both soaked in the reactions of the crowd before locking up. Trent Barreta backed JTG up but JTG turned it around in the corner, and Trent Barreta backed him right back out before breaking. We got another lock up and JTG was sent into the ropes where he hit a shoulderblock but Trent Barreta didn't budge. JTG called for a test of strength. Both men struggled to establish dominance, but neither man got the advantage before they break.
Jim Ross: One of these men need to make something happen here!
JTG hit Trent Barreta with a couple of big clubbing blows before locking in a cravat and hitting a series of knees. Trent Barreta got out of it, smiled, and hits a discus clothesline. Trent Barreta tried for a big boot, but JTG avoided it and hit a clothesline, mounting Trent Barreta and punching away. Trent Barreta backed JTG into the corner and hit a series of shoulders to JTG's midsection before clotheslining him over the top to the outside.
Jerry Lawler: You can't win it out there!
Trent Barreta followed to the outside, but JTG fought back, slamming Trent Barreta's head into the steps and sending him into the barricade. JTG rearranged the ring steps. JTG tried to send Trent into the steps but Trent Barreta avoided it and for some reason JTG crashed into the steps. Trent Barreta sent JTG into the ring and clotheslined him in the corner before hitting a side slam for a two count. Trent Barreta sent JTG into the ropes and hit a back elbow before mounting JTG and hitting a series of right hands. Trent picked JTG up and hit a head butt before hitting the rapid fire elbow in the corner. JTG shook it off and followed Barreta out, saying something that wasn't entirely broadcast friendly. JTG hit a series of clothesline before hitting an exploder suplex for a near fall.
Jim Ross: Not enough!
Trent Barreta buried his shoulder in JTG's gut in the corner again, but JTG came right back, taking Barreta down to the mat and locking in a modified half nelson. Barreta fought out of it, and avoided a charging JTG. Trent hit a slam and went for a pin, but JTG kicked out at two. Barreta psyched himself up in the corner and he tried for a big kick, but JTG avoided it and hits the spear. JTG went for the pin but he was still only able to get a two count. JTG picked Barreta up and hit the ropes but Barreta countered with the Springboard Tornado DDT. Barreta took the pin, 1…2…3!
Lilian Garcia: And your winner, Trent Baretta!
MATCH FIVE
"In the Middle of it Now" filled the arena, and the EBWF crowd awaited the arrival of Curt Hawkins. He proceeded to the ring without acknowledging the crowd, staying laser line focused on the ring. "If Ya Smelllll…" greeted the arena next, and the Rock did his overly long entrance. Once Rock was down off the turnbuckle, the crowd was ready for action and Rock got the advantage, slamming Hawkins's head into the turnbuckle, but he was taken out by a couple of big clotheslines, then a spinning neckbreaker from Hawkins. Rock went up the ropes, but Hawkins caught him with a low blow. Hawkins shouldered Rock, but Rock dropped down and got his foot right in Hawkins's face to take him down to the mat.
Jim Ross: Big move there from The Rock.
Rock picked Hawkins up and shoved him into the corner hard. Rock ripped off Hawkins's t-shirt and hit him with a huge chop before raking him in the eyes from behind. Rock hit Hawkins with another huge chop that echoed throughout the building. Rock hit yet another chop, but Hawkins ducked a clothesline and was able to come up with a big kick to Rock's head for a near fall. Hawkins continued punching away at Rock before slamming his head into the barricade. Rock was back in and rolled Hawkins up with a school boy for two. Hawkins tried to turn it around, but Rock shifted and got another roll up for two. Rock got a high kick and took Hawkins down. Rock was on Hawkins with kicks in the corner. Rock whipped Hawkins, then rushed him, but Curt moved and Rock ended up flying up and over the top roping, landing hard. Rock limped, and Hawkins went out for a splash. Rock moved and Hawkins got nothing but barrier.
The two men got back into the ring, and Hawkins was a little slow on his feet. The Rock bounded off the ropes and went for the shoulder block, but Hawkins dodged it, getting a DDT. Hawkins was quick to the top rope, and went for the Heat Seeking Elbow. Hawkins went for the pin 1…2…3!
Lilian Garcia: Your winner, and new Breakout Champion, Curt Hawkins!
Hawkins was awarded his title, and held it in the air as EBWF went to commercial.
SEGMENT
The main event crowned a new Breakout champion and the ring was set up for a celebration, but not for him. No music played, no video on the screen, just three men walking out to a massive amount of heat. AJ Styles, The Miz, and Ted DiBiase Jr. collectively known as The Trilogy made their way towards the ring. All three men were dressed to impress with their respective championship over their shoulders, strutting towards the ring in a cocky manner as balloons and confetti began falling around the arena. Beautiful ladies waited within the ring while, reporters and photographers waited around the ring. The three champions entered the ring and quickly received microphones. The group stood in the ring as the photographers took their photos. The dancers all walked around the three Trilogy members and Ted DiBiase held up his microphone and began to speak.
Ted Jr: Let’s get this party started!
On cue, music began to play around the arena and the lights began to change. The group of dancers surrounded the Trilogy members and danced for them. Members of the media entered the ring and began asking questions while the Trilogy members posed for photos together, showing off their championship gold. After a few moments three chairs were set up in the middle of the ring and the girls began to give the men lap dances while they all poured up glasses of champagne.
AJ Styles: Now, this is the life! Finally, we’re getting the treatment we deserve.
While they were all receiving lap dances, Miz had a disgruntled look on his face. Ted noticed this and picked up his microphone.
Ted Jr: What's wrong? This is our celebration.
The Miz turned to Ted and spoke.
The Miz: You're right it's OUR celebration; I don't see why these losers should get to enjoy the show.
AJ and Ted both pondered what Miz had said to them. The Miz stood up out of his seat.
The Miz: Stop, stop the music!
The music cut off.
The Miz: Everybody who is not Trilogy, get the hell out of the ring, NOW!
AJ looked disappointed.
AJ Styles: Girls you wait for us in the back.
The 3 girls nodded and one touched AJ's chest as she walked by him. AJ slapped her on the butt and she smiled. The Miz did not look like he was in the mood for this party anymore.
The Miz: You all doubted us! Each and everyone of you. You doubted us, when AJ and I TOLD YOU that in no time at all we would dominate this company. You laughed at us, even when I captured the EBWF Path To Glory Championship, and even when AJ captured the Intercontinental Championship, you laughed when we said it would only be a matter of time that The Trilogy stood with their foot on the throats of the EBWF. YOU EVEN doubted that getting rid of that fool Funaki and adding a superstar like Ted DiBiase, would make even the slightest difference. Philadelphia, I sincerely mean this when I say, that there is NO better feeling in the world then seeing the collective "oh boy was I wrong" look that you ALL have on your faces right now. Right now you are looking at the most dominate group EVER assembled in professional wrestling. You have 3 men who EACH hold on of the three top championships in this company, and they are all on the same page. So tonight, we came out here to celebrate OUR accomplishments, and that's when it hit me. It is OUR accomplishments, OURS, not YOURS. You didn't support us when we were making our way to the top, and you still don't support us now, and make no mistake about it, we DON'T WANT YOU TO, and we damn sure don't NEED YOU to. If you need any evidence of that, well then here you go.
The 3 men took a step forward and held their respective titles high in the air, and the crowd booed loudly. AJ began to speak.
AJ Styles: You people, used to cheer me. You used to love me, you used to have my back. You loved the old AJ Styles, the AJ Styles who'd smile and put on a show, win some matches sure, but always had the front row seat to OTHER people getting the spotlight. The AJ Styles who would put on a good performance but just not QUITE get to where he wanted to be. It was like something was holding him back. That something, WAS ALL OF YOU. Since I turned my back on you all, since I stopped caring what you all thought of me, just look at what has transpired. 2 months ago, I became the EBWF Intercontinental Champion, when I defeated the incomparable Justin Gabriel. A man that was thought to be unbeatable, and I beat him. Beat him so bad in fact that one little attack from Sheamus and Wade after my victory, that The Corre ran way with their tales between their legs, NEVER to be seen again. As if that wasn't enough, as if capturing the EBWF Intercontinental Title wasn't enough, last Sunday at The Royal Rumble, I was the LAST MAN STANDING. Meaning I will be going to Wrestlemania to face the EBWF Champion, which just in case you guys missed it, is my best friend, and Trilogy member, THE MIZ.
The crowd booed loudly as The Miz smiled wryly.
AJ Styles: Which means that no matter what happens, TRILOGY will STILL hold the two richest prizes in the game after the Grand Daddy of them all! Oh wait.. did I say 2 richest prizes... I almost forgot.. we added..
Ted Jr stepped forward.
Ted DiBiase: Me.
The crowd booed as Ted smiled confidently.
Ted DiBiase: A few weeks ago when I joined the Trilogy, I knew I was joining something special. I knew I was aligning myself with the future.. hell not even just the future, but both THE PRESENT and FUTURE of this business. The Trilogy are the here and now, and we will continue to be in the spotlight, we will continue to have the glory for a long long time, because simply put, there is NOBODY that is going to stop us. At Royal Rumble, when I defeated Jeff Hardy, and recaptured the EBWF Path To Glory Championship, I didn't do it for you people. I did it for my brothers standing in this ring with me right now. All my career, I've been selfish. I've done things for myself, and by myself. I see now that strength does indeed come with numbers and make no mistake about it, this is group standing before you today is the STRONGEST FORCE that this company has ever seen.
The crowd booed some more as The Miz put the mic to his lips once again.
The Miz: So this party FOR YOU, is over. The party for us is just beginning, not only tonight.
AJ Styles: With the strippers.
The Miz smiled.
The Miz: Right, but also both the near and distant future. Our party is just beginning here in the EBWF. Tonight will mark the first of many celebrations, of the MANY accomplishments and accolades we will receive. So before we go, I'd just like to thank... NONE OF YOU, and though you didn't get to enjoy the celebration tonight, don't worry, because when we continue to further take over this company, we MAY even let you watch.
AJ Styles had to get one last thing in.
AJ Styles: Do you feel lucky? Well do ya?! Punks!
AJ dropped the mic and exited the ring. Ted and Miz looked at each other and shrugged. They followed AJ out and the Trilogy were getting booed all the way back up the ramp. Cameras followed the group into the back, and to the outside of the arena. There, TMZ cameras were waiting. The Miz looked right into their cameras.
The Miz: TMZ right on time, get a good shot, you can quote me, put this on your show, put this online, whatever you want to do. This shot that you are looking at right now of three champions, is a site that not only the EBWF, but the WORLD is going to have to get used to. Our star power goes way beyond the ring or some company, we are ICONS, and we are not GOING ANYWHERE! BECAUSE WE'RE TRILOGY.. we're on top, and if you don't like it, that's your problem.
AJ Styles: TIME TO GET DRUNK! Beat it nerds.
AJ put his hand on the EBWF camera and shoved it away. When it finally got resettled, Trilogy was much further down the road talking into the TMZ cameras.
Jim Ross: Good grief, I don't know how much longer I can put up with these three.
Jerry Lawler: I'm afraid we might have to JR.
Jim Ross: God help us if that's true, King. We'll see you next week folks.
Warfare faded out.
