The Backstory
Breaking Point was a mixed pay per view. It had its high points and low points just like any other WWE pay per view of the year, but the one thing everyone was talking about was the ending to CM Punk vs. The Undertaker. At Breaking Point, CM Punk and Theodore Long screwed The Undertaker out of the World Heavyweight Championship, but nobody knew why.
The following night on Monday Night RAW Batista made his big appearance. He talked about how wrestling was his whole life and how he wasn’t finished yet. He went on to say that he is medically cleared to wrestle, but then made the shocking announcement that he will not be returning to wrestling with World Wrestling Entertainment. Batista left RAW with everybody in shock over the announcement, and with no answers in sight.
That same week on SmackDown everyone expected answers, but at the start of the show none were given. Throughout the night nobody saw CM Punk or Theodore Long. During the main event, which pitted Chris Jericho & Big Show against The Undertaker & Matt Hardy, Batista made a shocking appearance and with the assistance of the Tag Team Champions and the suddenly appearing World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk completely destroyed the Undertaker and Matt Hardy.
With the four wrestlers in the ring Theodore Long made his entrance. Long stated it was not his decision to screw the Undertaker, but that he needed to keep his job, which brought out Shane McMahon. Shane announced that recently Vince McMahon had stopped taking notice of what Shane had been doing, and so he had easily been able to use his stake in WWE to do the one thing nobody else would be able to. Shane McMahon then officially announced he had bought the rights to WCW and ECW, as well as taking the contract for SmackDown and ECW on Sci-fi right from Vince McMahon’s nose. Shane McMahon then introduced Stephanie McMahon as the new owner of ECW.
Furthermore, Shane McMahon announced that as a result of the purchase the brand split was over, and that SmackDown would become Friday Night Nitro. The entire WWE roster’s contracts were being opened for one month up until the next pay per view, which had its name changed to ‘Deadline’ to fit with the storyline. Every single WWE superstar would be able to choose to either join the WWE roster, the WCW roster or the ECW roster. Shane then revealed that CM Punk, Batista, Chris Jericho and Big Show were all joining him on WCW.
Vince McMahon was furious at this news and on RAW immediately began fighting back, gaining the support of a number of WWE wrestlers, notably the new WWE Champion John Cena, who found himself feuding with Batista leading into the final joint pay per view – Deadline. The two had several heated confrontations and brawls throughout the month that eventually led to a match between the two being announced by the WWE board.
Of course the biggest feud leading into the Deadline pay per view was between the newly named WCW World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk and the man who was screwed out of the title at Breaking Point, The Undertaker. Undertaker made his presence known to Punk leading into Deadline, viciously attacking him the week following the big announcement and delivering a Last Ride through a table. It was announced that the main event would feature WWE’s The Undertaker and WCW’s CM Punk in a Hell in a Cell match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.
The biggest shock signing to the newly formed WCW came in the form of Shawn Michaels. During a tag team match pitting D-Generation X, representing WWE, against Legacy, representing WCW, Shawn Michaels shocked everyone when he turned on his DX tag partner, delivering a massive Sweet Chin Music to Triple H and allowing Legacy to get the win. Shawn Michaels joined WCW, claiming his distaste at being a joke in D-Generation X being the primary reason, and a match pitting Triple H and Shawn Michaels against each other was made.
Another big surprise came in the form Randy Orton, who made his allegiance to WWE clear when he delivered an RKO to Batista on RAW. A bigger shock came as Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes turned on Randy Orton and joined Shane McMahon’s new WCW. Leading into Deadline Rhodes & DiBiase continued their assault on Orton until Orton hit back, taking Rhodes out with a punt to the skull and challenging DiBiase to a match at Deadline. DiBiase promptly excepted the challenge, and it was set – mentor vs. pupil, WWE vs. WCW.
With Stephanie McMahon being unveiled as the new owner of ECW there were obvious changes in the air, most noticeable as the ECW Champion Christian announced that he was staying with the WWE, potentially leaving ECW without a world title. Stephanie McMahon wasn’t happy about his decision, and immediately granted William Regal another shot at the ECW Champion when Regal, along with Ezekial Jackson and Vladamir Kozlov, signed on with the new ECW.
Other big matches made for the pay per view pitted John Morrison, representing WWE, against WCW’s Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship, Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Matt Hardy & Montel Vontavious Porter, representing WWE, and WWE Diva’s Champion Mickie James vs. Maryse, who returned from injury to join WCW.
With the pay per view just around the corner every superstar his picked their new show. WWE has signed stars such as John Cena, Randy Orton, Montel Vontavious Porter and Triple H. WCW has gained CM Punk, Chris Jericho, Big Show and The Miz (who won the United States Championship on the RAW following Breaking Point) amongst others and ECW has signed stars like William Regal, Vladamir Kozlov, Ezekial Jackson and Tommy Dreamer.
As soon as the Pay Per View comes to a close, a new era of WWE, WCW and ECW begins.

OOC: I know I'll get told that this is unrealistic, but honestly this is a more realistic possiblity than other WCW revival diaries, because in this WCW and ECW are still under the WWE umbrella, just running as sepearate promotions (Oh my god, I broke kayfabe!).
ing awesome. I love this idea and you have a reader here.
