Commentators: JR & King
**the show opens with a pyrotechnic display as we come to you at home from the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL and we start the show off in the ring with DX**
Triple H: Miami, I got a question for you. Are you ready? (the fans start to boo). No Miami, I SAID…
Michaels: Hunter, it’s not even worth it, these fans don’t deserve anything.
Triple H: You’re right (fans boo), anyways last week, you all saw the reuniting of D-Generation X and you all loved every second of it (fans start to chant *DX Sucks*). The reason why Shawn and I got back together is because we couldn’t take getting underused and getting pushed around by guys who didn’t deserve anything.
Michaels: That’s where The Hardyz come into play (fans go crazy). You see, Matt stuck his nose where it didn’t belong. Matt, you don’t know how to keep your mouth shut after somebody gets denied something they want so dearly, and you paid the consequences because tonight, Matt Hardy will not be here (fans start to boo). Mr. Bischoff also said that if Matt Hardy cannot make Night of Champions, Jeff Hardy will have to defend the World Tag Team Titles against DX in a Handicap Match.
Triple H: Speaking of Jeff, Jeff, you need to learn a little word we like to use, and that is respect. You didn’t show me any respect last week so I retaliated and cost you your Intercontinental Championship Match as Night of Champions. Do I fell sorry for that? No, not really. Jeff, you’re nothing more than a screw up, a screw up like these fans will for some reason cheer for (the fans started to chant *Hardy Hardy Hardy*).
Michaels: Maybe all the fans realized they’re just like Jeff Hardy, a screw up that will never accomplish anything.
Triple H: Yeah, that’s right Shawn, and later tonight, Jeff and I have an Extreme Rules Match (the fans start to cheer), and tonight, I end the pointless career of Jeff Hardy.
Just then the music of Jeff Hardy hits and the fans in Miami explode.
Jeff came through the crowd and attacked DX from behind. Jeff made his way to the rope and nailed a Flying Closeline on HBK. Jeff then Dropkicked Triple H. Hardy then went over and hit a Twist of Fate on Shawn Michaels. Jeff then went back to the top rope to go for the Swanton Bomb, but before Jeff could go for it, Triple H dragged Shawn out of the ring away from harms way. The fans went crazy and started to cheer Hardy as they anticipate the main event of RAW, an Extreme Rules Match between Triple H and one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Jeff Hardy.
King: Did you see that? What a cheap shot by Jeff Hardy.
JR: Are you serious King? That is no different than Triple H coming in last week and hitting the Pedigree on Hardy. To me that’s just getting even.
King: Maybe so, but I still feel that Jeff’s a crook.
JR: You’re never happy are you? Well Ladies and Gentlemen coming up next, it’s Carlito’s Cabana and he has a special guest to talk to.
(Commercial)
We return to see Shawn Michaels and Triple H in the back as John Morrison walks in their locker room.
Triple H: What the hell do you want John? Can’t you see were busy?
Morrison: You know, I just wanted to come by and tell you both how ridiculous you’re both being. Attacking the Hardyz just because they showed you no respect? You two have been here for a long time, you should let the younger superstars, like myself, shine since you both are past your prime.
Michaels: Past our prime? You know what, Johnny Boy? It seems like you don’t know the meaning of the word respect either so how bout, later on tonight, you get in the ring with “The Heart Break Kid”?
Morrison: Shawn, you’re on (fans start to cheer)! One thing before I leave. You’re no longer a kid, your more of a “Heart Break Grandpa” Captain High Pants.
Morrison walked out of the locker room with a furiated Michaels and Triple H.
CARLITO’S CABANA[/u]
Carlito: Good evening, and welcome to Carlito’s Cabana where the ladies are fly and all there men cry…..since they are with Carlito. Anyways, last week, I won the Fatal-Four Way to go on to Night of Champions to face Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Title. I must say I am pretty good and pretty cool (fans start to boo and chant *You’re Not Cool!). At Night of Champions, I will go on to become once again the Intercontinental Champion, so my guest at this time is…….ME! So Carlito how do you feel? ‘I feel pretty good Carlito thanks for asking.’ No problem, what do you think of your former partner, Mr. Kennedy? ‘He’s a piece of….’
Just then Kennedy’s music hit to interrupt Carlito (fans start to cheer).
Kennedy: Blah Blah Blah, that’s all I hear Carlito. You see, you say you carried our team back in the day, but from what I remember, you were the one laid out every match and I always picked up the win. Now, getting back to last week, you say you won the match all by yourself. So I guess you have 2 matches tonight since you say you’re HBK and Triple H as well, but that’s where you’re wrong. You’re not Triple H or Shawn Michaels, and you do have a match here tonight, and that’s right now against me (fans start to cheer as Kennedy makes his way down to the ring)!
KEN KENNEDY VS. CARLITO[/u]
The match starts with Carlito screaming at Kennedy but then Kennedy just slaps Carlito in the face and starts unloading on him with lefts and rights until he knocks Carlito down with an Uppercut. Then Kennedy gets on top of Carlito and just keeps hitting him until the ref pulls him off (the fans start to cheer *Kennedy*).Kennedy then brings Carlito up in a Head Lock and starts kneeing him in the gut. Kennedy then takes Carlito and hits a Belly-to-Belly Suplex. Kennedy went to the top rope and went for the Kenton Bomb, but Carlito moved and Kennedy hit the mat hard. Carlito gets up after a little and starts to stomp on Kennedy. Carlito then put on an Arm Bar to the former World Heavyweight Champion, but Kennedy got to the bottom rope quickly.
Carlito then waited for Mr. Kennedy to get to his feet and went for his Springboard Elbow and nailed it on Kennedy. Carlito took Kennedy to the corner and sat him up on the top rope. Carlito went up and went for a top rope Hurincanrana, but Kennedy held on and Carlito crashed down on the mat. Carlito got to his feet only to get taken down again by a Cross Body by Kennedy only to get a 2 count. Kennedy then went for a Suplex, but Carlito countered it and slid off Kennedy’s back and elbowed him in the back of the head. Carlito then hit his signature Swinging Neckbreaker and went for the cover but only got a 2 count because the ref noticed Carlito’s feet were on the ropes.
Carlito went for a Moonsault, but Kennedy moved and Carlito landed on his feet. Carlito, standing behind Kennedy, went for the Back Stabber, but Kennedy held onto the ropes as Carlito fell. Carlito got back up and got nailed with the Mic Check by Kennedy but Kennedy only got a 2 count. Kennedy then took Carlito to the corner to go for the move that put Kennedy out in the first place, the Green Bay Plunge. While up on the top rope about to hit the move, Carlito elbowed Kennedy in the side of the head forcing Kennedy to fall. Carlito stayed seated on the top rope taunting Kennedy, but Kennedy turned around and hit a knockout kick on Carlito, went to the top rope again and hit the Green Bay Plunge for the 1, 2, 3.
WINNER: KEN KENNEDY[/u]
JR: What a match that was, King! Full of reversals and great athleticism.
King: That match was great, JR. I’m surprised Kennedy went for the move that put him out a while ago.
JR: (looking back at the ending of the match footage) I really thought Carlito had him when he elbowed him off the top rope, but that kick Kennedy delivered, my god what impact.
King: Oh wait JR, look who it is!
The music of the Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin hit as Kennedy was celebrating.
Benjamin: That was a pretty good match Mr. Kennedy…….Kennedy. You just beat the man who’s supposed to face me at Night of Champions for my Intercontinental Title, so does that make you #1 Contender (fans start to cheer)? Well, like Bischoff said to Michaels last week, no (fans start to boo), but I can do this. At Night of Champions, I feel that you deserve a title shot, but Carlito is facing me there. In my contract, it doesn’t say I can’t add people (fans start to cheer). So at Night of Champions, it will now be a Triple Threat Match for my Intercontinental Championship as I defend it against Carlito and Mr. Kennedy!
JR: What an announcement! It’s now going to be a Triple Threat Match and these fans are going crazy!
King: What a fighting champion JR, any other guy would say no more, just one on one, but Benjamin has those guts a champion needs. I can’t wait for Night of Champions!
(Commercial)
We come back to RAW and see Todd Grisham and RAW GM Eric Bischoff talking about the confirmation of the Triple Threat Match for Night of Champions as Triple H bursts in the door.
Bischoff: Ah, Triple H, what can I do for you? Aren’t you supposed to be getting ready for your match later tonight?
Triple H: Listen, Eric. You need to take care of your young talent. Morrison and the Hardyz are just a bunch of punks that think they can go around and do whatever they want, and I won’t stand for it! Jeff may not make it to Sunday, I just wanted to come in and tell you that.
Bischoff: Strong words from a man who hasn’t won in 2 weeks. You know what, you and Shawn are making me sick, and that’s why I did this, since people are adding on to their matches, at Night of Champions, The Hardyz vs. DX for the World Tag Team Titles will be a TLC Match!
Triple H looks angered and storms out of Bischoff’s office.
“THE HEART BREAK KID” SHAWN MICHAELS VS. JOHN MORRISON[/u]
The match starts with HBK going to slap Morrison in the face, but Morrison catches HBK’s arm before he can get to him and just starts hitting Michaels until they make it to the ropes. Morrison throws Michaels off the ropes and catches Michaels with a Big Back Body Drop. Morrison then hit a Leg Drop and then got right back up and did a Spinning Leg Drop and went for the cover only to get a 2 count. Morrison then brought Shawn up and went for a Suplex, but Shawn stopped it and started to chop away on Morrison. Michaels then took Morrison down with a Closeline. HBK went for a Suplex but Morrison went behind Michaels and hit a Neckbreaker on one half of DX.
Morrison then locks in a Head Lock on Shawn Michaels. After a while, Michaels gets to his feet, with Morrison with the Head Lock on Shawn, HBK elbows Morrison in the gut until he lets go and then hits a DDT on the Monday Night Delight. Michaels waited for Morrison to get back to his feet and then hit an Atomic Drop and took down Morrison with a Closeline. Morrison got back up and HBK hit another Atomic Drop. Michaels bounced off the ropes and hit a Flying Forearm and then nipped up. Michaels made his way to the top rope, but when he got there, Morrison nipped up and went right at Shawn.
Morrison got to the second rope and just started punching Shawn to tire him out. Morrison then attempted to go for a Super Midnight Drive from the second rope, but Michaels pushed him off and then hit the Elbow Drop and Michaels went crazy (some fans booed, some fans cheered). Michaels then did the “suck it” motion to Morrison as he went to tune up the band. Michaels went for the Sweet Chin Music, but Morrison ducked and HBK turned around into a Super Kick from John Morrison. Morrison then got up and hit a Standing Shooting Star Press to clinch the victory.
WINNER: JOHN MORRISON[/u]
King: Look at that! Morrison has single handedly beaten DX in singles competition, can you believe it JR?
JR: Indeed I can, King. Morrison has such great ring presence and has the technique to become a World Champion one day.
King: Yeah, don’t forget about that future Championship Match he gained by defeating John Cena at One Night Stand last month.
JR: How could I? That was such a grueling match King and…..wait a minute! It’s Matt Hardy!!! Matt Hardy just came in through the crowd and is now attacking Shawn Michaels!
Hardy came running into the ring through the crowd and tackled Shawn Michaels to the ground and started letting it all out with punches to Shawn’s head, just as Michaels did to Hardy last week. Hardy got up from Shawn’s body and threw his beater into the crowd (fans start to cheer). Matt stocked Shawn as he got to his feet and hit the Twist of Fate!
JR: Can you believe this, King?! Listen to the roar of these fans here in Miami! There going absolutely crazy for Matt Hardy!
King: What a cowardly move, coming in through the crowd, that’s awful on Matt’s part.
JR: Oh and what DX did last week wasn’t? They deserve all the pain and suffering they go through tonight and what they have coming for them in a TLC Match this Sunday at Night of Champions.
We cut backstage to see Batista walking in the hall as Todd Grisham stops him.
Grisham: Dave, what are you doing? You’re not scheduled in a match tonight.
Batista: Oh thank you Todd I didn’t know that (being sarcastic). I’m going out to the ring to talk about Night of Champions so excuse me.
(Commercial)
We return to see Batista in the ring with a mic.
Batista: ME-A-ME what is up?! (fans start to cheer) This Sunday is Night of Champions, where every title is on the line, from the WWE Championship, to the not so important ECW Championship (fans start to laugh). Speaking of the WWE Championship Match at Night of Champions, you guys, it is the most important match in my career. I will finally regain the WWE Championship (some fans cheer, some fans boo). Ever since I was drafted here to RAW from SmackDown! All I’ve wanted to do is become the WWE Champion. Sure, I met obstacles, like having to go through Triple H first, but now, it’s my time, and Rey, buddy, you don’t know what you’ve got yourself into!
The music of Rey Mysterio hits and the American Airlines Arena explodes when the WWE Champion made his way to the ring.
Mysterio: I don’t know what I’m in for? Dave, you and I have known eachother a long time, hell, we’ve been WWE Tag Team Champions together. I know exactly how you are and exactly how you act. You come out here talking all big and don’t think I’m anything, but you know that I have beaten some of the toughest guys in the business like Triple H, Cena, Edge, the list goes on. Now, I know you’ve beaten them too, but that doesn’t make you better than me. Dave, we’ve been friends for a long time, after this Sunday, we still will be friends, and I still will be WWE Champion (the fans go nuts anticipating the WWE Championship Match).
JR: What words from both the challenger, Batista, and our WWE Champion, Rey Mysterio.
King: Oh, I can’t wait for Night of Champions, JR, it’s gonna be great!! I’m getting word that John Morrison is backstage with Eric Bischoff and there is important business being taken care of, let’s listen in!
Bischoff: John, how are you? Hey, congratulations on the big victory tonight, pal. What can I do for you?
Morrison: Well, Mr. Bischoff, you know how I have that future WWE Title Match?
Bischoff: Yeah, I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Morrison: Well, next week, RAW is in my hometown, Los Angles, CA and, well, I want to use my WWE Title opportunity there.
Bischoff: You got it, next week, John Morrison will face either Batista or Rey Mysterio for the WWE Championship.
Morrison: Thank you Mr. Bischoff, and I will become the NEW WWE Champion (fans start to cheer).
Triple H then comes into Bischoffs office looking very upset. Morrison and Triple H stare eachother down as they pass ways.
Triple H: Did you see that out there, Eric?! Matt Hardy just randomly attacked Shawn, that’s ridiculous! They should be stripped of the belts tonight!
Bischoff: Now that’s something I won’t do, but what I will do is this. If anyone attacks you in your match coming up next, then The Hardyz will be stripped of the World Tag Team Titles (fans start to boo).
Triple H: Good call, Eric, smart move.
Bischoff: You didn’t let me finish, Hunter. You see, if anyone attacks Jeff during the match, you and Shawn lose your World Tag Team Title Match at Night of Champions and if you don’t think I can get a replacement for DX, TRY ME! Now get out, you got a match to go to in about oh, after this commercial break, now, GET OUT!!

EXTREME RULES MATCH
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION JEFF HARDY VS. TRIPLE H[/u]
The match starts with Triple H laughing at Jeff and then went for the “suck it” but Jeff hit a Low Blow before he could finish. Jeff then rolled out of the ring and threw a chair into the ring. Jeff then slid in with a second chair. Jeff threw the chair he slid in with at Triple H and nailed him in the face. Jeff then picked up the second chair and tossed it to Triple H and Triple H caught it and Hardy Drop Kicked it into Triple H. Jeff then took him down with a DDT (fans start to chant *Hardy*).
Jeff rolls back to the outside and gets a table and bring it in and sets it up in the corner. Jeff turns around and sees Triple H struggling to get up. Jeff thought he’d end the match there with a Twist of Fate onto the chair, but Triple H pushed him off. Jeff turned around and got tackled through the table he set up by Triple H. Both men were down for a while until Triple H got to his feet first. Triple H went to the outside and tossed in the steel steps. Jeff was getting back up only to get knocked back down with a hard Closeline. Triple H then brought Jeff back up and took him onto the steel steps. Triple H went for the Pedigree, but Jeff flipped him over his back. Jeff ran up the steps and jumped off them to the top rope and then jumped off the top rope and hit the Whisper in the Wind on Triple H.
Jeff went back to the outside and grabbed a burlap sack and brought it into the ring. Jeff opened it and poured tacks all over then ring. Jeff then picked up Triple H and again went for the Twist of Fate, but Triple H went to his knees and Low Blowed Jeff and then hit a Spinebuster onto the tacks (the fans start to chant holy sh*t). Both men were down for a good while, Jeff lay motionless. Triple H finally rolled to the outside, went under the ring and got his signature weapon, the sledgehammer. Triple H came in while Jeff was getting to his feet and nailed Jeff in the gut with the sledgehammer and then over the back of his neck. Triple H wasn’t done yet.
Triple H went back outside and grabbed yet another table and slid it into the ring. Triple H set it up and went on top of it with Jeff. Triple H got Jeff in a Pedigree, but Jeff got out of it and kicked Triple H in the gut. Jeff then threw Triple H off the table with a Hip Toss and Triple H landed in the pile of tacks Jeff was in. Jeff jumped down from the table, went to the top rope and hit the Swanton Bomb for the win.
WINNER: JEFF HARDY[/u]
JR: Oh my god! Those two men need medical attention right now, what an intense fight those two men just had!
King: Wait, you mean they’re still alive?! That was insane! And ECW says they’re extreme?! Take a look at this match, THAT is extreme.
JR: (looking back at footage) Oh King, I thought Triple had the match went he Spinebustered Jeff onto the tacks, but he wanted to do more damage.
King: Look at those shots with the sledgehammer, JR, those could’ve broken some ribs.
JR: Then Jeff threw Triple H off the table into the tacks and hit the Swanton to seal the deal! What a match, what a night! Ladies and Gentlemen, join us this Sunday at Night of Champions, for King and for all the fans here in Miami, thanks for joining us everyone, and see you at Night of Champions.
**the show opens with a pyrotechnic display as we come to you at home from the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL and we start the show off in the ring with DX**
Triple H: Miami, I got a question for you. Are you ready? (the fans start to boo). No Miami, I SAID…
Michaels: Hunter, it’s not even worth it, these fans don’t deserve anything.
Triple H: You’re right (fans boo), anyways last week, you all saw the reuniting of D-Generation X and you all loved every second of it (fans start to chant *DX Sucks*). The reason why Shawn and I got back together is because we couldn’t take getting underused and getting pushed around by guys who didn’t deserve anything.
Michaels: That’s where The Hardyz come into play (fans go crazy). You see, Matt stuck his nose where it didn’t belong. Matt, you don’t know how to keep your mouth shut after somebody gets denied something they want so dearly, and you paid the consequences because tonight, Matt Hardy will not be here (fans start to boo). Mr. Bischoff also said that if Matt Hardy cannot make Night of Champions, Jeff Hardy will have to defend the World Tag Team Titles against DX in a Handicap Match.
Triple H: Speaking of Jeff, Jeff, you need to learn a little word we like to use, and that is respect. You didn’t show me any respect last week so I retaliated and cost you your Intercontinental Championship Match as Night of Champions. Do I fell sorry for that? No, not really. Jeff, you’re nothing more than a screw up, a screw up like these fans will for some reason cheer for (the fans started to chant *Hardy Hardy Hardy*).
Michaels: Maybe all the fans realized they’re just like Jeff Hardy, a screw up that will never accomplish anything.
Triple H: Yeah, that’s right Shawn, and later tonight, Jeff and I have an Extreme Rules Match (the fans start to cheer), and tonight, I end the pointless career of Jeff Hardy.
Just then the music of Jeff Hardy hits and the fans in Miami explode.
Jeff came through the crowd and attacked DX from behind. Jeff made his way to the rope and nailed a Flying Closeline on HBK. Jeff then Dropkicked Triple H. Hardy then went over and hit a Twist of Fate on Shawn Michaels. Jeff then went back to the top rope to go for the Swanton Bomb, but before Jeff could go for it, Triple H dragged Shawn out of the ring away from harms way. The fans went crazy and started to cheer Hardy as they anticipate the main event of RAW, an Extreme Rules Match between Triple H and one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Jeff Hardy.
King: Did you see that? What a cheap shot by Jeff Hardy.
JR: Are you serious King? That is no different than Triple H coming in last week and hitting the Pedigree on Hardy. To me that’s just getting even.
King: Maybe so, but I still feel that Jeff’s a crook.
JR: You’re never happy are you? Well Ladies and Gentlemen coming up next, it’s Carlito’s Cabana and he has a special guest to talk to.
(Commercial)
We return to see Shawn Michaels and Triple H in the back as John Morrison walks in their locker room.
Triple H: What the hell do you want John? Can’t you see were busy?
Morrison: You know, I just wanted to come by and tell you both how ridiculous you’re both being. Attacking the Hardyz just because they showed you no respect? You two have been here for a long time, you should let the younger superstars, like myself, shine since you both are past your prime.
Michaels: Past our prime? You know what, Johnny Boy? It seems like you don’t know the meaning of the word respect either so how bout, later on tonight, you get in the ring with “The Heart Break Kid”?
Morrison: Shawn, you’re on (fans start to cheer)! One thing before I leave. You’re no longer a kid, your more of a “Heart Break Grandpa” Captain High Pants.
Morrison walked out of the locker room with a furiated Michaels and Triple H.
CARLITO’S CABANA[/u]
Carlito: Good evening, and welcome to Carlito’s Cabana where the ladies are fly and all there men cry…..since they are with Carlito. Anyways, last week, I won the Fatal-Four Way to go on to Night of Champions to face Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Title. I must say I am pretty good and pretty cool (fans start to boo and chant *You’re Not Cool!). At Night of Champions, I will go on to become once again the Intercontinental Champion, so my guest at this time is…….ME! So Carlito how do you feel? ‘I feel pretty good Carlito thanks for asking.’ No problem, what do you think of your former partner, Mr. Kennedy? ‘He’s a piece of….’
Just then Kennedy’s music hit to interrupt Carlito (fans start to cheer).
Kennedy: Blah Blah Blah, that’s all I hear Carlito. You see, you say you carried our team back in the day, but from what I remember, you were the one laid out every match and I always picked up the win. Now, getting back to last week, you say you won the match all by yourself. So I guess you have 2 matches tonight since you say you’re HBK and Triple H as well, but that’s where you’re wrong. You’re not Triple H or Shawn Michaels, and you do have a match here tonight, and that’s right now against me (fans start to cheer as Kennedy makes his way down to the ring)!
KEN KENNEDY VS. CARLITO[/u]
The match starts with Carlito screaming at Kennedy but then Kennedy just slaps Carlito in the face and starts unloading on him with lefts and rights until he knocks Carlito down with an Uppercut. Then Kennedy gets on top of Carlito and just keeps hitting him until the ref pulls him off (the fans start to cheer *Kennedy*).Kennedy then brings Carlito up in a Head Lock and starts kneeing him in the gut.

King: Oh wait JR, look who it is!
The music of the Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin hit as Kennedy was celebrating.
Benjamin: That was a pretty good match Mr. Kennedy…….Kennedy. You just beat the man who’s supposed to face me at Night of Champions for my Intercontinental Title, so does that make you #1 Contender (fans start to cheer)? Well, like Bischoff said to Michaels last week, no (fans start to boo), but I can do this. At Night of Champions, I feel that you deserve a title shot, but Carlito is facing me there. In my contract, it doesn’t say I can’t add people (fans start to cheer). So at Night of Champions, it will now be a Triple Threat Match for my Intercontinental Championship as I defend it against Carlito and Mr. Kennedy!
JR: What an announcement! It’s now going to be a Triple Threat Match and these fans are going crazy!
King: What a fighting champion JR, any other guy would say no more, just one on one, but Benjamin has those guts a champion needs. I can’t wait for Night of Champions!

We come back to RAW and see Todd Grisham and RAW GM Eric Bischoff talking about the confirmation of the Triple Threat Match for Night of Champions as Triple H bursts in the door.
Bischoff: Ah, Triple H, what can I do for you? Aren’t you supposed to be getting ready for your match later tonight?
Triple H: Listen, Eric. You need to take care of your young talent. Morrison and the Hardyz are just a bunch of punks that think they can go around and do whatever they want, and I won’t stand for it! Jeff may not make it to Sunday, I just wanted to come in and tell you that.
Bischoff: Strong words from a man who hasn’t won in 2 weeks. You know what, you and Shawn are making me sick, and that’s why I did this, since people are adding on to their matches, at Night of Champions, The Hardyz vs. DX for the World Tag Team Titles will be a TLC Match!
Triple H looks angered and storms out of Bischoff’s office.
“THE HEART BREAK KID” SHAWN MICHAELS VS. JOHN MORRISON[/u]
The match starts with HBK going to slap Morrison in the face, but Morrison catches HBK’s arm before he can get to him and just starts hitting Michaels until they make it to the ropes. Morrison throws Michaels off the ropes and catches Michaels with a Big Back Body Drop. Morrison then hit a Leg Drop and then got right back up and did a Spinning Leg Drop and went for the cover only to get a 2 count. Morrison then brought Shawn up and went for a Suplex, but Shawn stopped it and started to chop away on Morrison. Michaels then took Morrison down with a Closeline. HBK went for a Suplex but Morrison went behind Michaels and hit a Neckbreaker on one half of DX.
Morrison then locks in a Head Lock on Shawn Michaels. After a while, Michaels gets to his feet, with Morrison with the Head Lock on Shawn, HBK elbows Morrison in the gut until he lets go and then hits a DDT on the Monday Night Delight. Michaels waited for Morrison to get back to his feet and then hit an Atomic Drop and took down Morrison with a Closeline. Morrison got back up and HBK hit another Atomic Drop.

Michaels went for the Sweet Chin Music, but Morrison ducked and HBK turned around into a Super Kick from John Morrison. Morrison then got up and hit a Standing Shooting Star Press to clinch the victory.
WINNER: JOHN MORRISON[/u]

Hardy came running into the ring through the crowd and tackled Shawn Michaels to the ground and started letting it all out with punches to Shawn’s head, just as Michaels did to Hardy last week. Hardy got up from Shawn’s body and threw his beater into the crowd (fans start to cheer). Matt stocked Shawn as he got to his feet and hit the Twist of Fate!
JR: Can you believe this, King?! Listen to the roar of these fans here in Miami! There going absolutely crazy for Matt Hardy!
King: What a cowardly move, coming in through the crowd, that’s awful on Matt’s part.
JR: Oh and what DX did last week wasn’t? They deserve all the pain and suffering they go through tonight and what they have coming for them in a TLC Match this Sunday at Night of Champions.
We cut backstage to see Batista walking in the hall as Todd Grisham stops him.
Grisham: Dave, what are you doing? You’re not scheduled in a match tonight.
Batista: Oh thank you Todd I didn’t know that (being sarcastic). I’m going out to the ring to talk about Night of Champions so excuse me.

We return to see Batista in the ring with a mic.
Batista: ME-A-ME what is up?! (fans start to cheer) This Sunday is Night of Champions, where every title is on the line, from the WWE Championship, to the not so important ECW Championship (fans start to laugh). Speaking of the WWE Championship Match at Night of Champions, you guys, it is the most important match in my career. I will finally regain the WWE Championship (some fans cheer, some fans boo). Ever since I was drafted here to RAW from SmackDown! All I’ve wanted to do is become the WWE Champion. Sure, I met obstacles, like having to go through Triple H first, but now, it’s my time, and Rey, buddy, you don’t know what you’ve got yourself into!
The music of Rey Mysterio hits and the American Airlines Arena explodes when the WWE Champion made his way to the ring.
Mysterio: I don’t know what I’m in for? Dave, you and I have known eachother a long time, hell, we’ve been WWE Tag Team Champions together. I know exactly how you are and exactly how you act. You come out here talking all big and don’t think I’m anything, but you know that I have beaten some of the toughest guys in the business like Triple H, Cena, Edge, the list goes on. Now, I know you’ve beaten them too, but that doesn’t make you better than me. Dave, we’ve been friends for a long time, after this Sunday, we still will be friends, and I still will be WWE Champion (the fans go nuts anticipating the WWE Championship Match).
JR: What words from both the challenger, Batista, and our WWE Champion, Rey Mysterio.
King: Oh, I can’t wait for Night of Champions, JR, it’s gonna be great!! I’m getting word that John Morrison is backstage with Eric Bischoff and there is important business being taken care of, let’s listen in!
Bischoff: John, how are you? Hey, congratulations on the big victory tonight, pal. What can I do for you?
Morrison: Well, Mr. Bischoff, you know how I have that future WWE Title Match?
Bischoff: Yeah, I know exactly what you’re talking about.
Morrison: Well, next week, RAW is in my hometown, Los Angles, CA and, well, I want to use my WWE Title opportunity there.
Bischoff: You got it, next week, John Morrison will face either Batista or Rey Mysterio for the WWE Championship.
Morrison: Thank you Mr. Bischoff, and I will become the NEW WWE Champion (fans start to cheer).
Triple H then comes into Bischoffs office looking very upset. Morrison and Triple H stare eachother down as they pass ways.
Triple H: Did you see that out there, Eric?! Matt Hardy just randomly attacked Shawn, that’s ridiculous! They should be stripped of the belts tonight!
Bischoff: Now that’s something I won’t do, but what I will do is this. If anyone attacks you in your match coming up next, then The Hardyz will be stripped of the World Tag Team Titles (fans start to boo).
Triple H: Good call, Eric, smart move.
Bischoff: You didn’t let me finish, Hunter. You see, if anyone attacks Jeff during the match, you and Shawn lose your World Tag Team Title Match at Night of Champions and if you don’t think I can get a replacement for DX, TRY ME! Now get out, you got a match to go to in about oh, after this commercial break, now, GET OUT!!

EXTREME RULES MATCH
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION JEFF HARDY VS. TRIPLE H[/u]
The match starts with Triple H laughing at Jeff and then went for the “suck it” but Jeff hit a Low Blow before he could finish. Jeff then rolled out of the ring and threw a chair into the ring. Jeff then slid in with a second chair. Jeff threw the chair he slid in with at Triple H and nailed him in the face. Jeff then picked up the second chair and tossed it to Triple H and Triple H caught it and Hardy Drop Kicked it into Triple H. Jeff then took him down with a DDT (fans start to chant *Hardy*).
Jeff rolls back to the outside and gets a table and bring it in and sets it up in the corner. Jeff turns around and sees Triple H struggling to get up. Jeff thought he’d end the match there with a Twist of Fate onto the chair, but Triple H pushed him off. Jeff turned around and got tackled through the table he set up by Triple H. Both men were down for a while until Triple H got to his feet first. Triple H went to the outside and tossed in the steel steps. Jeff was getting back up only to get knocked back down with a hard Closeline. Triple H then brought Jeff back up and took him onto the steel steps. Triple H went for the Pedigree, but Jeff flipped him over his back. Jeff ran up the steps and jumped off them to the top rope and then jumped off the top rope and hit the Whisper in the Wind on Triple H.
Jeff went back to the outside and grabbed a burlap sack and brought it into the ring. Jeff opened it and poured tacks all over then ring. Jeff then picked up Triple H and again went for the Twist of Fate, but Triple H went to his knees and Low Blowed Jeff and then hit a Spinebuster onto the tacks (the fans start to chant holy sh*t). Both men were down for a good while, Jeff lay motionless. Triple H finally rolled to the outside, went under the ring and got his signature weapon, the sledgehammer. Triple H came in while Jeff was getting to his feet and nailed Jeff in the gut with the sledgehammer and then over the back of his neck. Triple H wasn’t done yet.
Triple H went back outside and grabbed yet another table and slid it into the ring. Triple H set it up and went on top of it with Jeff. Triple H got Jeff in a Pedigree, but Jeff got out of it and kicked Triple H in the gut. Jeff then threw Triple H off the table with a Hip Toss and Triple H landed in the pile of tacks Jeff was in. Jeff jumped down from the table, went to the top rope and hit the Swanton Bomb for the win.
WINNER: JEFF HARDY[/u]
JR: Oh my god! Those two men need medical attention right now, what an intense fight those two men just had!
King: Wait, you mean they’re still alive?! That was insane! And ECW says they’re extreme?! Take a look at this match, THAT is extreme.
JR: (looking back at footage) Oh King, I thought Triple had the match went he Spinebustered Jeff onto the tacks, but he wanted to do more damage.
King: Look at those shots with the sledgehammer, JR, those could’ve broken some ribs.
JR: Then Jeff threw Triple H off the table into the tacks and hit the Swanton to seal the deal! What a match, what a night! Ladies and Gentlemen, join us this Sunday at Night of Champions, for King and for all the fans here in Miami, thanks for joining us everyone, and see you at Night of Champions.
