Smackdown
The pyro’s go off in the arena and the cameras show the arena, which is sold out.
Mike Tenay: Welcome to Smackdown everybody. I’m here in the sold out arena with my colleague Michael Cole.
Michael Cole: Well Mike tonight is going to be a big night for Smackdown. We already have six matches booked for tonight.
Mike Tenay: Yes it will be a big night because also our new General Manager will be revealed by Vince McMahon.
Michael Cole: Well I’ve just heard Mike that we are going backstage now to Vince McMahon’s office.
Vince McMahon: Thank You Mike and Michael. Now I know everybody wants to know whom the new General Manager of the Smackdown is. Well the General Manager of Smackdown is…………….Stephanie McMahon.
Stephanie McMahon’s music hits in the arena and out walks the billion dollar princess.
Stephanie McMahon: Thank You Daddy. Now to business, I am changing tonight’s card. Tonight’s main event will be the Undertaker and Kane teaming up to face the WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero and Goldberg. Ric Flair will be taking on Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels will take on the Big Show and there will be a fatal four-way match between DDP, Rikishi, AJ Styles and Christian to determine the number one contender for the United States Title.
Stephanie McMahon now leaves the arena.
Mike Tenay: Well what a change to the card. I wonder how Kane and Undertaker will cope teaming together a month after Undertaker beat Kane.
Michael Cole: I’m more interested in how Paul Bearer and Paul Heyman cope together.
Mike Tenay: That’s a good point. Well now we have our first match, involving Paul Heyman. It is Chris Kanyon, Scott Steiner an A-Train, Paul’s clients, taking on US Champion John Cena, Jerry Lynn and Rob Van Dam.

The match starts off fast with Kanyon and Lynn in the ring. It ends up in a flat out brawl. The referee is trying to separate Lynn and Kanyon and Rikishi runs to the ring. Rikishi enters and superkicks US Champion Cena down and then drops on Cena’s upper body.
Winners: A-Train, Chris Kanyon and Scott Steiner

Cena, RVD and Lynn help each other up and walk to the back. Cena is looking angry.
Backstage we see the UnAmericans talking.
William Regal: I can’t wait to get of this hell hole. I just hope that our match is next, then we can leave this country and return to Canada and England.
Lance Storm: Same here. I’m sick of American’s treating us badly, just because we’re not American. We’re WWE Tag Team champions though, and they still treat us like dirt.
La Resistance walk by now.
Rene Dupree: At least you are WWE Tag Team champions. I mean we have never been given a shot since we last lost the titles.
Sylvan Grenier: And it shows how bias American’s are against the French.
Kaientai and Yamaguchi San walk by now.
Yamaguchi San: At least you are given a chance. Taka Michinoku and Funaki haven’t had a Tag Team Title shot in three years.
Rikishi: Is this a private anti-America meeting or can anyone join.
William Regal: You are American.
Rikishi: I still hate this country. I’ve always been held back from everything, just because I am Samoan and not from Washington or somewhere. Maybe we should join forces.
Lance Storm: What do you mean?
Rikishi: Show our hatred for America as a group. That way we’ll be more effective than trying to prove out point alone.
William Regal: I think it’s a great idea, and I nominate Rikishi as our leader as he came up with the idea.
Rikishi: What shall we call ourselves?
Lance Storm: Team Freedom, fighting for the freedom of opportunities for none Americans.
Rikishi: It’s settled. I know a couple of other guys who might want to join us, I’ll go and talk with them.
Rikishi now leaves with Team Freedom still talking.

Rikishi celebrates and grabs the American flag he brought out and wipes it over his backside.
Mike Tenay: That’s disgusting. I hope Rikshi burns in hell.
Michael Cole: I just hope that John kicks his ass.
Stephanie McMahon walks to the ring with a microphone.
Stephanie McMahon: Hello again. Well first off all congratulations to Rikishi on winning the Number One Contenders match. Anyway I just thought of a stipulation for the main event, Eddie your title is on the line. If any cheating by Eddie and Goldberg occurs, Eddie loses his title and will not get a title shot again.
Stephanie McMahon now leaves too an uproar of boos.
Team Freedom is backstage and Rikishi walks in with Johnny Stamboli, Haku and the American Flag he had earlier. Rikishi tells La Resistance and the UnAmericans to stand up. Rikishi lays the American Flag on top of where they were sitting and then they sit on top of the American Flag. Rikishi says that Stamboli and Haku have been recruited and they cheer.
Mike Tenay: Again Rikishi disgusts me and the entire nation. Don’t forget next week John Cena will take on Rikishi, and I’m hoping Cena will kick Rikishi out of this country for good.
The cameras cut back to Eddie Guerrero who I looking very frustrated and he is looking for Goldberg. He finds Goldberg’s locker room and bursts in, but Goldberg isn’t there.
Backstage Team Freedom are celebrating and walking towards the ring.

Stephanie McMahon: Well done Kurt. Next week though you’ll face a 500 pound Big Show, lose and you are fired.
Kurt looks very angry and starts stomping Flair. Eventually 5 referees and backstage personnel have to come out to stop Kurt attacking Flair. EMT’s then rush out and carry Flair to the back on a stretcher as Flair is screaming very loudly in pain.
Backstage Stephanie is with Big Show.
Stephanie McMahon: Big Show, I know you can destroy Angle next week. Prove it tonight by beating Shawn Michaels, oh and if you do you’ll get a trip to a five star hotel for you and your girlfriend.
