JR-AJ Sensational has shown a lot of talent since coming to the EMF.

King-Including talent for flowers.

Kris Gaffney-He’s improved his mad flower skills since though.

[AJ Sensational and Big Zak are in the middle of the ring. It seems that Rick Ranger is going to wait on the outside of the ring. Rick Ranger seeing that the stare down between AJ Sensational is taking a while, he see’s a chance to climb up on the apron.

JR-What power by Big Zak.

Kris Gaffney-Rick Ranger is going to need to think of something better.

King-This is a hardcore match you know.

[Almost like he heard him, Rick Ranger goes to the outside of the ring, and he grabs his baseball bat, but Big Zak saw him, he grabs him by the hair, and he tries to bring him into the ring, but Rick Ranger uses the bat.

AJ Senstional realizing that probably won’t get the pin on that move alone he hits a few mounted fists to the face. The ref starts to complain about the closed fists, but he doesn’t stop because the ref can’t do anything about it.]

JR-This is 100% legal.

King-And AJ knows it.

Kris Gaffney-Guess it’s good that he knows the rules.

(Miss Jackie comes out onto the ramp without music, because she still isn't employed by the EMF. She makes her way down the ramp as the steel cage lowers around the ring.)

JR: Miss Jackie isn't allowed to sign a contract to compete in the EMF until Tiffany agrees to it.

King: Tiffany has said that win or lose, Jackie can return after tonight.

Kris: But if she loses, she will be Tiffany's slave.

("Insatiable" plays over the PA System as Tiffany comes out onto the ramp, with Trish Stratus behind her.)

JR: Tiffany holds all the cards in their feud.

King: Not if she loses.

Kris: I feel she has something up her sleeve.

(Tiffany steps inside the cage, but takes a microphone. She addresses the live crowd before the match starts.)

Tiffany: You know... since I announced this match for tonight, a lot of people have been questioning my judgement. They point out that win or lose, Jackie is returning to the EMF tonight, which I shouldn't let her do. But what you people need to realise, is what I've already told you. Jackie is more use to me here, as part of the doll house, than she is sat at home, getting fat. And what you also need to realise, is I wouldn't have welcomed her here, without a plan. You see Jackie, last month, I proved I can beat you. I know I can beat you. But I also respect you are one of the best ever. So of course, I have an insurance policy. And no, it's not Trish Stratus. But I have something that I know can take your head out of the game. Take a look over there.... take a look at the cage wall. Notice that nice little dent on the outside wall? This isn't any cage Jackie. This is the very cage that John Cena rammed your head into, the day your life fell apart! If that doesn't mess with your head... I don't know what will. This is where your world crumbled... and tonight... it's where you take another huge dent to your career and legacy.

(Jackie looks angry and charges at Tiffany, but it's wreckless, and Tiffany is able to grab her and hurl her headfirst into the cage wall. The door is closed and locked and the bell sounds. Jackie bounces off the cage hard and looks hurt. Tiffany hammers away with hard right hands to her. She grabs hold of Jackie and again throws her head into the wall. She grates Jackie's face against the wall and Jackie is clearly in pain. Eventually Tiffany pulls her off the cage wall and throws her across the ring towards the ropes. Jackie holds onto the ropes and doesn't bounce off. Tiffany runs at her but Jackie catches her with a kick to the midsection. Tiffany stumbles back and Jackie hits a big DDT. Jackie waits for Tiffany to stumble up and then tries to throw Tiffany into the cage wall. Tiffany blocks it with her hands. She turns as Jackie charges at her and Tiffany hits a big back body drop and Jackie bounces off the cage wall before landing on the ropes.)

JR: Tiffany is using the steel to good effect so far.

King: She probably knew about this plan long before Jackie. I expect she's practiced for this.

Kris: Smart strategy really.

(Jackie is now laying on the may clutching her back. Tiffany climbs to the top rope and seeing that Jackie hasn't moved, begins to make her way up the cage wall. As Tiffany makes her way up the cage Jackie climbs to her feet and goes up after her. Jackie grabs Tiffany by the leg and starts tugging at her. Eventually she grabs Tiffany around the midsection and then is able to pull her off the cage and hit a backdrop that sends Tiffany crashing to the mat. Jackie is down too but uses the ropes to pull herself to her feet. Tiffany is trying to get up but Jackie scoops her up and positions her for the F-Off. Tiffany grabs hold of the cage wall to prevent Jackie hitting the move. She's able to escape and drop down behind Jackie and then Jackie turns and Tiffany nails her with the TNT! Tiffany makes her way over towards the door and the referee opens it. She goes to step outside but Jackie tries to get up to go after her. Tiffany steps through the ropes but Jackie is there and grabs hold of her. Jackie throws Tiffany hard into the cage door. Tiffany stumbles and Jackie grabs her to stop her falling to the floor. Jackie picks her up over the ropes and hits a big suplex back into the ring. Jackie makes her way over towards the door, but as she gets there, Trish Stratus slams the cage door on her. Jackie stumbles back and into an instintive TNT! Both girls are down.)

JR: Tiffany just hit her finisher for the 2nd time... but both girls are down.

(Tiffany is first to her feet and she picks Jackie up. She positions Jackie and she rams her head first into the cage wall. She holds her to stop her going down, and then hits her head into the cage again, and again. Tiffany lets Jackie stumble and then leaps looking for the TNT again. Jackie still has enough about her to push Tiffany off and Tiffany crashes into the mat. Jackie is stumbling but composes herself and as Tiffany gets up she throws her across the ring and Tiffany bounces off the ropes and Jackie hits a big boot. She then runs off the ropes and hits the Leg Drop of DOOOOOM! Jackie is holding her head but fighting on instinct. She waits for Tiffany to stumble up and then positions her for the F-Off. She goes for the move but Tiffany twists in the air and counters it straight into a TNT! The crowd seem stunned and so does Tiffany. But she laughs as if this was planned. Tiffany makes her way across the ring to the door. It's opened again but Jackie hasn't moved and clearly has a head injury. Tiffany is able to climb out of the ring and drop to the floor to win the match.)

JR: Tiffany had to throw everything at Jackie to get the job done, including an insane counter, and an assist from Trish Stratus.

King: I think we can forget about that, what chance did Jackie have after she missed the F-Off again?

Kris: It doesn't matter either way, I don't think Jackie had her head in the game from the off.

(Tiffany and Trish are laughing on the outside. Jackie is just about recovering and looks horrified, knowing she's now aligned with these 2. Tiffany and Trish leave as their music plays.)

("Shipping up to Boston" blasts on the PA system as Marcus O'Hara walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Last week wasn't the best of weeks for Marcus O'Hara.

King-He was impressive in the battle royal, but didn't get exactly rewarded for his efforts.

Kris Gaffney-Unless being attacked by Bray Wyatt is a reward.

("I want it all" blasts on the PA system as Jay Voltage walks to the ring, and he steps inisde of the ring.)

JR-Marcus O'Hara kicks out.

King-I guess he wasn't going to let this match end so easily.

Kris Gaffney-I would hope not.

Jay Voltage looks surprised that Marcus O'Hara kicked out with such authority, so he decides that it’s time to go for a high risk move as he climbs out of the ring, and on to the apron, he waits for Marcus O'Hara to get up, and once he does. Marcus O'Hara turns towards him, and Jay Voltage leaps through the air for a flying cross body block, but it’s caught by Marcus O'Hara, Marcus O'Hara shakes his head a few moments, and then he hits a fall away slam. Marcus O'Hara takes a few moments to rest up, and once he gets up to his feet, Jay Voltage had already stumbled up, and thrown a wild fist to the face, which Marcus O'Hara blocks, and returns with a head butt.

JR-Once again a near fall.

King-Both are giving it all they have tonight.

Marcus O'Hara picks up Jay Voltage, and puts him over his shoulder, and charges at the corner, but Jay Voltage slides out of the back of Marcus O'Hara, and pushes Marcus O'Hara right into the ring post. Marcus O'Hara pulls himself out of the corner, and Jay Voltage rolls up Marcus O'Hara in a pinning combination with a bridge, and the ref counts the 1………….2………KICK OUT. Marcus O'Hara gets up to his feet, and argues the count. He turns around right into a kick to the face by Jay Voltage.

Syn turns around, and he hits a boot to the chair that puts him into the face of Nostalgia which puts him off of the apron. Syn picks up Brett Crane, and he hits a body slam on Brett Crane.]

JR-This might not be good for Brett Crane.

King-What gave you that idea?

Kris Gaffney-The fact he’s not winning right now?

[Syn climbs up to his feet, Nostalgia tries to attack Syn, but Syn hits a hard fist that knocks Nostalgia. Brett Crane lifts syn off of the second rope, and nails Vertigo on Syn. He goes into the cover on Syn, the ref counts the 1…………2………….Nostalgia comes into the ring with a chair and hits Brett Crane with it breaking up the three count. Nostalgia throws him out of the ring. Nostalgia goes into the cover on Syn, the ref counts the 1…………2……….3!]

JR-Quick thinking by Nostalgia got him the win, and the Extreme championship!

("Light It Up" plays over the PA System as AJ Lee skips out onto the ramp. She isn't holding the EMF Women's Championship, however, as it is hanging above the ring, ready for the ladder match.)

JR: AJ Lee, for some reason, decided to put her title up in a Ladder match, but we don't know her opponent.

King: It's surely Mickie James?

Kris: Why? She already had her rematch.

(AJ Lee takes a microphone to address the crowd.)

AJ Lee: You know, a couple of days ago I got a call from John Cena, telling me I was to defend the EMF Women's Championship tonight. At first, I thought this was a little unfair. I mean, it was only 8 days ago that I had to defend it against Mickie James, and I retained it. Sure... Mickie technically "Won" the match, but is she the champion? No! I am! But that did leave me in a position where people were doubting if I deserved it. So I told John I was happy to come out and defend it, but only on my terms. Firstly, I made clear my opponent would NOT be Mickie James. Secondly, I wanted it to be a match people would remember. I mean, who's going to remember me making that slut Candice tap out to the Black Widow in 2 minutes if it happens the same night Tiffany and Jackie fight in a cage? So I asked for a ladder match! Cena told me he wasn't going to name Candice Michelle as number 1 contender. Supposedly, she's done nothing to earn it. So the only way I can get the match I want is by issuing an open challenge. But I've kind of skewed the odds. See, I left a trail of cakes leading from her dressing room to the ramp, meaning if I know Candice... she should be right behind that curtain just about now. So come on Candice, get your overweight ass out here and let's settle our differences, and see who deserves to be the champion, and to be Troy's wife.

(AJ paces back and forth, and waits. Cameras go backstage. We see Laura Cena is walking backstage, looking disgusted as she picks up the cakes on the floor and puts them in a garbage can. AJ looks confused. Suddenly "With Legs Like That" plays on the PA System and Maria Kanellis comes out to cheers from the crowd. She grabs a ladder and slides into the ring and the bell sounds. AJ watches on confused as Maria sets up the ladder and just starts to climb it. Maria gets about halfway up before AJ pulls her down, back into the ring. Maria looks at her confused. AJ is still holding the microphone.)

AJ Lee: What do you think you're doing? Even if you are now my official opponent.... did you think I would just let you go up there and take my title?

Maria: Oh.... I thought you needed help getting the title back. How did it get up there? I was watching you backstage thinking "Silly AJ... talking isn't going to get your title down". I really don't know what you were saying, I was too busy watching Laura clean up the mess you made. She's done a great job, but I guess the last thing we need to retrieve is your title....

AJ Lee: I... I....

(AJ doesn't know what to say, and then just socks Maria with the microphone. Maria goes down and AJ measures her. Maria starts to stumble up and AJ runs and hits a shining wizard that sends Maria out of the ring. The ladder is already in position and AJ goes over to it. She starts to climb it with ease. Maria has barely moved on the outside. AJ gets to the top of the ladder and grabs hold of the title but suddenly Candice Michelle is in the ring. Candice gets an evil look in her eye and then tips the ladder over. AJ goes crashing from the top of the ladder to the outside, landing hard next to Maria. Candice smiles and slides out of the ring. She stands over AJ and does the Go Daddy dance to cheers from the crowd before leaving.)

JR: This might be the oddest start to a match we've ever seen....

King: It's got to be up there.

Kris: Does Maria even know this is a match?

(Both girls are still down on the otuside but Maria stirs first and pulls herself up to her feet. She looks at AJ who is still down and looks confused. She then looks up at the title, and then at the ladder. The referee comes over and seems to be telling her she's officially in a title match. Maria nods and slides into the ring. She then proceeds to remove the ladder from the ring. She then goes outside and throws AJ into the ring. She hooks the leg, much to everyone's confusion. The referee has to again explain, and point up at the belt. Maria looks at him confused and is getting angry he didn't count. AJ takes the time to pull herself up behind Maria. She grabs hold of her and throws her hard into the ring post through the turnbuckle. Maria hits it shoulder first and bounces out in pain. AJ takes her down with a suplex and then slides out of the ring to retrieve the ladder. AJ slides it into the ring and then climbs in and picks it up again. She sets the ladder up but Maria is stirring. She measures Maria for another Shining Wizard but this time Maria dives out of the way. AJ falls down and then Maria picks her up and nails a quick DDT. She waits for AJ to get up and hits some hard right hands to her. She throws her across the ring and then nails a neckbreaker. Maria calls for her finisher.)

JR: I think Maria finally understands the concept....

King: I wouldn't bank on it.

(AJ stumbles up and Maria hits her with the Beautiful Bulldog! Maria looks up at the title. She starts to climb the ladder which AJ has set up. AJ starts to pull herself up. Maria once more gets about half way up but AJ is now standing. Maria notices this and knows AJ can tip the ladder over. Maria therefore turns round and positions herself. She leaps off the ladder from about half way, looking for a crossbody, but AJ catches her. AJ puts her on her shoulders but before we find out what she's planning Maria escapes out the back. Maria drops to the mat and slides out of the ring. AJ watches her and Maria goes over and grabs a chair from ringside. She slides into the ring with it but AJ positions her and hits a DDT and Maria drops the chair. AJ then picks it up and measures Maria. AJ is clearly still feeling the effects from her fall and isn't 100% but she hits Maria with the chair and Maria goes down. AJ then starts to slowly climb the ladder.)

JR: That should do it. Maria was never the most durable superstar...

(AJ is taking a while to climb and Maria actually is able to get back to her feet. She looks up at AJ and decides that AJ is climbing slowly enough and makes her way round to the other side of the ladder. Maria begins to climb too. Both girls are fairly slow but Maria makes up ground. Eventully they both get to the top at pretty much the same time. They both reach up for the title, and then realise that the other one is there. Maria throws a shot to the face of AJ, and AJ returns it. They hit a few shots on eachother but can't knock eachother down. Maria then goes for the title again. She pulls it away from AJ and begins to unhook it. AJ reaches across and is able to get a hand on the belt. Maria tries to swing the belt at AJ but AJ clings onto it hard. Both girls are gripping the title and looking like they want to figure a way to get the other one down when suddenly the belt comes unhooked. Both girls are holding the title so the bell doesn't ring. Maria uses her free hand to hit AJ and AJ loses her balance but so does Maria. Both girls fall off to the side of the ladder. They both hit the mat, but they are both still holding the belt when they do. The referee doesn't know what to do. Both girls start tugging on the belt but neither will let go. AJ goes for a kick but Maria just sidesteps it. They are both shouting something at the other and keep trying to cheap shot the other but both girls are focusing on keeping a grip on the title. Eventually AJ goes to leave the ring. Maria won't let her. Maria tells her to let go of the belt if she wants to leave. AJ refuses. In the end they have to leave the ring together and head for the back.)

JR: So... who won?

King: Both of them?

Kris: Neither of them?

(We follow the girls backstage where Josh Matthews approaches them.)

Josh: Maria... AJ... I've just had word from John Cena, he says this match is still going, and the winner will be the last one holding the title.

AJ Lee: Well... I think we both knew that Josh... and....

(She stops talking to suddenly yank the belt, but Maria won't let go still.)

Maria: HEY! Knock it off. This is my belt.

AJ Lee: No it isn't.... I'm the champion. Just let go. I'll give you another shot.

Maria: No, you let go, and I'll give you your rematch.

AJ Lee: That's stupid. Then I'll beat you and you'll be the worst champion ever.

Maria: Oh just like you beat me tonight?

AJ Lee: YES! Once you let go I will have.

Maria: Well, I won't let go... and you know why? Because....

(Maria stops talking this time to yank the belt, but AJ keeps hold.)

AJ: OK... OK.... look.... let's sit down, and figure this out. We need to come up with some rules.

Maria: What kind of rules?

AJ Lee: Look... the champion is whoever is holding the belt last, right? This is like an endurance test. So let's let it be that. We'll both hold on for as long as possible. No more trying to pull it free. No sneaks attacks. The loser will be whoever gives up first.... agreed?

Maria: Fine, I agree. You know this could go on for days?

AJ Lee: I know, that's why we need some ground rules. Like rule number 1.... No sex.

Maria: Wait... no sex with each other? Or at all?

AJ Lee: Eww... that hadn't even crossed my mind. You think I want to watch you have sex with Jericho? I mean no sex.... period.

Maria: Too much information AJ.... I don't need to know it's your time of the month.

AJ Lee: No... it's.... oh God... what have I gotten into?

Maria: Well it happens every month, I thought you'd be used to it by now.

AJ Lee: Just shut up will you.

Maria: Is that rule number 2?

AJ Lee: No. Rule number 2 is you stop being so stupid.

Maria: How do I do that?

AJ Lee: No idea.

Maria: Well, I guess our night's over... let's head home.

AJ Lee: Home? Where exactly is home? I'm going back with Troy... I don't know about you.

Maria: Good luck with that. You're not going anywhere without me.

AJ Lee: Like hell am I bringing you into Troy's house. I already have Candice to compete with, without bringing you into our bed, or him seeing you naked by mistake just because you're stupid enough to get caught.

Maria: What makes you think want you coming to where I live?

AJ Lee: Where DO you live?

Maria: Who knows?

AJ Lee: You.... hopefully.

Maria: Well, sometimes I stay with Jericho, but what makes you think I want you coming there? He has his kids, you'd scare them.

AJ Lee: Well where do you suggest?

Maria: We could always stay with John Cena. He has enough room... and it's not like he hasn't seen us both naked before anyway.

AJ Lee: Great plan, genius. How do I sell that one to my fiance? And how do you sell it to Jericho? And even if we could, you think Amy would like it? Don't get me wrong living with Amy for a few days would be a dream but not sure she'd like it.

Maria: Well, I don't see you coming up with any ideas.

AJ Lee: This is stupid. So stupid. Err... I have an idea. Think about this. Waterfalls.... dripping faucets... showers....

Maria: Yea not sure I want to live there.

AJ Lee: No you idiot. I'm going to make you need to pee... then you'll let go.

Maria: That won't work. My brain doesn't work that way. If you say Waterfalls I just think "Falls where?"

AJ Lee: Oh it's going to work alright.... I really need to pee.

Maria: Well, you know where the restrooms are. I'll wait here with my title.

AJ Lee: No way. You're coming with me. We're in this together... as much as I don't want to be.

Maria: This has to be the dumbest thing I've ever done....

AJ Lee: Trust me.... it isn't.

(The two of them head off with Josh just looking completely confused as they walk away still each clutching the title belt.)

(“For whom the bell tolls” blasts on the PA system as Apocalypse walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Apocalypse has a big chance here to become a champion.

King-It’s not going to be easy though. He’s made it clear he won’t compromise himself.

Kris Gaffney-Luckily the EMF, and their fans like Apocalypse for who he is.

[Death Jester grabs Apocalypse, and he goes for Radio Silence. Apocalypse tries to kick off Death Jester, he tries to get to the ropes.

JR-Apocalypse seems to have Death Jester where he wants him now.

King-He better know that isn’t something that is going to happen often.

Kris Gaffney-Maybe it will, Death Jester had his first taste of defeat you never know.

[Apocalypse waits for Death Jester to get up to his feet, and once he gets up to his feet. Apocalypse drops him for the End of Days.

(“Sandpaper” blasts on the PA system as Troy Gafgen walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Troy Gafgen is getting a new challenge here.

King-But he’s seen everything.

Kris Gaffney-Guess he shouldn’t have expected anything different from a PPV named “Dark Horizon”.

(“Hell awaits” blasts on the PA system as Shadow walks to the ring, he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Shadow says this has all been a plan.

King-Sure hope it’s not an Alex Salvatore, D-X level plan, those are always awesome.

Kris Gaffney-I think that would be unfair.

[Troy Gafgen and Shadow pace around the ring, and they lock up, and Shadow is able to get behind Troy Gafgen.

Shadow hits the mat in frustration as he feels that he’s starting to get close, but he doesn’t know what will keep Troy down.]

JR-Shadow is learning what many have, it’s hard to keep Troy down.

King-That’s why he’s the world champion.

Kris Gaffney-Shadow better think of something.

[Shadow picks up Troy, and he throws him out of the ring. He grabs Troy, and he tries to smash Troy’s head on the steel steps. But Troy Gafgen blocks it, smashes Shadow’s head on the steps. Shadow stumbles away. Shadow turns around, Troy charges at Shadow, Shadow counters with a scoop power slam right on the announcers desk, but it doesn’t break. Shadow goes back into the ring. He climbs up to the top rope, and he measures up, and he leaps off, and he hits a elbow drop that connects on Troy, and breaks the table. Both wrestlers are in the wreckage, and aren’t moving. Shadow starts to stir, he realizes the ref is up to 6 he rolls out of the wreckage, dragging Troy out of it knowing that he can’t win the title on a count out. He pulls up Troy, but Troy hits the Crack of Dawn out of no where…….8………………..9……………Troy Gafgen dives in…….10!!]

JR-Troy Gafgen survives.

King-Survives is the right word.

Kris Gaffney-You think Shadow made the wrong choice to go back for Troy, but he couldn’t have won the title without Troy making the count too.

(Shadow stares down Troy, Troy is still dazed trying to stay on his feet as Dark Horizon goes off the air.)
