(“All wrapped up” blasts on the PA system as Riley Jaddix walks to the ring, he steps inside of the ring.)

Kris Gaffney-Punisher agree’s.

[Nick Black and AN ARKIE face off in the middle of the ring. AN ARKIE hits a slap to the face of Nick Black.

(Copyright information flashes on the screen, and we go into a highlight video of how every match came about. Once that’s completed, we go into a introduction screen that welcomes us to Payback 2015. Pyrotechnics blasts on the specially made stage, lighting up the darken arena. The lights turn on, fans yell, and wave their signs. Some signs say “It was our PPV first, just like Evolution”, “I didn’t need the translations, I speak Steiner”, and

JR-Welcome to Payback, we have a tremendous show for you tonight. Like always, I’m good ol’ JR, Jim Ross, along side Jerry “the King” Lawler, and Kris “KG” Gaffney.

King-That’s right JR, tonight the world title tournament concludes with an elimination chamber.

Kris Gaffney-Ironically this is the same match that the former champion John Cena won his title in.

King-Also, we a mini tournament for a contenders match later on. Which isn’t the world title, but it’ll still be a good shot.

(“Broken out in love” blasts on the PA system as Bray Wyatt walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Bray is a dangerous individual.

King-He is facing a man that is determined to get the win.

Kris Gaffney-Should be interesting to see if Bray can get into his head with that mindset.

(“Mechanical Rhythm” blasts on the PA system as Fredrick Tomas walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Tomas says that this match is very important.

King-He’s just starting his EMF career, but it is important to get this started right.

The bell rings to start the match. Both Bray Wyatt and Frederick Thomas circle around one another, and then at once, both step up to the middle of the ring and lock-up, Thomas, is able to quickly secure Wyatt in a side head-lock, and before Wyatt can begin to fight out of it, Thomas has already lifted him up, and slammed him down, spine-first with a back-suplex! Thomas is straight back up to his feet, and is now savagely hitting Wyatt with boot after boot into the mid-section, one more big stomp, and Wyatt is sitting up, clutching onto his gut in agony… Thomas is running toward ringside, and is rebounding off the ropes, he is charging back over to Wyatt… and another big boot, this one slamming right off the face! Thomas going for the early pinfall! NO! That isn’t enough to put Bray Wyatt down!

JR: Wow, what a fast start to this match by Frederick Thomas

KING: It's a great start

Frederick Thomas is already back up to his feet, and is looking down upon Bray Wyatt, he has a slight smirk on his face, with a cold look in his eye, as he is slowly picking up Wyatt… he’s whipping Wyatt over to the corner, and now he’s charging right after him but Wyatt rebounds off the turnbuckle padding, and came back with a cross body! Now Wyatt stands up, with Thomas slowly staggering up, Wyatt went for a quick kick to the gut, it is caught by Thomas! But Wyatt swung his other foot up… ENZIGURI! His foot cracked right off the temple, and now Wyatt backed up a bit, before charging straight up to Frederick Thomas and hits him with a Spinning Heel Kick!

KG: Wow how great is this match? Going backwards and forwards.

Frederick Thomas is slumped right into the turnbuckle corner, and now Bray Wyatt is unloading on him! Punch after punch, hammering away at the head and body of Thomas… Thomas is trying to cover up the best he can, but Wyatt is piling on the pressure, and eventually, Thomas is left in a seated position, with the turnbuckle behind him… BWyatt turned away from him for a moment, and looked out to the crowd, a cocky grin on his face, and turns back to face Thomas.

JR-Bray might have this match in hand.

King-He does need to make sure that he doesn’t take too much time.

[Bray picks up Tomas, and he goes for his finisher, but Tomas grabs his shirt, and uses leverage to send Bray towards the turnbuckle. He crashes hard into the turnbuckle. He stumbles towards Tomas, who sets up Bray, and he hits his finisher. Tomas goes into the cover on Bray, the ref counts the 1……….2………3!]

JR-Bray waited too long, and it cost him this match.

King-Well, Tomas got the win like he wanted.

(“Radio” blasts on the PA system as Zack Ryder walks to the ring, and he steps inside of the ring with his web camera.)

JR-Ryder didn’t have as good of a week last week.

Kris Gaffney-I guess he can turn things around this week.

King- A match with a champion solves everything.

(“Pain” blasts on the PA system, Hardcore Kid walks out of the ring holding up the TV champion like he is actually the TV champion.)

JR-As mentioned before, Hardcore Kid was able to get his first win last week.

King-Now it’s on to his hated rival.

Kris Gaffney-Ryder is talented, I doubt it’s going to be that easy.

The bell rings to start the match and Zach Ryder grabs Hardcore Kid and flings him to the ropes, he comes back, tries to duck underneath an attempted clothesline but Zach turns the move into a chin lock, then a double arm DDT. They both go down. Hardcore Kid stays down.

JR: What a beginning by Zach Ryder.

KING: He's hot on attack.

Zach gets to his feet, and helps HK back to his. He lifts him into position… and drops him with a brainbuster. He goes for a quick pin, 1…. 2…. No, Hardcore Kid kicks out!

KG: Well what a move from Zach.

Zach Ryder doesn’t let up, though, he pulls Hardcore Kid by the head and tosses him into the corner. Zach Ryder follows him, then reaches down to grab him as Hardcore Kid tries to scurry out of the ring!

JR: Is Hardcore Kid trying to run away?

KING: It sure looks like it.

NO! Hardcore Kid stops, turns back just as Zach Ryder grabs him again he kicks Zach in the guts. HK gets to his feet, grabs Zach and sends him running into the ropes. HK follows up with a spare of all things.

KG: Wow what a spare.

Hardcore Kid quickly gets up and leaves the ring. He starts looking under the ring. He starts pulling out chairs, trash cans, those weird kendo sticks and a few other bits and pieces. He flings the garbage can into the ring. Then the chair. He drops the kendo stick, and pulls out a table and sets it up.

JR: This doesn't bode well for the person who's about to go flying through that table.

KING: It never bodes well.

Hardcore Kid goes rolling into the ring. He spent too long setting up the table because Zach Ryder hits him with the chair. Hardcore Kid goes down.

KG: Why did he waste time with the table.

Zach sees the table set up on the outside, and pulls Hardcore Kid into the corner. He punches him several times. He then DDT's him.

JR: Something tells me Zach setting HK up for the table.

Zach Ryder gets back to his feet, and pulls Hardcore Kid to the top corner rope. He sets him up for a slam, but some how Hardcore Kid blocks the move. Then he reverses the move into a back body drop and they both flying onto the table, and crash through it.

KING: Oh my god, oh my god, did you guys just see that?

KG: Disregard his own health.

[Hardcore Kid gets out of the table, he picks up Ryder, and he sets up Ryder for the Rock Bottom. But he’s taking way too long, he turns right into the House of Pain by Mike New. Ryder crawls into the cover on Hardcore Kid, the ref counts the 1………..2……..3!]

JR-Mike New played a role, he might be coming for the championship.

King-Stop! Thief!

(Mike New grabs the TV championship, he gets ready to hit Hardcore Kid, he tries to hit Hardcore Kid with the title, but Hardcore Kid ducks at the last moment. New hits Ryder instead, Ryder is down. With the distraction Hardcore Kid grabs the title from New, and gets out of the ring clutching the title as he walks to the back.)

Kris Gaffney-Emile seemed to want to move on, but then last week happened, you got to wonder how much that is weighing on his mind.

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

Kris Gaffney-He hasn’t had the easiest time in defeating Mastermind, maybe he can change that tonight.

(“I will master your mind” blasts on the PA system as Mastermind walks to the ring, he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Mastermind despite having the favorable record against Big Slack hasn’t had a championship like him.

("Break the Walls down" blasts on the PA system as Jericho walks to the ring along with Maria. He steps inside of the ring.)

JR-This man intensions have remained somewhat of a mystery.

King-Other than he likes to cause Cena pain.

Kris Gaffney-But that's no different than Jericho any other time.

("Masterpiece" blasts on the PA system as Masters walks to the ring, he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Masters has returned, and shown that he's ready to gain some revenge for his past with Cena.

King-Don't think beating Mr. Chaos is an accomplishment.

Kris Gaffney-But he's a former world champion!?!

("Bad, Bad Man" blasts on the PA system as John Cena walks to the ring along with Amy Dumas. He steps inside of the ring.)

JR-John Cena felt so strongly about this feud with Jericho, he dropped the world championship.

King-Guess sometimes things are more important.

Masters, Jericho, and Cena start out in the ring. Masters and Jericho seem to be on the same page as they both begin to double team Cena. Hitting kicks and punches, followed by a double suplex. Cena rolls under the ropes and to the floor smartly, letting Masters and Jericho face each other. Masters begins to establish his power game with a body slam, followed by an elbow. As soon as Jericho gets back up he’s met by a suplex. Jericho is a little slower getting to his feet but manages in decent time. Jericho goes for a punch but Masters counters and spins Jericho around locking in the Masterlock.

JR-Cena saved himself from losing the match right there.

King-I would explain that this is a difference from a regular match...but I think it would make Cena angry.

Kris Gaffney-Ok...but X-Pac and Road Dogg are great tag team wrestlers!

Cena comes in and makes the save. Jericho rolls to the apron this time. Cena and Masters trade blows, Cena begins to get the upper hand. He then rebounds off the ropes, hits a shoulder block, followed by another. He lifts Masters and hits a protoplex, he then stands over him and signs the “You can’t See me” Rebounds off the ropes and hits a 5 knuckle shuffle. Masters is back on his feet almost immediately. Cena lifts Masters for an AA, but Masters grabs the ropes. Cena flips him over the top rope. Jericho hits Cena from behind with a dropkick out of nowhere.

Cena out of semi desperation goes for a hurricanrana, Jericho counters and turns him into the Walls of Jericho in the center of the ring. Cena begins to claw his way to the ropes, Jericho deepens the hold as Cena crawls. Cena fights and fights and makes it to the bottom rope. The ref calls for the break. Jericho holds, exercising 4 of his 5 seconds. Then breaks the hold.

JR-Jericho is making sure that he makes Cena feel as much pain as possible.

King-I think despite the fact he says it's not, you got to believe that there is some bad blood with Jericho.

Kris Gaffney-There could be, just is it the same as Cena?

Masters grabs Jericho from behind, and attempts a belly to back suplex on Jericho. Jericho back flips and lands on his feet. He begins to charge Masters who has his back still to him. Jericho hits a running bulldog, followed up immediately by a Lionsault. He covers quickly 1….2…. Masters kicks out. Cena is some how back in it as he grabs Jericho and tosses him out of the ring. He immediately locks in the STFU on Masters. Masters screams in pain. Masters fights trying not to tap out, he begins to pull himself toward the rope. Cena really pulls back on his neck, stopping him. Jericho is back in the ring. Masters is about to tap out, but Jericho hits Cena with a basement dropkick.

JR-Bah gawd, I've never seen such a display of athletic ability.

King-Hardcore Holly would be proud.

Kris Gaffney-Line? *reads his hand* How do you....like...me....NOW. Yeah, that's it!

Cena looks out, as Jericho rolls him to the floor. Masters gets back to his feet slowly during this time. He is visibly hurting as he limps over to the unaware Jericho. He attempts the Masterlock once again, this time Jericho counters with a snapmare. As Masters makes it to his feet, Jericho leaps and hits the Codebreaker, he pulls Masters to the center of the ring and pins him. 1….2… Cena is back in the ring and dives at the pin…3… Cena is moments late on breaking it up.

JR-Jericho wins again!

(Amy kicks Maria in the midsection as she gets up and then plants her down with a DDT. Amy turns but Mickie has climbed to the top rope and hits a headscissors on Amy. Maria stumbles to her feet and Mickie positions her for the Mickie-DT but Maria is able to push her away. Maria grabs Mickie and hurls her out of the ring. Mickie goes over the ropes but lands on the apron. Amy is back up and hammers away on Maria. Amy kicks Maria in the midsection and then plants her with a DDT. Amy picks Maria back up and tries to throw her into the corner but Maria counters it and sends Amy flying into the turnbuckle. Amy falls into a seated position. Maria taunts the crowd. She's about to run for a Bronco Buster... but then she stops herself. Maria lowers her own pants so she is in her thong, before running and hitting the Bronco Buster on Amy!)

JR: Not sure why Maria did that...

King: Well Amy had such a problem with her doing it previously, I guess it's to mock Amy?

Kris: Who the hell cares?

(Maria gets up smirking but all of a sudden the smile turns to a look of horror as Mickie James applies the Vaginal Claw on Maria! Maria shrieks and tries to fight Mickie off but Mickie locks the hold on tight. Amy gets to her feet and runs and hits a clothesline on Maria which knocks her down and breaks the hold. Maria rolls under the bottom rope to get dressed again. This leaves Mickie and Amy alone. Amy unloads on Mickie and then kicks her in the midsection and positions her and hits Mickie with the Whiplash DDT! Amy goes into the cover for 1..... 2..... kick out! Mickie is still down and Amy calls for the Lita-sault. Amy climbs to the top rope and then leaps off. Mickie throws the knees up and counters the move. Both women are down and Maria slides into the ring. Maria picks up Amy who is still hurting and hits her with the Beautiful Bulldog! Maria goes into the cover for 1..... 2...... kick out!)

JR: Maria almost shocked the world!

King: She may have been better off targetting Mickie...

(Seemingly Maria has reached that conclusion too. She lets Mickie climb to her feet and then looks for the Beautiful Bulldog again. Mickie pushes her off and Maria crashes to the mat. Mickie measures her and as Maria gets up Mickie hits her with the Mick Kick. Maria goes down but falls out of the ring. Mickie looks annoyed and then Amy spins her round and positions her for the Reverse of Fates. Mickie reaches up and applies the Vaginal Claw to Amy this time to avoid the move. Amy screams out and Mickie is clearly enjoying it. Amy kicks away at Mickie and eventually breaks free. Mickie climbs to her feet and Amy hits a quick suplex. Mickie goes down and Amy picks her up and again seems to be thinking of using a finisher but Mickie rakes the eyes. Amy stumbles and Mickie grabs her and positions her for the Mickie-DT. Maria climbs onto the apron holding the championship. She measures Mickie with it but Mickie sees it coming and ducks. As Amy gets up Maria accidentally smashes her in the head with the belt. Amy goes down hard and Mickie quickly grabs Maria whose on the apron and kisses her to the delight of the crowd. Maria seems confused and Mickie pushes her hard to the outside. She then picks up the downed Amy and hits a Mickie-DT to be sure. Mickie covers Amy for 1..... 2...... 3!)

JR: We have a new Women's Champion!

King: And during this match she showed us all why she is the best champion ever...

Kris: I'm surprised you weren't pulling for Maria...

(Mickie is handed the championship and slides out of the ring. As Amy gets up in the ring looking angry Mickie licks her hands suggestively towards her and heads to the back carrying her title.)

("Game On" by Disciple plays over the PA System and Tony Ikeda makes his way out for the Elimination Chamber match.)

JR: Tony Ikeda is entering the chamber once more. He's yet to pick up a win inside one.

King: If that changes tonight, he'll be a 5 time World Champion.

Kris: He'll have to roll back a lot of years to pull that off.

("The Champ is Here" plays as Lee Foster comes out, and is also sealed inside a pod.)

JR: An ironic theme song name, being the catch phrase of John Cena.

King: Could he be the man to take over from Cena?

Kris: Well he's going to be sealed in the pod until the end, which might help.

("Clock Ticking" plays and Nostalgia is out next with Christy Hemme.)

JR: Nostalgia is the Intercontinental Champion, he'll be looking to upgrade the belt.

King: It's the same goal Foster and New have.

Kris: And Mack has already beaten him once in this tournament.

("The Heretic Anthem" plays and Troy Gafgen is out next with AJ Lee skipping behind him.)

JR: AJ Lee will not accept failure.

King: Coming from the woman who lost a chamber when Troy was the ref...

Kris: We're not allowed to bring that up!

(With all 4 men sealed inside their pods, "Back to Life" plays and Mike New comes out next.)

JR: Mike New has won every title the EMF has to offer... except one.

King: He can complete the set tonight.

Kris: And then he'll get a new T-Shirt!

("Vegabond" plays next and out comes Mack O'Connor.)

JR: Mack has to be amongest the fav....

King: WHAT THE HELL?!

(Before JR can finish his comment, a group of men jump over the barricade. They are wearing hoodies and ski masks to cover their faces. The group all carry baseball bats, and Mack doesn't see them coming. One of them smashes Mack in the head and he goes down. The group then start to assault Mack O'Connor with the bats while Mike New and the others in the pods watch on. Referees try to intervene but one man holds them back with a bat whilst the other 3 continue to take shots on Mack. Mack is bleeding from the nose and one of them cracks him over the ankle a few times. Suddenly "Bad, Bad Man" plays over the system and John Cena comes running out. The group quickly jump back over the barricade and run back through the crowd before Cena gets near them, clearing thinking their job is done. Cena looks down at Mack and motions for a stretcher.)

JR: John Cena clearly wants this match to go ahead as planned... but I don't think Mack can go.

King: Do we have a replacement?

Kris: I bet Cena would jump at the chance... if he was allowed..

(Cena has a ear piece and he seems to be communicating with someone in the back to try and find a replacement. But suddenly Mack starts to pull himself up. Mack is yelling that he's not giving up his spot. Mack is clearly limping and Cena seems to be telling him to head to the back. Mack isn't listening and tries to limp into the chamber. In the end Cena calls off the stretcher and helps Mack hobble towards the chamber.)

JR: I'm not sure why Mack would still want to enter.

King: Well it is his opportunity, at least Cena respects that.

Kris: He must have a death wish...

(As Mack gets into the structure the door is slammed and Cena himself goes over to make sure it's locked and no one else can interfere. Cena heads to the back shaking his head, clearly not happy. The bell rings and the match is underway. Mack seems to have shaken off the worst of his injuries but is still nowhere near 100%. Mike New, sensing weakness, charges straight at him. Mack hits some hard right hands to Mike New. The 2 trade blows but New is getting the better of it. New backs Mack into the corner and hammers away with hard shots in the corner, focusing on Mack's nose which may well be broken. Out of desperaton Mack rakes the eyes. New stumbles back and Mack charges at him and takes him down with a clothesline. Mack stomps away on New and the New stumbles up and Mack grabs him and quickly hits the Claymore! Mack drops into the cover for 1..... 2...... KICK OUT!)

JR: Mack clearly wanting some time to rest. He almost got it.

King: New will have to be a lot more careful than that...

Kris: That would have completely changed the match.

(Mack picks New up and looks for the Claymore again. This time Mike New hits some hard elbows and escapes the move. Mack stumbles back and New hammers away on him. New kicks Mack in the gut and then plants him down with a DDT. New takes a moment to catch his breath and then walks over and stomps hard on Mack's busted ankle. Mack is in pain and New takes some more shots at it. New then grabs Mack and picks him up to his feet. This causes Mack more pain standing on the ankle. New again kicks Mack in the midsection and then runs and hits the House of Pain on Mack! Mack goes down and New covers him for 1.... 2..... kick out! Mike New wastes no time placing Mack in his submission hold, the Newberry Sensation!)

JR: There's no way Mack can withstand this...

King: He was brave, but that beating has cost him big.

(Mack is in pain and has nowhere to go. He has no choice but to submit, it is surely just a matter of time. But he is fighting it. He's trying to get towards the ropes but not having any luck. Then the lights start to flicker and the countdown begins. The clock ticks down 3.... 2..... 1.... the buzzer goes off and the light stops over the pod containing Troy Gafgen. The former EMF Champion comes into the ring and heads over and stomps away on New, breaking the hold and saving Mack. Mack rolls away trying to get to safety as Troy comes in and hammers away on New. Troy throws New into the ropes and as he comes back, Troy takes him down with the Chaos Theory neckbreaker. Troy picks New up and then hits a DDT. He then calls for the Crack of Dawn. New stumbles and Troy plants him with the Crack of Dawn! Troy goes into the cover and the referee counts 1..... 2..... 3!)

Finkle: MIKE NEW HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

JR: Well that didn't take too long.

King: Could easily have been Mack...

Kris: Still might be....

(Mack has pulled himself up using the ropes. He talks to Troy and seems to be discussing forming an alliance. Troy smirks and runs at him and looks to clothesline Mack over the top. Mack is alert and pulls down the top rope and Troy goes flying over it and crashes to the steel on the outside. Mack pulls himself up to the top turnbuckle. He waits for Troy to stumble up and then he leaps off the top turnbuckle and hits a double axe handle to Troy on the outside. Troy again hits the steel and then Mack picks him up. Mack looks for the Claymore but Troy elbows him away and then hurls Mack hard into one of the glass pods. The glass smashes on the empty pod Troy came out of. Mack seems to be down and out. Troy tries to head over but he's struggling to get through the debris. The countdown starts again, and this time Nostalgia is released.)

JR: Here comes the IC Champion...

King: Into a ring with the former IC Champion, and the best IC Champion of all time.

Kris: Quite the set up here...

(Troy eventually makes it to Mack and drops into the cover. The referee counts 1.... 2...... KICK OUT! Troy looks shocked. He gets up and drags Mack out of the pod. He picks him up and looks for the Crack of Dawn, but Mack pushes him away. Troy stumbles a bit and walks straight into a SPEAR from Nostalgia! Mack and Troy are both down and Nostalgia climbs to the top rope. He then looks up at the top of the pod. The crowd are going nuts. Nostalgia climbs up on top of the pod. By the time he gets there, both Troy and Mack have managed to get to their feet. Troy kicks Mack in the midsection and goes for the Crack of Dawn! Mack holds onto the cage wall and Troy crashes to the steel. Nostalgia takes his opportunity and leaps off the pod, hitting the Elixir on Troy Gafgen! Nostalgia is into the cover for 1...... 2...... KICK OUT by Troy!)

JR: How the hell has he survived that!

King: People go to extremes to survive the chamber...

(Nostalgia gets up a little hurt from the move himself and Mack seizes the opportunity to grab him and hit the Claymore! Nostalgia lands right on top of Troy again for 1.... 2..... KICK OUT! This broke Nostalgia's fall though and he is quick to get to his feet and trade blows with Mack. Nostalgia gets the better of his weakened opponent and then hurls Mack head first into the cage wall. Troy comes over and Nostalgia throws him into the ring. With Mack down on the outside, Nostalgia heads into the ring with Troy. Troy stumbles to his feet and Nostalgia positions him for a Powerbomb. He hits it and then goes straight into a move that looks like the X-Factor! Troy is down and Nostalgia covers him for 1..... 2....... 3!)

JR: He calls that the Jedi Mind Trick!

King: How do you know?

Kris: How do you think?

Finkle: TROY GAFGEN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

(Nostalgia turns his attention to Mack but suddenly the countdown is happening again. This time Tony Ikeda is released into the chamber. Tony makes a beeline for Mack who he knows is hurting. Tony grabs Mack and looks for the Full Nelson Suplex and Mack blocks the move with a low blow. Tony stumbles and Mack throws him into the cage wall. Mack then grates Tony's head into the wall of the cage. He turns Tony round so Tony has his back to the cage. Then Mack measures him for a Haymaker. Tony ducks and Mack punches the wall of the cage hard. Mack stumbles in pain and Tony grabs him and this time hits the Full Nelson Suplex. He's about to cover but suddenly Nostalgia flies over the top rope. Tony somehow catches Nostalgia and is able to hurl him hard into the wall of the cage.)

JR: Tony Ikeda's still got some moves!

King: Who says that age means you can't find a way to win.

(Both Nostalgia and Mack are down and Tony positions Nostalgia against the wall of the cage and then hammers away on him with right hands. Nostalgia's head is banging off the steel. Mack pulls himself up but Tony throws him into the ring and then continues to hammer away on Nostalgia. Tony pulls him away from the wall and then throws him hard into a different glass pod. This one doesn't break and Nostalgia bounces off of it. Nostalgia is dazed and Tony grabs him and hits a Full Neslon suplex on the outside! Tony Ikeda goes into the cover for 1...... 2..... KICK OUT!)

JR: I don't believe Nostalgia is still in this.

King: I don't believe Tony Ikeda hasn't gone for a nap yet....

(The lights flicker for the final time and the last man in is Lee Foster.Foster steps into the ring and Mack has just got to his feet. Foster walks straight up to him and just nails the Dragon Punch! He's about to cover but Tony Ikeda is in the ring. Ikeda trades blows with Foster and Nostalgia stumbles to his feet on the outside. Nostalgia slides into the ring and into the cover on Mack for 1.... kick out. Mack had too long to recover. Nostalgia motions for the Jedi Mindtrick again. He picks Mack up and positions him, and lifts him for a powerbomb, but Mack rakes the eyes. Nostalgia stumbles and Mack hits with with the Claymore! Tony Ikeda has back Foster up into the ropes and Mack rushes over and clotheslines Foster to the outside. He seems like he's pissed at Foster. He's about to head to the outside but Tony Ikeda stops him with a right hand. Ikeda hammers away on Mack but Mack kicks him in the midsection and then plants Tony Ikeda with the Claymore! Mack goes into the cover for 1..... 2..... 3!)

JR: Tony Ikeda should have let him go after Foster!

King: You'd think he'd know that at his age...

Kris: Maybe he just forgot.

Finkle: TONY IKEDA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

(We are down to 3. Mack decides to try his luck and covers Nostalgia for 1..... 2...... KICK OUT! Foster slides back into the ring and kicks Mack's bad ankle. Mack stumbles and Foster plants him with a DDT. Both men are down and Foster assessed the situation. He waits and Nostalgia pulls himself to his feet. Foster tries to throw Nostalgia out of the ring but Nostalgia counters the Irish Whip and Foster bounces off the ropes. He comes back off the ropes and Nostalgia hits a quick suplex. Foster climbs up and walks stright into a Claymore! Mack goes into the cover for 1.... 2.... KICK OUT by Foster. Nostalgia then grabs Mack and throws him hard into the turnbuckle and Mack hits the ringpost shoulder first. Mack stumbles out and then falls to the mat. Nostalgia stands over Foster. He picks him up and positions him for the Jedi Mind Trick. Foster drops to his knees and hits a low blow on Nostalgia! Foster then gets up and hits the Dragon Punch! Mack charges at him and walks into a Dragon Punch of his own! Foster covers Mack for 1.... 2...... 3! He then covers Nostalgia for 1...... 2....... KICK OUT!)

Finkle: MACK O'CONNOR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

JR: I'm shocked he lasted this long... what with that assault...

(The door is opened and Mack is pulled out of the chamber. Suddenly the masked men return again through the crowd. The once again assault Mack O'Connor. This time no one is coming to save him as Cena doesn't have a match to protect. The assault is worse too. They drag Mack to the top of the ramp and then hurl him off of it where he crashes through a stack of tables. The masked men run through the crowd again before they can be caught. Foster has been distracted watching proceedings. He is spun round by Nostalgia who plants him with his new finisher... the Jedi Mind Trick! Nostalgia goes into the cover for 1..... 2...... 3! Or was it....)

JR: Did he get it?!

King: I couldn't tell... it was damn close....

Kris: I think he's the champion!

(The referee gets up signalling.... TWO count! The crowd can't believe it. Nostalgia can't believe it. Nostalgia confronts the referee. The referee is adamant his hand wasn't down a 3rd time. Nostalgia is angry at him. But he realises it's no good arguing. He turns around and grabs Foster again. He hoists him up for another mindtrick but when he's in the Powerbomb position Foster counters into a headscissor. Nostalgia stumbles up and Foster plants him with a Superkick! Foster into the cover for 1..... 2..... kick out!)

JR: And we continue....

King: What a match!

(Nostalgia stumbles up and Foster looks for the Dragon Punch, but Nostalgia ducks under it. Nostalgia kicks him in the midsection and hits him with the Blast from the Past!)

King: That's it.... it's done...

(Nostalgia shakes his head and heads over to a turnbuckle. He climbs up onto the top rope. He then climbs back up onto the chamber like he did previously. The crowd are going nuts once more and Nostalgia leaps off and hits the Elixir!! Or did he? Foster got the knees up! Nostalgia is severely doubled over and Foster digs deep and nails him with a Dragon Punch! Foster into the cover for 1...... 2....... 3! Or.... was it?)

JR: Another close call!

King: DID HE GET IT?!

Kris: What's the ref saying....

(The referee gets up and...... calls for the bell! The match is over and Lee Foster has done it. His theme plays again and pyro goes off and confetting falls from the ceiling. MVP and Renee are quickly in the ring as the referee takes the championship and presents it to Foster. Foster lofts it high above his head and then sinks to his knees. We go off the air with the shot of Foster clutching the title and Renee and MVP celebrating by his side.)

(OOC from John Cena- What can I say about that one? Incredible effort from all involved. I'll be honest and say there were 3 people who could easily have come away with this win. Troy and Tony wrote damn good RPs, the best I've seen from them in a long time, and on another day they'd have been in the equation, but they went up against 3 guys who had exceptional quality and didn't give them a look in. Of those 3 guys I would say it was damn close between all 3. When I had only read Mack and Nostalgia's RPs I wasn't sure who was ahead out of those 2. Had Foster no showed, for example, that would have been a horrible call to make. Then I read Foster and i knew he had it. Not by a lot, but he had it. I will say had this been Mack Vs Nostalgia I would have read them again and again to get it right, it's not necessarily true that Nostalgia would have won, I'm not sure because thankfully, Foster stopped me having to make that call. With the story Mack asked for, and the fact I had a slight lean to Nostalgia, I went with Nostalgia 2nd and Mack 3rd. What's important though is the winner, and I know the right man won it, again though, it was close from all 3. Well done to you all, I'm sure you'll all win the big one, and it was a pleasure to do this tournament and get a deserving new champion. Honourable mentions to people like Mastermind and Emile De Larrey whose RPs I enjoyed in the previous rounds, but I don't think anyone will argue with Foster taking the crown. Incredible effort.)
