08/26/24
Pre-taped Segment: Pete the Ref’s Break-in
Cut to a pre-taped segment where Pete the Ref is seen sneaking into the lavish home of CEO Murrey. Pete, armed with a small kit, carefully navigates through the house until he reaches the bathroom. He spots the soap bar on the shower shelf and grins.
Pete the Ref: (whispering) “Alright, just need a little bit of hair for the DNA test. Time to crack this case!”
As Pete gingerly picks up the soap bar, the camera pans out to show CEO Murrey’s silhouette through the frosted glass door of the shower.
CEO Murrey: (singing off-key) “I’m too sexy for my soap, too sexy for my soap…”
Pete freezes, his eyes wide with panic. He fumbles the soap, drops it, and it slides under the door. Murrey opens the shower door, spotting Pete on his knees reaching for the soap.
CEO Murrey: “What in the… Pete!? What are you doing in my shower!?”
Pete grabs the soap and runs out, slipping on the wet floor as he makes his escape. The camera cuts to Murrey looking furious, with soap suds still clinging to his bald head.
Locker Room Segment: Nakamura and Flex Fuller
In the locker room, Shinsuke Nakamura is meditating when he notices Flex Fuller sitting on a bench, flipping through a photo album. Nakamura approaches, curious.
Shinsuke Nakamura: (with a puzzled expression) “What are you looking at, Flex?”
Flex Fuller: (smiling proudly) “Oh, these? These are pictures of me and Doc Brown. We’ve had some crazy adventures together.”
Nakamura raises an eyebrow, clearly confused.
Flex Fuller: “We’ve traveled through time, fought dinosaurs, and even went to Disney World! Crazy times, man!”
Nakamura stares at Flex, trying to decide if he’s serious or just messing with him.
Shinsuke Nakamura: “You have to let this go if you even want to have the slightest chance in our match at Bash in Berlin.”
Flex Fuller: “When I defeat you and DDP, Doc and I are going to Italy and I am gonna add more pictures to this album. He will give me some more magic elixir and I won’t feel sad anymore.”
Nakamura shakes his head, chuckling as he walks away, leaving Flex looking at his photo album.
Match: Drew McIntyre vs. Johnny Gargano
Match Build-Up:
As the camera pans to the ring, Drew McIntyre’s music hits, and the crowd reacts with a mix of cheers and boos. The Scottish Warrior makes his way down the ramp, his eyes filled with determination. Tonight, he’s not just here to win—he’s here to make a statement to Tommaso Ciampa.
Jerry Lawler: “Drew McIntyre looks like he’s on a mission tonight, Pat. He’s got a message to send, and unfortunately for Johnny Gargano, he’s the one in the crosshairs.”
Pat McAfee: “Gargano’s no pushover, King, but Drew’s on another level right now. This is going to be a war.”
The camera shifts to the stage as Johnny Gargano’s music plays. The crowd erupts in support as Gargano steps out, his eyes locked on Drew. Despite the size difference, Johnny’s determination is palpable. He knows what Drew is capable of, but he’s not backing down.
Jerry Lawler: “Gargano’s heart is as big as they come, but is that enough to take down McIntyre tonight?”
Pat McAfee: “Johnny’s faced giants before, but Drew McIntyre is a different beast. This match could get ugly.”
The Match Begins:
As the bell rings, both men circle each other, sizing each other up. Gargano knows he can’t outpower Drew, so he starts the match with quick jabs and kicks, aiming for Drew’s legs to weaken his base. Drew absorbs the blows, smirking as he lunges forward, trying to grab Gargano in a lock-up. Gargano smartly ducks under Drew’s grasp, darting around the ring, trying to stay one step ahead.
Pat McAfee: “Johnny’s using his speed to his advantage, but how long can he keep that up?”
Jerry Lawler: “Drew just needs one good shot to turn this match around.”
Gargano continues his hit-and-run tactics, connecting with a springboard dropkick that staggers Drew but doesn’t take him down. Drew shakes it off and charges at Gargano, who counters with an enziguri, momentarily dazing Drew. Gargano seizes the opportunity, bouncing off the ropes for a crossbody, but Drew catches him mid-air and slams him down with a massive overhead belly-to-belly suplex.
Jerry Lawler: “And just like that, Drew McIntyre takes control!”
Pat McAfee: “The power of McIntyre is unreal! Gargano’s in trouble now.”
Drew McIntyre’s Domination:
With Gargano grounded, Drew methodically picks him apart. He delivers a series of stiff strikes, each one echoing through the arena. Drew pulls Gargano up and whips him into the corner with such force that Gargano crumples to the mat on impact. Drew stalks his prey, lifting Gargano and delivering a devastating spinebuster that leaves Johnny gasping for air.
Jerry Lawler: “Drew’s not just trying to win; he’s trying to dismantle Johnny Gargano piece by piece.”
Drew drags Gargano to the center of the ring, lifting him for a powerbomb. Gargano, with a burst of adrenaline, counters into a hurricanrana, sending Drew into the corner. Gargano quickly follows up with a running forearm, then a second, and finally a third that drops Drew to a knee.
Pat McAfee: “Gargano’s showing that never-say-die attitude! He’s not out of this yet!”
Johnny Gargano’s Comeback:
Gargano, feeding off the crowd’s energy, hits a slingshot spear through the ropes that knocks Drew off his feet. He goes for a quick cover.
1… 2… Kickout by Drew McIntyre!
Gargano wastes no time, immediately transitioning into a superkick that staggers Drew again. He then locks in the Garga-No-Escape, wrenching back with all his might. The crowd is on their feet, willing Johnny to make Drew tap out.
Jerry Lawler: “Can Gargano make Drew McIntyre tap out? He’s got it locked in deep!”
Drew struggles, his face contorted in pain, but with sheer power, he starts to push up, lifting Gargano off the mat with him. With a roar, Drew powers out of the hold, throwing Gargano off and delivering a thunderous Glasgow Kiss headbutt that sends Gargano stumbling backward.
Pat McAfee: “That headbutt could knock a lesser man out cold!”
The Finish:
As Gargano wobbles on his feet, Drew senses the end is near. He lines up his shot, stalking Gargano like a predator. Gargano turns around, and Drew explodes with a Claymore Kick that connects flush on Johnny’s jaw, flipping him inside out.
Jerry Lawler: “Claymore! That’s it! Gargano’s out cold!”
Drew hooks the leg for the cover.
1… 2… 3!
Winner: Drew McIntyre via pinfall after a devastating Claymore Kick.
Post-Match:
Drew McIntyre stands tall over Johnny Gargano, his victory sending a clear message to Tommaso Ciampa. The camera zooms in on Drew’s intense expression as he leans over the ropes, staring directly into the camera.
Drew McIntyre: “Ciampa, this is just the beginning. At Bash in Berlin, you’re going to feel the full force of the Scottish Warrior!”
Drew’s music plays as he exits the ring, leaving a battered Johnny Gargano to be attended to by officials. The message has been sent loud and clear—Drew McIntyre is not to be taken lightly.
Jerry Lawler: “Drew McIntyre is a man on a mission, and I don’t know if anyone, not even Tommaso Ciampa, can stop him.”
Pat McAfee: “If tonight was any indication, the Bash in Berlin just got a whole lot more interesting.”
The segment ends with Drew McIntyre standing on the stage, raising his fist high, while the crowd buzzes with anticipation for the upcoming showdown at Bash in Berlin.
Parking Lot Attack: Finn Bálor vs. AJ Styles
As the show nears its end, AJ Styles is shown heading towards his car in the parking lot. The World Champion is suddenly ambushed from behind by Finn Bálor! Finn viciously slams AJ into the side of a car, raining down punches.
Finn Bálor: “At Bash in Berlin, I’m taking that title and sending you back to where you belong—the All Empty Arena!”
Finn grabs a steel pipe and strikes AJ’s ribs, leaving the champion gasping for breath. As security rushes in, Finn walks away, satisfied with his handiwork, leaving AJ writhing in pain on the cold concrete.
