Survival 14/12/16 + Ep1 Survive This

## Main Show

A recap video was played, showing the events that took place at Catalytic Resolution. The 4th Reich finally met its ultimate demise after losing in all of the 3 matches, Dolph Ziggler’s shocking return to cash in on Samoa Joe to become the new Survival World Champion and Miz’s unexpected betrayal and assault on his former friend, Johnny Mundo after Mundo won the Intercontinental Championship.

*Segment 1: \*Shawn Michaels’s theme hits as he is met with a huge pop from the crowd\**

Michaels: Last Sunday, at Catalytic Resolution, The Shield faced against the 4th Reich in 3 different matches. Sting vs Triple H for the control of Survival’s management, CM Punk defended his Survival World Championship against Chris Hero and Samoa Joe for the control of power and a huge 10 vs 10 Hell in a Cell match to determine the fate of the stables. And here I stands….GLAD TO SAY THAT SURVIVAL IS FREE FROM THE 4TH REICH! This marks the first time that Survival will be run by a non 4th Reich authoritarian. But I will not be the new Survival General Manager. I already mentioned that if Triple H loses at Catalytic Resolution, we will be seeing a new General Manager. After discussing with the board of directors on who should take up that responsibility, they said it is my responsibility…..to find a capable candidate to fill in that role. And it is also my privilege to announce you the new Survival General Manager….\*points to the stage\*

Stone Cold Steve Austin comes out to an incredible pop from the crowd as they stands on their feet for Stone Cold. Stone Cold enters the ring and poses to the crowd. Stone Cold grabs a mic, shakes Michaels’s hand and begins to speak. Michaels rolls out of the ring, leaving Austin in the ring alone.

Austin: Thank you Shawn for choosing me to replace that no good son of a bitch Triple H to be the new General Manager of Survival. I won’t be running things here like how Corey Graves or Triple H does. Stone Cold does things his way. And I will be equally fair to everyone here. If you don’t want to be here, I have no problems kicking your ass out of this brand. How do you people find that? Gimme a hell yeah if you all agree. \*Crowd chants Hell Yeah\* That’s how I like to hear it. So first things first, with CM Punk’s injury, he is not able to get his rematch clause for the Survival World Championship against Dolph Ziggler. But since Punk lost it to Samoa Joe and then Dolph Ziggler cashes it on Samoa Joe, therefore Samoa Joe is technically the number one contender for the championship. So here is what I will do. Punk will not get his rematch clause no matter what happened. He can sue me all he wants but that son of a bitch did nothing to deserve any shit to get a rematch clause. Next week, Dolph Ziggler will defend his Survival World Championship against Samoa Joe. Not only that, we will have a 20 men over the top rope Battle Royal to determine the new number one contender for the Survival World Championship at the Royal Rumble which will happen next week. You must be wondering why I am doing all of this next week. The reason is simple. Most of the wrestlers in the Hell in a Cell match aren’t medically cleared to compete tonight. Thus, I am a fair man so I give them technically the night off if they wish to have one. If not, it’s fine by me. Then for tonight’s main event, I will be giving Apollo Crews a chance to reclaim his Intercontinental Championship against Johnny Mundo. With that, enjoy the show! \*raises his hand for a pop\*

*\*Segment ends with Stone Cold walking back to the office\**

**Match 1: Prime Time Players (Titus O'Neil and Darren Young) vs The Ascension (Viktor and Konnor) in a Tag Team match**

Prime Time Players defeats The Ascension via pinfall at 7 minutes after Young pins Konnor with the Gutbuster.

After the match, Prime Time Players start to dance in the ring over Konnor, mocking them. THEN (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZkfHdk-\_nI) WAS PLAYED!

The New Day of Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods, comes out to a huge pop while riding on a unicorn car.

Big E: OOOOOOHHHHHH, DON’T YOU DARE BE SOUR, PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR THE DEBUT OF THE NEW DAY AND FEEL DA POWERRRRRR!!

Woods: Prime Time Players, we know how sour you guys are which explains why you resort to attacking people such as Tom Phillips, Jack Swagger, Rob Van Dam and those 2 Road Warriors wannabe. We understand that.

Kofi: That is why we are here on Survival. To spread the power of positivity all over the brand.

Darren Young rolls out of the ring and grabs a mic and begins to speak.

Young: We do what we want. Who are you to tell us what we can or can’t do? Besides, we have been here longer than you three retards!

O’Neil: OORAH OORAH OORAH! \*O’Neil raises his hands like a bull while doing the scream\*

Woods: Woah, woah, woah. Hold it right there. Kofi and Big E, it seems we have a rabid dog running wild on this show. And the worst part is….THEY ARE TOGETHER! \*crowds start Gay at Prime Time Players\* On a serious note, I am glad you know that you two have been longer than the three of us. But what difference does it make? You two have been here for like 2-3 weeks? And what have you two accomplished so far? We are here to spread joy and excitement. That is why….

Kofi and Big E: NEW DAY ROCKS!

Big E: The New Day decides that to start off our huge debut, we will be challenging you two lovebirds next week to a tag team match. We are going to start spreading joy in this brand by dealing with you two negative couple.

O’Neil: I will make dog food out of you three losers.

Woods: I am sure that is what she said last night.

*\*Segment ends with the New Day going back to the locker room\**

*Segment 2: \*Tom Phillips is backstage with a sling over his shoulder\**

Tom: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we will see Johnny Mundo defends his newly won Intercontinental Championship against Apollo Crews. And for my guest tonight, please welcome the former Intercontinen….\*Tom Phillips got grabbed by Apollo Crews in the neck who shoved him to the wall\*

Crews: Fuck you nerd. I dare you to say that to my face again. I FUCKING DARE YOU SON OF A BITCH! The last thing you would call me is a former champion because I am a champion everyday since the first day I come to Survival. Never make an angry black man because you are going to get blacked from it.

Crews grabs Tom and throws him through the backstage equipment. Crews begins to stomp on Tom who is yelling for help. Referees come in and pull Crews apart. Crews give in and grabs a mic.

Crews: Mundo, what happens to Tom will be the same thing I do to you tonight. In fact, I will guarantee it….

Austin: Or else what? You are going to come back here and attack Tom Phillips?

Crews: No, you stupid…

Austin: What?

Crews: Don’t do you dare going around disrespecting your wrestlers….

Austin: What?

Crews: Shut up you bald motherfucker.

Austin: Apollo Crews….I have immense respect for you but with your current attitude and behaviour, you are digging yourself in a grave. A grave that no one can help you from.

Crews: I rather leave Survival than be respected by the likes of you.

Austin: Oh, so you want to leave Survival?

Crews: That is not what I meant.

Austin: Here is what I will do. If you lose your championship match tonight, you can get your ass out of here for good. In fact, you can leave even if you win the championship tonight. Quite honestly, your bad attitude….Survival doesn’t need it.

Crews: You know what Austin...I always wanted to be the Survival World Champion here….BUT FUCK YOU! I AM LEAVING TONIGHT! SO FUCK YOU TOM PHILLIPS AND FUCK YOU STONE COLD! I WILL MAKE SURE I WIN TONIGHT SO I CAN RUB THIS TITLE ON YOUR FACE AND KISS MY ASS GOODBYE FROM THIS SHIT PLACE!

*\*Crews pushes Austin aside before going back to the locker room in frustration\**

**Match 2: Kurt Angle vs Samoa Joe in a Singles Match**

Samoa Joe defeats Kurt Angle via KO in an one sided affair after Angle passes out to the Coquina Clutch at 6 minutes due to Angle’s fatigue and injury. After the match, Joe grabs a mic and begins to speak.

*Segment 3: \*Samoa Joe’s declaration on next week\**

Joe: Now that I am done with the 4th Reich for good, well, let’s just say I am going to reclaim back my Survival World Championship for the record 3rd time. In actual fact, I should be standing here as your new Survival World Champion but we shall save that for next week after I beat Dolph Ziggler to reclaim back what is mine. Let’s be real here, how can a man like Dolph Ziggler beat a machine like me?

\*Dolph Ziggler’s theme hits as he was greeted with cheers from the crowd, holding the Survival World Championship in his hand\*

Ziggler slowly limps his way to the ring and went face to face with Joe.

Ziggler: Samoa Joe, I always have respect for you but when you said I can’t beat you….man, you looked down on a guy who worked his ass to get where he is right now. I earned this title by going through hell. I swallowed my pride by joining the 4th Reich. Working in a toxic environment. Doing the most disgusting things to my fellow wrestlers. Forcing myself to beat up a legend like Sting. And getting suspended after I made my stand that I want to leave the 4th Reich by attempting to cash in on Punk. I held on my frustration and anger to ensure I walk out of Catalytic Resolution as the world champion. Unfortunately, you are just the wrong guy at the right time. I mean, I would still cash it in if Chris Hero or CM Punk won that match. I did it because I want to nail the final blow on Punk. I know that Punk will come to me, begging to give me my newly won Survival World Championship to him to prove my allegiance to him but little he did know, I was against the 4th Reich right from day one. I did it….to get here. I know it’s a dirty thing to do but you did the same thing by working with us.

Joe: Well, Ziggler. I guess you caught me red handed. Yeah, I did the same shit as you did but hey, why talk about the past when you have something to look forward to…..our match next week. With all due respect, I hope you will give me your absolute best because I know….you are going to need it. \*offers hand\*

Ziggler looks at the hand before speaking again.

Ziggler: I am not planning to lose this championship without a fight so, you’re on. \*shakes Joe’s hand\*

*\*Joe walks out of the ring, looking at Ziggler back to the locker room while Ziggler stands in the ring\**

**Match 3: Alberto Del Rio vs Rey Mysterio in a Singles Match**

Alberto Del Rio defeats Rey Mysterio in 3 minutes after forcing Mysterio to tap out to the Cross Armbreaker. After the match, Del Rio continues to assault Mysterio with chair shots while shouting “Heil Reich”.

Then this theme hits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FITbySMOyVo).

Cody Rhodes comes out with a huge pop which prompts Del Rio to stop his attack on Mysterio. Rhodes dashes into the ring and jumps on Del Rio. Rhodes grabs Del Rio up and hits the Cross Rhodes on Del Rio. Rhodes raises Mysterio up and brings him back to the locker room.

*Segment 4: \*The Shield’s theme hits and the crowd goes wild as Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins and Chris Hero walk to the ring through the crowd\**

Ambrose: Last Sunday…..we did what we set out to do. We put an end to the 4th Reich once and for good. From the very day we reunited to form the Shield again, we swore that we will put you out of your misery one by one. We have faced obstacles with our initial loss to the 4th Reich at Summer Showdown, Roman Reigns’s eye injury at Life Sentence, both Rollins and me not able to dethrone CM Punk’s status as champion, Sting’s devastating loss to Dolph Ziggler, D-Von and Erick Rowan’s ankle injury and the brawl that set the tone for Catalytic Resolution where all of us were beaten down by the hands of the 4th Reich. However, all of us prevail to the very end with Sting doing his job by ending Triple H’s reign as the notorious General Manager. Then….\*looks at Hero\*

Hero: Shut up, Ambrose. I know I didn’t get the job done by taking the Survival World Championship from CM Punk but I don’t really care about the Survival World Championship to begin with. As long Punk did not leave the arena with the championship, I think I did my part.

Rollins: Hero, no one is pointing fingers at you. You know Ambrose, he always does that to people. It’s part of his lunatic personality.

Ambrose steps in front of Hero and slaps him in the face.

Ambrose: You think I am blaming you for not winning the damn championship? I rather see the championship at the hands of Samoa Joe or Dolph Ziggler than see your career ends by the hands of CM Punk. But what you did to Punk last Sunday….is truly satisfying. Punk got what he deserved and about time as well. So shut your mouth and accept what we have done as an unit.

Hero: Well, you have a point. However, let’s move on to your parts. You guys nail the final blow to the 4th Reich by powerbombing Ryback through the cell and burning ring to end the war. But here is the question that we should be asking ourselves…..What’s next for the Shield?

Rollins: We did said that we reunite for one solitary reason and that is to put the end to the 4th Reich. Now that we have ended the 4th Reich, I don’t think there is any reason for us to be in the Shield. But I want you guys to decide. Should we stick as the Shield or call it quit and move on with our individual careers?

Hero: If we three decide right here tonight, then it won't be fair to Roman Reigns as he is not here to decide.

Ambrose: About Reigns, I already talked to him about it after our match. In fact, he will give his answer right now live via satellite from his home.

\*Roman Reigns’s face appears on the titantron with cheers\*

Reigns: I heard you all. I think….we should split up and do our own things. We have nothing to achieve by being an unit. We only hold each other back.

Ambrose: If that is what Reigns want, then we will just split up. But understand this, if we all face a huge problem, I will be there for any of you three. With that, we shall take our different paths then.

*\*The Shield does one last post in the ring before leaving the ring with crowd chanting Thank You Shield\**

*Segment 5: \*Cathy Kelly is backstage with The Miz in the interviewer room\**

Cathy: We just saw a possible end of the Shield tonight but last Sunday, the end of a friendship between two former best friends happened during the Intercontinental Championship match. With that, please welcome my guest at this time…..The Miz!

\*The Miz appears with huge heat as he dressed up in a suit with an expensive sunglasses\*

Cathy: Last Sunday, you attacked Johnny Mundo after he won the Intercontinental Championship from Apollo Crews and you in the Triple Threat Match. Why did you do such a thing to your friend?

Miz raises his hand on Cathy’s face before speaking.

Miz: When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut. Friend? Friend? Really? Really? Johnny Mundo is a friend of the Miz? The A-Lister? The Hollywood Star? The Moneymaker? Johnny Mundo is not even in the same league as the Miz to even consider him as a friend of mine. In fact, I used Mundo right from day 1 when we formed an alliance back in the old days. Everyone keep saying that I am the Marty Jannetty of the Rockers while Mundo is the Shawn Michaels. Newsflash, I am the Shawn Michaels of the tag team. I am more successful than Mundo ever been in his entire life. I made movies, I made headlines in the blockbuster movies, I made myself a star, I made money, I have a hot wife in Maryse, I was a former world champion after we went on our separate ways. What did Mundo do? Nothing. That’s right. He did nothing. I was told right from day 1 that I will never succeed in this industry. That I was nothing more than a perverted talk host who read his lines on his hand because he cannot remember his lines. Let me tell you my haters. Let me sum up 2 words to you people. FUCK YOU! Fuck you people who don’t think I am a success to this industry. Now that I am a success, you try to shove it to my face for autographs and fake praises that I am awesome. I AM AWESOME SINCE DAY 1! I DONT NEED PEOPLE TO TELL ME THAT I AM AWESOME! ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO DON’T BELIEVE ME! But it’s all right. All of you haters are still living in your pathetic lives while I am here….being a success in my life. So Mundo, what I did to you last Sunday….is to tell you one thing. I am the best among the rest. Because I AM...THE MIZ….AND I…..AM…..AWESOME!

*\*Miz walks off to end the segment\**

**Main event: Johnny Mundo © vs Apollo Crews in a Singles Match for the Intercontinental Championship**

After a close match, Mundo retains his championship via pinfall after hitting a superkick followed up with a Starship Pain at 19 minutes. After the match, Miz enters the ring and nails Mundo with a Skull Crushing Finale to end the show, posing the Intercontinental Championship over his head. After the show went off air, Crews regains back to his feet and starts to destroy the ringside by throwing things all over the place. Crews shouted that he is leaving Survival for good and he hopes Survival dies at the hands of Stone Cold.

## Survive This Ep 1

**The camera pans back to the interviewer room where Stephanie McMahon can be seen sitting down with an empty chair beside her.**

Stephanie: Welcome to the first ever edition of Survive This talk show. Starting from this week onwards, Survive This will be live on air immediately after Survival to get the wrestlers talking. Each week, we will have 2 wrestlers to talk and basically, anything goes here. But I will not be doing the talk alone. I am accompanied by none other than the Survival General Manager, Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Austin walks to his seat besides Stephanie and begins to speak.

Austin: Well, it’s great to do this talk show to get the wrestlers their thoughts on their feud and anything else. So let’s get this son of a bitch started, shall we?

Stephanie: As what Stone Cold said, Survive This talk show is for the wrestlers to talk about their feud, their best wrestler or even the brand as a whole. And for our first ever guest on this show….PLEASE WELCOME THE MIZ!

\*Miz appears on the scene and sit besides Stone Cold\*

Miz: Glad to be here Stephanie and Stone Cold. We finally get good management on this brand after a god damn year. Me being the first ever guest on this talk show will boost the ratings of Survive This. Great marketing, Stephanie. That is why you are the daughter of the great Vince McMahon.

Stephanie: Well, thank you Miz. But let’s get this started. You attacked Johnny Mundo 2 times within a week’s span. Why do you need to prove to the world that you are better than him?

Miz: I am very good friends with Johnny Mundo or people used to call him John Morrison. But whatever the case is, I feel that people are comparing me and him to the Rockers which I clearly stated during my interview with Cathy Kelly. I hate when people try to compare me with people of different abilities. I am a very competitive guy. I don’t take insults very well. I will prove those people wrong who think I can’t wrestle or I am destined for failure in the wrestling business. I hate it when people tweet me, saying that I should get my ass back to Hollywood because I am a shit wrestler. I worked hard to get where I am today. Yeah sure, I am not a nice guy but since when I am ever nice. In this business, you are always alone. Mundo and I enjoyed great success as a tag team back in the old days but you always know that when you are in the tag team division. Your success is limited. You want prove? See how the Rockers disbanded. See how the Shield announced their split. Tag team division can only lead to the tag team championship and that’s it. You can’t never be the Survival World Champion or Intercontinental Champion or even the United States Champion in the tag team division because sooner or later,  your partner will get jealous of you and start to backstab you to get the championship you worked hard for. That is why I attacked Johnny Mundo at Catalytic Resolution and tonight. He is a threat to me and my success. I have achieved a lot of things in my life but I have yet to taste the fruits of success in Survival and unfortunately, that have to start with Johnny Mundo’s demise.

Austin: So you feel you can beat Johnny Mundo for the Intercontinental Championship?

Miz: Yes, I can. And I will beat him for that title.

Austin: Miz, I understand your reasoning. When I was teaming up with Shawn Michaels and even that god damn socky smelly bitch Dude Love, I feel held back by those men. I was holding a singles championship when I was holding the tag team title with Dude Love or Mick Foley. And it was hard to multitask both titles as you can lose both of them in a snap of finger. So what you said makes sense but does that valid you to end a good friendship with Mundo for over 10 years?

Miz: I have to do it. This is a dog eat dog world. No one will look out for you when you have a giant target on your back.

Austin: Good answer. So here is what I will do. I will give you an Intercontinental Championship match against Johnny Mundo at the Royal Rumble. Originally I wanted you to face Apollo Crews next week to determine the number one contender but he decided to leave Survival.

Miz: Austin, thank you for giving me a chance. I mean, there is no one else who can get the job done. I will make my leave now.

Austin: Before you leave, there is something I want to ask you. You are here on Survival and with the possibility of women wrestlers coming on board to Survival. I have this one damn question for you. Where the fuck is Maryse?

Miz: Oh man, what a question. I don’t wish to say much but she is doing well in her own business. However, she does watch me wrestle so she is updated to the latest thing in my career.

Austin: All right, I won’t ask more because it’s a personal question.

Stephanie: Well then, thank you Miz for your time and we will get back to you on the finale guest for tonight.

\*Miz leaves the table back off to the locker room\*

Stephanie: That is huge news, Austin. Why did you give Miz the title shot at Royal Rumble?

Austin: Well, Stephanie. If that son of a gun think he deserved a shot, I am a fair guy. I give opportunities to individuals who earned that opportunities. Miz didn’t get pinned last Sunday in the Intercontinental Championship match and most of our big names will be featured in the 20 men battle royal next week. There isn’t enough mid card stars to face Miz for the number one contendership. Sure enough, you may say that I can use random wrestlers in but I feel Miz deserves an one on one shot first. If he can’t win it then we shall do a number one contendership match.

Stephanie: That sounds fair enough.

Austin: I am surprised Miz have a huge chip on his shoulder on how people view him.

Stephanie: Same here. However, I feel Miz have been overlooked by most people as a guy who can’t wrestle and is a destined failure. Miz have went out of his way to prove why he should be taken seriously and he started off by doing the unthinkable which is to attack his old friend, Johnny Mundo.

Austin: Well, we know more about the Miz tonight but let’s get it on with our final guest tonight. Which will be….Apollo Crews. Man, these fans sure like to put me in a tough spot on my first night here.

Stephanie: That is surprising. The fans wanted to know why Apollo Crews decided to leave Survival after a pretty good run. Anyway, please welcome Apollo Crews.

\*Apollo Crews comes to the seat, looking pretty down\*

Austin: So Apollo, I know we have a huge argument prior to your match. I want to know….no...the fans want to know. Why did you decide to leave Survival after your match tonight?

Crews: Okay, well first of all, it’s not because of you Austin. I didn’t leave because of your comments to me. I admit I didn’t do enough here and I think I am being overlooked by the management. So I feel leaving Survival would provide me new opportunities to build my name as a star in the wrestling business.

Stephanie: Throughout your run in Survival, a lot of fans was wondering why did you attack or insult Tom Phillips as a heel? Is it a rib or something else?

Crews: Tom Phillips….that fucking nerd. I attacked or insulted him during the interviews because we made a bet a long time ago that if I ended up turning heel, he would become my bitch. \*laughs\* Not really my bitch but he would help me gain heat by attacking him which benefits me as I need people to hate me when I am playing the bad guy. People don’t really buy me as a bad guy as I always smile and joke around so I feel that really push me as a big bully on Survival. But aside all of that, Tom and I are good friends.

Austin: Back on the topic of leaving Survival, what part of your run here did you find the most memorable?

Crews: I would have to say winning the Intercontinental Championship in a really, physical Street Fight back at Infinite Glory. That would be the greatest thing I have achieved here. I wish I could have a chance for a Survival World Championship match here but Dolph Ziggler deserved it more than me. He have come far from being in the Intercontinental Championship match in the beginning of this year to a Survival World Champion right now.

Stephanie: Rumors just broke out that you are going to Uprising after this. What are your thoughts on that?

Crews: You can’t really trust those rumors especially if it is Dave Meltzer. But I will look out for possible options out there. I will say this for sure. Survival have enabled me to make a name out for myself as a great worker. There is no ill memories of me working here as people here are great. Working with Cesaro and Zayn is one of best things that have happened to me here as I am able to learn a lot from those guys.

Austin: One last question before we wrap up. Any chance of you returning back to Survival?

Crews: Well, yeah. If the time is right, I might come back but that depends on the future. Now my future is up in the air and I would like to leave as it is for now.

Stephanie: Thank you Apollo Crews and we wish you well in your future endeavours in whatever brand or company you choose to pursue. That wraps it up for the first edition of Survive This.
