VENUE: The Beyond ‘Asylum’ Galen Center on the campus of University of Southern California CITY: Los Angeles, California CAPACITY: 10,258 ANNOUNCE TEAM: Mauro Renallo & Corey Graves

Huge pyro explodes from the stage and 10,000 strong are on their feet in the Beyond ‘Asylum’ in SoCal .... Mauro Renallo and Corey Graves join us ringside and it’s time to go ‘BEYOND’!!!! ...





We get the opening pyro as MAURO RENALLO and COREY GRAVES hype tonight’s show .... they talk about the things we will see tonight, including the Beyond tag team title tournament continuing as well as Shane McMahon addressing the controversial ending to the Beyond ELITE title match between Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho ....


‘SEXY BOY’ hits and out comes ‘HeartBreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels accompanied by DIESEL (Kevin Nash) .... the controversy in the ELITE title match was overshadowed by the finish of the show, which saw DIESEL debut and help HBK win by taking the Rock out with a powerbomb ....

HBK cuts a promo about his win over the Rock and talks more trash .... you can say a lot of things about Shawn Michaels, but you can’t say he’s out here trying to be something he’s not .... makes no qualms about the man he is .... He’s the same man behind that curtain that he is in that ring .... he doesn’t come out here and pretend to be someone he’s not .... he’s not out here trying to convince everyone that he’s ‘the most electrifying man in sports and entertainment’ because he knows in this ring no one can touch him .... The Rock has let all this Hollywood stuff go to his head, and his movies aren’t even that good .... so if the Rock sticks his nose in HBK’s business he’s gonna have to bend him over his knee and give him the whoopin that his daddy should have ....

HBK says in a business full of people that want to stab each other in the back, you rarely find a best friend but now that he has Big Daddy Cool watching his back Shawn Michaels is ready to take over BEYOND .... HBK says he knows Shane McMahon has his hands full tonight, so he’s not going to ask he’s going to DEMAND that he and Diesel get the last spot in the Beyond tag team tournament tonight ....


BACKSTAGE SEGMENT w/ CHARLY CARUSO

Chary is with Shane McMahon .... Shane announces he is going to grant HBK’s request and Shawn & Diesel will face the Steiners tonight in Round 1 of the Beyond tag title tournament .... Shane promises to address the situation regarding the ELITE title tonight ....


Lance Storm comes out and once again claims to be the best technical wrestler in BEYOND .... he is out here again to prove it to everyone and show all these people what a real pure wrestler looks like .... This match will be contested under his terms ‘Pure Rules’ ....



Alexander pushes Storm here with his athleticism .... neither man has to use a rope break, but Storm catches Alexander as he springboards in and rolls through into the Canadian Maple Leaf .... Alexander still has both his rope breaks, but can’t make it to the ropes to use them and he’s forced to tap out ....  


BACKSTAGE SEGMENT w/ JENN DECKER

Jenn is standing by with Natalya Neidhart and the newest tag team in Beyond, the Stampede Bulldogs .... Natalya says they have officially signed with BEYOND and they face the A-List tonight in round 1 of the tag title tournament ....

They talk about being part of the Hart Dynasty and continuing the legacy but they are interrupted by the A-List entourage, including The Miz, John Morrison and Maryse .... the A-List talk mad shit to the Bulldogs, and things get heated backstage ahead of their match coming up tonight ....


IN-RING: Kurt Angle comes out and talks about his big win over Nikita Koloff at INCEPTION .... Beating Nikita was great, but he’s not done with the Russians because they still have his gold medals .... He calls out Nikita but instead Ivan comes out .... Ivan says Nikita isn’t here this week because he is spending the week in Siberia because he failed to beat Angle .... Ivan says Angle cheated like a typical American .... He has no integrity because he attacked him and made him to where he had to use crutches .... Angle with a right hand decks Ivan and then he locks on the ankle lock again! ....

Out of the crowd comes Rusev!!!!  Rusev lays out Angle with the Matchka kick!!!! .... Angle is out, and Rusev stomps on Angle’s back and then locks on the Accolade!!!!  Ivan  has the mic and says Angle is still a puny American and Russia has superior athletes .... He introduces the ‘Russian Super Athlete’ Alexander Rusev .... they are going to be the ones to restore Mother Russia to her former glory because .... Ivan says Rusev will face Angle tonight ....



Great back and forth action here, especially with the athleticism of Kidd and Morrison on display .... lots of false finishes down the stretch as both teams nearly pull off the win .... The Bulldogs hit the Hart Attack 2.0 (powerbomb + blockbuster) on Miz, but Morrison pulls the ref out of the ring right before the 3 count!  Morrison goes for the flying chuck to Smith, but he catches him in mid-air and hits the bulldog powerslam!  Maryse is on the apron distracting the ref this time, but Natalya pulls her off and locks on the Sharpshooter on the floor!  Miz pulls Natalya off and gets in her face, but Tyson Kidd takes Miz out with a dive .... While this is going on, Taya Valkyrie comes out of nowhere and nails Natalya from behind!  Smith is distracted by this, allowing Miz to sneak up from behind and hit the Skull Krushing Finale!  Morrison follows up with the Starship Pain for the 3 count!


BACKSTAGE SEGMENT w/ CHARLY CARUSO

CM Punk and Paul Heyman are interviewed by Charly .... Heyman cuts Charly off and makes sure to let her know it’s her pleasure to interview the world champion .... Punk says that silence is deafening and Hulk Hogan still hasn’t accepted his challenge .... He doesn’t want to accept it because he knows his days as a champion are numbered .... if he faces Punk, he won’t be a champion anymore so instead he is hiding from him ....

Matt Riddle interrupts Punk .... ‘Brooooo’ .... Punk says he told Riddle to never call him that .... Riddle says ‘Bro, I almost had you last week.’  Punk laughs .... Riddle says he lost fair and square, and offers Punk a fist-bump .... Punk says Riddle was never close and Punk dominated him because he’s the best in the world .... Riddle says if it was so easy to beat him then he should have no problem doing it again .... How about tonight?  Punk says no .... He allowed Riddle to come up to his level last week, but he lost .... Now he goes back down to the bottom .... Punk says he already has an opponent tonight, but Riddle can watch him and he might learn something ....


At ringside, Mauro says that’s a surprise to him that Punk will be putting his UWF title on the line tonight???


HBK bumps for Rick & Scott early on, but it’s a big deal when Diesel is tagged in .... Diesel starts to dominate with power moves and he and HBK isolate Scott and work him over .... Scott battles back and Rick gets the hot tag into the match .... Scott with the Tiger Bomb to HBK but Diesel breaks it up .... Diesel clotheslines Rick over the top to the floor, but Scott hits an exploded Suplex on Diesel!  Tilt-a-whirl slam on HBK and then he sits him up top but HBK shoves him off and hits the top rope elbow!  HBK tunes up the band for sweet chin music, but the Rock is here!!!!  Rock with right hands to HBK, but Diesel is back up and takes Rock out with a big boot!!!!  Diesel gets Rock set up for the jackknife ... LOW BLOW!  HBK runs right into the Rock Bottom!!!!  Rock a slides out, talking trash as he backs up the ramp .... Meanwhile, Scott lays an arm across the chest of Michaels and the ref counts 1 ... 2 ... 3!  


BACKSTAGE SEGMENT w/ JENN DECKER

Shawn Michaels is throwing a fit backstage ... The Rock screwed them but he won’t stop them .... HBK says he already beat the Rock, but Rock is like that little nugget that won’t go away .... Next week Diesel is gonna handle his light weight and send Rock back to Hollywood .... he challenges Rock to face Diesel next week ....


IN-RING - We go back to the ring with Shane McMahon .... Shane starts the segment by making Rock vs. Diesel official for the next episode of BEYOND .... but right now he’s out there to discuss the controversy in the ELITE title match at INCEPTION .... Shane brings out Daniel Bryan .... Bryan doesn’t have the ELITE title with him and Shane says it’s because he had to give the belt back to Jericho .... Bryan says he made Chris Jericho tap out not once, but twice.  He wants another match against Jericho ....

ON THE BIG SCREEN:  Chris Jericho appears via satellite ....

JERICHO - ‘Ahhhh, the Beyond ELITE title .... back where it rightfully belongs: over the shoulder of Le Champion.  And as I sit here in my palatial estate, drinking a little bit of the BUBBLEY, Ive seen all the whining and complaining on social media.  I’ve heard from all the trolls and gelatinous tapeworms on Twitter about how Daniel Bryan was supposedly ‘robbed’ at INCEPTION.  But I’ve got news for you Danny Boy, and for everyone else: this ain’t the NFL.  There isn’t any kneeling, no protesting, and there is no instant replay.  There are no challenge flags.  If there was, I would throw one on each and every one of you people in attendance!  I would throw one on Shane McMahon for his grossly inadequate leadership.  The fact is, I sit here in my beautiful mansion with my title and I am STILL ‘Le Champion’.  And today is a day of celebration, and I have no problem celebrating by himself.  I’m an only child.  

But I do want to address one thing, and that is you saying you made me tap out twice at INCEPTION.  All of your little nerd followers on the internet have been letting me have it all week.  Did I tap out?  You damn right I did.  I tapped out to the Yes Lock because it hurts.  I tapped out, but I also pinned YOUR shoulders to the mat 1-2-3 .... So the original referees decision stands and he ruled it a draw, therefore STILL your Beyond Champion ... Le Champion .... Chris Jericho!  And now it’s time to move on to bigger and better things .... new challenges .... world titles ....’

Jericho is cut off as Finn Balors music hits and he comes out to the ring .... he addresses Jericho and says he wants the next shot and it isn’t open for discussion .... Bryan cuts him off to object, and they get nose to nose.  Balor says Bryan had his shot and couldn’t get the job done .... Balor is next in line ....  Shane steps into the middle of the tense stand-off and has a solution .... Shane agrees with Finn, but also says Bryan deserves a rematch after how things ended at INCEPTION .... so next week it will be Jericho vs. Balor, and Bryan will face the winner ....


PROMO -

We see highlights of Drew McIntyre in the crowd at INCEPTION .... it is announced that McIntyre has signed a deal with Beyond and will be here next week ....



Rusev’s power allows him to batter Angle around the ring, while Ivan shouts instructions from the floor .... Angle battles back, hitting a series of suplexes and gets a near fall.  Angle targets the bare feet of Rusev, attacking the ankle .... Angle gets the ankle lock on Rusev, but before he can tap out Nikita hits the ring!  Nikita is here after all!  He attacks Angle and we get the DQ ....

Angle battles back against Nikita, but Rusev cuts him off with the Matchka kick!  Ivan has the Russian Chain and hands it to Nikita, and Nikita wraps it around his fist and blasts Angle with it .... Angle is busted open .... Nikita pummels Angles bloody face with the chain, when out of the crowd comes Shelton Benjamin!!!!  The crowd is in shock as Benjamin comes to the rescue of Angle wielding a steel chair!  Benjamin sends the Russians packing, and stands over Angle ....






‘Ladies and Gentlemen, my name ... is ... Paul Heyman ...’

Paul Heyman comes out and shills for CM Punk, bringing out the UWF world champion .... Punk says that he is still waiting for Hulk Hogan to answer his challenge, but Hogan is hiding from him ....

‘EYE OF THE TIGER’ hits!  Punk gets a scared look on his face as the fans pop, but it quickly turns to laughter as out comes ... RANDY HOGAN!  Randy Hogan comes out as a parody of Hulk Hogan, doing the posing and the whole 9 yards.  Punk says finally a Hogan with a set of balls has come out to face him .... He will put the title on the line against Hogan tonight ....



This is a parody match .... Punk attacks and dominates, hitting Hogan with the GTS and locking on the Anaconda Vice .... Hogan quickly taps out ....

POST MATCH: Matt Riddle’s music hits and he comes out .... This is the guy Punk wanted to fight?  Broooo .... Riddle knows a guy with the last name Hogan that wants to fight Punk .... Punk says he won’t answer his challenge because he’s afraid of the real world champion .... Hulk Hogan comes out of the crowd!  Heyman is screaming ‘BEHIND YOU!’ but it’s too late ....  Punk turns .... YOOOOOOOU!  Hogan fires off right hands and shoots Punk into the ropes and hits the big boot .... Hogan grabs a chair ... WHAM!  He blasts Punk across the back!  Punk rolls to safety, clutching the UWF title as Heyman helps him up the aisle .... but their path is blocked by Matt Riddle!  Punk is trapped between them, so he and Heyman jump the rail and escape into the crowd ....  

Hogan and Riddle give each other a fist bump and Hogan poses while Riddle dances around being goofy as the show ends ....

I already dig the heel HBK

Good to see a Lance Storm push

So is Nikita gone? Ivan seemed to be more concerned with the debut of Rusev

Easy win for A-List

Calling it now.....HBK & Diesel win the tag straps

Ahhhh theres Nikita!
